Ghost Catching System

The toad grew larger, about the size of a small car, and charged like a cannonball.

”I will kill you,” it bellowed.

Chu Hao, also enraged, roared, ”Po Jun Fist!”

BANG!

Their collision set off a wave of True Qi energy, shattering the surrounding trees.

Both the man and the toad were sent flying backward. The toad reacted swiftly, flipped its belly, landed on all fours, and spat out a mouthful of Immortal Water.

Chu Hao saw the incoming saliva and quickly dodged.

The toad leaped up, as if to stand shoulder to shoulder with the moon, and said, ”Immortal Water Gatling Gun.”

Then, PTOOEY! PTOOEY! PTOOEY! It spat saliva like a torrential downpour.

This toad is truly disgusting, isn’t it?

Chu Hao kept dodging. The saliva was so powerful that it caused the trees to shake violently, and some of the thinner trunks snapped outright.

It was clear that the toad’s strength had increased significantly over time.

Not wanting to be doused in toad saliva, Chu Hao took out the Demon-catching Mirror and aimed a beam of light at the toad.

The toad hastily dodged. Upon seeing the Demon-catching Mirror, it furiously said, ”Kid, do you want to subdue me?”

Chu Hao replied, ”I’m now thinking that catching a toad as a pet isn’t too bad. Tying it with a dog leash would also be quite a spectacle.”

The toad was livid. ”If it weren’t for you showing up, I would have caught the Polygonum multiflorum by now.”

Chu Hao was startled. ”What Polygonum multiflorum?”

The toad instinctively covered its mouth. ”Nothing, you misheard.”

Chu Hao looked towards the back mountain, excitedly saying, ”Are you saying that there’s a Polygonum multiflorum Spirit in these woods?”

A Polygonum multiflorum Spirit, which would be at least a millennium old, is mentioned in the Ghost Doctor Technique—it can be used for life exchange.

Furthermore, a Polygonum multiflorum Spirit contains terrifying energy, making it a rare medicinal material perfect for enhancing True Qi.

The toad said resentfully, ”I’m warning you, I discovered the Polygonum multiflorum first.”

Coming back to his senses from the excitement, Chu Hao smiled. ”You haven’t caught it, so how can it be yours?”

Staring at Chu Hao, the toad huffed, ”As if you could catch the Polygonum multiflorum. Even I failed.”

Chu Hao was surprised. ”Is the Polygonum multiflorum Spirit that fast?”

It turned out the clothing thief was not the toad, but the Polygonum multiflorum Spirit.

That Polygonum multiflorum Spirit was quite perverted, enjoying the theft of women’s underwear. The toad knew about this. It had been waiting outside the girls’ dormitory, yet the spirit still managed to slip away.

The toad proposed, ”How about we team up? Split it seventy-thirty, with seventy for me and thirty for you.”

Chu Hao disdainfully said, ”Why not seventy for me and thirty for you?”

The toad started shouting again, ”I found the Polygonum multiflorum first!”

”Did you catch it?”

After much discussion, the man and the toad finally agreed to split the spoils fifty-fifty. Now, they just needed to figure out a way to lure the Polygonum multiflorum Spirit out.

The toad said, ”That Polygonum multiflorum Spirit is as cunning as a ghost. It burrows into the ground at the first sign of danger, making it impossible to catch.”

Chu Hao said, ”The Demon-catching Mirror can catch it.”

The toad muttered, ”I know that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be teaming up with you, kid.”

The Polygonum multiflorum Spirit wouldn’t come that night, so Chu Hao and the toad could only return home.

「The next day.」

Chu Hao went straight to Lin Wan and shared his idea of collecting the girls’ underwear and placing it on top of the dormitory building to lure the clothing thief.

Lin Wan said oddly, ”To do it so openly... is the pervert really that stupid?”

Chu Hao said, ”Do as I tell you, and we’ll definitely catch that pervert.”

”Alright then.”

After putting all the clothes on the rooftop, Chu Hao and the toad squatted there all night but didn’t see the Polygonum multiflorum Spirit appear. The culprit actually didn’t show up.

The toad said, ”That’s impossible! It appears every day. That fellow is addicted to stealing! Could it be...!!”

”Could it be what?” Chu Hao asked.

With a serious expression, the toad said, ”Based on this emperor’s experience, stealing this kind of thing is about the realism. These undergarments aren’t all new and never worn before, are they?”

Chu Hao asked Lin Wan, and it turned out they were indeed all new, never worn before.

Chu Hao explained helplessly, ”This pervert doesn’t want new ones; it only steals the ones you all have worn. Change to a different batch.”

Lin Wan blushed upon hearing this. When she relayed the situation to the other girls in the dorm building, each of them felt very embarrassed.

”Is this Chu Hao reliable at all?”

”Exactly! How does he know that the underwear thief likes worn underwear? He understands perverts so well.”

”Could he... could he have done it himself?”

When Chu Hao heard this, he almost vomited blood. It was clearly the toad’s suggestion, and now he was being mistaken for the pervert.

After changing to a different batch, Lin Wan also wanted to see if the little thief would come at night, so she decided to keep watch with Chu Hao.

As Lin Wan observed Chu Hao, who looked incredibly focused, she wondered why he was taking this matter so seriously.

Was it really because he wanted to help me?

Lin Wan’s mind began to wander, almost forgetting why she was there in the first place.

Actually, aside from being mysterious, Chu Hao had a rather pleasant appearance and a healthy, wheat-colored complexion. When close to him, one could feel a masculine allure. This allure was strong, especially when he was concentrating on something. One was met with a potent wave of masculine hormones.

Lin Wan’s cheeks reddened as she thought, What am I thinking about, utter nonsense? He has a girlfriend, and she’s so impressive.

Stay calm, Lin Wan, you have to stay calm. Think about the perverted underwear thief.

Lin Zhou got the news that his sister was together with Chu Hao, in the middle of the night, in a small grove.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhou was beside himself and immediately brought people with him.

Lin Zhou’s friend said, ”Zhou, your sister is indeed with Chu Hao, the two of them crouching there, and who knows what they’re up to.”

Another person said, ”A lone man and a single woman in a grove, what do you think they could be doing?”

Lin Zhou angrily said, ”My sister isn’t like that!”

With a sigh, the person commented, ”I’m beginning to admire Chu Hao now. This guy’s ability to charm girls is unmatched.”

Lin Zhou was very annoyed but still stood up and walked over to see for himself.

Lin Zhou would never allow Chu Hao to get involved with his sister. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to show his face again.

Approaching, he found the two squatting there, seemingly waiting for something. His sister was leaning close to Chu Hao, almost clinging to him. Lin Zhou grew furious and charged forward.

”Lin!” Lin Zhou was about to shout.

Suddenly, an angry voice yelled, ”Damn it! Who the hell stepped on this emperor?”

Lin Zhou looked down to see a toad the size of a soccer ball squatting in the grass, scowling at him.

Did I hear that right? Lin Zhou wondered. Was that toad talking just now?

”Kid, what are you looking at? How dare you step on this emperor,” the toad said angrily.

Scared witless, Lin Zhou shuddered and screamed, ”A demon!”

He turned and ran. The toad spat out a mouthful of Immortal Water, enveloping Lin Zhou, while he continued to shriek hysterically.

He was nearly out of his mind with fear. A talking toad that size? What could it be if not a demon?

The toad hopped over and stomped on him, knocking him out. This was to prevent him from causing a scene that would surely scare the Polygonum multiflorum Spirit away.
