The door was opened very slowly, and as it was opened, dust began to fall. Anyone who saw this scene would easily be able to tell that the dust had accumulated for many years. Because of the passage of time, all the dust had congealed together, and when it landed on the ground, it immediately broke into pieces. Many of the dust even turned into tiny particles, scattering high up into the air. Under the occasional breeze, they met the eyes of the monsoon and Melinda, who had to take another step back to avoid the dust.

At the same time, they also saw the person standing behind the door. It was an old man wearing a grey robe. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, and if one wasn't careful, it would be impossible to notice. His white hair was neatly combed back. The old man gave Ji Feng the feeling of being the leader of the gangsters on the beach in the thirties and forties.

Although Ji Feng could not see the old man's eyes, he still felt that all his secrets had been exposed. "Hello," he said. "My name is Bonan Winston, and this is my wife, Melinda. We got lost while we were out playing, and I don't know if we'll be able to get you through the night."

The moment she heard the old man's words, her body stiffened. Then, she hid the uneasiness on her face and smiled at the old man. Even though she wanted to deny it, the monsoon was making her look bad. However, she did not do so because she could understand why Ji Feng said so. If they were husband and wife, they wouldn't have to split up. He did not have to face the danger alone.

The old man stared at the two for more than ten seconds until the two of them started to feel a bit scared. Then he slowly nodded his head and moved half a step to the right.

At this time, the first thought in Ji Feng's mind was not to go in. With this thought, he immediately turned his head to look at Melinda, only to find that she was also looking at him. Although they hadn't been together for a long time, they had already formed a tacit understanding in the past few days. This tacit understanding seemed to become more natural as they continued to spend more and more time together. Thus, at this moment, they could all see the same thought in each other's eyes.

At the moment, they were hesitating to leave. People are curious. Just now, no matter how they looked at it, they couldn't tell that there was someone in this mansion. However, not long after this thought appeared in their minds, an old man appeared. Moreover, they discovered that the style of the old man's robe was not something that could be seen on the outside.

Despite the mystery of the manor and the sudden appearance of the old man, their curiosity did not prevent them from entering.

After the dust settled, Ji Feng led the way into the courtyard. As the old man, who had been standing to the side, walked ahead of the two of them.

At this time, Ji Feng spoke, "What is your name?"

"You may call me Sir Kuma, Komarr."

This was the first time the old man had spoken. Ji Feng felt that this old man called Kuma's voice was very erratic, as if he was about to be carried away by the wind. But there was only a flickering breeze in the yard.

Ji Feng turned his head to look at Melinda, only to find that she also turned to look at him. The corner of Ji Feng's mouth raised into an arc as he winked at her. Melinda's face instantly turned red and she no longer dared to look into Ji Feng's eyes. The two of them did not notice that their subtle movements had become more coordinated.

This place was filled with the unknown. Although Melinda was the Holy Maiden of the Radiant Church and had seen much of the world, she was still a woman. Despite the constant stench of the monsoon, she was close, because its presence gave her a sense of security.

Different from the outside, everything in the courtyard was being taken care of with utmost care. The flowers, green grass, and rare trees were all neatly trimmed. The path between the trees and flowers was paved with bluestone, and the limestone floor was spotless. The scene outside the courtyard was completely different. It was like a completely different world. Standing outside the courtyard, he had no idea that there would still be people inside.

The yard was very large, and it was only after more than twenty minutes of walking with Ser Komarr and Melinda that they reached the gate of the house. During this period of time, all the places they passed were filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It was really refreshing. The spiritual energy flowing through his body was several times denser than that on the prairie. Because all his meridians were opened, the nameless art of endless circulation also converted the spiritual energy entering his body from all the acupoints into zhen qi, traveling along his meridians to every corner of his body. As of this moment, Ji Feng felt as if the effects of the curse were weakening. Of course, Ji Feng knew that this was because there was an abundance of Spiritual Qi here. If he were to cultivate here, it would be twice the result with half the effort. The speed at which his zhenqi was increasing would definitely be visible to the naked eye.

Below the eaves was a wide corridor, the lower eaves were sufficient to block out the rain and snow. The pillars within the eaves were covered by green vines that covered almost all the carvings on the pillars. Only a corner of the pattern that was occasionally revealed through the cracks indicated that there were carvings on them.

Previously, apart from the time when Ji Feng was holding hands, Melinda had always tried her best to distance herself from him. However, the situation had changed after they had entered the courtyard. The distance between Melinda and Ji Feng was very close, so they had to walk hand in hand.

It was a row of houses, and there were at least thirty doors in the corridor. The door in the middle was the biggest, and the two tightly shut doors were black in color. It was unknown what material the doors were made of. Looking at the black door in front of him, Ji Feng felt as if the door could draw his gaze away, causing him to be unable to shift his gaze away. The feeling startled him, and he quickly closed his eyes, then opened them again. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was fixed on the wall by the door.

In the time it took to open and close his eyes, Ser Komarr had reached the door, placed his raised hands on the two doors, and pushed them silently open. The two doors didn't make any sound, which made Ji Feng feel weird. Apart from this, everything here was strange.

The space behind the door was very large. It could be said to be a room, but it seemed more like a great hall. There was nothing in the room. No one knew what material was used to make the floor. It was so polished that it could be used as a mirror. The walls were white and monotonous. There was not a single bit of decoration in the room.

That was why Ji Feng soon saw a small door on each corner. The small door was red in color. It was blood-red, and when paired with the surrounding white, it brought a lot of pressure to Ji Feng's heart. He was about to turn his head to see how she would react when he felt his left hand being held by a soft little hand.

When Monsoon turned his head, he saw that she wasn't looking at him, but there were some clues on her face, which was as red as her ears.

Once inside, Ser Komarr did not stop, but headed for the small door in the northwest corner of the house. At this time, Ji Feng couldn't help but to slow down. His intuition told him that this place was very strange. The house that he had initially thought to be empty didn't have anyone else present. Moreover, after entering, he found that there was only one person inside. The reason why he thought this was because he didn't feel any anger at all. Even old Kuma who was walking in front of them was the same. However, since he had already entered, he could only have the thought of settling in. Following the example of the black door, Ji Feng did not stare at the blood-red door.

Just when Ji Feng and Melinda thought that the old man would open the door, the old man did something that surprised them. He even lightly tapped on the door a few times with his right hand. When Kumar took his right hand away from the door, it opened soundlessly. A loli wearing a maid outfit appeared at the door.

The little maid's face still had a childish look. The main color of her clothes was black, but the collar and cuffs were inlaid with white. Even her apron looked the same.

Seeing Komarr at the door, the little maid immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Sir Komarr, what can I do for you?"

"Maggie, this is Mr. Bonan Winston and his wife. They are lost, and they are going to stay here for the night. Take them to the guest room."

"Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Winston, this way, please." As the little maid spoke, she turned around and closed the door before walking towards the other door.

The monsoon thanked Sir Komarr and pulled Maylaine after Maggie.

Just as they turned, they heard Sir Komarr's voice behind them. "Mr. Winston, please keep your curiosity to yourself. Don't go anywhere in the evening."

Ji Feng turned his head to show that he knew, only to find that there was nothing behind him but a snow-white wall and a blood-red door.

Melinda, who was holding Ji Feng's hand, noticed that his body had suddenly become stiff. She subconsciously raised her head to look at Ji Feng, and following his gaze, she also turned her head back. With this look, it immediately caused Melinda to be flabbergasted, followed by an inexplicable sense of fear.
