Chapter 2357: Definitely Not Normal
Even at first glance, the house didn’t look normal at all. It was covered with snow, yet flowers were blooming in its front yard.
“We’re not going there,” Ning Shu said to Yi Liang. “That house is definitely not normal.”
Yi Liang paused. It was easy to imagine why Yi Liang would be attracted to the house, considering where they found it.
When Yi Liang heard Ning Shu say that, he struggled with the thought of not going in.
Most importantly, he hadn’t eaten for a long time. His stomach was empty.
“Guests outside, you may come in.” A woman’s voice clearly came from inside the house.
“Xiao Hei, since we’ve already been invited in, why don’t we go in?” Yi Liang asked.
Before Ning Shu could respond, the voice inside already spoke again. “Come on in.”
Yi Liang carried Ning Shu towards the house. Ning Shu was tense and extremely vigilant.
She had reason to suspect that the owner of this house was a monster.
Yi Liang opened the door and saw a woman sitting at the table, dressed in white brocade clothes, holding a simple and elegant teacup with her beautiful jade fingers. White smoke was billowing from the teacup.
This woman had a face like a hibiscus, with bright eyes and white teeth. Her skin was fragrant and tender. She was extremely pretty.
The house looked like a thatched cottage from the outside, but inside it was a woman’s elegant boudoir.
As soon as they opened the door, they could smell a fragrant aroma. There was even incense lit in the room.
Seeing such a beautiful woman was a first for Yi Liang, so he became polite and quickly took two steps back.
The woman put down her teacup and looked at Yi Liang. “Come in, young man.”
The woman glanced at Ning Shu, who was still on Yi Liang’s shoulder, and her lips curved slightly, which only made her more attractive.
“Thank you.” Yi Liang walked into the room and instantly felt warmer. When he smelled the fragrance in the air, he became even more reserved in his behavior.
“Please excuse my intrusion.”
The woman stood up and said kindly, “It’s alright. Since I’m usually alone, I’m glad I finally have a guest.
“I’m Hong Ji.”
“I’m Yi Liang. This is Xiao Hei.” Yi Liang said, his stomach rumbling as he spoke.
Yi Liang’s face turned beet red.
Hong Ji was very understanding. “Sit down, I’ll go get you something to eat.”
“Thank you.” Yi Liang immediately smiled when he heard that there was something to eat.
Ning Shu stared at Hong Ji’s back. She felt that Hong Ji wasn’t a human being. She might be a monster in disguise. This entire place might even be just an illusion.
If a monster could transform into a human form, that indicated that it was quite powerful.
Hong Ji could probably see that Yi Liang and Ning Shu were very hungry, and thus prepared several dishes.
Ning Shu sniffed the food to see if it was poisoned. She then said to him, “Eat.”
Hong Ji looked at Ning Shu with an unreadable expression. However, she didn’t say anything. She just watched as Ning Shu and Yi Liang ate.
Yi Liang hadn’t eaten for a few days. Now that he had something to eat, he nearly devoured the food and swept it clean.
After eating and burping, seeing Hong Ji staring at him, he said embarrassedly, “Thank you for your hospitality.”
“I’m going to clean up your room, and you two can sleep here tonight,” Hong Ji said. “To be honest, I want to keep you guys around, mainly because it’s so lonely to live alone here. It feels good to have someone to chat with…”
“Thank you.” Yi Liang couldn’t help thanking her.
Hong Ji tidied up a small room with a simple bed, but Yi Liang felt like it was heaven. It was undoubtedly much better than a cave.
Ning Shu looked at Hong Ji with a flat expression. It was really strange for a woman to live in such a deep mountain.
Thus Ning Shu was suspecting that she was a monster.
Those who seemed so eager to offer help for no reason, if not bandits, then were thieves.
