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

All the way to the main hall, Qiao Yi kept her arm around Hua Ran.

The servants tried to separate the two, but couldn't. They assumed their clothes were stuck together by the collar buttons. Fearing they would delay the auspicious time for Zhao Daxian's exorcism, they simply carried the two away.

Qiao Yi used her consciousness to tell the system in her brain: "System, connect to the outside world through the screen at this time."

"Okay, baby~"

After pressing a few keys, the entire main hall appeared on the screen.

In the very center was an offering table with a memorial tablet on it. In front of the tablet was a water basin, and on either side of the tablet were two white candles.

Beyond that, there is nothing.

"Everyone, bring the memorial tablets closer."

"Okay~"

There were only two characters written on the memorial tablet.

Xia clan.

man……

Joey knew that in matriarchal countries, married men usually only had a surname left.

Seeing that Qiao Yi was silent, the system asked, "Baozi, do you have any ideas?"

"I'm thinking……"

The system nodded. "Speak freely here. No one outside, whether human or spirit, can hear you."

Joey simply said.

“I was thinking how nice it would be if Hua Ran could come over and watch this with me on the big screen. Right now, he's pretending to faint in my arms; he must be so lonely.”

Joey still had so much to say.

"Besides, the ground is very hard. Even if his upper body falls into my arms, his lower body will still be on the ground."

"Also, it's already autumn, and the temperature is lower at night than during the day. What if the flowers get frozen? At least let them come in so it doesn't feel as cold as outside."

The system raised an eyebrow and slightly opened its mouth.

He was speechless for a moment.

I told you to speak freely about the strange phenomena and mysteries outside, and this is what you tell me?

Soon after, the system slapped itself in the mouth.

"I shouldn't have asked such a stupid question! Didn't you eat enough dog food? Honestly, my stomach must be too big!"

Joey looked down at her hands.

"Tongtong... how about we bring Hua Ran's consciousness in as well? You see, when I hold him and we sit together in the center of the scales for judgment, his consciousness is actually in that state."

The system pouted angrily.

"I have social anxiety, and I don't know what to say if we meet, so goodbye for now."

Joey looked disappointed.

The system rolled its eyes, thinking to itself that it had really gotten to the fox and forgotten about the system.

Okay, the negotiation failed, so she continued watching.

Then a young woman dressed in a Taoist robe walked over.

The servants on both sides treated her with utmost respect, calling her Zhao Daxian'er.

Zhao Daxian let out a burp and asked, "Are the water basins I requested ready?"

"It's ready. Look, it's placed right in front of the memorial tablet."

Zhao Daxian added, “You don’t need to be so reserved. I guarantee that after this exorcism, your Miss Su will be more energetic and vibrant, and she will gain weight very quickly.”

A moment later, Miss Su also came in, all by herself, without that delicate man by her side.

Furthermore, Miss Su looked unwell and spoke in a much softer voice.

"Great Immortal, you must get this done for me this time. Money is no object! This woman surnamed Qiao's life is also no object. As long as you can get rid of that bitch and restore my health, I guarantee you will live a life of comfort and ease for the rest of your days."

She pointed at Joey.

This indicates that Joey's family came from another province and lived in a dilapidated temple, suggesting that the family was not wealthy.

She asked someone to check the household registration, but the Qiao family was not on the household registration.

Chatting with Old Man Qiao, I learned that they didn't have any relatives elsewhere.

In other words, no one cares about their deaths, and no one investigates.

"So their family is the most suitable to act as substitutes for ghost catchers! Master Zhao, you have to... eliminate this threat forever!"

Zhao Daxian nodded.

"Then you'll still need to use my card."

With that, Zhao Daxian changed the "Xia Shi" plaque to the "Deceased Husband Xia Shi" plaque.

“There are many men with the surname Xia. If I summon their souls, what if I summon another Xia? Only your husband, Xia, is the soul that needs to be sent away.”

Miss Su didn't dare to look, and could only say yes while covering her face with her hands.

"Um, you do it, I'll stay outside..."

Joey understood now.

The four blood-stained characters, "[The Su family has a grievance]", most likely refer to the grievances of the Xia family mentioned on the memorial tablet.

Miss Su is a local tyrant in Bianliang. She can find out who the people in Bianliang are just by asking around.

That's why they approached Old Man Qiao, who seemed to have no burdens, hoping to send Xia's soul to their dilapidated temple by sending mulberry and poplar trees.

As a result, I accidentally gave away other things as well.

And snakes...

The door was closed, and all the servants in the main hall went out, leaving only Zhao Daxian wandering around in front, muttering something in a mystical manner.

Joey took the opportunity to open one eye and look at Hua Ran.

He found that Hua Ran was nestled in his arms and didn't move.

Delicate and adorable.

Joey quietly reached out and pinched his waist.

Hua Ran trembled slightly.

But he persisted and still didn't open his eyes.

Joey reached out and pinched the fluffy, flower-dyed tail again.

This time, Hua Ran opened her eyes and tried to bite Qiao Yi's nose.

Her eyes held a hint of reproach.

Qiao Yi silently shushed him, then pointed at Zhao the fortune teller, who was chanting, "Revengeful spirit, don't be impatient, you will soon go with someone else..."

Joey put two fingers together and struck the leg of the altar table directly with her yang energy.

The offering table collapsed with a crash.

Startled, Zhao Daxian let out a scream and jumped up to run outside.

"Oh dear, a wronged spirit... a wronged spirit with grievances!"

Running to the door, Qiao Yi shot out another ray of yang energy, which struck Zhao Daxian'er's leg.

Zhao Daxian scrambled out, and soon, chaos erupted outside.

Then Qiao Yi told Hua Ran all of her analysis.

And then gently pinched Hua Ran's little nose.

"You tolerate being pinched on the waist, you tolerate being pinched on the tail, you're not as sensitive as you usually say, are you just pretending all the time?"

The flower dyes the flat mouth.

He thought to himself, "That naughty girl is waiting for him here."

Her eyes reddened, and she looked utterly aggrieved. She covered her face with her fluffy tail, and her voice trembled with tears.

"I...I endured it, and you didn't even know...and you're blaming me. Who did I do this for?"

However, Hua Ran had barely finished speaking.

A soft call suddenly came from very close to them.

"Daddy..."

Hua Ran and Qiao Yi turned around instantly.

There was a boy who looked about five or six years old, with completely black eyes and no whites.

He stood on the ground with his bare feet.

Joey knew that he was a spirit after death.

The little boy stepped forward towards Hua Ran and called out again, "Daddy~"

"calls me?"

The little boy jumped right onto Hua Ran's fluffy tail, "Mmm~ Daddy, you're out! I missed you so much!"

Hua Ran grabbed Qiao Yi's hand.

A very tense explanation.

"My lady, I...I...even if I'm just a ghost, I was innocent before you. You've seen the chastity flower; I can't possibly have a child!"
