Yu Huang was speechless.
“What are you planning?” Since it was serious enough to shorten her lifespan, it was probably nothing good.
Sheng Xiao said, “Dig up a grave.”
Dig up a grave.
A fierce look flashed across Yu Huang’s eyes as she picked up her coat from the sofa and put it on as she walked out of the room. “Let’s go dig graves!”

Two hours later, they arrived at the Beast Tamer Cemetery in Jingdu.
The Beast Tamer Cemetery in Jingdu was located on a mountain range in the northwest of Jingdu. It occupied an area of more than 200,000 square meters.
Here, all the Beast Tamers of the Divine Moon Empire with Master cultivation levels and below were buried. Most Masters were proud to be buried in the Beast Tamer Cemetery in Jingdu after their deaths.
Typically, the children of the direct disciples of large families who died prematurely would also be buried in this cemetery.
The bone marrow of a Beast Tamer contained spiritual power, so after they died, they couldn’t be cremated. They all had to be buried in the Beast Tamer Cemetery. After a hundred years, the spiritual power in their bones would completely dissipate and be dealt with together.
It was quite tragic. Civilians could be cremated directly after they died, while most Beast Tamers had to die again a hundred years later.
Standing at the foot of the mountain range, Sheng Xiao told Yu Huang, “All Beast Tamers below the Supreme Master level will be buried in the Beast Tamer Cemetery. Liuli Tengfei’s husband is a direct disciple of the Xuanyuan Clan, so their child was also buried in this cemetery.”
Sheng Xiao pointed at the hill in the west of the mountain range. “That mountain is the burial ground of the Xuanyuan Clan.”
Then, Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand and quickly arrived at the center of the western hill.
The corpses of the fallen Beast Tamers of the Xuanyuan Clan had to be buried together. The children who died prematurely and the miscarried fetus were buried at the edge. Sheng Xiao held Yu Huang’s hand as they went to the most remote part of the hill.
On that land, there were many small tombstones.
Under the moonlight, the two of them could see the words on every tombstone.
They searched the cemetery. Soon, Yu Huang stopped in her tracks and shouted in a low voice, “Brother Xiao, I found it.”
Sheng Xiao glanced at Yu Huang and walked over quickly.
The two of them stood side by side as they looked down at the small black tombstone in front of them and saw a few lines of white words carved on it—
Xuanyuan Tao and Liuli Tengfei’s son, Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao’s tomb.
It was said that Liuli Tengfei’s child was more than six months old when she miscarried. She was a girl.
They named her Xuanyuan Xiaoxiao.
Yu Huang felt a sense of sorrow. She tilted her head and asked Sheng Xiao, “Are you really going to dig it up?”
“Yes, dig.” Sheng Xiao took out a hoe. When he raised the hoe and was about to dig the grave, he said to Yu Huang, “Turn around. Don’t look. That way, only my lifespan will shorten.”
Yu Huang snatched Sheng Xiao’s hoe and dug down first.
Autumn had arrived. A few days ago, it had rained a few times in a row. The soil on the mountain was loose, and with a hoe, a deep pit was formed.
Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang and smiled again.
In that case, they would suffer retribution together.
He took out another hoe and dug the grave with Yu Huang.
Unborn fetuses were usually buried shallowly. The two of them only spent two minutes digging before they hit something hard.
Sheng Xiao put down the hoe and said, “We’ve got something.”
“Okay.”
Yu Huang put down the hoe and squatted down. Then, she and Sheng Xiao took out the thing hidden under the mud.
It was a small coffin made of golden cedar. Sheng Xiao held it with both hands. It was only as long as his forearm.
On the coffin, there were a few words written in red cinnabar—
Opening the coffin means death!
Those words were filled with killing intent. Just looking at them made one feel uncomfortable.
Yu Huang was about to open the coffin when Sheng Xiao took a step back and said, “Let me do it.” Whether the curse would come true or not, Sheng Xiao didn’t dare to risk Yu Huang.
Yu Huang nodded and stood at the side warily while watching Sheng Xiao’s actions.
Sheng Xiao didn’t hesitate. Spiritual energy surrounded his fingers. He wanted to use his spiritual power to pry open the coffin lid. However, when he tried to open the coffin lid, he realized that it was covered in an extremely powerful layer of spiritual power.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing that Sheng Xiao didn’t open the coffin lid, Yu Huang frowned and asked, “What’s the problem?”
Sheng Xiao said, “There’s a seal on it. The person who set the seal is stronger than me.”
Sheng Xiao was already a Grand Master Beast Tamer. How many people in Jingdu could set up a spiritual power seal stronger than his? Why would those powerhouses bother to seal Liuli Tengfei and Xuanyuan Tao’s dead child’s coffin?
