As soon as she entered the room, what came into view was a loft with red bricks and green tiles. In front of the loft was a wide avenue. The shops on the road were all lit up, and the smoke was like a starry city in heaven. Tang Mumu rubbed her eyes and looked again. She was extremely shocked. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that there was such a magical place in the world.

Rong Yan had already looked around the surroundings and remembered every blade of grass. One always has to pay more attention to unfamiliar environments.

"Is this the ghost market? I almost suspected I was dreaming, it's too beautiful."

Tang Mumu pinched Rong Yan's arm hard, and the next moment Rong Yan decisively pulled his arm back.

"If you want to pinch someone, pinch yourself. You are not dreaming. Go and familiarize yourself with the layout first."

Rong Yan dragged Tang Mumu forward. If he didn't know that this was a ghost market, he would have thought that this was no different from an ordinary night market. The ghost vendors did not look like ferocious and evil monsters. They were not much different from ordinary vendors, but the items they sold were uncommon.

"Once you enter the Ghost Market, you can't get out without leaving something behind. Be prepared." Rong Yan bent down and whispered in Tang Mumu's ear.

Tang Mumu suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if wind was blowing through her limbs and bones, making her heart tighten. How could these words sound so scary when they came from Rong Yan's mouth?

"Leave what behind?"

"I don't know. It depends on your own ability."

"If I don't have the ability, you won't leave my life behind, right?"

Rong Yan looked Tang Mumu up and down. Tang Mumu felt uneasy when he looked at her. Then she looked at him and nodded.

"Don't look at me like that, it's scary."

"Your life is the most valuable thing in your body."

"That's not true. I have a lot of valuable places on my body."

Not only is her life valuable, her poisonous insect is also valuable.

"Don't think too much about it, go to the inn and put your bag away first."

"Still need to stay in an inn? There are inns in this ghost market? Do you mean we can't get the blood gardenia quickly?"

"There is an inn in the Ghost Market called Ji Le. Guests staying there can find companions there. Outside are all people from the Ghost Market. You may not even know when you died."

"Can people in the ghost market kill people for no reason?"

"I don't know. I've never been here before. But the ghost market is so mysterious, there must be rules that outsiders don't know about. I think as long as we don't break their rules, nothing will happen."

Tang Mumu swallowed her saliva. She had underestimated the ghost market before coming here. Fortunately, there were shadows under the feet of the passers-by.

Tang Mumu walked closely next to Rong Yan. The ghost market really had all kinds of things for sale. She even had the illusion that the two of them were mixed in with a group of ghosts and were about to be taken away to be reincarnated.

"That... is that a human eye?" Tang Mumu accidentally saw a vendor and the thing in the water looked familiar. If she was not mistaken, it was really a human eye.

"Yes, in the ghost market, you can buy anything you want."

Tang Mumu plucked up the courage to take another look, her stomach churning, and she quickly ran to the side of the street, bent over and retched.

Rong Yan frowned and patted her back. She couldn't stand it anymore. What should she do in the next few days? Selling human body parts was just the most common business in the ghost market. The ghost market they saw now was just the tip of the iceberg.

Tang Mumu's legs felt a little weak. Fortunately, she didn't eat much in the morning, otherwise she would have felt even worse.

"No...it's okay, I just need to rest for a while."

Rong Yan helped Tang Mumu to a teahouse nearby to rest. After a while, someone came out to greet them, and the two had no choice but to order another pot of tea.

Having just retched, Tang Mumu poured a cup of tea and drank it directly when it arrived. He vomited it out just after drinking a little.

"What is this? Why does it taste so strange? It's a bit oily and has a bloody smell. I've never tasted tea like this before."

Tang Mumu looked carefully at the liquid in the teacup. It did not look like tea. Instead, it looked like some greasy liquid, which was red in color. As if he had thought of something, Tang Mumu's scalp suddenly went numb.

"Isn't this blood?"

The ghost dealer was speechless. These two people didn't know that good things should not be wasted. It took him a lot of effort to get what the girl just spit out.

"Girl, if you don't like it, just don't drink it. You know how much effort it takes me to make this tea. It's such a waste."

The ghost dealer was wiping the wooden table with an unhappy look on his face. When Tang Mumu heard the word "refining", the uncomfortable feeling in her heart came up again.

"Refine? Refine what?"

"You are so funny, girl. You come to drink tea without knowing this. Of course it is corpse oil. It took me a lot of effort to spit out that mouthful you just spit out."

Tang Mumu felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, and his whole body became numb.

"So... so this tea of ​​yours is made from corpse oil and human blood? Is this what you all drink here?"

"Of course, this is top-quality tea, and it's only available in my teahouse. You won't find this good stuff in other small shops."

Tang Mumu wanted to vomit, so she quickly stood up and squatted aside to vomit, but because there was nothing in her stomach, she couldn't vomit anything. The ghost seller in the teahouse thought that he had met people who didn't know how to appreciate good tea, and he spoke out to drive them away.

The general situation of the ghost market has been found out. Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, Rong Yan decided to go back to the inn first.

"No, my legs are really weak. Whenever I think about what I just drank, I want to stab myself. Please let me rest for a while. I can't walk anymore."

Tang Mumu simply sat cross-legged on the ground, and her little face turned pale.

Rong Yan squatted down in front of her. Tang Mumu was about to ask him what he was going to do when she heard Rong Yan say, "Since you are so pitiful, come up and I will carry you back."

I thought Tang Mumu was going to say a few polite words, but Rong Yan had already laid on top of me as soon as he finished speaking. Only his two hands had enough strength to strangle Rong Yan's neck, and the rest of his body was limp.

Rong Yan curled his lips helplessly, picked the person up on his back and walked back slowly.

"Your Highness, you are still okay. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do. This ghost market is too scary. We must find a way to get the blood gardenia as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that I will have evil intentions and run away."

She wanted to leave as soon as she arrived at the ghost market. If she stayed a few more days, she might really think about running away.

Rong Yan was amused by her words. This girl actually wanted to escape.

"Aren't you afraid that if you escape, your father will take you back and chop off your head and hang it on the palace gate for everyone to see?"

Tang Mumu's whole body was drooping on Rong Yan's back. Rong Yan could even feel the warmth from Tang Mumu's body. His heart tightened involuntarily, and he put more strength into his hands around her.

Tang Mumu laid on Rong Yan's shoulder, closed her eyes and shook her head, "I'll run away first. If I can't escape, I'll beg my father to kill me. This ghost market is not a place for humans to stay. It's too scary. They even dared to drink corpse oil. They are simply not human."
