Ghost Catching System

At this moment, Diao Chan, clad in a floral dress, had reached the pinnacle of beauty. She was just as described in the history books of the Three Kingdoms: peerless in her beauty, stunning beyond compare.

The Flower Demon whispered, ”The Flower Goddess said your time is short. She will allow Diao Chan to awaken once, for only one minute.”

One minute is enough, Chu Hao thought. I need to personally confirm that Diao Chan is unharmed.

In the sea of flowers, Diao Chan opened her eyes.

She stood up, draped in a floral robe, her long hair pinned up—a beauty that penetrated deep into the soul.

Chu Hao stared at Diao Chan’s appearance, dumbfounded for quite a while. Such a sweet girl.

Diao Chan called out softly, ”Brother Chu.”

Diao Chan was excited to see Chu Hao. She took a step forward, only to find something blocking her way as various inscriptions appeared.

Chu Hao approached Diao Chan, saying excitedly, ”Chan’er, my dear, are you alright?”

Diao Chan shook her head. ”I’m fine. The Flower Goddess is helping me reconstruct my soul. It will take a lot of time, but I, Chan’er, will be able to get out soon.”

Chu Hao breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed the Flower Rakshasa had not deceived him.

Chu Hao said solemnly, ”Waiting ten years for you—I can’t wait that long.”

Diao Chan smiled. ”It shouldn’t take ten years.”

The Flower Demon Vine, dressed as a young girl in floral clothes, came over, muttering, ”Diao Chan’s talent is beyond what the Flower Goddess envisioned; ten years is just a conservative estimate.”

Hearing this news, Chu Hao’s heart leapt with joy again. ”That’s good,” he said.

Suddenly, the Flower Demon Vine snapped, ”That damn toad is here to pick flowers again! You don’t have much time. The longer this is delayed, the longer it will take to reconstruct her soul.”

Diao Chan was anxious too, saying, ”I’ll be able to get out very soon. I, Chan’er, will be a brand new self.”

Chu Hao said earnestly, ”I’ll wait for you.”

The Flower Demon Vine took out a token and waved it. The sea of flowers vanished, replaced by a forest, and Diao Chan was no longer in sight. ”You’d better leave quickly! Don’t come back next time. The energy of this space can’t last much longer. We should open it as little as possible; otherwise, we’ll all be in trouble.”

Chu Hao, upon hearing this, asked, ”Is the Flower Goddess in trouble?”

The Flower Demon Vine looked calm and said, ”The Flower Goddess here is just a remnant soul. Enough talk; I’ll send you out.”

Chu Hao bowed with his hands clasped. ”Please take good care of Diao Chan.”

The Flower Demon Vine replied, ”Don’t worry. She is the heir of the Flower Goddess; her future is immeasurable.”

Chu Hao was now reassured, but suddenly he felt his body being pulled backward. Without resisting, he was thrown out of the forest and appeared in a snowy area.

The toad cried out, ”OUCH! Damn it! This Emperor was so close to succeeding! Damn it, Kiddo Chu, why didn’t you fight for more time?”

This toad had wanted to grab some things inside but had ended up empty-handed.

Knowing that Diao Chan was safe and that they could meet in less than ten years filled Chu Hao with excitement. The Diao Chan of the future would not be a mere ghost but a real, living person with a bright future ahead.

Diao Chan, I’m waiting for you.

After leaving Tibet, Chu Hao decided to head for the Imperial Capital instead of returning to Anli City. When the toad heard this, it decided to follow along.

Chu Hao said, displeased, ”Why do you have to follow me everywhere I go? You really are a toad.”

The toad gnashed its teeth, almost pouncing to bite him. ”The world is vast; where can’t this Emperor go! I heard there are many beauties in the Imperial Capital. So many girls are waiting for this Emperor!”

Chu Hao, in a good mood, teased the toad, ”Having a toad follow me around really lowers my status. It’s too embarrassing to even mention.”

The toad lunged forward and bit him.

