A figure with long green hair stepped down from the flying car and quickly entered the manorâs hall.
âMaster!â The beautiful young lady half-knelt respectfully in front of Wang Teng.
âBertha, itâs been a long time!â The hero smiled. âGet up, thereâs no need for the formalities.â
The lady stood up.
âSit,â he said, pointing at the chair next to him.
âI wouldnât dare,â she replied.
âSit when I tell you to.â His tone was calm.
âYes!â Berthaâs heart jumped in surprise.
Her master was stronger than before; his current presence was a bit unbearable. However, she followed his orders to a T, so she quickly sat down.
âRelax, I wonât eat you.â Wang Teng said.
Her beautiful face suddenly turned red. No one knew what she was thinking.
Eat meâŠ
How would he do that?
It wasnât her fault. A beautiful slave like her was supposed to comply with such matters.
Many people would spend lots of money to buy slaves like her so they could have a good bite.
She was powerful and gorgeous, inciting people into desiring to conquer her.
Wang Teng looked at her, feeling at a loss. He didnât know what she was thinking.
Why is it that all the women Iâve met recently look at me like that?
Do they think Iâm a sick pervert?
Wang Teng was frustrated. He cleared his throat and said, âWhat are you thinking? Why do women like you think about such things?â
â???â Bertha was dumbfounded.
Master is truly shameless, playing the blame game.
He changed the subject with a straight face, âAll right. Hurry up and get those nasty thoughts out of your head. Letâs get down to business.â
She asked after taking a deep breath, âWhy were you looking for me?â
âMy territories have expanded. I see that youâve done a good job managing both the Milky Way and the Yulan Galaxy. It is now time for you to take on more responsibilities.â He then stood up and patted her shoulder.
This came as a shock to the young lady.
She already knew that Wang Teng had become an earl.
The addition of more territories was something she had foreseen, given his rise in status.
However, being handed the reins to manage the new territories was an unexpected move.
Nobles would often choose to assign a different person for each territory as a way to safeguard their interests. Not only would it decentralize their power, the administrators would keep each other in check.
Even if one of them had a problem, it would affect the othersâ performance.
However, the young earl was actually assigning her to manage everything. Did he trust her that much?
Of course, Bertha was flattered by this.
She hesitated for a while before she commented, âMaster, Iâm afraid this isnât appropriate.â
She wanted to refuse.
Being a mere slave, her life was in the young heroâs hands. She would be doomed if anything went wrong.
âYou seem concerned,â Wang Teng said.
The response was blunt. âYes, Iâm afraid this is beyond my capabilities.â
âHave you forgotten about Round Ballâs existence? How does it feel to have its help so you can manage two galaxies?â he asked.
âHaving Sir Round Ball guiding me is indeed helpful,â Bertha replied.
âSir Round Ball?â The young heroâs expression was odd.
âHehehe.â Round Ballâs snickering could be heard in Wang Tengâs mind.
âHow vicious of you.â
The little helper cleared its throat. âCough, Iâm still an intelligent lifeform after all. I canât be looked down upon.â
âAlright, I canât be bothered with you.â Wang Teng then looked at Bertha. âSince you have Round Ballâs help, what is there to be afraid of? I will continue to have the fellow help you.â
The young administrator was still hesitant.
âFeel free to step into the role. I will give you full rights and the freedom to do so. I wonât blame you in case of honest mistakes, unless you start getting other ideas. If that were the case, IâllâŠâ Wang Teng left the sentence unfinished.
She was flustered by this, so she quickly replied, âDonât worry. My life is in your hands, I wouldnât dare have any odd thoughts.â
âThereâs nothing to worry about, then.â Wang Teng smiled.
âAll right.â Bertha smiled bitterly, âLooks like you want me to manage all your territories.â
âThis represents my trust in you, Bertha.â Wang Teng patted her shoulder again.
She rolled her eyes.
He clearly wants to wash his hands off the responsibility. And yet, he says he trusts me.
Why should I believe you!
But this also showed his high regard for her work. It made her happy.
It was rare for a slave to achieve something as grand.
She sometimes thought her life had peaked.
After all, she was just a cosmos stage warrior. Not even the ordinary heaven stage warriors would have the authority to manage multiple galaxies.
Wang Teng made this possible!
The young slave looked at her master with mixed feelings. He was just a Baron when she was bought, living in unstable conditions.
However, he now had a firm foothold and became an Earl. His status had undergone a drastic change, giving her a surreal feeling.
âOh right, howâs Hardy doing lately?â Wang Teng asked.
âHe must be on Earth protecting your family.â
He nodded and said, âAll right, carry on. Iâll have Round Ball message you if thereâs anything.â
âUnderstood.â The young administrator got up and took her leave.
She sighed after walking out of the manor, fearing that her master would ask her to stay and warm his bed.
After all, she couldnât refuse if he ever made that kind of request.
Unless she chose death.
âŠ
Wang Teng stretched his back after watching her leave. Dumping all the work to his subordinate was a joyful experience.
However, he realized that he was understaffed after his rise in power.
The hero shook his head. Such matters canât be rushed. It would all depend on fate.
Leaving the matter to rest, the young hero went back to the cultivation and resumed his meditation.
He had to admit it: the more techniques he mastered, the more time was needed for cultivation, even with the support of the system. Time management was critical if he wanted to keep making progress.
He sat cross-legged inside the room and began to work on the lightning domain he had obtained during the League of Talents.
His clone had already turned this domain into the Lightning Spear Domain during the elimination battle. His clone had explored the forbidden lightning zone, and the results were multiplied.
The efficiency to develop this attribute was greatly reduced when practicing on planet Yuming.
Fortunately, his accumulated enlightenment was great, which could save a lot of time.
The strands of enlightenment flashed in his mind, and his Lightning Spear Domain reached the fourth rank. Fluctuations surrounded his body; there were also faint arcs of energy leaping about. There was even a faint sound of thunder.
Just then, an extremely sharp aura made a sudden appearance in the arc filled domain. Sword glows were formed as the lightning scurried around, emitting a deadly and dangerous presence.
Golden Lightning Sword Domain!
That was the sword domain he obtained from the attributes dropped by the Third Prince; furthermore, it was a Combined Domain.
The princeâs domain was merely at the second rank. However, it had already attained the fourth rank in Wang Tengâs hand.
After all, his metal and lightning domains were fourth-ranked.
A combined domain would naturally reach the fourth rank, too.
Fortunately, he had already obtained the attributes for the Golden Lightning Sword Domain. He was familiar with the Combined Domain; it was just that his domain was stronger than the Third Princeâs, which was why he needed time to assimilate and test it.
Time passed slowly, and the two surrounding domains had completely fused into one. The golden and purple glows flickered and danced around non stop, forming dangerous sword projections.
