Ghost Catching System

The Black Samurai was, after all, a kind of Ghost, bearing a faint aura of soul energy. When it was devoured, it transformed into energy for the Explosive Shark Knife.

Uehara Futoshi was taken aback; he had never seen such a bizarre butcher’s knife.

From a distance, the Unfeeling Woman snorted coldly. ”Too weak. Chu Hao didn’t even need to act, and I was even expecting you to kill him.”

Toad, cunning as they come, said with a sidelong glance, ”A woman’s heart is most poisonous. Kiddo Chu just sealed you once, right? Is it necessary to hold such a grudge?”

The Unfeeling Woman trembled all over. ”It’s more than just sealing. I want to flay him a thousand times over!”

Toad cocked its head. ”What do you mean? Did Kiddo Chu do *that thing* to you?”

The Unfeeling Woman flew into a rage. ”Get lost! It’s none of your business! What would a toad like you understand?”

Toad, disgruntled, said, ”How could I not understand? Are you saying that you really did *that thing* with Kiddo Chu?”

The Unfeeling Woman was annoyed. In truth, it wasn’t that she and Chu Hao had any direct connection; she was inextricably linked with Yi Qinglian. Everything Yi Qinglian experienced felt as if the Unfeeling Woman had experienced it herself.

Whether it was holding hands with Chu Hao, embracing him, or acting like a sweet, dependent girl, those feelings of admiration lingered in the Unfeeling Woman’s mind. They made her shudder and feel utterly disgusted.

These memories made her feel as if Chu Hao had defiled her. For her, the dignified Mysterious Lady of the Ninth Heaven, to have actually had such experiences!

The Unfeeling Woman turned and walked away. She really did not want to watch. Once her power was restored, she would definitely teach Chu Hao a lesson.

Zhang Fei, the dark-faced brute, laughed heartily, immensely thrilled. ”Face your death!” he roared.

Uehara Futoshi’s expression changed dramatically. He scattered more beans, which turned into Black Samurai, but Zhang Fei’s broadsword slashed through them decisively, wiping them out one by one and absorbing them as energy.

At that moment, the Explosive Shark Knife turned bright red.

Seeing Zhang Fei’s attack incoming, Uehara Futoshi pulled out a bottle and cried out, ”Slit-mouthed Woman, come out!”

The bottle shook, and a female Ghost appeared, bursting forth with terrifying and turbulent Ghost Qi. Zhang Fei was also startled; only Ghosts knew how horrifying a Ghost with such Ghost Qi could be.

A female Fierce Ghost appeared. Her looks were actually alright, similar to an ordinary woman, with nothing particularly special about her.

System notification: ”Triggered Black Iron Level Mission. Subjugate the Slit-mouthed Woman in a wildly domineering way to complete the mission.”

System notification: ”Complete the mission to receive 15,000,000 Experience Points.”

System notification: ”Complete the mission to receive 200,000 Merit Points.”

System notification: ”Complete the mission to receive two Green Diamond Treasure Chests.”

Chu Hao was thrilled. Finally, a damn mission has arrived, and a Black Iron Level one at that! To think I just need to subjugate the Slit-mouthed Woman in a wildly domineering way... but she’s a fourteen-star Ghost! The difficulty!

Zhang Fei, fearless as ever, swung his blade.

Finally, the Slit-mouthed Woman moved. She remained standing in place, but her mouth opened, wider and wider, the corners splitting towards her ears. Her lower jaw and upper face parted to reveal disgusting, raw, split flesh within. Inside her gaping maw was a black hole that seemed like a gateway to another world.

However, the moment Zhang Fei made contact with the Slit-mouthed Woman, he and the Explosive Shark Knife were both sucked in and devoured, disappearing into her mouth.

Chu Hao was taken aback. As he looked into the Slit-mouthed Woman’s mouth from such a close distance, he saw a blood-drenched Fierce Ghost inside. Its dead fish-like white eyes stared straight at him.

Even Chu Hao involuntarily shuddered at the sight, but he quickly composed himself. I can’t show my panic.

