The bright moon in the sky began to shed its brilliance, and the Yin Wind started to blow.
The night grew deeper, and the cold mist rose without anyone noticing, dense and thick.
Gradually, the surroundings, which once could be seen clearly under the moonlight, became very blurry.
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Yang Yan suddenly blurted out.
"What's the matter? Yang, you've been congratulating me since you got here, what on earth are you congratulating me for?"
Li Shuai asked with a bit of concern.
"Li Shuai, you don't have a girlfriend yet, right?"
Yang Yan suddenly laughed.
"No, I don't." Li Shuai shook his head blankly, then quickly explained, "But there's someone I'm interested in. Speaking of which, Yang, what do you think of Xiaoping from the bar? I've always wanted to pursue her, but I don't have the guts."
Yang Yan could tell that Li Shuai was actually worried to death and was purposely shifting the topic to calm himself down.
"It's good that you don't. There's someone here who's taken a liking to you. What do you think?"
Yang Yan looked at the bright moon in the sky, speaking mysteriously.
"Here? Yang, stop joking around, what's here..."
Suddenly, Li Shuai realized and grabbed Yang Yan's arm, trembling as he said:
"Yang, don't scare me! Are you saying that someone here has taken a liking to me?"
Yang Yan rolled his eyes, teasingly saying:
"Yes! Who else did you think I was talking about? Don't worry, the one here is definitely a great beauty. So, are you not considering it? The opportunity won't last forever."
"Yang, stop joking. I'm a coward, really timid. If you keep scaring me, I'm going back, really."
Li Shuai swallowed hard, his voice trembling.
When he came here alone before, he was ignorant, unafraid.
But now, hearing that someone here has taken a liking to him, how could he not be afraid?
Let's not forget, the one here is not human!
"I'm not joking with you. The one here does have their eyes on you. Do you see the moon in the sky?"
Yang Yan said calmly.
After hearing his words, Li Shuai noticed that, even though everything was shrouded in dense fog, the moon in the sky was still bright.
"What's going on? The moon seems strange, it's so bright it's unsettling..."
Looking at the moon above, Li Shuai said nervously.
"The bright moon shines, the restless ghost wanders in the wind, a female ghost seeks her loved one, and coincidentally, she's taken a liking to you."
Yang Yan said softly, the smile on his face growing even brighter.
"No way, what's so special about me that caught her eye?"
Li Shuai was already on the verge of tears.
"Hahaha! Having even a female ghost taken a liking to you and wanting you to be her groom, do you know how impressive that is? That's something you can brag about for a lifetime, you know?"
Yang Yan became more enthusiastic as he spoke.
"Yang, this is not funny at all, what should I do now? I don't want to die like this, unclear and unjust!"
Li Shuai's psychological defenses completely collapsed, he said with a sobbing tone.
"Enough, just invite the other party to have a talk, then you'll know."
Seeing that Li Shuai was about to cry, Yang Yan decided not to tease him further.
Then, Yang Yan shouted loudly towards a nearby willow tree:
"Since you're here, come out and meet us. There must be a solution to this, and I'm sure you don't want to keep hanging around like this!"
As Yang Yan's voice fell, a figure slowly emerged from beside a willow tree, soon becoming indistinguishable from a regular person.
"Let's go, the main character has appeared. We'll go have a good chat."
Yang Yan turned his head and said to Li Shuai, who was hiding behind him.
"Yang, I... Can I not go? My heart is racing, and it's like my feet are filled with lead, I can't move."
Li Shuai said tremblingly.
Before seeing her, he wanted to meet, but now that she's really here, he's realized just how scared he is.
"A girl is brave enough to come out, what are you, a big man, afraid of? Come on, let's go!"
With that, Yang Yan walked towards the figure.
Seeing Yang Yan already going over, Li Shuai hesitated no more, despite his shaking legs, and followed Yang Yan.
Standing in front of the female ghost, Yang Yan curiously glanced at her.
Indeed, she was a peerless beauty.
She looked about twenty, judging by her clothing, she hadn't been dead long.
"This shouldn't be right, you haven't been dead long, how can you already manifest and even come looking for a man?"
Yang Yan asked directly.
"Due to certain special reasons, I can manifest. May I ask your name?"
The female ghost looked at Yang Yan, asking with curiosity.
"Yang Yan, this is Li Shuai, what's your name?"
Yang Yan asked.
"My name is You Meng, Leng Youmeng."
The female ghost said.
"Alright, Miss You Meng, what do you want now? You must know, there's a separation between humans and ghosts, you two are impossible. Moreover, look at him, he's scared to death, it's even less possible."
Yang Yan said with a smile.
"I know."
Leng Youmeng said softly.
Now it was Yang Yan's turn to be surprised.
This female ghost named Leng Youmeng was this easy to talk to?
That's strange indeed.
According to the normal plot, shouldn't she claim she truly loves him?
"Well... since you know, then we won't disturb you further."
Yang Yan said awkwardly.
"Wait! I understand humans and ghosts are separate paths, but I've traveled this entire shadowy road for a blessing from the moon, shouldn't there be some reward for that, wouldn't you agree?"
Leng Youmeng said calmly.
After hearing her words, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown.
He knew that the female ghost wasn't lying.
A female ghost praying to the moonlight, walking the shadowy road, is a type of ritual.
It sounds simple, but carrying it out is incredibly difficult.
It's like someone kowtowing all the way from the Imperial Capital to Tibet Province, an extremely devout and challenging process.
"What kind of reward do you want? Reincarnation, increased power, or something else?"
Yang Yan put away his smile, speaking very seriously.
"I want none of those."
Leng Youmeng shook her head.
"Then what do you want?"
Hearing Leng Youmeng's words, Yang Yan frowned, asking.
"I want you."
Leng Youmeng said seriously, looking at Yang Yan.
"Ah..."
Hearing Leng Youmeng's words, not only Yang Yan, but even Li Shuai was stunned.
"What? What did you say you want?"
Yang Yan thought he heard wrong, looked at Leng Youmeng uncertainly, and asked again.
"I said I want you, I said I want you, I said I want you."
Important things must be said three times, Leng Youmeng, being a young ghost who hadn't been dead long, surely fit the style of young people these days.
