Three times married to Yama

"Lan Yin, are you not ready yet?"

Aunt Hui was urging me again. I figured it was about time, so I came out of the bathroom.

I said to her apologetically, "I'm sorry, Aunt Hui, for asking someone who's menopausal to go and buy sanitary napkins for me."

Aunt Hui: "...It's nothing. We're all women. I used to be like you. Besides, it was your junior uncle who bought the sanitary napkins."

"Huh? Junior Uncle went?" I was very surprised.

Aunt Hui didn't say much, but urged me to hurry back to the private room to continue eating. I nodded and went back to the private room with her.

My junior uncle was standing at the door smoking. When he saw us come back, he put out his cigarette and opened the door to the private room.

"You're finally back. The food's almost cold. Lan Yin, how are you feeling?" Junior Uncle asked.

"I'm fine, it's just a normal period," I replied frankly.

Upon entering the private room, Xia Zheng was enjoying his meal alone. When he saw us return, he quickly invited us to sit down, acting as if he were the one who was treating us to dinner that night.

After I sat down, I continued eating. At that moment, Xia Zheng, who was sitting next to my junior uncle, picked up the drink next to him and took a sip.

Seeing this, I continued eating my food slowly, without any change in my expression.

During this time, neither my junior uncle nor Aunt Hui mentioned my father or the Hundred Ghosts Record, probably because they were afraid I would overthink it.

As the meal drew to a close, Aunt Hui finally spoke.

"Lan Yin, can you forgive Aunt Hui for what happened before?"

I looked innocently at Aunt Hui. "Didn't Aunt Hui say that what happened in Changyue Village wasn't your fault? How can you talk about forgiveness?"

As I spoke, I picked up the drink beside me and said with emotion, "You, my junior uncle, and my father are as close as brothers, so you are naturally my family as well."

"As a junior, I'd like to offer a beverage in lieu of wine to Aunt Hui and Junior Uncle. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, you will hold the same place in my heart as my father. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect!"

After saying that, I drank the beverage in my cup in one gulp.

Junior Uncle and Aunt Hui exchanged a glance, then picked up their cups and downed their drinks in one gulp.

"I knew Lan Yin was a good girl with a strong sense of justice. She definitely wouldn't misunderstand you, Senior Sister," Junior Uncle said with great emotion.

"Yes, what a good child." Aunt Hui looked at me with a kind smile, as if those unpleasant things had never happened, and as if she wasn't the one who wanted to kill me.

We were all staying at the same hotel, so the four of us went back together. I casually asked them which floor they were staying on before returning to my room.

Xia Zheng's room is right next to mine. He was sitting on my sofa, looking at me with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Master, what did you tell me to put in their cups?" Xia Zheng asked, extremely curious.

I was removing my makeup at that moment, and looking at myself in the mirror after removing my makeup, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

At that moment, I was wearing a white dress that reached my ankles, with long, straight black hair cascading down my back. My face was pale, with large black eyes and bloodless lips, making me look ghostly and sickly.

I turned around and startled Xia Zheng. "Master, you look like a female ghost!"

Me, "..." Never mind, I'm used to it; fear is human nature.

"I told you to administer a Spirit-Dispersing Liquid, a single drop of which can seal a cultivator's spiritual power for seven days. How many drops did you give them?"

Xia Zheng immediately replied, "One drop. I originally wanted to pour the whole bottle down, but you said one drop was enough, so I strictly followed your instructions, Master."

Although Xia Zheng is not very smart, he is quite obedient. One drop each for his junior uncle and Aunt Hui is enough; any more would be a waste.

Moreover, this Spirit Dispersing Liquid is very troublesome to make, and the materials are very expensive.

I can't bear to give them too much.

I said to Xia Zheng, "You did a great job. I'll give you a bonus when we get back."

I checked the time on my phone; it was almost midnight. The drug should have started taking effect by now.

"Come on, let's tie someone up," I said to Xia Zheng.

A flurry of question marks exploded in Xia Zheng's mind like fireworks. "Huh? Master, kidnapping someone? Isn't that illegal?"

Despite saying that, Xia Zheng immediately followed behind me.

I went straight to the floor where Junior Uncle and Aunt Hui lived. They lived next door, and I rang Junior Uncle's doorbell first.

"Who is it?" The door was quickly opened, revealing half of the junior uncle's body.

I smiled slightly at him, "It's me, Junior Uncle. I need to talk to you about something."

As I spoke, I gently pushed the door open. My junior uncle must have just finished showering, as he was still wearing a bathrobe.

At this moment, he probably hadn't realized that his spiritual power was sealed, and he would only discover it when he used it. So when he saw me looking for him, he was quite friendly.

"What do you want to say to Junior Uncle so late at night?" Junior Uncle asked.

I didn't answer him, but slowly strolled into his room. I stood by the window, looking at the still dazzling neon lights outside.

Xia Zheng, who came with me, immediately locked the door after entering the room.

My junior uncle finally realized that something was amiss with my actions.

He frowned at me. "Lan Yin, did you come to see Junior Uncle about something important? Why did your friend lock the door?"

I turned to my junior uncle and said with a smile, "Of course, I'm afraid you'll run away, junior uncle."
