Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light. At this moment, his presence was imposing as he spoke indifferently, ”To whom much is given, much is expected. If this Taoist Master doesn’t take care of it, then no one else will. It’s time for the people of the Gui Yin Sect to pay their debts.”

”Ding… Host has shown great pretentiousness, receiving 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The twin brothers exchanged a glance, as if inspired by a surge of courage, and said, ”Boss, we’ll go with you.”

”Even if we don’t get paid, we’re still going.”

Ma Qingyu didn’t know why, but she was moved by Chu Hao’s words and said, ”I’m going too. I want to report this news and let the world know the truth.”

Ma Bozhen said excitedly, ”You’re not allowed to go.”

”Dad, I…”

Ma Bozhen breathed rapidly, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground. Ma Qingyu was shocked and quickly said, ”Dad! Are you okay?”

Ma Bozhen, breathing heavily and with a bitter tone, said, ”Do you want me, an old man, to mourn my own child?”

Ma Qingyu’s face showed distress as she said, ”I… I won’t go, Dad. Please calm down.”

The younger twin brother pointed at Brother Shen and his companion, and said, ”Boss, what should we do with these two?”

Chu Hao looked towards Xiu Lan and asked, ”Do you know where your family is being held?”

Xiu Lan shook her head.

Chu Hao nodded, then pointed at the two on the ground and instructed, ”I want to know where the captives are. You two brothers go and interrogate them properly.”

The twin brothers nodded; interrogation was their strongest suit.

”Don’t worry, Boss. I’ll make them spill everything, even how many women he has. I’ll dig out all that information and get it to you.”

Chu Hao coughed dryly. What in the world was this kid saying!

However, this younger twin brother had potential; he was much sharper than his older brother. He got me, didn’t he?

Upon hearing this, Ma Qingyu’s face turned red, making her look exceptionally pretty. She glanced disapprovingly at the three men.

The twins went off to interrogate the men, while Chu Hao escorted Mr. Ma and his daughter back home.

Chu Hao said, ”Mr. Ma, name your price for the Blood Concealed Sinking Wood.”

Ma Bozhen said angrily, ”Child, after you’ve helped me so much, you’re still talking about money? Just take the Blood Concealed Sinking Wood. It’s better off being useful to you than accompanying my old bones into the coffin.”

Chu Hao chuckled and nodded in agreement.

Ma Qingyu suggested, ”Dad, it’s so late already. Why don’t we ask Master Chu to stay for dinner before he goes?”

Ma Bozhen nodded repeatedly and said, ”Child, don’t leave just yet. Stay for dinner before you go.”

In fact, Chu Hao was indeed feeling hungry. Ma Bozhen said, ”What are you hesitating for? You saved my daughter, and I must thank you properly. You can’t leave. Have a couple of drinks.”

Chu Hao then smiled and said, ”Alright.”

Ma Bozhen laughed heartily and said, ”Daughter, go cook a few dishes. Tonight, let’s have a few drinks with Young Brother Chu.”

Ma Qingyu smiled and said, ”Dad, if you’re calling him brother, does that mean I should call him Uncle?”

Chu Hao said, ”Mr. Ma, you can just call me Little Chu.”

”Alright.”

Ma Qingyu went to cook. When Chu Hao saw her tying her apron, her figure was truly exquisite, especially her waist and hips—full and shapely, truly captivating.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. Ma Bozhen brought out his treasured wine, and seeing Chu Hao’s expression, an odd feeling stirred within him.

Ma Bozhen asked with a smile, ”Do you like what you see?”

Chu Hao had been somewhat mesmerized. Snapping back to his senses, a rare blush crept onto his face as he said, ”Grandpa Ma, you’ve got the wrong idea.”

Ma Bozhen shook his head and said, ”What misunderstanding? It’s normal for a man to like beautiful women. When I was your age, I was just the same.”

That was indeed true. Since ancient times, who doesn’t love a beauty? Who would prefer an unattractive woman?

Ma Bozhen said with a chuckle, ”Little Chu, what do you think of my daughter’s figure?”

Chu Hao was stunned. Is this something an elder should say? About his own daughter’s figure, no less? Isn’t the answer obvious? But for him to ask me directly... it’s really catching me off guard.

Ma Bozhen smiled and said, ”Speak your mind. With an old fellow like me, you can say anything.”

Chu Hao said, ”Sister Qingyu’s figure, of course, is beyond words.”

Ma Bozhen laughed heartily and said, ”There you go! Let me tell you, to raise my daughter, I’ve used quite a lot of herbs. Seeing that you, Little Chu, are knowledgeable about medicine, try guessing what herbs my daughter has been taking for her skin.”

Damn! What was this old man getting at, suddenly bringing this up? It was really making Brother Hao uncomfortable.

However, Chu Hao, being unconventional, said, ”I can’t tell. Please enlighten me, Elder.”

Ma Bozhen chuckled. ”When Qingyu was going through puberty, I gave her gypsum, coix seed, almond, dandelion, and coptis root. When she reached young adulthood, I had her take polygonatum, almond, pearl powder, angelica, bai lian, and poria.”

Holy moly!

What an old fox! Taking these herbal concoctions regularly would indeed lighten the skin. No wonder Ma Qingyu’s complexion was one of the fairest Chu Hao had ever seen.

Ma Bozhen then asked, ”And my daughter’s waist and hips—are they large?”

Chu Hao swallowed and said, ”Very. Far larger than average.”

Ma Bozhen smiled, as if he had found someone to share his secrets with. ”That’s the result of another herbal formula I’ve had her take since she was little. Don’t just focus on their size; they are full yet firm, showcasing a perfect shape.”

”Her body—I’ve treated it with steamed herbal preparations since she was small, completely eliminating the toxins from a woman’s body. She doesn’t need commercial perfume; she naturally emits a unique fragrance that can even attract butterflies. Impressive, right?”

Chu Hao gave a thumbs up and said, ”Impressive.”

You’ve put so much effort into your daughter, Chu Hao thought. You couldn’t be one of those legendary old perverts, could you?

Ma Bozhen shook his head. ”You might think Grandpa Ma is a creep, but actually, I’ve always hoped my daughter could marry well, looking her best. A beautiful wife is more cherished, isn’t she? I don’t want her to suffer as our older generation did. You don’t know the kinds of hardships we endured in our time. Her mother died from overwork.”

The hardships of the older generation are truly heartbreaking, but it’s thanks to them that Huaxia Country has now become an awakened dragon.

So, Ma Bozhen truly loves his daughter after all.

Damn it! After all he’d said, Brother Hao’s curiosity was thoroughly piqued.

Ma Bozhen chuckled and asked, ”Little Chu, do you have a partner?”

Should I say I do, or I don’t?

Just then, Ma Qingyu came over with the dishes and said, ”Dinner’s ready.”

Ma Bozhen, feigning seriousness while being quite the old rascal, said, ”Daughter, come and have a couple of drinks with us.”

Ma Qingyu said helplessly, ”Dad, you know I get drunk with just a sip.”

Ma Bozhen said, ”What’s there to fear in your own home? We have a guest today. Besides, this wine Grandpa has isn’t something you can drink just any time.”

”Alright then!”

Seeing Ma Qingyu sit down, Chu Hao’s nostrils flared as he truly sensed a unique fragrance. This aroma wasn’t perfume; it was something emitted from Ma Qingyu herself—a kind of natural body fragrance distinctive to a woman, which she exuded to the fullest.

Wow!

Brother Hao was completely captivated.
