Chapter 105 The Beauty and the Corpse

I didn't originally trust Lin Zhao. But Lao Liu and Wang Tufu said so, so I believed it.

At that time, I didn't know that the hanba's (female zombie) attraction to handsome men wasn't what I thought at all.

The hanba referred to in the art of divination isn't the mythic hanba who is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, or the ancestor of zombies. If the ancestor of zombies appeared here, we wouldn't even be able to escape with our lives, let alone fight them.

The hanba referred to in the art of divination is a female zombie with fire energy, possessing both yin and yang traits. Their strength is higher than ordinary ghosts and gods, but not to the point of being impossible to kill.

Another characteristic of zombies is that they suck human blood. Hanba zombies prefer to suck the fresh blood of young boys. That's the reason why they say, "Hanba love handsome men."

When I heard them talking about handsome men, I turned to look at Ye Yang: "I think this matter should be handled by Leng Gou. He's the best-looking guy in the entire Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall). Little Milk Dog would be fine if she were a man. The key is that she's a woman. After going down there, the hanba will inspect the goods, and then what?!"

When Ye Yang narrowed his eyes to look at me, I opened my mouth wide: "Leng Gou, don't look at me like that. You're eliminating harm for the people, you know? You're acting on behalf of heaven, you know? You're very respected."

"I remember I used to read a wuxia novel, where a great hero sacrificed himself for the sake of the world and submitted to a female demon."

"That great hero suddenly jumped up when things got intense and killed the female demon while butt naked."

"That guy was welcomed by heroes from all over the world when he came back! No one mentioned the matter of him running on walls butt naked and fighting desperately."

"Leng Gou, don't worry. As long as you go down there, we all swear a poisonous oath that no one will tell anyone else. We guarantee that you'll maintain your reputation in the world."

The veins on Ye Yang's forehead were throbbing when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

I was stunned at the time: "Leng Gou, what's wrong with you?"

Lao Liu reached out and put his finger on Ye Yang's pulse: "Hall Master Ye forcibly reversed the yin and yang energy just now and suffered a backlash from the feng shui. He's seriously injured! I'm afraid he won't be able to fight for a short time."

I breathed a sigh of relief. Just being unable to fight for a short time meant that the problem wasn't serious. It's common for Jianghu people to suffer internal injuries. It's not a big deal as long as the foundation isn't damaged.

Before I could finish exhaling, I saw Wang Tufu and the others all looking at me.

I immediately shuddered: "Why are you looking at me? No, absolutely not, I still want my face! Besides... besides, isn't there still Lao Liu?"

Wang Tufu looked at Lao Liu with disgust: "Can he do it?"

"Why can't he!" I said immediately, "You have to see who's looking. A twenty-year-old girl certainly won't see any beauty in an eighty-year-old man."

"If a seventy-year-old woman looks at Lao Liu, she'll see her dear old brother. Besides, that hanba must be at least five hundred years old. Looking at Lao Liu, she'll see her dear nephew! Maybe..."

"Maybe my ass!" Wang Tufu kicked me in the leg: "Come on, you stare at Lao Liu for me. If you can see a flower on his face, I'll wash your feet for a month."

"Don't... don't... let me stare at an old man? Is that something a person would do?" I almost shook my neck off: "If I had even one peanut, I wouldn't be drinking this much!"

That bastard Lao Liu even covered his face: "Master, your subordinate is terrified."

"Bah!" I went over and dragged Lao Liu out: "This strategist is useless, I'm going to bury him now."

"Come back!" Wang Tufu grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back: "You tell me, how many men are there in the Liangjie Tang now? If you don't go, who will?"

What did I bring back a bunch of beauties for? Next time, I'll get a man no matter what!

I was about to cry: "Senior Sister, I... I really can't do this!"

"You have to do it even if you can't!" Wang Tufu cursed, "You calculate it yourself, how much longer can you live? If there's no mission within half a year, you and Ye Yang will have to die on the spot without anyone else killing you."

"When the time comes, I'll bury you two in the same grave and write 'Tomb of the Two Dogs of Liangjie Tang'! I'll also leave you an epitaph: 'Li Po dragged down his brother to die with regret in Jiuquan (the Yellow Springs) for the sake of so-called purity.'"

"I..." I looked at Wang Tufu in disbelief: "Is there really no other way?"

"No!" Wang Tufu said, "If the hanba's coffin isn't broken, you might not be in any danger. It's a gamble on luck."

Ye Yang said, "We can swear that you'll maintain your reputation in the world."

"I... is swearing enough to make it as if nothing happened? An old woman over five hundred years old!" I was about to cry: "If something really happens, how can I have the face to see anyone? My reputation!"

Wang Tufu dragged me forward without saying a word: "What purity are men talking about? If we don't say anything, who will know you've been taken advantage of."

"I ask you, do you want your brothers, or do you want your face?"

I finally broke down: "I'll go, I'll go now. If something happens, I'll hang myself."

"That's the right attitude!" Wang Tufu took out the equipment with a smile: "Listen to me, nothing will definitely happen."
