Chapter 176 I want to sit with my sister
Upon returning to the inn, Zhongli Yueluo and her group felt a chill run down their spines.
The inn was dimly lit, and a chilling wind swept through. Yin Yi snapped his fingers and lit the lamp.
There wasn't a single guest inside.
There were clearly other people present when they checked in; was it all an illusion?
Sure enough, the table was covered in a thick layer of dust; it was brand new just last night.
Zhongli Yueluo sighed. It was very likely that they had already fallen into their spells as soon as they stepped into this territory.
Now she's starting to doubt whether everything they've been exposed to is real.
"Are you all alright?" Zhongli Yueluo was worried that the shockwave from earlier might have affected them.
Everyone shook their heads, saying it wasn't a big problem.
At this moment, He Yuhuan's stomach rumbled. They had experienced too much that night and really didn't care whether their stomachs were empty or not.
"I really don't know if the streets outside are real, or if you and I are real."
Zhongli Yuelu touched the dust on the table and said something inexplicably.
Yan Ruoyu crossed her arms, seemingly able to connect with Zhongli Yueluo's thoughts: "Is the princess worried about the Nightmare Ghost?"
"Let's not talk about this now, let's go back to our room."
He figured that the spell covering the area had failed, which was why it had become so desolate.
Zhongli Yueluo thought she could have some peace and quiet after returning to her room.
As a result, they all rushed into her room again.
"What are you doing?"
At that moment, she was holding He Yuhuan in her arms and feeding her cakes.
Yan Ruoyu sat down next to her, feeling justified.
It turned out that all the rooms they were in had been abandoned, and only her room looked habitable.
It's impossible for so many people to be crammed into one room, and even Miao Qing is standing at the door, ready to come in.
"Can't you tidy up your rooms? Can't we live here?" she asked, her voice slightly angry.
"Sister, go and see if that room is habitable?" Su Fengling leaned on the table with one hand.
His eyes were fixed on her without any attempt to hide it, but He Yuhuan said, "Then let's all sleep together."
Her little head was full of unexpected ideas, but Miaoqing looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dawn."
The group looked out the window; the sky was already beginning to lighten.
There's no point in arguing anymore; at worst, we can just sit around the table and take a nap.
"Master, I'm not full yet." He Yuhuan turned to look at Zhongli Yueluo.
I really don't know what kind of bottomless pit her stomach is. Maybe we should let her out to find food.
Perhaps sensing what Zhongli Yueluo was thinking, He Yuhuan climbed off her lap and jumped to the window.
"Master, I'll go out for a stroll first, and I'll be back when it's light."
He Yuhuan blinked, probably thinking he was going back to crack open those people's skulls.
She didn't stop it; she just wanted to avoid seeing that bloody scene. After all, it was a brain-eating demon sparrow.
Although I was determined to change her eating habit.
But even when there's nothing else to eat, she has to have a couple of bites.
Miao Qing was pulled to stand on the other side of the corridor by Yin Yi.
The atmosphere inside was so strange; it was best if they didn't disturb them.
Zhongli Yueluo placed her hand on Su Fengjun's hand again.
Su Fengjun glanced at the two people beside her, then looked at her hand.
"The recovery is going quite well. It seems my hand will be less likely to get injured." Zhongli Yueluo tilted her head and looked at him jokingly.
But Su Fengjun took it seriously and quickly tried to pull his hand back, but she grabbed it firmly: "Why are you trying to dodge?"
"It was Feng Jun who caused the princess too much harm. Feng Jun is guilty." He said this with great seriousness, his eyes even lowered.
Zhongli Yueluo forgot that Su Fengjun was not someone who could joke around.
He took almost every word she said to heart.
"Feng Jun, that's not what I meant." She loosened her grip, afraid of hurting him further.
The moment she let go of Su Fengling's hand, her hand landed on hers.
"Sister, we're setting off for Shadow City tomorrow. Surely you should come with me?"
He was ruthless in vying for favor, and Zhongli Yueluo was also pondering this question.
What if they enter the city together and are ambushed?
Or if they are both infected at the same time, who will rescue them?
Yan Ruoyu waved her Xuan Gu fan, squinting her eyes in thought: "What Young Master Ling said makes sense."
This was the first time he had ever agreed with him like this, and Su Fengling was also stunned, not expecting him to say such a thing.
"However, I think the princess should still come with me."
"You two are the young lords of the Wind Spirit Ghost Clan, you are too conspicuous."
Su Fengling withdrew her slight change of opinion about him from before and ignored him, focusing instead on Zhongli Yueluo.
It's really not easy to assign people to this position.
She felt that being with Yan Ruoyu was the safest option, but Su Fengling would definitely be unwilling.
"How about this? Tomorrow we'll go to Liu Huzi's place and get two beast-drawn carriages. Feng Ling and I will go ahead, and you two will follow behind?"
But in the end, they still walked together, just not in the same car.
Everyone compromised, and Su Fengling took Zhong Liyueluo's arm.
"Sister, I really can't wait for dawn."
No sooner had I said that than I heard the sound of car wheels outside.
It appears that someone drove up and parked in front of the inn.
Yin Yi also heard the sound and walked to the entrance of the inn. Liu Hu Zi was driving a car, with two more cars towed behind him.
He looked Liu Huzi up and down, feeling that something was off about the man, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
"Young man, please inform your young master and young lady that they should depart now."
They could actually go to Shadow City even without taking his car.
It's just that everyone else has parked their cars at the entrance and extended a warm invitation, so it's hard to refuse.
I couldn't sleep at the inn anyway, but I could take a nap in the car.
After packing their things, the group went downstairs.
Zhongli Yueluo looked at Liu Huzi, whose brows were furrowed and eyes were bloodshot.
It must have been Hong San Niang's death that dealt him a heavy blow, and he also didn't see Mao'er.
"Brother Liu, where's the cat?" Zhongli Yuelu asked subconsciously.
He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh, Cat, he fell asleep in the car. The journey to Shadow City is still long, you should get in and rest too."
Not sensing any deep sadness in him, Zhongli Yuelu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please accept my condolences."
Liu Hu Zi smiled wryly and didn't say anything. Then, the others got into their respective cars.
Su Fengling got his wish and sat in the same car as Zhongli Yueluo.
He was about to pull Zhongli Yueluo into his arms when she paused: "Yu Huan hasn't returned yet!"
"Oh, why do you care about her? She'll catch up with you when she's full." He said with a long face.
Then she rested her head on Zhongli Yueluo's shoulder: "Let them go first, we'll wait for her."
Although he always seemed to be at odds with her verbally, he actually meant her no harm.
