When someone started talking, everyone began to discuss it.
"Of course it's a woman. Didn't you see the master's cautious expression, and how he wrapped the person in his arms up tightly? It must be a woman."
"It could also be a man! We've never heard of a woman by our master's side."
"I've seen it. Once at the Moonlight Bar, I saw my master being so tender to a woman that it was almost painful."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, I was there too. I've never seen my master laugh or act all pitiful and coquettish before."
"Who is that woman? How could she possibly command a master whom even the King of Hell fears?"
"Chief of Wine, you've always been by the master's side, you should know that very well!"
Everyone in the living room stopped and looked at Dijiu.
Di Jiu: "...I dare not discuss matters concerning my master."
Everyone looked at Di Jiu with disappointment, who knew everything but said nothing.
Di Wu chuckled and began to speak: "You all had better treat Miss Shi with respect. Because... she is our future mistress."
Di Shi and Di Jiu looked at Di Wu in surprise. Di Jiu whispered, "How could you spread rumors about Miss Shi's identity?"
“I’m not spreading rumors. Miss Shi is the master’s girlfriend. If Miss Shi weren’t so young, she would have been our mistress long ago.”
Everyone's eyes were filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Chief Wu. We will definitely treat Miss Shi with the utmost respect."
Chief Wu has always stayed by his master's side, so he must know things that they don't, and what he says must be correct.
Thirteen stood behind Emperor Wine as if she were invisible, as if nothing could concern her.
Di Chenxiao placed Shi Xi on the bed and gently kissed her forehead.
"What a lazy cat."
Di Chenxiao turned and went downstairs. He needed to finish explaining what he needed to do before he could wholeheartedly spend time with Xixi.
Upon seeing Di Chenxiao, Di San called out, "Master."
Emperor Umbrella is responsible for overseas affairs. This black market event in City A was mostly handled by Emperor Umbrella.
The others also respectfully greeted, "Master."
Without giving anyone a glance, Di Chenxiao said coldly, "Thirteen, go to the second floor and wait for Xixi to wake up so you can notify me. The rest of you, go to the conference room for a meeting."
Everyone: "...Yes."
Di Wu sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. Sure enough, his master only showed a little warmth in front of Shi Xi. He treated everyone else the same.
In the center of the large conference room was a pitch-black table. Di Chenxiao sat opposite the door, Di Jiu and Di Wu sat to his lower right, and Di San and Di Shi sat to his lower left.
The others sat in their assigned seats, each with a cup of coffee in front of them.
Di Chenxiao sat casually in his seat, his fingers lightly tapping the table. He was thinking about what delicious food he would take Xixi to eat later, wondering if the little glutton would be able to get used to the food here.
Seeing that Di Chenxiao remained silent, none of the others dared to speak first.
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Di Wu clutched his chest and said helplessly, "Master, can they begin their report now?"
Even a fool could tell that his master was thinking of Shi Xi.
Besides Shi Xi, who else can make the master lose his mind?
The others wished they could dig a hole and bury themselves; they didn't want to report it!
Di Chenxiao stopped tapping his fingers on the table and said coldly, "Three minutes each. Begin your reports."
