CH 109.1

By the eighth empty coffin, the soldiers had grown more courageous.

The first eight were empty, so what should they be afraid of?

The last one must be empty too.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready to open the coffin, Bai Lixin reminded them, “Slow down, don’t be in such a rush.”

The soldier said, “Don’t worry, Madam. It’s empty, I’m not scared!”

The coffin was opened and the soldier’s voice stopped abruptly.

‘I’m scared. I’m so scared!

Shit, why is there one here?

Why was this coffin not acting according to common sense?’

The soldiers stared at the corpse in the coffin. After years of decomposition, its original state could no longer be seen.

She was still wearing a dark robe, her hair had fallen out and dried up along with her rotting scalp, and her skin had long since festered into a puddle of rotten flesh.

A stench of carrion emanated from the corpse. The stench was so pungent and choking that many people felt nauseous.

Inside the coffin was one unexpected item.

Beside the corpse of Madam Li were a patchwork of black and red fox fur.

On Madam Li’s rotting forehead was a yellow talisman.

Years had passed and the yellow talisman had faded somewhat, but the vermilion red on it was strikingly bright and it stood out in the fading colour of the coffin.

One soldier gulped and stumbled back two steps, “Why… why is there a talisman on the corpse? Is it evil?”

Bai Lixin stared at the symbol on the yellow talisman for a second before scouring through his memories and going through Taoist books on demon elimination before finally pinpointing the symbol.

This is supposed to “lock in the double” of Si, letting others think that this particular person.

In addition, with the coloured fox fur by her side, one had to make a reasonable assumption.

“I guess that after Madam Li’s death back then, Lord Li knew that the fox demon had come to take revenge for the tragic way she died.”

“In order to save his own life, Lord Li used the dead Madam Li as his substitute.”

“Letting her, who is already dead, help protect himself from disaster.”

“This fox fur and the talisman on her head are evidence of that.”

The soldiers were simply shocked. One of them dropped his shovel on the ground and said angrily, “How bad was Lord Li? Didn’t his wife die because of him? The two of them were a bad couple, but even if there was no love left, there should still be affection as family.”

“He didn’t even let her go after she died? I can’t even think of such a thing.”

Bai Lixin mused, “Isn’t it because we’re not smart enough?”

“Rather, the ethics of kindness limit our imagination.”

“You should be glad that you didn’t think of such a thing.”

The six soldiers looked at each other and almost felt like crying.

“What a wonderful person! How did you end up with Lord Li?”

“Madam’s life is too hard. He was sold to a small brothel when he was a child, and sold to a eunuch when he grew up, and yet he could still maintain such a kind-heart. Madam is awesome.”

“Lord Li is not worthy of you, madam. No one in the world is worthy of you.”

“Why in the world is there such a gentle and kind person as Madam? He’s so good.”

“Lord Li, that waste, why did he have to get his clutches on the madam, that *turtle’s grandson.”

“Ahem, be quiet,” a soldier whispered, “Lord Li is the Lord Governor’s adoptive father. You are calling him a turtle’s son…”

Several soldiers froze on the spot, and they carefully peeked at Dijia, who was standing aside, and found that he looked gloomy.

“If there is anyone worthy of the madam in this world, it must be our Lord Governor.”

“Hahaha, that’s right. The power and strength of the Lord Governor are matched with the intelligence and kindness of the wife. What does this match mean?!”

“Fortunately, the Governor came back in time, and the madam was rescued from the pain.”

“What else could it be except a match made in heaven and destined from a previous life?”

“And the two of you are such a good couple. When will we get the chance to drink your wedding wine?”

Dijia in the distance became happier and happier, and even his expressionless and cold face softened a lot.

Bai Lixin: “….”

These little mouths were like they were smearing honey. It seems that they usually flatter each other.

One soldier looked at the fox fur in the coffin: “Isn’t this fur from those fox cubs? Shouldn’t we take it out and find a place to bury it? They seem to be looking for the fur all the time, right?”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take out the fox fur, and as he did so, he muttered, “Those fox cubs are also pitiful. They were killed before they could even grow up. They are obviously so cute.”

Just as the fur came out of the coffin, a big slimy hand suddenly grabbed his wrist.

