Chapter 2 What is the Next Guest?

“Who is the next guest?”

This time, only the little fox returned. The crowd didn’t see Zhen Hu.

“My, my big brother… Ah, what about that hunter?” Zhen Po glanced outside the door again, and when he realized that no one was really coming back, he felt a little flustered.

“That gentleman’s wish has already come true. He went down the mountain~”

The little fox’s soft voice startled everyone present except Mingmei.

“Ah? His wish came true so quickly?”

Da Yao and Julian were both anxious now.

“It was just a basket of wild game…”

Although they didn’t know what price Zhen Hu had paid, Julian’s words exposed his own problem.

The reason why Julian’s wish hadn’t come true immediately might be due to the offering.

Upon hearing this, Da Yao’s eyes flickered as she looked in Julian’s direction.

Like Julian, she was actually lacking an offering.

Therefore, the Fox Immortal told her to consider it.

However, she really didn’t expect that Zhen Hu, who had only brought a basket of wild game, had succeeded and already left with his wish fulfilled.

“Who wants to go next?”

Of those present, only Mu Chen and Zhen Po remained. Mu Chen sat there without saying anything, so Zhen Po had no choice but to raise his hand and volunteer himself.

Mingmei originally wanted to continue observing Zhen Po’s situation, but what was happening in the room seemed to be more interesting.

“What wish did you make?” This time, Da Yao took the initiative to ask Julian, “Don’t let us two be the last ones left in the end.”

In response, Julian simply turned to look at her and asked, “What about you?”

“Guess~ At least one of us will be sooner than the other, right?”

“What kind of charade are they playing?”

Mingmei looked at the four people left in the room, including herself. It seemed that Julian and Da Yao, who were acting as a fake couple in the game, were still holding each other back.

Listening to their explosive conversation, Mingmei’s imagination ran wild.

Could it be that Da Yao wished for Julian’s wish to fail?

“Neither of them has offerings.”

Mu Chen saw everything clearly and said to Mingmei in a low voice, “Judging by the way they are acting, their offerings and wishes in front of the Fox Immortal probably have significant problems.”

This time, Mu Chen learned from his previous experience and didn’t breathe hot air on Mingmei’s neck.

However, this action only reminded Mingmei even more—Mu Chen, you could control yourself this time, which means you did it on purpose before?

[That’s right! That’s exactly it! Host, you must stay clear-headed and see through men’s tricks when you’re in love!]

Carelessly revealing her thoughts to Guigui, Guigui seized the opportunity to warn Mingmei to be wary of Mu Chen.

Mingmei: […]

She wasn’t some naive little girl anymore. At least, she was a mother who had been single for over sixty years… ahem, a single noble.

…

“Ah, my wish is very simple~” Da Yao crossed her arms and didn’t intend to reveal her wish directly. Instead, she pretended to be troubled and said, “It’s just that I don’t have an offering.”

After saying that, Da Yao looked up at Julian, a slight smile on her lips, and asked, “What about you? I remember you said earlier that you had prepared an offering~ Why? It seems your wish hasn’t been fulfilled either?”

Mingmei also remembered that Zhen Hu had asked Julian about the offering before, and it was mentioned again after entering the temple. At that time, Julian’s reply was that he had already prepared it.

And at that time, Lu Xiaoyao had said that he was just making empty promises and bragging.

But now, Da Yao’s question made Mingmei feel that something was wrong.

Had Da Yao noticed something that Lu Xiaoyao hadn’t?

“Some wishes are more troublesome, so the methods to achieve them are naturally slower,” Julian smiled at Da Yao, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

In response, Da Yao returned a cold smile.

Mingmei saw clearly that both of them had smiles on their faces, but their eyes showed a strong desire to kill each other.

Watching this, Mingmei couldn’t help but sigh.

These two were truly a karmic entanglement!

“At least one of them will die this round.”

Mu Chen watched the confrontation between the two and said to Mingmei, “If I’m not mistaken, their… offering should be each other.”

Mingmei: !!!?

It could be like this?

She looked back in horror at Mu Chen, who was close to her and smiling brightly, and was a little dumbfounded.

Although she didn’t say anything, Mingmei’s eyes revealed: “Really? Don’t lie to me.”

“Really.”

Mu Chen opened his mouth and said silently.

Just then, the moment Mu Chen finished speaking, Da Yao and Julian, who were still testing each other, suddenly started fighting.

The sound of close combat and flesh hitting flesh made Mingmei subconsciously stand up and move away, retreating to the corner with Mu Chen.

“Oh my god, these two are fighting…”

Mingmei watched the two fighting. Julian’s combat skills were obviously systematically trained. The strength and angle of each punch and kick were very precise. If he hit someone with one kick, that person would lose half their life.

As for Da Yao, her combat skills were obviously mixed and not formally trained. She had a desperate attitude, with tricky punching angles and fierce strength. She wasn’t afraid of being hurt by the other party, she just wanted to kill him.

There was a saying that the fearless are afraid of those who don’t value their lives.

Da Yao was obviously the latter.

In the end, Da Yao directly ignored the fact that her ribs were broken by the other party and stabbed the hairpin directly into the other party’s throat.

“I won~”

The corners of Da Yao’s lips curved up. The next second, she caught Julian’s corpse, but at the same time, she knelt on the spot in pain, with blood streaming from her mouth and nose.

Seeing this, Mingmei tentatively stepped forward to ask something, but Da Yao raised her hand to stop Mingmei from approaching. She lowered her head, stared at the corpse, and suddenly opened her mouth.

“Damn man! Saying he would spend all his wealth to redeem me from the brothel and talking about true love… I’ll go to your mother!”

Facing Julian, who was already offline but had left his corpse in the game, Da Yao directly “whipped the corpse,” hugging the other party’s body and slapping the corpse a few times.

The sound of slapping made Mingmei cover her face.

It was too crisp.

Mingmei saw that she was almost done venting her anger, and then asked the reason.

“He heard that the Fox Immortal here likes to eat the hearts of beautiful women. So, as soon as his business went downhill, he couldn’t wait to redeem me and come here to make a wish. It was to offer my heart to the Fox Immortal to bless his business to flourish again and become the richest man.”

Da Yao laughed heartily, turned her head, looked at Mingmei, and glanced at the man behind her.

Then, she turned her head, looked up at the sky with melancholy, and said, “Unfortunately, the Fox Immortal didn’t like his behavior, so she told me about his wish and offering.”

“You made a wish?”

“Yeah.” Da Yao nodded, took a piece of paper from Julian’s corpse, and showed it to Mingmei with a smile, saying, “Look, this is my contract of sale. I made a wish, I wished to be forever beautiful and be the most beautiful courtesan~ The offering… is this black-hearted man’s heart.”

“Your wish is not a good wish, and the offering is even worse.”

Mingmei frowned, feeling that Da Yao’s wish wasn’t a good one.

“I know~” Da Yao smiled, tidied up her disheveled hair from the fight, and said, “But my character is not a good person. She is pampered and can’t live without men’s attention. As soon as her beauty passed its peak, she became unpopular, and now she has entrusted herself to the wrong person.

“If I had a chance to do it all over again, I would think it’s not bad to be a courtesan, with everlasting beauty~ This wish is the best one I can choose.”

She smiled and glanced at the corpse next to her with disgust, saying, “I think the Fox Immortal is at a loss for fulfilling such a wish with such an offering~”

And Mingmei looked at the other party’s relaxed smile, lowered her eyes and said nothing—wishing is equivalent exchange.

The Fox Immortal never loses.
