rightJiang Qiyun clutched my shoulders, his voice low and serious: "If you trust me, stop crying over this. Just wait patiently for that day, I'll give you an answer."What answer, good or bad"... I ca...Without the emerald firelight, the vast underground was plunged into darkness

He made no sound, I could only feel the cold breath getting closer and closer, finally stopping right in front of me. 。Silent darkness, consuming my courage. 。When I saw him just now, I felt like I was saved. I wouldn't have to be afraid of anything anymore—darkness, ghosts, human skin and witchcraft, nothing! 。But the silence and coldness at this moment actually made my heart beat faster. 。He's mad, isn't he I have to say, he's really good at manipulating people. 。His past brutality made me deeply grateful for any shred of gentleness he now showed. 。His past coldness melted me into a moth fluttering in flames with his intertwined fingers. 。Maybe my experience is too shallow, and I have no defense ability. No matter what kind of feelings he gives me, I can only passively accept them. 。And he had too much experience, having witnessed too many cycles of birth and death, loves that blossomed and withered. Therefore, he could treat everything with a cold and detached indifference. 。That familiar coldness lingered before me in the darkness, I could even feel my breath spraying onto his chest. 。However, he remained silent and aloof, saying nothing. 。 He has always won in the end. 。"...I received a call from the patrol officer saying that my brother had an accident and asked the family to go..." 。I lowered my head, staring into the darkness, and explained to him in a hushed voice. 。The reasons no longer mattered. He had said that if the spirit child had any problems, I and my family would be in terrible, terrible trouble. I remembered his words, and I didn't want to challenge his authority. 。"...I'm sorry" 。I feel very wronged. Why is it always me who apologizes I have a husband, but not because of love; I have a child, but he doesn't belong to me. 。My life has only destiny, no surprises. 。 A soft sigh came from above his head. He sighed at me like that, did he Ever since our wedding night two years ago, hadn't I kept disappointing and frustrating him "Don't apologize, it's my fault for being careless." 。His cold voice came. 。To my surprise, I lifted my head, there was no icy rage as I had imagined. 。In the darkness, his features were unclear. I felt him slightly bend forward and lower his head. 。A little bit of cold, wet something wiped away my tears. In the darkness, his movements were a little rough, he grabbed my chin and forced me to look up. 。"I shouldn't have left you alone like this. It's just as well I left my mark on you before I went." 。He reached out and gently poked my chest: “...Did I scare you Are you hurt”

I shook my head, a little surprised that he didn’t yell at me.

He reached out and stroked me, his hands reaching to the back of my neck to unclasp the chains. He said softly, "Go home now. I'll check you over properly when you get back." 。He finished talking and then picked me up, walking towards the hole he had dug. 。 He picked up a small pendant at the entrance of the cave: "This is your family's copper amulet. I let your brother throw it in to break the barrier... This little thing is indeed interesting." 。He handed me the copper talisman, scooped me up, and leaped out of the hole. 。Not far outside there was a table with an incense burner and spirit offering table. People sent by the Shen family were performing a ceremony for the deceased there. I saw Old Mrs. Shen, Mr. Zhou, and Shen Qingrui wearing a mask, all there. 。They saw me floating down from the sky, their eyes filled with surprise. They immediately knelt before me. 。I know they're kneeling for Jiang Qiyun. Though they can't see him, the Shen family is very devoted to Jiang Qiyun. 。"My Lord Emperor, what's the situation below We can't sense any ghostly energy anymore." 。Shen Qingrui was wearing a mask, probably because the injury from being slapped last time hadn't healed yet. 。"Shentu Yulie dragged all the ghosts away, there's nothing left down here... Qingrui, you need to thoroughly investigate Mu Yunliang's whereabouts. He should be a walking corpse now, but he's audacious and reckless, I estimate he'll do something else." 。Jiang Qiyun ordered. 。"Yes 。"Shen Qingrui bowed respectfully." 。

"Disperse now"

He uttered a few words casually, and the Shen family members retreated with their entourage. 。Mr. Zhong was pulling my brother over there, desperately wanting to know what happened. My brother, annoyed, said: "My sister is helping you catch ghosts downstairs. Those ordinary ghosts were exorcised by Shen, and the evil spirits downstairs were taken away by my sister. There's nothing left here, you are safe now, just dig it up and expose it. Contact the relevant department to take away the torture devices inside." 。“ Young hero, don't lie to me, are you really okay ” “ Nonsense! Don't believe me Ask Hou Shaowen, last time I told him about digging it up and exposing it, didn't anything happen! Stop bothering me, I'm going to see if my sister is alright. ” 。My brother broke free from his grasp and ran towards me. Jiang Qiyun still hadn't let go of me, which made me feel a little awkward. 。"Brother, why did the police call to say you were in trouble" I returned the copper talisman to him. 。"What's the big deal! I just scratched a jerk's car, that jerk wouldn't let it go so I punched him. Just then a policeman came... Didn't expect you to worry about this, you too, when you get these kinds of calls, call me first to check okay Scammers love naive kids like you!" My brother yelled at me 。Yes, I'm really stupid. How could I not have thought to call and confirm first I just rushed out. 。 "Aiya... Aiya... Don't cry, Xiao Qiao. People say a pregnant woman is foolish for three years, so it's normal for you to be silly now. Anyway, you weren't very smart to begin with... Don't cry, I won't be mean to you anymore. Come on, let's go home." 。My brother reached out and touched my head. 。Jiang Qiyun kept holding me, and he continued to do so after we got in the car. I fell asleep soon after we started driving. 。I woke up in the middle of the night, and he had already put me on my bed. I opened my eyes groggily and saw him taking off his clothes. 。I smiled at him, scooting over half the bed so he could lie down. I knew he was about to start messing with me. 。He checked every finger, every inch of skin, making sure nothing was injured. Then he asked in my ear, "Did you lose" "... He squeezed my chest twice, it hurt..." 。"And then" "...nothing, nothing left." 。If there are any more, I guess he's going to blow his top again. 。Seeing his now gloomy and icy expression, I subconsciously shrank my shoulders: "I'm sorry... I couldn't resist." 。"Don't you dare say sorry to me again!" he roared angrily. 。I immediately closed my mouth. 。“ ... Forget it, let's sleep.” 。He frowned, forcing down his anger with a rigid expression. 。When I opened my eyes the next day, I saw a head of silken black hair cascading before me. Jiang Qiyun was actually sleeping soundly on my chest with his eyes closed. 。I was startled and took a step back. He pressed me against the wall, my shoulders and arms aching with pain. I gasped in agony as I looked down. My chest was tortured beyond recognition, a gruesome sight. 。"You... this is—" I looked at him, amused and bewildered. 。l we go check out these little Buddhas We could put out some feelers in both the occult and antiques circles to see if anyone knows anything." I suggested.My brother nodded, just as his phone rang. He...
