utation, Si Tu Lin wouldn't dare to show himself and do these things. Yet, he secretly orchestrated so many poison attacks."Alright, alright, let's exorcise the study... five million, eh... la la la~,..."My dad Do you think he has time to come home And besides, he has other women. My mom is just a casualty of his work." Shao Yihang said it casually, as if it were nothing new.

"Isn't your father a high-ranking official How dare you act this way"

He let out a sneer, shook his head, and remained silent.

I don't intend to ask further questions. Politics are not something I, a small fry, can understand.

So he lowered his head and carefully observed his mother's changes. Indeed, she looked much younger, and someone who used to be very low-key was now very sociable.

“I know my mother has been in touch with Qi Ke Xin, and even took her to a concert.” Shao Yi Hang frowned. “Qi Ke Xin spends all day chasing after Lin Yan Huan, everyone in our circle knows that, that girl is really annoying.”

"You... all know each other" I asked cautiously.

"How could you not know each other Even if you weren't familiar, you've at least seen each other before. We all grew up in the same courtyard, so we've all heard of each other."

"Do you know Lin Yanqin" I tentatively asked.

"Lin Yanqin" Shao Yihang smiled. "She's a well-known figure among the Red Descendants. How could I not know her However, we aren't very close. She studied abroad and we've only met a few times as children... She's the eldest daughter of the Lin family, and countless people aspire to be her husband and ride the coattails of the Lin family."

Oh... So my brother is so hateful!

The Ghost Princess was using dark magic to refine human oil, probably with some strange things to ensnare those middle-aged official wives.

I've seen some reports about paranormal phenomena. In some countries where witchcraft is rampant and gangs run amok, people are murdered to extract their oil. When the police investigated, they found that this human oil was being sold on the black market and shipped to some developed countries. Some people even use it in mysterious cosmetics.

These are a few, just a very small number of things, that are popular in some extraordinary circles.

The world is vast, with a multitude of people. Beneath many dazzling facades lie strange fetishes, killings, perversions, and madness...

"Miss Mu, Miss Mu" Shao Yihang tapped the table with his finger.

"When would you be free to come over to my place I'm really worried about my mom... Of course, I wouldn't let you guys go through all that trouble for nothing. The fee—" He smiled at me, waiting for me to name a price.

"Anything about business or clients, you should ask my brother. Though, I don't think he'll charge you."

His eyes lit up slightly: "Really We have a deep bond, money shouldn't be—"

"No, no, no, you misunderstand. We're only helping you because we have a purpose."

My brother doesn't want to have anything more to do with you! Are you really clueless, or are you just pretending not to understand

Shao Yihang smiled knowingly and tapped the table with his finger, saying, "I understand."

"... wait until my dad comes back from his business trip, and I'll tell him about you. Lin Yanhuan recommended you, and my dad will return the favor."

"But you..." he narrowed his eyes at me, "If you're going to make a name for yourself in the capital, it might be best not to be so kind."

Need you to say that I feel like I've gotten a lot better than before. The first time I saw a baby ghost, I reflexively reached out. Now I'm much more cold-hearted.

"Can you come to my house now I'm really worried..." Shao Yihang urged again.

I almost agreed, but Jiang Qiyun looked at me with cold eyes, and a chill ran down my spine.

"Ahem... We just got back and need to freshen up. How about tonight"

Shao Yihang nodded. "Okay, I'll come again tonight."

When he left, he even asked me where my brother's room was. I quickly said that my brother was already asleep and sent him away. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking back, Jiang Qiyun stood in the small courtyard with his arms crossed, looking at me coldly and saying: "Mu Xiaoqiao, when I'm not here, you just eat and sleep casually"

"I pulled my neck back: "It's pretty busy... But I haven't been too hard on myself either. I have to make sure the baby has enough food, you know I eat well."

He grabbed my wrist and dragged me back to the room, slamming the door shut.

The room is very small, my bed is right behind me. The atmosphere...

"Hold on!" I immediately braced his shoulder as he came at me.

Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned, peering at me from above.

"Shall we discuss this a bit"

“I know what you’re going to say…don’t.” He chuckled, his lips brushing against my earlobe, a chilling scrape.

"Qiyun, the two babies are still very young. If they were to… and … and … It would be too much to handle! How about waiting until Gui He and Younan are a little older" I quickly blurted out my prepared speech.

He paused, narrowed his eyes and looked at me: "…Are you really not willing to have children anymore"

"It's not that... it's just that I don't want to do this so quickly... I, I still have a lot of things to do, and too many people I care about that I can't get anything done. You're so busy too!"

"Well, what do you suggest then" he asked, his brow furrowing slightly in displeasure.

"Or... maybe I should just take some medicine" I tilted my head and asked him.

As expected, he gave me a cold glare.

Well, I knew he wouldn't accept this proposal.

I was planning to use a "calculated" retreat, to see how he would react. I secretly clenched my fist with anticipation.

"Well then...maybe we should use contraception. There are condoms in the ghost market in Yinshan, I could go buy some and try them out."

He furrowed his brow deeply.

My brother is right, it's kind of hard to ask someone over 2,000 years old to accept condoms. After all, their concepts are different.

At the end of the day, he dislikes the way things are glued together by "going against yin and yang."

The interaction of yin and yang, giving birth to all things, that's the normal order in his view. Anything that interferes with this natural order by human force, he not only dislikes but also feels goes against the rules.

The concept of controlling population only emerged in recent decades, so it's understandable that he doesn't understand it.

"Or you could learn from my brother, don't, don't stay inside... But that carries a bigger risk. To be honest, there isn't much risk for me..." I offered this suggestion in the end.

This should be the suggestion he's most likely to accept.

But he fell silent, reaching out to gently brush my nose. “If you don’t really want to get pregnant,” he said softly, “we can not do it.”

Well...

No, not doing

"Yin and yang harmonizing is simply a natural phenomenon. If there are so many concerns, it's better to focus on cultivating one's nature. Why bother being distracted by these concerns when merging, thus burdening the original intention"

As he spoke, he slid down from me and lay on the outside of the bed, pulling me close.

" ...You, you're angry" This was the first time I had seriously discussed this with him, but I didn't expect his answer —

You can...or you don't have to...

I suddenly felt a little ridiculous.

He seems to be taking himself too seriously.

Although Jiang Qiyun can be domineering and insatiable at times, it doesn't mean he can't live without me.

Could he sit and forget for a hundred years Could I do that

If I don't do it, then I won't do it...

My nose felt sour, and I silently turned my head, unable to express the feelings swirling within me.

Bitterness and sourness.d years," I hurriedly explained.“A female ghost How could a female ghost possibly have celestial power We appeared because we sensed celestial power summoning us. I never expected it to be such a ghos...
