On the other side, the man simply stopped hiding and floated alongside Li Muchen.
Li Muchen also saw through the other party's true colors completely. Not only could he teleport, but he could also float in mid-air and had no shadow.
Ghosts really do exist in this world!
At this moment, the door to a new world was completely opened for Li Muchen.
He was terrified, but he stubbornly pretended to be calm, while his feet kept running forward.
But the road ahead seemed endless, so long that it made Li Muchen feel irritable.
"Can you get out of my way?! You're so annoying!"
Li Muchen waved impatiently at the ghost beside him, his voice trembling with obvious sobs.
Although he usually seems cool, arrogant, and powerful, he is ultimately just a teenager.
He had never believed in ghosts or gods, but when he encountered one for the first time, he was inevitably frightened!
"I'll leave if you let me cleanse you of all your resentment," the ghost said matter-of-factly, crossing its arms.
He is still very reasonable.
Moreover, he calmly watched Li Muchen, who was already panting heavily from running, and couldn't help but feel tired for him.
Li Muchen, however, completely misunderstood what he was saying and said impatiently:
"I harbor no resentment; go find someone else to reap the harvest from!"
Ah Piao chuckled and said, "You really underestimate yourself. The resentment emanating from you is exactly what we need."
Li Muchen was completely unaware that he was already consumed by resentment.
The main reason he harbored resentment was his inexplicable hostility and prejudice towards Xiao Xinyan.
Without realizing it, he had become someone else entirely.
She was like a complaining woman every day, feeling that nothing was going well and that all the bad things were caused by Xiao Xinyan.
So whenever he sees other members of the Li family treating Xiao Xinyan well, he feels a little resentful. Gradually, the resentment accumulates, and now he is a vessel for the growth of resentment.
It's like a petri dish specifically designed to cultivate resentment.
If it weren't for the need to keep him in the human world to collect resentment, the ghost would have simply taken him and the resentment away in one fell swoop, without bothering to waste so much breath on him.
"You're crazy! You're the one who's full of resentment, your whole family is full of resentment!"
Li Muchen cursed at the ghost in a completely annoyed manner and continued to run forward desperately.
"This kid is so stubborn! Since being gentle won't work, I'll have to try a tougher approach!"
The ghost grumbled, and a wisp of black energy emerged from his palm. The next second, the black energy transformed into a sharp blade.
Ah Piao gripped the sharp blade tightly and caught up with Li Muchen once more.
Holy crap!
Li Muchen glanced back and found the blade, emitting black smoke and wreathed in red light, to be terrifying.
"Help! Help! Are there any police officers patrolling around? Someone, please help me!"
At this moment, Li Muchen completely disregarded his dignity and image and began to shout for help.
The ghost seemed afraid that his shouts would actually attract the attention of the patrolling police, so it reached out a hand to Li Muchen, covered his mouth, and pushed him to the ground.
"Bang--"
Li Muchen's head slammed directly onto the hard cement floor. He felt his mind go blank for a moment, and then it started buzzing, as if he had suffered a concussion.
The ghost's hand had moved from Li Muchen's mouth to his neck, and suddenly, a feeling of suffocation came over him.
Li Muchen's eyes turned bloodshot in an instant.
Suffocation, discomfort, near death...
"Help!"
With all his might, Li Muchen uttered those two words from the deepest part of his throat, and then he closed his eyes in despair.
Although he was unwilling, it seemed that his wonderful life, which had not yet officially begun, was about to come to a complete end today.
but……
Just when Li Muchen thought he was about to die, the force gripping his neck suddenly disappeared.
Huh?
Li Muchen was stunned for a moment, then cautiously opened his eyes and saw a guy in a black cloak grab the ghost by the neck and lift him up easily, as if he were a chick.
The ghost showed obvious fear, its eyes wide with disbelief.
Li Muchen looked at the black-clad creature with a blank expression, who had managed to subdue the ghost in a second.
Who is this dark-skinned creature?
His face was completely obscured because the hood of his cloak was so large that it covered his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
A low voice came from under the hat, carrying obvious contempt and mockery:
"You've got some nerve, daring to cause trouble during the Ghost Festival. Do you really think I'm neglecting my duties?"
As he spoke, he slightly tightened his hands, which were exceptionally pale in the night, and heard the ghost let out an extremely shrill scream. After struggling desperately for a few seconds, it completely turned into a wisp of black mist, which dissipated with a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
Wow!
This dark-skinned guy is pretty formidable!
Li Muchen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. Just then, a sweet, milky scent entered his nostrils. He unconsciously sniffed. The scent was familiar and very pleasant.
A soft, fluffy little dumpling suddenly appeared out of nowhere, trotted over to his side, and asked with concern:
