Ever since Qin Qi absorbed the fragments, Yaxiao's efficiency in absorbing the demonic value has skyrocketed. Up to now, he has absorbed nearly four-fifths of it. According to the current rate, he will be able to accumulate enough magic power to grow bat wings in at most two weeks and completely transform into a high-level demon.
This speed is much faster than Yashao and the system originally expected.
Yaxiao couldn't help but look forward to going to the battlefield even more.
I finally became stronger, how can I not give it a try
Such a powerful insect queen will definitely give you a thrilling battle!
Of course, Yaxiao did not deny that he did this to help Qin Qi. In order to kill the insect mother, Qin Qi did not hesitate to absorb fragments that might bring great side effects to his body. Obviously, this matter is more important to the villain than life.
The villain is so good, Yaxiao wants to lend a helping hand to Qin Qi, not to mention, this is an action that kills two birds with one stone.
He counted on his fingers and felt that if he could accomplish this, it would be a good thing for everyone.
[Host, the villain may not agree to your going to the battlefield.] The system reminded beside him.
Yaxiao is a "fragile" butler. Considering that the villain may like his own host, the system is very suspicious and Yaxiao's plan to go to the battlefield is impossible to achieve.
"What Fourth Uncle said makes sense."
Yaxiao nodded seriously in agreement. It was not mandatory for a butler to go to the battlefield in his duties. He had to find someone with experience to ask about the relevant matters first.
If the butler cannot go to the battlefield, he needs to find a way to go there under the identity of "Crow Step".
The butler's lounge was empty except for Yaxiao, and when he quieted down, the whole room was completely silent.
Yaxiao sat on the bench, lowered his head, opened the light brain, found the chat interface with his housekeeper friends, and asked them whether they had followed the marshal to the battlefield.
Yan Chi’s answer was the fastest.
[Of course, I will follow you to the battlefield every time. ]
When the Fourth Base Marshal's butler, Burton, saw this answer, he immediately mocked: "That's right, not every butler can be as strong as you and serve as an officer on the battlefield."
[Congratulations on living up to your talent.]
Yan Chi gladly accepted this evaluation and said modestly: [No, it’s just the basic operation of the fifth base’s housekeeper.]
Burton: [I'm not praising you.]
The two butlers who were at odds with each other were not on the same page and started targeting each other in the chat interface. However, Gabe, who was the most thoughtful in the chat group, noticed Yaxiao's intention and asked: [Yaxiao, do you want to go to the battlefield with the Marshal? ]
[There is such a plan.]
Yaxiao replied truthfully that since Yan Chi was able to follow him to the battlefield, it meant that the housekeeper allowed him to follow.
Realizing this, Yaxiao's tail shook unconsciously a few times.
It would be more convenient if you could go with your real identity!
Gabe saw this answer and thought to himself, as expected. He then told Yaxiao about his situation: [I have never been to the battlefield like Yan Chi.]
[The butler's physical fitness is not as good as that of the officers. It is very dangerous on the battlefield. Even if you stay in the fortress, you are likely to encounter insect swarms. Yaxiao, you have not received military training, so I do not recommend you to follow him to the battlefield.]
After Burton and Yan Chi realized that Yaxiao wanted to go to the battlefield, they immediately stopped fighting. Burton advised: "Gabe is right. The front line is very dangerous. My employer has never forced me to go to the battlefield."
Yan Chi was afraid that Yaxiao would be influenced by him, so he quickly replied: [Yes, Yaxiao, I once received military training and then became a housekeeper. I have no problem going to the battlefield, but you have not received training, so you must think carefully before going to the battlefield! ]
Yaxiao looked at the housekeeper's friends' continuous words of dissuasion and curled his eyes without showing any impatience.
His white fingertips tapped on the screen and wrote tactfully: [I will think about it carefully.]
Of course, no matter how much he considered it, it would not shake Yaxiao's decision.
Seeing his three friends on the screen relieved, Yaxiao's eyes fell on Gab's avatar frame.
Gabe is the steward of Marshal Lu Chuanxi of the Eighth Base.
The ending of the Eighth Base in the original book was very tragic. Marshal Lu Chuanxi was finally killed in the front line. If I am not mistaken, it might have been during the marshals' operation to wipe out the demon insects.
The Eighth Base
Yaxiao was thoughtful. This base was mainly used for weapons research, so it was not surprising that the demon insects wanted to capture the eighth base as soon as possible.
The computer screen went black, reflecting the boy's slightly furrowed brows.
The current plot has deviated slightly from the original book's plot. No one knows whether the Demon Insect's future plans will be the same as in the original book, preparing to attack the Eighth Base first.
