The ground was made of hard limestone, but it cracked easily like a mirror. The child who was supposedly immune to most weapons was flattened like a pancake as well.

“Hahaha! Five Spirit Corpses my ass! This is pathetic!”

The big man continued to guffaw as he scanned around the area. “Quit hiding and show yourself already. I know where you are. If you come out now, I promise I won’t desecrate your corpse.”

Inside a secret room, Amorous Mother was hiding with an ugly expression on her face. She did not dare to take even a single breath, not that she needed any since she was a corpse.

To say that Amorous Mother was miffed would be an understatement. By coincidence, the Treasure Appreciation Auction was held very close to her Amorous Mother Palace. So, she rushed back to her domain as soon as the event was over. She had even caught a few juicy snacks along the way for dinner.

However, her butt hadn’t even warmed the stool yet[1] when suddenly, a loud boom had stolen her attention. As it turned out, something had crashed through her roof!

This was no easy feat since her palace was located fifty to sixty meters underground. Not only was it incredibly well hidden, it was also as solid as a rock. The fact that it had stood strong for hundreds of years without weakening even a little was proof of that.

However, something—or more accurately, someone had crashed through her roof. As the saying went, not all creatures who descended from the sky were celestials. They could very well be gods of death as well.

The Amorous Mother Palace was her headquarters, and despite what most people might think, it was actually quite the lively place. There were wulin warriors who threw in their lot with her, zombies and Strangers living in this place. At the top rung, she had three Spirit Masters and eighteen Soulstealer-class zombies. The zombies especially were tough as nails and unafraid of death. She called them her Eighteen Corpse Generals. At the lower rungs, she had hundreds of underlings, servants and flesh food. It was a sizable force to put it mildly.

And yet, the big man had crushed her force almost effortlessly. What were the consequences of letting a tiger into a pen of lambs? That was what had befallen her people.

Her prided Eighteen Corpse Generals and three Spirit Masters? They barely managed to pin down the big man for a couple of exchanges before he tore them all to shreds. The rest only fared worse.

At first, Amorous Mother didn’t think much about the situation. It was because she was sure that she would become the ultimate victor.

The big man was a Half-Step Grandmaster, and so was she. By the time he slew all of her people, he would have expended most of his strength. All she needed to do then was to swoop in and score the kill. If she could refine his body into a zombie, then this loss would be no loss at all. In fact, it would be one of the greatest winnings she had made in her life.

When she thought that the time was right, she went out fully assured of victory. A short while later, she slunk back to her hidey-hole with her tail tucked between her legs.

It wasn’t that she was weak. Her opponent was simply too powerful.

She was a zombie, but the big man’s stamina seemed bottomless. Not only that, he was only growing stronger as time passed. In just a dozen of exchanges, he had found an opportunity to burst one of her arms like a bubble. If she hadn’t reacted decisively and summoned her Five Spirit Corpses to keep the big man busy while she escaped, she would probably be as dead as her people already.

The Five Spirit Corpses were the five children she had shown off at the Treasure Appreciation Auction earlier. They were dead infants, but they inherited her origin corpse qi. It was why she had little trouble refining them into zombies and innate magic. She called them the Five Spirit Corpses.

After several hundred years of nurturing, the Five Spirit Corpses had evolved into Flying Zombies, a.k.a Spirit Masters in terms of human cultivation. Although they lacked the Magia and sentience of a Spirit Master, they possessed a tenacious body and incredible strength. When they worked together, they could keep even a Half-Step Grandmaster on their toes.

However, her Five Spirit Corpses failed to last more than a few exchanges against the big man. Already, four out of five of her Five Spirit Corpses were killed, and the last one was barely hanging on.

The Five Spirit Corpses were connected to her. Every time one died, she would suffer great damage and lose much of her strength. Now that she had lost four of them, she was seriously injured and much, much weaker than she was before.

If she left her secret room now, she would die faster than she could ask, “Why?!” Naturally, she wasn’t leaving no matter what.

She was a corpse anyway, meaning that she did not need to eat or drink like a normal human. If she wanted to, she could just stay hidden for decades or even centuries. She might not be able to defeat her opponent, but she could most definitely outlast him.

“Mm!”

It was at this moment a heart-wrenching pain twisted her guts and elicited a muffled groan from her mouth. She knew it was because her last Spirit Corpse was killed by the big man.

“Hahaha! Found you.”

The next moment, a vicious laugh and an ominous declaration resounded throughout the palace. Despite her condition, Amorous Mother’s heart skipped a bit. Did he hear me groaning? Dammit!

Every second counted. Amorous Mother immediately jumped to her feet, opened the door, and got ready to make a run for it. However, she had only taken two steps when she suddenly stopped in her tracks and really thought about her situation.

Shit! I think he tricked me!

She had specifically built the secret room to be inconspicuous, nigh undetectable, and completely cut off from qi sense and ordinary senses. Forget her muffled groan, she could be singing and dancing inside her secret room, and there was still no way the big man could have detected her.

Besides, she had groaned when she had lost her previous four Spirit Corpses. If the big man really could hear her, then he would’ve barged into her secret room and killed her already. Therefore, he was just tricking her into revealing herself.

Amorous Mother tried to return to her secret room, but of course, it was already too late. The big man was already racing toward her.

“Hahaha! I finally found you, you stupid fool!”

Amorous Mother agreed with the assessment, but she also believed that the fault didn’t lie completely with her. Who would’ve believed that a thick-browed, big-eyed meathead like the big man was really a slick liar?

That was why people said that one should not judge a book by its cover. Pretty or ugly, both were equally undeserving of trust.

Now was not the time to think about such things, however. As the big man pounced toward her like a tiger, Amorous Mother immediately dropped to her knees and begged him in a sweet voice, “Mercy, brother! I surrender! I’ll do anything you want, so please!”

You’re an ugly bastard, and even you know how to trick and lie. Naturally, a pretty woman like me can only do better!

There was no such thing as a beautiful woman who didn’t know how to trick and seduce in this day and age, and Amorous Mother was certain that no man could resist her charm. When the opportunity was right, she would feed on his blood essence and kill him for everything he did.

She waited confidently for the big man to succumb to her beauty, and the next thing she knew, her head was twisted clean off her shoulders.

“Why?”

She couldn’t believe it. Why hadn’t the big man followed the script?

“Why do you look so shocked? You’re the one who said I can do whatever I want, so I did!” The big man laughed harshly while stomping Amorous Mother’s body into bits.

“You bastard…”

Amorous Mother’s eyes rolled to the back of her head, and her consciousness sank forever into darkness. Humanity was too dark and dangerous even for a corpse like her!

“Ahahahahaha!”

The big man clenched his fingers, and Amorous Mother’s head too exploded in a shower of blood and gore. Although his face was dirtied by a splash of blood, gore and brain matter, he continued to laugh like a madman.

“She actually thought she could trick me! Did she seriously think that I, Slaughterer, am stupid? Stupid woman!”

1. And it would never since she’s a cold-blooded corpse. ☜
