I'm modifying myself into the ultimate demon.

Chapter 114 Finally, I became a ghost completely!!!
hiss!
Chen Mo immediately threw away the red embroidered ball and the groom's hat, then quickly took off his groom's clothes and strode out.

The woman didn't stop him; she just quietly watched Chen Mo.

Just as Chen Mo reached the doorway, the scene before him blurred again, and he felt dizzy. When he awoke, he found himself sitting on the edge of the bed once more.

The groom's clothes, hat, red embroidered ball... were all there.

Everything was exactly the same as before.

how come?
However, Chen Mo was no longer a complete novice who had just transmigrated, so he didn't have a mental breakdown or rush to take off the groom's clothes.

He knew that no matter how many times he repeated it, it would be useless.

Ghosts possess the power of awareness.

It can modify what people perceive through their six senses and all sorts of other unpredictable and mysterious means.

The only way to escape all of this is to discover the woman's pattern.

But it doesn't seem to work either.

Since he had not yet been converted to a noble family bloodline, he could not use the various supernatural powers of the noble family.

So, the ghost bone?
However, the fusion degree of the ghost bones is still too small.

Even so, Chen Mo immediately pushed the power of the Ghost Bone to its limit, with dense ghost curse patterns covering his entire body. However, the six senses and six consciousnesses around him remained unchanged.

What I see and hear remains the same.

Just then, the woman spoke up, "Young Master Chen Mo, do not be alarmed. I have no ill intentions towards you. Otherwise, you would have been dead the first time I saw you."

Chen Mo wasn't going to believe any nonsense. "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"

The woman's voice was cold and clear: "I have been trapped here for too long and cannot get out. When I saw that Young Master Chen Mo had the aura of my family, I had no choice but to use the method of a ghost marriage to forcibly establish a relationship with you. All I ask for is a chance to get out. As long as you agree to help me get out, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine. "How do you know my name?"

The woman said, "I just saw Young Master Mo's sea of ​​consciousness. Young Master Mo is truly an extraordinary person; you are not from this world. I am quite interested in the world you lived in your previous life. Could you tell me about that world?"

Chen Mo: "..."

This time, Chen Mo was truly frightened.

How could this female ghost enter someone's consciousness so silently?

This method is simply too astonishing.

Isn't that the same as searching someone else's soul?
For Chen Mo now, this was simply unheard of.

This ghost was far more powerful than any ghost Chen Mo had ever seen before.

This was also the biggest crisis Chen Mo had faced since his transmigration.

At least that's what Chen Mo thinks.

"That's all in the past, there's nothing to talk about."

Ha ha.

The woman laughed, "No wonder Young Master Mo didn't die after hearing the ghost story... Actually, you've already died once. It's clear that the curse is still powerful, and no one has broken it yet. I'm quite disappointed. I thought Young Master Mo was the only exception. Turns out, he's not..."

Chen Mo: "..."

This part is Chen Mo's deepest hidden secret.

The female ghost actually found out.

This female ghost is terrifying.

Before Chen Mo could answer, the woman muttered to herself, "In that case, even if I tell you ghost stories, it won't make a difference. You won't be the exception. Even if you hear ghost stories... you'll still die."

Chen Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This woman doesn't seem to want to kill herself?
But I still couldn't quite believe it.

Just then, the woman suddenly laughed. "So I really do have a younger brother, and you even named him Xiaoti. Jiang Xiaoti... that's a very nice name. It's truly a pity you had to send my brother on his way. It's a pity you haven't found my stepmother's body yet. But you promised my brother that you would find my stepmother's body, give her a proper burial, and then carve the name Xiaoti on her tombstone. Isn't that right?"

Chen Mo: "Yes."

The woman asked again, "You won't go back on your word, right?"

Chen Mo said, "No."

The woman said, "I know you don't believe in ghost stories, but I don't believe in human stories either. I need you to swear an oath."

Without a second thought, Chen Mo replied, "I swear."

It's best to be compliant when facing such a terrifying creature. If you anger it, who knows what terrible things might happen?

The woman breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes. I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. Since Young Master Mo has helped Xiaoti and promised to find Second Mother for a proper burial, I will not treat you unfairly."

As she spoke, the woman actually stood up, walked up to Chen Mo, and gave him a proper curtsy. "If you find my second wife's body, when you bury her and erect the tombstone, could you please add my name to the tombstone as well?"

The ghost meant no harm, so Chen Mo naturally complied and asked, "What's your name?"

The woman said, “My surname is Su, and my given name is Yuqing. My mother died early, and my father made my second concubine the principal wife. I grew up with my second concubine. She treated me very well, and I am grateful to her.”

