This made the few workers who had just finished work nearby feel emotionally affected.
They instinctively straightened their backs, raised their heads, and threw their luggage forcefully onto the scanning equipnt, almost shouting: "Hurry up and check it!"
"Are you guys crazy? Queue up properly!" The security staff was startled, and the security checkpoint suddenly beca lively and bustling.
After passing through the underground security check, Xu Shu followed the familiar route back to his ho at 178 Building 88A in Lanling King’s Departnt No.2 Lower City.
Coming out of the elevator, Xu Shu saw the entrance of the opposite door at 88B decorated with festive lights and red couplets, along with congratulatory phrases like "Welco Ho." It was obvious that new residents had moved in here.
"Tsk, they’ve managed to shake off the pressure of the haunted house and found soone to take over so quickly? That’s pretty fast," Xu Shu smacked his lips, feeling surprised.
Not long ago, the previous occupant of this house was a Living Cultivator, brutally murdered at ho by a lunatic from the Annihilation Association.
Back then, there were concerns that this place beca a haunted house and whether it would affect the living environnt, considering whether to move.
But now it seems the worry was unnecessary.
The city residents are simply too many, and everyone is too eager for a better living environnt.
Compared to that, the feng shui taboos of a haunted house hardly matter anymore.
"Even a haunted house can’t dampen people’s enthusiasm for buying a ho. What kind of crazy world is Penglai?"
Xu Shu shook his head, lanting the decline of societal morality.
He took out his key, just opened the door a crack, and before he could push it open, he saw a fat orange cat swiftly dart out from the corner and jump into his arms.
"Shoo shoo~ shoo shoo~"
Alice sniffed around, and after a while, with a face full of despair, she jumped down and muttered to herself, "Boohoo, Xu Shu is a liar, Xu Shu secretly found other wild cats outside~ Old Yu, open your eyes and see this person, he’s not trustworthy at all boohoo..."
While muttering, she pushed the door open and walked inside by herself.
"Uh..."
Xu Shu was suddenly dumbfounded, thinking that the Enchanting Demon was really impressive, able to sll even this?
I didn’t spend that much ti, did I?
Besides, why does a hobody cat care so much anyway?
Though saying this, thinking about Alice asking him every day if he was returning ho made Xu Shu inexplicably feel a bit guilty.
He took two steps forward, grabbed the orange cat by the scruff, and picked her up.
"What are you doing ow, are you going to resort to dostic violence ow! I’m not afraid of you!" Alice’s fur imdiately stood on end, baring her teeth.
Such drama... Xu Shu thought to himself, conjuring a blue crystal out of thin air: "Alright, alright, this is a gift for you, it’s your week’s pay for looking after the house."
"Huh?"
Alice looked closely and saw a faint "three" on the crystal.
She was satisfied, hugged the crystal with her paws, and happily licked it: "Woohoo! Xu Shu paying Alice wages, Xu Shu is great! Xu Shu is super rich!"
"Sigh."
Xu Shu put her down, looking at the orange cat’s materialistic expression, he couldn’t help but sigh towards the ceiling.
A "security guard’s" weekly salary reaching 5 million, finally his life could be considered well-off...
In the evening, Xu Shu rarely gathered with his family for a while.
Seeing his adoptive parents who had yet to reach retirent age but were already enjoying retirent life ahead of ti, after a few days of not eting, it was noticeably apparent that they had gained so weight.
Partly because of their carefree deanor, and partly because his increased appetite indirectly caused them to have a bit of overnutrition.
Abundance nourishes people indeed...
Although he felt a bit amused, he did not forget to remind them.
As middle-aged and older adults, they couldn’t indulge like him, they had to pay attention to dietary health.
That night.
Xu Shu continued cultivating late at night.
The Heavenly Dao rewards diligence, consuming two crystals every night was his self-imposed standard, which he naturally couldn’t slack off on.
Using the "sit-up" recovery ability, he continued shedding blood in the washroom and truly felt the further deepening of internal erosion.
This ti, Alice also crawled in through the window, found a comfortable position on Xu Shu’s belly, and stretched out a phantom bat tail, adding so buffs to reduce his blood loss.
Ti flew during cultivation, and before he knew it, a night passed.
Xu Shu slept all night hugging the cat, and through his efforts during this ti, his "Dragon Elephant" Curse Seal finally advanced, reaching level 7.
If he focused and observed himself, he could see mysterious blood-red symbols, within the "▲" structured seal, fluctuating on the seal’s surface, infecting every cell in his body and deepening their influence.
With the level rising, Xu Shu could increasingly feel the potency of curse force becoming richer and, at the sa ti, harder and more dangerous to contain.
"No wonder they say, the path of cultivation is like rowing upstream, you can’t stop."
"The threat of a sword hanging above you cos not only from outside but also from within."
"A mont of carelessness leads to curse force going out of control, imdiate death or transforming into a monster."
"This is the Cursing Seal Cultivation thod, where mystery and wonder coexist, along with frenzy and strangeness, many things bundled together..."
