In just one day, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly felt that some strange changes had taken place in her world.
At least she had never experienced such a situation that what she did would become known to everyone within just one day.
No one pays attention to the lives of ordinary people.
When Yuan Yuanyuan went out, she heard some monsters vaguely discussing this matter.
She turned her head and gave them a strange look, but was noticed. They looked at her with an even stranger look, so Yuan Yuanyuan quickly turned her head back.
She felt strange all the way, and when she finally arrived at the door of the shop, she took out her key, opened the door, went into the house, and quickly locked the door to isolate herself from the monsters on the street.
They probably don't know exactly where Yuan lives...
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the empty house and thought so. Yuan had always been a person who was isolated from the main crowd. What the head of the Li family said to her that day made her more certain of this.
She looked at the monsters passing by one after another on the street. They were wearing clothes that were never seen in normal times. Those clothes were mostly gorgeous and weird.
These monsters appear as shadowy silhouettes on the street, appearing and disappearing quickly, leaving only their vague backs, like a charming girl who suddenly looks back.
"They must have dressed up specially." Yuan Yuanyuan thought seriously while lying in front of the window.
Why did she think so? Because they were not usually so flirty...
Yuan Yuanyuan leaned forward again and saw the lady who usually sold pancakes to monsters on the street. She had also changed into very formal clothes and had her hair tied up with several expensive-looking hairpins on her head.
She was still hawking her pancakes, surrounded by a group of children with animal heads or tails.
It was the first time that Yuan Yuanyuan saw this lady. She had no idea what kind of monster she was, but she usually dressed very simply and looked like a normal human lady selling pancakes. Sometimes, some humans with strong spiritual energy would accidentally walk to her stall, and she would kindly sell them pancakes.
Sometimes Yuan Yuanyuan would forget that she was a monster.
This was Yuan Yuanyuan's entire impression of her. However, when she saw this old lady again today, Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized for the first time that this old lady was a monster.
I feel like this lady is just like one of those mysterious monster ladies who suddenly appears on the roadside in stories about monsters... Why didn't I think she was so cool before
Or... why didn't I realize that these monsters are so cool
Will those people who have bought pancakes from the old lady come here one day and find she is missing, and then tell others about this as a supernatural event
If Yuan Yuanyuan goes out now and meets someone by chance, after seeing Yuan Yuanyuan, will he realize that she is a monster and then tell others about it
It feels... quite interesting.
This kind of thing is quite like Schrödinger's cat, full of uncertainty and absurdity...
If a person turns into a monster, will he still feel novel about the monster world
If a person still does not feel novel about the world of monsters, is he still a person
When a person is a human being, he is so curious about everything about monsters and is full of infinite imagination. But when he has a deep understanding of monsters, will he still be like this
Yuan Yuanyuan was lying on the window, and she suddenly realized something.
—From a human perspective, looking at these monsters, the scene in front of us should be very interesting and amazing.
A long time ago, Yuan Yuanyuan herself was also like that. She liked those enchanting and mysterious things. When she first became a monster, she once lay by the window for a whole night, shocked by the sky she had never seen before.
…but it seemed like she hadn’t been mesmerized by a similar sight in a long time.
When Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly realized what was happening, she raised her head abruptly and looked towards the sky. There happened to be a group of monsters flying by, leaving behind a puff of light purple mist.
She found that her heart seemed inexplicably empty.
For some reason, Yuan Yuanyuan lay by the window and watched for half an hour, until the mirror on her chest began to vibrate, and then she came to her senses.
She lowered her head and saw that it was a message from the woman in white whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
That day, when she was knocking on the window gently outside and calling Yuan Yuanyuan, Yuan Yuanyuan vaguely felt that this man should be the city lord's man. She, and the man with an attractive voice but for some reason making her want to punch him, the two of them should be in the same group.
The city lord had sent someone to wait for her at the gate, saying that he wanted to have a good chat with her during the Hundred Demons Festival. Yuan Yuanyuan thought that the time was about right, and sure enough, they sent a message today.
The message said that a horse-drawn carriage would arrive in front of Yuan Yuanyuan's shop tomorrow at around 7 p.m. Yuan Yuanyuan thought that these people were quite sincere, not giving her an address that she couldn't find and letting her find her way there by herself.
Yuan Yuanyuan set three alarms for six o'clock, then put the matter aside and continued to look outside with her head raised.
She lay there like this until Liu An rushed in happily, holding a few candied haws in his hand and shouting, "Boss..."
Liu An's voice died down in the end. He looked at Yuan Yuanyuan's posture and asked, "Boss, what are you doing?"
"I..." Yuan Yuanyuan pondered for a second, "I am trying to put myself into the human mindset and experience the beauty of this scene of demons dancing wildly in front of me in the eyes of humans."
"..." Liu An bit off a hawthorn, "Boss, your hobby is quite unique. I always feel like you are up to something bad."
"That's right, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will ensure victory in every battle." Yuan Yuanyuan jumped down from the window, "What are you eating? Give me one."
"Oh, right." Liu An suddenly remembered why he rushed back in such a hurry. He said excitedly: "Boss, a group of beautiful monsters came to East Street! They are all girls! I saw Tang Shi among them!"
"Tang poetry?" Yuan Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment.
"Yes." Liu An's expression was particularly happy. "They were all dressed very beautifully. Tang Shi was also dressed very beautifully. When they walked on the street, they all seemed to be students from nearby."
