Chen Xi couldn't understand.
Seven years ago, the barrier between the mortal world and the Underworld shattered.
Countless ghosts came to the mortal world that night.
Chen Xi was one of those ghosts.
The stronger her powers, the less likely she would be able to come to the mortal world.
She couldn't fathom how someone like Mo Lin, who was of the Yin Department level, could bypass the barrier and appear in the mortal world.
These thoughts flashed through her mind, but she just wanted to escape quickly.
"Stop.."
Mo Lin reprimanded.
A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped Chen Xi.
Chen Xi's head levitated in the air, not daring to make any unnecessary moves.
She even felt that if she made any unnecessary movements, she would be scattered into a shattered soul in the next moment.
"Lord Mo Lin, have mercy." Chen Xi's first reaction was to beg for mercy.
"You recognize me?" Mo Lin asked quizzically.
"I am from your hometown; I'm a ghost from Yedou." Chen Xi began to cozy up to Mo Lin.
"Seven years ago, when you were a Ghost Messenger, I was fortunate enough to see you."
"I cheered for you when you fought ghosts from the Ghost Realm."
"I didn't expect you to be a part of the Yin Department now; congratulations on your promotion, Lord Mo Lin." Chen Xi promptly flattered Mo Lin.
"Please have mercy, my lord. I've been in the mortal world for a long time but never harmed anyone."
"Put on another face." Mo Lin looked at Chen Xi's face and felt inexplicably disgusted.
He had seen too many of these terrifying faces in the Underworld and disliked them.
He preferred beautiful things.
Chen Xi nodded and used Ghost Qi to restore her face.
A very delicate cheek appeared, looking quite pretty.
She grumbled miserably, thinking she had bad luck to encounter someone from the Yin Department.
"Tell me about the current situation in the mortal world." Mo Lin, having just returned to the mortal world, was unclear about many things.
Chen Xi explained slowly to Mo Lin.
Mo Lin then understood that the mortal world had become a place where humans and ghosts coexist.
Ghosts, to accumulate Ghost Qi, either signed contracts with humans or occupied places to train alone.
Many things had undergone tremendous changes.
Mo Lin suddenly thought about his family and wondered how they were doing in this environment.
"Don't be scared, I won't harm you." Mo Lin reassured Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was very excited and quickly thanked Mo Lin, "Thank you, my lord, for sparing my life."
After her words fell, Chen Xi prepared to leave.
"Although I won't kill you, I'm not letting you go either." Mo Lin added.
"What do you mean?" Just as Chen Xi was puzzled, Mo Lin's hand suddenly hovered over Chen Xi's head.
"Suppress.."
A suppressing character appeared on Chen Xi's forehead, then her head disappeared, and her body followed suit.
"Congratulations for acquiring the Ghost Skill: Ghost Eye."
A reminder suddenly popped into Mo Lin's mind.
This was the voice from the Ghost Suppression Book.
At that moment, a line of text appeared on the first page of the Ghost Suppression Book in Mo Lin's mind.
"Name: Chen Xi
Level: Dangerous Level
Skill: Ghost Eye
Netherworld Currency Output: 20 Yuan (daily)"
Note: The higher the level, the higher the Netherworld Currency output.
Mo Lin's eyes lit up, barely able to contain his excitement.
Netherworld Currency is highly valuable, formed by condensing Ghost Qi.
Ghosts or Yin Messengers absorb Ghost Qi, refine it, and transform it into Nether Qi, which is then converted into equivalent amounts of Netherworld Currency.
The higher the denomination of the Netherworld Currency, the more Ghost Qi it contains.
A Dangerous Level ghost can refine enough Nether Qi in a year to form a piece of Netherworld Currency with a face value of 20 yuan.
Moreover, Netherworld Currency has very important uses, such as improving a ghost's level or being required for appointing Yin Messengers.
Appointing to the Yin Department also requires Netherworld Currency.
