Chapter 6: So, Boss, are you just selling me off like this?

Seeing that the teacup in front of Shiroyasha was already empty, Black Rabbit hurriedly stood up to refill it for her.

However, while pouring the tea, Black Rabbit was still a bit distracted.

Black Rabbit truly did not want to give up on this hope for No Name to return to the past, and for this, she was willing to sacrifice everything.

It was just that... some things cannot be achieved simply by making sacrifices.

Even if Black Rabbit was willing to pay any price, could she, a mere four-digit, really pull it off?

Didn't she see that even Shiroyasha had a look of utter helplessness?

This hope, one could only say it was a glimmer of hope at best.

"Ahem, Black Rabbit, the tea is about to overflow."

Watching the absent-minded Black Rabbit, Su Nian whispered a reminder; if the tea overflowed while pouring, it would be quite impolite.

Black Rabbit instantly snapped back to reality and gave a slightly apologetic smile to Su Nian and Shiroyasha.

However, when Black Rabbit looked at Su Nian, her gaze lingered for a moment, and what no one noticed was a flash of desolation in her eyes.

After all, if not for the incident where an unknown Demon King attacked?

Then Su Nian would likely have already been her companion, or even her junior.

Black Rabbit was well aware of the strategic value of Su Nian's abilities, as well as his outstanding skills in logistics and commerce.

Although Little Garden is a super-magic world where Demon Kings roam everywhere, and for three-digit or two-digit beings, creating a world is not even a difficult task.

But for lower-layer seven-digit, six-digit, or even five-digit Communities, the prices of space-type or Boundary-type Gift props are quite exorbitant.

Most Communities even rely on horse-drawn carriages to transport goods, and they have to pay special fees when passing through a Boundary Gate.

And the Prop Cards Su Nian makes could completely solve such troubles; if they were put up for sale, they would absolutely sell out.

As for strategic value, being able to travel freely in and out of Little Garden is already enough to have strategic value.

Especially within the current Community, No Name, which doesn't have a single adult, is in extreme need of a reliable, mature adult—a leader.

As for Black Rabbit herself? Black Rabbit did not think she could shoulder such a responsibility.

If only Su Nian could join No Name.

But the reality was that Su Nian had now become Shiroyasha's Subordinate God, and could practically be considered as having joined Thousand Eyes.

This person who should have been her companion had now been snatched away by Lady Shiroyasha.

However, Shiroyasha seemed to have noticed the desolation in Black Rabbit's eyes; she turned her head to look at Su Nian, then looked at Black Rabbit.

A few traces of amusement and mischief couldn't help but rise in her eyes.

"What? Staring at my Subordinate God for so long?"

"Has Black Rabbit taken a fancy to my Subordinate God?"

As she spoke, Shiroyasha pulled Su Nian in front of her, patted Su Nian's shoulder, and pinched Su Nian's cheek.

"Look at this sturdy physique, this handsome face, and this Gift with super potential."

"Black Rabbit, it's normal for your heart to be stirred."

"Hey, Boss, that doesn't sound like a compliment, does it?"

Listening to Shiroyasha's description, Su Nian couldn't help but have a row of black lines appear on his face.

"The more I hear this, the more it sounds like you're selling a male slave!!"

"Ahem, don't worry about those details."

Shiroyasha waved her hand nonchalantly, signaling Su Nian to shut his mouth.

But hearing Shiroyasha say "heart stirred," Black Rabbit felt a bit awkward, and a flush of crimson couldn't help but spread across her face.

Even her originally blue-and-pink long hair and rabbit ears turned cherry-pink, showing just how great the emotional change in Black Rabbit was at this moment.

What to do? I'm doomed, I'm doomed!

I was eyeing someone else's Retainer, and now that the owner has discovered it, how should I resolve this awkward atmosphere?

In Black Rabbit's view, Shiroyasha had discovered that she was eyeing Su Nian and intended to poach her talent.

The important thing was, she really had wanted to poach from Shiroyasha just now.

And the intuition of the strong is quite terrifying; looking at it now, Shiroyasha had definitely discovered her thoughts.

"So, Black Rabbit-chan, do you want to buy him over?"

"I'm sorry, Lady Shiroyasha, I shouldn't have had the thought of poaching Lord Su Nian!"

Black Rabbit and Shiroyasha spoke at the same time.

Black Rabbit was stunned for a moment upon hearing Shiroyasha's words.

While Shiroyasha revealed a cunning smile, as expected, watching Black Rabbit fall into her trap.

Shiroyasha satisfiedly picked up her fan and patted Su Nian's still-sturdy physique.

"So, Black Rabbit, how about trading him for your three photo albums?"

"Huh?"

Su Nian and Black Rabbit were both stunned for a moment.

"So, Boss, you're just selling me off like this?"

Su Nian said, clutching his heart in great sorrow; he had only just acknowledged this boss and latched onto this powerful backer, right?

Was she really going to leave him just like that?

Heartache, unspeakable heartache!

"You brat, act normal!"

Shiroyasha couldn't help but smash her fan onto Su Nian's forehead, creating a very anime-style bump on his head.

The bump was even faintly emitting smoke.

It directly caused Su Nian to hold his head in pain and squat to the side to sulk.

Wailing and sobbing~~~~

"I only had you look after them at the No Name base; this is a test for you!"

If she didn't shove Su Nian into No Name for training, was she really supposed to keep Su Nian by her side?

Sorry, Su Nian isn't some beautiful young girl, after all.

Besides, Shiroyasha didn't want an extra male creature in her life!

"Okay, Boss, as long as Boss hasn't given up on me, that's fine."

Su Nian even excitedly hugged Shiroyasha's thigh again; in Little Garden, not having a thigh to cling to is equivalent to playing chess without wearing a helmet.

That would offer absolutely no sense of security.

It's good that the thigh hasn't abandoned him.

Then Su Nian was dodged by the disgusted Shiroyasha.

Hmm, that is also a reason; at the very least, Shiroyasha wouldn't like a male creature who enjoys hugging her thigh.

Shaking with anger and feeling cold, when will we men ever be able to stand up!!

Leaving behind only Su Nian, who was drawing circles on the ground to the side.

"So, Black Rabbit, what do you think? How about three photo albums to hire this guy for three years?"

Shiroyasha said with great confidence; just three photo albums to trade for a stock with potential, a Five-Digit God working for you for three years.

No matter how you think about it, it's a profit, right?

"I..."

Black Rabbit looked hesitantly at Su Nian, who was squatting in the corner feeling antisocial; she felt that dragging Su Nian into this just like that might not be very good, right?

Moon Rabbit is a race of devotion and sacrifice, but they only choose to devote and sacrifice themselves; they would never harbor the thought of sacrificing others.

She even felt a bit guilty just for dragging the innocent Su Nian into this.

Shiroyasha naturally saw through Black Rabbit's thoughts; she lightly kicked Su Nian and said.

"I'll add you to the photo album shoot."

Instantly, Su Nian became excited; he looked at Black Rabbit, his eyes full of impatience.

He couldn't wait to devote himself to Black Rabbit!

Sorry, sold? What sold?

That was clearly Boss's care for him!

This was clearly Boss's training for him!

Boss Shiroyasha, I revere you!

Boss, you are definitely the best boss in the world!
