Chapter 33: Uncle Nine in Shock

Uncle Nine placed one hand on the doorknob, holding a peachwood sword in the other. He pushed the door open with force and stepped inside. 

Behind the door was a room filled with objects he had never seen before. A man was sitting on the couch inside. When he saw Uncle Nine enter, he stood up. 

"Come, come, Uncle Nine, have a seat! I didn't think you'd actually come in!" Ren Fa acted like he was welcoming a guest into his home, motioning for Uncle Nine to sit on the couch. 

Uncle Nine, usually calm and confident, now had no idea what to do. The space itself was already shocking enough—how could there be such a large room behind a coffin? 

This wasn't some illusion or trick. Before entering the coffin, he had already opened his spiritual sight, and everything here was real. 

Not only that, but the spiritual energy in this place was dozens of times stronger than outside, even greater than some famous sacred cultivation sites. 

"May I ask who you are? And why are you in the Ren family ancestor's coffin?" Uncle Nine asked, trying to figure out what was going on. 

"I am Ren Fa's father, but also not his father. It's hard to explain. Come, come, Uncle Nine, don't be polite. Sit down first. I'll show you something, and then I'll explain." As he spoke, he pulled Uncle Nine onto the couch. 

Uncle Nine sat down and felt the soft cushion beneath him. So comfortable! 

"Uncle Nine, would you like something to drink? I have tea, juice, alcohol... Oh, and coffee! If you want egg tarts, I have those too!" 

Uncle Nine: "…" 

It felt like he was being mocked, but he had no proof. The mention of coffee even reminded him of yesterday's conversation with Master Ren. 

"No need, I'm not thirsty," Uncle Nine said, staying on high alert. He definitely wasn't going to eat or drink anything from this place. 

"It's no trouble. Tea is good for your health!" 

"Senior, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Uncle Nine asked. 

Ren Fa set down two cups of tea on the table, pushing one toward Uncle Nine. Then, he turned on the TV. 

"This! Take a look, it's really interesting!" 

Uncle Nine jumped in surprise as the screen suddenly lit up. Moving images appeared on it. 

Movies existed during the Republic era, so Uncle Nine quickly realized this was something similar. 

"Uncle Nine, if you have any questions, we'll talk after you watch!" 

And on the screen—playing on the television—was *Mr. Vampire*! The group leader, overcome with mischief, had made Ren Fa play this movie. 

Yang Tao chuckled as he watched the situation unfold. 

"What do you think Uncle Nine will feel after watching Mr. Vampire? And how will he react when he finds out Ren Fa is a zombie?" 

Right now, Uncle Nine had no idea that Ren Fa was a zombie. First, Ren Fa's cultivation level was far beyond Uncle Nine's. Second, after becoming a zombie, Ren Fa never consumed human blood for power. Instead, he absorbed yin energy and converted it into spiritual energy to nourish his body. Because of that, he didn't give off any zombie aura at all. If not for the lack of a heartbeat and breath, he would be no different from a normal person. 

Naruto: "Big bro, you have some strange hobbies. Wasn't it also for fun when you let Kakashi know about my true strength?" 

Yang Tao blushed after being called out. 

"Naruto, you have to understand, I did it for your own good!" 

Then he mumbled, "I was just bored… How can you call that having fun at someone else's expense?" 

Group members: "..." 

 Meanwhile, Uncle Nine had already finished watching the movie. He sat there in a daze, completely frozen, lost in thought.
