Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Chapter 345 Inviting a Favor and Then Repaying It

However, in Ru Ping's mind, this person's magical power was so great that if he wanted to force himself on her, she wouldn't be able to resist!

The person in front of her had some wishes, at least indicating that he would save the Zhou couple first before doing anything else; otherwise, she would rather die than submit.

Li Xiuyuan asked calmly, "May I ask if the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have been buried?"

As he spoke, he inquired, but given the Zhou family's situation, the burial would not be so quick, as the entire Zhou family had been busy with the matter of the master's death for the past few days.

Even after leaving the county government office, Ru Ping considered what Li Xiuyuan had said—that perhaps someone could save her aunt and uncle—so she didn't rush to bury them.

"Not yet. Your aunt and uncle's bodies are in the guest room. I'll take you there now."

As she spoke, Ru Ping took two steps forward, but suddenly realized that something was very wrong. It turned out that her clothes were thin, and if she went out like this, her private parts would be exposed.

In ancient times, women were very conservative.

Ru Ping lowered her head and replied shyly, "Senior, could you please excuse me for a moment so I can put on my clothes?"

As she spoke, she turned her back to him, intentionally covering herself, and her back turned red. Naturally, a woman like her wouldn't want others to look at her like that.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Is it necessary to do this? By then, you will be entirely mine. Taking a few more glances now is just collecting some interest!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look Ru Ping up and down without shifting his gaze.

When Ru Ping saw Li Xiuyuan's gaze, she realized that only he could save her aunt and uncle. In the end, she gritted her teeth and started putting on her clothes. And just as he said, he was only collecting some interest, which she would have to pay back sooner or later.

Most importantly, Li Xiuyuan had been watching for so long and had already seen through it, so Ruping no longer tried to hide it. She wanted to rescue her aunt and uncle as soon as possible and quickly get herself ready.

Ru Ping blushed and walked out of the room into her aunt and uncle's morgue. Before Li Xiuyuan even stepped inside, he smelled a foul stench emanating from it.

But the bodies of the Zhou couple lay on the cold, embroidered couch, their bodies stiff and their faces black, yet they showed no signs of life.

After smelling the stench, Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "No wonder it's turned out like this after all these days." He smiled and said, "These are the two people, aren't they?"

After saying that, he took out the Resurrection Grass from the system space. The crystal-clear green leaves, accompanied by a blue light, illuminated the entire room.

"En!"

After hearing Li Xiuyuan's question, Ru Ping nodded quickly, but her eyes were fixed on the Resurrection Grass. Could this be the treasure that could save her aunt and uncle?

Seeing Ru Ping's eager gaze, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't overthink it. Although this thing can save them, it's impossible without magical assistance."

As he spoke, he threw the resurrection herb over, which split in two and entered the bodies of the Zhou couple.

Li Xiuyuan secretly channeled his magical power into the bodies of the two people, which had the effect of resurrection herbs. In addition, the two corpses had not decomposed.

After Li Xiuyuan had only been repairing for a short while, he could see two faint gray shadows in the air entering the bodies of the Zhou couple.

After a long while, Li Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We've finally managed to bring them back to life. If Miss Ruping doesn't believe me, she can take a closer look."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Zhou couple, whose complexions were rosy and whose vitality was gradually returning.

Ignoring the stench, Ru Ping stepped forward and checked the two people's breathing. She found that their breathing was steady and normal, as if they were ordinary people fast asleep.

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Now you can believe it, right?"

As he spoke, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, and looking at Ru Ping's graceful figure, his heart couldn't help but flutter.

"Yes, thank you for your help, senior!"

Ru Ping nodded happily, overjoyed to see the two people revived.

Seeing the beauty's delight, Li Xiuyuan pressed his advantage, saying, "You don't need to thank me. Our deal was fair, and now it's your turn to fulfill the agreement."

As he spoke, he pulled her up, her hair fluttering and her skirt swaying. He smelled the fragrance emanating from her and couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

In an instant, Ru Ping's face turned red. She knew in her heart that what was bound to happen would happen eventually, but she still wanted to decline, saying, "No, my aunt and uncle haven't woken up yet!"

She tried to postpone it, but Li Xiuyuan was not about to let go of the delicious food he had already got his hands on!

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Don't worry, they are fast asleep and will wake up tomorrow."

As he spoke, he disregarded Ru Ping's objections and savored the faint fragrance emanating from her body, picking up a strand of her hair and playing with it carefully, creating an atmosphere that was extremely ambiguous.

Seeing that the other party was determined not to give up, Ru Ping knew in her heart that she couldn't save herself tonight, but she didn't regret it, at least she saved her uncle and aunt's lives.

"Okay, fine! But please, not here. My aunt and uncle are still here."

As she spoke, Ru Ping's voice became somewhat pleading. After understanding what was going on, she naturally did not want to do such an absurd thing in front of the two old people.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan replied, "As you wish!"

As he spoke, he and Ru Ping vanished in an instant, landing on the embroidered couch where Ru Ping had just been.

Ru Ping was surprised by the other party's ability and returned to her room in an instant.

The house was still the same familiar house, but there was now someone beside her who made her feel at a loss. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand, and the dim room was lit by dim yellow candlelight. Ru Ping's figure was reflected on the wall, looking so graceful.

