My Girlfriend is the Nether King

Chapter 280: 006 Mountain Wilderness Store


"Ah!"

Startled by Tang Jing's cry, Xie Xiaofeng, who still had a chip in his mouth, quickly turned his head to look ahead, only to see a Yin Soul in white clothes blocking the way. Instinctively, Xie Xiaofeng slammed on the brakes.

The urgent screeching of the tires broke the silence around them.

"Ouch!" Inside the van, Chen Hao's head banged against the back of the driver's seat. Fortunately, he was protected, and Ye Yu, cradled in his arms, was not hit.

Immediately, Ye Yuqiao broke free from Chen Hao's embrace, then raised her hand to caress the wound on Chen Hao's forehead, urgently asking, "Boyfriend, are you okay?"

After blinking his eyes, Chen Hao's vision, which had been seeing stars, finally cleared, and he grabbed Ye Yuqiao's hand, counter-asking, "Yuqiao, are you okay?"

The two looked at each other, shook their heads, then exchanged a faint smile.

Since they were wearing seat belts, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing, sitting in the front, were unscathed.

Although the van had knocked the Yin Soul flying, the soul was unaffected. Quickly, it floated back to the roadside beside the car.

It was an old Yin Soul, its pale cyan face covered with wrinkles.

Looking at the Yin Soul, Chen Hao couldn't help but speculate, "He wouldn't be asking us to pay a road toll, would he?"

"Damn ghost, today you've really hit the jackpot, all the passengers in the car are Onmyoji!" Xie Xiaofeng said angrily. With that, he unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and strode furiously toward the old ghost.

Tang Jing quickly rolled down the window, and gusts of bitter cold wind surged into the van. Feeling the tremble in Ye Yuqiao's palm, Chen Hao immediately opened his right arm to take Ye Yuqiao into his embrace.

"Old man, I'm going to get rid of you today!" Xie Xiaofeng roared as he approached the old ghost.

"Young man, please spare my life!" the old ghost begged for mercy, (saying,) "How wonderful that you can see me, you won't have to go up ahead and get killed now."

"Killed?" Xie Xiaofeng looked puzzled, "Old man, stop pretending to be kind-hearted. Didn't you just show up to cause us to have a car accident?"

The old ghost immediately put on a mournful face, bent over, and said, "Young man, I've been wronged! I grew up in a village nearby from a young age, and while I can't claim to be a saint, I can swear on my conscience that I've never done anything against my conscience in my whole life. You don't know, up ahead in the mountains, there's a wild game restaurant. To be exact, it's a haunted restaurant. During the day people can't see the restaurant, it's only visible at night!"

"There really is such a strange thing!"

"Yes!" the old ghost nodded earnestly in agreement, "The restaurant sells wild game, like wild boar, hare, and pheasant, and indeed, the taste is very delicious. However, not one person who has eaten there has ever come out alive. Around this time last year, my son and daughter-in-law from the city were coming to visit me. That day when they were close to home, my son called me, saying they'd stop at a wild game restaurant in the mountains for a meal before coming. But after that, they suddenly all disappeared!"

As he spoke, the old ghost's face was streaked with tears. The sounds of his pitiful crying mixed with the cold wind were truly chilling to the ear.

"Did your son die inside that wild restaurant?" Xie Xiaofeng asked.

"Yes!" the old ghost cried, nodding, "That night, after waiting a long time without seeing my son and his family return, I called him and my daughter-in-law, but they had both turned off their phones. At 9:30 at night, worried they might have encountered trouble, I and a few villagers rode motorcycles to find the restaurant's location my son had mentioned. However, when we got there, all we saw was a forest, with no sign of any wild game restaurant! We even searched along this road and still could not find it."

"Did you guys ask the villagers living nearby?" Xie Xiaofeng asked.

"There are graves all around, there's nobody living there!" the old ghost sighed.

At this moment, the side door of the minivan slid open, and Chen Hao, holding Ye Yuqiao's hand, stepped out and walked straight up to the old ghost's Yin Soul.

"Old timer, how did you find out about this restaurant later on?" Chen Hao asked the old ghost. He was filled with curiosity about the exotic game restaurant the old ghost had mentioned.

After a sigh, the old ghost told the three that he had gone to report to the police when he couldn't find his son and his family that night. Later, even until the old ghost died of depression six months ago, the police had not found the whereabouts of his son and his family.

After the old ghost died, because he had unresolved matters, he was unable to descend to the Netherworld and became a Wandering Soul. Not long after his death, the old ghost got to know about this exotic game restaurant from the gossip of other nearby wandering spirits.

Consequently, the old ghost found the restaurant and discovered that it would only appear after nightfall and would disappear during the day. Since two fierce dogs were placed at the entrance of the restaurant, the old ghost had never dared to get close. After observing for more than half a year, the old ghost noticed that anyone who entered the restaurant never came out again, and the cars parked at the door would also mysteriously disappear after the fog rose at night.

Since then, the old ghost waited on the mountain road, and whenever someone drove by after nightfall, he would show himself to block the road and try to tell people not to enter the restaurant. However, almost no one could see him, and each time he could only watch helplessly as passersby entered the restaurant to their deaths!

"Lads, I've said all I need to say, please don't go into that restaurant!" the old ghost said, furrowing his brow in distress.

"Haha!" Chen Hao laughed loudly, "It sounds delicious; seems like we definitely have to go there for a meal!"

After Chen Hao finished speaking, the old ghost continued to sigh and moan! Even as the minivan slowly drove away, the old ghost persisted in his warnings.

After driving in the night on the mountain road for nearly ten minutes, Chen Hao and his companions finally saw an exotic game restaurant by the roadside.

Two lanterns hung at the entrance of the restaurant, and a number of cars were parked on the empty space in front, making the place look bustling.

Xie Xiaofeng rolled down the window, and immediately, the aroma of barbecued meat wafted in.

"It smells so good!" Xie Xiaofeng couldn't help but exclaim, looking quite delighted.

The group activated their Yin Yang Eyes and saw that the seemingly luxurious restaurant was actually just a thatched hut; just like the old ghost had said, there were indeed two vicious dogs tied up at the door!

"Yuqiao, are you hungry?" Chen Hao asked.

Ye Yuqiao furrowed her brows and nodded her head, saying thoughtfully, "The smell doesn't seem like that of birds or beasts but human flesh!"

Upon hearing Ye Yuqiao's words, everyone else was taken aback and instantly lost all appetite.

"Would you like to come in and try it out?" At that moment, a woman with a graceful figure came out from inside the restaurant.

"The wild game from these mountains is something you can't even taste in the city!"

As the woman came closer, through their Yin Yang Eyes, the group saw that this woman was actually...
