“Big sister Bai, I don’t think I need something like a money bag. As for clothes, the ones I’m wearing are just fine.” Shui Miao didn’t want to accept Bai Feng’s gifts. After all, how could a man let a woman buy things for him?
He looked down at his clothes again—a casual outfit that was quite comfortable.
As for the money bag, Shui Miao felt it was utterly useless. He rarely bought things in this ghostly realm. Today’s occasional help with house settling might not even lead to a second time. Plus, he didn’t have any money on him. Carrying an empty money bag around wasn’t something he’d do unless he had nothing better to do.
“Hehe, soon you won’t think that way anymore,” Bai Feng smiled and pulled Shui Miao into Lingbao Hall.
As soon as they entered Lingbao Hall, Shui Miao’s eyes lit up. The first impression was that it was huge, bustling, and filled with treasures. Even more striking were the beautiful female ghosts!
Immediately, two female ghosts wearing bright red cheongsams approached. Their figures were curvaceous, their faces absolutely elegant and seductive enough to take one’s breath away. Their cheongsams seemed a size too small, tight enough to squeeze their ample chests, almost bursting out. Worst of all was the slit on the cheongsam—it practically reached their waists. As they walked, swaying their hips, large portions of their fair thighs were exposed, making it hard not to steal glances, and tempting one to rip off the excess fabric in front.
Shui Miao secretly sighed, realizing even female ghosts could be so seductive.
“Get lost!”
Bai Feng shouted in a low voice and waved her hand, immediately forcing the two female ghosts to retreat.
“They’re all frauds. They may look pretty and flirtatious on the surface, but they’re actually just trying to seduce men and scam them for money.” Bai Feng cast a cold glance around and softly warned Shui Miao. Except for some experts near the treasure counters, the other ghosts here were quite weak. At least for someone like Bai Feng, who had hundreds of years of cultivation, there weren’t many who could match her.
So, with just one move from Bai Feng, the ordinary ghosts wisely stepped aside.
The two unsuspecting female ghosts were even scared not to come near again.
Shui Miao glanced at the two female ghosts and quickly turned his gaze elsewhere. Indeed, such seductive and sexy beauties had stirred his interest. To his surprise, he realized that even his soul could react like a normal man’s!
Inside the Lingbao Hall was a world of its own. Though it didn’t seem large from the outside, inside it was as big as a super shopping mall.
“Big sister Bai, why does the Lingbao Hall look small from the outside but so big inside?”
Curious, Shui Miao softly asked.
While pulling Shui Miao toward a large money bag counter, Bai Feng quietly replied, “Because Lingbao Hall itself is a spatial treasure. A spatial treasure means it looks small from the outside but is actually huge inside. Just like the wallet I use to carry hell coins—it looks like a bracelet on the surface, but inside it’s as big as a room, capable of holding countless items.”
“That’s amazing!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred, and he couldn’t help but feel interested.
“Hehe, wallets are nothing special. Lingbao Hall has even better treasures, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough hell coins.” Arriving at the counter, Bai Feng pointed at a seemingly dull black ring and asked, “How much space does this ring have, and how much does it cost?”
Behind the counter stood a female ghost with regular features but a strong build and large chest. Dressed in a sexy leather outfit, she raised three fingers and casually examined Bai Feng before turning her gaze to Shui Miao. As she stared, her eyes turned passionate: “Young man, are you a celestial immortal?”
This female ghost might seem ordinary, but she was actually a super ancient ghost who had survived for over six hundred years.
“…”
Shui Miao didn’t know how to respond and looked to Bai Feng for help.
Bai Feng narrowed her eyes, looked at the strong female ghost, and suddenly smiled, “Didn’t realize you’ve cultivated Yang spiritual energy. You must be planning to do business in the immortal realm, right? That’s good. My younger brother is indeed a half-immortal. Looking at my younger brother so passionately, are you trying to exchange the most expensive ring for some Yang Holy Spirit from him?”
For ghosts, Yang Holy Spirit was extremely rare.
Ghosts couldn’t ascend to the immortal realm unless they cultivated Yang celestial energy.
This strong female ghost had already cultivated Yang spiritual energy, though she still had a way to go before reaching celestial energy.
Therefore, she desired Yang Holy Spirit.
This ring was forged from Black Hell Stone, a high-grade spiritual treasure space ring. Bai Feng wanted to buy it for Shui Miao, but it was too expensive. She only had one trillion hell coins, so she thought of having Shui Miao exchange Yang Holy Spirit with this female ghost who had cultivated Yang spiritual energy.
“Yes! That’s exactly what I meant. Wait, I have an even better treasure here—it’s a new item forged by Master Yue Peng, the great master of the Underworld!” The strong female ghost quickly reached into her deep cleavage, pulled out a shiny white ring, and handed it to Bai Feng. “Beauty, you should be someone who knows treasures. This is called the Holy Yuan Ring, with three thousand square spaces. You could even store a yin mansion castle inside. Plus, this ring also has the function of activating souls, making it a supreme treasure among treasures!”
