Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

Qiu Sheng glanced at Amei with a hint of reluctance, then greeted Lin Yi and Michelin before turning and leaving.

Lin Yi leaned back in the armchair, listlessly using her Hades powers to glance at Qiu Sheng's departing figure.

Then he saw Qiu Sheng's merits and demerits.

No, it's not about merits and demerits, but a bloody list of sins, densely wrapped around Qiu Sheng, the resentment so thick it's almost tangible.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

Qiu Sheng, twenty years old.

The destiny of "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity" – this destiny is inherently auspicious, impervious to all evils, but it is followed by two glaring words: "damage".

The reason for the damage is written below: due to intercourse with the female ghost Dong Xiaoyu, his vital energy was eroded by the yin energy, and the foundation of his destiny was damaged.

Further down, each crime is more shocking than the last:

Driven by lust for the beautiful female ghost Xiaoli, he became obsessed with suppressing the ghost messengers with a talisman, causing a thousand ghosts to roam the night.

One hundred and twenty-eight people were possessed by ghosts, their bodies were shrouded in yin energy, their vital energy was greatly depleted, and their lifespans were greatly shortened.

Five people were forced to die in place of others, one was possessed by a starving ghost and gorged to death, a fisherman was frightened by a ghost and fell into the water and died, an old woman was scared to death... and a young girl encountered a green-headed ghost...

Looking at the long list of debts, Lin Yi's gaze towards Qiu Sheng changed.

He had seen the movie Zombie Supreme, but at the time he was only focused on disliking Shi Shaojian and Shi Jian, and at most he felt disappointed in Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, those two clowns.

But a movie is still a movie; once the film is off, you can't smell any blood.

Now, seeing the list of casualties, he truly realizes just how devastating the accident was.

This isn't a lighthearted comedic scene from a movie; this is real human life at stake.

One hundred and twenty-eight people were haunted by yin energy; five were forced to use substitutes; one died from overeating; one drowned; an old woman; and a little girl—

Eight people died, and there were also those who were insulted, injured, or whose lives were shortened due to being afflicted by evil spirits. They were not as lucky as Ah Mei, who had Uncle Nine to help expel the evil spirits.

These people all have names, families, and children, yet they suffered this undeserved misfortune because of those two scoundrels, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

No wonder Shi Jian stormed into Uncle Nine's dojo, yet their patriarch didn't react at all.

If he were the founder, he wouldn't care either.

Qiu Sheng, this godson, is such a disappointment.

Anyway, whether it's Shi Jian or Uncle Jiu, they are all his disciples and grand-disciples. Who wins and who loses is an internal matter of Maoshan. It's only fair if the patriarch doesn't intervene.

Lin Yi even suspected that if Shi Jian hadn't gone mad and shattered the ancestral statue, the entire room of people might have been wiped out.

However, with disciples like Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, Uncle Jiu must have suffered a great loss of good karma.

Uncle Nine probably won't be able to hold onto his position as a senior bank manager for much longer.

Otherwise, the ghost messenger wouldn't have disrespected him, taken the opportunity to extort money, and even quoted a large sum of 40 million taels of silver.

And Shi Jian, he must have been implicated by Shi Shaojian as well.

Of all evils, lust is the worst, and Shi Shaojian's use of evil magic to seduce women only amplifies his crime.

In the end, Shi Jian not only turned his son into a corpse demon, but also found four people born in the yin year, yin month, and yin hour to suck his blood in order to keep the corpse demon alive. He even had to have these special people with special fates extend his life every year thereafter.

He's not a zombie outside the Three Realms and Six Paths. What's the difference between a Maoshan Taoist priest doing this and committing suicide?

Shi Shaojian is Shi Jian's calamity, and Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai are Uncle Jiu's calamity.

The good deeds these two people accumulated over most of their lives have probably been squandered by their respective scoundrels.

In the original series, the battle was ostensibly a contest between two fellow disciples, but in reality, it was two unlucky souls being dragged down by a scoundrel undergoing tribulation. However, Uncle Nine had better luck and managed to pull through.

Having figured this out, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow for Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu.

His lifelong reputation was ruined by someone close to him. For a Taoist priest to end up like this is truly unfortunate.

Fortunately, none of his subordinates were incompetent; even Qian Youcai was a reliable person.

Although he was greedy, he was extremely trustworthy and reliable, even at the cost of his life.

If this kind of person follows a bad person, he will definitely become extremely bad.

But if he were to follow a good Hades like him, he would definitely be a competent day-roaming god!

"Looks like I'll have to play the villain who breaks up the couple again."

Seeing A-Lian staring blankly in the direction Qiu-Sheng had left, Lin Yi made a decision!

This pair of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chicks is a huge pitfall. If Qiu Sheng and A Lian get together, they will definitely cause more trouble.

Although he wasn't afraid, he was terrified that they would implicate Michelle and the children.

