Red Wing Room.

Luo Di sat on an intricately carved ebony chair to rest for a moment.

Lady Linglong was tidying up her exclusive red bed, seemingly preparing to separate them into two independent quilts.

As she tidied up, she explained to Luo Di about the matters concerning corpses.

"The essence of corpse transformation is a change based on the [human body], but your current physique is not human... it's what they call a Hell Great Demon.

Maybe it's for this reason that the corpse transformation stayed on the surface without altering your essence.

This means you've only absorbed the advantages of a zombie without inheriting its corresponding disadvantages... Of course, advantages and disadvantages are interdependent and must coexist to reach a higher level.

But you never intended to become a zombie anyway, so it's quite good as it is now."

Luo Di also examined his own physical state and provided an assessment of the attributes: "Does a zombie's attribute include zombie skin, strength enhancement, and Yin Qi absorption?"

"No... there's only one attribute, [Yin]."

"Yin?"

"Everything in the world is composed of Yin and Yang, but the proportions vary in different things. For example, if a person has a cold constitution, there's an excess of Yin, while eating too much fried food that causes heat signifies an excess of Yang.

Zombies themselves are Supreme Yang Item,

The entire process of corpse transformation is about thoroughly breaking the individual's Yin-Yang balance and long-term fixation on [Yin].

Whether it was when you first arrived at the mansion, and I assigned a maid to prepare the Crow Blood for you, or the Black Wood Coffin and the Yin Soil filled inside your chamber, they are all Yin items. Once you accept these things, your internal balance will gradually tilt towards [Yin]."

"Madame, should your wax oil attribute not be [Yang]?"

"That's right, I'm a very special kind of zombie.

Generally speaking, as a Supreme Yang Item, zombies highly resist anything Yang-related, such as daylight, high temperatures, and fire.

This is why very few can inherit from the Corpse Refining Shop. It's also the reason Mr. Jiang, knowing I had these abilities, married me as soon as possible.

I am one of the rare zombies who can achieve 'Yin Yang Balance.'

The maids active in the Corpse Refining Shop are essentially revived corpses through my wax oil."

"Yin Yang Balance? Am I similar? My Hell attribute is also Yang but could still achieve corpse transformation?"

"Your shell isn't inclined towards Yang but is a Supreme Yang Item.

Even though before becoming a zombie, I had attributes related to candles, I was never as Yang as you. Moreover, as a woman, part of my body naturally harbors a certain portion of Yin.

Realistically, as a Supreme Yang being, you should heavily reject Jiang Mansion, feeling uncomfortable even approaching it.

Any Yin object applied to you should be burned away by Hell, making corpse transformation impossible.

Yet you successfully transformed and easily achieved the existing Yin Yang balance. I don't understand at all... how did you manage it?"

Luo Di himself didn't know the reason. Back then, he tried soaking in the Corpse Oil Pool merely out of curiosity, and there was no mentioned 'rejection' from the lady.

Perhaps due to his past interactions with zombies, he felt no aversion to the sinister aura of the entire Jiang Mansion.

Luo Di tried to analyze the possibilities, "Madame, you said that as a female, a portion of Yin within you allows for smoother acceptance subsequently."

"Yes, but you're male."

"That's not what I mean... I'm wondering if this 'thing' of mine counts as Yin."

Pituitary Mapping,

Film Set,

Luo Di no longer expressed the attribute of Hell Great Demon but instead fully activated the pituitary, the scene of Crystal Lake was rapidly set up, and the two appeared by the lakeside under a cold moon in the night sky.

The cold white moonlight softly shone on the two,

sinister and deadly.

Madame Linglong's expression drastically changed, "You... you haven't transformed at all! You almost achieved Yin Yang balance before coming to the Jiang Mansion.

Your Corner System is Yin, and your Hell System is Yang!

Your former plant evolution constantly balanced the two!"

"Oh, that's right!"

Luo Di also suddenly realized that from a long time ago, he had been striving to make the two systems compatible, ultimately achieving harmony and balance upon his plant's maturity, forming his unique plant.

The lady continued to explain: "Now, you're undergoing corpse transformation to further stabilize this balance, ensuring Hell gets no advantage!

No wonder! You're dual-system, which only pure humans might possess."

"Madame, you haven't yet explained the attributes of a zombie... how does the attribute of [Yin] manifest?"

"As long as you're in a Yin-heavy place, your body will be fully enhanced, including the hardness, strength, regeneration, etc., you mentioned earlier.

If you're in an extremely Yang place, this attribute will be significantly weakened, with almost no enhancement.

But since you can construct a 'reality domain,' you can enjoy this advantage anytime, and it seems you've buried quite a few bodies under this lake."

