The Mightiest Little Master of Metaphysics-Chapter 4: Any Ghost City Will Do

The car descended the mountain and took a turn onto the highway.

Yuqing Temple was located between the Capital City and Hai City. Hai City was also a major city, not at all inferior to the Capital City in terms of development.

However, several continuous mountains separated the two cities, and taking the highway required passing through a desolate area.

The driver's endless chatter successfully made Yun Qi open her mouth wide and let out a long, slow yawn.

As she yawned, Yun Qiuce also felt like yawning but thought:

Since he wasn't very familiar with Little Dumpling yet, would she think he wasn't stable? So, he painstakingly held it in.

He kicked the front seat, "Are you ever going to shut up? You babble so much you're making me sleepy."

Only then did the driver close his mouth, focusing on driving.

The poor little human next to him was already sleepy but stubbornly resisted sleep, turning away to gaze at Yun Qiuce with watery phoenix eyes.

This uncle is silly, but he's not a bad person. It would be a pity if he died.

Others couldn't see it, but Yun Qi could. There was a blood-red mark at the center of Yun Qiuce's brow, left by the marriage ghost, indicating it would soon come for him.

Moreover, Yun Qiuce's forehead was dark, with a blood aura enveloping his head, almost swallowing his features. At the current rate of spread, he wouldn't survive the night.

Strange, wasn't her Sister Ying supposed to be very powerful?

How could she not notice this?

***

Yun Qi struggled against sleepiness, stretching out her chubby little hand to rub her eyes and sighed like a little adult:

Why hasn't it come yet?

Any ghost would do, she couldn't wait anymore.

Yun Qiuce had no idea what his little niece was anticipating. Confidently, he touched his face, a roguish smile playing at his lips, "How about it? Uncle's handsome, right? Sigh, it's such a hassle being good-looking, always attracting attention wherever I go..."

Yun Qi's eyelids were already drooping, her head nodding like a pecking chick, but she was still very awake, muttering softly, "Not only people like it, ghosts do too."

Yun Qiuce didn't hear clearly, "Qi, what did you say?"

Yun Qi was about to speak when suddenly, with a 'bang', a massive force descended from the sky, crushing the car's hood completely flat.

The driver's face twisted as he stomped on the brakes, sparks flew from the wheels, leaving long streaks on the ground, and it took quite a while before the car stopped with difficulty.

Stopping on the highway was very dangerous, yet looking around, theirs was the only car on the long road.

A thick fog enveloped the surroundings, the distant mountains twisted, it was unclear whether they were in reality or an illusion realm.

Yun Qiuce bumped his head on the glass, painfully clutching his forehead, "...How the hell are you driving...?"

The driver pointed at the woman in red on the hood, trembling and unable to speak a complete sentence, "...I...I...I..."

Yun Qiuce got angry, "Are you crowing—"

He looked up and was stunned as well.

The woman in red on the hood lifted her head, her pupils entirely black with no whites at all, her face as pale as if covered with layers of powder, lips scarlet, and the corners of her mouth curved upwards in a bloodstained smile, an eerie smile:

"Yun Qiuce... I've come..."

"A ghost!!!"

Both the driver and Yun Qiuce let out piercing screams, simultaneously opening the car doors and scrambling backward.

Yun Qiuce had only run a few steps when he remembered his little niece was still in the car. After a difficult few seconds of inner struggle, he turned around to find Yun Qi.

Yun Qi let out a long, slow yawn, almost squeezing out tears.

Finally, it's here. Making a child wait until late at night was really too much.

Huh???

How do you open a child safety seat? I've never used one!
