054 Sneaky Ghost in the Forest_1

Chi Yue's raised hand paused mid-air.

Slowly, it descended.

"What's going on?"

Her heart tightened, and she asked in a suppressed voice.

Qiao Dongyang looked toward the forest, his expression a bit odd.

"Shh!"

Chi Yue's entire body was pressed against his, feeling his breath, his heartbeat, and that strange male scent different from a woman's, up close. She frowned... suppressing her emotions, waiting quietly for what was to come.

Qiao Dongyang kept his gaze fixed on the forest.

Meanwhile, Tengu had obediently turned off the light.

Under the bright moon, the tree shadows swayed. Some trees hidden in the shadows of the light, dark and numerous, stood like rows of soldiers in the darkness. The forest, with no visible edge, suddenly became sinister and terrifying, as if beasts might burst forth from some unknown corner at any moment...

Everyone stood still.

The wind gradually picked up.

The atmosphere became exceptionally tense.

The leaves rustled loudly in the wind.