“Big sister Bai, what does activating souls mean?”
Shui Miao couldn’t help but glance a few times at the cleavage of the strong female ghost, where it seemed a mysterious egg-shaped treasure was hidden.
“Activating souls means using one’s soul to awaken the soul of the ring, merging the soul with the ring as one.” Bai Feng looked at the ring, closed her eyes to sense the space inside, and then smiled slightly at the strong female ghost, “Indeed, it’s the Holy Yuan Ring, but unfortunately, we can’t afford it.” Bai Feng returned the Holy Yuan Ring to the strong female ghost and pointed at another ring inside the counter that looked like a jade ring finger, “Well then, I’ll just buy this cheaper one.”
“No problem, no problem! We can negotiate the price further! How about an egg-sized Yang Holy Spirit?” The strong female ghost’s eyes widened as she kept switching her gaze between Shui Miao and Bai Feng.
Want to read my mind? Not so easily! Shui Miao deliberately narrowed his eyes and remained silent, examining other rings.
“Sister Bai, I don’t think I really need a money pouch, do I? And as for clothes, what I’m wearing is fine.” Shui Miao didn’t want to accept Bai Feng’s gifts. As a man, how could he let a woman buy things for him?
He looked down at his outfit—a comfortable set of casual wear.
As for the money pouch, Shui Miao felt it was utterly useless. He rarely bought anything in this ghost realm anyway. Today was just a one-time thing—helping to settle a residence. Whether there would be a next time was hard to say. Besides, he had no money on him. Carrying an empty money pouch around seemed pointless, like he had nothing better to do.
“Heh, you won’t think that way for long.”
Bai Feng smiled and pulled Shui Miao into Lingbao Pavilion.
As soon as he stepped inside, Shui Miao’s eyes lit up. His first impression was that it was huge, bustling, filled with treasures, and even more beautiful female ghosts!
Two spectral women clad in form-fitting red cheongsams, their figures voluptuous and alluring, swiftly approached. Their faces were exquisitely beautiful, so mesmerizing that they could steal one’s breath away. The cheongsams they wore seemed a size too small, clinging tightly to their bodies and accentuating their ample bosoms to the point of near bursting. Most enticing was the high slit of the dress—reaching all the way up to the waist! With each step, the slit swayed, revealing long, pale, jade-like legs that were impossible not to gaze upon, almost tempting one to tear away the excess fabric obstructing the view.
Shui Miao inwardly marveled—who knew female ghosts could be so alluring?
“Back off!”
Bai Feng snapped coldly, waving her hand and forcing the two female ghosts to retreat.
“They’re all scammers. They may look pretty and seductive on the surface, but they’re just trying to bewitch men and swindle them out of their money,” Bai Feng whispered to Shui Miao, her eyes scanning the surroundings coldly. Aside from a few experts near the Lingbao counters, most ghosts here were weak. At least, few could match Bai Feng, who had centuries of cultivation.
With Bai Feng’s display of power, most ghosts wisely kept their distance.
The two female ghosts, now aware of the difference in strength, were too frightened to approach again.
Shui Miao glanced at them but quickly turned his attention elsewhere. He had to admit, such enchanting and seductive beauties had indeed stirred his interest. To his surprise, he realized that souls were just like living people—certain parts could still react!
Lingbao Pavilion was like a hidden world. From the outside, it seemed small, but inside, it resembled a massive shopping mall.
“Sister Bai, why does Lingbao Pavilion look small outside but so spacious inside?”
Curious, Shui Miao asked softly.
Bai Feng, pulling him toward a large counter displaying money pouches, replied in a low voice, “Because Lingbao Pavilion itself is a spatial treasure. Spatial treasures appear small on the outside but are vast inside. It’s like the pouch I use for spirit money—it looks like an ordinary bracelet, but it’s actually as large as a room inside, capable of holding countless items.”
“So miraculous!”
Shui Miao’s heart stirred with interest.
“Heh, money pouches are nothing. Lingbao Pavilion has even better treasures. It’s just a shame I don’t have enough spirit money anymore.” Bai Feng stopped at the counter and pointed to a dark, unassuming ring. “How much space does this ring have, and how much does it cost?”
“Three hundred square units of space. Fixed price—three thousand trillion.” Behind the counter stood a well-proportioned but robust female ghost with a large bust, dressed in a fiery leather outfit. She held up three fingers, glanced dismissively at Bai Feng, then turned her gaze to Shui Miao. Her eyes grew intense. “Young man, are you… an immortal?”
This female ghost might seem ordinary, but she was actually a super ghost who had lived for over six hundred years.
