s was beyond my control. I couldn't even turn my eyes, and could only stare straight ahead at the bronze mirror at the foot of the bed.The image reflected in the copper mirror was a scene deeply etche...What is called a "little ghost" is actually the soul of a child. It is captured and refined by evil methods, to be controlled by people. It needs to be fed blood and appeased.

Those who take shortcuts will use evil spirits to increase their luck, such as love, career, or gambling luck. But this is a practice that harms one's yin and reduces their lifespan. Often, the practitioners end up suffering a bad fate. Moreover, if the practitioner makes the evil spirits unhappy or angry out of fear or disgust, the spirits will retaliate against them.

The more capable the little demon is, the worse it is for its owner.

"Lily, how could you do such a dangerous thing And you're an outsider, how dare you touch these things" I frowned at her.

Lily covered her face and whispered, "Because Yunliang is by my side... I don't find it scary. And he said he can bring good luck in love, change one's fortune, especially for people in the entertainment industry. I want to be an internet celebrity..."

"Did you... order the little ghost to take revenge on the Lin family" I confirmed with her.

She hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "I thought this sort of thing was just fate. I didn't notice anything ghostly... I felt like nothing was around me. I just muttered a few times wishing that everyone in the Lin family would die, and then I didn't think about it anymore."

I frowned. That day, the shadow on Lin Yanhuan was different. It had blood-red eyes and was almost entirely black from head to toe. It even bared its teeth at us before scrambling out the door with all fours.

This situation looks like someone is raising a ghost, but it's not as simple as raising a minor spirit.

"I've been taking good care of the little ghost. The house is spotless, and I bought lots of snacks and toys..." she muttered to herself.

I recalled that dinner party. She did act as if she was raising a spirit, but I didn't see any ghosts. That is to say: Lily believed she was raising a spirit, but in reality, she was raising something else entirely.

"Alright, Lili, let's just go to your place and take a look. Even if I give you some protective items, you wouldn't know how to arrange them, right Placement is very important. My brother and I can help you out with that. What do you think" I coaxed her into letting us visit her place so we could see for ourselves.

Lily nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, okay. I live alone now and I'm a little scared. When can you come see me Come now"

"Uh...now" I froze.

I really don't feel like moving right now. Last night's intimacy has left my legs aching terribly, that burning pain...and the feeling of Jiang Qiyun's peak making me have a dull ache in my belly. I'm afraid there might be signs of another miscarriage, so I'm just curled up on the sofa under an air conditioner blanket, trying my best not to move.

Lily glanced at me, and smiled apologetically. "I forgot you weren't feeling well... How about tomorrow 8am tomorrow, how does that sound"

Eight o'clock then, just wake up for a bit, we can grab the necessary equipment and go take a look, confirm exactly what she brought home.

"Lily." Seeing her about to leave, I couldn't help but remind her, "You probably shouldn't go back to sleep. There's something scratching at the walls in your house, you know"

Lily chuckled bitterly: "I'm afraid, but if Yunliang happens to come back and I'm not there, what should I do Wouldn't that make him run for nothing..."

"Just run, it's not a big deal. Your safety is more important." I urged him strongly.

But Lily's face flushed again, a strange red creeping across her skin. She whispered, "If he comes back, we can *do it*...make love. Then I wouldn't be afraid anymore..."

This person is simply——

My throat felt so scorched, my voice was a little raspy. I coughed twice more and wanted to try persuading her again, but she quickly said "Get some rest," and then dashed off.

My brother walked in wearing slippers and said to me, “I called Dabao and told him to keep an eye on Lily.”

I nodded and sent Lily's address to Dabao's phone.

Tomorrow morning, we'll take our things to her house to see what's up. We might even have to exorcise a ghost right there. That blood-red eyed black ghost doesn't look like a friendly fellow at all.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When the clouds rose over the river at night, I put down my phone and went to sleep by myself. He could do whatever he wanted, and we didn't talk much.

There are still scabbed tooth marks on his left chest, and he lingers over them as he always does, sucking and biting. As long as I don't anger him, he shows me some pity, waiting until my body is ready before he enters me.

Do the spirits of the underworld, do they all have an obsessive fondness for the bodies of the living

He had a faint, cool scent about him, so subtle that it only emerged when his passion burned brightly.

Perhaps all the divine beings are wind and dew nourished, immune to heat and cold. When he withdrew from my body, I smelled that faint, almost imperceptible coldness again, as if... it was something he left behind in me.

After last night's rampage, he's calmed down a lot today, but even so, I'm exhausted. He can't possibly do this every day, right I guess I'll have to go find Old Mrs. Wu and get some Yang-tonifying kidney-strengthening medicine again.

I dozed off for a while, and then my phone buzzed at the most inconvenient time. I didn't bother opening my eyes; Jiang Qiyun, that self-reliant fellow, would either answer it himself or hang up directly anyway.

As if on cue, he picked up his phone and shouted, "Hello!" The voice on the other end was so loud that I rubbed my eyes and sat up. Right then, I heard a heavy thumping sound coming from the stairs outside the door.

"Little Qiao!" My brother suddenly burst into the room, flinging the door open.

My head was still muddled, he suddenly burst through the door and startled me!

Jiang Qiyun swiftly reached out and enveloped me in his embrace, leaving not even my shoulders exposed.

But... my chest was pressed against his, it was really awkward, you know My brother was still there, fuming.

"Stop it! This is a big deal!" he exclaimed urgently.

Jiang Qiyun gave him a cold look, signaling that he was on the phone. My brother was stunned for a moment, and after seeing his actions, he gritted his teeth and said, "Come down quickly, I'll go warm up the car first!"

I had woken up a bit, with Jiang Qiyun's jaw resting on my head. I heard the voice from my phone, Yin Cha Da Bao shouting urgently, "Your Majesty, come quickly! The police are here! If we're late, we won't be able to see anything—"

Jiang Qiyun replied faintly, "It's nothing. Observe if there are any suspicious people nearby. We're coming over now..."

After hanging up the phone, he coldly said to me, "Let's go."

"What's going on"

The woman named Lily is dead.

My breath caught — we were only hours away from our meeting, how could she be dead!

Jiang Qiyun wasn't surprised at all; he had said before that Lily wouldn't live long.

Why so suddenly!

"Give your uncle a call and ask him to hold the spot for us." Jiang Qiyun handed me her phone.

I immediately dialed my Uncle Cheng Su's phone. He answered and said only, "Xiao Qiao, come over here quickly. The situation here is too strange, I need to write a special report..." be wanting to draw out his soul for refining, to possess his body" I whispered.My brother's face was grave. He reached out and took my wrist, answering in a hushed voice, "Do you know what that silly...
