Inside the Evil Spirit Instance.
Tang Xiaoling tilted her little head, her face full of confusion.
As a four-year-old toddler, she clearly hadn't caught Ghost King Zhong's hint.
What did Netherworld Fengdu have to do with me becoming a princess?
Was that the workplace Daddy hated most?
Thinking back, every time her father, Tang Long, had to go to work, he looked as though he had nothing left to live for.
But to provide for her, he had no choice but to go and work hard.
So whenever father and daughter parted, Tang Xiaoling always had to comfort him.
To an outsider, it would have looked exactly like she was soothing a little child...
But just because Tang Xiaoling hadn't understood didn't mean Roman and the others hadn't.
The three people prostrating themselves on the ground were already shocked beyond words!
Never in their wildest dreams had they imagined Tang Xiaoling had such an extraordinary background!
Especially Li Zhuang, when he heard Ghost King Zhong say that anyone who dared defy Tang Xiaoling would be cast into the Infernal Abyss.
His entire body began trembling uncontrollably, and all hope drained from his heart.
Thinking of everything he'd done earlier, he was surely doomed to die!
He probably wouldn't make it out of this Instance alive!
At that thought, Li Zhuang broke into a cold sweat, his mind racing.
He desperately tried to figure out how to make amends and cling to life.
But just then, Ghost King Zhong moved again.
With a wave of his great hand, several enormous wooden chests suddenly appeared behind him.
They were filled to the brim with Spirit Coins!
"Your Highness, these are a few humble gifts your subordinate prepared for you. Please don't find them wanting."
As he spoke, Ghost King Zhong bowed respectfully once more.
Staring at those chests packed with money, Roman and the others swallowed hard!
That... that was far too much money!
The Stream Viewers were equally dizzy at the sight, their emotions a tangled mess.
At a glance, a single chest probably held over a million Spirit Coins!
Counting them carefully, they discovered there were no fewer than ten!
In other words, Ghost King Zhong had casually given away ten million Spirit Coins!
"Now I finally understand why Tang Xiaoling said she had two whole wardrobes full of pocket money!"
"Comparing yourself to others really can kill you! Forget owning that many Spirit Coins-I've never even seen that much!"
"Other people enter Instances wondering how to survive. This little toddler enters one and gets filthy rich! I'm fucking numb!"
"To be honest, everyone, I've suddenly realized Tang Xiaoling looks like my long-lost mother..."
"The person above has absolutely no shame. She's only four, and you're saying she looks like your mother? She's clearly my long-lost big sister!"
At that moment, the viewers couldn't possibly have been more envious.
After all, the current exchange rate between Spirit Coins and real-world currency was one to ten thousand!
Ten million Spirit Coins converted into real-world currency amounted to a staggering hundred billion!
Across the entire world, how many people possessed that kind of net worth?
Yet Tang Xiaoling, a four-year-old toddler, had effortlessly acquired a hundred billion in assets!
Anyone claiming they weren't jealous would have been lying through their teeth.
Quite a few people even secretly resented the fact that they hadn't been born into Tang Xiaoling's family.
With such a terrifying background, why would anyone fear an Evil Spirit Instance? It was practically no different from visiting a Haunted House!
And it was the kind where she wasn't even allowed to get scared.
Otherwise, every last NPC in the Haunted House would have to die!
Her thoughts interrupted, Tang Xiaoling gazed at the ten enormous chests of Spirit Coins.
With an adult-like expression of seriousness, she said:
"Uncle, Daddy said I can't take things from other people."
At those words, everyone collectively lost it!
You really were a princess through and through!
With one casual sentence, she'd turned away a hundred billion!
Absolutely no one in the world could match that kind of resolve!
After being rejected, Ghost King Zhong immediately realized he had offered the wrong gifts.
The princess was only four. She had no real concept of money.
No matter how much he offered, she wouldn't accept it.
He immediately waved his great hand again, putting away all the Spirit Coins. In their place, a hundred Spirit Artifacts floated behind him!
At a glance, even the lowest-grade ones were mid-tier!
"Forgive me, Your Highness. Your subordinate was thoughtless."
"To make up for it, please have a look at these toys. Are there any you like?"
"Or perhaps your subordinate could give all these toys to Your Highness?"
Ghost King Zhong's face was wreathed in smiles, the very picture of a shameless bootlicker.
Seeing this, the viewers, whose composure had already cracked, went completely insane.
Giving away a hundred billion was one thing, but since when had even mid-tier Spirit Artifacts become toys?
There were only a little over two hundred mid-tier Spirit Artifacts officially recorded in the world.
Yet Ghost King Zhong had produced over a hundred in one go-half the world's total!
Good grief, they'd truly had their eyes opened today!
The world of the wealthy really was this plain and unpretentious!
But Tang Xiaoling didn't even glance at them. She still refused with complete conviction:
"I don't want them. Daddy bought me two big rooms full of toys. Lingling has enough to play with."
Viewers: ╮(￣▽￣)╭
No wonder you were royalty!
The mid-tier Spirit Artifacts that Normal people like us could only dream of were just toys to you!
Go ahead and play, Your Highness. Who could possibly compete with you!
In fact, it wasn't just the Stream Viewers. Even Ghost King Zhong's expression stiffened at her words, leaving him at a loss.
After all, what he'd brought out was practically his entire fortune.
Although he did have a few high-tier Spirit Artifacts, those had been bestowed upon him by Tang Xiaoling's father, the Ghost Emperor!
And now he was supposed to turn around and give them to the Ghost Emperor's daughter?
Wouldn't that be fucking asking for a beating?
Standing nearby, Lady Ten noticed her husband's predicament and immediately smiled to herself.
Then she turned her hand over, produced an exquisite Cloth Doll, and held it out to Tang Xiaoling.
"Your Highness, do you like it?"
As she spoke, Lady Ten gave the Cloth Doll a few little shakes.
Tang Xiaoling's big eyes were instantly drawn to it, and she nodded emphatically.
"Yes! What a pretty Cloth Doll!"
"But..."
Seeing that the little girl was about to refuse again, Lady Ten smiled gently and said:
"Take it. Auntie sewed this especially for you."
With that, she tucked it into Tang Xiaoling's hands.
Standing beside them, Ghost King Zhong was deeply astonished!
This Cloth Doll had been crafted using the remnant soul of his and Lady Ten's first child after the child died young.
Inside it was the remnant spirit of their child!
For a hundred years, Lady Ten had kept it by her side, cherishing it like a priceless treasure.
She had been waiting until she conceived again, so she could place that remnant spirit into the unborn child and give their first child another chance at life!
He had never expected her to give it away now!
Yet just as Tang Xiaoling played with the Cloth Doll, an eerie purple light flashed and vanished!
Ghost King Zhong caught that fleeting sight clearly, and his eyelids instantly began twitching wildly!
A Spirit Servant Contract?!
Lady Ten gave our future child to the princess as a servant?!!
