C18

Rong Shen paid him and asked, "Like me?"

"Something like that."

"Then when I'm not around, let this Sugar Man accompany you." Rong Chen casually said.

Cheng Xiu smiled as he looked at her seriously. He shook his head. "No."

"Why not?"

"It's not deep." Cheng Xiu answered very seriously.

Rong Chen was speechless for a while, but after a while, he pinched his face and said, "Alright, alright."

The town was not big, and it took them less than an afternoon to finish their tour. One man and one ghost returned to the carriage, and they got on it to continue their journey to Carp City.

Several carriages passed by as the carriage moved along the road. There was a team of carriages with boxes on them.

Rong Chen leaned against the cushions in a daze, while Cheng Xiu leaned on the window and looked out. Seeing the convoy running towards them, he suddenly turned around and pulled Rong Chen's sleeve.

"Deep, look."

"What are you looking at?" Rong Shen followed his strength and looked outside. Suddenly, he saw a familiar person. He slightly raised his eyebrows, turned around and pulled Cheng Xiu back, and pressed him down.

"What's there to look at? It's a film crew, do you want to watch them?"

She had just seen the fat man chasing the thief in the town. He must have been the owner of this Shadow Theatre, sitting in a carriage. When Cheng Xiu told her to look, the owner had leaned his body out and was talking to the driver.

"What is a shadow play?" Cheng Xiu asked curiously.

Rong Shen suddenly realized that the little pup had never seen a shadow play before. She frowned and thought for a bit before saying, "It's quite interesting. They also went to Carp City. When the time comes, I'll take you to see one."

"Alright." Cheng Xiu's eyes lit up, he was obviously very happy.

Seeing him happy, Rong Chen was happy as well. At night, the carriage stopped in the wilderness. A man and a ghost sat outside the carriage, looking at the stars in the sky. After feeding Cheng Xiu, they sat for a while.

Cheng Xiu suddenly said, "The moon is very round."

"Yes." Rong Shen replied, suddenly remembering that he was almost fifteen. He said, "Now isn't the time to be full. Do you know that it's called the fifteenth moon?"

Cheng Xiu nodded.

Cheng Xiu sat quietly with her. After a while, the people sitting beside her rested against her shoulder and breathed in and out. Only then did Rong Chen bring them into the carriage, placing a barrier outside the carriage to let the carriage move more smoothly.

Then the boy in black continued to drive the carriage toward Carp City.

When the matter of the full moon was brought up, Rong Chen calculated it carefully and found that tomorrow night was fifteen. For ghosts like Rong Chen, who had existed for who knows how long, it didn't really feel like a full moon, but for those ghosts who were still in the midst of cultivation, the full moon was filled with Yin Qi, and it was the most suitable for cultivation.

Similarly, not only were there ghosts, but demons and demonic cultivators were also present. They were absorbing the essence of the moonlight and even the life force of humans.

If it was possible, he would have to wait for a few days before bringing Cheng Xiu to see a shadow show.

However, when they arrived at Carp City, they sent someone to investigate and found out that the film crew was only able to perform in Carp City for two nights, namely the night of the fifteenth and the sixteenth.

No, Rong Chen couldn't care less whether the 15th and 16th night was chaotic or not. Since he had promised Cheng Xiu that he would take him to see a shadow play, he would take him to see one.
