Chapter 74 Undersea Village/Ghost Customer

Houses! She actually saw houses underwater! Swimming closer, Qian Xiaolan discovered that there wasn’t just one house, but a whole cluster of them, likely a village. At this point, she was very grateful that she loved history and had some understanding of the architectural styles and characteristics of ancient houses. The houses in this village were clearly from the Ming Dynasty.

 Qian Xiaolan didn’t believe in any speculation about immortals living under the sea. Sure enough, she swam around the village and found that all the doors and windows were closed, and almost every house had human skeletons inside. In particular, in a large house, she also saw many Ming Dynasty furniture and porcelain. Qian Xiaolan turned on the space detection function and took in the underwater situation within a radius of fifty kilometers.

There were many, many more villages nearby. It was highly likely that these people had encountered an accident while sleeping, and the entire island had sunk. When it happened, everyone was sleeping in their houses, and even though their bodies were bloated, they couldn’t float to the surface. This led to the fact that no one had discovered this place for hundreds of years. Qian Xiaolan didn’t open any doors or windows. She used the space detection function to directly collect all the valuable things from these families. She only left the furniture that was about to rot completely for later generations to study. Then, she wandered around a few nearby villages, noting their locations, and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the trading mall, which had been silent for a long time, received a new customer. Qian Xiaolan flashed her figure and entered the space.

[Did you collect our things? You collected them, so you collected them. Can you burn some money for us? Waa, we’re so miserable. Our families were destroyed overnight, and we haven’t had any descendants to burn paper for us for hundreds of years. We want to be reincarnated, but we don’t have any money to bribe the officials. Waa…] Qian Xiaolan looked at these words and shivered all over. She stammered, “Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi! These are ghosts, right? Right, right?” Xiaoqi slowly flew over, “Ah, so this dimension is connected to the ghost realm!

 No wonder it’s been so quiet for so long, and now there’s a reaction. It should be that the sunken underwater village here is compatible with their aura.” Hearing Xiaoqi’s words, Qian Xiaolan immediately remembered the horror movies she had watched before, and her body couldn’t help but tremble again. “If I continue to trade with them, will I be affected by them?” Isn’t it common for ghosts to find substitutes? Xiaoqi seemed to see through Qian Xiaolan’s thoughts and sneered, “What are you afraid of? You are now the contact person for the Three Thousand Realms. Who dares to harm you?” Well, that seems to be the case. Qian Xiaolan immediately straightened her back and replied to the other party: [I can burn paper for you.

How many people and ghosts do you have? What kind of paper money do you need? Longevity money, fortune money, four-way money, nine gold, nine silver, big silver, five-color paper, yellow ancient coins, or lotus gold?] The other side: [??? There are so many types? We have over five thousand of us, and we’re so poor that we’ve never even seen money. We don’t know what kind of money those ghosts use. They all think we’re poor ghosts, and no one wants to play with us. Waa…] Qian Xiaolan felt that this ghost was not honest, but she didn’t expose it. Anyway, it was just burning some paper. However, Qian Xiaolan didn’t want to do business at a loss. She said again, [The things in your families are too old, and the furniture left behind has rotted.

There’s not much left. If you know where there are any treasures, you can tell me the address, and I’ll burn more money for you when I find them.] [Okay, okay, I actually do know. Go south, there’s an island with a natural stone on the mountain that looks like a chicken. Under the chicken, there’s a cave. At the entrance of the cave, dig down three meters, and you’ll see two chests.] Qian Xiaolan noted down the location and contacted Wenxuan, the omnipotent manager, and asked him to bring a truckload of various paper money. When Wenxuan learned that Qian Xiaolan was trading with the ghost realm, he was completely shocked. Really, the apocalypse and the primitive world hadn’t shocked him as much. At least they were human!

Now, she’s actually trading with otherworldly beings. He was really scared. It was already seven o’clock in the evening on Wenxuan’s side. To be safe, he deliberately put on the amulet and bracelet that his mother had asked for him two years ago when he went out. Qian Xiaolan herself wasn’t very scared, but she didn’t expect to scare Wenxuan so badly.

Seeing that it was still early, she went out to play for a while. When she felt hungry, she casually collected some fish, shrimp, and lobster groups and entered the space again. There were cooking tools in the space, and after changing out of her diving suit, Qian Xiaolan started cooking. She had caught so much seafood today, so she was going to make a seafood feast. Let’s have a blue crab, a lobster, peeled and sliced, a handful of clams, a squid, hmm, the water here is too deep, and she hasn’t caught any squid yet. Let’s use octopus instead. Let’s add some broccoli, a carrot, a potato, and two green cabbages. It’s all about a balanced diet.

 … Qian Xiaolan was hiding in the space making delicious food, unaware that a woman with a gloomy expression was standing at the door of the infirmary. Fang Meimei was really angry! She had just gone on tour with a group for a few months and came back. She never imagined that Gu Yanqing, who had always been cold to women, had actually gotten married. It was fine that he got married, but she originally thought that someone like Gu Yanqing would just marry a woman without any feelings to appease his family. He would eventually get a divorce.

She never imagined that everyone in the base and the family courtyard were spreading rumors about how Commander Gu doted on his wife. Her first reaction was that it was impossible! It couldn’t be true. It must be a misunderstanding! Someone like Gu Yanqing, every time she found an opportunity to talk to him, he would pretend not to see her and turn around and leave. How could someone like him be good to any woman? Fang Meimei didn’t want to believe it. After asking around about Qian Xiaolan, she came here. But she was met with a closed door.

She returned to the group with a lot of anger and happened to meet her admirer, Wan Qian, and the three people behind him. “Meimei, where have you been? I borrowed a fishing boat to go out to sea for fun. Do you want to come with us?” Fang Meimei wanted to refuse, but then she thought, Gu Yanqing was already married, why should she refuse others for him? So, Fang Meimei went out to sea with Wan Qian and the five of them.

These people didn’t go fishing, they mainly wanted to find a place to fish and improve their diet. Coincidentally, they were going in the same direction as Qian Xiaolan. After eating the delicious seafood feast in the space, Qian Xiaolan played in the sea for a long time.

When she felt tired, she surfaced, found a place where the view was limited from other angles, and moved the small boat out of the space. She sailed around on the surface of the sea for a while and finally found the island shaped like a chicken that the ghost customer had mentioned.
