American Comics: BOSS Invasion

“Ah—”

Amidst a piercing scream, a black coffin appeared out of nowhere, sealing the Tree Demon Matriarch inside.

Numerous branches, crisscrossing and jutting out to the left and right, were impaled into her, green sap slowly flowing down.

As the black coffin disappeared, the Tree Demon Matriarch, riddled with holes and having completely lost her mind, staggered out and collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Xiao Die was terrified, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, shrinking into a ball.

Qi Shan smirked, a cold glint in his eyes: “A mere tree demon, yet you dared to negotiate with me, a fool's dream!”

From the distant dense forest, a earth-shattering explosion suddenly erupted, followed by a furious roar that reverberated through the air, carrying far away.

“Scholar, I will kill you!”

Qi Shan stood firm, not even turning his head.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Xiao Die, who was still sealed in mid-air.

Xiao Die, like a mouse seeing a cat, cried out in alarm and curled up into a ball.

Her face was filled with terror, and she stammered, “Scholar, no, Young Master, the Tree Demon Matriarch is right, I am still a virgin, please accept me, I can do anything, please don't kill me, don't kill me!”

Seeing Xiao Die with her beauty pageant looks and figure, trembling like a deer, Qi Shan felt a long-lost stirring in his heart.

He was silent for a moment, and just as Xiao Die was sinking into despair, he suddenly spoke, “Can you be a servant?”

Xiao Die was overjoyed, as if grasping at a lifeline, and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, I can serve tea and water, make the bed, and prepare three meals a day.

Xiao Die promises to keep everything in order for Young Master!”

“If that's the case, then let's try it!”

Qi Shan waved his hand slightly, and the barrier instantly dissipated.

A large amount of spirit particles drew an arc and slowly gathered in the air, forming a substantial sphere, which then shot into Xiao Die's body.

Xiao Die cried out, about to close her eyes and await death, but she sensed a special power spreading from within.

Her body, composed of soul, seemed to have encountered a demolition team, being quickly leveled, and then rebuilt by a construction team using this newly acquired power.

Like dominoes, it spread outward from her chest, replacing her body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She slowly landed from the air, and from her attire to the composition of her inner flesh, she had completely transformed into a Shinigami.

Xiao Die was stunned for a long while, looking at her hands in disbelief, cautiously touching her chest and arms.

The real and flawless touch, and the faint beating of her heart in her chest, made her feel like she was in a dream.

“Still standing there blankly? Aren't you going inside to tidy up? It's getting late, I need to rest!”

“Ah, oh, yes, Young Master, Xiao Die will arrange it immediately!”

Xiao Die was startled by Qi Shan's indifferent voice, hurriedly agreed, and ran towards the main hall.

After running only two steps, Xiao Die screamed and squatted on the ground, holding her legs, two red clouds appearing on her cheeks.

“Young Master, Xiao Die's skirt… skirt…”

“Stop talking nonsense and hurry up!”

Xiao Die didn't dare to delay, her face flushed, she stood up, holding the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, and scurried into the main hall.

Qi Shan stood behind, squinting his eyes, appreciating this rare sight.

“As expected, Nie Yinmeng's secretary outfit is more in line with my aesthetic.”

A dozen minutes later, the interior of the main hall had been completely renovated.

Without Qi Shan saying much, Xiao Die was, after all, a female ghost who had worked under the Tree Demon Matriarch, and her familiarity with power was much stronger than that of wandering souls.

In just a dozen minutes, she had adapted to her newly acquired power.

“Young Master, the power I have gained is True Illusion.

Within a certain range, I can transform the illusions I cast into reality.

Currently, my casting range is centered on myself, affecting a circle within a radius of ten meters!”

Xiao Die couldn't hide her excitement as she spoke.

As a female ghost, she was most skilled in illusions.

But illusions, no matter what, are fake.

Anyone with a little bit of cultivation can see through them directly.

Now, the new power she has gained can actually transform the illusions she casts into real things within a certain range.

Just thinking about this power makes her feel incredible.

But such power was bestowed by Young Master casually.

How strong is Young Master?

Xiao Die almost couldn't imagine it.

Xiao Die's worship of Qi Shan quickly overcame the shyness brought about by the secretary outfit.

She now walked and acted freely in front of Qi Shan, no longer deliberately concealing herself, and had completely regarded herself as Qi Shan's person.

This was what he liked to see.

Qi Shan nodded: “Not bad, it suits you well!”

Isn't it?

Illusions can be transformed into reality, which means that Xiao Die carries a whole set of tools with her.

Whether it's wine or carriages, whatever she wants, she can directly conjure it up.

Anyway, as long as Xiao Die stays by his side, these things will all be real.

He doesn't even need to use time regression to acquire businesses; Xiao Die can easily handle it with an illusion.

This provides considerable convenience for Qi Shan's plan.

“Now that your soul has been completely Shinigami-ized and there has been no rejection reaction, it means that you are now completely separated from your previous self.

Even if the Thousand-Year Tree Demon still possesses your bones, it can no longer control your freedom.

After Shinigami-ization, your soul will exist in another form between heaven and earth, no longer afraid of sunlight, able to eat, and possessing real touch.

Except that ordinary people cannot see you, there is no difference from normal humans!”

Xiao Die's eyes widened, filled with excitement.

Isn't this equivalent to living a second life?

Too amazing, too amazing!

Qi Shan said: “From now on, you will be a Shinigami belonging to the Gotei 13, considered my personal aide.

Of course, this is the outward designation, but do not forget your true identity!”

“Yes, Young Master! Xiao Die would never dare to forget it for a moment!”

Xiao Die replied quickly, her big eyes curving into crescents.

If she had been forced to sell herself to survive just now, she was now willingly following Qi Shan.

Only after becoming a ghost did she realize the benefits of being human.

Being human has thousands of hardships, but it possesses real freedom, the ability to live in reality, possessing a body, and not being afraid of sunlight.

Only after death does one realize how precious these things that one couldn't pay attention to in life are.

Qi Shan was able to grant her a second life, and this alone was enough for Xiao Die to sincerely pledge allegiance.

Xiao Die waved her hand, and a Eight Immortals table appeared before Qi Shan, filled with various wines and delicacies.

“Young Master, the night is quiet, let Xiao Die serve you to eat and rest early!”
