Number One Ugly Husband

20. He Obsesses the Madam in the Future (2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

The next morning, every slave knew that the “ugly slave” could make medicine and cure limped leg. The slave who didn’t know him began to notice about the information about “ugly slave”, while people who knew him wouldn’t believe that he could save people.

Bao Ye went to the Forest of Fallen on the morning of the day.

He still picked up the herb from the outer area of the forest, and the type of herb he picked remained the same. To get other types of herb, he need to enter the forest. But his time is limited, stepping into the forest was risking his time to fight with semi-monsters.

Bao Ye returned from the forest to have lunch, a deacon came to him and ordered, “Ugly slave, come to the office on tenth floor two o’clock this afternoon.”

“The office on tenth floor?” doubted Bao Ye.

“Since today, the owner will petrol the site every day, and you are the one who sever him. You must do anything he asks.”

Lao Liu and other colleagues looked at Bao Ye enviously.

This was a perfect chance to promote the slave rank. As long as the owner was satisfied, he might even be granted freedom.

Bao Ye pointed to his ugly face, “I’m afraid the owner will be frightened by my face.”

“If you frightened him, you will die.” The deacon snorted and turned around, murmuring, “How could such dumb of luck fall to him?”

Bao Ye was also confused. His face was so terrifying, how could him be assigned to serve the owner? Generally, the slave that served the owner directly should at least good-looking.

Lao Liu and other colleagues greeted Bao Ye immediately. If he behaved well beside the owner, he was even powerful than the deacon. But Bao Ye preferred to do cleaning than serving the capricious, moody owner, who would punish others at any time.

Two o’clock in the afternoon, Bao Ye arrived the tenth floor on time.

Every one worked on the tenth floor frowned on seeing him.

Bao Ye asked politely, “Distinguished deacons, could you please tell me which office is the owner’s?”

Someone pointed at the most further office in the aisle.

Bao Ye walked beside the office, wiped on his face to make sure that the pustules on his face were not bleeding, then knocked on the door.

The a crack of the door opened automatically.

Bao Ye opened the door and said, “Distinguished owner, I am ugly slave, could I come in now?”

“Hmm.” A giggle was mixed in his voice.

Praying the owner easy-going, Bao Ye walked into the office. On seeing the pretty face that blurred the boundary of gender, he shocked and uttered, “It’s you.”

That psychopath was the owner of this site?

No wonder why he thought his smile yesterday was strange. He had this card in the sleeve.

But in the ugly slave’s memory, the psychopath was not the one who the ugly slave sold out his big brother’s buddies to, either the one who assigned him to work here.

“You are the owner of this site?”

Dongling Ce lifted his lips, “Haven’t you know it yesterday?”

“Yesterday?” Bao Ye rolled his eyes at him, “I thought you were one of the guests.”

“It’s not too late to know it now.”

“Are you really the owner of the site? You are not the one who assigned me here.” Bao Ye asked doubtfully.

Dongling Ce leaned into the sofa leisurely, “My deacon knows him. There is no easy job in his area, so I asked my deacon to arrange you here.”

“All right, what do you want me to do? You really want me to serve you? Tell you the truth, I don’t know how to serve people.”

“You don’t need to. All you need is to water my flower and clean the room.”

Bao Ye stared at him suspiciously, “Really?”

“Is there any reason for me to cheat?”

Bao Ye didn’t believe this psychopath, “You can tackle with these with a small spell. Why do you need me to do these?”

“I like to see the work done by people’s hands.”

Bao Ye stared at him suspiciously for a while, then turned around to fetch the cleansing cloth and a bucket of water. Wiping the desk, Bao Ye looked at Dongling Ce and asked, “We’ve met so many times, but I don’t even know your family name.”

“Dongling Ce.” Dongling Ce looked at him, and looked at the red string bracelet on his wrist.

“Dongling is your family name?”

“Yep.”

Bao Ye was a little bit disappointed. He was not his father, where was his father?

“Over there.” Dongling Ce pointed at the bookcase.

Bao Ye washed the cleansing cloth in his hands to wipe the bookcase, when he finished cleaning one box of the bookcase, Dongling Ce asked him to clean the flower pot. Before he cleaned up the flower pot, Dongling Ce said the floor beneath his feet was dirty, and ordered Bao Ye to clean it up.

Bao Ye washed the cleansing cloth again and kneeled down to clean the floor, but the floor was not dirty at all.

When he decided to clean the floor anyway, a trace of teasing reflected in Dongling Ce’s eyes. Bao Ye suddenly understood, the psychopath was intended to do so, he wanted Bao Ye to kneel down before him.

