Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

I'm planning to ask the employee where she got the package from.

The answer she received was that it was delivered by a courier attached to the ship, and even she didn't know if that mysterious courier was actually around.

If possible, she could accompany Xilan to the nearby post stations to return the gifts she was carrying.

Xi Lan hesitated for a moment, but still asked Ms. Emerald if she wanted to go out, and also relayed what the employee had said.

Within a minute, the other party agreed and transferred the money, allowing Xilan to wander around outside.

Of course, to make matters worse, Emerald didn't forget to remind Xilan to add what she wrote to the notes, and to remember to...

Another lucky female employee also got a half-day off—or rather, overtime.

However, there is double overtime pay.

Upon receiving the message, the female employee closed her eyes, made an Amen gesture, and inwardly marveled at the angelic Jade Lady and Xi Lan.

Suddenly, I had the motivation to keep working at the company.

She stood up briskly, looking refreshed, and left her workstation amidst the envious gazes of her colleagues.

Meanwhile, Xi Lan, who was waiting for the female staff member at the hatch, stood obediently in place with a polite smile on her face, and once again accepted the food offered by the kind person.

Compared to her previous resistance, Xi Lan has now learned to accept other people's kindness instead of constantly avoiding it.

As for these snacks, she would take the time to eat them herself, rather than wasting other people's kindness.

I've come to accept the milky smell on me.

Moreover, it seems that Ms. Emerald really likes the taste of milk.

When Xi Lan was applying the essential oil to nourish her tail earlier, she naturally heard a compliment from Emerald while her head was light and airy.

"...That's really good..."

Although my mind was so foggy at that time that I couldn't hear what Lady Emerald was saying.

But shouldn't it be a compliment on the scent of the essential oil?

However, Xi Lan, who did not ask about it, ultimately assumed that the person liked the smell of essential oils.

If Ms. Jade likes it...

Xi Lan also decided to try to like it.

As her mind began to wander, the female employee hurried over to Xi Lan's side.

Good morning, Sister Slo.

After politely greeting the other person, Xi Lan followed the female employee with her short legs.

When Xilan stepped off the ship, the magnificent scene outside still left her somewhat in awe.

Seeing it through glass is definitely not as good as experiencing it in person.

Even so, Xi Lan managed to suppress her curiosity.

Then she took the employee's hand, instinctively hiding behind the man, cautiously observing this planet that was too unknown to her.

The technology here seems to be fully utilized; there are things she has never seen before everywhere.

This truly shocked the little fox.

She rarely felt like a country girl visiting the city, and she could almost say she was experiencing the shock that Yelena had felt when she first saw them.

She was also somewhat relieved that the female employee was with her; otherwise, the little fox would probably have been confused for a long time by herself.

Feeling the employee's hand being gripped slightly tighter, and seeing that she was a little nervous but still stayed by Xi Lan's side, Xi Lan silently thanked Ms. Emerald once again in her heart.

If it weren't for the opportunity given to her, she probably wouldn't have seen such an adorable little fox.

There are even double bonuses.

Ah, Jade Lady, you are my goddess.

The female employee, whose face remained expressionless, took a deep breath and then safely led Xi Lan to deliver the gift box she was carrying back to the interstellar express station.

After watching the little guy change the notes and pay the shipping fee, Xi Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had completed a very difficult task.

This appearance amused the female employee.

She glanced at the time and realized that it was still a long time before the scheduled time to go back to work.

So the female employee invited Xilan, who was still looking around, to take a stroll around the area.

After all, they still have the mindset of children, and the temptation of the unknown still prevails.

However, being a well-behaved little fox, she informed Lady Emerald before going out to play and waited anxiously for her reply.

Jade, who had originally planned to send the money to the little guy for a trip, readily agreed and told Xilan to be careful.

Don't let strange guys lead you astray.

Upon seeing the message from the terminal, Xi Lan was so happy that even the fluffy ears on her head twitched.

"Let's go out and have some fun... cough cough, let's stroll around for a while."

Xi Lan, who managed to maintain her image as a well-behaved and sensible person, was unaware that her tail had already revealed her current feelings.

That unruly tail was wagging so much it almost turned into a propeller.

The female employee suppressed a laugh, and was glad that she had controlled her expression; otherwise, she probably would have gotten a little fox with its fur standing on end.

As the two figures, one large and one small, left the protected area of ​​the Emerald Ship and arrived on the land of the planet Pierpoint, the various high-rise buildings and incomprehensible design styles made Xi Lan subconsciously take a few more glances.

This style is incomprehensible, yet incredibly striking.

Adults have such strange tastes.

After silently complaining to myself, I glanced around at the people coming and going, all seemingly busy with their work.

He looks very tired.

Will she grow up to be that kind of adult?

Looking at those adults who are full of the exhaustion of being corporate slaves, I was surprised to find myself thinking about how the adult world is full of infighting and cunning little foxes.

But her attention was quickly drawn away by something else the employee was using.

It seems the female employee didn't want the naive little fox to know too much.

Xi Lan silently tightened her grip on the other person's hand, continuing to observe her surroundings with curious eyes.

Perhaps it was a fox-like intuition, but Xi Lan seemed to vaguely sense a fervent gaze upon the hands she and the female employee were holding.

But when she turned her head to find that gaze, it seemed to have vanished completely.

It was as if it were her imagination.

Her light purple eyes looked around at everything with a questioning gaze.

But we still didn't see anything.

Her tail wagged irritably; the feeling of being spied on wasn't very comfortable for Xi Lan.

"Sister Slo, let's go back."

She gently tugged at the man's hand, lowered her eyes, and looked as if she had already grown tired of shopping: "I'm a little tired."

She wanted to get away from that gaze.

If I go back, will everything be alright?

With that thought in mind, she shook the employee's arm playfully, blinking her innocent eyes.

Surprisingly, this method proved to be exceptionally effective.

It's about wanting the other person to give you a reminder when you're being picked up.

Sitting in the lap of the female employee, Xi Lan leaned on the man's shoulder, resting her chin on it, looking left and right.

It seemed as if it was trying to find the gaze that was looking at it.

Unfortunately, as an inexperienced little fox, how could she possibly catch a Star Core Hunter with maxed-out stealth?

Xing, who had sneaked here by various means, was wearing the department uniform of one of the lucky ones. He hid in the shadows in the alley, gritting his teeth as he watched the figure carrying the little fox walk away.

At that moment, the resentment emanating from her seemed capable of devouring the employees of several departments.

I was here first!!!

Chapter 42 I want to see rivers of blood!

Xing's face contorted as if she had eaten several lemons, her expression bitter and contorted. She took a deep breath and fiddled with the listening device in her ear.

"Now you see? Do you want me to keep following you?"

From the bottom of her heart, Xing really wanted to stay by Xi Lan's side and observe how this guy, who seemed to be full of bad intentions, was doing.

But the jealousy in Xing's heart made her want to get the company employee who was holding Xi Lan aside.

Just looking at it makes my heart ache.

They were the ones who raised the child...

After readjusting her breathing, Xing pinched her brow and glanced at the package she had just retrieved.

Just by looking at the words "Return, my little fox doesn't like it," she could imagine the smile on the face of that ill-intentioned woman as she wrote them.

This guy definitely knows that this gift was given to Xilan by them!

It could be considered a covert... no, an open and aboveboard provocation!

Unbeknownst to them, the impression of the Star Core Hunters had already formed in Emerald's mind: a group of unreliable bounty hunters who casually raised and then abandoned their children, and the whole person was like an angry little raccoon.

After a long silence, Kafka finally spoke slowly.

"Come back, Xing, come back with that gift."
