Manager Hu rode the giant beast directly through the array's light barrier, galloping towards them with seven-colored light, giving the feeling of auspiciousness descending from the sky, and finally stopped in front of Xia Tianqiong.
"Mr. Xia, on behalf of the Ghost Realm Bank, I've come to deliver a New Year's gift to you. Wishing you a Happy New Year, abundant blessings, and great wealth."
It jumped off the giant beast, then cupped its hands in greeting to the ghost bride, saying, "Miss Qin is here too! Happy New Year to Miss Qin as well!"
The ghost bride nodded slightly, replied with a "Happy New Year," and then said nothing more.
Manager Hu patted the giant beast's neck, and the beast suddenly opened its blood-red maw and vomited out a large amount of stuff.
In the blink of an eye, a small mountain, seven or eight meters high, was piled up in the open space in front of the bamboo house.
"Mr. Xia, you are a mid-level VIP of our bank. This is our New Year's gift to you: ten tons of various kinds of spiritual fruits, ten tons of special ingredients from the Ghost Realm, ten tons of exotic beast flesh and blood, as well as some spiritual wine, pills, and other strange items. Here is the list, please take a look."
Manager Hu took out a fine piece of animal skin paper and handed it to Xia Tianqiong.
Du Fuwei stood to the side, dumbfounded. He looked down at the meager gift he had brought and realized it was nothing compared to the other person's.
They were also extremely shocked. Just how much money did Xia Tianqiong have in the Ghost Realm Bank that would make the bank give such a high congratulatory gift?
Xia Tianqiong looked slightly surprised, not expecting the Ghost Realm Bank to be so generous; this gift must be worth millions of ghost banknotes.
"Manager Hu, you're too kind!"
"Of course, considering you're a mid-level VIP at our bank! If you ever upgrade to a high-level VIP, the congratulatory gift will be even more generous!"
Manager Hu spoke with a smile, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Xia Tianqiong also laughed and said, "I don't have that much money right now, but I'll definitely save it when I have it in the future."
"Okay, I trust you. I won't bother you any longer. Contact me directly if you need anything."
"Wait a minute, Manager Hu, what kind of behemoth is this? It looks quite amazing."
"This is the Nian beast. It's what we hunt on New Year's Eve, but it no longer harms people. It has become our company's exclusive auspicious beast."
"This is the Nian beast!"
Xia Tianqiong was very interested. He walked over and circled the Nian beast. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
This guy is even cooler than the giant wolf transformed from a human-headed dog. Wherever he goes, there are colorful rays of light. He's so cool!
"Manager Hu, are you selling this Nian beast?"
"That won't do. The Nian beast is the mount of our bank manager. I can only borrow it to ride during the New Year. If you happen to run into the manager someday, you can ask him yourself if he can sell it to you!"
Manager Hu laughed heartily, then rode the Nian beast, stepping on the colorful glow of the sunset, and returned to the realm of ghosts.
After it left, Du Fuwei also quickly took his leave, preparing to go back and report the situation here to his superiors.
Xia Tianqiong took the bronze mirror and put all the congratulatory gifts into the mirror space, where the contracted ghosts sorted them and then stored them in the warehouse.
At this moment, Huang Yu appeared out of nowhere.
"Boss, is it almost Chinese New Year? Why didn't you call me?"
It built a simple wooden hut on the edge of the sky island and has been in seclusion for more than half a year. When Manager Hu appeared just now, the Netherworld power fluctuated violently, which woke it up.
When I flew over and saw the Spring Festival couplets and the character "福" (fortune), I realized that it was already Chinese New Year.
Xia Tianqiong looked at it with a delighted expression, "You've emerged from seclusion? Have you broken through to the level of the Fierce Monster?"
A hint of sadness appeared on Huang Yuqiao's face as she shook her head. "Not yet. I don't know why, but I just can't seem to find the feeling of breaking through."
The Bride of Evil suddenly spoke up, “You haven’t reached your bottleneck yet. It’s difficult to level up even if you cultivate in seclusion. It’s best to participate in more killings and use more trickery to speed up your leveling up. Simply staying in seclusion is actually the slowest way.”
Knowing the power of the Ghost Bride, Huang Yu politely replied, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."
Xia Tianqiong comforted her, "After the New Year, you can join the hunting team and go to the city to help me hunt down strange creatures. Maybe you'll level up in no time."
Huang Yu nodded and said nothing more.
Next, Xia Tianqiong continued to paste the "Fu" character with the Ghost Bride, creating a festive atmosphere for the New Year.
Huang Yu watched from the side and suddenly felt a little superfluous.
"Boss, I'd like to ask for leave to go home and spend the Chinese New Year with my parents."
"You should go back and spend time with your parents, have a family reunion dinner. I'll give you three days off, and you can come back on the third day of the Lunar New Year."
As Xia Tianqiong pasted up the "Fu" character, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and walked towards Huang Yu, and took out a basket of spiritual fruits and two jars of spiritual wine.
"These longevity-promoting fruits and wines are my New Year's gifts for your parents."
"Thank you, boss."
Huang Yu smiled sweetly, feeling warm inside, and once again firmly believed that she had not followed the wrong person.
But at the same time, I felt a little disappointed. Besides the fierce and mysterious courtesan, now there's a bride of the mysterious king level. Her role with the boss is getting lower and lower.
With mixed feelings, Huang Yu left the Sky Island.
After Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride finished setting up the venue, they started washing and cooking vegetables, keeping themselves very busy.
Manager Hu brought a lot of ingredients from the supernatural realm and meat from strange beasts. Xia Tianqiong didn't know how to handle them, so he originally planned to release the chef, Gui. However, the Gui Bride said that she could handle them and even cook special dishes from the supernatural realm.
So one of them made dishes with human characteristics, and the other made dishes with bizarre characteristics.
Just as they were getting busy, another visitor arrived.
It was the ghost bride who discovered it: "A vicious ghost has come from outside."
The array formation in the Sky Island Orchard can only defend against the fierce and treacherous; it cannot defend against anything more advanced.
Xia Tianqiong thought to herself, "How dare this little monster come here? Isn't he just asking for death?"
He activated the formation, letting the ferocious creature in, preparing to capture it.
But at that moment, the monstrous infant emerged from her body, crying, "Mommy... Mommy..."
It barked twice, then vanished in a flash, teleporting away.
Xia Tianqiong was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was the Ghost Mother who had come to see her son.
A moment later, the Ghost Mother teleported in front of Xia Tianqiong.
It was holding two strange infants in its arms, one of which was fat and white and was the strange infant that had just run away.
The other one was thin and small, and looked like a baby girl, clearly the one the ghost mother had given birth to later.
At this moment, the ghost bride turned around and glanced back, which frightened the ghost mother so much that she retreated repeatedly. "I just came to see my son. I won't hurt anyone. I'll leave in a bit."
The ghost bride nodded and said nothing more, but kept looking at the two ghost infants in the ghost mother's arms, seemingly very interested.
The ghost mother looked at Xia Tianqiong and sincerely thanked him, "I can see that you have taken good care of my child. Thank you."
"No need to thank me. I promised you that it would eat and drink well with me and be fat and healthy. Look, it's not only fat now, but its level has also risen to the Evil Monster level."
That's what Xia Tianqiong said at the time, and that's exactly what she did.
Every day, the delivery ghost manifests Netherworld delivery to the ghost infant, a privilege not afforded to other contracted ghosts.
It had already risen to the level of evil six months ago, and two months ago, it was even able to speak, no longer just babbling.
Xia Tianqiong suddenly asked, "Have you made a contract with someone yet? Do you want to stay?"
