At night, An Sheng came over to call Zhou Wen and Ya 'er to the front hall for dinner.
Tsukuyomi kept following Zhou Wen, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to bring her along.
Before the group reached the front hall, they saw a golden stream of light fly out of the hall and instantly arrive in front of Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen extended his arm and saw a strange golden-feathered bird land on his arm. It was a chick.
However, the chick's current size was like an eagle. It puzzled Zhou Wen as he thought to himself, How strange. Isn't it a descendant of a phoenix? Why does it look more and more like an eagle?
However, Zhou Wen was still delighted to be able to reunite with the chick. He reached out to stroke the chick's feathers and vaguely felt a scorching heat flowing under the feathers.
The chick intimately rubbed its head against Zhou Wen's body, not feeling any sense of unfamiliarity from five years of separation.
Up to now, Zhou Wen still didn't understand why the phoenix had chosen him to deal with the chick.
After entering the front hall, Zhou Wen saw the antelope lazily sprawled on the sofa without approaching the dining table.
At the dining table, An Tianzuo was sitting in the seat of honor, and An Jing was sitting to his right.
After so many years, An Jing's appearance was very different from before. She was tall and not shorter than Zhou Wen.
Her face no longer had baby fat, making her look more heroic. Furthermore, she looked a lot calmer. Even though she was sitting there, her back was straight. One could see the bearing of a soldier from her.
An Tianzuo and An Jing looked at Zhou Wen without a word.
"Young Master Wen, sit here." An Sheng got Zhou Wen to sit on An Tianzuo's left while Ya 'er sat beside him. An Sheng originally wanted to arrange for Tsukuyomi to sit beside An Jing, but Tsukuyomi sat beside Ya' er.
An Sheng had no choice but to walk to An Jing's side and sit down. Then, he said to Zhou Wen, "Young Master Wen, why don't you introduce this beautiful lady to us?"
"Her name is Tsukuyomi. She's a friend I met overseas." Zhou Wen found it odd.
This was because An Sheng had previously said that he should be able to see the person pretending to be him at night, but there was only An Tianzuo and An Jing here.
It's definitely impossible for An Tianzuo. Could it be that the person pretending to be me is An Jing? Zhou Wen couldn't help but glance at An Jing.
An Jing happened to be looking at him as well. When their eyes met, the two of them subconsciously looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Miss Yue is from overseas? Which island do you live on? "An Tianzuo asked Tsukuyomi.
"Bride Island," Tsukuyomi answered truthfully.
Bride Island? An Tianzuo frowned slightly as he sized up Tsukuyomi.
Obviously, he knew what kind of place Bride Island was and knew that it was impossible for humans to live there.
Zhou Wen was afraid that An Tianzuo would continue asking, so he explained, "Bride Island isn't as terrifying as the legends say. I've been to Bride Island before and saw the Ghost Parade …"
Zhou Wen's topic immediately piqued An Sheng's interest. "I heard that there was a Ghost Parade disaster overseas. There should be a Calamity creature appearing, but for some reason, there was suddenly no news of it. Young Master Wen, since you've been there, do you know what happened? "
An Jing and An Tianzuo also looked at Zhou Wen. Clearly, they wanted to know the answer.
Zhou Wen naturally knew what was going on, but he couldn't tell them in front of Tsukuyomi that he, Zhou Wen, was the one who had abducted a Calamity creature that had just been born. That was why the dimensional creatures that accompanied it were temporarily obedient, right?
"Actually, it's all misinformation. Calamity creatures aren't as terrifying as the outside world describes them to be. They are still very kind, reasonable, and amiable. I reasoned with them, and they probably felt that what I said made sense, so they didn't continue the Ghost Parade." With Tsukuyomi beside him, he could only speak against his will.
Otherwise, if he angered Tsukuyomi, Luoyang would probably be doomed.
An Tianzuo, An Jing, and An Sheng looked at him. Their gazes explained everything. They felt that Zhou Wen was spouting nonsense.
Reasoned with Calamity creatures? Furthermore, they were kind and amiable. It would be a miracle if they believed him.
An Jing said indifferently, "They are so kind and nice. Why didn't you invite them back as guests?"
Why didn't I invite them? Isn't it just beside us? Zhou Wen thought to himself, but he said, "It's too far away. It's not easy to travel. I'll invite them over next time if there's a chance."
An Jing curled her lips and didn't say anything else. Clearly, she felt that Zhou Wen was spouting nonsense.
An Sheng hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Overseer, the food is ready. Why don't we serve it first?"
An Tianzuo nodded slightly as An Sheng hurriedly ordered someone to serve the food.
The food was very sumptuous, but it wasn't extravagant. The most expensive food was probably the dessert that Ya 'er ate. The rest were ordinary home-cooked dishes, but they were rather exquisite.
The atmosphere was especially stiff when the few of them ate together.
An Tianzuo took a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks before asking Tsukuyomi, "Miss Tsukuyomi, you live on Bride Island. Have you seen the Ghost Parade with your own eyes?"
"Of course I've seen it," Tsukuyomi answered.
"I wonder which hundred ghosts the Ghost Parade are. Let us broaden our horizons," An Tianzuo said.
"It's said to be a hundred ghosts, but there are actually more than a hundred. If it's the Terror grade, there are more than a hundred. For example, Daitengu, Yuki Onna, Hashihime, and company are all at the Terror grade," Tsukuyomi answered.
"You're really lucky to be able to escape alive with so many Terror creatures." An Jing clearly didn't believe Tsukuyomi's words.
"Didn't Zhou Wen already say that the dimensional creatures there are very kind and amiable? We get along very well and are like friends. There's no need to escape, right?" Tsukuyomi's last sentence was directed at Zhou Wen.
"Yes, they're especially amiable. They're really kind. They're all friends." What else could Zhou Wen say? He could only go along with Tsukuyomi.
"Then you really should invite them back next time. Let us meet those amiable friends," An Jing said casually.
"There's no need to wait for the next time. I can introduce you now," Tsukuyomi said.
An Jing felt that there was no point in continuing. Just as she was about to end the topic, the lights in the hall suddenly went out.
It wasn't just the living room. The entire An family had fallen into darkness. All the lights were extinguished.
An Jing and An Sheng's expressions changed. They wanted to get up, but An Tianzuo calmly said, "Sit down."
An Jing and An Sheng had no choice but to sit down again. However, just as they sat down, a cold wind blew open the living room's door. Snowflakes blew in with the cold wind. At the same time, a woman in white floated in.
"Yuki Onna?" An Sheng and An Jing stared at Yuki Onna. They had already guessed her identity, but they still found it unbelievable.
Yuki Onna walked to Tsukuyomi's side and bowed slightly at them. "Greetings, Lord and Fuma."
