"Quiet down..." Su Feng gently reassured the two sisters, whispering, "These are dried corpses, not zombies."
Just as depicted in the movie, everyone in the Jiang family except for the master, the young master, and a few servants was turned into preserved corpses, including the master's wife.
"A worship of heaven and earth..."
"Second worship high hall..."
As the matchmaker shouted, the two newlyweds began to toast Master Jiang and the motionless "corpse" beside him.
They acted as if they were already used to it, as if only the few outsiders present were terrified.
"It's done!"
The wedding was considered complete after the last firecracker was lit.
The newlyweds did not sit down to drink and eat, but instead went back to the back room together.
This chilling and eerie ritual has come to an end...
After Lady Lashi was carried away, Master Jiang sat back down in his seat as if nothing had happened.
But what had just happened had already touched a nerve with everyone, especially the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, which made them tense and sweat profusely.
The rather timid Mao Dian turned his head to the side and asked Long Chuan in a low voice.
"Master, what exactly is going on? Wasn't that a corpse just now?"
Long Chuan, with a stern face, gently pinched Mao Dian's arm. "Stop talking nonsense and don't ask unnecessary questions."
Each family has its own customs and traditions. Although he was quite curious, he was, after all, just a guest and had no need to interrupt. As an outsider, he was already quite fortunate to share in the joyous atmosphere; he had no right to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs…
They didn't say anything, but Master Jiang, who was standing to the side, could tell.
There was no attempt to hide anything; he spoke frankly and openly, "Please don't take offense, everyone... This is just a tradition of our Jiang family, and also a business. Please don't worry about it, just enjoy your food!"
As he spoke, Master Jiang poured out some fine wine and stood up to offer a toast.
"My son has worked hard all day and is not feeling well. He and his wife have gone back to their room to rest. I will have a few drinks with you all."
Longchuan and his companions dared not be negligent and quickly returned the courtesy.
I didn't dare ask any more questions about the strange things that had just happened; it was all in the wine.
Although there was food and wine, the atmosphere still felt a bit strange.

Chapter 138 One Night in a Haunted House! A Conspiracy Unveiled!
After Butler Jiang announced his departure, only Master Jiang and Su Feng and others remained in the large living room.
The wind, fire, thunder, and lightning were so engrossed in eating that they had no time to care about anything else. After all, they had been tired and hungry all day, and now that there was fine wine and delicious food in front of them, they ate and drank like starving ghosts, without any restraint.
Longchuan reminded him several times, but it didn't work, so he just ignored it...
"Young master, why don't you eat? Is the food not to your liking? I can ask the cook to get some more."
Master Jiang noticed that Su Feng hadn't picked up his chopsticks and asked him a question.
Su Feng smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Jiang, you don't need to be so polite... I'm just feeling a little unwell, and I wonder if I could borrow a place to relieve myself."
"Young Master, are you feeling unwell?" Chen Yue asked worriedly, but under the table, Su Feng gently raised his hand, signaling her not to say anything more.
Master Jiang pointed towards the backyard, "I'll have the butler take you there."
"No need to trouble yourself, I can manage on my own."
Su Feng stood up and left the hall.
The backyard wasn't far away; the outhouse was located there.
But in reality, what I just said was just a pretext, a way to find an excuse to leave first...
"If the plot is correct, then there are many undead bodies hidden under this house."
Su Feng smiled and shook his Qiankun bag.
"Perfect, this will replenish these spirit stones."
We can't let such a ready-made gathering place for yin energy go to waste.
Although it's different from pure spiritual energy, absorbing it all can still allow me to digest it for a while.
Go through the backyard, and the kitchen is located on that side...
"Ok?"
Su Feng suddenly caught sight of a figure sneaking around the backyard.
Isn't that Butler Jiang? What's he doing here?
Just as I was about to go up and ask, the other person seemed to notice me, glanced back, and then hurriedly nodded and turned to leave.
"Heh—" Su Feng chuckled, not intending to pursue the matter further.
In any case, nothing is surprising happening in the Jiang residence.
Whether Steward Jiang harbored ulterior motives or not was none of his concern...
His purpose in this trip was to collect spiritual energy and deal with the flying zombies; he would avoid getting involved in other troubles if possible.
Thinking this, Su Feng changed direction and quietly slipped out through the side door of the backyard.
"The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques!"
"Guidance! 06"
Silently recite the incantation, bring two fingers together, and gently tap the ground.
With a hissing sound, a faint black line suddenly appeared from underground, stretching out into the distance.
Guided by the yin energy, Su Feng left the backyard and arrived at the back mountain...
As they went deeper, the yin energy they sensed became increasingly intense.
Clearly, this is where Master Jiang used to seal the preserved corpse.
"It should be underground."
Su Feng reached out and covered the ground, sensing it with his spiritual energy.
There was indeed space underneath.
However, breaking through here and creating a disturbance could lead to trouble.
Forget it...
Just absorb it like this.
Su Feng took the spirit stones out of his Qiankun bag and placed them on the ground.
【Drip】
[Yin energy detected. Shall we purify and absorb it?]
'absorb.'
Su Feng issued the order without hesitation.
Then all that was left was to wait.
The absorption time is short, barely the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so it shouldn't arouse suspicion...
……
Inside the room, Young Master Jiang gently removed the red cloth covering the bride's head.
"So beautiful."
Looking at his charming and lovely wife, Young Master Jiang was momentarily lost in thought.
No matter how many times I see it, it is always so beautiful.
"Young Master, aren't you cold?" Tang Shanshan asked softly, pointing to Young Master Jiang's bare upper body.
Young Master Jiang said with a wicked smile, "It's already this late, why are you still calling me Young Master? You should change your address... Come on, call me that so I can hear it."
Tang Shanshan became coy, biting her lower lip, and softly murmured, "Husband..."
"Again!" Young Master Jiang excitedly grabbed Tang Shanshan's soft hands. "Say it again!"
"Ms. sir..."
Young Master Jiang couldn't wait any longer and pushed Tang Shanshan onto the bed.
"Shanshan, I love you so much!"
"From this day forward, you will be my wife, and we will never be apart! Never!"
Facing the predatory man pressing down on her, Tang Shanshan shed her initial shyness, leaving only indifference and endless bitterness.
These sweet words failed to move her; on the contrary, they made her feel somewhat disgusted...
She had absolutely no feelings for Young Master Jiang... This was just a business deal, a terrible arranged marriage.
Because of the Jiang family's unusual business, the young master Jiang's previous wives all died mysteriously, leaving no heirs, which made the old master Jiang extremely anxious.
At this very moment, Tang Shanshan's older brother, Tang Long, hatched a terrible conspiracy.
Tang Long, who had long coveted the Jiang family's wealth, planned to make Tang Shanshan Jiang's wife, so that he would have the qualifications and rights to seize the family fortune.
Tang Shanshan was unaware of the details of the process; she only knew to obey, because she firmly believed that her brother, who had depended on her since childhood, would not harm her.
She was willing to endure even sharing a bed with this lewd-looking, emotionless young master Jiang... just to please her brother.
But why do I feel somewhat resentful?
A single tear slid down her cheek without Tang Shanshan even realizing it.
Is it her precious virginity? Or is it her pure and untainted soul that will be handed over to someone else tonight?
However, at that moment, the person on top of him suddenly sprang up from the bed and started cursing.
