204: Chapter 204 The Torn White Shirt! The Billionaire CEO's Contract of Indenture, and the Crunchy Gu Worm!

"Squelch—!"

Black blood mixed with a foul stench sprayed onto Qin Xueji. Surprisingly, it made a scalp-numbing sound of strong acid corrosion.

Her white silk shirt, a custom piece worth hundreds of thousands, was instantly burned with a large hole.

A large expanse of snow-white, delicate skin was exposed to the air. Even her black lace bra inside was clearly visible, its edges slightly curling from the corrosion, outlining a breathtakingly deep curve.

"Ah!"

Qin Xueji cried out, instinctively reaching out to cover herself.

But in the next second, an even more terrifying sight made her blood run cold.

From Old Master Qin's wide-open mouth, a black multi-legged centipede, as long as an adult's forearm and covered in barbs and compound eyes, suddenly crawled out!

As soon as the monster emerged, it caught the scent of the unique "Xuan Merchant Treasure-Gathering Physique" on Qin Xueji. For a Gu, the essence blood of such a special Physique was ten thousand times more enticing than a withered old man.

"Hiss! Hiss!"

The Extreme Fiend Corpse Gu let out a piercing screech and launched itself like a projectile, heading straight for Qin Xueji's exposed, snow-white chest to bite!

"Help... Help me!" Qin Xueji was pale with fright, closing her eyes in desperate screams.

"Disgusting people at my doorstep? Did you ask me first?"

Su Yang snorted coldly.

He didn't even move a step, merely extending two fingers in a leisurely manner.

"Snap!"

In mid-air, that incredibly fierce Extreme Fiend Corpse Gu was suddenly held by some invisible iron pincers, coming to a dead stop just half an inch away from Qin Xueji's chest.

The Gu twisted its barbed body frantically, letting out a shrill scream, but it couldn't break free from Su Yang's Pure Yang True Qi condensed from afar.

"You're really damn ugly."

Su Yang frowned in disgust.

"Boss, boss! Give it to me!" On the wall, Mary flapped her bat wings excitedly, her crimson eyes filled with greed. "Even though this bug is ugly, it's soaked in Extreme Yin Death Qi. It's a great tonic!"

"Here, have it as a snack."

With a casual wave of Su Yang's hand, the horrifying Gu drew a parabola in the air.

Mary opened her small mouth, which was lined with fangs, and caught it perfectly.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The crisp sound of chewing echoed in the silent alley. Mary was like someone eating fried dough twists, crushing and swallowing the Gu in just a few bites, even licking the black slime off her fingers with lingering desire.

This scene made the dozens of elite bodyguards lying on the ground vomit instantly.

Qin Xueji's stomach also churned, but she couldn't afford to be afraid. She hurriedly looked at her grandfather in the wheelchair.

After the Gu was removed, the black Qi on the Old Master's forehead vanished instantly. Though his breathing was still weak, his complexion had visibly regained a hint of color.

"This... it's cured just like that?" Qin Xueji's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

A terminal illness that countless national medical masters in Jiangnan Province were helpless against, declaring he wouldn't survive the night, was solved by this man with just a flick of his fingers and feeding a pet?

"What else? Did you want me to set up an altar, perform a ritual, and do a shamanic dance?"

Holding his teacup, Su Yang's gaze swept unhesitatingly over the torn part of Qin Xueji's white shirt.

"You've got quite a figure."

"But, business is business. Now that the illness is cured, it's time to talk about my reward."

Hearing this, Qin Xueji's face flushed, and she instinctively clutched her tattered collar.

She remembered Su Yang saying "I want something from you" earlier. Combined with his current somewhat aggressive gaze, her heart pounded.

Although she was the billionaire CEO of a conglomerate and the ice-cold goddess pursued by countless young talents, in the face of absolute power and the debt of saving a life, she knew she had no room for negotiation.

If this god-like man really wanted her body...

Qin Xueji bit her red lip, a flash of determination in her eyes.

She actually slowly released the hand protecting her chest, allowing that stunning expanse of snow-white to be exposed to the night wind. Her voice trembled but remained firm: "Mr. Su saved my grandfather; I have no way to repay you. If you do not mind my humble appearance, I am willing... willing to stay and serve you tonight."

After speaking, she closed her eyes as if resigning herself to fate.

However, the expected rough embrace did not come.

"Pfft, hahahaha!"

Su Yang couldn't help himself and burst out laughing on the spot, nearly spilling his tea.

"Humble appearance? You have quite an accurate self-assessment."

Su Yang turned toward the courtyard. "Xiao Bai, come out for a moment."

As soon as he spoke, Bai Li, dressed in a white gown and radiating Immortal Qi, floated out from the courtyard like a Lingbo Fairy.

She simply stood quietly beside Su Yang. The peerless beauty and world-toppling charm unique to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox instantly made the entire dim alley pale in comparison.

Qin Xueji opened her eyes, and the moment she saw Bai Li, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

She felt utterly eclipsed.

For the first time in her life, the phrase "feeling inferior" appeared in the dictionary of this billionaire female CEO.

Compared to the woman in the white dress before her, the beauty and temperament she was usually so proud of were simply not worth mentioning, like mere commoners!

"See?" Su Yang pointed at Bai Li, then at the sexy and enchanting Mary on the wall. "In this courtyard of mine, the one thing I don't lack is beautiful women."

"I want you, but not because I'm lusting after your body."

"I've taken a liking to your fate and your business mind."

Su Yang reached into the Void Realm, and a parchment scroll shimmering with dark gold light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"This is called a Soul Contract."

"Sign it. From now on, you and your entire Qin Group are my private wallet. I want you to help me collect all sorts of information and Materials I need in the secular world, and handle secular trifles."

"Simply put, I want you to be my unpaid head manager. Understood?"

Qin Xueji stared blankly at the golden parchment floating in the air.

Handing over the entire Qin Group, even her own Soul, in exchange for her grandfather's life—this was an absolutely insane deal.

But as she looked into Su Yang's eyes, deep as the starry sky, she found herself unable to muster even a hint of resistance.

"I'll sign."

Without hesitation, Qin Xueji bit her index finger and pressed a drop of blood onto the parchment.

With a flash of gold, the contract turned into a stream of light and entered her forehead.

"Very good, you're a smart person."

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction. "Get up. Since you're one of my people now, don't keep kneeling outside. People might think I'm mistreating my employees."

"Support your grandfather and follow me into the courtyard."

Su Yang turned toward the gate, leaving behind a casual remark.

"By the way, I'll let you see what real 'hundred-billion assets' look like."
