“It’s a bit cold.”
“If I knew it was cold here, I should have worn a coat before coming.” Li Mengmeng muttered.
Bei Yutang squinted at the dark corridor ahead. If she wasn’t mistaken, the cold wind she had just felt was somewhat like a chilling wind, a coldness that seeped into her bones, not just onto her skin.
Facing this dark corridor, Li Mengmeng felt nervous and scared, unconsciously clinging to Bei Yutang’s arm.
“Sister Bei, don’t you think this corridor is a bit long?”
The two of them slowly moved forward, feeling increasingly cold the further they went.
Li Mengmeng’s face paled slightly, and she unconsciously swallowed.
“I…should we go back?” Li Mengmeng asked, somewhat frightened.
“Since we’re here, let’s look around before we go back.” Bei Yutang replied calmly.
Li Mengmeng glanced behind her at the dark corridor. Not daring to go back alone, she could only steel herself and follow Bei Yutang forward.
“Sister Bei, don’t you think this corridor is very long?”
They had been walking for quite a while, but the corridor seemed endless.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, and something seemed to flash before their eyes.
Li Mengmeng screamed in terror, “Ahhhhh!!!”
Bei Yutang warily looked around.
Li Mengmeng gripped her hand, getting closer and closer, the grip so tight that it hurt.
Suddenly, a dim yellow light appeared ahead, and the light seemed to be moving, drifting toward them.
Li Mengmeng’s eyes widened in terror, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Bei Yutang squinted, staring at the light behind the lamp: “Who’s there?”
Li Mengmeng wanted to run away, but found her legs were so weak that she couldn’t move at all. She could only cling tightly to Bei Yutang.
When the light was close enough, Bei Yutang and Li Mengmeng finally saw who it was.
In the dim light, Ah Hua’s slightly pale face was illuminated, causing Li Mengmeng to scream again in terror.
Bei Yutang was startled by Ah Hua’s deathly pale face and tentatively called out, “Ah Hua?”
The person opposite reacted, saying expressionlessly, “This is not a place for you. Leave immediately.”
Li Mengmeng, hearing Ah Hua speak, snapped back to reality and angrily said, “Don’t you know that scaring someone can be deadly? Appearing without a sound, it scared me to death!”
Recognizing the person opposite her, Li Mengmeng’s tense expression suddenly relaxed, and she kept rubbing her chest with one hand.
“Ah Hua, are you feeling unwell?”
Bei Yutang’s gaze was fixed on Ah Hua’s face.
Ah Hua tilted her head slightly, her blank gaze fixed on Bei Yutang, the corners of her lips slightly upturned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth; the smile had an indescribable eeriness.
Bei Yutang wasn’t frightened, but Li Mengmeng, standing beside her, trembled upon seeing it.
“You…you…what kind of smile is that?”
“Please leave.” Ah Hua said coldly.
“We’re here to find your Master’s lost treasure.”
Just then, Butler Sen’s voice came from behind.
“Miss Bei, Miss Li, what brings you here?”
Butler Sen walked up behind them.
Li Mengmeng felt nothing when she saw Butler Sen; her courage even grew. Bei Yutang, however, felt a chill run down her spine.
When…when did he arrive?
She hadn’t noticed at all.
