Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao nodded. Cao Shanhe had sent over quite a few congratulatory gifts, among them various precious trees, including an ancient pine bonsai valued at five hundred thousand.

Chu Hao curled his lips. ”Boss Cao really puts in the effort. Is this your way of bribing me?”

Cao Shanhe laughed heartily. ”Just a modest gift. I’ll head upstairs first. Master Chu, you must introduce me to some fine items.”

Cao Shanhe probably didn’t expect Qin Boren to be there too; those two were rivals in Anli City.

Liu Qingyan came up to Chu Hao’s side and whispered, ”Master Chu, can our agreement still be fulfilled?”

Chu Hao was a bit puzzled. ”What agreement do I have with you?”

”Tonight, come to my hotel room. Any secret I have, I’ll tell you everything,” Liu Qingyan said with a mischievous smile.

Damn! This woman is flirting with me again; does she think I’m a pushover? Chu Hao didn’t care about Cao Shanhe’s presence; he wanted to slap that goblin on the rear.

Just then, a voice rang out, ”Chu Hao, someone is looking for you.”

It was Luo Yan. She saw Liu Qingyan whispering in Chu Hao’s ear—those movements, that look of affection. As a woman, Luo Yan clearly sensed that Chu Hao was being ’teased.’

Chu Hao reluctantly held back his hand.

Liu Qingyan chuckled lightly, sizing up Luo Yan. This woman is truly stunning! Then, swaying her serpent-like waist, she also went upstairs.

This Liu Qingyan, what a woman! She truly has no sense of propriety, even daring to tease me, Divine Master Bi Wang! I need to teach her a proper lesson.

”Who’s looking for me?” Chu Hao asked.

”There! A lovely young lady, truly beautiful.”

Luo Yan’s eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled. She was also a top-notch beauty, but it was hard to figure out what she was really thinking.

Chu Hao looked towards the entrance. Indeed, he saw a girl in a pink off-shoulder short dress. She was cute and charming, with layers of lace on the hem and long, curly hair draped over her shoulders.

This girl was incredibly cute, wearing large-framed glasses, looking like she had stepped right out of an anime. Her figure was absolutely sensational.

Chu Hao glanced at her and instantly took a liking to her. His heart pounded as he approached and said, ”Hello, you are...?”

The girl smiled. ”Who do you think I am?”

That clear and pleasant voice, carrying a light fragrance and full of magnetic allure... Yi Qinglian?

Chu Hao was stunned. Yi Qinglian’s disguises were so varied; he hadn’t recognized her at first glance.

No wonder she’s a master of disguise; even reconnaissance soldiers couldn’t compare to her!

No wonder Brother Hao got so excited at just one glance; it turned out to be my star fiancée! Chu Hao quickly asked, ”When did you get back?”

”Just arrived today.”

”All by yourself?”

”Of course not.”

Tang Mo entered. The moment she saw Chu Hao, her expression visibly soured. She remembered the last time Chu Hao had taken her and Yi Qinglian through the ’back door,’ and it still felt profoundly odd.

Chu Hao cleared his throat. ”Ah, that explains it. You have someone protecting you.”

Yi Qinglian nodded. She was dressed very cutely today and smiled. ”Chu Hao, thank you for saving me last time.”

Last time, her situation had been extremely dangerous. When she woke up and learned that Chu Hao had saved her, she had felt incredibly moved.

Chu Hao laughed heartily. In front of Yi Qinglian, he always felt very happy. Perhaps this is what being in love feels like?

Although, Yi Qinglian hadn’t really admitted it yet.

Chu Hao brazenly asked, ”Is there no reward?”

Tang Mo, standing nearby, snorted coldly. ”What kind of reward do you want? How about coming to my place tonight? Big sister here can teach you how to steam fish on an iron plate.”

Damn, this woman is a veritable T-Rex!

Yi Qinglian blushed. She tiptoed, and her tender red lips gently brushed Chu Hao’s cheek. Lowering her head shyly, she said, ”This is your reward. Don’t think about anything inappropriate, and quickly forget about it.”

Tang Mo covered her forehead. Has this girl completely fallen for him?

Chu Hao touched his cheek blankly, feeling as if his heart was about to take flight. He wished he could kiss her again.

Tang Mo said from the side, ”You’re lucky, little guy. Qinglian, let’s go upstairs.”

Yi Qinglian’s face turned red, looking just like the sweet girl next door.

Chu Hao’s mood immediately improved. Quite a few more people arrived, such as Zhang Qun, the chairman of Shanshui Group, and many others who had helped Chu Hao before.

Ke Ke and her dad arrived. The little girl looked cute and tender, and her chest, notably even larger than that of a mature woman, was very eye-catching.

Everything went smoothly, attracting many customers.

”Auntie,” Ke Ke said when she saw Liang Qian, and ran over to hug her aunt’s thigh.

Liang Qian was busy. She still couldn’t believe that she, one of the formidable Twelve Protectors of the Nether Cult, once such a mighty figure, had actually become a sales clerk!

However, her spirits lifted a bit when she saw Dong Qi. He was passionately introducing products, looking so utterly professional that one might think he was a star salesman hired by the store.

Dong Qi was saying, ”Look at this string of Bodhi seeds, called Bodhi Hand Beads. They’re handcrafted. Wear them, and unclean things won’t dare to come near; in summer, they even help keep you cool. I can see that you two have been troubled by something lately; such a state makes one susceptible to unclean things. Why not take these back with you? If they’re fake, I guarantee a five-fold refund!”

”Are you two a couple? This pendant would suit you well. Since today is the grand opening, there’s a 30% discount. Only thirty-six thousand for the two pendants—a real bargain!”

Such masterful salesmanship! Liang Qian felt a flicker of amusement and was somewhat consoled.

There was also Chen Fugui, who had once hired someone to kill Chu Hao. He was now passionately introducing products to a group of girls, his words flowing energetically.

He had no choice. To ensure he could stay here peacefully in the future and that Chu Hao wouldn’t cause him trouble, Chen Fugui had even stayed up late the previous night studying sales books.

If any of his fellow assassins saw the Pope in this state, they would certainly be dumbfounded.

Zhang Qin’ai was a natural-born salesperson and, on top of that, quite beautiful.

Chu Hao gave her a very high commission. She calculated that she could earn at least one hundred thousand a month.

One hundred thousand a month! What an amazing job this is!

Honestly, Liang Qian found herself somewhat looking forward to this kind of life. Perhaps it was because of Chu Hao. Even if people from the Nether Cult came after them, they would have Chu Hao to rely on. It was so different from before, when they were constantly undertaking various missions.

”Ke Ke, play by yourself; your auntie is busy,” Liang Qian said with a smile.

Ke Ke was also happy and curious about all sorts of things, running around Sanqing Pavilion.

Just then, two people walked into the shop. They looked ordinary, but they were completely taken aback when they saw Dong Qi, saliva flying as he pitched products, and the stunningly beautiful saleswoman, Liang Qian.

Yes, these two were from the Nether Cult, and naturally, they recognized the infamous Dong Qi and Liang Qian.

”What am I seeing? Two Protectors actually working as salespeople?” one of them whispered incredulously.

The other person was equally disconcerted. ”Ghost Princess Protector, Dong Qi Protector! We must report this to the Deputy Cult Leader at once!”

Sanqing Pavilion was bustling when a group of people walked in.

They were dressed in work uniforms and shouted, ”This store is not abiding by the rules and will be shut down!”

Everyone was startled. Have these people really come?
