"Corpse oil can taint the sacred duty of the ferryman. It will continuously dissipate our spiritual energy until the ferryman's oil is exhausted and his soul is scattered!"
Hua Mulan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared intently at Li Yang.
"Brother Yang, since you know that Brother Li is being controlled by a vengeful ghost using corpse oil, did you already know about this?"
Li Yang waved his hand, "I didn't know about this. I just did some quick calculations and accidentally figured it out."
Mulan was somewhat disappointed.
Xia Dongqing asked curiously, "Brother Yang, what did you mean when you said that Zhao Li spent all his time hunting geese but was pecked in the eye by one?"
"Was it because he, a ferryman of souls, was defeated by a vengeful ghost?"
Hua Mulan hurriedly tried to save face for Zhao Li, saying, "There are plenty of soul ferrymen in the underworld who can't defeat vengeful ghosts. Many of them are at the level of ghost kings, and the King of the Underworld even needs to send the Underworld Police Force to surround and eliminate them!"
Li Yang smiled and said, "You have no idea how Zhao Li was defeated by that vengeful ghost!"
"The vengeful ghost possessed the corpse of a young and beautiful woman. Zhao Li thought he had her cornered, so he got close to the ghost and started flirting with it!"
"But then a vengeful ghost kissed me, leaving me completely stunned!"
"Because that vengeful ghost smeared corpse oil on the woman's lips!"

Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya were dumbfounded, while Hua Mulan awkwardly turned her head to the side.
Zhao Li's flirtatious manners are widely known in the underworld!
"Brother Yang, let's hurry up and find a way to rescue Brother Li. I'm worried he won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Mulan pleaded.
Li Yang may be joking, but if he doesn't go to rescue Zhao Li, he's afraid he'll really suffer a serious blow.
"Let's go then. Once we rescue Zhao Li, I'm going to make him suffer. The vengeful ghost he kissed was a man!"

Xia Dongqing felt that Zhao Li's image in her mind had been completely shattered, even though he didn't have a good image in her mind to begin with.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Li, who usually appears to be a tough guy, is actually having an ambiguous relationship with a male ghost!
Wang Xiaoya blushed, seemingly lost in thought, and glanced at Xia Dongqing with a strange look in her eyes.
Li Yang said goodbye to his Love Apartment co-stars, and after learning what he was going to do, the others did not join in the fun.
Everyone knows that Li Yang works part-time as a "soul ferryman," and since he has important business to attend to, others naturally won't cause him trouble.
The four of them quickly drove to the entrance of a theater.
“I sensed before that Brother Li was somewhere in this theater!”
Mulan looked at the theater entrance, her eyes filled with both worry and apprehension.
"Brother Yang, can you sense the yin energy permeating the surroundings, and that faint, almost imperceptible demonic aura?"
A clear light flashed in Li Yang's eyes, and he instantly saw different colored mists floating in the air.
These mists are so thin that ordinary people cannot see them with the naked eye, and even soul ferrymen can only sense them.
But Li Yang, this part-time soul ferryman, has a pair of yin-yang eyes that can see qi because Acha opened a back door for him!
The gray mist that filled the air was the yin energy emitted by that vengeful ghost!
But mixed in with the gray fog were wisps of black mist and a strange purple mist, which was the demonic aura that Mulan spoke of!
But whether it was yin energy or demonic energy, it all dissipated rapidly when it approached Li Yang's body.
The ability to be immune to all evil is activated!
"That's interesting. That vengeful ghost committed suicide and had to suffer in the icy hell for three hundred years before it could be reincarnated. It's one thing that its soul has strong yin energy, but this demonic aura is unusual!"
Li Yang felt that things were somewhat unexpected and seemed to be different from the original plot.
"Let's go, Dongqing, let's go in and take a look."
The two had just reached the door when they were stopped by the ticket seller.
"Hey, who are you? If you want to see the play, come back tomorrow. Tonight is the last rehearsal, and it's not open to the public..."
Before the ticket seller could finish speaking, a wisp of orange light emanated from Li Yang's fingertips and instantly merged into the other person's eyes.
The eyes are the windows to the soul, directly connecting us to our spirit!
Li Yang just used the Soul Gem to slightly modify the ticket seller's memories.
"Oh, it's you guys! Hurry up and go in, or the director will yell at you if you delay the rehearsal!"
The ticket seller mistook Li Yang and Xia Dongqing for actors in the theater.
"Brother Yang, what do we do next?"
Xia Dongqing asked cautiously, "I heard it clearly just now. That vengeful ghost came from hell and must be very powerful."
I only feel safe when I'm with Li Yang.
Li Yang immediately deployed his mental network to cover the entire theater, ensuring that nothing that happened there could escape his notice.
A play was being rehearsed in the main hall, and the vengeful ghost playing the female lead was performing with great emotion, seemingly unaware that danger was approaching.
Li Yang not only works part-time as a soul ferryman, but also possesses a soul gem, allowing him to know everything about any soul.
at this time.
He then sensed that something was wrong with the vengeful ghost!
Logically speaking, since the other party had already suffered more than 20 years of punishment in the cold water hell because of suicide, their soul should be very weak!
However, Li Yang discovered that the other party's soul was very strong, even stronger than that of ordinary soul ferrymen.
This is weird!
