Chapter 1494: Chapter 810: Zhong Yu! I’ll Turn You All Into Zombies!

"You guys! You just fed him the Naked Heart Gu like that?" Zard was alarmed.

The Lian Tribe’s values are vastly different from the outside world. In their eyes, there’s no concept of chastity, and love is somewhat optional. Anyway, feeding the Naked Heart Gu naturally results in love.

The Naked Heart Gu doesn’t control anyone, but the emotions it creates are unbreakable.

Even though Zard is carefree, he sometimes wishes to see Zhong Yu and Da Yu in trouble.

But the problem is, Huan Yu’s body doesn’t just have Zhong Yu and Da Yu, but also Xiao Yu!

And Xiao Yu is pure and innocent!

Everyone, including Qing Chen, treats Xiao Yu like their own little brother, doting on him. On the battlefield, Zard even has to free a hand to cover Xiao Yu’s eyes, afraid that something might scar him.

Now, if Xiao Yu’s love is ’taken’ because of the Naked Heart Gu, Zard can’t escape the blame.

Zard can bear the pain of love himself, but he won’t let Xiao Yu endure it!

...Well, he can endure it, but not be forced to!

Zard struggles among the Gold Corpses: "Get that Naked Heart Gu out of him quickly, why did you just let him eat it like that?"

Old lady Lian Peng sneered, "Once the snot drips into your mouth, you think of spitting it out? Too late!"

"You really have a sense of humor. What a strange saying," Zard said, "If you keep up that attitude, I’ll have to see you as the villain."

Lian Xin whispered from the side, "Don’t talk like that, she’s my mom."

Zard, held up high by the Gold Corpses, paused for a couple of seconds: "Mom."

Old lady Lian Peng sneered, "Don’t try to get close to me, nothing counts until you’ve swallowed the Naked Heart Gu."

At this moment, Chen Jiazhang looked at Lian Peng and said, "You’ve changed a lot, become bitter. You weren’t like this before."

Only now did Lian Peng look at him with a stern face: "Isn’t it because of you that I’ve become like this? If you hadn’t abandoned your family back then, I wouldn’t have seen the true nature of men. Men are no good."

Zard was silent for a moment: "Mom, let’s not bring feminism into this."

Lian Peng: "You can’t call me Mom!"

Chen Jiazhang: "You can’t call her Mom!"

Lian Peng glared at Chen Jiazhang: "Don’t mimic me!"

Chen Jiazhang: "I wasn’t mimicking you!"

Lian Peng said coldly, "I’ve visited the outside settlements recently, and realized that men out there are all the same, with their sweet talk, marrying beautiful wives, making them cook, have several kids, and take care of their parents. Eventually, when age takes its toll and the wife becomes a hag, the man starts disliking her. Do you think she wants this? She’s forced into it!"

Chen Jiazhang was silent, and indeed felt some guilt.

Lian Peng wasn’t like this back then, she was gentle and considerate. If he said he liked drinking, Lian Peng would brew wine with the tribe.

If he said he wanted to eat rice, Lian Peng and the tribe would plant rice with the Gold Corpses.

Those years, Lian Peng obeyed him completely, as long as he didn’t mention leaving Xiuzhu State, just living well in Xiuzhu State would ensure a happy life.

Back then, in the Lian Tribe, only men voluntarily took the Naked Heart Gu. If you wanted status, you ate, but if not, you wouldn’t starve to death, and no one forced anyone to take it.

Even when Chen Jiazhang had a daughter, he wasn’t fed the Naked Heart Gu.

But after he secretly left, everything changed in the Lian Tribe. Lian Peng wandered lost in Xiuzhu State looking for him for a whole year before she came to terms with reality.

Since then, any man wanting to marry within the Lian Tribe has to take the Naked Heart Gu. If a woman falls for someone, she can just take him and feed him the Naked Heart Gu.

It’s fair to say, every struggle the men endure in Xiuzhu State is essentially because of Chen Jiazhang.

Chen Jiazhang felt guilty, but he still insisted, "You’ve become too extreme now."

Lian Peng walked toward the village: "You have no right to judge me. I understand your desire to explore. I’ve gradually understood what kind of organization you Knights are. I understand, but since you knew you’d eventually leave, why stop in Xiuzhu State? Why have Lian Xin with me?"

Zard said, "Yeah, if you weren’t planning to stay and take responsibility, why trick her into having kids?"

Chen Jiazhang: "?"

Zard realized that the father-in-law’s words didn’t count, and to be with Lian Xin, he needed the mother-in-law’s approval.

Everyone carried Zard, Huan Yu, and Chen Jiazhang slowly towards the village.

Zard felt like he had fallen into a tribe of cannibals, and the bonfires burning in the village were all ready to roast them...

Too primitive.

After entering the village, Zard and Huan Yu were separated quite far. He took the chance to quietly ask Lian Xin, "Is the Naked Heart Gu really irreversible?"

"Yes," Lian Xin nodded, "Once the Naked Heart Gu dissolves, it turns into energy, intertwining with your fate. You’ll slowly develop feelings and from then on, only love one person."

Lian Xin sat by the bonfire, while Zard was watched by many men with jealous eyes. Given Lian Xin is the tribal leader and the most beautiful woman in the entire Lian Tribe, it’s natural that many coveted her.

If someone married Lian Xin and took the Naked Heart Gu, they would naturally become deputy chief of the Lian Tribe, holding a very high status.

Now with Zard causing trouble, many have lost their dreams.

The gathering started, and Zard kept glancing at Huan Yu, looking worried.

Suddenly, Lian Xin asked quietly, "When you tried to escape earlier, was it really because he was very dangerous?"

"Of course," Zard sighed, "But you all don’t believe me. You see, I’m so anxious that even my illness is getting better!"

