Chapter 220

"Wuzi, you have a way to kill Niuda, that traitorous beast, and still keep us from being retaliated against by the Third Miss?"

Hu Jiushisan could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart, and he spoke, unable to wait.

Ever since, because of Niuda, its exclusive business was leaked and taken by Hu Rui.

How could it possibly have no thoughts in its heart?

In just a few days of business, it earned the low-grade spirit stones that it couldn't earn in a year.

It still hoped that relying on this business it would skyrocket, becoming the wealthiest fox demon of the entire Nine-headed Mountain Fox Clan, and rise to the rank of Supreme Demon.

Its endless regret in its heart is not regret that, having just made money, it lost its senses and dared to bully Niuda without scruple—it is true that it bullied Niuda without scruple—but it at least left some benefits for Niuda.

One day's harvest is the low-grade spirit stones that it couldn't earn in a month, or even several months.

It never expected that Niuda would actually betray it.

If only I had known…

Back then, it should have been a little more ruthless, directly killing Niuda that beast; its cultivation was inferior to Niuda's, and its combat ability compared to Niuda's was worlds apart, but it had money, and could spend money to buy Niuda's life.

But it clung to old feelings, which led to today's great disaster!

In its heart it dared not hold even a grudge against Hu Rui—who let Hu Rui's status and background be something it could not provoke—moreover it bore no resentment, yet in its fawning without limits, Wang Ping'an actually abandoned it as a partner.

It defected to Hu Rui's side!

Of course.

It is not that it doesn't hate; to say it has no feelings toward Wang Ping'an in its heart is impossible, but it still hopes that there will be another chance to do business with Wang Ping'an, although it knows that chance will surely be slim.

But this is a business that could let it rise above others; even if the chance is only one in a thousand—no, even if it's one in ten thousand—it still wants to give it a try.

And how could it dare to have an opinion about Wang Ping'an?

It could only pour all its resentment onto Niuda; every time in its dreams, it would dream of chopping Niuda into thousands of pieces to vent its hatred.

But it knows it is no match for Niuda, and Niuda has Hu Rui backing it; if it truly dared to seek revenge on Niuda, the only one to suffer would be itself.

It can only bury its resentment toward Niuda deep in its heart!

"Brother Hu, think about it—how did that beast manage to cozy up to the Third Miss's thigh?"

Zhu wu let out a cold snort, a flash of icy killing intent flickering in the depths of his eyes.

It actually hoped that Hu Jiushisan and Niuda would come into conflict and clash.

That way, it could seize more benefits for itself, rather than having its benefits plundered jointly by Hu Jiushisan and Niuda.

However.

It knows Hu Jiushisan is no good, does nothing, yet shares Hu Jiushisan's profits for nothing, and Hu Jiushisan surely has something in mind.

Perhaps the previous few times he wouldn't say anything, in order to stabilize things with it and Niuda, but once Hu Jiushisan could stand firm, he would surely kick it and Niuda out of the business.

He wouldn't let them get a free ride!

Only then did it realize that engaging in reverse trade, although arduous, yields greater profit and would not result in being kicked out of the business by Hu Jiushisan.

It never would have imagined…

Before it even had a chance to start making big money, Niuda that beast leaked the business to Hu Rui, who, with her status, snatched away this line of trade.

How could there possibly be another chance for it to engage in reverse trade thereafter?

How could it not resent Niuda, the culprit that ruined its chance to make big money before it even began, leaving it shattered? Even Hu Rui and even Hu Jiushisan, it harbors some resentment in its heart.

Hu Rui deprived it of the chance to make money, and Hu Jiushisan, this good-for-nothing, can't even hold onto a profitable business!

How could that beast still manage to cozy up to the Third Miss? It's not anything else but leaking our money‑making business to the Third Miss, which let that beast cozy up to her!

Hu Jiushisan said strangely: "Five, you couldn't be thinking that if we ruin the Third Miss and the Paper Daoist's business, we'd have a chance to take revenge on that beast, could you?"

If we ruin the Third Miss and the Paper Daoist's business, the Third Miss will be the first not to let us off!

Zhu wu let out a cold snort; they're not brainless—how could they possibly think up such a thankless, labor‑intensive scheme? Seeing Hu Jiushisan's puzzled face.

Obviously, they hadn't guessed what solution it was trying to suggest!

They doubted whether Hu Jiushisan had been addled by anger—normally unusually sharp, how could Hu Jiushisan suddenly become so dense?

Zhu wu reminded: "Brother Hu, if we let the Third Miss know that the beast has designs on this business, don't you think she'd object to the beast?"

I thought it was some great plan, and that's it?

Hu Jiushisan chuckled: "Although I'd love to hack that beast to pieces, I know it's not a stupid monster; it knows this business belongs to the Third Miss, and even if it had the courage of a bear and a leopard, it wouldn't dare have designs on this business!"

We don't need to actually make the beast interested in this business; we just need to let the Third Miss know that the beast is interested in it!

You have reached this point in the novel.

Zhu wu's face was full of a cold, sinister smile as they said: "Besides, Brother Hu, you're wrong—though the beast is clever, it's only petty cleverness; if we let the beast repeatedly see this business raking in big money, how could it possibly have no interest?"

What you mean…

Hu Jiushisan's eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother Hu, that's what I mean—I think you should understand!"

Zhu wu gave a hehe laugh, like a successful weasel that stole a chicken, and said: "But for this period, we'll have to wrong you, Brother Hu—let you swallow your anger, cozy up to that beast, provoke it, and let it know that doing business secretly with the Paper Daoist won't let the Third Miss find out!"

Hu Jiushisan took a deep breath and said indifferently: "I'd love to hack that beast to pieces, but as long as I get what I want, let alone swallowing my anger, even sharing a bed with that beast would be no problem!"

Zhu wu laughed embarrassedly, gave Hu Jiushisan a strange glance, not knowing whether it was an offhand remark or a special preference, and hastily corrected: "Brother Hu, for the sake of that beast, it's not worth making you sacrifice so much!"

As long as…

Hu Jiushisan was about to speak when suddenly the sound of a carriage driving reached their ears; turning their head, they saw a fierce wolf sturdier than a horse pulling a luxurious carriage—none other than Hu Rui's conveyance.

Zhu wu hurriedly gave Hu Jiushisan a meaningful glance!

Hu Jiushisan stepped forward to greet: "Third Miss, you've come!"

"I heard from Niuda that the Paper Daoist has arrived!"

Hu Rui lifted the window curtain, glanced playfully at Hu Jiushisan outside the carriage, and smiled: "This time I've snatched your business—don't you have any complaints?"

Complaints?

Hu Jiushisan not only harbored resentment, he even felt like killing, but how could he dare say such a thing in front of Hu Rui? He said solemnly:

"This line of business is not something I'm qualified to get involved in; only Third Miss, you are the most suitable. How could I possibly have any objections?"
