Ata screamed in anger, "You shameless, you despicable, you...you..."
After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to say, "You know it's three, so you're three."
Qi An was speechless: "..." What the hell is this about knowing someone is a third party?
"Shut up, you little idiot!"
Ata shut her mouth, looking aggrieved, and stared at Qi An with mournful eyes, as if she had caught her husband cheating on her with a mistress.
Qi An thought to herself that she really needed a helper.
Atalanta can guide those who wish to find them and can also travel back in time, but they cannot perform quests alone.
If she travels to different planes all by herself, when will she be able to gather enough soul power to return to her peak?
Qiongqi is very suitable because... she is poor.
As a capitalist, Boss Qi knew long ago which people were reliable and easy to control.
-- A poor person whose spirit is even poorer than his physical appearance.
Those who constantly talk about quitting but have perfect attendance every month, and end up dying from overwork due to the 996 work schedule, are the best proof of this.
Qi An felt that he was much kinder than the capitalists in Xu Xiaoxiao's world.
Qiongqi is more useful. She is poor, but she is not human. Ferocious beasts don't die suddenly; she only makes others die.
Qi An thought to himself, "She's the one."
What I have in abundance is money and bread.
Qi An made up his mind, but he didn't show it on his face. He began to subtly investigate Qiongqi's background.
"Tell me first, how did you get here, and why are you possessing Miss Ye Zhen of the Tianxuan Sect?"
Having made up his mind to curry favor with a powerful patron, Fugui, in response to the patron's inquiry, began his interview with a docile demeanor and a pleasant attitude.
"Sister An'an, this is what happened. One day, I was begging—I mean, making money—when I accidentally heard a crying sound. It was so pitiful..."
Qi An: "..." What the heck is Sister An'an?
Ata: Sister An'an? Ugh... Disgusting, cunning, who gave you permission to call her so affectionately?
Through Fu Gui's narration, the two gradually understood the plot development after Ye Ran's death.
Ye Ran was thrown into the alchemy furnace by Ling Haoran. After being burned by the raging flames for forty-nine days, her flesh and blood turned into the Heavenly Yin Pill.
No one knew that she had stayed in the Tianxuan Sect for twelve years, and finally died quietly on the territory of the Tianxuan Sect.
Ling Haoran drained Ye Ran's cultivation, stole her luck and opportunities, and replaced her as the chosen one of this world.
A year later, he married Ye Zhen, the only granddaughter of the former sect leader of the Tianxuan Sect.
A few years later, the old sect leader went on a journey and accidentally fell into a deadly place. Ling Haoran succeeded him as the new sect leader and became the master of Tianxuan Sect, the number one cultivation sect on Cangyue Continent.
Then, his true nature began to be revealed.
He saw himself as a male-oriented overpowered protagonist, and started a harem novel in this cultivation world.
Saintesses, witches, enchantresses, mortal princesses, married young women...
Regardless of whether they are good or bad, fragrant or foul, as long as they are beautiful, they will accept them all.
He also used deception, coaxing, and seduction to rape, harming many innocent women.
The Heavenly Profound Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect. From the day it was founded, it has taken it upon itself to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. It is a sacred place in the hearts of cultivators on the Liyue Continent.
However, Ling Haoran openly mingled with evil cults and demonic sects, and his various lewd and depraved behaviors made Tianxuan Sect a laughing stock of the world.
Many people who disliked him wanted to get rid of him, but he was incredibly lucky and had many opportunities, always managing to escape danger and even turn the tables on others.
Ye Zhen had liked him since childhood, but after marrying him, she was tormented and suffered so much that she felt like she was dying.
He had far too many women, and Ye Zhen, as his lawfully wedded first wife, was a thorn in the side of the other women.
How could someone as innocent and kind as her be a match for those women?
Amidst a constant barrage of schemes to win favor, she endured pregnancy, miscarriage, disfigurement, loss of her innocence and spiritual cultivation, ultimately becoming a cripple.
Meanwhile, she inadvertently learned that it was Ling Haoran who had orchestrated her grandfather's tragic demise.
