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

In another guest room.

In the quiet room, Wang Chao sat cross-legged, seizing every moment to refine the eerie energy within his body, while the girl standing in the corner of the room did the same, emanating a faint fluctuation of eerie energy.

The door was gently pushed open, and another member of the Cangming team walked in carrying food and water.

"Captain, have something to eat."

Wang Chao opened his eyes, walked to the table, and quietly ate his food to replenish his strength.

This time, the Cangming team was fortunate enough to get three spots in the dungeon: him, Li Yi, and the girl who joined after entering the game.

"Ling Xin, junior, you should have some too." Li Yi took an apple out of his pocket, wiped it carefully on his clothes, and walked towards Ling Xin, who was standing by the window.

Looking at the outstretched hand, Ling Xin'er simply shook her head in silence.

"I know you don't like meat, so I specially found some fruit." Seeing that Ling Xin'er didn't take it, Li Yi seemed to be used to it. The adoring look in his eyes remained unaffected. He then took out a lot of fruit from his pocket and carefully placed it on the table.

"If you get hungry later, just grab something to eat; it'll be a long time before dawn."

This time, they didn't even respond.

Feeling the chilling aura emanating from Ling Xin'er, Wang Chao, the captain of the Cangming team, had a headache.

As fellow A-level students, and especially after experiencing the entrance game, he knew very well how talented Ling Xin'er was. Even though she sacrificed her A-level ability to control ghosts in a fit of anger when she entered the school, the hidden power within her was still terrifying.

That's why he invited the other person to join the team, and to his surprise, they actually agreed.

Moreover, Ling Xin'er entered the A-level eerie dungeon twice afterward. Once she went with her team, and once she went alone to the most mysterious exclusive dungeon in the academy.

I entered the eerie dungeon twice and obtained the A-level ability to control elves both times!

In other words, Ling Xin'er is now a "double A" fourth-level demon hunter, and is even about to surpass him, the captain!

He knew that Ling Xin'er, like that S-rank guy, was a super talented demon hunter, and given enough time, she would eventually grow into someone others would look up to.

that's the truth.

After Ling Xin'er joined, the team's average combat strength improved again. In the last academy ceremony, the Cangming team jumped to fourth place in the school in terms of total eliminations, setting a new historical record.

Moreover, during the time they entered the eerie dungeon together, the team members also reaped more rewards than before.

"well........"

Li Yi, who sat down at the table with Wang Chao to eat, couldn't help but sigh quietly. He glanced at Wang Chao and whispered something to him.

"Captain, do I even have a chance? I've been in our team for so long, and she's never said more than twenty words to me in total."

Wang Chao certainly understood what Li Yi meant. Such a beautiful and outstanding junior would have admirers anywhere, and the team didn't forbid members from dating.

"Don't worry, she's not targeting you. She hasn't said more than twenty words in the entire team combined." Wang Chao knew nothing about these matters of the heart, but as the team leader, he still needed to offer some comfort.

Ling Xin'er is great in every way, except for one thing that makes it hard for the team members to adapt.

it's too cold.

She's so cold that almost no one of the opposite sex can get close to her.

He rarely even speaks to other people.

Although I'm physically in the team, it feels like my soul is wandering somewhere else.

"That makes sense. Maybe she really is a bit cold. If I just warm her up a bit, she'll melt sooner or later!" Li Yi was comforted and looked at that figure, his confidence rekindled.

Wang Chao suddenly recalled the scene in that barrier-bound forest. It seemed that Ling Xin'er wasn't as cold as she was when she was with a certain guy. So he hesitated and said, "It could also depend on the person."

"What do you mean by 'different people'? Don't be ridiculous, Captain. I've never seen her smile at any man." Li Yi didn't care.

I have seen.

Wang Chao thought to himself, but refrained from saying it aloud.

The members of the Cangming team had finally recovered from the previous setback and couldn't afford to suffer another blow.

Just as the two were exchanging words in silence, Ling Xin'er, who was standing by the window, suddenly turned around and walked towards the door.

Li Yi immediately followed: "Where are you going, Junior Sister Ling Xin? It might be dangerous outside at night. I'll go with you."

His response was a silent shake of the head in refusal.

Li Yi turned around, shrugged at Wang Chao, and comforted himself, "It's okay, courtship is always a complicated process."

Wang Chao nodded: "Keep it up."

........

After leaving the room, Ling Xin'er did not wander around, but walked along the corridor to the end and stood in front of the window at the end, looking at the night outside.

Her long hair began to flutter even without wind, and the eerie aura emanating from her body also began to sway.

She had decided to leave the room because she felt something was wrong with her body.

A light, ethereal figure in red appeared behind them, very close; the two equally graceful bodies were almost pressed together, one in front of the other.

【The Ghostly Woman in the Wedding Dress】

It was just a phantom.

She originally had two choices when she made the sacrifice: one was to sacrifice the A-level supernatural ability [Wedding Dress], and the other was to sacrifice the phantom of [Wedding Dress Female Ghost].

She didn't know what she was thinking, but in the end, she left behind a phantom image, sacrificing her much more important A-level bizarre ability.

As long as this phantom exists, there is always an anchor point in her perception, no matter where that anchor point is, she can sense it even in the bizarre dungeon.

Therefore, that side effect has always existed.

Many times, when it was late at night and all was quiet, her body would exhibit a strange reaction due to the pull between the phantom and her real body.

Passionate, emotional.

"Stop lying to yourself, you really do like Shangguanren."

The voice came from beside her ear, and a stunningly beautiful face, far more mature and alluring than hers, was resting on her shoulder, breathing seductively towards her.

Sometimes even she couldn't tell whether it was a phantom of the [Wedding Dress Ghost] or a real entity that had been teleported over.

"No, I just want to become stronger." Ling Xin'er shook her head gently, her expression as cold as ever.

"If you only wanted to become stronger, why did you leave only my phantom and give up your abilities in the first place? If it weren't for your own desires, how could I have become more and more solid?"

The phantom's voice carried a woman's soft charm, her brows and eyes flushed slightly, as she chuckled and threw out the royal flush.

"If you have no attachments, why do you feel a stirring of desire every time you make love to me, my lord?"

This last sentence made Ling Xin'er's breath catch in her throat, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.

Sometimes even she couldn't tell whether it was a phantom of the [Wedding Dress Ghost] or a real entity that had been teleported over.

The illusory figure slowly drifted to the front, extended a slender index finger to cup Ling Xin'er's face, and looked her up and down closely. The cold, soft index finger slowly moved and caressed Ling Xin'er's eyebrows, nose, and lips, and finally gave an extremely charming smile.

"What a beautiful face."

"Hehe, with a face and figure like that, you can't escape it. Sooner or later you'll be the master's woman."

"Admit it, you like it too, you like it extremely much."

And then, click.

The tightly closed door next to her suddenly opened, and a look of panic flashed across Ling Xin'er's face. She burst into full force and transformed into a streak of light, hurrying away.

Lu Ye, shirtless, craned his neck to look outside and muttered, "What are they doing whispering outside my door in the middle of the night? Disturbing my sleep!"

A woman's laughter drifted from the warm room. "Perhaps you can't sleep. My lord, go to sleep."
