Mingye was just about to use his fingers to tease the little fox in Jiuxi's arms, but who would have thought that the little fox was actually trembling with fear. This made Jiuxi's sympathy even more overflowing. He almost wanted to beat Mingye up and said, "Go back quickly!"
Having said that, without waiting for Mingye's answer, she brought the little fox into the territory of Fengdu City. Every midnight, Fengdu City would always be very desolate, with countless fallen leaves flying around, and every household would close their doors and windows. Most of the people living in Fengdu City were people with ghost eyes. It was inconvenient for them to be ghost messengers, so they would ask these mediums, Taoist priests, etc. to help them buy things.
Don’t go out after dark, and be careful when you go out.
It is not an exaggeration to describe this Fengdu city as lifeless.
However, this night was far from peaceful. It was already midnight, the heaviest hour of the day for yin energy, yet at this hour, there was still a stall on the street. Clearly, there was no one on the street, but the owner of the stall was still shouting, "Selling pills, the best pills!"
The man was standing behind the stall, wearing a large black cloak that covered his face tightly. The wind blew up the fallen leaves, and the corners of his clothes rustled.
Jiuxi felt that this was truly strange, and quickly walked over to the stall and asked, "What kind of pill is this?"
The man was still wearing a mask, leaving only a pair of gloomy eyes staring at Jiuxi, and said politely, "Miss, you just arrived in Fengdu City, right?"
Jiuxi nodded. "Yeah, I just came back from out of town. I didn't expect it to be this late already!"
At this time, her eyes looked at the pills placed on the table. They were of all colors and had more or less fragrance.
Jiuxi continued to ask, "It's so late, and there's no one on the street. Aren't you afraid, boss?"
Unexpectedly, the boss smiled and said, "Actually, sometimes dealing with ghosts is much better than dealing with people!"
These words have two meanings. One is that he was born with a pair of dark eyes and can see ghosts. The other is that this vendor must have been ostracized by humans.
Jiuxi smiled calmly, "I don't understand what you are saying, boss."
The boss sighed softly, picked up a red pill and handed it to Jiuxi, saying, "This pill is similar to a sugar pill. If you eat it, you can transform into whatever you want. However, it can only last for half an hour."
After the boss handed the pill to Jiuxi, he said quietly, "Since you and I are so compatible, I'll give this pill to you. If you find it interesting, please take care of my business next time."
Jiuxi held the red pill in his hand, feeling it was cool. He threw down the change a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm so sorry. It's not easy for the boss to set up a stall late at night.
But next time, don't come out so late.
It’s easy to run into ghosts.”
The boss took the change and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, young lady. It's a dark and windy night, so you'd better be careful when you go home."
As soon as he finished speaking, the vendor looked at the little fox sleeping peacefully in Jiuxi's arms, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.
Seeing Jiuxi looking at him again, the vendor still maintained his inscrutable look and asked in confusion, "Girl, what's wrong?"
Jiuxi touched his nose angrily and said, "Nothing!"
Suppressing her doubts in her heart, Jiuxi walked towards the gate of hell, but as she walked, she looked back at the vendor from time to time. However, seeing that there was nothing strange about the vendor, she could only leave silently.
