Emily was silent for a moment. She put out her cigarette and threw it into the trash can, her hands in her pockets. "Got it. I'll get someone to resupply the supplies as soon as possible."
"Okay." Yaxiao nodded and added seriously, "Not too much. The Marshal will recover in two days. If there is too much flour, we won't be able to use it all."
From beginning to end, the new housekeeper's focus was on the ingredients in the kitchen, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with Emily tying up a seriously injured man with an iron chain.
"knew."
Emily was at a loss for words. She tugged at the chain in her hand, and the bruised and battered man behind her staggered and groaned, looking both miserable and miserable.
"I'll continue my mission. See you another day."
Emily nodded to Yaxiao, not caring about the criminal's miserable condition at all, and walked decisively.
Originally, she thought that Yaxiao, who came from the central city, would be afraid of this scene, but now he was not afraid at all, and she didn't have to worry about his emotions anymore.
The new housekeeper is quite courageous.
Emily expressed the same sentiment as Mist.
The brave Yaxiao on the side didn't realize there was anything wrong with his performance.
In the demon world, there are often big demons leading the defeated around to show off. When seeing the scene just now, Yaxiao actually found it quite familiar.
However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but when he accidentally glanced at the criminal, he felt that the other's dirty face was somewhat familiar. The tip of Yaxiao's tail shook, and he realized belatedly that this man was the villain's younger brother, Qin Chen, one of the protagonists.
It turned out to be Qin Chen.
Yaxiao was originally very interested, but when he knew who it was, he looked away with a lack of interest.
He remembered that the other party was seriously injured by the villain in an alienated state last time, and it seems that he has not recovered yet.
Just as Yaxiao and Qin Chen passed by each other and were about to leave, Qin Chen, who was tied with chains and covered with scars, suddenly stopped.
"Are you his new butler?"
Qin Chen endured the pain in his body, his voice was a little unstable, but one could still hear the man's deep hatred for that 'him'.
Emily in front of him instantly realized that Qin Chen was going to do something bad. She was about to turn around and kick him sideways, but before she could move, she seemed to remember something and pulled the chain in her hand to warn him, "Don't say anything extra."
Qin Chen ignored him, breathing heavily, staring at Yaxiao with a complicated look, mixed with sympathy and hatred, as if he was looking at someone through Yaxiao.
"You will die sooner or later if you stay with Qin Qi." He said to the innocent housekeeper in a hoarse voice, "If you still want to live, don't stay in the Sixth Base."
This is incomprehensible.
But anyone who values life would feel his heart skip a beat after hearing this.
Emily was angry. She pulled the chain and punched Qin Chen hard on the head. Then she looked at Yaxiao and was about to remind Yaxiao not to believe his nonsense. The next second she saw Yaxiao's expression was a little confused.
"Emily, you knocked him out, are you okay?"
Emily: …
Yaxiao has been cramming the military rules these days. He doesn't want his good friend Emily to be punished, so he said nervously, "You knocked the criminal unconscious, will you be punished?"
"No." Emily was silent for a moment, then explained in a dry voice, "He maliciously slandered the superior without any evidence. According to the regulations, a one-time stop measure can be taken."
"That's good."
Yaxiao was relieved. He thought for a moment and said, "Let me help you transport him away."
Qin Chen, who was lying on the ground, was a man about 1.8 meters tall.
"Need not."
The boy opposite was slender and thin. Emily didn't think he could drag Qin Chen. In comparison, she felt that it was more important not to let Yaxiao believe Qin Chen's lies.
"The Marshal has been protecting the Sixth Base. No one loves the people of this base more than the Marshal. Yaxiao, don't believe the lies of this criminal traitor."
Emily didn't want to create a rift between Yaxiao and the Marshal because of Qin Chen's words.
"Yeah! I know!"
Yaxiao nodded seriously, his blue eyes showing a determined look, as if he had a perfect image of the Marshal in his mind, and no one could change his perception. "I admire the Marshal very much, and I am not going to leave the base."
Worship the Marshal
Emily was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that there would be a butler who would admire the marshal who didn't have a good reputation among many bases.
But if you think about it carefully, the Marshal is indeed a hero. If the frail butler from the central city did not admire the Marshal, his first reaction after seeing the alienated Marshal would definitely be to run away, rather than staying and continuing to take care of the Marshal.
She pursed her lips, the silver lip studs gleaming silver in the light, and the chains jingled as Emily moved. "In that case, I'll leave first. You should have a good rest."
After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for the little devil to respond.
"Okay."
Yaxiao watched the unconscious Qin Chen being dragged by the chains and sliding on the floor, while Emily put one hand in her pocket, effortlessly. He scratched his cheek and sincerely said to the system in his heart: [Fourth Uncle, Qin Chen is really so weak.]
