Lin Yin, having recovered from her shock, began to look around the slums in front of her.

All I saw were dark mountains stretching and undulating around me. The slum was surrounded by the mountains and was about the size of an ancient town.

The plaque at the city gate reads: [Mingyuan City]

The rich second-generation ghost was somewhat resistant to the Mingyuan City because there were all kinds of monsters and demons in it. Although there were patrolling ghosts, he still didn't like this place because it was gloomy and full of the aura of death.

He is a ghost, but he doesn't like places with a strong smell of death. He still likes the wealthy area where he lives, which looks no different from an ancient city in the human world.

But when he thought about it, he couldn't let the girl go in alone, so he gritted his teeth and walked with her to Mingyuan City.

The outline of Mingyuan City was looming in the thick fog, like a giant beast that had been sleeping for many years, lurking in the silence.

The entire city seemed to be shrouded in a huge gray curtain. Only the dim lanterns barely emitted a faint light, illuminating the mottled cobblestone roads.

On both sides of the street, the doors of the dilapidated houses were half open. Occasionally, the sounds of children playing broke the silence, but were quickly swallowed up by the surrounding dead silence.

At this time, a woman dressed in ancient costume came towards them. She was tall, with a rosy face, long hair cascading to her waist like a waterfall, and a light gauze dress that fluttered in the wind as she danced.

She came to stand in front of Lin Yin and smiled, "Are you Lin Yin?"

Lin Yin nodded, "Who are you?"

The woman said angrily, "I am Nüying. You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for several days."

Lin Yin was a little surprised. Waiting for her? Before she could answer, the woman said, "Come on, I'll take you to find the person you want to recruit. Follow me."

The rich second-generation ghost widened his eyes, Nuying?

Is she Nüying, the legendary god of wind and rain, daughter of Emperor Yao, and the current goddess in charge of Mengpo Manor in the underworld?

This, this, this... Boss Lin actually asked Nuying to personally take her to recruit people?

The rich second-generation ghost was so frightened that he was speechless. A small figure like him, even if he lived in a wealthy area, would rarely see such big figures from the ghost world on weekdays.

But then he thought, since she even knew the King of Hell, it seemed normal for her to also know Nv Ying. He would definitely cling to Boss Lin's thighs in the future! This was the only big boss connection a low-level ghost like him could get to know!

Seeing Lin Yin still in a daze, the rich second-generation ghost hurriedly tugged at her clothes and whispered, "This is the goddess! The goddess!"

Lin Yin said "Oh" and then followed with confidence. Nv Ying turned around and smiled at her.

Along the way, ghosts would occasionally see Lin Yin and his group, and they would look at them with curiosity.

Lin Yin also noticed the ghosts here. Their clothes were very tattered, and some had big holes in them. They looked no different from beggars.

Some ghosts were missing arms and legs, and some even had incomplete faces. In comparison, the ghosts Lin Yin saw in her shop on a daily basis were much more normal.

However, Lin Yin didn't find the ghosts in Mingyuan City scary. He only sighed inwardly, pitying them. No one collected their bodies before they died, so they didn't even have a chance to repair their remains before burial.

Soon, Lin Yin was taken to a yard.

There were twenty or thirty men and women of different ages standing in the yard.

"I've already selected a group of people for you. I think these are pretty good. Do you think there are any that suit your taste?"

Lin Yin looked at them. The ages of these ghosts were roughly between twenty and fifty years old.

Some of them looked anxious, while others looked expectant.

At this time, Lin Yin noticed a young female ghost. There were wounds and red and swollen palm prints on her face. The person standing next to her seemed to be her elder, and he was nervously holding her hands.

Nuying followed Lin Yin's gaze and understood what was happening. She leaned over to Lin Yin's ear and whispered, "They're a mother and daughter. The girl is often beaten by her father at home in Mingyuan City. If her mother tries to stop them, she'll be beaten too..."

Lin Yin nodded and walked towards the girl. "What's your name?"

The girl hadn't expected Lin Yin to speak to her right away. She felt a mixture of fear and joy. She glanced at Lin Yin quickly, then lowered her head and said, "My name is Liu Zhenzhen."

"And this one, is she your mother?" Lin Yin looked at the middle-aged woman next to the girl.

The middle-aged woman quickly said, "Yes, I'm Zhenzhen's mother. My name is Li Peishan."

The ghosts nearby showed envy when they saw Lin Yin talking to the mother and daughter.

Lin Yin glanced at her watch. There was no time to waste, so she got straight to the point: "I'm looking for two employees to run my shop. Food and lodging are provided, and you can set your own wages. What do you think?"

The mother and daughter were both stunned for a moment. Did they hear it right?

Li Peishan knew they were only able to come today thanks to Nv Ying's help, as she had escaped her husband's clutches and was able to participate. Even so, she hadn't held out much hope, as male ghosts were generally stronger than female ones, and shops in the ghost world that needed workers generally gave priority to male ghosts.

Li Peishan came to her senses and immediately pulled her daughter up, wanting to kowtow to Lin Yin, but was stopped by Lin Yin, "Hurry up, what are you doing? I'm just hiring workers, not slaves."

Li Peishan had no choice but to pull her daughter and thank her repeatedly, tears filling her eyes.

They can finally escape from this damn place...

No need to go back and get beaten again.

The rich second-generation ghost had been watching silently from the sidelines when he suddenly realized something and hurriedly said to Lin Yin, "Well... Boss Lin, I'm afraid my car won't be able to accommodate two more people."

If he had known that Boss Lin would take his men back so soon, he would not have come here today in a two-seater sports car.

Nu Ying curled her lips and smiled, "You can drive your car back by yourself, we will take this one."

After she finished speaking, Nuying blew a whistle, and in an instant a luxurious carriage pulled by two white winged Pegasus horses appeared in the sky and stopped steadily in front of them.

The carriage radiated a brilliant golden light, as dazzling as the sun against the backdrop of the night. Every detail of the carvings was exquisitely crafted. The wheels seemed crafted from a single block of crystal, their spokes inlaid with shimmering gemstones. A faint halo surrounded the rim, flowing as the wheels turned, like a moving Milky Way.

The other ghosts present had obviously never seen such a scene before. They all stared blankly at the huge carriage, which could seat at least ten people.

The rich second-generation ghost opened his mouth into an O shape. Damn, this momentum is different. It is worthy of being the car of God! In comparison, his luxury sports cars instantly lost their appeal.
