To know a word is to works

Repay one's gratitude

    

surrounding women."He was so angry his teeth were grinding, suspecting that even my mom had her life force sucked away when she came to live in the old house. As for me, I've lived in the old house si..."Brother, we're afraid you won't be able to handle it." Lin Yanqin said softly: "I didn't expect Qi Ke Xin to be like this now...uh, scary..."

She said it was terrifying, but her eyes betrayed her excitement. This was the first time she'd seen such a strange "person" up close.

I feel a bit sorry for my brother. He always wanted Lin Yanqin to stay away from these things, but she's just so interested in the strange and creepy.

Lin Yanhuan adjusted her sleeves, pressed the hidden transmitter on her cufflink, and said in a soft voice, "How could I possibly hold back What do you take me for"

I stole a glance at Lin Yanhuan. There was not a trace of blush on his face, and his eyes were like a deep pool, utterly calm.

This way, let alone feeling moved emotionally, I wouldn't even have a physiological reaction.

Could his icy face really be that calm and rational

"Xiao Qiao, she can't die here. Although this is a private club, the security and surveillance are very tight. Once you leave the room, you will be monitored, so... it's best to keep her confined." Lin Yanhuan frowned and said to me.

I glanced at him, leave him alive Then what are you pulling out your gun for!

These two siblings are simply amazing…

In their eyes, my brother and I are probably the same. The only difference is that they wield guns while we carry talismans.

I cannot summon the underworld's executioners, they will not arrest this ghost princess. The talisman pasted on Qikxīn's forehead began to smoke and flicker without wind, as if it were about to burn away.

Does the Ghost Princess want to break free

If she really sheds her skin in front of Lin Yanhun, then she'll completely tear up the relationship. In that case, Qi KeXin will never be able to use this identity again.

"Zhu Weiti, we know what you've done. You've made a big mistake. We are secretly investigating and will soon find out about your involvement."

"At least ten lives are now tied to you. Your efforts are futile. What use is building a ghost city You think hiding in the Taoist scriptures will spare you from the underworld Four hundred years have passed, your fate is sealed—either imprisonment or annihilation. Lesser your karma." I pointed at her with the Purple Heaven如意.

Qi Ke Xin's cheeks were sunken, the ghost princess inside her was condensing her breath, preparing to escape.

Run.

She's inside Qi Ke Xin, we can't harm this walking corpse, or take the blame for nothing.

Lin Yanqin was a little afraid. She asked, "Xia Qiao, what should we do"

"Just put down your guns, I'll handle her." I pushed Lin Yanqin towards Lin Yanhuan, shielding them both.

A wisp of dark green gas seeped out of Qi Ke Xin's seven orifices, her body contorting like a marionette on strings.

I just need to seize the moment—

Zhu Weiti's head slowly condensed, hovering above Qike Xin's body: "Mu Xiaoqiao, with your level of cultivation, you can't catch me..."

She jerked back, escaping from Qi Ke Xin's body. I immediately opened the small wooden box – a truly versatile item, fortunate that Jiang Qi Yun had left one for me!

The incantation was chanted, the divine tiger summoned souls, Zhu Weiti's ghost qi was thick and imposing, even its roars couldn't dispel this oppressive darkness.

"Get out of here, you all get out!" I pushed Lin Yanhuan twice. He frowned and looked at me.

I didn't wait for him to speak, and anxiously shouted: "Every trade has its specialization. There will be a place for you later on. Go out first—"

He didn't hesitate this time, immediately pulling Lin Yanqin out of the room.

I pasted six talismans on the door frame and set up a double magical barrier to ward off evil spirits.

When Zhu Weiti's entire form was fully formed, the room was filled with a very aggressive ghostly aura. Over these years underground, she had gradually taken shape by absorbing the resentment of other ghosts. In front of Jiang Qiyun, she still pretended, but in front of me, she completely tore off her mask.

She has none of the princess's grace now. Her contorted features and furious aura make her look like a vengeful spirit who has been wallowing in malice for a hundred years.

The Purple Jade Ruyi is one of the divine artifacts of the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. At this time, it emitted a lustrous purple glow amidst the pervasive ghostly aura.

The treasure of immortals, the Qi of yang, can pierce through darkness and despair. Even I am bathed in its faint glow.

"Xiao Qiao, you..." Lin Yanqin's voice rang out behind me. I didn't need to turn around to feel her astonished gaze.

Zhu Weiti's jealousy was undisguised, her eyes seemed to want to swallow me alive.

"…"How wonderful, just opening your body to the god's union can achieve such magical power. How carefree and effortless! Why are you so lucky A daughter born into a bandit sand-mining family, you actually managed to hook up with a god... Hmph... The heavens are truly unfair..."

“Everyone has their own opportunities, and if it's unfair you can only envy, hate, and be jealous.” I raised my hand, the purple blade aimed at her: “You say my cultivation level is no match for yours Just right, I also want to try. This sword has shattered Corpse Demons, I wonder if it can shatter your incorrigible demonic nature.” I looked at her, the blade moved, and she dodged.

She still had some reservations.

I deliberately cornered her by the window. If she wanted to escape, this was her only option.

"Encircling nine and leaving one, this is a strategy."

This isn't a feigned kindness, but rather forcing the prey into only one path.

And this road, is the road to utter annihilation.

If she ran, all her contacts in the Imperial City would be rounded up. She'd only have one place left to go: that still-under-construction ghost city.

And there, Mu Wanchen was waiting for her.

Outside, Lin Yanhuan's communicator beeped softly. Lin Yanhuan opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qiao, speed—"

As soon as the words left her mouth, Zhu Weiti immediately dodged Zixiao Ruyi's attack and dashed towards the window!

I pursued her and struck with my sword. The purple electric glow cleaved through the bulletproof glass. While it appeared to be an assassination, in reality, I provided her with an escape route.

Zhu Weiti quickly drifted away from the broken window, her form a bit scattered, probably because there weren't enough ghosts around. As she fled in panic, she even turned back and sprayed me with a large cloud of black mist.

This guy! Is it an octopus

I glared at the ghostly energy staining my hands. If this were an ordinary person, their hand would likely have become stiff and useless.

"Ah! Qi Ke Xin she—" Lin Yanqin exclaimed.

Qi KeXin's shriveled corpse stiffened and stood up, startling Lin YanQin. Lin YanHuan's gun was also pointed at her.

"Don't shoot!" I quickly said to Lin Yanhuan.

"What's going on!" he looked at me in confusion.

I don't have time to explain in detail. Briefly, "This is a domesticated fox, here to repay its debt."d to me.Those who have different paths will not conspire with each other.But now, the word "wizard" is closely related to me, and I can't avoid it."Well... how do I ward off evil and stay safe" I tent...
