Qi An took the ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Top-grade spirit stones were piled up like a small mountain, rare and precious materials were scattered everywhere, along with cultivation techniques and spiritual artifacts...
Qi An clicked his tongue in amazement. The old sect leader truly doted on this granddaughter; this dowry alone could have rebuilt a small sect.
Fortunately, the ring was disguised and looked quite ordinary, which is why it wasn't snatched away by Ling Haoran and those women in my previous life.
Qi An chuckled inwardly; this poor wretch was not only poor, but also didn't know what he was missing.
I've struck gold!
She is very rich, but all her wealth is in the distant world of the moon, which is not enough to quench her immediate thirst. She is only slightly better off than a poor person.
Qi An rearranged the ring, put it on his finger, and nodded to Fu Gui with a reserved expression:
"It's acceptable. I have received your sincerity. From now on, you will work for me. I will not treat you unfairly."
Qi An waved his small hand and added:
"As long as you work hard, I guarantee you will get a promotion and a raise, and you will reach the pinnacle of your life in no time. In the future, those who look down on you will have to bow down and respectfully call you 'President Fu' when they see you."
As Fugui listened to the rosy picture painted by his boss, he became as excited as if he had been injected with adrenaline, nodding repeatedly.
"Okay, Sister An'an, just let me know if you need anything. I can do anything."
Qi An smiled and said, "For the sake of the Sumeru Ring, I'll just say 'Sister An'."
She turned to Ata and said, "Ata, give him a brief explanation of our job duties."
Ata pouted so much his lips could hang an oil bottle, and muttered, "What Ata? I'm not Ata, I'm the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world."
Qi An glared at him, and Ata reluctantly told Fu Gui how they found those who made wishes, then helped them fulfill their wishes and received a reward.
Finally, Ata didn't forget to give Fugui a hard time: "I was the one who followed the boss first, so you need to know the order of arrival and respect your seniors."
Fu Gui nodded perfunctorily, thinking to himself, "What nonsense about first come, first served! I'm going to surpass you!"
However, she is very clever and wealthy, unlike this naive little baby who wears her heart on her sleeve.
"Okay, Ata, you're so lucky. Unlike me, I'm only meeting Sister An'an now. I'm so envious of you."
Ata: "..."
Why do I suddenly smell a fresh scent?
Fu Gui sized up Qi An: "Sister An'an, is this the person who made your prayer this time? Who is her enemy?"
Qi An replied, "Ling Haoran."
Fu Gui clapped his hands: "What a coincidence! We are indeed destined to meet. This is what they mean by 'birds of a feather flock together'."
Ata was so angry that he pulled out a blade of grass. "Damn it, how can this poor bastard be so good at talking?"
He only knows how to make the boss angry. Waaah, if this continues, will the boss stop liking him?
Ata, who always had a good appetite and never took anything to heart, began to feel a sense of crisis.
After learning about the deep-seated hatred between Ye Ran and Ling Haoran, Fugui was eager to fight, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent.
"Sister An'an, how are you going to kill this bastard? Or should I just eat him?"
Qi An suppressed his eager desire for wealth and status:
"No rush, I already have a plan. Let's take it slow. I want him to vomit up everything he ate little by little, and go to hell in regret and fear."
Without asking any questions, Fu Gui immediately clapped and cheered, showering her with compliments: "Sister An'an, you are my goddess."
Qi An smiled: "Not letting you eat him doesn't mean you can't abuse him. That bastard has a cheat code, he won't die that easily. Go ahead and do your thing, just don't kill him."
The two ferocious beasts exchanged a glance, then looked in the direction of Biyun Peak and let out a sinister, snarling laugh.
Ata: ... Ughhhhh, I'm so angry.
In the original book, the old sect leader brought Ye Ran back to the Tianxuan Sect, where she met Ye Zhen.
The two girls, one innocent and naive, the other intelligent and perceptive, quickly became inseparable best friends.
Ye Zhen's talent and cultivation were both average. Whenever the old sect leader scolded her for not living up to his expectations, she would say...
"It's okay, I have Aran. She's capable, isn't she? With Aran and Grandpa around, who would dare to bully me?"
Whenever this happened, Ye Ran would pinch her cheek and say irritably, "Is this your excuse for being lazy? I don't care about you."
Then, Ye Zhen would cling to Ye Ran, showering her with compliments without restraint, and even stuffing Ye Ran's mouth with various snacks she had made while she was fasting.
Although Ye Ran said he wouldn't care about her, he protected her very well and she never suffered the slightest grievance.
However, due to Ling Haoran's interception, Ye Zhen and Ye Ran from their previous lives never met or knew each other until their deaths.
Finally, through a series of unfortunate events, the two of them died tragically at the hands of Ling Haoran, becoming part of his game.
This time, Ye Ran became Ya Zi, and Ye Zhen became Qiong Qi.
The two unexpectedly reunited and turned their vengeful swords against their enemy.
It must be said that fate is truly unpredictable.
Finally, Qi An gave Fu Gui some instructions and then took Ata back to Biyun Peak.
Back at Biyun Peak, Ata was just about to take advantage of Fugui's absence to give him a good dressing down when he saw Qi An turn pale and then vomit a mouthful of blood.
Ata was terrified and, supporting her, stammered, "Boss, boss, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
Qi An wiped away the blood: "It's nothing, just a minor injury, it'll be fine soon."
Qi Laoda (Big Boss Qi) was extremely concerned about his image and was used to showing off. He managed to endure it for so long in front of Fugui before finally snapping after returning home.
Her soul was so badly injured that even if she defeated Qiongqi, it was a Pyrrhic victory.
But she acted too confidently and successfully tricked Fu Gui into bringing her dowry and working for her.
However, there's still a subordinate I need to appease.
Qi An didn't say anything nice to comfort Ata, but simply said, "Only you know about this, remember to keep it a secret."
With just a few words, Ata was brought to tears, and all her unhappiness vanished.
See, Ata is the boss's most trusted person, and he only shares his little secrets with him.
Waaah, he deserves to die! The boss trusted him so much, yet he still suspected that the boss was fickle and wouldn't like him anymore once he got rich.
"Boss, I..."
Ata, with tears in her eyes, wanted to reminisce with Qi An about the hardships of the past and strengthen their relationship.
"Shh, someone's coming, hurry inside," Qi An warned.
Ata obediently disappeared on the spot and returned to Qi An's sea of consciousness.
Ling Haoran walked over with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of refined elegance.
Upon approaching and seeing the blood on the ground, he was horrified and exclaimed:
"Ranran, what's wrong?"
As he was saying this, he reached out to hug Qi An, but Qi An slapped him hard across the face.
Ling Haoran was stunned by the blow, covering his rapidly swelling cheek, his eyes wide open:
"Ranran, why did you hit me?"
Unexpectedly, the little girl in front of him was even more aggrieved than he was, her eyes red as she said:
"My mother said that young girls shouldn't be touched by stinky men. Anyone who tries to kiss or hug me is a pervert. Brother Ling, are you a pervert too?"
