The Triple Win Contract

“Alright, the contract is officially drawn up then. I’ll help you repay your debts, and you’ll help me reincarnate. Should either of us breach this agreement, may the heavens strike us with five bolts of divine lightning!”

Shi Xiangning gleefully signed her name on the prepared contract, not forgetting to press her handprint as well.

Her swift, decisive actions made it seem as though she feared Bai Wanwan might escape.

That was precisely the truth of the matter. For Shi Xiangning, merely assisting Bai Wanwan in settling her debts was enough to secure a chance at reincarnation.

No ghost could possibly refuse such a favorable transaction.

After all, Bai Wanwan’s debts were denominated in human currency. Moreover, Shi Xiangning wouldn’t be the only ghost to shoulder the burden; Bai Wanwan and Liu Hanzhi were also part of the effort.

In Shi Xiangning’s estimation, spirit money remained the most valuable commodity.

Currency that circulated in the underworld was genuinely difficult to acquire!

In stark contrast, mortal realm currency was truly insignificant. A mere three hundred million! She could simply exist as a passive observer, daily ‘shipping’ Liu Hanzhi and Bai Wanwan’s little dramas, and the task might just complete itself.

Furthermore, her own ghost realm had been utterly breached and rendered unusable. Without Bai Wanwan to attach herself to, she would likely become a desolate, wandering ghost.

Thus, accompanying Bai Wanwan was undeniably her optimal choice.

Ultimately, she would indulge in the ‘girl love’ drama, help Bai Wanwan settle her debts, and, as a bonus, secure her own path to reincarnation.

A triple win! It was absolutely a triple win!

“Are you certain?”

Bai Wanwan gazed at Shi Xiangning’s eager, almost desperate expression. Her pen, poised in mid-air, hesitated, refusing to touch the paper.

“Of course! Just sign it quickly!”

Shi Xiangning pressed Bai Wanwan, confident in her own shrewdness. She was determined to have Bai Wanwan sign the contract before the other woman could fully grasp its implications.

Should Bai Wanwan realize the full extent of Shi Xiangning’s ultimate triple-win scenario, the terms of the contract would undoubtedly need renegotiation.

Indeed, to secure Bai Wanwan’s immediate agreement, Shi Xiangning had offered incredibly generous terms within the contract. Truth be told, until Bai Wanwan’s debts were fully settled, Shi Xiangning would essentially be no different from her personal attendant.

Whatever Bai Wanwan commanded, Shi Xiangning would have to obey, much like a young maidservant attending her mistress.

Yet, compared to her triple-win outcome and the invaluable opportunity for reincarnation, these temporary subservient conditions were utterly negligible!

“These terms…”

Bai Wanwan began to speak, then trailed off, her sentence abruptly cut short by Shi Xiangning!

“Alright, alright, I’ll add another clause. Until your debts are cleared, even I, this ghost, will be yours, alright? But let’s be clear, this is my bottom line. If you’re still not satisfied, I truly have nothing else to offer.”

As Shi Xiangning spoke, she added yet another clause to the contract, completely failing to notice the nuanced expression on Bai Wanwan’s face.

In truth, Bai Wanwan felt these terms were overly harsh on Shi Xiangning and had intended to suggest a relaxation of the conditions.

From the bottom of her heart, Bai Wanwan had merely wished for Shi Xiangning to instruct her on the use of the Ghost Hand Golden Needles.

Now, not only did she possess the Ghost Hand Golden Needles, but Shi Xiangning herself was also bound to her.

“Wanwan, what are you still hesitating for? Sign it!”

Liu Hanzhi had been subtly winking at Bai Wanwan throughout. If Shi Xiangning was indeed signing an indentured contract, then Liu Hanzhi, who considered herself the primary partner, was undeniably the most overjoyed.

She was finally no longer the lowest in status. Given the terms Shi Xiangning had proposed, it was fair to say that if Bai Wanwan were to keep a dog, Shi Xiangning would rank even lower than it.

“Alright, as long as you don’t regret it.”

Bai Wanwan finally put pen to paper, inscribing her name before pressing her handprint onto the document.

Shi Xiangning, who had been holding her breath in anticipation, instantly snatched up the contract and passionately kissed it the moment Bai Wanwan’s handprint was made.

‘She finally took the bait!’ Shi Xiangning shrieked in triumph within her mind.

Reincarnation, here I come!

“Cough, cough, I think I should be the one saying that. Repaying debts? That’s simple, a mere three hundred million…”

“First, take a look at how many zeroes are in three hundred million.”

Liu Hanzhi had been suppressing her amusement, but now that the contract was sealed, she no longer bothered to feign innocence.

As the saying goes: ‘The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it…’

Liu Hanzhi slipped a small piece of paper, covered in numerous zeroes, into Shi Xiangning’s hand.

“Huh? One zero, two zeroes, three zeroes, four… so many zeroes!”

“No, three hundred million… does it, does it have this many? Is this correct?”

Shi Xiangning counted the zeroes until she felt her own existence might dwindle into nothingness. Her former monthly wage had been less than a hundred yuan; how could she possibly have comprehended a sum of three hundred million?
