Chapter 77: The Appearance of the Corpse

  "What's with the question? You wouldn't think I'd kiss you, would you?" Guo Ming chuckled and met her gaze head-on, completely disregarding her fiery stare.

  "Hurry up and dry your clothes, you'll catch a cold if you keep wearing them like that," Guo Ming said softly.

  Su Qing was about to get angry, but the other person's next sentence was filled with genuine concern and affection, leaving her unable to speak out, and could only hum a sound of frustration.

  The fire was really warm, and the water on her clothes slowly evaporated, but the inside of her underwear was still unable to dry. This half-wet feeling was really uncomfortable. Su Qing wanted to get closer to the fire, but the intense heat made her give up that idea.

  She pulled at her clothes, wanting to get some distance from him. Guo Ming, on the other hand, seemed completely unaffected and simply stared into the fire in quiet contemplation. Su Qing couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? What grade are you in?"

  "Senior high school student Guo Ming, and you?"

  "You're a sophomore, how come I've never seen you before? I'm also a sophomore, I'm Su Qing," Su Qing said in surprise. How could she be one of the school's top beauties, and even the student council member, who has been in contact with countless students.

  "I'm very low-key," Guo Ming said with a smile, "I'm thinking now, does what you just said count or not?"

  "What did you say? Su Qing was taken aback and blurted out. Soon her face was filled with red clouds, and she angrily said, 'You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?'"

  Guo Ming smiled and shook his head, saying: "I'm a person who doesn't get up early without profit, it seems that this time I'll have to make a loss."

  "It's not necessarily so, kid. If you help me with something, I can make her agree," a cold voice came over.

  Su Qing followed her gaze, her brain paused, and then a sharp cry came out of her small mouth. She was so scared that she fell to the ground, then hid behind Guo Ming without thinking, pointing at the corpse opposite her in horror: "Ghost, ghost."

  Guo Ming curled his lip and thought to himself, "I saw that a long time ago. They were crawling out of the water, but you didn't realize it until they got right next to you. What a genius."

  A sharp pain shot through his arm, and Guo Ming took a deep breath of cold air, hastily saying: "Don't grab me so hard, I'm bleeding."

  "Ghost, ghost, what's going on? Su Qing doesn't care about these things now, and just says whatever she wants."

  "Isn't he the one you called? Now that he's here, go and get close to him, okay?" Guo Ming said with a chuckle.

  Perhaps it was Guo Ming's calmness that infected her, or perhaps the other person's inaction made her feel at ease, Su Qing slowly loosened her grip on Guo Ming's hand, only to tightly grasp his clothes. Guo Ming believed that once she discovered anything wrong, these hands would immediately tighten again, and the force would be no less intense.

  "Mr. Ghost, please sit down," Guo Ming said with a gentle smile and a beckoning gesture.

  That mummy unexpectedly glanced at Guo Ming and sat down. However, he still couldn't help but say: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

  Su Qing's beautiful eyes also looked at Guo Ming, and he too wanted to know the answer to this question.

  "Why aren't you afraid of me?" Guo Ming asked back.

  "Because I am a ghost."

  "What's with the ghost? I'm still human, aren't I?" Guo Ming rolled his eyes and said gruffly.

  This reason made Su Qing's face sweat, and she looked at Guo Ming with a worshiping gaze. He was really powerful, at least she didn't dare to say such intimidating words. Due to her piercing gaze, even Guo Ming strongly felt it. However, just as Guo Ming was about to say some humble words, he discovered that the other person's eyes had another layer of meaning, and that gaze was clearly looking at an idiot. His face immediately fell.

  The ghost opposite was also stunned, and after a moment shook his head and said: "It seems I didn't misjudge you, you are indeed suitable to be my host body."

  "Parasite? What do you mean?" Guo Mingqi said. "Hmph, even if I agree, I reckon you wouldn't dare."

  "It's simple, I'll just lodge my soul in your body. Seeing the unwilling expression on his face, he hastily said, don't worry, this won't have any effect on you, I'm just temporarily staying here. And as compensation, I can help you with some things you couldn't accomplish before. For example, that beautiful woman over there, I can make her follow you devotedly, that ghostly path."

  Su Qing was startled and subconsciously wanted to let go of Guo Ming's hand, but after hesitating for a moment, she still chose to hold onto his sleeve, ultimately deciding to trust Guo Ming.

