Yan Qing was somewhat incredulous. "Xiao Tao, after living for twenty years, this is the first time I've realized that I'm actually a lighter! This is truly an honor!"
"Cough cough cough—" The only response she received was a cough that Xiaotao was trying her best to suppress. She hadn't expected this outcome. Aren't superpowers supposed to be pretty impressive? How come her older sister is so—weird?
For a moment, both of them were dumbfounded.
Yan Qing was stunned. She thought she was about to fly or disappear into the earth. Who would have thought she would become a human lighter?
Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just awful!
Yan Qing looked at the pitiful little spark on her finger, as if a gust of wind would extinguish it all, so she simply left it there, out of sight, out of mind.
Therefore, she completely lost interest in the remaining awakening potion.
Over the next few days, Yan Qing focused on resting and exploring the villa she had bought.
After a few days, she had a pretty good grasp of the entire villa's layout. Overall, she was very satisfied.
Although buying the villa cost her 20 billion spirit coins, it was well worth it! The Soul-Destroying app is indeed honest and trustworthy; not only are all the facilities quite complete, but even the servants in the villa are readily available.
The villa currently has a total of 5 servants: a butler, a cook, a maid, a driver, and a cleaning lady. The staff is quite well-equipped.
This is a complete hodgepodge of people from different eras and cultures. The maid and cook are clearly from ancient times, while the butler is a typical Western butler. The remaining driver and cleaning lady are ordinary people, but something about them doesn't seem quite right either.
Over the course of several days, Yan Qing only had relatively frequent contact with her maid, Lingxi. She only briefly saw the others once and then didn't notice them again.
However, everything inside the villa was quite orderly; at least the people there were working diligently. Except for the fact that some of them seemed a little off.
Yes, thanks to Xiao Tao's secret guidance, she is now absolutely certain that the servants given as gifts in the villa are all strange.
This was confirmed by the maid Lingxi. Lingxi served her during the day, but she didn't stay at the villa at night. Presumably, the others were the same.
After a few days of hard work, she finally became familiar with Lingxi. Yan Qing couldn't help but ask her...
"Lingxi, where do you sleep every night?"
Lingxi's answer left her somewhat puzzled: "I want to go home."
"Where do you live?" she asked, her curiosity burning.
"I bow to Heaven and Earth." Lingxi's answer was quite surprising, and Yan Qing became even more curious. Why did "I bow to Heaven and Earth" sound like the name of a family?
—It's more like a copy.
"bite--"
A system notification sounded, and Yan Qing heard a familiar female voice prompting her:
"Dear Adventurer, you have received an invitation to the dungeon 'One Bow to Heaven and Earth.' Would you like to enter immediately?"
Yan Qing, looking exasperated, refused. She had a month of rest time; why would she go looking for trouble?
What she didn't know was that after she chose to refuse, Lingxi, who had been looking forward to it, instantly became dejected.
"Lingxi, what's wrong?" Why is this girl suddenly unhappy?
Lingxi looked at her with a mournful expression, but didn't say anything.
Over the next few days, she noticed that although Lingxi was still working diligently, her energy was noticeably lower than usual. This puzzled her greatly.
Xiao Tao also started to appear and disappear mysteriously. That brat would go out to play somewhere every day and would never come home until it was time to eat.
Having finally managed to corner her, Yan Qing quickly voiced her doubts. Xiao Tao listened, then laughed dismissively.
"It's alright, she just wants you to form a contract with her." Xiao Tao waved her hand. "She's just a low-level monster, so it's fine if she refuses."
Where did this come from? When did she refuse anyone? She only refused a dungeon invitation, okay?
Seeing Yan Qing's confused look, Xiao Tao, unusually kind-hearted, decided to stop. She had recently found something fun to do and was quite busy with it.
"Oh, that's the instance. It's Lingxi's original instance. If you want to form a contract with her, you have to go through that instance."
"But judging from her useless attitude, this dungeon level can't be that high. If you're interested, you can certainly give it a try. —Oh dear, I almost missed it, gotta go!"
Xiao Tao dashed off to run wild, but Yan Qing was quite at ease with her. Although she wasn't sure what secrets Xiao Tao held, the eerie zombies were all quite afraid of her. So naturally, she didn't need to worry about her safety.
After observing for two more days, Yan Qing finally found an opportunity to keep Lingxi alone.
"Why are you working in my villa?" Yan Qing asked directly.
Lingxi shrank her neck. "We signed a labor contract with the Sanglingling app. I applied for the job of a maidservant for the employer. After passing the assessment and training, I started working for the master."
"Where do you live? Is it that place where people 'bow to heaven and earth'?"
Lingxi nodded silently.
"You can freely enter and exit your own original instance?" This is what Yan Qing is interested in.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated this time. Lingxi shook her head. "I can't come and go as I please. The reason I can come and go here is because of the contract with the Sanglingling app. During the employment period, I can freely enter and exit the original instance and the master's house. However, this is only during the day. I still have to go back at night."
So that's how it is. This is just a working person, or rather, a strange working person.
So, this "Lost Spirits" app is quite powerful. Yan Qing became interested as well.
Lingxi mustered her courage and grabbed Yan Qing's hand. "Master, can you form a contract with me? Don't worry, I'm easy to take care of. I only need one pound of flesh and blood a day."
The terms seemed quite good, but Yan Qing, being a person, still preferred spirit coins. Flesh and blood? Get as far away as possible!
Lingxi, as expected of a qualified maid who had passed the professional training of the "Lingling" app, immediately realized that her employer didn't like her mentioning flesh and blood. So, she promptly added,
"If it's spirit coins, I only need 2 spirit coins for commission per day. Master, I can cook a lot of delicious dishes, and I can do all the housework. I guarantee I can serve you comfortably."
Hmm, Yan Qing silently calculated in her mind that this request was indeed not high.
However, she still has one problem.
Why do you insist on leaving your original instance? Isn't it good there?
Lingxi instantly turned into a saw-mouthed gourd, and could only look at her with pleading eyes.
