There was a saying that went something along these lines,‘the sparrow is small but sufficient’.Ahem,while this metaphor was somewhat unsuitable,what Mi Wan was trying to say was:This sparrow spirit’s demonic energy was lacking,but he was efficient.That bounty was transferred to her in three days.

“The police had been searching for this wanted criminal for a long time.When they heard I knew where he was hiding,they sent for an overnight patrol to make the arrest.Their captain was elated and immediately awarded me with the bounty.It just got deposited today,so I’m here to deliver it to you,”The sparrow spirit said as he handed a square block wrapped in newspaper to Mi Wan.“I’ve already transferred 400,000 yuan to your account.This 100,000 yuan is the cash you asked for.”

Mi Wan pulled out her mobile phone and returned 20,000 yuan to the sparrow spirit on the spot.

“Boss,what are you doing?”The sparrow spirit chirped in surprise.

“It’s your delivery fee.”This sparrow spirit only had a few ten thousand yuan in his account,and that was just miserable.Since he ran an errand for her,she would make sure it was not for naught.

“Boss…you…are so generous.”The sparrow spirit was excited beyond belief.He had busted his tail feathers for so many years but still remained stuck as a lowly office worker with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan.He never thought that running an errand for the Boss would earn him 20,000 yuan in three days.

“Boss,if there are more of these errands in the future,call me anytime.”Tempted by money,the sparrow spirit had long forgotten about the warning from Ji Jingjing,his good friend who had advised him to avoid future contact with Mi Wan.

“Okay,if you find any more profitable business for me in the future,you can introduce it to me,and I will calculate a commission for you,”Mi Wan said casually.

“Business?”The sparrow spirit was stunned.

“For example,cases like Ji Jingjing,those who have difficulty transforming.”Mi Wan recalled a promotional advertisement that she saw recently,“Through your referral,I can consider giving them a 10%discount.”

“Boss?Are you willing to continue treating demons?”The sparrow spirit was bewildered.

“Why?Does the Demon Hunter Association prohibit that?”After seeing the sparrow spirit’s overwhelming reaction,Mi Wan asked out of concern.

“No,I’m just surprised.After all,you are a demon hunter,and we are demons.There has never been a demon hunter who is so…obvious in aiding the demonic race,”The sparrow spirit explained.

Although it seemed peaceful between the demon hunters and the demon race today,the battles and competitions in the background never ceased.Both parties were afraid that the other would gain too much power and break this balance.Demon hunters could not wait for all the demons to be exterminated through the spread of demonic poisoning,and the demon race also hoped that fewer human beings would awaken as demon hunters.

A demon hunter who could cure the demonic poison of the demons was already a shocker to the sparrow spirit.He never expected that this demon hunter would continue to aid the demon race.

“How can you call this help?You contribute money and I contribute effort.This is a fair,reasonable,and mutually beneficial business.”Although Mi Wan was not currently short of money,she enjoyed making money.After all,no one would ever complain that they had too much money.Besides,the relationship between the original owner of this body and her family was so frosty,who knows when she would get thrown out of the house?That’s why it was just necessary to establish a stable money-making source.

“Then…can you cure those with more serious demonic poisoning than Ji Jingjing?”The sparrow spirit looked hopefully as he recalled another one of his childhood friends.

“It depends on how serious it is.You better bring them to me so I can take a look.”Mi Wan was not arrogant enough to think that she could eliminate any form of demonic poison.She could easily cleanse the sparrow spirit,chicken spirit,and dog demon of demonic poison because these three demons did not have high demonic power levels.If a demon’s power level was high,she couldn’t guarantee it.

For example,the tree demon bro next door had not seen much improvement despite undergoing treatment for so long.

“Okay.”The sparrow spirit seemed determined and nodded his head gravely,“I will take leave of absence tomorrow to visit my tribe.”

Since he just earned three months’worth of his usual salary,he didn’t need to worry about the reduced pay when he asked for leave.

After parting with the sparrow spirit,Mi Wan followed the address given by the dog demon and found his and old man Liu’s house.Upon reaching the entrance,the courtyard door was opened by the dog demon.He must have caught her scent from afar.

Demons that hailed from the canine species were a troublesome lot.When she was chased by the demon race five hundred years ago,they could find her no matter where she was hiding.At that time,it was a pain in the butt.

“Here.”Mi Wan handed over the 100,000 yuan.

The young man accepted it without hesitation.

“And this…is for your grandfather.”She held out two boxes of milk.

“Thank you.”The boy who took the 100,000 yuan without saying anything,whispered his thanks.

“Maomao,who’s there?”At this time,an old man’s voice came from the house.

“Do you…want to come in?”Seeing that Grandpa was awake,the young man hesitated and looked at Mi Wan.Although he never liked demon hunters,the demon hunter before him had helped him and even brought gifts for the old man.

While Mi Wan was considering it,an anxious old man Liu walked out in his slippers.When he saw Mi Wan,he ran over excitedly and dragged her into the house.

“Maomao,pour water for our guest.”Old man Liu instructed his grandson to serve water and then he pulled Mi Wan over to express his gratitude,“Girl,did you save Maomao that day because you knew that it was a demon and not an ordinary dog?”

(No,I just noticed that you didn’t have the strength to carry him,so I helped you take him to the hospital.The two thousand yuan were also not mine)

Mi Wan denied inwardly while smiling outwardly.

“Maomao told me that he was only able to transform into a human because you cured his illness.I really don’t know how to thank you.”

(No need,just give me money)

Mi Wan maintained her smile.

“Have some water.”The teenager brought over a white porcelain bowl and saw Mi Wan staring at him.He explained awkwardly,“There are no more cups at home.”

“Yeah,I hope it doesn’t offend you girl.”He was often alone,and usually,no one visits him,so there were no extra cups at home.

“I’m not offended.”Mi Wan was truly unbothered.500 years ago,she’s even used broken pottery.A porcelain bowl is nothing compared to that.After a brief chat,Mi Wan found an excuse to leave and the old man asked the teenager to send Mi Wan off.
