the situation. The butler of the Shen family listened anxiously, looking at me: "I'm truly sorry, Master. While you were navigating the Imperial Capital, we stepped into someone's trap... We held you...This thought kept me up all day, until nightfall. I washed the dishes and told my brother I was going out to buy something.

My brother is playing King of Glory. As soon as he heard I was going out, he looked up and said: "Little ancestor, you've been running into bad luck every time you go out recently. You'd better not go. If there's anything you need, just tell me and I'll buy it for you."

"I'm just going to the drugstore on the corner." I told him honestly.

My older brother is really smart. He immediately reacted and asked, "Buying medicine"

I picked up a compass and prepared to smash it.

"Haha, I guessed it, did I get it right"

"No!"

"What are you buying You're already pregnant with his child, why do you need medicine Besides, things humans use ghosts can't use. Go to a specialized store in the Ghost City of Yin Mountain."

I widened my eyes: "What kind of specialty store There are actually stores that sell this!"

"Nonsense, you think we're the only ones dealing with this There are tons of people messing with the underworld. I'll get you some backup next time."

He said it casually, but I was struck by it.

I never imagined this circle had so many unbelievable things. Living people are treated as ghosts, and there's even a dedicated ghost market where they trade! There are even stores that specialize in condoms for the dead!

I quietly told the salesperson at the drugstore that I wanted to buy a pregnancy test. The salesperson immediately shoved a box into my hand: "Who uses pregnancy tests these days Just use a pregnancy stick! It's more convenient, fast, and safe and hygienic."

She had such a loud voice, she startled me into scanning and paying quickly.

I went home, showered, and used it according to the instructions. I then returned to my room and waited for the results.

My brother shouted from downstairs, "Xiao Qiao! Come down and answer the phone! Grandpa wants to talk to you!"

Grandfather I'm a little uncomfortable with him. Although he's a kind and respected patriarch, it's because of him that our family constantly deals with ghosts and spirits.

The attic cellar was actually an emptied tomb, and he used the things inside to support his family and sustain life during the war years.

To this day, hundreds of family members are still engaged in this line of work. Each one has become indifferent to life and death, with cold hearts and a disregard for human emotions.

Grandpa asked about my well-being over the phone, including how I was feeling physically and if anything felt unusual.

I'm not comfortable talking about this with him, so I just said it was fine.

He suddenly reminded me, "I heard Cheng Su say that the criminal investigation team had several murder cases in the past two days. He was in charge of dissecting the bodies. The official said they died from natural causes, but he said it was related to sorcery. You two are young, be careful when receiving and delivering goods, don't touch these evil objects."

As soon as the grandpa mentioned sorcery, I immediately thought of that hooligan bronze statue that Hou Shaowen had commissioned. Wasn't it what a sorcerer wanted to use Jiang Qiyun had also given two words at the time: deviant path.

I told my grandfather about this, and when he heard it, his tone became very serious: "If this monk knows that the bronze statue came from you, he will definitely come after you. Remember to never help him find goods, nor sell anything to him! Tantric Buddhism is different from our Taoism and we have nothing to do with each other! And this is sorcery, don't get involved!"

"Yes." I nodded, looking at my brother. My brother pouted and replied in a low voice.

After hanging up the phone, I told my brother, "Brother, I know you want to save money for Dad, but some eerie things are best left untouched...I'm really scared."

My brother's personality is reckless and fearless. He's not afraid of anything himself, but when he heard me say that, he nodded seriously and said, "Okay, if you're scared, we won't do it. We'll just mess around with antiques."

I returned to the room and as soon as I opened the door, I saw Jiang Qiyun standing by the desk. He was holding a pregnancy test in his hand and looking at it.

"Hey! How dare you touch my stuff!" I blushed and walked over, grabbing the pen from him. I sneakily glanced at it.

Scarlet, with two bars.

You win for sure.

"What is this" Jiang Qiyun asked seriously.

“Test… pregnancy test…” I hastily tossed it into the trash. It had only been half a month, and my life had already turned upside down.

What should I do…

I irritably scratched my head, though I had agreed to this under Jiang Qiyun's pressure at the time.

But now that I think about it, this isn't easy. It takes a lot of planning beforehand.

Jiang Qiyun saw me pressing my phone, and asked, "Why bother verifying The ring appearing with the dragon is the best evidence."

“Just plant the seeds, you don’t have to worry about anything else!” I snapped back. “I have to figure out when to take leave and apply for a leave of absence! Am I supposed to go to school with a big belly and be ridiculed by everyone”

The bed beside me sank gently, his big hand holding my face: "What Are you ashamed to be carrying my child"

I smiled, “How could that be This is the grace of Lord Mingjun, I should be grateful. But there are worldly customs in the mortal realm, and how people see me, I can only bear it.”

Jiang Qiyun squinted his eyes, that's how he looks when he's angry, I'm kind of immune to it by now.

The next day at school, Song Wei hugged me tightly and whispered that her brother was reacting now. They were renting a house outside with the whole family and planning to either tear down their old home and rebuild or sell the land.

I laughed and said, “Luckily you’re a smart and obedient person.”

"That's a must! Handsome guys and good friends' words must be listened to! Well, Xiao Qiao, you seem even prettier. It must be the nourishment of love hahaha! Oh my!"

I slapped her on the back of the head, she stuck out her tongue and said she was going shopping. Shopping! Last time that little brat ghost scared me half to death, I'm not going anywhere near there.

When I was heading home, a flashy sports car was parked in front of my family's shop. Hou Shaowen that fellow is here again!

I rushed into the shop, my brother was talking to him: "Young Master Hou, I really don't have what you're asking for. Besides, I'm young and don't have any special channels, I'm afraid I can't help you."

Hou Shaowen couldn't hide his disappointment, politely said a few words, and then left first.

"The wizard he asked definitely has problems, actually calling him here to our place looking for genuine artifacts again. This time it's an eight-sided glazed bronze pagoda, this family doesn't have one." My brother shook his head.

I thought everything was fine after sending the guest away, but that night, my house was robbed.

I was sleeping soundly when suddenly I felt a tightness in my waist. My whole body was pulled back, and my back hit a cold, hard chest.

I was dazed and confused, Jiang Qiyun sleeping behind me

He squeezed my jaw hard and said, "Wake up!"

"Wh-what's wrong..." I was dumbfounded.

"There's a noise downstairs!" He rolled over, stood up, and looked out the window.

I reached for my phone to call my brother and warn him, but just as I picked it up, I heard a noise coming from downstairs.

"Jiang Qiyun pulled open the door to go and see. I reminded him, 'Don't scare the little thief to death, alright If word gets out that our house is haunted, we won't be able to do business anymore.'"

My brother’s voice boomed from downstairs: "Damn it, you've come to my house! I'll break your legs!" Wait Brother-in-law, are you here Perfect, I'll kill him, and you can help me settle his accounts in the underworld!

I couldn't help but facepalm. My brother is so bold, he called Jiang Qiyun "brother-in-law"!

Who knew Jiang Qiyun would actually answer with a cold "good."nd to throw it around could cause an epidemic." Ninth Senior Brother said worriedly."Grab a garbage bag, put it on, and put it in the trunk. Leave an air vent. Hurry home."My heart pounded, and I look...
