Chapter 84 Chapter 84 A Dragon Was Seen!
Even with their combined efforts, geographers Li and Liu failed to subdue the evil spirit and were injured in the process. Ren Kai still paid them as usual, since one should never offend a geographer.
After explaining what happened last night, Ren Kai looked at Jiang Mingyue nervously, "Miss Jiang, if you can help break the feng shui formation and get rid of that evil spirit, you can name your reward."
Jiang Mingyue raised an eyebrow; the reward was up to her.
She glanced subtly at Yan Qian, who was observing from the sidelines. Yan Qian shook his head at her, implying that it wasn't his idea.
Jiang Mingyue laughed and said, "President Ren, aren't you afraid I'll ask for an exorbitant price of one hundred million?"
Secretary Ren Kai's eyelids twitched violently. Goodness, this Miss Jiang is really bold. Isn't she afraid of getting herself into trouble?
Ren Kai wasn't surprised at all. "One hundred million is no problem, as long as Miss Jiang helps resolve this troublesome matter."
Bishui Construction has already lost money anyway. Selling it to Jinghua Group for 200 million wouldn't even recoup the cost. So, spending 100 million to befriend Yan Qian and Miss Jiang is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.
Moreover, the person his second uncle hired back then demanded more than 100 million.
Ren Kai's calculations were practically jumping into Yan Qian's face, but Yan Qian didn't get involved, leaving the payment to Jiang Mingyue to decide.
With her abilities, even if she wanted a billion, there would be plenty of people willing to give it to her.
Jiang Mingyue had planned ahead before she came. She bought two houses and a car. She didn't have much savings left, but she wasn't short of money.
One hundred million was just a joke.
"President Ren, the reward after the job is done is ten million. Eight million will be donated to the Huai County Red Cross Society in the name of Bishui Construction to help poor families or those who are unable to afford medical treatment for serious illnesses. The remaining two million will be transferred to my account."
Ren Kai could hardly believe his ears when the price dropped from 100 million to 10 million. He had met his second parents!
He hurriedly got up and kowtowed to Jiang Mingyue again, but Jiang Mingyue stopped him with her hand, saying, "Since you've asked for payment, there's no need to kowtow to express your gratitude."
Ren Kai was taken aback, but seeing that Jiang Mingyue insisted, he slowly straightened up.
He finally understood why Miss Jiang was respected by Yan Qian. Miss Jiang was clear about her grievances, acted decisively, and was upright and honest in her conduct.
He's too petty.
"Ms. Jiang, I will do as you instruct. Once the matter is settled, I will provide you with the relevant proof."
After discussing the important matters, everyone began to eat. During the meal, Ren Kai asked Jiang Mingyue when they would deal with the female ghost and whether they needed any tools or other supplies.
After finishing a piece of corn, Jiang Mingyue said unhurriedly, "We'll go tonight. You don't need to prepare anything; I have my own plans."
Yan Qian handed the unopened tissues to Jiang Mingyue, saying, "I'll go with you, just in case we need them."
Jiang Mingyue was afraid of trouble and didn't want to bring so many people to join in the fun. The main reason was that she couldn't let anyone discover the existence of the Earth Dragon.
"I advise you not to go, or you'll have nightmares at night."
Ren Kai dared not interrupt. It wasn't just a nightmare; he hadn't slept a wink all night, and had been completely distracted all day, his worldview being thoroughly reshaped!
Yan Qian backed down, "Then I won't go in, I'll just wait for you on the street outside."
Although she is capable, she is still a girl after all. Besides, this matter can only benefit Jinghua, so he should go and accompany her.
Since Yan Qian insisted, Jiang Mingyue didn't say anything more, "You can decide for yourself."
Seeing this, Ren Kai hurriedly said that he would also go over to keep Yan Qian company and pass the time. Suddenly, it dawned on him that if he went over, wouldn't he be a third wheel?
He has eyes and can see that Yan Qian not only respects Jiang Mingyue, but also shows her a touch of care.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed his tune, "I'll be waiting for you two at the sales office."
At midnight, a young woman stood on the highest roof of the steel factory, wearing only a thin sweatshirt, unfazed by the biting wind, like a deity descending to earth, looking down at the demons and monsters below.
Jiang Mingyue raised her right hand, and a burst of qi rose up, accompanied by flames in her palm, shooting straight towards the southwest corner.
Sparks flew and lightning flashed along the way, crackling and popping, filling the air with the stench of burning.
The demon caught off guard: "!"
This can't be done like that! Who starts with fire right away?! Shouldn't they chant some scriptures and scatter some rice first, like those two old men did yesterday?!
Jiang Mingyue turned her head and saw the Yin Sheng, who was huddled in the forest. He was the evil ghost who had cultivated for a thousand years and was greedy for the human world.
"I'm giving you two choices: either you vanish into thin air, or you go report to the underworld yourself."
The demon bared its teeth, glaring fiercely at the formidable girl who had suddenly appeared.
"Who are you? What gives you the right to tell me what to do?"
Jiang Mingyue leaped into the air and landed silently. Wearing short boots, she walked step by step toward the evil spirit.
“I am your benefactor, here to help you. You have been trapped here for a thousand years, waiting for someone who has never existed. Why bother?”
The evil spirit, its sore spot stepped on, was furious and, without saying a word, whipped up a gust of wind and pounced on the annoying, self-righteous, and arrogant girl!
Jiang Mingyue quickly dodged, clicking her tongue twice, "You blush when you get anxious. Look at you, you're so impatient."
The demon, mocked and provoked: "..."
