214: Chapter 214: Werewolf (Fifteen)

"Ah, hahaha~"

The sudden laughter gave Hu Yuan a start.

He turned his head and stared at the Master, confused, only to see her clutching her stomach in laughter.

???

What's wrong with the Master? Hu Yuan was very puzzled.

After Qian Ye finished laughing, she straightened her back and approached the stone statue.

"Hey, what do you think would happen if I threw it again?"

Would it start all over again?

The little flower in her hand kept swaying.

Master, I advise you to act like a human.

If we were to be trapped in this world forever, that would be too miserable.

Hmph, fine.

Qian Ye reluctantly withdrew her hand.

The next second, she pulled out the hong ling umbrella.

The tip of the umbrella touched the stone statue and traced over it inch by inch, the cold air spreading rapidly until it froze the entire statue.

Little Flower...

Fine, the Master is still the Master; if you can't throw it, you freeze it.

"Hey, I'm just afraid it might break!"

Qian Ye blinked innocently, a smile playing on her lips.

If one ignored the malicious glint deep in her eyes.

Hu Yuan watched her baffling behavior; ah, the Master must have her reasons for doing this.

The next instant, the eyes of the crouching wolf statue suddenly opened, red light shooting straight at Qian Ye.

"What the..."

Hu Yuan's pupils dilated. Good heavens, there really was a secret hidden in this stone statue.

This—this statue isn't coming to life, is it?

He rubbed his eyes and opened them again; oh, there was no change.

It was as if everything just now had been an illusion.

Just...

Hu Yuan looked at the now brightly lit ancestral hall and subconsciously turned back. "Ah, it's daylight outside."

It really was a peaceful night.

It's just that something feels weird. Hu Yuan scratched his head.

He didn't know how to describe it.

Hearing the noise, Qian Ye turned around to look. Outside, it was bright; there wasn't a trace of the gloom from before.

"Hey, hey, hey, who are you?"

"Are there people appearing again..."

The sudden voice sounded like someone talking to themselves.

Outside the door stood a woman wearing coarse linen clothes and a headscarf, carrying a bamboo basket on her arm.

At this moment, she stared at Qian Ye and Hu Yuan in the center of the ancestral hall, but there was no surprise on her face.

"Huh, so there are other NPCs!" Hu Yuan looked curiously at the woman who had appeared. This was the first NPC he had seen since entering, other than that little girl.

NPC?

What is that?

The woman carrying the bamboo basket came up to them.

"You also appeared out of thin air!"

Although it was a question, the tone was full of certainty.

Huh? This...

Hu Yuan was left completely confused.

What does that mean?

How did it become appearing out of thin air?

They had been in the ancestral hall all along...

"Ah, Auntie, do you—do you know how we got here?"

"Where—where is this? We were clearly sleeping at home!"

"Where is this? I want to go home, wuwuwu."

Qian Ye ran to the woman, grabbed her sleeve, and started a whole spiel, not forgetting to cry at the end.

Even though she couldn't shed tears.

She could still manage thunder without rain.

At this moment, Qian Ye didn't forget to glance at Hu Yuan.

Hu Yuan, who didn't know what was happening, knew that crying was the right thing to do at the moment.

"Ah, ying ying ying, why are we so unlucky? What on earth happened? Which heartless person harmed us!"

"How, how did we suddenly appear here?"

"Ah, ying ying ying~"

With these two putting on such a show, the woman was at a loss.

"Jiaoniang, what happened?"

Just then, another voice came from outside the ancestral hall.

The three of them turned their heads in unison to look; it was a burly man.

...

At a stone table, they sat in a circle.

"So that's how it is."

Qian Ye and Hu Yuan were seated in the middle.

Listening to the burly man's words, they suddenly understood.

"So, you don't need to worry. Just stay at our place for these few days."

"Things like this happen here occasionally, we're used to it."

"The Wizard said, when friends come from afar, just treat them well."

"Three days later, the Wizard said our friends will return."

After listening to the burly man, Hu Yuan finally understood that they were no longer in Wu Village.

"Ah, I see. Big brother, then where is this?"

Hu Yuan looked at the surrounding houses, built of stone and thatch, looking extremely dilapidated.

"This is Wu Village. My name is Wu Dazhuang."

"Feel free to stay."

"You'll go back in three days."

Hu Yuan still wanted to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth, he heard the sound of clapping, "Pa pa."

He took a look; oh, it was the Master, then it was fine.

"That's great! I don't know how to thank you all!"

Qian Ye beamed a bright smile, her eyes filled with a clear, innocent light that almost made Hu Yuan break his composure.

It was just—it was just quite sudden.

The crowd dispersed, and Hu Yuan then asked sneakily, "This is Wu Village, so where did the people from before go?"

When we first came here, these people were all...

"Dead."

"Huh?"

"Hee hee, they're all dead~"

Qian Ye tugged at the corners of her mouth, a malicious glint in her eyes.

Hu Yuan shivered all over. Very good, that familiar feeling was back.

Then now they are...

Hu Yuan didn't want to dwell on it anymore.

"Ah, it's rare to see such good weather!"

"Look at this, blue sky, white clouds."

"Hee hee, how suitable for going out for a walk."

Let's go then.
