The burning ghost's expression darkened at these words.
If he had a choice, he wouldn't want the Void Clan to be wiped out.
"We can't even control our own lives and deaths, there's nothing we can do about it!"
"You are supposed to be generals of the treacherous realm, where is your dignity? Where is your face? Don't you care about anything? Are you so willing to be slaves to others and be enslaved for the rest of your lives?"
Yinggui spoke loudly, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
All the contracted ghosts turned to look at him.
Some of the contractual charlatans laughed dismissively, seemingly unaffected by the words.
Some contract-based charlatans, however, looked at him with a knowing, half-smiling gaze.
Yinggui was suddenly a little confused.
He thought these words would sting the dignity of these contractual monsters, and then they would kill him in a fit of rage.
But now it seems something is amiss.
Old Man Wang squinted at Ying Gui, seeing his resentful expression, and thought that further words were useless and he needed something practical.
"Cough cough!"
He pretended to cough twice, then his hand trembled, and a gold ingot fell out of his sleeve.
Ding!
It struck the bluestone ground with a crisp sound.
Immediately afterwards, the sound rang out one after another, and ingots of ghost gold fell out, piling up into a small heap.
"Sorry, it accidentally fell out."
Old Man Wang gave an explanation, then with a flick of his sleeve, he took all the ghost money back.
Xia Tianqiong gave him a thousand taels to recover from his injuries, but he only used a little over five hundred taels, keeping the rest for his daily cultivation.
The moment Yinggui saw the Nether Gold, his eyes involuntarily revealed greed and madness.
He wanted to ask how there was so much ghost money, but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only ask with his eyes.
Just as Old Man Wang was about to explain, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Oh dear, my ghost money has also fallen!"
The one speaking was the courtesan in red.
Then, a lot of ghost money fell out of her red sleeves, and she bent down and slowly picked them up one by one.
Other contractual tricks were inspired by this and all followed suit.
Pretend the ghost money fell out, then slowly pick it up again.
This scene is really a bit strange.
Shadow Ghost, Monkey King Clan Elder, and Array Ghost were all dumbfounded, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Why...do you all have ghost money?"
Yinggui swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice.
The ghostly figure, burning to death, wore a smug expression. "Our master is fair in rewarding and punishing; as long as you put in the effort, you will be rewarded. If you are willing to sign the human-master contract and work for the master in the future, you will naturally receive ghost money."
Old Man Wang added from the side, "Including the two of us, there are already four Ghost Generals here. One more or one less won't make a difference. Besides, even the only son of the Leng family head has joined. What are you still hesitating about? Maybe the Leng family head will join in a little while!"
Leng Manjin stood to the side, calm and composed, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Yinggui was somewhat persuaded. If other ghost generals could join, why should he hold back?
Seeing his silence, the Burning Ghost quickly continued to persuade him: "The Void Ghost Clan is destined to perish. You don't need to perish with them. Join our big family, and you will find that the master is very special and will surely be extraordinary in the future. It won't be a disgrace to you."
Yinggui pondered for a moment, then gave a bitter smile, "Do I have a choice?"
That means he's agreed.
The Burning Ghost and Old Man Wang exchanged a smile, and the other contracted ghosts also showed joy.
Old Man Wang said softly to the ghost who was burned to death, "I deserve the lion's share of the credit, you don't have any objections, do you?"
The ghostly figure, as if its money had been stolen, immediately jumped up and retorted, "This is everyone's achievement, it should be divided equally."
Ying Gui looked completely bewildered, not understanding what they meant by their words.
Little did he know that Xia Tianqiong had already set a rule: whoever could persuade the strange contract would receive a bonus.
Moreover, the higher the level of the strangeness of the person being persuaded to surrender, the higher the reward.
This is the biggest source of extra income for all contractual swindlers besides their fixed salary, so they are all particularly enthusiastic about it.
The delivery guy walked over with a smile.
"Welcome to the team. Here is one hundred taels of ghost money. Take it and recover from your injuries as soon as possible. Your master may need you at any time."
He waved, and a contract ghost followed behind him carrying a tray with ten gold ingots neatly arranged on it.
This act had a rather ceremonial feel to it.
The shadowy figure stared wide-eyed, now even more bewildered.
Who is this?
A mere scoundrel actually gave me one hundred taels of ghost money. Does that mean he's the one in charge here?
The problem is, I haven't even signed the contract yet!
The Burning Ghost noticed his confusion and explained with a smile.
"This is our chief financial officer, who also serves as the administrative director. From now on, your appointment and salary will be decided by him."
Even as the burning ghost spoke these words, he was filled with sorrow.
It is said that this creature was originally just a common wild monster, but since following its master, it has been pampered and its strength has increased rapidly. It has also gained immense power.
Besides the master, only this person can freely use the Netherworld Gold.
This shows how much they trust this person!
Yinggui was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and only stammered, "What's a salary?"
