Seeing his aunt's face growing increasingly grim, Pu Sang quickly interrupted, " Lin Yu! What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Nuo is..."
What is it?
Lin Yu countered with a question, certain that Pu Sang wouldn't dare utter the words "Ghost King Illusory Realm," otherwise he would surely be pursued by the ghosts already trapped inside.
Pu Sang couldn't answer, so he could only glare at him and shut up.
[Cao Lin Yu, is snitching fun?]
Hehehe... Just how much hatred does Lin Yu harbor?
[Don't mess with Lin Yu, it's his own fault for being a loner and thinking he's so great.]
The aunt's expression went from unpleasant to as black as charcoal, and she muttered under her breath, "How dare they leave!" She then called over another person.
Before long, several burly men also left the doorway.
"Come with me and help out."
The auntie smiled again in an instant and led everyone into the house.
Lin Yu appeared to be obediently following along, but he kept releasing tiny amounts of power to test her.
On the other side...
Jiang Nuo and the other person went to the mortuary first.
He wanted to see if the little zombies in the mortuary were still there in the Ghost King Illusory Realm.
If they were here, these lowly henchmen could also help kill the ghosts.
The two of them pushed open the coffin lids and looked inside.
"Oops."
Jiang Nuo hung her head in dejection, "I didn't bring them in."
" Nuonuo, are there... zombies in here?"
Si Yan was about to say the word "zombie," but he wasn't sure if that thing actually counted.
He turned around, letting Jiang Nuo see for herself.
Then Jiang Nuo looked up and saw... a zombie that was already half-skeletal, but red hair was growing on the remaining skin.
"Red-haired zombie... damaged version."
Jiang Nuo pressed her eyes thoughtfully, then suddenly bit her middle finger, joining her two fingers together to draw a strange curse mark on the zombie's forehead.
"Rise!"
He raised his hand, a dark glint flashing in his left eye.
The zombie was suspended in the air, with only half an eyeball moving around, and its hairless skeleton had black hair.
Si Yan pursed her lips, her tone slightly downcast, " Nuonuo, you'd rather have a half-finished zombie fight for you than let me help you kill the Ghost King?"
On the way here, Jiang Nuo solemnly declared that he could only follow along and could not make a move, otherwise... he would ignore him.
Si Yan couldn't bear such humiliation.
Jiang Nuo continued fiddling with the zombie, answering casually without thinking.
"Nonsense, he's not going to die from being injured."
After blurting out his words, Jiang Nuo paused subtly, coughed lightly, and snapped his fingers between the zombie's brows, causing the curse mark to flash again.
[Ahhhhh!! Look at Si Yan's eyes turning red in a second, how moved is Si Jiaojiao!]
[This scoundrel is stuffed, thanks to the person who cooked, he's so happy he's dizzy...]
[Oh wow! My focus is on how amazing Jiang Nuo is, directly controlling zombies!]
"Done!" Jiang Nuo gave a thumbs up. "You stay hidden for now, and come out only if necessary."
The zombie bowed at a 90-degree angle and scurried away to a corner.
Jiang Nuo sniffed her slightly smelly fingers, wondering when she had become so fussy and concerned about such things, when her hands were enveloped by a hand holding a wet wipe.
He looked up and saw Si Yan's hands carefully wiping his face, and her slightly reddened phoenix eyes.
A subtle feeling resurfaced.
It didn't happen this frequently before we had a fight.
"Why are you crying again?" Jiang Nuo softened her voice unconsciously. After wiping her fingers clean, she squeezed Si Yan's hand, which Si Yan then grasped in return.
Jiang Nuo didn't shake him off, but looked up at him, waiting for his answer.
" Nuonuo clearly likes me a lot, it can't be because of Love Soul."
Si Yan gripped his hand tightly, her voice low and aggrieved, "You won't admit it, and you still want to break up with me. I'm at a huge loss."
Jiang Nuo: "..."
What did you lose? You didn't even return my Love Soul.
I also have to protect you, my mission target, every day.
Although... it was voluntary, right?
Oh, you're still sleeping with me... What a load of rubbish.
She grabbed his hand and bit it playfully, "Don't cry, I haven't cried."
After saying that, she walked out, her tone slightly threatening, "Hurry up and follow me, and don't you dare hurt yourself again for no reason, or we're really breaking up."
Si Yan stared blankly at the finger with the bite mark, then slowly raised it and pressed a kiss to it.
Then he quickly followed, his eyes full of joy, no longer looking listless.
He really is still Nuonuo's precious darling! He won't change just because of Love Soul.
[What's the difference between this and a direct kiss?! I'm so into it! (Lying down)]
The difference is that this one is purer and more romantic!! So cute are the two babies...
"Don't go out! There are ghosts outside!"
The two men were surrounded by several burly men as they left the mortuary.
Jiang Nuo glanced at them. "What brings you gentlemen here?"
"Today, preparations for the bride's wedding begin, and everyone needs to go and help."
The leader said matter-of-factly, his eyes lifeless, "Everyone has to go, including you."
Jiang Nuo: "What if I don't go?"
Swish!
Several burly men immediately stepped closer, their hands poised to choke her. "We have to go! The bride's wedding is a matter of life and death for our village."
Jiang Nuo's attention wasn't on them, but rather on what was behind her.
It's been a long time since I've seen He Jiu.
He hid in the bushes and frantically waved his hands in the opposite direction at the two of them, indicating that he agreed.
Jiang Nuo and Si Yan exchanged a glance. Although they understood the meaning of the action, they didn't grasp its significance.
When I looked over again, He Jiu had already quietly left, bending over, as if afraid of being discovered.
Jiang Nuo withdrew her gaze. "If I may ask, who is the bride's groom...?"
Unexpectedly, this question seemed to touch a taboo, and the faces of the burly men instantly turned pale with fear. They shrank their necks repeatedly, and it took them several moments to recover.
"You'll find out then, what are you two babbling about! Hurry up..."
Rolling around.
The ghost head fell to the ground.
Jiang Nuo slung the large knife he had pulled from his backpack over his shoulder, smiling as he looked at the burly men who still had heads. "Don't be so fierce, you'll easily lose their heads."
The remaining burly ghost. "..."
[... Me too.]
[I didn't even have time to react... What a huge knife... Did you steal this from some ancient execution ground?]
Just how big is Jiang Nuo's backpack?! How could it fit this thing?!
Even so, the remaining burly ghosts showed no intention of letting them go.
Jiang Nuo raised the broadsword again with both hands, and with each strike, a head was severed.
Only after all the burly ghosts had been killed did he put the knife back.
"Let's go check out other parts of the village," Jiang Nuo suggested, Si Yan naturally agreed and followed.
One minute later.
The two men who should have left the mortuary and the several burly men whose heads should have been chopped off stared at each other in the same spot.
Jiang Nuo: "..."
Okay, we won't let you kill the boss until you complete the main storyline quests.
Where did this Ghost King come from! He's just like that broken system!
Although Si Yan didn't know what Jiang Nuo was thinking, she could understand the current situation.
"Looks like we still have to go back to the village chief's house."
Otherwise, we'll be stuck here indefinitely.
Jiang Nuo wrinkled her nose angrily.
