According to the previous timeline of the Goat-Foot Maid Ghoul resistance to the Parasitic Creature...

Yun Xi had timed it perfectly, and only after she had 'barely' eliminated the spirit power of the Parasitic Creature did she slowly open her eyes.

Before she knew it, the elder had already walked up to her.

She tried to keep her breathing steady, her eyes revealing a hint of "tiredness" and "weakness".

He gazed at her silently, his eyes weighing as heavy as a thousand pounds...

Yun Xi could feel Chang Zheng scrutinizing her, trying to find flaws in her every subtle expression and movement.

Just then, Yun Xi suddenly felt two extremely strong malice coming from beside her, which came from the parasitic Goat-Foot Maid Ghoul and the Rabbit-Ear Maid ghost.

The malice surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing Yun Xi. She felt a chill run down her spine, a coldness shooting from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Yun Xi subconsciously turned her head to look at them, only to see that the Goat-Foot Maid Ghoul and the Rabbit-Ear Maid Gui's eyes were filled with resentment and ferocity, as if they wanted to devour her alive.

Could it be that these two female ghosts sensed that she hadn't been possessed by the parasitic spirit, or even that they had destroyed the Parasitic Creature spirit, and that's why they harbored such strong malice towards her?

Considering the strong sense of unity and close relationships among these Parasitic Creature, it is indeed possible...

At this moment, the chief chuckled and unleashed a dense stream of eerie energy, sweeping the sheep-footed ghost and the rabbit-eared ghost out the door.

That eerie aura was like a raging black dragon, roaring and sweeping away with unparalleled power.

Before the sheep-footed ghost and the rabbit-eared ghost could even utter a scream, they were swept away by this powerful force and vanished instantly outside the door.

As the door closed again, only the director and Yun Xi remained in the room. The atmosphere instantly became quiet and oppressive, and Yun Xi's heartbeat sounded exceptionally clear.

She stood up and looked at the chief, wondering what he would say next. The chief's inscrutable expression left Yun Xi puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she patiently waited for the chief to speak first.

Do you know why I left you alone?

He returned to his desk, his voice echoing quietly in the room, carrying an unquestionable authority.

He slowly sat down, leaning back slightly against the chair, his gaze fixed on Yun Xi as if trying to see through her heart.

Faced with the question from the elder, countless thoughts flashed through Yun Xi's mind in an instant.

Has he already realized something's wrong with him? Or does he have another ulterior motive?

Yun Xi a deep breath and cautiously replied, "This subordinate does not know, please enlighten me, Master."

A brief silence fell over the room again. Long, thin fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he was pondering how to speak.

"Sit down first." A few seconds later, the elder pointed to the chair next to him.

Yun Xi paused slightly, glancing hesitantly at the chair the chief pointed to, then at the chief's expressionless face. After a brief hesitation, she said softly, "Thank you, Chief."

She 'carefully' approached the chair, sat down gently, her back ramrod straight, her hands neatly placed on her knees, her gaze still fixed on the elder, waiting for his next words.

"Yun Cai, right? Are you interested in becoming my successor?" The next second, the elder brother uttered an explosive statement.

Upon hearing this, Yun Xi was somewhat incredulous. Her mouth gaped open, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. This wasn't an act; it was her genuine reaction.

Seeing Yun Xi's confusion, the elder didn't hide anything from her and quickly explained, "That Strange Energy Crystal is one of the ways I select my successors. There is a Parasitic Creature inside. You should have noticed it too, right? Your willpower is quite good; you were actually able to resist the parasitic substance."

"So that's how it is... But this is too unbelievable, selecting heirs based solely on a single crystal and Parasitic Creature?"

The elder seemed to see through her thoughts and continued, "This Parasitic Creature is extremely difficult to deal with; most people simply cannot resist it. But you not only managed to do so, but you also remained clear-headed and rational, which is precisely the quality I value."

Yun Xi remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Chief, this is too sudden. I don't understand why you chose such a unique method, and are there any other tests or requirements involved?"

The elder smiled slightly and said, "This is just the first step; there's still a long road ahead. But your performance has given me hope."

"I'm about to be promoted to governor, so I want to groom a successor." The governor didn't dwell on the topic of the Parasitic Creature, but instead changed the subject to other things.

Yun Xi slightly taken aback, her surprise still lingering. She gazed at the long, thick fabric, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

The leader coughed lightly and continued, "I have accumulated a lot of experience and Abnormal Veins in the management of this city, but the challenges I will face in this new position will be even greater. I need a capable, courageous, and wise leader to take over from me and continue to drive the development here."

Yun Xi listened quietly, pondering the deeper meaning of the elder's words.

The chief continued speaking eloquently, "Economic development, the improvement of people's lives, and the maintenance of public security—every task is crucial. I hope my successor will have a long-term vision and be able to make the right decisions in complex situations."

Yun Xi nodded gently and said, "Chief, the responsibilities you mentioned are immense, and I'm not sure if I have the ability to shoulder them."

The elder smiled slightly and said, "That's why this is a process of nurturing. I believe you have potential, and as long as you are willing to work hard, I will fully support you."

"Besides you, there are two other inheritors of the Ghostly Spirit, and they will compete with you for my current position. As for improving your strength, you don't need to worry. There are plenty of Strange Energy Crystal available. However, you will need to resist the erosion from the Parasitic Creature each time. As long as you can persevere, you will become Abnormal God sooner or later."

Yun Xi extracted a lot of information from these words.

These Strange Energy Crystal are all-encompassing, and each one contains this Strange Energy Crystal Parasitic Creature.

I'm afraid... this Strange Energy Crystal didn't originate from the Blue Ghost Domain itself, but rather was transported from a higher-level Abnormal Domain.

Yun Xi's brain was working at lightning speed, constantly analyzing the hidden truth behind this information.

If the Strange Energy Crystal comes from a higher level of Abnormal Domain, then the connection behind it is probably extremely complicated.
