Chapter 1006

Ye Yu, who was in the demon realm, sneezed heavily

achoo

Who’s thinking of me?

I’ve sneezed so many times today!

He rubbed his nose and continued flipping through the ancient tome in his hand

As a ghostly being, he had come to the demon realm for two reasons

First, although his method of harvesting negative emotion points yielded quick results, it carried hidden risks

If someone held a grudge and targeted his family, that would be disastrous

Besides, why would ghosts torment other ghosts? It made more sense to go plague someone else

Second, Ye Yu wanted to learn more about the gods

He had already encountered the God of Inner Demons in the Demon Realm more than once—truly powerful

If the God of Inner Demons existed in the Divine Realm, what about the Sea God he had seen before? Was his true form also in the Divine Realm?

And what was this Demon Realm, then?

The Sea God he saw at the Divine Sea Assembly was definitely not a projection but a ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) real entity

Though his whereabouts in reality were unknown, Ye Yu hoped to get lucky here

If given the chance to meet again, he would uncover his true nature

With these two factors in mind, Ye Yu had come to the demon realm and was studying ancient texts in a nearby demon city

After a moment, Ye Yu’s eyes suddenly sharpened and he turned to look to his left

He saw a man over twenty feet tall, unbelievably muscular, standing there silently

“Allow me to introduce myself, I am Shi Chengyi, city lord of Cloud Demon City, disciple of Yi”

“What I’m curious about is, how did you, a mere underworld ghost, break the formation barrier of the city lord’s mansion, bypass so many guards, and come here?” he asked

Hearing this, Ye Yu calmly returned the ancient tome in his hand to the shelf and pulled out another

While reading he said “Most demon formations are rather crude. The outer defenses around a city lord’s mansion are especially flimsy—cracking them is as easy as flipping one’s hand”

“As for those demon guards outside, aren’t they just for show?”

Shi Chengyi cracked a smile as he watched Ye Yu browse the books without a hint of resistance

He even offered “What type of book are you looking for? Shall I help you find one?”

“There’s no need,” Ye Yu replied, “I’ve pretty much read all the ancient texts here. It’s time I left”

He snapped the tome shut, shoved it back onto the shelf, then took two steps forward and stared at the Demon King–level powerhouse before him

This demon was unusual—he exuded a chaotic aura as if his entire form were enveloped in black mist, concealing the depth of his strength

Ye Yu asked curiously “Are you planning to detain me?”

Shi Chengyi folded his hands behind his back and, after a moment’s thought, shook his head

“You’re an interesting ghostly being. I have no intention of fighting you—for now. But next time you come, don’t be so silent. Just send someone to announce you”

Ye Yu’s expression turned strange

“Huh, nowadays there are demons with such magnanimity?”

“Quite rare!”

“You’re too good-natured for your own rough appearance!”

Ye Yu shook his head slightly and walked out, his form turning into a streak of black light as he vanished in an instant

Unbeknownst to him, after he left, Shi Chengyi finally relaxed and exhaled a puff of gray mist

Yes, gray

To be fair, Shi Chengyi was by no means an easy demon to get along with, and there was a reason he had shown such forbearance toward Ye Yu

Two days earlier, he had accidentally ingested a rare divine herb, only to discover its effect came with forty-nine days of weakness

During that time, his strength was almost nonexistent

That was why he had not struck Ye Yu down immediately

Under normal circumstances, Shi Chengyi would never have chatted so long—he would have blasted Ye Yu with a lightning cannon at once

Now... his pretended generosity didn’t feel so bad after all

But what puzzled him was why a ghostly being would come to his demon city to pore over ancient texts

It made no sense

Curious, Shi Chengyi stepped forward and picked up the two books Ye Yu had just returned

Both concerned legends of the divine race

This fellow... was he hoping to become a god?

Shi Chengyi’s expression grew serious. For some reason, he felt that Ye Yu’s ambition was not mere fantasy

Perhaps one day it could really be achieved

If a ghost could become a god, why couldn’t he?

In his heart, a door to a new world seemed to open

As he pondered, he suddenly felt an itch in his hands. Looking down, he realized the two books had turned to ash, falling into his palms in an eerie green powder

Itchy... so very itchy!

Shi Chengyi began scratching frantically

Only then did he notice a note at the bottom of the shelf

This time, he dared not pick it up with his hands; instead, he leaned forward to read

On it was written in small characters

“You think you’re so high-class, reading the same books as me without shame? But don’t worry, it’s just some Super Itchy Powder, will only itch for ten hours, endure it!”

After reading, Shi Chengyi let out a roar of anger toward the sky

Meanwhile, on a cloud above the demon city, Ye Yu took a deep breath and gained 3,980 negative emotion points

Tsk tsk tsk

these little gadgets sure are effective!

Since arriving in the demon realm, Ye Yu had collected all sorts of strange items

Whenever the time was right, their power could be immense

Take this Super Itchy Powder, for example—its long duration meant he could harvest negative emotion points for an extended period

All he had to do was wait

But if there were prank items, why not prank techniques?

With a sudden inspiration, Ye Yu sat upright

Perhaps this was a new direction!

At thirty-two, Ye Yu had reached the early Ghost King Realm!

In just two short years, the great demons of the demon realm all knew that a ghostly fellow from the Underworld had arrived—

He neither killed demons nor stole anything, he simply disgusted them!

Once a demon city lord lost his patience and set a net of divine formations to catch him

But instead of killing the ghost, he became the victim!

That city lord was treated like a toy and tormented for three days

He went insane!

Thus the name Ghost Six spread, terror incarnate!
