Ghost Realm River View Room 6

The powerful figures in the underworld exchanged bewildered glances, and then each of them spoke up, offering some promotional points that Xie Guijin considered utterly useless. Clearly, due to the nature of their work, these bigwigs were not adept at this kind of thing.

"What are your thoughts?" Emperor Fengdu asked Xie Guijin directly.

"Me?" Xie Guijin felt a chill run down her spine as all the ghost officials in the hall looked at her. She forced herself to say, "I do have some ideas, but I don't know if that would break the rules of the ghost realm?"

The Emperor of Fengdu said calmly, "Speak freely."

"The Ghost Realm has special authority and cannot allow outsiders to enter the Underworld without cause. For example, the Styx Warm Jade Spring is beneficial to the cultivation and healing of beings in the Six Realms, but it is a pity that beings from other realms cannot enter the Ghost Realm to use it and bring benefits to the Ghost Realm. If a small amount could be drawn out and poured into the backyard of a newly built house, it would definitely attract beings from all realms to compete to buy it."

Seeing that none of the ghost officials objected, Xie Guijin then uttered a treasonous idea.

Upon hearing this, the ghost officials exchanged bewildered glances with complex expressions.

The Emperor of Fengdu made the decision: "No destruction, no construction. I can let you try it first."

Xie Guijin bowed and agreed.

The Emperor of Fengdu then said, “Everyone has official duties to attend to, so please go ahead and do your work. The Crossing Ghost Messenger, please stay behind.”

The ghost officials took their leave.

The Emperor of Fengdu instructed Xie Guijin: "When you go to negotiate, remember to be mindful of the two words: evil spirits can be punished, but they must not be humiliated."

"Yes, I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured," Xie Guijin bowed.

The next instant, all the injuries, big and small, she had suffered in the City of the Wrongfully Dead were healed.

Xie Guijin looked up in surprise.

On the high platform, the Emperor of Fengdu said, "You are going to represent the Ghost Realm, how can you go with injuries? Go, do your job well, and don't cause any more trouble."

Xie Guijin hurriedly agreed to take her leave.

Outside the palace, King Biancheng was clinging to Beidou Jun as they walked together. King Biancheng leaned close to Beidou Jun's face and said, "You are indeed willing to put in the effort for her. I suppose the Great Emperor has already healed her wounds. Now even I can't pursue the matter any further."

Beidou Jun flicked his sleeve, unleashing a surge of spiritual energy that forced King Biancheng to dodge.

"Hey, why are you so easily teased?" King Biancheng said shamelessly while dodging the question with ease.

Xie Guijin, who had just left the palace, saw this scene from afar and couldn't help but smile knowingly. Then she activated the jade talisman and headed to the Demon Realm to request an audience with the Demon Lord.

Since she came representing the entire Ghost Realm, the Demon Lord would naturally see her immediately.

After Xie Guijin explained his purpose, the Demon Lord sent his servants to summon the sixth princess of the Demon Realm.

The sixth princess was stunningly beautiful, with a dark purple thorn demonic mark faintly visible on her forehead, a dual symbol of her profound magical power and royal bloodline in the demon realm.

The Demon Lord first said to Xie Guijin, "These matters are now being handled by my daughter. The envoy can discuss them with her."

He then said to the Sixth Princess, "The envoy has come from afar, so you must treat him well and not neglect him."

"Father, rest assured, I will certainly live up to your expectations," the Sixth Princess said, bowing.

Then, the Sixth Princess straightened up, turned to Xie Guijin, pointed to the door and said, "Please, envoy."

Xie Guijin first curtsied and said, "You're too kind, Princess." Then she took her leave of the Demon Lord.

She followed the Sixth Princess to the study in the side hall of the Demon Palace.

The demon and the ghost took their seats and immediately got down to business.

After hearing Xie Guijin say that the Ghost Realm intended to sell its houses to various realms, the Sixth Princess readily agreed, "I will immediately order my demon servants to post notices throughout the Ghost Realm to promote this."

