Days turn into months
un roared, "Our Tong Xuan Hui—"My brother scoffed, "Not a thing Then you have the nerve to speak Looking at what you just said about soul-seizing and merging, are you from the Maoshan sect Or are you...Before I packed my bags and prepared to leave, Mu Wanchen came back.
"... Your wounds healed" I looked at him carefully.
He nodded and said, “I have to go now.”
"I'll have a helicopter send you back." I hurriedly took out my phone to call the Shen family to dispatch a helicopter.
He smiled and crossed his arms: "Mu Xia Qiao, you're quite capable now, aren't you The first time we met, you were tied up and hanging from the beam. Now you're so relaxed."
I pursed my lips. “Of course, I’ll repay your kindness in sparing my life.”
"Humph, I never thought about killing you," he smiled, stood up and took off his T-shirt.
This is what I bought for him. I can't let him wander around shirtless, his mysterious markings are too conspicuous.
"What are you taking your clothes off for Just put them back on. They were bought for you anyway. No one's going to wear them here... they're so big," I said, frowning.
He frowned slightly: "Going back in this, those old men will have a field day."
"Your Wuzhuang Mountain City should also be enlightened. Our ancestors always said to embrace diversity, but you stick to your own ways and will only become more withered."
Mu Wanchen sighed, "Let's solve the problem of survival first. We can consider the rest later."
"What kind of survival problems do you have What kind of supplies do you need I can buy some for you to take back." I asked kindly.
He cocked his head: "Buy a hundred or so women to bring back"
"...Then you have to wait, I have to go to Vietnam to get some for you." I'm speechless.
He smiled and shook his head, the gauze-wrapped head looking so awkward. I couldn't help but say, "You should change back to your mask. This way, you look like a burn victim, it's quite scary."
He grunted, tore down the cloth strip, and put the wooden mask back on his face.
"I don't know why you're covering your face..."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to scare you."
"Then you'll wear a mask like that around your wife from now on too That feeling isn't very good... I've experienced it firsthand." I scoff.
He didn't answer, instead asking me, "Where are you going"
"Take a trip to the Imperial Capital, and I'll be back soon."
"... I looked at the celestial signs yesterday and discovered that the ominous star is bright...and it's nearing a period of change. Just be careful," he cautioned.
"What, what" I hurriedly asked. "What ominous star What period of change"
The Shaman has been a celestial conduit for humanity since ancient times. Possessing extraordinary spiritual awareness and mastery of many arcane arts, they could gaze upon the stars and survey the earth, often privy to mysteries unknown to ordinary people.
Mu Wanchen turned around, his eyes glowed with a deep blue darkness.
He spoke in a low voice: "This is the rule of the world, celestial stems and earthly branches, sixty years make one Jiazi cycle. It's just a cycle. A bright ominous star indicates that change is coming."
The number sixty is quite remarkable. Months, years, days, and hours all cycle through sixty as a unit.
In ancient times, people divided a day into twelve time segments called "shi chen". Five days make sixty "shi chen", which constitutes a large cycle called "wu ri yi hou" (five days as one cycle).
"The reason the Ghost Princess couldn't hold back was probably because of the ominous star's emergence and the world being filled with malice. She fell into evil ways and wanted to use this opportunity... It wasn't easy for her to become a Ghost Immortal, so she wanted to take a gamble." Mu Wanchen snorted coldly.
I frowned and asked, "What did Jiang Qiyun discuss with you"
The Ghost Princess invaded the Mi Jiang River Basin, seeking a stronghold to attack that village. She planned to build a ghost city after conquering it. Qi Ke Xin's identity allows her to act with convenience... However, she is currently short of money and supplies. It would be best if you could cut off her financial resources.
"Uh-huh, I understand."
"...What is that ghost princess's relationship with your husband"
"Well...it's nothing, really. I thought he had some sort of connection with the Ghost Princess before and was even jealous, but it turns out he had other plans." I waved my hand dismissively.
"Then good, just kill him." He gritted his teeth fiercely.
He was shot by Qi Ke Xin, this revenge must be avenged.
“...Are you planning to kill her”
"What else Your husband let me use the 'teasing and then yielding' tactic to open the door, just so I could lure Qi Ke Xin to that place. There, she won't be able to use her mortal identity anymore. I'll kill her directly and throw her into the ravine to feed the wolves!"
"Please... even if her physical body dies, she's not afraid. It's just a change of dwelling..."
"...Soul scattering is your business." Mu Wanchen tore the bandage off his shoulder.
The cavity caused by the bullet has healed and is now a pale pink scar.
"Come on, let me get you to the helicopter," I said.
Evil star.
I'm buried in the books, frantically flipping through them. The mysteries of Shan Medicine, fortune-telling, and numerology require deep study to truly understand. With my limited knowledge, I can only grasp the surface meaning.
The evil star Rahu, also known as the Dragon Head, is the first of the evil stars. It is the remaining energy of fire and brings much misfortune.
I calculated carefully and found that no one in my family is experiencing the Rohu year. The bright ominous star should represent major world events. When I meet those mysterious high-level figures in the imperial capital, how should I address this
Jiang Qiyun appeared silently behind me. When I turned around, he had already embraced me.
"Something's wrong, something's wrong... his emotions are off!"
"Qiyun, do you have something on your mind" I asked, frowning.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at me in silence, his gaze sweeping over my eyebrows, nose, and lips inch by inch.
“What did that Great Wizard tell you” he asked.
"Huh What did you say"
"What are you looking at, Rahu" His gaze fell upon the pages of the book in my hand.
"Hold on, your mood hasn't been quite right lately... isn't this related" I pointed at the description of Rahu in the book.
He opened the book and said faintly, "You're overthinking it."
"Speaking falsehoods is against the rules, you know. Aren't you afraid of being punished" I reminded him with displeasure.
He chuckled softly and kissed my cheek. "Well What punishment do you have in mind"
"... I'll have you changing diapers, bathing, and feeding Guiyouthan. How does that sound" I snapped back at him.
Although I knew he was a hands-off boss, he's too carefree.
He chuckled lightly and released me: "Yeah, I should probably go check on them..."
Seeing him go to the nursery, I immediately recited the Bao Guan. Bai Wu Chang soon appeared before me. He looked at me in surprise: "Little Empress ~~ I'm not interested in your and the Emperor's bed affairs, please don't harm me ~~"
"Who told you all this! I'm asking you, has he been acting strange lately Is something going on in the underworld"
Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow, extended a slender finger from his wide sleeve and calculated: "Well, it seems about time to reach the state of 'sitting and forgetting'—"d water surging violently. I groaned softly, clutching Jiang Qiyun's fingers desperately, tears soaking my temples.For a moment, I was under the illusion that his hand was no longer icy cold, but radi...
