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

However, the Taoist priest hadn't taken more than a few steps before he started wriggling again.

When it walks, its big, fluffy tail sways from side to side, and its buttocks and waist twist like a snake, just like the kind of creature that has just learned to walk on its feet.

The Taoist nun, Qiao Yi, sighed.

"Walk properly. What kind of behavior is this? Although ordinary people can't see your tail, people with the ability to see ghosts or those who are in poor health can. Do you want to scare them to death?"

"Tch... How come the wife wasn't scared to death?"

Am I the same as them?

The Taoist priest chuckled and brushed the face of the nun Qiao Yi with his tail.

"Yes, you're different from them. You like me, but they're afraid of me."

The Daoist nun, Qiao Yi, stopped abruptly. "When have I ever liked you?!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, stand still, raise your voice, become agitated... Yiyi, is this the kind of person you are suited for self-cultivation? Does this even align with the mindset of a Taoist practitioner?"

Daoist Ran glanced at her, chuckled, and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Although I'm old, I rarely leave the mountains. In the forest, I always walk in my fox form, so... walking on two legs is quite uncomfortable for me. But I know my limits. Once we reach populated areas, I'll walk properly."

The Taoist nun Qiao Yi sighed and handed him a sword.

"Take it."

"Oh dear~ You're tired? You can take both swords~ Hehe, whether you're the little husband helping your wife carry things, or the little brother helping your senior sister carry things, I'm fine with either~"

The Daoist nun Qiao Yi walked ahead, saying, "Just say you're my junior brother when you go out. As for that sword... if what's at the bottom of the river is beyond my capabilities, use it to protect yourself."

After listening, the Taoist priest pondered for a moment.

Then his eyes widened.

He muttered to himself, unsure, "Yiyi is worried about me..."

"Caring about me means you care about me... Caring about me means you have feelings for me..."

The Taoist priest revealed a smile even brighter than the sunshine.

He quickly stopped wriggling and walked away.

"Yiyi, wait for me!"

Qiao Yi and Hua Ran, who were watching, each had their own thoughts.

Joey thought, "Was I indifferent to him in my past life? My God... He's this happy just because I gave him a sword. I deserve to die for being so cold to him at first in this life..."

Hua Ran thought, "Was I the one who pursued her in my past life? Ah~ But it doesn't matter, as long as my wife accepts me! Indeed, with enough effort, even an iron rod can be ground into a needle!"

However... it seems that whether it's the past life or this life...

When he sees his wife, he feels inexplicably heartbroken and wants to get close to her, letting her do whatever she wants...

it's wired.

Hua Ran turned around and saw Qiao Yi deep in thought, so she couldn't help but kiss her.

Qiao Yi looked up, but Hua Ran pretended to look away as if nothing was wrong.

Joey smiled slightly and patted his head affectionately. "Alright, keep watching. I'm very curious about what that big thing at the bottom of the river is. Maybe it has a lot to do with what we're dealing with this time."

"Uh-huh!"

The flower-dyed tail wagged incessantly and finally rested on Joey's shoulder.

The surrounding scenery spun around, and soon the Taoist nun Qiao Yi and the Taoist priest Ran appeared in front of them.

They stood on the shore, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

Before them stood a monster, as large as a mountain, dripping with water.

Dragon head, human body, bird claws.

Before the Daoist nun Qiao Yi could say anything, Qiao Yi, who was watching, said first: "It is Ji Meng! It is the god of rain. It opens its mouth and spews mist as rain. It is a very powerful divine beast."

Ji Meng said to the Daoist nun Qiao Yi, "My master from a previous life, you will soon die... and your soul will depart."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest Ran bared his teeth at Ji Meng, revealing his fox-like ferocity.

"You're talking nonsense! She was full of yang energy, a rare genius, healthy and without illness or disaster, how could she have died?"

The enormous dragon head tilted slightly toward the Taoist priest, and water poured out like a waterfall.

Although Dao Shi Ran still showed a fierce expression to Ji Meng, his fox ears drooped down instantly.

His body was trembling incessantly.

It's too much of a stretch for the fox spirit to deal with Shang Jimeng.

Ji Meng revealed a look of disgust.

"Because you... will kill my lord, it is your destiny, there is no escaping it. If you and my lord never meet... that would be for the best, but unfortunately... there are no ifs."

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest was immediately shocked.

My eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"No...it's impossible...how could I kill her? I...I really liked her. From the first moment I saw her, I wanted to be with her!"

Ji Meng said emotionlessly, "Although she is my master, due to reincarnation, her yang energy is below mine, which is why I can see her cause and effect."

The Taoist priest was about to speak again when the Taoist nun Qiao Yi stopped him.

He said to Shang Ji Meng, “You call me your master, and although I don’t remember it, you should understand that it is unnecessary for a servant to interfere too much with his master.”

Ji Meng's enormous dragon head let out a sneer.

"The wrongful conviction in Bianliang County was a result of a misjudgment by the current magistrate. You should deal with it yourself. I don't think my lord is so powerless as to lack even that little bit of strength."

After saying this, Ji Meng disappeared into the river.

The Taoist nun Qiao Yi began to raise her hands and calculate, she was calculating her own fate.

Suddenly, her eyes widened and her fists clenched.

The Taoist priest, standing nervously to the side, asked, "Did you...did you figure anything out?"

"As he said, my life is coming to an end."

"what?!"

Daoshi Ran grabbed her hand and shook his head, "No, calculate it again, calculate it again!"

The Taoist nun Qiao Yi smiled calmly.

"Do you not trust me, or do you not trust my abilities? But that's a complicated matter, so I won't tell you."

The Taoist nun Qiao Yi gazed into the distance and took a deep breath.

After that, the Taoist nun Qiao Yi quickly captured the red-clothed, long-haired male ghost.

Because of the county magistrate's wrong judgment, the wife, who had actually died unexpectedly, was accused of being killed by her husband. As the onlooker Qiao Yi described it, she was more wronged than Dou E. What else could she be but a wronged ghost?

Fortunately, his revenge was directed at those who had wronged him in the first place, and no innocent people were harmed. So the Daoist nun Qiao Yi did not let his soul be scattered, but instead threw it into the river and had Ji Meng watch over it. Once the resentment dissipated, he was allowed to be reincarnated.

The screen freezes.

Joey crossed her arms.

"This means that Ji Meng didn't take what I said back then seriously. He didn't let the male ghost reincarnate, but instead let him cultivate... The upside-down corpse was just a decoy to fool people! Because if it had been an upright corpse from the beginning, probably no one would have dared to approach it."

Hua Ran didn't say anything.

He lowered his head, recalling the memories that had surfaced in his mind.

In his first life, his wife killed him.

In his second life, he killed his wife.

In this second life, it's a perfect match!

Ji Meng also said back then that his wife died at his hands, which proves that... it's all true.

Thinking back, in the Candle Dragon Maze, the wicked woman said that the wife would not have a fourth life, and Hua Ran felt heartbroken!

Is it because the wife met him that she couldn't go on living?
