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..."What are you doing!" I waved my hand and punched him in the face.

He was also taken aback, hurriedly releasing his hand and saying, "Sorry, sorry, I'm not—"

"It's not you, ghost!" I kicked him right in the leg.

The sharp heel stabbed him, causing a cry to escape his lips. However, he ignored the pain in his foot and rushed towards me—

Indecent

At that moment, these two words flashed through my mind.

The manager pinned me to the ground, covering my mouth with his hand and whispering, "We can't talk here... Ghosts—"

As soon as he finished speaking, I got a jolt.

We were both sprawled out in front of the women's restroom door...

The temperature around me suddenly plummeted. The manager, terrified, trembled like a sieve and desperately retreated backward. However, an invisible wall separated us here; we couldn't take a step back, stranded under the light that shone just out of reach.

I heard Song Wei's scream. Ignoring my fear, I rushed in immediately!

"Song Wei! Where are you!" I pushed open one room after another.

Nobody!

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao save me! I...I'm in the last room!"

Last one

I immediately rushed over.

At that moment, I didn't even think about whether it might be a demon's trap.

I burst into the last one. When I opened the door, something gray and wrinkled was squatting on the toilet seat.

A little baby....

"Come play with me..." the little baby suddenly said.

I was freaking out, the baby suddenly shot toward me like a projectile. Just as I screamed and dodged, a red aura blocked the baby.

A little baby is like a ball hitting tempered glass, *bam*, it bounces off and then crashes to the ground.

My goodness... it's a child! Not a ball! I instinctively reached out to help, my hand already halfway there, before I realized it was a monster!

"Humph...big liar, not even play with me..." The little kid twisted his head and glared at me angrily.

"Where's my friend!" I mustered the courage to ask—actually, it was because the ring had just flashed red, protecting me, which gave me some confidence.

Isn't that spooky I've seen worse!

The little baby cackled, a chilling sound that split its black mouth open: “I ate you!! I ate you, and now you can see her— ”

It suddenly pounced again, and I screamed and ran away. That was pure instinct!

But those damn high heels! I can't get used to them!

With a crack, I twisted my ankle and landed hard on the icy tiles.

However, the little baby did not rush over.

I turned around and saw a figure standing behind me.

Dressed in a black Chinese style outfit, with hair flowing down her back.

I heard a clear male voice say, "Come, I'll play with you."

That baby crawled backward in fear, shaking its head as it went, "No, no... I don't want to play with you, don't erase me, I haven't hurt anyone..."

"Then you go by yourself. You're lucky, you caught me just as I was thinking of opening a noodle shop." The man laughed, pointing at the ground with his hand. A copper door over a meter high sprang up from the earth!

The door is carved with demon figures, shackles, and evil spirits.

The baby reluctantly shrank back, and the man's voice suddenly turned cold: "Aren't you leaving!"

That little thing jumped in fright, like a skinned gray rat charging into the door.

It's gone.

Both the door and the baby had vanished.

The icy atmosphere around me vanished instantly, and I heard weeping in my ears.

"Song Wei, Song Wei! Come out quickly, it's all right!" I sat on the cold ground, my eyes fixed on that man's tall back, calling Song Wei's name.

The door to the inner room creaked open a few times, and Song Wei replied in tears, "Xiao Qiao, the lock is broken, I...I was so scared...sniffle..."

"Don't worry, I'll call someone. " I said, looking at the mall manager who was stunned.

He was truly terrified, frozen in place, staring at this direction.

I took off one shoe and threw it at him. He suddenly snapped out of his daze, incredulously asking, "You guys... you took that..."

"Go get someone to open the door! The lock is broken!" I shouted at him.

He clearly knew this place was haunted, and seeing that little thing disappear right before his eyes, he scrambled out as fast as he could.

I can't stand up.

My ankle swelled up immediately, so I just sat on the ground hugging my knees and burying my head like an ostrich.

I can't hear this man's familiar voice.

I cannot see the familiar hands of this man.

I can't feel this man's familiar cold breath either.

He crouched in front of me, helping me take off the other high heel.

"Mu Xiao Qiao," his frigid voice resonated softly in my ear.

I bit my lip and looked up.

There are no demon masks.

I know he has a smooth and full forehead, with a delicate dimple at his hairline.

But I didn't know his eyes held a glimmer of dark gold in their depths.

I didn't know he had a high nose bridge and lips with graceful contours.

I don't know if he's even more terrifying without the mask.

His powerful finger hooked onto the strap of my high heel, dangling it in front of me.

His voice was dangerous, each word drawn out as he said, "...Don't let me see you wearing those heels again."

High heels

I was taken aback. Shouldn't he be concerned about my swollen ankle right now

"If I hurt the child in your belly, I'll make your whole family beg for death!" His eyes glared coldly at my stomach.

Suddenly, it dawned on me. He was afraid of hurting the "things" he left behind.

I sneered, "Very well, as you wish... Your Majesty."

His eyes darkened, and his attitude towards me was very displeased.

Let them be dissatisfied, I'm just a tool now. There's no way he can kill me

Before that, he had gone to so much trouble, facing my stiff and unamused body. It must have been hard for him.

The previous manager rushed in carrying a toolbox. The guy was a stand-up sort and hadn't run off. He shouted, "Make way, you two, I'm going to pick the lock."

Two of you

Two people!

I glanced at the man beside me, his expression cold and indifferent, without any fluctuation.

As soon as the door opened, Song Wei ran out crying, "I almost got scared to death in the restroom! There were phantom sounds, the lock was broken, and the power went out! You guys gave me such a fright!"

As soon as she came out, she started berating the manager. Then she ran up to me, "Waaaah, Xiao Qiao I'm so scared! —Oh my god, which agency is this model from He's so handsome!! Handsome guy, can I have your WeChat"

Her tears were still on her face, fear replaced by infatuation.

》》》

The river rises and clouds gather.

I remember him saying this name.

However, I, trembling with fear and respect, knelt before his seal.

The Northern Dipper Emperor, a revered deity in Daoism, is the ruler of the underworld.

To him, I'm just a tool.

It is his proof of traversing between realms, unfettered by any constraints, and also a tool for nurturing nascent souls.

Song Wei laughed heartily: "Xiao Qiao, when did you have such a handsome man! Oh my goodness, don't be shy! Don't think that burying your face in his back will fool me, I know you're blushing!"

He didn't say a word. After Song Wei left, he led me to a secluded corner and drew a talisman in the air. A white light engulfed us instantly...d and induce hallucinations.”"Why would Master Sister do this to my sister...and where did these scales even come from The Misty River Sect, right Did Ms. Xue do this" I frowned and said."Perhaps it's...
