Ghost Catching System

Bai Ling reminisced, ”TKV provides karaoke audio-visual equipment and a space for singing and viewing, broadly understood as karaoke. Its main business also includes serving alcoholic beverages. It’s a nighttime entertainment venue, right?”

Chu Hao felt a headache coming on. It has only been a few days, how much has she already learned?

Bai Ling said playfully, ”Interesting. Many things in this era didn’t exist in mine.”

Look at her. A while ago, she was referring to herself as ’this one,’ and now it’s ’I.’ In her own words, ’When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’

Chu Hao said awkwardly, ”Well... then I should go. My classmates are waiting.”

Chu Hao turned to leave, afraid Bai Ling would say something else to provoke him.

Bai Ling said, ”Wait.”

With a stiff neck, Chu Hao turned his head and said with a forced smile, ”Sister Bai Ling, is there anything else?”

Bai Ling said, ”I’ll go with you.”

Holy crap!!

You’re going with me?

Won’t that cause an uproar?

Chu Hao said anxiously, ”That wouldn’t be appropriate. This... this is a gathering for my classmates; there are no outsiders. If you want to go to a KTV, I’ll take you some other day.”

Bai Ling walked up to Chu Hao, standing only inches away, close enough for them to hear each other’s breathing. She said, ”What are you so nervous about? Do you have a guilty conscience?”

Chu Hao stammered, ”I... I don’t. It’s just a get-together.”

Bai Ling picked up a psychology book from the tea table, flipping through it leisurely. ”When people are nervous,” she said slowly, ”they consciously try to avoid the question. If it’s really just a get-together, why are you so tense?”

Chu Hao’s eyes widened.

With a cold laugh, Bai Ling continued, ”Besides, gatherings are for people’s own socializing or entertainment. During such events, men and women can develop friendships, or even romantic feelings fueled by hormones. Male reactions are the most obvious, and your current behavior is almost textbook. Am I right?”

Your ancestors’ ¥#@¥...

Chu Hao’s face darkened; he wished he could find the author of that psychology book and strangle them.

Oh, heavens!

Why do You have to mess with me like this? What on earth has this demoness been reading? How could she master psychology in just a few days?

Bai Ling added, her tone icy, ”Just now, your brows furrowed slightly, your breathing was uneven, your heel twitched, and your balance was off. You’re cursing me in your head, aren’t you?”

Chu Hao looked at her in terror. Not just psychology, but facial expression psychology too?

Sure enough, there was another book on facial expression psychology on the coffee table.

She’s really defying the natural order!

One doesn’t fear a powerful demon, but a demon that is cultured!

Chu Hao forced a smile uglier than tears. ”I... I wasn’t.”

Bai Ling said, ”Then let me go with you.”

Resigned, Chu Hao replied, ”Fine.”

Unexpectedly, Bai Ling changed her tune, waving her hand. ”Seeing that reluctant look on your face, never mind. Next time.”

Chu Hao fled the villa, utterly terrified.

After Chu Hao left, Bai Ling, lying on the sofa, revealed a faint, genuine smile that was incredibly beautiful.

”The intelligence of people in this era really is advancing,” she murmured.

Once he had left the villa, Chu Hao realized he was drenched in sweat; it was exceptionally hot for a late evening.

This Bai Ling is simply too terrifying. I even suspect that if she reads a few more books on politics, she might try to rule Earth!

It seems I really need to consider teaming up with Longhu Mountain. With this demoness around, I won’t have a day of peace.

Upon arriving at Shengshi KTV, where the party had just begun, Chu Hao walked in and saw the large private room filled with his classmates and Teacher Qiu Xueying.

Tonight, the girls from his class had dressed up. Honestly, those who usually didn’t look like much were now all surprisingly dapper.

Mu Yuxun was dressed fashionably. Although her bust was a bit small, she looked beautiful, her skin like white jade porcelain.

Li Yin had managed to chat up a female classmate. However, this kid had low EQ; the moment Chu Hao entered, the girl’s eyes left Li Yin and fixed on Chu Hao, shining brightly with mischief.

Basically, about half the girls were staring at Chu Hao, which made the other male students feel quite helpless.

Chu Hao’s recent actions had been truly exceptional, putting pressure on the boys and earning the admiration of the girls.

Wang Qi quickly stood up. ”Brother Hao is here! Please, sit.”

His actions, like he was welcoming a Shamate big shot, were so obsequious it was clear he was playing the part of a subordinate.

Chu Hao looked around and noticed many classmates. They were generally looking so sharp he almost didn’t recognize them. He had to admit, makeup and clothing truly were an art form. Chu Hao hadn’t slacked either, having styled his hair into a rather flamboyant look.

Li Yin pointed at Chu Hao and teased, ”Mouse, your hairstyle is hilarious! Why does it make you look like a male host at a nightclub, the kind that pours drinks for guests?”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Chu Hao’s face darkened; this brat started making fun of him the moment he sat down.

Everyone present was a classmate, and they all knew each other well. Chu Hao’s recent accomplishments had been so extraordinary that usually no one dared to tease him; only his close buddy Li Yin would.

Chu Hao touched his hair and wondered, ”Does it really?”

Mu Yuxun laughed until her stomach hurt. ”It really does!”

Teacher Qiu Xueying nodded awkwardly and even critiqued, ”It’s too slick, like Chow Yun-Fat’s iconic slicked-back hair in ’God of Gamblers.’ He looked imposing; you just look a bit effeminate.”

Embarrassed, Chu Hao got up and went to the restroom to comb his flamboyant hairstyle back to its usual look.

When he came out, he saw a tall woman in casual clothes. Who else could it be but Mu Yufei? She had actually come.

”Ah-Hao,” Mu Yufei greeted with a smile.

Although Mu Yufei wore casual clothes and flat shoes, these couldn’t conceal her full and well-proportioned figure. She grew more captivating the longer one looked, enough to make any man instinctively gulp.

Chu Hao feigned surprise. ”Sister Yu Fei, what brings you here?”

Mu Yufei smiled lightly, as beautiful as a lily in full bloom. ”An old classmate invited me.”

Just as she finished speaking, Teacher Qiu Xueying approached, linking arms with Mu Yufei. ”You’re only just arriving?”

Mu Yufei replied, ”I had some business at the company, but it’s all taken care of now.”

Chu Hao was puzzled. These two know each other?

Teacher Qiu Xueying introduced, ”This is my student, Chu Hao.”

Mu Yufei smiled. ”I know. Ah-Hao once saved our family.”

Teacher Qiu Xueying said in surprise, ”How come you never told me that?”

Mu Yufei just smiled in response.

With Mu Yufei’s arrival, this mature beauty was like a goddess in the eyes of the other male students. Moreover, she was Mu Yuxun’s sister, so some of the boys didn’t dare try to strike up a conversation with her.

But Chu Hao was different. He always felt that Mu Yufei was exactly his type of mature woman: virtuous, beautiful, and good-tempered—the perfect kind of wife to take home.

After they chatted for a while, Chu Hao felt something was off. Why does this feel so strange?
