"What's going on with these people?"

Although he had already seen it, Shinji still asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Tamamo Hotaru immediately began to explain.

"Anyway, we'll be passing through the village ahead, so we can just leave them there."

Watching Tamamo Hotaru's beautiful big eyes blinking incessantly in front of him, Shinji calmly asked a question, "Since when did it become your place to call the shots here?"

"Even someone himself seems to have been taken in reluctantly."

Several sharp swords in the void struck Tamamo Hotaru instantly, nearly depleting her health bar.

She said awkwardly, "We're just wandering ninjas, so at worst we'll just consider it a quest. It's such a simple task, we can finish it easily."

So how much commission are you prepared to pay?

"what?"

"What do you mean, 'huh'? Didn't you ask me to escort these people to safety? What, you want to get rid of your girlfriend?"

puff!

Tamamo Hotaru was so annoyed by her retort that she almost vomited blood, but since it was true, she couldn't refute it. In the end, she could only angrily say, "Just give me an IOU, okay? You stingy person!"

"What did you say?"

"I said I would definitely pay it back, I'll just owe it to you for now."

Shinji stared at her intently until she lowered her head in embarrassment, then he slowly took out a pen and paper.

"Write it down, an IOU."

"Are you really writing it?"

"It's fine if you don't write it; you can still be sold to the Hidden Cloud Village for a few dollars."

"Write! I'll write right now!"

Tamamo Hotaru was furious and could only lie on the ground writing an IOU in frustration.

The other women who had been rescued looked at each other, bewildered and unsure of what to do.

Why does it feel different from what they imagined?

Their savior had no status whatsoever; in fact, he was treated like a lackey...

Even Ziyuan hesitated, unsure whether she should ask these people for help.

After all, she was penniless and had nothing to offer that would interest the other party.

But...did she have any other choice?

Ziyuan sighed helplessly, then stepped out on her own.

"Excuse me, are you really wandering ninjas? I have a request, and I wonder if you could take it on?"

"What commission?"

Shinji asked casually, not taking the other person seriously at all, even though the woman in front of him was already quite beautiful.

But even the most beautiful courtesan in the Red Chamber couldn't get anything good out of him, so he was even less likely to fawn over other women.

Ziyuan looked around awkwardly, indicating that there were too many people around and it wasn't a good place to talk.

Shinji understood. Although he didn't think the other party could offer any commission that would interest him, he still concentrated his curse power in his throat to maintain secrecy for the sake of the potential employer.

“Mute it!”

The women instantly lost the ability to hear anything.

"Alright, you can talk now. You only have one minute, don't waste my time."

Ziyuan had no choice, but the situation was beyond her control, so she gritted her teeth and spoke up.

"I hope that after you have delivered the others to safety, you can escort me to the Bird Kingdom alone. There, you will be rewarded handsomely."

"Don't go."

Shinji refused without even thinking.

Why take on a boring task that pays little and isn't even on the way?

Just because she's pretty?

cut!

"why?"

Ziyuan couldn't help but ask a question.

"Low pay, lots of work, and a lot of hassle. How about that? Are those reasons enough?"

"..."

Shion was speechless after being rebuked, and immediately understood how Tamamo Hotaru had felt.

"Aren't you wandering ninjas? Why are you complaining about this and that?"

"So what if they're wandering ninjas? Did they eat your rice? You have the right to make requests, and of course we have the right to refuse. Do you expect us to eagerly accept a mission that leads to our deaths? You're dreaming!"

"No, I... I didn't ask you to go and die. I just asked you to escort me somewhere. That should be simple, right?"

"Easy? Hah, do you have the money?"

"...I don't have any, but someone will give them to me later, really!"

"Do you know what happened to the last person who said that and then couldn't pay?"

Looking at the other person's sinister expression, Ziyuan couldn't help but secretly swallow. "Wh...how is it?"

"Look, he's lying there writing an IOU."

Shion stared wide-eyed at Tamamo Hotaru, who looked embarrassed, and suddenly fell silent.

"That was an accident..."

Tamamo Hotaru retorted weakly.

"Alright, you two can discuss your conditions when you have time. Do you really think I'm running a charity?"

Shinji made another sarcastic remark, then ignored the other person.

Shion was quite helpless. After thinking about it, she finally decided to focus her efforts on Tamamo Hotaru.

After all, it's really not easy to survive after doing something like that.

LOL!

"I want to save the world, can you help me?"

"what?!"

Looking at Shion's serious expression, Tamamo Hotaru suddenly touched the other's forehead. Could it be that his head was damaged when he was hit before?

[Chapter 464 Ancestral Hall]

"What did you say?"

"I will save the world!"

Tamamo Hotaru said this with a serious expression.

Shinji looked up at the sky. The sun and moon hadn't risen at the same time. How could one of them suddenly go crazy?

"Give!"

"what?"

"I've already written the IOU."

Shinji didn't even look at it before casually putting it away.

Then Tamamo Hotaru revealed a smug smile, "Since you've accepted the 'reward,' it means you've accepted the commission, right?"

"Ah, it's just about taking these women to the village ahead. Okay, I understand."

Shinji waved his hand impatiently, signaling Tamamo Hotaru to move aside.

But Tamamo Hotaru's smile grew even more smug. "Who said the IOU I gave you just now only mentioned the fee for a commission?"

ha?

Shinji was taken aback and immediately took out the IOU he had just put away to examine it carefully.

His face immediately darkened.

Damn it, we've fallen for their trap!

It turns out that the IOU listed the remuneration for two entrusted tasks.

The first is what I just mentioned, and the second is to escort Shion to the Land of Birds.

Shinji didn't take it seriously and put it away without even looking at it, but now it has become a tool for Tamamo Hotaru to use to attack him.

It's unbearable to repair!

Shinji immediately prepared to tear up the IOU and pretend nothing had happened.

As a man who stands tall and upright, isn't it normal for him to act like a scoundrel or something?

However, Tamamo Hotaru had anticipated this move and quickly said before he could act, "Anyway, you've already accepted the mission rewards, which means you've accepted these two missions. Also, you must keep this IOU safe, otherwise if you lose it or damage it, it's not my problem."

Shinji looked at Tamamo Hotaru, then suddenly smiled with narrowed eyes. "Interesting. I'm very curious what kind of spell this woman cast on you to make you dare to do this?"

Tamamo Hotaru shivered involuntarily, but still gritted her teeth and said, "I already said it was to save the world."

"Saving the world, huh? Fine, then I'll give you that chance."

"On the day I arrive in the Land of Birds, I will see this IOU cashed. For each day I stay, I will pay an additional fifty percent of the payment. And I will only wait three days at most. If the payment is not settled after three days, I will sell you to the Hidden Cloud Village, and this woman will pay the price for her seduction."

Shinji put the IOU away and turned to leave.

Tamamo Hotaru felt a chill run down her spine. She knew how stupid her actions had been, but she couldn't think of any other way.

"Hey, you're not lying to me, are you? If you're lying, we're both definitely dead!"
