79. Jealous of her true self
After hanging up the phone with Yu Sheng, Ke Qi still felt somewhat dazed.
Until the little girl in front of her called out, "Master?"
Ke Qi then came to her senses.
"Come in." She sighed softly and led the little succubus into the house.
The little girl was very well-behaved. After entering the house, she followed behind her without looking around or running around. She just stared at her intently.
This made Keqi feel a little uncomfortable, and she lost her original desire to continue drawing.
"You just said your name is Kaka, right?" she asked the little girl.
The little girl looked at her with her clear, big eyes, seemingly trying to understand the meaning of her words. After a long while, she nodded.
"Okay, Kaka."
Keqi simply couldn't treat the little girl in front of her like a pet. She turned on the TV and gently coaxed, "You can watch TV here by yourself tonight. When you get tired, go to sleep quietly. I'll take you home tomorrow, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Kaka tilted her head in confusion, then her eyes suddenly reddened, and she pawed at her, saying, "No."
After saying that, she suddenly stood behind Keqi and used her hands and tail to massage her shoulders and arms while making soft chants.
This left Ke Qi somewhat bewildered: "W-what are you doing?"
"Service." Kaka uttered the two words with some difficulty, her eyes red as she continued to massage Keqi's shoulders.
In that instant, a strange warm current flowed down her shoulders and gradually spread throughout Keqi's body. And with the little girl's gentle chanting, the fatigue from working overtime to paint was somewhat relieved.
Ke Qi couldn't help but let out a soft hum of pleasure, then suddenly remembered what Yu Sheng had just said.
This little succubus has the effect of relieving fatigue.
Keqi herself is a succubus, and she hadn't even realized she had this talent. Could it be that she just hadn't developed it yet?
She felt it was amazing.
The little girl in front of me can not only understand human speech, but also speak human speech. She even has this ability, yet she is only a D-rank.
According to the classification of the National Succubus Administration, D-class succubi have no human consciousness and belong to the pet category.
This was something Ke Qi couldn't understand.
Although the little girl's intelligence does seem to be different from that of normal people, it shouldn't be as low as that of a cat or dog, right?
I have no idea how the Succubus Administration Bureau actually divided things up.
Ke Qi wasn't used to being served like this, especially by such a young girl.
She wanted her to rest and play by herself for a while.
But Kaka seemed to misunderstand Keqi's meaning. Whenever Keqi refused her services, she thought that Keqi didn't want her anymore, and she pouted as if she was about to cry.
Ke Qi did intend to send her back tomorrow, but seeing how scared she looked, she became uncertain and called Yu Sheng to ask.
"What impact would it have on her if I sent her back?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng explained on the other end of the phone, "Yes."
"Actually, Kaka is already an adult, but his physical development is delayed, and that's how he'll be for the rest of his life. That's why he was sold so cheaply, allowing a poor guy like me to get a bargain."
She coughed lightly. "In short, she's already a defective product. If you return her, the merchant will classify her as a defective product, and she'll be treated very poorly from now on."
"A succubus of her rank is different from a high-rank succubus of rank A to S."
"The reason why the Administration classifies them as pets is because their intelligence is only about two years old, at most five years old, and their lifespan is also very short, at most ten years. So they are considered adults at eight months old."
"If it gets returned, the merchant will definitely cut back on her food and clothing, and she probably won't even live for three years."
Ke Qi frowned, "I see~"
"Mmm." Yu Sheng asked, "Qiqi, do you want to return her? Is she too bad?"
Ke Qi glanced at the little girl who was silently watching her shed tears, and sighed softly: "No."
Although I'm not quite used to having such a strange companion in my home all of a sudden.
But if returning the item would lead to such a terrible fate for her...
Ke Qi shook her head, "I won't return it. You should rest, Sheng Sheng. Thank you for giving her to me."
"Never mind," Ke Qi thought.
Let's raise the child first and observe his temperament. If we really can't get along later, then we'll make other plans.
The moment she hung up the phone, Kaka seemed to understand something. She stopped crying and looked at Keqi with a happy smile: "Master~"
It's obvious that they're trying to please them.
"Good girl." Ke Qi felt a little uncomfortable and rubbed her head: "Don't call me master anymore, call me sister."
Now I have absolutely no mood to draw.
After settling Kaka in, Ke Qi immediately shared the news with Gu Zhao.
"Since I've decided to raise him, I have to be responsible, so I'm going to buy Kaka some new clothes and toys tomorrow."
At that moment, looking at her handsome husband on the other end of the video call, dressed in a restrained business suit and clearly still at work, she joked, "Don't you like daughters? This is perfect, you can become a dad early!"
Hearing this, Gu Zhao leaned back lazily in her chair and chuckled, "No, I'm only 20, I don't have a daughter that old."
"Besides," he leaned closer, his tone intimate, "I only love the daughters my darlings give me."
He sighed softly, "Unfortunately, my baby's heat hasn't started yet."
Even if he does arrive, he'll have to wait at least two more years until she graduates.
Sensing his deep regret, Ke Qi found it amusing and changed the subject, asking, "Gu Zhao, are you done with your work? When are you going home?"
He hasn't been back for almost three days.
Brother Gu is ruthless enough to push him to this point.
He now has to occasionally go to school to study, while also making decisions about the racing club he invested in and the biological research institute he poached from Brother Gu.
Now he's back in the family business, spending all his time fighting for power with his brother in a game of Three Kingdoms, which is practically on hellish difficulty, and the level of mental and physical exhaustion he's in is unimaginable to most people.
If he hadn't been naturally energetic and a physically fit athlete, he probably would have been exhausted to death.
"how?"
Gu Zhao raised an eyebrow. "Missed me, huh?"
"Hmm." Ke Qi softened her expression. "I wanted you to get some rest. Don't overwork yourself; your body won't be able to handle it."
...
This long, drawn-out phone call lasted for about 15 minutes before it was forced to stop because Gu Zhao had urgent work to attend to.
Normally, their video calls would last at least an hour.
Ke Qi felt somewhat regretful.
But it was late at night. After washing up and drawing on her tablet for a while, she lay down on the sofa and fell asleep without realizing it.
Exhausted from a long day, she slept soundly until 8:30 the next morning.
When she woke up, she found that she had somehow gotten a blanket on her.
Keqi looked at the blanket on her body, blinked, and then looked to the side, only to find the little girl fast asleep next to her.
Sensing her fiddling with the blanket, the little girl twitched her ears and slowly raised her head.
Upon meeting her gaze, a smile spread across her face: "Sister~"
Ke Qi's heart softened instantly, and he simply revealed his true form, rubbing her head with his tail. "Thank you, Kaka."
Revealing one's true form is out of courtesy to one's own kind.
But when the little girl saw her revealed true form, her eyes widened slightly. Then, a clear look of amazement and a barely perceptible hint of...jealousy flashed in her eyes.
