The shopkeeper pursed his lips, then pointed upstairs.
"The Ghost Bride has been waiting for you for a while, on the sixth floor."
"Oh? It wants to see me too?"
Xia Tianqiong was slightly surprised, then used the teleportation token to teleport to the sixth floor.
This floor was still empty; the waiter had been dismissed, and only a large red sedan chair was parked next to a table.
"You went to the basement first, then the third floor, and only came to see me last. It seems I am the least important person to you!"
A cold, clear voice came from inside the sedan chair, filled with resentment.
Xia Tianqiong sighed inwardly.
This strange woman is still so unpredictable. It's just that she arrived a little late, why is she so resentful?
"The most important person should be saved for last, so that you can spend more time looking at them."
He chuckled as he walked over, preparing to sit in the chair opposite the ghost bride, when suddenly he remembered something.
"Will sitting down now trigger the table-sharing rule?"
"No, I wasn't sitting in a chair, so it doesn't count as sharing a table."
Hearing this, Xia Tianqiong finally sat down with peace of mind.
"It's been over a month. How have you been?"
He didn't really know what to talk about; he just came here to maintain the relationship, since the red veil still needed the ghost bride to recharge it.
The ghost bride didn't answer; instead, she asked him, "Did you go to the ghost realm?"
Xia Tianqiong was taken aback. "How do you know everything?"
"When humans go to the Ghost Realm, they will retain some of the Ghost Realm's unique aura. The Ghost Realm is too chaotic, and you are still too weak, so try to go there as little as possible."
The Bride's voice remained cold and clear, but it was evident that she cared about Xia Tianqiong.
"Don't worry, I have Manager Hu from the bank protecting me, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go."
"Hmph, it's no good either! If there wasn't something of value in you, it wouldn't care about you."
"By the way, I heard you owe the bank money. How much? Should I help you pay it off?"
"Oh, why are you being so nice to me?"
The bride's voice suddenly became sweet and soft, as if she had transformed into another ghost.
Xia Tianqiong was already used to this and wasn't surprised. "I'll help you pay off your debt. How about you make a contract with me?"
If I could make a contract with the Ghost Bride, even an equal contract would be fine, then I could definitely do whatever I wanted from now on.
From inside the sedan chair came the mocking voice of the ghost bride, "I don't owe too much money, just over 500 billion ghost money, right?"
"Just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Xia Tianqiong was embarrassed; she hadn't expected this strange woman to owe her so much.
Five hundred billion ghost money is equivalent to fifty million taels of ghost gold. Even if he earns money easily, he still can't come up with that much money.
He quickly changed the subject, "I encountered some fun things during my trip to the Ghost Realm."
He embellished his journey to the Ghost Realm as a story and told it to the Ghost Bride, especially the war between the Void Ghost Clan and the Tree Ghost Clan, which he described as an earth-shattering battle.
The ghost bride listened quietly inside the sedan chair, occasionally letting out bursts of silvery laughter.
Hearing the three stories of Leng Manjin, he laughed so hard that the sedan chair trembled.
Xia Tianqiong omitted a lot of key information, not saying that he was the one who orchestrated it all, otherwise the Ghost Bride might have been even happier.
Before we knew it, more than an hour had passed.
"That's wonderful! I haven't laughed so heartily in a long time. I knew I hadn't chosen the wrong person."
"I'm glad you're happy. I have to go now. I'll come see you again next time."
Xia Tianqiong hadn't expected to talk so much with the ghost bride. She got up to leave, but then suddenly remembered something.
He took out a large pile of gold ingots and various spiritual fruits from the mirror space and placed them on the table.
"Here's ten thousand taels, ten months' rent, and these spiritual fruits, brought back from the Ghost Realm. Here, have a taste. Alright, I'm leaving."
"Wait a moment."
He was about to teleport away when the Ghost Bride called him back.
But after a few seconds of silence, he did not continue speaking.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Xia Tianqiong was a little curious.
A soft sigh came from inside the sedan chair: "Some things, the easier they are to obtain, the higher the price we will have to pay in the future. Do not abuse them."
Xia Tianqiong felt a tightness in her chest, sensing that the Ghost Bride knew her secret, but she wasn't sure.
"What's the meaning?"
"Think about it carefully, why is a forbidden technique called a forbidden technique?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of power of rules suddenly appeared around the ghost sedan chair, seemingly attacking the ghost bride.
At the same time, Xia Tianqiong's bronze mirror trembled, and the red veil flew out automatically and into the sedan chair.
A moment later, everything returned to calm.
"You may leave. I have said everything I could."
The ghost bride's voice was weak, as if she were injured.
The red veil flew out again and automatically landed in Xia Tianqiong's hand.
