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

At that moment, the smile on the old man's face seemed to freeze instantly, solidifying for a split second.

A chilling glint flashed in his eyes.

"Ah, this... I see..."

His voice was somewhat dry, as if it were being squeezed out with difficulty from deep in his throat.

Just then, Jun Lique quickly chimed in, "Yes, old man, Ran Cang and I are indeed a couple, and we don't want to separate."

Jun Li Que's eyes were firm as he tightly grasped Yun Ran Cang's hand, as if to show the old man their determination.

Li Qinglan then added, "That's right, old man. Sui Si and I have been living together since college, so we're used to it. Living separately would make us feel uncomfortable."

Li Qinglan's gaze was open and her tone sincere.

Yun Suisi stared intently at the old man and emphasized again:

"Of course it's true, sir. You're such a kind person, you'll definitely agree, won't you?"

Yun Suisi's words seemed to carry an invisible pressure that made it impossible for anyone to refuse.

The old man remained silent for a moment, the eerie silence seeming to devour one's soul.

Finally, he slowly spoke, "...That...that's for sure."

Under the old man's arrangement, everyone went into their respective rooms.

After Yun Rancang and Jun Lique entered the room, their unease did not diminish in the slightest.

The room had an old and worn-out feel, and the furniture looked very old and dilapidated.

Just then, a strange sound came from outside, like someone walking slowly, with heavy and dragging footsteps.

Their hearts leaped into their throats. They listened intently as the sound grew closer, as if the shadow of death were drawing ever nearer.

Yun Rancang and Jun Lique exchanged a tense glance. Jun Lique quietly walked to the door and looked out through the crack.

However, the footsteps stopped in front of their door, and after a moment, they slowly moved away.

Yun Rancang nervously gestured: "That old man is gone?"

Her eyes were filled with doubt and worry.

Jun Li Que nodded slightly, his expression still very serious. He knew that things were far from simple.

Yun Rancang bit her lip and said:

"Should we go find my brother and ask him what to do next?"

Her voice was soft, but it conveyed a sense of determination.

Jun Li Que pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright."

So they carefully opened the door and walked toward Yun Suisi's room.

When they arrived at Yun Suisi's door, Yun Rancang gently knocked on the door.

The knocking sounded particularly abrupt in the silence, and they waited anxiously for a response.

After a while, Yun Suisi's deep voice came from inside the door:

"Who?"

Yun Rancang lowered his voice and replied, "Brother, it was me and Li Que."

Yun Suisi opened the door and let the two in.

Yun Rancang's face was full of excitement. She stared intently at Yun Suisi and said eagerly:

"Brother, this place is strange in every way."

From the moment we entered the village, the atmosphere felt eerily unsettling.

Not seeing a single person along the way was bad enough, but the appearance of that old man was even more baffling.

He would question us with suspicion one moment, and then become overly enthusiastic, inviting us to dinner and arranging accommodations the next.

This is all so abnormal. What should we do next?

Yun Suisi frowned slightly, his eyes revealing contemplation and caution.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said:

“This place is indeed strange in many ways, but we must not panic.”

We shouldn't actually eat dinner tonight; we need to stay vigilant.

In the evening, we went to the center of the village to take a look and see what was going on.

Let's find out what secrets this village holds and why it's so eerie.

Perhaps we can find some clues and figure out a way to leave this place as soon as possible.

However, you must be careful and not act rashly. If you discover any danger, retreat immediately.

Everyone nodded in agreement with Yun Suisi's plan.

As time went by, the sky gradually darkened.

A sense of oppression enveloped the entire room, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching them from the shadows.

"Kids, come and eat!"

The sound seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet and eerie atmosphere.

Everyone tensed up, exchanging wary glances.

Along the way, everyone's steps were exceptionally heavy, as if each step was treading on unknown fears.

As they drew closer, the old man came into view.

He stood in front of a house, his face still bearing that seemingly warm smile.

However, in the dim light, the smile appeared even more sinister and terrifying.

"Come on, come on, the food is ready." The old man said, waving them over.

Yun Suisi remained expressionless, then gave the others a wink, signaling them to be careful.

Upon entering the house, a worn-out table was covered with food.

The food looked ordinary, but in this eerie environment, it made people hesitant to touch it.

The old man warmly invited them to sit down, saying, "Don't be shy, come and eat."

His gaze swept over the crowd, as if observing their reactions.

Yun Rancang forced a smile and said:

"Grandpa, thank you so much for your trouble."

You're so kind; it makes us all a little embarrassed.

The old man waved his hand and said:

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You are guests here, and as your elder, I naturally want to treat you well."

Li Qinglan chimed in, "Yes, you're such a kind old man."

However, we feel bad about accepting your hospitality for nothing. We'll definitely repay you properly when we get back.

The old man smiled and said, "No need for repayment, just enjoy your meal."

Come on, try these dishes; they're all local specialties from our village.

The old man looked at everyone with a beaming smile and said:

"You guys eat. There are still some dishes in the kitchen; I'll go get them."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the kitchen.

The slightly hunched figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, but the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

During the brief time the old man was away, everyone tacitly pretended to eat.

They gently picked up their chopsticks, seemingly casually picked up some food, and then slowly put it into their mouths, making chewing motions.

But in reality, they were all very careful to avoid letting the food actually go down their throats.

Yun Rancang picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks, sniffed it gently, and said, seemingly enjoying it:

"Brother, this dish smells really good."

But for some reason, it reminded me of a flower we saw by the roadside when we visited that ancient town last time.

The flowers smelled wonderful, but the tour guide said you shouldn't smell them too much, as it can make you feel a little dizzy.

As Yun Rancang spoke, his fingers unconsciously rubbed the chopsticks lightly, and his eyes kept glancing towards the door, as if he was worried that the old man might come back at any moment.

Yun Suisi nodded slightly, then said naturally:

“Yeah, indeed.

But this dish actually tastes pretty good.

We'll follow the old man's instructions and see what happens.

If someone invites us to dinner, we should do our best to help them out.

Be smart, everyone, don't make things worse.

Yun Suisi's gaze swept across everyone's faces, his eyes revealing both determination and vigilance.

He straightened his back slightly, as if ready to deal with any unexpected situation.
