The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Of course they're related!" Jiang Chen, who was searching for information on his phone, said seriously, "First, evil spirits come out from the gap between the underworld and the human world."

The Celestial Masters Sect is only interested in amassing wealth and selectively eliminates evil spirits.

If I don't get rid of those evil spirits that no one wants to deal with, the yin energy around us will become heavier and heavier, and Jin Nian will be affected and become even more difficult to control.

Secondly, I need to practice the skill of exorcising evil spirits, so that even if the situation gets out of control in the future, at least I will be able to protect you.

Third, if we want Jin Nian to stay quiet and not cause trouble, we must provide her with good living conditions.

We must strive to corrupt an evil spirit with a life of luxury!

Think about it, back then, she was captured and suppressed as soon as she crossed over from the underworld. In reality, Jin Nian knew nothing about the beauty of our human world.

Only by taking her to experience, understand, and enjoy can we change her mind from the heart, right?

Surely a good life can't be like this now, right?

Besides, you've suffered a lot these past years, and I've completely figured it out; I'm going to make it up to you many times over!

"Ah..." Yuan Xuefei rubbed her face, feeling that what her brother said made sense.

But something still seems a little strange?

Jiang Chen continued to use his brainwashing skills, "Look, my exorcism of evil spirits can improve the problem of yin energy invasion in Ningzhou City;

It can hone your skills and increase your combat experience, and you might even break through in battle;

It can also make money to corrupt the evil spirit Jin Nian with a life of luxury; it can also allow you to live a more comfortable life;

In the future, when I have the money to buy more advanced magical artifacts, I will be safer.

This is a win-win situation, don't you think?

Yuan Xuefei's confused gaze gradually hardened, and she clenched her fist and waved it, "Brother did the right thing, keep it up! I support you!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, another kid has been fooled!" Xiao Bai squatted down with his hands in his pockets, and couldn't help but shake his head. "Host, I'm really curious what you did in your previous life?"

Could he really be a high-level talent from the strategic deception department?

Watching Yuan Xuefei humming a song as she went to her room to pack her luggage, Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Heh... what do you know, you little kitten?"

Can this be called deception?

I was clearly trying to reason with them and appeal to their emotions!

Tell me, which of the points I just made is not reasonable?

Even as a system, you, Xiaobai, are so addicted to games that you can't break free.

Do you think Jin Nian, who comes from a dark, dirty, and desolate place like the Underworld, can resist the corrosive influence of a luxurious lifestyle?

The Celestial Masters Sect's suppression of her by force is merely a temporary solution.

"I don't even need to suppress Jin Nian; I can completely defeat her from the inside out!"

Little White licked its paws and blinked its deep blue eyes, carefully pondering what its host had said.

After a moment, it nodded in agreement, “Host is right, this is called subduing the evil spirit Jin Nian without firing a single shot – outsmarting him!”

Back in her room, Yuan Xuefei absentmindedly packed her things.

She was torn between telling her brother about it.

Meanwhile, Jin Nian was already curled up in the dark, cramped space, fast asleep, having some wonderful dream. A wicked smile appeared on her lips.

The moving process in the afternoon was super easy.

The brother and sister had lived a frugal life for the past few years. Apart from books, some photos, and souvenirs left by the Yuan couple, Jiang Chen glanced at them and threw them all away.

After all, those clothes and shoes had been worn for several years and were faded from washing.

Many daily necessities come from unlicensed and substandard products sold at street stalls.

Some of the pots and pans were even chipped, but they couldn't bear to replace them with new ones; there was really no need to take them with them.

Yuan Xuefei, who was always frugal and thrifty, couldn't persuade her brother otherwise, so she reluctantly went through her packed luggage again.

In the end, the brother and sister each took a suitcase and a taxi to their new home—Guanjing Lanyuan, a high-end residential community in a key school district in the city center.

"What a big and beautiful house!" Yuan Xuefei couldn't help but exclaim as she pushed open the door to the understated yet luxurious apartment.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. However, this sensible and considerate little girl always tries to adapt and be positive no matter what environment she is in.

Since moving out of that villa and saying goodbye to her comfortable life, she has tried to do whatever she can.

However, years of suppressing evil spirits have made Yuan Xuefei physically weak, so she can't expect too much.

She never imagined she would live in a luxurious house again, so she was afraid of accidentally damaging the decorations in the rented house, and she was very careful and gentle when putting her luggage down.

Chapter Nine: The Evil Spirit Girl Doesn't Need Anti-Addiction Measures

"What a fantastic house!" Xiaobai excitedly jumped onto the big, comfortable sofa, curled up in the warm sunshine, and squinted happily. "More than three million? This house is really cheap!"

While Yuan Xuefei went to the bedroom to put away her luggage, Jiang Chen whispered, "Three and a half million was just the price when they bought this house."

The renovation costs and the price increases over the past two years were not factored in.

The exquisite decorations, appliances, and furniture alone must have cost at least two million.