For the sake of the child, he never dared to bite Michelle, fearing something might happen; after all, she was just an ordinary mortal.

Lin Yi leaned back in her chair and casually asked, "Ah Mei, I noticed you've been staring at Qiu Sheng. Do you have a crush on him?"

Amei's face flushed red, burning from her cheeks all the way to her ears. She hurriedly lowered her head, her voice barely audible, "Master, I...I don't know."

Michelin sat beside them, completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, and even joked with a smile:

"I think Qiusheng is a good kid. He's handsome and you two are a good match."

Amei felt a surge of joy upon hearing this, and looked down at her shoes without saying a word.

During her trip to the countryside, she was possessed by a female ghost named Xiaoli. Although she was confused, some vague fragments of her consciousness remained deep within her.

When Qiu Sheng kissed her, his lips were burning hot, and his gaze was tender and infatuated. At that moment, a seed was quietly planted deep in her heart.

"No." Lin Yi's voice wasn't loud, but her tone brooked no argument. "You two can't be together!"

He glared at Michelle – you don't even know the situation, yet you're acting like a matchmaker.

Michelle was a little confused by the glare, but wisely kept quiet.

Amei's originally rosy face turned deathly pale.

She looked up at Lin Yi, tears welling in her eyes, and her lips moved several times before she managed to squeeze out a sound:

"Master, why?"

"Amei, you should know that I am not an ordinary person."

Lin Yi leaned back in her armchair and said in a serious tone, "To tell you the truth, you only have three months left to live."

You will die in three months. Being with him is bad for both of you.

Amei swayed as if her bones had been removed, and only managed to regain her balance after taking a half-step back and bumping into a pillar.

Three months—she only has three months left.

She's not even twenty years old yet, she hasn't seen the world's splendor, how could she die so soon?!

At this moment, all love and affection were cast aside, leaving only the fear of losing life.

As for whether Lin Yi's words were true or not, she never doubted them.

Although she didn't know that Lin Yi was the King of the Underworld, she had worked in the Marshal's Mansion for so long and had personally witnessed how respectful Qian Youcai and Maoshan Jian were to Lin Yi.

This is not something that can be achieved simply by virtue of being a warlord.

Lin Yi is no ordinary person; he wouldn't use such a lie that could be exposed so easily to deceive her.

"I understand, sir. It's just my bad luck. I won't be a burden to Qiusheng," Amei said, choking back tears.

She thought Lin Yi was preventing them from being together because she was afraid that she would be a burden to Qiu Sheng, since Qiu Sheng was the second wife's apprentice nephew, while she was just a servant who was about to die.

"I only beg you, Master and Second Madam, not to send me away. My family has suffered a disaster, and I am all alone. If I leave the Marshal's Mansion, I will have nowhere to go."

After saying that, she couldn't hold back any longer and covered her face, crying silently.

Michelle felt a pang of reluctance, but Qiu Sheng was her junior apprentice, and she couldn't possibly let a girl with only three months to live marry him.

She glanced at Lin Yi, and seeing him nod, she got up and walked to Amei's side, gently patting her back:

"Amei, don't cry. We won't send you away. You can stay with me as long as you want."

Lin Yi couldn't stand the sight of women crying and sobbing, so she waved her hand and said, "Sister Lian, take Amei downstairs."

After the two left the main hall, Lin Yi sat on a chair for a while, going over her thoughts about Shi Jian and Uncle Jiu again.

He summoned Uncle Shou and instructed him to take the Underworld King's Decree to the City God Temple in the Renjia Town area to retrieve copies of the merits and demerits of Shi Jian, Shi Shaojian, Uncle Jiu, and Qiu Shengwencai.

With the Underworld King's Decree in hand, the local city god dared not refuse. Shou Bo, his back hunched, left the main hall, transforming into a wisp of green smoke and heading towards Renjia Town.

He then asked Ma Dayong to call Long Ci over.

Lin Yi didn't waste any words and directly instructed Long Ci to take Xiao Yu, A Cheng, and the brothers of the guard company to Hong Kong Island to make preparations, buy land and property in Kowloon City, and arrange a place to stay.

"Have the men change into ordinary clothes, and don't bring rifles, just pistols."

Lin Yi took out a heavy leather suitcase from her Qiankun Ring, opened it and showed it to Long Ci. "There are 500,000 pounds in here, that should be enough."

For someone who can teleport, money is the one thing he has no shortage of; banks in various countries are like his backyard.

Long Ci didn't ask any more questions, took the box, and left in a hurry.

Although there were military checkpoints on Hong Kong Island during this period, there were no strict restrictions on the movement of ordinary people from the mainland, and it was not a problem for more than a hundred people to cross in batches.

He needed to figure out where he was staying, the surrounding environment, and the distribution of power throughout Hong Kong Island before Hades and the others arrived.

Finding a house is actually the easiest thing; all you need is money.
