Half an hour later.
The taxi slowly entered a dimly lit street where eerie winds whistled around. Compared to the bustling and noisy streets outside, it was like two different worlds.
No matter how you looked at it, it felt creepy and horrifying.
"Young man, it’s here. Walk straight ahead, and you’ll see the Heavenly Life sign."
Through the front mirror, one could see the driver’s uncle’s lips trembling, his Adam’s apple bobbing, his voice low and shaky.
He didn’t dare drive any further because he was too scared to go there.
"Thanks, sir. Keep the change."
Ye Tian took out two hundred yuan bills, pushed open the car door, and walked out. He glanced at the mysterious girl wrapped like a zombie:
"I’m getting off. If you want to go back, just tell the driver."
"Goodbye."
Since getting in the car, the girl had hardly spoken but kept glancing at him now and then, her thoughts unclear.
The girl, resembling a frightened little rabbit, suddenly curled up and said softly, "Ah?? Where... where are we??"
She stuck her head out, looking around. The atmosphere resembled that of a haunted house, scaring her back into the car.
Ye Tian smiled faintly and shook his head, "If you want to go sowhere, tell the driver yourself."
Finished speaking, Ye Tian began to walk forward, step by step.
The girl looked at Ye Tian, then at the driver. She had just arrived in Yunhai City, unfamiliar with the place, and this secluded location was far from safe for a girl alone...
Thinking of Ye Tian’s god-like appearance, she bit her lip, deciding it was better to follow the handso guy than to be alone, and hurriedly got out.
"Young brother, listen to . That place is terrifying. You’re too weak to follow. There’s no place to catch a cab there."
The driver saw the girl hesitating through the rearview mirror. Although she wore many clothes, it was clear she was frail.
So he couldn’t help but offer a word of advice.
"It’s... it’s fine. I’ll go with him."
"Goodbye, sir."
The girl waved her hand at the driver without explaining much and ran towards Ye Tian.
"This... this voice, why does it sound like a girl?"
The driver shook his head and silently started the car.
However, there was a faint sinister laughter in the darkness: "Hehe, the prey has arrived. Let’s eat the taxi driver first."
"Leave those two tasty morsels for the boss."
Two shadowy figures appeared on the taxi’s windshield, their faces unclear but their blood-stained teeth bared in a nacing smile.
The driver broke into a cold sweat, his hands trembling, breathless, pointing at them: "You... you... what are you??"
"Please... don’t eat ; I... I have a family to support, please..."
Now he regretted coming here, only to encounter such evil beings. This ti he was really in trouble.
Ye Tian smiled wickedly, flicking his fingers. A stream of energy flashed through the shadowy figures, and with a bang, they were reduced to ashes.
The driver heard a voice beside his ear: "Leave quickly; it’s dangerous here."
Coming back to his senses, he exclaid excitedly: "A high master, it must be a high master."
In no ti, he burst out with the driving skill polished over fifty years.
Releasing the clutch, stepping on the gas, shifting to fourth gear, the car roared away in a burst of speed.
.....
The girl tried to catch up with Ye Tian and called out: "Hey, can you... wait for ? I... I’m scared."
"Don’t walk so fast."
Ye Tian looked at the girl in surprise and slowed his pace a bit. She quickly ran over and grabbed his arm.
"Why... why did you co here if you have no business? It’s so scary. Can we go back??"
Clinging tightly to his arm, her tone was pleading.
Ye Tian was puzzled. They were strangers; go back where? Moreover, he was here to rescue Xiao Pang and wouldn’t leave.
"We?? I don’t even know you. Go back where?" Ye Tian pried her hands away, looking at her in confusion.
The girl, however, seed rather adorable and said cutely: "You Huaxia people value hospitality, don’t you?? You need to be modest, kind, help like a hero."
Ye Tian watched as she counted on her fingers, spouting all sorts of profound Huaxian expressions.
Huaxia people?? This woman was clearly not from Huaxia.
Ye Tian quickly interrupted her: "Stop, follow for now. I’ll take you ho after I finish my business."
She spun in place, jumping around: "Hee-hee, that’s more like it. Let’s go!"
As they walked down the street, the eerie winds picked up. The streets were littered with garbage, flies buzzing everywhere, exuding a dreary vibe.
So charred items appeared to have been burned in a fire.
The girl followed behind Ye Tian, clutching his clothes, constantly looking back to see if he was still there.
"What’s with this woman, acting all sneaky, dressed so heavily at night?"
Ye Tian thought silently but refrained from using the Divine Eye’s x-ray vision.
He wasn’t that kind of man.
"Boom, boom, boom~~~~"
Suddenly, explosive music echoed through the street, breaking the silence.
Ye Tian looked ahead, seeing colorful lights flashing with a large sign reading "Heavenly Life" at the entrance.
"Hey, Wood, there seems to be a bar ahead. Let’s go check it out," the girl said excitedly, tugging at Ye Tian’s clothes.
Not long ago, she had given Ye Tian the nickna "Wood" because she had been talking to him nonstop to ease her fear, but he didn’t respond.
Thus, the nickna Wood was born.
Ye Tian looked at her, finding her adorably foolish: "Alright, just don’t scream."
The girl muttered under her breath, "Hmph, I’m a great singer, you’ll see."
Ye Tian led the girl into Heavenly Life, where the people moving about wore expressionless faces, exuding a cold aura.
A quick scan with his Divine Thought revealed Xiao Pang in the southwest corner, tremblingly holding a glass of wine, gulping and swallowing hard: "Big brother and sister, I can’t dance with this body."
"You guys go ahead; I’ll... I’ll drink."
He was surrounded by several people, including a scantily clad woman looking at him seductively: "Xiao Pang, it’s fine. I’ll dance with you."
Seeing her, Xiao Pang scread in fear, his beer falling to the ground, lips pale. She was the scariest person to him.
More terrifying than Zhenzi from "Ring!!!"
"Xiao Pang, dancing on graves, is it fun?"
Ye Tian walked up to Xiao Pang, patting his shoulder with a smile.
Seeing Ye Tian, Xiao Pang held onto him like a lifeline: "Wah~~~ Brother Tian, you... you finally ca. Xiao... Xiao Pang is so scared."
"I won’t go to bars anymore. No more grave dancing."
Ye Tian pushed him away, looking coldly at the people around: "What?? Still not showing your true form?"
"Grrr..."
Low growls echoed, the colorful lights dimd, revealing the true forms of the Yin Spirits.
"Ahhh, Wood, help !!"