Lian Xin pondered for a long time: "If I am willing to go with you, will you be devoted to me forever?"

"Ah?" Zard was stunned: "What did you say?"

Lian Xin rolled her eyes: "Good words are not spoken twice; pretend I said nothing."

The bonfire party was enthusiastic and lively, everyone was drunk, and almost everyone found their Azhu and Axia for the night.

The little girl Lian Hua didn’t attend the bonfire party, she just sat aside, carefully cradling Huan Yu in her arms, using a damp handkerchief to wipe away the dust on Huan Yu’s face.

However, it was at this moment that someone suddenly looked in Huan Yu’s direction: "Eh, he woke up! He opened his eyes!"

It was seen that Huan Yu got up, rubbed his head, curiously surveying the surroundings, without uttering a word.

Lian Hua said joyfully, "You’re awake!"

Huan Yu ignored her and instead slowly stood up, first looking at the Gold Corpse, then scanning everyone present: "It’s a really interesting place, hehe."

Zard’s whole body tensed up, tightly shielding Lian Xin behind him as though facing a great enemy.

It’s Zhong Yu indeed!

It’s really Zhong Yu!

Zard was anxious; among all present, only he had truly interacted with Zhong Yu, naturally knowing what kind of character the other possessed.

Before he could say anything, he saw the just-approached Lian Hua unexpectedly being lifted into the air by a hand formed from a dark red shadow.

That hand was as large as a truck tire, covered in black vein-like lines, and knotted tendons entwined.

Lian Hua was caught off guard by this sudden change, seized by the waist, her face flushed red.

A manifestation-type awakening, Scarlet Hand!

The Lian People, who had just drunk, suddenly sobered up; they rushed to control the corpses to meet the enemy, attempting to rescue Lian Hua.

However, hundreds of Copper Corpses, Silver Corpses, and Gold Corpses charged forward, only for an equal number of Scarlet Hands to materialize in the night and firelight, firmly holding all the corpses in place.

The Lian People’s bodies who attempted to rush in were then struck by the Scarlet Hands with thunderous force.

Amidst intense murderous intent, not a single person could approach Zhong Yu within ten steps; each Lian Person flew backward, their organs burning fiercely.

As the character switched to Zhong Yu, Zard and Lian Xin noticed the change in his eyes.

No whites remained; the eyes only held deep blackness.

As if not human anymore.

The most ruthless thing was Zhong Yu’s every strike was extremely precise, and everyone hit by his Scarlet Hand did not die but completely lost their ability to fight.

The terrifying Scarlet Hand seemed endless, even if ten thousand people came, none could do anything to him.

Zhong Yu glanced around the village with interest, and when he spotted Zard, he smiled and said: "Long time no see, little Zard. By the way, does Xiao Yu miss me?"

Though Zard was unwilling to admit it, he honestly acknowledged: "Xiao Yu misses you, but he hopes you can be more cheerful."

Zhong Yu sneered: "I’m already quite cheerful now, hehe. Today I won’t make things difficult for you; does the girl behind you have any relation to you? If she does, I won’t kill her."

Zard gravely replied: "You cannot kill anyone here."

"Oh?" Zhong Yu strolled through the village: "Is there anyone in this world who can order me around? Sparing your life is for Xiao Yu’s sake... Oh right, what’s the deal with these corpses? They look so cute, like perfect artworks."

This Zhong Yu didn’t even have a clear personality; Xiao Yu retained all innocence and light, whereas he was a collection of all darkness, with no one able to heal him.

Zard said: "It’s the Lian People’s cultivation heritage."

Zhong Yu chuckled: "Finally found something interesting, though I can’t use my abilities much. I wonder if retraining this thing would have an impact. Tell me, who controls the corpse-making heritage? I want to make everyone here into zombies to play with. No, if I could turn the entire Federation’s people into zombies, wouldn’t that be fun? Then I’d open a wax museum, and you’d all be my prized waxworks."

Every Lian Person’s expression changed; this individual crushed them utterly from the start, without any ability to resist. Even the Gold Corpse was tightly clutched by the Scarlet Hand, unable to move.

Now, this person was threatening to turn them all into zombies!

Lian Xin finally realized what truly motivated Zard to escape and avoid bringing such danger into the village; she had wronged him!

Zard said: "Xiao Yu knows what you’re planning, it will make him unhappy!"

Zhong Yu’s footsteps hesitated for a moment: "No matter, as long as the child doesn’t find out. Oh, what about Chen Yu from the Inner World; has he done anything lately, like uniting the Chen Clan?"

"No."

"Useless," Zhong Yu sneered: "Can’t even accomplish such a small thing; how does he deserve to possess my body?"

Zard seriously said: "It’s not your body; it’s Xiao Yu’s."

"It doesn’t matter," Zhong Yu ambled amongst the crowd, eventually stopping before Lian Hua: "Let’s start with you then, tell me how to make zombies, or I will kill you and all your people."

Lian Hua turned her head away, tears uncontrollably flowing down, sparkling in the firelight.

No one spoke, the Naked Heart Gu is not omnipotent; it’s not a control-type tool, only inducing emotions.

Therefore, Lian Hua couldn’t control what Zhong Yu did or didn’t do. There are countless examples of lovers killing their beloved, so if Zhong Yu truly wanted to kill Lian Hua, he could.

But Lian Hua knew one thing, the Naked Heart Gu causes both parties to live and die together, if Zhong Yu killed her now, he would die too!

Thus, Lian Hua made her choice, saying nothing, wishing for this evil Awakener to perish with her, as a pair of doomed lovers.

However, just when Zhong Yu impatiently prepared to cruelly destroy the flower, he suddenly murmured to himself in a strange manner: "...Why do I feel heartbroken seeing you cry?"
