Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 141 The World of Ghosts and Monsters 8

Once the owners of several shops tasted the roast duck themselves, they completely forgot their previous doubts.

This roast duck is so delicious, rich but not greasy at all! No wonder there are so many people here.

After they finished eating at the store, they packed a few to take home for their families to try.

In one morning, Lin Xiaoqian and her team sold dozens of ducks.

However, this is only a drop in the ocean compared to the task of managing 800 animals.

Jiang Shuang and a few others even discussed going out to do some 'ground promotion' with Mo Ying in the afternoon.

After the guests finished their meal and left, only Yagyu and his apprentice Kotomi remained in the restaurant.

Besides exorcising evil spirits and subduing ghosts, the Celestial Master also knew a bit about physiognomy. Liu Sheng had looked at the faces of Lin Xiaoqian and the others, but each of their faces seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, making it difficult to see them clearly.

Liu Sheng was puzzled and stared intently, wanting to take a closer look.

Seeing that the old Taoist priest kept staring at them, Lin Xiaoqian pulled Mo Ying aside and asked him, "Where did these two people come from? Why are they staring at us like that?"

Mo Ying glanced at Liu Sheng, and their eyes met. Liu Sheng immediately pretended to subtly shift his gaze.

"We met them at the street corner. I thought the two of them could sell two roast ducks, but I didn't expect them to be so poor. Not only did they order one roast duck, but they also sat in the shop for the whole morning."

Mo Ying suddenly seemed to remember something: "Oh, right, a guest said he was some kind of Taoist master."

"Celestial Masters?" Lin Xiaoqian murmured to himself, then said, "We are now in a world of ghosts and monsters. Celestial Masters should be two people who specialize in subduing ghosts and monsters. I see that they are surrounded by spiritual energy."

Mo Ying nodded and casually said, "That male Celestial Master seems to have the cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining, while the woman has just begun to draw Qi into her body, so she's probably at the first level of Qi Refining."

But, if they're here to catch ghosts, then they must know where all the ghosts are.

Lin Xiaoqian was slightly surprised when she heard Mo Ying's words, "You can tell their cultivation levels?"

Mo Ying shrugged: "I have practiced the art of spirit observation, so I can naturally see their cultivation level. It's nothing special. This kind of magic is common in the cultivation world. However, it can only see those who are lower level than myself. It can't see those who are higher level than myself."

Lin Xiaoqian: "Okay."

Mo Ying smiled nonchalantly: "I'll go ask them."

After saying that, he walked straight to the master and apprentice in the corner.

When Liu Sheng met Mo Ying's gaze, he knew things were going badly. He had been too hasty and might have alerted the enemy.

Mo Ying plopped down next to Liu Sheng, who instantly felt immense pressure.

This is a Netherworld-level ghost! I should have gone to find my senior sister after finishing the roast duck; at least I'd have someone to help me.

Thinking that Mo Ying would make a direct move, Liu Sheng tensed up, ready for battle, as he had to protect his little apprentice, Xiao Tong.

Unexpectedly, Mo Ying smiled and asked the two of them, "Was the roast duck delicious?"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he did not let his guard down.

Xiaotong was a little nervous, but she still nodded and said the roast duck was delicious.

Mo Ying asked again, "On the way here, I heard people say that you are Taoist priests, is that right?"

Yagyu's back was covered in sweat. Who knew that the demon was all smiles now, but wouldn't reveal its fangs the next second? Kotomi didn't dare to make a sound either.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Mo Ying directly stated his guess: "You must have come to catch ghosts. However, you're too late."

As he spoke, he pointed to himself with a smug look on his face: "All the ghosts on this street have been subdued by me... I will never have a ghost scaring people on this street again."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng's heart sank. There was not a trace of ghostly energy on this street, which was indeed related to this Netherworld-level ghost. He wondered what the ghost was planning to do after subduing so many ghosts.

It took him a while to find his voice: "They...they've all been caught?"

Mo Ying nodded and said, "Of course."

That's still not enough.

He leaned closer to Yagyu and asked, "Tell me, do you know of any other places that are haunted like this one? Preferably places with similar strength to the demon king on this street."

Liu Sheng stood there in shock, looking at the creature that was almost as fierce as that one.

Wait, he subdued that evil spirit too? Then he wasted his money buying the Netherworld Candle to summon ghosts.

Yagyu swallowed hard. "No, I wonder what this senior intends to do with all those demons?"

Mo Ying glanced at him: "You don't need to worry about that. Don't worry, I'm a good person, and I'm best at exorcising demons. If there are any ghosts that are harming the area, you can tell me, and I'll go and rid the people of this scourge." He naturally didn't need to tell an outsider that he could transform ghosts into demonic power.

After considering his options several times, Liu Sheng decided to appease Mo Ying first, and then contact a few more powerful celestial masters to come over. He was confident that he could subdue Mo Ying before considering anything else.

However, before that, we can tell Mo Ying a few places that even the Celestial Masters' Office finds difficult to deal with, so that they can fight each other to the death, and the Celestial Masters' Office can sit back and watch the tigers fight, which will make it easier to negotiate terms.

Mo Ying left satisfied after finding out where the several vengeful ghosts were.

Yagyu and Kotomi exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go," Yagyu said to Kotomi.

After all, they already knew everything they wanted to know, and the ferocious beast on this street was gone.

The master and apprentice paid the bill and left the restaurant.

Xiaotong followed behind Yagyu, still feeling uneasy. She asked, "Master, um... will we really go to those places?"

Liu Sheng frowned slightly and said, "Since he's interested in powerful ghosts, he'll probably go. But we can't let our guard down. We need to get back to the Celestial Master's Office as soon as possible and inform the others about this."

Liu Sheng glanced back at the small restaurant, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Tong glanced back at the small restaurant and asked, "Master, can I buy a few roast ducks to take home?"

Seeing Liu Sheng looking at her, she said timidly, "I just think this roast duck is really delicious, and I want to take it back for my senior brothers and sisters to eat."

Liu Sheng thought of the roast duck he had just eaten, and his mouth watered. He was also somewhat tempted.

He nodded, feigning indifference, and said, "Go ahead. I'll wait for you outside."

Xiao Tong immediately turned around happily and went back to buy roast duck.

Liu Sheng stood there, watching Xiao Tong run happily back to the small restaurant, and shook his head helplessly.

Not long after Xiaotong went inside, the door of the shop on the left was suddenly opened.

Yun Gu walked out timidly, and Liu Sheng recognized her at a glance as his senior sister.

"Senior Sister Yun!" Liu Sheng called out.

Yun Gu was startled by the shout, but when she saw that it was Liu Sheng, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"You're Yagyu? What are you doing here?" Then her expression changed, her face filled with fear, and she shouted at him, "It's dangerous here, you have to leave!"

Looking at Yun Gu, who was disheveled and looked somewhat crazy, Liu Sheng realized that she was completely different from the senior sister he remembered, who had her hair tied up in a bun and had a gentle smile.

"Senior sister, it's been three years! How did you change so much? What happened? I can't reach you by phone."

Liu Sheng grasped Yun Gu's trembling hand: "Senior Sister, come back to the Celestial Master's Temple with me."

"The Celestial Master's Office?" Yun Gu's eyes showed a moment of confusion, then she squatted on the ground and shook her head frantically: "I won't go, I won't go, the Celestial Master's Office raises evil spirits, I won't go."
