Chapter 327: Chapter 325: Mr. Li Selling Skincare Products

This woman’s name was Xin Huiting. Nearing her thirties, she appeared like a woman in her early twenties after applying the Essence Oil, prompting her desire to break into the entertainment industry.

She had just tried to extort Su Xiaotong, but both of them hadn’t fallen for it and even asked to meet the skincare master.

During their journey, Xin Huiting sent a series of messages to the master.

She instructed the master to cooperate with her lies, inflating the price of the Essence Oils from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong were indeed interested in the Essence Oils and wanted to buy two bottles, so he could sell them at a high price—two bottles for a huge profit.

In this way, Xin Huiting could also receive a compensation of millions.

Right now, she was calculating happily in her mind.

However, not long after, upon arriving at the company where the skincare master was located, she was almost scared to death.

"Why is there no one here?"

Su Xiaotong felt that the office building was a bit eerie, its aura making her uncomfortable.

"What do you know? The whole building belongs to that company, and their skincare products are especially popular, lots of people buy them, okay? Every time they release new products, this place is crowded."

"It feels like an online pyramid scheme, not at all like a big company."

Su Xiaotong, having never seen it crowded, couldn’t help but continue her complaints.

Moreover, the brand of Essence Oil Xin Huiting mentioned was unheard of, obviously a no-name brand. Could it be that Xin Huiting herself was scammed by an online marketer, and then she came to extort from her?

Ding-dong, the elevator arrived at the company’s floor.

Qin Zhao sneered, "What crowded with people, there should be more ghosts instead."

She had sensed something of at the nearby building. Although there was something concealing the building’s yin energy, such tricks couldn’t hide from her Divine Sense.

"What are you talking about?"

Xin Huiting looked at her discontentedly. Qin Zhao snapped her fingers, dispelling the illusion before their eyes.

The temperature dropped rapidly; despite it being a bright sunny afternoon, the office was devoid of any light, filled with dense black yin energy.

"Where are the guests you brought? These are the last three bottles."

A ghost with an especially solid soul approached Xin Huiting in a suit and tie, looking every part the skincare master he was said to be.

A graduate from a prestigious university, he specialized in the skincare market and later started his own business.

Their company’s skincare products were only provided to a niche market and were released in limited quantities.

"Mr. Li, I really appreciate that you are willing to sell them to us!"

Xin Huiting turned to look at Mr. Li, her smile quickly coagulating, her expression twisting grotesquely, finally exploding into an extremely loud scream.

"Ah! A ghost!"

She turned to run, but Qin Zhao kindly pulled her back.

"Running why? You haven’t introduced us to this gentleman yet."

"No, he, he is not human! There’s so much blood!"

Xin Huiting was trembling in Qin Zhao’s grip, her speech incoherent, hardly daring to look at Mr. Li.

This ghost, Mr. Li, possessed a highly skilled Illusion Technique, capable of deceiving mortals. But the moment he appeared, Qin Zhao had broken his illusion and made him reveal his deathly appearance.

A large axe was embedded in his head, indicating he had been killed by an axe, and the mix of red and yellow brain matter and blood constantly streamed out, making his pale grey face appear exceptionally bloody and fierce.

Seeing Xin Huiting’s reaction, Mr. Li realized he had been exposed.

This evil ghost wiped the brain matter off his face, his expression suddenly turning fierce, "Weren’t you supposed to bring people to buy things? Why did you bring a Heavenly Master here!"

"Ah! Don’t come any closer!"

Xin Huiting collapsed on the floor in fright, until Qin Zhao repelled the evil ghost with a palm strike.

Looking around, there were many other ghosts, holding various tools used to produce skincare products, clearly under the lead of this evil ghost to manufacture and sell these products to mortals.

Qin Zhao merely released her aura, nearly causing the ghost messengers to scatter in terror.

Only the evil ghost still managed to maintain his wits, turning his head to attempt an escape.

Unfortunately, as he tried to jump through a window, he thudded against it—Qin Zhao had already set up a barrier there.

"How did the skincare products come about? How many people have you harmed?"

Hearing Qin Zhao’s stern voice, a group of ghosts trembled in fear.

"Master, we are just some lonely wandering ghosts, with no one to offer sacrifices for us, and after death, it was miserable. We couldn’t be reincarnated through the underworld, we couldn’t even afford a bit of incense or candles!

Out of desperation, we had to find ways to make money!"

The escaping evil ghost knelt and sobbed, and other ghosts started crying too.

"..."

Initially, Su Xiaotong was somewhat scared seeing so many ghosts, but now she was taken aback.

It turned out that becoming a ghost wasn’t carefree after all.

"Just answer my question, don’t give me all this rubbish!"

Qin Zhao’s face showed impatience, and the crying sounds of the ghosts immediately choked off. They didn’t dare to cry anymore, fearing that Qin Zhao, in a bad mood, might scatter their souls.

They could only confess honestly. "The skincare products are refined from corpse oil, then mixed with a bit of ghost energy. Although it causes corpse spots, to the naked eye, the skin appears to improve."

"Where did the bodies come from?"

"O, our own bodies."

"..."

Both Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong were shocked and did not know what words to use to express their admiration.

To refine corpse oil from their own bodies and then process it into skincare products to make money?

Thanks, that’s quite an appalling maneuver.

Such lengths are being gone to make money these days?

If ghosts can go to such lengths, what excuse do you have not to work hard!

Seeing that they were silent, the evil ghost continued to plead, "Master, we really haven’t harmed anyone, we just wanted to make some money! Please spare us, we will never dare to do it again!"

"Corpse oil will rot people’s skin, and in serious cases, it can be life-threatening!"

Qin Zhao didn’t believe his ghostly words. "You call this not harming anyone?"

The ghosts couldn’t reply out of guilt.

"Who else did you sell the skincare products to? Go get them back."

If people continued to use this kind of skincare product, it would only appear to improve the skin superficially. Eventually, the skin would definitely rot, and by the time it starts, people would be close to death.

"You, go get it. Don’t even think about escaping; I can catch you."

Qin Zhao pointed at the lead evil ghost, letting him go to retrieve the skincare products.

"O, okay."

The evil ghost glanced at her cautiously, and when he left the building, he planned to run away. Why grab anything when the woman was so formidable? Better to run first!

Just as he had this thought, a bolt of lightning struck his soul right from the sky.

"!!!"

Lucky for him, being an evil ghost, he was more resilient.

Otherwise, he would have probably been gone with that strike.

"Do you want your soul to be scattered?"

A cold voice came from above, almost scaring the ghost to death!

"The mark on your soul is mine; you know the consequences if you dare to run."

o(╥﹏╥)o

This evil ghost hadn’t expected that in these times when Heavenly Masters were in decline, someone would still have such powerful spells. He dared not entertain any other thoughts but obediently went to stealthily retrieve those skincare products.

These products hadn’t yet caused human deaths, and the ghosts hadn’t absorbed any Blood Evil Qi, so Qin Zhao didn’t immediately destroy them.

"You collected human money; how were you planning to use it?"

Don’t ghosts use joss paper?

After the evil ghost returned, Su Xiaotong curiously asked.
