Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1309 - 1309 1269 Maintain a Sense of Awe

1309: Chapter 1269: Maintain a Sense of Awe 1309: Chapter 1269: Maintain a Sense of Awe Tang Yurou showed full-blown fear on her face upon hearing that Lu Chuan wanted to visit the graveyard.

If it had been earlier, she would have thought this an exciting endeavor and would have been eager for an adventure.

But having just heard from Lu Chuan that the Jade Pendant she brought back from the dilapidated temple had attracted a female ghost, she no longer had the courage.

After all, her boldness had always been predicated on the certainty that nothing would go wrong.

Now that she had even attracted a female ghost, she dared not casually venture to such places.

However, the thought of Lu Chuan accompanying her instantly reassured her.

With Lu Chuan there, there was no trouble that couldn’t be solved.

So she nodded, “Okay, I’ll arrange to meet them at the graveyard tonight.”

She then started to spread the word in a chat group created by her and her friends.

“Let them bring all the things they took from the dilapidated temple,” Lu Chuan added.

Tang Shouli looked at Lu Chuan with a serious expression, “We’ll come with you tonight, I’ll bring some people as well, we might be of some help.”

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, “Uncle, you’ve also experienced these kinds of things; when it comes to encounters with demonic monsters, it’s not a matter of having more people.

If you guys follow along, it will only distract me.

Yurou accompanying me is enough.”

Reminded of a project of his own that had been haunted, Tang Shouli realized the rationality of Lu Chuan’s words and nodded, “Alright, but you must be careful.

If you really can’t handle it, hurry and flee with Yurou, and don’t try to be a hero.”

Lu Chuan smiled, “Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Yundie looked at Lu Chuan with a solemn expression, “Be extremely careful in all matters.”

Upon nightfall, Lu Chuan left the Tang family with Tang Yurou, heading towards the graveyard in City South.

When they arrived, Tang Yurou’s classmates were still not there.

Looking around at the stark darkness enveloped by dense weeds, occasionally a shadow darting that could be a cat or a dog, Tang Yurou couldn’t help but feel a chilling sensation down her spine.

She immediately clung to Lu Chuan’s arm, staying very close to him, and justified herself confidently, “It’s too dark here, and too frightening.

I’m scared easily, so I have to hold onto you.

I’m not trying to take advantage of you.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan immediately released several flames, which landed around them, illuminating the vicinity, “Now it’s not dark anymore.”

Tang Yurou blinked, “But I’m still scared, cousin, can’t you just look out for me?”

Lu Chuan appeared helpless, “I don’t mind looking out for you, but can you not stick your hand inside my shirt?”

Tang Yurou was instantly embarrassed and quickly retracted her hand, which had been reaching inside Lu Chuan’s shirt to feel his abs, “My hand was just a bit cold; I wanted to warm it up, nothing more.”

At this moment, three figures approached them, one male and two females, who were Tang Yurou’s classmates.

The male was named Zhang Lei, and the two females were Zheng Siqi and Liu Yue.

“Yurou, I didn’t expect you to like thrilling games lately, arranging to meet us at the graveyard late at night.

I’m actually a little excited about the adventure that awaits,” said Zhang Lei with a chuckle to Tang Yurou.

Then his gaze fell on Lu Chuan, “Eh?

Who’s this?

Could it be your boyfriend?”

Tang Yurou hurriedly explained, “This is my cousin, Lu Chuan.”

Zheng Siqi and Liu Yue’s eyes brightened.

“Rourou, so this is the cousin you always talk about?

He’s really handsome and has such a presence.

No wonder you like him so much,” Zheng Siqi said with a smile.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Lu Chuan’s appearance and aura had undergone significant changes.

Standing out in a crowd, he was the kind who’d draw attention at first glance.

Tang Yurou blushed a bit from the comment, feeling a bit bashful, but she did not refute Zheng Siqi’s words.

Zhang Lei, on the other hand, sneakily glanced at Lu Chuan with disapproval murmuring under his breath, “He’s just alright.”

As the most attractive girl in their little group, Tang Yurou was naturally well-liked by everyone, and Zhang Lei was no exception.

He liked Tang Yurou too, and seeing how intimate she was with Lu Chuan, it’d be strange if he was happy about it.

He changed the subject, “What about Gao Qiang?

Hasn’t he arrived yet?”

Tang Yurou replied, “He’s probably still on his way here.”

As the few chatted, Lu Chuan surveyed them all briefly.

Without exception, all three had deep dark circles under their eyes, their expressions tired, likely because they forced themselves to be energetic for this outing with friends.

Lu Chuan then cast a spell to check the condition of the three and indeed discovered that all three were possessed by lonely wandering ghosts.

Zhang Lei’s body was being crawled on by a water ghost, Zheng Siqi had a headless child hanging from her body, and there was a hanged ghost standing on Liu Yue’s shoulder.

