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

Wait until the smoke clears and the clouds disperse.

Joey's talisman was already in pieces, but the steam that suddenly came crashing down showed no sign of entering and simply disappeared from above.

Hua Ran looked up and clapped her hands.

"My lady, you're amazing!"

"That person was just testing the waters, but I only used forty talismans, it was just a matter of a spit."

But Joey felt that the person was not simple.

Just as she was about to speak, the system said again, "Baby, the system indicates that an indiscriminate fireball attack is coming."

"Damn it, has my older brother become so twisted that he'd side with the enemy just to kill me?"

Joey hugged Hua Ran again and dodged to the side, just like the fireball that rolled over in the underwater secret realm last time.

Finally, it turned into a talisman.

Various small screens also appeared around the system, enabling a maximum search range.

"Baozi, a system fluctuation of the same type as mine has appeared about one kilometer away from here. Shall we go?"

"go with!"

This time, Joey didn't let go of the flower dye.

Instead, he grabbed the flower dye and rushed straight to the designated location.

She sprinted fast enough, and this time the distance was short.

Five hundred meters away, Qiao Yi bit her tongue, squeezed out a drop of blood, and conjured a magic seal out of thin air, which she then threw at the man in the black cloak on the mountaintop.

But the man immediately dodged away.

The system provides a reading.

"It's getting farther and farther away, two kilometers, three kilometers, Baozi, it's no longer within the tracking range."

"I know, it was my impulsiveness. I shouldn't have attacked him from so far away; I should have gotten closer..."

But Joey couldn't contain her anger.

Upon landing, Joey let out a breath.

"Forget it, as long as I'm alive, Qiao Zan will probably come back to kill me."

Hua Ran also got down. He saw that his wife's expression was not good. Even though he knew that a man should not interfere in his wife's affairs, he still couldn't help himself.

"My lady... both fireballs were from the same person, that person is..."

"He is the one who killed me, he is my enemy."

Hua Ran's eyes darkened upon hearing this.

He had already witnessed his wife's formidable nature.

A woman like the wife would only fall for someone's schemes if she were plotted against by someone she loves and cherishes most.

Hua Ran wanted to slap herself.

Why ask?

It reminded the wife of sad things.

He leaned closer, put his arm around Qiao Yi, and said, "My wife, whoever killed you, I will eat them up, chew them up piece by piece, let them feel the pain, and then let them die."

Qiao Yi didn't say anything, so Hua Ran stretched out her fluffy tail and brushed it against Qiao Yi's face.

“My lady, look how shiny and soft my fur is. Touch it, and it will make you feel better.”

"You can pinch me if you want, but I'll cover my mouth and not move around."

Joey, who was initially feeling down, burst out laughing upon hearing this.

"gone back."

Hua Ran looked at Qiao Yi's expression and it seemed like she had improved a tiny bit.

He said happily, "Yes!"

Back at the Su family home, Qiao Dawang stood in the center of the courtyard, with the boy standing far away. Behind the boy was a male spirit.

This must be the deceased Zhengfu, the one who wrote "The Su Family Has a Wrongful Accusation".

Hua Ran tilted her head to look at the spirit, and muttered, "He doesn't have a big, fluffy tail either. How could a boy mistake me for someone else? Kids have such bad eyesight."

Joey tugged at the flower dye.

"The child mistook you for someone who looks exactly like you. If I'm not mistaken, your severed limb has developed consciousness over the years due to its excessive yin energy. The one who was trying to drown you in the river, and the one you saw in the cellar before, are all him."

Joey didn't know the specifics yet, because it was the first time she had encountered something like this.

After all, in the world before they died, ghosts were simply sent away after being caught; there was no such thing as dismemberment into souls.

Hua Ran looked miserable.

Joey added, "The giant snake exchanged secrets with me... it was probably tricked."

Hua Ran quickly chimed in, "You were tricked by that liar, right? He deceived the White-Robed Priest and the River Couple, it was all his doing."

Joey nodded.

“The delicate man made a wish to the snake god, and it came. But at that time it was just a little spirit. Later, someone was doing feng shui for the Su family and buried a jar of blood when no one was looking. That's when it started to get greedy.”

Joey said that the snake spirit could absorb a lot of yin energy just by circling around the blood jar.

Its greed grew so great that it began to grow eyes all over its body.

Its snake offspring dare not even look at it.

It also couldn't help but force its granddaughter to do bad things, and even made her become a parasitic twin.

It enters the fetus's body while the child is still a fetus and gradually replaces the fetus.

In this way, his granddaughter could take human form without cultivation, which could be considered a shortcut.

But the further it went, the more it felt that everything it was doing was wrong.

It feared retribution and didn't want to continue.

But the person who had consulted on the feng shui for the Su family appeared in its dream, warning it that if it didn't continue, and prevent its descendants from absorbing yin energy and doing evil deeds, that person would... wipe out its entire clan.

Hua Ran listened and tugged at one of the fox ears.

"That bastard... he's going too far!"

"There are even worse ones."

Joey stretched her body.

“I touched the walls of the cellar before, and they were already stained with the blood of the Deer Immortal. This means that the bastard saw that two ordinary Yin gatherings could not promote the regeneration of the severed limbs, so he used the Deer Immortal and wanted to make the snake spirit even more powerful.”

Hua Ran thought for a while.

The two fox ears stood up.

He grabbed Joey's arm and looked around warily.

"That bastard made my severed limb grow back, is he trying to replace me? I don't want that! My wife is mine, she can't belong to anyone else, not even someone who looks exactly like me!"

Joey smiled and patted the flower dye.

She had no idea she was so important.

It was so important that even mentioning something casually made Hua Ran feel like she was about to lose it.

Qiao Yi told Hua Ran not to rush and then pecked Hua Ran's lips.

Hua Ran immediately snuggled into Qiao Yi's arms.

"My lady... there's still a spirit watching over us..."

Joey thought to herself, "Who was it that started spouting nonsense about a male ghost?"

Now I'm getting shy.

"I just wanted to calm you down. Then the snake spirit swallowed me and told me that it was going to die because if it brought up that person, it would break a certain restriction and that person would come to destroy its offspring. It asked me to protect the little snakes and then told me about that person."

"Eh?"

Hua Ran's wagging tail stopped abruptly.

They instinctively curled up.

“My lady, the first two times, those people said they couldn’t remember that bastard’s voice or appearance. Compared to the female Taoist in the secret realm at the bottom of the river, this snake spirit’s cultivation is far inferior. How could it know?”

Joey smiled.

"The snake also said it didn't remember, but it had a dream. In the dream, the person was walking very fast and seemed to say something about his magic. By observing its dream, I can find relevant clues."
