Ghost Catching System

After reviewing the introduction for the Golden-Wood Drought Demon, Chu Hao confirmed that this malevolent creature was incredibly formidable. And Lan Zhen thought she could capture the Golden-Wood Drought Demon? That’s simply impossible. It’s far more powerful than the Black Water Ghost King, deservedly one of the Ten Evils.

Chu Hao muttered, Is this Lan Zhen seeking death?

Chu Hao closed the mission interface and clicked on the last purchase option, curious to see what could be bought from the Underworld.

What left Chu Hao speechless were items like houses, cars, train tickets, Underworld DiDi rides, and so on—all with delivery included. This was essentially an Underworld version of Meituan!

Impressive, Meituan has even expanded into the Underworld! Who on earth came up with this? Chu Hao was dumbstruck.

But then he thought about it: considering the vastness of Fengdu, it made sense for there to be options to buy houses and cars. He guessed this Underworld Mobile Phone was probably used more by Ghost Cultivators in the Yin Realm.

Beyond that, Chu Hao spotted some interesting items.

Premium Taisui Meat: Requires 5,000 Underworld Merit Points.

Ghost Ginseng: Requires 5,000 Underworld Merit Points.

There were also other items for Ghost Cultivators, all quite expensive. Chu Hao lost interest after a glance; the items offered were nothing compared to even a fraction of what his System had.

So this was the Underworld Mobile Phone. Chu Hao found it quite novel. He said, ”System, did you see? Their technology is really advanced.”

The System responded disdainfully, ”Trash. Compared to this System, it’s far too inferior.”

Having learned enough, he went back to sleep.

「Bright and early the next morning,」 Chu Hao received a call from Li Yin, who bellowed, ”Still asleep? Have you forgotten what day it is tomorrow?”

Chu Hao, somewhat confused, asked, ”What day?”

”It’s the day we register for university! How can you be so nonchalant about it?” Li Yin said helplessly.

Time had flown by, and it was already the day to register for university.

Chu Hao asked, ”Where are you?”

Li Yin replied, ”Imperial Capital.”

Chu Hao said with disdain, ”Why didn’t you wait for me so we could go together?”

”I’m filming,” Li Yin explained helplessly. ”We came to the Imperial Capital for location scouting, so I just came over. I thought you were already in the Imperial Capital, that’s why I called.”

”Alright, I know,” Chu Hao responded.

After hanging up, Chu Hao felt a surge of excitement. His high school teachers had painted such a beautiful picture of college life, and he had long dreamed of it.

Now, he was finally going to college—and to a nationally renowned film academy, no less, where beautiful girls would certainly not be in short supply.

Chu Hao found Zhang Qin’ai and said, ”I plan to open a Sanqing Pavilion in the Imperial Capital.”

His idea was simple: wherever he went, he’d open a shop there. The ultimate way to show off.

Zhang Qin’ai nodded and said, ”I’ve already been considering it and have scouted locations. I was just about to tell you. You’re about to start university, aren’t you?”

Sister Qin was reliable. She had already planned to expand the shop to the Imperial Capital.

Chu Hao said, ”Yeah.”

Zhang Qin’ai asked, ”So you’re planning to leave Yun’er in Anli City?”

Speaking of Qiu Yun’er, Chu Hao wasn’t at all comfortable leaving her alone in Anli City when he left. So, he suggested to Yun’er that she also go to the Imperial Capital for her studies.

Qiu Yun’er agreed without a second thought, saying directly, ”Wherever Brother Chu goes, Yun’er will go.”

Chu Hao was overjoyed. He opened his arms and exclaimed, ”Yun’er, you’re such a good girl! Come give me a kiss.”

Qiu Yun’er’s face turned red. She pushed Chu Hao away and ran off, saying, ”Brother Chu, you’re so naughty! I’m not playing with you anymore!”

As she ran off hurriedly, her ponytail swayed. Her defined waist and hips were especially eye-catching, brimming with youth and vigor.

