The four thousand mu of land is quite vast, and Cheng Zihan has made a very thorough plan.

  During this period, the flower market still exists, so Cheng Zihan set aside a piece of land to cultivate various flowers. However, she is not very willing to do low-end ones, so for now, she plans to start with mid-range flowers. In addition to flowers, due to the recent development of the national economy, it is expected that there will be a leapfrog development in the next two years, and the market for green plants should also be good at that time. The main reason is that it can establish a good relationship with the government and build some connections, so Cheng Zihan also set aside 300 mu of land near the flower cultivation base to plant green plants. The flower cultivation base only plans to use one mu of land for now, mainly for cultivation, and after successful cultivation and good results, it will be transplanted to other places.

  Because of the auction of these two pieces of land, Cheng Zihans reserve funds are not much now, so they cannot be wasted too much, and every step needs to be carefully considered.

  Flowers and greening vegetation this block programme includes planting gardens, currently temporarily plans to take out 500 acres of land for this block.

  Apart from this, breeding is now relatively profitable, but the risk is also greater. Cheng Zihan only plans to take out 300 mu of land for now, to raise ordinary livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep. If it goes well later, he will consider other options.

  Because the four thousand mu of land also includes a small hillside, with a considerable area, Cheng Zihan did not want to destroy the greening here, so he divided it into the breeding farm, and some chickens and ducks can be raised on the mountain.

  Starting from the 1990s, the real estate industry in Wangcheng began to take off. So, Cheng Zihan reserved 1,000 mu of land for future house construction and also became a real estate developer.

  However, after planning like this, there is still a large amount of land left idle. Cheng Ziheng again divided out 200 mu of land to cultivate medicinal materials, and the mountains have many medicinal materials that must be utilized. Moreover, the Shu Ling space also has a lot of rare medicinal materials, which can be taken out to try planting.

  This leaves two thousand acres of land, and Cheng Zihan is really headache, can't think of what else to do.

  Qin Ke came out at this time, took a look at the picture drawn by Cheng Zihan, and twitched his mouth.

  "What are you doing?" He gave Cheng Zihan a white eye, this ghostly symbol-like thing, he really couldn't understand.

  "That 4,000 mu of land has been invested in, I need to plan what to use it for." Cheng Zihan didn't look at Qin Kexiu, continuing to write and draw on the paper.

  Qin Kexiu heard this and walked over, pointing at the white paper with some grass painted on it, asking: "What is this thing?"

  "This is a flower." Cheng Zihan added a small flower on top and replied.

  Qin Kesou's mouth twitched again, and he pointed to a thing with several connected triangles drawn on it, asking: "What about this?"

  "Tree." Cheng Zihan thought she had drawn it very vividly and couldn't understand why Qin Kexiu would ask such a silly question.

  "What about this one?"

  "Pigs, cows and sheep." Cheng Zihan continued to explain.

  Qin Ke Xiu has been thoroughly defeated by Cheng Zi Han.

  "Do you want to use the land there for a farm?" Qin Kexiu asked, looking at the white paper.

  "Well, I plan to use 300 mu of land for a breeding farm. What's wrong with that?" Cheng Zihan finally looked up at Qin Kexiu.

  "Of course, there's a problem, are you an idiot, Cheng Zihan? The land location is so good, close to the city, of course it will be vigorously developed for real estate. You should take out 3,000 mu of land to develop real estate, and use the remaining 1,000 mu as a base for cultivating flowers and greenery." Qin Kexiu gave Cheng Zihan a white eye and said.

  "Three thousand mu for real estate? But now the real estate in Wangcheng has not developed yet, and our current funds are not enough, we can't even build a house." Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow, asking somewhat puzzled.

  "You're a big landowner now, don't you know that the country's policy is supporting development at this time? You can go to the bank for a loan, and it doesn't even require interest right now, just need someone to vouch for you, and you can get a large loan. The house can be built later, we can develop a planting base first, in addition to high-end flowers and plants, we can also plant some medicinal materials." Qin Ke looked at Cheng Zihuan with contempt, feeling disdainful that she didn't even know the country's current policy.

  "Ah, I see! How come I didn't think of that?" Cheng Zihan suddenly realized.

  Once she thought it through, she immediately felt relieved that everything was going to be okay. As long as the loan was successful, things would be easy to handle, and there would be no need for high interest rates, which would be a great thing.

  "How could a fool like you possibly think of that?" Qin Kesou looked at Cheng Zihuan with disdain.

  Cheng Zihan punched him, but only after punching did he realize that he couldn't hit him. He propped up his chin and stared at Qin Kexiu, "Qin Kexiu, you're really annoying."

  At this moment, Han Yi's appearance suddenly floated in front of her eyes, thinking of that unexpected kiss, a blush quickly flew onto Cheng Zihans face.

  Looking at Cheng Zihan's infatuated appearance, Qin Kexiu's eyes became even more contemptuous, "Infatuated."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Ke Xiu directly left, seemingly too lazy to see Cheng Zi Han again.

  Cheng Zihan slept beautifully and was woken up early the next morning by the noisy sounds.

  Rubbed his eyes and looked at the time, it was only 7 o'clock. Who is making so much noise outside so early?

  Cheng Zihan yawned and walked out, outside were Cheng Hai and Li Lan, Cheng Zixi was nestled in Li Lan's arms, also looking like she hadn't woken up yet.

  At the door, Lai Ying, Cheng Shihao, Cheng Shan, Liu Ying were all there, even the annoying Cheng Ziming was present. Looking at their posture, it seems that nothing good is going to happen.

  "A Hai, it's not that I want to say you, but how can you be a big brother? I know you just spent tens of millions of dollars investing in thousands of acres of land, can't you even lend your younger brother a few hundred thousand yuan for turnover? It's just borrowing, not like we won't return it to you. Are you really unwilling to do so? We've raised you for so many years and have never asked anything from you before, this is the first time we're asking, and you actually want to refuse us?" Lai Ying sat in front of Cheng Hai, looking at him coldly and questioning him.

