Heroic Death System (BL)

ARC 8 : COVENANTOR

Lu Xiufan has already met a significant number of covenantors, but he'd never met one more outstanding than Shang Ke. If he was this exceptional after becoming a covenantor, how dazzling must he have been previously?

Every time he thought of the matter, Lu Xiufan felt a stirring of anger towards Yue Family. It was their short-sightedness that destroyed what should have been a promising life.

Over the next couple of days, Shang Ke not only recommended bodyguards to Lu Xiufan, but also procurement specialists, gardeners, cleaners, and more, increasing the mansion's population by seven or eight new staff members, filling almost all the mansion's vacancies. It got to the point that the butler, who thought he was about to lose his job, anxiously ran to Lu Xiufan to complain about Shang Ke's "crimes", declaring that if he continued to ignore this behavior, the mansion would soon be overrun by covenantors! The result was as could be expected, Lu Xiufan dismissed the charges with a cold snort.

The head butler was worried that too many covenantors would lower the mansion's organization, but it was the opposite to what he feared. When the covenantors arrived, they had made the mansion even more neat and orderly. They were strict to themselves and had serious work ethics. After being trained together, their etiquettes were up to standards and the way they dedicated themselves to their assigned roles were enough to make the head butler blush with shame. The only fly in the ointment was that their expressions were too singular.

Shang Ke had once attempted to fix that. He had picked out three covenantors and took out three expression pictures and had them imitate it. However, what brought them dismay was that true to word, they imitated the expressions. But after they imitated it, they kept it on constantly without change. As long as Shang Ke does not tell them to change it, they would probably keep a smiling face on until the end of time. What brought upon even more tragedy was that one of the expression pictures was an angrily glaring with wide eyes one. That sour and invigorating feeling simply could not be described with words.

Shang Ke really wasn't playing around with them on purpose, but it really was... too funny.

He thought it was funny, but Lu Xiufan found it even funnier than him.

How should a facially paralyzed person be able to rationally teach other facially paralyzed people how to properly control their facial muscles? Little Ze, have you never thought about enriching your own expression first?

The covenantors expression were unable to obtain salvation, instead, it was his cold and stern face that was transformed.

That incident had Lu Xiufan sneakily smiling for a long time, to the extent that when the surrounding people saw him, they all held the strange feeling of the spring sunshine shining upon them.

Shang Ke did not mind, although the expression training was a failure, the other aspects were successful.

To improve the covenantors' position, the first step was to have everyone gradually become used to covenantors blending into their life and work. Lu Xiufan was truly the best advertisement for this, with him taking the lead, he can influence many people. Although Lu Xiufan was considered an extremely dangerous beast by the bigwigs, he was a fairly popular and prestigious man amongst the common people.

It was clearly impossible for him to establish a protective mechanism for the convenantors by himself. He had to rely on those with real authority to draw up regulations and put them into effect.

Shang Ke's gaze landed on Lu Xiufan, having a man like him that can charge through enemy lines and retreat to bring peace and stability was just great.

After sneakily exploiting him of his remaining value, Shang Ke expressed that he must wholeheartedly repay him back.

That night, Shang Ke took out a supplementary service plan book and let Lu Xiufan choose which type of service he would like. Amongst them was a massage (one hour), physiotherapy (two hours), musical performance (thirty minutes), cosplay (unlimited time), etcetera.
