Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. He was still worried that he had misunderstood, so he confirmed:

"You mean, after the Pope of Discipline moved in for a few days, she had little contact with Princess Melissa, and Princess Melissa ignored her. They were like strangers living in the same place."

"Yes."

The head maid nodded affirmatively, and Morning Star also nodded repeatedly, like a little follower, doing whatever her seniors did.

Chu Yan suddenly didn't know how to evaluate this situation. No wonder the head maid said that the Pope of Discipline was living here as a hotel.

Before entering the door, Chu Yan had imagined many situations.

Because of the difficulties Princess Melissa had suffered in Paradise City in the past, the two might have conflicts and disputes after this meeting.

Putting aside their respective status, the two were once competitors in the same school, and it is completely understandable that they had a verbal confrontation that was just right.

The Pope of Discipline is currently living under someone else's roof, enjoying the care of the Thunder royal maids, so he shouldn't take his status as Pope for granted.

Apart from this, if there were any other circumstances, it was probably that Princess Melissa did not take the difficulties at that time seriously at all, and directly discussed the current situation with the Pope of Discipline, analyzed the situation, and discussed countermeasures.

As soon as Chu Yan arrives, we will have an in-depth meeting and only discuss the feasibility of these countermeasures. There is no need to spend more time thinking about solutions.

He could never have imagined that these two people would live together under the same roof for such a few days like strangers.

"Has Princess Melissa ever revealed her attitude? How does she view the coming of the Pope of Discipline? Is she disgusted or what?"

The head maid replied:

“I have asked similar questions privately, because the way the princess and the Pope of Discipline get along is really strange. The princess’ response was… ignore it for now and wait and see.

The princess ignored us, and the Pope of Discipline did not speak to us these days. It was always Commander Deloya who was waiting by our side. "

Ignore?

This should be the attitude of Princess Melissa. She must be dissatisfied with the Pope of Discipline in her heart, but considering Chu Yan or the needs of the current situation, she let her stay for the time being.

And when she said "let's see later", she was probably waiting for Chu Yan's attitude to see what the identity of this Pope of Discipline will be in the future.

An enemy or a friend.

The situation seems a bit serious...

Chu Yan took a breath and started to worry.

"What about Commander Deloya? Hasn't she gotten up yet?"

The head maid knew very little about this issue, but the white-haired maid had a say.

The head maid had to stay in the mansion most of the time, serving the princess and arranging work for the maids. She rarely went out.

The maid, Morning Star, often went out to buy coffee beans, tea leaves, pastries from the snack shop, etc. for the princess. Sometimes she would see Commander Deloya walking around.

"As for Commander Deroya's recent experience, I saw her go out to the Adventurer's Guild and the Small Parish. I don't know anything else!"

When reporting this information, Qimingxing was very excited, his slender eyebrows raised, and his eyes lit up, like a proud little hen.

Even the head maid couldn't get the information, but she was able to tell it!

Chu Yan felt amused and helpless in his heart.

The value of this kind of information is almost the same as not hearing it. The Adventurer's Guild is an old place to go. Commander Deluya has always participated in various plans. It is normal to understand the movements of the guild now. And going to the small parish is even more normal. No matter what, you have to understand the recent situation of the clergy.

However, Chu Yan could not expect that Morning Star would be able to accidentally glimpse any secret operations. It would be a worrying thing if the actions of the Sanctuary of Discipline could be so easily discovered by her.

Monthly Fee Group 694936135 No matter what, Chu Yan still responded to Qimingxing's excitement and praised and thanked him:

"This is good information. I'll write it down for now. Thank you!"

"Hehe~" The little white-haired maid smiled silly, as if she had been praised by her senior for her work.

Qimingxing was still confused, but the head maid could tell that Chu Yan's thanks were simply out of kindness and more like an attempt to cheer her up. It was the same as if he hadn't said those few pieces of information.

"Morning Star, quickly thank Lord Chu Yan!"

"what?"

The little white-haired maid looked at her boss in confusion, wondering why she had to thank her in return. However, the head maid's expression did not seem to be joking, but serious.

Although Qimingxing didn't quite understand, he still did as he was told.

"Thank you, Lord Chu Yan!"

*

Chu Yan waited in the living room for nearly an hour, and finally the two ladies woke up early.

Apart from the casual chat with the maid at the beginning, Chu Yan spent the second half of the time sitting alone in a chair, quietly leaning back with his eyes closed to rest.

I didn't think too much, I just cleared my mind.

I had already thought about everything I needed to think about yesterday. There is no need to waste my energy on random thoughts now.

In the past, when I was living a carefree life with nothing to worry about, I thought it was harmless to let my thoughts fly and brainstorm when I was distracted. But when I had more serious things to deal with, insignificant thoughts became a burden.

If you don't control your brain well, you will only feel more tired the more you rest, which will eventually affect your ability to handle important matters.

"Sorry for the long wait. Why are you here so early?" Princess Melissa greeted them politely and gracefully.

It seems to be a polite greeting to distinguished guests, but if you listen carefully, you can catch the subtle trust and relaxation.

The Pope of Discipline glanced briefly at Princess Melissa because of this greeting.

Princess Melissa’s outfit today surprised Chu Yan a little. It was really a bit...uncharacteristic!

The princess is a scheming and calculating woman who doesn't usually pursue high standards in clothing. She only cares about what complies with the etiquette of the kingdom and doesn't overly display her personal tastes and preferences. Chu Yan's impression of her clothing is all kinds of classical court dresses.

But today she was wearing a deep U-shaped off-shoulder beige dress, which could almost be seen as a one-line tube top dress with a deep U-shaped opening in the middle, all the way to her navel. It could be said that the middle door was half open, with only a layer of white gauze covering that part of the delicate skin.

