“Big Sister Bai, I don’t think I need something like a money pouch. And as for clothes, what I’m wearing is 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 glanced down at his outfit—a casual set of clothes that felt quite comfortable.
As for the money pouch, Shui Miao felt it was completely useless. He rarely shopped in this ghostly realm, and today’s occasional help with house blessing might not even lead to a second time. Besides, he didn’t have any money on him. Carrying an empty money pouch around was just pointless—unless he was bored out of his mind.
“Hehe, soon you won’t think that way anymore,” Bai Feng chuckled, then dragged Shui Miao into Lingbao Hall.
As soon as they entered, Shui Miao’s eyes lit up. The first impression was that it was huge, bustling, and filled with treasures—and even more beautiful female ghosts!
Immediately, two female ghosts wearing bright red cheongsams approached. Their figures were curvaceous, their faces stunningly beautiful and seductive enough to steal one’s breath. Their cheongsams seemed a size too small, hugging their ample curves tightly, and worst of all—the slit on the side of the dress went all the way up to the waist! As they walked, the swaying motion revealed large swaths of smooth, white thighs, making it hard not to steal glances, even tempting one to rip off the little fabric that remained.
Shui Miao sighed inwardly. Who knew female ghosts could be so enticing.
“Step aside!”
Bai Feng snapped, waving her hand and instantly forcing the two female ghosts back.
“They’re frauds. They look beautiful and seductive on the surface, but they’re just trying to enchant men and swindle them of money,” Bai Feng warned Shui Miao with a cold glance around. Other than the high-level ghosts near the treasure counters, most spirits here were weak. At least compared to Bai Feng, who had hundreds of years of cultivation, there were very few ghosts who could rival her.
So, with one move, Bai Feng easily made most ghosts step aside respectfully.
The two reckless female ghosts were so frightened they dared not approach again.
Shui Miao glanced at the two female ghosts, then quickly turned his eyes elsewhere. Truth be told, those seductive beauties had indeed stirred his desires. To his shock, he realized that even as a soul, he could still get an erection!
The inside of Lingbao Hall was surprisingly vast. Though it looked small from the outside, it was like a massive shopping mall inside.
“Big Sister Bai, why does this Lingbao Hall look small from the outside but so big inside?”
Curious, Shui Miao asked softly.
Bai Feng, still pulling him toward a large money pouch counter, replied in a low voice, “Because Lingbao Hall itself is a spatial spiritual treasure. A spatial spiritual treasure means it looks small from the outside but is actually vast inside. Just like the wallet I use to carry ghost coins—it appears like a bracelet, 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 intrigued.
“Hehe, wallets aren’t that special. Lingbao Hall has even better treasures, but unfortunately, I don’t have enough ghost coins,” Bai Feng said as she pointed at a dark-looking ring on display. “How much space does this ring have, and how much does it cost?”
Behind the counter stood a female ghost with a well-defined face and a muscular, busty figure, wearing a sexy leather outfit. She held up three fingers indifferently, eyeing Bai Feng briefly before turning her gaze to Shui Miao. As she stared at him, her eyes suddenly turned fiery: “Young man, are you a celestial immortal?”
This ghost might look ordinary, but she was actually an ancient ghost with over six hundred years of existence.
“…”
Shui Miao didn’t know how to respond and turned to Bai Feng for help.
Bai Feng narrowed her eyes at the muscular female ghost and suddenly smiled: “Didn’t realize you’ve cultivated Yang energy. You must be planning to do business in the Celestial Realm, right? That’s great. My younger brother is indeed a half-immortal. If you’re going to stare at my brother so intensely, are you trying to exchange your most valuable ring for some Yang Holy Spirit?”
For ghosts, Yang Holy Spirit was extremely rare.
Ghosts couldn’t ascend to the Celestial Realm unless they cultivated Yang energy into Celestial Power.
This muscular female ghost had already cultivated Yang energy, though she was still far from Celestial Power.
Therefore, she sought Yang Holy Spirit.
This ring was forged from Black冥 Stone, a high-grade spiritual treasure possessing spatial attributes. Bai Feng had wanted to purchase it for Shui Miao, but it was too expensive. She only had one trillion ghost coins remaining, so she thought of having Shui Miao exchange Yang Holy Spirit with this Yang-energy-cultivating ghost.
“Exactly! That’s exactly what I meant. Wait, I actually have an even better treasure. It’s a new item crafted by Master Yue Peng, the great forger of the Netherworld!” The muscular female ghost hurriedly reached into her deep cleavage, pulled out a shiny white ring, and handed it to Bai Feng. “Beauty, you must be a connoisseur. This is called the Holy Yuan Ring. It has three thousand square spaces. You can even store a yin mansion castle inside. Plus, it has the ability to awaken spirits. It’s a top-tier treasure indeed!”
