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

At this point, didn't Qiao Dawang also need a way out?

He quickly turned around and touched his lips.

Oh no, how did we end up kissing?

I haven't told Sister Lu my true feelings yet. Will this make Sister Lu feel disgusted?

For a moment, Qiao Dawang was deep in thought.

From the fundamental difference between humans and animals, to... does Sister Lu's family support her finding a non-human?

And then...when will I grow a little taller?

Even... what will my child with Sister Lu be like...?

Thinking of this, Qiao Dawang immediately shook his head.

"Ugh, how could I think about these things? My relationship with Sister Lu isn't even official yet, how could I be thinking about having a child..."

Qiao Dawang patted his face with his hand.

When he turned around, he was startled.

Because he saw a face on the door panel next to him.

A face slowly emerged from the door panel, passing through the wall and swaying from side to side.

His skin was deathly pale, and his eyes were entirely white.

It was the female ghost who had teased Qiao Dawang outside before coming to this village.

"It's you……"

The female ghost chuckled, "Little glutton, seeing me here, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

Qiao Dawang scoffed and raised his hand, which instantly transformed into a claw.

"Just wandering ghosts, what's so strange about them? The ghosts I've eaten, if stacked up, would be taller than a mountain, and if you add them all up, they'd definitely be older than you've been dead."

"Oh dear~ I'm so scared, little Taotie! Even the male has such power~"

But Qiao Dawang could tell that the female ghost wasn't afraid at all.

Qiao Dawang told himself to calm down, and then asked, "What is your relationship with this village?"

The female ghost laughed, "It's alright~ Okay, now it's my turn to ask a question. You like Lu Qianye, right?"

Qiao Dawang gets furious at the mere mention of Lu Qianye.

"Don't even think about hurting her! You're so lowly that she can't even see you, and nothing you do will work on her!"

"Oh dear, I'm in a panic! Has she touched you? Have you two had any physical contact?"

Qiao Dawan clenched his fist at his side.

He was naturally not afraid of the monsters that attacked him directly.

But the female ghost's motives are unclear, which makes Qiao Dawan feel very uneasy.

"What we have to do with you is none of your business!"

"Haha, concern makes you confused, little glutton. When your heart is in turmoil, it means that the barrier protecting you has cracked. At this moment, love becomes your weakness."

Taotie frowned, "What exactly do you want to do!"

"Haha~ Why should I tell you?"

This time, Qiao Dawang disregarded everything and directly pressed his massive, sharp claws, which had transformed back into those of a Taotie, onto the female ghost's face.

The female ghost screamed in surprise, not expecting the Taotie to suddenly attack her.

In a wisp of smoke, only a single hair remained of the woman on the wooden board, which floated slowly down into Qiao Dawan's hand.

"What is this thing? A hair... a single hair?"

Qiao Dawang sneezed upon smelling it, but still carefully put the hair away.

At this moment, Lu Qianye returned, and Qiao Dawan immediately transformed his aggressive claws back into human hands.

"Sister Lu, did you... did you see anything? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qiao Dawang asked the question nervously.

Lu Qianye shook his head.

This put Qiao Dawang's mind at ease.

"Alright, let's get something to eat. I see this place isn't completely without food; there's a small plot of land in front where they grow their own food. I'm going to pick a couple of radishes from the field. Do you want to come?"

Qiao Dawan scoffed.

"I'm not going!"

"You used to really enjoy playing with dirt."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Dawang felt like he was being treated like a child again, which he couldn't accept!

Who likes playing in the dirt? He doesn't! He really doesn't like it!

And he doesn't want to play it anymore!

He wants to be a quiet, handsome man.

Qiao Dawan unconsciously started thinking about foxes.

What do foxes usually do? Act all cute and cuddly, wagging their tails~

Damn! His tail is ugly, it's not fluffy at all!

Lu Qianye had no idea that Qiao Dawang was imagining so much.

She simply said, "Then you go inside and sit down. I'll go to the field to pull up some radishes, and then I'll make you some radish noodles."

"Well……"

Just as Lu Qianye turned to leave, footprints began to appear on the ground behind her.

Like footprints in water that quickly dry.

Qiao Dawan's eyes widened.

And the footprint followed Lu Qianye.

A figure appeared behind Lu Qianye, revealing the face of a female ghost.

Qiao Dawang felt his heart clench. He quickly ran behind Lu Qianye and reached out to grab the female ghost, but she disappeared into thin air, causing Qiao Dawang to push Lu Qianye directly onto the ground.

Lu Qianye exclaimed "Ouch!"

I almost fell flat on my face.

"Sister Lu!"

Qiao Dawang suddenly looked at his hand, then looked in surprise at the female ghost who had already run away.

She was smiling at Qiao Dawan.

His expression seemed to say, "I almost killed her!"

damn it!

Lu Qianye supported her aching back, and Qiao Dawan quickly went over to help her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I'm so sorry!"

"it's okay no problem……"

"I'll go pull up radishes with you!"

Lu Qianye scratched his head. "Didn't you just say you weren't going?"

"I go!"

"..."

Lu Qianye thought to herself that she must have lost her mind, still wondering why he was kissing her.

Looking back now, it was a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding.

He actually wanted to play in the dirt and push himself.

"Alright, alright, let's go together. You should have said so earlier."

Qiao Dawang was still very regretful, "Did it hurt when you fell? Let me rub it for you."

"No, I'm a grown woman, I'm not so badly injured by a fall."

Qiao Dawan pulled Lu Qianye away, but after a while, he looked back with a fierce glint in his eyes.

I was already very uneasy.

What exactly is that guy trying to do?!

And so they endured the evening, with Qiao Dawang keeping his eyes glued to Lu Qianye.

Lu Qianye felt a little uneasy looking at it.

Qiao Dawang then said, "Alright, it's almost midnight, I need to prepare to save that child."

"Do you need my help? Come here, put your arm around my waist, and let's sit close together."

"What?"

Lu Qianye picked at her ears, wondering if she had misheard.

Qiao Dawang coughed, "Because of Sister Lu, you have to accompany me to the underworld. For me now, only you, Sister Lu, can bring the little girl back."

"I can't do anything..."

She spoke through gritted teeth.

She really couldn't help with anything related to ghosts and monsters.

What if I end up making things worse?

Qiao Dawang, however, spoke with great conviction.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman immediately knelt down and begged Lu Qianye for help.

Lu Qianye reluctantly agreed, then leaned close to Qiao Dawan's ear and asked, "Then why do I have to put my arm around your waist?"

"Because we're husband and wife now..."

Lu Qianye choked, speechless.

We can only follow what Qiao Dawang said and proceed with the recruitment.

Qiao Dawan sat on the edge of the bed, touching the little girl's forehead with one hand and tightly holding Lu Qianye's hand with the other.

Lu Qianye slowly placed his hand on Qiao Dawan's waist.

"No, tighten it!"
