77: Chapter 77 Using ghosts as fertilizer? This Vermilion Fruit is simply top-grade!

"Let me go! Let me go quickly!"

"I am the ghost boss from the mass grave south of the city! How dare you lay a hand on me?"

"Mommy! What kind of soil is this? It's eating my legs! Help!"

Inside the courtyard of Locust Tree Alley 44.

At this moment, it was like a chaotic farce of dancing demons.

Those wandering ghosts who had originally come seeking the Yin Qi were now regretting it so much their intestines were turning green.

They had originally thought they were here for a buffet.

But the moment they climbed over the wall, they were pinned to the ground by several "female Devil Heads" who were a hundred times more vicious than them.

Mary grabbed a green-faced ghost by the neck with disdain.

Like she was holding a trash bag, she casually tossed it into the spiritual field.

"Get in there! You're so ugly, it's embarrassing to even use you as fertilizer."

"Thump!"

As soon as the green-faced ghost hit the ground, the black spiritual soil seemed to come alive.

It instantly transformed into countless black tentacles, wrapping around its limbs and forcefully dragging it underground.

On the other side, Su Qingcheng's red silk ribbon wrapped up seven or eight little ghosts at once like zongzi, elegantly sending them into the soil.

Chu Ling was even more straightforward and brutal, kicking them one by one like playing Whac-A-Mole, stomping those ghosts trying to crawl out of the soil back in.

As for Jiang Yingxue, who had been quietly following Su Yang.

Although she didn't have such violent methods.

She emitted a bone-chilling cold from her body.

Wherever she passed, the little ghosts were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, then with a gentle push, they shattered into ice shards and fell into the field.

"Tsk tsk, the quality of ghosts this batch is not good."

Su Yang stood on the ridge of the field, watching the lively scene, and shook his head, still feeling unsatisfied.

Although he complained with his mouth, the scene before his eyes made him overjoyed.

With the infusion of these dozens of ghost "fertilizers."

Plus the endless supply of extreme Yin Qi from Liu Waner.

That vermilion fruit sapling, which was originally only half a meter tall, was now undergoing astonishing changes.

"Crack, crack—"

The trunk grew taller at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming thicker, and the bark took on a texture like red jade.

The originally unripe fruits swelled rapidly as if they had been inflated.

Their color changed from greenish, to light red, then to dark red, and finally turned into a translucent blood-red!

A rich, thick fruity fragrance burst forth instantly, covering all the Yin Qi and the scent of blood in the courtyard.

"Gulp..."

Liu Waner, who was holding the trunk, couldn't help but swallow.

So fragrant!

That fragrance was like a traveler in the desert smelling sweet spring water.

It made every cell in her body cheer and leap, longing to take a bite.

"It's done!"

Su Yang's eyes lit up, and he waved one hand.

"Stop!"

Liu Waner felt her hand lighten, and that suction force instantly vanished.

Her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, Su Yang was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing her by the waist.

"Well done. It seems you're a natural at farming."

Su Yang patted her shoulder appreciatively and then turned to look at the treetops.

He saw nine fist-sized, bright red, sparkling vermilion fruits hanging among the lush branches and leaves, emitting an alluring luster.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host! [Vermilion Fruit (Mutated)] has matured!"

"Due to absorbing a large amount of ghost essence and extreme Yin Qi, this vermilion fruit has undergone a positive mutation, named [Yin and Yang Blood Vermilion Fruit]!"

"Effect: Significantly boosts blood and Qi, nourishes Yin and supplements Yang, enhances beauty, and has a great nourishing effect on ghost bodies!"

"It mutated?"

Su Yang was overjoyed; this was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

He couldn't wait to pick one, wiped it casually on his clothes, and then...

"Crunch!"

Took a bite.

Juice overflowed!

"Refreshing!"

Su Yang felt all the pores on his body open up.

The Golden Core inside his body spun rapidly, and his Spiritual Qi surged significantly in an instant.

Seeing Su Yang eating so deliciously, the circle of people and ghosts around him were drooling with envy.

Zhou Mingyue clung to the window, drooling all over the floor.

Mary stared eagerly at the tree, her two fangs itching.

