Hey, what's Fatty up to again? How can a big guy like him just disappear like that? Is he trying to prank me again? Last time, Fatty tricked me into the deep woods and then vanished. It nearly got me killed. What is he planning tonight?

"Fatty! Fatty!" I shouted twice, but my voice was torn apart by the cold wind. I frowned, feeling a bit annoyed. "I'm not in the mood for hide-and-seek. If you're not coming out, then forget it. I'm heading back!"

I picked up the dry branches and started walking back. Not far away, I spotted a bag on the ground. I picked it up and realized it was Fatty's bag. How could that deadweight Fatty lose even his bag? I hope nothing serious has happened to him.

This dense forest is our main hunting ground, and there are many wild beasts around. Could Fatty have been taken away by a tiger or a wolf?

Feeling anxious, I carried the bag and held up the torch, searching around. Not far away, I saw a mountain stream, and there was a person standing by the stream. Just by looking at the back, I knew it was Fatty.

I found it strange. Why would Fatty be by the mountain stream in the middle of the night? Could he be here to fish?

I walked quickly behind Fatty and tapped him on the shoulder, asking him why he was standing here.

Fatty ignored me, his eyes fixed on the stream through the bushes, a strange smile on his face. He drooled profusely, looking a bit foolish.

What was Fatty looking at so intently? He seemed completely lost, as if he had lost his soul.

Curious, I pushed aside the bushes to look into the stream. What I saw made my blood boil instantly.

The scene before my eyes was too beautiful!

In the flowing mountain stream, there were two girls frolicking around. Their skin was as fair as snow, their long hair cascading down their waists. They were completely naked, their snow-white bodies shining brightly in the dark night.

Not only were they beautiful, but they also had a mesmerizing charm about them with their slender eyebrows and long, narrow eyes. Their every smile and frown exuded a seductive aura.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

They played in the water, swimming and splashing, occasionally bursting into silvery laughter.

The flowing stream, the bathing girls, the vast forest, the endless night—all combined to create a painting brimming with wildness and primordial allure, intoxicating and irresistible.

I had never seen a girl's body before, and I believed Fatty hadn't either, which was why he was so engrossed.

My breathing became rapid, my face flushed, and my eyes were glued to the two girls. I quickly became enchanted, standing shoulder to shoulder with Fatty, staring foolishly at the two girls, as if they were the only ones in the world, completely forgetting where I was.

At that moment, the two girls coquettishly called out to us, "Hey, two handsome boys, don't hide! Come down and play with us!"

I shuddered all over, as if a strong electric current had pierced through my soul in an instant.

The two girls beckoned to us with their fingers, and Fatty and I, as if bewitched, drooled with sparkling saliva at the corners of our mouths, step by step, walked toward the mountain stream.

My mind went blank, with only the seductive voice lingering in my ears: "Hehe, little boys, come on, come quickly..."

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot shattered all the beauty.

In the dead silence of the night, the gunshot sounded particularly deafening.

I saw a splatter of blood blossom from the chest of one of the girls, and she flipped over and sank beneath the water.

The other girl turned pale with shock, transforming into a yellow shadow leaping onto the shore, disappearing into the bushes like lightning, instantly vanishing from sight.

Fatty and I suddenly woke up, and that drifting ghost returned to our bodies.

Fatty looked at me in confusion, and I also looked at him, equally puzzled. We both asked each other in unison, "What just happened?"

"Yang Cheng! Fatty!" Someone called our names. Turning around, it was Grandpa and Uncle Qi, with Uncle Qi holding a hunting rifle, smoke still rising from the barrel.

Several adults anxiously pushed aside the bushes and came to us.

Grandpa asked me, "What are you doing here?"

Thinking of the scene just now, I couldn't help but blush. It was embarrassing to admit to peeping at women bathing.

I stammered, "Fatty and I came here to pick up dry branches, and we saw two girls bathing in the mountain stream..."

As I spoke, I suddenly shivered in fear, looking up at Uncle Qi. "Uncle, you... you just killed someone..."

"That wasn't a person!" Grandpa said.

Fatty and I were stunned, our faces filled with surprise. What did he mean? Not a person? Were those two girls not human? Then what were they?

"Have you ever thought that on such a cold day, why would someone be bathing in the mountain stream?" Uncle Qi squatted by the stream, holding a long stick and poking around in the water.

Yeah!

I scratched my head. Even on a scorching hot day, the mountain stream was bone-chilling cold, let alone in the dead of winter. How could anyone be bathing in the mountain stream? Thinking back to the playful appearance of those two girls just now, they didn't seem to feel the cold at all. It was indeed strange.

Uncle Qi pulled something out of the water with a stick and brought it to us. His face darkened as he said, "You two, open your eyes wide and take a good look at what this is."

Fatty and I rubbed our eyes, and when we looked closely, we both gasped in shock, unable to believe our eyes, stuttering in disbelief, "This... this is... a Yellowskin, isn't it?"

It was the body of a small Yellowskin, its fur soaked and matted, with a mass of flesh and blood in its chest.

Fatty and I looked at Uncle Qi in astonishment. "Uncle, is this Yellowskin the girl you just shot?"

Uncle Qi nodded solemnly. "That's right. The two girls you just saw were actually two little Yellowskins. They cultivated into spirits and transformed into human forms to lure you into the water. You two have weak willpower and were easily mesmerized. Fortunately, we arrived in time, or you would have drowned in the stream!"

Fatty and I listened with trepidation, feeling a little embarrassed as we lowered our heads. It turned out we had been enchanted by Yellowskins just now. No wonder we stupidly walked toward the mountain stream. It was really close!

Uncle Qi handed the Yellowskin's body to Fatty and me, asking us to dig a hole quickly and bury the Yellowskin.
