Soul, ah!

I just want to eat some snacks!I cannot submit to this. What if I can't eat afterwardsThis female gu is too willful!I had one leg lifted by my ninth senior brother, my center of gravity shifted, and t...It's truly fate, as if heaven itself has orchestrated this! He came to me just like that.

With this powerful figure backing him, even if Mr. Lin initially disagreed, he wouldn't be too stubborn and there would always be room for negotiation.

I nodded quickly and said, "Okay! Where is the place How many people are there What was their situation in life! I'll go help you with the memorial service tonight!"

"You" the old man looked at me and said, "Although you are a special consultant, can you do the job I heard that women have heavy Yin Qi, so there are rarely women in this line of work."

Nonsense, of course I'm going! My brother is changing his identity now and wants to stay away from this kind of thing.

"Are you going tonight Isn't that a bit rushed If you're ready, I'll have a plane take you there." The old man seemed to think I was joking.

I smiled and said, “You can rest assured, if I couldn't do it, I wouldn't have agreed so readily.”

"Alright then, how much will it cost You all do this for money, right I heard that dealing with the Yin-Yang Society can harm oneself, there are things like five misfortunes and three deficiencies." The old man asked very directly.

The "Five Evils" refer to widowhood, loneliness, orphanage, disability and the elderly being alone. The "Three Deficiencies" refer to a lack of money, power, and life (meaning health or longevity).

People who usually work in the yin and yang profession leak heavenly secrets, and there will inevitably be five shortcomings and three deficiencies in their life as retribution from heaven.

I didn't expect Grandpa to understand this either.

I shook my head and said, "It's okay. Sending blessings to the deceased is a good deed that accumulates merit. I rarely charge for my work anyway, mostly depending on fate and connection."

The old man's expression softened a little, and he nodded with a smile: "Listening to you speak, you are indeed different from your peers. I hope you really have the ability... Then it's settled. When you solve this matter, if you need my help, just say so!"

This isn't easy, I'm worried about finding someone suitable to propose to. This gentleman is not only high-ranking and powerful, but he also has a personal connection with Mr. Lin's father. It couldn't be better!

That evening when Jiang Qiyun came back, I immediately smiled and greeted him.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, “ ... What are you doing Why are you laughing so nervously”

"Can't you just pretend you didn't see it" I said, amused and exasperated.

"Hmph... You think you can hide this little scheme from me Come on, what is it" He leaned down and hugged the two children, then straightened up to look at me.

I will report on today's events one by one, and then say that I am going to perform a ritual for the souls who died decades ago.

Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "That old man No wonder he's not afraid of that ominous aura..."

"What's the story behind this" I asked curiously.

"Of course, once someone is infused with killing intent, unless they encounter a ghost far more powerful than them who is unafraid, ordinary ghosts, especially the newly deceased ones, will sense that aura of death and fear it."

Moreover, the people within official doors, those involved in killing and war, carry a potent aura bestowed by the ancestral temple and nation. This aura disperses the yin and gloomy energy… From ancient times to now, have you heard of ghosts haunting palaces But have you ever heard of ghosts haunting military camps There are almost none. Even places of bloodshed become haunted only after many years when the killing aura dissipates and yin energy begins to gather.

I nodded repeatedly, taking Jiang Qiyun's sleeve and saying, "You're right, so you must go with me!"

Jiang Qiyun looked at his own sleeve and raised an eyebrow at me: "Is that all you ask of me"

Well... how about we just sway a bit

He looked at me, waving my arms, and let out a soft chuckle, as if mocking my pathetic attempt at being cute.

"...Honey" He liked to hear that.

But now it doesn't work as well anymore... Before, when I would tease him, occasionally calling him "husband," he would be in a good mood. Now, he's always in a good mood, and the power of that term has greatly diminished.

It's still a good idea to stir things up a bit.

"Then how are you going to help me" I pouted. "Just say it!"

"Sounds good~~" Jiang Qiyun suddenly reached out and lifted my chin, his cool fingers rubbing my lips.

What does he want to do

He leaned in slightly, his head bowing as he drew closer to me.

Foreheads touching, noses brushing lightly, a faint scent lingering between their lips.

“Starting tonight, for the next seven days, you will stay with me in the Pure Land of Bliss. You mustn't worry about worldly affairs, can you do that”

The voice held a certain coldness, laced with an unusual ambiguity.

Go to the Pure Land of Bliss for seven days... What else can you do It's just that, that thing...

I shrank my neck and asked, "Seven days What about the baby"

"There will be people taking care of things. Your family is here, as are the Crimson and Ink cloaks. Quan Heng will be watching over you too, and even Xiao Hu can guard the door... You don't have to worry." He replied in a low voice.

"Then you'll have to go to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace during the day, and I'll be alone—"

"You will come with me, for these seven days I will not be parted from you." His voice was cold and serious.

I...

"Well, well... he's not coming back for seven days Then I'm hungry and thirsty. You cook!"

"Humph… You won't starve. I'll feed you…"

Pfffffff!!!

You—

This is... a long-awaited foul mood!

"Mu Xiaoqiao."

Jiang Qiyun stared at me with a heavy gaze, his eyes, like deep abysses, reflecting my own.

"You must begin to accustom yourself, gradually accustom yourself... to the boundless and unending vastness, to the companionship of sun, moon, and stars. You will ultimately have to face such a world—"

"Except in my arms, you have nowhere to run."

Nowhere to escape.

My heart was beating rapidly.

I have some fear of such loneliness.

Lonely He'll be with me, won't he And the children...it should be alright, right

"I understand..."

Hearing my answer, Jiang Qiyun smiled faintly and pinched my cheek, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

I nodded, took a sniff, and suppressed the bittersweet and complex emotions that surged within me. To Jiang Qiyun, I said: "Then I agree to you, but you also have to accompany me to—"

"Okay, where to"

"The border, let me check the satellite map..."

That old man (big shot) gave me a very precise address. Jiang Qiyun brought me to a mountainside, halfway up the slope, where there was a protruding platform.

The surroundings were desolate mountains and barren wilderness. The air was damp and heavy, permeated with the stench of decaying branches and leaves.

Decades ago, there was a war here. Due to the limited conditions at the time, many wounded soldiers were tormented by pain in field hospitals. The damp and hot environment caused wounds to quickly become inflamed and suppurative, ultimately leading to ineffective treatment.

So at that time, some soldiers would rather die than drag their comrades down.

The old man said, during the battle for this place, a company commander of an assault unit was wounded and used by the enemy to set up a trap, killing over a dozen hot-blooded warriors. In the end, the company commander took his own life to stop his comrades from continuing to sacrifice themselves.

I sniffed, my eyes welling up at such a heroic feat.

Respect also encompasses honoring the martyrs. Holding a soul summoning talisman and reciting the Five Elements Fire incantation to activate it.

The flickering flames reduced the talisman to ashes.

"Soul, return..."ung by a scorpion that appeared suddenly on her hand. She is very clever."What's the matter Trying to act like you don't know me" The junior wife frowned. "I'm not interested in your grievances, I jus...
