C160 — [6.26 — Strange Tales of Fengjia Town]
by UntamedSThe bandage on Gu Yin’s face was dyed red with his own blood, and he craved Jiu Shu’s closeness, using blood-colored kisses to leave strings of blood beads on Jiu Shu’s cheeks, wanting to feed his flesh and blood to Jiu Shu.
Jiu Shu was tightly held in Gu Yin’s arms, and before he could react, he wanted to say something more, but the next second, his movements were interrupted by a kiss on his cheek.
Thick blood flowed down Jiu Shu’s fair cheeks, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the piece of flesh that Gu Yin had bitten off.
The large piece of bloody arm flesh was irregularly shaped when it was torn, bringing a cold touch when it was pressed against Jiu Shu’s cheek.
Even though he refused, the fishy taste of Gu Yin’s blood was already between Jiu Shu’s lips and teeth, and the sound of Gu Yin chewing on his own flesh could even be heard.
He wanted to make his meat more palatable.
Seeing Gu Yin’s expectant gaze, Jiu Shu’s peach blossom-like eyes slowly widened, and his pupils shrank slightly.
He realized that the mental state of the object of discipline wasn’t right.
Although his mental state had never been very good, it seemed that after being trapped here, he had received additional stimulation, causing his mental state to be completely problematic, but he acted normally so that he would mistakenly think that he was fine.
Perhaps it was because Gu Yin had been covering his face just now, which prevented him from seeing Gu Yin’s expression, and he didn’t notice it.
Jiu Shu lowered his eyes, seemingly a little chagrined and heartbroken.
So, he didn’t refuse Gu Yin’s kiss, and when he looked up, the sticky blood that could only be found in a corpse flowed out of Gu Yin’s mouth, sliding down his beautiful jawline into his cold white collarbone and staining the silver cross on his chest.
However, Jiu Shu didn’t eat his flesh and blood as Gu Yin wished.
Instead, he raised his hand and prepared to bite off a piece of his own flesh just like Gu Yin.
However, Gu Yin held his wrist just in time.
Jiu Shu was once again tightly held, and for a moment, he could only helplessly stick to Gu Yin’s sturdy chest. His fair cheeks were slightly red, and when he lowered his eyes, he could see how taut Gu Yin’s arm muscles were due to fear.
Although he had gone crazy, Gu Yin was still very sharp in preventing his lover from getting hurt, and his power was much stronger than that of Jiu Shu. He could easily stop Jiu Shu.
“Dear, don’t bite; if you want meat, just eat me.” Gu Yin’s voice was full of heartache; he was so anxious that he even spat the meat he was preparing in his mouth onto the ground.
He didn’t know why his lover wanted to hurt himself.
If he hadn’t been quick to stop it, Jiu Shu’s pale arm would have had an additional bloody wound on it.
“Because it hurts.”
Jiu Shu said, his bony fingers pressing against Gu Yin’s bandaged face, stroking his pale, thin lips.
Even with the bandages, one could still see the outline of Gu Yin’s handsome face, except for his ears.
Although she kept saying that the priest was compelled and that the priest wasn’t awake, looking at the priest’s eyes that were so cold and clear that they seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, she could no longer deceive herself any longer.
This mental breakdown was even more difficult for Feng Qi to accept than when she was turned into a monster by Gu Yin.
Because this was the priest she truly loved, loved to the point where she was willing to give her life.
“Why? Why! Father!”
Why would he be so kind to Gu Yin, a monster!
And he treated her as a monster and Gu Yin as a precious person.
“Because I love him, of course.”
Jiu Shu didn’t begrudge revealing his feelings; he knew that the current Gu Yin wasn’t yet completely normal, and it was time to appease him. Showing Gu Yin’s fiancé status to outsiders was the best way to appease him.
Gu Yin’s face turned red, but his eyes were astonishingly bright. He was originally angry and resentful because of Feng Qi’s curses, but now he had no time to pay attention and only stared at Jiu Shu.
From Jiu Shu’s red lips to his eyes full of love, all of them fascinated Gu Yin, and he simply couldn’t take his gaze away.
The priest had acknowledged him to an outsider; the pleasure of the moment was something no amount of killing could bring.
“Father—but, but I love you. I love you, Father!”
Looking at the cold expression on the priest’s face when he faced her, Feng Qi could no longer hold back her tears and uttered the confession that had been buried in her heart.
She had fantasized countless times about how the priest might behave when she confessed, and every time she was gazed upon by those gentle eyes.
Instead, the reality was that the priest was standing not far away, looking at her faintly without any change in his expression.
It was as if she was just an insignificant stranger who wasn’t even taken seriously.
Only when he turned his head to look at Gu Yin would his gaze become gentle.
This contrast was difficult for Feng Qi to accept.
She used her multiple deformed multiple limbs to squirm on the ground, wanting to get closer to Jiu Shu, but was never able to.
Unlike the fierce ghost, she was ultimately unable to freely control these many limbs that had grown out and could only howl as she watched the priest move further and further away from her.
She didn’t understand, she really didn’t understand why the priest would fall in love with that monster, Gu Yin, that obviously incomparably despicable and lowly being who had managed to get her unattainable priest.
Jealousy made her lose her mind; the matter of being loathed by the priest was more frightening to her than mere death; the physical deformity was increasing; she finally couldn’t even crawl anymore; she could only look at the priest’s faraway back in despair.
At this moment, she inexplicably recalled a fragment of her memory from her previous life.
At that time, Gu Yin who had been split up by the villagers seemed to be lying on the ground like this, looking at herself and Feng Yun far away in pain and despair.
It shouldn’t be like this; her ending in this life shouldn’t be like this!
Feng Qi was full of unwillingness but could only lie on the ground in increasing weakness, wailing and crying in pain, but no one paid any attention.