Complex thoughts surged in his mind, but after a moment, he dispelled these thoughts. He had to go to the battlefield anyway, and it would not be too late to think about these things on the battlefield. Yaxiao returned to his original carefree self.
There were sounds of conversation coming from outside the butler's lounge.
Yaxiao glanced at the time and estimated that the marshal's work had been finished, so he went to Qin Qi's office on time.
As soon as he arrived at the office door, Mist came out. Yaxiao originally wanted to ask whether there had been any housekeepers from the Sixth Base who went to the battlefield before, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.
If Mist knew about this, Qin Qi would soon know it too.
Yaxiao thought it would be better for him to talk about this matter himself.
So, when Qin Qi and Yaxiao returned to the villa as usual, Qin Qi heard Yaxiao say that he wanted to go to the battlefield with him.
"Marshal, I won't cause you any trouble!"
The boy in a tuxedo had serious blue eyes and said, "So, can you let me go to the front line with you?"
Qin Qi paused.
They had not yet entered the villa, but had just reached the courtyard. The black sea of bone-eating flowers on both sides swayed in the wind. Qin Qi looked at Yaxiao's expression, his eyes darkened. He did not directly agree to Yaxiao's request, but asked an irrelevant question: "How did you know?"
Going to the battlefield is a common occurrence.
However, it was clear from Yaxiao's words that he knew they would be heading to the front line soon.
Did Mister tell Yasho
Qin Qi pursed his lips slightly, and after hearing Yaxiao's denial, his dark eyes fell on the boy's face.
"That's what Marshal Wistar said."
Yaxiao explained obediently. Thinking of Qin Qi's request that he not talk to Westa, he couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Marshal Westa came to me specially before. We added each other on the optical brain account and now we are good friends."
Vista.
Qin Qi clenched the simulated eyeball in his hand slightly, and the corners of his mouth were pursed into a cold straight line, as if he had found an outlet for venting. He lowered his head and said to Yaxiao:
"You want to go to the battlefield?"
Yaxiao looked at Qin Qi expectantly, his eyes shining, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes."
"no."
Qin Qi said in a cold and hard tone. Before this, he would hardly refuse Yaxiao, but this time he seemed a little ruthless.
After saying this, Qin Qi turned around and entered the villa.
There were demonic insects rampant on the front line, so he couldn't let the boy go with him.
Qin Qi knew that Yaxiao might go to the battlefield to help him, but there was no need to do so. That would only put Yaxiao in danger. He just needed to stay in the safest place.
"Why not, Marshal? I asked other butlers, and they all said that butlers can follow their employers to the battlefield." The young man followed closely, his tone seeming a little aggrieved.
Qin Qi didn't say anything. He felt heavy in his heart, and his fingers holding the simulated eyeballs were a little stiff.
What Yaxiao said was indeed right. The butler could go to the battlefield. Qin Qi felt an itch in his throat.
As a marshal, he could give many reasons, such as the emergency battle situation, personnel allocation, or directly issuing orders as a marshal, but in the end, Qin Qi did not answer the young man.
It was his selfish desire not to let Yaxiao go to the battlefield.
It has nothing to do with the identity of the marshal.
Yaxiao puffed up his cheeks and looked at the door that was closed in front of him. He realized that Qin Qi wanted to be alone and quiet.
He did not knock on the door, but returned to his room instead. His blue eyes were somewhat puzzled, and he asked in confusion: "Fourth Uncle, why didn't the villain agree to me?"
Yaxiao also specifically asked several of his housekeeper friends. Although they all said that the front line was dangerous, it cannot be denied that Burton and Yan Chi had both been to the battlefield, so he should be able to go to the front line as well.
[“Yaxiao” is an ordinary person, Qin Qi is worried about your safety. ]
The system thought back to Qin Qi's performance just now, and felt that Qin Qi must really like the host. It took a sip of data tea and expressed its thoughts truthfully.
It will not mislead the host, nor will it conceal Qin Qi's emotions.
Yaxiao actually knew that Qin Qi was worried about him. Although Yaxiao felt a little disappointed because Qin Qi did not agree to him, he felt warm in his heart. However, this could not stop his determination to go to the battlefield.
"I will eventually get Qin Qi to agree!"
There is nothing the devil can't do!
At the same time, Qin Qi also dialed Vista's computer number.
"How strange! You would send me a message..."
Before he could even utter the word "video", Westar met Qin Qi's cold gaze. He swallowed the words directly. He laughed awkwardly and asked tentatively, "Did you know that I have been in contact with Yaxiao privately?"
This is not difficult to guess, he did such a thing recently.
Seeing Qin Qi's cold expression, without denying it, Wista immediately raised three fingers, "I swear, I didn't do anything!"
