Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Xu Jinhuan looked at Master Lin speechlessly. "Your gift is really simple and unpretentious, yet reasonable."
Seeing that Lord Ghost remained silent, Third Master Lin belatedly realized that Lord Ghost was dissatisfied with his suggestion.
He scratched his head in confusion. Could it be that the older generation was wrong? After a person dies, those yellow paper and paper figures are useless, and the ghosts can't really receive them?
As he thought this, he tentatively asked, "Master Ghost, what exactly do you need? Just tell me, and I will do my best to get it for you."
Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, "Take me to your warehouse where you receive the goods first."
She had previously emptied too many warehouses, collecting a bunch of things, useful and useless, and sorting them would take a long time, so Xu Jinhuan was now thinking of collecting things that she could actually use.
Master Lin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this; it turned out that even a ghost could use things that humans use.
Seeing that the Ghost Lord wanted him to choose for himself, he didn't dare to object and immediately nodded, then limped forward as if he intended to personally lead Xu Jinhuan to the storeroom.
"Third Master, why did you come out? The doctor hasn't arrived yet, please wait patiently a little longer." The guard looked at Third Master Lin in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Master Lin gave a wry smile. Now was not the time for him to be coy. If he didn't make that ghost master comfortable first, he was afraid he wouldn't live to see the sun rise tomorrow.
"It's alright, I can handle it. I suddenly remembered something I need to take care of. I need to go to the storeroom first. If the doctor comes, ask him to wait for me."
After hearing what Master Lin said, the guard glanced at him hesitantly, then pointed to the ground.
"Third Master, why don't you look down? That long knife is still stuck in your foot. Aren't you going to wait for the doctor?"
Because of the ups and downs in his mood just now, Master Lin had actually forgotten about the knife. He looked down at his poor feet and sighed helplessly.
Just as he was about to pull the long sword directly from his foot and show off his bravery and loyalty in front of the demon, the belated doctor finally ran over.
"Third...Third Master, you wanted to see me? Who...?"
The doctor was speaking breathlessly, and before he could finish, he saw the gleaming long knife on the instep of Master Lin.
"What happened? Quick, Third Master, please come inside. I'll pull the long knife out first, and then clean the wound," the doctor said anxiously.
Third Master Lin did not agree immediately, but subconsciously glanced at the void not far away, as if he wanted to get someone's permission.
"Go ahead, and hurry up," Xu Jinhuan said calmly.
After receiving permission, Third Master Lin immediately had his guards help him up and said to the doctor, "Doctor Li, please hurry, I have something important to do later."
Meanwhile, Doctor Li and the guards outside looked left and right but couldn't see the person who had spoken. They exchanged puzzled glances.
Recalling the strange legends about the ghost market, I couldn't help but shudder, silently praying for the protection of the Qilin God.
Because of this incident, the doctor Li who was invited was much more efficient than before. He quickly took out the long knife for Master Lin and applied the ointment to the wound.
The moment the bandage was finished, he grabbed his medicine kit and ran off like the wind, forgetting to even collect the consultation fee.
Looking at Doctor Li's fleeing figure with a strange expression, Third Master Lin said in confusion, "What's wrong with this guy today? He's usually the most greedy, but today he even forgot to collect the consultation fee."
Xu Jinhuan stood aside and said quietly, "I'm afraid you were scared by what I just said."
Upon hearing Lord Ghost speak, Master Lin forgot everything else and immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Thank you for giving me time to heal my injuries. I will take you to the storeroom now."
As the head of the Ghost Market, Master Lin still wields some power. For instance, when he takes Xu Jinhuan to the warehouse to retrieve something, he can erase all traces of the item after it's taken away.
Generally speaking, as long as it's not something so precious that it needs to be reported to Zhou, the richest man, he can get away with it.
Soon, the limping Third Master Lin led Xu Jinhuan to the warehouse of the Ghost Market.
"Master Gui, the first floor contains antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones. Are you interested?"
Xu Jinhuan thought of the treasures he had moved from the palace into his own space, and then looked at these antique items, which were ultimately inferior, and said indifferently.
"It's too ordinary."
Master Lin was surprised that this Ghost Lord had such high standards, not even liking the antiques that had been treasured in the Ghost Market for hundreds of years. He could only smile bitterly upon hearing this.
"Okay, let's look at the others then."
After saying that, Master Lin seemed to remember something and led Xu Jinhuan to another room.
"I don't know if you're interested in what's inside. These are treasures that our Ghost Market has collected from the martial arts world over the years."
This is the Seven-Day Intestinal Severing Powder, this is the infamous Arsenic, this is the highly sought-after super-potent sleeping potion, and this is a hidden weapon made by the Tang Clan of Shu Mountain a hundred years ago…”
As Master Lin spoke, he became more and more excited. If it weren't for his injured foot restricting his movement, he probably would have directly shown Xu Jinhuan his skills.
"What do you think? If you like them, you can pick one."
Besides resolving the gunpowder issue, Xu Jinhuan's purpose in coming to the Ghost Market was to prepare more of these things, so she directly said, "That's right, I'll take them all."
After hearing this, Third Master Lin smiled and said, "It's good that you like it. I'll pack it for you... You want it all?! Are you kidding me?"
Master Lin looked at the person opposite him with surprise, he really didn't expect this ghost to dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount.
Xu Jinhuan said slowly and deliberately, "Yes, I'll take them all."
Looking at the room full of things, and then at the void, Master Lin said helplessly, "Master Ghost, if you want ten or eight items, or even dozens of items, I can do some behind-the-scenes work for you."
"But you want so much at once; not to mention anything else, it'll be a hassle to transport it out."
Xu Jinhuan chuckled and said, "What's so difficult about that?"
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and half of the room was empty. She waved her hand again, and the other half of the room was empty as well.
"Huh? Huh?!"
All Master Lin could do now was open his mouth wide; no one could understand his astonishment.
"Are you really a ghost? Even if a ghost that just died has great abilities, it can't possibly have the ability to move things in its sleeve, can it?"
Master Lin had heard many stories from storytellers in his spare time, but none of them could compare to what he was experiencing today.
“I never said I was a ghost,” Xu Jinhuan said with a light laugh.
Upon hearing this, Master Lin's pupils dilated in shock. He looked into the void and stammered, "You, are you a deity?"
