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

Joey patted the floral stains off her clothes and said, "Alright, we've lured him out."

Hua Ran playfully retorted, "What? You actually knew I wanted to lure him out, so you cooperated with me, my wife?"

Joey sighed, "Although you are very bold, this is the first time you've pounced on me and pulled down my collar, and... you were very deliberate and nervous."

"Where is it?"

Joey pointed to her wrist.

"Your tail has been wrapping around my wrist very tightly. Usually, it's just a gentle wrap, but this is the first time it's been this tight."

Hua Ran felt embarrassed by what Qiao Yi said.

Big Tail quickly released Joey's wrist.

He even held it up and blew on it.

"I'm sorry... but my wife, you really are on the same wavelength as me..."

Hua Ran said that since they had seen the true face of the so-called immortal mountain, they should definitely see the male ghost.

With that guy's cultivation level, how could he not know they were there?

If you keep it bottled up, you might be thinking about bad things.

Hua Ran delicately got up from Qiao Yi's body.

He glanced at Qiao Yi again with his foxy, alluring eyes.

He thought to himself, "There's still something he hasn't said yet."

That's because the wife of that male vengeful ghost said those things about herself, like it wasn't true love, pshaw!

The husband is responsible for the wife's debts; it's best to watch him be favored while feeling stifled inside.

As she was thinking this, a hand appeared in front of Hua Ran.

"Can't you get up? Come on, let me help you up."

"Ah...my wife, I can get up...I was just...just spacing out..."

Upon hearing this, Joey turned to look at the riverbank.

Hua Ran's mouth opened slightly, and after realizing what was happening, she slapped herself first.

You're so cheeky!

The wife's mind is convoluted; if you say she's not considerate, she's like a block of wood; if you say she's considerate, she can bring tears to your eyes.

I'd rather say I fell and hurt my foot and can't get up.

Meanwhile, the male vengeful ghost in the river had come ashore. He glanced at Qiao Yi and Hua Ran and smiled, "You two still came. We are truly destined to meet."

Hua Ran stood up and snorted.

"It's not like you're appearing in my dreams every day!"

The male vengeful ghost had a worried look on his face. "Actually... I never thought you would actually come. I've been begging for help for many years, trying to communicate with my fellow Taoists who can sense the outside world. Every time I appeared in their dreams, either they couldn't get in, or they wanted to eliminate me first..."

Hua Ran shielded his wife behind him.

"Help! What do you need help with?"

Could it be that he's taken a liking to his wife?

Joey chuckled behind him.

"Hua Ran, your tail is wrapped too tightly around my waist..."

"Ah... oh..."

The male ghost couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

He then said, “My wife was deceived. Someone told us the location of this mountain in the water and led us here to cultivate. However, during this process, that person told my wife that if she wanted to become an immortal, she had to sever her emotional ties.”

In other words, they killed each other.

“I changed the lottery, and changed it so that I would be killed by her, because I realized that we had already fallen into that person’s trap and could not escape.”

The male ghost said that the person seemed to be watching them the whole time.

everywhere.

If he doesn't make a choice, his wife will fall into demonic ways more quickly.

It was only after he died and sank to the bottom of the river that he discovered Wuming Mountain was not a sacred mountain at all, but rather a desolate and disgusting place.

"My wife must have been blinded by some powerful magical artifact... She can't see anything and doesn't even know that she's channeling yin energy into the fox statue."

As Joey listened, the operation seemed very familiar.

She looked at Hua Ran.

"What do you think of this technique..."

Hua Ran nodded immediately.

"It's just like the method used by the person behind the white-robed priest in Shiqiao Village. In a word, it's deception!"

Joey then asked the male vengeful ghost, "Do you remember what that guy looked like, his voice, and his height?"

The male vengeful ghost shook his head.

"I don't remember... The most important thing is that that person should have been very close to us, because that guy could even sow discord between the wife, but I can't remember anything, I don't know if that person was male or female, tall or short."

Joey guessed it.

There's no need for a trial at all.

Joey gritted her teeth.

She was angry for the people who were deceived, and also angry that she always got involved in these kinds of things.

"Ha, fine... fine, he's bothered me again and again, I want to chop him up!"

The sudden murderous intent that Joey exuded startled even the male vengeful ghost.

So strong.

They are all accomplished masters. Is it possible that Joey, who is so young, has already mastered the Dao of Nature?

Joey said, "I'm not targeting you, so you don't need to be afraid. Tonight I'll take care of that severed hand first, and in a couple of days I'll help your wife regain her senses. But... you have to leave first."

"I……"

“If you don’t leave, I won’t save your wife. My so-called departure is to go to my final destination, to return to the natural cycle, and to be reincarnated.”

The male ghost nodded reluctantly.

Joey pulled Hua Ran toward the fox statue.

The male vengeful ghost called out to her again.

"Miss, may I speak to you in private? Please come here."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran bared her teeth at the male ghost.

His fox tail no longer relaxed, and his ears stood up.

He curled up his arms and placed them directly in front of his chest.

It's a big, bristly fox.

"What do you mean? Let me tell you, our darling is beautiful, kind-hearted, and strong. If you try to seduce her, I'll bite you to death!"

Joey patted the flower dye.

"You stand here, I'll be right back."

"My wife..."

Joey and the male vengeful ghost came to the bottom of the bridge to talk.

Joey deliberately set up a barrier around the two of them.

The male ghost said, "Do you still remember what I said when I entered your dream to lead you here? The fox is not a fox. I wasn't lying. It's just that he... seems to be a soul after death, just like me."

"what?!"

This surprised Joey greatly.

"Impossible. I can see and touch his physical body, and he comes and goes with me day and night without any problems. We're even out in the sun. How could he be a ghost wandering around?"

"Don't worry, young lady. I am also a cultivator. I have a special ability: I can see a person's true nature of life and death the moment I see them. So even if I am not as good as you in other aspects, I will never be wrong in this."

Joey fell into deep thought.

The system is also a bit strange.

"You know what, Baozi, I've thought about taking some of the flower dye's nails or strands of hair to determine the cause, but because it has never fallen off, I... haven't been able to do it yet."

Qiao Yi pursed her lips, "If he really is a wandering soul, how powerful must he be... to let the soul be exposed to the sun, to make his soul have a shadow?"

On the other side, Hua Ran couldn't hear what his wife was saying. He was anxious, so he raised his hand and cast a spell to eavesdrop.

Unexpectedly, the spell encountered a barrier.

Hua Ran's eyes widened instantly.

"She said she trusts me... but she doesn't seem to trust me at all!!"
