the talisman paper into an empty triangle. She muttered to herself, throwing the triangle into the air.For a moment, I felt a chill run down my spine. A translucent ghost rose from the blood-soaked co...I feel a little scared and guilty, like I've done something wrong.

The blood motes scattered... Yin and Yang Qi were unable to maintain their cohesion, so they dissipated

Jiang Qiyun's cool fingers gently rubbed my hand, as if comforting me.

Comfort...

This counts as, a pregnancy failure

I know it's not helpful to be so agitated now, but I can't help my heart racing and feeling flustered.

Before, I held resentment towards Jiang Qiyun because he completely disregarded my emotional state and even dared to do it in the car. But now...I realize how important the "ji" in the word "ji yuan" (opportunity) truly is.

Doing the right thing at the right time will lead to good results.

My mind was in a daze, and suddenly I felt a tingling sensation of both cold and warmth on my cheeks.

Jiang Qiyun reached out and touched my cheek. Yu Gui at my chest also raised her little chubby hand to pat my face. You Nan was tugging at my hair, as if all three of them were comforting me at the same time.

Jiang Qiyun reached out and untied the Yuannan clasp on my back, holding me close. "Don't be sad," she whispered softly. "Mundane affairs are complex, yin and yang don't always converge, and it's difficult for the Chi Dragon to appear... This is fate, it's not your fault."

Jiè Dōu listened, utterly bewildered, and asked: "Your Majesty, what trickery are you playing"

The little boy shoved a candy into his hand: "Your Majesty, are you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong when the Emperor is entertaining his wife and child"

I leaned down and kissed her little nose, which had just returned. She giggled and clapped her hands excitedly, patting my face.

Ji Du angrily glared at Jiang Qiyun and mumbled, “You call yourself the Emperor of Heaven, yet you put yourself in danger for your wife and children! Have you forgotten your divine duties!”

"If you're jealous, you could try marrying a wife. Maybe you'll get lucky and conceive a child, then the old geezer Ziwei will be happy and leave you a way in his Purple Forbidden Palace... That would save you from causing such a ruckus every day," Jiang Qiyun said leisurely, holding Younan in one arm and propping her chin with the other.

The little boy's mouth was stuffed full, and at this he couldn't hold back. "Pffft!" He almost burst into laughter, quickly covering his mouth with both hands.

Jiang Qiyun looked at him: "Don't just focus on eating. Those people outside need medicinal pills to keep them alive. When the lunar eclipse fades and the light returns, the Taiyin Qi will be strong, and there will definitely be a wave of attacks."

The little boy's eyes widened: "Have to eat my elixir again! There are so many people outside, can we just ignore them!"

Jiang Qiyun glared at him, and the little boy pouted his mouth in grievance, too afraid to speak.

I dug out the last two chocolate bars from the bag beside the Eight Immortals' table and handed them to the little boy. He widened his eyes, smiled, and took them, then went out carrying his big gourd.

Immortal's elixir, not as good as two chocolate bars.

I worry that the little boy would be in danger if he went out alone, so I took the off and gave it to Jiang Qiyun. Anyway, these two little fellows are particularly good at pleasing their father, one sitting on each side of his legs, looking expectantly at him and tugging at his clothes for favor.

The little boy bit on a chocolate bar and poured out a handful of tiny, red bean-sized pills from the large gourd.

I questioned suspiciously, "How many pills are inside your big gourd"

"Little Wolf, now you understand, right… Immortal Frame Device, meow~ I'm so poor~ "

Yes yes yes, I think I understand.

Meow meow…

“Finish eating and then let's talk properly!”

He swallowed the chocolate bar and still complained that I made him eat too quickly. He divided a handful of small pills for me.

"These are all byproducts of alchemy. These people being able to eat even a single one is considered great fortune. They don't have any other effects, but they can keep you alive for a while..." he said with a chuckle.

This little guy is a bit of a tightwad.

I helped stuff the small pill into the unconscious person's mouth.

Eight ghost gates stood behind us, forming a tight iron ring. The only opening was just big enough for someone like me and the little boy to squeeze through.

Beyond the Ghost Gate lies a hazy and ethereal long street.

Darkness, gloom, not a hint of normalcy, even ghosts would hide away.

In the heavy darkness ahead, it seemed as if countless pairs of dead and silent eyes were staring at us, making our skin crawl.

A faint chill wind brushed against the bluestone pavement, blowing from the end of the street where a thick black mist shrouded everything. I looked up towards it, as if something was hidden there.

It shouldn't be a wandering ghost, should it We're standing right at the gates of hell. Any stray ghosts that come near would be dragged away immediately.

But this scene is very familiar, where have I seen it before

The little boy crouched at my feet feeding me medicinal pills. Seeing me take out the Purple Heaven Ruyi, he couldn't help but raise his head and follow my gaze to the end of the street. "Huh Why is there a gust of gloomy wind"

This scene felt familiar, a sudden image flashed in my mind—

The Yin Marshal Yue!

At that time, she was also hidden in a patch of black mist, using black cloth as chains, and even chained two little imps!

Could it be Yue is over there

A slight breeze continued to blow from that direction, swirling around the ancient blue bricks, carrying with it a faint, mournful sigh.

I wanted to take a closer look. A young boy grabbed my sleeve and whispered, “My Lady, we are inside the Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram has thousands of forms and myriad appearances, most of which are born from the heart. What you see with your own eyes here is not real. You must not leave the protection of the Ghost Gate.”

Protective range

"Your Majesty's divine powers protect these spirit gates. With His might and cultivation, no demons or spirits dare approach. However, if you leave this area, the outside is filled with stray souls from the streets and the ever-changing patterns of the Taiji diagram. It would be very dangerous! Don't even think about it, little Lady. Even I, or Jie Duo and Quan Heng like me, are just minor deities who can't guarantee our minds will remain clear and steadfast within the Taiji diagram!" The young boy said seriously.

"But... I think..."

Amy.

I used my mouth to gesture these two characters.

My brother and Yanqin, as well as Xiaonie and Xiaoxing, are all in her hands. She specially used a puppet to deliver the message, I don't know if it was out of kindness or deliberately to disrupt my state of mind.

The little boy is quite concerned about my older brother too. After all, I often control his snack intake, while my older brother is much more generous. Both the elder and the little boy are very popular in both the underworld and here.

“Why don't we go report to the Emperor first and see what he says.” The little boy pulled me inside.

We squeezed through the crack in the underworld, he was small enough that his gourd fit perfectly, but I…

How easy it is to come out, but difficult to go in

The little boy crossed his arms and looked at me stuck there, shaking his head disapprovingly and saying, "That's why ancient people admired 'pointed peppers,' Little Empress, you are simply too full-figured!"

Good lord!

"You, at such a young age, already driving! You're turning bad!" I shouted.

"I'm not small! I'm hundreds of years old!" the child cried angrily.

I was fuming and shoved my way in, ready to give him a beating. I wanted to show him that elementary school kids aren't allowed to play games like King of Glory or drive cars like adults!

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my calf. I strained to turn my head.

An old man, stiff as a dead fish with his eyes white and bulging, yet with a lewd grin and his mouth clamped onto my trousers—yself."Do you think they're deliberately going in circles" I asked suspiciously. "This place... doesn't look like somewhere a wealthy person would come at all... eh"The old man walked through the alle...
