"Snake Lord Yu Longting, this is my wife, Su Wan." With Yu Longting's haughty personality, he wouldn't normally answer so seriously unless it involved someone sufficiently significant.

My eyelid twitched, feeling that something was amiss, "May I ask who you are...?"

"The two of you carry the scent of my daughter, especially you." The middle-aged man stared intently at Yu Longting, his eyes sharp as a hawk's, as if he could peel away our skins and delve deep into mine and Yu Longting's souls.

What... does... having his daughter's scent... mean...

Who is his daughter anyway?

And who exactly is this person?

I fell into a great crisis, my nervousness numbing my entire body, my face as stiff as a puppet's.

Yu Rongling leaned over and quietly asked Yu Longting, "Brother, did you cheat? In your entire life, you have forbidden any female to come near you except sister-in-law. How come there's another woman's scent on you?"

"Who is your daughter? What's her last name, her full name? If you don't clarify, my family might misunderstand, and I might have to kneel on a washboard tonight." Yu Longting raised an eyebrow, his tone partly serious, partly self-mocking.

No sign of anything unusual, just a man fearful of his wife.

The deep doubt in the middle-aged man's dark grey eyes faded slightly, "I might have been mistaken, my daughter... has been missing for a while, but she often stays away from home, I'm used to it, you just resemble the type my daughter likes."

"Oh? Wife, did you hear that? I didn't flirt with anyone." Yu Longting wrapped his arm around my waist, jestingly pledging his loyalty.

My heart was about to stop beating, I managed a forced smile, "Heard it, haha, let's enter the village."

We shouldn't stay here long, let's hurry away!!

In front of this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man who might be suffering from a cough.

Every additional second here made me feel the prickle of needles on my back.

"Okay." Yu Longting responded.

The middle-aged man looked up with his hazy gaze, "Wait."

"What is it?" Yu Longting frowned, his cold gaze filled with tension.

But I knew he must be pretending to be brash, using it to dispel the middle-aged man's internal doubts.

This man had been testing us ever since he first saw us.

And my mental fortitude isn't the best, I felt completely overwhelmed.

The middle-aged man tapped the coffin next to him, "Did you come to the village for this?"

"What if we did? What if we didn't?" Yu Longting retorted.

The middle-aged man laughed rather than got angry, seemingly appreciating Yu Longting's boldness, "Take a look at the corpse inside the coffin before deciding whether to go in or not."

This man had a hunting knife, broad at the top and narrowing down, at his waist.

In the hands of a forest hunter, it could split a medium-sized wild beast in one stroke, and if it encountered a thick python, it would surely slice it into pieces instantly.

Let alone the fact that the man's strength was unfathomable, if he threw the knife, I doubted even Yu Longting would be able to catch it.

Just as I thought this, the hunting knife flew from the middle-aged man's hand.

Yu Rongling and Liu Xianzhi both craned their necks to watch the circling sickle, touching their own necks, probably fearing like me that the blade would end up slicing their necks.

However, things didn't turn out to be so complicated.

The hunting knife flew past the bright red Evil-Breaking Rope Knot, cutting all the ropes.

The pitch-black coffin crashed to the ground, stirring up clouds of dust.

Due to its weight and the height from which it fell, it shattered on impact.

The Corpse-Suppressing Coins that had been placed on top of the coffin lid scattered all over the floor.

From the cracked coffin, a weird, rotten smell tinged with sandalwood wafted out.

Initially, I thought the middle-aged man might use this as an opportunity to pull some trick, but I saw Yu Longting standing resolutely, with no intention of making a move.

Perhaps I misunderstood?

"Hey, Old Man Zhou! I freaking told you to guard the coffin properly, why did you put it down? We finally managed to suppress what's inside, damn it, I shouldn't have trusted such a two-faced guy."
