"Let's leave first and observe the situation!" The four of them left the house, and Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang arrived at a small stall selling cosmetics, where they began to inquire with the Grandma selling the products.
"Excuse me, why are there so many coffin shops on this street?" Li Yunyang asked.
The plump middle-aged woman looked up and noticed that Li Yunyang was young and handsome. She immediately puffed up her cheeks and teased him, "Oh my, this young man really knows how to talk! I'm already half old, and you still call me 'sister.'"
As she spoke, one of her chubby hands stealthily reached out and began to pat Li Yunyang's hand repeatedly. Raising her eyebrows, she leaned closer, scaring him into quickly stepping back while Xiang Xueer covered her mouth and chuckled.
This woman was in her thirties, fierce as a wolf; in her forties, fierce as a tiger. Seeing a man made her unable to move. Looking at Li Yunyang's expression, which resembled someone constipated, she burst out laughing.
"Hehe!" Li Yunyang awkwardly chuckled, "Forget it... I’ll just ask someone else!"
"Hey, hey, hey, young man, don’t go!" The Fat Woman hurriedly grabbed him, and with a loud slap, her hand landed on his backside: "We call this place Wuli Village. If you walk ten more miles ahead, you'll reach Fengdu Ghost City. Isn't it normal to have coffin shops there? Their business is booming!"
The Fat Woman winked at Li Yunyang and continued to squeeze his attractive backside. Startled, Li Yunyang yelped and quickly pulled Xiang Xueer away to escape.
"Ah, what a lively little handsome guy!" the Fat Woman licked her lips and sighed with lingering desire.
"Hahaha!" Xiang Xueer laughed for a long time while holding her stomach. Li Yunyang's face turned red then black; he finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Dead Girl, are you happy seeing me being harassed by others?"
"Mm-mm-mm, super happy!" Xiang Xueer glanced sideways at Li Yunyang's backside and then playfully slapped it from behind, startling him into jumping in place: "You lewd woman!"
Suddenly, Xiang Xueer turned around quickly upon noticing strange gazes behind them. She dashed into an alleyway and pulled out a little thief who had been hiding there.
"Ah, let go of me!" A familiar voice came through, causing both of them to laugh: "Oh, I’ve been feeling like someone has been following me these past few days; turns out it's you, Stinky Duck."
"You stupid Duck, why are you following us?" Li Yunyang raised his Azure Dragon Sword and poked it at its backside a few times. It cried out in pain: "Who... who is following you? I just happened to be passing by while reading!"
"Oh? So you were just passing by?" Xiang Xueer nodded with a smirk while grabbing its little neck: "I haven't had roast duck in a long time; let's have some meat tonight!"
"Well, that's a good idea!" Li Yunyang turned around and waved to Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue across the street, saying, "Hey, we're having roast duck tonight!"
"Huh? Roast duck?" The two who had just gathered information noticed Platypus being held by Xiang Xueer. Lian Cheng Xue glared at it angrily, saying, "You little rascal Duck, you actually followed us!"
Seeing the situation, Platypus had no choice but to tell the truth: "Our Platypus clan only has me left. I didn't want to stay in that sad place with no way out, so I just wanted to follow you."
"Follow us?" Xiang Xueer tilted her head and stared at its sorrowful face before throwing it to the ground. "No way! Get lost while I'm still in a good mood."
The four of them didn't even glance at it and turned to leave. Seeing this, Platypus hurriedly followed behind, calling out, "I... I can help!"
"No! We don't need Duck's help!" Xiang Xueer said without looking back as she shared what she had just learned: "It's ten miles away; it's said to be Fengdu Ghost City!"
Platypus hurriedly hugged Xiang Xueer's leg. "Big sister, I... I know Fengdu Ghost City! I can help!"
"You know Fengdu Ghost City?" Xiang Xueer looked down at the perverted Duck clinging tightly to her leg and kicked it aside. "Tell me, what do you know?"
"Ahem!" Seeing that it was time to show off, Platypus cleared its throat and began: "This place is called Wuli Village, which is also the entrance to Fengdu Ghost City. That's why there are coffin shops everywhere. I know you're looking for the whereabouts of the Serpent Empress; since there are dead people everywhere here, if I were her, I would definitely hide here. This is what they call hiding in plain sight!"
"Hmph! Even a Stinky Duck knows about hiding in plain sight!" Xiang Xueer stroked her chin thoughtfully; it did make sense. "If I were the Serpent Empress, I would also hide in this place because no one would trace her due to the missing girl since there are dead people everywhere!"
The problem arose: wanting to investigate the Serpent Empress in a place where people die every day would be quite difficult. Xiang Xueer looked around; it seemed necessary to scout around tonight, especially regarding Fengdu Ghost City.
That night, the four of them hid near Li Mazi's house, hoping to gather information from this person. Xiang Xueer and Li Yunyang crouched by the wall while Lan Ran Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue hid on the roof.
"Big sister, what are you waiting for?" Platypus peeked out and looked into the dark night. Xiang Xueer sighed and turned to glare at it, asking, "I said, Duck, why aren't you getting lost?"
Platypus hugged Xiang Xueer's leg tightly and whined sweetly, "I don't want to! From now on, I'm yours; you have to treat me well!"
"Wow, don't spit on me!" Xiang Xueer forcefully pushed against its infatuated face and shouted, "Let go of me, you idiot!"
"Shh!" Li Yunyang quickly turned his head and covered Xiang Xueer's mouth. "Shh, stop messing around, someone is coming!"
Xiang Xueer glanced to the side and indeed saw a hunchbacked man in the night, carrying a large burlap sack on his back, swaying as he walked toward them.
Before long, the hunchbacked man reached the door, cautiously looked around for a moment, then opened the door and stealthily brought the sack inside. The four people who had been lying in wait immediately rushed out and pinned him to the ground.
"Ah, who are you? Help!" The hunchbacked man screamed in fright. Xiang Xueer flipped him over from the ground; his disheveled hair and pockmarked face almost made her think he was a ghost.
"Are you Li Mazi?" Xiang Xueer pressed one foot firmly on him, looking down at the ugly man lying on the ground with eagle-like eyes. Platypus stood beside her, admiringly resting his chin on his hand. "Ah, as expected of my big sister, so impressive!"
Qingtian and Lian Cheng Xue quickly opened the burlap sack. The contents were quite heavy; once the sack was opened, they found a young woman covered in dirt.
The two exchanged glances and reached out to check her breath; she had long since stopped breathing and was ice cold. The layer of dust on her face suggested she had been dead for at least several days.
"Hmph! That human meat Filling was indeed sold by you!" Xiang Xueer kicked him over to Li Yunyang and turned to the female corpse. The girl looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. She reached out to touch her arm. "She has been dead for at least two days; all this dirt must have just been dug up from Underground!"
As Xiang Xueer spoke, she continued examining the corpse. Suddenly, she was astonished to find red bloodstains still remaining on the chest area, darkened by time. After a careful inspection, she discovered that the girl's heart had already been removed.
"Could it be Serpent Empress?" Xiang Xueer exchanged glances with a few others before grabbing Li Mazi by the collar. "Tell me where you got this corpse from!"
