ld monster hiding. He almost came out of his lair before, and now we don't know where he's hiding, waiting for the right moment to strike." I followed Mu Xia Qiao up the mountain.We had walked for a w..."What caused these" Jiang Qiyun glanced at the pits on Chang Ning's body.

Chang Ning looked at his own corpse, his expression showing no fluctuation. Perhaps it was because he had been deformed and corrupted too many times, so he looked at it like someone else's corpse.

"Reporting to the honored deity, this should be the toxins in my body erupting after my death, with the worms leaving my body and forming this." Changning replied.

I was terrified and asked, "Changning, have you always had so many worms in your body"

Changning said in a nonchalant tone: "Little Empress, Gu is too mysterious. Unlike Taoism, there's no classic tradition to learn from, so I don't understand it much. Over the past few decades, I feel...Gu is like a meat membrane wrapped around a ball, staying inside the body. If it doesn't erupt, you wouldn't feel anything. But if it does erupt, it's like a hedgehog pricking at your five internal organs and six bowels, leaving them soaked in blood..."

I edged slightly closer to Jiang Qiyun's side, listening intently.

My brother stood aside, reaching out to touch the stiff body that was hard as a popsicle from the cold.

He wasn't afraid of the corpses, and even reached out to touch a large, dark hole, saying in a low voice, "This must have crawled out from inside. The space inside is pretty big."

"Uncle Interface said, 'We've all measured. The largest hole is in the chest, two centimeters in diameter.'"

Two centimeters might not sound like much, but seeing a black, gaping wound can be quite frightening.

Changning whispered, "Perhaps it's the Mother Gu that crawled out..."

"Worm Mother, I silently swallowed my saliva. Two centimeters wide How big would the whole thing be..."

My brother suddenly looked up and asked, “ThisGu, if the host's body dies, will the Gu crawl out by itself Won't it die with the host”

This question has no answer.

Even Jiang Qiyun didn't know.

"As for the matter of witchcraft and sorcery, it's best to consult Mu Wanchen. He knows more than we do." Jiang Qiyun spoke up.

I nodded and turned to ask my uncle, "Uncle, how did you find this body It clearly was dug up from the ground. How could someone dig a hole in this deep mountain forest"

My uncle helplessly spread his hands and said, “We’re also troubled by this kind of thing. The bodies buried in peace are dug up again, and it's still such a difficult problem. Where do we even begin to investigate And on top of that, the whole thing has been exposed, so the pressure is especially great!”

"Yeah, what's going on Why did this get exposed" My brother also asked.

Uncle sighed and said that the place was remote, but recently a reality show had been filmed there, bringing a group of celebrities who hadn't received much exposure lately to perform.

Because it was raining, the filming schedule was delayed and they had to pitch tents and sleep at the foot of the hill.

As it turned out, a mountain dweller saw so many people camping and thought of stealing things in the middle of the night.

The stealthy mountain dweller, upon being discovered, fled desperately. He seemed to have been bitten by a venomous snake or insect and collapsed to the ground, falling into the burial place of Changning. When the crew captured the mountain dweller, they found the soil soft.

Because the heavy rain washed away a lot of sand and soil, they found Changning's body after digging down a few times.

"The show has now been shut down, the crew disbanded, and the TV station pulled the plug on the whole project. The problem is that photos have already been taken, and although all online photos have been removed, a few are still circulating on WeChat. We are tracking them down one by one and demanding their immediate deletion." Uncle sighed helplessly.

Jiang Qiyun coldly opened his mouth and said: "What about the villager who was bitten"

Maybe that fellow wasn't bitten by a venomous snake, but by a poisonous insect burrowing out from the corpse.

"He's still in the hospital, still unconscious. We have colleagues keeping watch around the clock." Uncle replied.

Jiang Qiyun whispered to me, "Mu Xia Qiao, ask your uncle to find a way to get this corpse out. We'll take it to Mu Wanchen and have him send it back quickly."

Pffft... *cough cough*.

"Borrow a corpse! That's too hard! The rules in the human world are very strict!" I shook my head vigorously.

My brother whispered, "You're stupid, Xiaoqiao. As long as Uncle isn't around, Jiang Qiyun can just use some spells to change things up whenever he wants!"

"How do we do this" I looked at Jiang Qiyun, "Make sure Uncle doesn't take the blame, alright"

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me: "Throw a lotus root here, create some kind of diversion, and it can be exchanged. After you see it, return it quickly."

Okay, I pulled my uncle aside and whispered to him.

Uncle, after all, is still family. He knows that the intricacies of these matters are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and readily agreed.

Jiang Qiyun asked me for the peachwood box to hold the body. We followed Uncle away, going to the office to act like we were drinking tea, leaving behind an alibi.

After the freezer's management personnel checked and locked it before leaving, Jiang Qiyun cast a spell to make the security camera malfunction for a few seconds. Then he appeared beside me, whispering, "Let's go back to Nanshan."

Nanshan.

Those two simple words instantly brought to mind the small garden he had built for me and his long-held, unspoken affection.

My brother couldn't take the path of his sect, so my brother and uncle went to the hospital to see the villager who was bitten. I and Jiang Qiyun brought the peach wood box to Wuhwang City.

We appeared on the platform of Muwanchen Palace. There was no one in the palace, only the sound of long, echoing horns.

On the river surface, bustling with boats of all sizes, stood a fleet led by Mu Wanchen's dragon-headed ship. A divine eagle perched atop its mast.

It seems like he just came back from outside. His dragon-headed boat was docked at the pier, and he was walking towards here along the winding staircase.

Mu Wanchen was easy to find. He was tall and strong, with long arms and a powerful waist. A golden eagle perched on his shoulder. He wore a complex, dark purple outfit today, with gold-trimmed collars and cuffs, looking very formal.

"... Dressed up so formally What for" I asked, a bit curious.

Because it was the first time I saw him, he only had a flimsy piece of cloth draped over his shoulders! That amount of fabric was practically nothing, just to show off his physique! He was also wearing an arm ring and a mask, giving off a very exotic vibe.

Jiang Qiyun replied faintly, "There should be a sacrificial ceremony."

Sacrifice……

Oh, right, he is the Great Shaman, a Great Shaman who doesn't distinguish between shamanism and sorcery.

When he came up to us, he was slightly taken aback, and knelt on one knee before Jiang Qiyun in a salute: "Master."

And me, and me

He eagerly pointed at himself, rubbing against Jiang Qiyun's side, waiting for him to sweetly call out "master".

"Mu Xia Qiao, you definitely didn't come here for good reasons." Mu Wan Chen said coldly.

...

Because this "disciple" was no ordinary person, Jiang Qiyun had shown him leniency! He didn't even say anything about him bullying me, and just glanced at me and said: “Do you want to hear him call you Master”

I nodded and called her "Teacher Wife" — how adorable! His cold, hard, and oppressive appearance... if he coaxes and acts cute calling her "Teacher Wife," it would be so alluring!

Jiang Qiyun turned to Mu Wanchen and said, "If she wants to hear it, just coax her occasionally."

Mù Wǎn Chén reluctantly opened his mouth: "It's... my junior wife."

"Can you remove the small font" It completely changes the flavor!

Mu Wanchen got up and said, "I don't have time to play with you. What do you want from me—"class every other day, missing each other occasionally during the day and still clinging to each other at night.This kind of simple life doesn't belong to us.I slept until the dusk of the next day, an...
