door himself and even hugged her and kissed her... He usually isn't this clingy."Jiang Qiyun smiled and got up, throwing his clothes on. "When a man wants a woman, he'll want her day and night. What's...Is that so Jiang Qiyun trusts me, I'm delighted! How could I possibly find it troublesome

"But... what can I do to help I have no money or power." I looked up at him.

In the human world, money and power are unavoidable, but I have no connection to these two things.

Jiang Qiyun smiled and said, "It's enough that you're willing to help. I don't have to go to the Shen family for everything. Besides, you look so angry."

I rubbed my face, was it that obvious

The Shen family has been keeping a low profile lately, probably because Shen Qingrui was put under house arrest. The people in the Shen family know that their enshrined Emperor God is angry, so everyone is on edge and not as flamboyant as before.

Qingluan secretly saved Shen Qingrui, and Jiang Qiyun also turned a blind eye to the matter out of face for Quan Heng.

After Shen Qingrui, things calmed down a lot. At least during this period of time, I haven't heard her name much. Word in the circle is that Shen Jia Kun is incredibly domineering, and it's estimated that Shen Qingrui has played a significant role.

If I want to grasp some worldly power, then I can only look at the Mu family. My older brother is the eldest son and grandson, and my father is in this state now with no intention of taking over at all.

So in the future, our Mu family will either have my grandfather fighting for power with his brothers, or my older brother will become the head of the family directly.

But the relationship between our main branch and the branch families is distant. We only meet when something happens, and it’s nothing like the Shen family, where everyone responds immediately and the disciples all bow their heads in obedience.

My grandfather doesn't care about these trivial matters; he only cares about his beloved wife, as long as there isn't a major disturbance in the household.

But the family's great power still rested in the hands of the Patriarch. He said one, no one dared say two. Financial control, important secrets, and magical artifacts were all in his possession. It was very difficult for descendants to seize them for themselves.

It seems I need to discuss this with my brother. Is it time for me to start preparing to take over

"...But you don't run around now, you've been arguing with me for so long, isn't it just to want these two children safe Stay away from danger." Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes and looked at my belly.

There are still three months, the old woman said that the fetus mainly nourishes the essence, qi, and spirit. The skin and flesh are the easiest and the last to recover quickly. In the last one or two months, it will grow very fast.

If Grandfather has to relinquish power to my older brother... this needs to be done quickly. I don't want to end up heavily pregnant and having to fight with the relatives.

Born into the Mu family, I couldn't escape a destiny intertwined with antiques, the deceased, malevolent spirits, and self-interest.

My grandfather crawled out of the grave covered in blood. After encountering that Taoist priest, all the descendants of our family who have been born into this circle live within it. The only person who has stepped outside, I'd say, is Uncle Cheng Su, but he also spends his days dealing with corpses and murder cases.

》》》

The next night, I saw a figure squatting and smoking by the side gate in the backyard from my room. It looked suspicious, so I quickly called my brother to tell him.

My brother went down with a stainless steel baseball bat in hand. He came back to the courtyard with the man shortly after.

I went downstairs to take a look, and it turned out to be Lao Lin, the mourner!

"What the heck are you doing squatting at our doorstep Trying to make your mark, huh" My brother raised his bat ready to give him a few whacks.

Lao Lin dodged while keeping his eyes on me, his cheek scar twitching. It was rather unsettling to see.

"You... you really destroyed the zombie's lair" he asked incredulously.

“What nonsense, or else we could've beaten you up with our bare hands Come clean! Did you collude with the zombie cultivators Why did you send me a message when we were at the ice warehouse of the zombie cultivators How did you know we were there!” My brother asked angrily.

Lao Lin’s half face twitched a couple of times, his voice filled with anger as he said, “I was trying to warn you guys! I went out to lay low, and figured the safest place would be near their icehouse, so I hid in the warehouse across the street. But then I saw you guys there…”

My brother scoffed: "Old Lin, you're not a young man anymore. You think we would believe such things"

Lao Lin's face changed, he didn't dare to speak.

We went to your house, there were quite a few corpses in the cans you keep. Do you dare say you have nothing to do with the corpse refiners Quite a few of those corpses passed through them, didn't they! I even saw your wife—

Lao Lin's expression changed drastically. He sprang up abruptly, his eyes blazing red as he roared at my brother, "What did you do to her!"

I was startled by his roar. He already had a menacing appearance, and when he actually became violent, it was terrifying.

My brother laughed and said, “Didn’t you go home to see us We were actually going to look for you, but your mother said your wife wasn’t very friendly to us…”

“You, all of you… You burned Little Jiao” Lao Lin’s face turned pale, and it didn’t look like he was faking it. He truly cared about that corpse woman…

I rubbed my temples, a slight headache coming on. It's amazing there are people with such deep-seated necrophilia.

Seeing Lao Lin looking like he was about to faint, my brother happily said: "You too, you should dress your wife in a nightgown. Crawling out of the can in the buff almost made me kill her!"

Old Lin knelt on the ground, holding his head and said: "…I know this kind of thing will eventually come to light… I often think, when my mother is gone, I'll set fire to all the cans in the house and myself… Now the world is different, a peaceful world, where is there still a need for corpse carriers."

"You don't have to be so pessimistic, just change careers, okay Who cares what you do at home, whether you want to be with an inflatable girlfriend or your little sweetheart. Nobody's going to mind, right" My brother said with a smile.

"You guys... didn't tell anyone about what happened" Lao Lin looked at my brother in disbelief, then at me. He couldn't quite believe my brother, someone so shrewd, and stared straight at me, demanding a clear answer.

"...We didn't say anything, and we didn't hurt your mom and...those cans. You go back and see for yourself." I told him.

"Thank you..." Lao Lin nodded at me.

"Then why were you squatting at my front door" my brother pressed, "You're a bad luck charm, there's no good reason for you to come looking for us."

Lao Lin's face twitched twice, and he nodded. "It's definitely not good news... I came to find you because someone asked me to."

"Who"

"The hospital's director."

I frowned as I listened to Lao Lin finish his story. It turned out that after the zombie's den was destroyed, no one came to collect the corpses with nine-aperture jade plugs. The dean didn't know and continued to arrange an ownerless corpse into the morgue. This corpse just stayed in the morgue.

After Lao Lin fled to avoid the limelight, the hospital hired an experienced old man accompanied by a young apprentice. The old man placed the corpse with the nine orifices plugged with jade into the last freezer.

That day, the old man warned his apprentice not to open that icebox and hurried back to his hometown to attend a wedding banquet before returning.

The little apprentice always obeyed the instructions, but there were strange noises in the mortuary. The little apprentice was so scared that he ran to the duty room and chatted with the security guard all night.

Before dawn, the old man did come back, but in a different way...as soon as I got in, I saw a ghost!"The little monk was on the verge of tears: "I followed the sound of the Buddha's name, but my master is gone…sniff…sniff…where did my master go""Little monk, are yo...
