herwise snakes, creatures of such evil qi, wouldn't crawl near human dwellings, especially one as old and powerful as this." I took out my compass, sure enough, the energy field here was chaotic, and...I was startled. Didn't these people all pass out

Being stuck in the crack was bad enough, but then being suddenly startled like that, I let out a cry. The little boy quickly grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside!

I stumbled and fell after the threshold of death, landing right on the doorstep of the small courtyard.

"What's wrong, what's wrong" The little boy wiped the chocolate crumbs from his mouth and quickly reached out to help me.

"That person moved..." I whispered.

A little boy squatted beside me, peering through the crack in the door. The gap in the ghost gate wasn't large; even if these people stood up, they couldn't come in. At this moment, the old man who was biting my trousers had his whites of his eyes showing and his mouth open, his shriveled face facing us.

Looking out from the crack was horrifying, like a corpse that wouldn't stay dead.

At this moment, his jaw twitched like a fish in a dried-up pond.

The little boy tilted his head in confusion and said, "These people must be immortal, relying on elixirs to prolong their lives... Why are they moving"

I was thinking about the deja vu feeling from before, guessing that Yue must be hiding nearby. She couldn't openly stand with us, so she must be trying to give us some hints.

We rushed into the house and told Jiang Qiyun about this. Jiang Qiyun narrowed his eyes and said, “A Yue was recommended by the Judge of Hell, so she must be quite capable. Since she's skilled in the art of puppetry, she should have manipulated someone to deliver this message.”

"But...he just moved his mouth, what does that mean He didn't say anything..." I asked, confused.

"At least she's in the vicinity," Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly, and said to Yu Gui as he passed her, "I'll go take a look."

I was about to return when I froze, and hurriedly asked, "Eh Where's Younan"

"This is Mu Yunfan's room," Jiang Qiyun said.

My brother's room is opposite mine, the two bedrooms on the east side of the main house. He lives in the west room. I rushed to his room and saw You Nan sitting on Jie Du's lap, staring intently at my brother's laptop.

The battery is half depleted, and a science fiction movie is currently playing on the computer.

"Hmph, this kind of thing I could shatter with a single sword strike!" Ji Du muttered to himself.

I rolled my eyes. “Are you crazy! How can you hold a baby and watch the computer! What if it hurts their eyes! How are you looking after the child!”

Ji Du was taken aback and said angrily, "What! I only picked him up because he looks like the Emperor! I just wanted to tease him a little. Who has the patience to look after your children Take him back, take him back!"

This guy is stubborn! Jiang Qiyun isn't stupid, if you were really bullying Xiaoyunan, how would he let you hold the child

Yunan was clutching his sleeve. The Zun Shen's robe had wide, flowing sleeves, windswept and dashing – very convenient for grabbing onto and biting.

So when he handed it to me, Xiaoyuan still didn't want to let go.

Then, with a smug grin, he said: "That's right, men should stick together. Spending all day with your mother will make you cry like a baby... Why don't you come to the Upper Realm with me I'll teach you how to fight!"

Rolling, rolling, rolling....

I grabbed You Nan and ran outside. The little boy helped me guard the entrance, and he was making faces at Yu while doing it: "Little Lady, Little Fairy you're so cute ~~ Want some candy I'll peel it for you…"

"You can't give her that!! It'll get stuck in her throat!! Do you have any common sense!" I looked at him, both amused and exasperated.

Ji Du was leaning against the door, arms crossed, and said with displeasure: "Hmph, how could the Son of God be like ordinary children For their own good, it's better to throw them into the Qinghua Changle Realm sooner."

Come on, if you're so capable, give birth to two yourself and see if you can handle it!

Jiang Qiyun checked outside the door and leaped in from the Ghost Gate, looking for Quen Heng to get the head of the human puppet.

That "head" was chopped down by me because I was worried that there might be some kind of magic hidden inside, so I gave it to Quan Heng to watch over.

A gui is a type of spirit in Chinese folklore. It takes the shape of a human but contains a controlled ghost within its body.

This person puppet is made of wood, however the surface skin looks like human skin, and I don't know what material it is.

Jiang Qiyun held the head, raising his hand to twist the long hair into a knot, looking both terrifying and somewhat disgusting.

He examined the characters etched there carefully, his fingertips tracing them with a luminous glow.

Where the head had been severed, a wisp of bluish smoke rose, faint tendrils that vanished into thin air in an instant.

"Qi Yun, be careful..." I couldn't help but remind him.

Jiang Qiyun slightly frowned and walked over, turning the broken limbs of the puppet upwards, and asked: "Did you do this"

I nodded, I was quite angry at the time, so I swung my sword down and cleanly severed his head and shoulder. The head rolled with a gurgling sound to the foot of the wall behind him.

"What's wrong… shouldn't we cut it" I asked a little nervously.

He looked at me and smiled, "No, you hit pretty accurately. You didn't destroy the head."

A normal person would find it repulsive to look at a human head—even a puppet's head. I took a small step back and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this head"

"There's a very hidden method... I just went out to take a look, and there was indeed someone on the ground moving their jaw as if being controlled... This should be a reminder to us."

Jiang Qiyun, as she spoke, reached out and pried open Ren Kui's tightly shut mouth.

With a sharp *crack*, he forcefully broke the hidden mechanism. The puppet's mouth flew open, spewing out a cloud of green smoke.

"Want to take a look" He looked up at me, a hint of a smile on his lips. "I bet there's something in here you'll be interested in."

"Will you come with me" I asked.

"Nonsense."

"What about the child"

"Leave it with the counting house and the young boys."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Du immediately shouted, "Why should I show you the child!"

"... If these two little things get hurt, the old man Ziwei can send you to the mortal realm. Don't believe me Try it." Jiang Qiyun sneered.

"I…" Ji Du was so angry that his eyes widened.

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly to Quan Heng, and Quan Heng immediately said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely protect the mansion!"

He reached out and pressed on the head's "tongue," another plume of blue smoke, making me dizzy and I couldn't help but squint my eyes and wave my hand.

The blue smoke dissipated, and before me was darkness. After my eyes adjusted slightly, I saw two female ghosts standing in front of me.

A blood-soaked coarse linen robe, hair disheveled, face covered in blood, hung limply before them as if hanged by the neck.

Jiang Qiyun naturally stepped in front of me, giving me a moment to mentally prepare, before he slowly said: "Don't be afraid, this is also a human puppet."

"...Why make it so realistic..."

"Hmm" Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Because it's a real person, of course."

"Ah!" What two deadbeats!

“Mu Xiaoqiao, how can you be so foolish.” Jiang Qiyun sighed, shaking his head with a smirk: “The little mistress of the Underworld is actually so afraid of ghosts.”

What does that mean He's speaking with a hint of disappointment.

Before I could explain, Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and pointed at the two of them. Two surges of energy shot forward. I heard the sound of the creaky door opening..., always so straightforward in her words and actions, unfazed by the gazes of others.I'd better avoid dealing with her as much as possible... I have a feeling she won't let it go.My name is Lai Dabao....
