143. The Thought Demon in the Ghost Grave (8K, 1/1)

The woman sitting on the bed’s edge glared at Zhou Chang, still scolding him for bursting into her private home.

Zhou Chang glanced at the woman seated on the bed’s edge, then shifted his gaze away, continuing to examine the furnishings of the room.

He saw a spirit tablet on the wooden table; removing the black cloth covering it revealed the inscribed characters: Spirit Tablet of the Deceased Husband…

The name on the spirit tablet was blurred and indistinct.

Each stroke was gradually becoming clearer.

Wu Wei got out of the car at the entrance, gesturing for Fu Kai and the others not to follow; everything needed had already been prepared and was inside his backpack.

As for the Lin family, the Emperor had deliberately arranged their relocation to Yangzhou, distancing them from the Four Great Families. Now Prince Wang Teng commanded heavy troops and was responsible for the imperial capital’s security, posing a great threat to the Emperor. Yet the retired Emperor protected them, leaving the current Emperor powerless to weaken the Wang family’s power.

Now, if I respond even slightly wrong, they will easily slash my throat.

Shan Ruoyan never expected Ma Jun would still act recklessly despite her clear stance; caught off guard, she saw the teacup flying toward her and tried to dodge—but it was too late. The cup struck her temple hard, and tears immediately spilled from the pain.

This isn’t grace—it’s another form of superiority. An elephant doesn’t care about an ant’s curses.

With Professor Yang’s help, she had already taken leave from all her instructors, giving her ample time and space to reorganize everything.

The church, still incomplete in its occult ritual setup, began fulfilling its function—used by clergy, open for believers to pray.

“Prince Mu, which topic do you think we should discuss next?” Zhao Yong began asking Zhao Bi’s opinion, mainly because Zhao Bi had brought up so many items that even Zhao Yong hadn’t finished reviewing them all yet.

He found these two characters suddenly appearing in his mind very strange, so he kept expanding them into other related phrases.

“I want to learn more about your Tarot Society. Don’t keep asking me questions— Zhishaoyaonayabolahandeziliaolaijiaohuan 。” Phoenix displayed a commanding aura, cutting off Kei’s words.

“Did you eat gunpowder last night?” After adjusting his mindset, Lin Kai became much more casual with Zhou Lei, always looking for chances to provoke him, just to see his childish outbursts.

On this freezing day, warm tea was served first, followed by a broad path paved with blue bricks, with two neat rows of tables on either side, and benches behind them for the proprietor to rest.

Lady Yixuan spoke seriously; it was clear this time, she truly intended to send a matchmaker to propose marriage.

“The Bai family had no good intentions this time,” Gao Linhua gritted her teeth, then organized her words to recount what had happened at the Bai residence.

Elder Tie Gang was searching for Wu Fei and Wu Xing’er; General Si Ye said, “Hey, Qingxiao Sect, you take care of the rest!” With a wave of his hand, the wooden boat soared into the air.

Xu Tianjiao had always treated the Ninth Princess like his own younger sister, and treated her quite well.

Shili Pu was filled with joy; in one household, red lanterns hung everywhere inside and outside the courtyard, and cut-out red paper characters for “double happiness” covered the yard and rooms.

Those with inferior equipment or low health were instantly reduced to light particles by the Minotaur’s charge, returning to wait for resurrection.

Then, after Bai Ye carefully listed the main characters he remembered well, he realized his knowledge of the plot was useless—he couldn’t lure away a single one of those destined to become extraordinary.

Liang Chen felt Ming Shu’s hands beginning to unfasten his pants; anger and humiliation surged in his chest, his face turning crimson.

Her gaze slowly swept through darkness until a vast glow of luminous energy appeared in her vision… this was the place with the strongest spiritual power in the Xitian Sect.