Liu An, a straight man, seems to have no other words to describe girls except beautiful...
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about Tang Shi's school uniform and her plain face, but she couldn't imagine what she would look like after dressing up. Liu An's description was so poor that it really couldn't stimulate her imagination.
However, looking at Liu An's expression, it is probably very different from his usual Tang poetry, otherwise he would not be so excited.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at Liu An and didn't expect him to be so excited. Although he saw an acquaintance, he was so excited. This was completely different from his usual self, which made Yuan Yuanyuan find it a little funny.
Liu An was still trying to seduce her to watch it together, saying: "Tang Shi is so beautiful today." Yuan Yuanyuan suddenly interrupted him, "You are so excited... just like me when I first saw the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. How old are you now?"
Liu An's words were interrupted all of a sudden. Yuan Yuanyuan looked at him with a look of shock on her face, and her face suddenly turned red from her forehead to her neck.
She glared at Liu An for a long time, wondering if it was because I was too shy or this kid was too shy... What did I just say to make him so embarrassed
Anyway, no matter how lazy Yuan Yuanyuan was, she was still dragged out by Liu An and walked on the street.
Yuan Yuanyuan was quite embarrassed when she went out. In fact, she has always had an autistic attitude towards the monster world. She was mainly afraid of being laughed at by monsters, so she seldom participated in such large occasions... Of course, if there was someone who could accompany her, or if she didn't have to show up in public, she would feel much better.
But walking on the street... still gave her a very bad feeling, especially the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons... To put it bluntly, this thing was meant to be seen by others, and when a bunch of people were staring at her, she felt that she might not be able to hold on.
When she was dragged out, she kept mumbling, "I'm like this... How about changing clothes or something? Don't I look a little too shabby?... Will people look down on me?"
Liu An nodded after hearing this, then turned around and went back into the store. Within three minutes, he came out with a piece of clothing. Yuan Yuanyuan's eyes widened as she saw it. "Fuck, where did you get this from? You won't let me wear this, will you? I'd rather die than..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu An forced her clothes on. He also told her seriously that she should not say unlucky words during the Chinese New Year and asked her to spit three times. After Yuan Yuanyuan spitted three times, she said, "But..."
"Don't worry, Tang Shi and the others will be walking on that street soon."
Yuan Yuanyuan stood at the door, and suddenly she didn't want to go out anymore. She leaned against the door frame and said timidly, "Why don't we not go... That thing is there every year, or Tang Shi will come back and let her wear it."
"Oh, it's different when you see it with your own eyes. It's spectacular over there. And, boss, why didn't you go out for a single day during the New Year?" Liu An tried his best to pull him out.
Yuan Yuanyuan wanted to retort that people don't go out during the Chinese New Year, but when she thought about it, it didn't seem right. While she was thinking about it, she was dragged out by Liu An.
As she took the first step out of the door, she felt herself completely frozen. For a moment, she didn't know which leg to move... Fortunately, there were not many monsters on the street in front of her at this time. They probably ran over there to watch the fun.
"Why are Tang Shi and the others walking on the ground? Aren't the Night Parade of One Hundred Ghosts usually held in the sky?" Yuan Yuanyuan was trying to distract Liu An by making small talk. "They must be trying some new tricks. It seems like the students really like it."
Yuan Yuanyuan was wearing a pair of cotton shoes. Fortunately, the coat Liu An chose for her was very long... It covered her feet and dragged a little. If she didn't lift the hem of her coat, no one could see what her feet looked like, right...
Yuan Yuanyuan cursed Liu An in her heart, then turned around and saw that this guy was smiling like a flower, looking around with curiosity.
A woman wearing a rather large skirt, who looked like a resurrected noblewoman, passed by them. Yuan Yuanyuan didn't react at all, so he grabbed her and yelled at her, asking her to follow him.
A few little monsters who were not very good at transforming ran over, dragging their long tails, and some of them even had small ears. They grabbed Yuan Yuanyuan and howled again.
His howling made Yuan Yuanyuan a little confused.
Is it so... interesting...
Yuan Yuanyuan walked on the street, her steps still so stiff.
But for some reason, she seemed to... gradually become a little happier...
They walked all the way to East Street, getting closer and closer. Before they passed by, Yuan Yuanyuan heard beautiful singing coming from over there.
The song was very long, an ancient tune with a gentle ending, and it was sung by a young girl.
As they walked over, they saw a group of girls walking on the street.
Everyone was wearing gauze-like clothes, with weird makeup on, and walking slowly to the music.
Yuan Yuanyuan turned around and just happened to see a beautiful monster girl looking in this direction.
She saw Yuan Yuanyuan stunned, then suddenly covered her mouth that was painted as cherry lips, her eyes slightly curved and her eyes moved.
A face full of demonic patterns, like a blooming demonic flower.
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at her without moving. Every movement of the girl seemed to have rhythm, following the beat of the chanting without a single wrong beat.
She turned her head away slowly, leaving only a tall and enchanting back to Yuan Yuanyuan and Liu An.
“… Wow, boss, she smiled at you.” After a while, the demented Liu An next to him patted Yuan Yuanyuan.
"No, she is talking to you." Yuan Yuanyuan slapped him back.
As soon as they finished talking, they saw Tang Shi.
She was also wearing that kind of gauze-like clothes, with demonic patterns spreading across her face. Walking in the team, she looked completely different from her usual appearance.
