voice sounded a little lost.“You don’t need to understand. We are not those kind of demon-slaying wizards, just a little kindness — though you best not try to harm us. Since you've appeared, you must...Lin Yanhuan's expression suddenly turned serious, and a layer of coldness flashed in her eyes.

I was stunned and didn't understand what I had said wrong.

We were chatting happily and casually just a moment ago, how did the mood suddenly turn so sour

My surprise must have been too obvious, as Lin Yanhuan glanced at me and withdrew the chill from his body.

"Sorry, I startled you."

“What did I say wrong”

"No, it's just your words that make me feel a bit sentimental."

Feelings The ice in my eyes is frozen so hard it almost pierces through, just feelings

I didn't dare ask any further, so I hurried to return the little bamboo rat.

The large, chubby bamboo rat leader was lying at the hole, squeaking impatiently, as if eager for me to take him back.

The leader of the bamboo rats had blood on his head, Ji Dou Xingjun was truly ruthless!

"If only I had brought you some powdered medicine…" I looked at the big, fat bamboo rat with a bit of heartache. It was so adorable! How could there be such cute monsters in the Demon Realm

The bamboo rat leader lay in the wall cavity, its sharp claws too afraid to come out, only clinging to the bricks.

"Look, I saved them." I held up the two little bamboo rats.

The little bamboo rat was still closing its eyes, twisting its head towards me sniffing, as if it didn't want to leave me.

Oh, I can't take it anymore, seeing this makes me want to adopt one.

The bamboo rat leader lowered its head and rubbed my upper arm with its forehead, showing friendliness.

"Would you like some food Thank you for helping me tidy up the yard, I can offer you something to eat." I asked the leader of the bamboo rats.

...

I heard a light chuckle.

Turning her head, Lin Yanhuan was seen raising her hand to lightly cover her lips.

OMG! Don't hide it! I know you're laughing at me!

The bamboo rat doesn't know if it understands or not, anyway it's pretty friendly to me. The two baby bamboo rats were taken back to their mother's side, but the big one still didn't want to leave my back, rubbing against it constantly.

This clingy I'm melting.

And they're really efficient. What used to be a mess of rubble and broken stones is now neatly organized, and there's even a fat bamboo rat standing on its hind legs, holding a branch in its front paws, sweeping the floor!

This cuteness is simply hitting my heart.

“Ah ah, so cute! Mother must be secretly playing with the bamboo rat!” A voice came from outside the corridor as Yu Gui and You Nan ran over to our side. Jiang Qiyun walked behind them, holding Lan Xi in one hand.

It's just like herding sheep.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at Lin Yanhuan and said to me in a nonchalant tone: "I said, you went to get that bamboo rat and haven't come back for half a day. It turns out you were chatting with someone while wearing your snowy cloak..."

I'm speechless, Jiang Qiyun is really something. What's so good about this vinegar

Lin Yanhuan is who he is, he knows better than I do! I still heard "taimiao sheji" (referring to the ancestral temple and state) from his mouth.

Yu Gui prefers these little cute creatures more than me. She runs too fast and tripped over a rock, almost making skin-to-ground contact.

A large hand reached out and firmly grasped Yu Gui, this little fool. Lin Yanhuan stood in the middle of us, perfectly positioned to catch Yu Gui.

Upon seeing the smiling face of her uncle, she grinned and sweetly said, “Thank you, Uncle.”

Uncle

Well… I furrow my brow, searching my mind for the right term.

Lin Yanhuan is the uncle of Gui Yunan's cousin, it seems like calling him "uncle" isn't a problem But it also seems a bit off...

How would you address someone who comes from within the Five Realms

Never mind, just call him Uncle.

Lin Yanhuan didn't mind the address at all. He called him "uncle" so sweetly and softly that a clear smile appeared on his face, and he even picked up Yu Gui in his arms.

He should not have been able to see Jiang Qiyun, but seeing Lan Xi "floating" in mid-air, he understood.

Lin Yanhun said in a light tone to the group, "Don't go to dangerous places, kids. Let me take you to play up front." But his eyes were fixed on Jiang Qiyun.

