Worried about his TH value spiking?
Such a legitimate reason made Qin Qi somewhat silent for a while.
Guarding an employer with fluctuating TH value was one of the duties of a butler. If a taboo person was in a critical situation, it was common to live together for a month in a row, but Qin Qi has never had such an experience.
The living room was silent for a long time. He looked down at Ya Xiao, and after a long time, he asked in a puzzled voice, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid of what?"
Ya Xiao was a bit confused and didn't understand what the villain meant by fear.
The young butler in front of him nearly lost his life during the day, but this matter seems to be insignificant in his mind, not even a little splash. From the beginning to the end, the other party was even just concerned about his body.
Qin Qi's throat rolled up and down.
He averted his eyes and turned toward his room. Before he stepped onto the last flight of stairs, a hoarse voice traveled through the air and into Ya Xiao's ears.
"You can come if you want, but now that you've decided, be prepared to be killed by me at any moment."
There was no pattern to his outbursts, and even if the villa was fully secured, it didn't mean that Ya Xiao would be able to get away with it if both of them shared the same room.
"Okay!"
Ya Xiao heard his employer agree, his eyes lit up, nodding his head in excitement.
[Great! Fourth Uncle, I've successfully infiltrated the villain's room. I can absorb demon value for the whole night!]
As if he had picked up a great bargain, Ya Xiao flicked his tail happily, his tone was very excited.
The system lifted the glasses with slightly trembling fingers. No, host, did you not hear the villain's last sentence?
Sleeping with a villain who may go out of control at times is dangerous ah ah ah!
Qin Qi did not expect Ya Xiao to agree so quickly. It seemed that the other party did not take his earlier warning to heart. His footsteps lurched, the corners of his mouth pursed tightly, and he walked straight back to the room.
Having said all his words, Ya Xiao chose to take on the responsibility of a butler, and Qin Qi, as the beneficiary, had no reason to refuse.
The door of the room opened with a creak. The room was in a mess, with broken bookcases and a crumbling floor... all of which showed the chaos that had occurred when he lost control. Qin Qi raised his eyes to look at it, then lowered his eyelashes.
He didn't like dirty and messy environments, but choosing another room would make him even more uncomfortable.
Qin Qi avoided the broken floor and lifted his feet towards the bed when a knock came from the closed door of the room suddenly.
"Come in."
The door to the room gently opened.
"Marshal, will I disturb your rest if I'm in your room?" The clear and crisp voice was a little hesitant.
No matter how bold the slender and smiling young man was, he was just a fragile ordinary human. It was impossible not to be afraid when he saw his previous out-of-control horrible appearance, he was just clever enough to hide it.
Qin Qi was not surprised. Next, the other party would probably retract his previous words. Valuing his life was a human instinct that could not be blamed, or that would be the smartest thing to do.
Qin Qi turned slightly sideways, his dark gaze falling on Ya Xiao, intending to wait for the other man to speak and pretend that the offer didn't exist.
While the heavy curtains blocked out the light, the light from the hallway outside the door shone in from behind the dark-haired youth.
It was only then that Qin Qi saw the outfit of the person in front of him. The dark-haired young man was dressed in pajamas with a futon clutched tightly in his arms. Those blue eyes were glowing with a pure, bright light as he leaped forward to walk in.
It clearly wasn't a look that was going to back out, he even looked a little impatient.
Qin Qi was briefly silent for a moment.

"No, you come in."

He let out a hmmm, originally thinking that the butler would just put the futon on the sofa not far away, but he didn't expect that the other party had found a bedboard from somewhere and had the robot carry it in, placing it right next to his bed.
"I'll be watching over the side."
Ya Xiao spread the futon and sat cross-legged on it. His expression was very serious, and he said with a straight face, "This way, if your TH value once spikes, I can immediately perform healing."
The righteous look seemed as if there was no half-heartedness.
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not refuse, but directly bypassed Ya Xiao's bed and sat down on his own bed. There was an indescribable mystery in his heart.
His new butler was truly an unexpected presence.
It wasn't derogatory.
Qin Qi's heart was complicated, and there was still a hint of not knowing whether to cry or laugh, but he was a lot more relaxed than before.
Ya Xiao didn't notice the shift in the villain's mood.
He was holding Qin Qi's wrist, busy acting as a responsible butler, and only after dutifully recording the TH value at his wrist did Ya Xiao relax and give the marshal a bright smile:
"Marshal, don't worry about sleeping. Now that the TH value is in a normal state, I'll keep a good watch over you."
