Chapter 554
After they took a few steps back, Ling Yanyan made a hand seal with his fingers, then took out a leaf and wiped it on his eyes.
The next second, when I opened my eyes, the inn was in front of me, but it was in a completely different state than before.
If the inn before was a normal inn, the inn now is filled with a sinister aura, eerie and clearly not normal.
There is absolutely no trace of living people here.
It felt as if shrouded in gloom, sending a chill down one's spine.
"This place... is truly quite unusual." Ling Yan Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of apprehension flashing in them.
"What exactly is going on?" Yan Chixia was an impatient person, so he asked first.
To avoid being overheard, Ling Yanyan lowered his voice and said to them, "This place is eerie and completely different from a normal inn. It's as if it doesn't belong to the mortal world. We shouldn't stay any longer and should leave quickly."
Finally, he came to this conclusion, and Yan Chixia immediately nodded to him secretly, clearly believing his words.
Nie Xiaoqian spoke up at this moment: "I also have this uncomfortable feeling, but I don't know how to describe it. Fortunately, you have the ability to see ghosts, so you should be able to see things that ordinary people can't. Young master, let's leave here quickly."
Just as the two people and the ghost were about to leave, a sinister voice suddenly came from behind them: "Young masters, where are you headed? Are you planning to stay overnight? You've come to the right place. We have everything you need here, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"
Upon hearing that somewhat sinister voice, Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia exchanged a glance; clearly, the voice made them both uncomfortable.
However, their expressions were very subtle and did not reveal anything.
Since we don't know much about this inn yet, it's best to be cautious.
Ling Yanyan turned around and saw a rather strange-looking waiter who had appeared out of nowhere, smiling at them.
There was no one there just a moment ago, but a waiter appeared as they were leaving.
The waiter's appearance was also very strange. It wasn't that he was ugly, but although he had human features, the expressions he made were very bizarre.
It's neither a laugh nor a cry.
Similarly, it doesn't look like a living person at all; it seems very stiff.
Seeing this, Ling Yanyan's heart sank, and his vigilance towards this place deepened.
"We're just passing through, and we have some other things to buy, so we'll leave now." Ling Yanyan made up an excuse, but in reality, she planned to leave.
But the waiter wouldn't let it go and kept pestering them to stay.
"Gentlemen, why are you walking so fast? Is there something you're unhappy with about our shop? You can tell me, and I'll run errands to get you whatever you need!" The waiter's attitude was rather forceful, as if he was determined to make them stay.
This attitude not only puzzled them, but also aroused their vigilance.
It's like... if they don't stay, who knows what tricks the waiter might pull?
Ling Yanyan sneered. He hated threats the most and never allowed himself to be threatened. This waiter had stepped on his sore spot.
He wasn't going to put up with the other party, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, what's so great about staying in your shabby shop? Look, look, there's nothing here, it's broken and dirty. And you, you have no sense of service at all. Sir, I have plenty of money, why would I spend it in your shabby shop!"
Ling Yanyan deliberately acted like a domineering old man, but in reality, he was trying to provoke the waiter.
He deliberately used a sarcastic tone to mock the other person and belittle him and the store.
Sure enough, the waiter's expression became more and more distorted... He was clearly enraged, and his expression was so distorted that it was somewhat frightening.
The next second, the waiter's body suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke. After the smoke disappeared, what appeared in front of them was no longer a waiter, but a real ghost.
The ghost, stained with resentment and rage, lunged straight at them.
"What a disgusting thing, it has finally revealed its true colors." Ling Yanyan sneered, and a flame condensed in his hand. He didn't even need Yan Chixia to lift a finger; he used this flame to extinguish the ghost.
Such a small ghost was no match for him. With just a touch of fire, his entire soul was burned away. He let out a miserable scream, and then there was no sound as his soul disappeared into the air.
“There’s absolutely no challenge.” Ling Yanyan touched his palm and came to this conclusion.
But the moment the ghost was destroyed, it alerted the Black Mountain Demon in the courtyard.
"What's that noise outside?" The Black Mountain Demon's voice was very hoarse, like the sound of sand rubbing together, which was very unpleasant to listen to.
Especially since he was completely wrapped in a black robe, obscuring his face, this appearance made him seem even more eerie and frightening.
Just then, a little ghost, having found out what was happening outside, came up to report: "One of our territories has been raided, and the ghost disguised as a waiter has also been killed. I just went to check, and it was Ling Yanyan and Yan Chixia."
