Xiaowan immediately went back and shared the news with the other ghosts. When the ghosts found out, they were so angry that they were about to lose their heads. What cowardly humans dared to look down on the ghosts of Fujin Garden? Originally, they only intended to scare Lin Xinghe away, but now they just wanted to take their revenge and make her one of them.

“She already knew we were ghosts, and she must have been prepared.”

“After twelve o’clock, let’s kill her immediately and not give her any chance to call for backup.”

“We can’t break her barrier, it’s estimated that it will take awhile.”

“It doesn’t matter, we have a lot of ghosts. Let’s use the sea of ghosts tactics.”

“When she becomes a proprietor ghost, I’ll go to her door every day to bully and laugh at her, and she will suffer as a ghost.”

Deng Haotian and Manager An, who were locked in the air by Fu Zhou’s barrier, shivered.

They were very worried watching the small team of four ghost hunters and fifty ghosts fight from the VVIP seats. If Lin Xinghe and the others lost and were sacrificed by the ghosts, they would be stuck up there forever.

At this point, there were still three hours before midnight.

A man vs. ghost war was about to begin.

Deng Haotian, Manager An, and the group of ghosts all thought so.

But the party that was regarded as a small team of four ghost hunters was having dinner.

The food and drink arranged by Deng Haotian did not satisfy Lin Xinghe’s tastes very well.

It was rare to come to a place similar to her world. She skillfully turned on her phone, downloaded a food delivery app, and ordered the local specialty hot pot, roast duck, and various late-night snacks such as crayfish barbecue.

However, there was something unexpected about dinner.

Because of the hauntings in Fujin Garden, many riders were afraid to take orders, and Lin Xinghe had to pay double the money before someone was willing to deliver it.

Fujin Garden was located between the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, so its geographical location was remote. When dinner arrived, it was almost twelve o’clock already.

Fortunately, the heat preservation measures were in place, and the food was still hot.

Lin Xinghe, Jiuge, Fu Zhou and Xie Wuan sat next to the square hot pot table, while Xiao Xue Ji sat next to Lin Xinghe, holding a chocolate cone in her hand.

Lin Xinghe picked up a piece of well-marbled beef with her chopsticks and rinsed it in the mushroom soup base section.

Jiuge also ate from the mushroom soup base to preserve his health.

Fu Zhou had a soft spot for spicy hot pot, so he added a great amount of tripe into it.

Xie Wuan didn’t intend to try these mortal trappings, but seeing Lin Xinghe’s mukbang, he put a few slices of beef in the bottom of the tomato soup base pot. Lin Xinghe prepared two kinds of dipping sauces for him. One was sesame sauce, and the other was chili sauce.

Xie Wuan dipped it in sesame sauce, and after seeing him eating a slice of beef, Lin Xinghe asked him with a smile, “Does it match Xianjun’s expectations?”

Xie Wuan: “I’ve been fasting for a long time, and I rarely eat meat, but the taste is alright.”

Xie Wuan said in his heart, “…this is the beauty of the secular world. I’ll set up a hot pot table in my infinite space.”

Lin Xinghe was very used to Xie Wuan’s duplicity. She put some meat dishes into each of the four soup base pot section with a smile and said, “Come and eat, fatty beef and mutton don’t need to be boiled for too long. Fu Zhou, the tripe only needs to be rinsed for ten seconds, or else it will become tough.”

Xiao Xue Ji enjoyed the ice cream and wanted another one. Lin Xinghe added some fibrous vegetables to her bowl and said, “You can have another ice cream after eating the hot pot.”

Jiuge: “Eating too much ice causes hair loss. You are still young, but you need to lay a solid foundation.”

Fu Zhou: “Yes, I agree with this.”

Xiao Xue Ji looked at Xie Wuan eagerly.

Just as Xie Wuan was about to speak, Lin Xinghe said, “Xianjun, don’t spoil her, children can’t eat too much cold food.”

Xie Wuan didn’t say a word and went to eat the fatty beef slices.

Xiao Xue Ji’s facial features wrinkled, and she silently started eating carrots.

At this time, the hour hand pointed to twelve o’clock.

The fifty proprietors turned into their dead states and slowly approached the hot pot table like a crowd of zombies.

Both Deng Haotian and Manager An in the VVIP seats were shaking in their boots.

However, the villains were still happily cooking the hot pot.

Seeing this, the proprietor ghosts became even more angry and immediately roared. A gust of cold wind blew past. But Lin Xinghe at the hot pot table only glanced at her phone and said, “Oops! I forget, it’s past twelve o’clock!”

Lin Xinghe turned her head and said, “They’ve become ghosts.”

Fu Zhou: “My barrier is very stable, you don’t have to worry.”

Jiuge: “Yes, Fu Zhou is still trustworthy in this aspect.”

Xie Wuan: “Can we send up the ghosts?”

Lin Xinghe: “No, they’re the answer to our exam questions!”

She stood up and said to all the proprietors, “Neighbors, as the saying goes, (Chinese) people treat food as heaven. We’ll have a good time together after we finish cooking the hot pot! I also ordered a lot of late-night snacks for you. Those who want to eat hot pot can go to the next table to boil some food! The ingredients are fresh!”

She seemed to not see the terrifying death states of the proprietor ghosts and even said to a ghost whose intestines were sliding out, “Hey, be careful, don’t dip your intestines into the hot pot soup!”

After speaking, she sat down and continued to eat hot pot.

The group of ghosts looked at each other in confusion and started to attack them furiously.

Unexpectedly, they came into contact with the indestructible barrier that shielded Lin Xinghe’s group. No matter how hard they smashed tables and chairs onto the barrier or how much they chanted evil curses, the humans inside the enchantment were not affected at all and continued to happily eat hot pot!

Fifty proprietor ghosts:  …Fuck.
