103: Chapter 103 Ghost King's Inner Core? Crunchy! Buy a Simmons mattress for the Zombie Princess!

“Simmons mattress?”

Looking at Chu Ling’s earnest expression, Su Yang’s mouth twitched twice.

A dignified thousand-year-old zombie, a princess of the Great Chu imperial family, refusing to sleep in a top-tier Yin-sinking wood coffin, and insisting on sleeping on a human spring mattress?

This was just too... down-to-earth, right?

“What? Is that not okay?”

Chu Ling pouted, floated in front of Su Yang, and tugged at his sleeve, acting spoiled.

“Coffin lids are too hard, and my back hurts after sleeping on them for a long time. Besides, Sister Yuqing said that girls should treat themselves better, sleep on soft beds, and hug big teddy bear dolls!”

“Fine, fine, fine, I’ll buy it! I’ll buy ten!”

Su Yang sighed helplessly and rubbed his forehead.

“When we get back, I’ll have Yuqing order the most expensive one for you, it has to be latex, the anti-mite and antibacterial kind.”

“Yay! The boss is the best!”

Chu Ling cheered. If she wasn’t worried that the corpse Qi on her body would freeze Su Yang, she would have loved to pounce on him and give him a kiss.

After pacifying this little ancestor, Su Yang turned his head to look at the dilapidated ghost ship on the river, which was still emitting thick Yin Qi.

Although this ship had been turned into a hedgehog by the Myriad Sword Technique, its main structure was still intact.

That was thousand-year-old Yin-sinking wood, a top-tier Materials for Artifact Refining even in the Immortal Realm, worth its weight in gold.

“System, recycle!”

Su Yang waved his hand.

Hum—!

A white light flashed, and the giant ghost ship, which was three stories high, instantly disappeared, having been collected into the System’s storage space.

“Let’s go, let’s go home.”

“I’m hungry after that fight tonight.”

...

5:00 AM.

Although it wasn’t dawn yet, Locust Tree Alley 44 was still brightly lit.

Ye Yuqing, Liu Waner, Zhou Mingyue, and Reba, four great beauties, none of them had slept; they were all wrapped in blankets, sitting in the courtyard, anxiously looking at the gate.

The terrifying thunder and the strange phenomena throughout the city just now, although resolved by Su Yang, left a lingering feeling of palpitation.

“Creak—”

The main gate was pushed open.

“I’m back.”

Su Yang stepped into the courtyard, followed by the unscathed and even somewhat excited “non-human legion.”

“Su Yang!”

“Boss!”

Seeing Su Yang return safely, the women breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around him.

“How is it? Did that old monster die?” Reba was the most nervous, after all, that was her creditor.

“Dead, not even dregs left.”

Su Yang took off his jacket, handed it to Mary, walked to the stone table, sat down, and poured himself a glass of water.

“From today on, Jiangzhou is peaceful.”

“That’s great!”

Reba was so excited that tears were about to fall.

She finally didn’t have to worry about suddenly turning into a bug or being sucked dry into a human husk one day.

“By the way, Yuqing.”

Su Yang took a sip of water, remembering what he had promised Chu Ling.

“Tomorrow... oh no, during the day today, you go to the furniture store.”

“Buy a bed for Chu Ling, get the best Simmons mattress, and buy some dolls to decorate her coffin shop... ahem, her room.”

“Ah?” Ye Yuqing was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chu Ling floating in the air, “Zombies... also need to sleep on beds?”

“Times have changed, we must keep up with the times.”

Su Yang shrugged.

“Also, buy some new furniture for everyone. We have money now, so don’t skimp.”

“Alright! Leave it to me!”

Although Ye Yuqing felt it was strange, she readily agreed.

After handling family matters, Su Yang took out the jet-black bead from his pocket—the [Ghost King Core].

As soon as it was taken out, the temperature in the courtyard dropped by several degrees instantly.

“Such pure Yin Qi!”

“Awooo!!!”

A milky, fierce roar came from the house.

The next second, a golden lightning bolt rushed out, landed precisely on the stone table, staring fixedly at the bead in Su Yang’s hand, drool dripping all over the table.

It was Rice Bucket, who had been cooped up in the room.

“Alright, alright, I saved it for you.”

Su Yang laughed and knocked on its head, handing over the core.

“Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

“Crunch!”

Rice Bucket didn’t know what politeness was at all.

It bit the core, which was larger than its mouth, and chewed hard.

With a crisp sound, the extremely hard Ghost King Core was directly bitten to pieces.

A massive burst of black energy instantly erupted, attempting to backlash.

But a golden light flashed on Rice Bucket’s body, and the Yin-evil Qi, which was enough to poison an elephant, was instantly converted into pure spiritual power, and it gulped it down.

“Hiccup~”

After eating the core, Rice Bucket let out a satisfied burp. Its body, originally only the size of a palm, began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Golden light swirled, scales grew.

In just a few minutes, it grew from the size of a Chihuahua to the size of an adult Golden Retriever!

The horn, which was just a lump of flesh, had now completely hardened, turning into a crystal-clear jade color, with wisps of lightning entwined around it.

Majestic and auspicious!

“Ding! Divine Beast [Pixiu] devoured the Ghost King Core, entering the growth stage!”

“Unlocked new skills: [Auspicious Light] (can purify all negative states within a hundred meters), [Thunder Roar] (spits out Yang Thunder, shocking demons)!”

“Good guy, this is more like a Divine Beast.”

Su Yang reached out and touched Rice Bucket’s scales, which had become harder; they felt cold like jade, very comfortable.

“Awooo~”

Rice Bucket seemed very satisfied with its new look, raised its head and let out a call; the sound was no longer the previous milky voice, but a low roar with a hint of majesty.

It shook the fur on its body, and then...

It turned and pounced on the pile of snacks Ye Yuqing had just bought, continuing to be a happy foodie.

“...”

Su Yang was speechless.

Sure enough, the body size changed, but the foodie nature remained the same.

“Alright, everyone has been busy all night, go and rest.”

Su Yang stood up and stretched.

“Tomorrow... no, today is a day off, everyone is free to do as they please.”

“Yuqing, remember to take Waner and the others shopping to calm their nerves. Young Master Su will pay for all expenses.”

“Long live the boss!”

The women cheered and dispersed.

Su Yang looked at the gradually quieting courtyard, at the Black Demon Flower swaying in the morning breeze, and at the Divine Beast lying on the pile of snacks and snoring, a feeling of unprecedented satisfaction surged in his heart.

This is life.

Fight monsters, level up, raise pets, farm.

Tease the ghost girl when bored, flirt with the big star.

Wouldn’t trade it for being an immortal!

However...

Su Yang’s gaze looked into the distance.

Although Ghost Granny was dead, the “Black Witchcraft Cult” behind her, and that mysterious organization that had never appeared, probably wouldn’t just let it go.

“Come on.”

“No matter who it is, as long as they dare to reach out, I will chop it off.”

Su Yang curled his lips into a confident smile and turned back to his room.

He was going to sleep until he woke up naturally!
