t ghost.I thought that was the end of it, but the corpse demon's belly swelled like a balloon with the plug pulled out. The internal pressure suddenly increased, and pools of liquefied blood flew out...The old woman's room was in the yard, connected to the main three-story building. It had originally been a storeroom, next to the garage.

The garage has now been turned into her Chinese medicine shop, and many people still come to seek prescriptions and have their medicine boiled every day.

I remember one time my grandma asked my brother to get her a smartphone so she could collect payments. It saved her from having to carry around a box of loose change and making my brother run to the bank.

This old lady's shop is purely for passing the time in her later years and incidentally benefiting society. As for money Neither my brother nor I know how much she has.

Besides, she usually doesn't spend any money. We take care of her food, clothing, and shelter. She doesn't even have much cash in her shop.

Why would someone steal from her room

If it's a seasoned burglar, they should know to pry open the back door to my yard.

Now the Land God is out with his ghostly soldiers surrounding Mount ____, and no one's home at our place. Stealing something would be a perfect opportunity.

I saw my brother's headlights turn off at the end of the alley, and then the gate in the yard silently creaked open. My brother slipped inside.

A barrier has been set up around me by Jiang Qiyun, and he himself has gone down.

There was a feeling of déjà vu—my brother and Jiang Qiyun had once teamed up to catch a thief before.

I stood in the room, unwilling to go downstairs and cause more trouble for them. Instead, I quickly packed my things and focused on the sounds from below.

Soon I heard the sound of a fight. My brother fights in a very flamboyant and domineering way.

In hand a stick, the world is mine, I fear not even ten opponents.

Jiang Qiyun appeared in the backyard, and my brother was pounding that person on the ground.

"Brother-in-law! Turn on the lights!"

The lights in the yard came on, and the man in the black cloak on the ground was being ridden by my brother, with his neck gripped tight, unable to move.

My brother reached out and lifted the man's cloak, revealing the face of a middle-aged man.

Who is this Xie Chang'an

My brother was also stunned: "Who are you You dare to come to my house and steal things! Are you looking for death!"

I couldn't read the man's expression, but it was clear he didn't want to answer my brother's question. He was struggling desperately.

His struggling movements were strange, swaying back and forth under my brother, his hands grabbing onto my brother's wrists and pulling them apart forcefully.

Jiang Qiyun saw this and raised his hand to form a seal—

The man seemed to sense danger, and suddenly his whole body trembled violently!

His head came off!

Dragging a long, fleshy tail, the entire head detached from its body!

My brother jumped back in fright and shouted.

"Holy **! What the hell is this! Headless!"

Lu Tou Shi was my brother's Achilles heel. He was so bold, even getting scared by his cousin and rolling off the bed.

This thing is truly terrifying, a head with a snake's tail... It's not like the ancient divine beast of the candle dragon. This cheap imitation looks sickening and horrifying.

That head, dragging its intestines, suddenly rolled backwards and tumbled into a space rift.

Jiang Qiyun walked forward and squatted down to check the headless "body." My brother jumped up and ran out to bring Lin Yanqin, who was still in the car, inside.

My heart was pounding like crazy. What the heck was this!

My house is completely defenseless right now, with no one watching over it from either the world of the living or the spirit realm. And there's still quite a bit of valuable stuff in the basement. If it were just greedy thieves I could understand, but what would a mischievous ghost possibly want in my home

Is this Xie Chang'an

He wore a mask of human skin.

I was just thinking about this, when suddenly I felt my eyes blur — how did a black line seem to appear in front of me

I raised my hand to rub my eyes, but suddenly the black line before me emitted a faint wisp of mist. It then seemed to open wide like a toad—

This is a response to your request. Please note that I have only translated the text within the > tags and kept the HTML tags as they were. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The person's head appeared before my eyes.

I widened my eyes and covered my mouth to stifle a scream.

This is a picture of an ordinary-looking man's face, however, the back of his neck has a fleshy, scale-less "tail".

His face was a study in expressions, fear and caution etched into his features as he scrambled out of the fissure.

A head dragging its tail across the floor... that's just...

He is looking for something.

He first looked around my room cautiously, but my room was simple and tidy, with no apparent place to hide anything. He pulled open a drawer with his "tail" and took a look, showing no interest before opening the door and scurrying out.

Jiang Qiyun almost appeared before me instantly. I pointed in fear at the doorway, and he nodded slightly, acknowledging my gesture.

What is that

I ignored the pain in my shoulder and wanted to follow them down and see what this monster was looking for.

Jiang Qiyun quietly pinched the incantation, and soon I heard a soft click coming from the shrine below.

"Ouch! What in the world is this!" came a voice from below.

He was startled, but he immediately took off the gourd. The mouth of the gourd was aimed at the staircase. As Jiang Qiyun appeared on the top, the thing scurried down in fear. The child used magic to suck it into the gourd.

"My Lord Emperor, what on earth is this thing It's so ugly! Won't it dirty the great gourd" the little boy worriedly asked.

Jiang Qiyun said lightly, "Just change it if it's dirty."

My brother brought Lin Yanqin back, and we squatted in the yard studying that remaining "headless corpse." We found that the body was covered in wrinkled skin.

To what extent is it wrinkled

Just like layers of folded origami paper.

"What kind of monster is this" My brother looked at Jiang Qiyun.

Yang Qi returns to heaven, Yin Qi returns to the underworld, Yin and Yang two Qi become human world, this is the three realms.

Besides, over time, inanimate objects can become demons, fairies, gods and monsters, or even chaos, transforming into devils. In the human world, there are often goblins, spirits of mountains and forests, as well as occasional appearances of demons and ghosts.

Jiang Qiyun replied, "This looks like the leftover skin of a snake demon."

"Huh Isn't he a person How did he become a snake demon" My brother wondered.

The little boy shook the large gourd and said to Jiang Qiyun, “Great Emperor, do you want to send the Lu Xian Gu back to its original form”

"There's no need to look any further. This is a monster fused with a serpent demon. Heaven and earth are vast and mysterious, with countless wonders. Why bother scrutinizing every magical power Since we have the chance to see it, record it. If we don't, let it be." Jiang Qiyun said indifferently.

He said it with nonchalance.

Looking around, it's just an ordinary courtyard in the city with grey brick and glazed tile, imitating ancient architecture.

Yet, he could make her feel inexplicably detached from the world with just a few words.

Beyond this wall, there is the clamor of passersby. Within its walls, however, it has long ceased to be an ordinary world.

I gave my brother a quick explanation, and he looked at the bloodstain on my shoulder, frowning. "Go," he said. "I'll take care of everything here—the two little troublemakers and everyone else. You don't need to worry."

"That's it " I said with a slightly disgruntled smile. "You also take good care of Yanqin, and I'll be back soon!"

Lin Yanqin winked at me and said, "Xiao Qiao, come back early, the two of us..."

What are we doing together

She made a round motion with her hands in front of her.

Pffff...

Wanna go shopping while I'm still pregnant I think my brother would be so stressed that he wouldn't even play games. He'd just follow behind like a bodyguard, haha.ting about a deserted place.Before I could finish speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared on the stone where we were hiding.We jumped and ducked to the sides, turning back to see what was behind us.A com...
