Volume 1 Chapter 116 (1/2)

Designer

When Xu Yi came home, it was already late at night.

Perhaps it was because she was back in a familiar environment, but as soon as they came in, Vivian who had been sleeping on Xu Yi’s back suddenly woke up. After being in a daze for a bit, she fully woke up and quickly jumped off Xu Yi’s back as she lowered her head to apologize, “Sorry, master, you had to carry me back…..”

Xu Yi patted her head and asked, “How was it? Did you have a good time living with Evita and Akali?”

Vivian immediately revealed a smile and excitedly nodded, “Un, it was very good. Big sister Akali and big sister Evita were very good to me. Big sister Still also came to see me and bought new clothes for me. Master, look, I’m wearing the clothes big sister Still bought for me right now.”

Xu Yi looked at the thick cotton padded jacket Vivian was wearing, “No wonder. I was thinking that I didn’t buy this for you, so it was something Still bought for you. Vivian, it seems like it was a very good idea to let them look after you. How about you just live with them from now on, they are this good to you anyway.”

“Ah?” Vivian was stunned before tears suddenly appeared in her eyes, “Master, you…..you don’t want me anymore?”

Xu Yi never thought that just a casual joke from him would make Vivian cry. He quickly wiped away her tears in a panic before anxiously saying, “I’m just joking, don’t take it seriously!”

“Really? Master, it isn’t because you don’t want me anymore?” Although the sadness on her face softened, Vivian’s expression still looked unsettled.

Seeing how she looked like an abandoned little animal, Xu Yi let out a sigh. He thought that he really didn’t pay enough attention.

Vivian had been a slave since she was young, so she never had a sense of stability and safety before. Now that she finally had some peaceful days, naturally it would be very important to her.

Perhaps it was only a casual joke to Xu Yi, but it was a very terrifying fact for her, so naturally it would cause such an intense reaction from her.

“Relax, I won’t not want you, I was just kidding.” Xu Yi patted her head and comforted her in a very certain voice. Then he gave the Magic Lamp that Evita gave him to Vivian, “Go and turn on the lamp. You’ve been with Evita and Akali for so long, you should know how to use it, right?”

Hearing Xu Yi’s orders, Vivian finally stopped crying and brought the Magic Lamp into the room.

Seeing the room light up, Xu Yi turned back to look at the dark night and raised his voice a bit to shout, “Young miss Agnes, come out.”

Space distorted to his left and Agnes appeared.

“Chairman Xu, do you need me for something? Could it be that you changed your mind and are prepared to head back to the tribe with me now?” Agnes’ voice was filled with a trace of pleasant surprise.

“I’m very sorry, I have to disappoint you.” Xu Yi shook his head, “I just want to ask you, how are you planning to spend the night?”

“Spend the night?” Agnes seemed like she never thought Xu Yi would ask this, so her voice was a bit surprised, “I’ll just stay here.”

“Stay here?” Xu Yi’s face filled with disbelief, “You wouldn’t be planning to spend all night outside, right? It’s this cold, you aren’t afraid of freezing to death?”

Agnes opened the cloak on her head and tilted her head with a curious look.

“Chairman Xu, you’re caring about me?”

“That’s right, I’m caring about you!” Xu Yi snappily said, “Although I feel that you following me around like this very annoying, but I can’t just watch a little girl like you sleeping on the streets, right? Come, come in. Although my place isn’t big, there’s no problem if one more person lives here.”

Agnes hesitated a bit before following Xu Yi into the room.

When she walked to Xu Yi’s side, Agnes suddenly thought of something and said to Xu Yi, “Chairman Xu, I am seventy four years old this year, I’m much bigger than you. You shouldn’t call me a little girl.”

Xu Yi instantly found this funny. He looked over at Agnes and said in a voice showing that he was a bit angry and found this a bit funny, “According to the standard of your elves, seventy four is equal to being a teen for us humans, right? I am a twenty seven year old human, so is there a problem in calling you little girl?”

Agnes actually carefully considered this before giving a nod.

“This is also reasonable. Alright, you can call me little girl.”

Xu Yi was defeated by this elf Agnes’ stubbornness and honesty. He could only shake his head and not pursue this topic any longer.

When he walked into the room, Vivian had already lit up the Magic Lamp and it released a light green glow, covering the room in a light shade of green.

Looking at the Magic Lamp on the table, Agnes looked a bit surprised. She went around the Magic Lamp before saying in surprise, “Chairman Xu, you humans really are a creative race, to actually make something like this. This is simply like the Moonlight Flowers in our tribe we use to light up the night.”

“Don’t you elves have strong night vision? Why would you need the Moonlight Flower’s light?” Xu Yi asked.

Agnes shook her head, “Not every elf has strong night vision. The older elves have weaker bodies, so their night vision is also weaker. They need the Moonlight Flower and Elune’s light very much. Chairman Xu, what is this thing that is like the Moonlight Flower called?”
