Sharing the Heavens from Douluo Continent

"All right, come out and eat!"

Uncle Nine watched Dai Changsheng and Ren Tingting for a while but said nothing more. He pulled Man Choi along to have breakfast.

After all, Dai Changsheng was already in his twenties, a grown man. It was time for him to marry and have children.

In Uncle Nine's eyes, Dai Changsheng, whom he had raised since childhood, was no different from his own son. Naturally, he hoped Dai Changsheng could marry a good wife.

To be honest, Uncle Nine was quite satisfied with Ren Tingting as his future daughter-in-law. Not only was she beautiful and well-mannered, but she was also a little rich girl who had inherited a huge fortune.

After finishing that somewhat awkward breakfast, Ren Tingting, who had attended school in the provincial capital, quickly adapted.

Although Ren Tingting was still too embarrassed to do intimate things like kissing Dai Changsheng in front of Uncle Nine and the others, holding hands was fine.

Seeing how affectionate Dai Changsheng and Ren Tingting were, the heartbroken Man Choi soon resigned himself to reality.

Ghostly Nonsense

If his rival had been Qiu Sheng, Man Choi might still have struggled a little.

But when it came to his Senior Brother, who crushed him in every aspect, Man Choi felt it was better to wash up and go to sleep early~

Dreams had everything!

Having been lectured by Dai Changsheng since childhood, Man Choi had no confidence and did not dare compete with his Senior Brother for a woman. He could only comfort himself inwardly: There were plenty of fish in the sea. Why pine after a single flower?

Time passed slowly, and before long, it was noon.

To entertain Ren Tingting, his future daughter-in-law, Uncle Nine had specifically instructed Man Choi to prepare several hearty dishes.

After finishing the lavish lunch, Uncle Nine instructed Dai Changsheng and the others, "Changsheng, later, scatter glutinous rice all over the courtyard. If I'm not mistaken, Old Master Ren should come again tonight."

"Master, there isn't much glutinous rice left at home, only two or three pounds," Man Choi, who was in charge of cooking, hurriedly reminded him.

"In that case, Changsheng, go to the rice shop and buy fifty pounds of glutinous rice."

Uncle Nine took out two silver dollars and handed them to Dai Changsheng. "Pick up some fruit and pastries while you're at it. Don't neglect Tingting."

"Yes, Master."

Dai Changsheng took the silver dollars Uncle Nine handed him and left the funeral home on his bicycle under Man Choi's envious gaze.

Whenever Dai Changsheng and the others went out with Uncle Nine for work, Uncle Nine would collect and save most of their wages under the pretext of building up their future marriage funds. As a result, the three of them rarely had more than one silver dollar between them.

When Dai Changsheng rode his bicycle to the nearest rice shop, he learned from the owner that all the glutinous rice had already been sold out.

Clearly, Ah Wei and his men had spread word that glutinous rice could deal with zombies. The townsfolk had rushed to buy it, emptying the rice shops.

Dai Changsheng did not waste time checking the other rice shops in town. Instead, he rode straight to the neighboring town.

By the time Dai Changsheng had bought fifty pounds of glutinous rice in the neighboring town and cycled back to Renjia Town, the sky was gradually growing dark.

"Help! Help! Help..."

Not long after Dai Changsheng returned to Renjia Town, cries for help suddenly came from an alley ahead.

Dai Changsheng instinctively looked toward the sound and saw the night watchman, who patrolled at night, tightly clutching a woman in white.

"Sir, save me!"

When the woman in white saw Dai Changsheng, she hurriedly cried for his help.

The moment Dai Changsheng saw her face clearly, his pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately understood where she had come from.

Was Dong Xiaoyu stupid, or did she think Dai Changsheng was stupid?

Dong Xiaoyu looked exactly like the portrait on her tombstone. Dai Changsheng did not have senile dementia, so there was no way he could have forgotten her face so quickly.

"You lecherous bastard! In broad daylight... no, in the middle of the street, you dare molest a respectable woman? Let go of her at once!"

Dai Changsheng suddenly shouted, leaping off his bicycle. He took a swift step forward and pulled the night watchman away from Dong Xiaoyu.

"No, no, I didn't..."

