in a fluster
ors daughters over sons — who can blame her when there are so few girls in the familyShe really took two of those backpack-style carriers with seats and strapped Yu Gui and You Nan to my brother."Go o...It's hard to imagine how big the objects behind us are.
Because I've only seen the tip of the iceberg.
That's a foot, isn't it Covered in massive black scales. In the darkness, you can only see a round "foot".
The atmosphere here shifted rapidly, the bloody and sinister aura of the two little demons was shattered by an indescribable, icy and steady presence.
Jiang Qiyun by my side remained unassuming, standing silently. His beautiful hands formed intricate hand seals, like they were holding virtual lotuses.
The sky was covered by something, obscuring the clouds and the moon.
This aura is oppressive, cold, and domineering.
This man beside me looks a lot like him.
"Qi Yun, what is this" I whispered.
"... Xuan Ming."
"What is Xuan Ming ... I didn't dare ask, but he chuckled and glanced at me with a hint of warning in his voice: "You should read widely, Your Highness, otherwise how will you educate your children"
I refuse to accept that. I'm only a few years old, how could my knowledge even compare to Jiang Qiyun's
Moreover, celestial beings and demons are just legends in the human world. How many people have actually seen them with their own eyes
I pouted and said, "It's your parents' fault for not raising you properly. You can't blame me."
I said it in a very soft voice, almost a whisper. I only meant for Jiang Qiyun to hear it.
Then, a muffled chuckle came from the sky, like rolling thunder, which startled me.
"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Qiyun pulled me to his side and lifted his finger to press lightly on my lips.
"...What is this"
How do I have a feeling of being covered by a "lid"
"Black represents Xuan, and Yin represents Ming. A turtle with a snake's tail, this is the god of the north." He explained simply.
"Huh So the huge creature I saw was just one foot of Xuanming! "
I immediately looked up at the sky, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything—were we now all beneath Xuan Ming's belly
Jiang Qiyun explained it this way, and I roughly understood what it was.
With a tortoise's shell and a snake's tail, the god of the North is Xuanwu. Its oldest name should be Xuanming.
Ancestors consulted oracles using tortoise shells to visit the underworld and seek guidance from their ancestors and deities. Gradually, Xuanming also came to encompass concepts of longevity, water gods, and northern deities.
"The Xuanming is the most capable spirit among divine beasts to stabilize a boundary. Summoning the Xuanming over here will let these two little demons know what it means to have no way to heaven and nowhere to go on earth." Jiang Qiyun raised his hand, summoning a talisman that hung in mid-air.
The talisman's silver glow bathed the darkened ruins in a sheen of moonlight.
"I'll go deal with those two little demons. Xiao Qiao, you go find the hostages. Although they can't escape this place, still be careful." Jiang Qiyun instructed.
"Good." Having a powerful divine beast protecting me gave me courage.
The Shenhu was searching for the two little demons among the ruins, but they were elusive and kept hiding. Xuanming had also stabilized a barrier to enclose this area. I felt a growing sense of worry in my heart—
I'm really afraid these two little rascals won't be able to play nice and might end up fighting.
The cries of Old Chen's daughter, coming and going intermittently — this is what a ghost often does, stirring up ordinary people's fear and curiosity.
I bypassed the low wall where women's heads lay, a pool of blood having almost congealed on it, seeped into the brick joints.
It didn't look dangerous, so I continued walking forward. Unexpectedly, a small demon reached out from the pool of blood, grabbing a severed head by its hair and throwing it at me!
"Ah!" I was so startled, this is too creepy.

A divine tiger leaped over immediately, its hand retracting back into the blood.
Blood...Could these two fellows possibly be using blood as a portal
"Chirp chirp chirp... Little sister, do you know what our skull-made goblets are used for Chirp chirp chirp... It's not wine, oh no, it's blood!"
"Click click click.... Our master likes to drink human blood ah ah ah ah~~"
These two little rascals are... really something. Do they even have an owner
"Are you possessed by demons" I blurted out.
I didn't expect them to reply, but that incredibly quirky little demon answered, "The master is a human, kiki kiki... a big shot~~~ With over a thousand servants~~~~"
Still quite proud, are you Even if you were some big shot, wouldn't you have turned into dust long ago
"So you... you... why... would a skull be made into a goblet" I quickened my pace, deliberately drawing the little imp out.
The little ghost had a lot to say, probably because he'd been bottled up for too many years. He actually said with a smile, “One day, the master was fighting with someone over wealth. The other person boasted that he'd eaten everything under heaven and on earth… The master was very angry, so he ordered us to be split open from crown to nape, and have our brains eaten raw... We were in so much pain, we cried day and night, but the master hired a Taoist priest to exorcise us.”
Ugh...
But that Taoist was an evil one, "Kikki kikki kikki..." He told the master that the heavenly spirit cap could be used as a wine vessel, holding human blood for appeasement, "Kikki kikki kikki..." In the end, the master was caught by the government... Uh..."
How is it Still reluctant to leave your owner
"You... your master's name is Shi, isn't it"
As far as I know, the most deviant wealthy person in ancient times was surnamed Shi.
The little ghost hesitated for a moment, then angrily retorted, “No way, master doesn’t have the surname Shi— ”
"Stop." I waved my hand, not like knowing this was another strange character. It seemed that the matter of like-kind fighting each other existed not only in times of famine.
"Humph, I'm not talking to you anymore! I'm going to go play!" the little devil said grumpily.
It's better to leave. Let Jiang Qiyun clean up after you...
Just as I was thinking this, suddenly I heard the sound of a brick rolling.
Click…
I was startled and turned around.
That little demon really went to play—went to play with that remaining headless female corpse.
It scrambled towards me, flipping bricks on the ground!
"Ah!!" I hurriedly drew out my Ruyi sceptre and recited the Bao Gao incantation. The Ruyi transformed into a sword-blade, and the corpse instantly stopped moving.
Don't always bully me, okay I may not be as accomplished and composed as Jiang Qiyun, nor do I have the domineering aura of Ji Duoxing who wants to fight ten people at once.
But you scared me! I'll do my best to resist too!
The divine tiger immediately rushed over and pounced onto the corpse's back, the blood remaining on its neck being squeezed out in a few drops.
A drop fell at my feet.
A hand with cracked skin shot out of the blood, reaching for my ankle. Suddenly, a faint red light appeared, and his fingers were "scorched" by the red light, sizzling and smoking black.
I was taken aback for a moment, unconsciously reaching out to touch my stomach... Had the little one finally "woken up"
Although Power is not as strong as Gui and Younan, it also knows how to protect itself.
The divine tiger bit down on his arm, dragging him outwards with all its might!
This little imp not only didn't panic, but actually giggled mischievously: "You can't win... giggle...giggle... Brother must have succeeded already..."
> devoid of any sincerity."I suspect that as long as we're in this imperial capital, nothing can escape the Lin family's watchful eyes," he muttered with a resigned expression."Xiao Qiao, in these two...
