"Wow! That's not right!"

She was very lucky that even though she had learned dance at Qiandui and Dijiang for a period of time, Mu Ji had never performed in front of others.

Teacher Di Jiang also repeatedly encouraged her to perform on stage, but Mu Ji was young at the time and hated the feeling of making eye contact with others.

But dance that truly touches people's hearts is never a one-man show by the performer.

Seeing that Mu Yi was very excited, Tu Shanyue promptly poured a basin of cold water on him.

"Can you dance?"

"Yes! The teacher who taught me how to dance said I was very talented!"

"Then can you dance Noh dance?"

"Won't!"

"...Don't give me the confidence to say no!!"

"But I really don't know how! I'm not from your country of the sea!"

"Even if you have mastered some dance basics, if you fail to perform to the satisfaction of those big names after going on stage, not only will you be hacked to death, but I will also be implicated!"

"Teach me Yueyue then! I learn quickly!"

"...You just want me to beat you up, right?"

He is also known as the dance genius of Flower Street, but it took him three years to learn it. It is impossible for a famous performance to tolerate low-level dancing.

The original plan was for this woman to wear a neng mask and sneak into the performance team, but she actually wanted to perform on stage!

"I hope you won't hit me!"

Mu Yi fully displayed the rogue nature he inherited from Quan Quan. Introducing a blacksmith to the daimyo was also a good thing for Tu Shanyue, and he had no reason to reject her.

"Come on, you eat something first and I'll make arrangements. If you really want to learn, come to the room opposite tonight."

Talking to Mu Yi gave him a headache. Tu Shanyue put his forehead on his head and pushed open the door. Mu Yi took off his robe and lay on the mattress, dazed.

"Well... I'm so sleepy... I'll take a nap first..."

She fixed the mask on her face, found a comfortable position, lay down in the room where the incense was lit, and fell into a dream.

In the middle of the night, a burst of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded. Mu Yi suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment, the demonic power surged in his body. He looked around, but found no enemy.

She didn't think it was an illusion, got up and put on her clothes, her eyes locked on the courtyard under the moonlight.

The door screen reflected the shadow of a child wearing a kimono. His laughter was like a crisp silver bell, but Mu Ji could clearly see the horns on the shadow's forehead.

what?

There should be no pure-blood dragons here...and only pure-blood dragons can turn into human form at such a young age...

He silently approached the shadow, but the child seemed to be aware of Mu Yi's presence and ran away quickly.

Opening the door, the moonlight was a bit dazzling. Mu Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the empty corridor. He was confused, but he didn't intend to pursue it.

"Forget it, I probably won't come back—"

Just as she was about to turn around and go back to catch up on her sleep, she yawned and heard a scream and the sound of falling into the water.

"Ouch!!!!"

Mu Yi frowned slightly and opened the door again, looking unhappy.

"You are sincerely preventing me from sleeping..."

She casually walked to the edge of the pond in the courtyard. A pair of pale little hands were flapping on the water, and she let out a scream of unknown meaning.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Mu Yi didn't want to save this guy at all. How could a demon clan that could transform into another form be drowned in such a small puddle?

She waited for a while, but not only did the other party not come up, but he seemed to slowly sink because of exhaustion of strength.

"Hey, hey, hey?!" Mu Yi was frightened by the child's sinking, and without waiting any longer, he stretched out his hand to pick him up. He looked at this unusually petite monster and frowned.

"There is no demonic power at all...and apart from the horns...there are no other demonic characteristics..."

As she spoke, she reached out and poked his pair of protruding horns.

"That child is not a monster, he is a ghost."

Tu Shanyue suddenly appeared behind her, not wearing a nightgown, but an exquisite and gorgeous performance costume.

"What? Ghost?!"

Mu Yi's expression was as if she had seen a ghost. She threw the little boy away with a strange look on her face.

"The land of Haiguo has been conquered for many years, and the blood is very heavy. The transportation is blocked, and the people's ideas and beliefs are very backward."

Tu Shanyue walked aside and lifted the boy up.

"This kind of ghost is called Zashiki Warashi. It is a kind of ghost that protects the peace of the home. Generally, it can only be recognized by children."

Mu Yi simply sat on the ground and started to figure it out——

"No...you call this thing a ghost? Aren't ghosts dead people?"

