Ninety-Nine continued expressionlessly, "She was fishing in the tree. The fish she caught was strong and powerful. Although she barely won against it, she forgot she was in a tree and lost her footing because of the momentum as she leaned back—"
"Then he fell from the tree."
Ye Qi: ...There's no need to say the last sentence.
Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li mercilessly laughed: "Pfft... Hahahahahaha!"
"Who was trying to look cool by fishing from a tree? They didn't catch any fish and just fell down! Hahahaha!"
Ye Qi argued, "That was just a trivial mistake. Actually, I really do know how to fish from trees."
Ye Qi.
It's all about having a mouth.
Because Jiujiu was so cute, Ye Xinchu couldn't help but tug at her hair: "You're following Ye Qi just because of this?"
Ninety-nine shook her head: "Not entirely."
"Later I continued to watch her. She went to catch fish with her brother. When she picked up a fish, she felt that it was slippery to the touch, and then she touched the tail of the fish. She was so focused on touching it that she didn't hold it properly and the fish jumped up and slapped her twice."
Ninety-nine continued without expression, "She was slapped twice by the fish. The young lady cried and wanted to find her aunt and uncle, but because she was running too fast, she lost her footing and fell into the stream, swallowing a big mouthful of water. Then she stopped crying."
Ye Xinchu found it amusing: "Why?"
Ye Xinchu has no memory of this period, probably because she didn't have time to look back while she was working.
"Because she felt that she had drunk her own foot bath water and then vomited, she had no time to think about her grief."
"Pfft." Upon hearing this, Jiang Li finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! That's hilarious!"
Even Jiang Yihuan couldn't help but smirk. Hearing about Ye Qi's embarrassing childhood, she could sense Ye Qi's happy times from the few words she heard. Just thinking about how happy Ye Qi was as a child made her feel at ease.
She wished time could stand still at this moment, so she wouldn't have to worry about the annoying plot or the damn fate.
Jiang Li laughed so hard she almost fell over, wiping away her tears, and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?"
Ninety-nine nodded: "When the young master was helping his aunt with farming, he thought the mud was fun. He shoveled a lot of mud and threw it into a bucket. He tricked his older brother and sister into playing with it. Then they went to the stream to catch a fish, buried it in the mud with only its head sticking out, put a tube in the fish's mouth, and poured water into the tube for the fish."
Others: Good and bad brats.
"The fish struggled for a long time trying to break free of the sand pile, but failed. The little master and his older brothers and sisters wanted to see if the fish could drink water like it drinks milk tea, but found that it could not. When the fish was about to die, they hurriedly put it back."
"After the fish survived, they sat by the stream chatting. When the young master wasn't paying attention, the fish jumped up and slapped him twice."
Ye Xinchu: "Pfft... Hahahaha! Don't make it too funny, hahahahaha!"
Jiang Li laughed so hard she could hardly breathe.
Only Jiang Yihuan wondered, "Can fish jump that high?"
The explanation given by Jiujiu was: "Perhaps it's because this world is full of strange things."
Ninety-nine: "Oh right, my lady may not have noticed, but the fish she caught and the fish that was slapped twice were the same fish."
Hearing about being slapped by a fish was 50% funny.
Hearing about being slapped by the same fish is 100% hilarious.
Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li laughed so hard they kept hiccuping: "Why does this kid always get beaten up by fish, hahaha!"
Now that Ye Qi finally knows the truth, she wants nothing more than to go back and kill the fish, grab it, take it home, put it in the fish tank, and make it blow bubbles every day, then not let the other fish have any contact with it!
Isolate it!
Suddenly, Jiujiu stopped talking. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "I'm sleepy. I want to go to sleep."
"Oh, then you can go back."
Ninety-nine looked up, her clear eyes shining brightly like jewels: "I can't go back. I don't remember the way back."
Ye Qi: "?"
Adhering to the principle of serving the client, Ye Qi pointed to Ninety-Nine and looked at Ye Xinchu: "Can you send her back?"
Ye Xinchu shook her head: "No, the Super S-level system is not under our jurisdiction."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi and Jiu Shi Jiu stared at each other wide-eyed.
Ninety-nine stared intently at Ye Qi.
Ye Qi looked at the other person with empathy: "Then how will you get back?"
Ninety-Nine gave a cold "hmm": "My older brother and sister will probably come looking for me when they find out I'm not here. Can I stay at your house for a while? I won't stay for free, I can give you another hundred million."
Ye Qi silently looked at Ye Xinchu, who understood her gaze and nodded at her.
Ye Xinchu's response clearly told Ye Qi that the money Jiujiu gave was genuine.
Thinking Ye Qi disagreed, Jiu Shijiu asked blankly again, "Is one hundred million too little? Then... shall I give you an S-grade gold gift pack? I remember you said you liked that specific character card, I can give you some more, or you can win it 100% in the lottery?"
Upon hearing that there was a character-specific card, Ye Qi's eyes lit up: "I'll take it!"
Upon hearing about the S-level gold gift pack, Ye Xinchu and Jiang Li, who knew the details, immediately became excited: "No way, you just gave away an S-level gold gift pack like that?"
Hearing this and recalling their excited tone, she realized this was something special: "Is the gold gift pack important?"
"Of course! An S-rank item can be redeemed with points, which can be earned either by completing tasks or by exchanging money. An S-rank item is equivalent to tens of millions of points, or a thousand points. The gold gift pack contains ten random S-rank items."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qi immediately looked down at Jiujiu.
I knew Jiujiu was generous, but I didn't expect him to be this generous!
Ninety-nine ignored their conversation, rubbed her eyes, and reached out to Ye Qi for a hug: "I'm sleepy."
Whenever she was sleepy, her older brother and sister would pick her up, so much so that she developed the habit of needing to be held to fall asleep.
Realizing what she had done, Jiujiu suddenly woke up with a start. How could she forget that Ye Qi was not her sister!
Will I be disliked if I suddenly ask for a hug?
She didn't want to be a substandard system and be disliked by her mistress.
Ye Qi remained silent, which made Jiu Shijiu even more uneasy.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qi picked her up and put her in his arms, letting her sleep in a comfortable position.
Do you mind if I chat with the other women?
Ninety-nine shook her head: "I don't mind."
"Okay, go to sleep."
Ninety-nine nestled in Ye Qi's arms and fell into a deep sleep, still faintly smelling a pleasant fragrance. She couldn't help but snuggle closer before settling into the most comfortable position to sleep.
Ye Qi continued the conversation: "Where were we?"
Jiang Li clapped her hands: "Let me think, it seems to be about complaining about your poisoning."
Jiang Li then sighed: "You two are no different from Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, one of you is so eager to eat cake that you get poisoned."
"The other one always mysteriously gets lost and abducted by human traffickers, so I have to skip work every day to go and rescue him!"
