Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 566 Followed closely
“Amitabha! Your concern for us is not merely because we entered the Ghost Realm as human cultivators; there must be other reasons. Madam Huo, please speak plainly.”

Yun Chen said calmly.

He could tell that this Lady Huo possessed the aura of a pure ghost cultivator, though her cultivation level was somewhat low. However, she was very polite to them, suggesting that she had something to ask of them, which was why he made that remark.

Madam Huo dropped her serious expression, pursed her lips, and said:

"You are human cultivators, and you can even enter the Ghost Realm as human cultivators, so you must have extraordinary abilities, otherwise the Black and White Impermanence would not have been so polite to you."

I do indeed have a request. I have a daughter who will soon be reincarnated. Unfortunately, in this life I have chosen the path of ghost cultivation and cannot be by her side anymore. Therefore, I hope she can be reborn into a good family and live a peaceful life.

Yunxi didn't understand and asked in confusion:

"As far as I know, this matter is under the jurisdiction of the Reincarnation Department. You can only ask Meng Po and the Judge for help, but you won't be able to get help from us. You also said that we are human cultivators and have no right to interfere in the operation of the Underworld."

Huo Wan immediately explained:
“I know, I only ask for one grain of merit, just one grain. If my daughter has merit to rely on, she will definitely live a good life in this world.”

Knowing that the four people in front of her were not easily fooled, Madam Huo stated her purpose directly.

Han Lian shook her head and said:
"Tsk tsk, you really dare to ask for that much. Merit is hard to earn. What are you going to exchange it for?"
"Don't even mention using yourself. We don't need ghost servants, and we won't be staying here for long."

Huo Wan knew that without sufficient leverage, she would definitely not achieve her goal. She gritted her teeth and said:
"This shop is all I own. I will personally prepare the most suitable robes for the four of you and offer you 30,000 high-grade soul stones, enough for you to travel in the Ghost Realm."

Xun Kun asked in a cold voice:

“Is this a deal?”

"Yes, if you are not satisfied, you may make your demands."

Huo Wan was going all out. Her time was limited, and the chance to see the four of them was also limited. If she missed this opportunity, there probably wouldn't be another one.

Yunxi was unsure whether the female ghost cultivator genuinely wanted to make a deal with them or was just testing them.

Just then, Xun Kun spoke:

"Tomorrow, I will send the appropriate robes and soul stones to Wanyuanzhai. However, I need 100,000 high-grade soul stones. If you do not agree, you don't need to come tomorrow. Let's just drop this matter."

Huo Wan's eyes lit up with surprise upon hearing the first sentence, but when she heard that it required 100,000 high-grade soul stones, she hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded and said:

"I'll try my best to make it happen."

Although Yunxi and the other two found it strange, they did not stop them. It was an unspoken agreement among them not to undermine each other. If there were any questions, they could ask each other behind closed doors when they got back.

Huo Wan curtsied and went downstairs to fetch her robe. This time, she only took an ordinary robe, purely to conceal her identity.

However, when Huo Wan carried the tray upstairs again, the patrol captain, Li Ze, was already waiting on the first floor. She went into the VIP room first, presented the robe, and then told him that the patrol captain wanted to see the four of them.

"I guess they came after we vandalized Rongle's shop earlier."

Hanlian looked at the shimmering white robe on the tray and said to Yunxi beside her.

"Okay, let's meet him and see which way his butt is crooked."

Yunxi acted as if she was just waiting for him to come to her.

Seeing that the four of them seemed completely unconcerned, Huo Wan then spoke:
"Then please change into your robes first. I'd like Captain Li Ze to come up here."

After saying that, he left the room.

The four were currently in a divine soul state, and they put on their robes very quickly. They only needed to imprint a trace of their divine soul into the robes, and the robes would automatically be put on them.

Yunxi was still wearing her bright red robe, but this one was radiating a soft glow that was slowly nourishing her soul. She also had a matching hairband tied around her hair. She was quite satisfied with this temporary robe.

Xun Kun was still wearing a black robe, but the magical patterns on it were more intricate, nourishing his soul as well. Yun Chen wore a golden monk's robe, seemingly tailor-made for him, which he was quite pleased with.

Hanlian liked white, and she immediately fell in love with that shimmering white robe. After putting it on, she was admiring herself in the mirror with great satisfaction.

After the four of them changed into their robes, Huo Wan led Captain Li Ze to the VIP room on the third floor. After inviting him in, she tactfully withdrew.

"My name is Li Ze, and I am the captain of the city patrol. Today, you four smashed up the 'Qianbaoge' shop. What is the reason for this?"

Li Ze cupped his hands in greeting to the four people, introduced himself, and then asked why he had come here.

Without further ado, Yunxi tossed a memory jade to Lizhe.

"See for yourself!"

Li Ze separated a wisp of his soul and probed into the image-recording jade. After examining it, his eyes darkened, and he looked up and said:
"Are you all certain that you have been trapped in this formation for even a moment?"

Xun Kun nodded and said:
"determine."

Li Ze glanced at the four of them again, expressionless, and then said:

“The four of you, if there is nothing else, please return to Wanyuanzhai first. This formation is related to a recent tragedy in the Ghost Realm. The matter is quite complicated. I am afraid that they have their eyes on you. For your safety, please do not go out for the time being.”

This statement contained a lot of information, so Buddha Yunchen asked:

"Amitabha! Is this matter related to evil spirits?"

Han Lian then asked:

"Is the person behind this using a similar or identical formation to plunder the soul power of ordinary ghost cultivators?"

Xun Kun said coldly:
“Since it’s a tragedy, it means that a large number of registered ghosts have gone missing. You discovered the clues and that’s why you started investigating. This array that forcibly absorbs soul power is your only clue.”

Yunxi smoothed her new robes and concluded:
"Captain Lizhe, how many ghosts have gone missing? Even you are frowning. Is it a street? A town? Or a city?"

As each of the four people delivered a sentence, Li Ze finally couldn't control himself, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Yunxi caught it and immediately said:

"Judging from your expression, it must be the ghosts of an entire city. Tsk tsk! That's quite a feat. Which city is it? Even you know. It should be not far from the Judge's Office, in the vicinity."

Yunxi said with certainty, then turned to Hanlian and said:

"We made a mistake; we should have bought a map of the Ghost Realm first."

"Go check the general store next door later, they should have some. Do you have enough soul stones?"

"Don't worry, we have enough Soul Stones to buy the map."

In front of Li Ze, the two of them had already decided what to do next.

Li Ze coughed lightly to interrupt:

"Gentlemen, it's best if you don't get involved in this matter."

Xun Kun said in a deep voice:
“We didn’t want to either, but the mastermind behind it has already reached out, so naturally we have to chop it off.”

Yunxi also said with a smile:

"It's not that we're afraid of thieves stealing from us, it's that we're afraid of thieves eyeing us. In your eyes, the four of us are very desirable!"
