Chapter 301 Ning Zixuan’s Promise
The sunlight outside the window gently spilled onto the shimmering pool, the golden glow seemingly draping the entire surface of the water in a dreamlike veil.
As Ning Zixuan's thoughts wandered, Bai Xiaoyuan's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "Miss Ning's gaze seems a little impolite?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's just that Mr. Bai's figure is so good that even I, as a woman, am a little jealous."
Whether it was because Bai Xiaoyuan had been a strong woman for a long time or because her aura was too special, Ning Zixuan felt a little pressure from Bai Xiaoyuan's beautiful, slender eyes.
The other person was clearly just an ordinary person.
"Hehe, that's ridiculous. Miss Ning has a great figure too. Calling me President Bai is too formal. We don't look that far apart in age. Just call me Sister Bai."
Hearing Ning Zixuan's praise, Bai Xiaoyuan smiled faintly, and the pressure in the air instantly dissipated. She then got to the point: "I wonder what brings Miss Ning here to see me this time?"
Ning Zixuan took a deep breath and a warm smile appeared on her face. "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard that Sister Bai's warehouse in Ninomiya City was attacked by Abyssal Beasts. If there are any goods that need to be delivered recently, they can be temporarily stored in our Yinmo Company's warehouse in Ninomiya City."
"Hehehe, is that all?"
Bai Xiaoyuan gazed at Ning Zixuan with a smile in her alluring eyes, as if she could see right through her.
"Of course not. I was planning to hand over the construction project of the Yinmo Hotel in several urban areas near Yeqiu City to Sister Bai. I originally planned to cooperate with the Gu family, but recently I heard that Sister Bai seems to be preparing to enter the real estate industry. I thought it didn't matter who I handed it over to, so I just came to find Sister Bai."
Perhaps feeling flustered by Bai Xiaoyuan's gaze, Ning Zixuan directly revealed the backup plan.
Bai Xiaoyuan didn't rush to express her opinion. Instead, she quietly looked at Ning Zixuan, seemingly trying to discern something from her eyes. However, Ning Zixuan quickly calmed down from her earlier panic, and her expression became peaceful.
It's no longer so easy for people to discern the truth from the falsehood.
Seeing that she couldn't glean any information from the other person's face, Bai Xiaoyuan let out a soft whisper:
"Oh~ I don't think my relationship with Miss Ning is that deep. Isn't this gift a bit too formal? Or perhaps..."
Bai Xiaoyuan paused slightly, then quietly grasped Ning Zixuan's warm, soft hand, smiling sweetly as she asked, "Miss Ning, is there anything else you'd like me to help you with?"
"Let me guess. Based on my recent understanding of Ms. Ning's company, you don't seem to be facing any financial pressure, and the hotel's operations are quite good. Since it's not business, it must be a personal matter. Let me think... it seems that since Ms. Ning returned to Yeqiu City, she hasn't had a male companion by her side. Could it be that you're planning to ask me to find you a boyfriend?"
Ning Zixuan looked at Bai Xiaoyuan in front of her, her elegant smile frozen on her face, and even her cherry lips unconsciously parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief.
No, you just touched her hand and you saw right through her?
"Hey, I think I guessed right."
Bai Xiaoyuan noticed Ning Zixuan's stiffness, covered her mouth and chuckled a few times: "I've met all sorts of people who want to talk to me about business and cooperation, but this is the first time I've seen someone want to find me a boyfriend."
Faced with Bai Xiaoyuan's teasing, Ning Zixuan suddenly felt relieved. Since the other party seemed to have X-ray vision, there was no need for her to hide anything anymore. She looked directly at Bai Xiaoyuan:
"Sister Bai, it's like this, I don't know if you know him or not, but he's nominally affiliated with your Baiyun Group. We grew up together since childhood, so you could say we're childhood sweethearts."
I initially thought he was an orphan with no relatives left in the world, but recently I've noticed that you, Sister Bai, seem to take very good care of Bai Yuze, and since we both share the surname Bai, I wondered if you might be his relative.
At this point, Ning Zixuan said somewhat shyly, "If that's the case, then of course it's good to establish a good relationship beforehand. If not, then it's alright, consider it a gift from Sister Bai to me, and I hope Sister Bai will take good care of me in the future."
Ning Zixuan's frank words instantly made the atmosphere quiet and silent. During the silence, Ning Zixuan had a faint smile on her face, which was quite confident that she would not be afraid in front of thousands of troops. However, underwater, her snow-white toes were almost digging through the floor tiles.
Seemingly noticing the other's embarrassment, Bai Xiaoyuan laughed heartily, unintentionally exuding a strong feminine charm that even made Ning Zixuan's heart flutter. "Hehehe, if Miss Ning thinks she can marry our Xiaobai by just paying such a small dowry, I'm afraid it won't be that simple~"
"As far as I know, at least three women are eyeing him!"
Ning Zixuan: "...
In the spacious, azure swimming pool, Bai Xiaoyuan's words could be heard.
