Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

Yun Rancang turned her head with difficulty, and in the instant her gaze shifted, she seemed to feel a cold aura rushing towards her.

When her gaze finally settled on him, his eyes widened in horror.

I was met with a face full of wrinkles.

That face was like a dry tree bark, crisscrossed with wrinkles, as if deeply etched by the years.

The skin on his face was an eerie grayish-white, devoid of any color, as if he were a corpse that had crawled out of a grave.

Those deep-set eyes gleamed with an eerie light, like two bottomless black holes, seemingly capable of swallowing one's soul.

His slightly open mouth revealed a row of uneven, yellow teeth, as if he were ready to bite her at any moment.

Yun Rancang's mind went blank. She wanted to scream, but found that her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't make a sound.

She could only watch helplessly as that terrifying face drew closer and closer, as if the shadow of death was closing in on her step by step.

Yun Suisi reacted quickly, pulling Yun Rancang behind him to protect him.

"What are you doing? Why are you trespassing on my property?"

The wrinkled man slowly scanned the four of them; his eyes were like those of a cold, venomous snake, sending chills down their spines.

His tone was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if he were an offended demon.

Jun Lique received a wink from Yun Suisi and stepped forward, saying, "Old man, I'm so sorry, we came here for sightseeing and got lost."

I had no intention of trespassing into the village, but I hadn't seen anyone, so I had no choice but to go inside and ask for directions.

I'm so sorry for the trouble.

Jun Li Que kept his eyes fixed on that person, his gaze sharp and keen, not missing a single subtle change in the other person's expression.

The wrinkled man's cold gaze softened slightly upon hearing Jun Li Que's words, but he remained wary.

"Hmph, this is no tourist spot, get out of here."

His voice was hoarse and deep, as if it came from the underworld.

Yun Suisi and the others exchanged glances, knowing that it was not advisable to linger any longer.

Yun Suisi nodded slightly. "Thank you for the reminder, sir. We'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he pulled Yun Rancang along with Jun Lique and Li Qinglan and slowly retreated.

However, just as they turned to leave, the old man suddenly smiled.

That smile was like a crack opening in dry tree bark, and the wrinkles on his face instantly piled up, like deep ravines carved by time.

"Wait, since you're here, why don't you have a meal before you leave?"

His tone was gentle, as if the scene of questioning he had just witnessed had never happened.

Jun Li Que was slightly taken aback, and quickly said:

"Sir, we are really sorry to bother you."

We had no intention of offending anyone; we simply got lost and wandered into this place by mistake.

We really wouldn't dare trouble you with this meal, so please don't bother.

His gaze involuntarily drifted to Yun Suisi and Yun Rancang, as if seeking their opinions.

The old man seemed to sense their concerns and said warmly again, "Don't refuse. It's not easy for you to be out here in the middle of nowhere. It's just a meal, nothing to bother you."

My house may be simple, but it's enough for you to rest and have a hot meal."

As the old man spoke, he stepped forward and gestured an invitation, his posture sincere and warm, as if he were welcoming a long-lost relative.

His eyes shone with a warm light, and his deep-set eyes seemed to hold endless kindness.

Come on, come on, don't be shy.

It's lonely living here alone, so it's nice to have you all here to talk to.

Yun Suisi pondered for a moment, then suddenly spoke:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, old man."

Don't worry, we won't stay long.

We are fully aware that our intrusion has caused you a lot of trouble, and we feel truly ashamed.

We just wanted to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate. Once we've regained our energy, we'll leave immediately and won't take up too much of your time.

Yun Suisi's words were calm and sincere, and his eyes revealed determination and gratitude.

As he spoke, he gently tugged at Yun Rancang's hand, seemingly trying to soothe her nervousness.

Yun Rancang nodded slightly. Although he was still uneasy, he relaxed a little when he saw Yun Suisi's calmness.

Jun Lique and Li Qinglan exchanged a glance and tacitly agreed to Yun Suisi's decision.

The old man still had that seemingly enthusiastic smile on his face.

He treated the younger generation of his family with the same warmth and affection, but his enthusiasm felt somewhat unnatural, as if it were a deliberate attempt to please them.

"Go and rest for a while, I'll go prepare some food."

"Come on, let me assign you your accommodations first."

His voice echoed in the silent air, carrying an eerie resonance.

As he spoke, the old man led the four of them slowly toward the back of the house.

Throughout the journey, the old man kept talking, his words full of concern.

"Oh dear, you must be exhausted after walking for so long."

Once we get there, we'll relax and have some fun.

The food I've prepared for you is a local specialty from our village; I guarantee you'll be completely satisfied.

His eyes gleamed with excitement, as if it were a great honor for him to serve these four.

Jun Li Que seemed to be curious about everything, asking all sorts of questions, yet every question he asked seemed to be a probe into something.

He transferred to:

"Old man, when we entered the village just now, there were houses and roads along the way, but why were there no people inside?"

The old man smiled broadly, his smile unchanged.

"Everyone is busy with their own things; maybe those few families have gone on a long trip."

The old man's answer was understated, yet it felt somewhat perfunctory.

Jun Li Que did not stop there; he continued to press for answers:

"Really? Then, sir, is your house big enough for the four of us? Maybe we should just forget about it."

Jun Li Que's tone carried a hint of worry as he scanned the surroundings, as if searching for any signs of danger.

The old man answered without hesitation, "Enough, of course it's enough."

I am the village chief, and my house is the biggest; it's definitely big enough for all of you.

Don't worry, kids, you'll feel right at home here.

I will definitely take good care of you.

The old man's voice was full of confidence, yet this confidence made one feel inexplicably uneasy.

As they spoke, they arrived at the backyard. A musty, old smell permeated the backyard, as if no one had been there for a long time.

On the overgrown ground, some strange marks could be faintly seen, as if something had crawled here.

The surrounding houses looked dilapidated and gloomy, with their windows tightly closed, as if hiding some unspeakable secret.

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly began to speak:

"Each of the three gentlemen has a room, and this young lady..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Yun Suisi suddenly interrupted him in a slightly offensive manner.

A barely perceptible hint of wariness flashed in Yun Suisi's eyes, his voice steady yet carrying a touch of force:

"Old man, Ran Cang and Li Que are a couple. Naturally, young lovers should share a room, so they won't separate."

As for Qinglan and me, we were roommates in college and got used to living together, so we didn't live separately anymore.

what do you say? "
