God's Gift

"All of these are fine." Ning Jin interrupted Fang Ling, propped up his cheek with one hand, and asked calmly:

"Then why did you throw a snake in later?"

"That's a tooth that was pulled out!" This question became serious. Fang Ling was afraid that Ning Jin would misunderstand that she was going to murder her, so she explained in a hurry:

"My father later found out that I had thrown crickets and chickens into the general's mansion and scolded me. He told me that women don't like these things. I knew I had made a big mistake, so I thought about making amends."

Fang Ling herself found it difficult to talk about what happened next.

"So I caught a snake, pulled out its teeth and threw it into the yard, hoping that it would eat the chicken and the bugs..."

Ning Jin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't you think snakes are more terrifying than a chicken and some crickets?"

"I know." Fang Ling's voice weakened, and he muttered, "So later I sent people to the mansion to catch the snake."

Ning Jin followed suit and said, "Who knew those people were caught as thieves by the general's mansion."

"That's right." Fang Ling nodded dejectedly. He never expected that the pit he dug when he was young would trip him up now.

Seeing Fang Ling so dejected, Ning Jin smiled more sincerely, "Okay, this matter is over."

"If I don't agree to the marriage, my brother won't agree to it either."

When Fang Ling heard Ning Jin's words, her eyes immediately lit up, and she was overjoyed. She wanted to talk to Ning Jin, but she heard Ning Jin say with a smile:

"Marriage is complicated and tedious. Do you need to hurry up?"

"Yes, yes." After being reminded by Ning Jin, Fang Ling immediately remembered that there were still many things to do for the wedding. With happiness overflowing in her eyes, she waved at Ning Jin and shouted happily:

"I'm going to find the best embroiderer in the city to make the most gorgeous wedding dress in the world for Ajin!"

After saying that, he picked up his robe and ran out in a hurry.

After Fang Ling ran out of the courtyard, the white cat that had been lying lazily on the eaves jumped down along the wall to the ground, circled around Ning Jin's skirt, and then transformed into a human.

Ah Li looked at Fang Ling who was walking away and said angrily, "I was wondering why there were so many crickets in the yard for no reason in those years. It made me unable to sleep well!"

Ning Jin looked at the angry A Li and said teasingly, "Are the chicken and snake meat delicious?"

Ah Li savored the taste and replied, "It's still quite delicious."

Ning Jin smiled, "That's right."

Ali snorted lightly, and then he started talking to Ning Jin about business, "Ajin, I have asked around in the city about the people who have died strangely in recent days, and among them, fifty-eight people correspond exactly to the five elements and twelve hours."

"So it seems that the two souls that Luo Chen has not yet taken are the one born at the hour of Mao, belonging to the wood element, and the one born at the hour of Chen, belonging to the gold element."

"Luo Chen might be afraid of Minghua, so he didn't continue to take the soul. Fu Jing saw that he didn't move, and seemed a little anxious."

Ali's brows relaxed, and he continued, "But it's only two souls short. Even without Luo Chen's help, I can still do it."

Ning Jin sat back on the rattan chair and praised A Li, "Well done, A Li."

Ali straightened his back proudly, turned into a white cat again, jumped onto Ning Jin's lap, and continued:

"The Taoist priests from Mount Mao should arrive in Gusu the day after tomorrow. I need to try my best to obtain the remaining two souls before then, and take the remaining fifty-eight souls from Fu Jing."

Ning Jin stroked Ah Li's soft white fur, and said methodically, "The mirror brushing technique is not weak, you need to be careful."

Ah Li stretched lazily in Ning Jin's arms and licked his paws. "No matter how strong he is, he has only practiced Taoism for more than 40 years. I am not afraid."

Ning Jin heard A Li's proud words and said with a hint of meaning: "Ming Hua's cultivation is even less advanced, are you afraid of him?"

"He is a special case." When Ali heard Minghua's name, he paused licking his fur and said, "Not every cultivator is like him."

"Yeah." Ning Jin stroked Ali's hair with a smile, his voice slowed down, and he sighed softly: "If he knew that you killed someone for me, he would definitely not let you go easily."

Ali remained silent for a long time before he said, "That's nothing."

Ning Jin was still stroking Ali, his eyes fixed on her white hair, and his movements became much gentler.

"Ajin, I heard that Taoist priests can save the souls of the dead who are stranded in the human world. If...if the Baixu Formation is transformed into the Yin-Yang Reverse Formation, all the ghosts in the ghost realm will come out, which will surely cause a disaster for Gusu."

"If Ling Minghua's uncle and master can help the ghosts in the ghost realm to be reborn, then the ghosts will be able to reincarnate, and Gusu will not be harmed by the ghosts."

"This won't hinder Ajin's resurrection, it kills three birds with one stone." A Li looked up at Ning Jin who was holding her and asked, "Ajin, is this feasible?"

Although it is not easy to exorcise the hundreds of ghosts in the never-sleeping ghost realm, there is at least a glimmer of hope.

Ning Jin looked at A-li's gem-like blue eyes, sighed softly, and said, "Okay."

Seeing Ning Jin agreed, Ah Li wagged his tail happily, jumped off her legs, ran forward a few steps, then remembered one more thing and asked:

"The Yang fish is already in the formation, but the Yin fish is still nowhere to be found. I have been thinking about it for a long time but still don't know what the Yin fish is. Ajin, do you have any clues?"

Ning Jin's gaze froze for a second, then he regained his composure and slowly responded:

"The Yin Fish is a pure Yin body, it could be a person or an object. If it is a person, it may encounter ghosts and see dark things. If it is an object, it will be cold and Yin forever."

Upon hearing about the ghost, Ali was stunned for a second and suddenly looked at Ning Jin.

For all this time, the only person she had seen encounter a ghost was Yu Youyou, who still lived in the General's Mansion.

So two years ago, Ning Yue asked Yu Youyou to travel thousands of miles to Gusu just for this matter.

But Ning Yue now deliberately let Minghua discover the Yin-Yang Reversal Formation to prevent Ning Jin from resurrecting. Sometimes he helps A Jin, and sometimes he secretly obstructs him. What exactly does Ning Yue want to do?

-

In Huachun Boat, Yu Youyou had left for a while, leaving Lu Keming alone sitting on the chaise longue.

Lu Keming closed his loose collar and tied up his long black hair, then slowly raised his hand to touch his upper lips.

Gradually, the gentle caress could no longer satisfy the empty desire in his heart, and he pressed his fingers harder, ravaging her lips, his breathing becoming more rapid and heavier.

After a long while, he gasped heavily, propped himself up on the couch with one hand, and looked at the ground with his eyes downcast. His eyes were as bright as water, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and two words flowed out from his red lips.

"Youyou..."

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Lu Keming's eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked towards the door.

There were two knocks on the door. Lu Keming laughed sarcastically and said slowly, "Come in."
