Ye Fan looked over at Little Fourth Ye Jie with concern and saw that she had no reaction, which relieved him.
âBaba, itâs cooler in here than outside,â Little Fourth Ye Jie remarked.
âThatâs true, it might be because this house hasnât seen sunlight for years, and because thereâs no ventilation on all sides, itâs so cold!â Ye Fan glanced around.
âBaba, why do I feel that sensation getting stronger?â Ye Jie said.
âWhat?â
âItâs like someoneâs gaze is fixed on us, or rather, more precisely, on me. Iâve started feeling a bit excited, haha!â Ye Jie said and proceeded to laugh.
The environment and the laughter made Ye Fan feel somewhat uneasy at the bottom of his heart.
The words of Little Fourth suggested that someone was watching them; however, he felt nothing of the sort.
His physical abilities had been enhanced by the System, yet he had detected nothing.
Could it be because Little Fourth had developed supernatural abilities, which enhanced her perception?
And what he knew came from the System, so was there an inherent difference?
Ye Fan was puzzled, he didnât understand.
But why did Little Fourth say she was getting excited?
Surely, his youngest daughter was no ordinary person, her courage was indeed very great.
If it had been someone else, they would have been scared to tears by now, crying and running to find their mother. But Ye Fan noticed that such a bizarre atmosphere and the terrifying setting only made Little Fourth happier, as if she enjoyed such challenges.
Truly a little monster.
But as long as the child was alright, that was good.
If she enjoyed the atmosphere of a haunted house, then he would accompany her through it.
âYou really are brave,â Ye Fan said.
âOf course, Baba is brave too. Iâve inherited that from you,â Little Fourth Ye Jie said with a laugh.
Being the child of her Baba, of course, his courage was big, so hers was naturally the same, not wanting to let Baba down.
âBaba, letâs continue looking further inside!â Ye Jie suggested with eyes full of excitement and curiosity.
Ye Fan felt that Little Fourth might be a bit too excited.
But seeing his beloved daughterâs request, he didnât have the heart to refuse.
âAlright, letâs check out that room over there,â Ye Fan said.
The two of them checked the rooms on both sides but found nothing.
Everything seemed normal.
They returned to the room full of paper figures in the middle and looked around.
âBaba, thereâs nothing here either, but I feel like there could be something. Should we search among these paper figures?â Ye Jie asked, looking at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan watched Ye Jie for a moment and then nodded.
Indeed, they hadnât found an exit.
They couldnât leave for now, and having looked through both rooms, nothing seemed unusual, leaving only the middle hall.
It always felt like there was something here.
Why he thought so, Ye Fan didnât know.
âDing Dong, congratulations Host on receiving a special mission, assist the wrongfully deceased groom and Wang Xiaosheng in meeting by finding the ghost brideâs token of betrothal, a wooden ring, and placing it before Wang Xiaoshengâs spiritual tablet to complete the mission!â
Ye Fan was taken aback and grew very curious.
That isnât right!
Why would such a mission appear now?
Besides, isnât the System supposed to be a Dad System?
How did it have missions like helping others fulfill their wishes?
Ye Fan was very curious.
Something didnât seem right.
âPlease complete the mission, Host. Your child has been targeted by the resentful ghost, so, please complete the mission to remove the curse,â the System chimed in once again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan instantly became afraid.
What did it mean that his child had been targeted?
Ye Fan immediately rushed to Ye Jieâs side, lifted her out of the paper figures, and then noticed that Ye Jieâs complexion seemed off.
He cursed internally; it was indeed true!
Ye Fan was furious, wishing he could burn the place down to the ground.
If only he hadnât brought the child here.
Even with her insistence, they should never have come to this place.
âBaba, whatâs wrong?â Ye Jie asked, puzzled, looking at Ye Fan.
There was anger in Babaâs eyes.
âItâs nothing. Iâm just worried about you!â Ye Fan tried to calm himself.
âIâm fine, Baba. Donât worry,â Ye Jie assured with a laugh.
Although she was a bit pale, her spirit seemed normal, and there were no other signs of discomfort.
Thinking back to Little Fourth saying something had targeted them, specifically Little Fourth, it seemed to be true.
At the time, Ye Fan found it strange.
It turned out to be true.
Children are inherently fragile, and it seemed this was indeed the case.
Now, no matter what, he had to complete this mission for his child.
âYe Jie, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?â Ye Fan asked with concern in his eyes, nervous.
He worried that his child might be affected in other ways.
âIâm fine, Baba. Donât worry,â Little Fourth assured with a smile.
âThatâs good. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell Baba, okay!â Ye Fan said, patting Ye Jieâs head.
Ah, this childâ¦
Now, it was time to find that betrothal token, the wooden ring.