Chu Hao, his arm bitten, exclaimed angrily, ”DAMN IT! Are you part dog or something?”

The toad held on without letting go, declaring, ”This Emperor has decided to make you my human pet!”

”The nerve of you!”

The man and the toad fought fiercely, nearly causing an avalanche.

In the end, they left Tibet.

「Heading for the Imperial Capital.」

Chu Hao didn’t bring anything with him—unless you counted the toad.

Now that he had some money, Chu Hao indulged in business class for once. On the plane, he ran into an acquaintance, Qiu Qianxue.

He hadn’t seen the flight attendant for some time. It was on this same Imperial Capital route that their paths crossed by chance, right as she emerged from the restroom and bumped into Chu Hao’s arms.

”Sorry, sir,” Qiu Qianxue quickly apologized.

Chu Hao was taken aback but then chuckled. ”Miss, it’s you.”

Qiu Qianxue looked up, and upon spotting Chu Hao, she exclaimed with pleasant surprise, ”Master Chu!”

Chu Hao waved his hand. ”Just call me Chu Hao. It’s been a while.”

Qiu Qianxue nodded, smiling. ”It has been a long time. I’ve been so busy lately. Are you headed to the Imperial Capital?”

”Yes,” Chu Hao replied.

At that moment, the chief purser called Qiu Qianxue. She turned and said, ”Wait for me after we land, and I’ll treat you to a meal.”

”Sure,” Chu Hao agreed.

After Qiu Qianxue left, Chu Hao stroked his chin, looking at her slender, retreating figure thoughtfully.

It wasn’t anything specific; he just sensed a trace of Evil Qi on her. This Evil Qi seemed to emanate from her body. Something she encountered recently must have contaminated her.

This seems like an opportune meeting. I’ll help her sort out the problem during our meal.

「They had arrived at the Imperial Capital.」

The capital of Huaxia Country, home to tens of millions of people, with its towering skyscrapers and advanced transportation, was a symbol of the Huaxia people.

After deplaning, Chu Hao didn’t leave the airport but waited for Qiu Qianxue instead.

It wasn’t long before he saw her approaching. She was carrying her luggage and dressed in her flight attendant uniform, exuding a strong presence. Several other flight attendants, also off duty, were with her. But in terms of beauty, Qiu Qianxue stood out as the most stunning, possessing a bewitching and enchanting allure.

They were chatting and laughing. When Qiu Qianxue saw Chu Hao, she immediately came over and said, ”Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Chu Hao shook his head. ”I haven’t been waiting long.”

This time, he scrutinized Qiu Qianxue carefully, trying to pinpoint the source of the Evil Qi.

Feeling his gaze, Qiu Qianxue blushed a bit.

One of Qiu Qianxue’s flight attendant colleagues came over and said with a grin, ”Qianxue, who’s this handsome young man?”

Qiu Qianxue laughed. ”He’s a friend of mine.”

The flight attendant asked suspiciously, ”Just a friend?”

Qiu Qianxue rolled her eyes. ”You’re overthinking it. I’m not going back to the hotel; you all go ahead.”

Her colleague said with a tinge of playful envy, ”Found a handsome guy and forgot all about us sisters, huh?”

Qiu Qianxue shot her a look, and the colleague left, giggling. Qiu Qianxue then said helplessly, ”They’re always like that; they love to joke around.”

Chu Hao said, ”Let’s go.”

The toad hopped onto Chu Hao’s shoulder and said, ”Hello, pretty lady. I am the Jade Dragon King. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Qiu Qianxue froze for a second, covering her mouth and nearly screaming. She knew Chu Hao was no ordinary person, but a talking toad still gave her quite a fright.

Chu Hao glared at the toad. ”Don’t worry, it’s just my pet.”

”Kid, are you looking for a fight?” the toad retorted angrily.

Qiu Qianxue, still shaken, asked in amazement, ”Is it... is it a Demon?”

Chu Hao replied, ”Something like that. It won’t harm people.”

”This Emperor is not such a lowly being as a mere Demon,” the toad grumbled, dissatisfied.
