When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Chuyu's eyes lit up with a sharp light.

He originally thought that shrinking the earth to an inch was just a simple movement technique, but after truly cultivating it...

I later realized that wasn't the case.

This technique is based on the earth's veins and also contains a trace of spatial power.

That's why you can take a single step that can cover tens of meters.

"With this ability to shrink the distance to an inch, if I want to leave, even an existence above the Innate Realm cannot stop me."

I did a little experiment.

Zhang Chuyu was even more satisfied.

Back in the room.

Looking at the mall's special offers, there's only one day left.

Zhang Chuyu pondered for a moment.

I bought another fifty spirit stones.

That concludes today's harvest.

"Cultivation!"

Zhang Chuyu sat cross-legged and gradually entered a meditative state.

...

Time passed second by second.

The moonlight poured down at midnight.

It was nearly four in the morning.

It is also the quietest time of night.

While Zhou Nan was asleep, she suddenly found herself becoming fully conscious.

But the whole body seemed to be falling uncontrollably.

It felt like the fall was endless, and the feeling of weightlessness swept over me.

He was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his forehead, but he couldn't move at all.

I don't know how much time has passed.

It felt like hours, yet also like seconds.

He awoke from a desolate, lonely, and gloomy place.

The chilling aura sent a shiver down his obese body.

"Zhou Nan...I'll take your life..."

A shrill voice rang in Zhou Nan's ears.

Followed by.

Countless dark, ghostly hands reached out from the darkness and grabbed at Zhou Nan.

It was as if countless souls were trying to drag him into hell!

Holy crap!

Zhou Nan was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

But he couldn't escape it.

Just as those ghostly hands were about to grab him...

next door.

Zhang Chuyu suddenly opened her eyes from her meditation.

His figure flashed by.

They appeared directly in front of Zhou Nan's door.

Inside the room, billowing black smoke was seen emanating from Zhou Nan's forehead.

The black mist vaguely coalesced into a ghostly figure.

She's choking him.

"You wretched creature, you actually dare to come!"

Zhang Chuyu gave a low shout.

A golden light slashed down at the ghostly figure!

Ghost Shadow was also surprised that someone would come here at this time.

Even more unexpectedly, the golden light arrived with such ferocity.

bump--

It didn't even have time to dodge before it let out a miserable scream.

The black energy suddenly contracted.

thump--

Zhou Nan sprang up from the bed like a machine, her eyes tightly closed, muttering to herself.

"Don't arrest me! Don't arrest me! My father is Zhou Hansheng, he's got tons of money!"

Zhang Chuyu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Pointing out with one finger.

In the void, talismans gathered.

A talisman for calming the soul has been generated.

He flicked his finger, and the talisman transformed into a stream of light that instantly disappeared into Zhou Nan's forehead.

Completely dispel the remaining yin energy in his body.

Zhou Nan gradually calmed down.

It took a good ten seconds before he opened his eyes as if he had just woken up from a nightmare.

Upon seeing Zhang Chuyu, he pounced on her.

"Holy crap, Chu Yu, I need some comforting~!"

"??????"

What kind of outrageous and inappropriate language is this?

Zhang Chuyu slapped him back.

"Take care of your grandpa, he's figured it out and is going to Chengdu."

He got a big slap in the face from someone he loved to eat.

Zhou Nan covered her face, looking aggrieved.

"I just had a nightmare! I'm a bit emotionally vulnerable right after waking up."

"A nightmare?" Zhang Chuyu wiped a piece of offering fruit, took a bite, and then said, "You really think it was a dream?"

"???"

"Chu Yu... what do you mean by that?" Zhou Nan trembled, as if he had realized something.

"You...you're not going to tell me I really encountered a ghost, are you?!"

"Almost. You should know the changes in you without me having to say more. If I hadn't arrived just in time, I would have been able to come to your house for a feast in three days."

"Oh, no, it's that I went to your family's banquet, and I gave half the gift money."

If someone else had said that, Zhou Nan definitely wouldn't have believed it.

But these words came from Zhang Chuyu's mouth.

He knew this was no joke.

"Chu Yu, you really know magic now!? Did Master Zhang teach you Taoist magic?"

Zhou Nan and Zhang Chuyu have been inseparable since they were little.

Naturally, he knew a lot about Longhu Mountain.

Zhang Chuyu couldn't help but feel annoyed when she mentioned her cheap master.

"What a load of rubbish."

Now he knows that there are so-called spiritual practitioners in this world.

Zhang Chuyu now fully understands many of the things the old man said that were previously unreasonable.

He would never believe that this old guy didn't know a few tricks.

"Alright, stop mentioning that old man. Tell me what's going on in your family. The filth on you isn't targeting you."

Hearing Zhang Chuyu's question.

Zhou Nan's face darkened.

"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore."

"This was indeed my dad's fault... to be precise, it was related to a project he was working on."

Zhang Chuyu waved her hand.

"Wait a minute, you won't die anytime soon. I'll go get something to liven things up."

He said this as he walked out of the room.

He took out the kebabs he had bought earlier from his Qingyun Ring.

The preservation technology inside the Qingyun Ring is simply first-rate; Zhang Chuyu has also tested it.

Even after two days, the skewers still look as fresh as if they were just grilled.

I heated it up briefly, then prepared a bag of peanuts and two cold dishes.

When Zhang Chuyu returned with it.

Zhou Nan's eyes immediately lit up.

"They even have this good stuff! We have to get some!"

He skillfully brought out two small stools.

They even moved the table into the yard, clearly indicating they'd been working on it quite a bit.

That is indeed the case.

The two of them had done this many times before in the mountains, but back then neither of them had any money, so they could only catch rabbits or something in the mountains.

Once we had a picnic in the backyard.

They almost set the Celestial Master's Mansion on fire, and the old Celestial Master chased them up a hill with a broom.

Eating grilled skewers and drinking beverages.

Zhou Nan spoke again.

"I don't actually know much about the specifics."

"I only knew that this project was a direct collaboration with the provincial capital to build a large shopping mall. Everything was going well and construction was progressing smoothly, but just two months ago..."

"My dad suddenly fell ill, and it was a serious illness. At the time, I almost thought that old man was going to pass away and was even preparing to take over the family property and give you 30% of it."

Zhou Nan sighed regretfully and slapped his thigh.

"I never expected Old Deng to be so lucky. He was bedridden for more than half a month, and then one day he suddenly recovered. We brothers are just not destined to get rich."

Zhang Chuyu: "..."

Good brother.

I'm your dad, so I need to have another one now.

"After that, Old Deng found me and asked me to leave the country overnight. I was very confused at the time, so I asked him what was going on."

"That's when Old Deng said there was a problem with the project! He said they'd unearthed... an ancient tomb!"

"Some unclean things in that tomb have entangled him, and they might even target me as well. That's how I was sent out."
