Chapter 92 Snow Crystal City's Ghost Market
Seeing that Wen Shu had gone with the relevant manager, Su Yu left and found a secluded place to quickly change into the Ghost Lord's mask.
Then he simply used the system's teleportation ability and brazenly entered the study of the little boss of the ghost market.
Zhao Si had just finished reprimanding a subordinate and was feeling refreshed when he returned to his study to see if there was anything new that had happened that day.
But as he approached the door, he keenly sensed a hint of something unusual.
Zhao Si remained unfazed, continuing his stride and coldly snorting, "Where did this coward come from, daring to..."
A look of terror appeared in Zhao Si's eyes.
In the seat that was originally his, sat a black-clad demon leaning against the armrest, holding a newly compiled ledger in his hand.
No, the ledger isn't that important now.
Because of that familiar mask, and also because of the faintly warm helm seal in his arms, a reaction that only occurs when the Ghost Lord's Seal gets close.
This is their demon lord!
What did he just say?
Oh, it's "rat-like creatures".
With a "thump".
Then he scrambled toward the Ghost Lord, crying and wailing, "Ghost Lord, please forgive me! Please forgive me! I was blind and didn't recognize you. I didn't know it was the Ghost Lord who had graced us with his presence. Oh dear, my eyes are really useless; I didn't even recognize you!"
Seeing that this leader was all talk and no action, but was crying out with such genuine emotion, Su Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.
"Hey!" Zhao Si realized that the Ghost Lord had no intention of arguing, so he quickly got up and said ingratiatingly, "Why did you come to such a small place as Snow Crystal City? Oh, I mean, if you come here, we can pick you up. The Ghost Market branch of Snow Crystal City is happy to serve you at any time."
Su Yu tapped the table in front of her and said coldly, "Quiet."
Zhao Si immediately shut up.
Time passed second by second, and the Ghost Lord was still looking at the ledger.
Fine beads of cold sweat gradually appeared on Zhao Si's forehead.
Finally, the Demon Lord spoke.
"Looking at this account, something seems amiss." A cold gaze swept over him, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
Zhao Sitian's world has collapsed.
No way, this Ghost Lord actually understands it?! And he hired so many accounting geniuses and paid them so high salaries! What a loss! A huge loss!
Su Yu tilted her head leisurely and asked softly, "Zhao Si, are you in charge? Do you have anything to explain?"
With a "thump".
Zhao Si knelt down again.
He stammered, "No, no, no, this, this, this is a fake account."
He shakily took out another ledger from his storage ring and respectfully presented it with both hands.
"This, this is real, please take a look, Ghost Lord."
Su Yu accepted the real ledger with indescribable emotions.
No, this Zhao Si, who was in charge, dared to falsify accounts, and he actually slid to his knees so quickly?
Is he bold or timid?
This was actually the demon from his ghost market.
Su Yu glanced at the ledger and suddenly raised an eyebrow, saying, "An underground arena?"
“Yes,” Zhao Si said, his eyes gleaming with the promise of money. “Those fake accounts are for other demons to see. After all, fighting beasts is still officially prohibited in Snow Crystal City. We’re just catering to the preferences of certain demons to make a little money.”
"And what about the discount?"
Zhao Si stopped rubbing his hands and wiped away his cold sweat: "That's right, it's just to do those great demons a favor."
Su Yu chuckled and said coldly, "The Ghost Market doesn't offer preferential treatment to mediocre people."
He tossed the ledger back, speaking casually.
"It's fine to be greedy, but if you're spineless when it comes to dealing with outsiders, you won't be able to stay in the Ghost Market."
"Handle it yourself, then report to your superior and accept the punishment."
Zhao Si hurriedly agreed, and then carefully asked the Ghost Lord if he had any further instructions.
Why did the boss end up in this small place?
Zhao Si was very puzzled.
