The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Because Ji Xinyu encountered no significant resistance when she entered the capital, and she had released all the civilians in the city before the attack, now that the situation was settled, most of the civilians who had fled the city returned and resumed their normal lives.

In addition, the officials and military officers who came from all over the empire to attend the enthronement ceremony almost filled the inns and guesthouses in the capital, making the capital quite lively.

In the capital of the Tianyun Empire, where almost everyone has black hair and black eyes, Amelie, this pink-haired foreign young lady, naturally stands out.

Many people would whisper among themselves when they saw Amelie, but no one dared to approach her to speak, especially the cultivators of the Empire, who would avoid her in fear.

When the allied forces attacked the main peak of Yunshan, Amelie did not participate, and most of the imperial cultivators did not actually know Amelie's true appearance.

But the grumpy maid who always carried a sword and followed behind Amelie was known to almost everyone in the cultivation world of the Tianyun Empire—the senior sister of the Immortal Sect, Tianyin.

Who could be the person who treats the senior disciple of the immortal sect like a maid? Even a fool could guess that it's the alien witch who defeated the Dao Ancestor.

After witnessing Amelie strolling through the streets of the capital with Tianyin, many people felt a mix of fear and curiosity towards her—this witch, aside from her strange hair color, didn't have any fangs or a blue face; in fact, she was quite pretty, even prettier than many fairies.

Emerald never cared about people's comments about her beauty, because there were never any derogatory words in the comments, so she let them be.

What Emerald didn't expect was that when she and Tianyin passed by a teahouse, the teahouse owner, who was soliciting customers at the door, actually came over and greeted her:

"This young lady must be from a very far place, right? Would you like to try our most distinctive tea and snacks?"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Amelie stopped in her tracks and looked at the teahouse owner with some curiosity. She could tell that he was just an ordinary old man with only enough spiritual energy in his body to keep him healthy.

Aren't you afraid of me?

Amélie looked at the old man with amusement:

"Didn't you see how terrified those cultivators on the street were of me? I'm the witch who led the attack on the immortal sects... Even the death of your little emperor was, strictly speaking, related to me."

"It's precisely because you're such a powerful and important person that I'm not afraid... This old man only has this one teahouse, do you think you'd be interested in it, Miss?"

There was indeed no fear in the old man's tone; he even chuckled after he finished speaking.

"Besides, Miss, you're so beautiful, what bad intentions could you possibly have?"

"Ha...you old man are quite interesting."

Emery laughed, and after laughing, she led Tianyin directly into the teahouse. After sitting down at a table by the window, she gestured for Tianyin to give the teahouse owner a handful of Imperial Gold Coins.

"Old man, you're right. I do come from a very far place, so bring me your most distinctive teas and snacks. I want to have a good taste... By the way, are there any large brothels around here? Go and find me a few dancers. I want to listen to music and watch dances."

"Yes, Miss!"

After the teahouse owner respectfully answered, he happily accepted the gold coins. The money he earned from this one deal was equivalent to what he used to earn in ten or fifteen days of hard work.

...Sure enough, the lesson my mother taught me when I was little was absolutely right—no matter how powerful or capable a woman is, as long as you sincerely praise her beauty, it will always be beneficial and harmless.

After accepting the gold coins, the teahouse owner first instructed his staff to quickly serve Amelie the best tea and snacks in the shop. Then, he personally went to the brothel on the next street and brought back all three top-ranking dancers from that brothel to perform songs and dances for Amelie in the teahouse.

People who can run brothels in the capital are naturally very well-informed. The brothel owner knew immediately when Amelie entered the teahouse, so when the teahouse owner asked for dancers, he immediately agreed. He not only sent out the best dancers in the shop, but also didn't even charge them.

The brothel owner wasn't afraid of losing money at all, because as long as Emerald didn't suddenly lose her temper and kill everyone today, the news that the three dancers had served the witch would spread immediately. In that case, why would she have to worry about not having business in the future?

"Hmm... this tea snack tastes pretty good. It's soft and fluffy, a bit like cake but chewier."

"And this tea is quite good too... Although it can't compare to the Elf Queen's flower tea, its aroma is something that our Federation's teas simply don't have. No wonder it's the birthplace of tea."

In the teahouse, after tasting the tea and snacks served, Emerald did not hold back her praise.

Because this world is nourished by magic and spiritual energy, even foods that are similar or identical to those prepared in Amelie's previous life will taste more delicious in this world, as will tea and snacks.

As Amelie enjoyed her tea and snacks, the three dancers began their performance. One played and sang on a harp, while the other two danced around her.

