Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

As if to verify Lin Ye's words, a chilling woman's cry suddenly came from the depths of the ancient well.

The cries were mournful and poignant, echoing through the empty old house, as if countless cold hands were stroking the back of everyone's necks.

Qin Shao's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground: "That's...that's the voice! She's come looking for me!"

Seeing this, Master Xuanqing, eager to steal the credit in front of the 500,000, shouted:

"You fiend, dare to be so arrogant! Watch me subdue you!"

He suddenly drew the peach wood sword from his back, pinched out a yellow talisman with his left hand, and took an unorthodox Seven Star Step, rushing directly towards the ancient well.

However, he had only rushed to within five meters of the well.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a black, resentful aura erupted from the ancient well, and a column of water shot into the sky.

A woman dressed in a tattered bright red wedding gown slowly rose from the black water.

The woman's hair was wet and stuck to her face.

His neck was broken at a bizarre ninety-degree angle, and blood dripped from his red clothes onto the blue bricks, instantly filling the air with a putrid stench.

"A vengeful ghost in red?!"

Xuan Qing was shocked. This was no ordinary vengeful spirit; it was a ferocious creature that had already gained power!

He bit his fingertip, smeared the blood on the peach wood sword, and chanted the incantation: "The Supreme Lord Laozi taught me to slay demons, and gave me the divine elixir! Swiftly!"

With a thrust of his sword, he aimed straight for the face of the woman in red.

With a crisp "crack," the peach wood sword that Xuanqing was so proud of was grabbed by the pale, swollen hand of the woman in red and easily broken in two like a matchstick!

"That's impossible!"

Xuanqing's expression changed drastically in shock.

Before he could retreat, the woman in red had already teleported in front of him.

A chilling aura rushed towards them, and the female ghost suddenly stretched out her hands, tightly gripping Xuan Qing's neck, lifting him into the air like a chicken.

"Giggle giggle..."

Xuanqing's eyes rolled back instantly, his legs kicked wildly in the air, and the whisk in his hand fell to the ground. He was no longer the dignified immortal he once was.

Fatty Wang and Young Master Qin were so frightened that they huddled together, trembling.

At this critical moment, the familiar semi-transparent light screen on Lin Ye's retina popped up with a tingling notification sound.

"Ding! My Lord, please exercise self-respect. System notification: A classic face-slapping scenario has been detected: 'The blind old Taoist priest has crashed and burned.' Please make a choice within three minutes!"

[Option A: Stand idly by – Shout "Master, hang in there, I'll go call an ambulance," then run away with the girl.]

[Reward: 100-meter sprint speed +10. Consequence: Young Master Qin is killed, 500,000 yuan is lost, and you will be remembered in the metaphysical world as a coward.]

Option B: Rescue discreetly – secretly throw out a talisman to interrupt the female ghost, without stealing the spotlight.

[Reward: Official Points +50, Leng Yue's Favorability -5 (She dislikes your timidity). Consequence: Xuan Qing might turn around and accuse you of stealing his credit after being rescued.]

Option C: Crush them in the most outrageous way—strike a low-key yet deadly attack, letting these bumpkins witness what the combination of a pure Yang Daoist body and a top-tier Dharma sect truly means.

[Reward: 300 Official Points, limited-time title "Show-Off Like the Wind" (increases aura by 500% when worn, and adds reverberation to witty remarks), and a surge in public admiration.]

Lin Ye's lips curled into an arrogant smile.

When it comes to showing off and getting slapped in the face, what other choice do you have?

"System, I choose C!"

Lin Ye shoved the black umbrella into Wang Pangzi's arms and said coldly, "Fatty, watch the umbrella."

Then, he took a step forward, and the pure yang energy that had been suppressed by the cold moon's yin energy burst forth like a flood!

With the blessing of the Pure Yang Dao Body, Lin Ye's body faintly emitted a layer of crimson light.

He made a sudden slash in the air with his right hand, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood mixed with strong yang energy directly onto a blank yellow paper that had been prepared in his left hand.

Lin Ye's eyes flashed like lightning, his fingers flew, and he quickly drew obscure runes on the yellow talisman, while his mouth burst forth with a highly rhythmic chant of a long Buddhist incantation:

"Heaven is round, earth is square; laws and decrees are in nine chapters!"

"When I put pen to paper, all demons will cower in fear!"

"A touch of clarity in the sky, a touch of brightness on the earth, a touch of divine intervention with thunder!"

"By imperial decree, the Three Yangs Obscure Fire, break!"

Just as Lin Ye drew the talisman...