Here is the translation of the provided text, with HTML tags retained:

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

You Nan immediately stood up straight and asked seriously, "What do we play... can we play with guns"

Lin Yanhuan chuckled lightly, reaching out to ruffle Younan's head: "Okay, I'll give you a magazine to play with after we're done."

Hearing this, Younan immediately became Lin Yanhua's little follower, sticking closely to the side of her legs.

At this point, even though she was tired, she still didn't want to stop playing with the air guns. She held onto Lin Yanhuan's collar tightly, afraid that she wouldn't get a turn to play.

Lin Yanhuan turned with her two children and brushed past Jiang Qiyun, who was holding Lan Xi in his arms.

I thought they didn't want to meet, but when the two met, Lin Yanhuan suddenly said, "Is the underworld very busy"

"Busy or not busy, it depends on how chaotic you are." Jiang Qiyun replied coldly.

Lin Yanhuan slightly lowered his eyes, snowflakes fluttering across his eyelashes.

For a moment, I had the feeling that he could communicate with Jiang Qiyun Even if they couldn't see or touch each other, could they still talk!

Perhaps it was too cold, his eyes flickered for a moment, then returned to that deep black.

"It won't be chaotic," Lin Yanhuan said with certainty. The determination in his voice was clear to me. It sounded like he was talking to himself.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept across, carrying Jiang Qiyun's words to his ear —

"The human world is safe and sound, and the underworld is naturally peaceful and undisturbed."

What's going on I rushed over and clapped my hands, standing up and walking to Jiang Qiyun's side.

"Has the underworld been busy lately" I whispered.

Jiang Qiyun shook his head. "It's not that, but this sudden outbreak of a deadly disease will cause panic. Even the underworld felt it."

"Will a lot of people die" I said, feeling uneasy. "Can we help"

"The Plague Messenger is also baffled right now. Logically, with peace in the human realm, there shouldn't be an outbreak... Perhaps it's man-made." Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "Human affairs are for humans to solve. This deity only needs to take care of the underworld... Also, we need to be wary of demons entering the world."

This is when cultivators who specialize in demonic energy love to gather.

"What did you say to him And for so long" Jiang Qiyun stared at me, her tone unfriendly.

"Huh He asked me to keep an eye on someone for him and inquired if we could use the Underworld's power, like sending over some Yin soldiers or something..." I took out that business card, flipped it over, and double-checked the address and name.

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "It's a critical time now. The Underworld forces are barely over 50,000, and the living Yin messengers in the mortal world can't act. We're short-handed."

Yes, over 50,000 sounds like a lot, but considering the size of our country, you realize just how overworked those entry-level civil servants in the underworld must be.

"Well..." I agreed. There's no point in backing out now, is there

"Where's your fox demon soul" Jiang Qiyun glared at me.

I patted my head, that's right! Isn't there still help

"Well, the Underworld is so busy, why are you still here with me" I took Lan Xi from his hand.

Then Lan Xi refused to leave him, grabbing onto Jiang Qiyun's hair and refusing to let go.

"Why don't you take Lan Xi to the Imperial Court" I said with a wicked smile. "I'll take two, you take one, how does that sound fair"

Jiang Qiyun glared at me: "Bai Wuchang is practically nowhere to be seen these days. The Heavenly Emperor's Palace is overflowing with work. If I were to take him to the Underworld, I could only leave him in Yin Jingtian Palace. Are you sure"

I'm deflated. The Yinjing Heavenly Palace is so high up, and Lan Xi is such a worrywart. If she gets hurt, it'll be a headache.

"Forget it... I'd better stay at the Shen residence."

Jiang Qiyun leaned close to my face and whispered, "Mu Xiaqiao, don't be ungrateful... I've invited celestial immortals from the heavens, nine-day dragon gods, and even revered deity attendants to Shen Manor for you. You are safe here. I've put so much effort into protecting you. Why do you blame me for not bringing a few little things"

He leaned in so close, his cool breath brushing against my nose, and my face flushed. being detained for questioning and forced detoxification.He frowned and nodded, "But the layout of this building is like this all over. Why isn't there a problem with other people's houses""Because y...
