“Can… still… grow… ?”

“Hmm..”

“Hmm?”

“Hmm!!!”

The tanned girl finally reacted, she immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“Yes, I can. The best thing I can do in my life is to grow crops! Really!!!”

The tanned girl seemed to have forgotten the bold words she had said to Yingying a while ago on the sh.o.r.e. Now… her mind was filled only with, “It smells so good!”

Zhou Ze heaved a long sigh of relief after hearing that as his heart finally stopped hurting. He felt a little helpless. Except in his helplessness… he seemed to have gotten a little used to it. The first time he was embarra.s.sed… he felt ashamed. The second time, he felt a little more ashamed. The third time, he questioned what it meant to be ashamed? How many ways could the word "ashamed" be written?

The tanned girl felt a great weight lift off her heart. Her mother-in-law was right, the heavens could not starve a craftsman to death. This time she could survive purely because she knew how to farm. However, not long after she was relieved… the tanned girl saw Zhou Ze suddenly raise his hand, what was he doing?

"Hey… no!”

Zhou Ze"s hand fell, it landed on the tanned girl"s knee as five fingernails directly pierced through very cleanly without any warning and without any hesitation!

“Pfft!”

“Ahhhhh!!!”

The tanned girl screamed in pain. Except the more she screamed, the more intense the pain in her knee became. It was as if he was deliberately showing off to her. The tanned girl immediately shut her mouth and bit her lips hard. She stopped screaming, but there were tears flashing in her eyes.

“Helpless, desperate and confused. Didn"t you say that I would live to help you plant vegetables?”

“At first, you let her run so far away and then drag her back. Now, you just asked her if she knew how to grow vegetables, and now you"re treating her like this.”

“You"re The Devil!!!”

Zhou Ze let go of his hand as five b.l.o.o.d.y holes appeared on the tanned girl"s knee, and what was even more terrifying was that the corpse poison had already begun to permeate the entire leg from here. Even the meridians of her entire leg were protruding out, it was as if they were about to explode. The girl"s leg had become like this. However, the culprit that caused all of this did not have the slightest bit of guilt. His expression was still very calm. Furthermore, he raised his hand… and placed it on the girl"s other knee.

“Ah, Wu!!!”

With the first experience, the mental endurance of the second time was much stronger as it didn"t seem as painful as the first time. Everyone had experiences as well, and they were more familiar with each other. The girl"s lips were about to bleed from the biting, but this time she didn"t scream. The second time was indeed much faster than the first. The girl let go of her lips as she looked exhausted.

A total of ten b.l.o.o.d.y holes appeared on her knees, and these black b.l.o.o.d.y holes extended to her legs in all directions. If she did not wear long pants in the future, she would look extremely terrifying. Even the black threads could not hide the green and black blood vessels that were almost exposed. The tanned girl looked at Zhou Ze in a daze, what was she doing? Killing but not killing… was it purely torture?

“Your… leg… is… crippled…”

The tanned girl closed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she then said, “Thank you”

Two of her legs had been crippled, she still had to answer “Thank you”

This… was survival. Farmers relied on the weather to survive. They understood the logic of survival. If it did not rain, the crops would wither and die. There was no other way but to accept their fate! Zhou Ze seemed to be very satisfied with the tanned girl"s att.i.tude, how many years had it been. Back then, he had long been used to the feeling of being the sole ruler of h.e.l.l.

Anyone… had to submit to his throne. Of course… It was also because he had been too full of himself back then. Now that he was in this state, he had become even more dangerous. Those old things who had been bullied by him in the past and were still alive. Alternatively, their descendants and successors, if they knew they were still alive… they would probably immediately come to kill him with great fanfare.

When he thought of this, Zhou Ze"s brows slightly furrowed as an irritable feeling lingered in his heart.He hated this kind of life as a street rat, it was as if he was hiding in a sewer. All he could do every day was lick his wounds. The most helpless thing was that there was a rat beside him, it ate and slept every day. Moreover, it liked to collect garbage and hide it as a treasure! These days… every day… was a form of torture.

“Corpse poison… enters the body… for thirty days… It needs to be detoxified… Once…”

The tanned girl widened her eyes. She was an expert at poisoning. At first, she had neglected many things because of the intense pain. She realized that he had not only destroyed her legs, but had also sealed the corpse poison in her body. She needed to detoxify once every 30 days? How was she going to detoxify it?

