How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 46: Supernatural Events

After another night of cultivation, Chen Qi originally wanted to ask Bai Tong if he had any insights into cultivation.

But Bai Tong's response was: "I'm neither human nor a cultivator, what can I teach you? Besides, your growth rate is already incredibly fast, what else can I teach you?"

Chen Qi thought it made sense, so he turned around and left.

All that remained was a long string of voices behind him saying, "Hey, hey, hey, why did you run away? You bastard! Come back here!"

……

The next day, Chen Qi got up as usual, washed up, and ate breakfast.

Chen Ruopan, who was sitting on the sofa, yawned. She didn't look well and had dark circles under her eyes.

"What happened?" Chen Qi asked, stuffing a bite of steamed bun into his mouth, "Did someone beat you up yesterday? Why do you have two black eyes?"

"Can't you talk properly!" Chen Ruopan glared at him sideways. "It must be because I've been too tired lately, that's why I'm like this, um... that must be it, I'm not crazy!"

Chen Qi suddenly became curious about what she was talking about, so he sat down on the edge of the sofa and asked, "Did you go to the mental hospital yesterday? I thought you went to the library. What did the doctor say?"

Chen Ruopan gave Chen Qi's ear a hard tug before saying, "Who went to the mental hospital? I just went to the library! I just saw some unclean things."

Something unclean?

Chen Qi immediately activated his spiritual sense and looked inside himself.

At this moment, Bai Tong was still curled up inside, fast asleep. According to what Bai Tong said last night, the part that Chen Qi was looking at was called the "Sea of ​​Consciousness".

"Wake up, wake up," Chen Qi manipulated Xingchen to bump into Bai Tong, who was groggily awakened and muttered, "What are you yelling about so early in the morning, you idiot!"

Chen Qi: "...Never again."

These four words were like a nuclear strike to the current white copper. It immediately sobered up and said, "Don't rush, don't rush, let me see what's going on first."

The next second, in the real world, Chen Qi's shadow began to condense into an imperceptible entity, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes.

"Oh……"

Bai Tong said, "She also has a ghostly aura about her; perhaps she's been possessed by a ghost?"

Ghostly aura?

Upon hearing those two words, Chen Qi's eyes lit up like an elderly person hearing about free eggs. He exclaimed, "Can you absorb it? And then purify it and feed it back to me?"

"Okay, okay..." Bai Tong's tone was somewhat helpless. "I will do what I promised. And don't forget the compensation you owe me for emotional distress after I get out."

After saying that, Chen Qi's shadow suddenly made a biting motion.

"Awoo!"

As soon as the sound rang out, Chen Ruopan suddenly felt her body relax a little.

"Huh?" Chen Ruopan stretched her shoulders. "Feeling much better? How come a pinch made it better? Let me pinch you again..."

Chen Qi quickly dodged away and pressed, "You said you saw something unclean in the library? What happened?"

"It's not a big deal," Chen Ruopan sighed, crossing her arms. "I'd heard before that the library was haunted at night, and then something strange happened last night... But it doesn't matter. It's the 21st century, we should believe in science! I must have just imagined it!"

21st century...

Believe in science...

Chen Qi didn't know what to say, after all, he had just "eaten" a ghost yesterday.

However, after hearing what Chen Ruopan said, Chen Qi was able to make a decision.

The library where she was was also haunted!

For Chen Qi now, simple cultivation is no longer enough, since time is too short, and ghosts are undoubtedly the best fuel.

In addition, I heard Qin Bo say yesterday that ghosts are enemies that harm the living world and must be eliminated.

Since we're going to eliminate them anyway, why not make a little more contribution to ourselves? Who knows, we might even become Buddhas in the future.

"What's with that expression..." Chen Ruopan stared at Chen Qi, her arms wrapped around herself even tighter. "It's so lewd..."

Chen Qi glanced down at her, then sighed sadly.

For some reason, Chen Ruopan felt very rude.

Why are you sighing?

Chen Qi: "Stop pushing. There wasn't one to begin with. How can you possibly squeeze out a difference of one letter?"

Chen Ruopan: "Get lost!"

-

Having been "kicked out" by Chen Ruopan, Chen Qi arrived at the bookstore looking dejected.

Upon arriving at the bookstore, Chen Qi noticed numerous bags and suitcases in front of the entrance, along with a man sitting cross-legged outside the glass door.

"Why has another NPC spawned...?"

Chen Qi silently complained to himself as he used his key to open the door to the bookstore.

"Hey!" the man sitting outside called out, "Are you from the bookstore?"

Chen Qi turned around, his nostrils twitching as if he had caught a whiff of something. He frowned slightly. "Who are you?"

The man sat up from the ground and said, "I came here yesterday looking for someone, but I was chased away by a little demon. Is there no justice in this world?"

what……

Chen Qi immediately realized that this person was the man named Sun Yiyan who had been kicked out by Hu Yao yesterday.

No wonder I smelled something; it was fishy.

"Is there something you need?" Chen Qi asked.

Sun Yiyan said, "I must see Senior Wang Shande. I will absolutely not leave the bookstore entrance until I achieve this goal!"

Chen Qi: "...Then what are you doing bringing all these bags and packages?"

Sun Yiyan glanced down and replied, "These? These things aren't mine. A group of men in black delivered them an hour ago."

Man in black?

Could it be the He family?

Could there be a bomb inside?

Just as Chen Qi was filled with fear, Qin Bo ran down from the second floor of the bookstore and arrived at the door. "Ah, these things are mine. I had my family's bodyguards deliver them."

Chen Qi was taken aback. "What are you going to do with all this stuff?"

"Because my brother kicked me out," Qin Bo said in a matter-of-fact tone. "My brother said that unless I make a name for myself in the cultivation world, I'm not allowed to go back to the Qin family office, so I have to find a place to stay for now."

"Perfect timing! There were some empty rooms on the second floor, so I picked one that suited me and had my family bring my things over."

Chen Qi: "..."

Why do I remember that I was the boss?

But why was he completely unaware of all the "major strategic deployments" within the bookstore?

A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Qi's mind.

He holds a high-ranking position but lacks real power; if anything goes wrong at the bookstore, he will be held fully responsible.

Holy crap, how did I become one of those legal representatives who were tricked into joining?
