Qiuqiu suggested that the engagement ceremony of her mother and Chen Taifu, her elder brother's ceremony, and Xiangliu's wedding ceremony be held together.
Grand Tutor Chen exclaimed that it was brilliant, and then eagerly sought Xu Ruyun's opinion.
Xu Ruyun listened to Qiuqiu's words of advice and came to a realization.
She was so obsessed with love that she almost hanged herself on one tree.
But now, facing the person she loves, the person who loves her deeply, she can no longer miss this opportunity.
So she nodded.
Grand Tutor Chen happily picked up Xu Ruyun and spun her around.
Xu Ruyun gently patted Chen Taifu's hand and said, "Put me down quickly! The child is watching!"
Chiu Chiu raised her arms and said, "Chiu Chiu wants a hug too! Chiu Chiu wants to spin around too!"
Grand Tutor Chen put Xu Ruyun down, turned around, picked up Qiuqiu, lifted her up, and spun her around.
The chirping laughter was crisp and melodious, echoing in the room.
Xiang Liu's wedding is about to take place.
Envoys from various countries have also arrived in the Dragon Kingdom.
The Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom was very pleased when he heard from Qiuqiu that three happy events were to be held at the same time.
He also specially bestowed many jewels and ornaments upon Xu Ruyun and Qi Junlin.
Xiangliu's wedding is about to be held at the palace.
Upon hearing the news that Xu Ruyun was getting engaged to Chen Taifu, Qi Jiating was so angry he almost fainted.
He spent his days drowning his sorrows in taverns, drinking until he was completely drunk before returning home.
That night, in the middle of the night, he was still carrying a wine bottle, stumbling along the road.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by.
Qi Jia groggily raised his head and asked, "Who, who's there?"
He looked around to make sure no one was there, then muttered, "My eyes are playing tricks on me, oh dear, my eyes are blurry!"
Suddenly, Jinlan appeared before him and said, "Your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. It's me, Father!"
Qi Jiating was furious when he saw Jinlan.
He angrily yelled at her, "I'm not your father! My daughter is Qiuqiu, not you! Get out of here!"
Jinlan gently poked Qi Jiating with her finger, and Qi Jiating swayed and fell to the ground.
Jinlan laughed heartily: "Dad, are you having a hard time? Xu Ruyun is getting engaged, do you want me to help you?"
Qi Jiating: "No! I don't want to see you! Go away! Go away now!"
Jinlan squatted down and blew a breath towards Qi Jiating.
Qi Jiating slowly became dazed, staring blankly at Jinlan.
Jinlan asked him, "Xu Ruyun is about to marry Grand Tutor Chen. Don't you hate it?"
Qi Jia nodded woodenly and said, "I hate it!"
Jinlan continued, "If you don't want Xu Ruyun to marry Chen Taifu, then release all your resentment and hatred, and I will help you."
Qi Jia stood up, gritted his teeth, and shouted, "Ah!"
Clumps of black energy emerged from Qi Jiating's body.
Jinlan opened her arms and took a deep breath of the black gas.
The black energy was gradually absorbed into Jinlan's body.
After finishing inhaling the drug, Jinlan ran away as fast as she could.
Qi Jiating seemed to have exhausted too much physical strength and energy, and collapsed weakly.
Jinlan ran to the casino entrance again.
At the entrance, there were gamblers who had lost their bets and were crying their hearts out.
The gambler was also emanating a dark aura.
Jinlan stretched her neck, greedily inhaling the black aura emanating from the gambler.
There was a lot of black energy wrapped around Jinlan.
Jinlan absorbed the black energy and walked home contentedly.
At this moment, two cunning women looked at Jinlan and said, "Such a young child wandering the streets in the middle of the night, I'm afraid no one will want him. How about we kidnap him and sell him to a brothel?"
"That's a great idea! She's just a little kid and doesn't have much strength. Let's carry her together!"
"Great! Two people carrying a baby is no problem at all!"
The two acted immediately. They ran up to Jinlan, one grabbed her head, and the other lifted her leg and hugged her as they walked away!
Jinlan sneered, "How presumptuous of you! It's just as well that your greed is being used by me, so it's not a waste."
The two women carried Jinlan happily toward the Yihong Courtyard.
Jinlan opened her mouth and forcefully sucked in the greed emanating from them.
The two women suddenly felt weak all over, their limbs limp.
They accidentally knelt on the ground. One woman, holding her head, said, "Why do I feel dizzy?"
Another woman said, "I also feel weak all over, and I'm afraid I won't be able to lift the child."
"How about we call some people over? Look, there are two men over there. Let's call them over and split the money."
"Great idea! I'll go call them right now!"
Jinlan: "You foolish humans, you are so greedy! I'll deal with you right now! This is the perfect greed physique to help me cultivate! Hahaha!"
Jinlan looked at the two women with cold eyes.
A woman said, "Don't you feel that this child is a little different?"
"What's the difference? He's just a child! I'll go get someone right now!"
The woman opened her mouth, as if to shout.
Jinlan suddenly grabbed them by the neck and flew away like the wind to a deserted place.
The two women were pale and struggling to breathe, trying to speak but unable to utter a single word.
Jinlan threw the two women heavily to the ground.
The two women crawled, trying to escape.
Jinlan grabbed the women, choked them, and sucked their blood from their bodies.
The two greedy women were slowly drained of their energy, leaving only empty shells, and turned into two skeletons.
Jinlan wiped the blood from her mouth, kicked the skeleton, and said, "This is what they call reaping what you sow, and you can't live without it!"
After drinking the blood, Jinlan's strength increased greatly. With a powerful leap, she jumped onto the roof.
Jinlan walked quickly on the roof and soon arrived home.
She lay in bed fast asleep, as if nothing had happened.
Who would have thought that a child that age could do such a horrific thing?
The next day, soldiers on patrol discovered two unidentified skeletons.
The case was quickly reported to the Dali Temple.
Qi Junxian, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, came to investigate the case.
He analyzed the case and, based on information such as the deceased's clothing, whereabouts, and skeletal remains, determined that the two women were from the brothel, Yihongyuan.
These two women are usually idle and lazy, often engaging in fraud, deception, and theft.
Even now, death is a consequence of evil deeds.
But after all, there were two lives at stake. Who committed this massacre?
It doesn't look like something a human would do.
Is this yet another act of the devil?
The demon hasn't appeared for a long time.
With Xiang Liu's wedding imminent and the capital bustling with activity, it's crucial to avoid any trouble.
Qi Junxian told his third brother, Qi Junzhou, to increase patrols.
Qi Junzhou asked, "Should we report this matter to His Majesty?"
Qi Junxian thought for a moment and said, "His Majesty is extremely busy with state affairs. He is currently receiving ambassadors from various countries. Let's not spoil His Majesty's mood."
Qi Junzhou said, "Alright! Then we need to be careful from now on!"
Qi Junxian nodded.
