ing corpses. You get used to them, so you won’t be afraid.” The old woman coughed lightly and said, “My son came back today, gave me some money, and moved a lot of grain and rice flour. He said he was...I stared blankly at her, unable to recall ever meeting this middle-aged woman.

"Are you Mu Chengtao's daughter" she asked.

As soon as I heard my dad's name, I nodded frantically. "It's me, it's me! My dad..."

"Your dad's at our health center! There are too many injured people here, so we transferred some over to the next street. He asked me to check on him because he's worried that if the news reports it, his children will come looking for him and won't be able to find him."

He's still alive! That old bastard!

I hurriedly asked, “Is my dad alright”

"I'm hurt, but I'm in good spirits. Come on, come on, let me show you around." The middle-aged woman pulled me towards the door.

I followed her to the door and suddenly thought of something, asking, "How did you know I was Mu Xia Qiao"

If this stranger was sent by my father, he shouldn't have seen me before, how could he find me so accurately right away.

"Your dad showed me photos on his phone! He said the prettiest one in the crowd was his daughter, kekeke." The middle-aged woman laughed.

I was anxious and didn't investigate further, so I followed her hurriedly to the next street.

As soon as I reached the street corner, a strange fragrance suddenly enveloped my nose and mouth...

》》》

"Ah... such a tender, beautiful flesh..."

"Hee hee hee, I'm so sorry, Ghost King. I'm a woman, there's nothing I can do to help you, hee hee hee."

Such a beauty, it's really cheap for that Jiang... I only lack one day, only one day! Only one day to possess his father...

"It's not too late yet, Ghost King. Wait until later and use your sorcery to pull that unformed spirit out, then you possess his father—"

"I can't take this anymore... That old fool would rather die than let me stay... First, I'll get her dressed and send her downstairs—"

I closed my eyes, listening to two voices talking beside me. One was a raspy male voice—one I recognized!

It's that blood-red ghostly face!

Another woman, the middle-aged woman who just tricked me out here.

Soon I felt hands messing with me, taking off my shoes.

"Now that you're awake, stop pretending." the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

I slowly opened my eyes, and the person in front of me almost scared me to death!!

There was only one person in front of me! Half her face was that middle-aged woman, the other half of her flesh puffed up, it was that blood-red ghost face!

A wave of nausea hit me, and I gagged twice.

The red wedding suit that was supposed to be locked away by my father, and the red embroidered shoes that my brother refused to take, carried a pungent smell of dust, as she held them in her hands.

The middle-aged woman grinned at me: “You’re so lucky, you have a pure yin constitution and aren’t afraid of evil spirits entering your body. You were born to serve ghosts.”

"You guys... why don't you just find a female ghost" I looked at the bridal outfit. This couldn't be another arranged marriage to the underworld, could it

The middle-aged woman chuckled, “You’re funny! If all you wanted was a taste of excitement with some spirits, there would be plenty lined up to serve the Ghost King. But how could two spirits have children Your kind of fate and physique are a rare treasure, a vessel I haven't seen in years! Of course, the Ghost King deserves to enjoy it! It’s just… that Jiang fellow got there first!”

My head is a complete mess. So, you're saying I'm destined for this from birth

A middle-aged woman reached out to take off my clothes, grabbing the collar of my shirt. She suddenly screamed, and black smoke hissed from her palm.

The blood-red half face immediately roared crazily: "Let go! Let go! She's wearing something!!"

The middle-aged woman's hands were like they had been seared by cannon fire, the flesh and skin charred black to the bone. A bloody, ghastly face contorted on her visage, straining against her features, tearing open half of her mouth to reveal rows of menacing white teeth.

I'm terrified. The ugly ghost husband had said before that the red ghosts wouldn't dare touch this jade seal, it seems to be true.

"Kill her! Kill her! Cut off her hands and feet! If I can't have her, Jiang family can't either—" The blood-red ghost face roared with a hoarse voice.

My hands and feet were bound, and I watched helplessly as the middle-aged woman brought out a kitchen knife —

"Bang!!"

Suddenly, a tremendous commotion erupted outside the earthen hut. Something seemed to have crashed in with a force that shook the entire structure.

"The formation is broken!" the middle-aged woman cried out.

The blood-red ghost face, hearing the formation was broken, immediately struggled frantically, savagely tearing off half of the middle-aged woman's face before transforming into a black shadow that burst through the tiles and fled.

Blood splattered everywhere. I watched as the middle-aged woman in front of me closed her eyes and turned her head. It was too terrifying a sight!

Blood was trickling from her mouth, and she raised a cleaver toward me—

"Bang!!" A massive shockwave burst through the door, sending the middle-aged woman flying. She slammed into the earthen wall, and I heard the sickening crunch of bone breaking.

As the smoke cleared, a black and menacing ghost mask appeared before me.

My face was covered in dust and blood, looking utterly disheveled. When I saw who it was, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Why are you crying! So stupid to run around like this!" he whispered harshly.

My hands were released, and he bent down to pick me up, raising his hand to draw a symbol in the air.

His fingertips were tinged with a white chill. The rune in mid-air floated onto the corpse of the middle-aged woman, sizzling and smoking. Soon, both she and her clothes vanished completely.

"You...why are you here" I whispered.

He sneered, "What do you say"

Could it be… here to save me

The moment the thought crossed my mind, it was immediately doused by his words like a bucket of ice water.

"The seventh day is here, today is the last day. If we miss this moment, all our efforts will be in vain. Why am I still here" He let out a cold snort.

Seven days... I wryly smiled, it turned out, it was time to complete the "task" as scheduled.

He came only to finish his work on time.

Just now, the one who broke through the magic circle was my brother's off-road vehicle. I don't know how he got together with my brother, all I know is that he threw me into the back seat and said to my brother, "I'll use the car for a while."

The entire car was immediately enveloped by a magical barrier. I lay on the backseat, feeling him rip off my dusty clothes and lean down…

I raised my hand to shield my tear-filled eyes, I didn't want to see him.

Whatever, offerings or props are fine.

I hope that after tonight, we can go our separate ways. God has a celestial decree, so when the time comes, will your mother worry about getting old or ugly Will you worry about going to the reincarnation well and having little fairies threaten your posit...
