Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Qiu Sheng gave up resisting.

He clearly realized that he had almost no power to resist this person.

Japan has this kind of monster?

A thought involuntarily popped into his mind—

I wonder who's better, this guy or Lin Yi.

"Very good. My name is Xu Fu, and you will be my subordinate from now on."

Xu Fu released his grip and put Qiu Sheng down, even thoughtfully straightening his askew monk's robe.

"As long as you work hard for me from now on, I will not treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, he took out a round bead emitting a soft green light from his pocket and handed it over. "This is the inner core of a wood spirit. It's not only beneficial for cultivation, but it can also increase lifespan. Take it; consider it a small gift from me."

Qiu Sheng accepted the inner elixir with both hands, bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle, and replied in fluent Japanese, "Hi! Thank you, Lord Xu Fu."

But a strange glint flashed quickly in the depths of his eyes.

Qiu Sheng is a native Chinese, and he knows very well what the name "Xu Fu" represents.

More than two thousand years ago, the alchemist Xu Fu was ordered by Qin Shi Huang to sail east in search of the elixir of immortality, but he never returned.

If the person in front of me is really Xu Fu, then wouldn't he be an old monster who has lived for more than two thousand years?

No wonder he's so strong.

Well, following such a big shot isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Moreover, he might even find an opportunity to sow discord between Xu Fu and Lin Yi.

He remembered it clearly: if it weren't for Lin Yi's interference, he wouldn't have had his cultivation destroyed by his master and been forced to leave his hometown and come to Japan.

He can't deal with Lin Yi, but Xu Fu, who has lived for over two thousand years, might not be unable to deal with a newly crowned King of the Underworld.

Just as Qiu Sheng's mind was racing, Xu Fu's voice rang out again: "I want you to go to China to find out information about a family of exorcists called the Ma family of the Exorcist Dragon Clan."

Find an opportunity to test their strength, but don't alert them. Once you've gathered sufficient information, come back and let me know.

Qiu Sheng was startled. Was he to return to China?

But on second thought, he really should go back and take a look.

His strength has greatly improved, and he is no longer the Qiu Sheng that Lin Fengjiao could easily defeat.

With his current strength, he is more than capable of dealing with Lin Fengjiao. It's time for him to go back and "catch up" with his master.

Thinking of this, Qiu Sheng replied respectfully again, "Yes. I will set off for China tomorrow."

Xu Fu waved his hand: "There's no need to rush. It's not too late to go after you've absorbed the inner core of the Wood Spirit."

The inner core of the Wood Spirit contains the spiritual energy of wood, which can conceal your ghostly aura. Otherwise, your yin energy would be detectable not only by members of the Ma family, but by any cultivator with a bit of skill.

"Hi!" Qiu Sheng bowed deeply again, and from his words and actions, it was impossible to tell that he was not Japanese.

When he devoured those female ghosts, he obtained far more than just the extremely yin ghost energy; he also obtained fragments of their memories from their previous lives.

He had a thorough understanding of Japanese language, Japanese customs, and even the tone and manner of Japanese speech.

This disguise even fooled Xu Fu.

When Qiu Sheng looked up again, Xu Fu had already left.

He comes and goes without a trace, just as he appears.

The meditation room was empty except for Qiu Sheng, who was still clutching the Wood Spirit Inner Core that emitted a faint green light.

Kodama, also known as the God of Wood, is a famous and extremely powerful yokai in Japanese folklore.

With Qiu Sheng's current cultivation level, he was far from being able to deal with a great demon of this level, but unexpectedly, Xu Fu easily gave him its inner core as if it were a candy.

It is evident that Xu Fu's strength and resources were far greater than he had shown.

Qiu Sheng decided to cling to this powerful figure and wait until he was stronger enough to turn the tables and completely devour Xu Fu.

The thought of one day being able to drink the heart blood of this legendary monster who has lived for thousands of years made Qiu Sheng's mouth water.

That taste must be a hundred or a thousand times more delicious than the blood of an ordinary person's heart.

