Chapter 171: Enmity needs a little revenge to be happy
After thinking that Chen Xi might really be his daughter, and then pushing forward with this conclusion, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that she was his daughter.
It turned out that those thoughts and persistence that firmly believed that Chen Xi was not his daughter disappeared in an instant.
Thinking of Chen Xi wandering outside looking for him for so long and suffering so much, Chen Ming's heart couldn't help but hurt terribly.
At this time, when he saw little Chenxi running down the stairs, Chen Ming immediately stretched out his hand to call Chenxi over.
As soon as little Chen Xi ran closer, Chen Ming hugged Chen Xi tightly in his arms.
He kissed Chen Xi's little face fiercely for a while, and then said seriously: "Chen Xi, daddy will always be by your side from now on."
Chen Xi raised her little face and asked seriously: "Dad, do you think I am your biological daughter now?"
"ah?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment. This child is indeed too smart. He can guess this?
Children are so smart, it’s really not fun at all! They can’t even be deceived.
Chen Ming looked at Chen Xi lovingly but was speechless.
"From now on, I will stay with my father and never go anywhere. In this world, only my father can protect me!"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to pout his mouth and kiss Chen Ming's face.
Chen Ming immediately smiled happily like an old father, "My daughter is so good, my father will definitely protect you! Protect you for the rest of your life!"
Seeing Chen Ming's expression of being willing to hand over everything for his daughter, Chen Xi had a childish smile on his face.
But he was secretly proud in his heart, "Chen Ming! Chen Ming! You have today too! Only a little bit of revenge for our revenge will make us happy!"
Just when Chen Ming and Chen Xi were enjoying the family happiness of father and daughter.
On the tall spiritual summoning tower in the distance outside the window, a Tower Clan member was looking at the symbols appearing on one side of the wall in a daze.
"Clan leader! Something's wrong?"
The leader of the Ta tribe came over and asked: "Is there any problem?
"There are nearly 400,000 people staying in this hotel, and it takes twenty ghost pearls to live in one room (day)."
"After so many days, how come they have accumulated more than six million ghost beads? This is not even their first day's income!"
"And this doesn't even count the ghost beads that the haunted house has condensed due to absorbing ghost energy!"
The patriarch looked at it and said, "I heard that they opened a market for purchasing ghosts and other various items in the haunted house."
"If they use all the ghost beads to buy these things, it would make sense that the number of ghost beads is small."
"Patriarch, those ghost beads are our taxes, how can they spend them casually? Did we confiscate their homes to give others a warning?"
"No, although those ghost beads are in the hands of the guests, some hotel has lowered the prices for the second and subsequent rooms."
"As long as the guests continue to stay at the hotel, Guizhu will return to some hotel, but it will be one day earlier and one day later."
"We don't have to rush. It's just a delay in collection and a few more collections. All the ghost beads will eventually be paid in the form of taxes."
"Chief, since it's just a matter of time, why would any hotel do this?"
"This is the shrewdness of the hotel proprietress. She knows that the ghost beads in her hands will fall into our hands sooner or later."
"So I used the ghost beads to buy all the resources from those ghost people, and then let the ghost people spend the exchanged ghost beads in the store."
"The advantage of doing this is that in the end, many ghost beads will be handed over to us."
"However, she left a lot of material and property in her hands instead of working for us in vain."
"What she did is actually the same as us sealing the city gate so that we can't get in or out. Every ghost bead in the city belongs to us."
"But she did it even more ruthlessly. She wanted the ghost beads, the materials, and everything valuable on the ghost people."
"She also knew that she couldn't compete with us on the ghost beads, so she simply gave up the ghost beads and went straight to other valuable items. It was indeed a good idea."
"Patriarch, can we do the same? We can't let any hotel get such benefits."
"No, she can do it. That's because she is just a store, and she only offends the business of other stores."
"If we do this, we will offend everyone in the station. There will be no way to survive. They will definitely attack us in groups and will not stop until we are pushed down."
"We are still afraid of them. Even if we kill all the people in the station, we still have the ability."
"Yes, we have the ability, but what do we want to do with an inn without people? Let such a reputation spread."
"No one will ever come to the inn. If no one comes, there will be no supply of ghost beads. Without the supply of ghost beads, what's the use of guarding this soul-calling tower."
"Then are we just going to watch them make a fortune like this?"
"Of course not. After we collect all the ghost beads, we can use the threat of war to get them to spit them out in the form of donated materials."
"The patriarch is wise!"
"Besides, we can't be too harsh. After all, this hotel collects more taxes than all other haunted houses combined."
"And this haunted house itself can continuously produce a large number of ghost beads, so there won't be a real crisis."
"You can't eat them all in one bite, just like a hunter won't hunt all the prey at once."
"Then shall we collect taxes now?"
"Of course I'm going, just remember to leave 10,000 ghost beads for them to run, and collect the rest. And we'll do the same in the future."
"Okay! Chief, I'm going to collect taxes right now."
In some hotel, Chen Xi ran up to Ao Xi at the front desk and said in a childish voice.
"Sister, I have never seen the big wolf dog that dad mentioned. Can your ghost turn into a big wolf dog and show it to me?"
"OK!"
How could Ai Xi endure Chen Xi's unknown desires? She immediately used a ghost to transform into a big wolf dog.
It moves its head and tail vividly, making it look like a real wolfdog.
"Sister, sister, can you become a sheep again?"
With a flick of her fingers, the big wolf dog immediately turned into a sheep. Little Chen Xi watched with great joy.
After changing a few more animals, Chen Xi asked again: "Sister, can you let me control it to change into anything I want?"
Because Chen Xi kept asking her to change into an animal, which affected her work at the front desk, she agreed without much thought.
After giving Chen Xi a few instructions, he let her play on her own.
Anyway, I can sense whatever my ghost does, so I don't have anything to worry about.
Just tell her not to run outside the hotel.
Chen Xi took the ghosts to play with, and Emu concentrated on receiving the guests queuing up at the front desk.
Just when Aimai was busy dealing with the guests, a commotion suddenly came from the stairs.
