31: Chapter 31: The Mystery of the Old House (Part 5)

"Wow, coming to this wedding was so worth it; my lifelong event has been resolved."

Su Ye smiled with a sweet expression.

"Wedding?" Was it the meaning he understood?

That NPC started leaning into his ear to explain again, "Old Ancestor, fifty years have already passed."

Fifty years?

Su Ye raised an eyebrow.

Interesting, it seems this boyfriend's age is an unsolved mystery.

The more Su Ye thought about it, the more thrilling it felt.

"Baby, I have other things to do, I'll come play with you another day." Su Ye waved her hand, saying goodbye to Ember Stain.

As soon as Su Ye left, the gentle boyfriend's expression changed.

"How did she get in!"

"Old Ancestor, spare my life, Old Ancestor, spare my life."

"There is a barrier here, it's impossible for her to see this place?"

"This servant sensed it, the barrier is still existing perfectly well."

Ember Stain naturally could also sense that the barrier had not been broken.

"Interesting."

"I seem to be close to liberation."

"Old Ancestor?" The NPC froze, unable to understand what he meant by that.

What did it mean to be close to liberation?

Ember Stain gazed at the faintly visible barrier in the sky, his thoughts drifting, and as he recalled something, his expression became distorted.

"It has been a thousand years."

——

Su Ye hummed a song, holding her little red umbrella, and left the courtyard in an excellent mood.

The harvest today was truly not small; she picked up a boyfriend halfway.

At the main entrance, Su Ye stared at the strange patterns on the door; in the daylight, those red patterns could be seen very clearly.

"Eh?"

Su Ye stood on tiptoe; if she hadn't seen wrong just now, she saw those red patterns move, seemingly continuing to spread outward.

Are these patterns alive?!

Su Ye was almost pressed against the door entirely.

"This honorable guest, what... are you doing?"

The sudden voice gave Su Ye a start, and she almost threw the flower pot in her hand.

Su Ye patted her chest, still feeling lingering fear.

"Ah, it's Butler Bai, you walk without making a sound, are you even human!"

Hearing her words, the smile on Butler Bai's face was almost unable to be contained.

Butler Bai took a step forward, and Su Ye took a step back.

"Hey, you can't get so close to me, my heart isn't good, I'm afraid of being scared into an illness."

Butler Bai twitched his lips, "You are joking."

Su Ye tapped her fingertips in the void and twitched the corner of her mouth, "I'm not joking, you really scared me, look, you've forgotten to take care of your hands."

Su Ye looked disgusted.

Butler Bai extended his hand, and it could be seen that it had already turned into the appearance of a skeleton, with not a trace of flesh left on it.

"Damn it, what's going on?"

How did it suddenly turn back before the time was up?

Butler Bai looked around; generally, no one came to this main entrance, and it was empty all around.

Looking at Su Ye's face, his expression changed instantly, he stuck out his tongue, looked at Su Ye, his eyes full of covetousness.

"Since you've discovered it, then you shall be my nutrients."

"Hiss~"

Butler Bai had his true face exposed on the spot, and he wanted to tear Su Ye apart directly.

Su Ye giggled a few times.

"What a coincidence, I also need fertilizer."

"Don't worry, little one, no need to wait until tonight, there will be fertilizer immediately."

"Hee hee hee."

Su Ye's whole body exuded an aura of joy, and the hong ling umbrella was already held in her hand.

"Don't be too complacent."

"Hmph."

As the words fell, Butler Bai directly attacked.

The skeleton face and his disguised face were constantly swapping.

One moment the eyes became eye sockets, inside which a deep light was shining.

"Today is your death day."

"You look very delicious."

"Ke ke ke."

Su Ye nodded, "I agree with you saying I'm beautiful."

She had always had a trait: she only liked to hear what she wanted to hear.

"You are absolutely right."

The hong ling umbrella appeared in her hand, and the next instant she thrust it directly forward.

Butler Bai watched the movement in her hand, his eyes full of contempt.

"Such a small..."

"Ah!"

"Ho, how is it possible..."

Butler Bai stared at the wound on his abdomen in disbelief; how could it be, this clearly looked like an ordinary umbrella, yet it actually injured him.

"So, you are the one who dies first."

As the words fell, Butler Bai turned into a pile of white bones at a speed visible to the naked eye, scattering all over the ground.

Su Ye lowered her head and fiddled with the flower pot in her arms, "Not bad, not bad, this Butler Bai is quite fertile."

A little tender bud had already sprouted in the flower pot.

"Master, I have finally seen the light of day again."

The little tender bud moved up and down lively, very excited.

"Ah, congratulations, congratulations." Su Ye praised absent-mindedly.

Hu Tao saw a lump of something at the main gate from afar and headed toward the entrance of the Ancient Mansion with suspicion.

Stepping out of the Ancient Mansion's gate, he saw clearly what the lump on the side was, and his footsteps paused slightly.

Walking up to Su Ye, Hu Tao asked hesitantly, "You... what are you doing?"

Su Ye was crouched in a ball on the ground, holding the handle of the hong ling umbrella, poking the pile of white bones on the ground one moment and then the next, making Hu Tao's brow twitch continuously.

How could she be so leisurely.

"Where did these white bones come from?" Don't tell me she dug up someone's grave.

"Ah, it's you!"

"You don't recognize this appearance?"

"You saw him just yesterday!"

"Hmm?" Hu Tao was full of confusion.

"It's Butler Bai!"

"Do you want it? I'll give it to you for free!" Su Ye grinned.

Hu Tao was scared into stepping back two paces by that malicious smile, "No, no need."

"I still have to go find other clues, I'll be going first, I'll be going first."

"Hey, stop." Su Ye sighed; since he didn't want it, she would take it to give to someone else.

She almost forgot, she was now a person with a partner.

Thinking of this, Su Ye puffed out her chest, looking proud.

Hu Tao had a crying face, holding the pile of white bones in his arms, following behind Su Ye.

"Su, Su Ye, where are we... going?"

They were walking deeper and deeper inside.

Hu Tao discovered that this was a place he hadn't noticed before.

"Ah, I'm going to find my boyfriend."

"boyfriend?"

Hu Tao recalled; among those few known NPCs, it seemed he hadn't seen her walking closely with any of them?

"Who is your boyfriend?"

"Oh, he said his name is Ember Stain!"

Hu Tao shook his head, he hadn't heard of him.

"Ah, finally found it." After turning left and right, Su Ye finally saw the familiar courtyard.

Hu Tao swallowed his saliva, gazing at the vast white expanse before him.

"Your boyfriend lives here?"

"Yes."

"This courtyard is nice, right."

Hu Tao looked around, not to mention a courtyard, he didn't even see a thatched hut.

"Su Ye, are you sure you aren't possessed?"

There is clearly nothing here.

Su Ye blinked; the confusion in his eyes wasn't fake, so, he couldn't see this courtyard.

"Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, you can just give this to me."

Hu Tao gave her the white bones, and couldn't help but ask again, "Then this skeleton, you are..."

"Ah, giving it to my boyfriend."

Hu Tao's eyes widened.

It's over, she is truly possessed.

If this were a person, who would want a pile of skeleton frames.

"Don't you think it's very pretty~"

Hu Tao pursed his lips, pretty? Is this player's brain a bit abnormal?

It's no wonder Hu Tao suspected this, since entering the game, she hadn't done anything normal.

Instantly, his eyes were filled with pity.

Su Ye received his gaze.

???

What is he imagining?
