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

Lu Qianye really couldn't see anything.

This is something only Qiao Dawang can handle.

Having followed Qiao Yi for a long time, Qiao Dawang has learned quite a few skills.

In addition, since he was originally a ferocious beast, he could easily see what others could not, so seeing this little girl was also a piece of cake for him.

He touched the top of the girl's head.

He pressed down on the girl's wrist again and said, "Her soul has already reached the gates of hell."

This sentence terrified the middle-aged woman.

"What?! You said she's dead... But she can breathe! Put your hands near her mouth and feel it, she's really breathing!"

The middle-aged woman said again that Qiao Dawang was no good and that Lu Qianye should be sent instead.

She clearly sees Qiao Dawan as Lu Qianye's little follower.

"Da Ye, come here quickly! What kind of man does this kind of thing? Even if I'm ignorant and uneducated, I know that men don't have much yang energy, and sometimes they even bring bad luck! What if coming here doesn't cure my granddaughter, but makes her even sicker?"

Lu Qianye clicked his tongue.

"Who said he brought bad luck!"

Lu Qianye's roar startled the middle-aged woman and Qiao Dawang as well.

"Sister Lu..."

The middle-aged woman coughed. "That's what the old saying goes. What can I do? Besides, my granddaughter is clearly breathing, but he says her soul is gone and she's gone to some hell gate. That's such a depressing thing to say!"

The middle-aged woman was still complaining quietly.

"Oh dear, I wrote a letter and entrusted the last strong woman who could go out to deliver the message, thinking that your mother, who has become an official, would bring a good doctor from outside. But instead, she sent you with this man. What good is he?"

“You should have come alone. You’re strong enough to carry my little granddaughter to the hospital. Now that you’ve brought a man, you could have carried him up.”

Lu Qianye was truly grateful that her mother had managed to climb out of poverty and pass the imperial examination to become an official.

If she were tormented here for the rest of her life, she might become like that person, and might not even be able to meet Qiao Dawang.

Seeing that the two of them had stopped moving, the middle-aged woman grabbed a wet leaf from the side and flung it at Qiao Dawan.

It symbolizes warding off evil spirits.

Lu Qianye immediately hissed, "Enough!"

"Big night..."

"Stop calling me that! My surname is Lu. If you can't remember my given name, just call me Miss Lu!"

If you continue like this, we'll leave, we'll leave immediately. You were the one who asked for help, and my mother sent me to help you out of consideration for us being from the same hometown. We've had a long and arduous journey, and now you're blaming us for bad luck? We've really made a mistake in trying to help you.”

She tugged at Qiao Dawang again, pulling him closer to her. "He's not some useless man, he is..."

"I am Sister Lu's husband!"

Qiao Dawang suddenly chimed in, and Lu Qianye choked up, unable to say anything.

The middle-aged woman swallowed.

"It's...it's Da Ye, oh no, Miss Lu, he's actually your husband...I'm so sorry, but when you two came in, there wasn't anything intimate between you, so I thought he was your little follower..."

Seeing the middle-aged woman lower her head, Qiao Dawang pressed his advantage.

"I'm still Sister Lu's legal husband!"

When Lu Qianye heard Qiao Dawan say this, she pursed her lips and said, "Yes, he is my husband, and he is the key person who saved your granddaughter this time. Your granddaughter is not sick. Her soul is missing because of ghosts. My husband is a disciple of the local fortune teller."

As soon as Lu Qianye mentioned this, the middle-aged woman quickly apologized.

"The Great Immortal's personal disciple? Oh dear, I was blind to his greatness! I was truly astute!"

She even slapped herself.

He slapped his own mouth.

Qiao Dawang coughed and said, "Your granddaughter was hit by something that knocked her soul out of her body."

"Was it a hit-and-run?"

Lu Qianye was very familiar with this word; it was the word Qiao Yi used most often.

It means that the body has been possessed by evil spirits.

Qiao Dawang shook his head.

"No, it's not an ordinary ghost. This should be someone looking for a ghost substitute. However, your granddaughter still has connections with the human world. She doesn't want to leave, so her three souls and seven spirits are still intact. That's why you can still feel her breathing."

"connect?"

Qiao Dawang nodded, "Does your granddaughter have any playmates or favorite toys?"

"Yes, really! Hey, you're amazing! Her parents died early, leaving her a grasshopper woven from straw, which she has always treasured. Poor thing, do you think I'd be in such a hurry? In our family, my granddaughter is the only one left!"

Qiao Dawang instructed the middle-aged woman to place the grasshopper next to her face, making sure it was pressed tightly against her skin.

Then, it's not time yet; he'll deal with it again at midnight.

This little girl can be saved.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman thanked her repeatedly, then began to insult her, saying that her eyesight was failing and her mind was not working properly, which was why she was saying such nonsense.

Lu Qianye, however, took Qiao Dawan's hand and led him outside.

Qiao Dawang thought Lu Qianye would scold him, since he had said those things without Lu Qianye's permission.

Oh dear, my body is faster than my brain.

For some reason, he just wanted to say it.

Especially after learning that he liked Lu Qianye, he felt it was too late to say it, and he felt much better after saying it.

Lu Qianye took a deep breath and asked, "That woman splashed you with water that was soaked with leaves, are you alright?"

"Ah...eh?"

Qiao Dawang was somewhat puzzled.

It's not that I blame him, but rather... I'm worried about him?

Qiao Dawang was in a great mood because of this realization.

"Sister Lu, I'm fine. What harm could those broken leaves do to me? Even if the whole tree fell on me, I wouldn't be hurt."

"But didn't she say... that the water infused with those leaves can ward off evil spirits?"

After Lu Qianye finished speaking, she looked around and saw the middle-aged woman busy inside the house, waving at them from time to time. She then leaned over and whispered in Qiao Dawan's ear, "You are Taotie, one of the Four Fiends, aren't you considered evil?"

Qiao Dawan could only feel the hot breath on his ears.

He had no idea about remote villages or dilapidated buildings.

Only Lu Qianye remained.

My ears are so hot and itchy...

Sister Lu is so close to me.

Lu Qianye was also anxious when he saw that Qiao Dawan was not speaking.

"Big Bowl, Big Bowl! Are you really alright?"

"Oh, no!"

Qiao Dawang immediately turned around, his lips brushing against Lu Qianye's face, causing Lu Qianye to tremble.

Qiao Dawang was also taken aback.

But he quickly regained his composure.

"Don't worry, Sister Lu. Nothing can drive me away. No matter how powerful something is, it's useless. I guess only the stone that Nuwa used to mend the sky can deter me."

Lu Qianye quickly agreed, saying she needed to go to the restroom.

She actually turned around and covered her face where she had been kissed.
