41: Chapter 41 Signing the Red-Clad Bride! These days, even ghosts have to sign labor contracts!

"A... a slave contract?"

The Red-Clothed Female Ghost was stunned, a flicker of bewilderment flashing through her pitch-black eyes.

Although she had been dead for quite some years, her memories from when she was alive were still stuck in that dog-eat-dog old society.

She had heard of selling oneself to bury a father, but selling oneself to find someone... that was a first.

"That's right, it's an employment contract."

Su Yang spoke nonsense with a straight Face, and at some point, a yellow paper contract emitting a golden light appeared in his hand.

"As long as you sign it, you'll be my person... oh wait, my ghost."

"Room and board are included. There's no social insurance, but there's plenty of incense and paper money."

"Most importantly, I will take you to find that heartless man who tricked you into coming here and sealed you inside the pillar."

Although Su Yang's voice was calm, every word pierced her heart.

"He... he is not a heartless man!"

The ghost's emotions suddenly became agitated, and the surrounding Yin Qi began to churn again, as if she were unwilling to believe it.

"He said... he would come to save me..."

"Save you? Nailing you inside a pillar for decades, taking your life-buying money to marry and have children—is this what you call saving you?"

Su Yang sneered, mercilessly shattering her illusions.

"Wake up, you silly woman. Work with me, and I'll take you to find his Reincarnation. Whether to kill him or slice him up, I'll let you do it yourself. Once you've vented your anger, you'll honestly be my ghost from then on. How about it?"

The ghost looked at Su Yang's deep and confident eyes, remaining silent for a long time.

She had been trapped in this pitch-black concrete pillar for too long.

Under Su Yang's questioning, that obsession finally wavered, transforming into endless grievance and monstrous hatred.

Since that man had betrayed her, she no longer needed to keep that ridiculous vow.

The man before her was terrifyingly strong; perhaps he could truly help her resolve this Karma.

"Fine."

The ghost slowly nodded, her voice still hoarse, but with a hint of determination.

"I want to find him... and personally dig out his heart to see if it really is black..."

"That's right. We're all adult ghosts; you have to know when to yield."

Su Yang chuckled and pointed to the bottom of the contract. "Come on, press your handprint."

The ghost extended her pale hand and gently pressed it onto the golden contract.

Hum! A golden light flashed, and the contract instantly transformed into two streams of light that shot into the center of Su Yang's and the ghost's brows respectively.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for subduing the Red-Clothed Vicious Ghost (Mutated) and successfully signing the Master-Servant Contract!"

"Please name your new ghost servant."

"Since you're wearing a wedding dress and I found you in this building..."

Su Yang rubbed his chin. He had wanted to give her a name like "Building Flower" or "Cement Sister," but seeing the disdainful looks from Su Qingcheng and Chu Ling, he changed his mind.

"Let's call you—Jiang Yingxue."

"Jiang Yingxue... Yingxue..."

The ghost muttered to herself, seemingly recalling something, and the blood tears at the corners of her eyes gradually stopped.

"Thank you, Master, for the name."

As the contract took effect, a miraculous scene occurred.

The originally tattered and filth-covered wedding dress on Jiang Yingxue began to repair itself automatically, becoming as bright red as fire, and the embroidered golden Phoenix on it shone brilliantly.

And her Face, which had been covered in cracks like broken porcelain, healed rapidly under the nourishment of the golden light.

The cracks disappeared, and her skin became as smooth and clean as jade.

Although still deathly pale, it exuded a sort of sickly, poignant beauty.

Those originally pitch-black eyes also regained their whites, turning into a pair of misty, watery peach blossom eyes.

Beautiful! Extremely beautiful!

Unlike the domineering coldness of Su Qingcheng, and unlike the noble haughtiness of Chu Ling.

Jiang Yingxue's beauty was a kind of classical, gentle, yet fragile beauty with a hint of brokenness.

It made one want to protect her at a single glance, and also want to... bully her fiercely.

"Tsk tsk, I've struck gold."

Su Yang circled around Jiang Yingxue, his gaze scanning without restraint over her exquisite curves wrapped in the wedding dress.

Although it was a traditional, loose wedding dress, it still couldn't hide those proud curves.

Especially the waist-cinching design, which displayed her slender, willow-like waist to perfection.

"This figure, this temperament... taking her out as a fighter in the future will be so good for my Face!"

"Master..."

Jiang Yingxue felt a bit embarrassed by Su Yang's gaze and lowered her head slightly; that shy charm made one's heart ripple.

"Ahem, alright, we're all family now."

Su Yang withdrew his gaze—mainly because Su Qingcheng had pinched the soft flesh on his waist—and looked at the group of ghost workers still kneeling on the ground, shivering.

"As for you lot..."

Those dozens of evil ghosts wearing hard hats immediately tensed up, terrified that this fierce star would hammer them all into transcendence.

"Since you like building so much, I can't let this skill go to waste."

Su Yang pulled a business card from his pocket and threw it to the Foreman Ghost.

"Locust Tree Alley 44, Celestial Master Agency."

"They're doing renovations there and need a construction team."

"Go report there now and find a receptionist named The lead female ghost to register."

"Remember, if you dare to slack off, or dare to scare the neighbors..."

Lightning flashed in Su Yang's hand.

"I'll let you taste what the care of the Thunder Dharma King is like!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We'll definitely go! We'll definitely work hard!"

The Foreman Ghost felt as if he had been granted an amnesty. He quickly led his brothers away, thanking him profusely, then transformed into a gust of cold wind and scrambled towards Locust Tree Alley.

As long as they didn't experience Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, what was a little renovation work? They would even be willing to unclog sewers!

...

After handling things on the top floor, Su Yang took his "harem" and Zhou Mingyue, rode the elevator that hadn't been fixed yet, and descended all the way to the ground floor.

As soon as they walked out of the building, they saw the construction site entrance brightly lit.

Several luxury cars were parked there, and a group of people were gathered together, the atmosphere somewhat anxious.

Among them, a pot-bellied middle-aged man in a suit was wiping his forehead, sweating profusely, and looking anxiously toward the building.

He was the developer of Jinding Building—Wang Baiwan.

Behind him, two rows of bodyguards in black suits all looked tense, clearly intimidated by the thunder that had come from the roof just moments ago.
