Chapter 611 Borrowing Flowers to Offer to... a Ghost!

"Oh, you've figured out how to break her spell?"

Jin Chanzi looked at Xiao Ran with anticipation, but Xiao Ran did not intend to follow Jin Chanzi's ideas.

“Of course.” Xiao Ran nodded with a smile: “Since someone is throwing a big banquet, I might as well take advantage of it.”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the pumpkin: "I'll take all eighteen dishes."

Pumpkin didn't know what he was going to do, but seeing Xiao Ran's calm demeanor, as if he already had a plan, he simply nodded to Ghost Doctor and the others.

Upon hearing that Xiao Ran had taken on all eighteen dishes, everyone at the table looked at her with gratitude. The Ghost Doctor wanted to say something, but when he noticed Pumpkin's impatient gaze sweeping over him, he wisely shut his mouth.

Ultimately, we're all in the same boat now.

Regardless of how many negative stars there are, the priority is always to save each other's lives.

After saying that, Xiao Ran stood up and pointed to several tables: "I'll also take care of their meals. Eighteen dishes per table, nothing can be missing, bring them all. I'll pay the bill tonight."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, even Pumpkin nearly popped his eyes out: "Are you crazy? How many negative stars will this increase? Or do you not know the effect of negative stars??"

“If you want to survive, I’ve shown you the way. Do it if you want to, or do it if you don’t.”

Xiao Ran looked up at the pumpkin, her gaze firm, without the slightest hint of joking.

"You're insane, you're insane! You're fucking insane! If you're going to die, don't drag everyone down with you!" Ghost Doctor pointed at Xiao Ran in a fit of rage. "The more negative stars we have, the stronger Zhang Jingmin's abilities will become. When he completes the ritual, we'll all die."

The ghost doctor's silence only made things worse. Seeing his furious expression, Xiao Ran's face suddenly darkened. "You still have the nerve to say that if it weren't for the tricks of the Changchun gang, this place wouldn't be like this? In the end, Zhang Jingmin's situation is somewhat forgivable, but you beast, you deserve to die a hundred times over!"

The Ghost Doctor couldn't help but grin and sneer, "Then go ahead and kill me. I'm standing right here. If you dare, try it. If you piss me off, we'll all be finished."

The Ghost Doctor is so arrogant because he's confident that the rules prevent either side from making a move.

"Come on, hit me! You can't hit me, hitting me is against the rules. If you don't hit me, I can refuse to serve you any food. If the food on this table isn't complete, you'll be punished according to the rules."

"Fuck your grandma!"

Seeing the Ghost Doctor's arrogant demeanor, everyone at the table wanted nothing more than to grind him to dust, pointing their fingers and cursing, "You old beast!! You'll die a horrible death!"

Although everyone cursed incessantly, no one dared to risk breaking the rules and attack the Ghost Doctor.

"Hmph, a bunch of ants." The Ghost Doctor raised his head: "So what? You hate me, but you can't kill me. From beginning to end, the value of you people is nothing more than a pile of consumables."

The Ghost Doctor made sarcastic remarks from the side, while Pumpkin watched coldly. She also wanted to cooperate with Xiao Ran, but cooperation did not mean endless concessions. Letting the Ghost Doctor make a fuss was fine, since Xiao Ran's ideas were too big. He would only be able to come up with a convincing reason if he could.

However, Xiao Ran only stared coldly at the Ghost Doctor from beginning to end, watching his gesticulating manner as if he were watching a clown.

After the Ghost Doctor finished laughing wildly, Xiao Ran sat up straight, crossed her hands and rested her chin on them, and asked, "You think I can't do anything to you because of the rules?"

"if not?"

The Ghost Doctor looked up, but as he spoke, he noticed the mocking look in Xiao Ran's eyes, and a bad feeling immediately arose in his heart.

"Ugh!!"

Xiao Ran sighed and looked up at Pumpkin: "Aren't you really going to do anything about your old dog?"

Pumpkin frowned, about to say something, when Ghost Doctor shouted, "You little bastard, you..."

Before the Ghost Doctor could finish speaking, a black shadow flew out from Xiao Ran's waist, followed by a slash that struck the Ghost Doctor in the chest.

"puff!"

This sudden, unexpected stab caused the Ghost Doctor's pupils to constrict sharply, and a tearing pain shot through his chest, causing him to let out a agonizing scream.

At that moment, the Ghost Doctor's pupils reflected a six-armed figure, and six gleaming blades instantly transformed into lightning and surrounded him.

In an instant, blood spurted out from below. Every cut precisely avoided vital points, but every wound was so deep that bone was visible.

In the blink of an eye, thirty-six slashes had turned the Ghost Doctor into a blood-soaked figure.

"Pfft..."

The Ghost Doctor crashed heavily to the ground, his tendons in his hands and feet severed, and he was convulsing in pain.

This scene took everyone by surprise.

Those beginners looked at Sanli, who stood silently behind Xiao Ran, with expressions of fear on their faces. After all, Sanli's appearance with six arms was quite intimidating.

