When I turned around to look at Li Ming, I noticed that his face was already inches away from mine, not even a centimeter away from mine.

That's not the point. The point is, I can see that his face isn't what it was just now.

His eyes were dark and sunken, revealing two sharp teeth, ready to bite me.

I subconsciously cried out in alarm. I instinctively reached out to push him. I staggered two steps back before slowly stabilizing my body.

Only at this moment did I clearly see that Li Ming utterly didn't have the appearance of a living person, even to the extent that I could see his eyes were like two deep tunnels, and white insects that ceaselessly surged out from within them.

Ugh …

When I saw what the bugs looked like, my stomach churned.

It was actually maggots …

Countless maggots surged out from Li Ming's eyes just like that.

One by one, they fell to the ground, creating clattering sounds.

"Stay, stay here …"

Li Ming twisted his stiff neck as he emitted cracking sounds, and his mouth still repeated the words he said to me earlier.

A great fear came over me.

It made me want to run away, and of course I did.

He pulled back his legs and ran forward desperately, not daring to look back.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

In my panic, I didn't know how I ended up bumping into someone.

When I saw the old granny I had knocked to the ground, I felt guilty and quickly crouched down to help her.

"Grandma, are you alright?"

"Granny is fine. Little miss, you are such a nice person. Just stay here!"

The old granny giggled as she held my hand. Her hand was very skinny, only having a layer of skin and bones. It was also very cold, not having a single strand of warmth.

She held my hand in hers, and it was creepy.

And I kept feeling something crawling and tickling on my hand, because I was so focused on the mother-in-law that I didn't notice it.

When I heard what she said after saying those words, my entire body shuddered. Seeing the smile on her face turn strange, the fear in my heart rages once again. I used all of my strength to shake off her hand.

However, he felt as if a pair of pincers had grabbed hold of him and was unable to break free no matter how hard he tried.

When I looked down at my hand, I saw that it was filled with maggots, and what was holding me was not a hand, but a bone.

I was extremely scared. I don't know where I got the strength, but with a single push, I broke that old granny's hand along her arm.

The arm was in my hand.

I didn't care about all that as I kept running.

"Little girl, give me back my hand, give me back my hand!"

Turning around, I saw that old granny following closely behind me. Her steps were unsteady as she swayed behind me, allowing me to return her hand.

Looking back, he noticed that Li Ming had caught up as well.

Right now, I couldn't care less about being afraid, because I knew that it was useless to be afraid. I had to think of a way to escape from this place as soon as possible.

"Huang Lingyue, why are you here? What are you running for? "

Just as I was about to despair, I heard a voice I didn't recognize.

At dusk, under the setting sun, I could easily see clearly who was standing in front of me.

"Boss …" That... "There's a ghost over there …"

I quickly walked to the boss's side, and my heart slowly calmed down. It's better to have one more person than just myself.

The surroundings were very quiet. It was the complete opposite of the bustling scene I had seen earlier, as though the scene just now was just my imagination.

I hid behind my boss and looked around. There was no one around.

No, to be exact, there were a few ghosts chasing after me.

The Boss turned to face me, but his head remained bowed, as it had been since I first saw him.

Because of the earlier panic, he didn't feel anything. However, at this moment, he felt that there was something strange going on there.

"Boss, there's a ghost …" "Ghost …"

Even though I felt that something wasn't right, I didn't have the time to say anything. At this moment, I widened my eyes as I looked behind my boss.

In the instant that I spoke to my Boss, Li Ming and that old granny had already caught up to me.

My fingers trembled. Ye Zichen pointed behind the boss, completely speechless.

They were more like zombies than ghosts, but zombies didn't know how to talk, and they did.

"Little girl, give me back my hand, give me back my hand!"

"I... "Boss …"

Seeing that they were about to reach us, I didn't care about anything else and grabbed my boss to escape.

However, the boss just stood there without moving.

"Is that what you're talking about?"

After saying that, the boss gave a weird smile and raised his head. I saw what he looked like.

He cried out.

The face of the person in front of him could not be considered a face anymore. It was badly mangled, with maggots growing all over the place. There was still a pungent smell coming from it.

Seeing that he was about to reach out to grab me, I used my strength and pulled away the white bone in the old granny's hand before fiercely throwing it towards him.

But now I was surrounded by the three of them.

They looked at me as if they were looking at a delicacy in the world, and there was something like saliva flowing out of the corners of Li Ming's mouth.

I kept backing away.

Because I saw, not just them, but more like them, limping along on my side, their eyes glowing green.

The closer they got, the smaller the space I could move.

Suddenly, I felt some despair.

Remembering how Yu Pei helped me beat away that red clothed ghost in the cave, I hugged my horse and treated it as if it was alive and kicking.

"Darling, whether or not I can live will depend on you!"

The jade pendant in my hand quivered.

A voice spoke in my head.

"Little Qing Qing, next time, remember to call me Darling!"

As soon as I said those words, the world started to spin around me. Then, I fell into the embrace of a person with a trace of coldness.

"Qin Yize? Have you been by my side all this time? "

Recalling the voice that appeared in my head just now as well as the hint he gave me, I said this with certainty.

"You are not allowed to call This King by his name next time. You have to call him 'Darling'. If I wasn't by your side, you would have already been eaten by them. You sure are stupid. This King just slept for a bit and you actually came to Ghost Village."

Ghost Village...

The corner of my mouth twitched, and I didn't know what to say.

"Then what should we do now?"

"You dare to set your eyes on This King's woman, do you think that I will let them go?"

After Qin Yize finished speaking, I felt the temperature of his body drop even further.

The sky was getting darker. There was no moon in the sky, not even a star. It was a bit gloomy and scary.

Qin Yize carried me in his arms and with a wave of his long sleeve, the old lady closest to me immediately disappeared, just like the red-clothed female ghost.
