As they approached, they could clearly see that the small creature looked like a white fox, but it had two deer antlers on its back.
“What is this?” Gu Shiyan asked curiously.
“It’s a Chéng Huång, a little monster from the Shan Hai Jing. According to the book, if a person rides it, they can gain an extra two thousand years of life. Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor became an immortal because he used it as a mount,” Lu Miao explained in a low voice.
As if hearing their approach, the small creature twitched its ears, lazily opened its eyes, revealing beautiful golden eyes. It yawned widely, then stood up and approached them.
Gu Shiyan quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Miao. The Chéng Huång swiftly grew to half the size of a person in mid- air and silently landed on the ground before him. It lazily glanced at him and then bypassed him to approach Lu Miao.
Lu Miao reached out and rubbed its head, then took out two Starfall pills and placed them in front of it. “I need two passes.”
The Chéng Huång sniffed the pills, then opened its mouth and swallowed them both. It nuzzled her palm before leaping back to the tree, transforming back into the cute furry creature and swishing its tail. After a moment, it returned, holding two ancient copper coins in its mouth.
Lu Miao caught the coins in her hand and handed one to Gu Shiyan. He carefully examined it, and it looked similar to ordinary coins.
“This is not only a pass but also the key to enter and leave the enchantment. Make sure to keep it safe and not lose it, or else you won’t be able to leave when you come back,” Lu Miao advised as she led him towards the bridge.
Through the mist under the bridge, they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water. After crossing the bridge, a busy street appeared before their
Lanterns floated in the air, illuminating the entire street. On either side of the street, men with beer bellies had butterfly-like wings on their backs, tending to stalls selling delicious skewers, their enticing aroma wafting through the air.
Floating in mid-air, there were long-haired female ghosts, carrying large wooden basins in front of them. The basins were filled with giggling chubby little babies, playing and splashing in the water. When someone approached, the female ghost skillfully scooped a cup of bathwater and handed it over.
There were also young men with two heads and four hands selling trinkets. At the moment, each head was bargaining with a different customer.
On another stall, there was a huge shell. Inside the open shell sat a beautiful young woman next to a pearl the size of a soccer ball. She giggled flirtatiously while covering her face, her eyes full of charm.
The further they looked, the more fantastical it became. Gu Shiyan even saw several golden carps swimming in mid-air.
It felt like Lu Miao had brought him into a completely different, strange and wonderful new world.
“This is the Ghost Market, a market where all kinds of spirits and ghosts trade. You can exchange goods for other goods or buy directly, but not with regular currency from the human world,” Lu Miao explained as she took out a fist-sized pouch and handed it to him.
When Gu Shiyan opened the pouch, he saw it filled with a bag of translucent white jade-like items, the material of which he couldn’t discern.
He looked at Lu Miao and asked, “Is this for me?”
Lu Miao nodded confidently. “This is enough for you to buy the whole street.”
She had searched online and found that the simplest way to make someone happy was to shop.
It should work for both men and women.
Was she his sugarmummy now?
Gu Shiyan chuckled softly, “Alright, then I won’t be polite.”
“This place opens at midnight every day and closes at 5 in the morning. Before it closes, we must leave, or else we will be trapped here forever,” Lu Miao warned as she led him into the bustling street.
However, for some reason, as Gu Shiyan stepped onto the street, the previously lively market fell silent for an instant. All the people turned their heads to look at him.
Their eyes shimmered with a strange light, as if they were seeing a delicacy like the Tang Monk’s flesh.
Gu Shiyan thought they were looking at the money pouch in his hand and calmly put it in his pocket.
Lu Miao turned her head and glanced at Gu Shiyan. The purple aura on his body seemed to intensify upon entering this place, swirling around him.
At this moment, in the eyes of these spirits and ghosts, Gu Shiyan seemed even more alluring than the Tang Monk’s flesh.
A stunning beauty with nine tails dragging behind her approached them, laughing flirtatiously.
She walked up to Gu Shiyan and playfully raised her eyebrows, then sensually reached behind her and took one tail, lightly tapping it against Gu Shiyan, saying to Lu Miao, “This tail of mine can save your life in any dangerous situation. I’ll trade it for your precious item.”
“No deal,” Lu Miao refused without even looking at her, then turned to Gu Shiyan and said, “Stay close to me, don’t leave my side.” Gu Shiyan nodded and reached out to hold her hand.
Lu Miao’s body stiffened for a moment. “What are you doing?”
Gu Shiyan replied solemnly, ‘You said I should stay close to you and not leave your side. In this dangerous place, it’s safer if you hold my hand directly.”
His warm large hand tightly wrapped around hers, and the warm temperature was mixed with faint traces of purple aura that flowed into her body through their joined hands.
Feeling a bit uneasy, Lu Miao hesitated for a moment. But for safety’s sake, she decided not to pull her hand back and held onto Gu Shiyan as they walked towards the stall selling bathwater.
Gu Shiyan looked at the two cups of bathwater in front of them and smiled at the sight of chubby babies swimming in the basin. He didn’t know how to react.
Lu Miao took a sip and, seeing the indescribable expression on Gu Shiyan’s face, she quickly explained, “That’s Penglai Immortal Fruit and Rootless Water. For spirits, it benefits their cultivation, and for ordinary people, it purges impurities from the body.”
Gu Shiyan took a small sip and instantly felt a cool sensation flowing through his mouth and spreading throughout his body, reaching every pore. His whole body felt refreshed, and even his vision seemed clearer.
Hand in hand, they walked through the market as Lu Miao led Gu Shiyan to try various delicacies and buy a bunch of trinkets.
Gu Shiyan’s inner thoughts: “The joy of being taken care of for the first time-
