Mr. Zhuge, Why Are You So Swollen?

"Don't worry!" Hao Shuai nodded solemnly. Watching Bai Rourou's graceful figure as she went inside, he thought, Affected? Good! I'm staying by your side just so I can be affected by you. I only wish I could do more right now!

When Hao Shuai and Bai Rourou rushed into the Ghost Sealing Vault, they saw a bulky figure flying toward them through the air. It landed right in front of them.

"Senior Brother!"

Bai Rourou could hardly believe that the bruised and battered fat man before her was the same senior brother she remembered as a master of magic arts who dealt with ghosts and demons as easily as anything.

Even Bai Rourou could hardly believe it. If she hadn't called him by name, Hao Shuai wouldn't have recognized Fat Cat either. His face was swollen like a pig's head, and he looked a whole size fatter than usual.

What kind of inhuman beating had he taken to get even more swollen and fat than he already was?!

As Hao Shuai remembered it, when Bai Rourou appeared in the original story, Zhuge Kongping had been in bad shape, but not like this!

What Hao Shuai didn't know was that he was the reason things had changed.

Because of his appearance, and because he had to look after Hao Shuai, who was an "ordinary person," Bai Rourou arrived later than she should have.

That delay meant Zhuge Kongping had been beaten by the Bronze Armor Zombie for longer.

Only someone as broad and sturdy as Zhuge Kongping could take a beating like that and still be standing. Anyone else would have been torn apart by the Bronze Armor Zombie by now.

"Junior Sister, what are you doing here?" Zhuge Kongping heard the familiar voice and raised his head from the ground.
