The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 148: Meet the Fat Ghost Official Again in the Mall

During his occasional break, Xia Yu sneaked to the entrance of the ghost lady’s shopping mall.

As soon as he entered the door and saw the young and beautiful female boss behind the counter, Xia Yu finally believed that her medicine was effective.

The God of the Underworld, who is hundreds of thousands of years old, has a young body and a beautiful face, and there is really no sense of incongruity.

What "ghost grandma"? It's not an exaggeration to call her "ghost sister", right?
Xia Yu pretended to be aloof and walked into the ghost lady's mall. He took a look around and got a general understanding of the things sold there and their effects.

The ghost grandma was busy introducing her new invention to a wealthy ghost official and had no time to pay attention to Xia Yu for the time being.

The fairy world, the demon world, the underworld, etc., all still maintain the tradition of wearing ancient costumes. Xia Yu was wearing Yan Lan's favorite black long skirt at this time.

Looking at the prices of the items on the shelves, Xia Yu touched her thin waist bag.

She thought she wouldn't have to spend much money in the underworld, so she showed mercy when stealing the incense money from the God of Land.

However, she counted the paper money she had on her and found that she couldn't even afford the cheapest medicine on the shelf.

"your Highness?"

The fat ghost official from [The Place of Rebirth] saw Xia Yu as soon as he entered the mall and walked towards her with a grin on his face.

The trainee official Wang Er had to take over the shift, so the fat official finally had time to wander around the mall.

By the way, this fat ghost official has always had a good impression of Yan Lan, but he just didn't have the time and opportunity to express himself.

In Xia Yu's memory, she had seen the fat ghost official when she was reincarnated in her previous life. At that time, he personally sent her to reincarnate into the plant - gardenia.

Logically, Xia Yu should say hello to the fat ghost official after not seeing him for a long time. But if it was Yan Lan, she would not even bother to look at him.

"Princess?"

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't look at him directly, the fat ghost official immediately called out with a smile on his face.

Xia Yu continued to look at her things and ignored the fat ghost official.

However, the fat ghost official did not give up. He circled around Xia Yu and said, "Princess, what do you want to buy?"

The fat ghost official thought that Xia Yu would choose "perfume" or something like that, so he took the initiative to help her pick out a few bottles and brought them over, but he saw that she was seriously selecting those "medicines that can make people beautiful".

"Princess..." The fat ghost official reluctantly put down the bottles of perfume in his hand, came close to Xia Yu, and asked with a smile: "You are young and beautiful now, why do you need to buy this kind of medicine? You don't need it!"

"I like it." Xia Yu replied with three words in a seemingly cold manner.

The fat ghost official was very happy and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, as long as the princess likes it."

In order to show off in front of Xia Yu, the fat ghost official spread his hands and produced several thick stacks of ghost money, and said generously: "If the princess likes it, just choose a few bottles, and I will pay for it for the princess."

That's great!
She was worried about her empty wallet and couldn't even afford a bottle of medicine!
"Okay!" Xia Yu suddenly smiled at the fat ghost official and said, "Thank you very much."

Where had the fat ghost official ever seen Yan Lan smile at him?

Her smile made him so happy that he almost flew with joy!

Xia Yu really picked up five or six bottles of medicine and handed them to the fat ghost official, then went to the mall entrance to wait for him in advance.

……

Seeing Xia Yu come in and go out, without coming to find her or saying hello to her, the ghost grandma became suspicious.

It seems that the "face-exchanging" medicine that Yan Lan bought last time has been used.

I heard that the princess was somewhat happy with the punishment she received these two days. She worked hard and was very serious.

Who is she and why does she take so much trouble to help Meng Po?
"Granny, pay the bill."

The fat ghost official held six bottles of medicine and placed them on the counter. He threw down his money generously and said, "I want all these bottles."

The ghost lady took away five bottles of medicine without saying a word, and then took the money for one bottle of medicine from the fat ghost official, and said with a smile: "Sorry, each ghost is limited to one bottle of this medicine."

...Xia Yu waited at the door for a long time, but the fat official only came out with a bottle of medicine.

"Isn't it six bottles?" Xia Yu asked.

The fat ghost official looked innocent and explained, "Princess, it's not that I'm stingy. The ghost lady said that each ghost is limited to one bottle of this medicine. She only sold me one bottle, and I had no choice!"

What kind of broken rule is this? Why not make money when you have it?

"Ahem..." Xia Yu coughed twice awkwardly and stretched out his hand to the fat ghost official.

The fat ghost official handed the bottle of medicine in his hand to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu put away the bottle of medicine, he reached out to him again.

Didn’t you say you only bought one bottle of medicine?
What are you trying to do by reaching out again?
Is it...

The fat ghost official suddenly blushed, turned away shyly, and silently stretched out a hand to hold Xia Yu's hand.

! !
"are you crazy?"

Xia Yu hurriedly shook off the fat ghost official's hand, and immediately looked displeased.

"Princess, calm down... I was wrong!"

The fat ghost official quickly apologized, but he still felt a little aggrieved, so he asked weakly, "Then what does the princess want when she reaches out her hand?"

"Give me the money and I'll buy another bottle." Xia Yu said shamelessly.

Want money?

As the princess of the underworld, isn’t she the richest ghost in the underworld except for the King of Hell?
She...actually asked him for money?

Or... did she just want to see if he was willing to spend money on her?

Although the fat ghost official was puzzled, he still obediently handed over the remaining money to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu took the remaining stacks of money and walked into the mall again. This time he went straight to the ghost lady's counter. The five bottles of medicine that the fat ghost official failed to buy were still on her counter.

"I'll buy a bottle of this medicine."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he counted and put the money for a bottle of medicine in front of the ghost woman.

The ghost grandmother did not reach out to take Xia Yu's money. Instead, she took five bottles of medicine from the counter and explained, "Princess, this medicine is suitable for gods over 300,000 years old. You are now over 500 years old, so you cannot use this medicine."

Xia Yu got angry when he heard this and said bluntly: "You said that each ghost can only buy one bottle, why do you care whether I can use it or not? Just sell it to me directly."

The ghost grandma was not an easy-going Hades. Seeing Xia Yu's attitude, she immediately smiled and said, "Sorry, Princess. If you are under the age limit, taking this medicine will be life-threatening. I can't sell it to you."

After a while, the fat ghost official saw Xia Yu still coming out with the stacks of money.

"Princess? How is it? Did you buy it?" the fat ghost official asked with concern.

Xia Yu returned the stacks of money in his hand to the fat ghost official and turned away.

"Hey...Princess, wait for me, I have to go to work too, so we can go together!"

The fat ghost official chased Xia Yu all the way, and he had forgotten the purpose of coming to the Ghost Grandma Mall.

"Princess, Princess..." The fat ghost official caught up with Xia Yu and called her twice.

Xia Yu had accepted someone else's gift after all, so he couldn't keep his face cold and replied, "Speak."

The fat ghost official looked at Xia Yu, not knowing what he was grinning about, and said slowly: "Do you feel that you have become much gentler in the past two days..."

"Huh?" Xia Yu was stunned, thinking: Am I not trying my best to play the role of Yan Lan? Was I discovered?

The fat ghost official smiled and said, "At least... you don't have the 'ghost whip' wielding at all times."
