章節 13: Hiring Gone Wrong

"Give you a job? Who do you think you are to demand one from me?" Yiman said with a scoff, making Nadia's face go red in anger, "Then what kind of useless king are you?"

Yiman snickered as he said, "No need to provoke me. Don't forget you are a maid. So as a king, why would I do favors for a mere maid for no reason? If you have the skill, then go and ask those in charge of the various duties in the palace for a job. If they give you one, then all well and good. But I am confident they will definitely give you one since even a child can do these ordinary jobs. You may even feel free to try outside also if you think things are uncomfortable in the palace."

Nadia felt like wiping the smirk off his face as she saw him go out. But in the end, she knew she couldn't make him give her a job, though hearing his words, she felt that maybe getting a palace job isn't that tough.

However, the fact that a powerful cultivator like her now had to stoop to even thinking about doing such lowly jobs made her nerves crawl. If she had her cultivation unsealed, she could have still taken up reputable jobs like being an Elder at some sect, or, just like before, running her own sect.

But all of those were ruined the moment this man entered her life. She was sure he must have leaked out her information to the Soulstar Kingdom to corner her.

And with these resentful thoughts, Nadia decided to make her way to the kitchen to see if she could take up some cooking jobs.

Since she always cooked for Lucas, she had some experience in that field and was confident about her skills.

In the kitchen hall, all the servants and maids were surprised upon seeing such an otherworldly beauty blessing them with her presence.

Not even in their dreams did they imagine that such a pure and flawless stunning beauty would walk through a lowly place like this.

Her pearl-like blue eyes were seemingly penetrating their souls with just a gaze while the male servants shuddered upon feeling the intensity behind her eyes. It was obvious that this woman had killed a lot, and she was not one to be messed with.

However, they had no idea who this woman was, but then they remembered that their king brought in a new maid who was breathtakingly beautiful and wanted to make her his queen in name for fun.

They wondered if this woman was that same person since otherwise, nobody like her would ever walk through here.

Suddenly, a scrawny man looking in his late forties came out of an office room, and based on his clothes, it seemed as if he was the head chef.

His face was below average, with a large black mole on his cheek, and the moment he saw Nadia, his eyes widened as they shone with a certain light.

"Nadia, is it? What an honor to meet you. I am Pito, the chef. The rumors about your beauty being no short of a goddess surely don't seem exaggerated now that I am seeing you personally," Pito said as he blatantly scanned her body from top to toe, admiring her sexy curves, especially her large bosom and thin waist.

Nadia felt like cutting his head off for desecrating her not only with his words but also with his gaze, but then she remembered that she was no longer the matriarch where she could punish random people for disrespecting her.

Instead, she now had to act as if she didn't notice anything for the sake of getting a lowly job.

Still, she didn't lower herself to act friendly but instead crossed her arms and said in a commanding tone, "I heard you needed someone in the kitchen. I can cook well enough. So I want you to hire me."

Pito narrowed his eyes, seeing the way she was talking to him despite being a mere maid. Of course, she was once a grand matriarch, but what use was that now that she had lost everything?

She indeed had unrivaled beauty, but beauty alone cannot warrant power. Instead, beauty alone can only bring more trouble.

'Time to make this beautiful maid know her place,' Pito inwardly licked his lips though on the outside, he put up an amiable smile and said, "Of course. There is a small test for you to take just to get an idea of your skills, but I am 100% confident that someone as beautiful and skilled as you can pass it. So, follow me."

Nadia felt that something was off with this guy, but since this was still an open place, she thought that he wouldn't dare to try anything.

Pito led her to a corner where there weren't any maids or servants nearby and pointed to a bunch of vegetables and a knife kept on the table, "Here. Why don't you show me how good you are with your hands at cutting these? Of course, we could always hire people with cultivation to do these kinds of jobs easier, but we still believe in cutting costs and having more human hands involved."

Nadia nodded as she picked up the knife and began to cut the vegetables in a very precise and perfect manner to the point anybody would feel astonished.

However, Pito was not at all looking at what she was doing, but instead, he was standing beside her while eyeing her big round buttocks that were slightly sticking out from underneath her gown.

A lascivious glint shone in his eyes as he suddenly groped her buttocks firmly, making Nadia's eyes widen as she shouted with a sharp glare, "You dare!"

Pito's eyes widened when he saw that she stabbed his hand before he could realize it. That was how lightning-fast Nadia was despite having her cultivation sealed. Pito had no idea that this woman had trained for years and years in perfecting her sword skills to the point even experts would bow down to her in awe.

"AAAH!!! YOU BITCH!" Pito screamed in agony as the excruciating pain traveled along his arm and made him stumble back before falling to the floor.

"Hmph, someone like you dares to touch me? Next time you do that, I will cut off your head," Nadia said with a piercing glare before walking away with a snort, much to everyone's shock.

Pito gritted his teeth as he held his hand and stared at her slender back as he inwardly swore, 'Just you wait, bitch. If I don't teach you a lesson, then my name isn't Pito!'
