This Was Supposed to Be a Ghost Story, So Why Am I Trying to Get Close to the Forbidden Red-Clad Beauty?

Guiyuan Sect is the greatest sect in the cultivation world, yet it's teeming with the uncanny, and indescribable horrors lurk everywhere.

Gou Fugui was tricked by a crooked loan broker into signing a "Heaven and Earth loan" for a hundred thousand spirit stones. Standing inside the sect, he shows no fear. His eyes gleam with a capitalist's greed. "What horrors? They're all ATMs and premium assets!"

He comes equipped with a cheat that puts a price on everything and forces transactions, turning the warped cultivation world into a source of "free loot." Others are scared out of their wits by living pill ingredients, but he skewers them with iron nails. Others grovel before the rule-bound NPCs, but he grabs them and demands compensation for emotional distress.

Then he runs into the sect's greatest taboo: a woman in red, a ghost with a golden hairpin in her hair.

The red-clad ghost gently strokes his throat, her voice alluring yet icy. "Little one, am I beautiful?" Gou Fugui whips out an IOU and answers righteously, "Sis, your late-night beauty consultation costs ten thousand top-grade spirit stones! No money? Then I'll take that gold hairpin as collateral!"

When the red-clad ghost's bite leaves a "VIP lipstick mark" on the back of Gou Fugui's hand, the horrors throughout the sect completely lose it. "Please, try acting like a human being! This was supposed to be a ghost story. How did you end up cozying up to the supreme deity like she's a rich sugar mommy?!"
