Chapter 187 Starving Ghost

At this moment, a man holding his stomach sat down in a seat next to them. His female companion complained, "I thought you fell into the latrine and was going to ask the flight attendant to rescue you. You went to the toilet as soon as you got on the plane and stayed there for ages. I let you eat ice cream, and you ate two of them. How come you didn't die from diarrhea?"

"I'm not hungry."

"Even if you're hungry, you can't just eat cold food. You can eat something else."

"Okay, okay, I'll have the shredded chicken."

"You—you have an upset stomach and you still eat such greasy food? I think you've lost your mind!"

But the man didn't care; he just opened a bag of shredded chicken and wolfed it down.

Yu Xiaoluo didn't look at them, but she could hear their conversation. She was smiling when Bao Shuoyu said, "You've got business."

Just as she was about to ask, she turned her head and caught a glimpse of a thin, old ghost perched on the man's neck, its mouth agape as it devoured food.

She understood why this man had such a large appetite.

Yu Xiaoluo asked Bao Shuoyu to switch places with her so that they could be closer to each other.

She looked at the man whose eyes were filled with only greedy appetite and said, "Hey, uncle, do you feel like you can never get enough to eat?"

The man paused, looking at Yu Xiaoluo. "Yes. How did you know? Are you a doctor?"

Yu Xiaolu shook her head. "I'm not a doctor, but I can cure your illness. Uncle, your face is dark, you have a constant appetite, and you feel weak and powerless. It's like you haven't eaten anything. If this continues for another three days, I'm afraid you might not live."

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into a tirade, "You young girl, how dare you curse people like that? I was just taking him to see a doctor over there. There's a famous doctor there who's very skilled at treating this kind of illness. Don't keep spouting nonsense; you can't cheat us out of our money."

But the man ignored what the woman was saying, put away the shredded chicken he was holding, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and looked at her pleadingly, "How did you know?"

Yu Xiaoluo smiled faintly, "Do you feel a chill in your neck and a heavy feeling in your right shoulder right now?"

The man carefully felt it, and sure enough, it was sour, heavy, and cold. He was also extremely hungry and felt uncomfortable all over. He felt like he was going crazy.

"Yes, yes, Master, how did you know?"

"Because there's a ghost lying there, and it's eating the chicken in your hand."

He trembled, and the chicken fell to his feet, but he didn't care about anything else. He unbuckled his seatbelt and knelt down with a thud. "Master, Master, you must save me, you must save me."

Now that she had encountered him, Yu Xiaoluo was not going to stand by and watch him die, and the man's attitude seemed sincere as well.

"Get up. Since you've met me, it's your destiny to survive," Yu Xiaoluo said calmly. Then, with a flick of her finger, a starving ghost appeared.

The people here have already noticed this, because their conversation is indeed quite disjointed.

Now, upon seeing a ghost, everyone was so frightened that they rushed to economy class. Only a few brave souls stayed behind to watch the spectacle, and the woman screamed in terror.

Her voice attracted the flight attendant and the passengers who were watching the commotion. When the flight attendant saw the ghost, she was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do.

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Several of Yu Xiaoluo's fans were still looking for her autograph. As soon as they saw the ghost and heard what she said, they excitedly picked up their phones. "My Master Yu is going to catch a ghost again! Although we can't go online, we can record a video first. As soon as we get to the station, I'll post the video. Hehe."

"Hey, I'll take the picture first, don't try to take it from me."

"Master, you go and catch the ghost first. After you're done, I'll ask you for your autograph, hehe. You have to sign it for me, okay? Mwah!"

As fans of Yu Xiaoluo, although we didn't see any ghosts at the scene, it was still quite frightening at first glance. However, their tolerance for ghosts is much better than that of others, and besides, a ghost-catching master was right beside them.

So at first they were a little scared, but when they saw Yu Xiaoluo smiling and saying, "I'm here for you," they were instantly no longer scared at all.

Old Ghost felt a little uneasy seeing so many people staring at him, but he was a ghost, after all, and couldn't be afraid of people, otherwise being a ghost would be too pathetic.

He let out a loud scream, and his mouth opened wider and wider, so wide it seemed to devour the man's entire head. The man, terrified, nearly died, tears and snot streaming down his face. "Master, please save me!"

Yu Xiaolu casually tossed a can of beverage aside. Old Gui took a bite, crunching it loudly. The metal shell was like eating fried beans to him. He chewed it a few times and then swallowed it, not a drop of the juice spilling into his mouth.

His mouth was still muttering, "I'm going to eat you all, eat you all, I'm going to eat the airplane too, eat it, eat it—"

Everyone was shocked by this scene, followed by fear. Even Yu Xiaoluo's fans were uneasy, after all, they were now in mid-air.

After finishing the can, he said to the man next to him, "I want to eat chicken, if you won't give me any, I'll eat your head!"

After saying that, she opened her mouth wide, wanting to bite the man. Yu Xiaoluo stopped joking and flew out a talisman, sticking it on the old ghost's forehead. The old ghost instantly stopped moving. With another flick of her finger, the old ghost fell off the man.

The man's intense hunger vanished instantly, and he ran like lightning to Yu Xiaoluo's side, feeling safe only when he was next to her.

Yu Xiaoluo quickly calculated and found out the old ghost's fate in his previous life. "Old ghost, in your previous life, you were abused by your son and starved to death at home. This is also your karma. You spoiled your son to an extreme degree and beat or scolded your daughter. After that, your daughter left you and never wanted to see you again. She never came home. As for the son you spoiled, he developed a lot of bad habits. He was good for eating, drinking, whoring, and wasting money. He was good for nothing and would beat or kick you."

"Therefore, a pitiful person like you must have something hateful about him. After you die, you become a starving ghost with an insatiable appetite. Your mind is filled with nothing but hunger and food. You use other people's bodies to satisfy your appetite."

"Don't you know you're going to kill someone?"

Old Ghost cried, tears streaming down his face. "I don't want to hurt people, but I can't control myself. I'm so hungry, so hungry—Master, please save me—I don't want to do this anymore."

"Considering that you haven't killed anyone yet, I'll take you to the underworld to face judgment."

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master." Old Ghost kowtowed to Yu Xiaoluo with profuse thanks.

So Yu Xiaolu lit a cigarette and asked the King of Hell to send someone to take this starving ghost away.
