Chapter 89: with translation of chapter title

89 As long as it's not too excessive, she won't 'kill them'.

Xie Shiyu shifted his body slightly, 'Come in and speak?'

Tushan Jiu nodded, then stepped inside.

Xie Shiyu casually closed the door.

Successfully lured the person into the wolf's den.

Upon entering the room, Tushan Jiu first glanced around Xie Shiyu's bedroom.

It was completely different in tone from her own room.

Xie Shiyu's room was in cool tones, mainly white, with gray and black as accents.

It looked simple yet exuded a sense of luxury everywhere.

Black and white are Tushan Jiu's favorite colors, so she thought Xie Shiyu's bedroom decor was very nice.

Of course, her own room was also quite nice.

Xie Shiyu changed his clothes in the wardrobe and walked over.

He hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and said softly, 'Do you like my bedroom? Want to switch?'

Tushan Jiu's neck felt itchy from his doing, she instinctively shrank back, tilted her head to look at him, 'I like both black and white; my room was decorated nicely by my aunt, I won't swap with you.'

Xie Shiyu kissed her cheek, then sat up straight and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

'From now on, we'll decorate our wedding room with these two colors.'

Tushan Jiu nodded, 'Sure, yesterday the Guo family came to settle accounts, and I picked a large flat in the central Shengshi Haoting, top floor, I quite like it, the feng shui is also good, I plan to make it our wedding room—what do you think?'

Xie Shiyu affectionately pinched her nose tip, 'Fine, as long as you're happy.'

Tushan Jiu curled her lips into a smile, then suddenly remembered why she had come, she immediately wiped the smile away and said, 'By the way, Xie Shiyu, I have something to tell you.'

Seeing her so serious, Xie Shiyu also sat up a bit straighter, 'What's wrong? Speak.'

Tushan Jiu said slowly, 'I came to find you to tell you that I might be busy lately; last night I called my father over, and he said something happened in the Underworld...'

She told Xie Shiyu about that Underworld matter and the reward.

Finally she summed it up, 'In short, I might not have time to date you for a while.'

She said this while glancing at Xie Shiyu.

They had just confirmed they were dating, and she was about to start her career.

Once their line of work gets busy, they hardly see each other all day, because they often rest by day and work at night.

She feared that if she had no time to accompany him, he would be unhappy.

Xie Shiyu looked at her, 'Just this?'

Tushan Jiu nodded, 'Yeah, just this.'

Xie Shiyu adjusted her posture, pinched her cute earlobe, and said solemnly, 'Jiujiu, don't worry too much; first, you are the sole heir of the Tushan Family, who are debt-collectors; second, you are my fiancée, Xie Shiyu.'

You have your career, I have my affairs; two people loving each other should help each other grow, rather than restrict each other within love.

Jiujiu, I like you, so I won't become your obstacle.

Tushan Jiu stared at Xie Shiyu for a long while.

She felt Xie Shiyu was truly a boyfriend who practices the twenty-four filial piety.

Unable to hold back, she cupped Xie Shiyu's face and gave him a quick kiss, 'Xie Shiyu, you're really great, I like you so much!'

Xie Shiyu was somewhat taken aback; this was her first time being so passionate.

The soft touch on his face, combined with her fragrance magnified infinitely, he spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, 'Since you like me so much, why only kiss my face?'

Tushan Jiu startled, wanting to pull away.

But Xie Shiyu anticipated it and directly scooped her onto his leg, sitting sideways.

The hand holding her waist applied some force, pulling her closer to him.

His lips unintentionally brushed against hers.

'Jiujiu, you need to kiss here; as my reward, kiss again, okay?'

The rising tone drifted into her ears, making Tushan Jiu feel like she was about to smoke, yet she felt drawn forward as if tempted.

Tushan Jiu always admits to whatever she does.

She admits she really likes the feeling of kissing Xie Shiyu.

It makes her whole being physically and mentally delighted!

So she willingly fell into his trap.

After kissing for a while, Xie Shiyu let her go, fearing she would get hungry.

The two went downstairs to have breakfast.

After breakfast, Tushan Jiu sent a message to Lin Xiu'er, asking whether those beast tribe members had all been caught.

They quickly replied, saying thanks to her divination of the exact location, they had already captured all seven beast tribe members and sent them straight to the Underworld on the spot.

Lin Xiu'er also told her the news freshly brought from the Underworld about the Hell's rift.

Tushan Jiu also said she had known about it since last night.

This time the Underworld said it was a kind of assessment, not allowing these formal staff to intervene, and they also had to supervise its execution.

Having seen Tushan Jiu's abilities, Lin Xiu'er naturally didn't need to worry about her, so she didn't say much, only saying, 'Good luck, wishing you good fortune.'

She also sent a heart emoticon.

Tushan Jiu also replied with a little bunny-received emoticon.

After putting down her phone, Tushan Jiu went to the small study in her bedroom.

She took out the milfoil from the jade bracelet again, preparing to deduce the ghosts that had escaped due to the Hell's rift.

Beside her she placed a sheet of paper and a pen.

She divined while taking notes.

About an hour later, she finally stopped.

After stopping, she immediately lit the soul‑summoning incense and summoned her father again.

She gave Tushan Sheng five knives and the paper she had just written.

She told her father, "These are the Five Directions Ghost Emperor's knives; these are what they want."

Tushan Sheng glanced at the address and said, "Not bad—they're not too scattered; most are in Nan Cheng and its vicinity, so I expect Nan Cheng won't be too quiet these days."

Tushan Jiu raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course—after all this, it'd be strange if it stayed calm."

Soon her father will hand the items over to the Underworld, and they'll naturally send out a notice.

I expect those Mystic Masters will arrive in Nan Cheng one after another in the next couple of days.

She hasn't really interacted with those people, but luckily it's a solo competition, so she doesn't need to socialize at all.

Tushan Jiu had nothing to do, so she spent a while drawing talismans.

Sure enough, Tushan Sheng had just taken the address down in the morning, and the Underworld's announcement came out that afternoon.

It briefly mentioned the Hell's Rift, then announced the ghosts' locations, and instructed them to go to the Nan Cheng Office on their own to collect temporary law enforcement badges.

However, this is also time‑limited, with a deadline of one month.

In other words, you catch as many ghosts as you can within one month, and whoever catches the most wins.

It sounds simple, but it's actually not.

You should know that ghosts bearing memories are the hardest to catch.

Everyone harbors regrets and obsessions.

Although they lack ghostly power and can't kill, they still affect the living.

Moreover, since they understand the Underworld, they're likely to evade the Mystic Masters and play a cat‑and‑mouse game.

So difficulty‑wise, it's not exactly easy.

If you want them to come out willingly and return to the Underworld, the fastest way is to resolve their regrets and obsessions, which would save a lot of time.

Of course, this is just Tushan Jiu's tentative approach.

If she meets a disobedient ghost, she'll still strike it if it calls for it, rip it apart if needed.

Anyway, now that she has law enforcement authority, as long as it isn't excessive, she won't kill them outright.
