s still not back. I started to get scared. I knew something about these things too, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt something was wrong with the root carving. So I stuck some charms aroun...We could only make our way home with the traffic, like snails. When I cook, I always get distracted, worrying that Jiang Qiyun might be in danger.

He is the Lord of the Underworld, although he is only an avatar and equivalent to a split soul, his power is greatly reduced. However, in the mortal realm, there should be no evil spirits or ghosts that could oppose him.

But what if the opponent is malicious What if they are someone who deliberately seeks to subvert order, perhaps laying traps that are impossible to guard against

I never believe that anything is invincible. Heaven and Earth, yin and yang, are born and destroyed in dependence on each other. Just like Jiang Qiyun said, even immortals need to go through tribulation. Nothing is eternally unchanged.

He was cooking and eating absentmindedly like that until Jiang Qiyun appeared with a sullen face.

"Well, brother-in-law, you're finally back. Qiao has been restless here, and I can't even eat properly." My brother snorted coldly.

This guy has finished two bowls of rice, and he dares to say he doesn't know the taste of food

"Little Qiao, there's really no salt in the soup tonight. I saw you were in a bad mood just now and didn't dare to say anything. Don't believe me Just taste it."

I glared at him and went to the kitchen to get salt. When I came out, my brother had already poured a cup of tea for Jiang Qiyun.

"...You're just watching their live-action fairy fight in the hotel Hahaha!" My brother laughed so hard he was lying on the table.

Jiang Qiyun's face was expressionless as he stated calmly, "Neither of them had the ghostly pallor of a ghost king's thrall, nor did we find any signs of possession on that woman."

My brother looked at Jiang Qiyun with a sympathetic face: "Brother-in-law, it's really hard for you. To watch an action movie about love up close... pff... hahahahaha... It's so spicy! It's comfortable to do it yourself, but watching others do it is simply heartbreaking! Hahahaha, ouch!"

I can't stand this old driver of my brother anymore, Jiang Qiyun is already rough enough, please don't teach him any more, okay!

Jiang Qiyun's face didn't show any ripples. He simply raised his teacup and took a sip, quietly watching me beat up my brother.

"Alright, alright, Qiaoqiao stop hitting... You're tickling me with that little bit of strength. Let's talk business, talk business!" My brother grabbed my wrist and pushed me onto the bench.

Jiang Qiyun continued, “After that, Mu Yunliang got in a car and drove to Changhu Road. When I went after him, he disappeared… I suspect someone is manipulating him, maybe the people who set up the magic circle at Zhong’s place are behind it. It could be Mu Yunliang.”

My brother shook his head repeatedly: "This incompetent fool doesn't know how to do anything. How could he possibly set up a formation... No, he's not Mu Yunliang anymore, he's just wearing Mu Yunliang's skin!"

“Besides stripping the soul, there’s another purpose to this,” Jiang Qiyun frowned. “It allows one to extract the memories of the person whose skin was peeled. He should remember what Mu Yunliang had in his mind, perhaps… it could be detrimental to the Mu family.”

My brother swallowed nervously and asked, “How can we destroy this zombie I even told Xiao Qiao today that it might be a human skin scarecrow. Do we need to burn it”

Jiang Qiyun looked at me: "Are you familiar with that woman"

"Who Guo Wenli" I shook my head. "Not familiar, just classmates, only know her name... But I can see her Moments."

"What is a circle of friends" Jiang Qiyun frowned.

"She often posts her updates on WeChat, and I can see them." I said as I pulled out my phone to show Jiang Qiyun.

Li Li, such a fashionable girl, can't wait to share every move with everyone for likes. Her latest post is a selfie taken at the hotel glass window.

Jiang Qiyun squinted at the picture, saying in a low voice, "This woman probably won't live long."

"No, no way... She seems totally fine..."

"Zombies need the vital energy of living people to survive. If Mu Yunliang urgently needs a living person, then she would definitely be the first one."

The matter of the formation hasn't been resolved, and now Mu Yunliang has appeared again. My mind wasn't great to begin with, now it's even more chaotic and I can't find a solution.

LILI's friend updated her circle of friends with a new message and picture, leaving me in a state of contemplation.

It said: "Eating late-night snacks, where's my boyfriend If he doesn't come soon, I'll eat his share!" Her selfie with a pout showed the sign of a barbecue restaurant.

My brother's eyes lit up: "Come on, come on, I know where this store is! Let's stake it out. When we see Mu Yunliang, we'll catch him!"

I looked at Jiang Qiyun. He hesitated for a moment before nodding.

As soon as I stood up, my brother hesitated and said to Jiang Qiyun, "That...if we go to catch someone, we'll inevitably have to run and fight. Xiao Qiao is better off not going. She can't run or fight now, and we'd have to worry about taking care of her."

Am I a burden, then

Jiang Qiyun frowned, reached out and tapped my chest, saying: "Go back to the room and stay there. Don't go out."

So I was just abandoned at home like that.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Before, whenever there was something going on, my brother and I always went together. Now that he can see Jiang Qiyun, he just leaves me behind like a burden, sigh.

Time went by little by little, and I didn't know if they had caught Mu Yunliang. The phone at home rang constantly. I was puzzled why my brother wouldn't call me on my cell phone and instead made me run down from the third floor.

"Hello" I picked up the phone in my house.

"How did you get the phone Come to Chang Hu Road quickly, something happened to your family! That Mu Yunfan is your brother, right"

I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Who are you"

"Police officer! Your brother is in trouble, come quickly! Chang Hu Road intersection!" The other party said angrily before hanging up the phone.

I stood beside the phone, stunned for a few seconds. My brother He was in trouble He went to Chang Hu Road to confront Mu Yunliang Wasn't Jiang Qiyun with him How could he have gotten into trouble Why was it a patrol officer who called

I anxiously grabbed my phone and keys and ran out the back door.

This area is a commercial culture district, filled with antique shops, artisans showcasing ethnic styles, and traditional workshops. After dark, it becomes very quiet, a stark contrast to the bustling business district nearby.

I hurried outside the alley, and after only two steps, a chill ran down my spine. That sharp and alluring female voice appeared again—

"Your Majesty…"

I stood there dumbfounded. This was the third time I'd heard that voice. It seemed Jiang Qiyun couldn't hear it at all. Why could only I

Every time I turn back, I can't see anything unusual.

But this time...

My back hair stood on end, and I had a creeping feeling that if I turned around, I would see something.

Why does this woman only call out "Your Majesty" Is she another woman who served Jiang Qiyun How many women does this man have!

I held my breath, slightly leaned back, and quietly clenched the five emperor coins in my hand.

Darkness lay behind me.

I had just let out a sigh of relief when a pair of ghastly white hands slowly emerged from the ground. A moment later, a woman with disheveled hair popped up, her face marred by deep fissures. Her voice was thin and alluring: "My Lord Emperor…" sizzling with black smoke.I gently stroked my belly, begging the two little ancestors not to make a fuss.My brother beat me to it and stuck a talisman on the mirror, preventing the evil spirit from h...
