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

Joey frowned. "Who's in the way? I haven't finished dealing with things inside yet!"

Just then, the system said again: "Baby, the location map shows that someone is breaking through this Ghost Mountain barrier and rapidly approaching you. No, that person is attacking you! This green dot is..."

In Joey's mind, the green dot on the screen really did flash by very quickly.

Without thinking, she grabbed Hua Ran's waist and darted to the side.

"Hmm... Wife? What's wrong..."

It squeezed his waist so tightly it hurt.

Hua Ran didn't voice his complaint because he noticed that Qiao Yi's expression was off.

He had never seen his wife with such a serious expression before.

The wife appeared completely at ease as she confronted the Taotie.

She wasn't particularly nervous when the dead deer pulled her into the illusion.

Why now...

The next moment, a huge fireball rolled in from a distance and crashed directly into the spot where they had just been standing.

After the fireball disappeared, there was a talisman on the ground.

Joey went over to look, but was suddenly shocked.

His eyes widened even more.

My head is buzzing.

Hua Ran quickly grabbed one of Qiao Yi's arms.

A pair of alluring fox eyes looked at her with great concern.

Joey squatted down and unfolded the talisman. At first glance, there was no pattern on it.

But Joey knew it was drawn with saliva.

Gather a little yang energy at your fingertips, and the pattern on the talisman will indeed appear.

"The talisman on this paper... The Qiao family has arrived?!"

"No...impossible!"

The system was also puzzled, "Don't panic, Baozi."

“But this is indeed a talisman that only the Qiao family can use… Everyone, get out of the screen right now and open your locators to the maximum range. If members of the Qiao family came to this world with me, you should be able to sense the systems they carry.”

Because in Joey's world, anyone who participates in ghost hunting will have a system implanted deep within their soul.

The system will have a built-in anomaly location function.

At this moment, the system hesitated for a moment.

"I...I can check here too."

"Hey, don't be so socially awkward right now! Besides, I just confessed to Hua Ran and said 'I love you.' What did you promise me? I confessed, so you had to come out of the screen!"

Qiao Yi noticed that the system was still a bit hesitant.

She took a deep breath and looked at Hua Ran.

Hua Ran immediately felt a tightness all over her body and shrank her neck.

"W-What are you doing... My wife, you're staring at me like that, I'm so scared..."

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey after locking onto its target.

Although, although he was also somewhat looking forward to it.

But this is outside after all.

Qiao Yi hugged Hua Ran and said, "I love you!"

"Know……"

I love you, I love you! I love you!

Hua Ran was a little confused, her head down, her eyes glancing at Qiao Yi.

"I know, my wife. What's wrong all of a sudden? Are you... are you sick?"

The system within Joey's consciousness said something else.

"That's enough! You're trying to force me out of here, and now you're making me scrimp and save to earn enough for a three-bedroom apartment!"

"Are you coming out or not? If you're not coming out, I'll continue."

Before the system could reject it.

Joey kissed Hua Ran's cheek again.

She discovered a problem.

When I didn't say it out loud, I felt so awkward.

It's like worrying about how you'll get your results before an exam.

But after saying it out loud, ah~ I feel so relieved.

It's just an expression of love!

"Hua Ran, I love you so much. I feel that having you by my side in this world is the luckiest thing in my life!"

"Thump".

Hua Ran's heart began to pound wildly.

Joey continued.

"I hope to walk with you forever!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran was so happy she almost fainted.

He put one hand to his forehead, let out a weak sigh, and then supported himself with the other hand, curling up his legs and sitting on the ground.

The fox's tail swayed left and right, making its fur appear fluffy.

Its fox ears trembled slightly and tilted to the sides.

"My lady, am I dreaming? I feel like I've ascended to heaven..."

Qiao Yi then held Hua Ran's hand.

“You say you’re a spirit after death, I don’t care. Since your soul has a shadow and a sense of reality, maybe your body can be reshaped too. Let’s work together, I’ll help you!”

"My wife..."

Hua Ran was about to cry.

He couldn't believe it.

It seems that after going through this experience with his wife, she became much more honest.

A convoluted mind becomes a very straight mind.

"My lady, what you're saying is true, isn't it? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"No."

Hua Ran pursed his lips, lowered his head, and his face was already very red. He felt like he had palpitations and was having trouble breathing.

On Joey's side, the system finally gave in.

It told Joey to stop and stop abusing dogs in this way.

Joey scoffed.

"It was supposed to be like this: I would confess, and you would come out."

The first thing that appeared on the screen was a fair and flawless hand.

Then came her fair calves.

Finally, the social anxiety system completely left the protection of the screen and was revealed to Joey.

The boy was adorned with silver bells on his hands and feet, and wore a light blue, knee-length unisex shirt. Looking up, his fair, handsome face had a pair of azure eyes.

The princess cut hairstyle and clothing make it indistinguishable between male and female.

It stretches out its arms, and a ring of electronic screens appears around it.

"Location upper limit reading, starting extreme positioning, target is... system."

After he finished speaking, the electronic screens around the perimeter began to flash images continuously, and the map expanded and expanded.

Finally, it suddenly opened its eyes, its azure eyes showing a hint of surprise.

"System detected two kilometers southeast of here!"

Joey narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Precise location, I need to find its host!"

"Yes."

Joey gathered all her yang energy in the soles of her feet.

Hua Ran was still fiddling with her fingers.

He said shyly, "My lady... are you confessing your love to me because you desire my body?"

"Um……"

Hua Ran was still a little hesitant.

"Hmm... It's not impossible to give it to you here. Anyway, I've already buried that woman. Only the Love Tree is still there watching. I'll scare it a little, and it won't dare to look anymore."

As Hua Ran spoke, she unbuttoned her collar.

Then he pondered for a while.

Finally, he mustered his courage and opened his shirt to face forward.

"My lady, come here! Don't be gentle..."

Joey, however, had already taken off in a flash and run far away.

He even sent a telepathic message to Hua Ran, saying, "Stay here and don't move, I'll be right back!"

Hua Ran was stunned for a moment before raising her little fist and punching forward repeatedly.

"You brat, I was about to take my clothes off... and you, you actually ran away!"

Hua Ran was so angry that she slapped the ground.

He even rolled on the ground, his four paws still kicking incessantly.

I must say, it looks very much like a fox now.

He rolled to the riverbank, looked at the filthy water, and instead of getting angry, he ended up in the river...

I saw a blurry version of myself.

Hua Ran was taken aback.

"Eh?"
