Seeing her, Yan Chixia became embarrassed.

He coughed dryly and handed out the scroll in his left hand: "Miss Nie, I rushed to the town overnight to find this from the painter's house."

Nie Xiaoqian took it with both hands and was about to thank him, but heard Yan Chixia speak again.

"But that tree demon was really vicious. Seeing that it could not defeat me, it actually killed all the ghosts under its control and scattered their ashes."

Su Luo looked at Yan Chixia in astonishment and saw that his dark face was faintly red.

He looked at Nie Xiaoqian again.

The pitiful female ghost was also stunned at this moment.

After a long while, she trembled and said, "I can't go back?"

"It's just that it's difficult to reincarnate." Yan Chixia said.

"What do you mean?" Selena, who followed, was curious.

"Humans have their own human registers, and ghosts have their own ghost registers. If you cannot bury your body and offer sacrifices, you will not be able to obtain the ghost register and thus obtain the path to reincarnation," Yan Chixia explained. "If you wander around like this, you will become a lonely ghost."

Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's lost expression, he comforted her, "But this is not unsolvable. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. I'll ask a ghost messenger about it later, and I'll definitely help Miss Nie get registered as a ghost."

At this point, he changed the subject: "Before that, Miss Nie can stay in the painting first."

Su Luo listened to the conversation between several people and thought he had learned a lot.

It turns out that ghosts are just like humans. Without a house, they cannot settle down, and thus become wandering ghosts like those who move to Beijing and Shanghai.

No wonder ghosts are called ghosts!

However, people have collective household registration, and ghosts probably have similar ways.

"It's hard to be a human or a ghost." He sighed secretly.

"Sorry to trouble you, Hero Yan." Nie Xiaoqian finally came back to her senses.

"I hope you don't blame me." Yan Chixia said awkwardly.

Nie Xiaoqian shook her head, and suddenly cast her gaze towards Su Luo, tentatively asking: "Sir, I have nowhere to go now, can I stay in the tavern?"

It's not that she really has nowhere to go, but now she is a lonely ghost in her original world, and she might be chopped to death by some passing master.

Or they might be abducted by other evil ghosts and monsters, and their situation might be even worse than being coerced by the tree monster.

Seeing that Su Luo didn't say anything, Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly said, "I can help you serve tea, clean, and receive guests..."

If Selena hadn't told her that there was a princess who had always wanted to sleep with Su Luo but was rejected, she would have wanted to marry him.

This gentleman is young and handsome, mysterious and powerful, and has a good temper. Being a maid is a blessing he has earned in several lifetimes.

As early as when Su Luo rescued Nie Xiaoqian from Yan Chixia's sword, she had developed a liking for this mysterious shop owner.

But she felt that as a princess who had been rejected, she would inevitably feel inferior, and was worried that speaking out would anger the other party, so she did not dare to say anything and just looked at Su Luo eagerly.

Yan Chixia also looked at Su Luo, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

He felt that he had dug the hole himself. If he had been more careful at the beginning, the tree demon would not have scattered its ashes before dying.

But it is quite troublesome for me to protect this female ghost outside. The best way is to let her stay here.

Selena also looked at Su Luo with expectation.

Because of her own inhuman experience, she got along very well with this new friend and didn't want to see anything happen to him.

With the expectant eyes of the three people, Su Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

He raised his hand and pointed to the wall near the corner of the tavern, and the scroll in Yan Chixia's hand flew out and hung on the wall.

Nie Xiaoqian hurriedly thanked him.

Yan Chixia and Selina also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I will definitely clean this place..."

Nie Xiaoqian was interrupted by Su Luo just as she was about to say something: "No need to be so troublesome."

"You will stay here temporarily," he continued, "In exchange, you should keep an eye out for any new guests and notify me in time."

Su Luo wanted to take this opportunity to see how this female ghost would perform.

If she is diligent and serious, it would be nice for her to be a full-time night waitress in the future.

Anyway, the price he paid was just a corner of the wall.

…

Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian was allowed to stay in the tavern, Yan Chixia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Only at this time did he remember that he still had important things to do.

"I just killed the thousand-year-old tree demon. This is the body it left behind. Can I exchange it for time and space coins?" Yan Chixia pointed to the tree stump on the table.

Su Luo nodded and ordered the tavern to start testing the value.

[Five hundred years of practice, worth 12,500 Spacetime Coins.]

[Tree Demon Heart (one-time use), worth 20,000 Spacetime Coins.]

Seeing this result, Yan Chixia smiled.

This harvest has exceeded his expectations.

Su Luo nodded secretly, and combined with his experience in dealing with other corpses in the past few days, he reminded: "Next time you kill a demon, remember to bring it to the tavern as soon as possible, otherwise its value will be greatly reduced."

Just like the corpses of the vampire and werewolf ancestors that Selina had brought earlier, their blood had lost its activity due to being there for too long, so only their bloodline could be obtained, and it was impossible to sell their blood a second time.

In addition, the tree demon grandma claimed to be a thousand-year-old tree demon, but she had only been practicing Taoism for five hundred years, which surprised Su Luo a little.

It was already past midnight.

Today's wine list has been refreshed.

Yan Chixia turned her head and looked at the wine list.

After careful consideration, he only spent 12,500 time and space coins to purchase these five hundred years of Taoism.

He gained eight hundred years of cultivation in just a few days, and was afraid that his foundation would be unstable, so he planned to digest it for a while before making any decisions.

Even so, he still had more than 50,000 time-space coins left, which made Selena beside him envious.

Watching him excitedly walk out of the tavern holding the wine glass, Selena couldn't help but cast her eyes on the only limited edition wine made from the heart of the dryad.

[Tree Spirit Heart Wine, worth 20,000 Spacetime Coins.]

When she saw the effect of the wine, the expression of this former female vampire became extremely strange.

He could understand the increase of 500 years of cultivation and 1,000 years of lifespan, but what did this gender reversal mean? She stole a glance at Su Luo, wondering if this Mr. Su had any special hobbies.

Su Luo could see clearly and could vaguely sense Selena's emotions.

He had a blank expression on his face, but in his heart he was screaming that he was wronged.

The tree demon grandma is sometimes male and sometimes female, she is a hermaphrodite. What does it have to do with me that her body can brew this kind of wine? ...

The next morning.

After washing up, Su Luo went downstairs with his hands behind his back.

He was slightly surprised to see that the pub had been cleaned and even the wine on the rack had been sorted, making the whole pub a little brighter.

He glanced at the painting hanging in the corner, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but the person in the painting seemed to be smiling at him.

Su Luo nodded at the portrait.

He could put things back in place in the tavern, but he couldn't make it look so pleasing to the eye.

It turns out that I am not good at doing housework.

Walking to the bar, he first made himself some tea, during which the portrait shook slightly, as if peeking.

Su Luo didn't think much about it. He waited until the tea turned golden before he took a sip and slowly opened the door of the tavern.
