Chapter 1297: Lending Frenzy
nt, but at least she had her fine sea salt. The chief and shaman trusted her very much, so that small beast skin bag of salt, made from most of a sack of coarse sea salt, was quite valuable.After thi...Pan Chen was a little surprised that Lian Yi would take the initiative to help him. He thought that because he had defended Lu You, this person who disliked him might not be willing to help, but he didn't expect her to actually step in.
Ripples instantly saw through Pan Chen's confusion. She fastened her seatbelt and then spoke:
"Mr. Pan, I've said it before, we just have different viewpoints. I'm not questioning your character, I just don't like the way you handle things. Besides, you were careful and thorough this time, I have no reason not to help."
Thank you, Ms. Chou, for your recognition.
Pan Chen felt much better after hearing this. At least Miss Chou was willing to be straightforward with him, unlike some people who wore masks, saying one thing to his face and another behind his back, stabbing him in the back sometimes, leaving him feeling helpless. It was after he had suffered losses that he became increasingly cautious.
"First, take me back home. Tomorrow, you can come pick up my friend."
"Okay, thank you Miss Chou."
After Pan Chen sent the ripples back to where she was staying, he drove away. Perhaps he could chat with the investigating officer.
Ripple returned to her rented place and pulled Whirlwind, who was playing with Doudou, out of the space.
Feng only felt a flower in front of his eyes, and the place changed. He wasn't alarmed; this must be his master summoning him.
The whirlwind appeared on the sofa, first stretching languidly and then greeting Ripples.
"Master, you haven't let me out for ages!"
Last time, I had Doudou’s help, so I didn't let you out. Besides, appearing suddenly on the demon clan’s territory wouldn't be easy to explain.
Ripples smiled and stroked a handful of her whirlwind black silk fur, opening up to explain.
"Master, it seems this plane suits me better."
The whirlwind wagged its tail and said.
"Go and see for yourself!"
Ripples patting the head of the whirlwind said.
The whirlwind lightly leaped down from the sofa and with a few more leaps, jumped onto the windowsill. A pair of cat eyes in the sunlight shone like crystal-clear amber stones. He watched the world outside for a long time before jumping back into Ripples' arms.
"Master, what happened here Why are humans and ghosts living together Is this world going to develop towards the ghost realm"
The hurricane evolved from Xuanmao, and after becoming a demon cultivator, his skills didn't diminish but rather improved. As a result, his pair of eyes could rival the yin-yang eyes of its original form, allowing him to see very clearly, which only deepened his confusion.
"You're seeing correctly, there are indeed some problems here. The Ghost Gate has been blocked, and these deceased souls have nowhere to go. They can only wander in the human world, and over time, it will definitely cause trouble."
I have come to this place in this physical body to solve this problem, to find the sealed Ghost Gate, so that the soul collectors can complete their duty and bring clarity to the human world.
Ripple did not conceal anything and told Whirlwind the details of this mission.
After thinking for a moment, Fenghuang said:
"Master, I'll go inquire with the local animals tonight first, then sense the aura of the Ghost Gate."
"You go scout first. As for the ghostly aura, I haven't sensed anything since I arrived in this plane. It's well hidden. I can't take the initiative, I can only take it one step at a time."
But I think the body I'm borrowing is somehow involved, so I'll wait and see. Things should take a turn for the better soon."
Ripple, while spinning wildly, explained.
"The tornado understood."
"Tomorrow, I'm going to lend you out for a day to help a lawyer. There's a case involving animal abuse, and you should take a look. Consider it doing some good deeds. After the animals' souls are repaired, bring them back. I'll put them in the space first so they don't wander around outside."
The ripples gave a brief explanation.
"Understood! The valley the master had carved out alone in the space before is where those souls are kept."
"Well, it's only temporary. The longer they wander, the faster they dissipate. If they don't want to disappear, they have to keep devouring other ghosts. That way, they'll grow into vengeful spirits, who can harm living people. That's why I came up with this expedient."
Even the ripples are helpless.
"The owner is kindhearted."
Xuan Feng squinted his eyes, exaggerating the ripples. Beside him, Shi Ju rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that Xuan Feng misunderstood Ripples. However, he thought about it later, Xuan Feng was still raised by Ripples and was given this kind of fate, so naturally he would be inclined towards his own master, so he didn't say anything.
The next day, Pan Chen waited downstairs half an hour early. He didn't go up rashly; he just sent a message and patiently waited. When Lian Yi saw it, she took Xinfeng down and gave him to Pan Chen.
"This is my cat, Whirlwind. He's different from other cats; he should be able to help you, and he's very intuitive. Just tell him what you need, he'll understand. I can only lend him to you for a day, remember to return him tomorrow."
"Oh! Yes, thank you, Miss Chou."
Pan Chen hurriedly took the whirlwind and immediately thanked him.
After Feng was placed in the passenger seat, he let out a call and waved his claws at the ripples outside the window as a farewell. Then he turned to Pan Chen and called out to him, urging him to start the journey.
Pan Chen was amazed and immediately started his car towards Feng Yin's house. He had already made arrangements with the investigating officer yesterday, and they would cooperate on this case.
After the whirlwind left, Ripples noticed that all her neighbors were looking at her subtly, their eyes full of gossip.
Ripple ignored him and went back to his rented room. It was in the old part of town, a bit away from the city center, so the rent was cheaper.
Being thrifty by nature, she certainly wouldn't spend a lot of money on a house in the city center. She liked quiet and, because of the special nature of this world, didn't want to be the center of attention. So she wanted to rent a spacious yard in the suburbs. She changed into a dress and went to find a real estate agent.
That day, ripples was dragged by the enthusiastic real estate agent to see several farmhouses in the suburbs. However, ripples didn't feel satisfied with any of them. She thought about looking for a different real estate company tomorrow, because each company would surely have different property listings.
"Miss Chou, I still have a property here that can meet all your requirements. The rent is very affordable, and the owner is even willing to sell at a low price, but..."
The real estate agent really didn't want to lose this deal, so after much deliberation, he finally offered a property listing.
"This house just has problems."
Ripple turned her head and replied.
"Yes, but because the rumors are exaggerated, they don't seem very real."
The intermediary guy still laid the groundwork.
Just say it directly.
There is a rumor that the house is haunted.
After the intermediary finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Lian Yi's face, wanting to see her reaction.stand some of it, but not all."Nannan blinked her big, round eyes and said."Where don't you understand""It's that Fifth Prince.
