1181 Overachievement

because you instructed him to leave me... Thank you... I'm not a malicious fox fairy, and I will repay your kindness. You can ask me to do anything."Her face was an unnatural pallor, her voice laced...The elder sister said a few words to the guards by the gate, then led me across the floating bridge.

I still trust her. Maybe she has some ulterior motives, something she can't say, or maybe she's gone astray... It's all possible.

We usually have our elder brother to discipline us, while our elder sister mostly does her own assigned work. She interacts with many officials and dignitaries, so she is worldly-wise and shrewd.

In our minds, she was always a capable, intelligent, and independent person. After all, not many people in our family had business acumen, only the eldest sister and the seventh senior brother.

I watched her back and couldn't understand why she wouldn't stay in a big city, live in a grand and orderly mansion, but instead ran off to this dangerous and obscure deep mountain forest

"Senior Sister, is it because of money" I couldn't help but ask.

She turned her head slightly and smiled, "What did you say"

"I said, 'Is it because of the money Do you need a lot of money'"

"Well... of course not."

Her smile, I couldn't understand.

I kept silent and followed her forward, bowing my head.

Here, no matter how light your step, a slight "creak" will sound.

Perhaps because of this, there were few servants moving around this week. Otherwise, the creaking and groaning sounds would be too chaotic and would affect that "person" in the main house.

The main house was built on the hillside, at the end of the entire estate.

There was no water around, and many large trees obscured the moonlight.

The entire house, both inside and out, lacked any lighting, yet it emanated a subtle chill of gloom.

There is something inside.

I'm sure this isn't Sister Lu's husband.

"Senior Sister, why did you bring me here Are there any living people here" I stopped walking and refused to go any further.

The eldest sister squinted at the house and chuckled softly, "Of course there is... Sister Lu's husband lives here."

"Don't lie to me, there's a strong sense of ghostly energy here, and the anger is so intense that even talismans can't contain it. How could there be any living people here" Wouldn't anyone who stayed here be affected by this energy Either they would become sickly and in pain, or their good fortune would be drained away.

The elder sister chuckled, "Little junior sister has made progress... but she's really just here. He usually stays in that room, he doesn't need to worry about things here."

What does that mean Sister Lu's husband is just a figurehead He doesn't care about anything and just stays here, carefree

It's impossible! How could an ordinary person possibly live here for long

Senior Sister reached out and grasped my wrist, saying, "Don't be afraid, little sister. Your man is so capable, you shouldn't fear these trifles Come, let me show you something clear, then you can go back... Don't come here again, okay"

Her tone changed, and she coldly added, “Also warn Sister Lu, she shouldn’t meddle in her husband's affairs. If she does, she might get into a lot of trouble… Little junior sister, you shouldn't involve yourself in these matters… Does your husband actually trust you to come to such a place alone”

"He... he has something to do, so he's not here." I heard it said a few times about Mu Wanchen, and my heart felt a little protective, so I couldn't help but defend him.

The elder sister snorted coldly, refusing to acknowledge my words, and grabbed my wrist, pulling me forward.

I was a little hesitant to go forward, but she walked with determination and seemed to know exactly what was going on here.

The main house was silent. Moonlight was blocked by the tall trees surrounding it, only a few rays filtering through.

The houses and all the buildings were made of wood and bamboo, with no cement bricks or tiles. Even the faint moonlight could penetrate, casting a soft, hazy glow.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

My elder sister brought me under the eaves, where many talismans were hanging.

She motioned for me to peek through the crack, then clasped her hands together and watched the wooden beads at the door with an air of indifference.

I cautiously edged up to the crack in the window, peering inside through the gaps in the bamboo.

It was pitch black inside, and the space was surprisingly vast. I squinted my eyes to adjust for a while before managing to make out the room's furnishings in the faint moonlight.

Something is moving inside.

I saw several plump white bodies lying on the ground. Their mouths were gagged with strips of cloth, and they could only let out low whimpers.

A man was rolling on them.

It's not like I'm doing that kind of thing.

That man seems to have a mental problem.

Like a giant baby.

Is he still human

These places are rife with sorcery and witchcraft, and were once the territory of the Dragon King. Looking at these unusual actions, they should no longer be considered normal people.

My senior sister was staring at me from behind, which made me feel a little creeped out. When I turned around to look at her, she gave me a light smile and led me out.

"See This man can only live in this house now. After leaving this formation, his chances of doing evil are too great. It's better for him to stay here and be a 'Jade Essence', looking at stones and waiting for death."

"Jade's essence is in the stone Or something else on it" I frowned and asked.

The senior sister gave a sly smile: "Sure, it's not easy to fool the younger sister now..."

"What on earth is going on Senior Sister, tell me, if you're in trouble we can help you. Is it worth betraying the sect for just a man and some money What are you after!"

The eldest sister sneered, "I've raised him for three years... What he has on him..."

"...Little ghost"

"Did you see that Not bad... That's the backlash of a refined little demon... This little demon's origins aren't simple, hmph hmph. At birth, it was one corpse and two lives, its bones stolen by grave robbers and sold to the Dragon King. He summoned and refined it, seeking revenge with a particularly heavy heart and strong resentment... I raised this little demon for three years before making him obedient..."

"You... what are you going to do with this!"

The eldest sister raised an eyebrow and said, "Who wouldn't want boundless magical power if they were someone who straddled Yin and Yang"

Limitless magical power

"Wake up, Senior Sister! We are just healers, we don't need boundless magic. You've gone down the wrong path!"

She let out a light chuckle, not answering my question. Instead, she asked, "Little junior sister, isn't your husband coming to pick you up"

"He can't make it..." I said casually.

“...”I’ve been probing you for so long, and he still hasn’t shown up. It seems like it’s truly... over…” She casually threw out a sentence.

Huh

I looked up at her, the moment our eyes met, she jabbed me in the back of my neck with a needle.

My neck went numb, and a surge of fear instantly flooded my heart — anesthesia

"... You know enough, little junior sister. It's time to go back and report to your client... If one can even dream across borders..."

She narrowed her eyes coldly: "Your man is here, I wouldn't dare to touch you. But I've probed him three or five times, and he hasn't shown up... It seems like he really doesn't care about you!"u stay in the water prison and explain yourselves clearly. If you can't give me a satisfactory answer... I'll make sure you never have the chance to speak again."Water prisonI was carried out by two m...
