Chapter 305: 305: Absorbing Yin Ghost Formation
"Whoosh—"
Suddenly, something darted past everyone.
"God, did you feel something?" Xiao Ning whispered sneakily.
Jiang Nuo shook his head, "I haven’t been cultivating for long, so I’m not very sensitive to these things."
"God, you really need to work hard; otherwise, you’ll be too far from the Goddess!" Xiao Ning couldn’t understand how the senior uncle, the international superstar who had just entered the cultivation world, and he got together.
Originally, it seemed they were a good match. Even if they had a big age gap, it didn’t matter; as long as they were happy. But now it’s different. When the Goddess becomes a very powerful cultivator, the distance between her and the God becomes a bit far. If the God doesn’t work hard...
Xiao Ning also didn’t know how far this relationship could go.
Suddenly, she hesitated. What if one day, the God and Goddess couldn’t be together, then what?
Bang—
Jiang Nuo felt a hand place itself on his shoulder. He knew very well that Xiao Ning was on his left, Gong Leitian, Lao Qi, and Lao Jiu were walking in front, and Qing Daojun was at the back, so the hand on his right was obviously not human.
Jiang Nuo remained calm, recited a ghost repelling mantra, and slapped a piece of advanced "Ghost Repellent Charm" onto his right shoulder.
As a result, he slapped a fake hand.
Turns out, the ghost knew there were people around him, saw he was a newcomer, and found a fake hand to play a prank on him.
A group of ghosts laughed wildly in the dark.
"God, are you okay?" Xiao Ning looked at the advanced "Ghost Repellent Charm" with a pained heart. Just now she said he wasn’t sensitive enough, and now, he directly wasted one of these.
Wuwuwu... If she had that one, who knows how many disobedient evil ghosts she could have eliminated during her tasks?
Everyone else wanted to laugh. Ghosts love bullying newbies; it’s not surprising. Even if Jiang Nuo is the grandmaster of the department head, he’s no exception.
Gong Leitian ignored Lao Jiu’s mocking expression and said, "Grandmaster, you can use these advanced talisman papers as you like. If you run out, you can ask the senior uncle to draw more for you. She has so many good things that you can squander them for lifetimes."
Jiang Nuo was conflicted: might as well not comfort me! It makes him seem very "prodigal," though he really wants to rely on his backing to squander hard.
The originally laughing Lao Jiu suddenly remembered: It’s said that the woman of the department head’s grandmaster is already a Golden Core Stage expert. Last time, the department’s benefits were merely things that slipped through her fingers.
Dammit! Such a rich person here, and he didn’t know to hug a big thigh, is he blind?
Lao Jiu immediately changed his attitude, hurriedly ran to Jiang Nuo’s side, and flatteringly said: "Hehehe... Jiang Bro, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. The first time I did a task, I was more ashamed than you. I was tricked by a ghost into losing my innocence, not to mention losing my heart..."
Jiang Nuo widened his eyes: "You slept with a ghost? A female ghost, male ghost?"
Xiao Ning burst into laughter: Hahaha... Stinky Lao Jiu, besides the head, finally someone can control you!
Is this the point to note? Lao Jiu’s face stiffened and said: "Jiang Bro, can we not mention this? I’m already ashamed. If Lao Qi hadn’t woken me up later, I might have been sucked dry by that female ghost. So, I’m telling you, be careful whenever you encounter a beautiful woman. She might be a demon or female ghost that specializes in absorbing human essence..."
"You think God is like you?" Xiao Ning sneered.
"I’m talking to Jiang Bro, why are you interjecting?"
Xiao Ning pouted, too lazy to bother with Lao Jiu.
Lao Jiu wanted to say something, but Gong Leitian walking in front was unhappy: "Are you here to do a task or to chat?"
So, neither Lao Jiu nor Xiao Ning said a word.
Jiang Nuo found these two a bit amusing. They’re both talkative. After the task ends, he should get their phone numbers to learn more about the cultivation world.
Walking along, Lao Jiu accidentally tripped over a pit and hadn’t gotten up when he discovered a ghostly face right in front of him.
Without a word, he took out his magic artifact, the Eight Diagrams Plate, and chanted a spell.
[Thud—]
The owner of the ghost face evaded quickly, shrinking like an arrow underneath, passed between Lao Jiu’s legs, and shot swiftly backward.
"Be careful behind!"
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Ning pulled out a long whip, reciting a mantra, and struck towards the ghost face.
The ghost face blocked with a sleeve, split into two, one intertwining with Xiao Ning, and the other lunging towards Jiang Nuo.
The Qing Daojun behind Jiang Nuo, knowing he lacked battle experience, directly took out his magic artifact, the Peach Wood Sword, recited a mantra, and swung it, sending a string of sword flowers towards the second ghost face.
Soon after, an overwhelming wave of ghosts attacked them.
Qing Daojun was dealing with the second ghost face when a headless ghost appeared behind him, extending long arms to grab at him.
Facing two enemies, Qing Daojun was unfazed, wielding his Peach Wood Sword with flair, its virtual shadow shifting left and right, tightly protecting himself.
Lao Qi was entangled by a little child ghost, who was giggling, playing hide and seek. One moment appearing on Lao Qi’s head, the next between his legs, or poking his back.
Lao Qi, being very tall and less nimble than others, got a bit dizzy. In anger, he directly wielded his big copper hammer ruthlessly towards the little ghost.
With that smash, a hole appeared on the ground, instantly like stirring a wasp’s nest, hundreds of roaches crawled up, densely packed, sending chills down one’s back.
"Ah... bugs!" Xiao Ning screamed.
She’s not afraid of anything else, just these disgusting little bugs!
If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she nearly got pierced in the chest by one of the ghost faces.
Although Lao Jiu usually acts casually, he’s very skilled. Using the Eight Diagrams Plate, he covered himself with a layer of protective armor, glowing with golden light.
The newly appeared alluring female ghost couldn’t do anything to him, so she created several ghost shadows. Even if she couldn’t hurt him temporarily, she aimed to frustrate him and drive him mad.
Erotic songs and seductive dances are the female ghost’s forte, plucking pipa, playing erhu, dancing, singing... the same face performing all sorts of coquettish poses just to entice you.
Having been duped once, there’s no way Lao Jiu would fall for it again. Chanting a mantra, he shot a light orb, shattering one of the female ghost’s apparition clones.
Among everyone, Gong Leitian was the busiest, not only having to assist others but also preventing new ghosts from sneak attacks, and simultaneously battling the lead ghost.
The lead ghost had three heads. In life, he probably was a cultivator, but something went wrong during cultivation, turning into such a ghostly form. Later, he fell into the evil path’s hands, becoming a pawn.
