Chapter 893 It's Thundering! (Fourth Update, Seeking Subscriptions!)

The old woman said she wanted to give you a gift.

Then,

The old woman said she wanted to give her egg.

Zhou Zes mind immediately conjured up the anime *Little Tadpoles Look for Their Mother*.

But obviously,

The old woman's egg would very likely not be so miniature; it might even be bigger than a small apple.

Zhou Ze blinked, eliminating those strange thoughts from his mind.

"I'm really sorry, if you were to give me money, I could help you alleviate the problem of having too much.

But this e…

It's really too precious, I can't afford it."

He, Zhou Ze, runs a bookstore, not a breeding farm.

"Do you know who I am?"

The old woman looked up and asked.

This was like entrusting an orphan, first stating one's noble identity, then giving added value to the transferred progeny, even if that progeny was only half-finished.

Foreigners liked to play this game, often starting their self-introductions by saying they were the grandson of so-and-so or the son of so-and-so.

But Boss Zhou didn't like that at all.

He glanced at the old woman,

and said:

"Do *you* know who I am?"

"Heh… heh…"

Shut up!

Go to sleep!

Weren't you refusing to come out just now?

Go back!

"You… are… look…"

"If you act up again, do you believe I'll take your thing and find it a mate?"

"You… dare…"

"Watch me if I don't dare."

Boss Zhou felt he really needed to get the *sha bi* (idiot) back from Lao Zhang, otherwise this inexplicable popping up was really disconcerting.

"I have another treasure that I can give you as a reward for helping me preserve that thing."

"If it's about you, then don't bother."

Yingying was listening to the entire conversation beside him with a distressed expression, feeling that… it was so dirty.

The two weren't even arguing, just talking calmly, but the words that were popping out every now and then had an even higher frequency than during an argument.

"Sixty years ago, a great demon was here with me, and we made a bet. It lost, and it left me with a piece of animal skin, which contains a secret about the old forests of the Northeast.

"The animal skin records the exact location of a dragon vein."

Hearing this, Zhou Ze seemed to remember that the white fox had also mentioned this to him, trying to lure him into the old forest to go on an adventure with her.

"That stuff doesn't attract me much, my family doesn't have a throne to inherit."

"I… want…"

Shut your mouth!

"Is that so?" the old woman said, somewhat surprised. "I originally thought you would be interested in it, after all, you are someone related to the Lord of the Underworld.

"Actually, I still can't imagine why, with your background and the strength you displayed in the village earlier, you would willingly be a yinsi (underworld) constable in the mortal realm."

"Different personal interests and directions."

"Heh heh, you really don't want it?"

"Don't want it!"

"I… want…"

"..." Zhou Ze.

The next moment,

Zhou Ze suddenly sensed the restlessness in his body,

Damn it,

It was Tie Hanhan (Iron Idiot) who, seeing that Zhou Ze kept ignoring him,

had begun to riot actively, wanting to fight for control of his body.

So fierce?

When that stinky fox mentioned this to me back then, why didn't you react? Why are you reacting so strongly now?

"Uh…"

Zhou Ze bent over,

kneeling on one knee on the ground,

his hands clenched tightly,

his body spasming and twitching.

"Boss? Boss?"

Yingying looked at the boss with great concern, but didn't step forward to do anything. Actually, she could sense that the boss was fighting with the one inside him…

If they were fighting, it didn't seem dangerous, so she didn't need to interfere.

"Stop it!"

"Stop!"

"I told you to stop, did you hear me!"

Zhou Ze kept shouting in his mind.

It had been so long,

since he had played the game of body control with Ying Gou,

suddenly he was even a little rusty,

but he seemed to be much tougher than before,

probably because he had also improved a lot this year, eating and swallowing a lot. Now, although the *sha bi* (idiot) wasn't there, he could still stalemate with Ying Gou for three to five minutes, not like before, when he would be knocked down instantly.

The old woman stood on the side,

her expression a little awkward.

This kind of situation where they were chatting, talking about serious matters,

and suddenly she was seeing someone having an epileptic fit,

was a first for the old woman.

And at this moment,

Zhou Ze was still having a fierce exchange with Ying Gou.

"That thing is a hot potato!"

"I'm thinking about your safety!"

"You're getting picky now, wanting to eat dragon veins!"

"Damn it, I don't want her egg!"

"We can change our thinking, kill her, not take her egg, just take the animal skin from her, how about that?"

The struggle suddenly disappeared.

Obviously,

Ying Gou agreed to the suggestion.

Boss Zhou suddenly felt that although he had never met that Lord of the Underworld, he really had a feeling of receiving his true teachings from afar, becoming more and more shameless.

But this rule was well understood by the old woman in front of him.

Gambling addicts, gambling dogs, as long as they haven't completely come ashore for even a day,

were a bunch of inhumane beasts.

With them, there was no need to reason.

Zhou Ze, kneeling on one knee on the ground, raised his head,

his eyes revealing a hint of dark red.

