Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Perhaps hearing the sound of their conversation, the splashing from within the Well grew louder.

Then, something broke the surface.

A clump of dark, seaweed-like long hair appeared before their eyes, dripping wet.

Right after that, a shriveled, corpse-pale hand reached out of the Well and latched onto the rim.

“Oh my god! A ghost!”

Rich guy yelped and immediately ducked behind Yun Youyou.

Yun Youyou: … My native language is speechless.

He was scared out of his mind yet still wanted to watch-could he at least have a clear understanding of his own bravery?

Yun Youyou’s slender body couldn’t possibly hide Rich guy’s two-hundred-plus-pound bulk.

Trembling, Rich guy clutched the corner of Yun Youyou’s clothes and yelled at the Well, “Halt! What kind of ghost are you? Tell this young master your name, now!”

Yun Youyou glanced at him, then said earnestly, “Have you ever considered that we might not be able to beat that ghost?”

Rich guy’s breathing stalled.

“Huh? Th-th-that can’t be, right?”

He really had never thought about that.

Rich guy started trembling even harder. “Th-then maybe we should leave?”

As he spoke, he hurriedly started backing away.

“Too late.”

Yun Youyou watched the Water Ghost-already half out of the Well-and grabbed Rich guy before he could bolt.

“Lean and fat together tastes even better. Don’t go yet.”

Rich guy looked like he was about to cry.

“But I don’t want to get eaten!”

Very soon, the Female Ghost climbed up out of the Well.

Her limbs were long and stick-thin, and her withered skin was wrinkled, plastered tight to her bones.

In only a moment, the ground was covered in water dripping off her.

Seeing the once-clean little courtyard turned filthy with puddles, Yun Youyou frowned.

“You ghost have zero manners. If you’re coming up, can’t you at least dry yourself off first?”

Female Ghost: ???

This was the first time she’d ever heard such a ridiculous demand.

I’m a Water Ghost. If I’m not dripping wet, who is?

Relying on Yun Youyou’s presence to act tough, Rich guy hid behind her and echoed, “Yeah, yeah! Coming to someone else’s place as a guest and dirtying their floor-have you ever considered how much of a pain mopping is?”

The Female Ghost flew into a rage.

She’d been terrorizing Players for years-whoever saw her didn’t get scared witless?

And this Fatty dared to run his mouth at her!

Her lips split into a grin, the corners of her mouth stretching nearly to the backs of her ears as she revealed a set of chilling, horrifying teeth.

“Fatty, you’re dead!”

With Yun Youyou in front shielding him, Fatty actually had the nerve to stick his tongue out at the Female Ghost.

“Blehh! If you’ve got what it takes, then eat me! Afraid you’ll burst from overeating?”

Then he even turned around and slapped his butt at her, arrogant as could be.

The Female Ghost burned with fury, her soaking hair nearly drying out from sheer rage.

She glared viciously at Fatty’s big ass.

Just you wait-I’ll make you my snack to go with a drink.

The Female Ghost dropped her withered limbs to the ground and skittered toward Rich guy.

She moved insanely fast, like a huge spider that knew exactly what it was doing.

In the blink of an eye, she was almost in Rich guy’s face.

Rich guy put his hands on his hips, not even blinking, and smugly said to Yun Youyou, “Go on! Tear her into pieces for me!”

Yun Youyou shot him a slow glance. “Nope. She’s not after me. None of my damn business.”

Rich guy: “!!!”

By then, the Female Ghost had already crawled right up to Rich guy.
She brushed aside her wet black hair and flashed a sinister smile at the Rich guy.

“Come into my mouth.”

Yun Youyou very considerately took a step to the side.

She didn’t want to disturb the Female Ghost’s meal.

Be a high-quality ghost, enjoy a beautiful life.

The Rich guy was spinning in place like a frantic top.

He looked left at Yun Youyou, then forward at the Female Ghost.

What to do! What to do! What to do!

The Female Ghost’s waterlogged, pale hand had already grabbed the Rich guy’s ankle.

The Rich guy was the picture of ‘pitiful, weak, and helpless.jpg’.

With a bitter face, he shook his leg desperately, trying to fling the Female Ghost’s hand off.

He shook for a long time, but instead of letting go, the Female Ghost’s grip only tightened.

Several bloody scratches appeared on his pale, fleshy ankle.

The Rich guy lost his footing and fell heavily to the ground.

The Female Ghost’s grin widened even further, revealing her blood-red gums.

“Hehehe… I’m digging in!”

A cold glint flashed across her sharp teeth as she moved to bite down.

The Rich guy let out a miserable scream and scrambled toward Yun Youyou’s position.

His arms slid laboriously across the floor.

At this point, he didn’t care about the filth.

In this moment, the Rich guy hated himself for being so fat; his weight was literally dragging him down at the critical moment.

He grabbed Yun Youyou’s calf, looked up, and pleaded humbly, “Waaaah… help this poor child! I don’t want to be eaten yet!!!”

Yun Youyou remained indifferent, staying out of the affair.

She pulled her leg out of the Rich guy’s grasp and walked forward coldly.

The Rich guy shouted from behind in despair, “Don’t leave me alone!”

At the critical moment of life and death, the Rich guy’s brain spun at high speed.

He suddenly stopped struggling and whipped his head around to look at the Female Ghost.

“Do you like cilantro?”

Female Ghost: “???”

She was just holding the Rich guy’s lower leg, about to bite down, when she heard this strange question.

Did this Fatty want to suggest a side dish to make her meal more satisfying?

However, the Female Ghost did not like cilantro.

She furrowed her brows in disgust. “Cilantro? Ugh… I hate cilantro. Sooner or later, I’m going to pull up every last bit of cilantro in this world!”

Hearing this answer, the Rich guy breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the Female Ghost excitedly, his eyes filled with smiles.

“That’s great! It’s so great that you don’t like cilantro!”

The Female Ghost looked bewildered.

Is there something wrong with this Fatty’s head?

Yun Youyou, who had already walked a few steps away, suddenly stopped.

As a loyal lover of cilantro, she could not tolerate anyone slandering the sacred herb!

She whipped around and strode toward the Female Ghost.

“Cilantro is the most delicious thing in the world! If you’re going to pull up all the cilantro in the world, then I’m going to plant the whole world full of it! That is my, Yun Youyou’s, dream!”

Female Ghost: …Another crazy one.

She spat disdainfully. “Pah! If you plant it, I’ll pull it all up.”

Yun Youyou rolled up her sleeves. “Then this old lady will pull out all your hair first!”

Female Ghost: Oh? Someone actually dares to talk to me like that.

Seeing Yun Youyou following behind the Fatty, the Female Ghost subconsciously assumed Yun Youyou was also a Player.

Yun Youyou-a ghost who had infiltrated the ranks of the Players-had been mistaken for a Player by other ghosts countless times.

The Female Ghost let go of the thick, sturdy leg in her hands and started crawling toward Yun Youyou instead.
