"If we fail to turn in a certain amount of vital energy crystals to the Sky Sect this time, our clan will be finished. We'll not only lose control over our mines but the powers of the Sky Sect might just kill us.
My mother was sick since we were born. My father brought Joyce and me up almost all by himself. Later, we moved to the Stone City and gained access to two mines which were the Sky Sect's property. We paid some vital energy crystals to the Sky Sect monthly while the rest we kept for ourselves. That's how our clan got where it is.
Dad has invested a lot in taking care of the business. If we can't get through this, our family will tear itself apart. This is too much for my father to bear. I hate to see him suffer.
Mr. Lin, I figured the only way to help my family is to pay back in kind—raid the Wei clan's mines just as they had raided ours.
But we are too weak to do this right now."
Michelle bit her lower lip, staring at Austin. Her eyes were misty. She sounded helpless and upset.
"I really hope you can help us out here. I know this is a rude request and it might put you in a lot of trouble. After all, the Wei clan must have kept lots of strong cultivators to guard their mines.
But I'm out of options. If we stand by and do nothing, our clan will soon disappear."
Austin's face expressed displeasure. 'It turns out she broke into my room earlier in the evening, to ask me to help her rob others. That's ridiculous!" he thought.
"Mr. Lin, I know you must be finding it too much to make sense of,"
Michelle said in a low voice, noting that Austin looked upset.
"If you can help us through this, I will serve you! I will become your maid and
I will be yours!"
Keeping her eyes on Austin, Michelle took a deep breath. Then, she untied the belt of her dress slowly. The dress dropped from her body and she stood naked in front of him.
'What's all this?' Austin wondered shocked. He hadn't noticed that he had stopped breathing.
His eyes almost popped out. Blood gushed out from his nostrils. He gaped at her perfect nude body, dumbfounded and marvelling at her.
Michelle was tall and slender, and had a curvy figure. Her skin was fair, smooth and creamy. And her plump breasts made it hard for Austin to look elsewhere.
"Miche... Miche... What's wrong with my nose? Why it is it bleeding?"
Austin wiped the blood under his nose off hurriedly.
His ears had turned red in embarrassment. Clearing his throat, he explained, "Maybe I've had too much spicy food. That's why it's bleeding."
Austin had to admit that she was an irresistible temptation to any man.
But he wasn't someone who would take advantage of a girl. Drawing a deep breath, he managed to control his urge and struggled to take his keen eyes off her.
"Miss Meng, could you...stop acting like this?" he requested. He was torn apart and yet he knew his righteousness must lead the way.
As soon as he finished his words, he heard sobs. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked at Michelle's face.
She fluttered her long eyelashes, tears coursing down her soft, red cheeks.
"Mr. Lin, I know you might be despising me.
But I don't have any other choice. If you can do us this favor, I'll do anything to return your kindness."
Her voice was full of despair and helplessness.
Seeing Michelle crying melted his heart.
He quickly grabbed a blanket from his bed. Without saying a word, he wrapped it around her body. Although many men would have definitely coveted her body, he wasn't going to be driven by lust.
He then stood some distance from Michelle. Staring at her, he let out a wry smile and said, "Miss Meng, how could I refuse your request after what you have done all this while for me?
Fine. I'll try my best to help you through this."
He smiled gently, relaxing her.
"Really? Are you really going to help us, Mr. Lin?"
Michelle asked, overjoyed.
"Yes, I will. Um... Could you just put on your clothes first?"
Austin said gingerly, his voice laced with uneasiness.
"Mr. Lin, I'm so glad to hear that.
With your help, I'm sure our clan can get through this," she gushed. Her eyes widened in delight.
She held the blanket to make sure it would not fall on the ground. Although the thin quilt covered her body, her alluring hour-glass figure couldn't be hidden. At the thought of beautiful body under the quilt, Austin swallowed his saliva. Under this circumstance, it was a torment for him to talk to her.
Austin's face turned red like a tomato, and he reminded her again with a gentle cough, "Um, Miss Meng, could you get dressed?
I can't focus."
Michelle giggled at the sight of the sheepish lad.
