C5 Do You Feel Safe

It was already late at night, and with the fatigue of the journey, Yan Ting could no longer support himself. Hu Shisan told them to rest for the night.

Caiang and Jiang Louyue arranged a guest room for them. Caiang looked at the big bed with a cold expression.

"Jiaojiao." Jiang Louyue sat on the bed first and patted the side of the bed with a smile, "Jiaojiao, rest first."

Caiang's expression turned even colder. Like a gust of wind, she rushed to the bed and pulled out a short knife, placing it on Jiang Louyue's neck. The knife was a good knife that could cut through iron like mud. It cut a few strands of Jiang Louyue's hair, and if it was even an inch closer, it would be able to cut through his throat. "Jiang Louyue, what are you trying to do?!"

"Rest. You ran so far just now, are you not tired?" Jiang Louyue smiled innocently, her voice was very gentle.

"If you continue to tease me like this, I won't be polite to you!" Caiang's voice was as cold as the rain in March, bone-chilling. The tip of the knife moved forward and cut through Jiang Louyue's neck.

Caiang was a cultivator of the Ghost Control Technique, and they were collectively known as the ghost control clan. Her husband, Jiang Louyue, was from the yellow talisman faction, and he practiced sword techniques and yellow talismans. He was a modest young master.

They were also divided into three, six, and nine grades. Ghost control, ghost control, and witchcraft were collectively known as the lower three grades.

The yellow talisman faction was the top faction among all the other factions, and the Jiang family was the leader of the yellow talisman faction. Other than the ghosts, demons, evil spirits, and righteousness, they were respected by everyone.

Their ghost control sect had been in contact with evil spirits all year round. The difference between the two sects was like the difference between heaven and earth. No wonder the Jiang family's maidservants looked down on her.

Originally, the two sects should not have had any relationship. After all, one was a great immortal, and the other was a poor family. It was all because of the disaster twenty years ago that Jiang Louyue's father and Caisang's father went to pacify the chaos.

Caisang's mother happened to be pregnant, and the two of them admired each other. They discussed that if the child was a boy, they would become brothers, and if it was a girl, they would become relatives.

This sentence had decided their lives.

Unfortunately, not long after, the two of them fell ill and passed away. However, the marriage agreement did not change.

Originally, it was not much. Many people married someone they did not even know and lived their lives together.

However, Jiang Louyue had the Zhu Sha mole in his heart, and Caisang also had his own white moonlight. The more they looked at each other, the more they didn't like each other. After three months of marriage, not to mention being husband and wife, they could talk more than three sentences a day.

How come after he fainted for fifteen days, he had completely changed after waking up? He had adapted to the previous confrontation, and he felt awkward looking at Jiang Louyue's gentleness.

If he hadn't checked his soul, he would have thought that this guy had been possessed.

"At least I'm your husband. I have to act like a couple in front of others to prevent people from laughing at me." Jiang Louyue smiled as he pinched the tip of the dagger and pushed it to the side. "Is Jiaojiao too cruel to me?"

Caiang coldly looked at him and kept the short knife in her hand. Then she said, "Don't call me Jiaojiao again, or else you will know what ruthlessness is."

After saying that, Caiang turned around and got on the bed. Jiang Louyue smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was about to go to bed, but the person on the bed threw down a bed and said, "You are going to sleep on the floor."

Jiang Louyue, "..."

He laid the blanket on the ground and didn't say anything. He closed his eyes peacefully.

Caiang was really tired and fell asleep very soon. Even Jiang Louyue didn't notice when she got up and laid on the bed to look at him.

Jiang Louyue reached out his hand and pulled Caiang's messy hair behind his ear. His gaze sized up Caiang's face, and his eyes were filled with an obscure and profound love. After that, he took out a yellow talisman and stuffed it into Caiang's chest.

"It's okay, I will protect you well. This time, I will definitely not let you suffer those things again, Jiaojiao..."

