Seemingly sensing Xia Linyin's gaze, the female ghost lying on Wang Ming's back suddenly turned her head ninety degrees to look at Xia Linyin.

Blood flowed from his eye sockets, two dark red streams of blood sliding down his pale cheeks, and a fat maggot wriggled in the empty eye socket.

A fat maggot, about the thickness of a little finger, poked half its body out of its eye socket, wriggling like an earthworm.

It's Miss Wang!

It was the female ghost they encountered in the capital who threw her head like a bridal ball!

She actually followed them here, and even climbed onto Wang Ming's back!

"I'll wait for you my foot! I carried a dried corpse and I didn't even complain about being tired! What are you tired of!" The fat man's voice came from above.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I feel so heavy, I can't move at all, it's really weird!" Wang Ming complained.

"Shut the hell up!" the fat man said impatiently. He glanced down at Wang Ming and then yelled, "Damn it! Wang Ming, you have a female ghost on your back!"

Wang Ming shuddered, feeling a chill run down his spine upon hearing the fat man's words. He nearly fell off the chains. He swallowed hard, "Fatty, you...you're scaring me..."

The fat man ignored him and sped up, climbing desperately upwards.

"Fatty! Fatty!"

Wang Ming's teeth chattered, his hair stood on end, and the chains in his hands vibrated incessantly as if they were on vibrate mode.

"My lord~"

The eerie voice, carrying a chilling aura, drifted into Wang Ming's ears.

Suddenly, the tone changed, and the disheveled female ghost shrieked sharply in Wang Ming's ear, "Why did you run away! Why did you run away! Don't you want to marry me?"

A cold, ghostly claw gripped Wang Ming's neck. "Men are all the same, as expected!"

Wang Ming's face turned red from being pinched by the ghost's claws. He grabbed the chain with one hand and threw the red bellyband at the female ghost with the other.

The red light emanating from the red bellyband struck the female ghost once, twice, but she remained tightly entwined around Wang Ming.

The female ghost tightened her grip, letting out a sharp, ghostly wail that sounded like a curse: "Die!!!"

"Help—help me..."

With a hoarse sound escaping his throat, Wang Ming's hands could no longer support him and slipped off the chains, causing him and the female ghost to fall to the ground together!

"ah!!!"

As Wang Ming fell, he was quickly engulfed by a dense swarm of venomous snakes and carrion beetles. His pitiful screams before he died seemed to indicate that he was enduring unbearable pain, which was terrifying to behold.

Xia Linyin's lips trembled. She couldn't save Wang Ming and could only watch helplessly as he fell. The female ghost's glance at her before pulling Wang Ming down was cold and venomous, as if saying, "You're next!"

Xia Linyin felt incredibly cold, a cold that emanated from within, caused by the fear in her heart. She gripped the chains tightly, a desperate will to survive sustaining her as she continued to climb upwards.

Hurry! Faster!

She didn't want to fall!

Wang Ming's pitiful screams before his death still seem to echo in my ears, telling me how much pain he was in!

"Sister, just leave me."

Xiao Li's voice rang in her ears. For a moment, Xia Linyin wanted to throw the person in her arms away, but when she saw Xiao Li's calm face, the cruel words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't say them no matter what.

What must Xiao Li have gone through to be able to say those words so calmly?

He knew perfectly well what a horrific sight lay below!

If you fall in, you'll be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind!

Hold me tight! Don't let go!

A resolute glint flashed in Xia Linyin's eyes, and in that instant, she seemed fearless. If she wasn't afraid of such a small child, what did she, an adult, have to fear?

Almost there! Almost there!

"Sister, that female ghost is catching up," Xiao Li suddenly said.

Xia Linyin turned her head and saw the female ghost's pale claws gripping the chain, a hideous ghost face peeking out from behind her messy hair, chasing after her up the chain she was climbing.

Xia Linyin's eyes were filled with a fierce determination. She sped up with all her might, feeling as if her blood was boiling at this critical moment.

No more fear! No more cold!

She will live! She definitely will!

"Sister, the female ghost is still thirty meters away from us."

"Twenty-five meters."

"Twenty meters."

"Fifteen meters."

Xia Linyin felt that the courage she had finally mustered had vanished after Xiao Li's prompting, and she wanted Xiao Li to shut up!

But she was so tired that she couldn't even speak!

She had initially felt hopeful as she watched the chains nearing their top and was ready to climb them in one go, but then Xiao Li's calm yet tormenting voice told Xia Linyin that the female ghost was getting closer and closer to her without her even turning around. She was approaching her at a despairing speed, and panic and fear washed over her again.

"Ten meters."

Five meters.

"Sister, the female ghost is right behind you."

Xia Linyin couldn't help but close her eyes. She had already climbed this high; if she fell, she would probably die instantly!

"Sister, the female ghost has fallen down."

Huh? Xia Linyin glanced down and saw that the female ghost was indeed falling.

"My jade pendant has the power to ward off evil spirits, but now it has fallen down with the female ghost. Sister, hurry up and leave, or the female ghost will catch up with us again," Xiao Li explained.

Xia Linyin withdrew her gaze and continued climbing. When she reached the top, she was almost exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Fatty and Matchmaker Li had disappeared without a trace, but their direction could be determined from the footprints on the ground.

Xia Linyin glanced at Xiao Li's waist and, sure enough, saw that the ring-shaped jade pendant hanging there was gone.

She didn't dare linger, and after carrying Xiao Li on her back, she followed the footprints of the fat man and the others.

"Sister, the female ghost is here."

Hearing Xiao Li's words, Xia Linyin took a deep breath and put him down. She flipped her palm and a blood-red high heel appeared in her hand.

The female ghost hung her head, blood dripping down her cheeks and onto the ground. She glanced at the high heels in Xia Linyin's hand, then at Xia Linyin again, before grinning and quickly floating towards her!

Xia Linyin gripped the high heels with both hands and swung them at the female ghost like she was hitting a golf ball!

As if hitting a cloud of mist, the high heel passed right through the female ghost's body.

However, when the female ghost was hit by the high heel, she swayed twice like a reflection in the water.

At the same time, the female ghost let out a shrill scream.

The female ghost tore off her own head, and blood gushed from the severed wound. Her body and head sandwiched Xia Linyin from the front and back.

After slapping her body, Xia Linyin slapped her head, spinning around like a top.

Clearly! Clearly, the female ghost's body was almost completely destroyed by her!

But after a while, the translucent body returned to its original state!
