Chapter 158 Cooperation

Yuan Xiaoyao fell silent upon hearing Yuan Muye's words.

She couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. She never expected Yuan Muye would risk coming here for her.

"Yuan Muye, are you telling the truth?"

Yuan Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

"Of course, I am. Otherwise, why would I come here for no reason?"

This question left Yuan Xiaoyao speechless.

After a moment, she said, "Thank you, Yuan Muye. I misunderstood you."

"Don't call me Yuan Muye anymore. You're so young; just call me 'Gege' from now on."

Yuan Muye said casually.

Although this little brat was a vengeful ghost, she was still younger than him, so there was nothing wrong with calling him "Gege."

Yuan Xiaoyao pondered for a long time and said, "I can call you 'Gege,' but if you do something wrong in the future, I'll take it back, okay?"

"Of course."

Yuan Muye replied.

At that moment, the two of them stood at the entrance of Temple King Street, the yin qi pressing down on them in waves.

Yuan Muye began to walk inside.

Yuan Xiaoyao said, "Be careful. I can deal with ordinary vengeful ghosts, but I'm no match for high-level ones."

Yuan Muye suddenly thought of something and said, "Xiaoyao, there's no one else here anymore. You can come out whenever you want; there's no need to hide."

Yuan Xiaoyao had rarely come out ever since she moved into Yuan Muye's Great Fish Sword.

Hearing Yuan Muye say that she could come out, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed and said, "Really? Gege?"

"Of course."

As soon as he said those words, Yuan Xiaoyao emerged from the Great Fish Sword.

Although this little girl was young, she already had the makings of a beauty.

She was quite pretty.

"Let's go, Gege."

Their goal was clear: to reach the main temple of Temple King Street.

Along the way, they encountered some vengeful ghosts, but Yuan Xiaoyao blocked and scared them off.

Naturally, Yuan Xiaoyao's strength was nothing to scoff at; ordinary vengeful ghosts couldn't compare.

Moreover, Yuan Muye noticed that the aura around Yuan Xiaoyao was much heavier than before.

It seemed she was no longer a Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost but had become a Rank 4?

Although Yuan Muye noticed this, he wasn't entirely sure. He was suspicious, but he still asked, "Are you already a Rank 4 Vengeful Ghost?"

Hearing Yuan Muye ask this, Yuan Xiaoyao suddenly said, "Don't you know I'm already Rank 4?"

"And I'm telling you, Gege, I'm not a vengeful ghost; I'm a good ghost, okay?"

Yuan Muye nodded and said, "A good ghost is fine. But haven't you leveled up too fast?"

"What's so fast about it? If I devour a few more vengeful ghosts, I can become Rank 5."

Yuan Xiaoyao said casually.

These words made Yuan Muye's heart stir. If Yuan Xiaoyao could cooperate with him, it would be perfect. He wanted to eliminate vengeful ghosts, and she could devour them. If she grew stronger, she would be a great help to Yuan Muye.

If he had a high-level ghost as his teammate, dealing with ordinary vengeful ghosts would be a piece of cake.

He coughed and suddenly seemed to understand why the system wanted him to nurture Yuan Xiaoyao.

Now that he thought about it, that was probably what the system intended.

"Alright, let's try to get you to Rank 5 tonight."

"I, I won't devour some vengeful ghosts. If they haven't done anything wrong, I can't bring myself to do it."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Yuan Xiaoyao's face.

"That's easy. That's a minor issue. Just devour the vengeful ghosts who have done wrong. There are many vengeful ghosts who have done wrong. If you stay by my side, I guarantee you'll reach Rank 5."

Yuan Muye smiled.

Yuan Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Alright then."

The two of them quickened their pace, but at that moment, a gust of yin wind blew, and a vengeful ghost quickly appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

The vengeful ghost in front of them was a woman, dressed rather seductively.

As soon as she appeared, she started winking at Yuan Muye.

She was trying to flirt with Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye looked at the vengeful ghost and said, "What are you doing?"

These words immediately stopped the seductive vengeful ghost, and she looked at Yuan Muye with a depressed expression and said, "Don't you know what I'm doing?"

"I don't know. Are you itchy on your face? You keep touching your face."

"Negative emotions from Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost +299…"

Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost, interesting. Yuan Muye's expression changed slightly.

But his words clearly angered the vengeful ghost. She suddenly rushed towards Yuan Muye, "Kid, I originally wanted you to enjoy yourself before sending you on your way, but who knew you wouldn't accept a toast? Go to hell!"

The vengeful ghost let out a roar, and she was about to reach Yuan Muye.

But Yuan Muye didn't move.

Instead, he looked at Yuan Xiaoyao.

Yuan Xiaoyao's expression was serious, and she suddenly stepped in front of Yuan Muye.

The next moment, Yuan Muye saw a shocking scene. Yuan Xiaoyao suddenly opened her mouth wide, so wide that it reached the top of her head.

She directly swallowed the Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost.

Without giving the Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost any chance to react.

This…

Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. He had seen people deal with vengeful ghosts, but he had never seen anyone deal with them so fiercely.

She directly swallowed the vengeful ghost whole.

After about a minute, Yuan Xiaoyao spat something out. Yuan Muye looked closely and saw that it was a ghost stone that had fallen to the ground.

A Rank 3 Ghost Stone.

A good item.

Yuan Muye walked over, picked up the Rank 3 Ghost Stone, and put it in his pocket.

Yuan Xiaoyao's expression returned to normal.

Yuan Muye then said, "Have you always been so fierce when dealing with vengeful ghosts?"

"Mm."

After Yuan Xiaoyao finished speaking, she probably felt that what she said was inappropriate, so she added, "I usually don't really do anything."

"Mm, well done."

Yuan Muye smiled.

After Yuan Xiaoyao ate the Rank 3 Vengeful Ghost, her aura was clearly much stronger than before.

But it would probably take a while to reach Rank 5.

"Let's go, let's continue forward."

Because he had been here before, he was quite familiar with the environment. After walking for about ten minutes, the two of them got closer and closer to the location of the main temple of Temple King Street.
