Chapter 225: Tea Stall Owner

Xue Huan had nothing to hide. "I want to buy a piece of land. I came here with my agent to take a look. Where is Master Guan?"

"It's a good time to take a break and relax." Guan Yue said concisely.

Relax? Xue Huan didn't believe it intuitively. Guan Yue didn't seem like the type of person who would come out to relax. When he was a constable, he was busy investigating cases every day. Now that he has been promoted to a lieutenant, it is even more impossible for him to have the leisure time to relax.

But she had no intention of exploring.

"Really? Then I won't bother Master Guan anymore."

Xue Huan changed direction and walked for a while. Suddenly, a tea stall appeared in front of them. The stall was built under a huge locust tree, and it was covered with thick shade.

The teahouse was not big, with only two tables inside. A young woman in a straw hat and a cloth skirt was busy working inside. The moment she looked up, Xue Huan couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in her eyes. The woman was quite beautiful, with fair skin and slender fingers. She didn't look like someone who ran a teahouse, but rather like a lady who was brought up in seclusion.

The coarse cloth dress did not match her appearance and temperament.

Peng Yaren hadn't expected to meet such a beautiful woman in such a desolate place. He couldn't help but feel tempted and suggested to Xue Huan, "Miss Zhao, we've been walking for quite some time. Why don't you go over and have some tea and rest?"

"Okay."

Xue Huan and the other two sat down at the table. The woman came over to greet them, saying softly, "What would you like to order, my three guests?"

The Pengya people asked, "What are they?"

"There's tea, wine, steamed buns, noodles, and pickled mustard greens porridge."

Mr. Peng looked at Xue Huan, the customer, and Xue Huan said, "Just give me and my maid a bowl of tea each. Uncle Peng, please do as you please."

"Then give me two buns and a bowl of tea."

The woman brought a teapot and poured a bowl of tea for each of the three people. "The buns will be here soon."

Xue Huan looked at the tea in the bowl, a leaf slowly spinning and falling to the bottom of the bowl. However, when she channeled her spiritual power into her eyes, the tea in the bowl was no longer tea, but blood!

Just then, Guan Yue appeared and shouted, "Don't drink it! There's something wrong with the tea!"

Xue Huan was not going to drink it at all. Just as Ah Man brought the bowl to her mouth, Peng Yaren had already taken a sip. When he heard Guan Yue's loud shout, he was so startled that he choked and quickly put down the bowl.

"Ahem, Master Guan, what's wrong with the tea?"

Guan Yue had already arrived at the teahouse. The proprietress came out with a bowl of steamed buns and looked at him bewilderedly. "Sir, why are you accusing me for no reason?"

Guan Yue didn't answer her at all. He strode over, grabbed a bun and broke it open. His eyebrows jumped when he saw the meat filling inside. However, upon closer inspection, he found that the meat filling was completely different from what he expected.

He walked into the kitchen of the tea shed again and took a quick look. There was nothing suspicious here.

Yet he still felt something was wrong.

Young men have been disappearing frequently recently. After investigation, the clues point directly to the Weeping Ghost Forest. Guan Yue disguises himself as an ordinary man and enters the forest to see if he will encounter anything.

There was no tea stall here before, but there is one this time. There is obviously something strange about this tea stall. After all, there are usually few people coming to Ghost Crying Forest. Who would open a tea stall here?

This was also the reason why he reminded Xue Huan and the other two not to drink tea.

The proprietress of the tea stall looked weak and harmless, but Guan Yue, who had been dealing with criminals for many years, knew that looking harmless did not mean she was truly harmless. There was something unusual about this woman.

"What are you looking for, sir?" A soft body came up from behind, and a gentle voice was heard.

Guan Yue's hair stood on end, and he drew his knife and stabbed behind him.

But the result was nothing.

As soon as he turned around, Guan Yue's expression changed.

Outside the tea stall, Xue Huan saw that Guan Yue had not come out for a long time. She used her spiritual sense to scan and found that Guan Yue and the proprietress were gone!

"A'man, Uncle Peng, you guys leave here first." Xue Huan said with a serious expression.

Ah Man stood up and walked out without saying anything, but Peng Yaren asked, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong?"

"Don't ask any more questions, just go!"

Seeing Xue Huan's solemn expression, Peng Yaren didn't dare to delay any longer and followed Ah Man. After walking a few steps, he couldn't help but look back and saw Xue Huan standing there, looking as if facing a great enemy.

"Miss Ah Man, it's not good for us to leave Miss Zhao there like this, right?"

Ah Man glanced at him and said: "Our girl is very capable. If we stay here, we will only hinder her. It is better to leave quickly so as not to hinder her."

Peng Ya people: "..."

Xue Huan's spiritual consciousness had been following Ah Man and the other two. Seeing that they had successfully left the forest, she felt relieved.

She used the vine technique, and a vine shot out from her hand, shuttling back and forth in a very short time, as fast as a green shadow. She retracted her fingers, and the small tea shed in front of her collapsed instantly, bringing up a gust of wind that made the branches and leaves of the old locust tree rustle.

Her eyes fell on the old locust tree, and a fireball shot out from her fingertips and hit it. Unexpectedly, when it hit the locust tree, the fireball actually sank directly into it, and the tree made a crackling sound and emitted wisps of black smoke.

Seeing this, Xue Huan became more certain of her guess that the tea stall owner was not a human, but a ghost, and this locust tree was her nest!

Guan Yue might be inside right now, so she must hurry to rescue him.

But Guan Yue turned around and found that he was no longer in the tea stall. The scene around him suddenly changed and turned into a gorgeous and exquisite woman's boudoir.

The most eye-catching thing in the room was the large bed. Heavy curtains hung from the ceiling, and an enchanting figure was faintly visible inside. There was also a sweet fragrance floating in the air, which made people feel dizzy at the first sniff.

He seemed to be bewitched and walked towards the bed unconsciously.

When his hand touched the curtain, Guan Yue bit his tongue. The sharp pain made his brain much clearer. He gripped the knife tightly in his hand and stabbed it in.

But the result was a miss.

He lifted the curtain, and there was no one on the bed.

At this moment, a faint sound of water came from behind him. Guan Yue turned around and found that the sound of water came from behind the screen.

He walked over and cut the screen in half with one blow. Under his kick, the screen fell to the ground in pieces, revealing the erotic and mysterious picture of a beautiful woman bathing behind it.

The beauty in the bathtub is clearly the owner of the teahouse.

Her face was still the same, but her temperament was completely different. Now, her every move was full of alluring temptation and charm.

She waved towards Guan Yue, her voice seemed far away yet close, ethereal and graceful: "Sir, come to my place~"

Guan Yue's eyes became blurry again, and he walked towards the bathtub involuntarily.

The woman slowly stood up from the tub, like a lotus emerging from water. She stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Guan Yue's neck. "Sir, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

This man is full of vitality. If she absorbs his energy, her strength will be greatly improved, and this broken forest will not be able to trap her anymore!
