chapter 18
That’s right, the figure in the room was none other than the Blood-clad Ghost who had previously committed murder at Baoxiang Temple.
Staring at the blood-red silhouette in the room, its sinister face meeting his gaze, Li Yi couldn’t help but swallow hard.
This was really nerve-wracking and absurd.
Coming home in high spirits, only to open the door and find a Blood-clad Ghost standing in his house-who wouldn’t be shocked by that?
It was as if surprise itself had opened the door-shock had truly come home.
But for him, it was something special. The Blood-clad Ghost had come home.
And not just any Blood-clad Ghost.
This was an existence that could wipe out a city at will, standing face-to-face with him, just a step away.
Compared to his current predicament, all those supposedly thrilling experiences he’d had before now felt utterly bland.
What should I do? I came home to find a Fierce Ghost waiting for me-answers needed urgently.
[“Ding. After completing your live streaming task, you return home.
But you discover a terrifying Blood-clad Ghost has been waiting in your house for a while. You decide to…”
“1. Draw your fifty-meter-long Great Sword and go for it. Reward: Pure Gold Tombstone. With this tombstone, the soul of the deceased will rest in eternal peace.”
“2. Drop your pants and use your manly charms to conquer the Blood-clad Ghost before you. Reward: Indomitable Gold Pill, allowing the deceased to remain as hard as iron even in soul form.”
“3. Sincerely, with an appreciative tone, tell the Blood-clad Ghost before you: ‘You are truly beautiful.’ Reward: Ghost-Repelling Candle. While the candle burns, no Fierce Ghost can harm you.”]
Here we go again.
Li Yi stared at the familiar three options, a look of utter frustration on his face.
Did he really have a choice? The first two were basically telling him how to become a successful Ghost.
The only one left seemed rather odd-flirting with a Blood-clad Ghost? Was he sure he wouldn’t be killed on the spot?
[“Ding. Host is detected to be involved in a supernatural event. Live Streaming Room will open automatically.”]
Before, when no one was watching, it didn’t matter. Now, great-the Live Streaming Room was being activated for him.
Li Yi immediately felt the sting of social death, but with his thick skin, he quickly regained his composure.
“Ahem…”
He cleared his throat.
[“Such dazzling light-damn, what’s going on? What happened? Why can’t I see anything? Oh, it turns out the Streamer King is live again.”]
[“Why is the Streamer live again? Did he run into a ghost again?”]
After watching Li Yi’s streams all day, the viewers in the Live Streaming Room were thoroughly convinced-never had they seen such a brazen Spirit Binder.
Others risked their lives exorcising ghosts, escaping death by a hair’s breadth every time. Only Li Yi charged ahead with fire and lightning; every Fierce Ghost he targeted was struck by five thunderbolts.
That’s how he earned his title as the Thunder Law King.
[“Wait, isn’t this Blood-clad Ghost the same one from before?”]
Some viewers recognized the Female Ghost on the screen, and the chat instantly erupted.
A Blood-clad Ghost-an event considered unsolvable, one that even the top Spirit Binders would rather avoid.
Did the Streamer really get tangled up with a Blood-clad?
“I choose three.”
Helpless, Li Yi realized there was really only one option among the three. He cleared his throat, his gaze suddenly growing deeper, and his fingers gently brushed the Blood-clad Ghost’s hair in front of him.
Li Yi’s sudden move instantly made the Blood-clad Ghost before him feel offended.
Her blood-soaked robe rippled in an unfelt wind, and her long hair flew wildly.
Even the air around them grew a shade colder.
It was so silent, it felt as if time itself had stopped.
Clearly, Li Yi’s action had provoked the Blood-clad Ghost.
“You’re really beautiful.”
The buildup was almost complete-Li Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say a cheesy pickup line that even made his own scalp tingle.
You’re really beautiful?
System, it’s a good thing you’re not human. With pick-up lines like this, you’d be single for life.
Let alone this woman being a Blood-clad Ghost-even a regular woman would probably be speechless at that.
The Live Streaming Room fell silent for a moment, then-
[“Streamer, are you actually an Evil Ghost obsessed with pretty girls?”]
[“I can’t! A Blood-clad Ghost shows up, and our Streamer isn’t fazed-he just goes straight for the hard flirt!”]
The comments in the Live Streaming Room exploded with laughter-after all, they weren’t the ones meeting a ghost.
But what happened next was something no one expected. After hearing Li Yi’s words, the Blood-clad Ghost actually seemed flustered.
Li Yi wasn’t sure if he was seeing things, but he could almost spot the ghost’s grayish-white pupils shrinking beneath her hair.
A hint of blush even appeared on her pale, expressionless cheeks.
There’s hope.
Seeing the Blood-clad Ghost’s reaction, Li Yi instantly made up his mind.
This ghost could be wooed.
“I think I’ve already fallen for you, completely and uncontrollably.”
“Miss, pardon me for asking, but… may I step into your world?”
Li Yi gave his brightest, sunniest smile and offered a hand of friendship to the Blood-clad Ghost before him.
Turns out, as long as it’s a woman-alive or dead-sweet talk always works.
Of course, his Eddie Peng-level good looks might have helped.
That’s how he ended up with this result.
The so-called unstoppable Blood-clad Ghost, in this moment, looked like she’d just met her dream man, and all her terrifying aura faded away.
Even her skin became smooth and rosy, like a living person.
Now, standing in front of Li Yi, she looked just like a normal girl in a red dress.
She even seemed a little shy, not daring to meet Li Yi’s gaze.
[“How the hell-am I losing it? Guys, please tell me I’m not the only one seeing this!”]
[“Isn’t this supposed to be the world’s scariest Blood-clad, the one who could wipe out a nation? How did the Streamer win her over with just a few words?”]
[“So this is the world of Masters? Is this really how you exorcise ghosts?”]
The comments were all jokes and complaints. What kind of Streamer were they following-a bug-exploiting master?
The Blood-clad Ghost knocks on his door and he gets the neighbor to take the blame.
He finds the Blood-clad’s Life-for-Money and just gives it to the Buddha.
And now, right in front of their eyes, he’s flirting with a Blood-clad Ghost.
When did the world get this crazy?
“Brothers, those who copy me may survive, but those who only imitate me will perish. If you aren’t as handsome as I am, I suggest you don’t try what I just did.”
Seeing the flood of bullet comments, Li Yi kindly reminded everyone.
