My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1072 - 1042: Medicine Gone, My Ghostly Life Is Over!

Chapter 1072: Chapter 1042: Medicine Gone, My Ghostly Life Is Over!

Wei Xie felt like he had the worst luck ever recently. He had just sent a string of ghosts through the Ghost Gate, including an Evil Ghost he had painstakingly captured. Fortunately, his hard work paid off as he encountered Black Impermanence, who even said he could get him a post as an official ghost messenger guiding souls.

In other words, he could formally become a regular soldier in the Underworld, officially on the payroll.

A peak in the ghost life!

However, becoming a regular isn’t as free as roaming the mortal world. As a ghost messenger, he couldn’t move around freely among humans like a living person. Otherwise, if everyone were like him, wouldn’t the yin-yang worlds be in chaos?

He didn’t go for reincarnation just to enjoy the freedom of the human world, right?

Wei Xie discreetly mentioned that he was still the Store Manager at Qin Liuxi’s shop, and it’s best to just have a part-time role.

He thought Black Impermanence would be angry. After all, many ghosts aspiring for government jobs thought he was being ungrateful, as Lord Hei personally offered him a position which he dared to refuse. Wasn’t this disrespectful?

Even Ming Yu, who had been trying to qualify as a ghost soldier for a long time, thought Wei Xie was asking for trouble, trying hard to pretend and irritating everyone.

But Black Impermanence just laughed and said, "Since Master values your abilities, do your best, and don’t say I want to take you."

Trying to snatch someone, no, snatch a ghost from Qin Liuxi would be like taking money from her pocket, wouldn’t it?

It wouldn’t do to lose out instead of gaining.

So, with envious and jealous gazes from ghost soldiers, Wei Xie left the Ghost Gate, returned to the human world, and caught a few more ghosts. Yet again, he encountered a tough case.

This tough case was a Corpse Refining Ghost absorbing Ghost Essence and had the potential to become a Ghost King.

Ghost folks, who understands? Though not registered as a formal ghost messenger, with a complete set of ghost messenger equipment, he couldn’t beat this Wild Ghost and faced the risk of being forcibly refined. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Damn it, this bastard wasn’t after his beauty but his Ghost Essence.

Wait, I’ll call for help!

I’ll kill you!

The Evil Ghost named Wu Tongtian saw Wei Xie self-harming, frowning, noticing that ’body’ turning into paper ash and who had made that ’body,’ resembling a true form.

Regardless of what it was, this Ghost Essence with merit was now Wu Tongtian’s.

Wei Xie saw the greed and intent in Wu Tongtian’s eyes, his Ghost Essence wanting to shrink, and said, "You, mere ghost, what do you intend to do by refining evil ghosts?"

"Are we familiar enough for me to tell you?" Wu Tongtian sneered sinisterly, "Don’t stall for time, no one can save you."

Damn dog, not falling for it!

Wei Xie coldly laughed, "You think you can really do anything to me? Every ghost messenger’s equipment is recorded and accounted for; you think the Underworld won’t investigate if you take my stuff?"

Wu Tongtian looked at the Soul Hook Chain and shackles at Wei Xie’s waist and said, "Afraid of what, once I’ve refined your Ghost Essence, I can naturally transform into your form, openly hooking souls."

He caressed the Soul-hooking Chain, fully content.

Never expected today to harvest such a bounty, encountering this dimwitted yet meritorious ghost messenger. Once I get this set of soul-hooking tools and refine Wei Xie’s Ghost Essence, who wouldn’t I be able to capture while disguised as a ghost messenger?

Specializing in hooking those benevolent souls carrying merit, what a great supplement!

Wu Tongtian’s eyes turned red, licking his lips, exuding eerie dread.

Looking at Wu Tongtian’s messy hair and scarred face, thinking of this ghost face transforming into himself to seduce — no, to hook souls all over the place, Wei Xie felt disgusted and spat.

"Why don’t you just go and replace Emperor Fengdu in the Underworld if you’re so capable? Transform into my semblance? You ugly thing fits for it!"

Wu Tongtian’s expression turned fierce, he hated when people called him ugly.

His mother despised his ugliness, frequently beating or scolding him, once even scorching his face with a fiery rod. Later, she died at his hands; turned her into a corpse ghost, refined her ghost so she could never call him ugly again. Eventually, he died too, but became an Evil Ghost.

Yet this sissy ghost impermanence dared call him ugly!

Wu Tongtian’s hands turned into claws, reaching for Wei Xie, those hands like chicken talons, with sharp nails, exuding Yin Evil Energy.

"Don’t you come over." Wei Xie was bound by the corpse ghost, struggling continually, seeing Wu Tongtian’s ghost claws reaching for his spiritual platform, nearly losing it, yelling, "Qin Buqiu, you cursed one, if you don’t come, I’ll really be gone!"

The ghost claw touched his head.

Wei Xie: It’s over, my ghost life is done for!

In the Void, a ripple, then a skill hit Wu Tongtian.

Lightning imbued with great power.

Wu Tongtian shrieked in pain, retracting his hand, spun around, and fled.

Wei Xie also felt the power of the lightning pass through, causing him to shudder fiercely, glaring at Qin Liuxi, can’t you be careful not to hurt allies?

Wu Tongtian leapt several yards, Evil Ghost Energy swirling around him, fixing his red ghost eyes on Qin Liuxi, who appeared from midair.

At this glance, he knew something was wrong.

Danger!

This was a Heavenly Master, the difficult kind to deal with!

Time to run!

Wu Tongtian wasn’t like other villains, who talked too much thinking they were immortal. He grew up observing faces, knowing who can be messed with. Although he met an untimely end, his discerning eye remained sharp, even in death.

Even having become a feared figure among ghosts, about to become a Ghost King!

Run, run quickly.

What a pity for that Ghost Essence with merit.

Wu Tongtian whisked away to escape.

"Where do you think you’re going?" Qin Liuxi threw the Heavenly Pearl, which, confronting Ghost Evil, magnified its pressure, seemingly gaining a soul, and automatically chased Wu Tongtian, soon binding around his neck.

"Ah." Wu Tongtian let out another shriek, clutching the Heavenly Pearl strangling his neck, struggling violently, but the more he struggled, the tighter the Pearl constricted, the emanating Divine Power flaying his soul like invisible golden light.

The ghost’s wails soared.

The corpse ghost restraining Wei Xie was also intimidated, its soul body growing faint, loosening its grip with a wretched scream.

They were even weaker than Wu Tongtian and soon scattered into ghost particles, bones turning to dust, whisked away by the dark wind.

Wei Xie shivered uncontrollably.

Did Qin Buqiu forget he’s also a ghost, afraid of the Great Emperor’s Divine Power too?

This battle strategy causes a thousand enemy casualties, costing eight hundred of his own!

Wu Tongtian, pushed by the Evil Ghost Energy, roared, "Exterminate the ghost demon, heed my command, slay..."

"Slay your head!" Qin Liuxi, seeing Wei Xie’s pitiful state, hit Wu Tongtian several more times with thunder.

Ow, ow, ow.

The little ghost summoned by Wu Tongtian witnessed this scene, nearly blinded by the purple thunderlight, fled helter-skelter.

Too ruthless!

Couldn’t beat him, would never beat him, farewell, don’t invite!
