Li Qing and Ren Tingting were walking on the street.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Ren Tingting asked, "Brother Li Qing, my dad said you studied abroad. Was it fun there? How is it different from the mainland?"

“Abroad, it’s not very interesting, and it’s chaotic. Being alone abroad, I often feel uneasy and insecure. I’m surrounded by white and black people, and they all look down on us Asians. So, there’s nothing good about being abroad,” Li Qing replied.

"Oh? Is that so? How boring." Ren Tingting was sullen; Li Qing's words shattered her beautiful impression of foreign countries.

Li Qing stood beside Ren Tingting, walking side by side with her.

As they walked, Li Qing glanced at Ren Tingting out of the corner of her eye.

Two white, smooth mounds swayed and rose and fell with Ren Tingting's movements. Li Qing's eyes widened. Good heavens, were they really that bouncy?

Calming his excitement, Li Qing withdrew his gaze.

I'm about to lose control of my gun.

......

Arrived at Qiusheng's aunt's cosmetics shop.

Across from the cosmetics shop was a brothel, and there were some brightly dressed girls soliciting customers at the entrance. It was daytime, and they were openly soliciting customers like this.

Business must be slow.

However, the cosmetics shops opposite the brothel must be doing well, since they have big clients.

He led Ren Tingting into the cosmetics shop, where they saw Qiu Sheng leaning against the glass counter.

When Qiu Sheng saw his junior brother Li Qing enter the store, followed by a young and beautiful woman, his eyes were fixed on Ren Tingting.

Seeing this, Li Qing waved his hand in front of Qiu Sheng and said, "Senior Brother Qiu Sheng, stop staring, your eyes are about to pop out."

Qiu Sheng snapped out of his daze and smiled sheepishly.

Ha ha!

Ren Tingting covered her mouth and smiled. Seeing that Qiu Sheng was quite handsome, she didn't say anything more.

"Senior Brother Qiusheng, this is Miss Ren Tingting from the Ren family. Master asked me to bring her here to buy rouge and face powder. Please introduce her to her."

"Oh, okay, Miss Ren, take a look at this one. Many women in the provincial capital are using it, and it's very suitable for a young woman like you." Qiu Sheng picked up a box of rouge and powder and introduced it to Ren Tingting.

"This color is so pretty!"

Ren Tingting took the rouge and powder, opened it, smelled it, and examined it carefully. She found it to be quite nice and was delighted, so she decided to buy it.

Just as he was about to take out his wallet to pay, Li Qing beat him to it.

"I'll take this box of rouge as a gift for Miss Ren."

"Thank you, Brother Li Qing, I really like this gift. Just call me Tingting, calling me Miss Ren is a bit too formal." Seeing that Li Qing was going to give her a gift, Ren Tingting looked at Li Qing's sunny and handsome face and lowered her head shyly.

"Tingting, by the way, how old is Tingting this year?"

When Li Qing asked about her age, Ren Tingting blushed slightly and whispered, "I just turned eighteen."

For some reason, Li Qing felt that there was something off about what he said.

Just turned eighteen...

Qiu Sheng was quite envious when he saw the two chatting happily.

After buying rouge and face powder, the two parted ways outside the rouge shop.

......

Back to the mortuary.

Li Qing was about to return to his room to continue his cultivation when Uncle Jiu called him back.

"Ah Qing, I've arranged with Master Ren to help relocate Old Master Ren's grave in three days. All three of you will come with me then."

"Okay, Master, I'm going back to my room to cultivate."

Seeing Li Qing cultivating so diligently, Uncle Jiu was very pleased. He then looked at Wen Cai lying on the bamboo chair beside him and shook his head.

"Ugh!"

If Wencai were a modern person, he would definitely curse him, wishing that Juan Gou would die a horrible death.

......

At the grave of Old Master Ren, Uncle Jiu, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, set up an altar.

Today is the day of Grandpa Ren's relocation of his grave. Grandpa Ren is wearing a blue mandarin jacket, while Ren Tingting, standing beside him, is dressed in plain clothes, looking very simple.

Behind Mr. Ren was a man wearing glasses. He had a center-parted hairstyle, wore a white shirt and tie, a linen jacket, and tall boots. He had a rather comical appearance; this was none other than our Captain Awei.

After Mr. Ren and the others finished offering incense, it was time for Uncle Nine's educational segment.

Uncle Nine, with his hands behind his back, looked at Old Master Ren's grave and said, "This grave is called the Dragonfly Skimming Water Grave. It is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable. It is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat; it must be placed in a proper burial position."

"I can't do it, Uncle Nine."

