Ling Yue asked a lot of questions about Jing Yucheng's upbringing, feeling that she was really missing out if she hadn't known him since he was a child!

The two walked and stopped, talked a lot, and their feelings for each other underwent a subtle change.

Ling Yue became even more dependent on him.

When Jing Yucheng brought her to the Ghost Realm, it was already nine o'clock at night. The two had dinner at the Jing family's house, and Ling Yue was quite surprised to see Qin Huai again at the table.

Is this person going to stay at the Jing family's house?

"What are you looking at?"

"I am heterosexual, so there's no need to worry."

Qin Huai didn't care that Jing Yangsheng, an elder, was present, and spoke without any restraint.

Ling Yue knew he was talking to her, but she just ignored him.

Jingyang Sheng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Xiaoyue, introduce yourself. This is Master Qin's youngest son, and also his only son. He's the same age as Acheng, and they've been very close since they were little. Xiao Huai needs us here on business, so he'll be staying at our house temporarily. I just wanted to let you know."

This made Ling Yue a little embarrassed, since she didn't live here and it didn't seem to affect her at all.

Ling Yue simply smiled and agreed, without saying anything more.

So Qin Huai and Jing Yucheng were childhood friends!

No wonder Jing Yucheng knows him so well.

After finishing their meal, Qin Huai quietly approached Ling Yue and said in a low voice, "I heard you opened a bar?"

"I'll patronize your business."

Ling Yue was startled by the sudden sound in her ear. Before she could react, Qin Huai gave her an ambiguous look and then strode away from the restaurant.

This guy is seriously insane...

Two nights later, at 11 p.m., most of the guests at Ghostly Human World had left. Ling Yue had just collected a lot of tableware and wine glasses and thought that since she wasn't busy at the moment, she would go to Ningxia's cashier's position and chat with her.

To my surprise, Ningxia kept her head down, holding a thick book in her hand. I assumed she had recently become obsessed with some martial arts novel, so I glanced at the book's title: Statistics...

Goodness, the mindset and awareness of a top student are far beyond what a mediocre student like her could ever achieve!

Ningxia saw that Ling Yue was practically pressing her entire weight onto her shoulders, and she was completely dejected.

“I think our drinks are priced too low. If we can’t sell them at a good price, we won’t make any money. As the boss, shouldn’t you be actively expanding the business?”

The implication is that Ling Yue has been somewhat unambitious lately.

Ningxia is quick to spur on Ling Yue.

When I was in school, I pushed myself to study; after graduation, I pushed myself to work hard in my career.

How fortunate I am to have such a friend by my side.

Ling Yue instantly became incredibly energetic, straightening her posture perfectly. "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard to expand my career!"

She had been thinking to herself that now that she had obtained the business license for the underworld, she couldn't let it sit idle. It was time to start looking for jobs in the underworld.

However, after Lu Boqing came home with him last time, he never saw him again.

When asked, Ling Yi said that Qingqing only played with him for a short time before leaving, saying that she had important business to attend to and would come back to play with him when she had time.

Ling Yue could roughly guess that he probably had other work in the Underworld, and given her current situation, which meant she was already past her probationary period, his focus was definitely no longer on her...

Just as she was pondering how to make a name for herself in the underworld, she looked up and saw that pervert!

He was holding a white handkerchief, covering his mouth and nose, as if he had come to a very dirty place...

Why would someone with such severe mysophobia still go out and about?

Ling Yue quickly buried her head under the bar, hoping the man wouldn't notice her, but to her surprise, he actually came!

Then a faint voice came from above, "Oh, are you trying to play hide-and-seek with me?"

"I've loved this game since I was little, but I mostly played it with ghosts~"

Ling Yue: ……

Reluctantly raising his head with a fake smile, he said, "Of course not, welcome! What would Mr. Qin like to drink?"

As Ling Yue spoke, she thoughtfully showed him the wine list, but he immediately refused, saying, "No, I'm allergic to alcohol."

