Chapter 75: The Price of Boastfulness

  "It's simple, just loudly say you're an idiot and we won't pursue the matter?" The young girl, Xiao Yan, said with a soft laugh.

  Guo Ming's expression didn't change, he walked step by step towards Xiao Yan, "What if I say no?"

  "So I guarantee you will pay for your actions today, Little Swallow said fearlessly." She didn't believe that Guo Ming would dare to hit her in public, she had this confidence, although she wasn't a beauty, but absolutely not ugly either, she didn't think the other party would be ruthless enough to destroy a flower.

  Guo Ming walked up to her and said in a low voice, "I'm warning you for the last time, always leave some room for maneuver, otherwise one day you will suffer the consequences."

  "Are you trying to educate me? Xiaoyan said disdainfully, 'My parents can't even ask me questions, what are you?' "

  This is the shortcoming of China's reform and opening up, some girls are infatuated with so-called Korean wave and Japanese wave. From clothes to hairstyles, everything is imitated in a uniform way, abandoning the subtlety of Eastern women and tearing off the civilized and introverted outerwear.

  Guo Ming caught a glimpse of a scorpion tattoo on the girl's chest, and with his keen eyesight, he naturally understood that it wasn't just stuck on, but was actually pierced into her skin. Alas, as the ancient saying goes, "The body's hair and skin are given by one's parents." Although this phrase is somewhat extreme, one still can't treat their own body like this. Does having a scorpion tattoo really make you strong and invincible? How ridiculous! Guo Ming sneered coldly: "At night, you'll run into ghosts."

  Xiao Yan was taken aback, then burst out laughing: "A ghost? Can there be ghosts in this world? Call one out for me."

  Guo Ming did not continue arguing with her and was about to leave by crossing over her body.

  The girl smiled and stretched out her right hand to block Guo Ming's path, with a sly glint in her eyes. "You seem to have forgotten something?"

  Guo Ming looked into the eyes of the young girl, who gazed back at him without any fear. Guo Ming withdrew his gaze and reached out to grasp her jade-like hand. Xiao Yan's face changed color as she hadn't expected Guo Ming to dare hold her hand in public. Her pretty face flashed with a blush, but more so with annoyance. She raised her foot for a kick, but Guo Ming let out a light laugh and dodged far away, then pushed through the crowd and left without looking back.

  "You son of a bitch, I won't let you off, just wait, Little Yan shouted loudly."

  A loud noise echoed around, and everyone was stunned at first. Then all eyes turned to the little girl.

  Xiao Yan's face turned bright red, and she lowered her head, unsure of what to do for a moment. She never thought that today, while guarding so many people, she would receive such a grand gift - a heavy-duty smoke bomb! The other two girls rushed forward, one whispering, "What did you do? Did you eat too much sweet potato?"

  "What's wrong? I didn't eat anything," said Xiaoyan in a low voice. "Don't say anything else, let's just go quickly, I'm too ashamed to see anyone."

  Just as she said that, a strong stimulus suddenly spread throughout her body, and another heavy smoke bomb was sprayed out. Xiaoyan stood still on the spot, and her two dead parties, who were also strong in fighting ability, covered their noses and left far away.

  The people around gradually burst out laughing, and the tears of grievance rolled in Xiaoyan's eyes and finally flowed down. Xiaoyan cried and ran quickly to a distant place. Her two best friends looked at each other and hurriedly chased after her.

  Shui Mengyao watched as the figures of several people disappeared into the distance, and let out a soft sigh. He was still so petty, not allowing himself to get hurt even a little bit? But wasn't she exactly fond of this kind of person? Not taking the initiative to provoke trouble, but also absolutely not afraid of anyone causing trouble.

  The person has gone far away, is it that one's own fate has come to an end like this? Shui Mengyao muttered to herself, no one could give her an answer.

  Guo Ming did not use his divine consciousness to watch Xiao Yan's miserable state. For him, he was here to experience life, and it was better to put away his own magical powers. This was also the reason why he did not strike Zhu Rui with lightning speed. To seek tranquility, one must learn to be low-key. But how could he feel that his future life would not be low-key?

  Hehe, Guo Ming smiled casually, this kind of life is meaningful, he never feared any challenges. If someone dared to challenge him, then he would take it on.

  Today he didn't plan to attend classes, he just wanted to take a casual look at the school, and have a good look at this school that was once his childhood dream. Two years ago, No. 1 Middle School was absolutely his luxury, but today he had already set foot in it.

  The sign in front indicates Donghu and Taihe Hall, Guo Mingshen walks towards Donghu.

  He still knew some allusions about Donghu, and it was said that during the National Government period, a general was stationed here, and after the defeat, he jumped into the lake, so the lake was also called General Lake. I wonder if there is still the ghost of that general inside, Guo Ming thought with a smile.

  There are legends and folk tales, according to some locals it's best not to get close to this lake. The lake is very eerie, every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month a large amount of yin energy emerges, as humans are yang in nature, coming into contact with yin energy can cause illness. Additionally, some people inexplicably commit suicide on those days.