The young man in soft pajamas had a smile on his face. He sat on the bed, slightly tilting his head to look at Qin Qi, his blue eyes permeated with a pleasant and dazzling smile. Because of his movements, the collar of his shirt slid down slightly, revealing his fair and sexy collarbone.
Qin Qi was still looking down at the young man next to his knees. Seeing this scene, he unconsciously moved his eyes away. He didn't understand why he had to move his eyes away and then looked at Ya Xiao again.
Meeting the pair of blue eyes that were permeated with doubt and confusion, Qin Qi paused for a moment and looked for a topic, "Your pajamas are nice."
This topic change was a bit stiff.
But who let it be Ya Xiao who heard that? Almost immediately at the same time he heard it, he was carried away by the other man's train of thought, and the tip of his tail hidden in his pajama pants patted the floor with glee and happiness.
"Well, I like the pajamas too!"
[The villain's taste is really high.]
Ya Xiao expressed his high approval of the villain's aesthetics.
These black pajamas were carefully selected by Ya Xiao at the mall. Not only could it hide his tail just like the tuxedo, but the style was also particularly beautiful, especially the red fanged monster printed on it, which always reminded Ya Xiao of his favorite food in the demon world.
"If the marshal likes it, I'll buy you one of the same style." Ya Xiao tugged at the sleeve of his pajamas with his fingers. When he looked up, his tone was a little excited. Demons were always happy to share their favorite things.
He looked at Qin Qi up and down. The man underwent intense training on a daily basis, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, an upright figure, and smooth muscle lines. Wearing the same type of pajamas as his own, he must look very good!
Qin Qi originally wanted to open his mouth to refuse. He felt that the good clothes were not necessarily suitable for him, but looking at Ya Xiao's eagerly anticipating eyes, he thought of his own previous random excuses and ultimately acquiesced.
At this time, the nanny robot was guarding outside.
This was an order given by Qin Qi. MLN9 was guarding the door. Once he lost control, it would protect Ya Xiao at all costs.
As time went by minute by minute, the sound of conversations in the room gradually stopped.
Ya Xiao laid down on the soft mattress, scratched the progress bar on the transparent panel that was collecting demon values, and was instantly satisfied.
Good!
He could earn a lot of demon value in this one night!
Fourth Uncle was old and couldn't stay up long enough and went to bed at this time, so Ya Xiao was just happy with himself and didn't look for Fourth Uncle to share his joy.
With his tail pleasantly patting the bed, Ya Xiao's attention was diverted to Qin Qi's side, who was lying on the left side of the bed.
Qin Qi had not yet gone to sleep. Ya Xiao glanced at the time and after thinking about it, he whispered, "Marshal, I've temporarily put your grandfather's things inside the storage room downstairs."
In Ya Xiao's opinion, the marshal's loss of control was in all likelihood related to the things in the two boxes, so when explaining this matter, he spoke rather vaguely, worrying about touching Qin Qi's taboos again.
"Hmm."
When Qin Qi woke up and didn't see the two boxes, he guessed that it was Ya Xiao who had put them away.
No taboo person wished to lose their mind, the same was true for Qin Qi, his eyes deepened a bit, "Tomorrow, you will give the two swords in the boxes to Soren."
"Melt those two swords into BNC17."
Melt them?
At first glance, Ya Xiao thought that Qin Qi was very disgusted with those two swords when he heard those words.
In the plot, the villain was very close to his deceased grandfather. It was unlikely that he would be displeased with his grandfather's relics. Those two swords looked like just ordinary swords, nothing unusual.
Was there some other significance to melting the two swords?
Ya Xiao suppressed the curiosity that bubbled up inside him.
Since the villain must have his own plans if he did that, it had nothing to do with him. Ya Xiao raised his hand and touched the silver bone ear clip. He looked at Qin Qi and nodded solemnly:
"Yes Marshal, I will definitely deliver them to Adjutant Soren's hands!"
As long as he could collect the demon value every now and then, even if it was a bomb, he could deliver it to Soren's hands!
In the darkness, those blue eyes dazzled as if they were glowing, extraordinarily beautiful as if they had taken on some unimaginable task.
Qin Qi's gaze lingered for a moment, then moved away.
The room fell back into silence.
Near about ten o'clock, Qin Qi turned off the optical brain and glanced down. At this time, the butler had already closed his eyes.
The black-haired young man pulled the covers and curled up on the bed. Even in his sleep, the corners of his mouth were rising, and his body was overflowing with happiness.
Was he having some kind of beautiful dream?
Thoughts flashed through Qin Qi's mind.
