Chapter 182 Funeral Shop Owner

“Damn it!”

Ji Xiaoxiao's full-strength palm strike did not cause any substantial damage to the God of Thieves.

Even though He is not good at fighting, He is still a God after all.

Although due to the special nature of his 'ministerial ministry', he does not have many followers.

But God is God after all!

The God of Thieves returned to the place where the statues were previously placed, but the three statues and Ji Xiaoxiao's figure were gone.

He sneered: "This is my divine domain, where can you hide?"

As he spoke, countless shadows surged in this eternal night, condensing into thief hands, moving silently and gently.

In just a moment, Ji Xiaoxiao was pulled out from under the ground.

Although Ji Xiaoxiao had already given himself the skills of [Disguise] and [Sense of Immersion], this was the exclusive domain of the God of Thieves and he had no way to hide.

Being caught red-handed, Ji Xiaoxiao was not nervous, but urged: "You found me so quickly? That's pretty amazing.

Now it's your turn, go hide and I'll come find you."

The God of Thieves sneered.

…

…

"Meow~ (What should we do now? Will the little master be in danger? How should we save him?)" Rosie said with some concern.

Ji Ruo thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. He is my inner demon after all. I believe in him. Don't worry, he will be fine... But we can't just do nothing. He is probably taken to the new secret realm that has not yet fully arrived... Let's find a chance to ask about the situation of the captive new secret realm."

…

The next day.

Ji Ruo got up early, greeted the villagers and the resident warriors, and then went straight to the place where Qiao Xi was imprisoned.

He said not to worry, but actually he was still a little anxious.

Although Ji Xiaoxiao is a demon in her heart, as long as Ji Ruo and Chen Mo are still alive, it will be difficult for Ji Xiaoxiao to die.

But if Ji Ruo could go to the rescue in time, and at the critical moment, he would come down from the sky like a god and shout "Little thing, I'm here to save you!", how exciting it would be!

And it's not just Ji Xiaoxiao, the stolen statues also need to be brought back.

Ji Xiaoxiao has fragments of the Universal Mirror on her body. If Ji Ruo can use the Universal Shuttle to locate Ji Xiaoxiao's position and go there - although the secret realm has not yet fully arrived, the power of fantasy creation is unreasonable!

But before going, you still need to understand the situation in the secret realm first.

"Huh? What's that?"

Ji Ruoyuan saw from a distance that where Qiao Xi was imprisoned, there was another peculiarly shaped rectangular object. It was completely black and emitted a strange metallic glow under the early morning sunlight.

The shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and looks a bit like... a coffin?

But compared to a normal coffin, it seems a little small.

Not only that, it was tied with several thick chains, and the rectangle was engraved with blood-red patterns - Ji Ruo had never seen that pattern in Daxia, but he had seen it quite often before he "traveled through time".

Talisman.

However, whether before or after the time travel, this stuff is all feudal superstition!

Today it was the turn of Hu Yonglin and several other warriors to look after Qiao Xi, but they seemed accustomed to the coffin-like rectangular object in front of Qiao Xi.

"Ji Ruo, it's so early."

"Hehe, how can a martial artist sleep so lazily?" Ji Ruo did not go to Qiao Xi first, but found Hu Yonglin and asked curiously: "Brother Hu, what is that? Why does it look a bit like..."

"It looks like a coffin, right?" Hu Yonglin smiled helplessly: "That's a coffin."

Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment.

Hu Yonglin pulled Ji Ruo to a different angle so that they could see the back of the coffin.

Changing the angle, Ji Ruo saw clearly that the coffin was actually carried on the back of a person!

Hu Yonglin then continued, "That man's name is Gu Shaoxuan, and he's a weirdo."

"Weird?" Ji Ruo nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is quite weird."

Who in their right mind would walk around carrying a metal coffin so early in the morning?

"Is he a villager from Babaozhai?" Ji Ruo asked curiously.

"No." Hu Yonglin shook his head and said, "This guy runs a funeral supplies store. He doesn't stay in his store on weekdays. He likes to carry the metal coffin and walk around the border, promoting his funeral business to the warriors stationed there and the residents along the border.

When Babao Village was sealed off, he happened to be doing sales in this village. Later, it was sealed off again and he couldn't get out, so he stayed here to help us.

However, he is not a resident warrior, so we will not ask him to follow the patrol.

Well, he went to bed early last night, and when he heard that the thief had been caught this morning, he volunteered to come over and help with the interrogation."

"Is that so?" Ji Ruo thought thoughtfully.

Selling funeral services across the border?

Although Hu Yonglin did not say it explicitly, Ji Ruo could probably guess that this guy named Gu Shaoxuan was probably not likable.

After all, most warriors stationed at the border regard "sanctification" as the highest honor, and the statue of a martial saint does not need to be buried.

After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo walked towards Gu Shaoxuan and said politely: "Hello, my name is Ji Ruo."

"My name is Gu Shaoxuan." Gu Shaoxuan was a little surprised, but still said enthusiastically: "I haven't seen you before, you shouldn't be from Babaozhai, right?

I heard that this thief was caught by a little hero last night, could it be you?"

Ji Ruo scratched his head: "Hey, I just caught a thief."

Chen Mo condensed a black dialogue box above Ji Ruo's head at the right time: "Yes! It's me!"

Gu Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He didn't find it strange.

Being able to catch a thief shows that Ji Ruo is also a strong warrior. His martial arts are extensive and profound, and his abilities are varied and powerful. It is only a matter of time before a dialogue box can be condensed. Although it is rare, it is normal.

"Brother Ji Ruo, are you interested in learning about my family's funeral business?" Gu Shaoxuan suddenly pulled Ji Ruo and said, "Being buried in peace is an excellent traditional culture that has been passed down for many years in our Great Xia. Let me tell you..."

Gu Shaoxuan introduced his family's business to Ji Ruo in a very familiar manner, leaving Ji Ruo stunned.

After the general introduction, Gu Shaoxuan said with a wink: "Neither of us is from Babao Village, nor is it a resident warrior in the system. The world is so big, and we can meet here. It's so predestined... You and I hit it off at first sight, how about we become sworn brothers?

From now on, when you come to me for help, I will give you a 40% discount!"

Ji Ruo smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, I won't consider this for the time being."

"What are you not considering? Becoming sworn brothers, or giving a 40% discount on funeral services?"

Ji Ruo hesitated for two seconds and said, "Well, I don't consider it..."

"Okay, then Brother Ji Ruo, if you ever change your mind, remember to find me."

Ji Ruo said politely: "Okay, I will definitely not let you have the opportunity to do my business."

Gu Shaoxuan smiled and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, he asked, "Brother Ji Ruo, are you also planning to come and see this beautiful captive?"

Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by watching? Aren't you here to help with the interrogation?"

"Ah? Um... yes, I'm here to help with the interrogation."

Ji Ruo: “…”

I believed your lies!