Mr. Ren praised Uncle Jiu's professionalism.

At this moment, Wen Cai suddenly spoke up, and Li Qing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh inwardly, thinking he was about to make a fool of himself.

"A French funeral? Master, what is a French funeral? Is it a traditional French funeral?"

Upon hearing Wencai's words, Uncle Nine cursed, "Law my ass!"

Mr. Ren suppressed his laughter, but Ren Tingting burst out laughing.

It's so shameful. How could I have taken on such a stupid disciple as Wencai?

He then explained, "The so-called 'legal burial' is burial in an upright position."

"As expected of Uncle Nine, it's absolutely true. That feng shui master said that if the ancestors are buried upright, the descendants will definitely be successful! But..."

"But what? Is this acupoint no longer working?"

“The Ren family’s business has not been doing well for the past twenty years. I suspect there might be something wrong with the tomb, which is why I asked you, Uncle Jiu, to take a look.”

"The tomb is a good burial site, so Master Ren should know why there's a problem with it."

"This burial site originally belonged to a feng shui master, but it was only sold after the old master pressured him." Master Ren smiled as he said this, showing no embarrassment whatsoever; true to his reputation as a businessman, he had a thick skin.

After the worship ceremony, it was time to break ground. At Uncle Jiu's instruction, everyone dispersed.

Two workers kicked down Mr. Ren's tombstone in a very violent manner.

The tomb was dug open.

Seeing this, Uncle Nine said, "That feng shui master saw that you had taken his good burial site, so he told you to cover the entire 'dragonfly skimming the water' area with cement. How can it be called 'dragonfly skimming the water' if the coffin's head doesn't touch the water? It should be covered with snowflakes, that's what 'dragonfly skimming the water' means!"

"He still has some conscience. He told you to exhume and rebury him in twenty years. He'll harm you for half your life, not your whole life; he'll harm one generation, not eighteen generations!"

"I see!"

Four workers dug out the head of the coffin, set up a tripod with pulleys, and used a rope to secure the head of the coffin. Together, they pulled the coffin out.

Lay the coffin flat on the ground.

Uncle Nine said, "Loosen the rope and pull up the nail."

He then turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone! Today, Ren Gong's might has been restored to the light of day!"

"Anyone aged 36, 22, 35, or 48, or born in the Year of the Rooster or the Year of the Ox, please turn around and avoid me!"

Li Qing is twenty-six years old, born in the Year of the Rat, so there's no need for him to avoid the situation

"Everyone, please tidy your clothes and we're opening the museum!"

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

Before the coffin was even opened, the cawing of crows suddenly filled the air, and many birds flew out of the woods.

It looks rather ominous.

As soon as the coffin lid was opened, a cloud of black smoke billowed out.

.

The crowd gathered around the coffin and saw that the old man inside was dressed in a Qing Dynasty official's robe, his face was withered and bluish, and he had an abacus under his hands. Twenty years after being buried, there was not a single sign of decay.

Upon seeing this, Master Ren actually knelt down.

"father!"

"grandfather!"

Ren Tingting also knelt down.

"Father, I'm so sorry to have troubled you!"

He then stood up and asked Uncle Nine, "Uncle Nine, is this tomb still usable?"

Uncle Nine shook his head: "It's like a dragonfly skimming the water, touching it once and then again. It definitely won't touch the same spot twice. This acupoint is useless!"

"It's no use, what should we do then!"

Li Qing, who was standing to the side, then interjected.

"Master Ren, Old Master Ren's body hasn't decomposed in twenty years. There's something wrong with that. It might have turned into a zombie. Why don't we cremate it on the spot?"

"Cremation? No, my late father was most afraid of fire. We can't cremate him! Uncle Jiu, you have to think of something quickly."

Uncle Nine gave Li Qing an approving look and said, "He should indeed be cremated. There might be trouble if he isn't!"

"No, anything is fine, just no cremation."

Li Qing knew that Master Ren wouldn't agree to cremation. He thought to himself, "If we don't cremate Master Ren now, he'll be the first to bite me when he turns into a zombie. Then it won't be Master Ren who gets cremated, but Master Ren himself."

Seeing that Master Ren was so determined, Uncle Jiu had no choice but to agree. He had taken the money and was obligated to do as Master Ren said.

"Alright! Then let's leave Old Master Ren at our mortuary for now. I'll find him another burial plot tomorrow so he can rest in peace soon!"

Captain Awei, who had been standing in the back with little presence, saw an opportunity to show off and jumped out. He waved his hand and said to the workers, "Okay, close the coffin lid and carry it to the mortuary!"
