Later, she finally became pregnant. It was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but unexpectedly, she suffered a massive hemorrhage on the day of delivery right after the child was born. When the master of the house waiting outside heard that she had given birth to a daughter, he flew into a rage. He refused to have her treated, and she breathed her last that very day without even getting to hold her baby girl.
Even so, they still turned her into a Coffin Lady. Their reasoning was that since she had married into their family, she was their person in life and their ghost in death.
The team members sighed endlessly as they listened. Fang Zhiyi, who had come over at some unknown point, unceremoniously smacked her on the head and said, "Damn it, did I kill you? Did I nail you into that coffin? Seek your revenge if you must, but don't bite at random targets!"
The female corpse held her head with a miserable expression. "I am not seeking revenge. They have all been dead for many years... It has been so long that I do not even remember."
Shen Yue's initial defensiveness also shifted to a look of sympathy. "Hearing that, you are quite pitiful."
"Pitiful my foot! It's not like we killed her!" Fang Zhiyi's face was full of murderous intent. "They messed with you, so you mess with us? What kind of bullshit logic is that!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't dare do it again!" The female corpse hugged her head. She really could not figure out the background of the man in front of her, as he carried the exact same aura as she did.
"Captain, did you... did you set her coffin on fire?" Li Fei pointed to the side with a somewhat blank expression.
Hearing this, the Coffin Lady immediately turned her head, only to see the coffin that had accompanied her for over two hundred years engulfed in raging flames. Her entire face fell.
"So what if I lit it." Fang Zhiyi clapped his hands. "Consider it a lesson for you. This time I burn your coffin, but next time, hmph, being unable to die isn't necessarily a good thing."
Everyone backed away from him a little. They then watched the Coffin Lady frantically bustling around her coffin in a panic. However, she had absolutely no way to put out the fire and could only pace around in circles out of sheer anxiety.
Fang Zhiyi finally felt a bit of satisfaction, but watching the Coffin Lady's actions, he suddenly thought of something.
"Unable to die... that actually is a bit troublesome."
The Coffin Lady tried to extinguish the flames but ended up breaking off a piece of wood that had already burned to charcoal. She clumsily tried to reattach it, but it was to no avail. It was almost unbearable for the others to watch.
"Captain, shall we go?" Shen Yue said. She had suffered too many shocks today. No, she had received more shocks recently than ever before.
Fang Zhiyi suddenly turned back to look at them. After a moment, he shook his head. "I am not leaving. You guys go."
The group was stunned.
"After you go back, report that the former captain Fang Zhiyi was invaded by an anomaly and his whereabouts are unknown. Shen Yue will take over as captain."
"Captain."
"Boss..."
"Stop pretending. You guys probably knew a long time ago, didn't you?" Fang Zhiyi looked at Shen Yue with a meaningful gaze.
Shen Yue bit her lip for a moment before saying, "But you are different, Captain. You are still you... You are not an anomaly."
Li Fei also chimed in, "Yeah! Whoever dares to say you are an anomaly, I'll be the first to tear their mouth open!"
Zhao Lei remained silent.
Zhou Hao looked somewhat at a loss.
They had all actually noticed Fang Zhiyi's abnormalities, especially the fact that he had not eaten normal food for a very long time.
Besides, what normal person could tear the head off an anomaly with their bare hands?
What normal person could take a direct hit from heavenly lightning and still survive?
It was just that everyone had an unspoken understanding. After all, Fang Zhiyi was their most trusted captain. Even if he was an anomaly, he would never be the one to hurt them.
Watching the changing expressions on their faces, Fang Zhiyi smiled. "Alright, it's not like I'm dead. We will meet again in the future. Hurry up and get out of here."
"But... Captain, where are you going?"
Fang Zhiyi looked at the Coffin Lady slumped on the ground, seemingly muttering to himself, "Anomalies can never be completely killed off..."
Shen Yue looked at him in confusion.
Fang Zhiyi turned his head toward them. "Anomalies like her feed on human malice. As long as human malice exists, she will exist forever. This world has already been completely invaded by anomalies... If we want to thoroughly eliminate the scourge of anomalies, there is only one way."
"What is it?"
"Kill all humans." Fang Zhiyi grinned. "Once humanity is extinct, the anomalies will naturally die out too."
Li Fei shuddered. "Boss, you're joking, right?"
Fang Zhiyi glanced at him. "I am not joking. I am merely stating a once-and-for-all method..."
The faces of the group turned somewhat ashen.
Fang Zhiyi just laughed. "Alright, hurry up and get out of here. We will meet again."
Shen Yue grabbed the three men who did not want to leave, nodded at Fang Zhiyi, and bit her lip as she walked away.
From far away, they saw Fang Zhiyi put his arm around the Coffin Lady's shoulder, saying something to her, before heading off in the opposite direction.
"Do you guys think the boss did all this just to hit on that Coffin Lady?" Li Fei suddenly said. "Speaking of which, that anomaly is actually quite pretty when she isn't throwing a fit."
The response he received was a swift kick to the buttocks.
In an abandoned hillside villa, a figure with long, slender limbs flashed by.
Foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corner of this anomaly's mouth.
"Hungry..." It uttered two blurry syllables. A face covered in scales gradually appeared in the candlelight. It had been a long time since any human had come here. Looking at the gloomy environment, the lizard-like anomaly glanced left and right.
It seemed it needed to change its hunting grounds.
Truth be told, this house was its most satisfying nest. The various complex passageways allowed it to appear in places humans would never expect. Even when facing human guardians who possessed weapons capable of harming it, it could use the terrain to its advantage to protect itself.
But now, most humans had retreated into the cities, forcing it to leave this nest in order to fill its stomach.
Its eyes blinked, and its vertical pupils suddenly widened.
Was something moving around inside its nest?
It instantly squeezed into a narrow ventilation duct, its mind filled with thoughts of fresh human flesh. To think someone would actually deliver themselves to its doorstep! A surge of joy welled up within it.
But when it emerged at the entrance porch, it saw no sign of anyone.
"Did I mishear?"
After a brief hesitation, a faint noise sounded again. It sprinted rapidly in that direction, its long, slender limbs supporting its body as it chased after the sound like a giant spider.
Yet it still saw absolutely nothing.
This situation left the lizardman somewhat baffled. Could it be those so-called guardians?
The faint sound of footsteps came from behind it once more. Its body remained perfectly still, but its head abruptly rotated one hundred and eighty degrees backward, its mouth slightly open to reveal a maw full of fangs.
A shadow vanished behind it.
"Stop!" it cried out indistinctly, then continued the pursuit.
But when it turned the corner, it found the area completely empty.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