“Big Sister Bai, what does ‘awakening spirits’ mean?”
Shui Miao couldn’t help but glance several times at the muscular female ghost’s cleavage, where it seemed a mysterious egg-shaped treasure was hidden.
“Awakening spirits means activating the soul of the ring with your own soul, merging your soul with the ring,” Bai Feng explained while examining the ring. She closed her eyes briefly to sense the space inside, then smiled slightly at the muscular female ghost: “It’s indeed the Holy Yuan Ring, but unfortunately, we can’t afford it.” Bai Feng returned the Holy Yuan Ring and pointed at another ring inside the counter, one that looked like a jade thumb ring: “Forget it, I’ll just buy this cheaper one.”
“No problem, no problem! We can negotiate the price further. How about a Yang Holy Spirit the size of an egg?” The muscular female ghost’s eyes widened as she kept switching her gaze between Shui Miao and Bai Feng.
Want to read my mind? Not so fast! Shui Miao deliberately squinted and stayed silent, inspecting other rings.
“Big Sister, your Yang energy cultivation must still be shallow. Do you think my younger brother’s Yang Holy Spirit is ordinary? Take a good look. This is the purest Yang Holy Spirit, forcibly extracted from a celestial immortal’s dantian after killing him in a raid.” Bai Feng smiled, lowering her voice even more. “Big Sister, everyone knows the hardest thing to obtain in the ghost realm is anything related to immortals. You’re asking for an egg-sized Yang Holy Spirit? That’s way too much. Even three Holy Yuan Rings wouldn’t be enough for that. Not to mention this is the purest Yang Holy Spirit—an invaluable treasure even celestial immortals crave. Do you really understand all this?”
“…”
The muscular female ghost was momentarily stunned. She quickly approached Shui Miao and sniffed him carefully. “So pure! It’s really pure!”
She looked like someone addicted to drugs.
Bai Feng pulled Shui Miao aside, preventing the muscular female ghost from sniffing him further, and smiled faintly: “Big Sister, why don’t you offer a reasonable, affordable price? We can cooperate more in the future. My younger brother can bring you more treasures from the Celestial Realm. Wouldn’t that be better?”
“Great!”
The muscular female ghost excitedly slapped her thigh. “I’m definitely making 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 ghost coins?”
“No way. At least fifty trillion ghost coins.”
Bai Feng was a master negotiator. She knew Yang Holy Spirit was priceless, so she pushed hard for a better deal.
Fifty trillion ghost coins was a terrifying amount.
If converted into human currency, it would be equivalent to fifty million.
“Ten trillion, no more.”
The muscular female ghost waved her hand.
Bai Feng coldly shook her head. “Five million, not a penny less.”
“Then, how about twenty trillion?”
The muscular female ghost looked at Bai Feng hopefully.
Bai Feng firmly refused. “No. I say five million, and that’s final.”
“Fine, thirty trillion. I really don’t have any more,” the muscular female ghost bit her lip, clearly running low on funds.
Bai Feng frowned slightly. “Alright then, thirty trillion. The remaining twenty trillion will be exchanged for rings.”
“Oh, little sister! You’re really good at bargaining! I give up. Fine, fine, we’ll go with that!” The muscular female ghost felt the pain but ultimately accepted, all for the Yang Holy Spirit.
“Great, deal. Little brother, prepare a Yang Holy Spirit the size of a soybean,” Bai Feng patted Shui Miao’s shoulder. She appeared calm on the surface, but inside she was extremely excited. She had never engaged in such a profitable trade before. Just now, she had spent one million ghost coins at the ghostly housing office, and now she had earned thirty trillion and many rings. It was a real fortune.
Shui Miao nodded, his mind shifting, and he summoned a Yang Holy Spirit the size of a soybean from his spiritual realm.
Seeing the Yang Holy Spirit, the muscular female ghost quickly placed her spatial ring into the Holy Yuan Ring and handed both to Bai Feng.
After Bai Feng confirmed everything was in order, Shui Miao handed the Yang Holy Spirit to the muscular female ghost. She sniffed it, then happily rolled up her counter into her chest storage space and rushed off to cultivate.
“Come, little brother, put the ring on.”
Bai Feng gently took Shui Miao’s hand and solemnly placed the ring on his ring finger. As he felt his finger being adorned by Bai Feng, Shui Miao felt particularly awkward. What was going on in her mind? Why the ring finger? What did it mean? Was she trying to take advantage of him?
Compared to Bai Feng, who had lived five hundred years, Shui Miao was indeed a tender young piece of tofu.
“Alright, now you awaken it.”
Bai Feng smiled sweetly, her face suddenly brimming with feminine charm.
Seeing Bai Feng’s sudden allure, Shui Miao couldn’t help but feel a stir in his heart. He took the Black Ming Stone ring and also took Bai Feng’s hand, placing the ring on her ring finger…
