irations, I am a great saint of unparalleled kindness. In the Northern Underworld's Fengdu, I am the Xuanqing Emperor, the Heavenly Venerable who absolves sins from Nine Hells.Look, I remember it all...In Yunan, everyone was eager to teach him all sorts of celestial knowledge—of course, the most important thing was how to fight.

But these little arms and legs wanted to fight, they had to learn how to heal and survive first, so Ji Tianxing taught him how to “borrow qi”.

This qi can be the sun, moon, heaven and earth, it can be mountains, rivers, or even all kinds of living beings.

And the finger techniques of celestial immortals and venerated gods are different from ours mortals. Watching You Nan's small hand nimbly forming the gestures, I can't help but feel a sense of relief.

"Humph... you guys won't teach me, so unfair," Yu Gui said with a pout.

"That's my master, he would naturally teach me." Younan stubbornly said, defending Ji Dou very much.

"Alright, alright. You're a girl, don't practice with Ji Dou Xingjun... he wouldn't be convenient to teach either, don't cause him trouble." I rubbed Yu Gui's little head.

Yu Gui pouted, laying on the table and glaring at the tiny bamboo rat. Suddenly, she blinked and stretched out her finger as thin as green onion: "Mother, I think I saw this bamboo rat's belly move!"

I reached out my hand and touched it, there was a slight rise!

The little boy, who had been worried just moments ago that the powdered medicinal pills wouldn't work, let out a sigh of relief and crossed his arms. "This is a miraculous elixir from the heavens! Just smelling it is a great blessing, it must be incredibly effective! Haha!"

I'm too lazy to call out his slightly guilty chuckle. I brought the little bamboo rat over and performed "CPR" on it with my two fingers.

This clumsy method actually worked, so Guikai happily clapped his hands and twirled around the table: "Saved! Saved! Mother, can we keep it"

“No!” I quickly refused. This wasn't an ordinary bamboo rat, this was a monster from Mount Xuangu! If it went berserk, what would happen if it took a bite out of them

Upon hearing my explanation, he scoffed, "This little thing could possibly have bad omens A little weasel is so adorable, why can't I keep this bamboo rat..."

"......This, this is different. Xiao Nie received the spirit beasts as a gift. These little ones are still in training and don't really understand human speech. Communication is difficult, misunderstandings are easy. If you scare them, or they scare you, it wouldn't be good... Besides, they're so small, they need to go back to their mother, don't they" I patiently soothed Yu Gui.

As a beloved daughter at home, she is indeed spoiled by her elders, but she is not willful. As long as someone explains things properly to her, she will listen.

"Then we should give it to its mother" Yu returned, looking at me with big, hopeful eyes.

It was the dead of night, pitch black outside. I shook my head, urging them to get a good sleep. We could talk about it when the sun rose.

As I carried the baby opossum back to the backyard, the bells hanging from the corner of the house suddenly tinkled in the breeze.

"There's no wind without a reason, this chill carries something beyond an ordinary night breeze."

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I looked back, and Jiang Qiyun said impatiently from inside, "What are you doing It's time for bed!"

"Something seemed to have flashed past..." I looked at the indigo sky, a few fine snowflakes rising.

"Nothing dares to come to the Shen family now. The Dragon of Mirage is temporarily lurking in the lake, waiting for an opportunity to take back the lost Mirage Pearl. It cannot be left in the world. I will also stay here for a while, you don't have to be afraid." Jiang Qiyun said.

I was taken aback for a moment, my nose felt a bit sour. It seemed that ever since I became the head of the Shen family, I had gradually forgotten what it meant to be afraid.

When a person is in a certain location, their thoughts will compel them to change.

"As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything." I smiled down at him.

Jiang Qiyun lay on the couch, propping her head up with one hand, and smirked: "Since you know who your backer is, why don't you come over and serve me well"

What the heck My face was beet red! This guy seemed so calm and collected, but under the sheets... I'm trembling just thinking about it!

