Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Mengmeng: I Want to Promote Yun Zhenyue to Assistant Manager

The turn of events was too abrupt.

The Dragon Country audience was stunned silent.

Just a moment ago, they thought they were all on the same side.

But in the blink of an eye, the general manager was killed?

Even the yaksha who slandered Mengmeng was turned to ice shards in an instant.

Such ruthless and domineering methods, without a hint of hesitation.

It shocked the entire audience!

But what everyone found most unbelievable...

...was that the cold-looking ghost actually called Yun Zhenyue "Venerable Master’s wife"?

Gu Yuan’s organization was actually real?

And the one who killed two ghosts with a wave of his hand was just a low-level member?

He even called himself a nobody, unworthy of Gu Yuan’s notice.

That guy is at least a low-level Evil Star!

What kind of nobody is an Evil Star?

Didn’t you see how arrogant the Elephant Country’s yaksha became after evolving into an Evil Star?

He truly had the right to act that way!

In everyone’s eyes, an Evil Star is the real deal!

If one appeared in a real-world country, it would be no less than possessing a new nuclear weapon. Even a small nation with one could join the ranks of global superpowers!

That’s the confidence an Evil Star brings!

[Gu Yuan... is actually the Venerable Master of that Nightmare Hunter organization, holy shit!]

[I’ve never heard of this organization. Damn, an Evil Star is just a low-level member?]

[I wonder which organization is stronger, them or the Monster Talk Foundation.]

[Are you an idiot? The leader of the Monster Talk Foundation is only an Evil Star. How can they compare to Gu Yuan’s organization?]

[Hunting ghosts to forge a thousand nightmares... their style is on another level!]

[My god, he said he’s going to call other members. Don’t tell me they’re all top-tier Crimson-robed Ghosts?]

...

At this moment, the audience from Elephant Country looked grim.

No one expected Yun Zhenyue to escape a fatal situation yet again.

It had been a situation of certain death.

This ice-wielding ghost actually called her "Venerable Master’s wife"?

The bullshit Gu Yuan was spouting, which they had mocked, had actually come true!

Ah Sha’s strongest ghost was only a Crimson-robed Ghost.

But one of their subordinates is an Evil Star.

How the hell can you compare that?

They were just trying to exploit a bug, but the other side went and turned on the cheat codes!

Most of the Elephant Country audience were dark-skinned to begin with.

Now, seeing this, their faces were turning black as charcoal!

[This is unfair! That Dragon Country woman brought her own subordinate! Report her!]

[Shut up, Lady Ah Sha brought the yaksha too.]

[One Evil Star isn’t enough, and now he wants to bring more ghosts? Is this a mission or what?]

[This shows a complete lack of sincerity. A gift without heart will be punished by the gods.]

[I have used Astrology. Miss Ah Sha will be the true victor in the end.]

...

At this moment, Mengmeng’s bright, watery eyes were still dazed.

It was as if she’d been hit by a paralysis spell.

Like a startled fawn, her lips parted to reveal two small canine teeth. Her slender fingers unconsciously clutched the hem of her white lace skirt, crumpling the trim in her sweaty palm.

Mengmeng had been watching the whole time but hadn’t dared to speak.

The place was full of Crimson-robed Ghosts and Evil Stars.

A little Fierce Ghost like her was nothing but small fry.

That was until she saw that ice-cold ghost instantly obliterate the general manager!

That was the general manager of the Fierce Ghost Mall!

He usually exploited shopkeepers like them to the extreme!

He was arrogant and never gave them a second glance.

Who could do anything? He was a Crimson-robed Ghost.

And he was the mall owner’s right-hand man.

No one dared to provoke the general manager; they would always try to suck up to him only to be met with a cold shoulder.

She had previously saved up a month’s worth of ghost coins and offered it to him, hoping he would help her post a missing person notice. But the general manager didn’t even say thank you and disdainfully threw the notice in the trash.

’This figure, who was like an emperor to them, had actually humbled himself to beg for his life?’

’And he was killed anyway!!!’

’The mall executives standing nearby didn’t even dare to fart!’

’Just how terrifying is that organization called Nightmare Hunter?’

’The little shop assistant I casually hired is the wife of that organization’s Venerable Master?’

Mengmeng felt her head spin.

As if she had gotten drunk on too much milk.

And in that moment, she made a firm decision!

’I’ll promote Yun Zhenyue to assistant manager!’

’If she’s here, no one will dare to bully me anymore.’

...

"Mr. Ji."