"Yes, all the 'victims' I beheaded are below."

"A land of Great Yin, excellent! You're practically born a zombie... everyone's in trouble!"

The lady suddenly remembered something, her expression changed to one of difficulty.

"What's wrong?"

"Your flesh, this innate yin-yang balance is much better than I expected. That old undead surely didn't expect you to be such a good candidate. If he finds out, he might go back on his word.

I must say, I'm drooling over it."

Lady Linglong lightly wiped her chin with the back of her hand, the trailing saliva swiftly wiped away.

"Is Mr. Jiang also a yin-yang balanced zombie?"

"Of course! That old undead is detestable, but his talents as a zombie surpass all others.

When he first came to the Corner, he built the Jiang Mansion from scratch and established the rule that only monsters of Huaxia bloodline would be accepted. Due to his arrogance, many monsters initially caused trouble, but they were all killed.

You must have seen it, once he moves, thunderclouds form.

Only a Supreme Yang Item like [Thunder] can suppress his yin and achieve an ultimate balance."

Luo Di also asked a question that had been on his mind, "As strong as Mr. Jiang is, did he still encounter something in the Dungeon?"

"No one knows, no one knows what he experienced down there.

Uncle Neck, myself, and all the butlers initially thought he could walk out of the Dungeon, move to deeper layers, who knew he would fail.

And he doesn't discuss it with anyone, after his physical body was annihilated, his temperament changed drastically, and the operations of Jiang Mansion changed.

A large number of house staff were dispatched to find new people, and the resources accumulated by Jiang Mansion over decades began to be used to sustain his life.

Frankly speaking... I have often been waiting for his death. When that time comes, Jiang Mansion will no longer exist, and I can be free, to go outside and see the world."

"But haven't you always been helping, madam?"

"Because when I first came to the Corner, it was Uncle Neck who saved me... However, with this Human Body Exhibition coming, given Jiang Mansion's current condition, it's unlikely to have a good outcome.

By then, I'll likely be buried with everyone else."

The lady couldn't help but look out the window, her eyes losing their luster, and the atmosphere grew heavy.

Just then, Luo Di suddenly took out a small item from his body, a special pendant wrapped in a small Iron Maiden.

"Madam, would you like to see something interesting?"

"What?"

"A relic."

"I know about these, one of humanity's privileges.

Corner Investigators can behead mature monsters and make their pituitary glands into relics. Once made, the investigator's strength can be greatly enhanced.

You had this item, why didn't you use it against Mr. Rose then?"

"My relic is a bit special, I just got it not long ago, it is still growing."

As Luo Di peeled off the Iron Maiden facade, a flesh-red ovum appeared.

Buzz!

The madam seemed to sense a great danger, instantly changing from her elegant posture to a ferocious state, and she crawled onto the roof corner, revealing the zombie's fangs under the red cloth.

"What are you doing, Luo Di! This thing seems like it wants to devour me."

"Indeed, it needs to eat, and it eats monsters. But I've already found it a meal, madam, you needn't worry."

Luo Di gestured, and a huge Iron Maiden rose from the ground.

Inside was a stitched creature brought by Mr. Rose to attack Jiang Mansion, specifically targeting zombies.

"Not many know of this thing, I showed it only because I completely trust you, madam... Let's watch how it devours."

"Hmm..."

Though trusting Luo Di, the madam still instinctively repelled the thing from deep within her soul.

She slowly crawled down from the ceiling, coming behind Luo Di, placing her soft, wax-like right hand gently on Luo Di's shoulder, then peeked out her head covered in red cloth.

Luo Di twisted open the egg's top hand-shaped seal lightly with his fingers.

An air injection hole-like opening appeared,

Seeing this opening, the madam felt her soul seemingly being pulled, and quickly hid her body completely behind Luo Di.

When the suction feeling faded, she slowly peeked out again.

The scene before her made her lift the red cloth, her eyes wide open.

Mist seeped out from the hole, these living mists were actually like arms working on the stitched creature, peeling skin and pulling out bones!

Even though the creature had various colored metals mixed within, they were also dismantled without reservation, sucked completely into the mist.

Thud!

Immediately after,

The madam heard a heartbeat, it seemed this thing was quite satisfied with its meal.

Just as Luo Di was about to twist on the hand-shaped metal cap again, to reseal the relic pendant... whoosh! A small puff of mist sprayed out from the top air hole, quickly drilling into Luo Di's nostrils.

This was not an invasion by the mist, but a medium conveying information.

Information about the stitched creature was actively transmitted to Luo Di, the owner.

"Hmm! Human transmutation!"