  Of course, Guo Ming did not know if it was true or not, he just went to take a look, and even if there really were evil spirits, he would have taken them down with ease.

  From a distance, Guo Ming saw a girl standing by the lake, stretching her head to look down at the lake, seemingly curious and a little afraid, she took a peek and immediately pulled back.

  Su Chen is a high school student in her second year. She has always believed that there are ghosts in this world, because she once saw with her own eyes a human head flying by in mid-air. When she screamed loudly, she felt someone tapping on herself, and when she opened her eyes to take a look, she fainted directly after rolling her eyes.

  That scene she would never forget, a pale dead man's head with two front teeth that seemed to be about to fall out at any moment, laughing loudly at her. Just thinking about it made her feel cold all around. She tightened her clothes and looked around cautiously, then muttered in a low voice: "Damn it, where is the ghost here?"

  Having had that mysterious experience, Su Chen was both shocked and delighted. Shocked because he saw a ghost and almost got scared to death. Delighted because among the countless people, how many have had an experience like his? Isn't today's mainstream media promoting atheism? Well, then you tell me, how do you explain what I saw that day?

  The girl was a person who couldn't keep secrets, she told her own secrets from junior high school to high school, but no one believed her. This almost killed her, and for this reason, she even ventured into the haunted house alone, only to be scared away by a meowing cat.

  Today she was hit again, the reason is that the teacher's topic today is 'Is there a ghost in the world', as soon as Su Chen heard this topic, she felt it was her time to show off, so she raised her hand first and added oil and vinegar to tell her experience.

  Then she saw everyone's eyes filled with longing and curiosity, her vanity was strongly satisfied. But with a boy's loud laughter, the whole classroom immediately boiled over, even the teacher at that time couldn't help but laugh so hard that he bent his waist, pointing at Su Chen and saying: "This classmate, I believe you can write your experience into an article and send it to a magazine company, maybe someone will want it." Then he himself continued laughing.

  Being misunderstood is very painful, especially when you have the truth in your hands. She made up her mind to find a ghost and let everyone see it clearly, so she came to Donghu resolutely.

  It's actually very quiet here, and students generally won't come here. They don't necessarily believe there are ghosts here, but after all, some people have died here before, and it's indeed scary to come here alone. Su Chen is also quite brave, if another girl were asked to come here alone, they would rather die than do it.

  Su Chen continued to explore the terrain and softly said towards the lake surface: "Ghost Sir, can you help me with something?"

  No one answered.

  "I don't want you to help me for free, I have a reward. Su Chen saw that the other party didn't react, so he hastily took out a 10-yuan RMB note from his pocket and shook it, saying, 'How about this? As long as you help me do one thing, this money is yours.'"

  Guo Ming almost fainted, and negotiating with a ghost was already astonishing enough. And don't even get him started on using renminbi - they're dead people, how can they use the money of the living? Isn't this just a joke?

  "Not enough? How about these?" Su Chen pulled out two more 10-yuan bills from his pocket, waving them triumphantly. "This is all I have, my entire fortune! What do you say? Will you consider it?"

  Only a fool would consider it, Guo Ming muttered to himself as he walked directly onto the bridge. He thought it was necessary to educate this girl a bit. If you want to seduce a ghost, shouldn't you at least have some technical skills? You should at least draw a circle on the ground and buy some hell money to burn in a basin!

  Drawing a circle is to define an area, proving that this money is for him, rather than for some wandering ghosts.

  The girl shouted a few times, seeing no response, she poked her head out and looked at the calm water surface. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly said: "Mr. Ghost, your courage is really small, do you know where I am now? I'm above your head! Don't you feel suffocated, aren't you angry?"

  No sooner had the girl spoken than she found that a patch of water in her line of sight began to bubble up.

  "Bubbles? You spoke, haha, but I couldn't understand what you said! If you're a man, speak in a language that I can understand!" Su Chen exclaimed with great surprise.

  Kuo Ming quickly walked to her side, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks. She looked up, patted her forehead, and felt speechless. Oh my god, isn't that a surge of underground energy?

  The girl seemed to have no such awareness, still talking endlessly and despising the so-called ghost Mr., her body getting lower and lower, while the bubbles on the lake surface were rising faster and faster.

  "It seems like something is going to come out, Su Chen laughed, you finally came out? She felt that today was her most successful day, it had been a long time since she had such a sense of accomplishment, she was really too talented, it seemed that the ghost's IQ wasn't very high. Hmm, right, I heard ghosts are very scary."

  "Right, if you're a ghost, then make yourself look more handsome, got it? Su Chen was shocked by her own intelligence, noticing such small details herself. In fact, the outside world had always said that Yizhong was the cradle of talented young men, but she thought to herself that since she was a person from Yizhong and female, it should naturally be the cradle of talented young women."

  Soon she saw a pale face, and Su Chen fell down with a thud.
