Zhou Ze didn"t quite understand what the h.e.l.l was going on. In the past, it was that person who took the initiative to unseal and called him out when he encountered trouble. That was the only way he was able to come out.

This time there were no signs. It was as if he just woke up and took control of this body. Zhou Ze"s plan to kill Three Corpses and a.s.similate the other Zhou Ze did not succeed. Zhou Ze even pa.s.sed him a cigarette and added an “An”. It made him furious. Then, the scene suddenly changed. This was the reason why he had been silent for so long when he had just woken up.

Zhou Ze walked to Bai Yingying"s side. Bai Yingying looked at him with fear. Looking at the face which was usually very kind to her, she was scared. This fear was not just a feeling. It was also in her face. It was clear. It was obvious. Her fear for him was seared into her bones and veins.

“Why… are you afraid of me…” asked Zhou Ze. He didn"t know why. He thought he was able to be indifferent to everything, but he had a special feeling for this little zombie. It was a very strange sense of closeness that made him curious. He asked her this question.

“Ah, um…” Bai Yingying was at a loss for words. How should she answer this question?

This situation was a little like a middle school couple. The boy holds the girl"s hand and asks, “Why don"t you like me?”. However, the sweet resemblance was spoiled for Bai Yingying because she wasn"t facing a middle schoolboy. She was facing her own ancestor!

Imagine one day, when you wake up, an ancient old man is sitting by your bed. He is holding your hand and telling you that he"s your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. Then, he asks you very seriously, “Why don"t you like me?”. How would you feel?

“Tsk…”

Seeing that Bai Yingying didn"t answer, Zhou Ze felt a little bored. He reached out and placed his hand on Bai Yingying"s forehead. Bai Yingying did not dare to move. She felt that his palm was very cold. Even this zombie could get cold!

“Hiss…”

Yingying felt a throbbing pain. Yingying closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Zhou Ze had pulled out a golden thread from her forehead. He crushed it without hesitation. These were the remnants of the Buddhist attributed power in Yingying"s body.

Bai Yingying was surprised to find that the discomfort she felt in her body disappeared. She felt relaxed. Her body was still weak, but it was not as uncomfortable as before.

“Thank you…”

Zhou Ze looked at the female zombie in front of him. He closed his eyes as if he was thinking about something. Then, he opened his eyes again. He reached out and grabbed her hand. He felt his hand slip before he could do anything. Zhou Ze"s gaze focused. He seemed a little surprised. He did not expect it!

The female zombie had pulled her hand away! She did not allow him to hold her!

“Hehehe…” Bai Yingying smiled awkwardly. She was so angry. She didn"t dare to resist, but she still had to pretend to be polite!

Zhou Ze"s eyes flashed red. He raised his head and forcefully suppressed himself.

Bai Yingying felt the temperature around her suddenly drop. It quickly rose again. As a zombie, Bai Yingying experienced for the first time the effects of change in temperature in her body. The old her had no such concept!

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand again and took her hand. He held on tight and hard.

Uh-huh? She wants to take it away? How dare she take it away? How dare she? Again? You"re still trying? Stop it!

Hiss… Zhou Ze took a deep breath.

The oriole was trying hard, but she couldn"t pull her hand away. He was so strong. Then, Bai Yingying noticed that he was trembling. "Yes, he was trembling. Eh, why was he trembling? Was he not feeling well?"

“Ah, it hurts!” Before she could think too much, Bai Yingying felt a sharp pain in her palm. Yingying"s body was usually soft and smooth to the touch, but in reality, it was not that easy to hurt her.

 Zhou Ze let go. Bai Yingying immediately opened her palm. She found that there was a very deep wound caused by a nail. Bai Yingying bit her lip. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked up at Zhou Ze who was squatting beside her. She wanted to hit him but it seemed that she really could not beat him!

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!

However, Bai Yingying did not realize that deep in the wound on her palm, there was something black slowly circulating. It was gradually fusing into her body and dissipating into nothingness.

Zhou Ze looked at Bai Yingying. He could see anger and hatred in Bai Yingying"s eyes. This made him even angrier. He raised his hand.

Yingying was so frightened that she shrank back and closed her eyes. If her old ancestor wanted to hit her, she could only accept it. There was no other way.

Zhou Ze did not hit her. He lowered his hand and stood up. He walked over to the tanned girl who was trapped there by his invisible chains.

