Exposed

ave a special kind of power that can influence a person's destiny, aura, thoughts, and so on… Just like you said a moment ago about being enlightened, it seems like one of my words just now had an imp...Although the Dragon King has disappeared now, even Mu Wanchen doesn't quite believe that he's completely vanished.

As the fire talisman burned him to his last moment, his giant snake suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed him. Then, both the snake and the flames vanished together.

Perhaps this is a ritual. The Dragon King, even in death, does not wish to expose his remains to the world.

His body also held many secrets, and he would take them to the grave.

After that, Mu Wanchen used the Shui Ling Fu to pay respects, and also to see if there were any traces of the Dragon King within the Dharma Gate.

The results were not found at all.

The clouds churned and thunder roared, rain poured everywhere, but there was no trace of the Dragon King's presence.

Perhaps he really is dead.

He lives unseen, dies unburied. He leaves us with an unknown "fear" in the end.

"Ahem... Second Miss Yin, why do you look so troubled" Lu's sister spoke up, inquiring.

"It's nothing... We don't know anyone outside the border. Even if we went to check it out, we'd run into a lot of obstacles. I'm just a student with little social experience. What if someone notices something's off" I said worriedly.

She let out two eerie laughs: "You lack social experience, but you're quite knowledgeable about all these mystical practices, aren't you I've kept this secret hidden from the public all this time, and you should know my purpose... If you can help me with this, I'll continue to keep silent, and I might even offer you some favors. But if I get exposed because of this... well, let's just say I might reveal some things about you. Do you understand"

Is this a threat to me

"...I understand, but that place is far away. Last time I was taken hostage abroad and barely escaped after all the struggle... I don't think I'm capable of handling this. Even if you tell me everything, I still can't solve it. There's no other way, we might as well all go down together."

She was taken aback by this, not expecting to be threatened. She immediately changed the subject and said, “ …Don’t worry, I only need you to go and investigate. I’ll arrange for someone to meet you at the border and take care of all the tedious details for you. Of course, I’ll also pay you handsomely for your trouble. You must be in need of money right now, aren’t you”

I was startled: "How did you know"

"I pulled some strings, and found out your brother's account had a large transaction... hmph..." She laughed twice in a sinister tone.

"Cough cough cough... Miss Yin Er, I was disrespectful to you before, but I have also been punished. Now my body is getting worse and worse, I feel like I can't hold on much longer—"

"It's not our fault that you're in this condition...don't blame us! You look sluggish and pale, like someone with a serious illness. Maybe you should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. Don't ignore any potential health issues." I said kindly.

Her face was originally square, a kind of wide face that looked very imposing. Now her cheeks were sunken, like a deflated ball, making her brow bones and cheekbones appear particularly prominent.

She didn't notice when she had fleshy cheeks and a full face. Now, looking at her features, they seem very unwell.

In physiognomy, the cheekbones represent a person's power and desire. In ancient times, it was generally believed that women with high cheekbones would bring misfortune to their husbands.

Actually, this is mainly based on phrenology. People with prominent cheekbones are strong-willed. In modern times, this isn't necessarily a bad thing for women, as women can now earn money to support themselves and their families. Therefore, this saying mainly prevailed in ancient times.

But the sayings left by our ancestors do have some reason to them. Bones belong to yang, and flesh belongs to yin. A high cheekbone with no flesh will bring misfortune to husbands and children.

She wasn't like this before. Her face was round and full, looking strong but not sharp. Now, her appearance seems quite "striking," I always feel she has a very aggressive air about her.

"The doctor couldn't find anything wrong. I suspect it might be because our house isn't clean enough. A master told me that in places with strong qi, it's good for your health." She frowned and said, "My husband is doing something unknown at the border, and even our home feels unsettled..."

“The unrest in your home is partly your doing……You are too domineering, and generally speaking, you carry an air of authority and have a murderous aura. Ordinary ghosts and spirits would avoid you unless you have done something wrong……” I stated directly.

"Hmph... Guilty conscience How many people in this world haven't done something they regret! Everyone is tainted!" She huffed angrily.

"No way, I know people who haven't done anything wrong," I shrugged, like my little wife.

A person like Xiao Shi Niang would hardly do anything to harm others; she simply lacks aggression.

Unlike this woman in front of me, she's definitely done some shady things for power, status, and her husband's business.

“Now… I don’t even dare to show my face. I took leave from work and privately asked someone to come get you... I can only hide here, I don't dare let my family see me, I don't even dare to look in the mirror!” She hysterically hugged her head, her voice trembling slightly.

She looks extremely stressed, I hope she doesn't suddenly go mad and attack me.

"By the way... you, don't you have a very special man Where is he Can he save me from this predicament! I won't disrespect you anymore, I can even give you all my money! Just let me go back to how I was before—" She glared at me with bloodshot eyes, hoarsely screaming.

I pressed my back against the door, my hand gripping the doorknob behind me.

My husband, my husband is also going through a tribulation right now. He hasn't been in touch for two or three days, I'm even more anxious than you.

But I can't say it out loud. This woman is obviously afraid of Mu Wanchen, that's why she's being so "polite" to me.

“ … Don't get excited, take care of yourself… That, I suggest you don't live in this kind of place. It's harmful to your health. Why not go back to a more comfortable place…”

“I dare not see people! Now when others see me, they avoid me. If someone with ill intentions takes my picture and exposes it… my career is over!” She angrily shouted at me: “As long as you can go to the border as soon as possible and check on my husband’s situation, I can think of a way to deal with it. Don’t rely on those so-called masters! Most of those guys are just swindlers. You two are the real ‘extraterrestrials’ I’ve ever seen. You must be able to help me relieve my worries, right…”

She widened her eyes and dropped one last bait at me: "I know your elder sister has been missing, with no trace of her whereabouts. But I received intel from our brothers' unit that she was found in a certain place. Do you want to know"

“...Thought so.”

"I can tell you, but you have to go to the border and see for yourself what's happening."

I nodded and sighed, "Alright, I promised you before, and now that you're so insistent... if I didn't agree, I'm afraid you might do something even more extreme... So, tell me first, where did you find my senior sister"

She grinned, a chilling smile: "Coincidence. Right...on the border." very dangerous and he told me to leave the courtyard immediately.Jiang Qiyun arrived in time, he broke the chains and performed the Heavenly Essence Technique and the Purple Micro Demon Subduing Seal...
