stared at me with a calm gaze.Jiang Qiyun put me down and said, "Stay here for a while. I'm going to check on Xunwei's situation. When I get back, I'll take you to see something.""Good." I nodded, sta...My face flushed slightly, and as I looked up, Hou Shaowen stared at me blankly.

"What are you looking at My brother is talking to you!" I frowned.

"Oh...oh! Any one will do, as long as it's authentic." Hou Shaowen hurried to the counter.

My brother said lazily, "Whether it's genuine or not, you can't tell the difference. If I say it's genuine, do you believe me"

Hòu Shào wén gritted his teeth and said, "The reputation of your Mù family shouldn't be reduced to this, should it"

"Cheap goods aren't good, it depends on what you want." My brother said in a cunning manner.

Hou Shaowen came back to his senses and immediately pulled out a checkbook and wrote down a number.

My brother nodded and said, "Deal! You're a straightforward person! Just wait, I'll go get the real stuff for you."

"Hey These are fakes!"

Actually, it's common sense that my dad wouldn't just put genuine artifacts on display in the shop. I reckon only the Five Emperor Coins are real. No wonder all those things I threw out had no effect except for the Five Emperor Coins. The rest must be fakes.

Hou Shaowen saw my brother go to the warehouse, and immediately smiled at me.

A shiver ran down my spine as I heard a contemptuous "Humph" in my ear.

Turning my head, I saw Jiang Qiyun with his arm in a sling, sitting beside me and coldly watching Hou Shaowen.

Hou Shaowen couldn't see him, but he just shivered and smiled: "Why is it suddenly so cold The air conditioner is too strong, it's not good for your health, Miss Mu."

I thought to myself: Young Master Hou, if you say a few more words, I'm afraid you'll really be in trouble.

My brother quickly brought over a black box, and Jiang Qiyun immediately narrowed his eyes: "Your dad is truly an expert."

"What"

"This thing came from the Ghost Market, it's so heavy with evil spirit! Looks like your dad is quite capable."

The box opened, revealing an ancient bronze statue.

The statue depicts a wrathful Vajrapani, with countless arms raised high holding implements on either side, and a flaming halo behind.

A woman intimately embraces a golden figure. Combined with the bronze face's mottled patina and lavish, fierce sculpture, at first glance, one gets the illusion of a statue coming to life.

Hou Shaowen gulped down a mouthful of saliva, his throat dry, and said to my brother, "The aura of genuine goods is really different!"

My brother put it back in the box and smiled, "This thing isn't hard to find. I think these days, a real virgin is harder to find."

Hou Shaowen laughed and said, "There will be. Money is no problem."

He hastily packed up the box and said goodbye, seemingly eager to return and take credit.

"Does this method really work" I asked Jiang Qiyun, frowning.

Jiang Qiyun coldly gave me two words: heresy.

"Doing good deeds and committing evil are a person's own affairs. If one has karmic obstacles that they don't remove, they instead use even more wicked methods to cover them up, ultimately... Humph, it's because there are too many fools like this that I'm so busy!" he added.

When I went to the hospital to visit my father, I ran into Hou Shaowen in the hallway.

He was followed by several bodyguards, who nodded at me.

I saw him with a girl who had short hair. She looked like a high school student and glanced at me briefly before hurrying past.

This is the virgin they found, isn't it There are actually people who believe this kind of evil.

Maybe that girl did it for the money, but at least she did it willingly.

You're doing much better than me. I was blindfolded and thrown into a coffin.

"You're actually envious" an angry voice came from beside me.

I turned my head speechless, "Jiang Qiyun, aren't you very busy How come you're always coming and going like a ghost And which eye of yours saw that I envied you"

Jiang Qiyun appeared behind me with a gloomy face. When he didn't want people to see him, he wouldn't materialize.

"Isn't that so Everyone loves wealth, don't you think that woman who paid for it is better off than you"

“She paid for it willingly, which I despise, but she did. And all I can do is beg you to leave me some dignity.” I was pissed at his tone and turned around to go back to my dad's room.

I'm not afraid of him anymore. He shows up almost every day, and every time he stares at my belly. He's so tense, I'm even afraid of what he might do

When I left the hospital, I ran into that girl again. It had been over three hours since she'd entered the ward. Could she have been under that wizard's guidance the whole time, performing some kind of "ritual"

She looked dazed and unsteady on her feet, nearly tripping when she stepped out of the elevator.

Why bother...

》》》

As weekend lights began to twinkle, the commercial district around my home was bustling with activity. Meanwhile, I sat inside, engrossed in a perplexing book, while Jiang Qiyun mocked me from the side.

I received a call from Song Wei, saying that her brother had an accident. After hanging up, I immediately put on my coat and prepared to go see her.

Jiang Qiyun asked coldly, "Where are you going"

Song Wei's brother is missing, I went to help look for him, she's at the bar street near my house.

"That woman has pure yang blood, she can't see ghosts. You're different, you're the kind that attracts them. It's best to stay indoors at night." Jiang Qiyun grabbed my shoulder tightly.

That much strength made my temper flare.

"That's right! I was worried about you! Why don't you worry about me!" I retorted, "Song Wei is my friend, of course I have to help her."

Pregnant women are really short-tempered, I feel like I get angry at Jiang Qiyun just by seeing him now.

I can't figure out why I'm angry either.

Maybe he was just too much of a jerk

I have a bad temper, but Jiang Qiyun's is even worse—he is the respected ruler of the underworld after all.

Seeing that I didn't know any better, he roared: "Stay home and behave yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he disappeared.

It's better gone! Get lost!

I dashed out of the house, checking my phone's location to find Song Wei.

The commercial district near my home is quite busy, and the bar street area in particular has all sorts of people. How could I possibly let Song Wei go alone to such a place

After we met, she anxiously said that her younger brother, who recently started high school, had a crush on a girl. Today, she scolded him, and he ran away. She suspected that he went to find the girl. After inquiries, it turned out that the girl worked at a bar here.

"A minor working in a bar What kind of good stuff could he be" She stomped her feet angrily: "Xiao Qiao, we'll search separately. If you find him, don't be polite, just slap him twice!"

I'm helpless, finding someone in this kind of place is really difficult. I can only walk and ask around. Passing a narrow alleyway, I saw two dark figures moving erratically inside.

"Wow, you're really a high school student So open!"

The moment I heard the words "high school student," I immediately became alert and hid in the shadows.

"Absolutely genuine...ah...come, let me help you..." A woman's voice rang out.

Then came a strange sucking sound.d: "It's difficult... People are fickle, and it's hard to change people's hearts. Without the right time, it's hard to make the people all yearn for change."Therefore, the master said, "A king is one...