Chen Mo said, "I agree."

"Thank you, Young Master Mo."

"Then... may I leave?"

"That won't work."

"..."

"Young Master Mo, please don't misunderstand. I just used my summoning power to isolate that woman, separating the two mirror spaces. This space will naturally dissipate in ten years. Young Master Mo will be able to leave then."

The power of inspiration?

Isn't it the power of awakening?

Could the power of inspiration be a form of the power of awareness?
But ten years...

That's been way too long.

Even after I leave, I don't know if my parents are still alive.

Seemingly sensing Chen Mo's worries, the woman was very understanding and took the initiative to say, "Ten years here is equivalent to one month outside. Young Master Mo, please don't worry about your parents growing old and passing away."

Chen Mo was speechless.

You're still pretty good, aren't you?
But Chen Mo also felt a sense of dread.

This method of dividing space and time is extremely bizarre and mysterious. The fact that this female ghost could achieve such a feat shows she is an extremely terrifying being.

But why... is such a terrifying being trapped inside the mirror and unable to escape?
What a terrifying power that must be!
Even a prestigious family would probably find it difficult to achieve such skill.
Thinking hard.

Fortunately, Chen Mo was not an indecisive person. Since he couldn't get out, he decided to stop thinking about it for now.

Then the problem is coming.

Even though it's only been a month outside, I'm supposed to spend ten years here, right?
Spend ten years with a female ghost?
Will this pass?
Ten years from now, are you sure I won't go crazy?
The woman noticed Chen Mo's bad mood and said very politely, "This matter was my fault. I didn't know that Young Master Mo had died once before. I thought that Young Master Mo had survived after hearing a ghost story and was my hope for getting out. That's why I used my power to open this mirror world and brought Young Master Mo in to be married. I didn't expect it to be a misunderstanding. But once the power of invocation is used, I need to wait ten years to open it again."

Chen Mo wasn't interested in what the female ghost was saying, and only asked, "Have we exchanged vows? Is the ceremony complete?"

The woman said, "The ceremony is only half complete, so it's not quite finished yet. After all, we haven't bowed to Heaven and Earth. If the young master is not pleased, then the marriage is off. If he is pleased, then the wedding is considered complete."

Chen Mo inwardly screamed: I don't like it.

But he didn't say it out loud.

To avoid angering the female ghost and causing her to do something detrimental to him.

Chen Mo remained silent.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

The woman spoke up, "Young Master Mo, are you hungry? I'll go and make you something to eat."

"Thank you."

After watching the woman leave, Chen Mo immediately got up, checked the room, and then opened the window, finding it gloomy outside. Taking advantage of the woman's inattention, Chen Mo tried to slip away for a while, only to find that no matter which way he went, he couldn't get out and always ended up back here.

Chen Mo was an expert in magic arrays and knew that this was not a maze, but a spatial loop.

This space is really only that big.

It seems the female ghost was telling the truth.

Before long, the woman actually managed to get some to eat.

A dark, unrecognizable piece of meat.

It smelled strange, unlike anything Chen Mo had ever tasted before. But to Chen Mo's surprise... this piece of meat actually made him feel incredibly hungry. The ghost bone within his body seemed to be craving it.

"what is this?"

The woman said, "This is Ghost Year meat. It is extremely precious, and eating it can increase one's ghostly cultivation. The reason why I can live in the mirror for so long and continue to increase my cultivation is because I have been eating Ghost Year meat all year round."

This was the first time Chen Mo had ever heard of such a thing.

That sounds pretty good.

And it's cooked thoroughly, so it's very delicious.

The woman continued, "This Ghost Year flesh is generally not something ordinary people can eat; they will die if they do. However, since Young Master Mo has Ghost Bones in his body, it is safe for him to eat it. Moreover, Ghost Year flesh has a great enhancing effect on Young Master Mo's fusion with Ghost Bones. If he eats it for ten or twenty years, it might completely melt away the Ghost Bones."

Chen Mo looked at the woman with the red veil in front of him, still unable to see her face. "Aren't you going to eat?"

The woman said, "I just ate in the kitchen. These are for Young Master Mo."

Chen Mo made a quick calculation.

I feel the situation can't possibly get any worse.

It's hard to even define what I am. I already have ghost bones, and now I've been put in this godforsaken place and have to stay for ten years. If I don't eat something, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo grabbed a piece of the Ghost Year meat and took a bite.

hiss!
It suits the taste buds, the spirit, and the six senses.

It’s so delicious.

Ever since Chen Mo acquired the blood of the Ghost Curse, he had always felt aversion to human food and had never tasted anything palatable. Only this Ghost Year meat brought back that long-lost feeling.

