Reunion

"Come on, please!"

Liu Daimei pleaded coquettishly, deliberately angling her neckline toward Gu Sheng’s line of sight and showing off her ample assets.

"Gulp!"

Gu Sheng swallowed involuntarily. Those two great treasures were several sizes larger than Xin’er’s little treasures. If only…

No! I can’t fall for this!

Gu Sheng hurriedly steadied his mind and stopped looking at that alluring sight. This was merely the sugar coating Liu Daimei, that beautiful snake, had prepared for him.

If he really succumbed to temptation and went to a hotel with her, it would indeed feel great. When vampires drank human blood, their fangs injected a kind of venom that made people feel as though they were getting high, their whole bodies relaxing. Gu Sheng did not want that experience.

"Ugh! What a boring guy!"

Seeing that she could not trick Gu Sheng, Liu Daimei wrinkled her delicate nose and stopped. It was not as though she could really offer her body and sleep with Gu Sheng. After all, he was her best friend’s man.

"Xin’er won’t be out of school for a while. Where are we going?"

Liu Daimei hummed, her voice no longer soft and seductive as before.

"Banshan Cemetery!"

Gu Sheng tightened his grip on the backpack in his hand and reached inside to touch the soft, cool Jade Azure Serpent. Ever since arriving in the modern world, perhaps because the Spiritual Qi here was simply too thin, the little fellow had done nothing but sleep every day, drink a drop of Vermillion Fruit Wine, and sleep again… The cycle repeated endlessly.

"Banshan Cemetery? What are you going there for?"

Liu Daimei asked in surprise, but her hands did not slow down. She quickly changed lanes and drove toward Banshan Cemetery.

"Vroom~~~"

After a burst of braking, the sports car came to a steady stop outside Banshan Cemetery. Gu Sheng drove around and found a shop that made urns. Rather than ordering one from the owner, he borrowed money from Liu Daimei and bought a half-finished one directly.

"Why are you buying an urn?"

Liu Daimei was utterly confused. Chu Xin had not mentioned anything like this before coming!

"To help someone find peace in death!"

Gu Sheng returned to the sports car and took out the backpack. He pulled open the zipper on the sheet, then poured all the ashes inside into the urn, making sure not a single bit was left behind.

After Tang Lie died, the system on him had drained all his energy to protect itself, then broken through the void in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately, it had encountered the well-prepared Multiverse Reincarnation System, which had swallowed it whole.

"These are ashes! You could have told me!"

Liu Daimei covered her small mouth and complained. No matter how much martial power this woman possessed, in certain respects she was still an ordinary woman, and she was extremely taboo about certain things.

Gu Sheng ignored Liu Daimei’s grumbling. Carrying the urn on which he had carved the words "Tang Lie" with his finger, he walked toward the cemetery’s newest section.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Liu Daimei hurried after him.

There were not many "residents" in the new cemetery. Gu Sheng soon found Li Xiaoyun’s grave. In the black-and-white photograph on the tombstone, a pretty, refined, and gentle-looking young woman smiled faintly, her smile making people feel very comfortable.

Right beside Li Xiaoyun’s grave was the shared grave of her parents. Tang Lie had arranged all of this before taking revenge.

"Miss Li, sorry to disturb you. Please don’t take offense!"

Gu Sheng crouched down. Under Liu Daimei’s astonished gaze, he abruptly lifted the cement slab covering the urn, then quickly placed Tang Lie’s urn accurately on the other side.

Gu Sheng replaced the cement slab and used the glue he had prepared to seal the grave again. He moved quickly throughout the process. It was not Tomb-Sweeping Day or any similar occasion, so there were very few people in the cemetery. Since Gu Sheng was quick as well, no one noticed anything unusual.

"Are you crazy? Damaging someone else’s grave is against the law!"

After Gu Sheng stood up, Liu Daimei nervously glanced around. Only after confirming that no one had noticed did she let out a sigh of relief.

"I merely helped someone find peace in death! The person in this urn killed the family that had caused this girl’s death in order to avenge her and her family!"

As he spoke, Gu Sheng bowed once toward the shared grave of Tang Lie and Li Xiaoyun. Then he turned around and walked away, continuing to speak as they left the cemetery.

"Toot toot~"

The two of them chatted as they walked, soon returning to Liu Daimei’s sports car. They unlocked it and were just about to get in.

"Gu Sheng!"

A surprised, uncertain call came from behind. Gu Sheng instinctively turned around and immediately regretted it. As expected, it was indeed someone he knew.

"Little Brother Gu Sheng, what a coincidence! How come I’ve run into you again today?"

Le Erya jogged up to Gu Sheng. Her black sedan was parked nearby, and Lin Qinghe had just gotten out and was walking over. It seemed they had only just arrived at the cemetery.

"Big Sister Xiao Ya! Big Sister Qinghe!"

Gu Sheng greeted the two women with a stiff expression, cursing inwardly. What kind of terrible luck do I have? Of all times, I had to run into these two just as I was leaving.

"Hello! And this is~"

Le Erya greeted Gu Sheng. Lin Qinghe had arrived by then as well, but her gaze immediately locked onto Liu Daimei beside him. She felt that this woman was far from simple.

If Liu Daimei had known what Lin Qinghe was thinking, she would certainly have protested bitterly. Girl, I’m not simple, sure, but isn’t the harmless-looking guy beside me—the one who looks as if anyone could bully him—the truly dangerous one?

"My name is Liu Daimei. I’m Little Brother Sheng’s girlfriend!"

Liu Daimei linked her arm through Gu Sheng’s and deliberately pressed her ample assets against him so he could feel them.

"She’s my girlfriend’s older sister!"

While Gu Sheng enjoyed the contact, he immediately exposed Liu Daimei’s "lie." His real girlfriend was the little girl Chu Xin. Although she had not fully grown yet, Gu Sheng liked her age and personality very much. She was soft and delicate, easy to push over, and did not resist his excessive behavior much.

"Hmph~"

Liu Daimei shot Gu Sheng a flirtatious sidelong glance but did not object to his explanation.

"You have a girlfriend?"

Le Erya looked greatly shocked, then continued questioning him. "How old is she? What does she do? How did you meet…?" She rattled off a whole string of questions, waiting for Gu Sheng to explain.

"Xin’er and I…"

Gu Sheng naturally could not tell the truth. He casually made up a story about an online romance. As he continued, however, he drew Le Erya in, and she kept pressing him. "More, more!"

"If I didn’t hear wrong just now, she’s a high school student and still underage!"

Lin Qinghe seized on another key point, her phoenix eyes fixed sharply on Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng lowered his voice. "Xin’er is already sixteen. If she’s willing, it shouldn’t be illegal, right?"

"That depends on the circumstances!"

Lin Qinghe snorted. "If there was any inducement involved, it could still be considered…"

"That’s right! That’s right!"

Le Erya’s eyes shifted, and she hurriedly chimed in. "So some people shouldn’t be counting on getting lucky. If you end up causing a pregnancy, you’ll be in trouble!"
