How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 40: Scarlet Eyes

Sitting in the tea garden of People's Park, Wang Shande, who had left his work to the bookstore, finally had time to rest today.

After the previous owner of the bookstore died, all the work that should have been handed over to the person in charge fell on Wang Shande's shoulders alone.

Although Wang Shande admits that he has strong work ability, is he really that good?

So after working so hard for so long, Wang Shande "had no choice" but to hand over his work to the bookstore.

However, in his opinion, the job was not that difficult.

Although Shen Nianxu is not very mature, her strength is undeniable.

Moreover, the Wan Yao Club was somewhat afraid of the bookstore, so Wang Shande thought things shouldn't get too complicated.

But... obviously, if you make something seem easy and simple, then it usually starts to become complicated.

Just as he took a sip of tea from his gaiwan, the cell phone in Wang Shande's arms suddenly rang.

He pulled his phone out of his clothes and found that it was Shen Nianxu calling.

"That's it?" Wang Shande was a little surprised. He didn't expect the previous owner of the bookstore to be so dazzling that he overshadowed Shen Nianxu's talent for getting things done. The speed at which the matter was resolved was even faster than he had thought!

There's something there.

Thinking of this, he answered the phone and asked, "Hey? How's it going? Is everything resolved?"

"Solved my ass! Uncle Wang, you fucking tricked us!"

Wang Shande was scolded so harshly that he was momentarily stunned and didn't know what was going on. "What's wrong with me?"

Shen Nianxu quickly recounted what had happened inside the Wan Yao Club, and Wang Shande's heart pounded after hearing it.

The owner of the Ten Thousand Demons Club actually kept a ghost!

They even use their own lifespan to raise ghosts, and now they're even setting their sights on the living!

This matter was clearly suspicious. Wang Shande knew very well how important the Wanyao Club was to the manager, and there was no reason for her to target her own customers.

However, now that it is a fact that the Ten Thousand Demons Guild is intentionally raising ghosts, everything else is no longer important.

This is the most serious of all crimes in the world of cultivators!

"You actually escaped?" Wang Shande was somewhat surprised, after all, according to Shen Nianxu's description, the ghost had now become quite powerful.

"We barely escaped using the Flying Clamping Stone from the Qin Family Firm," Shen Nianxu added. "The problem now is that only we escaped; Chen Qi is still trapped on the second basement floor of the Ten Thousand Demons Club!"

"Let me make this clear from the start: if anything happens to Chen Qi, I'll have the entire Ten Thousand Demons Guild pay with their lives!"

Shen Nianxu said such things not because of Chen Fuzhou.

The death of her previous boss had already caused her severe PTSD. Shen Nianxu didn't want to see her next boss die in front of her, and she was powerless to do anything about it!

"I understand, please calm down," Wang Shande knew that Shen Nianxu was truly capable of doing something like this. "Where are you now?"

Shen Nianxu said coldly, "We are on our way to the Ten Thousand Demons Association. I am informing you now in the hope that you can come over as well. After all, this is a ghost, and I still hope that someone with enough influence can handle this matter."

"Okay." Wang Shande immediately agreed to the matter. If something happens to Chen Qi, not to mention Shen Nianxu, Chen Fuzhou might even rush back from out of town and wipe out the entire Wan Yao Club. At that time, Qingcheng would be in chaos!

After hanging up the phone, Wang Shande slapped his forehead. "Sigh, how did this mess get to this point? I'm speechless."

He grabbed his trench coat from the wicker chair, draped it over his shoulders, took a small sip of tea from his gaiwan, and then turned and walked out of the park.

"Chen Qi, you absolutely can't get hurt! Just hold on a little longer, as long as you can hold on until I get there!"

Wang Shande kept repeating this sentence in his heart, which could be described as a prayer.

After all, what would happen if he died?

……

The Ten Thousand Demons Club is located in a secluded old house on the second basement floor.

Chen Qi hesitated as he faced the ghost before him.

He was actually a little unsure, but he had some vague guesses in his mind.

When Shen Nianxu gave the sachet to herself yesterday, it still had a ghostly aura on it, but the ghostly aura disappeared after one night.

I even had diarrhea this morning, even though I barely ate anything last night and didn't order any takeout.

Then, the number of stars in my possession skyrocketed, and even the progress of my star map was accelerated by a large margin.

Chen Qi felt that these things were definitely not accidents.

It must be that I unknowingly eliminated the ghostly energy on the sachet.

Since I was able to get rid of the ghostly energy on the sachet, I should be able to deal with vengeful ghosts without any means of doing so.

From now on, it's all down to luck.

Before them, the ghost inside the old house took a step forward.

pat-

A foot emerged from the shadows, its pale skin covered in lividity, and the stench of death was overwhelming.

Chen Qi simply stood there, wanting to see if his body would react in any way.

The luminous pearl was also by his side; apart from not being in his own room, his situation was no different from the previous night.

If the attempt to ward off the vengeful ghost failed, it means the key lies in his room; it's highly likely that Chen's father set up some kind of mechanism in his room that could kill the vengeful ghost.

However, if not, then his body will inevitably react in some way.

"This is simply suicidal!" Yao Ning, lying by the bed, turned pale. The terrifying ghost before her exerted an extremely horrifying pressure on her, after all, it was a being that had no connection with the mortal world in the true sense.

Even demons have a lifespan and fear ghosts, because ghosts devour lifespan and yang energy. Living beings in the mortal realm must be on guard!

Even the shopkeeper, who was sitting on the bed, had an unpredictable expression.

She didn't know where Chen Qi's confidence came from. If he didn't have confidence, how could he have uttered such nonsense about dealing with the vengeful ghost?

However, Chen Qi now has no confidence or trump card, and even looks like he's been scared out of his wits, frozen in place without moving.

What exactly does he want to do?

The shopkeeper didn't understand, Yao Ning didn't understand, Chen Qi himself didn't understand, and even the vengeful ghost opposite Chen Qi didn't understand.

Of the three people present, four didn't understand what Chen Qi was really up to!

At that moment, Chen Qi's shadow suddenly began to undergo some kind of strange change.

A pair of scarlet eyes suddenly opened from his shadow!
