Drowned Ghost Commanded by a Ghost

The night passed without incident.

Lu Siye and Fang Lanyue spent the entire night cultivating.

It wasn't until morning that Fang Lanyue reluctantly hid inside the Spirit Nether Jade Disc to avoid the sunlight.

Before going in, Fang Lanyue, with a hint of grievance, pleaded with Lu Siye not to put the jade disc back into the suitcase, as she was afraid of the dark.

Lu Siye readily agreed verbally, but after Fang Lanyue entered the Spirit Nether Jade Disc, he immediately put it into the suitcase and stored it in his system space.

He was joking, of course. How could he possibly miss any opportunity to squeeze out Fear Points?

Lu Siye left the rental apartment in good spirits and headed to the snack street outside the residential area, planning to buy some rice noodle rolls and soy milk for breakfast.

It was nearing the morning rush hour, and when he arrived at the rice noodle roll shop, it was almost full, with only one empty table left.

"Boss, three orders of rice noodle rolls, with two eggs and two sausages each, and two cups of freshly ground soy milk," Lu Siye, with over two million in his account, called out generously.

Previously, he would only add one egg or one sausage, but now he was adding four ingredients at once, drawing envious glances from the shop's employees.

"Coming right up!" the boss replied with a smile.

Before long, the rice noodle rolls were ready. The boss skillfully prepared them, cut them onto a long plate, and drizzled them with his secret sauce.

Placed before Lu Siye, the aroma immediately wafted towards him, stirring his appetite.

He pulled out disposable chopsticks from the holder and began to devour the food.

Suddenly, Lu Siye felt a shadow fall over him. He bit off a piece of rice noodle roll, swallowed, and looked up.

It was a young couple, and the mother was holding a chubby child who clutched a White Rabbit Candy in his hand.

"Brother, would you mind if we shared this table?" the young father asked politely.

"Oh, oh, no problem!" Lu Siye nodded and moved his plate and soy milk a little closer.

"Thank you!" the young father said.

He took out a tissue, wiped the chair next to his wife clean, and only sat down after his wife had settled in.

"Boss, two orders of rice noodle rolls, one with egg and sausage, and the other with just egg," the young father called out to the boss.

"Hey! Please wait a moment, it'll probably take a few more minutes," the boss responded, placing Lu Siye's two orders of rice noodle rolls down and then saying to them with a slight apology.

"Ah, please make it quick then!" the young father said after glancing at his watch, a hint of anxiety on his face.

Lu Siye noticed his expression and then looked at the other two orders of rice noodle rolls. He pushed both plates towards them and said, "If you don't mind, please eat first. I'm not in a hurry and can wait."

"How could we possibly impose?" the young father said, scratching his head sheepishly.

"It's fine, you eat! Oh, and this cup of soy milk can be for the child," Lu Siye added, moving a cup of soy milk over and waving his hand dismissively.

"Then we're truly grateful, brother!" the young father said, his face lighting up with joy.

"Lele, quickly thank brother!" the young mother said softly to the child.

"Thank you, brother! Here, this is for you!" the child said in a milky voice, and then he proactively offered the White Rabbit Candy in his hand to Lu Siye.

Lu Siye took the candy, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth, exclaiming with an exaggerated expression, "Wow! It's so sweet, thank you Lele!"

"Giggle giggle~" The child burst into laughter at Lu Siye's exaggerated reaction.

The couple also smiled, thinking to themselves how they had met a kind person this morning.

After eating their fill, the couple left. Before they departed, they even paid for Lu Siye's meal.

Lu Siye only found out about this when he finished eating and was about to leave. By then, they had already been gone for a long time.

Back in the rental apartment, Lu Siye opened the Town Demon Suppression Mall and exchanged twenty more Blood Replenishment Pills. Then, he practiced his swordsmanship and Qinggong for a while to aid digestion, before continuing to cultivate the fourth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill.

As it neared noon, there was a knock on the door. Upon opening it, he saw people from the furniture store arriving to install a bathtub.

He led them to the bathroom, and after the two workers busied themselves with clanging sounds for about half an hour, the bathtub was installed.

Before leaving, Lu Siye handed each of them a bottle of Ice Cola, watching them depart with a smile.

Returning to the bathroom, he looked at the bathtub he had longed for, now right beside him, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Back in the living room, Lu Siye continued to cultivate until past nine in the evening, when he had finally depleted his supply of Blood Spirit Pills.

After finishing his cultivation, Lu Siye looked around the empty room and felt like he had forgotten something.

It wasn't until he was about to experience the joy of a bath and went to the closet to get clothes that he remembered Fang Lanyue was still stored in his system space.

He quickly took out the suitcase, retrieved the jade disc, and tapped it gently.

With a flash of white light, Fang Lanyue appeared on the bed, still groggy and looking at Lu Siye with confusion.

It turned out she had fallen asleep inside the jade disc. No wonder the system had been quiet all afternoon, making him forget about her existence as a ghost.

However, the Spirit Nether Jade Disc was truly a good item. After spending a whole day inside it, Fang Lanyue's Yin energy had become noticeably denser, and her strength had also improved significantly.

"Ahem! I'm going to take a bath first. If someone knocks on the door later, remember to help me get the delivery," Lu Siye said.

At this moment, he felt more and more like a capitalist, first exploiting Fang Lanyue's emotional value and now her labor value.

"Okay!" Fang Lanyue responded drowsily, still not fully awake from her sleep.

Lu Siye took his clothes to the bathroom. The water in the bathtub was about eighty percent full.

After turning off the faucet, he turned and hung up his clothes. Just as he took off his shirt and was about to take off his pants, his face suddenly darkened.

Lu Siye, bare-chested, squatted beside the bathtub. Looking at the clear bathwater, his expression was grim.

"Fourth Master, I just wanted to take a nice bath. Do you have to come looking for death at this time!"

He suddenly punched into the water. When he raised his hand again, he was already holding a slippery, foul-smelling water ghost.

[Drowned Ghost is startled and uncertain, how could this be? How did he discover me? Fear Points +88!]

[Drowned Ghost is terrified, impossible! How could I be caught by a Night Patrol Envoy in the water? Unless he's not a Night Patrol Envoy, but a Night Wanderer Envoy!!! Fear Points +99!]

[...]

"Speak, did the Net send you?" Lu Siye's palm gradually tightened, deforming the Drowned Ghost's neck.

"Spare... spare my life! I don't know what the Net is. A Big Head Doll sent me." The Drowned Ghost's eyes rolled back as he was choked, and he quickly begged for mercy.

Another Big Head Doll!

"What did it tell you?" Lu Siye pressed.

"It... it said you are only at the Night Patrol Envoy realm and are severely injured, so it sent me to... to..." The Drowned Ghost dared not continue.

"Hmph, it told you to kill me, didn't it!" Lu Siye snorted coldly, making the Drowned Ghost tremble.

[...]

"Yes... yes, but this wasn't my intention. I was forced by..." Ah~

Before the Drowned Ghost could finish his plea, a powerful suction erupted from Lu Siye's hand, rapidly draining the Yin energy from its body.

"Die! I want you to die!" At this moment, the Drowned Ghost's eyes were filled with hatred. It knew Lu Siye wouldn't let it go. Rather than wait for death, it was better to fight back in its final moments.

"With you?" Lu Siye looked at the Drowned Ghost's desperate posture. He shook his hand holding its neck, directly scattering the Yin energy within it and cutting off any possibility of counterattack.

A few dozen seconds later, the Drowned Ghost was completely drained. After being reported to the Town Demon Suppression Division, Lu Siye punched it into dust.
