Chapter 316: Three Saints

Talking Lady closed her eyes, and her aura was rising. The level-three zombies behind her retreated in terror. They then lowered their heads respectfully.

Since they followed her side, they should be subordinates that she tamed. They became more loyal this time.

Although zombies were disgusting, their world was much simpler than humans.

“Blood, I want, conditions, you raise.”

Talking Lady’s crystal started to give off a light blue glow. The main green crystal couldn’t cover that glow. She was one foot into the level-five gates. If she ate the remaining drop, she would evolve.

She didn’t choose to evolve because she was worried about Ye Zhongming and Red Hair.

After consuming the evolution blood, Talking Lady was more sure about the connection between the blood and her evolution.

Red Hair didn’t worry much, knowing she was safe with Ye Zhongming.

She consumed the three drops. She evolved right away along with the remaining drop that she used to heal her body. The giant vine flower appeared under her body to drag her into the sky. The wooden spikes connected to her, and then they wrapped her up.

The difference with the last time was that the red ball gave off a light glow like specks of light shining.

Talking Lady looked at Red Hair with envy, but that disappeared quickly.

She understood what this guy meant.

Restriction.

When Talking Lady looked at Ye Zhongming, she realized he was slightly stronger than other humans, but there wasn’t much difference. But as the two of them got closer, and they got stronger… The more she wanted to eat him!

That desire couldn’t be stopped. Especially today, when she saw Ye Zhongming, she nearly couldn’t hold herself back.

Unfortunately, she knew that Ye Zhongming was strong. When they were on the same level, she shouldn’t be his match, so she held back.

But this desire was hidden in her heart, unlike there was a chance for him to taste his fresh blood. She knew that such a day would come.

Talking Lady knew that after she helped this guy, although she got evolution blood as payment, she would also become his enemy. Her relationship with him was similar to her relationship with Red Hair.

When they faced an external enemy, they could trust each other and work together. Without an enemy, they would be a stepping stone.

This guy wouldn’t allow her to command all the zombies in Ying City, so she allowed Red Hair to evolve and restrict her.

Talking Lady understood what was happening, but she could do nothing. She couldn’t defeat him now, so she could only choose to accept it.

Ye Zhongming shook his head, “Unless you can get a huge amount of level-three crystals; if not, no.”

He looked at the level-three zombies behind Red Hair so that those fellows started to bear fangs at him.

“No, they, mine.” She wanted to make it clearer, but her speech ability was still too weak.

“Then no choice.” Ye Zhongming waved.

Talking Lady looked deeply at Ye Zhongming and disappeared with her subordinates.

Ying City got darker. Ye Zhongming knew that Ying City would welcome its new king today—a level-five king with a strong intellect.

But… This throne wouldn’t be too stable.

There was some movement from behind him that stopped near him. Ye Zhongming didn’t turn around, but his body tensed up.

“Master, Master.”

Ye Zhongming turned around and saw Red Hair half kneeling on the ground. Her voice was a little apologetic for trying to probe his strength.

He thought that Red Hair would break free from his control after she got to level five and even wanted to kill him. But what surprised him was that she continued to call him Master.

Master…

That was surprising.

He sensed the mental connection, which was still equal and even deeper than before. This was Red Hair acting of her own volition.

Although he didn’t understand her thoughts, this situation was good. He told her some things, and she jumped out of the window, disappearing into the darkness with her luscious hair.

Zombies were screeching, but those sounds got softer and further away.

As the night passed, Ye Zhongming knew it was time to return. But the path back wouldn’t be too easy.

………………

After Ye Zhongming announced his plans for the future, a few people stood beside a campfire on the path toward Cloud Peak.

Demon Gold wasn’t wearing clothes. He was barbecuing the leg of a monster. The meat scent spread into the distance. There were some zombies, but they were silenced.

The soldiers helped their boss deal with these disturbances.

“You called us here to see you barbecue?” The only girl of the three was slightly unhappy.

Demon Gold looked at this woman with a green mask. That arrogant face smiled.

“Green Flower, you must be full before we go to work.” Demon Gold didn’t mind her unhappiness. He brushed some oil onto the leg and scattered some spices. The flames gave it a sizzling sound.

She nodded and turned towards a taller guy, “Abyss Mountain Saint, did you solve your matter from Lin City?”

Abyss Mountain’s body was very straight, and he was expressionless. He held his arms behind his back and gave off a cold feeling.

“Nothing cannot be solved with a blade.”

Demon Gold scoffed and was unhappy with his words. Wasn’t he implying that his blade wasn’t sharp enough? That was because your city didn’t have a monster like Ye Zhongming.

But although he was unhappy, he didn’t say it out. After all, the boss sent Abyss Mountain to help him.

“Saint Demon Gold, I understand a bit of the situation. We have to wait here for him?” Green Flower knew that the guy saints in the guild were all proud. She had to be the one to neutralize it.

“More accurately, we are waiting for him in the darkness.” Demon Gold laughed coldly, “He gained many things and is already four-star. Although we don’t fear him, we need to be safe. Our cities are rising, and we can’t let anything happen to us.”

Green Flower nodded; even Abyss Mountain didn’t oppose. Compared to their development, a stone wasn’t worth them paying a huge price.

“This time, let’s let him taste the feeling of being ganged up on! I found a strong opponent for him.” Demon Gold bit his teeth and smiled, “It is done, taste my cooking. Don’t worry about that fellow. This time, we might gain two benefits.”
