Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Crack Shot Clairvoyant: “Holy f*ck! Cultivating from zero cultivation base to Ninth Stage Dao Body? Are we really playing the sa cultivation ga here!?”
Atomic Bomb Fairy: “My outlook on cultivation and life has received heavy blows, and I am feeling extrely upset. @Calm Celestial Maiden, please save , I need your therapy!”
Peaceful Celestial Maiden: “Sister Atomic Bomb, Calm Celestial Maiden has already fainted from vomiting blood after seeing the previous ssages.”
Atomic Bomb Fairy: “…”
Daoist Wooden Ox: “…”
Enlightened Lazurite: “I feel like my life has been an online ga, during which I suffered infinite hardships before finally reaching level eighty, only to find Mr. An laughing at whilst holding a level ninety-nine dragon-slaying blade…”
Dreamy Voice Fairy: “Hehe, luckily for , I have lightning-fast reactions, and I’ve already just taken ninety-nine heart-soothing tablets. I’m feeling much better now…”
Daoist Red Wyrm: “I feel like a salted fish bludger right now.”
…
Several tens of cultivators all logged onto the chat at once, unanimously expressing their sha, causing An Lin’s face to convulse slightly.
Upon seeing the ssages popping up in the group chat, Tian Lingling felt a lot better.
As expected, burdens are always lighter when shared!
Aside from a few cultivators having their Dao hearts severely shaken, the incident passed by quickly.
…
En route to the ball, An Lin had caught sight of Lin Wuhua and Gao Peng.
But everything was all in the past now, and he did not feel the need to acknowledge them now.
The ball concluded soon after and An Lin and his friends arrived back at the Crown Holiday Hotel to rest.
Tian Lingling also followed along this ti, as she was staying in the room neighboring An Lin.
She was the representative of the cultivators of the mortal world, hence it was her duty to accompany and assist An Lin’s trio in completing their mission.
If they wanted to summon the help of other cultivators from the mortal world, she could comply and assist them in garnering their assistance.
But of course, if they wanted to recruit the help of so veteran cultivators with unfathomable cultivation bases, a little remuneration was bound to be required.
They acted as individuals and did not have any relations with the Heavenly Court, none of them would be dumb enough to provide free labor.
However, there were so cultivators in the chat that had a heart for public welfare and often slew monsters and demons for the benefit of society. They would be happy to provide their services free of charge.
The only problems were, firstly, the levels of their cultivation bases were all inconsistent, and they were motivated purely through their sense of justice, so there was no guarantee in the numbers that could be called upon.
An Lin considered his options montarily before deciding to leave this group of potential allies alone for now.
Judging from the difficulty of the mission, the small group he led should have no problems at all.
In his hotel room, he’d already downloaded a thousand different romantic action films.
After assessing all of them, he laid down on his bed, exhausted.
“Sigh… there really was a demand for everything, there were even people asking him to purchase romantic action films in their stead…”
An Lin looked at the shopping list in his hand with an expression of resignation, suddenly realizing that earning money was not easy after all.
So people would probably be inclined to ask, why didn’t he just purchase everything online?
This was actually as when it ca to things like clothing, An Lin’s upperclassn were all very distrustful of online sellers.
Hence, they’ve explicitly requested for An Lin to personally purchase them from physical stores, whilst also making very strict demands for the color and material of the clothing they require.
As for things like technological products and jewelry, An Lin can purchase hundreds and thousands of them with no effort.
If An Lin chose to purchase those items online, once the items started arriving, he’d probably end up with broken legs from running back and forth to receive them from the post office.
As such, it was better to just sweep through physical stores and take care of everything in one day.
Ding Dong!
A notification for a new text ssage suddenly appeared on his phone.
An Lin unlocked his phone to find that Tian Lingling had sent him a new ssage in WeChat.
Tian Lingling: “Yo, Fake Daoist Priest, do you have so spare ti tomorrow? Co and catch so ghosts with !”
An Lin: “…”
What the hell was catching ghosts supposed to be!?
He considered the day of shopping ahead of him tomorrow and imdiately gave a reply. “I don’t have ti, I have to go buy so clothes tomorrow.”
Tian Lingling: “How long could clothes-shopping take? I’ll go with you, then we can go catch so ghosts afterward.”
An Lin chuckled slightly. “Are you sure?”
Tian Lingling: “Sure as sure can be!”
An Lin did not reply, instead sending a picture of his clothes-shopping list to Tian Lingling.
Tian Lingling stared at the long winding list, falling into silence caused by shock.
