Chapter 1 Dealing with the Coffin

　　The talisman was lit.

　　However, the coffin didn't catch fire. Clearly, the Yin energy emanating from the coffin blocked the flames from the talisman.

　　Li Yuan's expression turned unsightly at the sight. He glanced at Yuan Muye, but Yuan Muye looked as calm as ever.

　　Li Yuan felt the pressure on him suddenly increase, and the Yin energy here became even heavier.

　　Li Yuan didn't delay and told Yuan Muye about the situation.

　　Yuan Muye immediately said to Li Yuan, "Captain Li, your strength is still insufficient?"

　　Li Yuan chuckled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to Yuan Muye's words.

　　"Captain Yuan, what do you think we should do?"

　　Li Yuan's gaze fell on Yuan Muye.

　　Yuan Muye stared at the coffin, then slowly said, "Since we can't burn this coffin, we can only open it directly. I want to see what kind of fierce creature is inside."

　　"Opening it directly might not be realistic, right? This coffin is completely suppressed by Yin energy right now. Breaking through the Yin energy and opening the coffin is basically impossible."

　　Li Yuan said.

　　Yuan Muye thought for a moment and said, "Let's make a bet. If I open the coffin, you call me 'daddy,' how about that?"

　　An awkward expression appeared on Li Yuan's face. He didn't expect Yuan Muye to come at him with a father-son game.

　　"What, you don't dare?"

　　Yuan Muye saw that Li Yuan didn't speak, so he continued to prod.

　　"Why wouldn't I dare? There's nothing I wouldn't dare."

　　Li Yuan didn't believe that Yuan Muye could open the coffin lid, so he added, "Captain Yuan, don't deny it if you lose later, okay?"

　　"Don't worry, I'll definitely own up."

　　Yuan Muye walked closer to the coffin.

　　He indeed felt a very heavy Yin energy, but even with such heavy Yin energy, Yuan Muye could handle it.

　　On the contrary, Yuan Muye was quite calm at this moment.

　　At this time, Yuan Xiaoyao's voice sounded again, "Brother, you must be careful."

　　"Yeah, I know."

　　Yuan Muye replied without batting an eye.

　　His hand landed on the edge of the coffin. Without delay, he began to exert his strength.

　　The true qi (true energy) in his body diffused, and a faint layer of light was released from his body surface.

　　As this layer of light spread out, it quickly dispersed some of the surrounding Yin energy.

　　Seeing this scene, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. He never expected Yuan Muye's strength to be so strong.

　　After waiting for a while, a "creak" sound rang out as Yuan Muye exerted his strength.

　　The coffin lid was lifted, revealing a gap, and the Yin energy became even heavier for a time.

　　Yuan Muye put down his hand and walked towards Li Yuan.

　　Li Yuan's expression changed, and he began to feel a little flustered. He stared at Yuan Muye.

　　Yuan Muye didn't mince words and said directly, "Alright, you can call me 'daddy' now."

　　"Negative emotional value from Li Yuan +299..."

　　"What? Going back on your word? Captain Li, you can't do that."

　　"Negative emotional value from Li Yuan +399..."

　　In an instant, Li Yuan's emotions seemed to be stimulated by Yuan Muye.

　　He immediately retorted, "Go back on my word? When have I ever gone back on my word? It's just calling you 'daddy,' right? I'll call you..."

　　Just as Captain Li was about to call Yuan Muye "daddy," Yuan Muye suddenly smiled and said, "Captain Li, I'm just joking. How could I really make you call me 'daddy'?"

　　Yuan Muye naturally knew that it's best to leave a way out for future encounters.

　　Li Yuan was stunned for a few seconds and didn't say much.

　　Who would want to call someone else "daddy"?

　　"Captain Li, you can leave. I'll take care of things here next."

　　Although the relationship between Yuan Muye and Captain Li wasn't that great.

　　But Yuan Muye didn't want to see Captain Li die here.

　　Yuan Muye stayed here because he had *Lingbo Weibu* (a movement technique) as a foundation, planning to use it to escape at any time.

　　"Captain Yuan, are you sure you're okay alone?"

　　"No problem, stop talking nonsense and leave. If you don't leave, then you stay to deal with this coffin, and I'll leave."

　　As soon as Yuan Muye finished speaking.

　　He immediately received a reminder of Li Yuan's negative emotional value, "Negative emotional value from Li Yuan +99..."

　　Compared to Yuan Muye, he knew his own strength very well.

　　If he stayed here, he would almost certainly die.

　　"Captain Yuan, then I'll leave first."

　　"Yeah, go."

　　Yuan Muye said lightly.

　　He watched Captain Li leave. To be honest, he was a little reluctant.

　　Because he could get some more negative emotional value from Captain Li, and then he would be able to pay off the debts he owed.

　　But it was almost enough now, not much was owed.

　　When he got out of here, he would spar with Captain Li again, and then all the negative emotional value should be resolved.

　　After paying off the debt, Yuan Muye would upgrade the Lion's Roar skill.

　　Having one more skill meant having one more path to take.

　　This was the most sincere thing Yuan Muye was thinking about at the moment.

　　After his figure completely disappeared, Yuan Muye's gaze returned to the coffin.

　　At this time, Yuan Xiaoyao also came out of the Big Fish Sword and looked at Yuan Muye, "Brother, are you really going to move this coffin?"

　　"What else can I do if I don't move it? If I don't complete the mission, it will be difficult to explain, and I also feel that killing the evil spirit in this coffin should help me."

　　Now Yuan Muye held the official position of Earth Deity of the Underworld.

　　It was basically impossible to connect this official position to the Underworld.

　　If he wanted to connect, he would definitely have to get a promotion and a raise.

　　Then the only way was to kill evil spirits.

　　Of course, killing ordinary evil spirits would definitely not work.

　　He had to kill some powerful evil spirits.

　　This coffin contained at least a Level 4 evil spirit, and possibly even a higher-level evil spirit.

　　After Yuan Muye finished speaking, Yuan Xiaoyao suddenly said, "Brother, the moment you lifted the coffin, I felt that the ghost inside was even more powerful than the female evil spirit you dealt with that night."

　　Yuan Xiaoyao suddenly said this, which made Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel uneasy.

　　"Are you sure?"

　　"Yeah, I'm sure."

　　Yuan Xiaoyao gave a definite answer.

　　The last evil spirit was a Level 5 evil spirit, and it didn't take Yuan Muye much effort to deal with it.

　　But it wasn't an easy thing either.

　　Now he was dealing with something even stronger than the previous Level 5 evil spirit.

　　Yuan Muye had to start measuring his own abilities.

　t should still be manageable, right?

　　Yuan Muye began to mutter in his heart.

　　After waiting for a while, Yuan Muye said, "There's nothing to say, let's try it first, and if it doesn't work, we'll run."
