After the female spirit left, Ming Li saw the ghost gate being pushed open from the inside. Two spirits holding soul-hooking locks floated out. Ming Li heard one of them say, "Damn it! That slut actually escaped! Hurry up and catch her! Otherwise, when the Ghost King finds out, we'll be finished!"
The other spirit nodded solemnly at this.
The next second, Ming Li saw the figures of the two spirits float away. Seeing this, Ming Li narrowed her eyes, a red light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Then her figure disappeared.
Now invisible, Ming Li looked at the ghost gate filled with Yin energy in front of her and floated in.
After floating for a while, Ming Li arrived at a ghost market. Other than being a bit eerie and terrifying, it was no different from a temple fair in the mortal world. After browsing for a while, Ming Li felt bored and turned to leave. However, as she turned, Ming Li found a group of spirits standing behind her. Their faces wore eerie, expectant smiles, looking as if they had taken an aphrodisiac.
Ming Li: "......" What the heck? What's going on? Did her invisibility skill disappear?
The system, perched on Ming Li's shoulder and trembling, scanned nervously and said to Ming Li, "Host... Host, retract your radiance..."
"???" Ming Li looked confused. "What radiance?"
System: "The golden light of merit. Damn it! Who knows where this host got so much golden light of merit? It's attracting almost all the spirits in the underworld."
Ming Li: "?"
Ming Li frowned and directly retracted all her aura. Instantly, the spirits crowding around her seemed to snap awake, looking at each other blankly, and then one by one, they left with confused expressions.
Seeing this, Ming Li remained expressionless. The system, however, breathed a sigh of relief. It was too terrifying! A bunch of spirits! Pale-faced spirits! The system was almost scared to death.
Seeing Ming Li still wandering in the underworld, the system swallowed and asked, "Host, what... what else are you going to do??"
"Nothing much," Ming Li floated forward expressionlessly. Before long, she arrived in front of a luxuriously decorated palace. This was also the place with the most concentrated ghost energy in the entire underworld. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the lair of that Ghost King.
Seeing Ming Li holding her sword and looking like she was about to cause trouble, the system swallowed and quickly stopped her, "Host!"
Hearing the system's voice, Ming Li glanced at it indifferently. "What is it?"
"What are you going to do?"
Ming Li looked at the palace in front of her and said in a flat tone, "Go meet that so-called male protagonist."
System: "Why don't we just go back..."
"What are you afraid of as a system? He can't see you anyway."
System: "......" While that makes sense, it's afraid the male protagonist can't handle the beating!
Ignoring the system's obstruction, Ming Li floated into the palace with her sword. However, after searching everywhere, she couldn't find the Ghost King. Instead, she found many beautiful female spirits in his side halls.
The female spirits had distressed expressions. A few tried to run, but were caught by the ghost soldiers at the door and severely beaten.
Seeing this, Ming Li frowned and asked the system, "What's going on with these female spirits?"
The system ran to check the original plot and said, "Host, these... are the male protagonist's harem... The original plot states that after being disfavored by the Ghost King, all these female spirits were killed and absorbed by him..."
Ming Li: "......" So, the future husband of her little sister is a heartless scumbag?!
