Chapter 881: Chapter 879 Greedy Worm Chapter 881: Chapter 879 Greedy Worm “You…”
Lady Cecilia, fully satisfied, walked away directly after apologizing.
As Tan Ying watched her figure disappear around the corner, her first reaction was to turn back and stare at Fu Qian, her face full of suspicion.
This weekend was a bit too colorful!
“What’s wrong?”
Fu Qian looked at her with a puzzled expression.
“Now, even if you suddenly told me you were actually an alien, I wouldn’t be too surprised…”
Tan Ying didn’t know what expression to make and after a long while, she shook her head and spoke.
The more she interacted with Young Master Qin, her close friend, the more mysterious he seemed.
“How do you know that Lady Cecilia?”
“Didn’t I tell you? A client.”
There was no need to hide anything, and Fu Qian honestly introduced a certain website and his reputation as the “Razor” once again.
“Really, it’s a vast world with all sorts of wonders…”
Tan Ying, who came from a wealthy family and had never been exposed to these dark corners during her upbringing, listened with widened pupils and incessant exclamation.
“But Lady Cecilia’s mental state seems quite concerning. Getting rid of such an obsession won’t be easy!”
“A normal person wouldn’t wander in those places for no reason.”
Fu Qian nodded, agreeing with her opinion, and didn’t mind the sharp critique directed at himself.
“All she wanted was to find some special cases to complicate things for those ‘behind the scenes’, after all, overly extreme weirdos are hard to find actors for.”
“A kind of helpless rebellion, I suppose.”
Tan Ying sighed, seeming to understand that desperation; the fear she felt just moments ago had largely turned into sympathy.
“Have you really thought this through? Although obviously wealthy and noble, this Lady Cecilia’s mental state seems a bit dangerous. Are you sure you want to keep dealing with her?”
Still, she reminded Fu Qian, seemingly well-aware of how quickly the rich could change their moods.
“Thanks for the reminder, but don’t worry, I’m quite dangerous myself.”
However, Fu Qian expressed his gratitude, yet he didn’t seem concerned at all.
“You often encounter such clients?”
Tan Ying couldn’t help but sigh at his seamless self-deprecation.
They originally held little hope that she could persuade Fu Qian, and she swiftly changed her question.
“About four times a week.”
Recalling the demons and monsters in past missions, Fu Qian spoke while examining the business card in his hand.
It was elegantly designed, simple in content, and its color scheme matched its owner’s attire; it even seemed to carry a scent.
Cecilia Gatesby.
That surname sounded wealthy.
This was Fu Qian’s first reaction.
“Your job really isn’t easy!”
By now, Tan Ying found herself at a loss for words.
“It’s alright, interest is the greatest motivation.”
While chatting, Fu Qian walked over to another counter and signaled to the staff to make two juices, also greeting the bald shop owner who had been watching them.
The latter clearly understood the situation. He felt very honored that the master had greeted him, and he responded with a big smile, but he had no intention of coming over and interrupting.
In his view, the scene before him was clearly a decisive battle in a Shura field.
Even if it were the aftermath of a battle, it shouldn’t be disturbed lightly.
“Anyway, you’ve worked hard today.”
Fu Qian didn’t care about the man’s thoughts; he took the juice and handed one to Tan Ying.
“If you hadn’t volunteered, I was planning to send her away after finishing my coffee.”
“So you’re just admitting it…”
This guy really was deliberately not reminding her, so she would feel guilty about her slip of the tongue and be duped into doing grunt work!
At that moment, Tan Ying was so annoyed that she completely forgot about her previous emotional moment.
“Ah… I thought you liked these kinds of places and was thinking that it would kill two birds with one stone.”
Fu Qian’s expression of surprise looked so natural.
“Which eye of yours saw me liking it?”
Tan Ying sulkily took the juice, given her already timid nature, these couple of experiences had been a bit too stimulating.
“Last time, you said it yourself.”
…
Faced with Fu Qian’s reminder, Tan Ying found it difficult to refute.
After all, she had indeed said that herself, and the purpose was not something she could easily explain to others.
In desperation, she turned her sadness into appetite and took a big sip of the juice.
It was cool, sour, and sweet. The feeling was pretty good.
Overall, Tan Ying was still a broad-minded good young person. Although she was a bit resentful about being forced into labor, she didn’t hold a grudge.
After chatting for a while, she soon expressed her desire to go back to rest, and before leaving, she looked resolutely at the entrance to the haunted house.
No matter what, she would definitely not come back.
…
Watching Tan Ying leave, Fu Qian was very satisfied with today’s gain.
The visit by Lady Cecilia made him have more fantasies about this world he had lived in for twenty years.
The ideal situation now would be to find some traces left by previous people through her, or at least procure some items like mirror bracelets to search for clues.
Lady Cecilia seemed to have considerable family assets, so a little collecting mania seemed normal, right?
Putting away the business card with its contents noted down, Fu Qian looked around and found the direction to the supermarket then walked over.
Being formally hired as a consultant by a wealthy lady, his career planning mentioned to Young Master Qin, was a historically significant step.
Under the current situation, with an anomaly like Lady Cecilia coming to him, and a probe like the bracelet being set out, it wouldn’t hurt to watch and see how things unfold.
As for himself, given that the fridge was now empty, it was time to stock up on some groceries.
…
[Identity verification completed, work for the day begins]
After shopping, Fu Qian quickly returned home and refilled the fridge.
Seeing it was still early, he immediately activated the mark on his wrist.
Soon, with a prompt sound, the warehouse appeared before him.
If Brother Ji Feng were truly a predecessor of the warehouse, he should have left some traces during his activities.
So theoretically, he could certainly multitask and go have a chat with Chief Yuan.
[Warning, leak incident]
Considering this was the last task of the week, the warehouse seemed not to be planning on giving him a day off.
Predicting this, Fu Qian, however, didn’t plan to exercise his Re-Assignment authority.
Interest was the best motivation, the words he had just said to Tan Ying weren’t just insincere blabber.
And patience is key–often, haste does not bring success.

[Consume 1 SAN Point to start?]
Amid the constantly sounding prompts, Fu Qian noticed that in the warehouse, an ethereal mist had gathered into a lump.
A level 3 item? Was the last draw of the week a leisure game?
With hopeful expectations for life, Fu Qian studied the pattern that seemed to be wriggling.
It was very vague, but at a glance, it really looked like a worm and was extremely long.
[Yes]
Without hesitation, he answered with his mind the next moment.
