Seeing the pitifully low loyalty, Qin Shilei really wanted to beat Ding Teng up again.
But seeing the other party looking like he was about to die at any moment, he had no choice but to take out the corpse of an alien beast and throw it beside him.
"Stop playing dead, quickly eat this alien beast before you really die later."
The other party was a zombie, and healing potions were not only useless but would worsen his injuries. This kind of alien beast flesh and blood, rich in energy, was the best supplement for zombies.
Ding Teng moved slightly but couldn't get up.
"Hmph, claiming to be the Zombie Emperor, yet you can't even feed yourself."
Qin Shilei picked up the Claw Beast from the ground and placed it by Ding Teng's mouth.
The pungent blood immediately flowed into Ding Teng's half-open mouth.
With the replenishment of blood, Ding Teng's wounds began to heal rapidly.
Soon, Ding Teng regained a small amount of strength, sat up directly, and held the Claw Beast, rapidly sucking its remaining blood.
Qin Shilei then threw dozens more fresh corpses of various alien beasts to him.
Under the nourishment of sufficient blood, Ding Teng's wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the half-rotten large intestine in his stomach grew back, and he stuffed it into his belly. The wound, as large as a bowl, then completely healed.
"Tsk tsk, this recovery ability is truly enviable."
For a moment, Qin Shilei considered using the Life Sharing Jade Pendant on him.
But then he remembered that he had almost beaten the other party to death, and sharing life with him was too risky, so he gave up.
"Why are you only drinking blood and not eating the meat?"
Qin Shilei looked at the dozens of alien beasts whose blood had been drained and asked.
Ding Teng replied faintly, "I still prefer cooked food."
"......"
Qin Shilei smiled faintly and said, "You drink fresh blood with relish, yet you say you prefer cooked food. Your taste is truly unique."
He opened the system panel again and took a look.
Loyalty: 60 (Low loyalty, the other party may rebel at any time.)
It turned out that the previous feeding hadn't increased his loyalty at all.
What a waste.
Qin Shilei's face darkened, and he said impatiently, "Hurry up and change your clothes, we're going back to Hope City."
"Hey, can you let me go back to Dujiang City first to pick up my son before we go to that Hope City?"
Ding Teng took the clothes Qin Shilei handed him and pleaded.
"Oh right, Qi Pengju mentioned that your son is in the back garden of the City Lord's mansion."
Qin Shilei asked with some curiosity, "Is he also a zombie?"
Ding Teng shook his head, "He's human. I originally planned to subdue you and have you protect him."
Qin Shilei became more and more interested in his newly acquired contracted spirit.
A vague thought slowly emerged in his mind.
Qin Shilei also had a subordinate with a zombie physique, Duan Tianhe.
Although Duan Tianhe's body had also been zombified, he firmly believed he was human.
Ding Teng, on the other hand, did not shy away from being a zombie and was even proud of being the Zombie Emperor.
The two not only differed greatly in strength but also in the number of zombies they could control.
Ding Teng currently controlled tens of millions of zombies, and that was not his limit.
If Ding Teng were used well, perhaps the zombie crisis in the Great Xia Kingdom could be easily resolved.
However, the troublesome loyalty made Qin Shilei very frustrated.
[Do you want to refresh attributes?]
[Refresh.]
White-eyed Wolf (Green): As the number of times he betrays his master increases, his strength will greatly improve.
This attribute must have been designed by the system to be annoying.
Uncle's Charm (Red): With every gesture, he exudes the charm of a mature man, increasing his attraction to the opposite sex by 100%. The targets of attraction are not limited to zombies or humans.
Imperial Demeanor (Purple): The demeanor of the Zombie Emperor is doubled, making it easier to control zombies, doubling the number of controlled zombies, and making it difficult for controlled zombies to rebel even when far from Ding Teng.
Qin Shilei had hoped to roll an attribute similar to "Loyal Dog," but he was not successful.
At this moment, the other party's loyalty was too low, so he was not in a hurry to fix the attributes.
The two rode on the "Little Strong" that had just arrived, flying towards Dujiang City, chatting as they went.
Soon, Dujiang City appeared before them.
Ding Teng immediately and impatiently flew down towards the City Lord's mansion below.
"No harming humans!"
Qin Shilei shouted as he chased after him.
As soon as he flew into the back garden, Ding Teng had already run from the back garden to the front hall.
Qin Shilei did not rush in after him.
Although his new subordinate considered himself the Zombie Emperor, he hadn't shown a bloodthirsty side and acted more like a rational human.
He probably wouldn't harm humans easily.
Just as Qin Shilei was leisurely walking towards the front hall, a voice suddenly came from ahead.
"Stop. If you move again, I'll kill your son immediately."
Qin Shilei's heart jolted, and he quickened his pace towards the front hall.
"Release my son, and I'll leave you all a complete corpse."
But when Qin Shilei entered the hall, he heard Ding Teng's murderous words.
Looking up, Ding Teng stood in the center of the hall. In front of him were Qi Pengju and others.
At this moment, Qi Pengju was holding a small child covered in wounds, with a long saber pressed against the child's neck.
The sharp blade was almost cutting the child's skin.
On his left and right, his subordinates also held sharp weapons, placed on the child's neck.
"City Lord Qin, please stay. If you can't deal with this Zombie Emperor, we have our ways to handle him."
Upon seeing Qin Shilei, Qi Pengju immediately stopped him.
He then threatened Ding Teng again, "Zombie Emperor, I know you are very powerful. The moment you move, we will kill your son. You wouldn't want your only son to be buried with us, would you?"
"What do you want?" Ding Teng asked through gritted teeth, suppressing his anger.
"Simple."
Qi Pengju smiled and said, "As long as you recognize me as your master and obey my commands from now on, I will treat your son as I would the young city lord."
He originally just wanted to use Ding Wenle to save his own life and that of his subordinates. Now, seeing how much Ding Teng valued his son, he immediately had the idea of subduing him.
Ding Teng turned his head and looked at Qin Shilei with a strange expression.
Qin Shilei couldn't help but speak, "City Lord Qi, he is a Golden Peak Zombie Emperor, while you are only at the Silver Nine Star cultivation. I'm afraid even if he were willing, you couldn't subdue him."
"City Lord Qin, you don't need to worry about that."
Qi Pengju glanced at Qin Shilei and said indifferently.
Gongsun Xi even sneered, "I think you're just afraid that if our City Lord subdues this Zombie Emperor, he'll threaten you, so you don't want our City Lord to subdue him."
Qin Shilei chuckled but did not speak again.
Ding Teng said coldly, "Release my son, and I will leave immediately and will not pursue your offense."
Qi Pengju sneered, "I don't trust a Zombie Emperor like you. Unless you recognize me as your master, you won't get your son back."
He paused and added, "Just a reminder, I've already given your son poison. As long as I die, your son won't survive either. So don't try any tricks."
