Chapter 59: Twin Sisters

A pair of noble twin sisters, just seventeen years old this year, were once the daughters of a count. Their bloodline is noble enough, and their looks are extremely beautiful. He was sure to be satisfied.

Sure enough, Xu Feng's eyes lit up—what a pair of beautiful girls. The same face, the same figure, even their height was exactly the same. Twins.

Hmm, he couldn't help but let his mind wander a bit—men understand.

Moreover, the two sisters were also extremely beautiful. Although slightly inferior to Xiuer beside him, the difference was not much, and having two identically beautiful faces to look at was a real treat.

Hmm, that's more like it. After spending so much money, adding this pair of twins now made it worth the price!

"This is the elder sister, Feimo. This is the younger sister, Laimor."

Xu Feng was puzzled and glanced at Nasim. This pair of twins looked exactly alike; how could he tell them apart?

"Haha, Your Excellency, look." Nasim's face broke into a slight smile. "Each of the sisters has a beauty mark on her face. The elder sister's is on the left, while the younger sister's is on the right."

"So that's how it is."

"Is Your Excellency satisfied?"

"Hmm."

Xu Feng nodded. This pair of sisters could serve as personal attendants. The two girls were also secretly sizing up Xu Feng. Although their future fate still filled them with apprehension, they at least breathed a sigh of relief. A handsome man always has more affinity.

The handover was quickly completed. In total, there were thirty slaves—fifteen barbarian girls and fifteen former noblewomen. They would serve as maids in Xu Feng's mansion in Fort Lute, responsible for the outer and inner residences respectively. To be honest, the staffing was a bit lacking, but it was basically sufficient for now. More could be added slowly later.

Unlike the cheap slaves that could be bought at the market, these thirty were all high-grade slaves. According to convention, after high-grade slaves were sold to their master, a scroll sold by the Mage Guild would be used to implant a curse in them.

This curse, how to put it, is somewhat similar to the gu poison in Earth's martial arts novels. Once implanted, the scroll is held by the master. If they try to escape or act against their master, he only needs to tear the scroll, and they will die a miserable death due to the magic.

Of course, these scrolls don't come cheap, so they are only used on high-grade slaves. Moreover, they are not omnipotent. For example, for mages or warriors with battle aura, this curse is useless. That's why the snake clan girl had put the guards on edge, and no curse was used on her—because it wouldn't work.

Originally, Xu Feng wasn't keen on such a practice, but as the saying goes, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." Since he had come to Hailanxing, he must integrate into its customs. Moreover, Xu Feng had no intention of being a savior. Life is short, enjoy it while you can. Enjoyment is the best.

Besides, these girls didn't know him yet. They didn't know that he was a kind master. As long as they were obedient, he wouldn't think of them as slaves. Well, their future life would be far happier than they imagined.

But they didn't know this now. If they ran away, wouldn't his money go down the drain? So, Xu Feng didn't object to implanting the curse. After all, he wouldn't use it; it was just to deter them, to keep them from sneaking away.

Looking at the sky, the sun was beginning to set.

"Xiuer, are you tired?"

The girl shook her head, covering her mouth with a smile. "Young Master, you're such a lech. You've built a kingdom of women."

Xu Feng was speechless. This girl was getting bolder and bolder, daring to tease him. He pretended to scowl. "You naughty girl, asking for a spanking."

As he raised his hand threateningly, Xiuer naturally knew the young master was just scaring her, but she quickly clung to Xu Feng's arm. "Young Master, Xiuer was wrong. I won't dare again."

"Hmm, mistakes must be punished. Come, give the young master a kiss."

The girl's face flushed, but she still stood on her tiptoes and offered a fragrant kiss. Kissing the girl's soft lips, Xu Feng's heart filled with joy. Compared to when they first met, Xiuer had become much more cheerful and lively, even daring to joke with him from time to time.

This was a very good sign. I mean, coming from Earth, Xu Feng's view of love was completely different from that of Hailanxing's nobility. A girl's beautiful body was certainly captivating, but love—love involved not just desire but also mutual affection, care for each other, and spiritual pleasure.

