cross the tribulation."I gritted my teeth and asked, "I want to learn the way, can you teach me""You" he was taken aback, his disdain thinly veiled: "You're not the right stuff, and besides, you've p...I was slightly stunned, savoring the tenderness in his words. My eyes welled up, my mind a little fuzzy. By the time I came to my senses, I had already taken the initiative to throw myself into his arms.

He used to be so cold, his words would leave me feeling utterly disheartened.

Back then, he needed the child to undergo a ritual. At first, he used a demon mask to conceal his pity, always looking coldly at me, but now...

It turns out that it's not just a woman's heart that can be warmed, but a god's heart can melt too

Jiang Qiyun's big hand held my waist, gently pulling away a bit so as not to press on my stomach. He chuckled softly and whispered in my ear, "…Come on, you're being cute, there must be something bothering you."

I took a small step back and said, "Could you please summon the God of Fortune here We'd like to ask him about the situation so we can resolve it as soon as possible."

Jiang Qiyun furrowed his brow and said, "If Mingzhang is still with you, I would teach you all these imperial edicts. Summoning them would be much easier then."

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand, and the leaves outside the car rustled softly. A swirl of dust rose from the ground.

"Go ahead," he said blandly. "They are too deferential to me, and I find it tedious. Just ask what you want."

I carefully stepped out of the car. Some Yin soldiers were crawling outside, and a deity of the land bowed to me.

Well, how should I repay such a favor They're a god after all.

"Hello." I bowed as deeply as I could.

The Earth God said kindly, “Lady Xiao, you don’t need to be so polite. Take care of your health.”

Wow, Land God is so gentle, really a good deity.

"Is Little Madam going to drive" The Land God smiled with an enigmatic look.

Huh Driving

"You can drive with peace of mind, just that the road conditions here are not good. Be careful not to drive into the ditch... The Emperor has ordered that the Yin soldiers clear obstacles where your car passes, so you don't have to worry about bumps and scrapes, but if you drive into the ditch...that'll be a bit of trouble." The Land God smiled kindly.

I...

So that's what Jiang Qiyun meant when he told me "it's okay, take it slow" that day!

That's why I felt several times like I was going to hit the trash cans and lamp posts, but miraculously managed to pass smoothly every time.

My brother definitely noticed! He didn't even praise me when we got off the car, instead he thanked Jiang Qiyun!

I couldn't help but glance back at the rear seat. He really was... no wonder there was a glimmer of amusement in his eyes back then, he was actually laughing at me, wasn't he

"I'm not trying to drive... I just wanted to ask about this daughter of yours. You're on the land, you should know, right" I whispered.

The Land God waved his hand, causing the Yin soldiers to retreat. He slowly said, "The karmic hindrances of mortals are nothing but greed, anger, delusion, and resentment…"

Following Tudigong's simple guidance, we drove to the mine boss's mining site all night.

This is a small village near the county town. The simple village committee was still lit up in the middle of the night, and the guard room was practically deserted, with people inside sleeping soundly through the dark.

My brother picks locks like a pro, I suspect he's been professionally trained.

After all, being the eldest son and grandson, one of his family's legacies is digging graves and tombs. He can open any mechanism lock, so a simple lock is nothing to him.

The room on the first floor of the village committee building with the lights on was the man's residence. My brother lightly knocked on the door, and the sound of a cup falling to the ground came from inside.

A fearful voice whispered, " ... Who!"

My brother croaked, "Service at your door, sir. Want to play If you're not satisfied, no charge... if you are, don't blame me when things get heated~".

There was another clatter of cups and plates falling inside, he must be terrified by my brother.

"Cough, open the door quickly, we're wizards, if you don't open the door we can't save you." My brother recovered his normal voice.

"Who are you" the person inside asked in confusion.

"Yeah, exactly the right person. Don't believe me Take a look at your shadow from the window."

A sliver of the curtain was indeed lifted from the windowpane, and an eye peered out through the gap.

I find this scene more terrifying than ghosts. It reminds me of the zombie village, those pairs of eyes peering at me from the cracks in the earthen huts.

Behind the door stood a haggard young man. He was quite handsome with a youthful face, dressed in a white shirt and casual pants. He looked like a university student serving as a village official.

I stood in the middle of the small house, taking it all in. The surroundings were simple and austere, with a red amulet hanging behind the door.

This young man told us that he came from a big city in another province and was determined to start from the grassroots level. The mine owner's mine was a major revenue source, and as a village official, he had dealings with the mine owner many times. That high school girl got acquainted with him this way.

A teenage girl, only seventeen years old and not yet an adult, didn't want to study. She wanted to get married as soon as possible. When she learned that a young village official was well-off and from a big city, she desperately pursued a relationship with him, trying to force herself on him.

A woman pursuing a man is like weaving a veil between them.

Even though the young man initially had some reservations, they eventually got involved. He advised the high school girl to study hard and get into college, because otherwise, the gap in their family backgrounds was too large and their future would be fraught with difficulties.

But that girl several times deliberately wanted him to ejaculate *inside her, her attitude was very bold. He regretted it every time, but he couldn't resist the temptation.

Later, when she became pregnant, he was angry. His daughter was headstrong and willful, and he also regretted that he had not been firm in his intentions.

"I came here to be a civil servant at the grassroots level. Doing something like this, let alone promotion, I estimate it will be difficult to be transferred from here, my future is ruined." He held his head and was very painful: "She just doesn't want to study, no matter how much persuasion, she won't listen, she can have children after giving birth, she wants to use this to pressure me! Let me ruin my future, force me to get married, and then take her back to my hometown... In this situation, where do I have the face to go back"

After the fight, I said either break up or listen to me and get rid of the child, study hard, and we'll talk about marriage in a few years... She disagreed, and we went cold for a while. When she came looking for me, I didn't want to see her. Later I heard that her parents found out and took her to the hospital, then... the next time I heard from her was that she had hanged herself at home.

The man covered his face, trembling with fear: “She’s too willful… I’ve been dreaming about her for days, so scared that I hung a talisman behind the door to ward off evil spirits. But I keep having dreams of a little boy pulling me, just like what happened just now. A little boy pulled me, making me fall to the ground. When I woke up, I was lying right by the door. It’s terrifying… Are there really ghosts in this world”

"You have a ghost in your heart, so naturally there is one." My brother said with a shrug: "You better send her off while we're here, otherwise she'll find you sooner or later. Tonight we called her soul in time, which prevented that little boy from dragging yours away. Since you know you're afraid, go ahead and kowtow and confess your sins."

The young man hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement. He took off his amulet from behind the door and put it on, then drove a BYD car following us to the mine owner's house.

It was the middle of the night when he stepped into the courtyard. A faint knocking sound, "dong, dong," came from within the vermilion lacquered coffin.

>d you! Eradicate these things at once!"But Bai Wu Chang was always a lazybones. He nonchalantly muttered an incantation, summoning the Netherworld officials, and while floating beside the carriage, he...
