Chapter 7, The Abnormal Family

In fact, after Nicole finished interrogating Roddy, she immediately returned to her room, refusing to allow anyone to enter. Throughout the night, the servants in the mansion could hear the sounds of furious banging and the shattering of glassware coming from Nicole's room. The next day, when the servants cleaned the room, they found that, apart from the bed, which remained intact, all the other furniture had been destroyed by her rage.

Just as Rody was lost in his foolish thoughts, Nicole couldn't help but hum softly and said, "Have you cleaned yourself up?"

What a ridiculous teacher! What a ridiculous history! What a ridiculous tulip family! This is simply the most bizarre family in the world

This night was the most difficult one that Rody had ever endured in his life—of course, only up to this point! Considering that he has already been caught by Nicole, his challenging days will certainly not be limited to just this one night

A giant, standing over two meters tall, strode in with large steps. He was bare-chested, revealing his bulging muscles, and on his fierce face, a pair of eyes were glaring at Rody, seemingly sizing him up from head to toe. Rody immediately became so frightened that he shrank into the wooden barrel.

However, the giant had already approached with large strides. He extended a massive hand and, as if catching a chick, seized Roddy by the neck, effortlessly lifting him up. He examined the naked Roddy from top to bottom, and then suddenly grinned, tossing Roddy back into the wooden barrel.

Although confined in the woodshed, the nights were relatively pleasant. Aside from the captain of the guards, who was punished for his infiltration and secretly kicked him a few times out of anger, Rody even managed to enjoy a piece of good black bread in the evening. It seems that the family of the Empire's War God is indeed different from others

Rodi looked over and almost called out

Just when Roddy thought he had escaped a disaster with the book, there was a loud bang as the small door was pushed open again—or rather, kicked open.

The moment Roddy laid eyes on Nicole, he was immediately stunned

With a heart full of tension and unease, Roddy pushed open the door and stepped out of the room. In the courtyard, Nicole, dressed in a white robe, sat on a chair, coldly watching him.

Because that giant simply does not understand that he should be more gentle! Especially when he is scrubbing certain areas!

Until dawn, Roddy finally realized: it seems he is about to embrace a new beginning

Rody had not yet reacted when the bearded man in front of him suddenly yanked down his pants. This left Rody utterly terrified. He let out a cry and immediately kicked out—unfortunately, his whole body was sore, especially the leg that had been kicked by the horse, causing him to feel a sharp pain as soon as he lifted it, making him collapse back down. The group of men in front of him, however, seemed unfazed, continuing to strip him of his clothes one by one.

The giant held Rody in one hand, while in the other hand, he inexplicably produced a gigantic brush—my goodness, that was clearly a brush used by a groom to brush horses

Rody could no longer speak, merely staring intently at Nicole and mechanically nodding. Under the weight of such a gaze, Nicole couldn't help but blush, but her expression soon darkened: "If you keep looking at me like that, I will gouge out your eyeballs!"

His actions were extremely meticulous, leaving no part of Rody's body overlooked. He carefully cleaned every speck of dirt on Rody. Rody felt as if he were a pig about to be slaughtered, being scrubbed clean from top to bottom by that giant—honestly, it was an unbearable torment

At that moment, Luo and Tushudi suddenly heard a voice: "Are you done cursing? If you are done, come out immediately! There is a set of clothes on the chair outside the room!"

Amidst Roddy's loud cries, he was dragged into a large room that even had curtains hanging over the windows. Inside the room, there was also a small door, the contents of which remained a mystery.

The giant clearly mistook Roddy for a horse, and after slightly wetting the brush, he unceremoniously began to brush Roddy's body.

In fact, every man goes through a phase like this, especially during his youth, when there is often a period of infatuation and desire. This is a stage that young boys like Roddy inevitably experience, characterized by a blind admiration and impulse towards the opposite sex—especially when faced with a stunning beauty like Nicole.

This man is dressed in gray attire, and what impresses people the most is his long hair, which is as white as silver threads. His long hair is casually tied up, and he squints his eyes as if he is inadvertently looking at himself. His hands are clasped behind his back, and a faint smile graces his face

Fortunately, those individuals did not seem to take any further action against him. After stripping Roddy of his clothes, they pushed him through the small door inside the room, and then they closed the door and left without a trace.

Behind the small door is a small room, filled with swirling mist. In the center of the room stands a massive wooden barrel, taller than a Rodian, from which billowing white vapor rises.

In my memory, only the children of a few noble families within the academy wore this style of clothing

Although it was not the first time he had seen Nicole, her appearance during the day was much clearer and more vivid than at night! Nicole's golden hair shimmered in the sunlight, and her deep lake-blue eyes seemed unfathomable, as if one could not see the bottom. Her fair skin appeared to reflect a soft glow under the sun, making her look almost unreal! Like a goddess! She exuded an air of noble and untouchable elegance.

