My Zombie Husband

28. Chapter 28:

Translator: Cash

Cao Pi had not noticed that and felt a little sorry. He looked at the boy who showed signs of distress and said sorry to him, which was rare.

When did the sun rise from the west? Or did Mars hit the Earth? This difficult master actually apologized to him, was he dreaming?

“If you’re really sorry, why don’t you send me away? I don’t think I’m of any use to you guys. I have no money or power. You had to prepare food and offer shelter for me, which only brought extra burden on you. Why do you have to do this?” Xia Mingyu felt that he was being reasonable, and he had no idea why Cao Pi and Cao Cao had to do all of this.

Cao Pi instantly shut up his mercies and unsparingly rejected Xia Mingyu’s proposal. “Send you away? Then why did we put so much effort to bring you here? End of conversation. This is for you. This works better than the previous one.”

Wile he was talking, he threw a bottle of blue-and-white porcelain that filled with medicinal liquor.  Xia Mingyu looked at the beautiful pattern on it. “Are You Sure? Isn’t it because the medicine was expired? How long have you kept this thing? A thousand years?” said Xia Mingyu with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Xia Mingyu for sure saw there were some warmth behind Cao Pi’s plainly-looking face. Cao Pi turned his back and left. “A living person is so problematic. Just wait, I will ask someone to buy it for you.”

Hehe, so it did turn out that it was expired. No wonder he felt more pain after using it… Xia Mingyu put on his robes back, struggled to get up, touched the wall and managed to walk towards to the only pool in the grave. He then removed his clothes and soaked into the pool. The warm water wrapped around his body and soothed a lot of his pain.

This pool was full of hot springs, and fortunately there were hot springs.

Xia Mingyu was really weak, and his whole body was falling apart. If he hadn’t been beaten quite often when he was a child, he might heave already been dead after beaten by Cao Pi. FFS, it’s really torturing!

Looking up at the top of the tomb, the mist covered Xia Mingyu’s eyes. His nose twitched  and muttered, “What should I do? Zhao Yun, I miss you…” At least you were much more gentle. If this continues like this, I’ll be beaten to death by Cao Pi…

Cao Cao, who came to see Cao Pi and Xia Mingyu, suddenly heard this. He narrowed his eyes, “Zhao Yun”?  General Zilong of Shu? They actually knew each other. This is getting more and more interesting.

The hot spring was so comfortable that Xia Mingyu drifted into sleep. Fortunately, Cao Pi returned and used his power to lift him out of the water before he sank to the bottom of the spring.

The sleeping boy looked like the most vulgar water lily, being high above, unworldly, and unstained. Lying still in the water, immersing in his own world.

His pale arms were around his waist, he looked so young but yet he is pretty and coquettish. Nobody can hold it when looking at the innocent look on his face. Cao Pi’s face set and his eyes glazed.

“Mmm, brother, is Master back?” Xia Mingyu was sleepy and had taken Cao Pi for Wangchuan. His tone was relaxed and intimate which almost sounded like he was being mischievous and coquetry. Cao Pi gritted his teeth, threw Xia Mingyu ashore. He then threw the robe and the Yunnan Baiyao plaster over to Xia Mingyu, “Still remember who you are? Wake up.”

Hearing Cao Pi’s voice, the eyes of the confused boy suddenly opened, and then Xia Mingyu put one his clothes in a hurry. Cao Pi snorted coldly, “Put on the medicine before you wear them.”

The boy had to take off his clothes with embarrassment. He put on the plaster under the cover of the water fog. Although the wounds felt better after being in the hot springs, he still couldn’t stop but screeched with pain when the plaster touches the wounds. Cao Xi couldn’t stand listening to it. He turned around and left.

So by the time Xia Mingyu had finished putting on the medicine and his clothes, Cao Pi had already left the pool. He muttered, “he is such a cold person”.

After the bath, the wounds were fine so long as they were not touched. Xia Mingyu was looking for his shoes by the pool with his bare feet for a long time. And he found out that his shoes had been thrown away by Cao Pi. There was only a pair of boots.

Back to the place where they fought. Besides Cao Pi and Cao Cao, the other two people before were also there. They saw Xia Mingyu were coming over, the young man with his left eye blindfolded threw the Night Pearl to him, “Catch it.”

