The Cursed Emissary's Resurrection Chapter 4

The crowd stood far away on all sides, not daring to get close, leaving a piece of open space in the middle, which was wet with water.

In the middle of the water lay the swollen and pale body of a middle-aged man. His already bulging abdomen seemed to be inflated and rounded like a giant ball, and he looked extremely bloated. His fat face looked like it had been cut by rough stones, with wounds all over it. It was whitened by the water and his original appearance could no longer be seen.

Three or five people from the police station came, separated the onlookers, and squatted down to examine the body.

Chase Rong's face darkened slightly, and he whispered, "It should be Mr. Wu from Jinyuxuan. He was wearing the same outfit when I came. The ring on his thumb was cut from his most precious piece of jade. There are only a few of them in the whole Haicheng."

Just when I was about to look for him, something happened. Is it such a coincidence?

Asher Gu's eyes were solemn. Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly paused. As if he sensed something, he looked into the distance.

A car drove from the end of the street and stopped near the river bank. The sheriff jumped out of the car, opened the door, and came out with a thin young Taoist priest with a mustache and wearing a light yellow Bagua Taoist robe.

The Taoist priest had a whisk on his arm and his narrow eyes drooped, looking quite ethereal and immortal.

The sheriff respectfully led the Taoist priest to the river bank to check Boss Wu's body.

"This is Taoist Xuanxu from Fengyang Temple outside the city," Chase Rong sneered, "It is said that he has been performing rituals for the old man from the Li family in the south of the city these days. I don't know if it's true or not, but he has made a lot of money. What is this Taoist doing here? Is he investigating vixens too? Do you think he has real skills?"

Asher Gu only glanced at Xuanxu, then looked away and said, "Not as good as me."

Chase Rong almost laughed out loud, his lips flushed red. He patted Asher Gu's shoulder and whispered in Asher Gu's ear: "Baby, you are so immodest."

Asher Gu glanced at Young Master Rong's eyes, which were naturally romantic and affectionate, and his heart was slightly moved.

Before he could say anything, he saw Xuanxu, who had just circled around Boss Wu's body, had stopped. The sheriff waved his hand, asking the patrol officers to clear the area, and whispered to Xuanxu: "Master, what do you think?"

Xuanxu glanced around. The people of Haicheng had seen all kinds of storms and waves. They were not afraid of the rebuke from the police station and refused to leave in order to watch the excitement. However, they stayed further away, looking in curiously.

Under the gazes of so many people, Xuanxu coughed lightly, raised his chin slightly, took out a foot-long peach wood sword from his waist, and took out a yellow talisman from his sleeve.

He held the yellow talisman between his fingers, shook it gently, and said coldly to the sheriff beside him: "Stay away, if you interfere with my practice, I will punish you regardless of life or death."

The sheriff seemed to be really frightened and took a few steps back, pushing the police from the patrol station.

Xuanxu attached the yellow talisman to the peach wood sword and drew it in the air. The yellow talisman instantly ignited without fire and turned into ashes in an instant.

. With a light push of a palm and a sweep of wind, the flying ash fell right on Boss Wu's body.

Almost instantly, a white mist suddenly emerged from the entire corpse, and the mist emitted a strong fox smell, choking those who were close to it and causing them to cough and step back.

The fog was blown away by the wind, and Boss Wu's body disappeared. A bloody fox head appeared from his long gown and jacket.

"W-What is this?!"

"Monster! Monster!"

"Run, why are you running! The Taoist priest is still here! What are you afraid of!"

The people who were originally watching the fun screamed and scattered in panic. The sheriff grabbed two young policemen who were about to escape and shouted bravely.

Xuanxu seemed to be startled when he saw the fox suddenly appear. His originally dazed expression changed at the sheriff's roar, and he quickly returned to the appearance of a mysterious master.

He shook his whisk, quietly moved a few steps away, coughed, and said, "It's just a little vixen, and it's already dead. It has no power to harm anyone, so there's no need to panic."

The sheriff swallowed and said, "Look at this... Is this the work of the water ghost you want to catch?"

Xuanxu shook his head solemnly: "Water ghosts are not as powerful as people imagine. They can only deal with children with weak constitutions. They stay away from adults, especially men, who have too much yang energy. If you get close, you will be burned. And this fox spirit can transform into a human form, so it must be a cultivated one. Although water ghosts are cunning and difficult to catch, they are just small ghosts and can do nothing to this fox spirit."

"That......"

Xuanxu flicked his whisk and said, "We still need to think about this matter carefully. Take this body and go back first."

The people from the police station got a cart, pushed the fox's body on it, and left behind the car.

The spectators who were watching from afar had all grown up hearing stories about weasels eating people, so they were very brave. They discussed the weird things happening in the street corners for a while, wishing they could describe Jinyuxuan as a second Pansi Cave.

