This is a bamboo forest. The crowns of several towering trees above the bamboo forest block out the sun and cover the surrounding area, preventing light from penetrating into the bamboo forest below. The forest is dark and gloomy.

Below the bamboo forest, there was a field of weeds as tall as a person, which seemed to hide something, but I couldn't see anything clearly. Unconsciously, I wanted to get closer. The closer I got to the dark blue brick wall hidden in the weeds, the more mysterious this place seemed.

Mu Qingcheng seemed to be attracted by something and pulled by that mysterious force, wanting to go in and find out what was going on.

The village chief took the four of them and wanted to take a shortcut to see the open space in front. But as they walked, they lost sight of Mu Qingcheng.

A few people hurriedly turned back to look for her, and saw Mu Qingcheng walking into the deep woods as if possessed.

"No! Stop her!" the village chief shouted. Mo Yu moved in a few breaths and was next to Mu Qingcheng, grabbing her arm.

"Mu...! Cousin, what are you doing?" Mo Yu was so anxious that he almost shouted "Miss Mu".

Mu Qingcheng looked at Mo Yu in confusion: "I just saw a wall and wanted to see what was going on."

"Wall? Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

Mo Yu had been trained since childhood, and the moment he approached this place, he felt a chill all over his body, and a murderous aura surged. He tensed up and took a defensive stance, protecting Mu Qingcheng behind him.

Mu Qingcheng stretched out her hand from behind him and pointed to him: "It's inside. Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Just as they were about to head towards the woods, the village chief and Su Qingyan came over with Mu Yao.

"You can't go in there. Come back quickly! Come back quickly."

The village chief came running all the way here, stopped at the side of the road panting, and refused to move forward another step.

"You can't go in there, come here quickly."

Mu Qingcheng didn't know why, but she really wanted to go and take a look, but unfortunately Mo Yu had already pulled her back to the path.

The village chief turned pale with fear and patted his chest, saying, "I'm really old. I'm out of breath after running a few steps."

Mu Qingcheng asked: "Uncle Village Chief, what exactly is that place? I think I saw a house inside."

Mu Yao also became interested and jumped up to look inside: "Where, where, where is the house? Why can't I see it?"

Mu Qingcheng was stunned! Could it be that God was finally willing to open her third eye?

To verify whether she really had X-ray vision, Mu Qingcheng deliberately stood in the middle of the crowd and looked carefully. She really couldn't see anything. Ugh! All her excitement was in vain.

The village chief recovered and said, "There is indeed a house in there."

"Oh! So I'm not seeing things. Does this house have an owner? Can I go and take a look?" Mu Qingcheng asked excitedly.

The village chief started to get nervous again: "I'm telling you, you must not go in here. That house is haunted and eats people. Once you go in, you can't get out."

"Wow!" Mu Yao screamed in fear and threw herself into Su Qingyan's arms.

Mu Qingcheng was extremely excited: "Who built this house? Is it haunted because something happened?"

The village chief was in a dilemma. If he told the story, he was afraid it would scare the girls. If he didn't tell the story, he was afraid the kids would barge in without knowing the danger. What if something happened? He had no choice but to tell the less scary part.

"This house was built more than 20 years ago. I heard that the son of a wealthy family in the capital came here by chance and thought it was a quiet place suitable for studying, so he built a luxurious house here.

I was still young then, not yet the village chief, but I had seen the house myself. It was truly beautiful, with even the walls painted white and a vermilion gate hung with red lanterns. It was so magnificent. There was even a small garden inside! The house was so huge...!

The village chief spoke passionately, but the four people in front of him just had an expression of "that's it..." on their faces.

Well, he's ignorant.

The village chief returned to the topic: "After the house was repaired, a young man moved in. We all thought we would see him and his family moving in, but unexpectedly, he was the only one living there, with a dozen guards and a few servants. The only two women were the maids who cooked and cleaned.

The young master rarely stayed here for more than a few days a year. I remember one year when he stayed the longest. He even took his servants and family members hunting in the mountains. They brought back a snow-white fox. The fox was injured, but it wasn't afraid of people and kept crying for the young master. The young master took pity on it and kept it alive. The white fox was very spiritual, and the young master loved it very much. The white fox stayed by his side day and night, and was reluctant to leave when he left. Later, the young master took the white fox with him.

Mu Qingcheng: "..." Oh! This story is so poorly made up, it can only fool a girl like Mu Yao.

But when he looked back, he saw that not only Mu Yao, but also Su Qingyan and Mo Yu were fascinated by what he was saying.

Mu Qingcheng: “…” I despise you.

Mu Yao clung to the village chief's arm and rocked back and forth: "What happened next? What happened next?"

The village chief said, "Later on! The young man didn't come for a long time. Some people said that the white fox had become a spirit. It was a fox during the day, and turned into a woman at night..."

"Wow!" Mu Yao asked excitedly with her eyes sparkling, "Did she suck all the blood from the young master?"

"Ahem! Mu Yao." Su Qingyan hurriedly covered Mu Yao's mouth to prevent her from saying more absurd words.

"Tsk, what's that!" Mu Qingcheng decided to open their eyes and make up a more exciting one.

"Let me tell you." She pulled Mu Yao over and said, "That night, a servant came to bring tea to the young master. From afar, he could hear pleasant laughter coming from the study. The servant secretly leaned over the window to look in. He saw a graceful woman dancing around the young master. The clothes she wore were not ordinary fabrics. Her skirt was as shimmering and gorgeous as if dotted with stars. She spun like a flower blooming, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her. But the young master's eyes, mind, and heart could no longer let go of anyone or anything. He forgot all about studying and becoming the top scholar..."

Mu Qingcheng told a tragic love story between a human and a demon, which made Mu Yao's eyes well up with tears, and Su Qingyan's face was also full of sadness.

Mo Yu: "..." He knew that Miss Mu was not from the same world as them, she came from the fairyland.

The village chief wondered how this girl knew so much. He had never heard of the stories she told, but they were quite interesting.

While everyone was still savoring the thought, Mu Qingcheng had already moved on to the next topic: "Village Chief, you said there was a large mansion here? What happened to the young master later? Why did he abandon this mansion? Did something happen?"

The village chief sighed, "I heard that the young man and the white fox later gave birth to a son, and his family soon found out. The young man was married, and I heard that his wife was pregnant. When she found out, she was so angry that she had a miscarriage, so she sent people to kill the white fox and her son. The young man then sent the white fox and her son here for refuge."

Mu Qingcheng frowned. There is a story behind this!

"It's true. I experienced it myself. One night twenty years ago, many men on horseback came to Daxi Village, armed with swords. They stormed into the house. That night, there were constant cries of killing. Later that night, it rained heavily, and there was a strong wind. The trees were uprooted. The old people in the village said it was the white fox casting its magic."

"At daybreak, I and a few brave villagers went to check inside the house. We saw blood all over the ground, but no body."

Mu Qingcheng and Mo Yu looked at each other and saw something unusual in each other's eyes. This was probably not an ordinary murder of passion. There might be a huge secret involved. The legend of the white fox and the young master was just to cover up the truth.
