't run out at the time and had just buried herself in her mother's arms and didn't cause a commotion, we wouldn't have escaped either.” My brother curled his lips and muttered, “That slap of hers was...Sometimes, the attitude of loved ones is very important.

The joy in my father's voice was impossible to hide, and it made me smile too.

Yes, yes, this is good news, there's new life growing, no matter the circumstances, it's a happy occasion.

We are not the kind of people who shirk responsibility, nor do we have any material pressures.

Then there's nothing to worry about

"...Didn't expect I was going to be upgraded Hehehehehehe..." Dad sounded a little dazed on the other end of the phone.

I chatted with him for a while and asked him to pass on a message to Jun's senior brother.

After hanging up the phone, I sat there for a few minutes, a little worried about the old woman's words, "no male descendants."

Is it just a coincidence that this happens every generation, or is there really some kind of curse

After Ms. Xue entered the Dharma, there was still no trace of her. That day, a ghost suddenly appeared in my room.

Couldn't something have gone wrong

Actually, it's only a little over a week in total, but it felt very long.

"Little Weng Fei, hi door..." Liang Xiaoger's voice sounded strange outside the door.

Mu Wanchen just instructed me to stay in the room, he's going back to delegate the basic matters to Lian Long and the two elders before coming back to accompany me. He also asked Liang Xiaoger to keep a close watch on me and not let me run around.

Liang Xiaoger is loyal and trustworthy. When I made a phone call, he ran downstairs to get something for me.

As soon as the door opened, he was carrying many plastic bags in his hands and a large supermarket bag in his mouth.

"Fruits, snacks, chili sauce... Princess Xiao, take a look, is this enough!" He placed all these bags beside the table and then crouched down to start sorting them out one by one.

As I was about to crouch down, Liang Xiaoger glared at me: "Hey hey hey, how can you crouch down What if you press on your stomach!"

"Which eye of yours sees that I now have a 'belly'! As if!"

"Hehehe... It's better to be prepared than sorry, you know Better safe than sorry..."

I gave him a withering look and rummaged through my bag, discovering a whole bunch of potato chips from the same brand, all the same flavor!

"Brother Liang, you're using public service as a cover for personal gain, aren't you You really like cucumber-flavored chips" I took a look, there were at least seven or eight buckets.

Little Brother Liang awkwardly smiled: "That... I ate this to stay awake when I was keeping watch for you last night!"

Hmph, potato chips with cucumber flavor can refresh you Just say if you want to eat them, I'm not that stingy, am I

That night, it snowed heavily outside.

The air conditioner in the room was blowing warm air, and I was nestled in Mu Wanchen's arms, listening to the sound of the wind outside.

Leaning against his chest, sitting on his lap, scrolling through her phone.

"Have you heard from Si Huang I haven't had a chance to ask you." I chatted with Mu Wanchen while looking through data on various gemstone auctions.

"No, there's no one at Youfang Lake, and there have been rocks falling, causing the water to overflow. All the surrounding plants have been poisoned."

"Uh... with such severe injuries, what do you plan to do" I looked at Mu Wanchen with worry.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly: "Repairs are too difficult, even using natural power takes a long time. We need to settle the people first. I'm not saying I don't understand compromise, but these people think and act very differently from the outside world. If suddenly tens of thousands of people appeared who could use poison and insects, it would alarm those in power and lead them to take action... We can't be too forceful."

"Master Yunfan could serve as a bridge for communication. I think Master Yunfan would be able to adapt anywhere, even if he couldn't make the final decisions, he could still help things move along and solve problems." I tilted my head and thought for a moment: "Master Yunfan said that once the rebuilding starts, he could covertly transport some materials over. Light steel structure panel houses are very easy to build now, but we need to choose a location."

Location is very important, whether it is built inside or outside the legal framework.

"Actually, even outside the Dharma gate, we can guard the entrances and exits to prevent people from mistakenly entering. We can also slowly allow everyone to get used to life outside. The jewels you gave me, I think they could be exchanged for a lot of money. Enough to rebuild our home."

Mu Wanchen looked at me in puzzlement: "You're going to sell it"

"Otherwise, where would the money come from Asking Master Yunfan to pay That's impossible! Of course, we have to pay for it ourselves." I said confidently.

Mu Wanchen chuckled softly: "Alright, Your Highness says so."

Those crystalline stones I suspect are diamonds. I'll have them tested when I have time.

My seventh senior brother's friend, Dao Zong, who we've interacted with before, is in this line of business. He mentioned before that he could help me test the amber bracelet. There should be institutions that can test those crystals.

"Um, Wanchen," I coughed lightly, pretending to be nonchalant. "Didn't you find Ms. Xue"

Mu Wanchen shook his head. "I went to the tomb of the Wu Wangshan City, but the gate of the tomb remained untouched. There was no trace of her outside the passageway. As for the tomb on the Si clan's side, I don't know the situation. Generally, only the patriarch can enter it. Since Si Huang is not here, for safety's sake, I didn't go in. I just had the divine eagle monitor the perimeter for a long time, but there was no sign of her."

"You said she was being controlled, so what does it mean that her soul left her body Why is she appearing beside me" I rubbed my goosebumps.

It's terrifying to suddenly see a human head phantom appear in a room. If it wasn't a common ghost, people would probably faint from fear.

But if I get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I'd probably jump out of my skin seeing this.

“There are two types of souls leaving the body. Some are unconscious departures, which may be caused by some kind of magic or a naturally unstable soul, but these are very rare… There is also a type where the soul leaves consciously, but no matter which type, all living souls follow one rule: most chase after blood relatives or obsessions.” Mu Wanchen held me close and explained in a low voice.

This can be understood as many loved ones or relatives seeing the ghosts of their deceased.

As the saying goes, before death, one may have a flash of insight or a montage of memories, where their most cherished people or things will appear in their mind.

I am somewhat worried, it's a feeling that is difficult to describe.

"You said... her spirit is chasing after me, isn't it... Is she in danger Or trying to give me a hint"

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly, gripping my shoulders and turning me to face him.

“Are you worried”

“I wasn't too worried, just that seeing it suddenly made my heart uneasy... I don't know how to explain it. The old woman said she hadn't returned and had lost contact. This situation feels a bit ominous...” I looked up at Mu Wanchen.

He reached out and stroked my hair, his brows furrowed slightly as he said, "Then I'll lift the barrier here. If there are any abnormalities, they should still appear."

I nodded, wanting to thank him, but before I could speak he lowered his head slightly and covered my mouth with his lips.ld Master said, I have to guard this house for ninety-nine years before he lets me go to the underworld...""If you answer my questions nicely, I'll let you go to the underworld right now," I assured i...
