Chapter 44 The Beauty of Mysterious Origin
The sound of a cup falling to the floor echoed in the empty courtyard, followed by Su Yun's terrified scream.
Night Breeze immediately sobered up and rushed out of the room. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Panicked, Su Yun rushed into the room and hugged Ye Feng tightly, exclaiming, "Oh my god, this is terrifying! There's a female ghost in red in the bathroom!"
"Red clothes? A female ghost?" Night Wind couldn't understand at all. "What's a female ghost?"
"It's a female ghost!" Su Yun was terrified and wanted to hide. She didn't care about explaining or educating anyone anymore. She was so scared that she was trembling all over.
Even when we encountered mutated rats, it wasn't as scary as it is now!
What was originally a tranquil and beautiful moonlit scene instantly transformed into a horror movie scene. Su Yun was truly terrified, letting out a soft whimper, "Waaah, oh oh oh...it's so scary...the female ghost is too scary..."
"Shall I go out and take a look?" Ye Feng patted the other's head, trying to gently soothe the agitated Su Yun.
Su Yun stubbornly refused to let go, shaking her head frantically: "No, no, no... It's too scary... We need to look for black donkey hooves or yellow talismans..."
"Black donkey hooves? Yellow talismans? What are these?" Ye Feng had been confused since the beginning, but looking at Su Yun in his arms, who was stuttering as she spoke, he gently comforted her in the way he would a cub. He whispered, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..." He lightly touched the human girl's ruffled head with his lips to soothe her frightened state. "Don't be afraid."
The night wind patiently and softly comforted her until Su Yun gradually calmed down.
This was Su Yun's first time seeing a "ghost," and he was so frightened that his mind went blank. It wasn't until Ye Feng patiently comforted him that he gradually calmed down...
Then a clear, melodious female voice came from outside the door, "Hey, what are you two whispering about for so long? Can someone come and save me first?"
Night Breeze: "Hmm?"
Su Yun exclaimed again, "Damn it!"
"Why does it feel like it's not a female ghost? The voice sounds like a person?" After calming down, Su Yun instantly grasped the key information.
Who is it?
"Hey? Why are you asking this? I came all the way from the south, and I finally found this place, but I messed up. Ugh, why are you asking so many questions! Just pull me out of here already! I feel like I'm stuck! I'm going to fall! Beautiful lady, are you still there? Please help me!"
Su Yun: "Hmm? It doesn't sound like a ghost, but, but... why would this person climb into our bathroom in the middle of the night?"
It just doesn't seem right.
This is not something a normal person could do.
"Let's go, let's grab our gear and go out and take a look." Su Yun decided to go out and check things out first.
She skillfully picked up her modified equipment.
The night wind leads the way, scouting ahead.
Su Yun followed Ye Feng cautiously, peeking out from behind.
Ye Feng was very cautious. He slowly opened the door, revealing a crack to observe the situation.
This is to prevent someone from suddenly rushing in.
Night Wind was very cautious in this regard, because there were far too many people setting traps in the apocalypse, and he had to be on guard.
The door creaked open, and Ye Feng peeked out, observing carefully for a while. There was nothing unusual, and of course, the ambush he had expected did not materialize.
In the empty courtyard, only an anxious female voice echoed in the night sky. Her tone was very anxious: "Hey hey hey... Help, help... Help me! I feel like I'm about to fall. Can you stop watching and lend a hand? Save me!"
Su Yun hid behind the door and listened intently for a while. Recalling the "female ghost" who had reached out to her from the top of the toilet, she realized that the ghost's posture was indeed somewhat disheveled.
"The voice sounded pained and struggling, extremely anxious, with seven parts pleading and three parts sincerity. It didn't seem like a female ghost, nor did it seem like there was an ambush." Su Yun, hiding behind, shared his opinion at the right time.
Night Breeze: "Let's not rush things, let's observe first."
He overheard Su Yun's conversation with Ye Feng.
The "female ghost" on the roof immediately raised her voice, becoming clearly anxious, "No need to look anymore, there's no one else here, only a beautiful woman like me!"
"A stunning beauty?" Su Yun never lacked concern and affection for beautiful women, and immediately craned his neck to look.
In a dark, gloomy corner, on the roof of a dilapidated toilet, suddenly appeared a person dressed in red, with pale skin and disheveled hair.
Upon closer inspection, Su Yun's pupils dilated; this—
She's a female ghost!
"Look at me, look at me! I don't look like a bad person at all!" The "female ghost" suddenly looked up.
Su Yun was so frightened that she immediately took a big step back, almost making a croaking sound.
Thankfully, the "female ghost" wasn't faceless, nor was she bleeding from all seven orifices. Instead, she was a very beautiful woman with big eyes and an oval face.
His hair was a bit messy, his face was a bit dusty, and his expression was a bit fierce.
"Oh! The other party seems to actually be a person, oh no, it's an orc."
