Continue Singing

Feeling that something was wrong, Li Huowang in the backstage had a serious expression. He immediately put away the Heavenly Book in his hand, pulled open the backstage curtain, and looked outside.

As a result, he found that whether it was the actors on the stage or the musicians beside them, their expressions were frozen in fear, shivering.

His gaze turned towards the front of the stage, and the pupils in his eyes instantly shrank to the smallest size. He saw the double-faced Small Feet Woman he had encountered in the forest that day, now sitting on a stool below the stage, crossing her legs and watching the play with those black memorial tablets.

"This thing actually followed us, could it be that it's stuck to us?"

"Don't stop, keep singing." Li Huowang pulled over a wooden stool and placed it directly under the stage, sitting there with a commanding presence, staring at the Small Feet Woman.

Li Huowang's back gave the Lu family courage. They swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and the sound of the suona and the opera started again.

The Small Feet Woman's gaze remained fixed on the stage, not paying any attention to Li Huowang's hostility, as if her purpose this time was really to listen to the opera.

"If the enemy doesn't move, I don't move. I don't believe it, once it's daytime, this thing can still stay."

That's what Li Huowang thought and that's what he did. He would avoid using his three months of lifespan as much as possible.

A faint mist began to rise from the ground in the Ancestral Hall, and the atmosphere gradually became oppressive.

Suddenly, the Small Feet Woman began to move. She slowly stretched out her chubby right hand, grabbed two red candles from the plate, and began to chew them in her mouth.

She ate very quickly, and before long, the Treasure Candles on the Eight Immortals table beside her were all eaten up.

Immediately afterward, the opera singing suddenly stopped again, and Lu Xiucai, who was playing the young male lead on the stage, was so frightened that he cried out.

The paper figures placed between the Eight Immortals tables by the Hu family began to move without warning. Wearing black watermelon hats and bright red rouge on their faces, they reached out from other tables to take the plates containing red Treasure Candles and floated them in front of the Small Feet Woman.

"Hee hee hee~" The Small Feet Woman suddenly let out an extremely terrifying, high-pitched, and thin laughter, causing everyone in the Lu Family Troupe to tremble violently.

"Don't stop! Keep singing!" Li Huowang's roar exploded in the silent Ancestral Hall, dispelling the fear in everyone's hearts.

"Sing~ ah~~!" Lu Zhuangyuan, dressed as an old man, shouted, and the music started again, even brighter than before.

Everyone sang with all their might, as if to shout out the fear in their hearts completely. They sang with bulging veins and sweat all over their faces.

This time, the Small Feet Woman stopped laughing, instead staring at Li Huowang with a gloomy face. Not only her, but all the paper figures made the same gesture.

Li Huowang didn't care and continued to stare back.

The third watch passed in this strange atmosphere, and the fourth watch began. The Lu Family Troupe, who were singing very hard on the stage, were almost hoarse, but they didn't dare to stop at all.

"Is it still going to wear me down? How long is this thing going to wear me down?" Li Huowang thought to himself.

Just as he was hesitating whether to simply spend three months of his lifespan to ask Lord You to deal with this woman completely, the situation changed again. All the memorial tablets under the stage began to tremble inexplicably.

"Da da da da~" The sound of the memorial tablets tapping on the Eight Immortals table was like the sound of raindrops hitting the ground, continuous and endless.

This time, the Lu family completely couldn't hold on anymore. One was already unbearable, and now they were all coming!

Seeing this scene, the Small Feet Woman began to laugh, and she laughed exceptionally happily. The extremely thin laughter pierced Li Huowang's ears.

However, looking at the Small Feet Woman in front of him, Li Huowang's mouth turned up and he smiled softly. "I seem to understand what's going on. Your actions these few times seem to want them to fear you."

"If you don't have this kind of morbid interest like a human, then I can only guess one thing, your food is not those candles, but the emotions of fear that arise in their hearts, right?"

When Li Huowang saw the Small Feet Woman suddenly stand up and glare at him with extreme viciousness, he knew he must have guessed correctly.

"Lu Ban Master, don't stop, keep singing. Didn't Lord Hu say that his ancestors want to hear something more cheerful? If you're afraid that the wind is too strong and it'll hurt your eyes, just close them and keep singing."

"Hee hee hee, tell me, do I look like a human or a god?" Seeing her plan completely ruined, the Small Feet Woman stood up with a grimace, swaying her body as she approached Li Huowang.

"I think you look like a dumbass turned spirit!" With a clang, Li Huowang drew his sword from his back with one hand and charged towards the woman.

After understanding the purpose of this thing, Li Huowang instantly dispelled his concerns. This thing pretending to be a ghost was far less powerful than he had imagined.

He was just scared before.

In a few steps, the two sides came into contact. Li Huowang swung his sword and slashed.

A cold light flashed, and the woman was split in two. The red Treasure Candle that had been cut in half fell from her stomach.

The upper half of the woman's body in the air quickly moved behind Li Huowang, about to touch his back.

But when those pale fingers were still a considerable distance from Li Huowang's back, they retracted as if they had been burned.

"Oh?" When Li Huowang keenly noticed this, he was immediately overjoyed. This thing was afraid of the Heavenly Book!

Li Huowang threw away the Longsword in his hand, directly took out the Heavenly Book, and swung it in a circle, directly slapping it towards the Small Feet Woman's face.

Faced with the approach of the Heavenly Book, the Small Feet Woman showed fear and turned to run away.

At this time, the situation between the two sides instantly reversed, and it became Li Huowang holding the Heavenly Book, making the other party fear him.

Inside the Hu Family Ancestral Hall, Li Huowang circled around with the Small Feet Woman for a while.

But despite her small feet, she ran very fast. After chasing for a long time, he couldn't touch her at all.

Li Huowang, panting heavily, looked at the Small Feet Woman across the table. This wouldn't do. He wondered if he could drive her away.

"Get out! Did you hear me? Don't let me see you again!"

The Small Feet Woman glared at him with vicious eyes, then swayed her body and shrank into the darkness in the corner.

When Li Huowang approached the corner with a lantern, he found that there was nothing there anymore.

Lu Zhuangyuan picked up the sword that Li Huowang had thrown on the ground, trotted over, and presented it to Li Huowang with both hands.

Li Huowang grabbed the hilt and inserted it back into his back. He saw Lu Zhuangyuan's face full of smiles, ingratiatingly saying to him: "Hee hee hee, tell me, do I look like a human or a god?"

Li Huowang's heart shook. That's not right! The opera singing hasn't stopped! This Lu Zhuangyuan is fake!

Just as he reacted, the Lu Zhuangyuan in front of him pounced over, his pale hands directly passing through Li Huowang's body.

In an instant, he felt a bone-chilling cold all over, and his emotions began to decline continuously, and everything around him fell into darkness.
