[No wonder I didn’t see the villain carrying weapons before.] Yaxiao said to his uncle in his heart: [So it’s only now that it’s done.]
The system also nodded in agreement. It suddenly thought of something and shuddered. It quickly warned: [Host, the villain's hand bone claw chain is very dangerous. Don't go and fight the villain out of curiosity!]
Yaxiao's eyes wandered after his uncle guessed his thoughts. The tip of his tail also drooped. He said guiltily, "I never thought about it."
He was just thinking about it in his mind.
Villains with weapon bonuses are more powerful than before.
What demon could refuse to duel with a strong one
Thinking of Qin Qi's fighting ability, Yaxiao's tail vertebrae felt numb, and his combative factor was playing a role. He suppressed his excited heart and stared at Qin Qi's back with bright eyes, which were full of worship and admiration for the strong man.
Noticing the distance between the two, Yaxiao instinctively raised his foot without hesitation and leaned slightly towards Qin Qi. Being close to a strong man always makes the demon who admires the strong very happy.
Qin Qi noticed the actions of the butler next to him, and did not think much about it, just thinking that the other party was afraid of cold weapons.
He knew the characteristics of BNC17 better than anyone else. Qin Qi wore gloves and gently brushed the bone claws that shone with a dangerous luster. Every detail was tailor-made for him, and there was no inappropriateness. This was the most suitable weapon.
After making sure there was no problem, Qin Qi pressed the special mechanism of the bone claw, and instantly the sharp silver claw turned into an ordinary silver bracelet, which he casually put into his pocket.
Yaxiao originally wanted to take a few more glances.
This is a treasure that many people are fighting for in the plot. Although he has not figured out what is so special about this thing, he is not too disappointed.
There will be plenty of opportunities to observe that claw in the future.
What Yaxiao cares more about now is Qin Qi, who has become even more powerful after getting the weapon. According to the plot points, there are still nearly two years before Qin Qi ends his life.
Based on the current speed of absorbing demonic value, Yaxiao calculated and confirmed that he could grow bat wings before Qin Qi died, and instantly he no longer had any psychological burden.
In the next two years or so, he will definitely protect Qin Qi and not let him become weak!
"Marshal, we can eat now."
Yaxiao glanced at the time, and reminded her dutifully with a smile on his face, "I made some delicious meat porridge tonight."
"Um."
Qin Qi looked calm and followed Yaxiao into the kitchen.
A housekeeper is just a collaborator hired by oneself.
Unless there are special circumstances or he is busy with work, he will not be so lazy as to leave all the work to the housekeeper.
Looking at the dark purple meat porridge with a strange smell in the pot, Qin Qi scooped up the rice and brought it to the plate, without changing his expression.
The meals that Yaxiao cooks every time look different from those made by others, but they taste very good.
The two of them sat at the table. The atmosphere was very quiet. Only the slight sounds of eating could be heard in the air. Qin Qi was not used to talking while eating, and the same was true for Yaxiao.
Only by focusing on and quickly replenishing energy can you ensure that food will not be taken away by other demons. This is the food-protecting instinct of every low-level demon, and it is the same even now that Yaxiao has become a mid-level demon.
Employers and housekeepers who have many common habits get along very well.
Qin Qi looked at Yaxiao, who only seemed particularly quiet when eating. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why he didn't mind getting along with Yaxiao.
It is indeed very comfortable to be with Yaxiao.
Yaxiao had no idea what Qin Qi was thinking. After the meal, he ran to the courtyard of the villa with a kettle in hand. The flowers he planted were delicate when they were young. In addition to the temperature and humidity requirements, they had to be watered once in the morning and evening.
Yaxiao hummed a tune while watering the flowers, and occasionally glanced at the mall to pick out the latest toys.
Most of the decorative toys previously placed in the living room of the villa were destroyed by the out-of-control villains. Feeling distressed, Yaxiao decided to buy another batch, striving to make the decorative toys in the villa more beautiful and sturdy than the last batch.
Before I knew it, it was time to go to bed, which is Yaxiao’s favorite time recently!
He changed into his pajamas very consciously and ran to Qin Qi's room, intending to continue guarding the villain.
Because Yaxiao had told Qin Qi in advance that he would be guarding him at night for the next few days, Qin Qi was not surprised when he saw Yaxiao coming in, until he saw what he handed over.
"You bought it so quickly?"
Qin Qi's eyes moved slightly. The black pajamas were the same style as the ones on Yaxiao, but they were much larger.
"Um!"
