ly rising——"Bound by karma, even burning incense and praying to the gods is useless."His gaze fell on the bewildered young mage, his tone softening slightly."If one has kind intentions, why mind not b..."Ah!" I was startled.

Playing dead!

At that moment, my mind went blank and I quickly retreated from the treehole.

Taking a few steps back to observe carefully, it didn't seem like there was any corpse change. Could it be due to bioelectricity

I reached out and felt beneath her nose, a faint breath there. But I couldn't be sure if it was wind or her.

I stood there, wrestling with my conscience. No matter what, she was my dad's wife and our mother. I couldn't just go digging a hole and bury her, could I

There was still a damp scarf around my neck, and I tentatively draped it over Ms. Xue's shoulders. She didn't react.

I can't tell if she's dead because of an electrical shock or not, I just don't know. She didn't react when I called her, and touching her body again didn't do anything either.

After all... blood is thicker than water, I can't just leave her out here in the wilderness.

Falling leaves return to their roots is a belief, but I can't bury her here.

I bound her to my back with a scarf from Baotou. Her body was stiff and incredibly light; I suspected I might be carrying an empty sack.

This feeling was a bit terrifying, having a living "person" stuck to my back.

I'm not familiar with the roads here and wouldn't dare to venture through the dense forest blindly. I can only retreat to the riverbank and walk upstream. This direction must lead back into the country.

The path Xie Ge led me on wasn't long. If I persevere, I should be able to see signs of civilization soon.

At midnight, Yu Yu walked alone, accompanied only by the moonlight and the flow of water.

And on his back, there was another relative who still didn't know the meaning of death.

I suddenly feel like I was too pampered before. Even walking a mountain path, I would cling to Mu Wanchen for support, and I thought it was perfectly normal.

Look, now that I'm here, what is there that I can't accept anymore

What's a mountain path compared to carrying a corpse

The moonlit night shone like water, yet darkness surrounded me, as deep and impenetrable as an abyss.

Mu Wanchen is not here, Mu Wanchen is not here...

If he doesn't show up again, I feel like I'm going to be done for.

All strength is pretense.

I came here alone for a couple of reasons: Aunt Lu threatened me, and I also had a sliver of hope.

Will he suddenly appear when I'm in danger

Either scold me angrily and passionately.

It's a pity, everything is gone. He's really gone.

He hinted more than once, saying that as the young princess, I must be strong and set an example for the clan...

Actually, I didn't take it to heart at all.

I only want him. No matter how much I give, all I want is for him to be by my side.

We still have so much to do together.

Outside the Ten Directions World, beyond the Nine Heavens, what grievances do those old immortals have with the Witch Clan

Why forget this place, without a moment's pity

I let out a long sigh and looked up at the night sky.

The moonlight was hazy, and the hooting of owls made one's hair stand on end.

Walking alone in such a place, the heartache and loneliness in one's heart are truly indescribable.

Why did Mu Wanchen leave me alone I'd rather take the risk with him.

This loneliness and confusion are so torturous, but I can't afford to be depressed. I have to remind myself that I'm pregnant.

...A pregnant woman... where would a pregnant woman be walking with a corpse in the deep mountains and old forests

I chuckled wryly, tilting my head to look at the stars and squinting to find the Big Dipper.

I've never used such a primitive method to find direction before. Now I realize that studying ancient books is beneficial and harmless.

When the east wind blows, all over the land it is spring.

Doesn't the book say that if you start at the opening of a spoon and find Tianchu and Tiansuan, then extend it five times in a straight line, you can find the North Star

I squinted for a long time, but I couldn't see the North Star anywhere.

But I saw a flash of silver.

In the distance, on the mountain, there was a faint and ethereal silver glow.

It seemed like a huge umbrella slowly unfolding, like a tiny moon.

The more I looked, the more excited I became. That definitely wasn't an ordinary glow—Little Sister-in-law came Master also came

Just now, the desolate mood I was in was swept away by half of this light. I rushed towards the light, over mountains and valleys—

"Yin Luo! Are you alright Why did you run off on your own without waiting for me..." The little wife hurried down the mountain.

"I..."

I don't know how to explain this suicidal mindset of mine—I'm deceiving myself, hoping that being in danger will make Mu Wanchen sense it.

"Oh... Who is this Who's behind you" The young mistress was startled when she saw Mrs. Xue on my back.

I gave a simple explanation, but the young wife shook her head and said, "It's unknown if the soul is still there. After all, it's so far away, and it went through the process of leaving the body..."

The little wife explained to me: “Deities manifest in the mortal world based on their faith. … Jiang Qiyun didn't want to cross the boundary, so he erected a spirit banner on the mountain. Ordinary people can't see it, but you certainly can. Just follow its direction and you'll find your way here…”

She hesitated for a moment, and said with some reluctance, "Let me help you. Carrying your mother's body all by yourself must be very heavy, right"

"It's fine, it's not heavy, I can carry it." I politely declined the little wife's kindness.

How could something like this trouble the little mistress Who would want to touch a "corpse" that has nothing to do with them

As I climbed the mountain, I told my junior wife about what I had seen. My junior wife was stunned: "Where is the bone of this refined little ghost"

"I don't know...didn't see anything." I shook my head.

She frowned slightly, a hint of frustration in her voice. "…Forget it. We've come this far already, and now the weather has turned. Let's just wait for the right opportunity to talk about it again."

"Little mistress, do you know this little demon"

Two or three years ago, the mother of this little demon was taken by the Seventh King. That female ghost was extremely violent and even tried to attack the Seventh King, but for some reason, the Seventh King didn't let her soul fly apart... I have always wanted to find the infant's bones to perform a ritual to liberate its soul, although it may not be very effective, it would sever the karmic bond and bring me peace of mind... Unexpectedly, I found him here. Let me think of a way with my brother when I get back."

It turns out there are such things. The world of yin and yang is vast, but also small. It's a roundabout journey where you inevitably encounter old acquaintances (or enemies).

The Mountain Emperor coldly looked down at us, a gigantic banner of the underworld floating above his head, with talismans swaying, like a celestial net covering us.

The little wife wanted to reach out and push the Mrs. Xue on my back, to lighten the weight for me.

The Emperor coldly opened his mouth and said, "Mu Xiaqiao, don't help her."

Both my wife and I jumped in surprise.

I thought His Imperial Majesty didn't want his young wife to touch the "corpse," so I awkwardly smiled and stepped back from her, lowering my voice: "My lady, I can carry it myself..."

Look, some people have husbands who care for and protect them.

As for me, I'm practically alone.

The little wife looked at the Emperor with puzzlement, as if asking him why he was so "cold-hearted".

The god of the Underworld twitched his lips slightly, his gaze stern, yet holding a hint of pity.

"...Some fates must be woven by her own hand. Mortals, what right do they have to enjoy the offerings of gods and witches Much suffering is necessary to avoid depleting one's blessings."

So that's how it is... The Heavenly Emperor always watches from afar, wanting to hone me

But I don't dare to hope for good fortune right now... I just want Mu Wanchen to hug me, okay

Of course, I didn't dare to say that out loud. I silently climbed to the top of the mountain.

The dawn broke on the horizon, and a searing beam of light instantly consumed my vision!

What's wrong I covered my eyes and waited for a while, then heard the Emperor speak softly, “……You’re here.”

> I stammered."...there there there, there's a demon—"As I spoke, I looked up. Jiang Qiyun’s cold gaze met mine, and he said reproachfully, “How many times have I told you Ghosts, monsters, and demons...
