As soon as the words were spoken, they entered the crystal coffin.

Su Jinyu, who had been lying quietly with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them the next moment.

"This is fucking..."

"Holy crap, this is a zombie coming back to life..."

At that moment, everyone in the hall gasped, some even directly uttering the words "national essence".

However, this was no exception. Su Jinyu had been dead for several days, and now she was alive again. It was hard to believe no matter how you looked at it, but the facts were right in front of them, and they had no choice but to believe it!

"Jinyu, Jinyu, are you really my daughter Jinyu?"

Li Qiuyue looked at Su Jinyu, who sat up from the coffin, and saw no fear on her face, but rather excitement.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? If I'm not your daughter Jinyu, then who is?"

"But how did I end up in a coffin?"

Su Jinyu had just woken up and looked at the mourning hall that the Su family had set up for him with a puzzled expression.

"My daughter, my dear daughter!"

At that moment, Li Qiuyue could no longer hold back and rushed to Su Jinyu, hugging her tightly.

"Jinyu, you scared your mother to death!"

"You don't know what happened, you suddenly collapsed, your body was ice-cold and you weren't breathing, even Doctor Li couldn't do anything about it!"

"Luckily, Xiao Jiang was there; he saved you!"

Li Qiuyue hugged Su Jinyu and told her the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu was shocked; she couldn't believe it.

However, the person who said this was her mother, and she would never lie to her!

Then, her gaze focused on Jiang Chen.

"Thank you so much for saving me!"

"I will repay you handsomely later!"

Su Jinyu's voice was ethereal, yet also somewhat cold.

Of course, this wasn't a cold attitude; after all, she had used the same tone when she spoke to Li Qiuyue earlier.

"No need for formalities. We're family. Now that you're my wife, saving your life is only natural!"

"However, what Mom said earlier was somewhat inaccurate. You didn't faint for no reason; you were set up!"

Despite possessing the Ice Phoenix Physique, which exudes a chilling aura, keeping strangers away.

However, the Ice Phoenix Physique, as a special physique, makes those who possess it exceptionally talented cultivators, one in ten thousand, once awakened.

Therefore, the Ice Phoenix Body is beneficial, not harmful.

The reason why Su Jinyu's cold energy invaded her heart meridian was because someone had sabotaged her, causing her Ice Phoenix Body to awaken prematurely.

"What did you say?"

How did you know?

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyu and Li Qiuyue simultaneously changed their expressions and asked.

There's no other reason than that one almost tore the child apart, and the other almost lost their beloved daughter. Now, hearing Jiang Chen say such things, how could they not be furious!

"Take me to your boudoir, and that's where the reason lies!"

Su Jinyu, unsuspecting, disregarded the guests who were there to pay their respects and led Jiang Chen to her boudoir.

As soon as Jiang Chen entered Su Jinyu's boudoir, he sensed a chilling aura.

Jiang Chen took a step and arrived in front of a pink figurine.

He placed his hand on the ornament, and with a slight force, the plaster ornament shattered with a crash. Then, a white jade pendant with a few eerie red streaks appeared in Jiang Chen's hand.

"A corpse tablet from southern Xinjiang, soaked in 100-year-old corpse water for 49 days!"

"Zhou Shen exudes an eerie and malevolent aura; those who come into contact with him will suffer from a host of illnesses at best, and die suddenly at worst!"

The person who sent this gift is utterly despicable!

It was the Yin energy of this corpse tablet that invaded Su Jinyu's body and disrupted her Ice Phoenix Cold Qi.

In order to protect its master, the Ice Phoenix Body awakened ahead of schedule. However, Su Jinyu had neither the relevant methods nor the relevant experience. Faced with the surging cold air, there was no way to avoid it. This led to the cold air invading her heart meridian, leaving her without any breath.

The Ice Phoenix Body inherently possesses the ability to live even in the face of death, which inexplicably protected a trace of Su Jinyu's heart meridian, allowing him to finally wait for her!

Looking at the corpse tablet in Jiang Chen's hand, Su Jinyu's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Jinyu, why is there something like this in your ornaments?"

Upon seeing the culprit who caused her daughter's death, Li Qiuyue was furious and looked at Su Jinyu, asking her a question.

"This ornament was a gift from my older brother not long ago!"

"Su Zhen?"

"But why would he want to hurt you?"

Li Qiuyue said, somewhat confused.

Su Jinyu understood perfectly why her mother, at such a young age, had taken over the Su family's construction business without any apparent reason.

"What else could it be for? It's for the West Garden!"

The Su family dominated Qincheng by two businesses: medicinal herbs and construction.

Decades ago, before the construction industry took off, the eldest branch of the Su family controlled the lucrative medicinal herb business, while the second branch controlled the construction business.

Unexpectedly, with the development of the times, the construction industry has risen, and the construction business managed by the second wife has become the leading enterprise of the Su family.

Therefore, the eldest son's branch not only managed the medicinal herb business but also established a construction company, managing both operations simultaneously.

In previous years, the first wife's family used a two-pronged approach to defeat the second wife's family. However, with Su Jinyu taking power, the construction business in Qincheng returned to the second wife's family.

Recently, Xiyuan, a prime piece of land in Qincheng that has not yet been developed, is going to undergo a comprehensive renovation.

Only the two branches of the Su family are capable of undertaking this renovation project.

"I've got it. The main branch of the family isn't allowed to interfere in the West Garden redevelopment plan!"

Su Jinyu was furious at Su Zhen's attempt to murder her by sending a corpse token, but she did not lose her mind and made the most rational decision.

Seeing that her daughter had made a decision, Li Qiuyue had no doubts. She then looked at Jiang Chen and then at her daughter.

"Jinyu, from what I overheard your father's conversation with Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang isn't just your savior, he's also your fiancé!"

"Things have been up and down these past few days. I won't get involved in your affairs; you two should get to know each other better!"

Li Qiuyue became more and more satisfied with Jiang Chen.

He can heal the sick and save lives, and he also has a skill in metaphysical techniques. Even when faced with doubts, he remains neither humble nor arrogant. Most importantly, Jiang Chen has sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and is exceptionally handsome.

As Li Qiuyue left them alone, the room fell silent for a moment.

"Um, what's this about the engagement?"

Just then, Su Jinyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Chen then explained the matter of the ghost marriage.

"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense! A ghost marriage? What a feudal and outdated tradition!"

"Jiang Chen, you saved me, and I am very grateful to you. I will definitely repay you, but... there are no feelings between us, and I... I absolutely cannot marry you!"

Just then, Su Jinyu looked at Jiang Chen and said succinctly.

"Feelings need to be cultivated gradually!"

Your reason is insufficient!

Jiang Chen didn't seem to care much about Su Jinyu's rejection.

All he needs to do is sleep with Su Jinyu. If he doesn't want to get married, he doesn't have to!

"Actually, actually, I already have someone I like!"
