Translator: 549690339

The quiet Lantern Woman was digging through the mud, muttering to herself like a crazed lunatic.

This time, Zhao Huai decided to inquire about the Lantern Woman’s past and try to get some information from her.

He cleared his throat and said, “Hello…”

Just as Zhao Huai started speaking, the Lantern Woman, who was squatting on the ground, stood up, and the lantern on the ground flew up into her hand.

Turning around, the Lantern Woman walked step by step towards Zhao Huai, her eyes glowing with a faint red light.

The flame inside the white lantern flickered unsteadily.

I haven’t finished yet…” Zhao Huai said, quite speechless.

Before I could even start speaking, she transforms?

The Lantern Woman looked eerily bizarre, her appearance no longer as fresh and beautiful as before.

“Have you seen… my… husband?”

Her voice became intermittent and hoarse, reminiscent of an angered roar of a large man.

This time, Zhao Huai saw clearly how she “transformed”: her mouth gradually lengthened and split open, her eyes shrunk like a contortion, and her fingers slowly grew long and sharp.

Zhao Huai could feel a foul-smelling wind emanating from her, and he knew that if he didn’t say something soon, the Lantern Woman would go berserk.

Unfazed by the nightmarish scene, Zhao Huai smiled: “I think I know where your husband might be.”

Upon hearing this, the Lantern Woman obviously hesitated, her hoarse voice stuttered:

“Really…really?”

Zhao Huai nodded, “I already have some ideas. If you cooperate with me, we might find your husband. ”

“Before that, you should return to your original appearance.”

After listening, the Lantern Woman fell silent for several seconds, finally relenting.

“Okay.”

In an instant, the Lantern Woman returned to her previous fresh, beautiful appearance, and the lantern turned back to white.

Her white skirt fluttered, her eyes bright, and her smile radiant, exuding the elegance of an elegant young lady.

Zhao Huai realized that he had found the right approach. Instead of constantly fighting, he might as well try to outmaneuver her first.

“If I can find my husband, I’ll do anything you want,” the Lantern Woman said earnestly.

“Really?” Zhao Huai raised his eyebrow.

The Lantern Woman looked pitiful, gently nodding her head.

“Then tell me what happened after you went out to look for your husband.”

Zhao Huai had a clear goal. If he could find the source of the Lantern Woman’s resentment, perhaps he could effortlessly resolve the trouble.

So it was crucial to learn as much as possible about her experiences.

With her head lowered, the Lantern Woman thought for a moment. “I remember walking through the mountains for a long time, being very tired, and one night, it was so dark that I almost lost my way. But I was worried for my husband’s safety, as he hadn’t sent me a letter for three months.” “I gritted my teeth and persisted until I reached the state. Then, I discovered…”

As she spoke, the Lantern Woman’s expression turned wrong, as if she was in great pain.

Moreover, the flame in her white lantern swayed unsteadily as if it would go out at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Huai realized he had finally hit a blind spot.

If he could figure out what happened to the Lantern Woman after she arrived in the state and county, everything would be easily solved.

“I discovered that my husband had betrayed me…”

Finally, the Lantern Woman uttered these words, but by then, her voice had once again become hoarse.

Zhao Huai knew that things were not going well.

At the moment, dealing with her resentment seemed difficult.
