When Ni Ming left her alone, she immediately summoned herself to the grey, dimensional, startling Xiao Taotao who seemed to have been playing a game with Xiao Lili. When the little fairy saw her, she dropped her playing cards in shock.

"Host... It's a surprise to see you?" She looked to the cold Xiao Lili apologetically and mumbled that they'll have to finish their game later. The other little fairy disappeared, taking the game and table they sat at with him. "What can I help you with?"

"So now you help me?" Xiao Yunhua angrily looked at Xiao Taotao as she crossed her arms. "Are you sure you want to respond? For an assistant, you surely aren't assisting me much!"

When Xiao Taotao realized that Xiao Yunhua was genuinely angry with her, she frowned and quickly apologized to try to salvage the situation. "I couldn't receive your distress call as I was busy with something else." Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Playing card games?" Xiao Yunhua raised an eyebrow and the little fairy blushed.

She fervently shook her head. "I just barely found time for that. I had to help the higher-ups. I've been just as exhausted as you," Her big, silver doe-eyes widened and tears filled them. "Sorry for being so useless..."

Seeing her beginning to cry, Xiao Yunhua panicked and decided to forgive the little fairy. She waved her hand, dismissing the issue. "It's alright, just don't cry, please. I've had enough tears for a while." Xiao Taotao sniffled and her tiny self flew to Xiao Yunhua, wrapping her miniature arms around Xiao Yunhua's neck.

She muttered incoherent words that escaped Xiao Yunhua's ears and pulled away. "Other than scolding me for being away at your hour of need, can I help you with anything else?"

Xiao Yunhua suddenly remembered the main reason that she had appeared in the grey, dimensional space. "Yes! I need you to tell me who my Special Target! I think I actually have it figured out: would he be Zhou Ming?"

Xiao Taotao sighed, "I'm not allowed to tell you when it comes to Special Targets... They're called 'special' for a reason." Xiao Yunhua pouted but didn't argue. Seeing her host grow more disappointed in her, Xiao Taotao mindlessly added, "I won't tell you." She said this sentence as she nodded briefly and then her head stopped bobbing up and down.

The move was very sudden and if Xiao Yunhua hadn't been looking at Xiao Taotao, she would've never noticed it. Understanding her message, Xiao Yunhua pretended to be even more disappointed and bid Xiao Taotao adieu. When she left the grey, dimensional space, a frightened Xiao Taotao felt shivers up her spine for disobeying the rules.

When she noticed that there was no indication that the higher-ups noticed her little, 'accidental' error, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She had already managed to not help her host once and had gotten her in trouble, so she couldn't deny this important question from her host. Xiao Taotao waited for five more minutes and noticed that there wasn't anything different happening, so she called for Xiao Lili to continue their game.

She had assumed nobody noticed her little rule-breaking, but she was for a surprise much later...
