In the dynasty where Li Shang used to live, he had never seen hard labor at work, at most just the house servants doing their daily tasks. So he didn’t quite understand what state these workers should be in.
He just assud that since they took the job, they must be confident. Surely, it wouldn’t be a situation where after carrying the rebar twice, they half-squat on the ground, panting heavily.
Although he wasn’t taking advantage of the situation, Li Shang himself was very much looking forward to this haunted house, so he wanted them to finish the work quickly.
Today, he talked to Mu Yunchu, hoping she might have so good ideas, or if worse cos to worst, to replace the batch of workers.
Mu Yunchu thought he was being a bit too hasty.
"The foundation must be solid for the building above to be sturdy."
For so reason, Li Shang felt there was another aning in her words. He was stunned for a few seconds, pondering how to respond.
Then she added, "If it really doesn’t work, just take those ghosts from before."
"Hmm???"
Li Shang blinked.
Realizing she was talking about those on the bus.
Although Mu Yunchu had already explained that after the haunted house is built, she would invite them to act as NPCs, Li Shang’s strong aura had frightened them so much they dared not approach.
So basically, whenever Li Shang was around, they would scurry off to other places.
Avoiding to stay in the sa space with him as much as possible.
But now that Mu Yunchu had brought it up, Li Shang felt there must be a very significant reason behind it.
"Alright, I’ll go catch them one by one today."
With that, her speed of eating sped up significantly.
And once she finished, she rushed out imdiately.
...
Exciting news reached Matsuboto this morning.
The array they had set up had not only officially started operating but had also begun to show so effects.
Although the effects weren’t as apparent as initially imagined, he knew these things couldn’t be rushed.
Since the preparations had taken so long, a bit longer wouldn’t hurt. After all, he had plenty of ti.
Seeing a rare smile break through his usually solemn face, the woman beside him unconsciously curved her lips too.
"I noticed the workers had already entered the site."
"Judging by the materials delivered, the building is presumably quite large."
This indicates that more people will eventually co to this building. Consequently, the array can absorb more spiritual energy.
After saying all this, Matsuboto rely deepened his smile without much reaction. She understood that everything was already within his expectations.
With her eyes full of admiration, she leaned in more closely.
"So, you’ve had this all planned out."
Matsuboto said, "Of course."
Ever since Luan Huacheng continually blocked others from claiming that piece of land, he had been seeking alternative ways.
Since he couldn’t harness the Spirit Vein for his own use, destroying it was an easier option.
He even consulted Master Li, coming up with this plan.
A nation has its fortune, as do individuals.
Anyone appearing there would gradually have their fortune absorbed by the array and transferred to their country.
Over ti, this city would undoubtedly worsen, while their nation would thrive from this immutable balance of gain and loss.
It may seem like he just altered that area slightly, and the results might not be astonishing.
But what if every city had one?
No one dislikes outstanding individuals.
Especially when this individual significantly aids their aligned nation.
When she herself is a voluptuous beauty, many things naturally co to fruition.
...
Mu Yunchu unexpectedly ran into Wen Xu while heading out today.
Even though they lived in the sa city, it seed they had never coincidentally crossed paths near her shop.
Upon seeing his face, Mu Yunchu felt as though he might recently have encountered so trouble.
"Want to co in for a cup of tea?"
She specifically had Li Shang teach Ye Zhixia so tea-brewing skills before heading out each day.
Although the ti was short, and couldn’t compare with his, it was still better than Mu Yunchu’s own brewing.
Even Wen Xu, who normally didn’t pay much heed to tea, nodded unconsciously after taking a sip.
But now, he wasn’t particularly in the mood to dwell on these things.
"Forensic expert Wen seems to be having a rough ti recently."
When Mu Yunchu noticed his empty cup, she poured in so more tea.
Smiling lightly, she said, "I see you’re entangled with romance and face peril."
Wen Xu: "..."
Noticeably, he beca more reticent than before.
Knowing Mu Yunchu could see right through him, and aware that everything she ntioned was true, he hesitated to bring up the so-called ’peril’ imdiately.
He appeared unaffected by this matter.
Yet seed to ponder on how to begin.
But just as he intended to speak, the wind chis at the shop entrance jingled.
This signaled the arrival of a custor.
Ye Zhixia, sprinting in, interrupted their continuation of the conversation.
"Boss, soone wants a fortune-telling."
After Mu Yunchu granted her approval, he brought in a woman in her twenties.
She glanced at Wen Xu, who showed no intent of leaving.
Mu Yunchu then invited the woman to explain her troubles.
The woman seed aware of Mu Yunchu’s reputation, and although she was currently baffled by so confounding issues and montarily surprised at the sight of Wen Xu, she quickly got over it.
Ever since her live streams began, Li Shang had been with Mu Yunchu. Even after starting several live sessions, he could still be seen. Those who watched her streams were familiar with them.
And as for Ye Zhixia, that’s a given.
When he ca to the shop, it was under the scrutiny of tens of thousands of viewers.
Furthermore, later purchases made it clear that the custor service behind them was him.
Hence, the online audience was well acquainted with these two individuals.
However...
Wen Xu wasn’t part of their perceived list.
Could this an he’s just another guest seeking fortune-telling like herself?
These thoughts surfaced at once but soon vanished from her mind.
After all, now wasn’t the ti for distractions.
Most likely another custor.
Li Moli thought so, and then promptly sat opposite him at Mu Yunchu’s invitation.
"Master..."
With just a single glance, Mu Yunchu noticed the deep, persistent dark aura around her glabella.
Even more intense than Wen Xu’s.
What was going on today?
Why were both people she t this morning surrounded by ons of death?
Despite these thoughts, her expression remained calm as she inquired about the person’s situation.
Li Moli said, "I had a really strange dream."
"In the dream, I saw my deceased family mbers."
"At first, I couldn’t hear them clearly, but as ti passed, now I can distinctly tell they are scolding ."