  "Firstly, I don't believe you. Ghosts are just inanimate objects and have no effect on my body. Are you trying to deceive me? Secondly, the girl you mentioned, we only met briefly and there's no emotional connection between us. I would never ask a girl to do something against her will. Mr. Ghost, since you're not sincere, please leave then?" Guo Ming stretched out his hand, indicating that he could leave.

  That desiccated corpse's face flashed with anger as he furiously said, "You little brat, you'd better know your place, otherwise I won't mind killing you."

  "Haha, kill me if you can! You come on!" Guo Ming's face turned cold as he stood up from the ground and strode towards him.

  Su Qing felt that something was wrong with this world, it's too crazy. It's already strange enough for a ghost to appear in broad daylight, but now the young man in front of her is actually threatening the ghost. Has his brain been kicked by a donkey?

  Suddenly she heard a low voice saying "Hurry up and pull me."

  Pull him? What does that mean? Although she didn't understand, she still pulled Guo Ming with all her might, not letting him go forward. Guo Ming loudly roared, "Damn it! What's wrong with this society? A little ghost dares to threaten me, don't you know who I am? I'm a descendant of Nüwa, the offspring of Yan and Huang, you dare to threaten me, are you looking for death?"

  After hearing his words, Su Qing felt that she had wasted the past decade or so. Which Chinese person isn't like this? You are a descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors, aren't the ghosts on the other side also the ghosts of the Yan and Huang?

  That ghost saw Guo Ming so arrogant and was also frightened, hastily jumping up from the ground, pointing at Guo Ming and saying, "Don't move your hands, be careful I'll kill you."

  As they watched the two people getting closer and closer, Guo Ming hastily said, "You'd better use some strength!"

  Su Qing savored his words carefully, looked down at the other's feet, and was surprised to find them trembling. Could he be pretending to be mysterious? Oh my god, he was actually scared of ghosts! Su Qing was thoroughly shocked by this thought. Since she understood what he meant, she didn't dare hold back, even going so far as to grab him around the waist and drag him to one side.

  That ghost was so angry he couldn't laugh, this world has really changed, he was actually intimidated by a mortal, with his sharp eyesight he naturally saw the small movements between the two. Hmph, since you dare to intimidate me, I'll make you taste the consequences.

  He walked step by step towards the two of them. In a low voice, he said: "Don't hold onto him, isn't he capable? Come on, let's have a try!"

  Su Qing's face changed upon hearing this, and she pulled Guo Ming back with even greater force. But there was no need for her to pull him, as Guo Ming let go of her hand and shouted loudly: "The wind is strong, run quickly!" He took off running first.

  Su Qing scolded him inwardly as soon as she saw him. You're a man, how could you abandon a girl and leave first?

  Complaining is useless, let's just run a race!

  "Hmph, think you can escape? It's not that easy," the withered corpse cackled. His hands stacked together, a ghostly Daoist seal spread out from his fingertips and rapidly radiated outward in all directions.

  Guo Ming ran and ran, only to suddenly discover that he had run back to the starting point. The desiccated corpse stood not far away, staring at him with an icy gaze. Then it let out a loud cry and took off running again without looking back.

  Su Qing was the same, but she was a bit unlucky and suddenly bumped into the opponent's body. A strong smell of blood rushed into her brain, stimulating her dizzy brain, and she vomited it out. After vomiting, she chased after Guo Ming with all her might, now she didn't think about anything else, as long as she could catch up to Guo Ming, that was enough, if anyone had to die, he would be the first one.

  Guo Ming turned around in a circle and returned strangely again, crying with a sad face: "What did you do?"

  "There's nothing much, just a little magic trick, aren't you capable? Keep running. The dry corpse said in a cold voice."

  "What should I do now? Su Qing finally grabbed onto Guo Ming's arm, this time holding on tightly and refusing to let go. He was her only comfort at the moment."

  "How would I know?" Guo Ming said with a smirk.

  "I'll teach you what to do!" The dried-up corpse laughed loudly and took step by step closer to the two.

  Su Qing wanted to move her feet, but was terrified to find herself completely bound. Guo Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Don't force me, or you'll regret it."

  "Regret, I don't even know how to write the two characters for regret now." The dried-up corpse chuckled.

  The second half is coming, and the explosion continues.
