"Get out of the way!"
Soul Spirit Five roared. Who dared to pat his shoulder with their hand?
He slightly turned his head and saw a burly man, about his size, standing beside him.
"Who are you?"
It asked.
The burly man didn't speak. He casually took out a nameplate, which bore the number "Seven."
Soul Spirit Five understood. This was Soul Spirit Seven.
"You're finally here. If it weren't for coordinating with you, I'd have reported back ages ago!"
"Hahaha, what are you going to report back with?" Seven asked with a wry smile, squatting down to take off his shoes.
"Ugh! I told you to stay away from me!"
Soul Spirit Five couldn't help but curse.
It wasn't just him; if you saw Soul Spirit Seven's appearance, you'd also be compelled to curse.
Soul Spirit Seven took off his shoes and began to pick at his left foot with his right hand.
He pried each toe apart, even sticking his finger into the space between his big toe and the next, and rubbed vigorously. Then, he brought his hand to his nose, sniffed, and seemed to be lingering.
"Is that the kind of thing you're reporting back with?"
Seven pointed at Qian Shumei and asked.
"Yeah, what about it?"
"It's not even worth looking at. With that kind of person, how many Fortune Fruits can there be?"
"Who cares how many there are? As long as it's enough to report back, that's fine!" Five said indifferently.
They were the first batch of Soul Spirits sent out, meant for testing the waters, so there were no strict requirements.
"Don't you think about how to get the Lord to notice you?"
"This?"
Soul Spirit Five said, rubbing his mouth with his finger. Seeing Seven sniffing his finger, he moved his hand away with a look of disgust.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered earning merit. After all, the greater the merit, the more the Lord would favor him, and his status would naturally rise, freeing him from the training disk.
"But it's easier said than done. May I ask, old friend, what are your brilliant ideas?"
Seven, without lifting his head, casually pointed, "Even she is better than that kind of trash!"
Following Seven's finger, Soul Spirit Five saw Bai Suxiang and a young man enter the card hall.
"I know that kind of person is better, but people like that are full of righteousness and can't be easily manipulated, can they?" Soul Spirit Five said with some frustration.
If such people could be easily invaded by evil, then there would be no righteousness left in the world.
Bai Suxiang naturally exuded an aura of righteousness, which was why many ghosts or evil entities hesitated to approach her.
Besides, for their first mission, it was best to play it safe. This was why Soul Spirit Five had chosen Qian Shumei.
Qian Shumei was easy to control, and she was particularly addicted to gambling, which was her fatal weakness.
"Come, come, I'll give you a tip!"
Soul Spirit Seven said, signaling Soul Spirit Five to lean closer.
He whispered something into Five's ear. Soul Spirit Five immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, old friend. If this succeeds, I will repay you handsomely!"
From the moment Bai Suxiang entered the card hall, the boss's eyes had never left her.
She was in the prime of her youth and possessed fair skin and beautiful features.
Not only was her face attractive, but her temperament was also outstanding, completely out of place in a card hall.
"Xiao Xiang, you're here! Let me introduce you, this is the boss here, and also my friend. Let him keep you company for a while, I'll play a few rounds and be right back!"
As soon as Qian Shumei saw Bai Suxiang enter, she hurried to say.
This was a plan she had devised: Bai Suxiang would talk to the boss while she went to borrow money to recoup her losses. If she won, she would come out and take Bai Suxiang with her.
"Hey, Sister Mei! You..."
Before Bai Suxiang could finish speaking, the boss of the card room reached out and stopped her.
"Miss Bai, please come this way. Don't worry, you can still see her from here!"
As Bai Suxiang was about to leave, two burly men stepped forward and blocked her.
"What are you doing?"
Liu Sandao said coldly.
"Nothing much, just want to say a few words to Miss Bai. Please come this way!" Su Dan Novel Network
The boss said calmly.
He had experienced many such situations. This was his territory, and he was full of confidence.
The moment Liu Sandao entered the card hall, he sensed two Soul Spirits in the northeast direction. With an increase in the number of Soul Spirits, could there be a major operation planned?
He had already scanned the card hall, but he couldn't detect any signs of the leader. It seemed there were only these two Soul Spirits.
To avoid revealing his hand, he had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.
"What if I refuse?"
Bai Suxiang said angrily, gripping Liu Sandao's arm.
Liu Sandao understood her intent. He gently patted her shoulder and whispered a few words in her ear.
"It's alright, don't be afraid! I'll go in with you!"
"Hm?"
The two burly men glared at Liu Sandao and blocked him.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you here. It's just a few words, isn't it?"
Liu Sandao comforted Bai Suxiang.
The boss of the card room was quite pleased. This was a young man fresh out of school, with no experience of the world.
In a situation like this, anyone who couldn't protect his girlfriend was unreliable, which further boosted his confidence.
Hearing Liu Sandao's words, Bai Suxiang followed the boss into a room.
The room was dimly lit.
It was furnished with a luxurious sofa and a large coffee table. Opposite the sofa stood a wall that resembled a mirror.
"Miss Bai, please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"
The boss gestured for Bai Suxiang to sit and asked.
Out of instinctual caution, Bai Suxiang replied, "I'm not thirsty!"
"Hahaha! Don't be nervous. You can see Sister Mei from here. I'm friends with her too, so you don't need to be afraid."
"Not at all, not at all."
Bai Suxiang feigned composure, but her words still betrayed her unease.
Liu Sandao had told her that there were two Soul Spirits inside, possibly intending to harm Qian Shumei. He had instructed her to remain calm at all times and go with the flow. If possible, she should ask for a glass of water and keep it in front of her, and he would do his utmost to ensure her safety.
Out of trust, Bai Suxiang chose to follow the boss's arrangement.
As the boss spoke, he opened a bottle of red wine, took out two glasses, and began to pour.
After pouring, he picked up one of the glasses and handed it to Bai Suxiang.
"I, I don't drink!"
Bai Suxiang refused. It wasn't that she couldn't drink, but she wouldn't drink from strangers.
Strangely, the boss didn't press her. Instead, he casually took out a remote control and pressed a button.
The mirror-like wall opposite the sofa suddenly illuminated.
Through it, the situation at Qian Shumei's table could be clearly seen.
"Sigh, it's really not easy for a woman with a child."
Bai Suxiang remained silent as the boss continued to tell Qian Shumei's story.
He spoke of how she was a weak woman who went through a divorce due to domestic violence, raising her child alone. To give her child a better future, she chose to gamble. As a friend, the boss strongly disapproved of her gambling, believing it was a fruitless pursuit that many people looked down upon.
"But I want to help her! And I help her because she's worth it!"