The old woman spread her hands, making a gesture of not resisting.

She was an old fox, and someone who had spent her life mixing in gambling dens, what principles didn't she understand? What situations couldn't she see clearly?

"You can't snatch this animal skin, even if you use force, I can destroy it in advance.

I only want one promise from you."

"How can you believe that I will keep my promise?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Because you are not a gambler."

"Then I still don't…"

"Uh… hiss…"

The battle for body control started again,

and Boss Zhou knelt on the ground again, twitching.

Yingying smoothed the hair beside her ear with a slightly unnatural expression, heh heh, how awkward…

The old woman, on the other hand, was really a little baffled.

Finally,

Boss Zhou raised his head again,

seeming a little exhausted,

and said weakly:

"Alright, I'll take it."

The old woman smiled, a very happy smile.

Supported by Yingying, Zhou Ze stood up, wiping his sweat while saying to the old woman:

"Bring that animal skin, oh, and that egg of yours, bring it to me."

The old woman reached into her clothes,

Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed,

but he didn't see her hand move down,

but rather grabbed at her abdomen,

and quickly pulled it out again,

In her palm,

there was a white floating object like a firefly, still emitting a faint luster.

Honestly speaking,

this egg,

was much more pleasing to the eye than the kind of sticky big thing Zhou Ze had imagined.

The old woman took out a bottle, put the white firefly into it, and handed it to Zhou Ze.

Yingying helped Zhou Ze take it and asked, "How do you use this?"

She really had to ask,

it was a bit beyond her understanding.

"Heh heh." The old woman smiled, a smile that Zhou Ze couldn't understand.

"Alright, my request is very simple, let me be born, whether you hand me over to an orphanage or send me somewhere else for adoption, it's fine, you just need to protect me so I can be born safely."

"Are you saying that after you are born, you will be a person?"

"I… am a person."

This answer surprised Zhou Ze a little. He originally thought this was a demon, but he didn't expect it to be a person. He didn't know what she had experienced in her life to become like this.

"Alright, next is the animal skin you want."

The old woman suddenly took off her clothes,

revealing her body.

Zhou Ze didn't turn his head, nor did he avoid it, just watching. Honestly, she had a good figure, but when he thought that this old woman had raised dozens of gigolos, she suddenly lost her appeal.

The old woman turned around,

showing her back to Zhou Ze and Yingying.

On her back,

there was actually a map drawn, like a tattoo.

The old woman's fingernails began to cut the skin on her back.

This was truly a scene that could make one's scalp tingle.

The sound of skin and flesh tearing constantly came,

like a piece of paper being slowly torn open.

No wonder she said before that if she didn't give this animal skin, it couldn't be snatched, this animal skin had already grown on her body.

Finally,

the animal skin was torn off,

the old woman put on her clothes, turned around, and threw the entire piece of skin over.

Zhou Ze wasn't going to catch it,

but Yingying caught it.

"Alright, it's over, thank you."

The old woman bent over,

bowing to Zhou Ze,

and said with emotion:

"I've gambled all my life, really, in the end, winning or losing is really not on the gambling table.

You guys go, I'm tired, it's time to rest."

Zhou Ze watched the old woman climb back onto the bed,

shrugged his shoulders,

and felt a little uncomfortable with the bloody smell now permeating the room.

He pushed open the door,

and walked out.

As soon as he stepped out,

he was already in the wilderness.

He had indeed come directly out of the casino.

"It's a bit of a pity, I was thinking if there was a chance to go to the casino and play a few games to experience it," Zhou Ze said with emotion.

"Boss, then we can go back and play now, I brought money," Yingying was still so kind.

At this time,

Zhou Ze sensed that the bronze ring on the ring finger of his left hand suddenly trembled a few times.

Hmm,

what's wrong?

"Boom!"

Suddenly,

there was a sound of thunder above his head.

Zhou Ze raised his head in surprise,

and saw dark clouds rolling in suddenly above,

and in the depths of these black clouds, there was actually an aura that made him tremble!

This wasn't natural thunder,

this was tribulation lightning!

Zhou Ze suddenly understood what the old woman meant when she said "it's all over",

and also understood what the smile she showed when he said that she had another half a year to live meant.

When he took the straw-cloak youth, the lake demon, out of the gambling den,

this gambling den,

was equal to losing all concealment,

completely exposed to the gaze of Heaven.

And the gambling den was gathering an unknown number of ghosts, demons, and even ghost messengers who were caught up in the excitement of gambling.

The aura they emitted when gathered together,

was like an ultra-high-power incandescent lamp in the dark night,

enough to blind the eyes of Heaven!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Ahhh!"

Yingying was so frightened that she covered her ears and snuggled into Zhou Ze's arms.

In the field area ahead,

lightning kept striking down,

the scene was extremely shocking.

Zhou Ze let out a breath,

and said with lingering fear:

"It's thundering…"
