"Why can't I go in?"

Pei Zhiyi actually had some vague guesses in his mind, but in the end he couldn't make a very definite judgment.

"No reason, I just can't go in."

The Guardian Skeleton usually has a good temper, but now he suddenly becomes irritable.

"It's better to go back quickly. There's no need to sacrifice your life here just for a few spirit stones from you humans."

Pay with your life?

Is this mission so scary?

Shen Junhan didn't say anything, just followed Pei Zhiyi. No matter whether Pei Zhiyi decided to move forward or backward, she would just follow him.

"Don't worry, Lord Guardian. Since we dare to come here, we are fully prepared."

The guarding skeleton wanted to curse, but as a skeleton, he didn't have many curse words, so he just kept saying that no one was allowed to enter.

"I said no entry, and that means no entry."

Although she knew that this stubborn and rigid guardian skeleton was doing this for their own good, Pei Zhiyi's patience was clearly running out.

"Then it should be okay for us to go to the ghost domain for a walk, right?" Pei Zhiyi winked at Shen Junhan. "This is our first time here, and we haven't seen much of the world. I heard that the ghost domain is always in darkness and the night market is quite prosperous, so we want to take a look. If we can find something rare and unique, that would be great."

"Yeah!"

Shen Junhan instantly understood Pei Zhiyi's meaning, "Master Guardian, please be kind and we promise to leave after we're done."

"Really?"

Pei Zhiyi and Shen Junhan looked at each other and nodded in unison: "Really!"

"Alright then." The Guardian Skeleton didn't think much of it. "Play around, but remember to get out early. After all, humans stay in the Ghost Realm for too long, and their bodies will be tainted by ghost energy. When you return, you'll need several months of rest to recover."

"Of course, of course. Thank you for the reminder, Lord Guardian."

"Okay, let's go in."

The guarding skeleton asked the skeleton soldiers below to let them pass, and Pei Zhiyi and Shen Junhan walked in so brazenly.

It wasn't until they disappeared from view that Shen Junhan held his stomach and burst into laughter.

"Although this is a bit unfair, I really didn't expect that they are so clueless." Shen Junhan suddenly felt that these skeletons only looked scary, but in fact, each one was simpler than the other.

“Sometimes, the human heart is the most sinister.”

"What you said makes a lot of sense." Shen Junhan didn't know what he was thinking about. He suddenly felt a little depressed and murmured softly: "The most terrifying thing in this world is the human heart..."

"What are you talking about?"

Shen Junhan uttered an "ah" and instantly turned into a bright little sun again. "I didn't say anything. I was just wondering, if he knew we lied to him, would he be very angry?"

"No matter how angry we are, we probably won't remember you the next time we meet." Pei Zhiyi had read in an ancient book, "The people of the ghost realm have very poor memories. They can't remember the person they saw once. Even if you stood in front of them for a long time, or even if you chatted for a long time and became friends for a long time, they still wouldn't remember who you were the next day."

"Is that so?" Shen Junhan suddenly felt even more guilty. "I feel like I just lied to a child."

"That's not cheating." Pei Zhiyi said frankly, "Who told him not to let us in?"

Shen Junhan gave Pei Zhiyi a thumbs up and said, "You're right."

Pei Zhiyi couldn't help laughing, and then suddenly realized that she seemed... very happy every day with Shen Junhan.

So this is what it feels like to have a good friend who is sincere and genuine.

"Let's find a place to stay first. I need to think about this mission."

What's so special about this mission? Why would even the guardian skeletons in the ghost realm directly forbid anyone from entering?

"That's it." Shen Junhan casually pointed to a house that looked like an inn. "All the inns here are covered with white cloth. It seems there is nothing to choose from."

"Row."

As I walked into the inn, a strong yin energy hit me in the face.

"Two distinguished human guests, would you like to stay overnight or stay at the hotel?"

It's impossible to say that I didn't feel a trembling in my heart when I saw the ghost that suddenly appeared.

"Two upper rooms."

"Hello, dear guests." Apia's voice echoed as he turned around and said, "My two guests, please follow me."

She was assigned to the two innermost rooms on the second floor. Shen Junhan felt that it was not suitable for her to live alone.

"Xiao Pei, we can actually sleep together."

Pei Zhiyi shook his head with a smile in his eyes, "But Xiao Shen, I really don't like sleeping with others."

Shen Junhan: "..."

"This distinguished guest has nothing to fear."

Apia seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, so he was very serious when comforting people: "As long as the guests lock the door at night and do not respond or open the door when they hear any noise, then they will spend the night safely."

"What if I responded?" Shen Junhan had to ask this question, and regretted it right after asking it.

Apia suddenly laughed grimly. "If you respond to the unknown voice at night, I'm not sure what horrors you'll encounter. This inn isn't big, so we can't guarantee the life or death of our two human guests. So, you two must be careful tonight. It's best if you can fall into a deep sleep and know nothing."

Shen Junhan: "..." She will definitely fall asleep.

Pei Zhiyi nodded slightly, "Thank you for your reminder."

"Then I wish the two human guests a pleasant night." After saying this, Apia disappeared into the darkness.

"She, she's leaving now?"

Pei Zhiyi spread his hands and said, "Maybe all the ghosts are so elusive. We have to stay here for a while, just get used to it."

"I'll get used to it." Shen Junhan was about to cry.

"Okay, go to bed early and follow the instructions of that ghost store manager. It's best to fall into a deep sleep."

"understood."

Shen Junhan turned around, looking distraught.

Pei Zhiyi had no choice but to cast a spiritual power on her back, hoping that she would not scream tonight.

Watching Shen Junhan close the door, Pei Zhiyi was also about to enter his room, but he paused the moment he stepped over the threshold and turned his head to look back.

Although the other party was very fast, she still saw those green eyes.

The demon race is really everywhere.

Pei Zhiyi closed the door, lowered his eyes and smiled. This smile contained an indescribable meaning.

"It was such a fun first night, I'm really looking forward to the rest."

"boom."

The door was shut tightly.

"Has she spotted us?"

"That's impossible. We dodged so quickly, and she's not a god. How could she possibly see us?"

"But I just think that smile she gave when she closed the door was quite creepy."

"It's possible that all human women smile like this, don't overthink it."

"alright."

What kind of good person would laugh so scary?
