"...What? Because we're going to relocate a large number of industries to China, we need to conduct a nationwide inspection that will last for almost half a year. We're flying out in a couple of days?"
Inside the office, Pear blinked her large, bright eyes.
Ziling's mother was engrossed in revising the manuscript at the moment, and without looking up, she said, "You know that's enough, you don't need to repeat what I said, okay? You're wasting time like this!"
Pear looked at her super big brother with suspicion. As the saying goes, the colder the reaction, the bigger the problem is... She quietly drew the curtains in the office, and then suddenly slammed her hands on the table in front of Ziling's mother!
嘭？
"...What are you doing? You scared me!" Ziling's mother was genuinely frightened.
Then Pear said with a serious expression, "Sister, even like this... why aren't you reacting at all?!"
"How should I react?" Ziling's mother paused for a moment, then subconsciously said, "The child is all grown up, he's married, and he has his own career. Do you think I'd lock him up?"
"No!" Pear took a deep breath. "Sis, I'm flying away in a couple of days. How about we throw a farewell party for me...? How about we treat myself to a meal at your daughter-in-law's hotel?!"
Ziling's mother immediately smiled.
Pear also revealed her true intentions with a smile.
A small wooden hammer used for massaging shoulders suddenly slammed into Pear's head. "Are you really that free? If you're so free, why don't you go and change all the printing paper in all the printers in our company!"
"..."
"Go now!!" Zi Ling's mother roared!
Pear immediately covered her head and slid out of the editor-in-chief's office, closing the door behind her with her foot—it was incredibly smooth—before heading straight for the break room!
Changing the paper was out of the question; it seemed like the only option was to sneak into the break room and grab some of the company's free snacks.
Seeing where this guy went, Ziling's mom knew where Pear had run off to, and couldn't help but roll her eyes... She sighed and looked at the computer screen—where was the composure on her face?
It was slightly chilly in early spring.
A farewell party?
Ziling's mother rested her chin on her hands, held a pencil under her nose, and stared blankly at the ceiling... Suddenly, an idea struck her, so she picked up the phone, quickly scrolled to the "god-daughter" page in the contact list, and sent a message.
……
……
【Qilin City】...A community & pet hospital of unknown origin within a certain neighborhood.
Luo Pianxian, who was working at the front desk, and Dr. Ji Ran, who was chatting and slacking off with Xiao Dieyao at the front desk, suddenly felt a gust of wind.
"...Did something just rush out?" Ji Ran asked subconsciously.
"It looks like... Sister Long?"
……
Meanwhile, the Dragon Sister that Little Butterfly Fairy mentioned had already rushed into a black Audi A4.
"Advisor Long, where are you going..."
Before the driver could even ask, Ah Xiruo's face darkened as she said, "Hurry... get out of Qilin City within twenty-five minutes, and then get back to the old city within half an hour! If you're even a second late, you'll be cleaning toilets for a month!"
hiss--! !
The driver immediately took a tactical breath—after all these years of successfully passing the exam to become a permanent, dedicated driver for the [Qilin City] Management Bureau branch, I've finally... finally caught this opportunity!
"Please, hold on tight!" The driver took a deep breath, revved the engine to 500 km/h, and then launched off. "I am the driving god of Jigong Mountain, and I'll make a fool of myself!"
"???"
……
Of course, in Ah Xiruo's eyes, the speed of the Jigong Mountain racing god was like a tortoise crawling—but there was nothing she could do, since this was [Qilin City], where basically all beings were equal!
Having already explored the area quite a few times and gained some experience, Shenzhou Zhenlong couldn't help but secretly complain: "Could it be that I haven't managed to seduce that guy yet... or that he doesn't even know how to exempt me from the restrictions of [Qilin City]!"
Don't you know this is very inconvenient?!
Where have you been gallivanting off to these past few days...? Is the shop still open or not? Don't you need to do business anymore?
My thoughts are broken, my thoughts are broken.
"Advisor Long, you have successfully arrived at your destination at 52 minutes and 56 seconds! You did not run any red lights!"
"...The Jigongshan racing legend, right? You did a good job. Wait for me here!"
"Ok!"
Jigongshan's racing god nodded, quickly got out of the car and opened the door... watching Consultant Long, whose height had shrunk as they left the city, jog into the streets of the old town, selectively forgetting his memories.
—A confidentiality agreement was signed!
In addition, the part-time nanny currently taking care of [Long'er] has also signed a confidentiality agreement—by the way, that nanny is actually the wife of the Jigongshan racing god!
"Isn't this Long'er? You're back from visiting family?"
