Yingying was very anxious with Zhou Ze on her back. She did not hear what the monk and the tanned girl said because she had just avoided the monk"s prayer beads.

Under such circ.u.mstances, she could not be in the mood to quickly a.n.a.lyze the situation and guess the next step.

She only knew that her boss had been poisoned. His consciousness was now becoming vaguer and vaguer. Her boss"s condition was getting worse.

The key to this setback was the first time.

It had been more than a year since he had become a ghost errand boy. Zhou Ze had encountered many things, but he had never encountered anyone who had poisoned him. Even ghosts could not play with such high-level stuff. At most, he would only be able to create an illusion. As for facing other ghost errand boys or living people, it was common for people to launch sneak attacks. There were not many plots where people would use drugs like in wuxia novels.

Secondly, the poison used by the tanned girl was not ordinary. It was specifically targeted at the soul. It was different from ordinary poisons. Otherwise, experienced people and Lawyer An who had a long history of scheming might have discovered it in advance.

The timing of the girl"s poisoning was very good. When Zhou Ze and the others were celebrating after winning a fight, most of them had lost their absolute vigilance.

For these many reasons, three of the four people were directly knocked down.

“Boss, you hang in there. Yingying will take you out!” Yingying encouraged Zhou Ze, who was on her back. She did not know who to turn to because Lawyer An and the Old Priest ate more than the boss. They must have fallen right now.

However, there was no hope for them to continue staying here. They could only rely on charging out. Perhaps they could still find an opportunity.

Zhou Ze"s eyes were hazy. Perhaps it was because he did not eat much meat. Even though he was feeling very uncomfortable, he had not completely fainted. However, he felt that he was about to pa.s.s out. At this moment, Boss Zhou was still able to use his last bit of thought and energy to think.

This little black girl… not only could she grow the spider lilies for food, but she could also make ghost sleeping pills?

“Little zombie, stop messing around and come home with me,” the swarthy girl shouted.

Yingying carried Zhou Ze on her back and didn"t pay attention to the monk and the swarthy girl in the distance. Instead, she ran toward the end of the road!

As she ran, Yingying found that the monk and the swarthy girl appeared in front of her. She was running in the opposite direction, but she ran into them all of a sudden.

“Monk, your enchantment is quite good.” The tanned girl was drinking something in her hand as if she was replenishing her energy. She had consumed a lot of energy when she was fighting with Bai Yingying just now.

Facing Bai Yingying who was carrying a burden on her back, the tanned girl chose not to rush into a fight and capture the zombie that she wanted to bring back as a laborer.

She knew that what she needed to do now was to recover her energy as soon as possible. It was not to guard against others but to guard against this monk.

He was a living person. Yet he was full of shouting for the "human rights of "ghosts".

In the tanned girl"s view, this kind of person was like those corrupted Madonna, either stupid or bad.

The scabby-headed monk was not stupid. It was the latter.

Although the two of them were close due to some transactions and other reasons, neither of them thought of the other as trustworthy.

“Then, this penniless monk shall meet his end. It is the responsibility of a Buddhist to eliminate evil and defend the path. However, this penniless monk previously told you that this penniless monk is only responsible for a.s.sisting and not helping.”

“What do you want? Say it.”

“Add another one to the original condition. A stalk of serene dream gra.s.s.”

“That is something that couples place their yearning on. I don"t have many of them. What do you, a monk, want that thing for?”

“You don"t need to know that.”

“Alright, I agree.”

“Amitabha.” The monk stepped down. Talking to Zhou Ze earlier was just a delaying tactic. Now, he officially stepped onto the stage.

“The Buddhist sea is boundless!” The monk held the Buddhist beads in his left hand and formed a seal with his right hand. The kasaya behind him rippled out. A vast Buddhist light immediately shone out.

This was very flashy but not a practical technique. In ancient times, eminent monks often used this to create miracles for their believers to brainwash them.

Of course, compared to those swindlers, this kind of miracle itself also proved that the eminent monk was indeed skilled.

Yingying carried Zhou Ze on her back and began to subconsciously retreat in the face of this scorching Buddhist light. This light gave her a feeling that she had nowhere to hide. It also had a natural restraining effect on the baleful aura on her body.

“Buddha is merciful!”

A Buddhist light made her aura completely stand on her side. In the next moment, the monk took off his kasaya and revealed his white training clothes. He charged straight at Yingying.

Yingying grabbed the boss on her back with one hand and used the other hand to barely meet the attack.

The monk"s strength was not very strong. Every time Yingying threw a punch, he would need several moves to resolve it. However, Yingying was unable to beat him back.

As the stalemate grew longer, the monk"s side was getting more aggressive with endless momentum. He pushed Yingying back.

The scabby-headed monk knew martial arts. He was not that kind of fake qigong master. All of his cultivation techniques were very solid, including his physical skills.

