Ghost Catching System

”What is the relationship between this lineage and Bai Ling?” Chu Hao wondered.

He asked Brother Shen, ”What’s your relationship with the Heavenly Bone Woman?”

Brother Shen now knew that Chu Hao was from the Yin and Yang Realm. He felt scared and hurriedly said, ”The ancestor of the Gui Yin Sect once had a connection with the Heavenly Bone Woman. So, if we trace it back, the Heavenly Bone Woman could be considered half our ancestral master.”

Ancestral master? Chu Hao thought.

He felt the need to make a call to confirm this. Brother Shen didn’t know that Chu Hao was quite familiar with the Heavenly Bone Woman.

So, Chu Hao called Bai Ling to ask about the specifics.

Her voice came through, seemingly amidst a few people. It sounds like there are quite a number of people over there, Chu Hao thought, puzzled.

Bai Ling asked, ”What’s up?”

Chu Hao said, ”Sister Bai Ling, what’s your connection with the Gui Yin Sect?”

Bai Ling thought for a moment, then said directly, ”No impression. Don’t bother me.”

What is Bai Ling doing? Chu Hao wondered.

However, another voice came through, saying, ”Bai Ling, do you like this piece of clothing?”

Chu Hao recognized the voice very well; it was Luo Yan’s.

”It’s not bad; I’ll give it a try,” Bai Ling replied.

Another woman said, ”This one’s nice too, just a bit expensive.”

That was Qiu Xueying’s voice.

Bai Ling said, ”It’s fine, I’ll buy it for you.”

Qiu Xueying hurriedly said, ”No need, I can buy it myself. Speaking of which, Bai Ling, what do you do for a living? You don’t seem to have any concept of money.”

Bai Ling said, ”There are a lot of cars parked at the villa; I sold them.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao immediately panicked. ”Aren’t those the cars I bought? You... you sold them?”

Bai Ling laughed. ”Don’t worry, I left one for you.”

I almost choked with rage! All the cars at the villa were new, and here I am without even money for gas, yet you sold the cars to take others on a spending spree? That’s just outright squandering!

Luo Yan asked, ”Bai Ling, whose call is it?”

Bai Ling laughed. ”It’s from my butler.”

Qiu Xueying exclaimed, ”You have a butler!”

”HMM,” Bai Ling affirmed.

Chu Hao hung up the phone in frustration. It seems Bai Ling likes to show off her wealth, but using my stuff to do it is just outrageous!

He huffed angrily. If it weren’t for my lack of strength, I’d give Bai Ling a beating. I don’t even know what her current strength is, or whether I could take her down.

Seeing Brother Shen looking at him with a puzzled expression, Chu Hao immediately got annoyed. He gave Brother Shen a backhanded slap and scolded, ”What are you staring at? Lead the way properly!”

Brother Shen felt incredibly wronged.

The journey of six hundred kilometers took just one day. Upon reaching a county town near Yinmu Town, they found a hotel to rest.

Eventually, with hardly any money left, Chu Hao called Liu Qingyan to send him some funds.

This time, Liu Qingyan didn’t hesitate and directly transferred one million to Chu Hao’s card.

”If it’s not enough, I’ll send more,” Liu Qingyan said tenderly.

”That’s enough,” Chu Hao coughed. I feel like a young man being kept by a wealthy woman, he thought.

With money in his account, he had the two brothers book rooms and also paid them three months’ wages, making the twin brothers ecstatic.

Finally, Great Treasure pulled out a room card. ”Boss, this is your room card.”

Chu Hao accepted it.

Ma Qingyu, seeing there wasn’t one for her, quickly asked, ”What about mine?”

Zhang Xiaobao scratched his head. ”We’re down to the last two rooms. The three of us can share one. It’s perfect for keeping watch over the prisoner. Don’t worry! I found a room with a king-sized bed for the boss, big enough for two to sleep in.”

Chu Hao looked at Zhang Xiaobao in surprise, giving him an appreciative look. You really know how to handle things, he thought.

Ma Qingyu was somewhat frustrated. How could I possibly sleep with Chu Hao? So, she ran to the front desk to ask, but indeed, there were no rooms left.

”I’ll go find another hotel outside.”

This county town was large; there was more than just this one hotel.

Chu Hao said cheerfully, ”Aren’t you afraid we’ll just leave you behind?”

I’m being quite shameless, Chu Hao thought, but sometimes, shamelessness is what helps things go smoothly.

When Ma Qingyu heard this, she said angrily, ”You... you’re really going to run off?”

Chu Hao crossed his arms. ”I never promised to let you come along. If you leave, isn’t that a perfect chance for me to slip away? Besides, you can’t find your way to Yinmu Town anyway.”

Ma Qingyu was immediately speechless and said angrily, ”How can you be so shameless!”

However, she still obediently brought her suitcase down, a look of grievance on her face.

Zhang Xiaobao chuckled. ”Boss, actually, there are rooms. I tipped the front desk staff to say there were no rooms if anyone from our group asked.”

This maneuver is as sly as can be, Chu Hao thought.

”Impressive,” he said, giving a thumbs-up.

As for Brother Shen, he didn’t dare to run away. He lacked the courage to flee under Chu Hao’s watchful eye, knowing the severe consequences if he escaped but was then caught.

After taking the elevator and arriving at their hotel room, Ma Qingyu took off her shoes, lay down on the large bed, and said nothing.

Seeing her like this, Chu Hao was tempted to tease her. ”Miss, it’s been a bumpy ride. Aren’t you going to take a bath?”

It’s true that sitting in a car all day is tiring, Ma Qingyu thought, internally conflicted. But if I take a bath, who knows what Chu Hao might do.

She said, ”You go ahead and shower. I won’t.”

Chu Hao let out a low chuckle, which made Ma Qingyu both embarrassed and angry. This kid is doing it on purpose! she fumed silently.

Chu Hao went into the bathroom to shower.

Ma Qingyu felt bitter. Actually, my period already ended. Now I’m afraid Chu Hao will find out. Once a young man gets a taste of something sweet, there’s no stopping him.

While Ma Qingyu was absorbed in her thoughts, she suddenly noticed a black shadow drift past the hotel window.

Am I seeing things? she wondered. She walked to the suite’s balcony but found nothing. However, as she turned her head, she saw a figure standing in the room. Under the dim light, she couldn’t make out the person’s face.

”Little Chu, is that you?” Ma Qingyu asked.

The figure didn’t answer. She shifted her angle and was finally able to see half of the person’s body: it was a man, drenched in water, with dead, white, fish-like eyes staring right at her.

”AH!” Ma Qingyu screamed in fear.

The man walked toward her. She shouted desperately, ”Chu Hao! Chu Hao!”

But the bathroom seemed empty, as if no one was there. Her face turned deathly pale with fright as she saw the terrifying man draw very close.

Just then, a voice said, ”Wake up.”

Ma Qingyu jolted. She realized she wasn’t standing by the balcony but lying on the bed, with Chu Hao right in front of her. She sat up abruptly, her body, drenched in sweat, trembling violently.

Ma Qingyu stammered, ”Wh-what happened to me? I was clearly over by the balcony.”

Chu Hao frowned. ”You were hit with Ghost Mesmerism.”

Ma Qingyu exclaimed, ”There’s a ghost?”

Chu Hao looked towards the balcony. ”It’s gone.”

Chu Hao, who had been showering, heard Ma Qingyu yelling his name. He had walked out, annoyed, only to sense a wave of Ghost Qi escaping from the balcony and disappearing.

Worried that something might have happened to Ma Qingyu, he hadn’t chased after it.
