The male supporting character was actually myself.

“Since it’s because he ate too much ghost food, causing too much yin energy to enter his body, then I have no way to expel it.” Wang Baoyi stood up, cupped his hands, and said helplessly, “Fortunately, it’s not too serious. Mr. Murong should be fine after a few days.”

There are no signs of any vengeful ghosts passing by the villa, and your friend's death is unrelated to any spirits. If Mr. Murong has no further instructions, I must take my leave with the children. Please excuse the busy affairs within the valley.”

Murong Liangchen harbored suspicions about him and naturally did not want to stay any longer, but considering that he still needed them to conceal the impersonation, he could only make a few polite promises and thank them handsomely.

Both sides finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Murong Liangchen felt that spending money to keep quiet was acceptable, but if Wang Baoyi released ghosts to scare him again, he would have other Taoist masters completely resolve the situation to eliminate future troubles.

Wang Baoyi knew that his act of arbitrarily disposing of the ghost without following the proper procedures had not been exposed. At most, this guy was just feeling guilty and was so frightened that he was hallucinating. Now that he had been invaded by strong yin energy, it would take him a lot of pain to recover.

Furthermore, since he had learned the inside story of the murder and the cover-up, he could find an excuse to get money whenever he was short of cash, which made him very pleased with himself.

After Wang Baoyi and the others left, Murong Liangchen immediately ordered his steward to send people to search for other celestial masters and invite them over at any cost!

"Meow~" The fluffy ball covered its nose and went forward to take a look at the protagonist who was on the verge of death. It meowed happily, "I don't know how my host tortured this guy, but the effect is great. His aura is weakening!"

How are things going with Duan Tang and the others? When are they coming over to join in the charade? Meow's waiting to see the show...

On the high-speed train from Yucheng to Dujiang City, Duan Tang sat solemnly with two fellow disciples in their seats.

The commission received by Lingyin Pavilion was located in Dujiang, but the actual headquarters of Lingyin Pavilion was in Yucheng, which was not far away. When they set off, apart from the eldest senior brother Wang, who acted as the possessor as usual, the others went with them to the underworld of Dujiang to find a female ghost named Yu Xian.

After the incident, they received help from a benefactor and returned from the underworld, splitting into two groups.

They traveled all the way to the City God Temple to report the matter to the City God;

The other team immediately rushed to the client's residence, but only found Senior Brother Wang's body there; the rest of the people had disappeared.

After reporting the incident to the relevant authorities, an investigation revealed that all the information provided by the other party was false.

Senior Brother Wang died from a single stab wound. It must have been done cleanly and swiftly when the possessing spirit was weak, leaving no trace of investigation.

Yu Xian's biological parents were found, but they didn't provide any useful clues.

The other party suddenly came to their door, gave them a large sum of money, and said that they needed to summon the spirit of their daughter who had died young. The couple, who were already biased towards sons and blinded by greed, never expected that summoning the spirit of their daughter who had died young and had not received any dowry would be worth so much money. They immediately accepted the money and followed the other party's arrangements and words to deceive the Taoist priests of Lingyin Pavilion.

The tens of thousands of yuan given were all in cash, and most of it was squandered by their son. The trail went cold.

Duan Tang and others provided the other party's physical characteristics and accent, but the relevant departments eventually found out that it was just a false appearance created by using a high-level ghost mask, and the investigation in the human world was in trouble.

There was still no news from the City God, so Duan Tang and the others had no choice but to take Senior Brother Wang's remains back to Yucheng for burial. At this time, they had just finished the funeral and returned to Dujiang.

In order to avenge their senior brother Wang and to help their savior Murong Jiangchen carry out his plan, they need to infiltrate the organization as soon as possible and make contact with the imposter Murong Liangchen!

Chapter Thirty-Three That's a great place

Torture?

Murong Liangchen was stunned for a few seconds before his mind, which was finally clearing up, was flooded with memories like movie clips.

Villas, luxury cars, beautiful female ghosts, and delicious food from the underworld...