Probably only in social dances between young and impulsive men and women would such hot outfits appear, with the highlight being a competition to see which girl can become the focus of the dance.

But Princess Melissa is a reclusive person, why did she suddenly change into this dress?

The Pope of Discipline no longer wore the papal robe. Instead, he wore a dark-colored casual dress that highlighted his graceful figure, but it could not conceal the invisible oppressive power of being in a higher position.

It's this casual dress, it seems a little familiar...

Oh, it seems I sent it a few days ago!

Could it be that Princess Melissa changed her dress for this reason, secretly competing with the Pope of Discipline? !

Chu Yan pretended not to notice. After thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, he responded to the princess's morning greeting:

"My mother Weilin has come to the city. She won't let me sleep in, so I came here to take a nap.

Why don't we go to the dining table and discuss it while we eat, so as not to affect your breakfast time."

Several people then moved to the dining room, and Commander De Luoya also came back at this time. She calculated the time very accurately.

I calculated the time for the Pope of Discipline to get up and go downstairs, and came back from outside on time.

When Commander De Luoya saw Chu Yan appear, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to come here today. It seemed that he wanted to have a formal discussion.

When meal time began, the two ladies ate a few bites to fill their stomachs, and then waited attentively for Chu Yan's words.

Just as Chu Yan was about to speak, Princess Melissa spoke first, saying:

"Let me confirm one thing first. Is this a negotiation of interests or a discussion of cooperation?"

At first glance, these two words sound the same, but there are slight differences in the details.

One party in the negotiation has some disadvantages, but the disadvantage is not complete. Both parties are trying to satisfy their own requirements, avoid the losses caused by conflicts and struggles, and strive for their own interests as much as possible.

The cooperation negotiations are not so serious and the status of both parties is equal.

Waiting more also means that the discourse power is equal.

Chu Yan couldn't figure out what the princess meant for a moment. Why did she ask this?

"The Pope of Discipline and I have mutual requests, and we are ready to have an in-depth discussion on cooperation."

“Is that so? I understand…” Princess Melissa responded softly, nodding as she pondered something.

Then she raised her slender white hand and slapped the Pope of Discipline on the face.

Author's words: Today (before I go to bed), the number of chapters I owe is expected to reach (-10)

Once you’ve cleared the bill before the 20th, you can start making up for last month’s bill.

This month's monthly ticket reward will also be calculated into the additional update

Chapter 10 I'll give you a slap in the face! (-)

There was no warning when Princess Melissa slapped him. She just started right after she asked the question.

The force was well controlled, not the kind of force that comes from a fight to the death due to a deep hatred, but the slap sounded very loud.

After this palm strike, the Pope of Discipline's cheeks were all red, with the left and right cheeks having different colors.

She must have been a little confused. After briefly pondering the princess's courage to take action, the Pope of Discipline stared at her.

Princess Melissa's expression remained unchanged. She glanced back calmly, not regretting her offense to the Pope of Discipline just now.

This is not an impulsive act, but a slap in the face made after careful consideration!

Time seemed to stand still in the dining room.

When the sound of the ticking second hand returned to everyone's ears, the Pope of Discipline also took action. She also raised her fair jade hand and slapped Princess Melissa in the face.

Return the greeting calmly.

"Snapped--"

The sound was equally loud, but not too strong, a perfect counterattack.

At the dinner table, two noble women had red on one side of their faces, and the red was even more glaring against their snow-white skin.

Then they calmly ate a few more bites of breakfast, their emotions terrifyingly stable.

Chu Yan: “…”

Commander Deluya: "......"

⊙▂⊙

Neither of them dared to breathe, for fear of being involved, but they were a little confused and could only watch in confusion what was happening before their eyes.

The maids who were ready to obey orders at any time widened their eyes, seemed to be hesitant to speak, and were at a loss, not reacting to what was happening.

Commander Deloya carefully watched his superior's reaction and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the reason for the attack was unclear, the most important thing was that the Pope of Discipline was not angry.

If she gets angry, Commander Deloya will have no choice but to defend the dignity of the Pope.

Princess Melissa's appetite was better than usual, probably because the slap just now made her feel better. The food became much more delicious.

She quickly ate her fill, wiped her mouth, and thoughtfully reminded:

"Young lord, we can talk business now. Don't worry about me."

Chu Yan sighed in his heart, and then acted as if nothing had happened. He said:

“I have some things to add to this meeting, but let’s talk about what we decided at the beginning.

Pope of Discipline, why did you suddenly come to the Babel City area secretly? Did something happen in the Central Diocese?"

This question should have been discussed a long time ago, but I’m asking it now.

However, this time, we were able to clarify everything in one go, so we didn't have to negotiate frequently, which was actually not bad.

The Discipline Pope was an extremely dignified mature woman. The blush on one side of her face somewhat affected her strong and dignified temperament, but she acted as if nothing had happened and calmly got to the point:

"My disagreement with the Pope of the Gospel began a long time ago, dating back to when he first took office. However, the Pope of the Gospel was in a state of laziness and did not care about anything, so I had no chance to have a dispute with him."

If Chu Yan had not asked the princess about this matter earlier, he would probably have been really confused.

When this generation of popes came to power, Pope Nemogebi made many stupid moves and almost dragged the Pope of Discipline into trouble.

Because of the rule that the Black and White Popes should advance and retreat together, the Pope of Discipline had to help the Pope of Gospel to settle his troubles at that time.

But this was a last resort, and she must have been mostly disgusted with the Gospel Pope.
