Have a dropped novel you want to read more chapters of?
Xing Ye pondered but didn't agree yet, instead asking: "Does it have to be your head? Since you said that my head's also fine, if I can't find your head within the next three days, can I bring you somebody else's head?"

Cao Qian and Wu Yu had originally thought that the mission was already revealed: to find the girl's missing head and give it to the female ghost NPC. Who would've thought that Xing Ye would actually go and ask that?

The human head seemed to have been confused by Xing Ye's question as it jumped upside-down, slamming on the floor a few times until blood streamed out from its eyes before answering: "Some blood got into my brain just now so I couldn't think clearly, but now it's fine. No, you promised, so of course it's your head I should get."

Xing Ye lifted the trembling Boys A and C before continuing to negotiate with the head: "But look, you already have a human head but it doesn't seem to be your own. Doesn't this mean that you need to have your head? Even if you take mine, there's no point. How about we make a deal: if I can't find your head three days later, then I'll bring somebody else's head for another three day's time. I'll bring a new head every three days until I find your original head."

"Huh?" The human head looked confused again. This was the first time she met a person like Xing Ye, who would bargain with her.

"Let's look at which one of these two plans are more beneficial for you. Your plan is to kill me if I don't find your head in three days. This means, after I'm dead, nobody can help you. My plan is that three days later, I won't die so there will always be somebody to help you look for your head. The second plan is obviously a win-win situation, anybody with eyes would know which option is better." If he had a computer, Xing Ye definitely would've typed out a full comparison analysis for the human head.

The head seemed to have been dazed by his words, only replying sluggishly a long while later: "It seems... reasonable."

"Furthermore, you shouldn't just use me alone," Xing Ye continued, "Look, there's five of us. If you make a deal with all of us, you'll have five helpers. Wouldn't that be very profitable?"

"Profitable!" This time, the human head reacted very fast, slapping noises echoing through the hall as she jumped to Cao Qian and Wu Yu. Her eyes were red as she stared at them unwaveringly: "I'll remember you five."

Cao Qian and Wu Yu were itching to kill Xing Ye, but Xing Ye still hadn't finished his negotiations: "Since there's five of us, I would like to propose that if three days later, we don't find your head, we'll still only have to give you one head every three days."

"No way!" Miss Human Head hopped back to Xing ye, "One person, one head! I want five!"

"It is five. On the 3rd day, I'll give you one, on the 6th, Wu Yu, on the 9th, Cao Qian, and so on." Xing Ye said, his tone neither too slow or too fast.

Without fingers to count, Miss Human Head had to think for a long time before understanding: "No, I want five at once."

"Okay, you can have five at once too, but what's the point of having so many human heads?" Xing Ye asked again.

"Jumping around is fun~" Miss Human Head suddenly started jumping happily, going higher and higher with each jump, until all five of them were covered in blood.

"Then if you can control human heads to jump, can you control all five of them?"

"Just one at a time, the rest can be stored for later." Miss Human Head looked really happy, as if she were about to get a lot of pretty clothes.
