The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Holding a handkerchief, Chi Miao had never been so delicate and docile as she was now, and tears welled up in her eyes at any moment.

"I never imagined that Senior Brother Wu Huo, a peerless genius, would die such a bizarre and tragic death! Damn it! If I find out who did it, I will tear them to pieces!"

As they spoke, the two placed Ying Wuhuo's body into the coffin.

Jin Shengfei: "Senior Brother Wu Huo, please go in peace."

Chi Miao: "Waaaaaah!"

The medical training girl who witnessed the whole thing: "???"

Are you two crazy?!

Jin Shengfei turned around and shouted to the crowd:

"Today is the anniversary of the death of our sect's prodigy, Ying Wuhuo. All expenses for today's feast will be paid by me, Young Master Jin!"

After a moment of silence.

Seeing that no one reacted, Chi Miao forced himself to clap, "Good! Good! Young Master Jin is so generous!"

"Everyone, please don't be shy, let's eat. It's worth it to be able to eat at our Senior Brother Wu Huo's feast in this lifetime," Chi Miao said with emotion.

Someone said, "But wasn't this your seat in the first place?"

Chi Miao: "Eating at my banquet is ever-changing."

"..."

After saying that, Chi Miao and Jin Shengfei walked over stiffly, tears welling up in their eyes, and picked up a bowl of dry rice.

To express their hatred for the mysterious and unexplained deaths and to distance themselves from the situation.

Chi Miao took a bite and said, "I'm so stupid, really... If I had known that my poor senior brother Wu Huo couldn't escape this calamity, I shouldn't have tormented him like this before he died, making sure he died a miserable death."

Jin Shengfei patted Chi Miao on the shoulder: "Don't be too sad. This is not your fault. You have done your best to save Senior Brother Wu Huo. If Senior Brother Wu Huo knew this in the afterlife, he would be very moved."

Chi Miao bit her chopsticks tightly, but in the end, tears streamed down her face as she pointed to her heart and shouted:

"Senior Brother Wu Huo, you just left me like this!"

"Senior Brother Wu Huo! How are you going to repay what you owe me?!"

Suddenly, the coffin behind him moved, and a hand shot out from inside the coffin, raising the middle finger.

"???"

The commotion frightened Jin Shengfei and Chi Miao so much that they dared not continue talking nonsense.

Chi Miao: "Is this... a zombie coming back to life? How scary!"

Jin Shengfei was taken aback: "Aren't you also a zombie?"

Chi Miao: "I didn't die at all, wait... no, that's not right."

It's not that easy for a corpse to come back to life.

What if a miracle happens?

The two looked at each other and quickly walked to the coffin.

Inside the coffin, Ying Wuhuo had been tortured beyond recognition.

He looked completely exhausted and weak, and the frost on his skin was getting thicker and thicker.

Only the raised middle finger remained standing.

Chi Miao reached out and poked the middle finger.

There was no movement.

It seems the body stiffened too quickly, which is why the middle finger looks like that.

"It seems like it was just my imagination. Let's cover it up again so no one notices anything."

Jin Shengfei: "Okay."

The two of them then put the coffin lid back on.

As a result, the raised middle finger blocked the coffin lid.

"It seems that violence is the only option."

Chi Miao used all her strength to press down the raised middle finger.

And at this time.

The person inside the coffin struggled desperately, their voice hoarse:

"I...can still be saved!!!"

You damned bastards!

It's one thing to cheat others?

How can you be so cruel to your own family?!

Chi Miao: "What did he just say?"

Jin Shengfei: "It seems... he said there's still hope for him?"

Chi Miao: "There's still hope for this?!"

Don't sound so regretful!

Do you really hope he's beyond saving?!

Seeing that Ying Wuhuo had regained his responsiveness and could speak again, the two quickly released him.

Chi Miao took out the communication stone.

Jin Shengfei: "What are you doing?"

Chi Miao: "Let me ask the sect leader what's going on."

Jin Shengfei was stunned.

Why didn't you ask earlier?

Chi Miao: "Nobody reminded me either."

Jin Shengfei: "..."

Ok.

Besides, even if I had reminded them, it wouldn't have mattered. The situation was just too urgent; my heart had stopped beating.

After asking the questions, Ying Wuhuo had already been put on the waiting list in Heaven, ready to reopen the city.

A short while later, the communication stone was connected.

The elders were all beaming with pride at the meeting of the ten major sects.

Now that Chi Miao is communicating with them telepathically, they like her more and more.

Yan Ge: "What's wrong, my precious apprentice?"

Chi Miao: "Have the sect leader answer the call; there's something very important to report."

Yan Ge retorted jealously, "Why don't you just report me? Don't you look down on your master?!"

Despite saying that, he still obediently handed the communication stone to Chong Shuai.

Chong Shuai's face was also flushed: "What's wrong, my darling Miaomiao? Is there anything you want to tell me? If it's a resource issue, just use the Supreme Elder's Token as you like."

Chi Miao: "That's not a resource issue, it's a problem with your beloved student."

Chongsu was stunned.

His beloved student?

"What's wrong with Wu Huo? Did he make you angry? Or is he angry with you?"

Chi Miao: "The biggest problem is that he's not angry anymore."

Chong Shuai: "Hmm? Isn't it good that you're not angry?"

Chi Miao: "The anger I'm talking about isn't the anger of being angry, it's the anger of life force."

Chong Shuai: "Miao Miao is really great, she even knows how to use puns."

Chi Miao fell silent.

You're all so overjoyed that you're all a bit out of your minds.

Jin Shengfei: "I have a feeling that Nine Swords Mountain is doomed sooner or later."

If the cultivation world had a social media circle, Chi Miao would definitely give Jin Shengfei's words a thumbs up and comment, "Thumbs up!"

She couldn't explain it, so she had to adjust the camera angle.

Finally, he brought himself and Ying Wuhuo, who was raising his middle finger, into the scene at the same time.

Seeing Ying Wuhuo give the middle finger, Chi Miao felt she needed to be quick-witted as well.

Otherwise, Brother Wu Huo would be scolded for being rude.

So she made a peace sign.

Group photo!

After the group photo was taken, Chi Miao said, "Take a close look, what I mean is that he looks like he's about to die."

After Chi Miao said this, and with the scene from earlier shown, Chong Shuai and the elders gathered around to look one after another.

They've finally woken up completely.

Yan Ge: "Damn it..."

The other elders also chimed in with a "Damn!"

They were so overjoyed that they almost messed up something important!

Chong Shuai, his face tense, asked, "How long has he been in this condition?"

Chi Miao: "It was only about ten minutes. He was really going to die. His heart stopped beating. Luckily, I managed to save him by performing CPR, which is why he's still alive now."

Chong Shuai pursed his lips: "You did a great job. If it weren't for you, Wu Huo would probably be dead by now."

Although I don't know what cardiac resuscitation is, I can tell that there must be an external force supporting Ying Wuhuo, otherwise Ying Wuhuo would have ascended to heaven within two minutes of the onset of the disease!

Chi Miao blushed as she was praised.

Thankfully, it wasn't her who killed Ying Wuhuo.

She asked, "What exactly is wrong with him? Is it treatable?"

Chong Shuai: "Whether or not it can be cured is not up to us, but up to you...you."

Chi Miao exclaimed in surprise, then pointed to her face.

"I?"

"You mean me??"

I don't know anything at all!!

I originally intended to add an extra chapter if someone donated money.

Then I thought about it, and realized I am the proud Ye Fan! I will not bow down for a mere five pecks of rice!
