Looking at the caller ID.
The succubus, who had been bored until now, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she showed a rare smile. Due to her race, strength, and the nature of her work, she rarely had friends, and 'Embroidered Shoes' was one of her few.
Immediately.
Ignoring the infatuated gazes of the Ghost King, the other Ghost Kings, and the workers who were mesmerized by her smile, she answered the phone:
"Embroidered Shoes, why are you calling me? Do you miss me, darling~"
Even her voice was seductive and alluring, like an older sister, making one's bones tingle.
As soon as she spoke.
A similarly pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line:
"Bella, you can't go a day without being slutty, can you? Tone it down, I'm not your prey."
"Who said that? I'm attracted to both men and women."
The succubus said, her fingers touching her luscious red lips, and she licked them with her tongue:
"If you don't mind, I can rub against you."
After she spoke.
Embroidered Shoes' laughter echoed from the phone, clearly amused by the succubus. The succubus also burst into laughter.
Then.
Embroidered Shoes' voice came:
"It seems you haven't encountered any prey lately, have you? You're getting desperate."
"Not at all. Me wanting to rub against you, how can that be considered desperate? This is called choosing quality resources."
"Oh, come on. We've rubbed before. Your lewd words clearly show you haven't found any prey recently. Tell me, how many days has it been since you last hunted?"
"You still see through me. You're right, I haven't hunted in a long time."
The succubus said, counting on her fingers, and lamented:
"Let me see, it's been almost three years since I last hunted. Embroidered Shoes, I'm so pitiful, comfort me quickly."
"Three years? That long? So, you haven't hunted since the last time we rubbed and you've advanced to your current strength."
Embroidered Shoes' tone of surprise was undisguised. Soon after, she rolled her eyes and said irritably:
"Oh, please. You don't need my comfort. You're just too picky. With your abilities, which Ghost King wouldn't be captivated by you."
As soon as she said that.
The succubus helplessly spread her slender hands:
"How am I picky? It's just that those prey look useless. I'm a succubus with the highest bloodline, and I've grown to this level. How can I compromise myself just to eat? If the prey isn't delicious, I won't eat it."
In her words.
The succubus covered her mouth and chuckled:
"Besides, I've eaten high-class cuisine like you. My palate must have been spoiled, right? I can't rub with you and then go hunt trashy Ghost Kings, can I? That would be beneath you."
"You're still so sweet when you talk."
"If I'm not sweet, how can I be a succubus? So, darling~ help me find some prey so I can have a taste."
"I don't have any prey, but the men in my Great Xia are good. You can try them."
Embroidered Shoes said directly.
However.
The succubus curled her lips and replied:
"You can lie to me all you want. I've hunted men from Great Xia before, or I wouldn't have been three years without hunting. They all look good but are useless."
Embroidered Shoes smiled, not angered by the succubus's words. She knew she was very picky, otherwise, she wouldn't have grown to her current height. Succubi, as a special kind of ghost, grow differently from other types.
Afterward.
Embroidered Shoes didn't say much more and got straight to the point:
"That's because you chose the wrong ones. If you don't believe me, come to Great Xia next time and look around. There are still very good ones. For example, the high-ranking officials our Senluo Division has recently recruited, a ghost that's an old willow tree spirit. I think it's very good. Anyway, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk business."
Before she finished speaking.
Embroidered Shoes said solemnly:
"How is your side going? Have you gathered all the goods? Our Senluo Division lost too many members in the incident in the Northeast. For our next plan, we urgently need to replenish personnel."
The succubus heard this and said with a smile:
"I've found them all for you. They're being loaded at the dock now. I found them from Asia, and to avoid suspicion, I transshipped them to the States. I'll deliver them to you tonight."
"So fast? As expected of you."
"Heh heh~ Of course. You personally assigned the task, and I personally handled it, so why wouldn't it be fast?"
"It's a shame. With your abilities, if you came to our Senluo Division, your importance would be second only to Senluo, enough to be on par with that zombie imprisoned in the Wei Dao Division's jail."
Regarding Embroidered Shoes' words.
The succubus smiled:
"You want to persuade me again, don't you, darling~ You know I dislike forming factions. It affects my hunting."
"I know."
Embroidered Shoes replied, not minding, it was just a casual remark. Then she continued:
"By the way, I'm not just here to ask about the goods, I also want to make another deal with you."
"A deal? Sure, I love it. Darling~ Tell me, how many ghosts do you want this time?"
"The number of ghosts I want this time isn't important. I hope you can help me bring at least half-step Ghost King level or higher ghosts. Our Senluo Division's next plan is about to begin. We not only need manpower but also a large amount of high-end combat power."
Speaking of which.
Embroidered Shoes said solemnly:
"Senluo has instructed me to tell you that as long as you, Bella, can bring ghosts of half-step Ghost King level or higher, the more the better, the price is negotiable. As a deposit, I've already sent someone with it, a drop of Hanba's blood. After the job is done, there will be more rewards."
Upon hearing the reward.
The succubus's heart-shaped eyes lit up. Even though she was a Western ghost, she had heard of the Hanba. That was a top-tier bloodline ghost. With its blood, if she consumed it, her strength would increase significantly.
Immediately.
The succubus chuckled:
"You know me best, using Hanba's blood to move me. I can't refuse this deal. Alright, I'll do my best to find you ghosts of half-step Ghost King level or higher as soon as possible. When exactly should I deliver them?"
"In a month. After all, you just transported ghosts. If you transport again, it will alert others."
"No problem. In a month, I will definitely try my best to bring you a satisfactory quantity. To show my sincerity, darling~ I have a newly recruited Ghost King in front of me. I'll send it to your Senluo Division first as my deposit."
The succubus said, glancing at the Ghost King who was reporting to her.
At this moment.
The Ghost King also noticed the succubus's gaze. Although he didn't understand the meaning of the Chinese words the succubus was saying, he understood her gaze. He immediately knelt on one knee before her and kissed her high heel:
"I am willing to do anything for you, my Queen."
As he spoke.
The succubus lifted her foot and stepped on the Ghost King's head, saying directly:
"Then you will go to Great Xia and be a ghost for the Senluo Division. When you return, I will reward you~"
As she said the last sentence, the succubus's high heel on his head pressed down slightly. However, the Ghost King was not angry at all. Instead, upon hearing this, he became even more excited, his breathing becoming rapid and heavy:
"Yes, yes, I will complete the Queen's orders well. Please, Queen, be sure to reward me then!"
After he spoke.
The Ghost King's every word and action were seen by the surrounding ghosts, who all looked envious, as if wishing they were the ones being stepped on.