Where did this weird girl come from?! She's not afraid of her at all.
"None of your business!"
The evil spirit stirred up a powerful gust of wind once more and attacked Jiang Mingyue fiercely.
Jiang Mingyue suppressed her smile, her eyes filled with disdain, and clasped her hands together, forming a hand seal to summon.
In an instant, a wall of water suddenly descended from the sky, blocking the strong wind. The evil spirit had never seen such a situation before. The water wall was thick and hard, and the strong wind could not penetrate it!
The evil spirit tried many times but failed each time, and said in a fit of anger, "You can't stay in there forever!"
"Who said I was going to stay in there forever? Joker, it's your turn to shine!"
The ground dragon hovering within the wall of water nearly fell to the ground. Its name was Clown.
Never mind, let it be a clown. Once it transforms into a dragon, hmph, I'll definitely make her look at me in a new light.
The water wall appeared and disappeared just as miraculously. The evil spirit paled and stared in disbelief at the ground dragon that was coiled upright behind the young girl.
A dragon, over ten meters long, stood obediently behind the girl, its head enormous and its eyes almost the size of a football.
The girl had nothing to control the dragon; her left hand hung naturally at her side, her right hand was in her pocket, and she stood with an elegant posture.
When the dragon behind her faced her, it was as docile as a pet dog; but when it turned to look at her, it was ferocious and menacing.
In the dead of night, in an abandoned graveyard, a man and a dragon suddenly appeared, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
The evil spirit panicked! This girl could actually control a dragon! Just who was she?!
Both being beings with a thousand years of cultivation, the Earth Dragon has been cultivating and waiting to transform into a dragon. Evil spirits cannot and should not deal with this thing, otherwise they will be discovered by the Heavenly Dao.
This girl couldn't beat her, so she resorted to underhanded tactics!
"If you're so capable, let's fight one-on-one! Why bring helpers?!"
Jiang Mingyue raised her hand to smooth her wind-blown hair. "I could crush you with one hand. I just don't want to get my hands dirty."
The Earth Dragon: "..." Fine, I can't get her hands dirty.
The evil spirit was speechless. Seeing that things were not going well, it turned to run away. Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.
Jiang Mingyue gave the order, "Clown!"
The ground dragon leaped up in a flash, opened its mouth and bit the evil spirit, its tail wrapping around the evil spirit from head to tail.
No matter how the evil spirit struggled, it was all in vain. It had already solidified into a soul, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage.
The Earth Dragon is naturally fearless of demons and evil spirits, and can crush all monsters and demons.
The smell of a dragon and a demon locked in combat was unpleasant, so Jiang Mingyue took out a mask, put it on, and stood still.
"I told you to choose, but you wouldn't listen. Keeping you around would only cause trouble. So, clown, this evil spirit is yours."
Jiang Mingyue opened her right hand, and flames rose from her palm. Using her inner energy, she swept it around, and wherever she went, the remaining yin energy and stench instantly vanished.
The next instant, Jiang Mingyue made a hand seal and summoned a water wall. The ground dragon quickly rushed into it, its qi rising and lifting the water wall, sending it towards the Three Rivers River.
The top floor of Bishui Haoyuan, on the 32nd floor.
One homeowner got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, but then his craving for a cigarette kicked in. He didn't dare smoke in the living room for fear of being discovered by his wife, so he went to the living room balcony.
The direction the homeowner was standing in was directly opposite the abandoned cemetery. He rubbed his eyes, and it seemed like he saw a flash of light there.
The cemetery was moved two years ago. Are there still villagers going there to pay their respects?
That's not right. You don't need to perform a ritual at midnight! Seven or eight o'clock in the evening is fine too.
The homeowner rubbed his eyes again. The firelight was gone. He must have been seeing things and mistaking the distant streetlights for firelight.
When the homeowner finished his cigarette and his gaze fell on that spot again, he saw something he would never forget for the rest of his life.
He saw a dragon!
A waterspout appeared on the Sanshui River, with the dragon's head appearing and disappearing, and its tail slapping against the water's surface.
There really is a giant dragon inside!
Aaaaaah!
He said that dragons are one of the twelve zodiac animals, so how could there be no dragons in reality! Our ancestors really didn't lie to them!
The homeowner quickly returned to the living room to get his phone, then went back to the balcony. The Sanshui River was calm and still, without a single ghost in sight.
The homeowner was extremely regretful and angrily pounded on the railing, wishing he had taken his phone with him while smoking.
However, he really did see a dragon!
The homeowner was so excited he couldn't sleep. He rushed into the bedroom to pat his wife, shouting, "Wake up, old woman! I just saw a dragon!"
The old woman was sleeping soundly when she was groggily woken up. When she heard her husband talking nonsense, she was furious and slapped him across the face.
"Fuck you, dragon! Why don't you just say you saw will-o'-the-wisps?!"
The homeowner, seemingly unfazed by the beating, approached with a grin, saying, "I saw the will-o'-the-wisp too! It's right there in that abandoned cemetery diagonally across the street!"
"Are you crazy! If you can't sleep, go mop the floor!" The old man kicked the homeowner away, turned over, and continued to snore.
The homeowner rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath, "All he does is sleep, sleep, sleep. He's lucky. No way, he has to post this on his WeChat Moments and show off!"
At the same time, in an inconspicuous house in the suburbs of Beijing, a thousand miles away.
An old man fell off his bed with a thud and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The sudden change jolted the old man awake. He endured the sharp pain in his chest, climbed to the edge of the bed, and looked out the window.
Who, who exactly broke his feng shui arrangement?!
