After finishing the bumper cars, Chen Xi pointed at the roller coaster not far away and said with a smile, "Uncle, I want to ride that."

Yan Feng listened to the endless screams around him, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, and gently rubbed her little head with a kind expression, "Little Xi, you don't want to ride that."

"I do..."

"No, you don't."

Chen Xi pouted and retorted, "Uncle, are you scared?"

Gulp, that was the sound of a certain man swallowing nervously.

"How could that be?" Yan Feng pointed to his own face, though his finger was trembling, he said firmly, "I'm a 28-year-old man, how could I be afraid of a roller coaster!? You're underestimating me too much!"

Chen Xi didn't say anything, just stared at him with eyes full of doubt.

"Alright, I am scared..." Yan Feng admitted helplessly. He couldn't change this flaw; whenever he saw that face resembling his sister's, all his refusals would vanish.

Now he was the one pleading with her.

The man turned his head to the side, coughed twice, and with a slightly embarrassed expression and a much softer voice, said, "Can we not do that... I've ridden it before and have a psychological shadow..."

Chen Xi laughed.

She suddenly found teasing Yan Feng like this, seeing him plead with her, more fun than any game.

"Okay." The young girl nodded, looking at the man who sighed in relief, then pointed to a more secluded area, "Then let's go play that!"

Hearing this, Yan Feng rarely felt relieved. As long as it wasn't the roller coaster, even the Ferris wheel was something he could reluctantly accept...

Until he saw the direction she pointed to, a conspicuous sign—

[Haunted House]

…………

Yan Feng wasn't actually afraid of haunted houses.

Not because he wasn't afraid of ghosts, or the dark, but because... he had never been inside one.

The last time he came to an amusement park was when he was about ten years old. How could a child that age go looking for thrills in a haunted house? It was good enough not to have nightmares just from hearing sounds at night...

So...

"Uncle, are you scared?" Chen Xi teased, tilting her head, "If you're scared, you can hold my hand~"

Looking at the dark path ahead and listening to the occasional screams, the man felt no fear, and even wanted to laugh.

Haunted house, is that all?

Thinking this, the two entered the venue together.

The environment was somewhat dark, probably to save materials or create a sense of confinement, so some sections were designed to be very narrow, allowing only one person to pass sideways.

But to Yan Feng's relief, the so-called haunted house wasn't that scary.

There were just a few low-level scares that startled him a bit, and the rest of the fake bloody scenes were too fake, not even as interesting as the staff who suddenly jumped out.

Having worked in the business world for so many years, dealing with other companies, he had seen far scarier human hearts.

So halfway through, feeling bored, he turned and asked, "Little Xi, are you scared? If you are, just hold onto my coat... Little Xi?"

The man suddenly realized something was wrong, quickly looked around, and anxiously shouted, "Little Xi! Where are you? Don't scare me!"

"Come out, please? If you don't come out, I'll get mad!"

A sense of foreboding filled his heart, Yan Feng swallowed, first ran out to find a staff member dressed as a zombie to explain the situation, asking for help to find her, then turned back.

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Chen Xi was in a secret room, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere, but she felt no fear. Instead, she looked at the hidden door in front of her, waiting for someone to arrive.

Sure enough, before long, a man wearing a skull mask, with a strong build, walked in and politely said, "Hello, this is the staff rest area, please go play elsewhere..."

"Don't you trust me?" Chen Xi asked coldly, "Or do I need to call your online name to confirm your identity?"

The room was dark, and hearing the visitor's voice was female and young, the skull head was visibly surprised, then tilted his head, chuckled, and said:

"Sorry, sorry, I've done a lot of business, but this is the first time I've met a customer like you. It's hard to imagine what you'll do with those things. May I ask, young lady, are you of legal age?"

Chen Xi narrowed her eyes, looking at the somewhat terrifying skull mask, her tone cold:

"Bone, I buy your drugs because only you can trade in this city. If you keep playing games like with other customers, don't blame me for contacting the police. I'm sure they'd love to add another achievement to their record."

"Also," the young girl glanced at the passage behind her, then urged, "time is tight, someone is waiting for me outside."

"Alright, alright, the customer is always right~"

With that, three small vials were placed in his palm and handed over: "Only here, five hundred each, fair trade."

"Famous for being a profiteer." Chen Xi sneered, taking out a wad of cash from her pocket and handing it over.

"Thanks for the compliment."

In the darkness, the skull head shone a UV light on the bills, suddenly paused, as if thinking hard about something, then exclaimed:

"Wait, you're not buying this for that guy just now, are you!?"

How many years apart are you? Five? Ten? No offense, but you really shouldn't be buying this from me, there's no need, right?"

Before he could finish, the skull head seemed to realize something and continued, "Oh! I get it, you want to rise up, then divorce and take that guy's money, right! Oh, you should've said so, I'd be happy to help with that, as long as you leave the video with me, I'll give you a 20% discount, how about it!?"

"Shut up!"

Chen Xi frowned and said coldly, "I don't have time to argue with you, nor do I care to watch your foolish performance, and also..."

The young girl had already turned her back to him, facing the exit, and left a thought-provoking remark as she departed:

"Next time you do business, make sure to get rid of that vixen scent on you."

Hearing this, the "man" wearing the skull mask watched Chen Xi leave, stunned for a long time, then a sharp female laugh came from under the mask.

It was hard to imagine that this tall, eccentric, and frivolous person was actually a woman!

The skull head shook his head, sighed, and remarked:

"Who would've thought, my potions would do good one day..."

"What an interesting young girl... I hope you succeed..."
