Chapter 966: Night Market
Editor: Atlas Studios
Seeing them enter, a person dressed like a waiter walked over and bowed to them. “Please come in!”
The few of them followed the waiter’s guidance and entered the night market. There was no hawking, no violent conversation, and no bargaining. There was only the faint sound of voices, and the silence was terrifying.
Lu Feng sniffed the air and frowned. “There’s the smell of southwest medicinal powder here.”
Leng Yan walked in front and turned around. Then, she quickly walked back and whispered to them, “There are many prohibited items here. You have to be careful.”
She had just taken a few steps when she saw that there were forbidden pills on the stall. There were also people selling all kinds of strange poisonous insects. There were even people selling talismans with evil spells.
“It’s fine.” Yu Su comforted everyone. With her around, these things could not hurt many people.
The few of them walked past the first stall. This stall was relatively normal. The stall sold some sachets and safety talismans.
The stall owner was a kind-looking middle-aged woman. The stall owner chuckled and said, “These sachets are made from herbs I gathered on the mountain. They’re much more effective than the sachets outside. If you don’t buy them, you’ll definitely regret it.”
Ye Tang immediately fell in love with a small rabbit-shaped sachet. The rabbit on the sachet was so lifelike, the embroidery was exquisite, and the rabbit’s shape was very cute. She took a whiff and found the scent very fragrant.
Ye Tang looked at Yu Su and signaled with her eyes: Can she buy it?
Yu Su nodded. The medicinal herbs in the sachet were indeed not bad and would be quite effective. Ye Tang bought them instantly.
Later on, the few of them passed by some strange stalls. Some sold Peach Blossom Swords, some sold talismans, some sold jade spiritual artifacts, and even human skin drums made of human bones.
Just as they thought that this journey was about to end, Leng Yan, who was leading the way, suddenly exclaimed, “What is that?”
Everyone followed Leng Yan’s gaze and saw all kinds of human limbs on the stall. There were broken arms and half a leg, as well as many people’s eyeballs and fingers.
These bloody things were casually placed at the stall, looking very terrifying.
“Hehehe…” An old voice came from behind them. The laughter was very sharp.
The old man’s body was hunched, and his hair was white. His face was covered in many colored patterns, making him look like an ancient high priest. His clothes were tattered, and his eyes swept across the few of them. He smiled and said, “If anyone dares to try these delicacies I made, I’ll give them a priceless treasure.”
After he said that, he picked up a human eyeball and ate it. Everyone could hear him chewing it.
The atmosphere became even more terrifying. Even the usually calm Leng Yan could not help but frown.
Yu Su walked forward and picked up a finger from the stall. There was still red blood on the finger, which looked extremely terrifying. Yu Su opened her mouth and ate it without changing her expression.
“Ah, Yu Su! Don’t eat it!” Ye Tang was shocked. Her eyes widened and she sounded like she was about to cry.
This scene was too horrifying. That finger was too realistic!
Yu Su shook her head at her and looked at the old man. “You’re Elder Gourmet Demon?”
Although this was a question, it was full of certainty. She had long known this person’s identity.
Wen Chuan suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help but smile. So it was him! No wonder Yu Su dared to eat it.
The old man laughed out loud until tears were about to flow out. He smiled and said, “I really didn’t expect that someone would know my name after I haven’t been out in the metaphysical world for more than ten years. Little girl, tell me. What treasure do you want?”
Originally, he had planned to randomly choose an item to give away, but now that he saw that the girl was so interesting, he changed his mind. Anyway, his lifespan was about to end, so it was useless to have so many treasures.
“I heard that you have a treasure on you that can resist most Daoist spells. I wonder if you can lend it to me for a few days?” Yu Su cupped her hands at the elder.
Elder Gourmet Demon laughed loudly again. “You’re quite picky, little girl. I’m happy today, I’ll lend it to you to play with. Return it to me in seven days.” With that, he took out something from his pocket and threw it at Yu Su.
Yu Su reached out to take it. She looked at the thing in her palm. The treasure was made of jade and looked like a leaf. It was crystal clear and very beautiful.
Yu Su bade farewell to the Elder Gourmet Demon. He smiled as he watched them walk away.
When they were far away, Ye Tang patted her chest with a look of lingering fear and asked Yu Su, “Yu Su, how are you now? Will that thing you just ate be alright?”
