936 Yin Yang One Line 2

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 ju...How capable is Mu Xiaoqiao While her cultivation might not be exceptionally high, she's definitely experienced far more than I have.

And she's been practicing constantly, while I... it seems like I can only rely on others for food and shelter. I haven't really developed any real skills… With so many older siblings at home, they spoiled me and made me incapable of doing things myself.

“Don’t put yourself down like that. When I first got involved in this, I knew nothing either. My brother was only half-versed in it too. We stumbled and fumbled around, bumping and bruising ourselves. Back then, if something went wrong, it could have been a matter of life and death. Now you don’t even have to worry about losing your life… This stand-in is Mu Wanchen’s magic, it can take the damage for you. And with the female silkworm in your body, ordinary poisons can't harm you either. You can slowly get used to the environment here and practice alongside me.” Mu Xia Qiao patiently said to me.

"Well then, Master Wife, you teach me" I wrapped myself in the cloak she had given me.

“What else Jiang Qiyun doesn't teach apprentices. Only someone like Mu Wanchen, who knows everything, can become his apprentice… He's such a worry-free master! He doesn't worry about his apprentice at all…” Mu Xiaoqiao mumbled with some discontent.

I immediately nodded and said, "Of course! If my junior wife doesn't think I'm foolish, I'll practice with you! Do we need to offer a teacher's gift I'll go home and get one!"

"Hee hee, no need, no need~ As long as you… hmm… can, can come and help me take care of those little ancestors!" Mu Xiaoqiao blushed slightly.

Oh my god! Turns out I'm supposed to help take care of the kids.

"No problem, happy to help!" I replied with a gritted teeth.

Yu Nan's temperament is such that he wouldn't need to be brought along at all. It's At Gui who needs to come, because she's very clingy. As for the youngest son, Lan Xi...

"Little junior wife, why is Lan Xi little junior brother so mischievous Could he have made you cry" I asked bluntly.

Mu Xiaqiao immediately pouted with aggrieved tears welling up in her eyes, she whispered, "How was I supposed to know... You Nan and Yu Gui were so easy to take care of when they were babies! And my grandmother helped me take care of them. At the time, I thought raising a child wasn't tiring at all. Who knew Lan Xi was born to be a troublemaker! Goodness gracious, he can't even speak yet, but his brain... He knows everything! I try to scare him and it never works, sometimes I even get so frustrated that I cry!"

"Well... perhaps Master could give him a lesson" I wanted to pass the buck to Master.

Mu Xiaoqiao immediately shook her head: "No, no, he's too strict. I'm afraid he'll throw the child to Qinghua Changle Realm to fend for himself. Younan and Yu Gui almost got sent there. I absolutely won't let that happen..."

Wow, there's such an operation

“Qinghua Changle Realm…isn’t that the Qinghua Changle Realm of the Great Compassionate Deity Taishang” I asked cautiously.

This is truly a height that mortals cannot reach. I thought this kind of thing only existed in the fantasies of ordinary people.

Even if I believed in yin and yang, ghosts and gods, I wouldn't believe that celestial beings, honorable deities, or fallen celestial demons would pay any attention to us mere mortals. They are simply too far removed from our world for me to conceive of them caring about us ants.

“Is there another Qinghua Changle Realm” Mu Xiaoqiao tapped my forehead: “I have paid respects to the mountain gate of Taiyi Zun Shen, and the deity touched my head and gave me a warning, so sometimes I can go there to play. But Jiang Qiyun wants to send the two children to cultivate Oh my gosh… Qinghua Changle Realm is a pure land in all directions. What if they get lost What if they encounter danger They won’t eat well, sleep well, or even get sick with a cold…”

"...I stared speechless at my junior wife."

She hesitated for a moment, her eyes drooping with a sulk, and whispered, "I... I just can't bear to part with it..."

Oh my gosh, this look is so cute and adorable I just want to hug and squeeze it.

“It’s understandable that the little mistress is worried, considering her child and Master are bound by heaven's order and earthly norms. The master likely sees sending the child to the Qinghua Changle realm as akin to dropping them off at a prestigious kindergarten for nobility. It's quite natural, even if you sent your child to an ordinary kindergarten, I imagine you’d still worry every day. Both of your feelings are completely understandable.” I chuckled and brushed it off with a dismissive answer.

"...Well, at least you and I can understand each other. Jiang Qiyun and Mu Wanchen, they've never truly lived in the human world, their thoughts are on a completely different level... Besides matters of yin and yang, I really don't know how the two of them could even talk together." Mu Xiaqiao said carelessly.

I, however, caught a hint—something about yin and yang Could it be discussed together

"Little mistress, you said there are many ghosts here, but I haven't seen any with my own eyes. The only ghost I saw was a woman in red, the former wife of Mu Wanchen."

"Pfft… hahaha, ex-wife"

"... Don't laugh!"

"Well, alright then, here I am, seeing two different Witigo mountain towns..."

A different Witch King's City

The magnificent cliff city, with iron cables spanning the river and plank roads soaring across it, boasts thousands of houses, each twinkling with countless lights.

Are there two more cities like this

I didn't understand at first, and tilted my head to look at the young mistress, savoring the meaning of her words.

She smiled knowingly, "You probably can't figure it out right away. Think about it... This is a place outside the jurisdiction of heaven and earth, a 'faraway land'. Those in the heavens come and go as they please here, and even the underworld can't summon souls here. So how do people here live, age, get sick, and die"

"So you're saying there's...another one here Another ghost town" I rubbed the goosebumps on my arms.

“With the abilities of hundreds of thousands of people here, even the Witch Clan wouldn't be able to create a ‘realm’ of life and death reincarnation. However, they used their most proficient witchcraft to keep the dead souls trapped here. They wait until the spirits of new life gather in the womb, then release the ignorant and naive souls to combine with them.” Mu Xia Qiao said softly.

"Is this what they call the noble blood theory" I frowned. "Could it be that the witches believe their people's souls can perpetuate the special bloodline of their clan"

“Yes, isn’t there still belief in the reincarnation of spiritual children today Actually, according to the law of birth and death, it doesn't exist… I have seen the Wangwang Platform, the River of Forgetfulness, the Hometown Viewing Platform, the Bridge of No Return, the Bamboo Forest of Suffering, the Wheel of Rebirth Well, and even the Blood Pool Hell in the underworld... Normal reincarnation does not involve retaining memories from past lives.” Mu Xia Qiao frowned and sighed, “However, over two thousand years ago, the God King created a Wuzhuang Mountain City to imprison souls in order to preserve his people's bloodline and magical powers...”

Perhaps, apart from the issues with genetics, this is the reason why Wuzhuang Mountain City cannot function normally with birth, aging, sickness, and death today.

Could there be a dark and gloomy world lurking behind the magnificent cityscape and dreamy landscapes I see

“Hmm… I talked too much, Xia Yinluo, you should ask Mu Wanchen yourself later. You run to me every day, and I teach you basic spells!” Mu Xiaoqiao waved at me and said: “I’m going back to sleep, it’s late, Jiang Qiyun will scold me, hihi…”

On your way out, you even shoved a mouthful of dog food into my mouth. Little wife, are you being this kind

Have I offended the immortals by revealing their secrets Everything has been going wrong lately. Yesterday, the word processing software I used all the time announced that it was shutting down! I've been busy backing up my old manuscripts and looking for new, secure word processing software. It's been a real hassle...
