Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 415 The Inheritance of the Family Lineage. (First Update!)

"Cough cough cough..."

After a bout of coughing, Zheng Que stood up from the ground.

Looking at Shu Yunying, who was dressed provocatively and unaware of her surroundings, he frowned slightly and raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth.

Normally, the effect of the [Stunning Smoke Skirt] is to increase defense and increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy.

However, the effect of the Yin garment that Shu Yunying crafted was to greatly increase the total amount of Yin energy. It had no effect on defense, but it would make the wearer believe that their defense was invincible!

After Shu Yunying put on this Yin robe, she directly took the enhanced Soul Explosion Technique from him head-on. If he hadn't stopped in time, he would have been blown to pieces on the spot!
To be precise, if Shu Yunying hadn't changed into that Yin robe halfway through the battle, she might have ended up fighting him to a draw, just like Ku Lan.

However, after putting on that ghost robe, he almost died!

In this situation, because he stopped halfway, the other party seized the opportunity and beat him up...

Thinking of this, Zheng Que couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Shu Yunying spent several days and used up a lot of her own materials to finally craft this Yin Robe, but the effect... was worse than having no effect at all!

Fortunately, we've tested it now. If Shu Yunying wore this Yin robe in actual combat, wouldn't she be handing her opponent a free kill?

So Zheng Que said, "Alright, Miss, quickly change out of this [Stunning Smoke and Silk Skirt]."

Upon hearing this, Shu Yunying stood still, as if she hadn't heard him at all. Maintaining her dignified young lady demeanor, she continued to say with a reserved expression, "Shu Que, you've lost, so you've lost. There's no need for you to kowtow to this young lady so many times."

"I have always been approachable and respectful to those who are talented and capable. I cherish and care for a useful subordinate like you even more."

"From now on, when you see me, just kowtow ten times as a greeting."

Ok?
Zheng Que immediately felt something was off. He quickly walked to Shu Yunying's side, only to see that Shu Yunying didn't even glance at him out of the corner of her eye. She was still staring at the spot where he had just fallen, nodded slightly, and then said, "Not bad! Not bad!"

"Shu Que, you were so thoughtful today!"

"That ghost bride and the 'Painted Skin' ghost will indeed have to kowtow and pay their respects when they see me from now on..."

Seeing that Shu Yunying had inexplicably started talking to herself, Zheng Que tentatively patted her shoulder.

Shu Yunying remained unmoved and continued to utter all sorts of strange words.

Zheng Que frowned immediately. It seemed that Shu Yunying was now in a hallucination!
The side effects of the shroud that the other party forged seem a bit outrageous.

While he was thinking, he moved his hand down and directly took off Shu Yunying's yin clothes.

Shu Yunying seemed completely oblivious, letting him do as he pleased without any reaction. She even slightly raised her chin, maintaining an arrogant and reserved demeanor, and uttered strange words.

Because the garment was so revealing and the fabric so thin it was practically invisible, Zheng Que, despite his carefulness, kept touching Shu Yunying's soft body as he removed it. It took him a long time before he finally managed to remove the garment with great reluctance.

The moment the veil was removed, Shu Yunying snapped back to her senses. She immediately turned to Zheng Que and asked in confusion, "Shu Que, how did you suddenly appear next to me?"

Seeing that Shu Yunying had returned to normal, Zheng Que nodded and immediately replied, "Miss, your senses were just confused by the Yin Cloth... by the [Surprising Smoke Skirt]."

"In the battle just now, it was actually you who lost, young lady."

"I didn't kowtow or beg for mercy."

"It's all your imagination after you put on the [Stunning Clouds Skirt]."

While this yin garment can enhance the yin energy of a ghost servant, the side effects are far too great; the effect is essentially negative. You can give it to your opponents or use it to trick others, but absolutely never let your own ghost servant wear it!

Upon hearing this, Shu Yunying didn't believe it at all and was about to refute it when she immediately noticed that Zheng Que was holding her carefully crafted magic robe. She then realized something, looked down at herself, and was taken aback.

The next moment, a surge of yin energy churned around her, and a black dress with silver patterns suddenly appeared, concealing her jade-like body.

After getting dressed, Shu Yunying looked at Zheng Que again and said angrily, "Shu Que, how dare you, a mere servant, covet swan meat like a toad, harboring improper thoughts about this young lady!"

"Although you have presented me with casting blueprints and the [Casting Technique] this time, you should know that this is what you should do as a servant."

"You must never become arrogant because of this. You must always remember the difference between master and servant. From now on, just quietly do things for this young lady. How dare you be so audacious as to covet this young lady..."

As Zheng Que listened to Shu Yunying's incessant scolding, he was about to explain when he suddenly shook his head slightly.

I had just taken off the other person's yin clothes and didn't really think much about it, but what if I really have improper thoughts in the future?
Zheng Que immediately replied calmly, "Miss, now all the members of the Shu Family Fortress have perished."

"In the vast Shu Family Fortress, only the young lady and I remain alive."

"If there are no descendants to continue the bloodline, wouldn't the Shu Family Fortress become a mere shell of its former self?"

"As the saying goes, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no offspring."

"I did all this for the sake of the Shu family and for the future of Shu Family Fortress."

"Does the young lady, as the apple of the eye of the Shu family, not want the Shu family to prosper and continue its lineage?"

"For the future of Shujiabao, I have long been prepared, even if I am misunderstood by the world and ridiculed by thousands!"

"Not to mention a mere reputation!"

As she listened, Shu Yunying fell silent and began to seriously consider Zheng Que's suggestion.

Seeing this, Zheng Que did not hesitate. He put his arm around Shu Yunying's slender waist, maintained his stern expression, and asked, "Miss, when can we continue the family bloodline?"

"It is our responsibility to carry on the family legacy!"

Shu Yunying frowned slightly, lost in thought, seemingly oblivious to Zheng Que's subtle movements.

After a long while, she finally spoke, "It is true that this young lady has not seen any other members of her clan for a long time."

"It's weird!"

"During this period, my memories have been incomplete."

"How about this, you take me back to Shu Family Fortress and see what's going on there."

"If it were really just the two of us left now."

"For the sake of the Shu family's legacy, this young lady will naturally not care about the difference in rank and will make an exception to take you into her household so that the family can continue its lineage."

Do you frequently experience memory loss?

Zheng Que immediately realized that Shu Yunying treated him as a living person, so every time he put her into the soul-nurturing bag, she would forget the memory of being a ghost.

After this happened repeatedly, Shu Yunying would start to believe that she frequently suffered from amnesia...
