I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 1185: Ghost Banshee

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: Ghost Banshee

"Explaining is unnecessary. From the beginning until now, you’ve never truly trusted me."

"It’s not like that, I..."

You raise an eyebrow, smiling and say, "Is that so? Then can you tell me if Hua Jieyu is your real name?"

"I..." Hua Jieyu starts to speak but then hesitates.

"Alright, it doesn’t matter. I’ve always been a free-spirited person. Let’s part on good terms."

As you say this, you step past Hua Jieyu and walk towards Ling Yifeng.

Continuing forward, the mercenaries dare not approach you, parting the way for you, and now you’ve come before Ling Yifeng, saying with a smile, "To tell you the truth, if it wasn’t for the care you provided back at College of Yanluo, I wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk to you now."

Ling Yifeng looks puzzled: "College of Yanluo? Have we met before? Who are you, exactly?"

"Me? My name is Mu Yun. Of course, all you need to know is that I know you."

Ling Yifeng is still puzzled and is about to speak, but you interrupt him: "You don’t need to guess my identity, and I don’t want to waste words with you. Hua Jieyu was never my woman. Although these past few days together made me gradually develop feelings for her, but—"

At this point, the flames around your body rise, forcing everyone except Ling Yifeng to step back a dozen steps or so.

"Mu Yun..." Hua Jieyu’s voice is now filled with tears.

However, you still don’t give Hua Jieyu the chance to explain, you continue with your loud voice: "I am a man who is very possessive. What’s mine is mine, and no one is allowed to touch it. Without my permission, if anyone dares to meddle with my possessions, I’ll kill their entire family!"

A dense killing aura instantly spreads everywhere, enveloping all the people around like a layer of dark clouds.

"Hmph, I doubt you have the capability," Ling Yifeng is surprised, yet he is not afraid of the aura you are emitting.

"I don’t want to fight you, not now at least."

Although Hua Jieyu’s posture softens your heart, you know you must carry on with this act.

You pause for a moment, then continue: "I’ve always been a democratic person. With relationships, if we’re good, we’re together; if not, we break it off; it’s that simple. Alright, I won’t say any more nonsense. My current identity is a mercenary, and since I’ve taken your money, I should do the job for you. I’m heading north to find your brother. After I find him, send the money to Beauty and the Beast Mercenary Group Headquarters. From now on, stay out of my sight!"

No sooner has the sound of your voice faded, you have taken to the skies. In the eyes of everyone including Ling Yifeng, astonishment written on their faces, a pair of flame wings suddenly burst from your back, and with a roar, you flap the flame wings and fly high into the sky!

Awesome!

This is the feeling of flying!

"Hey, Mu Yun, wait for me!" Huang Quan’s voice calls out from the crowd, as he soars into the sky, quickly following after you.

After you leave, Ling Yifeng speaks to himself in confusion: "That guy said he received my help at the College of Yanluo, tsk, I can’t remember. However, the tone of his speech does remind me of someone."

Ling Yifeng continues to ponder your identity but decides not to dwell on it. However, when he turns to look for Hua Jieyu, he discovers that she has slipped past the two trusted aides and is running in the direction you flew off in.

"Sister..."

Just as Ling Yifeng is about to call out, he immediately stops himself. He quickly glances to his left and right, then takes his twenty-plus trusted aides and immediately follows after her.

"Ai, the play just now was really well performed." Huang Quan, catching up to you, gives you a thumbs up.

"F*ck, you saw through it?"

You are startled, not expecting Huang Quan to have seen through it all at a glance.

"Nonsense, I’ve been following the whole time," Huang Quan said with a chuckle. "Who would’ve thought Hua Jieyu is the illustrious Empire’s Princess, huh? My second model turns out to be the Empire’s Princess, just thinking about it excites me."

"Psh," you rolled your eyes.

"Mu Yun, how did you come up with that move? Using flames as wings, and then gliding on air currents, tsk tsk. If I didn’t know you beforehand, I would’ve definitely thought you were a Fire Demon!"

However, at this moment you couldn’t spare any extra energy to speak, as the flame wings on your back slowly shrank, soon disappearing altogether.

Luckily, you hadn’t flown high, you had known all along that you couldn’t fly far, so you immediately fell from the sky.

The idea of using flame wings to fly had come to you back in Moyun Village, but you just hadn’t had enough power to perfect it until now.

In reality, the flame wings weren’t the true reason you could fly. The reason you were able to take to the skies was mainly because you released a large amount of Fire Element from within your body, letting the thermal energy generated by the Fire Element carry you up into the air, similar to a hot air balloon. The flame wings were just a ruse to fool others, and they also looked more impressive, visually shocking the enemy.

However, "God of War" does record real close combat flying magic, but you’ll have to wait until you find the Vein of Wind Element and your body becomes filled with the Wind Element.

By that time, with the assistance of flame wings, the effect would be as impressive as you could wish for.

Your body immediately fell onto a tree trunk, but you didn’t stop, your feet tapped lightly and you continued to Rapid Run forward.

"Mu Yun, do you know where that damned Prince’s brother is?" Huang Quan simply landed on the ground and ran through the woods with you.

"I don’t know," you suddenly stopped, leaning against a tree and gasping for breath.

"F*ck! If you don’t know, then why the hell did you run out here?"

"Bananas and two servings of char siu! Why are you using my catchphrase?" you gave Huang Quan a look of disdain, then said, "I said I don’t know, but that doesn’t mean others don’t!"

"You..."

Just as Huang Quan was about to speak, you interrupted: "Are you going to follow me, or are you going to stick with your human model?"

"Do I even need to say it? Of course, I’ll follow you, they’re no fun as a big group!"

As you were speaking, a sudden chilling breeze swept through the trees, and both you and Huang Quan shivered uncontrollably. You glanced at each other, each seeing a trace of surprise in the other’s eyes.

"Did you feel that just now?" Huang Quan asked you softly.

You nodded gravely: "Yeah, what was that feeling just now? Why is there a cold sensation rising from my feet to my head?"

"Seems like a ghost," Huang Quan said in a low voice.

"It doesn’t feel right, I’ve dealt with undead creatures before and they didn’t give off this kind of vibe."

"I know that. My elder sister also has, has some subordinates... Ah, over there!" Huang Quan suddenly yelled, pointing at a thicket not far behind you.

As you turned around, you saw a woman floating slowly out of the thicket. Her head was hanging down, making it impossible to see her face clearly. She was draped in a long grey-white robe that enveloped her entire figure, at first glance resembling a banshee from the legends.

"Don’t, don’t come any closer," Huang Quan couldn’t help but tremble, his voice shaking as well.

He was still a child, after all, and tended to be timid around supernatural entities.

"Hey, woman, lift your head and let me take a good look," you said rudely to the woman hovering in mid-air.

"Such an interesting man," the woman said in a very harsh voice, and as you heard it, you subconsciously took two steps backwards, while a trace of blood seeped from your ear.
