The tiles on the floor, especially the white tiles near the kitchen, were filled with layers of filth. Inside the filth, it looked greasy.

Bai Mu hurriedly retracted his gaze. If he continued to observe any further, he wasn't sure if the steamed buns would still be edible. Although he wasn't a germaphobic person, he would feel nauseous whenever he saw these things.

As Bai Mu retracted his gaze, he discovered that there weren't any customers in this small shop. It was extremely calm inside!

Ye Zichen thought about it for a moment, then felt relieved. It would be weird if there was a customer in this place. However, since he was already here, it would be embarrassing for Bai Mu to let go of the granny's benevolence. It should be difficult for her to lead a lonely life.

After the Steamed Bun ate a few mouthfuls, his intentions would be satisfied.

When he thought of Ke Nan, Bai Mu could not help but worry a little. Although that thing was too stupid, at least they had been together for a day. He wasn't bad and shouldn't be in any danger if he stayed with that water ghost.

However, thinking back to what Ke Nan said before, if he wanted to enter Yinyang Street, he had to deal with that water ghost. However, thinking back to what Ke Nan said before, if he wanted to enter Yinyang Street, he had to deal with that water ghost.

Apparently, he had taken off his clothes to look for the Yin-Yang Fish. However, Ke Nan's soul was a thing of the past. Bai Mu had already told him through text message what he wanted to do. He would have to wait until he was out of here before he could make any further plans.

However, whether this place was Yin-Yang Street or not, he could only wait for the old granny to arrive and ask her about it later.

As Bai Mu was lost in thought, he raised his head and saw that the shrine inside the shop was actually a shrine — Ghost Mother!

He was either a normal human being who could help him get in and out of the safety of the officials or a god who could help him make a fortune, and this old lady's house was given to a ghost mother who only wanted a living tribute.

A living tribute is the flesh of a living person or creature. Of course, not all mothers liked this taste. It was said that if the mother was pregnant and ate these things, then the child's mana would be higher than those mothers who were pregnant and hadn't eaten these things.

However, this was just hearsay, so it was hard to tell if it was true or not.

Ye Zichen sneaked a glance at the ghost mother statue on the shrine and felt more and more that there was something wrong with the store.

While Bai Mu was still confused, he smelled the smell of meat buns and delicious broth coming from the kitchen not far away. This fragrance almost made Bai Mu, who was so hungry that his chest was sticking to his back, drool.

After smelling the fragrance, Bai Mu's stomach growled again. Unable to bear it any longer, Bai Mu turned his head towards the kitchen, anticipating the food that was about to be cooked.

Before long, the granny with a benevolent smile was walking towards Bai Mu with a bowl of soup in her left hand and a stack of buns in her right.

”Young man, did you wait for too long?” Bai Mu hurriedly received the steamed bun and soup with a smile and said, ”No, mother-in-law is too kind.”

The old granny seemed to like Bai Mu very much. She handed a pair of chopsticks to Bai Mu and gave him a grateful smile. ”I haven't had a customer in my shop in a long time.” Fortunately, you don't mind this young lad, otherwise this old woman would not have any business here. ”

Bai Mu smiled and accepted the chopsticks from her. His gaze couldn't help but rest on his fingernails. He saw that the old granny's fingernails were unusually long. What made me even more disgusted was that there were layers of pitch-black things beneath the nails.

When Bai Mu saw this, he felt that his appetite had been reduced by a large amount. He could no longer muster up the courage to be impudent; instead, he quickly stopped what he was doing.

”Young man, why aren't you eating? ”Hurry up and eat, I've been cooking for a long time!” The old granny stared eagerly at Bai Mu.

When Bai Mu saw the old man looking at him in such a manner, he found it embarrassing to say that the reason why he lost his appetite all of a sudden was because of this old lady.

He used the chopsticks in his hand to pick up a steamed bun and slowly split it open, revealing the pink colored meat within.

”This meat seems a little strange.” Bai Mu sighed in his heart. He didn't eat the buns, but turned his attention to the soup bowl beside him. He gently stirred the spoon in his hand. ”What a god, there's actually a finger in there.”

After which, Bai Mu felt as though his entire being had gone from bad to worse.

It was unknown when the old granny had sat beside Bai Mu, but she had not noticed his abnormality. Bai Mu raised his head and sat in the back without leaving a trace. He smiled strangely at the old granny and asked, ”This old granny, do you manage this little shop by yourself?”

”Yeah, I'm the only one left in this family. ”Since I'm old and my legs are weak, I can only stay in the store and survive.”

”Nanny, what you said was wrong. Just now, I saw that it was Steamed Bun and the soup that didn't even last half an hour. Nanny, your speed is really fast!” Bai Mu continued to have a harmless smile on his face. When he noticed the panic on the grandma's face, he continued, ”And I heard voices coming from inside.”

”Hehe, little fellow, you must have heard wrong out of hunger. You and I are the only two people in this room! ”
