CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: A STARVING CAMEL IS STILL BIGGER THAN A HORSE (FOURTH UPDATE)

Wu Xiaolan cried even harder, "Actually, after I died, I could see a door of light, and I knew I should go in. But I was unwilling to leave, which ended up harming others... I, I really couldn’t control myself, so I always chose the weakest... Forget it, I won’t make excuses for myself.

Once I reach the Underworld, there will be judgment for my actions, and I will bear the consequences myself. Now that door has appeared again, I can only be free if I go through it, otherwise Liu Qiang might still use my corpse to control me."

She stood up, bowed, broke off the long nail on her little finger and handed it over, sobbing, "Thanks to the master’s help in freeing me. I don’t have much to offer, so I’ll give you this Ghost Nail, you might find it useful.

Receiving the Ghost Nail, Jiang Yuan wasn’t sure what it could be used for, so he put it in his pocket and said, "If you don’t mind, tell me your name and birth date, I’ll burn some Paper Money for you later."

Considering her life, she truly had no one to burn paper for her after death.

Wu Xiaolan wiped her tears and gave her birth date before stepping into the door of light, which only she could see. As for where she went, Jiang Yuan didn’t know either.

"Looks like it’s resolved," Chuci looked for a long time, the sudden flash destroyed several surveillance cameras, but he finally saw Jiang Yuan’s somewhat weary figure in the elevator and breathed a sigh of relief.

Cai Changming glanced at the office building from the car window, "What was that we saw? It filled so many floors instantly, seemed quite impressive."

"No matter how it was dealt with, it’s good that the problem is solved. We should have that master from the hospital come back for a look. Although he fell pretty badly, I talked with him and felt he has some real skills and seemed honest enough not to deceive us. Once this is confirmed settled, you should think about how to thank Jiang Yuan."

"Sure, absolutely, young people are so impressive! The key is Mr. Jiang lives here, there aren’t any famous masters in our area, so it’s convenient if anything happens in the future."

Chuci nodded in agreement, as any famous master is usually very hard to meet. Jiang Yuan is clearly new to the field and short on cash, making it a good time to build connections.

Networking is like investing, you have to see the potential early on and invest without hesitation, otherwise, trying to hitch a ride later is so much harder when they’ve already soared.

After resolving the office haunting, Jiang Yuan relayed Wu Xiaolan’s words to them. He wasn’t any law enforcer or authoritative person to investigate whether Liu Qiang used Evil Techniques. He merely kindly advised them to be cautious when dealing with him in the future.

After that, Jiang Yuan took a two-day break.

Mostly because he had only heard about it but never experienced it firsthand. Ever since he bound the Wilderness World icon, traveling between two worlds, he unknowingly opened the Celestial Eye and got involved in ghostly affairs, giving him a surreal feeling.

It seemed even the real world became less real.

But the recent gains pulled him back to the vibrant reality—The chairman of Xuri Company expressed gratitude by gifting him a house!

"Brother, my aunt tried the Sleeping Incense, lighting a stick, oh! In her own words, she never slept so soundly in her entire life, the effect was fantastic! She urged me to order a long-term supply from you, at least six months for starters." Chuci opened the car door for him, smiling brightly, "I’m taking you to see the house today, you’ll see that all the effort wasn’t in vain!"

Cai Changming was still busy handling the aftermath, needing to hire "professionals" to convincingly act to appease some big tenants. So, he had Chuci take care of "Master Jiang" first and follow up later to strengthen their relationship.

Once he confirmed the office building was clear, he couldn’t contain his joy.

This was his retirement security for the rest of his life, but giving money directly wasn’t convenient. After all, Jiang Yuan’s company was just doing small-scale business for pocket money, an influx of too much cash would complicate tax reporting.

Therefore, Chuci suggested gifting a house, after some thought, Cai Changming found it perfect.

Even a scrawny camel is bigger than a horse. Despite the downturn in real estate, Cai Changming still had properties under his name.

So, he drafted a property transfer contract, handled the registration and taxes himself, and "sold" one of his large flats to Jiang Yuan.

"About the Sleeping Incense, it’s medicinal, helping to regulate the body. Generally, mild cases see results after using it for a week; severe cases, up to a month. Once the body adjusts and can sleep naturally, you can stop using it."

Jiang Yuan handed over a meticulously prepared wooden box, "Inside are thirty sticks of Sleeping Incense, you might not use them all. Once you feel the insomnia is cured, you can stop and save them for later. Remember to store them in a dry place without exposure, occasionally air them to prevent insects, the medicinal Incense I make has a three-year shelf life."

After the instructions, he took the property purchase contract, bewildered, "Linjiang Peach Blossom Spring? Where is that? Also, isn’t the house... too big?"

A large flat over four hundred square meters per floor, he never even dreamed of such.

Then he thought about the water and electricity bills, property fees, heating, how much would that cost? Looking at the dizzying floor plan, he felt he might need navigation even in his own home.

"Living comfortably in a big house! This complex might be a bit off the city center, so it’s normal you haven’t heard of it. The best part, you know what? This neighborhood was developed by Uncle Cai back in his real estate heyday, and the property is still under his company, the spot he reserved for himself, just imagine how fantastic it is!"

Chuci chuckled as he drove, "We’ll see the house first, if satisfied, you can move in today. I live in the building next to yours, being close gives a sense of security. Recently, I dared not even open my windows at night, afraid of being haunted by a water ghost again!"

Once entering the opulent Linjiang Peach Blossom Spring, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized why he feared water ghosts — the greenery resembling a forest park, the community surrounded by blooming flowers and trees, positioned right by the river, it’s undeniably a prime river-view property.

As he walked into the large living room with its floor-to-ceiling windows, he immediately saw the Chunjiang scenery.

Below was a riverside scenic walking avenue, looking down from the L-shaped large balcony, the colorful flower clusters and rippling water waves inexplicably lifted his mood.

"The layout and location are great, the only downside is Uncle Cai’s previous renovation, if you don’t like it, you’d have to redo it." Chuci leaned into the ample living room sofa, knowing Jiang Yuan probably didn’t recognize these brands, subtly reminded, "But the renovation reportedly cost over four million back then, and it’s not outdated now."

Jiang Yuan was completely overwhelmed.

He knew his Paperman and Paper Horse Skill was more potent than those charlatans and could earn money with it.

Yet intending to try his hand and ending up earning a house was surprising. Although he had never heard of it before, from the location to the occupancy ratio to the surroundings and environment, even he knew this was by far a luxury residence!

"How much could this house be worth?"

"Over four hundred square meters with two parking spaces, the current second-hand price is probably... over two thousand?" Chuci waved it off with a smile, "Uncle Cai’s office building is worth billions, not to mention it wasn’t just ordinary haunting, four lives were lost. You helped him stop the losses just in time, gifting a house is nothing, if you like it, don’t mind the price.

The one I live in was offered by Uncle Cai as well, back then it was less than ten million. Don’t worry about so many details, just say if you like it, if you do, sign for the transfer, and it’s your home from now on!"