The devil was very responsible for what he had promised. Since he had promised to buy the same pajamas for Qin Qi, Yaxiao would naturally not break his promise.
The black-haired boy with fair and soft skin nodded seriously, his tail swaying in his trousers, his blue eyes full of joy and excitement: "I bought it in the morning, and it arrived in the afternoon."
Qin Qi took the pajamas handed to him by the housekeeper and originally wanted to put them on later, but the black-haired boy stared at him with an expectant expression.
After a brief silence, Qin Qi raised his hand to unbutton his clothes and noticed that Yaxiao didn't seem to be looking away. He paused for a moment, but then felt that it was okay to be stared at, so he continued with his actions and changed into new pajamas.
After changing, Qin Qi met the boy's excited eyes before he could even thank him:
"I knew you would look very handsome in these pajamas, Marshal!"
Men who come from the military have tall and straight figures, broad shoulders and narrow waists, and smooth muscle lines. They will never look ugly in anything they wear.
"Yeah?"
Qin Qi tilted his head slightly and looked at his cuffs. This pair of pajamas should not be cheap. At least among all the pajamas he bought, this one was the most comfortable.
"Um!"
Yaxiao looked up at Qin Qi and nodded sincerely, his eyes full of pride. It was just as he thought, "Marshal, you have a great figure, and pajamas are especially suitable for you!"
The pure sincerity and appreciation in the boy's words made Qin Qi silent for a moment.
Yesterday he mentioned that Yaxiao's pajamas were nice in order to change the subject, but Qin Qi was telling the truth and was not going against his will. But no matter what, he couldn't let the other party give him clothes for free.
Qin Qi has secretly decided to raise Yaxiao's salary so as not to let the young man suffer any loss.
As for the fact that they both wore the same pajamas, neither Qin Qi nor Ya Xiao thought it was a big deal. After all, all the officers in the entire Sixth Base wore exactly the same uniforms.
Time passes in the blink of an eye.
Just like last night, Yaxiao successfully accumulated seven demon points. The next day, Yaxiao, who had achieved great success, wagged his tail in high spirits and followed Qin Qi to the base headquarters building.
After the villain entered the office, Yaxiao turned around and prepared to go to the butler's lounge to play for a while, but before he got there, Mist stopped him in the corridor.
"Yaxiao." Mist smiled at him, "Didn't I tell you before that you would go to the Fifth Base to attend the border meeting in three days? How are you preparing?"
Yaxiao shook the tip of his tail slightly and answered seriously, "We can leave at any time."
He is fully prepared to resolve the crisis!
At this border meeting, many people will come to assassinate the villain. What is different from the previous time is that this time the villain is not only not injured, but he brutally kills all the assassins without leaving a single one alive.
Because the means were too bloody and cruel, the incident caused a big stir. After the protagonists far away in other bases learned about it, they became more determined to defeat the villain.
From this point of view, there is actually no need for Yaxiao to deal with those assassins in advance, as the villains can handle it alone.
The plot has changed. He saved Victor who should have died, and no one was injured or killed at the birthday party. What if the villain is not as vigilant as in the plot because of this change, and he falls into the trap by accident
So Yaxiao decided to solve the problem once and for all by just killing them directly to save himself the worry.
Mist looked at the other person's curved expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He nodded and continued, "That's good. I came here this time to ask you, Emily, Vitdin and Sheng Cheng, are you going to take these three assistants to the fifth base?"
Yaxiao thought about it and refused: "Just take Emily and Vitedin."
He smiled obediently: "Sheng Cheng still needs to help me look up information. If he wants to go to the fifth base, his task will be too heavy."
Mist nodded after hearing this, "Okay, then I'll do as you say and report it directly."
Yaxiao curled his eyes and hummed briskly.
In the plot, Sheng Cheng had nothing to do with the assassination at the border meeting. In this case, Yaxiao felt that he could just stay in the base and handle the tasks he had assigned with peace of mind, so as to avoid causing any other trouble.
However, this incident reminded him that he had not yet assigned any task to Sheng Cheng today.
So Sheng Cheng, who had finally had some free time, had no time to enjoy his leisure time before he received a document from Yaxiao the next second.
The thirteen full pages were the workload for the next three days, and Sheng Cheng was so angry that he almost smashed the computer.
Hold on! To complete the mission, this little suffering is nothing!
Sheng Cheng suppressed his anger and worked like a workhorse to organize the information for several days. As a result, one day he accidentally overheard a conversation between his colleagues.
"Marshal and his men have already headed to the border base?"
"Why didn't Sheng Cheng follow?"
