mple and rustic atmosphere. Young women can be seen washing clothes by the water, elders tending to chickens and ducks, while others fish nearby. It's a harmonious scene, far from the gloomy and frigh...Judge Cui, is one of the most famous ghosts and gods in the underworld. There are also many places in the human world that worship him. Although he is not the main deity, he still has believers.

Especially in ancient times, for thousands of years in the hearts of the common people, he was the one who held the Book of Life and Death and the pen to draw souls. With a few strokes, he could investigate the good and evil of people.

Although we have met a few times, he hardly ever initiated conversation with me.

“My Lady… you may think of yourself as just an ordinary person, but ever since the Heavenly Emperor made his acquaintance with you, you are no longer one.” Cui Jian said in a veiled manner: "Although the demons entering the world is part of Heaven's cycle of birth and destruction, you should still be careful, after all, opportunities are rare..."

"So, how should I be careful They could open up space rifts..." I said, a little worried.

Even if I lock myself in a room, I can't grow eyes on the back of my head. How can I be careful

I watched with heavy heart as Jiang Qiyun disappeared from sight. The news reported a large number of deaths due to the epidemic, and many others were on the brink of death.

One of the duties of the underworld is to reward good and punish evil. These people hanging by a thread, whether they stay or leave, there will be a subtle influence in the unseen world.

Why are those who have experienced life and death often open-minded and respectful Because they feel the preciousness of life and the awe-inspiring nature of yin and yang.

"Mama, aren't you sleeping with us" Yugu asked me with a pout.

Cold sweat! How could I possibly sleep with you all, you're all living in the flower hall now, aren't you

Ji Dou and Luohu Xingjun helped us watch the children. The three children all lived in Huating, I went back to my own room alone.

Another gust of cold wind blew past, and I couldn't help but get up to check the doors and windows. I turned on my phone and sat on the bed, my back pressed tightly against the headboard.

News on my phone was shocking, and I also got a message from Yinluo.

She followed her father and elder brother to support the frontline medical team. Her family patriarch, was a well-known doctor in public, occasionally going to clinics as an expert consultant.

Yin Luo sent me photos of herself in protective gear and told me lots of gossip.

Those messages were all heartbreaking. Hospitals were overflowing, and some people had nowhere to turn for help. They died before they could receive aid from the government.

Whew...

A cold wind swept through the courtyard again, making the copper bells ring.

I didn't dare to sleep. I gently pushed open the window and took a look at the courtyard outside.

The trees swayed gently, and snowflakes fell softly.

The cold night remained crisp.

Woooooo—!!!

My phone suddenly vibrated, and I almost dropped it to the ground in fright.

I saw it was my brother's phone, so I quickly answered it.

Zzzzz----

A strong electric current could be heard from the phone, it was very earsplitting!

"Hey hey! Brother!" I shouted.

"Little Qiao——zizi—go… zizi… come……… "

My heart was racing, what's wrong with my brother

Is the signal at home this bad

"Brother! Brother! I can't hear you! Where are you!" I shouted anxiously.

"Zzz..." The phone only responded with the sound of electricity.

I anxiously grabbed my phone, pulled open the door and was about to go to the study to use the landline.

As soon as I opened the door, I was stunned by the sight of the courtyard in front of me.

What's going on Could it be my brother's signal is bad, or is it my end that's having issues!

I immediately drew my bow, with my fourth finger extended and the rest slightly curved, fingertips pointing upwards. I silently chanted the incantation in my heart, borrowing the Qi of Yue Jun.

With the other hand, he took out a talisman of destruction and slapped it against the two pillars at the entrance.

"Broken!" I whispered.

The scene in the courtyard became instantly clear and real. I was indeed confined within a simple barrier just now.

Who set up this barrier

I'm wondering, out of the blue, a crack appears before my eyes —

"Ah——!" I cried out in surprise, a hand reaching out from inside!

That was a pair of hands covered in scars, with fingertips like claws! It suddenly lunged towards my face!

Ding dong —

The copper bell in the corner rang again!

Those hands, seeing me dodge, suddenly stretched out, as if wanting to rip open the crack even wider!

This painting, it looks like a zombie about to burst out of its coffin!

A pair of scarlet eyes glared at me from within the black fissure, sneering: "Mu Xiaoqiao..."

In shock, I had already grabbed the wishful charm from my small purse. Jiang Qiyun was not there, and I didn't dare to leave my bed!

But my brother doesn't know what's going on, I can't waste time!

"Help!" I cried out, "Please help!" They lived in the flower hall of the previous courtyard; they should be able to hear me!

Ding dong...

A sudden, piercing female voice cut through the air, “Quiet!”

I was taken aback, who

The fissure before me had grown to a size that an adult could easily pass through. I held up my Ruyi staff, ready to defend myself, but a gust of cold wind swept over me, blinding me with snowflakes in an instant.

A white-clad fairy, sword in hand, stood before me.

Who is this... I'm a little lost for words.

Before, I felt a chilly fragrance in the courtyard. Could it be that this fairy is setting up a barrier

The person in the crevice wasn't afraid at all. They jumped out of the gap and sneered, "Is this where Shan Tao fell I heard that everyone in the Upper Realm protects this estate... How come Is Mu Xiaoqiao so full of herself"

I... I'm caught in the middle of a dispute, okay!

"Who are you! An underling of the Southern Heaven Demon Emperor!" I asked angrily.

Where have I offended you At most, I saved Chongmo, but isn't Chongmo a demon god from the Demon Realm How would I know about your grievances

"Presumptuous!" The man suddenly lunged with his sword!

Ding! Sparks flew, and the white-clad fairy blocked the sword strike! But with just that one blow, her sword shattered!

"Hmph hmph... Hahahaha... As expected, the magical restraints are much weaker here in Mu Xia Qiao's place! You truly are a good thing, no wonder the Demon Lord had to bind himself to you with a blood pact!" He grinned maniacally.

If he wasn't so manic, perhaps he would still be a handsome and elegant man. But when he smiled like that, the sinister aura emanating from him sent chills down my spine.

He is a demon cultivator, perhaps of the same status as Shan Tao, a subordinate of the Southern Heaven Demon Emperor!

"So it's just a defeated subordinate, the Southern City Lord's ramblings~ I was wondering who was so eager. The subordinates of the Southern Heaven Demon Emperor are indeed straightforward hotheads." Ji Du's voice echoed from above.

He carried a sword, standing on the wall opposite, his face full of excitement.

"Hmph... here they come again, the ostracized... lowlies from the upper realms..." He sneered with a cruel grin.

Their eyes met, revealing each other's weaknesses, and the air crackled with tension.

I didn't dare to move. The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed like whoever made a move first would have sword energy aimed at their neck.

"Damn girl!" Ji Du suddenly shouted.

The white-clad fairy before me softly uttered an "um."

He glanced at me and turned his head slightly.

Let's go.

I immediately understood his meaning.

Immediately, I turned and ran towards the corridor without looking back! A domineering aura swept past me as I fled.

That fairy named Nü-Jī promptly formed a barrier, encasing the entire courtyard behind me!

Because of the displacement in the barrier space, this sword energy struck the pillar beside me, splitting it in half!

I ran towards the flower hall while frantically dialing my brother's phone number.

Brother... please, don't do anything rash...r's Hall, I changed my clothes and hurried over. It seems like even a moment's delay is a crime." He gave a self-deprecating smile."I didn't urge you, you even discarded your phone. When did I ever ur...
