How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 518: These People Are Actually Already Dead
She said, "If you have nothing to say, I’m going back."
Tang Peizhong pulled Liu Xu’s hand.
"Xuxu, do you really like Zhao Yu?"
Actually, at this moment, Liu Xu more or less sees Zhao Yu as a close friend, not quite yet a lover.
But after being asked by Tang Peizhong, she decided to just lay it all out there.
"Yes, I do like him. I not only like him, if he doesn’t mind me, I would marry him."
With every word she said, Tang Peizhong’s face turned paler.
Eventually, the color had completely drained from his face.
Pei Shu’er looked on quietly, feeling sorry for her father-in-law.
But he didn’t deserve sympathy.
This Great Yan War God, built like a bear, was actually made to step back by Liu Xu’s retort.
His hand instinctively covered his heart, as if he was truly hurt.
"You... Xuxu, don’t say these things to make me upset. We haven’t divorced; you are still my wife."
Thinking about still being Tang Peizhong’s wife made Liu Xu feel utterly uncomfortable and extremely nauseous.
"No, in my heart, we are divorced."
"In the end, it was my overreach, Liu Xu."
Having said this, she no longer felt like speaking to Tang Peizhong and turned around to leave immediately.
She held her head high, no longer cautious as she had been in the Prince Zhan Mansion.
Seeing Liu Xu so formidable and not at a disadvantage reassured both Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan.
Tang Peizhong stayed in place for a while, and then with bare hands, smashed down a big tree.
Then he thought of something, immediately raised his head, and chased after Liu Xu.
Pei Shu’er spoke softly, "I think it’s useless for my father-in-law to do this; mother’s heart is no longer with him."
Tang Zan remained silent.
Pei Shu’er said, "Let’s go eat; I’m a bit hungry."
The food was ready, with the maid serving it on the table.
Xinyue had been properly settled and upon seeing Pei Shu’er, she walked over.
Then she sat down beside Pei Shu’er.
Tang Zan paused while holding his chopsticks, then continued eating.
Just casting a slightly resentful glance at Pei Shu’er.
He picked a piece of food for Pei Shu’er, "Eat quickly; you’ve become thin."
Pei Shu’er looked at Tang Zan, "I feel like I’ve gained some weight. Recently, I’ve been eating and traveling without doing much physically."
Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Really?"
Pei Shu’er: "..."
She had the distinct feeling that what Tang Zan wanted to say next was, "I’ll make you move later."
No, no, she must have been led astray by Tang Zan. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Tang Zan usually wasn’t like this.
And Xinyue, eating off to the side, felt full even though she had barely eaten.
It was odd.
After finishing, she stood up.
"You guys eat; I’ll head back to my room."
She was currently housed in a standalone courtyard, due to the unique terrain of the Deserted Mountain, where every building had a varying-sized cellar underneath.
But when she returned, she found Lin Shiyao was no longer in the cellar.
Xinyue’s expression turned slightly grim, but she quickly relaxed.
Anyway, Lin Shiyao wouldn’t live much longer; people like her truly were better off dead.
Still, she hurriedly reported the situation to Pei Shu’er.
Pei Shu’er was silent for a while but still sent people to search.
She knew Lin Shiyao was capable of running, but there wasn’t really anywhere to escape to; they couldn’t let her get away, even if there was the smallest possibility.
Meanwhile, Lin Shiyao was coercing some locals of the Deserted Mountain into helping her escape.
These people had already fallen victim to the Corpse Gu.
Due to the invasion of the Poison Gu, she was now unable to walk for long periods.
She harbored deep hatred towards Pei Shu’er and Xinyue; if not for these two, she wouldn’t be in such dire straits.
Now she was all alone, not knowing where to go.
If she returned to the Southern Border, she wouldn’t be able to exact her revenge, being forced to hide away for life.
She abruptly turned her gaze towards the Tazi Camp outside the city walls.
She felt that was probably her only way out.
Also a way to retaliate against Pei Shu’er and Xinyue.
Of course, Pei Shu’er and Xinyue needed to die, especially with the grand gift she left in the Deserted Mountain.
She was now wearing Xinyue’s veil, covering her entire face; otherwise, upon arrival at Tatar, those people would surely fear her.
Upon reaching the Tatar Camp, the guards stopped her.
"Military base, no unauthorized entry, leave now."
Lin Shiyao said, "I am a Witchcraft Master, I want to see your Khan, I can bring you victory in war."
The guards dared not act rashly now and sent someone to report.
After all, the Dada people were almost overwhelmed by those in the Gulan Military Camp.
If they could achieve victory, that would naturally be the best.
Soon, Lin Shiyao was invited inside the Tatar Camp.
Once in the camp, the Khan also looked at Lin Shiyao, asking calmly.
"Can you tell me what makes you so sure you can defeat the people from the Gulan Military Camp?"
After continuous depletion by Tang Zan and Tang Peizhong, the Tatar Camp now had only forty thousand men left, barely hanging on.
Lin Shiyao pointed to the people beside her.
"Khan, what do you make of these people?"
The Khan was unsure, and Lin Shiyao’s lips curled.
"These people are actually dead."
Once she said this, even the Khan was taken aback, Jing Ci and those nearby exchanged looks, instinctively stepping back.
Lin Shiyao laughed with flowers trembling, her voice sweet, making it all the more eerie.
"So, does the Khan and Kedun understand?"
That day, the people in the Tatar Camp began to dig up those previously buried.
Lin Shiyao had once seen a record at Wuyue’s place, noting the key difference between Corpse Gu and other Gu Worms.
This Gu Worm appears vicious but is actually very easy to cultivate.
When raised according to conventional methods, the survival rate is higher; however, it doesn’t reveal the full potential of Corpse Gu.
The true cultivation of Corpse Gu requires bodies.
And by feeding on corpses and poison, it can devour other Gu Worms, with one body yielding forty Gu Worms.
Among these bodies, those that were highly decayed.
Were used to cultivate Corpse Gu, while those that were less decayed became hosts for Corpse Gu to continue fighting.
After seeing the scene of Corpse Gu cultivation, Jing Ci’s face turned pale, looking somewhat nauseated.
Not only Jing Ci, but the other Dazi people turned away to vomit.
Apart from Lin Shiyao, everyone present showed a repulsed expression.
The stench of decay mixed with the smell of Corpse Gu was too much to withstand.
Even for the battle-hardened Dazi.
Killing people is one thing, but even after they’ve been laid to rest, digging up graves.
Even using their bodies to breed insects.
These corpses included the Dazi’s brethren; witnessing their former comrades in such a pitiful state, many felt a pang of sorrow.
Lin Shiyao remained impassive.
"If you want victory, you must overcome the present hardships. You need to employ some unconventional tactics."
