This object is very precious, worth one hundred Pretentiousness Points. It’s difficult to reunite after reincarnation, but the Yin-Yang Parent-child Rope can do just that; it’s incredibly heaven-defying.
Chu Hao helped Wenmi up and took out two ropes, saying, "Sister Mi, you wear this parent-child rope, and have the child wear it too. When the child goes to the Yin Realm for reincarnation, if you become pregnant, the child will find you for reincarnation."
Full of excitement, Wenmi said, "Thank you."
After giving the child the mother section of the rope, Chu Hao said with a smile, "Little guy, take good care of it. This will let you reunite with your mom."
"Thank you, big brother," Xiao Gui said.
In the end, Chu Hao opened the Underworld Merit Gate and let Xiao Gui reincarnate.
"Ding... Helping Xiao Gui to reincarnate, Xiao Gui’s wish has been fulfilled, blessing the Host with longevity, Host gains one hundred thousand Experience Points."
"Ding... Host obtains a Bronze Treasure Chest."
Xiao Gui, aren’t you impressive?
"Ding... Host obtains the Yang Gong Ancestor Talisman."
Yang Gong Ancestor Talisman: Summons Master Yang Gong Ancestor to exorcise demons, ghosts, and evil spirits, and to protect the residence.
With a stern face, Wenmi ordered Jiang Zhewen to roll out. This fellow probably now felt utterly devastated, his expression full of venomous resentment as he watched Chu Hao and the others.
Ankang Mo, being an honest man, voiced his concern, "Ah-Hao, will he seek revenge on us?"
Wang Meng scoffed coldly, "Are we afraid of him? If he dares show up, we’ll beat the crap out of him."
Wenmi was very considerate; she asked Aunt Wu to stay, assuring her that she would provide for her for the remainder of her life and attend to her in her final days.
"Child, I... I’m sorry. I’ll leave right now." Aunt Wu also knew that Wenmi was a victim and felt too ashamed to stay any longer.
Wenmi cried out, "Aunt Wu, please don’t go. Give me a chance to atone; otherwise, I’ll live the rest of my life in remorse."
In the end, Aunt Wu agreed to stay.
The matter wasn’t over yet. Chu Hao approached and asked, "Aunt Wu, the three moles on Sister Mi’s neck, were they your doing?"
Aunt Wu nodded. "Yes, I followed the method taught by that person, burning a stick of black incense in front of her while she was in deep sleep."
"Who was that person!"
"I don’t know who he is; even the incense was free."
Ah, mystery again, huh?
Yu Sicheng asked, "Ah-Hao, is there anything we can do?"
The System said, "The Host is so boring. You can use the Yang Gong Ancestor Talisman."
Dammit, this System is becoming more and more human-like. Is it scorning me?
After reciting the incantation, the talisman burst into flames, and a majestic and awe-inspiring apparition emerged.
Master Yang Gong Ancestor, a figure resembling an ancient Judge, with a rotund belly and an imposing presence that commanded respect without anger, exuded an aura of unwavering righteousness.
Yu Sicheng was taken aback and quickly knelt down. "Master Yang Gong Ancestor."
The apparition of Master Yang Gong Ancestor, holding the Heaven and Earth Decree, pointed at Wenmi.
From Wenmi’s neck, three vile things flew out, not quite ghosts.
Luo Yan was startled and exclaimed, "What are those?"
Chu Hao replied, "Those are evil spirits."
Evil spirits, different from ghosts, are entities born from grievous resentment.
In the mountains, people with low Yang Fire are most susceptible to being possessed by evil spirits, which can often reside in a human body for a long time, tormenting them to death.
These three evil spirits were somewhat cunning, capable of harming not just individuals but also their close friends and family. Had they not resolved the issue in time, Wenmi’s entire family might have faced total disaster.
Master Yang Gong Ancestor let out a HMPH, then swept the Heaven and Earth Decree across the three evil spirits, instantly reducing them to flying ashes.