For Rody, the difficulty of this evening lies in the fear of the unknown regarding the future

With a thud, Roddy's head struck the bottom of the barrel, and he choked on several mouthfuls of water. However, before he could utter a word of complaint, the giant had already grabbed his foot and lifted him up once more

"Alright!" Nicole's delicate voice rang out. Although her tone was icy, the softness of her voice meant that no matter how cold her demeanor, it could never truly convey a sense of frigidness, always carrying a hint of charm within it. She continued, "Now, I want to test your skills! Let's see if you have what it takes to become a... a... servant of the Tulip family!"

Seeing that Rody did not speak, Nicole nodded. Subsequently, a middle-aged man approached from behind Nicole.

Rody's attention was completely focused on Nicole herself, and he did not notice any inappropriate elements in her words, nor did he find it strange that a servant would need to "try their hand" at something—indeed, at this moment, not only would he not question the need to "try their hand," but if Nicole were to ask him to draw his sword and kill someone, he would likely rush out without hesitation at the mere beckoning of her little finger.

He cursed angrily, yet he was completely unaware that after being doused with this bucket of water by the giant, the injuries he had sustained the previous night seemed to have healed significantly, and even the area that had been kicked by the horse now seemed to hurt much less.

Rodi immediately erupted in a torrent of curses! He hurled every foul word imaginable, cursing the Giants and the Yujinxiang family, and ultimately even included the teachers from the Imperial Academy in his tirade

However, Roddy harbored a faint thought in his heart: fortunately, he had not been sent to the police station! Compared to being caught by the police and then imprisoned, staying beside that beautiful noble girl should be considered a much better situation... And... sigh, that girl... she... she is truly... truly beautiful... sigh, that girl... she... she is truly... truly beautiful...

Rody immediately sighed in relief, as he understood the intentions of those people; they wanted him to take a bath. With this thought in mind, Rody cheered and jumped into the tub with a splash.

The giant thoroughly scrubbed Rody for a full half hour, and finally, he poured a bucket of water over Rody, looking at him with satisfaction. At that moment, Rody was completely red, as clean as a newborn baby.

The giant nodded, then threw down the brush, no longer casting a glance at Roddy, and walked out of the room

After all, he is still young, just a big boy, and at this moment he is so frightened that he is almost fainting

In fact, he is only eighteen years old this year, and for the previous eighteen years, he has been striving to become a qualified warrior. After his father's death, he sold all his inheritance (although that old man actually left him very little) and became a student at the Imperial Academy, working hard to survive. However, tonight, the entire world has changed. The goal he had fought for over the years has suddenly vanished. In fact, it is no longer possible for him to return to the academy; he has not earned any money and has been captured by that noble girl—it's all that detestable flower prince's fault! He actually dared to play tricks on him! Rody swore that if he ever had the chance to see that flower prince again, he would not listen to a single word he said and would go straight for his nose!

At this moment, the middle-aged man walked up to Rody, and only then did Rody begin to seriously scrutinize this fellow

Rodi immediately shivered—he recognized that it was the voice of the noble lady! He certainly did not dare to offend that woman

Previously, Rody's entire attention was focused on Nicole. In fact, his gaze had been entirely fixed on her since he entered the courtyard. It could be said that even if there were a person standing behind Nicole, or even a dragon, he would likely remain oblivious to it.

Although he is casually standing here, Rody feels a strange sensation—he feels that what stands before him is not a person, but a wall

He walked out of the room and indeed saw a new set of clothes placed on the chair in the other room. Rody reached out and touched the hem, feeling that the fabric was very soft—after all, he could not distinguish between high-quality and inferior materials. Rody put on the clothes; aside from the underwear being a bit tight, everything else was fine, especially since he had never worn such beautiful clothes before, which made him feel a bit excited.

Rody was startled, immediately becoming alert, and quickly lowered his head, yet he couldn't help but steal glances at Nicole from the corner of his eye

I am going to die, I am going to die! Rodi silently thought to himself: From now on, if I stay by her side every day, my life will surely be cut short. Oh God, why didn't I take advantage of her unconsciousness last night... Sigh, even if she bites me a few more times, even if she bites my mouth off, it would still be worth it!

Rodi was so frightened that his face turned pale—he had heard that many noble families had a preference for such tastes, particularly favoring young, handsome boys. But given his own unattractive appearance, would they even be interested in him?

After dawn, Rody had just finally dozed off in a daze, but barely a moment after he fell asleep, the door to the storeroom was flung open. Several burly servants rushed in like wolves and tigers, and without allowing Rody to say a word, they seized him and dragged him out.

Beside him, Si Da was still sleeping like a dead pig, no matter how much Luo Di pushed and called him, it was of no use
