Chapter 1.3: Teach me how to use this puny worm.
Ye Xia called someone from the outside and asked them to carry Qiuyue away from her room. She got her head out of the window and looked from left to right to confirm that the girl was taken away. Outside of her room, there were two guys, standing guard, wearing a chainmail armor while each holding a spear and was chatting with each other. On the other hand, she was now alone inside the room and was particularly bored. The quiet and peaceful situation inside the room has made her brain solely focused on her situation as she stressed out by the fact that her life was turned into a whole course of 360’ degrees.
She had decided, she wanted to live and survive this newly given life. But thanks to the useless servant, not only that she had wasted her precious time and energy but also has yet to gain any useful information. Thinking about many things at once has made her head hurt so much, so she stopped thinking and tried to reach the herbal tea that was on a small shelf next to her bed.
The cup that she tried to reach had no handle and when she reached it, she accidentally pushed the cup onto her lap, pouring the tea onto her clothes before it crashed on the floor. Her lower part was wet and felt chilly when she stood up. Irked by her own clumsiness, she decided to explore the room and searched for clothes that she could change into.
The room was considerably large and well decorated. There was a small room, made of wooden wall and floor, which has a large wooden bathtub in the middle with many shapes and sizes of pot, lined up at the corner of the wall. Apart from the bathroom, there was a small room just beside it, lining up males clothes like a walk-in closet that she had back in her old mansion and as she walked in, she discovered a huge bronze oval item glued to the wall. She finally remembered that in the historical drama, the ancient people often used the bronze as the replacement of a mirror.
With her heart beating hard, she walked toward the mirror. Her palms were sweating nervously as a cold sweat flowing down her back. A blurry image became more visible as she leaned closer to it, she was stunned. Her mouth gaped open and her eyes blinked a few time before she focused her attention to the mirror.
She didn’t manage to take a good look at this face before but when she did it now, she couldn’t stop staring at the man inside the reflection. His slim and muscular body entirely matched his almost perfectly symmetrical face. As Ye Xia touched her face and her hands, she felt that his skin was fairer and smoother compared to her previous body. When he smiled, a faint glimpse of naughtiness could be spotted within the alluring thin pair of lips. His light luster gray pair of almond-shaped eyes, which spaced evenly apart, sitting below trim eyebrows would make any girl blushed if he stared at them. Together with his silky long chestnut-brown hair tied loose at the end made him look even more so enchanting. Just based on the look, he certainly has surpassed any man that Ye Xia has ever met in her previous life including the top magazine model and actors.
As she stared at the mirror, she was distracted by the reflection and lost count of the time until she felt chilly at her lower part. She took off the outer robe together with the inner robe in a hurry and was almost naked. She randomly reached a black inner robe and when she was about to wear it, she saw her body in the mirror. When her eyes met the gorgeous looking hunk in the reflection her nose automatically bled.
A thought passed through her mind very quickly and made her instantly shaking her head vigorously as her face blushed in bright pink. She wiped her nose using the robe that she dropped on the floor. Then, she wore the black robe in a hurry, doing it clumsily since she didn’t know how to wear it properly. In the end, she decided to wear it like a bathrobe and only a loincloth at the lower part.
She muttered softly as she was facing the mirror, “Everything about this body,” she touched her bicep, “was a beauty except for …” slowly she lowered her eyes towards her lower body while frowning in disgust.
“Only ‘that part’ was extremely hideous.”
She was about to search for a toilet when she heard loud chattering came from the outside. She returned to her bed and was faking the snores but the knocking that came from behind the door stopped her act. An elderly female voice was asking permission to enter and Ye Xia immediately rejected her harshly, “Leave, I don’t want anyone in my room, go away.”
Unfortunately, as soon as Ye Xia dismissed them, two elderly female boldly made their way into the room before saying, “Please excuse our manner.” They undressed Ye Xia, causing her to shriek like a little girl.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“What the hell are you doing?” Ye Xia covered her chest with both arms, “I am your master! Get out! Did you not hear me?!”
Even though the female servant was way older than her, they were much stronger than Ye Xia. They ignored Ye Xia’s protests and helped her wearing a white and purple layered robe with the silver lining butterfly pattern. In a split second, her hair was combed by the elderly female servant and she was fully dressed. After they had done their work, they exited the room and Qiuyue entered.
