Ghost King: "Do you have money?"
Upon hearing her question, Su Yu touched her pocket.
There really wasn't a single penny inside.
But she has gold!
Gold trading is still quite profitable right now.
So, Su Yu took out a small piece of gold and placed it in Liangzi's palm.
"Go buy it, and remember to buy your favorite set."
"Then we want some too!" Xiangyu and her two friends decisively surrounded Su Yutuan: "Mommy, you won't not buy them for us, will you? We want to wear these too!"
Su Yu: "..."
She could only silently cut off another piece, divide it into three portions, and hand them to the children.
In this way, only Miss Ghost King and herself remained.
The Ghost King quietly approached, took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, and stuffed them into Su Yu's hand.
"Let's go, let's buy a new outfit too!"
……
"Welcome, everyone!"
"Is there anything you need?"
"Ah, this kimono! You have excellent taste, sir. This kimono is very nice; the fabric is so smooth, it's made of the finest silk!"
The saleswoman was working hard to promote the product.
Clearly, she was not a human being, but a doll infused with a soul.
In the past, this would have been an astonishing act, but now it's quite common.
After all, they had just experienced such a war, and the surviving humans all possessed unparalleled superpowers, making it incredibly easy for them to imbue dolls with souls.
Su Yu glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away and returning to the kimono in front of her.
The Demon King and Ms. Ryoko were carefully selecting items, while the three children wanted everything they saw!
Su Yu really wanted to beat them up...
What a naughty child!
Prodigal!
"Cough cough cough! That's enough. Three sets per person at most. No more than that."
Upon hearing this, Longjiao quickly put the two sets back in his hands.
She looked at Xiangyu beside her with a deep affection in her eyes: "Give it to Xiangyu, I only need one set."
Why did his eyes suddenly become so affectionate?
Xiangyu felt a little embarrassed by the cheesy gesture and quickly refused, saying, "I only want one set!"
Tangyuan: "Ah~ I feel hungry! When can we go eat?"
This guy, as always, has a different style; he's a complete foodie.
Su Yu suddenly remembered that when Xiangyu and Longjiao descended from the mist in mid-air, they seemed to be in a strange state, especially Longjiao.
Moreover, when Su Yu thought about that enormous dragon roar, she couldn't believe that it could be a sound made from just dragon horns.
The system, which usually had little presence, weakly chimed in at this moment: "It seems like those two have combined once before?"
Su Yu: "They've merged?!"
System: "It's not the yellow waste you're imagining! It's a ritual for fusing dragon souls, similar to an Autobot transformation?"
Su Yu: "Oh..."
So, what exactly does the combined form look like?
Moreover, it seems they didn't stay together for very long before separating?
At this moment, Su Yu had many questions on her mind.
However, she didn't ask the question directly, planning to study it carefully when she got back.
The system was collecting information about the surrounding environment when suddenly it made a "huh" sound.
Su Yu looked down at it.
It turned out to be staring intently at a decorative item in the room...
"What, did you see one of your kind?"
System:o( ̄ヘ ̄o#)
It didn't say anything, just snorted and turned its back.
Unable to get any information, Su Yu, filled with curiosity, walked towards the pendant.
Before I could even reach out and touch it, I heard the saleswoman's voice stopping me.
"My esteemed guest! Please do not touch the ornaments in the shop. Those things contain demons and are ominous objects that will bring bad luck."
Something ominous?
Will it bring bad luck?
So, Su Yu did indeed sense some ghostly energy and a faint demonic aura from it.
"Then, if I'm not afraid of this, can I take a look at it?"
"I'm so sorry, my esteemed guest. Please don't break the rules set by the shop manager, and please don't make things difficult for me, an ordinary doll."
……
I came out of the kimono shop.
The system, which had been silent until now, began to speak of the intelligence it had just gathered.
System: "The ornaments in that shop contain the relics of that princess, and it's clear that people often make offerings to her."
Su Yu: "People actually make offerings to this?"
System: "So I'm very surprised. Why would humans worship such a cruel and ferocious creature when it didn't bring any benefits to humans while it was alive?"
It does not understand human psychology.
However, Ryoko revealed the truth in one sentence: "Because worshipping these evil spirits can bring unexpected benefits to oneself."
"Humans worship gods in order to fulfill their wishes."
"However, the gods require people to be pure of heart and willing to give, and the process of fulfilling their wishes is also exceptionally long."
"If you worship ghosts or monsters, it will be much easier to get your wishes fulfilled."
"Ghosts don't require people to be pure-hearted. As long as you do things for them and follow the rules of the game, the process of granting your wish is very short and often has an immediate effect."
At this point, Ryoko sighed again.
No one can escape unscathed from a deal made with ghosts.
Ghosts and monsters are better than any human at exploiting the rules of this world, taking advantage of people's greed, and amplifying it.
As long as you keep exploiting people's greed, you'll eventually be able to drag that person down into the abyss.
As the Ghost King listened to these words, he thoughtfully touched the area around his heart.
After becoming human, she would often touch her heart, feel its beating, and feel her own body temperature.
"My Lord, do you think that in the future I will also be caught by my greed?"
Ryoko glanced at her and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
There was a hint of reconciliation in his eyes.
"You are an exception, a monster who was dragged into the abyss by humans who seized upon your greed."
434. New Year's Eve, Shooting Stars and Fireworks (Final Chapter)
My trip to Japan ended in two days.
Su Yu and her friends naturally returned home with a full load of goods.
Fortunately, Tangyuan was quite strong. Carrying them on my back, I soared uphill and arrived home safely in no time.
"Ah, this is so convenient!"
The Ghost King looked at the little cutie and admired her more and more.
He casually ruffled her hair.
"I'll be relying on you from now on when we go out!"
Tangyuan blinked, looked at her with a blank expression, and chuckled foolishly twice.
So cute, so incredibly cute!
Unfortunately, dragon horns are hard and can't twitch like animal ears, which is a real shame.
As for Xiangyu and Longjiao, they glanced at each other, then at the clothes the other was wearing, and then at the snacks the other was carrying, and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
Hmm, a malicious smile!
Taro: "You probably don't like jelly, right?"
Ryukaku instinctively hugged the jelly in his hand tighter, and said warily, "Who said that? Jelly is my favorite thing."
"So you probably don't like roast chicken?"
"Who said that!"
Xiangyu stepped forward, suddenly reached out, and snatched the bag of pastries that Longjiao was carrying in his right hand.
She took out ten pieces, opened her blood-red mouth wide, and swallowed them whole.
