Chapter 298: Chapter 298

Sister Zhou nodded, then said with some confusion, "Then that brings up the issue, how do we divide these spoils of war?"

Su Yan had already figured out what to say to address Sister Zhou’s confusion. He said to her directly, "Sister Zhou, regarding the division of spoils, let’s follow the principle that the harder worker gets the bigger share. I’ll take the lion’s share, and you’ll take the smaller portion. Do you think that’s acceptable?"

"It should be this way; I have no objections." Sister Zhou nodded in agreement, showing no signs of doubt towards Su Yan’s proposal.

To be honest, let alone her taking the smaller portion, even if Su Yan had been greedy enough to keep all the spoils for himself, she would have had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing that Sister Zhou had no objections, Su Yan immediately smiled and added, "How about this, Sister Zhou. I’ll take all the spoils this time, and I’ll give you one million. Is that acceptable to you?"

Curse tools were items whose value was currently unclear, and they were difficult to divide individually. Therefore, Su Yan proposed using money instead of dividing the spoils themselves.

"One million?" Sister Zhou asked Su Yan, her voice tinged with excitement, half-believing she’d misheard.

After all, one million was what she might earn in half a month, perhaps even a full month, of constantly risking her life. And today, in less than half an evening, she could earn one million directly. This... it was somewhat unbelievable.

Su Yan couldn’t tell what Sister Zhou’s expression meant. Had it exceeded her expectations? Or fallen short? He simply said, "Yes, one million. Do you feel that’s acceptable?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Absolutely!" Sister Zhou eagerly nodded, unable to hide the joy on her face. She didn’t know exactly what Su Yan had found in the ancient mansion or its total value. All she knew was that her share of one million was already beyond her wildest dreams.

Seeing how excited Sister Zhou was, Su Yan knew he had given too much. But he didn’t see anything wrong with it. After all, Sister Zhou had risked her life to bring him here. One million was fair and reasonable, not an excessive premium.

Thinking this, Su Yan said to Sister Zhou, "Sister Zhou, send me your bank card number, and I’ll transfer the money when I get back to Jingdou."

"Alright, I’ll send it to you via Fetion."

The words were barely out of her mouth before Sister Zhou eagerly opened Fetion to send Su Yan her bank card number.

「Half an hour later.」

The two returned to the city center and went straight into a bank branch that offered 24-hour service to transfer the one million.

Once the transfer was complete, Sister Zhou, beaming, said, "Thank you, Boss Su!"

"You’re welcome," Su Yan replied with a smile, then added, "By the way, Sister Zhou, if there’s another good opportunity in the future, remember to call me. When it comes to dividing spoils, I’ll never let you down."

"No problem, if there’s good work in the future, you’ll be the first one I call!" Sister Zhou didn’t hesitate to agree with a nod.

In fact, even if Su Yan hadn’t mentioned it, she would have sought him out first for any similar adventures. After all, this was a generous Boss Su. Following him, one could not only drink soup but also eat meat. It could only be seen as a win-win, and a massive win at that.

「More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.」

The date was now September 1st.

On this day, Su Yan woke up early, ready to head to the school gate to volunteer for the new student welcome. Just as he was about to get out of bed, he suddenly felt a heavy weight on his body. There was also a sticky sensation on his collarbone, as if some viscous liquid had dripped there.

Su Yan looked up slightly. What met his gaze was a fox-eared girl, sound asleep.

Currently, the fox-eared girl had one leg draped over his waist and an arm across his chest, her head nestled by his neck. Overall, her sleeping posture was quite unseemly, entirely lacking the fairy-like grace girls often claimed to possess.

But that wasn’t even the worst part. The worst part was the drool continuously streaming from the corners of her mouth. It had flowed all over Su Yan’s neck, drenching a large patch of his collar underneath.

Seeing this incorrigible Fox Demon had once again crawled into his bed uninvited, Su Yan’s entire face darkened. Without a second thought, he grabbed Jiu Li off his body and expertly tossed her from the bed.

Jiu Li landed hard on the floor, right on her backside. The impact jolted her awake from her deep sleep.

However, instead of giving Su Yan her usual resentful glare, she said cheerfully, "Master, are you awake? Did you have a good sleep sharing a bed with Jiu Li last night?"

For the past month and a half, she had sneaked into Su Yan’s bed almost every night, forcing them to share. And every morning, she would be promptly thrown off the bed, always landing on her backside—a routine she had long since grown accustomed to.

Seeing Jiu Li’s cheerful demeanor, Su Yan felt a surge of annoyance. He said angrily, "I’ve told you countless times, stay out of my bed! Stay out of my bed! Why won’t you listen? If you keep this up, believe me, I’ll go to the school supermarket and buy some Mentholatum later!" Content orıginally comes from 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
