Due to an accident, Xie Guijin fell into a coma and was on the verge of death when she unexpectedly bonded with a house-selling system. If she successfully completed house-selling missions across t...
Ghost Realm River View Room 7
Besides a stack of ghost money, there were also six plants. The leaves were dark red, and the veins resembled the patterns of white bones; they were Blood Bone Grass.
Xie Guijin took out the ghost money and blood bone grass, and led the bewildered Xue Linchuan to the ghost market.
It's past midnight now, and the ghost market is open for business.
Xie Guijin went straight to the clinic and gave all the ghost money and blood bone grass she had obtained to the clinic owner as an apology.
"You're too kind, sir. I'll accept the Blood Bone Grass for now, but please take the money back." The ghost shopkeeper held the Blood Bone Grass in one hand and pushed the ghost money back with the other.
Xie Guijin insisted on giving it.
"Blood Bone Grass is priceless. If I were to take your money, what kind of ghost would I be? No, no." The Ghost Shopkeeper repeatedly declined.
Upon hearing this, Xie Guijin had no choice but to accept the ghost money and stop arguing with the ghost shopkeeper.
She pushed Xue Linchuan in front of the shopkeeper and said, "Please find a doctor to examine my friend and see what's wrong with him? Why is he mentally impaired?"
"Sir, are you joking with me? This is clearly a spirit among the three souls; it's naturally stupid when separated from its body," the shopkeeper said, glancing at "Xue Linchuan" with surprise.
"What?" Xie Guijin exclaimed. Seeing the strange look in the shopkeeper's eyes, she quickly changed her words and said, "Oh dear, I'm probably just too tired lately and my vision is blurry. Please don't take offense, shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper was skeptical, but considering the Blood Bone Grass in his hand, he didn't say anything more and politely saw Xie Guijin out.
Xie Guijin led Xue Linchuan, a spirit lost and disoriented, through the bustling Ghost Market Street. She rummaged through the original owner's memories in her mind. The spirit is one of the three souls and seven spirits, and is the carrier of the emotions, desires, loves and hates of the beings in the six realms. If the spirit leaves the body for some reason and does not disperse, it is easy to turn into a ghost with deep obsessions.
"You mean," Xie Guijin asked the system uncertainly, "could this be the form of Xue Linchuan's lost memories when he came to this world?"
“Very likely,” the system simulated rubbing its chin, repeatedly agreeing.
If the guess is correct, then where exactly is Xue Linchuan's true form?
Xie Guijin had a sudden inspiration. If Xue Linchuan, like her, had the protection of the spirit of the Mingjia, and the Mingjia could sense that she was in the Ghost Realm and ask the Big Dipper Lord to protect her, then the Mingjia might also know where Xue Linchuan was.
Thinking of this, Xie Guijin immediately took Xue Linchuan Youjing to the Lieshan Divine Realm.
She thought that having changed her identity, it would be quite difficult to see the Shennong Emperor again. However, when she arrived, the divine attendant she had met before was guarding the entrance to the divine realm. Upon seeing her, he smiled and said, "The Emperor has already given instructions. Please make yourself at home, young lady."
Xie Guijin bowed respectfully, inquired about the location of the jasmine pod, and hurried off.
In the valley, the buds were hopping and playing under the moonlight. They were all very happy to see Xie Guijin and surrounded her.
It's unclear whether it's because Xue Linchuan's spirit is a ghost, or because this "Xue Linchuan" isn't the Xue Linchuan that the Mingjia people are familiar with, but he was left out in the cold.
One of the stalks shoved another, saying, "I told you Beidou-jun was reliable, but you didn't believe me."
Another stalk of succulent hopped aside and flew directly in front of Xie Guijin, saying, "Are you alright? We were almost scared to death."
"It's alright now," Xie Guijin said, holding it in both hands and expressing her heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you so much, otherwise I would have died. You are my saviors, ah, no, you are my benefactors."
The pods swayed their bodies and said one after another, "It was nothing, not worth mentioning."
They are of varying heights and sway in different directions, a lush green expanse that looks incredibly cute.
Xie Guijin was amused by the cuteness.
After the budding birds finished speaking, they started chattering again, asking Xie Guijin what danger she had encountered and why she was in danger.
Xie Guijin gave a brief explanation, and then explained her purpose.
The pods swayed and said, "That won't work. You can only activate the spirit of the pods to protect your bodies when you are facing life or death, so that we can sense your approximate location. It won't work at other times."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guijin could not hide her disappointment.
"Since we haven't noticed him, it means he's not in any life-threatening danger. Don't worry, we'll find her eventually," the jasmine trees were comforting Xie Guijin.
Suddenly, a stalk of a succulent pointed at Xue Linchuan's spirit and exclaimed, "Look! Has it faded?"
Xie Guijin looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Xue Linchuan's spirit seemed to have indeed become a little more transparent.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no, how could a ghost leave the ghost realm so easily? And he even came to the god realm, which is inherently dangerous! How could I be so stupid!"
After hastily bidding farewell to Mingjia, Xie Guijin tightly grabbed Xue Linchuan's spirit right arm and teleported back to the Ghost Realm, rushing into the clinic for help.
The innkeeper, a man of ill repute, was shocked: "It's only been a little over an hour, how could he be injured?"
Xie Guijin quickly explained to the arriving ghost doctor, afraid that it might not understand the reason and delay the treatment.
The ghost shopkeeper, who had been listening nearby, became even more suspicious, but he never asked Xie Guijin a question.
