A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 55

"Let's go."

Lin Feifei, carrying a lantern, went in first.

.

A chill was in the air, making the courtyard even more desolate and deserted. The leaves underfoot made a loud rustling sound.

The well remained sitting there quietly.

The southeast corner of the courtyard was rather dark, the ground was damp, and there was some light green grass growing on it, which had even spread to the edge of the well. It was clear that no one usually took care of it.

The well walls were not smooth and were covered with green moss. Touching them, one could feel a coolness, and it seemed as if several streams of air were churning inside. Lin Feifei raised the lantern and shone it down, but she still couldn't see clearly.

"As far back as I can remember, this well has been abandoned and useless," Zhan Qiuyu said, peering into the well. "How is it?"

"It seems like nothing, I can't see clearly."

Lin Feifei touched the black amethyst on her chest and found no reaction. Somewhat unwilling, she simply took it off and waved it over the well, but still no reaction.

It seems she was wrong this time, and she was somewhat discouraged.

Zhan Qiuyu looked at the dark purple stone with curiosity: "What is that?"

“It’s a treasure,” Lin Feifei said, putting the amethyst back around her neck. “My master gave it to me. It will glow if there are ghosts or monsters around.”

“So there are such strange things in the world,” Zhan Qiuyu nodded, then looked at the well again. “It seems there are no ghosts or monsters here.”

Lin Feifei turned around dejectedly: "Let's go back first."

Zhan Qiuyu took the lantern and comforted her instead: "It's alright, we can investigate slowly tomorrow."

.

Once outside the courtyard, the two servants were indeed nowhere to be seen. It seemed everyone was quite frightened by what had happened. Zhan Qiuyu frowned and shook her head as she walked.

After walking for a while, he finally couldn't help but get a little angry.

“These people must have gone to see Father; they’re becoming increasingly unruly! Take this courtyard, for example. Even though Seventh Madam has passed away, they’re still too lazy to clean it. If I hadn’t brought you here the other day, I wouldn’t have known…”

Just as Lin Feifei was about to speak, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, a familiar chill surged up, and the Xuanzi Stone suddenly emitted a strong purple light!

wrong!

She immediately tugged at Zhan Qiuyu beside her.

Zhan Qiuyu stopped in her tracks, puzzled. "What's wrong?"

"etc……"

It's here again? Lin Feifei tensed up and quickly looked around, but found that there was no movement and no one around. So why was the Xuanzi Stone glowing?

Touching the amethyst stone, she could clearly feel that familiar heat. What was going on? Puzzled, she looked up at Zhan Qiuyu, and what she saw immediately horrified her—

A horrific scene.

Transmigrating Through a Dream of Liaozhai: Chapter Twenty-Six - The Not-So-Ugly Ghost

Two hands, pale.

Her ten fingers were slender and clean, like a woman's hands. However, the nails on her hands seemed to have been dyed, long and sharp, with a bewitching and eerie light.

Trembling, writhing...

It slowly crawled out from behind Zhan Qiuyu's neck, as if it had always been there.

Half of that handsome face had become blurred, thick black energy flowing across it. Zhan Qiuyu, however, continued to mutter to himself, "It's time to deal with him properly. In a couple of days I will definitely..."

He was completely unaware!

Lin Feifei finally came to her senses. Luckily, she hadn't revealed herself, or she would have definitely fainted.

Unexpectedly, he was possessed again! Without thinking, she hastily pulled out a talisman, muttered a few incantations, and threw it directly at the two hands.

Something unexpected happened.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept up, carrying the faint sound of a woman's mournful cries. The talisman burst into flames out of thin air, turning to ashes in an instant, which were scattered by the wind.

Lin Feifei was dumbfounded, filled with immense fear.

Two pale, withered hands had completely climbed out from Zhan Qiuyu's shoulders, waving their arms and slowly reaching out to grab Lin Feifei, as if to strangle her.

Oh my god!

Lin Feifei finally realized what was happening. In a moment of quick thinking, she took out all the talismans from her bosom and threw them out while chanting a spell. Then she turned and ran away.

As expected, Fu Duo also had an advantage; with a cry of pain, his hands retracted slightly.

"Senior brother, come save me! Ahhh—!" she cried out as she ran, her face pale.

Behind him.

Something seemed to tug at her collar; she turned to look—

A handsome face, yet with a sinister grin.

Above her head, two pale hands trembled like antennae. The icy fingers had already touched her neck, and instantly, goosebumps rose all over her body.
