Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao looked up. Had the toad just spoken? It was similar to a sound amplification charm he had used before.

The toad poked its head out, staring at Mu Yue, its eyes unblinking, and said, ”Stop looking. This is supreme mental sound transmission; you lowly creatures wouldn’t understand.”

This toad was truly infuriating.

Chu Hao ignored it and also looked toward Mu Yue.

Mu Yue was quite sensitive. Seeing where Chu Hao was staring, she blushed and chided with a laugh, ”Stop looking, little brother. You’re making me uncomfortable.”

Chu Hao’s face turned red, and he turned away, saying, ”I didn’t see anything. And I’m not little.”

Mu Yue was no young girl. She was a woman who had experienced who knows how many ”hardships” and was as mature as a ripe, juicy peach.

Mu Yue’s gaze drifted toward Chu Hao, a smile playing on her lips as she said, ”You look pretty small to me.”

The toad’s voice chimed in, full of schadenfreude, ”She’s saying you’re small, you dunce. Do you even understand what ’small’ means?”

Chu Hao cursed the toad inwardly and looked at Mu Yue, saying seriously, ”Big isn’t always useful. Small can go on and on, don’t you think?”

Mu Yue’s face immediately turned as red as a juicy peach. Brother Hao is just that smooth. So what if the woman is older? He can still flirt with her. She said, ”Pah! Don’t look.”

Chu Hao was speechless. You’re how old, and you’re still trying to toy with me, this piece of fresh meat? Have some shame, would you?

After a while, the toad’s excited voice came through, ”This emperor is certain she just had a child.”

The toad’s observation matched his own thoughts.

Damn toad, you’re sure enjoying the view while I’m over here suffering! thought Chu Hao.

Because Mu Yue had already taken off her coat, revealing a white blouse underneath. Obviously, there was nothing under the blouse.

Mu Yue saw Chu Hao’s gaze drifting, but she wasn’t the least bit shy. Quite the opposite, she was exceptionally open and simply closed her eyes to rest.

The rogue toad said disdainfully, ”Kid, are you even a man? Even this emperor can’t stand to watch this anymore. This chick needs to be taught a lesson.”

Chu Hao gave it a glare and coughed. ”Sister, where are you from?”

Mu Yue smiled. ”XX City.”

Chu Hao said, ”Are all the people from your city as open as you?”

Mu Yue knew what Chu Hao was implying. She blushed and said, ”I often dress like this at home. By the way, Brother Chu, where are your eyes looking?”

Chu Hao stiffened his neck and said, ”If I didn’t take a look when you’re dressed like this, wouldn’t that make me worse than a beast?”

Mu Yue laughed. ”Smooth talker. Go ahead and look then.”

With that, she even jutted out her chest slightly before closing her eyes to rest again.

The rogue toad declared, ”This emperor gets it now! She wants to sleep with you!”

On this point, Chu Hao quite agreed with the toad. Damn right I think the same. The woman wants to be an old cow eating young grass.

The whole journey was agonizing for Chu Hao.

The rogue toad stayed quiet, lying on the luggage and ”politely observing the scenery.”

「Three hours later」

They finally reached the airport. Chu Hao felt as if he’d just been tortured in the Eighteen Layers of Hell and was desperate to leave.

The toad had also seen enough and sent a mental message, ”Hey kid, wait for this emperor!”

The toad wasn’t afraid of Chu Hao at all and jumped into his pocket.

The toad transmitted mentally, ”Don’t reveal this emperor’s existence. That Su Huansheng is quite powerful. Also! Be careful of him; that guy doesn’t have good intentions.”

Chu Hao whispered, ”So he really is up to no good.”

From within Chu Hao’s pocket, the toad transmitted, ”I heard this while I was tailing him. He clearly brought you here to use you as bait, to lure out the Ghost King.”

Damn it! So, Su Huansheng’s schemes ran deep. Chu Hao had indeed felt something was off about him before, and this was clearly his plan.

Chu Hao asked, ”Why are you telling me this?”

The toad replied, ”This emperor wants the Ghost Sutras, and only you can help me get them here.”

Chu Hao curled his lip. ”Why are you so sure? Aren’t you afraid I’ll use the mirror to trap you?”

The toad said nonchalantly, ”That broken mirror of yours can only subdue this emperor temporarily. In my prime, I went in and out of the Demon-refining Pot numerous times. What’s your little toy compared to that?”

Based on Chu Hao’s own experience with bluffing, this toad must also be bluffing. Who is it trying to kid? In and out of the Demon-refining Pot several times? Yeah, right!

Chu Hao asked, puzzled, ”Then why don’t you team up with Su Huansheng? Why me?”

The toad answered, ”That guy’s schemes are too deep. He’s all smiles on the surface, but who knows if he’ll stab this emperor in the back. This emperor thinks you’re more straightforward.”

Me? Straightforward? Chu Hao chuckled. ”We can team up, but I need the Ghost Sutras too.”

On this mission to eliminate the Ghost King, Chu Hao didn’t trust anyone. Su Huansheng was out of the question, especially since he planned to use Chu Hao as bait. The same went for Zhang Chengshan from Longhu Mountain, who also clearly disliked him. It was the same with the Six-tailed Fox Demon. They all wanted the Ghost Sutras. None of these characters could be trusted.

In comparison, this toad didn’t seem so bad. Besides, his mission was to subdue it anyway, so he might as well let it tag along for now.

The toad thought for a moment and said, ”Alright. Let me absorb the Ghost Qi from the Ghost Sutras, and then you can take them.”

Chu Hao didn’t care about the Ghost Qi on the sutras, so the man and the toad reached an agreement.

After another car ride, they arrived at a county town by evening, not far from the Ghost King’s lair.

They checked into a hotel, each getting their own room. Mu Yue was staying in the room next to his.

The toad hopped around the room, then pointed at the television. ”Kid, what’s this thing?”

Chu Hao replied, ”That’s a television. Speaking of which, what exactly are *you*?”

The toad snorted. ”This emperor is the supreme Jade Dragon King.”

”Yeah, keep telling yourself that.”

The toad examined the television, actually managed to turn it on, and began watching in astonishment. ”Hey, hey, your human world has changed so much!”

This toad truly lived up to its roguish reputation, only watching channels with women. It switched to a channel where music played, and the star singing was none other than Yi Qinglian.

Yi Qinglian looked stunning on television, and her voice seemed to pierce through to one’s very soul. No wonder she became such a big star. My Qinglian is truly amazing.

Chu Hao watched, mesmerized, and found himself missing her.

The toad exclaimed excitedly, ”Hey, hey, this chick is really unique! Definitely this emperor’s type! Look at that face and that little butt!”

Chu Hao’s face darkened. He grabbed the remote and changed the channel to Animal World. A very familiar male voice emanated from the TV:

”The Chinese toad. Every spring, they emerge from the mud. It is once again mating season...”

The toad: ”...”

Chu Hao, suppressing a laugh, said, ”This seems more your speed.”
