But when dawn broke and nothing happened, the villagers went from being terrified to becoming impatient.

Village Chief Huang was the same, going to Uncle Jiu to complain about everything.

"Uncle Jiu, everyone has to work... The night has passed, and that Western zombie hasn't shown up. It must have left the village by now, right?"

Uncle Nine, his face etched with worry, ignored Village Chief Huang's words and waved his hand, saying, "This is no small matter. If that Western zombie is hiding in the shadows, waiting for nightfall, what are we supposed to do with these unarmed people?"

“This…” Village Chief Huang hesitated, “But how long will we have to stay here? The villagers all have their own businesses to run. If we are delayed for even a day or two, what a huge loss that will be.”

That's just how it is in this day and age; money is more important than life.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine could only remain silent.

Regardless, he had to ensure that the vampire didn't cause trouble under his nose.

"Uncle Jiu, why don't you let everyone go back first and come back tonight? That way, we can give everyone an explanation." Village Chief Huang offered his so-called brilliant plan again, thinking he was being clever.

Uncle Nine could only purse his lips impatiently. "Young Master Su is currently searching for the whereabouts of the Western zombie. If he can resolve the situation smoothly, he will come back to inform us, and then we can all leave. In short, not now!"

Uncle Jiu's resolute attitude made Village Chief Huang shake his head and sigh, having exhausted all his strength to persuade him further.

Just then, a person came running from a distance.

Uncle Nine recognized Su Feng at a glance!

"Oh dear, it's Young Master Su back!"

"It's Young Master Su!"

Village Chief Huang hurriedly followed Uncle Jiu to greet them.

Before Uncle Nine could speak, Village Chief Huang eagerly grabbed Su Feng's hand and hurriedly asked, "Young Master Su, how did it go? Was that Western zombie dealt with?"

Su Feng sensed the atmosphere and nodded with a wry smile, "Don't worry, village chief, the vampires will no longer pose a threat to the villagers."

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Upon hearing this, Village Chief Huang quickly turned around and announced loudly to the crowd waiting in the open space, "The threat has been eliminated, everyone can go back to doing business!"

There was no applause, no cheers; the crowd dispersed with resentful and incomprehensible looks in their eyes.

They didn't offer a single word of thanks to Su Feng, the hero who solved the vampire problem. Instead, they believed that Su Feng and Uncle Jiu had disrupted the order of Huangshi Village and interfered with their business.

Afterwards, Village Chief Huang said goodbye to Su Feng and Uncle Jiu and took his leave, also disbanding the security team.

In no time, the township office was deserted.

"Heh, how interesting." Su Feng chuckled mockingly as he watched the departing crowd.

"Young Master Su, please don't mind," Uncle Nine had experienced this situation before, so he accepted it faster than anyone else. Now, he was more concerned about the vampire preacher's situation. "What you just said, Young Master Su, that the vampire has been eliminated?"

Su Feng realized what was happening, took a tooth out of his sleeve, and placed it in Uncle Jiu's hand.

"Are these the vampire's teeth?"

Uncle Nine carefully examined the fang, which was about the size of a fingertip. It was incredibly sharp, and the tip was still covered in blood.

I don't know if it was just my imagination, but it felt a little hot in my hands, and I had a vague sense of foreboding.

Uncle Jiu didn't dare look at it any longer and handed it back.

Then he sighed, "It's a pity that I couldn't witness the duel between Young Master Su and the vampire. It must have been very difficult."

Su Feng neither confirmed nor denied it, unsure whether he should tell the truth about what happened.

The battle that was so brutal was not as interesting as the one against Qian Kai.

"I've been exorcising demons for so many years, but I've never dealt with a Western zombie before. If you have time later, Young Master Su, you could tell me more about the situation so I can learn from your experience and have a strategy to deal with it next time."

Uncle Nine asked earnestly.

Su Feng naturally agreed to help.

The troubles in Huangshi Village have been resolved, and there's nothing to do here anymore.

As dawn broke, Uncle Nine woke up Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, who had slept for a day and a night at the inn, and prepared to leave...

Before leaving, Su Feng stopped Uncle Jiu and told him the purpose of his trip to Huangshi Village.

……

"What? The Ninth-Generation Evil Child is actually at the Marshal's mansion?"

On the way back to Renjia Town, Su Feng told Uncle Jiu what he had seen and heard at the Taoist temple. Sure enough, Uncle Jiu was shocked after hearing it.

"Could it be that someone deliberately stole it?"

Su Feng shook his head. "Whether that's true or not is still unknown, but one thing is clear: the servant who took away the Nine-Life Evil Infant was definitely not doing it unintentionally."

Of all the jade sculptures in the Taoist temple that day, why steal the most evil and sinister statue of the Nine-Life Evil Infant? It's hard not to suspect that there was a ulterior motive.

"Furthermore," Su Feng repeated what Aunt Zhe had said that day, "it is said that General Jiang's wife is pregnant, and this evil infant from nine lifetimes may very well take this opportunity to be born through another womb."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu frowned, his face turning pale. "If that's the case, then Sister Lian is in trouble."

If Su Feng wasn't mistaken, the "Lianmei" that Uncle Nine mentioned should be Uncle Nine's former lover.

