How Dare You Scare Me!

Meanwhile, behind the curtain, Wen Cai saw that Qiu Sheng had already come out and tiptoed toward Lin Yu as well.

"I have to say, he really does look the part."

Lin Yu already knew that the "reanimated" corpse in front of him was Qiu Sheng in disguise, so he wasn't afraid.

He even took a moment to seriously appreciate Qiu Sheng's performance.

"Haah~" Seeing that Lin Yu wasn't frightened, Qiu Sheng hurriedly imitated a zombie and hissed at him.

Without any hurry, Lin Yu took an improved version of his "Lightning Talisman" from his robes, the "36V Thunder Talisman" for short.

He had improved it using his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, one day when he had been bored and drawing Lightning Talismans.

As he drew, he got bored and wanted to try a new way of drawing one. He casually added a few strokes, and a whole new world suddenly opened up before him.

All he had to do was activate it with spiritual Qi, and he could adjust the strength of the lightning according to how much spiritual power he put in. It was guaranteed to make a person tingle all the way to heaven.

Playing a zombie, are you? I'll show you.

When Qiu Sheng saw Lin Yu take out a talisman, he remembered that Lin Yu had used one to summon lightning and destroy a monster that day. If it were used on him, he was afraid there wouldn't even be any ashes left.

He hurriedly tried to explain.

"Joonior brovver, ish me, Qiu Sheng!"

But the false teeth in his mouth made his words unclear, making it sound as though a zombie was hissing.

"Take this talisman, monster." A wicked grin appeared at the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.

"Bzz~ bzzzt~"

Qiu Sheng's whole body trembled as the electricity coursed through him, and even the fake zombie teeth in his mouth were knocked out.

"Junior Brother, it's me, it's me! Stop shocking me, or I'll lose my life!" Qiu Sheng could finally speak and hurriedly begged for mercy. He was done playing!

"Ha! You monster, you've gained intelligence! You can even talk, and you're impersonating my senior brother! Could it be that you've been lurking in the morgue, waiting to harm people? Today, this young master will carry out justice on heaven's behalf!"

Lin Yu didn't care whether Qiu Sheng wanted to play or not. Since he wanted to be so cheeky, Lin Yu would beat the cheek right off him today.

"Ha! Take this young master's kick, monster!"

With that, Lin Yu leaped forward and kicked Qiu Sheng in the chest. What followed was a bout of inhumane torment.

"Ow! Ouch..."

"Junior Brother, it really is me, your senior brother!"

Only when Qiu Sheng's makeup was smeared and his clothes were torn in several places did Lin Yu finally stop.

"Oh! Senior Brother, how come it's you? Why are you dressed as a zombie?" Lin Yu struggled to hold back his laughter and put on a look of surprise as he stepped forward to support Qiu Sheng, whose legs had gone weak.

Behind Lin Yu, Wen Cai had been preparing to launch a sneak attack. Seeing Qiu Sheng's miserable state, he jumped in fright and tiptoed backward.

But he accidentally bumped into a wooden table, making quite a racket.

"Oh, there's another one. Take this talisman!"

Lin Yu turned and saw that Wen Cai was dressed as a zombie too. He made a show of taking out a talisman to throw at him.

"Help! No!" Wen Cai was so frightened that he forgot about the table behind him. He flipped it over and ran out the door.

"Wait for me~" Seeing this, Qiu Sheng ran after him.

"Tch, they really can't take a scare. They ran away just like that." With the fun over, Lin Yu clapped his hands in boredom.

Looks like my transmigration caused a butterfly effect. In the original story, Qiu Sheng scared Wen Cai, but now the two of them came to scare me instead.

Looks like Master's punishment at noon was biased, so the two of them have formed a united front and come to scare me together.

That was Lin Yu's guess.

Hmph! They dared come scare me without weighing themselves first. I'll beat the shit out of them.

"Oh no!" Just then, Lin Yu saw Martial Uncle Four Eyes' clients suddenly begin to sway, and the corpse-suppressing talismans on their foreheads were about to fall off.

He turned and saw that the ever-burning lamp had been smashed.

Wen Cai had overturned the table just now, knocking over the oil lamp that controlled the corpses along with it.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu had noticed too late.

One after another, the corpses began to break free of the talismans' control and opened their eyes.

Lin Yu was the only living person on the scene, so he was the first to be targeted.

But there were too many wolves and too little meat. Some of the walking corpses hopped toward the outside, sensing that there was more meat out there.