"Have you all forgotten that I am the Corpse Weaver? The rules only restrict me personally, not the corpse slaves under my command!"

When Xiao Ran said this, Pumpkin and the others finally remembered this. It wasn't that they were forgetful, but Xiao Ran had never summoned the corpses to fight. Most of the time, he relied on his own strength, which made people easily overlook Xiao Ran's profession.

Xiao Ran didn't kill the Ghost Doctor, but he still managed to slash him thirty-six times, which allowed everyone to vent their anger.

"Now, do you understand why I'm not making a move?" Xiao Ran looked at the pumpkin, her meaning clearly directed at it.

Pumpkin frowned, her gaze falling on Sanli beside Xiao Ran. As a spirit master, Pumpkin was confident she could control Sanli in an instant, but she dared not make a move.

After all, she didn't know how many cards Xiao Ran still had up his sleeve. Once the two sides completely turned against each other, neither of them would be able to leave alive.

Pumpkin's fears are precisely what Xiao Ran fears.

This is why he didn't kill the Ghost Doctor directly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Seeing this, Pumpkin stopped hesitating and decisively chose to cooperate with Xiao Ran. He turned around and instructed Di Jun and the others behind him: "Do as he says."

Although Di Jun and the others were unwilling, seeing that Pumpkin had already spoken, not to mention the six-armed corpse slave behind Xiao Ran watching them menacingly, they finally gritted their teeth and began to serve the dishes.

"Go! Get those people out of here!"

Xiao Ran then pointed to the so-called distinguished guests at the other tables, signaling Sanli to make a move.

Sanli didn't care who these people were. He walked over, swung the blade, and slapped them all onto the ground. Anyone sitting on the table was slapped to the ground.

Seeing Xiao Ran's increasingly outburst, Pumpkin's face was filled with worry and incomprehension.

She looked at Sanli and then said to Xiao Ran, "Your corpse slave is not bad. It has already developed its own spirit. If you raise it for another year or two, there is a chance that it will become a corpse demon. It's a pity that it is just a corpse in your hands. If I were to take care of it, it would not be long before I could turn it into a powerful spirit."

Xiao Ran knew that she was reminding her of this, so she glanced at Pumpkin and said, "You're right. In fact, although corpse sculptors and spirit masters are mutually restraining, these two professions can also achieve twice the result with half the effort if they cooperate."

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"do what!"

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and looked at the delicious food on the table: "Someone is throwing a big banquet and inviting guests to dinner, but they are very stingy. They want me to pay for the meal. Since I am paying for it, it is my decision who to invite to this meal."

Pumpkin seemed to understand a little now, but still couldn't figure out Xiao Ran's methods.

But then Xiao Ran stood up with a smile and said to the newcomers at the table, "Later, no matter what you hear or see, don't speak or ask questions. Just sit still."

The crowd was puzzled, but seeing that the big shot was about to make a move, they had no reason to object and even began to look forward to it.

Seeing that every table was full of food, Pumpkin helplessly took out a whole bill and handed it to Xiao Ran: "Although I don't know what you're planning to do, we're probably going to be bombarded with negative stars this time."

"Not necessarily."

Xiao Ran took the bill, slammed it on the table, and then waved her hand, scattering handfuls of Yin banknotes everywhere like snowflakes.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran used her left hand (yin) to pinch the Yama King Knocking on the Door, and her right hand (yang) to pinch four sticks of incense.

Amidst the strange looks from the crowd, he knocked forward, and a muffled knocking sound echoed in the void.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking on the door felt like a blow to everyone's heart, making their hearts race.

At the same time, in a ward on the sixth floor of the hospital, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, a look of confusion in their eyes, clearly indicating that they had also heard the knocking.

"Hmph, even if you summon a god today, it won't help!"

Zhang Qi, or rather Zhang Jingmin, had a shadow fall over her eyes. She turned around and looked at the shrine of the evil god Xingxie behind her, and suddenly felt more confident.

He then looked at the girl's body on the hospital bed next to him, a sinister smile on his face: "Good girl, don't worry, once Mom prepares a new body for you, you'll be free."

As she spoke, she interlaced her fingers and placed them flat on her chest, trying to calm herself down and maintain her dream.

But just as he calmed down, his eyelids twitched and a loud booming sound came from beside him.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling wind inexplicably swept through the hospital corridor.

A cold wind was blowing, as if it were heading this way.

At the same time, Xiao Ran raised her head and looked towards the direction of the gate, a bright smile appearing on her face: "You're here!"

Confused, everyone looked towards the gate.

But there was nothing outside the gate.

"Nobody's here?" One of the beginners couldn't contain his curiosity and stood up from his chair, tilting his head back to see what was going on, but there was nothing outside the door.

"Boss, who's here? I didn't see them." He said, trying to sit back down, but as soon as his bottom touched the seat, he felt a chill on it, like sitting on an ice block. He stiffened, and then heard an annoyed voice beside him: "Young man, you're sitting on my lap..."