Su Yu took out the prescription: "Send a message to other ghost markets to find the medicine, and send an alchemist over. Be discreet and as fast as possible."
As the largest and most powerful underground trading market, the Ghost Market attracts a lot of attention from demons. This time, the demonic plant they sought was to heal the injuries caused by the Demon Lord, and Su Yu did not want any demons to investigate the relationship between the Ghost Market and the disciples of the Abyss Mansion.
Zhao Si was shocked: "Where were you injured?! Are those bastards around you just sitting around doing nothing?! How could they make such a huge mistake! You should have let my demon guard you, I guarantee..."
Su Yu's brow twitched: "Shut up, you're not hurt, just go do your work."
"Yes." Zhao Si quickly shut his mouth, secretly regretting that he hadn't succeeded in sending the demon to the Ghost Lord's side. "Alas, my men, he did his best to secure your futures."
After Zhao Si left, Su Yu took out the communication stone and began contacting the perfect demonic selection to expel the demonic energy from Feng Huaijin.
A demon of death in the eyes of all demons.
Her actions would go unnoticed.
Master is about to enter the Tribulation Transcending stage, so this Uncle-Master must be about the same, at the same level as the Demon Lord, which should be enough.
Su Yu received a reply quickly.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that her uncle, now fully recovered, was still quite reliable.
With all these matters settled, Su Yu figured things were almost done with Wen Shu, so she changed back into her original attire and went to find the demon.
The location for verifying eligibility for the discount is on the first floor. Behind the lobby are several corridors leading to different verification points.
Su Yu stopped at the entrance of the alchemist verification point.
Let's also see how the demon below handles unexpected situations.
This Snow Crystal City must have something special about it; strange things happen far too often.
A farce is unfolding inside the door.
"What do you mean by this Ghost Market? This poor rogue cultivator has already passed the verification, but our Ru Lian is the second young lady of the Xue family, a Snow Maiden chosen to serve the sacred beast. How dare you refuse her!"
Several teenagers surrounded the dejected and pitiful girl in the middle, angrily demanding an explanation from the demons working in the ghost market. Even the manager was summoned.
The manager inwardly rolled his eyes, but outwardly remained polite and courteous.
Their leaders had just issued an order that those enjoying preferential treatment must be verified according to the unified standards of other ghost markets. They would no longer give these young masters and ladies special privileges the title of being recognized by the ghost market, and all the qualifications they had previously granted were taken back.
Sigh, all those bribes they received before have to be returned, and everyone in the Snow Crystal City Ghost Market is heartbroken.
Who told them to be discovered by the powerful demon above?
So the manager said sarcastically, "Our Ghost Market is absolutely fair and just. If it's not good, it's not good. Young masters and ladies, you should go back and practice more. Maybe you'll succeed next time?"
"That Shi family member's alchemy talent is even inferior to Ru Lian's! How can he be qualified?"
The manager, who knew the client's identity perfectly, calmly replied, "When he came before, our standards were wrong. Now, none of those apply, and he's not qualified."
Seeing that these young demons were still unwilling to accept their defeat, the manager became too lazy to deal with these penniless juniors and instead looked enthusiastically at Wen Shu, who had already completed the verification.
Wen Shu had just been dragged down and looked somewhat bewildered.
He pointed to himself, realizing that the demon in charge had ignored all the young masters and ladies and came to talk to him, a rogue cultivator, for the first time.
"Oh my, you must be the demon who was just successfully verified? You're truly... uh, a young prodigy! Come, come, let me explain the specific procedures to you."
"With this badge from our Ghost Market, you can buy Ghost Market goods at 95% of the original price. Oh, and as long as you pay these pills every month or have a new formula, 85% of the original price is no problem!"
Hehe, new pills and new formulas, they're incredibly valuable, okay?
With just a little bit of operation...
The way this manager was calculating accounts with his eyes gleaming was exactly the same as his boss, Zhao Si, the young helmsman. It was uncanny.
