Just as Luo Yunshi thought the domineering CEO had finally returned to normal, he said the next sentence. "Why are you always flashing before my eyes? Very well, you have successfully captured my attention."
Luo Yunshi: This damn persona.
"Why are you wearing Pingru's clothes?"
What the hell? Who's here?
......
There is no night or day in the ghost realm.
As one batch of employees leaves Haoyunlai in the underworld, another batch arrives.
There isn't an empty seat in the simulation training room. Every thirty minutes, another batch of underworld employees rotates in.
All the ghosts emerging from the simulation training room are invariably excited.
......
Around eight in the morning, after Luo Yunshi connected to the interstellar network at Starry Haoyunlai, she learned that it was New Year's Day on the Cangqiong star system.
That's right, humans called the first day of their relocation to the Cangqiong star system the New Year for the entire system.
To celebrate the interstellar New Year, Luo Yunshi, as scheduled, prepared a live broadcast of chive and egg dumplings, braised fish with vermicelli and tofu, stir-fried chicken with mushrooms, a cold dish of minced meat with cucumber and vermicelli, fried crispy pork strips, and finally, she specifically purchased a can of yellow peach, pineapple, and pear fruit from Tuan Tuan You Xuan.
She wished everyone a Happy New Year in the chat.
She entered six times the normal price of regular dishes into the replicator. She purchased all the fruits and vegetables that needed to be prepared for the supermarkets in various apocalypse worlds, and instructed the staff at each store to arrange them. Only then did she plan to eat.
Just then, the King of Hell, Wu Wen, arrived at Haoyunlai with a group of staff.
Luo Yunshi put all the food into her system backpack and mentally transported herself to the ghost realm's Haoyunlai.
"Fairy Luo!"
Luo Yunshi knew that the King of Hell must have a reason for visiting, so she directly led them to the villa's conference room.
To avoid any mishaps, the King of Hell had already begun instructing all ghosts scheduled to reincarnate today and tomorrow to enter the underworld.
The other cities would be sealed off precisely at 5 PM today, and the ghosts in the main ghost city would also come to Haoyunlai. The underworld would also be sealed off simultaneously.
As the yin energy began to rise at 5 PM, vengeful spirits in the mortal realm would be more active. At 3 AM, the yin energy would be at its peak, making vengeful spirits more likely to appear. To be on the safe side, they would be prepared to trap vengeful spirits from 5 PM onwards.
Luo Yunshi understood that the situation in the plot where the soul reapers fought Zhu Mianmian for a day would not occur. This time, the soul reapers would only be injured and defeated, and would then escort Ji Mu back to the ghost realm, which would be much earlier than in the original plot.
Luo Yunshi stated that she had no problem on her end.
"Has the King of Hell had breakfast yet? Why not stay and have something?"
This question was like a casual inquiry from a villager, asking if someone had eaten and offering them food.
Unexpectedly, the King of Hell replied extremely quickly and seemed to not have realized it was a polite invitation.
"Alright. Thank you, Fairy Luo."
After speaking, he sat back down on the stool he had just stood up from.
Luo Yunshi: ...
"Alright, then let's go to the dining room together."
Luo Yunshi got up and led the King of Hell towards the villa's dining area.
Upon reaching the dining table, she waved her hand, placing the entire set of New Year's breakfast dishes on the table.
Immediately, a fragrant aroma filled the air, making mouths water.
The King of Hell was very appreciative and ate eight bowls of rice in one go.
One person and one ghost ate, finishing all the dishes on the table without anything left.
"The food here at Fairy Luo's place is truly delicious. After this matter is resolved, does Fairy Luo plan to open a shop here? Actually, our ghost realm is very nice, with flowers and grass, and it's lively. The roads are clean..."
The King of Hell vigorously promoted how wonderful their ghost realm was. Only when Luo Yunshi stated that the shop would also be opened here after the matter was resolved did the King of Hell feel somewhat relieved.
Of course, only somewhat.
After the meal, the King of Hell went to the simulation training room.
Not long after, the underworld issued a notice for the ghost realm.
The ghost realm notice stated that all houses and buildings in the first city of the ghost realm would be rearranged and organized starting at 5 PM. No ghost would be allowed to remain in the city.
All ghosts would need to temporarily relocate to other cities or go to Haoyunlai. The city would be completely sealed off, and the duration of the blockade was uncertain. Ghosts scheduled to reincarnate on these two days must enter the underworld before 5 PM today; otherwise, they would be responsible for any consequences of missing their reincarnation.
Upon hearing the news, the entire ghost realm erupted.
The ghosts discussed amongst themselves. However, this was an order from the King of Hell, and although the ghosts didn't know why the houses and buildings needed to be rearranged, they could only obey.
The number of guests at Haoyunlai surged. The first and second phase buildings, hotels, and capsule inns were instantly fully booked. Many of these were occupied by ghosts who were scheduled to reincarnate in two days but were doing so soon.
Ghosts with nowhere to stay also chose to browse around Haoyunlai, or simply entertain themselves in squares and parks.
Lively music played in the fast-food restaurant, and some ghosts joined in, dancing in the small square in front to the music.
Seeing this, Luo Yunshi confidently handed over the management here to A'Gui and returned to the Cangling Realm. She drank the newly acquired high-concentration spiritual spring water, consumed spiritual food, and simultaneously absorbed external spiritual energy, cultivating at an even faster rate than before.
By 5 PM, Luo Yunshi stopped cultivating, her strength having reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm.
She returned to the ghost realm's Haoyunlai. It was now the busiest time for ghosts, and the entire Haoyunlai area was bustling. Ghosts came and went, and many little ghosts were running around, making it as lively as New Year's.
Except for the medical clinic, all other shops were packed.
Luo Yunshi stayed in the villa, continuing to eat spiritual food, waiting for the vengeful spirits to arrive.
She waited until past 3 AM the next day, the time when people slept most soundly and ghosts were most active.
The plot was slowly unfolding, yet it was also different due to the appearance of Haoyunlai.
At this moment, Zhu Mianmian floated into a room, her eyes fixed with malice on the man sleeping in the bed.
She then revealed her form, emitting a thick, dark ghost aura. "Give me your heart, give me your liver, give me your kidneys."
Her voice, terrifying and eerie, echoed in the room, causing the sleeping man to frown.
Today, you will pay for everything you have done.
From afar, the two soul reapers, who had been lurking near Ji Mu's house for a long time and were unaware of Zhu Mianmian's exact arrival time, exchanged glances the moment Zhu Mianmian appeared.
They then revealed themselves together.
Zhu Mianmian's past life memory was that she killed Ji Mu, then committed suicide, and only then were the soul reapers sent to drag them back to the underworld, after which she was sentenced to hell.
Following that, Zhu Mianmian escaped using a divine artifact immediately after her death and began cultivating.
At this moment, Zhu Mianmian was unaware that in the plot, she would kill Ji Mu, then storm the underworld, and soon wound the King of Hell. Thus, she only assumed that the soul reapers had come to capture her because she had escaped, and that they were here to stop her revenge.
With her new and old grudges combined, Zhu Mianmian attacked directly.
