Chapter 550 - 539: Admission
Xia Yue, in the midst of her cultivation in the alternate space, was completely unaware of the wonderful surprise the system had brought her.
The system brought the otter to the mansion and into the main courtyard. While it settled onto a lounge chair in the yard to rest, the system also kept it company.
Xuanxuan was initially asleep. Perhaps sensing the otter’s presence, it sprinted out from its room. Seeing the otter by the system’s side, Xuanxuan instantly grew alert, adopting an attacking stance.
"Dunce, this is my new little brother," the system responded, pressing its paw against Xuanxuan’s head.
"Meow? Little brother? When did you recruit a little brother? This fellow looks nothing like us, even different from the little black bear and the rest," replied Xuanxuan upon hearing the system’s words. It dropped its aggressive posture and looked at the otter with curiosity.
"Of course, it’s different. It can swim, and like you, has spiritual wisdom. It’s far smarter than those numbskulls," the system particularly looked down on Ziluo’s younglings. It might be due to its latent belief that they had lured Xuanxuan away, which is why it sought this otter as a little brother.
"Meow, it can also cultivate? So, it can help us sell things like we do?" Xuanxuan immediately thought about having one more assistant, and thus selling more merchandise.
"I specifically brought it here to administer the new pet house project for the host," the system informed it, preventing it from having any other ideas.
"Enough, go to sleep. No more chit-chat," the system saw that it was getting late and promptly squashed Xuanxuan’s attempts to speak further, requesting it to keep quiet.
Xuanxuan had no choice but to comply, snuggling up alongside the otter to sleep.
The otter looked at the system and then at Xuanxuan. After its cultivation, its sensitivities had heightened. Given that the creature before it could outmatch it, it dared not chase it away.
