Chapter 203 - 202: The God Stick Scam Got to Buqiu’s Head
Yu Changkong followed Qin Liuxi out of the Coffin Shop and glanced back. The little ghost was sitting at the door, chomping away on the candy Qin Liuxi had given him. When someone passed by, he even stretched out a foot, causing the person to stumble and nearly fall flat on the ground. The intention to curse arose, but upon turning back and seeing the Coffin Shop, they dared not curse aloud and instead picked themselves up and walked away, grumbling softly.
The little ghost stood with hands on hips, pointing at the person’s retreat and laughing heartily. When he noticed Yu Changkong still watching, he made another grotesque face.
Yu Changkong diverted his gaze and hastened to catch up with Qin Liuxi, only to see her enter a shop specializing in Ingot Candle Incense. She left some pieces of broken silver and ordered various items such as incense candles, ingots, and paper money, with the instructions to have them delivered to the Coffin Shop at the end of the hour.
Hearing that the delivery was for the Coffin Shop, the Shopkeeper paused for a moment and looked at Qin Liuxi. "Little Daoist, could it be that Old Man Guan, he..."
Qin Liuxi smiled faintly and said, "He will depart tonight."
Upon hearing these words, the Shopkeeper sighed and handed the broken silver back to her. "We are all familiar faces on the same street; there’s no need for this. When the time comes, I will have prepared everything and send it over, to see him off as my parting gift."
"Blessings to the Infinite Heavenly Venerate, you should still charge something. This isn’t exactly a fortunate matter after all." Qin Liuxi refused to accept the money and simply left.
After leaving the Funeral Shop, Qin Liuxi ran into several other shops, again ordering an assortment of items, finally arriving at a restaurant called Cheng’s. She ordered a banquet to be sent to the Coffin Shop at dusk.
Yu Changkong watched her meticulously manage each task and couldn’t help but gaze at her more intensely. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"That old gentleman, is he close to the end of his life?" Yu Changkong couldn’t hold back and asked.
Qin Liuxi exclaimed, "I thought you had noticed?"
