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

"Wife master!"

Qiao Yi raised her hand and grabbed Zhao Daxian's neck.

"You...you have no grudge against me, why..."

Zhao Daxian then stood up, her eyes lifeless and her voice no longer sounding like hers.

With coldness and disdain.

“Joey, you should know very well who I am.”

"You have white hair..."

Qiao Yi immediately raised her hand and grabbed Zhao Daxian'er by the neck, pressing her directly onto the deck.

But soon, Zhao Daxian's eyes regained their clarity.

"Ah...where am I? Senior...I haven't seen you in so long, you're back...My senior sister asked me to thank you..."

Before Zhao Daxian could finish speaking, he looked down and shouted.

Because his hand was touching the dagger, which was stuck in Joey's abdomen.

Joey could clearly sense that it was no ordinary dagger.

She suddenly remembered the dagger used by the white-robed priest in Shiqiao Village.

Then her body swayed slightly, and Qiao Yi collapsed completely, losing consciousness.

Hua Ran immediately hugged her.

"Wife master!"

His hands trembled as he touched Joey's abdomen, which was already stained with blood.

"It's not fake...life is slipping away..."

Hua Ran's breathing became increasingly heavy, and her whole body trembled.

He tried to transfer his yang energy to Qiao Yi, but it was no use. It wasn't because his wife was lying, but because the dagger prevented his yang energy from staying on her.

Hua Ran raised her hand to pull out the dagger, but the dagger did not budge.

Then a sound came from above.

"It's useless! That dagger is a treasure that only appears once every three thousand years. The one the priest of Stone Bridge Village had was a fake! It's been soaked in the blood and resentment accumulated in this world. You can't touch it, but you can only drain Qiao Yi's yang energy, hahaha!"

"I will eventually replace Joy, and your derivative will eventually replace you!"

The woman's voice grew increasingly faint.

Hua Ran was in a panic. He looked at Qiao Yi, who was bleeding in his arms, and somehow, he felt that she was the same person he had seen in his previous life.

Especially when Joey died in the last life.

A dagger, the same dagger!

In my previous life, I was the one who held this dagger and stabbed it into my wife's body!

He killed his wife... He killed the person he loved most!

In an instant, Hua Ran's eyes were no longer black, but turned into a ghostly green.

And a large amount of bloody tears flowed from his eyes.

Hua Ran threw her head back and shouted, her black hair flying wildly and instantly turning brownish-red.

"This is a conspiracy... From Ji Meng to the male ghost, it's all that woman's conspiracy!"

Hua Ran now understands clearly.

Ji Meng and the white-haired woman must be working together. Ji Meng is keeping his wife on his side, while the white-haired woman is possessing Zhao Daxian'er.

This gave Zhao Daxian an opportunity to take advantage of the situation in a critical moment.

Starting from where the flowers were dyed, cracks began to appear on the hull.

Lu Qianye exclaimed in surprise.

"ferry!"

The next moment, the entire ship was torn to pieces.

Lu Qianye and the others were directly blasted away, but she never let go of Qiao Dawan's hand.

As an adult, she has to protect the children.

As the daughter of a high-ranking official, she has to protect the people of Bianliang County!

"Hey... gurgle..."

Lu Qianye couldn't open her mouth; the surging river water filled her mouth and nose, making it impossible for her to breathe.

During this process, Hanazono also transformed into a giant, brownish-red fox, taller than a mountain.

Its fur is thick, and there are two strands of deep red hair at the corners of its eyes that extend directly into its temples.

Its thick, large tail can create towering waves with a mere slap on the river's surface.

As Zhao Daxian was washed ashore, she felt a huge shadow looming over her.

"Ahhhh... Fox spirit, Lord Fox Spirit!"

She knelt down and kept kowtowing.

"I don't know what happened, I have absolutely no idea. I didn't mean to hurt you, senior. I don't even know how I got here. Please, Fox Spirit, spare my life, please..."

She looked up and saw that the fox's enormous body blotted out the sky.

It gently picked up Joey's body and put it in its mouth.

Then came a loud cry.

The flamboyant red tail instantly forked and plunged straight into the river.

They overturned all the rocks in the riverbed.

"Ji Meng...you harmed my wife, I will kill you!"

"I will rip out your dragon head, destroy your body, and ensure you never have a chance to rise again!"

On a distant mountaintop stood a man wearing a cloak.

As the ground shook, the mountain beneath his feet cracked.

With a loud "bang," he was so frightened that he almost fell off the mountain.

It was a woman in a cloak who suddenly appeared from behind and helped him up.

The hoods of both men were blown off by the strong wind, revealing their hair color underneath.

The woman's silver-white hair hung down to her waist.

The man also had a pair of white fox ears.

“Master… does Hua Ran really possess such power? This place is far from the river, and we're even on the mountain, yet his power can reach this far…”

The woman gave a cold laugh.

"Hua Ran will personally kill Ji Meng this time, hahaha. Even if Qiao Yi doesn't die, with another of her beasts gone, her chances of returning to her rightful place are slim. Besides, Hua Ran killed him herself; Hua Ran personally cut off their path..."

The woman's body trembled, not from fear, but from laughter.

I was extremely happy, as if I had achieved my goal.

The white-furred fox looked down at its white boots.

"Master...do you love me?"

The woman turned to look at the white fox.

"Of course, I did all this for you, didn't I? So later, when Hua Ran forces Ji Meng out and he's focused on his work, use your ability to teleport directly behind him. It would be best if you could deliver a heavy blow, but if not, hurting him and making him suffer is fine too!"

The white fox pursed its lips.

"Master... what is love like? Will you love me the way Qiao Yi loves Hua Ran?"

"of course."

The white-haired woman pulled the white fox over and forcefully kissed his lips.

The white fox felt the force of the predation, and its pale face turned slightly red.

Even my fingertips felt warm.

But just as he was about to savor that warmth, the woman let go of him.

"Go, the time is almost right."

"Um...then from now on, can I call you Mistress?"

The woman took his hand and pressed it against her chest, saying, "Isn't my attitude towards you obvious enough? I hold you in my arms every night when we sleep. Has anyone else ever received this treatment? But you can't call me 'Mistress' now. We have to win over the masses, because only in this way can those male ghosts willingly serve us and die for us."

The white fox thought it made a lot of sense.

He exhaled.

"Then, Master... I'm going."

The woman nodded. "I will be watching you at this moment."

The white fox quickly teleported onto the back of Hua Ran, who had already transformed into his original form, and took a deep breath.

Another dagger appeared in his hand, and he plunged it into Hua Ran's neck.

"You forced me!"