“…”
Shui Miao didn’t know how to respond and looked to Bai Feng for help.
Bai Feng narrowed her eyes, studying the robust female ghost, then suddenly smiled. “I didn’t notice—you’ve cultivated Yang-based spiritual energy. Planning to do business in the immortal realm, aren’t you? Well, you’re right. My brother here is a half-immortal. The way you’re eyeing him so intensely—are you hoping to trade your most valuable ring for some of his Pure Yang Essence?”
For ghosts, Pure Yang Essence was extremely rare.
Ghosts couldn’t enter the immortal realm unless they cultivated Yang-based immortal energy.
This robust female ghost had already cultivated Yang-based spiritual energy but was still short of achieving immortal energy.
Thus, she desperately needed Pure Yang Essence.
The ring was made of Dark Netherstone, a high-grade spatial treasure. Bai Feng wanted to buy it for Shui Miao, but the price was too steep. She only had a thousand trillion spirit money left, so she thought of having Shui Miao trade his Pure Yang Essence with this Yang-energy-cultivating female ghost.
“Yes, yes! That’s exactly what I meant! Wait here—I have an even better treasure, freshly crafted by the great forging master of the netherworld, Yue Peng!” The robust female ghost reached into her deep cleavage and pulled out a gleaming white ring, handing it to Bai Feng. “Beauty, you seem like someone who knows her stuff. This is the Saint Yuan Ring. It has three thousand square units of space—you could even fit a Yin mansion castle inside! Plus, this ring has a spirit-activation function. It’s truly top-tier among treasures!”
“Sister Bai, what does ‘spirit-activation’ mean?”
Shui Miao couldn’t help but sneak a few more glances at the female ghost’s cleavage, where something egg-shaped seemed to be hidden.
“Spirit-activation means using your soul to awaken the ring’s spirit, merging your soul with the ring,” Bai Feng explained. She examined the ring, closed her eyes to sense its spatial capacity, then smiled at the robust female ghost. “It is indeed the Saint Yuan Ring, but unfortunately, we can’t afford it.” She returned the ring and pointed to another ring in the counter, one that looked like a jade thumb ring. “Forget it, I’ll just take this cheaper one.”
“Wait, wait! We can negotiate the price! How about I trade it for a piece of Pure Yang Essence the size of a soybean?” The robust female ghost’s eyes widened, darting between Shui Miao and Bai Feng.
Trying to read me? Not that easy! Shui Miao deliberately narrowed his eyes and remained silent, examining the other rings.
“Elder Sister, your Yang-energy cultivation must not be deep enough. Do you think the Pure Yang Essence my brother possesses is ordinary? Look closely—this is the purest form, seized directly from an immortal’s dantian after they were vanquished.” Bai Feng kept her voice low, shaking her head. “Elder Sister, everyone knows how hard it is to obtain immortal artifacts in our ghost realm. Asking for a soybean-sized portion of Pure Yang Essence in exchange for just one Saint Yuan Ring? That’s daylight robbery! This level of purity is something even immortals crave. Do you even understand its value?”
“…”
The robust female ghost was stunned. She leaned closer to Shui Miao, sniffing carefully. “So pure! It really is incredibly pure!”
She looked as though she were indulging in an addictive drug.
Bai Feng pulled Shui Miao aside, preventing the female ghost from getting any closer. She smiled faintly. “Elder Sister, why don’t you lower the price? Give us a fair deal, and we can collaborate more in the future. My brother can bring you more treasures from the immortal realm. Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Deal!”
The robust female ghost slapped her thigh excitedly. “I’ve decided to befriend you and your brother. Here’s my offer: give me a soybean-sized portion of Pure Yang Essence, and I’ll give you the Saint Yuan Ring plus five thousand trillion spirit money. How does that sound?”
“Not enough. At least fifty thousand trillion spirit money.”
Bai Feng was a skilled negotiator. She knew Pure Yang Essence was priceless and in high demand, so she drove a hard bargain.
Fifty thousand trillion spirit money was an astronomical amount.
But if converted into mortal currency, it would be around fifty million.
“Ten thousand trillion, not a penny more,” the robust female ghost insisted, waving her hand.
Bai Feng smirked and shook her head. “Fifty thousand trillion. Not a penny less.”
“Then… how about twenty thousand trillion?” the robust female ghost pleaded, looking hopeful.
Bai Feng coldly refused. “No. I don’t negotiate.”
“Fine, thirty thousand trillion. I really don’t have more than that,” the robust female ghost gritted her teeth, clearly stretched to her limit.
Bai Feng frowned. “Alright, thirty thousand trillion. But the remaining twenty thousand trillion must be exchanged for rings.”
“Ah, little sister! You drive a hard bargain! I yield, I yield! Deal, it’s a deal!” The robust female ghost winced in pain but had no choice—she needed the Pure Yang Essence.