In this kind of situation, the fact that Ya Xiao could still sleep should not be boldness, but his big heart.
Listening to the other person's slight breathing in his ears, Qin Qi thought that it would have taken him a long time before he could fall asleep or lose sleep all night, but in fact, because too many things happened today, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
During this period, Qin Qi was vaguely aware of Ya Xiao getting up from time to time to record the TH value of his wristwatch, but the other party's movements were very light, or perhaps he subconsciously thought that the weak butler was not dangerous, so Qin Qi, who has always been very alert, unusually did not wake up but slept until dawn.
The butler beside him had already disappeared, and the white futon was neatly folded.
On the other hand, after a night of hard work, Ya Xiao's demon value finally broke through seven!
Yay, last night's dream came true!
The satisfied demon hummed a little tune and watered the flowers he had planted with his own hands before returning inside the villa.
When Qin Qi went downstairs, the bread baked by Ya Xiao had just been formed and paired with very perfect skull eggs. The two of them had a delicious breakfast. After the meal was over, Qin Qi headed to the headquarters building of the base.
This time, Ya Xiao didn't follow.
He had to wait for Soren to come over to pick up the two swords, and the repairman he had an appointment with would be coming today to fix the villa.
Because he wasn't around the villain, Ya Xiao had a particularly comfortable time, opening the mall to browse around for a while, and buying some small toys to dress up the beautiful villa. He was only serious for a few minutes when Soren and the repairman came, but the rest of the time was particularly enjoyable!
[This is so much fun, Fourth Uncle.]
Ya Xiao put a mouthful of ice cream into his mouth, which was so delicious with the sweet and tart special jam of the magic world that it was explosive.
[I'll definitely take a day off and not go to the base headquarters at least one day a week from now on!]
Qin Qi on the other side didn't have the slightest idea that his diligent butler had already decided to apply for one day of vacation per week.
For him as the base head, even if he had just lost control yesterday, he still had to work today. In fact, because he hadn't come yesterday, his workload today had to be doubled.
"Marshal, the research department has followed the previous order to conduct a phase test and has now found that the substance contained in Zhang Ping's blood within forty-eight hours of his death is eighty percent similar to the unknown substance that the number plate from the wedding banquet had in the first place."
Mist said in an increasingly grave tone.
This meant that a group of people were behind the two major events that had happened at the base recently.
Qin Qi, who was sitting in the main seat, didn't seem to be surprised as he let out a hmmm.
Mist was clear that this was for him to continue. He straightened up to continue his report, though his tone was a bit weak:
"The mysterious person wearing a mask that appeared at Lieutenant General Wei Duo's birthday banquet. After all parties have been compared, it has been determined that the other party does not belong to the Sixth Base, and no trace of the other party has been found at this time."
Qin Qi raised his eyelids to look at Mist.
If the two major events that happened at the base were within his expectations, then only this mysterious man who suddenly appeared was not within his control.
"Continue to investigate."
"Yes!"
It was at six o'clock in the evening when he finished handling his official business.
During this period, Qin Qi didn't think of his butler. It was just that when he returned to the villa and saw the black-haired young man standing in front of the villa's door with a bright smile, Qin Qi couldn't explain how he felt.
It was probably because he suddenly realized that his surroundings were a lot quieter today.
"Marshal, Soren has sent over the crafted weapons." Ya Xiao followed a meter or so behind Qin Qi, his tail wagging gently inside his pants.
Making synthetic weapons was pretty quick. Soren had just taken the swords away in the morning and sent it over at three in the afternoon.
Qin Qi gave a hmmm.
He led Ya Xiao into the living room, where the black box was laid out on the table.
Ya Xiao was curious about what weapons were inside. When Qin Qi opened it, he glanced slightly sideways.
Qin Qi didn't seem to mind that Ya Xiao saw what was inside. He simply moved to the side purposely.
"This thing is a bit dangerous, you shouldn't touch it."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao nodded, the tip of his tail tapping lightly as he saw what was inside, his eyes slightly surprised.
It was a silver skeletal hand frame.
The sharp silver claws glowed with a dangerous sheen. The slender bones were modeled after the shape of human finger bones. The wrist rings and joints were made of the same silver metal, and the silver chain hung with the ultimate delicate perfection.
Realization dawned on Ya Xiao.
So the two swords had fused into this thing.
If he remembered correctly, this was the villain's favorite weapon to use. In the future, this was what he used to stab the protagonist, Wei Shi, and his own brother, Qin Chen, in the abdomen.
In the end, it was also the same thing that was used to end his own life.
