Ghost Realm River View Room 8
Although Xie Guijin was embarrassed, she still told the truth.
The Empress then said, "Concern leads to confusion, which is human nature. In that case, you should hurry back to the Ghost Realm."
"Silly child, the more you do and the greater your contribution, the more face you can give King Biancheng and the Ghost Realm to save face. It will benefit both you and Jiming." Seeing Xie Guijin's blank expression, the Empress further explained.
Xie Guijin suddenly realized that she had fallen into a misconception again, thinking that as long as she completed the basic tasks given by the system, she would be fine, without thinking about taking the time to bring back the information she had collected and prepare for the construction of the second batch of houses.
And since she never intended to evade punishment, she didn't think of this aspect.
Once she realized what was happening, Xie Guijin immediately rushed back to the Ghost Realm to report the needs of each realm to Beidou Jun.
Beidou Jun immediately took him to see the Emperor of Fengdu.
The Ghost Realm held another high-level meeting, which took significantly longer this time.
After all, the Ghost Realm cannot satisfy all the needs of all realms, and even those that can be satisfied must be adjusted according to the actual situation; it is impossible to release them all at once.
Although the Ghost Realm doesn't have a specific term like "sustainable development," all the Ghost Officials are very clear about this concept, and the discussion is exceptionally heated.
It wasn't all decided by midnight.
Xie Guijin had to meet with potential clients from various sectors, so she took her leave first.
The journey to the God Realm and the Immortal Realm went smoothly. In the Demon Realm, they encountered two familiar faces: Bi Luo Ji and Xuan Tang Jin.
Xie Guijin was unsure whether they would recognize her, so she did not rush to acknowledge them.
She led the gods, immortals, and demons to the Gates of Hell, and used the passes that Beidou Jun had prepared in advance to bring the guests into the newly built house on the banks of the River of Oblivion in the Ghost Realm.
Xie Guijin used all her skills as a top modern salesperson to give a professional, comprehensive explanation of the house from every angle.
First, we will explain the surrounding amenities and overall materials of the house from the outside. Then, we will take each client on a tour of the house and introduce the details of each house in detail.
Finally, we invited each client to visit the houses that interested them on their own, and even sent ghost messengers to serve them, also to prevent them from wandering around.
The other creatures left under the guidance of the ghost messengers, but Biluoji refused to go with them and winked at Xie Guijin.
Xie Guijin chuckled inwardly and told the ghost messenger to go down and wait.
As soon as the ghost messenger left, Biluoji immediately pulled Xuan Tangjin forward, blinking her eyes as she asked, "Gui Jin, is that you?"
Xie Guijin couldn't help but chuckle and said softly, "It's me."
Upon hearing this, Bi Luoji released Xuan Tangjin, grabbed Xie Guijin's hands, and skipped around on her feet.
Xuan Tangjin said from the side, "As soon as she heard that the Ghost Realm was selling houses to outsiders, she said it was you. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have rushed to the Ghost Realm to find you."
Xie Guijin felt his hand go empty, but Bi Luoji flew to Xuan Tangjin like a butterfly, punched Xuan Tangjin's chest with her small fist, and said coquettishly, "Don't talk nonsense."
Xuan Tangjin grabbed Bi Luoji's wrist and turned to Xie Guijin, asking, "Why haven't I seen Xue Linchuan?"
Biluoji's attention was diverted, and she looked over with bright eyes.
"Alas," Xie Guijin sighed softly, "It's a long story."
"Then just get to the point," Biluoji said, making a face at Xie Guijin.
Xie Guijin had just said a few words.
A baby-faced ghost messenger ran over in a panic, saying, "My lord, two guests from the demon realm are arguing. You should go and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guijin stopped talking, gestured to the two demons, Biluoji, and then turned and left.
Bi Luoji and Xuan Tangjin exchanged a glance and followed behind to watch the excitement.
The number of customers from various sectors that came this time varied. Some genuinely wanted to buy a house, while others took the opportunity to visit the ghost realm, since under normal circumstances, beings from all realms are not allowed to enter the ghost realm without permission.
Some people came out of curiosity to see what it was like to buy a house in the ghost world.
There were also some rulers from various realms who, out of concern for the reputation of the Ghost Realm and fearing that there wouldn't be enough customers, sent people to make a show of things.
At this moment, the two people arguing are among the very few who are genuinely interested in buying a house.
One of them was a mother suffering from an extremely rare form of Yin-cold poison, which could only be completely expelled by soaking in the warm jade spring water of the Styx River.
The elephant demon, as the daughter, had repeatedly sought help from the ghost realm and was willing to pay the price. However, given that the Styx Warm Jade Spring is an underground hot spring that springs up from the bottom of the extremely cold Styx River and is located in the core area of the ghost realm, not to mention demons, even ordinary ghost officials are not allowed to go there without permission.
Upon hearing the news, I immediately signed up because I wanted to buy a house to pay for my mother's medical treatment.
Another is a newborn baby in the bamboo spirit's family. The baby is congenitally weak and easily disturbed, crying incessantly all day long.
There are many elixirs, spiritual fruits, and magical artifacts in the Six Realms that can soothe the mind, and the bamboo spirit couple tried almost all of them while holding their child, but none of them worked.
They had heard that the Warm Jade Spring of the Styx had a calming effect on the mind, so they signed up to come.
Both sides wanted it and refused to give in.
Xie Guijin found the situation somewhat tricky.
The beings from the divine realm noticed Xie Guijin's predicament and all expressed their willingness to give up their spots to the demon realm.
But Xie Guijin was hesitant to agree.
