ed."It was just a small favor, I wouldn't have bothered if it weren't for my brother wanting it. So I went and dealt with it, then brought the thing back!" I quickly defended myself, explaining to him..."They all scorned me there, what's the point They wouldn't let me heal them anyway." I said with a sneer.

Mu Wanchen shook his head. "If I were you, I wouldn't dare to entrust my life and death to a stranger... The magical techniques of the Mi Jiang River region have been sealed for many years, cutting off contact with the outside world, and people's hearts have also become closed... It has only been in recent years that they have begun to interact with the outside world."

"There are too many problems, they have accumulated and become overwhelming. It's difficult to sum them up in a few words."

His voice was deep and mellow, with a calm and composed tone.

"I've never been this close to another man." I was so tired my eyelids felt heavy.

The heat on my body was making me irritable, and I didn't want to keep bickering with him any longer.

He hummed softly, no doubt understanding the content of what the obstetrician, with her booming voice like a loudspeaker, was saying.

But I don't want to be the Witch Queen for no reason, I don't like it.

"Hmm."

"But Liang Xiaog is pretty good."

"Humph…" he chuckled lightly.

"I don't want to leave home... I will help you raise the female gu, but please don't keep being so mysterious and scary towards me. It's suffocating!"

"Okay."

Ugh... I said so much, and he just answered me word for word.

What about the matter of the mark... Mu Wanchen said he asked a woman from my family, and she told him who Yin Luo was.

My woman at home, she's just the senior sisters, right

Tomorrow, tomorrow I must ask for clarification.

I fell asleep sitting on him, and when I woke up, I was lying in bed with the blanket, sleeping soundly.

Anyway, during summer vacation, there's nothing to do every day.

When did Mu Wanchen disappear I sat up and saw the bracelet back on my wrist.

I hurriedly picked it up and examined it carefully, oh dear… I had actually chipped off a dent the size of a grain of rice.

It is said that these precious jewels, if there is a slight flaw, the value will plummet. I just smashed it, and I smashed tens of thousands

Mu Wanchen didn't get angry with me, and I actually felt a little guilty.

Thinking about interrogating my senior sisters today, to see who of them had met Mu Wanchen this big oaf a few years ago, I quickly washed up and ran downstairs.

My sister was crouching in the gazebo looking after the kitten. I shouted a reminder to wear gloves and not let it scratch her, then dashed forward quickly.

Women are more flexible and have a natural advantage in business, especially in the service industry. That's why all six of my sisters work at a traditional herbal medicine restaurant and an herbal medicine shop.

I dashed out of the mansion gate. Ninth Senior Brother was diligently scrubbing every hitching post. Seeing me, he immediately shouted, "Where are you going! Senior Brother doesn't allow you to go out alone!"

"I'm going to find Senior Sister up ahead!" I replied, running out of my front door.

Outside the gate is a tree-lined road for vehicles. It's still early, and some people are walking here for morning exercise.

I hadn't taken a few steps when a voice, ancient and weathered, came from behind me.

"Hey there, where are you going..."

When I turned back, an elderly woman with silvery hair and a slightly stooped back was walking her dog.

Old Madam Zhong, a fortune-teller who lives near my home, is quite famous. However, our family are Daoist physicians and we don't really believe in what fortune-tellers do. We have our own methods for treating patients suffering from paranormal disturbances, evil possession, or lost souls.

So, we part ways on ideological grounds. However, as neighbors, we can still coexist peacefully and amicably.

But she's getting up there in years, she always mixes me up with my sister.

"Yue'er, it's so early, you're going out already…" She smiled, her face creased with wrinkles.

"Grandma Zhong, it's me, Yin Luo."

She also wasn't feeling well, she let out an "Ah" and nodded, "You're going to greet Luo'er Has Luo'er gone out"

This...

Okay, too lazy to explain.

I nodded and said loudly, “Yes, yes! I’m leaving now—”

"Wait, wait..." A glimmer of shrewdness flashed in her clouded eyes, and the hand, withered like a chicken's claw, suddenly gripped my wrist with surprising force.

I was startled, but she's an elderly woman. I didn't dare push her hard, what if she fell

"Girl... there's something behind you... something following you..."

Her face also looked terrifying. The old woman spoke in a cryptic and rambling manner. I struggled to pull my hand away while saying, “Yes, yes, there’s a vengeful spirit following me.”

“No… not simple… This spirit’s power is extraordinary. Be careful.”

"Not ordinary... Mu Wanchen said that the female ghost was a witch in her lifetime, and she's probably still formidable even in death."

I hesitated for a moment before asking, "That's terrible... Do you know how to handle it"

Grandma Zhong smiled, revealing a missing tooth: "I've dealt with these things my whole life..."

"Huh Is this a marketing ploy I quickly shook my head and said, "I don't have that much money."

"Goodness me! I've given you free medicine at your house several times already! We've been neighbors for over ten years, would I ask you for money!" Grandma Zhong said angrily.

What is this old woman trying to do

She suddenly gave a spooky smile: "If you're scared, come to my house. I'll help you take a look... It's best to come at night, when the yin energy is heaviest, that's when the female ghost will appear... Remember, don't tell Luo about this."

What You can't tell me!

When did this old woman get so close to my sister

This sparked my curiosity.

I gave a few polite words and nodded, saying: “Okay, I’ll come to find you this evening around 7 or 8 o'clock. It's too late after that, my senior brother won't let me go out.”

The old woman smiled and nodded, muttering words the listener couldn't quite make out. Then she walked away.

These old hags are so peculiar... I remember Granny Zhong moved in near my house when I was a child. She's been our neighbor for over ten years, and she has no children, husband, or anyone else around her.

Do people who understand celestial secrets and dabble in yin and yang always suffer from five deficiencies and three lacks

My father diligently practiced good deeds and even lived apart from my mother for about ten years. I don't know if they ever divorced.

With a head full of questions, I walked into my family's herb shop.

Six senior sisters were there sorting herbs. As soon as I entered the room, I heard voices coming from behind the screen.

"This time, Little Apprentice came back and actually stayed at home without running around. You think she got a taste of the outside world's difficulties and learned her lesson" Six Senior Sister's voice.

"Maybe, when Big Brother got angry, I thought she'd at least be put in confinement for coming back. Who knew it was all talk and no action... If we were to lose contact like this, Big Brother wouldn't care about us for days." Fifth Senior Sister muttered under her breath.

"Can we compare Junior Sister is like the jewel in Master's palm, but Senior Brother is exaggerating a bit. That day I secretly heard him shout at Yue Shimei... Psst..."

What Are you saying my brother is courting my sister Is it going to rain red with the heavens above in turmoil

That day, Yue Shimei was also anxious to go out and find someone, and she was yelled at by the senior brother until she cried.

"Hey, you said about the eldest brother and her..."

I was eavesdropping on some gossip when someone suddenly whacked my shoulder, scaring the daylights out of me. ---trokes in my hand.Do not disobey.Is she reminding meThe witch might not have done anything to us, but judging by her aura and bearing, just a flip of her palm could turn us—at least me—into ashes.The...
