For a moment, I felt two hot things splashing into my eyes. The pain was so intense that I couldn't open them.

Is this blood Is it my brother's blood

"Brother! Brother!" My brother rolled down the field ridge, and I scrambled over to him.

He didn't react, I held him, but he didn't react!

"Little girl, just come with us obediently, we don't want to hurt you!" the skinny man said viciously.

The little man crept up beside me, “You, girl, are extraordinary. What’s in your belly We’re experts at crafting infant corpses. A powerful corpse like this, when refined, would be a Corpse King! Just come with us quietly! Give us the baby, and we'll spare your life!”

These two corpse collectors had sinister expressions and greedy, bloodthirsty eyes.

My first reaction was to call for Jiang Qiyun, but I... didn't want him to add more karmic burden.

"You, a little delicate thing like that, should just give up resisting. Be good, and we won't break your arms and legs!" The dwarf walked towards me step by step.

I put my brother down on the ground and reached into my satchel to grasp the small compass.

They had the upper hand, and I stood up and backed away. The skinny one immediately blocked my retreat, sneering, "Little girl, don't resist in this situation. You're so beautiful, resisting only makes men more savage."

The dwarf was taken aback, then sneered: "You're the only one who understands me. When I saw this little girl just now, I wanted to strip her naked and tie her up to take away. Our journey back wouldn't be so boring."

The thin man, Hehe, let out a dry chuckle. He reached out and grabbed my wrist. As he pulled me closer, I used his strength to grip the compass and quickly swung it upwards—

The sharp edge sliced across his neck, sending a spray of blood flying.

He gasped, let go of me and retreated a few steps, immediately raising his hand to cover his neck and shouted: “Be careful! She has something in her hand!”

Too light, still too light...

Even if I wanted to hurt someone, I don't have enough strength.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly murmured the familiar mantra.

The Classic of the Treasures of Fengdu.

With sincere heart, I prostrate myself in homage... Great Compassion, Great Mercy, Great Saint, Great Compassionate One, Xuanqing the Great Emperor, Heaven Venerable of Jiuyu who removes sins.

The adorable little imp clutched his chains and appeared beside me with his partner. Their outfits seemed to have changed a bit.

"Hee hee... Little Empress, we got promoted! Thank you so much for taking care of us, we caught several powerful things!" The adorable little imp giggled and said to me.

I wryly smiled and said, “I’m truly sorry, I might cause you to be demoted…”

"Huh" the little clerk tilted his head to look at me.

I pointed at the two people in front of me: "Lock their souls and take them away."

The little ghost's smile gradually faded, and he reminded the young lady cautiously: "Young mistress, this is... a living person... Forcibly seizing a soul is... a violation of the laws of the underworld..."

I glanced at my brother. The two drops of blood that had splashed into my eyes just now burned, sending a surge of rage through me.

There is one person in this world, and only one, who shares my bloodline completely.

No one has ever been so close to me.

Hurting my brother is unforgivable, just like hurting the baby in my womb.

I closed my eyes slightly, my voice trembling, but my tone was unmistakable.

"Take it."

"All sins are mine."

》》》

"Hiss..." My brother opened his eyes, frowning.

I've already treated his wounds with the first aid kit in my car, and now I'm holding him in the back seat.

"Hey, brother, don't move. You have a cut on your head and you just fainted. You might have a concussion. Do you feel like throwing up" I held his head and let him lie down on my lap.

My brother's eyes were dazed for a moment, and suddenly he asked: "Xiao Qiao, where are we"

"Huh In the car"

"In the car... Holy crap, who's driving! How is this thing moving! Those two punks are going to kidnap us!" He sat bolt upright.

The cute little errand boys turned around from the front and smiled foolishly: "Brother, hello."

My brother's face froze for thirty seconds, then roars erupted from inside the car —

"Go to hell, you bastard! Who the hell are you my brother! Get this damn thing stopped!"

"Xiao Qiao, are you stupid! How could you let a ghost drive! Ghosts see things differently from us! A ghost-driven car is called a hearse!! Where the hell did this thing take us!"

The car was parked by a dried-up riverbed.

My brother was squatting on the ground, dejected and mumbling to himself: "Damn it, I almost died. Thank God I woke up in time..."

The little imp couldn't help but get excited, rubbing his hands together: "Young mistress, this is my first time driving a car in the Yang Realm. This feels so much better than the spirit carriage!"

I stared at him in disbelief. This guy just volunteered to drive, and I actually believed him! What was I thinking

This is all going into the river, isn't it!

The way a ghost walks is different from the way a person walks.

"Come on, Xiaoqiao, we'll be fine. After a tribulation like this, good fortune will follow. Let me drive... Damn it, I hope the undercarriage isn't ruined..." My brother sighed helplessly.

The little ghost sank dejectedly into the back seat, "It's too heavy with negative energy here. We should stay with Little Miss, just in case something nasty comes flying around."

"You two act like you're so amazing, scared of even a ghost and still pretending to protect me" I snorted.

"Hee hee, if Little Empress brings us a few more ghosts, we'll get a raise!" the little demon rubbed his hands together.

"Come on, are you trying to show off in front of Jiang Qiyun" My brother scoffed.

He never asked me about the two corpse-runners. In that situation, the only countermeasure I could summon as a small ghost rider was to forcibly seize living souls.

The two now lay prone in the field overgrown with weeds, that patch now augmented by two more corpses.

My brother should be able to guess, but he didn't ask anything.

The little devil took a detour, although the general direction was correct, it led us into a ravine, straying from the main road.

Jiang Qiyun asked us to wait for him in Huangdao Village. My brother didn't want to go alone, so he planned to drive back to the normal mountain road and stop there.

"You guys go back first, we'll be here waiting for the big leader." My brother sent those two little errand boys away.

"Why are you chasing them away" I asked curiously, with two little imps chattering amongst themselves.

"The negative energy is too strong, it feels even heavier around them. I'm going down to pay respects to the land god… It's really hard being in this place." My brother took a pile of paper money out of the car.

I followed him a few steps along the mountain path. There was a niche in the mountain wall, with a small brick wall inside enclosing a dilapidated statue of earth. There was incense ash and wax oil around it, it seemed like passersby would pay respects to him.

My brother had just lit the paper money when a gust of cold wind suddenly whipped up out of nowhere.wards her, bouncing off a pillar, and pounced.Heaven, I can't really kill her!
