"Oh, okay, I see. So Su Zhou's matter will last a long time?"

"It won't be long. The formation has already been activated tonight, and things are already in chaos there."

Qin Nan was surprised to hear this. She reached for her phone on the bedside table, opened a webpage, and without even searching, the screen was filled with news articles, all from Suzhou City.

Qin Nan saw the post and clicked on it to view the details and comments.

For some unknown reason, various unexpected events occurred simultaneously in Suzhou City. On the night of Qingming Festival, Suzhou City seemed to have had the gates of hell opened, with people dying one after another and the air filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Bai Hao handed his phone to Qin Nan. Qin Nan looked at the screen on Bai Hao's phone, which was the forum page of the Ghostly Affairs Association. It showed various groups of people gathering and doing their best to rush to Su Zhou for rescue.

Bai Hao reached out and pulled Qin Nan and Bai Moxuan into his arms. "Don't worry, there are different ways to live in the world. Humans are indeed fragile, but they are also strong."

"Yes, that's right. When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides. There are always people who uphold justice and protect all living beings."

"Yes, so stop thinking about it. Let go of things you can't participate in and get some rest."

"I can't sleep. I'm not an ordinary person now. Not sleeping for a night won't affect anything."

"Too."

"Then you can't help but think about Su Zhou's calamity, can you?"

"Hmm... a little."

"Then let's talk about something else."

"What's up?"

"The story of Bai Muqiu turning herself into a pig."

"Huh? A pig?"

"Yeah, I didn't insult him, it's true, the pink pig!"

"Dad, I know that Uncle Qiu is cute even when he turns into a pig! Grandpa Long didn't mind at all; he held him and raised him for a long time!"

"Uh, why? How did Muqiu turn into a pig?"

"Stupid."

Bai Hao snapped his fingers, and the scenery before his eyes changed.

Inside the antique-style shop, at the tea table for guests, Long Chengxiu sat calmly and composed, his imposing aura completely ruined by the whimpering pink chubby pig lying on his lap.

Long Chengxiu stroked Bai Muqiu, who had turned into a pink chubby pig, without any disgust. Bai Muqiu lay on Long Chengxiu's lap, whimpering and crying with a look of utter despair.

He did this only to make Long Chengxiu stop bothering him and get tired of him, but unexpectedly, he was hit by a spell and temporarily lost all his magic power, turning into an ordinary little fat pig.

If Long Chengxiu hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have ended up in the pig farm.

"Wow, what an adorable little pig! Is this late autumn?"

Qin Nan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Bai Muqiu, who was pink and whimpering. Although she asked the question, the answer was definitely yes. If it weren't for Bai Muqiu, a pig would never have been able to lie alive on Long Chengxiu, not even if it were dead!

Seeing that Qin Nan was in a better mood, Bai Hao put away the illusion and chatted with Qin Nan about tomorrow's meals and the baby.

On the other side, in the guest room of the Qin residence.

Bai Muqiu lay on the bed, recalling the past after many years.

He never encountered Xu Mao again, but he didn't use his divine power to search for him. He wanted to let fate decide, and if they were destined to meet again, they would.

Like a fish weir.

However, Bai Muqiu never encountered Xu Mao's reincarnation again.

As time went by, he didn't think about it often anymore; even distant memories can become blurred.

After Long Chengxiu took Chi Wei as his disciple, he took him under his wing and taught him. Bai Muqiu often played and joked with Long Chengxiu, causing quite a bit of trouble.

Chi Wei greatly admires his master, Long Chengxiu, but he feels helpless when it comes to Bai Muqiu, who often acts foolishly. He has sighed easily when facing Bai Muqiu since he was a child.

Later, Chi Wei got into a fight and offended Bai Hao, who beat him up. At first, Chi Wei was unwilling to accept it, but after Bai Hao beat him up a few more times, he submitted and started calling Bai Hao "boss".

Originally, Chi Wei was always protected by Long Chengxiu when he got into fights and caused trouble, which led to Chi Wei showing signs of becoming a troublemaker.

That is, when he had this potential, he encountered Bai Hao, who nipped it in the bud.

But Chi Wei didn't behave for long; after all, he was still a child at heart and got into a fight with other beasts again.

Seeing this, Chi Wei's parents felt that this would not do and that Chi Wei needed to change his temperament to prevent him from making a serious mistake in the future. So they went to Long Chengxiu's house, hoping that he would make Chi Wei suffer a little and change his temperament.

Long Chengxiu knew that Chi Wei had been beaten up by Bai Hao, so he handed Chi Wei over to Bai Hao.

When Bai Hao brought Chi Wei to the human world, they met Qin Nan. What was originally a period of suffering turned into a period of happiness, but the goal was achieved.

Bai Muqiu lay on the bed for a long time, while Long Chengxiu sat quietly beside her without disturbing her.

Long Chengxiu knew little about Bai Muqiu's century-long involvement in the world and his entanglements with Xu Mao and Yu Liang. He hadn't asked anyone, and since Bai Muqiu didn't say, he didn't know.

But when Bai Muqiu met Yu Liang, who had been reincarnated, in modern times, he told her some of the stories and also mentioned Xu Mao.

"What's wrong? Did you have an unpleasant conversation with Qin Nan?"

"No... it's just that I suddenly remembered something from a long time ago, and I felt a little melancholy."

"The matter of Xu Mao and Yu Liang?"

"Hmm...yes."

Long Chengxiu got up, moved to the edge of the bed, and rubbed Bai Muqiu's head.

"What is there to worry about?"

"Entering the world is easy, leaving it is difficult; I have fallen into this trap."

"You still haven't let go?"

"That's not quite right. It's just that too much time has passed. If I didn't use my innate divine power, I would have forgotten Xu Mao's voice and appearance. If I hadn't met Yu Liang's reincarnation, I wouldn't have remembered her either."

"There's no need to worry."

Long Chengxiu flipped Bai Muqiu over.

Bai Muqiu let him do as he pleased without any effort, showing no energy whatsoever.

"I'm still in a bad mood."

"It's hard to feel good. Tonight, Su Zhou is like hell descending upon the earth. More than a thousand people have already died, and the ghost messengers and ghost soldiers will soon be melted down by the formation. With so many innocent people dying in vain, it's hard to be in a good mood."

"Hmm, Muqiu, are you upset with me for not letting you get involved in this?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Muqiu looked up at Long Chengxiu and said, "It's not my fault. In the past, Bai Hao would beat and tie me up when he kept me. I know you were doing it for my own good."

Long Chengxiu nodded, "You are too easily influenced by others, which will cause you to get hurt."

"That's what they all say. Ah Jue told me not to get too caught up in the role, Hao Ge told me to remember that I'm not human, Yin Jie also gave me a warning, and Wei Wei even wanted to send me Qingling Fruit to eat."

Even that kid Bai Ziyan sees things more clearly than I do, and he's more opinionated than I am.

"That may be true, but your personality isn't necessarily a bad thing. Besides, with me here, I certainly won't let you suffer any losses."

Long Chengxiu patted Bai Muqiu's head, leaned closer to him, gently kissed his brow, and then raised his hand to smooth out his furrowed brow.

"Why must you live like everyone else? You are you, there is no need to worry or be troubled by such things. If you are indecisive, I will make the decision for you."

After speaking, he pinched Bai Muqiu's chin and gave her a deep, lingering kiss.

Bai Muqiu's eyes welled up with tears. She raised her hand to push Long Chengxiu away, but she was too weak. Soon she was struggling and moaning under Long Chengxiu.
