77 Kill Order
You extracted their souls from the instance?
In the empty living room, the boy's tall figure suddenly appeared.
Since we didn't leave the game immediately this time, the tea on the table had already cooled down.
Qin Fu'an poured it out and glanced at the time; less than 10 minutes had passed.
It was still early, so he sent a video call to Kong Yu.
However, when the video call connected, the first thing I saw was not Kong Yu, but a crimson figure squatting on top of Kong Yu's multicolored head.
"Father!" The cub's voice was crisp and clear.
Qin Fu'an remained silent for a moment, then met Kong Yu's ferocious gaze, which seemed to be filled with gritted teeth as if he wanted to devour a snake.
"Qin Fu'an! Come and take your stinky phoenix back right now!!!"
Kong Yu's roar came through the receiver, echoing throughout the entire hall.
Seeing his disheveled appearance, Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow and smiled, leaning back leisurely in his chair, and slowly replied, "You stinky peacock, what's your hurry? Now is not the time for you to dump that bunch of bastards on me?"
I've only been taking care of the baby birds for half a day, and I'm already breaking down?
Qin Fu'an's slow, deliberate question left Kong Yu speechless, a lump forming in his throat. He could only struggle futilely with anger: "I don't care! Hurry up, or I'll pluck your son's feathers and make soup!!"
These words were quite threatening, and as a result, the moment the words left his mouth, Little Phoenix plucked out a large portion of Kong Yu's most precious hair.
"Brother~" A sweet and soft voice remained clear even amidst the chaos.
Little Kong Li took her father's phone, held the camera up to her pretty, adorable, fair face, and asked with a smile, "Brother Fu'an, when are you coming to pick me and Xuan Yu up to play? I've already asked Mom to pack up all my toys and snacks!"
The implication is: everything is ready, and we are just waiting for Qin Fu'an to come and pick us up.
Upon seeing the little girl, Qin Fu'an became more approachable and said gently, "I'll come right now. Xiao Li, keep an eye on your father for me and tell him: My son is missing a single phoenix feather, and he has to compensate me with a whole body of peacock feathers."
"Okay~ I know!" Kong Li nodded obediently, and before the call was even over, she turned around and became a messenger.
The video call ended, and Qin Fu'an got up and walked out.
This time he drove a low-key, all-black car, which, when parked in front of the Demon Management Bureau, contrasted sharply with Kong Yu's messy, colorful hair.
"Don't rush off." Kong Yu's eyes were numb, and his appearance was haggard, as if some demon had drained his yang energy.
"father!"
"Brother Fu'an!!"
"father!!"
"Brother Fu'an!!!"
Two childish voices called out one after another, successfully interrupting Kong Yu's words.
He ground his back teeth. If it weren't for something urgent, he would have loved to pack up the two baby birds and send them to Qin Fu'an right now, and then tell them to get lost!
Qin Fu'an reached out and caught the two little birds, one green and one red, both with long tail feathers, which landed on his shoulder. An uninformed person might have thought he had just come out of the zoo after stealing birds.
In front of Kong Yu, the boy narrowed his eyes slightly, flicked one of the cubs with his finger, and said in a low voice, "Play by yourselves for now, I'll take you out to play later."
"Yay!" Kong Li cheered.
"I want to follow you!" The little phoenix clung tightly to his shoulder, refusing to let go.
For a moment, Kong Yu felt sorry for his daughter, but then he realized that his daughter was not only not crying, but smiling more brightly than flowers. He choked up and finally understood what it meant to be well raised rather than born well.
hateful!
With angry strides, he led the man into his office.
“Even ghosts have come,” he said in a low voice. “They came specifically to see you, and I heard they have something to ask of you. I can’t find a reason to refuse.”
The Ghost Capital is not only home to ghosts, but also to many demons and spirits who sought refuge there in the past. Over the past thousand years, they have become part of the Ghost Capital. However, the only ones that Kong Yu treats with such seriousness are the special ghosts of the Ghost Capital.
After a brief moment of thought, Qin Fu'an came to a conclusion. He was also curious about what those ghosts wanted from him, so he simply nodded in agreement to Kong Yu's idea of letting him meet with them.
Kong Yu lit incense and respectfully addressed Heaven and Earth. A wisp of yellow talisman at his fingertip quickly burned out, leaving only a wisp of shimmering white smoke rising in the air.
The office suddenly turned cold and gloomy, and a phantom figure slowly appeared before the two of them.
"Xie San?" Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow and called out the familiar address.
The boy, whom he called Xie San, bowed slowly to him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Qin, I've seen you in the live stream."