A dancer who can become the most beautiful courtesan in the brothels of the capital must have top-notch looks and figure, and her singing and dancing skills are also quite outstanding... She is still somewhat inferior to Su Lina, but in Amelie's previous life, she would be no less than those popular idols.

Enjoying tea and snacks while watching beautiful women sing and dance, time flew by, and soon almost an hour had passed.

The streets outside the teahouse saw fewer and fewer pedestrians, and eventually a complete curfew was imposed, with armored soldiers guarding intersections in all directions.

"...They arrived quite quickly."

Emerald glanced out the window and paid it little mind. Seeing that the three dancers seemed a bit nervous, she smiled and reassured them:

"It's alright. It must be your Empress coming to see me. Don't worry, just keep playing the music and dancing. Maybe she'll reward you later if she's in a better mood."

"Yes, Miss~~" x3

The three dancers responded in soft, seductive voices and continued their song and dance performance.

A few minutes later, the sound of a carriage could be heard outside the teahouse. It was a luxurious carriage pulled by eight fine horses, escorted by a team of golden-armored imperial guards, and it stopped in front of the teahouse.

One of the guards was about to step into the teahouse, but he must have received an order and immediately stood back down, ignoring everything inside.

Then the carriage curtain was pulled open from the inside, and a woman wearing a black robe with gold patterns stepped down from the carriage. It was Ji Xinyu.

Upon seeing this, the teahouse owner hurriedly went out to greet him and was about to kneel down to pay his respects, but an invisible force held him up and prevented him from kneeling down, and he was unable to say what he wanted to say.

"You can continue to serve her from the side, but don't disturb my senior sister's enjoyment."

Ji Xinyu waved to the teahouse owner and walked directly into the teahouse. She glanced around at Tianyin, who was dressed as a maid, several times before sitting down next to Emery.

"Senior sister, you seem to be in high spirits... But since you've already arrived in the capital, why don't you just come to the palace to find me? Is the tea, pastries, and dancers in my palace inferior to those here?"

"I was just thinking that you, my junior sister, have just accomplished something great and are very busy."

Amelie smiled:

"Besides, this is my first time in Tianyun Imperial Capital. Many things look quite novel, so on a whim, I took my maid for a stroll around the streets."

"Maid..."

Upon hearing this word, Ji Xinyu turned her gaze back to Tianyin, a playful smile spreading across her lips.

"As expected of you, Senior Sister, you even managed to win her over... How about having your new maid pour me a cup of tea?"

Ji Xinyu wasn't too surprised by Tianyin's current state. After all, she had already seen Theresa Feiyue turned into a maid by Emeryte using divine magic, so it was normal for another senior disciple of the immortal sect to become a maid as well.

However, Ji Xinyu's relationship with Tianyin was clearly not good when they were in the Immortal Sect, which can be seen from the fact that Tianyin put on a sour face as soon as she saw Ji Xinyu.

Now that Ji Xinyu has specifically asked Tianyin to pour her tea, it's clear she's trying to humiliate her.

Emery glanced between the two with a look that seemed to enjoy watching a good show, then smiled and nodded, giving the order to Tianyin:

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and pour tea for my junior sister, and serve her well."

"...Yes, Miss."

Tenon bit her lip tightly and activated Thunder Breathing again, clearly unwilling to give up.

But despite her reluctance, she had no choice. Defeated and enslaved, she couldn't disobey Emery. Reluctantly, she picked up the teapot and poured tea for Ji Xinyu.

"I'm very unhappy to serve you."

"Hahaha... That's awesome!"

Ji Xinyu immediately burst into laughter, picked up the tea that Tianyin had poured, took a sip, and leaned back in her chair.

"Come here, little maid, give me a shoulder massage again."

"you……!"

Tianyin stared wide-eyed, clearly unwilling to agree, but Amelie glanced at her, leaving her no choice but to walk behind Ji Xinyu with a pitiful expression and massage Ji Xinyu's shoulders and back.

"Hahaha... This is so... awesome!"

In fact, Amane's massage skills were not good at all, and she also had a sour face. She was far from being a qualified maid.

But the emotional value that her previous identity brought to Ji Xinyu made Ji Xinyu extremely happy:

"So what if she's the senior disciple of the immortal sect? So what if she's the Fairy of Shenxiao? Doesn't she still have to obediently serve me tea and water, and massage my shoulders and back?"

"Hmph, a petty person who has gained power!"

