Chapter Eighty-Eight: You Ghost Father!

Leemond's tent and the one he lived in were completely two extremes, the tent he lived in was empty, but Mondmond was full of all kinds of experimental equipment and props, twice as many as when he was in Yoder City, I really don't know where they were moved from.

Beside Li Mengde stood three girls he had never seen before, one was a short-haired girl who was smirking and didn't know what she was laughing at, one was a black straight Lori with a cold face that could almost be compared to Sakiya, and the other was ...... A human with seams all over his body?

No matter how you look at it, Zhou Yao doesn't think that the third person is a human being.

And Lei Ruxue, who he was most concerned about, was not found in the tent, but there was a wooden coffin, I don't know if it was.

"Calm down, calm down, I know what you're trying to say, don't worry." Leemond comforted.

"Okay. I'll listen to you in detail. Zhou Yao also knew that he was a little excited, so he exhaled and calmed down.

"Professor, who is this guy?" At this time, the black long straight Lori in the trio spoke, and unceremoniously asked Li Mengde about Zhou Yao's identity.

"It's rude to say that the person you meet for the first time is 'this guy', hey!"

The girl next to her, who was covered with stitch marks, opened her mouth and scolded, and then greeted Zhou Yao with a smile.

"My name is Zhennu, don't mind Xiuqiao, she just has a bit of a poisonous mouth, and one is ......"

"I'm Luo Xin, and I'm ...... this year One two three four...... I forgot how old I am! Luo Xin, who was still smirking just now, raised her right hand vividly and said.

"I'm Zhou Yao, and she's Sakuya. You can talk about it quickly, what is going on with the corpse, is Ru Xue still saved? ”

Zhou Yao responded simply, and then couldn't wait to move on to the topic. His gaze kept wandering on the coffin.

"Well, I have something to say to him next, so you guys should go back first."

Mondstadt answered, and then said to the trio beside him.

"Yes! What the professor doesn't like, Luo Xin won't do! First of all, Luo Xin raised her voice and took the hands of the other two people and was about to leave.

The folded girl didn't say anything and let Luo Xin pull her, but Xiuqiao showed a little reluctance, but she still left.

In the end, only Li Mengde, Zhou Yao, and Saki Ye were left in the tent.

"Let's talk about it now." Zhou Yao urged.

"Well, come over here." Li Mengde beckoned to Zhou Yao, and walked to the coffin next. Zhou Yao followed closely and also came to the coffin.

The coffin was untied, and a strong cold air spread, Zhou Yao waved his hand and fanned it, and then saw Lei Ruxue's body lying quietly in the coffin.

"Ru Xue......" Zhou Yao's hand gently stroked Lei Ruxue's body, and what was conveyed was a touch as cold as ice.

"The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that her body is still intact, but a piece of heart is missing, otherwise she may need a major operation, and she will end up like a broken girl." After saying that, Lemon closed the coffin to prevent the cold air from leaking out.

"Broken girl? She's really a corpse. Zhou Yao had some vague guesses when he saw it for the first time.

"And Xiuqiao and Luo Xin, all three of them." Lemon corrected.

"All three?!" Zhou Yao was a little shocked this time. The folded girl can still see some of them, but the remaining two people don't look any different from humans.

"The appearance of the general corpse concubine does not look much different from that of humans, and the situation of the broken girl is a bit special, when the corpse is transformed, her corpse has been dismembered." Lemon explained briefly.

"Oh...... You know so well, and you hear them call you professor, maybe you're the professor of the corpse rental company? Zhou Yao was silent for a moment, then reacted, and suddenly realized.

"Well, the outside world calls me a professor, and I've almost forgotten my original name after a long time." That's why he still needs to recall his name when they first met.

"Then Ru Xue can indeed transform into a corpse!" Hearing Li Mengde's admission, Zhou Yao ignited hope, after all, the authorities in the corpse concubine realm said so.

"Of course, as long as it's a woman's corpse, whether it's a human or a Dead Apostle, I can turn it into a corpse. But it's only for corpses, which is why I didn't mention it to you at the time. Lemon explained carefully.

Suddenly, Zhou Yao fell silent, and he had been worried about Lei Ruxue's affairs, which made him ignore the fact that Li Mengde had been hiding his identity and not mentioning the corpse to them.

Now that I think about it, there is nothing wrong with Li Mengde, not to mention that Lei Ruxue was still alive at that time, and he was alive as a dead apostle, the key is that even if Li Meng said that he was a professor, they would not necessarily believe it, and being able to accept Li Mengde's potion was already the limit, telling them that after killing Lei Ruxue, they could be transformed into a corpse? How could it be agreed!