  Cheng Shan looked at Cheng Hai with an apologetic expression, as if he too was reluctant to find Cheng Hai and borrow money in this way.

  Liu Ying, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but speak up, "Mom, why are you talking to him so much? You raised him for so many years, and now his children are grown up. Although they've separated households, it's still necessary to support their parents. Why not just ask him to give a lump sum of money for your old age, that would be reasonable too, where's the need to borrow?"

  Hearing Liu Ying's words, Cheng Zihan couldn't help but sneer coldly.

  This couple is really disgusting, they abandoned Lai Ying's parents before and now that they're back, they want to take their money. Who knows how many good words they used to deceive the two elderly people into coming to find Cheng Hai for money? Now they even have the nerve to mention taking care of the elderly?

  Cheng Zihan just glanced at them lightly and sat down beside Cheng Hai, "Auntie, I don't like to hear this. My dad has supported the two of them for so many years and given them a lot of money. I think they should be aware of that in their hearts. As for you, since you bought a house and moved into the city, have you ever come back to visit them? Have you ever given them any money? Support fees? Didn't Uncle support them when they were growing up?"

  Cheng Zihan's sarcastic remark didn't give Liu Ying any face at all.

  Cheng Hai listened to Cheng Zihan's words and looked at Liu Ying's face, feeling relieved in his heart.

  After all, he couldn't afford to offend Lai Ying and Cheng Shihao too much, but Cheng Zihan was young and had always been like this, so everyone just said she was impolite and lacked family education, but they wouldn't really do anything to her, besides what she said was true.

  "Hmph! When did it become your turn to interrupt, a mere child, when adults are speaking?" Lai Ying let out a cold snort and gave Cheng Zihuan a chilly stare.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but laugh, looking at Lai Ying, "Grandma probably doesn't know, before Dad bid on that land, it was my godfather who lent the money. In other words, that money wasn't even Dad's own money, and he still has to pay it back after making a profit. Now that we've invested in 4,000 mu of land, there's hardly any money left over. Are we not going to develop the land we got back? Just let it grow weeds? You're really being tactless coming to borrow money at this time."

  In the end, Cheng Zihan's tone also changed, and she glared fiercely at Lai Ying and Liu Ying.

  "You!" Lai Ying stood up excitedly upon hearing this, although she also understood that Cheng Zihans words were reasonable, but today this money, she really had to get it back!

  "Alright, Ah Hai, if you don't give me the money, I'll report you to the village committee!" Lai Ying finally steeled herself.

  "Tell my dad? That's funny, what are you going to tell him?" Cheng Zihan heard this and couldn't help but sneer, mocking Lai Ying.

  "Hum, since ancient times, children supporting their parents has been the natural order of things! He's not supporting us two old people now, that's unfilial!" Lai Ying scolded viciously.

  "Unfilial? From the time I started working, how much money have you given me each year? Do you dare to say it out loud? When he was about to get married, he couldn't even take out the money for the betrothal gift, and in the end, he had to borrow from my grandmother. My mom came into our family with nothing, not even a bed! When my brother fell seriously ill and needed money, you repeatedly dodged and weaved, forcing him to be sent away to someone else's care. My mom still cries about it until she can't breathe! And now you dare to say he is unfilial in front of me? Is being unfilial having no complaints about your actions? Is being unfilial giving you the first priority whenever I receive my salary? Is being unfilial letting you live so comfortably? Get out, right now! Try saying one more word and see what happens! Don't think I don't know what you're plotting. Uncle's unit is moving away from here, and there are some houses in the city that they want to purchase. One house requires an additional 50,000 yuan, but now you can't come up with the money, so you're trying to take advantage of my dad! I'm telling you, it's not going to happen! There won't even be a window of opportunity! Get out!"

  Lai Ying was speechless after being questioned by Cheng Zihan, who spoke the truth. She felt a flush of embarrassment and looked at Cheng Zihan awkwardly, then glanced at Cheng Hai, whose face had also turned unsightly. She knew that if they continued talking today, it would likely lead to a permanent rift between mother and son.

  Thinking about these years, I have indeed wronged Cheng Hai. It's not good to continue talking, so I gritted my teeth and turned around to leave.

  Cheng Shihao also left with them.

  Cheng Shan looked at Cheng Hai for a moment, wanting to say something but ultimately said nothing and turned away.

  Liu Ying glared at Cheng Zihan with a fierce gaze, scolding: "You little slut! Don't think I don't dare to discipline you! Let me tell you, I won't let this go just like that!"

  After finishing speaking, she hurriedly ran after Cheng Shan.

  Cheng Ziming didn't leave in a hurry, instead he looked at Cheng Zihan with eyes full of resentment.

  He knew that the house in the village was going to be taken back, and if they couldn't get the money to buy a house in town, they would have to move back to the village. This was unacceptable to him.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at him lightly and ignored him, turning back to her own room.

  Cheng Hai glanced at Cheng Ziming, but didn't pay much attention to him.

  Li Lan had just heard Cheng Zihan's words and began to wipe away tears nonstop.

  All these years, she has endured countless hardships and bitterness. Now that the family's situation has finally improved slightly, Lai Ying wants to come and find trouble with them again, not wanting to let them go. She really can't bear it anymore.

  Cheng Hai looked at Li Lan and sighed, "A Lan, don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past. We'll be fine from now on."

  He took Li Lan into his arms and comforted her in a soft voice.

  Several people did not notice that Cheng Ziming had secretly run into the small garden in the front yard and hid.

  At 7:30, Cheng Hai and Li Lan both went out to work, leaving Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi at home.

  Cheng Zihan was just about to take Cheng Zixi out for a walk, and as soon as they stepped out of the gate, they saw Cheng Ziming walking out of the garden. His forehead had a faint dark aura, which made Cheng Zihan feel uneasy. There was a very abnormal vengeful spirit in that garden, and Cheng Ziming had just gone in - could he have been infected with some kind of evil energy?

  Cheng Ziming sneered and walked to the front of Cheng Zihan and Cheng Zixi, looking down on them condescendingly. "Hmph, you little rascal, now that your dad and mom are not around, what's there for you to be proud of?"

