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

Inugami kicked the white-haired woman.

But... something doesn't feel right.

In that short time, everyone watched as half of the white-haired woman's body disappeared into the ground.

She's running away!

And some of them have already escaped!

Qiao Dawang was puzzled, "Blood was splattered all over, how could the shadow monster still escape from the ground?"

Inugami said, "Miss Qiao has her own plans, and her blood has indeed severely injured her. Look, half of her body, I mean her flesh, has melted away."

Inugami felt very happy.

Although he had only recently learned about this shadow monster, he could not forget the suffering his master endured in Stone Bridge Village when he discovered the strange phenomenon but could not solve it, and was troubled by layers of mystery.

In the end, the master died tragically in Shiqiao Village, but he still tried to protect the souls of the villagers.

Inugami exhaled.

"You've finally met your match, no... you'll definitely suffer even more!"

The white-haired woman glared fiercely at the dog god.

"You mad dog, I never knew you were so clever, able to use illusions to scheme against me..."

"I curse you and your master, may you never have a good end!"

"The biggest mistake I ever made was not to kill your master myself, to tear her soul apart, and to scatter her soul to the winds!"

Inugami raised his foot and stepped on the Shadow Monster's face.

Although the opponent had already fled as a shadow, Inugami still crushed it mercilessly.

"The best thing you should have done back then was to cower and spend your whole life as my shadow!"

Qiao Dawang thought about it and now agreed with what Qiao Yi said.

"It really is all cause and effect. Because that Taoist nun has been protecting the souls in Shiqiao Village, I haven't reached the limit of the number I absorbed, and that guy hasn't succeeded."

The boy touched his neck.

He's a little scared now.

The more I spend with others, the more I grow, and the more I realize that I am only one step away from the dragon.

If you step over it, you'll fall completely into the abyss.

Damn it, number 443!

Qiao Dawang said, "Brother Inugami, I am very grateful to you, whether it was in Shiqiao Village or just now for trusting me."

Inugami felt he was about to see his sister again.

In a good mood, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Qiao Dawang.

"Don't call me brother, I don't want to be your peer."

"..."

This explains why a white-haired woman might suddenly bleed, and why a paper effigy might be cut in half at the waist.

Now, time is back on track.

As Joey watched the replay on the big screen in her consciousness space, she was about to say something to the system when she felt her surroundings shaking.

She immediately withdrew her consciousness from the consciousness space and subconsciously gripped Hua Ran's hand.

"Dye it!"

Hua Ran also steadied herself.

"My lady... space is collapsing, not only here but also the entire City of the Dead..."

"Huh? Is the entire City of the Wrongfully Dead collapsing?"

Joey was a little confused.

This fake City of the Dead was created by Red-Eyed Flower Dye, the one whose head it was. I originally thought that I would have to use some persuasion to get him to give up.

Unexpectedly, he himself collapsed.

Qiao Yi looked at the red-eyed Hua Ran with confusion, and asked, "What are you thinking now? You... want to go back to the original owner's body?"

Red-eyed and flower-stained, she laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Besides this... do I have any other place to go?"

Hua Ran scoffed at it.

"Then I'll have to wipe my face properly with a handkerchief, ugh! Dirty! I'd be disgusted with you even if you came back here!"

Hua Ran tilted her head slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.

Qiao Yi squeezed Hua Ran's hand slightly to stop her from doing that.

No matter what, it was flowers dyeing her own hair!

Red-eyed Hua Ran looked at Qiao Yi's face again and couldn't help but say.

"I knew that shadow monster was using me. At first, I didn't understand and fell into her trap. But after spending so many days and nights here, I've long since realized..."

The souls of the unjustly dead in the city were imprisoned by her, and the time people were frozen in was not the time when the floodwaters poured in, but the time when that woman arrived.

It was that woman who told the departed soul that she saw me... grabbed me... made me stop, and made me willingly repay my debt..."

Hua Ran was very dissatisfied when she heard this.

"What do you mean you're paying off your wife's debts? Your wife owes the people of this city nothing!"

Hua Ran was so angry she jumped up and down.

Qiao Yi quickly hugged half of Hua Ran's body.

Hua Ran continued, "I'm telling the truth! The one who owes this city is that Shadow Monster. She's the one who's been obstructing things, just like this time, impersonating each other and sowing discord. It's not the Lady!"

In Hua Ran's heart, the wife was not wrong!

Never.

Hua Ran trembled with anger.

Actually, he was very angry and depressed from the moment he heard Ji Meng talk about this.

Why...

It was a strange phenomenon that attracted the first wife from the past. What was the strange phenomenon? It was yin energy and resentment!

This is itself the cry of those lost souls to the wife for help.

If they don't want to call for help, they can just hide in the city and be invisible to anyone with the ability to see ghosts!

"In the end, the wife in the first life went to take care of it and help! And she was still secretly harmed by the shadow monsters inside. It was clearly caused by everyone, so why is the blame placed on my wife!"

"Alright, Hua Ran, let's not bring up the past anymore. I don't want you to be troubled by that kind of thing."

Hua Ran is still struggling.

Qiao Yi leaned over and kissed Hua Ran's small mouth, forcing Hua Ran to calm down.

"Well!"

Hua Ran trembled.

But now, seeing all this, the red-eyed flower seemed to feel less angry and jealous.

The black lotus mark on her forehead has also faded.

Joey sighed.

"But a mistake is a mistake. I was wrong in my first life, and so is your head. But thankfully, we still have a chance."

Just as Joey was about to take a step forward, the paper woman, which had already turned into a puddle of pus, suddenly started bubbling and spraying liquid outwards.

Red-eyed Flower Dye immediately stepped in to block before Flower Dye could react.

His clothes were only dampened by the liquid.

As a result, the whole person began to be corroded.

Joey was stunned. "That shadow monster actually sacrificed a wisp of its own soul to attack..."

Even with her red eyes stained with flowers, she felt relieved.

"I was only attacked in a hallucination; my head is fine. My wife... I'm so sorry about what happened this time..."

I've caused you trouble, and I've caused trouble for my original self...

The red-eyed flowers began to transform into light spots from the very bottom, starting at the feet.

"My lady... I didn't actually want to replace the original owner of this body. I really just wanted to solve your problems..."

He said that when he passed by this place and was grabbed by the hands and feet by those ghosts, he thought... if the person those guys were grabbing was his wife, how sad she would be.

So he decided to stay and help those lost souls find peace.

He started crying as he spoke.

The tears I shed this time were just normal tears.

He cried like a child.

“I only wanted to help my wife, but year after year, day after day, I don’t know how, I forgot my original intention. All I felt was to escape and replace her… I’m sorry.”