The night watchman whom Dai Changsheng had forcibly dragged aside saw Dai Changsheng shielding Dong Xiaoyu behind him without asking questions. He hurriedly tried to explain, only to see Dai Changsheng pull out a yellow talisman, spin around, and slap it onto Dong Xiaoyu.

"Ah!!!"

Caught completely off guard, Dong Xiaoyu felt a burst of searing pain and let out a scream as her body flew backward uncontrollably.

"You brazen demon! I could tell with one look that you weren't human!"

Dai Changsheng pointed at Dong Xiaoyu and scolded her before saying without looking back, "Old Uncle Wang, don't be afraid! With me here, this female ghost can't hurt you."

The middle-aged night watchman Dong Xiaoyu had framed was a famous old bachelor in Renjia Town. He had been a night watchman for over twenty years.

Since Old Uncle Wang passed by the funeral home every night while making his rounds, Dai Changsheng naturally knew him.

"Changsheng, good thing you came in time, or my late-life reputation would have been ruined~"

Hearing Dai Changsheng's words, Old Uncle Wang finally understood. Dai Changsheng had not been fooled by the female ghost's appearance at all. He had deliberately put on an act of saving a damsel in distress to make the female ghost before him lower her guard.

"Sir, I've been wronged~"

Dong Xiaoyu, pinned down by Dai Changsheng's Spirit Suppressing Talisman and utterly unable to resist, could only put on a pitiful expression. "Sir, do you remember the incense stick you offered to me at the back mountain of Renjia Town several days ago? I only wished to offer myself to you in marriage to repay your kindness~"

"Bullshit! Is this how you repay kindness? You're just shameless. You're after my body!"

Dai Changsheng was not fooled by Dong Xiaoyu's frail appearance. He sneered, "If you truly wanted to repay me, you could just get me some ownerless money.

"As for offering yourself in marriage, do you think I'm an idiot?

"If I had a few romantic nights with you, all the yang energy in my body would be sucked dry by you!"

"Sir, I really didn't..."

"Enough! Stop spouting your ghostly nonsense. I can't be bothered to listen!"

After speaking, Dai Changsheng turned to Old Uncle Wang. "Old Uncle Wang, can I borrow your wine gourd?"

"Here!"

Though Old Uncle Wang was somewhat confused, he still took the wine gourd from his waist and handed it to Dai Changsheng.

"Splash..."

Under Old Uncle Wang's pained gaze, Dai Changsheng pulled out the stopper and poured out the half-gourd of wine inside.

"Demon, get in here!"

Dai Changsheng raised the wine gourd in his hand, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and drew a Bagua symbol on the bottom of the gourd.

"No—"

As Dai Changsheng activated his spiritual power, an invisible suction force emerged from the wine gourd and directly sucked in Dong Xiaoyu, who had lost all ability to resist.

The Spirit Suppressing Talisman pinning Dong Xiaoyu down was also controlled by Mental Power and firmly stuck to the wine gourd.

The reason Dai Changsheng had not killed Dong Xiaoyu outright was not because he pitied her beauty. It was because she was quite powerful and proficient in illusions, and he intended to take her for his own use.

Having Dong Xiaoyu deal with powerful cultivators might be asking too much of her, but she was more than capable of tormenting ordinary people like Ah Wei or gathering intelligence.

After sealing Dong Xiaoyu into the wine gourd, Dai Changsheng took out an Exorcism Talisman and handed it to the dumbfounded Old Uncle Wang. "Old Uncle Wang, keep this Exorcism Talisman. Carry it on you when you make your rounds in the future, and you won't need to worry about encountering those unclean things again."

Subduing the Young Miss

"Th-then... isn't this too much?"

Old Uncle Wang spoke politely while snatching up the Exorcism Talisman as fast as he could.

Having witnessed Dai Changsheng subdue the female ghost with his own eyes, Old Uncle Wang knew that he was a young Taoist with real ability. Of course, he would not refuse an Exorcism Talisman that could save his life.

"Old Uncle Wang, I'll be going now!"

Dai Changsheng finished speaking, propped up his fallen bicycle, and rode back to the funeral home.

"The air is dry, beware of fire!"

After watching Dai Changsheng disappear at the end of the street, Old Uncle Wang picked up his fallen gong and mallet and resumed his night watch.

"Dong, dong, dong..."

