Chapter 709: Chapter 695 Xiaobai, Minion

"Is it really that dangerous? But his profile describes him as steady and cheerful, which doesn’t sound like someone who would start fighting at the drop of a hat." Xia Yue was a bit confused.

Dragon Lord Ao Ye gave her a look and said, "If it wasn’t written like that, how would there be idiots like you willing to hire him?"

Xia Yue: "..."

"System, are the resumes in your Talent Market also this unreliable?" Xia Yue immediately called out to the System to ask.

[The personality listed on his resume does match his actual character, it’s just that the part about hitting people upon disagreement wasn’t written down. That’s why it was allowed to pass during System verification.

Moreover, he only resorts to fighting when the other party has truly done something bad; otherwise, he really is quite amiable and can take a joke.] The System quickly explained, reassuring her that System verification is quite strict and anyone listed in the Talent Market has been thoroughly investigated.

They also worry that the Host might hire some tough characters, fail to complete the task, and then get ’whacked’ by them.

"Really? Don’t kid me." Xia Yue was now thoroughly baffled by their two completely different statements.

[You are my Host, I am here to assist you in completing tasks. If you’re doing well, so am I; I have no reason to deceive you.] The System would only consider bluffing if it had accumulated enough Energy, and even then, only if it disliked the person.

"Then I’ll wait and see if he replies to me. If we confirm the entertainment project and he still hasn’t responded, I’ll just find someone else," Xia Yue said.

[That’s also an option. After all, there is still some time before Sky City and Undersea Castle are opened; you can take your time.] The System agreed with her decision.

"Dragon Lord, I’m going to have breakfast, do you want to come with me?" Xia Yue turned to ask Dragon Lord Ao Ye.

"Go." Dragon Lord Ao Ye showed a flash of hesitation in his eyes but quickly made up his mind.

He jumped onto Xia Yue’s shoulder.

The System landed on her other shoulder.

Xia Yue felt like she was carrying two heavy loads.

"I think you two should eat less and lose some weight. After all, you won’t starve to death if you don’t eat," Xia Yue said as she took them both out, making a little dig at them.

[I hardly weigh a few pounds. If you’re struggling with this little weight, you’re too weak. You really need to strengthen your contact. Right, Dragon Lord?] The System touched its whiskers with its paw, scolded her for a bit, then sought Dragon Lord Ao Ye’s agreement.

"Indeed, together we probably weigh less than forty pounds. There’s no need for us to lose weight; this isn’t too heavy. If you can’t carry this much, you really do need to train more rigorously. I’ll put together a new training plan for you," Dragon Lord Ao Ye nodded and suggested to Xia Yue.

After hearing their remarks, Xia Yue’s face changed as she forced a smile, "How could I not carry both of you? I was just making a comment. Even if there were two more of you, I’d still manage."

Dragon Lord Ao Ye stuck out his head, saw her stiff smile, and shook his head amused.

[Is that so? Well, that’s good then.] The System nodded earnestly.

Suppressing her dissatisfaction, Xia Yue kept a straight face as she arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

"Good morning Boss, good morning Xiaobai, good morning Dragon Venerable," Ziluo greeted them with a smile from behind the reception desk as they entered.

"Good morning, Ziluo. I just remembered something. Didn’t you say you were going to give me a panda cub? It should be born by now, right?" Seeing Ziluo, Xia Yue immediately ran up to her, looking at her expectantly.

"Wait a second, let me check on the situation. If the panda mother hasn’t abandoned it, I can’t just take it from her to give to you," Ziluo remembered the promise upon being reminded and responded with a smile.

"Right, check on it quickly. I’m going to get breakfast," Xia Yue nodded.

"Alright, we should know by tonight," Ziluo nodded, calculating the time before giving her an approximate time.

As Xia Yue was about to enter the Dining Hall with System and Dragon Lord Ao Ye, she heard System shout:

[Wait a second, did you just call me Xiaobai?] System was briefly confounded by Ziluo’s use of "Xiaobai," and only reacted when Xia Yue was about to leave, staring at Ziluo with wide cat eyes.

"Yeah, look how white you are. ’Ruo Xue’ is too much of a mouthful, whereas ’Xiaobai’ just rolls off the tongue," Ziluo nodded in agreement.

[You’re Xiaobai, your whole family is Xiaobai! Such a silly name isn’t worthy of me; even ’Xiaoxue’ would be better than ’Xiaobai’.] System immediately bristled and roared back at Ziluo.

"Now that you’re angry and your fur is all puffed up, you look even cuter," Ziluo said with a laugh, watching its reaction.

[Dare to call me Xiaobai, and I’ll start calling you ’Xiao Luo Luo’.] System threatened her.

"You’re the ’little minion’, I am a mountain deity," Ziluo disagreed, countering directly.

[Little minion, little minion, little minion!] System, seeing her getting riled up, repeated vengefully several times.

"Enough, shut it, both of you. What’s there to fight about? It’s just a nickname," Xia Yue said, holding System and covering its mouth, clearly annoyed with their argument.

"Let’s leave it at that. You call it Xiaobai, and it calls you little minion, let’s call it even. There are guests arriving; we should go in and have dinner," noticing guests at the door, Xia Yue said to Ziluo before heading toward the Dining Hall, holding System.

[Why are you covering my mouth? You’re biasing her; our relationship is the closest!] System couldn’t speak, so it started complaining in her mind, accusing Xia Yue.

"I’m doing this for your own good. Look at you now, in the form of a cat, while she is a human. She can call you Xiaobai in front of others, but you can’t just call her ’little minion’ in front of everyone.

Otherwise, you could be mistaken for a Cat Demon and get captured.

By asking both of you to be quiet, I’m helping you," Xia Yue explained.

[Really? There’s no favoritism towards her?] The System asked, looking into her eyes.

"Of course, it’s true. Even though we often argue, you’re still kind of good to me; I can’t let you be at too much of a disadvantage, can I?" Xia Yue nodded earnestly.

[That’s good then.] System finally felt satisfied and then told her, [Make her promise she won’t call me Xiaobai, or I’ll have the Resort Area broadcast her nickname ’little minion’ on loop.

I could even hack her phone to stop her from using it and keep calling her ’little minion’.]

System remembered that it could control the Resort Area Defense System and various networked systems.

"Alright, alright, I’ll talk to her later," Xia Yue nodded, also remembering this.

Indeed, the least forgivable people are always those powerful deities.

Dragon Lord Ao Ye watched their conversation without interjecting since it wasn’t directed at him.

"Good morning, Boss Xia. How fortunate, bringing two cats with you for breakfast so early," someone noticed Xia Yue holding two cats and said with envy.

"Good morning, it’s alright, not bad," Xia Yue responded with a smile.

Worried about encountering too many people and having to greet each one, which wasn’t her forte in dealing with strangers, she thought it best to avoid them as quickly as possible.
