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

Hua Ran struggled to wrap her arms around Qiao Yi's neck and rest her chin on Qiao Yi's shoulder.

"My lady, you've made him faint, you have to compensate me with your yang energy! Or perhaps..."

Hua Ran paused for a moment.

He whispered in Joey's ear.

"My wife, you're no good~"

Qiao Yi immediately pinched Hua Ran's waist.

"Nonsense!"

Hua Ran felt pain.

Her eyes were still brimming with tears.

"My wife is bullying me! You pinched me! You were the one who knocked me unconscious, and I only wanted a little compensation, but you won't give me anything... Humph, you're so mean! Now you know everything about me, are you thinking about how to abandon me?"

"No, I'm wondering if two days and two nights would be okay."

"you……"

Hua Ran was taken aback. "What did you say?"

He had reached out to poke Joey's forehead.

Upon hearing this, I was stunned.

"My lady... why... why are you always so blunt all of a sudden!"

Hua Ran was embarrassed, hugging her big tail and covering her face, not daring to look at Qiao Yi.

Because I must have blushed.

Joey then asked, "Would two days be alright?"

"Hmm... Oh dear, I'll do whatever my wife says. Don't ask, I'm shy! There's a woman's spirit here too. She can't move, but she's always watching us."

Joey pouted, thinking to herself, "Now you know there's a woman's soul around here."

The system was even more helpless.

I was thinking, "So you two now realize there's a woman's soul lurking around here!"

Qiao Yi pulled Hua Ran to her feet.

The woman looked dazed, but there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Joey sighed, "You should go back to your place too."

Will I ever... see him again?

Hua Ran pouted, "You should stop ruining people's lives! You can't give them care or protection, and you certainly can't give them...intimate contact..."

Joey quickly grabbed Hua Ran.

Tell him to stop talking.

The woman didn't seem to hear what Joey was saying; she just stared blankly ahead.

Joey, unwilling to give up, asked again.

Do you remember what characteristics the person who lied to you had?

"I have no recollection of him at all... It's as if that person has been removed from my mind."

Joey shook her head in disappointment.

With a wave of his hand, he saw the woman off, guiding her to her final destination.

At the same time, she also sent away the dozens of resentful male spirits in the small house.

Hua Ran shrank back fearfully to the side, when suddenly he exclaimed, "Hey!"

"My lady, we're one short."

"few?"

"Yes, there were forty-three pairs of eyes on the wall before, which means there should have been forty-three male souls. Now there are only forty-two."

After thinking for a moment, Joey instructed the system to immediately activate the review reward she had received.

The system presses the "OK" button on the screen.

The screen immediately flipped back.

From now until Hua Ran gets injured, then from Hua Ran getting injured until they see the Love Tree together.

Further ahead, the place where the male spirits in the house come out to seduce women happens here!

"stop!"

Joey started counting, and sure enough, there were forty-three.

Comparing the current forty-two souls one by one, she discovered that one of the male souls with a red butterfly birthmark on his face was not here.

"A red butterfly birthmark..."

Joey couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Hua Ran also pinched his chin and patted Qiao Yi.

"My lady, my lady, do you still remember the day I followed you back to our residence from the fox palace?"

Qiao Yi knew what Hua Ran was going to say.

She had the same idea.

"That female ghost! That female ghost who cried out 'Help me!'"

"Yes, my wife, do you think someone has been watching us all along? Not the kind of constant surveillance, but someone who knows our movements through our actions."

Hua Ran said that, for example, in Shiqiao Village, the female ghost knew that Qiao Yi had appeared.

Then, in this secret underwater realm, I learned that Joey had resolved the matter.

Joey nodded.

"Perhaps it's not just them monitoring us, but also possibly using a ghost in each place to monitor us..."

Qiao Yi and Hua Ran looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"The remains inside the fox statue!"

After the two finished speaking, Hua Ran happily wagged her tail.

"I love my wife the most!"

Qiao Yi then asked Hua Ran, "Do you remember how you died?"

Hua Ran shook her head.

"I don't remember. After all, it's been twenty years since I woke up in the underground palace in Shiqiao Village."

Joey wants to use the Demon Mirror on Hua Ran.

But the system said it wouldn't work.

"Baby, I just realized that after completing this quest, you only get the Demon Mirror, but you can't use it. It's related to your... bathing and kissing quest. You can only use the Demon Mirror after completing that quest."

I'm crazy...

Forget it.

Swearing over something like this only dirties your own mouth.

Then they came to the Love Tree; no matter what, they had to take the Love Tree out.

Otherwise, Joey wouldn't have been able to completely destroy this place.

She didn't want any more secret realms to lure wandering souls and cause them to make mistakes at the bottom of the river.

Love Tree had always seen things clearly, but he didn't know where he could go if he left this place. In addition, the woman had treated him well in the past, so he never thought about leaving.

just now……

“If you let me follow you, I will agree to leave this place.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran rolled up her sleeves, revealing her fair wrists.

"Can you say that again?"

Love Tree coughed once.

“Young lady, you have to take me with you, otherwise I don’t know where to go. If I go outside and talk to people casually, I’ll be treated as a monster and eliminated. It’s very troublesome.”

Hua Ran was furious after hearing this.

He turned to look at Joey.

"My lady, it's a male again... So you're going to go after the males, aren't you?"

"He is a tree."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran glared at him with her seductive fox eyes and exclaimed, "You, you, you didn't deny that you wanted to take him away!"

“Then I won’t take him with me. I’ll plant him somewhere else. It definitely can’t be here. I have to destroy this secret realm.”

If you destroy it completely, you can get 100 coins from the system.

"Destroy this so I can buy you chicken to eat."

"Buy, buy chicken..."

Hua Ran covered her mouth.

"You're destroying this to buy me chickens? My lady, speaking of which, doesn't all your money come from some strange place? Once you leave Stone Bridge Village, you have money to buy timber, so you have to destroy this secret realm to get money?"

Clever~

It's truly remarkable that Hanazono could understand this so well.

It's better than me having to argue with him all the time.

Upon seeing Qiao Yi nod, Hua Ran covered her mouth with both hands.

His eyes widened.

His heart felt like it was being squeezed.

"My wife..."

"what happened?"

Hua Ran had only one thought: I deserve to die!

My wife doesn't want the tree; she wants to buy me chickens!

She said a few days ago that she would buy him something nice, but it turned out she wasn't just saying it casually.

"I can't believe I only care about trivial things, and I even get jealous!"

"Waaaaah, my wife, I deserve to die! I misunderstood you!"

He turned around and covered his face with his hands, feeling utterly ashamed.

Joey patted him on the shoulder.

"What... my wife, you're comforting me so quickly this time?"
