âIâm very sorry that I wasnât able to find you a suitable maid. Thatâs because⦠Nobody was willing to
come,â Dory said.
âEhh..?â Alex Rockefeller was stunned for a moment.
Come to think of it, he had never offered a price or anything. That, however, wasnât important. At the
current rate of recovery, his legs would be grown entirely in another three days.
After that, Dory took out a storage purse and started pulling out stuff one at a time.
âHere are some vegetables.â
âHere are some clothes for you and your daughter too.â
âHereâs some milk powder. Itâs all untainted, nutritious milk powder from demon beasts that are level
three and above! I also brought you diapers!â
âAlso, guess what else I brought you?â Dory added.
Alex looked at how Dory pulled out stuff as if she were offering him treasures. He found it a little funny.
âWhat is it?â Alex asked.
âLook!â Dory took something out. It was actually a wheelchair. Moreover, it was powered by spiritual
power.
âYour legs were chopped off, and itâs inconvenient for you to walk. This is the most compatible chair for
you. Itâs made by Sky Tower, a famous brand, and it cost me nearly five hundred spiritual stones! Man,
I spent all my savings!â Dory exclaimed.
Alex held it and examined it for a while before sitting on it. âThatâs very kind of you. Thank you,â he
said.
Dory was a petite person at around 160 centimeters in height. She was also relatively young. Alex
reckoned she was at most twenty years old. With very attractive facial features, her small face
resembled the faces of current internet celebrities.
She had a great body, though. Her upper body seemed to have clearly received a little too much
nutrition.
Right then, Alex looked at the unmistakable fingerprints on her face. âWhat happened to your face?â He
asked.
Questioned in such a way, Dory pouted sadly. âDonât bring it up anymore. Uncle Kavan snatched away
the seven rejuvenation pills you gave me. I didnât want to give them to him, and for that, l was slapped!â
âHuh?â gasped Alex.
âBut thankfully, Ms. Khloe said she would compensate me with spiritual stones at market price,â Dory
said.
Alex raised his brows slightly.
Dory and Khloe Yggdrasill didnât recognize his pills. However, Alex was very clear that those werenât
rejuvenation pills at all. He intentionally shrunk the size of the major rejuvenation pills when he was
making them, convenient for the consumption of those without high cultivation.
Meanwhile, the price of major rejuvenation pills was significantly higher than minor rejuvenation pills.
After that, Dory said she couldnât find any maids today. She could only continue searching tomorrow.
Coincidentally, she didnât have anything else to do and thus, stayed here to cook for Alex
Soon, Dory prepared three dishes and a soup. The food looked, smelled, and tasted good.
âDory, I didnât think you were that capable!â Alex said.
âLetâs eat together!â he added with a smile.
âSure, donât mind if I do!â Dory replied.
Being a maid, Dory usually lived a careful and restricted life in the presence of the Yggdrasill family.
However, in front of an ordinary person without legs like Alex, she was able to act like herself. After
rubbing her hands on her body, she laughed. âYouâre in luck today. This fish is a spiritual tiger-striped
carp that Old Yuron just caught from Clearwater Lake. Itâs delicious. Normally, I would be reluctant to
buy it.â
âIs it very expensive?â Alex asked.
âEach one costs twenty spiritual stones,â Dory answered.
âDoes that mean youâve gone all out for a feast today?â Alex asked.
âTsk. Indeed, I have. Iâve spent all the money Iâve earned in recent years on you,â Dory said.
Alex laughed. âHow about this? Quit working for the Yggdrasill family and work for me instead. Iâll pay
you a thousand spiritual stones every month.â
âA thousand a month? Are you for real?â Doryâs eyes became wide open.
âOf course,â Alex said.
âI would very much like to accept your offer, but⦠Iâve been sold as a maid to the Yggdrasill family. I
canât leave.â Dory shook her head.
Right then, two people barged right into the house. They were none other than Khloe Yggdrasill and
her second uncle, Kavan Yggdrasill.
Kavan glanced at the legless Alex and even saw that he didnât have any cultivation at all. At first, Kavan
wanted to be polite with Alex. Now, he directly lost interest, and his gaze became incomparably
disdainful. âDo you want this maid? No problem. I can give her to you, but I must find out where your
major rejuvenation pills truly came from.â
