Chapter 64 Dinner is served!

"Thank you, sir."

After a long silence, Zhu Wen spoke.

Although Hou Feng looked somewhat displeased, it was clear that he was still a little resentful of Lu Cheng. After all, no one wants to be assigned to serve someone with a lower cultivation level than themselves, but being straightforward by nature, he didn't say anything.

At least for everyone present, this should be the best ending, whether it's Cuiying, the three of them, or ———

The Taoist Master lay on the ground, burned to a crisp.

Well, reuniting with my junior brother might not be such a bad thing.

Looking at Cuiying, who had already committed suicide, he felt a mix of emotions and was in a state of turmoil. Under the influence of this environment, countless ordinary people had been forced into becoming evil spirits, and many foreign forces were trying their best to incite them. How could he not be furious?

The key issue is that he will have to actively seek out each of them in the future to destroy all the refined corpses. He simply cannot imagine what he will see then.

He took the initiative to step forward and reach out to Cuiying, who had already bled to death. This scene frightened Zhu Wen quite a bit, as he thought Lu Cheng was going to whip the corpse to vent his anger.

"Young Master, Young Master Lu!"

"No, absolutely not! Although you were almost killed by this woman, and she is indeed extremely hateful, at least she did not openly violate the laws of my Great Yue. The people she killed were all girls who had signed indentures with her in the Drunken Spring Pavilion."

"Letting her commit suicide is already the limit. If we further desecrate her corpse to vent our anger, the mortician will immediately notice something amiss, and then we'll all be in trouble."

"If you're really angry, just kick it a few times, but don't hurt anyone—"

They still couldn't stop them.

A burst of spiritual energy flashed through his fingertips, sealing the wound. He then combed Cuiying's hair slightly and cleaned up the bloodstains and dust on her body, making her look at least a little more presentable.

They untied the clothes and professionally wrapped the body layer by layer from the four corners, finally binding it tightly behind the body with their backs.

"Phew, that works. Let's go."

He shook his head at Zhu Wen.

This scene surprised both of them, but they quickly looked at each other and remembered why, and couldn't help but laugh.

"This... I've forgotten what profession you were in before joining the Demon Suppression Division."

Zhu Wen's tone remained as polite as ever.

"That's right. I have professional ethics. I can't stand seeing people's bodies left to rot in the wilderness. Even if they can't return to their ancestral home, I should at least give them a proper place so that the deceased can look somewhat dignified."

"This matter is ultimately the result of our Demon Suppression Division's own actions, and now we're reaping what we sowed—oh, it has nothing to do with me personally, I hadn't even joined the Demon Suppression Division back then."

,

"Why are you all making those faces?"

The two looked embarrassed.

Seeing Lu Cheng's puzzled expression, they really couldn't speak, because the whole thing was a chain reaction of the dereliction of duty by the Zhennan Pass garrison commander. Even if it had nothing to do with them, they couldn't escape the responsibility for lax management.

"I didn't mean anything to you, don't worry, I'm not that petty."

They immediately realized what was happening and were both amused and exasperated.

"We three will be working together for a while in the future, so why should we hold a grudge over such a small matter? When we go out to slay demons and monsters together, we will need the help of you two brothers."

"Even if there is no Thirteenth Banner in the future, I will still say a few good words for my brothers in front of Master Ji and Lord Huang, so that their future will not be ruined by being implicated."

Even Hou Feng, who is usually hot-tempered, fell silent.

They knew this was a gesture of goodwill, but they hadn't expected Lu Cheng to go to such lengths. Only now did the two of them truly begin to consider the olive branch extended by the young man, and they nodded earnestly.

"Thank you, young master."

Seeing that the two had stopped thinking about what had happened before, Lu Cheng carried Cuiying's body toward Lian Daozi and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Where were we? Oh, professional ethics. This woman is, after all, the owner of a brothel. Maybe we can make some money by taking her back."

"How come your mouth is even harder than mine?"

Hou Feng muttered to himself, realizing that this young master was a soft-hearted person despite his tough exterior. As a result, Zhu Wen immediately glared at him.

"Young Master Lu, why don't we remove this corpse—"

Crack!

Without saying a word, he grabbed the charred leg of the Daoist and yanked it hard, tearing it off.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Cough, no need. I've already told you I'm a professional corpse dragger, don't try to steal my business."

He casually tossed the severed leg away like trash; this discriminatory treatment was eye-opening.

"Didn't you just say you couldn't stand seeing corpses exposed? —"

"Oh, it's not a person."

""

He kicked it casually.

Based on what he saw in Lianxuzi's memories, this person was even worse than him, and had even used the matter of returning to life to deceive many ignorant people. Moreover, this matter was inextricably linked to him.

Good riddance, you idiot.

With his back ramrod straight, carrying one on his back and dragging another in his hand, the weight was nothing to Lu Cheng. Without giving Zhu and Hou a chance to help, he saw a cliff in front of him and jumped straight down!

The journey was terrifying for the two brothers, who were afraid that Lu Cheng might accidentally kill them. However, after successfully reaching the second realm, Lu Cheng's physical condition improved to a new level.

They traversed the hills and forests, arriving at Jingnan City in less than half an hour. Even Hou Feng and Zhu Wen had to put in some effort to catch up with him.

"Goodness, this young master is really something. He ran for more than ten miles without even breaking a sweat."

"Speak less, do more, and accompany him on a few more trips. No matter the outcome, this young master is a benefactor to us brothers."

Hou Feng and Zhu Wen whispered to each other the whole way, but Lu Cheng took the initiative to stand in front of Jingnan City and turn back instead of continuing forward.

"Old Zhu, Old Hou, please tell Lord Huang the details of this matter. I won't go with you."

"this----"

Seemingly noticing the brothers' hesitation, Lu Cheng immediately explained, "Oh, because I'm carrying a corpse."

"According to the rules of Jingnan City, I have to enter the city through Corpse Dragging Alley. Otherwise, do you think I'd drag this thing around on the street of the Demon Suppression Division?"

"It's not good to frighten the children. I'll put them in the morgue later. Please inform the colonist and have him come over."

A sudden realization flashed in his eyes.

Without much doubt in his heart, he cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Cheng and then parted ways. The young man always had a gentle and confident smile on his face, and the smile did not disappear even after the two people had gone far away.

"Have they gone far away?"

'

He tentatively uttered this sentence.

Seeing that there was no one around and that it was still more than a mile away from the Corpse-Dragging Alley, Lu Cheng didn't say a word and directly flipped the Refining Dao Seed he was dragging over and smashed it on the ground!

The flies were rubbing their hands together frantically, their expressions filled with excitement.

"Damn it, it's been almost half a month, and I can finally have a decent meal."

"Dinner's ready!"
