C15 The Ghost Women Traveled Together

Yun Yan looked at the Glazed Fire carefully. The woman was floating around her, and the smile on her face was still stiff.

Yun Yan smiled and said, "Sister, this Glazed Fire is really too magical."

The woman circled behind Yun Yan. At this moment, she was still looking at the lantern. Suddenly, she raised her hand. Yun Yan saw a dried and long hand waving behind her. Yun Yan subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see the woman looking at him with a stiff smile.

Yun Yan turned around and said politely, "Sister, you're alone in the mountains at such a late hour. Aren't you afraid?"

The woman chuckled, "What's there to be afraid of? I just feel a little lonely."

Yun Yan laughed dryly, "Sister, you are quite bold."

The woman continued, "I think Young Master is also alone. Why don't we travel together? We can look after each other on the way."

Yun Yan smiled on the surface, but he thought in his heart, "It's good that I'm alone. It seems to be more terrifying than me traveling with you." However, she replied, "I have the same idea. We can look after each other if we travel together."

As she spoke, the woman leaned towards him and unconsciously put her hand on Yun Yan's shoulder. Yun Yan dodged out and smiled at the woman, "Sister … This … I'm not used to it."

The woman smiled and took her hand off Yun Yan's shoulder. The two of them walked down the mountain together. The Glazed Fire floated three steps in front of them, and the faint light of the lantern illuminated the path ahead. Yun Yan's footsteps echoed in the valley. Occasionally, she would step on the withered leaves and branches, making a soft sound. However, she had already noticed that it was the two of them traveling together, but why was it only her footsteps?

Yun Yan's scalp tingled. Although she was only a half-demon, she was most afraid of meeting ghosts. Thinking of their ever-changing appearances and their light bodies, she thought of their stiff smiles, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

Seeing that Yun Yan was only walking forward and did not say anything along the way, the woman said, "Why aren't you talking, Young Master?"

Yun Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head. "Sister, this is my first time going down the mountain. I usually stay in the mountains and don't communicate with people for a long time."

The woman smiled and said, "My name is Qin Ji. How should I address you, Young Master?"

Yun Yan said, "My name is Yun Yan."

Qin Ji continued to smile and said, "Yun Yan, what a good name. Unlike me, my parents gave me a random name. Speaking of which, it's really hard to say."

Yun Yan waved his hand and said, "How could that be? How could that be? Sister's name is very nice."

Qin Ji covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is the first time I've heard someone say that my name is nice."

Yun Yan continued, "Where are you going?"

Qin Ji asked, "Where are you going?"

Yun Yan, who originally wanted to find an opportunity to slip away, was asked by Qin Ji. This time, it was not easy for her to find an excuse to say that she was not on the same path as her.

Yun Yan smiled and said, "Oh, me. Master told me to wait for him in the town ahead. I was too playful and ended up missing the time. Now, Master is probably waiting anxiously."

Qin Ji said, "What a coincidence. I'm also going to the town at the foot of the mountain."

Yun Yan's hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, had been pulled by her countless times, but she was still inexperienced. It was hard for her to encounter such a thing when she went out, but it was not good to say it out loud. She could only pretend to be dumb.

Yun Yan's face was expressionless, but his hands were secretly condensing spiritual energy. He held an icicle tightly in his hand. She did not know what Qin Ji's goal was, nor did she know if she would hurt her. However, she decided that if Qin Ji did anything wrong, Yun Yan would immediately stab her with the icicle in his hand.

Along the way, Qin Ji chatted with her. Yun Yan answered all of her questions. Qin Ji did not do anything out of the ordinary. Seeing that there was some light in front of them, Yun Yan's heart slowly fell into his stomach.

Qin Ji played with the white jade-like flute in her hand. Yun Yan looked at the flute and felt that there was something strange about it. "Sister, what song did you play just now? It sounds a little …"

Qin Ji stopped and turned to look at Yun Yan. "Is it a little miserable?"

Yun Yan did not know how to answer. He only smiled at her and nodded slightly.

Qin Ji suddenly leaned close to Yun Yan and whispered into her ear, "I played a song from the Yellow Springs …"

Yun Yan's body immediately froze when she blew. Her eyes were slightly stunned. She turned to look at Qin Ji. At this moment, her face was still stiff. Yun Yan said slowly, "The Yellow Springs?"

Qin Ji leaned close to her ear and continued, "It's the Yellow Spring..." Then she left Yun Yan's body and laughed, "You must be scared."

Yun Yan quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no." However, her pale face had already betrayed her.

Qin Ji turned the flute in her hand a few times and held it tightly, "Tell me the truth, I'm not a human, I'm just a wandering lonely soul."

Yun Yan broke out in cold sweat. Qin Ji circled around her and sized her up. Yun Yan's body tensed up when she looked at him. Then Qin Ji laughed and said, "Aren't you a human too?"

Yun Yan laughed dryly and said, "Yes, I can see that I'm a half-demon."

Qin Ji clapped her hands and said, "That's great. We ghosts like to catch people to eat. You demons are the same."

As she spoke, she fished for a long time in her wide sleeves. Then she took out something that looked like a lotus root, and there was a little bit of red on it. She handed it to Yun Yan. Yun Yan looked at Qin Ji's expectant expression and took the lotus root from her hand with a trembling hand.

However, this lotus root was different from what he usually saw. The lotus root was hard and stiff, but the thing in her hand was soft and slippery.

At this time, the Glazed Fire floated over excitedly and swayed back and forth around Yun Yan like it was dancing. Yun Yan used the light of the fire to see clearly what she was holding. It was not a lotus root, but a child's arm. The slippery thing was the blood flowing out of the arm.

Yun Yan was startled and threw the thing in his hand far away. Qin Ji quickly walked forward and picked up the arm Yun Yan threw away. She used her sleeve to wipe it and her eyes were filled with heartache and pity. She shook her head at Yun Yan and said, "I was kind enough to share this arm with you. How can you be so ungrateful?"

Yun Yan knew that his behavior just now was a bit rude, so he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, sister. Just now … I was wrong. I thought it was a lotus root, so I …"

Qin Ji glanced at him and said with a face full of disdain, "Aren't you a demon? Why are you even afraid of eating people?"

Yun Yan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "I'm a half-demon, haha, a half-demon …" Then he muttered softly, "Even if I eat, I eat birds and insects. When will I eat humans?"
