Full Time Servant

"What?" The Young Miss asked somewhat puzzledly.

"Xiaoyao said my name's pronunciation is very similar to a type of word from the western natives." the girl replied.

"Western natives?" The Young Miss still didn't quite understand.

"The people from around Hedis Kingdom and their language." Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"...You call Hedis natives? Damn, they're much more powerful than our Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and you actually call them natives." The Young Miss said.

"What's the problem with that? They're natives in our eyes, and we're natives in their eyes too. It's just a way of speaking and doesn't represent anything." Xiaoyao replied indifferently.

"..."

"If possible, I'd like to go there and see. I heard the people there are different from us. Their hair and eyes are all sorts of colors." the girl said with some anticipation.

"What's so special about that? People like that exist among our natives here too..." The Young Miss also learned to use the word "natives," referring to some minority tribes in their own country who also had different hair colors and eyes.

The Young Miss continued: "It's just that you can't see them in a small place like our Qingyun City. If you go to Heavenly Wind Capital, there are quite a few. Many of them come to Heavenly Wind Academy to study, and many come to do business."

"Really? Why are they different from us?" the girl asked. This question probably couldn't be answered by basically anyone.

"Boss, this question could actually be phrased as: why are we different from them? Relative to them, we're the different ones. Why do we all have black hair and black eyes with no other colors? In their lands, black hair and black eyes exist too, just with additional colors added."

The girl looked at Xiaoyao and asked strangely: "Why is that? Why can we only have black hair and black eyes while they can have other colors?"

"Because we're pure and kind, so we're all pure black." Xiaoyao answered very casually.

"..."

"Kid, I think you're talking nonsense and being evasive." The Young Miss said disdainfully.

"Oh, then you explain it." Xiaoyao directly threw the question back.

"I... I also think it's because we're pure. Actually black looks so good. Those gaudy colors don't look good at all." The Young Miss wanted to say something but found that apart from agreeing, she seemed to have no other choice.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the three people chatting was very peaceful, making one feel there were no problems, nor would one think that two of the girls were meeting for the first time.

Everything was so harmonious, but soon this harmony ended.

"Ah..."

Suddenly, the girl cried out in alarm, then immediately retreated, backing away a very, very long distance.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Did my cousin wake up?" Seeing this situation, the Young Miss immediately looked to the side and saw Cousin Young Master still lying on the ground. Her first thought was that the girl had such a sudden strong reaction because Cousin Young Master had gotten up, although she had seen the girl knock him down with one strike.

But the result wasn't like that. Cousin Young Master hadn't gotten up since being knocked unconscious.

"Isn't he still lying there? What are you afraid of?" The Young Miss was very puzzled.

"Boss is afraid of you. She feels being too close to you will harm you. She's a Heavenly Fiend Lone Star who will bring misfortune to Mo family members." Xiaoyao said at this moment.

The girl was a kind person who didn't want to harm anyone. Someone like the Young Miss whom she didn't dislike, and who was also her elder sister, even though this was their first meeting, she didn't want her elder sister to have problems because of herself.

From another perspective, she also believed in her own fate. That she would bring misfortune to people.

"So that's it. Don't worry, I'm fine." The Young Miss raised her hands, and though she had no confidence about this, she still comforted the girl first.

"But..."

"Boss, it's fine. Even if you're still the fiercest Heavenly Fiend Lone Star from before, you might not be able to bring misfortune to her. She's naturally blessed with divine protection. A fate of great wealth and honor. Your fate can't overcome hers. There are people like this, their fate is so good it makes others jealous and envious..." Xiaoyao said at this moment.

The fiercest Heavenly Fiend Lone Star from before? What did this mean? The Young Miss really wanted to ask. She didn't know yet that the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star fate could be slowly resolved, just requiring gradual accumulation that couldn't be completed in a short time.

However, the Young Miss didn't ask this question because next, she had an even more interesting question that directly replaced it.

"Really?" the girl asked.

"Really. When we came here, I looked at her palm reading and confirmed it again. There's no mistake." Xiaoyao said.

"You were reading my palm when you looked at my hand just now." The Young Miss now understood Xiaoyao's earlier request.

"Mm." Xiaoyao nodded.