  Cheng Ziming said, and then stretched out his hand towards Cheng Zihan and beckoned him over.

  Cheng Zihan turned her face away, looking coldly at Cheng Ziming, "Cheng Ziming, what do you want to do?"

  "I'll beat you two to death today! See if you still dare to be so glib!" Cheng Ziming cursed viciously, stretching out his hand again.

  Cheng Zihan hastily pulled Cheng Zixi behind her and stretched out her hand to block Cheng Ziming's.

  Cheng Zixi looked at Cheng Ziming and shouted loudly: "What do you want to do? Don't bully my sister! Be careful, I'll bite you!"

  Cheng Ziming heard this and coldly laughed, "Bite me? I'll beat you all to death today!"

  Cheng Ziming suddenly lifted his foot and kicked Cheng Zihan's stomach with a loud thud, causing her to retreat several steps back. The force of the kick also caused Cheng Zixi, who was standing behind her, to stumble backward and land on her buttocks.

  Before Cheng Zixi could get up, Cheng Ziming rushed over and grabbed Cheng Zihan's collar, pulling her up.

  The difference in strength between a 14-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl was now clearly evident.

  Cheng Zihan didn't panic, Cheng Ziming guessed that he was possessed by some dirty thing, so he dared to be so bold. Cheng Zihan thought about whether there was anything on her body that could cure him, but she couldn't think of anything after thinking for half a day.

  At this time, Qin Ke Xiu's voice came out, "Cheng Zi Han, quickly, take out the Ice Jade Pearl!"

  Cheng Zihan immediately took out the Ice Jade Pearl from the storage ring and threw it at Cheng Ziming.

  "Ah——" Cheng Ziming rolled around on the ground in agony, covering his eyes as if he had suffered extreme pain.

  Cheng Zihan was also thrown to the ground, she retreated a few steps back, coldly staring at Cheng Ziming who was in pain, thick black **gushed out from all over his body, and the entire room was filled with a foul odor.

  It's indeed possessed by an evil spirit, Cheng Zihan frowned and coldly looked at all of this.

  Soon, Cheng Ziming fell to the ground motionless.

  Cheng Zihan pinched her nose and walked over, stretching out her foot to kick him twice. This scourge mustn't die here, or how would she explain it later?

  Cheng Ziming was as if he had died, without any reaction at all.

  "Don't worry, I'm not dead." Qin Kexiu's voice came out at this time, and he walked over to pick up the Ice Jade Pearl.

  Cheng Zihan frowned as she looked at the eerie bead, the unsettling aura on it seemed to have intensified, making her feel even more repelled.

  Qin Ke Xiu ignored Cheng Zi Han and took the Ice Jade Pearl back to the Tree Spirit Space directly.

  Cheng Zihan took a glance at Cheng Ziming, who was lying in the black blood water, and held back her nausea to drag him out, directly throwing him into the alley behind.

  Just as he turned his head, a teasing voice rang out in his ear, "Xiaozi Han, you've killed someone?"

  Cheng Zihan suddenly turned around, almost startled, but saw Han Yi standing behind her with a seemingly smiling expression.

  "How did you end up here?" Cheng Zihan wondered in his heart. Hadn't he already arranged for someone to come and protect himself? How could he still appear himself?

  "I'm worried, so I've moved in next to your house now. What's going on with him?" Han Yi asked with a smile, then pointed at Cheng Ziming beside him and asked.

  "Never mind him, let's go in first." Cheng Zihan reached out and pulled Han Yi's hand, leading him into her own home.

  Seeing the disgusting bloodstain at the door, Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched. This Cheng Ziming really didn't have any good intentions, and he even left her such a mess to clean up!

  "You wait here, help me coax my little sister and don't let her cry. I'll go clean up a bit and come back to talk to you." Cheng Zihan said as she directly left Han Yi and Cheng Zixi in the house.

  Cheng Zixi was frightened by that scene, still sobbing uncontrollably, but when she saw Han Yi, she stopped crying and stared at him with her big, innocent eyes.

  Cheng Zihan fetched some water and started cleaning up the bloodstains at the entrance.

  After cleaning for nearly half an hour, I finally finished. When I entered the door, I found that Cheng Zixi and Han Yi were playing happily together.

  Cheng Zixi is relatively introverted and rarely gets close to strangers, but unexpectedly got along well with Han Yi.

  "Zi Xi." Cheng Zihan called out to Cheng Zixi, but found that her own sister was so heartless as to directly ignore her and enthusiastically flirt with Han Yi.

  Cheng Zihan silently made a face, Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan with a seemingly smiling but not quite smiling expression, his eyes clearly showing schadenfreude.

  Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes.

  "Aren't you the one who said we can't let Qin Hongwei suspect, so we can't get too close to each other? How come you suddenly moved in next door to my house?" Cheng Zihan plopped down on the ground with a thud, sat cross-legged and looked up at Han Yi.

  Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan and smiled: "I miss you."

  Cheng Zihan rolled her eyes upon hearing this and said, "Big mouth!"

  Cheng Zihan blinked her big eyes and looked at Han Yi, then looked at Cheng Zihan again, and asked crisply: "Sister, is this your boyfriend?"

  Cheng Zihan heard this and suddenly spat it out, then looked at Cheng Zixi and asked in surprise: "Cheng Zixi, you're only five years old, who taught you this?"

  At that time it was still very feudal and conservative, even 15 or 16 year old kids wouldn't dare to say such bold words, Cheng Zixi's sentence really shocked Cheng Zihan.

  "It was a butterfly who told me." Cheng Zixi replied honestly.

  "Damn butterfly! Dare to tell Subei such nonsense again, and I'll pinch you to death!" Cheng Zihan pulled down the quiet butterfly on Cheng Zixi's shoulder and threatened fiercely.

  Cheng Zixi, however, snatched the butterfly back and said, "No, sister, when I grow up, I want to be the girlfriend of a butterfly."

  Cheng Zihan almost spat blood upon hearing this.

  Han Yi looked at the lively pair, his smile growing wider. He was a bit curious - how exactly did Cheng Zixi communicate with this butterfly? This butterfly didn't seem to be ordinary.

