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

Qiao Yi immediately hugged Hua Ran tightly, her hands stroking up and down Hua Ran's back.

"Don't cry. Are you hurt? Did that woman do anything to you?"

The system couldn't help but interrupt.

"Huh? You should ask him if he crushed someone else. Don't forget what he looks like when he turns back into his true form as a big fox! He won't suffer a loss. Is he the type to suffer a loss?"

"Go away! No matter how big he is, he's still a delicate and handsome man!"

Hua Ran wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"My lady, I'm asking you, are you hurt? My head is so annoying, has it tempted you to do anything bad?"

Before Qiao Yi could answer, Hua Ran took the initiative to sniff Qiao Yi's clothes, neck, and face.

"Speaking of which... he and I smell the same, but I can't tell the difference."

When the woman behind Hua Ran appeared, Qiao Yi's lips twitched.

The white-haired woman only had half a face; the other half had a burnt paper edge at the gap.

Good heavens, although she had expected that the white-haired woman would not reveal her true form, she still hadn't expected her to appear in this form.

Seeing the white-haired woman like this, Hua Ran felt a little shy.

He lowered his head and stomped his foot.

"Oh dear~ when the smell of the head disappeared halfway there, I felt something was wrong. Although she thinks she's the same as the wife, but... she's more proper than you, the wife~"

I immediately realized something was wrong with her!

"...More serious than me..."

"Yes, so I'm the one who hit that half of your face."

After Hua Ran finished speaking, she lowered her head shyly.

She even twisted her body, too embarrassed to look at Joey.

The white-haired woman's hair had turned completely white.

Since it was just a paper substitute anyway, she didn't care at all and simply stood next to the red-eyed flower-stained one.

"Joey, you won't be laughing for long."

After thinking for a moment, Joey realized that the woman's true form was definitely not here at the moment; she was a shadow monster who loved to impersonate others and sow discord.

It has to be said that her acting is sometimes so convincing that it's hard to tell if it's real or fake.

For example, Hua Ran spent a day with her and then realized that she wasn't really herself.

Judging from the fact that she separated the two of them, even after thousands of years, she still succeeded.

"Joey, you know that the Sun and Moon only have two chances to make a mistake, right?"

Joey replied calmly, "I know. I've recounted my entire life, and I haven't made any major mistakes in this life. Justice will prevail."

At the same time, Qiao Yi spoke through her consciousness, causing the system to now locate Qiao Dawan in Bian Liang's body.

"The scene switches directly."

"Okay, baby~"

The white-haired woman spoke.

"I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about Hua Ran, the real Hua Ran. In the first life, you killed him, and he committed suicide. Through the matchmaking of the Old Man Under the Moon, you were connected by the red thread, and thus you had a second life."

In his second life, in order to be with you in a third life, he killed you; this was his mistake.

In the third life, before you returned, while you were in the coffin, he killed the girl from Shiqiao Village, whose fate was entirely yang, so that you could return and possess her body. This was his second mistake.

Hearing this, Qiao Yi was taken aback.

"Hua Ran, have you ever done such a thing?"

Her previously relaxed brows suddenly furrowed.

"What are you hiding from me?!"

Hua Ran was startled when she heard Qiao Yi's low shout.

The two lively fox ears immediately tilted to the sides and drooped.

"I……"

Hua Ran lowered her head and stirred her hands.

After a long while, no matter how hard he tried to think, his mind went completely blank.

Only then did he look at Qiao Yi with tears in his eyes.

He reached out and grabbed Joey's sleeve.

"My lady... I don't know."

Hua Ran was also confused when he heard this; he really didn't know.

His memory was fragmented, and he guessed that he might have had limbs, such as a tail or eyes, on his body when he lay in the coffin.

If he really did do such a thing, after killing Joey in Stone Bridge Village, his only remaining limb would have left, taking with it his memories of that time.

Maybe...it really is possible.

“My lady… if I really did it, then… then there are only two things! It’s not a problem…”

"Flower dyeing!"

Joey shook off Hua Ran's hand.

"What do you mean it's not a problem? Do you know that if a severed limb does something wrong, it will be held against you!"

Hua Ran pursed her lips.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Then the white-haired woman said, "Ha... Now, dismembering limbs and harming innocent souls, this is the third mistake."

The red-eyed flower standing to the side asked, "If I pass the Heavenly Judgment, can I replace him?"

The white-haired woman nodded.

“Yes, but you didn’t do as I said. If you had killed Joey just now, it would be the two of us now, replacing them.”

When the woman said this, her fists were clenched so tightly that her fingertips became white.

But she still said, "It's okay, you can kill Hua Ran first. Then you'll find that Qiao Yi doesn't love you. The only one who truly loves you is me."

The entire space became even brighter.

The flames erupting from the skull were even more intense.

Joey coldly rebuked him.

"Don't listen to her nonsense! We saw Hua Ran's derivative form in the place where Zhu Long was, and she said the same thing to that derivative form!"

Red-eyed and flower-stained, she reclines half-reclined on the skull throne.

He glanced sideways at the white-haired woman.

His expression toward the white-haired woman was neither humble nor arrogant.

After a short while, he parted his red lips slightly and said, "No matter what, I hate Hua Ran. If I could replace him, that would be the best."

As he said this, he flashed to Hua Ran's side.

He reached out and grabbed Hua Ran's crown.

"Resistance is futile. In this city of the unjustly dead, I am the master. Water flows because of me, and roads are built because of me..."

Joey immediately stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of the woman with red eyes and flower-like hair.

You can't!

"He did something wrong, so why can't I? I'm also a flower dyer, and I can love you too!"

As the red-eyed Hua Ran spoke, she finally placed her hand on Hua Ran's head, causing Hua Ran's fox ears to droop to both sides.

Suddenly, a cloud of black energy emerged from his palm and coiled around Hua Ran's entire body.

Hua Ran screamed in pain and fell to the ground, rolling around incessantly.

Qiao Yi quickly looked at Hua Ran and hugged her in her arms.

"Flower dyeing...flower dyeing!"

At the same time, a sword appeared out of nowhere, pointing directly at the red-eyed flower.

Qiao Yi said coldly, "Remove the restraints from Hua Ran! Don't force me to say it a second time, because if you don't hear me the second time, I will kill you directly."

Red-eyed Flower Dye simply chuckled.

"It's not me who's punishing Hua Ran now, it's Heaven. Even if you let my soul be scattered, it won't make a difference. Besides... do I even have a soul? Do I even have a spirit? I have nothing... I'm just an illusion."

He tilted his head.

"Only when I replace Hua Ran will I have a soul."

At the same time, on the screen in Joey's mind, a woman was standing at the door in front of Bian Liang's dilapidated temple.

She called out sweetly, "Daddy~"

A strange smile appeared on his face.
