Chapter 88 Wen Yantong’s Ghost Story (2)

"AHH!!" Mu Yang screamed. In the next moment, he subconsciously kicked Wen Yantong's shoulder, turning her over.

Wen Yantong rolled onto Chi Jingxi. Her head slammed onto his chest, and she knocked Chi Jingxi down on the ground along with her.

She was stunned for a moment, but once she realized what had just occurred, Wen Yantong became terrified. Afraid of offending Chi Jingxi, she immediately got up from Chi Jingxi. She quickly grabbed her quilt, covered Mu Yang's head with it, and hit him on the back with her fist. She said angrily, "I shouldn't have let you in! You interrupted me, scared me, and kicked me!"

Wen Yantong's fists were not heavy. And since there was a quilt in between them, Mu Yang felt nothing at all. But Mu Yang was terrified by her story at the moment. He hugged Fu Zixian's waist desperately as he screamed over and over again, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

Seeing this, Fu Zixian and Zhang Jieran rushed to stop her. Cheng Xin also hurriedly helped Chi Jingxi up. Only Cheng Xiao was still sitting in a daze, as if deep in thought, so the scene became chaotic for a while.

Zhang Jieran, a weak scholar, couldn't hold back Wen Yantong at all. In the end, Chi Jingxi made a move and grabbed Wen Yantong by her back collar. When he pulled her off, Wen Yantong was still trying to kick Mu Yang.

Chi Jingxi asked with suspicion, "Are you avenging your past grudges too?"

When Wen Yantong heard Chi Jingxi's voice, she immediately stopped. When she turned her head, her expression had already changed to a smile. "Little Marquis, you didn’t get hurt just now, right? So sorry. Mu Yang kicked me so suddenly, so I couldn’t even react in time."

Seeing her flattering appearance, Chi Jingxi said, "It’s fine. I don't blame you. Don't act like this."

Wen Yantong grinned and sat down again. Mu Yang sniffed his nose dully, showing a look of emptiness.

Cheng Xin waved his hand in front of Mu Yang’s face. "Brother, did you lose your brain from fright?"

When Wen Yantong saw him like this, she quickly patted him on the shoulder. "No way, right? This story was made up. It's not true at all. How did you become like this from fright?"

Mu Yang was stunned. He asked in doubt, "Wasn’t this your great-grandfather’s story?"

"That's just part of the story. I don't even know what my great-grandfather looks like, so how could he have told me a story?" Wen Yantong replied.

When Mu Yang heard it was a fake story, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I just knew this story can’t be true..."

Wen Yantong laughed but didn't make fun of him again. She then heard Cheng Xiao ask, "Wasn’t it said that evil spirits can't bend? How did she find the xuicai in the end?"

Wen Yantong smiled but did not explain. Instead, she asked Chi Jingxi, "Does the Little Marquis know?"

Chi Jingxi answered calmly, "It's because when the woman was pushed off the cliff, her head hit the ground first, bending her neck toward her back. As such, she had to walk backwards with her face upside-down. Therefore, she didn't have to bend to find the xuicai."

Wen Yantong smiled and clapped her hands, immediately praising him, "Little Marquis is so smart!"

"So what was the xuicai’s end?" Cheng Xin asked.

"The xuicai naturally died. He did an evil deed, so how could he have a good ending?" Wen Yantong said.

Cheng Xin sighed after hearing this, "It really is just a story."

Everyone else also sighed, all sharing different thoughts.

Wen Yantong fiddled with her fingers for a bit. When she could no longer stand the silence, she asked, "Haven't you guys heard any stories? Share it with everyone."

As a result, everyone shook their heads one by one.

Wen Yantong sighed. These poor fellas never had a childhood.

She said, "Then let me tell you another story. A less scary one."

No one raised any objections. Cheng Xiao even showed his enthusiasm as he urged. "Quickly tell us!"

Mu Yang was a little worried. "Are you sure it's not that scary?"

"Yes!" Wen Yantong patted her chest and said reassuringly, "Don't worry. I won't lie to you!"

Wen Yantong decided to take out a story from her own secret stash.

She began with a typical start. "On a holiday, a few classmates and friends were sitting together in their house drinking and having fun. In the midst of their fun, there was a knock on the door."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!—" There was a knock on their door. It interrupted Wen Yantong’s storytelling at the perfect time.

Everyone was stunned as they all turned to look at the door.

"Who is it?" Wen Yantong raised her voice and asked.

However, there was no response from outside the room. Even after waiting, only the knocking on the door sounded again.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!—"

This situation was very strange.

There were guards guarding the door, so if anyone came, the guards would announce it on their behalf. However, the person outside knocked on the door without making any other sound. It was obvious that it was not one of the guards.

When Wen Yantong realized this, Chi Jingxi and Cheng Xin had already started standing up. Mu Yang was still engrossed in the story just now, so he lacked his usual vigor and courage. He shrank his neck and pushed Fu Zixian, "Go and look outside for me..."

Wen Yantong also stood up.

The author has something to say: 

Wen Yantong: Which rascal only knocks on the door but doesn't make a sound?

I chose a ghost story that everyone should have read on the Internet. So it shouldn't be too scary.
