ed. There was a lawn and a rockery in the courtyard, and a white-haired old man was feeding fish."Dad, someone's looking for you!" the middle-aged woman shouted to the old man.A gray-haired old man tu...The shop door was already closed, and I couldn't escape onto the street. He blocked the way to the back yard as well.

"Dad, Dad! Calm down!" I was scrambling around the store for something to ward off evil spirits.

On the tray of Five Emperors coins, I grabbed a handful and scattered them. The coins clinked and clacked as they landed on the ground. In that instant, I saw my father's eyes change.

"Xiao Qiao, run!" I heard my dad cry out in pain.

I want to escape, but the person in front of me is my father. If I could, I would save him—but I don't understand the way of exorcism. No one has ever taught me how to ward off evil spirits.

The counter was ransacked. To be honest, most of the stuff sold in antique shops is fake anyway—who would have that many genuine pieces

I couldn't tell what was real or not, so I just started throwing things randomly. My dad suddenly let out a creepy "桀桀桀" laugh.

"Little Qiao... be good... come, let me spoil you..." That raspy male voice appeared again, a large hand reaching over the counter towards me.

I instinctively raised my hand to block, and the blood jade ring on my right hand suddenly burst with light. My vision turned crimson.

It was just a moment! When I looked at my dad again, he was lying face up on the floor!

"Dad!" I rushed over and hugged my father, his shirt on his back ripped by the massive force.

A pair of evil, cross-eyed stares glared at me from the gap in his clothes.

"桀桀桀……The spirit fetus has been formed……桀桀桀, he's quite fast……Little Qiao……you are mine……how can you give birth to his child——"

That blood-red ghost mask on my dad's back grinned ferociously, as if it wanted to burst out of his body, but was held back by some unseen force.

My hands are trembling, and laughter from passersby can be heard outside the shop.

A door away, the outside world was bathed in beautiful spring sunshine.

But darkness and fear surround me.

"Mu Xia Qiao... Mu Xia Qiao..." That ghostly face mumbled my name hoarsely, over and over again.

"Shut up!" I blurted out, a faint red glow emanating from the ring on my finger.

"桀桀桀……” His laughter gradually faded, disappearing under the pressure of the red light.

The ghostly look on my dad's back has disappeared again.

》》》

Didn't that ugly ghost husband say I was his ghostly wife I thought so too, but why is this red-faced ghost saying I'm his wife

I looked at the flat, rectangular jade ring on my finger. It was a very old-fashioned style.

Originally, it was a deep red, like congealed blood, but now it glowed with warmth. Inside, the blood clots had solidified into an ancient totem.

The dragon head curls into clouds, its body like a curved water droplet, four claws open and upward. Its figure is lively and flexible, with a hint of rising momentum.

My brother took a magnifying glass used for viewing antiques and carefully examined the ring on my finger.

"This is a Red Chi," he said.

"What"

“That's the female dragon. The second son of the Dragon is the Chimera, and Chi is the female dragon.” My brother simply explained: "Your ghost husband gave you this thing for a reason... Today just dispels that ghost face"

I nodded and asked, "What happened to you and my dad"

My brother silently shook his head. "Dad doesn't let me say, he doesn't want you to know about these things."

He then forced a smile and said, "Xiao Qiao, you actually agreed to carry your husband's child It seems like you two are very harmonious..."

Harmony

This word is really ridiculous.

When I didn't know his purpose, he tormented me day after day until I fainted. After knowing his purpose, I fell silent, as if we were in a transaction. He seemed unwilling even to touch me.

Of course, it's better if he doesn't touch me.

I've endured his violent actions to the point where my legs are beyond crippled, every step I take is a struggle against unbearable pain.

Now, my dad is like this again...

I couldn't help but cry.

Mu family, tomb family.

"Xiao Qiao... Was it your ghost husband who bullied you" my brother asked.

I nodded, hesitating to tell my brother about what happened this evening.

My brother furrowed his brows and said, "We couldn't get close to your door at all. When he arrived, your entire room was shielded by a magical barrier."

"Besides, I'm just a half-pint too. I can't deal with him. Besides, you two have a blood pact—it's your business, even if you go to court in hell no one will help you…" My brother thought for a moment, patted his head and said, "But I have something that might be able to help you, grass! How come I didn't think of this before!"

He rushed upstairs and then shoved two small squares into my hand.

"What is this" I flipped it over, and there were a few small words on the back — XXX Lubricant.

I blushed instantly.

"Don't be shy, you're the one suffering. Look at you, you've been walking with a tremble these past few days. If your XX feels burning hot, it means it's not moist enough inside... It goes without saying, having any kind of romance with a scowling monster is out of the question!"

"Don't just grit your teeth and bear it, if you feel uncomfortable tell me right away. If your urination is painful, that's urethritis, you need to take three gold pills immediately—"

"You know how to use lubricant, right Either on your XX or his XX —

"Bro, enough!"

My brother, being a doctor, talks about the human body structure as naturally as if he were discussing the weather.

Look at my face, as red as a tomato! My brother burst into laughter and said: "I'm going upstairs to take care of Dad. He should know about his own health problems by now. Let's discuss what to do."

》》》

My brother has those little packets of lube, which means he must be experienced—he's twenty-two, handsome, and rich. Even though he's a confirmed bachelor, he definitely has some partners.

As midnight approached, the time to "complete the mission" was drawing near again. I hesitated, tearing open a small square...

As I was hesitating whether or not to put it on, that hideous fiend of a husband appeared.

I don't know if it's my imagination, but I feel his figure becoming clearer and clearer. At first, I thought his body was cold and hard, but now... he's starting to look more and more like a real person.

He looked at the ring on my hand and murmured, "It's almost time."

What's up

He leaned in, silent as always, preparing to begin his task. I hastily whispered, "Wait, wait a minute..."

My scalp went numb, and I gritted my teeth, saying, “You... don't move..."a. To have it destroyed by his own hand was something he found hard to accept.But providence works in mysterious ways.The former shaman king allowed the corpse refiners to stay, and the corpse refiner...