Walking down the corridor, Jiu Shu was ready to go find the few believers that he had separated from earlier, and Gu Yin obediently followed beside him in the same direction.
“Don’t hurt yourself again.”
Jiu Shu urged again and again.
Although he knew that Gu Yin would still hurt himself when his emotions weren’t normal next time, Jiu Shu still hoped that he wouldn’t do so.
Gu Yin nodded obediently, not knowing if he had heard it or not, and continued to stare at Jiu Shu. The bandage couldn’t hide the seemingly obedient smile on his face.
He was completely different from that terrifying, crazy ghost.
A was completely frozen.
He was stuck at the edge of the wall, not knowing if he was hallucinating or if what had just happened had really happened.
Just now, A had been hiding at the edge of the wall to peek, and from his angle, he could only see the priest’s back, but he was able to see Gu Yin’s expression.
That was why he couldn’t believe what he actually saw.
Those kind of gentle and bright eyes, the way he subconsciously smiled when looking at the priest, that was simply the almost blind love that only a young girl in love would have.
Was that really a fierce ghost?
A asked himself this more than once, his mind constantly recalling images from his last life.
The pale and gloomy face of the fierce ghost in his memory was incomparably similar to the bandaged face now, yet very different.
Even when he had great expectations for Feng Qi before, he had never thought that Gu Yin would reveal that kind of expression.
He actually fell in love with a human.
How was it possible?
Obviously, when facing Feng Qi, he still had that terrifyingly terrifying expression, so gloomy that it made people tremble with fear.
This unbelievable image made A unable to say half a word; his mind went blank, and he even forgot to hide.
By the time he came back to his senses, the evil ghost in front of him had already stopped.
His eyes under the bandage widened, revealing an excited smile that A was terrified of, immediately causing him to be drenched in cold sweat.
“Dear, this is Feng Qi’s best friend; I think he can tell you about that too!”
“What is it?”
Jiu Shu glanced over; he was wiping the dry bloodstains on his cheeks with the back of his hand. His hair was slightly disheveled due to the wiping action, and his beautiful eyes became even more eye-catching.
A was picked up by his collar; he was scared out of his wits. He no longer had the terrifying arrogance of shouting about evil ghosts in front of Jiu Shu like before.
His gaze when looking at Jiu Shu was extraordinarily terrified.
In the face of the townspeople who knew nothing about the town, A, who boasted of knowing the memories of his past life, naturally had a sense of arrogance.
He thought he was different and even thought that the town’s dreaded priest, who was the only one who could control the town, was foolish and didn’t know the horrors of the ghosts and that he was asking for death.
Even when he followed him, he didn’t really trust his own inexplicable instincts, but rather he thought he’d see the pretty priest die at the hands of the ghost.
He was heartbroken and sorry that he went on without listening to him.
After all, the priest was really gentle and beautiful, as beautiful as an angel.
But it never occurred to him that the ridiculous intuition in his heart was true.
The ghost was really the priest’s fiancé!
And judging from the situation, the ghost was actually the puppy in this relationship.
Just by looking at the ghost’s expression, A could tell that the priest was the dominant figure in the relationship, completely controlling the volatile, tyrannical ghost.
A ghost who killed for pleasure was being played by a deep-minded human priest, just like the townspeople he’d brainwashed.
It was horrifying.
It was something that had never happened in his previous life.
A didn’t really know why this priest hadn’t been around in his previous life.
If there had been a human who could make the ghost fall in love, he wouldn’t have been trapped in Fengjia Town for so long.
Luckily, there was still a chance in this life; as long as he pleased the priest, he would be able to spare his life from the ghost.
However, he had already offended the priest and had spoken ill of the ghost in front of the priest, which was simply a death wish!
A’s teeth were chattering with fear.
It wasn’t easy for him to be reborn; it wasn’t easy for him to see a bit of hope to live, and then his hope was tossed away by his own arrogance; how could he not despair? He began to weep.
But in the next moment, he was silenced by Gu Yin’s eerie pupils.
Immediately after that, he saw the evil ghost’s pale face show an excitement that even the bandage couldn’t hide, pulling the corners of his mouth to reveal an extremely joyful curve.
He said to his beloved Jiu Shu, “What he knows is that he heard Feng Qi say that the person who impersonated me is actually a ghost who loves Feng Qi deeply. He died because of Feng Qi in his past life.”
“He loves Feng Qi to the bone and is a very philandering bastard; you mustn’t believe it, dear!”
A, who was thrown to the ground as evidence, could only nod his head with trepidation.
Though he didn’t know anything about the ghost being a philanderer or not, he could see the ghastly smile on Gu Yin’s face as he looked at him.
The malice in the smile was even thicker than the one the fierce ghost in his previous life when it faced the living.

Inside the church, the fierce ghost who was still searching for the entrance seemed to have heard something and nearly cracked his back teeth from how hard his jaw clenched; his facial expression was ugly to the core.
The flesh and blood in the church still trembled under the pressure of Gu Yin, as if trying to catch all the living creatures walking in the corridor.
And like it was trying to struggle to explain something.
Jiu Shu looked at the deformed limbs struggling around the corridor walls and faintly heard a sound. Gu Yin reached out and covered Jiu Shu’s ears.
“Don’t listen, dear. It’s the fierce ghost terrorizing people!”
Gu Yin revealed a heartbroken expression and hugged Jiu Shu, fearing that Jiu Shu would suffer the slightest harm: “He said he would kill us. Don’t be afraid, my dear. I will protect you!”
As the words fell, the limbs on the wall struggled even more strongly. Those tiny murmurs were so strong that even an ordinary person like A could hear the extreme anger in them.
It seemed to be using foul language, and its curses were quite dirty.
A’s face went blank; he didn’t know if he had misheard!
