me to jump out a window... The higher-ups have noticed the unusual activity here, and I reckon the Public Security Bureau will soon form a special task force to investigate. But how do you investigate...Xi Lingzhou looked rather frightening. Seeing my gaze, she sneered coldly, "What You've seen me like this before, there's no need to be so afraid, is there"

My brother yelled, "Are you afraid of you going crazy! You look like a monster as it is. Be honest and gentle, okay And stop charging around like a wild boar! Who wouldn't be scared!"

She gasped in indignation, stamping her foot petulantly.

But she had just awakened her spiritual energy, and her whole body was still in a dizzy state. She couldn't even stand steadily leaning against the wall. Her legs were so weak that she took a few steps back, almost falling backwards!

It was close!

Because a man dressed all in black suddenly appeared behind her, and thrust a cold, sharp knife towards her neck!

"Ah!! Brother!" I shouted in fright — when did this guy get here!

My brother and I almost moved at the same time, charging toward that man.

Thankfully, Xi Lingzhou tilted his head at the crucial moment!

The blade sliced across her neck, cutting through flesh and bone. Blood spurted out instantly.

Xi Linzhou softly fell to the ground. I took off my coat and helped her press on her wound, pressing hard. While my brother was fighting that man, I dragged Xi Linzhou over here.

She gasped for breath as she collapsed to the ground, gritting her teeth: "Mu Xia Qiao... you... you... are you going to suffocate me!"

"Shut up! You're courting death, aren't you!"

I seized the opportunity to snatch the puppet back. With Jiang Qiyun's peachwood box in my bag, I simply tossed the puppet inside. Xi Lingzhou wouldn't be able to take it back again.

"Give it back to me..." she gasped.

"Are you stupid You let this fox spirit temporarily reside in the puppet substitute, wouldn't that allow us to take her head Give me the puppet substitute first, I feel like this fox spirit is still useful!" I said urgently.

She bit her lip and said nothing, raising a hand to press against the collar of her shirt at her neck.

My brother is really good at fighting. He's agile and carries an illegal stun gun, so basically anyone who gets hit by him just gets beaten up. The guy was quickly knocked to the ground.

"So bold and fearless, you really think I'm easy to bully just because I'm new here!" He punched that person in the waist, and the pain caused him to bend over and fall to the ground.

My brother also bent down to tug at his hair. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from the top of the stairs, and the ghost monkey sprang out from somewhere, running along the wall and pouncing on my brother!

"Holy crap!" My brother ducked and covered his head in fear.

The chains flew down from above, and Bai Wu Chang's voice came with a sly smile: "Just in time... Dù Shuòshan's fairy peach grove is ripe, but no one has picked them. It would be a waste of the Queen Mother's kindness... This little thing just happens to go pick peaches to atone for their sins... Hee hee, pick a thousand or eight hundred-year-old one, and I'll send you back into reincarnation~~"

He held the end of the chain, his hands slightly spread apart, and I felt that now… he truly resembled a demon who lures souls.

Bai Wuchang drifted down the stairs,湊到了 that man's face and took a look. The man was beaten by my brother with blood flowing from his nose. Feeling Bai Wuchang's coldness, he scrambled up the stairs to escape.

"Hey! Seven Grandpa caught—" My brother shouted.

Bai Wu Chang shook his head and said, “...The time is not yet ripe. Let him go.”

What time is it for

The deities speak only half, and grind us down with our lack of patience.

Bai Wu Chang took out his long staff and poked the ghost monkey's head, drawing its memories away: "Silly monkey, quickly lead the way~~Don't get punished~~"

The monkey walked on, limping and subdued as if all his strength had been taken away.

"Brother, Xi Linzhou..." I looked at her neck with some worry. My coat was stained red, this amount of bleeding...

My brother looked at Bai Wu Chang, frowned and said: "You send her to the hospital first, I still need to find a way to destroy that bone relic and get back the fox head."

Bai Wuchang said: "Go, little empress. Old Eighth is guarding at the door, he will escort you."

Okay.

With Eight Grandpa here, I'm not afraid of any sudden ghosts.

Heiwu Chang was indeed guarding the entrance. His chains dragged two human figures, the little ghost attendants who had just led us here. At this moment, they looked like two balls of cotton, faces down, lying on the ground and being lightly dragged by Bagu Ye.

I strode along, carrying Xi Lingzhou. She wailed, "Slow down, slow down... I'm seeing stars!"

"Aren't you afraid of death It's just a small injury, don't be so delicate." I said.

"Fragile Bah, try me, I bet you can't even pull out a single hair from your head without crying for half an hour!"

I rolled my eyes at her, silently. I wasn't in the mood to talk.

She got into the ambulance and told me not to follow, saying that there would be people from her sect to take care of her. She let me go.

"Can you do this yourself" I asked, frowning.

She snorted, "Mu Xiaoqiao, you have a brother protecting you and a husband spoiling you. You're so pampered and fragile! I don't have it as easy as you."

"Just say you're envious, don't be so awkward."

"Humph!"

Seeing her so puffed up, I was truly worried that she might have a stroke from anger. I reminded the medical staff a few things and left my phone number before finally feeling a little more at ease and leaving.

A black elongated limousine stopped at the roadside at some point. After I sent off the ambulance, the rear window of that car slowly lowered halfway.

"Xiao Qiao, come here."

Lin Yanhuan sat in the car, he gave me a cold look as I ran up to him and asked in a low voice, "Where's your brother"

“He… is still inside. He should be out soon… That, I want to ask you for a favor…”

Please check this person for me.

Before I could finish, he started laughing.

"Sure," he replied without even finishing the sentence.

I looked at him in some surprise. He agreed so easily You didn't even finish my question!

Lin Yanhuan laughed and said, “Knowing you as I do, any serious request you make will turn out to be a trivial matter… You don't know how to push your advantage or be greedy.”

"......Is this a compliment Thank you..." I mumbled.

"Would you like to come in and sit down" he asked kindly.

I looked down at myself, covered in grime from crawling around earlier. Embarrassed, I shook my head and said, “No need… I’ll just wait for my brother here…”

He narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say anything.

I always feel that it's not appropriate to be alone with him in a closed space. It's just not right.

Fortunately, my brother came out in time. When he saw me, he immediately ran towards me, with the black and white impermanence figures escorting him all the way.

"Mr. Lin, the CEO" My brother was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You're just in time!"

He shoved me into the car without a word: "Xiao Qiao, get in! Don't delay important business!"

I... if only I had half his audacity and ruthlessness.

My brother was in even worse shape than me, but he didn't care at all. After settling down, he told Lin Yanhuan, "Arrange for the crematorium quickly, we need to cut the line! This thing is dangerous to keep overnight! We must get her cremated as soon as possible!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!l to the ground with a soft thud.With legs bent and crossed, one hand propped behind her back, the other hand holding a blooming orchid to her mouth."Oh my! How did this man become so terrifying! It's...
