What are Deities (2)

nks glanced at each other and backed away.They didn't leave, quietly following us from behind.I whispered to the Seventh Earth God, “These two ghost messengers are here to watch us…”Bai Qiye curled hi...Great supernatural powers, boundless magical power.

I always thought this only existed in the fantasies of mortals.

There are no words to describe the ethereal and mystical gods, demons, fairies, and ghosts. We can only rely on imagination to sketch their appearances and sing praises of their magical techniques.

By the power of Dharma, he helps all sentient beings and liberates them from samsara. All living beings are born into the cycle of rebirth.

Rewarding good and punishing evil, respecting heaven and ancestors, all are formless, shapeless, and profoundly mysterious.

Beyond words.

The lake water was boiling, as if stirring up mud, and the water turned yellow.

Not only were the ghosts and demons that haunted the Ghost Building, but even faraway solitary spirits and wandering ghosts were drawn in, like stones being pulled into a whirlpool.

Around me, I don't know when, a dense crowd of ghost officials and messengers had gathered. A man in official robes led them to bow and prostrate themselves.

My brother quietly tugged on my sleeve, pulling me back from my daze.

He quietly pointed to the bowing figure, "The City God isn't sitting in his temple, he came here to pay respects to the great leader..."

My throat was a little dry, and my palms were sweating from nerves.

Even ordinary people who couldn't see ghosts and spirits were terrified, doubting if they were dreaming when they saw the strange changes in the lake water at Tianxiang Lake.

Bai Wuchang did not kneel, still with that ethereal and untethered appearance. He silently landed beside me, uttering softly, "The Emperor has drawn the Huangquan water to break the boundary and pour it back in reverse, these ghosts and spirits will be afflicted until they are reduced to ashes."

"Explain this to me" I asked, shrinking back from him slightly.

I always felt like he was subtly hinting at something from the beginning, every word carrying a hidden meaning.

White Without Form, with a sinister gaze and blood-red lips curled in a smirk, glanced at me and said in a low voice: "Therefore, I have long advised the Emperor… Human hearts are the greatest variable in this world, especially—"

He leaned down, towering over me, his icy breath exhaling from those blood-red lips and brushing against my nose. In a hushed voice, he said: "Especially, certain women's hearts... must not be touched!"

My heart pounded, and I forced down my panic to ask, "......Are you talking about me"

“Are there anyone else Little Empress, don't be too weak... The more you weaken, the heavier the Emperor's karma will become. Even if he is doing this for the balance of yin and yang, if his heart is disturbed, he will have karma that cannot be broken... If he accumulates too much, next time it won't be as simple as going to the blood pool to plant lotus flowers~~”

I shrank my head back a little. I used to think he was terrifying when he smiled, now seeing him not smile feels… even more terrifying.

He was serious for no more than three seconds before he giggled again: “But this time, Little Empress, you’ve done well! ~ That prison demon was badly wounded by you, the barrier shattered, and Your Majesty saved a lot of mana, hehe…”

When the celestial clouds dissipated and the lake returned to tranquility, Jiang Qiyun landed on the small pier by the lake, lowering his head to look at his own hands.

Is he hurt

I ignored the stares of the people around me and rushed towards him.

The small dock of the artificial lake was merely a decoration, with a few planks laid out to form a facade. Just now, as the lake water churned violently, it had already begun to loosen.

I only saw the Lord Emperor standing as gracefully as a banished immortal, forgetting that I was just an ordinary person with poor coordination. I stepped off-balance and almost fell, luckily Jiang Qiyun reached out in time to grab my arm.

I was so scared, I thought I was going to fall into the water in front of him.

"What are you running from!" That familiar icy fury stung my skin.

I hugged him around the waist, like a little koala, in a tight bear hug.

"If you hold me, I won't run away." I said dejectedly.

He frowned, as if he still wanted to yell something, but ultimately held back and said nothing.

Perhaps my current posture looks odd, because to living people I am just a weirdo striking strange poses and speaking with my head tilted back.

But it's so gloomy here now, probably not many living people would see this

"Are you hurt" he said, hauling me back to shore by my arm.

"No, no, I'm well protected." My hand unconsciously rested on my lower abdomen.

Jiang Qiyun cast a glance, his eyes complex. He let out a barely audible sigh: "I suppose nothing will happen to you... But even with the powerful magic of a spiritual fetus, you can't defend against malicious spirits or the unpredictability of human hearts. Be careful."

"Mm." I nodded, and those words were more intoxicating than his "Listen."

He dragged me back, and I chattered away about how Xu Yaqi had been instructed by an "online friend" to use a mirror at a specific time to reflect the southeast, reversing the magic circle beneath her feet, etc.

"The monster who was previously wearing Mu Yunliang's skin, also knew Lili from the internet!" This is most likely something Mu Yunliang did.

Si Tu Lin himself was not directly involved in these matters, but Mu Yun Liang's mysterious and elusive movements made him hard to fathom. Both were enigmatic creatures of immense power.

"With a mind like yours, you'd be better off not worrying about things that are too complicated... Go home with your brother. I have things to attend to." He gently pushed me towards my brother.

Oh… Your Majesty governs the underworld and has countless affairs to attend to. I can't occupy too much of his time, or Bai Wuchang will warn me again.

As my brother dragged me away, I glanced back at him. The guy was really cold-hearted, telling me to leave and just leaving me like that, not even sparing me a second look.

Just a few steps, and I felt like I had crossed two worlds. Behind me was the oppressive cold, with specters and divine souls lurking. In front of me were police cars, ambulances, and a throng of people from the Lin family, bustling and noisy.

I walked behind Lin Yanhuan and took a look: "This injury needs to be handled by a professional. I'll get in touch with you later, you bear with it for half a night."

Lin Yanhuan chuckled softly: "Little Qiao, you got it wrong. It should be me who cares about you. Don't always save me, it hurts my pride too much."

Although he spoke with a smile, I felt that he wasn't joking.

"Fine, next time you get entangled with a temptress, I definitely won't help you." I waved at him and followed my brother away from the noisy crowd.

"Xiao Qiao," Lin Yanhuan suddenly stood up, smoothed his clothes, and with his naturally noble bearing, walked in front of me and said in a low voice: "...Thank you for not giving up on Xu Yaqi. If she really died here, the aftermath would be difficult to suppress. Thank you for your hard work."

I was completely dumbfounded. I didn't understand any of this political and business stuff at all. Lin Yanhuan had no intention of letting me understand, he just smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao, your name sounds really nice. It has a kind of magic to it. Saying it out loud is addictive."

What Name

Is this implying my dad is bad at naming things

Back in the car, my brother started it up and said, "Based on my years of experience as a protector of beauties, this guy definitely has a thing for you. Humph... next time he comes knocking, I'll chase him away! Jiang Qiyun I can't beat, and I certainly can't beat this mere mortal!"

I let out a few stifled chuckles: " ... Brother, I have a gun."

“…Damn it!”
