"..."

"Not bad... well~"

"Master, there are so many people coming to see the doctor outside, it's a bit too crowded. Should we send them away? Several of them even started fighting while waiting in line."

When the Blood Doll saw its owner come downstairs, it immediately rushed over, blinking its big eyes and asking a question.

However, upon hearing this, Ling Mengxue frowned, a clear light seeming to shine in her bright eyes. "The customer is God. How can we mortals participate in a war of gods?"

A simple sentence reached his ears, and at that moment, light seemed to appear in the Blood Doll's eyes!

My owner is so sophisticated and classy!

The great Legendary Witch could easily suppress all the demons with a wave of her hand, yet she always upheld the ideals of justice and chose to slowly influence them—she was so kind!

Ling Mengxue took a feather duster from the cupboard and happened to see the Blood Doll's adoring gaze, which made her feel puzzled.

What is this little girl secretly imagining now?

What's with that adoring expression?

A thought flashed through her mind, but Ling Mengxue shook her head and didn't care anymore.

As the benefactor who revived the Blood Doll, the little girl already has a 100% favorability rating towards me, so no matter how I think about it, I'll probably only see the positive side. Thinking too much is pointless~

There's one more thing she didn't make clear: although there's a battle of gods and a chaotic dance of demons outside the shop, anyone who dares to fight in front of the Legendary Witch's shop, even a god, will be killed!

She had mentally prepared herself, but when she pushed open the door, Ling Mengxue was still shocked. It was as if she had an egg in her mouth, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

At that moment, outside the apothecary, countless evil spirits stood in a long line, each with an expectant look on their face, as if they were waiting for something.

The moment someone came out, the scene erupted in excitement!

"Hello, Miss Witch! I'm Good Ghost, and I'm your fan! Could you please help me cure the hemorrhoids that I couldn't get cured in my past life?"

"Witch, a massive demon riot has broken out in East Street. We would like to offer you funds to suppress it!"

"My leg is broken. Can I buy a replacement leg?"

"Could you please give me ten kidneys? Money is no object!"

Ling Mengxue: "..."

Looking at the dark mass of ghosts and monsters before her, with the procession stretching deep into the mist, Ling Mengxue didn't know whether to be worried or happy.

Everything was fine yesterday, wasn't it?

How did their popularity explode so quickly, after just one night?

Seemingly sensing her confusion, the Blood Doll suddenly poked its little head out from behind her, brought out the phone from the store, and very considerately turned on the Ping'an District Ghost-Realm Network.

After Ling Mengxue took the item and received an explanation from the little girl, she finally understood!

So the reason it caused such a widespread impact was simply because of the cheat-like aura I unlocked with the Evil Witch yesterday?

Uh... Hall-tier magical aura?

But she remembered that she had tried her best to control herself, so how could she still make such a commotion?

Well, it's probably because the ghosts and supernatural beings in the Ping'an District are more sensitive to the aura of those Destiny Engraver, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.

However, although this ghost city is much larger than Huaguo's four first-tier cities and resembles a supernatural kingdom, if a few Hall-Tier Magic were cast, the entire city would probably be reduced to ruins. It seems that such fear is not without reason.

No wonder Ling Mengxue could see many fourth and fifth-tier supernatural beings among the supernatural beings present, as well as two sixth-tier Ghost King, the "Nightmare Fairy," the "Dark Vampire," the "Bridal-Gown Female Ghost," and other powerful ghosts.

Judging from their appearance, they either came because of its reputation or deliberately sought an excuse to come here and watch the excitement.

The main reason is that the "Legendary Witch" plays a lawful and neutral role in the world of the Ping'an District. Regardless of whether you are on the good or evil side, as long as you don't cross the witch's bottom line, she can help you with almost anything.

This crucial point is deeply ingrained in people's minds, so the fear level of the ghosts is naturally not that high.

Ling Mengxue had no reason not to receive guests, so she readily called on Blood Doll to help her get busy.

Since they are guests, it wouldn't be good to just kick them out. Using Middle Tier magic in combination with potions to heal and save lives is a very quick method.

At worst...

We can always close the shop for a break in the afternoon!

It won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer.

Alright, let's get started!

Let's do it one at a time, following the queue.

In reality, most of them weren't seriously injured; they probably bit themselves on purpose, just for the sake of the Legendary Witch.

If we had been any slower, the wound would have already healed!

Don't you guys like to stir up trouble when you have nothing better to do?

Hehe--

Not a single penny of the money owed should be missed!

The two of them worked until noon, and after sending most of the ghosts away, Ling Mengxue briefly took stock.

Hmm... judging by the thickness of these banknotes, it must be at least tens of thousands of Soul Coins, almost enough to buy a house here!

Although they're all haunted houses...

After making a plan, Ling Mengxue decided to close the business in half an hour.

She was exhausted after working so hard, but she used magic and illusions to cover it up so that others couldn't tell.

As Astral Mark Girl, her physique should be quite good.

At least that's how it is for other people's Fate Girls.

