CHAPTER 548: CHAPTER 548 PROMISE

Hearing her say that, Xiao Zhan’s eyes immediately brightened.

This was indeed a method.

And if used well, it might last even longer than ten or eighteen years.

But...

Xiao Zhan frowned again, "Su Mulan has already used up her Talent Skill uses, this method can’t be implemented."

"Do you think she would have used them all up?"

Liu Xin smiled mysteriously.

Xiao Zhan was startled then immediately understood what Liu Xin meant.

"Don’t say it was me who told you."

Seeing that he understood, Liu Xin smiled again and then got up, ready to leave.

"Tell me, why are you so nice to me? It feels like it’s beyond the realm of normal friendship."

Xiao Zhan suddenly called out to Liu Xin.

Although the transaction between Xiao Zhan and Liu Xin was for Liu Xin to solve this problem, Liu Xin’s contributions in details had clearly gone beyond the scope of the transaction.

Liu Xin didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to suddenly say this, she pushed her gold-rimmed half-frame glasses up her nose, revealing seductive eyes, "It’s not a feeling, it has already gone beyond."

Xiao Zhan caught the meaning behind her words, his gentle smile laced with cold decisiveness, "Forgive my confidence, but if you still have the idea of contracting with me, you’ll become a bootlicker."

"I’m not a bootlicker, this is deep affection."

"Then you have given your affection to the wrong person."

"It doesn’t matter, my heart will give me the answer."

After saying that, Liu Xin walked out of the room.

Xiao Zhan watched her leave and sighed helplessly. Since ancient times, deep affection should not be let down, but he already had Ye Youlong, and there was no room left in his heart.

Faced with Liu Xin, the only thing he could do was to clarify things sooner.

As for what Liu Xin would do next, that was beyond Xiao Zhan’s control.

After Liu Xin left, it wasn’t long before Su Mulan came to him again.

Bringing Jiang Xian’er with her.

Jiang Xian’er had nearly lost her life after taking a palm strike from Long Hai. Luckily, the Healer brought by Su Mulan was powerful enough to save her in time, and fortunately, her life was spared.

Her injuries had mostly healed in two days.

"Thank you."

Facing Jiang Xian’er’s intervention, Xiao Zhan sincerely thanked from the bottom of his heart.

He hadn’t expected that in just a few days, Jiang Xian’er would have saved him twice.

The first time wasn’t so dangerous. If Xiao Zhan merely held gratitude, then this time, he truly thanked her from the depths of his soul.

If not for her risking her life, Xiao Zhan might have already been dead, or worse than dead.

"Exchange it for the Holy Snow Lotus."

Jiang Xian’er said indifferently.

Somehow, her way of speaking had become a bit like Ye Youlong’s.

Direct, blunt, and purposeful.

She didn’t even use the word ’help’ when she said this.

"Okay."

Xiao Zhan agreed very decisively this time.

Jiang Xian’er’s great favor must be repaid by Xiao Zhan, no matter what her demand, he would agree.

"Hmm."

Jiang Xian’er responded indifferently, then found a spot to sit down and quietly drank tea.

Xiao Zhan turned his gaze to Su Mulan, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"I can’t help."

Xiao Zhan hadn’t said anything yet, but Su Mulan had already directly refused.

"Liu Xin has already told me, I truly sympathize with what you’ve been through, but I really can’t help." Seeing Xiao Zhan’s embarrassment, Su Mulan continued.

"Can you give me a reason?" Xiao Zhan didn’t want to give up.

Su Mulan said, "To be honest with you, I have one more usage left, but I have just made a breakthrough to Fifth Grade, and it will take at least three more years to break through to Sixth Grade. The situation with both of you requires that the skill to lift constraints be used simultaneously, it’s no use for just one person. And in three years..."

At this point, Su Mulan stopped.

Of course, Xiao Zhan knew what came next, let alone three years, Xiao Zhan might not even survive another two years.

"I have plenty of cultivation resources here, Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, including the Secret Realm Origin... even if you need Seventh Grade, I can figure out a way to get it for you."

However, Su Mulan shook her head, "The three years I mentioned, that’s considering using your resources."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s eyes dropped, uncertain of what to say next.

Is there really no other way?

"Liu Xin didn’t tell me, but your Talent Skill is quite emperor-like," Su Mulan suddenly said.

At these words, Xiao Zhan’s eyelids lifted slightly, a bit surprised.

This guy Liu Xin, he even told her about that.

"Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you," Su Mulan added.

"That’s good, because I’m not interested in you either," Xiao Zhan said in an indifferent manner.

But Su Mulan’s lips curled into a smile, with a hint of flirtation in her eyes as she glanced at Jiang Xian’er next to her, "Don’t you have a better choice? Why the somber face?"

"A better choice?"

Xiao Zhan didn’t understand.

"Still pretending."

"What are you trying to say, exactly?"

Seeing his expression, which didn’t seem fake, Su Mulan explained, "Didn’t Liu Xin tell you? Jiang Xian’er’s Talent attribute can solve your problem, all you have to do is enter into a Contract with her, and you’ll be free of troubles."

"You lucky guy, getting two wives when others can have only one. Tsk tsk tsk, if only I were a man, that’d be great."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan was shocked and abruptly stood up from his chair!

"What did you say? She can solve the Death Erosion issue? Liu Xin told you this?"

"Do you need to be so excited? Another wife, look how happy you seem. But I guess I’d be happy too if I could marry two wives, hehe."

Xiao Zhan was sure he hadn’t misheard.

But he still didn’t believe it.

Otherwise, why wouldn’t Liu Xin have told him himself?

He approached Jiang Xian’er, "Is what she said true?"

"I don’t know."

Jiang Xian’er shook her head.

She had only just learned of this herself.

Just before Xiao Zhan sought them out, Liu Xin had found them first and told them this.

Then Jiang Xian’er said, "But Liu Xin did say, to resolve your Death Erosion issue, I must advance to SSS Grade."

"You don’t need to emphasize that, I’ve promised to help you secure the Holy Snow Lotus."

Xiao Zhan then immediately summoned Liu Xin to come over.

Soon, Liu Xin arrived.

"Is what they’re saying true?" Xiao Zhan went straight to the point.

"Mhm."

Liu Xin nodded.

"You’re not tricking me?" Xiao Zhan doubted.

"Why would I trick you?" Liu Xin retorted.

"Then why didn’t you tell me yourself?"

"Isn’t this me telling you now?"

Liu Xin spread her hands.

She actually had no other motive, she just wanted these words to come from either Su Mulan or Jiang Xian’er, to avoid any abruptness, so that Xiao Zhan would have more reason to help Jiang Xian’er secure the Holy Snow Lotus.

She just didn’t expect that Xiao Zhan would agree to help Jiang Xian’er, and agree so readily.
