Chapter 9: Paying Respects to the Patriarch
The old man glanced at Yun Jiao’s serious expression. She didn’t look like she was joking at all, and his imagination began running wild. Was the girl implying that the ghost named Su Niang had run away in life because she knew someone wanted to harm her child, so she had no choice but to flee?
And this wasn’t her first child? That meant the Li family had other children before. Yet in that courtyard, aside from the three Lis, they hadn’t seen any trace of children. Could it be…
The old man shuddered and edged closer to Yun Jiao, his face horrified. “Girl, are you saying the Lis… eat children?!” In this world, aside from ghosts, there were man-eating demons too. Could those three be like that?
Yun Jiao: “…”
What nonsense was that? Where did this logic even come from?
She rolled her eyes, not bothering to answer, and strode quickly up the mountain.
“Hey! Girl, wait for me!” Explain yourself, damn it!
White Yu immediately rushed after her. Demons were far scarier than vengeful ghosts!
