I got a little nervous getting off the bamboo bed and looked at that meticulous Emperor. He didn't even let me answer the phone when we were sleeping last night, and now someone came to chat with me… Would he drive them away

This is on someone else's turf.

"It won't be long, just a while." Long Xiaoge eagerly looked at Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun calmly adjusted his collar, which I had messed up. It seemed he agreed, so I quickly got out of bed and put on my shoes, ready to talk to Long Xiaoge.

"Where are you going" Jiang Qiyun held onto my shoulder. "Let's talk here. Don't go out and catch a cold."

"...Oh." I nodded.

As I watched Jiang Qiyun leave, I was suddenly reminded of some past events.

Once he went a little too far in messing with me. The next day, Song Wei called me to help her look at houses. To my surprise, he humbled himself and actually went to see them himself. He picked one out on the first try, probably because he was tired of Song Wei bothering me about it three or four times.

His tenderness is not readily apparent, it takes thought to perceive.

I said to Long Xiaogē, "He's very good to you."

"Um... yes."

"Will you two be together" he asked abruptly.

"...Aren't we together right now"

"I always thought that men and women would inevitably have regrets when getting along, but I didn't expect you to be able to get along with the deity so harmoniously." The corner of his mouth twitched, as if smiling.

This smile is too rare.

"Long Xiaoge... you're not here to talk about this stuff, are you I don't really understand it either. You should talk to my brother instead, he knows much more than me."

Long Xiaogē shook his head and said, "I want to ask you for something."

"What is it"

" ...I heard you exorcised the earthbound ghost in Zixiao Lane. A scout told me you just threw something on the ground, and it vanished into thin air. What was it" He looked at me.

"Oh, this This is a simple altar. You can have my brother help you with the rites of passage, or you can do it yourself... Here, right here."

I took out an empty, triangular amulet from my bag and held it in my hand.

Long Xiaoge used two fingers to pinch it up and held it lightly in his palm.

"...Are you going to perform a spiritual rite for her" I understood.

Long Xiaoge nodded silently. After a long while, he seemed to release a breath of air, relaxing his tense shoulders and spoke slowly: "She was wrong too many times, and I couldn't save her... She gambled everything, trying to use you to threaten us, Mu Xiaqiao. Who among us would be foolish enough to offend the God of the Underworld We all have faith, we are all in this circle, unlike mortals who are so ignorant and fearless."

She couldn't be free... If that day ever truly came, I would just turn a blind eye. After all, there wasn't a grand wedding, she was only his fiancée in name. If she fell in love with someone, I would give her freedom.

"She wanted to be the Princess Consort, but I prevented her from getting pregnant. She harbors resentment towards me... I feel she will eventually leave me, so I don't want to get too involved."

I nodded, not knowing what to say.

“I went to exorcise her, hoping she’d… be far away from here in her next life.” Long Ge looked at the small talisman in his hand.

"Just throw this on the ghost's head and say a quick spell I heard you guys handled the spirits in Crooked Alley with ease."

I nodded, then suddenly felt a little awkward and asked, "Um... do you know we're in a right-angle alley"

Of course, there are spies everywhere in Miao Wang City.

"Um... we, we weren't intentionally eavesdropping."

Oh my god, he must know we were eavesdropping on him.

He smiled faintly: "That kind of thing...it doesn't matter."

Is that okay

"That... Dragon Xiaoge ah... If you meet someone who truly likes you in the future, still accompany her more." I hesitated to give a piece of advice.

He gave a wry smile: "Only those who love will want to keep company, how can one accompany without love"

He shook his head and turned to leave.

I quickly stopped him: "Brother Long, you should still call my brother... or I'll go help you. That woman has her nine orifices sealed, perhaps her soul can't get out."

"No, sealing the nine orifices is only to torture and humiliate her. No one in our village knows how to truly seal the nine orifices anymore... The knowledge of refining corpses is understood, but it has also disappeared."

He paused before leaving, turning back to say: "I'll send you back to the Mu family when it gets light. I originally promised to keep you unharmed, but now I've broken that promise. Consider this Soul-Capturing Bell as compensation, and leave it in the Mu family."

This guy... he's way too hard on himself.

Jiang Qiyun walked in and said softly, "He is as clear as a mirror. As long as that woman lives, their village will be in turmoil. The Elder and his status and authority will also be questioned."

I looked at Jiang Qiyun and said in a low voice, "Actually, what he said is right. Love makes one want to be together... Before, you were cold and distant towards me, as if you were just completing a task. You would leave after a moment, you were really bad to me back then."

He smiled faintly and squatted down in front of me, looking at me directly: "Didn't you also drive me away You shrunk like a porcupine when you saw me and didn't even want to look at my face."

"Who told you to get the order wrong! If you had just, just... done that kind of thing from the start, of course you wouldn't want to see me... Well, at least you're not a bad man… Hmm, not a bad god." I smiled.

Jiang Qiyun smiled faintly, reaching out to hug me. His clear voice drifted into my ears: "It's wrong, it's wrong. Fortunately, I didn't really let you live alone until the end..."

Before, I wasn't afraid of being alone. I always thought that as long as I had my dad and older brother, being under the same roof, having a small room would be enough.

Now I also have a fondness, hoping Jiang Qiyun can accompany me for as long as possible, even if most of the time is at night, I feel very satisfied.

The future, which once felt gloomy and oppressive, now begins to look different.

"Qi Yun, that... I have a small request..."

"...Hmm You'll agree if I whisper sweet nothings in your ear"

"Uh Here But this bed... it's so loud..."

His forehead pressed against my collarbone, a muffled chuckle vibrating through him: "Little Qiao, little Qiao... how easy you are to please..."

Long Xiaoge insisted on sending us back to the Mu family, but my brother politely refused: "We can drive back ourselves. We don't want to stay at your 'corpse inn' on the way. Our little sweetheart would be scared to death."

Long Xiaoge furrowed his brow, and I took out a Miao embroidered package from my backpack and handed it to him: "Here you go, your gift, thank you for hosting us for a few days."

He chuckled and said, “Mu Xiaqiao, Madam Mu, you have helped the Great Corpse King dispel a lot of resentment. It should be I who sends you gifts as thanks.”

My brother smirked and said, "No need, you guys just have to stay away from Situ Lin, we'll be grateful... Just open it up and see, my sister went out of her way to get this for you, making a huge sacrifice, almost couldn't stand straight anymore—"
