I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse
Chapter 294 Chī_1

Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Chī_1

The two ghosts had keen hearing, and Yang Kai’s words naturally fell into their ears.

The one holding the ledger smiled at Yang Kai and said, "Young Master Yang, it’s not that we don’t rest, but really, there’s no reason to. Our current state, in terms of what you people in the mortal world say, is that we have been single for over three hundred years."

Yang Kai’s face was full of surprise: "No way, you guys are ghosts, which essentially makes you official employees of the Underworld. Is it really so bad that you can’t even find a girlfriend? In your daily routine of dealing with ghosts, haven’t you come across one or two female ghosts you fancied?"

The ghost holding the ledger pointed to his clothes and laughed, "Ghosts can’t really engage in marriage talks with female ghosts, and as you see, I haven’t changed these clothes for over a hundred years. Those fashion-conscious women in the Underworld surely won’t spare us a second glance. Besides, being a ghost is like being a pawn, the most laborious of jobs. No lady from the Underworld would want to marry a ghost like us."

Having heard this, you couldn’t help but chuckle and say, "Brother Cha, no need to complain. In a minute, we will burn two villas and four beauties for you guys."

At these words, the eyes of the ghost with the ledger brightened instantly, but he still modestly deferred, "How could I impose like that, letting Master Li spend so much."

"It’s nothing, just a small matter. You two Elder Brother Chas are here for this fellow, right?" you said, pointing at the madman you had immobilized.

Once the matter at hand was mentioned, the ghost with the ledger turned to look at the madman. After giving the madman a few glances, the ghost with the ledger nodded, "Indeed, it’s him."

As he spoke, the ghost with the ledger reached into the cloth bag at his waist and pulled out something the size of a pen. Without allowing you to take a closer look, the ghost shook his hand slightly, and the small object instantly enlarged, turning into a long banner with a strange Magic Seal painted on it.

At that moment, you were very close to the banner, and you could clearly sense the Magic Seal on it emitting a strange aura as if it could absorb one’s mind and attention.

The ghost wasted no words, holding the banner and gently waving it. As the banner waved, a strange energy that made your head spin a bit rippled out like ripples on the surface of water.

After a few shakes of the banner, the ghost struck the bottom of the flagstaff heavily on the ground and called out sharply, "Come!"

The moment the word fell, the madman’s body suddenly began to tremble violently, and the six Talisman Papers you had affixed to him turned to ash and fell to the ground.

"Wooooah!!"

Accompanied by a shrill howl, you all saw a dark shadow suddenly shoot out from the top of the madman’s head, which spun several times in mid-air before being sucked into the banner!

"This, is this the legendary Soul Summoning Banner?"

Yang Kai, who liked reading web novels in his spare time, was very interested in unique magic artifacts.

The ghost with the ledger smiled and gave a slight shake of the hand holding the banner, causing it to shrink back into a small object again, which he then placed back into his cloth bag.

At the same time, the ghost turned to you with a smile and said, "Master Li, please release that female ghost from your pocket as well."

You nodded, and the Talisman Papers in your pocket flew out by themselves. As the papers shattered, the female ghost slowly became visible.

As soon as the female ghost appeared, the iron chains held by the ghost with the chains made a noise on their own. The female ghost obediently floated over and was swiftly bound by the iron chains.

"Master Li, we brothers shall take our leave now."

"Please wait a moment." Seeing the ghosts about to leave, you quickly called out to them, "Brother Cha, what was all that about just now?"

You pointed to the man who had already collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Ever since the dark shadow inside him was absorbed, his appearance had returned to normal.

The Ghost holding the ledger glanced at his brother and turned his head to say to you, "Master Li, this is an internal problem of the Underworld. As I said, it may not be a good thing for you to know."

You shrugged and laughed, "Even if you don’t tell us, haven’t we already found out? Besides, this matter must not be that simple, right? According to the ghost lady, this madman has killed many women."

The Ghost nodded and said, "We know, the tragedy has already happened, and we can’t undo it. We can only hope for their quick reincarnation."

"But, if I’m not mistaken, that madman just now shouldn’t be just an ordinary Evil Spirit, right? It comes from the Underworld?"

After hesitating for a moment, the Ghost eventually nodded, "Just as Master Li guessed, that black shadow indeed comes from the Underworld, belonging to the Demons and Monsters, specifically the demon lineage."

You frowned and asked, "Aren’t those beings eternally imprisoned in the Hell of Evil Ghosts by the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? How did it get out?"

The Ghost sighed lightly, "It’s a long story, and it would be best for Master Li not to delve too deeply into this. However, since Master Li is now aware, I would still advise you to try not to get involved. The Underworld has already dispatched Underworld Soldiers to handle this matter, and they are notoriously brutal in their methods. When exterminating ghosts, they often mistakenly kill capable individuals with superpowers from the Mortal World, unlike us Ghosts who are more reasonable."

Hearing the severity of the situation, you nodded seriously, "I understand. Since the Underworld is already taking action, I won’t be so foolish as to look for trouble. Thank you, Elder Brother Cha, for your help."

No sooner had you finished speaking than Nie Ying, standing next to Yang Kai, spoke up, "Since the president is giving a small gift to the two Elder Brother Cha, please leave your names so we can directly offer it to you."

The two Ghosts looked at each other, and the one holding the ledger smiled and said, "Since it’s Master Li’s kind gesture, we brothers can’t possibly refuse."

Saying this, the two Ghosts stepped back three steps, and the one with the ledger bowed to the three of you, "My name is Kan Zi Hui."

The other Ghost, holding the Iron Chain, also bowed with a fist, "Kan Zi Huang."

As they spoke, the figures of the two Ghosts slowly faded away under your watchful gaze, leaving behind six blood-red characters on the ground. After lingering for a few seconds, the characters also quickly disappeared.

Yang Kai pinched his nose and joked, "It seems these two Brother Ghosts don’t usually have much to gain, their lives must be quite tough."

Nie Ying rolled her eyes at Yang Kai irritably and said, "Nonsense, don’t you know that the smallest denomination of Joss Paper is now a million? A billion Joss Paper can’t even buy a bicycle in the Underworld!"

"Wow, does that mean we need to burn a lot for them?"

Nie Ying, not in the mood to banter with Yang Kai, turned to you and said, "President, let’s go buy things to burn for them now, better to avoid complications later."

"No worries, leave this matter to me and Zongzi. Tonight is Christmas Eve, and since you two are a couple, you should definitely enjoy yourselves to the fullest."

Upon hearing this, Yang Kai immediately nodded vigorously, "Right, right, it’s Christmas Eve tonight. Honey, let’s go shopping, I’ll buy you anything you want!"

"Not interested."

Saying this, Nie Ying turned and walked away.

"Eh?"