The reason why the first batch of houses would consist of five buildings, each to be sold to different sectors, was also intended to check and balance each other.
Subsequent houses will be built and sold in the same manner.
According to Xie Guijin's previous meeting, the newly built house will not draw water from the spring again in the short term; other things will be used instead.
Xie Guijin was somewhat troubled. In her original world, there was no need for such trouble. Selling to whomever she wanted was the same as selling to. Even if there were rules that required selling to the five realms separately, it could be resolved by renting a house.
However, because the ghost realm is too special, such actions are not permissible.
As a seasoned and top-notch salesperson, Xie Guijin was not intimidated at all. She stepped forward and said softly, "Please calm down, gentlemen. Since this house is a necessity for both of you, I can assure you that I, the Ghost King, am able to meet your needs. Please have some tea to soothe your throats first."
Then, Xie Guijin addressed the other customers who had been drawn by the noise, saying, "To entertain you all, we have specially prepared some local delicacies from various sources. Please enjoy them and see if the house suits your taste. If there are any areas that need improvement, please let us know, and we will make repairs accordingly."
Things from the ghost realm are not edible for beings from other realms, which is why Xie Guijin specifically emphasized that they were collected from various realms.
She brought this up not to curry favor, but to take the opportunity to clear the room.
The other customers naturally understood Xie Guijin's implication and took their leave.
Only the two demons, Bi Luo Ji and Xuan Tang Jin, pretended to leave, but secretly returned and hid in the shadows to watch.
Seeing that no one else was around, the elephant spirit and the bamboo spirit started arguing again, their words becoming increasingly sharp. If it weren't for the presence of Xie Guijin and other ghost messengers, they would probably have come to blows.
Before Xie Guijin could step forward to stop them again, Bi Luoji jumped out from her hiding place and said, "What are you arguing about?"
All the beings present looked over at the sound and saw Xuan Tang Jin, who had failed to stop Bi Luo Ji, awkwardly withdraw his outstretched arm. He raised his eyes, smiled calmly at everyone, as if the two of them were meant to be there.
Beside it, Biluoji said with great enthusiasm, "You can each contribute half of the 60,000 underworld coins to buy it. Even if it's useful to both of you, you don't need to soak in the hot spring for 12 hours straight. Just soak in it at different times."
"Even if they don't want to soak in the same pool, wouldn't it be better to just create a separate small pool for the bamboo shoots?" Biluoji added thoughtfully.
Xie Guijin quickly followed up, "What do you two think?"
The elephant spirit said in a muffled voice, "Anyway, it's just for treatment, not for actually living here. I don't care, and I don't think my mother will mind either."
“That’s excellent.” The bamboo spirit nodded and said, “I’ll pay now and then bring my wife and children over.”
The elephant spirit also said it would pay the money now, as it was in a hurry to free her mother.
Xie Guijin smiled politely and said, "Of course we can complete the formalities now, but I must make it clear beforehand that no matter which of you returns first, you cannot let the demon soak in the spring water first. You must both arrive and, under the witness of the ghost messengers, clearly divide the house area and separate the spring water areas before you can use it normally. Otherwise, the transaction will be void."
The elephant spirit and the bamboo spirit both solemnly agreed.
Xie Guijin originally wanted them to pay only a deposit, but they were afraid of something going wrong and paid 30,000 ghost money before leaving.
After instructing the ghost messengers on how to proceed and how to resubmit the house deed to Beidou Jun for review, Xie Guijin turned to Biluoji and Xuantangjin and said, "You two should go back too. This place is a mess. I'll go to the demon mansion with you two after I'm done."
"You said it yourself, don't forget. If you don't come tomorrow, I'll come to the Ghost Realm to capture you," Biluoji said, tilting her head back.
Xie Guijin exchanged a glance with Xuan Tangjin beside her, and said to Bi Luoji affectionately, "Okay, if I don't come, you come to me. I've got it. Don't worry."
After the two demons, Biluoji and Biluoji, left, Xie Guijin went to check on how the houses in the divine and immortal realms were selling.
Customers from both realms do not have an urgent need for ghost houses.
However, the gods and immortals of these two realms have frequent official dealings with the ghost realm, so it's not appropriate to refuse to give the ghost realm face.
Ultimately, the divine residence was purchased by the True Martial Emperor.
Zhenwu the Great is one of the Four Saints of the North Pole. He is the God of War who guards the North and is responsible for "subduing demons and purifying hell". When troubles arise in the ghost realm that are difficult to handle, Zhenwu the Great will enter the ghost realm to quell the chaos and maintain the order of Yin and Yang.
His purchase of the first batch of residences in the Ghost Realm was also a tacit understanding between the Ghost Realm and the God Realm.
The celestial residence was purchased by the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.
She said that she rarely comes to the Ghost Realm and rarely sees the Lycoris radiata, so buying a house by the River of Oblivion would allow her to take care of it nearby, which might make the Lycoris radiata bloom more beautifully.
Furthermore, the Ghost Realm has few flowers and plants. With a house, one can transplant some flowers and plants from other realms into the house and see if they can survive. Perhaps one can even cultivate new varieties.
Xie Guijin respectfully accepted the ghost money and presented the house deed.
The elephant spirit and the bamboo spirit also returned with their respective relatives. They did not cause any trouble during the process of dividing the houses and springs, and the handover was completed smoothly.
After settling other trivial matters, Xie Guijin went to the human realm again to request an audience with the Empress.
The Empress smiled kindly and said, "Judging from your appearance, everything went very smoothly."
"Thanks to Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly." Xie Guijin said, personally presenting the house deed.
But as soon as it was handed to the Empress, the deed turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished without a trace.
