Chapter 547: Beasts and Ghosts (1/2)

Mo Lian leaned against the back of the chair in a languid and alluring manner. When one looked at her, she was truly the complete opposite of the woman on the drawing, but neither she, nor the branch leader felt any worry due to this.

They had braced the danger of entering the Ghost Realm for the sake of bringing her back. Even if her personality had changed, it was very unlikely that they would abandon her.

”So, tell me about the one who has come to pick me up! How does he look?”

Mo Lian was a person who liked beauty. It was natural that she wanted her so-called savior to look good, and she was already starting to imagine the most attractive person possible within her mind.

However, when she asked this question, she noticed that the branch leader's face turned somewhat awkward.

He could not help but cough slightly as he placed his hand above his lips, trying to hide the smile on his face.

”Well, it happens to be some sort of beast. I think it is a snake.”

Silence descended on the hall as it took quite a long time before the words managed to take root in her mind.

”A snake?” Mo Lian was full of disbelief, her eyes widening in shock. Was this some kind of joke?

”Ah, yeah. He came alongside a young living human. At first, I was of the impression that it was the human who was looking for you, and that the snake was his contracted pet, but after spending some time alongside them, it seems that the snake is actually not a pet.

”As far as I understand, this snake had a human shape back in the world of the living, but to enter the Ghost Realm, he put some sort of seal on his strength, which also sealed up his human shape.”

The branch leader would be lying if he said that he did not find the whole situation amusing.

Everyone knew that Mo Lian preferred good-looking ghosts. All the people who worked for her had to have an attractive face, but now she was told that her savior was a snake. How was she supposed to react to this?

While beasts did not exist in the Ghost Realm, the ones at the very top of the strength scale had the chance to meet the guardians of the ghost realm, the ox-headed man, and other half-human creatures.
