“Hold on.” Luo Tianhe suddenly interrupted, “Call Lai Fu over, I need him to prepare some things.”

A moment later, Lai Fu walked in tremulously. The two corpses in the front hall filled him with immense panic. Before he could speak, Luo Tianhe said, “I need a white shroud to cover the bodies, the bigger the better, and a red bridal veil, the newer the better, preferably from a newlywed within the last 7 days.”

“This…”

Ignoring Lai Fu's hesitation, Luo Tianhe gestured towards the corpses of Master Wu and Wang Bao with a resolute attitude, “Be quick, any delay could lead to complications!”

“Also, notify everyone outside that no matter what happens in here, no matter what sounds they hear, they are not to approach this place, remember that! Otherwise, your young master is sure to die tonight!” Yuan Shanyuan stood there with the air of a grandmaster. His acupuncture technique from earlier had opened Lai Fu's eyes, and he deeply believed his words.

Hearing that it concerned the safety of his young master, Lai Fu immediately gritted his teeth and agreed, then quickly left.

Time passed slowly, and the vast Wu mansion returned to silence, but even Fatty knew that the current peace was only temporary. If things weren't handled properly tonight, another storm of bloodshed would be stirred up.

Unsurprisingly, an accident occurred during the seemingly long wait. Lin Qianqian stared at the two corpses, her voice faltering, “You… you see, Wang Bao's body… is it different?”

“It's his face, the smile on his face wasn't like this before!” Fatty had good eyesight and immediately found the problem, “His smile is getting more and more exaggerated.”

Hearing this, Luo Tianhe seemed to suddenly snap back to reality, “His feet, have his feet changed at all?”

The moonlight grew even fainter, and the front hall was shrouded in a hazy darkness. Everyone could only barely make out the upper halves of the two corpses, with everything below the waist almost merging into the darkness.

Yao Shunyu made an extremely bold move. He took out his phone, covered the flash with his hand, and then turned on the phone's built-in flashlight.

In an instant, a faint light broke through the darkness, and as soon as Wang Bao's feet were visible, the light went out.

But it was just that brief moment that made everyone's foreheads break out in cold sweat.

Wang Bao's exposed ankles had turned a purplish-blue color at some point. Even more terrifying, the heels that were originally raised high had silently lowered, only 1 centimeter away from touching the ground.

A chill ran down Fatty's spine, and he couldn't help but have this thought: if they had discovered it any later, what would have happened when Wang Bao's heels touched the ground?

“Once the heels of a dianjing shi (tiptoe corpse) touch the ground, it will kill someone, we must stop it!” Although Luo Tianhe's voice was urgent, he wasn't particularly panicked. His gaze drifted subtly towards Bai Yu, who was beside Yuan Shanyuan.

Yuan Shanyuan stared at Wang Bao's corpse, a hint of hesitation flashing between his brows, but he knew the current situation better than anyone. Once this evil dianjing xiaomian shi (tiptoe smiling corpse) underwent corpse transformation, it wouldn't just be a matter of one or two deaths. Moreover, there was another corpse. Once a chain reaction occurred, not only would the few of them be affected, but the entire Wu mansion would probably be slaughtered.

“Old Mr. Yuan, Mr. Luo, please think of a way!” It was obvious that Ding Zhenzong was truly frightened this time. In the dim environment, his face was more distorted than his voice.

Finally, Yuan Shanyuan spoke, “You all step back, this time my granddaughter and I will work together to see if we can seal the corpse's meridians.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately scattered. Fatty pulled Jiang Cheng all the way back to the door, staring nervously at Yuan Shanyuan's situation, planning to run with the doctor as soon as danger arose.

He didn't know if ghosts ran fast, but he was confident that he could run faster than the rest of his teammates, even while carrying the doctor.

Yuan Shanyuan took out a cloth bag from his clothes, the same one he had used to examine the young master. Unexpectedly, he had secretly brought it back, but this time, Yuan Shanyuan only took out the needles, but didn't approach the corpse. Instead, he placed the needles in Bai Yu's hand, then leaned close to her ear and said a few words softly.

Because his voice was too soft, even Fatty couldn't hear it, but everyone saw the abnormal behavior of these grandparents. Yao Shunyu stared at Bai Yu's profile, his expression slowly becoming strange, as if his long-held guess had been confirmed.

Bai Yu walked towards the corpse expressionlessly. Jiang Cheng felt that Wang Bao's smile was becoming more and more eerie, but in the next second, Bai Yu raised her hand and directly inserted a needle into the corner of Wang Bao's mouth.

Then came the next needle, inserted into the other corner of his mouth, as if to fix Wang Bao's smile on his face.

Temples, both sides of the nose, back of the neck… more and more parts were pierced with needles. Until the end, Bai Yu held the longest and largest silver needle in her hand, slowly squatted down, and inserted the needle into Wang Bao's ankle.

Bai Yu's last needle was swift and forceful, and it looked like it had been accurately inserted into the bone seam. Fatty's leg couldn't help but tremble. He inexplicably felt that this would be very painful.

After doing all this, Bai Yu retreated step by step, back to Yuan Shanyuan's side, without saying a word from beginning to end, nor making any special sound.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there was nothing unusual, everyone dared to step forward, “Thanks to old Mr. Yuan and Miss Bai Yu, it's no wonder you are from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, Miss Bai's acupuncture technique is also amazing.” Li Bai said sincerely.

But Bai Yu seemed not to have heard the compliments, her empty eyes drooping, her body half-hidden behind Yuan Shanyuan.

Ding Zhenzong was a very pragmatic person and asked with some surprise, “Old Mr. Yuan, has this dianjing xiaomian shi (tiptoe smiling corpse) been taken care of by you and Miss Bai Yu?”

Yuan Shanyuan sighed and shook his head, “How can it be so simple? I just used needles to temporarily seal the corpse's acupoints, trying to delay the time of the corpse transformation. As for how to solve it, I am not an expert in this field, you have to ask Mr. Luo.”

Before he finished speaking, a burst of running came from outside. The person who came was Lai Fu. He handed two things to Luo Tianhe solemnly, a white cloth and a red veil.

Getting closer, one could even smell a faint corpse odor, seemingly coming from the white cloth.

After dismissing Lai Fu, Luo Tianhe asked the remaining people to withdraw, not only from the front hall, but also from the courtyard, leaving only him, Yuan Shanyuan, and Bai Yu, on the grounds that he was worried that the corpse would be contaminated with too much yang energy during the process, leading to corpse transformation.

A very deadly statement, and everyone had no reason to refuse.

After closing the door, the group left. The stone road under their feet was uneven. Yao Shunyu crossed his hands and placed them behind his head, smiling indifferently, “Speaking of which, this Miss Bai Yu is really amazing. Mr. Luo and Old Master Yuan didn't dare to do it, but she did.”
