Unforgettable coming-of-age gift

"Sister, didn't you say they wouldn't dare to cause trouble here?"

Upon hearing the shouting outside, Alexander's heart sank.

"Well... this isn't because of you, they're looking for me!"

Su Rong's face was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness, while the knocking outside grew increasingly fierce, as if proving her words.

"Su Rong, if you can borrow money, you can open the door!"

"Don't hide inside and not make a sound; I know you're home!"

"If you can borrow money, you can open the door!"

"If you don't pay the mortgage, I'll kick you out tomorrow!"

...

Listening to the shouting outside, Alexander was stunned.

There's so much information!

Is the ghost realm this difficult? They even have mortgages?

Su Rong gritted her teeth, got up from Alexander's arms, and opened the door.

Outside stood an extremely obese man.

His skin was pale and bloated like an inflated balloon, some parts even rotting away, with water dripping from his body.

This was a drowned ghost!

Alexander immediately identified the man's identity.

Just then, the drowned ghost's swollen, bulging eyes hanging on his face by several blood vessels also looked towards Alexander and smiled.

"So, there really is a living person here!"

"Michael, can you give me some more time? I didn't make much ghost money this month!" Su Rong was obviously wary of the drowned ghost.

"No money? If you don't have money, why did you buy a house like other ghosts!" The drowned ghost, Michael, changed his face instantly. "You were already behind last month; you must pay this month! A total of 6,000 ghost coins! How much are you short?"

"Short... short by 4,000!" Su Rong lowered her head.

"4,000? You haven't even gathered a month's worth?" The drowned ghost snorted coldly, looking at Alexander:

"How about you use him as collateral? Exactly 4,000! Hey, don't tell me you were planning this all along?"

The drowned ghost spoke while his eyes hanging on his face turned towards Alexander, and the corner of his mouth split, revealing a creepy smile.

"No, no! He's my guest, he can't be collateral!" Su Rong shook her head repeatedly.

"Then take your guest and get out of the apartment!" The drowned ghost yelled harshly.

"Wait!" Alexander couldn't help but interrupt. If they were really kicked out, there would be no rules to protect them outside.

No matter what happened to Su Rong, he would surely die!

Not caring about anything else, he stood up and said:

"You can pawn things here, right? Can ghost items be pawned?"

"Of course! You have something valuable? You're just a flesh worm that just passed the exam! Other than your body, what else could be worth anything?"

The drowned ghost looked very disdainful.

"How about this?" Alexander took out the bloodstained baseball bat.

"Trash, worth thirty at most!"

Only thirty ghost coins?

Alexander reached out again, this time for the cigarette with three straws removed.

"This is interesting; I'll give you a hundred ghost coins for it!"

One hundred and thirty!

Alexander gritted his teeth and took out the chainsaw with the human skin face.

"This is a good item, I'll give you 600!" The drowned ghost finally showed some interest, and his tone became slightly more cheerful.

What about these things?

Alexander simply took out all the items he got as system rewards, such as incense, candles, and paper money.

"How did a newbie like you get these things?" The drowned ghost licked the crack in his mouth, and the two eyeballs on his face seemed to rise slightly.

"You don't need to worry about that, just give me a price! Can these items together be worth 1,000?" Although Alexander was a bit scared, he remained calm on the surface.

"1,000? It's not quite enough, but I can agree to it! However..."

The drowned ghost waved his hand, and all the items on the ground were taken away. Then, he changed the subject and laughed, "There are still 3,000 left, right?"

Alexander also smiled, unhurriedly extending his hand. In his palm was the roll of 3,000 ghost coins given by Sofia.

"Are you trying to trick me?" The drowned ghost's eyeballs suddenly bulged, almost covering half of his face, staring at Alexander viciously.

"Michael, right? You said those items were worth 1,000, and you've already taken them. You wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word, would you?"

Alexander was gambling on the rules of the apartment complex.

Fortunately, he seemed to have made the right bet. The drowned ghost snorted and turned away, saying:

"I'll be back next month, and you won't be so lucky then!"

After the drowned ghost left, Su Rong and Alexander both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, thank you!" Su Rong gratefully squeezed Alexander's hand.

"What are you thanking me for? I told you I like you!" Alexander's smile was a bit bitter, but he still said it through his tears.

"Aren't you disgusted that I'm a ghost?" Suddenly, Su Rong raised her head and looked at Alexander seriously.

"Of course not, my love for you, Alexander, is not something that can be separated by life and death!"

"Congratulations on reaching a 100-point peak in favorability. Skill 'Social Communication Unhindered Charm Syndrome' special effect triggered! Obtain Su Rong's ultimate friendship reward, the Ghost Slave Contract!"

A piece of information suddenly appeared in Alexander's mind.

Favorability reached 100!

The ultimate reward, it sounds so impressive!

But what is this Ghost Slave Contract? Is it a contract with a ghost?

This time, the reward was completely different from before. There was only one item, and it didn't appear directly in Alexander's storage column. As countless thoughts raced through Alexander's mind, a mysterious black seal suddenly appeared in front of him.

Following that, two beams of black light shot towards Alexander and Su Rong's brows.

In the next moment, it seemed as if something had been added to Alexander's mind. It was a sense of control, as if everything about Su Rong was under his command.

As long as he wanted, he could summon, control, and even annihilate Su Rong at any time.

"Su Rong, at your service, Master!"

Su Rong bowed to Alexander, her face showing no reluctance, but instead a strong sense of attachment and affection.

"Don't be so serious, alright? You don't have to call me 'Master'." Alexander laughed and embraced Su Rong.

"Okay, got it!" Su Rong responded. The moment Alexander's hand touched her arm, he could clearly feel her body soften, and her skin even turned slightly flushed.

Was this contract a bit indecent? It wasn't like this before, was it?

Alexander muttered in his heart, then curiously asked, "Sister, what's the deal with this mortgage? Do you ghosts also need loans?"

"Shh!" As Alexander was speaking, Su Rong suddenly leaned forward, pressing herself against his chest, and placed a cold finger on his lips, "We have plenty of time. Let me serve you first, okay? I want to give my Master an unforgettable coming-of-age gift!"

Alexander's heart uncontrollably started pounding, and he asked with a slight tremble in his voice, "Is it possible? After all, we...we..."

"One is human, and the other is a ghost, right?" Su Rong smiled charmingly, not caring at all, and brought her cold lips closer to Alexander's ear, "Cold and icy, don't you want to try it? Besides, I have not only ice but also fire!"

As she spoke, Su Rong's finger gently moved up Alexander's arm, with a faint ghostly aura flickering. The temperature of her finger gradually increased, even becoming a bit hot in the end.
