Chapter 527: The Servants (2/2)

That was why, when they opened the gates and saw the genuine and happy smile on their boss' face, they felt shocked, and their eyes filled with disbelief.

They could not believe that their stoic, and rather ruthless boss, was suddenly showing such enthusiasm for someone else. This enthusiasm was simply too different from anything they had ever seen before.

However, they did not believe that he was a fake ghost. He had the same overpowering strength and aura, and his appearance was exactly the same as before, so what they began wondering was about the identity of the guests.

These servants all thought that Lan was a robot, so he was not getting much attention. However, the female ghost and Xue Wei, were being observed with a great interest.

Xue Wei was considered average in strength when compared to the common ghost, and his strength could never be the cause of why the branch leader showed him such attention.

Another questionable thing was that ghosts had no family or memories of their lives when they were in the world of the living. They could not remember anything, so it was not possible that they had some connection to one another. Being interested in the other was also impossible, as the branch leader did not behave as one would if they were in love. Instead, he was being polite, humble, and admiring.

This was all very puzzling, but the servants dared not show their confusion, and instead, they followed their orders to show Xue Wei and the female ghost to a room each.

Xue Wei and Lan shared a room. Lan was stuck in his original form, and the size was so small that he could easily curl into a ball on the desk without interrupting or disturbing Xue Wei.

He continued to try and unravel his seal while Xue Wei sat on the bed and tried to increase his cultivation base.

Xue Wei had no intention of introducing Qi cultivation to the branch leader. This branch leader was already incredibly strong. He did not need to cultivate Qi, and even if he were to enter the world of the living, he would become a spirit. Hence Qi cultivation would be useless for him.

The ghosts did not need to eat or drink to sustain their bodies. Food was also not a thing that existed within the Ghost Realm, and water was only used for washing. Wine and the likes did not exist in the Ghost Realm either, as plants were nearly extinct.

As a result, Xue Wei stayed within his room for the following hours. He focused solely on refining the heaven and hearth essence, and further strengthened his cultivation base.

Lan's cultivation was also recovering rapidly. The seal was unraveling swiftly, and his cultivation base was slowly returning.