"Never mind, let's go save Zhao Li first!"
Li Yang led Xia Dongqing around to the backstage area and through a small door into the basement where miscellaneous items were stored.
at this time.
Zhao Li was bound hand and foot to a wooden stake, looking like a small insect caught in a spider web, listless and appearing to have indulged in excessive sexual activity.
Hearing footsteps at the top of the stairs, Zhao Li weakly raised his head and saw that it was Li Yang. His voice was hoarse as he said:
"Li Yang, you son of a bitch, why are you only just getting here?!"
His tone carried a hint of grievance.
Li Yang teased, "Hey, isn't this Lord Zhao Li, the Ferryman of Souls? When did you become so arrogant?"
"Or are you cosplaying here?"
"I'll play with your grandpa!"
Despite his bound hands, Zhao Li bravely raised his middle finger at Li Yang.
Li Yang chuckled, "Not bad, you can still argue with me, and you haven't been killed by that vengeful ghost yet!"
Xia Dongqing rushed over and untied the ropes binding Zhao Li.
Zhao Li leaned weakly against Xia Dongqing, making Xia Dongqing feel very uncomfortable.
"Zhao Li, can't you stand up by yourself?"
"Damn it, I'm so weak, and you're telling me to stand up? Don't you have any conscience?!"
Zhao Li glared fiercely at Xia Dongqing. "Besides, you're not some young maid or young wife. What's wrong with me leaning on you for a while? Are you afraid I'll take advantage of you?"
Xia Dongqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'm actually a little scared. Brother Yang said that the reason you ended up like this is because you kissed that vengeful ghost!"
"Brother Yang said that the vengeful ghost was a man who possessed a female corpse. She smeared corpse oil on her lips and then kissed you, leaving you stunned!"
"Zhao Li, you even kissed a male ghost! I thought you were straight!"
Zhao Li was so angry that he could only roll his eyes.
"Damn it, I'm straight!"
Then he glared fiercely at Li Yang.
"Li Yang, you son of a bitch, how do you know so many details?"
"Did you already know that I was harmed by that vengeful ghost?"
"Why didn't you come to save me sooner? Do you know how I've survived these past three days?"
Li Yang said irritably, "It's just to teach you a lesson!"
"If you encounter a vengeful ghost that has escaped from hell, and instead of going straight for it, you flirt with it, then you deserve this misfortune!"
Zhao Li was somewhat embarrassed and argued, "I never expected him to put corpse oil on his lips!"
"I was right behind him, and I had already pulled out the Soul-Destroying Spear. If he dared to make any sudden moves, I would have shot him!"
"But this guy didn't play by the rules. He turned around and slapped me across the face. The corpse oil completely drained me!"
Li Yang turned his head to look in the direction of the performance hall.
"The rehearsal is over. That vengeful ghost is coming this way; it's probably applying medicine to you!"
Zhao Li was furious with the vengeful ghost!
"Damn it, when I first came to him, I thought that since he hadn't committed any major crimes in his life, even though he escaped from hell, his crimes were aggravated and he would have to suffer in the cold water hell for six hundred years, I was thinking of pulling some strings to reduce his sentence by a few years!"
"And he dared to scheme against me!"
"It's only because I'm weak right now, otherwise I'd kill him!"
"Li Yang, you avenge me! Beat him to a pulp! How dare he attack the Ferryman of Souls! I'll imprison him in the Frozen Hell for a thousand years!"
Li Yang curled his lip. "I'm not interested in sleeping with men, but I am quite interested in this vengeful ghost. He's no ordinary person!"
While talking.
The vengeful ghost, which was originally far away, had already arrived at the stairwell in a few flashes and saw Li Yang and his group.
"Who are you?"
The vengeful ghost stood at the top of the stairs, staring at Li Yang with suspicion and uncertainty.
He sensed a strong sense of crisis emanating from this man!
The yin energy emanating from him was rapidly dissipating because he was too close to the man, like an ice block near a blazing furnace.
Zhao Li sneered, "Kid, you're finished. This isn't just any ferryman of souls; he's a prince of our underworld..."
"Are you Li Yang?"
The vengeful ghost stared at Li Yang in shock.
[Happiness percentage +1%]
Even he had heard of Li Yang's name in the Cold Water Hell!
Some time ago, he was being punished in the Cold Water Hell, but the King of Hell decreed that the vengeful ghosts punished in the eighteen levels of hell should rest for three days!
It is said that this pardon was granted because Li Yang pleased Hades!
It was precisely because of these three days that the defenses of the underworld were relaxed, which allowed him to escape from hell.
The vengeful ghost scrutinized Li Yang closely, then suddenly realized, "With a face like yours, it's no wonder you won the favor of the King of the Underworld!"
"It's a pity, though. With such a unique advantage, if you were to perform on stage, you would surely become a star... but now, you're just a gigolo kept by Hades!"
Li Yang was furious.
"You're the gigolo! Your whole family are gigolos!"
The vengeful ghost touched its face, then suddenly remembered that it had been resurrected by a female corpse, and sighed.
“If I really looked like you, maybe he wouldn’t have left me back then… We would have broken through societal prejudices, bravely been together, and maybe even adopted two children and started a real family!”
Li Yang rolled his eyes. "I'm not interested in your love story. What I'm curious about is that you're just an ordinary vengeful ghost."
