Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 231 - 113: Husband and Wife Side by Side, Ghost Realm Border
Strange face, familiar tone.
But if the rouge vendor and Feng’Er have fused together, and Yan Yu is caught in between unharmed, then theoretically... this new entity would possess characteristics of both the "vendor" and "Feng’Er".
The characteristics of the vendor can be generally seen from the rouges he sells.
Freely changing appearances, freely changing body shape...
So...
Ghost Street is eerie.
A chilling light spills from the lanterns in front of distant shops...
Deep, winding, beside the road are either evil spirits, skeletal remains, or lost lambs who have strayed in.
But this moment, truly like a cliché reunion of lovers in romance novels.
The vendor and Li Yuan are talking, the skeletal remains hidden in the shadowy alleys haven’t heard what they are saying, but they all show a look of shock because this is the first time they’ve seen the vendor willingly talk to someone.
The vendor is an evil ghost, all the skeletal remains know, and that masked cloaked man seems to be a skeletal existence outside the Zhong Mansion, frequently visiting this Ghost Street lately.
What does this mean?
Has this skeletal figured out the big secret of communicating with evil ghosts?
Li Yuan does not know what they are speculating, he returns to the vendor’s stall, takes out the last 3 sheets of 1 cent ghost coins from his pocket, and smiles, "I’d like to buy, but I can’t afford even the cheapest one."
The vendor suddenly stands up without packing up his stall, because there’s no need; even if the stall is left unattended, no one dares to steal from it.
He looks deep into the Ghost Street, and says, "Let’s walk."
Li Yuan looks in the opposite direction.
Before he can speak, the vendor softly says, "I can’t leave."
They no longer say anything, walking together into the depths of Ghost Street.
The skeletal figures witness this scene, extremely shocked, some have already run to the Zhong Mansion to report.
The vendor actively converses with a skeletal figure and leaves his stall to accompany him deeper into Ghost Street.
What does this mean?
The skeletal figures of Zhong Mansion realize this could be a big deal, an unprecedented great upheaval.
Deep within the street, the vendor’s calls gradually fade, what can be seen on both sides are empty shops, these shops change every time, today’s are different from yesterday’s, the ones when going differ from the ones when returning...
"How is Xiaozhao?"
"She misses her mother."
"I can’t go out."
The vendor’s form shifts, shortly, directly reverting to the appearance of Lady Yan, she rummages in her pocket and hands Li Yuan a stack of ghostly pale paper money.
Li Yuan glances at it.
Dang... a stack of "1 cent" denomination ghost coins.
He accepts the money, looking at the information again.
[Equipment Bar] has changed: [Equipment 1: 1 cent (30), 3 cents (3)]
"The vendor has considerable money, and Feng’Er also earned a bit by selling people before, but I can only take out this much now. Take it, my dear, don’t mind it’s small." The grey-clad Lady Yan is still elegant, petite and delicate, and the vendor’s grey clothes on her also change with her body.
Her apricot eyes are bright yet hold depth and a chilling coldness, even when not smiling her lips curve slightly, giving an inexplicable eerie touch, and her face is pale, pale to a sickly, lifeless extent.
"My dear..." The grey-clothed Lady Yan organizes her thoughts, softly explains, "That day in the dream, to save Xiaozhao, I kept triggering the vendor’s killing rule, the vendor wanted to kill me.
And as we speculated before, Feng’Er’s rule was to prevent me from dying.
So, Feng’Er kept saving me.
The harder the vendor attacked, the fiercer Feng’Er saved.
Until the whole dream’s house collapsed, imprisoning Feng’Er, the vendor, and me together.
When I woke up again, Feng’Er and the vendor had already merged with me.
The vendor... is a layer of skin.
And Feng’Er... is the flesh.
This skin wants to devour me, but the flesh beneath it is protecting me.
So what you see now, is no longer the old me..."
Lady Yan takes two steps forward, hands behind her back, looking at Li Yuan, "You cannot touch me now, neither can Xiaozhao.
Because, the fusion of the vendor and Feng’Er is still continuing.
Whoever touches me now, will be attacked by both the vendor and Feng’Er... 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Feng’Er, after all, is a ghost born not long ago, she is weaker than the vendor, and now they are barely balanced.
Now in a day’s twelve hours, I’m unconscious for seven hours, only clear for five.
And if the balance is further broken, my conscious time will decrease.
The day I no longer wake up, that’ll be truly dead."
Li Yuan lowers his head, sighing softly in his heart.
Lady Yan, as always, is smart. Any small move Li Yuan makes, she can guess his thoughts, now softly says, "My dear, don’t blame yourself, no one could foresee this, and now... isn’t it quite good?"
She smiles sweetly, "I can help you, protect Xiaozhao, and do things I’ve always wanted to do but never did."
She looks up leisurely, gazing at the sky, "This is much better than living aimlessly for a hundred years."
"Sister Yan, what do you plan to do?" Li Yuan has some guesses, but it all feels too fantastical.
Lady Yan hesitates for a moment, then slowly shakes her head, "Never mind, who knows how long the balance can be maintained..."
...
"Quick!"
"They’re just ahead!"
"That ghost vendor and a skeletal figure have gone deeper in, this is big news."
Many skeletal figures from the Zhong Mansion walk out, rushing quickly deeper into Ghost Street.
A skeletal figure walking with an evil ghost, what does this imply? Nobody knows.
But everyone knows, that skeletal figure surely holds a big secret.
