CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 414: RETURNING TO ANLI CITY_1

Yan Furong asked, "Can you control yourself?"

Yan Chen looked at his hands, as if they were filled with infinite strength.

For this power, he had committed the cruelest act imaginable against human morality—eating people, eating ghosts.

Chu Hao had pushed him to this. He wanted revenge. He wanted Chu Hao to suffer eternal damnation.

"Still under control. Let’s go."

Yan Chen leaped up, soaring more than twenty meters high, and landed steadily on the shore of the lake.

Yan Furong looked at Yan Chen and nodded. "This power is very strong, and it’s easy to lose oneself in it. From now on, as long as you’re not brain-dead, you can keep resurrecting by consuming the flesh of others. However, before that, you need a large number of souls to stabilize your sanity."

Yan Chen nodded and asked, "Sister Rong, what’s the end result for those who cultivate this Evil Technique?"

Yan Furong answered seriously, "Doomed for eternity."

Yan Chen’s expression turned fierce, his face nearly contorting as he said, "Doomed for eternity, huh? All of this is because of you, Chu Hao. I’ll make you understand what it means to be tormented with a pain thousands of times worse."

「Three days later, they finally walked out of the forest and saw a highway.」

Another day passed, and finally, they were back on the edge of the city. Su Muyue had returned, and she learned a piece of news—Su Changyu had also returned to the Su Family.

Su Changyu was dead. He had been possessed by the Ghost Offering Clan. She had to bring back this news immediately; otherwise, the Su Family would be deceived by the Ghost Offering Clan.

Ji Ba left as well. That mysterious person from the Chu Family had already transferred the bounty into his account, and the foreigner was very pleased.

Ji Ba said, "Brother Hao, do you want to come to Europe and America with me? The chicks there are really something."

Chu Hao gave him a glance and said, "Goodbye. And pass on my thanks to the client."

Ji Ba laughed, "No problem."

Chu Hao had learned that this mysterious client of the Chu Family lived over in Europe and America.

It seemed this person had always been paying attention to events in Huaxia. They had only recently learned that Chu Hao was a descendant of the Chu Family, which was why they had sent Ji Ba to protect him.

As for Ji Ba, his skills were indeed very good, basically among the top mercenaries.

Ji Ba returned as well.

Chu Hao hitched rides all the way back to Anli City. His clothes were torn and ragged, looking every bit the beggar.

A little girl, tugging at her mother’s sleeve, said, "Mommy, that beggar looks so pitiful. Let’s give him some money, shall we?"

The girl’s mother said, "Don’t look. He might be a fake beggar. These days, young people don’t learn anything useful and instead want to play beggar—no ambition."

Chu Hao was somewhat speechless. Is this how you teach your child? No wonder this world is so full of malice. He was preparing to go to a mall to change his clothes. He reached into his pocket, but his card was gone, so was his wallet, and his ID had disappeared too.

During the escape, they were probably left in the Ancient Tomb.

But this couldn’t stump Chu Hao. Seeing the little girl’s mother belittling him, he said, "Big sister, I see darkness on your forehead, foretelling a disaster of blood."

The mother, upon hearing this, became immediately furious and said, "You’re the one with a disaster of blood! Your whole family has a disaster of blood!"

Facing such an abusive young woman, Chu Hao had a million and one ways to subdue her. After all, Brother Hao was just that awesome.

Chu Hao looked at her features and said, "Wood element with Water. Your life force is very strong. But recently, hasn’t your home been affected by a new presence of Fire? Water and Fire are incompatible. Wood and Fire conflict. It looks like you’re in for a disaster of blood indeed."

The young woman didn’t believe a word, thinking this was the kind of talk you hear from swindlers in the streets.

Chu Hao added, "If I’m not mistaken, your surname is Qin and your given name is Lanxi. You also have a little boy at home, and he is a twin with this little girl—a Dragon and Phoenix Twin."

The young woman was astonished and asked, "How do you know that? Have you been following me?"

Chu Hao waved his hand and said mysteriously, "Then I will tell you something else that no one knows. You and your husband haven’t been intimate for a year. Do you know why?"

DING. Host gains 900 Pretentiousness Points for being mysteriously pretentious.

Chu Hao chuckled to himself. Think Brother Hao can’t deal with you, little lady?

The young woman was thoroughly shocked. How did Chu Hao know about this too?

The young woman asked anxiously, "He... Has he got someone else?"

Chu Hao stretched out his hand without saying a word.

Getting the hint, the woman took out five hundred yuan from her bag and, with a changed attitude, said, "Master, please speak."

"Go home and use a willow branch to whip your husband three times. He’s been bewitched by something unclean, and that unclean thing is associated with the Fire element. If I’m not mistaken, she should be a nemesis of your husband’s, and her name should contain ’Jiao’."

The woman immediately knew who it was.

Jiao Tiantian, her husband’s first love, said to have died in a car accident.

"Thank you, Master Chu, for your guidance," said the woman, her complexion somewhat pale. She was seventy to eighty percent convinced.

With five hundred yuan in hand, enough for the return trip, Chu Hao grinned. Making money is far too easy for me nowadays.

Just then, not far from the bus station, a police officer approached, calling out, "Hey, you! A fake beggar trying to get money from my aunt? Give it back!"

However, when the officer saw Chu Hao, he was visibly taken aback and said, "You... You’re Chu Hao? Master Chu!"

The police officer was none other than Qin Zhengyu.

Chu Hao was speechless. He had just had a fortune-telling encounter with a relative of an acquaintance. This is a bit awkward. Is my effortlessly cool nature about to be exposed?

Qin Zhengyu said excitedly, "Chu Hao, what are you doing here?"

Chu Hao replied irritatedly, "Just got back from out of town."

Curious, the young woman asked, "Xiao Yu, do you know this person?"

Qin Zhengyu, still excited, said, "Auntie, this is Master Chu, the one I’ve told you about."

The woman was delighted and said, "You’re Master Chu? You really do look so young."

Yet, her expression was odd. Why does Master Chu look so unkempt? And why is he going around telling fortunes?

Chu Hao didn’t care about the gazes of strangers. He did things his own way; that’s just how awesome he was.

Qin Zhengyu quickly explained, "The thing is, my aunt came all this way just to seek help from Master Chu. I came to the bus station to pick up my aunt, and what a coincidence that you two met first."

So that’s what it was. It really is quite a coincidence.

Qin Zhengyu said, "This isn’t the place to talk."

Chu Hao nodded. He had been thinking of hitching a ride back, and since he had encountered an acquaintance, it seemed like a good idea to catch a lift.

Qin Zhengyu smiled and said, "Auntie, you and Tongtong head back first. I need to take Master Chu out for a bit to help him clean off the dust of his journey since he’s just returned."

This kid, ever since becoming a cop, sure learned to speak formally.

The aunt nodded and replied, "Alright."

After the aunt and Tongtong got off the bus, Qin Zhengyu asked excitedly, "Brother Hao, where have you been? You’re so capable, how did you end up looking so disheveled?"

His curiosity was immense, just like when they first met. Back then, he had been troubled by a little ghost, and Chu Hao had taken that ghost on a mission. Overcome with curiosity, Qin Zhengyu had followed them.

Chu Hao said with a grim face, "Knowing too much isn’t good for you."
