ed to fight Elder Sister Tian for him! After being sent here, she was killed within half a month. You city folk are just too weak! Not even a child left behind. All that good food went to waste. Hey,...Lin Yanhuan came back to her senses and chuckled softly, "My apologies... I never expected a young woman like you to speak to me like this. It feels a bit... strange."

I closed my little notebook and glared at him unhappily: “I won’t say it again. Whether you remember or not is up to you.”

"Don't worry, I remembered it all... Is there anything else I should pay attention to"

"...That's all, some feng shui decorations you should ask my brother, he can tell you how to arrange them at a glance."

This guy is weird. When you talk to him, he spaces out all the time or gives you these strange, knowing smiles.

This evening, when my brother got home, I complained to him: "Lin Yanhuan is such a strange person. One moment he has a stern face and looks serious, the next he's daydreaming with a goofy smile... In the future, you should just handle clients like this. I can’t even catch ghosts without my seal anymore. Maybe we should just focus on our family business."

My brother touched his chin and said, "This guy must have taken a liking to you... He personally came to find you for something as small as looking at a house. He used to leave these things to his subordinates. I think he's using this as an excuse to get close to you, and you, the foolish girl, didn't even ask for anything! He specially sent love!"

I'm a little annoyed. What are you doing near me I'm already stressed out enough. The other day, I yelled at Jiang Qiyun and really made a scene. Now I've offended him too. I said things like how I'm his wife until death do us part and that he's being childish for getting angry over a fight.

Damn you, you piece of trash!

"Alas~~ it's no wonder people feel that way~~ My little Qiao is eighteen or nineteen, fair and beautiful with a waist like willow~~ People are just seeking out the best match, who knew my little Qiao has already fallen into a pit~~"

I glared at my brother and went back to my room to sleep. As soon as I pushed open the door, I felt a wave of icy air. Could Jiang Qiyun be back!

"Jiang—" I was about to speak.

A ghastly white face suddenly swung down from behind the door!

Glaring malevolent eyes, lips as crimson as blood, and a white robe—

"Little Madam, how are you"

"Ahhh—" I jumped back in fright. It was Bai Wu Chang, this old man!

He floated down from the ceiling, thankfully he didn't stick out his tongue in greeting. My heart almost stopped!

"What's Xiao Qiao doing" my brother shouted from downstairs.

Bai Wu Chang made a "hush" gesture. I replied, "It's nothing, just scared myself."

"Watch out! Pregnant woman! Ancestor! I thought you rolled down the stairs!" My brother mumbled, continuing his game.

I walked into the room and closed the door.

Bai Wuchang drifted about the room: "Little Lady, your room is so simple."

"What do you want to say" He shouldn't be here visiting me, should he The Black and White Impermanence, those two big shots are very busy. As middle-to-high-ranking deities of the Underworld, they definitely have a lot on their plates. Even the little imps said that the Seventh and Eighth Lords were very busy.

In folk tales, Bai Wuchang Xie Bian is usually referred to as the Seventh Ye, always with a "wicked grin"; Heiwuchang Fan Wujiu is called the Eighth Ye, a black-faced god.

The white-robed figure drifted about, sending chills down my spine. He smiled without answering my question. To be honest, if he wasn't deliberately trying to frighten me, his face wouldn't have been particularly terrifying; it was just the sinister air about him that was unsettling.

If he were to come as a guest, should I politely say something like, "Please sit down, have some tea"

Just drifting around like that, it makes me feel uneasy.

"Oh... Just such a simple little room, and it actually makes the Heavenly Emperor linger here, huh~" He sighed, "Yinjing Tian Palace has a high bed and warm pillows, where is there anything better Why would you have to come sleep here..."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Sorry, my house is small and run-down."

"Hee hee… Little Empress, the Emperor asked me to give this to you. Husband and wife are supposed to make up after a fight. There's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight. Don't lose the token." Bai Wuchang took out a pendant from his sleeve.

It was a blood jade seal, carved with exquisite detail, that the woman had discarded.

"It wasn't me who lost it..." I mumbled under my breath.

"Yes, given what happened last time, Your Majesty has redone the amulet's cord. Little Lady, please take good care of it." He pinched the cord and placed the pendant in my palm.

"Why are you the one sent here Where did he go" I asked, trying to sound brave.

"Well, it seems the Emperor of Hell isn't around," Bai Wuchang let out a gleeful chuckle. "He's been sent by the Azure Emperor to cultivate lotus flowers in the Blood Pool, ha ha ha ha..."

What, what I was completely baffled. What blood pool, what lotus flower

These two nouns, one terrifying and the other noble, are completely different in connotation. How can they be associated together

I know that the Heavenly Emperor Qinghua, Taiyi, is considered an old leader of the underworld, but what the hell is a blood lotus

"Little Empress, have you heard the saying 'Divine powers are no match for karmic retribution' Karmic obstacles and their causes and effects are the hardest to eliminate for gods, demons, humans, and ghosts in all six realms. The Jade Emperor Qinghua was able to turn a pool of blood into a lotus flower to transcend karmic fruits. Now, Your Majesty is quietly reflecting and planting lotus flowers."

Jiang qi yun jing xin zi province Is it to save me

I feel a little guilty inside. I think he lied to me, and I'm full of anger and resentment that I don't know where to vent. He was even more aggressive than me, so I just ended up shouting.

But he went to great lengths to save me, and burdened himself with karma. I don't understand these things about cultivation, it feels like when ordinary people break the law and face punishment.

" ... Will he still give me this seal" I looked at the exquisite seal with auspicious clouds and a coiled dragon in my palm.

"To whom would you give it if not to me" Bai Wu Chang looked at me with a puzzled expression: "Your Majesty has no other concubines."

I'm dumbfounded, so you can take a concubine

"A marriage to the Emperor, isn't it just about being together until death do us part, a fated connection that never ends Whether you live or die, you'll always be the Emperor's wife. Unless... after you die, you drink Meng Po soup and secretly jump into the Wheel Reincarnation Well, then it should be considered over... Keep this a secret, okay If the Emperor knew I told you this divorce method, oh my~~ so scary~~"

I vaguely feel that Bai Wu Chang wants me to end this relationship. He thinks I caused Jiang Qiyun trouble and am a burden.

Knowing that Jiang Qiyun wasn't intentionally avoiding me made me feel much better. I was so resolute during the argument, but after it ended, I felt a lot less confident.

I considered Bai Wu Chang's words about the "too plain" room, and thought maybe I should spruce it up a bit, give him a way out, let him know that I didn't actually want him to leave

On the ninth night, I was half asleep in the middle of the night when I suddenly felt a weight on my body—am I being pressed down by a ghost!

That icy breath lingered in my ears, pricking my skin with a slight pain that quickly gave way to a tingling, prickling sensation.

"Jiang Qiyun" I was just about to open my eyes when his hand covered them.

He leaned down and bit my earlobe, his clear voice ringing in my ear: “ … Have you calmed down Are you still going to argue with me”

I……ttle yellow fellows were oblivious to the commotion, or perhaps they were simply used to it.Mu Wanchen frowned slightly and said, "…This person, there's no ghost possessing him."I rubbed my goosebumps...
