Ghost said Ghost to

store 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 saf...Mu Wanchen's wound was originally a cavity, with all the blood vessels and meridians inside severed. It would take a long time to heal and leave obvious scars.

At this moment, his wound was like it was regenerating itself, like a flower bud retracting inward. The skin, flesh, and meridians were rapidly growing new tissue.

A lump of newly risen pink flesh filled the cavity, quickly merging with the surrounding skin.

"...How could the Great Shaman be an ordinary person You're thinking too simply." he said lightly.

"I think you're like a monster, a human weapon. You're so tall and mysterious."

He let out a scoff. “Normal For millennia, that’s how people have seen us.”

"May I ask a question" I cautiously looked at his profile.

"Ask."

"How long does a Great Witch King's lifespan usually last"

"Three to five hundred years, perhaps. It depends on one's cultivation." He replied lightly.

Three to five hundred years! Even immortals can't live that long, this is already the lifespan of a minor deity.

"Then what's the rush You still have plenty of time to refine Gu Wang!"

He shook his head and said, "Two generations of Grand Shaman before me failed to become the Gu King... It's been seven or eight hundred years since the last Gu King. This has almost broken the orthodox lineage of Gu cultivation. Only in the southwest and Southeast Asia are there many folk practices passed down."

"Then you should relax more! Anyway, the previous two generations haven't been able to complete it, this is a matter of luck, you're not trying hard enough..." I mumbled.

He silently shook his head.

Until I had reset his arm and was about to leave the room, he suddenly called out to me.

"Mu Xiaqiao, in your world, when do women get married"

"Huh!" I stammered, replying, "This matter... let me put it this way, nowadays the world is very tolerant and open. Women can even be with whomever they like without getting married, understand It means you can do whatever you want."

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

“Like me, I think it was too early for me to be involved with Jiang Qiyun at sixteen, and having a child now is also considered early. Everyone thinks I'm a poor, pitiful woman who has been deceived by a man, but in Jiang Qiyun’s view, having a child at sixteen is already late!” I smiled.

"Hmm."

"I've calculated your wife's birth date, she isn't very young. However, by worldly standards, she hasn't reached adulthood yet. You figure it out yourself. Everyone has their own karmic connections, I don't want to offer unsolicited advice."

"...Are you sure she's suitable for the Female Gu"

I sighed.

Heaven and earth, the Purple Palace of the Underworld.

Can anyone definitively determine a person's future

The two qi of yin and yang give birth to all things, but the human heart is the most difficult to fathom.

Even the most powerful gods wouldn't dare to speak definitively... And those all-knowing, all-powerful gods simply won't interfere in the trivial matters of the six realms.

"So...no one can be sure if she's a fit, I just found your wife's name and birthdate from the Book of Life."

The Book of Life and Death doesn't say whether she was suited to the female gu or not. Perhaps she was compatible at first, but later developed a rejection reaction Maybe she could have harbored the female gu, but met an untimely end due to other reasons

But since her name is linked to yours, you must have some connection. As for whether it can help you achieve your wish of becoming the Gu King... who can guarantee that

The more I spoke, the more silent Mu Wanchen became.

I think he seems to be getting more and more depressed every day.

When we first met, he was arrogant, wild, domineering, and a little bad. He liked to play the villain and scare me.

When I went back to the Wuzhuang Temple, I could tell he was downcast. He didn't seem interested in joking around with me anymore and even took revenge on me in a petty way.

He must have been deeply traumatized this time, I imagine the psychological blow was even greater.

"Mu Wanchen... either you be ruthless and don't think about it so much; or else you follow the proper process, let that woman accept you, fall in love with you, and be willing—"

He let out a cold laugh, interrupting me: “What would you have Mu Xia Qiao, who would accept If it were you, would you accept”

"Huh"

"Can you accept a man gambling your life Even if this man is good to you, his purpose is still to gamble with your life. Do you accept it Love How ridiculous a word."

He let out a long sigh: "It's better not to love. What's the use of saying so much Isn't it still about betting on the other person If you succeed, that's good. If you don't… Pooh… It's just another tombstone on the back mountain of Wuwangshan City. I'm being foolish, thinking about these things Just grab the person and test the venom directly."

"You..." I frowned, this was simply unfathomable.

Perhaps, as he said, not loving is the best way.

Suddenly, a warning growl from Xiao Nie echoed in the courtyard. I was startled and hurried downstairs.

Xiao Nie stood on the roof of Old Madam Wu's house, as if she had just returned from outside—she was too wild to stay in the yard.

"What's wrong You startled me!" I asked hurriedly.

It jumped down from the roof, its two little stars on its ears twinkling: “Old Chen has been caught.”

What What!

"What did you say" I was astonished. "Who kidnapped him!"

I followed him, and as soon as he appeared at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau, he was taken away. He must have been brought in for questioning... It seems that Officer Lu is already under control. You call, it's probably deliberate to wait for you to jump into a trap. After all, there's no proper reason to come and arrest someone. Xiaonie shook her ears, the two little stars were loosened by its movement.

I crouched down and helped to retie it, and it reminded me, “That ghost princess might use worldly methods to deal with you. What will you use for protection”

I...

" "

Standing once again outside Lin Yanhuan's office, I truly didn't know how to face him.

The first time we met, I had no idea who he was. After I kindly helped him, I never expected to be so deeply involved with the Lin family.

After much wandering, I always have something to ask of him.

He has some feelings for me, but I can't reciprocate and need to carefully distance myself.

But whenever something is beyond my capabilities, I still have to put on a brave face and ask him for help.

It's really embarrassing.

If I were in that position, I would definitely despise someone who always avoided me and only came to me when they needed something.

This modern-style office door has been practically gazed through by me.

As I finally worked up the courage to reach out and press the buzzer, the door swung open with a click.

My heart skipped a beat.

Looking up, Lin Yanhuan was looking at me with a helpless expression.

"Xiao Qiao, come to my office. Need so long to build up the mental preparation"

"Uh... how did you—"

“I stood behind the door waiting for you to open it, watching you all the time from the monitor screen... My office is a den of vipers Scares you that much” He gave a slight smile.

A wry smile.is circle is just like a world within a world, a hidden society."Oh, but to be honest, I admire your brother more... Your brother is simply a master. At such a young age, he does everything so well a...
