Catching Ghosts as Head of Yin Department-Chapter 568 - 666: Searching for a Mate

"Have you been lying to me all along?" Mo Lin questioned the white-haired ghost.

"Not entirely. The Wind-Calling Talisman is real. Without it, you can’t leave here.

The Mirror Beast is also real.

The Nether Marriage is real, and there’s genuinely a Ghost Temple outside."

The white-haired ghost retorted to Mo Lin, "Aren’t you curious about how the people outside know about this place?

For example, how do they know there’s a secret to immortality here?"

Mo Lin immediately understood, "It was you, spreading rumors outside, wasn’t it?"

Even if Mo Lin were foolish, he would have guessed the truth.

"That’s right, you’re really smart," the white-haired ghost praised Mo Lin.

Of course, to Mo Lin, this was complete sarcasm.

If Mo Lin were truly smart, he wouldn’t have been tricked into coming here.

"Come in."

A seductive female voice rang out.

An invisible force pushed Mo Lin into the palace.

Right in front, there was a golden lounge chair.

This golden chair was engraved with numerous beautiful designs.

A woman lay sideways on the chair, dressed in a splendid outfit, holding her face with her right hand.

Her face was strikingly beautiful, flawless, and her eyes held a special allure.

Her pink eyelashes were exceptionally long, at least three centimeters, and her pink hair draped to the floor.

The woman stared intently at Mo Lin.

Her gaze was captivating, making one feel as if their soul was being drawn away at a glance.

Mo Lin deliberately avoided meeting her gaze.

Mo Lin looked to the left and suddenly saw a familiar figure.

This bald man was too familiar to Mo Lin.

Wan Foli.

Unexpectedly, he was here too.

Wan Foli saw Mo Lin and angrily shouted, "You aren’t interested in the secrets of becoming an immortal?

Why are you here?"

Mo Lin did not understand why Wan Foli treated him with such hostility.

It was as if Mo Lin was an enemy.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Lai Huang Immortal, my real name is Huang Qi," the woman introduced herself to Mo Lin.

"I am one of the Twelve Immortals of Immortal Island and currently unmarried."

"Unmarried?" Mo Lin frowned slightly.

Hearing this word at this moment changed the atmosphere somewhat.

"Don’t be so cautious, I won’t kill you."

Huang Qi said gently to Mo Lin, "Other immortals need to eat, but I don’t. I am currently in a spouse-selection period."

"Mo Lin, you pretend well."

Wan Foli angrily shouted at Mo Lin, "Did you already know all of this?

Like me, are you here to compete for the role of Lai Huang Immortal’s husband?"

No wonder Wan Foli previously agreed to be taken away on the train; he already knew everything.

Only Mo Lin, like a fool, knew nothing.

"You both are skilled; have a fight."

Huang Qi pointed at Mo Lin and Wan Foli and said slowly, "The winner can stay temporarily here.

The loser will receive a Wind-Calling Talisman and leave."

As Huang Qi’s voice fell, Wan Foli immediately adopted a fighting stance.

He glared at Mo Lin, the light of Buddha behind him gradually growing.

"I give up, I surrender."

Mo Lin said proactively.

For some reason, when Huang Qi mentioned spouse-searching, thoughts of Cui Xinyun kept surfacing in Mo Lin’s mind.

The woman who had once sat with Mo Lin shoulder-to-shoulder on the steps of Great Spirit Mountain, talking all night.

The woman who once fought alone at Wanliang Mountain against many Immortal Cultivators, taking on many burdens for Mo Lin.

Thus, Mo Lin wasn’t pretending; he genuinely wasn’t interested in being Huang Qi’s husband.

Huang Qi was beautiful, undeniably flawless.

But... just beautiful, that’s all.

Mo Lin felt nothing for her.

However, for Cui Xinyun, it was different.

Thinking of Cui Xinyun brought a warm feeling to Mo Lin’s heart, an odd pang in his chest.

Moreover, memories of Mo Lin with Cui Xinyun together would surface in his mind.

"Please give me an Immortal Summoning Talisman to leave here; I will repay this kindness," Mo Lin said politely to Huang Qi.

Respect begets respect; Mo Lin responded politely.

Seeing Mo Lin concede, Wan Foli showed a smug smile, "You finally get it."

Wan Foli looked at Huang Qi, and then his smile gradually disappeared.

He saw Huang Qi staring at Mo Lin with an appreciative gaze and a smile on her lips.

A look of amorous affection.

"Damn..."

Wan Foli glared at Mo Lin, "Playing hard to get?

Isn’t this a trick to win over a proud woman?

This tactic is so overused, it’s ridiculous.

Yet, it works perfectly on Huang Qi."

Mo Lin always avoided mentioning the Immortal Ruins, while always pursuing it.

He even prepared a strategy to deal with Huang Qi.

Directly handling Huang Qi firmly.

Huang Qi, having never left Immortal Island, was unacquainted with such tactics.

Her heart was thoroughly captured by Mo Lin.

Wan Foli felt almost murderous at this moment, wishing to slap himself.

He nearly fell for Mo Lin’s deception.

Mo Lin was a schemer, full of stratagems.

Huang Qi rested her chin, staring at Mo Lin, her pupils gradually changing, manifesting yellow patterns resembling tree rings.

"Hmm... turns out you know Cui Xinyun?"

"Ghost Cultivator? Interesting... so pitiful..."

Huang Qi seemed like she was watching TV, observing Mo Lin as if admiring something, even making remarks.

Mo Lin felt as if he had been seen through by Huang Qi.

Mo Lin stared straight ahead, unwilling to engage visually with Huang Qi.

Mostly fearing Huang Qi had some enchanting magic. Being bewitched would be troublesome.

With Huang Qi’s words, Mo Lin sharply sensed Huang Qi seemed to see into his memories.

This method was indeed impressive.

"I know Cui Xinyun as well; her family used to live on this island, and we were friends," Huang Qi said slowly to Mo Lin.

"Damn... they’ve connected?" Wan Foli felt murderous at this moment.

He had continuously performed before Huang Qi to win her heart.

Ultimately, he fell short, losing to Mo Lin’s strategy.

"Friends?" Mo Lin wasn’t aware Cui Xinyun had such connections.

"Originally, Cui Xinyun should have been the Thirteenth Immortal, but one day her family revolted.

Her family died, and she was safely taken away."

That night her family all perished, leaving only her alive.

She probably doesn’t remember this place."

Residents leaving here won’t remember this island.

Qiu Yunshang wasn’t from this island, so she retained memories after leaving.

Yet she couldn’t reveal anything about the island.
