My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Lu Qianye touched the sword at his waist and couldn't help but ponder.

Yes, where did this puddle of water come from?

It's raining and snowing now, covering a large area. Although the ground is wet, a puddle of water under the eaves shouldn't be able to form like this.

It's like...

"Someone is hanging here, water dripping from their body and pooling into a puddle, right? Miss Lu, judging from your expression, that's what you're thinking."

"Uh!"

Lu Qianye quickly took a step back, as if afraid that there really was a person hanging upside down in front of him.

Joey sighed.

She looked back at Hua Ran, and Hua Ran understood.

They were dignified and resolute, as if they were going to their deaths.

She tilted her head back, raising her fair, delicate chin.

"My lady, come here!"

Qiao Yi then pinned Hua Ran against the wall, leaving Lu Qianye with his mouth wide open, completely bewildered.

Just as Qiao Yi was about to kiss Hua Ran's lips, Hua Ran quickly pushed Qiao Yi away.

Act shy.

A fair face visibly turned pink.

It looks so tempting to take a bite.

"Wait, my lady, wait a minute!"

"what happened?"

"After we kiss here... can I... hide in your arms?"

Joey smiled and said, "Of course."

Hua Ran nudged Qiao Yi again, "Wait a minute, can we change direction? That ghost... is looking at me... I don't want to."

"Good~"

So, under Lu Qianye's gaze, Qiao Yi kissed Hua Ran.

Hua Ran was still shy. After all, being kissed by the wife in front of a man was considered showing off. Hmph, look how much my wife loves me.

But being with his wife in front of a woman made him a little uneasy.

He was embarrassed.

So he covered the gap with his big tail and completely huddled in Joey's arms.

A kiss ended.

Hua Ran's eyes reddened, and her face was burning hot.

He looked at Joey, his heart racing, filled with love.

But at the same time, he also felt insecure, and for some reason, he felt a slight throbbing pain in his chest.

Especially the thought of that wicked woman saying that the wife had no fourth life has kept him awake in terror from his dreams these past few days.

"My lady, may I take a bite out of the corner of my mouth?"

"Why...? You know I don't want you to be in pain."

Hua Ran pouted and said that he saw the dog god kiss the Taoist nun before, leaving a tooth mark on the corner of her mouth. As a result, the Taoist nun was reincarnated, and he recognized her immediately.

"I also want... you to leave a mark deep in my soul. Every time we kiss, bite me. If it goes on and happens too often, will the wound in my soul never heal?"

Joey smiled and shook her head, then went over and gave her a light peck.

He whispered in Hua Ran's ear, "I still don't want you to be in pain, and we won't be in a situation where we have to be reincarnated to find each other. I will always be by your side."

Lu Qianye shouted, "What are you doing? What kind of behavior is this in broad daylight! Are you... never going to stop?"

Hua Ran then remembered that Lu Qianye was still there.

He stomped his feet a few times, throwing a tantrum, and buried his head in Joey's arms.

"Oh dear, I've gotten carried away... How embarrassing!"

Qiao Yi turned around and said, "Miss Lu, take two more steps back, or that vengeful ghost will grab the hem of your clothes."

"Oh...huh?!"

"Although you will be fine if you are caught by a ghost, the yin energy will stain your clothes. If there are elderly people, children or people with poor health in your family, they will get sick as a result."

Joey approached the upside-down male ghost, squatted down, and asked, "Why can't you turn around?"

"He...he won't let me..."

"Who?"

"That guy in the river... Girl, girl! Don't let him harm anyone else, otherwise, if he stands upright, the consequences will be unimaginable... The family on the east side said they need to find someone to retrieve the body, don't let them go!"

Joey's face instantly turned cold.

"Retrieving corpses? If this continues, and more people die, Bianliang County will become a dead zone where people die indiscriminately!"

But Joey paused for a moment and then asked, "Did you see any white foxes, or white-haired women?"

"No... I was crossing the river when my bracelet fell in. I reached in to retrieve it, but instead of finding the bracelet, I touched a pair of dead people's feet... and then..."

Lu Qianye stood to the side, puzzled.

"Joey, who are you talking to? And why did you say so much?"

Hua Ran rolled her eyes. "I already said there are ghosts there. Just because you can't see them or don't believe me doesn't mean my wife and I can't see them."

Qiao Yi got up and pulled Hua Ran away.

Lu Qianye touched the sword at his waist and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Go to the house on the east side where the victim was killed."

"Huh? Why are we going to that house again...? That's a wealthy family, they can't just search it. Wait... did you find out about that house because of the copper coins?"

Joey turned around and said, "If we hurry, we can still make it. Otherwise, we'll lose a few more lives."

Lu Qianye, Qiao Yi, and Hua Ran arrived at the house on the east side and happened to stop a group of people who were going to another province to cross the river.

The woman of the house came out and gave a low hiss.

"A water ghost from another province killed my husband. A life for a life! Even if it's a ghost, it has to pay for my husband's life! Miss Lu, it's true you work for the government, but can you control how we kill people, or how we kill ghosts?"

"I……"

Joey tucked the hem of her dress into her waistband and walked straight forward.

"Do you have an old ox at home? If so, how do you treat it?"

The woman was puzzled.

"What...what does this have to do with the old ox?"

Qiao Yi pulled Hua Ran directly into the courtyard, completely ignoring any attempts to stop her.

Then Joey saw the water flowing from the mourning hall, and she immediately understood that the souls of the dead had not left.

Joey said, "If you have a kind old ox, give it more food, tell it to cry a few tears, and then let the tears fall into your eyes. Then I can let you see your husband. Then you'll know whether you should go or not, and whether he'll let you go or not."

"You... who are you?"

“I am a fortune teller and face reader. My family has been engaged in feng shui and face reading for generations, so I know a little bit about it. If I were a fraud, Miss Lu wouldn’t have brought me here.”

Lu Qianye looked at Qiao Yi, pointed at her, and then pointed at himself.

Finally, she waved her sleeve, thinking it would be a good opportunity for the ghost to see for herself and see if it was real or fake.

With Lu Qianye as her guarantor, the mistress quickly went to the backyard to find the old ox to catch her tears.

She always did good deeds and treated the old ox very well. Knowing that it had plowed the land its whole life, she didn't kill it and treated it kindly.

A short while later, Joey instructed the mistress to leave only the important servants and dismiss the rest of the servants. He then lit cow tears for the mistress in the mourning hall, and also lit them for several important servants.

Joey went over to ask the male ghost first.

"Have you ever seen a white-furred fox spirit, or a white-haired woman?"
