The useless second daughter of the Hua family

As he spoke, the Ghost Emperor flew towards them.

Xiuzhu waved his sleeves and sent Hua Miaomiao to a safe area aside before turning around to fight.

Both of them are quite strong, and after several rounds of fighting, it is difficult to tell who will win.

Hua Miaomiao could only worry as she listened to the stalemate in the battle.

"Be careful!" Suddenly she heard Xiuzhu's cry, and then she felt a gust of wind coming towards her. In a hurry, she pulled out the peach wood hairpin on her bun and stabbed forward. She only heard a cry of pain, "Ah!", and then... nothing happened.

The Ghost Emperor was dumbfounded. He never thought that he could be injured by a small hairpin and become unable to move. Where did this seemingly insignificant girl come from?

When Xiuzhu got closer and saw the situation clearly, he was also shocked.

Ghost Emperor Yin Xuan was the overlord of this ghost domain after all, so his strength should not be underestimated. When he fought with me just now, he clearly held back some of his strength, mainly to tease me. I'm afraid that even in my prime, I might not be his opponent.

Hua Miaomiao's spiritual power was already weak, and she was haunted by ghosts. Even with the most powerful magic weapon, she would not be able to exert much power. This magic weapon that could instantly freeze Yin Xuan was really not something from the mortal world, and no one knew where Hua Miaomiao got it from.

"Xiuzhu? What happened?" Hua Miaomiao didn't dare to move, not knowing what had happened. She asked anxiously.

"It's okay, she's been pinned down by your hairpin."

"Ah?" Hua Miaomiao withdrew her hand suddenly. When she thought that the Ghost Emperor was standing half a step away from her, she took several steps back uncomfortably.

She retreated suddenly and was about to hit the pillar behind her. Xiuzhu had no time to stop her and instinctively put his hand behind her head. "Be careful! Ah!"

Hua Miaomiao felt a warm big hand protecting her steadily, and the next second she heard Xiuzhu's muffled groan. For a moment she was a little dazed, her eyes slightly hot, being protected by a stranger like this, it turned out to be such a warm feeling. A strange throbbing grew in her heart and slowly sprouted.

"Xiuzhu! Are you okay?" she asked anxiously.

"It's okay." He slowly withdrew his hand and saw a trace of disappointment on Hua Miaomiao's face. He thought she was worried about her hairpin, so he explained: "Don't worry, the hairpin is not damaged, but it can't be taken back for the time being. When we leave the ghost realm, I will definitely help you get it back."

Hua Miaomiao then remembered her hairpin and realized how distracted she had been. Her face started to get slightly hot. "No...it's okay. I believe you."

Xiuzhu didn't notice her abnormality. He frowned and thought about it. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but ask, "Your hairpin is not an ordinary one. Did you have any adventure?"

Hua Miaomiao thought for a long time and then shook her head, saying, "This peach wood hairpin was found by my father by chance, and he carved it himself and gave it to my mother. I haven't heard them say that there was any adventure. If you must count, my father said that when the peach branch was struck by lightning, it not only did not burn into charcoal, but instead took on the luster of lacquered wood. He liked it very much and took it home and made it into a hairpin."

Was it a lightning strike on peach wood? It did have the effect of exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits, but was the power really so amazing? Xiuzhu was not sure, but there was really no other possibility at the moment, and there was no point in him delving further into it.

He turned to look at the Ghost Emperor, "Yin Xuan, let me ask you, where is the girl you brought in earlier?"

Yin Xuan sneered. Even though he was temporarily at a disadvantage, he did not change his arrogant attitude. "Since I brought her in as my bride, she must have become a ghost now."

"You!" Xiuzhu was furious, but he was a gentleman and couldn't torture Yin Xuan to extract a confession. Besides, Yin Xuan might not fall for it. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Hua Miaomiao couldn't bear to see the Ghost Emperor being so arrogant, so she had an idea and said to Xiuzhu nonchalantly, "It would be easier if those girls were gone. We can just take this ghost back and report. Not only will we get the bounty, but we can also sell it to those Taoists to make pills. It would be nice to make two profits."

Yin Xuan's eyes widened in shock. He never expected that this seemingly soft and harmless girl was actually a dark person. If he, the great Ghost Emperor, was really used to make pills by some ugly person, he would be laughed at by the three realms. In comparison, the man was much easier to get along with.

He was no longer arrogant, and his face was full of sincerity. "Knight, I was just joking with you. Those women are upstairs. You can find whichever one you want."

Upon hearing this, Xiuzhu stood up and was about to go upstairs, but when he thought of Hua Miaomiao, he felt a little worried.

Hearing that he had gone and come back, Hua Miaomiao probably guessed that he was worried about her. She felt extremely satisfied. She smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you here."

Xiuzhu's footsteps gradually faded away until they could no longer be heard.

Yin Xuan couldn't move, but he was busy talking. "Girl, your lover came here without caring about his own safety. Could he be looking for his lover's sister? I feel so sorry for you."

"Shut up!" Hua Miaomiao became angry and embarrassed.

"I mean well." Yin Xuan pretended to be wronged and said, "To tell you the truth, if you mortals enter my ghost realm, your body will be corroded by ghost energy. Once you leave here, your soul will be scattered in a few days. It's better for you to stay and spend some good days."

"Liar!"

"Every word I said is true. Your lover is a man of great accomplishments, so he is naturally not afraid. If he is willing to sacrifice his skills to protect someone and get out safely, then there won't be any problems. However, whether he will care about you or not is hard to say."

"Why should I believe what you say? You're not even a human being."

"You are so young, how can you speak so unpleasantly?"

"So annoying! Shut up! Or I'll kill you!"

"..."

Hua Miaomiao was confused. Xiuzhu said he would protect her and take her out. She didn't want to believe that nonsense. Yes, she shouldn't believe it!

Finally, the steady footsteps were heard again upstairs.

"Xiuzhu!" Hua Miaomiao rushed over regardless of anything.

Xiuzhu quickly reached out to catch her, and seeing her face covered with tears, he anxiously asked, "Why are you crying? Did he bully you?"

"No, I'm just a little worried about you."

"Silly girl." Xiuzhu couldn't help but raise his hand and touch her head, with a look of doting in his eyes that he himself didn't even notice.

"Xiuzhu?"

A female voice awakened Hua Miaomiao's consciousness, and she immediately let go of her hand and left his arms.

"What's the situation upstairs?" Hua Miaomiao asked.

"Except for Miss Liu, the rest are all dead. They all died of exhaustion."

"What?" Hua Miaomiao was shocked. So this is what Yin Xuan meant. If you go out, you will die immediately, but if you don't go out, you will only have a month or so?

For some reason, the image of Ge Qinglan's angry face appeared in her mind. Ge Qinglan, will I never see you again? It's a pity, I don't even know what you will look like when you grow up.
