Quick Wear: Pampering Your Lover

It turned out that the Zhang couple were almost fifty years old and had not yet conceived a child. Even though they had been seeing doctors and looking for folk remedies, and had tried everything, it was still of no avail.

Although her husband never complained to her about the child, she always felt guilty. The Zhang family has only one descendant, and the family line cannot be extinct in her hands.

So she had no choice but to pray to the Rain Goddess every day, and even stayed in the temple for several days. She was burning incense and praying in the temple during those days, and fainted after hearing the news of her husband's disappearance. As for the rumor that her husband disappeared in the Rain God Temple, it was a rumor.

After listening to this, Mingzhen seemed to be thinking about something, and told Zhong Yumi and the other two about the situation in the Rain Temple.

"So the culprit is most likely the old locust tree in the Rain Temple, and the accomplice is Aunt Zhang?" Ye San touched his chin and came to a conclusion.

Zhong Yumi nodded. "Aunt Zhang is such a strange person. This possibility is very likely. Let's go down through this cave and explore the underground of the Rain Temple together. Missing people always leave some clues."

"I have no objection." Yu Wan'er quickly expressed her opinion.

Qi Qing frowned and said, "I think we can leave two people to investigate the homes of the other missing persons, focusing on asking about the Rain Temple. We want to know if the missing persons had any abnormalities before their death, and whether they would go to the Rain Temple."

Zhong Yumi curled her lips upon hearing this and leaned close to Mingzhen, muttering, "I'm going to be with Zhenzhen anyway, don't try to get rid of me this time!"

Mingzhen glared at him and jumped directly into the underground entrance. Qi Qing didn't say anything, but reacted quickly and jumped down in an instant.

Zhong Yumi was anxious and said to Ye San and Yu Wan'er, "You two go and investigate. Be careful and cover the entrance to the cave."

"Okay, Brother Zhong, go ahead and don't worry!" Ye San saluted respectfully and promised not to hold his boss back.

Zhong Yumi was speechless at his dying look. He kicked him, sped up, and chased after him.

The underground passages were intricate and had many branches, with locust tree roots entwined in almost every place. Although it was dark around, there was an oil lamp hanging on the earthen wall every few steps, so that they would not be completely in the dark.

When they reached another fork in the road, the three of them looked at each other. Mingzhen took the lead and stepped into the left intersection. This time, Zhong Yumi followed him quickly, and arrogantly put his hands behind his back and gave him the middle finger.

However, Qi Qing was not angry. He just shifted his gaze slightly and walked to the right.

After the passage twisted and turned several times, a faint stench came to the tip of the nose. The stench became stronger as they walked forward, and Mingzhen and Zhong Yumi's expressions became more solemn.

Zhong Yumi pulled Mingzhen, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, and gently placed it on her cheek.

Mingzhen looked up, her bright almond-shaped eyes gazing at him. The young man couldn't help but shield her eyes and turned his face away. "Zhenzhen, there's something unusual up ahead. I'll go check it out. You wait here."

He took Mingzhen's hand, put a ring on her ring finger, leaned in and whispered, "If anything unexpected happens, it will protect you."

This unpleasant smell was very similar to the stench of a rotting corpse. If he guessed correctly, the place ahead should be the hiding place of the missing townspeople.

Such a bloody and dirty place is not suitable for Zhenzhen to set foot in.

Mingzhen looked at Zhong Yumi's departing back and curled his lips slightly.

Although this person has a somewhat childish temperament, he also has a certain sense of security.

She didn't have to follow to find out what was going on. It would be great to have someone leading the way ahead. But things didn't go as she wished. The place where Mingzhen was standing suddenly collapsed. She reacted very quickly and tried to jump away, but the vine-like tree roots entangled her ankles and pulled her into the ground.

For some reason, she did not feel any malice from the locust tree, and the defensive equipment on her body was not triggered.

This was indeed the case. Mingzhen fell into a very spacious place with green grass, blue sky and white clouds. She looked around in confusion.

If she fell further down, she would have gone deeper underground. How did she end up in a place like this?

Hallucination?

Mingzhen cautiously drew out the dagger, gave himself strength and slashed forward fiercely. Then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

......

A full moon hangs high outside the window, and the stars are dotted on the night sky. The bright moonlight falls on the courtyard, passes through the eaves, climbs up the window frame, and falls on the table by the window.

The long sandalwood table with golden threads was decorated with double happiness patterns and was lit with red candles depicting auspicious dragons and phoenixes.

Various kinds of wedding fruits and cakes, exquisite pastries and soups, wine jugs and glasses tied with red silk... Festive items were arranged in an orderly manner all over the table. The candlelight was dancing, and the snow-white pastries seemed to be wrapped in a layer of red gauze.

At first glance, the room is full of red.

"Squeak-"

Someone opened the door and stepped into the room.

The light footsteps stopped in front of the bed, as if quietly watching the petite figure on the bed.

The person on the bed was wearing a wedding dress, without a red veil. She just lay there quietly with her eyes closed. Under the warm light, her eyelashes, like small fans, cast shadows on her cheeks, and her lips were as shiny and red as if they were painted with rouge.

The candlelight was dim, and the young man standing beside the bed was very tall. Even in his heavy wedding clothes, he still looked slender, but the touch of red gave him an alluring cold and abstinence that added a touch of allure to his transcendent temperament.

Qi Qing's eyes softened as he leaned over and placed a kiss on the girl's forehead.

He did not make a wish to the "Rain Goddess" in the illusion at that time, but she had already seen his inner wish.

Only now did he realize that his true desire was to become husband and wife with Zhenzhen.

The "Rain Goddess" wanted to fulfill his wish, but he knew that if he immersed himself in it, he would die.

Qi Qing picked up Mingzhen, gently held her in his arms, and launched the empowered killing field. In an instant, the surrounding scene collapsed, the ground shook, and the two of them stood in the dim passage again, and their wedding clothes returned to their original attire.

The thick locust tree roots came overwhelmingly and attacked the two people quickly, but they were cut off halfway by the murderous intent condensed in the killing domain.

Pieces of tree roots fell to the ground, but they still could not get within three steps of Qi Qing.

"Boom——"

The ground cracked, the tree roots condensed in front, and a strange locust tree monster with six arms, six eyes, and a bloody mouth on its abdomen slowly appeared.

"You are only at the late stage of the Earthly Aperture Realm, yet you can actually break free from this illusion? Die!"

The locust tree demon spoke in human language, and the rows of sharp teeth in the big mouth on his abdomen were clearly visible, and even blood could be seen between the teeth. He waved his six arms, and the tree roots, which were several times thicker and tougher than before, attacked the two people.

......

The further Zhong Yumi went, the stronger the stench became, until it became so tangible that it almost made him faint.

He covered his nose tightly with his clothes and saw the suddenly wide scene in front of him in the dim light.

There was a locust tree two people tall standing in the middle, with its branches lushly extending in all directions. On the branches, there were densely packed black shadows, some of which were even dripping liquid onto the ground.

Not good.

His face was cold and he took a few steps forward without fear.

......
