Realm of the Night God

As Yang Haoran opened the car door, ready to leave the Liu Family Village that had left him feeling extremely embarrassed, Xu Meijing, at this moment, called out to him.

"Stop!" Xu Meijing's voice was cold, with a hint of command.

Yang Haoran was already feeling irritated, and being addressed in this manner by Xu Meijing only added fuel to his fire. However, he didn't show it, suppressing his dissatisfaction with a forced smile as he looked at Xu Meijing.

He didn't speak; he was waiting for Xu Meijing to speak. But to his surprise, instead of speaking, Xu Meijing activated her ghost eye.

"Heh, are you really that bored? Mistaking me for a ghost?" Yang Haoran's smile was somewhat cold. After saying this, he ignored Xu Meijing, got into his car, closed the door, started the engine, and stepped on the gas pedal, disappearing in a flash.

Xu Meijing retracted her ghost eye. Yang Haoran's attitude made her expression unpleasant, but besides the displeasure, there was also a hint of confusion in her eyes.

When she suddenly activated her ghost eye on Yang Haoran just now, it wasn't to provoke him. Rather, she sensed a presence in him that didn't belong to Yin Qi.

They were both members of the Yin Division, and the power within their bodies was Yin spirit power, emitting Yin Qi. However, just now, she sensed something in Yang Haoran that didn't belong to Yin Qi.

But this presence was very faint. Although she sensed it, she couldn't be sure. That's why she stopped Yang Haoran and activated the Yin Division's unique eye technique, the ghost eye!

With the ghost eye activated, she saw the Death Mark Seal on Yang Haoran's forehead, and she also saw a strong layer of Yin Qi enveloping him. However, outside of this strong Yin Qi, there was a faint gray gas.

Yin Qi was black, but the faint gray gas on Yang Haoran clearly did not belong to Yin Qi. As for what this faint gray gas was, Xu Meijing knew—it was Corpse Qi!

"A newcomer, having undergone Soul Qi infusion only once and acting so arrogant, truly a case of 'a newly-born calf not fearing the tiger,' daring to provoke anything. While our Yin spirit power within us has strong control over spirit bodies, it won't work against zombies that are not spirits. You'll be in for a tough time." Xu Meijing watched Yang Haoran's off-road vehicle disappear from sight with a cold snort, then turned and walked toward the courtyard.

At that moment, a gray-haired old woman walked out of the building, leaning on a cane.

Seeing this, Xu Meijing quickly took out her hands from her pockets and hurried over to the old woman.

"Grandma, why did you come out?" Xu Meijing put aside her usual arrogance and asked with concern.

"You're not getting any younger, so Grandma arranged a blind date for you today. I was afraid you'd be unhappy, so I didn't tell you." Grandma Xiao smiled as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xu Meijing was first surprised, then showed a face of displeasure, complaining, "Grandma, why didn't you discuss this with me?"

Grandma Xiao's smile didn't waver as she asked, "Discuss it with you? Would you agree?"

"No!" Xu Meijing's response was firm. She didn't even hesitate, giving an extremely resolute answer.

"Exactly, Grandma knows you wouldn't agree, so I decided on my own. Grandma is doing this for your own good, don't blame Grandma." Grandma Xiao said with a smile.

Xu Meijing didn't reply, but still wore a face of complaint. She seemed extremely averse to blind dates.

Seeing Xu Meijing's reaction, Grandma Xiao continued to smile and said, "Grandma's biggest wish now is to see you marry into a good family while she's still alive. Grandma is old and afraid she won't live to see that day, so she's anxious."

At first, Xu Meijing's expression changed slightly upon hearing Grandma Xiao's words, her face showing a hint of melancholy. However, this melancholy expression didn't last long; she quickly hid it away.

"Grandma, trust me, you'll definitely live a long life." Xu Meijing smiled at Grandma Xiao.

"Hehe, stop trying to please this old lady. If you're really filial, you should settle your marriage matters sooner. Don't make this old lady wait too long. Hurry while you're still young, don't wait until you're past your prime to think about getting married. By then, it might be too late." Grandma Xiao smiled, earnestly advising Xu Meijing.

"I'm still so young, there's no relation between being past my prime and me. What's the rush?" Xu Meijing responded nonchalantly.

"There's no rush now, but when you're in a hurry, it'll be too late for everything. Don't worry, the blind date I've arranged for you this time is definitely not bad. He's a big shot, young and promising; you'll definitely like him." Grandma Xiao smiled, her face showing anticipation.

Xu Meijing originally wanted to refute, but seeing her grandma's stooped figure and the wrinkled face, she ultimately remained silent.

