1157 Words
Su Yuno was frightened by the scene. She backed towards the door in a panic. At this moment, her eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Lu Ming. "Mr. Lu... what have you done to them... why are they like this?" "I... I always thought you were a good person... I didn't expect... you to be like this?" Lu Ming looked at Su Yuno expressionlessly and said calmly, "Su Yuno, if I were a bad person, do you think I'd let you go?" Su Yuno took a few steps back in fear, "What... do you want?" Lu Ming sighed and said, "I'll say it one last time. I just want to save you..." "That day, we were ambushed in the alley... I found out it was Huang Mengde's doing!" "Think about it, with this heavy snow, the campus will be sealed. Food will become scarce..." "And then? Without the law's constraints, what will you girls face? Do you think Huang Mengde will spare you?" Su Yuno couldn't find words to respond. Although she didn't fully believe Lu Ming's words, what if he was right?
Lu Ming raised his hand and took out a serving of braised beef from the void, still steaming. With another wave of his hand, the beef disappeared. "What is this... a magic trick?" Su Yuno asked in a daze. "Heh... this is my spatial ability. I'm a superhuman." Lu Ming pointed around, "This apocalyptic safe house is like spring all year round. No matter how the environment changes outside, it won't affect here." "And my space is filled with a large amount of food and supplies... become my maid, and you can survive." Su Yuno was almost convinced by Lu Ming's words, but she still couldn't agree. "Can't you just say you want to date me... why use this maid thing... it sounds so strange." Lu Ming's expression turned cold, "Su Yuno, I've been polite enough to explain so much to you! Don't push your luck; no one here will pamper you." Su Yuno's eyes reddened at Lu Ming's harsh tone. She already had a good impression of Lu Ming, and with his display of abilities and description of the apocalypse, she was willing to stay with him. She just couldn't get over that mental hurdle. "Don't be so harsh... I... I've never been in a relationship... can't we just date normally?" Lu Ming snorted and pointed to the three stunning beauties kneeling on the floor, "Is being a virgin so great? Which of these three wasn't a virgin?" "And now they're obediently serving as my maids. Do you think you're special?" Su Yuno bit her lip, "I'd rather die... than be someone's slave!" Lu Ming waved his hand dismissively, "I have a rule: I won't force women. If you don't want to, then leave." Indeed, Su Yuno looked pitiful and endearing at the moment. But Lu Ming was unmoved. The apocalyptic crisis was looming, and enhancing his power was the priority. He had no time for a romantic relationship with some innocent campus beauty. Stay or leave, it was that simple. In fact, if Lu Ming were more ruthless, he wouldn't let Su Yuno leave. Not submitting? Then die! Knowing the secret of his abilities and letting her go was a potential risk... This was a basic quality an apocalyptic protagonist should have. In this regard, Lu Ming still had room to improve. Su Yuno wiped her tears and turned to leave. "Yuno!" Lin Jiayu called out urgently, "Wait!" Lin Jiayu looked at Lu Ming with pleading eyes, "Master, please show mercy. Give me some time, and I'll persuade Yuno." Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, didn't speak, but didn't refuse either. Lin Jiayu bit her lip and grabbed the retreating Su Yuno. "Yuno, come with me. I have something to tell you." With that, Lin Jiayu led Su Yuno into her room.
At this moment, both Li Mengran and Zhang Qianqian, kneeling on the floor, were very nervous... They could tell Lu Ming was a bit angry. Li Mengran sighed softly... "Master has already given Su Yuno a lot of face by explaining so much to her." "But she still doesn't know her place, wanting to date Master... she's really overestimating herself..." Zhang Qianqian knew Lu Ming was in a bad mood. She knelt in front of him, gently rubbing her head against his leg. Like a docile cat, she cautiously tried to please her master. "That Su Yuno is really strange..." Zhang Qianqian thought to herself, "Being Master's maid is such a happy thing! How could she not want that?" She blushed, thinking of how Lu Ming had transferred energy to her, activating her beauty potential. Lin Jiayu took Su Yuno to the room. She looked at Su Yuno earnestly, "Yuno, this might be your last chance." "It's minus ten degrees outside now. In two days, will it be minus thirty or minus fifty?" "When you regret it and Huang Mengde bullies you, will it be too late to think of Master then?" Su Yuno's eyes reddened, "But I'm still a virgin... I... I want a proper relationship." Lin Jiayu sighed, "It's precisely because you're a virgin that it's valuable, silly girl!" "If Huang Mengde ruins you at school, do you think Master will still want you?" "I gave my virginity to Master, but I'm not sad or regretful! I'm happy every day!" "I'm so lucky to have met Master and given my first time to him... Do you understand this happiness?" Su Yuno asked softly, "But Teacher Lin, isn't it humiliating to kneel in front of Lu Ming dressed like that? Why be his maid?" Lin Jiayu patted Su Yuno's head gently, "Silly girl, what's wrong with being Master's maid..." "There's no need to worry about food or clothing, and we even have the chance to awaken abilities and become strong!" "Moreover, we're all willingly serving Master. We feel no humiliation, only happiness in our hearts!" "Yuno, you know I'm a university teacher. Master's other two maids? One is the CEO of a billion-dollar group, and the other is a sales manager with a million-dollar salary..." "Think about it! If Master weren't so outstanding, would we three beauties willingly kneel at his feet?" Su Yuno didn't know what to say. She whispered, "But... but..." "There's no but. Go kneel before Master now." Lin Jiayu looked at Su Yuno seriously, "This might be your last chance to survive." Su Yuno saw the fervent expression on Lin Jiayu's face when she talked about Lu Ming and felt moved. Teacher Lin was such a proud woman at school, yet she was willing to submit to Lu Ming... it must be because she was very happy with him... Considering the situation, maybe the apocalypse was really coming... At least, I don't dislike Lu Ming. At least, it's very safe here... After a mental struggle, Su Yuno finally nodded slowly, "Okay... I understand..."
