Chapter 212 The Underworld's Treasury is Depleted?



The ghost messenger in charge of this area said somewhat helplessly when he saw that Qin Yunie was not very satisfied.

Qin Yunie naturally knew that this was already considered a very good house in the underworld, since other houses in the underworld were much worse.

Then the image of Yama's house popped into her mind, and she suddenly realized why she had always felt something was missing.

Because subconsciously, she had seen better houses in the underworld, so she felt that these houses were always a little lacking.

Qin Yunie suddenly remembered that the King of Hell had said he could leave her a house in Xiangshan. She wondered if that still counted.

Although it's a bit remote, the house is really nice, and the environment there is good too.

At the time, she thought it was too far and knew the house would definitely not be cheap, so she didn't include it in her plans at first. But after looking around, she felt that this place was the best.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Ghost Messenger, how much are the house prices in Fragrant Hills?"

Upon hearing her question, the ghost officer in charge of the property was somewhat shocked and subconsciously asked, "Where are you asking?"

Qin Yune pursed her lips and said, "Xiangshan, the place where the King of Hell lives."

The ghost official in charge of real estate said, "The houses over there are not for sale to the public."

Now it was Qin Yunie's turn to be shocked.

Not for sale to the public?

So, when the King of Hell said he could leave me a house over there?

Perhaps it was because her expression was too easy to understand, and the news that King Yama had personally gone to the opening of Qin Yunie Restaurant and given so many luminous pearls had spread too widely, that even the ghost messengers in charge of real estate knew that her relationship with King Yama was unusual.

So he said, "The houses over there are not under my jurisdiction. If you want to buy them, you can ask the King of Hell."

Upon hearing his words, Qin Yune was stunned for a moment, realizing that she hadn't been in contact with the King of Hell for some time.

Qin Yunie nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask the King of Hell later if I can keep a few of these sets for myself. If I can't buy them at Xiangshan later, I'll pick one of these sets."

The ghost officer in charge of the property nodded without hesitation, "No problem. Not many ghosts usually buy this size. First, the price is too high, and second, unless there are many people, no ghost will buy such a large one."

Qin Yune smiled and said, "Then thank you so much. I'm sorry to trouble you to come with me."

The ghostly official in charge of real estate said, "You're too kind. It's what I should do."

After the ghost messenger in charge of the property left, Qin Yunie took out her phone, found the King of Hell's WeChat account, and saw that their chat history was still stuck on the last time.

After hesitating for a while, Qin Yunie still didn't send the message and went straight home.

Jian Er came out when she heard the sound, her gaze lingering on the woman's face for a moment before she asked, "Something on your mind?"

Qin Yunie was startled by his sudden voice, and then, realizing what he had asked, she looked at him in confusion and asked, "How did you know?"

Jian Er: "Your expression tells me that if you're willing, you can tell me."

Perhaps it was his serious and sincere expression that made Qin Yunie fall silent for a while before saying, "There's a friend I haven't contacted for a while... but I need to ask him something, no, I should say I might need his help. I feel like I'm being a bit awkward, so I'm having trouble bringing it up. I don't contact him when there's nothing going on, but I ask him for help when I need something. He's not anyone to me, and he has no obligation to help me."

As she spoke, Qin Yunie realized more and more that she had taken it all too for granted before.

Jian Er: "Have you ever considered that perhaps the other person would be willing for you to ask them for help?"

Qin Yunie subconsciously retorted, "How could that be? No one likes trouble."

"How do you know he doesn't want you to ask him for help if you haven't even asked him?"

Qin Yunie was almost swayed by his words, but in an instant, she shook her head. "What you're saying isn't accurate. Everyone has their own selfish motives. Why would someone ask you for help if there's no benefit to be gained?"

This was her experience from two lifetimes: mutual benefit is always the strongest bond.

As long as there is profit to be made, even an opponent can become an ally.

However, Qin Yune felt it was unlikely that someone would be happy to have others ask for their help; otherwise, they would have other motives.

However, she didn't seem to have anything that would tempt the King of Hell, so we can only say that she was kind-hearted and not among the types she mentioned.

Jian Er gave Qin Yunie a suggestion: "No matter what we say, it won't be accurate. Here's what you should do: send what you want to ask to the other party and see their attitude. If they are really unwilling, you can feel it even through the screen."

Qin Yune shook her head. "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. The apartments I went to see today were actually alright. I'm going back to my room now. Thanks for keeping me company."

Jian Er said calmly, her face expressionless, "I couldn't do anything for you either."

Qin Yunie laughed and said, "It's different. Before, when I came back, I was always alone, with no one to talk to. So, it seems like it's not bad for you to stay here. You can have another roommate."

Over the course of their time together, Jian Er didn't have any of the bad habits that boys have. He was clean, didn't swear, wasn't untrustworthy, and didn't do anything inappropriate. He even helped her a lot. He didn't play games or watch female streamers, didn't smoke or drink, and had a regular schedule. At most, he would watch TV dramas that Qin Yu Nie recommended to him. If he didn't look like he was only in his early twenties, he would look like an old cadre.

I don't know if he forgot, or if it's always been like this.

Jian Er chuckled lightly, "Then I'll take that as you wanting me to stay longer."

Qin Yunie joked, "You're dreaming. I'm not just letting people stay here for free."

Jian Er said with a serious face, "I don't know what I can do for you, Mr. Qin. I can do anything. I don't need a salary, just room and board."

"Nothing for now." She thought for a moment and realized there really wasn't anything she needed to do.

Jian Er sighed, "That's a pity."

Qin Yune was amused by him.

To her surprise, the very next day she received a message from the ghost messenger in charge of real estate: "[There's a property for sale in Xiangshan. Mr. Qin, would you like it?]"

Qin Yunie was stunned when she received this message as soon as she opened her phone.

Didn't he say last night that Fragrant Hills wasn't for sale to the public? And isn't he in charge of Fragrant Hills?

How come your tone changed so much in just one night?

Qin Yune replied cautiously: "Is the Xiangshan house definitely for sale?"

The underworld official in charge of real estate was also a bit confused. He received a last-minute notice last night saying that the underworld's treasury was in deficit and that some properties needed to be sold, including the house in Xiangshan.

When he saw that the underworld's treasury was empty, he almost spat it out. Everything else could be in debt, but the underworld's treasury was the only place where it could never be empty.

This is clearly an excuse!
