Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Big Brother Needs a Little Help From You

Cheng Yuan asked with a smile, "Take a look. Doesn’t this tomb look like a Lotus Seedpod?"

The two men nodded.

"It does."

Cheng Yuan said in a gentle voice, "In a moment, no matter what you see, don’t get nervous and don’t scream. Otherwise, you’ll startle the Yin Spirits, and all our efforts will be for nothing."

The two men nodded, then clamped their hands over their mouths, terrified of making a sound.

Cheng Yuan chuckled. "No need to be that tense. I’ll actually need your help."

Huh?

The two men stared at each other in confusion.

Cheng Yuan asked gently, "Have you ever learned any nursery rhymes? In a moment, I need you to lie behind the grave and sing them."

This...

The two felt a massive headache coming on. They were a couple of rough old guys; how would they know any nursery rhymes!

Cheng Yuan saw the awkwardness on their faces and said gently, "It’s fine if you can’t sing. In that case, just use your most tender voices to call out—’Baby, come home for dinner,’ or ’Baby, come home for bed.’"

The two men smiled wryly.

"This... alright then."

They did as they were told, lying down behind the tomb and calling out in what they believed were their most tender voices.

"Baby, come home for dinner!"

"Baby, come home for bed!"

...

After a full ten minutes of shouting, their throats were a bit dry, but there was no reaction. They looked at Cheng Yuan questioningly.

Cheng Yuan sent them a telepathic message: "Keep it up, it’s starting to work!"

The two didn’t dare stop and continued their very gentle calling.

As they called out, the moon emerged from behind the dark clouds, and a single, pure moonbeam shone down upon the Lotus Seed.

The Luminous Pearl on the Lotus Seed suddenly flared with light!

The entire Lotus Seed became suffused with an incomparably sacred aura!

Seeing this strange phenomenon finally appear, the two men called out with even more vigor.

The light of the Luminous Pearl and the moonlight complemented each other, growing brighter and brighter until it was almost blinding!

Tang Sihai and Tang Jian Countguo instinctively closed their eyes. Cheng Yuan’s telepathic voice suddenly rang in their minds: "From this moment on, do not make another sound!"

A chill went down their spines, and they quickly shut their mouths.

When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to see a silver lotus flower gradually materializing within the sacred, silvery light!

Seven thumb-sized children were jumping and laughing on the lotus flower.

"Grandpa, Grandma, come out and play with us!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, tell us a story!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, give us a hug!"

...

Tang Sihai and Tang Jian Countguo clicked their tongues in amazement. Their admiration for Cheng Yuan was beyond words. From this moment on, Cheng Yuan was their God!

However, the scene that followed gave them an even bigger shock!

From the depths of the tomb beneath them, two aged voices drifted up.

"Our sweet treasures, don’t be anxious. Grandpa and Grandma are coming out now."

"Grandma loves hugging her sweet treasures most of all."

The voices had barely faded.

Two aged, illusory figures floated out of the tomb and began to play happily with the seven children!

Tang Sihai and Tang Jian Countguo’s scalps tingled. ’Holy shit, this is too damn freaky!’

But the two remembered Cheng Yuan’s instructions and clamped their hands tightly over their mouths, not letting a single sound escape.

Like a phantom, Cheng Yuan waited until the two old phantoms and the seven children were absorbed in their play. With a flash, he rushed to the Lotus Seed and seized the Lotus Seedpod that was radiating a sacred light!

Cheng Yuan gave a hard tug, pulling the Lotus Seedpod out of the silver ball of light!

The two elders and seven children were instantly alerted. They turned to Cheng Yuan, their faces filled with rage.

"You little thief! How dare you harm our Yao Family’s Pine Seed Feng Shui Formation! Die!"

"You thief! I command you to return our Yao Family’s Fengshui Spirit Root at once! Otherwise, I will bring ruin upon your household! You will wake up from nightmares every single day!"

The seven children, however, were whimpering and crying.

"Big brother, give us back our home! We can’t live without a home!"

"Big brother, don’t destroy our home, or we’ll all die!"

"Big brother, our cultivation has not been easy, please show mercy!"

...

Cheng Yuan glanced back. Though the seven children’s words were pitiful, their faces were utterly ferocious.

Cheng Yuan had no doubt that if they caught up to him, these seven children would not hesitate to tear him to shreds!

Tang Sihai and Tang Jian Countguo were trembling with fear!

They didn’t even dare to breathe!

’Holy shit!’

’These things are flying in the sky!’

’Could they really be ghosts?’

Soon, Cheng Yuan ran to the front of the Tang Family tomb and stopped.

The two elders and seven children spread out in a fan shape, completely surrounding Cheng Yuan.

The old woman stared at Cheng Yuan with a chilling gaze. "Kid, why don’t you keep running? What’s wrong, you stopped? Today, I will tear you to a million pieces!"

Cheng Yuan grinned. "Just you?"

"And me!" the old man stepped forward.

"And us!" the seven children chimed in.

Utterly unafraid, Cheng Yuan said in a deep voice, "Xiaojiu, come out."

WHOOSH! Cheng Yuan released Xiaojiu. Her current power was infinitely close to that of a Ghost King. For the old man and the seven children, this was a battle on a completely different level.

After sensing Xiaojiu’s aura, the old man and old woman were like mice that had seen a cat. WHOOSH! They turned and fled!

But how could Cheng Yuan let them go?

Cheng Yuan raised his hand, pointed at the old man and old woman, and said coldly, "Xiaojiu, destroy them!"

"Okay! Hehe..."

Xiaojiu giggled sweetly. With a flash, she appeared more than ten meters away, blocking the old couple’s path.

The old man and old woman looked at each other. They knew they wouldn’t be getting out of this alive!

"Let’s fight them!!"

Baring their fangs and claws, the old man and woman charged at Xiaojiu, lunging to bite her!

Unfortunately, their bite wasn’t very strong; they couldn’t even break Xiaojiu’s skin.

With a disgusted look, Xiaojiu grabbed the old man. Her small, delicate hand squeezed slightly. RRRIP! As if tearing a piece of paper, the old man’s yin soul was ripped to shreds!

His form and spirit were utterly destroyed, never to be reincarnated!

The old woman was scared witless. THUD! She dropped to her knees.

"Mercy, great lady! This old woman..."

Before she could finish, Xiaojiu grabbed her. With another slight squeeze, the old woman was also torn apart like paper, dissipating into the air like a wisp of green smoke.

This scene terrified the seven children!

’This big sister is too terrifying!’

’Grandpa and Grandma were so strong, but they couldn’t even withstand a single move!’

The seven children wanted nothing more than to flee for their lives, but their home was still in Cheng Yuan’s hands. Without the protection of their home, they would be burned to death by the True Fire of the Sun at dawn.

A quick death was better than being roasted by the True Fire of the Sun!

With looks of utter despair, the seven children fell to their knees and looked pleadingly at Xiaojiu!

"We have never done anything evil. Please, sister, give us a chance to enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Xiaojiu looked at Cheng Yuan questioningly. Cheng Yuan grinned. "Little ones, this big brother won’t kill you. In fact, I can even give you your home back! However... this big brother needs a little favor from you."