Most of the walking corpses scrambled to pounce on Lin Yu. Four Eyes had refined them using a Maoshan secret art, and as soon as they got a mouthful of blood, they would immediately turn into zombies.

"Come on! You're just in time for me to try out my new move."

Facing so many walking corpses, Lin Yu wasn't afraid in the slightest. Instead, he was eager to have a go.

"Poke, poke, poke!"

Lin Yu formed the Demon-Subduing Seal with his hand, then brought it to his mouth and bit hard enough to break the skin on his middle finger. As a little spiritual blood seeped out, he swiftly darted through the crowd of corpses.

Lin Yu was now also in the Daoist Realm, and after a week of consolidating his cultivation, he had broken through to the Middle Stage of the Daoist Realm. He had also kept up his practice of the Seven Star Steps every night.

Nourished by spiritual Qi, his physical condition had surpassed that of some adults in suboptimal health.

With his speed, there was no way this group of walking corpses could even touch the hem of his clothes.

While Lin Yu was absorbed in what he was doing, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng returned.

They had wanted to come back and see whether Lin Yu was angry with them. After all, he was a child, and with his inhuman talent, if they had angered him and he targeted them at every turn in the future, it would be impossible to guard against.

After talking it over, the two decided to come back and admit their mistake.

At first, Wen Cai couldn't bring himself to do it, but Qiu Sheng flicked him on the head and gave him a talking-to. What was wrong with a grown man admitting his mistake to an eight-year-old?

That was called knowing when to bend and when to stand tall.

"Q-Qiu... Qiu Sheng, l-look, what's that?"

But as soon as they reached the door, they saw a walking corpse hopping toward the exit.

Wen Cai was so frightened that he began to stammer.

"A zombie!" Qiu Sheng took a closer look and instantly let out an ear-splitting scream.

"Ah, there's a zombie! Master, help!" Wen Cai ran after Qiu Sheng, shouting for their master to save them as he went.

"What's going on?" Hearing the commotion, Uncle Nine got dressed and came out of his room.

"Ow, Master, it's me!"

It was late at night, and when Uncle Nine saw a zombie in front of him, he went up and restrained him.

"Why are you two dressed like this?" Uncle Nine looked at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai in confusion.

They had no time to explain. Pointing at the walking corpses following them, they said in a panic, "Master, zombies! There are zombies!" ×2

"Oh, you two." Uncle Nine saw that they were Four Eyes' clients. Why had they suddenly come running out? Looking at the way the two were dressed, it went without saying that they had been up to mischief again.

With no time to reprimand them, Uncle Nine wanted to deal with the walking corpses before Four Eyes came out.

He moved too quickly to control his strength, and Four Eyes' clients weren't zombies yet.

Uncle Nine instinctively used the force he would against zombies. The result went without saying: one lost an arm, another a leg.

Four Eyes had just come out and happened to see this. It was too dark for him to notice that they were his clients, and he teased, "Oh~ Senior Brother, you're in quite the mood, exercising so late at night."

"Ah-who's the goddamn bastard who beat my clients up like this?"

When he walked closer and saw his clients lying on the ground with their arms and legs twisted, he felt like killing someone.

"I'm the goddamn bastard you're talking about. What about it?" Uncle Nine glared at Four Eyes. What are you going to do about it?

"Never mind. My clients got loose, so I'd better go take a look. I'm afraid they might all have run off by now." Four Eyes wiped his forehead and hurriedly changed the subject, then ran toward the morgue.

"Hurry up and follow! Look at the mess you've made."

Uncle Nine looked at the two behind him, who had barely made their presence known, and gave them a kick.

On the way, the group ran into a few scattered walking corpses.

Uncle Nine and Four Eyes dealt with them in passing.

When the four reached the morgue, they saw Lin Yu jumping up and pointing at one little walking corpse after another, darting ceaselessly through the crowd of corpses.

If he hadn't been too short, having to jump every time he wanted to immobilize a walking corpse, he wouldn't have let a single one escape. He really couldn't reach them.

"Hurry up and help!" Uncle Nine grew anxious when he saw his prized disciple in danger among the corpses.

What if he got hurt? Even scattering the ashes of these walking corpses would do little to quell the anger in his heart.

At that thought, Uncle Nine glared furiously at the two by the door.

"Ah, Senior Brother, go easy! I'll do it, I'll do it."

With Uncle Nine's arrival, this crisis that barely counted as one came to an end amid the group's farce.

"My clients! It's over! It's all over!" Four Eyes touched the dangling arm of a walking corpse and wailed, wanting to cry but unable to shed a tear.

His precious money had all flown away!