  "Zixi, don't listen to him, he's a butterfly, you're a human being, how can humans be together with butterflies?" Cheng Zihan explained patiently.

  Cheng Zixi looked at Cheng Zihan with a confused expression, then shook her head firmly. "No matter what, I like butterflies. When I grow up, I want to marry a butterfly."

  Cheng Zihan silently wiped a cold sweat and stopped talking altogether.

  This kid is easily spoiled, such a pure and innocent child was ruined like this.

  "What are you talking about?" Han Yi looked at them with amusement and couldn't help but ask.

  "It's nothing." Cheng Zihan hastily shook her head.

  Cheng Zixi was afraid that Cheng Zihan would pinch her butterfly to death, so she ran out of the door and waited outside.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Han Yi and asked softly. "I know you didn't come here for nothing, so tell me, what's going on?"

  Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan and sighed, "You're always so clever. An ancient tomb was discovered by the river, my grandfather said that there's something strange inside, he asked me to come take a look. You live here, you should know what happened there, can you tell me?"

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow upon hearing the words. In that ancient tomb, a large snake was discovered, along with some valuable burial objects, but nothing else. After thinking for a moment, she recounted everything she knew: "That's all I know. The Ice Jade Pearl is said to be inside that ancient tomb, but when they excavated it, there was no coffin, only a five-colored snake. The snake has already been taken away by them. But the Ice Jade Pearl appeared at an auction."

  Cheng Zihan always felt that there was something in this process that she didn't know about.

  "Well, the snake was sent to the research institute in Wang City, but it suddenly disappeared that night. Nobody knew what happened, but everyone in the institute died overnight, and the whole place was covered in blood. The white walls were stained red with blood. The dead people only had some remaining limbs left, and some said that the big snake woke up and ate them, but nobody knows exactly what happened. I've already told my family about the Ice Jade, but I didn't tell them it's in your hands. This Ice Jade has some special abilities, and it's not simple at all. It's said that if you get it, you can live forever and never die, but whether it's true or not, nobody knows. You must be careful to keep it a secret and don't let anyone know." Han Yi nodded and told Cheng Zihuan some things he knew, then carefully reminded him again.

  "Are they all dead?" Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow. It seemed that the big snake should have woken up, but why did the Ice Jade appear at the underground auction?

  This thing is probably only known to Silver Swallow and her group, but even if they know, they probably won't tell her.

  "En." Han Yi nodded.

  "That broken bead is very strange, I don't like it at all, and I don't think having it can make me live forever, it's probably a scam." Cheng Zihan said as soon as she thought of the Ice Jade Bead, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart.

  "Are you too?" Han Yi was slightly surprised by his words.

  He had heard the elders in his family say that due to some special reasons, the descendants of the Han family have a natural rejection of the Ice Jade Pearl. As a descendant of the Han family, it was normal for him to reject the Ice Jade Pearl, but why did Cheng Zihang also reject it?

  "Ah, Mr. Duan Hengshan also felt very uncomfortable, not just me." Cheng Zihan said, looking at Han Yi's strange expression.

  She didn't feel anything was wrong, wasn't it because everyone felt uncomfortable before that's why they didn't participate in the Ice Jade Pearl auction? Why did Han Yi look so surprised?

  "No, it shouldn't be. Duan Hengshan is also considered one of our Han family members, although the bloodline has become very diluted, but after all, he is still a descendant of my Han family. And he practices Xuanmen techniques, so he can feel some spiritual things and feel uncomfortable, which is normal. But you shouldn't be like this either?" Han Yi patiently explained the relationship to Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow upon hearing this and thought for a moment before tentatively asking, "Then, could it be because I have the Spirit Communication Technique?"

  This is probably the only explanation.

  "Are you a medium?" Han Yi was even more surprised when he heard this.

  Cheng Zihan nodded honestly.

  "That must be the reason." After some thought, Han Yi couldn't guess what it was either and could only temporarily put it out of his mind.

  The two of them chatted for a bit longer, then Han Yi glanced at his watch and excused himself first.

  Cheng Zihan sent him to the door, just in time to see Cheng Ziming, who had woken up and was walking over unsteadily. Cheng Zihan couldn't help but roll her eyes, directly entering the house and closing the big door, too lazy to see Cheng Ziming.

  "Cheng Zihan, Cheng Zihan, you little scoundrel, open the door quickly! Open the door!" Cheng Ziming pounded on the door and bellowed loudly.

  Han Yi hadn't gone far when he heard Cheng Ziming's words, furrowed his brow, looked at Cheng Ziming, and his eyes were somewhat cold.

  Cheng Ziming only felt a sudden chill behind his back, turned around and saw Han Yi. He looked at Han Yi's sickly appearance and shouted in annoyance, "What are you looking at? Look again and I'll dig out your dog eyes!"

  When Han Yi heard Cheng Ziming's words, he couldn't help but smile and asked him gently, "What did you just say?"

  Cheng Ziming instinctively shook his body, feeling that Han Yi's eyes were a bit scary, but looking at Han Yi's thin and weak appearance, he didn't seem like someone who could fight, so he loudly shouted: "I said dig out your dog eyes!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, two bodyguards walked out of the house behind Han Yi and directly went up to him, one hand holding him on either side, lifting him up.

  "Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Let me go quickly! Do you know who I am? I'm the young master of the Cheng family!" Cheng Ziming shouted loudly again.

  "Sorry, I was aiming at you. Hit me!" Han Yi's eyes turned cold, just now he was actually rude to Cheng Zihuan, this point alone deserves death!

  Cheng Zihan didn't know that Cheng Ziming was brutally beaten by Han Yi. She only felt that the vengeful spirit in the garden, if not resolved, would always be a disaster. After thinking for a moment, she let Cheng Zixi stay at home and not run around, then she took garlic and two wooden boards and walked over.

  Qin Kesou floated out at this time, looked at Cheng Zihuan, and his mouth twitched as he asked: "Cheng Zihuan, what are you doing?"

