The Taoist Boss Is Dominating The Horror World - Chapter 62

Jin Chen’s right eyelid twitched non-stop upon hearing Qing Li’s voice, and then his left eyelid joined in.

Left eye twitching means wealth, right eye twitching means disaster, both twitching means calamity comes from the sky.

A bad premonition arose!

“Manager, are you standing at the door waiting for me?” Qing Li stopped her scooter just in time, greeting Jin Chen enthusiastically.

Jin Chen’s expression was indescribable; he almost gritted his teeth and said, “You actually came back alive?”

“So, Manager, you were really worried about my safety? I thought you wished I was dead out there!” Qing Li, moved, wiped away non-existent tears.

Jin Chen, who indeed wished Qing Li was dead: “……”

“Did you get the fifth good review?” Jin Chen asked coldly.

Qing Li shook her head, evasively answering, “No.”

Hearing this, Jin Chen’s voice instantly filled with pleasure: “Good, since you didn’t achieve it, as I said before, you are—fired from the restaurant.”

So… go back where you came from, and quickly!

“Manager, although I didn’t get five good reviews, I have something good that I think can replace my fifth good review.”

Qing Li’s face in the dim light at the restaurant’s entrance looked mysterious, piquing Jin Chen’s interest.

“What is it?” Jin Chen blurted out.

Qing Li looked left and right, sneaking around like a thief, “Manager, there are too many people here, let’s go somewhere more private, or I’m afraid some ghostly creature might snatch it.”

Seeing her so cautious, Jin Chen became even more interested.

“Follow me.”

Jin Chen turned and walked into the restaurant, leading Qing Li through twists and turns to a closed office.

“Now you can take out that thing.”

Jin Chen sat in the office chair, elbows on the desk, fingers interlaced, waiting with interest for Qing Li to hurry up and reveal the mysterious item.

In the next moment, Qing Li reached into her cotton jacket pocket and pulled out a bloody piece of meat.

The meat was fresh, blood dripping from Qing Li’s fingers.

And at the sight of the meat, Jin Chen felt his head boom, nearly falling off the chair.

The aura on this…

This familiar yet terrifying aura…

“Could this piece of meat be…”

Jin Chen hesitates to speak, afraid to hear the answer.

He worries he won’t be able to bear it.

Qing Li innocently says, “Manager, this is the meat of a half-fierce ghost. Although it’s just a small piece, it’s greatly beneficial for you. Can I use this meat in place of the fifth good review?”

Her clear eyes blink, full of hope.

It’s known that ghosts don’t just eat humans, they also devour their own kind to strengthen their ghostly power.

The meat of a half-fierce is hugely attractive to ordinary ghosts.

If it were just an ordinary piece of half-fierce meat, Jin Chen would have agreed, but the familiar aura from this piece makes him feel like he’s falling into an abyss.

“What did you do to the owner of the White Bone Manor?” he asks anxiously.

Qing Li points to the piece of meat in her hand, the answer obvious.

“Manager, isn’t she right here?”

“…”

Seeing Jin Chen’s expression worse than if he had eaten something terrible, Qing Li comforts him, “Don’t worry, Manager. I didn’t kill her. She chose to self-destruct to escape, blowing up half of her body. As a restaurant employee, I couldn’t ignore such quality ingredients, so I packed up her meat to offer you a corner piece as a tribute.”

Jin Chen’s expression is numb: “Thank you for being so considerate.”

And it’s just a corner piece, how generous indeed.

Qing Li smiles naively: “You’re welcome.”

“Meeting you in this life must have used up all the good karma from my ancestors.”

Jin Chen runs his hands through his hair, his face the picture of despondence.

No, he needs to run away fast.

Otherwise, when the family behind the owner of the White Bone Manor comes after him, he’ll surely be skinned and made into skewers.

Jin Chen rushes out of his office to the main dining hall and announces loudly: “Dear guests, I’m sorry, but our restaurant will be permanently closed from today. We will refund today’s meal costs to every customer. Please leave quickly.”

The ghosts in the restaurant grumble, but Jin Chen drives them all out.

Since he’s no longer in business, there’s no need to be polite to these ghosts.

“Manager Jin, what happened? Why are we closing the restaurant?” The cashier ghost asks, heartbroken.

“Manager Jin, did you encounter some trouble? You can tell us, and we’ll solve it together,” says a waiter ghost, reluctant to leave.

“Manager Jin, no matter what happens, we’ll always stand by you,” pledges a chef ghost, loyal to the core.

Jin Chen’s eyes flicker, moved by his employees’ words.

“Manager Jin.”

It’s Qing Li’s turn. She looks eagerly at Jin Chen, her clear black-and-white eyes now mixed with countless emotions.

Jin Chen felt an unusual sensation and said softly, “Never mind, this isn’t your fault. It was my mistake to let you deliver food.”

The situation was irreparable, and he couldn’t place all the blame on this human.

Of course, a bigger reason was that he couldn’t defeat a human who could even cripple a half-fierce creature.

Qing Li blinked her confused eyes and asked, “Manager Jin, I haven’t received my salary for the past two days yet?”

Jin Chen: “…”

Go to hell, human.

As the restaurant’s door closed, the live stream audience was still trying to grasp the situation.

?Why close the restaurant suddenly? What outrageous thing did the little village girl do this time??

?I suspect it’s because of that little girl from the Bone Manor. She has a powerful background, and the restaurant manager fears her family might come after him, so he’s planning to flee.?

The audience hit the nail on the head.

?I never imagined this mission would end with the restaurant’s closure.?

?In a nutshell—little village girl, a blight on the industry.?

“Crazy kid, I hope we never see each other again in this lifetime.”

Jin Chen, carrying a small bundle, glanced back at Qing Li.

He had committed too many sins in his life, which led him to this nemesis.

“Manager, are you really not willing to pay my salary before you leave?” Qing Li, holding a white handkerchief and teary-eyed, bid him farewell.

To spare Jin Chen’s feelings, she didn’t mention that they would meet again soon.

Although Jin Chen was a ghost, even ghosts have their fates.

Clearly, Jin Chen and she were bound by a deep connection and would soon meet again.

To surprise Jin Chen and cheer him up, Qing Li chose to remain silent for now.

Look, how considerate she is.

Jin Chen gritted his teeth and glared at Qing Li: “Dream on about getting your salary.”

With that, he disappeared into the darkness with his bundle…
