After killing Jiang Qianqian.
Jiang Chen asked everyone whether they had found anything else on the mountain besides this female ghost, such as child ghosts.
Unfortunately, they all shook their heads.
His brows furrowed, and a thoughtful look crossed his face.
During the fight, he had pressed Jiang Qianqian for answers several times, but whenever she heard the word "child," she would go berserk, as though it were some kind of taboo.
"Her condition was similar to Coffin Maker Old Tian's."
"Could I have been wrong before? Does the so-called Corpse-Born Child refer to someone other than the Ghost Bride?"

He recalled Lao Tian's words again.
A Corpse-Born Child, a ghost breaking out of a grave... a blood-red woman, a bride
