Ghost Catching System

”There are quite a few people who know me, but I never expected to meet a fan of mine here.”

This guy is way too narcissistic. Who the hell is his fan?

Zuo Lingyun continued with a sullen face, ”I am from the Zuo Family of the Nine Gates of Huaxia. You’ve heard of us, haven’t you?”

Chu Hao thought for a moment and said, ”The Yan Family, the He Family, the Su Family. Speaking of which, I don’t really know any family ranked after the top three in the Nine Gates.”

He’s basically dissing me with those words, isn’t he?

Though the Zuo Family might not be in the top three of the Nine Gates of Huaxia, every prestigious family has its strengths and weaknesses. Does this guy even understand that?

Zuo Lingyun was holding back his anger, thinking, When we get inside King Chu’s Tomb, I’m going to settle the score with him.

Eight hours in the car, with no highway access the entire way, only winding national roads that had been built decades ago and were full of detours.

Chu Hao was dizzy from all the winding roads and couldn’t help resting his head gently on Su Muyue’s shoulder, falling into a deep sleep.

Zuo Lingyun glanced over.

You son of a...! I’m driving here, and he’s ”sleeping” with my woman!

So with a sharp swerve, Chu Hao’s head was involuntarily flung into Su Muyue’s chest, sinking deep, deep into it.

Su Muyue let out a startled cry.

Zuo Lingyun was going insane.

”Ding... Host has received 700 Pretentiousness Points for enraging an arrogant person.”

Chu Hao was speechless. Even sleeping could be pretentious.

Brother Hao is unmatched. Who else is there?

By the way, Su Muyue’s chest was really soft, and it smelled so milky and nice. How about another go?

Su Muyue pushed Chu Hao away. There was saliva from Chu Hao’s sleep on her chest clothing, and with her face flushed red, she angrily said, ”Zuo Lingyun, just focus on driving properly.”

Seeing Su Muyue was truly angry, Zuo Lingyun was also speechless. What the heck is going on? That kid buried his head in her chest and she didn’t scold him, but she’s scolding me?

”Sorry, Mu Yue, I’ve been driving for seven or eight hours, I’m really sleepy,” he said.

Su Muyue gritted her teeth and said, ”Then let me drive.”

Zuo Lingyun quickly said, ”How can I let you drive? Chu Hao, you drive.”

Chu Hao, yawning and bleary-eyed, said, ”I’m pretty tired too. Miss Mu Yue, may I lean on your shoulder?”

This kid is just pushing his luck too far.

Zuo Lingyun’s phone rang, telling everyone to rest in a village ahead as it was getting dark. The national road was said to be very dangerous; if you drive at night, animals might run onto the road.

When they reached the village, the village head welcomed everyone enthusiastically.

Su Changyu asked, ”Brother, are we close to Jinglong Mountain?”

The village head replied in astonishment, ”Are you heading to Jinglong Mountain?”

”Yes!”

The village head muttered, ”Why are so many people heading to Jinglong Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly inquired what kind of people they were.

The village head said, ”Lots of people. There have already been three caravans that went.”

Anxious, Su Changyu said, ”No rest, we drive through the night, we need to hurry.”

Upon hearing this, everyone decided to continue driving through the night without resting.

Zuo Lingyun stopped driving and sat in the passenger seat. He would occasionally turn back, staring at the sleeping Chu Hao, whose head was resting on Su Muyue’s shoulder, and he was grinding his teeth in frustration.

And Su Muyue, as if she didn’t see anything, just closed her eyes to sleep.

「Three days later, they finally reached their destination.」

Essentially, they had driven the car deep into the mountains. Zuo Lingyun got out to take a look and said, ”We can’t go any further, there’s no road ahead.”

It was clear that the path they had taken was built by hand and had been there for many years.

Su Changyu asked a middle-aged man, ”How much farther is it?”

This middle-aged man was the only one from the Su Family who had been to Jinglong Mountain and had even found the Tomb of King Chu. He said, ”Once we cross this mountain range, we’ll reach Jinglong Mountain. However, this path is difficult to navigate. The local mountain people say this mountain range is called Python Mountain and that it is teeming with pythons.”

”Get out of the car, it’s time to start walking.”

Chu Hao stretched his arms and looked at the mountain range ahead. The entire range resembled a giant python lying in wait, and he couldn’t help but say, ”Earth Dragon Vein.”

Su Changyu, surprised, said, ”Young friend Chu, you know how to read geomancy too?”

”I know a little,” replied Chu Hao.

Zuo Lingyun felt irritated inside. He had also recognized it as the Earth Dragon Vein, but he hadn’t expected Chu Hao to be able to see it as well.

Su Muyue also said, ”The Earth Dragon Vein, channeling the grand power of heaven and earth, those buried deep within are certainly not ordinary.”

Zuo Lingyun couldn’t resist making a sarcastic remark, ”Speaking of which, the person buried inside is one of your ancestors, isn’t it, Chu Hao?”

Chu Hao’s identity as a descendant of King Chu had already been leaked, and many people were mocking him. They thought it was ridiculous that this kid was actually helping outsiders to rob his ancestor’s tomb.

However, Chu Hao responded indifferently, ”Before you mock me, I hope you still have a life to get out of here.”

Zuo Lingyun’s heart tightened. Although he had found Chu Hao unbearable along the way, the latter’s strength was certainly not something he could withstand. If he acted impulsively here, he was bound to be at a disadvantage.

I’ll tolerate him for now, but just wait until we reach our destination, and I’ll see how I deal with him.

Su Changyu quickly tried to defuse the tension, ”We’ll be relying on the young friend’s care along the way.”

”Care”! Chu Hao sneered inwardly. Does Su Changyu really think I’m a fool? He hasn’t found any news about the Chu Family’s descendants, and now he expects me to be pleasant to people robbing my ancestor’s tomb? Fat chance. Still, I don’t want to start a fight with him before we reach our destination.

The group set off, with experienced explorers leading the way. Everyone followed behind. Chu Hao seemed quite relaxed, walking at the very back, looking around as if he were on a journey.

Along the way, they encountered many snakes, small and various, all with potent venom.

But everyone in this team was extremely professional, with sharp eyes that quickly killed any snake they spotted.

Chu Hao, who was walking at the back, said indifferently, ”There’s someone ahead.”

The group was taken aback; there was no one ahead.

”’Playing tricks and acting mysterious,’” Zuo Lingyun sneered and continued to walk forward. Suddenly, his ankle was grabbed by something and he fell headfirst to the ground, swearing furiously.

”Is there really someone?” one of the group members exclaimed. They were all astonished to see a dead man sitting behind a large tree.

This was a foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes. His body was blackened, seemingly poisoned to death several days ago.

”A foreigner?”

The group was astonished to see a foreigner in this place.

Su Changyu cursed, ”Damn, are foreigners also meddling in this?”

The news about the Tomb of King Chu was only known by the Nine Gates of Huaxia. Which idiot had leaked the information and attracted foreigners?

”He was poisoned by snake venom,” said one of the explorers.

Chu Hao stepped forward and searched the man’s body, finding a silver handgun— a high-end Desert Eagle with formidable power.

As for guns, all men are interested. Many in the team were armed, all but him. So Chu Hao casually slid the gun into his pocket.

Suddenly, a verdant green snake crawled out from the corpse’s chest, flicking its forked tongue.

Su Muyue’s complexion changed dramatically, ”Be careful!!”