When Old Uncle Wang reached the street near the Ren Family residence, an eerie sound suddenly came from ahead. Old Master Ren, dressed in tattered official robes, came hopping toward him.

"Mother! A zombie!"

Old Uncle Wang froze for a moment before turning and running in terror.

To be honest, this was the most exciting night Old Uncle Wang had experienced in over twenty years of night watch duty. Not only had he run into a female ghost, but he had encountered a zombie too.

At that moment, Old Uncle Wang had only one thought: he would quit tomorrow!

Whoever wanted this cursed night watch job could have it. He definitely was not doing it anymore, unless they raised his pay!

Because Old Uncle Wang carried an Exorcism Talisman, he naturally emitted an aura that demons and ghosts loathed. Therefore, Old Master Ren had no intention of pursuing him and instead hopped toward the funeral home.

"Master, I'm back!"

Meanwhile, Dai Changsheng had ridden his bicycle back to the funeral home ahead of Old Master Ren.

"Changsheng, why did it take you so long to return?"

Facing Uncle Nine and the others' puzzled looks, Dai Changsheng explained honestly, "Master, all the glutinous rice at the rice shops in our town had sold out, so I could only go to a rice shop in the neighboring town. The round trip took time."

"I see."

Uncle Nine showed a look of understanding before turning to Ren Tingting. "Tingting, take Changsheng to have dinner first!"

"Mm."

Since Uncle Nine and the others did not know when Dai Changsheng would return, they had already eaten dinner. However, Ren Tingting had specially set aside some food for Dai Changsheng in advance.

Seeing Ren Tingting's gentle and bashful manner before Dai Changsheng, Qiu Sheng's eyes were full of envy.

Qiu Sheng was supposed to have stayed at his aunt's house for dinner, but he had specifically come to the funeral home to win over Ren Tingting, the little rich girl.

Yet when Qiu Sheng excitedly arrived at the funeral home, Man Choi told him that Ren Tingting had become their sister-in-law. It was like a bolt from the blue!

Fortunately, Dai Changsheng carried immense authority as their Senior Brother. After a brief period of disappointment, Qiu Sheng quickly accepted the cruel reality.

"All right, stop standing around, you two. Hurry up and scatter this glutinous rice throughout the courtyard."

Under Uncle Nine's urging, Man Choi and the others had no time to envy Dai Changsheng. They scattered the glutinous rice while chatting nonsense.

Boom!!!

With a deafening crash, the newly repaired funeral home gate was violently knocked down once more. Old Master Ren, covered in tattered clothes with a green face and protruding fangs, appeared before Man Choi and the others.

"Master, Senior Brother, save me! The zombie is here..."

Seeing this, Man Choi turned and fled in terror, directly abandoning Qiu Sheng.

When you unexpectedly encounter a wild beast in the wilderness, you do not need to run faster than the beast. You only need to run faster than your companion!

"Damn it! Man Choi, you bastard!"

Seeing Man Choi abandon him and run, Qiu Sheng could not help cursing. He immediately lifted the wooden basin in his hands and splashed all the glutinous rice inside at Old Master Ren.

"Crackle, crackle..."

The glutinous rice striking Old Master Ren caused sparks to burst across his body, as though he had been hit by firecrackers, forcing him to stagger several steps back.

"Qiu Sheng, well done! Your Senior Brother is here!"

Just as Qiu Sheng was about to turn and flee, Dai Changsheng, who had heard the cries for help, rushed out first and gave a powerful flick of his arm.

A carpenter's ink line with copper coins tied to both ends shot out like a meteor hammer.

The instant the ink line touched Old Master Ren's feet, the copper coins tied at either end spun around his legs several times from inertia.

"Crackle, crackle..."

Flames erupted from Old Master Ren's feet as the ink line wrapped around them, rendering him unable to move.

A carpenter's ink line could be used like this too?

Uncle Nine, who arrived immediately afterward, saw Dai Changsheng restrain Old Master Ren's legs with the ink line alone and could not help showing a surprised expression.

I've learned it! I've learned it! Next time I encounter a zombie, I'll use the ink line like this too.

Before the surprise on Uncle Nine's face had faded, Dai Changsheng flicked out another ink line tied with copper coins, instantly wrapping it around Old Master Ren's arms.
