I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"I'll pay you the normal secretary's salary," Luo Feng said with amusement. "What, aren't you curious why your souls aren't valued equally?"

Yang is younger than me.

“No, no, no, to me, the quality of your souls is about the same. Hers is slightly better than yours, but the difference is definitely not that big. Besides, you two aren’t that much older. I want things from after death, not things from before death.” Luo Feng said softly, “The important thing is that you are mother and daughter. If we package your souls together, the price will naturally be higher.”

"..."

Yukinoshita Saori took a deep breath; she roughly understood what Luo Feng meant.

If you bring in a family member, the price may increase significantly.

"But is this all you really want?" Luo Feng asked curiously. "You know, you didn't only have this much money before. Even if we gave you this much, you would still have to be mindful of other people's feelings."

"What else can I do?" Yukinoshita Saori gave a bitter smile.

After Yang Nai told her this in the morning, she was already mentally prepared and could accept the Yukinoshita family's demotion.

Regret not making the trade earlier? It's too late now. Who knew you'd be so unlucky? This isn't Yang Nai's fault either.

"I see." Luo Feng nodded thoughtfully.

Suddenly, he thought of an interesting way to play.

Yukinoshita Saori has only just begun to accept her own failure and is also facing the failure of her family. Wouldn't it be boring to just make a deal like this?

Wouldn't it be more interesting if a mother and daughter turned against each other and the family broke apart?

Hmm, should we give her hope first, and then kick her into the abyss, making her think that none of this would have happened if her eldest daughter hadn't made the deal that day?

Oh right, she also has a young daughter. If she gets involved too, what kind of show will I get to see?

Luo Feng's real purpose wasn't trading souls; his ultimate goal was to make himself happy and have fun.

Just like before when he delivered weapons and power to that person, taking away his lifespan and soul, he could have easily taken Inoue's lifespan, but he didn't.

He wanted to keep that person in despair for a while longer, so that when he occasionally saw his masterpiece, he would smile knowingly.

Tsk, the devil's pleasure is so simple, unadorned, and boring.

"Then, could you help me assess the value of my youngest daughter's soul?" Yukinoshita Saori tentatively asked, "Perhaps my youngest daughter's soul would be more to your liking?"

Selling Yukino is better than selling Haruno.

Yang Nai's role is too great; the revitalization of the family still depends on Yang Nai.

She didn't know what kind of aftereffects the so-called loss of the soul would have, and with the family needing to continue its lineage and revitalize, Yang Nai couldn't afford to be harmed.

“Sure, let her come,” Luo Feng said. “If the price is right, I’ll definitely give you a price that will satisfy you.”

He didn't expect his youngest daughter's soul to reach Sora Ginko's standard; he was only thinking about how to make it more interesting to put his earlier idea into practice.

We can't let her give up on herself; we need to make her life full of ups and downs.

Life is only exciting when it's full of variables.

Tsk, I'm still thinking about her life and helping her broaden her horizons. I'm so kind.

Yukinoshita Saori took a deep breath and dialed a number.

"Hello, Mother, is something the matter?"

"Yukino, come find me."

"what happened?"

"I have something very important to discuss with you. I need to introduce you to someone very important."

"A marriage alliance?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was cold.

"No, absolutely not a marriage alliance. I assure you, it's just a business deal we're discussing."

"I don't understand business matters."

"Yukino, are you going to defy me?" Yukinoshita Saori said coldly, "Or do you have a way to cover up the family's financial deficit? I can give you your current position, but I can also take it back."

In the past, she would have spoken in a sarcastic tone, but now she has no interest in it.

Fortunately, she was never given real power, otherwise she would be a bit out of control.

Fortunately, she loves her job and knows how she got it.

If she doesn't have the desire to realize her self-worth, things will be really difficult.

Lady Yukinoshita was very grateful for the success of her education.

"……Where are you?"

Yukinoshita Saori gave an address.

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

"I hope your other daughter won't disappoint you too much." Luo Feng tapped the table.

Squeak.

Just then, the door to another room opened, and Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

Sora Ginko, dressed in a maid outfit, looked embarrassed and indignant, it was unclear whether she wanted to come or not.

Looking at her ashamed and indignant expression, Luo Feng suddenly realized that the potential for pleasure emanating from her was greater than he had imagined.

"Look, what are you looking at..." Sora Ginko pressed down on her skirt to cover her chest.

"It's nothing, you're very beautiful."

Luo Feng waved his hand, not holding back his praise.

It has to be said that a beautiful soul paired with a cute appearance is the devil's favorite.

Chapter 043? An Interesting Soul

"Have you met the maid before?" Luo Feng pointed to the red wine in the backstage area: "Pour me some wine. If you do a good job, you can leave early."

