Chapter 122 : Lie Down Properly
Chapter 122: Lie Down Properly
The light screen flickered twice, then a line of bold, enlarged red text popped out, every word exuding a thick, unmistakable aura of suggestive nonsense:
【Reference Sentence 1: Please thoroughly… me!】
【Reference Sentence 2: Please make sure to ruthlessly… me!】
【Reference Sentence 3: If it’s for Master, then… is also fine!】
Lilia: “……”
Lilia: “…………”
“What are the ellipses for?”
“To fill in the words yourself!”
The room fell into a deathly silence.
Only the howling wind outside the window echoed faintly, as if mocking some poor soul about to suffer a complete social death.
Three seconds later, Lilia expressionlessly raised the “Magical Beast Eyeball” in her hand and was about to smash it straight into her temple.
“Just end it. Hurry up.”
【Stop stop stop! Don’t die yet! Look at this!】
The System screamed as it flashed a row of dazzling golden icons across the light screen.
【If you can successfully trigger one of these ‘special judgments,’ even if Her Majesty only asks you to pour a glass of water, the System can forcibly classify it as an ‘S-rank Obedience Mission’!】
【The reward pool includes but is not limited to:】
【Mythical Skill Book: 《Absolute Defense (3-Second True Man Version)》】
【Special Item: 《Substitute Death Puppet (That’s an extra life, dear!)》】
【Free Attribute Points: +10 (All-in once and become a superhuman!)】
Lilia’s hand, which was about to strike her temple, froze stiffly midair.
That dazzling golden glow stung her eyes—and shook the already fragile bottom line she had.
After all, in her previous life as an overworked corporate slave, she could chug three bottles of cola in one go just for a few hundred yuan attendance bonus. Now, for life-saving artifacts, saying a few shameless lines… didn’t seem like that bad of a deal?
Besides, Hera, that frigid and indifferent woman, might not even take it seriously. At most, she’d just glance at her like she was some deranged pervert.
Being looked at as a pervert by a beautiful boss was still better than being dismantled into parts by a psychotic loli.
“…Are you sure?”
Lilia’s voice trembled slightly—that was her conscience making its final struggle.
“As long as I say… say these kinds of shameless things, I can get god-tier rewards?”
【Honest and fair! No deception!】
The System swore confidently.
【As long as you can let go of your dignity, this System can make you rich overnight! For the sake of becoming stronger, there’s no shame in it!】
Lilia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
“Fine.”
She gritted her back teeth and squeezed out the word through the gaps.
Demon Queen, forgive me. For the sake of my life, your ears will have to suffer!
At that moment—
“Lilia.”
Hera’s signature voice, carrying a trace of coldness and laziness, suddenly sounded in her mind. It was telepathic transmission.
Because of the Conjoined Heart Lock ring, the voice was so clear it felt like it was whispering right beside her ear—she could even feel that tingling vibration.
Lilia jolted, instinctively straightening her body. “Here!”
Hera was concise.
“I forgot something outside. Bring it into the bathroom for me.”
The opportunity had come!
Lilia’s heart started pounding wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
Fetch something?
Bathroom, private item, maid… combining just these few keywords, with a little imagination, she could easily create a full-on suggestive scenario!
Lilia glanced at the row of glittering rewards on the light screen.
All or nothing!
She quickly straightened the maid outfit that she had wrinkled earlier, then slapped her cheeks hard, trying to make the blush from embarrassment look more like excitement.
“Coming right away, Master!”
Lilia pushed open the door and strode toward Hera’s Bedchamber.
With every step, she gave herself mental encouragement.
I’m a professional.
I’m sacrificing myself for art.
I’m doing this for world peace.
I’m… I’m a hentai!
The Bedchamber door was slightly ajar.
As she pushed it open, a wave of warm mist mixed with the fragrance of body wash rushed toward her.
Hearing the sound, Hera slightly turned her head. Her golden eyes swept over Lilia indifferently, and she held an empty wine glass in her hand.
“On the shelf over there.”
Hera lifted her chin, gesturing toward the bathroom. Her tone was as calm as discussing the weather. “Bring me that bottle of red essential oil. I want to massage my shoulders.”
Just getting essential oil?
Too simple!
Wasn’t this looking down on her, an S-rank maid?!
If she only fetched the oil, the System would probably just give her some useless lubricant as a reward!
She had to add drama! She had to add drama for herself!
Lilia took a deep breath, her gaze instantly turning resolute, as if facing death.
Instead of heading to the bathroom, she suddenly dropped to one knee with a “thud,” her knee hitting the carpet with a dull sound.
Hera raised an eyebrow, the wine glass in her hand pausing midair, a hint of confusion appearing in her eyes.
What was this little one going crazy about now?
Lilia raised her head. Her crimson eyes gleamed with a strange light—desire for divine artifacts, greed for power, and a complete abandonment of dignity.
She opened her mouth and, in a tone as if reciting an epic hymn, loudly declared:
“Master!”
“How could something as trivial as fetching essential oil reflect my loyalty to you!”
“Please, you must allow me—”
Lilia paused for a moment. She felt like her face was hot enough to fry an egg, but there was no turning back now. She steeled herself and roared:
“Please allow me to XXX for you.”
“……”
The air froze.
The wind stopped.
Hera didn’t move for a full five seconds.
Her usually calm, unfathomable golden eyes were now slightly widened, filled with something she had never shown before… shock.
What on earth was this little maid doing now?
But this kind of…
【Ding!】
A crisp, extremely pleasant notification sound rang in Lilia’s mind.
It was the sound of coins dropping.
【Congratulations, Host! Detected an extremely high-energy and shameless request! Task difficulty has instantly skyrocketed to SSS-rank!】
【Mission Name: Ultimate Sacrifice of a Humble Maid (Pseudo)】
【Generating rewards…】
It worked!
Lilia was overjoyed. Tears nearly welled up in her eyes.
No matter what she had to face next, this wave—was worth it!
However, before she could even see what the rewards were, Hera suddenly moved.
She slowly set down the wine glass. The bottom of the glass touched the table with a crisp “tap.”
The sound wasn’t loud, but in the silent room, it was like thunder.
Hera stood up and walked step by step toward Lilia.
The hem of her black nightgown swayed gently with her movements, like a mass of black mist about to devour everything.
That familiar sense of pressure descended along with the cold cedar fragrance.
The courage Lilia had just mustered instantly deflated by half. Her throat tightened, and she instinctively wanted to shrink back.
D-did I overdo it?
Is the boss really going to sit on me like a massage chair until I die?
A cool hand gently lifted Lilia’s chin.
Hera lowered her gaze, looking down at that small face flushed red from embarrassment and excitement.
“Since you have this kind of awareness…”
“If I don’t fulfill you, wouldn’t that be letting down your loyalty?”
Lilia: “???”
W-wait!
This isn’t how the script goes!
You’re supposed to call me a pervert! You’re supposed to tell me to get lost! You’re supposed to throw me out!
Hera released her hand, turned around, and walked toward the wide soft couch. Then she sat down gracefully, crossing her legs, her slender pale calves faintly visible beneath the black robe.
She beckoned at Lilia with her finger. In her eyes flickered a certain light—something like “a new world being opened.”
“Come here.”
“Lie down properly.”
“Don’t move.”
