Crossing the Gods as Slaves

After Gene sent Regila away, the commander's mansion seemed to have returned to its previous tranquility. The only difference was that Ning Hua's attitude towards the commander was more respectful. Perhaps because she had a clear understanding of her identity as the commander's maid, she paid special attention to the rules of a maid.

Lu Xiu keenly sensed Ning Hua's alienation from him, but there was nothing he could do.

Ning Hua followed the instructions of military doctor Gail and began to massage Lu Xiu's legs and feet every night. Gail was not confident enough in her and watched her every time she massaged him.

Therefore, the rare opportunity to close the distance between the two was missed by Gail.

The New Year's Eve dinner was coming up soon. On the last day of December, the sky suddenly cleared up after a few days of snowfall, and the entire imperial capital was decorated with lights and colors, revealing a strong New Year atmosphere.

Just after noon, Gene informed Ning Hua to change into her dress early, as her hairstylist had arrived to do her hair.

Ning Hua, who had changed her clothes and done her hair, stunned Gene as soon as she appeared. Gene blushed and praised her sincerely: "Ning Hua, you look really good after dressing up."

Ning Hua smiled and said, "You look good in a dress. I see you in a uniform every day, but I almost couldn't recognize you after you changed into a different outfit today."

Gene scratched his head sheepishly and smiled: "By the way, His Highness is already waiting at the aircraft, let's go over there quickly."

Ning Hua nodded, but the heels she wore today were too high and her feet felt a little tired when she walked.

After leaving the hall, Ning Hua saw Lu Xiu standing next to the aircraft. He was wearing a black suit and had an upright posture. At this moment, he was talking to Primo.

Ning Hua walked over and bowed to him. Lu Xiu nodded at her and turned around to continue listening to Primo's speech.

When getting on the aircraft, Ning Hua slightly sprained her ankle, and Lu Xiu, who was standing beside her, immediately reached out to pull her up, but Gene had already helped Ning Hua up first. After Ning Hua stood firm, she thanked Gene, not noticing Lu Xiu's hand that was stretched out and then retracted.

After sitting down on the aircraft, Ning Hua heard Primo still instructing Lu Xiu: "Your Highness, in addition to being careful not to stand for too long, you must also pay attention to the food at the banquet. Eat less raw and cold food, which is good for your health. Also, drink less wine. Every year at the New Year's Eve dinner, as long as the adults from the major legions attend, you will drink too much. This year is different from the past. Your Highness, the injury on your leg has not fully recovered yet. You must not drink too much and then compete with others casually."

Lu Xiu uttered a "hmm" neither lightly nor heavily, without any impatience in his voice.

Primo continued, "If that brat Gene gets drunk, just leave him at the venue and ignore him. Go to your room on the ninety-ninth floor and rest."

Lu Xiu thought about Gene's quick eyes and hands just now, and said "OK" to Primo. When Gene heard it, he immediately acted indignant: "Your Highness, you can't ignore me. Every time I drink too much, it's to help you block the wine."

Lu Xiu glanced at him and Gene immediately stopped talking.

Primo snorted at Jean: "You have poor drinking habits. Please don't embarrass His Highness."

Gene glanced at Lu Xiu, then put on a bitter face at Primo.

At the entrance of the celebration banquet and New Year's Eve dinner, a large number of media had already set up their positions, and a large crowd of people were gathered near the venue, waiting for their commander to appear. As soon as Lu Xiu got off the aircraft, there was a tsunami-like shouting. Ning Hua followed behind Lu Xiu and experienced the surging enthusiasm of the people up close for the first time.