"So cool," Luo Yan said, excited.
"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, receiving 30 Pretentiousness Points."
Thank you, Master Yang Gong Ancestor, for showing off on my behalf.
That wasn’t all. Master Yang Gong Ancestor threw his token, and the Heaven and Earth Decree disappeared into the void, a wave of energy enveloping the mansion.
"The divine card is mighty and pure, within it clearness lies, talismans banish ghosts, ensuring peace abides. One grinding stirs Heaven and Earth, two grindings open the Underworld Gate, three grant mortals longevity, four reduce ghostly fate. I am Master Yang Gong, heed this order fast, as if it were law."
This is what you call overwhelmingly cool!
Our Old Ancestor Master Yang Gong literally exploded with impressive swagger.
"Ding... Host has earned 30 Pretentiousness Points."
Tsk tsk... Showing off twice, what a thrill.
After Master Yang Gong Ancestor disappeared, only then did Yu Sicheng stand up, looking at Chu Hao in shock.
Chu Hao laughed and said, "This house probably won’t see a ghost dare to approach it in the future. With the blessing of Master Yang Gong Ancestor, you’re in for some good fortune."
Wenmi, excited, said, "Thank you, Master."
There was no doubt this was beautifully handled. They had secured the store contract. In gratitude, Wenmi gave them a ten-year lease for free.
Ankang Mo and the others were giddy with happiness as they held the contract, silly grins plastered on their faces.
That ten-year lease was worth three million!
"So unambitious," Chu Hao said disdainfully.
He had probably forgotten the time he spent crouching on the bridge, barely scraping by. It was a classic case of forgetting past hardships once things got better.
Wang Meng, his face filled with excitement, said, "Haha... handling one thing and making three million! Even if we rent it out, we can make more than two million."
Ankang Mo said, "Fatty, we can’t rent this out. It’s our future money tree."
"Heh heh... I get it, I get it," Wang Meng chuckled foolishly.
Leaving the villa, Wenmi walked them out a short distance. Before parting, she even asked Yu Sicheng for his phone number, saying that if there was trouble at home again, she could call him.
In reality, everybody had a tacit understanding, all smiling craftily at Yu Sicheng.
Yu Sicheng’s face turned red, and he glared back, saying, "What are you looking at? Let’s go home."
Luo Yan saw them off. She had initially wanted Chu Hao to stay, but he resolutely refused, insisting on going back with his three brothers.
If I went with you, it wouldn’t just be a lamb to the slaughter; it would be pure stupidity.
Luo Yan gave Chu Hao a glare. But then she thought, Their shop is just across the street; there will be other opportunities.
「Back at Ankang Mo’s Place.」
Everyone was overjoyed. They bought a few bottles of baijiu, and Old Mo’s wife fried up some dishes.
Wang Meng lifted his glass, his voice trembling with excitement. "Ah-Hao, I, your Brother Meng, sincerely admire you! Without you, that bastard Jiang Zhewen would probably have kicked us out today."
Yu Sicheng nodded. He too had been angry and unsure how to resolve the issue.
Ankang Mo laughed heartily. "Let’s drink, brothers!"
After drinking quite a bit, Wang Meng sighed. "Ah-Hao, you really are our benefactor. Meeting you was truly a blessing."
Yu Sicheng also said, "Indeed. I toast to you."
As they drank more, Wang Meng took out the store contract and, unable to help himself, started crying. "I never dreamed that we could grab three million in one day."
Yu Sicheng scolded with a laugh, "Have some dignity, man. Things are going to get even better."
Wiping away tears, Wang Meng said, "You and I have no parents; we were raised by the village folk. If not for everyone in the village, we’d have been gone long ago."
"I’ve been thinking that once we make money, I’ll build a road for the villagers, a big road leading to the city."
Yu Sicheng couldn’t help but feel a twinge in his nose, and his eyes watered a little.
