“What?”
He Wanying’s mind went blank; she instinctively wanted to turn her face away to avoid Lu Sheng’s gaze, but that sentence pinned her to the spot.
Ever since she awakened the E-rank class masseur and was kicked out of the house by her father, her world felt as if it had been covered by a layer of gray haze; she drifted through her days in a daze like a delicate doll whose soul had been pulled out, and only information related to strength, classes, and becoming stronger still stirred a reaction in her.
So when Lu Sheng had just spoken of his desire to become stronger, she almost reflexively lifted her head and met Lu Sheng’s eyes of her own accord.
Right after that, she saw that streak of golden light in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
A cold and abrupt information box popped up right in the center of her vision.
『The other party used a Class Skill on you… Be My Son!』
『Do you agree?』
What is this?
He Wanying’s delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly, and in those beautiful eyes once praised as the brightest pearl of Lanjiang City there was now only a dazed absurdity.
Th-this… what kind of perverted skill name is this? Is this some new way to humiliate people?!
Her gaze instinctively swept toward the skill description.
『Once you agree, you will sign a master-servant contract with the other party, serving them as your master for life. The other party can decide your life or death at any moment.』
He Wanying: ???
A surge of icy humiliation shot up from the soles of her feet; why would she ever sign this?! This was sheer, naked trampling!
In her view, this was clearly a malicious illusion that Lu Sheng had fabricated by some despicable means just to humiliate her!
This was He Wanying’s first reaction upon seeing the prompt.
“Classmate Lu, you really don’t have to humiliate me like this…”
He Wanying spoke in a dry, trembling voice.
To her, Lu Sheng had done this purely to humiliate her, using some unknown method to create this extremely insulting skill panel.
Lu Sheng was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He had only wanted to give this former campus belle with outstanding aptitude a chance, a mutually beneficial deal… she would gain strength, and he would gain a servant.
But from He Wanying’s perspective, as a former heaven’s favored daughter once surrounded by adoration who had fallen overnight into the dust and sunk into a place of pleasure and shadows, she now had to endure a former classmate coming to her door and using words like “be my servant” to insult her…
“Humiliate you? You could say that!”
Once he understood this, an evil smile appeared on Lu Sheng’s face. “The weak are only fit to be humiliated by the strong!”
“You, please… please leave…”
He Wanying’s voice carried an uncontrollable sob, her fair cheeks flushed scarlet in an instant as if they were about to bleed, and her chest heaved violently beneath the thin uniform.
“Leave?” Lu Sheng let out a derisive laugh, leaned back lazily, then simply lay on his back on the massage bed and crossed one leg over the other.
“Come on, I’m a paying customer! I extended the time! I paid every last cent! If you’ve got the guts…” He dragged out the last word, his mocking gaze sliding over her trembling body. “Then just quit right now.”
“You!”
Hearing Lu Sheng’s shameless reply, He Wanying almost burst out cursing.
However, when she thought of her mother’s withered face on the hospital bed and the small back of her young sister walking into the school with a backpack on, all the fury about to erupt was instantly doused by a basin of ice water called reality, leaving only bitterness.
She… needed this job far too badly.
Star-Moon Massage Parlor was the top massage parlor in Lanjiang City.
If she were reported on her first day of work for refusing a customer’s request, she would definitely be kicked out. If she lost this sole source of income that brought in over 10,000 a month, where could she possibly go with her so-called exalted E-rank masseur class?
Was she really supposed to… sell herself to some fat, greasy tycoon? That man who called himself her father would absolutely keep his word and shut her out forever.
“…I…” She took a deep breath, as if using up all her strength to push her shattered pride back down piece by piece. “I was wrong… Lu… Lu Sheng… customer…”
“What did you just call me? Customers are God! Call me ‘God’!”
Lu Sheng’s voice allowed no argument, yet his eyes were already lazily drifting toward the clothing rack in the corner of the room that was hung with all kinds of outfits.
“Go change your clothes.”
“Huh?”
He Wanying suddenly froze, then saw Lu Sheng’s gaze flick toward the rack in the corner of the room.
Hanging on it were sets of brand-new clothes, each with a price marked beside it.
『Extra-short skirt JK student uniform: 100 yuan』
『Pure-yet-sultry stepmom uniform: 200 yuan』
『Black-stockings maid: 300 yuan』
…
“Th-this…”
He Wanying’s heart suddenly sank.
One of the features of Star-Moon Massage Parlor was that customers could pay to have a technician change into specified outfits and provide uniform-themed massage services.
“That one, the black-stockings maid. I like it.”
Lu Sheng’s voice was not loud, yet it lashed across He Wanying like a cold whip. Her face went pale as paper in a flash, her delicate body shook violently, and her steps turned hollow as she almost fell backward.
In the end, under Lu Sheng’s threatening gaze, He Wanying still walked slowly over to the rack; her fair, slender hands trembled as she picked up the black-stockings maid outfit he had chosen, then walked to the other side of the folding screen.
Behind the screen came the rustling sounds of changing clothes, and a graceful silhouette was faintly outlined on the screen as she bent over, lifted her legs, and stretched out her arms.
After a long moment, footsteps sounded and He Wanying walked out with her head lowered.
The black-and-white dress fit her surprisingly well, wrapping tightly around her shapely curves and outlining a slender waist that could not be encircled by one hand and full, rounded contours; her long, straight, well-proportioned jade-like legs glowed with a delicate, soft sheen under the suggestive lighting, their lines smooth and captivating.
