Qin Dynasty: They've all turned into zombies, what's there to fear about a rebellion?

The morning air at Xianyang Palace was filled with the usual somber atmosphere, but today there was an inexplicable... foul smell.

As Su Ming walked towards the alchemy room, he felt as if his spine was about to be pierced.

A palace maid who was sweeping the floor saw him and immediately blushed, burying her head in her chest, but she couldn't help but peek through her fingers; several eunuchs on duty huddled together and whispered, their eyes scanning his lower body frantically, their faces bearing that lewd smile that said "those who know, know".

"Have you heard? Last night, the Imperial Advisor... [did he...]"

"Shh! Keep your voice down! I heard they were up all night, and the sounds they were making...tsk tsk."

"No wonder he's the man who could turn His Majesty into a god! That physique, those skills—he's the number one hunk in Qin!"

Su Ming stumbled, almost tripping over his own feet and falling flat on his face.

The number one super man!

I was doing scientific research last night! I was analyzing data all night long for the future of the Qin Dynasty!

Can't you ancient people with brains full of nonsense have some scientific literacy?

With a dark expression, Su Ming stormed back to the alchemy room in the side hall, amidst a sea of ​​stares.

"Clang!"

Once the door was closed, it shut out the gossip and rumors from the outside world.

Su Ming let out a long sigh of relief, turned around, and met the pair of pale purple eyes on the table that seemed to want to devour him alive.

Shao Siming remained in the same position she had been bound in the previous night, but her exquisitely beautiful face was now filled with weariness and... an even more intense killing intent. If eyes could materialize, Su Ming would already be torn to pieces, beyond repair.

Don't look at me like that.

Su Ming touched his nose somewhat guiltily, walked over and picked up the vial of [Corpse God Stabilizer] that had been neglected all night. "You've heard the rumors outside too? We're in this together now. If my reputation is ruined, your innocence will be ruined too."

Shao Siming bit her lip hard, her eyes reddening.

"So, we need to get down to business and prove that we really were doing scientific research last night."

Su Ming waved the green vial in his hand, his face full of righteous indignation. "Come on, open your mouth. This is an evolutionary elixir I stayed up all night to tailor-make just for you. Once you drink it, your inner energy will perfectly merge with the corpse energy in this world. At that time, not only in our Great Qin, but throughout the entire world, you'll be able to walk sideways!"

Shao Siming kept her lips tightly shut, turned her head to one side, and looked like she was saying, "Do whatever you want with me, but don't even think about making me drink urine."

From her perspective, the liquid that bubbled with green leaves and emitted a strange, grassy smell was only different from poison in that its color was more disgusting.

"Hey, you're going to refuse a polite toast only to suffer the consequences, huh?"

Su Ming didn't waste any more words. Time was tight and the task was heavy. His Majesty was still waiting to "eat people up," so he didn't have time to coax the child here.

He stepped forward, and with one hand, he gripped Shao Siming's delicate chin like an iron clamp, applying a slight force.

"Hmm!"

Shao Siming winced in pain, her cherry lips slightly parted.

With lightning speed, Su Ming used his other hand to force the vial of [Corpse God Stabilizer] down her throat. His actions were so brutal and unbecoming that he resembled a tyrant forcing a woman into prostitution.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shao Siming coughed violently from the choking, and the pale green medicine dripped down her lips and onto her fair neck. The sight... was indeed a bit suggestive.

"Don't throw up! If you do, you'll have to drink another tube!"

Su Ming covered her mouth tightly until he felt her swallow, then released her and wiped his hand on his clothes. "That's right. Good medicine tastes bitter. Science always requires a little sacrifice."

Shao Siming closed her eyes in despair.

It’s over.

It's dirty.

I'll never be clean again.

However, the expected severe abdominal pain or death from poisoning did not occur.

The moment the green liquid slid into her stomach, it transformed into an extremely cool stream of air that instantly rushed to her limbs and bones!

It was like drinking a mouthful of ice spring water in a scorching desert.