Night Breeze: "What?!"
With Ye Feng guarding the front this time, Su Yun finally calmed down a lot. Upon closer inspection, he could vaguely see a pair of gray-white triangular ears among the messy black hair. They were a little bigger and had more hair than Ye Feng's black ears.
Standard orc symbol.
"What? The other person is like you, and you seem very surprised?" Su Yun looked at the astonished Ye Feng with great doubt.
Night Wind was rarely so shocked. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and finally he whispered, "I've never seen anyone like this before... Why is this happening?"
Night Wind pointed incredulously at its kind hanging on the toilet.
The person was clinging to the ceiling of their toilet in a very disheveled position, their upper body struggling to support themselves, while their lower body was inexplicably stuck, unable to pull themselves out or fall down. They could only hang there awkwardly, unable to move, waiting for someone to rescue them.
"Help! Help me! I'm about to fall!" the "ghost" cried out anxiously.
"Ah, it really is an orc!" Su Yun finally felt relieved and stood in front of the toilet door, looking up at the "female ghost" whose half body was stuck in the roof and whose other half was struggling.
“Of course you’re an orc! Aren’t you?” the “female ghost” replied. Only after Su Yun walked in and saw her appearance did she belatedly realize that she was human. She slowly said “Oh”, “So you’re human. But if you’re human, why do I smell the scent of my kind here… I couldn’t have been mistaken.”
The "female ghost" lay on the roof, sniffing the air intently.
Then, as the night wind emerged from the darkness, stepped forward, and blocked Su Yun's path, the "female ghost" finally saw the other person's appearance clearly—a handsome and aloof young man.
Her disheveled expression instantly changed, and she no longer looked disheveled.
Her eyes suddenly lit up. After brushing her messy hair aside, she whistled loudly and greeted him in an extremely flirtatious manner: "Hey! Hello, handsome young man! The moon is so beautiful tonight. Are you here to admire the moon too?" After saying that, she even gave the night breeze a flirtatious wink, which she thought was very charming.
Su Yun thought to herself: If this beautiful woman's lower body weren't still stuck on the roof of her bathroom, she would have given her a thumbs up for this flirting technique.
However, judging from the current situation, this woman somehow climbed onto the roof of her toilet. Because the toilet roof had been in disrepair for many years, it was no longer able to bear the weight. The woman lost her footing and her lower body was stuck on the roof.
"Hey, handsome! Come play with me!" But this beautiful woman was oblivious to her terrible situation. The moment she saw Ye Feng appear, she completely forgot about her predicament and started flirting with the handsome guy like crazy.
Night Wind remained indifferent and didn't respond, instead coldly scrutinizing the person stuck on the roof.
On one side is a beautiful woman showering her with flirtatious glances, and on the other side is a cold, aloof man, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"Ahem." Su Yun coughed lightly twice, breaking the awkward silence, and appropriately reminded him, "Are you going to come out or not?"
"Oh, right! I'm still stuck!" The beautiful woman, who was throwing flirtatious glances, was instantly jolted awake by Su Yun's words, realizing her predicament. Then, with what she thought was a dashing flick of her hair, she softened her voice and continued to flirt with Ye Feng, "Handsome young man, will you help me out? Give me a hand, and I'll be at your mercy once I'm out~"
After saying that, he winked at the night breeze, the implication being obvious.
Su Yun:.......
Are orcs really this unrestrained these days?
Su Yun was speechless and turned to look at the night wind.
The cat-eared boy stared blankly at the beautiful woman on the rooftop, who was giving him flirtatious glances.
Seeing Su Yun looking at him, he turned his head slightly and asked, "Should we help her up?"
Oh, I forgot this is a straight man who lacks common sense, so Ye Feng naturally wouldn't understand.
Seeing that the cat-eared boy ignored her, the beautiful woman on the roof spoke again: "Handsome guy, don't be so indifferent. When a beautiful woman asks for help, you should lend a helping hand immediately! Is that even a question?"
"I will only listen to Su Yun," Ye Feng replied silently, then turned to look at Su Yun, seeking her opinion.
Facing the night wind that was completely incomprehensible and inaudible.
The unrequited affection of the beautiful stranger was completely wasted.
Su Yun was pondering the origins and purpose of the beautiful woman who had suddenly appeared on the roof of her bathroom, and was torn about whether to pull her out.
Suddenly hearing Ye Feng's question, he realized what the two were talking about.
This left her both amused and exasperated. This beautiful woman didn't care about the occasion, time, or place when she started flirting with handsome men. At least she should have gotten herself out of the cesspool first! With her messy hair and covered in mud, she started flirting with handsome men, and sure enough, she ran into a brick wall.
Su Yun thought for a moment and calmly said, "Let's not rush to pull it. Let's ask clearly first."
Night Breeze nodded in agreement: "I'll do as you say."