"Come on, even though the New Year is over, we still have to give out lucky money!"
"Long'er, your uncle's cat can do backflips, would you like to know?"
"Get out of here, you pervert!!"
The aroma of cooking wafted over from the neighborhood, but Ah Xi Ruo didn't have time to greet them—the nanny had already made all the arrangements!
She skillfully took out her key, opened the door, and went inside. As soon as she entered, she saw the nanny standing in the entryway wiping the cabinet.
Without hesitation, Ah Xi Ruo said, "Is the computer on? Is the case hot enough? And are all those comic books I bought last time hidden under the bed? Remember not to hide them too obviously! Why is the trash can so clean? Get me some junk food bags, I've told you so many times!"
The nanny's eyes twitched as if her eyebrows were twitching.
"Are you crazy?" Ah Xi Ruo said irritably.
The nanny quietly pointed her finger at the living room, which was blocked by the entryway cabinet.
Ah Xi Ruo was stunned for a moment, her pupils narrowed... The worst outcome would be that Zi Ling's mother arrived early and overheard them—at worst, she could just confront them!
This goddaughter wouldn't even be a dog anymore!
She breathed a sigh of relief, went straight into the living room, and was instantly dumbfounded!
On the sofa sat a maid who exuded textbook-level elegance!
"Advisor Long... This woman was already here when I arrived. I don't know how she got in. She said..." The aunt leaned closer and whispered.
"Alright, go buy groceries and get busy! I'll deal with... no, I'll handle her!" Ah Xi Ruo waved her hand and said.
The nanny, quite perceptively, picked up her shopping basket and went downstairs—based on her years of experience as a middle-aged woman from Jigong Mountain… there must be some untold story between Consultant Long and this blonde beauty!
……
Their eyes met, devoid of emotion, yet sparks flew.
"What's wrong?" Ah Xiruo sat down abruptly, crossed her arms, and crossed her short legs. "Coming here to cause trouble? Is this interesting?"
"Coming to the door?" The maid casually put down her teacup and smiled calmly, "Miss Long, the door you mentioned... seems to be the one I came in through first."
"…Spit it out!" Ah Xiruo clicked her tongue.
The maid said directly, "Miss Long, would you be interested in leaving here temporarily? Master recently bought a pirate ship and plans to embark on a new journey into the void."
Ah Xiruo was first stunned, then her eyes widened, and then she looked at the ruthless maid with disbelief—finally she frowned and remained silent for a long while.
The maid didn't rush them.
It was a slightly chilly early spring day, but the sunlight was just right. On the balcony, a cat that had been stealing fish was walking by with half a salted fish it had picked up from who-knows-where in its mouth.
Light and dust scattered along every beam of light, and the air was filled with the aroma of red tea and sunshine.
"Whose idea is this?" Ah Xiruo suddenly asked expressionlessly.
The maid chuckled softly, "It was my suggestion. I asked my master."
Ah Xiruo's expression shifted, and she clicked her tongue, saying, "You would be so kind?"
The maid said, "I asked Master, but of course... Master doesn't need to answer this kind of question. Besides, since I brought it up, I should take on the corresponding responsibility and invite you to come."
Ah Xiruo suddenly sneered, "You tricked me into leaving so that you could continue doing some dark things in this world without anyone stopping you, right?"
The maid said calmly, "Miss Long, do you still have any intention of interfering with... your master's plans?"
Ah Xiruo suddenly felt breathless... She used to be quite tough, but recently she has lost her toughness and her bottom line has been lowered again and again, to the point of almost being blind to everything.
"Only one invader from the realm of Asgard has arrived," Ah Xiruo pondered. "If I leave now, what will become of the people of this world?"
The maid said calmly, "Isn't there still that ship? As long as its defense system isn't disarmed, even the army of [Heaven] can't break in... Miss Long, what is there to worry about?"
"[Heavenly Kingdom]?" Ah Xiruo frowned. "One of the largest forces in the [Mythological Side]?"
At this stage, Ah Xi Ruo was not completely ignorant about the void. Whether it was the prisoners of the Asgardian realm, Carol (B) who was teaching the old man a foreign language, or even Bing Lun, they all provided her with a lot of information!
It can be said that the high-ranking officials and world leaders of various countries in the 003 small world are currently absorbing those distant and unknown basic knowledge like sponges—it's just that it hasn't been made public to ordinary people yet.
Seeing that the maid didn't answer her question, Ah Xi Ruo frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Why...why do you want me to come along?"
