I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 573: Severed Finger Seeks Ghost Corpse

"Mr. Fan spent the New Year with Yue Yao in Yizhou Prefecture, and now he's back in the Southern Border."

"Wang Xiaowan went with Master Shouyi to Qingwei Palace for a visit, and now she's back home, cultivating."

"Daoist Yuan Jing came by, saw you weren't here and left, leaving behind some herbs, saying they came from the Secret Realm of Jiming Temple. Oh, by the way, Monk Guangyue returned to Rizhao Temple, and it seems he hasn't come back yet."

"During the New Year, Cai Niang and some others came to pay a visit. It was quite lively for a few days. It's a pity you weren't here."

"We visited the River God's Mansion on the Lushui River, played a few rounds of mahjong with Madam Li."

Afterward, during the chat, Liu Qingyan and Shen Ying snuggled up to Lu Zheng on either side. The three of them shared a blanket, while their hands were busy with small movements, telling him about the happenings of the past month.

"The most interesting part is about Qian Bao'Er. The Jade Dragon King said he's dealt with the Demon Dragon, and Qian Bao'Er can go back," Liu Qingyan said.

Lu Zheng blinked, then already guessed the follow-up, "Qian Bao'Er refuses to go back?"

Liu Qingyan nodded, unable to hold back her laughter.

"Not only does she refuse to go back, but she also won't tell her parents where she is, saying she's worried the Dragon Palace's Demon Dragon hasn't been completely eradicated. She wants to stay here a bit longer, I mean, hide for three more years."

"Hide for three years..."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "Is she trying to force the Jade Dragon King to use extraordinary measures?"

The Jade Dragon Race is so profound. That Demon Dragon couldn't find Qian Bao'Er. Lu Zheng believed the Jade Dragon King should have a way; it's just a matter of the cost involved.

Ever since Lu Zheng got the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror, he felt like he was peeping on all sorts of big shots.

"The Jade Dragon King and his wife are still very indulgent towards Qian Bao'Er. They're not angry, just expressed their gratitude to us, saying they'd thank us in the future."

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Did you show your face?"

"No, it was conveyed by Qian Bao'Er," Liu Qingyan said, then looked at Lu Zheng, "Even if the Jade Dragon King said the Demon Dragon was cleared, is Lu Lang still worried?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "You never know. It's better to be safe than sorry. After all, Mr. Fan and Master Shouyi have left. If the Demon Dragon unexpectedly appears, the only one nearby is Master."

Liu Qingyan laughed, "Qian Bao'Er is also very cautious. She communicates only indoors and doesn't reveal her location."

Shen Ying chuckled at the words, unable to help but add, "Maybe she doesn't want the Jade Dragon King and his wife to come and drag her back."

Liu Qingyan, "..."

"Oh, and there's one more thing. Five days ago, Lord Chu from the Anomaly Suppression Bureau came by and left a severed finger, asking for your help."

"A severed finger?"

Shen Ying nodded, "It looks like a severed finger of a human woman."

"Where is it?"

"In Taohua Village. The severed finger still emanates a bloody aura. I placed it under the old peach tree to suppress it," Shen Ying said.

"Okay, I'll make a trip over there later," Lu Zheng nodded, "I didn't expect so many things to happen during the month I was out."

"There's no need to wait. You should go now. It's a matter for the Anomaly Suppression Bureau. Even a slight delay might lead to innocent people being harmed," Liu Qingyan said, "And Qingyan also wants to see how Lu Lang uses the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror to find someone."

Lu Zheng thought it was a good idea too, so the three of them got dressed and rode the white clouds to Taohua Village together.

The Peach Blossom Celestial Maiden and Xiaocui greeted them and led them to the backyard where Lu Zheng immediately saw a jade box placed in the center of a stone table under the old peach tree.

Around the stone table, as many as eighteen pink peach blossoms bloomed out of thin air, with a Peach Blossom Evil aura enveloping the area, isolating the jade box's qi.

Shen Ying gestured with her hand, the Peach Blossom Illusion disappeared, and the jade box flew into her hand, which she then handed to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng opened the jade box to find a forefinger placed in the center of the box.

An inch and seven fen long, slender and fair, with a healthy pink glow. The oval-shaped nail had a touch of healthy-looking moon white, parted by three fen, appearing delicately well-maintained.

Just by looking at this finger, one could imagine that its owner was an absolute beauty.

Unfortunately, there's only a finger now...

Moreover...

"Corpse Qi?"

Lu Zheng's eyes flashed as he thought of the Enchanting Corpse Bai Yuqing he encountered in the Netherworld before.

Though it was a corpse, the texture was surprisingly nice. With just one palm strike, the flesh still had its elasticity.

Ahem...

Shen Ying nodded, "The perpetrator had exceptional Concealing Breath Technique, killed a member of the Anomaly Suppression Bureau, and only left a severed finger behind."

Lu Zheng was surprised, "Killed a member of the Anomaly Suppression Bureau? Who was it?"

The Abnormal People of the Anomaly Suppression Bureau aren't weak; at the very least, they have over a hundred years of Dao practice, not lacking in secret techniques or dharma artifacts, mostly capable of fighting up a level.

"I don't know, Lord Chu said it was an outcast cultivator with the surname Li," Shen Ying said.

Lu Zheng nodded, though it sounded a bit heartless, it was a relief that it wasn't someone he knew.

"No wonder Lord Chu came personally. Turns out it cost an Abnormal Person's life."

Lu Zheng expressed his understanding, then patted his gourd, taking out the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror.

He wasn't too concerned. Judging by how she had slain an ordinary Abnormal Person of the Anomaly Suppression Bureau without even having the time to take the severed finger along, her Dao practice couldn't be that great.

Manipulating the Seal Technique, he took the Corpse Qi from the severed finger in hand and followed the rune spell seal of the Treasure Mirror to cast a spell to find someone.

The next moment, the originally reflective surface of the Treasure Mirror turned into layers of mist.

Then, the mist in the mirror started to dissipate layer by layer, the image inside became clearer and clearer, eventually revealing...

Two intertwined, bare bodies, one with graceful curves, the other large and corpulent.

Lu Zheng, "..."

Liu Qingyan, "..."

Shen Ying, "..."

Liu Qingyan immediately covered her eyes with both hands, "What the heck!"

Lu Zheng was also speechless, while Shen Ying, on the other hand, was analyzing, "The man is moving vigorously, but his expression is off. It's either he took some aphrodisiac or he's under the Evil Technique of this Enchanting Corpse."

"Oh, is that so?"

Lu Zheng blinked, shifting the view angle of the mirror, "You know, it's true; seems like he's lost awareness and is moving reflexively. At this rate, he could end up dead."

"This Ghost Corpse couldn't be that stupid, right? Otherwise, it would be exposed quickly?"

Shen Ying paused, "Hey, it stopped, collapsed. Both are foaming at the mouth, but it seems they're still alive, just severely exhausted."

"Not bad, given how overweight he is, he probably feasts on lavish meals regularly. Even just once wouldn't shorten his lifespan too much."

"But with severe exhaustion, ordinary medicine probably won't help him anymore."

"He'd better cultivate mindfulness, just observe in normal times."

While Lu Zheng and Shen Ying commented on the scene, Liu Qingyan was more reserved, stomping her foot as she urged, "Stop watching! Quickly find out where they are and inform Lord Chu!"

Lu Zheng laughed out loud, casually zoomed the lens out, and saw where the Ghost Corpse was located.

Tonglin County!

Chunfeng Building!
