This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 412: Chapter 286: This Wang actually married a ghost? _2

The underworld soldier took out a register and said, “Since you are from another place, sign your name, cause of death, age, and ability.”

Ghost Daoist asked puzzled, “Why do we need to sign this?”

With a glare, the underworld soldier snapped, “Just sign if I tell you to! If you don’t want to, get the hell out! There are at least 8,000 to 10,000 ghosts visiting our Xi Xia Ghost Market tonight, we don’t need you!”

“Damn!”

Wang Kui was about to draw his gun, but was stopped by the Ghost Daoist, who said, “We’ll sign.”

He wrote “Xu” followed by “Qing.”

This “Xu” was, of course, derived from his surname, while “Qing” was from Master Qingxu’s name.

As for “origin,” Xu Zhiyuan wrote Western Frontier.

Other ghosts, following suit, also wrote “Western Frontier.”

Glancing at the ghosts, the underworld soldier was surprised and said, “You don’t seem to look like ghosts from the Western Frontier…”

While speaking, he tore a few slips from a small booklet and handed them to the ghosts, saying, “Take these slips and go to Xu’s General Store. Report to our Miss. She’ll arrange accommodations for you… of course, you have to go through the haunted house first.”

“Haunted House?”

Xu Zhiyuan paused, puzzled, “What Haunted House?”

He had been living in Wu City for 18 years and had visited the Xi Xia Ghost Market frequently but had never heard of a haunted house in the market!

The underworld soldier, impatient, remarked, “You’re such a nuisance with your questions! Just go and see for yourself, won’t you?”

“Damn!”

Wang Kui was about to go ballistic again.

Xu Zhiyuan stopped Wang Kui with a look and chuckled, “Alright, let’s enter the Ghost Market first… I’ve heard about this haunted house. Many young people in the human world like to play thrilling games, but opening one in the Ghost Market… are any ghosts going to play?”

Leading his ghost subordinates, he swaggered into the Ghost Market.

Both sides of the streets in the Ghost Market were lined with neat, clean stalls. Each coffin had a lit candle and a human head lantern on it, keeping the stalls brightly lit at all times.

Xu Zhiyuan saw a ghost hiding in the shadows behind a stall, only to be caught and beaten up by the patrolling underworld soldiers.

There were several billboards on the Ghost Market streets.

Messages such as “Humans and Ghosts are One Family,” “Xi Xia Ghost Market, Giving You a Stable Home,” and “Once You’re in Xi Xia Ghost Market, We’re All Family” were written on them. Banners with similar slogans were also hung in the air above the streets.

Many martial world adventurers casually squatted in front of the ghosts’ stalls, haggling and trading goods.

There was even a martial world adventurer holding the hand of a female ghost, calling her “Baby” and swearing that he would “redeem” her from the brothel.

Xu Zhiyuan was dumbfounded.

He suspected that he hadn’t been dead for four years, but four hundred.

Stopping a passing ghost, Xu Zhiyuan asked, “Excuse me, brother, where is Xu’s General Store?”

The ghost he stopped was headless.

With a hollow neck and bared chest, the ghost had eyes for nipples and a navel for a mouth. It said, “Follow this street all the way down, and the busiest store is the one.”

Xu Zhiyuan immediately led his ghost subordinates forward, saying, “Once we get there, don’t be rash… The Xi Xia Ghost Market is a bit strange nowadays. And I’ve never heard of the Miss before. It’s completely different from four years ago, and I can’t see through it!”

When they arrived at the entrance of Xu’s General Store, they saw that business was booming with ghosts coming and going non-stop.

Xu Zhiyuan and his ghost subordinates exchanged glances and stepped inside.

“Welcome!”

Several pretty female ghosts stood at the entrance of the store.

Upon entering the store, they were greeted by a dazzling array of goods.

A female ghost came up to them and asked, “Hello, sir, what can I help you with?”

These female ghosts were specially hired and trained by Liu Shishi and Yue Qiluo. Some of them used to work in the service industry when they were alive, and their performance was perfect.

Xu Zhiyuan took out the paper slip and said, “We’ve come from the outside and want to discuss something with Miss.”

That female ghost replied, “Miss is on the third floor discussing business with someone… Since you are from the outside world, you must be planning to settle in our Xi Xia Ghost Market, right? Turn right as you leave and go forward, and you’ll find the Haunted House. After you pass through the Haunted House, someone will arrange everything for you.”

Xu Zhiyuan curiously asked, “Do ghosts from outside really want to settle in the Xi Xia Ghost Market?”

Of course!”

The female ghost proudly replied, “Our Xi Xia Ghost Market is the safest. Plus, once you get through the Haunted House, you could receive billions or even trillions of dollars in bonuses. There’s no ghost that doesn’t want to stay in our Xi Xia Ghost Market.”

After contemplating for a few seconds, Xu Zhiyuan asked, “I have some brothers who also want to settle in the Xi Xia Ghost Market… Can you arrange that for us?”

The female ghost replied, “We welcome everyone!”

Xu Zhiyuan thought for a few more seconds, then said, “To be honest… I have quite a few brothers.”

The female ghost asked curiously, “How many?”

Xu Zhiyuan held up a finger and said.

“A hundred?”

The female ghost reassured him, “Don’t worry, even if you had a thousand ghosts, our Xi Xia Ghost Market could arrange it all.”

“Not a hundred,”

Xu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, “A hundred thousand.”

The female ghost: “…”

There was silence for a moment.

After a full ten seconds, the female ghost finally reacted.

As an “employee” of the general store,

She knew some secrets that ordinary ghosts didn’t…
