American Comics: BOSS Invasion

"Shut up!"

Xiao Die, humiliated and exasperated, shrieked and charged over with a gust of yin wind: "You stinking bookworm, obediently let this old lady swallow you whole, and maybe I'll even let you have a complete corpse. Otherwise, I'll offer you to Granny Tree Demon and make you suffer!"

Qi Shan retreated repeatedly, neither parrying nor attacking, his posture relaxed and his expression calm. Each time, he only moved a split second before the other party attacked, making it seem like the female ghost was cooperating in practicing moves.

"Miss, what you're saying is a bit inappropriate. It's completely unreasonable and doesn't match your image at all!"

While dodging, Qi Shan even had the leisure to chatter, causing Xiao Die to shriek in anger. Inside the Great Hero Hall, gusts of yin wind and ghostly wails suddenly arose.

But who knows Xiao Die's suffering?

When she was alive, she suffered all kinds of hardships. She thought that after death, she could finally find some ease, but who knew that being dead was even worse than being alive. After death, she was controlled by Granny Tree Demon.

Not to mention freedom, even her actions were tightly controlled.

Her daily job was to fish for men. If her performance was good, Granny Tree Demon's attitude would be much more gentle. But once her performance declined, Granny Tree Demon would immediately turn cold.

Moreover, this job of catching men could be done by any female ghost. No prior experience or training was required. Just cast a wide net and catch more fish, and when you're free, do some promotional activities to lure more men with ulterior motives into the forest.

The competition among the female ghosts was also fierce!

Before this, although Xiao Die's life was relatively difficult, she was still quite prominent within the Tree Demon Group. Her position was equivalent to the top sales department manager, and every time she personally went out, she would reap great rewards.

She never expected that a female ghost named Nie Xiaoqian would arrive recently. She was born with a heavenly appearance and had a clever mind. She was best at figuring out other people's intentions, and she had won over a few younger sisters, forming her own small group and constantly pleasing Granny Tree Demon, which made Xiao Die very jealous.

Seeing that her position as the head of the sales department was becoming unstable, Xiao Die naturally had to find a way to increase her performance.

In addition, they had recently been attacked by an unknown force, which made the sisters a little frightened and afraid to come out to work.

Xiao Die seized the opportunity, preparing to rise to the challenge and provide Granny Tree Demon with some dazzling achievements at this high-risk moment, hoping to regain Granny's favor.

But she never expected that this scholar would not play by the rules from beginning to end.

How long has this dilapidated Lanruo Temple been abandoned? No one has ever come to live here. But he's different. Not only does he not mind, but he also ignores me.

What does this mean? Am I not as beautiful as Nie Xiaoqian?

Female ghosts have complex thoughts and inevitably think too much. Qi Shan clearly hadn't said a word, but Xiao Die became more and more angry.

Her attacks became more and more fierce, and her fingernails constantly created flying slashes in the air, like shockwaves, cutting the already dilapidated Great Hero Hall into an even more chaotic and fragmented state.

In the next second, a light blue, transparent cuboid instantly sealed off the internal space of the Great Hero Hall.

Xiao Die was trapped inside.

The speed was so fast that even a ghost couldn't react. In the blink of an eye, she had been caught by a strange barrier.

Xiao Die was startled. Before she could make any struggling movements, she saw Qi Shan clap his palms together with a 'pa' sound.

Then, the barrier began to shrink inwards at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With each inch it shrank, the six faces of the barrier would thicken to some extent. In the blink of an eye, it shrank into a long, narrow coffin, sealing Xiao Die inside.

Xiao Die panicked, constantly struggling, her knife-like fingernails waving up and down, trying to break out of the barrier, but the hardness of the barrier far exceeded Xiao Die's imagination.

Sparks flew, but she couldn't cause the slightest damage.

Xiao Die screamed frantically, but her voice was sealed inside by Qi Shan and couldn't be transmitted at all.

Qi Shan stood leisurely beside, watching Xiao Die flying up and down, sometimes turning transparent, sometimes turning into smoke, using all kinds of methods but unable to escape.

It was estimated that she wouldn't give up for a short time.

Qi Shan wasn't in a hurry. He leisurely wandered around the Great Hero Hall, found a few suitable pieces of wood, and after highly condensing the spiritual pressure in his body, combined them into various tools.

With a few light waves, the decayed wood was renewed.

Qi Shan used his fingers in conjunction with spiritual pressure to carve mortise and tenon structures on both ends of the wood, inserting them into each other. Soon, he arranged a three-meter-square floor area under the ghost's nose, as well as a small low table and a wooden candlestick on top.

It didn't matter that there were no candles. After plucking a section of the wildly growing ivy and folding it repeatedly, he permeated it with spiritual energy and twisted it into a rope.

Then, he inserted it into the wooden candlestick and slightly rubbed his thumb and index finger together, igniting the rope.

Because it was permeated with spiritual energy, the wooden material burned extremely slowly. Under natural volatilization, burning it for a whole night was definitely not a problem.

Xiao Die struggled for a long time, exhausting herself, but without any success. She finally gave up in frustration. She watched Qi Shan easily create a clean area, and even made a few smooth, porcelain-like bowls and chopsticks, neatly placed on the small low table.

Then, she saw the man gently snap his fingers, and the space above the small low table suddenly opened up a few holes.

The space was distorted and compressed, forming existences like the mouths of giant monsters. The black holes slowly opened, and a table of delicacies and fine wine actually fell directly out of them.

Xiao Die's eyeballs were about to pop out. She actually saw someone who could conjure chicken, duck, fish, and meat out of thin air.

Qi Shan reached out and caught a pot of wine, opened the lid and smelled it. Not bad! Afu's craftsmanship, plus Agou's ingredients, made the brewed wine extraordinary.

Qi Shan poured a cup of wine, squinted his eyes, and felt a gentle force in his abdomen rising up and gradually rippling throughout his body. He couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

He slightly raised his head and looked at Xiao Die, saying, "Are you done making trouble? If you don't want to struggle in vain anymore, then lure the Tree Demon over here for me!

Don't worry, I'm not interested in you little ghost. I won't take your life. My target is Granny Tree Demon!"

Xiao Die's eyes widened instantly.