Kong Yu was still confused by this seemingly nonsensical remark, but Qin Fu'an's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Xie Zeyuan stood tall, watching Qin Fu'an chase Kong Yu out of the office, his illusory figure subtly concealing the smile in his eyes.
"A bizarre game? Players?" Qin Fu'an raised an eyebrow and looked at Xie Zeyuan.
"Yes." Xie Zeyuan bowed slightly, still unhurried: "I was fortunate to be chosen, but I encountered some trouble, otherwise I would not have come to disturb your cultivation."
Qin Fu'an looked at the ghost messenger walking in the mortal world, and after hearing his words, he couldn't help but feel a slight toothache.
He had dealt with Xie Zeyuan a few times. This kid seemed slow and unassuming, but he was actually cunning and vengeful. His schemes could circle the underworld. Ghosts and demons who knew him all knew that it was better to invite Xie Bi'an than to provoke Xie Zeyuan.
As Xie Bi'an's top salesman, Xie Zeyuan's sickly appearance was deeply etched in the hearts of every ghost. As his power grew, many demons and ghosts called him Xie San.
The reason it wasn't addressed as "Master" is because the two revered masters, Seventh Master and Eighth Master, are still standing above it.
Qin Fu'an hadn't expected Xie San to become a player.
Judging from this, this bizarre game... is really not picky at all.
They don't even spare demons and ghosts, let alone people.
It's unknown whether the entity behind this game can withstand Xie San's future retaliation.
After all, Xie San wasn't like Qin Fu'an, who picked up a wife in the game and kept taking advantage of her every day, treating game dungeons like coming home.
But what kind of trouble Xie Zeyuan was talking about?
Meeting his questioning gaze, Xie Zeyuan coughed twice and said slowly, "I have been put on a kill order."
Qin Fu'an: "...?"
It wasn't surprising, but I was really curious.
"What did you do?" Qin Fu'an sat in Kong Yu's seat and poured himself and Kong Yu a cup of tea.
Xie Zeyuan sat down opposite him, coughing weakly as he explained in a muffled voice, "I killed a few people in the first-tier dungeon. Unfortunately, they were from the Changsheng Guild, the Qingyun Guild, and the Changye Qunxing Guild."
After saying that, he suddenly flung out a pitch-black iron chain from his sleeve, on which were tied several nearly transparent souls.
"..." Qin Fu'an remained silent, hesitating to speak, then took a breath and asked him, "You extracted their souls from the dungeon?"
Xie Zeyuan blinked, a sinister smile spreading across his pale face: "It's a professional habit, I just arrested him without thinking."
"So, are you planning to hand them over?" Qin Fu'an looked at the few teetering, almost vanishing souls.
"These were already souls that had been taken away, so how can they be handed over?" Xie Zeyuan flicked his wrist and put the souls back into his sleeve.
This answer did not surprise Qin Fu'an.
"If I hadn't accidentally seen your live stream, I probably would have already accepted the Hundred Ghosts Guild's invitation," Xie Zeyuan continued. "But I've always been lucky; a dead end is the best way out for me."
So when he was at his wit's end, when all that was left was death, Xie Zeyuan saw Qin Fu'an on the screen, who was focused on taking care of his wife.
"Mr. Qin, I'd like to team up with you." He got straight to the point.
Qin Fu'an held the scalding hot teacup between his fingertips. The clear tea water swirled gently, and the rising steam obscured their eyes and brows, preventing either of them from seeing the other's emotions through their eyes.
"Teaming up is possible."
Qin Fu'an chuckled and said, "But Xie San, what can you give me?"
Teaming up with him would mean facing the kill orders of the three major guilds. Qin Fu'an could have stayed out of it, so why did Xie Zeyuan think he would agree?
Xie Zeyuan wasn't an arrogant fool, so Qin Fu'an was very curious about the reward he could offer.
As expected, his question did not stump Xie Zeyuan. The illusory young man coughed and chuckled softly. Under Xie Zeyuan's gaze, he threw out the bait word by word: "I have nothing of value. The only useful thing is my identity in the Ghost Capital. If you don't mind, when your lover comes out of that world in the future, in addition to his identity in the mortal world, perhaps you would also be willing to let him have an identity in the Ghost Capital that is recognized by the cycle of reincarnation?"
Qin Fu'an's fingers tightened slightly as he felt the scalding heat on the cup, and he chuckled softly.
"Thank you, San. It's a pleasure doing business with you."
He admitted that Xie Zeyuan offered him a reward he couldn't refuse.