"I heard Sheng Cheng was too busy, so Ya Xiao sympathized with him and deliberately didn't let him follow."
Sheng Cheng: …
When did it happen? How come I didn't know? You call this arrangement of things compassionate?! Sheng Cheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. I must kill Yaxiao!
Sheng Cheng clenched his fists in anger and gritted his teeth, wanting to kill the butler madly. The spring meeting would be coming soon, and that would be a good opportunity. Thinking of the handsome black-haired boy trembling in fear, but could only wait in terror for the coming of death, he couldn't help but reveal a sense of satisfaction at the corner of his mouth.
The optical computer vibrated with a ding.
Sheng Cheng lowered his head and saw a text message.
[Shengcheng, thank you for your hard work. Here are the materials for the next week. Come on! ]
Attached is a document of nearly thirty-nine pages.
Sheng Cheng: ...Fuck
On the other side, Emily, who had a silver lip stud on her lips, noticed the movement of Yaxiao next to her and thought something had happened.
"It's okay. I'll ask Shengcheng to help me look up some information." Yaxiao swung his tail hidden in his trouser leg.
Emily hummed. There was nothing much to say. Sheng Cheng was very good at searching for information, so it was normal for him to be entrusted with important tasks.
"Has the airship left our base yet?"
Yaxiao looked out of the window through the flying ship. The sun was scorching, the sky was full of dust, and the dust and ruins on the ground were piled up together, making it look extremely desolate.
"It will take about five minutes."
Emily prompted.
Yaxiao nodded obediently. He looked down at the time on the computer and saw that the villain had been in a meeting for nearly half an hour and no one knew when he would come out.
Now they are on their way to the fifth base. The two bases are right next to each other and the distance is not far. If nothing goes wrong, they will reach their destination in the afternoon.
Yaxiao scrolled through his laptop for a few seconds, occasionally talking to his fourth uncle in his mind, or chatting with Emily, and time passed not slowly.
The flying ship was moving slowly, and the originally desolate desert scene gradually changed. Yaxiao looked over curiously, and then he saw an overwhelming black shadow, which was roaring and rushing towards the direction of the flying ship like a dark cloud.
As a demon, Yaxiao has very good eyesight and can easily see that the distant black shadow is actually composed of densely packed black flying insects. Each of them has red compound eyes, with serrations as sharp as blades and black stinging needles, faintly revealing a dangerous aura.
With the devil's intuition, Yaxiao could feel that if the black shadow really hit, the flying ship would be completely devoured in less than a second.
However, unexpectedly, the black shadows did not actually hit them. When they were about to rush up, an invisible arc-shaped barrier five hundred meters away stopped them.
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment.
"Is this the first time you've seen the outer barrier?" Emily remembered that the other party had always lived in the central city and had probably never seen such a formation.
Yaxiao nodded, his eyes brightening up. It turned out that this was the barrier that had been guarding the base.
This world is infested with demonic insects, and apart from the central city, there are only eight bases left for human survival. An invisible barrier has always been protecting the bases and the humans.
Yaxiao stood in front of the window and watched with great interest for a long time. After watching for about ten minutes, he looked away and planned to go to the kitchen to get some snacks to continue watching.
After Emily knew Yaxiao's plan, she waved at him. The kitchen of the flying ship was not far from the corridor, only a minute's walk away, and she was not going to go with Yaxiao.
Just emphasized, "Come back soon."
"OK."
Yaxiao wagged his tail and smiled happily.
At the same time, two butlers in tuxedos were sighing in the kitchen.
They are the stewards of the Fourth Base.
To be more precise, the taboo master Renik from the Fourth Base lost control at the wedding banquet and was forcibly detained by the Sixth Base, and the two of them were the butlers responsible for taking care of Renik.
"It's too tragic. I just saw that Renik's mental state is not right. If this negotiation doesn't go well, Renik may be ruined."
"The Marshal of the Sixth Base is really..."
The voices were getting weaker and weaker. They really didn't have the courage to say bad things about each other in each other's territory.
But in the end, anger took over their rationality, and the two of them couldn't help but mutter, "I heard that the current butler also wanted to break the contract and resign, but now that he's his butler, he can't run away even if he wants to. It's really too bad..."
Before the word "pity" was uttered, a clear and cheerful voice came from the side.
"No, I'm very happy now and I don't plan to resign for the time being."
The two butlers' hearts skipped a beat. They turned around and saw a black-haired boy squatting next to them with a smile on his face. It was unknown how long he had been listening.
Two housekeepers: …