  Cheng Zihan waved the garlic and wooden board in her hand and said: "I want to go see if I can collect that vengeful spirit."

  "Is that all you've got? Is that all you're capable of?" Qin Ke Xiu rolled his eyes, he didn't want to look down on Cheng Zi Han, but what she had done made him unable to hold back.

  "Aren't ghosts afraid of garlic and crosses?" Cheng Zihan said, crossing the two wooden boards and pushing them towards Qin Kexiu.

  Qin Kesou's mouth twitched slightly as he stared at Cheng Zihuan, expressionless. "Do you think this thing is really useful? You've been watching too many TV dramas."

  Seeing Qin Kexiu's lack of reaction, Cheng Zihan dejectedly put down the things in his hand. If he wasn't even afraid of Qin Kexiu, then there was no need to mention the vengeful spirit.

  "There is something that can deal with the vengeful spirit, but if you go, it's too risky and might harm you." Qin Kexiu said after some thought.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hastily moved closer, asking: "What method? Tell me quickly!"

  "Use the Ice Jade Bead, but if you fail, the backlash will hurt you. However, if you succeed, your spiritual powers should advance to a higher level." Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihuan and said calmly, but his eyes betrayed a hint of concern.

  Cheng Zihan thought for a moment, this was indeed somewhat adventurous, but if they didn't take care of it now, the vengeful spirit would probably come out soon. If Cheng Zixi or someone else in the family accidentally got close to it, who knows what kind of accident might happen? It's better to resolve it as soon as possible.

  "It's nothing, at worst I'll just die again. How can anything be accomplished if we don't give it our all? I'm going right now, hand over the Ice Jade Bead." Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and charged out.

  Qin Kesou furrowed his brow in concern, seemingly reluctant.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Qin Kexiu and said loudly: "Hurry up!"

  Qin Kexiu only handed the Ice Jade Pearl over to Cheng Zihan's hands.

  Cheng Zihan only then saw clearly, the blood color inside this pearl seemed to have thickened a bit more, originally there was only a thread of blood flowing inside, now it had become a cluster of blood that was slightly wriggling.

  Looking at this thing, Cheng Zihan felt that all the pores on her body had expanded, it was really uncomfortable.

  "This broken thing is really uncomfortable." Cheng Zihan couldn't help but complain, then took the Ice Jade Pearl and walked towards the garden.

  Cheng Zihan didn't have any special vision, but he could still see that the place was filled with dark energy. It seemed that the vengeful spirit's power was getting stronger and stronger, and it might soon break through the seal and come out.

  But Qin Kexiu didn't say that seal was very strong? How could it be broken in just a few days?

  Before Cheng Zihan could think clearly, a black figure emerged from the ground, and a ferocious and terrifying face appeared in front of him. A sharp and piercing voice also entered his ears, "Pure Yin Body! Pure Yin Body! As long as I eat you, I can be reborn! I can restore my former glory! Come on, come on, let me eat you!"

  Cheng Zihan only felt her eardrum jumping and throbbing in pain, she reached out to wipe it, and found that her hand was full of blood. It seemed that the demonic sound had actually pierced her eardrum.

  "You talk too much!" Cheng Zihan scolded in a bad temper and threw the Ice Jade Pearl in her hand at the resentful spirit.

  "Ice Jade Pearl! It's actually an Ice Jade Pearl! You're a purely yin body, how can you have an Ice Jade Pearl?" The vengeful spirit let out a mournful cry, its voice filled with fear.

  But soon she calmed down, and the Ice Jade Pearl was jumping continuously in mid-air, with a red light shooting out from time to time, hitting the resentful spirit's body.

  Cheng Zihan watched as the black air on the vengeful spirit's body grew fainter and fainter, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

  But she didn't realize that she was now covered in blood and had become a bloody person.

  Qin Kesou watched from the side with a frightened heart, wanting to go over and help, but was also afraid that Cheng Ziheng would suffer even greater harm.

  At last, a red light flashed in the Ice Jade Pearl, and the vengeful spirit completely disappeared. The black air in the garden also vanished into thin air.

  Cheng Zihan finally collapsed to the ground at this time, his life or death unknown.

  "Cheng Zihan, Cheng Zihan!" Qin Kexiu hastily ran over, but unfortunately he couldn't get close to Cheng Zihan at all and could only watch her with great concern.

  "Ke Xiu, you're being too rash and impulsive, how can you let her take such a risk?"

  Qin Kesu heard Mang Cang's voice and was overjoyed, hastily saying: "Mang Cang, you're back! Quickly, save her!"

  A majestic figure appeared in front of the two people. He stretched out his hand and picked up Cheng Ziheng, then instantly returned to the Tree Spirit space.

  At this time, Tian Can was sitting in the Tree Spirit Space, holding a Blood Spirit Mushroom and gnawing on it. Seeing Cheng Zihans blood-covered body, he excitedly pounced over like a small dog, "So much blood, is it all specially prepared for me?"

  The swallow spoke and stretched out its small tongue, licking the blood on Cheng Zihans body.

  Qin Kesou watched Tian Can's movements and wanted to go pull him open, but was stopped by Mang Cang.

  "Let him go, his silkworm liquid can cure her injuries, but she's hurt too badly, I'm afraid she'll be unconscious for a few days." Mang Cang stopped Qin Kexiu and sighed.

  "She won't have any accidents, will she?" Qin Kexiu regretted it now, if he had known that Cheng Zihuan would be hurt so badly, he wouldn't have told her this method even if he was beaten to death.

  "Ah, it's also fate. This time is her chance to make a breakthrough. If she pulls through, her cultivation will make great progress. You've inadvertently helped her too. She was originally a pure yin body and had a conflicting relationship with the Ice Jade Pearl, so she shouldn't have been able to use it. But you gave it to her, allowing her to use it and absorb some of the spiritual energy within. When she wakes up, who knows what great opportunity she'll encounter? This is also her fate. We can't do anything else. After the Celestial Silkworm finishes drinking her blood, it will spin a cocoon around her. About seven days later, she should wake up. If she doesn't wake up after seven days... I'm afraid things won't look good." Mang Cang patted Qin Kexiu's shoulder and explained.