As noon was approaching, the gossipers, who were thirsty, dispersed and went home to cook.

"What are you hiding from?"

"I don't want to care."

The teahouse was gradually becoming less crowded. Chase Rong, who had been sitting there listening to some gossip, touched Asher Gu's fingers with his tea bowl: "Is that the smell on me... from this Boss Wu?"

This was the first time Chase Rong had seen such a big and strong vixen. He couldn't believe it for a moment and couldn't help but sneer, "If all vixens looked like this, then no one would like to watch the collections in the market and the new movies in the cinema."

The first time Asher Gu saw Boss Wu's body, he was sure that the mark on Chase Rong was made by this Boss Wu. There was no malice, it was more like a label. So he just wiped it off and did not cast a spell to backfire. Moreover, this Boss Wu had no grudges and should not have harmed anyone.

Being buried in a human body after death is considered a lavish burial for a monster, so Asher Gu did not reveal it.

But now that Xuanxu has revealed Boss Wu's true identity, there is no need for Asher Gu to hide it.

"Spirits, ghosts, and gods are actually not what people imagine them to be."

There were too many people around, so Asher Gu could not say much. He lowered his head slightly and whispered in Chase Rong's ear, "It is not easy for many monsters to cultivate into human form. It is difficult for them to change their form at will. The charm of a fox is based on the enchanting fox fragrance."

The elusive warmth blows against my ears.

Chase Rong wanted to avoid it, but also wanted to get closer. In the end, he had to stiffen his neck and touch the tea bowl uncomfortably. "Boss Wu's death was too coincidental. Can you tell how he died?"

Asher Gu shook his head and said, "He has the aura of a water ghost, but as Taoist Xuanxu said, water ghosts can't kill him. Don't worry, the mark has been removed, and you're fine."

Chase Rong's brows relaxed when he heard this, and he said as if relieved: "That's good. I'm really afraid that a 300-pound vixen will fall in love with me and cry and make a fuss and insist on marrying me. I can't bear it."

As he spoke, Chase Rong squinted at Asher Gu mischievously, as if hinting at something.

"In the eyes of a vixen..." Asher Gu raised his phoenix eyes slightly, looked at Chase Rong, and said slowly, "Mr. Rong is indeed attractive."

Chase Rong was stunned for a moment, slapped the money on the table, and said solemnly: "Hey, check out."

Chase Rong was worried whether Mrs. Rong had a mark on her body, so he took Asher Gu back to the Rong family for lunch.

Rong Peijing was in the foreign company and would not be back at noon. When Mrs. Rong heard the noise, she immediately came out to greet him. Her eyes lit up when she saw Asher Gu.

The woman in her early fifties had fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her manners were generous. Compared with many wealthy ladies, she was more capable and straightforward. In her early years, she was also a heroine on horseback.

"Fei'er is a little naughty, Asher Gu, don't spoil him." Sitting at the dining table, Mrs. Rong said with a smile.

Asher Gu felt unusually awkward, his already straight back became a little stiff, and he felt a bit like a young son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law, feeling guilty.

His expression was indifferent, the corners of his lips moved slightly, and he said: "Mr. Rong is fine."

Chase Rong's originally gloomy expression immediately changed, his eyebrows raised, and he picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and gave it to Asher Gu.

"You'll know later. He's a little bully who's very annoying!" Madam Rong smiled with her teeth showing, and exposed Master Rong's past without any courtesy. Seeing that she was extremely satisfied with Asher Gu as her male wife, she paused and said casually, "By the way, Asher Gu, did your master tell you about the engagement?"

Asher Gu swallowed the fat braised pork that Young Master Rong had brought him, and agreed with the term "teasing the spirit" and said, "No."

"This matter, actually..." Mrs. Rong repeated what she told Chase Rong, and smiled at the end, "I think you two are quite compatible, your personalities complement each other, you are steady, so you should take care of him more. I also asked someone to match your horoscopes, and it seems that you are a perfect match made in heaven, you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your lives, and your descendants will be blessed..."

Chase Rong paused while picking up the food, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

Descendants...

He glanced at Asher Gu, but couldn't read any emotion on that cold and handsome face.

He is the only son of the Rong family, it is impossible for him to be childless. So the bold words he made to Asher Gu today were really just a joke.

As my mind turned to this, I suddenly felt irritated.

Young Master Rong thought that maybe Asher Gu had cast a curse on him, and he wanted to end his family lineage for a man he had only met twice, so Young Master Rong could no longer hold back. When Madam Rong and Asher Gu put down their chopsticks, he immediately dragged them upstairs and said casually, "Let's take a nap."

Mrs. Rong understood very well: "Sleep well, sleep well."
