163: Chapter 163 and more

One spirit money after another instantly turned to powder in Chu Xuan's hands.

Xinyue Fox stared intently at Chu Xuan, her teeth chattering: "You were calculating against me just now, deliberately inducing me to bet with you?"

"It's only because you're too stupid."

Chu Xuan once again adopted an arrogant attitude:

"I said long ago that I have [Tianji]. With great Luck upon me, I am invincible. How could I possibly lose this small gamble? It's your own lack of brains and greed that are to blame. However, it's good that you didn't violate the bet and continue acting foolishly, otherwise you would have paid a much higher price!"

Xinyue Fox couldn't help but tremble, looking deeply at Chu Xuan.

At this moment, in her eyes, Chu Xuan really seemed to have Luck upon him.

No matter what he did, everything went smoothly. Even if his Rank wasn't high, if one underestimated him or opposed him because of it, the final result would surely be a miserable death.

"Is [Tianji] really that terrifying? Even more powerful than the rumored [Luck]..." Xinyue Fox couldn't help but mutter.

"[Luck]? Whose talent is that?" Chu Xuan asked.

"I've only heard rumors, I haven't actually seen it..." Xinyue Fox shook her head.

Chu Xuan nodded slightly and didn't ask more. At this time, the System prompt appeared again.

[Your spirituality value +30]

[Current spirituality value: 236]

Chu Xuan knew that, just like at Shouguo Temple in the dream, the Phantom Demon had devoured a Specter through his body, and the System provided feedback.

With a flash of thought, Chu Xuan spoke indifferently: "Phantom Demon, this is a top-tier C-rank Ghost. You only gave me this little spirituality value, do you think that's appropriate? We agreed before on a ninety-ten split."

"My friend, don't be too greedy! The ninety-ten split agreement only applies to the gains after I guide you to find False Gods Believers and kill them. That little fellow just now was not the same."

The Phantom Demon smiled gently, seemingly mixed with satisfaction after tasting delicious food:

"If I hadn't helped you devour it as food, how could you have won the bet? Being able to share 30 spirituality points with you is already my greatest benevolence. You should be satisfied."

"You shared it with me? This was clearly absorbed directly by the System! How about this..."

Chu Xuan originally wanted to follow the lines from Shouguo Temple and agree on a fifty-fifty split in the future to trick the Phantom Demon into giving him more spirituality value.

But he suddenly remembered that he was currently deceiving the other party into believing this was reality, not a dream.

This dream, from Tang Zheng's house all the way to here, all of Chu Xuan's actions seemed to be under control. It wasn't just to show the power of [Tianji] to Xinyue Fox, but more to deceive the Phantom Demon.

If he caused the Phantom Demon to suspect this was still a dream for the sake of a little spirituality value, it would be a bit of a loss.

At this point, Chu Xuan immediately changed his wording: "How about this, I will look for more Dark Rifts like this in the future so you can devour more Specters, just like just now. A win-win cooperation."

"That would be for the best, of course."

"So shouldn't you share a bit more with me? Without me, you wouldn't have any harvest at all, don't you think?"

"So that's your plan... You really are a greedy human, but I agree."

[A Strange Creatures from the Dark World is transferring spirituality value to you. Do you choose to absorb it?]

——Yes.

[Your spirituality value +4]

[Current spirituality value: 240]

"Just this little?"

Chu Xuan naturally knew the reason, but to maintain his ignorant image in front of the other party, he asked anyway.

"My friend, there's something you don't know. It's because when every human and Pioneer dies, the spirituality value we can extract is only a small part; most of it is seized by the two worlds..."

Chu Xuan's "talking to himself" seemed strange to everyone, but they soon figured out a possibility and were even more shocked.

Xinyue Fox blurted out: "There's an A-Rank Specter inside you? But how is that possible... If an A-Rank Specter really came out of a Dark Rift, it would be impossible to control. It would definitely occupy your body directly and parasitize you..."

"What is an A-Rank Specter worth?"

Chu Xuan smiled proudly: "Since you have informants in the government, don't you know that an S-rank Specter escaped from the Night Demon's Forbidden Domain?"

"You mean..."

Xinyue Fox's narrow eyes behind the mask suddenly widened: "You deliberately participated in the Night Demon Incident, not just to farm spirituality value by killing the Night Demon Clone, but also because you knew in advance that an S-rank Specter was descending, and you let it enter your body to replace the original Specter? How dare you?"

Chu Xuan said calmly: "I have Tianji; all things are possible."

"But how did you do it? That's an S-rank Specter! If it completely controls your body, it can instantly use the Power of Rules to deploy a large-scale Forbidden Domain. How can such a terrifying existence coexist with you?" Xinyue Fox was still in disbelief.

"Do you want to know?"

"Yes, yes." Xinyue Fox nodded repeatedly.

The corners of Chu Xuan's mouth curled up as he softly uttered four words: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Xinyue Fox was suddenly speechless, but at this moment, she no longer felt displeased by the arrogance Chu Xuan displayed. Instead, she felt it was only natural.

Even the matter of being scammed out of quite a bit of spirit money just now was suppressed in her heart. She could only consider herself unlucky and had no intention of trying to get even.

Not only her, but even Fox, whose leg had been wounded by the submachine gun and who had always harbored resentment toward Chu Xuan, didn't dare to show any more resentment. All that remained in his eyes was awe.

"Chu Xuan, you are fully qualified to become a Constellation Envoy. I will report your situation to Azure Dragon. He will definitely be very interested in you!" Xinyue Fox said solemnly, her words hinting at a desire to make friends.

Chu Xuan realized he had made the right move.

Most people have a psychological tendency to admire the strong, especially for Transcendents whose individual strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, and the Xinyue Fox before him clearly displayed this tendency to the fullest.

"You might as well contact Azure Dragon now. I'm in a hurry." Chu Xuan said straightforwardly. Since the other party responded well to this, he would continue to maintain this persona.

"This..." Xinyue Fox hesitated for a moment and waved toward the entrance of the second floor: "You guys go down first."

In the next second, at the empty entrance to the second floor, more than ten people holding various firearms suddenly appeared. They nodded respectfully to Xinyue Fox and then went downstairs one after another.

Only then did Xinyue Fox explain: "I cannot proactively contact Azure Dragon. Only he can find me. Although he sees me relatively frequently because we are both in Haicheng, it's at most once a week to give me new instructions."

"When does he usually see you?"

"The specific time cannot be determined."

Hearing this, Chu Xuan no longer insisted on seeing Azure Dragon immediately. Instead, he said: "In that case, let's continue with our previous business. Perform Spirit Washing for my brother."

At this point, Chu Xuan suddenly smiled: "Do you still have enough spirit money to continue summoning Specters? Should I lend you some?"

He said this on purpose.

120 spirit money was just an appetizer; Chu Xuan wanted more!