  Qin Kesou's face was filled with distress as he looked at Cheng Zihans pale face and tightly closed eyes, praying in his heart: "Cheng Zihan, you absolutely cannot die! You still have a great revenge to take, you still need to investigate the truth about Zhou Zirans betrayal of you back then, there are too many things you havent done yet. You cant die, absolutely cant die!"

  After the celestial silkworm finished drinking blood, it was also tired and lay on top of Cheng Zihan. From his body, countless silk threads slowly crawled out and quickly wrapped him and Cheng Zihan inside. Soon, a cocoon-like object appeared in front of Qin Kexiu.

  Qin Kesou didn't dare to leave half a step, and he kept guarding in front of the silkworm cocoon. Mang Cang knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he just let him be. Anyway, ghosts wouldn't get hungry.

  Time passed day by day, in order not to let Cheng Hai and others worry, Mang Cang came out once and told them that Tian Can missed Cheng Zihan, so he took Cheng Zihan back home and would bring her back after a few days.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan did not suspect anything and stayed for a meal of wild vegetables.

  Qin Kesou stared intently at the transformation of the silkworm cocoon.

  On the first day, the silkworm cocoon was spotlessly white and emitted a faint white glow.

  The next day, a faint red color appeared on the surface of the silkworm pupae, and the white fluorescence emitted also had a bloody hue.

  On the third day, the silkworm pupae turned even redder and the surrounding blood color became clearer.

  ……

  By the last day, the entire cocoon had turned blood-red, and the entire Tree Spirit space was filled with a pungent bloody smell.

  Qin Kexiu's heart was hanging in his throat.

  Mang Cang looked at the blood-colored cocoon and furrowed his brow. Turning into a blood color wasn't a good omen, after all.

  But seeing Qin Ke Xiu's worried expression, he didn't dare say anything that would provoke him, so he remained silent.

  Time slowly passed, and it was already dawn, but the cocoon still hadn't cracked open, and Cheng Zihang still hadn't appeared.

  At this time, it was not just Qin Kexiu who was anxious, but also Mangcang.

  Suddenly, the originally blood-colored silkworm cocoon shone with a brilliant golden light, and its original bloody aura completely dissipated. A beam of golden light shot straight into the clouds, making it impossible for Qin Kexiu and Mang Cang to open their eyes.

  In an instant, a burst of crackling sounds came out, Qin Kexiu's eyes didn't dare to blink, staring straight at the scene in front of him.

  The cocoon finally cracked open, and the person inside reappeared in front of him once again.

  A spotless white body, emitting a faint white glow, as beautiful as top-grade sheep fat jade. Originally closed eyes slowly opened, long eyelashes lightly trembled, a pair of black shiny eyes, with a hint of purity, looking at everything in front of them.

  When she saw Qin Kexiu, she suddenly smiled, and that smile was so charming that it made Qin Kexiu's eyes flutter.

  Overjoyed at the sight, he nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, unexpectedly got such a great opportunity, really good luck."

  Cheng Zihan had already opened his eyes at this time, and saw Qin Kexiu staring straight at him with wide eyes. He was taken aback, looked down, and found that he was actually naked at the moment.

  Honestly, an eight-year-old body is thin and not very attractive, but it can't be helped that inside lives a soul of over twenty years old.

  Cheng Zihan's face turned red, and she glared at Qin Kexiu with a fierce gaze, hastily covering her face with her hand, scolding: "Qin Kexiu, you rascal, where are your eyes looking?"

  Qin Kexiu heard Cheng Zihan's words and suddenly woke up from his dream. Just a moment ago, he had actually dozed off for an instant.

  In his dream, Cheng Zihan had grown up into a beautiful young woman, wearing a snow-white wedding dress, running forward non-stop and calling out his name. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

  Cheng Zihan's voice brought him back to reality, but the dream was too real and he still felt a bit dazed. He only looked at Cheng Zihan when he heard her words, his mouth twitching violently as he said, "Cheng Zihan, don't you look at yourself? What do I see in you? You're not even worth looking at!"

  Qin Kesou said as if he wanted to prove his words were true, turned around and ran away.

  Mang Cang looked at Cheng Zihan and couldn't help but walk over, "Zihan, you, you succeeded, succeeded, great, great."

  Wildly excited.

  The celestial silkworm was still asleep at this time, probably because it had absorbed too much of Cheng Zihans blood, so for the time being it couldnt digest.

  "What did I succeed in?" Cheng Zihan looked at Mang Cang with a puzzled expression, and found that as soon as she had the thought, a set of clothes appeared on her body.

  "Haha, you were heavily injured by that vengeful spirit and Heaven's Silkworm wrapped you in his cocoon to save you. As a result, he himself also got exhausted and went in with you. Now that you're out, it seems you unexpectedly obtained Heaven's Silkworm's ability. I think it should be the power to reverse time, but there's a limit to how much time can be reversed. Right now, I estimate it should be possible to turn back time to two or three days ago without any issues."

  Cheng Zihan was shocked at first, then overjoyed.

  "Really?" If it's really true that she has such an ability, Cheng Zihan believes that as long as she continues to cultivate, one day she can reverse time and go back to the past to see what happened in the first place, and whether Zhou Ziran really betrayed her.

  I don't know why, but every time I meet Zhou Ziran again, Cheng Zihan always feels that he won't betray himself. Moreover, Qin Jing's words are not believed by her, this woman has never told herself the truth from the beginning, and it is impossible to say so in the end.

  "Okay, but you're very weak now and need a good rest." Mangcang nodded, looking at Cheng Zihan, with joy slowly filling his eyes.

  If saying that being contracted by Cheng Zihan was helpless, the reason why he didn't resist was because her pure yin body could be well-shaped. Now, he has completely accepted Cheng Zihan.

  "En." Cheng Zihan felt exhausted and weak all over, after listening to Mangcang's words, she closed her eyes and rested.

  This time Cheng Zihan fainted for a long time and actually slept for three days before fully recovering.

