Chapter 399: Killing the Dead, Searching for the Tomb

Without the support of his immortal powers, Shui Miao had reverted to an ordinary person, needing grains and other foods to replenish his energy and maintain vitality. Today’s wild chicken casserole, mixed with herbs, had a unique flavor. Shui Miao ate a lot of it, while Sister Tang only had a little.

However, it wasn’t long before the effects of the herbs kicked in. Shui Miao felt a wave of heat surge through his body, and a warm current stirred in his lower abdomen. Unexpectedly, his “little monk” became excited.

“Sister Tang, the phone! It’s an urgent call from your uncle!”

Sister Tang was caught up in her excitement, thrilled and waiting for Shui Miao to pounce on her, when her female friend suddenly ran over. Originally, Sister Tang had placed her phone with her friend on purpose to create an opportunity. But she never expected it to be a call from her father back home, informing her that her mother had been in a car accident and was now hospitalized, urgently needing money for treatment.

Upon hearing this news, Sister Tang’s mind cleared instantly. She hurried back to the car to call and find out more details, and then contacted Xiao Shuang, asking her to help transfer money online to her father.

Shortly after Sister Tang left, Shui Miao’s head became increasingly drowsy. He felt unbearably hot, and his “little monk” was on the verge of exploding. He quickly shut the yurt door, stripped off his clothes, and wiped himself down with water, hoping to lower his temperature quickly.

At this moment, however, Bai Erma, who had been hiding under the bed, slowly crawled out.

She sniffed the aroma from the casserole and let out a sinister grin, whispering to herself, “What a stroke of luck! I originally wanted to kill him for revenge, but now it seems I have a great opportunity for pleasure. This young man is full of vitality, making him the perfect target for me to draw yang energy to nourish my yin.”

Shui Miao shook his head, feeling increasingly dazed, and sat down on the floor.

Bai Erma took off her ragged clothes and approached Shui Miao from behind, placing her cool hand on his shoulder. In his daze, Shui Miao was helped onto the bed by Bai Erma, who straddled him. As Shui Miao’s “little monk” was enveloped in a warm, moist sensation, he suddenly became excited, as if he had found an outlet. He flipped over, pinning Bai Erma beneath him, and began thrusting wildly in primal motion.

At first, Bai Erma thought she had the upper hand, but after several hundred thrusts from Shui Miao, she began to feel overwhelmed. Wave after wave of pleasure left her dizzy, and she couldn’t help but let out moans of ecstasy.

“Ahh! Ahh! Slow down…”

“Slow down, you’re too strong. How can you be this amazing? It feels so good…”

“Don’t anymore, I can’t take it, ahh!”

Fearing that others outside might hear, she covered her mouth and continued to enjoy the intense thrusting.

Shui Miao thrust like a wild beast, and Bai Erma finally couldn’t take it anymore. She knew she had to do something to make this man, as strong as an ox, reach climax quickly. Otherwise, she would be overwhelmed first, her yin energy dispersing, with unimaginable consequences. So Bai Erma suddenly let go, clinging tightly to Shui Miao like an octopus, whispering moans into his ear, and writhing her lower body to help push Shui Miao to the peak.

After more than ten minutes, Shui Miao finally let out a loud cry, pressing tightly against Bai Erma’s pale, tender body as he ejaculated forcefully.

“Ahhhh…”

Bai Erma felt a surge of warmth flood into her body, sending her into ecstasy. Her entire body trembled involuntarily as she reached her climax.

Bai Erma was completely immersed in sexual bliss—it was the best she had ever felt in her life.

But immediately afterward, the last bit of Shui Miao’s soul-devouring power was shot into Bai Erma’s body. Bai Erma suddenly felt a coolness spread from her lower body throughout her entire being. Suddenly, she felt dizzy, as if her blood and energy were being released and dissolving, her yin energy vanishing. The coolness intensified, as if her entire body were freezing solid.

Her “little monk” was pulsing, and with each pulse, Shui Miao felt a surge of strength being drawn back into his body.

After pulsing three times, Shui Miao regained his senses, waking up with a start. He looked down and saw Bai Erma beneath him. To his shock, Bai Erma had transformed into an old woman with silver-white hair!

“What’s going on?”

Shui Miao was stunned, quickly pulling away from the bed. But by now, Bai Erma had been completely consumed by the soul-devouring power, gradually dissolving into a wisp of black mist that returned through his “little monk” into Shui Miao’s body.

Bai Erma was gone—completely devoured by Shui Miao’s soul-devouring ability.

Shui Miao shook his head hard, feeling as if he were dreaming.

“What did I just do?”

“It was like… like I just killed an old woman!!”

Shui Miao swallowed hard, staring at the bed in shock, unable to believe what had happened.

This couldn’t be real—it must have been an illusion!

He refused to believe it, but there were clothes on the floor—exactly the tattered clothes Bai Erma had worn earlier.

“Ugh!”

Suddenly, a chill surged into Shui Miao’s head, causing an intense headache. In desperation, he quickly climbed onto the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate to regulate his energy. Clearly, his soul-devouring power had absorbed Bai Erma, and the yin energy entering his body had caused discomfort and symptoms.

“What a strong yin energy! She actually cultivated such powerful yin-based spiritual energy!”

“Didn’t expect Bai Erma to walk right into my trap. She must have wanted to kill me, but failed, and instead was devoured by me!”

