Chapter 1116: The Red Shrine
Chapter 1116: The Red Shrine
"The entire mountain at Maple Leaf Town sank into the Abyss, and now there’s just flat ground." Qing Li suddenly kissed my forehead, yes, kissed my forehead!!
Just when I felt completely thunderstruck, like I was hallucinating, a scent of white magnolia drifted to my ear, "We’ll enter from Fengdu Ghost City this time. It’s my turn to protect you."
"Huh? Okay." I was dumbfounded, my heart pounding wildly.
Granny, can you stop being so alluring?
You look even more handsome than Yu Longting, and your aura is so similar to his.
Aren’t you deliberately trying to make me fall for you?
Seeing my dazed and silly look, Qing Li covered her mouth and laughed, "Let’s go."
"What about me? What about me? Take me along too, wifey. I’ll help you save our eldest son~!" The moment Yu Qingxiao saw his dear wife, he turned into a complete fool.
It’s simply disillusioning, considering how handsome he is.
Yet, he acts so clumsily, like a little punk.
Qing Li casually glanced back, "You? Just stay with this one, since you don’t care about our son. You can recognize others as your son."
"Hey, that’s totally unfair! I raised our son myself, I’m very close to him, don’t go, at least untie my Spider Silk."
Before Yu Qingxiao could finish speaking, Qing Li hooked her arm around my waist and took a Mysterious Step, leaving the tavern in the blink of an eye.
Her mastery of the Mysterious Step is at least on par with Yu Longting’s, as it took only forty minutes to reach a strange small town.
The town had many shops selling funeral supplies, and there were even ghost performances on the street.
Many tourists have also cosplayed as different ghosts, like Meng Po, King Qinguang, and Black and White Impermanence...
No matter what, they fully set the atmosphere, a Midland version of Halloween with a parade of a hundred ghosts.
"Is this Fengdu? It feels like a tourist city." Just as I finished speaking, the lid of a coffin at a nearby coffin shop popped open.
A strange wave of Corpse Qi and resentment floated out, then a granny in funeral clothing sat up from the coffin, scaring me to death, "Granny~"
"What a disgrace to Lin’s Exorcist Family, being so timid even now." Qing Li pulled me back a step, went into the wallpaper shop next door, and bought fifty billion in Joss Paper.
Then, returning to the coffin shop door, she directly threw half the Joss Paper into the coffin lid.
Immediately, the chilly air dissipated significantly.
The shriveled granny in the coffin slowly lay back down, perhaps appeased by the Joss Paper.
At this moment, the coffin shop owner, who had been reading a newspaper, got up and quietly took the coffin lid to cover it.
As if it were a common occurrence for the body inside the coffin to play dead.
After walking a distance, I couldn’t help but say, "There’s no way there’s a mechanism in the coffin, right? You have to throw money to close the lid."
"You’ve never been to Fengdu before, have you? People who die with big resentments here generally don’t stay stiff and can hear the outside world talking." Qing Li’s Mysterious Step noticeably slowed down, becoming very cautious compared to the way she came, "It’s because you were spouting nonsense and startled them."
"Gosh, so it’s true. Granny, to be honest, I’ve...never seen a ghost until now, the only time..." I sneaked a glance at Qing Li and chuckled, "Hehe, the only time was when I mistook you for a ghost. Hey, watch out, there’s a shrine up ahead..."
There was a red shrine embedded in a phone booth ahead, with electronic red candles flickering inside.
Suddenly bumping into it scared me half to death.
Qing Li had already frowned and avoided it, but the next second she still collided with the shrine.
Even using a Mysterious Step, she couldn’t leave the range of this shrine.
"Go to the supermarket and buy a can of eight-treasure porridge, I’ll wait for you here." Qing Li handed me two yuan.