Compared to Qiu Sheng's shining moments, Shi Shaojian's life seemed much more mundane.

He's now completely absorbed in his baby-making plan.

He also arrested several widows and locked them in that dilapidated farmhouse in the suburbs, where they stayed home every day and worked hard in the fields.

Four women are already pregnant, but he is still not at ease and continues to work tirelessly, planning to formally cultivate the Sunflower Manual after all the children are born.

During the waiting period, his skills were more than enough to handle the elderly, weak, women and children, and he lived a relatively peaceful life.

……

Hong Kong Island.

Three days have passed since my trip to the South District.

In those three days, Yang Feiyun's life underwent a dramatic change.

Three days ago, he and his wife went to Uncle Shou's villa in Kowloon Tong to report for duty.

When Shoubo met him, he didn't say much, but arranged a professional banking team for him to personally lead the establishment of Umbrella Bank.

To Yang Feiyun's surprise, Uncle Shou not only offered him a high annual salary of one million, but also gave him an advance on his first year's salary.

One million Hong Kong dollars.

In an era where the average person earns only twenty or thirty yuan, he could never spend it all in his lifetime.

When this number came crashing down, Yang Feiyun was completely stunned.

Previously, Yu Dahai only paid him a few hundred yuan a month, and he had to donate 80% of that to charity.

And now, one million Hong Kong dollars has gone straight into his pocket.

According to his destiny, he should soon be afflicted by this sudden windfall of wealth, thus losing the portion of wealth that does not belong to him.

He used the money to buy a villa, a car, and a whole bunch of luxury items that he never dared to dream of before in Kowloon Tong.

Three days have passed, and he is still living safely in the villa, with all his money still there, not a single penny missing.

His fate has truly been rewritten.

When he realized this, he couldn't help but cry tears of joy—his lifelong obsession had truly come true.

Meanwhile, a factory called Umbrella Ghost Money Factory quietly opened for business.

This is a long-established ghost money factory that the Umbrella Group acquired at a high price and put into production after renovation.

The Umbrella Corporation's ghost money factory produced ghost money with the Underworld Palace of Linming printed on the front and a pair of dark golden eyes on the back, with a face value the same as the Hong Kong dollar at that time.

The new ghost money is of excellent quality, beautifully printed, and inexpensive.

It was very popular as soon as it hit the market and quickly replaced the poorly made ghost money that was originally on the market.

It has become the mainstream product in the market for ghost money in Hong Kong Island and even the surrounding areas.

……

The Lin family villa.

Mi Nianying returned home after attending her graduation ceremony at school.

Today is also Mi Nianying's graduation day. She was a transfer student and doesn't need to study for three more years of secondary school. She just needs to graduate with the third-year students.

She has passed the entrance exam for Island University of Hong Kong and received an offer of admission.

Of course, the exam was just a formality for her.

Originally, given Nianying's true abilities, she wouldn't have been able to get into the University of Hong Kong, but what could she do when she had such a good brother-in-law?

After Lin Yi's training, her previously terrible English is now on par with native British students, and she speaks with an authentic London accent.

Furthermore, before the exam, a tutor fed her the questions in various ways. So she passed the exam with ease.

When she got home, she excitedly took Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, Lin Xiaohua and Yan Ruyu invited me to go to the outlying island. Will you come with me?"

"You've always doubted that Xiaohua looks a lot like you, haven't you? You'll believe it when you see her tomorrow."

Qingqing was somewhat tempted, but she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she turned her head and glanced at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was leaning back on the sofa reading a newspaper when she heard their conversation. She put down the newspaper and smiled.

"Go if you want to. Staying at home every day is boring."

"I was just thinking of going out for a walk, Nianying, how about adding a brother-in-law?"

"Of course you can. I would have let you go even if you hadn't asked, otherwise it would be too unsafe if it were all girls."

Nianying replied with a grin, then added, "I even told Xiaohua and the others beforehand."

"Then let's go together tomorrow."

Lin Yi nodded, but her mind was on the two names Nian Ying had mentioned.

Lin Xiaohua, Yan Ruyu...
