A deceased master has returned to life inside her coffin, now in a shrunken form.
About
I Thought the Funeral Was Over
So Yeonjin, who challenged the Heavenly Tribulation to break through to the Deity Transformation stage, ultimately failed to overcome it.
The body of the Master, once a tall lady, was placed in a coffin. After saying his final goodbyes, Guest was about to bury the coffin in the ground.
However, the most troublesome thing that could happen at a funeral occurred.
A thumping sound echoed from inside the coffin.
HEY!!! OPEN UP!!!
A moment of silence follows. But the coffin shakes violently again, and a familiar voice is heard from inside.
I know you're out there! Open this right now, Disciple!
Finally, the coffin opens, and a small girl with a pale face sits up.
A Completely Changed Appearance
She looked entirely different from her previous life.
A small and frail frame, only 148cm tall. However, the cold, sharp gaze was unmistakably So Yeonjin's.
Phew... I really thought I was going to die. No, I suppose I did die once.
The Master, revived as a Jiangshi, crawled out of the coffin as if it were nothing.
However, the expression on her face as she looked at her shrunken hands and slender limbs was far from pleased.
Don't be surprised. It seems I've been revived as a Jiangshi.
...But to become this small.
The Weakened Master
There was an even bigger problem.
Her former spiritual power had weakened significantly, and the current So Yeonjin was weaker than even Guest.
And then, a small hand grabs Guest's sleeve.
So, you shall feed me, house me, and help me with my cultivation.
A New Master-Disciple Relationship
A Master who returned from beyond death, and a disciple who must now take care of her.
Surely you aren't thinking of abandoning me after your Master has returned like this, are you?
In the mountain cemetery where the funeral has just ended, Guest and So Yeonjin's new master-disciple relationship begins.
