Even blind box hunters don't choose their partners? I got Su Daji from my blind box!

however.

The expected scene of carnage and bloodshed did not occur.

A soft laugh suddenly rang out in the air.

"Riding in a sedan chair?"

Lin Xiao put his hands in his pockets, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the terrifying red-clad ghost in front of him.

The golden dragon shadow deep within his pupils suddenly solidified.

Beneath his originally smooth and jade-like skin, a faint golden light slowly flowed, as if an ancient emperor was awakening within him.

Although it was only the prototype of the Human Emperor's Dao Body, and only fused with a finger bone.

But as soon as that aura was released, the fog along the entire street instantly boiled over!

That was the majestic power of Heaven!

It is the supreme domineering power of the human ancestors who carved a bloody path through the wilderness, suppressed all races, and made gods and demons flee in terror!

"boom--!"

There were no earth-shattering explosions, nor any dazzling skill effects.

It was only for a fleeting moment when the aura was released.

The blood-dripping red sedan chair seemed to have been slapped hard by an invisible giant hand, and with a "crack," it exploded on the spot, shattering into pieces!

The eight paper figures didn't even utter a sound before spontaneously combusting, turning into a pile of black ash that scattered all over the ground.

And that originally arrogant and domineering female ghost in red...

"ah!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out.

As if encountering its natural enemy, its originally solid ghost body trembled violently, and the bright red wedding dress on its body faded and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It is in fear!

That fear was not a fear of power, but a deep-seated submission and trembling to the "Emperor" etched into the soul!

"Thump!"

Under Xia Chaoyue's dumbfounded gaze.

The red-clad ghost, who had been so arrogant and wielding the rule of certain death, suddenly buckled at the knees and knelt upright before Lin Xiao!

It trembled, buried its head deep in the ground, and dared not even breathe.

The originally eerie and terrifying picture of a hundred ghosts parading at night was instantly transformed into a bizarre scene of subjects paying homage to their king.

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

Only the distant watchman's gong continued to ring, oblivious to the impending doom.

Xia Chaoyue's mouth dropped open, and the long sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.

She glanced at the female ghost kneeling and begging for mercy, then at Lin Xiao, who looked calm and composed, as if he had only done something insignificant.

My head is buzzing.

Is this guy a gigolo?

Who would be so terrified of a sixth-tier rule-based vengeful spirit that they'd kneel down?!

"you……"

Xia Chaoyue swallowed.

"What... is going on?"

Lin Xiao dispelled his imperial aura, turned around, and gave Xia Chaoyue a bright smile.

"I?"

"I'm just an ordinary freshman."

After he finished speaking, he turned around.

Like a thug collecting protection money, he bent down and asked with a smile.

"Come on, what did you just say?"

"You want me to ride in a sedan chair?"

"Now that the sedan chair is gone, what do you think we should do?"

The woman in red trembled violently, and she raised her head with a shiver.

That originally ferocious and terrifying face actually managed to squeeze out a fawning expression that was even uglier than crying.

It stretched out its ghostly claw, pointed to its own back, and uttered a voice of utter humility.

"If...if Your Majesty does not mind..."

"Should I...carry you on my back?"

Lin Xiao: "..."

Xia Chaoyue: "..."

Xia Chaoyue's hand holding the knife froze in mid-air, her knuckles turning blue and white from excessive force.

Her eyes, which usually held a hint of arrogance, were now wide open like copper bells, as the scene before her was violently shattering her worldview.

The sixth-tier red-clad vengeful ghost, who was ferocious and wielding the rule of certain death just a moment ago, is now prostrate on the bluestone slab.

His forehead hit the ground with a loud "thump," which sounded painful.

"I'll carry you on my back... I'll carry you on my back..."

The ghost's voice trembled, revealing a fear etched into its very bones, and a humble, almost obsequious, fawning tone.

Xia Chaoyue felt that the martial arts knowledge she had built up over twenty years shattered into a QR code at this moment.

This world has ultimately become so mad that I don't recognize it anymore.

This is a hellish dungeon!

This is a parade of a hundred demons with a mortality rate as high as 90%!

Shouldn't the script be about facing death on the brink of death, revealing all the cards, and finally bringing out a mythical couple for an earth-shattering showdown?

How can you scare a vengeful ghost to its knees just by using facial recognition?

What exactly is Lin Xiao hiding?

That fleeting aura was even more terrifying and noble than the grandmaster-level pressure she felt from the principal of Yanjing Martial Arts University.

"Carry me on your back?"

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the wedding dress that was still dripping with black blood, his disgust practically overflowing.

He took a half step back, as if he had seen some non-recyclable waste.

"Forget it."

"Your clothes haven't been washed in who knows how many years. They smell like corpse oil, and they even smell a bit rancid."

Lin Xiao tugged at his collar, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"My clothes aren't expensive, but they're new, and they're hard to wash if they get dirty."

The red-clad vengeful ghost: "..."

Xia Chaoyue: "..."

Is this the important point?!

Brother, this is a vengeful ghost! You think it's dirty? Are you crazy?!

However, what's even more outrageous is the ghost's reaction.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's refusal, it did not become angry or embarrassed, but instead breathed a sigh of relief as if it had survived a disaster.

It probably realized that its appearance was a bit "shabby" and was afraid of offending the king's eyes.

She hastily wiped the blood off her face with her sleeve, revealing a pale, paper-white face, and forced out a fawning smile that looked worse than crying.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is right. I am unworthy to touch your golden body."

It knelt on the ground, cautiously raised its head, its eyes filled with a will to survive.

"Then...then shall this servant lead the way for Your Majesty?"

"I know this Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts like the back of my hand! I know exactly where the pits are, where the treasures are, and which ghosts are blind to the danger!"

In order to survive, it did not hesitate to betray its own kind, and even made a pledge of allegiance on the spot.

"If you encounter any inconsiderate people, Your Majesty, you won't need to lift a finger; I'll take care of them for you! I guarantee you'll have a pleasant and enjoyable shopping experience!"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow.

That saves trouble.

Although he has the "All-Seeing Eye," this instance is full of rule traps.

It's quite tiring to keep your all-knowing eye open all the time.

Having a local guide makes things much more convenient.

"Alright."

Lin Xiao stood with his hands in his pockets and his chin slightly raised, looking exactly like a leader coming down to inspect work.

"Lead the way."

"Alright! Your Majesty, this way please! Watch out for the steps!"

The red-clad ghost was overjoyed and immediately got up from the ground.

It stopped floating and started walking obediently on its feet, deliberately keeping its body low to the ground, never daring to be even half a head taller than Lin Xiao.

"Let's go, President Xia."

Lin Xiao glanced back at Xia Chaoyue, who was still bewildered in the wind, and said teasingly.

"What are you standing there for? Waiting to be served a meal?"

Xia Chaoyue's lips twitched violently.

She silently sheathed her sword, took a deep breath, forcibly pieced together her shattered worldview, and followed.
