Chapter 147: Chapter 147: New Phone Feature, Crimson-robed Ghost Chat Group, Mengmeng Panics

Back at the store, Mengmeng’s parents were still reeling from the scare.

They thanked Yun Zhenyue profusely the entire way back.

They had been prepared to sell their store to pay her. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But Yun Zhenyue, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, had to assure them she was only joking, which finally let the couple breathe a sigh of relief.

Still, they were heartbroken over what had happened to Mengmeng during this time.

And this made them even more grateful to Yun Zhenyue!

If they hadn’t met this great lady,

they probably would have died in that nightmare.

Mengmeng wouldn’t have been able to protect herself either and would have most likely been harmed by Fushou Bank.

"Alright, from now on, you can run your business in peace. I promise no one will bully you again."

Yun Zhenyue wiped the sweat from her brow and patted her chest reassuringly.

That blood-red space.

It had been sealed in extreme ice by Yu Honghui.

No ghost below the level of an Evil Star could possibly open it.

As long as no one caused trouble, the Fierce Ghost Mall would enjoy a long period of peace.

The members of the Nightmare Hunters all sighed in dismay.

Many of them had hoped to curry favor inside the Dream Realm Space.

But then their Lord came and ended it with a single sentence!

It was an easy victory, sure...

...but it hadn’t given them a chance to show off their true strength.

The upper management of the Fierce Ghost Mall all stood by, cautious and respectful.

"Yes, you two, with Miss Yun’s backing, you can rest completely at ease," one of the ghost executives chuckled. "If anyone is blind enough to cause trouble in the future, I’ll be the first to punish them!"

"That’s right. The lady is the mall’s boss now. We’re all her subordinates."

"From now on, your shop won’t have to pay rent or a cut of the profits. You can stay open for as long as you like."

"How about we move you to the fifth floor? There happens to be an open spot."

The ghost director, finance manager, and various department heads all chimed in with ingratiating smiles.

"Um, the first floor is fine. We’re already used to it."

Mengmeng’s father managed to maintain his composure as he politely refused.

’These executives wouldn’t have even deigned to look at us before.’

’And now they’re all fawning over us?’

’It’s like something out of a dream!’

’And to be honest, it feels pretty damn good!’

This was all thanks to Mengmeng’s friend, Miss Yun.

Mengmeng’s father subconsciously glanced at his precious daughter.

He saw her laughing and chatting with Yun Zhenyue.

’This silly girl!’

’She has no idea what an incredible friend she’s made.’

’Why isn’t she taking this chance to get her contact information!’

’What if they drift apart later?’

Mengmeng’s father was exasperated by his daughter’s inaction!

"Stop worrying. You don’t need to meddle in Mengmeng’s affairs," Mengmeng’s mother said with a gentle smile. "Thanks to Miss Yun, the scar on my face is gone. I feel so much younger."

"And her hand was so warm. I really want her to pat my head again."

Mengmeng’s father: "..."

’An elder wanting a junior to pat her head... how shameless!’

But that healing light had also cleansed his heart.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a miracle!

Watching Yun Zhenyue stroke Mengmeng’s head...

...Mengmeng’s father suddenly noticed that all the Nightmare Hunter members seemed to be looking on with envy.

The corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.

’Wait, aren’t you guys a bunch of Evil Stars?’

’You’re not puppies!’

’Why do you want a young girl to pat your heads?’

...

A moment later, Mengmeng suddenly remembered something.

She quickly told Yun Zhenyue not to leave just yet, saying she had a gift for her.

"Hm? What gift?"

Yun Zhenyue watched blankly as Mengmeng’s figure disappeared.

「One minute later.」

Mengmeng returned from the back of the store, panting.

She was holding an exquisite piece of clothing in her arms.

Yun Zhenyue was about to politely decline.

But seeing the look in Mengmeng’s eyes, as if she would burst into tears if refused, she didn’t say a word.

"This is for you, Yue!"

Mengmeng handed the garment to Yun Zhenyue, looking up at her earnestly.

"This is the best piece of clothing I’ve ever made!"

"After my parents disappeared, I was searching everywhere for them. One night, I suddenly saw a glowing flower on the ground. I picked it and used it as a dye to make this outfit."

Hearing this, a Nightmare Hunter member suddenly exclaimed in shock, "That flower—was it black and red, with a faint glow and a crimson mist around it?"

"Yes, that’s exactly right!" Mengmeng nodded.

The member swallowed hard.

"That’s the Flower of Evil, a flower said in legends to be nurtured by resentment."

"It must have absorbed all the resentment from everyone in the dreamscape over countless years."

"Even an Evil Star can’t pick it; only someone with a pure heart can get close. A Ghost Artifact made from this flower will be an entire grade higher!"

