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 bu...Hair is really a woman's weakness.

Regardless of whether it's long or short hair, getting your hair pulled will always make you panic.

My hair on the back of my neck was pulled so hard that I lost my balance and fell backward, hitting the edge of the bed with the back of my head.

"Brother, brother!" I hurriedly cried out for help.

My brother didn't rush in right away. Instead, he shouted from the yard, "Xiao Qiao, what happened to you! Damn it... This situation is beyond expectations, don't be polite to these things! Xiao Qiao—"

He should have been tied up, I could only figure it out myself. Luckily, my magic weapon, the Purple Heaven Wish-fulfilling Rod, was on me — charging him that honest BOY, he got my Purple Heaven Wish-fulfilling Rod twice and gave it back to me both times.

He was holding something that was actually useless. It was awkward to hold and fiddle with in his hand; he might as well be kneading two walnuts instead.

I arched my back and, as I drew the Purple Smoke Violet out, several things flew up with it. Without even looking, I channeled a spell to form a long sword, then with a sweep of my hand, cut off a few strands of hair from where my head had been seized.

The woman lying on her back behind me was trembling slightly. It was because she had just grabbed my hair!

Her abdomen twitched, her body shaking as she uttered in a raspy voice, "Where did you come from, little Taoist priest, daring to disrupt my cultivation..."

"Huh I looked at the woman. Her hair was soaked with sweat, her eyes closed, and saliva dribbled from her mouth. Her lips moved slightly, and a voice came out of her."

I don't believe that a peasant woman from the countryside would possess any martial arts skills. There must be something possessing her, and it's hiding its demonic energy very well.

"What are you Why are you harming this family" I held the Zi Xiao Ruyi tightly, slowly retreating to the door.

The woman on the bed had her legs wide open, as if in labor.

"Little Kun dares to interfere with my business..." A bulge suddenly appeared on the woman's stomach—just like a fetus moving its limbs in her womb.

Kao Lao Zou said the fetus should have no heartbeat, suspecting it was a stillbirth.

"You possessed this woman, using her unborn child to summon spirits" I guessed haphazardly.

A woman sneered: "Hmph... it's precisely because of people like you, who are both ignorant and pretentious, that I had to wait for so long. Finally, the opportunity has presented itself..."

Cow, cow nose!

This was a term of slight contempt used for Taoist priests in ancient times, because their hair buns resembled the pierced nostrils of a bull.

Now, I bet not many people would say this word anymore. It seems like whatever possesses this thing is quite old.

The other party looked down on me, sneered and said: “Possess I have long since hooked out her soul and seized it, why bother possessing! This woman is now my shell, my tool. If you dare to damage her - there will be blood to pay in the human world.”

This guy is so arrogant, he actually threatened me……

She has already possessed the body; if I forcibly take her away, this woman's shell will die.

Will my old family or neighbors let this "Taoist priest" of mine go out safely It's strange they wouldn't call the police and arrest me.

How can I possibly explain at that time, how I "caused" the death of a pregnant woman by breaking into her home

"Hmph... Don't want to cause trouble, just scram! This woman came to me on her own accord, it's heaven's will. You mere mortal, don't obstruct my cultivation—" Her voice grew louder and sharper, becoming increasingly grating.

And every time she spoke, her swollen belly would ripple and churn, sending chills down my spine.

"Xiao Qiao! Are you alright" My brother's voice called out.

I quickly reached out and unlatched the door, letting my brother in.

When I opened the door, a gust of wind hit me from behind. As soon as I pulled it open, my brother tackled me, pushing my head to the ground!

A chair flew straight at the back of my head. Luckily, my brother was quick to react!

I was shocked. I saw that the pregnant woman had climbed out of the window! There's a wall behind it, and part of the wall is still made of mud bricks—it wasn't very high.

We chased after them, but they vanished without a trace. At three in the morning, we have no idea where that pregnant woman went!

"This is insane." My brother kicked the wall hard.

He seriously said to me: “…… Xiao Qiao, this time we overestimated ourselves.”

I nodded slightly, indeed, we have seen a lot of storms and waves, thinking that this time it was just exorcising evil spirits, at most it was liberating detained ghosts.

We never expected that the situation with Lao Zou's family would be so much more complicated than we thought.

Not only was the woman possessed, but she also had accomplices.

"What's going on, Lao Zou" I asked.

