In the end, little loli Sakura Ning was brought along for the meal as well.
She followed behind Lin Xiaoqi, staring at the perky backside wrapped in Lin Xiaoqi's denim shorts with a resentful look on her face.
Lu Yibai had never expected that this little loli before him was actually such a high-ranking leader.
More precisely, she could also be considered his superior within the organization.
What the little loli had kept trying to say before Lin Xiaoqi interrupted her was, "I am the head of the Night Watchmen Modu office and the inspector for the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai region."
As it happened, a newly appointed person in charge like Lu Yibai fell under her inspection.
She held considerable authority.
If she shook her head, then great—he could obediently step down and wait for the organization to make new arrangements.
Such great power was held by a demon. The Night Watchmen organization was clearly very inclusive.
Lu Yibai had previously been quite curious about the little loli's age. Lin Xiaoqi secretly told Boss Lu that she did not know Sakura Ning's exact age either. In any case, she was definitely older than Lu Yibai.
A loli older than himself—somehow, that felt strange.
Logically speaking, with a leader coming to inspect them, especially one this important, they should have taken her to a high-end hotel for a meal. But Lu Yibai clearly had no such intention and simply found a small restaurant near a bar.
The place was clean, the food tasted good, and that was enough.
Boss Lu had always been a rather easygoing person. Besides, although his sense of belonging to the Night Watchmen organization had strengthened somewhat, it was... not all that strong.
He was a laid-back young man, after all. If he could be the person in charge, then he would be one. If not, then forget it. It did not matter.
Besides, Lin Xiaoqi was still there to keep things in check.
Although this little loli named Sakura Ning looked quite domineering, she only dared to talk big in front of Lin Xiaoqi.
The two were clearly old acquaintances, and Sakura Ning had likely been beaten up by Lin Xiaoqi's iron fists before.
Bratty children were born under the sign of the bear, and their fate lacked a good beating. Nothing wrong with that.
Although only four people were eating, Lu Yibai still booked a private room at the small restaurant.
Since he ate there often, the owner gave him one despite there being only four of them.
It had to be said, the group of four was quite pleasing to the eye: two beautiful women with hot figures, along with a delicate little loli.
The man was quite handsome too, but he looked far too listless, as though he had not woken up yet.
According to Crow City customs, the seat facing the door was the seat of honor. More accurately, that was the case in quite a few places.
The moment little loli Sakura Ning entered, she instinctively headed for that seat. With a slight hop, her little butt landed on the chair as she swung her short legs.
After sitting there for only a few seconds, Lin Xiaoqi picked her up like a baby chick and tossed her aside.
"Boss, sit down, sit down!" Lin Xiaoqi said enthusiastically to Lu Yibai.
Then, she sat down right beside Lu Yibai.
"Why can't I sit there?" Sakura Ning demanded angrily.
Her big, watery eyes widened, and her cheeks puffed out from anger.
Mm, terrifyingly fierce.
She looked exactly like a furious little hamster.
"Because the boss is paying! No manners!" Lin Xiaoqi said directly.
Sakura Ning disliked that even more.
The White Fox clan was one of the upper-tier races among demons. Their inheritance stretched back who knew how many years, and their accumulated wealth was terrifying.
"I can pay too!"
I, Sakura Ning, am super rich!
Lin Xiaoqi looked at the menu, rubbing her little hands together excitedly without even raising her head. "Then since you're so rich, go open a table outside by yourself. Order whatever dishes you want."
The little loli's resentment deepened further at those words.
If only she could beat her...
She lowered her head and looked at her little hands. They were slightly bigger than a cat's paws, chubby and soft.
In combat form, these would be her sharpest claws.
She dreamed of using her claws to tear Lin Xiaoqi open and let all her air out.
Her body was so puffed up—she had definitely been inflated!
"Hey, you!" Sakura Ning said to Lu Yibai.
Smack— Lin Xiaoqi flicked her forehead. "Watch how you speak. Children should be polite."
"Mm... it hurts... hurts..."
"Who the hell is a child? Damn it!" the little loli snapped.
Smack— Lin Xiaoqi flicked her forehead again. "Children aren't allowed to swear."
"Fuck!"
Smack—
"You dead woman!"
Smack—
Seeing Sakura Ning's originally fair forehead turn red from all the flicks, Lu Yibai could not bear it any longer and intervened. "Landlady, order the food!"
With that single sentence, Lin Xiaoqi's attention was immediately diverted.
She happily looked over the menu and no longer had time to bother with the little loli.
"Mm... it hurts... mm..." The little loli rubbed her own forehead, like a kitten licking its wounds.
Yet Sakura Ning was thinking, That bitch Lin Xiaoqi seems really susceptible to this newcomer's way of doing things.
Lu Yibai did not think too much of it. Although Lin Xiaoqi and Sakura Ning seemed to be at odds, Lin Xiaoqi was more like an older sister disciplining her younger sister at home—just a bit overly rough.
As for Ye Yiyi, she was like a quail at the moment. Because of the suppression in her bloodline, she was somewhat nervous. But seeing how arrogant and domineering Sister Xiaoqi was made her feel much safer.
Having someone powerful above you to protect you felt really nice.
The meal ended quickly, because Lin Xiaoqi had always been highly efficient when it came to eating.
After finishing, the little loli sat in her chair with one leg crossed over the other. "Lu Yibai, right? Show me your panel."
The so-called panel was actually just using the Night Watchman Mark to inspect how many demons one had killed, which was also equivalent to performance.
"Okay." Lu Yibai nodded.
Lin Xiaoqi said nothing about it. This was Sakura Ning's job and responsibility, so she would not interfere.
The little loli extended her left hand, and the Night Watchman Mark lit up faintly.
Two green points of light appeared in front of Lu Yibai.
Not bad, Sakura Ning thought.
After all, he was a newcomer who had only joined the organization a month ago. Some newcomers were timid, and when they first encountered demons after joining, they might be completely dumbfounded.
She had been in the Night Watchmen organization for so long that she had even seen newcomers get scared into wetting themselves.
Quite a few Night Watchmen who were now mature and steady had plenty of embarrassing history from when they first started out.
It seemed this newcomer had decent mental fortitude, but his strength was truly too weak.
By her estimate... he was probably around Second Rank.
So she said, "Second Rank is a little weak."
Lu Yibai was slightly stunned. Second Rank?
He was clearly only First Rank...
But when he thought about how she said even Second Rank was a little weak, Boss Lu felt a stab in the heart.
Still, Boss Lu was an honest man. He never pretended to be stronger than he was, so he said directly, "Uh, actually, I'm First Rank."
"How is that possible?!" the little loli cried out.
She could sense that the points of light within Lu Yibai's body had almost gathered into a glowing palm.
There were more than twice as many as those of a First Rank Night Watchman at the peak stage!
It was about the same as Second Rank.
"How long have you been cultivating?" Sakura Ning asked seriously.
"About a month," Lu Yibai said.
Sakura Ning: "..."
Only a month? It had only been a month!
A genius!
Absolutely a Monster Grade genius!
