Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Did You Raise a Ghost King at Home?
Translator: 549690339
Wang Lin and Bai Wei felt a mix of emotions.
They had suspected that there was a ghost in Xu Yang’s house.
After all, they had been working at the Spirits Management Bureau for quite some time and had seen all kinds of strange and eccentric people. They were aware of many secrets, and raising a ghost wasn’t such a rare occurrence.
But…
Damn, it’s the Ghost King!!!
Others raise Minor Demons.
And Xu Yang, you’ve raised a freaking Ghost King???
Internally cursing, Wang Lin hurriedly said, “Please don’t be angry, Ghost
King… We had no idea that you were here. How could we be coveting anything?”
Did you think that your sneaky actions across the street last time could fool me?” said Liu Shishi calmly.
She didn’t even look at Wang Lin and Bai Wei.
Instead, she stared at her right hand.
On her fingertips, there was a blood-red Yin energy winding around like a spirit snake. The aura it emitted made Wang Lin and Bai Wei feel suffocated!
They even felt that even if the Innate Grandmaster of their branch came, he would have been killed with just one finger!
This was not an exaggeration as the Ghost King’s power was comparable to that of a Heavenly Being in martial arts. She had that kind of strength.
“Last time?”
Wang Lin wiped his cold sweat and said, “Ghost King, you misunderstood. We came here last time for Master Xu.”
“Hmm?”
Liu Shishi’s aura turned cold and she angrily said, “How dare you! Who gave you the courage to investigate Xu Yang?”
Xu Yang saw that Liu Shishi was really angry.
And it was to protect him.
He felt delighted inside.
However, he also understood that the Spirits Management Bureau had powerful methods and experts that shouldn’t be underestimated. So, he coughed and entered the store to advise them, “Shishi, don’t be angry. They’re just trying to maintain public order and don’t have any malicious intentions.”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Wang Lin nodded his head vigorously, akin to a pecking chicken, and said, “We only came last time to investigate the BMW car accident case. We didn’t have any malicious intentions.”
Liu Shishi:”
H
BMW car accident case?
Her attitude softened a bit, and she glanced coldly at Wang Lin and Bai Wei before snorting. A voice echoed in their minds—
ii
Xu Yang is under my protection. If you dare to harm him, don’t blame me for being rude… And about the car accident last time, it was my fault for not driving properly. Xu Yang is not to blame.”
She spoke these words using a technique similar to “voice transmission encryption,” so Xu Yang didn’t hear her.
Having said that.
She stood up.
“Yang Yin, let’s go.”
Then, the two floated up to the second floor.
The oppressive, suffocating atmosphere inside the funeral shop suddenly disappeared. Wang Lin and Bai Wei gasped for breath, their faces pale, their backs soaked in sweat.
Xu Yang brought over two chairs.
And said, “Mr. Wang, Miss Bai, please have a seat.”
He then sat down in the chair Liu Shishi had just been sitting in and continued, “You both have seen that Shishi and Yang Yin, although they are ghosts, are beautiful and kind-hearted. They are good ghosts who have never harmed anyone. I understand the responsibilities of the Spirits Management Bureau…”
“… But just as there are good and bad people, there are good and bad ghosts.”
“Surely you can differentiate between good and evil, right?”
Xu Yang had to clarify this matter.
If the Spirits Management Bureau intended to harm Yang Yin and Liu Shishi, then he would have to make other plans.
Wang Lin cautiously glanced at the staircase before saying, “Master Xu, don’t worry. Our founder of the Spirits Management Bureau was even said to have once been in love with a Snake Demon. We only go after malevolent beings who cause harm and trouble in the mortal world.”
ii
Shut up!”
Bai Wei scolded in a low voice, “How dare you discuss the gossip about our founder?”
Xu Yang:”…”
Holy shit!
In love with a Snake Demon? Could it be that the founder’s surname was Xu and his name was Immortal?
Upstairs.
Yang Yin happily said, “Sister, Master Xu is praising us.”
“Hmph!”
Liu Shishi felt a sweetness in her heart, but her face remained cold and aloof. She asked casually, “Who cares about his praise… By the way, have you found the remote control? The drama I’ve been following is about to start…”
Inside her heart, it thumped rapidly, “The founder of the Spirits Management Bureau must be an extraordinary person, and he was even in love with a Snake Demon… In The Enchanting Phantom, Ning Chaisen and Xiao Qian also fell in love…”
“Then… What about Xu Yang…?”
