poke.H u g .His icy chest pressed against my back, his chin grazing my temple.He clasped my wrist, pulling me completely into his embrace."Heartfelt devotion and surrender. The Supreme Jade Pure King...Jiang Qiyun remained still, he held my hand tightly without letting go.

“Aren’t you coming” I asked in a low voice.

Jiang Qiyun shook his head and said faintly, "Just keep watching him. You don't need me to make a move."

Everyone very consciously rushed up, while also complaining, "Looking at your lovey-dovey appearance, I'm embarrassed for you! You're so hesitant!"

He rushed straight up, grabbed Zhao Boss's head and slammed him to the ground. The sound of his head hitting the floor was a heavy "thunk"!

Boss Zhao had no natal gu and was practically powerless to fight back, and he looked very weak.

Just kick him aside, he lay on the ground gasping for breath like a broken sack.

"Whew...whew..."

My brother called out to Ji Dou in a low voice, "This guy is a bit off. He might be cannon fodder, so don't get too close! Our target is the queen bee, kill the queen bee and don't bother Xiao Qiao again! It's best to stay away from these people who raise insects!"

Everyone nodded, looking at the woman who was about to be dragged out of safety.

Aliang ran over and hugged the woman's legs, while Ji raised his sword and slashed towards the back of her neck!

The sword light glided past, leaving a few strands of hair falling, yet it didn't strike anything at all.

Everyone looked at Liang in confusion: "There's nothing in there!"

"No, impossible! It has to be in there! Look inside your hair!" Ah Liang pulled the woman down with all his might.

Jiang Qiyun stopped me at the entrance to the rooftop, preventing me from entering. He stared coldly at the tense scene outside, his fingers secretly pinching a spell within his sleeve as he remained on guard.

I vaguely heard a strange sound, so faint it was like a pin dropping.

At first, there was just a rustling sound, but it quickly became dense.

This feeling was a bit frightening, and I couldn't help but glance back.

The eighteenth floor was uninhabited and devoid of lights. Only when the rooftop door opened did some light penetrate.

I vaguely saw a person standing quietly at the entrance of the safety stairs - that's where we came up from.

Like a ghost.

I clutched Jiang Qiyun's sleeve in my hand, and at the sight of this sudden appearance of a "person," I immediately scrambled up his arm in fright.

"Qi Yun, someone is behind us!" As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Qi Yun turned around and switched places with me.

His longsword shimmered in his hand, illuminating the area around us. To our astonishment, a swarm of insects, as dense as gauze, had encircled us!

Jiang Qiyun raised her sleeve, and a silver chain flew toward the man. The man's figure seemed to dissipate like smoke as he fled out the back door.

I remember a woman in red once visited Boss Zhao and threatened him. Based on this, they should likely belong to the same organization.

People who practice witchcraft are not very common, they're probably from one of the villages.

Jiang Qiyun glanced at me, and I hurriedly said, "I'll just stand here, you go and have a look."

He immediately drew back and chased after him. I retreated to the rooftop, leaning against the wall, warily watching the scene outside.

My brother helped Ah Liang fix that woman's body, but every time he stabbed into the black mist, nothing hit. He angrily said, "What kind of ghost thing doesn't even exist!"

My brother roared, "Don't get so angry! Aim properly, if you kill someone, you'll be locked up!"

I wanted to go and help, but suddenly Zhao the boss popped his eyes out and charged at me from the side.

Dare you treat me like a pushover

I quickly took out my Purple Cloud Staff from my bag. Boss Zhao is a human, so naturally, I couldn't use the formidable Five Thunderbolts of Yingyuan Mansion against him. Using a sword would also be too likely to harm his life.

But, that is!

I can use it to smash things.

The Jade Ruyi was so large and heavy! It hurt to knock someone with it. He was now weak and very clumsy, and he had also been beaten by the guards. Blood trickled from his corner of his mouth.

When he charged at me, I dodged to the side, striking him on the head with the jade Ruyi in my hand.

Mr. Zhao cried out in pain, and I immediately ran to my brother's side.

My brother turned to look at me, not knowing which way to go. "Go to hell! What the hell are these bugs eating that they're so strong!" My brother roared angrily.

Aling whispered, "They... they eat their own kind... some even eat human flesh!"

My brother had a flash of inspiration and suddenly reached for his belt, quickly winding it around the woman's ankle before fastening it to the nearby pipe.

This woman is suspended at an odd angle in midair.

"Damn it, my shoulder is about to be dislocated... Jiu De, hurry up, shave this woman's hair off! Find it!" My brother urged.

I stood beside my older brother, watching Boss Zhao get up only to collapse again from exhaustion. Concerned, I asked, "Brother, did I hit him too hard What if something happens..."

"You don't even have enough strength to bounce cotton, and you're worried about hitting too hard Don't joke around!" he said wiping his sweat.

No way... This Gu Mother's power is so great

He'd nearly shaved that woman's head bald. Suddenly, the woman shuddered all over and slumped limply to the ground from mid-air, hitting her head heavily.

What's going on...

We peered closer, and in the tuft of hair just cut by the clippers, we saw a black, glistening thing wriggling.

"Damn it! It's right here! Stuck to the scalp, moving with the hair, so we thought it was at the back of the neck all along!" Aliang angrily pulled out a bamboo tube and a magic charm.

"Be careful not to get bitten!" My brother pulled me back two steps, a little afraid.

Aling parted the scattered hair in surprise, letting out a "Hey" He stood there blankly for a few seconds before looking up at us and saying: "This... this is only the bottom half! Where's the top half!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the whole building went dark!

A fluorescent light exploded in the stairwell, and suddenly the whole building felt cold and oppressive!

Jiang qiyun

My first reaction was that he was casting a spell.

"What's going on, Your Majesty summoned the Yin marshal" Ji Du spoke up.

We went back to the 18th floor and took a look. It was pitch black inside, with even the emergency lights in the safety corridors blown out.

However, no one cried out in alarm. The whole building seemed to fall into a deathly silence all at once.

My brother leaned out from the 18th floor to look down. Suddenly, a white, pointy hat shot up and startled him.

Bai Wuchang smiled and floated up from below: "Little Empress, are you alright"

"...You scared me." I muttered softly.

"Oh my, Your Majesty, I saw something incredible downstairs, so I summoned everyone to temporarily isolate the entire building."

"Wasn't he chasing a suspicious person What did you see down there" I asked.

Bai WuChang raised an eyebrow: “...Insect Nest.”
