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

A torrential downpour began outside the cave.

Joey knew that this was normal rain to ordinary people.

But to Joey, it looked like blood.

Hua Ran hid behind Qiao Yi, not even extending her feet forward.

"Ugh~ How disgusting, why is it raining blood?"

Joey tore off a piece of her dress and had Hua Ran wrap it around her feet.

He replied, "Because of the heavy atmosphere of resentment."

The system says that, according to monitoring, the weather outside is sunny, but in this Shiqiao Village, it rains blood every night.

Qiao Yi understood.

"If the sky is clear outside but the interior is shrouded in darkness, the ghosts must have a grievance. If the sky is clear outside but blood is falling inside, the wronged souls must have a grudge. It seems we won't be able to leave this village anytime soon."

Joey asked the system to check the location, and there were several unusual things happening in the village.

In the consciousness space, the originally dark area was lit up, and there were eight red dots on the big screen.

"My goodness, so many... This village is so small. But Bao'er, if we clear them all out, we can earn a considerable amount of mission rewards."

Just as Qiao Yi was about to speak, the system said again, "Baby! There's another mission here, tagged 'revenge.' If you accept it, you can get an amnesia pill."

Hmm? Amnesia medication?

Joey blinked and cautiously turned to look at Hua Ran.

Hua Ran had already wrapped her feet with the cloth she had given her.

He sat on a rock, and when he saw Joey looking at him, he raised his chin and winked seductively at her.

……

If we give him amnesia medication, he'll forget that we were ever intimate, right?

"catch!"

"Revenge" likely refers to taking revenge on the original owner.

Having taken over the original owner's body, I have indeed benefited from it, and I should avenge the original owner.

Qiao Yi waved to Hua Ran.

"Let's go, let's go...home."

"Yes! Let's go home, back to my wife's home~"

Hua Ran happily reached out and took Qiao Yi's hand.

As night fell, the heavy rain turned into a downpour.

The village's stream was murky and blood-red, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Wearing a red wedding dress, Joey and Hua Ran returned to their home on the west side of the village, far from the crowds.

Fortunately, she used her yang energy to cover the top of their heads, so neither of them got wet.

The system said that the original owner had a father, who was the fair-skinned and handsome Old Man Qiao.

When he first acquired the original owner of the body, his wife hadn't even had a chance to look at him before she was killed by a brick falling from the wall.

At this moment, because he was preventing his daughter from being placed in the coffin, Old Man Qiao was taken to the village chief's house for safekeeping, and he would be returned after three days.

The room was empty.

Hua Ran went to light the candles first, but then he suddenly let out a "yelp," pulling Qiao Yi back to reality.

"what happened?"

In the dim candlelight, the flower-dyed fox tail bristled.

Its fox ears were also standing up.

He pointed behind Joey.

"There seemed to be someone there just now... a woman..."

Joey immediately turned around, but there was nothing there.

She frowned; this shouldn't be happening.

Is there anything she can't see with those eyes?

Hua Ran pursed her lips, then hugged her own tail and moved to Qiao Yi's side.

"All I saw was the hem of a yellow floral skirt..."

Qiao Yi told Hua Ran not to be afraid.

There are eight unusual places, one of which is the original owner's home, as shown on the system map.

She hadn't expected to get a good night's sleep tonight.

But Hanazono doesn't think so.

He had already rolled up his sleeves, revealing a gentle and virtuous demeanor, and went to the kitchen to make cabbage and egg noodles for Joey.

He then made the bed, looked at the not-so-large quilt, and chuckled shyly.

Joey glanced around the room and saw Hua Ran wagging her tail.

Hey, what you're thinking is written all over your face.

"My lady...you said the house is so small, and when Father comes back, he'll stay next door. What will we do at night...? Won't Father hear everything? Oh dear, I'll be so shy!"

"..."

"But I'll be patient and try... no matter how much you kiss me, I won't make a sound~"

Still talking!

Hua Ran seemed oblivious to Qiao Yi's glaring gaze.

He continued, "My lady, do you think this place will be too small for us if we have another little fox in the future?"

Foxes are inherently symbols of seduction.

In addition, Hua Ran was born with a delicate and alluring appearance, and even her smile at this moment was like that of a celestial being.

Joey felt a heat rising in her chest.

She sighed and went to the table to eat a bite of noodles.

She was stunned.

How did you manage to make it so delicious?

"No way... Don't compliment me, I'll get shy~"

Joey felt the taste of the noodles was familiar.

But she couldn't explain it right away.

And if she remembers correctly, this is the first time she has ever eaten this kind of noodle before she died.

Just as she was about to savor it again, Qiao Yi noticed that Hua Ran's reddish-brown fox ears had stood up again, and the fluffy tips of the ears were still trembling.

The chopsticks also fell to the ground with a "clatter".

Hua Ran pointed behind Qiao Yi.

He said timidly, "There really is... there is a woman... with long black hair covering her face."

Joey turned around sharply again, but there was still nothing behind her.

"still there?"

"exist……"

exist!?

That's not scientific.

How can I not see myself when I'm here?

Did they apply some kind of Tiger Balm to their eyes? They can't see any ghosts or vengeful spirits.

"where?"

"She is closing in on you, my wife, step by step..."

Hua Ran was terrified, and even her beautiful face revealed a ferocious look like that of a small animal as she bared her teeth at Qiao Yi's back.

"Get away from me, don't come near my wife!"

Qiao Yi remained calm, holding Hua Ran's hand to keep him from panicking.

Although her good eyesight was compromised, Joey could still feel the life force within her when she calmed her mind.

It's definitely getting closer.

Right now, that guy is probably standing right behind her.

Joey picked up her chopsticks, curled her lips into a smile, and let out a "heh." She then concentrated her yang energy at the tip of the chopsticks and turned to poke at it.

A mournful scream erupted from the woman, and the female ghost in the floral yellow dress revealed herself.

Joey grabbed the female ghost's hair with her other hand and kicked her hard.

There was a "rip" sound.

The female ghost was kicked away and pinned to the wall with chopsticks.

And Joey's left hand also has the ghost's hair.

The system let out a laugh in Joey's consciousness space.

"Baozi, you still like violent exorcisms so much. Tsk tsk tsk, look at her head, you've turned it into a bald patch."

Qiao Yi let out a low shout, "Gather Yang!"

A beam of light burst from the chopsticks, and in an instant, the female ghost was burned to a crisp, her body turning into fragments.

She stared intently at Qiao Yi and said, "No one can leave Stonebridge Village... No one! You can't get out... No one can get out..."

Joey scoffed.

Whether you can get out or not is up to me and you. You have your fate, and I have my path.

The female ghost struggled incessantly, and when only her head remained in the dissipating ground, she screamed fiercely.

"Help me...help me! Please help me!"

The female ghost screamed and vanished completely.

Even the tuft of hair in Joey's hand turned to ashes.

But Joey was puzzled.

Who?

Whom is she calling for?

At this moment, the system said, "Baby, we've found the reason why your eyesight is bad!"
