20demayo Chapter 21 "You...are...very...good..."
Chapter 21 "You...are...very...good..."
The ghost bride, who appeared out of nowhere without warning, almost scared Lu Yuan so much that he jumped onto the table.
A chill ran from my tailbone straight up to the top of my head.
Although the two had met before and were quite close to each other.
But by then, Lu Yuan was already on the verge of losing consciousness from being tormented by the two-legged sheep, and he was completely dazed.
Before he could even think it through, everything went black and he fainted.
Now, while Lu Yuan is fully conscious, the ghost bride appears behind him.
Moreover, this time, the two were much closer than last time; the ghost bride was practically floating right behind Lu Yuan.
For a moment, Lu Yuan was completely dumbfounded.
I have absolutely no idea what to do.
To be fair, although Lu Yuan was terrified the moment he turned around, the fear gradually disappeared after he came to his senses.
Lu Yuan was so frightened that his scalp tingled because something suddenly appeared behind him.
In other words, even if it wasn't this ghost bride floating behind him, but something else, Lu Yuan would still be startled.
But after I came to my senses, the fear in my heart subsided, and I felt inexplicably less scared.
Firstly, this ghost bride is helping Lu Yuan.
Reaching out to help Lu Yuan straighten the three lamps was clearly a kind gesture, without any intention to harm him, so there was naturally no fear.
Another thing is...
If evil spirits with ill intentions, or want to harm you, or any other wicked schemes, notice you.
A person's three souls and six spirits can sense things.
That feeling is a bit hard to describe.
If I had to give an example, it would be like someone walking alone at night and suddenly feeling a creepy feeling behind them, as if someone is watching them.
It could also be that you're in a very familiar place, like your home, dorm, or bathroom, and suddenly feel inexplicably uncomfortable or eerie.
This means something dirty is watching you.
Now, even though Lu Yuan is standing so close to this ghost bride, he doesn't feel any discomfort at all.
This also means that the ghost bride has no ill intentions towards Lu Yuan.
In fact, the ghost bride was deliberately suppressing the evil energy within her body to prevent Lu Yuan from feeling any discomfort.
In this way, even if there was a super ferocious beast of the 20th star behind him, Lu Yuan would not be so frightened that he would lose his composure.
At that very moment, the milky-white smoke column formed by the three lamps on the altar was extremely fragrant.
In the center of the offering table, the weasel's corpse, which had been flattened by the iron spatula, suddenly undulated slightly.
Like a deflated balloon being inflated again, the corpse quickly became full and plump.
Finally, the body of the braised chicken shuddered violently, and the next second, it stood up straight.
This braised chicken is truly exquisite.
The moment he got up, Lu Yuan still didn't understand what was going on.
This guy suddenly jumped off the altar, and the moment he landed, he "plop" and knelt down on the ground like a human.
The shrill voice was filled with both obsequiousness and fear.
"This humble servant pays respects to the Great Immortal!!"
Lu Yuan: "..."
Your mom!
Stealing my job!
Coming to his senses, Lu Yuan quickly turned around, bowed, and addressed the blood-red figure before him:
"Thank you so much for your help, Master!!"
"Disciples of Zhenlong Temple, Lu Yuan, Xu Erxiao, and Wang Chengan, greet the Great Immortal."
After saying that, Lu Yuan, with his head down, frantically gave Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan, who were not far away, meaningful glances.
Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan were already deathly pale, almost scared out of their wits.
The ghost bride suppressed the evil energy on Lu Yuan, but not on Xu Erxiao and Wang Chengan.
The overwhelming, terrifying evil aura terrified the two boys so much that their legs trembled and they almost collapsed to their knees.
This evil aura was unlike anything the two had ever seen before; in fact, it was an unimaginably terrifying evil aura.
Receiving a signal from Lu Yuan, the two of them snapped out of their daze and hurriedly bowed, mimicking Lu Yuan's gesture.
"I...I've met the Great Immortal!"
The night was deathly silent.
Only the biting white wind from beyond the pass howled as it swept across the hillside.
The ghost bride did not respond.
She remained motionless and silent.
The silence was more unsettling than any roar, and Lu Yuan felt a fine layer of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
What does this mean?
Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.
Lu Yuan finally mustered up his courage and slowly raised his head.
The ghost bride remained floating in place, motionless, the square red veil rising and falling slightly in front of her.
Lu Yuan subconsciously tried to see her face through the gap in the veil, but it was completely blocked, and he couldn't see anything.
What Lu Yuan didn't expect was...
This ghost bride seemed to know what Lu Yuan was thinking, and knew what Lu Yuan wanted to see about her.
The next second, a cold, eerie wind blew by.
The red veil on the ghost bride's head was blown away.
Then, a peerless face, both incredibly beautiful and incredibly cold, that Lu Yuan had seen before, appeared before him once again.
of course……
And those emotionless, scarlet eyes.
hiss……
Lu Yuan gasped in shock.
Last time, Lu Yuan had seen the ghost bride's face, but that was only for a moment.
In the instant before Lu Yuan lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
And now, I've finally witnessed it for myself.
This face, so beautiful and exquisite, made Lu Yuan's heart pound with fear.
Lu Yuan was looking at the ghost bride, while she was scrutinizing Lu Yuan.
However, Lu Yuan noticed that the ghost bride's scarlet pupils seemed... unfocused... quite empty...
After a brief moment of distraction, Lu Yuan suddenly snapped out of it, hurriedly lowered his head again, and cupped his hands in greeting:
"I am deeply grateful for the great immortal's help..."
Lu Yuan wanted to say something more to express his gratitude, but under the gaze of those empty, emotionless scarlet eyes, his throat was so dry that he couldn't utter a single word.
Shut up, just say it!
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, there was another suffocating silence.
Lu Yuan was completely numb.
If you need anything, just say so!
What... what does this mean?!
He remained silent the whole time...
How terrifying!!
When Lu Yuan couldn't help but look up again, he met those empty, scarlet eyes.
She remained suspended in mid-air, looking down at Lu Yuan with her empty, scarlet eyes.
This time, before Lu Yuan could react, the ghost bride's cherry-red lips suddenly parted slightly.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Are you about to speak?
Can……
one second.
two seconds.
There is no sound.
Lu Yuan was stunned.
What happened?
Unable to speak?
No...that's impossible!!
This is an extremely unlucky number, even twenty stars!
Even the weasel behind her, its face buried in the ground in fear, kept calling her "Master Huang," so how could she possibly be unable to speak?!
not to mention……
If Lu Yuan remembers correctly...
Lu Yuan even heard her speak!
Last night around 8 PM, when he was having dinner with the villagers, Lu Yuan offered incense to her for the second time and recited a mantra to help her pass on to the afterlife.
Then she said thank you...
This……
This is?
Before Lu Yuan could figure out what was going on, the next second, the ghost bride's sharp, jade-like hand suddenly lifted slightly.
Pointing to the figure behind Lu Yuan, Huang Menji was kneeling on the ground, his head buried in the dirt, trembling.
Lu Yuan was completely puzzled.
what does this mean?
Lu Yuan looked completely bewildered.
Immediately, Lu Yuan heard the ghost bride utter several extremely difficult, intermittent syllables from her throat.
The voice was ethereal, yet it sounded as if something was blocking it.
"...You...are..."
"..."
"good……"
Lu Yuan: "????"
