Chapter 233: Chapter 113: Husband and Wife Side by Side, Ghost Realm Border

"But on Ghost Street, don’t they usually avoid taking action?"

"Ghost Street is just a place with chaotic energies, and it’s constrained by a larger rule of trade.

The chaotic energies force all ghosts and humans to face each other, which is the only way they can affect one another. However, if a human triggers a ghost’s rule, the ghost can still take action.

The rule of trade refers to the vendors and those shops.

Ordinary people who accidentally enter Ghost Street can leave as long as they buy something from a vendor.

If a wanderer enters a shop, as long as they buy something, the ghost in the shop won’t harm you. On the contrary... you can’t get out."

"I see..." Li Yuan suddenly understood. He pondered and said, "So if Zhong Mansion is full of people but ghosts arrive and have nowhere to stay, they’ll knock on the door? And then conflict erupts?"

"Yes." Lady Yan replied, "Then, typically, the ghosts will kill the humans, and move into the room."

"What’s in the depths of the street?"

"Scarier ghosts."

"Are they... shops too?"

"No, there are also various larger houses, bigger spaces like gardens, Miracle Beast Gardens, palaces, even brothels..."

"And beyond that?"

"I don’t know, neither Feng’Er nor the vendors know."

"Are there other streets?"

"Yes."

"Why are there so many streets?"

"The end of our street is the Miracle Beast Garden. It’s normal to have many shops in front of the Miracle Beast Garden, right?

And for the other palaces and gardens in front of them, shops too are common, isn’t it?"

"Do you have to pass through the Miracle Beast Garden to reach other streets?"

"No, it’s determined by the entrance. If you enter Ghost Street around here, you’ll end up here.

If you go to Jade Capital and enter Ghost Street from there, it could be another street."

"I see."

Li Yuan asked many questions in one breath.

Lady Yan in gray patiently answered each one.

Then they both fell silent.

"Let’s go back."

"Hmm... I’ll walk you to the street entrance."

"I’ll come find you in the Ghost Realm tonight."

"Bring Xiaozhao... She’s a Jade Remains, and she can never grow like a normal child anymore.

Hiding it from her and still trying to give her a normal child’s life is just deceiving ourselves, only harming her.

She won’t be happy."

Lady Yan slightly tilted her head and smiled, both mysteriously and gently, "Our daughter should walk her own path, not the path of happiness in others’ eyes.

Just like when you took Tang Nian to see Old Tang’s death back then.

Old Tang wanted to hide it from Tang Nian, but would that have really made Tang Nian happy?

The truth is harsh, but we still need to know it because only then can we live truthfully.

No one needs to feel inferior; since Xiaozhao is a Jade Remains, let me teach her, tell her she isn’t a normal person, and doesn’t need to be...

She’s a special child and should take a special path.

Even if there’s no one else on this path, she should walk it with a smile."

"I understand."

Li Yuan agreed wholeheartedly with his wife’s words.

In his eyes, his wife was becoming more and more magnanimous.

The two of them began to walk back.

Lady Yan in gray reverted to her vendor appearance.

Halfway there, they saw a group of wanderers rushing in from the opposite side of the road.

But upon seeing the pair, these wanderers quickly gave way, retreating to both sides.

All eyes were focused on Li Yuan.

But no one dared to block the way.

Among the wanderers, a man in a red robe suddenly glanced at a tall, skinny wanderer as if conveying some message.

The tall, skinny wanderer hesitated, refusing.

The red-robed man’s eyes flared with intensity, glaring at him.

Instantly, the tall, skinny wanderer gritted his teeth, his eyes gloomily fixed on Li Yuan, then suddenly took two quick steps forward and called, "Senior, please wait."

Li Yuan ignored him and walked toward the exit with Lady Yan in gray.

The tall, skinny wanderer followed them step by step, clutching something tightly in his hand, yet hesitating.

Meanwhile, the other wanderers followed behind, not getting close.

At that moment, the red-robed man coughed heavily.

This cough immediately prompted the tall, skinny wanderer to make a decision, and he called out again, "Senior, could you please stop, I have something I wish to consult."

Li Yuan understood completely; this group only wanted to know why the vendor was walking with him.

If he stopped, he feared he might not be able to leave unscathed.

He couldn’t stop.

Meanwhile, Lady Yan beside him remained calm.

The tall, skinny wanderer showed a fierce expression, subtly pulling out a rabbit-shaped candy from his sleeve, then began licking it quickly while concealing it with his sleeve.

Licking a candy should be a joyful act, but the wanderer licked as if his life depended on it, his tongue spasmodically and frantically darting over it.

His eyes quietly focused on Li Yuan’s back.

He hated it. He hated why this wanderer wouldn’t stop, and he also hated the red-robed man for forcing him to advance.

In the next instant, before Li Yuan could react, Lady Yan suddenly slowed down a step.

This single step placed her behind Li Yuan.

In an instant, the gaze of the tall, skinny wanderer, while licking the candy, fell upon Lady Yan.

The tall, skinny wanderer was stunned, his face changing dramatically.

Immediately, he felt a heavy, cold weight on his back, like an immense iron block pressing upon him.

Trembling with fear, he turned to look and saw a female ghost with a contorted face, disheveled hair, and no whites in its eyes clinging to his shoulder, and those swollen, bloody hands... were strangling his neck.

...

Li Yuan safely reached the exit of Ghost Street.

The people from Zhong Mansion were cautiously following from a distance.

At this moment, no one dared to approach or make any move.