Xu Feng hoped all his women could live happily, not just in the boudoir, submitting to his desires. Like Xiuer now, cheerful and lively—well, she was even more beautiful than before.

He borrowed a few carriages from Nasim, and Xu Feng and Xiuer brought the newly bought maids back to the manor. The sky was dark, just in time for dinner. It was too late to cook now, and his stomach was growling. Xu Feng took out some gold coins and instructed a few maids to order delivery from the dining district, specifically mentioning Shiweixuan. They had eaten there at noon, and frankly, the cooking skills were quite appealing.

"Yes, Young Master."

Seeing Xu Feng's gentle attitude, whether it was the barbarian girls or those former noble girls, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, everything about them now—their bodies, their lives—was in Xu Feng's hands. Of course, they hoped the master had a good temper. It seemed now that heaven had favored them.

Xu Feng didn't say much to them. Time would allow them to slowly understand each other. They would come to know that he was a good master. Xu Feng also had confidence in winning their loyalty, not relying on the curse.

Soon, the food was brought back. Xu Feng picked a few exquisite dishes and went to the inner courtyard to enjoy them slowly, of course, with Xiuer. He also called the twin sisters. As for the other maids, he let them eat on their own. In short, he neither gave them any tasks nor made any other arrangements.

With uneasy hearts, Laimor and Feimo followed behind Xu Feng, their hearts pounding like drums. These poor girls of noble blood were no longer a count's daughters but reduced to being someone else's slaves. Life was like a chess game, and fate's twists and turns were truly lamentable.

"Sister."

Laimor's expression looked delicate and pitiable. So late at night, the master was taking her and her sister to the inner courtyard. Could it be that he wanted to...

Two blushes spread across the girls' faces, filled with both shyness and nervousness. But their fate now was no longer something they could control.

In their anxiety, they arrived at the inner courtyard. Red candles were lit, and the table was laden with exquisite dishes, emitting tempting aromas.

The room was very quiet. Xu Feng could even hear the twin beauties swallowing hard. After all, they were once the daughters of a count. For seventeen years, they lived in luxury. But over the past month, they had fallen from heaven to hell. Slaves, even high-grade ones, only got cold steamed buns to eat every day.

Xu Feng sighed, a wave of pity rising in his heart. "You two, sit down too!"

Nothing but surprise. The two beautiful girls from noble backgrounds were naturally clear about the rules of high society. How could maids sit at the same table as their master? Although the aroma of the food was incredibly tempting, they still shook their heads.

"Two sisters, please sit."

As the saying goes, misery loves company. When Xiuer was first given to Xu Feng, her heart was also filled with fear, let alone these two who were once a count's daughters. Putting herself in their shoes, Xiuer could understand the girls' uneasy feelings. "Don't worry. The young master is very kind. He is the kindest, best noble in this world. As long as you are obedient, your future days will be very happy."

"Young Master?"

The two girls looked at each other, their eyes showing surprise. Originally, seeing Xiuer's attire and Xu Feng's gentle care for her, they thought this stunning woman was some noble's daughter, Xu Feng's beloved. Who would have thought... she was also a maid?

Unbelievable. Growing up in noble families, they had been influenced since childhood. Those noble men only cared about women's bodies. Maids with even slight beauty were seen as playthings. How could anyone be so gentle and caring toward a maid?

"It's true. The young master is completely different from those nobles. Over time, you will slowly understand."

Perhaps because they were all girls, words between them were more persuasive. Under Xiuer's soft comfort, the sisters' tension gradually eased a bit. They curtsied to Xu Feng and then sat down on the stools.

"Eat."

Seeing Xu Feng and Xiuer had already started eating, the twin beauties picked up their chopsticks. Although for the past month, they had been gnawing on cold steamed buns, and the aroma of the food before them was incredibly tempting, their good upbringing from childhood still made them maintain elegant dining postures—unhurried, taking small bites and chewing slowly. Hmm, people say a beauty's spring sleep is pleasing to the eye, but pretty girls eating are also very adorable.