He threw the cloth into the bucket with anger, rose up and cleared his throat. He spitted on his palms and rubbed them together, “Dear your majesty, your perfect hair was messed up a little, let me tidy it for you. You will become the incarnation of beauty and handsomeness again, who obsesses the madam in the future.”

Dongling Ce’s lips twitched. He grasped the hands reached for him, then he saw his bracelet casted a red shine.

Confusion flashed over his eyes, he raised his head and looked at Bao Ye.

“What?” Bao Ye was bewildered.

Dongling Ce let him go and walked outside the office. He closed the door, and the red glow of his bracelet dimmed.

He opened the door, the bracelet was lightened up with red glow again. He turned around and left the room once again.

Bao Ye thought him a kid playing the game of opening-closing the door. He walked in and out, out and in, nobody knew what was in his head.

When Dongling Ce entered the office for the last time, he walked in front of Bao Ye and stood still.

Bao Ye felt uncomfortable under his staring, “What are you looking at? My face is not disgusting now?”

“…” Dongling Ce raised his wrist wearing the bracelet, “Touch it.”

“Why?”

Dongling Ce grabbed his hand and put it on his bracelet, but the red glow dimmed.

Bao Ye poked on the bracelet, “why don’t you shine?”

Dongling Ce narrowed his eyes, “It may be out of the order. You can go out now.”

Bao Ye felt himself at the sea: he just began to clean the room, why he was asked to leave now?

He waited outside the office for half an hour, but Dongling Ce didn’t call him back. So he returned to the first floor.

Lao Liu was excited on seeing him, “Bao Ye, during the supper, come with me, I’ll take you to meet someone.”

“Who will you take me to meet?”

“You’ll know then.”

“But there is a rule that all the slave should return the dorm after supper? How could you take me out?”

“Easy, someone had told the Deacon Zhu and Lin about this, they won’t find fault with you.”

Bao Ye raised one side of his eyebrow. He never told Lao Liu and other colleagues in the sanity department that the deacon in charge of him was Deacon Zhu and Deacon Lin, but now Lao Liu clearly knew about it. It seemed that the people they were going to meet was not among the common people.

At the supper time, Lao Liu dragged Bao Ye out of the building without having the meal. They got on a red car and left the construction site.

The driver was a young woman, a scar of character “Li” on her face represented her a top slave. Her hair got several strand of red and yellow highlights, which distinguished her from the slaves Bao Ye had saw.

Bao Ye nudged Lao Liu’s hand, “Lao Liu, you are awesome, you’ve got a car, and a top slave driver!” asked Bao Ye tentatively in a low voice.

Lao Liu shied and explained, “I am an inferior slave, how could I get a car.”

“So this car is…”

“The driving woman is Sis Jing, the car belongs to her. My elder sister told her to pick me up.”

“Elder sister? You have a sister?”

Lao Liu nodded, “Yes, I also have a younger sister, they are both top slaves.”

“Thus, we are going to meet your elder sister. Why does she want to meet me?”

“Both of my sisters want to meet you. They live in the Mess District.”

The buildings in Mess district were half new and half old. This district resided the top slaves, who didn’t get an owner, or join other slave’s group. They were free from restriction, messed up together. They always fought with each other for tiny matters, and gathered to search life supplies.

As the car driving into the Mess District, Bao Ye immediately felt the tightening of the atmosphere. The district was divided by the road under their seats—the slaves on his left side were like a crowd of monsters and goblins, who was wearing colorful hair, flashy clothes. The inspiring Rock & Rolls were played loudly in the air.

They waved their bodies with the music. Some were playing mahjong or cards. The whole scene was such a mess.

While the slaves on the right side were all quiet. Some looked at the people across the road silently, some played with their weapon. They wore the same black uniform, even their fingernails were colored to black.

The people living on the two sides of the road seemed out of harmony, but they all looked at the same direction. Whenever a car passed by, all of them would stop to watch the car dumbly, until the car left their vision.

“Here is the Mess District?” Bao Ye asked curiously.

“Yes. Haven’t you come here before?”

“Nope. ” In the memory of the ugly slave, he had only heard about the Mess District, but he never came here. His big brother was not willing to take him to such disordered district, either.

“A good chance for you to walk around. We can’t come here afterwards, since we are inferior.”

The inferior slaves didn’t have freedom. They couldn’t go to certain places without the help of top slaves.

On this moment, Sis Jing hauled the car and said, “Here we are.”
