"Cheng Ping'an... Cheng Ping... Cheng An..." A soul-calling whisper came from above, indistinguishable, like a mix of male, female, old, and young voices, all calling out the same name. At first listen, it sounded like "Cheng Ping'an," but a closer listen revealed it to be a reverberation of the two names, "Cheng Ping" and "Cheng An." Yet, due to the similar intonation and tone, it forcefully gave the illusion of calling the same person. "Drip, drop..." Amidst the human voices, there…-

Pinshu Pavilion, a secluded elegant room. Ruan Guofan entered. Ding Suian rose and greeted him as Uncle. Just as he was about to report on the warehouse street incident, he noticed a woman following Ruan Guofan. "This humble one, Miss Ye Han, greets Young Master." Her figure was graceful, adorned with a light crimson gauze outer robe over a moon-white hezi skirt. Three floral hairpins were affixed to her temples, her hair was styled in a 'fallen horse' bun, and a…-

Cheng Xiaoyu marched at the front, a candy bulging in his cheek, swaggering like a child pretending to be a grown-up—an endearingly clumsy sight. Sun Dekuan trailed behind him, eyes glazed and vacant. After days of watching Qi Si's endless tricks, he'd given up trying to understand and resolved to lie flat like a salted fish. Qi Si slipped into the kitchen on the way, topped up the Candy Jar with a few more tadpoles, then sauntered to the rear of the little…

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Early in the morning, Ding Suian sat in the Halberd Hall quietly waiting for the Jiang siblings to arrive. Yesterday, during Inspector Sun's interrogation, the sudden sharp pain in his Divine Court was identical to the one he felt back at Jintai Temple, leading him to suspect it might be related to a mind-control Divine Ability. He wanted to subtly ask Jiang Yuan whether this situation was due to…

After dinner, Lin Fuyao was in high spirits, recounting recent interesting anecdotes from the capital to amuse Lin Hansu. Lin Hansu usually paid close attention to the capital's affairs, but tonight she seemed…

By the time the three of them returned to the ward, it was already half past six. The floors and corridors they passed through were empty, shadows blurred in the thin morning light, and they didn't encounter any patients or nurses along the way. Sun Dekuan placed Lu Zimo onto the hospital bed, then went back to his own bed and sat down heavily. The two of them looked at the empty bed by the wall that Huang Xiaofei had left behind, and a moment of disorientation arose in…

At Green Frog Hospital, Lin Chen and the Female Teacher stood in a corner, holding their breath as they watched the female ghost and the frogs battle it out. The deafening croaks and cries grew louder and louder, then gradually thinned out after reaching a certain peak, the reverberation softening from its initial ear-splitting roar to a quiet murmur. Lin Chen pretended to be oblivious, secretly observing the Female Teacher's movements, while also pricking up his…

The Hour of the Ox (1 AM–3 AM); the night was deep and the cold intense. In the bedroom in the backyard of Diying Garden, Lin Hansu sat on a chair, her right foot, which had been relieved of its shoes and socks, resting on Ding Suian's lap. He rubbed the medicated wine into his palm to warm it before covering Lin Hansu's swollen ankle. The moment the warm palm made contact, Lin Hansu trembled slightly, instinctively biting her lip, afraid she might let out a…
