My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.
Chapter 118 It seems the two old folks are going to have to suffer the consequences!
Chapter 118 It seems the two elders are determined to face the consequences! (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking subscriptions! Seeking book recommendations!)
It's over! It's over!
Even at my peak, I probably wouldn't be able to handle just one of them, and here there are two!
Before I could even gauge the true nature of the ghost bride beside me, I was sucked into the coffin and am only temporarily suppressed for now...
It's incredibly scary inside!
It's absolutely terrifying for me, at least!
Can my senior brothers handle this?
What if they can handle it but can't take care of me, the 'sacrifice'? Wouldn't I be in trouble too?!
They're a bunch of crazy people, their thought processes are all over the place. If a fight really breaks out, they might suddenly forget that I'm in the coffin...
That would really be the end!
God bless!
Hopefully, this jade coffin will be of better quality and have a stronger ability to suppress evil spirits!
Please don't let those ghostly things touch me!
The procession filed in, passed through the overgrown vines of the courtyard, and arrived at the main hall of the mansion.
The festive atmosphere here, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, was pushed to its extreme.
The beams and pillars, covered in a thick layer of dust, were adorned with red silk ribbons and the character "囍" (double happiness).
In the center of the main hall, there was a black lacquered altar table with two thick white dragon and phoenix candles burning on it. The candlelight flickered dimly in the eerie environment.
Several paper plates were placed on the offering table, the offerings inside already blackened and rotten, emitting a foul stench.
Above the offering table hangs a portrait of a man.
Su Ling'er only glanced through the hole and felt a chill rush straight to the top of her head!
Its mouth was split open, its skin was deathly pale, and its eyes were filled with bloody tears. There were no whites in its eyes, no pupils, only two pitch-black empty holes!
However, in this terrifying portrait, the person in the painting is giving a strange smile.
The moment Su Ling'er's gaze met the portrait, she felt as if the man in the painting was looking in her direction!
Its smile deepened, sending chills down her spine, as if the person in the painting was staring directly at her!
On either side of the offering table were two armchairs.
Two figures sat upright on the chair. They were an elderly couple dressed in magnificent funeral robes.
They should be the owners of this mansion, and also the parents of the ghost prince in the painting.
Those were two perfectly preserved mummies!
Their skin was already withered and sallow, clinging tightly to their bones; their eye sockets were sunken; their lips were slightly parted, revealing their sallow teeth.
They sat there quietly, as if they had been sitting there for thousands of years.
The moment the jade coffin carrying Su Ling'er and the ghost bride was carried into the hall, the eyelids of the two mummified corpses twitched slightly!
Then, they slowly opened their eyes.
There were only two cloudy, white pupils in those eye sockets, filled with endless resentment and death!
A terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire main hall!
Just then, a Guixi Sect disciple carrying a jade coffin lost his footing and tripped over the threshold with a cry of "Ouch!"
Suddenly, the jade coffin lurched and tilted to one side!
Caught off guard, Su Ling'er rolled directly onto the ghost bride inside the coffin, face to face and eye to eye with her, colliding solidly!
"ah--!"
Terrified, she didn't think twice and frantically pushed the ghost bride aside!
The ghost bride's skeleton slammed against the coffin wall, seemingly enraged by the impact. Just as it was about to make a move, its withered hand bones stretched out.
With a "whoosh," it was firmly locked by the phantom of the soul-hooking rope that appeared on the coffin wall!
Immediately afterwards, the phantom of the mourning stick continued to lash its body, making a series of crisp "slap slap slap!" sounds.
Soon, it stopped moving altogether.
Su Ling'er was absolutely certain at this moment that she was a living sacrifice used to harmonize yin and yang in this terrifying ghost marriage!
The ghost bride beside him is the "original wife," while he himself is a living sacrifice for the ghost prince in the painting and these two old ghosts to "bring good luck"!
Just then, Lin Qingfeng made a move.
The sorrowful expression on his face, as if he were attending his junior sister's funeral, had vanished, replaced by a playful smile.
He stood before the two mummified corpses that exuded a terrifying aura, and said with a mocking smile, "Gentlemen, I've come uninvited and am sorry to have troubled you."
He pointed to the jade coffin behind him.
"We are also part of the procession accompanying that lady from the Li family to her wedding and funeral."
"However... our fees may be higher than those of the previous wedding escorts."
He held up five fingers and said slowly:
"As for the bride price... 500,000 spirit stones."
We will then escort this ghost bride safely to your residence and hand her over to you, shall we?"
The two mummified corpses glared angrily at Lin Qingfeng in front of them.
The mummified corpse of the "old man" appeared extremely angry.
With a loud "smack," the withered hand slammed down on the table beside him, and a powerful aura of killing intent erupted!
Su Ling'er shrank back in fright.
Good guy!
No!
How come you're in the funeral business and talking business with the dead?
Is this how funerals are done?
Why are you still thinking of swindling hundreds of thousands of spirit stones from ghosts?!
Do they even have that many? You're asking for an exorbitant amount!
This is the fee they charge for their funeral, right?
It must be, right?
You only carried the bride a few steps, and that's worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones?!
You really are Lin Bapi reincarnated, aren't you?!
Please!
When you cause trouble, can you please not involve me when you're fighting?!
You bunch of lunatics, coming here to extort money from these vengeful spirits, can you please not drag me into it?!
What use can a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me possibly have?
It seems like there's nothing I can do except watch from inside the coffin!
Can you guys please stop dragging me into this all the time?
I was just faking an illness, and you guys just happened to use me as a human sacrifice?!
In the main hall, the mummified corpse of the "old patriarch" slowly rose, and the terrifying pressure made the air freeze.
The playful expression on Lin Qingfeng's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of deep sorrow and grief. He said with a pained expression:
"I tried to reason with the two elders, but it seems they're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting the offer."
We only wanted to collect a mere few hundred thousand spirit stones as a fee for our hard work, yet you tried to take advantage of us for free. How disrespectful and ungrateful you are!
Since you are so heartless, then don't blame us for being unjust!
We were forced into this situation and had no choice but to retaliate!
"Paying back debts is a matter of course!"
I hope you won't regret your decision today amidst the endless labor of my clan!
These distorted and fabricated statements left Su Ling'er, who was inside the coffin, speechless.
I said, if you're going to take action, just do it, okay?
They insist on putting themselves in the position of a virtuous gentleman!
Is this the kind of work you demonic cultivators should be doing?
Are you demonic cultivators nowadays so particular about having a "just cause" for your actions?!
Still owe money?!
When did they owe you a debt?!
