"What kind of gift do you want?" The master looked vigilant, afraid of being swindled himself.

Yu Longting didn’t answer immediately, instead, he lowered his voice and asked Qing Li, "Mom, you didn’t buy the coffin to arrange a funeral hall, did you?"

This one word "Mom" made Qing Li feel very uncomfortable.

She pressed her lips together in silence for a long time before slowly nodding.

Why does her expression look... like she just swallowed a fly??

Being acknowledged by your own son, shouldn’t that make you overjoyed??

Or did I see it wrong? ,

Yu Longting rubbed his chin, "Is it prepared for me and Wanwan?"

"Yes, how did you kid guess it?" Qing Li asked, displeased.

What??

So this coffin is prepared for me and Yu Longting, and we’re supposed to sleep in it?

What’s Qing Li up to?

While I was puzzled, Yu Longting said to the master, "Prepare everything needed for the memorial hall, I want the best. If you don’t agree, we’ll buy the coffin elsewhere. It’s your choice."

Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a coffin shop located in a remote part of the street.

It seems like it’s just selling coffins with no interaction with outside stores. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

In reality, all their businesses are interconnected.

After a moment of consideration, the master agreed.

While he whispered with other shopkeepers, I strained my ears to catch their conversation.

This person took out ten thousand yuan to pay for goods, involving the shopkeepers related to funeral hall arrangements along the street, even offering delivery and setup services.

The service is attentive and comprehensive, truly treating the customer as king, even in the funeral business.

Yet my heart bleeds even more, damn eighty-eight thousand!!

The price was brought down to eighty-eight thousand, and this old man came up with ten thousand to arrange the gifts, pocketing plenty of perks.

The damn coffin is surely worth far less than eighty-eight thousand~!

"Wanwan, do you remember the card I borrowed from you?" Yu Longting asked me.

I nodded, "Yeah, I transferred Wuyue’s money into it, but I didn’t bring that card."

Is he planning to use Wuyue’s money to charge for the coffin??

"I’ve linked it to my Alipay, let’s use that money. That money is just sitting there anyway." Yu Longting took out his mobile and scanned to pay.

I was stunned the whole time, is this how you save money?

But this is Wuyue’s money...

Doesn’t it feel awkward for him to use it?

Seemingly reading my mind, Yu Longting said to me, "Rest assured, this money will be earned back."

"Oh, oh, oh, that’s good." Though I didn’t know how he was going to earn it back, I believed him anyway.

After buying the coffin, our group left the address of the rented ancestral house and left.

Qing Li said she still needed to buy something special, so we went to a dark store filled with snakes and spiders, the entrance surrounded by red iron railings.

Only one customer could enter at a time, so Qing Li went in alone.

Standing at the entrance, I felt a cold chill on my body, as if an eerie wind kept blowing against my legs.

The sky was already darkening, with people burning paper at several intersections on both sides.

The firelight in the rain looked very eerie, and occasionally I could even see something pale floating in the rain.

I took a sharp breath, exhaling a white mist.

It’s summer after all, even if it rains the temperature should be twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees, yet I was breathing white mist.

Ashes from burned paper money kept brushing against my calves, swirling around them, and this little eerie wind made me feel creepy inside.

"Yu Longting, is it because the Nether Pond has drawn away my Yang energy, that my body feels cold and attracts unclean things?" I leaned closer to Yu Longting in fear and said.

Yu Longting touched my forehead, sensing the Yang Fire energy inside me, "Do you feel that the heavenly fire within you has recovered, or is it still as weak as when in the Nether Pond?"
