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

The male ghost was also upside down, in the same posture as the initially rumored corpse in the river.

His hair was disheveled, and he was soaking wet.

Tears welled up in his eyes, mingling with water.

“I’ve never seen this before… I don’t know how I got stuck here at first, unable to reincarnate… And that day on my way home, I came across a small puddle, and I felt someone push me from behind. After I fell in, someone held my neck and wouldn’t let me get up…”

The man sobbed, "I've never done anything wrong in my life, how could this happen to me for no reason... Oh, by the way, young lady, you can see me, please don't let my wife take people to that river. I heard someone went to that river and brought bad things over... My wife's family has only had one son for three generations... We can't let something happen to her because of me..."

"Hey, you should talk to her yourself. They can see you now."

The woman of the house exclaimed in surprise.

"Husband!"

Several maids also gathered around.

"Uncle!"

Lu Qianye watched in stunned silence.

"Hurry up, give me some cow tears too."

Joey smiled.

"Even if you drip it, you won't see it. From birth until now, you have never done a single evil deed, nor have you ever felt disgusted by your own selfish desires. You have a very auspicious and lucky destiny, with auspicious clouds between your brows. Not to mention seeing ghosts, even those with cultivation cannot touch you. Heaven will not let you be afraid."

Lu Qianye actually dripped a drop, and of course, he couldn't see the ghost.

She spat and touched her dagger.

"I always feel like you're lying to me..."

But the whole family saw it, and she couldn't explain why.

After the woman finished crying, she came out and took Qiao Yi's hand, saying, "Miss... I must avenge him. Could you come with us and give us some pointers? We've already... we've already sensed your supernatural powers. How much do you want? Name your price..."

Hua Ran snorted.

“My wife is not someone who cares about money.”

Qiao Yi, however, said, "One hundred taels."

Lu Qianye coughed, "Whoa!"

With her salary, she would have to work for a very, very long time to earn that much.

Hua Ran looked at Qiao Yi with a mournful expression, "My lady..."

Qiao Yi leaned closer and said, "These people all have a bloodthirsty aura between their brows. If I don't go with them, they will surely die. If I go with them, they can still live. I can make money. Most importantly, I can spread my yang energy to them. When I encounter your remains, like in the case of the Candle Dragon's belly, I can reclaim my yang energy."

"For...for me..."

Hua Ran quickly lowered her head, her body swaying gently, her fluffy tail bobbing from side to side.

"It was all for me..."

Joey nodded, "I'll buy you a chicken when I make money."

Hua Ran quickly stepped in front of Qiao Yi to block her.

"Two hundred taels! My wife is too embarrassed to ask for money, so I'll ask for it! Give us two hundred taels and we'll follow you."

Lu Qianye raised an eyebrow. She suddenly realized that these two people might not be human traffickers.

He's a scammer who specializes in swindling people out of their money.

This is indeed much more lucrative than being a human trafficker, and the charges are less serious.

The lady of the house agreed.

Qiao Yi looked at the sky. "In another hour, we'll set off at midnight. If we head to the river in another province now, that upside-down corpse might not come out. If it doesn't, you won't be able to get revenge. Besides, if that guy doesn't disappear, your husband's soul won't be able to leave and he won't be able to reincarnate."

"Okay, I'll go get ready."

The hostess gave Joey and the others two rooms to rest in temporarily.

As soon as Hua Ran entered the room, she started yawning, saying that she was really tired and would take a nap first.

Joey now fully understands the laws of reproduction in this world; both men and women will have a reaction.

Men mainly experience symptoms of fatigue, exhaustion, and drowsiness; severe cases may cause dizziness.

Women often suffer from acne, which is painful and itchy. They cannot scratch it, as scratching will leave scars.

So when Hua Ran said she was sleepy, Qiao Yi said, "Go to sleep quickly, don't stay up too late, or you'll feel dizzy and uncomfortable when you get back."

"Hmm~ My dear wife, you must call me when you go. You can't go by yourself."

Hua Ran touched Qiao Yi's little face.

"You absolutely cannot leave me... If you leave me, I will be angry, heartbroken, and I might even die..."

As she said this, a green light flashed in Hua Ran's eyes, just like when she first met the villagers in Shiqiao Village.

Joey had a strange feeling, an indescribable sense of familiarity and sadness.

She grabbed Hua Ran's hand and kissed the back of his hand with such force that it hurt Hua Ran.

Only the back of her hand, Joey dared to kiss the sensitive spot.

"I will not leave you, and my word always stands."

Both of them now know that they had entanglements with each other in their past lives, but they both choose to remain silent, not wanting to add to each other's troubles.

Hua Ran lay down, closed her eyes to rest, and soon drifted off to sleep.

As she was sleeping, Hua Ran felt her hand being pulled.

A crisp sound came to my ears.

“Daddy…Daddy!”

"Huh? You..."

Hua Ran opened his eyes drowsily and saw a little dumpling standing by the bed, having to stand on tiptoe to reach his sleeve.

She had her hair styled in a pretty bun and wore a little red dress.

"Daddy, Daddy~ I'm your baby! I'm so lucky to have come down to see you while the fertility fairy up there is taking a nap~"

"Baby...my baby!"

As a spirit, Hua Ran naturally knew that the souls of children were guarded by the Fairy of Giving Children.

Once a couple conceives a baby, it means they have the baby's soul!

Hua Ran immediately hugged the little dumpling.

“Baby, I’m sorry… Daddy didn’t abandon you before… Daddy is so happy that you came…”

The little bundle of joy smiled and said, "Daddy, I won't be angry with you, because I know you and Mommy have been through a lot. When I was choosing my parents, I looked into your past, and I know you truly love each other. That's why I want to be your baby~ Only if you truly love each other will you love me even more~"

"And Daddy, you must be a very good daddy who takes good care of baby~ I won't let anything happen to Daddy. I will keep praying to the gods in heaven to protect Daddy and punish those who harm Daddy!"

The little bundle of milk clenched its tiny fists at its chest.

Hua Ran hugged her tightly.

"No need... You don't need to do those things. You just need to focus on absorbing my life force within the womb..."

"You just need to be born healthy, and Daddy will definitely find the right body!"

Hua Ran looked at the little milk ball's features again.

The baby's eyes resemble the wife's, while the rest of the baby's features, such as the nose and mouth, resemble hers.

Hua Ran lowered her head and kissed her forehead, with reluctance.

Because the baby's image was becoming increasingly blurry, he knew that the baby had appeared in his dream to tell him the time.

When Hua Ran finally woke up, tears were still in the corners of her eyes.

Joey stood nervously by her side.

"Hua Ran, are you feeling unwell? Don't hold it in..."

"No, no..."

Hua Ran is increasingly convinced that there's something fishy about the fact that he dismembered himself. He wouldn't do that; someone must have lied to him!

Even for the sake of the future baby, he wouldn't do that!
