[No wonder we never saw the villain carrying a weapon before.] Ya Xiao said to Fourth Uncle: [So it's only now that it's ready.]
The system also nodded in agreement. It thought of something, and with a jolt, hurriedly advised: [Host, this hand bone claw chain of the villain is very dangerous. You must not go find the villain to fight out of curiosity!]
Fourth Uncle guessed his thoughts. Ya Xiao's eyes wandered a bit, the tip of his tail also hung down, and he said: [I've never thought about it.]
He just thought about it in his mind.
The villain with the weapon's enhancement was even more powerful than before.
Which demon could refuse to duel with a strong person?
Thinking of Qin Qi's combat power, Ya Xiao's tailbone was tingling. His fighting spirit was hidden, and he held back his heart, staring brightly at Qin Qi's back, full of admiration and respect for the strong.
Noticing the distance between the two, Ya Xiao did not hesitate to follow the instinct to move his feet, slightly to Qin Qi's side to lean a little. Following a strong person will always make the demon very happy.
Noticing the action of the butler next to him, Qin Qi did not think too much. He only thought that the other party was afraid of cold weapons.
He knew better than anyone the qualities of the BNC17. Qin Qi wore gloves and gently brushed the bone claws with a dangerous luster, every detail was tailor-made for him. There was not a single thing that was out of place, and this was the most suitable weapon.
After making sure that there was no problem, Qin Qi pressed the special mechanism of the bone claw. In an instant, the sharp silver claw turned into an ordinary silver bracelet, which he casually stuffed into his pocket.
Ya Xiao had wanted to look at it for a few more moments.
It was a treasure that had been fought over by many in the plot, and while he hadn't seen what was so special about it, he wasn't too disappointed.
There would be plenty of chances to observe that claw in the future.
Right now, Ya Xiao was more concerned about Qin Qi, who had gotten the weapon. According to the plot points, there were still nearly two years before Qin Qi ended his life.
With the current speed of absorbing demon value, Ya Xiao did some math and determined that he could grow bat wings before Qin Qi's death. He instantly had no more mental burden.
In these two years or so, he would definitely protect Qin Qi from becoming weak!
"Marshal, we can eat now."
Ya Xiao glanced at the time and dutifully reminded with arched eyebrows, "I've specially made super delicious meat porridge tonight."
"Hmmm."
Qin Qi's expression was flat, consciously following behind Ya Xiao into the kitchen.
The butler was just a collaborator hired by himself.
Unless there were special circumstances or he was busy at work, he wouldn't be so wasteful as to leave everything to the butler.
Looking at the black-purple meat porridge bubbling with a bizarre odor in the pot, Qin Qi scooped it up and served it on a plate. The expression on his face did not even change.
Every time Ya Xiao made a meal that looked different from what everyone else made, the flavor was great.
The two sat at the table, and the atmosphere was so quiet that only the slight sound of eating could be heard. Qin Qi was not used to talking during meals, and Ya Xiao was the same.
Focusing and quickly replenishing energy to ensure that the food would not be taken away by other demons was the instinct of every low-level demon to protect their food, even now that Ya Xiao had become a mid-level demon.
The employer and the butler who had many common habits got along very well.
Qin Qi looked at Ya Xiao who only appeared extra quiet during meals, perhaps this was one of the reasons why he didn't mind getting along with Ya Xiao.
It was indeed very comfortable when getting along with Ya Xiao.

Ya Xiao hummed a little tune as he watered the flowers, glancing at the mall from time to time, picking up the latest toys inside.
Most of the decorative toys in the villa's living room had been damaged by the out-of-control villain, so Ya Xiao decided to buy another batch of goods, trying to get even more beautiful and sturdy ones than the villa's last decorative toys.
Before he knew it, it was time to go to bed, which was Ya Xiao's favorite time of the day lately!
He changed into his pajamas and ran inside Qin Qi's room, intending to continue guarding the villain.
Because Ya Xiao had said ahead of time that he would be guarding himself during the night for the next few days, Qin Qi wasn't surprised when he saw Ya Xiao come in until he saw what the other party was handing over.
"You bought it so quickly?"
Qin Qi's eyes moved slightly, the black pajamas were the same style as the one Ya Xiao was wearing, but it was quite a bit bigger.
"Uh-huh!"
The demon was quite responsible for what he had promised. Since he had promised that he would buy Qin Qi the same pajamas, Ya Xiao naturally wouldn't miss his appointment.
The black-haired young man with fair and soft skin nodded earnestly, his tail wagging around in his pants, the emotions in his blue eyes joyful and fluttering, "I bought it in the morning, and it arrived in the afternoon."