The swarthy girl tried to pretend to be calm. She felt that she had the hope of developing an antidote on her own, but then she looked at the man in front of her. He had poisoned her, could she cure it? The tanned girl really wanted to dig up her mother-in-law and call her over to ask her what she should do now, but when she thought about the horror of this man. The girl suddenly felt that even if she dug up the soil, maybe the mother-in-law below would shout, “No, I refuse to come out!”

She raised her head and accepted her fate, the tanned girl suddenly felt very tired. Her mother-in-law had brought her along to help her grow vegetables. She had finally treated her mother-in-law as a cabbage to grow. She had not lived happily for a few years, yet she had to be caught by others to grow vegetables. Could it be that the farmer could never escape the fate of being exploited?

Most importantly, when facing this man, the tanned girl did not have the courage to shout out that sentence. A king or a n.o.bleman can plant anything! This man… just one look and her heart would be in a mess… how could she plant it! The corpse poison was just a time bomb, a means to control her. She knew that as long as she planted the fields in peace, steadily provided the harvest, displayed her value, and did not resist, he would help her deal with the corpse poison every once in a while as he would not let her die.

As for crippling her legs… it was purely to reduce her strength. If she was only planting flowers, she really did not need legs. Zhou Ze did not answer the question of how to detoxify the poison, this matter was not under his control as he could not be bothered to care about it. The person who wanted these pieces of trash was not him, but the shameless rat who slept and ate in the gutter all day long. Zhou Ze stood up as his fingernails began to scratch his chest, his clothes had a cut and his chest was exposed.

“Hmm, he had chest muscles!”

Boss Zhou did not exercise much, but thanks to the previous few times he had opened his chest, his body would suffer unspeakably every time. His skin would be torn open, but it could also be considered a different kind of body tempering. Muscle fibers had also grown out. It was not as exaggerated as Mr. Bodybuilder, but it also had the feeling of Wu Yanzu"s lines. Zhou Ze slowly inserted his nails into his chest, Yingying, who was beside him, widened her eyes, what is he going to do!

You can go to h.e.l.l, but don"t take my boss with you!

Hey!

Yingying stood up subconsciously, she was ready to stop him. But Zhou Ze gave her a stare, Yingying was shocked, at the same time, her already weak body swayed and she fell to her knees.

“Boss, don"t…”

Zhou Ze"s nails still pierced in, and then.., a ball of red light was released from his chest. Painful.., very painful.., very painful.., but this pain was worth it! This time.., Boss Zhou was poisoned by the tanned girl, so he didn"t take the initiative to ask the r.e.t.a.r.d to release the seal and win. It was equivalent to an accident, allowing this person to successfully escape from prison. So.., after resolving the matters around him.., he wanted to fight for the last bit of time, he planned to try and break the seal!

“Ahhhhhh!!!”

Zhou Ze shouted at the top of his lungs, pain.., pain.., it was all real.., and it was the kind that pierced into the bone marrow. But Zhou Ze did not give up, he could not give up either. His nails pierced into the flesh, he began to continuously pull it out, the red light began to move outward more and more, even the blood-red word “Seal”in his consciousness, was constantly swaying and flickering, as if it could collapse at any time. The idiot began to move incessantly, stabilizing the seal, holding a stalemate with that one, tracing again and again, he thickened it again and again, this was a long-lasting compet.i.tion. If it was in the past, if he was released by the Idiot, then the idiot would have the ability to forcefully seal him back. This time, it really was an accident.

“Hehe… hehe…”

Zhou Ze laughed, he knew that, this time, it was impossible to directly succeed, but this time.., it was enough to damage the seal of the pen! As the Master of the Netherworld Sea back then, he could not allow that smelly rat to treat him like a free ATM, he could withdraw money whenever he wanted! He was definitely not someone who would submit to fate, otherwise, he would not have disobeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor back then! Zhou Ze"s two fangs began to slowly reveal themselves, the skin on his body began to turn green, above his head, it seemed to have condensed into a terrifying black cloud vortex that was constantly churning. Ancient and mysterious runes began to appear on Zhou Ze"s body. Every stroke and stroke here contained the most profound mysteries. It was even possible that some of the so-called Rune Masters"inheritances.., had been inherited from a single stroke of the runes on Zhou Ze"s body!

“Break… For me!”

The intense pain caused Zhou Ze"s body to begin to tremble. Yingying and the tanned girl by the side were dumbstruck, especially the tanned girl. She only felt that this man in front of her was truly too terrifying. It was truly the kind of terror that was difficult to describe with words. It was too terrifying, this man.., couldn"t be provoked, couldn"t be provoked, this was.., going crazy, he even killed himself!
