Ghost Catching System

Seeing his granddaughter, Ma Bozhen asked cheerfully, ”Xiao Yu, what brings you here?”

Ma Qingyu rolled her eyes. ”Can’t I come? I just happened to have something to discuss with Little Chu.”

Chu Hao asked, ”What’s up?”

Clearly finding it inconvenient to speak there, Ma Qingyu took Chu Hao’s hand and pulled him outside. Ma Bozhen chuckled. He thought very highly of Chu Hao. If only he could become my grandson-in-law, that would be wonderful, he mused.

Ma Bozhen then muttered to himself, ”It’s just a pity he’s a bit young.”

Once outside, Ma Qingyu said, ”Little Chu, do you remember when we went to Gui Yin Mountain together? I recorded quite a few videos for a news report.”

Chu Hao nodded. ”What about it?”

Looking somewhat embarrassed, Ma Qingyu said, ”I’ve run into some trouble. The head of our news department saw the videos and won’t let me publish them.”

After a moment’s thought, Chu Hao commented, ”Your news could have significant repercussions, so there’s likely a good reason they won’t let you publish it.”

Ma Qingyu said, clearly troubled, ”I’d considered that. Matters of the Yin and Yang Realm are too sensitive. I guess the reason my boss didn’t dare to publish is also due to pressure from the higher-ups.”

The ”higher-ups” she referred to were likely from Huaxia Country.

Chu Hao asked, ”Do you absolutely have to release it?”

Ma Qingyu sighed. ”I do want to, but this matter has significant implications. My boss also advised me to consider it carefully.”

Puzzled, Chu Hao asked, ”Then why come to me?”

Ma Qingyu said awkwardly, ”I... I need to borrow some money from you. I’m planning to start my own news agency, free from anyone’s control. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay you back once I start making money.”

Ma Qingyu felt quite helpless. Her family had been in the medicinal herb business for many years and had saved up a considerable sum, but her parents had lost it all in a failed investment.

She hadn’t known Chu Hao for long, so asking to borrow money was deeply embarrassing for her.

Chu Hao stroked his chin. ”Alright.”

Ma Qingyu asked excitedly, ”Really?”

Chu Hao wasn’t the same person he used to be. He recalled Zhao Gousheng mentioning that certain things would soon come to light and that the era was about to change. The news sector seemed like a promising channel; perhaps it could help him show off and gain Pretentiousness Points in the future.

Chu Hao said, ”I’ll provide the capital, you put in the work. Just give me equity in return. Roughly how much initial capital do you need?”

Ma Qingyu replied, ”Quite a bit. About ten million.”

Chu Hao nodded, took out his phone, and immediately transferred ten million to Ma Qingyu’s account.

With the money in hand, Ma Qingyu was highly motivated and eager to start her company.

Chu Hao added, ”Oh, right, Sister Qingyu, I also need you to set up a live-streaming team for me.”

Although a bit puzzled, Ma Qingyu nodded. ”Alright. I’ll call you when it’s organized.”

Chu Hao certainly had his own ideas. Live-streaming to show off? Pretentiousness Points came incredibly fast that way.

Collecting medicinal herbs, on the other hand, will probably take some time, he thought.

After leaving the medicinal herb market, Chu Hao received a call from Bai Ling. Seeing it was her, he didn’t dare to delay answering; after all, she was a figure of grandmotherly standing.

”Butler, where are you?” Bai Ling’s voice was the same as ever—languid and alluring.

Chu Hao replied, ”I’m out right now.”

Bai Ling hummed. ”Those herbs I asked you to collect last time, how many have you found?”

Chu Hao said with a sigh of resignation, ”Sister Bai Ling, those herbs you’re asking for are practically impossible to find. I’ve been to more than a dozen places, and everyone says they don’t have them.”

More than a dozen places? He’d actually only been to one. What a blatant lie.

Bai Ling wasn’t surprised at all. ”Then stop looking. Come to XX address; I need to see you about something.”

