Chapter 1150 — Inadvertent Cooperation: Had He Run into the Legendary Ghost Wall, with the Tent Conjured by the Female Ghost Herself Rather Than Gu Mengyao's, and Had He Been in Her Clutches All Along, Never Escaping for a Single Moment?

At the very thought of it, Su Taizao's face went white with terror, and he reeled around and stumbled out of the tent, screaming at the top of his lungs as he took off in the direction of An Jianwen's tent!

He had genuinely been scared half to death. Poor Su Taizao had always been prone to wetting the bed, and under the unbroken string of frights he had wet his trousers again!

"A ghost — there's a ghost!" Waving his arms wildly, Su Taizao ran and ran for all he was worth.

"Ha ha ha ha!" Shen Yushu watched Su Taizao come bolting out of the tent and clutched her belly in helpless laughter. "Looks like Sister Yunyun played along beautifully — Su Taizao is probably about scared to death! Sister Yaoyao, you and Sister Tang Yun really cooperated with me perfectly!"

Gu Mengyao did not know whether to laugh or cry. It had always been Feng Xiaoxiao who helped Shen Yushu with her pranks before, yet this time she and Tang Yun had, without the slightest intention of it, lent the girl a hand and made a proper fool of Su Taizao!

"All right, let's go and see how Tang Yun is doing!" Gu Mengyao shook her head in resignation and set off toward the tent.

But just then, Tang Yun was every bit as baffled by Su Taizao's behavior. He had bolted out of the tent, and she had followed him out; she failed to catch sight of Su Taizao, but she did see Yaoyao and Xiaoshu walking back.

"Yaoyao, Xiaoshu, you're back!" Tang Yun breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of them. "I think Su Taizao was just here. Did you see him? Why was he carrying on like a madman — as if he'd run into a ghost?"

Tang Yun's utter confusion set Shen Yushu off into a roar of laughter!

"Ha ha, Sister Tang Yun, tell me, do we look like ghosts to you?" Shen Yushu asked with a grin.

"Us?" Tang Yun stared. Then she glanced at Gu Mengyao's and Shen Yushu's getup, and at her own, and could not help saying: "Xiaoshu, you don't mean to tell me that Su Taizao took the three of us for ghosts?"

"Yep, that's exactly how it happened!" Shen Yushu nodded.

"Good heavens!" Tang Yun slapped her forehead. "How can he be such an idiot?"

"Hee hee, no idea. But thank you, Sister Tang Yun, for playing the ghost with me!" Shen Yushu said.

Tang Yun could only feel a measure of helpless amusement. By nature she was not the sort of girl who liked to roughhouse; she could never go about pranking people all day long the way Shen Yushu did — that had never been her idea of a good time. It was only today, without knowing what she was doing, that she had done Shen Yushu a good turn.

Still, Tang Yun found nothing objectionable in it. After all, it had deepened their bond, and that was a fine thing. She used to be a guarded, wary sort of person and so had never had many friends — only Liu Xinwen and Xiaofen, which made her rather like the young miss in that respect.

So now that Tang Yun got along well with Chen Mengyan and Shen Yushu, she hoped this friendship between them would last. It was a rare and precious thing; once they grew older and stepped into the world, such pure friendship, untouched by any self-interest, would be very hard to find again.

Meanwhile, An Jianwen could sit still no longer and had already come scrambling out of his own tent. He had been waiting for Su Taizao to dress up as a ghost and frighten Gu Mengyao, so that he could rush in and play the hero. He had it all worked out: Wei Zhao was off canoodling with Feng Xiaoxiao — who on earth had time to spare for Gu Mengyao and her friends? This was the moment for a real man like himself to prove useful. Even if nothing whatsoever happened between him and Gu Mengyao that night, it would still draw them closer together.

But the moment Su Taizao went out, for reasons unknown he suddenly started bellowing about ghosts, and An Jianwen's heart sank. Is this what you call playing a ghost? A ghost shouting that there is a ghost? Who on earth is going to be scared of you now?

The more An Jianwen thought about it, the angrier he grew. He spun around, burst out of his tent, and ran toward Gu Mengyao's, fuming inwardly the whole way: that Su Taizao was more hindrance than help — more trouble than he was worth. What kind of ghost was he supposed to be playing now? The whole scheme had gone down the drain!

He had not gone far before he saw Su Taizao charging toward him at extraordinary speed. Before An Jianwen could even get his wits about him, Su Taizao had thrown himself bodily onto him!

"Brother An! You scared me half to death — there's a ghost, a powerful female ghost who can teleport!" Su Taizao seized An Jianwen and would not let go, as if he had found his savior, showing no intention of releasing him even a little.

"You — what are you doing? You're crushing me!" An Jianwen flew into a rage and tried to shove Su Taizao off him!

Gu Mengyao, Shen Yushu, and Tang Yun heard the commotion and hurried over to see what on earth had happened!

Over on the other side, Wei Zhao and Feng Xiaoxiao were startled by the noise outside as well. The two of them came out of their tent and ran toward the spot where the trouble was.

"Brother An, you scared me to death! There's a ghost — there's a ghost here! Let's get out of here!" Su Taizao wailed, his face a mask of misery.

"A ghost? Where's a ghost? Didn't I tell you to go play a ghost? Instead of playing one, what are you doing out here caterwauling like this?" An Jianwen bellowed in a fury.

"I meant to go play the ghost! But maybe my behavior angered a real ghost, because I ran into one right there on the road, and she was terrifying — chalk-white face, white robes, tongue hanging out, wailing uuu uuu uuu, absolutely horrifying!" Su Taizao said. "And that female ghost could teleport. She was right behind me, but I ran a few steps forward only to find her standing ahead of me again! This ghost is something else — she can teleport! Before I could even make out what had happened, she swooshed straight in front of me. Scared me half to death!"

"What kind of gibberish is this? What female ghost?" An Jianwen listened to Su Taizao's rambling nonsense and flew into a towering rage!

"There really was one, Brother An — you have no idea! So afterwards I thought, this female ghost is far too powerful, I'd better take shelter in Gu Mengyao's tent. Let people laugh at me, I don't care. So I ran into Gu Mengyao's tent — but guess what, Brother An? I ran into a ghost wall again!" Su Taizao said in terror. "Sitting right there inside Gu Mengyao's tent was a female ghost — she had somehow got into the tent as well! When I went in, I could swear I had clearly seen her standing outside. But the moment I stepped inside, there she was. Tell me, isn't it obvious that all of it was conjured up by that ghost? Absolutely terrifying!"

No sooner had Su Taizao finished speaking than a burst of laughter rang out — it was Shen Yushu and Feng Xiaoxiao. RO
