Chapter 52: One Corpse, Two Lives, Golden Token as Heavy as a Mountain

  "Brother Ning..."

  Shu Bailin wanted to speak but hesitated.

  Ning Feng shook his head and didn't say anything.

  Behind the courtyard, a small garden, neatly arranged potted plants, not some rare and precious varieties, but well taken care of, either in full bloom or about to bloom, even the green branches stand proudly with their heads held high.

  Looking at them, it's easy to imagine the meticulous female owner humming a tune every morning, watering them pot by pot.

  Standing in the midst of it all, I felt a gentle breeze and a sense of comfort. Everyone's faces were filled with confusion, unsure of how to react to what had just happened.

  "Is it human?"

  Shu Bailin spoke cautiously.

  Ning Feng rolled her eyes, isn't this a waste of words?

  "Monster?"

  "Ghosts?"

  "Is it... an undead?"

  In the end, Shu Bailian vomited by herself after making wild guesses.

  Undead, also known as living corpse, is a dead person who, driven by obsession, can still move and act like when they were alive.

  These undead creatures are usually physically rotten and decaying, but appear just like they did when they were alive due to the effects of dark magic. Shu Bairong thought that if the person he had just faced was an undead creature, then the unclean thoughts and unspeakable scenes that appeared in his mind would be nauseating.

  Ning Feng didn't even bother to roll his eyes and said in a bad mood: "The anger on her body is more intense than yours."

  He wasn't talking nonsense, after entering the beginner stage of Taiyang Method and guiding the breath into his body to enter the Qi Cultivation Stage, he was indeed making rapid progress in this matter. Due to this mission being outside, it hadn't started yet, but the wonders of Taiyang Method had already begun to manifest.

  Being sensitive to anger is one of them.

  The sun is the root of life for all things in the world, and it is naturally extremely sensitive to the vital energy.

  "That's good, that's good."

  Shu Bailin obviously trusted Ning Feng's judgment very much, and as soon as he heard the words, he immediately turned around, didn't say a word, and kept looking back with a reluctant expression.

  Ning Feng didn't even bother to respond to this stubborn, unrepentant guy who only remembered the good times and not the bad ones. He stroked his chin, lost in thought.

  Troublesome.

  His eyebrows furrowed involuntarily as he thought: "What does Master actually mean?"

  Ning Feng couldn't help but ponder this point.

  A golden sun symbol goes out easily, but the consequences it causes cannot be changed again.

  "Master wants me to get rid of her?"

  What appeared in Ning Feng's mind was the first time he saw Mu Furen, she held her big belly, full of maternal serenity, and her whole body seemed to be emitting a soft glow.

  "Even if Madame Mu is a demon, the infant in her womb..."

  Ning Feng gritted his teeth and hesitated, unable to make a decision.

  "Is this really what Master wants me to know?"

  This is purely speculative, and as for whether Tiānyúnzi would nod in approval or curse with a bloody head if he knew, only heaven knows.

  Time slipped away in the face-to-face confrontation between the two, and before Ningfeng could make a decision, "creak" sounded, the door opened, and Mu Furen came out wearing new clothes, looking refreshed.

  Her hair was moist, and the refreshing scent of soap could be smelled from far away, as if she were a water lily emerging from a bath. If not for what had happened before her bath, it would have been impossible to associate her with the words "demon" or "monster".

  Ning Feng and Shu Bailin exchanged a glance, nodded, and followed closely behind.

  In the front yard, in the master bedroom of the Mu family, Mu Li paced back and forth with a furrowed brow. Mrs. Mu pushed open the door and entered.

  The two of them employed their old tactics again and found a window that wasn't fully closed to peek inside.

  "This is the second time, are we here to steal?"

  Ning Feng shook his head in self-mockery, and a commotion came from inside the house.

  "Ma'am, are you alright?"

  Mu Li saw Mrs. Mu enter and hastily went up to support her nervously.

  Mrs. Mu shook her head, her face was still a bit pale, but her smile was warm and radiant, she smiled while stretching out her hand to stroke Mu Li's face.

  Suddenly, her hand stopped in mid-air, and she dodged to one side of her head.

  "Madam, I have something to ask you."

  Mu Li hesitated and asked slowly: "Eight months ago, when you returned from visiting your relatives, you wore a yellow goose-colored clothes and said that you had fallen and there was blood on your back."

  "Do you remember? You stopped me from finding a doctor and then told me that I was pregnant."

  Mrs. Mu's pale lips, with a faint scar above them, moved slowly as she nodded her head, and then turned away unnaturally, saying: "Husband, I won't be better by the day after tomorrow, will I? You've seen it, haven't you?"

  "I myself know it's just a minor injury, so I didn't let you call a doctor."

  Mu shook his head and said, "What about just now?"

  "Just now?" Mrs. Mu was slightly surprised, her eyes wide with wonder as she stared at her husband.

  "I just saw it."

  Mu pointed behind Mu's wife and said: "There is blood on your back, in the same position as that day..."

  "Where is it."

  Mrs. Mu smiled unnaturally and spun around in a circle, laughing: "Husband, don't you think I'm doing very well?"

  She turned around, Mu Li was still worried and reached out to hold her hand.

  "But... but..."

  Mu Li couldn't shake off the feeling, Xu's words, what he had seen, scene after scene confirmed it, looking at his wife who was as precious as a treasure, yet felt an inexplicable sense of fear and strangeness.

