The Four Folk Immortal carried the lacquered red coffin and turned back, heading towards the wooden cabin where Serena Nie and Ethan Shu were seated.
Clara Ning quickly stood up and blocked their path, anxiously explaining, "General, my sister is bathing and changing inside!"
"Dare to stop us?"
A thick, long yellow tail emerged from behind the Yellow Immortal, whipping towards Clara Ning like an iron lash.
The force was so great that the air exploded with a sharp whistle.
Clara Ning flicked her fingers, and her red sleeve elongated and stretched out, wrapping around the Yellow Immortal's tail and immediately binding it.
The Yellow Immortal tugged its tail, pulling Clara Ning towards it, baring its sharp canine teeth and extending its weasel-like claws to grab her.
Clara Ning hummed lightly and used the armrest to block the Yellow Immortal's claws.
With the other delicate hand, she seized the opportunity to slap the Yellow Immortal several times.
"Clap, clap," the sound was particularly pleasing and loud in the quiet ancient forest.
Clara Ning took the chance to retreat and, before the Yellow Immortal could speak, preempted, "How dare you, Yellow Immortal! My sister and I are about to marry The Black Mountain Demon. How dare you hit me?"
"To hit the fiancée of the Black Mountain Demon, what are your intentions?"
"You…"
The Yellow Immortal was choked by Clara Ning's words.
The General said, "Alright, you and Serena Nie haven't married with the Black Mountain Demon yet, have you?"
"Let's talk about it after you've crossed the threshold."
"Now, to confirm whether Serena Nie is hiding a living person, it is necessary to investigate."
"After all, considering your sister Serena Nie's character, she is kind-hearted and may easily hide a living person from you, her older sister, which is quite normal."
Since the General spoke personally, Clara Ning had no reason to continue blocking them.
Clara Ning could only shout loudly, "My sister is bathing and changing. You must not disturb her!"
The Yellow Immortal snorted, its small green eyes filled with anger, saying, "With my nose here, I can find the location of a living person with just a sniff, without disturbing Serena Nie."
Clara Ning led them to the front of the house, knocked on the door, and said, "Sister, the General has come to visit."
Serena Nie replied through the door, "General, I am currently bathing and changing. I cannot rise to greet you. Please forgive me."
"It's alright. Continue as you are."
The hoarse voice of the General came from inside the lacquered red coffin.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, slamming the door open with a "bang."
Behind a screen, a graceful figure could be faintly seen sitting in a wooden tub, covered with a white dress.
Serena Nie pressed down the white dress, half covering her upper torso and half covering the water surface of the tub, revealing only her smooth and jade-like shoulders.
In fact, the General was lying inside the coffin, and The Five Folk Immortal were notoriously bad-sighted.
Separated by the screen, they couldn't see anything clearly at all.
Serena Nie scolded, "General, why have you done this?"
The General, lying dead inside the lacquered red coffin, ignored Serena Nie and asked the Yellow Immortal, "Can you smell where the living person is?"
The Yellow Immortal sniffed the air a few times with its nose and shook its head with a bad expression.
"The scent of a living person in the air is very faint. I can't find the exact location."
Clara Ning said beside, "General, do you believe me now?"
"It's really just some things my sister brought back from the mortal world."
"Maybe it's just these things emitting a hint of a living person's scent, which the suspicious Yellow Immortal smelled."
The Yellow Immortal was angry but couldn't find evidence to refuteit, so it could only stare in frustration.
The General said indifferently, "Fox Immortal, you are a woman. It's convenient for you to go inside."
"Go in and investigate to see if there is a living person."
The Fox Immortal nodded and replied, "Yes, General."
On one side of the coffin, the Grey Immortal replaced the Yellow Immortal in carrying it.
Then the Fox Immortal entered the house to search for Ethan Shu.
Clara Ning nervously watched the Fox Immortal's back, her delicate hand hidden in her sleeve tightening involuntarily.
If there were any unusual movements, Clara Ning would unleash her full strength in an instant.
Fortunately, Clara Ning was a female demon; otherwise, she would surely be nervous enough to sweat now.
The Fox Immortal looked around the room, circling the house, then glanced at the wooden tub where Serena Nie was soaking and left the room.
"General, there are no living persons here."
The Fox Immortal reported.
"Good. Let's go."
The mournful music played, and The Four Folk Immortal carried the coffin away, with the Fox Immortal scattering paper money in their wake.
Before leaving, the Fox Immortal remarked, "Clara Ning, you're already dead as a female demon. Why do you still need to soak in a bath?"
Clara Ning smiled and replied, "Maybe it's a habit from my lifetime that has stuck with me."
"Although I don't sweat or get dirty, I'd definitely feel uncomfortable if I didn't wash for a few days."
The Fox Immortal waved her hand, scattering a handful of paper money, and said, "I'm leaving. I'll come find you and Serena Nie to play when I have time."
The Five Folk Immortal and the General walked away, their figures disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Clara Ning quickly returned to the room, shut the door with both hands, leaned against it, and exhaled deeply, feeling like she had been drained, "That scared me to death…"
"Splash!" Water splashed everywhere.
Ethan Shu suddenly emerged from the wooden tub, breathing heavily, "I was almost suffocated!"
Serena Nie patted the edge of the tub and spun around.
The clothes draped over the screen and the tub flew over, wrapping around Serena Nie, allowing her to instantly dress.
Clara Ning approached Ethan Shu, who was drenched, and said, "Stupid monk, you're lucky to have escaped the General's discovery."
"Otherwise, you would be dead for sure."
Ethan Shu pressed his hands together and bowed, saying, "Thank you, two lady benefactors, for saving my life. I will definitely repay this kindness to you."
Clara Ning said angrily, "Now you call us lady benefactors? Just now, you were about to make Buddhist liberation for us!"
Ethan Shu smiled calmly and said, "I'm still inexperienced in the world. How could I have known that in such a murky demonic realm like Black Mountain, there are also lotus flowers growing?"
Clara Ning was about to argue with Ethan Shu further, but Serena Nie floated forward and said, "Alright, sister. It seems that the little monk didn't mean it. Let's not be too hard on him."
Clara Ning took Serena Nie's delicate hand and pulled her closer, saying, "Sister, you're not attracted to the little monk because he's handsome, are you?"
Serena Nie's pale cheeks turned slightly red, and she half-covered her face with her sleeve, saying, "How could that be…"
Clara Ning glanced at Ethan Shu and said, "No? Are you taking sides against me?"