Netherworld Currency is incredibly valuable in the Yin Realm.
Appointing to the Yin Department requires a million Netherworld Currency.
A million Netherworld Currency is equivalent to more than thirty years of savings in Yedou, demonstrating its importance.
Isn't this Ghost Suppression Book essentially a money-making machine?
As long as Mo Lin captures enough ghosts, he can earn Netherworld Currency without doing anything.
The higher the level the ghost is cultivated to, the more Netherworld Currency will be obtained.
A Dangerous Level ghost can produce 20 Netherworld Currency per day, and ten such ghosts can produce 200 per day.
A year amounts to more than sixty thousand Netherworld Currency.
Bear in mind that when Mo Lin worked as a Yin Messenger in the Underworld, his annual salary was less than 100 Netherworld Currency.
Moreover, Mo Lin also acquired a Ghost Skill.
Once the ghost is captured, the ghost's Ghost Skill can also be acquired.
This is truly worth celebrating.
For the first time, Mo Lin felt the strength of the Ghost Suppression Book.
"Let me out...."
Chen Xi now found herself in a wide-open space, surrounded by walls, and shouted into the distance.
But there was no response.
"Let me out... hey... here..."
Just as Chen Xi was about to call out again, she suddenly stopped.
She slightly raised her mouth, observing the surrounding space.
She discovered the Ghost Qi in this space was very dense, even denser than in the Underworld.
Ghost Qi is the source vital for a ghost's survival and an essential aspect of ghost cultivation.
In the mortal world, she had expended untold effort and time to accumulate even a little Ghost Qi.
Here, with just a slight breath, she could obtain more Ghost Qi than she could gather in a month outside.
At this moment, she realized she didn't want to escape anymore.
Staying here seemed pretty appealing.
At least she wouldn't have to worry about accumulating Ghost Qi.
For her, this wasn't hell; it was paradise!
The dream place for all ghosts.
Mo Lin raised his palm, and then a dark-colored book, the size of a regular book, appeared out of nowhere.
The cover of the book was emblazoned with three large characters, "Ghost Suppression Book."
Mo Lin opened the book and saw Chen Xi moving back and forth on its pages.
She appeared to exist in a two-dimensional space, like a paper figure.
Mo Lin shook the Ghost Suppression Book, and Chen Xi was shaken out of it, appearing in front of Mo Lin.
Chen Xi looked around fearfully and confusedly.
One moment she had been in a mysterious enclosed space, and the next she was in Wanlin Mountain.
Even though she was a ghost, it was her first time encountering such a miraculous technique.
"Do you want me to let you go?" Mo Lin casually asked Chen Xi.
"No, no..."
Chen Xi quickly shook her head, "It's my good fortune to be accepted by you. I'm willing to be taken in by you."
Leave?
Chen Xi wasn't foolish.
Having a place rich in Ghost Qi to live was a stroke of luck.
This opportunity needed to be firmly grasped.
Chen Xi noticed the Ghost Suppression Book in Mo Lin's hand and pointed at it while asking Mo Lin, "Is there a missing character behind Yin? Was I captured into this book just now?"
Mo Lin gave Chen Xi a cold glance and did not answer.
The Ghost Suppression Book was Mo Lin's secret, and he wouldn't easily share its information with a Little Ghost.
Not even a word.
Realizing she had said something wrong, Chen Xi shrank her neck, playfully sticking out her tongue.
"What is the function of the Ghost Eye?" Mo Lin called Chen Xi out to ask her about the Ghost Skill.
Chen Xi's eyes lit up and she began to speak enthusiastically.
"Ghost Eye is my Ghost Skill, and when used, it can see the level of other ghosts and the Ghost Skills they possess."
To prevent Mo Lin from thinking her Ghost Skill was weak, Chen Xi added.
"Not only can it see the Ghost Skills other ghosts possess, but also the effects of those skills."
"Yin Department Lord, you mustn't underestimate my Ghost Skill.."