"I have said that this is the local name of the Sea Kingdom. Don't other countries in your spiritual world also call this kind of existence that is not a living thing a god?" Tu Shanyue twitched the corner of his mouth, "It is a collection of thoughts and wills.

This kind of existence has no physical body, the conditions for its appearance are also very harsh, and its appearance is different."

"You...you mean that Haiguo has many more meanings besides this little devil?"

Tu Shanyue did not deny it—nor did he answer Mu Yu's question directly.

"Zashiki Warashi are the souls of children from poor families after they die. They don't want other families to make the same mistakes, so they will haunt the house at night to bless the family with good fortune for many years to come."

"If you say so, dead people can exist in this form...how many ghosts are there in your country?"

"It's not that dead people will turn into ghosts. It only happens when the death is extremely miserable or the obsession is too deep. Not all ghosts are the incarnations of dead people's obsessions."

He felt that it was necessary to spread knowledge in this area with Mu Ji. After all, when he took her to the capital, it was extremely common for ghosts and monsters to coexist.

When this guy without common sense makes some trouble, he will suffer too!

"For example, the Killing Ghost is said to have been transformed by the demon slayer who killed all the demons in Haiguo when his wife and children were killed by the demons. He has no consciousness, but will kill demons everywhere. Thousands of demons died in his hands."

Mu Yi also felt that what Tu Shanyue said was very interesting and sat on the lawn and listened to him quietly.

"There are also pipe foxes, which were possessed by humans when they were still active in the Sea Kingdom. People possessed by them will completely change their eating habits and cannot live without miso soup for three meals."

"This is very convenient!" Mu Yi's interest always left Tu Shanyue speechless, "Then if I can possess a rich person, I won't just drink soup, a good meal of wine and meat is my life!

"

"Not all ghosts are divided into good and evil. According to rumors, Nue is a ghost that can judge good and evil. If it is judged as evil, it will be killed. If it is good, it will be protected."

"We also have a similar monster over there!" Mu Ji interjected, "It's called Qiongqi! But it's a complete bad guy! It becomes stupid when it sees good people, and it helps evil people when it sees them!"

"You won't live here for a long time, but you still need to understand some necessary customs." Tu Shanyue stopped standing and sat next to her and began to explain.

"The weather in Haiguo is changeable. If it snows recently, don't get close to an old man wearing a white kimono, especially if he is holding a big umbrella on his head and a cane and a wine bottle in his hand."

"Why? Is that a ghost too?"

Tu Shanyue continued to explain——

"This kind of ghost, known as the White Pink Lady, usually appears as an amiable old lady and likes to deceive pretty girls."

"I've been wearing a mask, so it's okay?"

He rolled his eyes at her. Even without looking at her face, she could tell with her eyes that Mu Yi would be a very beautiful woman.

It's just that he naturally wouldn't say this.

"It's true that nothing will happen, but I think you will be cheated."

He touched Zashiki Warashi's belly. The boy spit out a large amount of water and then woke up.

Tu Shanyue let Zashiki Warashi rub his fingertips, and then said——

"When women without makeup happen to meet a white powder lady on the road, she will trick them into using a white powder she made to paint their faces, claiming that this powder can make the skin fairer and more beautiful."

Mu Yi was also very interested in what was going on. He hugged his knees and squatted next to Tu Shanyue. The two of them looked at the particularly quiet moonlight.

"So you said that white powder is drugged? Will you fall into coma after applying it?"

He chuckled disdainfully——

"The entire face of a girl who is smeared with this kind of white powder will fall off, and the white powder lady will use the girl's face for her own use, and then look for the next target!"

Even Mu Ji, who has been fighting monsters all year round, shuddered when he heard this answer.

Tu Shanyue seemed to have no intention of stopping, and Mu Yi became more and more excited.

This feeling of listening to someone telling ghost stories in the middle of the night is actually quite good!

"The ghost known as the Hand was a blind artist during his lifetime. He went to a restaurant to play the piano every day and lived on the charity of the guests. One night, when he went home with the piano and the charity he earned during the day, he was killed by a robber.

, and robbed him of his money."

Zashiki Warashi also listened with rapt attention. He followed Mu Ji's hair and lay on her head. One big and one little girl sat in front of this magnificent person, just like two students listening to the lecture.