The maid said expressionlessly, "It's not that I want to, but that Master needs you. Although I hate to admit it, your existence does have a certain unpredictable influence on Master, and it seems to be positive so far. That's the reason."
—Got it!
Ah Xiruo cursed inwardly. Putting aside the dog man's attitude, this black-hearted bitch's intentions were very obvious!
"Sorry, I'm not interested." Ah Xi Ruo couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
The maid didn't seem surprised at all, and simply nodded. "Okay, then, I'll take my leave for today... Just a reminder, Miss Ren encountered traffic on the way and will probably arrive a little later. So Miss Long, you still have plenty of time to prepare... the computer."
Ah Xiruo subconsciously opened her mouth slightly.
—No, that's it? What's next? No more dragging things out? I've prepared myself to give it my all!
—Got it!
—This heartless bitch had no intention of getting me on board at all; she just perfected her manipulative skills and used this pretense to impress that scoundrel with her generosity!
—We've fallen for their trap!
—Damn it!!
“…Wait, wait!” Ah Xi Ruo suddenly shouted.
The maid smiled and said, "Miss Long, is there anything else? My master is waiting for me to go back and report the results."
Ah Xi Ruo said calmly, "You're right. I have indeed become somewhat weary of the existence of the [Shop] lately... Your existence has always been a malignant tumor that needs to be eradicated from this world!"
"So..." the maid's smile deepened, "Miss Long, what do you mean?"
Ah Xi Ruo sneered, "Since you're not afraid of me prying into your secrets, what do I have to be afraid of... Remember to prepare a good room for me! I can't sleep in those beds that smell like disinfectant!"
After saying that, Ah Xiruo calmly picked up her teacup and drank her tea.
The maid said softly, "Okay, I'll arrange for your room to be next to the master's. How does that sound?"
puff--!
……
……
"Long'er... Long'er? Long'er!!"
"Ah...w-what's wrong?"
Ziling's mother reached out and shook her hand in front of Long'er's face, then leaned in and pressed her forehead against Long'er's. "I should be asking you what's wrong. I came upstairs and saw you sitting here in a daze. You didn't respond when I called you... You don't seem to have a fever."
"No... Godmother, I was just thinking about something." [Long'er] shook her head. "Godmother, please sit down. I'll go get you some water!"
Ziling's mother smiled with relief, and suddenly a thought struck her: her adopted son was about to get married and start a family, so perhaps she could focus a little more on this adopted goddaughter in the future.
"Godmother, there's something I want to tell you." [Long'er] returned with a water glass, looking hesitant. "But I don't know how to say it..."
"Is there something wrong?" Ziling's mother asked patiently. "Is it something to do with your studies? Or were you bullied at school...? I... I know, does our Long'er have a crush on a boy? Come on, tell your godmother. I love hearing stories about puppy love! But puppy love is puppy love, you can't give in to him so early, understand?"
"...How old am I? Do you think this is appropriate?!" Ah Xiruo rolled her eyes in annoyance!
“Kids mature early these days; I’ve seen too many news stories like this,” Ziling’s mother said solemnly. “Don’t be tempted by something new and regret it for the rest of your life!”
Ah Xiruo felt the discussion was going nowhere, her toes practically digging out a three-bedroom apartment. "Godmother... actually, before the New Year, I had a spiritual screening test organized by the school, and it showed that I have a [Heavenly Spiritual Root]... I heard that the [Zhongnan Mountain] Academy seems to be planning to admit me..."
Ziling's mother was taken aback at first, then became somewhat at a loss, muttering to herself, "Our Long'er has also become an [Awakened]? How sudden..."
Ah Xi Ruo said softly, "Godmother, I don't want to go to the Zhongnan Mountain Academy... but the teachers at the school say it's mandatory, and once you're in, it's three years of closed training... Godmother, can you help me think of a way?"
Ziling's mother couldn't help but smile bitterly, "What can I do... The new law of China requires spiritual service, which is the duty of every citizen... I, as her godmother, don't have such extraordinary means."
...Perhaps I could ask a "pro" for help?
The thought that had just crossed Ziling's mother's mind was quickly extinguished... She wanted to ask a "master" for help, but she simply couldn't bring herself to lie and evade military service.
Seeing her goddaughter's dejected and disappointed state, Ziling's mother hugged Long'er tightly, her heart aching. "Don't be afraid. Your godmother actually knows a very capable person, my good friend! I'll introduce you to her, so even if you get into the Zhongnan Mountain Academy, you won't be left without anyone to take care of you..."
Ah Xiruo was taken aback.
—Am I about to crack open?!
—This is Qilin City, why is it cracked?!
That scoundrel!!!
