"The old lady walking in front of us said slowly, 'The Black Dragon blocks the road, blocking your path to life! Even your retreat is cut off, how can you return to the Yang world!'"

"As the old lady spoke, I truly felt my steps becoming lighter and lighter, and my whole body felt like it wanted to float into the sky uncontrollably."

"The old lady chuckled coldly, 'You can't stand firm, can you? You are all sorcerers, you should know that when a person dies, their feet no longer touch the ground. You can follow me because you don't realize you're already dead.'"

"'I already killed you just now, but you just didn't know it. You're still holding on to that last breath, following me up the mountain!'"

"'Or, why don't you look back and see if there are corpses lying on the ground?'"

"A chill ran down my spine. I seemed to see myself lying beneath the two lanterns made of human blood, covered in blood, staring up at the bloody light with wide eyes."

"The old lady's voice grew colder and colder: 'Look back! One glance and a person's heart will die. Otherwise, how can you leave this road? If you don't believe you're dead, your soul can't enter the road to the Yellow Springs. Do you want to be wandering ghosts?'"

"I was getting a little impatient: 'Tell me, what's the point of a house cat like you not catching mice and pretending to be a ghost here?'"

"The old lady suddenly turned her head, revealing a pair of vertical eyes from under her white hair, staring at me and saying, 'Your cultivation hasn't been sealed?'"

"I said helplessly, 'Cats walk on tiptoes. Can you pretend to be an old lady with bound feet next time? Your feet are almost as big as mine, and you're still walking on tiptoes. If you're not a cat, what else could you be but a turtle without a shell?'"

"'You...' The old lady instantly bristled, arching her back and standing on the mountain path, her eyes locking onto my neck from above."

"I looked at her with a half-smile, tilting my head: 'Come on, bite here. I want to see, if you bite me to death, how will you explain it to your master?'"

"The old lady was so angry that her whole body trembled. Her hands clawed at the ground like a cat, but she didn't dare to pounce and bite me."

"Just as I was about to tease her a bit more, the gate of the large house on the mountain suddenly opened: 'Xiao Hei, I told you long ago, don't scare the guests. Getting your comeuppance, aren't you!'"

"With a 'meow,' the old lady transformed into a puff of black smoke and ran towards the gate."

"As I looked up, I saw a pair of slender white legs and half of a bright red qipao. A black cat, more than a foot long, was rubbing its head against those jade legs that were enough to make anyone's blood boil, nuzzling them pitifully."

"It wasn't that I wanted to look at her legs, but from the angle I was standing, I could only see her legs unless I craned my neck."

"A Jianghu person would never crane their neck in front of an opponent, as that would be like exposing their throat for the other person to cut."

"Before I could walk up, I heard her laugh softly: 'Little brother, do you think this sister's legs are pretty?'"

"'More than your legs, I want to see your face!' As I looked up, I finally saw her true face."

"Her exquisite face paired with the bright red qipao didn't make her look vulgar, but instead created a unique charm."

"I cupped my fist slightly towards her: 'Li Po of the Two Worlds Hall, seeking an audience with a fellow member of the Tu Clan.'"

"She raised a sandalwood fan and gently placed it on her bare shoulder: 'I am Wang the Butcher. You can tell me anything.'"

"I was slightly stunned when Feng Ruoxing transmitted his voice to me: 'Only the head of the Wang family in the Tu Clan can call himself Butcher.'"

"Only then did I realize and cupped my fist again: 'My apologies!'"

"Wang the Butcher laughed: 'I don't like people with too many rules. The more rules someone follows, the more boring they are. You dared to seal your cultivation and enter my Tu Clan, so you are a good friend. Keep those polite formalities for outsiders!'"

"'Haha...' I took a few steps forward while laughing: 'Wang family sister is straightforward enough, I like it!'"

"Wang the Butcher laughed: 'It's been many years since someone called me sister, and no one dares to call me sister. Come in and sit down.'"

"Wang the Butcher led me to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. She deftly placed four plates of meat dishes on the table. She took out a wine jar, used large white porcelain bowls, and poured a bowl of wine for each of the three of us: 'Little brother, this sister doesn't have anything good, only freshly butchered human meat and aged wine. Make do with it!'"

"As Wang the Butcher spoke, the chunks of meat piled on the plate rolled down, revealing a human hand placed under the plate."

"Wang the Butcher, whether intentionally or unintentionally, sat down in a way that shifted my line of sight, allowing me to clearly see the human skin draped over the courtyard wall."

"I picked up my chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat, and stuffed it into my mouth: 'They say you can tell what kind of person someone is by the kind of cat they keep. The cat loves to scare people, it must have learned it from you, right?'"

"Wang the Butcher looked at me with a smile: 'I'm not scaring you, you're eating human meat. Don't you feel like throwing up?'"

"I swallowed the piece of meat: 'I've already eaten it, even if I wanted to throw up, I couldn't throw it all up. It's better to swallow it!'"

"As I spoke, I picked up another piece of meat and stuffed it into my mouth: 'Besides, if zombies are handled well, they can still be used for cooking.'"

"'Haha...' Wang the Butcher laughed heartily: 'I've met so many boring people, today I finally met an interesting one. What is your relationship with the Undying Corpse?'"