"It's strange, why hasn't that young man from the Yang family come yet? His mother called me early this morning, saying he was driving over. Their Yangjia Bay is right next to our village. Normally, it shouldn't take this long, even if he was driving. I hope nothing has happened to him on the way." Grandma Xiao looked outside the courtyard, her face showing a mix of puzzlement and worry.

What the speaker says unintentionally, the listener interprets intentionally. Upon hearing that today's blind date partner bears the surname Yang, Xu Meijing seemed to realize something, and her expression changed once again.

"Grandma, the young man you mentioned with the surname Yang, is his name Yang Haoran?" Xu Meijing's expression was somewhat peculiar as she asked Grandma Xiao.

"Yes, that boy is called Yang Haoran. I feel ashamed to admit that when I was talking to his mother, I was so focused on discussing your background and your virtues that I forgot to tell her your name. Surprisingly, she was more attentive, and she told me all the necessary information," Grandma Xiao said.

At this point, Grandma Xiao suddenly remembered something and looked at Xu Meijing with a puzzled expression, asking, "I didn't tell you about this, so how did you know his name is Yang Haoran?"

Grandma Xiao's words made Xu Meijing's expression become more colorful. She had thought that Yang Haoran had coincidentally appeared here sensing the Yin Qi, but she didn't expect that annoying guy to be here for a blind date, and moreover, his blind date partner was her!

"He just came here, but I've already sent him packing," Xu Meijing responded with a disdainful expression.

"What?" Grandma Xiao was astonished, then quickly asked, "He came for a blind date, why did you drive him away? You didn't even show any courtesy. If this gets out, it'll be even harder for you to get married in the future!"

"Grandma, I've known Yang Haoran for a long time. He's a hypocrite hiding behind a smile. I can't possibly go on a blind date with someone like that, so I kicked him out directly," Xu Meijing explained with certainty.

Grandma Xiao was surprised. She hadn't expected Xu Meijing to know Yang Haoran for so long, and she was even more surprised to hear Xu Meijing's low opinion of him.

"Are you telling the truth?" Grandma Xiao still found it hard to believe.

"Grandma, do you believe me or a stranger?" Xu Meijing asked straightforwardly.

"You're my granddaughter, so of course, I believe you," Grandma Xiao replied firmly.

"Believing me is the right choice. Yang Haoran is very hypocritical. Even if I don't get married in this lifetime, I will never marry a deceitful person like him," Xu Meijing affirmed.

Grandma Xiao didn't expect Xu Meijing to have such a strong opinion of this young man from the Yang family. She shook her head with a sigh and said, "Alas, I intended to find you a good family, but I didn't expect to find such a person for you. It's really hard to judge someone's character. Since this Yang family boy is so unbearable, let's forget about this blind date. Since you've already sent him away, if his mother calls to inquire, I'll say you two have met but didn't hit it off."

With a disappointed expression, Grandma Xiao, supported by Xu Meijing, walked back into the house leaning on her cane.

Seeing Grandma Xiao no longer mentioning Yang Haoran, Xu Meijing put away her disdain and disgust. She frowned and looked outside the courtyard, in the direction Yang Haoran had left earlier.

"Corpse Qi... Could that annoying guy have made some significant discovery again?"

With that thought, Xu Meijing withdrew her gaze and took the initiative to ask Grandma Xiao, "Grandma, you just mentioned that Yang Haoran is from the neighboring Yangjia Bay?"

Without much thought, Grandma Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, he's from our neighboring Yangjia Bay. Since they are close to us, I agreed to let that boy come for the blind date. This way, if you do end up liking each other, it'll be easier for you to visit me in the future, at least better than marrying someone from afar."

Seeing Grandma Xiao mentioning the blind date again, Xu Meijing felt helpless, but this time she didn't argue about it. Instead, she continued, "Grandma, has anything strange happened in Yangjia Bay recently?"

"Strange?" Grandma Xiao thought for a moment, then shook her head, saying, "I haven't heard of anything strange. But this morning, his mother called to say that his second uncle was bitten by a poisonous snake while gathering firewood on the mountain yesterday and died from poisoning. So his mother couldn't come today and sent him alone, asking me to take care of him more. But who would have thought that you knew him and... "

Grandma Xiao continued speaking, but Xu Meijing didn't listen to the rest of her words. She furrowed her brows, deep in thought.

"Bitten by a poisonous snake? At this time of the year, where did the poisonous snake come from? Died from poisoning... bitten and died from poisoning..."

As Xu Meijing pondered, she suddenly thought of the faint gray gas enveloping Yang Haoran's body outside of the Yin Qi. It seemed like she had guessed something, and her expression changed abruptly!