The Slit-mouthed Woman, horror index: fourteen stars. She was considered one of the most powerful Fierce Ghosts in Wo Country.

Legends of the Slit-mouthed Woman in Wo Country dated back a long time. Rumor had it that anyone who saw the Slit-mouthed Woman disappeared from this world, vanishing as if evaporated from the Human World, not even a soul left behind, evidently devoured by her.

With her mouth closed, the Slit-mouthed Woman reverted to her original appearance. She wore a thin knitted shirt, her hair draped over her shoulders. With a comely face, just like any other ordinary young housewife, she seemed harmless.

But Chu Hao’s Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils could see the terrifying Ghost Qi surrounding the Slit-mouthed Woman, like an ocean hidden within her body. This was the Fierce Ghost with the strongest Ghost Qi he had ever encountered.

Ghosts were normally unable to make physical contact, but the Slit-mouthed Woman felt as real and substantial as an ordinary person to him.

Uehara Futoshi sneered, speaking in the Wo Country language, ”Slit-mouthed Woman, kill him.”

The Slit-mouthed Woman turned, her gaze calmly resting on Uehara Futoshi.

In the next instant, Uehara Futoshi stiffened, as if engulfed by an immense fear. He was unable to move, cold sweat forming on his forehead.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying the Slit-mouthed Woman was. Although his master had subdued her, it had taken immense effort. The Eight-foot Magatama had even been used, and his master was injured in the fierce battle before she was finally subdued.

In fact, dispelling the Slit-mouthed Woman’s malevolence was also a headache for his master; even now, he hadn’t managed to pacify her.

As the Slit-mouthed Woman walked towards Uehara Futoshi, his breathing grew rapid. Panicked, he took out a Magatama—an object that seemed neither stone nor jade. It was the Eight-foot Magatama.

The Slit-mouthed Woman paused. Uehara Futoshi wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said nervously, ”Slit-mouthed Woman, you’d better help me kill him! Otherwise, when we go back, Master will surely deal with you!”

The Slit-mouthed Woman’s expression filled with anger. She turned her head to look at Chu Hao and took a step forward.

Merely a single step, as if teleporting, placed her in front of Chu Hao, unleashing a powerful burst of Ghost Qi.

Chu Hao was startled, but his expression remained unchanged. The System wants me to subdue her in a domineering manner, not kill her. Could it be that the Slit-mouthed Woman rarely kills people?

Chu Hao examined the Slit-mouthed Woman with interest, maintaining a very calm demeanor. ”The people you attacked,” he said, ”are they still inside you?”

The Slit-mouthed Woman spoke, her Huaxia language fluent. Before being captured, she had frequently mingled in human society and had learned the Huaxia language.

”You are the same as them,” the Slit-mouthed Woman said resentfully.

Chu Hao was baffled but didn’t show any surprise. I have to use a domineering approach to persuade her and complete the mission.

Chu Hao said, ”You don’t have to hide it. You inherently mean no harm, so why force yourself to do things you don’t want to do?”

The Slit-mouthed Woman responded coldly, ”What do you know?”

Chu Hao took a step forward, closing in on this formidable Fierce Ghost until they were mere inches apart, each able to hear the other’s breathing. He said, ”From the first glance, I knew you were not an Evil Ghost. I quite admire you. Come with me.”

The Slit-mouthed Woman stepped back, confused. ”Why should I go with you?”

Chu Hao clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. His cool and dashing profile, exuding a sense of worldly wisdom gained from seeing through mortal vanities, caught the Slit-mouthed Woman’s attention.

Chu Hao looked at the Slit-mouthed Woman and said solemnly, ”I understand you. There is no Ghost in the world that is never slandered, nor is there one that is always praised. No matter what you do, you will face condemnation.”

Angered, the Slit-mouthed Woman asked, ”What are you really trying to say?”

Chu Hao replied, ”I can give you a new beginning. Come with me.”

This was Chu Hao’s method, part of his grand realm of flirting techniques—seducing Ghosts.
