Chapter 207 The Conman 7
"Finally, that ugly thing is gone." Ling Yunzi got into the car clutching a small bottle of Yanggang Niu Le Tu (a type of herbal medicine), and only then did he let out a long sigh of relief.
With the fame he gained for that thing, he's had far fewer female clients in the past two years, reportedly because they all thought he was a pervert.
Ling Yi glanced sideways: "I thought you really liked your big bull."
Ling Yunzi said with a look of irritation, "My original idea was to make two cow horns to represent the release of yang energy, but what about that kid...?"
He gritted his teeth: "If you insist on adding a component, you have to make it bigger and thicker!"
What kind of aesthetic sense is this?!
"Who gave you permission?" Ling Yi scoffed. No matter how angry she was, she still had to do it against her will. What's the use of regretting it now?
"He added 500,000."
Ling Yi paused for a moment, then took out her phone: "I'll contact the zoo now."
Well, it would be hard to refuse her if it were her.
The customer is really foolish, but he has the power to spend money.
Ling Yunzi watched her make the phone call with a cold smile, summoning the zoo's leopard-hunting team.
"You saw it before you even came in?" he asked in surprise. This little apprentice really did inherit some of his skills, never missing an opportunity to swindle... cough cough, expand his business.
"What else? Are you really going to exorcise the evil spirit for that boss?" She had a hard time dealing with even a dog demon, how could she possibly handle a leopard that had scared most of the farm?
"I suspect you are using Yin-Yang techniques to teach me," Ling Yunzi had just started the car when he heard Ling Yi ask, "Master, do you think there really are demons and monsters in this world?"
Ling Yunzi laughed: "Yes, of course it is! Isn't it all written in the Classic of Mountains and Seas? Be careful when you go out in the future, so you don't run into it again."
He made her choke, so Ling Yi rolled her eyes and ignored him.
The old man was just a salesman who relied solely on his words and had no idea about the existence of ghosts. So how was she supposed to deal with that painted-skin ghost?
Was it because of the peach wood sword she got free shipping, or because of her half-baked Taoist scriptures?
Should I report it to a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple?
It's a bit difficult, since she simply can't tell whether the people living in that Taoist temple are staff from the management center or truly skilled Taoist priests.
Moreover, a skilled Taoist priest might also be the lover of a demon who has been implicated in a physical alter ego.
"This is tricky..." She rubbed her temples and began to consider the possibility of becoming a self-taught demon slayer.
It's just unknown how many people will have their lifespan drained during this period.
As she was deep in thought, Ling Yunzi was also glancing at his disciple out of the corner of his eye.
Could it be that we've really seen a ghost?
No way, her ability to see ghosts hasn't worked for years.
It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision that led him to adopt the child.
In his youth, he practiced under the tutelage of a wandering Taoist priest and developed some skill. After subduing a weasel, he returned home and saw a baby girl lying by the roadside.
In the dead of winter, fearing the child would freeze to death, he carried him to the car.
Then he noticed that the little girl was acting strangely.
For example, you can see the fox spirit enshrined in his house, and you can even smile at the fox spirit.
The Fox Fairy said that this child was born with the ability to see ghosts, and if he was properly taught, he might be able to carry forward their half-baked lineage of Taoism.
Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth and gave his relatives 20,000 yuan to help them complete the adoption procedures for the child and raise him in their care.
then……
Master offended a powerful ghost and was killed, losing his chance to cultivate. Even Ling Yi's Yin-Yang eyes were corrupted, making her unable to see ghosts anymore.
From then on, Ling Yunzi became one of the Taoist priests in the martial arts world. His little apprentice, who was still too young to remember anything, was sent to kindergarten by him a few years later and grew up like an ordinary child.
I've never seen anything unusual about this child over the years. It's impossible that his ability to see ghosts has suddenly become active as he's gotten older.
I've only ever heard that the younger the child, the clearer their aura; I've never heard of someone so old being able to return to their innate state.
Ling Yunzi was conflicted, unsure whether to ask Ling Yi if she had seen anything strange, or to keep her away from these supernatural things and assume she was just an ordinary swindler.
After a long while, he sighed deeply.
Forget it, in the world of ghosts and gods, death is a common occurrence. He didn't want the child he raised from childhood to die so easily like his master.
"Why hasn't your bird spoken for so long? Is it mute?" Thinking of this, the old man smiled and went to tease Ling Yi's bird.
Lingyi reached behind her and took the myna bird into her palm, gently stroking its feathers.
The sleeping bird opened its eyes, glanced at her, and then nestled peacefully in her palm before falling asleep again.
That dependent little look really doesn't seem like a stranger I've only known for less than 24 hours.
Lingyi tapped its beak: "Good boy."
In the conference room, Wu Jin paused almost imperceptibly, then said with a calm expression, "That leopard has gained sentience. Bring it to the station and teach it common sense. Don't let it go out and disturb the people anymore."
No one could have imagined that the leopard's escape was because it had gained sentience and longed for a free life outside.
Even more unexpectedly, the leopard, which had been fed by its keepers, had long lost its ability to hunt. Its intimidation outside the farm these days was just a helpless rage because it couldn't catch its prey.
The subordinate nodded and said worriedly, "In the past half month alone, seventeen animals that have developed intelligence have been discovered here. This is definitely not a good thing."
Putting aside the fact that something unusual must be a sign of something sinister, just look at those sentient beings; the trouble they cause will make them suffer.
For example, there was a sixteen-year-old cat who had watched the child grow up. The first thing it did upon gaining sentience was to pin the child down at the table and tutor them while scolding them: "Your tutor has explained it eight times, a full eight times! Even I, an old woman, understood it, but you, you idiot, still only have eyes for uncontaminated stupidity!"
When they found the old cat, the family's child had already been tutored at the table for three days, and the child's parents were too scared to come into the house because of the cat's aggressive behavior.
Thinking of all the unusual signs, Wu Jin rubbed his temples heavily and said coldly, "Did you find out what signs they had when they awakened?"
The person speaking, or the humanoid spirit beast, nodded: "They say that when they awaken, they hear someone calling their name, but they lose that feeling after waking up."
"You suspect... that a powerful demon is causing trouble?"
This ability to casually transform animals into spirits is definitely not something that can be done by ordinary things; it might just be an ancient fossil that survived from antiquity.
It is well known that the old folks who survived from the era of the Demon Court may still retain the traditional custom of cannibalism.
The anglerfish that spoke glanced cautiously at Wu Jin and asked in a low voice, "Do you think this person is someone you know?"
If it were someone Mr. Wu knew, this would be much easier to handle...
Judging from past experience, those who survived the era of the Demon Court were quite obedient to him.
Even the Kunpeng who had just regained consciousness and was already gnawing on a blue whale was no exception.
