"I want to go home and say goodbye to my parents, and then come back to you. I promise it will only be this once."
Huang Yu has now returned to her human form, and most people cannot tell that she is abnormal, so there is no need to worry about scaring her parents.
But she had become a monster, and it was no longer suitable for her to stay with her parents for long periods of time.
Otherwise, they might not be able to resist the urge to eat people.
“I won’t strictly restrict your freedom. Our relationship is like that of an employee and a boss. You work for me during the week, and you can take time off to go home and visit your family occasionally.”
Xia Tianqiong didn't want to be too harsh on her. She had parents who would definitely care about her. Unlike herself, she had been an orphan since childhood and had no one to rely on.
Huang Yu smiled sweetly, her smile as radiant as a blooming flower, "Thank you, boss. I will definitely be a qualified employee."
The two chatted for a few more minutes before Xia Tianqiong let her go, telling her to come back in two days.
After Huang Yu left, Xia Tianqiong wanted to upgrade the levels of the various contracted ghosts, since he had enough gold now.
"Is the Gambling Ghost still not awake?"
It has been a day and a night, and the Gambler's Ghost still hasn't completed its upgrade.
"It's in the last courtyard, and it looks like it should break through soon, probably in the next day or two."
The Mirror Ghost spoke before the Delivery Ghost, then paused and cautiously asked, "Master, can I level up too?"
It knew that Xia Tianqiong now had a lot of Nether Gold, enough for all the Contract Ghosts to upgrade at the same time.
Xia Tianqiong looked at the Mirror Specter and asked, "How long will it take you to break through to the Fierce Specter level?"
"It will take me a little longer than the gamble of life and death, about five or six days."
After saying this, Mirror Ghost saw Xia Tianqiong fall silent, seemingly hesitant. He immediately became a little nervous. Did he think it was taking too long?
It guessed correctly. Xia Tianqiong's main combat force is now just it. If it enters upgrade mode, the only one she can use is the waiter.
Although there were eight waiters, they were too weak to stand alone.
After a moment's thought, Xia Tianqiong made a decision: "Wait until Huang Yu comes back, then you can level up and directly order takeout to collect gold."
"Thank you, Master."
The mirror image was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
Huang Yu will be back in two days; we can wait those two days.
"What about us? We also want to upgrade."
Xiao Ba has no memory; he was the first to chime in again right after being scolded by Xia Tianqiong.
"Don't rush. I said that each of you has the opportunity to upgrade, and I will definitely deliver on that promise. However, in order to ensure combat strength, you will upgrade one by one."
Xia Tianqiong didn't scold Xiao Ba this time, after all, they were all his contracted spirits and served him.
His gaze swept over the eight waiters of varying heights, builds, and builds, finally settling on one of them.
"Let's start upgrading from the very beginning. It's the first one of the Eight Evils to follow me."
The eight waiters thanked them in unison, expecting to be upgraded in turn from one to eight. However, Xia Tianqiong's next words left them dumbfounded.
"After the first grade, who upgrades first and who upgrades later will be decided by the delivery company. You need to help me select the ones with potential and prioritize their upgrade."
The first half of these words were addressed to all the shop assistants, while the second half was spoken to the delivery guy on the shoulder.
The deliveryman nodded repeatedly, his face still bearing a humble smile, but inside he was overjoyed.
The eight waiters exchanged glances furtively, each with a strange expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Just a few hours ago, they stole someone's fruit, and Xiao Ba even hit them. Now, the right to upgrade first is in their hands.
This is a very bad sign, indicating that the owner needs to back it up.
The waiters wanted to protest and ask Xia Tianqiong to retract her decision, but none of them dared to speak up.
Xia Tianqiong took out her phone and checked the time.
It was already past three in the afternoon, and there were still three or four hours until dark. He felt a little hungry, so he left the mirror space to find a place to eat.
As soon as I came out of the mirror space, my phone connected to the outside signal and immediately started ringing with a series of WeChat notifications and several missed calls.
All the WeChat messages were from Jiang Yu. Upon opening them, my brows immediately furrowed.
He called Jiang Yu directly, asking, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Yu's voice came through the phone, trembling with tears, "I'm fine, but the warehouse was robbed and I was kicked out. I called the police, but they said it's a civil dispute and they won't handle it."
From the day before yesterday until now, Jiang Yu has been helping Xia Tianqiong buy all kinds of survival supplies, and hasn't slept much for two nights in a row.
After spending two hundred million yuan, they bought all sorts of supplies and filled three warehouses.
Just this afternoon, a group of people suddenly arrived.
They claimed that the warehouse was rented by them first, and the contract had not yet expired, so Jiang Yu had no right to use it.
Jiang Yu went to the warehouse rental company, and the person in charge told her that the contract was genuine and that it was a staff mistake that had mistakenly rented her a warehouse that someone else was using. They also promised to find her another warehouse.
That sounds pretty normal.
However, when Jiang Yu tried to move the supplies from the warehouse, she was stopped by the group of people who claimed that everything in the warehouse belonged to them.
It was only then that Jiang Yu realized that this group of people had come for the supplies.
She didn't take it too seriously at first.
After all, there are invoices and payment records for the purchases. If the police are called, it will be easy to prove that these items belong to her.
The outcome was far beyond expectations.
When the police arrived, they didn't look at the invoices or payment records. They just said it was a civil dispute and told her to go through the legal process, and then they left.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yu was violently driven away by that group of people and was not allowed to approach the warehouse.
That's how it is.