Tianyin finally couldn't hold back any longer. Although her hands were still massaging Ji Xinyu and she couldn't disobey Amelie's orders, her mouth was free to speak:

"If it weren't for you, you damned traitor, how could the Immortal Sect be where it is today? If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you with a single sword strike without asking any questions back then!"

"Oh?"

Emerald finally heard something that interested her and quickly asked curiously:

"So you two had a grudge before? Come on, tell me about it, let me have a laugh too."

"It actually happened at the beginning of this year."

Ji Xinyu glanced at Tianyin, whose face was full of resentment, and chuckled:

“Senior Sister, didn’t you already tell me about the Dao Ancestor’s intention to merge with the Dao? So I started taking action after I came back… Do you remember the design blueprint for the protective array of the main peak of Yunshan that Fujiwara Momiji got for you through the black market? That was the result of my first action.”

"I am, after all, a member of the Ji royal family and a descendant of the Dao Ancestor. It's not unusual for someone of my status to be able to enter and leave the library of the Immortal Sect headquarters... It's a place that is usually difficult for Immortal Sect disciples to enter, but someone like me can just say hello and go in to check information."

"But what I didn't expect was... that was probably when I had just cultivated with you, Senior Sister, that this Fairy Shenxiao discovered the residual magic power in my body. So she directly dragged me into the Hall of Justice for interrogation, and she really tormented me."

At this point, Ji Xinyu was clearly angry as she recalled the situation, and she grabbed Tianyin by the neck and slammed her onto the table:

"How is it, Fairy Shenxiao? When you used the Divine Firmament True Thunder to torture me, did you ever imagine that you would end up like this?"

"I only regret that I was too soft-hearted and let you go because of insufficient evidence!"

Tianyin's strength was undoubtedly greater than Ji Xinyu's, but she knew very well that it would be meaningless for her to struggle, so she simply did not resist.

"Alright, alright, junior sister, don't be angry."

As it turned out, Tianyin's choice not to resist was correct, because Emery quickly grabbed the hand that Ji Xinyu was using to choke Tianyin, and soothed her by tickling her palm with her fingers:

"She's my maid now, and she still holds a high position in the hearts of the disciples of the Immortal Sect... If you want the Tianyun Empire to stabilize quickly, her help is indispensable. You two will have to cooperate well in the future."

"I know."

Ji Xinyu smiled and nodded, then glanced at Tianyin:

"It's a pity that she is, after all, the incredibly powerful Fairy of Shenxiao. Even now, as a maid, she is a priceless maid. I don't have anything that I can afford to buy her... Otherwise, I would really like to buy her from you, Senior Sister, and have her be my bed warmer."

The two chatted and laughed for a few more minutes. After the three dancers finished performing another song and dance, Ji Xinyu got up and invited Amelie to the palace.

Of course, Emery wouldn't refuse.

With her maid Tianyin by her side, she stepped into Ji Xinyu's luxurious private carriage first, under the watchful eyes of numerous royal guards and curious passersby on the streets of the capital, silently announcing the intimate relationship between herself and Ji Xinyu.

Ji Xinyu had originally planned to follow closely behind and get into the car, but as she walked out of the teahouse, she suddenly stopped, turned back to look at the teahouse owner, and waved to him:

"You, come here."

"This humble old man greets Your Majesty the Empress."

The teahouse owner immediately strode over and bowed respectfully.

"What are Your Majesty's orders?"

"What's your name? How many years have you been running this teahouse?"

Ji Xinyu asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, my surname is Zhang, and I am the third child in my family, hence the name Zhang San."

The teahouse owner replied respectfully:

"This teahouse was originally opened by my eldest brother, but he had no children, so after he passed away, he passed the teahouse on to me to continue running. It has been 26 years since then."

"I see..."

Ji Xinyu hesitated for a moment, then scanned the streets of the capital again, and suddenly raised her voice so that it could be heard clearly in the surrounding streets:

"As I have said, wealth and honor should belong to the capable!"

"After I ascend the throne, the appointment of all civil and military officials in the empire will be the same: only talent and merit will be considered, not bloodline or birth!"

"Those with talent will be given important positions, and those who make contributions will certainly be rewarded!"

"Someone come here!"

"Your Majesty, I am here."

The guards around Ji Xinyu immediately responded to her call.

Ji Xinyu then simply raised her hand and pointed at the teahouse owner:

"He treated my senior sister, who is also a distinguished guest of the empire, very well. He is a meritorious person of the empire and should be rewarded with ten thousand gold pieces!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately took out a money bag with storage space and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, took out a full ten thousand imperial gold coins and delivered them into the teahouse.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The teahouse owner immediately knelt down to express his gratitude:
