Xu Shenxing put aside the newspaper in his hand. The headline on the front page was printed in Da Hei typeface — "Major Kidnapping Case Solved, Our City's Police Station Adds New Merit" — which was particularly eye-catching.
He drank a mouthful of porridge (Xiao Zhengyi's bonus hadn't arrived yet), then sighed and looked up at the several erratic figures in the room.
"I say, can't you guys settle down somewhere else?"
The final result of this incident was that the guy named Qiao Hui, who was a collector on the surface but was actually a ghost cultivator, was arrested by Xiao Zhengyi and sent to prison.
Because Qin Xingyan modified Qiao Hui's memory, he didn't even remember that he was once a cultivator. However, there were witnesses and material evidence, and he also had part of the memory of kidnapping others. It was estimated that he would either be shot or sentenced to life imprisonment for the rest of his life.
And because Qiao Hui had lost his cultivation, he naturally didn't have the ability to continue restraining the spirit ghosts. Xu Shenxing also took the opportunity to release them — after learning about the miserable past of the spirit ghosts from the Earth God, he didn't intend to kill these unfortunate spirit ghosts in the basement. Otherwise, it would only be a matter of a sword for him, and there would be no need for them to possess him.
By the way, the corpse demon's body was thrown under the sun by Xu Shenxing and turned into flying ash.
But after these spirit ghosts were released, they didn't leave to find a way to achieve success or reincarnate. Instead, they regarded Xu Shenxing as their master and followed him to live in Sakura Apartment.
To be honest, this wasn't good news at all … The ghost spirit's green body and bleeding from every orifice was simply too frightening. Furthermore, according to Qin Xingyan, ghost spirits were supernatural existences with relatively low levels of mystery, so they were easy to spot.
"Originally, there weren't many people who wanted to rent my place. If you guys live here and scare away the rest of the people who want to rent, I can only eat the northwest wind …"
The spirit ghosts looked at each other, and it seemed that they didn't know what to do. Mo Li, who was on the side, seemed to have never seen this kind of creature before (?) and poked his finger with his finger. They were poking their bodies curiously with their fingers. Xu Shenxing didn't know if this scene was weird or funny.
Xu Shenxing sighed again when he saw the spirit ghosts' helpless expressions.
"Alright, even if I have to live here, can't I at least change my appearance?"
It couldn't be helped. These fellows were only five or six years old when they were refined into spirit ghosts by cruel means. After they died, they were used as tools and didn't grow much. Naturally, they didn't know many things.
When the spirit ghosts heard this, they didn't continue to stand there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Instead, their bodies turned into green smoke, and after a while, they condensed back into their human forms.
Unlike their frightening appearance just now, they had returned to the appearance of a five or six-year-old child. Their eyeballs, noses, and ears were in their original places. This was probably their original appearance when they were alive.
Although it still looked like a green spot, at least it was much better than the previous situation.
"Forget it, that's it …" Xu Shenxing could only helplessly say as if he had given up on himself.
Mo Li was probably tired of it. He didn't continue to try to touch the spirit ghosts. Instead, he finished the porridge in front of him and ran into Xu Shenxing's room like a wisp of smoke. He used the computer to watch an anime that he was obsessed with recently.
"Sigh, although the number of tenants increased, I'm not happy at all …" Xu Shenxing sighed.
The key point was, whether it was the Demon King or the young spirit ghosts, they couldn't pay the rent normally.
At this time, the doorbell rang.
"Mo Li, go open the door." Xu Shenxing was half lying on the chair as he lazily ordered.
Because the person in charge of collecting management fees had already been sent away, there was no need to be so careful now.
"I refuse." The little girl's determined voice came from the room.
"…"
Where did this girl learn to be so lazy?
Xu Shenxing helplessly got up and went to the entrance. When he opened the door, he saw Qin Xingyan, who he hadn't seen for a while, standing outside the door with a small suitcase.
"Why are you here?" Xu Shenxing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I'm here to rent a room." Qin Xingyan waved Xu Shenxing's advertisement that was originally posted on a nearby telephone pole and said with a smile, "Senior Xu, do you not welcome me?"
"Don't you live on campus?" Xu Shenxing realized that blocking the door wasn't a good way to treat a guest, so he stepped aside and let Qin Xingyan in first. "Jiang Jin University doesn't usually allow day students."
"The rules in the secular world mean nothing to people like us. A small confusion spell can solve the problem. Living on campus is inconvenient for cultivation. "Qin Xingyan, who had already been here once, didn't stand on ceremony. He went into the entrance, put on the slippers for tenants, and said," There are not so many scruples here. "
"Not necessarily. I might rent other rooms to ordinary people …" Xu Shenxing muttered.
"Then let's wait until you find a tenant."
"Your expression as if I can't find a normal tenant makes me very angry."
"If I'm wrong, I can apologize. But senior, have you ever had a mortal tenant?"
"… Sooner or later." Xu Shenxing was a little unconfident.
Seeing that Qin Xingyan didn't seem to be joking, Xu Shenxing finally became serious. "Anyway, how about staying in the room you stayed in a few days ago? If you're not satisfied, you can change. Anyway, I only have a lot of empty rooms here. "
"That room is fine. By the way, Senior Xu, can I set up some restrictions or something in it?"
"As long as you like …"
Xu Shenxing had already given up on this. "But let me make it clear in advance. If the room is damaged, you have to pay for it."
"No problem."
"About five times the market price."
"Senior, every time we talk about this, I feel that you're a little narrow-minded. You're obviously such a powerful person …"
"Shut up, you bourgeois! You're so rich, how can you understand my pain! "
"I think if senior really wants to make money, there are many ways."
"For example, robbing a bank?"
"Why are you so extreme! Please use a more high-end way to make money! "
"Using hacker technology to rob a bank?"
"Although it's indeed high-end, it has nothing to do with senior's strength. Can you please use a more legal way to make money?"
Xu Shenxing was silent for a moment. Then, he said tentatively, "After someone succeeds in robbing a bank, you kill the robbers, and then take their money?"
The girl and Xu Shenxing looked at each other for a few seconds. Then, as if she had compromised, she sighed. "Okay, although I don't know why senior is so against using supernatural abilities to make money, I understand that you have your own difficulties."
"Ah, speaking of money, rent!" Because he didn't want to talk about this topic, Xu Shenxing immediately changed the topic. He clapped his hands and opened his right hand to Qin Xingyan, who was dragging the suitcase. "Since you're so rich, is it okay to pay for three months?"
"Of course. By the way, can I pay with spirit stones? This kind of currency is more popular in the cultivation world. "
"No, please, just use normal RMB …"
Just like that, Sakura Apartment welcomed a new tenant.