Xia Mingyu caught the Night Pearl, felt it was a little familiar. Although it only has the size of the nail, but he felt he must had seen it somewhere before. The memory flashed in his mind, and Xia Mingyu suddenly remembered that this was the Night Pearl that he saw in the tomb of the Zhao family? Did they also go to the tomb of the Zhao family?

“Where did you get this?” Xia Mingyu’s heart suddenly filled with anger. What was Zhao Yun doing? The tomb has been entered by others twice. Don’t they matter to him? Xia Mingyu had no idea that it had nothing to do with him.

Looking at the angry young man, Xia Houdun didn’t say anything. He pulled the young man over with his hand, then he grabbed Xia Mingyu’s neck. The kylin pendant on Xia Mingyu’s neck was no longer shining, as if it had closed its eyes and did not want to see his master being hurt.

“Let go of me!” Xia Mingyu was also shocked, and he really didn’t understand why the Kylin pendant didn’t work. Xia Houdun turned her head to Cao Cao, “Lord, indeed the Night Pearl can temporarily block the power of the blood jade. Do you want to take out the Spirit now?”

Meanwhile, the black nails on the fingers of his other hand were growing longer and reaching to Xia Mingyu’s head. However, Cao Cao stopped him, “Slow down, let him go.”

Xia Houdun released Xia Mingyu, he fell on the ground, coughing loudly. He was coughing so much that his tears were running down from his eyes. It looked like there was a peach blossom rain in his foggy cat-looking pupils.

Just thinking about it, he realized it must be the pearl’s doing, and Xia Mingyu raised his hand trying to throw it away. Xia Houyuan noticed his small movements and said coldly, “If you throw it away, I’ll kill you now.”

The raising hand paused, he put it back. Xia Mingyu gritted his teeth, even the ultimate security assurance was gone. He didn’t expect himself to live any longer, but just wondering in what way he would die. Could it be bitten to death by four zombies? … Can he take a time machine back and let Zhao Yun drain his blood?

Cao Cao looked over and asked casually, “How’s your relationship with Zhao Yun?”

Xia Mingyu paused and looked at Cao with astonishment. Does this person have the ability to read people’s mind? Otherwise, how did he know I was thinking about Zhao Yun? “Uh, I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said, “No, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’re going to play dumb, then I’ll be more clear. What’s your relationship with Zhao Zilong of Changshan?”

He deliberately emphasized the words “Zhao Zilong of Changshan”. Knowing that he could not keep this from them, Xia Mingyu lowered his head, looked like a kitten that had been bullied. “Nothing, we barely know each other .”

“Oh, so he’s in the real world?” Cao Cao saw the boy hesitate before nodding. There was joy in the boy’s deep eyes. Cao Cao had thought about letting Zhao Yun work for him, but Zhao Yun was not willing to join him. Now that Zhao Yun is here again, he doesn’t believe that he can’t make this man join him after a thousand years.

“I changed my mind. I will send you back to the real world.” Cao Cao said so, Xia Mingyu’s eyes brightened and felt so refreshed instantly: “For real?”

“Of course. A word can never be withdrawn.” Xia Mingyu got more and more joyful, which even made Cao Cao laughed. The boy had been very cold these days, and he is so happy now. This is really interesting. “However, you have to do one thing for me. Ask Zhao Zilong come to see me. And it’s even better if you could persuade him to work for me.”

Xia Mingyu’s excitement suddenly went from a hundred to zero  and he immediately calmed down: “No, I only knew him. If I said such a disrespectful thing, he would kill me.” What’s more, why would I ask Zhao Yun to exchange his freedom with my own freedom? That would be too selfish.

Xia Houdun only was intending to intimidate Xia Mingyu, but Cao Cao didn’t take it seriously and smiled a little. “Do you really think that I have to ask for your permission to see Zhao Zilong? As long as I have you as my bait, eventually the fish, or even the dragon will come to seek for the bait.”

Fucking bastard, this make me in such a tight corner. Xia Mingyu suddenly didn’t want to go back, and he didn’t want to let Zhao Yun get involved with any of this.