The three ghosts looked extremely miserable, and they seemed to have died in great pain.

If the scene before Lu Chuan could be broadcasted on television, it would be a hundred times more terrifying than the scariest horror films.

After all, it was a real scene, not something made with special effects.

“Speaking of which, what kind of adventure are we here for in this graveyard today?

It’d be boring if we’re just wandering around the graves.

It would be great if we could dig up a few graves, maybe we would find some treasures like last time,” Zhang Lei said with a smile.

Lu Chuan glanced at Zhang Lei, thinking to himself that these young people nowadays really had no fear, but even in this remote cemetery, one couldn’t just dig up graves on a whim.

He didn’t want to beat around the bush and said directly, “The reason I called you here today is actually not for an adventure.

You should respect the unknown, not scorn it.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lei immediately felt it was his chance to show off, and he said with a mocking smile, “There’s no such thing as ghosts or monsters in this world, they’re just made up to scare kids.

Are you saying this because you’re scared?”

He turned to Tang Yurou, “Yurou, your cousin may look pretty handsome, but he seems to be a bit of a scaredy-cat.

That’s kind of lacking in manliness.”

Tang Yurou quickly said, “My cousin is definitely not lacking in manliness, what he said is true.

We should hold a sense of awe towards those unknown things, otherwise, it could really bring disaster!”

“Actually, it was my cousin who asked me to call you guys here today because the things we took from the old temple last time have attracted some unclean entities.”

Zhang Lei sneered, “That’s just to scare people.

You used to be quite brave, why have you started to believe in these things now?”

“If we really attracted some unclean entities, then why are we all perfectly fine?”

Lu Chuan looked at him and said, “Are you really perfectly fine recently?

Are you sure that you haven’t been feeling fatigued, with aching waist and legs?

Moreover, if I’m not wrong, you’ve probably been having dreams where you’re being pulled into the water by someone, and no matter how you struggle, you can’t escape from the water, right?”

Zhang Lei’s expression changed upon hearing this because Lu Chuan was spot on.

He had indeed felt more tired than usual recently and had the exact dreams Lu Chuan described.

But he quickly regained his composure and said indifferently, “Yurou, did you show your cousin my Moments?”

He thought Lu Chuan spoke so accurately because he had seen Zhang Lei’s Moments, where he shared his recent condition.

Tang Yurou shook her head quickly, “I didn’t!”

Zhang Lei naturally didn’t believe it.

Seeing the situation, Liu Yue hastily tried to smooth things over, “But I have really been feeling some soreness in my shoulders recently, like something is stepping on them.”

Zheng Siqi nodded, “Me too, my neck feels especially uncomfortable, as if something’s hanging on it.”

The headless child was precisely hanging by her neck, right in front of her.

Zhang Lei laughed and said, “That’s entirely because you play on your phones instead of sleeping at night, it has nothing to do with any unclean entities.”

He looked at Lu Chuan with a trace of contempt in his eyes, “Cousin, if you’re too scared to venture with us, you didn’t have to come with Yurou.

There’s no need to tell us these scary stories.”

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly, “Since you don’t believe it, I can only let you see for yourselves what kind of things are following you now.”

Zhang Lei perked up at this, “Fine, I really want to see what dares to follow me.

If there really is something, I’ll slap it away immediately!”

Zheng Siqi and Liu Yue also found Lu Chuan’s words somewhat amusing, and their impression of Tang Yurou’s cousin dropped instantly.

In their eyes, Lu Chuan’s behavior was cowardice.

And a cowardly man couldn’t attract girls.

Lu Chuan didn’t waste any words, he just snapped his fingers, cast a spell on Tang Yurou and the others so that they could see what was on each of them.

The atmosphere in the whole graveyard instantly turned eerie.

Tang Yurou looked over at her three friends, and when she saw the three terrifying ghosts following them, she was frightened and immediately hid behind Lu Chuan, “You guys…

on your bodies!”

“What about our bodies?

Isn’t nothing wrong?” Zhang Lei still maintained his casual demeanor, then turned his head to look at Zheng Siqi and Liu Yue next to him.

When he saw the headless boy and the hanged ghost on the girls, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he froze.

Then he turned to look at his own shoulder, and just as he made eye contact with the water ghost, his pupils dilated sharply and his face turned extremely pale, then he plopped down on the ground.

He hurriedly tried to pull the water ghost off his shoulder, and with a crying voice, he shouted, “What the hell is this thing, get off me now!

Get off!

Mommy…

I…

I’m scared!”

He kept shifting backward on the ground, completely losing his earlier composure, and the path he took was left with puddles of water.

This bold brother, who just a while ago claimed he would slap away such dirty things, was now scared enough to wet his pants.
