Cheng Shi felt he had misunderstood his Lord.
Although He didn't solve the Shuhui Reversal problem, He did solve the divinity problem.
His entire prosperity divinity was truly sealed within his body by His slap, exactly like the lie he had fabricated before.
It's over, now he's truly become Tang Monk.
But it's still good, at least the prosperity aura didn't leak out. With His methods, perhaps no one below the Gods could discover it.
Praise the Boss.
But this feeling... why does it feel so much like giving a treat after a beating?
...
The Trial had been over for a full day, and until dusk arrived, Cheng Shi didn't see anyone on the opposite rooftop.
Where did that energetic young man go?
He had been looking forward to Xie Yang bringing back some new interesting things, but he didn't expect that ever since this person got together with that Fan Tingting, he didn't even show up.
What about the neighborly affection you talked about?
Damn, the Clown is actually me.
Cheng Shi sat on the edge of the rooftop, enjoying his dinner time as usual, and only after finishing all the food in his hand did he finally see Xie Yang appear on the rooftop.
However, his face was a bit grim.
Cheng Shi was instantly amused.
"Hey, encountered any difficulties? Tell me so I can... guide you."
Xie Yang imitated Cheng Shi, plopped down on the edge of the rooftop, and spat with great annoyance.
"It was so hard to finally confirm our relationship with Tingting, we even connected our spaces, and then..."
"Huh? No, wait a minute."
Cheng Shi was stunned, he counted on his fingers.
"You've only known each other for 1, 2, 3, only three days, right? And you're already living together?"
Damn, no wonder he didn't see him. If he could still see him, there'd be a ghost.
Xu Lu licked for three months and couldn't get anywhere, but this Fan Tingting was licked into living together in three days?
Xie Yang didn't seem to care about this at all, he even specifically corrected Cheng Shi's statement:
"To be precise, it was 2 days and 18 hours. I thought I had found the love of my life, but I didn't expect her!!"
Speaking of this, Xie Yang's face turned indignant.
"Well, hurry up and tell me."
Cheng Shi's lower legs, dangling in mid-air, kicked wildly, his expectant expression firm and twisted, like a baboon in heat.
"But I didn't expect her to be someone of an opposing Faith!"
Xie Yang broke down, he shouted angrily:
"She doesn't love me at all!
She was trying to trick me into going over to kill me!
She loves her Faith!
She's a liar! A big liar!!
She profaned pure love!!!"
"...Huh?"
No, you can play like this?
Cheng Shi was bewildered.
A whole melodramatic love story instantly played out in his mind:
Fan Tingting was a follower of silence, and when Xie Yang came to chat her up, she saw through his identity, so she used herself as bait to lure him in, wanting to take the opportunity to kill a follower of an opposing Faith.
But unexpectedly, she was tricked by the seemingly licking-dog Xie Yang.
Watching the fun is one thing, but anyone who says Xie Yang is a fool can only mean they themselves are a fool.
This person is not foolish at all, and is very shrewd.
The fact that he could still come to the rooftop to complain after the two of them connected their spaces already shows that in the conflict of opposing Faiths, he had already won.
As for how he won...
Cheng Shi clicked his teeth, and said with a sigh of emotion, "So you killed her?"
"I didn't kill her!
I just purified my love!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, love cannot be profaned, stains must be removed!"
Cheng Shi nodded frantically, and then asked, "Then, may I be so bold as to ask, is her corpse still there?"
Few people would keep the corpse of their opponent in reality.
But in this unknown confrontation, her opponent was a follower of war.
These war lunatics are best at processing the corpses of their enemies. Whether it's human skin banners or bone pyramids, the followers of war always have a way to make the enemy's corpse continue to serve after Death.
Cheng Shi guessed correctly, Fan Tingting's corpse was indeed hung on the wall by Xie Yang, considered a memorial to his brief love of 2 days and 18 hours.
Xie Yang frowned when he heard Cheng Shi asking about the corpse.
"What do you want to do?"
"I've been passionate about studying necromancy lately, could I, borrow it?"
Xie Yang frowned and pondered for a long time before slowly saying:
"You're a Mage of Death?"
Mage of Death, as the name suggests, a Mage of Death.