Leng Yue, who had been standing quietly at the back, flashed a golden light in her deep red eyes.

She didn't make a move, but subtly released a trace of the absolute rank pressure belonging to the Thousand-Year Red Hou.

This oppressive force had no effect on the living, but for the red-clad female ghost, it was like Mount Tai pressing down on her!

The female ghost's hideous face instantly became extremely distorted and terrified.

She felt a tremor from the depths of her soul.

That was the primal suppression of the Zombie Peak, the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire!

In that half-second of the female ghost's movements freezing,

Lin Ye had already moved forward using the mysterious "Nine Purple Gang Steps".

The Yang Blood Talisman in his hand had transformed into a fireball radiating a blinding red light, which he forcefully slapped onto the face of the red-clad female ghost!

"Bang!!!"

A thunderous explosion, like a bolt from the blue, echoed through the old house.

The pure Yang blood, combined with the power of the talisman, instantly shattered the black resentment surrounding the red-clad female ghost.

"ah!!!"

The female ghost let out a shrill scream and abruptly released Xuanqing with both hands.

The entire spirit body burst into flames as if it had been doused with sulfuric acid.

Before she could resist, she transformed into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared back into the ancient well, hiding at the bottom and never daring to show her face again.

"thump."

Master Xuanqing fell heavily into the muddy water, clutching his neck and coughing violently, gasping for air.

His old face was ashen white, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and extreme fear as he looked at Lin Ye.

The young man he had just mocked had actually killed the red-clothed ghost that he had no chance against with just a talisman and a mouthful of blood!

The entire place was deathly silent, with only the sound of continuous autumn rain.

Lin Ye patted the cinnabar dust off his hands, looking down at Xuan Qing in the mud, his voice carrying the faint echo of his title:

"Master Xuanqing, your Maoshan martial arts seem a bit lacking. Is this all you've got? My wife was just worried I'd get bored, so she had me play with it myself."

"You...you..."

Xuan Qing's face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Finally, filled with shame and indignation, he abandoned his broken sword and scrambled out of the old house, fleeing for his life.

"Holy crap! Yoko, you're like a god descended to earth!"

Fatty Wang was so excited he was jumping up and down. If he wasn't afraid of disturbing Lin Ye's show-off act, he would have pounced on him long ago.

Qin Shao even knelt down on the ground, hugged Lin Ye's leg, and cried while snotting his nose and tears streaming down his face.

"Master Lin! Ancestor Lin! You are truly my second parents! Five hundred thousand! No, I'll give you a million! Please save me completely!"

Just as Lin Ye was enjoying the thrill of showing off.

A small figure wearing a bright yellow duck raincoat suddenly hopped and skipped to Lin Ye's side.

Froststar crouched down, like a kitten that had smelled blood, and inhaled the lingering resentment of the red-clad female ghost in mid-air, revealing a satisfied expression.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Lin Ye's bleeding fingers with heartache through her heterochromatic eyes.

"Brother-in-law is so amazing, but he's bleeding again..."

Ignoring the presence of outsiders, Shuangxing grabbed Lin Ye's finger and tenderly put the fingertip, which bore a trace of pure yang blood, into her mouth.

"hiss!"

Lin Ye gasped.

Froststar's pink tongue with barbs gently licked and sucked at Lin Ye's fingertips.

Each swallow was accompanied by a tingling electric current that spread throughout the body.

This uninhibited display of intimacy in front of others, coupled with the intense sensation from his fingertips, caused Lin Ye's breathing to become erratic.

At this moment, Leng Yue slowly walked forward.

Her long legs were dazzlingly white in the rainy night.

Without saying a word, she naturally reached out and gently wiped the sweat from Lin Ye's forehead with her cool fingertips.

Then he took off his black trench coat and draped it over Lin Ye's shoulders, which were trembling slightly from releasing pure yang energy.

"My lord, you've worked hard."

Leng Yue's voice was so gentle it could melt hearts, but her deep red eyes were fixed warily on the ancient well.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, enjoying the extreme comfort of being embraced on both sides, when the system's second notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! You've successfully humiliated yourself and earned points.]

[Warning: The host just repelled only a clone of the red-clad vengeful ghost. This ancient well connects to extremely yin earth veins; the real monster is still below.]

Lin Ye's gaze passed over Leng Yue and Shuang Xing, and fell upon the ancient well that seemed to be bottomless.

Rainwater pattered on the blue bricks, and a faint, grating sound, like fingernails scratching a coffin, could be heard from the bottom of the well.

"It seems that earning this million won't be easy."