“Good, it’s settled. Little Brother, prepare a soybean-sized portion of Pure Yang Essence.” Bai Feng patted Shui Miao’s shoulder. Outwardly calm, she was inwardly ecstatic. She had never made such a profitable trade before! Earlier, settling the residence at the Ghost Bureau had only cost a thousand spirit money. Now, she had just earned thirty thousand trillion, plus a bunch of rings. They had struck gold.
Shui Miao nodded, focused his mind, and summoned a soybean-sized portion of Pure Yang Essence from his mental realm.
Seeing the essence, the robust female ghost quickly packed her spatial rings into the Saint Yuan Ring and handed it to Bai Feng.
After Bai Feng verified everything was in order, Shui Miao handed over the Pure Yang Essence. The female ghost sniffed it, ecstatic, then swiftly packed her counter into a storage space hidden in her cleavage and dashed off to cultivate.
“Here, Little Brother, put the ring on.”
Bai Feng gently took Shui Miao’s hand and solemnly slipped the ring onto his ring finger. Seeing the ring placed there, Shui Miao felt incredibly awkward. What was this older sister thinking? Why did it have to be the ring finger? What was she implying? Was she trying to take advantage of him?
Compared to Bai Feng, who had lived for five hundred years, Shui Miao was indeed a “tender piece of tofu.”
“Alright, now activate its spirit.”
Bai Feng smiled sweetly, suddenly displaying a girlish charm.
Captivated by her sudden allure, Shui Miao focused his mind, retrieved the Dark Netherstone ring, took Bai Feng’s hand, and slipped it onto her ring finger…
“…”
The strong female ghost was momentarily stunned. She quickly approached Shui Miao and sniffed carefully, “So pure! It’s really pure!”
Her expression was like someone inhaling drugs.
Bai Feng pulled Shui Miao aside to prevent the strong female ghost from sniffing further and smiled faintly, “Big sister, how about you give us a reasonable price? We can cooperate more in the future. My younger brother can bring more treasures from the immortal realm. Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Great!”
The strong female ghost excitedly slapped her thigh, “I’ve definitely made friends with you and your younger brother. How about this: you give me a Yang Holy Spirit the size of a soybean, and I’ll give you the Holy Yuan Ring plus five trillion hell coins?”
“No, at least fifty trillion hell coins.”
Bai Feng was also a master negotiator. Knowing that Yang Holy Spirit was priceless, she tried her best to haggle.
Fifty trillion hell coins was a terrifying number.
But if converted to money used by the living, it was still as much as five billion.
“Ten trillion, no more.” The strong female ghost waved her hand.
Bai Feng coldly shook her head, “Five billion, not a penny less.”
“What about twenty billion?” The strong female ghost looked at Bai Feng hopefully.
Bai Feng firmly refused, “No, I say one thing and I stick to it.”
“Then, thirty billion? I really don’t have any more.” The strong female ghost gritted her teeth, clearly indicating she was indeed short on funds.
Bai Feng frowned, “Alright then, thirty billion. The remaining twenty billion will all be converted into rings.”
“Oh, little sister! You sure know how to haggle! I give up. Alright, alright, we’ll make the deal!” The strong female ghost felt a pang of pain but decided to accept for the sake of Yang Holy Spirit.
“Good, deal. Little brother, prepare a Yang Holy Spirit the size of a soybean.” Bai Feng patted Shui Miao’s shoulder. Though she appeared calm on the surface, she was extremely excited inside. She had never made such a transaction before, and it was such a great deal! She had just earned thirty billion hell coins and many rings after spending only one million hell coins at the ghost house office. What a fortune!
Shui Miao nodded, his mind flickering, and he moved a Yang Holy Spirit the size of a soybean out from his realm.
Seeing the Yang Holy Spirit, the strong female ghost quickly placed her space ring into the Holy Yuan Ring and handed them both to Bai Feng.
After Bai Feng checked everything was fine, Shui Miao handed the Yang Holy Spirit to the strong female ghost. She sniffed it and then excitedly rolled up her counter and stored it in her chest’s storage space, rushing off to cultivate.
“Come on, little brother, put the ring on.”
Bai Feng gently took Shui Miao’s hand and solemnly placed the ring on his ring finger. Looking at his finger being adorned with a ring by Bai Feng, Shui Miao felt particularly awkward. What was going on in this older sister’s mind! Why did she have to choose the ring finger? What did it mean! Could it be she wanted to flirt with him?
Compared to Bai Feng, who had lived for five hundred years, Shui Miao was indeed a tender morsel.
“Alright, now you activate it.”
Bai Feng sweetly smiled, her face full of girlish charm.
Seeing Bai Feng suddenly so enchanting, Shui Miao couldn’t help but have a sudden thought. He took the Black Hell Stone ring and also took Bai Feng’s hand, placing the ring on her ring finger…
