Chapter 814: Chapter 810: Pleasant Cooperation!
"Do you want to know?" Sun Miaohan looked at Xiao Tian teasingly, trying to keep him in suspense.
Xiao Tian listened and remained silent, immediately employing his body technique as if ready to escape again at a moment’s notice.
A moment later, Xiao Tian looked at the confident Sun Miaohan and said curiously, "Aren’t you going to stop me?"
Sun Miaohan chuckled internally, thinking that men were indeed like this. When she chased him earlier, he kept running, but now that she stopped chasing, he seemed a bit unsettled!
However, this was a huge misunderstanding. The reason Xiao Tian asked was that he felt Sun Miaohan, this seemingly delicate woman, was far more complex than she appeared. When something is out of the ordinary, it must be examined, so he asked.
And indeed, as Xiao Tian predicted, Sun Miaohan soon revealed her leverage.
"Why would I need to stop you?"
After saying this, Sun Miaohan gave a meaningful smile, "So, do you think I need to stop you?"
Xiao Tian squinted, thinking to himself how frightening Sun Miaohan was. Such a malicious plan was spoken of so casually, and she seemed not the least bit worried about him getting angry.
Moreover, what puzzled him most was that Sun Miaohan’s blatant threat didn’t seem odd or infuriating at all, almost like it was a joke between friends!
Of course, given the previous lessons, Xiao Tian did not doubt that Sun Miaohan could once again pull off something astonishing.
So he had to suppress his anger and steer the conversation to the main topic: "How did you know I was looking for the Shaking Light Disc?"
This time, Sun Miaohan did not deliberately make it difficult for Xiao Tian and said directly, "Because someone on the Dark List forum posted a message, not only pointing out that you are looking for the Shaking Light Disc, but also exaggerating some of its miraculous aspects."
"If I’m not mistaken, there are now a large number of people heading your way!"
After hearing Sun Miaohan’s explanation, Xiao Tian suddenly had an insight. The person who pointed out that he was looking for the Shaking Light Disc must be the same person who spread the news about him owning the Megrez Stone.
And the person behind the scenes was very likely the owner of that God Sealing Secret Letter.
However, merely having a conclusion was not enough. Under the current circumstances where he couldn’t locate the mastermind, handling the immediate situation was the priority. With the opponent making a move again, he wondered how to counter it this time.
Last time, the rumor that Xiao Tian’s Megrez Stone contained a treasure map was inadvertently countered after a fight with Kojima Minako.
But this time, it was clear that fighting won’t resolve it easily.
Just like when he snatched the Five Elements Crystal, it wasn’t feasible for Xiao Tian to deal with all the experts trying to seize it in one go. Even if he had that ability, such an action was unthinkable.
Now, given his insufficient strength and the lack of a pill to unlock the Genetic Lock, the situation looked dire.
While Xiao Tian was deep in thought, Sun Miaohan’s voice softly broke into his thoughts.
"Let’s team up!"
At least, as a strategist, Sun Miaohan was indeed a qualified candidate. Her eloquence and adaptability were top-notch!
But in the current situation, having brains wasn’t enough. Without corresponding strength, relying solely on schemes and calculations wasn’t sufficient to handle the situation.
Although Sun Miaohan did have strength matching her intelligence, it was just that...
Seeing Xiao Tian’s reaction, Sun Miaohan immediately understood his thoughts and said, "Don’t even think about it. I’ve never lost a bet with Ji Dantong since we were kids, so I can’t possibly lose to you!"
"That’s unfortunate then!" Xiao Tian thought for a moment and still felt the drawbacks of teaming up with Sun Miaohan outweighed the benefits, so he politely declined.
Sun Miaohan immediately showed a "I expected this" expression and said, "Alright then, but since I have the status of your girlfriend now, I guess I’m pretty sought-after too. Just don’t regret it later!"
Right after Sun Miaohan finished speaking, a chilling cold enveloped her entirely, making her shiver.
"Just kidding! No need to be so serious!" Sun Miaohan wrapped her arms around her chest, lifting the soft mass, making it look fuller and more tempting, her pink lips slightly pursed in a somewhat angry manner.
However, Xiao Tian was in no mood to admire such scenes. Sun Miaohan’s unpredictable nature always gave him a sense of uncertainty, so Xiao Tian decided to speak plainly.
"You just mentioned you’re also after the Shaking Light Disc, so we have a conflict of interest. Even if the treasure is acquired in the end, how do you plan to distribute it?" Xiao Tian asked earnestly.
"Of course I’ve thought about it!" Sun Miaohan looked directly at Xiao Tian, appearing very sincere, "As long as you let me stay by your side, I’ll make sure you willingly give me the Shaking Light Disc when the time comes."
Finishing, Sun Miaohan added, "Of course, if you don’t agree, then I have nothing else to say; you can have the Shaking Light Disc!"
Looking at her incredibly confident face, Xiao Tian almost wanted to laugh and ask where her confidence came from, believing he would willingly give her the Shaking Light Disc. But ultimately, he said nothing more and simply nodded in agreement.
This was indeed a decision Xiao Tian made after weighing the situation. According to Sun Miaohan, the condition for him to give her the Shaking Light Disc was willingly, but given her current self-imposed strength, there was indeed no reason for him to be willing!
If that’s the case, cooperation isn’t out of the question.
In the next moment, Sun Miaohan coughed twice and formally extended her hand, "Pleasure working with you!"
Xiao Tian smiled and extended his hand as well; after shaking hands tightly, he said, "Pleasure working with you!"
After officially reaching a cooperation agreement, Sun Miaohan finally had a reason to stay by Xiao Tian’s side.
Watching Sun Miaohan folding clothes neatly and putting them away, Xiao Tian said unhappily, "Since we’ve already reached an agreement, there’s no need for you to keep doing this, right?"
"Of course it’s necessary! I just appeared in front of those people with a big belly. If it’s suddenly gone, people will say I have character issues!" Sun Miaohan explained confidently, "How embarrassing would it be if word got out!"
Xiao Tian was speechless, unable to utter a word for quite some time. Her double standards were just too strong!
