Eighteen Ghost Emperors of my ancestors, how dare you make me live in terror?

Chapter 41 I am your long-lost father, my child.

"Heh, this guy actually managed to sneak into the senior students' group."

At the finish line, Li Tianyi couldn't help but smile as he looked at the floating image in front of him.

On screen, Lu Ye is mixed in with the senior students, shouting and yelling as they attack in all directions, completely in the zone. Yet, no one notices that something is wrong with this "senior student".

"Their chicken-stealing skills are incredibly sophisticated; did they receive special training beforehand?"

Li Tianyi turned his head to ask Wu Qing, who was lying on the recliner.

He had naturally seen Lu Ye stealing the chicken earlier through the floating image.

She hid in a tree, and when all the senior students' attention was drawn to Ling Xin'er, she made a timely move to sneak up behind a senior student standing at the back and knock him unconscious with a stick.

Then, like a skilled weasel, it gagged the person, kicked them into the bushes, and even covered them with weeds.

Finally, he brazenly impersonated the other person and infiltrated the group.

The set of movements was so fluid and graceful that even Li Tianyi was amazed.

"I haven't practiced it," Wu Qing replied. "It's probably an innate talent."

"Then your military is in luck, a natural-born special reconnaissance soldier who can manipulate illusions." Li Tianyi's gaze returned to the floating image.

From God's perspective, the senior students who were chasing them had almost cornered the A-level girl in a mountain range, and according to their direction of travel, there was a precipice not far away.

However, Li Tianyi shook his head with a smile: "These thirty senior students are probably in for some trouble."

........

"Self-bondage".

"Flowstone."

"Fell to the ground."

In the dim forest, Ling Xin'er moved quickly while uttering several words.

One of the three senior students at the front of the back suddenly seemed to be bound by invisible ropes, frozen in place and unable to move.

One was sent flying by a boulder that flew up from the mountainside, and the last one, while running, suddenly tripped inexplicably, lost control of his body, and crashed headfirst into a tree.

"Damn! This is so annoying!"

He got up cursing and swearing, intending to continue the chase.

Then they discovered that a red ribbon had been tied to his feet at some point, and in an instant, they threw him upside down and threw him several miles away.

Directly ahead, Ling Xin'er calmly wiped away a trace of black blood from the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes were filled with a moment of confusion, and her rapidly moving body staggered.

The mental disorder has recurred.

However, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue to force himself back to consciousness.

She was still wearing her wedding dress, and in the [Wedding Dress] state, her overall stats were boosted by 20%.

Thanks to the protective ghost artifact on her body, she wasn't actually injured, but the eerie energy of the 'Soul' Realm was almost unbearable, and even the phantom of the [Wedding Dress Ghost] following behind her could no longer be maintained.

Add to that the disruption caused by the "Heart-Reversing Barrier" and the backlash from the "Ghost Curse"...

Ling Xin'er's face was as pale as paper.

Only those dark red pupils remained calm and cold.

She subconsciously turned around and glanced behind her, a hint of doubt appearing in her calm eyes.

Because from the feedback of the phantom of the [Wedding Dress Ghost], she sensed that familiar aura.

Very close, right behind the group of older students chasing her.

Why is he here?

.........

"Chase her! She's dying!"

"Persistence is victory!"

"We've captured the junior student!"

Lu also held the flag high in the ranks and shouted.

"Don't shout, don't shout, have some shame." The senior from the class of 20 next to him quickly pulled him back, feeling a little embarrassed. "More than thirty senior students have been chasing after a freshman girl for most of the night and still haven't succeeded. It's really embarrassing if word gets out."

Along the way, the senior students blocked the junior students several times, but they failed to catch her.

The only result was that the number of senior students being pursued had unknowingly decreased from about thirty to about twenty.

About ten senior students quietly "dropped out" and "disappeared".

"Didn't you see how dark Li Zihuan's face is now? He was planning to catch this one before going after that S-rank, but now he hasn't even managed to get the A-rank freshman girl. He's probably losing face soon," the senior student added.

Lu also asked, "Are you planning to go find an S-rank later?"

"Of course, it's a 1000 million bounty. It's prestigious to catch them, and the team gets extra points too."

"But I heard that guy is pretty strong."

"Heh, strong?" The old man adopted a superior attitude. "It's just that I haven't met him yet. Otherwise, I would have gone up and fought him for three hundred rounds to show this kid what 'the might of the old man' really means."

"Wow." Lu Ye responded with a look of worship, "A man as strong as you will definitely shine."

"That's right, learn from it!"

The older student gave a cryptic smile, glanced behind him, and said, "Strange, why are there fewer and fewer people the more we chase them?"

"They probably went to intercept people in other directions."

"What's the point of blocking the road? There's a cliff right ahead; the junior can't escape."

Lu looked up and saw a cliff with a drop of over several hundred meters in front of him, with colorful mist swirling below, obscuring the bottom.

Ling Xin'er, now dressed in a white dress, stood alone before the cliff, facing the crowd.

Her pale, cold face, calm eyes, and dress billowing in the night wind revealed a captivating and poignant beauty, making many senior students unable to look away.

.........

"Junior, there's no way out, why don't we just leave it here?"

The senior student named Li Zihuan, who was ranked A, slowly stepped forward with an elegant and handsome smile on his face. Even his previously messy hair had been sprayed with hairspray again.

Looking at the charming and exceptionally talented freshman girl in front of him, Li Zihuan was filled with admiration.

Finally...

Finally, he found a beautiful girl who was a perfect match for him.

"If you don't want to hand over your ID card, that's fine too. I'll pay the bounty to them. As a freshman, you're already very outstanding, but we seniors have undergone even stronger training. I can take you out of the barrier with me and guarantee that no one else will bother you."

Li Zihuan's words took into account all of Ling Xin'er's possible escape routes.

It's not that the other person isn't good enough, but rather that the newcomer lacks experience, so there's no need to be discouraged by being caught.

Moreover, the 50 yuan bounty was more than enough for him to leave a good impression.

Without the hassle of traveling, with senior students looking out for him, and being given ample face, Li Ziheng felt that any freshman would probably not refuse.

However, the girl in front of me is probably different.

Because when he finished speaking, the other person's expression remained unchanged, silently conveying their attitude.

"Very good, this is the kind of person I should pay attention to."

Seeing this, Li Ziheng admired her even more, and his smile became even more charming.

"It seems we have no choice but to fight a match first."

If soft tactics don't work, try hard ones. First, subdue them, then conquer them. Some girls may be more attracted to strong men.

Ling Xin'er's gaze swept over everyone, but she didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, and her aura had been reduced to the lowest point.

But at this moment, the dark red underside of his eyes spread out like ink, slowly expanding the entire pupil into a deep red, and the vermilion between his brows became even more vivid, gently cracking open as if something was about to emerge from it.

At the same time, a surging, eerie aura of slaying suddenly spread out.

"Um?"

Lu was the first to notice this chilling aura.

It even made his body somewhat alert.

"Is there another plan?"

Li Zihuan, standing at the very front, chuckled lightly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Jiang Tao!"

"Jiang Tao?"

After calling for a long time, no one responded.

"They're calling you." The older student next to Lu Ye nudged him.

Lu Ye then realized, "Oh, oh, coming, coming!"

Squeezing through the crowd, I stood directly in front of Li Zihuan, side by side.
