The invincible female ghost is a bit love-struck.

Chapter 3: 5-Star Ghostly Envoy, 6-Star Hanging Ghost?!

Just as another heated debate was about to erupt, the stunningly beautiful woman on the palanquin simply waved her hand, and all the commotion subsided.

Finally, after leaving behind three thick sheepskin coats, the group departed in a grand procession.

Before leaving, the beautiful woman leaned against the sedan chair, glanced back, and her gaze fell on Lu Yuan, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Come back to Fengtian City when you have time. Your Aunt Qin always misses you."

Her voice was soft and sweet, like a hook, spreading in the slightly chilly air.

Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he nodded somewhat awkwardly.

"Okay, okay..."

Until the group of people completely disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan couldn't wait to wrap themselves in the soft sheepskin coats.

"Hey, this is fucking warm!"

After putting it on, Xu Erxiao grinned widely, his face beaming with joy.

Wang Cheng'an, standing nearby, looked on with curiosity and leaned in to ask in a low voice:

"Brother Lu, who is Aunt Qin?"

Lu Yuan was just putting on his sheepskin coat when he heard this and before he could explain, Xu Erxiao blurted out, shaking his head:

"It's also a big one..."

Before he could finish speaking, a muffled thud was heard.

Xu Erxiao's buttocks took a solid kick from Lu Yuan.

He covered his buttocks, grimacing as he changed his story:

"She's an extremely beautiful lady! Just like that gorgeous lady from before!"

"They've become incredibly wealthy. Those newly built side halls at Zhenlong Temple were all donated by Aunt Qin alone."

Wang Chengan entered the Taoist temple late and knew nothing of these old stories, leaving him dumbfounded.

"My goodness, there are others as beautiful as that big, red horse?"

Xu Erxiao nodded repeatedly, speaking with great enthusiasm:

"Of course! But Aunt Qin isn't as tall as her, only a little over 1.7 meters, so her figure can't compare."

Lu Yuan, who had just changed into his padded jacket, glanced at Xu Erxiao, who was just over 1.6 meters tall, and found it amusing.

"You're a shorty who's only 1.6 meters tall, and you still have the nerve to say Aunt Qin is 'only' 1.7 meters tall?"

As Lu Yuan tightened the rope around his waist, he couldn't help but complain.

Aunt Qin's height of 1.7 meters is remarkable, especially in a world where people are generally struggling to make ends meet.

Even if she were on Earth in his previous life, she would definitely be considered a tall and outstanding goddess.

And when placed next to this group of malnourished, short-statured goblins, it stands out even more, with a graceful and charming appearance.

"So, Aunt Qin and Brother Lu have a good relationship, right?"

Wang Chengan asked with a curious expression.

Xu Erxiao proudly puffed out his chest:

"Of course, Aunt Qin donated the new hall in our Taoist temple entirely because of our Brother Lu."

At this point, Xu Erxiao looked at Lu Yuan beside him with great curiosity and asked:

"Brother Lu, what's going on between you and Aunt Qin? Why are you so close?"

"When our master asked you to do something for her before, she looked down on you. How come you're such a good friend now that the task is done?"

After changing into his new clothes, Lu Yuan sat down on the ground again and said:

"Cultivate yourself diligently and handle matters conscientiously."

"Stop spouting nonsense. It's time to start your spiritual practice after you've finished eating."

After the eldest brother spoke, Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan immediately fell silent.

The two of them always listened to Lu Yuan's words without question, to the point of almost worshipping him.

Although, in terms of age, Lu Yuan is only one year older than Xu Erxiao and two years older than Wang Chengan.

However, his position as the senior disciple was as secure as Mount Tai among the dozens of disciples of Zhenlong Temple, and no one dared to challenge him.

While his master, an old man who only knew how to drink all day, certainly showed him favoritism as if he were his own son, Lu Yuan's success was largely due to his own hard work and determination.

Of course, there's also a crucial secret...

With the [Exorcising Demons and Eliminating Evil] system at his side, Lu Yuan, at only nineteen years old, had already touched the threshold of the Celestial Master realm.

You should know that in this world, being able to advance to the rank of Celestial Master at the age of thirty is enough to be called a dragon among men, a genius of unparalleled talent.

……

Time slipped away quietly as I sat in meditation.

From noon to 5:30 pm.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long; the sun has long since withdrawn its last rays and sunk behind the western mountains.

In Ningyuan Town at the foot of the mountain, the lights of every household and the bonfires along the streets lit up one after another, like stars scattered on the dark earth.

"Brother Lu, I'm hungry."

Wang Cheng'an clutched his rumbling stomach and opened his eyes with a pitiful expression.

A half-grown boy, eating his father out of house and home.

Lu Yuan himself was the same; he wanted to eat ten meals a day.

"I'm hungry too."

Xu Erxiao immediately opened his eyes and echoed.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan stood up from the ground.

"I'm going down the mountain to buy some food. What would you like to eat?"

Today, they set up an altar and ritual objects around the grave to deal with the zombies, and someone must stay to guard it.

If it gets damaged by some clueless passerby or something else, we'll be completely lost tonight.

This is why Lu Yuan was a little nervous when the beautiful woman and her group suddenly appeared in the afternoon.

