I heard that.TheStar Wolf is still young, he has a future ahead of him. He can't become this monstrous, in-between thing, he can't lose his five senses and that, that other side of his abilities."Who...The blue smoke was soft and graceful, swirling and taking shape.

An image of a girl who looked even younger than me gradually became clearer.

Her soul seemed somewhat thin, her facial expression cold and wary.

"Who are you" she asked me.

I can't make a sound, I can only blink and shake my head to show that I don't mean to intrude.

Following behind, Shen Qingrui sneered, "She's the new... eye of the formation."

The girl's soul paused for a moment, then asked, "Who are you"

Shen Qingrui hugged her arms and stood behind me, faintly replied: "Who am I Qingluan, you've been here for too long, your brain has become dull, it's me, Qingrui. After you entered here, the Emperor worried that the Shen family would be out of control, so he let me be reborn into the Shen family to take your place."

Qingluan This girl's name is Qingluan Is she also Jiang Qiyun's maidservant

The girl propped her forehead, shaking slightly. Her gaze gradually regained clarity, the vigilance on her face fading as she smiled at Shen Qingrui: “It’s actually Sister Qingrui… Ah, how long have I been here It's pitch black here. After my physical body was destroyed, I forgot the passage of time. I just felt like I couldn't hold on any longer, and then Emperor Jun sent a new array eye. It really came at the right time.”

Shen Qingrui glanced at me with a mocking smile and said to the girl named Qingluan, "The Emperor has said he will send you back to the underworld. He values you so much, how could he forget his promise to you Isn't this...someone coming to take your place"

I looked at Shen Qingru, I didn't believe what she said.

Given her previous attitude towards me, she would have loved to leave me utterly broken.

Therefore, I can only hear half of what she says.

Jiang Qiyun was very angry when I brought up how many women he had been with before. Even though this Qingluan had once served him, it didn't really concern me. It's best not to ask or think about it.

Qingluan heard Shen Qingrui's words and couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty is so kind. When my position was just broken through, I was still thinking that if I really couldn't hold on tonight, I would simply destroy my soul in a final attempt..."

She looks just like a little girl. Shen Qingrui said she came in at sixteen, so... isn't that just like me two years ago Even if she was once someone from the Underworld, wouldn't she be afraid to die with her own body

And from her words, it seemed she was prepared to do anything for this formation, even sacrificing her own soul and spirit for Jiang Qiyun's command.

Compared to that, I wouldn't even want to lose a single child. My sense of awareness is truly too low.

Does Jiang Qiyun think I'm bothering him I wasn't obedient before and made him angry. Probably no one has ever made him so upset, right

I couldn't help but smile wryly.

Shen Qingrui couldn't bear Jiang Qiyun being kind to me, and she didn't want Jiang Qiyun to waste his cultivation by using magic in the mortal realm to transform lotus flowers into bones. She did everything she could for the Emperor.

This Qingluan is also something else, coming here on a mission, her physical body dispersing, her soul lonely, still wanting to press down one last time even as her divine soul was about to be extinguished.

Compared to them, what have I given

“New formation eye, are you afraid” Qingluan drifted softly in front of me, turning back to point at the small skeleton on the cushion: “That cushion is where the formation eye of the sealing array is located. Move my bones away, and you can sit cross-legged on it... Actually, there’s nothing to be afraid of. The cushion will absorb your mana to suppress the evil energy below. It will just hurt a bit, you have to endure it...”

She paused for a moment, then whispered, "It actually hurts... By the way, you probably don't have many bad thoughts, do you"

Evil thoughts

I have no hope that others will die, I don't curse anyone, and I haven't done anything that harms heaven and earth. There shouldn't be any evil thoughts, right

“Your eyes are very beautiful, and your gaze is also clear. You probably don't have many evil thoughts, so there's nothing to be afraid of!” Qingluan stared at me, “Evil thoughts gather in the heart, becoming a terrifying self. Since you don't have many evil thoughts, you can stay clear-minded and won't be dragged down by evil energy——”

Drag it down!

To be dragged into that den of demons, like a maggot or a venomous snake!

My eyes widened in surprise, and I shook my head involuntarily.

Qingluan gave me a strange look and asked, "Didn't you willingly come in to be the eye of the formation Those who come to be the eye of the formation can reincarnate as humans completely, and they can even increase their blessings. Don't be afraid."

Shen Qingrui roared, "Qingluan, why are you talking to her so much Just leave! Don't waste time! The seismic position just collapsed. The formation might be destroyed in an instant. Your Majesty still wants to wait until noon tomorrow... Humph, how many more lives will it take to fill the gap!"

Shen Qingrui whispered viciously into my ear, "For your tears time and again, the Emperor Lord has thought of countless ways to protect you and the child in your womb. Delaying time means sacrificing other lives to guard yours. Whose karma is this!"

“ ... Your precious brother is also at the epicenter right now. I don't know if he's still alive, hmph!”

I knew she would definitely add that.

Shen Qingrui convened a meeting of influential families to discuss countermeasures. Is that what he's trying to use to threaten me My dad and brother are both eldest sons and grandsons. I couldn't accept either of them getting hurt.

I lowered my eyes. Jiang Qiyun had never told me these things before. I foolishly thought he was tormenting me. I jokingly mentioned once that I would guard the sealing array, and he even scolded me...

The bones in the room suddenly jolted, Qingluan exclaimed in fear, "The Xun position has also been broken! Is there someone guarding the Xun position!"

Xun represents wind, located in the southeast direction. It belongs to the wood element, the number five, and symbolizes eldest daughters, widows, and monks.

Shen Qingrui let out a long sigh and said, “There are few Kun Dao to begin with. Where can we find so many Kun Dao who meet the requirements of the Xun position to guard the formation This is the most difficult position to defend…”

She raised her hand, undoing the spell on my wrists and mouth: "Mu Xia Qiao, the decision is yours. At this rate, if just one more direction of the formation is broken, no one here will survive. We don't care, we can always return to the underworld. But the others..." she sneered.

"Finally able to speak, I let out a long sigh: 'Shen Qingrui, there's something you've misunderstood. I'm not afraid of death, I just... don't want to leave his child.' "

I wryly smiled, it turns out Jiang Qiyun could also be flustered. If two years ago he had been ruthless and indifferent to my life or death, then everything would have ended then, and I wouldn't have to part with anything so difficult.

The formation trembled once more, sending Qingluan's bones scattering. Beneath the cushion, a black liquid oozed out like ink spilled from an overturned inkstone.

The terror in Qingluan's eyes and the severity on Shen Qingrui's face left me blank. Before I could react, Qingluan had already pounced.

It is said that at the last moment of life, one's mind will be filled with a kaleidoscope of memories, recalling the most profound faces and scenes in their heart.

But all I could think of was that clear voice whispering in my ear: "Xiao Qiao, my wife..."

Jiang Qiyun...Qiyun...

If you truly feel compassion, you shouldn't have let me fall in love with you. It only adds to the karmic burden of both of us.I was worried something would happen, so I came to take a look, gun and all!”He raised a hand, and sure enough there was a black handgun.“...I didn't even dare to shoot.” He chuckled wryly."You should...
