inevitably gradual extinction.If it weren't for Mu Wanchen's spiritual power that commanded the trees and plants to stabilize the Wuzhangcheng, those people would probably have been killed or injured...Cheng Banxian looked at me with a complex expression: "What kind of evil thought is this At most, it's just some complaining! True evil thoughts are the ones that drive people mad. You two siblings are so special—"

"Can even someone as optimistic as my brother have evil thoughts" I couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, who doesn't have some evil thoughts Even immortals need to eliminate their evil thoughts, let alone mortals." Cheng Banshen's facial scars gradually faded away, this bit of corpse qi didn't affect him much.

"What's my brother's evil thought" I'm dying to know.

"What else could it be They're so silly, their thoughts are so ridiculous! It's just...hehe, I'll keep it a secret. Even for Little Empress, I can't say."

"So principled" I rolled my eyes, not really intending to delve into my brother's inner world.

Who hasn't felt some emotions Analyzing things too deeply can hurt feelings.

Cheng Banxian sneered, “Little Empress, your evil thoughts are too ‘special’...tsk tsk…”

I blushed, biting my lip and stealing a glance at Jiang Qiyun.

He had a slight smile on his lips, stood there calmly with his hands behind his back, not the slightest bit embarrassed.

His faint smile was driving me crazy.

And as if that wasn't bad enough, when he reached out to pull me up, he even mocked me —

"Where did you get such wicked thoughts Mu Xiaoqiao, your head is full of lust…" He leaned into my ear and chuckled softly.

I'm so embarrassed, does this count!

"Not at all! It's just a vivid memory, isn't it"

"Those are the most memorable ones" he asked with a smile.

"Who lets you speak your heart only at times like this!" I hurriedly got off the bed to hide my embarrassment.

The last words that echoed in my mind just now still give me chills.

I seem to have discovered some deeply hidden emotions.

My brother just lazily says he won't get married whenever he talks about personal issues. He has always adhered to his commitment to not getting married.

Actually, I don't really want to pressure him. It's just that his careless attitude makes me unsure of things.

If he truly insists on not getting married, my dad and I won't force him into arranged dates or marriage certificates. We would definitely respect his personal choice.

He can play with his life, but he shouldn't treat his feelings as if they were nothing. He is young now, and he can play for ten, twenty, or even thirty years, but when he gets old and alone in the end, it will be rather pitiful to think about.

Humans are social animals, even the most aloof person has moments of tenderness.

Sometimes solitude is a personality, but throughout life it's desolate.

"Qiyun, could you please check my brother's life story It shouldn't be a burden for the Underworld God to flip through the Book of Life and Death, right" I was anxious and wanted to find a backdoor.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me and lazily asked, "Who are you finding a wife for again"

"I just wanted to see if my brother really didn't want to get married."

He reached out and pinched my chin, whispering, "Didn't you calculate your destiny He has true love."

I tilted my head and pondered. My brother's attitude towards Miss Lin was cold and ruthless, as if treating an enemy from a different class. It didn't look like true love at all.

"My brother seems to be the same with all women. He doesn't seem to have a preference for anyone." I leaned against the bed and took out my phone, wanting to text my brother to ask where he was and how things were going.

Before he could press a few more keys, Jiang Qiyun snatched his phone away.

"Xiao Qiao, he's especially nice to you... haven't you noticed" he chuckled softly.

“What do you mean It’s not like he’s doing anything wrong to me. Family and love are different things, aren’t they…”

Jiang Qiyun shook his head: "I've watched the world of humans come and go, and I've found that no matter how much love is given, it always requires a return. Otherwise, it will eventually turn to ashes in the end... Only family can be given without expecting anything in return."

He paused, looking at me with a half-smile, and said ambiguously, "Your older brother is a very intelligent person..."

Very clever Calling him a shrewd businessman, a cunning fox, or a jack-of-all-trades wouldn't be wrong.

But hearing from Jiang Qi that he was exceptionally intelligent, I wonder if that's a bit too much praise

He could keep himself within a controllable range, never overstepping his bounds. From his inner thoughts to his actions, he could discard all complex desires. This kind of spiritual awareness is difficult even for ordinary lesser gods to achieve. He was born with extraordinary intelligence and exceptional comprehension.

“You have such a high opinion of him.”

"Hmph... Of course... He's protective of you, going to any lengths and asking for nothing in return. This kind of feeling is hard to replicate, so he has little interest in other women because he understands that the initial beauty fades in an instant and is difficult to find again." Jiang Qiyun smiled faintly.

But my heart was beating wildly in my chest.

What does that mean Jiang Qiyun spoke in roundabout terms, but I figured a lot of things out.

My brother once said that having charm is a matter of first impressions, some things are decided at first glance.

In Miss Lin's room, when Miss Lin woke up and saw my brother covering my head so I wouldn't see the pieces of flesh from the Taoist priest, her first words were: You two siblings have a problem, huh

In that case, the person my brother likes is actually—

I looked up at Jiang Qiyun.

He gently brushed the strands of hair from my forehead and said calmly, “The you at sixteen left an irreplaceable feeling in his first impression.”

I bit my lip silently: "But he's my brother..."

“Yes, that’s why I said he was exceptionally intelligent. He could confine himself to familial ties and quickly discard impurities and evil desires. This is something that many gods and immortals who sought enlightenment couldn't achieve.”

"Well, I guess I'll have to treat my brother better from now on. I kept him waiting." I smiled wryly, trying to sound lighthearted.

"Well, you're good to him and he's good to you, it's understandable. I approve."

Then should I also thank the Emperor for his magnanimity

I fished out my phone and contacted my brother, sending him a text. He called back almost immediately.

"Xiao Qiao! Something big has happened!" my brother shouted.

I was taken aback. No way, did something big just happen right after we left Then I'd better go back and check it out —

Jiang Qiyun immediately conjured a passage. Now that the protective barrier of Miao Wang City was damaged, it would be easy for Jiang Qiyun to return to where he had just left.

"Wait a minute! Don't rush over here!" His voice was laced with exasperation. "Go to the bank first and withdraw some money, like 100,000 or 80,000, and bring it here!"

"Huh Withdraw money RMB" Make sure it's not spirit money.

"Yeah! We chased them out, now we're on the outskirts of this little county town. That Meng Shu and Brother Long, in order to prevent a corpse from absorbing living energy, killed all the chickens, ducks, fish and geese of a farmhouse! Damn it, they're now holding me responsible and demanding compensation! My car's been impounded too!"

I……ager cultivation, we can only avoid the limelight of this female ghost.'""I'm not asking you to interfere, I just want you to come in and see if anyone is home." I explained hastily.The little ghosts...
