Looking at Jiang Baixuan's unusual expression, Ye Xiu chose to ignore it and asked, "Are there classifications for ghost levels? The ghost we encountered earlier couldn't even match the one you released?"
Jiang Baixuan patiently explained, "The one we encountered just now was a Spirit Ghost level. Generally, the Demon level is divided into ghosts and spirits. Compared to spirits, ghosts are practically nothing. Ghosts are further divided into Evil Spirits, Fierce Ghosts, and Spirit Ghosts. Spirits are categorized as malevolent spirits, Evil Spirits, and Ghost Spirits. However, there are very few ghosts in the world today, and most of them are wandering souls with combat abilities inferior to a Con Artist. The existence of Evil Spirits is already rare; even fewer are Fierce Ghosts, while Spirit Ghosts can be considered the kings of ghosts! As for spirits, they are almost nonexistent!"
Jiang Baixuan asserted, "It’s impossible for them to exist! Because knowledge of spirits is only passed down through family lore. A single Ghost Spirit can destroy a city, and an Evil Spirit can take on a sect leader without being easily defeated."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiu felt small in the face of this sudden shift in his understanding of the world.
Jiang Baixuan then asked, "So where did you discover that Spirit Ghost just now?"
Ye Xiu sighed, "I didn't expect you to overlook your goddess and get straight to the point. Well done!"
"Stop messing around; just take me there."
Ye Xiu led Jiang Baixuan to the restroom at the end of the corridor, with Summer Mo following behind them.
Jiang Baixuan looked at the shattered glass on the floor and seemed to understand something instantly.
Turning to Ye Xiu, she asked, "Did that Spirit Ghost come out from here?"
"Not bad for someone from a ghost-raising family; you noticed that right away."
Jiang Baixuan was speechless; anyone could see it. The entire restroom was fine except for this spot where the mirror was shattered and a hole was exposed in the wall.
"Did you break this mirror?"
Ye Xiu suddenly realized something and scratched the back of his head with an embarrassed chuckle.
"This mirror is a seal meant to contain that Spirit Ghost. But this method is quite careless; it’s like..." Jiang Baixuan paused before continuing, "like someone deliberately wanted others to break it!"
"Such a simple trap, and yet someone fell for it. What a talent!" Jiang Baixuan shot a glance at Ye Xiu and immediately added, "Sorry, buddy, it's not you."
Ye Xiu was inwardly cursing Jiang Baixuan.
Summer Mo also looked at Ye Xiu with a disdainful expression.
"What are you looking at? I'll exorcise you!" Ye Xiu joked.
However, once Summer Mo realized that Ye Xiu was completely useless, she no longer felt afraid.
With a mischievous grin, Summer Mo transformed her face into a terrifying ghostly visage and lunged at Ye Xiu.
"Sis, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't be mean to you anymore!" Ye Xiu instantly changed his demeanor to one of submission.
"Good, now that's more like it!"
Jiang Baixuan, standing off to the side, could only shake his head. If someone as adorable as Summer Mo could bully him, it was clear just how much of a pushover he was...
"The Spirit Ghost we just encountered has already been eliminated, and my combat power isn't what it used to be. Although there aren't as many Demons around, we still need to be cautious," Jiang Baixuan said carefully.
After asking the adorably innocent Summer Mo for her autograph, he turned to leave.
But Ye Xiu felt like he had forgotten something important.
That's right! The ghost girl!
Ye Xiu looked at Summer Mo, feeling troubled.
Although Summer Mo would not harm herself, now that she was aware of her own strength, how could she not end up bullying herself?
Turning around, Ye Xiu looked at Summer Mo with a flattering expression and said, "Um, big sister, where are you planning to go later?"
Summer Mo tried hard to put on an air of superiority, completely viewing Ye Xiu as a servant. She then pretended to be serious and said, "This goddess is going to..."
Just as she began to speak, Summer Mo couldn't maintain the act any longer; it turned out she still didn't know anything at all.
Ye Xiu watched the adorable Summer Mo switch between two different personalities and couldn't help but smile genuinely.
"How about I find you a place to stay? Just as long as you don't scare anyone with your antics."
"Mm-hmm," Summer Mo quickly nodded, returning to her original personality.
Ye Xiu thought of the luxurious hotel he had stayed at before. Since he was currently living at school, that place was just sitting empty. With half a year left, he figured it wouldn't hurt to use it.
So, Ye Xiu took the seemingly genuine ghost girl to the hotel.
Ahem...
Upon entering the room, Summer Mo's eyes sparkled with excitement as she gasped in awe.
"Wow, this place is so luxurious; it's like a villa. No, this is a villa!"
Ye Xiu casually sat on the sofa and pointed to several empty rooms, saying to Summer Mo, "There are so many rooms; feel free to choose any one you like."
Summer Mo quickly nodded and began to dart between the rooms.
Since ghosts are spiritual entities, they can ignore the physical realities of touch.
After a moment, Summer Mo chose the room right next to Ye Xiu's bedroom.
Once Summer Mo made her choice, Ye Xiu headed back to his own room.
It wasn't too late yet; he could have returned to the dormitory to sleep. However, after experiencing such a terrifying event with that Spirit Ghost, even someone with Ye Xiu's abilities would feel apprehensive. Not to mention that Ye Xiu currently had no strength at all.
Ye Xiu decided to stay at the hotel for the night and would go to work in the morning.
He lay on the soft, plush bed, enjoying the comfort.
However, after a long time, Ye Xiu found it hard to fall asleep.
There was always a shadow drifting around.
And whenever it stopped drifting, a figure with long hair would suddenly appear from any corner of the room—the ceiling, under the table.
For Ye Xiu, who had just begun to adapt to the presence of ghosts, it was still difficult to completely ignore it.
Finally unable to take it anymore, Ye Xiu sat up and spoke into the air, "Hey, don't you ever need to sleep?"
Suddenly, a low murmuring voice came from behind him: "Who are you calling 'hey'? We're about the same age."
Clearly, Ye Xiu had already grown accustomed to such unusual occurrences behind him and was not frightened at all.
Summer Mo seemed full of energy as she replied, "I'm not sleepy at all."
Ye Xiu looked at Summer Mo with dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Can I sleep for a bit?"
Summer Mo floated in the air with an adorable expression, resting her chin on her hands, staring at Ye Xiu without a word.
It was as if she was saying, "Go ahead, sleep. I'll watch you."
With no other choice, Ye Xiu decided to ignore the ghostly girl and pulled the blanket over himself.
Summer Mo disregarded the blanket's presence and burrowed in beside him.
"My dear sister, you're a girl after all. This is probably a man's bed; can't you show a little modesty?"
Upon hearing Ye Xiu's words, Summer Mo's face flushed, and she floated away.
...
In June now, it wasn't hot. The stars twinkled in the night sky.
