Master Grim Reaper Makes His Debut in Center Position

Chapter 38

Ch38 - Thousand Li for Sending Someone
Speaking of his own underground network, although Master Lai steadily talked about the dao, he apparently had a connection with the underworld’s strongest.

“Three metres tall?” Lu Xu’s face wore an odd smile and he asked noncommittally, “Then the grim reaper is taller than me?”

“Of course.” Master Lai acted as if he had heard some joke. He rolled his eyes unnaturally at Lu Xu. “You’re just a human. Where did you get the courage to compare yourself to the grim reaper?”

“Meow…” Seeing Lu Xu and Ji Xiunian approach, Ba Mei got up and came over to welcome them.

Master Lai’s eyes flashed with impatience when he saw Ba Mei. “Where did this wild cat come from? Get out.”

His attitude was so vicious even Fan Zeng felt that it was a little overwhelming. He explained, “Ba Mei isn’t a stray cat, it’s Lu Xu’s little cutie…”

“How can something so sinister and evil be cute?” Before Fan Zeng could even finish speaking, Master Lai already interrupted him, curling his lips as he said, “Things like cats attract ghosts the most. I bet the ghosts in the building were brought in by this fat cat…”

“Meow…” Having been blatantly attacked by a person over its body, Ba Mei stopped in its tracks and stared at the person in front of it with some confusion.

“You can eat more but you can’t speak nonsense.” Lu Xu lifted the aggrieved Ba Mei, the smile on his face growing fainter. “My cat needs face too.”

Master Lai sniffed in disdain, his expression haughty. “Younguns these days, tut tut…”

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the disparagement was obvious.

In the many years of his career, almost everyone had acted extremely respectfully towards him. Suddenly Lu Xu had come along and appeared to be butting heads with him; Master Lai naturally felt displeased.

Faced with this strange atmosphere, Fan Zeng hurriedly came out to mediate. “If there are cats who attract ghosts then there must be cats who attract wealth. Our Ba Mei definitely is the kind that attracts wealth.”

But Master Lai didn’t give him any face and resolutely gave out his verdict. “Mr. Fan, if you want to make sure that the building isn’t haunted by ghosts, then you better get rid of this cat. It’s not gentlemanly behaviour to risk everyone’s safety for the sake of a cat.”

When Ji Xiunian heard this, he couldn’t help but frown. The more he thought, the more he felt that Master Lai’s words were harsh. He didn’t seem like the noble character that was exalted on the internet.

At this moment, his gaze cooled down. Seeing Master Lai continuously target Lu Xu and Ba Mei, Ji Xiunian felt that inviting this person over was a mistake from the beginning.

Just as he was thinking of opening his mouth to rebut this person, the Lu Xu on the other side acted like nothing had happened and asked curiously, “Master Lai, can I ask for your age? I saw online that you’re 50, but I think you look at the most in your early forties…”

“Ahem ahem…” Master Lai didn’t think Lu Xu would suddenly bring up his age. Hearing that he looked like he was in his forties made his tone slightly better. “I’m already 72, how do I look 40?”

After saying this, even Fan Zeng was amazed. “No way, I thought Master was around my age. I didn’t think you would be 20 or 30 years older than me; I thought you were my age!”

Fan Zeng didn’t say this as mere flattery; although Master Lai was rather stout, his outer appearance was really that of a middle-aged person.
