Chapter 283: Chapter 123: Lady Yan’s General Store, Visitor Arrives

Li Yuan: ...

Originally, he was worried that his wife would change, but now it seems she hasn’t changed at all.

However, he was still very curious.

Lady Yan said, "Ghosts are extremely Yin, but what maintains my consciousness is the bond between my husband, Xiaozhao, and me, along with others...

When my husband and I became intimate, it strengthened this bond, allowing me to maintain my current state."

She silently pondered for a moment and said, "Husband, you can think of this bond as the obsession of a new evil ghost... but this obsession has warmth and humanity."

Li Yuan softly said, "Then I’ll wrap the [Thousand-Mile in a Line] you gave me around you and come to see you every day."

Lady Yan rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, don’t. How can you use such a tool on a ghost?

It’s like forcibly bringing two ghosts together.

If these two ghosts are compatible, they might merge; however, it’s more likely they’ll just briefly touch and then separate, or at most, limit the interaction to the Yin Qi on the tool, without summoning the actual evil ghost.

Previously, the rouge shop vendor targeted Xiaozhao in this way. Our distance wasn’t far, so it came to launch an attack, but I kept pulling it to attack, leading to a fusion.

But if you use this tool on me, it would be as if launching an attack on me, and afterwards... I would have to follow the rule to kill you.

So, husband, don’t use it."

"Besides..."

She paused briefly, smiled, and said, "Husband doesn’t need to use it."

"Why?"

"Because, as long as you are in Shanbao County and you fall asleep at night, you can see me."

...

...

That night, Li Yuan returned to Baihua Manor, and after a passionate session with the landlady, making a full stop to their previous intimacy, he closed his eyes and entered into a dream.

This time, his dream was indeed different.

The pitch-black room barely let in a sliver of light.

A white shadow stood eerily in front of the window, with its back to Li Yuan.

The white shadow was deathly pale, exuding an indescribable eeriness, and although Li Yuan already knew of these matters, he was still a bit surprised...

Because the terrifying silhouette wasn’t so similar to his wife.

Li Yuan wanted to close his eyes, to accept his wife’s transformation, but his eyelids wouldn’t shut... aside from being able to roll his eyes, he couldn’t move any other part of his body, nor could he make a sound.

"Sister Yan, let me move a bit, will you?"

Li Yuan wanted to shout, but couldn’t utter a word.

Yet, even before he could, the pressure around him vanished.

The oppressive weight in the air shattered completely.

He could move his body again.

Li Yuan looked at the white silhouette by the window, staring in confusion for a while before taking a deep breath and walking forward.

No matter what form his wife takes, whether an evil ghost or a monster, as long as it’s Sister Yan, he would accept it.

One step...

Two steps...

Three steps...

He got closer and closer to the white silhouette, about to call out Yan Yu’s name, when he suddenly heard laughter behind him.

It was Yan Yu’s laughter.

"Husband, who are you searching for, Feng’Er?"

Li Yuan’s face showed surprise, as he turned around abruptly, only to see a petite beautiful woman in a snow-white dress not far behind, covering a little girl’s mouth, looking at him with a smile.

"Sister Yan!"

"Xiaozhao!"

Li Yuan quickly walked over, looking at her, then at the figure by the window, confusion on his face.

Yan Yu said, "On Ghost Street, we are separate, yet in fact, we are one."

With that, she released her daughter’s mouth, and Xiaozhao happily circled to Li Yuan’s left side, linking her arm with her father’s left hand, while Lady Yan hugged Li Yuan’s right hand.

With his wife and daughter by his side, even if this place were a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, Li Yuan felt slightly at ease.

Yan Yu cheekily clung to his arm, and little Xiaozhao followed suit.

Though deep within Ghost Street, Li Yuan felt a hint of warmth in his heart.

The three came to the door, and Yan Yu pushed it open.

Outside the door was a deep, small corridor, connecting to another door.

That door was slightly ajar, revealing a glowing outline.

"Husband, let’s go have a look."

Yan Yu teased.

Li Yuan didn’t ask out of curiosity but walked through the door together with his wife and daughter.

Upon entering, a warm, sunlit atmosphere immediately emerged.

It was a bright big shop, with large windows, seating and tea tables by the window, as well as a curved counter in the center and display windows.

In the display windows were various rouges and a type of small black bag.

A gray-clothed woman with a warm smile hurried into the shop,

a wooden tray hanging from her neck. The rouge on the tray had already sold out,

so she went to the display window to fetch more rouge for the tray, then hastily walked out again, her voice calling out repeatedly like a recorder.

"Passing by, don’t miss out, come and take a look, rouge and powder, fair deals for all..."

"Dear guest, the new shop is open, come take a look..."

Meanwhile, the back door they entered through opened once more,

and Feng’Er, who had been leaning by the window all along, walked out, quietly exiting the door, her black hair hanging down her face, standing in front of a cabinet, but unlike the gray-clothed woman, she didn’t venture out, just stood there like a cold ghost statue.

Li Yuan watched these scenes in amazement.

His gaze swept over the goods displayed in the window.

The goods were just rouges and those small black bags.

But clearly, a bright big shop selling only two items felt a little out of place and odd, giving a "so much space for just two items, it’s too few" impression.
