A Coffin Comes Calling

On the day his ancestral grave was robbed, a tiny coffin suddenly appeared outside Jia Tan's home. He suspected it was someone's prank and threw the little coffin in the garbage dump. The next day, it reappeared at his door. Jia Tan refused to believe in ghosts. He put the coffin on the roof to try to bake whatever was inside to death. On the third day, Jia Tan opened the door and found nothing outside. He breathed a sigh of relief. But from that day onward, one strange thing happened after another. Someone had bitten half the frozen fish in the fridge, and black hair appeared in the bathroom drain... Until one day, Jia Tan spotted that familiar coffin under his bed. - On the night the coffin appeared, someone tried to scam Jia Tan in a dream, saying they'd teach him how to cultivate and become an immortal. Jia Tan firmly refused. The scammer wouldn't give up and kept entering his dreams. After encountering ghosts and evil spirits, Jia Tan agreed to become his apprentice in the dream. His dream master gave him a little black cat to look after, saying it would bring wealth and good fortune and was a naturally auspicious creature. Jia Tan: Just a kitten. A mere kitten, awwww Jia Tan grabbed the black cat and smothered it with affection. The cat fought back bravely, but could only meow. Its owner took advantage of the fact that he couldn't understand it and did whatever he wanted. Until one day, the cat turned into a person. - Jia Tan, who had once been obsessed with squeezing its little balls: “...” Master, you didn't tell me you were a little black cat who couldn't talk.
