I'm really not the god of time.

Chapter 73 The Last Deal

Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment:

"I've basically spent all my money, and I've also lost 30 years of my lifespan."

Xia Youran's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

Money isn't a big deal for her; she doesn't care about money at all.

But lifespan was a big question, making Xia Youran's heart pound:

"Are you crazy? You've used up so much of your lifespan!"

Zhang Lingyun smiled and said nonchalantly:

Don't worry, we'll make it up later.

Xia Youran was very angry:

"If you only live to be 50, you might die tonight."

"I won't die so young, will I? I'm a genius sorcerer, after all. I should live to be at least two or three hundred years old."

"Who can say for sure about something like this?"

Xia Youran loved to the extreme, hated to the extreme, and was furious to the extreme.

She grabbed Zhang Lingyun's hand and bit it hard.

Zhang Lingyun felt a little pain, but did not pull it out forcefully.

Xia Youran felt that wasn't enough, so she punched Zhang Lingyun's chest again:

"Let's make the deal right now, and I'll give you 15 years to live."

Zhang Lingyun paused for a moment and said:

"Give me a year of your lifespan, that's enough."

Xia Youran said very firmly:

"No, if you die, I don't want to live either. What's the point of having so much lifespan?"

Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt a touch of emotion.

He gently stroked Xia Youran's long hair, looking at her beautiful big eyes, which were now red and swollen from crying.

In the end, he agreed and tried to use the first level of the [Body Tempering Method] to exchange 15 years of Xia Youran's lifespan.

Zhang Lingyun originally thought that the transaction was unequal and might be rejected by the card.

However, the transaction process was not hindered.

Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment.

This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.

I feel that my understanding of the card rules is not deep enough.

It could be related to the stakes offered by both parties, or the level of importance the transacting parties placed on the deal.

Xia Youran probably felt that 15 years of lifespan was insignificant, which is why the transaction went smoothly.

Later--

Xia Youran finally cried enough.

She sniffed Zhang Lingyun's shirt, then showed a look of disgust:

"You smell like her."

Zhang Lingyun said with a hint of helplessness:

"Were you a police dog in your past life? I only touched her a few times."

Xia Youran gave him a push and asked again to confirm:

"You really didn't do it, right?"

"Of course not."

"Then go to the bathroom and wash yourself clean, then come to the bedroom to report for duty."

"What's up?"

"I need to check if your military equipment is adequate."

Zhang Lingyun rolled her eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.

Xia Youran stared at him and asked:

"What's wrong? Did you feel guilty?"

"What do I have to be ashamed of? Just you wait and see, I'll show you what it means to have well-trained troops and ample supplies."

***

Early the next morning.

Xia Youran prepared breakfast.

That bright little face now has a touch of mature womanhood.

It seems that the ample supplies of provisions made her feel safe.

But Xia Youran still warned:

"This deal is quite profitable, but I feel it's too risky. When do you plan to stop?"

Zhang Lingyun ate his fried egg and thought for a moment.

He also felt it was about time to stop, as most of the elderly people had already made deals with him.

"Alright, tonight is the last time. I'll go in and check again to see if there's anything I've missed."

"How about I go with you?"

"Don't go and cause trouble; you'll only distract me."

Xia Youran snorted, but couldn't refute it.

As a "weak witch", she is indeed far inferior to Ding Shuangshuang.

***

At night—

Zhang Lingyun also explained that this was the last time, and then entered the nursing home with Ding Shuangshuang.

Those unsuspecting buildings have already been traded.

This time, the two were bolder and entered a building with a tight security system.

The two searched for a long time before finally finding a hospital room.

Then, Zhang Lingyun summoned Miss Nine-Headed Bird and had her make a deal with the people inside.

Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang peeked through the crack in the door.

To their surprise, the bed inside was not an ordinary bed, but a hospital bed equipped with restraint devices.

Moreover, it wasn't an old woman inside; it was a witch who looked to be in her prime.

She was covered in medical instruments that kept beeping.

Several syringes were inserted into her body, injecting her with a suspicious potion.

When Miss Nine-Headed Bird proposed the terms of the deal, the witch actually laughed heartily:

"I'd heard from the nurses at the nursing home that a lot of strange things had been happening lately. Turns out you were the one behind it all."

Miss Nine-Headed Bird remained calm and composed, and said in a solemn manner:

"I don't want to chat with people."

The witch smiled:

"You, a [Tier 3 Courier], have quite the airs."

Zhang Lingyun was taken aback.

It seems this woman's rank is much higher than the others.

They recognized Miss Nine-Headed Bird at a glance.

Miss Nine-Headed Bird remained calm and said:

"If you're not going to make a deal, then I'm leaving."

The woman said:

"Wait a minute, I'm willing to make a deal. I can give you all my experience and lifespan. It's a pity that all my magic cards have been stripped away, otherwise I could give you all my spells too."

Miss Nine-Headed Bird nodded and asked:

"So what is your wish?"

"I need you to kill someone for me."

These words surprised both Zhang Lingyun and Ding Shuangshuang. They never expected that she would make such a request even in her current state.

But Miss Nine-Headed Bird, accustomed to storms, remained remarkably calm and asked:

"Who to kill?"

"It was Chen Muyan, the dean of this place, who killed me and made me like this."

Miss Nine-Headed Bird nodded:

"I see."

Miss Nine-Headed Bird stepped out of the room and glanced at Zhang Lingyun in the corridor:

"Master, it's up to you to decide whether or not to make this deal."

Zhang Lingyun thought about it for a moment.

Although this witch has been stripped of her magic, her experience is real, and it is estimated that she has at least a hundred years left to live.

I feel this deal is very worthwhile.

Moreover, the enemy she wanted to kill was related to the [God Kingdom Organization].

They deserved to die!

However, another question arises, which Ms. Nine-Headed Bird clearly stated:

"I'm just your [spirit messenger], only responsible for delivering messages, I won't kill anyone for you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Shuangshuang sighed softly and said:

"Let me do it."

Zhang Lingyun glanced at her and asked:

"Are you going to kill someone?"

"I'm your senior, so I'm definitely better than you. Besides, I'm your subordinate, so of course I should do things for my master."

That's not wrong.

The two checked the sanatorium's map and found that the director's office was in this building.

The two touched it and took a look, only to find that they were particularly lucky today, as the dean was actually working overtime.
