Meng Qing inherited his family's estate and opened a small noodle shop. He spent his days making noodles and collecting rent, and things seemed pretty good.
The only problem was that he owned just a tiny bit too many buildings, scattered across all sorts of planes. *lights cigarette.jpg*
He often had to rush from plane to plane, working himself to the bone because he couldn't collect the rent on time.
Life is hard, Meng Qing sighed.
One day, after entering an infinite-flow plane, Meng Qing was still thinking about how to collect rent safely and reasonably when an evil spirit latched onto him. He couldn't even crush a chicken.
Meng Qing: ...
Is it too late to scream for help?
Then he saw a handsome man tame the evil spirit until it was completely docile. It practically wanted to put Meng Qing on a pedestal and worship him as its savior, stopping just short of kowtowing.
Meng Qing: No need for all that, buddy. Calm down.
“Thank you.”
The handsome man cleared his throat. “...Could you lower my rent?”
Meng Qing: ?
“Sure.”
And just like that, he gained a bodyguard who appeared at irregular intervals.
Later, after encountering more evil spirits, Meng Qing got used to it. Someone always stepped in to help, but... these strangers looked just a tiny bit familiar.
Meng Qing ventured a guess: “Are you tenants?”
The “tenants”: He recognized us. So embarrassing (*/ω\*)
Then they turned to face the evil spirits with murderous glares.
The helpless, hapless evil spirits: ...
F-Fuck!
And so that evil spirit got beaten up by all the big shots just for breathing.
The evil spirit wept: T-that's too much.
You all have double standards down to a fine art!
