After her master's death, the metaphysics genius Lin Xi descends the mountain to set up a stall for fortune-telling, earning money while searching for her fiancé.
"Master, when will m...
Xu Wenlong lay quietly on the ground, motionless.
Xu Yuan panicked and reached out to help, but his limbs were stiff and he couldn't bend his arms.
She jumped up and down on the spot, silently calling for her father.
With each movement, the flesh churns and twists.
The stench in the air grew stronger, and the air freshener was almost too much for it to handle.
Lin Xi retreated to the doorway. "Stop jumping. If you jump again, your dad will be suffocated by the stench."
Stop making a wish and slowly turn your head.
Huh? This girl isn't afraid of her at all.
She skipped and hopped towards the door, "Hooray—!"
Please save my father...
Xu Yuan's body had long since rotted away, emitting a foul stench even in the sweltering summer heat, more terrifying than a zombie.
Lin Xi quickly called out, "Stand still, don't come any closer."
Xu Yuan knew she wasn't pretty, so she obediently leaned against the corner.
Lin Xi pulled Xu Wenlong up from the ground and gently tapped his forehead.
Xu Wenlong slowly awoke, still in a daze, and unconsciously called out, "Yuanyuan..."
Oh right, he's currently at the funeral home looking for his daughter's body; a particularly gruesome corpse has come back to life.
Xu Yuan raised his hand with difficulty and waved.
Dad, look over here!
A highly decomposed corpse came into view, and Xu Wenlong gasped.
My head is spinning, and I feel like I'm about to faint again.
Lin Xi patted him on the shoulder. "This is Xu Yuan, your daughter."
Xu Yuan tried to put on a big smile, but she had been dead for too long, her face was already stiff, and her mouth twitched slightly, making her look extremely eerie.
Xu Wenlong's eyes widened, a breath catching in his throat, "Yuanyuan?!"
Xu Yuan nodded and shouted excitedly.
Dad, it's me, please don't doubt it.
Xu Wenlong paused for a long time before stammering, "Master, what's wrong with my daughter...?"
Lin Xi explained, "After Xu Yuan died, her soul did not go to the underworld, but stayed in the human world and attached to her own corpse. She had unfulfilled wishes."
Make a wish to take a step forward, and desperately use your hands and feet to express your meaning.
In Xu Wenlong's eyes, a corpse suddenly started dancing, baring its teeth and claws, as if it were going mad.
Lin Xi is simply unbearable to look at; she's too ugly.
She threw out a yellow talisman.
Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then fell straight to the ground, and a transparent soul floated out.
Xu Wenlong asked, "Master, what's wrong with Yuanyuan?"
"Revert her to her soul state." Lin Xi gathered spiritual energy at her fingertips and quickly drew a Heavenly Eye Talisman on his forehead.
When Xu Wenlong opened his eyes again, everything had changed.
A white soul floated in the air, weeping, "Daddy, Daddy, waaaah..."
This is his daughter, Xu Yuan.
"Yes, yes!"
"dad!"
The two rushed toward each other at the same time, but Xu Yuan passed through Xu Wenlong's body and stared blankly ahead.
Xu Wenlong hurriedly turned around, "Master, why can't I find Yuanyuan?"
Lin Xi explained helplessly, "She's dead. What you saw was Xu Yuan's soul. Say what you have to say quickly, because we have to go to the underworld before dark."
Xu Wenlong wept, “Yuanyuan, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t see you one last time and I even lost your body.”
Xu Yuan shook her head, "No, it's my fault..."
My mother passed away early, and my father was always busy with his business.
She was unconventional from a young age, and her behavior became increasingly eccentric as she grew up, with a penchant for going against the grain.
She does things that others won't do.
She doesn't do what others do.
Xu Yuan is a big fan of extreme sports, including bungee jumping, car racing, rock climbing, and the kind of thrills he enjoys.
The car accident was indeed an accident. She had drunk a little alcohol that day and drove her sports car in the middle of the night.
She was driving at extremely high speed and wasn't wearing a seatbelt. She accidentally crashed into the guardrail, smashed her head through the windshield, and died instantly.
Xu Yuan sighed, "I deserved to die. I have no one to blame but myself. I never expected my body to be touched..."
She developed a strong obsession with not seeing her father before she died.
I want to see Dad, I have so much to say to him...
Perhaps that's why the souls that made wishes lingered in the world, never leaving.
Her consciousness remained hazy. One night, she saw a man lift a white sheet and his hands wander insidiously over the corpse.
"Ah~ This corpse's skin is so bouncy, just the right smell~ I like it."
"She's the most beautiful corpse I've ever seen. Her limbs are intact, and the lividity is perfect. Ah, she's so beautiful!"
Xu Yuan immediately became angry.
Holy crap! That's a total pervert!
No one dared to touch her while she was alive, yet she suffered such torment after death!
She attached herself to her own corpse, scaring away the pervert.
Xu Yuan looked around; something was wrong with this place.
Five stinking corpses, both male and female, were laid out on the wooden bed; she was the sixth.
That man was indeed a pervert; he liked collecting corpses.
I wished to go out and see the world, but the sunlight scared me back.
She couldn't go out during the day, so she had to wait until night.
At night, she wandered around the area; this was a funeral home.
The father probably wanted to cremate her; her body was switched by a pervert.
Xu Yuan tried many methods, such as scaring the curator and appearing in her father's dreams, but none of them worked.
During this time, she encountered an even stranger man, who terrified her so much that she dared not leave the cabin, hoping day and night that her father would come to rescue her.
Xu Wenlong felt extremely guilty after hearing this. "Yuanyuan, you've suffered so much. Dad will take you away right away and we'll go to another funeral home."
Xu Yuan cried and said, "Dad, it doesn't matter. Even if I die, you have to take good care of yourself from now on. Don't work late into the night, and don't earn as much money. Your health is the most important thing."
With tears in his eyes, Xu Wenlong agreed, instinctively touching her head, his fingers piercing through her soul.
Yuan Yuan is dead; his daughter is gone forever.
Xu Wenlong was heartbroken and couldn't control his emotions. "Yuanyuan, take good care of yourself in the underworld. If you need anything, tell your father in a dream and I'll burn it for you."
Xu Yuan couldn't help but cry, "Okay, Dad."
She only realized how much her father loved her after she died; he had just been too busy and they hadn't spent enough time together.
Xu Yuan was filled with regret; he shouldn't have drunk and raced.
This life has been too short; I haven't yet repaid my father for raising me.
"Waaah, Daddy, I'm sorry."
"Don't cry, Yuanyuan, there's nothing to apologize for..."
The two wept bitterly. Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Xi reminded them, "Come out first, the smell inside is awful."
“Okay, Master.” Xu Wenlong introduced as he walked, “This is the master I invited. She will send you to the underworld later.”
Xu Yuan bowed and greeted, "Hello, Master."
He's a master at such a young age, while she's only good at eating, sleeping, and racing cars at this age.
Lin Xi waved her hand. "Now that things are clear, I'll open the gates to the underworld. You can go to the underworld to report for duty yourself."
"Wait, Master!" Xu Yuan glanced around and lowered his voice, "Besides the pervert who steals corpses, there's another strange man."
"He carries a gun and wanders around the cemetery every night. This guy is definitely suspicious!"
