i represents the South. Because the South is the position of the sun at noon, it belongs to yang. Moreover, among the four images, the South belongs to the fire of Bing Ding, guarded by Suzaku, so in...I saw the woman who walked into my shop, it was Lily.

How did she even get here My brother and I exchanged glances, raising our guard.

What is her connection to Situ Lin and that monster wearing Mu Yunliang's skin What does she want from me now

Lily seems to have lost some weight recently. She was already slender, but now she's so light that she could fall over with just a gust of wind.

I don't know if it's psychological, but I feel like she only appears before me for a reason. Last time Mu Yunliang said he wanted to extract half of my soul from my womb, he vanished in panic and hasn't reappeared since. But Lili often appears before me. I wonder if she's acting as Mu Yunliang's eyes and ears.

"Who are you" my brother pretended not to know.

"I'm Xiao Qiao's classmate," she looked at me and asked with concern, "Xiao Qiao, are you sick"

I nodded, watching her to see what she wanted to say.

“Well then… I still want to ask you some questions. Would it be alright if we spoke privately for a few minutes” Lily looked at me eagerly.

I winked at my brother, and he got up and walked outside the stall to chat with Old Chen.

"What do you want to ask Are you trying to dig up some embarrassing stories about Mu Yunliang again I really don't know... Even though he's a relative, I haven't interacted with him much." I mumbled.

Li Li gave a smile, one that was a little strained: "...I wanted to ask you, your family seems to have a deep connection with Taoism and Feng Shui. Do you have anything that wards off or drives away evil spirits..."

Uh The biggest evil around you is Mu Yunliang who sleeps with you, right

I recalled Lily's previous strange actions involving raising ghosts, and I asked calmly, "Shouldn't Mu Yunliang also understand these things Why don't you ask him directly"

Lily looked at me with a resentful expression, her eyes gradually turning red: "He went back to school. You know he studies in the neighboring city... I feel like he doesn't care much about me anymore. Maybe he has someone new."

A new flame More like a new victim.

Looking at Lili's appearance, I couldn't help but ask: "Lili, you are so good-looking and have such great conditions. Why do you like Mu Yunliang I haven't noticed what's so great about him. Although he's handsome, his family background is far inferior to yours compared to yours How could you..."

Lili forced a smile and said, "I met him on a dating app. I only found out later that you were related... He's very charming, especially when we're together—"

As she spoke, she gazed at him with a vacant stare, and her pallid face flushed crimson, creating a strange and unsettling spectacle.

Merging with a ghoul requires the connection of a soul union, and if Yin energy enters the body, it can cause a mild fever at best, and severe depletion of yang qi and life force at worst. So what would be the consequences for Lily, merging with a corpse wearing human skin

After my first night with Jiang Qiyun, I had a high fever and fell seriously ill. I don't know if it was fear or evil spirits that entered my body, but after that, even if Jiang Qiyun tormented me terribly, I didn't fade like Lili, becoming bloodless and vacant-eyed.

"Xiao Qiao, you know, he's the best man I've ever met," LiLi's eyes held a kind of infatuation that was hard to describe.

She said in an almost manic tone, "I feel so comfortable with him. I've had a few boyfriends before, but none of them made me feel like I was about to die on the bed. He really understands me. I've never done anything oral for my boyfriends before, but with him... I'm willing to do anything, even swallow his things!"

I stared at her in terror. Regardless of whether Mu Yunliang was a corpse or not, a woman's obsession with a man to this extent was already insane.

If it were lovey-dovey, then what happened under the sheets would be a private affair, a matter of ambiance. But Lily now seems like a head caught in quicksand.

"Lili...aren't you being too extreme Two people together need to trust and understand each other, it's not just about physical compatibility...Mu Yunliang, he..." I didn't know how to say it. In her current state, if I said Mu Yunliang was using her, she wouldn't believe me.

“He… he’s very good to me, it’s just that he’s a little ambiguous, making me uneasy… I can’t leave him! Xiao Qiao, if you see him, could you ask him to spend more time with me I’m willing to do anything! Whatever he wants to do with me is fine! I don’t mind swallowing his…”

"That's enough!" My scalp was about to explode. Lili's pale face had an increasingly strange flush, like a mix of shyness and uncontrollable excitement.

I took a deep breath, forcing down the nausea rising in my chest—did Mu Yunliang even have normal sperm He wasn't alive or a ghost, so could it be corpse water

"...If I see Mu Yunliang, I will tell him."

Lily smiled, lowering her eyes to look at her fingers, muttering to herself: "What's so amazing about this It's just swallowing X, he could even pee in my mouth and I wouldn't care..."

Have you gone crazy This person is insane.

What exactly did that monster do to her Why is she not normal from head to toe

Lily blankly raised her head and looked at me, saying: "Ah... I almost forgot why I came to find you... What did I want to do Let me think..."

I watched her strange behavior and couldn't help but remind her, "You just asked if my house had any items for warding off evil spirits."

"Ah! Yes, yes... Money isn't a problem. I want the most effective, most powerful one!" Lily's eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

She was so infatuated with Mu Yunliang, this thing for warding off evil spirits definitely wasn't used on him.

" … What happened Tell me, and I'll know what you need." I tried to get her to open up.

She hesitated for a moment, glancing at me. “Yunliang isn’t here, or he would definitely be able to tell me what to do… I’m really out of options, that’s why I remembered you guys are relatives and you might understand…”

Lily's father is the deputy mayor. He must have unique methods and background to get to this position. A while ago, her father was summoned by the Discipline Inspection Commission, and the family has been living in fear ever since. Mu Yunliang told her that she could try raising a little ghost for good fortune.

After being introduced by Mu Yunliang, she invited a little ghost home. Every day, she talked to the ghost, gave it snacks and toys at home, left an empty seat and set of tableware for it during meals, poured tea for it, placed food in its bowl, and talked to herself facing the air...

Later, his father came back, furious. He said he had offended the Lin family and that was why he was being investigated by the Discipline Inspection Commission. He estimated that the outcome wouldn't be good, so he told the family to prepare money as quickly as possible because this prison sentence couldn't be escaped.

Lili was filled with resentment and hoped the little ghost would take revenge on the Lin family. But gradually, she found that the little ghost became increasingly disobedient, and there were often sounds of scratching walls coming from the room where it was kept...pened, you'd abandon your wife again..."Mu Wanchen took my hand, his thumb lightly brushing over my knuckles. He said softly, "How is that possible When you weren't here, I kept looking back for you,...
