Shen Yaowei didn’t ask further. She got up and sat beside Cang Ye. Then, she saw Cang Ye take out a bag of jerky as if he was performing a magic trick.
He placed the dried meat on the fire and roasted it. Then he took a piece and handed it to Shen Yaowei. “Eat.”
Shen Yaowei took it.
There was no moisture in the fragrant jerky. It was filled with the fragrance of meat when she took a bite. She was full after eating a piece.
Cang Ye didn’t stay long. After sitting beside Shen Yaowei and eating a piece of jerky, he got up to rest.
As night fell, Shen Yaowei sat in front of the fire and dozed off. She simply got up and walked towards the small forest not far away.
There was a lake in the woods. She had to go to the lake to wash her face and wake up.
Under the moonlight, the calm lake was sparkling, reflecting the afterimages of the moonlight. It was beautiful.
Shen Yaowei squatted by the lake and reached out to touch the lake.
The bone-chilling cold entered her body through her fingertips. Shen Yaowei could clearly feel her consciousness being shaken.
The evil aura invaded her body and attacked her spirit crazily. She knew that she had come prepared.
The Ghost Shadow Forest was filled with danger, but those animals and plants were direct and had a single attack method. Very few things would go through so much trouble to set up traps.
Shen Yaowei couldn’t help but be interested. She wrapped the ball of evil aura with the spiritual power in her body. After confirming that the evil aura wouldn’t corrode her body, she deliberately pretended to be weak and fell to the ground weakly.
As soon as she lay down, a sinister smile came from the lake.
The man’s voice was low and pleasant, echoing faintly in the air. “This woman is indeed beautiful. 1’11 bring her back to marry me. I’m going to bring her back to the ghost race and accompany her for eternity!”
Ghost race?
Shen Yaowei was attracted by these words. She simply lay on the ground without moving and narrowed her eyes at the lake.
As the man’s deep voice dissipated, ripples appeared on the originally calm lake.
In the dark night, the eerie sound of a suona suddenly resounded.
The suona played a joyous tune as a paper effigy carrying a palanquin appeared from the bottom of the lake.
It was actually a group of paper effigies. Their pale faces were dotted with black ink and their eyes were empty and lifeless. Their crimson cheeks and blood-stained cherry mouths made them look extremely eerie.
The key was that these paper effigies had already been soaked in water. The ink on their faces was a mess, and their entire bodies were limp. Their paper skin was broken, revealing balls of twitching tender flesh.
“Picking up the bride—”
The leading paper effigy’s shoulders were dented by the armrest of the sedan chair. Its body was tilted. It clearly had no mouth, but its voice came from its stomach, sounding extremely strange and sinister.
Shen Yaowei looked at the wet sedan chair and felt that it had been used countless times. The red cloth covering the surface was already a little white. At a glance, she didn’t know if this sedan chair was used for a joyous occasion or a funeral.
Just as Shen Yaowei was wondering if she should continue pretending or attack immediately, an invisible force suddenly lifted her body.
Shen Yaowei frowned as she was forcefully sent into the sedan chair by this force.
She had yet to sit in Junhan’s sedan chair. How could she let a ghost take advantage of her?
She reached out and touched the curtain of the bridal sedan. Shen Yaowei’s fingertips were repelled by an invisible force.
Seeing her fair fingertips turn black, Shen Yaowei’s eyes darkened. After some thought, she sat in the sedan chair.
She wanted to see who was so bold as to have designs on her.
“Let’s lift the palanquin—” The leading paper effigy let out an indistinct cry. It waved its soft, boneless limbs, and carried the palanquin into the depths of the forest.
An hour later, everyone was woken up from their sleep by Cang Ye. They gathered in front of the fire with serious expressions.
“Miss Shen disappeared for no reason?” Yue Xiaoyao turned to look at Yao Qingyi.. “Eldest Senior Brother, haven’t you and Cang Ye been following Miss Shen?”
