Maxwell Jing twitched the corner of his mouth, and Ethan Gu reminded him, "Guildmaster, the Ghost Guild is very busy!" Although he had heard their conversation and knew Damien Gray was returning to the Ghost Guild, expecting Damien to do much was difficult—especially with Morgan Shangguan present!
At these words, Damien Gray frowned—this was indeed true.
So, he grabbed the purple gourd at Morgan Shangguan's waist and shook it fiercely. A group of little ghosts tumbled out, dazed and dizzy.
"Boss Ghostmaster... next time, could you... be a bit gentler?"
The group of little ghosts nodded in agreement. Although they feared Damien Gray, with Morgan Shangguan present, they knew he wouldn't destroy their souls, so their courage grew little by little.
Damien Gray swept them with a cold glance. "Any complaints?"
The group of little ghosts shrank their necks timidly and quickly waved their hands!
Damien Gray said coldly, "Those two little ones are your responsibility. If anything goes wrong, be prepared for your souls to be scattered!"
Upon hearing they had to look after Ethan Gray and Roxy Shangguan, the little ghosts' expressions turned odd. But under Damien Gray's powerful cold gaze, they could only nod tearfully, praying their future days wouldn't be too miserable!
They had always stayed by Morgan Shangguan's side and knew the two babies well—so they were fully aware of how difficult they were to care for!
Gazing at the grand architecture before her, Morgan Shangguan squinted and said, "Ghostmaster, you must be loaded. Why not share a little with me?"
Damien Gray smiled, his gaze landing on her. He raised an eyebrow, "And what will the Cloud Guildmaster offer in exchange?"
Morgan Shangguan gave a charming smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed close to his lips, speaking flirtatiously, "How about trading myself? I don't want much. Last time, that batch of official silver..."
"Guildmaster..."
Morgan Shangguan's words were interrupted. She turned to see a gentle woman standing at the doorway, watching them.
Damien Gray was somewhat displeased at being interrupted. Holding Morgan Shangguan close, he looked up at the newcomer and asked coldly, "What is it?"
Leo Leaf paused before speaking, "I have important matters to report. I heard the Ghostmaster returned, so I came to greet you in person!" As she spoke, her gaze couldn't help but flicker to Morgan Shangguan.
To Maxwell Jing and Ethan Gu, Damien Gray and Morgan Shangguan's behavior seemed normal. But to Leo Leaf, their intimacy was anything but—she'd never seen a woman act so close to the Ghostmaster. Who was this woman, really?
Morgan Shangguan's eyes showed a hint of thoughtfulness. She said to Damien Gray, "You go handle it first!" Before he could respond, she looked to Ethan Gu and Maxwell Jing, "You two go as well!"
Hearing her commanding tone, Leo Leaf couldn't help but frown. Damien Gray watched her for a moment and said, "Then you look around on your own for now!" It was the middle of the night, and instead of letting Morgan Shangguan rest, she was told to explore—truly puzzling.
He pulled Morgan Shangguan in for a kiss, then reminded her, "There's no money here!" Clearly, he'd seen through her little scheme.
Morgan Shangguan glanced at him with indifference, curling her lips, "There's always some underground, isn't there?" Though this was the Ghost Guild, the true Ghost Guild was said to be beneath the surface.
Damien Gray shook his head and laughed, "Nothing gets past you! But how do you plan to move it now? All your little ghosts have been sent back to the Ghost King's Manor!"
Morgan Shangguan rolled her eyes. "You really think I'm that obsessed with money?"
Damien Gray smiled, kissed her again, then turned to leave. Leo Leaf couldn't help but glance at Morgan Shangguan before lowering her eyes and following Damien.
Ethan Gu and Maxwell Jing exchanged a glance and followed as well.
Morgan Shangguan watched the others leave, then stepped into the sprawling manor. She truly was touring casually, but also memorizing every trap, mechanism, and detail along the way.
As dawn approached, she figured Damien Gray's business must be settled. Having finished her tour, she decided to go find him.
But she hadn't gone far before Damien Gray appeared, walking straight toward her. Morgan Shangguan narrowed her eyes and curled her lips, amusement sparkling within.
She stepped forward gently and asked, "Is everything taken care of?"
Damien Gray nodded and said coldly, "Go rest in the room!"
Go rest in the room? Morgan Shangguan raised an eyebrow, her smile deepening with a hint of mystery. She gently asked, "Ghostmaster, we're already back in the Ghost Guild—why are you still wearing your mask?"
Damien Gray shot her a cold look and said in a deep voice, "That's none of your business!"
Hearing this, Morgan Shangguan nodded and laughed, "Then... let's go to the room!"
Inside the room, Morgan Shangguan glanced around and couldn't help but shake her head—this room was nothing like Damien Gray's style!
She turned to the other person in the room, her face soft with a gentle smile. "Ghostmaster, aren't you going to rest? Why haven't you undressed yet?" She even considered stripping him bare and tossing him out for everyone to see.
Just as she had this thought, she began to reflect: Was she corrupted by Damien Gray, infected by the babies, or was she always this mischievous? Still, she had no intention of changing!
"Damien Gray" paused, frowned, and started to take off his clothes, watching Morgan Shangguan's expression. The more he looked, the deeper his frown grew—this woman was acting different than usual.
Morgan Shangguan sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, but didn't drink it. She watched him undress with great interest.
The man, lost in thought about what felt off, absentmindedly undressed. Only when he felt a chill did he snap out of it, noticing his disheveled state. He frowned and began to get dressed again, fixing his gaze on Morgan Shangguan. He couldn't understand—he was usually the one playing tricks, so why was he the one being played now? It was all her gentle manner that had made him let his guard down!
Seeing the look of being tricked in his eyes, Morgan Shangguan found it funny. She chuckled and said, "Hasn't anyone told you that if you're going to impersonate someone, you have to completely hide the differences you can't change? And you dare appear before me in such a state!"
