Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much

Ye Bai was frightened by the threat from the skeleton, but he remained expressionless.

He knew very well that in this situation, any trace of panic could become a fatal weakness.

So, he calmed himself down and said calmly, "Senior, I did not mean to disturb your resting place. We are just passing by and have no intention of offending you."

The skeleton was silent for a moment, as if weighing the truth of Ye Bai's words. At this time, Yang Mi asked softly, "Mr. Ye, what should we do now?"

Ye Bai turned his head and glanced at Yang Mi. Seeing her face full of fear, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but the situation was urgent, so he could only respond briefly: "Stabilize it first, and then find a chance to escape."

The skeleton's voice sounded again, hoarse and full of oppression: "If that's the case, why does the thing in your hand make me feel uneasy?"

Ye Bai followed the skeleton's gaze to the dagger in his hand, and his heart trembled.

He realized that this repaired broken blade obviously had some special meaning, perhaps something that the skeleton feared.

Ye Bai suddenly had an idea and decided to use this as a bargaining chip. "What are you talking about, Senior? This is just an ordinary weapon used for self-defense."

Upon hearing this, the skeleton seemed even more alert. A faint light flickered in its hollow eye sockets, as if it were pondering something. "Ordinary weapon? Why do I sense a familiar aura?"

"Senior, you are too kind." Ye Bai smiled casually and said, "Perhaps it is fate between us. In that case, how about we talk about it?"

The skeleton seemed touched by Ye Bai's attitude. It slowly said, "What are you talking about?"

"Tell me about your past." Ye Bai continued, "Since you have been able to sleep here for a thousand years and remain immortal, you must have extraordinary abilities. I am willing to listen to your story."

The skeleton was silent, as if recalling something. After a long while, it spoke: "How much of my story can you understand?"

"At least they're better than those tomb robbers who only know how to be greedy." Ye Bai cleverly turned the topic to the deceased tomb robbers: "They didn't know how to be respectful, so they got the punishment they deserved."

The skeleton seemed touched, and a hint of emotion appeared in its cold voice: "Reverence? Humph, how many people in this world truly understand reverence?"

"Senior." Ye Bai said, "Since you have seen through the mundane world, why don't you let go of your hatred and let us go?"

The skeleton was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a sigh-like low murmur: "Fine, I will let you go today, but remember, do not set foot here again."

Ye Bai was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained humble: "Thank you for your generosity, Senior. I will definitely keep it in mind."

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a clear voice suddenly came from a distance: "Ye Bai! Where are you?"

They both started at the same time, Yang Mi almost losing her balance. Ye Bai quickly assessed the situation, realizing it was Meng Ziyi's voice, and secretly thought, "Not good!" If the skeleton discovered there were other people, the situation could become even more complicated.

"Mr. Ye, that's Sister Meng." Yang Mi said anxiously, "What should we do?"

Ye Bai decisively grabbed Yang Mi's hand and signaled her to be quiet.

Then, he shouted into the void: "Miss Meng, we are here, but please be careful."

Meng Ziyi's voice was getting closer and closer, and finally appeared in the sight of the two.

When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but gasp.

"What...what is going on?"

Ye Bai briefly explained the current situation and reminded Meng Ziyi not to act rashly.

Although Meng Ziyi was surprised, he had seen big scenes after all, so he quickly calmed down.

"Senior Skeleton, this is my companion. She means no harm." Ye Bai tried to communicate with the Skeleton: "The three of us promise not to bother you again. Please let us go."

The skeleton looked at the three of them, finally nodded, and sighed: "Well, I will let you go today. But remember, this is the territory of the dead, the living should not set foot here."

As the skeleton finished speaking, an invisible force pushed the three of them toward the tomb's exit. Ye Bai quickly pulled Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi away, and only when they reached a safe place did they stop and breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Ye, thank you for saving us." Meng Ziyi said gratefully: "If it weren't for you, we might have..."

"You're welcome." Ye Bai smiled faintly: "We are all trying to survive, so helping each other is what we should do."

Yang Mi looked at Ye Bai with admiration in her eyes. "Mr. Ye, you are truly amazing. Not only are you brave and resourceful, but you can also remain calm in such a dangerous situation."

Ye Bai smiled and said nothing more. He knew that in this world full of unknowns, only those who had truly experienced the test of life and death could understand the hardships involved.

"The most important thing now is to leave here as soon as possible." Ye Bai reminded: "Who knows if that skeleton will change his mind."

Yang Mi quickly composed herself and followed Ye Bai toward another fork in the road. This road was densely packed with coffins, exuding a gloomy atmosphere that made Meng Ziyi frown. Yang Mi, on the other hand, looked around as if nothing had happened, excitedly examining each coffin, as if hoping to discover a treasure within. Ye Bai, however, didn't like this, and so he quickened his pace.

They quickly passed through the fork in the road.

Ye Bai looked up at the sky, noticing it was getting dark, indicating night was about to fall. He suddenly remembered that when they first entered the ancient house, the female ghost had told them that after darkness fell, the house's trap would be triggered. Furthermore, this trap was extremely powerful, and even those with superb martial arts skills or special abilities would be vulnerable, unless they possessed exceptionally powerful magic.

But now there is only more than half an hour left before darkness falls, and it is impossible to create tools to destroy the mechanism during this time, so they can only choose to escape.

"Mr. Ye?" Meng Ziyi woke up Ye Bai who was lost in thought: "Let's leave quickly."

"Oh, no hurry." Ye Bai waved his hand: "I want to walk around a little longer. No one lives here anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to let us explore it slowly?"

Meng Ziyi rubbed his forehead in distress: "How can we have time to play now? It will be troublesome if we get caught by the authorities."

"What are you afraid of?" Ye Bai curled his lips in disdain. "With the three of us working together, why would we be afraid of this?" He paused. "Besides, the owner of this tomb is a top master. If he can't even handle this little trick, wouldn't that be embarrassing?"

Meng Ziyi hesitated and said, "But..."

"Alright, alright, I promise you." Ye Bai compromised. "I won't run around, okay? Let's find a secret place to hide and wait for the mechanism to fail."
