Chapter 766

Serathis glanced at her best friend with mild surprise, surprised she was so perceptive.

She curled her lips slightly, revealing a knowing smile, and lowered her voice to advise: “You’re clever. Remember, before the Crown, there are only four words that matter: absolute obedience. Whatever the Crown demands, whatever he prefers, you obey—no questions, no defiance. Understood?”

Lelana’s eyes lit up; she nodded firmly, already formulating a plan.

Soon, over a dozen carefully selected maids arrived at Li Chen’s residence.

Adding the three mature female servants who had already served him, the spacious villa now held twenty half-elf women, each with her own distinct allure.

If anyone in the family learned of this spectacle, even Clan Lord Lothema would face severe reprimand—or even impeachment.

The half-elves inherited part of the elves’ emotional traditions, valuing pure, devoted love; to love but one person in a lifetime was a creed etched into their bones.

Thus Lothema kept his lovers hidden, indulging only in secret, late-night solitude, terrified of even a whisper leaking out.

But Li Chen was utterly different.

As the supreme heir of the elf king’s bloodline, not even twenty maids would draw criticism—two hundred would be equally unremarkable.

To his clansmen, he had long transcended mortal norms; these women were merely tending to his daily needs.

Even several Elders had voluntarily sent their own wives, certain such a man could never be moved by ordinary mortal women.

But Li Chen was no polite gentleman! They were handed to him on a platter—why not take them?

Morning sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices into the bedchamber; Li Chen lazily opened his eyes to find over a dozen new maids before him.

They wore uniform black-and-white maid outfits, from mature, alluring matrons to shy, delicate maidens—all with flawless curves and full bosoms.

Serathis truly understood him; every one of these women was a masterpiece.

Watching their still-dazed expressions, Li Chen’s lips curled into a playful smile.

The process of “guiding” them from scratch was the most enticing.

Especially since most had once been noble ladies or delicate young girls who had never served as maids—so naive.

Yet it was precisely this naivety that Li Chen adored; he could mold them into whatever shape he desired.

And they knew: from today onward, they were responsible for his daily routines.

Especially dressing him and putting on his boots—must be done with utmost care.

Li Chen deliberately assigned these two most intimate tasks to the new maids, aiming to slowly break down their defenses.

While dressing him, a girl with honey-blonde hair timidly fastened his robe ties, her fingers trembling slightly.

Li Chen deliberately raised his hand, his knuckles brushing unintentionally against her full breast; the girl’s ears flushed crimson, yet she dared not pull away, only lowering her head further.

“Well done,” Li Chen chuckled in praise, satisfied to see her neck blush deep red.

At midday, Li Chen lounged on a soft couch in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

The three earliest favored mature female servants immediately clustered around him: one knelt behind him, her slender fingers gently massaging his temples;

one crouched beside his legs, kneading his calves with perfect pressure; another lifted his foot, meticulously massaging each toe.

“Mmm!” Li Chen sighed in pleasure, closing his eyes to savor the ultimate service.

Other maids stood nearby, some holding crystal trays of fresh fruit, others bearing freshly brewed flower tea, still others fanning him gently.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows across their lovely faces and graceful figures.

“My Lord, please enjoy your tea,” Melanis stepped forward, holding the teacup with elegant poise.

Today she wore a tailored maid’s outfit that accentuated her voluptuous curves while maintaining just the right distance.

Li Chen sipped from the cup she offered, his gaze lingering a moment on her gentle, bashful oval face.

The Clan Lord’s most cherished beauty—indeed, she had a unique flavor.

After lunch, Li Chen specifically summoned two of the new maidens to tidy his study.

Among the narrow bookshelves, he deliberately created physical contact, delighting in their blushing, helpless expressions.
