One Hundred Tales: one hundred white candles are lit, then everyone takes turns telling a strange and terrifying incident they have personally experienced. After each story, one candle is blown out. The hundredth story is told by the host, and when the final candle goes out, all those participating in the game are taken to hell, dragged through the Ghost Gate. Thus, it is considered a rather dangerous yokai in Japan.
Another was an exceptionally dignified beauty, with long snow-white hair, snow-white eyes, and a white kimono. She watched Zhao Fu with a gentle smile. She was the renowned yokai, the Snow Woman.
She was a traditional Japanese yokai, known to every household. Living deep in the mountains and resembling a human, she possessed a beautiful appearance. She often lured men entering snowy mountains to deserted places and kissed them. As she kissed them, she froze them completely, taking their souls to consume.
The Snow Woman's children were called Snow Children. In Japan, Snow Children were believed to be the yokai that brought winter's first snowfall. Snow Women were all peerless beauties, dressed in white kimonos with pale-blue long hair. Cold by nature, they served the mountain gods and governed the snows of winter.
Young Snow Women were harmless to people, but adult Snow Women would freeze forever the human men they loved, bring them back to the caves where they lived, and set them on display for their enjoyment.
One woman had an innocent face and a slender figure. Wearing a lace-trimmed kimono, she stood to one side and smiled sweetly at Zhao Fu. Her name was Bridge Princess.
Bridge Princess was a female demon that appeared by bridges—essentially a yokai that had been deified—a divine spirit belonging to both water demons and the Water Goddess.