Click click click...

Chen Mo quickly devoured the ghost-shaped meat, feeling an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. After the meal, the woman even took the initiative to clear the dishes and go to the kitchen to prepare food. She was truly fulfilling her duties as a wife. If she were a human being, Chen Mo would think this life was pretty good.

After all, he wasn't someone who was particularly particular about life.

But the other party is a terrifying ghost.

Thinking about this makes me feel uneasy.

After washing the dishes, the woman squatted alone under the eaves outside, her chin resting on her hands, staring blankly at the gray sky. She looked utterly alone.

After watching for about several hours, the woman returned to her room and sat down at her dressing table to do her makeup.

Their behavior appeared quite proper, and they showed no intention of harming Chen Mo.

After observing for most of the day, Chen Mo felt much more at ease. He then took his broadsword and went to the courtyard to practice his skills.

Even in such a place, Chen Mo felt that he still could not relax his martial arts skills.

This is because the world is just too strange.

Chen Mo felt he needed to become incredibly strong.

Hearing the noise outside, the woman put down her makeup, ran to the eaves, leaned against the door frame, and quietly watched Chen Mo practice martial arts.

This took up most of the day.

There is no day or night here; it's all dimly lit. Perhaps because it's a mirror world, and mirrors are connected to the outside world, they can sense external light. When it's daytime outside, it's much brighter here.

When it's night outside, it gets a bit darker here.

Around evening, the woman went out of the kitchen again and fussed around for a while, making a meal of Ghost Year meat for Chen Mo.

After half a day of training, Chen Mo was indeed hungry.

I ate another big piece of Ghost Year meat.

While the woman went to the kitchen to wash the dishes in the evening, Chen Mo sat in the living room and turned on the control panel.

A shocking discovery...

【Name: Shadow Demon Bone】

[Rank: Silver Life Aura]

[Type: Yin-type Ghost Bones]

Integration Progress: 5/100

The integration progress has actually increased by a full point.

Keep in mind that Chen Mo's fusion progress had only increased by two points in the past three months. The enhancement effect of this Ghost Year Meat... is indeed astonishing.

This woman wasn't lying.

Seeing the changes on the panel, Chen Mo's horror and aversion to women lessened slightly.

Chen Mo hurriedly grabbed his sword and went to the courtyard to practice his skills, testing the effects of the increased fusion with the ghost bones. The results were astonishing.

The woman leaned against the door frame again, watching Chen Mo practice his martial arts.

It was very late when Chen Mo was exhausted. The woman even went to the ancient well to fetch water for him, boil it, and give him a bath. Chen Mo wasn't comfortable having a female ghost serve him, so he bathed himself. When he returned to his room, he found the female ghost lying on the bed, beckoning to him and patting the spot next to her.

"Young Master Mo, come and sleep on the side."

Chen Mo: "..."

Turtle...

Sleeping with a female ghost?
How could this be...?

At least Chen Mo cannot accept this right now.

Instead of directly refusing, she said, "I'm not tired, I'll continue practicing. You should rest well."

Wow wow~
Chen Mo went to the courtyard alone to practice his martial arts.

When the woman got up in the middle of the night, she found Chen Mo leaning against the eaves outside, hugging a broadsword, fast asleep.

The woman then brought over a quilt and covered Chen Mo with it.

When Chen Mo woke up the next day, he saw the quilt on his body and knew it was the work of the female ghost. When he turned around, he found the woman still sitting in front of the dressing table doing her makeup.

Chen Mo then carried the quilt back to his room. Perhaps because he had received kindness from others, he explained, "I was too tired from practicing martial arts last night, and I fell asleep without realizing it."

The woman said, "Yes, I know."

Chen Mo put down the quilt and used a broadsword to draw a "1" on the wall.

This is the first stroke of the character "正" (zhèng), which he intended to use to record time.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Two tally marks were written on the wall.

Chen Mo spent these ten days very fulfilling. On the one hand, the woman truly did not harm Chen Mo, nor did she plot anything against him. On the other hand, she served Chen Mo every day.

They were very generous with the ghost-shaped meat that Chen Mo was given to eat.

Chen Mo's fusion rate with the Ghost Bone reached six percent.

All aspects of our capabilities are steadily improving.

However, Chen Mo clearly felt that with the continued consumption of Ghost Year Flesh, the effect on fusing with Ghost Bones was not as obvious as before, but it was still quite significant.

Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout this period, both sides treated each other with the utmost respect.

Chen Mo's fusion rate with the Ghost Bone reached an astonishing 30%.

