e want to say has become tabooWho set this "taboo" Was it the deities we worship>A biting wind swept through as we entered the late December, and we discussed bringing our father home for a reunion di...The woman had clearly seen the junior mistress several times before. After blurting out her name, she immediately covered her mouth.

But wanting to pretend she didn't see him was too late. She turned around and ran, but Mu Wanchen grabbed her neck with one hand, and she froze in fear.

She was probably stung by a scorpion that appeared suddenly on her hand. She is very clever.

"What's the matter Trying to act like you don't know me" The junior wife frowned. "I'm not interested in your grievances, I just came to find out what happened. As long as you don't interfere with us, we couldn't care less about getting involved."

The woman immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's a coincidence, a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here at the hospital..."

"Cut the crap and get to the point, who got hurt There's a smell of blood in the car," I asked.

She glanced at me, then at the young wife, and finally didn't dare to look directly at Mu Wanchen. She said in a low voice, "We... just had a little incident inside, and we sent the injured person to the hospital for emergency treatment."

"Who got hurt" I pressed, "I didn't get a good look just now, but it looked like two male disciples carried him away..."

She couldn't hide it any longer and hesitated before saying, "It was Zhao Shijie..."

The little wife raised an eyebrow. I felt she was asking out of "courtesy": "How serious is it"

But the other party didn't think so, seeming to feel that Xiao Shiniang was humiliating them. They were angry and their faces flushed red, but they didn't dare to shout loudly. They could only grit their teeth and say in a low voice: "If it's not serious, will you come to the hospital"

Indeed, people in this industry who encounter problems are more likely to seek out doctors like us at our private practice rather than going directly to the hospital.

Because some injuries and illnesses are unexplainable and cannot be cured by hospitals.

Most of these people would choose to solve it themselves or seek treatment from a family physician specializing in traditional Chinese medicine, unless their injury was life-threatening, they would go to the hospital.

For example, such as undergoing surgery, blood transfusion, or organ transplantation...

This is mostly beyond saving.

"What's wrong with Zhao Shijie Did something happen to her" I took over the conversation.

This woman didn't have as much hostility towards me. She frowned and shook her head, saying, "No, it's our dwelling that's had a problem..."

She saw us surrounding her, knowing that she couldn't leave without explaining things clearly. So after hesitating for a moment, she told us the whole story.

These witches are also people who travel the world. Their master used to have a house here, which is now in the countryside on the outskirts of town. Because they need land and are going to demolish half the yard, they came back to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, that old house was haunted.

"What kind of joke is that A place like yours, a coven's hideout, would be haunted" I couldn't help but scoff.

This woman frowned, as if organizing her words.

I took a good look at her, her appearance, figure, and temperament were all completely "unremarkable," the kind of person you forget as soon as you see them.

Such people are easily able to blend in with the general population.

But her heart was much more wicked than an ordinary person's. She wasn't necessarily harming heaven and earth, but she was definitely heartless and bold. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to work in this industry.

"If it were just ordinary ghosts, we wouldn't have gotten involved!" Her voice was laced with annoyance and hatred.

Those in this circle are mostly like rabbits with three burrows. Since transportation wasn't as convenient in the past and they needed to keep a low profile, most had acquaintances, old friends, or their own base of operations in remote locations.

Their master was once a famous witch, and it is likely that he had considerable wealth.

This time, because the old house was included in the demolition scope and ran back, they didn't expect that something was lurking in the house, giving them a surprise.

To say it was a surprise attack, actually only Zhao Jie was caught off guard.

She never expected there to be anything hiding in this long-abandoned house.

“Xi Lingzhou.” Mu Wanchen suddenly spoke.

"Yes!" the woman exclaimed, looking at us excitedly.

"Xi Lingzhou seemed to have recovered some of her sanity, but she was not fully awake. I don't know how to describe her current state—in short, she still remembered the hatred! She wanted to kill Zhao Shijie!"

By this point, the woman's voice was trembling with barely contained excitement.

Xi Lingzhou is now neither human nor ghost. She should still have poison in her body. After escaping control, she went into hiding and took refuge in this abandoned old house.

She was once her master's beloved disciple, so she is more familiar with this place of business.

Whether she was deliberately lying in wait or just happened to meet Zhao Jie and the others returning to handle affairs, anyway, Zhao Jie and the others were in the open while Xi Linzhou was in the shadows.

Zhao Jie didn't expect this at all. There was a deadly enemy lurking by her bed, and just as she was about to rest, she was attacked by Xi Linzhou.

"The bedrooms in this old house of ours are connected by secret passages. She hid in the passageway and suddenly appeared in the room, biting Zhao Jie."

"Bite" the young apprentice wife frowned.

"Well, Sister Zhao had a piece of flesh hanging off her neck, bleeding profusely. It looked like her windpipe was—"

My goodness, what a grudge this must be

Human society has evolved to the point where teeth and aggression, as well as survival instincts, have significantly decreased. Could humans still bite another human to death with their teeth

"She's not human anymore, she wasn't human to begin with. She was always a cruel and vengeful person, even now that her mind is clouded, she still remembers to seek revenge..."

The little wife frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is your house I'll go take a look."

No way... Is the little mistress going to wade into this muddy water

This woman heard the little mistress say this, revealing a hint of joy. She probably also knew the reputation of the Shen family in the circle. With the little mistress, the acting head of the Shen family, speaking up, they might be able to "free" themselves from this predicament.

She hurriedly gave us the address and ran off. Mu Wanchen said to his junior sister, "Why do you bother with so many things Master will scold you again."

“This isn’t me meddling, if Xi Linzhou becomes terrifying and is right here, what do we do if we don’t deal with it Maybe when he hurts someone else, you think it has nothing to do with you. But my brother, my sister-in-law, and the baby who's about to be born are all still here.” The junior wife said worriedly.

"You just stay here and guard this place. We'll go take a look. Xi Lingzhou shouldn't chase us all the way here, right" I advised my little junior wife.

The little wife nodded: "Then you have to be careful, Mu Wanchen shouldn't have any problems..."

This place isn't really that far from where we are, it's a village on the outskirts of town.

There are two main types of villages common in our province. One is more commercialized, with farm stays everywhere; the other is deserted due to planning and relocation.

All the villagers have moved to the nearby resettlement town, leaving only some holdouts.

Here at night, you can hardly see any lights, except for the occasional streetlights on the road.

This kind of place is indeed suitable for people like us to frequent, but it will disappear soon.

"...That's the house, isn't it" Mu Wanchen identified it easily.

>ough generations. It is said that this allows them to be less affected by curses and poisons in special environments. Although it sounds a bit scary, it is actually an amulet in their bloodline.The st...
