Nie Xiaochun didn't say a word, propped her phone up on the table, and opened the video.

My face darkened. Wasn't that video of me cooking?

Feng Ruoxing picked up a chopstick and tasted my noodles: "Not bad! The noodles are springy, cooked just right, rinsed in cold water to make them even more refreshing. Not bad!"

Nie Xiaochun said with a half-smile, "Your knife skills are also excellent! The meat slices are uniformly sized and evenly thin. Most importantly, you even know how to control the heat. You know all the skills of a top chef. How did I not notice that before?"

There was no need for explanation this time. I was exposed!

Ye Yang didn't say anything, but the guy ordered a whole bunch of fresh ingredients, things that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water, nothing was missing.

Ye Yang put the ingredients in front of me: "Dinner is the main event, do it well!"

They ate the meal until their cheeks were puffed out like little toads, and they couldn't even bother to talk. After the meal, they wanted dessert, and I had to make dessert too.

Serving them two meals didn't let me off the hook. If I hadn't threatened to die, they would have made me cook every day.

It's all Feng Ruoxing's fault. Would I have become a chef if she hadn't given me the idea?

My days of air conditioning, sofas, and watermelon had now turned into days in the kitchen. If I didn't owe her life, I would have thrown her out directly.

In the end, I didn't throw Feng Ruoxing out, but she brought back a business deal for me.

That day, when I saw Feng Ruoxing coming in with a smile, I knew it wasn't good. As soon as she opened her mouth, she said: "Li Po, I have a business deal that needs your help. After it's done, we'll split the profits two-eight, I get two, you get eight!"

My eyes narrowed at that moment: There's something fishy about this job, I can't take it.

I know what kind of person Feng Ruoxing is; she's not one to take a loss.

If I said that one of her dishes wasn't properly oiled, she could persuade Ye Yang and the others to mess with me. Now, she wants to split the business deal with me two-eight, letting me take the bigger share. She's treating me like a fool.

"No way!" I shook my head immediately: "I'm not available these days, you find someone else!"

Feng Ruoxing immediately collapsed on the table, looking infinitely mournful: "Oh heavens! I'm about to die, and there are so many things I haven't done yet! I have so many wishes that won't come true, who can help me!"

I jumped up directly: "My dear grandma, would you please let me die directly next time? Don't make me owe you life essence. Tell me, what business is it?"

Feng Ruoxing sat up with a smile: "Seven-Nine business!"

"What the hell?" I was immediately dumbfounded: "Seven-Nine business, you dare to take that? Are you crazy?"

Feng Ruoxing spread her hands: "There's no way! I can only live for another year, and there are so many places I haven't been to yet! For my wish to travel around the world, I have to find a way to survive!"

I was so angry that I rolled my eyes: You really can't owe people favors. Once you owe them, you have to work like crazy to pay them back.

Seven-Nine business, that's a life-risking business!

Seven-Nine business originated from a sect in the art of divination called the Seven-Nine Gate.

The Seven-Nine Gate became famous all over the world because their rules were different.

The Seven-Nine Gate only does business for seven days. They must solve the employer's problem within seven days.

If they can't solve the employer's problem in seven days, the reward is halved.

If they haven't finished the business in fourteen days, they don't get a penny.

If they can't solve the employer's problem within twenty-one days, they have to protect the employer first.

The rules of the Seven-Nine Gate can be said to be insanely arrogant in the art of divination. Many practitioners don't dare to say that they can understand a business deal within twenty-one days, but the Seven-Nine Gate can shout out such a sentence.

As for what the nine means, I only know that there is a saying in the Seven-Nine Gate: "Meeting seven means death, meeting nine means life."

However, only the disciples of the Seven-Nine Gate know the meaning of this sentence.

Later, the Seven-Nine Gate disappeared from the martial world, but many practitioners followed the rules of the Seven-Nine Gate to show off their skills. They wanted to show that they were highly skilled and bold, and that they would win every time they made a move.

That's how the saying "Seven-Nine" business came about in the martial world. However, most practitioners will not actively propose a "Seven-Nine" agreement, because they are not sure that they can complete the business within seven days.

"Seven-Nine" is mostly a requirement put forward by the employer. The person who can entrust a "Seven-Nine" business must have a great understanding of the art of divination, or even be a practitioner himself.

The rewards for this kind of business are extremely high, but it is also very difficult to accept. Those who dare to touch the "Seven-Nine" business are all top masters in the art of divination.

Feng Ruoxing spread her hands: "There's no way! The rewards they offer are too high. I can't help but be tempted! If we take this business, you and Ye Yang can each get at least ten years of life."

After my eyes lit up, I quickly regained my composure: "The one who entrusted the business is a Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren?"

"Yes!" Feng Ruoxing nodded: "But don't worry, that Jie Ming Ren is also under the Yama King's banner. We know each other well, there will never be any problems! He won't harm you either."

Feng Ruoxing gave me a guarantee, but I didn't continue to answer: "He is a Jie Ming Ren himself, why doesn't he do it himself?"

Those who dare to borrow life from the underworld are not ordinary people. What does it mean that he doesn't do it himself?
