Although Yundu Villa is large, it is still Chi’s domain. Perhaps I might be able to assist you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this voice, Li Jiujiu’s teeth clenched, and an inexplicable chill climbed up her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned around and saw Chi Wenyan with arms crossed, casually leaning against an old, faded pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His languid demeanor was completely different from his usual appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, saying nothing and drawing her sword to capture Chi Wenyan for interrogation would practically guarantee results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet facing this mortal man without any cultivation, Li Jiujiu’s legs went weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She battled the puppet doll and released her Divine Sense, yet did not notice when Chi Wenyan appeared behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, Baili An’s words to her began hammering in her mind again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu knew that confronting him head-on now might lead to dangerous events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly thinking, she concealed her unusual emotions towards Chi Wenyan, instantly showing a look of urgency and gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her palm, revealing two emerald green beads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Manor Master, your Yundu Villa is indeed full of sinister occurrences. Last night, I had a dream, and your wife appeared in it, looking highly uncanny, seeming not like an ordinary mortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept hinting for me to find a black jar, a jar filled with malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I found this matter strange and was investigating around your manor, but unexpectedly encountered this servant, you can’t imagine…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan looked at her with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu exaggeratedly took a breath, vividly describing, pointing at the servant’s ‘body’:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy isn’t human! He’s a puppet, one composed of metal, stone, and wood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows who hid him in this manor, planning something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan widened his eyes, acting as if extraordinarily baffled: “Such a thing? Wuniang… Wuniang actually entrusted a dream to you last night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu looked solemn: “I previously found it odd; having a monstrosity in one’s belly, for mortals, removing it should be a good thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she stubbornly behaved extremely irrationally, seducing me at night to find a jar, what’s her intent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, delaying the removal of the evil fetus is really not permissible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan nodded, deeply agreeing: “Surely some unclean things in the manor confused my wife?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the ritual this noon, I must ask Immortal girl Li to stay a few more days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inspect thoroughly what other wicked things might be hidden within Yundu Villa!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu said: “Such is my duty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, as Li Jiujiu lifted her foot to leave, dizziness suddenly struck her head, and the surrounding scenery and Chi Wenyan’s smiling expression kept spinning before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world spun, and her vision blurred; Li Jiujiu realized that at some point, the ground was already before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell to the ground, yet felt no pain, evidently her body was severely paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of azure long boots embroidered with shifting clouds slowly walked to her front, and Li Jiujiu’s hair was suddenly pulled up, causing sharp pain on her scalp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazedly, she looked at Chi Wenyan’s face close to hers, seeing his bright smile, complementing the noon sunlight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really, it was laborious for Immortal girl Li to think of so many excuses to deal with me, but you see, Wuniang’s gaze seemed devoid of any doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d oblige you to rest for a while; soon you can reunite with Wuniang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu painfully shifted her gaze, noticing an untended yard, not realizing when it became full of blooming flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragrant aroma assaulted her senses, the wind gently stirring the petals, pink pollen floating like mist and gauze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan, this person, could actually let these mysterious flowers bloom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu tried moving her lips, her voice weak: “What… exactly did you do to Wuniang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nothing.” Chi Wenyan had a relaxed smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just let her eat some meat stew day and night, but… it wasn’t an ordinary stew, before you people came, Hui Wuniang was just an ordinary farm girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her home was flooded, I took her in, and Yundu Villa’s previous mistress was not her, but another woman surnamed Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was alike the current Wuniang, in poor health, Wuniang often cared for her, but ultimately, Miss Feng died in childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wuniang cried very sadly, she was a good woman, I didn’t want her to be sad, so I allowed her to be eternally with her Sister Feng in another way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu roughly understood, her stomach turned: “You mean… you mean that meat stew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan beamed: “Indeed, it was Sister Feng. Nothing to be so shocked about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of them went through this, they all have to bear children for me, and post childbirth, they die from sadness; such bodies, can’t just go to waste.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu was so nauseous that she nearly vomited: “What exactly do you intend to do?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan’s face lost its smile: “What do I intend? My intention is simple, just to live long, longer than you cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha, what do cultivators have, in the end, they all die within my manor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, considering my partial fondness for you, let me tell you a story then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Chi Family, has been wine merchants for generations, a large house and great enterprise, passing down for a hundred years, descendants needing to master wine discernment and appreciation; my father was likewise capable of ensuring Chi’s wine business would be celebrated forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until my generation, born singularly, I was his only child, meant to rightful inherit the family business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ill-fated, given a sickly body, constantly needing the nourishment of medicine jars, unable to touch wine. He found me disappointing, adopted a child from outside, and entrusted everything to him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Wenyan speaking here, his complexion subtly twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>",1338,"2026-06-06T15:17:03.978Z",1,"novelbin.me","34ded57096666c10989ec1b5de75b2bd4e5c70e0eda82ecbf2c265320d28295d","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1448","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1446",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
