Chapter 91
“Since you are currently suffering from a burn status, your attack power has decreased. Yun Youyou has successfully evaded your strike, and it is still her turn to attack!”
A chorus of jeers erupted from the surrounding Rotten Corpses.
Yun Youyou pressed her advantage.
“If I were to unleash the technique ‘Woman, You Can’t Escape My Inescapable Net,’ may I ask how my opponent intends to counter?”
Wang Yuanyou shouted, “Wow! That’s contestant Youyou’s signature move! Let’s see what choice her opponent makes!”
The Rotten Corpse, having suffered a string of defeats, looked even more hideous than before.
“I’ll sink beneath the water to dodge the attack, then use my sharp teeth to bite off her leg!”
Yun Youyou remained calm and unhurried.
“I choose to use the technique ‘Domineering CEO’s Substitute: White Moonlight’s Feigned Death.'”
Wang Yuanyou said regretfully, “Since contestant Youyou used a substitute attack, the opponent’s strike is nullified! Youyou’s research into the ‘Domineering CEO’ trope is truly profound. It’s simply admirable!”
The battle had reached a fever pitch.
Yun Youyou decided to unleash her finishing move.
“Ultimate Greasy Move: Girl, Your Eyes Can’t Lie!”
Wang Yuanyou cried out in shock.
“Incredible! Contestant Youyou’s strength is truly formidable! This move has insta-killed countless opponents; it is the ultimate finishing blow!”
The Mutt Rotten Corpse had never heard of such things and couldn’t find a comeback at all.
“I… I… I…”
Wang Yuanyou began the countdown at its side.
“Three! Two! One!”
“The opponent is out! Contestant Youyou successfully K.O.’d her opponent with that final greasy move! I hereby declare today’s winner to be contestant Youyou!”
Wang Yuanyou and Tao Jinran cheered wildly.
Their hands were tied, so they could only stomp their feet frantically on the ground to celebrate for Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou raised her hand nonchalantly.
“A minor achievement, hardly worth mentioning.”
The Mutt Rotten Corpse’s face turned even uglier.
Not only had it lost the match in a baffling manner, but it also had to endure the contemptuous glares of its companions.
This was the scene Ji Lin walked into when he emerged from the Secret Passage.
Ji Lin: “…”
While walking through the Secret Passage, although he couldn’t see the images, he had heard every word spoken inside clearly.
Ji Lin’s expression remained indifferent, but his mind was filled with ten thousand questions.
He even began to wonder if he had been poisoned. Was this the kind of stuff a living creature in this world could come up with?
Seeing Yun Youyou and the others cheering, the Mutt Rotten Corpse finally snapped.
The fangs in its mouth suddenly surged, growing dozens of centimeters long.
Die!
They all had to die!
Ji Lin’s psyche had taken a massive hit, but his combat instincts were still sharp.
A razor-thin thread shot out, piercing through several Rotten Corpses in a single line.
The Rotten Corpses didn’t even have time to dodge before mists of blood exploded in the air.
The Mutt Rotten Corpse closest to Yun Youyou was naturally among them.
Yun Youyou was sprayed with a face full of foul-smelling blood.
She wiped her face helplessly.
When she got back, she would have to soak in a fragrant bathtub for forty-nine days straight!
Seeing Ji Lin, Wang Yuanyou immediately began wriggling on the ground like a maggot in excitement.
“Ji Lin! You are my god!!”
Ji Lin took a moment out of his busy schedule to glare at him.
Wang Yuanyou didn’t care and continued to shout at the top of his lungs, “Ji Lin, Ji Lin, you’re the best! Ji Lin, Ji Lin, you’re the strongest!”
Sensing the arrival of a powerful enemy, the Rotten Corpses in the Blood Pool began crawling out one by one.
“Holy crap! Stay away from me!”
Wang Yuanyou hadn’t expected them to climb out of the pool; he was so startled he nearly jumped right off the ground.
Yun Youyou might not have been as powerful as Ji Lin, but she was certainly devious!
Controlling her tentacles, she stealthily stretched a line across the path the Rotten Corpses had to take.
Every single Rotten Corpse that passed through was tripped without exception.
Before they could even scramble back up, they were transformed into bursts of bloody mist.
In an instant, the ground was littered with corpses, and the walls and floor were covered in shocking amounts of blood.
Yun Youyou manipulated her tentacles from a corner, tripping one Rotten Corpse after another.
It was a bit of a dirty trick, but it was highly effective.
Before long, the Zombies that had crawled out of the pool were completely wiped out.
Yun Youyou kneaded her sore shoulders. “Finally, mission accomplished.”
“Hurry up and untie me!”
Wang Yuanyou was still wriggling on the ground.
Yun Youyou rushed over to help Tao Jinran untie the hemp ropes binding her.
As for Wang Yuanyou, Ji Lin handled him.
With a wave of Ji Lin’s hand, the sharp sword lying on the ground flew toward Wang Yuanyou.
Wang Yuanyou: !!!
The blade sliced through the rope, stopping just millimeters away from cutting his skin.
Wang Yuanyou clutched his chest in terror.
That nearly scared the life out of him!
Yun Youyou’s dress was still dripping blood onto the floor, and her face was covered in dried clots. The sticky sensation made her frown uncomfortably.
“Clean yourself up.”
Ji Lin pulled a plain white handkerchief from his sleeve.
“Thank you.”
Yun Youyou took the handkerchief.
She hadn’t expected Ji Lin to be so considerate.
After wiping herself down, she felt much more refreshed.
Once they stepped outside, Wang Yuanyou took deep gulps of fresh air.
The smell inside that Secret Passage was absolutely revolting.
Though the others didn’t say anything, their expressions brightened considerably.
“What on earth were those things back there?”
Wang Yuanyou stood with his hands on his hips, looking back at the Secret Passage with lingering fear.
If Ji Lin hadn’t been there, they might have lost their lives today.
Wang Yuanyou stared at Yun Youyou curiously.
“Aren’t you a ghost? Why didn’t they even spare a fellow ghost like you?”
Yun Youyou shook her head with an air of mystery.
“You wouldn’t understand. The world of ghosts and monsters isn’t as simple as the human world.”
Wang Yuanyou sounded puzzled. “Aren’t ghosts just people who died?”
“Enough. Stop talking nonsense.”
Ji Lin glanced at Yun Youyou briefly before grabbing Wang Yuanyou and leading him away.
“Hey, hey, hey! Why are you in such a rush! I haven’t finished talking yet!”
Once their figures disappeared behind the door, Yun Youyou immediately called out, “Water, water, water! Get some water ready quickly, I need a bath.”
Coming out of that Blood Pool had left her feeling sticky all over; the discomfort was driving her crazy.
It wasn’t until she soaked in the bath barrel that Yun Youyou finally relaxed.
She washed herself five times before she finally felt somewhat clean.
After a long, exhausting day, Yun Youyou hugged her pillow and lay comfortably on the bed.
Suddenly, a fluffy head popped up beside her.
Tao Jinran, clutching her own pillow, said shyly, “I’m too scared to sleep alone. Can I sleep with you tonight?”
Tao Jinran blinked at Yun Youyou, using her eyes to launch a cute offensive.
“Of course.”
Yun Youyou hugged her blanket and shifted inward to make room.
Tao Jinran hopped onto the bed happily.
The bed had a pleasant fragrance.
Tao Jinran took a deep breath, her bright eyes blinking in the darkness.
“This is the first time I’ve ever shared a bed with a ghost, but why do I feel so happy?”
