Red Lantern Lady...
Whether it was the Ninth Grandpa carrying the altar on his back, the old shopkeeper, or Sister Wu He wrapped in dog skin, they all understood what that momentary flash of red light truly signified. They also knew, with chilling clarity, what kind of presence could make itself known so suddenly, bringing with it such immense pressure that even Aunt Tan's resentment was suppressed. Within a ten-mile radius, only the Red Lantern Lady possessed such imposing authority.
"You... you actually invited the Red Lantern Lady?"
The Ninth Grandpa's laughter died in his throat, turning into a gasp of surprise. His voice grew hoarse. He couldn't understand. This man, Wu, had fought so desperately for the Blood Food for so long; why would he summon the Red Lantern Lady in the end?
