Wandering Gods of Day and Night

Yuan Qing reached out her hand and pointed in the direction of the villa, speaking.

"I truly don't know why Mo Tingsheng and the others suddenly initiated the destruction plan…"

"Mrs. Yu, what's the point of saying any more? Go upstairs, unless you want me to escort you up."

Yuan Qing stared into Jing Deng's eyes and spoke in a tone that was half-caution and half-threat.

"Sigh."

Jing Deng let out a sigh and went to the second floor of the villa. Inside a cramped room, they knelt before two coffins.

"Miss, Jing Deng has failed in their duties."

"Jing Deng, you should know what Nine Miles Villa is," the lady inside the coffin said slowly.

"I know—it's Mingjiang Prefecture sixty years in the future."

Jing Deng was naturally aware of the nature of Nine Miles Villa.

If the current Mingjiang Prefecture, about to be submerged by floodwaters, is the present-day Mingjiang Prefecture,

then Nine Miles Villa is the Mingjiang Prefecture of the future.

"The present impacts the future. If the current Mingjiang Prefecture is destroyed, the future Mingjiang Prefecture naturally won't exist,

and today's Nine Miles Villa, like the fate of Mingjiang Prefecture in reality, is teetering on the brink."

"Miss, I'm sorry. Mo Tingsheng is like a mad dog—he violated our agreement and initiated the destruction plan for Mingjiang Prefecture without waiting for you to leave Nine Miles Villa,

Miss, I came specifically to carry you away… Nine Miles Villa is going to be destroyed, I'll help you escape."

"Where will you take me?"

"To the real Mingjiang Prefecture."

"If my second brother and I set foot in Mingjiang Prefecture as we are now, the surveillance artifacts of Mingjiang Prefecture will be triggered. Wouldn't that be the same as announcing to all of Jing Country that Star Covering has returned?"

The lady in the coffin is none other than the Alien Ghost "Star Covering," who should have died long ago.

Star Covering and her brother dare not set foot in the real world because their presence in Jing Country's reality would awaken the Nuo God.

"Miss, then we'll go further into the future."

"Ha, two hundred years ago, I tricked 'Xiang and Fire' once. Now you want me to trick him a second time?"

Jing Country's time-space world is under the guardianship of the incense fire Taoists,

and Star Covering is well aware of the heights reached by the incense fire Taoists.

"Then… then… where else can we go?"

Jing Deng seemed at a loss.

"Jing Deng, you've been with me for many years, and I trust you, but when it comes to being disappointing, you never fail to disappoint."

Star Covering began to admonish Jing Deng for her recent failures: "The altar built for the six sons of Ancestor Dragon has been shattered; the Blood Well Society I assigned you to oversee is now entirely controlled by Zhou Xuan; and the Kidnapper Hall I asked you to monitor—you failed to keep an eye on it,

I gave you a second life, and this is how you repay me?"

"Miss! Miss!" Jing Deng began to sense that something was very wrong and tried to plead.

But Star Covering, still in the coffin, merely twitched her finger. A flame detached itself from its wick in the room, piercing Jing Deng's brow.

"Miss…"

"My second brother and I have nowhere to go. We can only save Mingjiang, and only by saving Mingjiang can we save ourselves,

Jing Deng, I have affection for you, and now I don't expect you to repay me for saving your life—use your life as a fog eye to save Mingjiang."

As soon as Star Covering finished speaking, the flame embedded in Jing Deng's brow flew out. But at its tail, Jing Deng's right eye hung suspended,

the right eye staring at Jing Deng's body, which melted like a candle.

The right eye absorbed the energy from Jing Deng's melting form, turning completely white.

At this moment, the maid Yuan Qing stepped into the room.

"Nanny Yuan, take the fog eye and save Mingjiang Prefecture."

"Yes, Miss."

Yuan Qing cautiously cradled the fog eye, stepped forward, and disappeared from the room.

After she left,

a furious voice erupted from the other coffin: "I've told you long ago, Jing Deng is unreliable—she couldn't even keep an eye on the kidnappers!"

"Second Brother, with Nanny Yuan and Jing Deng able to come and go freely at Nine Miles Villa, Nanny Yuan has seven sticks of incense. If she entered Mingjiang Prefecture, it would trigger the surveillance artifacts, so we could only rely on Jing Deng—we had no other option."

Jing Deng was once a Blood Well Spirit Communicator. During her madness, she jumped into the Blood Well, and upon emerging, she became three people:

her past self, her present self, and her future self.

It is the 'future Jing Deng' who serves Star Covering, and because she comes from the future, she can enter the future world—Nine Miles Villa—without relying on the laws of time.

To Star Covering, Jing Deng was nearly the perfect human walker… her incense power was weak, allowing her to freely traverse between the future world and the real world, and she was obedient,

but…

Star Covering sighed again: "In truth, it's not entirely Jing Deng's fault for being weak. The real blame lies with that Zhou Xuan—he's too cursed,

Second Brother, I just hope this fog eye can save Mingjiang Prefecture."

...

Mingjiang Prefecture's Lu Family Mountain, located on the fringes of Mingjiang Prefecture, has a sunny side that is monitored by Mingjiang's surveillance artifacts,

while its shadowed side lies beyond their reach.

Mingjiang's surveillance artifacts will issue a warning to Miyang Jiang You Shen Company if any disciples with more than six sticks of incense enter Mingjiang Prefecture.

With seven sticks of incense, Yuan Qing naturally couldn't step into Mingjiang's surveillance circle.

At this moment, she held the fog eye in both hands and blew gently in the direction of Mingjiang Prefecture.

Whoosh!

The snow-white fog eye seemed weightless, drifting into Mingjiang Prefecture and floating swiftly toward Flood Peak.

...

"The Taiping Monk wasn't lying—'Xiang and Fire' really appeared, bringing Zhou Xuan, who was on the verge of death, back to normal."
