"Underage?" Ekri put down his book, his long fingers tapping on the table. He looked somewhat weak, having not seen the sun for a long time.
Xu Qiaoqiao nodded. She looked at Jun Qi's dazed expression, then looked away and jumped onto the box next to her. She sat down like a human, striking a boss-like pose, with her two front paws crossed over her chest.
However, since she was already a chubby and fluffy creature, this action made her look even more adorable.
"Judging from Junjun's appearance, he's definitely not an adult. You're employing child labor, which is immoral and illegal!"
Erik, stroking his chin with his other hand, was hearing the word from the little mole for the first time. He leaned back in his chair, looking lazy and comfortable. After thinking for a few seconds, he began to say, "But no country on the continent of Wright has such a rule. Little guy, where did you find out about this?"
The continent of Light?
Xu Qiaoqiao was stunned. This was the first time she had heard this term. Was the continent of Light the largest name of the place where she lived?
"Have you been to every country?"
Ekri grunted and made some noises through his nose, without denying it.
Seeing how arrogant this guy was, Xu Qiaoqiao blinked, she really didn't expect him to have this trick up his sleeve.
Seeing the little mole speechless, Ekri smiled with satisfaction and then said, "Moreover, none of the laws of any country on the continent of Wright are related to animals. I've read them all, every single one."
"..." Xu Qiaoqiao frowned, not expecting this guy to be so dedicated, actually having read through this stuff. She hadn't even realized what he meant by Wright and the continent.
So, what are you going to say to refute me and save your boyfriend?
Ekri's blue eyes stared at the little mole, watching her struggle to think. His smile widened, and then, as if struck by a sudden thought, he said wickedly, "And, little mole, do you know that wizards are all evil?"
"Huh?"
Xu Qiaoqiao tilted her head, her attention completely drawn to Ai Keli's words. What did he mean?
In the continent of Light, seeing a wizard is a symbol of evil.
Wizards are considered to be messengers of the devil in the human world.
"And then?" After listening to Ai Keli's explanation, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't quite understand what he meant. Could it be that he was implying that she was shameless? Because I'm a bad guy, I can exploit labor to my heart's content.
Seeing the little mole's expression, Ekri laughed a few times and couldn't help but rub her head with his hand. At the same time, he said to Jun Qi, "Little fox, you continue working. Your little girlfriend is negotiating with me. No need to rush."
Jun Qi: "..."
He rolled his eyes at Ikeli.
Then he continued with his work, but not as efficiently as before. He kept glancing at Xu Qiaoqiao, clearly not paying attention to the herbs at all.
Xu Qiaoqiao looked at the smile on the human's lips and rolled her eyes, just like Jun Qi. She thought this human had a pretty good personality at first, but it turned out to be just a facade; he was a bit mischievous.
"That is because these countries have poor productivity and poor development. They only focus on superficial things. This is a very shallow approach. You also mentioned that your wizards have symbols of the devil. At this time, they still believe in such things. This also shows their ignorance."
"You lack judgment, which fully demonstrates that the way the upper echelons manage the lower echelons is wrong. So you can't use those flawed national laws to refute that." He retorted.
Towards the end, Xu Qiaoqiao didn't even know what she was saying anymore, but fortunately she managed to smooth things over.
At this moment, Jun Qi also jumped to Xu Qiaoqiao's side without her noticing. He still felt that it was better for him to stay with the little mole.
After Xu Qiaoqiao finished speaking, without waiting for Ai Keli's reply, she started complaining about the things he had done in front of Ai Keli.
He said he was annoyed by his own lack of effort, so he set up a magic circle on the edge of the house specifically to imprison him.
They agreed that since they were going to repay the debt of gratitude, they should do so properly. They agreed that once they had ground all the medicinal herbs on the table into powder, they could leave.
Speaking of this, Jun Qi felt a surge of displeasure. He couldn't beat this human in a fight, and he had tried to cause trouble a few times, but this house seemed to have a life of its own, which was quite magical.
No matter how messy he makes the room, it will automatically return to its original state after an hour.
At first, Jun Qi didn't believe it, but after trying it several times, he found that it always happened the same way.
Then the human wizard would look at him with a grin, and a few times he would even clap his hands, as if to say, "Go on, go on." This made Jun Qi a little irritated, so he stopped this foolish behavior.
He started diligently grinding these random things into powder, or pounding those little green grass-like plants into medicinal juice. He hadn't seen the little mole for the past few days.
After listening to Jun Qi's words, Xu Qiaoqiao touched his face with heartache. It was a contradiction that she had such a person who loved to tease animals, but was also rescued by him.
The latter's smile grew wider and wider. He nodded, acknowledging the little mole's words. Indeed, these people were ignorant and foolish, arrogant and rampant, especially those scoundrels in the cult. This was absolutely true, and he was very happy.
"You're right, little mole, what do you want?"
Jun Qi and Xu Qiaoqiao were both stunned. Was this guy really that easy to talk to? He gave in so quickly?
Xu Qiaoqiao quickly realized what was happening. She immediately jumped up from the ground, took a few steps toward him, and then stopped. She asked a question first: "If Junjun does it at the speed he was just now, how long will it take to finish?"
Ekri stroked his chin and gave a specific number: "Fourteen days."
Fourteen days, isn't that almost half a month?
So fast? Then why should Junjun study so hard?
Your exploitation is absolutely terrifying.
Xu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes slightly and unconsciously added, "You're not going to increase the amount on those tables later, are you?"
Ike blinked: "..."
Jun Qi was taken aback: "..."
"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person." Aike said this righteously, but his words held no credibility with Xu Qiaoqiao and Jun Qi.
This guy definitely added it!
Jun Qi: Just tell me how you end up doing more and more.
