just that we don't want him to get involved. We can handle these things ourselves, and if it really comes down to it, he can lend a hand... Grandpa, do you know where the village of corpse-bearers is...“What’s in that black hole” He dragged me back to the room, and didn't say a word. I could vaguely guess why he was angry.

Last time Lin Yanhuan touched my shoulder, he almost declared ownership in someone else's guest room.

He can be stingy sometimes.

Be stingy!

Jiang Qiyun didn't answer my question. Instead, he pulled me straight into the bathroom and frowned, "You reek of evil energy and other people's scents. Get cleaned up."

I wrinkled my nose, a bit resentfully. "You're not any different either."

He crossed his arms and looked at me with a smirk: "Are you inviting me to join"

This is not Yin Jing Tian Gong, there are no gentle maids to serve his daily life.

“I can help you with things like putting water in your glass or getting your clothes. But everything else, you'll have to do yourself.” I said with a slight frown.

"...Where did you learn to serve people And you even have a look that makes one's heart melt." He sighed lightly.

The wounds of a blood curse never heal, like a brand seared onto the body.

Although he used a chrysanthemum to conceal the scars on his skin, a gentle touch could still feel the slight unevenness.

He chuckled softly, holding me close and murmuring into my hair, "…Little Qiao, little Qiao, how could you be so good…"

"...what's good, what's easy to bully"

To be honest, I'm only now truly experiencing how difficult pregnancy can be.

Because of the unique nature of a spirit child, it primarily cultivates essence, qi, and spirit. It only starts to rapidly grow skin and flesh in its final stage, so I didn't show any signs of pregnancy until the last three months. And when I did, it was particularly intense – my bones were pushed apart inch by inch, leaving no time to adjust. I could feel myself growing larger every day.

"The first pregnancy is always a double whammy, it's hard work but that's normal...now we're used to it, aren't we" He smiled and kissed my cheek.

He told me to hurry up and take a shower, but I was sitting on the sink chatting with him.

This icy touch and rare intimacy were truly irresistible. Leaning against his shoulder, I felt both real and unreal at the same time.

"Now I'm afraid too," I confessed to him, something I rarely did. Watching my belly grow bigger each day filled me with growing anxiety.

Talking about having a baby is so foreign to me, I know nothing about it, and he probably understands even less. Even if I search the internet for tons of information, it won't be able to ease the anxiety I feel.

What are my peers thinking about Eating, drinking and having fun

But I was thinking about how children are born and how to raise them afterward…

That night, we had a rare chance to talk for a while. He didn't mention last night's events, and I still had to go downstairs and ask my brother about the situation.

Surprisingly, my brother was actually brought back by Lin's car!

"Xiao Qiao, what are you looking at me for" My brother asked, clueless.

"You, you didn't come home last night. Are you staying at the Lin family" My heart pounded like a drum. When I calculated my brother's fortune, he was truly blessed with love, and his overnight stay at the Lin family sent my anxiety skyrocketing.

"Rubbish, I argued with Lin Yanhuan about strategies last night until 3 am. I'm exhausted! I just stayed at his place for the night, what's wrong with you—"ing demons"If you don't run, I'm leaving on my own!" I crouched down, silently reciting Qian Chong Xue's incantation to dispel the darkness outside.He gave me a shield-like barrier, I should be able t...