Cheng Shi didn't intend to hide it from him, and nodded sincerely.
"Consider it returning a bottle of medicine?"
"Okay, deal?"
Xie Yang hesitated repeatedly, but still refused Cheng Shi's outrageous request, but he offered another solution:
Exchange it for another person's corpse.
Cheng Shi agreed without hesitation.
As for why Xie Yang could provide other people's corpses...
This matter doesn't bear scrutiny, brother.
"Wait, I'll be right back."
Although Xie Yang said he would be right back, it wasn't until the next day that he threw over a male corpse.
The corpse was well preserved, without any damage.
But this was also the strangest thing; there weren't even any wounds on the corpse.
How did this person die?
Cheng Shi knew that Xie Yang had spent the night dealing with the remaining war power on the corpse, but he didn't expose it. Instead, after thanking him in person, he dragged the corpse behind the warehouse.
Immediately after, he took out lelers bone servant ring.
Yes, Cheng Shi was preparing to contact that noble Lord on the Throne.
The "Shuhui Reversal" buff that he had fabricated on himself couldn't be left untreated, but to solve it, he would inevitably need to arrange another Praying Trial.
It's not that Cheng Shi didn't want to fight; to continue living, he had to participate when necessary.
But if there was a way to avoid fighting, he would naturally be happy to do so.
Besides, the work arranged by the Boss had been completed, so he had to report on his work, right?
Don't treat the Boss of a part-time company as not the Boss!
So Cheng Shi righteously used the special effect "The Bone Servant Beneath the Throne" on the corpse.
He just raised his hand slightly, and a pure Death power surged from the ring, enveloping the corpse.
Soon, his flesh and blood turned to dust, leaving only a rough skeleton.
His current appearance was exactly the same as Cheng Shi's when he met Death.
But it wasn't over yet.
That Death power was still lingering on the skeleton. Every time the green light swept over a bone, that bone seemed to gain consciousness, peeling off and jumping from the skeleton by itself, hopping and moving to the side, and together with the other bones, erected a small door made of bones.
The size of the doorway was just enough to accommodate a skull.
...
He still liked skulls so much.
When all the bones in his body had scattered, that Death power finally vanished.
The mouth on the skull opened and closed a few times, rattling, but the sound was different from the skulls in the Fish Bone Hall; it was a clear and crisp male voice.
"Speak! Speak quickly! I need to go back! He is waiting for me!"
The tone was exactly the same, but the voice was probably the original voice of the corpse's owner.
Cheng Shi felt a chill, he stared at the skull hopping up and down on the spot, squatted down, and asked in a low voice:
"Do you have a name?"
"Li Zhi! My name is Li Zhi! Speak quickly! I need to go back!"
Oh, this skull doesn't seem to be an unconscious Death pet.
Cheng Shi became interested, he thought for a moment, and then spoke again:
"Is Xie Yang a follower of war?"
"Who is Xie Yang? Never heard of him! Say something else! Hurry! Faster!"
...
It seems the skull only had a little bit of its own consciousness. Cheng Shi originally wanted to ask in a different way, asking whose follower he was originally, but the words were just about to come out of his mouth when he swallowed them back.
No matter whose follower he was in life, now, he could only be the Bone Servant beneath Death.
"Ahem, listen carefully, I'm going to deliver a message.
Respected Lord:
I have completed another special Trial. Thanks to your great creation, I was fortunate enough to survive.
Praise You.
In this Trial, Leliel also successfully served as a workhorse for You once.
He is atoning for His sins, but You don't need to pay attention; I will handle all of this for You.
However, there was a small accident in this Trial; I got a little something not so pleasant on me.
Although this thing can give me another opportunity to meet You, I think I should urge Leliel more diligently instead of disturbing You.
Therefore, I dare to pray to You here, asking if my next meeting can be postponed a little.
Your devout employee, Cheng Shi."
Cheng Shi would rather die than use the word "follower," so after thinking and thinking, he came up with "employee."
When he finished speaking anxiously, the skull closed its mouth and rushed into the bone door without saying a word.
Li Zhi disappeared.
The skull, along with the bone door, disappeared from the rooftop. Cheng Shi looked at the empty space in front of him and let out a heavy sigh.
"Hopefully it works."
