Shared Heavens from Douluo Continent

With Dai Changsheng's monstrous strength, he could have easily kicked Old Master Ren's upper body apart. However, he deliberately held back most of his power, using only about as much strength as an ordinary person.

The result was that Old Master Ren's body merely trembled slightly, while Dai Changsheng was sent staggering back two steps by the powerful recoil.

"Whoosh!"

Having been attacked, Old Master Ren instinctively swung his arms and thrust them toward Dai Changsheng.

"Watch out!"

Seeing Old Master Ren's sharp nails about to pierce Dai Changsheng's neck, Ren Tingting could not help crying out.

As though he had heard Ren Tingting's warning, Dai Changsheng immediately rolled across the ground, dodging the fatal strike. He then followed up with a sweeping kick at Old Master Ren's ankle.

"Bang!!!"

Thrown off balance, Old Master Ren crashed stiffly to the floor like a wooden puppet, producing a dull thud.

Seeing this, Dai Changsheng quickly sprang to his feet, raised the peachwood sword in his hand, and stabbed toward Old Master Ren's chest.

This guy is way too weak. I'm already holding back, yet it can't even withstand three moves. Looks like I really have to rely on myself!

"Crack!"

At a thought from Dai Changsheng, invisible telekinetic force swept out, driving Old Master Ren's hard arms to swing forcefully and snap the peachwood sword in his hand.

"Damn it!"

Dai Changsheng's expression changed drastically as he looked at the forcibly broken peachwood sword. He swiftly retreated several meters.

Having escaped disaster, Old Master Ren sprang stiffly up from the floor, raised his hard and sharp arms, and thrust them at Dai Changsheng.

With his peachwood sword broken, Dai Changsheng could only engage Old Master Ren in close combat.

From Dai Changsheng's perspective, Old Master Ren's attacks were straightforward and riddled with openings, making them easy to evade. But to Ren Tingting and the others, the fight looked perilous at every turn.

"Man Choi, hurry and think of something! Help Changsheng!"

Seeing that Dai Changsheng might die at Old Master Ren's hands at any moment, Ren Tingting anxiously stamped her feet.

"Don't panic. I'm thinking, I'm thinking."

Man Choi, equally worried about Dai Changsheng's safety, frowned and thought for a while before hurriedly calling out, "Senior Brother, hold your breath! Master said that if you hold your breath, zombies won't be able to tell where you are."

"No! Its target is Tingting. If I hold my breath, it'll charge straight at her."

Dai Changsheng righteously replied while dodging Old Master Ren's attacks.

Hearing this, Ren Tingting was so moved that she nearly cried.

Ren Fa had only recently died, and with no one to rely on, Ren Tingting was at her most emotionally vulnerable.

Dai Changsheng's bravery and sense of responsibility gave her an overwhelming feeling of security, instantly making him her new emotional anchor.

Her favorability toward him had soared to the limit. Unable to bear seeing Dai Changsheng die for her, Ren Tingting cried, "Changsheng, don't worry about me! Protect yourself first!"

"No!"

Dai Changsheng rejected her without hesitation. "We cultivators are sworn enemies of all evil! If it wants to hurt you in front of me, it will have to step over my corpse first!"

"Well said! Don't panic, Changsheng. Your master is here!"

As soon as Dai Changsheng finished speaking, a voice called out in approval from outside. Uncle Nine and Qiu Sheng rushed in through the door right afterward.

"Great, Master is here. We're saved."

When Man Choi saw Uncle Nine, he immediately smiled with relief, as though he had seen his savior.

Uncle Nine and Qiu Sheng pulled up a black ink line and held it horizontally about a meter above the ground. They called out to Dai Changsheng, "Changsheng, lure it over here!"

"Mm!"

Dai Changsheng nodded slightly, dodging Old Master Ren's attacks as he retreated toward Uncle Nine and the others.

"Now! Changsheng, duck!"

At Uncle Nine's command, Dai Changsheng rolled across the ground again. The pitch-black ink line swept over his head and snapped against Old Master Ren's body.

"Bang!!!"

