But because of how intimidating Feng Xun had been earlier, no one dared to accuse him out loud.
Feng Xun was confused as well.
If Jun Linyuan had been here, he could simply do whatever Boss Jun told him to do.
But Jun Linyuan wasn’t here, so Feng Xun was on his own.
“Xiao Wu, don’t be afraid! I’m here for you!” Feng Xun patted his chest. “I’ll protect you! Don’t worry!”
Feng Wu sighed inwardly.
Somehow, Feng Xun never brought her any good luck.
By then, it was so dark that they couldn’t even see their fingers in front of their faces.
Feng Xun held Feng Wu’s hand, for fear of losing her.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
“What are you doing?” Feng Wu then realized that a rope had been tied around her waist, and she turned to Feng Xun in confusion.
Feng Xun said happily, “I don’t want to lose you in the dark, so I tied a rope around your waist, and the other end is tied to my waistband. How’s that? Aren’t I clever?”
Feng Wu stared at Feng Xun.
Feng Xun’s big eyes flickered in the dark as he looked forward to Feng Wu’s compliment.
Feng Wu said, “You’re so childish.”
Feng Xun said, “I’m trying to protect you!”
Feng Wu said, “It’s so ugly. Untie me.”
Feng Xun refused. “I can’t do that. What if someone kills you in the dark? Boss Jun will kill me for that! I can’t take the risk.”
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
The others all laughed inwardly.
If His Royal Highness really cared about Feng Wu so much, why would he leave her behind?
“Ahhh —”
Just then, they heard someone cry out in the dark.
“Feng Liu? Feng Liu, is that you? What happened?”
“Someone grabbed my foot! Ahhh —” Feng Liu shrieked. “I can’t kick it away! It’s pulling my skirt! Help!!!”
Just then, someone else near Feng Liu screamed as well.
“Ahhh — it ate my shoe and is now biting my foot! Help!” That was Dugu Yamo.
Screams filled the hall, and nearly everyone was panic-stricken.
Feng Wu frowned. She could tell that someone was deliberately trying to scare them.
That was because —
Only the girls were screaming.
“Is it that bad? Why hasn’t anyone grabbed or bitten me yet? Are they faking it?” Feng Xun murmured.
Feng Wu shook her head. “No, they’re not.”
“What?” Feng Xun was bewildered.
Feng Wu said, “They haven’t attacked you, right?”
Feng Xun said, “That’s right.”
Feng Wu said, “If I’ve guessed correctly, they’re only targeting the girls.”
Feng Xun blinked. “Targeting the girls? Why?”
Feng Wu scratched her head helplessly. “I think they’re all male ghosts. You can call them lewd ghosts.”
Feng Xun said, “Seriously? There are such ghosts in this place? I didn’t see any mention of them in the historical records.”
Feng Wu wondered if she should tell Feng Xun that she had used this trick on Ranmil earlier, and they had learned it from her.
It was so hard to admit it.
