hese people, this village is their “hometown.” Hearing that someone stole a Corpse King and betrayed Long Xiaoge, these people were outraged.They stood silently, torches held high, watching as Long Xi...The scene was extremely awkward. The two female students were clearly eager to get acquainted with Jiang Qiyun, but Jiang Qiyun's eyes were distant and his brow furrowed slightly. He remained coldly silent, presumably not expecting such enthusiastic and persistent women.

Song Wei bumped into me and looked up, asking, "Why aren't you leaving What are you looking at"

I'm a little embarrassed, how did Jiang Qiyun suddenly materialize If he wanted to find me, he could just "float" over. Should I go up and help him out now

"Ugh!" Song Wei saw the scene in front of her. She had met Jiang Qiyun once before, and she had even flirted with him, demanding his WeChat. Later, when she found out he was related to me, she became overly cautious and never mentioned him again. "That Shen Qingrui last time was also your rival, right Your boyfriend really attracts a lot of attention! You can't let him run around causing trouble. You need to lock him up tight. No wonder you're always exhausted; you must be working hard to keep him busy shooting his 'ammunition' at you every day, otherwise things could get out of hand!"

"Can you be a little more gentle Miss Song, if you keep talking like that, all brash and aggressive, you're never going to find a boyfriend!" I blushed furiously and looked away from her.

"Hmph, I'm only reminding you because I'm a fair person. If you don't hold onto him tight, don't come crying to me if someone steals him away!"

As she spoke, she shouted righteously, "Xiao Qiao, your boyfriend is here to pick you up!"

With her booming voice, I had no choice but to steel myself and run up to bring Jiang Qiyun away from the two female classmates.

"What's wrong Why did you suddenly appear at school" I whispered.

"Your brother said you'd go straight to the Haiyan Building for a banquet after school, so I came to pick you up. I couldn't just show up suddenly at the banquet hall, could I"

It turns out it was about Boss Zhong's magic formation and that gloomy wooden bone box. He rarely shows interest in mundane matters, but whenever it involves Huangdao Village, he will definitely take a look himself.

"You like this... I really can't trust you to go out alone, do you know how to take the bus or a taxi And people were staring at you... Now girls are all about looks, they'll swarm you!" I muttered a few complaints to him.

He had a cold and distant expression, as if he hadn't heard a word I said. But as he went down the steps, he suddenly grabbed my hand.

It wasn't a grip on the wrist, but slender bones interlacing with mine, fingers naturally entwining.

My face felt a little hot. Song Wei even deliberately fanned the flames: "Those who show off their affection die quickly, believe me or not, I'll kill you both with my flashlight as a lamp You two are affectionate enough at home, do you still need to come out and poison my soul"

Jiang Qiyun completely ignored her. He was uninterested in the birth and death of humans. I felt I should truly "thank" him for his "favor". At least he still seemed to consider me somewhat important.

If it were a normal day, I would definitely take the subway or bus. But remembering Jiang Qiyun's evaluation of buses last time—"filled with smoke and haze"—I decided to call a ride-hailing car.

He kept holding my hand the whole time, not even letting go when we got in the car. The driver even chuckled and said: "Young people these days are so affectionate."

I'm a little embarrassed. What did he eat wrong! If he were floating beside me, invisible to others, that wouldn't be a problem, but how did he suddenly become corporeal

When I got off the carriage, I couldn't help but ask him. He was silent for a moment, then said faintly, "If the dragon on the ring disappears, and I can't temporarily transform into a physical body again, unless... you get pregnant again."

If the dragon disappeared That's a sign that the spiritual fetus has been formed. Disappearance means there's no child, right

I stopped in my tracks. This topic was impossible to avoid between us. Every time it came up, I couldn't help but resent his cruelty and my own powerlessness.

The child in my womb exists for sacrifice. This bloody future always throws a bucket of ice water on me.

“When I saw your brother holding your hand like that, you were so happy… You can tell me anything you want in the future.” His clear voice pounded against my heart.

"What does that mean Is this an appeasement, or compensation for me" I asked with a wry smile.

"Neither, you are my wife, and you can make any request. I will satisfy you to the fullest extent possible."

"Well, what can I do for you" I looked up at him.

"Tell me about it."

Look, they wouldn't agree to my "unreasonable request" at all. They want me to tell them first.

“Bai Wu Chang, you haven't been at the Yin Jing Tian Palace often lately. Could you spend some more time with me I won't run away or do anything rash. I am your offering, and I will obey you in every way. You don't have to watch over me; just go about your business... If you need me to let your children absorb your yin energy at night, you can come then.” I said calmly.

Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned: "What do you mean by that"

"It's nothing, I know about my great-grandparents. My great-grandfather didn't want to die; he was afraid that after death he would forget my great-grandmother... I'm also afraid, Jiang Qiyun. I don't want myself to be unwilling to die. If sooner or later we all need to forget each other, I don't want to remember you so deeply now. That way, the pain of forgetting will be even worse."

This is something I rarely say, and I've been holding it in for a long time. Saying something like this feels strange even to me.

Stockholm Syndrome, you mean like me

When your life, emotions, and desires are controlled by one person, even if he makes you suffer immensely, the moment he shows you a sliver of affection, you'll fall head over heels for him.

Humans, really can be tamed.

"No, I won't forget you. As for you... whether or not you'll forget me depends on you." Jiang Qiyun said faintly.

I didn't quite understand what he meant, but he didn't seem to want to continue the conversation. He took my hand and led me towards Haiyan Tower.

This is a high-end resort, Haiyan Lou is just one of the banquet halls. As soon as Jiang Qiyun stepped into the mountain villa, he frowned and said, "Gathering hundreds of ghosts for wealth... truly insatiable human desires!"

"What"

He frowned displeasure, gripping my hand tightly and quickening his pace: "There's a geomantic formation here. Too greedy, it'll eventually backfire. Let's get out of here after we're done, don't let the energy of this place affect you!"

A hundred ghosts gather wealth What kind of Feng Shui formation is this I've only heard of the Five Ghosts carrying wealth, could there be a hundred ghosts here

As I was pondering, Hou Shaowen's flashy sports car stopped beside me. He smiled and said, "Why walk all the way in There's still a long way to go. Why don't you get in the car"

Jiang Qiyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and I hurriedly shook my head and said, "No, I'm going for a walk with my boyfriend."

Hou Shaowen's face was strange, his gaze fell on Jiang Qiyun, and he asked in disbelief: "You have a boyfriend"methingA soft rustling sound came from within. Old Man Lin let out a cold snort: "Really remarkable, really remarkable…""As expected, treasure is hidden among the people. An unknown Mu family actually...
