Ghost Catching System-Chapter 520 - 519: Great Immortal, I Was Wrong_1

Sword Star Lord swallowed hard, his heart on the verge of collapsing.

With clasped hands, Sword Star Lord said, "Great Immortal Bai Gu, I had no idea the lad was one of your people. Please forgive my offense. I'll leave this instant and never appear before you again."

Chu Hao immediately protested, "You can't let him go! Look what he has done. My arms and legs are all bruised; it's all his doing."

As he spoke, Chu Hao even rolled up his trousers. He had used the Divine Traveling Talisman and, although he ran at ten times his normal speed, it had exceeded the limits of his physique. His legs were swollen and now throbbed painfully, making him tremble as he walked.

"DING… Host shamelessly showing off, received 1,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Dammit!! Sword Star Lord nearly vomited blood. I've been the unlucky one all day, and I haven't even complained yet! Now this brat has the gall to accuse me first! It's utterly disgusting!

Bai Ling said coldly, "Little Shark, it seems you've given my subordinate quite a rough time."

Sword Star Lord hastily replied, "Great Immortal Bai Gu, please hear me out! I didn't do anything to him! This kid, he…"

Chu Hao countered, "You haven't done anything to me? I fled from the Yin Realm to the Yang Realm, and you still wouldn't let me go. If Sister Bai Ling hadn't been here today, wouldn't you have eaten me by now?"

"I... I!!" Sword Star Lord's body shook violently, overwhelmed with anger.

When you beat me to a pulp, nobody was there to judge right from wrong for me!

Bai Ling said icily, "It seems I've been secluded from the mortal world for too long. It was one thing for King Chu Jiang to act as he did back then. But even after I killed hundreds of his subordinates, what could he ultimately do? Didn't he still have to meekly scurry back to the Underworld?"

Sword Star Lord's breathing became rapid; he knew all of this was true.

Chu Hao's jaw dropped in shock. To be hunted by King Chu Jiang and still manage to kill his pursuers? How incredibly fierce was she?

Bai Ling continued, "And what are you in comparison? If I kill you now and King Chu Jiang dares to come after me, we can settle the old scores as well."

Sword Star Lord wanted to cry, deeply regretting his actions. If the Great Immortal Bai Gu had been here, I wouldn't have dared to pursue him even if I had a hundred times the courage.

The Great Immortal Bai Gu was a fearsome being, renowned in the realm back in those days. Sword Star Lord wasn't yet a Jail Master then, just a Little Shark following an actual Jail Master. He had once seen Great Immortal Bai Gu, and at that time, his superior, that Jail Master, was also terrified of Bai Ling.

Not to mention Yanjun King Chu Jiang, who had underestimated Bai Ling back then. For this, he suffered a considerable loss and was deeply humiliated. This personage was truly formidable.

Drenched in cold sweat, Sword Star Lord desperately clasped his hands together, pleading, "Great Immortal, I... I was wrong. Please spare my life."

Bai Ling turned to Chu Hao and asked, "How would you like to handle him?"

Chu Hao was thrilled; it was an unexpected delight. He stroked his chin and suggested, "Sister Bai Ling, didn't you say you were hungry? Shark fins are quite delicious."

Sword Star Lord's body trembled. He was truly in despair, terrified to the extreme. I, the mighty Little Prison Warden of Small Hell, can't end up as someone else's food!

Bai Ling waved her hand. "I don't fancy shark fins."

She looked at Sword Star Lord and said, "Leave something behind to compensate my little servant."

"Yes, yes."

Without any hesitation, Sword Star Lord opened his mouth, and a pure black pearl fell into his hand, which he respectfully handed over.

Bai Ling took the pearl and said contentedly, "You do know your place. Now, get lost."

Sword Star Lord turned and fled, wishing he could grow eight legs to escape this dreadful place faster.

Watching Sword Star Lord leave, Chu Hao sighed slightly. Too bad they couldn't keep him.

Bai Ling could tell what Chu Hao was thinking and said, "Kid, you're not really thinking of killing him, are you?"

Chu Hao gesticulated wildly. "Can't I? He chased me so relentlessly! Sister Bai Ling, you don't know, my legs are all swollen… It's just too miserable!"

If Sword Star Lord were still around, he would have coughed up blood, thinking, "How is it miserable for you when I'm the one who was chasing you? I'm the one who's miserable!"

Bai Ling waved her hand. "The Little Prison Warden is still a Jail Master, after all. If you truly killed him, the Underworld would send someone, and then you'd really suffer."

Chu Hao flattered, "But aren't you here?"

Bai Ling spoke at a leisurely pace, "If I still possessed my former strength, what would it matter if I killed him?"

Chu Hao pondered. Bai Ling had been sealed for so long that her strength had waned somewhat. Even though she had obtained the Ancestral Bone, she had yet to fully recover.

Chu Hao looked at the black pearl in Bai Ling's hand. That thing must be a treasure; otherwise, Sword Star Lord wouldn't have been so pained to part with it. It could probably be exchanged for a lot of Pretentiousness Points!

Excitedly looking at the black pearl, Chu Hao said, "Sister Bai Ling, is that for me? Tsk, tsk… you're so good to me."

Bai Ling replied coldly, "Are you dreaming?"

Chu Hao was at a loss for words.

Bai Ling looked at the black pearl and smiled faintly. "This is a Life Soul Pearl, equivalent to half of his life."

Chu Hao swallowed hard. "Can I take a look at it?"

Bai Ling tossed it over. Chu Hao caught the black pearl, and immediately, the System pinged with a notification.

"High-grade soul pearl, can be exchanged for one hundred thousand Pretentiousness Points."

One hundred thousand! It's actually one hundred thousand! Oh my God!

Chu Hao gaped, speechless. If I exchanged this soul pearl, wouldn't I become instantly rich?

Chu Hao looked at Bai Ling with a pitiful expression. "Sister Bai Ling, look how miserably I was chased. Could you consider this pearl as compensation for me, please?"

Bai Ling raised her hand, and the black pearl returned to her delicate palm. She turned and walked away, saying, "If it weren't for me, you would have been captured already. Remember, you owe me a favor."

Watching the black pearl move further and further away, Chu Hao's heart ached.

At the same time, he began to realize the wealth of the Underworld experts. If I robbed just one or two of them, couldn't I easily become filthy rich?

Of course, he was getting ahead of himself. Robbing a Jail Master? Let alone killing one? That was incredibly difficult. It was only due to Bai Ling's reputation that things had even progressed this far.

Back at the mansion, there were plenty of servants. Bai Ling had now thoroughly taken over as the master of the mansion, much to Chu Hao's dismay. After all, it's my mansion! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Inside the mansion, he encountered Wang Qing again. In Chu Hao's absence, Bai Ling had been ordering him around, and he had practically become the second butler.

Wang Qing must have seen Sword Star Lord's appearance. He asked, "Master Chu, what was that thing just now?"

From a distance, Wang Qing could see the Ghost Qi emanating from that monster. It was truly terrifying.

Chu Hao said grumpily, "What do you think it was?"

Wang Qing shook his head. If I knew, would I even need to ask?

Chu Hao waved his hand. His legs hurt so much that he could hardly walk. He said, "That was a Jail Master from Hell. Now you see how formidable Great Immortal Bai Gu is, right? If you people from the Seventh District don't want to die, you better not send anyone here. As long as she's here, she probably won't kill without reason."

Chu Hao left, Wang Qing still in a daze.

A Jail Master from the Underworld! Holy smokes, that's some big shot!
