School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 990: Chapter 1074: Calling Back Shi’er’s Soul

”If you don’t want to die, leave.”

Chen Nan glanced at Hua Xian’er and rushed in the opposite direction of the footsteps.

The layout of the houses in this ancient city is almost identical to that of the Dead City. Chen Nan clearly remembers that in the center of the Dead City, there’s a hall, and inside the Stone Coffin in the hall, there are several ancient corpses who have formidable strength and follow his command.

Without a doubt, the hall is the center of the Dead City.

Chen Nan speculates that since the Ghost Realm ancient city’s layout is almost the same as the Dead City, its center is likely similar too.

The heavy footsteps behind them were getting further away, seemingly not pursuing any further.

Chen Nan dashed through the streets at high speed toward the city center.

Hua Xian’er followed closely behind him.

Chen Nan glanced back at her: ”What are you doing in the Ghost Realm, why are you following me?”

Hua Xian’er said nothing and just kept close behind him.

”Woo woo...”

Suddenly, the shrill cry of evil ghosts came, and a group of wandering spirits surged toward Chen Nan and the others.

These evil ghosts are not formidable characters, so Chen Nan unfolded the Dual World protection and charged straight through. He vaguely sensed that the truly formidable beings in this Ghost Realm were hidden inside the houses along the streets.

Just like in the Dead City, those powerful ancient corpses also took shelter inside the buildings.

All along the way, numerous vengeful spirits and evil ghosts lunged toward Chen Nan, but they were all blocked by his Dual World.

In this Ghost Realm, the ghosts that roam outside are relatively weak, as the truly powerful evil ghosts have secured their dwellings, so Chen Nan would never push open the doors to these houses along the street.

The journey was unimpeded, and ten minutes later, Chen Nan arrived at the center of the Ghost Realm ancient city.

This place was identical to the Dead City, with a hall standing there, and outside, there was an open area resembling a square. Chen Nan rushed straight toward the hall.

However, Hua Xian’er stopped in her tracks, sensing danger inside the hall.

Chen Nan did not enter the hall. When he reached the entrance, he leapt up and onto the roof of the hall.

This Ghost Realm ancient city is so large that searching every part might take a year without finding Shi’er’s soul. Only by summoning in the city’s center could it be done simply and quickly.

”Shi’er, where are you?”

Chen Nan didn’t know any summoning techniques, so he shouted from the rooftop.

Below, Hua Xian’er sneered: ”Foolish!”

Chen Nan glanced at her and asked, ”What are you doing in the Ghost Realm?”

”Ghost Grass,” Hua Xian’er said coldly.

Ghost Grass!

Chen Nan frowned, remembering that the woman in red had also instructed him to bring back a Ghost Grass.

Glancing at Hua Xian’er, Chen Nan asked, ”Do you know any summoning techniques?”

”Whether I do or don’t, what of it?”

Chen Nan knew she harbored deep hostility towards him and hadn’t taken action purely because of the old Skull ghost’s influence, so he said with a smile, ”If you can use summoning techniques to help me find her soul, I will tell you where the Ghost Grass is. A fair trade, deal?”

Hua Xian’er furrowed her delicate brows and locked eyes with Chen Nan, asking, ”Do you know where the Ghost Grass is?”

”Yes!”

Chen Nan nodded, ”So, will you do it or not?”

After hesitating for a moment, Hua Xian’er used the Wind Soaring Technique to fly to the rooftop, staring at Chen Nan, ”If you dare lie to me, I’ll make sure you have no burial place!”

Chen Nan shrugged and gestured for her to proceed.

Hua Xian’er opened her Magic Space, took out seven black Magic Flags, and flicked them into the air. Instantly, the seven Magic Flags floated around her and started spinning rapidly as she began to chant a series of incantations.

”Is she called Shi’er?” Hua Xian’er asked.

Chen Nan nodded and said, ”Her surname is Bai, Bai Shishi, from the Fox Clan.”

Hua Xian’er continued to chant magic spells, and the spinning Magic Flags increased in speed. She shouted loudly, ”Fox Clan Bai Shishi!”

Suddenly, spectral soul shadows from all directions flew in, entering the space between the Magic Flags.

A moment later, the seven Magic Flags stopped spinning, and three fox-like spirit shadows floated beside Hua Xian’er.

”There are three Fox Clan Bai Shishis, identify them yourself.”

Chen Nan quickly stepped forward and looked at the three fox spirits before him, feeling overwhelmed. If it were the human form of Shi’er, he would definitely recognize her, but he couldn’t tell which of the fox souls was Shi’er.

After all, Shi’er’s body had been completely refined into a human form, and Chen Nan had never seen her fox form.

”You can’t even recognize her?” Hua Xian’er sneered.

Chen Nan said nothing, stepping into the space surrounded by the Magic Flags; among the three fox souls, the one in the center immediately lunged toward him, and though it was just a shadow, it nestled tightly in his arms.

”Shi’er, is that you?” Chen Nan asked.

”Young Master Chen... no, big brother, it’s me.” A weak soul fluctuation.

Seeing her so weakened, Chen Nan’s heart ached, and he said, ”Big brother will take you home.”

Shi’er nodded forcefully.

Though she was only a soul body, without flesh, Chen Nan seemed to see tears in her eyes.

After a brief exchange, Chen Nan confirmed this was indeed Shi’er’s soul. He quickly took out the Soul Nourishing Gourd given by the old man and collected her soul into it.

Hua Xian’er regarded Chen Nan with cold eyes, asking, ”Where’s the Ghost Grass?”

”Sorry, I’m also searching for the Ghost Grass myself,” Chen Nan replied.

”You’re courting death!”

Realizing she had been deceived, Hua Xian’er brandished her Magic Wand, prepared to strike Chen Nan.

Chen Nan quickly jumped off the rooftop, pointing inside the hall, ”Don’t rush, as I suspect, the Ghost Grass is within.”

Hua Xian’er landed on the ground, glancing at the hall, ”But I sense danger inside.”

”You can’t catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den,” Chen Nan said as he strode toward the hall entrance, ”Since you helped me find my sister’s soul, I won’t break my promise to you; if there are Ghost Grass inside, I’ll bring one out for you.”

Watching Chen Nan’s retreating figure, Hua Xian’er hesitated momentarily before stepping forward to follow him.

The hall was empty inside, unlike the Dead City, where a Stone Coffin stood. After scanning the hall, Chen Nan headed towards the rear door, with Hua Xian’er following closely.

Behind the hall was an expanse of open grassland, and at its center, three black stalks of grass stood out starkly.

These three stalks were not only much taller than the surrounding grass but also emitted an unusual energy wave, the aura of death.

”This should be the Ghost Grass.”

Without saying a word, Hua Xian’er immediately dashed at high speed toward the three Ghost Grass, reaching out to seize one.

(I have something to do in the afternoon, so I’m updating two Chapters concurrently. As for the explosive update, since I’ll be attending an author’s salon in early next month and won’t be able to write for five days, I’m currently stockpiling drafts. There won’t be explosive updates for a short time. In mid or late next month, there will be an explosive update with over ten Chapters.)
