"Ugh, how annoying! Someone was sleeping so soundly, why did you have to disturb their sleep?"

A babyish voice suddenly rang in my mind.

Shen Miao was startled and quickly stopped using her supernatural power.

Looking around, who is speaking?

Orcs were passing by from time to time, but none of them seemed to have said those words. Could it be that she was hallucinating, or was she still in a hallucination and hadn't come out?

"Idiot, idiot."

The little voice was a bit exasperated as she introduced herself, "I'm the system manager, not one of you stupid beastmen."

Shen Miao frowned and tapped her head. "Are you in my head? What is a system butler? Are you even an adult, you little brat?"

"You're the little brat!" The childish voice that called itself the system's butler exploded, jumping three feet high. "Watch your mouth. You'll need my help a lot in the future."

Shen Miao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The system administrator said unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

Shen Miao patted her bottom and got up, saying as she walked, "I laughed at you for starting work before finishing your studies, and for relying on you. That's what others said to you, you can't say that yourself, understand?"

"I can say whatever I want, it's none of your business," the little girl said angrily.

"Okay, okay, do as you please."

The journey back was initially a bit boring, but the presence of this grumpy little housekeeper made it much more interesting.

One person in charge, they argue all the time. It's mainly because the little steward has a bad temper and will argue with people at the slightest disagreement. Shen Miao just deals with whatever comes her way.

Even a small effort can make the housekeeper furious and lose her temper.

"What kind of butterfly is this? It's so beautiful!" Shen Miao saw a butterfly resting in the grass and her curiosity was piqued. She couldn't resist catching it to take a closer look.

"Aaaaaah, stop touching me!"

The system assistant let out a deafening roar.

It was a real scream, it almost made Shen Miao's brains spill out.

She clutched her head, crying out in pain, "Little housekeeper, stop, stop, stop! Can we please stop yelling? Please keep your voice down, I can hear you."

The housekeeper said angrily, "Don't go up and provoke it. That's not an ordinary butterfly; it's a Soul-Eating Butterfly."

"What is a Soul-Devouring Butterfly?" Shen Miao asked, somewhat confused.

“The Soul-Eating Butterfly is the Soul-Eating Butterfly,” the little steward stamped his foot, “a butterfly that can attack people. If you provoke it, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Although Shen Miao didn't quite understand what was going on, she did understand one thing: the Soul-Devouring Butterfly was very dangerous. She was someone who listened to advice, and if someone told her not to do something, she wouldn't do it.

"I'll listen to you. You're the housekeeper, so you're in charge." Shen Miao readily agreed.

But she wasn't having much luck today; she really ran into the Soul-Eating Butterflies. After walking only a few steps, a swarm of brightly colored butterflies rushed out of the flower bushes.

Shen Miao looked closely and realized that it was exactly the same as the one in the grass.

Damn, these are all Soul-Devouring Butterflies, so many, I could tear her apart and eat her whole without any problem.

Shen Miao took off running, with the swarm of butterflies close behind. Because there were so many of them, their flight created a gust of air that lifted Shen Miao's hair.

"Aaaaaah, what the hell? Why are they chasing me? I didn't dig up their ancestral graves! Please, ladies butterflies, have mercy!"

Shen Miao was so tired from running that she almost got a stitch in her side. She was panting heavily and frantically tapping the system manager in her mind.

"Little housekeeper, are you still alive? Say something! Why are they chasing me? Have they taken a liking to me? But I can't live with them."

The system administrator watched Shen Miao run off in a frenzy, speechless, unsure of what to say.

This person was almost being chased by the Soul-Eating Butterfly, yet they still dared to insult it. It remained silent, wanting to savor such a good show until it was thoroughly satisfied.

Shen Miao would sometimes rush down the slope, sometimes run into the stream, sometimes burrow into the grass, and sometimes climb up the tree, but no matter where she went, the Soul-Devouring Butterfly could always catch up.

"Ahhhhh, get away from me! Don't come near me!" Shen Miao flailed her arms wildly, trying to scare away the Soul-Eating Butterfly.

If she hadn't encountered the Soul-Eating Butterfly, she wouldn't have known that butterflies could bite, and that a single bite could be excruciating, causing a large, painful bump to immediately form at the bite site.

In a panic, Shen Miao used her special ability, Burning Flame. As soon as the Burning Flame was unleashed, the Soul-Devouring Butterflies that were charging ahead fell to the ground and were roasted.

However, this only enraged them further, and their attack became even more intense than before.

Shen Miao: "..."

I'm speechless, utterly speechless.

You guys better back down, or you'll end up as roasted butterflies, believe it or not.

Unfortunately, her superpowers were not enough to keep up with everything. Shen Miao was completely surrounded, and the Soul-Devouring Butterflies, as if seeking revenge, launched attack after attack.

Shen Miao placed one Burning Flame here and another there, looking utterly disheveled.

The system assistant finally couldn't stand it anymore and mercifully pointed out, "You're really too stupid. I'm telling you, and you still won't admit it. Just admit it, you idiot."

"Damn it, I'm an idiot, and you're smart? Then show me the way!" Shen Miao roared in despair.

The system assistant chuckled and said, "That's easy. Just go to the river, dig up some silt, and smear it on your body. The Soul-Eating Butterflies can even bite you through the mud."

Upon hearing this, Shen Miao exclaimed, "Yes, that's a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?"

Just as the housekeeper said, she has become stupid.

Shen Miao sprinted into the river at top speed, grabbed some mud and smeared it all over her body. After she finished, she lay there quietly, motionless, like a corpse.

After the Soul-Eating Butterfly caught up, it suddenly lost its target, flew around aimlessly for a while, and then flew away unwillingly.

After waiting a while, Shen Miao finally got up from the ground. She wiped the mud off her face and, not daring to linger nearby, ran to a stream far away before stopping to wash herself.

While washing, she consulted the housekeeper, "What's going on? I didn't offend them, how did they suddenly appear?"

"You're stupid..."

"Alright, once is enough. I've said it a thousand times already. I'm stupid, but you're my little steward. Let's get down to business and hurry up." Shen Miao immediately cut him off.

The housekeeper choked for a moment, then muttered, "Can't I say it now? Really, cough cough. Actually, the fact that the Soul-Eating Butterflies are chasing you is your own doing. Didn't you realize you stepped on their nest?"

"What?" Shen Miao was greatly puzzled. "I didn't notice where their nest was."

"Just a short distance from that Soul-Devouring Butterfly, you stepped on it when you backed out. There was a bunch of Soul-Devouring Butterflies right next to you. And there's more than just that one nest in that area. If they communicate, they'll definitely cause you trouble." The little system's analysis was quite logical.

Shen Miao rubbed her forehead and sighed, "I've learned my lesson. I'll avoid them from now on."
