Chapter 2938: Chapter 2939: Collaboration
"Master, I repeated everything you taught me to Wu Qiao Jun, and now she fully trusts me. What should I do next?" Aunt Liu asked cautiously.
Silence ensued in the darkness, and after a long pause, a deep voice slowly spoke.
"Don’t bother with that foolish person for now. Let me ask you, was anyone following you before you came here?"
Aunt Liu was stunned, then shook her head immediately, "No, I took a massive detour to get here, no one could have followed me!"
"Haha, that’s because you simply didn’t notice! Someone has already arrived in the courtyard, do you still claim no one followed you?"
Aunt Liu was shocked, immediately turned around to look, but saw the courtyard completely empty, not a single shadow in sight.
"Since you are already here, there’s no need to hide. Please show yourself so we can have a proper discussion! I have some matters I wish to negotiate as well."
As soon as the words dropped, ripples appeared in the air, and then Xue An’s figure gradually manifested.
Upon seeing him, Aunt Liu almost jumped up from the ground.
"You..."
She was dumbstruck, about to speak, but footsteps echoed from behind her, followed by a mysterious figure wrapped in a large cloak walking out of the darkness.
"You may step back now."
Aunt Liu dared not disobey, bowed deeply, and retreated.
Xue An wasn’t surprised this mysterious figure could sense his presence.
Being a wicked creature naturally entails certain unique abilities.
"I don’t see anything we need to discuss," Xue An replied faintly.
The mysterious figure chuckled, "Indeed, just as the rumors describe, so aloof!"
Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, "You know me?"
"Of course I know you. In fact, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have plotted so much!"
Xue An’s expression gradually grew solemn.
If what this mysterious figure says is true, then his every move has clearly been under the watch of wicked creatures.
That is not good news.
"No need to be so tense, I harbor no ill intent. As for how I guessed you’d come here, it’s because I have a special ability allowing me to see a vague glimpse of future events!" The mysterious figure explained.
"What do you want to discuss with me?" Xue An asked coldly.
He certainly wouldn’t let his guard down just because of a few words from this mysterious figure.
"I want to cooperate with you!"
"Cooperate?" Xue An smirked coldly, shaking his head, "I don’t think I’ll cooperate with wicked creatures!"
"Don’t rush to refuse. Hear me out and decide afterwards!"
"As you probably know, not all wicked creatures are bad; there are orderly factions among them, and I come from such a faction, so there’s no need for you to be so hostile!"
"Moreover, our goals are actually the same. You want to eliminate the Space-Time Serpent Shuming and uncover the truth of the past. I also wish to eradicate those idiots intent on destroying the world!"
"We have a shared goal, isn’t that a good foundation for cooperation?"
Xue An coldly glanced down at the mysterious figure whose facial features were indistinct but was much shorter than himself.
"Why do you want to eliminate those wicked creatures? Aren’t you the same kind?"
The mysterious figure sighed, "Precisely because they are of the same kind, I wish to eradicate them. Left unchecked, they will inevitably cause massive catastrophe, even affecting those of us who abide honestly!"
It’s the first time Xue An heard someone use "honest" to describe wicked creatures.
"Haha, do you think I would believe you?"
"You will, because if we can reach cooperation, it will only be beneficial to you, not harmful. After all, even now you remain clueless about the true wicked creature world, right?"
Xue An remained silent.
Indeed, the mysterious figure’s words were true. Although he had gathered much information along the way, he was still completely unfamiliar with the true world of wicked creatures.
He didn’t even know where these wicked creatures originated from or what their social structure was like.
If the mysterious figure were to reveal such information, it would be tremendously beneficial to him.
Yet Xue An remained utterly cautious.
For he firmly believed in the saying: there will not be a free lunch falling from the sky.
Especially when facing an unknown entity, he must be exceedingly careful.
Seemingly perceiving Xue An’s concern, the mysterious figure hesitated for a moment, then boldly removed the cloak.
And Xue An was stunned.
He truly didn’t expect the mysterious creature trying to discuss cooperation with him to appear like this.
It was a petite girl, no taller than 1.4 meters, fair-skinned and beautiful, sporting two long twin ponytails, with eyes like a deer’s, utterly captivating.
Even Xue An, who had seen countless women, had never met such a pretty and adorable girl.
As if she walked out straight from a manga.
However, Xue An’s shock lasted less than a second before he regained his composure.
Noticing Xue An’s shift in mindset, the little girl nodded with satisfaction and then casually extended her hand.
"Let’s get acquainted. My name is Nai Yingying, or you can call me Nana-ko!"
Xue An pondered briefly, then extended his hand for a light handshake.
"No need to be surprised; this is my true form! I simply always felt my appearance wasn’t imposing enough, hard to intimidate others, hence the cloak!" Nai Yingying smiled, revealing two deep dimples.
No matter how one looks at her, she seems like a human girl, not an eerie wicked creature.
But Xue An still detected a faint hint of wicked aura from her.
"I hope this conveys my sincerity adequately; shall we discuss cooperation next?" Nai Yingying spoke naturally.
Instead of addressing the topic, Xue An asked directly, "Why did you instruct your subordinate to incite Wu Qiao Jun to offer herself to me?"
Nai Yingying shrugged, "Would you believe me if I said no reason?"
Xue An’s face grew colder.
"Well, alright, alright, I was merely joking. Why take it so seriously?"
Nai Yingying acted coquettishly, her twin ponytails swayed, her cuteness enough to make the average man nosebleed.
Unfortunately, Xue An was not an average man; he was unaffected by Nai Yingying’s antics.
Nai Yingying had to clear her throat and continue.
"Originally, I indeed intended for Wu Qiao Jun to take the Wu Family Head position, but later realized she was utterly incompetent. Her becoming Family Head wouldn’t help, but rather make matters worse!"
