1182 Overachievement

tually tame my grandfather.Even hardened steel fears the softness of a gentle touch."...I took them to the basement so that when I'm old and dead, they'll know how to get in." The grandfather stretche...I'm not afraid of poison, but anesthesia still affects the body.

My eldest sister is no longer the family member I once thought she was. She began dabbling in these things three years ago, and we were all kept in the dark, completely oblivious.

Immeasurable magical power Ordinary people have no right to say that word.

She was greedy, perhaps seeing the power of money and controlling evil spirits.

Three years ago... this little demon was refined, and even Mu Yunfan and Mu Xiaoqiao couldn't take it back, they could only give up... Such a powerful evil spirit, if I can use it for myself, then in this place, wouldn't it be me who turns the clouds and rains Isn't it more comfortable than being a small doctor

"I know you want to find out about your mother through me, but unfortunately, there's no going back."

No turning back

What does she mean by that

I was quickly stuffed into a sack, bound with ropes, and dropped onto rocks.

"I apologize, little junior sister... I haven't fully mastered this place's giant stone, nor have I completely refined the little ghost. I can only silence anyone who knows anything. Those little mice just now, not a single one was spared."

This was the last time I heard my senior sister's voice, so cold, unfamiliar, and indifferent.

Those who have been led astray can even kill their wives and children. She has been doing these things for three years, and it's only our fault for being oblivious.

Under the same roof, yet with their own thoughts and estrangement.

I was too young to think that there could be coldness and departures in our peaceful and beautiful home.

The moment I entered the water, I felt a jolt in my brain, my blood surging. A powerful force pulled me down into the depths—

Inhale underwater

I was stunned. How could I still be so aware

Something had bitten through the hemp rope. I quickly pulled off the sack, and unsurprisingly, I saw Fu Zhu.

"...How did you get here" I said, trying to keep my voice calm as I tugged at the rope.

"Wherever the Kun is, that's where I appear. This place belongs to the barbarians, with different beliefs. I can't appear around you..." Its tone was somewhat hurried.

I nodded, twisting the damp strands of hair out.

"You don't seem surprised" Fu Zhu asked in a low voice.

"Well, when I first saw the river here, I knew that when I was cornered, I could jump in and escape... The female gu wouldn't let me die." I confessed.

"No wonder you're so fearless." Fu Zhu Wu Nai smiled helplessly.

"Is there any news about Mu Wanchen" I looked up at it.

"You don't have any, how could I have I guess it must be sealed by a barrier..."

"What does that mean"

"I haven't gone into the tomb myself, so I don't know what's inside. I believe the ancient divine shamans wouldn't harm their own descendants. There will surely be a time for us to return."

I sighed and said, "I can't wait any longer. I've been on edge for days. I have to keep up appearances, act calm and collected, and worry about my health so as not to alarm anyone. But... besides Mu Wanchen, I can't rely on anyone!"

When all is silent and still, I don't know what to say.

Without Mu Wanchen, even the eldest senior sister would dare to kill me.

It is said that a woman without a husband has no master.

I thought I was outdated, but nowadays women don't need to rely on men for life.

The most real feeling is that when your husband isn't around, people dare to bully you.

"What place is this Xiānggǔ... right, what's the name of this little tadpole" I asked Fúzhū.

The female Gu saved me twice, and I still don't know its name.

"...matchmaking."

"Fu Lan... this name is so 'witchy'. "

Isn't this a kind of divination It sounds pretty good.

I touched the shallow water on the ground, and beneath it was a layer of smooth, soft skin.

"Fu Lan... thank you." I whispered.

I didn't expect it to hear, but for a moment I felt like I was on a rollercoaster, my whole body seemed to "fly".

No way, Fu Lun is going to fly me home That's too far, I'd be mistaken for an alien.

"Wow..."

Fu Lan opened her mouth, and in front of her was a sparkling expanse of water with a dense forest and shallows.

Okay, I'm still in this damned place.

It seems we've journeyed quite far. We should be near the border by now, right I glanced at the direction of the water flow. Fulan was swimming upstream, which means she's heading towards our homeland.

Cunning, didn't take me to the downstream.

"Why stop here" I looked out at the shallows, puzzled.

When everyone sighed in lament, they said: “Perhaps you can find what you’re looking for here… The female gu insect resonates with your heart. Just introspect and you will know the reason behind its actions.”

"Speaking so profoundly I furrowed my brows and waded through the shallows. "

Looking back, Fu Lan's scales shimmered with peacock blue. Her tail seemed incomplete, and long whiskers began to sprout behind her cheeks...

That looks kind of scary.

After it came ashore, it turned into white light and returned to me, and then everything disappeared.

The sky is vast and blue, the wilderness stretches far and wide.

I am all alone now.

Originally, no matter how many siblings there are.

After Mu Wanchen disappeared, I only had myself to rely on.

Who called me to walk "this road"

This desolate place gave me the feeling that I was near, or even within, national borders.

But it's too difficult to get through here, the old trees here are almost like spirits. Their roots, intertwined and pressed against each other, have pushed up out of the ground, looking like a sea of trees.

I discovered a chain at the edge of the forest, just beyond where the shore ends. The chain seemed to have been broken by stones, splitting open with a gap and discarded at the forest's edge.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the eldest sister could ruthlessly silence me.

It could also cruelly silence Ms. Xue.

Maybe I'll see a rotting corpse

The days since Ms. Xue went missing, were neither long nor short. But in this deep mountain forest where there was no way out, the only possible outcome was death.

I don't know why I'm so obsessed, I just want to see with my own eyes if she's alive or dead. So I'm frantically flipping through the withered branches and decaying leaves in this forest, searching for clues.

Those leaves were kicked up by me, swirling and flying everywhere. Dust and dirt billowed around them.

Finally, I found her in a tree hollow filled with stones and fallen leaves.

Her.

She actually sat cross-legged in the tree hollow, hands clasped on her knees, eyes closed and head bowed.

She was shriveled beyond recognition, ants crawling all over one hand... biting into her flesh, a teeming mass.

Is this... a corpse!

She died How long has she been here

I tore open the things at the entrance. She must have built this herself to block the hole, is she planning on dying here With it covered up like this, who would ever find her!

"Hey... Ms. Xue, are you still alive Didn't your spirit leave your body to find me and my sister I'm here, give me some kind of response."

I am so nervous, my voice is shaking.

The lifeless, dirty, and shriveled "corpse" in front of me showed no signs of life.

You often see missing people in the news, and they usually meet with misfortune. But she wasn't an ordinary person; someone who deals with ghosts all day couldn't just disappear without a trace, could they Was she injured Those countless ants were swarming over her wounds.

I picked up a few leaves to swat the ants off her hand. Touching her through the leaves, I found it wasn't so frightening after all.

Blood ties cannot be denied.

Seeing her like this, I wasn't even scared.

After growing bolder, I reached out and brushed the hair stuck to her face.

As his fingers made contact with her shriveled cheek, she shuddered violently, as if jolted by electricity.n't understand, tell me. What kind of business are you buying Don't be disrespectful in front of the old immortal," I reminded him softly.The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, "It's an honor~~~...
