Painting No. 623

is thought, I turned to look at Lin Yanqin—she had actually woken up!And she was rubbing her eyes, staring blankly at my brother holding my head."My goodness! You two siblings actually have an affair!...This guy, I just can't figure out where he stands.

What kind of person is he Sometimes I think he's quite fierce, and very rebellious. He doesn't show any respect to the Purple Emperor or other celestial deities at all.

Moreover, he lacked a sense of camaraderie with other immortals, seeming to only advance and retreat with Luohu—both were problematic children.

As soon as Jiang Qiyun appeared, the little boy who had been sitting on a branch of a tree holding a gourd immediately jumped down and said to Ji Dou with a smile: "Star Official, how can you compare yourself to the Little Lady People might think you're fighting over her affections!"

Pooh! Getting jealous

"Shut up! Who are you to talk to me like that!" Ji Du glared at the little boy.

The little boy pouted and hid behind Jiang Qiyun.

Though he is a young boy (he's not actually that small), he has been serving by the side of Taiyi Zhenren for many years, acting as his little errand runner. He has run all over the Three Realms and learned quite a bit.

They've read through all the gossip and rumors of the three realms, haven't they seen anything in this world

Especially now that Jiang Qiyun has arrived, the little boy's spine stiffened even more. He hid behind Jiang Qiyun but didn't forget to retort: "This is how I speak with the Emperor..."

"Alright." Jiang Qiyun said, "Go quickly and give those people some Dinghun Pills."

The little boy hesitated, clutching his gourd and asking, "Do you approve This elixir shouldn't be given to just anyone..."

Soul-binding Pill Can't just give it to anyone

Jiang Qiyun remained silent, merely nodding slightly. The young boy pouted and poured a few pills from the gourd. He went into the side room to feed them to his grandmother.

I rushed to follow him into the room, and sat on the bed crying. Younan had already climbed to the bedside, seeming to watch grandmother lying on the floor.

The little boy crouched down and shoved a pill into grandma's mouth. I hurriedly whispered, "What is this"

"Soul-Binding Pill, didn't you hear what the Emperor said…"

"I'm asking you about the effects of this thing!"

"Well, it's just as it says on the surface. It stabilizes the three souls and prevents them from leaving the body easily."

I nodded. That's good, that way Granny, Dad, and the glutton won't die in the boundary between Yin and Yang.

"But you said it's not safe to just give this to people Are there side effects" I asked, worried.

The little boy shook his head and said, "No, it's just that those who eat this elixir will have their souls difficult to leave the body in the afterlife, needing a high-level Yin差 to guide them... However, the Heavenly Emperor has nodded, so these are not problems."

After Grandma took the medicine, she looked like she was asleep, breathing peacefully. That eased my worries a lot.

I put her on the bed and stopped the two babies, Yu Gui and You Nan actually bumped their little heads against grandma's body. I felt my eyes welling up instantly.

"Little Empress, actually you...you really cry a lot. But it's not the kind of crying that shows weakness, it's just that your heart is too soft." The little boy pouted and said, "You don't even scare anyone when you get angry..."

How do you have to flare up to be scary With my level of skill, can I scare all of you old folks, big and small

"Is this Star Jun a good person or a bad one I'm worried he might betray us..." I whispered, pulling the little boy aside.

"Hmm... I can't really say. Anyway, he and Luohou Xingjun are Eclipsing Gods, going against the sun and moon. Their temperaments aren't the best... But with the arrival of our Lord Emperor, there's nothing to fear. Even after two thousand years, Jieti Xingjun hasn't won a single fight. After all these years, he should at least develop some feelings towards him, right" The little boy said optimistically.

Express your feelings

I looked towards them, our eyes clashing in the air. Jiang Qiyun was as cold and sharp as jade, while Ji Duo had a look of arrogant self-assurance.

These two are more dangerous than all those ghosts swarming outside.

Just as I was thinking they probably wouldn't start a fight here, Ji Dou raised his hand, a long sword in his grasp, and said to Jiang Qiyun, "These ghosts outside are under your jurisdiction, right Clear them out quickly, then we can have our duel."

Jiang Qiyun snorted coldly: "Either shut your mouth or get out of here. I have no time for you now."

He finished speaking and walked to where Quan Heng was, one hand gripping his sword, the other forming a seal.

The longsword glimmered, his powerful fingers moving rapidly, and outside the barrier, eight hellgates rose from the ground.

The heavy gate creaked open, and hundreds of silver chains shot out like snakes, ensnaring countless ghosts in their icy grip.

“Mu Xiaqiao, take a look at those two little things and keep them by your side.” Jiang Qyun gave me a faint order.

"And you" I asked hastily.

"I'll take care of this, just keep an eye on them."

He was glowing, his voice light but carrying an undeniable seriousness and sternness.

But... how can I take care of two by myself... Everyone in the house is asleep now. The maidservant and Quan Heng are going to form a battle formation, and Jiang Qiyun has to deal with these demons and monsters...

Only the young children and Ji were left.

I wouldn't dare expect anything from them, so I could only lead the little boy into the room.

"Is your gourd important to you" I asked.

The little boy jumped in fright, thinking I was going to take his gourd. He clutched it tightly and said, "Of course it's important! There are lots of pills inside! If I lose it, I'll be punished!"

What can we do about it

"Forget it, I'll carry it myself. Just give me a hand..." I said to the little boy.

At this point, comparisons to crying children were moot. I could only use an infant carrier to keep her strapped to my chest. Yunnan, however, was wrapped in a cloak and carried on my back.

A young boy helped tie it up, and whispered to me comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. With the Emperor God here, we're not afraid of falling into any space!"

That old geezer, he left his methods in the courtyard and alleyways so many years ago, just waiting for the right time to merge with the street where Old Wang's ghost resided.

Our current situation is like the dividing line in the center of the Tai Chi dual fish diagram, existing between the yin and yang chaos.

Outside, there were howls and wails, a powerful gust of wind scattering the drifting specters. The young boy pushed open a crack in the window and whispered, "Even Lord Ji Dou Xing is taking action...but something feels off..."

Ji Dou leaped into the air. Above him, on the heavenscape behind him, was a moon being eroded by darkness, its remaining light obscured by thick clouds. His face grim, he raised his long sword towards Lao Yi.

The old man's feet were right on the edge of the bog. He could escape at any time.

"Star Monarch, so you're also a vanguard under the Heavenly Emperor!" Old Yi deliberately provoked.

Ji Dou held his breath and swung his sword, shouting: "Stop wasting time, hand over the fools who disturbed this star master!"

The old wolf dodged the attack with a pathetic scramble, and snarled, “He’s right behind you…”

A crack appeared in the heavens behind him, like a giant eye about to open.

The little demon with grayish-blue skin hid in the corner of a crevice, reaching out to grab hold of Keidō's robe hem!

His eyes and the corners of his mouth began to ooze wisps of black smoke.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and roared, "Fool! Get out of the way—"backyard from my room. It looked suspicious, so I quickly called my brother to tell him.My brother went down with a stainless steel baseball bat in hand. He came back to the courtyard with the man sh...