Struck by the ink line, Old Master Ren seemed to have touched a high-voltage wire by accident. Sparks burst from its chest, and it was instantly flung three or four meters away.

Perhaps zombies also possessed an instinct to seek benefit and avoid harm, or perhaps Ren Tingting's blood was simply too alluring to it.

After being flung away by the ink line, Old Master Ren did not continue attacking Dai Changsheng. Instead, it turned and hopped toward Ren Tingting, who was hiding on the second floor.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

With Dai Changsheng standing in front of them earlier, Ren Tingting and Man Choi had not felt much pressure. But now, seeing the green-faced, fanged Old Master Ren hopping closer toward them, both their legs were about to give out from fear.

Man Choi, who had just claimed he would protect Ren Tingting, instinctively hid behind her.

"..."

Seeing Man Choi's disgraceful display, Uncle Nine's face darkened.

Compared to Dai Changsheng's refusal to yield even in the face of death, Man Choi's cowardice was utterly humiliating!

Just when Ren Tingting felt she was about to die, Dai Changsheng suddenly dashed beneath the second-floor corridor and shouted at her, "Tingting, jump down! I'll catch you!"

Dai Changsheng's voice was like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly rekindling Ren Tingting's hope of survival.

Looking at Old Master Ren drawing ever closer, Ren Tingting could not spare another thought. She climbed over the second-floor railing, closed her eyes, and jumped.

Just as Ren Tingting braced herself to hit the ground, a pair of large hands firmly caught her legs and slender waist, bringing her safely into Dai Changsheng's broad chest.

"S... Senior Brother, what should I do?"

Before Ren Tingting could even catch her breath, Man Choi's panicked cry came from upstairs.

"Just hold your breath. Its target isn't you!"

As soon as Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he carried Ren Tingting over to join Uncle Nine and the others.

Hearing Dai Changsheng's words, Man Choi hurriedly covered his nose and mouth.

Just as Dai Changsheng had said, Old Master Ren had no intention of lingering on the second floor after it could no longer smell the breath of the living.

Old Master Ren smashed through the second-floor railing, leapt back into the first-floor hall, and hopped toward Ren Tingting.

"Bang!!!"

Facing Old Master Ren's approach, the prepared Uncle Nine and Qiu Sheng pulled up another ink line and sent it flying away again.

Thanks to reader Two Legs Kick Out, Life Kicks the Bucket for the 500 Qidian Coins reward, and thanks as well to the other readers for their support.

Mutual Love ### Because the hall was cluttered with too many miscellaneous items, making it unsuitable for dealing with the zombie, Uncle Nine and Qiu Sheng deliberately sent it flying into the courtyard outside.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Just as Uncle Nine and the others were preparing to chase outside and deal with the zombie, a barrage of gunfire suddenly rang out beyond the door, making Old Master Ren's entire body shudder.

Perhaps Old Master Ren had been frightened by the gunfire, or perhaps dawn was approaching. It did not continue attacking Ren Tingting, instead hopping away from the Ren Residence.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The security squad members raised their rifles again and fired another volley at Old Master Ren.

In the end, they caused Old Master Ren little harm, but frightened off Uncle Nine and the others, who had intended to pursue it.

After all, Uncle Nine and the others were still flesh and blood. They could not ignore bullets the way a zombie could.

"Chase it! Chase it! Chase it..."

Ah Wei, who had been hiding behind the security squad members, only raised his Mauser C96 pistol and leapt out from the corner after seeing Old Master Ren had run far away. Striking a heroic pose, he chased in the direction Old Master Ren had fled.

However, when Ah Wei reached the gates of the Ren Residence, he discovered that no one had followed him and hurriedly retreated in fright.

"Useless idiots! Why aren't any of you chasing it?"

To hide his embarrassment, Ah Wei could only vent his anger on his subordinates. He then raised his Type 38 Arisaka rifle and swaggered over to Ren Tingting, boasting, "Cousin, if it hadn't run so fast just now, I would've killed it with one shot!"

"Cousin, are you all right?"

