Translator: 549690339

Xu Yang stepped in, and with just a few words, everything was settled!

Ma Zhongguo and his wife’s gaze towards Xu Yang changed a bit.

Before, they had always treated Xu Yang as a junior, bur at this moment, there was a bit of inexplicable awe deep in their eyes!

Ma Zhongguo left the underground garage, and soon found five workers for them to cut open the concrete.

“Mr. Ma!”

“Why don’t you call the firefighters, we really don’t dare!”

“Nonsense, how can we bother firefighters with this kind of thing? A 2000 dollars bonus for each of you, once it’s done, you’re allowed three days off and your work will be recorded!”

“Mr. Ma, it’s not about the money, it’s just that there really is a ghost…”

At this moment, the female ghost had hidden her figure, and the workers couldn’t see her, but it was precisely because they couldn’t see her that they were even more afraid!

“Don’t worry, you’re helping her family open the door, she won t blame you.”

“Really, Daoist Master?”

“Hurry up and get the cutter, Master has spoken, it’ll definitely be fine!”

Xu Yang spoke, and only then did the workers put their minds at ease.

Soon, someone brought the tools, connected the electricity, and started cutting the concrete. Quickly, the place that the female ghost had drawn was cut open.

“You guys go get rhe shovels, dig out the coffin, and afterwards, the concrete can be recast.”

Xu Yang began directing.

As the workers dug deeper, the female ghost standing beside Xu Yang became nervous and bit her finger, shouting, “Slow down, slow down… don’t hurt my Phoebe zhennan coffin!”

With her shouting, the workers felt shivers up their spines, not knowing how to proceed with the shovels in their hands.

Xu Yang was astonished, “My goodness… a Phoebe zhennan coffin, that’s not cheap, looks like you come from a wealthy family in your life!”

“Of course!”

The female ghost said proudly, “My family has been in business for generations, amassing great wealth… I even studied abroad.”

“No wonder you can afford a Phoebe zhennan coffin!”

Xu Yang had a funeral store, and although he didn’t sell coffins, he was familiar with them.

Nowadays, there are generally three types of coffins.

1’he first is ordinary solid wood, which is cheap and practical. However, this type of coffin is not resistant to decay. After being buried underground for more than a decade, rhe coffin rots.

The second type is cypress wood, which has some resistance to decay.

The third type is sandalwood, which is considered high-quality with strong resistance to decay, but also has a hefty price rag.

In addition, there are Phoebe zhennan coffins!

In the past, this kind of thing was only affordable for aristocrats. Nowadays, a Phoebe zhennan coffin costs several hundred thousand dollars as a starting price. The better ones can cost over a million.

In 2001, a coffin made of extremely precious Phoebe zhennan was unearthed in the Zhe Province, which belonged to rhe Southern Song dynasty minister Shi Songzhi, and reportedly weighed over 1500 kg. With the current market price of the Phoebe zhennan wood, the coffin was worth more than 200 million dollars!

Soon.

The coffin was dug out.

Xu Yang asked, “What do you plan to do?”

“Should I temporarily place the coffin on the construction site and choose a good day to send it to the cemetery… or should I move it directly to my house?” The female ghost was somewhat cautious, “Daoist Master, are you coveting my Phoebe zhennan coffin?”

She flew out and guarded the coffin, “This coffin is my home; if you want to take it, you’ll have to step over my dead body first.”

“If I really wanted to take your coffin, wouldn’t it be enough to kill you first?”

Xu Yang couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Upon further thought, it seemed that the female ghost had a point.

Xu Yang asked Ma Zhongguo to arrange for a vehicle to transport the coffin to his funeral store.

There were plenty of pickup trucks on the construction site, so that wouldn’t be a problem.

Soon.

The coffin was lifted onto the truck.

The female ghost was worried that her precious coffin would be damaged, so she transformed into a wisp of Yin energy and entered the coffin.

Xu Yang then got into his own car.

As soon as he started the engine, Ma Long knocked on the window from outside.

Xu Yang rolled down the window and asked, “What’s up?”

“Old Xu, thank you!”

“We re practically brothers, so don’t mention it.”

Ma Long grinned at Xu Yang’s words, but then his tone changed, and he whispered, “Old Xu, are you really planning on raking this female ghost home? Well… We’re brothers, so I’ll be frank with you!”

“I know you have some… unique interests, but still, you already have a ghost at home. Have you asked her about bringing this one back?”

Xu Yang was speechless and smiled bitterly, “I’m just taking her home for a few days… Or should I leave her on your construction site?”

“No, no, no…”

As soon as Ma Long heard this, he immediately backed down> “Alright, alright, just go home and remember to drive slowly on the way.”

At first, Xu Yang didn’t think much about it.

However…

As they got closer to the burial shop, he couldn’t help but recall what Ma Long had said.

Right!

What if the Ghost King in my home is nor pleased when 1 bring this female ghost back?

She is the Ghost King, after all!

Wouldn’t she just eat this one in one bite?

“What if…”

“I rent her a place outside first?”

“But it’s almost midnight, where can 1 rent a place now?”

“Damn… why did 1 even think of that?”

“The burial shop is my home, and 1 am free to bring whoever I want… Lady

Ghost just lives there; she is not the mistress of the house! ”

Soon after.

They arrived at the burial shop.

Xu Yang parked rhe car outside the shop and waited for about two minutes before the pickup truck carrying the phoebe coffin arrived.

The female ghost flew out of the coffin and landed beside Xu Yang, instructing him, “Be careful, be careful… Don’t bump it, handle it gently…¹‘

Once the coffin was safely placed, the men who had delivered it fled as if they were flying.

Seeing that no one was around, Xu Yang reached out and touched the coffin…

Whoosh!

The coffin instantly disappeared.

“Where’s my precious phoebe coffin?”

The female ghost was immediately anxious.

“I put it away.”

Xu Yang waved his hand again, and rhe phoebe coffin reappeared as if by magic.

After showing ir off, he pur the coffin away again before taking our the keys, opening the rolling shutter, and asking, “By the way, lady, may 1 know your name?”

Although the female ghost was from the Republic of Da Xia period, according to her, she had studied abroad.

In that era, she was a progressive “new generation woman” with an open mind. She said openly, “My family name is Yang, and my given name is Yin.¹¹

“Yang Ying?”

“It’s the “Yin’ from ’lush grass.’

He opened the rolling shutter.

Xu Yang fumbled for the light switch and turned it on.

Then…

He felt a chill all over his body, as a cold Yin wind blew through the burial shop.

When he looked up, he saw the Ghost King floating at the entrance of rhe srairs, staring coldly at him… and Yang Yin behind him.

Yang Yin:

She was terrified.

Her body shaking nonstop, her pale, delicate face filled with shock as she looked at the figure at rhe entrance of the srairs!

“The Ghost King!”

“This energy… It’s definitely the Ghost King!”

“There’s a Ghost King living in the Daoist Master’s house?!?”

As for Xu Yang.

For some reason, he felt a little embarrassed and nervous, as if he had been caught flirting by his main partner. He immediately said, “Lady Ghost…”

Before he could finish saying “Lady Ghost,” the graceful figure at the entrance of the stairs turned and floated away!

“Lady Ghost!”

“Let me explain!”

Xu Yang hurried up the stairs!
