Let s Squander A Billion First! - Chapter 111

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Dispel the Evil Spirit (9)
“I told you, I’ve never seen the ghost you’re looking for,” Chuzheng said icily.

Senior Brother Changbian, “Sorry, it was my junior brother who was impulsive.”

The strength of this female ghost was a bit elusive, and Senior Brother Changbian did not want to offend her at this moment, to avoid any unnecessary complications.

Their purpose for coming today was to catch that evil ghost.

The young man was helped up by Senior Brother Changbian, and though he seemed reluctant, he settled down after being quietly scolded by Senior Brother Changbian.

Chuzheng’s hands were stuffed in her pockets as she floated out of the room.

Xia Han, “…” Little Beauty!

Chuzheng instantly returned to the room.

Senior Brother Changbian, “…”

The young man, “…”

Chuzheng, “…”

This has nothing to do with me!!

Stop looking at me!

Do you think I wanted to come back?

It’s all because of this troublemaker!

Xia Han looked at her with glee, and if it weren’t for his senior brother standing by, he probably would have pounced on her.

Chuzheng had no choice but to stand on the edge, determined to find a way to break this damned contract.

Otherwise, at Xia Han’s mere thought, she would have to appear before him.

So annoying.

–

Chuzheng leaned against the wall, watching indifferently as Xia Han was pushed to the center by the young man.

The young man used a knife to cut open Xia Han’s finger, and the blood dripped into the clear water.

The red blood, like spreading ink, diffused, while Xia Han silently hung his head, his aura darkening, lacking the vitality he had before.

The company boss crouched in the corner, watching nervously and fearfully.

The temperature in the room seemed to be dropping.

“Senior brother…”

Senior Brother Changbian raised a finger, and the room fell into dead silence once again.

The two of them watched their surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, the female ghost poked her head out from the ceiling and plummeted fiercely downward.

“Senior brother!” the young man shouted loudly.

Senior Brother Changbian pushed Xia Han out of the way and blocked the female ghost.

“Ah…”

The female ghost’s arm was hit; it fizzed with smoke as she screamed and retreated into the ceiling.

“Useless,” the young man glanced at Xia Han with disdain.

“Left!” Senior Brother Changbian shouted, and the young man’s body hair stood on end.

The female ghost’s sharp claws lunged at the young man’s chest. He intended to dodge, but suddenly, a chilling energy appeared beside him, rendering him immobile.

Thump—

The ghost’s claws pierced the young man’s shoulder. If not for Senior Brother Changbian’s timely intervention, it might have pierced his heart and killed him on the spot.

“Junior brother!”

The young man clutched his wound, gasping for breath.

“I’m okay, senior brother, be careful. We underestimated this female ghost.”

Senior Brother Changbian nodded and rushed forward again, exchanging blows with the female ghost.

The female ghost seemed to be drawn to Xia Han, madly rushing toward him.

Senior Brother Changbian alone was bound to have lapses.

Xia Han saw the female ghost rushing over and instinctively tried to dodge, but this ghost was different from those he had encountered before, and he was caught after only a few steps.

The female ghost looked at him greedily.

How delicious!

How delicious…

“Don’t touch him.”

A pale hand interjected, the fingertips gently against the female ghost, and with a flick backwards, Xia Han broke free from the female ghost’s grip.

The female ghost glanced at her unwillingly and snarled, “Next time I catch him, I won’t give you any face.”

The female ghost turned to deal with Senior Brother Changbian.

Chuzheng pulled Xia Han out of the room.

“Little Beauty, you saved me again,” Xia Han was not the least bit frightened by the narrow escape, but was instead excited.

“They told you to lure the ghost, and you just went?” Did a ghost eat your brain?

“I grew up on Taokong Mountain; although they weren’t very nice to me, they did feed me,” Xia Han said lightly.

If he didn’t listen to them…

Where else could he go?

