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

Hua Ran and Qiao Yi were in a very small hut with dark red walls.

This choice was made out of necessity.

Because this was the only place without any corpses, there was a small bed right in front of you as soon as you entered.

Hua Ran placed Qiao Yi on this small bed.

He carefully pressed his chin against Joey's forehead.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"My lady... what's wrong with you? Your wounds aren't bleeding anymore, and your breathing is steady. Why is this happening? Why won't you open your eyes and look at me!"

But Joey didn't say a word, and her eyes remained tightly closed.

Hua Ran pursed her lips and placed Qiao Yiping on the small bed.

He wanted to see what was wrong with his wife's wound.

Pulling aside Qiao Yi's clothes, revealing her firm abdomen, Hua Ran wiped away all the bloodstains and saw a shallow wound.

"Hmm? Why isn't it healed, but there's no bleeding either..."

It looked rather strange, like the wound had been washed with water many times until it turned white.

Hua Ran wanted to lick Qiao Yi's wound.

I put my mouth right up to it, but after taking a lick, it felt weird.

"Not...human?"

He used his keen sense of smell to detect the scent of his wife.

He leaned closer, embraced her; all he could smell was his wife's scent.

But just now, when I was licking it, I felt that the taste was wrong.

"Why does it smell a bit like... like talisman paper?"

The more Hua Ran thought about it, the stranger it seemed. Finally, he reached out and gently touched the wound on Qiao Yi's stomach.

She pinched a piece of skin, pulled it outwards, and with a "rip" sound, startled Hua Ran.

Then I looked at it, and it was just paper.

Hua Ran's mouth opened slightly, and after a moment of surprise, she quickly stuck the paper back on.

The paper then transformed back into the shape of flesh and stuck back in place.

"It really is paper. Did the wife already know she was going to be stabbed in the kidney?"

Hua Ran licked her lips.

In any case, this person is now just paper, which means he is a magician.

The real wife is fine.

Because of her problem, she was also unable to maintain the spell.

Thinking of this, Hua Ran stopped being gentle with Qiao Yi's body and simply threw Qiao Yi's paper body onto the bed.

He even punched her in the chest with his little fist.

"Ugh! Why can't you tell me? You have to put on an act for me! I was so annoyed, I even cried! You're so awful!"

Hua Ran snorted, flicked her sleeves, and sat down with her back to the paper figure.

"I was so worried... I thought at worst you'd have a bad kidney, but it turns out you're just a paper doll. By the way, when did you change yourself?"

Hua Ran thought for a moment, then realized, "Oh! When that baby girl was born, I told my wife that it was unlucky for a woman to be here."

The wife went out at that time, right then!

Hua Ran lowered her head and saw that the loose-fitting clothes she was wearing belonged to her mistress.

He couldn't help but smell it, mmm... the scent of his wife.

Then he picked up the paper figure, held it in his arms, and flicked its cheek.

"I have to praise you. Luckily you're smart, or you would have gotten hurt."

After a while, Hua Ran looked up again, a green light flashing in her eyes.

"As for that man, of course I won't let him get away with it."

After she finished speaking, a large, swaying tail appeared behind Hua Ran. The tail suddenly split open, and each hair, though seemingly soft, was actually so hard that it could kill a person.

A moment later, another exclamation came from outside.

Hua Ran knew without even looking that the voice came from the tall, thin man.

"What is this?! What is that thing moving around outside?"

You all heard that, didn't you? Stop remaining silent!

Then came Qiao Dawang's voice.

"You're so annoying! You're preventing me from listening to what's going on outside!"

The dog god said, "It smells of blood, and the smell of blood is very strong."

Silence, silence.

The next voice, however, came from the baby girl's biological father.

He shouted, which made Hua Ran, who was in the other room, frown.

It's too jarring.

“There’s a Qilin outside… I’m all too familiar with that running sound. I used to hear it every day, and every night, we were bothered by it.”

But that's not right. We clearly ate the Qilin, so how could it still be there?!

Hua Ran rolled her eyes as she hugged the paper doll of her wife inside the room.

He thought to himself, "Go ahead and scream, go ahead and be scared, I'm not afraid."

A moment later, Qiao Dawang said, "Oh my god... I saw the Qilin too! It was covered in blood, and its four legs were just four white bones... Brother Inugami, I'm scared too!"

It's possible that Qiao Dawang directly gravitated towards Inugami.

Then the dog god said impatiently, "Get out of here. Not only are you one of the Four Fiends, but you are also one of the Four Beasts under the Sun God. You should be afraid of me. Also, don't take my sister's place!"

"I'm scared too. It's true I'm a Taotie, but look at how grotesque the Qilin looks. I'm so afraid I'll turn into one..."

A moment later, Hua Ran heard Qiao Dawan say, "I'm going to find the fox. The sly fox is definitely not afraid, since he is a ghost himself."

Sure enough, there was a knock on the door of the small house where Hua Ran was.

Qiao Dawang asked, "You vixen, how is my master doing?"

Hua Ran pouted; just a moment ago, she had an expression of annoyance and disdain.

But his expression quickly changed when Qiao Dawang smashed the door open and came in.

"Waaaaah... My wife, what's wrong with you...?"

Qiao Dawang looked worried.

"Could it be that my master cannot heal that wound?"

Hanazono burst into tears.

"I can't... and I still can't wake up. I have absolutely no idea what to do."

At that moment, the tall, thin man also came in.

He looked back with particular fear and rubbed his hands together.

"This village is too eerie. That blood-covered monster that keeps lingering outside... According to my understanding, it should be a ghost... It's too scary, Yiyi, I need Yiyi!"

The flowers are unworthy of my attention.

Sobbing, she said, "You...you said you were going to protect Yiyi? Why do we need her now?"

"I...we're in different fields! Joey's job is to catch ghosts, but I'm not a ghost catcher. I'm a system debugger. Ugh, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

When the tall, thin man said this, he glanced at Joey, whose eyes were closed.

He pursed his lips.

"It's very likely... that Yiyi can't wake up because of the system. If I go in and adjust it, maybe Yiyi will be able to wake up."

He was about to step forward when Hua Ran hugged Qiao Yi and dodged.

"Don't touch my wife."

The tall, thin man raised an eyebrow and said.

“I’m helping Yiyi! You know, she’s done a lot of strange things before, that’s what we were doing. She’s doing missions. If that thing in her head isn’t fixed, she won’t wake up, or even… she’ll never wake up.”

The dog god appeared behind them, holding the baby girl.

"She'll never wake up? Does that mean... she can't judge her anymore, and can't access my sister's memories?"

The tall, thin man had his head down, with a slight smile playing on his lips.
