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

After a while, Qiao Yi removed the barrier and returned to Hua Ran's side.

"See, I told you I'd be back soon."

Hua Ran kept her head down and did not answer Qiao Yi.

"Floral dyeing?"

"Hmm...I heard you."

Qiao Yi thought he was throwing a tantrum, so she took the initiative to hold Hua Ran's hand.

The moment that warm hand touched Hua Ran, Hua Ran's heart softened. She couldn't stay angry at all and just wanted to be held and embraced by Qiao Yi.

"My lady... what did you say?"

"It's nothing. He just agrees with the Love Tree. Like I said, I don't believe in the Love Tree, I only believe in you."

Joey didn't actually want to lie to Hua Ran.

But Hua Ran deliberately concealed the fact that she was a soul, so how could she expose her?

Besides, whether the male vengeful ghost is right or wrong is still up in the air.

When a flower is injured, it bleeds. Is this really a state that a soul can experience?

"Alright, let's smash that fox statue and let me see if it has a severed hand inside."

"Uh-huh!"

They already knew there was a shrine inside the fox statue.

But this time, Joey carefully observed the giant fox statue.

Reach out and touch the outside of the stone statue to let the system analyze the material.

Suddenly, Hua Ran let out a soft moan from behind.

"Um..."

"what happened?"

Joey immediately turned around, and Hua Ran had already fallen to the ground.

"How did you fall!"

Qiao Yi anxiously came to his side, and Hua Ran was delighted, as she had arrived much faster than she had in Shiqiao Village.

That means he's in my heart.

"I wasn't watching where I was going, I didn't know there were steps here..."

Hua Ran got up on her own, but stumbled and fell into Qiao Yi's arms.

"pain……"

Joey lifted his trouser leg and saw that there were three bloody marks on his ankle.

"Where did you bump yourself?! You're bleeding! Quick, quick, don't stand up, sit down, I'll bandage you up!"

The tail behind Hanazono swayed gently, especially the tip, which had a very graceful curve.

Meanwhile, there was also some blood on the inside of its tail.

Um... he injured his foot himself.

"My wife..."

"It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Just bear with it. I carry wound medicine with me, and the pain will subside soon."

Hua Ran watched as Qiao Yi carefully bandaged his wounds, her eyes crinkling with laughter. The wife was not on guard against him.

The more his wife cared for him, the more at ease he felt.

But by the same token, the more he verified it, the more greedy he became.

Want more.

It's as if something's missing if we don't do it this way.

"My lady... I... I've messed things up, please don't worry about me..."

"No."

The system also detects the results at this time.

“Baozi, the soil of the fox statue is mixed with deer blood and snake blood. I think you should understand what’s going on now.”

"Ah... The reason why the severed hand can transform into a spirit is because of the combination of snake blood and deer blood. If the yin and yang are properly balanced, it will be beneficial. If they are not properly balanced and the proportions are not right, it will be a disguised formation that gathers yin, just like the four deer legs and the snake tail in the middle of Stone Bridge Village."

Joey told the system that she just wanted to live a peaceful life in the other world.

The mastermind behind it all always dragged her into it.

Once she caught him, she immediately gave Qiao Dawang extra food, and he had to eat it slowly, biting it one bite at a time.

Joey asked again if Hua Ran could walk.

Hua Ran shook her head.

"My lady, I'll wait for you here. I don't want to cause you any trouble. It was my mistake this time, oh dear!"

He pounded his leg.

"Knowing that my wife has things to do tonight, how could I be so careless? This wicked leg, this wicked leg!"

Joey quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from hitting her.

She then picked him up and carried him around the waist.

This caused Hua Ran to exclaim in surprise.

"Oh, my wife!"

He quickly wrapped his arms around Joey's neck.

"We know the internal structure of the fox statue. It won't affect anything if I carry you down."

Qiao Yi walked briskly, while Hua Ran rested her little head on Qiao Yi's shoulder, looked down, and smiled.

See? They all want to break them up, but no way!

Meanwhile, Joey felt she was growing to love holding Hua Ran more and more.

Because Hua Ran was very light, and most importantly, he was truly as soft as if he had no bones, and his body exuded the fragrance of lotus from the inside out.

They easily bypassed the mechanisms on the first two floors and descended to the third floor.

The mechanism here is the same as the one inside the fox statue in Shiqiao Village.

However, the shrine on the third floor enshrines not a severed hand, but a severed foot.

"Ugh... How disgusting."

Hua Ran couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Joey put him aside and said, "Sure enough, this severed limb is still so shiny and tender, the skin is even better than mine, a living person."

"No, no! The wife is the best. How can she be compared to someone with broken arms and legs?"

"Stay there and don't move. The yin energy contained in this severed foot is greater than that in the severed hand in Shiqiao Village. Perhaps the one in Shiqiao Village was suppressing a Taotie, but this one isn't suppressing anything."

Joey first used a little yang energy to test the broken leg.

When yin and yang collide, ripples immediately spread around the severed foot.

The scenery around Joey changed instantly, with doors opening one after another in all directions.

The doors seemed to slide backward and reappear on a conveyor belt, endlessly repeating, making one dizzy from watching.

The system emitted a gagging sound directly within Joey's consciousness.

"Ugh...no, I'm going to throw up!"

"Me soon too..."

Joey quickly closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

He gathered his own yang energy and then unleashed it violently, shattering all those doors.

At the end of the door stood four people dressed in different colored clothes... Hua Ran.

The system exclaimed in surprise, "Holy crap! Did that severed leg know that nothing else would work on you, so it started attacking you with the magic of love?"

"Uh……"

Joey was also a little frustrated.

To the east, a figure dressed in a black robe with floral patterns appeared even whiter. The robe itself was outrageous; it not only revealed his collarbone but also had a slit at the knee, exposing his two long, white legs. Crucially, he wasn't wearing shoes.

To the west, Hua Ran was dressed in a pure white gauze dress, with only one strand of her black hair tied behind her ear with a hairpin, which was bright red and had a small pendant.

Good heavens... Both of the flower-dyed girls gave Joey gentle smiles.

And they all bowed to Joey.

He said, "Greetings, my lady~"

To the south, Hua Ran, dressed in blue, sat upright on a stool, sword in hand, moving with the agility of a rabbit and the stillness of a virgin.

From the north, Hua Ran, dressed in red, lashed out with a long whip, striking the ground with a "crack." He pointed at Qiao Yi and said, "My lady, how can you look at others? You should only look at me!"

Joey wondered, "Is red the main color for chili peppers?"

And let me tell you, her skin was as smooth and flawless as cream, and she looked absolutely stunning in black, white, blue, and red.

Joey covered her forehead.

"One Hua Jiaojiao is enough for me, let alone... four."

The system snorted.

"Why do I feel like you're drooling with happiness?"

"No, don't talk nonsense, that's impossible!"

Suddenly, the woman in red, with her flower-like fur, questioned Qiao Yi: "My lady, have you been secretly in love with another vixen behind my back?"
