Who Let Him Cultivate?!

Chapter 299: Chapter 298 Ex-Father_1

“Ex-father,” meaning the father from his past life, is a new term unique to Li Haoran.

Yanyan went out to travel the world, seeking opportunities to form the golden core and further comprehend life’s mysteries, and striving for breakthroughs in her mental state.

She had only passed a few counties, decided to stay in a dilapidated temple for a night, and met with such a thrilling event.

After being persuaded by her mother for a month, Yanyan was planning to accept this father with no blood relation when she encountered such an incident.

This is not what understanding the world is all about.

“Wait, Yanyan! Let me explain!” Li Haoran was somewhat panicked. In good conscience, he was really here to catch ghosts. He hadn’t got any useful information yet when he was caught red-handed by Yanyan.

The Central Continent is so large, how could he be stumbled upon by Yanyan?

Was this the causality entanglement between Father and Daughter?

The female ghost in white robe also sensed something wrong and tried to escape. Li Haoran used his Capture Technique, from solid to void, and from void back to solid. Between the alternation of void and solid, he pinned the female ghost to the ground.

This was a technique that Li Haoran learnt during refining, and now, with a slight adapt, it serves well in catching ghosts.

Pitted against each other, the female ghost posed no match for Li Haoran at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

“I received a mission from the Sect, and came here with Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng to catch ghosts!” Li Haoran quickly explained. If Yanyan took this misunderstanding to Su Yiren, he might as well not take over Qin Yuanhao’s memory and directly move on to the tenth life.

“Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou?” Upon hearing what her ex-father said, Yanyan remembered these two geniuses from the Seek Dao Sect.

One is the Sect Leader’s disciple, and the other is the heir to the Meng family, both more credible than Li Haoran.

“Yes, they are both in the next room, and they’ll be able to prove my innocence!” As Li Haoran spoke, he used the Soul Lock Chain with refining abilities to bind the ghost in a white robe to a load-bearing wooden pillar, and then went to find Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

Yanyan followed Li Haoran to search for the two, albeit with doubt and suspicion.

Li Haoran pushed the door open in a rush, speaking fast enough to scare anyone, “Brother Lu, you must prove I am innocent. We are here to catch ghosts, aren’t we? Since you haven’t sent any signals, the ghost shouldn’t have come up here…”

Before he could finish his words, he saw Lu Yang with a strange smile on his face, dragging a ghost in a green robe who was resisting but to no avail, showing a look of despair, being at the mercy of Lu Yang.

This scene doesn’t look like the work of a gentleman.

“Senior Brother Lu, you…” Li Haoran stuttered, not expecting Lu Yang to be this kind of person.

Seeing this scene, Yanyan felt Li Haoran was making excuses, which made her furious, “You dare say you are here to catch ghosts?!”

“Let’s go and see Senior Brother Meng, I bet he is diligently catching ghosts!” Li Haoran was sure there wouldn’t be any issues with Meng Jingzhou. After all, a Single Body Spiritual Root might produce desires, but lacked the physical body to fulfill them.

Then Yanyan saw a female ghost in a red robe unconscious, with Meng Jingzhou squatting beside her carefully observing.

“Date rape?!”

Yanyan was shocked. It seems each ghost-catching method was more thrilling than the other.

By comparison, Li Haoran seemed to be the most conservative player.

Li Haoran: “…”

Why every time he comes out with Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Meng, he never gets into anything good? Last time he got an unmarried wife who was two thousand years older and a daughter with no blood relation to him, and he became the former master of one of the Four Great Devil Sects.

When he needed them to prove his innocence this time, the two made such commotions.

“Nonsense, who said I drugged her? Don’t you know I’m a Single Body Spiritual Root?” Meng Jingzhou said in rage, turning around to see who was so blind.

“Oh, niece, are you here looking for your father?”

Facing Meng Jingzhou who emanated the aura of the Golden Core realm, Yanyan reminded herself repeatedly that she couldn’t win against him.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang finally tamed Fairy Eternity, regained control of his body, and came searching for Li Haoran and Meng Jingzhou with the ghost in green.

After the three of them showed the mission assigned by their sect and Meng Jingzhou revealed his Single Body Spiritual Root status, Qin Yanyan finally believed that they were there to exorcise ghosts, not soliciting prostitutes.

The ghost in green that Lu Yang carried shook in terror. These three were from the Seek Dao Sect, one of the Five Great Immortal Sects.

Everyone gathered in the main hall, where Li Haoran bound the still-shivering ghost in green, and the unconscious ghost in red, next to the ghost in white.

With that, all three female ghosts were now captured.

“So, you’re saying that the Seek Dao Sect issued a ghost-capturing mission, and you came to Guhuai Town to complete that sect mission?” Qin Yanyan was mostly convinced by the trio’s explanation.

Qin Yanyan still didn’t know that her father from her previous life was a reincarnation of the Nine Nether sect.

Li Haoran obtained the memory fragments of Qin Haoran after Su Yiren and Qin Yanyan had left. This event would be difficult to explain to Qin Yanyan.

Li Haoran certainly couldn’t tell her that her dad was a demon sect leader in his past life, no good at all.

This would completely shatter their father-daughter relationship.

“What about you? Why did you come to Guhuai Town?”

“My mother told me that I went to your house last time and started a quarrel, acting too impetuously. She said I needed to improve my state of mind. Given that it was about time for me to form my golden core, she suggested I go out, travel, and polish my mind. So, I did.”

“Today, during the day, I was in Shoutian County. I spent all my savings strolling around the trading company. There were no free inns in Shoutian County. So, I had to move northward. When I saw the ancient temple here, I thought about staying there overnight. So, I came.”

Li Haoran was extremely concerned about Qin Yanyan’s travel experience.

In a few more days, Qin Yanyan might have to start performing on the streets to earn a living.

“Fo-four heroes, we are ghosts, but we have never harmed human beings!” The ghost in green pleaded innocence.

They were very careful in absorbing Yang Qi, not causing any trouble, because they feared attracting righteous cultivators.

But in a bad twist of fate, the one they feared the most came. And this time it was the Seek Dao Sect, the strongest among the righteous ones.

It is said that the righteous cultivators loathed demons and ghosts and would kill them on sight.

Did they have a chance to survive in their hands?

“Never harmed humans?” Meng Jingzhou scoffed. “The mission clearly stated that you absorb humans’ Yang Qi, causing them to be listless and in a daze all day. Are you telling me all that’s a lie?”

The ghost in white was on the verge of tears. “It is really not true. We are very careful while absorbing Yang Qi, only absorbing a small part of it so as not to influence people. Furthermore, our absorption of Yang Qi has been registered with the mayor.”

“We also know that absorbing too much will affect humans. Who would come next time if we do so? We understand the principle of not draining the pond to catch all the fish.”

“Wait a minute, the mayor knows about this?”

“Not just the mayor, all travelers in town can be witnesses!” The ghost in white swore confidently.

Lu Yang and the other three were baffled by the words of the ghost in white.

“It’s true. We didn’t cheat you. Just now, the three of us sisters went to every inn to knock on doors, asking if they needed service. We had just completed a round of service and got back when we saw three heroes lying in the temple. The three of you had very abundant Yang Qi, so we thought of absorbing some of your Yang Qi as the conclusion of the evening.”

Lu Yang: “???”

You’re offering door-to-door service?!

The ghost in white embarrassedly said, “Comprehensive service retains returning customers.”

Qin Yanyan was even more shocked than Lu Yang, is this what it’s like in the mortal world?
