Ghost Catching System

「The next day.」

Chu Hao arrived at the same quad courtyard as last time. Outside, an array of vehicles was parked—mostly top-tier configured SUVs, a testament to the Su Family’s wealth and power. A number of people clad in outdoor gear were busy arranging their equipment for the trip. Upon seeing Chu Hao, everyone acted as if they hadn’t seen him and kept their heads down, working.

Walking into the courtyard, Su Qingqi approached with a smile. ”Master Chu.”

Chu Hao asked, ”How many people are going this time?”

Su Qingqi didn’t hide anything. ”Five teams in total. Including you, that makes seventeen people.”

Chu Hao nodded.

Su Qingqi, who held considerable respect for Chu Hao, asked, ”We’re headed deep into the jungles of the Southern Region. Are you sure you don’t need to prepare anything?”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”No need.”

Su Qingqi nodded and returned to her tasks.

Chu Hao walked further into the courtyard and waited quietly for the convoy to depart. He didn’t need to prepare anything; with the Omnipotent System, he had even been to the Underworld.

At that moment, a few people walked out from the courtyard building, among them Su Muyue and Su Changyu.

Su Changyu, that old fox, beamed with enthusiasm at the sight of Chu Hao. He stepped forward, saying, ”Young friend Chu, you’ve finally arrived.”

Just as Chu Hao was about to ask when they would depart, a young woman to his left—not as beautiful as Su Muyue but with a fine figure—laughed lightly. ”So you’re Chu Hao? Chu Ritian?”

Chu Ritian was Chu Hao’s online celebrity name.

Su Changyu scolded, ”Little Ying, show some respect!”

The girl named Little Ying, however, looked unconcerned. She crossed her arms, looking Chu Hao up and down with a teasing smile.

What’s with her? Does she have a thing for Brother Hao or something?

Chu Hao couldn’t be bothered with her and asked, ”When do we leave?”

”We were just waiting for you, Young friend Chu. We leave right now,” Su Changyu said with a smile.

The group set off—five vehicles, all fully equipped.

Little Ying laughed. ”Sister Muyue, did Third Grandpa really arrange this to introduce him to you? Come on, tell us what you think.”

Su Muyue glared at her. ”Don’t stir up trouble.”

Little Ying, still unconcerned, even seemed a bit expectant as she mused, ”If Brother Zuo finds out, I wonder if he’ll end up killing that guy on the way?”

Kill Chu Hao!

Su Muyue grew worried. Although Chu Hao was certainly skilled, that was just in terms of combat ability. When it came to real adventuring, he had no experience whatsoever. The ”Brother Zuo” Little Ying mentioned was Zuo Lingyun, from the tomb-raiding Zuo Family, one of the Nine Gates of Huaxia.

Chu Hao got into a vehicle. Su Changyu, that old fox, had naturally arranged for Su Muyue and Chu Hao to be in the same car. Chu Hao had met Su Muyue before. The woman was indeed beautiful, but he was unaware of the Su Family’s intent to introduce her to him. Still, having a beautiful woman as a companion on the road is surely a hundred times better than traveling with a bunch of rough-and-tumble guys, right?

Zuo Lingyun arrived. He was a young man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with rather delicate features, a cold expression, and eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.

”Zuo Lingyun is here,” someone remarked.

Zuo Lingyun was quite famous among the younger generation of the Nine Gates of Huaxia. He was a tomb-raiding prodigy of the Zuo Family, and his status was not to be underestimated.

”They say Zuo Lingyun has a thing for Su Muyue. That Chu Hao guy is probably in for some bad luck.”

”Chu Hao in for bad luck? Are you nuts? Don’t you know who he is?”

”Is he that famous?”

”I’m truly speechless. You didn’t just crawl out from some remote mountain village, did you?”

Upon learning that Chu Hao was in the same car as Su Muyue, Zuo Lingyun’s face darkened. Many people knew that he, Zuo Lingyun, was quite fond of Su Muyue and had pursued her for a long time. Wasn’t the Su Family deliberately trying to embarrass him? Without a word, he ordered the driver out of the car and took the wheel himself.

Some people whispered, ”This is getting interesting. With those three in the same car, who knows what might happen.”

The convoy set off.

Inside one of the cars, Su Qingqi couldn’t help but ask, ”Third Grandpa, why did you put those three in the same car?”

Su Changyu, ever the crafty old fox, replied, ”Isn’t it quite the spectacle? Our Muyue isn’t so easily pursued. Now, let’s see which of these two men comes out on top.”

The Zuo and Su Families had always been close allies, and both hoped their younger generations would interact more. In fact, most people favored Zuo Lingyun and didn’t have high expectations for Chu Hao. Although Chu Hao was currently prominent, he had no significant background. The Zuo Family, on the other hand, was an illustrious clan in Huaxia.

To be honest, Chu Hao had no idea about the Su Family’s intentions, nor did he know that the man now driving was someone who fancied Su Muyue.

Chu Hao smiled. ”Beauty, we meet again.”

Su Muyue nodded, replying politely, ”Yes, we meet again.”

This woman’s voice is truly pleasant, like a fresh stream flowing into my mind. Her lips are thin, with a subtle pinkish-red hue—so sexy and alluring. I really want to lean over and kiss them. Honestly, Su Muyue was incredibly beautiful, deservedly one of the most sought-after top beauties among the Nine Gates of Huaxia. He remembered the He Tao incident. Back then, she had dressed so skillfully, a truly charismatic beauty. And this time they met, she wore leather pants that accentuated her long, enchanting legs, and an outdoor jacket that highlighted her full, shapely chest. Sitting beside her, there was a special fragrance, as if spring had arrived! The more Chu Hao looked, the more comfortable he felt. If only he could have an outdoor encounter with such a beauty... TSK, TSK... This trip would be a huge win!

Su Muyue also sensed his gaze. She was, in fact, quite curious about Chu Hao. This nineteen-year-old high school student possessed formidable strength and was a Ghost Demon master. She rarely paid such close attention to anyone. Ever since witnessing Chu Hao kill Jiang Yuran, she had been truly astounded by him. Although the two were silent, each harbored their own thoughts and had certain feelings about the other.

And Zuo Lingyun? Through the rearview mirror, he saw Chu Hao looking utterly content, his gaze on Su Muyue seemingly growing more satisfied by the second. Zuo Lingyun’s veins bulged with rage. Moreover, Su Muyue didn’t seem to dislike Chu Hao at all.

DAMN IT!

That’s supposed to be MY future woman, yet some little punk is staring at her like that! Who could stand for this?!

Therefore, Zuo Lingyun slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot forward frantically.

Chu Hao frowned. This guy was driving faster and faster, leaving the rest of the convoy far behind. He couldn’t help but say, ”Buddy, can you slow down? Watch out for roadblocks up ahead.”

Zuo Lingyun sneered, accelerating even more, pushing the car to two hundred miles an hour.

Su Muyue’s expression also turned grim. She knew perfectly well what Zuo Lingyun was up to. ”Slow down, please. I get carsick.”

Only then did Zuo Lingyun relent and reduce speed.

Chu Hao was annoyed. Who does this guy think he is? He ignores me but listens to the pretty girl.

Chu Hao said nonchalantly, ”Buddy, that’s not very cool of you.”

Zuo Lingyun wanted to curse. Who’s not being cool? You’re ogling my future woman! Just you wait, I’ll show you!

Zuo Lingyun’s face was stormy as he said, ”Chu Hao, I know who you are.”

Chu Hao replied cheerfully, ”Oh, so you’re a fan of mine, huh?”

Zuo Lingyun felt an urge to curse.
