Chapter 109: Chapter 101: Which Family Is Stronger in Dealing with Zombies?
Translator: 549690339
Bang!
The moment Xu Yang was thrown to the ground, a Diamond Talisman on his body exploded, emanating a faint golden light that prevented him from getting hurt.
But…
He was a bit confused.
Why was Yue Yuluo so irritable today?
Wait a minute…
My princess?
This wasn’t Yue Yuluo!
It was his sister-in-law, Yue Yuluo’s twin sister the Ghost King!
He actually touched his sister-in-law’s head and called her “Madam,” how embarrassing…
At this time, Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo and Yang Yin came in from outside, carrying several packages. It appeared they had just gone to the market. Yue Yuluo was the first to rush over when she saw this scene.
Husband!
Husband, are you okay?
She helped Xu Yang up and then asked, “Sister, why did you hit my husband?
Liu Shishi’s gaze turned cold, and in a low voice, she said, “Miss Yates, if you’re here to visit our house, we will be more than happy to welcome you out of respect for Yuluo… But if you want to bully Xu Yang, you’ll have to ask me if I agree first!”
A Yin energy rose from her body.
Miss Yates couldn’t tolerate this kind of aura. She sneered, and a Yin energy also rose from her body.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Xu Yang quickly stepped in between the two women, saying, “Everyone, calm down. It’s a misunderstanding… what just happened was a misunderstanding. We are all family, so why bother ruining the harmony?”
Humph!
Miss Yates snorted, “Who’s family with you?
But the Yin energy around her dissipated.
She glanced at Yue Yuluo and said, “Yuluo, there’s not much good in the world of the living. If you are wronged, just send a paper person to tell me, and I’ll smash this shop for you…”
I know!
Yue Yuluo said: “Shishi and Yinyin treat me well… Sister, it’s a good thing you came. I was just about to learn cooking with Shishi and them. Sit down and have a meal before you leave.”
Miss Yates was shocked, “You dare to cook? Have you forgotten that time when we almost poisoned our master and fellow disciples with our cooking?”
All… Sister!
Yue Yuluo’s face turned red as she scolded, “It’s been hundreds of years, how can you still remember that? Besides, we are ghosts now, we don’t have to worry about food poisoning.”
Xu Yang: “…
Holy shit!
Yue Yuluo had such a fierce record?
And although you ghosts are not afraid of food poisoning, what about me?
He quickly said, “Yuluo, your sister is here so we shouldn’t cook ourselves, let’s go out and treat her to a good meal!”
Soon after,
Xu Yang drove the four female ghosts to a “Beef Noodle Shop”.
Wu city had a unique “morning tea” culture.
A pot of steaming eight treasures tea, a bowl of rich and fragrant beef noodles, a few light and refreshing small dishes, plus some pastries, a few kilograms of beef, and a few bowls of mutton soup – this was considered the highest standard of Wu city’s “morning tea”.
Yue Yuluo and her sister were eating “morning tea” for the first time, and they were very interested in the beef noodles and other small dishes.
After chatting for a while, Xu Yang learned:
The living conditions for Yin spirits in the Ghost Market were very poor.
Especially for those law-abiding Yin spirits who were unwilling to harm people, their living conditions were the worst. Some of the ghosts had died so long ago that their descendants had cut off their “offerings”, leaving them penniless.
There were indeed restaurants in the Ghost Market.
But the dishes in those restaurants were limited and couldn’t compare to the delicious food in the human world.
Miss Yates was very satisfied with the meal, and her attitude towards Xu Yang softened considerably. Her relationship with Liu Shishi and Yang Yin also started to improve…
When they returned to the funeral shop, they ran into the arrival of a delivery.
The items in the shop had been almost completely sold out during the “Ghost Market” a few days ago. Xu Yang had called to order more things as soon as he returned. The delivery service was very efficient, and the items arrived at the shop in just three days.
In the past, it would have taken at least a day for Xu Yang to carry and sort through all these items on his own.
But now, with the help of the four female ghosts, the empty shelves were filled up in no time.
Even Miss Yates was happily carrying items.
Xu Yang saw that:
Her personality was actually very similar to Yue Yuluo’s – both were naive and sweet!
It was just that she had been acting as the “Ghost King” in the Ghost Market for a long time, and she had to maintain the prestige of the Ghost King, which made her appear more aggressive. From the “great wisdom” she shared with Yue Yuluo, it was obvious that she had little experience in the world.
And this could also be seen from her holding onto a paper sports car, not wanting to let go.
Sister, do you like this car?
Xu Yang stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Miss Yates reluctantly put down the car and held her head high, saying, “As a Ghost King who has dominated the ghost circles of the northwest for many years, I have seen all kinds of treasures, and I don’t think a four-wheel car is anything special…”
Xu Yang didn’t argue with her, and immediately set the car on fire as a tribute to Miss Yates.
Hum!
When the brand-new sports car appeared outside the funeral shop, Miss Yates’s eyes lit up, and she ran to the car but didn’t know how to drive. Seeing this, Liu Shishi shook her head and went to teach her how to drive.
Xu Yang watched with a tingling scalp…
Liu Shishi’s driving skills were indescribable, allowing her to teach others how to drive. It would feel like a ghost car drifting in no time!
He then took a big bundle of high-denomination netherworld currency and burned it all for Miss Yates, saying, “Sis, you need some money to run the Ghost Market… if you need anything else, just say it, and I’ll burn it for you.
