I covered my leg and dragged Wanwan out from under the table, squinting at it as I said, "Want to eat secret-recipe ribs?"

When Wanwan nodded frantically, I roared, "No way!"

Wanwan jumped up to bite me, but I grabbed its front paws and lifted it up. "Hahaha... you little mutt, trying to bite me? Can't reach, can you! I'll make secret-recipe ribs later, and make you drool with envy."

Wang the Butcher and Feng Ruoxing covered their faces and said together, "I want to change hall masters."

Lin Zhao also covered his face: "Our hall master is finished. He's reached the point of arguing with puppies. What about your image!"

Ye Yang glanced at me and pointed to the door: "Everyone out, don't catch his crazy. Even Yun Shang won't be able to cure you."

Ye Yang's cats lined up and walked away with disgusted looks on their faces.

Ling quickly took the puppy back and coughed twice. "Let's talk about Su Su's matter first!"

Ling said, "There are only two ways to make a Qi Luck Ghost God work for you. One is like the Reincarnation Department, refining her into a Qi Luck spiritual treasure. The other is to make her willingly serve you, which means winning her over with emotions."

"The last person who sealed Su Su was already using the first method."

"Marriage is also a part of fate, and a very important part."

"Su Su is not some kind of Old Man of the Moon. After her memory was tampered with, she stubbornly regarded herself as the Old Man of the Moon. In fact, she was changing other people's Qi Luck."

I couldn't help but ask: "Are you saying that what Su Su showed us wasn't the thread of fate, but the thread of Qi Luck?"

"Not entirely!" Ling thought for a moment and said, "Su Su's methods are similar to the Old Man of the Moon's. The Old Man of the Moon is also changing people's fate through the thread of fate."

"The Old Man of the Moon acts according to the arrangements of the Heavenly Dao, simply promoting fate."

"Su Su, however, is tampering with it."

I couldn't help but gasp. "Doesn't that mean Su Su can change fate?"

"Change luck!" Ling corrected. "Changing fate and changing luck are two different things."

I muttered to myself, "Changing luck is already amazing!"

In the eyes of術道 (Shu Dao – arts and Dao), fate and luck are separate but connected.

Although fate comes before luck, sometimes luck can affect fate in reverse.

Even if the heavens give someone the fate of a True Dragon Son of Heaven, but don't give him luck, he may still be poor all his life.

If my dad could have met a Qi Luck Ghost God back then, we wouldn't have been unlucky enough to encounter a blood moon at the critical moment of changing fate.

My dad was a top術士 (Shu Shi – adept), but no matter how powerful a術士 (Shu Shi – adept) is, it's impossible to accurately predict that there will be a blood moon on a certain day more than ten years later.

The fate-changing formation my dad made for me had been going on for more than ten years, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. As a result, it ran into a blood moon at the critical moment.

If this isn't due to luck, then what is?

At this moment, I wanted to keep Su Su.

Ling said, "Ghost Gods themselves also have Qi Luck. Su Su has interfered with people's marriages time and time again, but they never succeed. This will more or less generate negative emotions in her, which in turn will affect her own Qi Luck."

"If Su Su didn't have a big heart, she might have been tamed by the other party long ago."

I narrowed my eyes and said, "Is the person who sealed her the Yi Tian Qi Zhu?"

Ling shook his head: "Both Cang Tianji and I have tracked the Yi Tian Qi Zhu. So far, we haven't found out his exact purpose."

"Looking for the Emperor may only be part of his mission."

"The Yi Tian Qi Zhu has even bigger plans."

Ling pondered, "I have a feeling that there seems to be a game going on between the Yi Tian Qi Zhu and the Jiu Guan Dao Ren that has lasted for hundreds of years."

"The Yi Tian Qi Zhu makes frequent moves, while the Jiu Guan Dao Ren seems to be passively defending, but is actually consuming the Yi Tian Qi Zhu's strength."

"Forget it, this is just my guess, let's talk about Su Su!"

Ling said, "Su Su provoked the Hei Ye Xiao in the Two Realms Hall and was cursed by him. As a result, the Hei Ye Xiao's curse was rebounded by Qi Luck, which is how we discovered Su Su's secret."

"At that time, the Hei Ye Xiao made a deal with Su Su."

"He would help Su Su解除 (jiechu – remove) the seal on her, and Su Su would stay in the Two Realms Hall to鎮壓 (zhenya – suppress) a door of Qi Luck."

"As a result, as soon as we took action, Su Su's aura leaked out, and she was found by the Reincarnation Department."

"The Hei Ye Xiao was almost backfired by witchcraft because of this." Ling said here, and added: "If Su Su hadn't helped the Hei Ye Xiao reverse his Qi Luck in time, he would have been wiped out."

That guy Lao Hei is like this, he does things silently, and doesn't let anyone know even if he risks his life.

This guy always silently guards the Two Realms Hall.

When I looked at the Hei Ye Xiao, the latter said expressionlessly: "Actually, I also want to change hall masters. I hope Su Su can fix your brain!"

"Tch! Listen to that, is that human speech?" I rolled my eyes at the Hei Ye Xiao's words: "Still saying I infected the Two Realms Hall? I think they've all been infected by Ye Yang. When they don't speak, they seem like humans, but when they do speak, not a single word is human."

Xia Mengying added for me: "The normal saying should be:汝闻，此乃人言乎 (Ru wen, ci nai ren yan hu)?" (Have you heard? Is this human speech?)
