Chapter 9 - 09. Zhou Meili

As he approached the desk the receptionist didn't even bother to look up and just spoke in a bored, monotone voice.

"Welcome, and what can I help you with today?"

Seeing this attitude, Fang Yang wasn't bothered and simply replied.

"I have come to hand in a mission I took a year ago. The mission was to investigate the area beyond our sect for ghost lands and Yin Spirit veins suitable for raising corpses and ghosts."

As Fang Yang spoke he pulled out a notebook from his space pouch containing the notes he took over the previous year and placed it on the desk.

But as the Receptionist heard Fang Yang's mission description, she didn't even pay attention to the notebooks and suddenly looked up at Fang Yang with a flushed face.

"Brother Fang, is it really you?"

"Eh? Senior Sister Zhou?"

Looking at the beautiful receptionist in front of him, Fang Yang could already feel a headache brewing.

Fang Yang knew from his memories that Normally the relationship between this body and Zhou Meili was normally very cordial but there was just one problem.

This little lady desperately wanted to take in the previous owner as a gigolo.

The previous Fang Yang could be said to be a total waste, only reaching the 2nd Level of Qi refinement after nearly 7 years of practice. But if there was one thing he had going for him and it was that his face was truly top-notch.

Pitch black eyes and a terrifyingly handsome face that was exquisitely carved with sharp features. This when coupled with his faintly prideful aura and ruthless and vicious temperament, it wouldn't be strange if he managed to charm a few girls.

But with the prideful and ruthless nature of the previous owner, how could he accept being a concubine?

No matter what method Zhou Meili used to try and convince Fang Yang, she would be ruthlessly shut down every time.

But pride wasn't even the major reason that Fang Yang refused.

After all, with such a rich beauty practically throwing herself into Fang Yang's arms, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted, but he still knew better.

For this Senior Sister to be working in the mission hall so comfortably could only mean that she had some strong connections in the inner sect. She could even be a descendant of one of the famous peaks within the sect.

With Fang Yang's meagre strength and talent, if he got involved with these major families, although he would be supported financially, his life as a son-in-law would only be tragic.

He would be a complete dog on a leash that couldn't say a word even if he wanted to.

By then if this Senior Sister Meili lost interest in him and suddenly wanted to take on a few more concubines, it would be too late to regret even if he coughed blood!

Although Fang Yang still believed he would live a better life than his predecessor, he still wanted to avoid the minefield that was the Major Families.

Taking a step back, Fang Yang showed an exhausted smile as he showed the notebook once again

"Senior Sister Zhou, I just came to hand in my mission today. I really can't afford to discuss things with you today."

But when faced with Fang Yang's rejection, Senior sister Meili didn't take it to heart leaning even closer towards Fang Yang

"Junior Brother Fang, The offer I mentioned is still on the table. I promise that no matter what happens you won't be wronged."

Faced with the same sentence he heard countless times in his memories, Fang Yang wanted to back off, but just as he was about to take a step back, he suddenly froze

A man can never go against the will heavens

If possible, Fang Yang wanted to stand on his own two feet and be a strong independent man but heaven just wouldn't allow it!

Fang Yang was now facing a problem that could very well determine his life and death.

Poverty! Too much poverty!

As it was, Fang Yang was already knee-deep in a crippling debt he couldn't possibly hope to repay.

If he couldn't pay this debt back fast, then it would only be a matter of time before his head was sent flying!

There was an opportunity right in front of him to pay off his debt right in front of him.

The only problem was that it came with a little price and for poor Fang Yang it seemed like that price would be his innocence!

Senior Sister Zhou was particularly attentive, and noticing the change in Fang Yang's attitude which was drastically different from before, only caused her to get bolder!

Leaning over the table and placing her hand on Fang Yang's shoulder, her hands gradually began to wander as her face grew redder and redder.

Realising what was happening Fang Yang's face quickly turned ugly

Damn! This girl is trying to take advantage of me!

But no matter how displeased Fang Yang was, he could only accept it. He still needed the connections and the wealth of this rich Senior Sister to bail him out.

Just as Fang Yang made up his mind to agree to this Senior Sister to snatch a few benefits he saw something that made his heart stop

Fang Yang saw the right eyeball of Zhou Meili stir unnaturally as she leaned over before it finally rolled out of her eye socket falling onto the ground right on Fang Yang's foot!

Zhou Meili: "..."

Fang Yang: ?????!!

Seeing the stunned look on Fang Yang's face.

Zhou Meili couldn't help but blush bright red out of shame.

"Pardon me."

After Zhou Meili shyly muttered that sentence, Fang Yang only managed to see a black blur before the eyeball at his feet disappeared.

Seeing this sight Fang yang was just left speechless.

'Pardon me?? Lady, Don't just say pardon me and gloss over it lightly like it was a burp or something! Your eyeball literally fell out of your eye socket!'

Remembering the scene caused chills to run down his spine.