"If I didn't have that kind of fate, what would you have done?" The Young Miss asked. She now had no interest in asking how Xiaoyao knew this. It would only make her feel helpless and waste her breath.

"Nothing." Xiaoyao answered plainly.

"Nothing? You wouldn't stop me from getting close to Seventh Sister and let me be cursed like him?" The Young Miss pointed at Cousin Young Master on the ground accusingly. Cousin Young Master's current state could be said to have been slightly cursed by the girl.

Xiaoyao hadn't cared at all whether Cousin Young Master would be cursed because he simply didn't care about Cousin Young Master, so he only checked the Young Miss.

If Cousin Young Master were awake now, he would definitely be very depressed about being ignored like this.

"If I stopped you, you'd definitely continue anyway. Also, now my boss's fate at most harms people with broken hands and feet. No one dies. With your fate, at most you'd have injured tendons and broken bones. I could heal that for you." Xiaoyao said indifferently.

"Damn, I want to give you injured tendons and broken bones." The Young Miss said angrily.

"Pfft..." The girl laughed seeing how the two looked.

"Seventh Sister, you look very beautiful when you smile."

"I'll go cook for my boss first. You two chat slowly." Xiaoyao said. "It's good to be lively during the New Year. There should be more guests coming later, so I need to prepare. Otherwise people will think we have nothing to offer guests."

"What do you mean more people will come?" The Young Miss was momentarily confused.

"Your cousin left..." the girl pointed ahead. At this time, Cousin Young Master who had been lying there had quietly departed.

"Hmph. Don't say I'm bullying you all. I'll find someone to witness and let you know that just now was only luck." Cousin Young Master left this remark before disappearing.

"...I understand. Then we'll wait. This cousin's brain doesn't work well, even in this situation, he left without asking anything." The Young Miss shook her head. "When he brings people later it won't matter. Whatever, let him call people. It'll be good entertainment."

The Young Miss had a feeling of wishing for chaos in the world, the more chaotic things got, the more she could solve her boredom problem.

"Now I understand. That Xiaoyao kid learned Taoist mystical arts because of you. How long has he been studying? Can he solve your problem?" The Young Miss was looking for conversation topics because the girl just stood there in a daze without any desire to talk with her.

"It should be five or six years from now. Back then I just mentioned it casually, but he ran off to study it and even sought out nearby Taoist masters. However, he was just a small servant. Why would others pay attention to him? But somehow he managed to learn things from various Taoist masters..." the girl said faintly, her tone seeming to carry light sorrow.

The Young Miss could feel this sorrow. It was a kind of self-blame because the girl felt she had caused Xiaoyao to suffer.

The Young Miss's view of Xiaoyao was now completely different. Originally she thought Xiaoyao was heartless, only knowing how to work and never caring about others. Now the facts were before her. Xiaoyao had done countless things for the girl before her.

If someone could do so much for oneself, one would definitely be moved, then make him one's—

Brother.

What else did you think it would be? I only liked women.

The two chatted intermittently like this, neither seeming to think about helping Xiaoyao. The Young Miss simply hadn't thought of it. She was a pampered young miss used to being served. She didn't understand such things and wouldn't lift a finger.

As for the girl, she wanted to help, but she knew Xiaoyao was very capable and didn't want her help, because going over would only cause more trouble.

It wasn't that the girl couldn't cook, on the contrary, she cooked quite well, better than most people. After all, she took care of herself alone. Xiaoyao this servant wandered around everywhere, only appearing when needed.

Why did she feel going in would cause trouble? The reason was simple. Xiaoyao worked too fast with tight arrangements that didn't allow others to interfere. If others helped, it would only disrupt his sequence.

While the two were chatting, suddenly an object flew out in an arc from inside...

As the object got closer, the two could see its appearance more clearly. It was a round little furball, white in color, and it made sounds.

"Chi... Chi..."

Needless to say, this object was Xiaoyao's little monster beast, Chi Chi.

Then the girl's hands reached out to catch Chi Chi in her arms.

"You little glutton, don't come in again or I'll put you in confinement." Xiaoyao's voice came from inside.

"Chi... Chi..." Chi Chi called out very innocently.

"Chi Chi, you were stealing food again..." the girl said with a smile while holding Chi Chi.

"Chi~~" Chi Chi's eyes darted around, seeming afraid to face the situation.