Just then, Yu Honghui turned to the person beside him, a look of apology on his face.

"This has nothing to do with you. I killed this manager, and he deserved to die."

"Even if it weren’t me, any other member of the organization would have done the same."

"I must protect the Venerable Master’s wife now, so please forgive me for not being able to accompany you. When I have time in the future, I will visit you to make amends."

Hearing this, Mr. Ji shook his head in a panic.

He would never dare act so proudly in front of the Nightmare Hunting Venerable Master’s wife.

He was simply aghast at Yu Honghui’s actions.

It gave him a new understanding of the Nightmare Hunter’s methods.

"It’s no trouble. You two go ahead. I will take my leave now."

Mr. Ji noticed the distance in Yu Honghui’s eyes. A bitter smile touched his lips; his poor attitude earlier had likely cost him a golden opportunity.

’If only I had known her identity sooner.’

’If I had protected her with my life just now!’

’I might have had a real chance to join Nightmare Hunter.’

’But anything I say now would seem too deliberate.’

Mr. Ji sighed deeply and said to the mall executives, "If the mall owner gets angry, just have him come find me. This matter started because of me, so I will be the one to apologize to him."

Apologize?

’Apologize my ass!!’

These executives all realized how noble Yun Zhenyue’s status was.

A person whom even Mr. Yu would carefully protect.

The wife of the Venerable Master!

’So what if the general manager is dead!’

’Given the mall owner’s personality, he would never cause trouble over this.’

’If anything, they were the beneficiaries.’

’Getting on good terms with that lady is the top priority right now!’

"It’s fine, it’s fine, this is just a small matter."

"That’s right, the general manager should have died long ago!"

"A good kill! We couldn’t stand the sight of him!"

"We’ve troubled you, milord. I’ll go mop the floor right now, so these ice shards don’t get in your way."

The crowd of ghosts hurriedly tried to placate them.

One went so far as to find a mop, sweep up the ice shards in front of Mengmeng’s shop, bend down to wipe the floor dry with his sleeve, and even sprayed a bottle of expensive perfume, fearing the smell of blood might pollute the air.

Seeing this, all the executives rushed over to clean, hoping only to leave a good impression on Yun Zhenyue.

This shameless display left Mengmeng dumbfounded.

’Are these still the same mall executives who look down their noses at everyone?’

’I’d believe you if you told me they were the little eunuchs surrounding the emperor!’

’It seems assistant manager isn’t enough.’

Mengmeng was a little troubled. ’Should I just give the shop owner position to Yun Zhenyue?’

Just as these executives were racking their brains thinking of how to curry favor with Yun Zhenyue...

...Ah Sha came down from the fifth floor in the elevator.

She had just sent her subordinate, the yaksha, to poach customers. After waiting for a long time without him returning, she assumed he was slacking off. Annoyed, she came downstairs to poach customers herself.

In any case, she couldn’t let Yun Zhenyue’s shop get a single customer!

"Hm?"

When Ah Sha arrived on the first floor and saw the large group of ghosts cleaning in front of Mengmeng’s shop, as well as Yun Zhenyue and Mengmeng standing at the entrance, she was puzzled.

’This shop can’t sell a single piece of clothing all day, and they have money to hire cleaners?!’

’Are they neat freaks or something?’

’They must have too much money and nothing to do with it.’

Just then, a ghost customer approached from not far away.

Ah Sha stopped paying attention to them.

"Hey handsome, the clothes in the shops on the first floor are all trash. They’re beneath someone of your status."

"The owner of this particular shop is especially greedy. She’ll sell you a 10 ghost-coin outfit for 100. Why not go up to the fifth floor? I’m an employee there, I can give you a discount."

Ah Sha immediately went to the customer’s side, grabbed his arm, and said softly.

"I don’t have many ghost coins... Maybe I’ll just skip it and look around on the first floor," the customer said, troubled.

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Just go take a look on the fifth floor first. Whatever you do, don’t buy clothes here. It’s easy to get ripped off."

Ah Sha persuaded him earnestly.

The customer was moved by her words and reluctantly prepared to go upstairs.

But just then!

Before she could even pull the customer upstairs...

"Stop!"

A voice full of anger rang out from the distance.

Ah Sha frowned.

She turned to see that those "cleaners" were actually coming to make trouble for her.

’They’re not the manager, so what business is it of theirs if I’m poaching customers?’

’A bunch of cleaners, and they’re all dressed so formally.’

’In suits and ties, no less.’

’What’s wrong with them!’
