Chapter 2004: Chapter 2000: Zhang Baobao Is the King of Soldiers
"Hiss! Is Baobao Sis also an undying?"
Tang Ming took a sharp breath, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Why else do you think Baobao Sis heals instantly from serious injuries and has no soul?"
Zhang Chuming gave a peculiar smile.
"That’s true."
Tang Ming frowned slightly, recalling the scene when Zhang Baobao fought with experts at the Rainbow Cloud Peak.
Back then, Zhang Baobao battled various masters repeatedly, yet remained full of energy, even after being injured by the Rainbow Cloud Peak Sect Master, bouncing back instantly, which was indeed abnormal.
"Baobao being a Yue person has always been our God and Ghost Sect’s top secret. If it wasn’t for seeing you in danger this time, I wouldn’t have intervened."
Zhang Chuming sighed helplessly, "Since you’ve encountered Hua Luoying, it’s okay to let you know, but you must keep it a secret for me."
"Don’t worry, you guys saved my life, I won’t betray you."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly.
"Let’s find a safer place to talk. If someone tracks us here, it could be troublesome."
Zhang Chuming looked around cautiously.
"Okay, let’s go to my friend’s place."
Tang Ming promptly led the way.
Zhang Baobao collected the white creature and followed Tang Ming with Zhang Chuming, quickly leaving the park.
Deep into the night!
In Ruisi’s castle study, Tang Ming introduced Ruisi to Zhang Chuming and Zhang Baobao.
"Wow! Third Brother, you sure are something with women, you even have a foreigner sister-in-law, impressive!"
Zhang Chuming stood there, looking at Tang Ming and Ruisi with amazement and envy.
"Don’t talk nonsense! Ruisi and I share a life and death bond, there’s nothing I need to hide from her."
Tang Ming glared at Zhang Chuming and then looked at Zhang Baobao playing on the sofa with Little Red: "Quick, tell me what’s going on with this Yue person thing? Why did you all come here?"
"I’m really curious, I didn’t expect things to get so bizarre."
Ruisi poured water for Zhang Chuming and Tang Ming while eyeing them expectantly.
"Thank you, sis-in-law."
Zhang Chuming thanked her hurriedly, then his expression grew solemn: "Have you heard of the undying soldier king on the North Africa battlefield seventeen years ago?"
"Is it related to him again?"
Tang Ming became puzzled and drank some water to calm down.
"That legendary undying soldier king is Baobao Sis."
Zhang Chuming spoke shockingly.
"Pfft!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Ming spat out the water he had just drunk.
"The undying soldier king is a woman?"
Ruisi was also stunned, the news was too explosive.
"Who says a soldier king can’t be a woman?"
Zhang Chuming rolled his eyes.
"But that’s not right! Seventeen years ago, Baobao should have been a little girl, how could she be a soldier king?"
Tang Ming frowned in confusion.
"No, no, no, seventeen years ago she looked just like she does now, and even seventeen years from now, she’ll look the same!"
Zhang Chuming gave a peculiar smile and explained: "Back then, Baobao Sis wasn’t part of our God and Ghost Sect. According to her, she woke up from a long sleep, we don’t know for how long, but she’s lived a very long time."
"Immortality?"
Tang Ming and Ruisi exclaimed again.
"Yes! I’m eighteen this year; I met Baobao when I was about three. She watched me grow up."
Zhang Chuming nodded, looking at Zhang Baobao with a complex expression: "I grew from a child to where I am now, while Baobao hasn’t changed at all, it’s actually quite terrifying when I think about it."
"I also find it scary, is it because Baobao is a Yue person that she’s like this?"
Tang Ming swallowed nervously, uncertainly asking Zhang Chuming.
"Yes! That’s the frightening aspect of the Yue people; in fact, it wasn’t the God and Ghost Sect that invented them, there are historical records about them."
Zhang Chuming nodded, "With the development of technology, the world is becoming integrated, and some people in our country have studied related things, calling these undying and immortal beings sub-humans, but such beings are very rare, so there’s been no relevant research conclusion.
But unexpectedly, the genius Hua Luojie was deeply fascinated by it from a young age and made groundbreaking progress, which is Hua Luoying, whom Third Brother met."
"Darn! Are you saying Hua Luojie transformed Hua Luoying into a Yue person, and now he researches how to mass-produce Yue people?"
Sweat dripped from Tang Ming’s forehead.
Zhou Xiong originally just said Hua Luojie was researching the undying soldier king, but didn’t mention that it could achieve immortality!
If he really succeeded, creating a legion of undying and ageless creatures, the world would eventually be dominated by Yue people, after all, they are undying!
"That’s impossible."
At that moment, Zhang Baobao walked over.
"Little Red, what are you doing?"
Zhang Chuming looked up and saw Little Red lying on Zhang Baobao’s chest, groping around: "Third Brother, control your son, isn’t this being a hooligan?"
"Why are you quarreling with a child?"
Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Zhang Chuming, then looked up at Zhang Baobao: "Baobao Sis, why do you say it’s impossible? What’s impossible?"
"Hua Luoying couldn’t be a Yue person made by Hua Luojie, at most, it’s just awakening guidance."
Zhang Baobao cuddled Little Red and sat beside Zhang Chuming, confidently saying: "To determine if someone is a Yue person, there’s only one way, and that’s to die once, and even that has its nuances."
"Like what?"
Tang Ming and Ruisi looked at Feng Baobao curiously.
"For example... the timing of the first death is indeterminable, but it can be ensured that the first death involves a prolonged period of death, possibly days, possibly years."
Zhang Baobao tilted her head uncertainly: "I feel there are many Yue people in this world, but most of them truly died during the first death, either cremated to ashes or buried underground, it’s worse than death.
Before the spirit demon awakens, Yue people are no different than ordinary people. Only after the spirit demon awakens do they possess the ability for regeneration and immortality, and the spirit demon only awakens after death."
"What is a spirit demon?"
Ruisi looked at Ruisi in confusion.
"Is it the black demon Hua Luoying talked about, the thing you summon?"
Tang Ming asked Zhang Baobao, uncertain.
"Yes! My spirit demon is named God of Pit! I came up with the name."
Zhang Baobao smiled proudly.
"Cough, cough, cough, that name, very Baobao Sis-like!"
Tang Ming gave an awkward smile, only Zhang Baobao could think of such a name.
"Actually, back then, I was buried alive, but as to who buried me, I have no idea."
