After leaving the room and turning left, Shen Yaowei saw Yan Bei guarding Huo Junhan’s door.
She strode forward and smiled brightly at Yan Bei. “Yan Bei, can 1 go in?”
However, Yan Bei didn’t seem to see her. He looked up at the sky and touched his stomach. “Yes, it’s time to go to the toilet.”
With that, he walked down the steps in front of the house and headed straight for the toilet.
Shen Yaowei pushed open the door and walked in.
Just as she had thought, Huo Junhan was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, still holding the jade pendant in his hand.
She quietly approached the bed, took off her shoes and socks, and lay on the bed. She reached out and hugged Huo Junhan skillfully.
Putting her hand on the blood jade pendant, Shen Yaowei took a deep breath of the faint fragrance emitted by Huo Junhan and closed her eyes.
Outside, a cold full moon hung in the dark night sky, casting cold moonlight on the ground.
Outside the door of Landlord Liu’s backyard, a slender figure stood in front of the door.
The cold moonlight shone on the man’s handsome face, reflecting the strange light flowing in his eyes like red threads.
“Yaoyao should be asleep at this time…” Shen Yuyan’s low murmur came from his thin lips, which seemed a little obvious in the quiet night. “1’11 just take a look at her and leave. It shouldn’t be a problem…”
While speaking, Shen Yuyan glanced at the high courtyard wall.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly swept past. Dark clouds covered the moon in the night sky, and the entire ground fell into an even thicker darkness.
A gentle voice slowly sounded in Shen Yuyan’s ears.
“Why aren’t you here yet? Come quickly. We’re all waiting for you…”
Shen Yuyan stopped climbing over the wall and slowly turned his head to the north.
From his angle, he could see a part of Oriole Mountain standing in the night. The top of the mountain was sharp, like a lonely grave.
As for that gentle and almost strange voice, it came from Oriole Mountain.
The blood in Shen Yuyan’s eyes quickly spread to his entire eye socket. He raised his foot and walked towards the north, step by step.
In the silent night, there were a few people in black robes hurrying towards Oriole Mountain.
At the foot of Oriole Mountain, there were already several black-robed men kneeling outside the Mountain God Temple.
Their faces were covered with black masks, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes. They were staring at the Mountain God Temple with extremely pious eyes.
“Bow to the Mountain God!” Accompanied by the voice of the black-robed man kneeling at the front, the black-robed men’s movements were uniform as they kowtowed fiercely to the ground.
After a total of three kowtows, blood appeared on the ground in front of each black-robed man. Their foreheads were broken, and blood flowed from the injured areas into their eyes. However, their eyes were filled with happiness.
As the black-robed man kneeling in front stood up, the other black-robed men also stood up.
“Village Chief, did you prepare the sacrifices this time?” A black-robed man asked the black-robed man in the lead in a hoarse voice.
The black-robed man in the lead was Village Chief Huang. His originally turbid eyes had completely turned a strange red. He rolled his eyes and looked at the black-robed man who had asked the question. “1 prepared it. Originally, Landlord Liu’s family should have prepared the offerings this time. However, because His Highness Li is staying at their house, in order to not let irrelevant people disturb our sacrificial ceremony to the Mountain God, Landlord Liu’s family isn’t allowed to participate in this sacrificial ceremony.”
“All, Landlord Liu’s family didn’t send anyone this time. It’s a great disrespect to the Mountain God. Won’t the Mountain God blame their family when the time comes?” another black-robed person said.
“Hehe, who said that Landlord Liu’s family didn’t send anyone?” At this moment, the girl standing beside Village Chief Huang said faintly..