Rotting flesh and blood were clinging to the bones, and sharp, blackened nails snapped into the soldier’s wrist. The nails embedded themselves in the flesh, and with only the slightest pressure, they could pierce the skin and poke the flesh.

And Madam Li, who should have been lying in her coffin, suddenly sat. Her eyes under the talisman suddenly opened.

A pair of shrivelled eyes looked straight at the soldier without warning.

The eyeballs were shifting around in their sockets, as if they were going to fall from them in the next second.

She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of cold corpse breath. The mist was wrapped in the stench of decay, and her teeth immediately fell out of her mouth.

The soldier was so scared that he peed on himself.

His legs went weak and he fell next to the coffin. “Ahhh, help!!!”

Help!

Haven’t they already escaped from the painting? Were they in the painting or out of it now?

Fuck, what a day it had been.

He escaped death twice, came out of the paintings and dug up graves at night. When digging up graves, he ran into a fucking fraudulent corpse.

I wanted to be a soldier because the benefits were good, but I never said I’d be a soldier and deal with creatures of the underworld!

[Fuck, how thrilling!]

[In fear, this unfortunate child peed himself.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, when I about the first time I encountered a supernatural event, I was also scared into peeing on myself. But I’ve grown up now, I just tremble. 】

[I’ve been following God Xin for so long that I’ve forgotten what normal people’s reactions are when they see something scary.]

[Today will be an unforgettable day in that soldier’s life.]

————————

Madam Li’s corpse had a death grip on the soldier’s wrist, and her eyes kept falling on the fox fur in his hand.

One soldier saw this and advised him to throw the fox fur away.

The soldier froze for a moment and cried even more. “I can’t. She’s clutching my hand so hard that I can’t let go.”

As the two men spoke, a cold light descended from the sky, and Madam Li’s was directly split like withered wood.

The pressure on the soldier’s hand relaxed and he fell back. With the sudden release, the fur in his hand flew into the sky, making a nice arc in the air and smoothly landing in someone’s hand.

The man was holding a sharp dagger in one hand and the fox fur as crystal tears fell from his eyes, “Oooh, how horrible.”

The system prompt was still flashing in my mind, [Please respect the character settings, you should be crying. The countdown will start…]

Crowd: “….”

But, Madam, you are crying the hardest, yet you were the one who ruthlessly cut the hand just now.

Madam Li’s fox fur was gone, and she roared. She turned her head towards Bai Lixin and was about to climb out of the coffin, but because of the rope wrapped around her feet, she could only jump out of the coffin and attack Bai Lixin at once.

Several people looked terrified and looked at Dijia in unison.

But Dijia was leaning against a tree lazily, his arms crossed over his chest as he just watched.

The soldiers looked at each other in confusion.

—Didn’t you say that the Governor likes his wife? Why is he so calm when Madam is in danger?

–Ah, he looks quite relaxed.

–Is there a possibility that he simply couldn’t defeat this zombie and didn’t want to expose himself, so he decided to pretend that he was so calm?

–You make a good point; there’s a good chance that he can’t beat it!

The group of soldiers looked at Dijia, and the look in their eyes changed gradually.

Scumbag.

Poor madam.

The madam is so miserable.

Dijia: “…”

‘I just want to enjoy watching my wife cry while beating up things.

Do you guys know how hard it is to see this kind of scene?’

A sudden scream in the distance diverted the attention of the group.

The soldiers immediately raised their heads, and they saw the madam had spun and kicked Madam Li in the head, and directly pressed the head of the zombie into the ground.

His arms were so slender and delicate, and he pressed the back of the zombie’s head gently, but the other party couldn’t even move.

It was similar to the Monkey King being crushed beneath Wuzi Mountain and unable to fight back.

The soldiers immediately raised their heads, and they saw the lady with a body full of grips kick the first lady in the head, and press the head of the zombie directly into the ground.

While pressing the zombie, he cried out, “It’s so scary, wuu, it scared me to death.”

The crowd: “…”

We would have believed you if you said it ten minutes ago.

We have no enmity with you, Lord Governor, but why does your Excellency treat us like fools?

[Hahahaha, ah, my cheeks are numb.]

[God Xin shouted that he was scared, who could stand it? I believe the big boss can stand it after enduring being called a turtle.]

[I guess the big boss was stunned by God Xin’s charm.]

[Rain drops on a pear blossom- awesome God Xin.]
