One of the rules of Wujian Restaurant is that you must obtain the other party's consent before sharing a table.
Even though Xia Tianqiong explicitly refused, the Ghost Bride sat opposite him, which triggered the rule.
As soon as the Bride of Evil sat down, a large amount of power of rules appeared from the void and tore at its body.
But it sat there calmly, as if nothing had happened.
The power of the rules couldn't touch her!
Xia Tianqiong's pupils dilated in shock, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
This was beyond his comprehension.
In the previous life, even top-tier monsters like Ghost Generals and Ghost Kings could be torn apart by the power of rules.
But this strange bride actually disregarded the power of the rules and tore at them!
Could she be of a higher level than the Ghost King?
That shouldn't be the case! The Ghost King is the highest level of the supernatural, that's what the supernatural beings themselves say.
Xia Tianqiong couldn't muster any thought of resistance.
He quickly activated the teleportation token, wanting to return to the first floor of the restaurant.
To everyone's surprise, the token did not respond at all, as if it had suddenly become invalid!
A cold sweat immediately broke out. Could it even disable this kind of teleportation token?
Are we going to be trapped here and die today?
Although Shadow Teleportation is still usable, each floor is isolated from the outside world, so he can only teleport on the sixth floor and cannot teleport to other floors.
Are you planning to run away again without letting me finish speaking?
Just as Xia Tianqiong was hesitating whether to use Shadow Teleportation to leave the table, a melodious voice suddenly rang out from under the red veil.
For some reason, there seemed to be a hint of resentment in his tone.
"Young lady, what do you want with me?"
Xia Tianqiong suppressed the urge to run away. "Let me tell you, I don't bathe for years, my body stinks. My thoughts are unhealthy, full of filth, so my soul isn't pure either. If you eat me, it will completely tarnish your identity."
"How about this, I'll give you gold, and use gold to replace me. The netherworld power of gold is so pure, a thousand times cleaner than this filthy person of mine, perfectly suited to your identity."
He desperately tried to discredit himself because he remembered information about the ghost bride from his previous life.
It is said that this creature likes to ask people if they are willing to be her groom, and no matter whether the answer is yes or no, the final fate is that it will eat them alive.
It can be described as extremely cruel.
Why do you possess the power of reincarnation?
The ghost bride asked a question that took Xia Tianqiong by surprise.
"The power of reincarnation? What is the power of reincarnation? I have no idea!"
Xia Tianqiong was a little puzzled. He knew about the power of rules and the power of contracts, but he had never heard of the power of reincarnation.
Suddenly, a thought struck him: Could it be because he had been reborn?
The ghost bride seemed to be watching him; he couldn't see her, but he could feel her gaze.
After a moment, he lowered his head slightly, as if muttering to himself, "So you didn't know either."
Xia Tianqiong cautiously probed, "Miss, is this all you wanted to see me for?"
The ghost bride seemed lost in thought, remaining silent for a moment before suddenly raising her head. "I heard you want to buy the Wujian Restaurant?"
"Well, I did have that idea, but the shopkeeper said he wouldn't sell it."
Xia Tianqiong was a little confused, not understanding why it suddenly asked this question.
What does this have to do with it?
"The Wujian Restaurant cannot be sold, but we can rent you one floor."
The Bride of Evil has a very beautiful voice; just by listening to her voice, you can tell she's a great beauty.
Is it really possible?
Xia Tianqiong was overjoyed.
Firstly, he understood that the strange bride wasn't there to kill him; secondly, renting an entire floor was a good option.
But then another question popped into my head: "Are you the owner here?"
I guess so!
This answer was somewhat unexpected.
The ghost bride continued, "The nine floors above ground are already in use and cannot be rented to you, but I can rent you the basement floor."
"There's a basement level too? How much is the rent?"
Xia Tianqiong had never heard that Wujian Restaurant had a basement.
The ghost bride adjusted her veil, as if afraid it would fall off. "The basement is bigger than any floor above ground, and the monthly rent is three thousand taels of gold."
Xia Tianqiong frowned. This was an outrageous price, and it seemed like a rip-off.
The Wujian Restaurant, with its nine floors above ground, might not even generate three thousand taels of gold in revenue in a year, yet it dares to demand three thousand taels in rent.
They're just trying to scam people!
"It's too expensive, I can't afford it. If it were a thousand taels a month, I could rent it."
Xia Tianqiong said it casually, her intention being to refuse.
The cunning bride readily agreed, "Okay, I'll rent it to you at this price."
"..."
Damn it! I've been tricked by this woman!
Summer was very upset; if he had bargained seriously, he might have gotten an even lower price.
"What? You want to back out?"
"No, how could that be? I'm a man of my word. A thousand taels is a thousand taels."
Once a person speaks with a supernatural being, it becomes a kind of implicit contract that must be fulfilled, or the supernatural being will haunt them.
The ghost bride suddenly stretched out her fair little hand and beckoned to Xia Tianqiong with her finger.
"Um... miss, what do you mean?"
Xia Tianqiong didn't quite understand, but she had a bad feeling.
"Give me money? What else could it mean!" The ghost bride suddenly spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"I don't have enough money right now, I'll pay you next time I come."
Xia Tianqiong had just spent over 800 taels of gold to buy a waiter, and now she had over 300 taels left in her mirror space. "How about this, I'll pay 200 taels as a deposit first."
He quickly took out the gold ingot and placed it in front of the ghost bride.
"Alright!"
The ghost bride didn't touch the gold, but the power of the underworld seemed to automatically float out of the gold and enter its body.
In the blink of an eye, two hundred taels of gold turned into a small pile of ashes.
"Hehe! It's been so long since I've tasted such pure Netherworld power!"
It seemed to be in a good mood, chuckling twice. "Will you be my groom?"
"You...you're a total liar!"
Xia Tianqiong's expression changed drastically, and her heart almost stopped beating.
This woman just finished eating gold and then used the death rule on him. She's like she doesn't care about him after she's done with him. She's such a scumbag!
