Shi Shaochuan and Jin Qingyue continued to wait until nighttime, even though An Xiaoning was yet to show up.

“Shaochuan, let’s head back, we can’t just keep waiting here. She’s not the only one who knows how to perform such rituals anyway, we can just look for someone else,” said an enraged Jin Qingyue, thinking that An Xiaoning was avoiding them on purpose.

“What if it doesn’t work again like the previous time?” Shi Shaochuan answered.

“What do we do, then?” asked Jin Qingyue, getting a little anxious and impatient.

“Go upstairs and tell her that I’m sincere in having a discussion with her and that I’ll do everything she says.”

Jin Qingyue proceeded to do as he instructed, though she was unsure if it would work or not.

“Got it, I’ll go down in a bit,” An Xiaoning answered.

Jin Qingyue then headed downstairs to wait for her.

An Xiaoning put on a pair of thick, black-colored leggings partnered with a long feathered coat, which ended at her calf, and headed downstairs after filling her pockets with some necessities.

Upon seeing her arrival, Shi Shaochuan said, “Just tell me everything you’d like for me to do. I’ll proceed according to your instructions, will that do?”

“Firstly, you’ll have to truly feel remorseful from within, for everything you’ve done to her. I can’t sense that you’re feeling guilty or remorseful though,” said An Xiaoning as she glared at him.

“I truly regret what I’ve done. If it weren’t for me, none of this would’ve happened. Things have already come to this, can’t you tell I’m really feeling guilty and regretful?”

An Xiaoning did not bother arguing with him and said instead, “I can help you with this matter, but on one condition. If you fail to promise me that, I won’t be able to proceed with it.”

“Speak your mind. I’ll do whatever you say as long as it’s within my means,” Shi Shaochuan agreed eagerly.

“Oh… it’s definitely within your means. Firstly, you’ll have to go with me to Wang Fangfang’s grave and get down on your knees to beg for her forgiveness. Secondly, haven’t I mentioned that I’m no saint? Shi Shaochuan, I won’t be helping you for free. Even Gu Beicheng would have to pay me, so would my husband, let alone you. I’m asking for this much. I’ll go tonight if you agree. Otherwise, please see yourself out,” An Xiaoning scoffed, sticking out all her fingers.

“Five million dollars? I’ll give it to you,” Shi Shaochuan agreed, for money did not matter to him anymore at this point.

Needless to say, An Xiaoning would never give up such a rare opportunity to exploit and get back at him. At the thought of the mistreatment and humiliation she had endured during the two years of their marriage, An Xiaoning let out a sly smile and corrected him, “50 million dollars.”

Jin Qingyue’s jaw dropped in shock.

Shi Shaochuan was dumbfounded while Jin Qingyan felt a sudden urge to interrupt as he stood by the stairs.

“Sister-in-law, that’s daylight robbery! 50 million dollars!?!” Jin Qingyue exclaimed in astonishment.

“Sister-in-law, I’ve already given you a discount by offering the price of 50 million dollars. I won’t force you if you’re not willing to go ahead with it. The ritual can only be performed if you’re genuinely keen on it. Consider it carefully,” An Xiaoning answered calmly as she turned around in a bid to head upstairs.