But unfortunately, her physique was very weak. Unless she was in a combat-ready state, her strength was barely greater than that of the girl next door. Even the Star Warrior realm didn't matter; she was automatically drawn into a virtuous and gentle lady mode by the Destiny Sign.

Most importantly, this is a forced and passive situation!

It's so annoying.

"Hello, witch! I need treatment!"

As Ling Mengxue was secretly making plans in her heart, a young ghost who was extremely thin, had two huge dark circles under his eyes, and looked not very old, walked over unsteadily.

The young ghost looked utterly dejected, like a college student who had stayed up all night, his face haggard. He said, "Please give me five more... oh no, more! Ten more livers! Money is no object!"

"What?!" "What kind of illness requires so much liver? Are you planning to take it home and cook it?" Ling Mengxue's face stiffened, and she asked with a strange expression.

She'd been in this place for so long, and she'd never heard of such a bizarre request.

Moreover, she had seen headless ghosts carrying heads, terrifying supernatural beings parasitizing those wearing human skin, and even monsters with bull heads and human bodies, but this was the first time she had ever seen something so unreal!

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Legend of Xiao Ao Jianghu

This guy, was he perhaps favored to death by seventeen or eighteen fairies all at once before he died?

If there were even a few fewer people, it wouldn't be this badly damaged, would it?

"Ahem... Let me introduce myself." The young ghost grinned, his voice weak, as if he might die at any moment. "I'm from the Fifth Block Avenue Ping'an Street, on the third floor of the Red Moon Apartments. You can call me by my pen name, 'Xiao Ao Jianghu'!"

What are you making? Paste?

What kind of name is that? It sounds strangely familiar.

(")

Ling Mengxue mentally complained, but still asked, "What kind of illness would require ten livers?"

"Hmph~ I'm a writer, you know that?"

The young ghost gritted his teeth, clutching his head, as if recalling some unpleasant memory. He said angrily, "Speaking of which... it's a sad story... On a stormy night, I wrote ten chapters in one night and died from exhaustion! But I hadn't even finished submitting my manuscript! I'm not satisfied!! I need fifty more... no, a hundred more!! I'm going to write a hundred chapters a day, even if it kills ten livers a day!!"

Good heavens!

This guy is so dedicated, he's even more so than Teacher Catherine!

Seriously... is the novel writing industry really this competitive now?

Can't you survive without risking your life?

But Ling Mengxue didn't have any ghost entrails; she'd never seen anything like them even in the store's original inventory.

Adding it is impossible.

"Sorry, we don't offer this here..."

Snap--!!

Before the word "service" could even be uttered, the young ghost (Xiao Ao Jianghu) slapped his hand down, throwing 40,000 Soul Coins directly onto the table.

"How many more do you want? A hundred, right? No problem~ Our shop specializes in this kind of service, we'll give you ten extra for free later!"

Ling Mengxue casually put the money in her pocket, an angelic smile appearing on her delicate, fair face, her lips slightly upturned, as if she were immune to all poisons.

Aside from a smile, you couldn't detect a single emotion!

The first rule of professional conduct: When dealing with guests, you must always wear the most genuine smile!

This is how you can make your guests feel your sincerity!

Fortunately, the Legendary Magic Compendium I recently obtained from a quest contains records of this kind of magic that "creates things out of thin air".

Even if one's magical skill is high enough, it is not difficult to create a person out of thin air. However, the created object has a certain time limit and will automatically disappear as soon as the time is up.

Well, this great writer is so dedicated to his work, he probably has over a hundred livers, it won't be long before he runs out of them.

Creating a "ghostly entrails" using magic requires 100 Soul Coins and 120 livers, which is 12,000 Soul Coins in total. That's a whopping 20,000 to 80,000 soul coins!

This move was basically a guaranteed profit!

Ping'an Avenue, afternoon.

Even at this time, the sky over the ghost realm remained dark and gloomy.

At this time of year, the well-fed ghosts wander aimlessly through Ping'an Street, drifting about. Occasionally, they encounter familiar ghosts and chat for a few moments, much like the outside world, creating a vibrant atmosphere of daily life.

Of course, only wealthy people can afford to eat here.

If you could eat human flesh, you'd be the envy of all the neighbors!

Moreover, there were also poor people who cared about their image, saving up money to buy a piece of meat and putting it in the refrigerator. When they were about to leave, they would smear some blood on their mouths.

When I went out, I ran into an acquaintance who asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

He then "casually" licked his lips. "Didn't I just finish eating?"

The other person: Wow! You live the life of a pro, eating meat every day! I'm so envious! (☆?☆)

At that moment, his smugness was self-evident!

This is even more refreshing than eating meat several times over!

However, the situation in the Second Lane District has changed recently.

Eating human flesh in front of the Legendary Witch's shop? That's just plain crazy!

Even ten lives wouldn't be enough to pay for it!

Do you think you can do whatever you want just because the witch is "kind" and "gentle"?

Could you please give me a performance?

If you come back alive, I'll acknowledge you as my older brother, okay?

Soon, the last group of swindlers strode in from the main road at the entrance of the second alley, their faces full of smugness.