“There must have been an aphrodisiac in that chicken soup…”

“It must have been fate! Fate guiding me to continue my cultivation!”

“No, I can’t keep this yin energy. If I do, I’ll revert to my old self, bringing endless trouble from the Yuan Shi Tianzun’s avatar spirit again!” Shui Miao’s thoughts raced, caught between wanting to cultivate and fearing the return of his past troubles.

After much deliberation, Shui Miao decided that peace was hard-earned, so he resolved to expel the yin energy. With a focused thought, the yin-based spiritual energy in his body, which had not yet entered his dantian and solidified, began to evaporate through his pores. Instantly, the pressure lifted, the pain disappeared, and a sense of relief washed over him.

Although he intentionally expelled the yin energy, his soul-devouring power had doubled—it had been only a thread before, now it was a small stream.

“Shui Miao! Shui Miao!”

Sister Tang pushed the door, but it wouldn’t budge.

Shui Miao quickly dressed and shoved Bai Erma’s clothes under the bed before opening the door. He saw Sister Tang with red eyes, as if she had been crying.

Seeing that Shui Miao seemed lucid, Sister Tang concluded that Da’er Tu’s recipe was fake and had no effect. But at this moment, she had no time to dwell on that. She bit her lip and said, “Shui Miao, take me to the city, okay? My mother was in a car accident, and I need to rush back tonight. Also, I need to take some time off.”

“Okay, let’s go now…”

Shui Miao was shocked—this couldn’t be delayed.

“Thank you, Shui Miao!”

Sister Tang grabbed Shui Miao, burying her head in his chest, crying sadly.

Shui Miao was also deeply moved. He comforted Sister Tang briefly before taking her to the car, driving her to the city to meet with Lin Xue and the others, giving her some money. Together, they sent her to the airport, watching her board the plane before returning, four of them heading back.

On the way, Shui Miao decided to quickly finalize the location for the ranch and get back to work—he couldn’t afford to waste time anymore.

By the time they returned, it was already 2 p.m.

Shui Miao split the group, assigning Lin Zhi Ling and Xiao Shuang to distribute food and supplies to the herdsmen, while he and Lin Xue took the pickup truck back to Dantou Slope.

On the way, Lin Xue suddenly sighed, saying, “Shui Miao, to be honest, I think Zhi Ling’s chosen location isn’t good enough. It’s okay for fun, but not suitable for building a factory. Think about it—what kind of name is Dantou Slope? So many problems have already happened even before construction began. Could it be related to the feng shui here?”

“Lin Jie, the terrain here is flat, the river water is sweet, the land is fertile, and the vegetation is lush. The feng shui is actually quite good. It’s just that the corpse worms in Dantou Slope exceeded my expectations, and…” Shui Miao frowned slightly, “Also, I always feel there’s a huge tomb beneath Dantou Slope. I’ve had this feeling for a while, but without evidence, I couldn’t make any conclusions. That’s why we’re going back—to see if there’s really a tomb under Dantou Slope.”

“How will we see it? We don’t have any tools,” Lin Xue asked, puzzled.

Shui Miao closed his eyes and remained silent, playing mysterious.

When they arrived at Dantou Slope, Shui Miao stood at the top of the hill, looking around, then at the sun, and asked Lin Xue, “Do you know what Mongolians worship the most?”

Lin Xue smiled slightly, “You can’t fool me with that. I’ve been here for a while. Mongolians believe in the Eternal Blue Sky the most.”

“So, in the minds of ordinary people, what is the biggest thing in the sky?” Shui Miao smiled slightly.

Lin Xue frowned, “The sun?”

“Exactly, the sun,” Shui Miao nodded heavily. “So, if I were a Mongolian, the place I would most want to be buried would be a sunny, yin-avoiding spot. Considering tomb robbers, I would set up some false signs, like hiding the entrance to the tomb, and adding some dangers, like a large number of corpse worms.”

“Shui Miao, you must have figured something out, right?” Lin Xue couldn’t understand Shui Miao’s meaning, but she knew he must have had an idea. “Don’t beat around the bush—just tell me, how do you plan to get into the tomb?”

Lin Xue was anxious, but Shui Miao remained calm. He spoke slowly, “To get into the tomb, we first need to find the entrance. In a place like this, there are only two ways to completely block the entrance to the tomb. One is the filling method—using earth to build a large hill to seal the entrance. The other is the stone-moving method—bringing in a huge boulder to block the entrance. Looking at the terrain here, the height is uniform, so the filling method is basically ruled out. If you look ahead from here, don’t you feel like the terrain slopes slightly?”

“Yes, but it’s higher here, and gets lower as you go forward. That doesn’t make sense! On such a steep slope, who could push a big stone up?” Lin Xue was still confused. “Come on, Shui Miao, just tell me already!”

“Hehe, the problem lies here,” Shui Miao’s eyes were sharp as he pointed to a riverbed to the east. “That river is too straight—it doesn’t look natural. It must have been man-made, dug out and the soil used to fill this area. Perhaps because there were many trees growing here at the time, they rushed the project and cut down many trees to bury under the soil. Over time, with erosion from wind and rain, the trees rotted, leaving large hollow spaces underground. That’s why those worms, which aren’t good at digging, could survive underground here.”

“I get it!”

After hearing Shui Miao’s explanation, Lin Xue finally understood. There was indeed a possibility that a huge tomb lay buried here.
