Ghost Catching System

Item: Ginseng Doll

Rarity: ★★★

Ability: Restores a ghost’s physical body

Awesome! The moment I’ve been dreaming of has finally arrived!

Chu Hao, excited, fed the Ginseng Doll to Diao Chan.

Suddenly, Diao Chan was enveloped by a silver glow and floated in mid-air. This state was incredibly cool, almost like Yue Liang’s transformation; Chu Hao was completely mesmerized.

”DING... Diao Chan has consumed the Ginseng Doll; physical body restoration in progress.”

”DING... System upgrade initiating character customization. Does the Host wish to activate Diao Chan’s profession? Reminder: The profession will determine Diao Chan’s future path and strength. Please choose seriously.”

Activate profession! Could it be that after restoring her physical body, Diao Chan could have a profession, just like me?

Chu Hao eagerly asked, ”What professions are available?”

System: ”Yin Yang Master profession. Development path: ghost-exorcising.”

System: ”Demon Slayer profession. Development path: demon-exorcising.”

Diao Chan is such a cute girl. Having her fight demons... it feels like she’d turn into a tomboy, which seems a bit odd. A Yin Yang Master would be better.

”Yin Yang Master it is.”

”DING... Host has selected Diao Chan’s profession as Yin Yang Master; customizing…”

”DING... Customization successful.”

He checked Diao Chan’s attribute interface again.

Description: Soul inhabiting flesh. Not a true living being; Yin body is weak.

Chu Hao, confused, asked, ”What does ’Yin body is weak’ mean?”

The System explained, ”The Ginseng Doll only creates a physical form. Diao Chan is in a state of possession, and the internal structure must not be damaged, or it will harm her soul.”

Cannot damage the internal structure! Chu Hao had a bad feeling and demanded, ”System, you better explain clearly what you mean by ’cannot damage the internal structure!’”

The System contemptuously replied, ”It means the Host cannot copulate with this constructed body.”

Screw your grandpa! Chu Hao felt as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing this news.

Damn it! So I spent ten thousand Pretentiousness Points just for a glorified flesh vase? I can only look but not touch? This is so damn ridiculous! Chu Hao was on the verge of tears, his hopes shattered in an instant, as if he had swallowed a dead fly.

Finally, the luminescent glow around Diao Chan shattered, and an incredibly beautiful girl opened her eyes.

Diao Chan had regained her physical body; she now truly existed, no longer a ghost. Moreover, as a Yin Yang Master, she was already dressed in exquisite Yin Yang Master attire.

Her pitch-black hair naturally cascaded over her shoulders. Her eyes were clear and bright, framed by gently curved eyebrows and long, slightly trembling eyelashes. Her skin was fair and flawless, with a soft pinkish hue, and her thin lips were as delicate and dewy as rose petals.

This was Diao Chan in the flesh, no longer her ghostly form; she exuded a tangible presence.

Diao Chan, brimming with excitement, threw herself into Chu Hao’s arms and hugged him tightly.

”I finally have a physical body!” exclaimed an overjoyed Diao Chan.

Chu Hao felt utterly dejected, but seeing Diao Chan so happy provided some consolation. Even if it cost a mountain of Pretentiousness Points, it was worth it for Diao Chan to have a physical body.

This naturally led to the next question. Chu Hao asked, ”System, when can I... you know... with Diao Chan?”

System: ”You need to purchase the Resurrection Scripture.”

Chu Hao quickly opened the System to check how many Pretentiousness Points were needed for the Resurrection Scripture, and he immediately fell into despair.

Two hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points!

Chu Hao’s face was filled with resentment. This is too absurd—it’s like giving you a piece of candy only to slap you in the face!

Chu Hao complained angrily, ”System, are you trying to scam me? Is this really the only condition for full resurrection?”

System: ”Contemptible Host. You’re no longer some primary school Ghost-catcher. Did you really think such a meager amount of Pretentiousness Points could fully resurrect a person? Even a god couldn’t achieve that!”

Indeed, after familiarizing himself with this field, Chu Hao understood how extremely difficult it was to resurrect someone.

Resurrection Scripture

Rarity: ★★★★★★ (six stars)

Ability: Resurrection, requires Mana Points to cast

No wonder the Resurrection Scripture cost two hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points; as long as one could provide the Mana Points, one could resurrect a person.

Diao Chan asked with her large, captivating eyes, ”Is Brother Chu unhappy?”

Chu Hao snapped back to his senses and pinched Diao Chan’s delicate nose, saying, ”Not at all! I’m very happy. How will Baby Diao Chan repay me?”

Diao Chan blushed shyly, lowering her head like a ripe red apple. She nervously fiddled with her fingers and said, ”You... how do you want me to repay you?”

Chu Hao was thrilled. He hugged Diao Chan and brought his face closer to hers.

System: ”Host, don’t get carried away. Be careful not to harm Diao Chan’s soul.”

”Damn it! Shut up.”

Chu Hao pushed Diao Chan down on the bed, looking at her happily. Although we can’t do ’that,’ Diao Chan has little hands, a little mouth, and even feet.

Especially her small feet, with their tender, bare soles and crystalline toes. They looked like jewels and were incredibly enticing.

I could play with these toes for ten years!

Chu Hao laughed heartily, admiring his own ingenious idea. How could I, Brother Hao, ever admit defeat?! I’m like an unkillable cockroach, relentlessly seeking out every last scrap!

Thinking this, Chu Hao was already burning with desire. He said, ”Baby Diao Chan, how about we play with your feet?”

Diao Chan’s cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, and she nodded. ”Okay.”

Chu Hao was ecstatic!

Diao Chan sat at the head of the bed while Chu Hao sprawled out, getting ready to enjoy himself.

Just as Diao Chan was about to place her little feet on Chu Hao’s body, his phone rang.

Chu Hao originally didn’t intend to answer it, but when he saw the caller ID, it was Yi Qinglian.

Chu Hao felt helpless. It was already past two in the morning, yet he still answered the call. ”Qinglian.”

On the other end, Yi Qinglian sighed in relief, patted her chest, and said, ”Chu Hao, I’m glad you’re okay.”

Chu Hao was deeply moved. Yi Qinglian still cared about him the most, staying up so late waiting for him.

Chu Hao smiled and said, ”I’m back now. I’ll return tomorrow.”

Yi Qinglian’s tone became much steadier as she said, ”Do you know how worried I get? If you keep this up, I’m going to ignore you in the future.”

He could tell that Yi Qinglian was genuinely a bit angry.

Chu Hao felt a sweet warmth in his heart and asked, ”Qinglian, did you miss me?”

Yi Qinglian was silent for a moment on the other end, then she said, ”Chu Hao, I... I might be leaving.”

Chu Hao frowned and asked, ”Where are you going?”

”To the Western Regions. My family has made arrangements for me. There’s a master there who might be able to cure me.”

The Western Regions? The ancient area of Xinjiang... What Western Regions could there possibly be now?

Chu Hao’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said, ”Don’t go. Give me some more time, and I will be able to cure you.”

On the other end of the line, Yi Qinglian laughed weakly and said, ”I only have nine months left. I want to give it a try. If it doesn’t work, can I come back to you then?”

Chu Hao’s heart softened, and he said, ”I’ll go with you.”

”No need. I’ll be protected the entire trip; I’ll be very safe,” Yi Qinglian said.
