and fear surround me."Mu Xia Qiao... Mu Xia Qiao..." That ghostly face mumbled my name hoarsely, over and over again."Shut up!" I blurted out, a faint red glow emanating from the ring on my finger."桀桀...My problem seems to involve the secrets of Mount Wuzhi.

"...If you don't want to say that's fine, I just can't figure out why the old monster is so obsessed." I quickly waved my hand, signaling that I wasn't trying to pry into their secrets.

Mu Wanchen reached out to take my hand, letting out a soft sigh. "It's not that I wanted to hide it from you, but I can't explain it clearly either... This place has existed for almost two thousand years, burying too many things. Even the legends passed down through generations have become myths. What the old monster is obsessed with, I can only guess, and I dare not be sure."

I nodded to indicate my understanding.

"The old monster definitely knows more than me." Mu Wanchen frowned slightly: "Secret knowledge is different from ordinary knowledge. Secret knowledge will only become less and less, more and more mysterious. He wanted to catch you at first, but later found it wasn't easy to succeed, so he turned to use the proxy Dragon King to try, but the Dragon King..."

Mu Wanchen paused for a moment, then continued, "The Dragon King is someone with his own ideas. He wouldn't become a pawn without thoughts. As for whether the Dragon King died completely, I still hold a skeptical attitude. But for now, the crisis from the Dragon King has been temporarily resolved."

"But the old monster can't wait. He must be desperately wanting something, which is why he chose to implement his plan in a closed-off and secluded village. He hides in the chaotic otherworld, and it's not easy to come out, after all, every world has its own rules. I will do my best to prevent him from coming out."

“Then he changed his approach, perhaps inspired by opening the Yin-Yang well on Mount Jisha. He started using a formation that spread and devoured, gradually consuming everything in its path. If the formation's center is opened in another realm, we would be almost unable to destroy it here.”

I understand this, an eyelet can be understood as a nail.

You can only pull a nail out the same way you hammered it in.

"What do we do now Can that village be sealed off"

I don't dwell on what kind of secret treasure the Wuzhishan City might hold. No matter what it is, I find no allure in it. Nor am I curious about any magical stories that might be hidden here.

I just hope that Mu Wanchen can be with me peacefully and without worries.

Wealth and treasures are all external possessions, and historical sedimentation is just a legend to me.

"Wanchen, all I want is for you to be well. Now that we have... a baby, I'm even more afraid something might happen to you..." I said, my voice trembling. It wasn't like me to be so vulnerable.

Mu Wanchen knelt on one knee before the bamboo bed. He reached out and hugged my neck, gently rubbing his forehead against my forehead.

“Okay, I’ll agree to anything you say, but this old monster needs to be dealt with. I’m worried he’ll hurt you again. Before I understand his intentions, I have to be vigilant and check everything personally...This isn't me abandoning you.” Mu Wanchen soothed softly.

His voice was deep and mellow, the gentleness and tenderness in his tone when he spoke to me were irresistible.

Just like his embrace, his hands caressed from the back of my neck to my lower back. His warm and strong fingers seemed to soothe all the turmoil in my heart, bringing my emotions to a peaceful state.

"...me too, little Luo'er, I just hope you are safe and sound, don't face danger head-on."

No matter where I go, as long as you are behind me, at a single call, I will surely turn around and rush to you.

"When I'm with you, Witch King, sometimes I feel like *you* are my king."

He pressed his forehead against mine, speaking to me in a tender voice.

The wind and snow howled outside, but inside his presence was like a spring breeze caressing dew, filling the room with warmth and love.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew into the room. Someone pushed open the door and said softly: "Ahem, two, I didn't mean to disturb you, but there are some things we need to discuss"

The little apprentice wife, Mu Xia Qiao, has arrived.

After all, Master is not an ordinary person, and he holds a divine position. While he can appear freely before his junior wife, he is too lazy to show up frequently in places where we ordinary people gather.

He sent his junior wife to deliver the message.

"Master means, for now, not to worry about that formation" Mu Wanchen frowned slightly.

“Well, he said he’s already looking into it. The underworld hasn’t found any space distortions yet, so the formation must connect to a place outside the underworld.” The junior wife said: “Actually, we all know that the old monster is hiding in a chaotic alien world. We have no idea where it is. Under Jiang Qiyun's management, the underworld would definitely find any unusual spatial distortions. The old monster wouldn’t choose to hide here.”

Mu Wanchen nodded, listening to Mu Xiaoqiao continue.

“The formation isn’t fully formed yet, so I had the Shen family disciples set up a temporary seal—the Shen family is experienced in this sort of thing. This is much easier than that previous Wan Gui Cave. That one had years and years of evil energy dwelling within it, this one is still young.” Mu Xiaoqiao said with a smile.

When she said this, there was a hint of "arrogance" born from past experiences, as well as a touch of calmness and composure.

Well, although the little wife seems "small," she is indeed a remarkable person with extraordinary experience.

"However, Jiang Qiyun said that although the formation doesn't need to be dealt with for now and it's best to observe its changes, they should still investigate the special circumstances here. Don't let malicious people take advantage of the special terrain, history, or disasters. We have learned from past lessons."

Mu Wanchen nodded and said, "That place is sealed off, a place where ghosts can't easily get out. All the enshrined deities have been pushed into burial. Although the area isn't large, it has become a small land of exile. If not treated specially, this place will definitely become an abnormal place in the future."

The little wife looked at me and smiled, "Alright, right now the most important thing for you isn't these worries, but Little Yin Luo! Little Yin Luo is having a baby Hehehe...Congratulations, congratulations!" Be careful not to run around too much, understand about that pregnancy qi oh!"

"I heard that Mistress, back in the day, you were quite the wanderer too," I said with a smile.

She pouted slightly and said, "I had special things to do back then, of course I couldn't just stay home and rest... In the end, I honestly stayed at home for the last bit!"

She smiled and said, "Gifted children are definitely different from ordinary children. Your pregnancy experience is also unlike others. You don't need to worry too much; this baby is sure to be strong. Relax!"

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but start getting a little excited—yeah, what kind of baby would it be

Mu Wanchen said to his young apprentice wife, “Since you're here, please accompany her. I'll go check that village again tomorrow.”

"No, let's go together. Didn't Little Yin Luo see a skull of a spirit and even dreamt about exhausting the yellow-skinned goblins Let's go together, maybe we'll find something." The young mistress said with conviction.

Mu Wanchen pondered for a moment, then turned to look at me.

I definitely want to go, my little wife also spoke up for me: "How come all you men are the same Even Jiang Qiyun used to be too lazy to explain anything to me. Now you always think of shouldering things yourself, that's not good, it just makes your wife worry more."

"Alright, let's go together," Mu Wanchen nodded. police officers to patrol this area!""Well... but these two little treasures are protected by celestial powers, they'll definitely be safe and sound. Don't worry so much, you're going to wear yoursel...