No matter how powerful she was now,
Back when she was alive, she was just a young girl after all.
Especially for the young ladies from ancient times, they all held an indescribable yearning for “love.”
Wan Baolu, who was following Xu Yang, felt numb all over.
Damn it!
Those two beautiful young ladies, just like what my niece said, are really ghosts raised by Master Xu?
Their aura just now was really terrifying!
I almost pissed my pants!
Now hearing Xu Yang say this again, the expressions of Wang Lin and Bai Wei also changed a bit…
Spirits Management Bureau?
Spirits Management Bureau?
He had never even heard of this department before, it must be a special one.
The founders of such a department must be extraordinary people… It’s amazing how much inside information he was getting today!
This world is too dangerous!
There are not only ghosts but also demons!
Standing behind Xu Yang, he cautiously said, “Master Xu… How about I come again tomorrow?”
ii
Sure.”
Xu Yang nodded and said, “I will draw the talisman for you today, and you can pick it up tomorrow.”
“What about the incense money?”
“As your heart desires.”
After Wan Baolu left, Xu Yang asked, “What brings the two of you to my shop today?”
Bai Wei stepped forward and said, “Master Xu, we’re here today to seek your help.”
Oh?
Xu Yang’s heart stirred.
Seeking help?
Is it to ask him for ghost-catching?
That was exactly what he wanted, but of course, Xu Yang wouldn’t show it on his face, and smiled, “You must be joking? There are many experts in your Spirits Management Bureau. How can 1 be of any help to you?”
Bai Wei and Wang Lin exchanged glances.
A bitter smile flashed across their faces.
Wang Lin said, “Master Xu doesn’t know… Though there are many experts in our Spirits Management Bureau, our resources are stretched thin when distributed across the country. Especially in the past two years, supernatural incidents are on the rise everywhere. Our Wu City squadron members are busy running around all day, with many cases left unattended.”
“Moreover, Daoist skills are difficult to master.”
“Our Spirits Management Bureau, in collaboration with major Daoist factions, founded six Daoist academies over twenty years ago… But the path of Daoist cultivation relies heavily on talent, and if the talent is lacking, one can’t even get started.”
“Even if the talent is good, it still takes nearly 10 years to master the skills.”
“Those who have mastered the skills may be recruited by the Daoist factions… The number of people allocated to our Spirits Management Bureau every year is very limited.”
Wang Lin complained to Xu Yang, “Master Xu, I’m not ashamed to say it… In our Supernatural Affairs Bureau, a department specialized in catching ghosts and exorcising demons, 90% of the members are martial artists.”
Bai Wei glared at Wang Lin to stop his ramblings and stated the purpose of their visit, “Master Xu, we came to you today because we have no other choice… We have recently encountered a case that is very difficult to handle. As a Daoist expert, you specialize in catching ghosts, so we would like to ask for your assistance.”
“This…”
Another chance for me to accumulate merit!
Xu Yang was overjoyed in his heart but put on a troubled expression on his face, “My Dao skills are mediocre, and my cultivation is only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Realm. I’m afraid it’s very difficult for me to help you, right?”
Qi Refining Realm…
Sixth level?
Wang Lin and Bai Wei flashed a surprised look on their faces.
Last time they met, wasn’t it just at the fourth level of the Qi Refining Realm?
In just a few days, he had broken through two levels?
This way, there’s a higher chance that we can solve this case!
Bai Wei was delighted and said, “Master Xu, rest assured, we won’t let you put yourself in danger. You only need to help us find clues and capture the malevolent being… We won’t let you work for nothing.”
“We have a special budget in the Spirits Management Bureau. If people from the martial world can help us catch ghosts and exorcise demons, they can get a proportionate amount of bonus according to the level of the malevolent beings.”
Not only earning merit, but also getting bonuses…
This is just fantastic!
Xu Yang waved his hand and said indifferently, “There’s no need to mention the bonus for now. I, Xu Yang, am a cultivator, and it’s my duty to subdue demons, exorcise ghosts, and ward off evil…. Just tell me, what kind of case is it?”
