The world of chessboards.
The sky was clear and cloudless, with only a few wisps of thin, gauze-like clouds dotting the heavens.
The grassland is like a boundless blue sea, and a gentle breeze stirs up waves.
A large tree, five or six hundred meters tall, stands here, appearing somewhat out of place.
The tree canopy blocks out the sun, covering an area of hundreds of miles.
Countless pink petals detached from the branches, fluttering and drifting towards the ground.
Standing below, the summer sky seemed to be experiencing a romantic and gentle rain of flowers.
Tao Yao has accepted her fate and is no longer depressed.
She circled the sacred tree that Xiao Tao had transformed into, examining it carefully from top to bottom, and even touched it with her hand.
"What exactly is going on? You really resurrected the Tree Demon King? No, the Tree Demon King is dead. This is a newly born Tree Demon."
That's not right either. How could a newly born tree spirit directly possess the strength of a peak spirit general?
Furthermore, what method did you use to break the seal? This is something none of the other Demon Kings could do.
She is now filled with doubt and desperately wants answers.
"Just because the Demon King can't do it doesn't mean I can't."
Xia Tianqiong was in a good mood at the moment and began to explain to Tao Yao.
Of course, some places told the truth, while others chose to conceal it.
He wanted Tao Yao to believe that Xiao Tao was the sacred tree and the successor to the Tree Demon King.
Tao Yao and Hou Kui were stunned. They couldn't believe it; it was truly bizarre.
But we have no choice but to believe it, for the evidence is right before our eyes.
After explaining what had happened, Xia Tianqiong suddenly summoned the takeout ghost to her side.
Pointing at Tao Yao, he solemnly instructed the delivery ghosts: "Tao Yao has joined our big family. I have decided to appoint her as the general manager of commerce and trade, and concurrently as the manager of the Tree Ghost Clan."
"From now on, the Tree Spirit Clan's specialties, such as spirit wine, spirit fruit, and tea, will be produced and sold on a large scale. This will be entrusted to her for overall management. You must give her treatment commensurate with her status and position."
The delivery guy immediately understood what Xia Tianqiong meant.
He straightened his expression and slowly said, "Tao Yao is a ghost general, and she enjoys the same treatment as other ghost generals."
Each month, one can receive a tiered salary of 500,000 ghost money, a position salary of 20 taels of ghost gold, and be allocated a five-courtyard mansion in the mirror space.
The grade-based salary and position-based salary he mentioned are two different salary distribution systems.
The Contract Ghost receives a salary corresponding to its level, and if it has a position, it receives an additional position salary.
The reason for this separation is that not all the ghost money is being distributed at this time.
When Xia Tianqiong first assigned positions and established a salary system, all the payments were made in the form of ghost money.
However, with the forbidden techniques being restricted, the amount of ghost money no longer increased, and the delivery guy decided to stop issuing ghost money and instead issue ghost banknotes.
Of course, it's not like we won't send any at all.
Those above the Li Gui and those with official positions under contract can receive a small amount of Nether Gold each month, since they are Xia Tianqiong's main combat force.
As for the contractual ghosts below the level of the fierce and cunning, who have no official position, they can only receive some ghost money during festivals, when completing special tasks, or when reaching a level bottleneck.
Xia Tianqiong was very satisfied with the arrangement of taking out food delivery services, as it saved him from having to worry about it.
"Taoyao, how is it? Are you satisfied with this treatment?"
Tao Yao blinked her beautiful eyes, a mixture of surprise and disbelief in them.
She never expected that she would receive the same treatment as the other treacherous generals as soon as she joined.
She thought that because she was so disobedient and had only made a contract with the cunning general through a bet, she would be treated differently. She didn't expect this person to be so magnanimous.
Most importantly, there are twenty taels of ghost money every month!
That's over two hundred taels a year, and over two thousand taels in ten years. That's way too much!
Before she could even answer, an even bigger surprise was yet to come.
Xia Tianqiong continued, "Your Tree Ghost Clan is quite special and needs a better living environment. I plan to find a forest with a good environment in this small world as your exclusive habitat."
You'll be responsible for managing and looking after them; I generally won't interfere. Do you think this arrangement is good?
Tao Yao looked at Xia Tianqiong in surprise.
The other party really kept their promise and trusted her so much that they gave her important responsibilities.
It truly is a case of "if you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them!"
She hesitated slightly, thinking that she had no other choice.
The last trace of resentment in her heart quietly dissipated, and she sighed, "The arrangements are very good. I have nothing to say. I am willing to serve you from now on."
Xia Tianqiong smiled with satisfaction, then turned to the delivery ghosts and instructed them: "All tree ghosts, whether they are under contract or not, should be moved here. Also, transplant the trees that have been dug up."
The deliveryman nodded in agreement.
Tao Yao suddenly remembered something, "Master...Master, have all the treasures in the forbidden area been dug out? Those treasures are not suitable for growing in ordinary environments and will gradually degenerate."
She used to be a high-ranking clan elder, and now she felt a little embarrassed to call him "master," but she forced herself to say it anyway.
Xia Tianqiong smiled and said, "Just call me boss."
Tao Yao looked at the delivery ghost and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Why does he keep calling you master? I've also heard other contracted ghosts call you master."
This time, Xia Tianqiong didn't need to answer; the delivery guy spoke up directly.
"The master doesn't care about the title. You can call him boss, young master, or brother, it's all fine, but what you call him represents your attitude."
I like to call you "Master" because everything I have was given to me by you, and everything I have belongs to you.
Tao Yao suddenly froze, her little mouth agape, unable to close it for a long time.
She could tell that the other person was speaking from the heart, without any intention of flattery or loyalty.
