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

Hua Ran snuggled into Qiao Yi's arms.

While shrinking back, he couldn't help but look into the river.

Joey patted her flower-dyed hair.

"If you're afraid, then don't watch it."

"No... in case he suddenly tries to harm you, my wife, I'll protect you!"

"Who can you protect? Just stay safe in my arms."

Qiao Yi put her arm around Hua Ran's waist, while Hua Ran lowered her head, smiled, and slowly hooked her fluffy tail around Qiao Yi's waist.

Then look at the dead man in the river; he suddenly changed from lying down to sitting up.

That's right, it's sitting on the river.

As he combed his hair, he said, "Come on over... It's very nice and comfortable here. Lots of people have already come over..."

As he finished speaking, several skulls emerged from the water around him.

Hua Ran was even more shocked after seeing it.

"My lady, he's not someone to be trifled with!"

"I know."

Joey stepped forward, still holding Hua Ran's hand with one hand, and with the other hand at her side, ready to unleash her yang energy at any moment.

"You're no ordinary water ghost, so stop repeating the same old thing. You have no grudge against us, so why are you looking for us?"

The man in the Taoist robe stood up from the water.

He actually made it ashore step by step.

Flowers bloom underfoot, golden-stemmed flowers.

The flowers quickly spread out, forming a circle around Joey and Flower Dye.

Joey was a little confused.

"Golden stem flower, this is a flower of immortals. Even if this cultivator did not attain immortality, he had already achieved great things. How could he have died and become a vengeful ghost..."

Hua Ran muttered to herself, "Greatly accomplished, then how accomplished is the wife? Is she also greatly accomplished?"

"Ah this..."

In Joey's world, although ghost hunting is still the main activity, the levels of gods and immortals are no longer considered.

They all earn points by catching ghosts.

She didn't explain to Hua Ran at all, and simply said, "It's just a little achievement."

Then Joey looked at the man in the Taoist robe.

The man stared blankly ahead.

"The Wuming Mountain is covered with golden-stemmed flowers, but they are all black. There are far more skeletons beneath the flowers than in my river. Would you like to go and see them?"

Hua Ran scoffed.

"What does this have to do with us? We're not looking."

The man sighed.

She said softly, "The fox is not a fox, and the person is not a person. The husband is not a husband, and the wife is not a wife. The fox is the husband, and the woman is the wife. Your bond is so deep..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yi immediately thought of the time she had used the system to judge Hua Ran.

The system analysis also showed that Hua Ran and he had a deep bond.

Hua Ran's eyes darkened, and a murderous intent rose in his heart.

But then Joey suddenly spoke.

"How am I not human?"

The man replied, "There's something else in your mind."

The system made a "whoosh" sound.

"Is he talking about me? Is he some kind of X-ray or CT scan that shows there's a system in your brain...?"

Joey, however, didn't care about that.

If this vengeful ghost could see that there was something else in her mind, then his statement that "a fox is not a fox" must also be true.

Qiao Yi knew beforehand that Hua Ran was impersonating the little fox nailed to the coffin, but her love for her was genuine.

So who exactly is he?

What prompted Hanazono to speak up?

These are all problems.

Soon, the vengeful ghost man said, "It's time. See you another day."

He retreated back into the stream, and the golden stem flower disappeared with him.

As the rooster crowed three times, Qiao Yi and Hua Ran opened their eyes.

"Its daybreak."

Hua Ran harbored a slight resentment.

"I've been in this dream for so long, and my wife hasn't even slept yet. And she still says the fox isn't a fox? Are my ears and tail fake?"

Joey knew, of course, that it wasn't fake.

They were talking about some very internal things.

Hua Ran gently patted Qiao Yi's back, letting her little head rest against her chest, and said, "My lady, sleep a little longer, at least lean on me for another hour."

Joey can't go to sleep anymore.

She stretched her hand out from under the covers, opened her palm, and inside was a talisman drawn in blood.

Hua Ran was shocked after reading it.

"Wife master!"

The red blood on the talisman instantly flowed down, as if melting.

But soon, the entire piece of paper turned into black smoke and disappeared from Joey's hand.

At the same time, the system said in Qiao Yi's consciousness: "Baozi, a new mission has appeared. Go to Wuming Mountain and you can get a Demon Mirror. Mission notes: This mirror can see the cultivation level of any spirit or vengeful spirit in this world, so you will know what state Hua Ran is in."

Joey naturally accepted the mission.

only……

"Tongtong, spread out the map to the maximum extent and take a look at the locations of the anomalies around us. I feel something is wrong."

Hua Ran stared at Qiao Yi's hand, which had just had the blood talisman on it, a glint of green light flashing in her eyes.

Once Joey was fully seated...

Hua Ran also got up and hugged Qiao Yi from behind, putting her arms around Qiao Yi's waist.

Her long, black hair not only covered her back, but also had a few strands brushing against Joey's neck.

"My dear wife, even if you're not in the village, wherever you go... you can't leave me behind."

Qiao Yi felt Hua Ran's body trembling slightly.

His voice trembled with tears.

Joey laughed and said, "Of course I have to bring you along, you're my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran's eyes lit up with a smile, and she kept giving Qiao Yi flirty winks.

"I want to be more than just your eyes; I want to be more than just your eyes!"

His white jade-like hand brushed across Joey's chest.

"I want to be your precious sweet treat~"

Joey couldn't help but complain.

"From now on, your name will be Hua Gan (花肝)."

Hua Ran gently pushed Qiao Yi.

"Ugh, you rascal! Why do you always tease me like that..."

After Qiao Yi stretched, the system said, "Baby, I found it. There's a red dot 1,300 meters away from here. It's a big red dot. It should be a river, but there are no mountains nearby."

"No mountains?"

"Yes, there are no mountains within a five-kilometer radius, and further away, the terrain doesn't look like there are any mountains."

Joey suggested they go check out the red dot first.

She said to the dog god, "You don't need to come along. You stay here with my father."

Inugami kept his head down and remained silent; he hadn't said a word since he started following Joey.

As for the little boy Taotie.

He was drooling over the food Old Man Joe had made.

"Master...I want to eat the food that Master Father cooks..."

Upon seeing this, Hua Ran quickly grabbed Qiao Yi's hand and walked away.

“My lady, let’s go together! I don’t want to be with them either, I just want to go with you.”

Joey didn't say anything.

When she reached the riverbank, she heard someone crying. She went closer to look and saw a corpse that had turned white from being submerged in water.

Hua Ran gasped immediately after seeing it.

"Wife, wife master!"

"Don't be afraid."

Immediately afterwards, many corpses floated down from upstream, all of them white and with their eyes wide open.

Hua Ran wrapped her arms around Qiao Yi's neck, her little face unable to resist pressing against Qiao Yi's chest.

"My lady, this is too much."
