Don't mess with that Miao boy, he's sickly and perverted.

Song Yueyao and Jiang Zhiyu had changed their clothes and were preparing to go on stage.

The script assigned them supporting roles: yamen runners.

After the couple fought tooth and nail against the villain for a long time and went through many hardships, they finally defeated him.

Finally, the bailiffs arrived late.

All you have to do is take the human traffickers away and that's it.

He is exactly the kind of character who "seems useless, but has to appear."

Halfway there, the two bumped into Yan Xingxiao, who was hurriedly turning back.

"Head镖师 Yan, why are you back again?!"

This time, anger was clearly visible in Song Yueyao's clear eyes.

Her imposing figure was accentuated by her yamen runner uniform, and her brows radiated a fierce and heroic aura. Even Yan Xingxiao was intimidated by her presence and subconsciously raised his hand to protect his head.

"I don't know either!" He hurriedly pulled out the talisman from his pocket. "It was a guiding talisman given to me by Young Master Jiang, but it suddenly went out halfway through the journey!"

Jiang Zhiyu took the talisman, his fingertips brushing across its surface, his expression suddenly hardening:

"Oh no! It seems someone has set up a barrier in this mountain forest."

At the same time.

Deep in the forest, Chai Xiaomi is passionately performing her seventh act.

A distraught expression, reminiscent of Ke Yun: "My child...where is my child?"

Her hands trembled as she touched the empty embrace, then she suddenly cupped her face in her hands, her eyes red-rimmed, her voice filled with broken bewilderment.

Wu Li leaned against the tree trunk, silently watching her perform.

The more speechless their expression, the more speechless they become.

Chai Xiaomi couldn't stand it anymore. He was the child's father, after all, he should be a little anxious, right? Why wasn't he involved at all?

What's more, he still has a line he hasn't said yet!

She rushed in front of him, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and shook him excitedly: "Husband...where is our child? Husband!"

The silver ornaments and earrings in his hair jingled as he shook them. Under his deep, cold, warning gaze, Chai Xiaomi sheepishly stopped, winking and reminding him of his lines.

The place where the ghost baby was buried is not far away, and it may be able to detect even the slightest sound.

A play must always be performed in its entirety.

Wu Li tugged at the corners of his lips, extended a finger, and slowly lifted her chin:

"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely find her."

His voice lowered, and the dark hair falling from his forehead made his face appear even paler, the wind brushing against the corners of his upturned eyes.

A flicker of obsessive darkness flashed deep within her heterochromatic eyes, locking onto them tightly:

"If it's someone I'm looking for, even if they become a ghost, I'll chase them all the way to hell."

As he finished speaking, he gave her a pure yet enchanting smile.

Her voice was clear and gentle, yet inexplicably chilling.

Chai Xiaomi was taken aback.

Why did he add words himself?

The second half of the sentence was clearly not written in the script.

But to be fair, the addition was truly ingenious.

He brought to life an unwavering, lifelong obsession.

Good for you, Li Li. It's a pity she wasn't born in the same era, otherwise with her looks and acting skills, she would have been a top star in no time.

"You acted well, give me a chicken leg." Chai Xiaomi praised him using lip reading.

After this scene was over, she turned and walked toward the pre-arranged burial site for the infant.

As I recall, it was on a high slope not far ahead.

They had come beforehand to mark the spot, where there was a strangely shaped, protruding giant rock.

But Chai Xiaomi wandered around for a while without finding the stone.

The scenery around me seemed to have remained unchanged.

Chai Xiaomi gradually felt a chill run down her spine, and three words floated faintly in her mind.

Could it be... a ghost wall?

She picked up a dead branch and drew a circle on the trunk of a ginkgo tree she passed as a mark.

After that, whenever he encountered a ginkgo tree, he would carve a circle on it.

After walking for a long time, Chai Xiaomi's legs began to ache. When she looked up, she saw that the trunk of a tall ginkgo tree in front of her was covered with a dozen or so circles.

"Divorce, divorce..." She swallowed hard. "Are we... just going in circles?"

no respond.

She turned her head to look, and her fingers suddenly loosened, causing the twig she used to draw circles to slip through her fingers.

There was no one around him.

The shady grove, which had been bathed in light just moments before, was suddenly enveloped by a heavy, dark cloud.

Amidst the dense shadows of the trees, a dark shape seemed to flash swiftly through the darkness.

The surroundings were eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects and the sound of the wind had vanished.

Chai Xiaomi felt as if she could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her ears.

"Lili, where are you?" She looked around in terror, staggered back a few steps, and her back hit a huge boulder. The cold, hard touch made her shudder, and she slowly squatted down and curled up into a ball.

The current situation is far more bizarre than being trapped in a maze.

The shadows in the forest suddenly twisted, and a blinding white light burst forth from directly in front of them, condensing into a huge sphere of light.

Chai Xiaomi's eyes widened.

In the light, a huge fox-like creature slowly rose up.

Its fur was a corpse-like pale white, and its nine long tails swayed behind it like writhing giant pythons, each tail tip split with bright red eye-like markings, turning leisurely.

It turned its face at her.

Thick, dark liquid was constantly seeping from the fox's mouth and nose. Its eyes were completely black, with no whites, yet they seemed to be staring straight at her.

With her back pressed against the rock, Chai Xiaomi glanced to the side and saw a narrow crevice in the rock, just wide enough for her to pass through.

The winding path through the crevices of the rocks in the valley leads to a secluded exit, perhaps one of the exits.

This is a way to survive!

Just then—

"Wow—wow—"

She heard the clear cries of a baby.

It was about two meters away from the front claws of the nine-tailed beast.

The ghost baby is in that pile of leaves!

Chai Xiaomi felt a chill run down her spine. The crying was heart-wrenching, and even the ghost baby was terrified by the overwhelming demonic aura. The crying was a cry of fear, a call for help, and an urgent plea.

It kept pleading, "Don't abandon me..."

"Xiao Ba." Chai Xiaomi stood there, murmuring softly.

This is the nickname she gave it at the end of the script.

Its true name should have been given to it by its loving parents after it is reincarnated.

But once the name is uttered, the bond has already taken root.

This light, airy call drifted on the wind and into the ghost baby's ears.

It gradually stopped crying.

It was as if it suddenly became convinced that its mother would definitely come.

The intense demonic aura was almost tangible, and it trembled so much that even the pile of withered leaves covering it shook.

But amidst the rustling, trembling pile of leaves, a small, wrinkled hand slowly emerged.

Although the little ghosts have a natural fear of demons, after all, a demon can swallow them whole in a single bite, annihilating their souls in the blink of an eye.

But it still held its little hands high.

There seems to be an obsession, deeper than fear, heavier than existence itself.

Even if my soul is scattered, I have no fear.

Chai Xiaomi's heart skipped a beat.

This is a lifesaver! Why isn't the plot following her script?!

She only needed to defeat the "human trafficker" played by Yan Biaotou to successfully rescue the ghost baby, so how did it turn into such a gigantic creature?!

Tell her quickly, is there a higher-dimensional life form controlling the plot?!

Chai Xiaomi turned around and glanced again at the narrow escape gap behind her.

He gritted his teeth.

never mind!

"Xiao Ba." She took a deep breath, her voice trembling, but then suddenly rose.

"Wait! Mommy's coming to save you!!!"
