My Co-renting Lady Boss

Chapter 2005: Chapter 2001: The Three Battles with Bai Gu

Zhang Baobao frowned in confusion and said depressively, "I remember I was first dug up by some tomb robbers. They thought I was a ghost and, while I was dazed, killed me on the spot. After they left, I was resurrected for the second time and realized I’m different from ordinary people.

Later, I crawled out of the tomb and started wandering. Because of the immortality, I would only stay in one place for a maximum of five years before moving elsewhere, otherwise, people would think I was a fairy."

"Do you remember which dynasty it was when you woke up?"

Tang Ming hurriedly asked.

"It’s been too long, I don’t remember. I only remember during that time I wasn’t very skilled, had an encounter with some monks, was killed three times, and buried several times."

Zhang Baobao rubbed his head and said depressively, "I only found out a few years ago from the Four Great Classical Novels that someone turned those events into stories."

"Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon?"

Tang Ming stared wide-eyed, almost dropping his jaw.

"Baobao Sis woke up for the first time during the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Chuming quickly explained, "Later as the world merged, Baobao Sis hadn’t seen foreigners yet, so she wanted to go out to see the world and ended up in North Africa, where she inexplicably became the Undying Soldier King."

"I wandered around outside, found it meaningless, and returned home to bury myself, planning to sleep.

But then I was inexplicably dug up by people from the God and Ghost Sect. Seeing they were decent, I stayed with them."

Zhang Baobao said with a cheerful grin, "At least they don’t get surprised by my immortality and instead treat me as a distinguished guest, which makes me very happy."

"It’s a lot to digest, let me think about it."

Tang Ming rubbed his forehead, feeling these matters were too incredible, but finally understood why Zhang Baobao liked burying people so much, and her technique was quite professional. She’s truly experienced, going crazy even burying herself; who dares to provoke her!

"Don’t even start about Baobao, the things about her could take years to tell."

Zhang Chuming shook his head, looking worriedly at Tang Ming, "The current problem is what Hua Luojie is researching, which is terrifying, and Hua Luoying serves as a living example. If he succeeds, the world will fall into chaos."

"Didn’t Baobao say 越人 can’t be mass-produced? So what exactly is Hua Luojie researching?"

Tang Ming grumbled in confusion.

"According to Baobao and my analysis, although what Hua Luojie researches can’t create 越人, it does have a method to determine whether a person has 越人 potential through certain means.

Maybe Hua Luojie himself isn’t aware his research can’t create 越人, but he can awaken Xi Luoying’s Spirit Demon while he’s undying, and that’s already very frightening."

Zhang Chuming narrowed his eyes fearfully and said, "Our God and Ghost Sect specializes in researching ghost and divine souls, but we have no way to detect via soul means whether a person is 越人."

"If it can’t be mass-produced, then it shouldn’t pose a big threat?"

Ruisi mumbled uncertainly.

"The threat is not small!"

Zhang Chuming shook his head seriously, "As Baobao Sis said, 越人 are so rare because the awakening conditions are stringent.

Out of a billion people, there might be only ten 越人, yet the chances of them being discovered and awakened might be less than one. But if Hua Yingjie truly develops technology to check for 越人 physique, just finding a few dozen of these entities would be enough to dominate the world, so we must stop the Hua brothers from continuing."

"Is there really no way to kill 越人?"

Tang Ming asked defiantly.

"Usually, there’s no way to kill 越人 unless you can destroy them completely."

Zhang Baobao touched his chin and said with resignation, "I once thought about ending my life but couldn’t succeed despite trying everything. Helplessly, I buried myself to sleep."

"Completely erase a person, there should be many ways, right? Like burning to ashes, using drugs to dissolve..."

Tang Ming listed a string of methods.

"You’re quite clever, sounds good indeed."

Zhang Baobao clapped excitedly, "But I don’t want to die now."

"Baobao Sis, don’t mess around, we weren’t talking about you."

Zhang Chuming quickly pulled Zhang Baobao back, looking helplessly at Tang Ming, "Those methods you mentioned are indeed feasible, but in this situation, there’s no way to use them on Xi Luoying. On one hand, he’s protected by M Country officials and the Heavenly Wolf Palace, and on the other hand..."

"Heavenly Wolf Palace? What’s the connection with the Heavenly Wolf Palace?"

Tang Ming looked at Zhang Chuming with surprise.

"Didn’t you know the expert you fought against was from the Heavenly Wolf Palace?"

Zhang Chuming looked blankly at Tang Ming.

"I only know he’s the world’s top-ranked assassin, didn’t know he’s from the Heavenly Wolf Palace."

Tang Ming blinked, feeling like everything was intertwined.

"That’s just one of his identities overseas. In the country, he’s known as Ye Xunhuan, who was notoriously a flower-picking thief in the martial arts world.

It’s said he provoked Yun Potian’s woman, resulting in Yun Potian cutting off three of his fingers and abolishing him below, forcing him overseas and later joining the Heavenly Wolf Palace, becoming renowned overseas as an assassin."

Zhang Chuming rolled his eyes speechlessly at Tang Ming, "Third brother, you dare cause trouble here without knowing anything about the situation, do you think you’re undying?"

"Hehe! Maybe if we act, we might really confirm whether he’s a 越人."

Zhang Baobao giggled sinisterly.

"I..."

Tang Ming was speechless, indeed lacking in information. No wonder the left hand hated Yun Potian bitterly—turns out it’s not just about fingers; the below was abolished too, which for a man is a great humiliation.

"The Heavenly Wolf Palace’s international influence is significant because they control Eastern Kingdom’s martial arts strength. So many countries are willing to cooperate with them, and M Country is their staunch ally.

This time, the Hua brothers ended up in M Country because of the Heavenly Wolf Palace’s efforts, so to stop Hua Luojie, killing Xi Luoying means not only dealing with M Country officials but also guarding against Heavenly Wolf Palace’s experts."

Zhang Chuming sighed helplessly, "If it weren’t for the difficulties, neither Baobao Sis nor I would have been dormant for so long."

"So what do we do now?"

Tang Ming frowned tightly while looking at Zhang Chuming and Zhang Baobao, "This time to save me, Baobao revealed the God of Pit, and the Hua brothers will definitely associate it with 越人—you might endanger yourselves."

"So when we saved you, we only revealed the God of Pit—neither Baobao Sis nor I showed up."

Zhang Chuming grinned mischievously, "Third brother, I think you’re the savior to stop this calamity!"
