Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 137 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 4

Upon hearing this, everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lin Xiaoqian was the first to react and quickly asked, "Moying, what exactly happened? Where did you go last night?"

Mo Ying walked over and sat down, picked up an egg and slowly peeled it, her brows furrowed with joy.

"Listen to me slowly. Last night, I used my spiritual energy to help Liao Zhuang clear the ghost energy from his body. After circulating it for one cycle, the spiritual energy returned to my body, and I suddenly discovered that the ghost energy had actually been absorbed by my spiritual energy."

"At that time, I guessed that I could absorb the ghost energy in this world and use it for my own purposes, so I went out, caught a ghost, and then directly used my demon energy to absorb it."

At this point, Mo Ying added, "I am a demon, and my body contains demonic power. Demonic power cannot directly enter the human body's meridians. The spiritual energy that dispelled the ghostly aura from Liao Village yesterday was transformed by my demonic power."

"As a result, the ghost immediately melted away like ice cream, transforming into my demonic power without any pressure, even faster than when I absorbed it with spiritual energy. However, although that ghost's demonic power was still shallow, the amount of demonic power it added to me was equivalent to what I gained from three days of cultivation."

Everyone was stunned. Lin Xiaoqian's mind popped into the Star Absorbing Technique from martial arts dramas.

Zhuang Damao patted Liao Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "Liao Zhuang, look, that thing is nothing more than a supplement for Mo Ying to enhance his demonic power. Now you don't have to be afraid anymore."

Liao Zhuang swallowed hard and nodded.

Lin Xiaoqian's eyes widened as she asked, "So, you didn't come home all night because you went to refine ghosts?"

Mo Ying's eyes sparkled, and she nodded excitedly, pointing outside the door: "You don't know, there were so many ghosts on this street outside our shop last night!"

Thinking about the ghosts that he saw on the street yesterday, Mo Ying felt as happy as a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.

"So, you've refined all the ghosts on this street?"

Mo Ying nodded, then shook his head: "Some ghosts without consciousness were wandering around this street like idiots. Most of them have been refined by me. The ghosts with self-awareness realized something was wrong and all ran away. I just grabbed one of the fleeing ghosts and asked it who the most powerful ghost on this street was. After all, the most powerful ghost has more ghost power."

Mo Ying stuffed the peeled egg into his mouth, chewed it twice, swallowed it, and said, "The most powerful ghost on this street is said to be the Ghost King of this street. He does have some skills, but I still easily defeated him. However, it took a lot of effort to refine him. With the Ghost King's ghost power, in just one night, I have recovered 10% of the demon power I lost."

Everyone was deeply shocked after hearing Mo Ying's account.

Mo Ying put his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair with a smug look on his face. Looking closely at his appearance, he did look a little older than he did yesterday.

Lin Xiaoqian frowned slightly and asked, "Your sudden rapid improvement, won't it have some negative impact on you?"

Mo Ying waved his hand: "Not at all. I'm just replenishing my lost demonic power and returning to my peak state. Just say this world is my blessed land. Tonight, I'll go out and find other ghost kings. I believe I can quickly replenish the 50% of my lost demonic power."

Jiang Shuang frowned slightly and said, "Although this ghostly energy can help you restore your demonic power, won't such a large-scale refining of ghosts cause some trouble?"

Mo Ying waved his hand dismissively and said, "What's there to be afraid of? The world is a jungle where the strong prey on the weak; that's just the way it is. If those ghosts have the ability, they can come and refine me."

Cow breaking!

The "clack-clack-clack" of high heels clicking on the cobblestones made a crisp sound.

Lin Xiaoqian glanced outside the shop. It was a bright and sunny day, with the sun shining brightly and casting a golden glow on the outside, a stark contrast to the gloomy and rainy atmosphere of yesterday.

The footsteps grew louder as they approached, and soon Sister Hong appeared at the doorway.

Hongjie was still wearing a black cheongsam, holding a black parasol in her hand, her hair neatly pinned up behind her head, looking just like a wealthy lady from the Republican era.

As he passed by the restaurant, he extended his hand and gave Lin Xiaoqian and the others a graceful greeting: "Good morning, everyone."

Lin Xiaoqian thought to herself: Elegant, truly elegant. Sister Hong is even wearing bright red silk gloves.

Sister Hong glanced at the sunlight on the ground and smiled charmingly: "We haven't seen the sun on this street for a long time, but it came out on the second day you arrived. It's amazing. Oh, by the way, the roast duck yesterday was delicious. Thank you."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a shrill scream rang out from the right side of the shop.

"what!!!"

Sister Hong looked to the right, frowned slightly, and said, "Crazy woman, what's wrong with you so early in the morning?"

Lin Xiaoqian and the others quickly went out to see what was going on. They saw an old woman with disheveled hair and colorful ribbons tied around her head waving her arms and legs in front of the shop on the right, muttering something, but they couldn't understand what she was saying.

Her clothes were dusty and looked somewhat worn. Her neck was covered with necklaces of various sizes. Some of the necklaces had tags on them, some looked like they were made of strung stones, and some were carved from wood. They were all different in style.

"Ignore her. This crazy woman is always like this. She used to be the shaman on this street, known as Aunt Yun. I don't know what triggered her to go crazy." Sister Hong's voice was still elegant, but it carried a hint of helplessness, as if she was used to the crazy woman's behavior.

Zhuang Damao scratched his head and said, "This crazy woman looks scary. Is she dangerous?"

Liao Zhuang also looked worried. "Yes, what if she goes berserk and attacks people?"

Lin Xiaoqian stared intently at the madwoman, trying to glean some clues from her actions.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Mo Ying strolled out of the store.

Yun Gu suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked straight at Mo Ying.

"You're a jinx! You're a jinx!!" Her eyes were filled with fear as she pointed at Mo Ying and shouted.

Mo Ying frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about? What rubbish are you spouting?"

Lin Xiaoqian quickly stepped forward, trying to comfort the crazy woman: "Auntie, don't be afraid."

However, Yun Gu remained terrified, retreating continuously while shouting, "No, it's not a fierce beast, it's the underworld! The underworld is coming! Run!"

She quickly retreated to the shop on the right and slammed the door shut.

Zhuang Damao scratched his head and said, "Why is this crazy woman suddenly so agitated? Could she have mistaken me for someone else?"

Mo Ying snorted coldly: "Lost in his mind, talking nonsense."

Sister Hong gave him a meaningful look, then smiled and said, "Young man, this crazy woman often acts erratically and talks nonsense, don't take it to heart."

Then she nodded slightly, walked in her high heels to the shop on the left side of the restaurant, pushed open the door and went inside.
