I Only Want to Lie Flat But Am Forced to Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 132 - 89: A Long Road Ahead, The Mortal Departs Easily_2

Chapter 132: Chapter 89: A Long Road Ahead, The Mortal Departs Easily_2

The disappearance of Princess Yan Ning will soon be noticed by the other Yin Ghosts in the Ghost King Mausoleum. If this coffin remains in place, it might lead the subordinates of the Ghost King, or even the Ghost King himself, to discover some clues through the coffin.

If the coffin indeed has the ability to transport objects back and forth as he speculated, it is likely that the Yin Ghosts from the Ghost King Mausoleum might use it to reach his shop.

Considering the coffin in the Funeral Shop has already been relieved of multiple layers of seals, and he has never dealt with advanced array restrictions, how can he fend off their visit?

At that time, he might be petting a cat, eating a candle, humming a song, and suddenly get raided by a group of Yin Soldiers passing through!

Who can he reason with then?

Carrying the coffin to a place twenty miles away from the Ghost King Mausoleum, Xu Qing found an inconspicuous tomb among a cluster of desolate graves.

Casually performing rites for the skeleton inside, he gained a negligible life skill. He then placed the Twin Coffin and buried it in the pit.

After dealing with the coffin, Xu Qing took out some Feng Shui Suppressing Objects and buried them around the empty pit, setting up a Yang Residence layout that was entirely opposite the Yin Residence.

Thus, this tomb has become a ’Haunted House’ in the eyes of Yin entities.

Returning to the tomb, sealing the entrance, Xu Qing pondered for a moment and still felt uneasy. Not minding the trouble, he immediately instructed the Puppet to dig a hidden chamber at the rear of the tomb.

He dug out the buried Twin Coffin, swapped its position again, then took out several jars of substances that restrained Yin evils, forming a pit trap in the main chamber of the tomb, without placing any spikes, only filling it with things like Celestial Mallow Water and Human Yellow.

At last, Xu Qing extracted a skeleton from the Box Garden and placed it in the main tomb chamber, making it look like someone had already opened the coffin lid and stolen something.

After finishing all this, he finally felt at ease entering the Twin Coffin.

Closing the coffin lid, Xu Qing looked up at the spacious coffin interior, deep in thought.

Earlier, when he took the Corpse Nourishing Pill for cultivation at the Funeral Shop, he inadvertently emitted concentrated Yin energy. However, when that Yin energy touched the coffin walls, an inexplicable attraction absorbed most of the pure Yin energy he released.

"Could it be that the characteristic of this coffin to move objects requires Yin energy to activate?"

Xu Qing’s heart stirred, and he immediately mobilized the Yin Spirit Qi within him, causing it to pour continuously into the coffin.

As the familiar suction arrived, the inscribed symbols inside the Twin Coffin flickered with a faint light. When all the symbols lit up, Xu Qing’s vision blurred, and the coffin lid in front of him transformed into a gray-white tomb.

After turning around, Xu Qing’s eyes shone. He saw that the Twin Coffin’s lid had returned to its original position.

Pushing open the heavy coffin lid, the long-awaited light fell upon him.

"Meow?"

In the Funeral Shop, Xuan Yu, who had waited for a long time, widened his eyes, his mouth slightly open, and his cat face filled with shock.

Since when did the Funeral Shop’s coffin become a wardrobe?

Moreover, it’s holding a wedding gown?

Looking up at the youth in a phoenix crown and wedding robe, Xuan Yu curiously asked:

"Is Xu Immortal Family getting married?"

"..."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He then looked down at the bright red wedding gown on him; despite his thick skin, he couldn’t withstand the reflection of this red silk.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I’m a grown man, who am I supposed to marry?"

"But the clothes Xu Immortal Family is wearing—I’ve seen such clothes before. Only daughters from wealthy families wear this when they get married."

"Do I look like a wealthy family’s daughter to you?"

"Hmm..." Xuan Yu approached Xu Qing, stretched out his front paw, and tentatively tugged at the hem of the dress trailing on the ground.

He looked up at Xu Qing and said, "In the past, I grew up accompanying an official’s daughter. After she wore this attire, she married far, far away to a place where it’s spring all year round, never snowing."

"I didn’t follow her there. Since then, I’ve never seen her again."

"Although Xu Immortal Family isn’t a daughter from a wealthy family, I heard that when men marry into another family, it’s also considered getting married.

Will Xu Immortal Family also marry far, far away?"

"..."

Xu Qing looked down at the serious-faced cat, feeling somewhat dazed.

