Chapter 83: Corpse Transformation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before Shen Chun could find an excuse to refuse, she was stimulated by a strong and pungent fragrance. She couldn’t help but sneeze.
Although Shen Chun had smelled this as soon as she entered, she could at least tolerate it. Why did the smell suddenly become so strong? It was useless even if she pinched her nose.
Shen Chun stood up and walked to the opposite corner to stay far away from Ru Chi. Then, she complained, “What brand of perfume are you wearing? Could it be a cheap perfume?”
A trace of panic flashed across Ru Chi’s eyes and placed her hand on her waist, as if she was hiding something. She even stuttered a little, “In order to hide the corpse aura on Ah Zui, I sprayed a little too much.”
Shen Chun sized him up. “Is that so?”
Did Ru Chi think that she would believe her excuse?
Offering sacrifices to a dead person would cause irreversible damage to one no matter what level of ritual it was, especially since Ru Chi had sacrificed for so long.
What if…
Shen Chun thought of Ru Chi’s frightened expression and this exceptionally rich fragrance.
She suddenly thought of something and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes. “What did you do to yourself?”
Ru Chi turned her face away arrogantly. “It’s none of your business.”
Shen Chun sighed helplessly. “Then I won’t interfere in your business either.”
Ru Chi was at a loss for words and was a little angry. “You!”
Shen Chun took the opportunity to chant the Eye Opening Incantation. A golden light flashed and she saw the rotten flesh on Ru Chi’s waist.
“You…”
Ru Chi seemed to have sensed Shen Chun’s abnormality. The moment she saw her eyes, she realized that she couldn’t hide it anymore, so she didn’t speak.
Seeing that Ru Chi wanted to escape, Shen Chun said, ���Your body is starting to rot too? In order to find sacrifices to protect his corpse and survive until that day…”
Ru Chi wanted to stop Shen Chun from continuing and berated, “Shut up! What happens to me has nothing to do with you! You just have to do as I say and pull his ghost back from hell.”
Shen Chun continued as if she didn’t hear Ru Chi’s words. “You’re no longer a human or a ghost. If this continues, you and him will become zombies living in coffins!”
“In order to achieve my goal, I’m willing to do anything.” Ru Chi placed her hand behind her back and suddenly took out a knife. Then, she pressed it against Shen Chun’s neck and threatened, “Help me now!”
The normal temperature of the human body was 36°C. When the cold blade pressed against Shen Chun’s neck, it made her tremble instinctively. “You have to be careful. It’s a small matter if you cut me, but if I lose my life, you won’t be able to await a next helper for hundreds of years.”
Ru Chi was indifferent to Shen Chun’s words.
Didn’t the Netherworld need to control black magic practitioners like Ru Chi, who had lived for countless years and sacrificed countless sacrifices and was about to turn into a corpse?
Shen Chun decided to stall for time.
She couldn’t let Ru Chi keep thinking about sacrificing others.
She waved her hand and pretended to surrender. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll help you now.”
Hearing this, Ru Chi relaxed a little. “Really?”
Shen Chun shrugged nonchalantly. “It’s fine if you don’t believe me.”
After Ru Chi stared at Shen Chun for a while, she retracted her gaze and put away the weapon in her hand. “Then let’s begin.”
Shen Chun wiped the place where Ru Chi had touched her with the knife. There was a slight pain when her finger brushed past it. When she looked at the blood on her index finger, she realized that it was bleeding.
After she glanced around the room and saw that it was empty, she turned around and asked Ru Chi, “Do you have any yellow paper, candles, cinnabar, and so on?”
Ru Chi shook her head. “I don’t draw any talismans. I have candles, but I don’t have yellow paper or cinnabar.”
Shen Chun looked at Ru Chi in shock. “You waited for me for so long, so you must have known that I was coming. Why didn’t you prepare what I needed in advance?”
Ru Chi widened her eyes and looked at Shen Chun with confusion.. Then, she said a little angrily, “Why would I prepare these in advance? Who knows if you’ll help me or not?”