Once Xue Linchuan's condition stabilized somewhat, Xie Guijin was just relieved when a ghost messenger came to the clinic and said, "My lord, you're here! I've been looking for you for ages. His Majesty has returned and is looking for you."
Xie Guijin then entrusted Xue Linchuan's spirit to the medical clinic and went with the ghost messenger to see Beidou Jun.
Beidou Jun informed Xie Guijin that the five houses had been built and the Styx Warm Jade Spring had been drawn out. Further preparations were needed for the training of the evil spirits, and the houses would be ready for use in about two days.
Because the Styx Warm Jade Spring was successfully drawn out, the ghost officials agreed that the subsequent residence could feature other unique items from the ghost realm as selling points.
When Xie Guijin went to other realms again, she was instructed to inquire about their needs.
After all, the rulers of each realm know what unique things the Ghost Realm has, but it was just that they couldn't enter and use them before.
Xie Guijin readily agreed. Seeing that Beidou Jun had no further instructions, she finally spoke up what she had wanted to say but had been delayed by important matters: "My previous unauthorized entry into the City of the Wrongfully Dead was not due to distrust of Your Majesty. It was simply that I could not rest easy without taking a look. I hope Your Majesty will not take offense."
Beidou Jun paused for a moment and said, "I had completely forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. It's nothing, just human nature, and I can understand. Are you still holding a grudge because you regret it?"
"Yes," Xie Guijin said with shame, "If I hadn't gone to the City of the Wrongfully Dead that day, and had successfully completed the task of selling the house, I wouldn't have almost killed the ghosts that were transformed from the spirits of Xue Linchuan and me. After all, it had been safe and sound in the City of the Wrongfully Dead for so many days, and it wouldn't have made such a big mistake by killing so many evil spirits in the City of the Wrongfully Dead."
"It has caused chaos and broken the law, constantly shortening my mission time. I will have to go and receive punishment. I don't know if I will be able to find Xue Linchuan's true form in the end." Xie Guijin said regretfully, "If I had listened to the emperor back then, I wouldn't be in this predicament today. It's all my own fault, and I've even implicated others."
Upon hearing this, Beidou Jun coldly replied, "It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Focus on your work and don't overthink it."
"Yes," Xie Guijin replied respectfully and took her leave.
“Wait a moment,” Beidou Jun said again, “It’s not dawn yet. Although the other realms, except for the human realm, don’t need to sleep, it’s still not a good time to go now. Wait until 9 AM to go.”
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty."
“There are still a few hours left. Your body is a ghost, but your soul is human. If you want to sleep, go and sleep for a while. If you don’t want to sleep, it’s good to wander around the ghost realm. After all, you’re already here, and you might not have this opportunity again.” Beidou-jun said, then suddenly asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
"Uh, it's nothing," Xie Guijin explained, "It's just that the words sound like something our human race would say. Why would Your Majesty say that too?"
"What's so strange about that? I am also of human origin," Beidou Jun said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"Ah, I was unaware, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Beidou waved his hand and said, "What's so strange about this? Alright, go ahead."
Xie Guijin was not sleepy. She was now a Ghost Messenger who crossed realms, and she was an official of some rank. She had many places to visit in the Ghost Realm. As long as she ignored all kinds of ghosts and treated the Ghost Realm as a tourist attraction, it was quite nice.
Seeing Xie Guijin strolling around happily, the system asked in confusion, "Host, aren't you going to find Xue Linchuan?"
"I'm not looking anymore."
"Oh, why?"
"Didn't you hear me talking to Beidou-kun?"
"I heard that, but what does that have to do with you not looking for Xue Linchuan?" The system was increasingly puzzled.
“Beidou-jun made it very clear that it knows where Xue Linchuan’s true form is, but for some reason it can’t tell me directly. Perhaps it’s afraid that if it tells me, I will go there again, and in its view, my going there will probably cause trouble again.” Xie Guijin said sullenly, “And this is very likely to become a reality.”
“If I cause any more trouble, I’m afraid it will be hard to clean up the mess,” Xie Guijin sighed. “Rather than that, it’s better to wait until I complete the mission and get the reward.”
The system reminded you: "But you still have to be punished. Are you sure that by selling the house, you can not only exempt King Biancheng from your punishment, but also bring Xue Linchuan's true form back to your side?"
"That's a bit uncertain. You're right, we need to plan this out." Xie Guijin stopped, her eyes brightening, and said confidently.
She turned and went to the ghost market, where she used the ghost money given to her by the sixth princess of the demon realm to buy some unique but not expensive trinkets.
At 9:00 AM, Xie Guijin went to the Demon Realm to see the Sixth Princess and gave her the gift he had just bought.
Then they went to the realm of gods, the realm of immortals, and the realm of demons in that order.
These rulers of the various realms had no interest in buying a house in the Ghost Realm at this moment, but they were very interested in the Ghost Realm's willingness to bring out other things, and all suggested some items that they hoped could be brought out to be placed in the subsequent residences.
Xie Guijin noted them down carefully.
The rulers of each realm also indicated that they would immediately issue an order to publicize the sale of houses in the Ghost Realm within their respective realms. Those who were interested should first register in their respective realms, and then at midnight, Xie Guijin would take them to the Ghost Realm for an on-site inspection before deciding whether to purchase.
Xie Guijin held friendly meetings with the leaders from all walks of life and finalized cooperation agreements.
She eventually reached the human realm.
After understanding, the Empress said, "I don't need to go. Just send me the house deeds after you finish your work in the other realms. We'll exchange money for the house deeds then, and I'll help you complete your mission."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Xie Guijin said gratefully.
The Empress said gently, "No need to be so polite. Now that you understand, how about it?"
