"Such things no longer exist. The techniques of sealing the corpse's acupoints have long since vanished."Modern embalming techniques are far superior to those from centuries ago, and cremation is now...My brother shook his head and told me about how he was caught.

At that time, Old Yi's behavior suddenly became strange. My brother immediately became wary, but he was surrounded by several puppets.

People around thought they were fighting, pushing and shoving. My brother fell and knocked over a stall. That “poker for amusement” set of cards fell into the hood of his down jacket at that moment.

By then, they had been pushed to a more secluded corner. Kurozu suddenly appeared, swallowing them whole, and they fell directly into this place.

A Yue never appeared from start to finish, and my brother didn't see her either. Only this ghost called Thirteen Fragrance was here. Thirteen Fragrance said he wouldn't make things difficult for them, asking them to stay honest and not try to escape, lest they provoke Old King himself to send someone to guard them.

"Thirteen Scents said that there might be a turning point here. We don't know the situation around us, so we don't dare to wander around like headless flies. Xiao Nie and Xiao Xing can remember their own scent trails and won't get lost, so they went out to scout the area." My brother shrugged his shoulders.

I think his movements are a bit stiff, he's always moving his shoulders. Could he be injured

"Brother, what's wrong Did you get hurt"

"No, it's just that when I fell, I hit my head a bit, maybe it's bruising." He shifted uncomfortably.

Lin Yanqin puffed out her cheeks and gently rubbed her brother's shoulders, muttering softly, "Yunfan, you're just showing off..."

Looking at her distressed face, it must be my brother protecting her, resulting in him taking the fall and landing on his shoulder. With such gentle movements, I can't fathom how my brother managed to raise a pampered princess like this into such a considerate and caring person.

"Xiao Qiao, can we leave now I'm worried about Yunfan's shoulder. I think we should take him to the doctor..." Lin Yanqin whispered to me.

I shook my head. Going out The situation outside was even more complex, intertwined with the bustling street and yet contained within the Tai Chi diagram. Going out would also put me in danger.

Of course, drinking tea in one's own courtyard is far better than waiting in this space surrounded by ghostly energy.

What I just said to Jiang Qiyun about them staying here was just hot air, and Jiang Qiyun didn't take it seriously.

"Let's go talk somewhere else... Where are Xiaonie and Xiaoxing I looked around at the darkness.

Originally, I thought this was a cell, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a passage. The darkness stretched endlessly.

"What if the little ones get lost" I asked worriedly.

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly and shook his head: "Two animals, and you're so worried"

He seemed a bit unhappy, as if Xiaonie and Xingxing were holding him back, and he even looked down on my kind nature.

But once you step into a house, you become family, and Xiao Nie and Xiao Xing are very good to me, especially Xiao Nie. He has helped me many times.

I pleaded with him, he shook his head and didn't continue. This unspoken "indulgence" made me feel guilty.

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and pinched a seal. Several points of light flew out from between his fingers. He waved his sleeve, scattering the light. These tiny points of light began to split apart.

Split.

One begets two, two begets four... soon, it transformed into countless tiny specks of light the size of rice grains.

These minute lights crawled at his feet, radiating outward from him like a compass based on the Bagua. In an instant, they spread in all eight directions.

A massive web of faint light emerged from the darkness, and he stood majestically in its center.

We stand as if in a vast starry sea. Though the environment here is harsh, we can't help but marvel at its awe-inspiring beauty.

My brother chuckled and said, "Little Qiao, you have to keep a close eye on your brother-in-law. Look at how he flirts even when just pointing the way. Who knows how many young girls secretly adore him You need to watch him closely, or he'll be surrounded by admirers. Just look at how Thirteen Fragrance's eyes are practically sparkling with hearts!"

I followed his gaze and sure enough, Shixiang was staring at Jiang Qiyun's back with wide eyes and a look of utter admiration.

Jiang Qiyun was so overwhelmed that he didn't even bother to move. When Shi Sanxiang heard her brother teasing her, she immediately retorted: "I-I-I'm just admiring him! I haven't been disrespectful to the Emperor and the Empress!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, a gust of demonic wind swept in, and a handsome young man in ancient-style robes flew over following the starlit path on the ground.

A pretty boy

Thirteen Fragrance was taken aback. Out of a sense of duty, she immediately drew her token and asked, "What kind of lost soul are you! How did you fly in!"

The handsome young man shrank back, running towards me in fear.

Huh Running towards me

I was about to hide when this beautiful young man suddenly crouched down and grabbed my calf!

My goodness, who are you!

Jiang Qiyun calmly glanced at me—how terrifying. When I helped Song Wei look for a house before, the homeowner pulled me and I fell, getting my head split open. Jiang Qiyun is so stingy! How can he be so calm now

A handsome young man looked up at me and said, “My Lady, I’m so hungry…”

My brother immediately shouted, "You damn fool! After eating eight fried bananas, you're still not full Are you a bottomless pit!"

Uh Fried bananas

A handsome young man in ancient style with fried bananas

My brain kind of short-circuited for a moment, then I heard Lin Yanqin comforting me: "Don't worry, I'll go out and find you some food."

Then it hit me! This handsome young man was Xiao Xing! This guy, wasn't he only ever able to transform into a beautiful woman When did he learn to become a handsome young man!

A gust of wind howled, and Xiaonie transformed back into her divine form, rushing back with a swiftness that outpaced Xiaoxing. Her level was considerably higher than his, and she arrogantly flicked her ears, saying, “Hmph, as soon as I saw this light, I knew it was the arrival of His Majesty the Emperor.”

"Cut the chatter, move when you're all here," Jiang Qiyun said with a slight frown.

We immediately prepared to retreat to the gate where those two puppets were located. Thirteen Fragrance saw that we were leaving and immediately helped open the gate. As soon as he touched the heavy iron gate, he let out a shocked cry like an electric shock, and a bloody barrier opened on the gate!

A strange and rough face appeared beyond the iron gate's bars.

"Old Demon Head, or Old King as he was known, wore a ferocious and deranged expression. He cackled maniacally, "Little Empress... you see, I haven't tortured your family. Kekeke... It's good that you all die together... This is my mercy, don't thank me."

Jiang Qiyun let out a cold snort, his long sword materialized from thin air, and with a single strike, he aimed it at the iron door!

The red barrier and the heavy iron gate were split open by his sword qi! Old Wangye was startled and pulled a servant beside him to use as a shield!

The follower was caught in the sword energy and vanished in an instant, turning into blue smoke. The force of the sword energy even sent Old Wang back several steps!

Old Wang's face was extremely ugly.

"Old Wangye, accustomed to ruling alone, you've forgotten how much you weigh" Jiang Qiyun said coldly.

"What are you, to dare speak such words of compassion to me"

>ong separation of the couple allowed some inappropriate desires to take root."Mu Xia Qiao." Jiang Qyun suddenly called my name.He only calls me "Xiao Qiao" softly and tenderly when he's feeling very s...
