Chapter 84

To Get Stronger, I’m Forced to Grind Their Affection

"You must agree to my other request."

Xixizi said this.

Luolin sat in the wheelchair, but he couldn't refute Xixizi either—this was a condition they had agreed upon beforehand.

Regarding the casino incident from a few days ago, Xixizi had lent Luolin twenty-two gold coins, but unexpectedly, it still wasn't nearly enough.

Fortunately, Luolin had kept a backup plan.

At that time, Xixizi told Luolin that with that amount of money, he might still not be able to compete with Willis, but she wouldn't lend him any more money.

She could only agree to one other thing.

That is, if at that moment he really couldn't compete with Willis, and Luolin didn't want to give up, then Luolin would give her a signal—a hand gesture or something—to her in VIP Room Number One.

Then, Xixizi would be responsible for bidding it down under Willis's subordinates.

But as part of the deal, afterward Luolin would have to follow her orders and unconditionally agree to one of her requests.

Luolin agreed, and now it was time to fulfill this matter.

Luolin let out a light breath. Based on his current understanding of Xixizi, he knew she would very likely propose some strange conditions.

For example, making him continue what happened a few days ago.

If that were the case, Luolin couldn't refuse either. Luolin could only accept.

"I know, go ahead and say it."

After Luolin finished speaking, he lowered his head in silence, while Ailuka kept her gaze tightly fixed on Xixizi.

Xixizi smiled at her.

"After your injuries heal, how about continuing to work for me?"

Xixizi said, and Luolin thought to himself that it was indeed so.

Ailuka immediately became somewhat agitated, her palms clenched tightly, and even Luolin could feel her trembling.

Luolin couldn't comfort her, but still, Luolin couldn't escape or break the agreement.

Because even if he didn't agree, if Xixizi really wanted to do this, she had plenty of ways.

"Alright, I..."

"Just kidding!"

But before Luolin could finish speaking, Xixizi suddenly interrupted him.

Then she looked at the two of them with almost identical dazed expressions and laughed softly.

"You two really are—even your surprised expressions are exactly the same."

Xixizi slowly calmed her laughter, and her emotions settled along with it.

"Mr. Luolin, listen carefully to what I'm about to say."

Xixizi's expression became much more serious.

"From a certain moment not long ago, you have already shouldered your destiny."

Xixizi glanced at Ailuka again.

"You are the same."

Then she said this to Ailuka as well.

"You two will surely have doubts and confusion about what has happened before and what is about to happen next, but you must remember, the trial has only just begun, the path of retreat has completely collapsed, and all you can do is move forward."

As she spoke, Xixizi slowly turned around, her back facing Luolin.

After a moment of silence, she turned her head back to look at them.

"As for what I want you to do."

She walked in front of Shirna and slowly crouched down.

"Listen, actually the one who bought you is me, so I should also count as half your master, right? However, you're going to act together with them next."

Shirna and Luolin had the slave mark, which was equivalent to signing a contract that could never be severed.

"In that case, I'd be at a bit of a loss. How about... starting from today, all three of your teams must hand over one-third of all commission fees from your assignments to me. What do you say?"

Xixizi finally put forward her demand.

Luolin met her gaze, and then Luolin nodded very decisively.

"Alright."

Luolin said.

"Then it's settled. You must come find me every month and bring the money."

Xixizi said with satisfaction, then left the room under the gaze of the three people including Luolin.

Not long after, Luolin finally let out a sigh.

At this point, things had finally come to a temporary conclusion, hadn't they?

His gaze turned to Shirna, then to Ailuka.

"Master, thank you for saving me."

Shirna once again expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Luolin, while Ailuka stood to the side with her arms crossed.

"Well, this time, it's true that we owe it all to you."

Even she acknowledged Luolin.

[Shirna's favorability +1000, card upgraded to Tier 2]

[Ailuka's favorability +500]

[Stage reward obtained, favorability points +20000, automatically repaying owed favorability points, remaining debt 68400]

[Current favorability held: 0]

[Due to resentment value not meeting the standard, no resentment stage reward for this phase.]

[Current resentment value held: 3600]

[If the resentment value system continues to lag too far behind in the next stage, it will be devoured by the favorability system.]

A series of continuous system notifications made Luolin feel like someone was having a rave inside his skull.

However, this situation only lasted for a while before it stopped, and only then could Luolin process the large amount of information he had just received.

In any case, things had come to a temporary end, but regarding what would happen next, Luolin still felt it was shrouded in fog.

There was only a thick sense of unease.

But at this moment, Luolin felt himself filled with determination.
