Chapter 304

~5 min read 880 words

Yingmeihe Sect gave Paimon a thumbs-up.

"Not bad, Paimon—I didn't expect you'd think this through so carefully."

Ying didn't suspect Paimon had any ulterior motives.

She merely assumed Paimon was sincerely considering her best interests.

Thinking this way, had she been too unfriendly to Paimon before?

Paimon had only occasionally teased her about her relationship with Boss Han.

Hmm,

then next time she ruffled Paimon's cheeks, she'd be gentler.

"Of course!"

Seeing Yingmeihe Sect's praise, Paimon floated upward.

She'd racked her brains to come up with this plan so it could be carried out.

Now she'd won over Ying, but she didn't know if Boss Han would agree.

Thinking of this, Paimon glanced over at the man.

Seeing Boss Han watching her with a knowing smirk, her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Boss Han wouldn't agree?

If she failed here, she'd be utterly screwed.

Thinking of this, Paimon lost her appetite,

flew behind Han Feng, and began massaging his shoulders with a pleading expression.

"Hehe, Boss Han, what do you think~?"

"Spill it—what are you up to?"

Han Feng said irritably.

If Yingmeihe Sect had brought it up, it wouldn't be strange—but coming from this little brat, he felt something was off.

There must be a "scheme" here.

Paimon didn't hide it—this was the perfect moment to negotiate with Boss Han.

She stole a glance at Ying and saw she was eating, not looking this way,

then whispered her idea aloud.

After hearing it, Han Feng was stunned.

To see more comics, to use the Gourmet Tablecloth and eat delicious food.

To get this chance of free room and board, you're going to sell off Yingmeihe Sect?!

And Paimon isn't even the first to come up with this method.

Xiao Ke'li had said the same thing before.

Tsk tsk—Han Feng hadn't expected his comic shop to have such incredible appeal.

Learned something new.

"Hehe, Boss Han, what do you think? I think Ying is really great! So cute and adorable!"

Paimon enthusiastically recommended.

Though she sounded like she was ready to sell off Yingmeihe Sect,

she'd noticed Yingmeihe Sect had feelings for Boss Han, and that Boss Han himself was extremely powerful.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done this.

"Fifty thousand Mora per month for rent; as for the rest…"

"I get it, I get it! Don't worry, Boss Han, leave it to me."

Paimon nodded with an understanding smile.

She immediately told Yingmeihe Sect the "good news."

"Only fifty thousand Mora? Thank you so much, Boss Han."

Hearing the price, Yingmeihe Sect looked deeply grateful.

It was still a bit expensive, but much cheaper than she'd expected.

"No problem—it's all thanks to Paimon."

Han Feng waved it off dismissively.

In truth, the money didn't matter to him at all.

What mattered most was gaining two more steady customers every day.

This directly affected how often he could draw comics and the system rewards.

He'd set the price at fifty thousand Mora because he found Paimon's plan interesting.

He wanted to see how things would unfold.

He wondered what expression Yingmeihe Sect would wear when she discovered she had a "spy" beside her.

"Thank you so much, Paimon!"

Yingmeihe Sect smiled.

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Paimon felt a little embarrassed.

This feeling—selling someone out, yet being thanked by them—was just… amazing!

After settling this, Yingmeihe Sect and Paimon left.

They needed to retrieve their belongings from the Mondstadt inn.

As for Noel, seeing a familiar face checking in—even if the manner of staying was a bit different—

she still enthusiastically went upstairs to help them tidy up their room.

Han Feng, meanwhile, continued waiting here for new guests to arrive.

Quiet Zone.

"Phew! Finally finished reading it!"

Closing the comic, Lady Keqing let out a long breath.

The experience of reading the comic had been simply too torturous for her.

It wasn't that *Tom and Jerry* wasn't good.

On the contrary, the content was wonderfully exciting, and very funny.

Lady Keqing had never read such an entertaining book.

But the problem lay precisely here.

Precisely because there was so much funny content, Lady Keqing couldn't help wanting to laugh when she saw it.

But now the Quiet Zone wasn't hers alone—

there were quite a few customers present.

Especially since the regular Miss Xiangling was there.

She didn't want to relive that awkward scene from earlier.

Otherwise her image would completely collapse.

So while reading the comic she had endured it very painfully.

Covering her mouth and saying nothing, her face kept twitching from holding back laughter.

It really was too hard!

Fortunately, she had finally finished reading it.

If it had gone on any longer, Lady Keqing felt she might not have been able to hold out.

"Miss Xiangling, Miss Eula, I'll go on ahead to collect my reward from Boss Han."

After saying a word to the two of them, Lady Keqing rose and left, heading toward the counter.

"What reward do you think Lady Keqing will get?"

Watching Lady Keqing's departing back, Eula asked curiously.

"I don't know, I haven't read that comic, but the title is *Tom and Jerry*, so I suppose it probably has something to do with cats?"

Miss Xiangling rested her chin on her hand and pondered.

"Cats?"
