Chapter 31: Corpse Change

  "This is the third year, if Xuan Yuan Qi still lived here, within half a year, he would definitely fall seriously ill. What's even more frightening is that if Ye Lan's corpse isn't handled soon, it will undergo rigor mortis, its fingernails will grow long, and its hair and teeth will also grow. By then, it will be difficult to control this 'yin' corpse."

  "What's to be done?"

  "The best way is to resolve Princess Yelan's grievance, then rebury her, and before that, remove the corpse energy from her body. It's really troublesome... Xuan Yuan Qi shouldn't have kept a corpse..."

  Later, I also learned from Xue Qiufeng that it was because I was a 'yin' fate of nine that I would resonate with the female corpse that absorbed 'yin' energy, and it was precisely because of this that she was willing to meet me.

  Back at the Wang Fu, Xuan Yuan Wu had already returned, his face didn't look very good, it seemed like things weren't going smoothly for him in the palace either. We told him about what happened at the Qi Wang Fu and also repeated what Xue Qiu Feng said, seeking his opinion.

  Xuanyuan Wu was still considering, Xuanyuan Qi hurried over and grabbed his shoulder: "Are you a brother? If you're a brother, help me out this time. You don't know how I feel about Ruolan... Ah! Anyway, as long as you help me this time, no matter what happens in the future, I, Xuanyuan Qi, will listen to Big Brother."

  "Do you want to take Ling Xue to your mansion?" Xuan Yuan Mu furrowed his brow "Are you using the safety of my woman to exchange for the cause of death of your woman? Do you think the dead are more important than the living?"

  "Xuanyuan Wu!" Xuanyuan Qi let out a loud shout, this was the first time I heard him directly call out Xuanyuan Wu's name, usually carefree and nonchalant, he also had times when he got angry.

  "Ling Xue, what's your take on this?" Xuan Yuan Mu looked at me.

  "I agree!"

  "What about your safety?" Xuan Yuan Mu was most worried about this.

  "I can guarantee it!" Xuan Yuanqi and Xue Qiufeng said in unison.

  Xuanyuan Qi's words I don't quite believe, but Xue Qiu Feng's abilities I have seen before, and they are still pretty good.

  Xuanyuan Mo paced back and forth in the room, extremely restless. He looked at me, then at Xuanyuan Qi, before saying: "Also prepare a secret room for me, I won't let my wife go on an adventure alone!"

  "Haha……good!" Xuan Yuan Qi finally smiled, and went forward to hug Xuan Yuan Mu: "Third brother, when did you become so devoted? I remember that in the past, you had many 'women', but you didn't care about any of them. How is it that little Mei Lingxue has made you fall for her?"

  "What are you talking nonsense?" Xuan Yuan Mu glared at Xuan Yuan Qi and then turned back to look at me cautiously.

  Next, everyone discussed how to deal with the female corpse. The goal was only one: to find out who killed her and resolve her grievances. Xuan Yuan Qi also agreed that as long as they found the murderer of Princess Ruolan, they would let her rest in peace.

  Arriving at the Qi Wang Fu, Li Guan Jia arranged our accommodations. Xuan Yuan Mu looked around my room and nodded: "Not bad, the bed is big enough."

  "Hehe!" Xuan Yuanqi said: "Then I don't need to find a secret residence for you anymore, do I?"

  Xuanyuan gave him a sideways glance and ignored him.

  Xue Qiufeng followed Guan's lead to examine the feng shui of the Qi Wang Fu, deciding to make a move when the 'yin' energy was at its weakest on the first day.

  The specific method is to lead out the female corpse, and then try to make my breath the same as hers, so that I can understand what she wants to express.

  It's easy to talk about, but it's actually very difficult. After all, the female corpse is not our friend, and she's a dead body with deep resentment, unable to speak. It's hard for me to understand her cause of death, and if I'm not careful, she might try to harm me, which would be troublesome.

  Tomorrow is the first day of the month, and the Qi Wang Fu has made preparations. First, some of the maidservants in the mansion were given a holiday and dismissed, then the guards were ordered to closely guard the main gate. The flower garden was also designated as a forbidden area, where no one was allowed to enter or exit. Xuan Yuan Wu even arranged for dead soldiers to protect us.

  Xuanyuan Qi, Xuanyuan Mu, and Xue Qiu Feng are ready. First, they want to check if Princess Lan's corpse has undergone a transformation, which means the corpse can grow like a human being, growing hair and teeth, and its aura will also increase with time.

  Xuanyuan Qi may be able to raise corpses, but after all, he is not a Taoist and has not learned any Taoist techniques. He simply follows the steps for raising corpses and provides what is needed, while the rest of the corpse's need for 'yin' energy accumulation is achieved through the feng shui of the courtyard. Therefore, in the entire process of raising corpses, the effect of feng shui is greater than that of the things needed.

  Tomorrow is the first day of school, we sat around the table eating and discussing our plan.

  "Snow sister, tomorrow you must not be afraid no matter what. I'll tie the Bagua mirror to your chest, and if things don't look good, just turn the mirror on your chest over. Female corpses and yin ghosts are all afraid of that thing, it can protect you." Xue Qiufeng said while eating with big mouthfuls, as if he was afraid someone would snatch away the delicious food and wine.

  "Why does it have to be Ling Xue? You, Xuan Yuan Qi, have so many 'female' disciples in your courtyard, and for such a long time, haven't you ever tried anyone else?" Xuan Yuan Mu frowned, sipping his tea, still not at ease with me.

  "Hey! She's been in our yard for three years, not even a ghost has made trouble, the pond is so deep that no one has drowned to death, you say it's strange or not. But Mei Lingxue, as soon as she came here, two such things happened."

  "If it were someone with a different fate, they would be even easier to deal with than Snow Sister." Xue Qiufeng said with his mouth full of food.

  "What kind of fate?" Xuan Yuan Mu asked together with Xuan Yuan Qi, I was also full of curiosity, I originally had a Nine Yin fate, belonging to the most yin fate, could there be an even more yin fate than mine?

  "This is a rare 'yin' destiny, and women with this destiny can communicate with ghosts. If such a woman were to be kept as a concubine by someone, even the King of Ghosts would have to show her respect." Xue Qiufeng took a sip of wine and said, "Of course, my master has never seen anyone with this destiny before, it's a once-in-a-thousand-years rare destiny."

  "Have you guys heard of a zombie-raising story?" Xue Qiufeng's eyes sparkled.

  "What story?" Xuan Yuanqi and Xue Qiufeng stared at each other, one asking and the other answering, indeed "temperaments" in sync.

  "A long time ago, a man's wife died, and she was pregnant. The man didn't want to leave his wife, so he dug a big hole in the yard of his own home, where yin energy gathered, and put her body inside. On the first and fifteenth of every month, he would offer sacrifices to her corpse using his own blood. Three years later, one evening, the man was resting in his room when he suddenly heard a knock at the door. He got out of bed to open it, and saw a small child, about two or three years old, smiling at him. He welcomed the child into his home and made food for him, but the child wouldn't eat, just kept smiling at him. Later, after several days had passed, people found only white bones left of the man in his own home!"

  "Why?" Xuan Yuan exclaimed in surprise.
