"What are you afraid of?" Liu Yanyan grabbed Lu Mingfei's arm and pulled him back by the ear.

He straightened Lu Mingfei's clothes, which were somewhat disheveled from his panic, and wiped away the faint lipstick marks on his face. He took a few steps back, looked at him carefully, and nodded.

"Not bad, but I feel like something's missing?" Liu Yanyan rested her cheek on her hand, and Lu Ming's awkward expression suddenly dawned on him.

"Cheer up, don't lose face. Head up, chest out, stomach in, buttocks lifted." She patted Lu Mingfei one by one, forcing him to perk up.

After confirming that everything was normal, Liu Yanyan nodded in satisfaction.

"Come out when I call you."

Lu Mingfei nodded frantically, standing straight like a javelin.

The sound of footsteps echoed down the wooden stairs.

Liu Yanyan went to the living room, poured herself a glass of water, and took a sip to calm herself down, who was also feeling a little nervous.

Liu Xuefeng walked up the stairs, carrying a piece of cured meat in his hand, and first put the piece of cured meat in the kitchen.

He had just arrived in the living room when he saw his daughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Didn't you say you found a job near the school? You should be quite busy during the summer vacation. How come you have time to come home and visit without telling me beforehand? I'd like to get ready for a nice meal." Liu Xuefeng pulled up a chair and sat down, his muscles instantly relaxing as he let out a long sigh.

The smile seemed to be glued to his face, never stopping.

Because of his inheritance of the art of corpse driving, his relationship with his daughter has never been good. They often talk back to each other, get angry, and he frequently doesn't go home for holidays.

He came back suddenly this time hoping to salvage this broken family relationship.

Liu Yanyan fidgeted with the hem of her clothes before speaking, "I brought a friend."

"You're here for tourism, right? In this mountain valley, there are nothing but mountains. Only those city dwellers who have never seen mountains think about going to the mountains all the time. Your friend is quite shy," Liu Xuefeng said with a smile.

"Come here." Liu Yanyan went back to her room and pulled Lu Mingfei out.

Liu Xuefeng slowly took a sip of the herbal tea he had brewed that morning but hadn't had time to drink.

I saw a boy being pulled out of his daughter's room, and he seemed quite ashamed.

As the boy was pulled out a little, the smile on his face was flattened a bit. Until the boy was fully revealed, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he stared at the boy with a bitter expression.

"This is my dad," Liu Yanyan introduced.

"This is my friend Lu Mingfei."

"Hello, Uncle." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, not daring to face Liu Xuefeng, and even shrank back towards Liu Yanyan.

Even though Liu Xuefeng didn't say a word, Lu Mingfei could still feel the pressure emanating from him, as if it were a domineering aura from his bloodline, making Lu Mingfei want to stay away.

Even without asking, Liu Xuefeng knew who this boy was. He was already in his daughter's room, so who else could he be?

Fingers tapped rapidly on the solid wood tabletop, producing a "tap tap tap" sound.

The more he looked at this somewhat shy and timid boy, the more he disliked him. Even though the boy was dressed appropriately and his words were not offensive, he was genuinely annoyed and wanted to beat him up.

This anger escalated into rage; this nameless fury made his face even more grim.

His hand was already on his waist, ready to untie his Seven Wolves belt.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Liu Yanyan smiled, pulled Lu Mingfei from behind her to her side, and patted his back gently.

These words made Liu Xuefeng pause as he was about to unbuckle his belt. His gaze returned to his daughter, and upon seeing her smile, his expression completely changed, and he instantly burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll make your favorite cured pork right away." Liu Xuefeng smiled as he walked into the kitchen.

Liu Yanyan pulled Lu Mingfei to sit at the dining table in the living room.

“I have a feeling my uncle is going to kill me.” Lu Mingfei heard the clanging sound of chopping meat coming from the kitchen. He remembered that they had just been making cured meat, and the sound was like chopping bones.

"Don't worry."

After meeting the other party's parents, Lu Mingfei's anxiety not only did not ease, but became even greater.

Despite his efforts to impress, he lost in terms of presence the moment he appeared.

A dozen minutes later.

Liu Xuefeng came over carrying two bowls of rice and a plate of crystal-clear, dark-colored and transparent cured meat.

Even though Lu Mingfei is now sitting very upright, he is still very unlikable in his eyes.

He gently placed the cured meat and rice in front of Liu Yanyan, and tossed the packed rice in front of Lu Mingfei.

He came to the two of them, sat between them, and separated them.

Before he could even speak, Liu Yanyan, carrying the stir-fried cured meat and rice bowl, circled around halfway and returned to Lu Mingfei's side.

"..."

She was still trying to mend their relationship because her cotton-padded coat was drafty.

Somewhat disheartened, he began to observe Lu Mingfei, the culprit behind all of this.

His years of experience in corpse-driving, combined with his medical studies and miscellaneous tasks such as burial, have broadened his knowledge base. In traditional culture, some things are interconnected, and he has also learned a few techniques of physiognomy.

He carefully examined Lu Mingfei's face. Although Lu Mingfei tried his best to avoid eye contact with him, he couldn't avoid seeing his profile when talking to his daughter.