Her meridians, which had been stiff and numb from being bound all night, began to chirp joyfully under the influence of this energy flow. The somewhat stagnant wood-elemental true energy within her body, as if encountering the perfect catalyst, erupted with a deafening roar!

"Well……"

Shao Siming suddenly opened her eyes, and the purple light in her pupils instantly intensified.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable heat surged up from the depths of my bones.

It wasn't the pain of poisoning, but a violent rejection reaction brought about by a leap in life level. Her skin began to flush abnormally, her body temperature rose sharply, and her originally fair skin now resembled a boiled shrimp, radiating astonishing heat.

"Huff... huff..."

Shao Siming's breathing became rapid and heavy, each breath releasing a visible plume of white heat. Her once-cold body began to writhe unconsciously on the table, like a fish yearning for water.

"Huh? Such a strong reaction?"

Su Ming immediately switched to "scientist mode".

He completely ignored the incredibly beautiful scene before him, holding a small notebook in his hand, observing and quickly taking notes while muttering to himself:

"Heart rate soared to 180... Body surface temperature estimated to be over 40 degrees... Pupils dilated and then constricted, it seems the drug is reorganizing the nervous system."

Su Ming reached out and pressed his hand against Shao Siming's burning forehead, frowning as he felt it:

"It's not a fever, so why is your face so red?"

At this moment, Shao Siming felt as if she had been thrown into Laozi's alchemy furnace.

The internal energy and the external green energy were fighting and merging fiercely. Every muscle was being torn apart and reassembled. The feeling of pain and itching, as if her soul was about to leave her body, made her let out a suppressed groan.

"uh-huh……"

The voice was melodious and alluring, a truly captivating sound, a devastating auditory bomb in the enclosed alchemy room.

Su Ming was so frightened that he dropped the pen in his hand.

He looked at Shao Siming, whose face was flushed, eyes were glazed, and who was humming incoherently, and he felt completely numb.

"Big sister! Can't you control yourself for a second?"

Su Ming clutched his hair in despair, "I'm a legitimate imperial advisor! I'm conducting a legitimate experiment! Your reaction... if that big-mouthed Meng Yi hears this, I'll be in deep trouble no matter what!"

"Why are you blushing like a teapot?"

"This is a rejection reaction! It's evolution! Can't you act a little more pain? Even a couple of screams would be fine! You're making it sound like I'm giving you some kind of indescribable service!"

Shao Siming couldn't hear what he was saying at all.

At that moment, she felt as if a volcano was erupting inside her, and the enormous energy was rampaging through her body, searching for an outlet.

The "net of heaven and earth" binding her began to crack under the impact of this terrifying energy.

The tough silkworm silk, soaked in corpse oil, is breaking one by one!

"I'm looking at this data... something seems off?"

As Su Ming watched the increasingly intense purple and green light emanating from Shao Siming, he finally sensed a dangerous aura.

On the system panel, various values ​​related to Shao Siming were fluctuating wildly, and red warning boxes popped up one after another.

[WARNING! Experimental subject has energy overload!]

[WARNING! Wood-type True Qi is undergoing a violent chemical reaction with the T-virus, resulting in uncontrollable mutation!]

[WARNING! Restraint device is about to malfunction!]

"Holy crap?"

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously took a step back.

Just then.

"collapse--!!!"

A sharp, tearing sound, like tearing silk.

The large net that had trapped Shao Siming for an entire night was completely shattered into countless fragments.

A terrifying shockwave erupted from the table, shattering all the surrounding bottles and jars.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a purple figure slowly sat up.

Shao Siming's once smooth, long purple hair now danced wildly without any wind. She slowly raised her head, and her once cold and beautiful face was now covered with eerie purple-green patterns.

Those eyes had completely lost their reason, leaving only the most primal rage and... a deep obsession with the man before them.

She stared intently at Su Ming, a wicked and arrogant smile curling at the corner of her lips. She let out a low growl and sprang into the air like a cheetah!

"Su...Ming..."

"I want...you..."

As Su Ming looked at the "female demon" rushing towards him, he realized for the first time what it meant to "play with fire and get burned."

"Oh my god! Help!"

"I need a mage! Not a berserker!!"
