Between Heaven and Earth
et, curled up on the couch listlessly watching him. I didn't want to speak because my voice was hoarse from crying last night."I heard that boiling eggs can reduce swelling, look at your whole face sw...My brother's phone was unreachable, so I immediately called the home landline. The noisy buzzing on the other end indicated that it wasn't just an issue on my side.
"... Huh" A cautious voice from the other side.
"Greed Wolf, it's me!" I stopped at the entrance to the flower hall, raising my hand to cover one ear, afraid of missing any sound from the phone.
"Little Uncle!" Greed Wolf was very excited when he heard my voice.
"Did something happen at home! Where's my brother!"
"Little Uncle Master—your phone isn't getting through— static… Master Yunfan… static…"
This awful buzzing sound is driving me crazy, I'm on edge like an ant scrambling around a hot pot.
With a resounding *thud*, I crashed into the doorframe, and the door swung open suddenly.
Lord Luo Hu looked at me with cold eyes: “Are you scared witless”
"I...my brother—" I was at a loss for words, gesturing towards the phone.
Strangely, as Lord Luohou got closer to me, the voice on the phone became more ethereal. However, the buzzing electrical noise lessened considerably.
I reached out and grabbed Luohu Xingjun's sleeve. He frowned slightly, and I pleaded with him with my eyes not to leave in a hurry.
"Greed Wolf, can you hear me now How is my brother"
“I heard, little uncle, just now Da Mao and Xiao Nie were playing in the courtyard. As a result, a spatial rift opened, and a black qi, like a rope, swept up Xiao Nie and Da Mao!” Tanlang said urgently: “I heard Xiao Nie’s cry from the attic. When I looked down, I only saw Da Mao’s small arm grabbing a toy being swallowed into the crack——”
“Master Yunfan immediately lit an incense stick, chasing after that evil spirit while invoking the Yin soldiers. He asked our local land god to send Yin soldiers to lead the way, and Master Yunfan followed them out. I tried calling you earlier but couldn't get through…”
The Wolf was very anxious, but he explained things clearly.
My heart pounded, and a space rift appeared here. How did my brother appear there as well And I'm the target, aren't I
"Where's Yan Qin What is she doing" Big Mao was taken away by the otherworldly beings, Yan Qin must be frantic.
"The mistress has gone to coordinate relations."
"Huh"
"We're in a big city too, the pandemic control is very strict, many places are off-limits, and some roads are closed. You need to have a permit to drive through them. Shi Niang immediately went to pull some strings, otherwise, your master wouldn't even be able to get on the road by car…"
What to do... I'm worried, so I told the disciples guarding the entrance to the flower hall to notify Lin Yanhuan.
Lin Yanhuan is still staying with us, but he has to leave tomorrow. He said that he still needs to go on a mission in a distant place.
I had a twinge of hesitation, unsure whether I should tell Lin Yanhuan.
What he's doing affects millions of people. Our personal matters shouldn't add to his trouble anymore.
But Da Mao is Lin Yanhuan's nephew, with half the Lin family's blood. If something happens and I can't handle it myself, then I would truly be a sinner!
"How long are you going to keep grabbing my sleeve" Luo Hu Xingjun asked impatiently.
"Oh... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" I quickly let go of him.
He let out a cold snort, looking toward the backyard where a surge of energy shot into the sky. "Who is Jiuzhao fighting"
"It seems… it's a demon god called Slander... Both sides reveal each other's secrets, refusing to give in." I sighed and wondered if I should summon Jiang Qiyun.
But Jiang Qiyun is currently attending to an important matter at the Imperial Palace. If we can manage here and deal with Luohu, there's no need to summon him, right
My heart pounded in my chest. I ordered all the Shen family disciples to prepare for battle, stationed them on both sides of the east and west courtyards, forbidding them from moving. At the same time, I went into the flower hall to check on the three children.
Yu Gui and You Nan slept soundly, probably too tired from playing with Lin Yanhuan, Ji Dou and others these past two days. They were curled up in a big letter shape, holding their small fists tightly.
Lanyix was hungry and wanted to eat milk. When I went to make the milk, he "mua~mua~" in my arms, as if coaxing me.
"You little rascal, trying to act cute again" I rubbed my forehead against Lan Xi's head.
Lanxi is sometimes very considerate. He seems to understand what I'm saying and pats my face with his little chubby hand, even putting his small hand into my lips on purpose.
Thank you so much, want to share some snacks with me
Sometimes, I feel that Lan Xi is like a small animal. He doesn't have Yu Nan's innate spirit, nor is he as sensible, nor does he have Yu Gui's cleverness. He's more like a little spirit beast with extraordinary intuition from birth.
Sometimes dazed, following instincts, sometimes ears perked up, agile and alert.
Suddenly, a deafening crash echoed from outside — which courtyard had been demolished this time
I put the bottle into Lán Xī's hand and reminded her, “Be good, drink it all up and go to sleep. Mom will go take a look.”
Lan Xi took the bottle, seemingly understanding but not fully, and stuffed it into her mouth. She blinked at me with her eyes.
I didn't bother to appease him, and turned around to go behind the screen.
What I didn't expect was that this little guy was so cunning. He felt tired of holding the bottle himself, and actually went to pat his sister Yu Gui next to him!
Yu Gui rubbed his eyes and sat up, instinctively reaching out to help Lan Xi hold the bottle. He called out to me in a milky voice: "Mama, where are you going"
"I went to the backyard, and all of you just stood there watching as Uncle Ji started a fight, completely ignoring it. I'm afraid that he's going to level the entire Shen family."
"Oh…" Yu Gui replied.
I thought to myself as I woke up, that I could take care of Lanxi now, and besides, Yugui is a delicate young lady with a temper. If she couldn't take care of her younger brother, she would definitely fuss and cry for help.
Thinking this over, I hurried out of the room.
Luohou Xingjun, who stood at the gate, cocked his head and frowned. "Who set up this barrier"
"Huh I don't know, I saw a woman in white. Ji Dou Xing Jun called her...called her...Female..." That name is strange.
"Who is it" Rahu raised an eyebrow: "So it's her..."
"Does this fairy have any questions" I whispered.
"It's no big deal, but the female cultivator's barrier control is flat, and the impact underground won't diminish. If we keep fighting in this place, it might shake the foundation of the Shen family's residence and cause a landslide... I'll have Ji move to a different location. Don't wander around."
"Hey, but you left! What about the Flower Hall here The children are all here—" I pleaded. "How about I go deliver the message Please just continue watching over things here Also, something seems to have happened with my brother, and I want to tell Duke Xingjun..."
"Your brother" Luo Hu Xingjun seemed to know my brother's "reputation" - that accountant Star Jun who was a ruthless player in the game and a sharp-tongued teammate.
I nodded, thinking that given their relationship with my brother, he should help out if something happened to him, right
Luo Hu Xingjun pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: “Since we have been ordered to descend and cultivate, we should naturally have a beginning and an end…… Go to the lake shore to invite the real dragon and ask the real dragon to help you. As for the Shen family, this star lord will help you watch over them.”
I was a little surprised that Lord Rahu would say such things... Are they, are they here on a mission
"What are you standing there for Go already!" he urged patiently.
"Oh...oh! Good!"d was slow-witted, wise beyond his years, and had unusual bones. He would surely be a difficult child to raise, a real troublemaker. He named him this hoping he would be more sentimental and remember...
