1.8 In A Dead Body

At the mention of that guy's name, the rising tension in the room vanished.

Suddenly remembering the protagonist who had named his child after him left an awful taste in Wei Xin's mouth. It was such a reverse from the blissful aftertaste of his ambrosia that Wei Xin frowned, a low hiss escaped his mouth.

"You think? Are you trying to change the subject?" Wei Xin bared his sharp teeth.

"No, no, it's related. Because even if you did, I wouldn't allow you to return to him. After all, your body is very familiar with me."

As if to prove something Chu Xingnan trailed his fingers up Wei Xin's neck.

His lips curled up into a wicked smile, one promising evil had been done.

Wei Xin was a little startled, he gave Chu Xingnan a weird look. "... Are you trying to imply something?"

What does he mean by such ambiguous actions? Does he think that Wei Xin didn't know the process of driving?

"Not implying, I'm making a statement."

Wei Xin: "!?"

System 009: !!! What?? My host has been eatened!!!?

Wei Xin was shocked even the little orb hiding inside Wei Xin's soul was shocked.

For a moment, those green orbs were almost overtaken by red.

Taking deep breaths, Wei Xin felt a little calmer. But inside, this 1000+ years old wizard cursed repeatedly.

Bastard! Bastard! Evil Doer! Scum man!

"You, you, you're crazy, I wasn't even a mature zombie and yet you—" Wei Xin felt like going crazy. Such internal commotion even shook the little orb inside out.

[H-host! C-c-c-calm down—]

"I am calm!" Wei Xin shouted internally.

[O-okay!] Influenced, the little orb answered back with a yelp. Jiu has tried ah… though it's strange..

Realizing what conclusion Wei Xin came to, Chu Xingnan chuckled. "It's not what you're thinking. You're still safe. But it's more damaging than poking your chrysanthemum."

Wei Xin, "There's something even worse??"

Wei Xin: How many more bombs are you going to throw at me?!

Grinning proudly, the villainous bastard Chu Xingnan didn't care about the mental damage he inflicted. "I took your first princess carry. You don't know how cute you were as a little zombie cub. You always followed me around, always trying to hug me and give me little kisses. Ah, I kind of miss your baby days. Luckily I made albums for this very moment."

He even made a motion thinking whether he should go bring those albums over to brag.

Wei Xin. "....." What kind of heavy filters are you on??

Biting and wanting to eat was considered kissing? Chasing after the prey was lovingly called following? The rapid pounces he made were hugs?

——Excuse me?

Am I not a dangerous zombie in your eyes ah?

Am I a joke to you???

Wei Xin was silent, looking deep in thought.

"Baby what are you thinking about?"

Wei Xin, very seriously and somberly responded: "Whether I should kill you, eat you, and then destroy the blackmail. Or to kill you and then eat you while destroying the blackmail. Or just kill you and burn your body and the blackmail."

Then he looked up to Chu Xingnan with an eerie smile. "Hey, which do you think I should do?"

Those green eyes with streaks of red showing could make people's hair rise. Most people would turn away from this thriller movie killer. Unfortunately, Wei Xin was dealing with an abnormal child.

As if they weren't talking about his impending death, the villain in a serious manner spoke. "None of them are good, after all I taste so good. If I'm dead you won't get another chance to taste a fine delectable specimen."

Then they stared at each other, Wei Xin with narrowed eyes and Chu Xingnan with a brilliant smile.

If this was an anime... it'd be that one scene with flashing thunder in the background, a dragon and tiger about to have a face off.

The little orb wanted to chime in too, but how to say... it didn't feel like it would be heard.

[ ... ] Host! Jiu can provide flesh regeneration pills! The kind where the one using it doesn't necessarily have to be alive!

Feeling a hint of malice aimed at him, Chu Xingnan's smile turned its brightness up a notch. "Speaking of delectable specimens, there's one more delicious than your Daddy."

Raising a brow, Wei Xin stared at Chu Xingnan satisfying his need for attention.

Appeased, Chu Xingnan slowly uttered three characters.

"Wang Lintong."
