Chapter 134 Master, that man is terrifying!
Shen Yuepo also got off the car from the other side, and looked at Feng Jin with some doubt.
"Why are you suddenly meddling in such trivial matters?" Shen Yuepo asked in a low voice as the two walked side by side toward the hotel lobby.
She intended to get out of the car to remind Wu Feng, but Feng Jin beat her to it.
Feng Jin casually put his hands in the pockets of his windbreaker, glanced at her sideways, his handsome face expressionless, and simply uttered a casual remark:
"Nothing, I just suddenly find that kid a little more agreeable."
Shen Yuepo: "?"
Wu Feng, who remained in the car, watched the couple walk hand in hand into the brightly lit hotel lobby. Their backs exuded a tacit understanding that was difficult for others to blend into, and only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.
He wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and immediately said to the team member in the passenger seat, "Xiao Zhang, you drive!"
Master Shen and the person beside her are absolutely right.
The spacious and bright master bedroom of the hotel suite.
"I'm going to take a shower." She said this without even glancing at Feng Jin, and rushed straight to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
As the warm water flowed down, she finally let out a long sigh of relief, feeling every inch of her taut skin greedily inhaling the clean moisture.
She had truly reached her limit in enduring the feeling of being covered in dust.
In the master bedroom, Feng Jin walked to the large sofa and sat down, picking up the smart tablet provided by the hotel from the coffee table.
With a swipe of my finger across the screen, I quickly found the food delivery app.
The idea of ordering takeout was purely out of a desire to experience new and exciting things in life.
He wanted to see how the delivery speed of this mortal hotel compared to the ghost messengers of Fengdu.
He browsed the dazzling array of food pictures with great interest, tapped a few that looked decent, and entered the room number.
I had just put the tablet down when the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.
Shen Yuepo stepped out.
She was wearing a soft, plain-colored loungewear set, and her hair was half-dry.
A few unruly strands of hair hung down beside her neck, still glistening with water droplets.
Her delicate cheeks were flushed slightly by the steam, and she exuded a fresh, post-bath fragrance that softened her usual aloofness and added a touch of languor.
Feng Jin stood up, picked up the change of clothes that the ghost messenger had brought and placed on the sofa, and prepared to go in and clean them as well.
"You...you want to take a bath too?" Shen Yuepo looked at him with some surprise.
Feng Jin paused, turned to look at her, and asked, "Who told you you don't need to?"
Then, he couldn't help but explain to Shen Yuepo, "Although I can use cleansing spells, that only removes filth and residual energy."
He slightly raised his chin. "How can magic compare to flowing warm water? Bathing is a pleasure."
Shen Yuepo was taken aback by his theory. She wanted to retort instinctively, "Then why didn't you wash before?", but she stopped herself from saying it.
She clearly sensed a faint yet persistent gloomy aura lingering outside the master bedroom door, carrying a distinct sense of fear.
It was the spirit that had always been with her.
She frowned slightly, but didn't press Feng Jin further, simply nodding and saying, "Oh."
Feng Jin seemed to have noticed the little devil outside the door, but he didn't care.
He pushed open the bathroom door and went in. Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from inside.
Just as Feng Jin entered the bathroom, a female ghost figure dressed in a white dress quickly floated in, but dared not get too close to Chen Yuepo.
The soul was trembling violently with fear, clutching itself tightly with both hands, staring in terror at the closed bathroom door.
"Great...Master."
The female ghost's voice trembled violently, choked with sobs, "That man was so scary!"
She drifted a little further away from the bathroom, still feeling a bit shaken.
Shen Yuepo looked at the female ghost who had been secretly following her from a distance ever since she and Feng Jin left Black Wind Village, entered the city, and even entered the hotel.
She had noticed the female ghost hovering behind the car earlier, but the atmosphere was delicate and Wu Feng was present, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Shen Yuepo walked to the sofa, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
Only then did he raise his eyes to look at the trembling female ghost, his voice calm: "Why have you been following me?"
Seeing that Shen Yuepo didn't seem to intend to drive her away or eliminate her immediately, the female ghost became a little bolder, but still didn't dare to get too close.
He just floated in place, stammering:
"Master, my name is Zhang Lin. I... I was tricked into going to Qinglan Village, Yunfeng Town, Yunnan Province, where I died unexpectedly."
Her soul suddenly twisted, as if struck by some painful memory:
"I met someone in the game. He said he was very skilled and could help me rank up. We chatted for a long time. He spoke very gently and knew how to make people happy."
Her gaze began to glaze over, as if she had returned to that meticulously woven lie:
He said that his hometown is Qinglan Village in Yunfeng Town, Yunnan Province. Although it is a bit remote, it has beautiful mountains and clear waters and the people are simple and honest.
"He also said that his family had an orchard where the fruit was especially sweet in the summer. He showed me a lot of photos, and I... I really believed him."
"Later, we video chatted every day. He was very good-looking and said he liked me a lot. He wanted to take me home to meet his family and said he wanted to live a good life with me."
"I was so stupid back then. He completely fooled me, and I went to that godforsaken place, Qinglan Village, without telling my family!"
Zhang Lin's soul trembled violently, her voice seeming to drift from a great distance: "Upon reaching the village entrance, there was no picturesque scenery at all..."
Her fingertips dug deeply into her palms, and wisps of black energy seeped from her soul. "Only...only stinking mud pits and dilapidated mud houses..."
As she spoke, her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, a fashionable dress now stained with mud and dark red blood.
"The person who came to pick me up wasn't the one in the video at all! It was a dark-skinned, fierce-looking stranger!"
"He snatched my phone and dragged me into a dilapidated mud-brick house. Inside... there were three old men and a fierce-looking old woman!"
The room temperature dropped sharply.
Shen Yuepo silently made a hand seal to prevent Zhang Lin's resentment from getting out of control.
"They...they told me that I was bought, that I was paid 30,000 yuan! I was to be the wife of three brothers!"
Zhang Lin's voice was shrill with extreme fear, "Those three brothers were all older than my father! The way they looked at me was like they were looking at livestock."
"When they were tearing my clothes..." Zhang Lin's voice suddenly became a series of overlapping echoes, as if countless versions of herself were saying it simultaneously, "I screamed until my throat was hoarse, but it was no use..."
"That old woman pricked my mouth with a sewing needle and said she'd sew it up if I cried again..."
Zhang Lin's soul curled up into a ball, her voice growing softer and softer, as if she were trapped in those desperate nights.
"Later, one night, taking advantage of their relaxed vigilance, I pried open the window and ran for my life. It was so dark outside... so dark. All I knew was that I had to run out of the village and find a road..."
"I don't know how long I ran, but I heard dogs barking and the light of torches... They were chasing after me, wielding sickles."
Zhang Lin's cries were filled with helplessness and pain:
"I was terrified. I slipped and fell off a very high cliff, into a ditch at the bottom of Black Wind Village."
"It hurts so much, my whole body is shattered, and then... I don't know anything anymore..." Her soul became dim and filled with deathly silence.
"When I woke up again, I was like this, my body lying in the pile of rocks at the bottom of Black Wind Village..."