Miss Yates’s eyes widened in glee at Xu Yang’s generosity.
After having lunch together, Miss Yates excused herself, citing that she had things to do at the Ghost Market.
In the afternoon, Xu Yang contacted the real estate agent and went to see another villa.
This villa was a large, three-story standalone building with its independent courtyard. The original owner was a businessman who had hardly lived there after several years of development in An City and great renovations.
As for the price, it was slightly more expensive than the average villa price in Wu City, at 5.8 million. The main reason was that the materials used for the renovations were of high quality, and they could move in as soon as the contract was signed.
Xu Yang calculated that if he were to buy a roughcast house and find someone to renovate it himself, the cost would be even higher and wouldn’t be ready to move in for at least six months.
Xu Yang consulted for opinions.
Liu Shishi, Yang Yin, and Yue Yuluo all expressed satisfaction, and immediately asked the agent to contact the owner to handle the procedures as soon as possible.
After making an excuse to eat dinner outside, Xu Yang and Liu Shishi brought up the “Daoist Skills Conference” and mentioned going to Changan to help Liu Shishi find the tomb.
Liu Shishi naturally had no objections.
She just expressed concern, “Since it’s the Daoist Skills Conference, I’m afraid that the Lu Shan Sect’s Daoist priests will also participate… What if they are malicious towards you?”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “The organizers of this Daoist Skills Conference are the Zongsheng Palace in Changan. Although this Zongsheng Palace isn’t well- known, it has a very impressive background… It was the site where the great master Yin Xi observed stars and auras during the Zhou Dynasty, and where Laozi expounded on the Dao Te Jing. This is one of the most ancient Daoist sects with a long lineage. Even with their Lu Shan Sect’s courage, they wouldn’t dare to make a move in the Zongsheng Palace.”
Since he had decided to participate in the “Daoist Skills Conference,” Xu Yang spent the next few days studying how to draw talismans, conduct rituals, and learn Daoist spells. In addition, many Daoist scriptures could be found online.
Even if it was just a last-minute cram session, it was better than getting a zero on the written test items during the “Daoist Skills Conference.”
Soon enough, three more days passed.
It was only three days before the “Daoist Skills Conference.
One afternoon, Xu Yang was practicing making talismans in the shop when he saw the Spirits Management Bureau’s off-road vehicle parked outside the funeral shop. Wang Lin and Feng Zhaoqing got out of the car, one after the other.
Looking up, Xu Yang saw that Feng Zhaoqing’s entire face was glowing red, and his temperament had undergone a huge change compared to the past few days.
His whole person had an indescribable, inexplicable charm.
With every move he made, he seemed to blend in with the surrounding world.
Xu Yang got up to greet him and laughed, “Congratulations, Captain Feng, on achieving the Unity of Heaven and Man and breaking through to the Grandmaster Realm of martial arts!”
Feng Zhaoqing laughed and said, “It took me eighteen years of cultivation to achieve this. I’m far inferior compared to Master Xu… I’ve learned about the recent events, and Master Xu capturing the red-clothed ghost is truly a heavenly feat.”
Above the realm of the Grandmaster in martial arts is the “Heavenly Being
Realm.”
Complimented by a martial arts Grandmaster like this, Xu Yang was naturally in a good mood. They exchanged pleasantries for a while and then entered business mode, praising each other.
Much later, Xu Yang finally asked, “Is Grandmaster Feng coming out of seclusion today, planning to go and deal with that zombie?”
Yes!
Feng Zhaoqing said, “I was worried that even if I broke through to the Grandmaster Realm of martial arts, I wouldn’t be able to capture the zombie with absolute certainty… But since Master Xu can capture the red-clothed ghost, his Daoist skills are not weaker than those of an Entering Dao Realm cultivator. Together, we will definitely suppress that zombie!”
After discussing, the two decided to take action tonight.
Feng Zhaoqing stood up and said, “My team has prepared some tools that will be delivered later… The location of the zombie is quite far from Wu City. Let’s leave later!”
Soon enough, Bai Wei brought a large bag of tools.
These so-called tools were actually silver-made guns, ammunition, and nets.
There was also a barrel of black dog blood.
I consulted with Master Luan of Maoshan, who said that zombies are most afraid of these things… These tools have been infused with Maoshan’s special talismans and have a great restraining effect on zombies.”
Feng Zhaoqing explained.
Xu Yang nodded.
If it were about catching ghosts, Xu Yang considered himself not inferior to Luan Haiping.
But when it came to dealing with zombies…
The various Daoist sects in the martial world would undoubtedly consider Maoshan to be the best. Some Maoshan masters had left numerous legends of subduing demons and exorcising ghosts during the Republic of Da Xia period and had even made movies about their adventures, causing a “zombie movie” trend for awhile.
Soon enough, the off-road vehicle drove out of Wu City and headed southeast.
On the way, Xu Yang learned through conversation that…
The zombie Feng Zhaoqing discovered was located in Ma Long’s hometown, where there was an ancient tomb. It had been destroyed by treasure hunters, causing the corpse poison to spread and even cause some damage.
Feng Zhaoqing had been running around in the mountains for some time trying to solve these issues.
Xu Yang felt uneasy and asked, “Grandmaster Feng, when was that ancient tomb discovered?”
Feng Zhaoqing mentioned a rough timeline.
And in Xu Yang’s mind…
A bad premonition emerged…
This timeline seemed to coincide with when he went to the mountains to perform rituals for Ma Long.