“I went to the underworld last night.” Murong Liangchen recalled the dreamlike experience and a slightly eerie smile appeared on his lips. “It was truly a wonderful place! Master Wang, can I prepare for the ritual now? I want to help the departed souls pass on and accumulate good karma as soon as possible.”

Wang Baoyi was taken aback. The underworld was a good place?!

How the hell did you come to that conclusion? The underworld is a typical place where the strong prey on the weak, and ghosts are eaten without even spitting out the bones!

Someone like you, who impersonates another person and dies without even a proper tombstone or offerings, will likely end up as a lonely ghost in the wilderness, with no relatives or friends in the human world to burn paper money for you.

In the human realm, one might be able to commit murder undetected, but in the underworld, even minor acts like devouring ghosts don't significantly help reverse the situation; serious cases will result in being directly expelled by the laws and banished to the Netherworld.

Once you get there, you'll truly be condemned to eternal damnation!

After all, the eighteen levels of hell are merely places for suffering and atonement. Once atonement is complete, there's a possibility of being sent back to the ghost market. But if one were to enter the underworld...

“It’s not enough to just pay money to hold a religious ceremony. Mr. Murong must be present and participate in the entire process.” He explained with a furrowed brow, “Given your current physical condition, you simply cannot endure it. Spending money will be of no use and will not help you offset the good karma accumulated from your sins.”

Mr. Murong, could you please tell me the details of your itinerary and experiences last night?

Your condition is very serious; if you don't find a way to expel it, you may become seriously ill!

He recalled what Murong Jiangchen had said when he tried to stop him from eating ghost food, and thought to himself that he had indeed lost control of his appetite. It seemed that he had too much yin energy in his body.

"Can Master Wang help me expel the yin energy?" Murong Liangchen smiled, but the smile on his sallow face and sunken cheeks looked sinister.

Faced with his sugar daddy, Wang Baoyi could only patiently explain, "I need to know the specific reason why your body was invaded by yin energy before I can know whether it can be cured. What exactly happened to you?"

"It's nothing, it's just..." Murong Liangchen thought carefully and felt that he couldn't reveal the truth about Murong Jiangchen's request for peace, otherwise wouldn't that pretentious bastard give up and leave him with no leverage?

Thinking of this, he forced a smile and lowered his voice, saying, "The underworld messenger said I was lucky enough to experience a day trip to the underworld, so he took me for a walk around there. The messenger was quite easy to talk to, so I promised him a lot of money by burning paper money. He treated me to good food and drink there, and didn't do anything else."

Delicious food and drinks?!

The information provided by the other party left Wang Baoyi somewhat bewildered.

The idea of ​​a day trip to the underworld does exist, but the underworld officials usually take people to places like the eighteen levels of hell for educational purposes. How could they eat and drink there? Do you really think it's a vacation?

However, if a large sum of money is promised...

He wasn't sure if it would work, but if he ate too much ghost food, the yin energy would definitely enter his body and he wouldn't be able to use external force to expel it. He could only slowly consume it with his own yang energy, and he would inevitably fall seriously ill.

He wondered if the soul-collecting underworld official had secretly accepted bribes from Murong Jiangchen and deliberately tricked him into eating and drinking. But since this matter was none of his concern, and Murong Liangchen seemed quite pleased with himself, he decided not to enlighten him to avoid causing any further trouble.

“Since it’s because he ate too much ghost food, causing too much yin energy to enter his body, then I have no way to expel it.” Wang Baoyi stood up, cupped his hands, and said helplessly, “Fortunately, it’s not too serious. Mr. Murong should be fine after a few days.”

Chapter Thirty-Four: So You Missed Me

The villa was quiet after the Celestial Masters left.

After being bathed with the help of several maids, Murong Liangchen lay on the clean and brand-new bed, staring at the ceiling, but the images of the six beautiful female ghosts and their delicate voices kept flashing through his mind.

Strangely enough, he had participated in similar group activities before, but the difference in experience was like night and day.

Even if there were only four, let alone six, he would only be able to remember one or two of them afterward. Either they had a nice voice and were very open, or they had exceptional skills that left a lasting impression.

