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

The white-robed priest looked up at Qiao Yi, and then also gagged.

Joey frowned.

"I shouldn't have stood in front of this gloomy formation, looking at me like I'm going to throw up."

However, even this white-robed priest was disgusted by what he had done.

Ha, you cowardly dog.

"You're the only one who's afraid to do it."

The priest in white robes got up and spat.

"I'm doing this for the sake of merit!"

Hail began to fall from the sky, each drop resembling a pillar of blood.

Hua Ran gripped the umbrella tightly.

Qiao Yi had Hua Ran put one hand around her neck so she could free her hand. She then pointed two fingers together at the top of the umbrella and whispered, "Gather your energy."

Sure enough, Hua Ran felt the blood pillars and hailstones avoid the umbrella.

Qiao Yi approached the white-robed priest and asked, "You mentioned that Taoist nun who came in back then, she didn't make it out, right?"

"Of course, so don't waste your time. Not only will you fail to break the curse, but you'll also kill the villagers!"

She told Joey to stop solving the puzzles right now.

Then, step by step, bowing repeatedly, they went to the fox's underground palace.

In front of the fox statue, kill the fox and bleed it.

The re-accumulated yin energy will cause the blood rain to continue falling only at night.

This way, the river can drain during the day, preventing the water from rising and drowning the villagers.

Joey only heard the absurdity.

"Did that Taoist nun do the same thing back then?"

"she……"

Joey stepped forward again. "She didn't do that. You killed her, didn't you? I think the last two of the eight strange phenomena in this village must be that Taoist nun and her black dog."

Hua Ran was taken aback, wondering how his wife had guessed all this.

So even when you're all lovey-dovey with him, your little brain is still working.

Not paying attention!

But Hua Ran also thought that his wife was very smart.

To be able to think of this level in such a short time shows she's a clever girl.

The white-robed priest began to retreat.

"I……"

Joey pressed closer and closer.

"You're always the type to stab me in the back. For example, you tricked me into your room, told me you wouldn't make me sacrifice myself and that you'd find a way to save me, but after giving me a fruit, you stabbed me in the back to death."

"I sacrificed my own interests for the greater good!"

The priest in white retreated to a corner, with nowhere left to go.

She became hysterical.

"Yes, yes! I killed that Taoist nun. I said I wanted to help her, that I believed she could save everyone. Then, when she was completing some kind of ritual, I stabbed her in the back."

"But it turns out I was right! You all made the blood rain worse, while I was the one who truly cared for the village."

Joey chuckled softly.

"Is that so? Then we'll wait and see."

After saying that, Qiao Yi left with Hua Ran in her arms.

When they returned to the house where the original owner lived, it was already early morning.

But with hail falling and thick clouds obscuring the sky, it was no different from nighttime.

Old Man Qiao peered out the door, and only smiled when he saw Qiao Yi.

"Yiyi, you're finally back."

He said he made Joey's favorite braised noodles, which he kept warm in the pot, and he also took out a very pretty little cloth bag.

"Yiyi, from now on, put that yellow paper in this bag. Daddy made it for you. Do you like it?"

Qiao Yi was about to refuse, but seeing the needle marks on Mr. Qiao's fingers made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The fabric of the wedding dress was not suitable for making bags, so sewing them was naturally extremely difficult.

Joey sighed, took the bag, and said, "Don't do it anymore. Just stay home and rest."

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired!"

Old Man Qiao was very happy to see Qiao Yi accept the bag.

When Joey went in, she saw a screen in the room.

"Where did this come from?"

“Oh, Aunt Shen brought this over last night. I was thinking that since you’re with the Fox Fairy right now, and your room faces directly outwards, if we don’t put up a screen, everyone can see you coming and going.”

Joey placed the flower dye on the chair.

As she bent over, she felt a gaze fixed on her from behind.

When I turned around again, Old Man Joe was already in the kitchen preparing lunch.

There was no one behind Joey, only a screen.

"Did you see anything?"

Qiao Yi asked Hua Ran.

Hua Ran shook her head.

Indeed, the effect of my Yin-Yang Eyes is still active, and because of sexual intercourse, cough! The system says that it has added another day to the original effect.

Qiao Yi pursed her lips and went to get the wound medicine that the family already had, and handed it to Hua Ran.

"Try applying it yourself. In real life, even if I use yang energy to treat abrasions and bruises, it won't work."

Hua Ran didn't take it, but instead said sweetly, "My lady, please help me apply it~"

"Apply it yourself!"

Hua Ran hated that Qiao Yi was a block of wood.

She didn't take such a good opportunity.

"Others can apply it to their arms and legs themselves, but what about their backs? I'm not a spider demon, how can I reach my back? That's why I need my wife to apply it for me~ Besides, my wife had to hold me down while I lay in that dilapidated thatched hut, my back hurts so much!"

"Stop, I'll apply it for you, but don't say anything else!"

Joey felt that if she continued listening, she would lose her concentration.

Hua Ran chuckled and said sweetly, "Okay~"

He quickly took off his clothes.

Her tender, smooth back, tinged with bluish-purple, was presented to Qiao Yi.

This made Joey's eyes feel hot.

"I...I applied it."

"Hmm~"

As soon as Joey dipped her fingers in the wound medicine and applied it to Hua Ran's back, the other person immediately trembled.

She collapsed limply onto the pillow.

"My lady...be gentle~"

"I……"

I didn't use any force.

As a result, every time she applied the dye, Hua Ran would cry out "Ouch!"

Even the system responded, "Baby, I want to shut down first..."

"No, turning it off makes it seem like something's wrong!"

However, in that instant, Joey felt that gaze again. She turned around abruptly, and it seemed as if something crawled past the screen, something very fast and strange.

A plume of blood-red smoke also emerged.

Joey instinctively slapped the flower dye, while simultaneously turning her head to avoid it.

"Ouch!"

"You brat, what are you doing? It hurts so much..."

"There was something behind the screen, but it ran too fast for me to see."

If what Joey said were true, it would sound like something out of an alien.

It looks like a human and a monster at the same time, climbing on all fours.

Hua Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, but he still said, "No way, I didn't see it."

At the same time, the sound of crying could be heard from outside.

Joey peeked out and saw several people holding umbrellas, carrying a coffin, and scattering paper money.

Someone died at this time? That's incredibly unlucky.

She rushed over and asked, "Who died? Was it a natural death?"

The middle-aged woman who was crying first said, "Miss Qiao, the one who died was my mother. She died yesterday during the day. She was very old, over eighty years old. She said she was taking a nap, and then she just fell asleep..."

Joey felt slightly relieved, but when she saw the character "Shen" written on the white cloth she was holding, she was immediately stunned.

"Died yesterday during the day?"

"Then who was Aunt Shen that my father saw last night...?"
