...If a ghost portal was really opened here, how could we possibly seal it Would this place become the second Huangdao Village" I asked him nervously.He shook his head: “It’s not that bad. Huangdao V...Behind me should be Mu Wanchen, right

But he would never urge me to go forward, this faint voice belonged to whom I knew not.

Only moonlight and mist surrounded them, and the only "person" visible was the distant female ghost standing there.

What was her name again… Si Jin

She always appears so unexpectedly in front of me. What on earth does she want to do

"Si Jin... Do you have something to tell me" I walked towards the altar.

The moonlight was like water, the shadows of the altar pillars covered most of her face. I remember seeing it once, blood flowing from her seven orifices, terrifyingly so.

A barely audible sound mingled with the flowing water, as if whispering softly, "Go...go..."

Where are you taking me Up to the altar

During this time of confusion in my heart, I had already walked to the foot of the altar. On the steps, was a flash of scarlet red.

Does she still have any remnants of consciousness Or is she just an image

I couldn't help but walk up to Si Jin Yin's apparition and wave my hand in front of her face.

No response.

I reached out and fanned her again, like a fly swatter.

Her body rippled gently—like a mere image, as if it were only an apparition.

"You always come out to scare people, what do you even want Can we talk about this" I said helplessly.

The resentful voice by my ear instantly became clear: "You could… you took my things… it's time to return them to me…"

"What did you take from me" I couldn't help but raise my hand and ask, "This bracelet Is this Mu Wanchen's thing You're already gone, just pass on peacefully. Don't be delusional anymore, the dead cannot return to life—even if they could, you wouldn't be able to raise a female gu."

"Mu Wanchen was always a bit aloof, giving off an air of not being interested in women. If it weren't for my ability to raise the female gu, he probably wouldn't even spare me a glance. Don't force it, just accept your fate and reincarnate. Find your soulmate in your next life."

Although it's said that Mu Wanchen doesn't consort with women, I have to admit I'm a little uneasy. He's not exactly aloof to women, just more restrained. But he can also be quite direct and say things that pop the pink bubble right away.

But he's actually pretty warm and doesn't act like a creep. This personality should have quite a few little fans in their Mi River basin sect.

"We... let's talk this over..." That faint voice murmured, wavering in the air.

"What are you discussing" I asked, frowning.

"...You, go find Si Huang. She knows what kind of curse I left behind. If she removes the curse, I won't appear again... But the price is this bracelet." A ghostly voice whispered in her ear.

“This bracelet is just a charm to ward off ordinary poisons for you. It's useless with the female venom in your body…” she said softly and slowly.

I furrowed my brow slightly, pondering for a moment.

If it has no use, then why would she take it

"...This is my resentment. I want to be his wife, but... even giving my life wouldn't fulfill my heart's desire. Let me just leave peacefully... I've stayed for many years and don't want to delay reincarnation any longer because of obsession."

Is that really true I have some doubts in my heart.

"You're already dead, what use is this bracelet"

"The curse of obsession lies here, this thing cannot be buried in a grave, my wisp of resentment is always tied to it..."

She let out a long, weary sigh: "You've grown closer to the God King, your spirit energy guided and growing stronger. That's how I can manifest and speak with you... This altar is my temporary abode as a phantom. The God King's power is too immense; I can't even get near him..."

I rolled my eyes inwardly. "It's better this way," I thought, keeping my distance.

“This isn’t just about warding off pests, Mu Wanchen said it’s also a symbol. I can’t give it to you, why don’t you talk to him yourself If he agrees to bury it with you, I have no problem.” I shrugged.

Tokens are just a form of recognition. If Mu Wanchen truly recognized someone as his wife in his heart, then the token wouldn't be so important.

Material possessions are ultimately fleeting, but human connection is the most precious treasure.

Is Si Jin's soul so attached to this bracelet, truly out of deep love and unwavering devotion until death

"...He wouldn't agree... I know him... Although he never paid attention to me, I've admired him from afar for years. He wouldn't give up anything left by the ancient god-kings—especially his people, so... telling him would be pointless." Si Jin's voice held a hint of tenderness.

This makes me a little curious, the women of the Si clan are all quite sharp and domineering. Could it be that Si Jin is an exception

"Yin Luo, if you want me to disappear completely... remember to find Si Huang... the exorcism spell, bury this bracelet in my grave..." Her voice grew more and more faint, and her image began to blur.

"Hey hey, I never agreed to that! You go talk to Mu Wanchen yourself!" I shouted towards the empty altar.

The ghost was gone, leaving me alone here.

Moonlight bathed the scene, casting a silvery glow upon everything. A faint mist hung in the air, swirling softly around the surrounding gloom.

How should I wake up Mu Wanchen, that idiot, didn't notice anything was wrong with my dream

Well, I don't seem to be able to find that either.

I walk the path I usually take, mumbling to myself as I go — what's so great about Mu Wanchen Everyone is so infatuated with him, even in death they still yearn to be his wife.

A sudden warmth spread through my abdomen, and I stopped to cover it with my hand. It was so hot!

It feels like a small flame is running around in my dantian.

What's going on What's wrong with the female gu

Is it still her favorite place, even though the nights here are so cold

As I was wavering between continuing forward or staying here to bask in the moonlight, my lower back was suddenly yanked with force. My whole body felt like it had been pulled out of water, and my mind went blank—

"... Wake up." He was slapped twice on the cheeks.

I opened my eyes, focusing, Mu Wanchen's brow and eyes were so close.

A person with features as delicate as a painting is so beautiful, no matter how you look at them. The dragon scales at the corners of their eyes give them an air of mystery, but they're sitting...

Such close proximity.

I struggled slightly, but he tightened his arms, asking in a low voice, "What were you whispering just now I heard the name Si Jin."

"You, why don't you just relax a little bit first."

"Don't let go, the female Gu just grew a little, the male Gu is reacting very strongly." He said calmly: "What did Si Jin ask you to do—"