Mingyu Gong has reached its maximum level, and the ninth level of martial arts mastery has been achieved. Benglei Jin has also entered the eighth level. He is vaguely touching the threshold of the ninth level.

To Chen Mo's relief, although the fusion rate of the ghost bones had greatly improved, Chen Mo's appearance had not changed significantly.

That day, Chen Mo was practicing his martial arts in the courtyard when the woman leaned against the door frame and watched him. Suddenly, she spoke up, "Young Master Mo's cultivation has already reached the peak of the ninth level of Martial Master. Without the bloodline of a noble family, it is impossible for him to improve any further. It is a great pity."

Chen Mo swung his sword outwards, causing the earth to tremble violently. "Miss Su, do you have a solution?"

After five years of getting to know each other, Chen Mo no longer felt the initial fear and rejection towards Miss Su. Instead, he gradually came to regard her as one of his own.

Five years!
Five whole years!
The human heart is made of flesh.

Su Yuqing said, "Of course there is a way. It just depends on whether Young Master Mo likes it or not."

Chen Mo had long been frustrated by being stuck at the ninth level of Martial Master, unable to modify his bloodline to be compatible with the bloodlines of his aristocratic families due to a lack of sufficient original essence. He had been unable to advance to the next level.

While continuing to hone one's martial arts skills can slowly improve combat power, the increase is simply too small.

Chen Mo would not hesitate for a moment if there was a way.

Su Yuqing said, "We'll take the path of ghosts."

"The way of ghosts?"

"Well, actually, many scions of noble families raise ghosts or use the power of ghosts. In the end, quite a few lose control and become ghosts themselves. I was originally a scion of a top noble family, but an accident happened when I came to visit relatives in Dayin Mountain, which is why I couldn't become a ghost. Young Master Mo already has ghost bones in his body, which gives him the foundation to become a ghost. If you are willing, you can become a ghost. Then you will naturally not be afraid of scions of noble families."

Chen Mo paused for a moment, then carefully examined Su Yuqing.

I never expected that.

This woman is pitiful too.

He was originally a scion of a top-tier family, but ended up becoming a ghost.

It seemed that I had no way out.

Chen Mo composed himself slightly and asked, "Does Miss Su have a way to become a ghost?"

Su Yuqing said, "Yes."

Chen Mo had no doubt about Su Yuqing's abilities. "What would happen if I became a ghost queen?"

Su Yuqing said, "Same as me. Actually, Young Master Mo, there's no need to be so afraid of becoming a ghost. In fact, the bloodlines of disciples from noble families are all related to ghosts, and the evil gods they worship are all ghosts. In this world, what gods are there? They are just some powerful ghosts who, with a little packaging, have packaged themselves as gods. As long as humanity remains, what does it matter whether one is a human or a ghost? Aren't there enough evil people in this world? When those evil people get ruthless, they are not necessarily better than ghosts."

Chen Mo agreed wholeheartedly, "Miss Su is right. Please elaborate on the details of becoming a ghost."

Upon hearing that Chen Mo was going to voluntarily become a ghost, the woman was actually quite pleased: "It's simple. You just catch a ghost, then melt it down. You'll become a ghost yourself. The effects of the ghost bone will also be greatly enhanced."

This method is simple and crude, but it makes perfect sense.

It is said that you are the type of food you eat.

Eating ghosts replenishes ghosts.

That makes perfect sense.

Chen Mo looked around, “But there are no ghosts here that I can smelt.”

Su Yuqing ran to the dressing table, took a mirror out of the drawer, and handed it to Chen Mo: "Look."

Chen Mo took the mirror and saw a completely black thing standing in it, with blood-red eyes.

Su Yuqing explained, "This is a little imp I caught before. If I let him develop for a few more years, he could become a Shadow Demon. I caught him. If Young Master Mo is determined, I can help you refine him."

Chen Mo looked at the evil spirit in the mirror staring at him intently, its appearance extremely ferocious, and said, "This evil spirit looks fierce, will there be any problems with my smelting?"

Su Yuqing said, "Young Master Mo has a ghost bone in his body, and it has already fused with almost one-third of it. You can refine it without any problems. After refining it, you will have a preliminary power of awareness. Later, I will teach you the method to freely use the power of awareness."

Chen Mo stared at the mirror for a long time before finally making up his mind: "Alright, please help me melt down this evil spirit, Miss Su."

……

Time flies.

Two more years have passed in a flash.

That night, it was dark and gloomy outside the courtyard.

A boy dressed in a groom's uniform squatted under a tree, his eyes bloodshot and his voice deep and hoarse.

"Jie Jie Jie~"

"Hehe~"

"I have finally become a ghost completely..."

(End of this chapter)
