The innkeeper straightened his beard, took a sip of tea, and said softly,

"Do you know that many places in the underworld were desolate?" the caretaker asked.

The boss of the clothing store, also known as the lady boss, nodded, "I know."

In addition to the Underworld and Ghost Capital, there are also the Thirteen Stations of the Underworld and so on. The rest of the places are almost blank, known as the wilderness.

In this barren land, there were many places where one could accumulate good karma. Although Ghost Capital was vast, with too many ghosts, it led to internal competition, making it difficult to accumulate good karma.

In addition, not all ghosts who died would go to the underworld. There would also be many wandering spirits, ghosts who do not reincarnate, and ghosts who escaped after committing crimes...

When there are many ghosts, there will be a rivers and lakes, a wilderness where the rules of the underworld cannot reach. Here, plundering, looting, and survival of the fittest are all norms.

"Until later, a Cultivating Ghost emerged and established another set of rules outside the underworld."

"He enclosed the area near the place where he could accumulate yin virtue, and built one ghost city after another, just like the ghost city we are in now, which was also established by him."

The land was dug by him, the house was built by him, and the prestige was consolidated by him.

This ghost market was the smallest in scale, and the majority of the gathered ghosts were ordinary ones. On weekdays, they mostly engaged in accumulating yin virtue, working, and going clubbing...

"But whether it is an ordinary ghost or a Cultivating Ghost, they all abide by the rules set by that person. On one hand, it is because of his formidable strength, and on the other hand, everyone needs a place to settle and survive."

The boss lady was surprised and said, "Longman, are you saying that this person... could it be the ancestor of little Yama!?"

Manager Longman nodded, "It is him! Raymond - the ancestor of the Fifth Hall, King of Hell in the underworld!"

At first, he didn't know him either. He was just in charge of the inn and had been working there for a long time. He knew about this person, but had never seen him.

"After the incident happened yesterday, I followed the boss to apologize to the King of Hell, only to find out that the old man standing there was Raymond."

"Raymond already had prestige in this barren land, and now that he has become the King of Hell's ancestor, the news should spread quickly - I mean, in the upper circles, his status will be even higher."

The wilderness is so vast that there are many Cultivating Ghosts who imitate Raymond's land acquisition and sell "local specialties", open restaurants, hold auctions, and open stores to do business. Some are dependent on Raymond, while others are stronger and independent. Sometimes, when the location of the territory is good, everyone wants to seize it, leading to conflicts.

"But now that he has this additional layer of identity, there will be more ghosts trying to curry favor with him in the future. If you want to keep your clothing store, it really just depends on his word!"

The entire ghost market was run by him. As long as he appeared, the restless Cultivating Ghosts lurking in the shadows wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Ms. White, both excited and delighted, stood up and said, "Then I will find a way to send the clothes to him!"

"However..." Ms. White looked at the manager and asked, "Why did Manager Longman suddenly come to give me advice? What do you want to gain from me?"

Manager Longman smirked and said, "Of course, I also have some ideas. Doing business, you know, requires a bit of cleverness, right?"

Seeing Ms. White nodding, he continued, "First of all, if you ever get involved with King of Hell or Raymond in the future, make sure to bring me along..."

"Secondly, your husband has already gone to hell, and now this clothing store is in your hands. You can't handle it alone, can you? I hope to invest and receive a 10% share of the monthly blessings dividend..."

In fact, he had another hidden purpose, which was that after the owner of the clothing store and those two evil ghosts were sentenced to hell, they were not allowed to bring anything with them.

In other words, the two Sunset Stones that Little Yama spent on buying clothes here before were returned to the landlady.

Sunset Stone, oh, that was something that could be cultivated. Good karma or whatever only worked for ordinary ghosts, even if they went crazy killing while cultivating, they couldn't obtain a single Sunset Stone.

If he could establish a good relationship with the boss's wife and make her feel grateful towards him, maybe they could sleep together.

When she loved him back then, it wouldn't be impossible for a Sunset Stone to come and practice, right?

The red boss had long seen through Li's third purpose.

Ah, some men are just so annoying. Not only do they want money, but they also want people.

They calculate to such an extent and still have the appearance of a hypocritical gentleman.

She had to invest and maintain, pay rent, and also pay employees' salaries.

Excluding these operating costs, she could only receive about 30% per month. As soon as he arrived, he took away 10%. In that case, she might as well use this dividend to please little Yama!

The boss in red thought about it and the more he thought, the more he felt it made sense.

Yes, Little Yama refused to accept those few clothes that were her treasured possessions because it was considered bribery and crossed her moral boundaries.

But would you be willing to offer her a 5% or even 10% bonus in order to get her help?

The money delivered to the door... I don't think anyone would refuse it, right?
