Did you... see that??

At this moment, on Lin Guanhuo's side.

He was leaning against an old tree, eyes closed in deep concentration.

Young and spirited, he radiated an imposing righteousness.

Coupled with his mastery of saber technique, the wandering ghosts and spirits lurking in the darkness sensed this aura and dared not approach.

Nor were they affected by the Yin energy here.

However...

Not everyone could be as carefree as him.

Right now, Xu Dadao, sleeping beside him, turned over.

Suddenly jolted awake by a fierce urge to pee.

"Dammit... gotta piss."

Xu Dadao sat up groggily, feeling like his bladder was about to burst.

"Drank too much just now..." he muttered.

He glanced at the pitch-black woods around him, withered grass growing wild, some of it still dusted with snow.

Xu Dadao's heart crept with unease.

But the urge to pee was overwhelming, he couldn't hold it any longer.

Xu Dadao took a few steps over to a nearby patch of withered forest.

He undid his belt and relieved himself freely onto a clump of dead grass.

"Ahh~~ that's better."

As the pressure inside him released, Xu Dadao shivered.

He was about to pull up his pants and go back to sleep.

But just then.

"Young master..."

A soft female voice suddenly drifted out from the woods not far behind him.

Huh?

Hearing this, Xu Dadao's whole body stiffened, his hand freezing mid-motion as he pulled up his pants.

He suddenly remembered Chen Jianxing's warning!

If a woman's voice calls out to you, never look back!

"Hallucination! Definitely a hallucination!"

Xu Dadao's scalp crawled, he pretended not to hear and turned to head back.

"Boo-hoo... young master... save me..."

The voice turned tearful: "It's so dark here, I'm so scared... boo-hoo..."

The crying was soft and plaintive, enough to melt bones, like a wronged girl next door.

Xu Dadao's steps halted.

"You... are you human or ghost?!" Xu Dadao stopped, placing one hand on his saber, then said: "Don't think I don't know, you demons love tricking people with a woman's voice!"

As his words fell, the voice paused.

Then came a burst of sobbing: "Boo-hoo-hoo~~ I~~ I'm just lost~~"

"I'm not a demon~~~ boo-hoo~~~ I'm the hunter's daughter from this mountain~~"

"If young master saves little sister... little sister... would do anything for you~~"

The woman's voice was gentle, delicate, very pleasant to hear.

Xu Dadao hesitated.

He'd been single for decades, never touched a woman.

His greatest weakness in life was women, his biggest dream to find a wife.

Especially a woman whose voice made you want to cherish her.

"The hunter's daughter? Lost?"

Xu Dadao swallowed hard, his fear suppressed by a flicker of hope and lust.

Xu Dadao slowly turned his head.

He saw, a few meters away in the shadow of the trees, a woman with a seductive figure standing there.

"Um... miss?" Xu Dadao called out tentatively.

Under the moonlight, the woman had a lovely figure and a very beautiful face, leaning against a large tree.

The woman wiped her tears, looking like a pear blossom in the rain, pitiful and endearing: "Young master, you're a good man, won't you take me home?"

Xu Dadao stared at that face, completely frozen.

This younger sister was too beautiful.

In all of Blackwater County, where had he ever seen such a stunning beauty?

And how could this be the look of a female ghost? She was practically a living Bodhisattva!

"Alright! Alright! Big Brother will see you home!"

"Big Brother's name is Xu Dadao! Heh heh! My old man gave me this name, hoping I'd take up martial arts!"

Xu Dadao grinned, putting on a simple and reliable act, but inside his heart was already scratching like a cat had gotten hold of it.

The woman broke into a smile through her tears and turned to lead the way.

Xu Dadao followed behind, his gaze fixed on her slender waist and the swaying hem of her skirt.

But as he walked, Xu Dadao gradually felt something was off.

The mountain path was rough and uneven, littered with jagged rocks and dead branches. He stumbled along, one step deep, one step shallow, tripping and staggering.

Yet the woman walking ahead...

Her steps were too light.

So light it was as if she had no weight at all.

Her toes barely touched the ground, and beneath her skirt, he couldn't even see her heels land.

'This...'

At that moment, Xu Dadao's scalp suddenly went numb.

He stared at the woman ahead.

A terrifying thought surged into his mind.

He...

He felt like this woman was... like a paper doll.

Floating along, drifting without weight.

"Miss... slow down a bit, this road's hard to walk," Xu Dadao couldn't help calling out.

The woman didn't turn back, only let out a string of silver-bell laughter: "Young master, we're almost there. My home is just ahead."

The two walked a little longer.

Finally, they reached the woman's home.

There, not far ahead, stood a mansion.

Vermilion gates, high walls around a main courtyard, and two red lanterns hanging by the entrance.

In this pitch-black night, it looked somewhat eerie.

"This... how is there such a big mansion on this mountain?" Xu Dadao was baffled. He hadn't seen it when they came up.

"This is my home."

The woman pushed open the gate, turned back, and waved at him. "Young master, thank you for seeing me home."

"Oh my..."

As she spoke, she bent slightly.

The red gauze dress she wore slipped down a little, revealing skin like congealed fat and smooth jade.

The boudoir was dead silent.

A long moment passed.

Then that soft voice rose faintly again.

But this time, there was none of the earlier coquettishness; instead, it carried a chilling, deathly air: "Young master... what are you saying?"

"I've been... facing you the whole time."

Xu Dadao froze, then forced a dry laugh: "Miss, you sure know how to joke. That's the back of your head facing me right now. I can't see your face."

"You don't believe me?"

The woman's voice turned shrill and piercing: "Then I'll turn around and let you see..."

Before her words faded.

The woman sitting at the dressing table slowly, stiffly turned around.

In that instant, Xu Dadao's pupils dilated to their limit. His mouth gaped open, but not a sound escaped.

Because...

The "face" that turned toward him was still a head full of jet-black hair!

It was still the back of a head!

There were no facial features at all!

This woman... had a back on both sides!

"Hehehe... now, do you see?"

"Do you see!"

The woman's voice grew sharper and sharper!

Sharper and sharper!

"Do! You! See! Me!"

Xu Dadao was dumbfounded!

This is it!

Help!
