Chapter 422: The Yin House Banquet

~8 min read 1,443 words

Pale Impermanence Ghosts danced a bizarre dance.

They got closer and closer to the Yin House, their scarlet eyes greedily watching the people who had fled into the Yin House, but they couldn't enter and could only wander outside the Yin House.

Zhao Zhao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

The mad woman looked puzzled. She had stayed in the underground maze for a long time but had never seen a monster like the White Impermanence.

Gong Gong Xiujuan said respectfully to the old lady of the Yin House: "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do. How should we address you?"

"You're welcome. My husband's surname is Li, you can call me Granny Li." The old lady of the Yin House turned around, stooping her body and walking toward the inside of the Yin House. "Those Impermanence Ghosts won't give up easily. You should hide in my house for a while, and you can also relax a little."

The three of them hesitated slightly before following behind Granny Li.

Before entering the Yin House, Gong Gong Xiujuan thought she would enter a pile of rotting meat, everywhere charred black meat and blood, every detail disgusting.

But unexpectedly, it was clean and bright here.

The floor was tiled, the walls were a mix of wood panels and wallpaper, and the ceiling had long artistic strip lights. This place didn't look like the Yin House of a ghost, but more like a high-end residential building.

She didn't know how Granny Li had transformed the charred corpse to such an extent.

Passing through long stairs and corridors, the three of them finally arrived at the living room. There were several small cloth dolls piled here, some looking like heads, some like spiders, but all in a short, round, cute style.

The mad woman sat on the soft sofa and rubbed against it comfortably.

An expression of having lived through a lifetime appeared on her face.

She couldn't remember how long it had been since she sat on a soft sofa.

Granny Li placed the tea tray on the coffee table and asked: "Dear guests, how is my home?"

"It's too surprising. I thought it would be more..." Gong Gong Xiujuan stopped; it wouldn't be polite to continue.

"You thought it would be more dilapidated, right." Granny Li shook her head, "How could I treat my own house like that?"

Granny Li poured tea for the three of them with a look of emotion.

"In order to buy this Yin House, I struggled for decades after death, collecting the Yang energy of over a hundred people, just to exchange for such a Yin House that perfectly fits me. How could I decorate it randomly and not cherish it?"

Gong Gong Xiujuan smiled and agreed: "I didn't expect that even after death, one still has to worry about real estate."

"Living or dead, as long as you don't want to be displaced, no one can escape... The tea is ready, please enjoy."

The tea was crimson, emitting a rich honey fragrance.

This fragrance was very attractive to the three of them, but none of them picked up the teacup.

Entering the Yin House was being driven to a desperate situation. Now that they were slightly safer, they had another layer of vigilance against the seemingly kind Granny Li.

They didn't want to eat or drink anything here, they just wanted to escape from the Yin House as soon as the Impermanence Ghosts left.

Bang! A huge Impermanence Ghost's eye was pressed against the window. It seemed those monsters still didn't want to let them go.

Gurgle, gurgle...

Zhao Zhao Zixuan's stomach growled.

He was just a high school student, at an age where he would be hungry at twelve if he ate at ten. Since entering the underground maze, he hadn't had a proper meal for a long time.

The food supplies in the large cavern had all rotted. They had to wait for Wu Xian to return from hunting to have new food.

"Hungry, right? Granny will find you something to eat."

Granny Li ignored the three people's obstruction, got up and entered the kitchen. After a while, she brought out dish after dish.

Steamed buns, roast chicken, pig head, and some fresh fruit.

"These are all filial offerings from my descendants on the anniversary of my death. Eat with peace of mind, these dishes are fresh."

The temptation of food made all three of them move. Zhao Zhao Zixuan was the first to be unable to resist. He tore off a chicken leg, studied it carefully for a while, and then took a bite, his mouth full of oil.

He was too hungry to think about so much.

If something looks like a chicken leg, feels like a chicken leg, and tastes like a chicken leg, then it is a chicken leg.

Granny Li was full of kindness.

"You're eating so deliciously. My biggest dream was to have a home. Now I have a house, but my home is empty. I also want to have a big grandson like you."

Zhao Zhao Zixuan wolfed down the food, unable to reply, just nodding frequently at her.

This way of eating made the mad woman's index finger move. She reached out and grabbed a steamed bun, but the moment her hand touched the bun, she bounced away as if electrocuted. After dancing around for a while, she sat on the sofa in disappointment.

Gong Gong Xiujuan knew she was often crazy, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

She waited until Zhao Zhao Zixuan was full and didn't show any discomfort before carefully picking up a steamed bun, studying it for a long time but not daring to take a bite.

Granny Li urged: "Eat quickly, I promise you, these are definitely not bad things. They aren't rotten, aren't insects, and won't be mixed with corpse oil or coffin nails..."

From Gong Gong Xiujuan's perspective, Granny Li had been an ally from the beginning and had saved their lives, so she didn't want to hurt Granny Li's face too much.

So she hesitated for two seconds and took a bite of the steamed bun.

The moment she bit into the steamed bun, Gong Gong Xiujuan's lips turned bright red, and she threw the bun away with a violent flick of her hand.

The red-lipped female malevolent entity appeared again!

That steamed bun wasn't rotten, nor were there insects, but it was something even more terrifying.

"That steamed bun is alive!"

Granny Li's expression changed drastically. Kind-hearted deception was the way to deal with ordinary people. If there was a malevolent entity mixed in among these three, the response method would have to change.

In the astonished eyes of the mad woman and Zhao Zhao Zixuan, all the dishes on the dining table turned charred black, then slowly softened, began to flow, and finally merged into the Yin House.

What Zhao Zhao Zixuan had just eaten was part of the Yin House!

"Ugh!"

Zhao Zhao Zixuan leaned on the sofa, wanting to vomit out what he had eaten.

But as he vomited, he stood up stiffly, his expression gradually becoming hollow, his complexion turning gray and white. He walked to Granny Li's side and held her arm.

"Grandma!"

Zhao Zhao Zixuan called out coquettishly, and Granny Li beamed with joy.

The red-lipped female malevolent entity had a cold expression.

She wanted to stand up and attack Granny Li, but was surprised to find that she was stuck to the sofa!

It turned out that the part of the sofa connected to her body was turning into charred black flesh and blood, merging with her clothes. If she sat for a while longer, it would probably invade her body directly from the outside.

Rip!

The red-lipped female malevolent entity didn't hesitate, tore off her pajamas, and returned to the state of wearing only underwear. Her legs were long, straight, and powerful, and a pair of bright red high heels were exceptionally eye-catching.

Bang! The red-lipped female malevolent entity kicked the sofa away, pulled the mad woman, and ran outside.

Although she was a malevolent entity, she was only a cashier after all and didn't want to fight Granny Li on Granny Li's home turf. Escaping from this Yin House quickly was the best choice at this moment.

Granny Li didn't chase after them, just hooked her mouth at the backs of the two, the wrinkles on her face making her expression very sinister.

"Run, run, you will come back."

"Once you enter the door, you are family!"