The tanned girl"s face was stuck to the road. She had countless scratches on her body. She looked very miserable. She had her eyes closed and kept muttering, “He can"t see me. He can"t see me. He can"t see me…”

People often mocked the ostrich"s self-deceiving behavior of burying its head in the sandpit to avoid danger. In reality, it was just the pot calling the kettle black. Most people did this kind of thing in their daily lives. They did it more than the ostrich.

Zhou Ze stood in front of her.

“He can"t see me. He can"t see me. He can"t see me…”

Then, the tanned girl stopped murmuring. She opened her eyes and raised her head with difficulty. She looked at Zhou Ze who was standing in front of her.

Zhou Ze was standing very straight, but his gaze was slightly downwards. He was looking down at her.

“Hehe… hehe… hehe…” The tanned girl grinned foolishly politely and awkwardly. Other than this reaction, she didn"t know what else to do. She was the meat on the chopping block. What else should she do? Even if she dug her mother-in-law out of the vegetable field now, she probably didn"t know what to do at this time.

Zhou Ze didn"t move, nor did he speak. He continued to look down at her like this. The atmosphere sank into a kind of stagnation. Boundless pressure gathered from all directions.

The tanned girl"s heart was filled with unspeakable bitterness. She was just a pitiful little girl planting flowers. Why did he have to treat her like this?

“Hehe… hehe… hehe… hehe…” The tanned girl laughed until she felt the corners of her mouth begin to twitch. Her saliva began to drip down.

Zhou Ze suddenly squatted down. The tanned girl sizzled and sucked back her saliva. She looked at the man in front of her in horror.

“You… this… look…”

“Hmm?”

“Brain… damage… Huh?”

“…” the tanned girl.

Not long ago, the tanned girl had grabbed the man in front of her. She reached out and patted his chin. She laughed and shouted, “Hey, he has brain damage!”

Streams of black smoke rose from behind Zhou Ze. They began to surround the tanned girl. Zhou Ze opened his palm. Bottles and jars of colorful fruits and seeds piled up on his palm. The tanned girl had a lot of things on her.

Boss Zhou used to like to search for things from living or dead people who had lost their fight. Here everything became simpler.

“They are all local specialties grown by our family. They have not been treated with pesticides and are harmless. They are not worth much. Please accept them.”

The tanned girl immediately put on the face of a simple vegetable farmer. Dark skin and sincere eyes. It was very similar to the song “Little girl picking wheat ears”.

“Kcha…” Zhou Ze clenched his palm, the things in his hand were instantly shattered!

“Uh…” The tanned girl"s heart instantly turned cold. This meant that the other party did not like the things she had grown. This meant that the other party also did not like her. She knew how she dealt with things that she did not like. Usually, she would crush them and scatter them as fertilizer.

“Hiss…”

Suddenly, the tanned girl heard the man in front of her gasp. She carefully raised her head. She saw this arrogant and cold man holding onto his chest with one hand. He knelt on one knee on the ground, it was as if he had a heart attack. He was in a lot of pain.

“Hiss…” Zhou Ze gripped his chest with all his might. d.a.m.n it. This sudden heartache caught him off guard. He felt as if he couldn"t stand. His body swayed.

The scabby-headed monk had glared at him. The dark-skinned girl"s flames of karma couldn"t even make him frown. However, now he was in so much pain.

“A little… promising… Can I…” Zhou Ze muttered to himself. “These… trash… what… do… with them…”

Zhou Ze raised his head. He gritted his teeth. His eyes were filled with the flames of anger.

What depressed him the most was the person he hated so much. The person that drove him almost crazy was too close to him. So close that he was inside his body. He had no way to attack him or tear him apart. He was so depressed that he could only pa.s.sively endure it!

“It"s not over… It"s over… right…” Zhou Ze warned. “Hiss…”

His heart was so painful that he couldn"t breathe!

Zhou Ze lowered his head. His crimson eyes stared at the tanned girl lying in front of him. The tanned girl jumped in fright as if she was about to be eaten alive.

“Hey…”

Ah, you"re calling me? Weren"t you talking to yourself?

“Hey…” Zhou Ze"s voice became louder.

“Ah, I"m here!” The tanned girl immediately replied.

“Those…” Zhou Ze pointed at the colorful dregs that he had crushed on the ground. He continued, “Can you still… grow… ?”
