Cheng Shuang didn't notice the zombie on the ground immediately; she was looking at Master Ren, who was trying to slip away from under the wall.

As she looked down again, her ankle was gripped by the zombie's cold claws, and when the zombie jumped straight up from the ground, she was lifted up headfirst.

In the upside-down view, Master Ren slipped away even faster.

Cheng Shuang looked up at the zombie helplessly, and saw it spread its arms. She immediately understood that it wanted to tear her in two.

"Oh my god! Where's your electricity! Where's your electricity!" Longwei patted Longdian's back in a panic.

"It released all its light at once!" the Dragon Palace shouted anxiously.

This was the first time Longwei had learned of his younger brother's abilities and the power to unleash light. Now he regretted not having seized this leverage sooner; it was too late. At this moment, he wanted nothing more than to spank the brat a few times, and while he was fiercely battling him, he faltered at the crucial moment.

"You're sure you're not faking it! You treat Master Ren better than our father. Is he going to marry his daughter to you?"

Not only was Long Wei angry, but even Long Dian himself was extremely annoyed. He subconsciously blurted out, "You don't appreciate kindness! I was just worried that the zombies would hurt you!"

The courtyard was completely silent. The two brothers were stunned and stared blankly at each other.

Cheng Shuang covered her face. She felt an urge to shake her two older brothers by the collar and roar. Was this supposed to be a touching moment of discovering their feelings for each other? This wasn't some action anime where brothers who were sabotaging each other showed true affection in the face of life and death! Had they forgotten that their dear little sister was still suffering? Were all the good things they had done for her before just a lie?

At least Longwei and Longdian aren't fake brothers, and Cheng Shuang isn't a weakling who just takes all the beatings.

As soon as she sensed the zombie was about to attack, she arched her back and swung her body up, using the weight she generated to press heavily onto the zombie's back, forcing its wrists to dislocate as if they were dislocated.

The two brothers, who were about to pounce on Cheng Shuang with a plank they had picked up from somewhere, immediately dropped the plank and stretched out their hands, vying to catch her.

The little girl, who had just leaped into the air, was immediately bewildered. The style of the Dragon Palace was quite consistent with that of when she was a demon infant, so why had she unknowingly been influenced by the style of the movie and started to laugh along with it?

Couldn't they have one person deal with the zombies and the other help her land?!

The answer is no. The two brothers, who are used to vying for their sister's attention, really don't have that kind of tacit understanding. When they finally met Cheng Shuang, the zombies arrived shortly after.

Dragon Palace has experience fighting zombies. Back then, he accidentally helped Lam Ching-ying and Auntie Chap get rid of many zombies. Now that he has his own body, he is naturally not as brave as before. If a zombie injures his vital organs, he will die.

The two brothers joined forces for the first time. One lifted Cheng Shuang from under his armpits, while the other swung her legs, using their beloved little sister as a weapon to kick the zombie, sending it staggering back several steps.

Then the two of them carried Cheng Shuang and ran out of the courtyard in a flash.

Cheng Shuang wanted to say "Let me go," but Long Dian, as if by telepathy, covered her mouth.

The three of them plunged into the flowerbeds of the Ren family garden, covering each other's mouths and noses and holding their breath.

Soon after, the zombies approached from afar, leaping across the garden with incredible speed, heading straight for the direction where Master Ren had disappeared.

Clearly, with no one else to delay it, it showed an intense longing for the flesh and blood of its loved ones.

Once the zombies were completely gone, the three of them took a deep breath and then quickly exhaled.

Cheng Shuang and Long Wei exclaimed in unison, "Uncle Nine!"

Longwei said quickly and softly, "I'm going to find Uncle Jiu. You all must not go out. Remember to hold your breath!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away as fast as he could.

Thinking of Uncle Nine, Long Dian's face darkened silently.

As his resentment dissipated, his lightning power also gradually weakened. The pain and despair of being repeatedly struck seemed to gradually leave his mind, and he was almost forgetting it.

Most of his memories are filled with Master Long's hearty laughter, Madam Long's loving gaze, Long Wei's smug satisfaction at his successful pranks, and the silly Shuang who witnessed all his growth and changes...

Uncle Nine? Master Ching-ying?

That Taoist priest!

His presence reminded him that everything seemed to have returned to square one; he had changed, but Sha Shuang remained the same Sha Shuang.

He rested his head on her shoulder, as if they were alone in Silent Hill (not really), embracing each other tightly (not really). Long Dian felt his eyes sting and his nose tingle, his heart filled with a strange and complex emotion.

It was too dark for Cheng Shuang to see Long Dian's expression clearly. However, the unique bond between the twins allowed her to sense that Long Dian was not in a good mood.

Until he suddenly pushed her away forcefully, his dark eyes flashing with an indescribable danger, as if something was about to burst forth from the ground.

The little girl tilted her head as if she didn't understand, but inwardly she became more vigilant.

Dragon Palace was forced to reincarnate. If it weren't for the arrangement of the Gate of Reincarnation, he probably wouldn't have been born peacefully. Dragon Lady's death must have been closely related to the demonic infant in her womb.

Essentially, the Gate of Reincarnation abused its power for personal gain and committed a crime, so the Dragon Palace is very likely to 'awaken' at any time and revert to its former state.

Long Dian's thin, bloodless lips visibly turned down, as if he were desperately suppressing his inner anger. His fingers gripped Cheng Shuang's shoulders tightly. After a long while, he questioned, "Have you never believed me all this time?"

Cheng Shuang was slightly taken aback, but the next second she understood why the Dragon Palace would ask that question.

As twins, she could sense the Dragon King's feelings, and the Dragon King could naturally sense hers as well. Although she didn't show it on her face just now, her inner turmoil must have been considerable.

The little girl sighed softly, having learned her lesson; she realized that sometimes even one's inner emotions can betray them.

"Then can you tell me what you were thinking just now?" Cheng Shuang did not deny it. Having already been caught, denying it would only turn into a futile excuse.

Why do you want to hurt me?

She laid bare what she had felt, bloodily and starkly, before the Dragon Palace.

From passive to active, the choice now rests with the Dragon Palace.

He could choose not to answer, and the two could continue to conceal the truth; or he could answer openly and honestly, deepening their relationship.

Dragon Palace chose the latter, and his expression suddenly became very strange. He stammered, "I... I was thinking, if you turned into a zombie, would you be able to stay?"

Goodness, thank goodness she asked one.

That idea is so bizarre and dangerous!

Cheng Shuang asked in bewilderment, "Stay? What do you mean, stay?"

The Dragon Palace official remained silent, his face serious, and only softly asked, "Could you please not leave?"

"Can you stay with me and live together? I won't be naughty or mischievous, and I'll listen to you obediently!"

The boy's voice grew increasingly hoarse, "Big brother has the Dragon Mansion, a job, and responsibilities, but I only have you!"

"Sister-in-law, don't go..."
