"Um..." Xu Yang hesitated, "Sister Ghost, we have our own car. BYD isn't much worse than BMW. Why don't we take that?"
The female ghost excitedly stroked the BMW's leather seats. Xu Yang tried again: "For men, cars are like wives - you can't lend them out!"
Ma Long's brand new BMW 5 Series, freshly licensed, might end up in a ditch!
"I'm a ghost, not human!" Bloody characters materialized on the windshield: "Coming? If not, I'm going drag racing!"
Xu Yang reluctantly buckled up. The engine roared as the ghost slammed the accelerator, the BMW launching like a rocket.
"Slow down! Red light! RED LIGHT!" Xu Yang screamed, clutching the dashboard. The speedometer needle trembled at 130 km/h - outrageous for city streets at midnight.
The ghost casually wrote with her free hand: "Watching 'My Lucky Star' lately. Male lead never stops for traffic lights." Her characters shimmered crimson: "Trust me. Blink and we're there!"
Xu Yang's face turned parchment pale. "Amitabha... Wait, I'm Taoist! Supreme Venerable Lord, save me!"
As they blew through another intersection, Xu Yang distractedly checked his system interface. The newly unlocked golden pouch icon caught his eye. With 358 virtue points, he hesitated before tapping it.
**Ding!**
"Congratulations! Obtained: Land Flight Technique!"
Xu Yang's initial excitement faded as information flooded his mind. "Buddhist Seventy-Two Arts? Just some lousy qinggong?" he grumbled aloud.
The BMW swerved violently as the ghost turned her hair-shrouded face. *"What Buddhist arts?"* she wrote mid-drift.
"Watch the road!" Xu Yang yelled. The ghost nonchalantly scribbled: *"Ghost kings drive with sixth sense."*
Suddenly - HONK! A freight truck emerged from a blind corner.
Tires screeched. Time dilated. The BMW's hood crumpled like paper against the truck's steel flank. Glass shards danced in slow motion as the car's rear lifted skyward before crashing down.
The truck driver stumbled out, phone trembling: "911? Accident! No... no one in the car? But that's impossible!" He gaped at the empty, mangled BMW.
Twenty meters away, Xu Yang panted against a lamppost, the female ghost's arm still draped over his shoulder. His legs burned with unfamiliar energy - the newly acquired Land Flight Technique had propelled them to safety in the nick of time.
"See?" The ghost's bloody writing glowed smugly in midair: *"Blink and we're here."*
