g deal! Many rich people show off with things like this antique. This was dug up by an acquaintance of mine. I wouldn't dare say it's authentic, but it's at least from the Yuan Dynasty...""Come on, th...Under my feet was an old house, and I stood precariously about four stories high.

That narrow alleyway seemed to have something unseen passing through it. Some windows and doors that weren't properly closed were flung open, and low-hanging wires were snapped, sparking with electricity.

However, this unseen thing quickly vanished into the darkness, as if swept away by the wind... This tactic is very similar to Mu Wanchen's.

Standing this high, even though Mu Wanchen was holding my shoulders, I was so nervous that I reached out and gripped the back of his clothes.

"Are you the ones trying to harm me Is this your witchcraft!" Although I was terrified inside, I couldn't back down.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly and said, "It is, but it isn't."

"Perhaps you appeared within my cultivation, and some people found out. Those people didn't want me to become the Gu King..." Mu Wanchen's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

I was a little angry, glaring at him. I really wanted to slap him: "I only went out for a good deed, how did I provoke so many weird people! Who doesn't want you to become the Gu King, why don't they go find you What are you trying to do by picking on me!"

"A female Gu can't be raised to be large, nor can it become a Gu King." Mu Wanchen replied.

To bully me is indeed the most convenient and quickest way.

Compared to the difficulty of killing Mu Wanchen, the difficulty of killing me is so much higher that even a fool would choose to attack me.

"We... can we go down and talk It's so high up and there's no place to land, I'm a little scared..." I said honestly.

The cold feeling in the alleyway below disappeared. After the lightbulb blew, the whole alley was dark.

I couldn't bear to let go of him, my hands gripping tightly at his waist.

"Old geezer, this lousy light bulb blew! Call the neighborhood committee to get a new one!" An old lady opened the door and besides the broken glass on the ground, she saw us.

"Humph! What a nerve! Snuggling around in the dark!" She yelled at me.

"It's none of your business, watch out for getting a sty!" I was still seething with anger and nowhere to vent it!

The aunt let out a loud, "Yo ho!" and crossed her arms, rolling up her sleeves as if she was about to have a heated discussion with me about morality.

Mù Wǎn Chén's hand moved, and the lightbulb in her courtyard "popped" and went out.

The aunt jumped in fright and slammed the door shut, shouting in the yard, "What kind of light bulb is committing suicide! One or two exploding for what!"

The aunt's interruption quelled most of the anger I had toward Mu Wanchen.

"You're pretty fierce." Mu Wanchen said.

What You dare say I'm fierce

I was about to retort, but Mu Wanchen added solemnly, "...strong on the outside, weak on the inside."

I squeezed his waist as hard as I could, but it didn't even feel like an itch to him.

"What brings you here You came alone, didn't you say to be careful" His tone was slightly displeased.

"I'm just here to see who wants to harm me." I scoffed, "With Mu Wanchen, the Great Sorcerer King, here, I have nothing to fear. What's a witch"

I told him about the witch who mistook me for my sister, Yin Yue. She taught "Yin Yue" to use a life-borrowing spell to harm me, replenish her yang energy, empower that female ghost, and then attract the attention of the Underworld's ghost officials.

I didn't dare to leave Mu Wanchen's side, clutching his waist and hiding half in his arms as I spoke. The woman next door had replaced the light bulbs, she opened her door again and shouted: "You young people, go home and get intimate! Don't be out on the street like this! It's an eyesore!"

“Main Street This alley is Main Street, then all your wrinkles make you as beautiful as a flower!”

"...Go." Mu Wanchen pulled me away, not letting me argue with that woman.

I made a spooky face at the old woman, she kept ranting and raving until we both left.

True Qi person.

She's really outspoken, that aunt must be envious and jealous! I really want to see what her husband looks like, how could he marry such a formidable shrew.

"Where does that witch live" Mu Wanchen asked in a low voice.

He dragged me into the dark alley. I swallowed nervously, he seemed pretty dangerous too, all in black. Just a glance could scare you.

“I remember it was right here...over there. Just now a big black cat rushed at me and hissed...Hey, why is it so quiet now”

The meowing had stopped, and I had just slammed the gate to the yard shut.

I want to hide behind Mu Wanchen's back, but I'm afraid of my own back being exposed in the darkness.

So she burrowed beneath his ribs, hidden within the folds of his cloak.

"Should I ring the doorbell" I whispered.

Mu Wanchen slightly surveyed the yard, shook his head, and said, “I’ll lead you in.”

He seemed to have the art of crossing realms. Just now, his appearance was like that - a gentle breeze rippling the night curtain, and he stepped out of behind it as if walking on air.

He held me in one arm and brought me into the courtyard from outside the wall.

If a cat walks almost silently, Mu Wanchen's actions are even more like dust in the air, light and airy to the point of being imperceptible.

I heard some rustling sounds. Mu Wanchen was about to step forward but stopped. He bent down and looked, and I went closer to him, pressing against him, wanting to see what he'd found.

There was a clump of fur on the ground.

A small, dishevelled clump of black fur.

My scalp tingled, I grabbed Mu Wanchen's arm and desperately mouthed: It's that big black cat——

How could there be fur here!

And where was that rustling sound coming from

Grandmother Chung's house had already turned off the lights, she must be asleep For someone her age, watching the weather forecast is considered staying up late.

The little building's door was still open, just as it was when I left.

Mu Wanchen took a step forward, and I grabbed his arm. He turned around and pushed my hand away. I thought he found me annoying, but to my surprise, he reached out and took my hand again, pulling me along with him.

Not afraid, not afraid, not afraid... As long as the Great Shaman is here, who would I be afraid of, a mere witch

Grandma Zhong was still lying on the ground, with several newspapers scattered around her. She was still in the same position where she had fallen when I left, but now her head was stretched under the glass table.

Her body was twitching slightly, what Did she suddenly have a seizure

As soon as I straightened up to try and save him, Mu Wanchen squeezed my wrist hard, reminding me to stay silent and still.

He drew a short sword with its sheath from behind his waist, and tapped the scabbard on the ground. Something unseen emerged from within his scabbard, and I saw the newspaper being trampled.

Wow, what is this thing

Then, the object crept all the way to Granny Zhong's side, and she suddenly stopped twitching.

" … alright, do you want to see it" Mu Wanchen suddenly asked me.

Huh Can you speak now

Of course I have to watch, I'm both afraid and curious...

Mu Wanchen walked over and kicked the tea table with his foot. I saw Granny Zhong's mouth was open like a bowl, and the black cat's head was stuck in her mouth...is man's life basically embodies all the taboos of Daoist cultivation, without a shred of the concept of health preservation. He ended up like this, so it serves him right.My father was a learned old...
