Lin Qiye is not the kind of person who would be attracted by beauty, absolutely not.
He decided to hire the Flame Pulse Earth Dragon simply because it had a human form, and as long as it had a human form, it could do many things.
Don't know how to wash dishes? No problem, Li Yifei will teach you!
Don't know how to sweep? No problem, Li Yifei will teach you!
Don't know how to make a bed? No problem, Li Yifei will teach you!
The Flame Vein Earth Dragon is quite intelligent, a fact that Lin Qiye had already deeply experienced during his battle with it. Teaching it to cook, wash dishes, and sweep the floor was not a difficult task.
Ultimately, Lin Qiye's previous hesitation stemmed solely from the other person's physique.
Now that the Flame Vein Earth Dragon had transformed into a human before his eyes, a red-haired mature woman with a great figure and temperament, he naturally wouldn't refuse this "Sea" Realm thug's admission to the mental hospital.
Upon hearing that she had been hired, the red-haired woman's dragon eyes revealed a mixture of joy at surviving a disaster and a hint of shame and anger.
In the end... she still swallowed her pride.
Lin Qiye made a grabbing motion in the air, and a contract appeared in his hand. He handed the contract to the red-haired woman, who didn't even glance at it before…
Swallowed it whole.
The kind without even chewing.
Lin Qiye:...
"Why did you eat it?" Lin Qiye asked helplessly. "I wanted you to sign it, sign it!"
A look of bewilderment crossed the red-haired woman's eyes; she simply couldn't understand what Lin Qiye was saying.
In the world of dragons, there is no such thing as a signature.
Lin Qiye grabbed another contract and handed it to her. Before she could shove it into her mouth, Lin Qiye covered her mouth, grabbed her hand, colored it with a pen, and then pressed it onto the contract.
He didn't expect the other party to be able to perform such a difficult action as "signing," but he didn't know if the primitive method of pressing a fingerprint would be useful.
As it turned out, the mental hospital was more functional than he had imagined; the moment his fingerprint was pressed onto the contract, it vanished into thin air.
The contract is now in effect.
At the same time, the iron cage in front of the red-haired woman disappeared without a trace, and a light blue nursing uniform appeared on her body, perfectly concealing her curvaceous figure.
On the nameplate on her chest were three small characters.
——004.
Lin Qiye sighed. Through the process of signing the contract, he could vaguely sense that completely taming this Flame Vein Earth Dragon, which had no common sense, was destined to be a long and difficult process.
"What's your name?" Lin Qiye asked, looking into her eyes.
The red-haired mature woman shook her head.
"I forgot you can't even speak..." Lin Qiye sighed, then thought for a moment, "Since you're a Flame Vein Earth Dragon, I'll call you... Erniu from now on."
Fiery Earth Dragon:...
The red-haired woman resolutely stretched out her hands and made an "X" in front of her, her cool face filled with defiance and seriousness!
"...Then let's call her Hongyan, okay?" Lin Qiye said reluctantly.
The red-haired woman thought for a moment and then nodded heavily.
These days, employees dare to contradict their bosses. This unhealthy trend must be controlled in the future.
Lin Qiye put his hands behind his back, shook his head, and strode out of the prison.One minute later.
Li Yifei and A Zhu stood in front of Lin Qiye, staring dumbfounded at the beauty before them, their jaws practically dropping to the ground.
"Qiye, you picked a really good caregiver!" Li Yifei chuckled and gave Lin Qiye a thumbs up.
Azhu opened her mouth wide, blinked her eyes, and exclaimed, "Big sister, you're so beautiful!"
Hongyan's lips curled up slightly, completely ignoring Li Yifei's gaze. She squatted down and affectionately patted Azhu's head.
"She's Hongyan, and she'll be our hospital's fourth caregiver. However, her situation is a bit special. Li Yifei, you'll need to take good care of her."
Lin Qiye stood in front of Hongyan and introduced her.
After saying that, he realized something was wrong, looked around, and asked, "Where's the Rubik's Cube?"
"It was captured by Merlin and is now being played with like a toy in the study. It can't get away." Li Yifei shrugged.
After saying that, he strode up to Hongyan, coughed twice, and smiled as he extended his right hand.
"Hello, my name is Li Yifei, and I'm the...head caregiver here."
Hongyan finally shifted her gaze from Azhu, carefully examined Li Yifei for a while, and looked at his outstretched right hand with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the red-haired, aloof, and sophisticated woman in her caregiver uniform slowly knelt down...
Owwooo—!
She shoved Li Yifei's hand into his mouth.
Lin Qiye: Σ(￣ロ￣llll)!
Azhu: (*•. •*)?
Li Yifei: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)! ! ! ! Holy crap!!
Li Yifei abruptly pulled his hand out of Hongyan's mouth; his bright red palm was covered with dense teeth marks...
Li Yifei turned to Lin Qiye, bewildered. The latter nodded. "As I said, her situation is rather special..."
Just then, a pug came running up to Hongyan's feet, looked at her with some confusion, and rubbed its head against her leg.
"Quack! Quack quack quack!!"
Confusion resurfaced in Hongyan's eyes. She slowly squatted down, picked up the pug, and then...
Owwooo—!
The pug's limbs were flailing wildly in mid-air.
"Holy crap! My dear sister! You can't eat this, you really can't eat this!!" Li Yifei ran forward in horror, rescued the terrified pug from Hongyan's mouth, and put it on the ground.
As it turned out, the pug was genuinely terrified by the bite.
It lay sprawled on the ground for a moment, then suddenly sprang up and sprinted forward, making human-like sounds as it spoke:
"Ya—Mei—Die!!"
Bang—!
It crashed headfirst into the wall in front of it, its limbs twitched, and it promptly passed out.
Lin Qiye glanced at the woman being lectured by Li Yifei, then at the unconscious pug lying on the ground, and his expression immediately turned strange.
He always felt that, despite his meticulous treatment and management, the number of mental patients in this mental hospital was... increasing.
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion!
He left the chaotic mental hospital and went straight up the stairs to the reading room on the second floor.
As soon as Lin Qiye stepped into the reading room, he froze at the doorway.
Merlin was lounging leisurely in a chair, holding a Rubik's Cube in his hand, casually fiddling with it, his interest growing stronger with each turn.
Meanwhile, the Rubik's Cube looked utterly dejected as Merlin played with it. It seemed unable to understand how it, the dignified "Rubik's Cube" automatic washing machine that also washes dishes and shuffles cards, and Li Yifei's capable assistant, had fallen to such a state.
Seeing Lin Qiye enter the study, Merlin put down the Rubik's Cube in his hand and smiled as he spoke:
"Good evening, Dean."
