Chapter 626: Smoke Rises from the Grave
Soon, Alexander was left alone in the room, feeling incredibly lonely. Poor groom, he had just gotten married and now had to sleep alone in an empty room.
Oh well, he decided to practice cultivation by himself. Alexander thought about practicing martial arts in the room and casually swung a few moves, but gave up the idea due to the lack of space. Meditation then, but he couldn't calm his mind. How about reading a book? Alexander picked up the book by his bedside and read a few pages, but soon lost interest. Frustrated, he put the book aside and sent a message to Ivy on his phone.
Ashford: Honey, are you asleep?
Foster: No, I can't sleep.
Ashford: Me neither.
Ashford: Are the kids asleep?
Foster: No, they're listening to Maria telling stories.
Ashford: (Sighs) When will this day ever end?
Foster: (Exasperated expression) Who asked you to have a second child?
Foster: Are you even thinking about having a third child?
Ashford: I want to, but I dare not. What if we have another 18?
Foster: Alexander, I thought about it carefully just now, and resurrecting someone who has been dead for 20 years is too difficult.
Foster: The reason I was able to resurrect Miss Quiet was because she wasn't cremated when she died. She drowned in a cesspit, and the Oldie family didn't dare to tell her family about it, so they secretly buried Miss Quiet.
Foster: In addition, Miss Quiet's soul was never lost. For five whole years, her soul stayed by her own grave. Without a soul, even if I resurrect Miss Quiet, she would be a lifeless vegetable.
Upon seeing this message, Alexander's heart sank.
Ashford: (Sad expression) It's been 20 years. Even if the body wasn't cremated back then, the soul must have moved on and been reincarnated a long time ago...
In the room with the twelve siblings...
Upon seeing Alexander's expression of sadness, Ivy couldn't help but imagine his own sad appearance. Unable to bear it, she sent a comforting message.
Foster: Don't be discouraged. Maybe their souls are hiding somewhere like Miss Quiet.
Ashford: Where could they be hiding?
Foster: Tree stumps. Let's go to the cemetery tomorrow and see if there are any old tree stumps around the graves. If there are, then their souls might still be there, just like Miss Quiet's soul hidden in an old tree stump.
Ashford: Alright, let's go to the cemetery together tomorrow. Rest early tonight, goodnight.
Foster: Goodnight.
...
The next morning, Alexander and Ivy both woke up early.
ander made noodles, and Ivy made wife cakes. The two of them were happily busy.
After finishing breakfast, everyone was still fast asleep.
The two of them didn't want to disturb anyone, so they quietly slipped away.
The Ashford family ancestral tomb was not far from the Lewis family old house, so Alexander directly instructed the pilot to fly there.
The helicopter landed on a hillside.
Alexander rewarded the pilot with two wife cakes and said, "My wife made these. Why don't you have a taste?"
The pilot took a bite and tears twinkled in his eyes. "Delicious! This is the first time I've eaten such a tasty cake!"
Alexander was extremely satisfied and held Ivy's hand as they boarded the plane.
The two of them wandered through a cemetery.
"The feng shui of this place is amazing!" Ivy exclaimed sincerely. "After a hundred years, I want to be buried here too."
"That's a must. You were born into the Ashford family, and even in death, you are the Ashford family's ghost..."
As Alexander said this, he suddenly felt that something was amiss. He chuckled and said, "You are a great contributor to the Ashford family. The ancestors of the Ashford family will surely bless you with eternal life!"
"Eternal life..."
Ivy thought about the Magic Pearl she had, and suddenly felt that death was far away from her.
"Yes, this is the Ashford family's ancestral tomb!" Alexander pointed to a row of tombstones and patiently and sadly introduced, "This is the great-great-grandfather, this is the great-grandfather, this is my grandfather, this is my parents, this is my second uncle and second aunt, this is my cousin..."
Ivy greeted each of them.
In a hushed voice, she said, "Alexander, are we really going to dig up the graves? Will the ancestors be displeased?"
"They probably won't be. I'll talk to them first. Wait here for me, alright?"
After saying this, Alexander knelt by the tombstone of his great-great-grandfather and explained his plan to dig up the graves and resurrect the members of the Ashford family.
As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of green smoke suddenly emerged from the tombstone of his great-great-grandfather...