In fact, Vista was not quite sure what Qin Qi was angry about. After thinking about it, he could only guess that Qin Qi was jealous of her chatting with his lover. Tsk, men in love are so scary. They are jealous of everything.
"You shouldn't reveal things on the front line."
Qin Qi didn't know what was going on in Westal's mind, and his face looked slightly gloomy.
Wista was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Why? Yaxiao wants to go to the front line with you?"
Qin Qi did not deny it.
"Is this true?" Westa was a little surprised.
Although the butlers can go to the battlefield, when you count them carefully, there are really only a few who go there on their own initiative.
No one is perfect. The superior mental strength of the butlers limits their physical strength. Even the butlers with domineering personalities in their base are very different from the officers who have been trained in real gunfire and hail of bullets.
This is an innate condition, like a natural chasm that cannot be crossed at all.
"Ya Xiao likes you too much, no wonder you fell in love with him."
Westa sighed with a complicated tone, how could Qin Qi be so lucky to encounter such pure and selfless love
The sharp gaze from the opposite side cut across his skin like a knife. Westar's heart skipped a beat, and he realized belatedly that he seemed to have said something he shouldn't have said. He immediately sat up straight, trying to make up for it, and then he saw Qin Qi retract his gaze.
"When did you figure that out?"
Qin Qi's eyes were calm, his surging emotions suppressed under the surging undercurrent.
Westa had a lot to say when talking about this. He started from the time he saw Qin Qi's unusual attitude towards Yaxiao, then talked about his own doubts, and finally talked about his desire to become Yaxiao's apprentice.
"According to what the master said, I can confess to my soulmate recently, and the success rate is very high! If you have time, can you give me some advice?"
"When the time comes, I'll let you be my best man at my wedding." Westal couldn't help but show a hint of joy when he said this.
"You mean, Yaxiao knows that I like him?"
Qin Qi's voice was a little difficult.
"should know."
In fact, Westa didn't quite remember what kind of nonsense he and Yaxiao talked about at that time, but when he mentioned the relationship, Yaxiao didn't deny it. Westa felt that there was a high possibility that Yaxiao knew all this.
"If it were you, I'd say you should confess your feelings and settle down as soon as possible. Maybe the other person has been waiting for you to take the initiative. For people like us who have been through life and death together, we never know when we might die. Time waits for no one..."
Before Westal could finish his words, Qin Qi mercilessly turned off the computer.
Yaxiao has been waiting for him.
Qin Qi thought of what Westa had just said and clenched his fists. The simulated eyeball in his palm was squeezed to half of its original size due to the force.
His throat was a little dry and his body was a little hot. If it were peacetime, Qin Qi would immediately walk up to Yaxiao and tell the boy all the turbulent emotions in his heart.
But it's not possible now.
He didn't deserve Yashao, even though the boy might have the same feelings as him.
Qin Qi's dark eyes stared at the simulated eyeball in his hand as he just sat on the chair.
It was not until there was a knock on the door and Yaxiao's inquiring voice came in that Qin Qi gradually came back to his senses.
"Come in."
Qin Qi's voice was a little hoarse because he hadn't drunk water for a long time.
"Marshal, it's time to eat."
After saying that, Yaxiao heard Qin Qi hum.
The man sitting on the chair stood up and walked slowly to the door of the study. Yaxiao, who was standing at the door, slightly moved aside to make way for him.
As the two passed each other, Yaxiao suddenly said, "Marshal, I'm very powerful. You said before that my fighting skills are up to standard, so even if I go to the battlefield with you, I can protect myself."
Yaxiao felt that since Qin Qi was worried about his safety, he just needed to prove himself.
He looked up at Qin Qi and said firmly, "Marshal, I have been practicing fighting. If you don't believe me, you can fight me again!"
If Qin Qi disagrees, Yaxiao thought, he would think of other ways.
"Need not."
Yaxiao was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Why is Qin Qi so stubborn? If there is no other choice, he can just go to the battlefield as Crow Step.
"No need to compete, you can go to the front line with me."
Qin Qi's Adam's apple moved slightly and his voice was hoarse.
Yaxiao was stunned for a moment, then his expression became happy: "Yes, Marshal!"
The scene of sparring in the fighting arena was still vivid in his mind. The waist that had been hooked seemed to still remember the boy's strength. Qin Qi's eyelashes drooped slightly. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and avoided the boy's shining eyes.
It would be a good idea to take him there. Perhaps by facing the madness on the battlefield, the boy would realize that he and he were not from the same world.
Qin Qi walked out of the study, his back looking no different than usual.
Yaxiao followed closely behind him, with the corners of his mouth raised and cheering in his heart.
I don’t know why the villain suddenly changed his mind, but it’s great!