Jiang Qiyun might not be considered someone who indulges excessively, but for me, every time is a rollercoaster of emotions, a blur.

The next day, when I went to return the two little bamboo rats, my legs ached so badly~~ It was like every step was a tremble.

Just as he turned back to walk to the middle courtyard, he suddenly heard a cold and familiar voice: “ … What’s wrong with you You look like an old woman.”

I listened to the sound and discerned its location, looking toward the gate of the front courtyard. A solitary figure stood against the pillar, seeming relaxed and content.

This aura, it felt as if he hadn't suddenly barged into the Shen family, but rather that I had suddenly appeared in his line of sight, interrupting his thoughts.

I walked up to him, and saw him rise straight from the pillar, brushing his sleeve and pulling up the collar of his sheepskin coat.

Lin Yanhuan... He looks a little haggard.

"When did you come" I blurted out. "Why are you standing here in the cold wind Wouldn't it be better to sit inside by the fire, drinking tea"

Lin Yanhuan smiled: "I drove here. I flew to the provincial city last night to handle some things, and then went to your house for a look. Your brother and Yanqin are all doing well..."

I nodded. "But I see you're not doing so well."

Lin Yanhuan sighed softly, "It's a busy time, and many things are difficult to say."

I don't know how to respond. Lin Yanhuan is from a different circle and a completely different level than us.

As ordinary people, we only need to worry about personal cultivation and family harmony. His vision encompasses the entire nation, while things that would cause him concern are beyond my ability to even offer advice on.

"Why don't you rest at the Shen residence for a few days Anyway, Jiang Qiyun has also allowed us to practice seclusion in the mountains..."

Lin Yanhua nodded and said, "It is indeed necessary to seal the mountain for cultivation. Now things are in disarray everywhere. The country is making emergency adjustments, and orders will be issued soon, prohibiting everyone from moving freely."

"...Plague," I whispered in response.

Lin Yanhuan didn't try to hide it from me. He nodded and said, "The situation is like a sudden wildfire, and it will spread very quickly... In ancient times, when epidemics broke out, there was always the threat of national ruin."

"You wouldn't let this happen, would you" I asked nervously.

Lin Yanhuan smiled: "Times are different, so the results are naturally different... But it comes at a great price..."

He Lin Gongzi, who is he If there were still nobles in today's country, he would be that pure-blooded red noble, the kind whose family is tied to the state. I've never seen such deep worry in his eyes.

"I...is there anything I can do to help" I blurted out. "Anything at all, just let me know if you think I could be of any use."

Lin Yanhuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly: "Xiao Qiao, even if the sky falls, there will be men to bear it. A woman like you should stay at home, tending to your husband and children, managing this family well. That's also a contribution to the country."

"Don't joke with me! I'm serious, what can we possibly do Usually in situations like this, the circle would perform a ritual to ward off evil spirits, but this plague is unlike anything we've seen before. We can't hold a large-scale ceremony..." I said anxiously.

Lin Yanhuan narrowed her eyes and looked at me, as if considering my trustworthiness.

"You, you just say what's on your mind... I can't help with big things, but for small favors, I'm duty-bound." I was a little afraid of his kind of gaze.

His coldness was different from Jiang Qiyun's.

Jiang Qiyun is an immortal deity who does not partake in the affairs of mortals. His coldness stems from his aloofness, transcendence, and otherworldly nature.

But Lin Yanhuan was different. His coldness stemmed from a profound understanding of human nature, an indifference to fame and fortune, and the ability to see through cunning schemes like shards of ice.

Before I could shrink back, Lin Yanhuan's voice came softly—

“......I do, actually, have something to tell you.”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!g wall, sent chills down my spine.This special hospital, which specializes in housing and treating autism and social anxiety disorders, emanates a faint sense of gloom.I am now very suspicious. As soo...
