The man on the other end of the phone coughed dryly, "Yu Ye, my bank card is frozen. The money will be there tomorrow."
Before he could speak, Yu Daohén hung up the phone and found a WeChat contact, transferring twenty yuan.
The moment Yu Daohén tapped to transfer, the other side immediately received it, so fast that Yu Daohén wondered if they were cheating.
Yu Daohén put away his phone. Although this guy was always greedy for small advantages and loved playing mahjong, his skill in corpse retrieval was second to none in the business.
"Brother Yu, why don't you sleep for a bit first."
As Yu Daohén was thinking, Xu Yayá walked out from the backyard, a smile on her face.
Yu Daohén yawned, "Alright, then I'll go back to my room and get some sleep."
Xu Yayá nodded obediently, and Yu Daohén walked towards the room in the backyard.
"Daddy." A voice called out from the well as the dragon fish surfaced.
Yu Daohén nodded with satisfaction. Ever since he returned from the Greater Khingan Range, this little guy's words had become sweeter and sweeter.
However, ever since he got this spirit pearl, Yu Daohén noticed that the temperature in the backyard had also dropped.
Yu Daohén had just reached the door of the room and hadn't pushed it open when a voice came from the large well beside him, "I thought you weren't opening the shop and were planning to change careers to open a shelter."
Yu Daohén rolled his eyes. This guy was referring to Zhou Fu.
"I've already told him to find any hotel to stay in from now on." Yu Daohén knew clearly that this guy didn't like strangers staying in his shop.
"Hmph!" A light hum came from the large well, and then there was silence.
Yu Daohén pushed open the door and sat cross-legged on the bed to meditate. After this week, his body had almost recovered. Yu Daohén had also gotten used to not being able to smell anything, but he couldn't see anything with his eyes, which occasionally caused some inconvenience.
Around three in the afternoon, Zhou Fu arrived at the Midnight Shop after buying clothes. Xu Yayá saw someone walk in and said, "I'm sorry, this shop only opens after twelve midnight."
Zhou Fu shook his head and said, "I've met Senior Sister at the Yanhuo Sect."
His master had taught him to call unfamiliar men "Senior Brother" and unfamiliar women "Senior Sister."
Xu Yayá was stunned for a moment before she realized. Brother Yu had mentioned that the Yanhuo Sect had sent a disciple, who was very dark-skinned. This must be him.
"Brother Yu is still sleeping, so please have a seat." Xu Yayá said.
Zhou Fu nodded. His master had instructed him not to cause trouble for the sect leader.
At four in the afternoon, on the old street, a burly man with a buzz cut was walking. The man was wearing a white t-shirt, and the setting sun shone on him, accentuating his strong muscles. If he were to be compared to anyone, it would definitely be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, with a large backpack on his back.
As he walked down the street, people made way for him. They believed that this guy's fists, as big as sandbags, could kill them with a single punch.
The man walked to the end of the Midnight Shop and looked at the three large characters "Midnight Shop" on the signboard, a lewd smile appearing on his face.
Xu Yayá, inside the shop, saw a burly man standing at the entrance smiling at her and instinctively took a step back.
Seeing this, Zhou Fu also became nervous, his hand already reaching into his pocket for a yellow talisman.
The man's eyes lit up as he looked at the dishes on the table. Xu Yayá, seeing the perverted man, was about to run to the backyard to call Yu Daohén.
"Brother Su, you've scared them."
Unbeknownst to them, Yu Daohén had already come out from the backyard.
Zhou Fu and Xu Yayá looked at him simultaneously. Yu Daohén had tied up his hair, wearing a black shirt and a grey windbreaker. If he was handsome before, he was now aloof.
The man rubbed the back of his head, "I haven't eaten all day."
Yu Daohén rolled his eyes and introduced him to Zhou Fu and Xu Yayá, "Corpse retriever, Su Lai."
Su Lai coughed dryly and briefly introduced himself, "I am Su Lai, a corpse retriever. You can call me Brother Su."
As Su Lai spoke, he sat down, and the others followed suit.
"The dishes are quite abundant, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, I like it."
Yu Daohén was somewhat speechless. This guy earned over ten thousand yuan for retrieving one corpse a month. If he didn't gamble, his life would be quite comfortable, but this guy just loved to gamble, and what's more, he never won. He was nicknamed "Su Bu Ying" (Su Never Wins).
Su Lai didn't stand on ceremony, picking up a piece of braised pork and starting to eat.
"Brother Su, this time it might be a bit tricky. Be careful." Yu Daohén said after swallowing the food in his mouth.
Su Lai patted his chest, "Yu Ye, you can completely trust my strength."
Yu Daohén was somewhat helpless but had to admit that although this guy looked unreliable, in the business of corpse retrieval, he was indeed one of the strongest.
"This young brother looks unfamiliar. May I ask which sect you belong to?" Su Lai sized up Zhou Fu beside him.
Zhou Fu glanced at Yu Daohén beside him. Seeing Yu Daohén nod, he then introduced himself, "Zhou Fu, a disciple of the Yanhuo Sect."
Upon hearing the name Yanhuo Sect, Su Lai looked at Yu Daohén beside him. Rumors had long circulated in the martial world that Yu Daohén knew the Flame Swallowing Art. Coupled with the fact that the person beside him was a disciple of the Yanhuo Sect, it was easy to guess the relationship between Yu Daohén and the Yanhuo Sect.
