In an instant, his brows furrowed again, and he muttered a complaint: "It's been more than three months now, why is there still no movement from the other dimension?"
Having said that, he tapped the tiles beside him impatiently with his long, slender fingers, one tap after another, the rhythm disordered, just like his current state of mind.
For the past three months, Ma Lihua has been living a comfortable life in the confined space, eating and drinking well, and spending all her energy criticizing Shangguan Wenyan.
She raised an eyebrow and unleashed a barrage of sharp words: "Look at you, doing nothing all day! I get annoyed just looking at you."
Shangguan Wenyan remained silent, but could only suppress his anger, as he couldn't bear to scold or beat Lihua in the slightest.
Meanwhile, the outside world had already undergone tremendous changes. The devastating news of Li Zhongguo's death caused a huge uproar, and his body was also stolen and its whereabouts were unknown. All of these events were completely unrelated to Ma Lihua.
Confined to this small world, oblivious to the changes in the world, she was still preoccupied with the child in her womb, unaware that the undercurrents of fate were already surging towards her.
Shangguan Wenyan snorted coldly, looked at the sky, crossed his arms, and continued to lie in wait patiently in the shadows, waiting for the right moment when the nine stars aligned.

The dim light flickered in the room. Li Hehua's face was full of panic, her eyes were red, and her lips trembled violently. She stammered out a few words: "Mother, I...I...my father..." She swayed as if she were about to collapse. When her eyes met her mother Ma Linghua's gloomy face, she instantly fell silent, not daring to breathe, and nervously clutched the hem of her clothes.
Ma Linghua frowned, her face showing both exhaustion and determination. She raised her hand to interrupt her and said in a deep voice, "Alright, I know where your father's body is."
Where did you go?
Li Hehua raised her voice and pressed on, her tone filled with anxiety and anger.
“A sinkhole.” Ma Linghua said it with absolute certainty, the two words like heavy hammer blows, making the atmosphere in the room even more tense.
"What? A sinkhole? Who the hell is so despicable as to steal a corpse?"
Li Hehua instantly flew into a rage, her face turning bright red, flames seemingly leaping from her head, and the horns hidden in her hair almost popping out in anger, her hands flailing wildly in the air.
Ma Linghua strode forward, grabbed her shoulder, and said with a sharp, eagle-like gaze: "Keep a close eye on Fa Gui, understand?"
"Ah! Why?" Li Hehua's eyes widened, her face full of confusion.
Ma Linghua lowered her voice and explained worriedly, "Because he was born in the same year as your father, according to the Gregorian calendar. I don't know what those lunatics are planning, but the next one could very well be Fa Gui."
Upon hearing this, Li Fagui, who was standing to the side, suddenly trembled and turned pale.
He inwardly groaned, muttering to himself: What? I'm next?
Tears welled up in his eyes as he thought to himself that he hadn't lived enough yet. He was afraid of even minor injuries and pains, so what would he do if something unexpected happened to him?
