So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Madam Fang looked anxious, her eyes filled with unease. She gestured for the servants carrying the coffin to leave and said softly, "Muqing! Yu Hong has already been buried, so shall we go back now?"

Canglan knew perfectly well that Madam Fang was eager for her to leave so that her son could be released, but she deliberately did not comply with her wishes.

So she feigned sadness on her face, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. "But I want to stay with him a little longer. Why don't you all go back first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound came from the ground, followed by Fang Yuhong's weak and intermittent cries for help: "Mother, quick... save... me, quick... save... me!"

Cang Lan feigned shock and delight, pointing to the ground and shouting, "Did you hear that? It's Yu Hong's voice! Yu Hong, Yu Hong isn't dead!"

Fang Yuwan frowned and stepped forward with a displeased expression. "Sister-in-law, you must have misheard. Brother is dead. You must be too sad and hallucinating. Let's go back quickly. Don't say such nonsense and make a fool of yourself."

Cang Lan ignored him and retorted directly, "Impossible, impossible! I clearly heard his voice just now. The voice was crystal clear, how could it be a hallucination? Do you really have the heart to bury Yu Hong, who might still be alive, in this cold underground?"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she put on a heartbroken expression. She even took a few steps forward, as if she were about to dig away the soil that had just been filled in.

Madam Fang rushed forward, shielding Cang Lan with her hands, gripping his shoulders tightly, her nails digging into his flesh, forcing a stiff smile onto her face.

"Mu Qing, calm down! We're in the middle of nowhere, the wind is howling, maybe you're just imagining things. Yu Hong passed away peacefully, we shouldn't disturb him any further."

A cold glint flashed in Cang Lan's eyes. He pretended to be heartbroken and suddenly flung Madam Fang away.

With a "thud," Madam Fang fell hard on her bottom, her face turning deathly pale instantly, her features contorted in pain.

"I'm sure I didn't mishear!" Cang Lan shouted, swinging his arms and pointing towards the coffin. "Listen to that voice! Yu Hong is definitely still alive! Why won't you save him!"

Seeing her mother thrown to the ground, Fang Yuwan immediately stepped forward to stop her, "Sister-in-law, don't be unreasonable! My elder brother was just buried today, how can you shout and yell like this in front of his grave, disturbing his peace? I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cang Lan pretended to break free from her hand and took the opportunity to punch Fang Yuwan in the stomach. He then threw two more punches, which landed heavily on Fang Yuwan's shoulder and chest.

"Ouch!" Fang Yuwan cried out in pain, bending over and clutching her stomach with both hands, her forehead instantly covered in sweat.

Madam Fang gritted her teeth and slowly got up from the ground, her heart burning with rage, wishing she could devour Cang Lan alive.

But she knew she couldn't act impulsively at this moment, so she could only suppress her anger, swallow back the teeth she was about to grind to pieces, and soften her tone as she said, "Muqing, that's enough. The yin energy in front of this tomb is heavy. Staying here for too long will easily harm your health. Let's go back to the manor first and talk things over."

Cang Lan glanced at Madam Fang, then at Fang Yuwan, who was in so much pain she couldn't straighten up. She estimated that Fang Yuhong was probably half-dead in the coffin, so she pretended to be persuaded, then her expression instantly changed, and she scolded him:

"Oh dear, you all said the yin energy in front of this tomb is heavy and harmful to health, why didn't you say so earlier!"

After saying that, she didn't even glance at the mother and daughter again, turned around and strode towards the carriage with Lian Qiao, her figure elegant and unrestrained.

Once Canglan's carriage had completely disappeared from sight, Fang Yuwan finally came to her senses. Tears welled up in her eyes from the pain, and she cried to Madam Fang, "Mother, do you think that bitch Yun Muqing did that on purpose? She hit me so hard just now!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang was furious. She raised her hand and slapped Fang Yuwan on the head, scolding, "Your old mother was just pushed down by her, and you brat, you didn't even know to help me up first!"

Fang Yuwan said pitifully, "Mom, please stop scolding me and hurry up and dig out my older brother. He's not making a sound!"

Madam Fang then snapped out of her daze and hurriedly shouted at the two servants beside her, "What are you standing there for! Quickly dig out the coffin! Hurry up, or if anything happens to the young master, neither of you will live!"

The two servants turned pale with fright and rushed over, picking up hoes and starting to dig.

Madam Fang was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, her eyes fixed on the mound of earth that was being dug up, and she kept urging, "You two, dig faster! If my son dies, I'll skin you alive!"

Finally, the coffin was dug out. The moment the coffin lid was opened, with a "rip," a venomous snake darted out and bit one of the servants. The servant screamed and instantly collapsed, his face turning ashen.

The other servant was so frightened that he stood there frozen in place.

Madam Fang was frantic with worry and, disregarding the danger, rushed towards the coffin. Fang Yuwan grabbed her, crying out, "Mother, it's dangerous!"

After the venomous snake fled, the mother and daughter cautiously approached.

Upon seeing this, the two gasped in horror. Centipedes and scorpions were swarming all over Fang Yuhong, greedily sucking his blood.

Fang Yuhong's lips were purple, her eyes were closed, and her breathing was weak.

"Yu Hong!" Madam Fang cried out in grief, reaching out to hug her son.

"mother……"

Upon seeing this, Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan quickly helped Fang Yuhong out of the coffin and had another servant carry him on his back.

In the chaos, they threw the dead servant's body back into the coffin, hurriedly closed the lid, and filled the coffin back with soil.

After everything was settled, the mother and daughter hurriedly boarded the prepared carriage and left in a dejected manner.

After feeding on blood, venomous creatures such as centipedes and scorpions also disappeared amidst the chaos.

Canglan slowly returned to his residence in a carriage.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw the five poisonous creatures—snake, centipede, scorpion, toad, and spider—standing neatly in the room, waiting for her.

Cang Lan smiled with satisfaction, squatted down, gently stroked the snake's head, and said softly, "Well done. You must have eaten your fill these past few days. Come back now."

With that, she waved her hand and put the five poisonous creatures into her storage bag, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an ordinary game.

Just as Canglan was leisurely enjoying her tea inside, Lianqiao rushed in, "Miss, the Fang family mother and daughter haven't returned yet, and the Emperor's decree has already arrived!"

"Let's go then!"

So Canglan put down his teacup, stood up methodically, straightened his clothes, and went to the front of the mansion with great poise.

Upon arrival, all the servants and household guards of the general's mansion were kneeling and awaiting orders.

The eunuch in the center, dressed in magnificent attire, held the imperial edict and had a solemn expression.

Seeing this, Canglan also knelt down along with the others.