"This clothing... I have a feeling it’s no ordinary item. It’s probably a Calamity Star Ghost Artifact, and a top-tier one at that!"

’A top-tier Calamity Star Ghost Artifact?’

Yun Zhenyue subconsciously looked down at the clothes in her hands.

It was a blood-red, open-front gown. The exquisite silk was rendered semi-translucent by the light, and the silver thread embroidery on the lapel resembled a butterfly soaring with outstretched wings. You could see the care the maker had put into it.

’What a pity.’

’It’s women’s clothing.’

’If it were for men, I could give it to Gu Yuan.’

Just as Yun Zhenyue was feeling a little regretful,

the clothing in her hands suddenly rippled like water.

In the blink of an eye,

it had automatically transformed into a men’s robe of the same style.

"It can shapeshift?" Yun Zhenyue was astonished.

At the same time,

she also heard a system notification.

It was marked as a top-tier Calamity Star Ghost Artifact!

Named the Ghost Dream Flower Robe!

It could convert yin energy into pure Healing Power.

It could do this by drawing from ghost coins or by absorbing the natural yin energy of the world.

In other words,

wearing this clothing granted a permanent buff!

As long as the injury wasn’t fatal, any damage taken would be repaired automatically!

This perfectly filled a gap in Yun Zhenyue’s skillset!

She couldn’t use her Purifying Hand on herself.

Moreover, the clothing also had a self-cleaning ability, could never be stained, and could change into various forms!

It was simply a priceless treasure!

The Nightmare Hunter members all looked on, their gazes filled with shock.

...

Soon, Yun Zhenyue dismissed the group of Nightmare Hunters.

She also promised she would tell Gu Yuan the truth when she got home.

The Nightmare Hunter members were satisfied and thanked her profusely.

Then, using their various abilities, they vanished in an instant.

Only Yu Honghui remained, standing humbly by.

His absolute loyalty to his Lord

made him stand in the corner of the shop like an ice man, protecting the store.

Just then,

a ghost in a blue work uniform rode up on a small electric scooter.

He drove right up to the clothing store’s entrance and shouted, "Delivery! Netherworld Express Delivery!"

"Mengmeng Clothing, right? You’ve got an intra-city package."

Hearing this, Mengmeng was completely baffled.

"This is Mengmeng Clothing, and I didn’t order anything. I think you’ve made a mistake—"

"It’s all the same, isn’t it? Just sign for it."

The delivery ghost immediately produced a box and handed it to Mengmeng.

The latter, completely confused, signed for it and accepted the package.

It was only after she saw the delivery ghost leave

that Yun Zhenyue, who had been covering her mouth to stifle a laugh, spoke up.

"Go on, take it. It’s something from me."

"Huh?"

Mengmeng was completely surprised.

She carefully unwrapped the package and found three cell phones inside.

"Yue, this is..."

"I saw you looked a bit envious earlier, so I had Gu Yuan send a few phones over. Now you can call your parents anytime, and you won’t have to worry about them disappearing."

Yun Zhenyue explained with a light laugh.

’This has become a tradition!’

’After clearing a dungeon, I always have to add my new friends on some kind of chat app to stay in touch!’

"Thank you!!!"

Mengmeng was deeply moved.

She couldn’t believe Yue had noticed such a small detail.

She picked up one of the tri-fold phones, cradling it in her hands like a precious treasure.

She immediately bound it to herself.

She gave the other two phones to her parents.

After exchanging phone numbers with Yun Zhenyue,

Mengmeng suddenly discovered that she had been automatically logged into a strange chat app.

The app could display her name and power level.

’It can send private messages and has a feed?’

DING-DONG!

With that sound, Mengmeng’s confusion deepened.

She saw that she had been pulled into a group chat.

"Huh?"

Yun Zhenyue stared at her phone screen, just as confused.

’Since when are there group chats?’

’Did the phone get a new feature?’

’Gu Yuan must be behind this.’

She gave it a quick glance.

The group had no name. The owner was Gu Yuan, and she was in it too.

And the members were all her friends.

There was Mr. Li and Lin Jiu from the Blood Moon Hotel, Shangguan Mu and Mrs. Yan from Reincarnation Hospital, Mr. Luo and his daughter Luo Huan from Chilling Middle School, the Nightmare Hunter Yu Honghui... even the panda doll was in there?

’What is this?’

’Is this my friends group chat?’

’Or is it the Crimson-robed Ghost chat group?’

Just then,

a panicked voice reached Yun Zhenyue’s ears.

"Yue... Yue..."

Staring at the list of Evil Stars, Mengmeng was trembling.

’What kind of group chat is this?’

’I wasn’t added by mistake, was I?’
