333: Tan Si

Tan Si

Its my brother's birthday so I drank a little please don't mind it. I wrote this chapter while I had a hangover.2

—————-

" These two are my daughters," Mo Yan introduced Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng to Tan Si who glanced at the two and smiled. 

" You two have grown so big, I saw you two when you were this small," she used her hand to show how small Mo Qiang and Mo Xifeng would have been when she saw them last time. " But then I was caught and thrown to that Damned Star and never saw you two again. HAHAHA!" 

Neither Mo Qiang nor Mo Xifeng knew what was there to laugh about but they still laughed a little along with Tan Si. 

Mo Xifeng turned to look at Mo Qiang before whispering, " Why are you laughing?" 

" I don't know, I am just accompanying her in laughing," Mo Qiang replied, she did not know what was going on anyway, so wasn't it fine to just go along with the flow? 

Mo Xifeng glanced at her sister who was laughing for no reason and suddenly felt exasperated. It seems that her sister was far more sociable than she expected her to be, while the two sisters were busy with their own thoughts Mo Yan sat down on the chair which belonged to the head of the house. 

She then urged Tan Si to take a seat as well before turning to look at her confused family members and started explaining, " Madam Tan has been working as a hunter for a long time, she had also gone to the Srephere dimension to hunt Violet Mountain Cows. Though she did not catch one, she did bring back a horn which is a great feat in itself." 

Only then did they realize that Mo Yan brought Tan Si here because the latter had ventured into the Srephere dimension. Mo Qiang turned to look at Tan Si and narrowed her eyes with suspicion swirling in them before asking, " What do you want in exchange Madam Tan?" 

She had worked in the corporate world for far too long and knew that no one would work for 'free' and ' for the sake of kindness,' there must be a reason why Tan Si was here to help them and Mo Qiang was not going to agree without finding out the clause that this woman had set for them in exchange for her help. 

Didn't a senior from the office bring her an expensive cake saying that he just couldn't see her working hard overtime? And then we saw that she had taken a bite of that expensive pastry, and he told her that it cost more than four hundred yuan. Mo Qiang had to repay those four hundred yuan by working forty nights as overtime in exchange for that senior! 

She did not believe that there was anything such as a free lunch in this world! 

Mo Yan did not stop Mo Qiang this time because she knew that her daughter had her own plans and considerations which was why she calmly picked up the glass that held the maple syrup water and then took a sip from it without inputting another word. 

Tan Si looked at Mo Qiang's straightforward manner and burst out laughing, she patted the table under her palm and then spoke while wiping the tears which were sticking to the corner of her eyes, " You are a smart woman, Miss Mo. I thought you were just a boorish thug who didn't know anything but looks like the rumours were false. You are clearly very smart!" 

She then nodded and then said, " You are right. The reason I came with your mother is because she agreed to pay me a hefty sum of money. You might be already aware of this fact but I will tell you again just in case —— No one is your bigger supporter than money. Even your own family members might not support you but money will till the end." 

She snapped her fingers and looked at Mo Qiang with a devilish grin before saying, " As long as you pay me a good sum of money I will not only act as your guide but as your protector and helper. My responsibilities depend on how much you are willing to pay." 

With that, she leaned backwards in her seat and then continued speaking, " The more you pay, the harder I will work." 

"And how much money do you want?" Mo Xifeng asked with a slight raise of her brow. She looked at the expensive shirt along with the black pants that Tan Si was wearing and if she wasn't wrong these two pieces of clothes cost more than their entire house. 

Tan Si smirked at Mo Xifeng's question and then raised her hand before showing three of her fingers, "Three million star coins. For a single trip, if you want my help in another one then we will have to redo the payment." 

Mo Qiang's expression changed as she looked at Tan Si and said, " Are you trying to rob a bank?" 

" I am not," while leaning on the chair, Tan Si looked at Mo Qiang with a smile. " You might not know this but the dimension of Srephere is not as simple as it looks, there are a lot of things that we need to consider before we can step into that place." She then pointed to her eye which was hidden behind a patch and then said, " Do you see this? It was done by the venom of the Violet Mountain Cow. Nothing could be done after that, do you still think that it's not worth it." 

" Just take her with you," Xiao Jiao commented while sitting on the top of Mo Qiang's head. " We were going to hire someone anyway." 

" Not someone… I was thinking of hiring a bunch of soldiers and not just a single one," Mo Qiang stated as she looked at Tan Si, with her eyes narrowed she said, " Miss Tan, I am not unwilling to pay you that sum but are you worth it?" She questioned not wanting to pay such a large sum of money for no reason. 

Tan Si smiled and then snapped her fingers.