"My dad's stir-fried cured pork is pretty good, isn't it? I used to eat it all the time and it was fine, but I miss it when I'm away from home." Liu Yanyan picked up a piece of cured pork with alternating layers of fat and lean meat and put it into Lu Mingfei's bowl.

Lu Mingfei took a few bites. The taste was unique, with a slight chewiness, and the initial impression was quite good.

"Uncle's cooking is really good," he said, taking the opportunity to praise him.

"Hmm." Liu Xuefeng nodded, frowned slightly, and made an excuse to grab Lu Mingfei's hand and observe him carefully for a while.

After confirming it, his expression darkened.

He looked at Lu Mingfei again with deep hostility in his eyes.

He took a small, white worm from his rarely used pocket and flicked it onto Lu Mingfei's clothes.

Quietly await the Gu worm's actions.

Lu Mingfei suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He glanced at Liu Xuefeng, who was resting with his eyes closed, seemingly trying to avoid seeing him.

He put down his chopsticks and whispered something in Liu Yanyan's ear.

"Your dad is using a Gu poison on me, and a Gu worm is burrowing into my skin. Should I cooperate and make your uncle happy?"

"Are you stupid?!" Liu Yanyan continued, "Even a temporary worker couldn't break your mental barrier, so how could my dad, with just a tiny Gu worm, break through it?"

"Besides, he's happy, but I might be crying. Do you know what kind of poison he used? Some poisons can kill people."

Lu Mingfei stammered, "I thought I didn't need to be on guard all the time when meeting the parents, so I didn't use my telekinetic defense and felt quite safe. I didn't expect my uncle to be a bit hostile towards me, so I couldn't defend myself."

Liu Yanyan put down her chopsticks. Although the two people closest to her did not fight, they were fighting in a different way.

"Where is it located?"

Lu Mingfei pointed with his finger.

Liu Yanyan lifted Lu Mingfei's clothes and saw a plump white Gu worm trying to burrow into his flesh, but it couldn't get in no matter what it did and got stuck on the surface of his skin.

He pinched the Gu worm's body and channeled some Qi into it, which made the Gu worm docile.

"This is a Truth Gu, which can make ordinary people tell the truth." Liu Yanyan took the plump Gu worm off.

Liu Xuefeng realized that his Gu worm had not only failed to take root in Lu Mingfei's body, but had also been removed. He opened his eyes and saw Liu Yanyan standing up abruptly and placing the Truth Gu on the table.

"He finally made it here, why did you use a Gu poison on him?" Liu Yanyan questioned, pointing at the Gu worm.

Liu Xuefeng was surprised that his trick was exposed so quickly, especially by his own daughter. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

The relationship, which had just begun to ease, will be much more difficult to repair afterward.

Faced with the aggressive Liu Yanyan, he organized his thoughts.

You can't be with this kid named Lu Mingfei!

"Just by looking at his face, I can tell this guy is a womanizer. He must have more than two girls around him with whom he has close relationships. He might be two-timing you right now, using sweet talk and a cute appearance to deceive you and make you fall for his tricks. Once he gets bored, he'll dump you. I don't want to hurt you who have given me real feelings!"

"Besides, this guy is obviously not an ordinary person. With our abilities, we can't survive in the world of supernatural beings at all. He must have his own ulterior motives for approaching you. I can't just watch you be deceived. Even if it costs me my life, I will break his legs!"

Liu Xuefeng responded loudly to Liu Yanyan's question, attempting to awaken the rationality in Liu Yanyan's heart that had been clouded by love.

Liu Yanyan frowned, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to respond to her father.

“I…” Lu Mingfei’s gaze shifted back and forth between the arguing father and daughter.

Because of the argument between him and his daughter, he also knew what Liu Xuefeng meant by "bad peach blossoms".

I never imagined that coming to see my father-in-law would result in me becoming shorter because of a broken leg.

He ignored some of the facts.

He couldn't let her relationship with her father deteriorate.

"Me!" Lu Mingfei's face flushed red.

This sound attracted Liu Xuefeng's attention. He saw that Lu Mingfei, who looked frail, had suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, like a small mountain thrown at him. The powerful pressure made him press himself against the chair, and he was even a little breathless.

The pressure from Lu Mingfei standing up was even greater, and he even felt a chill down his spine.

It seemed as if Lu Mingfei was about to open his mouth, which seemed capable of killing him, at any moment.

"Uncle, if you break my leg, you can't hit her!" Lu Mingfei said in a very cowardly tone.

He stood up straight and stood in front of Liu Yanyan, who was speechless for a long time.

Then he rolled up his pants, lifted them up, and put them on the table.

Anyway, he can recover on his own. After his leg was broken, he can just recover.

"Go ahead and hit me!" He closed his eyes and turned to the side, looking resolute.

"Huh?!" Liu Xuefeng was completely dumbfounded.

The aura she just exuded was murderous, and the words she spoke were so incomprehensible that his mind went blank for a moment.

That fierce look of his actually only made him want to break his legs.

For a moment, I couldn't understand Lu Mingfei's thought process.

The three of them stood there stunned. Liu Xuefeng quickly finished dealing with Lu Mingfei's words and asked in return.

"Who's going to hit Yan Yan?"

"Not fighting?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused and scratched his head.
