I write novels in Liyue

Upon seeing this, Fang Qiu was taken aback and looked up at Ying.

"I didn't do it."

Ying shook her head, also somewhat puzzled.

After saying that, she quickly helped Fang Qiu up from the ground and asked, "Are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing."

A slight blush rose on Fang Qiu's pale face. She reached out and took Ying's hand, letting her pull her up from the ground.

As she got up, she slumped against Ying.

"Sorry, I'm a little weak..."

Fang Qiu said, blushing.

"fine."

Ying reached out and helped Fang Qiu up.

Fang Qiu awkwardly wiped away her tears.

While wiping away her tears, she subtly glanced at the spot where she had just been sitting. Seeing that there was no wetness there and that she herself didn't feel damp, she breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so nervous just now...

So, she didn't know if she had been scared enough to do *that*...

Thankfully not...

Otherwise, things could get really serious...

However, although she wasn't scared enough to do anything on the spot, she was now having some thoughts...

Damn it...

I wish I hadn't drunk so much milk with dumpling filling...

"Traveler, what exactly is going on? Have you discovered anything?"

Fang Qiu slightly tightened her legs, forcing herself to ask Ying.

"Fang Qiu... based on my speculation... this dream kingdom you've been longing for might actually be a haunted house..."

Ying said.

"A haunted house? How could it be a haunted house?"

Fang Qiu was stunned and didn't believe it at all, saying, "There's no such thing as a haunted house decorated so dreamily."

"It must be the shop owner's weird sense of humor..."

Ying covered her forehead and said.

This is also why, although she was on guard, she didn't immediately kill the old woman.

Because the old woman showed no murderous intent or desire to attack.

In addition, there's the message on that stand.

Please do not damage the props or harm the staff.

Although I don't know why the old woman suddenly disappeared, she must have achieved her goal of scaring me...

She looked at the sign behind her, paused for a moment, and then said, "Moreover, the words on the sign have changed."

"The characters have changed?"

Fang Qiu was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the signboard with some confusion.

The words on the sign have indeed changed; the original notice has been replaced by two lines of scarlet text.

"Welcome to the haunted house. If you want to get out, just walk forward; the door behind you can't be opened."

Fang Qiu was dumbfounded.

It really is a haunted house!

hateful!

I don't want to find out who has such a twisted sense of humor! Otherwise, I'll definitely get my revenge.

"Traveler...what...what do we do now?"

Fang Qiu stammered as she asked.

"Keep moving forward."

Ying said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

"Ah."

Fang Qiu looked at Ying, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

That's the only way...

Although the shop owner is a jerk, it's not a good idea to just kick the door open...

"let's go."

Ying said.

"Ah."

Fang Qiu took a deep breath and nodded.

After helping the unsteady Fang Qiu take a few steps, Ying looked back at the talisman paper on the ground, which was emitting faint blue smoke, and looked puzzled.

That looks like a talisman paper from Narukami Taisha Shrine...

The old woman we just saw must have been an illusion created by that talisman.

Could it be... that the owner behind this shop is Yae no Kamiko?

Given her personality, she could very well do something that harms others and herself without any benefit...

It's most likely her...

only……

The talisman was clearly smoking and ruined...

Disposable talisman paper?

This cost is way too high...

Even if it's a disposable talisman, the cost of making it is probably more expensive than the ticket...

Besides, a haunted house can't possibly have only one ghost...

If these are all one-time use...

How can we make a profit then?

Ying was puzzled.

"Traveler, what are you looking at?"

Fang Qiu was taken aback, then her delicate body trembled, and she asked in a somewhat frightened tone, "Could there be something behind us?"

"Don't worry, no, I just looked back."

Ying smiled and said.

"That's good."

Fang Qiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ying's reply.

They walked towards the interior of the Dream Kingdom, and just as they reached a corner, they bumped into a bloody head floating in the air. Fang Qiu was so frightened that she almost rolled her eyes back and passed out.

The head remained suspended in the air, motionless and without any other movement, simply staring straight at them.

"Let's go around it."

Just as Fang Qiu was trembling all over, Ying thought for a moment and said.

"what?"

Before Fang Qiu could even think, Ying helped her and walked around the heads of people.

As they took a detour, the bloodied eyes of the head kept following them, and Fang Qiu felt goosebumps all over her body.

This is so creepy!

It looks exactly like the real thing...

She was even considering whether, after she left, she should ask someone from the Heavenly Court to come and take a look...

Thankfully, the head didn't suddenly move, otherwise, she would have reacted instinctively and blasted its head off with an ice-cold sword.

P.S.: One more chapter to come.

Chapter 372 Don't Leave Me Alone

After that, they encountered many more ghosts and monsters.

There were ghosts knocking on doors, dressed in ancient clothes, with ashen faces and cold eyes; ghosts with their hair coiled at the top of the passageway, revealing only their ghostly faces; and ghosts on beds, pushing the corpses of hanged people on swings.

Each time, Fang Qiu would be terrified, her face turning pale and her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Walking in the darkness.

Fang Qiu hugged Ying tightly, pressing his body against hers. Every time they encountered a ghost, Fang Qiu would hug her even tighter.

Feeling the soft touch of Fang Qiu's body and his slightly heavy breathing.

Ying's face flushed slightly.

So close.

They were so close they could hear Fang Qiu's heartbeat.