[The current strength of the protagonists is indeed not as good as that of the villains.] The system agreed: [However, a big reason why Qin Chen was knocked unconscious is that he was seriously injured.]
However, he still prefers powerful villains.
Because of this episode, Yaxiao returned to his room to rest a little later than usual, which also meant that the time for caring for his tail and horns was delayed by a few minutes.
He carefully applied the care cream to his tail, massaging every part, thinking about what happened before, including Qin Chen's expression. Finally, he concluded in his heart:
[It seems that the shattering of the villain's glorious image really dealt a heavy blow to Qin Chen.]
Even a bit of hatred arose.
[right.]
The system agrees very much. [Who says it's not true? After all, the villain is a heroic figure at the beginning of the story. Although his reputation is not very good because of his harsh and harsh style, Qin Chen and the protagonist Wei Shi admire him very much.]
If the two of them had not accidentally discovered that the destruction of the Seventh Base was related to the villain, they would probably have been fans of the villain all their lives.
The plot does not clearly state how Qin Chen was injured.
Even the protagonist Wei Shi is not clear about the specific process, but he knows the cause and result of the incident clearly.
After Wei Shi and Qin Chen accidentally found out that the destruction of the Seventh Base might be related to the villain, the younger brother Qin Chen could not bear it anymore and went to question Qin Qi alone. In the end, he was seriously injured. From then on, his relationship with the two brothers became hostile.
[According to the development of the plot, the protagonists Wei Shi and Qin Chen will continue to collect clues about the destruction of the Seventh Base, trying to find the truth about the Seventh Base, and constantly causing trouble for the villains.] The system went through the next plot.
However, Yaxiao actually accepted all of this well. The reason why he suddenly mentioned this matter was because Qin Chen’s hatred for the Marshal was just the beginning.
After this, the Marshal will encounter many enemies who came because of the destruction of the Seventh Base, and will be attacked continuously.
[The villain cannot be hurt.]
Yaxiao bit his nails, his tail swaying behind him with a faint blue glow. He had already anticipated the situation afterwards: [If the villain is injured, not only will my demon value be absorbed slowly, but I will also have to be responsible for healing every day, which is a pure loss. ]
[So we need to prepare in advance and try to avoid the villains getting hurt.]
[Yes.] The system agrees.
As for what preparations to make and how to prepare them, Yaxiao hasn't figured it out yet. He wagged his tail, thinking it wouldn't be too late to think about it later.
The next day, Yaxiao started working as usual.
First, he delivered breakfast to his employer who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder on time at 7 o'clock, then poured tea, helped his employer choose cufflinks, and supervised his employer to take medicine...
After everything is done, Yaxiao will chat with the other party when they are resting, with a duration of no more than ten minutes, and the topic of the chat will be random, to promote the relationship between the two.
He looked at the villain sitting on the chair, his tail swaying behind him, although the villain was picky and troublesome, his behavior patterns were very fixed, and it was quite simple to deal with him once you figured it out.
Of course, what Yaxiao didn't know was that he would unconsciously avoid the irregular patterns mostly relying on his devilish intuition, while ordinary butlers would have no chance of avoiding those patterns at all.
"How was your night last night?"
The room was dimly lit. Qin Qi was playing with the special headphones in his hand. His eyes fell on the butler who was less than a meter away from him through the darkness. His tone was casual, as if he was just chatting.
Recalling what Emily said about Qin Chen, Qin Qi's eyes were filled with scrutiny.
"last night?"
Yaxiao was a little confused, and his tail hidden in his trousers shook a little. Because he didn't quite understand what the villain meant, he said according to his own thoughts: "Well, very good, and slept well."
Qin Qi said nothing.
He tilted his head slightly and looked at Yaxiao through the black lenses, and only looked away after a long time.
"After the physical examination tomorrow, if nothing unexpected happens, we can return to the base that day."
"OK."
An expression of joy instantly appeared on Yaxiao's face, and his tail couldn't stop wagging behind him.
Once the marshal recovers, he will be able to absorb more demonic power, and the healing that consumes magic power can be temporarily stopped. This is what he has been looking forward to for a long time!
When he thought of this, Yaxiao felt full of energy.
Qin Qi could sense that the other party was probably happy, but he didn't understand why. It couldn't be because he was going back to the base with him? Obviously, there was nothing to be happy about.
However, as long as the other party has no intention of breaking the contract, it is enough. Qin Qi tapped the table unconsciously with the index finger of his right hand.
"After you leave the fortress, you won't have to stay by my side all the time like you do now. When I'm working, you can arrange your time freely."
Qin Qi arranged calmly.
When he went to work at the military base headquarters, he generally did not need butler services.
Yaxiao, who was originally happy:…
In that case, can I not leave tomorrow
