Chapter 11 - 7 Funeral Shop
As soon as Xu Qing stepped onto Underground Street, he smelled a scent that made every pore of his body involuntarily relax.
Passing the Incense and Candle Shop, the wax oils brought a fresh laurel fruit fragrance combined with the unique scent of animal fats.
Going by the Paper Mache Shop, the aroma echoing that of freshly burnt joss paper over a grave made it irresistible.
Walking a bit further, although the Coffin Shop didn't have anything that made his mouth water, the subtle fragrance of the unpainted coffins gave him a sense of coming home late at night and collapsing onto a soft bed.
He really wanted to rush into the shop right now, find a solid coffin, and sleep in it for a few days...
Walking down Cemetery Street, Xu Qing felt a cat-scratch dog-bite sensation inside his heart, his mind filled with lavish images of feasting on candles, guzzling the scent of burnt offerings, and drunkenly lying in coffins afterward.
Using his self-awareness and willpower to forcefully suppress those chaotic thoughts, he found himself in front of the shop set up by Liu Youdao.
The shop's facade was made up of three interconnected panels, allowing any panel to be removed as needed during daily operations.
For example, you could remove just one panel during bad weather like strong winds or heavy snow; on sunny days with a clear sky, all the panels could be removed to welcome guests.
