Chapter 0023 – I’m Living the Good Life – Absolute Returns

Liam laughed and said, “It can’t be cured.”

“I can cure it, trust me.”

“Well, I trust you.”

I know that she just thinks of me as a child who loves to joke around. Perhaps, the person who taught her martial arts had also said that the side effects of full-body petrification kung fu could not be eliminated.

Li An didn’t seem to want to continue this heavy topic, she changed the subject and said, “But, you became a Yellow Springs??? , the original Yellow Springs? will not be displeased?”

“What can he do? It’s the Bishop’s order.”

Actually, I’m not worried about the original Huang Quan???? Judging from how the Demon Monarch incident was handled last time, he was either bribed or coerced by the Demon Monarch. Sooner or later, he will have to be removed, father is just going along for the ride and letting me take his place. As for whether he stays or goes, it’s up to Sima Ming to deal with it.

“I’m more worried about the grassroots martial artists, will they accept me as a suddenly parachuted young master?”

“You are so handsome and strong in martial arts, how could they not welcome you?” Li An said with a smile.

“You’ll just say nice things.”

“Who made you the one who pays the monthly salary?”

I was amused by her, and I decided not to hide it anymore, and said what I’ve been wanting to say for a long time, “Speaking of the monthly salary, I happen to have to deal with a matter. Li An, listen.”

“Go ahead, I’ll listen.”

“I declare that from now on, you are fired.”

“Huh?” Liam jumped violently, then landed heavily on the ground again, and she looked at me in surprise, as if I’d said something unbelievable.

“I said, you’re fired and no longer my escort.”

“Are you, are you serious?”

“Uh-huh.”

Liam’s face was filled with disbelief, as if he had lost the most precious thing in the world.

“Can you say that again? Are you serious?” Her voice trembled and her eyes were full of supplication.

I said firmly, with a hard heart, “I’m serious.”

“Can you tell me why?”

“Because you didn’t help me get revenge.”

I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but Liam wasn’t laughing.

“Swish!”

She drew her longsword and held it to her neck.

“I’d rather die, I was born as the young master’s man, I’ll die as the young master’s ghost!”

Lee Ann, dying once is enough.

I hastened to say, “I’m not trying to cut ties with you, you’re still my subordinate.”

“Whew! You scared me to death! I thought you didn’t want me anymore! Take a quick look at my neck, is it hurt?”

Li An took a long breath, but worry was still written all over her face.

“But I’ll only be a guard, I can’t do anything else. What do you want me to do?”

“Martial Artist, Liam! I now appoint you to a new position.”

“Yes!”

“I appoint you captain of the Ghost Shadows.”

Liam froze again, and she looked at me in surprise, as if I had said something out of the blue.

“Ghost Shadow Team? Does the Heavenly Demon God Sect have this organization?”

“No.”

“You’re asking me to be the captain of an organization that doesn’t exist?”

“I will create it, and it will become my immediate unit, and your monthly salaries, too, will be paid by me.”

“Is the Ghost Shadow Team …… a ghostly shadow?”

“That’s right, and if I had to explain it, it would be that I will be the ghostly one, and you, my shadows.”

I purposely added the word “shadow” to the name in the hope that she would like it, after all, she has been my shadow for so many years.

“I like the name! But did you get permission from the Bishop?”

“Not yet.”

In the Heavenly Demon God Sect, creating an organization privately was absolutely not allowed.

“I’ll figure it out.”

“I’m sure you can, but I ……”

“What are you worried about?”

“How am I, how am I qualified to lead an organization that powerful?”

“You don’t have to worry about that, I’ll teach you the martial arts to match.”

“Even if I get stronger …… me, I’m not fit to be a leader ah, no one will listen to me.”

They will.

They will be overwhelmed by your personality.

One day, they will find out that the captain they follow is actually the world’s number one beauty. That’s right, I’m going to let this jungle, see the strongest organization ever, led by the world’s first beauty!

“Liam, would you be willing to become the captain of the Ghostbusters for me?”

Four eyes.

Despite the uneasiness and hesitation in Lee Ann’s eyes, when she heard the words “for me,” her answer was predetermined.

“I’m willing, to go through fire and water!”

“Good! Right now, the Ghost Shadow Team is only you, but one day, it will become the most powerful organization in the Jianghu. From today onwards, you will give up the martial arts you used to practice and concentrate on cultivating your inner strength and exercising your body. When the time is right, I will teach you new martial arts.”

“Yes!”

Although Li An was full of promise, confusion was written all over her face, not knowing whether she should be happy or worried.

“Then who will protect you from now on?”

“It’s not like I’m a child who needs protection. Those who practice martial arts should learn to protect themselves.”

Li An’s eyes were filled with worry, and those eyes, which were already large, looked even more churlish at the moment.

“I don’t know what to say.”

“Then say thank you, and I will give you the highest monthly salary, higher than all the hall masters of the Heavenly Demon God Sect.”

“Where did you get the money?”

“I’ll think of something, the big thing is to sweep the Heavenly Demon Hall.”

“Young master, I don’t need money, I still have all the money I’ve saved over the years.”

“You can never have too much money, it’s your value, it’s your affirmation of yourself. I’ll give it to you, you take it, no need to be burdened.”

“…… is.”

“Besides, money is something that can be spent very quickly. You have to work hard to make money too, life is still long, what if you are unlucky enough to live to a hundred years old, or return to your old age and live another hundred years?”

I said, half-jokingly, and Liam finally laughed at me.

If it was the old me, I would have been worried about her.

Will she be able to adjust to the change? Will there be any trouble?

But after a long life, I finally realized that all those worries were unnecessary.

I don’t have to worry about it at all, they’re all smarter and more loving than I thought they’d be, and they’ll be fine.