Even if a zombie was bound by one hand, for a person to be able to resist a zombie with a body of flesh and blood, it was enough to show how terrifying he was. He did not take drugs as the swarthy girl did. He was purely fighting in a normal state.

First, he used the seemingly flashy Buddhist light to completely suppress Yingying"s murderous aura. Then, he used close combat to weaken Yingying"s strength because he promised to capture the swarthy girl alive.

Naturally, it was impossible to kill this zombie. Spells that were too radical could not be used.

A folding hand came down. Yingying"s lower abdomen was struck heavily by the scabby-headed monk"s Buddhist beads. Yingying retreated. The boss on her back was about to fall.

When Yingying subconsciously tried to grab the boss, the monk struck with a Buddha seal!

Yingying had no choice but to push the boss away. She took the Buddha seal for the boss and fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Ze also fell to the ground, but he didn"t suffer any serious injuries because of Yingying"s protection. At most, he only scratched his skin. However, Zhou Ze"s last bit of willpower disappeared with this fall and he fell into a deep sleep.

“Merciful voyage!” The monk waved his hand. The kasaya from afar flew over. The monk bit his finger and wrote a blood talisman on the kasaya. Then, he covered Yingying with the kasaya!

“Ahhhhhh!!!” Yingying, who was covered by the kasaya, let out a scream.

The Buddhist aura on the kasaya was her biggest natural enemy to the baleful aura on her body.

“Huh…”

The scabby-headed monk stood up and took a step back. He let out a long sigh of relief. He had taken her down.

“Are you done?” The tanned girl walked over.

“Amitabha, the demon subjugation is over.”

“You"re still the best, monk. I"m a little afraid of you now. What if one day you"re in a bad mood and take me in as well?”

“Why would I be in a bad mood?”

“Huh?”

“It"s fine if you"re in a good mood.”

“Hehe.”

“It"s all thanks to your medicine. If he were still awake, we would be in a difficult situation. If this penniless monk guessed correctly, the person who killed Three Corpses in the hotel during the day should be him.”

The mangy-headed monk pointed at Zhou Ze, who was lying on the ground,

“If he wasn"t poisoned, it would have been very troublesome. Now that he"s been poisoned, the biggest problem has been solved.”

“I don"t know what it means to kill Three Corpses, but I do know one thing. There doesn"t seem to be anything special about this guy. He might just be the best among the ghosts.”

“It"s different. Killing Three Corpses is a change in one"s state of mind and self-perfection. It won"t increase one"s cultivation, but the effect is very mysterious.”

“It"s just like the same sword. In the past, it was a child dancing, while the other was a swordmaster dancing. The same sword, the same length, the same sharpness. The effects are worlds apart.”

“I know. Stop talking nonsense. Go and bring the two idiots from the dining table. I"ll clean up this place. Then, you"ll come back with me. I"ll…”

“Kacha!”

Just as the tanned girl finished speaking the sound of the kasaya being torn apart could be heard!

Yingying, who was originally trapped by the kasaya, tore a crack in the kasaya with both of her hands. She was struggling to get out.

“Ahhh!!!”

Yingying"s hair turned white once again but it was half white and half black. She had activated her mutated bloodline twice in the same day. By the third time, she was already out of strength.

“There"s something wrong with this female zombie.” The scabby-headed monk said as he walked forward.

The tanned girl walked to the other side and grabbed Zhou Ze who was on the ground. She grabbed Zhou Ze"s neck with one hand and shouted directly, “Female zombie, if you resist again, I"ll kill him!”

When Yingying heard this, her imposing manner instantly became discouraged. The strength of her struggle weakened.

It seemed that it was because Yingying had given up on struggling, the kasaya that had just been torn open was slowly healing itself.

One could only vaguely see Yingying standing under the kasaya staring at the tanned girl in front of her who was grabbing her boss with bloodshot eyes.

The other party was threatening her boss"s life. Yingying did not hesitate and gave up resisting.

The tanned girl reached out her hand and gently patted Zhou Ze"s face. She found that Zhou Ze did not react at all. She smiled and said, “You"re still unconscious. Looks like my medicine is still very powerful. Hehe. I just don"t know what kind of charm a gigolo like you have. You"ve charmed the female zombie to death. She"s willing to sacrifice her own life for you.”

At this moment, Zhou Ze"s body suddenly trembled slightly. It was very subtle but the tanned girl who was holding him felt it. “Yo, it seems that the ghost messenger"s soul has been poisoned and fainted. The consciousness of an ordinary person has awakened. I say, don"t you have to thank me. Otherwise, you wouldn"t have the chance to come out and breathe fresh air.”

As she said that, she seemed to feel that it was not enough. The ghost girl patted Zhou Ze"s chin with her hand and shouted, “Are you mute? Speak!”