Even the usually aloof Su Qingcheng.

Couldn't help but let her gaze linger on those fruits.

"Alright, everyone gets a share."

Su Yang was in a great mood, waved his hand, and picked a few more.

"Mary, Qingcheng, Chu Ling, and Yingxue, you all worked hard just now, one for each of you."

"Thank you, Master! Long live the Master!"

Mary cheered and grabbed a fruit, stuffing it into her mouth.

Jiang Yingxue took the vermilion fruit, and a faint smile appeared on her usually cold and frosty face, as she curtsied to Su Yang: "Thank you, Young Master."

Although she didn't speak much, her eyes looking at Su Yang were full of tenderness.

After distributing them to his own people, Su Yang picked another vermilion fruit and handed it to Liu Waner.

"Here, this is your pay."

"For... for me?"

Liu Waner was flattered and pointed to herself, "But... I didn't do anything just now, I just stood there..."

"You are the number one contributor."

Su Yang stuffed the fruit into her hand.

"This fruit absorbed your cold Qi, it shares the same source as you, so it can help you regulate your body."

"Eat it, and you shouldn't feel cold for the next half month."

"Re... really?"

Liu Waner held the warm vermilion fruit, her eyes slightly red.

She took a small, careful bite.

The next second, her eyes widened suddenly.

That bone-deep cold that had plagued her for over a decade.

At the moment she swallowed that bite of fruit flesh, it melted away rapidly like snow meeting the scorching sun!

In its place was an unprecedented warmth and lightness.

"I'm not cold anymore... I'm really not cold anymore!"

Liu Waner was so excited she almost cried.

She finished the rest of the fruit in a few bites, feeling her body filled with strength.

Even her pale face became rosy and delicate.

"Thank you... thank you, Boss!"

At this moment, in her eyes looking at Su Yang.

Besides gratitude, there was an extra hint of strange luster.

This man who looked bad and liked to tease people had actually cured her "incurable disease"!

"No need to thank me, just remember to be diligent in the future."

Su Yang waved his hand and threw the last one to Zhou Mingyue, who was clinging to the window.

"Catch! Don't say the boss treated you badly."

"Wow! Thank you, Boss! The boss is generous!" Zhou Mingyue treated it like a treasure.

...

Just at this moment.

"Buzz—!!!"

Inside Su Yang's System space.

That gluttonous golden egg started vibrating again.

And this time it vibrated particularly violently, even carrying a hint of... grievance?

What about me? Where's mine? You're all eating alone! The baby is suffering inside!

Su Yang: "..."

He glanced at the tree, there were nine fruits in total, six were distributed, he ate one himself, and there were two left.

"Alright, alright, you're the ancestor."

Su Yang was helpless and had to pick another one and throw it into the System space.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The sound of chewing fruit came from the space, and immediately after, the golden egg seemed satisfied and let out a burp.

It not only stopped vibrating but instead fed back a more pure spiritual power to Su Yang.

"Ding! The Divine Beast egg absorbed one [Yin and Yang Blood Vermilion Fruit]!"

"Hatching progress increased to: 20%!"

"The progress bar finally moved."

Su Yang looked at the last remaining vermilion fruit on the tree and sighed.

"Even a landlord has no surplus grain."

"Looks like I need to farm more land, otherwise this whole family plus a gold-swallowing beast will eat me into poverty sooner or later."

The night grew deeper.

In the courtyard of Locust Tree Alley 44, although it had just experienced a "human-ghost war," it was now filled with a strange yet warm atmosphere.

Meanwhile, at the Jiangzhou City Central Hospital a few kilometers away.

Inside the special care ward.

Wang Sen, who had just finished bone-setting surgery, was lying on the hospital bed groaning.

Suddenly, the hospital ward window was blown open by a gust of Yin wind.

A black shadow floated in silently and stopped at his bedside.

"Who?!"

Wang Sen was startled and wanted to press the call button.

But a cold, withered hand pressed against his throat first.

"Shh—"

A hoarse and unpleasant voice came from the black shadow, like fingernails scratching across glass.

"Do you want revenge?"

"Do you want to make that Su Yang... wish he were dead?"