"Princess, please be patient and let me finish." Xie Guijin smiled slightly and said, "The first batch of houses will have the warm jade spring water from the Styx River introduced into the backyard to make small hot spring pools. Soaking in them will have miraculous effects on the cultivation and healing of beings in the Six Realms. After the spring water is drawn out, it can be used for about seven years. After that, if needed, it will be necessary to purchase it from the Ghost Realm to use the spring water again."

To prevent the spring from drying up, purchases require approval from the ghost realm, and the first batch of buyers of the houses have priority in purchasing.

The Sixth Princess nodded and said, "Okay, I will add these to the announcement."

"As expected, no matter how good the water from the Styx Warm Jade Spring is, it's not enough to move the Demon Princess," Xie Guijin thought to herself.

"Princess, I've heard that the cultivation methods in the Demon Realm are unique, requiring one to improve and solidify their cultivation through actual combat. However, the Six Realms have been at peace for a long time now, with no wars. Even when sparring, it's only to a draw, which has affected the cultivation of many demons in the Demon Realm. I wonder if this is true or not?" Xie Guijin asked cautiously.

The sixth princess narrowed her eyes, and instead of answering, asked, "What does the envoy mean by this?"

"Princess, please don't misunderstand. I have no other intentions." Xie Guijin said with a warm and non-aggressive smile, "I suppose the princess knows that the Ghost Realm has eighteen levels of hell to deal with evil spirits and deter the beings of the Six Realms from committing crimes. However, as time goes by, the deterrent effect has weakened. Those tortures have gradually lost their meaning of punishment for the evil spirits who are being tortured countless times."

The sixth princess's eyes softened slightly, replaced by a hint of interest as she said, "Please explain in detail, envoy."

"The Ghost Realm is willing to release evil spirits. The homebuyers and their visiting relatives and friends can fight against the evil spirits within the barrier along the River of Oblivion as a new punishment for them," Xie Guijin said, while subtly observing the Sixth Princess's reaction.

The Sixth Princess clapped her hands and laughed loudly, "This is a good idea!"

"But would those old fogies in the Ghost Realm agree?" the Sixth Princess asked doubtfully.

“Of course there are conditions,” Xie Guijin said with a sense of relief. “First, if you want to fight, you must apply to the Ghost Realm and you cannot make unreasonable demands such as choosing specific evil ghosts.”

Second, one must not use the pretext of fighting to release evil spirits.

Third, during the fight, one must not actually kill the evil spirits, nor humiliate or absurd them for amusement.

Fourth, during the fight, the Ghost Realm will send ghost officials to supervise within the barrier. Outside the barrier, beings from all six realms are allowed to watch the battle, but they are not allowed to use magic or magical artifacts to interfere with the ghost officials or onlookers.

Fifth, spectators are not allowed to enter the barrier to participate in the battle.

Sixth, when applying, one must sign a life-or-death agreement with the ghost realm. If one is unable to defeat the evil spirits and is injured or maimed in the fight, the ghost realm will not be responsible. If one dies due to not cooperating with the ghost officials to save them, the ghost realm will refuse to be responsible.

Seventh, anyone who violates the above terms will be considered an enemy of the entire Ghost Realm, and the Ghost Realm will certainly spare no effort to hold them accountable.

Upon hearing this, the Sixth Princess said solemnly, "That is exactly right."

"Why doesn't the princess become the first demon in the demon realm to buy a house? After all, it's up to the princess to decide who gets to experience it. We don't even know when the second batch of houses will go on sale," Xie Guijin suggested with a smile.

The Sixth Princess laughed heartily and said, "Envoy, there's no need to be so subtle. Everyone in the Six Realms knows that I have never hidden my ambition to become the Demon Lord."

"In that case, I congratulate the princess in advance on winning the hearts of the demon realm's people," Xie Guijin said, cupping his hands in greeting.

“The envoy certainly knows how to talk,” the Sixth Princess said with a smile. “I will buy this house.”

"Your Highness is very generous. I will send the deed to the house later. Please accept it with a smile." Xie Guijin also said with a smile.

