Chapter Two: Encountering the Mighty Ghost Once More

“Crown Prince, I’m coming; Human Emperor, I’m coming!” Han Tianyue had already left the school, and his goal was clear.

“Before I go, I want to see two people!” Han Tianyue halted, glancing at Mao Xuanzi, Fang Zhe, and Feng Shang, who had left the school with him. “Oh, no, not two people—two ghosts!”

“Two ghosts?” Feng Shang looked at Han Tianyue with some confusion.

Han Tianyue nodded with a smile.

“Lead the way!” Mao Xuanzi said.

Back then, Han Tianyue had been just a soul. The memories of his soul were not as vivid as those of his living self, but guided by a faint sense, Han Tianyue strode into the darkness.

“They should be around here!” The surroundings were shrouded in darkness, gravestones scattered everywhere, making the place seem grim and eerie.

“Are you sure it’s here?” Feng Shang shivered with goosebumps.

“Yes, definitely!” Han Tianyue entered the graveyard, continuing, “Didn’t I tell you? Two ghosts!”

Feng Shang broke out in a cold sweat. “Are we really going to see ghosts?”

Han Tianyue nodded with absolute certainty.

Feng Shang was left speechless.

“Brother Strong Ghost, Brother Masked Ghost, are you still here?” There were too many graves to tell which belonged to them.

He called out for a long time, but no ghosts appeared. Han Tianyue wondered, “Could they have already left?”

At that moment, a chilling wind swept through, and two skeletons materialized before them.

Upon seeing them, Feng Shang’s eyes rolled back in his head, and he collapsed to the ground.

Fang Zhe and Mao Xuanzi immediately prepared for battle.

“You’re still here!” Han Tianyue greeted them joyfully.

“Hehe, brother, Han Tianyue has come to see us!” The gaunt Masked Ghost, upon seeing Han Tianyue, was thrilled.

Strong Ghost floated before Han Tianyue and scrutinized him carefully, then said earnestly, “So you weren’t lying to us. You really are still alive!”

“Alright, Strong Ghost, Masked Ghost, I came this time to say goodbye. I’m leaving!” Han Tianyue continued, “You’ve already registered as ghosts, right? When are you going to the Underworld?”

Strong Ghost replied, “Actually, you don’t know. Though we’ve registered, the Ninefold Heavens are shattered, and the road to the Underworld has become very distant, so we haven’t prepared to depart yet.”

This was the first Han Tianyue had heard about the ruined Ninefold Heavens, but it didn’t shake his resolve.

“These are your companions?” Strong Ghost pointed at Mao Xuanzi and the others.

Han Tianyue nodded.

Masked Ghost floated around Mao Xuanzi, Fang Zhe, and Feng Shang, examining them closely. Seeing the ghost, Feng Shang shouted, “Don’t come any closer!”

Masked Ghost, delighted by Feng Shang’s fear, stretched both hands and pulled his own face into a grotesquely long expression.

Feng Shang fainted again.

“Enough, Masked Ghost!” Strong Ghost rushed over, grabbed Masked Ghost by the ear, and scolded him.

Masked Ghost obediently withdrew to the side.

Strong Ghost apologized, “Sorry to have frightened you. We mean no harm.”

Han Tianyue stepped forward and said, “Actually, Masked Ghost is quite amusing.”

At Han Tianyue’s praise, Masked Ghost immediately floated to Han Tianyue’s side, grinning, “You’re the one who understands me best, Han Tianyue! I’m truly a ghost everyone loves!”

His antics were somewhat reminiscent of Feng Shang’s, prompting Fang Zhe and Mao Xuanzi to laugh.

As the sky brightened, Strong Ghost said, “We must return to our graves now.”

Han Tianyue said, “My two ghost brothers, until we meet again!”

Masked Ghost gazed longingly at Han Tianyue, then finally vanished into the grave.

“Farewell, Han Tianyue!”

A ray of sunlight pierced the earth, gradually warming the graveyard. At that moment, Feng Shang suddenly leapt up and shouted, “Evil ghost, take this!”

He looked around, but Masked Ghost was nowhere to be seen.

Fang Zhe shook his head. “He’s already gone.”

“Oh.”

“Let’s head towards where the sun rises!” Han Tianyue pointed to the distance.

Gold medals, bookmarks, recommendations, clicks, comments, red envelopes, gifts—whatever you have, throw them all my way!
