Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Tricking the Ancestor in the Third Step of Meeting the Parents

Fu Shiyan’s expression remained unchanged, and he could even be called gentle as he said, "Okay."

Just from that tone, Fu Lang could feel the lift in Fu Shiyan’s voice.

Fu Lang raised his eyebrows, then looked at Jiangli.

Jiangli had already lowered her head, continuing to rummage through a pile of crushed bone.

Her little face was the epitome of calm.

At first, Fu Lang was quite shocked.

But on closer inspection...

Hmm.

This little girl had the air of the Fu Family about her, brave too—she was one of them.

It was just that... the job she was doing was a bit peculiar.

Fu Lang stealthily asked, "Shiyan, what is she doing?"

"She is a master of the arcane from Xuanmen, and this is what she does," Fu Shiyan replied with ease.

Seeing that he was taking it well and wasn’t afraid at all, Fu Lang couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

He had heard from Fu Yi about Jiangli’s capabilities and had his suspicions, but he’d never thought he’d be directly confronted with all this, let alone that Jiangli’s profession involved working with human bones.

The bones Jiangli had brought out were all human bones.

Fu Lang could tell at a glance.

This line of work, honestly, was somewhat terrifying.

But Fu Lang could see that Fu Shiyan actually quite liked it.

So he didn’t feel it was his place to comment.

The matters of the young ones should naturally be left for them to decide.

Thinking about what moved Fu Shiyan, Fu Lang couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Jiangli.

She was indeed quite cute and pretty.

If she were to be with Fu Shiyan, that’d be nice too.

At the very least, she was brave enough not to be frightened by Fu Shiyan’s affairs.

The more Fu Lang looked, the more satisfied he became.

When Xia Xin and others arrived, they saw Fu Lang with a look that said ’mother-in-law meets son-in-law’—the more he saw, the more he liked.

Xia Xin’s mouth twitched.

Then, he numbed to it.

Close off the heart and let bygones be bygones.

Let him be.

Jiangli’s hands were rather deft; it only took some time to assemble the bones into an intact human form.

Having learned from their previous experience on Yan Mountain, Duan Jianchuan was accepting of the situation quite well.

Wen Zishu nearly vomited.

If it weren’t for all the people around, he really would have been unable to hold back.

Watching Jiangli put together the skeleton made his scalp tingle.

Wen Zishu couldn’t bear to look directly and hurriedly turned his head away, pretending he hadn’t seen anything.

Soon enough, Jiangli finished arranging the skeleton, and after she had assembled everything properly, she took out a blank piece of Talisman Paper and looked up.

She quickly locked onto Xia Xin in the crowd.

As if knowing what Jiangli was about to do, Xia Xin, while reaching into his pocket, walked over, "You need Vermilion, right? I brought some!"

He presented it like a treasure, taking out a small box of Vermilion and considerately opening the lid, handing it to Jiangli.

"Well done."

Jiangli complimented, dipping her finger into some Vermilion and making a stroke on the Yellow Ritual Paper.

The Talisman was completed quickly.

Jiangli stuffed the Talisman Paper inside the skull, then took out two Stabilizing Talismans that were already drawn and attached them to the chest and back of the skeleton.

After she was done, Jiangli dusted off her hands.

Xia Xin obediently pulled out a pack of wet wipes, took one out, and handed it to Jiangli.

Jiangli took it, wiped her hands, and turned to the side, where Qi Guowen and others had been watching in astonishment, and said, "Mr. Qi, everything’s set up now. Just bring over a temporary coffin, transfer the bones, and that’ll be it. I’ve used Stabilizing Talismans so the bones won’t scatter. Consider it a favor, as I share a common lineage with your grandfather, allowing him to exit intact and with dignity."

Qi Guowen bowed and thanked her, choking with emotion, "Thank you, Abbot. I’m really grateful. I’ll relocate my grandfather’s grave tonight."

Jiangli nodded, "Alright, as for the rest, you can handle on your own. I’ve also placed a Spirit Gathering Talisman on his body. It will nourish the area where he resides, fostering a small spiritual domain, which will be beneficial for all of you."
