I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 51 Testing Courage_1

Wu Qiyi very keenly sensed your displeasure and immediately pursed her lips, speaking in a voice neither high nor low, serene and beautiful, "Songhe Tower was a coming-of-age gift from my grandmother. It’s my private property and has nothing to do with the Wu Family."

"Wow, a goddess-level rich lady, I want to cling to your coattails!"

Yang Kai threw Wu Qiyi a series of flirtatious glances, only to be glared at fiercely by Lin Panxia, "Don’t even dream about it, our Little Yun has already set her heart on someone."

"Just kidding, just kidding. I am well aware of my own standing," he said.

Soon, the sumptuous and aromatic dishes were served, and you, Zong Wangyue, and Liao Yong began to wolf down the food like starving ghosts reincarnated, ignoring the five girls in front of you completely.

Wei Shuxian took a sip of tea, pushed up his glasses, and after looking at you and Wu Qiyi, said with a smile, "I knew it! Our Jiang University’s recognized goddess, how could she casually enter such a decrepit little temple? Turns out, the goddess’s beloved is right among us."

"Hmm?!"

With Wei Shuxian saying so, except for you, everyone looked up, and it all became obvious without being said.

"Hey, Old Shu, you sure kept it deep under wraps!" Yang Kai said with a sly grin, patting your shoulder, "Pass on a few tips to your brothers, will you?"

Since turning fate on its head, your appetite had grown even larger. You devoured half a Beggar’s Chicken, then wiped your mouth full of butter with a warm, damp cloth and said to everyone, "It’s nothing like that. Didn’t you just say it? She’s a goddess and I’m Sculpted Silk. It’s natural to bask in her glory at a meal, but don’t overthink anything else. Cinderella stories may still happen these days, but princesses and commoners are the stuff of novels. I advise you to eat more now, since after the sunset, I’ll take you to a great spot."

Towards the end, you pretended to clench your teeth, scaring Yang Kai and the others into shrinking their heads a bit.

Xiao Feng glanced at you and let out a soft sigh before lifting his can of coke, toasting everyone, "Here’s to celebrating the establishment of our brand-new supernatural detective society, bottoms up!"

"Bottoms up!"

Wu Qiyi gracefully lifted a transparent glass filled with clear water, her gaze slightly lowered, with unfathomable and enchanting eyes shimmering with a mysterious light.

Dusk deepened, and the day turned to twilight.

After your group had their fill of food and drink, you all left Songhe Tower in twos and threes, heading out in different directions.

This time, Xiao Feng’s car was driven by you, with Wu Qiyi trailing behind you; a convoy of two cars headed towards the old city area of Yuhang City.

In the back seat of the car, Yang Kai and the other four chattered non-stop until, after a prolonged silence, Xiao Feng suddenly spoke to you, "Mu Yun, not to bust your chops here, but from the first moment you saw her three years ago, you kept telling me you’d fallen for her. I mocked you for overestimating yourself, but what did you say? Love is a person’s business, there’s no right or wrong, just daring or not. So why the hell are you backing out now?"

As soon as Xiao Feng opened his mouth, everyone in the car fell silent.

You stayed silent, eyes fixed on the road ahead.

Xiao Feng continued, "Is it because of Zhao’er?"

You glanced at Xiao Feng and nodded.

"I’ve heard about Zhao’er’s situation. She told me it’s the Wu Family’s biggest secret, so classified not even the clan leaders of past generations were privy to it. She found out through her grandmother. She didn’t tell Zhao’er exactly who it was, but I can guess that Zhao’er’s true identity must be incredibly terrifying."

Xiao Feng paused, then went on, "I think you should be very clear that the distance between you and Zhao’er is even greater, and a relationship between you two is even less likely. Before, Zhao’er was out of her mind, which is why she clung to you. Now, she must have found herself again. If she truly felt the same about you, she would’ve come to you by now."

"I know, so I’ve just buried that time deep in my heart," you said, licking your dry lips and giving a wry smile, "The past is gone, and it’s not worth dwelling on."

"If that’s the case, why can’t you just openly reveal your feelings? I know, you still harbor feelings for her, you just can’t step out from Zhao’er’s shadow just yet," he said.

Xiao Feng’s words carried passion, and you knew he meant well.

"Madman, we’ve been brothers for over a decade. Let me tell you the truth, I’m worn out. You should understand that a person’s affections don’t just come and go on a whim."

"But..."

"There’s one more thing," you interrupted Xiao Feng, "I’ve made a vow to myself, I won’t fall in love with anyone in four years. During these four years, I will plan out my life and the path I will take. Nothing else, I won’t think about it, nor do I dare to."

"Four years, always four years, forget it, I won’t interfere anymore, do whatever you want!"