The clock struck midnight, and the Yin Qi outside was extremely oppressive.

A figure that looked like a waving branch of a willow tree and a twisted figure appeared in the window.

"Save me, save me..."

The sharp voice passed through the window and went straight into his ears.

Caiang turned around and looked at Jiang Louyue who was sleeping soundly, as if he didn't notice any sound.

"Save me, save me..."

The sound became more urgent and sharp. It was like a knife that had been slashed into her head.

Caiang hesitated for a moment before carefully opening the blanket and jumping off the bed.

She landed without making any sound, and her movements were as light as a cat's. She floated out of the window and walked towards the west.

The moonlight was hazy, and there was a white light flashing past. When mortals saw it, they would only feel that their eyes were blurred.

Caiang followed the sound and walked to the river. That area was where the Thousand Faces were displayed during the Thousand Faces Festival. There were roadblocks set up on the side of the road, and the road was very clean.

When she arrived at the river, the sound suddenly disappeared.

The wind suddenly blew, causing Caiang to be unable to get close to the river. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, and she was unable to open her eyes.

She gritted her teeth and drew a talisman in the air with her fingers. She growled, "Stop!"

In an instant, Caiang's body was enveloped in a trace of golden light. She activated a small barrier and wrapped herself within it. No matter how strong the wind was, it would not be able to move her hair.

Caiang stood by the river. The wind was so strong that the river water did not ripple at all. It was like a pool of dead water.

Caiang turned her head to look at the willow tree that was being blown to the side and then looked back at the river water that did not even show any ripples. She felt that something was wrong.

She reached out her hand and probed into the river. She only felt a pulling force pulling her straight into the river.

Caiang focused her eyes and saw that there was actually a hand in the river. It was thin and pale, and it tightly grabbed her wrist. "Save me, quickly save me..."

Caiang was shocked for a moment and quickly pulled her hand back. A scream came from the river, as if it was ringing in her head. The screams of countless women were incomparably mournful.

Caiang reached out to grab a half jade pendant on her neck. After chanting a few words, the jade pendant flashed with a red light, but it returned to silence.

The ghosts were raised for thousands of days, but they were used for a short time. Now that they were needed, those ghosts were unwilling to come out.

"Why?" Caiang frowned.

The whispers came over, and Caiang's frown became even tighter. "Are you afraid of being controlled by this thing?"

What was hidden in the water? The evil ghost that she raised didn't even dare to show itself, afraid that it would be controlled by something the moment it appeared?

As Caiang thought about this, the scene in front of her eyes blurred. She was forced to dodge in all directions by the thick resentment that came from the front. With a slip of her feet, she fell into the cold river.

"Ah!"

In that instant, Caiang grabbed randomly and seemed to have grabbed something. The warm feeling disappeared immediately, followed by a wave of coldness.

Her heart tightened, and her breathing became disordered as she choked on the cold water.

The water was like mud, heavy and sticky. It was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers. Caiang only felt her hands and feet sinking, and she couldn't even move a finger.

There were countless hands grabbing at her ankles, pulling her all the way down into the bottomless abyss.

Caiang was extremely afraid, but the mud wrapped around her and made her unable to struggle.

A pair of thin hands slowly wrapped around Caisang's neck, and her slender fingers pinched her neck, making it hard for her to breathe.

In her desperation, Caisang bit the tip of her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her chest faintly lit up, and no one knew what it was that illuminated the water.

Only then did she see the true face of the hand that was pinching her.

Her eyebrows were like an apricot, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. A long pink dress floated in the water, like a lotus that had sunk into mud.

It was Caisang. She looked exactly like Caisang.

The man was still pinching Caisang, and his eyes were wide open in anger. His voice was sharp, "Did you forget? Did you forget?! Do you forget the blood hatred of the Cai Family?!"

"Your parents are watching from under the spring. Caisang, are you at ease? Are you at ease?!"
