Chapter 276: Chapter 199: Duke Primordial Spirit Controls the Sword, Little Kitty, Don’t Be Afraid!_3
“Nothing wrong here.”
Xu Yang laughed: “To be honest, the first time I cooperated with your team and received the bonus you sent me, I looked a lot like you do now, Captain Feng.” “Master Xu is joking!”
Feng Zhaoqing thought Xu Yang was joking and said: “With your abilities, Master Xu, drawing a single talisman can bring in several hundred thousand or even millions. The bonus from the Spirits Management Bureau doesn’t really mean much compared to that.”
After some chit-chat, Xu Yang continued: “I promised Minister Wang to provide some Daoist talismans for the Spirits Management Bureau, but I haven’t had time to draw them yet. I know you’ve been working hard dealing with the recent surge of bizarre cases across the country, so I hope these talismans can help relieve your urgent needs.”
“Additionally… I have one more request.”
Feng Zhaoqing replied: “Feel free to ask, Master Xu.”
Xu Yang said seriously: “I want information about the Xishan Wanshou Palace!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhaoqing couldn’t help but freeze.
As an Innate Realm martial arts Grandmaster, he naturally knew about the “Xishan Wanshou Palace” and that it was currently controlled by the Lu Shan Sect. Xu Yang asking about the palace’s situation…
The purpose was self-evident!
Feng Zhaoqing hesitated for a few seconds and said, “Master Xu, according to the regulations signed by Minister Wang and the major factions and families in the martial world, our Spirits Management Bureau can’t get directly involved in martial world disputes.”
Having said that,
Feng Zhaoqing added with a smile, “Of course, since you are now the deputy director of the Spirits Management Bureau in Xi Xia, you are one of us. If you want to access information about the Xishan Wanshou Palace from the intelligence department, no one would stop you as it is reasonable.”
“In that case,”
“I’ll call Director Chen later and apply on your behalf, Master Xu. The information you want should be available in about half an hour.”
“Deal!”
Xu Yang felt satisfied and stood up to say, “Let’s go. Show me the Spirits Management Bureau’s killer.”
Following Feng Zhaoqing to a sealed room at the Spirits Management Bureau, Xu Yang saw the white plastic box.
The talismans on the box were still there. Xu Yang took them off one by one and opened the box…
Whoosh!
As soon as he lifted the lid, a foul stench rushed out from the box… And amidst the odor, a ghostly figure soared into the air!
The ghost, over 2 meters tall with blood in its eyes, stared menacingly at Xu Yang and coldly laughed: “Jie Jie Jie Jie… Xu Yang, you didn’t expect it, right? No, ah… I’m dead!”
Before it could finish its provocation, Xu Yang slapped it with a palm carrying the power comparable to the late Innate Realm, mixed with the late Entering Dao Realm’s magical power, as well as the essence of thunder and fire. The ghost was killed with just a single slap.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, you have successfully saved lost souls and received a reward: Merit Value +500.”
By the time Xu Yang heard the system notification in his mind, he had already stepped out of the room. Clutching his nose, he shouted, “That Asura Sect killer-tumed-ghost has been purified by me. You need to dispose of the flesh and blood in this box quickly; the smell is just too intense!”
The smell was too strong!
Xu Yang didn’t even want to stay in such a place to earn merit points…
He was happy with just making a one-time profit!
After all, it was midsummer.
Under these circumstances, it was normal for the “flesh and blood” in the box to go bad in just two or three days.
After bidding farewell to Feng Zhaoqing, Xu Yang went to Niujia Street amusement park, heading straight to the haunted house.
He walked confidently into the innermost room of the haunted house, only to find that Yue Niang was not home, leaving only the little orange cat.
“Ding!”
“The feline spirit is frightened. Merit Value +100, Agility +1.”
The small orange cat, upon seeing Xu Yang, felt inexplicably scared and backed away a few steps, saying, “Master Xu, elder sister is not here. She went to refine the land decree and won’t be back until tonight… Maybe you can come back when elder sister is home?”
Looking at the talking little orange cat and listening to the system notification,
Xu Yang couldn’t help but imagine the small orange cat as Catgirl. He immediately rubbed his hands together, closed the door with one hand, and chuckled sinisterly, “Little kitty, don’t be scared. I just want to pet you a bit. I won’t hurt you!”
