Could not contain himself/herself any longer

have to be careful."I wouldn't want to get too close to her... Being near her, I had to cover my nose and it was rude, but not covering it made me feel sick.While ordinary people might not notice, my...Jiang Qiyun's cool voice, like a reassurance, made me close my eyes slightly and take a deep breath.

I turned my head, and his chest was right behind mine.

Jiang Qiyun lowered his eyes and looked at her, his brows furrowing even deeper: "Your face is hurt"

I reached out and touched it. Fortunately, it was just a scrape: "I'm fine, just a little scratch."

Jiang Qiyun seemed a little annoyed. He raised his eyes and glanced at Officer Ma, whose body was out of control.

Officer Ma's eyes were bloodshot, almost bursting from their sockets. His body twitched mechanically as Mu pressed down on his wrist, the sound of bones cracking echoing through the tense silence.

A sliver of silver flashed from Jiang Qiyun's sleeve, a fine soul-snaring rope ensnaring Officer Ma's spirit and pulling out a hazy figure.

"...Your Majesty... This person's life is not yet over..." The arriving Land God trembled, trying to dissuade him for fear that Jiang Qiyun would imprison him with a wave of his hand.

"I just wanted to incapacitate him." Jiang Qiyun looked down at me and explained.

Whew… I'm scared to death. Jiang Qiyun made a move. He, such a noble immortal god, shouldn't be tainted by karma because of a trivial matter in the mortal world.

The Land God called forth two trembling little demons. They half-entrapped Officer Ma's soul, preventing his body from being used against me any longer.

That evil eye seemed to have lost its power, there was no blood flowing, but it still bulged and even turned this way and that, eyeing us.

"What are you looking at!" Chong Mo angrily raised his foot, ready to stomp over.

My older brother quickly stepped in and stopped him: "This man is just being used. If we blind him, it would cause unnecessary trouble in the world. Let my younger brother handle this man. Assaulting a crowd with gunfire is enough to put him away."

"Could it be that Officer Ma has also been to that casino" I whispered.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "Just check it out...People with ill intent are indeed easily controlled by the mirage pearl."

Now, I've seen the true face of the mirage pearl with my own eyes. Could I have also been controlled by its illusions

I worried, rubbing my eyes, hoping I wouldn't turn into a red-eye too.

Jiang Qiyun reached out and pulled my hand down, gripping my wrist tightly within his sleeve.

"Some couldn't hold back any longer." He glanced faintly at Chong Mo and said, "Don't you go back and report to your demon lord"

"Then you took the talisman too! What can I do now!" Chong Mo snorted.

Jiang Qiyun's eyebrows twitched slightly: "After sending Mu Xiaoqiao back to the Shen family, the amulet's effect will be almost over."

"Hmm I don't need him to send me. My brother is here, we can just drive back home all night."

" ... to prevent a sudden attack." Jiang Qiyun whispered to me, "Chong Mo has more experience dealing with mirage pearls and demons than you. I... be right back."

"Where are you going!" I grabbed his shirt nervously.

Now I've grown indifferent to life and death, but what scares me most is if Jiang Qiyun disappears.

"I have to go back to the upper realm. This situation requires me to speak with certain esteemed gods in person." Jiang Qiyun patted my shoulder. "I'll be back soon."

"You talk fast, who knows how long it'll be..." I mumbled, "Don't disappear for months again..."

"Why don't you come with me" Jiang Qiyun said with a smile.

I wish I could too, but the problem is that I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I risked my life, I could only see the gate of the Qinghua Changle Realm. Which Immortal Venerable could I possibly meet! Besides, I can't fly on clouds or ride the mist; I have absolutely no way to enter.

"Just stay put and have more children. It's more useful than you constantly doing these dangerous things," Jiang Qiyun hummed softly, pinching my chin.

Oh my... why bring this up again!

The small building is almost too crowded, and there's another one on the way! And three children aren't enough...

