Chapter 864: 864
“Long Chen, can you grow up a bit? Don’t mess around . ” Yue Xiaoqian looked at the round thing in Long Chen’s hand . That was a gold coin .
“Hehe, everyone says that money can make even ghosts do work . Let’s try it!” laughed Long Chen .
Yue Xiaoqian sighed . Sometimes Long Chen made her absolutely speechless . He actually wanted to bribe a ghost .
“Little ghost, come over . Big brother has a big pile of money here . Do you want it? Do you want to make some money?” Long Chen’s voice was full of excitement . Yue Xiaoqian felt gooseb.u.mps . This seduction was too obvious .
“Long Chen, don’t mess around!” reprimanded Yue Xiaoqian . But she had just finished saying that when a disbelieving expression appeared on her face . That ghost actually slowly approached Long Chen .
“Come, don’t be afraid . Tell big brother what’s going on here . I have lots and lots of money for you . Once you have money, you won’t be alone . You can buy a house and marry some beautiful ghosts . You can stay in your ghost room all day and listen to your ghost women tell you ghost stories . Heavens, that kind of blessed ghost day really makes a person envious . ” Seeing the ghost slowly get closer, Long Chen was delighted . Nonsense continued to spout from his mouth .
Yue Xiaoqian was flabbergasted . Even though she thought of herself as educated, this kind of situation had escaped the scope of her learning . Could money really make even ghosts do work?
Long Chen didn’t feel any fear as the ghost approached him . He didn’t feel any feeling of danger, and Yue Xiaoqian had also said that ghosts were just manifestations of greed . If a person wasn’t intensely greedy, they couldn’t be possessed .
A shadow appeared on Long Chen’s hand . It was like a hand, and it grabbed the coin . The coin floated into the air and then vanished .
Long Chen and Yue Xiaoqian were shocked . What was going on? The coin had disappeared without the slightest spatial fluctuation . This situation was bizarre .
“Hey, don’t leave once you take my money!” raged Long Chen . The ghost had used some unknown method to take his coin and then retreated to its original location .
That was extremely irritating to Long Chen, and lightning runes appeared on his finger . He pointed at the ghost, shouting, “Hand back my money!”
Crackling sounds filled the air, and the ghost seemed to have been frightened . It disappeared .
“f.u.c.k, I lost a gold coin just like that?” raged Long Chen .
Yue Xiaoqian was silent for a long moment before suddenly saying, “I think I’ve figured something out . Ghosts are unable to differentiate the value of money . It was only drawn over to your gold coin because it was contaminated with too many people’s desires . That is what it sensed, and it thinks it’s something good for it . Don’t get angry . This idea of yours is good . Take out another gold coin and see if you can draw it back . ”
“Will that work? It looks like it has already fled,” said Long Chen . But he still took out a golden coin . These gold coins were from the Phoenix Cry Empire . He only kept them as memorabilia .
“Don’t worry, ghosts have no intelligence . As manifestations of greed, they quickly forget any danger,” said Yue Xiaoqian .
As she had expected, the black figure slowly appeared . It quickly appeared in front of Long Chen again . This time, Long Chen had learned from last time . He held onto the coin tightly, not letting it take it away no matter how it pulled .
“Ka Ni Yi Gu Ka Qi Lu . ” Yue Xiaoqian suddenly said a string of bizarre syllables .
“Xiaoqian, you know how to speak ghost?” Long Chen was shocked .
Even a peaceful person like Yue Xiaoqian couldn’t bear such a thing . She hit him in fury, saying, “You’re the one speaking ghost! I’m using these tones to see if I can communicate with it using Spiritual Strength . If you don’t understand, then don’t speak!”
Long Chen was amazed by her knowledge . How did she know this?
Yue Xiaoqian repeated it three times, but the ghost ignored her . It was still trying to take the gold coin from Long Chen’s hand, but with Long Chen’s tight hold over it, it was unable to .
But on the fourth time that Yue Xiaoqian repeated it, her eyes suddenly brightened . “Long Chen, give this coin to it and then take out another one . But don’t give that one to it for now . ”
Hearing that, Long Chen let go . Yet again, he still couldn’t figure out how the gold coin simply vanished . He took out a second one .
Yue Xiaoqian immediately began to communicate with it . Long Chen didn’t know what she was saying . It sounded like nonsense to him .
Following her instructions, he ended up giving the ghost a total of eight gold coins before it suddenly moved . Yue Xiaoqian pulled on Long Chen, following the ghost .
“What’s going on?” whispered Long Chen .
“I managed to communicate with it, and it will bring us to the core region of the trial . All we need to do is give it some money . Long Chen, this idea of yours really was brilliant . We can just let the ghost lead the way,” said Yue Xiaoqian excitedly .
“Hehe, you praise me . If it weren’t for your communication ability, this method of mine wouldn’t have worked either . I don’t know how to speak ghost,” laughed Long Chen .
