Gui at my chest also raised her little chubby hand to pat my face. You Nan was tugging at my hair, as if all three of them were comforting me at the same time.Jiang Qiyun reached out and untied the Yu...On the way back, my brother drove with a grim face. Old Chen had completely passed out and was lying unconscious in the back seat.

I think I'm such an idiot. What was I thinking, saying "Okay, okay"

The little ghost told me with a sympathetic look that if I answered the words of these wronged souls, they would follow me, commonly known as "ghost followers."

I dare not look back now, our car is surrounded by gruesome ghosts, their flesh torn and their intestines spilling out.

"Alright... Xia Qiao, stop crying. Let's just take this as a lesson learned... From now on, I'll keep my mouth shut too and never answer carelessly again." My brother finally managed to say a word after holding back for so long.

I covered my face, unable to look up. I was afraid that from the reflection in the glass, I would see these shattered ghosts, now right behind me.

Because of this fear, I couldn't sleep at all. My brother was also on edge driving, afraid that these vengeful spirits would lead us to a ditch.

He drove all day today, and when he got home, he was exhausted. He just threw Mr. Chen on the floor and collapsed onto the couch without even taking off his clothes.

I looked at the six dilapidated ghosts following behind me, crying and hugging blankets to cover my brother.

What am I supposed to do Am I just going to have these six little ghosts running around in here all day and night What if I wake up in the middle of the night and go crazy from being scared

I twisted open the door to the room, and Jiang Qiyun was leaning against the headboard, flipping through our bookshelves.

His eyes were cold and sharp, a hint of a sneer playing at the corner of his lips as he watched me approach him with trembling steps.

What was behind me, he must have seen it, but at this moment his gaze was fixed intently on me, waiting for me to speak first.

What can I say Besides begging him to help me get rid of these vengeful spirits, what else can I do The little demon told me that I personally agreed to the ghost's request, which is a verbal contract. It’s a spiritual pact, and I have to appease them.

But I don't have time to find a specialized sorcerer to exorcise them! I wouldn't want to see these restless spirits again for even a second!

Jiang Qiyun closed his letter, stood up and faced me. My eyes were fixed on the buttons on his chest.

"Jiang… qi yun... can you, help me…" I mustered my courage and pleaded with him. My heart was pounding, and my voice came out as a whisper, barely audible.

Before I left, I still said with a lot of backbone that we were over. But less than a day later, I came crawling back to him for help.

Fortunately, he wasn't unreasonable. He just coldly reminded me, "What did you call me"

"...Jiang Qiyun."

"Call again."

"...River...rising clouds."

"...Call again."

I'm about to bury my head in my chest, I know what he wants to hear, but I really... I'm such a disappointment.

"Husband."

Pathetic, really pathetic.

With just a glance, a soft chuckle, he could turn me into a moth, frantically flapping my wings in the darkness, diving headfirst into the flames that would burn and consume me.

A frigid breath enveloped me, my forehead pressed against his chest. Tears and the moisture of my lips trailed across his cool skin.

He pulled me into a hug and then pushed me towards the bathroom. "You smell terrible, go take a shower, and remember to use lavender."

I nodded, tidying my nightgown as I secretly glanced over at him. He had already raised his hand and was drawing a cold light in the air, charms fluttering onto the ayakashi.

I let out a breath of relief inwardly, rushed into the bathroom to run water, and casually tossed a bag of wormwood leaves in.

Because of the special circumstances in my family, Aiye is almost a must-have item for everyone from childhood to adulthood. Every household's bathroom always has it on hand. If something gets contaminated with negative energy, they use it to disinfect and ward off evil spirits.

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

By the time I was done, dawn was almost here. Although Jiang Qiyun didn't need to sleep, he waited for me all night, which made me feel uneasy. When I lay down, I took the initiative to break the cold silence and snuggled up next to him.

He was still as cold as ever, not liking to explain too much, nor would he deliberately create an atmosphere. As long as you didn't make him angry, he would be quiet and detached; but if you angered him, his wrath was also terrifying.

"That... what's the place called, the Mifenghulin Cemetery" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"Are you interested in the underworld" he asked, his eyes closed.

"...No, I just wanted to find some topic to talk to you about." I was speechless and could only tell the truth.

He opened his eyes, a glimmer of amusement in them: “Weren’t you resentful of me before Not even wanting to speak to me”

I truly resent him, why would he come up with such a scheme These are his children, does he have a heart

But when Bai Wu Chang said that this female ghost should have drifted out from the dense forest's corpses during a spatial tilt, I felt a twinge of fear in my heart—if there were too many such fierce and evil spirits, what kind of place would our living world become

I don't care about other people, but will my brother and father be in danger They are already in this circle and deal with these things every day. Wouldn't the people in this circle be the first to be affected

"Mu Xia Qiao." Jiang Qiyun looked at me seriously, "Even if you resent me, you can only be with me until death. There is no other choice but to accept it."

I don't like the way he speaks, always coldly shattering my fantasies.

I long for his mercy, I yearn for his gentleness and tenderness towards me.

"Bai Wu Chang said, 'In Yin Jing Tian Gong, I couldn't find you. Don't you think you're wasting too much time here'" I mumbled, trying my best to find something to talk about with him.

Jiang Qiyun chuckled softly, raising a hand to cup my chin. "He wants to say I'm lost in beauty Qingrui said something right, a woman with four pillars of pure yin is both beautiful and moving, yet fragile and sensitive... But there's still some obsession deep inside you."

He leaned in close, pressing his lips against mine and whispered, “Not one bit… won’t… listen.”

The sound escaping from their lips and teeth was maddeningly seductive, a sensation so strange it ignited a frenzied desire. Saliva slicked and clung, running down chins that were left uncleaned, desperately trying to capture the other in a consuming embrace.

But I was so tired, exhausted to the point of being unable to function. Between the car ride, the fright, and the obvious pregnancy symptoms, I even felt like I fell asleep biting his lip.

Otherwise, why wake up with a face full of drool

It was noon now, Jiang Qiyun had disappeared. It was his habit to vanish without a trace, and I wasn't bothered by it. Reaching for my phone, I saw that WeChat was almost exploding with messages.

Song Wei made several calls, but I didn't hear a single sound. Seeing her message, I guessed that Jiang Qiyun must have hung up the phone immediately!

"Xia Qiao, you're going to die! Today was Xie Dingding's professional class this morning! You actually skipped class! You even hung up on my phone call. Are you still in bed with your boyfriend!"

Xie Didi said that she will arrange an internship during the winter holiday. You've been targeted by her, remember to come to class next time! Don't blame me for not reminding you!

After reading her message, and then looking at the class WeChat group, I felt a chill down my spine——I was the only one absent from Mr. Xie's deadly class...be poisonous… let’s stay far away.”The night wind blew, scattering much of the intangible mist.The woman, wrapped in black cloth, looked at us in surprise: "You... how did you..."She couldn't see Jian...
