Chapter 542 Follow Me and I'll Have Meat
Yue Mushan said bitterly and sweetly, "I would rather she be a little selfish."
The fox demon pretended to be angry and pushed Yue Mushan's shoulder, and as usual, he joked with his good brothers: "Okay, stop being so ungrateful."
He grumbled, "You always show off your affection in front of me."
Yue Mushan did not delve into the hidden jealousy in the fox demon's words.
He was anxiously thinking about how to ask for leave to go find Ye Xiaoman. She didn't know how to take care of herself. Maybe she was injured and lying at home, waiting for him to go back and take care of her.
The fox demon looked down at the ditch beside him. A layer of gray floated on the surface of the sewage, reflecting his disheveled face. Under the dim light of the mining lamp, the shiny red fur of the fox's ears was covered with gray, turning into a very dirty rock red.
He withdrew his gaze and, amid Yue Mushan's anxious words, turned to look at the back of his hand holding the mining shovel. The hand is a person's second face. The skin on the back of his hand was dried by the wind, with tiny cracks, pitifully red, and felt rough to the touch.
The fox demon suddenly felt very indignant.
Yun Hu's background in the demon world is not weak. He has a handsome appearance and is smart. Otherwise, he would not have been chosen by the Demon King to be Yue Mushan's attendant.
Unfortunately, no matter how high his overall strength is, he cannot surpass Yue Mushan, because he is the young master of the demon world.
Yue Mushan was a mild-tempered man, and treated him as a good brother, with whom he grew up, and would share delicious food and drinks with him, but the natural gap in their status was always evident.
No matter where they went, Yue Mushan walked in front and he followed behind; when attending celebrations, Yue Mushan changed into a noble dress and he knelt beside him to adjust the hem of his clothes; Yue Mushan did not learn magic well, so he had to take the scolding from the teacher on Yue Mushan's behalf; Yue Mushan could even fall in love with He Meimei when he was exiled to the demon world, but he could only stand by and watch.
Buddhism teaches that all beings are equal, but in reality, fairness often seems out of reach. Yue Mushan simply had good innate luck, having been reborn earlier than others, and thus had an incredibly smooth life.
Now, Yue Mushan's good luck comes into play again.
Ye Xiaoman is powerful and intelligent, and will surely be a remarkable figure in the future. Such a potential treasure, born with the power to be a playboy, but is also a lovesick person. Yue Mushan bet on the right treasure early on, and in the future, the couple will surely be able to enjoy a happy and loving life together, and be the envy of others.
The fox demon thought indignantly, apart from the fact that his background was not as good as Yue Mushan's, all his conditions were no worse than Yue Mushan's, so why didn't anyone see his good points beyond Yue Mushan's?
The fox demon's tone became even more sour: "Amu, now that you have awakened your bloodline and found a good partner, the gap between us will be even greater than the difference between heaven and earth."
Yue Mushan didn't understand why the fox demon didn't help him with any advice, but instead kept making sarcastic remarks.
He frowned and said, "We are good friends, don't say anything hurtful."
"Amu."
When Ye Xiaoman walked into the mine, the miners' discussions became quieter. They followed Ye Xiaoman in fear, watching her walk towards Yue Mushan with a bright look.
Those mining tycoons who had challenged Ye Xiaoman were relieved that Ye Xiaoman had shown mercy and did not wipe out their entire clan overnight.
Yue Mushan was happy. He would never stand still and wait for Ye Xiaoman to come closer. He would run all the way towards her.
The mud under his feet was splashed, and the sleeves of his short blue jacket fluttered in the wind.
"Sister." He rushed to Ye Xiaoman, panting slightly. He didn't care to calm down his breath. He grabbed her shoulders with both hands and scanned her body eagerly, not missing any details. "Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, I'm fine." Ye Xiaoman took out the Miao Dao that she had snatched back from Foreman Qiu and put it in Yue Mushan's arms, returning it to its rightful owner.
Yue Mushan didn't even look at it and hung the Miao Dao back on his waist. He was sure that Ye Xiaoman didn't even have any flesh wounds. The suppressed emotions were finally swept away. He didn't care that so many people were watching and directly hugged Ye Xiaoman in his arms.
"You are not allowed to take risks again!"
Ye Xiaoman found that Yue Mushan seemed very moved. Perhaps the Miao Dao was very important to him.
She didn't take it too seriously, as Yue Mushan was about to be moved even more.
The supervisor was promoted to Ghost Envoy and became a general under her, so the position of Chief Mineral Manager became vacant.
The chief mine manager is equivalent to a senior civil servant, managing the flow of minerals in and out of the mine and having the power of life and death over all miners. It is a lucrative job.
Ye Xiaoman is a down-to-earth person. Once she becomes rich, she will take the people around her to enjoy a good life. If the eldest sister Sang Hua also comes to the ghost world, she will definitely appoint the sisters as ghost messengers.
Ye Xiaoman promoted Yue Mushan to a civil servant without taking an exam, and then promoted him to mine supervisor.
As for why Yue Mushan was only promoted to mine supervisor instead of directly promoted to ghost envoy? A ghost envoy has to manage an entire city, and the work is too busy, while Yue Mushan has to take care of his family.
Amidst everyone's envious and jealous gazes, Yue Mushan accepted the appointment with a smile and became a gigolo under Ye Xiaoman's control.
Because the fox demon was Yue Mushan's friend, he also got a piece of the pie. Seeing that he often came to her house to help with the work, Ye Xiaoman promoted him to a ghost soldier so that he could move to live outside the mine and no longer have to work hard at mining.
As for the crane demon who often flattered Ye Xiaoman, Ye Xiaoman also appointed him as a miner team leader because of his good looks.
The fox demon and the crane demon were naturally very grateful.
Ye Xiaoman did not stay long and rushed to the general's mansion with Yue Mushan to take over the property of the Ghost General.
The General's Mansion is located in the most prosperous area of the city, surrounded by thick black fog. Ordinary ghosts will stay away from this area to show respect.
Ye Xiaoman stood in front of the gate of the general's mansion, looking up at the high walls and deep courtyard in front of her.
Ji Wenyi's subordinates have cleared out the evil spirits inside, and now only an empty building remains.
The General's Mansion has very ghost-like characteristics.
The wall was built of huge black stones, and the two gates were also black. A trace of evil energy came out from the cracks in the wall.
Two stone-carved ghost beasts squatted at the door, with red eyes and fangs, looking lifelike, as if they would pounce on and tear living people to pieces at any time. On their foreheads was a golden ghost-suppressing talisman used exclusively in the divine realm.
The clatter of horse hooves stopped.
Yue Mushan jumped off the carriage.
The carriage was filled with furniture, kitchen utensils, clothes and other daily necessities that he had packed and shipped from his small house. In fact, he also had these things in his new residence, but Yue Mushan felt that the old items carried the memories of his life with Ye Xiaoman, and he was reluctant to throw them away.
A blank scroll and a brush were floating beside Yue Mushan.
Ye Xiaoman pointed at the ghost beast in front of the door and the strange human skin lanterns on both sides, "Tear it down."
"I'll arrange it." Yue Mushan's cat ears stood up, and he nodded with the temperament of a butler, and the brush automatically recorded under the scroll.
