Chapter 3

I accidentally fell asleep again. Age brings drowsiness.

But this time I couldn’t stay asleep-someone was digging up my grave.

The grating sound of claws scraping against the coffin lid was especially jarring.

I stared at the coffin lid above me, my heart racing with excitement.

“Finally!”

Bang! A loud noise exploded next to my ear as the coffin lid was violently thrown open.

The dim moonlight illuminated the monster pressed right up against me. It had a rat’s face on a human body, with a head of white fur-ugly and terrifying.

Its sharp fangs lunged straight for my throat, but I reached out and grabbed him by the neck.

The Rat Ghost’s bloodshot eyes swiveled, and when he saw my face, his pupils shrank sharply.

I grinned at him. “Got you, you stinking rat.”

“You got away a hundred years ago. Let’s see where you’ll run this time.”

The Rat Ghost’s shrill cry rang in my ears: “You damned old hag! How are you still alive!”

He struggled free and leaped off the coffin.

I wasn’t about to let him off so easily. I lightly kicked off the bottom of the coffin, flew out, and grabbed his long, slender tail.

Seventh Lord and a few men stood below, frozen in shock.

Clearly, they were here to cover for the Rat Ghost.

“R-Rat Immortal?”

I kicked the Rat Ghost to the ground. “Rat Immortal?”

“A stinking rat that’s been skulking in the gutters for nearly a century is worthy of being called an immortal?”

Hearing this, the Rat Ghost’s whole body began to tremble.

His eyes were bloodshot, glaring fixedly at me.

I planted a foot on his face. “And another thing! This young lady hates being called old!”

The Rat Ghost was pinned down, unable to move.

I formed hand seals, and a golden Eight Trigrams Array materialized in my palm.

The Rat Ghost let out a piercing shriek: “He Qi! Help me! If I die, you won’t live either!”

He Qi, who had been dumbfounded, snapped back to his senses. He looked up at me, his eyes now free of fear.

He snatched up an iron shovel from the ground and swung it straight at me.

I sidestepped and kicked He Qi flying.

“Stay out of my way!”

But that brief window was enough for the Rat Ghost to break free from my grasp.

With all his might, he darted far away, filled with smug triumph: “Yun Ruyi! You’re nothing special after all!”

With that, he dropped to all fours and bolted into the dense forest.

I narrowed my eyes, a chilly gleam flickering in my gaze. I bit my finger and pressed it against the Dragon Token on my chest.

The blood was instantly absorbed the moment it touched the jade-green Dragon Token.

I shouted in a low voice: “Husband, help me!”

A dragon’s roar rang out from the Dragon Token, and then a Black Dragon Shadow swiftly took form, shooting off in the direction the Rat Ghost had fled…