Naturally, Ren Tingting did not believe Ah Wei's boast. Still, when she saw his ragged clothes and the burn on his chest in the shape of the character "traitor," she could not help looking concerned.

Ah Wei might be unreliable, but he was still Ren Tingting's cousin. Naturally, she did not want anything to happen to him.

Meeting Ren Tingting's concerned gaze, Ah Wei endured the pain and patted his chest. "Cousin, don't worry. I'm fine."

"Captain Ah Wei, don't force yourself!"

Dai Changsheng wore a slightly teasing expression. "If those injuries were caused by a zombie, you should hurry home and apply some glutinous rice to them. It'd be bad if you turned into a zombie."

"Changsheng is right. If any of you were injured by a zombie, make sure to apply glutinous rice to the wounds as soon as possible."

Uncle Nine sternly reminded them, "Glutinous rice can not only dispel corpse poison, but scattering it around the house can also ward off zombies. Until Old Master Ren has been eliminated, you'd best stock up on more glutinous rice for protection."

"Glutinous rice can cure zombie wounds?"

Having witnessed the zombie's power firsthand, Ah Wei and the others did not dare slack off in the slightest. They hurried off to buy glutinous rice as though they feared there would be none left if they arrived too late.

Watching Ah Wei and the others act so terrified of death, Uncle Nine shook his head helplessly. He then turned to Ren Tingting and said, "Tingting, to be safe, don't stay at home for the time being. Move into our funeral home."

"Mm."

Ren Tingting subconsciously glanced at Dai Changsheng before obediently nodding.

Man Choi and Qiu Sheng could not help cheering inwardly as well.

Now they could finally get close to the moon from the terrace first!

Unfortunately, Man Choi and the others did not know that after Dai Changsheng's performance just now, Ren Tingting's favorability toward him had already maxed out. There was simply no room in her eyes for anyone else.

By the time Ren Tingting had her personal maid pack a change of clothes and her usual necessities, dawn had broken outside.

"Master, it's already daylight. I have to go help my aunt look after the shop."

"All right, all right. Go on, then!"

Uncle Nine did not intend to make things difficult for Qiu Sheng. He waved him off, then led Dai Changsheng and the others back to the funeral home.

"Changsheng, go help Tingting clean up a room for her."

After returning to the funeral home, Uncle Nine gave his orders in an orderly manner. "Man Choi, don't just stand around. Go prepare breakfast!"

"Yes, Master!"

At Uncle Nine's command, Dai Changsheng and Man Choi got busy.

As the saying went, men and women working together never got tired!

With Dai Changsheng's help, the bedroom where Ren Tingting would be staying was soon mostly cleaned up.

Since Ren Tingting was a young lady from a wealthy family, she rarely did chores herself. While cleaning the room, she appeared somewhat clumsy, and it was inevitable that she and Dai Changsheng would come into physical contact.

(ω)

Ren Tingting had already secretly given Dai Changsheng her heart. When he pretended to accidentally grab her jade-like hand, not only did she not struggle, she even shyly closed her eyes.

Seeing Ren Tingting looking as though she was ready to let him have his way, Dai Changsheng wrapped an arm around her Slender Waist and lowered his head to taste the lipstick on her lips.

"Senior Brother, Tingting, breakfast is ready. Come out quickly..."

"Crack!"

When Man Choi, who had finished preparing breakfast, came to call them out with a bright smile, he saw them locked lip to lip. He froze on the spot, his heart shattering into pieces.

Wasn't she supposed to be my goddess? How did she become my sister-in-law?

Ren Tingting was immersed in Dai Changsheng's masterful kissing skills and did not notice Man Choi's arrival at all.

"Ahem, ahem!"

It was not until Uncle Nine, having grown impatient from waiting, came looking for them himself and gave an awkward cough that the two were finally startled awake.

"Un... Uncle Nine."

Having come back to her senses, Ren Tingting wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground. Blushing, she buried her Pretty Face in Dai Changsheng's chest.

"Hehe, Master."

Faced with Uncle Nine's rather strange look, Dai Changsheng also gave an awkward smile.
