Ghost Catching System

A stream of pure black Ghost Qi wrapped around Qiu, who began to evolve. Its body, originally less than one meter tall, grew to three meters.

Enveloped in swirling black Qi, it resembled a ghostly serpent. Ridged horns sprouted on its head, and it finally no longer resembled a loach.

Qiu was very excited, swimming through the air like a dragon navigating the clouds, Ghost Qi swirling all over its body, emanating a bone-chilling coldness.

Qiu was very proud, continuously circling Diao Chan, as delighted as a child.

The pairing of Qiu with Diao Chan made Chu Hao think of Boa Hancock, the empress of the Seven Warlords of the Sea from One Piece.

Diao Chan was exceptionally beautiful with her classic oval face. Her eyes rippled like water, as if she were constantly and silently speaking volumes. Her long, lustrous black hair fell like a waterfall, draping perfectly over her slender shoulders...

Chu Hao thought that if he dressed Diao Chan in a cheongsam, she would definitely look like an empress.

Qiu was very proud, showing off its evolution in front of Chu Hao, as if daring him to call it a loach again.

As a result, Chu Hao said, ”Baby Diao Chan, you’re so beautiful. How about Brother Hao burns a cheongsam for you?”

With her cheeks blushing, Diao Chan said, ”Yes, Master.”

”Don’t call me Master anymore. From now on, just call me Brother Chu Hao,” Chu Hao said with a wave of his hand.

”Brother Chu Hao,” Diao Chan called out sweetly.

Qiu’s heart took ten thousand points of critical damage. Was my evolution merely to serve as a foil for Little Master Diao Chan?

Past the southern part of Anli City lies the great Daxinganling of Heilongjiang Province.

Daxinganling is shrouded in mystery and is the largest primordial forest in Huaxia Country.

Stretching from the banks of the Heilongjiang River to the upper valleys of the Xilamulun River, the primordial forest of Daxinganling is dense, filled with a variety of medicinal herbs and timber resources.

The region’s wildlife is beyond count, and there have been news reports of sightings of three-meter-tall wild men.

Were those wild men? No one could say for sure.

Deep within Daxinganling, amidst the lush and breathtakingly beautiful landscape, foxes were notably plentiful.

Underneath an ancient tree that had survived for ten thousand years, the massive tree stood robust, with dragon-like roots spreading out in a fifty-meter radius.

Beneath the tree lay an enormous fox, as big as a cow, covered in snow-white fur. Impressively, it had six tails. Its charming eyes, much like those of a human, shimmered with captivating colors.

As the Flirty Ghost King’s last clone approached death, it struggled to reach this place.

She knelt on the ground, pleading tearfully, ”Lord Immortal Fox, please avenge me.”

The Six-tailed White Fox looked indifferently at the Flirty Ghost King and spoke in human language, ”You have caused chaos in the outside world. I warned you before, but you did not listen. Now you come to me. Do you think I will help you?”

Biting her lip, the Flirty Ghost King said, ”Lord Immortal Fox, I know I’m about to be annihilated, but I have come here to report something: the True Word Brush has appeared in this world.”

The eyes of the Six-tailed White Fox glittered. ”The Taoist True Word Brush?”

”Yes, it is in the hands of the man who was about to kill me. His name is Chu Hao,” said the Flirty Ghost King.

The Six-tailed White Fox said, ”This information is not bad. I will avenge you. But... if your enemy is too strong, I cannot help you either.”

”Thank you, Lord Immortal Fox.” The Flirty Ghost King’s last wisp of a clone vanished into ash.

The Six-tailed White Fox stood up, its fur like a layer of white snow. She then spoke, ”Yun’er, Qi’er.”

From the forest, two little foxes emerged. The Six-tailed White Fox blew a breath toward them.

Suddenly, the two little foxes transformed into human form, becoming extremely beautiful women, just like fox spirits from a painting.

The two foxes, overwhelmed with excitement, knelt down. ”We greet Your Majesty.”

”Go to Anli City,” the Six-tailed White Fox commanded. ”Investigate the whereabouts of the True Word Brush. And... if the enemy is formidable, wait for my arrival.”

”As you command, Your Majesty.”

「...」

The winds of change were surging in Anli City. In a corner of a park, a man wearing a hat crouched on some steps. From his silhouette, one could see that he was extraordinarily handsome, exuding an unnaturally charming and wicked aura.

In the park, many girls noticed this man, their hearts fluttering wildly, itching to ask for his number.

At that moment, a butterfly landed on the hatted man’s shoulder.

After a while, the hatted man whispered, ”I know.”

A girl, who was fairly attractive, couldn’t help but approach him, shyly asking, ”You... you’re so handsome. Can I have your phone number?”

The man lifted his head, revealing a pair of eyes like a starry dream, instantly mesmerizing the girl.

So... so handsome! the girl’s heart pounded fiercely.

The man walked forward and softly lifted a strand of the girl’s hair. Her friends from afar exclaimed, all envious of the girl who had dared to approach him.

The man said softly, ”You should be prepared.”

”What!”

Then, the man’s eyes dramatically altered, morphing from regular human eyes into serpent-like pupils that glowed with a chilling green light. Two sharp fangs appeared at the sides of his mouth as he leaned down and gently bit into the girl’s pristine neck.

GURGLE, GURGLE.

He swallowed her blood, gulp by gulp.

The girl’s body went limp, and she fainted.

The man looked up at the night sky and murmured, ”The True Word Brush, Taoism’s ultimate treasure. Very interesting.”

Then, the man left the park.

「...」

Meanwhile, Zeming Taoist was trembling all over, his face swollen beyond recognition. Just as he took out his phone and was about to make a call, he suddenly heard a voice say, ”Zeming.”

Zeming turned around, his face swollen like a pig’s head but ecstatic. ”Uncle Yan, I was just about to call you! Chu Hao has been found.”

Uncle Yan nodded, then couldn’t help but exclaim, ”Zeming, your face!”

Zeming, clutching his swollen, pig-like face, said indignantly, ”That bastard Chu Hao did this! He...”

Uncle Yan gestured to stop him. ”You must have offended him in some way; otherwise, why would he hit you?”

Zeming replied, ”No, Uncle Yan! I just said that the True Word Brush is a treasure of Taoism and asked him to return it. Without another word, he beat me up! He even said that all of us from Taoism are trash and thoroughly cursed our Maoshan Patriarch!”

Uncle Yan raised his eyebrows, angered. ”Really?”

Zeming hastily responded, ”Absolutely true! This person is inherently evil. If someone like him uses the True Word Brush to harm the common people, the consequences will be disastrous. Uncle Yan... you must stop him.”

Uncle Yan nodded, his tone slightly tinged with anger. ”Indeed. Not only has our Mao Mountain’s Taoism sect come to Anli City, but recently even demons have been coming to snatch the True Word Brush. If they were to obtain it, our Taoism would be at a great disadvantage.”

Zeming said, ”Uncle Yan, I heard that the Ghost King from the Southwestern Region has already given the order. Right now, Anli City is probably teeming with evil demons and monsters from all sorts of backgrounds.”

”The Ghost King from the Southwestern Region has gotten involved too?” Uncle Yan’s expression soured.

Zeming said angrily, ”It’s all trouble caused by Chu Hao!”

Uncle Yan stated coldly, ”We must secure the True Word Brush first; it cannot fall into the hands of Evil Spirits and Demons.”
