I suddenly thought of my great-grandmother. It's been fifty years since she died, yet my great-grandfather used a soul tower to capture the anger of women and kept her in an underground tomb. He visits her every night, disregarding the laws of the underworld and bringing misfortune upon his descendants.

Could it be that the Taoist priest, like Tai Nai Nai, is also using some kind of magic artifact to remain a restless spirit

Jiang Qiyun turned his head to look at me, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Do you think your grandfather's deeds are unknown to the Underworld He was quite the character when he was young - digging up graves, forcing open the Ghost Gate, killing bandits and highwaymen... That soul tower was given to him secretly by a low-ranking official of the Yinlu Division. Tell me, how great do you think his abilities were"

When the time was right, the Mu family should have been wiped out to prove the laws of heaven and earth. It's a pity...

He lifted his hand and touched my chin, squeezing it gently.

“It’s a pity you were born, for you are a once-in-a-millennium Pure Yin coffin child. Thanks to your mother’s persistence and your father's devotion to your mother…”

His words left both me and my brother speechless.

We never really knew about our elders' lives. The Mu family was a secretive one; once children grew up, they mostly went their separate ways. Though they all remained within the same circle, there wasn't much deep emotional connection between them.

It goes without saying that the old man's heart belonged solely to his wife. He wasn't afraid of bringing misfortune upon his descendants, so why would he care about the well-being and longevity of his grandchildren

"I want to use you to conceive a fetus with innate spiritual power, so as to break the chaotic and evil energy of Huangdao Village. Therefore... your family's karma from before was erased in one stroke by the Yin Law Division that night."

Ah, so that's how it is... No wonder Jiang Qiyun said I became a sacrifice to pay off his debts.

My grandfather thought that so many people died in our house because the Ghost King was taking revenge, so when he sacrificed me, the prayer he recited was addressed to that Ghost King!

He almost killed me! That old bastard!

That Ghost King was so depraved and insane, how could he possibly leave me a blood jade dragon ring

“A woman born under the four pillars of pure Yin needs red, spirited jewelry to enhance her life force and ward off misfortune. That’s why I give you this ring, so you can grow up safe and sound…” He reached out and clasped my right hand, his icy fingers brushing past the dragon blood ring.

Good fortune, blessings, love between a man and a woman... such a betrothal gift, how could it possibly be meant to make me die

My eyes are a little warm.

No wonder I said before that he tortured me, raped me, he would get so angry.

Well, it's not really my fault, you know. Who asked him to be so... so brutal back then...

My brother had been listening quietly the whole time, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He blurted out, “Brother-in-law, do you like loli growth and loli play”

Pffft...

"Mu Yunfan! If you keep watching so many adult videos, I'll throw away your computer!" Jiang Qiyun didn't know what "loli training" or "loli PLAY" meant. What kind of brain circuit does my brother have!

Jiang Qiyun leaned against the car door armrest with one hand supporting his chin. He smiled faintly, curled his fingers, and scraped across my earlobe, causing a tingling sensation that was hard to describe. My ears were still red from being bitten by him just now, and that icy ambiguity hadn't dissipated yet.

He slowly said, “...waiting for a person to grow up is indeed a test of patience.”

My brother scoffed dismissively: "If I were you, I'd have already acted. You're not human anyway, so what are you afraid of 'Three years minimum, life imprisonment at most' Lolitas are the same… Ow! Xiao Qiao, don't hit me with the compass! That's dangerous!"

Is this your older brother!

My brother said with a smile: “Since I know Jiang Qiyun doesn't intend to kill you, I feel relieved. Our family's fate isn't over yet, that's great.”

Although he said it with a smile, I detected the worry hidden in his words.

He had never shown any worry or sadness in front of me, nor had he ever uttered a discouraging word. His mind was far stronger than mine.

“Alright! Good to know that Xiao Qiao isn't your sex slave. La la la… Brother-in-law, raising a wife isn't easy, don't bully my Xiao Qiao, okay ~ Hmm, did we just talk about that Taoist priest How come it turned into a confession… Brother-in-law, you've learned how to play the game too.”

This out-of-the-box thinking!

When Jiang Qiyun heard the word "sex slave," his face darkened.

I cannot laugh.

The Almighty Emperor not only helped my friend find a house, but also got called "weird" by my brother. I can't laugh it out.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The Situ family is a prominent family deeply rooted in the imperial capital. Their family affairs are low-key because their clientele consists almost entirely of high officials and nobles, so it's rare to see members of the Situ family.

"Hades made a hypothesis: if that Daoist knew some dark arts and, after being killed, possessed someone, luring villagers to continue killing for sustenance, and then cast spells on them, causing the people in the village to have the delusion that 'only by eating flesh would their bodies feel comfortable', once the village became a place unlike any other, filled with a dark and sinister atmosphere, he would report it to the country, allowing the country to use isolation methods to further ignite the resentment of the village, ultimately forming a vicious cycle where villagers would kill each other until they were extinct. Survivors would then flee, leaving him to cast spells and connect the boundary between the Yin and Yang realms here."

"Why do this Even if you want revenge, isn't it enough that so many people have died" I asked in bewilderment.

Jiang Qiyun shook her head: “...Do you know what a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is Endless yin and yang qi, it’s the fastest way to cultivate the path of corpse immortals. The more people who die, the better.”

"...Is that Taoist still alive" I shrugged.

"The Underworld's five thousand officials have scoured every corner, from the twenty-four prisons of the Six Palaces to every single holding cell. They haven't found his soul yet. It must be that he has possessed a living person and concealed it very well, without being detected by anyone." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly.

I really want to reach out and brush away the worry between his brows.

But his finger twitched, and in the end, it didn't rise.

I am just an ordinary person.

My brother asked curiously, “What kind of possession can be so airtight that even the underworld can’t detect it”

Jiang Qiyun's gaze fell on my face, as if encouraging me to answer.

"I'm not sure," I replied hesitantly. "Could it be separating the soul of the fetus in the womb, refining it, and then transferring it into another body That creature wearing Mu Yunliang's skin is very good at that sort of thing."

A hint of a smile played on his lips. "Some progress."

An ordinary child takes shape by the beginning of March, but a Lingtai is special. Its form doesn't develop until two months later. Mu Yunliang kidnapped me before and said something about helping me and separating my soul... that was all for —

"That's to extract half of the fetus' soul, refine it with him, and then return it to the fetus. That way, he can have a human body, innate magical power, and his own thoughts."

Taoism views the human body as a house, a shell that houses the soul. Possession means that the soul within the shell has been replaced by another.

That evil soul becoming my child... Just thinking about it makes me sick.

By this point, we've probably all guessed the background of the Situ family——trap these spirits, they dressed paper figures in the clothes of living people and placed them in dilapidated buildings, pretending that they were still at home. Some families, in order to prevent the...
