Chapter 588: Chapter 588: The Money Issue_1

Having quietly calculated the amount in her bank account, Sisi Qin found herself praying inwardly that the ghost’s demands wouldn’t be too steep.

"I’m not a wealthy person, so why don’t you tell

how much you want, and I’ll see if I can handle it," Sisi pre-empted, hoping to avoid any outrageously high demands.

The ghost glanced at Sisi with so discontent before replying, "My parents live in the countryside, they don’t spend much, but they’re old and need to have so money set aside for dical expenses. Let’s say a hundred thousand yuan for them.

My wife and I live in a house bought on loan. We borrowed quite a bit to make the initial paynt and I’ve finally cleared the debts with my hard work over these two years.

My wife doesn’t earn much and spends almost everything on repaying the loan each month. I want to help clear her bank loans completely, this should be around two hundred thousand yuan."

Sisi swallowed hard, "So, you an three hundred thousand yuan in total?"

The ghost nodded, emphasizing its words, "I base my demands on the actual situation. I don’t think they’re high."

Sisi sighed inwardly. In theory, the demands weren’t high, but they were certainly high for her.

She only had just over two hundred thousand yuan in her bank account, falling short of the ghost’s demand by a hundred thousand yuan.

But now that she knew the price, Sisi was determined not to give up on this ghost. She agreed to his demands and let him know she didn’t have enough money for now but would try her best to gather the rest. She would go with him to give the money to his parents and wife when the ti ca.

Inquiring about the ghost’s na, she learned he was called Lu Bin.

A very ordinary na, a very ordinary life, and very ordinary conditions, yet they proved sowhat overwhelming for Sisi Qin.

Regardless, the deal was finally negotiated successfully. Ye You collected Lu Bin’s soul into the Portable Space, then turned to Sisi and asked, "Who are you planning to borrow the money from?"

Sisi sighed, "Besides Boss Zheng, I can’t think of anyone else who could lend

so much money."

Boss Zheng was familiar with her character and abilities and knew that she would definitely pay him back. He should be able to lend her the money.

However, Sisi didn’t like asking people for money.

After a mont’s thought, Ye You said, "There might be soone else worth trying."

"Who?" Sisi asked curiously, she couldn’t think of anyone else who was both wealthy and trustworthy.

Ye You looked at Sisi and said slowly, "Ding Jiawang."

"Him?" Hearing this na, Sisi was surprised. "Why did you think of him?"

Ding Jiawang’s family was indeed wealthy, but as a college student, it seed unlikely that he would have that much money on hand.

Ye You explained, "You rember you owe him a favor, right?"

Sisi nodded, "Of course I rember, but he hasn’t contacted

since."

The ghost, Yao Shujun, had the wish of being kissed by a handso man. Sisi asked Ding Jiawang for help and he agreed, but with the condition that Sisi would help him with sothing in the future.

At the ti, Sisi often thought about this agreent, wondering what strange request Ding Jiawang might have.

However, since Ding Jiawang hadn’t contacted her since then, she began to forget about it.

Ye You mused, "He must be troubled by sothing since he made that request. Perhaps he couldn’t bear to tell you, or he didn’t feel the matter was urgent enough, which is why he hasn’t reached out to you yet.

It may be worth inquiring about it now. You might discover sothing else. Don’t worry about the financial aspect. For a rich second-generation like him, a hundred thousand yuan isn’t a problem."

Sisi didn’t fully agree with Ye You’s reasoning, but asking for a loan isn’t a guarantee that the other party will agree. Thus, she decided to try approaching Ding Jiawang first. If that didn’t work, she could still ask Boss Zheng.

The following morning, Sisi called Ding Jiawang, summoning the courage to bring up the loan. She sincerely expressed that she would help with any difficulties Ding Jiawang or his friends faced.

Borrowing money wasn’t shaful in her view, but it would not be right to take advantage of others without offering sothing in return. That’s how Sisi genuinely felt.

Ding Jiawang was very surprised when he first heard that Sisi wanted to borrow money. He hadn’t expected her to be short on funds; as a mage, she seed to have easy access to money.

However, after hearing Sisi’s sincerity, Ding Jiawang believed that she truly needed the money.

To have the powerful support of a mage would surely be advantageous to him.

Sisi’s commitnt ultimately swayed Ding Jiawang. He agreed to lend her the money, but he had class in the morning, so the two agreed to et at a coffee shop in the city center in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Sisi heaved a sigh of relief and muttered to Ye You, "Borrowing money is so difficult!"

Ye You chuckled, "That’s because you haven’t really experienced sothing truly difficult. This is actually quite easy."

"Alright then." Sisi didn’t want to argue with Ye You about this topic. She still had to focus on practicing her Magic Skill.

She had succeeded in casting the Fire Bomb. The other three attribute spells she previously activated with the rmaid’s Tear, the Lovesick Wood Comb, and the Soul Locking Nail were almost perfectly fused with her Magic Source, so Ye You decided to start teaching her other Attribute Magic skills.

Of all the activated items, the rmaid’s Tears had the highest grade, so Ye You decided to teach Sisi a water attribute spell first: Silent Drizzle.

This was the most basic of the water attribute spells and wasn’t ant for attack, but for mundane tasks like watering plants or washing faces.

Since Sisi had never tried water magic before, she needed to start from scratch.

Since the spell had a very low-level and wouldn’t cause any damage to the room, Ye You didn’t set up a barrier. Sisi could practice directly in her room.

As with each new spell, she initially fails repeatedly.

She had to conjure up the Magic Power, connect with the Water Attribute within the Magic Source, silently recite the spell, then project it through her hands.

After several attempts, not a single drop of water was emitted from her palms.

She opened her hand, looking at it with a self-deprecating smile, but made no signs of feeling disheartened.

Having gone through multiple magic lessons, she understood that progress was gradual. She also deeply appreciated Ye You’s frequent advice about not hurrying things.

Just like when she first learned the fire attribute spell, initial failure doesn’t count as failure. With continuous practice, success will eventually co her way, little by little.