His statement about being allergic to alcohol attracted a lot of onlookers.

Yes, that's it, look at him like he's a lunatic.

Who with an alcohol allergy would come to a bar? If he were even slightly normal…

Ling Yue patiently continued with a fake smile, "Then may I ask what brings you here?"

"How can I help you?"

Qin Huai ignored her and walked up to Chen Wenli. "Uncle Chen, the usual."

Then he returned to Ling Yue with a mocking expression, "The bar owner doesn't even know about de-alcoholized spirits?"

"I think this bar will go out of business sooner or later."

Ling Yue had no way to refute it...

However, she suddenly realized a problem: when Qin Huai entered the Ghostly Human Gate, the wind chimes didn't make a clear sound...

This is completely illogical. How could there be no sound when this person has so many ghosts under his command?

I should ask Jing Yucheng about it later, since the wind chimes hanging on the wall by the door were a gift from him.

For the rest of the time, Qin Huai sat quietly at the bar and drank his wine.

However, his arrival caused quite a stir in the ghost world.

"Look, look! That man is so handsome!"

"He's more than just handsome; he has a kind of ascetic beauty!"

"Could it be some celebrity visiting the store?"

"I don't think so. I feel like no male celebrity is as good-looking as him. You don't even know that he kept his face covered with a handkerchief at first, so you couldn't tell. But I just saw his profile when he was drinking!"

"My God, it's so beautiful!"

A group of female fans whispered among themselves. At this time, they were all supposed to leave and go home, but Qin Huai's arrival made them order another drink.

Ling Yue wondered if she should thank that pervert for helping her increase her sales.

It was almost midnight, and all the customers had already left, but Qin Huai showed no sign of leaving.

Ling Yue hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Mr. Qin, our shop is about to close. Have you finished your drink?"

Qin Huai started being sarcastic again, "This is a bar, right? The nightlife has just begun and you're already closing up?"

"When you have time, you should ask the people in charge of finance here how many more days you can hold on."

Ling Yue, having reached her limit, was about to engage in a fierce verbal battle with him when Ning Xia's words successfully stopped her.

"What he said makes a lot of sense."

Ling Yue: ……

The only finance person in the Ghostly Human World sided with Qin Huai...

"This person is actually quite intelligent."

After Ningxia finished speaking, she walked directly up to Qin Huai and asked, "Can we talk?"

The moment Qin Huai approached Ning Xia, he tensed up and instantly adopted a "keep away" attitude, a stark contrast to his interactions with Ling Yue.

"Leave far away."

Ningxia froze on the spot. Seeing this, Chen Wenli quickly explained to Ningxia.

"Xia, please don't mind him. Xiao Huai never talks to strangers. He's sick. Just ignore him."

Ningxia, seemingly oblivious to the awkwardness, continued, "Where did you study economics?"

Qin Huai was clearly impatient. "Can't you understand human language?"

Ling Yue realized something was wrong and could clearly sense a malevolent aura emanating from him. Could it be that he was angry and about to summon a ghost?

Without thinking twice, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Ningxia aside.

"Damn it, why did you have to mess with that pervert?"

Normal people would run away as fast as they could!

What if he gets really upset and turns you into a ghost?

Ling Yue couldn't help but think of the girl who hanged herself at the Jing family's house. Wouldn't it be better to live a good life?

"He's not a pervert. I admire him and would like to discuss economics with him. Of course, it would be even better if we could talk about statistics as well."

Ling Yue: ……

I really can't refute your reasoning.

Just then, the wind chimes at the door rang.

Everyone fell silent.

Qin Huai laughed, "They've finally arrived."

He was sitting at the bar with his back to the door, but it was as if he had eyes in the back of his head; he quickly knew that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Ling Yue finally understood why Qin Huai hadn't left yet; he was waiting for someone.

However, it's really hard to say whether the person who came is a human or a ghost.
