"Stop playing, hurry up and get your tooth pulled." Uncle Nine gently patted Lin Yu's head.
"Oh~"
Since we can't tease the commander anymore, let's end this sooner rather than later.
Lin Yu grabbed the zombie that was trying to escape and punched it hard in the face, instantly denting its cheek.
A mouthful of teeth and four sharp teeth fell to the ground.
"Dad~" The general was heartbroken to see his father beaten up like this in front of him.
What if my tooth falls out and becomes useless?
"Here you go." Lin Yu picked up the zombie tooth he had knocked out, handed it to the commander, and then returned to Uncle Nine's side.
"Hey, how do you eat this 'Douchi Nine' thing?" The commander looked at the long tooth in his hand, wanting to put it in his mouth but hesitating.
"You're so useless! Put your hand out." Lin Yu said speechlessly, seeing that you wouldn't even take the antidote even after he gave you it.
The general obediently extended his palm, where a zombie tooth lay.
"Smack!" Lin Yu slammed his hand down.
When Lin Yu raised his hand, everyone could see the fine powder in the commander's palm. It turned out that Lin Yu had smashed the tooth to pieces.
Wen Cai Qiu Sheng were so frightened that they both shrank back, their eyes wide open like saucers.
Qiu Sheng quietly tugged at Wen Cai's sleeve and whispered in his ear, "My goodness, Junior Brother's strength could probably crush bones!"
Wen Cai nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to steal glances at the commander's expression.
The general was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He quickly pulled his hand back and examined it carefully, turning it over and over.
He rubbed the powder between his fingertips, then pinched his own flesh, muttering, "Ouch! My hand isn't broken? How come these teeth are so fragile!"
As the commander spoke, he picked up another tooth and tested it himself. His hands were red from clapping, but the tooth wasn't damaged at all.
"Master, what should we do with this zombie?" Lin Yu ignored the mischievous General and instead asked the zombie lying nearby.
"It's useless now. Qiu Sheng, bring me my cane and let me destroy it." Uncle Nine glanced at the zombie. To prevent it from recovering and continuing to do evil, Uncle Nine decided to destroy it.
"Ah--! No, don't!" The general, who was still examining the teeth, immediately stepped in front of Uncle Nine upon hearing this. This was his father, even though he was dead, you can't kill him again in front of me!
Lin Yu noticed that the general seemed quite suspicious, perhaps because he was worried about not having enough teeth and wanted to keep them in reserve so he could have them removed later.
"Let me tell you, your dad could recover at any time. When that happens, he'll be invulnerable to bullets and blades, and the first thing he'll do is bite you!" Lin Yu warned him, "If you try to stop me, I'll take you down with me."
"What if these teeth aren't enough? Maybe I should get them fixed first, then deal with my dad." Sure enough, after Lin Yu's threats, the general finally revealed his true thoughts.
"By the time it grows back its teeth, you'll be dead," Uncle Nine said speechlessly. "If that much tooth powder isn't enough, then you're not far from death either."
"Get out of the way!" Uncle Nine drew his peach wood sword and sternly stared at Marshal Lung.
"No, I have to protect my dad." The commander was resolute, determined to die for his cause.
Uncle Nine doesn't care about all that. Anyway, he understands the General's personality. When the sword is thrust forward, he'll naturally dodge.
Sure enough, after Uncle Nine suddenly threw out the sword, the commander-in-chief was so frightened by the fierce peach wood sword that he quickly dodged to the side.
As the peach wood sword pierced the zombie's body, thick smoke billowed from its corpse. The zombie, which already had very little corpse energy, couldn't even last three seconds before lying on the ground, its corpse energy gone.
"Pack it up, let's go back and soak in zombie water to drink." Lin Yu found the commander hiding behind Zhuzi and told him to have someone clean up the ancestral hall.
"Someone come here!" Seeing that the matter was resolved, Marshal Lung called in the guards outside.
"Put my father in the coffin properly, do you hear me?" The general, who was about to leave, saw his father still lying on the ground and left two guards to clean up the body.
"General, it's so late, why don't you rest for the night and then we can treat the illness tomorrow?" Wen Cai glanced at the moon, which was already high in the sky, and yawned.
"That's right, the general will only be effective in treating his illness if he gets enough rest." Qiu Sheng didn't want to work through the night either. If they didn't get better, they would be exhausted by the time they got back.
"Alright, let's go back to the manor and sleep!" The general thought for a moment and felt that this reason made sense. He had been busy all night and was quite frightened. It would be good to go back and replenish his energy.
The next morning
After a good night's sleep, the refreshed and energetic General sat in the living room.
"Someone, take my dad's teeth and soak them in water!" He took out the zombie teeth he had obtained last night and ordered everyone to soak them in water.
After the guards brought over a pot of zombie tooth water, the commander poured himself a cup, smelled it to make sure there was no strange odor, and then drank it.
"Ha~ Good morning, General." Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng had just gotten up. It was rare for their master not to urge them to cultivate, so they finally had a good night's sleep.
Meanwhile, Uncle Nine was enjoying a delicious bowl of porridge cooked for him by his Sister Lian in his room, and had no time to care about them.
While eating, Uncle Nine reminisced about the wonderful times he had with Sister Lian, and only after finishing the whole bowl of rice porridge did Uncle Nine come back to his senses.
"Sigh~" Uncle Nine sighed. Life is a multiple-choice question with no right answer. No matter which one you choose, you will always have regrets.
Uncle Nine didn't dwell on it too much; he had chosen this path, and he would walk it to the end, even with his eyes closed.
Downstairs
"General, what kind of tea is this? Why are there so many particles?" Qiu Sheng poured himself a glass of water and started drinking, only to find a mouthful of powder.
"Let me try it, is it really that bad?" Wen Cai, skeptical, also took a sip.
After everyone had drunk their share, the commander revealed the answer with a smug grin, "Oh, it's nothing, just some water from my dad's zombie teeth."
"Pfft--!" Both of them were stunned upon hearing this, and immediately spat out all the water they had just drunk.
Wen Cai Qiu Sheng sprayed water all over the table, and kept coughing while covering their mouths, as if they had eaten shit, frantically wiping their mouths with their hands.
"Hahaha--!" The commander-in-chief burst into laughter upon seeing the two's reactions.
Uncle Nine, disturbed by the commotion downstairs, put down his bowl of porridge, leaned on the railing, and looked down. "What are you two up to?!"
"Master, help! We've swallowed the zombie's teeth!" Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng cried out for help upon hearing Uncle Nine's voice. They didn't know if eating the zombie's teeth would cause any problems for the healthy people.
Uncle Nine sighed and rubbed his forehead, then called downstairs, "Stop howling! That tooth powder is meant to neutralize corpse poison; it won't do any harm, it's just that it tastes a bit off!"
But Wen Cai Qiu Sheng wouldn't listen. Qiu Sheng was busy finding water to rinse his mouth, while Wen Cai squatted in the corner and dry heaved, looking as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Only the commander-in-chief was laughing so hard he could hardly breathe.
