351: Chapter 149: Woke Up to a Version Update 351: Chapter 149: Woke Up to a Version Update “Actually, my family has always been pushing to go on blind dates.”
Xia Yubing eventually got so worn down that she tied Li Mumu into a bundle and tossed her into the coffin, before starting to tell her stories.
The space inside the coffin was quite large, at least eight square ters.
Besides Xia Yubing’s own single bed, there was room for a computer desk, and setting up two computers for gaming wouldn’t be a problem at all.
The grade of this coffin was very high, which could be seen from the yellow wood on the outside.
That was top-quality cypress, a wood called Yellow Pine in ancient tis, and was especially prepared for burials of imperial kinsn.
The inner layer is the coffin, the outer layer is the chamber.
The space inside the coffin wasn’t just for holding a body; a variety of jars and other burial goods were to be placed inside…
Nowadays, there weren’t so many formalities.
Even if you could afford such a coffin, there weren’t that many people available to build grand tombs anymore.
“Personally, I don’t really care.
Whether I get married or what kind of man I marry doesn’t matter to ; after all, I’m already like this and can’t carry on his family line anyway.”
“But my family’s requirents are very high.
They want a good match, a handso face, an educated man, a young one, and soone with honest character.
They don’t want anyone who was executed for cris or died in accidents…
They don’t realize that such good n must have built up virtue in their previous lives, hence their fortunate lives now.
How could it be possible for one to just die for my sake?”
“I still rember the first man I t on a blind date.
His looks were not much to talk about, just not ugly.
His family owned a restaurant, and he died accidentally from an epidemic.
I thought he was okay, but my father absolutely disagreed and looked down on him…”
“Later, they found a general’s young son who was only eleven or twelve when he died, still a child.
I asked him how he died, and he said his brother had taken him to the brothel to gamble and smoke opium, and, in a daze, he fell from the third floor to his death.”
“Then there was the son of Landlord Liu, who got into his father’s concubine and, in a struggle, was accidentally killed by his father.
After dying, he turned into a Fierce Ghost and kept haunting his old man.
When he ca to et , he was handsy, and I just couldn’t stand it and ended up slapping him dead…”
“Later…
”
Ms.
Xia Yubing’s romantic experiences were quite abundant.
It seed that over the years, she was either on blind dates or on her way to them.
Although none worked out for this or that reason, her family was persistent, seemingly determined to marry her off no matter what.
Li Mumu was initially very interested, but even she couldn’t stand the repetitive nature of the stories.
By the eighteenth person, her eyelids were already fighting each other.
It couldn’t be helped; after all, they were only blind dates, not grand adventures in the Underground City.
n, after all, were pretty much the sa.
Poor Ms.
Xia Yubing, for not having gone mad from it all after so long.
The mont Li Mumu closed her eyes, she had no idea how long she slept.
She no longer had a mortal body, so there was no biological clock to wake her up.
Especially in this dark, silent, closed space where it was incredibly hard to wake up on her own once she fell asleep.
Until she was woken up by the noise outside.
“What on earth are they arguing about outside…
”
Rubbing her eyes, groggy from sleep, Li Mumu climbed out of the coffin, finally understanding the frustration Xia Yubing felt when soone disturbed her.
As everyone knows, if a person is woken up from deep sleep, their mind might not co online right away.
Demons and evil spirits function the sa way.
A person who is woken up might just be in a bad mood.
If a demon or evil spirit does not put their mind to use in ti, they really might turn into a nightmare.
The scent of flesh and blood coming from outside unconsciously made Li Mumu lick her lips.
She felt a bit hungry.
[You failed to notice that Xia Yubing was observing your reaction…]
A jolt zipped through her head, and Li Mumu instantly woke up, turning her head to see Xia Yubing solemnly watching her.
That was close—lucky , I have several brains to think with; even if one or two aren’t online, it’s not a big deal.
Li Mumu chuckled guiltily a couple of tis.
She’d been squatting in soone else’s coffin without knowing for how long.
But it must be said, that sleep was incredibly comfortable and made her feel as though her cultivation had progressed significantly.
This coffin must be so kind of Dharma Treasure!
Suppressing the urge to kill and loot, Li Mumu cautiously asked, “What’s happening outside?
Why is it so noisy?”
Xia Yubing, hugging her knees in the corner of the coffin, gave her a look of disdain and said coldly, “The headquarters of the Longevity Sect has been taken down by the Special Service Bureau.”
Ah?
How many years have I slept?
Li Mumu was greatly shocked.
She rembered going to the Red Lantern Society’s headquarters to watch the excitent, and then following the sisters in red to confront the Longevity Sect.
But before they even saw anyone, they were hit by a fireball and were nearly wiped out…
And now you’re telling their headquarters has been overrun?
I could’ve dragged out the plot for another two hundred thousand words, and I skipped it all with one sleep?
This open world is too free!
The noise from outside continued.
“I am a citizen of the Frank Empire!
I have diplomatic immunity!
You can’t treat like this!”
“I want to see my lawyer!”
“Shit!
There ain’t even a toilet here!
@#^$…”
What followed was a bunch of unintelligible chatter.
He was purely venting.
Even Li Mumu found the environnt of the Containnt Departnt oppressive, let alone others.
This guy hadn’t stopped blabbering since he was locked up, and it seed they hadn’t left him a key either…
“Shut up!”
“You shut the hell up!”
It seed there was more than one person locked up.
Li Mumu turned to ask Xia Yubing, “Didn’t they say we can’t speak loudly here?”
Xia Yubing nodded slightly, “You’ll soon see what happens to them.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a certain oppressive feeling coming from the depths of the corridor made all of Li Mumu’s hairs stand on end involuntarily.
“So people have a particularly bad temper when they wake up.”
Xia Yubing closed the lid of the coffin, leaving just a small crack open, “If you don’t want to be eaten, don’t make a sound.”
Eaten?
Before Li Mumu could figure out what was happening, she heard a scream coming from the distance.
“What the hell is this?
Help —mmm mmm mmm…”
The noisy voice was abruptly cut off, followed by the sounds of bones breaking, limbs being crushed, and loud, voracious eating.
Li Mumu shivered.
So of the residents in the Containnt Departnt held the keys to their own rooms and could co and go as they pleased, it’s just that they were usually in a deep slumber.
This was not a privilege granted only to her.
