"It's you, that person just now... Lord Snake Immortal, was indeed quite... handsome." Han Dai carefully examined Yu Rongling with a glance, then kept retreating a few steps, her face then flushed.
Her emotions were quite complex...
A case of a beauty causing disaster, the better-looking the man, the more ruthless they tend to be.
The little zombie demon in my arms had finished a box of sweet milk, and I had just handed the little one a new box, determined never to let her supply run out or develop any thoughts of eating humans.
Then I carried the little zombie demon over to Han Dai, "Han Dai, can you get up by yourself?"
"Yes." Han Dai, supporting herself on the table legs, slowly got up.
She touched her now flat stomach, a look of confusion on her face, "My stomach... why..."
"Because this little one followed you, so your stomach got big. She used a bit of Art, nothing serious." I said to Han Dai.
It seemed Han Dai had only then sluggishly noticed the little girl in my arms with the milk box.
Her eyes, enlarged by cosmetic lenses, were wider than copper bells. The lenses were even sliding out, "What is this thing?"
"A zombie demon." I said.
Upon hearing this, Han Dai nearly fell into a dizzy spell. She steadied herself with the table, swaying for quite some time before she managed to stabilize and not faint again, "She couldn't be... not the stillborn child of Bai Yinman, could she?"
"Yes." I replied.
"Is... is Bai Yinman taking revenge on me? Sending her dead child to kill me!! Just because I dropped this child's corpse??" Han Dai's body shook like a sieve in horror.
Han Dai probably regretted her actions deeply right now, that she should never have dropped Bai Yinman's child.
Though it was merely a corpse.
"Think about it, would a mother turn her own child into an evil spirit to harm others? Impossible," I shook my head, not believing Bai Yinman could do such a thing, "Even someone like you wouldn't do such a thing, let alone Bai Yinman."
Han Dai muttered, "Maybe we were deceived by Bai Yinman's White Lotus side..."
Feeling the chilly gleam in the little zombie demon's eyes, she knew she had spoken out of turn and quickly covered her lips, daring not to speak another word.
"My guess is that someone else is manipulating the little zombie demon, this person wants to harm both you and Bai Yinman," I told Han Dai.
Consolidating all the incidents Han Dai and Bai Yinman had encountered, I smelled a strong scent of conspiracy.
I felt that the whole matter was not simple. To create a zombie demon that could nearly upend human civilization, could this person really just be targeting two minor celebrities?
No wonder Yu Rongling, after looking at Han Dai and calculating carefully, felt that Han Dai's issue involved several lives.
After a long daze, Han Dai finally spoke in a trance: "Someone wants to harm me and Bai Yinman, so... this child... was sent to kill me? This zombie demon wants the lives of me and my baby, right?"
"If the little zombie demon really wanted to kill you, would you still be alive?" I asked calmly.
Han Dai guessed wildly, "Then it must be because someone wanted to make my stomach grow big so I couldn't act."
I sighed, "Your initial guess wasn't wrong; someone wanted this child to kill you, but she didn't make a move."
"What...?" Han Dai seemed to hear something unbelievable.
As I stared into Han Dai's shaken eyes, "This little zombie demon is also pitiful. She's been forced by someone to bind her life force to yours, constantly finding opportunities to hurt you. Making your stomach large and causing you pain was because you bullied her mother, yet she never harmed your life."
"Is this child really that good?" Han Dai appeared embarrassed.
I nodded, "Yes, imagine that. She's like her mother, kind. You have to admit, there are people in this world who, even when forced into evil, will maintain their true nature. You are quite lucky."
Just then, the little zombie demon rubbed her ice-cold face against my collar.
I pinched the nape of her neck lightly; the little creature understood my words.
"Can I know who this person is?" Han Dai swallowed, tentatively asking me.
I shook my head, "How would I know who it is? Don't you know who you have made enemies with? And yet you're asking me."
