Lin En secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his mouth twitching slightly.


    But he knew.


    Even though the task was completed.


    Now was not the time to complain about the System.


    "That''s right, because everything I say makes sense!" Lin En sat there seriously and upright.


    Rustle—


    The female ghost''s cracked face slowly closed, and the sticky tentacles retracted into her body. She once again resumed the appearance of a graceful, mature woman.


    She stared with wide eyes, her hands on her chest, looking at the cute child in Lin En''s arms.


    For a moment, she seemed a bit uneasy.


    "I... I..."


    She avoided the innocent gaze of the child, looking as troubled as a newlywed girl.


    "Come, hold your own child." Lin En said with a serious face.


    The female ghost hesitantly turned her head, not daring to look at the child, her hands reaching forward uncertainly.


    Seeing this, Lin En didn''t hesitate and directly placed the child into the female ghost''s arms.


    "Yada~"


    The Blood Wraith Infant (?＞︶＜)? hugged the female ghost''s neck, sticking out its little tongue, licking her cheek with a slurp, leaving wet marks on her face.


    The female ghost stood there, bewildered and stiff, allowing her daughter to affectionately lick her.


    Clearly.


    She had never experienced such affection before.


    Because the fragments that fell from her body and turned into Blood Wraith Infants were all vicious, killing any living thing they saw.


    Even towards her, they never truly treated her as a mother.


    "How does it feel?" Lin En asked seriously:


    "Do you feel a sense of joy and sweetness from the bottom of your heart?"


    The female ghost, still bewildered, held the child and said, "Not quite used to it..."


    This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    Lin En nodded, giving a thumbs up, and said seriously, "That''s normal. The first time being a normal mother often comes with a bit of awkwardness, just like the first time making love, it feels embarrassing."


    "......"


    After a long time, the female ghost finally shook her head vigorously, her face returning to a cold expression, holding the child, she said:


    "Hmph! You sweet-talking imp, don''t think that just saying a few words can change the fact that my child has changed in your hands!"


    "I live next door now, and when I take an interest in you, I''ll sneak in at night and eat you."


    "Yada~~" The child (?＞︶＜)? licked the female ghost''s cheek again.


    The female ghost was once again bewildered.


    "Just wait and see!"


    ...


    Lin En maintained a smile on his face, drenched in sweat, as he watched the alluring woman carrying the Blood Wraith Infant walk out of the shop.


    After she left, Lin En finally breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing into his chair.


    Lin En muttered to himself, "No, I really need to quickly improve my combat abilities, otherwise, if I encounter such a situation again, I won''t be as lucky as I was today..."


    Moreover, the female ghost had already said.


    She would come looking for him again!


    Although today he managed to dispel her malice towards him, there''s no telling when she might suddenly decide to sneak in at night and deal with him on the spot.


    "I can only wait for tonight, the teacher should be back soon!"


    Lin En steadied his emotions.


    Then he opened the System space and took out the special reward he had just received.


    [Infectious Aura]


    [Quality]: Rare Passive Skill.


    [Description]: When engaging in persuasion activities, there is a high probability of increasing the persuasion level towards the target and reducing the target''s malice.


    [Attribute Bonus]: Proficiency in soothing permanently +1


    It was a skill!


    Lin En carefully read the description.


    He roughly understood the function of this skill.


    In other words.


    When conducting psychological counseling and other operations on a target, it can increase the success rate.


    In any case.


    It''s a pretty good auxiliary skill!


    "Learn!"


    Instantly.


    The skill book transformed into a stream of light and entered his body.


    His System panel immediately showed an additional passive skill.


    Time slowly passed.


    Lin En continued his daily monotonous and tedious work.


    "Knock knock knock—"


    A series of knocks came from outside the door.


    Lin En, who was dozing off, suddenly perked up, immediately putting on a professional smile, and looked up, saying:


    "Welcome..."


    A cold aura slowly seeped in from outside the door.


    In front of Lin En''s eyes appeared a tall and burly figure.


    Clad in a menacing black armor, with a gaunt and bone-white face, long bone-white hair draped behind, eyes flickering with a crimson glow.


    And behind him, he led a warhorse covered in ominous black fur.


    [Black Knight]


    [Level]: ???


    [Attribute]: Chaotic Neutral.


    [Combat Ability]: Extremely strong attack and defense.


    [Description]: A death knight wandering the dark world, possessing a strong battle intent, dedicated to challenging all the strong in the dark world, with a strong desire for power.


    Lin En was taken aback.


    Clearly.


    Another formidable figure had arrived!


    And judging by the attire and description, he definitely belonged to the elite boss category!


    Indeed, the Demon Hunter was right, many extraordinary beings had come near Wandering Soul Alley!


    "I need some powerful combat auxiliary potions."


    The Black Knight''s voice was hoarse.


    He took out a bloodstained money pouch from his chest, and the clinking of coins could be heard inside.


    "Your reward will be substantial."


    [Ding! You have triggered a task: Prepare powerful combat potions to satisfy the Black Knight, task reward: Basic experience +200, Skull Coins +100, Black Knight''s return rate +1]


    Finally, a normal customer!


    Lin En immediately stood up, maintaining a smile, and said:


    "Please come in, sir. You''ve come to the right place! In all of Wandering Soul Alley, only our Blood Saw Apothecary has the most advanced potions!"


    The Black Knight rasped, "Aren''t you the only apothecary within hundreds of miles?"


    The Black Knight walked through the door.


    The Soul Lanterns instantly swayed wildly.


    The armor emitted a creaking metal sound.


    A compelling aura emanated.


    Without a doubt.


    This was an incredibly powerful warrior!


    "Sir, what type of auxiliary potion do you need?" Lin En introduced with a smile.


    He then took down bottle after bottle of different potions from the counter, placing them on the table.


    "Our shop has all kinds of potions, with a wide variety, guaranteed to satisfy you."


    Lin En pushed a bottle of potion on the table towards the Black Knight.


    "For example, this one."


    "Strength Potion, it can significantly increase your attack power, it''s a best-seller in our shop, you can give it a try."


    The Black Knight glanced at it.


    He picked up the bottle, sniffed it, and then drank it in one gulp.


    [Ding! Crisis Level 10%]


    "Useless." The Black Knight rasped, putting down the potion bottle, saying:


    "The enhancement to my combat ability from this potion is negligible, are you mocking me?"


    Lin En immediately felt a powerful aura envelop him.


    Suppressing his heartbeat.


    Lin En immediately realized the potential danger of this task.


    In other words.


    If the Black Knight didn''t get a potion that satisfied him, he might resort to violence!
