Who knows if she'll grab us if we get close One grip from her and she could tear me to shreds! I can't do it, I can't do it! Besides, the Nine Apertures Jade isn't just on the head! There are two more...The space inside the car was cramped, and his tall frame wouldn't allow him to move.

My apathetic reaction quickly lost his interest.

However, he didn't hesitate to do what needed to be done. After finishing, he wrapped me in the blanket from his car and broke the barrier.

My brother jumped into the car and yelled, "My sister just got kidnapped and was terrified! Can't you be a little more understanding! Are you even human!"

Well, of course he wasn't human.

No, how can my brother see him!

I looked at my brother in confusion. He turned his head from the driver's seat to glare at the ugly creature next to me, clearly seeing it.

"My nascent spirit has coalesced, and the chimera dragon is taking shape. I can materialize my Dharma body in the mortal realm." He explained calmly.

I silently turned my head. I didn't care what he did.

“Wearing that mask like a ghost, are you bull or horse face! Take it off! I won't let you bully my sister for free!” My brother said angrily.

"You're brave, talking to me like that." he said coldly to my brother.

"Heh, I'm not afraid of heaven or earth. At worst, I die! What's there to be scared of!"

He let out a light chuckle, as if mocking my brother for being an ordinary man who dared to overstep his bounds.

I heard the sound of his clothing rustling as he lifted his hand, he seemed to have actually removed the mask.

The car was eerily silent. My brother's voice stammered, "That... Xiao Qiao... you... don't you want to see He... he..."

I buried my head in my knees, a cold body beneath the blanket.

My tears are also flowing silently.

“I don’t want to see what he looks like, it has nothing to do with me.” I spoke with a heavy nasal voice, burying myself in the darkness like an ostrich.

"Hmph... If you don't want to look, then don't." His clear voice carried a hint of icy anger.

He seemed about to disappear, and my brother urged, “Wait, wait! What about Dad Didn't you say you knew where Dad was!”

"Renhe Hospital!" he said coldly, disappearing into the car.

Renhe Hospital is a top-tier private hospital. My brother and I can't figure out how Dad ended up here. Could that ugly monster have cast a spell

The question is, can casting even afford a VIP room!

My father is lying in the hospital bed. The doctor said a lot of things, but I didn't hear any of it. Our world and the doctor's world are different.

Once the doctor left, my brother gave me four words: "Find Grandpa."

He went out to make a phone call to his family back home, while I stayed by my father's bedside.

In one day, my grandfather came.

It only takes four or five hours to get from his hometown here. The grandfather walked with a cane. The cane was ordinary in appearance, with some natural curves and patterns, but it was said to be made of purple rosewood, which is invaluable.

The patriarch is the mainstay of the family, and when he goes out, naturally many people accompany him. My grandfather, second grandfather, uncle, cousin... seven or eight people came.

As soon as he stepped into the VIP room, he told his cousin to shut the door.

As soon as the door closed, the old man dropped his cane and knelt before me.

I jumped in fright and blurted out, "Grandfather, what are you doing!"

He shook his head and pushed my hand away as he said, "Girl, stand properly!"

His voice was grave, and I stammered, looking at my brother. He looked just as dumbfounded as I felt.

“With utmost respect and humility, I bow deeply. Our family expresses our deepest gratitude for the Emperor's protection…” Grandfather bowed to me.

The whole family was shocked. The old man, at his age, actually knelt down! Everyone rushed to help him up.

A cousin-in-law standing at the back whispered, “Is Grandpa really senile…”

"I've already knelt down, why are you two still standing"

At this command, even those who were unwilling, everyone in the family knelt down. My brother stood beside me and touched his nose, awkwardly asking, "Should I kneel too..."

"Mu Yunfan!" The grandfather roared his name, scaring my brother into quickly kneeling down.

I'm so embarrassed, I'm the youngest here, but I'm the only one standing.

"Grandfather... he, that person, no, that ghost isn't here." I whispered.

The granddad still had his family bow three times before letting me up.

"Whether he is here or not doesn't matter, his token remains, and we mortals should bow in reverence..." Grandfather pointed at my chest.

I wore his jade seal close to my body.

The Northern Emperor.

Lord of the Underworld.

In the family, Grandfather was the pivotal figure. After observing my father's condition, he told my grandfather, "Chengtao has been invaded by Yin Qi, reaching his marrow. His past karmic debts will eventually have to be repaid by himself…"

My grandfather respectfully stood with his hands clasped and nodded, saying, "Yes."

"The hospital... you can stay there for now. Family members can take turns looking after you, and we'll figure out the expenses—"

Before Grandpa could finish speaking, I saw that Second Grandpa's face had darkened.

My grandfather, astute as he was, quickly chimed in: "Dad, I can cover the expenses myself. There's no need to trouble the other siblings. Chengtao is my son after all."

The grandpa nodded and said, "Tell me if you need more."

After giving his orders, the grandfather's gaze fell upon me, and he smiled faintly: "Girl, your complexion isn't well. You should... take care of yourself."

I caught his meaning, reflexively reaching for my stomach.

There seemed to be a fire burning there, faintly.

Seven days have passed, and now my "mission" is basically to be a breeding machine.

I just hope this nightmare will end soon.

When Grandpa and the others left, my grandpa stayed behind and said to me, "Little Qiao, don't worry, your dad will be fine. We'll go find something to save him. Here's a card with one million dollars. Take it. The password is your dad's birthday. If that's not enough, I'll send more."

"What illness would cost a million dollars Is my dad going to die" I looked at Grandpa, why could he be so calm

“My grandfather shook his head and said, “Back then, he did some forbidden things to let your mother live a few more years. The karmic retribution will eventually come… If you want him to get better soon, why not study hard and earn some money To be honest, if we wanted to buy materials from someone else to exorcise the evil spirits, it would probably cost over ten million.”

Grandpa smiled and patted both my head and my brother's head, then left.

We exchanged a glance, and suddenly a sense of desolation washed over us — in such a family, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and poverty are bestowed by heaven. No one would shed tears for life or death.

Before we could wallow in our disappointment, a flurry of footsteps suddenly echoed down the corridor. This was the VIP area; why would there be so many people running in the hallway

My brother curiously opened the door.

An old man in a hospital gown was dancing wildly and running around, with a team of black-suited bodyguards by his side, and several nurses following behind.

What's going on An old person escaping from the hospital

Just finished running, and came right back. Repeating this back and forth in the hallway.

My brother, arms crossed, grumbled: "These rich people are crazy, aren't they Working out by running through hospital corridors That old man is obviously possessed."

A haughty man's voice rang out: "What demon possession are you talking about— "iaoqiao... you're already very skilled, but there will always be people in this world who are more skilled than you..."He gritted his teeth and said, "Originally, you were useful to me. You weren't af...