Xuan Yu’s tone was calm from beginning to end. It seemed that, in the eyes of immortals, all the people they encounter are mere fleeting visitors. Over time, even when acquaintances leave, it becomes routine.

"If I were to journey far away, what would Profound Jade Immortal Family think?" Xu Qing asked curiously.

Xuan Yu, hearing this, blinked and replied, "Xu Immortal Family isn’t an ordinary person. I presume you can live a long time. We will always meet again one day."

"Haven’t you ever thought about traveling the world with me, going to the ends of the earth on adventures?"

"The world outside is too vast. I’ve seen it once before, then returned to the Jin Sect, never having the desire to go out again."

"With Qing Qing’s profound magical powers, how could she suffer outside?"

Xu Qing felt there was a big secret in the little cat before him. His eyes brightened instinctively, trying to coax Xuan Yu into revealing his past experiences. freēnovelkiss.com

"..." Xuan Yu looked up at the inquisitive youth, feeling a bit regretful, "People make mistakes, horses slip and even cats do too. Born with nine lives, I never suffered damage in the Jin Sect, but once outside, I lost one of my lives."

The outside world is too dangerous. Xu Immortal Family, it’s better not to travel lightly."

Unable to resist, Xu Qing asked, "You being an immortal with profound skills, what kind of circumstances caused you to lose a life?"

"Does Xu Immortal Family intend to seek justice for me?"

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Qing nodded.

"If possible, I will ensure those who wronged Profound Jade Immortal Family will die before me."

In Xu Qing’s view, as long as he lives long enough, he can outlast Xuan Yu’s enemies.

Xuan Yu seemingly didn’t catch the undertone of Xu Qing’s words. He was deeply moved, "In that case, I definitely can’t tell Xu Immortal Family. They are formidable; Xu Immortal Family going against them might end up like me, losing a life."

"..."

Xu Qing was left speechless. How many lives does he have left? Just half a life.

Seeing this, Xu Qing didn’t continue his inquiry. As Xuan Yu mentioned, his skills were still too shallow. If Xuan Yu was unwilling to speak about these matters, let time take care of it.

Both Xuan Yu and he belong to the types who can survive long. After a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years, who knows, those enemies might have already turned to dust.

He’s well-versed in the Acupoint Divination Skill and possesses the Corpse-Seeking Spell and Purple Star Astrology. By then, he’s confident he’ll find the enemies’ remains.

Alive, he wouldn’t dare confront them; dead, he could manipulate them at will.

"Why is Xu Immortal Family laughing?" Xuan Yu, seeing Xu Qing’s sinister smile, felt that his expression was more frightening than the enemies who once sought his life.

"I don’t laugh at others; I solely laugh at those who wronged me, fools who hurt you. If I were your enemy, I’d pursue you across vast distances, just to cut the grass at the root, leaving no troubles behind."

Xuan Yu’s breath halted, suddenly feeling a chilly sensation from his feet, rising straight to his head.

"Xu Immortal Family, please don’t joke like that."

Xuan Yu’s smooth fur ruffled unconsciously. He glanced at the closed doors of the Funeral Shop before relaxing.

Fortunately, he now has established a hall with help from other immortals serving as ears and eyes, and he has Xu Immortal Family by his side, so I think there shouldn’t be any surprises.

Relaxing, Xuan Yu sat down, his tail curled around his front paws.

"Speaking of which, Xu Immortal Family stayed in the coffin for quite a long time..."

Xuan Yu’s remark was accurate. Before closing the coffin, Xu Qing had promised to be out within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, but it had taken him three sticks’ worth instead.

Humans may try to keep track of time, but often they aren’t punctual.

They aren’t faster; they tend to lag much longer.

This was a lesson Xuan Yu had learned over the years of dealing with humans.

Once, an official’s daughter who bonded with him before getting into the wedding sedan, promised that she would return soon to visit him.

In the end, he waited for many years until even ordinary people couldn’t live that long, feeling lost before leaving.

Another time, the shopkeeper’s son said he would join the military. Before leaving, he made a vow to return after three years.

Unfortunately, three years later, Xuan Yu waited for a long time at the shop but never saw him.

Years later, an official brought a blood-stained farewell letter and some death compensation money.

Just then, Xu Qing turned around, carrying Lu Ping’s body, not noticing Xuan Yu’s moment of melancholy.

In his eyes, Xuan Yu seemed unafraid of the passage of time, which was precisely his goal. As for how he would recall today’s memories, that remains unknown.

"Xuan Yu, this is a gift for you. From now on, she will be your Galloping Immortal Disciple. You can give her a formidable and imposing name. How about calling her Sun Erniang...?"
