Chapter 33 Adds a Lackey
"Luo Luo, my brother is very free lately. You must be very busy. You probably need a lackey. Just use him, use him, use him. You don't need to look for anyone else."
Yu Liang was filled with questions, a sense of crisis washing over him. He had barely settled into his new position as a lackey when someone suddenly appeared to steal his job.
“Hey, my sister has me, her brother, she doesn’t need any lackeys.”
Bao Manman didn't buy it. "Pah, Luo Luo is my sister, and my brother is Luo Luo's brother. Is there any difference between us? Why can you be her brother but not her brother? At least my brother is more handsome than you."
Why do lackeys have to compete in beauty? Yu Liang was about to argue with her when Bao Manman abandoned Bao Shuoyu and ran out, saying, "Anyway, my brother has to be Luo Luo's lackey today, whether he likes it or not. I'm leaving."
Yu Xiaoluo didn't expect them to fight over the position of lackey, but her eyes lit up when she saw Bao Shuoyu.
This is my target, so it's best to keep him by my side. I can use my beauty, kindness, and innocence to influence him.
However, Bao Shuoyu remained silent. He had no idea why Bao Manman had dragged him over. After hearing that he had to be a lackey, he felt as if his life had fallen into a strange vortex.
It seems everything has gone off track, and the situation seems a bit out of control.
"I haven't agreed yet," Bao Shuyu finally managed to say.
Yes, no one even asked for his opinion. Why is that?
Yu Liang laughed, "See, I told you, forced love is never sweet. Bao Shuoyu, don't listen to your silly sister's arrangements. Go somewhere cool and stay there. We're busy and don't have time to deal with you."
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t agree,” Bao Shuyu said seriously.
He squinted his narrow eyes, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned, his eyebrows slightly raised, his lips tightly pursed, his eyes deep and serious, looking at Yu Xiaoluo with a half-smile.
When he's serious, he really looks handsome.
Yu Liang was stunned and didn't refute it for a moment.
After a pause, Yu Xiaoluo said cheerfully, "I've been really busy lately, and I happen to be short-handed. You all can come and help me."
Bao Shuoyu glanced at Yu Liang with disdain. This kid wasn't even worthy of carrying this girl's shoes. His level was too low; he was a complete rookie who could be easily defeated.
He looked at Yu Liang defiantly, "What can you do?"
Yu Liang answered without hesitation, "I can drive. What can you do?"
Bao Shuyu was silent for a few seconds, thinking of countless skills, before finally uttering two words, "Drive."
He then uttered three more words, "I can't."

Bao Shuoyu never expected that he would now be Yu Xiaoluo's lackey, not even a student anymore.
But he is—
Forget it, I can't bring it up; it's pointless anyway.
But following this girl seems not bad, at least it's more interesting than learning to cook by serving dishes at my own restaurant.
He was really afraid that this identity would eventually lead to him being forced to cook by the original owner's parents.
At least he could compete with this girl in cooking, and besides, he really wanted to know what Yu Xiaoluo's true identity was.
Could it be that, like myself, I also stole someone else's body?
Otherwise, at this age, it would be impossible to have such spiritual practice.
Hmm, I need to find out who she is from.
And so, under Yu Xiaoluo's orders, Bao Shuoyu went to get chicken blood and cinnabar. Of course, he wouldn't do it himself; it would be too beneath him. He was—
I sent the black cat to do it.
In the end, it's the black cat who's the poor, unfortunate working person.
Moreover, it was hardworking and only wanted to stay by Bao Shuoyu's side, but Bao Shuoyu was afraid that Yu Xiaoluo would find out its identity, so he didn't let it follow him.
It could only watch with resentful eyes as its master left with the chicken blood and cinnabar it had worked so hard to obtain.
Moreover, it watched the woman from afar and affectionately patted its master's shoulder, saying, "Follow me and I'll have meat to eat. I'll protect you. When the ghost appears, stay close to me to avoid being harmed by its yin energy."
What are you saying? What an ignorant and naive woman. Has the master been bewitched by this woman? He wasn't like this before.
The black cat went berserk once again.
Yu Xiaoluo, you stole my master! I will never forgive you!

When they arrived at Savage Valley that evening, Director Li and Nanshan were already there.
As Yu Xiaoluo instructed, all entrances and exits were sealed off to prevent anyone from accidentally entering and being corrupted when the Yin energy leaked out during the soul gathering.
This was a huge project, and after Yu Xiaoluo gave the instructions, they immediately began to take action.
At this point, it was almost done.
Upon seeing Yu Xiaoluo arrive, Director Li went to greet her. "Xiaoyu, if we succeed this time, I'd like to establish a department specifically to handle these kinds of demons and monsters. Would you be in charge?"
Yu Liang chimed in, "Is there money to be made?"
"Yes, of course there is money to be made. The basic salary is the same as that of our regular employees. In addition, there will be extra rewards for each completed task, depending on the size of the event."
Yu Xiaoluo was about to refuse. She didn't want to be bossed around. She wanted to do whatever she wanted and be free.
However, the system, which had always been very human-like, suddenly spoke up, "Master, this is a good idea. It can increase the speed at which good deeds and merit points are accumulated."
That seems to make sense, but she really doesn't want to be told what to do.
While he was hesitating, Bao Shuoyu said disdainfully, "The Yu family is rich, do they need this little bit of money? Why not open their own restaurant, be responsible for their own profits and losses, and work whenever they want? How great would that be?"
Yu Xiaoluo's eyes lit up, her eyelashes fluttered, and her smile was as bright as a flower. "Brother Shuoyu makes a lot of sense. Uncle Ding, how about this, I'll open a restaurant from now on. If you have any difficult cases that you need our help with, we will definitely do our best to assist you. As for what department to set up, let other metaphysical experts handle that."
Director Ding could only nod when he saw what Yu Xiaoluo said.
As they chatted, they set up the incense table and placed abundant paper money and offerings on it.
"Director Ding, have you forgotten about the three great families of metaphysics?" A cold female voice rang out behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw a woman in her thirties, wearing a black cheongsam with red rose patterns, a stunningly curvaceous figure, and a beautiful, mature, and alluring face, walking gracefully towards them.
Behind them followed a middle-aged man in his forties and an elderly man with white hair and beard, but who was vigorous and had a ruddy complexion.
There were about ten more people behind them, but they didn't follow; they just stood there watching them.
"Hehe, so it's the heads of the Shangguan family, the Yao family, and the Chi family. My apologies for not recognizing you."
Director Ding said politely that, after all, those who could sit in that position were all cunning old foxes, and he had to at least maintain a certain level of respect for the three great metaphysical families.