Jiang Qiyun ordered the Yin soldiers and ghosts to take Officer Ma to the foot of the small hill. My brother called my uncle, and after hearing this, my uncle felt that the matter was very serious and was preparing to personally take over the case.

Originally, my uncle wanted me to investigate the missing souls here. But unexpectedly, someone in our own organization has been susceptible to illusion. This is a serious issue. If gun control fails, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Jiang Qiyun saw that everything here was arranged properly, and instructed my brother: "Remember well, don't run around anymore, guard your own home."

"Huh" My brother paused, then nodded. "I'll take good care of Xiao Qiao, you can rest assured."

"...It's not just her." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly, as if hinting at something.

It's strange, he usually doesn't speak like this.

I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but before I could, he patted my head and disappeared.

"Hey, are you guys from the Demon Realm planning something big" I asked Mo in a dark voice.

"What Do I need to be bullied by you just because I'm causing a stir!" Chong Mo angrily rebuked, "Have you seen me cause any trouble!"

Actually, besides being hot-tempered and stubborn, Chong Mo doesn't seem to have committed any innocents killings or caused chaos.

Yin Su Bai and Chong Mo's purpose was very clear, it seemed they were solely after the Ling Zun Zhenling Fu. They tried to minimize their appearances in the world as much as possible besides that.

Then, are those demonic disturbances felt recently, mostly caused by another group of demon gods

My brother suddenly pinched my arm and whispered, "Hey... that woman seems a little off."

Woman

At the end of the alley was the rental house where the murder had taken place. It was cold and dark now, who would walk here for no reason

I stared hard. Wasn't this the temporary wife of that Daqiang I saw this afternoon

All the residents around this haunted house have bolted their doors, yet she still dares to wander about. Isn't she fearless

We hid in the shadows, watching her carry a black plastic bag up the stairs.

My brother stopped me. He was better at dealing with people than I was. After we heard the door upstairs open, we crept up the stairs, sticking to the walls.

"What are you doing again—" Daqiang recovered quite a bit after I dispersed the negative energy from him today.

He seemed to dislike this woman very much.

"You said you're broke, but where's the goddamn mahjong money! You spend all day gambling and won't even sell something when you're out of money! You've emptied my wallet!" Daqiang's angry voice echoed through the house.

The two-story terraced house was cold and quiet, with the opposite houses also closed up. The sound stood out distinctly in the night.

The woman remained silent, seemingly resigned to the strong man.

“ ... I haven't gone out to work lately, I only have this hundred yuan left. Take it and get lost, don't come looking for me again, I... ah——!!”

A scream startled us. My brother jumped up, kicking the slightly ajar door open with one foot!

I'm worried about my brother, but I'm just a coward when it comes to human fights.

Chongmo was even more eager than I, he pushed me aside and rushed in.

Several muffled sounds came from inside the house, followed only by Daqiang's howling. I peeked through the door frame—

My brother is so badass, he used a bulletproof vest as a bag and rushed in, covering people with it, then he zapped them with a stun gun. Before the woman could react, she was knocked unconscious.

Daqiang was slashed on his back, but luckily he was wearing several layers of clothing. The knife only broke through a few layers, leaving him with just a bloody scratch.

My brother stepped on the woman who was unconscious, and when he opened her jacket, the woman's face was twisted. Even though she was passed out, one of her eyes wasn't closed!

Another person transformed by the Mirage Pearl!

"Daqiang, tell me the truth, what are you up to!" I stared at him. Why was this happening again and again with people around him!

Daqiang was so scared he wet himself. He hid at the foot of the bed, tears and snot streaming down his face: "I, I really don't know... I usually just do some hard labor..."

"You still won't say even when you're at death's door! What exactly is this woman to you!"

"She...she...oh, she's the wealthy woman I conned—"

My brother almost slipped on his foot, what does he look like He's still a rich woman!rvival of the descendants of the Shamanic clan."The old monster wanted to become the ruler of the Ghost Realm, but he was not the chosen one. He saw a way out, learned some secrets, and escaped. He wa...