  Qin Kexiu appeared less frequently after Cheng Zihan woke up. Cheng Zihan only felt that he was a bit strange, but she didn't bother him either.

  She now has the ability to reverse time. After waking up, she immediately wants to try out the magical power of her abilities.

  Mang Cheng has already told her that she is now too weak and can't withstand the physical burden of using such an ability, so she can only use it once a month, no more than that.

  The method used is simple, just close your eyes and think about the time you want to go back to.

  Roughly estimating, Chengzi Han can only go back three days ago, no more than that.

  Cheng Zihan sat cross-legged, thinking in her heart about the time she wanted to return. During this period, there must be no distractions, because once distracted, failure could happen at any moment.

  However, Cheng Zihans obsession was too heavy, she always wanted to go and see what happened when she died, so she couldn't concentrate.

  Some fragments vaguely emerged in my mind, but the fragments were too chaotic and couldn't be seen clearly what they were.

  It was just the last scene that was crystal clear.

  "Drink." Cheng Zihan suddenly opened her eyes, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were all soaked.

  That last scene was too clear, so clear that she still can't come back from it until now.

  She saw Zhou Ziran inside the light screen, his whole body covered in blood, on the verge of death. She could vaguely see his mouth opening and closing, softly calling out her name.

  Zhou Ziran, is he dead?

  Cheng Zihan felt that the shock in her heart was too great, making it hard for her to accept.

  However, the cause and effect were not clear to her, those fragments were too fragmented, the shadows of people were chaotic and pieced together, she couldn't combine them into a complete thing, but one thing was certain, when she had an accident, Zhou Ziran was seriously injured!

  So, Qin Jing lied to her from the start! Zhou Ziran didn't know about that matter at all!

  What happened after all?

  At this moment, Cheng Zihan only felt that the doubts in his heart were even heavier. It seemed that if he wanted to understand clearly, he had to let his reverse time ability slowly improve, so that he might have a chance to go back to the past and see what happened at that time.

  Cheng Zihan had made up her mind, and just as she was about to get up, she found that her whole body was weak and powerless, and she didn't expect that using it once would consume so much of her physical strength.

  Cheng Zihan smiled wryly and then saw Mangcang hurriedly running over, looking at Cheng Zihan and asking: "Cheng Zihan, what have you done?"

  Cheng Zihan looked up at him with a puzzled expression, "I didn't do anything."

  Didn't she just use her time reversal ability once? And it seems like it should have failed, the time didn't reverse, it only let her see some scenes.

  "No, you must have done something. Just now when you used the reverse time, there were omens in heaven and earth, and the entrances to the ghost and demon realms actually loosened up. Quickly say, what did you do?" Mangcang heard this and shook his head, directly denying Cheng Zihan's words.

  "What?" Cheng Zihan was shocked by his words, and he didn't expect that just thinking about past events would bring such a huge shock.

  "I was just thinking about what happened before I reincarnated." Cheng Zihan said weakly, but she clearly saw that Mang Cang's face changed instantly after hearing this sentence.

  *Sigh* "Subei, you're being too hasty. Do you know that the things that happened to you in the past actually didn't belong to this timeline, but rather occurred in a parallel one? You used the Reverse Time Light technique to look at the events of the past in that parallel space, which is simply defying the heavens! Moreover, your current magical powers are already insufficient. Fortunately, you didn't really return to the past; if you had, I'm afraid you would have been done for. For now, the entrances to the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm are just slightly loose, not yet cracked open, so there's no need to worry temporarily. However, from now on, you absolutely cannot continue doing this! Otherwise, not only you but also your family and friends will be implicated, with consequences too terrible to contemplate!"

  Meng understood the feelings in Cheng Zihans heart and knew her obsession. The hatred of the past was too great, she could not let go, even if she were to live again, she would still be thinking about investigating what happened back then. Now that she finally had such an ability, it was natural for her to want to try going back to take a look.

  "Then can't I go back and see what happened in the first place?" Cheng Zihan heard this and felt somewhat down.

  Looking at her, he felt unbearable in his heart and sighed before saying: "It's not that it can't be done, it's just that it can't be done for the time being. If your Reverse Time Technique reaches the Mahayana realm, you'll be able to shuttle through time and space freely, go back to the place you want to go back to and see what happened in the first place."

  But before that, you can only stay quietly and cannot make any rash moves, or else it will implicate many people.

  Cheng Zihan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his gaze turned to Mangcang urgently, "Then, is there a way to make the Reverse Time Technique advance faster?"

  "Don't be impatient. A high-rise building starts from the ground, and cultivation must progress step by step, day by day. If you rush ahead, you'll only harm yourself. The reversal of time mainly relies on meditation, and when your spiritual power reaches a certain level, your reversal of time will naturally make progress. However, your willpower is too weak now, and it needs to be tempered. Starting from tomorrow, enter the Tree Spirit Space for two hours every day to cultivate your willpower."

  "Alright, I understand." Cheng Zihan nodded vigorously.

  No matter what, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she will never give up!

  It's not just her death that's suspicious, but Qin Kexiu's death is also full of doubts. Cheng Zihan always felt that Qin Kexiu's death wasn't so simple, as if someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

  Now that she knew Qin Ke's identity, she even suspected that Qin Hongwei, the beast, might have discovered that Qin Ke was not his biological son and, in a fit of rage, arranged for someone to deliberately kill him.

  It's too easy for the police to cover up the truth, as both she and Yi Tong were at the scene, and Yi Tong was also injured. It would be simple to frame Qin Ke Xiu with a crime. But who could have predicted that Qin Ke Xiu would definitely appear there and get out of the car to rescue Cheng Zi Han? Probably only someone who knows him best would understand his character and daily habits so clearly.

  It seems there are many conspiracies involved in this matter, and it's feared that investigating clearly won't be so simple.

  Because of the failure of the time reversal technique, Cheng Zihang rested for a while before leaving the Tree Spirit Space first.

  The house is very quiet, no one is there, and Cheng Zixi is also not around.

  Cheng Zihan looked around and felt that something was off. The furniture in the house seemed to be missing, and the TV was also gone.

