I opened a shop on the Astral Train-Chapter 62

Guinevere and Su Shang rushed to hide behind Xue Yi, clinging to her like frightened rabbits huddling in a nest.

"Judge, save me! There's a ghost!" Guinevere cried, tears streaming down her face as she latched onto Xue Yi's leg.

Xue Yi shook her leg hard, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't shake off Guinevere.

Hu Tao and Kevin, who had been chasing after them, spotted Xue Yi and her group from a distance.

Hu Tao raised her hands to her eyes like a makeshift telescope. "These people dress so gloomily~ Tsk tsk."

Kevin nodded in agreement. The little fox girl looked weak and adorable, but the two women standing next to her were another story. Their ghostly makeup really added to the eerie vibe.

"Yeah, I see what you mean."

As the two of them debated the fashion choices, Xue Yi finally pried Guinevere off her leg and stormed toward them.

"You two—stop! This is the Ten Kings' forbidden zone! Surrender immediately!"

Kevin's eyes widened. "Not good! Hu Tao, we gotta run! She's definitely Luofu law enforcement!"

Without hesitation, Kevin grabbed Hu Tao's wrist, and the two bolted.

Sparks and lightning flickered in their wake as they dashed away, only to nearly collide with Ying, March 7th, and Paimon, who had been trailing behind them.

March 7th frowned in confusion. "What are you two doing? Why are you running back?"

Kevin barely had time to explain. "March! Run first! I'll tell you later!"

Seeing Kevin and Hu Tao in full retreat, March 7th, Ying, and Paimon exchanged glances—then quickly followed suit.

Minutes later, they successfully escaped from Suiyuan and lost themselves in the bustling streets.

Xue Yi, who had chased them to the entrance, was forced to abandon the pursuit. There were still other trespassers to deal with.

She turned back to where she had left Guinevere and Su Shang, who still looked shaken.

Xue Yi folded her arms. "The ones chasing you weren't ghosts. They were people."

Guinevere and Su Shang stared at her in disbelief.

"No way! I saw a white ghost with my own eyes!" Guinevere protested, recalling the terrifying sight—an eerie white figure emerging from behind Su Shang.

Hanya pulled out a phone, activated the surveillance system, and played back the footage for them.

The screen showed the truth: Hu Tao, Kevin, and a large creature suddenly appearing. Guinevere gawked in realization—she'd been played.

Hanya, seeing their understanding dawn, spoke firmly. "You two should leave. This is a restricted area. Don't trespass again."

With that, Xue Yi escorted them out of Suiyuan.

At the entrance, Guinevere and Su Shang processed what had happened.

"I can't believe it wasn't a ghost but those two messing with us!" Su Shang fumed.

Guinevere sighed. "Luofu is huge. How are we supposed to find them?"

Su Shang thought for a moment. They didn't have the authority to access surveillance beyond what Hanya had shown them. Their only option was to wander around and hope for a chance encounter.

"We'll just have to look for them," she decided.

Guinevere had no better plan, so she nodded. "Alright, let's do it."

Meanwhile, Kevin, Hu Tao, Ying, and March 7th were enjoying snacks at a bustling food stall.

Kevin and Hu Tao were having a blast, still reveling in their prank.

Hu Tao bit into a piece of stinky tofu, grinning. "Hehe, today was amazing. We had fun and got good food too!"

Kevin laughed. "Right? This Tofu is so good...I need more...March give me some..."

March 7th's mouth was full before and so, her response was merely a bunch of muffled noises.

Kevin smirked at this display until suddenly...

A sudden voice had emerged!

"Aha! Caught you at last!"

Kevin turned and saw Guinevere and Su Shang standing before them. His stomach dropped.

Before he could react, Su Shang lunged, grabbing him by the shoulder. "Where do you think you're going?"

On the other side, Guinevere had seized Hu Tao.

Su Shang glanced at Ying and March 7th, who remained passive. "Are you two with them?"

Ying quickly answered, "Yes, but we had nothing to do with this! It was all their idea!"

Guinevere believed her—after all, the surveillance footage hadn't shown Ying or March 7th.

Glaring at Hu Tao, Guinevere huffed. "You two are terrible! You pretended to be ghosts to scare us!"

Hu Tao scratched the back of her head, giving a sheepish chuckle. "Oops~ My bad. I apologize, alright? I'm actually a big fan of yours! I watched your live stream yesterday!"

Guinevere blinked. "Wait... really?"

Seeing her hesitate, Hu Tao pressed on. "Yep! I love your streams! So when I saw you in Suiyuan, I couldn't resist joining in on the fun."

Guinevere softened a little. The scare from yesterday's stream had been a hit with her audience—it made sense someone would try to recreate the thrill.

Su Shang crossed her arms. "Hmph. Well, Fenfen, guess you're lucky to have such dedicated fans."

Kevin raised his hand. "To be fair, we didn't go to Suiyuan just to scare you. We wanted to explore, too."

Hu Tao nodded. "That's right! We had no idea you'd be there."

Guinevere and Su Shang exchanged glances. It was true—they hadn't told anyone they'd be returning to Suiyuan.

"So you were exploring, too?" Guinevere mused, realization dawning.

Hu Tao and Kevin nodded earnestly.

A new idea sparked in Guinevere's mind. These two were strong. If they teamed up, their chances of making it through Suiyuan would be even better.

Guinevere leaned in, lowering her voice. "Alright... do you two still want some excitement?"