Perhaps if Taokong Mountain hadn’t taken him in, his parents would have gotten rid of him directly?

Chuzheng: “…” Just let him turn to the dark side!

“Little Beauty, are you angry?” Xia Han moved close to Chuzheng, curiously asking, “Is it because of me?”

“No.” Why would I be angry about a Good Person Card.

Someone was coming over, and Chuzheng pulled Xia Han to hide in a dark corner.

Pressing close to Chuzheng’s body, Xia Han only felt a chilling cold infiltrating his body, as if his bones were freezing.

He exhaled a slight breath, word by word, he said, “When I’ve saved enough money, I will leave Taokong Mountain.”

“How much money have you saved?”

“Erm…” Xia Han thought about his savings, feeling somewhat embarrassed: “That is…”

Taokong Mountain provided for all his meals and needs, and whenever he left the mountain, the senior brothers were with him, so he hardly got his hands on much money.

He didn’t have the skill to catch ghosts, so saving enough money was even harder than ascending to heaven.

“You’ll end up dead at their hands sooner or later.” Chuzheng mercilessly poked at his wound.

Xia Han fell silent for a few seconds, then murmured, “Little Beauty, if I died, could I be with you then?”

“You couldn’t.”

“Why not?”

Chuzheng with an indifferent face said, “You have no money.”

Xia Han did not understand: “Do you also need money to be a ghost?”

Chuzheng: “Without money, you can’t stay in the world of the living, you either reincarnate or descend to Hell.”

Xia Han: “…”

Xia Han felt the coldness leaving his body, and when he looked up, Chuzheng was already drifting outward.

“Little Beauty…” Xia Han chased after her, but once outside where there were more people, he immediately fell silent.

“This little brother looks unfamiliar, who brought him here?” A finely dressed woman blocked his path.

“Uninvited.” Having learned to talk his way through situations at Taokong Mountain, Xia Han said with a smile, “Sister, you are really beautiful.”

“What sweet talk.” The woman laughed directly, amused by the compliment.

“Then can Sister make way please? My girlfriend is getting angry.”

“Oh, you have a girlfriend?” The woman raised her eyebrows.

“I do.” The boy seriously nodded: “She would be unhappy if I talked with such a beautiful sister.”

The boy looked really young, and the woman was just teasing him, meaning no harm.

Hearing this, she stepped aside: “Go ahead then, girls just need a little appeasement.”

The boy dashed into the crowd like a wisp of smoke.

The woman stood in place, sipping a glass of red wine.

“Sister, who was that boy who just talked to you?”

“Don’t know him,” the woman said: “What about it?”

“He’s quite handsome…”

“Come on, he has a girlfriend.”

“Goodness, even boys so young have girlfriends now.”

“Certainly… At this age, it’s the perfect time to be in love,” the woman said with a smile.

“When are you going to get a boyfriend?”

The woman shook her head helplessly: “I haven’t met the right person.”

“With the folks in this circle lining up to choose from, you still haven’t found the right one? I think it’s because your standards are too high.”

The woman took a sip of wine, and pulled her friend towards the dance floor.

–

Xia Han caught up with Chuzheng and found her staring at a man.

“Little Beauty, what are you looking at?” Xia Han asked her in a low voice.

Chuzheng turned back: “Why are you following me?”

“…Can’t I follow you?” Xia Han blinked: “I like being with you.”

“Then do you think I’m a good person?”

“You are.” The boy nodded without hesitation, his expression very serious.

“…” Little liar.

Chuzheng didn’t want to deal with this little liar, so she drifted behind Murong Yi, and Xia Han couldn’t go there, as it would seem too bizarre, so he could only stand in the crowd watching her.

Chuzheng did something, and the man pulled out his phone for a glance, then as if he had seen a ghost, moved abruptly and fell to the ground with a start.

The people around were startled.

Someone wanted to come forward to help him up, but were brushed off by Murong Yi.

He looked around in panic, stumbling as he ran off.