"...I feel like I've lost my soul, probably scared out of it and taken advantage of, I need to summon it back... But with the state they're in now, who would call it back" My brother frowned.

Summoning the dead typically requires family members to perform it. Lao Zou's parents are currently senile and confused, so how can they summon Moreover, Lao Zou's wife has run away, what should he do

Perhaps the villagers would think that Old Zou was trying to force his wife to have an abortion, and when she refused, she ran away. Even if she disappeared without a trace from then on, the villagers probably wouldn't find anything strange about it.

Thinking about it this way, I felt a chill run down my spine. This woman is probably beyond saving... But if her body can't be used, then who will be next

My brother and I climbed back into the yard from the earthen wall. We found that the other side of the wall, which was Old Zou's uncle's house, was pitch black with not a sound.

With all this commotion here, not a single person came by to check on the situation

“Little Madam… Little Madam…”

A faint sound, we couldn't tell where it came from, both my brother and I heard it.

"...Little Lady, here..."

Someone actually called me!

"Bro, did you hear that"

"You heard that Where are you" He pulled out his flashlight and shone it around.

On the windowsill of a crumbling tile roof, two small things were bouncing up and down frantically, waving their hands wildly to get my attention.

I leaned in and exclaimed, "Adi, Ameng! You're alive!"

"Oh, little empress, you're joking. We are ghost messengers, how could we possibly come back to life..." Ah Meng replied.

My brother also leaned in to take a look: "How did you shrink down to this size! With such a small size, how can you catch ghosts You're better off catching ants!"

Indeed, they were only as big as my palm!

"The Emperor bestowed upon us lotus root vessels, but we are left with only a wisp of ghostly energy. Such a large body is beyond our control. And now, we can only manifest when our ghostly energy is strong..." A-Meng waved his hand, gesturing for me to look at him.

“Little Madam, don't blame yourself. Protecting you is our duty. It's a pity that we are shallow in our cultivation and couldn't protect you. The Emperor gave us the lotus rebirth, allowing us to gradually accumulate ghost energy. In the future, we will be able to return to our original forms!”

I don't know whether to cry or laugh, my nose is a bit sour.

"Little Empress, let's save people first!" Ameng reminded me.

"...To call his soul, but all of his family members are like this, how can I" I felt a bit embarrassed.

"Huh Aren't you a ghost messenger right now Do you have an invocation slip" A Meng jumped up and down, anxiously asking, "You don't even look at the invocation slip"

"Um... how do you look at it" I wasn't quite sure.

"Although you are a ghost messenger, which City God would assign you tasks without a reason! It's all because of what you do, and your attendance record will be updated accordingly! Don't believe me Just look at the signature—"

What! There's still a back door here!

I hurriedly pulled out the summoning scroll, my brother's flashlight shone over.

On the surface appeared a seal script with yin characters, I couldn't understand it at first glance, only seeing a few words: Two hundred years sealed ghosts...

"This character appeared so small and fast, how could I possibly see it…" I asked in exasperation.

These characters all appear and vanish, there's no time to study them slowly.

“Of course, the secrets of the underworld cannot be revealed casually. How much one understands and when they see it is all a matter of fate.” The little ghost official said with conviction.

My brother carried Old Zou into the main house and asked the little errand boys, "Can you two use spirit-summoning charms to summon spirits"

"That's amazing! We're ghosts, how could we not use soul-calling talismans—"

Before I could finish, my brother snatched the spirit summoning paper from my hand and handed it to the little ghost messenger. He smiled and said, "You guys call him first. His name is Zou Zhongping, don't get it wrong—My sister and I have some other things to attend to."

The errand boy, after being urged by my brother, hesitantly started working with both hands holding a summoning paper twice his height.

I was dragged out by my brother. I asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do"

My brother glanced over the low wall and whispered, "Didn't that old man say he lay on top of the wall and watched this side, even hearing the 'whoosh whoosh' noises How come there's so much commotion tonight, but not a single sound from him"

"What do you want to—"

"Let's go fishing. This old geezer must know something!"

I followed my brother over the wall, straddling it as I waited for him to reach me. A shiver ran down my spine.

Oh my... Why did Jiang Qiyun have to appear right when I was scaling the wall!

> my child would be like, thinking of my husband and the loved ones at home.What expressions will they make when they see the child"Ah——!!" Tears streamed down my face, it hurt so much! This was too pa...