On the contrary, Qiu Shengwencai, who was standing next to him, interrupted and asked questions even though he didn't know anything.

"Master, who is Sister Lian?"

"Is that your master's wife?"

"Shut up! Who gave you permission to speak!" Uncle Nine glared at the two of them, his face flushed. "Lianmei is a married woman. Don't tarnish her reputation!"

Qiu Shengwen pursed his lips and retreated to the side without saying a word.

“Uncle Jiu, although I don’t know your relationship with the Marshal’s wife, this matter concerns the lives of the Marshal’s Mansion and even the people of the entire Shuilian Town. Therefore, we need Uncle Jiu to step in so that we can enter the Marshal’s Mansion and retrieve the statue of the Nine-Life Evil Infant.”

Su Feng spoke up.

He had already thought of this method on his way here.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Nine was in such a difficult position.

After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke, “Young Master Su, it’s not that I’m unwilling to help you. I’m just as anxious as you are about this matter… However, I have many grudges with Sister Lian and that Commander Jiang, so he won’t want to see me.”

"You can find anyone else, but if that person hears my name, this plan will definitely fail!"

Uncle Nine's helplessness was indeed justified.

Su Feng could already imagine the scene more than ten years ago when Uncle Nine and General Jiang were fighting each other over one person.

“If we can’t even get close to Uncle Jiu, then we’re really in trouble.” Su Feng shook his head helplessly. “Let’s go back to town and discuss it further. Maybe there are other ways.”

……

It was already afternoon when we returned to Renjia Town.

The streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and the aromas of various delicacies.

Uncle Nine asked Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to buy some hot dishes from the deli, and then invited Su Feng to come over as a guest so they could discuss the matter of the Nine-Life Evil Infant.

But just as the group returned to the mortuary, they found a young and beautiful woman at the gate.

The woman waiting at the door was dressed in a floral dress and held a parasol in her hand. Her beautiful figure leaned against the willow tree, and half of her stunning face was revealed under the white parasol.

“Ouch—”

As soon as Qiu Shengwen, who was walking in front, saw the beautiful woman, he stopped in his tracks and turned back to Uncle Jiu with a smile, his eyes sparkling with desire, "Master, Master, there is a great beauty outside the door!"

"I wonder who they're looking for?"

In broad daylight, under the 4.2-day-old sky, for a young and beautiful girl to be waiting in front of the mortuary is clearly no ordinary matter.

Sure enough, upon hearing approaching footsteps and laughter in the distance, the woman under the parasol raised her emerald eyes and waved excitedly at Uncle Nine.

"Master Zhengying! You're finally back!"

Under the sunlight, the petite face under the umbrella finally reminded Uncle Jiu of something, which surprised him slightly.

"Nianying? What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this name, Su Feng, who was standing at the back, also twitched his eyebrows and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

This Nianying is the younger sister of Uncle Jiu's former lover, Alian. Her visit this time must also be related to the matter of General Jiang!

It seems that the most crucial person has finally come to visit.

"So you know this young lady, huh?"

"Could it be old feelings..."

Qiu Shengwen was about to say something joking when Uncle Jiu turned around and glared at him fiercely. He immediately wilted and slunk into the house with the hot dishes in his arms.

"Nianying, it's sunny outside. Let's come inside and talk about it."

At Uncle Jiu's invitation, Nianying entered the backyard of the mortuary.

For most people, the mortuary is a place where the dead are kept, and passing by it is considered unlucky. But Nianying didn't care at all. She followed the path through the main hall and arrived at the pavilion in the backyard.

Chapter Eighty: A Visit to the Marshal's Mansion! Water Lily Town: A Place Where Heaven and Hell Coexist

"Young Master Su, Master, Miss Nianying, please have some tea."

Inside the pavilion, Qiusheng and Wencai respectfully placed tea on the table, then stood quietly to the side, not daring to utter a sound.

Uncle Nine glanced at Su Feng, then looked at Nian Ying, and said softly, "Let me introduce you. The man sitting next to me is Young Master Su from the Su family..."

Then he introduced Nianying, "Nianying is the younger sister of my old friend... cough cough, an old friend of mine."

"Nianying greets Young Master Su." Nianying nodded politely to Su Feng, her large eyes darting unabashedly over Su Feng's face.

Su Feng couldn't stand the intense gaze on her, so he smiled and said, "Miss Nianying, you're too kind."

"Let's get back to business," Uncle Nine said, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere. "Nianying, you must have something important to discuss with me."

The journey from Shuilian Town to Renjia Town is neither too far nor too close, but the fact that they hadn't seen each other for many years naturally made Uncle Jiu suspicious of Nianying's sudden visit.

Nianying took a sip of tea and then explained the purpose of her trip.

“My brother-in-law has recently contracted a strange illness. He has seen many doctors but none of them can cure him. My sister has also been unable to sleep for many days because of this. I am afraid that it will affect the fetus in my sister’s womb, so I came here to ask Master Zheng Ying for help.”

Nianying's words also made Uncle Jiu's expression waver slightly, and he muttered to himself, "It seems that Lianmei's pregnancy is really true..."
