Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

"Master."

She was clearly saying this word for the first time. Her usually calm tone sounded a little unnatural.

Lin Mo’s brain finally caught up, but this only left him even more shocked.

’Something like this can happen?’

It actually seemed quite reasonable, come to think of it, but... but wasn’t this a little too good?

Just a short while ago, he had been imagining how wonderful it would be if Shefilya could become his Maid.

And now, his dream had come true just like that?

"Please move your hands."

Shefilya repeated herself. "There is no need for any shyness in front of your Maid."

As she spoke, she gently moved Lin Mo’s arms aside with her hands.

Shefilya’s pupils clearly constricted for a moment. Then, with somewhat stiff movements, she began to wash Lin Mo’s body.

Her movements quickly became fluid and practiced.

After all, she had often washed Feney’s body like this in the past.

All in all, there wasn’t much of a difference...

"Wait! You... you don’t need to do that part, do you?"

Lin Mo’s voice, like that of a shy young girl, echoed from the bathroom.

Shefilya just watched him with her usual calm gaze. "I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: there is no need for any shyness in front of your Maid."

As she spoke, she reached out her hand...

"HISS—!"

A short while later, Lin Mo sat on the living room sofa in a bathrobe, having been attended to by Shefilya. His expression was still somewhat dazed.

Although there had been some warning signs—for instance, Shefilya’s attitude toward him had clearly been improving bit by bit—such an abrupt change still left him feeling a little overwhelmed.

Lin Mo had indeed heard of such a tradition in this world. In some prominent noble families, a young lady like Feney would often be assigned a personal Maid at a very young age—some were even the young lady’s paternal half-sisters...

These personal Maids would grow up with the young lady, accompanying her for her entire life.

This naturally included when the young lady married, at which point the personal Maid would go with her as part of the dowry, becoming the Maid of both husband and wife.

They would even take on the duty of warming the bed on many occasions.

Lin Mo thought of Shefilya’s mother, that well-built young Maid, who seemed to have always been with Lady Beixila. Was it a similar situation to Feney’s?

If that was truly the case, then this relationship, passed down from Miss Melissa to Shefilya like an inheritance... could it be that Shefilya was also the daughter of Lady Beixila’s husband—that is, Feney’s father?

In that case, wouldn’t that make her Feney’s older, paternal half-sister?

No wonder Feney called her "Sister Shefilya." They really were sisters!

"Dinner is ready. Please come and eat... Master."

Shefilya still seemed a little unused to the change in address.

But the one even more unused to it was Lin Mo himself.

To be honest, hearing a beautiful Maid like Shefilya call him "Master" certainly gave him a heady, floating feeling.

And because Shefilya’s tone was naturally calm, without any sudden fluctuations, her use of the title sounded completely natural and wasn’t the least bit awkward to hear.

Guided by Shefilya, he sat down at the dining table. Watching the beautiful girl standing beside him, helping to cut his meat cutlet, the dreamlike feeling grew even stronger.

’So, from now on, she’s my Maid too?!’

Ali, who had also come to the table, seemed to have noticed something. She was usually the most enthusiastic about eating, but now, her gaze was fixed on Shefilya, and she had barely touched the food in front of her.

As a Half-Beastman, Ali’s Perception was extremely keen.

This keenness wasn’t just for sensing danger; it also applied to picking up on subtle emotions, like now.

"What’s wrong, Ali?"

Compared to her, the gentle Little Cat Girl, Lena, who was sitting nearby, seemed rather dense.

"It’s nothing..."

Ali shook her head. Some things, of course, were not suitable to be said out loud.

’Besides, this is actually very normal. I prepared myself for this long ago.’

’To have secured a place by Lin Mo’s side, and even to have been the first, is already lucky enough.’

But when it was actually about to happen, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss, like a child whose toy was being taken away.

Just then, Lin Mo suddenly picked up a piece of the cutlet with his chopsticks and placed it on her plate. "Is the food not to your liking?"

"No..."

Ali waved her hands in a flurry. "Miss Shefilya’s cooking is excellent. I like it a lot too."

Lin Mo paused for a moment. Her words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.

He didn’t know if he was overthinking it, or if the seemingly carefree Little Wolf Girl really did have such a delicate side to her.

Beside them, Shefilya also bowed slightly. "I’m glad you like it."

She consistently positioned herself as a Maid. She was like this with Feney, and after certain things were settled, she was the same with Lin Mo and even Ali and the others.

There didn’t seem to be any tense atmosphere between the two, and Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

Only the clueless Little Cat Girl, Lena, had no idea what was going on. She also felt that the atmosphere at dinner was a bit strange today, but she couldn’t understand why at all.

The Little Cat Girl only knew that dinner was delicious, so she had to eat more. She stuffed her cheeks full and looked at everyone with a puzzled expression.

Lin Mo couldn’t help but be amused by her innocent appearance. Ali, on the other hand, shook her head with a sense of helplessness. ’Looks like my "crash course" for my best friend is far from enough,’ she thought. ’I have to keep teaching her, and maybe be a little more aggressive about it...’
