"Who is it at this hour?" the voice asked.

Then, the door swung open.

Wanda, her hair disheveled, blinked rapidly as she rubbed her eyes hard. With a loud bang, the door slammed shut again. But the next second, it opened once more. Wanda's jaw dropped. "Ms. Locke, you're back!"

"Yes, I'm back," Madison replied.

Wanda froze for a moment, considering fixing her hair and clothes. However, when she caught sight of the man behind Madison, she was stunned.

"Ms. Locke, this is..." She was shocked by Raymond's appearance even though she had seen so many handsome men like Sebastian.

"Wow! Madison's back! "Mia's cheerful shout paused the lively atmosphere inside Haven House.

Some spirits, half-demons, as well as those appearing entirely human, turned to look at the entrance.

A snake the size of a man's thigh that was coiled around a lamp heard Mia's voice and plummeted from above, landing on the coffee table with a crash. The coffee table shattered. Madison was utterly speechless. She calmly surveyed the scene, and in an instant, the ten or so spirits in the room lowered their heads in fear.

Only Mia, oblivious to the situation, happily clung to Madison's leg. "Madison, why are you back so soon?"

Madison patted her head affectionately.

Yara stepped out from behind the crowd, clearly astonished. "Madison, are you a magnet for handsome men? Every man you know is better looking than the last!" Madison turned her gaze to the spirits in the room and said to Yara, "It's already late. Let's not disturb the neighbors."

Yara let out a dry laugh, then turned to communicate with the spirits, urging them to leave. The spirits all transformed into human form, politely exiting through the front door. Before leaving, they greeted Madison, who nodded slightly in response. Once they were far enough away, the spirits buzzed with excitement.

"Ms. Locke is even more beautiful up close!" one spirit exclaimed, awe evident in their voice.

"I've said it before. Ms. Locke is definitely not an ordinary person. She's got the air of a celestial being," another spirit chimed in, nodding enthusiastically.

"Ms. Locke won't be angry, right? I was a half-demon just now. Was I ugly? Ah! I can't believe I embarrassed myself in front of Ms. Locke on my first meeting! I can't go on living!" a third spirit lamented, their voice trembling with distress.

"Ms. Locke seems really approachable!" a fourth spirit added, a bright smile spreading across their face.

Their chatter gradually faded as Madison led Raymond inside. "This is Raymond Nimbus. He'll be living here from now on. Wanda, please arrange a room for him to stay."

After giving Wanda instructions, Madison turned to Yara.

Yara straightened up quickly, offering a flattering smile. "We were just feeling bored at home, and since we didn't want to trouble you by going out, we thought we'd invite some friends over to play."

Madison activated her spiritual energy, sending talismans flying around Haven House. "With so many spirits gathered, did you not think it would cause trouble?" Yara chuckled awkwardly. "This is your territory, right? With your talismans protecting us, no one would dare come and cause a scene. Don't worry, control!" Yara added.

I had it under

Madison knew that confining Yara and the others to her home was indeed too restrictive for them. But Yara and Mia were both powerful spirits. One was a thousand-year-old evil ghost and the other was a vengeful ghost. Although they both had clear astral bodies, they were easily influenced by their surroundings. The best solution was to keep them mostly within her range of spiritual energy.

"With two powerful ghosts and a dozen spirits, this place would've been a big temptation for cultivators. If any of those spirits had blood on their hands..." Madison warned, her expression serious as she assessed the situation.

Before Madison could finish, Jade spoke up softly, "No, Ms. Locke, don't worry. The spirits I invited here are all clean. None of them have blood debts. "We're all well-behaved spirits. We just want to live peacefully in the human world without being captured for experiments or hunted by cultivators for their elixirs."

Humans feared spirits, and spirits were also afraid of humans. Especially in recent years, human development had accelerated rapidly.
