Chapter 88: Chapter 62: Shi Long Survivor (Seeking
Recommendations)
“Captain, what’s going on?”
“I don’t know!”
Above deck, Little John and Anderson were whispering to each other, having discussed for a long time the matter of Bailuo bringing back a dirty little child.
“But we can’t guess what the boss is thinking.”
Little John said, “I’m sure he has his deep reasons.”
“Oh.”
Anderson was impressed though he did not understand; Bailuo’s actions were indeed enigmatic, but he was the Miracle King, an existence beyond the comprehension of mere mortals.
“How is the child doing?”
Inside the captain’s quarters, Bailuo inquired of Gonnia. The girl replied, “Nothing serious, just starving for a long time, lacking nutrition, especially poorly developed. Fortunately, she hasn’t fallen ill or been ‘bullied’ by anyone.”
The aesthetic of the people on the Miracle New Continent mainly focused on physique.
If a girl had a poor figure, she would hardly attract anyone.
So Gonnia was also curious about why Bailuo had bought her home.
“Where is she?”
“She was too dirty,” Gonnia said, “so Sister Yimoteer took her to bathe.”
“Mhm.”
Bailuo nodded, but at the next moment, he heard noises coming from the cabin.
“Master! Master! Master!!”
Bailuo hurried in, and Gonnia, very alertly, closed the door behind him and stood outside.
“What’s going on? Has something happened?”
As soon as Bailuo entered, he saw the entire bathroom steaming and damp.
Yimoteer looked distressed, while a small figure rushed into Bailuo’s arms—it was the slave girl.
“Uh…”
Bailuo noticed the situation at hand.
He quickly raised his head and then took off his coat, draping it over the girl.
“Master!!”
Seeing Bailuo, the girl was no longer scared. She clung tightly to Bailuo as if fearing he might suddenly disappear.
“Yimoteer Sister, leave her to me, and you go prepare lunch.”
“Okay.”
Yimoteer didn’t know the relationship between Bailuo and the girl, simply saying, “I left the clothes there, Little Fiora’s should fit her just fine.”
As Yimoteer left, it meant that only Bailuo and the girl were left inside the bathroom.
Perhaps it was Bailuo’s actions that increased the girl’s affection; she depended on him so much that she barely left his side.
“Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you. Now, can you let go of me first?”
Bailuo indicated that her constant gripping of his clothes was somewhat troubling.
“Okay.”
The girl obediently let go but still followed Bailuo closely.
“Speaking of which, I haven’t asked your name yet. What is it?”
“None.”
The girl shook her head and said, “I don’t have a name.”
[A name is just a label, but it also serves as a bridge connecting miracles with their masters. Poor girl, afraid of becoming a rootless duckweed, let the name you give become the chain of her heart]
A new mission appeared: to give the girl a name.
Without questioning, Bailuo gently said, “No name, that must be inconvenient. How about I give you one?”
Hearing Bailuo wanted to name her, the girl’s eyes widened, sparkling with anticipation, then she nodded eagerly.
“Then let’s call you…”
Bailuo thought for a moment, observing the girl’s appearance, noting her white hair and amber eyes—that kind of orange tinged with red but not quite red.
However, the girl’s facial features leaned towards those of Asians.
“You resemble a people I know, aside from your hair and eye color,” said Bailuo. Since he had a new family in this world, he had long settled down in Yatun, never thinking of leaving: “I plan to give you the surname of my own name, Bai, as your own.”
“For the given name…”
Bailuo said, “Yino.”
“From today onwards, your name is Bai Yino.”
The name was quite unique on the Miracle Continent, but it was said that there were a few small countries that placed the surname first, so it was not entirely unique.
Moreover, the girl was actually quite cute.
At least in the People of Yatun’s aesthetic, she was definitely one of the top beauties.
What’s more, Bai Yino was a classic beauty that was not found in Yatun.
Although she was still young, in the future, she might well compete with his senior sister.
“Bai, Yino?”
The girl murmured to herself, but with poor pronunciation. Bailuo quickly corrected her: “Not Yino, but Yino. Come on, follow me, Yi—no—”
“Yi—nu!”
However, the girl’s pronunciation was still off-mark. Bailuo, having no alternative, said, “I’ll give you a nickname too. Use it until you learn to pronounce your name correctly, and it will also be your name.”
“Xiao Bai.”
Bailuo thought the nickname would soon be forgotten, so he took it casually.
“Sounds nice!”
Yet, Xiao Bai liked the name very much, repeating it several times with great joy, even jumping and dancing around.
To Xiao Bai, one normally had only one name, but her master gave her two.
One name means love; two names mean double the love.
Xiao Bai: So happy, master is so good to Xiao Bai.
Bailuo felt frustrated; the name he took so seriously went unnoticed, while she adored the nickname, which was more like a pet’s designation.
And silently, Xiao Bai’s Miracle Power had awakened, changing the attributes listed on the sixth page.
