426 The Consolidating Viscera Methods (1/2)
Chief Valencia had informed them that they would be serving a different master, but they did not know why the chief would just give them away like this. However, they seemed to have faintly guessed something after seeing Darlene close to their new master.
”There's plenty of rooms, so feel free to go help your sisters settle down. I will be meditating for a bit.” Leon said to Darlene.
”Alright.”
After Darlene nodded, Leon entered his room and closed the door before sitting on the bed and sending his consciousness into the [Archive].
Outside, the six female servants gazed at Darlene with doubt and suspicions. She was not the same person she was before. There was a subtle yet confident aura surrounding her.
”Do you know what is going on, Darlene? Why did the chief give us to Young Master Leonhardt? Was this really your doing?” One of the pretty female servants asked.
”That's right.” Darlene admitted, ”I wanted for us to be together again, so I mentioned my wish to Young Master Leonhardt—”
”How can you do that to us, Darlene? I thought we were close like sisters.”
”Yeah! We were doing just fine, serving under Chief Valencia. Why did you drag us down with you?”
The female servants began accusing her with a look of betrayal.
”I didn't—” Darlene wanted to correct them, but she was interrupted.
”The Young Master also secretly look down on useless people like us who cannot cultivate, right? Everyone is like that!”
”What has the Young Master done to you? Does he treat you like a plaything? Is he going force himself on us and shame us like that too?”
”You're no longer chaste, are you? Ah, why did you do this to us, Darlene? Just why?”
”We are already lowly servants. We don't have anything except our beauty and chastity. If we lose our chastity, who would still want us? How can we still hope to find our future man, who would treat us right?”
”What was it like, Darlene? Was the Young Master rough? Did he ravage you like an animal?”
The female servants continued to question her with despairing looks. Darlene wanted to interrupt them several times, but she was not given a chance.
Although she understood the reason for their misunderstanding, she still did not like to hear them bad-mouthing her hubby. It made her frustrated and angry.
”That is enough, everyone! You're all overthinking it! It's not like that!” Darlene shouted angrily.
At the same time, the space around her began to warp and twist out of shapes. On the ground, the twigs were seen snapping, and the peddles cracking.
The six female servants all retreated in fear and stared at Darlene in shock and incomprehensibility of the phenomenon.
”Darlene… what was that just now? Did you do that?” One of the female servants asked.
Darlene nodded and said, ”This is the result of Young Master Leonhardt teaching me how to cultivate. People with the Void Body like us are able to cultivate, and we are definitely not useless!”
The six female servants stare at Darlene with wide eyes, shocked and dumbfounded by the revelation. It seemed to have shattered their belief regarding people plagued with Void Bodies.
”I guess you have been holed up in the palace and have not heard the rumors spreading around the tribe. Everyone is talking about it now. You would know if you just go around and ask them about it.” Darlene said to them.
”…Can you show us again, Darlene?” A female servant called Tia asked expectantly with a gulping expression.
”Alright.”
Darlene quickly agreed.
After a few rounds of demonstrating the spatial ability, the six female servants concluded that Darlene's power was real—that their eyes were not playing tricks on them. The realization made them stare at Darlene in awe.
Seeing the shock and awe in her sisters' eyes, Darlene felt jittery and excited inside. She was filled with a sense of satisfaction and became smug.
”What kind of ability is this? How are you doing it, Darlene? What does it feel like? Will the Young Master also teach how to use this ability?” Another female servant inquired with excitement. Her name was Chana.
The other female servants also looked at Darlene eagerly, awaiting her answer. The previous apprehension in their heart was burned away by a fiery hope for the future—the future of cultivating!
Darlene curled her lips with amusement before saying, ”According to Young Master Leonhardt, this spatial ability is supposedly inherent in people like us—people who possess the Void Body. This power lies dormant in all of us. We just must look inside ourselves and tap into it. It won't work if you do not believe in yourself.”
