I'm Ximen Qing, living in a ghost story!

"Young...Young Master?"

Chunmei felt Ximen Qing's unwavering gaze, and a blush appeared on her face, truly like the rosy clouds of the setting sun, making her a pitiful sight.

However, Ximen Qing did not look away, but asked directly, "Chunmei, how many years have you been living in this household?"

"Young master, I entered the manor when I was twelve years old and have been helping out in the kitchen ever since!"

Chunmei spoke timidly.

"Oh!" Ximen Qing nodded as if he suddenly understood, then nodded at her: "I've promoted you. From now on, you'll be my personal maid. Go!"

"Really?"

Chunmei's face showed a hint of surprise and disbelief.

After receiving Ximen Qing's affirmative reply, Chunmei burst into tears of joy, truly a sight to behold.

This caused Ximen Qing's Supreme Bone, which had been exhausted from working for a day and a night, to resonate!

However, he suppressed the throbbing in his body and waved for her to leave.

Watching Chunmei's departing figure, Ximen Qing stroked his chin and began to ponder.

[Character Card]

This is also a major category in the prize pool, and the number of items is not small.

Their functions are varied, and most of them are auxiliary cards for a certain hero, which can add buffs to the hero after use.

For example, if you have Li Kui's elderly mother in your character card and place her card next to Li Kui's hero card, you can gain a family bond.

Conversely, if Li Kui's mother is summoned and then killed, the Li Kui card will receive a combat power bonus.

Huh? Isn't that going too far down the hellish route?

Well, anyway, that's the setup.

However, in the real world...

Ximen Qing originally thought that this type of card should not exist anymore.

After all, this is a completely new world, similar to Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio; you can't just conjure up living people!

Unexpectedly, the system actually managed to bring him back to life.

[Character Card]

[After use, it will automatically match the current world background and assign a reasonable background to the character to match the player's identity.]

This system is awesome!

Perhaps because of the added advantage of Ximen Qing's identity, he drew Pang Chunmei's character card.

"We can't possibly end up gathering all three female leads in the future, can we?"

Ximen Qing muttered to himself, feeling that the future was promising... oops, he felt that his future path of cultivation was smooth sailing!

If the three heroines Chunmei, Jinlian, and Ping'er cultivate the Great Dao together, what worries would there be about the stability of important matters?

You have to draw character cards too!

Both hands must be grasped, both hands must be hard!

However, this requires Soul Points!

Where can we find these harmful demons and monsters?

Ximen Qing was confused. He felt that the most confused time in a person's life was when he couldn't find a ghost to kill... or to help the soul find peace.

Is that correct?

Pushing open the door, he realized that his gambling-like card-drawing had already worn off the sun.

The moonlight climbed onto the treetops again.

After a night of arduous training, he achieved a breakthrough in his strength and now possesses a new magic weapon, making him quite itchy to use it.

He didn't even have any thoughts about Chunmei for the time being!

Alas! Soul Points! Soul Points!

While wailing like a pauper, Ximen Qing harbored hopes—

"Haven't any demons or monsters come to my house looking for me?"

I laughed at my own stupidity as soon as I said it. Did I think demons and monsters were flies, that they were everywhere?

But it was at this very moment!

call! ! !

Under the moonlight, a black wind swept in.

Amidst piercing wails and howls, it swept towards the Ximen residence.

The trees in the manor began to tremble, and the shadows under the moonlight began to grotesquely bare their fangs and claws.

Finally, countless branches and leaves tumbled in the air, coalescing into a ghostly face.

He looked at Ximen Qing, who was still standing there dumbfounded, and spat out a foul stench that hit him.

"So you're Ximen Qing? Prepare to die!"

Ximen Qing: (°ー°〃)?

……

Grandma Tree Demon felt extremely lucky.

Risking discovery by the Taoist priests in the city, he sent a part of himself to seek revenge in the city, just to prove a point.

I originally thought I would have to search for this kid in this mansion, which would be a waste of a lot of time.

Unexpectedly, this hothead was admiring the moon in the courtyard in the middle of the night.

Is there such a coincidence in the world?

I'm so glad I succeeded! It's like I was blessed by the Black Mountain God!

At the same time, the same thought echoed in Ximen Qing's mind: "Is there really such a coincidence in the world?"

He was just praying for some ghosts to come and beat him up, and here they are?

However, this guy doesn't seem to have the same aura as Qing'er and the ghost baby! He looks like a ruthless character!

But the words came back again.

He is a completely different person now!

He touched the few sword energy talismans that Gu Yunzi had given him, which were kept close to his chest.

Holding a gold brick in his hand, Ximen Qing, his anger mixed with the frustration of failing to draw a card, cursed, "Hey! What kind of wretched ghost from this backwater village dares to cause trouble in my mansion! That's right! I am Ximen Qing, I don't change my name or surname! Come and get me if you dare!"

"Very well! You truly are arrogant and domineering. Today, I've finally seen what a frog in a well really means! Die! Die with my Qing'er!!"

The Tree Demon Granny laughed in anger, for even though it was just an avatar, it still possessed the strength of a mid-stage Acquired Realm cultivator.

How could I possibly tolerate being insulted by this brat!

It immediately surged forward, accompanied by black winds and withered branches and leaves, like a great black sky.

The air was thick with heat, and shadowy figures loomed overhead, as if they were about to transform into countless arms to tear Ximen Qing apart!

It was at this moment that Ximen Qing made his move; golden light flashed in his hand, and he rose up from the ground—

"What are you babbling about? Take this brick!"

The gold brick soared into the air and instantly slipped from his grasp.

It transformed into a golden streak of light, ignoring the shadows all around it, and rushed towards the central clone.

"What is that?!"

The Tree Demon Granny frowned and raised her hand.

She didn't think the boy's desperate struggle could break her defenses.

But the next moment, a pair of scarlet ghost eyes hidden under the ghostly mist widened in surprise.

boom!

The gold burst open, transforming into a dazzling explosion.

It created a huge impact in the air, illuminating the night sky.

This is not over yet.

Even with his mana completely depleted, Ximen Qing still felt it wasn't enough, so he bit his tongue and spat it onto the sword energy talisman.

Unlike ordinary ghost-suppressing talismans that only require burning, these talismans, imbued with the sword energy personally released by Gu Yunzi, require his essence and blood to activate.

This is what the old Taoist priest told him!

puff!

A wave of bloody stench washed over me.

A flash of sword light appeared, and it rushed towards the opposite side.

Either don't do it at all, or do it thoroughly and leave no room for compromise!

This is Ximen Qing's consistent belief!

So this time, he threw out all three sword energy talismans!

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

In an instant, the courtyard was as bright as day.

At the same time, at Laoshan Temple in the south of the city.

Gu Yunzi, who was meditating and chanting Taoist songs, suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the Ximen residence with a gloomy expression.

In an instant, he leaped into the air, stepping on the eaves and rushing into the darkness.