If the other side also performs a ritual here, the energy fields and formations on both sides are very likely to clash, and the consequences are unpredictable.

Of course, logically speaking, no one would be going up the mountain at this hour, so it would be better for the three of them to go down the mountain together and have a hot meal.

But rules are rules, and Lu Yuan is a very reliable person.

"I want smoked meat pie, with roast duck!"

"I want extra spicy mutton soup, and I also want a bottle of orange soda!"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"Eat something dry. I'll bring you some mutton soup back. We'll drink it after we've dealt with this zombie."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Xu Erxiao began to ponder again.

However, before Xu Erxiao could finish his thought, a noise came from behind him:

"Master, you are merciful."

Ok?

Lu Yuan turned around and saw a group of black-clad guards appear behind him. This was...

That stunningly beautiful mature woman?

Coming to his senses, Lu Yuan immediately bowed slightly and said:

"May the Heavenly Venerable bestow boundless blessings..."

The man leading the group was Wang Fu, who had brought the sheepskin coats to Lu Yuan and the other two that afternoon.

Wang Fu waved his hand, and a group of people came forward carrying their belongings.

Wang Fu bowed slightly and looked at Lu Yuandao:

"We slaughtered three sheep last night, and the lady, thinking of the Taoist priest, asked me to send over some mutton, mutton soup, and white flour cakes."

Eh?

Lu Yuan was taken aback when the group of people came up and opened the food boxes.

In the last glimmer of twilight, Lu Yuan saw plates and bowls of steaming meat and vegetables.

There are thick steamed flatbreads, milky white mutton soup, glistening boiled mutton, and fragrant roasted lamb chops.

There was also a plate of cold lamb offal salad with chili peppers.

There were even two large bowls, one filled with bright green coriander and the other with tender white scallions, clearly meant to accompany the mutton soup.

"Oh dear, we can't accept this, we..."

For a moment, Lu Yuan waved his hands repeatedly, trying to refuse.

There's nothing wrong with working for your employer and receiving food from them.

The problem is, I haven't done any work for that gorgeous mature woman, so how can I have the nerve to eat her food?

Wang Fu, whose face had been expressionless the whole time, forced a smile and said:

"Madam said that you are Madam Song's beloved nephew, so naturally you are also her beloved nephew."

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

"We have plenty more there. If you feel it's not enough, you can go and add more anytime. The two mountains aren't far apart."

Since things had come to this point, Lu Yuan couldn't refuse any longer.

He wanted to pay, but Wang Fu led his men to put down their things, bowed, and then turned and led his team away, decisively leaving Lu Yuan no chance.

This whole ordeal really made Lu Yuan feel embarrassed.

He turned to look at his side, where Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan were staring longingly at the food box, their saliva almost dripping onto the ground.

Lu Yuan gave a helpless shrug.

"Stop looking, let's get started, now we can have mutton soup."

With Lu Yuan's permission, Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan cheered and each grabbed a large bowl, ready to dig in.

"Huh, this big, sassy centaur is actually pretty good..."

Xu Erxiao had just scooped up a bowl of piping hot mutton soup when Lu Yuan kicked him again, nearly knocking the bowl out of his hand.

Lu Yuan stood there with his hands on his hips, glaring at Xu Erxiao and said:

"I won't hold it against you for calling people 'Big Sassy Horse' before."

Now that I'm wearing a sheepskin coat given to me and drinking mutton soup given to me, what should I call them?

Xu Erxiao was taken aback, then chuckled foolishly and quickly corrected himself:

"A female bodhisattva! It's a female bodhisattva!"

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, too lazy to say anything more.

To be honest, sometimes the disciples of Zhenlong Temple do talk in a rather... inappropriate way.

There was nothing they could do; the disciples of Zhenlong Temple were all selected from many poor families in Fengtian City.

In addition, that old man only knows how to drink heavily and teach martial arts; he doesn't care about anything else.

In terms of quality, they are really not on the same level as a grand temple like Wuqing Temple.

Oh well, we'll take it slow later.

Lu Yuan also sat down and joined the sumptuous dinner.

The three of them devoured all the food in no time.

They lay comfortably on the ground, even unbuttoning their sheepskin coats.

After a whole day of freezing in this icy and snowy place, a bowl of piping hot mutton soup sprinkled with coriander, scallions, and chili peppers was finally devoured.

The warm current rushed from my stomach to my limbs and bones, and I broke out in a sweat.

"Pick up the bowls and chopsticks, and I'll go return them to the person."

After resting on the ground for a while, Lu Yuan got up and looked at Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan beside him.

The two of them quickly got up and clattered as they stuffed the bowls, chopsticks, and other utensils back into the two large food boxes.

Lu Yuan picked up two large food boxes, pondering what auspicious words to say later, and walked towards the direction where Wang Fu and his group had just disappeared.

Lu Yuan had walked a dozen meters and reached the top of the hill. He was looking around, searching for the firelight on the opposite hill, when he suddenly stopped.

He was struck dumb, frozen in place.

Staring at the firelight on the hilltop ahead, where a dense cluster of blood-red characters appeared, Lu Yuan was somewhat bewildered...