…
Tian Lingling: “How about this… leave the clothes-shopping to . You’ve heard of Tianyu Organization, right? My dad is the chairman, I’ll get him to call on so helper, and I guarantee you that they’ll have it all taken care of in two days. You can catch ghosts with in the anti!”
Tianyu Organization!?
That’s one of the top five-hundred corporations in the world!?An Lin thought to himself in surprise.
The organization dabbled in a myriad of different industries, including cinematography, music, fashion magazines, and clothing. It would not be far-fetched to call them one of the top corporations in the entertainnt industry.
With a background as stellar as this, it really wouldn’t be a problem to delegate the duty of clothes-shopping to her.
Just as he was about to agree to Tian Lingling’s offer, he suddenly thought of sothing. He picked up his phone, taking photos of all the items on his shopping lists.
M-hm, the snacks for Yue Tu and the other peers, a few figurines, and so craft items…
After taking photos of all the shopping lists, An Lin sent them to Tian Lingling all at once.
Fake Daoist Priest Little An: “Ok, I’ll co and catch ghosts with you if you take care of all these as well!”
As each photo loaded on her phone, a steady stream of shopping lists began to appear in front of Tian Lingling’s eyes.
List upon list of all types of items with all types of outlandish requirents seed to taunt Tian Lingling from the confines of her phone.
Tian Lingling gripped her phone tightly, her eyes gaping wide.
A long while later, she took a deep breath before typing out a few words with great difficulty.
Tian Lingling: “Alright! Leave it all to !”
An Lin looked at Tian Lingling’s reply, before blissfully sending a ssage of ‘good night’, then setting his phone to the side.
“Ha, I’m truly far too clever! Now all my problems have been unburdened, what a fantastic feeling!”
An Lin closed his eyes blissfully, all the while triumphantly praising himself.
He had a feeling that he would sleep very well tonight!
…
In the neighboring room, Tian Lingling sat on her bed with her legs folded.
Her lips convulsed in rage as she looked at all the shopping lists on her phone, but in the end, could only mutter to herself angrily. “How dare he use to do his bidding, I’ll get back at him for this!”
If it wasn’t for the fact that Uncle Lin was caught up with sothing and couldn’t find the ti, who would want to partner up with soone as despicable as An Lin!
Tian Lingling’s petite face was filled with aggravation. She flopped down onto her bed in exhaustion like a salted fish bludger.
She had a feeling that she would sleep very badly tonight.
…
Soon, the sun replaced the moon in the sky, signaling the arrival of a new morning.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Tian Lingling was knocking on the door.
An Lin opened the door to find Tian Lingling in a pink tracksuit, her cute petite figure glowing with vitality.
“Good morning, Fake Daoist Priest!” Tian Lingling greeted him imdiately after walking into his room
“Good morning, little loli!” An Lin imdiately responded to her.
Upon hearing this, Tian Lingling almost flew into another fit of rage. She felt like An Lin was constantly a step ahead of her!
She held out a folder toward An Lin, within it were so docunts containing information on catching ghosts.
An Lin flipped open the folder, reading the docunts to get a basic understanding of the case.
In the Huang Xi Village of Rong City, there had recently been a few bizarre homicide cases.
In all of the cases, the victims had colorless skin with their eyes gouged out, leaving only blood-filled holes in their wake. The expressions on all their faces were of extre terror, clearly the result of receiving a sudden fright from sothing.
The casualty count had reached eleven people by now, with Zhou Zheng, the director of the provincial departnt of public security personally investigating the case. However, no progress had been made but there was instead so very unreasonable discoveries made.
This included things such as strange sounds in the village at night, and the unexplainable presence of a black haze constantly hanging around in the air. These strange events struck constant fear into the village’s inhabitants.
Zhou Zheng had investigated cases akin to this one in the past. He knew that this was most likely out of his range, hence he requested assistance from the central governnt. However, the National Special Operations Departnt was unable to spare any people so he instead turned to the cultivators from the Hua Nation cultivators society.
Daoist Lin Yi from Mount Longhu and Tian Lingling answered his request for assistance.
However, an unforeseen event in Tibet ant Daoist Lin Yi was no longer able to offer his services, but this could not be delayed.
Hence, after going around in circles like this for a while, Tian Lingling and An Lin finally ford a group to investigate the case.
After reading through the report, An Lin’s initial impression was that this was the work of a soldier-level or general-level ghost.
This ant that the enemy was likely to be Fifth to Tenth Stage Dao Body.
To An Lin, this was still within his realm of capability. Hence, he packed up the docunts before smiling to Tian Lingling.
“Let’s go, Huang Xi Village it is!”
