Chapter 2868
Qian Huansheng shook his head slightly, a smile on his face. "The truth is, I am not disappointed. Instead, I feel relieved."
"Relieved?" Cheng Jin looked at Qian Huansheng with confusion.
Qian Huansheng smiled, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "For people like us, we must cut ties cleanly when necessary. Hesitation is not a good thing."
She glanced at Cheng Jin and continued, "Your biological mother did nothing for you except give birth. Since that is the case, fulfilling your duty of support is enough. There is no need for anything else."
"That is quite contradictory," Cheng Jin said, glancing at him. "If that is true, why did you tell me that my half-brother will lose his life in two years?"
"Even if I hadn't told you, you would have met him in two years anyway," Qian Huansheng laughed lightly.
Cheng Jin said, "It is strange. Why is our coffee shop the transfer station for spirits in this place?"
Qian Huansheng said calmly, "Because there are no Yin Gods or Yin Immortals in charge here."
"Huh?" Cheng Jin looked at him, puzzled.
Qian Huansheng explained, "According to the rules of the Underworld, City Gods command Earth Gods in the human realm, and Earth Gods manage Walkers. Each has their duties. But in this world, there are no City Gods. Not even small Yin Immortals like Earth Gods or Walkers exist."
"Why? Is there a bug in this world?" Cheng Jin asked curiously.
Qian Huansheng shook his head slightly. "I do not know. This is a matter for the Underworld. Naturally, someone from there will investigate. I am merely acting as an agent for the spirits here."
"You are not from the Underworld?" Cheng Jin asked casually.
"I remember I said I am not from the Underworld. However, I know some people there. Otherwise, I would not have accepted their commission to act as an agent here," Qian Huansheng said. "I am here to undergo a tribulation anyway, so I took this job."
"Tribulation? It sounds more and more mysterious," Cheng Jin said with a suspicious expression.
"There is nothing mysterious. To be honest, I was not originally from here," Qian Huansheng said calmly.
"Are you an Immortal?" Cheng Jin asked with curiosity.
"No, I am a True God," Qian Huansheng explained. "You have likely read novels. Ordinary people are mortals. Mortals who cultivate become Cultivators. Cultivators who ascend become Immortals. Immortals who ascend become Gods."
"So, you are a God," Cheng Jin understood.
"I am a member of the God Realm," Qian Huansheng continued. "Actually, every realm is similar. The laws of life are not much different. The only difference between a God and a mortal is that Gods live longer and have abilities mortals do not possess."
"That is already very mysterious," Cheng Jin nodded seriously, then smiled. "I never thought I would know a God. What about Uncle Ma and the others? Are they Gods too?"
"No. Old Ma and Old Bai are from the Immortal Realm. However, they have always followed me, so they became my Divine Envoys," Qian Huansheng said.
As she spoke, Qian Huansheng felt a bit surprised. she was actually explaining these things to Cheng Jin, even though she did not need to know them.
Cheng Jin blinked. "Can I cultivate?"
"Originally, no," Qian Huansheng answered.
"But now I can," Cheng Jin finished his sentence.
Qian Huansheng smiled helplessly. "The best time for a person to cultivate is between five and seven years old. By age, you can no longer cultivate. However, you took the Marrow-Cleansing Pill and Spirit Liquid two days ago. This changed your constitution and opened your blocked meridians. So, you can now cultivate. However, due to your constitution, you can only become a Yin God."
"What is the difference between a Yin God and your True God?" Cheng Jin asked curiously.
"Yin Gods belong to the Underworld and are governed by the Supreme Yanluo Emperor. I am a True God, belonging to the God Realm, governed by the Supreme Black Emperor," Qian Huansheng explained.
"It is just that the rulers are different. The word 'Supreme' suggests their positions are equal. The difference in jurisdiction is like the difference between countries. Being a Yin God is not bad," Cheng Jin said optimistically.
Qian Huansheng paused, then nodded. "You have a point."
"I always have a point," Cheng Jin smiled proudly. At this moment, she forgot the slight sorrow and helplessness she had felt earlier. She also forgot the sadness of cutting ties with her family. She felt happier than ever before.
Seeing this, Qian Huansheng shook his head slightly and said, "Alright, we are approaching our destination."
Cheng Jin looked around. "This is not our coffee shop."
"Who told you we were going directly back to the coffee shop? There is business here. Get down quickly. We will be busy soon," Qian Huansheng said.
"Boss, you gave me time off," Cheng Jin reminded him.
"Temporary overtime," Qian Huansheng answered directly.
"Is there overtime pay?" Cheng Jin blinked.
Qian Huansheng glanced at Cheng Jin. "I came to pick you up specially. I haven't even charged you for the ride yet."
"Boss, you are so stingy," Cheng Jin said. Although she complained, she got out of the car when Qian Huansheng stopped.
It was a construction site, but the surroundings were quiet, indicating the project had been halted for some time.
Cheng Jin looked up at the construction area. "The black qi is faint, and the aura carries evil energy. There is an evil spirit here."
"Hmm," Qian Huansheng nodded slightly, praising her silently.
It had to be said that since Cheng Jin had cleansed her marrow, her cultivation had risen several levels. Therefore, she understood the situation clearly.
Qian Huansheng said, "This construction site was abandoned five years ago. A worker fell to his death here at that time. Since then, the site has not been peaceful. Now, this area is being developed. If this site cannot be completed, it will be a huge loss. So, the boss of this site found me and asked for help."
Cheng Jin nodded. "If the worker died accidentally, he should have reported to the coffee shop."
Qian Huansheng nodded. "That is what I do not understand. The worker's soul seems trapped. Because he did not go to the Underworld in time, he has likely become a bound spirit here."
After hearing this, Cheng Jin looked around carefully. "This place is in the shade. It is suitable for a Yin residence. Why would anyone build a Yang residence here?"
Qian Huansheng shrugged. "Do you think many people in the world know Feng Shui? Most just build houses randomly to make money."
