Chapter 281: Chapter 202: I’ve become the illegitimate child of the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu City? _2
“That’s Master Xu, the Northwest Hammer King!”
“Is there something wrong with the rumors? Master Xu is so handsome and dashing, how could he be mentally depraved?”
“Yeah, yeah, look at the way he’s throwing money around. He’s so charming, I wish I could crawl into his bed at night… wuuu!”
A female ghost had stars in her eyes.
A ghost nearby sneered, “You, a ghost who fell face-first from a building, are just dreaming. Master Xu’s five wives are all as beautiful as heavenly immortals, what would he want with a piece of crap like you?”
“Who the fuck are you talking about? I’ll fight you!”
For a moment, chaos broke out in the brothel.
“Ding!”
“A ghost is frightened, earning you +20 merit points.”
“Ding!”
“A ghost is frightened, earning you +10 merit points.”
“Ding…”
Leaving the brothel, Xu Yang looked puzzled.
I didn’t do anything… Why did I suddenly earn so many merit points?
“Most paranormal creatures must have recognized me…”
Xu Yang felt a sense of melancholy as he thought, “Your name proceeds you, indeed. No wonder many powerful martial artists in the martial world choose flashy names for themselves…”
On the streets of the Ghost Market, Yin spirits wandered about.
Various ghosts floated around each stand, selecting their favorite items. Some ghosts, deprived of the money they burned in life, could only leave in pain when they find something irresistible.
Behind the dark stands, ghosts were hiding in the shadows.
These ghosts were mostly fierce and malicious, waiting for newcomers to break the rules and strike at the right time.
A few young people were wearing masks, perhaps visiting the Ghost Market for the first time, and were full of curiosity.
An instructor whispered words of caution, explaining the rules of the Ghost Market.
Xu Yang felt even more emotional at that moment.
To think he had also been this naive on his first visit to the Ghost Market, both curious and respectful.
Soon after, half a month had passed.
The eight Ghost Market administrators, including the four Great Generals and the Chiyan Ghost King, were killed by themselves, Yue Qiluo became their own wife, and the remaining three became their own followers…
Even the Ghost Market Master probably wouldn’t be coming back!
After all, Lord Cui had already spoken.
Though not explicitly mentioned, this was probably why Xu Yang provided him with “weapons.”
That being said, Xu Yang was now the true master of the Xi Xia Ghost Market.
“Have you heard? The Great General is dead!”
“Which Great General?”
“Well, in our Xi Xia Ghost Market, is there a second ghost who dares to call himself the Great General?”
“Hiss!”
“The Great General is said to have reached a realm above ghost king level, and he once followed the Ghost Market Master. It’s not just Xi Xia, nobody in the entire northwestern underworld dares to kill him!”
“Ghosts and monsters may not dare to kill him, what about the human world?”
“I also heard that it was the Hammer Daoist who took action… Apparently, the Hammer Daoist killed the Chiyan Ghost King and their ilk, causing the Great General to kidnap Miss Yue, forcing the Hammer Daoist to go alone to the General’s Residence… Who would have thought, the Hammer Daoist has an astonishing background, knew the chief judge of the Underworld Palace, Lord Cui, who personally opened the gates of hell and threw the General and his ghost servants into Fengdu City…”
“Is that true?”
“Why would Lord Cui, such a legendary figure, help the Hammer Daoist?”
“Well, you don’t know… Rumor has it that the Hammer Daoist is not a worldly person but the illegitimate child of some bigwig in the Underworld Palace… and this bigwig, I don’t have to say for you to guess!”
“Could it be the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu?”
“It has to be! The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu is the only one who can deploy Lord Cui who held his post in Fengdu City…”
On the streets of a Ghost Market, a group of ghosts whispered to each other.
Xu Yang felt the hair on his scalp stand on end…
What the hell?
Do rumors always become distorted like this?
He became the “illegitimate child of the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu” overnight… If this goes on, he may even become Emperor Dongyue’s son…
Returning to the grocery store.
Yue Qiluo had also returned.
“My Lord, the haunted house you wanted has been prepared.”
“Really?”
Xu Yang was delighted, “That was fast! Show me!”
Yue Qiluo led the way and laughed, “Now that the Great General is dead, the entire Xi Xia Ghost Market is in our hands. We can have as many properties as we want. Moreover, I’ve recruited three thousand underworld soldiers who used to follow the Great General to help. Naturally, our progress is fast.”
The haunted house location was still on the same street, just about 100 meters away from the grocery store.
Yue Qiluo had connected ten stores, transforming the exterior into a giant beast’s mouth.
“These ten stores were originally the properties of the Great General, but now they belong tons.”
Yue Qiluo introduced, “The stores have two floors and a basement. I was worried the space would be insufficient, so I had the three-thousand underworld soldiers dig a second underground level.”
“I also did some simple decorations, I don’t know if it fits My Lord’s taste.”
Xu Yang looked around, nodded in satisfaction, hugged Yue Qiluo, and said, “Thankyou, Madam…You’re very thoughtful!”
In reality, setting up the haunted house didn’t require any decoration.
