"Teacher Yang is getting married to a god today!"

"Nonsense! It's the fool wants to marry Teacher Yang, that's why he said it's a god's wedding."

"How do you know, Xiao Pang?"

"My grandma told me!"

"Xiao Pang, your grandma's dead. How could she tell you that?"

"Hahaha!"

"Liar, Xiao Pang's a little liar!"

The group of kids started wrestling around.

Shen Huo was about to look away when he saw their hands pressed flat against Xiao Pang's forehead. Their claws lengthened and thinned like thin blades, ripping the entire skin clean off the top of Xiao Pang's head.

Xiao Pang was still alive, his whole body blood-red, like a red monkey shedding skin.

The others waved around Xiao Pang's skin while Xiao Pang himself followed behind them casually, as if missing a piece of skin didn't affect him at all.

The kids held hands and sang a nursery rhyme.

"Peel off his skin, make a lantern, pick out his bones to make the frame, make a lantern!

Peel off your skin, put on my clothes.

Sending the little daughter off to marry.

Who did she marry?

She married a skin-shedding evil ghost.

Yi ya yi ya...

Hee hee hee hee—"

The children's laughter gradually grew eerie and sharp, circling around Shen Huo's ears.

As Shen Huo stared at the kids, their eyeballs rolled up so only the whites showed, staring straight at him.

"Brother, do you wanna play the skin-peeling game too? Hee hee hee—"

Xiao Pang, the one peeled, smiled at Shen Huo, then his eyeball fell out and rolled in front of him.

Xiao Pang scrambled on the ground, searching for his eyeball.

Shen Huo looked down and locked eyes with the eyeball on the ground. From his view, the eyeball's black and white parts were clear, but most of the white was filled with red blood vessels, and the blood vessel membranes were rotten and smelly, leaving only the eyeball itself.

The eyeball rolling to Shen Huo's feet gave a malicious grin.

A pair of cold little hands grabbed the corner of Shen Huo's clothes.

"Brother, did you see my eyeball? I accidentally lost it, and I can't find it."

Meanwhile, the eyeball at Shen Huo's feet still wore a malicious smile.

Viewers in the livestream chat:

[Ahhh!]

[What the hell? The eyeball, the eyeball moves!]

[This is too real, there's no way it's fake! Shen Huo, Shen Huo isn't gonna die there, right?!]

[Help! What the hell is this?!]

[That Xiao Pang's skin was peeled off, how is he still alive? So freaking scary!]

The livestream viewers were scared just watching through the screen, let alone Shen Huo who was actually there.

But Shen Huo himself didn't feel scared. His mind was clear.

This was the illusion of the headless ghost bride. If she needed help, she wouldn't let anything inside her illusion hurt him.

Shen Huo took a deep breath, bent down, and picked up the eyeball to give to the kids.

The moment he touched the eyeball, Shen Huo shivered.

To be honest, the eyeball felt weird—like squeezing a water-filled balloon, soft and squishy, with some slimy tissue sticking to his hand.

He even felt the eyeball spinning as he touched it, making cold sweat break out on his back.

"Here."

He placed the eyeball in the kid's palm.

Xiao Pang stopped grinning maliciously and tilted his head, curiously staring at him.

"What's up?"

Feeling the curious gaze of the kid, Shen Huo quickly asked.

Xiao Pang said innocently, "Brother, you don't seem scared of me?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that?"

Xiao Pang put his eyeball back into his eye socket.

Shen Huo's smile, which had been gentle toward the kids, stiffened slightly.

Xiao Pang muttered to himself, "The brothers and sisters who came in before were all really scared of me."

A flash of insight hit Shen Huo's mind. He squatted down to look the little kid in the eye.

"Hey kid, I want to ask you a question."

Xiao Pang's friends gathered around. They also felt like their prank wasn't working on this adult, so with curiosity, they came closer, without any intention to hurt Shen Huo.

"What do you want to ask?"

Seeing this, Shen Huo realized he had their attention and quickly asked,

"I want to ask, who is this Teacher Yang you mentioned? And where did the brothers and sisters who came before go?"

The kids all started babbling at once.

Although their speech was jumbled, Shen Huo still picked up some info.

Turns out the bride's name was Yang Yiyi, a university student who came to teach in the village.

She was confident and beautiful, and her arrival immediately caught the attention of many young and able men.

But there were two university students who came to teach: one was Yang Yiyi, and the other was called Zhou Meng.

They were originally very close friends, and it was Zhou Meng's idea to come teach together.

Their goal was pretty ambitious—they wanted to help the kids in the mountains get out of the mountains.

Their dream was big, but the reality was tough.

They picked the most remote southwestern mountain area, where transportation was difficult and the village's teaching equipment was seriously lacking.

In fact, this village was the poorest and most isolated among the nearby villages.

Also, the village was made up of one clan sharing the same surname, with many strict rules and quite conservative ideas.

Male dominance and female inferiority were widely believed in the village, which was a big challenge for the two female teachers.

The village elders were uneducated and deeply stuck in feudal thinking, believing:

How could women teach?

They'd only mess up farming in the mountains.

Since the two girls arrived, many able-bodied young men were distracted, often fishing two days and resting three, which made the elders think the girls were shady fox spirits!

The kids remembered clearly that while classes were going on, some aunts and older women would storm the classroom, disrupting lessons.

Later, their parents wouldn't let them attend class anymore, saying the teachers didn't teach properly and only taught suspicious stuff.

The kids put their hands on their hips, mocking their parents' expressions, pointing fingers into the air.

From their childish words, Shen Huo could feel how deep the parents' prejudice was against the two female teachers.