Chu Hao felt a wave of heat surge through his body, and Little Chu below had a strong reaction. He really wanted to pull Yun’er into a room to discuss life and dreams... But he quashed the thought before it could even fully form.

Chu Hao muttered in confusion, Why am I so depraved now?

Yun’er’s appearance reminded Chu Hao of Diao Chan. What’s Diao Chan doing right now?

Chu Hao gritted his teeth. ”I need to go to Tibet again and make sure Diao Chan is safe.”

So, he decided to go to Tibet and planned to bring Toad along as a precaution. With Toad there, he’d have some backup—or, to put it bluntly, someone to take the fall for him.

But Toad refused to go, directly demanding a price: ”Three Transformation Talismans.”

Chu Hao clenched his teeth. ”No way.”

What a joke! What he lacked most right now was Pretentiousness Points. Becoming pretentious was getting harder and harder; giving Toad three talismans was too great a loss.

Unsatisfied, Toad said, ”Then go by yourself. If something really happens, you won’t find anyone else to help.”

Chu Hao thought for a moment, held up three fingers, and said, ”Three adult films.”

Toad’s eyes lit up, but it feigned composure and haggled, ”Ten-second clips are out of the question!”

Chu Hao, teeth gritted, said, ”One film, half an hour long, Blu-ray, authentic version. Satisfied now?”

Toad was perplexed. ”What’s a Blu-ray authentic version?”

Chu Hao cleared his throat and said, ”It means the picture quality is exceptionally clear, allowing you to see every detail.”

Toad, excited, didn’t hesitate. ”Deal!”

Heh heh, so easily bought off with just three adult films! For Chu Hao, getting such things was incredibly simple; he just had Li Yin send over dozens of super HD ones.

Then, he had Li Yin inform the academy that his registration would be delayed.

「Thus, Chu Hao set off for Tibet, returning to the same mountain range.」

The peaks remained the same, snow swirling all around. It was a vast expanse of white, without the mysterious forest he had seen that night.

Chu Hao was sure this was the spot; he remembered the location clearly. He bellowed, ”Flower Goddess, I want to see Chan’er!”

There was no response, only the biting wind that pierced to the bone.

Toad yawned and said, ”Told you, you wouldn’t see her.”

Chu Hao, unwilling to give up, shouted angrily, ”Flower Rakshasa! I need to confirm Chan’er’s safety! If you don’t let me see her, I swear I’ll tear Tibet apart to find you! Believe it or not!”

Still, there was no answer. Chu Hao was truly enraged now. This Flower Rakshasa is too domineering! He didn’t care anymore and took out the Ritian Stick.

”Grow!”

The Ritian Stick grew immensely large.

Toad exclaimed, ”Kiddo Chu, what are you planning to do?”

Chu Hao said coldly, ”I’m going to shatter this mountain.”

”Damn! You’re serious?! Let this emperor get down the mountain before you start!” Toad certainly didn’t want to be buried under rocks and snow, so it turned and fled.

Chu Hao enlarged the Ritian Stick to its maximum size, a good seventeen or eighteen meters long, and its weight was immense.

At the front of the snowy mountain, a light barrier flickered, and the Dark Forest appeared. Chu Hao, delighted, retracted the Ritian Stick and dashed in.

Amazed, Toad said, ”So you really managed to threaten them.”

It also hopped in, aiming to sneak inside and take some good stuff out.

Chu Hao entered the forest. It was just as before. He didn’t see the Flower Rakshasa, but the Flower Demon Vine appeared instead.

The Flower Demon Vine had transformed into the shape of a young girl adorned with petal garments, a striking sight. This Flower Demon Vine girl spoke, ”You’re really too much. Come with me, but don’t cause any disturbance, or Diao Chan’s soul won’t be able to materialize.”

Chu Hao nodded.

Going deeper, the forest transformed into a sea of flowers. The further he walked, the more lush this floral sea became—a dazzling profusion of colorful blossoms, breathtakingly beautiful, like a celestial fairyland.

Chu Hao spotted Diao Chan at once in the center of the sea of flowers.
