Even After Death novel (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 969

Chapter 969

The girl was young but she was obviously well-respected. The villagers who walked past her would greet her.

Brent noticed that they didn’t treat her like a child. They were very respectful when they talked to her.

They would stand up straight and pay respects to her.

The girl would nod lightly, but she always remained silent.

The group followed her to a bamboo forest. She signaled for them to stop moving. Then, she entered the bamboo forest alone.

There was a stream next to the bamboo forest and a stone bridge that looked very exquisite.

They saw a gigantic tree a short distance away. It looked like it had been there for over a century. There were some red ribbons hanging on the tree with tiny bells attached to them. They would chime when the winds blew.

There weren’t any fancy decorations, but it was very cozy.

Krystal whispered, “Is the young lady mute?”

Joel glared at her. “Shut up before you find yourself in trouble.”

Brent pointed at a glimpse of red that was a short distance from them. Krystal felt her skin crawl when she saw the dark green eyes. That was the giant red snake they saw in the forest. It had been following them all along.

After a while, an old lady came out of a wooden hut. Joel quickly went up to her.

“You’re Aunt Wendy. I’m Joel. You saved my life before. Do you remember me?”

Wendy was quite old but quick on her feet, and her eyes were bright. She didn’t exhibit the typical signs of aging, like blurry vision and hearing loss.

She wore an outfit similar to the girl’s. Her white hair was held in place with a hairpin.

She looked energetic and carefree. “Oh, hi, Joel. 40 years just passed in the blink of an eye, didn’t it?
