Tang Zitong walked out from the shadows in the corner, looking shocked and in disbelief.
She pointed at Tang Li, and her fingers were trembling from excitement. “Cousin… you…”
She was shocked that Tang Li and Qi Yihan were so intimate. It was completely different from what she knew.
What was unbelievable was that Tang Li knew how to catch ghosts.
Looking at her, Tang Li showed Tang Zitong the hand that was holding Qi Yihan’s and said. “See that? We actually love each other. Next time, be careful with what you say.”
Tang Zitong subconsciously nodded and asked, “But why do people say you two are about to get a divorce.”
Tang Li turned her gaze towards Qi Yihan, waiting for him to reply.
Qi Yihan narrowed his eyes, looking displeased. “We won’t get a divorce.”
Hearing that, Tang Li was relieved and looked at Tang Zitong.
Tang Zitong’s expression changed several times before she smiled. “That’s great. I never wanted you guys to divorce. I think good-looking people should get together with good-looking people. This way, we won’t waste the good genes of both parties. The children born in the future will be more beautiful.”
Tang Li was speechless.
As expected of words from a vain person!
After saying that, Tang Zitong suddenly remembered something more important.
“Cousin, when did you become a Taoist priest?”
“I’m not a Taoist priest .”
“Then how do you know how to catch ghosts? Are you… an immortal?”
“…Not really.”
“That’s impossible. If you’re neither of them, how come you can catch ghosts?” Tang Zitong walked up to Tang Li in two steps and grabbed her hand. She had a look of admiration on her face. “Cousin, I didn’t know you well enough in the past. I always couldn’t stand what you did. But now I understand. You’re definitely a master, and it’s understandable that masters behave differently.”
“I’ve never been nice to you before. Don’t be angry at me. I’ll definitely treat you as my dear cousin sister in the future. Oh, no… You’re a master. It’s rude of me to call you cousin.”
Three black lines appeared on Tang Li’s forehead again. “You are overreacting.”
Tang Li did not expect her cousin’s personality to be so… whimsical.
No wonder the Host couldn’t get along with her.
Tang Li asked her, “Who are you here with? Why didn’t you call your family before you came?”
“Well…” Tang Zitong smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.” I’m here with someone I got to know online. I thought that the scene we’re playing would only take half a day. It’ll only be afternoon when I’m done playing. I don’t need to tell my family. “
“Who knew that the scene we entered was the scene of Daiyu burying the flower? As I exchanged a word with Daiyu, the setting changed completely. Then, that old witch appeared.”
Tang Li looked at her with a straight face, not knowing what to say.
Qi Yihan tilted his head to look at Tang Li and said, “Let’s find the other missing people first and leave.”
Tang Li nodded silently and took out a voice transmission talisman from her pocket. She said to the voice transmission talisman, “If everyone here wants to leave this place alive, come to the golden light you see.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the courtyard emitted a golden light.
Tang Zitong’s eyes widened, and she admired Tang Li even more. “Cousin, you’re so amazing!”
The three of them stood in the courtyard for a while and saw several girls walking over from different directions.
When these girls saw Tang Li and Qi Yihan, their eyes were filled with anticipation and fear.
They were obviously not as daring as Tang Zitong. Even though they came with hope, they did not dare to approach them.
When Tang Zitong saw them, she quickly waved at them. “Everyone, hurry up and come over. My cousin and her husband are here to save us. Let me tell you, my cousin is a master. She killed that old witch and her men just now.”
With Tang Zitong’s help, the girls heaved a sigh of relief.
At that moment, Tang Li said, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here for my cousin. Since you’re all here, I’ll definitely take you all out.”
They then walked towards them.
The girls captured by the old female ghost were all pretty good-looking. When the few of them walked over, Tang Li asked how they came to be here.
Their experiences were similar to Tang Zitong’s, but they weren’t kidnapped at the same place.
After everyone finished speaking, Tang Zitong asked, “Cousin, how can we go out?”
The other girls looked at Tang Li expectantly.
“Let’s go to the courtyard you mentioned and bring the others out.”
“Those girls who have already become grannies?”
At this point, Tang Zitong couldn’t help but worry for them. “They look very old now. Will they be able to go back to normal life again?”
“You don’t have to worry about anything else. Just show me the way.”
“Alright.” Tang Zitong brought the group of people to the most remote courtyard.
Along the way, there was no longer any flourishing or beautiful scenery like before. All the buildings in the area were run-down, and the flowers and trees were all withered, making the place look especially desolate.
This caused the hearts of the girls behind Tang Li to shudder.
Tang Zitong was also afraid. She leaned on Tang Li and walked. “Cousin, what’s going on here? This place is so different.”
“This is the old woman’s grave.”
It was fine if Tang Li didn’t say anything, but once she did, some girls started crying.
Hearing, Tang Zitong leaned even closer to Tang Li.
They walked for a while before they arrived at the remote courtyard Tang Zitong mentioned.
This place was even more dilapidated, and there was a rotten smell coming from the courtyard. This made the girls’ faces turn pale.
Tang Li gestured to them. “Just stand here. You don’t have to follow me in.”
With that, she prepared to go in alone.
She heard footsteps behind her.
Tang Li tilted her head to look.
Qi Yihan said, “I’ll go in with you.”
Tang Li reminded him, “The situation inside might be a little scary.”
“Noted.”
The two of them walked towards the courtyard door.
The door to this courtyard was so dilapidated that it collapsed with a push.
After a loud bang, the scene inside was indeed a little scary.
Several new and old skeletons were lying there. There were rats and bugs scurrying over the bones. Under the eaves of the house in the courtyard, two old women with numb faces were huddling together. Beside them was an old woman.
Even the sound of the wooden door collapsing did not attract their attention.
Qi Yihan asked Tang Li, “Did this courtyard become like this because when that old witch is gone, her magic is gone too?”
“Probably. Otherwise, my cousin wouldn’t dare to come here.”
The two of them walked in together..
