Su Nian lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.

The strands of hair on his forehead obscured his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

Qian Shudie's heart also tightened.

After a long while, a smile curved the corners of Su Nian's lips.

"I think it's good to be put in a coffin."

"Uh..." Mo Rouyun was stunned.

As she expected, Su Nian shouldn't refuse her suggestion.

She watched Su Nian grow up; this child is the most sentimental. How could she be so cold and unrecognizable now?

“Nian’er… I know you’re heartbroken right now, but entering the bridal chamber was also Shudie’s obsession in life…”

"Respect for the dead is paramount, Fourth Elder. Let's put him in the coffin. Stop messing with the books and discs." Su Nian sighed, her face full of worry. "If we don't put him in the coffin soon, his body will start to rot!"

Qian Shudie was startled upon hearing this.

She quickly sniffed the air, but couldn't smell anything.

That shouldn't be the case. My skin is in great condition after being cleansed by the spring water of the fairy realm. It's impossible for it to smell bad.

Mo Rouyun was speechless.

Just as she was about to say something, Su Nian changed the subject.

“But then I thought about it again, and what the Fourth Elder said makes some sense.” Su Nian said calmly, “The coffin is made of the finest wood in the Demon Realm, and with some flower petals, it can preserve the corpse for a hundred years without decaying. So, we can put the books and discs in first, and then go into the bridal chamber.”

Mo Rouyun was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Putting her in the coffin first, then entering the bridal chamber—it's a ghost marriage anyway, so entering the bridal chamber with someone in a coffin is understandable, right?"

"Ah... um... yes, a ghost marriage, it's understandable." Mo Rouyun said somewhat guiltily.

From Su Nian's sharp gaze, she vaguely understood that the faked death had been exposed.

She noticed Qian Shudie's little sniffing gesture just now, so there's no reason Su Nian wouldn't have noticed it.

"I see..." Qian Muyu stroked his mustache and nodded. "It's not a bad idea, Tao Tao, what do you think?"

Qian Taotao, who was sitting to the side, was already crying her eyes out. Hearing what Su Nian said, she nodded and said, "I think Su Nian's words make some sense. Let's do as he says."

"Very well, since that's the case, then let's carry the book and disc into the coffin!"

Qian Muyu uttered the words "enter the coffin" with exceptional loudness, followed by the sound of the suona horn once again. However, unlike the joyous sound of the first time it arrived, this time the suona horn was filled with sorrow.

They arrived at the backyard, and Mo Rouyun was supposed to hand Qian Shudie over to Su Nian.

However, when Su Nian grabbed Qian Shudie's arm, Mo Rouyun hesitated to let go.

"Fourth Elder," Su Nian asked with a forced smile, "aren't you going to let go? Is there something else you want to say?"

"Um...no, it's just...a little worried you might not catch it properly," Mo Rouyun said with an embarrassed smile.

"Oh? I am now a half-step True Immortal. Does Fourth Elder think that a half-step True Immortal like me can't support my bride?" Su Nian asked with a smile, but her smile was somewhat dangerous.

"Forehead……"

Feeling guilty under Su Nian's gaze, Mo Rouyun slowly released her grip.

The moment she let go, Qian Shudie felt her body lose the support of immortal power. Since her body had been in a completely relaxed state, she fell backward and into Su Nian's arms.

Seeing that Mo Rouyun seemed to want to help her up, Su Nian said with a dangerous smile, "Don't worry... Fourth Elder, I won't let her fall to the ground."

Mo Rouyun: "..."

Su Nian lifted Qian Shudie up by the waist and, under everyone's watchful eyes, slowly placed her into the coffin.

The coffin was filled with flower petals to prevent the body from rotting. These petals were particularly pungent, causing Qian Shudie to sniffle.

Su Nian smiled helplessly.

"Close the coffin."

Then, with the combined efforts of several former maids of Qian Shudie, the wooden coffin was closed.

The coffin was extremely soundproof; once closed, it was pitch black inside, and you could hardly hear any outside sounds.

Su Nian stretched out her finger and gently touched the coffin, adding another layer of soundproofing.

Only Mo Rouyun could see this barrier, and she chose to remain silent.

"Everyone, do you believe in the possibility of the dead coming back to life?" Su Nian asked slowly to the crowd.

The demons exchanged puzzled glances.

"What do you mean? You can bring the book disc back to life?" Qian Taotao asked as she stepped forward.

Su Nian slowly shook her head. "I can't."

Qian Taotao was extremely disappointed.

"But she can!"

Su Nian pointed at Mo Rouyun.

Suddenly becoming the target of everyone's criticism, Mo Rouyun was slightly taken aback.

"I'm afraid many of you don't know this yet," Su Nian pointed two fingers at Mo Rouyun and said loudly, "This is the Immortal Venerable Rouyun from the Immortal Realm! She is a genuine True Immortal! She can freely travel to and from the legendary Immortal Realm Mountain! I returned this time by coming down from the Immortal Realm Mountain!"

The crowd erupted in commotion, their gazes toward Mo Rouyun now filled with fervor.

Mo Rouyun's lips twitched slightly, but she still smiled faintly and did not deny it.

"And as everyone knows, there is a celestial-level treasure on the Immortal Mountain! Does anyone know what it is?"

Someone in the crowd hesitated and guessed, "Could it be... the celestial spring that the storyteller spoke of?"

"Yes! Resurrection! Transformation from demon to human! This is the legendary Immortal Spring!" Su Nian looked at Mo Rouyun gratefully and said with great emotion, "I'm sure you all know that I have a very close relationship with the Fourth Elder. To be honest, before this ghost marriage was held, the Fourth Elder made an agreement with me to send me a large batch of Immortal Spring!"
