Two months later.
Jiang Miaoyin commanded three Curse Spirits, chasing after a ghostly creature resembling a burning, agile horse, swiftly racing across the open space.
The ghost was incredibly fast, darting left and right, making it impossible for Jiang Miaoyin to attack it.
During the pursuit, they quickly arrived at a valley, where there were three different paths at the entrance.
Jiang Miaoyin lifted her hand and waved, sending out two more Curse Spirits, which spewed large flas to block the paths on either side, leaving only the middle one open.
The horse-shaped ghost didn’t hesitate and imdiately darted into the central passage, but shortly after entering, countless Soul Body hands erged from the ground, and in the next mont, nurous Fierce Ghosts pounced on it!
[Soul-Binding Technique of the Dead]!
Amidst the ghost’s heartrending screams, its Soul Body was thoroughly torn apart, becoming fodder for the ghosts.
[Acquired artifact, Cause and Effect Points *4534]
[Acquired artifact: Ghostly Fierce Horse (King Tier Treasure)]
As the notification sounded, Chu Xiu erged from the shadows. Without hesitation, he took out the newly acquired artifact and tossed it to Jiang Miaoyin.
Jiang Miaoyin caught it with one hand, chuckling: "Hey hey, our collaboration is getting more and more seamless, senior."
Chu Xiu did not refute but rather nodded: "Indeed, thanks to you, my hunting efficiency has greatly increased."
"If it were just alone, I might have spent another year without achieving such results."
"Huh?!" Jiang Miaoyin displayed a shocked yet doubtful expression, "Senior, why have you suddenly changed? I’m not used to you praising like this."
"You should be ignoring or even suppressing like before, so that I wouldn’t dare have the thought of asking for a higher price!"
Chu Xiu found it amusing: "Am I really that kind of person in your eyes?"
"Oh, I was just kidding, although you don’t usually praise people, senior."
Jiang Miaoyin leaped from the air, landing in front of Chu Xiu, the impact lifting her skirt and revealing her full, toned thighs.
Today she wore a blue and white knee-length dress, paired with little white socks and jk uniform shoes, giving her the appearance of a pure young girl.
However, even without a form-fitting dress, it couldn’t conceal her well-nourished figure, instead creating an indescribable contrast, especially with her cunning yet alluring eyes, adding a unique charm to her.
The vitality of a young girl combined with the body of a mature woman made even Chu Xiu have to admit, the woman before him was extrely tempting.
However, Chu Xiu’s eyes still showed little emotion, and he simply said: "I have sothing to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Our collaboration needs to end."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaoyin uttered an "ah" in slight disappointnt, though she wisely said: "That’s true, most of the ghosts here have been cleared out; continuing would indeed yield little benefit."
In recent days, the two of them could clearly feel that their gains were becoming smaller and smaller; the previous King Tier ghost was the only gain in the last three days.
"But senior, once this place is gone, we can still search elsewhere, right?"
Chu Xiu said: "That’s what I wanted to ask you to do. I have things to attend to, and won’t be returning to this world in the short term. I hope you can help gather information about opportunities and keep an eye on others’ movents."
Jiang Miaoyin found his candid words amusing: "Senior, you seem like a scumbag treating as a tool and sycophant."
Chu Xiu didn’t deny it, simply saying: "If you find opportunities that you’re capable of seizing, you don’t need to wait for , and I will compensate you for the intelligence later."
Jiang Miaoyin sighed: "Senior, I never said I would refuse. You only have to say so nice words, and I’ll agree; why always so distant?"
Chu Xiu didn’t respond. He could see this woman wanted to get closer to him, but Chu Xiu knew very well that friendship, love, bonds, these are all things for young people. At their level and status, it was only about exchanging benefits.
To cultivate a reliable trustworthy relationship wasn’t possible without long-term collaboration.
He also didn’t believe Jiang Miaoyin was as candid as she appeared. Chu Xiu had never assud she was an overly sheltered canary just because she was from a prominent family.
So he simply asked: "So, you agreed?"
Jiang Miaoyin pursed her lips: "Anyway, if I co across opportunities I can’t handle alone, I’d still have to collaborate with others, so why not with you, senior? But next ti, I want a seventy-thirty split!"
Chu Xiu nodded: "That’s fine."
After reaching the agreent, he didn’t delay and returned to Blue Star.
Two months of hard work had finally led to the ti for reaping the rewards.