Below that were over-the-knee black stockings that reached only to just above her knees, tightly sheathing those exquisitely sculpted, art-like jade feet, the slightly pointed toes betraying the tension in He Wanying’s heart at that moment.
“Tsk tsk, not bad! Really not bad!” Lu Sheng openly let his gaze roam up and down her as he gave a heartfelt sigh. “You really were the Lanjiang campus belle… how many boys’ dream girl were you?”
Yet this praise now sounded like the cruelest mockery, stabbing straight into He Wanying’s heart and making her already dim eyes lose the last trace of light.
She truly wanted to beat Lu Sheng up in a fit of fury and then walk out for good.
“Forget it. I’m already wearing it. Ever since I started working here, this body… hasn’t belonged to me for a long time, has it?”
From the moment her father had pushed her out the door and spat out “Trash like you, don’t come back,” her heart had already died.
When she heard the demand that she had to hand over 10,000 yuan every month, she had even entertained the thought of selling herself like a piece of merchandise.
Class was destiny!
As an E-rank masseur, her future had already been nailed down in this mire. While her youth still lasted, she might as well use this body to trade for a bit more life-saving money for her mother and sister…
That was her only value now.
“Since I’ve already decided to work in this line, what kind of customer won’t I end up meeting? Do I… still get to choose?”
Thinking of this, He Wanying wiped the tears from her eyes, and the lively, beautiful light in them faded into dullness.
She raised her hand and roughly wiped away the warm liquid seeping from the corners of her eyes, and those eyes that had once sparkled with lively smiles now held only the stillness and numbness of dead water.
“Come over here and step on my back first. My waist’s been sore from school lately.”
Lu Sheng rolled over to lie on his stomach, resting his chin on his folded arms, and signaled with his eyes toward her jade-like feet wrapped in alluring black stockings.
“I… I don’t know how…”
He Wanying’s voice tightened. Even though she had braced herself for the worst, this request still went beyond what she had expected. She had thought changing clothes would be the limit, yet Lu Sheng had actually made an even more outrageous demand.
“You can’t do this, you can’t do that… are you here to go to school or to learn your class?”
“If you don’t know how, can’t you learn? Are you planning to stay a bottom-rung masseur your whole life and never think about learning a few more tricks to improve yourself?”
“Where is the big campus belle He I knew in my heart, the one who was eager to learn and improve no matter what she did?”
After Lu Sheng’s righteous-sounding lecture, He Wanying bit her lip hard and climbed onto the bed as if accepting her fate; her cold, bonelessly soft jade feet wrapped in delicate black stockings cautiously and tentatively stepped onto Lu Sheng’s broad back.
He Wanying’s body was very light; although she was 1.7 meters tall, she weighed only a little over 90 jin.
Through the thin fabric, the soft soles of her feet transmitted a strange sensation, carrying the unique slight coolness and delicacy of a young girl.
“Mm… put some strength into it, a little lower… hiss… now a bit to the right… ohh…”
An hour passed, feeling as long as a century.
“C-customer… can we stop now?”
Supporting herself against the cold wall, He Wanying spoke weakly, her whole body covered in fragrant sweat as the thin maid outfit clung to her skin and outlined the drenched curves underneath; her legs were so sore and weak they could barely hold her up.
“Mm, not bad.” This time Lu Sheng had not fallen asleep; he sat up and stretched his muscles and bones, genuine satisfaction in his tone. Such a professional black-stockinged jade-feet service from a former campus belle really was… overwhelmingly good!
“Then, customer, I will take my leave…”
He Wanying wanted only to flee at once from this place where she had lost all her dignity and from this classmate who was like a demon.
“Wait!”
Lu Sheng’s voice rang out again like an invisible shackle.
He Wanying’s body stiffened and she stopped at the doorway.
“Come here.” The order was brief and brooked no doubt.
He Wanying slowly turned around, her eyes as empty as a puppet that had lost its soul, and shuffled heavily back to the bedside. She had even prepared herself to endure an even more excessive humiliation, her body tensing up instinctively.
“Look at me.” Lu Sheng’s voice was calm and unruffled.
He Wanying lifted her head in a daze.
Then her whole body froze.
That faint, heart‑palpitating golden radiance lit up in Lu Sheng’s eyes again!
And in her field of vision, that familiar servant‑collection prompt box surfaced once more!
However, the contents had changed.
『Do you agree?』
『Once you agree, you can proceed with the second awakening and obtain the second class!』
『Note: Due to the special characteristics of the Master class, the lowest grade of the Second class is S-rank!』
He Wanying’s pupils shrank sharply and her mind roared blank!
“What… is this…”
She had never heard of such an outrageous class ability.
It could actually help someone awaken a second class with a 100% success rate, and even the lowest possible class rank would be S-rank.
“S-rank?! The minimum is S-rank?”
Only a handful of S-ranks appeared in Lanjiang City each year! Those were true heaven’s favored children, future colossi who would hold up the sky!
He Wanying even wondered if she wanted to become a high-ranked class holder so badly that she was hallucinating!
She rubbed her eyes subconsciously and even pinched herself… ouch! The prompt box before her eyes really did exist!
Lu Sheng’s voice sounded in her ears again.
“Well?”
“I’ll give you one last chance.”
“Will you choose to spend your once-brilliant life in this gaudy place of wine and pleasure, waiting on all sorts of men as you fritter yourself away in mediocrity?”
“Or will you choose… to obtain an S-rank, or even possibly a higher-grade class! From then on…”
“With the vast sea, fish can leap as they please!”
“With the high sky, birds can fly as they wish!”
“The price is this… offer me your loyalty, let the rest of your life belong to me alone, and submit to me!”
