Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 259 - 232: Corpse Awakening

The woman who was originally in the room, upon seeing them, seemed to finally find her ’pillar of support’ and rushed over without a second thought.

While running, she kept calling Li Sheng’s name.

"Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng!"

It was obviously the woman who had just called him.

She then directly threw herself into Li Sheng’s arms, instinctively hiding behind him.

From the closeness between the two, this woman was likely the wife Li Sheng had mentioned who was keeping vigil.

At this moment, they were both staring in horror at the coffin, which was swaying at its peak.

Mu Yunchu didn’t move but observed Li Sheng with probing eyes.

The latter was probably too nervous and, for a moment, forgot her presence, his whole being focused on the coffin before him.

"Quick, quick, where’s the rope?"

Li Sheng and his wife picked up a jute rope that looked even thicker than Mu Yunchu’s wrist, which had been placed nearby earlier.

The two each took an end, and after steeling themselves mentally, they gritted their teeth and rushed to the coffin. They circled the rope around the coffin again and again, hoping to stop its movement.

But clearly, this action was in vain.

The coffin, bound with several loops of rope, seemed to sway even more.

As if it was about to fling open the coffin lid at any moment.

Even Ye Zhixia watched the scene before him in terror.

He might be a ghost, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t be scared.

"It’s a resurrected corpse!"

Perhaps due to his immense fear, he didn’t notice Ye Zhixia’s increasingly grim expression.

And even though he had been in the room for quite a while, he still showed no intention of intervening.

Li Sheng and his wife were on the verge of losing control of the coffin, desperate, he could only hold onto the coffin tightly.

"Master, please, help us out here!"

Catching a glimpse of Mu Yunchu, he finally remembered the expert he had invited.

Mu Yunchu was someone he’d heard about from friends, all saying she was very skilled in these matters.

Since the other person couldn’t be found, he could only pin his hopes on someone else.

But seeing her reluctance to act, his heart sank halfway. He couldn’t help but wonder if she might not be able to handle this situation.

Exerting all his strength, Li Sheng could clearly feel something inside the coffin continuously pushing, trying to lift the coffin lid from within.

As for what was inside the coffin... there was no need to say more.

He didn’t even dare to open his eyes, only crying out for help in the direction of the door with his eyes tightly shut.

Ye Zhixia glanced worriedly ahead, then turned to look at Mu Yunchu, wanting to say something but hesitated, eventually remaining silent.

Just as they were about to lose their grip, Mu Yunchu finally moved.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the problem would likely be resolved now.

However, although she moved, she still didn’t act but merely walked a few steps forward.

Having braced himself and opened his eyes, Li Sheng didn’t feel any change around him, including the coffin.

Mu Yunchu stopped at the coffin’s position.

She first lowered her gaze for a look.

The coffin was made of excellent material, clearly having cost a lot of money.

Even as he sought her help, facing her unresponsiveness time and again, Li Sheng could no longer bear it.

His tone unintentionally became much more urgent.

"Master Mu, what are you doing standing there! Hurry and help me resolve this coffin!"

Mu Yunchu’s voice remained calm and unhurried. Although she hadn’t lifted her head, everyone could sense some displeasure from her tone.

"Are you asking me to help you deal with your father?"

Li Sheng choked.

Mu Yunchu’s words sounded odd.

He didn’t respond immediately.

But he quickly snapped back to focus on the continuously pushing coffin, "I don’t care what you resolve, I just need you to deal with this situation now!"

He furrowed his brows.

Perhaps due to some faint anger within, he didn’t seem as frightened as before.

Mu Yunchu finally lifted her head, her cold gaze sweeping over his face, and she asked, "I’ll ask you again, do you want me to deal with your father?"

"The way you handled matters before?"

As she finished speaking, Li Sheng’s eyes widened instantly.

Meanwhile, he forgot to exert force with his hands.

His wife’s strength alone wasn’t enough to hold back the coffin lid, and the rope had already suffered severe damage and snapped without them knowing.

In an instant, there was a loud ’bang’ as the coffin lid was flung away.

It hit the floor, startling everyone present.

The old man inside, eyes bulging and mouth agape, manifesting a look of ’dying with unresolved grievances’, reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

Whether it was due to a guilty conscience after Mu Yunchu’s words, or from seeing his father’s appearance again, Li Sheng stumbled back two steps.

"What, what are you saying?"

Even his voice unknowingly began to tremble.

He looked at Mu Yunchu in disbelief, but scenes involuntarily played in his mind.

Shaking his head next.

"No, I didn’t do anything."

Li Sheng couldn’t believe that Mu Yunchu could possibly know about his deeds.

Mu Yunchu wasn’t at all surprised by his outright denial.

She slowly looked over to Mr. Wei lying in the coffin, her lips parting lightly, her voice devoid of warmth, "Your father’s fate had at least five more years."

"You are the one who caused his death."

"If you don’t confess what you did, I won’t help you resolve this matter."

If Mu Yunchu left, the wrongful death of the old man might directly claim Li Sheng’s life.

Upon hearing Mu Yunchu’s words, Li Sheng stood there in a daze. Beside him, his wife could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears, falling to her knees.

"Old man, I’m wrong, we’re wrong!"

"We were led astray for a moment, please don’t hold a grudge against us for this!"

She cried, knocking her head on the floor, hoping to earn Mr. Wei’s forgiveness this way.

Ye Zhixia also noticed that this so-called daughter-in-law referred to her father-in-law with such a distant term.

Further observing their reactions, it was clear that there was something else going on!

Even though the woman kept apologizing, she never mentioned what they had done.

Even Li Sheng, standing stunned beside her, was the same.

Despite being terrified to the extreme, he alternately looked at Mu Yunchu and the coffin, several times trying to open his mouth but never saying anything.

Mu Yunchu’s eyes grew colder.

This man had the ’gambler’s’ mindset.

"It seems like you won’t give up until you reach the bitter end."

She sighed softly.

Then, the corpse in the coffin seemed to receive some command, suddenly sitting up straight.

Standing fully upright, it turned and stared intently at Li Sheng.

This time, the latter couldn’t hold it together, his legs buckled, and he fell to his knees with a ’thump’.