Ning Zixuan was like a cat being lifted into the air, her limbs dangling, as if time had frozen at that moment.
His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound. Even his usually agile body became incredibly heavy, as if he were tightly bound by some invisible force, unable to resist.
Good news: Bai Xiaoyuan may indeed be Bai Yuze's relative.
The bad news is that the other party seems to be less interested in the offer she made.
While Ning Zixuan remained silent, Bai Xiaoyuan continued to scrutinize her. Overall, she was quite satisfied with Ning Zixuan; she had a curvy figure and a decent appearance, and she didn't have to worry about her future children not having enough milk.
However, these are all secondary. The most important thing is that Ning Zixuan has the manners of a junior. She knows to bring a gift when meeting an elder, unlike Hoshino Seri, who threatened her on her first visit. How could she act like a junior at all?
"Then... Sister Bai, what do you think if I give the entire Yinmo Company to Bai Yuzhe as a betrothal gift?"
Ning Zixuan bit her lip, looking exactly like a spendthrift who would rather have a "beauty" than an empire.
Bai Xiaoyuan shook her head and smiled gently: "Hehe, no matter how big your Yinmo Company is, can it be as big as my Baiyun Group? From now on, this will all be given to Xiaobai by me. Actually, it's not that complicated. You just need to answer one question for me, which can also be considered a promise."
"Sister Bai, please speak."
Bai Xiaoyuan's lips curved into a beautiful smile, revealing a sly glint: "The question is actually very simple: are you willing to give up everything for Bai Yuze? Money, status, wealth, fame, even—"
"I do!"
Ning Zixuan didn't even listen to Bai Xiaoyuan's last words before nodding in agreement.
At first, she thought it was some particularly difficult question, but she didn't expect the other party to ask such a simple and strange question.
"Very good, I hope you can remember this promise. I will give you and Xiaobai plenty of time to develop your relationship. As for Hoshino Seri, don't worry about her, she's just a loser." Bai Xiaoyuan's eyes lit up with a smile when she heard Ning Zixuan say this.
Hearing Bai Xiaoyuan say this, Ning Zixuan felt extremely happy and complicated. She hadn't expected the journey to be so smooth, and she had actually managed to successfully flank the enemy team.
Although she sensed something odd about the other person's words, it wasn't a big problem for her.
If she loses her career, she can ask her father for more funds to start another business, but if Bai Yuze is gone, then it's truly over.
Given his personality, if Hoshino Seri really got married, even if Ning Zixuan were to strip naked and lie on his bed, he wouldn't even glance at her.
In the lounge, Bai Xiaoyuan and Ning Zixuan were lying on the sofa, with two pretty and cute girls standing behind them giving them massages.
One was wearing a light green dress, and the other was wearing a dark black Lolita dress. They blinked and looked at Ning Zixuan with curiosity.
Is this Prince Huan Die's girlfriend in the insect world?
I didn't see anything special about them. I feel like their strength might not be enough to defeat the Abyss Twins. If they go to the Abyss in the future, with their thin arms and legs, will they be able to protect Princess Huan Die? "Um, Sister Bai, is it convenient to tell me about your relationship with Bai Yuzhe?" Ning Zixuan asked cautiously.
"They're siblings."
Faced with Ning Zixuan's question, Bai Xiaoyuan answered very decisively.
In the afternoon, at Yunjing Tiancheng residential area, Violet and the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team returned home one after another.
All day today, they have been searching for the strange people, the abyssal beasts, and the transmission routes of the Soul Ink Fragments in Yeqiu City.
To be honest, they originally thought that during this period, many people would definitely come to challenge their Kikyo Judgment Team. After all, their current overall strength in CCSA is between BA and BA. Even if they can't find the Calamity Event, they can still get some points from the Judgment Team competition.
However, what puzzled them greatly was that no adjudication team was willing to come and challenge them.
Later, Xia Qing simply asked in the CCSA comments section why no one was challenging the Kikyo Judgment Team, given their high score.
Soon, a helpful magical girl replied, "The captain of the Kikyo Judgment Squad is Kikyo the Mage, and the vice-captain is Violet the Mage. Just based on that level of prestige, would any ordinary judgment squad dare to challenge them? If you're a new magical girl, you can directly search for basic magic and the 'Magical Girl Code' on CCSA. You'll find that most of the basic magic skills we're learning now were open-sourced by Kikyo the Mage, and the 'Magical Girl Code' we're learning was compiled by Violet the Mage..."
Upon seeing this comment, the younger magical girls felt both proud and somewhat annoyed. It wasn't because their Kikyo Judgment Squad was too powerful that they didn't challenge them; it was entirely out of respect for Kikyo and Violet.
Fortunately, Sister Violet seemed to realize that they wanted to prove themselves, and promised to take them to challenge the Judgment Teams in other areas in the next few days.
However, the intensity at that time is hard to say.
The strength they perceived was completely different from the strength that Sister Violet had in mind.
