"What in the world is this thing!"
Seeing the Ghost King's reaction, Shen Xiu'er was also a bit confused. "It's just a... ordinary jade bracelet."
The Ghost King's face darkened. Suddenly remembering something, he retracted all his aura and ghostly energy, and reached out to take off the jade bracelet on Shen Xiu'er's wrist. This time, as expected, his hand was not injured. Just as the Ghost King was about to remove the bracelet, Shen Xiu'er reacted. She instinctively kicked out, hitting him squarely.
Ghost King: "!!!"
The Ghost King released his grip on Shen Xiu'er, groaning in pain while clutching his crotch.
Seeing this, Shen Xiu'er turned to run, but before she could take two steps, she was enveloped by a mass of ghostly energy.
Looking at the ghostly energy that completely encased her, Shen Xiu'er's brows furrowed deeply. Although she had learned some ghost-catching techniques from her grandfather over the years, the one in front of her was clearly beyond her ability to handle.
As she was thinking, Shen Xiu'er's peripheral vision caught a familiar figure. Sister?!
After confirming that the person who arrived was indeed her sister, Shen Xiu'er visibly relaxed.
As soon as Ming Li arrived, she saw Shen Xiu'er trapped in a cage made of ghostly energy. Ming Li's lips twitched, suspecting that this Ghost King might have some peculiar fetish...
At this moment, Shen Xiu'er spoke, "Sister, be careful, he's not human!"
Ming Li nodded and flung a ball of fire, instantly incinerating the cage that held Shen Xiu'er.
"Go stay over there."
Shen Xiu'er nodded obediently upon hearing this, moved to the side, and watched Ming Li with adoring eyes.
Wow~ Sister is so cool! So amazing!
Meanwhile, Ming Li gazed coldly at the Ghost King in front of her, whose face still held a sinister smile.
The Ghost King also looked at Ming Li. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the air turned frigid.
After a long pause, the Ghost King seemed to recall something, his brows furrowing. "It's you?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. What was going on? Did this guy recognize the original host?
System: "...If I'm not mistaken, the old man who killed the original host before was summoned by this Ghost King. As for why, it's not clear for now."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li said nothing more. She directly pulled out her large iron hammer and began to fight. However, remembering that this guy was currently possessing someone else, Ming Li kindly pulled the Ghost King's soul out of Yang Lin's body before proceeding to beat him.
The Ghost King, whose head was already askew: "......" Where did this violent woman come from?
"Damn it! Who exactly are you!"
Hearing his question, Ming Li stopped her actions and said with a playful smirk, "You tell me." If this guy hadn't courted death and killed the original host, would she have come here?
Ghost King: "......" Damn it! I have no idea.
Seeing that Ming Li looked like she was about to kill the Ghost King, the System quickly intervened, "Host! Calm down! Please put away your dangerous thoughts! The male lead cannot die!"
Hearing the System's somewhat familiar words, Ming Li raised an eyebrow and withdrew her restless hand.
Seeing Ming Li relax her guard, the Ghost King's eyes darkened. He gathered a large amount of ghostly energy in his hand and then threw it forward fiercely. That mass of ghostly energy acted like a smoke bomb, releasing a large amount of ghostly mist that obscured everyone's vision. Seizing this opportunity, the Ghost King turned and fled.
Seeing this, the System breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it! Its adorable little candles were almost going to be featured again.
