Seeing that I didn't say anything, the Thorny Immortal reached out his hand to poke my finger and said with a chuckle, "I don't think you're that afraid. You should know a person's flesh and blood."
I sighed. Following his example, I carried a large watermelon in my arms. At this moment, there was something in my embrace that made my heart calm down.
"What do you think the exchange of flesh and blood will do?" I tried to change my tone as much as I could, so that the Thorn Fairy wouldn't be under pressure too.
He shook his head, looked at the two ancient corpses outside the door, and said, "This depends on how much your flesh is different from before."
"Talisman drawing is easier to use, is it?" I couldn't think of anything different about myself.
Just like before, he was sick with a cold, and the cuts on his body were excruciating.
"Yeah, that's not quite —" The Thorny Immortal laughed mischievously.
I sighed, Liu Kunsheng's actions were extremely fast, and I had never told me the difference before. Grey Immortal did mention a few things, but because of Liu Kunsheng, he didn't dare to say it explicitly.
The Thorny Immortal curled his lips and was about to eat the watermelon when I quickly offered him the watermelon. He said carefully, "You're one of the five great deities. Your cultivation is so high — —"
"If you have something to say, just say it. Didn't Yang Wei tell you, is flattering me useless?" Ci Xian didn't even accept the watermelon in my hand. He stared at me and said, "Have you ever eaten a hot watermelon before?"
"Is that so?" I awkwardly pulled the watermelon back into my embrace and chuckled at him. "Do you know about the Snake Tribe's blood oath?"
I had been stuck with this question for a long time, asking this question from the Twin-Tailed Snake Demon and then asking Liu Kunsheng at the bus stop.
He said with great affection that he wanted me to believe him, so I also believed him.
It was just that after the snake bone appeared, things became different. I slowly realised, maybe from the start, the so called Snake Tribe blood oath Liu Kunsheng lied to me.
I still don't know why he swapped blood for meat, but at least he didn't hurt me.
When the Thorny Immortal heard these words, the watermelon he was holding sank to the ground. However, he quickly put his arms around me and shook his head. "That must be the Snake Tribe's thing. I'm a hedgehog. How would I know about their thing?"
"Oh." I replied in a low voice and didn't say anything else.
If the Thorny Immortal wanted to keep Chen Ren here for a few days, he would have to give Yang Wei and I supplementary lessons.
I was only able to teach them a few things at first, but after that I met with a few people and things that couldn't be more strange, and either relied on Liu Kunsheng or the Grey Immortal to help me settle it.
Afterwards, I had Lil 'White. It would eat anything it could eat, and I was practically hanging up.
But Stabbing Immortal taught me a lot of things, treated me like the same person as Chen Ren, and even gave me a set of the same things.
I was afraid that he would force me to kowtow and acknowledge him as my teacher, but he taught me how to use the Soul Summoning Bell, how to use talisman paper to bind a corpse, and how to use ink.
Even he has taught me many ways to use the peach wood sword. However, I can still avoid killing evil spirits by expelling evil spirits. Anyway, he has already taught me everything he can teach me.
Furthermore, after finishing his training every night, he would not go easy on Little White at all. He would treat Little White to watermelon very respectfully and would then call the zombies guarding the yard over to Chen Ren and me.
Lil 'White didn't care about me at all when he had food to eat. How could he care about anything else?
Chen Ren entered the sect even later than I did, I was already familiar with the Yu Bu Incantation so I had to take care of him. After a day, my entire body was covered with wounds, and Yang Wei had to grind the glutinous rice milk bubbles.
The Thorny Immortal said that he didn't need to soak in it at all. His body is full of Gu worms and his healing ability is very good.
I didn't believe it at first, but then I realized all my wounds would be healed after a night's sleep.
Thus, Yang Wei and I grinded the glutinous rice milk for Chen Yinbao, while the Thorny Immortal would go out every night and only return when the sky was about to brighten. During the day, he would not go out even under the sun, and would instead stay in the house to eat watermelon.
Originally, I thought that the five great deities had their own methods of cultivation but I have never seen Liu Kunsheng before. Grey Immortal normally returns to the mountains, so I have always been curious as to how those monsters would release the energy from the moon and the moon.
