"Umm umm umm..." Xiao Lan didn't speak, just continuously shook her head, making "umm" noises from her mouth.
"Speak up! Why are you haunting us!" My eyes bulged even larger, and I gripped the chopsticks even tighter. Actually, my eyes were somewhat sore from staring so hard, but in order to intimidate her, I had no choice.
"How can she talk with her mouth covered?" Ke Xin, who was standing by, spoke up and also gave me a look of contempt. Her comment made my face flush with embarrassment. Indeed, I was too nervous. How could she speak with her mouth covered? Especially since, at this moment, she was no longer just a spirit.
I glanced at Qian Wang, somewhat sheepishly, but he had already casually backed away and was staring at the ceiling, acting as if he had nothing to do with the situation.
