Anna suddenly screamed.
Xu Hao quickly turned his head, only to find a ghost behind him with a crimson tongue over a meter long.
He quickly reassured Anna, "These are all fake, that tongue is just made of plastic."
Feeling embarrassed, Anna stuck out her tongue and said, "Brother Hao, am I too cowardly?"
Xu Hao chuckled, "You need to learn to overcome your fears. This way, the next time you see these things, just punch them and drive them away."
As for compensation, Xu Hao didn't care. He lacked everything but money.
The two had not walked much further when a headless ghost drifted towards them.
"Ah! I'm going to drive you away!"
The most up‑to‑date version is on *.
Anna shouted and threw a punch at it.
The ghost's performer was instantly dumbfounded. What the hell, this woman's crazy, why is she hitting me?
He quickly dodged and rapidly fled the scene.
"Yay! I drove away a ghost!" Anna exclaimed with delight, her eyes slyly looking into the distance as she charged forward, swinging her little fists.
Elsewhere in the haunted house.
A Hanged Ghost and a Starving Ghost were drifting about.
The Hanged Ghost said, "Big brother, are we just doing this to scare Anna to death?"
"Of course not! I heard from the boss that we just need to scare Anthony's daughter sick, and then the master's disciple will come to cure her," the Starving Ghost explained.
"Scare her sick and then cure her? Why? And how can we be sure that she will come to this haunted house?"
"Just don't ask if you shouldn't! Damn it, I'm not our boss, how would I know so much? Remember, our goal is to scare her sick, but don't lay a finger on her!"
Just then, they saw Anna, who was running around and screaming everywhere.
"Damn, this girl must have been scared out of her mind, right?"
"Better if she's insane. Let's go over and make her even more frightened!"
The Hanged Ghost and the Starving Ghost immediately drifted toward Anna.
"I am so hungry—I'm going to eat you—"
They let out what they thought were the most terrifying sounds.
But Anna was not the slightest bit scared and instead yelled, "Take my Universe Invincible Punch!"
One punch landed on the head of the Starving Ghost, caving in his mask.
"Wow! I actually felt that punch land! The other ghosts I hit felt empty!" Anna was surprised. Most of the "ghosts" here were controlled by machines, with only the odd few being portrayed by people.
The Hanged Ghost was scared stiff, thinking that this girl really was crazy. With the task apparently over, he immediately planned to flee.
But just then, Xu Hao appeared behind them like an apparition, his voice chilling as he said, "Gentlemen... I've been waiting for you here, for five hundred years…"
The two were so frightened they tried to bolt, but they hadn't run far before Xu Hao grabbed them. They were caught like little chickens and carried to a corner.
Xu Hao threw them heavily onto the ground and said coldly, "Tell me everything you know!"
The two had already been scared out of their wits, with Xu Hao's strength killing any thought of escape.
The Hanged Ghost quickly pleaded, "Big brother, spare our lives, we are just following orders, nothing but errand runners."
Xu Hao snorted, "I heard your conversation just now. Why harm Anna? Who's behind this?"
After exchanging glances, the two spilled everything they knew to Xu Hao.
Hearing this, Anna angrily said, "Hmph! This is too much! They actually dared to trick me! Can't someone have a good time? I just went out for a spin a few days ago and got attacked, and now this happens today!"
Xu Hao patted her head and smiled, "Those were just a bunch of clowns, not to worry. If I'm not wrong, the master they mentioned must be the Miaojiang Sorcerer your father talked about. To avoid exposure, he let his disciple do the deed. Their purpose is probably to Cast a Gu on you to control you."
"Hmph! They are so mean, I didn't provoke them!" Anna pouted and crossed her arms in anger.
Xu Hao laughed, "No worries, if they dare to show up, I'll cut them down. As for these two, I'll teach them a lesson so they won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of their lives."
The two showed a look of terror and hurriedly tried to flee, but Xu Hao kicked out like lightning, and with a muffled groan, they passed out.
Anna patted her chest in relief, stuck out her tongue, and said, "That was close, so lucky Brother Hao is here."
Because of this incident, Anna lost the desire to continue playing.
Back at the hotel, after learning what happened, Anthony was furious, "Those bastards, they're getting too much, to think they can bully me, Anthony?"
When Xu Hao returned to his room, he was surprised to find that Chen Suyi had come along with her!
