Chapter 56 A Pie Falling from the Sky (Part 3)

Take out the polished bead and shine it under a light tube; you can see the flowing spiritual mist inside.

Su Yixuan nodded in satisfaction and carefully carved a rune on the surface of the bead with the tip of the dagger.

Because the beads were too small, and the dagger wasn't very sharp.

Before long, cold sweat began to bead on Su Yixuan's forehead.

"Whoo~"

I wiped the sweat from my temples; it was finally finished.

Take out the gold-inlaid jade bracelet that I bought in Wuming City, pry out the jade beads inside, and string the peach baby beads in and tie them up.

I added a few small lucky beads that I'd swiped from Li Chao to make a bracelet. It was a bit ugly, but it worked.

I was thinking that if I went to Qixingmen again next time, I would look for a better-looking outfit.

I stood up, stretched, and then realized that the lights outside the window were already on.

No wonder my neck hurts; I've been sitting for hours.

As I opened the door, ready to find something to eat, I discovered that Mo Lijiu had already prepared dinner.

Su Yixuan couldn't help but tease, "You're good at both formal and informal settings, your cooking skills are impressive! Aren't you the Ninth Master of the Mo family, who never lifts a finger?"

Mo Lijiu wasn't buying it: "Back when I was studying away from home, I didn't want to order takeout, so I had to cook for myself. Although your compliments make me feel good, I can't cook for you every day, you're not my girlfriend!"

Su Yixuan was taken aback: "You're so stingy. If you don't want to do it, then don't."

She took out a lucky bag and handed it to him: "This one I made is better than your copper coin. Remember to carry it with you every day and don't take it off casually."

Mo Lijiu took it and touched it with her hand; inside was a small bead shape.

She quickly took out the bracelet from the bag and put it on her wrist. The color was a bit dark, but it looked nice on her hand, so it didn't look cheap.

Su Yixuan's face flushed slightly. Although she was reluctant to admit it, her skills were indeed not up to par with her abilities.

Meanwhile, Mo Lijiu's senses, which had been somewhat distorted by the Ghost King's evil aura, began to slowly return to clarity, and the biting cold gradually turned into warmth.

On the balcony lounge chair, what lay there was no longer a menacing gray python, but a real snake, silvery-white with soft horns.

He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: How could such an ordinary string of beads be more useful than the ancient coins that Master Qian had gone to great lengths to acquire?

It seems that Su Yixuan's previous remarks were not just empty talk.

Su Yixuan had no idea what he was thinking. She opened her palm and said, "You can give the little fox back to me now. If I stay with you for a few more days, I won't be able to save my life."

Mo Lijiu wanted to refute it, but that was the truth.

Helplessly, he took the sleeping little fox out of his pocket and placed it in her palm.

Su Yixuan looked at the little fox, which had obviously swelled up quite a bit, and was speechless for a while. She quickly carried it back to her bedroom and placed it on her desk.

Thinking of the nine-tailed fox that her junior apprentice Li Wenbin had given her, she could use it as a container, so she wouldn't have to waste the talisman, killing two birds with one stone.

I was sleeping soundly in bed under the moonlight when suddenly something heavy pressed down on my chest.

Then came a heart-wrenching wail: "Little Xuanxuan, you finally remembered to take me home? Do you know what I've been through these past few days? The Ghost Boss was terrifying! He was afraid the evil energy would damage my body, so he stuffed all the overflowing ghostly energy into my stomach. Do you know I almost lost my soul! Awooo~"

"you shut up!"

The little fox suddenly slammed on the brakes, looking at Su Yixuan with teary eyes: "Xiao Xuanxuan, you heartless woman, you took me and then abandoned me, you scumbag!"

"..." Su Yixuan took out the bamboo-jointed mechanical nine-tailed fox from beside her pillow: "I specially obtained this container for you, do you want it?"

"Uh, for me?"

"Of course, this is a high-quality soul weapon produced by the Seven Star Group. I had to travel a long way to personally ask for it before they sold it to me."

The little fox couldn't cry anymore: "How much did you spend?"

Su Yixuan thought about the price she had seen before, and without hesitation added another zero: "One million!"

"One million!!!"

The little fox exclaimed in surprise, "You actually spent a million! Didn't you promise me that you would save up money to buy materials to make me a physical body? You broke your promise!"

She sounded aggrieved and wanted to cry.

Su Yixuan waved the mechanical nine-tailed fox in her hand: "I made one for you! And it has nine tails, isn't it prettier than your one-tailed one?"

He was spouting empty words, but in his heart he was screaming in despair.

You agreed too readily before. Is it possible to just casually do whatever you want with your body?
With the meager balance in her account, she could barely afford to fool the little fox, let alone buy a fox pelt.

The little fox took it seriously and pouted, "I'll use this first, and when you've saved up enough money, you can make me a soft, fluffy body."

"Okay, I'll definitely get you a better one later. I promised you, and I can't go back on my word!"

This "later" must be after she has so much money she can't spend it all.

Unable to sleep after the little fox's antics, Su Yixuan meditated until dawn.

"Dingling bell~"

Su Yixuan opened her eyes, her gaze clear and without a trace of fatigue.

Upon seeing the words "Big Brother" flashing on the screen, he quickly replied, "Good morning, Big Brother!"

"Xuanxuan, did I disturb your sleep?"

Su Yixuan sensed the unease in Su Shaoan's tone and quickly asked, "Has something happened?"

Su Shaoan's tone was very low: "Recently, there have been a series of strange incidents of corpses leaving their 'homes' on their own. I feel that this is not normal, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Uh, what do you mean by running away from 'home'?"

"About two or three days ago, villagers from Wangshan Village reported to the police that the body of a relative who had just been buried had gone missing. After that, many villagers came to report that bodies had also disappeared. The people we sent over checked the nearby surveillance footage and discovered that the bodies had all crawled out of the ground on their own. How should I put it? It just looked quite surreal, so I called to ask if you had encountered a similar situation."

Su Yixuan pondered for a moment: "Did these corpses only move around midnight? Most of them moved slowly and stiffly, and faced one direction."

Su Shaoan thought about it carefully and realized that it was true: "The village's surveillance cameras are not widely deployed, so they can only capture a short clip occasionally. It does seem like they are being led in the same direction by someone."

“Brother, there should be a corpse raiser hiding in Wangshan Village. This kind of person is very dangerous and cunning. I suggest you withdraw your men to avoid alerting him and causing him to die in vain.”

"Corpse raisers? I've heard of corpse drivers, but I've never actually met a corpse raiser."

"The Xuanmen Celestial Masters come from all walks of life, and conversely, there are bound to be dark sorcerers who know all sorts of shady methods. Corpse breeders are one of them; they cultivate high-level zombies by driving corpses to kill each other and stimulating their ferocity."

"Zombies?"

"Yes, top-tier zombies are incredibly realistic. Wearing a coat and blending into a crowd, it's difficult to tell the difference. They're immortal, incredibly powerful, and feed on human flesh. Wouldn't you want such a secret weapon?"
