Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

The next day, at noon (1-3 PM).

The autumn rain in Jiangzhou City shows no signs of stopping, and the sky is so gloomy that it looks as if a black pot has been covered over it.

Lin Ye was awakened by a loud banging on the door.

"Bang bang bang! Yoko! Open the door, Yoko! Are you still alive?!"

Lin Ye suddenly opened his eyes, feeling a sharp pain in his back, as if someone had been pounding his spine with a sledgehammer all night.

He instinctively reached to the side, only to find that both his left and right sides were empty.

"A cold moon? Frosty stars?"

He sat up, rubbing his messy hair, and looked around.

A faint, cool fragrance of red spider lilies filled the bedroom on the second floor, but the two stunningly beautiful zombies had vanished without a trace.

"Bang bang bang!"

The banging on the door downstairs grew louder.

"Lin Ye! If you don't open the door, I'm calling the police! What was that female ghost you talked about on the phone last night who wanted to kill me?!"

It's Fatty Wang.

Lin Ye rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

The fat guy was his college roommate. He was fat but kind-hearted. He was a rich second-generation landlord who owned eight houses and often treated Lin Ye to meals.

Last night, I was so scared by Leng Yue's words that I hung up the phone, but today, in the middle of the day, she dared to come and bang on my door. This best friend is truly loyal.

"They're here! They're here to kill us!"

Lin Ye quickly put on his pants.

Just as he put on his shoes, he caught a glimpse of an old double-door refrigerator in the corner of his eye, from which a strange blue chill emanated from the crack in the door.

His heart skipped a beat, and he walked over and yanked open the refrigerator door.

Holy crap!

In the refrigerator's crisper compartment, all the vegetables and drinks had been emptied and thrown aside.

Frostnova, dressed in a black Lolita dress, was curled up in a small ball, sleeping comfortably on the partition.

Her silver-blue pigtails hung down in the food container, her little face pressed against a piece of frozen pork, she was sleeping soundly, and even snored softly with ice crystals in her mouth.

What's even more ridiculous is that Frostnova was tightly clutching a half-empty bottle of iced cola in her arms.

The small hands with bluish-black nails were slightly curled up from the cold, and the copper bells on their ankles occasionally collided in the small space of the refrigerator, making a dull and eerie "ding" sound.

Even in her sleep, the extremely cold, white aura emanating from her body froze the surrounding refrigerator walls, creating eerie ice flowers.

Lin Ye could feel that the refrigerator's compressor was running under overload, groaning in pain, as if protesting the big shot's forced move-in.

This is a strange juxtaposition of modern home appliances and ancient, malevolent artifacts.

For a moment, Lin Ye couldn't tell whether he was raising a zombie or an expensive "ice cream spirit".

"You fucking used the refrigerator as an ice coffin?!" Lin Ye was exasperated.

"Hmm...My lord..."

Froststar was awakened by the noise, and opened her heterochromatic eyes in confusion.

When she saw Lin Ye, she instinctively reached out her two cold little hands, wanting to be hugged.

"Stop! Be quiet! There are strangers outside. You stay inside and absorb the refrigerant, don't come out and scare them!"

Lin Ye shoved her hand back and stuffed a cucumber into her mouth to stop her from eating.

Then the refrigerator door slammed shut.

The baby's settled, but where's the baby?

Lin Ye turned his head and saw Leng Yue in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with heavy blackout curtains.

The thousand-year-old red beast was facing away from him, its posture upright like a pine tree.

She was still wearing that tattered black antique dress, with most of her snow-white back exposed to the air, the curve of her shoulder blades breathtakingly perfect.

At that moment, she was holding Lin Ye's smartphone, whose screen had a cracked corner.

With a slender finger, she awkwardly and forcefully poked at the screen, her deep red eyes filled with a solemn expression as if facing a formidable enemy.

"My wife, what... are you doing?"

Leng Yue didn't turn her head, her voice cold yet tinged with a rare hint of annoyance:

"My lord, this thing is truly bizarre. I just tried to investigate it with my divine sense, but I discovered that it contains countless tiny figures. They are trapped in a magic array called 'Pin Xi Xi,' and they keep asking me to 'cut a knife' for them."

Lin Ye's lips twitched violently. "Big sister, that's a pop-up ad from malware, okay?!"

"Bang bang bang! Lin Ye!!"

The fat man downstairs was already crying.

"Ahem, my wife, that's modern mechanical technology. I'll teach you when I have time."

Lin Ye quickly walked over and snatched the phone away.

"I have a brother downstairs right now. He's a stranger with strong yang energy. Even though you're a Red Hou and not afraid of ordinary fire and yang energy, you might easily scare him. Would you mind hiding in that closet for a while?"

Leng Yue turned her head, her red eyes narrowed slightly, and an aura of queenly authority instantly emanated from her.

"Avoid? I have traversed thousands of years, how could I fear a mere mortal? If he dares to offend you, sir, I will drain his life force."

"No, no, no! That's my brother! I have to pay extra... Ugh, no, he's a good guy!"

Lin Ye coaxed and tricked her, finally promising to "double the yang energy" tonight, before she finally gave a cold snort, turned into a gust of yin wind, and disappeared into the old wardrobe.

Lin Ye let out a long sigh of relief, rushed downstairs, and pulled open the roller shutter door with a "whoosh".

Outside the door stood a chubby man holding a peach wood sword.

"Yoko!"

When Fatty Wang saw Lin Ye standing there unharmed, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He then shoved him aside and squeezed into the shop, looking around furtively.

"Where are they? What happened to the female ghost from last night? Wait, why is your shop colder than a morgue?!"

The fat man gave an exaggerated shiver.

Indeed, after the resurrection of two female zombies last night, the concentration of yin energy in this funeral parlor is almost comparable to that of an extremely yin corpse-raising ground.

"What female ghost? You must have misheard. I was watching TV last night, 'The Legend of the White Snake,' and Fahai was subduing a demon in it." Lin Ye lied without batting an eye.

"Bullshit! Is Fahai's voice really that pleasant? It's so cold it could shatter ice crystals, but it's also strangely pleasant..."

The fat man muttered something, his gaze suddenly locking onto Lin Ye's neck.

He gasped, pointing at the conspicuous hickey on Lin Ye's neck, his face contorted with rage:

"Lin Ye! You still dare to say you're not hiding a woman?! These teeth marks are still there! You brat, you've been cheating on your brothers! Tell me, which family's little vixen is she?"

Lin Ye instinctively covered his neck, his face turning red.

Froststar's bite was really ruthless.

Just as Lin Ye was pondering how to smooth things over, a muffled thud suddenly came from the ceiling upstairs.

Leng Yue was turning over in the wardrobe when she accidentally bumped into the wardrobe door.

The sound was remarkably clear in the quiet funeral parlor.

The fat man's ears perked up instantly, and his eyes widened in terror:

"There's some noise upstairs! Ye Zi, are you really hiding a mistress on the second floor? I have to go check on my sister-in-law!"

As he spoke, the fat man suddenly displayed an agility that was disproportionate to his size, and he started running towards the second-floor stairs.

Lin Yehun was almost flying away.

If he were to go up there, open the wardrobe and see a super-sized red beast that's 1.8 meters tall, and then open the refrigerator and see a sickly little girl, this fat guy would definitely be done for today!