Qin Qi took the pajamas handed over by the butler, originally wanting to wait until later to wear them, but the young man stared straight at him with an expectant expression.
After a short silence, Qin Qi lifted his hands to unbutton his buttons. Noticing that Ya Xiao didn't seem to intend to avert his eyes, he paused for a moment, but then he felt that it was okay to be looked at, so he continued his movements and changed into his new pajamas.
Once he was changed, Qin Qi didn't have time to thank him before he met the young man's excited eyes:
"I knew it, Marshal. You would definitely look very handsome in these pajamas!"
The man who came from the military had an upright figure, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and smooth muscle lines so he wouldn't look bad in anything.
"Is that so?"
Qin Qi slightly looked at his sleeves. The price of this should not be cheap, at least among those he bought, this one was the most comfortable.
"Uh-huh!"
Ya Xiao looked up at Qin Qi and nodded his head heavily with sincerity, his eyes full of pride. It was just as he thought, "Marshal, you have a great body. The pajamas are especially suitable for you!"
The pure sincerity and appreciation in the young man's words made Qin Qi somewhat silent for a moment.
Yesterday, he had talked about Ya Xiao's pajamas being good in order to change the topic, but Qin Qi was telling the truth and not going against his heart. It was just that no matter what, he couldn't let the other party give him clothes for nothing.
Qin Qi had already secretly decided to give Ya Xiao a raise and would not let him suffer.
As for the two of them wearing the same pajamas, both Qin Qi and Ya Xiao do not think it was a big deal. After all, all the officers in the entire Sixth Base wore the exact same uniforms.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
Just like last night, Ya Xiao smoothly accumulated seven demon values. The next day, the highly successful Ya Xiao was in high spirits as he wagged his tail and followed Qin Qi to the base headquarters building.
Once the villain had gone into his office, Ya Xiao turned around and prepared to go into the butler's lounge for a while, but before he could get there, Mist stopped him in the hallway.
"Ya Xiao." Misty smiled at him, "Didn't I tell you earlier that you're traveling to the Fifth Base in three days for the border meeting? How are you getting ready?"
Ya Xiao's tail tip gave a small wiggle as he replied seriously, "Ready to go anytime."
He was fully prepared to solve the crisis!
There would be quite a few people running to assassinate the villain at the border meeting this time. Unlike before, the villain not only didn't get hurt this time but instead brutally took care of all those assassins without leaving a single one behind.
Because the means were too bloody and ruthless, this matter made a big fuss. After the protagonist group who were far away from other bases knew about it, they strengthened their determination to defeat the villain.
In this view, Ya Xiao actually did not need to solve those assassins in advance since the villain could handle it alone.
But Ya Xiao didn't quite dare to bet on it.
The plot had already changed. He saved Wei Duo who should have died, and there were no casualties at the birthday banquet. What if the villain's vigilance was not as strong as in the plot because of this change, and he was tricked by mistake?
So, Ya Xiao decided to get rid of them once and for all. Just take them out and save himself the fear of having to worry about it.
Mist looked at the other party's frowning expression. The corners of his mouth curved up after him, nodding his head and continuing, "That's good, I came here this time to ask you. Emily, Wittin, and Sheng Cheng, are all three of your assistants going to be brought to the Fifth Base?"
Ya Xiao thought about it and declined, "Just Emily and Wittin will be fine."
He revealed a good-natured smile, "Sheng Cheng still has to help me look up information, so if he has to go to the Fifth Base, it's too much of a task for him."
Mist nodded at his words, "Okay, then as you said, I'll just report it."
Ya Xiao curled his eyes and gave a brisk hmmm.
In the plot, Sheng Cheng had nothing to do with the assassination at the border meeting. Since that was the case, Ya Xiao felt that it was perfectly fine for him to stay at the base and feel at ease with the tasks he had set out, lest he make a whole mess of something else.
However, this matter did remind him that he hadn't yet issued a mission to Sheng Cheng today.
So Sheng Cheng, who had managed to stay idle, hadn't even had time to enjoy his leisure time before receiving a document from Ya Xiao in the next second.
Thirteen pages full of workload for the next three days, Sheng Cheng was so angry that he nearly smashed his optical brain.
Bear with it! In order to complete the mission, this bit of suffering was nothing!
Sheng Cheng suppressed his anger. He whined and panted like an old buffalo for a few days to organize the information, only to overhear a colleague's conversation one day.
"Marshal and the others have already traveled to the border base?"
"How come Sheng Cheng didn't follow?"
"I heard that Sheng Cheng was too busy. Ya Xiao sympathized with him and purposely didn't let him follow."