It wasn't until one day when I was really curious and followed him in the middle of the night with Little White that I found out that he didn't suck the essence of the sun and the moon at all, but went to steal watermelons.
He was rolling around in the melon fields, eating until he was done eating. Then he would roll around a few more times and go home.
He even rudely rolled to my feet and told me to call Little Four out to help him carry the watermelon. Obviously, he knew that we had followed him from the start.
I could only obediently ask Little Four to bring him watermelon. That night, Little Four was about to cry. After moving for an entire night, the entire house was filled up from the melon fields to the melon fields.
Since then, I've given up on spitting out moon beads. This is probably what we humans came up with ourselves.
Strangely speaking, since arriving here, Chen Ren had never gotten sick and had always been a well-behaved child.
Sometimes, he would get cut by a zombie, and if the wound wasn't treated quickly enough, white hair would instantly grow out from the wound, and he would endure the pain without making a sound.
A ten-year old child, looking at him would make anyone's heart ache.
After a week, I had pretty much used up all of the things in the corpse bandit group. The Thorny Immortal told me to go back with Yang Wei, he wanted me to stay with him, Chen Ren.
"But what about his younger brother and sister?" I promised Chen Ren's grandmother that I would let him see her once a month.
"When they see Chen Ren, it's like a mouse seeing a cat. They're so scared that they pass out. What are they waiting for?" The Thorny Immortal snorted at me.
Chen Ren's face was filled with grief, but he insisted on staying. The matters that had been passed down through his family for several generations left him in deep sorrow.
"Chen Ren's condition is special, the moment you smell the blood and flesh of a human, you will go crazy. This is the root of his illness, and only here, where we interact daily with corpses. Once we become accustomed to human flesh, it will be fine for us to be afraid."
I know this logic, but thinking of a ten-year old child who is currently still full of energy while dealing with corpses everyday is really a bit inhumane.
"Think about it. If he doesn't stay here, sooner or later, he'll turn into a monster like his parents." The Spiked Immortal sighed.
My heart sank as I followed Yang Wei to leave. I touched Chen Ren's body again and again, but I didn't know what to say. In the end, I scratched my head and said to him, "When you miss your little brother and sister, I'll bring them to see you."
"Cough!" Yang Wei coughed heavily at the side.
I know that the Thorny Fairy doesn't like strangers, but I really can't bear to see a child become so dull like this.
"Why aren't you leaving yet? Next time you come, you'll be in the store outside. Don't come to my place, it's a little kid's house. Be careful not to cry." The Thorny Immortal shouted at me. Then, he pulled the pleasantly surprised Chen Ren into the courtyard and shut the door with a 'pa' sound.
As Yang Wei and I drove, after thinking about it again and again, we still felt pity for Chen Ren.
The Chen family was cursed. Perhaps the first generation found out that something was amiss, but who knew where they found such a method? They actually used human blood to feed their babies, and when they grew up, they would feed on human flesh every day.
This child was already used to eating human flesh, so he didn't have much desire for the food outside. Even if he saw someone, he wouldn't show a strange expression.
I don't know if Yang Qunmei knew about this at all, but at least she hid it after I went to her place. The reason she asked Chen Li to bring food to school wasn't actually for Chen Li, but for Chen Ren to eat.
Perhaps at first, Chen Ren didn't even know that he was eating human flesh. He only felt that the food in his house was more delicious than the food outside.
We also did not expect that the Chen family would use such a method to protect the inheritance, and not directly open the coffin to take care of the weirdos.
He really didn't understand the thoughts of the Chen family members.
Just as he was thinking this, the car came to a sudden stop. A woman wearing revealing clothes slowly walked over and laid her alluring body against the window.
He ignored me and smiled towards Yang Wei: "Handsome brother, what road are you taking at night? Take a rest."
Let's not even talk about how excessive it was for her to stop a taxi, isn't it a bit too audacious for her to hire guests?
Panting. Although elder sister is a corpse, she can still pant.
She just stood there by the side of the road and didn't care about the ladies in the car. What was this all about?
"No need." Yang Wei said softly.
Just as he was about to drive away, when the window was about to open, he suddenly stopped. He looked at the woman and asked, "How many night wallets?"
I was instantly petrified. Yang Wei actually wanted to cover the night?
