I just became a Purple-robed Celestial Master and a Thousand year old Fox spirit wants to enter my bridal chamber

Chapter 20: I’ve Seen People Being Exploited, But Never Seen Ghosts Being Exploited!

Zhang Beixuan gave the girl an astonished look but didn’t refuse.

“Alright, since that’s the case, I’ll ensure you keep your life.”

Zhang Beixuan nodded. Initially, he hadn’t planned to pay much attention to Zhou Mingyue. After all, he wasn’t a saint. Since she had boarded the ghost bus, whether she could survive depended on her fate.

After saying this, Zhang Beixuan walked directly onto the bus and found an empty seat to sit down. His words left Zhou Mingyue dumbfounded and bewildered her live chat for several seconds.

“What the heck! Did I hear correctly? Did the Taoist priest just say he would save her life?”

“What’s going on? How did we end up talking about life and death? Could it be that there are ghosts on this bus?”

“Is it possible? But the way the Taoist priest looks doesn’t seem like he’s joking… Streamer, maybe you should run?”

Zhou Mingyue’s face turned pale in just a few seconds. Run? But if she missed this bus, she would have to wait for over half an hour, and finding a taxi in this rainy weather wasn’t easy. She looked at Zhang Beixuan, who had casually taken a seat without a hint of nervousness.

Zhou Mingyue gritted her teeth. She followed suit and boarded the bus. A cold breeze blew through the bus, making it feel like the air conditioning was set to an extremely low temperature. It sent shivers down her spine, raising goosebumps all over her body. She glanced at the passengers inside the bus. There were both men and women, but they all had one common trait: they were all eerily looking down, their clothes drenched as if they had just been pulled out of the water.

Zhou Mingyue shuddered and quickly returned to the seat next to Zhang Beixuan. The bus started to move slowly.

In a calm voice, she asked Zhang Beixuan, “Elder… What did you mean earlier? Is there really a ghost on this bus?”

Zhang Beixuan casually nodded, “Yes.”

Seeing Zhang Beixuan’s confirmation, Zhou Mingyue’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. “Elder, don’t scare me. I’m easily frightened.”

Ding dong—

Before Zhang Beixuan could reply, Zhou Mingyue’s phone suddenly displayed a top news alert.

“Emergency Reminder!”

“Half an hour ago, our city’s Bus 444 suddenly went out of control and plunged into the river in Jiangbei.”

“On the bus, thirteen passengers, including the driver, were killed on the spot. Relatives are requested to come for identification.”

Bus 444! Bus! Plunged into the river!?

Zhou Mingyue stared wide-eyed at the message on her phone and thought about the earlier wet stains on the passengers’ clothes. She felt a chill run down her spine, and her long, shapely thighs tensed up. She even felt the urge to use the restroom.

Darn it! This entire bus is really full of ghosts!

“Don’t panic, Streamer! We still have the Taoist priest! He clearly knows they’re ghosts from what he said earlier!”

“Yes, yes! The Taoist priest must know. Look at how calm he is! He can definitely catch the ghosts!”

Many viewers tried to console Zhou Mingyue. Seeing these comments, Zhou Mingyue felt slightly reassured.

Right! She still had the Taoist priest. However, just as she regained her composure, she noticed that Zhang Beixuan, sitting beside her, had closed his eyes at some point.

Zhou Mingyue: “???”

It’s already at this point! How can he fall asleep?

“Elder… wake up.”

Zhou Mingyue pushed Zhang Beixuan lightly, trying to control her fear. Zhang Beixuan, appearing somewhat annoyed, opened his eyes.

“What’s wrong?”

“Elder… aren’t you going to catch the ghosts?”

“Why the rush? My ghost-catching powers won’t get the bus to its destination. Who’s going to drive for me?” Zhang Beixuan rolled his eyes.

“You really don’t know the value of a good driver until you’re without one. I’ve already paid the fare. I can’t waste it.”

“What the heck! Elder, do you even know what you’re saying? ‘Who’s going to drive for me after I catch them?’ Such a miraculous statement!”

“Darn it, I finally started feeling scared, and the Elder’s words ruined the atmosphere!”

“Elder, I’ve seen people being exploited but never seen ghosts being exploited!”

Even Zhou Mingyue couldn’t help but find this response a bit baffling. This Taoist priest was certainly audacious. Her initial fear had dissipated. After all, since she was already on the bus, there was no point in being afraid if the Taoist priest wasn’t scared, either.

With this in mind, Zhou Mingyue felt more relaxed. The number of viewers in her live chat was increasing rapidly. Many people were curious to see what would happen after they learned she had boarded a ghost bus. Some new viewers didn’t know the backstory until her regular viewers explained it. This influx of viewers added excitement to the livestream.

“Is the Elder going to perform a ghost-catching show for us later?”

“Is this real or just a scripted show? Streamer, don’t deceive us! Unless you have the Elder start now!”

“Yes, start now! If it’s real, I’ll donate to the Streamer!”

“+1”

“+10086”

As the comments flooded in, everyone wanted to see Zhang Beixuan catch ghosts. Zhou Mingyue couldn’t help but feel torn. She cautiously held her phone up to Zhang Beixuan. “Elder… look at this.”

Zhang Beixuan naturally saw the dense barrage of comments and the numerous gifts, which made his eyes light up. In just a short while, Zhou Mingyue had earned several thousand yuan.

“I can start now if you agree to one condition,” Zhang Beixuan said meeting Zhou Mingyue’s gaze.

Zhou Mingyue’s face turned red, and her heart began to race. She tightened her long, shapely thighs and stammered, “Elder… What do you want?”

“Never mind,” Zhang Beixuan replied, refusing her proposal. “I want half of tonight’s livestream earnings. If you agree, I’ll fulfill your request.”

Zhang Beixuan was direct in his approach. After all, he had a task, and whether he solved it sooner or later didn’t matter. Plus, he could earn a few extra thousand yuan while at it.
