I didn't dare to step forward. Seeing Mu Wanchen use his short sword to pull the cat out, it was already dead.

Grandma Chung's face was covered in scratches, her cheeks almost raw from being clawed by the cat.

"Is there still any hope for her" I hesitated to ask.

Mù Wǎn Chén turned back and asked me, “Do you want to save her”

This… our family's habitual thinking is that when we see something dying, the first reaction is to save it. That's not wrong, right

Let's settle accounts after I've saved them. At worst, I'll just leave them half-dead so I can ask them questions!

After hearing my reasons, Mu Wanchen shook his head, a hint of helplessness and gentle mockery in his voice: "Do you think you can save her She's not an ordinary person."

"I didn't think I'd have to save myself," I said, with a straight face. "Aren't you here for that If not, I'll drag you home and find the senior brothers! All I did was open my mouth; it's all of you doing the work."

He looked back at me helplessly.

I mumbled under my breath, puffing out my cheeks: "… I don't understand Taoism or witchcraft, my skills are lacking, so I can only ask others for help..."

"He's got a little bit of self-awareness, after all." He turned and reached out to touch Old Mrs. Zhong's chin.

Grandma Zhong's eyes were rolled back in her head, her mouth was black inside, and her jaw seemed dislocated. Her tongue hung out of her mouth, making her look both sickening and terrifying.

Mu Wanchen caressed her Adam's apple and the back of her ear, then suddenly reached out and pulled at her clothes.

The old man's clothes were all buttoned up tight, so he ripped open his shirt directly.

What are you doing Being rude to an old woman

"You, you..." You have this kind of hobby! I didn't dare to say it out loud.

Mu Wanchen ignored me completely. He reached out and rubbed his hand over Old Zhong's chest.

“She has markings on her,” he said in a low voice.

Immediately, his fingers felt something peculiar on Old Madam Zhong's left breast, a patch of skin-like material. He peeled it away.

Underneath the skin, there was a blue tattoo. I quickly opened my phone flashlight to take a closer look.

What kind of totem is that It looks like oracle bone script, a shape similar to the character "hòu".

"What then" I asked.

Mù Wǎn Chén shook his head: "It's 'Sī'... I know who it is..."

Did you say something

"That's the name of the tribe" I suddenly realized.

"I suppose so, but that tribe's population is quite mixed. Only the direct lineage of shamans have this tattoo," Mu Wanchen said.

Without much explanation, he said to me, "This witch is done for, a pawn that's been discarded. Let's go, I'll send you back first and then I'll deal with this."

Then he took my hand and pulled me out.

"Hey, hey Just left here like this No way, the person's not dead yet, right"

"Come on, let's talk as we walk." He dragged me out without giving me a chance to object.

With him around, I'm not afraid to walk in the dark. I keep asking who wants to harm me.

Mu Wanchen pulled me toward my house, speaking in a low voice: "Among shamans, there is a distinction between male and female. Females are yin and called shamans, while males are yang and called wuzhi. In the Mi Jiang school of shamanism, there is a lineage that venerates females... That vengeful spirit comes from that lineage."

“In order to survive, the Mekong River basin has sealed off its gates. Outsiders can't usually see or enter it. However, for certain purposes, some people are dispatched outside. Some of them don't want to go back after they come out, like this old woman. She should be considered an exile because of your situation, she was found again.”

You felt danger just now, it was likely someone used the old woman's body as a vessel, hiding a snake spirit—the thing wandering in the alleyway came out from her body. Snake spirits can't exist outside the barrier for too long, they returned without achieving anything and devoured the black cat, then went back into her body. Humans can't eat that black cat, which is why it got stuck in their mouth.

My mouth formed an O shape, it's a snake again! No wonder the windows and doors were sliding open, it must have been caused by the snake crawling past and moving the door and window panes.

"Aren't they under your jurisdiction Trying to rebel" I asked.

"...because of the advantages of female mediums, they have always been unruly. However, since the Ten Witches of Ling Mountain, all successive Divine Kings have been men. There is no way to defy them. But as time passed, for several hundred years and generations of witch kings failed to become Gu Kings, so the power of the Si clan became strong and increasingly domineering."

He shook his head slightly, seeming somewhat resigned to the tribe.

"Could it be...because that tribe is powerful because of women, you're hesitating" I had a sudden realization.

He remained silent.

My God... what a straight man!

“They’re going to deal with me now! If you keep being soft-hearted, when I and the Venomous Gu die, don’t regret it!” I snarled at him, kicking him a few times.

This guy is such a straight man! He can still tolerate it even though others are being so domineering, I'm speechless!

“I’m not soft-hearted, can you still act like this” He coldly turned his head and glanced at me.

"But he wants to harm me, you see! If I don't make a fuss, what are you going to do" I asked.

He stopped and said, “I’ll take that old woman back. The danger around you will be much smaller…that method of borrowing life, you absolutely must not use it.”

“I wouldn’t do that! I just wanted to hear how this old woman is trying to sow discord and harm people! Now that you say it, I know why she wants my sister to harm me!” I said huffily.

He gave a faint "hmm" and continued walking toward my house.

I talked and talked for a stretch, but his silence stopped me in my tracks.

Besides talking about things, he only ever chatted in single syllables at other times.

You wouldn't last long on a date with that personality. You'd definitely be left behind!

"No wonder you have so many beautiful women around you, but no wife…" I muttered.

"What did you say" he asked, tilting his head.

"Those two women who helped me bathe and dress that day were pretty cute. Are they your women You can't marry them because you can't raise venomous insects for them, right"

Mu Wanchen's footsteps faltered, his voice laced with a barely suppressed anger: "Don't talk nonsense. Within the tribe, marriage is no longer allowed."

What does this mean

He seemed a little annoyed, probably because I had said something he didn't like. He walked me to my doorstep and let go of my hand, saying, “Go back now. I’ll watch you go inside.”

Before the house, white hitching posts stood in the night, and there he was, that big oaf, that stupid lump of wood, just standing there — watching me come home.

"I'll take that old woman away and be right back. I won't be gone long. You better not run around while I'm gone." he warned.

Hmph, go ahead and leave.

I walked to the front door of my house and sneakily glanced back. He was already gone...
