Chapter 320: Chapter 291: Pretending to be a Ghost to Scare People_1

He Jingyu pondered for a moment, looked at his wife and daughter, and smiled faintly.

"Yes, at least we can have a very peaceful life for now," He Jingyu said, patting his wife’s hand. "I’ll go find Village Chief Qi now and get him to help us set up a shed here. We’ll be spending a lot of time here in the future."

"Sure!" Wang Shuping said, "I was actually thinking the same thing."

"Let’s head back together, there’s no need to stay here," He Jingyu said. Though the climb up the mountain wasn’t very hot, there were a lot of mosquitoes.

"I can’t let go of these fruit trees," Wang Shuping said, looking tenderly at the newly planted trees.

In Nan City, their business no longer existed!

Now it had shifted here!

"He he, it’s fine," He Jingyu said, "Although Qijia Village is remote, Village Chief Qi said it’s still quite serene."

The family of three descended the mountain!

He Jingyu went to find Village Chief Qi to help set up a shed!

Secretary Qi happily agreed and would come tomorrow!

Wang Shuping, upset by the incident in Nan City, went to rest early in the evening.

Although she had reassured her mother earlier not to worry about the peach saplings, He Tiantian was uneasy at night and decided to go check on them. Anyway, she was going to the back mountain, and the Peach Orchard was near the cave, so she helped her parents watch over the orchard.

Once she reached the mountaintop, He Tiantian walked around the Peach Orchard before entering the cave.

Inside the cave, He Tiantian waited for Snake King to appear, but after a while, there was still no sign of him.

"Gurulu gurumi..." He Tiantian called out, "Snake King, why aren’t you coming out?"

At this moment, Snake King had transformed back into a plump cherubic child, wearing a bellyband and with a red-faced struggle to revert to serpent form. However, out of five attempts, only one was successful, and it lasted only for a short while before he turned back into the plump little boy.

What was comical was that it was a plump little boy with a tail growing out of his buttocks.

"I need to cultivate," Snake King said angrily, "You are not allowed to call me! I need to cultivate!"

He Tiantian stuck out her tongue and, startled, said, "Then cultivate away. I won’t disturb you."

Snake King hadn’t been this irritable and explosive for a long time!

He Tiantian remembered how often Snake King would fly into a rage when he had just been reborn.

As Snake King practiced his spell inside, He Tiantian couldn’t see or guess what was happening. But since Snake King was in a barrier, she wasn’t worried.

Her main task for today was to look after the Peach Orchard.

He Tiantian squinted on the stone for a while before heading out for a stroll.

As it neared three o’clock, He Tiantian set out, ready to leave.

However, just as He Tiantian exited the cave’s barrier, she faintly heard the murmuring of voices not far away!

"Second Leprosy, are we there yet?" a strange male voice asked, "It’s so dark in the dead of night, I can hardly see. Why did you call me out here?"

He Tiantian did not recognize the voice. It didn’t seem to be someone from Qijia Village!

There was no one called Second Leprosy in Qijia Village.

Then, the man called Second Leprosy whispered, "I’m giving you money to work with me, don’t ask too many questions!"

"Yes, yes!" the other man, hearing Second Leprosy’s unfriendly tone, agreed repeatedly.

Before long, they finally arrived at the Peach Orchard.

"Crackle crackle..."

It sounded like the noise of sawing wood, a bit distant, so He Tiantian couldn’t see clearly.

"Snake King, those people are trying to destroy my parents’ Peach Orchard," He Tiantian said in her heart. "Please help me see who those two people are!"

The Snake King was already stewing with anger, looking for an outlet, and hearing He Tiantian’s plea finally gave it one.

Stirred by emotion, it succeeded in transforming!

Having returned to its original form, the energy within its body stabilized, allowing it to switch freely between human and snake form!

The Snake King left the barrier and flew straight over.

"Snake King..." He Tiantian shouted in her heart. The Snake King had a bad temper; would it just kill those two people on the spot?

The Snake King did not respond, just went about its own business.

Just as those two people cut through the fence and were about to enter, the Snake King had already arrived in front of them!

It didn’t want to dirty its mouth by biting these filthy humans with its teeth.

The Snake King, with a whip of its tail like a raging dragon, smacked their faces twice with a snap.

"Ahhh..." The two people screamed like pigs being slaughtered, clutching their faces and rolling on the ground.

Afterward, the Snake King flew back in the blink of an eye, re-entering the barrier.

He Tiantian hesitantly asked, "Will... will those two people die?"

"They won’t die!" The Snake King replied lazily. "Hurry back home!"

He Tiantian pointed at the two men who were rolling and wailing and asked, "What about those two?"

"Once the pain subsides, they’ll leave this place," answered the Snake King. "I need to continue my cultivation, don’t disturb me..."

Seeing the Snake King’s attitude, He Tiantian quickly left along the familiar path.

However, since they weren’t going to die, He Tiantian wasn’t willing to just let them off so easily; she wanted to teach them a lesson.

Also, the Snake King’s actions were very rough; it only beat them without demanding an explanation for why they should be beaten!

Letting these two people go so easily was too lenient on them.

He Tiantian stopped, realized she was upwind, found a dense patch of grass to squat in, then pinched her nose and lowered her voice to mimic the wailing of a miserable female ghost: "I’ve been wronged... I’ve been wrongly accused..."

The sound was distant and mournful, eerie with a chilling effect!

There was no reaction from the other side, and He Tiantian was slightly disappointed.

The Snake King inside the barrier, seeing He Tiantian’s intention to scare these two men, created a mist-like blue light not far from her, with the vague shape of a long-haired woman within, and a very long tongue...

"Second Leprosy... did you hear that?" one of the men stammered, and turning his head, saw the blue light, "Ghost..."

Second Leprosy was also stunned, his teeth chattering, he said, "I... I heard someone speaking..."

"I’ve been wronged..." He Tiantian’s voice became even more mournful and louder than before. The shadow in the blue light seemed highly agitated, moving dramatically.

"A ghost!" After shouting, they ran off in a frenzy, with one of them running several meters before bumping into a tree in the dark and knocking himself out.

Second Leprosy was terribly frightened too; looking at the shadow, he swallowed hard and said, "There are no ghosts... there were never any ghosts..."

"Whether or not there are ghosts, you’ll know when you die and become one..." He Tiantian spoke eerily and leisurely, her voice mixing with the mountain wind, sounding all the more terrifying!

At that moment, the shadow in the blue light lunged at him with wild gestures.

"I... I don’t want to die... I don’t want to die..." Second Leprosy spoke out of turn in a complete panic, running about frantically like a headless fly.