  The person who shares the same bed every morning and evening, how could Mu's wife not see it? She lowered her head, then raised it again, smiled and said: "Husband, you just had a hallucination, don't believe me if you look."

  From Ning Feng and Shu Baili's angle, they clearly saw a flush rise to Mrs. Mu's face as she turned her body away from Mu Li, slowly unbuttoning her clothes.

  "No way..."

  "Off with it!"

  Ning Feng and Shu Bailin swallowed a mouthful of saliva at the same time, this scene was a bit familiar.

  Mrs. Mu's top slipped down, stuck at her waist, revealing shoulders as sharp as a knife cut, a concave spine in the middle, skin as smooth as jade, perfect and flawless.

  She didn't know if she was cold or shy, but her skin broke out in goosebumps, and then turned pink, shrinking back slightly.

  "Husband..."

  She called out softly, and Shu Baili's eyes were dazed, almost responding.

  Just a little bit short.

  If Ning hadn't reacted quickly, he would have slapped this guy's mouth shut, pulled him down and made him leave the window to clear his head, and that would have been a big deal.

  I'd rather not be the first direct disciple of the Sun God Temple to get caught peeking into the inner chambers, that would be a notorious record in the history of cultivation, something that would make me hang my head in shame for generations to come, let's leave that kind of thing to someone else.

  He had just wiped the sweat from his hand when he heard a hesitant voice coming from inside the room: "But... but how could your injury possibly heal that quickly?"

  "There's no reason why one day is better than another."

  Upon hearing this, Ning Feng nodded his head. Shu Bailin struggled free from his grasp and commented, "Not too stupid after all."

  "It's just a minor injury."

  Mrs. Mu softly responded, and one could imagine that she was now holding her belly, furrowing her brow, in a posture that made it impossible for anyone to bear asking her questions.

  "But..."

  Mu Li wanted to say something else, but suddenly a painful cry came from the house.

  "Ow! My stomach hurts."

  Ning Feng and Shu Baili suddenly stood up from the ground and looked inside from the window.

  At first glance, Ning Feng finally put his mind at ease. He was afraid that Mu Furen would still be in the "demonstrating with her body" rhythm, and it would be impossible to talk about not watching what shouldn't be seen.

  At this moment, Mrs. Mu clutched her belly and fell softly to the ground, panting in pain.

  "Madam, please be patient, I'll go find Old Lady Li right away."

  Mu Li panicked and forgot everything he had just asked, rushing out the door while shouting "Old Madam" repeatedly.

  He panicked, but Ning Feng and Shu Baili were not panicked at all.

  It's really impossible to be anxious, can't worry, Mu Li couldn't see the two of them but saw it was true, Mrs. Mu rolled on the ground with a sly look in her eyes.

  "Oh, fairy."

  Shu Bairui's emotional evaluation.

  Ning Feng nodded in agreement.

  Using this trick on Mu Li, you'll succeed 100 times out of 100. Even the pregnant daughter-in-law at home is rolling on the ground, what "but" are you talking about?

  "Let's go."

  Ning Feng watched as Mu Li escorted Mrs. Li into the house in a flurry, supporting and caring for her, shook his head, and quietly left with Shu Bailing.

  They can already imagine what will happen next without even looking.

  It's all over.

  It seems that Mrs. Mu has used this trick on Mu Li before, and it's definitely not the first time.

  Out of the wooden house, I found another inconspicuous small stall, selling lamb kidneys, paired with a little wine, in the gentle breeze of the night, not bad for an enjoyment.

  The two of them didn't have much appetite, Shu Bailin had been holding it in for a while and couldn't help but ask: "Ning brother, when do you plan on making your move?"

  "Are you going to make a move?"

  The wind does not stop at yes or no, and asks a question in return.

  "With that golden seal!" Shu Bailin's face was urgent, making people suspect he would jump onto the chair, one hand still making a gesture of pinching a seal with two fingers.

  With a sidelong glance, it always seems as if the pickpocket is hiding in the crowd, the prostitute is unbuttoning her pants, either lewd or lustful.

  "What a talent."

  Ning Feng sighed and said, "To be able to perform the 'Great Brightness' hand technique of the Xianjia's Release Talisman so skillfully, how can he not be considered a talented person?"

  Thanks to his interruption, Ning Feng's mood became much lighter.

  "Take another look."

  Ning Feng hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Let's wait another day, no need to rush, can't be impatient."

  "One corpse, two lives."

  These four words were as heavy as Mount Tai, Shu Bailin opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything in opposition, so he could only down a glass of wine with a sullen face.

  At that time, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds, as if it also didn't want to face these four words, this choice.

  A night without words.

  The next day, Ning Feng stayed in the inn and continued to ponder things, letting Shu Bailin continue to investigate.

  Since he can't even make a choice, staying in the Mu Manor is also useless.

  Ning Feng took advantage of this rare leisure time to recall the Sun Method's technique for guiding Qi into the body during the Qi-refining stage, repeatedly rehearsing it in his mind and reenacting it in his imagination.

  As time went on, a sudden urge to start practicing burst out more and more.

  If it weren't for the occasion and time being so utterly inappropriate, he would have started right away.

  In the late afternoon, Ning Feng was just about to go out for a bite to eat, thinking that yesterday's lamb kidney was quite good. "Bang" - the door was pushed open and Shu Bailian rushed in, panting heavily.

  Something's happened.
