en the closed courtyard gate. Strange "thunk, thunk, thunk" sounds came from inside.The air was thick with a pungent, fishy stench that made my stomach churn.In the messy yard, there were two pools of...In the south where we live, there are many mountains and rivers. Nowadays, with economic development and improved living standards, there are farmhouses, fisheries, and resorts everywhere.

Following the directions given by the Night Wanderer God, we arrived at a hot spring hotel, about a two-hour drive away.

I took a look on my phone, and this hotel is different from the ordinary. Besides having a regular hotel to welcome guests, there's also a villa area built into the mountainside that can be rented out as a whole unit.

This refers to standalone villas in an onsen resort that can be rented individually on a monthly basis. Monthly rent ranges from tens of thousands to several tens of thousands of yuan, making it a good way for wealthy people to try something new.

Because hot spring hotels are generally located in more remote areas and are tourist destinations, wealthy people wouldn't bother spending millions to buy a vacant house they wouldn't live in year-round.

My brother told me to book two standard hotel rooms on my phone. After all, it's impossible to scale the walls and get into the hot spring resort.

"Can we find out where they live" I asked hesitantly.

"Money solves everything... at worst, we can eat the loss. Don't worry about the money, I'll make it back for you." My brother said with a smile.

It's not that I mind spending money. The money was originally from our family, and my brother entrusted me with it. After Lin Yanqin came along, I suggested that my sister-in-law manage the finances, which startled my brother.

Lin Yanqin, as a young lady who has no concept of money, only knows how to spend it lavishly. Moreover, Lin Yanqin certainly wouldn't use our family's money; she uses the money her family gave her. This makes us feel guilty using her dowry.

So the finances for our small household are still managed by me, while Shen's family has millions flowing in and out every month. Just looking at the numbers each month gives me a headache.

I can't be insensitive to money matters. If the head of the household doesn't tighten their belt and cut expenses, how can they possibly run a household

I saw there was still a villa in the villa area that hadn't been rented out, so I said ruthlessly: "Why not book a villa That way you won't have to spend a lot of money trying to get closer."

This is the cheapest villa, renting for 25,000 per week and 88,000 per month.

My brother glanced at the price on his phone and muttered, "Two thousand five hundred yuan You're so worried about it... just order this one!"

I just placed an order, filled in my phone number, and immediately received a welcoming text message with details about the address, entrance gate, etc.

As the car pulled up to the hot spring hotel, two waiters in suits came out to greet them at the roadside.

My brother pressed the car window down, and one of the waiters asked, "May I ask if this is Ms. Mu's party"

These waiters were accustomed to wealthy patrons, and they weren't very enthusiastic towards us ordinary SUV drivers. Instead, there was a strange smile on both their faces.

Perhaps we should just get the cheapest villa. Even if it's pretending to be something we're not, biting the bullet and experiencing it once wouldn't hurt, right

"Ladies and gentlemen, please disembark here and take our courtesy shuttle. We will park your vehicle in the nearest indoor parking lot." said the attendant.

My brother frowned: "Can't you drive in yourself"

“Yes, to prevent unnecessary traffic accidents, all vehicles of residents in the villa district are parked in designated locations. Each villa is equipped with a dedicated electric sightseeing car for your convenience.” The servant smiled.

My brother rolled his eyes, fine, anyway we don't have much luggage.

Jiang Qiyun leisurely followed me, I got on the tour bus, and he was still gazing at the resort mountain villa in the twilight. I muttered softly: "…It's time to get on the bus."

He smiled, a smirk playing on his lips: "Go ahead. I'll take a look at the energy around here and be back in a bit."

Uh, is the atmosphere around here not good

My brother squeezed my hand, signaling me to be quiet. The two waiters were looking at me curiously.

"Are you two on your honeymoon" the waiter asked.

My brother gave me a cold stare and said, "This is my sister. Don't you think we look alike"

"Uh, sorry sorry... I didn't look carefully at night... The villa you two booked is our Qianyuan Villa. This is the most popular villa type, small and exquisite, suitable for couples or small families to come together, but the one you booked..." The waiter hesitated.

"This location isn't good, is it" my brother asked, following his lead.

“No, no, no… it’s not bad either. It’s just that this one is the most remote. Being in the mountains, the humidity here is a little heavier on the outskirts. But each room is equipped with a dehumidifier. You just need to turn it on for two hours, and it will be very dry.” said the waiter.

I don't think so, renting this kind of villa for a hot spring vacation would definitely be people who know how to have fun. Who knows if the house smells like smoke and alcohol

As the car pulled up to the smallest cottage on the edge of the property, my brother and I exchanged a silent look.

The villas surrounding us were stacked layer upon layer, climbing the mountainside. Ours, situated on the very edge of the uppermost tier.

All the other houses had lights, but this one was dark and deserted. The streetlights in front were dim, flickering on and off.

Standing at the doorstep of the villa, a wave of cold air sent shivers down my spine.

This isn't humid at all.

This is a heavy stench of death!

The waiter still wore a professional smile and handed us the password key.

“Ladies and gentlemen, our villa is cleaned daily by dedicated staff. Everything you need is provided, including food in the refrigerator which is always within its expiry date and can be used freely. If you have any special requests, each room has a bell. Ring it and a maid will come to your service.” He kept smiling and said to us from the steps of the entrance.

"I understand." I nodded. Wasn't he afraid Or did he just not feel the chill

The waiter didn't leave, continuing to say, "It only takes ten minutes to walk from the indoor to outdoor hot spring, and it only takes five minutes by sightseeing car. Both are open 24 hours..."

"Alright, you're not leaving We need to rest." I didn't want to open the door in front of normal people, lest the evil spirit rush out and harm them.

The waiter looked at me with a smile.

My brother suddenly realized, pulled out some cash, and slipped it to the waiter.

"Thank you, boss!" The waiter looked at the hundreds of dollars, this tip came really easily.

He put away his money and whispered, "Boss, here's my business card. If you need special services, you can find me. We have both male and female masseuses here. Their skills are top-notch and their attitude is excellent. They're not only skilled but also handsome and elegant, able to serve you both. Plus, the fees are reasonable."

Well, special services are quite common among the wealthy, aren't they

My brother impatiently waved his hand and said, "Get lost! We have high standards, we don't like being bothered."

The waiter stammered, hurriedly saying, "You don't like the technicians We, we also have university students, beautiful car models, and internet celebrity young models..."

My brother shoved a few red bills at me: "Get out."

The waiter took it and happily walked away with thousands.

We stood in front of this "corpse qi" filled small villa, looking at each other with amusement.

"You said you could book a room like this" My brother opened the door with a click of his key.

The stagnant air inside held the scent of our "familiarity."

Corpse gas and ghost energy are different. Ghost energy is cold and Yin, while corpse gas is putrid and decaying. There should have been a corpse here recently.

My brother pulled something out of his backpack, and I asked curiously, "What are you doing"

"Try this lamp."