This ancient demoness had summoned him; how could he dare refuse? If she became displeased, he’d be in for a world of pain.

Arriving at the address Bai Ling had given, Chu Hao froze for a moment. A SPA salon? She really knows how to live comfortably!

When Chu Hao opened the door and entered, he saw two women lying face down. Their backs were as smooth as silk, glistening with a sheen that made Chu Hao gulp.

One was, of course, Bai Ling; the other was Luo Yan.

With their backs exposed, he could vaguely see the rounded contours of their lower bodies pressed against the massage tables. The sight was almost too risqué. Aren’t you two being a bit too unreserved? Aren’t you afraid of me seeing this?

Luo Yan said in surprise, ”You actually came.”

Could I not? Chu Hao thought helplessly. Since you’re not afraid of being seen, I’ll just look my fill. They’re so fair...

Bai Ling said, ”Sit down.”

Chu Hao walked over. ”What’s going on?”

With a wave of Bai Ling’s hand, Luo Yan suddenly felt her eyelids grow heavy, and she drifted into a deep sleep.

Still lying down, Bai Ling then said, ”The Ghost Sutras have appeared.”

Chu Hao looked surprised. ”How do you know?”

Bai Ling replied languidly, ”It was originally mine, after all.”

What the hell! Chu Hao reeled. The Ghost Sutras belonged to Bai Ling? And she’s the Bai Gu Spirit?

Chu Hao guessed, ”You want me to retrieve them for you?”

Bai Ling nodded. ”Those Ghost Sutras are extremely malevolent. They mustn’t fall into the hands of other Fierce Ghosts.”

Extremely malevolent? Chu Hao thought. You’re already quite wicked. For you to call the Ghost Sutras ’malevolent’ means they must be truly terrifying.

Bai Ling explained, ”Once someone learns from the Ghost Sutras, they require an immense amount of Yin Yang Qi. If they cannot control it, the consequences will be catastrophic, leading to widespread devastation. I’ve studied them myself, but I’m different; I don’t require Yin Yang Qi.”

True, she possessed the Heavenly Bone Body.

Chu Hao said helplessly, ”It seems many people are after the Ghost Sutras. If I try to get them, my life will be in danger.”

Bai Ling smiled faintly. She picked up a white bath towel and, with a flick of her hand, sat up. The towel wrapped around her barely concealed her pristine skin; only the most crucial parts were covered.

Too bad, I didn’t get a clear look, Chu Hao thought with a twinge of disappointment.

Bai Ling said, ”I won’t let you go empty-handed.”

She extended her hand, and a piece of Jade Bone materialized within it. ”Take this. The Ghost Sutras will naturally find their way to you.”

Chu Hao took the Jade Bone. It was brilliantly white and translucent, like a piece of luminous Hetian jade. He asked, astonished, ”This couldn’t be... a piece of your own bone, could it?”

Bai Ling replied nonchalantly, ”Just a small piece of me.”

Holy crap! Chu Hao was stunned. Bai Ling was terrifyingly nonchalant, casually taking out a piece of her own bone!

Chu Hao asked, ”You just said the Ghost Sutras would find me on their own. Aren’t the Ghost Sutras supposed to be a book?”

Bai Ling rolled her eyes. ”Who told you it’s a book? You’ll find out when you get there. Remember! Keep this Jade Bone safe. It will help you attract the Ghost Sutras.”

Chu Hao pocketed the Jade Bone and chuckled. ”So, if I help you find the Ghost Sutras, what’s in it for me?”

Bai Ling stood up. Just as Chu Hao wondered what she was about to do, her next action left him utterly stunned.

Bai Ling let the towel wrapped around her fall away. It revealed the heart-stopping figure beneath, skin like satin, captivatingly alluring, and utterly mouth-watering.

Her figure was flawless, without a hint of excess fat. Her ample peaks stood proud and high.

”Damn!” Chu Hao was completely dumbfounded.
