"The Farr and the Snake?"
"What a cliché story!"
Paper Granny looked utterly disdainful, seemingly dissatisfied with it.
Zhao Yi, however, continued on his own:
"On a scorching sumr noon..."
"Huh? Isn't it supposed to be winter?"
"Don't interrupt, please!"
"Alright."
Zhao Yi began his tale:
"On a scorching sumr noon, a farr finished his work and was heading ho. On the way, he encountered a snake that was about to die from the heat. The snake stared at the bucket in the farr's hand and said to him: 'Farr, farr, if you let cool down, I will repay you!'"
Upon hearing this, Paper Granny's eyes lit up:
"So the farr poured water on it, right?"
Zhao Yi shook his head:
"No."
"The farr took the sickle from his waist and skinned the snake right there."
"He said to the snake: 'This way, you won't feel hot anymore.'"

"Sure enough, the snake no longer felt hot."
Paper Granny: "..."
After a mont of silence, she asked:
"Do you have sothing... more suitable for children?"
Zhao Yi:
"This story isn't suitable for children?"
"Well... never mind, I have plenty of stories. Let tell you another one—'The Little Girl Selling Lotus Pills.'"
Paper Granny:
"Lotus Pills?"
"Wait... sothing seems off here!"
Zhao Yi had already started:
"Once upon a ti, there was a little girl. She was very poor and had no money, so she could only carry her ancestral lotus pills to sell on the streets. But people were very indifferent. She called out all day in the heavy snow, yet didn't sell a single pill..."
"At night, the little girl felt very cold, so she lit a match. In the light, she saw her grandmother..."
"But the match didn't burn for long before it went out..."
Paper Granny tentatively asked:
"So she lit a second match?"
Zhao Yi replied:
"No, she lit the lotus pills."
"And that night, everyone in the town saw their grandmothers."
Paper Granny: "???"

Zhao Yi's eyes sparkled with excitent as he continued:
"And there's more..."
Paper Granny couldn't take it anymore:
"Alright, alright, alright!"
"Thank you for your stories, young man, I've fully felt your enthusiasm..."
Zhao Yi curbed his eagerness to continue storytelling.
"So, can you tell what happened in this mansion before?"
Paper Granny sighed:
"Although I was attached to so vengeful spirits after death, I don't rember most things about this mansion."
"I can only tell you, never go to the second floor!"
"Only the Second Madam can enter there!"
"Anyone else, whether human or ghost, will surely die if they enter the second floor!"
Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow:
"The Second Madam... is she the living person?"
Paper Granny's gaze shifted to the window, looking at a brightly lit tall building under the cold moonlight.
"The Second Madam is nad Su i, a concubine taken by the master, and the only one."
"After the terrifying incident in the mansion, everyone died, except for her and the First Madam, Fang Qian, in the Moon Tower."
Two living people?
Could the terrifying incident in the mansion be related to them?
Zhao Yi pressed further:
"Where does Su i live?"
Paper Granny replied:
"In a small side residence not far from the main house."
"But there's a terrifying pair of twin fierce ghosts there. If you don't have a token... you'll surely be killed!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi knew he was about to get crucial information.
"May I ask what the token is and where to find it?"
Paper Granny fell silent.
"The token is in Chief Che's room, but his room is filled with intense resentnt and killing intent. These have rged into a strong spiritual pollution, and it's easy for soone to get lost in there forever..."
Zhao Yi inquired about Chief Che's room from Paper Granny, thanked her, and left the house.
As he exited, he heard a faint sigh from inside the room.
"Young man... be careful..."
"Not all the ghosts in this haunted mansion are as kind as I am..."
"If you see sothing chasing you... run quickly... and never look back!!"
Zhao Yi nodded slightly and closed the door.
Bai Zhihai's corpse on the ground was already cold, lying quietly in the corridor, with his middle finger pointing towards Paper Granny's room.
Zhao Yi took a serious look, then went up and stomped on his middle finger, breaking it!
He walked a few steps, felt uneasy, returned, and took out his soul weapon, the scalpel, to sever Bai Zhihai's hands, feet, and head. Then he ticulously knocked out all his teeth, cut off his tongue, peeled off his scalp, and removed his nails...
This way, even if Bai Zhihai turned into a zombie or sothing, he wouldn't pose any threat to him.
Looking at the pile of body parts on the ground, Zhao Yi showed a satisfied smile.
Done!
A perfect work of art!
After finishing, he got up and left.
About five minutes after he left, the door of the nearby room slowly opened, and Wang Hua's pale face peeked out from the crack, staring intently at the pile of human remains on the ground, his legs trembling...
What kind of monster had they encountered?
Not only did he kill, but he also mutilated the body like this...
Zhao Yi's bizarre behavior sent chills down Wang Hua's spine, more terrifying than seeing a ghost!
He had to...
Kill such a madman?
What a joke!
"No way... no way..."
"I have to wait until I et up with them before making any plans..."
"If I go find him now, he'll definitely skin alive!"
Wang Hua's eyes were vacant as he muttered to himself.
The thought of Zhao Yi standing in front of him with a scalpel and a smile made him shiver uncontrollably!
...
Chief Che's room was in the back part of the main house.
Zhao Yi walked along the dark corridor, occasionally feeling a bone-chilling wind blowing from the tightly closed rooms beside him, faintly hearing so eerie laughter and whispers...
"So fragrant... the sll of human flesh..."
"Hee hee... how long has it been since a living person ca to this haunted mansion..."
"..."
Zhao Yi ignored these voices and arrived at the room Paper Granny had told him about.
There was no sound inside.
A dead silence.
There was no one here, not even a ghost.
But just standing here could evoke a suffocating sense of fear.
Zhao Yi slowly pushed open Chief Che's door...
In the next mont, countless terrifying black hairs stretched out, wrapping tightly around Zhao Yi's body, dragging him into the room!
Bang!
The door eerily slamd shut on its own.
In the corridor, the sound of the door echoed.
And then...
There was no more ghostly sound...
