Tang Zitong walked out from the shadows in the corner, looking shocked and in disbelief.
She pointed at Tang Li, and her fingers were trembling from excitement. âCousin⦠youâ¦â
She was shocked that Tang Li and Qi Yihan were so intimate. It was completely different from what she knew.
What was unbelievable was that Tang Li knew how to catch ghosts.
Looking at her, Tang Li showed Tang Zitong the hand that was holding Qi Yihanâs and said. âSee that? We actually love each other. Next time, be careful with what you say.â
Tang Zitong subconsciously nodded and asked, âBut why do people say you two are about to get a divorce.â
Tang Li turned her gaze towards Qi Yihan, waiting for him to reply.
Qi Yihan narrowed his eyes, looking displeased. âWe wonât get a divorce.â
Hearing that, Tang Li was relieved and looked at Tang Zitong.
Tang Zitongâs expression changed several times before she smiled. âThatâs great. I never wanted you guys to divorce. I think good-looking people should get together with good-looking people. This way, we wonât waste the good genes of both parties. The children born in the future will be more beautiful.â
Tang Li was speechless.
As expected of words from a vain person!
After saying that, Tang Zitong suddenly remembered something more important.
âCousin, when did you become a Taoist priest?â
âIâm not a Taoist priest .â
âThen how do you know how to catch ghosts? Are you⦠an immortal?â
ââ¦Not really.â
âThatâs impossible. If youâre neither of them, how come you can catch ghosts?â Tang Zitong walked up to Tang Li in two steps and grabbed her hand. She had a look of admiration on her face. âCousin, I didnât know you well enough in the past. I always couldnât stand what you did. But now I understand. Youâre definitely a master, and itâs understandable that masters behave differently.â
âIâve never been nice to you before. Donât be angry at me. Iâll definitely treat you as my dear cousin sister in the future. Oh, no⦠Youâre a master. Itâs rude of me to call you cousin.â
Three black lines appeared on Tang Liâs forehead again. âYou are overreacting.â
Tang Li did not expect her cousinâs personality to be so⦠whimsical.
No wonder the Host couldnât get along with her.
Tang Li asked her, âWho are you here with? Why didnât you call your family before you came?â
âWellâ¦â Tang Zitong smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.â Iâm here with someone I got to know online. I thought that the scene weâre playing would only take half a day. Itâll only be afternoon when Iâm done playing. I donât need to tell my family. â
âWho knew that the scene we entered was the scene of Daiyu burying the flower? As I exchanged a word with Daiyu, the setting changed completely. Then, that old witch appeared.â
Tang Li looked at her with a straight face, not knowing what to say.
Qi Yihan tilted his head to look at Tang Li and said, âLetâs find the other missing people first and leave.â
Tang Li nodded silently and took out a voice transmission talisman from her pocket. She said to the voice transmission talisman, âIf everyone here wants to leave this place alive, come to the golden light you see.â
As soon as she finished speaking, the courtyard emitted a golden light.
Tang Zitongâs eyes widened, and she admired Tang Li even more. âCousin, youâre so amazing!â
The three of them stood in the courtyard for a while and saw several girls walking over from different directions.
When these girls saw Tang Li and Qi Yihan, their eyes were filled with anticipation and fear.
They were obviously not as daring as Tang Zitong. Even though they came with hope, they did not dare to approach them.
When Tang Zitong saw them, she quickly waved at them. âEveryone, hurry up and come over. My cousin and her husband are here to save us. Let me tell you, my cousin is a master. She killed that old witch and her men just now.â
With Tang Zitongâs help, the girls heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Tang Li said, âDonât be afraid. Iâm here for my cousin. Since youâre all here, Iâll definitely take you all out.â
They then walked towards them.
The girls captured by the old female ghost were all pretty good-looking. When the few of them walked over, Tang Li asked how they came to be here.
Their experiences were similar to Tang Zitongâs, but they werenât kidnapped at the same place.
After everyone finished speaking, Tang Zitong asked, âCousin, how can we go out?â
The other girls looked at Tang Li expectantly.
âLetâs go to the courtyard you mentioned and bring the others out.â
âThose girls who have already become grannies?â
At this point, Tang Zitong couldnât help but worry for them. âThey look very old now. Will they be able to go back to normal life again?â
âYou donât have to worry about anything else. Just show me the way.â
âAlright.â Tang Zitong brought the group of people to the most remote courtyard.
Along the way, there was no longer any flourishing or beautiful scenery like before. All the buildings in the area were run-down, and the flowers and trees were all withered, making the place look especially desolate.
This caused the hearts of the girls behind Tang Li to shudder.
Tang Zitong was also afraid. She leaned on Tang Li and walked. âCousin, whatâs going on here? This place is so different.â
âThis is the old womanâs grave.â
It was fine if Tang Li didnât say anything, but once she did, some girls started crying.
Hearing, Tang Zitong leaned even closer to Tang Li.
They walked for a while before they arrived at the remote courtyard Tang Zitong mentioned.
This place was even more dilapidated, and there was a rotten smell coming from the courtyard. This made the girlsâ faces turn pale.
Tang Li gestured to them. âJust stand here. You donât have to follow me in.â
With that, she prepared to go in alone.
She heard footsteps behind her.
Tang Li tilted her head to look.
Qi Yihan said, âIâll go in with you.â
Tang Li reminded him, âThe situation inside might be a little scary.â
âNoted.â
The two of them walked towards the courtyard door.
The door to this courtyard was so dilapidated that it collapsed with a push.
After a loud bang, the scene inside was indeed a little scary.
Several new and old skeletons were lying there. There were rats and bugs scurrying over the bones. Under the eaves of the house in the courtyard, two old women with numb faces were huddling together. Beside them was an old woman.
Even the sound of the wooden door collapsing did not attract their attention.
Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, âDid this courtyard become like this because when that old witch is gone, her magic is gone too?â
âProbably. Otherwise, my cousin wouldnât dare to come here.â
The two of them walked in together.
