Staying silent all these years and ignoring our two sisters is likely an attempt to distance herself and prove that the ghost village truly has "no successors."

Perhaps she cultivated her elder sister as a confidante, also in order to contact my father or know about us. But she didn't expect that when her elder sister grew up, she entered the deviant and heretical path, almost betraying her master and destroying her ancestral lineage.

Even if her senior sister betrayed her, I haven't heard her mention anything about seeking revenge from her senior sister or purging the sect to this day. She doesn't seem to care at all about her injuries or the loss of her cultivation. Instead, she seems to be enjoying it a bit.

Wouldn't she rather be an ordinary girl

Relaxed in the warm sun, she watched her father in his forties still act like a young boy, seeking attention in a straightforward way, and she enjoyed it.

These days, spending more time at home has made me realize that Ms. Xue belongs to the type of woman who is "ruthless." She will "stop at nothing" to achieve her goals and seems very much like a villain.

But he wasn't a bad person, either.

She taught me many things, never lecturing me but always showing me how to achieve my goals.

For example, I wanted to build a settlement outside her "hometown," that haunted village, and she didn't object at all or consider any safety hazards. She just directly taught me how to negotiate with the people upstairs.

She knew his psychology regarding noodles very well. Having been in the shadows for years, she was already accustomed to dealing with him, but just couldn't bring herself to be upfront about it.

I'm worried that I might not pass the exam, but she comforted me by saying, "What's there to worry about If you don't pass, they'll just arrange for someone else who did. They're even more afraid of you failing than you are. Why are you so anxious"

I'm also worried about giving birth. Madam Xue chimed in: "Can this family's traditional Chinese medicine practitioner not deliver the baby Even if they can't, hasn't their generations of medical practice built any hospital connections"

I'm still worried about my sister and brother-in-law's wedding progress. She just rolled her eyes and said, "It's hard for a woman to pursue a man. Your sister is a bit too picky, and your older brother doesn't buy into her act. As long as your sister understands and lets go of her pride, things will naturally fall into place."

These words were concise, and I found that she truly saw through many things. Unlike my father who was verbose and pedantic, she was the kind of person who spoke plainly but with wisdom.

But her temper is really bad. When she's unhappy, she gives people the cold shoulder and nothing anyone says works. My father serves her like a grandson all day long, willing to be beaten and submissive.

Perhaps, that's just how the world is.

There are family dramas, small and big rifts between relatives, as well as unbreakable blood ties.

"...But your belly is really big. Have you had it checked by a doctor" Ms. Xue looked at my stomach and asked with a slight frown.

"The other day, at my junior wife's home, an elderly woman took a look at me. She said my pulse was steady and that I was in good health, telling me not to worry." I replied.

"What about the genders"

"No questions."

"Humph…" Ms. Xue smiled and raised an eyebrow, saying, “I bet it’s a boy.”

Since I became pregnant, I never seriously considered the child's gender. Probably because all my focus was on Mu Wanchen, and Mu Wanchen is also a father who doesn't care about gender. Besides, those people in the Witch Clan, being able to have someone give birth to a child for the Great Shaman King is already something to be grateful for, so what does gender matter

So I didn't deliberately try to guess the baby's gender either.

"What are you betting on" I followed Mrs. Xue's words and asked.

"There are some things in the old house, left for myself and for you. They aren't worth much, but they are yours nonetheless. If I guessed right, you can take them yourself. After all, the old house is now under your control."

“That’s such harsh wording, what do you mean by ‘under my control’… Outsiders would think I'm fighting over an inheritance.” I scoffed.

"You let a fox demon guard the old house, aren't you in control of it"

"Well, that's perfect then. MuMu is coming to the human world with me to cultivate, and she needs a place to hide away. Besides, she can help us take care of Grandma Tai at the same time. It's a win-win situation."

I told her about serving Tai Po, and Ms. Xue smiled, her gaze falling on my wrist.

I have a thick, multi-colored rope bracelet on my wrist, with a small jade tube tied to it. The tanuki named Mu Wanchen is locked inside. Mu Wanchen said that he will collect any good Gu spirits for me in the future and let me wear this bracelet to protect myself.

I think the guiling would be terrified to see me—who wants to be locked up and forced around, or do hard labor with no bargaining power

"Your husband is very good to you," Ms. Xue said lightly. "But where did he go"

"Do my homework for me in my room."

" ... "

Mú Wǎn chén belongs to the particularly particularly good kind of husband who is easy to command, and he also knows everything about heaven and earth, and is both literate and martial.

As long as his wife opens her mouth, he basically grants her every wish.uddenly filled with many pink peach blossoms, scaring my brother to quickly retract his hand."Damn... forgot he was gay..." My brother pulled me toward a tent further away."Hey hey, where are you guys...
