Silvia watched as the two men in black fought each other to the death. She still planned to let one go so they could report back. Whether they did or not was not up to her, nor did she care. She stood on her tree branch waiting for the two men to finally finish their fight but even after almost an hour and many wounds they did not seem close to death yet. “How stubborn….”

“You are just like your master.” A voice came from her side startling Silvia. This was the first time in her life that she had ever been snuck up on. She turned to see a young woman standing there with fiery eyes looking back at her. “Why are you staring at me like you have seen a ghost? You do realize just because of what you had originally planned to do I could have burnt your spider butt into ashes and scattered them in the wind.”

“This… I….” Silvia felt slightly afraid. The oppressive aura on this woman was something she could not withstand. She felt as if her whole body was being crushed.

The young woman snorted before releasing her pressure. If she did not at least punish this little girl once she would think she could walk all over her disciples. “Your mission is to protect Yuki and Nana. As an assassin, you were taught many skills right?”

“Ye… yes….” Silvia nodded nervously. She did not dare lie. She wondered just who this person was that her master knew. She felt that this woman was stronger than her own master!

“Good, you will be bound by soul contract to my two disciples. Since it is Kuro is who you are going against then to prove you will not harm my disciples in any way you will form soul contracts binding you to listen to their every command. But do not worry, they are good girls and would not order you around like a slave.” Elder Nishikawa’s deep gaze fell into Silvia’s eyes. For some reason, Silvia felt it was hard to resist this gaze.

But there was an issue. “But I already have a soul….” Before Silvia could finish what she was saying, Elder Nishikawa waved her hand, and a sharp pain was suddenly felt in Silvia’s body. Sweat began to drip from her forehead as she knelt down on the tree branch. She looked up in horror at Elder Nishikawa. Her soul contract with her master was just removed! 

“Your master already agreed to this. You do not need to worry. You can contact him one last time before following me. You should also thank me. Being with my two disciples will give you a chance to see what life is like outside of assassination. The world is cruel, so blood will always be spilled, but that does not mean you can not live life.” Elder Nishikawa patted the top of Silvia’s head. “From this moment on you will experience a new life. Embrace it. Your cultivation is not bad, so you will be able to protect my disciples well for the time being but soon they will out pace you. This is just life. But even still…. Walk by their sides and see the path they cut in through this world.” 

Elder Nishikawa placed her finger on the spot between Silvia’s eyes and injected a transformation technique into her mind. “With this, you can hide your body features. You will be my disciples’ maid. They just became inner sect disciples and are now allowed maids. So you came at a good time.”

It was evening when Yuki woke up curled up in Nana’s arms. They were both in the nude, but she was still very warm. She looked up at Nana’s peaceful sleeping face and then down at her own body, which was now covered in love bites, and smiled. Being marked by the person you love really made her feel joy. 

“Yuki! Nana!” Elder Nishikawa called out. It was getting close to show time so she wanted her disciples to be ready. 

Yuki rubbed her eyes as she slid out of Nana’s embrace. Nana was still dead asleep. Stretching her arms and yawning Yuki slipped out of bed and walked out into the main room. She did not even get dressed or more like she forgot to. When she came out to see not only her master standing there but also another girl, Yuki froze in place. She did not have her transformation technique on! She was currently in her original form!

The girl behind her had long black hair and wore a black robe. Her eyes stared wide-eyed at Yuki in shock, not because of her features, but because of all the love bites on her body! Silvia blushed. She wondered what she was getting herself into.

“Oh, ho? It seems Nana finally broke your walls down and got to taste. Not bad.” Elder Nishikawa was happy to see this. This meant their dual cultivation would be much smoother. She had wanted them to take their time but things had to speed up due to the tournament coming up. And the fact the girl just walked out naked like it was nothing.

“Let me go change!” Yuki’s whole body turned red as she quickly ran away. 

Elder Nishikawa chuckled as she watched the fox girl run away. “She will never stop being cute. As you can see, my disciples are not bad. They have things weighing them down but they are still making the most of life. From now on experience this new life with them.” 

Silvia was in a bind. She wondered if she was going to get eaten alive by these girls!