And until now, Zhou Yao didn't know what the corpse was and what was the difference between it and the Dead Apostles. So he asked the question.

"If the Dead Apostles are the 'dead apostles', then the corpse is the 'living corpse', and although they are similar in nature, there are still big differences."

The two sat down in their chairs, and Leemond began to explain.

"The most fundamental difference is that the corpse does not have the urge to suck blood, whether it is transformed by a human corpse or transformed by the corpse of a Dead Apostle, she will not have the urge to suck blood."

"The second is that corpses are only limited to women, and even if you take a male corpse, you can't transform it, and I don't even know why." Mondstadt picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip of it, shrugged his shoulders and said.

"It's a shame that you've been able to figure out how to turn a corpse." Zhou Yao couldn't help complaining.

"Hehe, because my daughter was attacked by the Dead Apostles, I used the potion I gave you to suppress the urge to suck blood, but it was not a long-term solution after all. So I worked experiments, and finally I stumbled upon this solution. Mond Lee smiled lightly, reminiscing about the past.

"So your daughter isn't dead yet?" The last time Mondstad spoke of it, he thought he was dead.

"Of course. Even if I die, I won't let her die. Lemon said proudly.

"Then the three were ...... just now"

"No, my daughter didn't come this time."

At the mention of this, Leemond's face instantly collapsed again, and he seemed to be very devastated by the fact that his daughter did not come.

"Then when will Ru Xue be transformed into a corpse?" In order to improve the atmosphere, Zhou Yao changed the topic.

"Well, some preparation is still needed, it's better to go back to the Central Province and perform the ceremony, and there is one thing that must be told to you in advance." Li Mengde suddenly straightened his face, making Zhou Yao stunned.

"What's the matter?"

"The corpse transformation ceremony needs to establish a contract with the contractor to be considered truly complete, and if a contract is established, then the contractor must fulfill an obligation." At this point, Leemond paused.

"Say whatever you want." Zhou Yao urged.

"The corpse queen needs to replenish her mana regularly to maintain her consciousness, and although she has superior damage tolerance and regeneration, it needs to consume mana, so the contractor must replenish her mana regularly." Leemond said.

"Replenish the Demon...... Is that the mantra? Zhou Yao asked in order to confirm that he didn't misunderstand.

"Which one else is there? Of course, it is through the 'intimate contact' of the body to convey the magic. Li Mengde said in detail, and he almost told Zhou Yao the specific experience.

"Uh...... In other words, if I establish a contract with Ru Xue, I need to replenish the demon regularly? Zhou Yao didn't know how to describe his mood anymore, a little repulsive, a little happy, and more weird.

Is it really because you want to have a bang with a corpse? Even if the object is Lei Ruxue.

"Well, if you just maintain your daily activities and don't consume any additional expenses, about once a month is enough. But if it'......"

Li Mengde didn't speak, and was suddenly interrupted by Zhou Yao.

"Wait, your daughter has made a pact with you, so you ...... You ghost father!!" Zhou Yao showed strong contempt and stood up from his chair to denounce Li Mengde.

Ghost father or something, it's so sad!

"No, no, no! How could I possibly do such a thing! I used the Book of Puppets to transfer the ritual of replenishing demons to others, and I only consumed mana. Lemon became agitated and argued loudly. The panicked appearance makes people think that he is telling the truth.

"The Book of Hypocrites? Hmph, who knows, but those three just now have a direct contract with you, tsk, even little Lori won't let go, you crazy gentleman! Zhou Yao snorted softly, with a look of disbelief and disdain.

Mondsham was completely stunned by his words, and he opened his mouth to defend something more, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Ahem...... Don't mention that, I still haven't finished talking about it just now. ”

Leemond feigned coughing and quickly changed the subject.

"Change the subject? Hmph, I'll let you go, what else? ”

Zhou Yao sat down again, crossed his arms and made a joke.

"Replenishment is a regular and necessary ritual, but if you transform from a Dead Apostle to a Corpse Queen, there will be some side effects."

"What side effects?"

"This kind of corpse has no urge to suck blood, but there will be other impulses of varying degrees, that is, the impulse to replenish demons." In order to suppress the shock, Lemon picked up the cup again and drank the coffee.

"Uh...... Will you become an infatuar? Zhou Yao felt that the whole person was a little bad.

If the contract he established with Ru Xue, would it be the rhythm of day and night?

I don't hate it psychologically, but I guess I can't stand it physically!

For the first time, Zhou Yao hesitated about Lei Ruxue's corpse.