Those who cultivate immortality have long lifespans, and he couldn't wait to take the position of sect leader, so he took advantage of the old sect leader's trust to lead him to his death.
But by then, Ye Zhen was already a cripple, so how could she possibly seek revenge?
Instead, Ling Haoran imprisoned him under the pretext of madness.
He lived a muddled, zombie-like existence for decades before being pierced through the chest by Ling Haoran's sword, becoming a stepping stone for Ling Haoran's ascension to immortality.
After Ye Zhen died, her soul lingered for a long time.
After Ling Haoran ascended to immortality, she watched as the Tianxuan Sect, founded by her grandfather, degenerated into a third-rate, worthless sect, and her home was turned into a mess by a group of women.
Eventually, it was swallowed up by other sects and disappeared from the Liyue Continent.
She hated it so much, but there was nothing she could do but cry out loud.
She cried for an unknown amount of time, until her soul was almost dissipating, which finally attracted a ferocious beast.
"Please help me get revenge. I'm willing to pay any price."
"Do you have money?" Fugui asked seriously.
Ye Zhen: "...Yes, although the Tianxuan Sect is gone, my grandfather left me a dowry when I was young, and I didn't tell anyone."
"Okay, I'll take the job."
Fu Gui thought it would take a lot of effort to find that person and take revenge, but unexpectedly he ran into Qi An accepting Ye Ran's prayer, and Ata activated time reversal again.
So, when she opened her eyes, she had become nine-year-old Ye Zhen. The Tianxuan Sect was still around and was incredibly wealthy.
Fu Gui originally wanted to find that scumbag and swallow him whole, but was told that he had gone down the mountain to travel.
So, Fugui settled down to be a wealthy young lady and waited for the scumbag to return from his travels.
Fu Gui, who was used to being poor, suddenly became rich. He was adorned with jewels and wore gold bracelets. He could eat one pork knuckle and throw away two others. He no longer had to work hard from dawn till dusk to make money.
Ah, it must be so great to be rich!
Qi Anxin understood. When Qiongqi woke up in Ye Zhen's body, Ling Haoran happened to be in the small, dilapidated village looking for Ye Ran, thus escaping a disaster.
Otherwise, that scoundrel would already be digested inside Qiongqi's belly, and the mission would have ended before it even began.
No, that's not right, I forgot about that system.
According to her speculation, the system could take Ling Haoran to travel between different planes, use the prophet to deprive the protagonist of his luck, and finally replace the protagonist as the chosen one.
If Fugui were to devour him whole, only the real Ling Haoran would die.
After hearing what happened next, Ata cursed, "Damn it, this guy is disgusting, worse than any scumbag my boss and I have ever met."
Qi An glanced at Fu Gui, and when his gaze fell on the antique ring on her hand, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
She held out her hand: "Give me the dowry money."
Fu Gui cautiously clutched the ring, inwardly groaning: "Damn it, how did I reveal all the secrets of my dowry?"
Qi An smiled like a wolf in sheep's clothing:
"Poor wretch... cough cough, it's expensive. If you want to work for me, you have to pay a deposit, which will be refunded to you once you achieve excellent performance and become a full-time employee."
Otherwise, how can I believe you genuinely want to work for me, and not have ulterior motives?
Fu Gui didn't believe it and asked Ata, "Did you pay too?"
Ata pulled out his pockets, which were cleaner than his face, and proudly said:
"I've given all my spiritual power to my eldest sister. She said that children shouldn't have too much spiritual power, or they'll be easily deceived. She'll give it to me when I need it."
I don't need money; my boss will buy me whatever I want to eat.
Looking at Ata's plump and healthy little body, Fugui believed half of it.
Qi An pressed on: "Besides, don't you know your own constitution? The money is in your hands, but can you keep it? You might as well leave it with me, and just ask me for it when you need it."
Fu Gui clutched his heart. These words were painful, but they were indeed true.
She was destined to be poor; when she occasionally received a windfall, she would either lose it or be swindled away, never truly enjoying it.
She glanced at Qi An again and thought to herself, "Surely such a wealthy tycoon wouldn't lie to someone like me."
So, Fugui reluctantly took off the Sumeru Ring and handed it to Qi An.
