e black handprints in our house!" My brother huffed, pointing upstairs.The hallway outside his room on the second floor was a disaster area. Just looking at all these footprints made me feel uneasy.Th...I can't imagine putting this thing in front of Jiang Qiyun, I wonder what his reaction would be.

He had already coldly said, “No need.”

I said that I could get pregnant, and he just replied: "Then get pregnant."

And, up to this point, he's never...ahem, never had anything outside of...that.

He was utterly tyrannical, demanding and unreasonable. He didn't care if I had to scrub for hours the next day. Some stains were too deep and would unexpectedly reappear during my daily activities, causing me intense itching and frustration that he couldn't possibly understand!

He declared complete ownership in this way.

To make him use this Impossible!

"Xiao Qiao, why don't you buy some as a backup You never know when it might come in handy," my brother said with a mischievous grin.

I shook my head, no way, no way. It's a waste of money and if he saw me buying it, he would definitely give me a good scolding.

My brother stroked his chin, gazing at the wooden implements laid out on the tray with an air of profound wisdom. He smiled mysteriously and said, "Based on my medical expertise, he should be among these three models!"

He fiddled with those gadgets with his fingers, I rolled my eyes, I was about to be driven crazy by him!

What on earth made him go into medicine Was it to overcome the trauma of seeing that female ghost commit suicide during his teenage years

"Xiao Qiao, don't disbelieve me! A male doctor once summarized a formula! 0.061 multiplied by height, then add 7.41 equals the length of what yellow people have at that time! But there is a fluctuation of two centimeters up and down." He complained: "Actually, this formula is useless! The difference of two centimeters fluctuates greatly!"

"You, you seem to have nothing better to do than spend your days researching these nonsensical theories. You've got so many theories, yet you still haven't found a wife... I swear, your grandpa is going to be furious with you!" I pulled him out of the shop.

As I walked out of the store, because it was crowded, I bumped straight into a dark shadow. In an instant, I felt a chill run down my spine. The shadow glanced at me and quickly scurried away from me.

"Brother… that's a ghost—Ugh—" I panicked and forgot all decorum!

My brother clamped his hand over my mouth and glared at me fiercely. The moment I spoke, the throng of silent figures that had been bustling about like a hushed performance turned to stare at me.

My heart is racing and agitated, as if something is gripping my throat, making it hard to breathe.

My brother dragged me toward the direction where the shadows were running.

The Yin Shan Ghost Market is a place where spirits gather and trade at the foot of Yin Mountain. Ghosts can hardly wander in.

But that icy feeling just now must have been a ghost. The ghostly energy here is too strong; it's easy to hide it.

And, why do you run away when you see me!

My brother brought me to an alleyway and let me go. He stuffed everything into my hands. I watched him rush up and use a talisman to bind the black shadow, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mu Xia Qiao." Jiang Qiyun suddenly appeared behind me, his voice laced with annoyance: "What are you shouting about in the Ghost Market!"

I covered my mouth and shook my head vigorously. I really didn't mean to. Just now, half of my body suddenly felt like it was plunging into an ice cave. I was caught off guard and scared.

Although this is a special area, it's at least under the shade of Yinshan Mountain. As soon as I opened my mouth, my yang energy was sucked away. Jiang Qiyun immediately felt it and rushed over without even having time to change his clothes.

By this time, it was past 9 o'clock in the morning. He worked such long hours every day... It seemed he wasn't lying when he said he would go to my place as soon as he finished his work.

He saw the various bags I was carrying, his face turned grim. He raised his hand and made a gesture, summoning the cute little ghost attendants and the clumsy one to appear.

"Greetings, Little Empress!" he exclaimed, rubbing his hands together excitedly. "Little Empress, are you here in the Ghost Market to buy things Would you like a driver to escort you back home"

I'm sweating buckets... You still want to drive my brother's car You haven't been scolded enough last time, have you

Two little goblins took the things from my hand. Jiang Qiyun looked at my brother who was carrying a dark shadow far away and asked, "What's going on"

I covered my mouth and could only shake my head. It's not safe to speak on the street here.

Jiang Qiyun didn't ask any further. Waiting for my brother to come over, we arrived at a teahouse under the Dongshi Gate.

"This guy is a ghost, and he ran away as soon as he saw me! My brother thought something was weird so he went after him." I patted my chest, just now Yin Shan had sucked a mouthful of yang energy from me, I need to go back and drink some tonic soup to replenish it.

My brother crouched down and pulled off the shadow's hat. Inside was a ghost, or maybe a living person!

"Tsk tsk, you're a living person, why not just come to the Ghost Market directly Did you pop out your soul Are you here to steal something" My brother pierced right through me.

The ghost looked at me, then at my brother, and said, "Family, let me go"

A family

My brother made a few hand gestures, which were the secret code used by the Mu clan to signal each other.

The ghost came back after all.

"Tsk, I didn't know our family was in the business of thievery too What did you steal Show me... Right, what's your name"

"... Mu Yuqing." The ghost looked at my brother with a hint of fear.

My brother was stunned: "A woman! Damn! You act like a boy! What did you steal Show me. You actually used a living soul to steal things in the ghost market, you're incredibly bold!"

Mu Yuqing hesitated and took out a black bag. My brother took it out and looked at it. It was a very complex thing, with many wooden bars fitting together repeatedly to form a strange shape.

Jiang Qiyun frowned: "Twenty-four Kongming locks"

He took it from my brother's hand and examined it carefully, frowning and asking, "Where did you steal this from"

Mu Yuqing said she received a commission to steal this treasure. It was a treasure from a rare goods shop. There was originally a pair, but the previous owner sold one because he needed money. This one refused to be sold, so the person who wanted it commissioned her to steal it.

Jiang Qiyun's eyes grew dimmer and dimmer, he tucked the thing into his sleeve: "This belongs to the underworld, it can't be leaked out."

"Huh He's... robbing! "

Two little devils immediately dropped what they were holding and, with discerning eyes, held Mu Yuqing down. They asked, “Your Majesty the Emperor, should we take her to Zhoushou Yintian Palace to be punished”

Jiang Qiyun gave me a look, letting me experience it myself.

I thought to myself, you're already blatantly stealing... why do you still need me to cooperate with you

"That... just let her off this once" My acting has always been terrible, I can't even make up lines.

The adorable little ghost messenger chuckled and said, "Your Majesty begged for mercy, so naturally the Emperor will show leniency. Let's send her soul away first!"

Since he got promoted, he's become much more clever...

Once they were gone, I said to Jiang Qiyun, "You could just openly steal it, you don't need me to cover for you! Just a glance Who can understand that"

Jiang Qiyun slightly raised her thin lips and glanced at me: "Didn't you understand Little empress..."

I……

My cultivation is truly too shallow, one look and one word from him can make my ears burn.

My brother was squatting on the ground, sighing heavily —

"...This invisible dog food, came out of nowhere!"... Then where is she now!"The old woman's face twitched: "I also want to ask you, have you seen her""...."It seems we're heading to the Witch King City. There should still be some people there who ha...
