"Uh..."
The little girl with a human face on one side and a fox face on the other narrowed her eyes, her expression turning displeased. She snapped, "Human, this is no way to discuss a deal—with that tone and attitude!"
"I, Xiao Han, have always spoken in this tone and had only this attitude. So, is it a deal or not?" Xiao Han replied domineeringly, completely ignoring her.
"Fine. Deal."
The little girl with the human and fox faces took a deep breath. Turning a human into a demon was simply too easy for her. Exhaling smoke, she tapped her pipe twice. Her gaze swept over the three glowing spheres at Xiao Han's fingertips, and she added, "But what exactly are you offering? From what I can see, what you're offering is..."
"What I'm offering is permission for your Bao Qing Workshop to continue existing," Xiao Han cut in before her.
"You...?"
The little girl's expression changed instantly. Her head turned, revealing the fox side of her face as she glared at Xiao Han and coldly demanded, "How is that any different from dining and dashing?"
"Of course it's different."
A crafty gleam flashed in Xiao Han's eyes as he said calmly, "Though you're a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Fox and have already cultivated to the Nine-Tails realm, you should know that with my abilities, I could wipe out your Bao Qing Workshop with a wave of my hand."
"You..."
The fox side of the little girl's face glared furiously at Xiao Han, her lips moving soundlessly.
Ever since its founding, her Bao Qing Workshop had stood tall across the human, demon, and Immortal Realms, famed far and wide. She had always been the one exploiting and bullying humans, demons, and immortals. When had anyone ever dared to bully her?
