ot her name. It's obviously not the right time for her to appear..."He frowned, thinking of a way. I whispered, “What if we trick her out Knock her unconscious and check her”Jié Dù immediately nodded...There is a big difference between a populated area and an unpopulated one.

Last time I was here, although it wasn't bustling with activity, there were still people walking around, soaking in hot springs, taking strolls, and tour buses passing by.

Now there is a profound silence, and everyone has fallen asleep.

A sea of clouds enveloped the entire area, and a faint luminescence flickered within Jiang Qiyun's sleeve – the chilling gleam of his chains.

He used the soul-calling lantern to keep all souls within this area. Even if the female ghost tried to possess someone, he could recklessly restrain her without fear of the person's soul being devoured by the female ghost.

The dark clouds in the sky were like a huge battle, their heavy darkness shrouded this valley. Even the streetlights seemed small and flickering.

As we pushed the man past a street lamp, its bulb flickered weakly twice and went out.

My brother drew in a sharp breath and whispered, "This feels like the real-life zombie apocalypse... I have a feeling something's about to jump out..."

“Don’t scare me like that.” I helplessly put the soul lamp in my bag, still holding onto the handle tightly.

"Xiao Qiao, who is this Princess Sima … I feel like I haven't learned about her in history… Is she some kind of minor princess from a small country" My brother tried to make conversation, making the atmosphere around us a little less tense.

It's too oppressive here, the sky seems like it wants to merge with the ground, and those suspended black clouds look like they could drop at any moment, covering us and the earth together.

Jiang Qiyun and Bai Wu Chang were patrolling here cautiously, as they had been for this female ghost who had slipped out of the demon realm.

This ghost named Siman was able to make these two big shots "look at her with new eyes" and enjoy such special treatment. In life, she must have been a tough character.

However, the history of our country has always been written by men. There is very little written about women's history, and what there is tends to be brief and understated, as if writing about women were somehow unbecoming of a historian.

"And this name... it doesn't sound like a name from the Central Plains..." My brother furrowed his brow, deep in thought. "It seems like everything we've encountered recently has something to do with the world-shattering catastrophe that happened eight hundred years ago..."

“Look, those bronze talismans and miniature Buddha statues are offerings from practitioners who have fallen to demonic ways. This female ghost came fleeing from a rift in the demon realm... And judging by Bai Wu Chang's tone, Jiang Qi Yun attempted to open the passage to the Demon Realm behind Xu Wei Mountain at the time, causing these lesser demons to escape..."

"Originally, yin and yang were one entity with two aspects. The demons who fled to the underworld are still being hunted by Yin officials and ghost messengers, but those who escaped to the yang realm...that's our circle's business."

"This female ghost, she might have ulterior motives. Otherwise, why upon arriving in the mortal world wouldn't she want to hide her whereabouts but instead immediately seek someone to possess"

"Master He, who is skilled in finding acupoints, also uses the guise of Feng Shui to create ghost pits all over the place using soul-calling lanterns... This has the potential to disrupt the boundaries between the underworld, the mortal world, and the demon realm!"

My brother analyzed it thoroughly, and I could only nod along.

I can't see that far or that comprehensively.

When I was younger, I didn't understand. Now that I've grown older and seen more things, I'm starting to understand what Lin Yanhuan meant.

He said that women are naturally emotional and not suited for strategizing or engaging in complex political maneuvers.

Indeed, the wisdom of women is often manifested within the walls of a house, within a courtyard or palace. Of course, there are also some extraordinary women who are not inferior to men in terms of ability and reason, and even surpass them in intelligence and effectiveness.

But such cases are after all in the minority. By nature, I'm always only thinking about taking care of my family and clan.

Things that are too grand in scope and scale, I didn't have the ability or vision to observe and control before.

Oh, I wish Lin Yanhuan were here right now. Master Lin would be able to cooperate with us and give us advice.

"...Xiao Qiao, what are you worried about Even if this female ghost is powerful, with Jiang Qiyun and Bai Wu Chang taking action, there's no way she could catch... I think they might be luring her in a bit, trying to see who else is behind her." My brother pushed the wheelchair and leaned over to comfort me.

The man who was drowsy on the wheelchair suddenly jolted, his limbs stiffening as if he had been electrocuted. My brother and I were startled, and he immediately loosened his grip on the wheelchair handles, pulling me back a step.

"Damn...what's wrong with this guy..." My brother didn't dare to get close, pulling the Kun-lun sword from his backpack.

There's a slight incline here. After the wheelchair brakes were released, and with the manual parking brake not engaged, the wheelchair started to slowly roll forward.

I got goosebumps, and it felt like there was something unseen all around me, waiting to strike.

"Huh...what's that"

A figure flashed past behind the trees at the crossroads ahead of the wheelchair.

I gritted my teeth: " ... I'll go after him, you go catch the wheelchair. Don't rush into the lake."

Jiang Qiyun is right here, Bai Wuchan is also here, and I have all my magical weapons in hand. What kind of supernatural powers can this female ghost possibly conjure up

“Be careful, I’m at the hospital ahead. Don’t chase her to a secluded place. Just tease her around and scare the ghost out. Bai Wuchang has a grudge against her, so let him handle it. We shouldn’t break the rules.” My brother reminded me.

I nodded, clutching my small purse, and ran toward the fork in the road.

These past two or three years have been eventful. My brother and I aren't those kids who just turned eighteen or nineteen anymore.

"Hehe… Xiao Qiao, you're so soft! Didn't we say that breasts would get smaller after breastfeeding How come they're still so big and soft~~~"

That voice...Song Wei!

I came to a halt and looked around.

A deathly silence reigned, with no sign of human life.

Strange and eerie… I steadied my mind, these are just tricks commonly used by demons and ghosts.

It will magnify your inner desires and fears, transforming into the people around you, tempting and disguising themselves.

"Little Qiao..." Another voice came, making me startle.

Who is this

It sounds a little familiar.

"Little Qiao…" The voice rang out again.

I quietly loosened my grip on the lamp stand and tightened my fist around the Zi Xiao Ruyi in my bag.

"Long time no see, Xiao Qiao."

This voice sounds so familiar, but I can't place it! I just can't remember who it is.

"Don't you remember me It's only been a few years...It seems you're doing well, forgetting about the past." The voice carried a hint of regret and wistfulness, whispering softly behind me.

I suddenly turned back, a wisp of smoke dissipated, and the hazy scene was like a torn calendar, instantly erased from before my eyes.

Before I could make out what it was, the voice rang out again behind me: "Don't turn around...just let me look at you like this..."

“Who are you” I couldn’t help but ask.

I can't help but feel this way, I've heard this voice before, but I can't remember who it belongs to... Such a warm voice, who could it be

“I am…hehe…or perhaps I shouldn’t say. It might frighten you…I was imprisoned by a demon for a long time. When the demon dissipated, I became a lonely and wild ghost wandering in the cracks. Thanks to this… your husband tried to tear at the barrier seal, giving me a chance to escape that void of darkness…”

My husband

This voice, these words...

I clutched the Jia Gui Jue, and turned sharply—

“You, a ghost, know so much. You can even turn into Situ Lin’s appearance.”

Second and third fingers crossed, fourth and fifth fingers crossed, thumb pinches the Yinwen, center opening acupoint, aiming at the vague image that just flashed past behind.k to me: "A new bride, of course everything has to be new. Washing it once is bad luck... eh, how did the Blood King get blood on his clothes Are you hurt"I rolled my eyes and grumbled from inside the...
