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

The more Joey thought about it, the more she felt there was nothing wrong with it.

"So, this girl isn't asking me to help get rid of the female ghost; she's actually on the ghost's side!"

Hua Ran coughed, covering her injured chest with one hand and her face with her sleeve with the other.

"Children shouldn't use foul language... it sounds bad."

Qiao Yi laughed in exasperation and turned to look at Hua Ran.

"Who's a child? I've come of age."

"But it still doesn't even reach a fraction of my age."

Qiao Yi ignored Hua Ran and quickly moved forward while holding the rope.

Because she saw the woman of the house move her lips, as if she was saying something.

When they went over to listen, they heard the hostess say, "Oh dear, how many people do you need to eat? I wonder if that little Taoist nun is dead or not... Don't ask me to harm people anymore. I've fed you quite a lot these past few days, I even gave you my own child, a girl. What more do you want?"

"I'm afraid I really won't be able to find anyone else. Maybe you should... give up..."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Joey's eyes widened suddenly.

It's him! It really is him!

It was just a guess at first, but I didn't expect to make an unexpected discovery.

The Taoist nuns from before were all murdered by the two of them in concert!

Hua Ran, standing to the side, also became angry.

"So they killed the baby, killed by his own mother... They took advantage of the baby because he couldn't speak, you bastards!"

Qiao Yi and Hua Ran stepped aside.

She couldn't help but say, "Humans are always afraid of ghosts, but this is the first time I've seen a human cooperating with a ghost, and even sacrificing their own child. Bah! They don't deserve to be human!"

Looking at Qiao Yi's expression, Hua Ran's mind raced, recalling Qiao Yi's earlier admission that her parents were killed by monsters.

He immediately felt pity for the relapse of his illness.

Moreover, this feeling is strange; it only applies to the young Taoist nun, Joey.

Could it be... could it be because she kissed me just now?

Hua Ran blushed slightly when she thought of this.

He covered his face with his hands and looked ahead awkwardly.

No way, right?

She kisses me, so I care about her. Am I crazy?

But why is it that the more you look at this little girl, the cuter and more endearing she becomes?

Hua Ran couldn't help but ask.

"Are you alright? I've known for a long time that people are treacherous, after all, I've lived for over a thousand years... You've just left the Taoist temple, you're still greenhorn, it's normal that you don't understand people's hearts... Don't be too sad, after all... you're very strong, you weren't killed by them, you didn't follow in the footsteps of those other Taoist nuns."

Joey didn't speak because she was thinking about something.

Why are they doing this? If the female ghost eats people, why would she ask the woman of the house for help? What is her purpose? It's simply to increase her cultivation level. She could do the same in other places. There's no need to stay in one household, and there's also the risk involved.

Joey was very confused.

This was truly the first time she had ever seen such a ghost.

Humans too, don't they know that doing this is detrimental to their moral character?

Even if you don't know, this is a deal with ghosts.

Isn't she afraid that the female ghost will eat her?

It was at this moment that Hua Ran thought Qiao Yi was lost in sadness. After thinking for a moment, he leaned over and nuzzled her with his neck.

This startled Joey.

"What are you doing so close?"

"I...I just wanted to comfort you."

"Do I need your comfort? Go away, don't get so close!"

Joey's heart was still pounding.

She exhaled, thinking to herself, how could this vixen get so close to me without any scent?

If he had opened his mouth and bit her throat, he probably could have done it.

The thought of this made Qiao Yi feel inexplicably scared.

Hua Ran felt somewhat aggrieved.

"Why are you so stubborn... why are you so unyielding? I was clearly trying to make you feel good!"

"That's the problem. We are humans and demons, and we are different. I am born with yang energy, while you are a demon with strong yin energy. Why are you trying to befriend me?"

"I...I just saw that you seemed very sad."

Qiao Yi pulled Hua Ran along and walked forward, intending to explore all the rooms in the house.

I'm sure I'll eventually see the female ghost in her true form.

As soon as Qiao Yi took a step, Hua Ran said again, "I feel like there might be something in the east wing. Shall we go check it out?"

Joey gave an even colder look.

"You plotted against me? You... lured me to that place so she could reap the rewards?"

As she said this, Qiao Yi immediately grabbed Hua Ran by the neck with one hand and pressed him against the pillar.

The movement was very forceful, causing Hua Ran to experience a sudden pain in her chest and sweat to pour from her forehead.

"I...cough, I didn't..."

"If you didn't, how do you know there's a problem there? Even I, someone with a full Yang life and Yin-Yang eyes, didn't see anything wrong there!"

Hua Ran was being pinched too hard, making it difficult for her to breathe. Her hands were also tied, preventing her from moving, so she could only make "mmm" sounds.

He even tried to kick Joey with one foot.

"Ugh... Ugh! Let... let go!"

Qiao Yi gathered her yang energy into her palm, intending to force Hua Ran back to his original form, completely bind him, and then leave.

Otherwise, she would always feel uneasy.

But during the argument, Hua Ran still revealed her mouth and nose.

"I sense something's wrong there because I'm a fairy who naturally possesses yin energy!"

After hearing this, Joey slowly let go of her hand.

Hua Ran started coughing a lot.

"You... how come you're still like this?"

Qiao Yi ignored Hua Ran, turned around, pulled the rope, and walked towards the other room.

Hua Ran felt that if they couldn't prove they weren't liars, the two of them might start fighting each other at a crucial moment!

Then he coughed and said, "Do you want to know where the baby's soul is?"

Joey remained silent, instead crossing her arms.

I thought to myself, "I'll see what you're up to."

Hua Ran swallowed to ease the discomfort in her throat.

Then he said, "To prove my innocence! I'll show you the ghost of this baby!"

Suddenly, a large, reddish-brown fox tail appeared behind him.

Perhaps because other spells weren't refined enough, when the fox's tail appeared, its ears also started to stick out.

The furry, hungry fox's ears were still trembling, giving her an urge to... strangle it!

Ah, it looks so bouncy and cute.

But soon, Hua Ran's super big and super soft fox tail stretched out in front of Qiao Yi.

"Look, a baby."

He parted his tail slightly and then showed Joey the baby's ghost.

The baby ghost was also asleep, just like a real child, and was even sucking its fingers.

It was cute, but for some reason, Joey's attention was completely drawn to the swirling fox tail.

I want to touch it.

Joey actually reached out and touched it. Ahhhh, the feel of it, the comfort...

Furthermore, she wanted to enter the fluffy ocean and bury her face in the big tail, rubbing it hard.

As a result, her body gradually moved closer.
