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

Joey's face turned cold after hearing this.

She took a deep breath. Actually, before she came over, she had already guessed what was going on by looking at how much older the old man looked.

But she never imagined that so many people would be killed.

Hua Ran was also somewhat surprised.

He tried to tug at his wife's sleeve, but instead felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

"Ouch...it hurts..."

Joey immediately turned around.

"Was it the spot where you were bitten?"

Hua Ran nodded, but then said, "It shouldn't be the pain caused by my wife, because there's a pulling sensation there now, like something is pulling me..."

Joey thought for a moment, “It’s the severed limb that’s calling you…and what you don’t have now is that hand.”

After saying that, Qiao Yi picked up Hua Ran and addressed the group of pale hands.

“This village has big problems, and I can’t solve them based on your few words alone. You should believe me and wait until I find out the truth and the trial is correct before I make a decision on you.”

Joe paused for a moment.

He looked down at them with murderous intent.

"Furthermore, whether you are seeking help or have some hidden reason, none of this is a reason for you to kidnap my husband and subject him to suffering. Do not let me see you do this a second time, or I will make sure your souls are scattered to the winds, regardless of cause or effect!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ran covered her face with her hands.

I felt so shy being hugged like that in public.

Oh dear, but I'm also so happy to have my ownership declared.

The wife openly tells everyone that I am her husband, without any attempt to hide it.

Almost instantly, Qiao Yi grabbed Hua Ran and ran away.

Upon exiting the cave, Qiao Yi frowned as she looked at Hua Ran.

Q: "The sense of entanglement has intensified again?"

Hua Ran nodded.

"Yes... but it's bearable."

"Don't hold it in. If it hurts a lot, bite me. Which way are we now?"

Hua Ran pointed diagonally downwards and said, "At the bottom of the mountain."

Then she lowered her head shyly.

He muttered to himself, "How could I bite my wife? She should be the one biting me! Men are born to serve women—what pain can't they endure..."

He was about to look up when he blinked his foxy eyes and gave Qiao Yi a shy look.

Then Qiao Yi said, "Hold me tight."

"Eh?"

Joey stood on the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm going to jump!"

"what!"

Without hesitation, Joey fell directly down.

Hua Ran was terrified. Her fox ears tilted to the sides, and she snuggled into Qiao Yi's arms.

The large fox tail also wrapped around Joey's waist.

"My lady, I'm scared! How could you just jump like that..."

Joey lowered her head and kissed Hua Ran's forehead.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Even if you do fall, I won't let you get hurt."

The system couldn't help but make a "tsk" sound.

"You two are a terrible couple, I'm truly speechless."

He took the snacks generated by the system data, stuffed a mouthful into his mouth, and it tasted like dog food.

I had another cup of coffee, and oh dear, it still tasted like dog food.

Soon, Qiao Yi landed at a cave halfway up the mountain. There were many loose stones at the entrance. Hua Ran pursed her lips and said, "My lady, please put me down. The entrance here is narrow, and it's inconvenient for you to carry me."

Does your ankle still hurt?

"It's much better now, and... and my shoulder doesn't have that pulling pain anymore. The last bit of pain was on the mountain. My wife, do you think I made a mistake?"

Joey put the flower dye down and walked ahead.

"Since we're already here, we have to go in and take a look."

The further Qiao Yi went, the more she felt that this place resembled a place for worshipping the mountain god.

In her world, some people love to travel and often drive to the suburbs. They may see small red and blue houses on wild mountains, which are actually built for the mountain gods to live in.

Looking at the current layout, with white wax on both sides, it looked quite proper.

But the further she went in, the more confused Joey became.

She picked up a large piece.

He said, “There are too many pebbles. Hua Ran, do you think these pebbles look like animal claws?”

Hua Ran stretched out her hand and symbolically scratched it twice.

"My lady, doesn't it look like my claws?"

"Your skin is so delicate and flawless, how could it be... wait! You mean to say that these are fox paws?!"

Joey walked further and dug out the fox's tail from a pile of rocks, and finally, at the very bottom, she dug out a fox's head made of stone.

"There used to be fox statues here, but I don't know who destroyed them all... The fox statues were meant to suppress the severed limbs, so they shouldn't be so easy to destroy."

Hua Ran muttered to herself, "Dragon, mistress, could it be a dragon? There are small ditches and such in this village, maybe the dragon spirits inside destroyed the fox statue."

"If it really is a dragon, to put it bluntly, let alone the dragon in this village ditch, even the great dragon in the vast ocean outside would not have the ability to destroy the fox statue."

Joey stated that dragons, as positive spirits, are similar to dogs.

If the dog god could destroy the fox statue, he wouldn't have to wait for her to appear.

Hua Ran pouted and tilted her head to think for a moment.

The fox ears brushed against Joey's face.

"It's not a dragon... but those spirits say it's a dragon, what is it? It's so strange..."

"That thing must be really powerful, because now the severed limb that the fox statue was suppressing is gone. Hey, I know why that guy told me your severed limb was in this village."

It's that guy with the white fox ears.

He came to ask for help.

Someone pushed the statue over and took away the severed hand, making it impossible for him to concentrate his consciousness on it. That's why he sent Joey over here.

Ha, coward!

Hua Ran didn't care where the severed limb went; instead, he listened to his wife say that the thing was quite powerful.

He quickly grabbed Joey's arm.

"My lady, why don't we go back? Let's not look for any severed limbs anymore. I don't want you to confront a powerful guy and get hurt again!"

Qiao Yi patted Hua Ran's head and chuckled, "How can we have a baby if we don't get your body back? Don't you... want to have a baby with me?"

Hua Ran instantly straightened his back.

"Baby...of course we want a baby!"

Joey stood up. "Yeah, so we definitely can't go back. As for me, you don't need to worry about me! Oh, it's already dawn, let's go find Inugami."

Hua Ran, however, had another target for killing in her heart.

He was an old man who thought the female lead had bad intentions.

Now he's the monster that's being called a dragon.

If you dare to harm even a hair on my wife's head, I'll crush you to death!

Then he quickly got up and followed behind Qiao Yi, "My lady, wait for me! Ouch, these pebbles are hurting my feet!"

"Then I'll carry you up? I'll have to carry you up anyway."

Hua Ran nodded shyly.

I love being close to my wife the most!

As a result, the two returned to the house at the entrance of the village.

Then I heard the old woman crying inside.

"My daughter, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly stop breathing? Someone, please help!"

Inugami simply crossed his arms and leaned against the wall.
