Let's Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 106: Dispel the Evil Spirit (4)
[Miss, it’s time for a heroic rescue!]

“Can’t win.” Chuzheng looked on indifferently and had no intention of intervening.

[…] Can’t you change your lines when you’re bluffing? Who believes you can’t win?! Don’t you have an invincible mode?!

Chuzheng watched as a few ghosts knocked the young man to the ground.

Those who could enter the Ghost Market were used to dealing with ghosts, and such people in this world were called Heavenly Masters, Taoists, Mages, and so on.

This young man appearing in the Ghost Market couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person, right?

Thinking this way, Chuzheng felt justified in continuing to watch the scene unfold.

However, it turned out that the young man was indeed an ordinary person; he only knew how to dodge the ghosts’ attacks and didn’t know how to fight back at all.

Seeing the young man about to become a blood-splattered mess, Chuzheng had to step in.

“Hey.”

The ghosts attacking the young man suddenly looked towards Chuzheng, who had just appeared.

“Ah! A ghost!”

The few ghosts vanished in an instant.

Chuzheng: “…”

Did she look that scary to ghosts?

Why did they scream?

Aren’t you ghosts yourselves?

Chuzheng stepped on the dry branches scattered on the ground and walked over to the young man. She picked up a twig and poked the young man lying on the ground: “Still alive?”

Can’t let that Good Person Card expire!

The young man grabbed the twig and looked up, meeting Chuzheng’s gaze without fear, and only said, “Little Beauty, if you keep watching for a bit longer, I’ll really die.”

The young man’s voice was clear and pleasant to the ear.

Chuzheng: “…”

This… this target of corruption is a bit different!!

He called me Little Beauty!

It was normal for the young man to have noticed Chuzheng standing at a distance, which is why he wasn’t surprised to see her now.

The young man sat up from the ground, and the pattern on his sleeve became clear, with fine lines outlining a lifelike Golden Dragon.

The young man pushed back his hair to reveal a stunning face with delicate features and slightly upturned lips, embodying a heart-stopping beauty.

“Little Beauty, don’t let my good looks bewitch you, for humans and ghosts walk different paths,” said the young man, suddenly breaking into a smile.

He is quite handsome…

His hair looks soft, too.

I want to touch it.

Chuzheng coldly prodded his wound: “Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It hurts, it really hurts,” the young man cried while holding his wound, “How could you be so cruel, Little Beauty? If you incapacitate me, will you take care of me afterward?”

Chuzheng: “…”

“I’m a ghost,” Chuzheng said. “Aren’t you afraid of me?”

The young man paused, sized her up, and then nodded: “Yeah, I’m scared.”

He shrugged: “But what’s the use? I can’t beat you anyway.”

Chuzheng: “…” You make a good point, but it doesn’t look like you’re all that scared to me; you seem pretty happy smiling like that!

Rustle rustle…

A faint noise came from behind, and the young man’s expression changed slightly as he pulled Chuzheng aside to hide.

“Shh!” The young man put a finger to his lips, signaling Chuzheng to be quiet.

The group of youths that Chuzheng had stumbled upon moved quickly downhill, circling around the spot.

“Damn it, how did he disappear?”

“Did he run away?”

“Let’s go, the ghosts behind us are catching up.”

“Lucky bastard, let’s go, let’s go.”

The youths did not find anyone and quickly left in a different direction. Not half a minute after their departure, several ghosts burst out, roaring angrily in place.

The ghosts chased after the direction the youths had taken off in, and the young man sat down on the ground, catching his breath.

“Thank you for saving me,” the youth tilted his head and crisply said, “You are a good ghost.”

Chuzheng: “…” King, Bastard, he, he called me a good ghost!!

Is my mission not completed yet?

[Miss, anything is possible in a dream.]

Chuzheng: “…”

Little swindler!

“I have nothing to thank you with, I can only…”

Chuzheng hadn’t heard the rest of what the boy was saying when she suddenly felt a warmth on her lips, and her body seemed to heat up along with it.

“This is to thank you, may we meet again, Little Beauty.”

Splash…

Cold water splashed up as the youth disappeared into the water’s glimmering surface.

Chuzheng’s gaze shifted back and forth between the spot where the boy had just been and the water where he had vanished.

This little swindler had obviously planned his escape route in advance…

Chuzheng snapped a branch off a nearby tree, tossed it to the ground, and stepped on it, grinding it beneath her foot. The Good Person Card cannot be gotten rid of, cannot be gotten rid of, cannot be gotten rid of…

—but legs can be broken.

She felt much better.

–

As Chuzheng was making her way out, she ran into that group again. The ghosts from the Underworld Office were fining them, and the group seemed to have handed over something to the Underworld Office before they were let go.

“Older brother, older brother, Xia Han is missing.”

A few youths hurried over.

The young man with the long braid looked upset: “How is he missing? Weren’t you all supposed to watch him?”

“We don’t know, we just turned around and he was gone,” the youth who had brought the news said indignantly, “We’ve searched everywhere but couldn’t find him.”

“Search quickly,” the long-braided youth ordered.

“Brother, I told you not to bring him, but you all insisted. Now he’s gotten lost on his own, and we have to go look for him…”

“Shut up, split up and search.”

“…”

The long-braided youth split the people into several groups and sent them in different directions to search for Xia Han.

The King’s Account was sending her Xia Han’s information.

Xia Han.

A person who was born with the ability to see ghosts, but had no talent for being a Heavenly Master.

Xia Han’s parents, because he could see ghosts, did not like him and thought he brought bad luck.

So they spent a lot of money and pulled some strings to send him to Taokong Mountain to fend for himself.

Xia Han had no talent and only a good-looking face, which made the few female disciples of the mountain hang around him all day long.

Thus, the male disciples of Taokong Mountain despised him and he was always isolated. Gradually, even the female disciples dared not speak to him anymore.

This time at the Ghost Market, he also came along but unexpectedly, his fellow Taoist brothers left him behind.

Xia Han was injured and thought he would die there, but when he woke up, he found that not only had he not died, he also had an Evil Ghost at his command.

The Evil Ghost tried to kill him but failed and was forced to obey his orders.

Xia Han was very pleased, thinking he had gained good from misfortune, and that he could also capture ghosts and become a Heavenly Master in the future.

The Evil Ghost was brutal, and although Xia Han could control it, he couldn’t completely control it.

When he wasn’t looking, the Evil Ghost got loose and killed several of Taokong Mountain’s disciples.

Those disciples happened to be the ones who usually had conflicts with Xia Han.

The fact that Xia Han kept an Evil Ghost was exposed, and no matter how he explained it, no one believed him.

He had no choice but to flee.

Xia Han was hunted down relentlessly and, with no other way to protect himself, he began to continuously use the Evil Ghost to serve him.

Gradually, Xia Han transformed from a boy who knew nothing into a Great Demon Head who was naturally cruel and killed indiscriminately. He became someone whom the entire Taoism Sect sought to eliminate.

Chuzheng exhaled a breath and looked at the dark sky above the Ghost Market.

Xia Han’s Evil Ghost, it must have been something he brought back from the Ghost Market. She had just saved him before, could that help avoid the scenario where Xia Han possessed the Evil Ghost?

Without the Evil Ghost, he wouldn’t go down the path of becoming corrupted.