You laughed, turned on the radio, and discovered just the right song playing: "Life itself is just like a play, why fuss over love and hate, name and wealth, oh what are they? Bring none at birth, take none at death; joys and sorrows, so unpredictable in the Mortal World, if no fate this life, let’s reunite in the next. Love and resentment, what are they? The boat will sail through when reaching the bridge. Just wave your sleeve and never look back, drink and be merry, the time is now; though riches are fine, happiness is scarce, I stride through life with ease! I laugh with pride, I laugh with pride, seeking a life of joyful freedom..."

Singing along with the song, you naturally left any unpleasant emotions behind.

Yet, at an angle you couldn’t see, Xiao Feng’s phone was on, and the words you had just spoken naturally reached the ears of Wu Qiyi, who was wearing a headset...

To Xiao Feng and the others, the so-called ’test of courage’ was definitely about going to some secluded, dilapidated places like those often seen in horror films — hospitals, schools, etc., because that’s the kind of environment that can provoke a real sense of fear, both sensory and emotional. frёewebηovel.cѳm

However, to everyone’s surprise, you actually led them to a park in the old city area.

The night had already descended, revealing the night scenery of Yuhang City naturally before you all.

"Old Shu, why did you bring us to the park?" After getting out of the car, Yang Kai voiced the question on everyone’s mind.

You smiled and asked, "Has anyone among you been to this park before?"

Xiao Feng raised his hand, glanced at Wu Qiyi, and seeing that she didn’t speak, he said to you, "We used to hang out here all the time as kids, I remember when you were six, you even pledged eternal love to a little girl."

"Oh? Really?" Yang Kai’s gossip trigger was instantly pulled.

"Tell us about it," Wei Shuxian said, making his signature move of pushing up his glasses.

Zong Wangyue looked at you with stars in his eyes, "Our club president truly lives up to his reputation, wooing girls at the age of six, what an idol!"

Liao Yong and Jin Qi both spoke at the same time, "Where is this little sister now?"

Xiao Feng glanced at Wu Qiyi and chuckled, "She went abroad, and when they parted back then, this guy even stole her first kiss..."

"Alright, it’s been so many years, since she’s in the United States, she’s probably had several boyfriends by now."

Ever since high school started, you hadn’t been back to this place, and returning to the old spot today, you couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy.

You clapped your hands, and spoke to the eleven people in front of you, "Well, let me say this upfront, in a moment you’re going to witness the real deal, if anyone is scared now, you can back out."

Everyone exchanged glances and then shook their heads.

Jin Qi tried several times to nervously raise his hand, but each time he couldn’t quite do it, and after a fierce inner struggle, his courage prevailed over his cowardice.

"Good, since no one is dropping out, let’s begin now."

Saying that, you once again bit your own finger and dabbed it on everyone’s forehead, and when you reached Wu Qiyi, you hesitated for a moment, took a breath, and lightly touched her smooth forehead as well.

However, as you turned to speak with Xiao Feng and the others, the blood on Wu Qiyi’s forehead quickly absorbed into her skin!

Wu Qiyi shuddered all over, quickly turned away, and bit her own finger too, dabbing her blood on her forehead.

Lin Panxia saw everything, her attractive eyes narrowed immediately, and her lips curled into a hint of a smile.

"Old Shu, what are you doing?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Are you opening our Heavenly Eyes?" Wei Shuxian cautiously ventured a guess.

"You could say that," you replied with a smile, "From now, for the next hour, you’ll see things you usually can’t. Come on, follow me."

"Where to?" Xiao Feng continued to inquire.

"Up the mountain."

"I remember there’s only a temple at the top of the park, and it’s usually quite busy with people offering incense, are you taking us to see immortals?"

Your brows slightly raised, you grinned with a malevolent charm, "You’ll find out if you follow me."

With that, you walked briskly towards the stone steps leading up the mountain.

At this time, there were still many people exercising in the park, and with more traffic around, naturally, there was no sense of fear.

However, as Yang Kai and the others noticed your increasingly sinister smile, they all became wary, on guard against what you might do.

Halfway up the mountain, the group reached a small platform, where several elderly people were practicing Tai Chi, and a short distance away, two little boys were playing with a ball.

One of the boys kicked the ball too hard, and it rolled towards your group.

Noticing the little boy about to come over to retrieve it, Xiao Feng wanted to show off in front of Han Lele, stepping forward and saying to the boy, "Don’t worry, big bro will get the ball for you."

However, as Xiao Feng bent down to scoop up the ball with one hand, it mysteriously passed right through his palm!

"What..."

Xiao Feng was shocked, and at the same time, he noticed that the two little boys and the elderly people all turned their heads to look at your group, their gazes notably different!