He immediately stepped aside and waited for Su Yun's instructions.
The beautiful woman stuck in the roof was in a panic. "Hey, hey, don't be so indifferent!" she cried out, desperately trying to climb out of the pit and reaching out for help. "Handsome guy, handsome guy, help me! Help me!"
Night Breeze ignored her and turned away.
Su Yun originally wanted to ask for clarification before considering whether to save the person, but as soon as Ye Feng left, the guy hurriedly struggled to stop the handsome man: "Hey, hey, handsome man, don't go! Don't go! This is the middle of nowhere, if you leave, who will I go to?"
The moment he saw Ye Feng get up and leave, he panicked. He tried to prop himself up with his hands, but he was stuck too deep and too tightly. Dust billowed from the toilet ceiling, and tiles started falling off.
The already dilapidated toilet became even more precarious, the entire wall shaking violently and on the verge of collapse. Su Yun hurriedly stopped her, "No, no, no, don't move! We'll pull you out right now! Please don't move!"
The toilet roof has only been damaged by the other party, with a large hole. It can be repaired with some tiles and wood. But if the toilet were to collapse, they would have to squat in the open air from now on.
This was the last thing Su Yun wanted to see, so she quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Oh, oh, oh! If you had told me earlier that you would pull me out, I wouldn't have moved." Hearing that Su Yun was willing to help, the beautiful woman finally calmed down and waited for rescue.
"Alright, it's only because you can't destroy the toilet... Sigh, never mind, Night Wind, let's pull her out first, the toilet can't take any more damage..." Su Yun sighed slightly, looking at the expanding signs of collapse, and said helplessly.
"Okay." Although somewhat reluctant, Ye Feng obediently did as he was told. With a light step, he leaped onto the wall.
Wow, impressive skills! This handsome guy must have excellent leg and waist strength!
"Pfft—" What kind of rabid words are these? How could such a beautiful and radiant woman say such things? Su Yun almost choked on her own saliva.
No way, is she overthinking it? Orcs are supposed to be pretty simple-minded, right?
She looked up at the night breeze, but the other party didn't react at all, replying calmly, "You are better than me."
Um? ? ?
Night Breeze surprisingly chimed in.
"This—she's probably overthinking it. The beautiful lady probably didn't mean that," Su Yun comforted herself.
But the beautiful woman's next sentence almost made Su Yun choke again: "Not necessarily. My waist and legs have always been in great shape. You can try it if you don't believe me~"
Looking at the other person's blinking eyes, which seemed to be electrified, and the deliberately drawn-out ending of their voice, Su Yun was 100% certain that this guy was driving, and in a beat-up car at that.
What the hell is this?
What exactly is this guy here for?
Su Yun was exasperated and was about to stop them when the other party continued to corrupt her innocent and adorable kitten.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng spoke first, adding expressionlessly, "If you had a strong back and legs, you wouldn't have fallen into the cesspool."
The beautiful woman was speechless: ......
Haha, okay, a straight man's answer always puts her at ease. Since her little kitten still doesn't understand, Su Yun lets the young lady continue to let loose.
Ye Feng quickly pulled the other person out of the pit.
Once the beautiful woman was freed, she was like a snake with its bones removed; she slipped lightly and tried to fall into the other person's arms.
However, just as her scheme was about to succeed, Ye Feng nimbly dodged to the side, then turned and lightly leaped back to Su Yun's side.
The series of movements were fluid and extremely swift.
The beautiful woman lost the embrace she could rely on, stumbled, and almost fell back into the toilet. Fortunately, she swayed a few times at the last moment and managed to stand up steadily.
Ah, this—
What kind of incredibly straight-male behavior is this?
Su Yun was stunned when the night wind stood in front of her again, blocking her view.
"Hey, don't be so cold. We're all going through a special time, why stand so far apart? Wouldn't it be better to do something fun?" The beautiful woman swayed a few times before finally regaining her balance, but she wasn't embarrassed at all. Instead, she smoothed her hair and continued to flirt with the night breeze.
Sure enough, once he was free, he forgot his predicament and, with messy hair and a face covered in dust, started flirting with handsome guys again.
Su Yun was exasperated and finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
"Oh? There's another human here. Sigh, it's no use telling you. Of course I followed the scent here!"
"What smell? I don't understand." Su Yun asked, puzzled. "Could it be the smell of blood?"
"Hmm? What bloody smell? Of course not, it smells nice. Sigh, you humans don't understand, it's normal. I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see the handsome guy next to you. Right, handsome guy, you can smell it, right? You know what I mean?" After saying that, she winked at Ye Feng a few times.
"For him?" Su Yun was even more confused, her head full of question marks. Looking at the person on the wall still frantically flirting with the handsome guy, she finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "What exactly are you here for?!"
The beautiful woman on the wall was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and said naturally with a relaxed expression, "I came here to find him to be my partner!"
