Chapter's Function
"Liu Boss, gather all those suffering Ghost Slaves for my brother!" Lin Nan said with irritation.
It was known that Sword Mountain was at least a B-Class Ghost Slave, incredibly strong and somewhat useful. However, Chen Er Gou was a Monster, not an Armed Ghost Hunter. Even an ordinary martial artist with a strong presence could easily drive away Chen Er Gou.
Lin Nan truly did not understand why Lian Yun wanted Chen Er Gou.
Meanwhile, Liu Haitao felt powerless and blurted out, "Lower Demons aren't suffering? However, what Nanzi said does make sense. I indeed cannot let Young Master Yun see any other Spirits."
The Spirits below were formed from the desires, grievances, and obsessions that lingered in their hearts before death.
In modern scientific terms, Spirits are the result of human beings having obsessions before death, causing distortions in the memories within the brain, which then form a special Magnetorheological Fluid.
Thus, the statement about Lower Demons not suffering is not entirely accurate, but Lian Yun and the others did not ponder deeply on it.
Before long, with the help of two beautifully haunting female ghosts reminiscent of A Chinese Ghost Story, Chen Er Gou left his cage.
One ghost said, "Chen Ge'er, today you have finally seen the light after enduring the clouds. Congratulations!"
"Though we are Spirits, we must remember to never forget our original intentions!"
"Thank you, sisters," Ergou replied. "I understand that no matter how Lord treats me in the future, I will never harbor any ill will."
"Enough. I will send someone to bring your mother and sister to the capital! Any Ghost Slave that Young Master Yun takes a liking to will be sent along without any charge; even if it seems opportunistic, it won't be allowed!" Liu Haitao's expression was resolute.
The so-called opportunism referred to Lin Feiyu's intention to purchase.
However, Lin Feiyu shook his head and stepped forward. "Chen Er Gou, do you want your mother and sister to live in a safe city or in a safe environment?"
"Is there any difference, sir?"
"Of course there is. You've been at the Ghost Market for a while now, haven't you? Do you really think you're completely safe here in the capital?"
Chen Er Gou immediately shook his head, understanding Lin Feiyu's words!
Lin Feiyu smiled slightly and said, "In that case, may I make a suggestion?"
Chen Er Gou looked at Lian Yun, and upon seeing Lian Yun nod, he turned to Lin Feiyu and said, "Please enlighten me, sir!"
"Well! I am Lin Feiyu, the Eldest Grandson of the Lin Family. My brother Lian Yun—have you heard of him?"
"Lian Yun? The Cloud Emperor that Boss Liu often talks about?" Chen Er Gou first expressed confusion and then shock.
However, Lin Feiyu and the others did not look at him but turned to Liu Haitao instead, causing Liu Haitao's chubby face to flush slightly, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
Lin Feiyu nodded and said, "My brother has moved into the Lin Family. For now, he doesn't have any designated servants. My suggestion is to have my people bring your mother and sister to the Lin Family to serve my brother. What do you think?"
"Of course, I have conditions as well. I will send someone to investigate your mother and sister's character first. If they are suitable, then they will be brought into the Lin Family; if not, they will receive one hundred thousand gold as compensation to arrange for themselves."
The Lin Family is not just any wealthy household that anyone can enter at will, especially not for commoners.
Chen Er Gou was overjoyed at once; however, after the excitement faded, he fell silent for a moment before asking, "Regardless of how Young Master Lin investigates them, can I first ask my mother and sister for their opinions?"
For a family like Chen Er Gou's, being able to enter the Lin Family would be akin to a stroke of incredible fortune from a past life. Yet it seemed that Chen Er Gou still hoped his mother and sister could decide for themselves.
"You truly are a filial son, my friend!" Lian Yun said softly.
Lin Feiyu and the others were somewhat puzzled, but after a moment of thought, they understood. Looking at Lian Yun's eyes, there was a hint of reassurance.
If one blindly believed they were acting for the good of their family while forcing them to do this or that, even reducing them to a Servant without regard for their wishes, it could only be considered foolish filial piety, or more seriously, self-righteousness.
For instance, if the Lian Family intended to demote Lian Yun to the status of a subordinate in the Alliance Tournament, it would have been different had they consulted Lian Yun beforehand. Perhaps Lian Yun's reaction would not have been so strong. However, they did not ask; they simply decided to reduce Lian Yun to a slave.
Thus, Chen Er Gou's request carried the flavor of genuinely considering his family's well-being.
Lian Yun's sudden comment made Lin Feiyu realize that Lian Yun was not inclined to take Chen Er Gou as a servant merely because he heard about his deeds. Instead, after some confirmation, he had developed a true desire to accept a servant now.
With this understanding, Lin Feiyu no longer worried about Lian Yun being overly compassionate and indiscriminately accepting Ghost Slaves.
At this point, Lin Feiyu said no more. He took out a small bottle from his pocket and tossed it to Chen Er Gou.
The bottle was transparent and contained a flawless emerald-green liquid—spiritual essence.
The general purpose of an Armed Ghost Hunter was to kill Spirits, extract Spiritual Energy from them, compress that energy using their own spiritual power, and then transform it into spiritual essence for personal use or as currency. However, this currency was incredibly valuable; just one bottle of spiritual essence from Lin Feiyu was worth tens of thousands of gold coins.
In the early twenty-first century, its value would be equivalent to tens of millions.
Chen Er Gou held the bottle as if cradling a holy grail, his expression reverent and fearful as if it were an unparalleled treasure that could be damaged at any moment. Yet he still looked at Lian Yun.
Upon seeing Lian Yun nod, he swallowed the entire bottle in one gulp as if he were a starving ghost reborn.
Of course, the bottle went straight down his throat and fell to the ground. However, the spiritual essence rapidly spread throughout his Ghost Body.
Once fully dispersed, the essence lost its color, but Chen Er Gou's Ghost Body swelled violently as if bubbles were continuously forming within him, threatening to burst at any moment. Yet his expression was one of rapture, filled with an overwhelming sensation.
After a while, Chen Er Gou's Ghost Body finally stabilized, reaching the second level of the realm!
Once he regained his senses, Chen Er Gou knelt down and bowed to Lin Feiyu, expressing his gratitude with three silent bows. He said, "Great Lord, your immense kindness is beyond my ability to repay. If there is a next life, I am willing to be your servant!"
Then, Chen Er Gou bowed to Liu Haitao as well. "Thank you, Boss Liu, for your great kindness~~ If~~"
"If there is a next life, aren't you supposed to serve Young Master Lin?" Liu Haitao teased, then laughed and added, "All you need to do is serve Young Master Yun well; that would be the best repayment for me!"
Chen Er Gou nodded firmly at Liu Haitao, then walked in front of Lian Yun. He knelt on one knee, his body straight like a subordinate presenting himself before a Lord! A mysterious cloud floated from his forehead. He solemnly said, "I humbly request the Lord's mercy!"
This kind of loyalty held extraordinary significance, akin to that of a death warrior. Just as Chen Er Gou had previously stated, no matter how Lian Yun treated him in the future, he would have no complaints and would never betray him!
Once Lian Yun swallowed the cloud and signed the contract, Big Head Ghost floated out from Lian Yun's chest and joyfully exclaimed, "Good good good! I have another brother now! Come on, Ergou, follow me!"
Thus, Ergou met his big brother and was then taken into the Ring Ghost Group within Lian Yun's chest by Big Head.
However, upon witnessing this scene, Liu Haitao and Sun Chendong displayed expressions of regret and sadness.