The Sixth Princess waved her hand and said, "You're too kind, Envoy. Have any envoys from the other realms visited?"

"When I first had the idea, I mentioned it to the Empress of the Human Realm. Once the matter was settled, I only came to the Demon Realm," Xie Guijin said, understanding the implied meaning. "The rulers of the other realms may spread the word about this in their respective territories. There is always a first-come, first-served order in everything. I will go back to the Ghost Realm to get the house deed for the princess before I go to the other realms."

The Sixth Princess felt even more that Xie Guijin was a wise woman.

The demon and the ghost chatted happily, their atmosphere lively.

Xie Guijin then said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask the princess to grant my request."

"Please speak, envoy," the Sixth Princess hurriedly said.

"The Blood Bone Grass of the Demon Realm can heal the wounds of the soul body when applied externally to the Ghost Clan. The Ghost Realm wants to reach a trade for this medicine with the Demon Realm. I wonder if the princess can facilitate this matter?"

Xie Guijin had no intention of taking advantage of the Demon Realm. She continued, "If the princess is willing, I will send some special medicinal herbs from the Ghost Realm later. The princess may ask the physicians of the Demon Realm to try them out and see if there are any herbs that are particularly effective for the injuries and illnesses of the demon race. We can also trade with each other in the future. As the saying goes, mutual benefit is the only way to ensure long-term success."

"The envoy's ideas are so comprehensive, I will do my best to make it happen," the Sixth Princess readily agreed.

Xie Guijin knew that this statement was based on the premise that the medicinal herbs from the Ghost Realm were indeed useful to the Demon Realm, but the fact that the Sixth Princess had this attitude was a good start.

Having finished discussing the important matters, Xie Guijin took her leave.

Soon after, Xie Guijin returned with two boxes, one containing the house deed and the other containing medicinal herbs.

The Sixth Princess had the witch accept the gift, and personally took two boxes and gave them to Xie Guijin.

She pointed to one of the larger boxes and said, "This contains 60,000 ghost coins, my down payment for a house. Please count it, Your Majesty."

"That won't be necessary. I trust the princess completely," Xie Guijin said with a smile.

The Sixth Princess did not insist, and pointed to another box, saying, "This is a gift from me to the Ghost Messenger. I hope the Ghost Messenger will accept it."

Before Xie Guijin could refuse, the Sixth Princess continued, "We hit it off immediately. This is just a small gift, nothing more. There will be many more opportunities to cooperate with the Ghost Messenger in the future, and I have a feeling that we have other connections. Please accept it and don't bother with empty formalities."

Since the Sixth Princess had said such things, Xie Guijin accepted it with a smile.

The Sixth Princess personally escorted Xie Guijin out of the Demon Palace.

Seeing that it was getting late and not suitable to visit other realm rulers, Xie Guijin returned to the Ghost Realm first.

Just now, Xie Guijin hurriedly returned to the Ghost Realm to report to Lord Beidou.

Beidou Junshi was surprised that Xie Guijin's trip went so smoothly. In addition to praising her, he personally wrote the house deed and promised Xie Guijin that he would build the house as soon as possible and take care of matters such as drawing out the warm jade spring water of the Styx River and the evil spirits going out to fight and be punished.

No sooner had Xie Guijin left with the house deed than Beidou Jun went to see the Emperor of Fengdu.

The Emperor of Fengdu was also very satisfied and summoned the ghost officials again to discuss the matter.

Building the house is easy; a single spell will suffice. The real challenge lies in determining the best location along the River of Oblivion to best meet all the necessary requirements.

What kind of houses are they built in? There are many different styles of houses in the ghost realm.

How much water from the Styx Warm Jade Spring should be drawn out? The goal is to meet the needs of homebuyers without harming the spring's source.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is a lot of preparation work to be done before sending the evil spirits into battle. It must be carefully planned and no mistakes can be made.

Xie Guijin, who was the greatest contributor, returned to the Fourth Palace. Upon hearing that Beidou Jun had not yet returned, she went back to her residence and opened the small box that the Sixth Princess had given her.
