294: Chapter 294 How unlucky! You've come back from the dead!

A corpse sat bolt upright from the coffin and let out a breath.

Feng Yange was so incensed by the stench of rot that she condensed a mass of Darkness Power in her palm and hurled it at the corpse.

"Darkness Power, devour it for me!"

A mass of black aura instantly devoured the corpse, and the sound of chewing drifted through the air.

"Master, this thing isn't fit for human consumption; it's just too stinky."

Dark Spirit complained with a bitter face. It had finally managed to come out, only to be made to eat this foul thing.

Feng Yange patted Dark Spirit's head. "I'll compensate you when we go back. This thing really is just too stinky."

She hadn't expected this either. In this godforsaken place, the coffin lid had flown off, and a corpse had crawled out.

How unlucky.

"Master, you make me eat it just because you think it's stinky, making it seem like I'll eat anything." Dark Spirit complained indignantly. Feng Yange smiled. "Alright, I'll get you something delicious later. I won't let you be wronged."

Dark Spirit agreed, hurried over to the corpse, and sucked away the Darkness Power on it, causing the corpse to be spat out.

"Master, it's an old demon."

Feng Yange held the night-luminescent pearl and leaned over the coffin to examine it closely. "It's not an old demon; he is called Spirit Demon Great Master."

"Isn't Spirit Demon Great Master a demon?" Dark Spirit leaned in, quickly pinching its nose. "Master, it reeks!"

Feng Yange rolled her eyes at it. Couldn't it see she was covering her mouth?

Dark Spirit sniffed around, and its eyes suddenly lit up. "Master, there's something under the coffin lid."

"Could it be a Top-tier Earth Attribute?"

Feng Yange lifted the coffin lid with effort, but it was too heavy; she couldn't move it at all.

"Zhushou."

Feng Yange called out, and Zhushou appeared. His expression of disdain was so exaggerated it was distorted. He looked at Feng Yange with resentful eyes. "Master, have you lost your wits?"

"It's the coffin lid. Help me lift it."

Feng Yange pointed at the corpse to the side and the heavy coffin beside her. Zhushou stared at Feng Yange. "Master, is that human language? You want a cute little thing like me to act as a pallbearer for you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhushou kicked out. The coffin lid was sent flying, crashing into the opposite stone wall with a loud noise, and gravel rained down.

"There's no need to show off in front of me." Feng Yange warned with her eyes. "Be careful or I won't let you eat Phoenix meat in the future."

"Master, look at how well I handled it. If you aren't satisfied, I'll dismantle the coffin for you to use as a stool."

Zhushou immediately adopted a fawning attitude. Phoenix meat was his lifeline; it was incredibly nourishing.

"Dark Spirit, where is the Treasure Trove you mentioned?" Feng Yange searched with the night-luminescent pearl. What kind of treasure could this coffin have?

Suddenly, a blue light floated up from beneath the coffin lid. It was a remnant soul. His beard was bristling with rage as he glared angrily at Feng Yange. "You little girl, how could you do such an immoral thing? Digging up someone's grave is wicked."

Feng Yange's eyes lit up. "Senior, is this coffin yours?"

"Otherwise, is it yours?"

Spirit Demon was furious. He waited for Feng Yange to apologize, but instead heard her displeased complaint: "Senior, you're already dead, why did you have to undergo corpse transformation and scare me?"

"Corpse transformation?!" Spirit Demon Senior was shocked. He looked in the direction Feng Yange was pointing at the corpse, and his expression turned pained. "How could my corpse be violated?"

"I just arrived, I didn't know either. You even gave me a fright; shouldn't you compensate me?"

As soon as Feng Yange finished speaking, she was scolded by Spirit Demon. Feng Yange frowned. "If you won't give it, fine. I'm leaving then. You can just stay here and die."

Feng Yange turned to leave, and Spirit Demon immediately called out to stop her. "Dengdeng!"

He didn't know how long he had been here. He had finally waited for a living person; how could he let her leave?

The corners of Feng Yange's mouth curled up slightly as she turned to look at Spirit Demon.

"Why did you come here?"

"I stepped on air and fell down. Otherwise, who would come to this godforsaken place?" Feng Yange's retort made Spirit Demon's expression stiffen. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Feng Yange. "What is your Spiritual Root talent?"

"Hongmeng Spirit Root."

Feng Yange raised her eyes to look at Spirit Demon's terrified expression and asked with a mischievous smile, "Senior, is this because you don't believe me, or do you feel your things aren't worth showing?"

"Nonsense!"

Spirit Demon was so angry that his remnant soul wavered. "Hongmeng Spirit Root, encompassing all rivers! How could my belongings not be worth showing?"

"I don't believe it."

Feng Yange glanced around indifferently. "Senior, why don't you tell me why you died here? This place doesn't look like it has very good Feng Shui."

"Why is this girl's speech so unlikable? It makes one's corpse feel irritable just listening to it."

Feng Yange glanced at the corpse lying on the ground. "You've already returned from the dead."

Spirit Demon stared at Feng Yange for a long while. "I was cultivating in this layer of the Secret Realm and found many Heaven And Earth Treasure. I had intended to leave after my Breakthrough, but I unexpectedly suffered a backlash. With my life nearing its end, I buried myself here."

"Then aren't all your Heaven And Earth Treasure wasted?"

Feng Yange felt heartache. Spirit Demon glared at her. "You only care about Heaven And Earth Treasure. Can't you even ask me why I suffered a backlash?"

"It's your privacy. If you're afraid of losing face and don't want to say, it wouldn't be right for me to ask directly, would it?" Every word Feng Yange said could make Spirit Demon return from the dead in anger, but in the end, he just sighed.

"It is indeed quite embarrassing. However, since you and I are fated, as long as you bury my remains properly, I will give you all the Treasure Trove of my life."

Feng Yange composed her expression and bowed respectfully to Spirit Demon Senior. "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely arrange everything for you properly."

Even without the treasure, she intended to lay him to rest. She just wanted to see if she could find that Top-tier Earth Attribute.

"Girl, there is a box underground. Inside is my storage ring. I leave these things to you. My wish is fulfilled. Take care." Spirit Demon's remnant soul dissipated. Feng Yange crouched down, and Zhushou immediately dug up the soil, unearthing an exquisite small wooden box from beneath the coffin lid, which contained a storage ring.

"Mistress, we have finally found you."

Mo Yuan and Jun Chen arrived in a disheveled state. Seeing the scene before them, they asked, "Mistress, this is..."

"Spirit Demon Senior, he returned from the dead." Feng Yange briefly explained the situation with Spirit Demon Senior, then bought a new set of clothes for Spirit Demon from the System Mall, had them change him into it, and only then did they lay him to rest in the coffin.

"Mistress, how does this Spirit Demon Senior have a demon bead? Is he a demon?"

Mo Yuan looked at the demon bead picked up from the coffin; this was a completely unexpected delight.

"He is not a demon. He likely encountered a demon, killed it, and obtained this demon bead. Consider it an unexpected surprise. Keep it safe." Feng Yange lowered her eyes. It was a pity she hadn't been able to find the jinge pearl; otherwise, Jun Chen's injuries might have recovered a bit more.

"You are really fast. Quick, give me a hand!"

Yue Lan arrived shortly after. Compared to Mo Yuan and Jun Chen, he was in an even more disheveled state, with multiple injuries on his body. He walked over, looking slightly wretched, and sat down.

"A-Lan, are you injured?"

Feng Yange hurriedly took out a healing pill for Yue Lan to take. Thinking of Qing Teng who had cleared the path for them, she hurriedly asked, "Didn't you encounter Qing Teng?"
