After Sanna walked out of the living room, she raised her hand to touch her swollen cheek. A dark glint flashed across her eyes. Then she turned around and walked to the other side.

Sanna knew that ever since her parents cooperated with an international organization and turned their village into a research base, their village had entered its most glorious period.

She didn’t care if the organization needed a lot of living humans for their research. Other than the natives in the village, it wouldn’t hurt even if everyone in the world died.

On the way, everyone stopped and called her Second Miss respectfully when they saw her.

She was used to these greetings and did not even bother responding.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, she arrived at a courtyard that was even more exquisite than other places.

She pushed open the door and saw a large garden.

The garden was planted with orchids, which was her sister’s favorite flower. At this moment, the flowers were blooming beautifully, and the gorgeous color was dazzling.

In the pavilion on the left side of the courtyard, a girl who looked very similar to her but was much weaker than her was sitting there reading a book.

Sanna looked at the girl. They were twins and looked similar, but in other ways they were different.

Her sister, Gina, should have died when she was five years old. It was her mother who used witchcraft to keep her alive, but even if she was saved, her body was deteriorating day by day.

Sanna disdained such a weak sister, but because her mother liked her, she had to act like they were close.

“Sister.”

When Gina saw her sister walking towards her, she put down the book in her hand and smiled warmly.

“Sanna, you are here really early today.”

Other than her sister, no one else came to see her, but Gina was already very satisfied.

Sanna walked to Gina and sat down. She hugged her arm and leaned her head on her shoulder, saying, “Sister, Father and Mother are entertaining guests again. I don’t like to socialize with them, so I came to find some peace and quiet in your place.”

Gina smiled and touched her head. “Sorry that you have to go through this alone. If I’m healthy, I can help you share some of the burden.”

Hearing that, Sanna sneered in her heart. “Luckily, you’re not in good health. I will be the one to take Mother’s place, and I won’t allow you to compete with me.”

She said, “One day, I’ll find a way to cure you.”

At this point, Sanna suddenly thought of something. Looking up at her sister, she said, “Sister, some people from the Imperial Capital snuck into our village. These people are said to be very vicious. Be careful.”

Gina paled and shuddered.

Sanna looked at her sister’s reaction in satisfaction and comforted her, “But don’t worry, Sister. I will protect you and once I find them, I will finish them off.”

Gina was still a little worried. “Don’t underestimate your enemy, sister.”

“I know.”

…

While Tang Li and Qi Yihan were waiting for the paper crane to fly back, they planned to walk around this courtyard.

The courtyard was large. There was a rock garden and a banana forest. To the left of the well was a row of bamboo buildings. All the doors were closed.

The two of them walked over and pushed open the door in the middle. When the door opened, dust blew into their faces.

In the middle was the hall. There was no furniture inside, but there were four copper nails as thick as an arm in the four corners.

Tang Li walked to the copper nail and looked at it for a while before frowning.

When the two of them walked in, Mo Chen followed suit.

He took a look and clicked his tongue. “As expected, some of you humans are even more ruthless than the people of our Demon World. They are even trying to turn souls into malicious ghosts.”

Qi Yihan looked at Tang Li.

Tang Li nodded at him. “That’s right. These are Soul Locking Spikes. They are cast with a spell that can slowly turn souls into malicious ghosts.”

“In that case, are there ghosts inside the well?”

“No, those are still incomplete.”

Tang Li glanced at the four nails and said, “The malicious ghosts should be with the witch. There are no malicious ghosts in this courtyard.”

The two of them looked at the other rooms casually.

There were also Soul Locking Spikes in those rooms.

Tang Li frowned.

When she and Qi Yihan walked out of the rooms, the paper crane came back.

One of the paper cranes found Yuan Yuan’s soul.

Looking at the girl who was reading, Qi Yihan said, “This person must have a high status in this village.”

“How did you know?” Tang Li and Mo Chen looked at him at the same time.

Qi Yihan pointed at the orchids beside her. “These orchids are very rare. Each one costs more than ten thousand, and there are a whole garden of them. Also, the gemstone necklace on her neck was worn by the 18th century empress.”

Tang Li was silent for a moment. Although she did not know how much the necklace was worth, someone who could afford such a necklace must be important.

“She must be the daughter of the chief,” Qi Yihan added. “The chief of this village used to be the leader of the ship industry in the Yangtze River. Then he came later and married a witch.”

Tang Li did not expect Qi Yihan to know this. She was about to say that he was amazing.

At this moment, Mo Chen’s voice was heard. “Who cares who they are? I’ll kidnap that girl here, and then you can take the soul out of her. After that, we can return happily.”

With that, he disappeared.

Tang Li looked at where Mo Chen was standing and frowned.

Qi Yihan frowned as well. “He’s definitely going to alert the enemy by bringing the girl here. We haven’t found the one who cast the restriction spell on her yet.”

“Yes.” Tang Li thought for a moment. She grabbed his wrist and said, “Later, we’ll find a person in the village who looks similar to you. Take on that person’s appearance and hide. If anything happens, tell me with a voice transmission talisman.”

“Okay.” Qi Yihan nodded.

The two of them turned invisible and left the courtyard.

Soon, they saw a team patrolling. Qi Yihan pointed at a person who looked similar to him and said to Tang Li, “Li, make me look like that person.”

Tang Li nodded and snapped her fingers at the air. The patrol stopped there.

The two of them walked over. Qi Yihan carried that person to a corner and changed into his clothes. Then, he walked into the group of people. Tang Li helped Qi Yihan take on his appearance. She then gave him the Kylin Jade. “Bring the Kylins. If anything happens, they will take you out of the village.”