The little white cat was surprised for a few seconds, then showed an "I understand" expression on its face. "I understand, I understand, it's all to curry favor with the host!"

Anyway, they're not short of money or the house; being able to connect with a powerful Taoist master is a worthwhile investment.

"Brother, the view here is amazing! We can even see our classroom!" Yuan Xuefei exclaimed excitedly.

Entering the first room on the right side of the living room, the combination of light beige, white, and light gray creates a warm and refreshing atmosphere.

Looking out through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the lake, the park, and the bustling streets.

After leaving the residential area and crossing a road, they found their school, Ningzhou No. 1 Middle School, right across the street. Following his memory of the school building, Jiang Chen quickly pointed it out, "Class 4 of Grade 1, the westernmost one on the third floor."

"Mmm! My brother's classroom is the second one from the left on the first floor of that school building, near the stairwell. Haha! When you guys go to your tutoring class, I can see you from home!" Yuan Xuefei nodded excitedly, pointing to a commercial building on the far left. "What a wide view! I can even see Ginza!"

Jiang Chen looked down, ruffled her slightly fluffy silver hair, and laughed, "Hurry up and get ready, we still have a lot of things to buy."

Large apartments are basically move-in ready, but you still need to add a lot of odds and ends.

So, while enduring his thrifty younger sister's constant nagging about how "it's too expensive," he explored every corner of Ginza.

From clothes and shoes to pots and pans, and then to mobile phones, computers, skin care products, ingredients, and so on, I bought two large shopping carts before I stopped.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered the house carrying large and small bags, she heard Jin Nian's distinctive voice, "Um... is it convenient for me to go out now?"

He gave his sister a look in response and said, "Of course, we've prepared a lot of things for you. Take a look and see if you like them."

A black shadow floated out from Yuan Xuefei.

Jin Nian, barefoot, carefully stepped on the ground, curiously looking around. "Emmmm... I only remember being suppressed a few days after arriving in the human world."

My impression of the human world was that it was terrible, but now it looks like a completely new world!

Is such a big house very expensive?

Do you earn enough money to live on?

"What? You're planning to pay me back?" Jiang Chen teased as he took things out of his bags. "Just kidding. I've earned enough for us to live on for a while."

I know you don't have any money, so I'll let you owe me for now.

Anyway, so many years have passed, a little more won't make a difference.

Come over and try these clothes on to see if they fit. Feifei helped you try them on, and I think you should be able to wear them.

He looked at Jin Nian, who was slightly taller and fuller-figured than his sister, and asked curiously, "Should I burn it for you?"

“No need for that.” Jin Nian gently looked through the various clothes and explained, “Unlike other spirits, I can materialize.”

As she spoke, she shook her head and put away her little horn and tail.

Its body gradually solidified, and apart from its excessively white skin, it was no different from a human.

"Oh dear, if only all spirits were as pleasing to the eye as her." Xiao Bai hugged the tablet computer her host had bought for her tightly and sighed as she stared at the aloof Jin Nian. "Other spirits are just too unrefined."

They don't even bother to take care of themselves.

Host, do you think it's very profitable to run a plastic surgery business in the Underworld?

Uh... that doesn't seem to work. Spirits use ghost money, so even if we earn it, we can't spend it..."

Yuan Xuefei stepped forward and poked her slightly bony arm, exclaiming in surprise, "Brother! It's real, it's still warm!"

Jin Nian: ?_?...

“I told you I’m different from other spirits.” She smoothed her long, straight black hair, curiously poked the soft sofa, then carefully sat down and bounced a couple of times. A look of surprise immediately appeared on her face. “What is this? Can I sleep here? It must be so comfortable!”

Yuan Xuefei secretly gave her brother a thumbs up; this trick really worked!

A sofa was enough to attract Jin Nian, and there are many more good things to come, so she's sure to fall for it!

“That’s called a sofa. You can sit down, rest, chat, and watch TV.” Jiang Chen waved his hand. “We’ve prepared your own room. You can sleep in a big, comfortable bed at night.”

Jin Nian, carrying a pile of new clothes and shoe boxes, happily followed them to the first bedroom on the right side of the living room.

The decor remains warm and simple, but this room has a television.

Jiang Chen specially chose the room for her.

With television, computer, and mobile phone in hand, I'm sure the evil spirit Jin Nian won't become addicted!

I'll have to install a camera in this room another day.

Of course, it wasn't to see things we shouldn't see, but rather to monitor Jin Nian's movements at all times!

If all goes well, it might even record the evil spirit Jin Nian's path to depravity in the human world.

As expected, Jin Nian was both wary and curious about everything.

Watching Yuan Xuefei open the wardrobe and hang up her clothes was a novel experience for her. After looking around silently, her gaze fell on the remote control on the bedside table.

She carefully picked it up to examine it, then licked it and found it tasteless. She then began to gently press the raised buttons with her slender, fair, and long fingers.

Jiang Chen leaned against the doorway, observing coldly.

Let's see if this particular evil spirit is just putting on an act.

"It just won't stop..."
