THE RISE OF THE DEMON ALCHEMIST
Chapter 05's

This morning was so crowded, the servants walked back and forth so noisily that they woke She Xia from her dream

"Gosh, why so much noise? Were the servants fed corn to chirp continuously from earlier, huh my beautiful dream became disturbed" She Xia snorted while sitting in her contest

"Is She Xia awake?" there was a voice of a man in front of She Xia's room

"Sorry general, young lady is still sleeping" Lien replied. Jun Jiang tried to open She Xia's room, but unfortunately her door was locked from the inside

"Did She Xia always lock her bedroom door every sleep?" asked Jun Jiang

"real general. Miss doesn't like anyone interrupting her sleep. So she'll lock her up from the inside" this time Lily answered

"Alright, tell She Xia that if she wakes up, I will return to the border" Jun Jiang said as he stepped away from She Xia's room

"Good general" Lien and Lily answered compactly

while She Xia who was listening to their conversation from inside the room grumbled while re-spreading her body

"What does it have to do with me if he wants to go back to the border? After all why is she saying goodbye to the point of disturbing my pretty sleep? You cockroach bullies. Huh.." She Xia snorted

"Three more days I'm going to the demon forest. Are there a lot of strange creatures like in the movies? Hopefully not, lest I meet genduruwo, ngesot, tuyul, pocong, kuntilanak, sundel bolong. Iiiyy" She Xia shuddered after imagining the forms of subtle creatures that used to be seen on television

"Lien, Lily.." call She Xia to open the door.

"Yes, do you want some water to take a shower now?" ask Lien

"Umm, don't forget to mix the jasmine fragrance in my bath water" She Xia said

"Well miss" lien went to prepare water and also fragrances for She Xia's needs

"Has the bully's cockroach gone?" she Xia asked the loyal Lily standing there

"What do you mean, General?" ask Lily

"Umm who else if not him!" She Xia also showed her ugly face

"The general has left, miss." replied Lily

"Good, so I no longer need to look at the PPB's face" She Xia replied

"What is PPB miss?"

"Ups" Lily shut her mouth with her palm holding back a laugh

"Would you like to have breakfast ready now?" ask lily

"Yes. I want breakfast in the garden gazebo after cleaning myself"

"Alright lady, I'll be ready soon" Lily said as she stepped away from She Xia towards the kitchen

soon Lien came and told her that the bath water was ready. She Xia immediately went to the bath to clean herself up. While submerging her body in the tub, She Xia closed her eyes enjoying the jasmine sensation that entered through her sense of smell

"Repeat this jasmine really fresh" he murmured later.

30 Minutes passed, She Xia had already stepped out of the bath and was wearing her plain hanfu. Walking out of the room accompanied Lien who was always tailing behind her. She Xia looked around, his eyes squinting at a man who just kept watching his movements from earlier.

"Lien, who is he?" she Xia asked while pointing with her head

"That's An Ming miss, general Jun Jiang's confidant" Lien said

"Owh, it turns out that the cockroach keeps a lizard in this residence. Basic bullies" She Xia snorted

"Miss, since when can cockroaches keep lizards?" ask plain lien

"The lizard means a spy, and the cockroach is a bully." She xia said. Finally, Lien nodded, she understood that what the bully meant by her miss was jun jiang who was called a cockroach while her lizard was an ming, who was deliberately left to spy on She Xia.

"Miss, the food is ready" Lily walked over to She Xia

"Alright, let's eat" She Xia invited her two maids over to eat together. The other servants were many who were envious at the way she xia treated her servant. But there was also a servant who sneered at She Xia, for feeling She Xia did not deserve to be a young miss.

She xia who unintentionally heard the servant sneer immediately called out to him

"You, here." call She Xia to the waiter

"I'm Miss" the waiter faced

"Is the work in this residence too little to the point that you gossip early in the morning?" she xia asked

"No miss, the work in this residence is very much" the maid replied again

"Good then, so flies like you don't have to swarm around here, because this place is clean there's no dirt. I don't like to hear flies buzzing in my ears, go and finish your job before your eyes roll on the ground" She Xia ordered as her scorn slid off unhindered