There's always this type of girl who thinks that getting a passing grade is pretty good, while Sister Violet thinks they should at least get 100 points to be considered normal.
This feeling of wanting their daughters to succeed really puts a lot of pressure on them.
Fortunately, Violet is really gentle in other ways.
For example, right now, the magical girl juniors who had just returned home immediately surrounded Violet, "Violet-neechan, I want to eat hairy crabs today!"
"What's so good about hairy crabs? They have hard shells, little meat, and they're prickly to the mouth. I want to eat stir-fried squid with millet peppers."
"Sister Violet, I want to eat matcha ice cream."
Hearing the younger generation's requests one after another, Violet smiled gently, her eyes full of doting: "Alright, alright, I'll get it for you all. As long as you're obedient, even if you want the moon, I'll get it for you."
Upon hearing Violet's words, Bai Youqing's eyes darted around, and then a sly smile appeared on her face. She grasped Violet's delicate, fair hand and said coquettishly, "Then, Sister Violet, I want you to bathe with me."
Violet: "..."
Magical Girl Junior:
"Yes, I don't want to eat hairy crabs anymore, I just want Sister Violet to help us take a bath!"
Xia Qing immediately gave up eating hairy crabs and chose to eat violets instead.
The other magical girl juniors looked at each other and quickly united: "We want Violet-neechan to give us a bath and scrub our backs, or we can give Violet-neechan a bath."
Violet's face stiffened for a moment, then she glared fiercely at Bai Youqing, "No, I absolutely cannot agree to this request."
But at this moment, Violet's response was no longer important; the girls of Kikyo's Judgment Squad had already begun to act.
The poor little girl was like a pig or sheep waiting to be slaughtered. She was forcibly carried into the bathroom by five girls, and her clothes were quickly stripped off. Bai Youqing was in charge of washing Violet's soft, long hair, while the other four girls were responsible for her limbs.
"I must say, Sister Violet's skin is so soft!"
"Huh? Wasn't Violet-neechan supposed to be emotionless? Why does she seem a bit bigger? Could it be that her body is starting to develop?"
"Alright, hurry up and wash, don't let Violet catch a cold. She was feeling dizzy a few days ago!"
"Too."
After that, the magical girl juniors stopped discussing and began to clean themselves seriously, looking as attentive and serious as if they were taking notes in a classroom.
This left Violet with very mixed feelings. If you have this much free time, you might as well kill a few more Abyss Beasts and improve your own strength.
A dozen minutes later, they carried Violet out of the bathroom. One of them dried her hair, and the other put on a new dress. Their division of labor was very clear.
Even when Violet finally looked at herself in the mirror wearing a Lolita dress, she was still surprised.
Bai Youqing carefully braided her light purple long hair into several small and delicate braids, adorned with tiny silver hair accessories. Her newly bought Lolita dress looked very beautiful, with intricate yet exquisite lace trim around the neckline, cuffs, and hem. The layers of ruffles resembled blooming flowers, swaying gently in the wind.
Beneath the hem of her skirt, her long, straight legs occasionally peeked out, paired with a pair of delicate white stockings.
Clearly, these magical girl juniors did not act on a whim, but rather had planned it all along.
"Sigh, you bought new dresses, but you could have let me finish cooking before wearing them. How can I cook for you looking like this?" Violet sighed. She felt bad if she got her new dresses dirty while cooking.
It's different if it's a magic dress; stains will be automatically removed by magic when they get close.
"Hmph, don't think we don't know you, Sister Violet. You always lock your bedroom door before you go to sleep, so we never have a chance to surprise you!" Xia Qing said righteously.
"How did you know...?"
Before Violet could finish speaking, Bai Youqing interrupted her from the other side, "Sister Violet, were you doing something inappropriate behind closed doors at night? Confess!"
Violet was also taken aback by Bai Youqing's counterattack, so she simply stopped explaining and instead gave Xia Qing and Bai Youqing two taps on the head. "What are you two up to, trying to break into my room so late at night instead of sleeping?"
Seeing Bai Youqing and Xia Qing get beaten up, Tianyin pursed her lips but ultimately remained silent.
Choose to reopen the book and continue studying.
In the end, Violet chased the two of them to the kitchen to cook for the members of the Kikyo Judgment Team. Bai Youqing cooked while Xia Qing assisted.
"Xia Qing, when you were giving Violet a bath just now, did you notice that Violet's belly seemed to have gotten a little bigger?"
"Oh, really?"
Xia Qing put the washed vegetables into the basket, then smiled and said casually, "It's normal. Haven't you noticed that Sister Violet has been eating a lot lately? It's probably because she's been treated like a child too many times lately, and she wants to grow taller, hahaha."
"Yeah?"
Hearing Xia Qing's explanation, Bai Youqing's doubts did not dissipate. Instead, they seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, spreading in a more terrifying and heart-pounding direction.
She didn't want to think about this outcome, nor did she dare to.