She gently pulled the thin veil from her sleeve over her face, lowered her head, and her expression was obscured.

..............................

Ru Ping stared at Li Xiuyuan in front of her, completely mesmerized. At this moment, a hint of joy welled up in her heart, after all, Li Xiuyuan looked quite handsome and dashing.

Li Xiuyuan, however, was like an invincible general, completely conquering Ru Ping's heart.

Chapter 346 The Zhou Family Resurrection

As the first rays of sunlight streamed in through the window at dawn, Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked at the beauty in his arms. Last night, he had transformed the girl into a woman, and even after resting for half a day, Ruping still hadn't woken up.

Looking at Ru Ping's fair and snow-white skin covered with bluish welts, as well as bloodstains from the embroidered couch, Li Xiuyuan felt a surge of satisfaction. He had conquered this woman.

With Li Xiuyuan's abilities, making a woman completely submissive to him was a piece of cake.

After a long while, the beauty in his arms let out a soft moan, and Ru Ping woke up. She opened her blurry eyes and saw Li Xiuyuan's gaze fixed on her. Her face turned red, and like an ostrich, she buried her head in his arms.

Seeing Ru Ping's expression, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Ping'er, we're already an old married couple, what's there to be afraid of?"

As he spoke, he looked at Ru Ping with a playful gaze, meeting her eyes.

Ru Ping's face flushed red, and she sniffed, "Don't tell!"

As she spoke, she pinched Li Xiuyuan's arm, to which he laughed and, mindful of the beauty's health, did not continue to tease her.

Ru Ping also limped to her feet, wanting to see her aunt and uncle to see if they were alright. But with Li Xiuyuan's assurance, she was still quite confident.

Li Xiuyuan couldn't go there, but he told Ruping that he would take her away in a few days. In ancient times, women were expected to follow their husbands after marriage. Although the two had never married, their relationship had developed to this point.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan was indeed a very good person, so Ruping was naturally willing to go with him.

In just half an hour, Ru Ping was dressed and waiting by her aunt and uncle's side. The two of them had been lying there for several days.

But after last night, the two of them gradually recovered. Suddenly, they opened their eyes. Upon seeing this, Ru Ping, who was standing beside them, couldn't help but cry out, "Uncle and Aunt, you've finally woken up!"

As she spoke, she was very excited. Only when someone who was dead is brought back to life can they truly understand the kindness of another.

"Where...is this place?"

Madam Zhou was a little confused. She clearly remembered being in the underworld, so how did she suddenly come back to life? However, looking at Ru Ping beside her...

Madam Zhou exclaimed in alarm, "Ru Ping, be careful of that beast Zhou Wen Cong!"

As she spoke, her tone was filled with hatred. She never imagined that the son she had raised for over twenty years would turn out to be such an ingrate.

"Aunt, Zhou Wencong has been put in jail."

Ru Ping explained that she also hated that guy to the core. If it weren't for that, the Zhou family would not have almost been destroyed, and even her aunt and uncle would have died twice.

"here it is?"

Master Zhou was still somewhat confused. He was not very clear about the current situation. After getting up from the head of the bed, he looked at Madam Zhou with a slightly wary gaze.

In Master Zhou's memory, he had drunk the noodles cooked by his wife and ended up bleeding from all seven orifices, but nothing happened to him now, which made him extremely surprised.

The two women understood Master Zhou's doubts, so Ru Ping began to explain, saying, "Uncle, the matter is like this......................................."

As she spoke, she briefly recounted Zhou Wencong's evil deeds, such as patricide, matricide, and his attempt to cover it up, which was only exposed thanks to the intervention of the holy monk Daoji of Lingyin Temple.

After hearing these words, the two men couldn't help but sigh deeply. They never imagined that more than 20 years of education would produce such a heartless and ungrateful son.

Master Zhou pressed on, "Ruping, weren't we dead? Who brought us back to life?"

As they spoke, the two of them were filled with curiosity. They had originally been in the underworld, but now that they had returned to the human world, they realized how wonderful it was to be alive.

Upon hearing this, Ru Ping blushed and replied, "It was the Holy Monk Daoji who sent people to help save my uncle and aunt."

After saying that, she lowered her head, but did not reveal the deal.

"I see! We must thank them properly."

With that, the two agreed. In their minds, the other party must be incredibly powerful to be able to bring the dead back to life, so of course they wanted to build a good relationship with him.

"Uncle and Aunt, that person is gone!"

As she spoke, Ru Ping recounted Wu Tian's departure, which left the two of them feeling extremely regretful. If she had known that Wu Tian and Dao Ji were actually human beings, she wouldn't have acted this way!

"In that case, we should also thank the Holy Monk properly. If it weren't for him, that unfilial son would probably still be in the Zhou family."

As they spoke, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou stood up.

"En!"

After listening to the two people's words, Ru Ping nodded repeatedly, agreeing with their point of view.

If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, Wutian certainly wouldn't have come, and her aunt and uncle wouldn't have been able to be resurrected. Besides, Li Xiuyuan's great kindness to the Zhou family goes far beyond that!

After all, if it weren't for Li Xiuyuan, everyone would probably still be in the dark about Zhou Wencong's affair.