Sora Ginko gritted her teeth: "Don't they have any normal waitress uniforms...?"

She preferred something more normal to a maid outfit.

"You've never even been to a maid cafe before?" Luo Feng said with a half-smile, "This is a maid izakaya, of course I have to wear this."

"A maid izakaya? How did you even come up with that idea..." Sora Ginko thought the maid izakaya concept was just bizarre.

Maid cafes cater to otaku, which is relatively safe, since most otaku are harmless. But izakayas cater to all sorts of alcoholics!

Forget it, no one dares to cause trouble here anyway.

"I'm the boss. You work here, so of course you have to listen to me." Luo Feng didn't care about her little temper at all.

Without a personality, one is just a puppet. What Luo Feng wants is not an emotionless puppet, but a lively and energetic Kong Yinzi.

The happier and more natural a person is, the more meaningful their despair will be.

If someone has nothing left and doesn't care about anything, experiencing despair is just adding to their happiness, not providing help in times of need.

Hmm, these two idioms seem a bit off here? But they seem to work fine when facing Luo Feng.

"Okay." Kong Yinzi handed him a wine glass and poured Luo Feng a glass of red wine as if he were pouring beer.

Luo Feng didn't care. To him, apart from the holy water being mixed with human sins, it tasted just so-so.

Kong Yinzi initially only wanted to get revenge on Luo Feng for making her wear a maid outfit, but after she finished, she suddenly remembered that Luo Feng was a very petty person, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Will he punish me?

Seeing that Luo Feng didn't seem to care, Kong Yinzi breathed a sigh of relief and became a little bolder.

People's tempers are mostly spoiled. Luo Feng wanted to spoil Kong Yinzi a bit, since there were plenty of places to get it back.

Yukinoshita Saori secretly observed Luo Feng and Sora Ginko, wondering about their relationship. It seemed rather strange.

Shouldn't a working person be more polite?

Seeing that Luo Feng didn't say anything, she naturally wouldn't say anything more, since this wasn't an ordinary shop.

Besides, there's a high chance they have some other relationship.

Luo Feng picked up the wine glass and instinctively wanted to shake it, but looking at the full glass, he was worried that a lot of it would spill out if he shook it.

Never mind, let's just drink it.

Kong Yinzi poured the wine but didn't know what to do next, so she stood next to Luo Feng and stared at him.

"If you have nothing to do, go wipe the table and the floor. Do I need to remind you how to be a maid?" Luo Feng said with a half-smile.

"Hmph." Kong Yinzi put down the wine bottle and went to wipe the table.

The izakaya was shockingly clean; there were practically no stains on the tables or the floor. Sora was happy to have a quiet time while doing this.

The group didn't have to wait long before a woman walked in from outside.

She had a dignified appearance, long black hair that reached past her shoulders, and an adorable face that was almost unfair. She had side-swept bangs, and her gaze was so cold that people didn't want to look directly at her. She exuded an aura of righteous indignation.

Judging from her appearance, she looks somewhat like Yukinoshita Saori, and also very much like Yukinoshita Haruno. They are obviously from the same family. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to have inherited the advantages of her older sister and mother in terms of figure, but she is very slender.

She was wearing a well-fitting blazer with a white shirt underneath, not a uniform as Luo Feng had expected.

She glanced at Luo Feng and Yukinoshita Saori, then looked at Sora Gin, who was wiping the table, and raised an eyebrow. "A student working part-time?"

It's not uncommon for junior high and high school students in Japan to work part-time. Many people like to work during long holidays, and students are also allowed to work during the school year. Yukino Yukinoshita was no exception.

What she was concerned about was whether the store only had one server.

She didn't consider Luo Feng to be the owner of the shop at all; after all, Luo Feng's clothes and demeanor didn't look like those of an izakaya owner at all.

Is this person...my mother's friend? Or is he trying to set me up on a blind date?

Yukino Yukinoshita is used to arranged marriages, but they never end up working out, and this time will probably be no exception.

She strode over to Yukinoshita Saori, sat down, and scrutinized Luo Feng with a critical gaze.

In her eyes, most of the men who were acquainted with her mother had some criminal record, but they were very good at hiding it.

There's no need to even think about it. The Japanese underworld is legal, and most of those who rise to power have a criminal background. The chances of someone like Yukinoshita Saori reaching that level without committing crimes are extremely low.

Saori Yukinoshita doesn't like taking Yukino out because Yukino's personality is too awkward. After Yukino finished high school and entered the workforce, Saori thought she would become more worldly-wise, but she turned out to be even more upright than before. This may also be related to her position.
