An Yan asked curiously from the side, "Ying’er, what’s wrong?"
"Ah, it’s nothing! Maybe... maybe I saw it wrong!" Although she said this, Hu Ying’s face was still filled with extreme peculiarity.
At this moment, Wei Qingxiao also stepped into the courtyard. When she saw Wei Haocang sprawled on the ground like a servant, gleefully playing hide-and-seek with two little girls, her eyelid couldn’t help but twitch slightly.
No matter what, Wei Haocang was the eldest young master of the Wei Family—a distinguished aristocrat even in the Ghost Realm.
Yet now, he was rolling around in the dirt, covered in dust and completely engrossed.
If outsiders saw this scene, their jaws would probably hit the floor.
If anyone else dared to treat her younger brother like that in the past, Wei Qingxiao would have flown into a rage, killing them without hesitation. But now, she could only pretend not to notice.
This was because Xue An had stated clearly: if she wanted to cure Wei Haocang’s illness, she had to trust and cooperate with him unconditionally, without the slightest defiance.
So despite her discomfort, Wei Qingxiao could only swallow her pride and accept it.
However, when she noticed the sudden appearance of An Yan in the courtyard, she couldn’t help but be startled. A flash of admiration even flickered in her eyes.
Wei Qingxiao had always been confident in her appearance. Ever since she grew up, she’d been repeatedly hailed as the most beautiful woman in the Ghost Realm.
But today, upon seeing An Yan standing gracefully to the side, chatting cheerfully with Xue An...
Her self-assurance crumbled completely.
In terms of both looks and temperament, An Yan overwhelmingly outshone her.
Especially when she stood beside Xue An, the two seemed like celestial bodies suspended in the sky, radiating brilliance that eclipsed everything else.
Though they stood there simply, they commanded the aura of rulers over this small courtyard, relegating everyone else to the background.
Such an extraordinary presence naturally left Wei Qingxiao in awe, unable to feel the slightest competitive urge.
Sometimes, beauty reaches such an extreme that it awakens neither jealousy nor rivalry, only admiration.
While Wei Qingxiao was still dazed, Xue An smiled faintly at her.
"You’re here?"
"Uh... yes!"
"How’s it? Isn’t your brother doing much better than before?" Xue An pointed at Wei Haocang, who was dirtied from head to toe but enjoying himself immensely, and spoke lightly.
Wei Qingxiao scrutinized him intently for a long time but honestly couldn’t see any improvement. Instead, she thought he looked even dirtier than before.
"Cang’er?" Wei Qingxiao couldn’t help but call out.
Wei Haocang glanced back at her. If it were in the past, he would have run to her immediately. Yet this time, he only spared her a glance before burying his head back into the game of hide-and-seek with the two little girls.
Seeing this, Wei Qingxiao suddenly felt an emptiness inside, as if a flower she’d nurtured all her life had been taken away, pot and all.
"You know, there’s a saying where I come from: Ever since going mad, life has been much livelier! Your brother is exactly in this state now, at least better than the gloomy stick-in-the-mud he used to be, isn’t it?" Xue An commented casually.
Hearing this, Wei Qingxiao, half comprehending, nodded lightly.
Just then, Hu Ying, standing off to the side, couldn’t hold back any longer. Watching Xue An spout nonsense with a straight face, she burst out laughing.
Wei Qingxiao frowned slightly and turned toward the sound, finally noticing Hu Ying. At first, she didn’t think much of it. But as she looked closer, she froze, her face showing astonishment.
"Hu... fox demon? Fox spirit?"
Hu Ying, who had been full of laughter, instantly darkened at those words. "Fox spirit? Your whole family are fox spirits! This old lady happens to be a Heavenly Fox—do you understand, a *Heavenly Fox*?"
Wei Qingxiao was stunned.
As someone born into the elite of the Ghost Realm, she naturally knew the Multiverse was teeming with species and powerful beings.
The Demon Race was undeniably one of the major forces.