  What happened? How could things have changed so much at home in just a few days after I left?

  Cheng Zihan walked out of the house in confusion and saw Han Yi guarding the door as soon as she stepped out.

  Han Yi saw Cheng Zihan, hurried over, looked at her back again, and asked: "Zihan, you're still at home, something's happened at your house, come with me quickly."

  Cheng Zihan nodded and hurriedly followed Han Yi's back.

  Two people soon arrived at the village committee office, where Cheng Hai, Li Lan, Lai Ying, Cheng Shihao, and Cheng Shan were all present. Cheng Zihan felt puzzled and walked in.

  Cheng Hai's face looked very unsightly. Cheng Zihan looked around, but didn't see Cheng Zixi. However, there was also no one else at home, and she felt a bit uneasy in her heart.

  "Dad, Mom, what's wrong?" Cheng Zihan asked in a low voice as he walked up to Cheng Hai's side.

  Cheng Hai lowered his head and looked at Cheng Zihan with a glance before saying in a low voice: "Zixi, Zixi is gone."

  Cheng Zihan's brain suddenly exploded with a loud bang.

  Chengzi Creek is gone?

  "What's going on?" Cheng Zihan thought for a moment, since the butterfly carrying Liang Shanbo's soul was still on Cheng Zixi's body, nothing should go wrong. He felt a bit more at ease now.

  "He's been missing for seven days." Cheng Hai's face was full of worry, as if he had been searching for a long time, his complexion somewhat tired. Li Lan was crying so hard that her eyes were red and swollen.

  "Big brother, could it be that Zixi himself ran to the riverbank to play and accidentally fell in?" Cheng Shan asked with some trepidation.

  Cheng Zihan gave him a cold stare, she felt that Cheng Shan's words were suspicious and probably not as simple as they seemed.

  She immediately used her mind-reading skills to read Cheng Shan's thoughts, and indeed discovered something! However, it was something that made her heart sink even further!

  Seven days ago, Cheng Ziming suddenly rushed back home in a fluster and told Cheng Shan that he had accidentally pushed Cheng Zixi into the pond.

  Cheng Shan was immediately panicked, but soon calmed down and asked Cheng Ziming if anyone had seen him at the time. Fortunately, when Cheng Ziming did this, there were no other people around, so no one saw his behavior. So Cheng Shan let him conceal this matter and immediately sent him back to school in the city, directly letting him board, trying to cover up this incident.

  Thinking of Cheng Shan's ruthlessness, he actually wants to let Cheng Zixi die! And that damn Cheng Ziming! This father and son are simply worse than beasts!

  Cheng Zihan glared fiercely at Cheng Shan, "If anything happens to my sister, I won't let you off! You just wait for the vengeful spirit to come and claim your life!"

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking and turned around to run out.

  Han Yi hastily followed her.

  Cheng Zihan ran all the way to the pond where Cheng Zixi had the accident, the pond was calm and peaceful, and it was impossible to tell that a major event involving human life had occurred there.

  Cheng Zihan didn't understand the water, thought for a moment, and then said to Qin Kexiu: "Qin Kexiu, Qin Kexiu, come out quickly and see if my sister is at the bottom of the pond."

  Qin Kesou floated out and immediately dove into the pond.

  Han Yi watched from the side, he didn't see Qin Kexiu, nor did he hear what Cheng Zihan said, he just looked at Cheng Zihan's anxious expression and felt that something was wrong in the pond.

  "Zi Han, what's wrong?" Standing beside Cheng Zi Han, Han Yi asked softly.

  "My sister was pushed into this pond by that beast Cheng Ziming seven days ago." Cheng Zihan said anxiously, glancing at Han Yi.

  Han Yi was shocked by what he heard and hastily ordered his two bodyguards to jump down and check.

  Then he thought for a moment and said to Cheng Zihan, "The water in this pond is very deep. I'm afraid we won't have any effect like this. Let's inform the adults to come and drain the water first, then take a look."

  Cheng Zihan thought what Han Yi said was reasonable, so she let him stay here to keep watch while she went back to the village committee to find someone.

  When Cheng Zihan finished speaking, Cheng Shan's face turned pale and he fell to the ground. But at this time, others didn't have time to pay attention to him, they quickly carried people and moved onto the village's only water pump, and hurriedly rushed to the pond behind the village.

  The water in the pond is very deep, and there is another connected pond next door. After setting up the pump, they started pumping water from this side to the other side.

  The villagers all rushed down to the water with nets to catch them.

  Everyone thought that after falling for seven days, it was definitely impossible to survive, and they only hoped that the body would not be eaten by fish, ending up with a dead body without a complete corpse.

  Two hours later, the water had been drained to a relatively low level, and now the water level was only up to an adult's waist. Everyone was constantly searching underwater, but nothing was found.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan also rushed down to help.

  Soon Qin Kexiu came up from the water bottom, covered in mud, but it seemed that there was no harvest.

  "Cheng Zihan, you need to be mentally prepared." Qin Kexiu glanced at Cheng Zihan with a hint of comfort and some reluctance.

  Cheng Zihan stumbled upon hearing this and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Han Yi stretched out his hand to support her.

  "No, it's impossible! I won't believe it! Zi Xi can't be dead! You're deceiving me!" Pointing at Qin Ke Xiu in mid-air, Cheng Zi Han burst into an agitated roar.

  Everyone looked over with a puzzled face when they heard Cheng Zihan's words, thinking that she was too heartbroken and had some kind of hallucination.

  Li Lan heard Cheng Zihan's words and fainted on the spot.

  "Cheng Zihan, calm down, I didn't sense any signs of life at the bottom of the pond. Your sister is probably...” Qin Kexiu looked at Cheng Zihan, trying to comfort her, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw Cheng Zihan staring at him in horror, looking over his shoulder. He felt a surge of doubt and quickly turned around, only to be startled himself.

  At this time, the villagers who were originally going down to the pond to salvage the bodies all shouted and ran up from the pond. For a while, the terrified cries echoed endlessly.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the giant snake in front of her, and her heart completely cooled down...