Ye Xia immediately glared at Qiuyue the moment the girl step into the room. The girl startled and quiver in fear. She held back her tear from crying and muffling her mouth from making even a small noise. Seeing the pitiful sight of the girl, Ye Xia sighed and asked in a cold tone.
“Is it you that ordered them to dress me up?”
Qiuyue stared at her for a while before shaking her head and replied, “It was the house master’s order. This servant was only ordered to help young master to prepare to go to the Huo Guest Hall to meet with a medical expert that second master has invited.”
“Who is this second master? Why would I need to meet a medical expert?” Ye Xia frowned and thought about it but she had no answer.
“The second master is your father, else… This servant doesn’t know…” Qiuyue lowered her head in embarrassment, she was clueless about it. Suddenly, she tilted her head upward, “Ah, perhaps it was to help young master to regain your memories?”
Ye Xia gulped nervously, she was acting like she lost her memory but in reality, she was not the Ye Xia that they know. There was no telling what would happen to her if the expert finds out and exposed her secret. She would probably be dead when it happens.
“NO!!! No, no! No!” She shook her head vigorously as her face lost its color.
“Young master? What happen? Someone called the doc--”
Ye Xia slapped the girl’s cheek and yelled, “Shut up! I don’t want to meet any doctor anymore. I don’t need them!”
“But,” Qiuyue hesitantly said while rubbing her painful cheek, “the second master orders…”. When she faced upward she saw that Ye Xia was shivering, she immediately forgot the pain she had on her left cheek and worriedly asked,“Young master, why are you shivering so hard?”
“I need to pee… Where’s the toilet?!”
Ye Xia originally had forgotten about the chill feeling she had earlier but when the air blew near her, she felt goosebump all over her body and remembered that she has yet to pee.
Qiuyue blinked her eyes with a dumb expression as she was confused by her master fast change of emotions before she showed the room, where Ye Xia had originally thought the bathroom was. After Ye Xia entered the toilet, Qiuyue pointed toward the empty pot and blushed.
She twitched from the corner of her eyes, staring at the pot. Given the current situation, she doesn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. How foolish of her to think that they would have a modern flushed toilet when this world’s technology has not advanced yet. She gestured toward Qiuyue and ordered her to get out of the room. She glanced to her lower part and simultaneously her legs felt weak, making her kneeled on the floor tile.
“What should I do now… God…”
“Why would you need a god when it’s your own body?”
Ye Xia turned her head around in a flash when she heard the voice of a man speaking near to her ear. She had no idea when did this person snuck into the room plus going unnoticed with that heavenly look, it was impossible. But clearly in front of her was an enchanting figure of a feminine looking man wearing a soft peach colored layered with sky blue inner robe and purple silk around his waist, staring at her with his alluring emerald snake-like eyes. The man sighed and made her regained her attention. She didn’t know who this person was but currently, she had a better thing to do, which was to relieve herself.
She pointed her finger toward the frame door and ordered him, “Get out,” in a domineering tone.
“Why should I? Didn’t you called me just now?”
While scrunching her eyebrows, she asked, “When did I call you?”
“A few seconds ago.”
“I did not--”
Hearing the nonsense that the man spouted, she was going to deny it but she suddenly remembered that she did ask for someone to help. Except that she didn’t ask for a man but was asking for a god. She guessed in her mind even though she hardly believed it. But it was only sensible if the beautiful man that entered her room unnoticed was the god.
“You could say that I am a god but not quite. That was just something that you mortal decided to call us.”
She was taken aback when the man knew what she had in her mind. “Did you read my mind?” She stared at the man with a menacing glare but the man did not flinch. He casually looked into her eyes with his glowing emerald snake eyes as he spoke.
“That’s not the only thing that we were able to do.”
“Then what--- Brrrr~~”
Her question was cut off when her whole body shuddered before she fell onto the floor feeling limp all over her body. It was a dire state where she no longer had any choice. She stared at the man in front of her with pitiful looking puppy eyes and said, “please teach me...”.
“Huh?”
“Please teach me how to use this puny worm.”
