otect myself and my child, I have to become stronger. Becoming stronger is not something that happens overnight. Despite having many special accommodations, I still feel a tremor of fear and carefully...Before me stood a complete stranger.

“…I don’t know you.” I backed away a few steps, leaning against the car door.

The man tilted his head slightly, his movements a bit stiff. "I've only just met you... I checked twice..."

"Where have you seen me before"

The man let out a cold laugh: “Don’t you remember It's only been a few days.”

As he spoke, he seemed to habitually raise his hand to brush his hair back, a look of disdain still lingering on his brow.

This hair seems a bit too long, and upon closer inspection, it's freshly cut with some uneven ends.

Who are the long-haired men I've recently seen I quickly recall.

The other party scoffed, crossed their arms and looked at me with no urgency whatsoever.

He...wasn't looking for me Why separate me and my brother into two different spaces, and then waste my time talking to me afterwards

Could it be that this fellow has a big ego and likes to show off

"I've discovered, you need to pinch your fingers before doing anything... I just have to see your fingers move... and I'll make you... only your fingers will remain..."

The man chuckled sinisterly, threatening me word by word.

Only fingers remain...

"That granny at the crossroads, did you eat her" I stared at his mouth in horror.

“That kind of thing, who would eat it.” The other person glared at me with disgust.

This guy, he seems kind of tsundere.

"Crack..." a strange noise sounded behind me.

I subtly turned my head to glance back.

A creature with a fleshy growth, resembling a lizard, had somehow landed on the car hood. Its evil eyes widened and fixed on me, its spiky mouth opened in a hiss.

This is the monster lurking on Xiao Fo's body in Tangtang's garage!

“You… Who are you! Did you raise these monsters!”

"Raise them" The man frowned in disgust. "Those lowly creatures, I'd rather just stomp on them... but they're so weak, the easiest to slip out through cracks."

"Did you design the space in Tangtang's house Are you a monster possessing Tangtang's grandpa" I asked quickly.

The man was very impatient: "What nonsense are you talking about, sugar jars and whatnot... You woman, you're such a bother!"

"What! So you're coming to me for what! Your words are better than mine!"

He fixed his gaze on my left hand, raising an eyebrow and giving me a wicked smile. "Your hand heals rather quickly... the poison didn't seem to affect you at all"

How did he know I had been poisoned on my back of the hand

Fragments flashed through my mind—just the other day, I had returned from my uncle's hometown.

At the back of that valley where sinister Qi converged, in the cave tomb within the hillside mound, something happened to Zhou Laoyao.

When I was stung by a scorpion, the markings on Zhou Laoyao's body were "opened," and a strange voice spoke a few words.

And at first, he spoke rather stiffly, then quickly learned and after feeling Jiang Qiyun's aura, immediately incinerated Zhou Laoyao's body, then silently.

Next, my brother went to find the tied-up wild man—Zhou Jia Lao San's son. It was said that he had disappeared in the mountains a few years ago and was actually brought here to "guard the tomb," resulting in him becoming a crazy, out-of-it wild man.

But the rope was broken, and my brother didn't find him.

At that time, I was poisoned by a scorpion. Tears streamed down my face incessantly, and I had a fever that caused hallucinations. When Jiang Qiyun took me away, I vaguely saw a figure in the river…

“You are… the one from the Zhou family… that wild man” It dawned on me.

He chuckled evilly: "Ha, that body was filthy back then, I had to wash it in the water. But ~~ unexpectedly, I found out this body is pretty strong, at least I can use spells to deal with a few water ghosts…"

Nonsense! Can't a wild man be strong! If he wasn't strong, he would have starved to death long ago.

This man's body was indeed strong, with large bones to begin with. Coupled with his survival in the mountains and wilderness, he had become rough and sturdy through hardship.

His face is broad-foreheaded, with clear eyebrows and well-defined features. He looks quite normal.

His eyes were like a cluster of dark red fire, both evil and dangerous.

He took a step forward, and I jumped.

He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders: "Aren't you supposed to be good at this You're shaking like a rabbit."

"I, I'm afraid you might suddenly activate the markings on this body, and demons crawl out of the gate..." I procrastinated while frantically thinking of what to do.

—— Is this a living person Perhaps they've just been possessed, in which case we should be able to restrain their soul.

With sincerity……Take refuge……Pay respects……

In one hand, I held a jade Ruyi sceptre, my fingers twitching in the other—

"Ahh!!" The little monster on the car hood suddenly leaped onto my hand, opening its big mouth and biting down on my finger!

Those fine, closely set teeth, even if they couldn't bite through my bones, could still tear off my flesh!

Oof!

A surge of energy struck the little monster's belly, blasting it in two! All that was left were its gaping teeth dangling from my sleeve.

"Damn it, get out of my sight...Your task is to find Mu Xia Qiao," the man sneered while frowning at his hand—two fingers seemed broken.

He just blasted out a wave of energy, killing the little monster that was charging at me.

"Ordinary people's bodies are too fragile. They get hurt with just a bit of magic power... You better not make any attacking moves that force me to fight back, I don't want to keep damaging this body."

"You, you... what do you want from me" My heart pounded.

He raised an eyebrow, as if he wanted to continue teasing me —

"Little Empress! Wow—what bit you!"

>>

"Hurry! Hurry, help me—! Help me restrain this person's soul!"

These two little imps have been following me for days. Ah Meng immediately whipped out his chain, and Ah Da used a summoning talisman to knock the half-monster corpse I was holding onto the ground.

The chain was fastened around the man's neck, and then, then all that remained was a single tug—

I mutter incantations, the Purple Cloud Ruyi faintly glows.

He didn't even manage to draw his longsword.

This very second, it feels like an entire century has passed.

This man tilted his head, his face cold and his eyes blazing with a sudden surge of malice, turning a sinister crimson red.

The night behind him rippled like a lake disturbed by a pebble.

A fine line appeared on the top of his head.

A slender tongue, teeth like swords, no eyes, appeared with nary a warning, its maw agape.

"Waa…"

A piercing baby cry rang out.

I didn't even have time to blink! I watched in horror as the giant mouth appeared in an instant, snapping at the little demon who was chained up!!

"Run...run away!!! Ameng—"

I don't know how long I stood there, a second Two seconds

When I trembled and cried out, Ameng had already been bitten by that huge mouth!

With a hiss, green smoke billowed, and A Meng's arm tumbled out of the gaping maw.

Swallowed! A-Meng was swallowed!

Just like that old ghost grandma before, only one finger left!

My Amy, the one who always giggles and calls me "Little Empress" and "Eldest Brother," always trying to hitch a ride in my brother's car!

—Only one arm was left lying on the ground!

He was still clutching the soul-snatching rope!

"Ah, ah, ah..."

My whole body was shaking, so violently that I couldn't even hold onto my jade ornament.

The jade ruyi smashed onto the sandy ground, and the just-emitted sword aura dissipated.

The ghostly aura dissipated, and Ameng's arms and chains vanished.

Gone, gone, all gone...

"Ah-Da, hurry, run!" I shouted with all my might to Ah-Da, who was trembling like a sieve beside me.

Ah-da moved.

But he actually waved a summoning paper towards the man —
