As soon as the system sprite Lin Lanlan appeared in the mall, eight pairs of eyes turned to look at her, making her originally relaxed mood tense again.
Before anyone could ask, she spoke up: "I've consulted the main system, and there's a reason why the employee contracts are in her hands."
Lin Lanlan pointed at Belle, then swallowed hard.
"Speak quickly, stop dawdling."
Lin Qianqian crossed her arms and waited for the system to explain.
"We were almost at the random plane, but when we passed by this plane, we were summoned by a powerful force, so we temporarily landed here."
Oh, I see!
Lin Qianqian understood. She glanced at Belle and realized that it made sense.
"Wait, something's not right. She's summoning a powerful being, so why are employee contracts appearing in the summoning circle?"
Upon hearing her host's question, Lin Lanlan gathered her thoughts and thought for a while before answering.
“Normally, summoning is random. Her summoning words are: ‘Request a powerful being from another world to descend, rescue me from my predicament, and eliminate the person before me.’ We, who are passing through this plane, just happen to meet these conditions. Especially the ‘powerful being’ part, because of your and Yunze’s own cultivation levels, plus some other reasons, it matches the summoning words, so the summoning magic circle sensed you immediately.”
Lin Lanlan first flattered her host, praising his high cultivation level.
The plan is to first please the host, so that she won't be held accountable for not discovering the employee's lost contract in time.
Therefore, not only does Lin Qianqian understand her own system spirit, but her system spirit also understands her.
Lin Qianqian was indeed secretly pleased; she was a powerful being after all.
Seeing that Lin Qianqian was in a much better mood, Lin Lanlan continued, "But we are a dimensional trading mall. If we want to help her, we can only trade with her. But we can't trade normally in that situation, so we had to settle for the second option. We made her a member of our mall, and the mall will protect her. And as her boss, you can't just stand by and do nothing; you will definitely help her."
"How can you be so sure I'll save her? I'm not some saint who saves everyone I see!"
"As long as you see the employee contract in her hand, you will definitely step in to save her."
"That's a clever plan. Wait, something's not right. If the summoning magic circle senses me and Yunze, then it should be me or Yunze who is being summoned, not the employee contract."
"That's because you were inside the mall at the time, so you and the mall were treated as one."
"Okay, that explanation makes a rough guess."
Lin Qianqian stopped asking questions and turned to reach out to Belle. Belle was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and handed over the contract in her hand.
On the other side, Lin Lanlan noticed that Lin Qianqian had shifted her attention and quietly wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
Lin Qianqian took the contract from Belle, glanced at the signature on it, and saw that the handwriting was messy and she didn't recognize it.
However, as the owner of the online store, I can understand all the contents of the contract, including the signature.
Moreover, before they transmigrated, they had attached multi-race translators behind their ears, so reading their names was not difficult for them at all.
"Belle Kerry Lotta?"
“Yes, boss, hello! Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Belle Kree Lota, the eldest princess of the Kree Magic Kingdom. And that is my younger brother, Beck Kree Lota, the prince of the Kree Magic Kingdom.”
Belle introduced herself while performing a royal bow.
His movements were fluid and graceful, showing nobility and elegance; one could tell at a glance that he had received a good education.
"Princess? Prince?"
"Wow, this is the first time I've ever seen a prince and princess, and I just gave one of the princes a physical exam."
Jiang Shuran and Wen Mingyue whispered to each other after they finished examining Kerry.
"I've seen princes and princesses before when I was on Earth, when I went on foreign visits with my superiors. But this is the first time I've seen a princess with magic."
This was also the first time Lin Qianqian had ever met a princess, and a magical princess at that.
However, she felt it was somewhat outrageous to have a princess work for her. Besides, the princess was desperate and had no choice but to sign the contract.
"Princess Belle".
"Just call me Belle."
Belle was well aware of her and her brother's current situation and dared not put on any princess airs.
Moreover, standing before her was a powerful being from another world.
With her magic and divine summoning array, what she summons must be a being of god or demonic level.
Although the information from the formation was vague, she firmly believed in her judgment.
Moreover, having just witnessed Yunze's abilities, they already regard him as a god of magic in their hearts.
“Alright, Belle, you are a princess after all, it’s not appropriate for you to work here. This employee contract can be terminated, as long as I agree and then we just need to complete some formalities.”
"Don't cancel! I'm so happy to have been chosen to become an employee of the Dimensional Mall!"
Upon hearing that Lin Qianqian wanted to terminate the contract, Belle, fearing being abandoned, immediately made her stance clear.
"Don't worry, I didn't say I'd terminate the contract immediately. You can stay in the mall for now and receive its protection. Your brother can stay too. We can terminate the employee contracts when we leave this plane. Of course, we won't protect you for nothing. As a princess of this plane, you can definitely offer rewards, such as magical items and spellbooks."
Lin Qianqian thought that since she had come to this magical plane, she should bring back more magical items.
“But, but…” Belle found it difficult to say.
"But I am currently in exile and have nothing of value to offer as compensation."
"So she's a princess of a fallen kingdom. No wonder she's being hunted down; those people are here to eliminate her completely."
Lin Qianqian's words were very realistic, and Belle felt a little flustered.
She was truly desperate now. She wouldn't care if she were alone, but she had a younger brother. She couldn't die, and she couldn't let herself be abandoned so soon after she found a powerful patron.
"Boss, please don't fire me. I'm very useful. I'm the youngest archmage on this continent. I have a high magical talent; I'm an all-elemental mage, proficient in all types of magic, and also skilled in alchemy and potion-making..."
Belle desperately tries to sell herself, prove her worth, and strive to stay so that she and her brother can save their lives.
Just then, a silver glint flashed in Yunze's eyes, and his pupils involuntarily turned into vertical pupils. He was once again passively receiving some images.
"Qianqian!" Yunze suddenly called out to her.
Lin Qianqian turned her head and saw that the silver light in his eyes had not yet faded.
Lin Qianqian guessed that her husband must have suddenly foreseen something, so she changed her tune.
"Alright, don't rush me. I didn't say I had to fire you. You have plenty of time to think about whether you really want to stay as a mall employee. You don't need to make a decision right now."
After Lin Qianqian finished speaking, without waiting for her reply, she turned to Jiang Shuran and said, "Shuran, take the two siblings to settle down. After Bei'er has rested, we'll discuss how to deal with the people Yunze caught."
"OK."
Jiang Shuran walked up to the siblings.
"Belle, I'll take you to freshen up and get some rest."