Sheng Cheng: ......
When did this happen? Why don't I know? Laying out so many things is called being sympathetic? Sheng Cheng was so angry that he almost spat out blood. I must kill Ya Xiao!
Sheng Cheng clenched his fists in anger, gritting his teeth, frantically wanting to finish off that butler. The spring meeting was coming soon, and that was a good opportunity. Thinking of that beautiful black-haired young man trembling and cowering but could only fearfully wait for death, he couldn't help but let out a triumphant pleasure at the corners of his mouth.
The optical brain dinged with a vibration.
Sheng Cheng looked down, it was a text message.
[Sheng Cheng, it's been hard on you. Here's the information for the next week, keep going!]
The attachment was nearly a thirty-nine-page document.
Sheng Cheng: ...... f*ck
On the other hand, Emily, who wore a silver lip stud on her lips, sensed Ya Xiao's movement next to her and thought something had happened.
"It's fine, I asked Sheng Cheng to look up some information for me." Ya Xiao's tail which was hidden inside his pants flicked.
Emily hmmed, it was nothing to worry about. Sheng Cheng was very capable of looking up information, and it was normal to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
"Has the airship left our base yet?"
Ya Xiao looked out the window through the airship. The sun was shining brightly, the air was full of sand and dust, and the ground looked extraordinarily desolate with dusty ruins piled up on top of each other.
"It'll take another five minutes or so."
Emily prompted.
Ya Xiao nodded dutifully, he glanced down at the time on his optical brain. The villain had been in a meeting for almost half an hour and there was no telling when they would come out.
Now, their group was on their way to the Fifth Base. The two bases were right next door to each other, and the distance wasn't too far. It was no surprise that they would arrive at their destination in the afternoon.
Ya Xiao scratched the optical brain a few times. From time to time, he struck up a few words with Fourth Uncle in his mind or talked to Emily for a few minutes, and the time passed was not too slow.
The airship slowly traveled, and the original desolate desert scene gradually changed. Ya Xiao curiously looked over, and then he saw the black shadows spreading over the sky, whistling like a black cloud pressing down and rapidly surging toward the direction of the airship.
As a demon, Ya Xiao's eyesight was very good. He could easily see that the distant black shadows were actually made up of densely packed black flying insects, each of them had red compound eyes, serrated teeth as sharp as blades, and stinging needles glowing with black color, which vaguely revealed an aura of danger.
With his demonic intuition, Ya Xiao could feel that if the black shadows really crashed into it, the airship would be eaten up in less than a second.
However, unexpectedly, the black shadows didn't really crash into the ship. When they were about to rush up, an invisible curved barrier stopped the black shadows five hundred meters away.
Ya Xiao froze for a moment.
"Is this the first time you've seen the outer barrier?" Emily remembered that the other party had always lived in the central city, so she guessed that he had never seen such a formation before.
Ya Xiao nodded, his eyes brightened a little, so this was the barrier that had been guarding the base.
This world was infested with demonic insects. In addition to the central city, there were only eight bases left for humans to live in, and there had always been invisible barriers protecting the bases and the human race.
Ya Xiao stayed in front of the window with interest and watched for a long time, waiting to watch for ten minutes or so before withdrawing his eyes, intending to go to the back kitchen to get a little snack over to continue to watch.
Emily waved her hand at Ya Xiao when she knew what he intended to do. The kitchen of the airship wasn't far from the corridor. It was only a minute's walk away, so she wasn't going to follow Ya Xiao over there.
She just emphasized, "Come back early."
"Okay."
Ya Xiao wagged his tail and smiled pleasantly.
Meanwhile, two butlers in tuxedos inside the kitchen were sighing.
They were butlers of the Fourth Base.
More accurately, the Fourth Base's taboo person, Runico, had lost control at the wedding banquet and had been forcibly detained by the Sixth Base. The two of them were the butlers responsible for taking care of Runico.
"It's too tragic, I just saw that Runico's mental state is off. If this negotiation doesn't go well, Runico might be ruined."
"The Sixth Base's marshal is really...."
The voices were getting weaker and weaker. They really didn't have the guts to say bad things about the other party in their territory.
But in the end, it was still anger that took over reason. The two of them couldn't help but mutter, "I heard that that current butler also wanted to break the contract and resign, but after becoming his butler, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to, so it's really a p..."
Before the word pity could be uttered, a crisp and cheerful voice came from the side.
"No oh, I'm very happy right now. I don't intend to resign just yet."
The two butlers' hearts thumped. They turned their heads and saw a black-haired young man squatting next to them with a smile on his face. It was unknown how long he had been listening.
The two butlers: ......
