"Ugh..."
The blood in my mouth woke me from the Book of Reincarnation. The first thing I saw was Old Chen's bearded old face.
He still had his hand propped on his cheek, looking at me with a grin.
"Not bad! You look young, but you're actually a flying zombie with some skills?"
"I... I was framed by my parents!"
I had no memories. In fact, I had no impression of my biological parents at all. In the Book of Reincarnation, the only person I remembered was A Wen!!
Du Wenzhong, Old Man Du!!
Although he didn't care about his appearance at all, he never went shirtless in summer!
Because there was a hideous scar on his shoulder. I once asked him how he got it.
He boasted proudly that he had fought a powerful monster in the mountains for three hundred rounds. He had beheaded the monster, but the monster had bitten him and left this scar as a mark of his merit!
In the past, I always laughed at him for boasting. Now I understand that I was that terrifying monster!
My parents had abandoned their only daughter to curry favor with that warlord surnamed Si. They had raised me into an immortal "Boneless Corpse"!
Presumably, Du Wenzhong was the medicinal person they had raised for me. If I ate him, I'm afraid I would become the "Boneless Corpse" as they wished and be used by Si Jiangchen...
So, this was the extent of my fate with Si Jiangchen?
I was born to be a consumable. It was the same in the past! And now... it should still be the same!
More than one person had told me that Si Jiangchen was about to face the Heavenly Tribulation. I was probably his substitute for the tribulation!!
I leaned my hand on the table and gasped heavily. It felt as if a boulder was pressing on my heart.
"Show me the rest!!"
I reached out to grab the silk pages of the Book of Reincarnation, but Old Chen waved his hand with a grin. "Don't always look at your own. Take a look at your man's."
Saying that, he threw out the silk scroll in his hand.
In an instant, I was surrounded by the light yellow silk brocade...
When I opened my eyes again, what greeted me was a sky full of crimson!
The blood-red crescent moon was hidden in the gray mist. Occasionally, there were two shrill wolf howls, adding to the dead air of the desolate mountain.
I slowly crawled out from among a pile of stiff corpses.
The cotton robe on my body was already soaked in blood and had frozen into ice slag. It made a "creaking" sound when I walked!
It seemed that I had to find another durable one!
Otherwise, when I walked on the street later, I would surely be chased for several blocks by the watchdogs of those wealthy families!
As I was thinking about this, my stomach growled with hunger.
The famine-stricken commoners around me were all cold and smelled disgusting.
I remembered that there had been a gunfight between the soldiers and bandits in the mountain pass in front during the day.
Maybe some of them had survived...
I swallowed my saliva.
I slowly slid down from the earthen cliff.
These were chaotic times. Our Du Yang Town had been massacred by the warlords. Now, human lives were worthless. The lives of the common people were worthless, and the lives of the soldiers were also worthless!!
There were dozens of military corpses lying haphazardly on the slope below the cliff.
I wiped the ice on my head and rummaged through them with difficulty...
Suddenly, my fingers touched a warm body.
I was overjoyed and quickly moved aside the corpse of an adjutant in front of me to reveal the face of the man below.
His pale face, slightly pursed thin lips, and heroic long eyebrows that flew into his neatly trimmed sideburns. He was more handsome than anyone I had ever seen. He didn't look like someone who would die in the desolate mountains.
However, fate was playing tricks on him. There was a large patch of blood seeping through his neat cashmere uniform.
"Hey, don't blame me!!"
I reached out to undo his tightly buttoned collar. When my cold fingertips touched the warm pulse on the man's neck, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. "In this desolate place, you definitely won't survive. You might as well do me a favor!!"
Muttering to myself, I slowly leaned down and brought my lips closer to the man's neck.
"Don't move!"
Suddenly, there was a low shout above my head. At the same time, a cold and hard object was pressed against my forehead.
I looked up in panic and crashed into a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes.
The man had opened his eyes at some point, and his right hand was holding a Mauser pistol.
"Sorry..."
I pretended to struggle desperately and leaned on the man's chest, trying to get rid of the ambiguous position on top of him. But he grabbed my waist, and his strength didn't seem like that of a seriously injured and dying man at all.
"Help me up!"
The man's voice was hoarse from blood loss, but the muzzle of the gun pressed against my forehead was very steady. It almost poked into the skin on my forehead.
"Ouch... it hurts!"
My eyes turned red, and big teardrops rolled down my dirty face like broken glass beads.
I had been out of Du Yang Town for almost half a year. From the hot summer to the freezing cold now, I had suffered a great deal.
These days, I had gotten separated from A Wen. In order to get something to eat, I had to pretend to be pitiful at all times to make others let down their guard.
In these chaotic times, showing weakness was sometimes the most effective way to protect oneself.
But this trick obviously had no effect on the man. His hand almost squeezed my waist in half, but the muzzle of the gun did droop slightly.
"Find a horse, and I'll let you go."
Although it was only six words, I could hear a tremor in his voice.
Heh... he was really good at pretending!
I grinned.
"But... I'm so hungry! I can't walk!!"
I suddenly looked up, and my dark eyes were like two pieces of burning charcoal, looking straight into the man's eyes.
"Please... let me eat you!!"
Two sharp fangs suddenly appeared between my pale lips, and I bit towards the man's neck.
At the same time, the night sky under the crimson moon suddenly changed.
Big black clouds mixed with blue-purple lightning covered the crimson moon.
"Kaboom!"
"Bang!!"
The thunder almost rang out at the same time as the gunshot.
I was shot in the chest, and a puff of blood splashed out. But I was not willing to let the man escape. I grabbed him and fell heavily into the pile of corpses.
The powerful purple lightning in the sky narrowly struck beside my feet, kicking up a puff of gravel and dust.
"Ouch... it hurts!"
The intense pain in my chest finally made me cry sincerely.
What Boneless Corpse, what Immortality Bone!
Didn't I still feel the pain to death when I got injured?
I cursed in my heart. Although I was in so much pain that I was spasming, I still clung tightly to the man's muscular body with my hands and feet.
The thunder still roared in the sky.
The red or dark purple lightning flashed in the clouds and kept striking beside me. The flying gravel hit my face, and I could only desperately burrow into the man's arms...
The Thunder Fire of the Heavenly Tribulation!!
I had become a real zombie since I bit A Wen half a year ago.
Heaven was never lenient towards things like me, who were neither human nor ghost!
If it weren't for this man who I almost regarded as food, I'm afraid I would have been struck into a charred mass by the lightning!
