Chapter 72 Unexpected Conflict



"Yes, it was all Guo Zhan's idea. He was the one who suggested following you and then making your move in a less crowded place."

Both men identified Guo Zhan.

Guo Zhan lay motionless on the ground.

Xia Tianqiong was about to kick him to wake him up.

The delivery guy rushed ahead of Guo Zhan, examined him closely, and said, "Master, this is not a real person, but a figment of some kind of magic."

As it spoke, it punched Guo Zhan in the cheek.

With a soft "poof," like a plea deflating, Guo Zhan's body rapidly shrank, eventually becoming a palm-sized yellow paper figure.

"Paper Doll Substitute Technique!"

Xia Tianqiong's face darkened; he recognized this kind of sorcery.

This trickery allows one to attach consciousness to a paper doll, which then transforms into an identical real person and performs tasks in their place. As long as the doll is not injured, it is virtually undetectable.

Gu Chen and Liu Renguang were both stunned for a moment, and then they both started cursing at the same time.

"Damn it, he didn't come in real life. He's been fooling us from the beginning."

"That son of a bitch, he's trying to get us killed."

Both of them said they felt wronged and that they were used by Guo Zhan.

"Since neither of you can provide any useful information, then die!"

Xia Tianqiong could actually guess that it was most likely Liu Qian who did it.

After all, the only conflict I have with him right now is with him.

I just didn't expect the Liu family to be so impatient; the conflict that happened last night, they're already hiring someone to kill him today.

It seems there will be a lot of trouble ahead.

But it doesn't matter, we'll have to deal with the ancient families sooner or later anyway.

Upon hearing that he was to be killed, Gu Chen screamed in terror, "You can't kill us! We are from the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. We represent the government. If you kill us, you are going against the government!"

"No matter who it is, anyone who dares to lay a hand on me will only face death."

Xia Tianqiong was too lazy to waste words with such a minor character who wouldn't even get a full episode in a TV series, so she directly had Huang Yu use the Sky-Splitting Technique to cut off their heads.

After Liu Renguang died, a figure floated out of his body.

She fell to the ground and transformed into an old woman covered in leaves.

This is his contracted ghost. After a person dies, the contracted ghost will not die, but will be devoured by the power of the contract, and its ghost body will be severely damaged.

Xia Tianqiong was somewhat interested in this strange creature that could release vines, but instead of making a contract with it herself, she sealed it with the Sealing Strange Chessboard.

If such trickery is needed someday, it can be unsealed; if not, it can simply be used to replenish the number of strange items on the chessboard.

"I'm going to sleep. Wake me up before 6 p.m."

Xia Tianqiong gave an order and planned to find a courtyard to sleep in, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

He caught a glimpse of the delivery guy staring at the two corpses out of the corner of his eye, and subconsciously swallowed.

This guy is craving it.

"Come here."

"What are your orders, Master?" The delivery guy scurried over eagerly.

Xia Tianqiong patted its shoulder and laughed, "I remember you told me that you came to the human world from the ghost realm and came to me. You had never eaten human flesh before."

"right."

The delivery guy smiled, but his heart was pounding; he didn't understand why his owner was asking that question.

"These two are for you, pick them up and eat!"

If Xia Tianqiong hadn't spoken up, those two corpses would definitely have been snatched away by the waiters, and there would have been no way to leave them for the delivery guy.

The delivery guy was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, master. I have never tasted human flesh before. I have always heard that human flesh is delicious and very nutritious. Today I can finally have my wish fulfilled."

Huang Yu stood aside, looking at the two corpses, and a restless thought was also stirred within her.

The bizarre act of eating people is like a dog eating feces or a cat eating a mouse; it's instinct.

Xia Tianqiong also noticed that Huang Yu's eyes were strange, and warned her very seriously, "Anyone can eat human flesh, but you are not allowed to, understand?"

Upon hearing this tone, Huang Yu quickly nodded, "Yes, I'll remember."

The delivery guy was initially very happy, finally getting what he wanted, but suddenly his smile froze on his face.

After a moment of silence, struggling internally, he finally sighed, "Master, let them eat these two! I won't eat."

Xia Tianqiong asked curiously, "What's wrong? I just told her not to eat it, I didn't say you couldn't eat it."

The delivery ghost shook its head repeatedly, "My master is human! How could I eat my master's own kind! I've never eaten one before, and I never will!"

"..."

The crowd remained silent.

Xiao Ba couldn't help but mutter, "What a sycophant!"

Xia Tianqiong laughed heartily, patted the delivery guy's shoulder hard, gave him a few more words of encouragement, and then went to sleep.

No sooner had they left than the Mirror Ghost and seven waiters rushed up to fight over the two corpses.

The baby tree monster, which had been standing in the distance like an ornamental tree, suddenly stood up and rushed over to snatch human flesh.

Its roots resemble octopus tentacles, soft and flexible, and move very quickly.

"Leave some for me, you guys are starving monsters, eating so fast?"

The infant tree's childish voice was particularly amusing when it started cursing.

"Please spare my head, I haven't eaten a human in centuries, don't you have any decency?"

It arrived too late and got nothing, so it can only grumble and complain here.

However, none of the contracted monsters present took it seriously.

The only thing that appeared in the delivery device was a plate of spicy rabbit heads. I walked over to it and said, "How about you order one of these?"

"You're really good at this trickery. Quickly pour it onto my roots and give me a few more servings."

While things were bustling and lively on one side, Jiang Yu stood on the very edge of the crowd.

He acted like an outsider from beginning to end.

She hadn't thought anything of it before; although there were many strange things here, she was the only woman.

But now another one has come along, and she has a face that even women envy.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of pressure.

At this moment, Huang Yu also turned to look at her, smiled sweetly, and said, "Hello, sister, my name is Huang Yu."

"My name is Jiang Yu!"