The six female ghost ladies that Murong Jiangchen brought last night had all captivated him, making him want to steal his soul away and never return! As he savored the beauty of these charming and unique women, he became more and more restless. Perhaps it was the hot bath and the afternoon sunshine that had made him feel comfortable, but Murong Liangchen felt that his body was not so stiff anymore.

Remembering that his wife said last night that she was too busy to contact him these past two days, he got carried away and called over the girls he was keeping, even having prepared an excuse that he was feeling unwell and asked the "nurses" to come and check him out.

All the servants, bodyguards, and even the butler wanted to quit and leave; they didn't care what the master wanted to do.

Besides, given his sickly appearance and seemingly dying at any moment, most people wouldn't expect him to have such thoughts. Therefore, even though the housekeeper didn't seem very professional, he didn't stop them and let them go upstairs after verifying their information.

The little white cat was stunned by the protagonist's amazing skills. "My goodness, are you really courting death? You're completely bewitched, aren't you? I'm really curious what kind of bewitching drug my host gave you, that you're still going at it even in this state?"

"Of course, I'm bewitched by a beauty. I arranged this on purpose, and it seems to be working quite well..." The host's voice suddenly rang out, and the fluffy little ball perked up, looked around, and excitedly pounced on him, "Host, what brings you here?!"

A loose cloud of black mist coalesced into the shape of Jiang Chen, who was wearing a casual suit and leaning against the table.

As night fell, the sky outside the window turned gloomy. On the open balcony, the night breeze blew the white gauze curtains, adding a touch of eeriness to the room.

The little white cat snuggled and rolled around in its host's arms, purring strangely, "Host, did you pay for this? Didn't they say ghosts can't return to the human world? It's so strange, that eerie aura around you is gone!"

"I made a deal with a lovely little Taoist priestess, and now I am her contracted spirit."

Jiang Chen was in a good mood because it was the first time he could sit openly opposite the protagonist, petting cats and chatting without worrying about being discovered. "After signing the contract, I will be a ghost in a special organization recognized by the Heavenly Dao. I can freely travel between the Yin and Yang realms. After arriving in the human world, I will automatically restrain my Yin energy so as not to cause any impact or trouble to other Heavenly Masters."

In other words, as long as Wang Baoyi doesn't catch me red-handed, I can manipulate Murong Liangchen completely!

The fluffy little ball was so excited it almost jumped for joy, twitching its ears and meowing, "That's great, meow! With my host by my side, I feel so safe! Host, I love you, muah~"

"Don't be so cutesy yet. Are those his mistresses taking a bath inside? Go take a picture!" Jiang Chen patted its round little bottom and reminded it, "Remember to disguise it as a selfie. We need to give Jiang Yulu, who's been cheated on, a big gift."

"Okay, meow!" The little white cat, who had already prepared the video camera, hopped into the noisy, flowing bathroom and started filming.

As the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth group of women kept by super-rich men, these young and beautiful girls are very self-aware.

Men will always love 18-year-olds, and women are like clothes—who would complain about having too many clothes in their wardrobe?

Murong Jiangchen is young and energetic, and it's normal for his workaholic wife to have needs since she's not home every day. As long as the money is right, the more he can keep, the better. He doesn't have to serve her every day and he still gets paid. Who wouldn't be happy?

Anyway, there's no chance of her becoming the official wife. It's okay to occasionally compete for favor, act cute, and ask for some extra benefits, but if anyone still shows jealousy or rivalry in such a big event, they're just a fool!

There are plenty of pretty girls in the world. No one can stay eighteen forever, but there will always be someone who is eighteen. The real thing is to make as much money as possible while your sugar daddy is still around and then try to get pregnant with his child.

After taking a bath and changing into the clothes Murong Liangchen had requested, the women came out one by one to pay their respects, then began dancing before climbing into the comfortable bed...

"Wow, that's amazing! Host, what do you think Jiang Yulu will do when she sees this video..." Before the little white cat could finish speaking, it saw its host, who was standing on the balcony, dissipate into a cloud of black mist and disappear.
