se ripe soybeans first and take them back. We have a stone mill in the courtyard, right We can grind soy milk, soybean dregs, and even sprout some beans. That should keep us going for a while.If we fi...I couldn't help but growl, "You still want to chat with her Aren't you afraid You're joking, right"

“Oh no! The problem is, she came crawling over again while I was in the restroom. I'm helpless! The girl ghost practically saw me naked!” My brother pulled out a talisman and slapped it on her forehead. The female ghost immediately pushed back with both hands, retreating halfway, like a worm that had only half its body left, wriggling backward. It made my stomach churn.

"This is a ghost from the Second Palace. It missed the deadline for returning to its body and seeking vengeance after seven days, so it's filled with resentment and refuses to leave." Jiang Qiyun said softly, his eyes half-closed.

When he closes his eyes, he is particularly... beautiful. Perhaps this description would upset him, but it's really the only word that fits. It has nothing to do with gender.

That smooth and full forehead, eyebrows like engravings, high nose bridge and cold lips, slightly closed eyes, appear dignified and sacred, with a kind of dazzling indifference and majesty.

"What is the Second Palace for" I still don't remember the full name of the Six Palaces even now.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "It's a place where ghosts who died suddenly and tragically go. After the Underworld investigates, it will add rewards and punishments to the relevant people in the Yang world."

As soon as he spoke, a man's voice outside the elevator roared, "Who's in there! Are you trying to get yourselves killed!"

I jumped in fright, this man is so scary! He has a large scar across his mouth that looks like a worm crawling on his face!

"Lao Lin, it's me, I'll take care of this troublesome ghost." My brother replied.

Lao Lin's eyes stared straight at me, his face was very gloomy, and staring at me like that gave me goosebumps all over.

Jiang Qiyun barely moved, but he shifted his body to shield me. Even if no one else could see it, I felt a little comfort in his actions.

"This is my sister, she's here to help me handle this ghost girl." My brother frowned. What was Lao Lin so aggressive about

"Your sister Mu... Mu Xia Qiao I think I've heard that name before..." Lao Lin's face contorted into a strange expression, his bloodshot hawk-like eyes staring at me intently.

Jiang Qiyun's hand moved slightly, and I lowered my eyes to see that his long fingers were pinching a sword seal! What was he trying to do!

I quickly grabbed his wrist with both hands. Don't strike just yet and cause him to vanish into thin air! Your eyes aren't healed yet! Don't add another karmic burden on top of that!

"Get back quickly!" Lao Lin whispered to me, "Women shouldn't come to this place! Especially you, Mu Xiao Qiao! You're easily tempted by the evil spirits here!"

This place is pretty eerie, but I've been to creepier places. What could be scarier than the Ghost Den and the Demon Path

Lao Lin's emotions were a bit off, I felt like he was afraid of something.

My brother seemed to have noticed it too, and he explained to Lao Lin: “We need to leave this female ghost behind. I don't want to see that disgusting half-bodied apparition every time I use the toilet. She’s scared me from going! What if I get a prostate infection from holding it in!”

Lao Lin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He shouted, "Next time you see this female ghost, take her back! Leave now! Don't set foot here again! Especially Mu Xiaoqiao!"

His attitude was resolute, my brother had no choice but to retreat. As the elevator door closed, Lao Lin suddenly stepped forward, pressed against the elevator entrance, staring at me, the large scar on his face twitching convulsively.

He said word by word: "Mu Xiaoqiao... you, have, to, be careful!"

I was shaking with fear, I really wasn't brave enough to face the malice of a living person. He said it with bloodshot eyes and gritted teeth, it was terrifying!

My older brother drove us home. I huddled in the back seat, my eyes red with humiliation - what did this Lao Lin do to me I don't even know him!

"Brother... maybe you shouldn't intern here anymore. I think Old Lin is really scary... You dealt with the foot ghost using your amulet, so why not just quit" I sniffed and spoke in a choked voice.

“I just have to endure it, at least I need the hospital to give me a practicum summary. Otherwise, how can I get my graduation certificate… Sigh, Dad always nags me about whether I can graduate.” My brother frowned and said: “Besides, I still have to see what this old Lin is going crazy about!”

My brother sent us downstairs and drove back himself. I returned to my room with a worried heart to change my clothes, Jiang Qiyun pulled me onto the bed and lay down beside me, propping his chin up with one hand.

"Don't be afraid." he said with his eyes closed, softly.

“Qi Yun, if I accidentally die, will I be able to see you in the underworld”

"What Want to be a female ghost"

I… This guy can't speak more politely, can he

He let out a light chuckle. "Of course you can see me, but you will remain as you were at the moment of death... Aren't you afraid"

"Uh So if I die a worse death, wouldn't that be even more disgusting!"

"If that's really the case... then I don't want to see you." I sighed, shrinking into his side.

"Mu Xiaqiao, live a good life, best of all to live a long and happy life, smiling until the end, then go to the underworld after death. At worst, I'll wait for you another ten or twenty years, it's not like I haven't waited before."

Ten or twenty years...

"Is there any way for me to stay with you forever Ten or twenty years seems so long."

Jiang Qiyun fell silent for a moment before asking, "Are you really sure about this"

I nodded, really Could it be fake after all

"Mu Xiaqiao, if you won't age, then in this world you could only keep moving from place to place, otherwise you would be seen as a monster. You would watch your loved ones leave one by one, while you remain alone, wandering the mortal realm. I still have hundreds of years to stay in the underworld... after that—"

"Then we can find a place to hide," I said with a smile. "If we can't hide in the human world, I'll turn into a soul and go with you somewhere else. As long as you can see me, that's fine."

The son of heaven returns, to the south mountain, quiet and peaceful.

This is what you said.

Jiang Qiyun's lips curled into a hint of a sinister smile. He pinched my chin, forcing me to tilt my head up towards him, and then gently nibbled at my lips in a tantalizing way.

“...It wouldn't be difficult at all to come with me.” He chuckled softly, his lips brushing against mine as he whispered.

"Practice diligently, do many good deeds, and..."

What else

"...have many children."

I... this bastard! What are you talking about having children with me!

"It's not even born yet! No more, no more! I still have to go to school!" I said, both ashamed and annoyed. "If you weren't so fierce and scary back then, I wouldn't have meekly agreed to it!"

"So what You're my wife, don't you remember what a wife's duty is" He chuckled softly in my ear, "You leave so many things inside your body every day, and you still want to refuse"

This guy… although he says it like that, his actions aren't actually that scary. He seems to have some reservations – after all, the slight roundness of his belly is becoming increasingly obvious.

At the return, in Younan, I don't know what kind of child it will be.

As dawn approached, my phone vibrated. This time, Jiang Qiyun didn't hang up the call immediately but answered in a low voice——r the past eighteen years, I was a carefree idler, but ever since I met Mu Wanchen, I've become responsible for a whole bunch of things, including keeping this fox demon house servant in line. At leas...
