575 December

ack, burning her skin. Then, an iron fence was used to scrape layer by layer on her back, removing shreds of flesh. Boiling water was poured again, and the process repeated until she died from the pa...I looked at my brother. He and Shao Yihang were standing at the entrance to the cloakroom.

My brother rummaged around inside. Shao Yihang crossed his arms and leaned against the wardrobe with a knowing smirk on his face.

These two are getting more and more in sync!

"What's so weird about your laugh…" I asked as I approached.

My brother always carries gloves in his backpack because he needs them often for work. He wears gloves when rummaging through things so he doesn't leave fingerprints, and Shaoyi didn't touch anything. He just held his hands clasped together as he watched my brother turn the place upside down.

The young woman at the door quietly tugged at Lao Qi's clothes, and the two of them walked away from the doorway to the study to whisper.

My brother glanced back at me and reminded me, "Xiao Qiao, go eavesdrop on what they're saying."

I frowned. "Why would I go I don't want to hear their private conversations. They're just going to be talking about some depraved…"

Before I could finish, my brother rummaged through a hidden compartment in the coat closet and pulled out a few things.

What the heck

"Poof..." My brother couldn't help but smile, and Shao Yi-hang also let out two cold laughs.

Looking at my confused expression, my brother said: "Come on, Xiao Qiao, don't look at this. Go and eavesdrop... Eavesdropping is important! We have to figure out what's going on."

This attitude clearly shows they are just dismissing me.

I have a general idea of what these things are for, but why do they look so strange

I silently chanted the Treasured Incantation to summon the minor ghosts, sending them openly to eavesdrop on what those two were saying. I myself stood at the entrance of the cloakroom, staring at my brother as he rummaged through things.

"These two are interesting, I don't quite understand what they're all about." My brother was looking at the items in the small cabinet.

I saw ropes, all sorts of strange little sticks, tails with plugs, some restraint clothing like what's used on mental patients, and some trousers made of two sticks...

Pffft....

This is just like a display at an XX exhibition.

Oh, wickedness! Oh, depravity!

"Mr. Shao, you high-class people play so lowbrow, aren't you afraid of the karmic retribution for lewd activities" My brother asked with a smile.

Shao Yihang frowned and said, "Don't count me in, I'm a rare clear stream."

"Ahem... ahem..." I almost choked.

Shao Yihang looked at me, dissatisfied and said: "Little Qiao girl, what do you mean I've never played around. Even if I did that, it doesn't mean I was being reckless, right"

"Alright, alright, you continue discussing. I won't interrupt." I held back a smile and tried my best to look serious.

My brother continued to put on a detective's air, stroking his chin and grinning wickedly: "Interesting... I originally thought it was the male owner who had an affair. Now it seems... maybe the male owner is the victim."

What How do you say that

“Look at these instruments, obviously used by women… And the target of their use is also women. Otherwise, what would these double-headed Xes be for” He sneered and curled his lip: “It’s better to follow the yin and yang rules properly than to stray into the path of evil and licentiousness.”

Shao Yihang frowned and asked, "You keep saying 'evil lust,' what do you mean"

My brother shrugged: “You don't believe me anyway, so what's the point of asking”

Shao Yihang turned his head unwillingly and looked at me: "Miss Xiao Qiao, explain"

"Um... it's like doing that kind of thing with someone other than your spouse... Also, it includes engaging with the wrong person, in the wrong place, or at the wrong time, and getting carried away by inappropriate things... All of these are considered adultery." I explained delicately.

"You guys are all talking in riddles. What do you mean 'inappropriate'" Shao Yihang asked, frowning.

“Anything that goes against natural laws, disrupts the balance of yin and yang, violates morality and ethics, and ignores principles of health and tranquility is inappropriate and harmful. Such actions constitute breaking the taboo against illicit sexual behavior, which inevitably depletes one's blessings and virtue… If someone possesses abundant blessings and virtue, the consequences may not be immediately apparent; however, for those who already lack substantial blessings and virtue, they are more susceptible to misfortune.”

I explained it to him, and seeing his furrowed brows, I sensed he wasn't very happy. So I tactfully added, "If you don't believe it, just listen for the sake of hearing it; you don't have to take it as gospel truth."

“ …You said it was easy to have accidents, I believe you.” he suddenly blurted out.

He sneered, "How many officials have been brought down by mistresses"

I didn't dare to respond. It seems like his father also has this issue

My brother had investigated and already had a good idea, plus the little ghost ran back to report.

"Little Empress, elder brother, that man has been scolding that woman, saying that she drove his wife insane and made her commit such a foolish act of suicide."

"What did she say" my brother asked with a playful interest.

"That woman said she hadn't expected this kind of result..."

This thing is really messed up, the female homeowner who committed suicide was bisexual. She was very dominant in front of women, like this mistress, she pulled the mistress into this unusual love affair and got along well with her all the time.

But this little three was only curious about getting into the water. After playing for a while, she felt bored and wanted to break up. Moreover, she came and went, and she caught the male owner's eye.

The male protagonist was always a coward. One time, he secretly met with his mistress and was caught by the female protagonist. The female protagonist was deeply stimulated and her mental state has been unstable ever since.

My brother chuckled and said, "This is a bit funny. I guess the woman thought she was having it all, dating two guys at once, but then realized she was the one being cheated on, and both of her boyfriends ended up together, leaving her behind. She got so angry that she did something crazy."

Shao Yihang sneered, “Lao Qi that coward has always been a moocher, living off his wife. He knows about his wife's preference but doesn't dare to object. I guess he thinks as long as it’s not with men, it doesn't count as wearing a green hat.”

The little demon whispered, “Elder brother, I also heard that woman say: Just ask a Taoist priest to rearrange the layout of their home. And on her seventh day after death, she'll obediently leave during the return-of-the-soul night Then we can be together, right It wasn’t our fault! She jumped off herself! Why blame us I even let her play for these two years! We don't owe her anything!”

My brother twitched the corner of his mouth: "I really don't want to get involved in this... I don't want to help either side."

"Don't say that... Now that we're here, let's just restore balance to yin and yang. As for the rest of cause and effect, let's not concern ourselves with it." I advised.

My brother curled his lip and, before leaving, gave me a few charms. He made an appointment to come back on the seventh day.

When we were leaving, we stood in front of the elevator waiting for it.

Outside, snow began to fall, the sky was overcast, and I inexplicably felt a chill run down my spine, goosebumps appearing all over.

The elevator shaft was brightly lit, tiled floor to ceiling with no dark corners...

Ding!

The elevator doors opened.

A sudden roar thundered down from the heavens, "Who is there!"

I was startled! Just now, that creepy feeling down my spine suddenly jolted me, and gradually faded away.

I looked up and saw an elderly man with white hair standing in the elevator, glaring at us angrily. feared the dam would burst, putting many downstream villages, which were built along the riverbank, at risk! There are already plenty of people seeking refuge. If these villages are destroyed, how m...
