Qiao Ruoxi squatted in front of the chainsaw man, her eyes curved in a smile, like a little fox: "Are you free? Let's chat."
Chainsaw Man: ...Does he have a choice?
"Is Chen Lingran's soul with you?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
The chainsaw man hugged the chainsaw tighter. "He, he signed a contract with me, promising to give me his yang energy. It's a matter of our mutual consent. You, you, you..."
"He signed a contract with you. It's not my place to get involved. So, let me make a deal. Give me Shen Lingran's soul, and I'll give you a luxurious package to help you survive and be reborn. How about that?"
The chainsaw man was stunned and blinked his eyes. "You, you are lying! No, how about introducing this Du'e Set Meal?"
A group of ghosts: ...some backbone, but not much.
"This package includes two items. First, you died unjustly, and the resentment you carry is too strong, so the lower level refuses to accept you. I can help you get rid of the resentment in you."
"Secondly, I will point out an auspicious time for you to be reborn, so that you will have no worries about food and clothing in your next life."
"One living soul in exchange for a package of salvation, a guaranteed profit, how about it?"
All the ghosts showed envious expressions and regretted that they did not have a living soul in their hands.
The Chainsaw Man was obviously tempted: "But, that soul has been in my stomach for five days. If I spit it out to you, you won't give me a discount on the meal?"
"Spit it out first and let me see." Qiao Ruoxi narrowed her eyes.
There are many ways to absorb yang energy, but this chainsaw man chose the most disgusting one, which is to eat a person and then slowly digest him.
The chainsaw man pressed his tongue and started to spit it out with a "whoa" sound.
Qiao Ruoxi swallowed and turned her head away.
How come this chainsaw man is even more...indescribable than Pei Yaori?
"It's vomited out, can you check it out, Master?" The chainsaw man patted Qiao Ruoxi's shoulder.
Qiao Ruoxi took a look and saw Chen Lingran's soul lying straight in the filth. Fortunately, his three souls and six spirits were all there. He would recover naturally if he exposed himself to the sun and absorbed more yang energy.
It's just... too dirty to touch.
"If anyone can take him to get cleaned, I will also give him a Sue meal." Qiao Ruoxi really couldn't bring herself to do it.
A group of ghosts rushed forward, took Shen Lingran’s living soul and disappeared for a while, and when they came back, they could finally see it.
Finally, Qiao Ruoxi, a ghost, sent a luxurious package to save the ghosts, and sent all the ghosts away, leaving only three evil ghosts.
The evil ghost wanders outside the three realms, and its final fate is to be struck by the thunder of heaven and reduced to ashes.
The three evil ghosts looked at Qiao Ruoxi tremblingly.
"I always treat everyone equally. Since this package of salvation is not useful to you, why don't you stay with me and practice? If you really have the opportunity, perhaps you can shed your identity as a fierce ghost and enter reincarnation again."
The three evil spirits were startled and kowtowed to Qiao Ruoxi in unison: "Thank you, great god, for taking us in!"
Qiao Ruoxi summoned Pei Yaori and pointed at the three evil spirits: "They are under your care from now on. You will lead them in cultivation."
Pei Yaori quickly agreed.
Good guy, he finally made it and got promoted!
Pei Yaori tilted his head back, straightened his suit, and raised his fist high: "Listen carefully, our goal is to obey orders! Punish evil and promote good! Practice well! Repeat after me!"
"Follow orders! Punish evil and promote good! Practice well!"
"Let's go on patrol!" Pei Yaori waved his long arm, and the three evil spirits immediately lined up and followed behind Pei Yaori.
Qiao Ruoxi:...Okay, as long as you don’t say you are hers when you go out.
There was a rustling sound at her feet. Qiao Ruoxi lowered her head and saw that Shen Lingran had woken up at some point. He was staring with his big eyes at the backs of Pei Yaori and a group of evil spirits as they left.
"It's so sudden, I seem to see Uncle Pei..." Shen Lingran shuddered and closed his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Lingran met Qiao Ruoxi's playful eyes.
He screamed and tried to stand up, but he used too much force and flew straight to the ceiling, then fell heavily down.
He moved his hands and feet in disbelief, and suddenly began to cry.
"Am I dead? I haven't even become a household name yet, how could I be dead?"
Qiao Ruoxi's ears ached from his howling: "Alright, you're not dead yet, get out of here."
"Qiao Ruoxi, can you see me? Wait, you said I'm not dead? But I clearly remember being eaten by a ghost!"
"You little brat, it was of course my sister-in-law who saved you. Why don't you kowtow and thank her?" Pei Yaori came back at some point.
Seeing that only Pei Yaori had returned, Qiao Ruoxi asked, "Where are the other ghosts?"
"I have taught them the method. They are on patrol now. The eye of the formation is still open. Who knows, there might be wandering ghosts trying to get their heads here." Pei Yaori yawned leisurely.
Shen Lingran: ...As expected of a Pei family member, a natural born leader.
"Qiao Ruoxi, really, you really saved me? Why did you save me? Just because I am your brother?" At the end, Shen Lingran felt a little lacking in confidence.
"You think too much. You're bothering me. Jingshi Yuanzhou Private Hospital, cherish the days when you can still walk on your own two feet. Goodbye." Qiao Ruoxi waved her hand and ignored Shen Lingran.
Concentrate on sealing the center of the formation.
Shen Lingran looked at Qiao Ruoxi with a complicated expression, but he didn't say anything else. He turned around and floated out the window.
He floated to Yuanzhou Private Hospital in Jing City, returned to his body, opened his eyes again, and clearly saw the ceiling above his head.
He really didn't die, he was alive again.
It was Qiao Ruoxi who saved him, and everything that happened in the ward in the past few days also flooded into his mind along with the memories.
He slowly sat up and saw his mother lying beside his bed, sleeping soundly.
Shen Lingran's eyes turned red, and he felt guilty.
He is already an adult, but he still makes his mother worry about him. His mother and father even had a big fight because of him.
Also, he had no home, so in order to get Qiao Ruoxi to save him, his mother transferred the mountaintop villa to Qiao Ruoxi.
But for some reason, after he knew about this, he couldn't hate Qiao Ruoxi anymore. Perhaps it was because his life was saved by Qiao Ruoxi.
He found his phone on the bedside table, opened the trending search, and saw his name high on the trending search list.
Shen Lingran was delighted, but when he saw the content on the hot search, it was like someone poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
All major media outlets competed to report on his summoning of the Pen Spirit in the horror chamber that day, saying that he was spreading feudal culture and harming himself and others for the sake of gaining traffic and attention, and even gave him the title of a bad artist.
Just like what the Pen Fairy said that day, his name would become famous outside the entertainment industry and be reported by all major media, but he would just be regarded as a bad artist.
Shen Lingran suddenly laughed, and then burst into tears.
His legs hurt so much that they were numb and he was completely numb from the pain.
Chen Qin was awakened by Shen Lingran's movement. Her first reaction was surprise, but when she saw Shen Lingran touching her empty calf, she couldn't help but cry along with him.
At this time, there was a knock on the ward door.
"My name is Zhuo Yanting. Mr. Shen is awake, can we chat for a few minutes?"
