Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start
Chapter 508 Invitation

Chapter 508: Chapter 508 Invitation

"In that case, I shall gladly oblige," Xiao Zhan said.

Then he walked over with Ye Youlong.

Hose and the others stayed behind, Xiao Zhan wasn’t worried about his security, with so many eyes watching, they dared not make a move.

Of course, if they truly were to make a move, without Hose and the others, it would be even more convenient for the two of them without any need for reservations.

However, just after taking a few steps, Chernokov said, "General Xiao, such a joyous occasion should be shared with more people, you should invite your friends to join."

"They are not friends."

"I know, but General Xiao, you must have friends, right? I saw there seems to be a beautiful lady always accompanying you."

It’s an open secret, everyone knows it.

Xiao Zhan immediately knew that this guy was targeting Liu Xin.

Was it because he saw Liu Xin was beautiful and wanted to make a contract with her, or was it for some other purpose?

Xiao Zhan chose not to expose him but smiled and said, "She is indeed my friend, it’s just too late now, and she has a bad temper; I’m afraid of disturbing her. However, since General Chernokov has extended an invitation, then I can convey your enthusiastic invitation."

Then, he sent someone to call Liu Xin over.

Soon, Liu Xin arrived.

"What’s the matter?" she asked in a low voice by Xiao Zhan’s side.

"They took a fancy to you, wanting to pursue you as a wife."

"A wife? Bah, a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken, never a good intent, they must be after my value. I see now, probably because they saw us picking Spirit Fruits, and none were damaged, so they want me to work as a laborer for them."

"You’re quite clever," Xiao Zhan said with a smile in praise.

In the time just now when he informed Liu Xin, he also thought of this.

The Northern Bear Federation and Longxia Federation had no friendly relations, mining resources in the same Secret Realm, mutual wariness is essential; how could they choose to invite warmly and foster good relationships?

The subsequent intention targeting Liu Xin, while Liu Xin is indeed beautiful, it still wasn’t enough for a general to personally invite her, breaking this type of relationship.

Obviously, they were after Liu Xin’s abilities.

Thus, with a bit of contemplation, he figured out the real intentions of the other party.

"Seeing you figured it out, why call me over at all, unless you really do want me to work for them?" Liu Xin said discontentedly.

Xiao Zhan gave her a subtle smile and nodded, "Yep, you’re right, I indeed had that thought."

"Damn, am I Lu Bu here to serve as a thrice-consigned fucking servant?" Liu Xin exploded.

Following Xiao Zhan and Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong didn’t even finish, now to follow a foreigner?

I’m not even your woman, how can you order me around like this?

If I were your woman, then that’s another matter. But I’m not, so why should I listen to you?

"I’m not going."

"Two hundred pounds of Breathing Soil."

"Don’t mention two hundred pounds, even a thousand pounds won’t make me go!" This time Liu Xin was genuinely a bit angry.

Helping Zhu Rong, she can claim it was for the country, but helping a foreigner? That really crosses a line.

Xiao Zhan noticed her resolute attitude and said, "The two hundred pounds is your performance fee, not for you to really agree to them, just to play along in a performance."

"A performance?"

"Yes," Xiao Zhan nodded. "Don’t forget the Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit is in their territory, go along with it, see what their actual purpose is. If possible, we will counter their plans and trick the Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit into our hands."

Liu Xin understood.

It turned out to be a performance, not Xiao Zhan’s true intentions.

"Just to be clear, this is only a performance, I’m definitely not helping them."

"Don’t worry, I wouldn’t agree even if you wanted to help them. Helping them would be like making bullets to shoot at us," Xiao Zhan said.

"Humph, that’s more like it."

Liu Xin agreed to Xiao Zhan’s conditions.

After that, the three of them walked towards the camp of the Northern Bear Federation.

People of the Northern Bear Federation were currently celebrating their own festival enthusiastically, completely without a proper alert posture, either due to their military style or simply because they felt nothing would happen.

Xiao Zhan and the others were invited into the largest room.

This room was almost entirely filled with the stationed high-level generals. Xiao Zhan quietly scanned over these people with his Perception, imprinting their strengths in his mind.

Chernokov led Xiao Zhan to the highest seat, where no one was sitting, with just the three spots apparently reserved specially for Xiao Zhan and his group.

This intention became even more obvious.

A thought struck Xiao Zhan’s mind; such obvious traces, and Chernokov still dared to invite him, it seemed he had complete trust in him.

"Today is the Winter Festival of the Northern Bear Federation, the warmth of all underlies within the wine, let us raise a glass to celebrate. Also, a warm welcome to General Xiao, his wife, and friends, to share this joy together."

After Chernokov took the main seat, he directly raised his glass for a toast.

The crowd responded in kind, each lifting their glasses and then downing them in one go.

Liu Xin glanced at the drink in her hand, then subtly nodded to Xiao Zhan, indicating the drink was safe.

The talent of the Insight Eye is strong, able to see through the data of any target body.

Subsequently, Xiao Zhan and his companions also raised their glasses to their lips and drank down in one gulp.

"General Xiao drinks boldly, such a generous way of drinking, I have not seen, among people I know from Longxia Federation, anyone like you—truly a heroic youth. I salute you with a full cup."

Chernokov personally topped up Xiao Zhan’s drink.

A full large cup.

"Thanks to General Chernokov’s hospitality, I’m honored to participate in the Winter Festival today and share this wonderful time with everyone. This cup, I drink to you and all present," Xiao Zhan raised his glass and said to everyone.

After speaking, he downed his drink in one go.

"General Xiao is polite, such a festival naturally calls for more people to celebrate," Chernokov also raised his glass and drank it down.

The others also raised their glasses and then followed suit.

After drinking, Chernokov didn’t personally pour drinks but had someone next to him responsible for it.

After all, his status was equal to Xiao Zhan’s; to continue pouring drinks for him would diminish his own status.

Then, as if Chernokov had no ulterior motives, he chatted with Xiao Zhan while drinking with him.

The conversation topics were all insignificant, as if it truly was just a regular invitation.

But Xiao Zhan knew the main topic hadn’t started yet.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before, when everyone seemed a bit tipsy, Chernokov spoke up.

"General Xiao, not to hide from you, today we actually have another matter to discuss with you."

"General Chernokov, feel free to speak," Xiao Zhan had been waiting for this moment, he even thought Chernokov was too shy to say it.
