Chapter 104 Zombie Shadow Guard (12)
Shen Shang pursed his lips and said, "It is my duty as a subordinate. I have to do it."
Tao Xing nodded and walked forward.
The person behind him squeezed his hands and lowered his eyes slightly.
When Tao Xing walked to the bedside, he turned back and said, "I have one more thing to ask you."
Shen Shang immediately stepped forward and said, "You go ahead."
"You really didn't take my beads?"
The shadow guard panicked for a moment, and only dared to speak after a while: "I, I...I deceived my master, I deserve to die."
Tao Xing smiled faintly and approached him: "Where are you hiding?"
The man in front of him tugged at his clothes, stroked his hand across the pocket over his chest, took something out, clenched it in his hand and then slowly spread it out. The white jade bead flashed softly in his pale palm.
At the beginning, he had recommended himself as the undertaker of the funeral. He was to be put into the coffin the next day. The night before, he helped his master pack up his belongings, and somehow he took away a bead from the sword tassel.
That was the only time he overstepped the boundaries while alive.
Tao Xing did not ask him why he took it. There was no need to ask. She could also imagine that he might have said goodbye to her silently in the dark that night.
There are so many regrets about the past, but fortunately, this life has not been delayed for too long.
Tao Xing only asked: "Have you been hiding it on your body?"
“...Yes.” After taking a shower and changing clothes, he would quietly take it out and put it beside him, and then put it back on his body after changing clothes.
Can Shang looked guilty: "I shouldn't have kept your things. Now... they are returned to the original owner." He moved his hand forward a little further.
Tao Xing smiled and held his hand: "If I had searched a little further last time, would I have found it?"
The person in front of him lowered his head and dared not speak.
The owner of the bead did not take it back, but just held it together with the outstretched hand, and then turned around with the person in his arms.
The world was spinning, and the panicked shadow guard had fallen onto the bed. His hand holding the beads was raised to the head of the bed, and the person who leaned over him gave him a burning kiss.
The moonlight flickered, turning into tiny spots of light in the blurred eyes, embellishing the quiet yet warm room.
The deep voice asked, "Are you willing?"
The dazed man panted slightly: "I...will leave it to the master to decide."
"There is no master or subordinate here." A warm breath fell on his face, "You say."
Shen Shang bit his lip lightly: "Yes."
"Very willing?"
"With all my heart."
A soft laugh in the ear and a long kiss.
Can Shang suddenly felt that his master seemed to be teasing him, but he had no time to think about it. He suddenly let out a soft moan and hugged the person's shoulders tightly.
The bead rolled out of the palm of the hand, and no one had time to look for where it rolled to.
The shadow guard was still a little timid after all. Even though he bit his lips tightly, he refused to make any sound. So he had no choice but to listen to some movement from the corners of his mouth.
He was also very obedient and endured it cleverly, clinging tightly to the slowly moving back with both hands, but he probably didn't know that he left marks on the back.
By the time the pale hand fell to the side of the bed and had no strength to lift it up, it was already dawn.
The curtains were not opened, and the room remained peaceful and quiet without anyone disturbing it.
Both were awake but didn't move, lying face to face, looking at each other in the early morning light.
His mind was still floating in the clouds, his consciousness gradually returned, and he asked, "You... know everything, why did you say you didn't know when you woke up yesterday, and why did you ask me?"
He just remembered that Tao Xing scratched his nose and said, "I'm just teasing you."
"You..." Shen Shang frowned and raised his fist, but he suddenly came to his senses and quickly retracted it, "I am being rude."
Unable to retract his clenched fist, Tao Xing held it: "Oh, I'm going to lose my temper."
"Your subordinate... No, I dare not..."
"There is nothing I dare not do." Tao Xing put her nose close to his and said softly, "In front of me, anything is possible. I am not the master, and you are not the subordinate. We are lovers."
The person in his arms lowered his eyes slightly: "Yeah."
All the extravagant hopes and dreams are truly around us. The morning sunlight falls lightly on the eyebrows and eyes of the one you love, so beautiful that it is intoxicating.
The two slept for a while before getting up. While getting dressed, Tao Xing saw Shen Shang bending over to look for something. He walked up to him and asked. He stammered, "The bead fell off."
It had been preserved for a thousand years without falling off, but it was lost that night.
Tao Xing smiled helplessly and searched with him on the ground. Finally, they found it under the cabinet: "I think it would be better to drill a hole and string it through. It's too difficult to preserve it this way."
After stringing the beads on, she hung them around Shen Shang's neck. Then, a call came from the company. Tao Xing thought about it and decided that it was time to go to work.
He still took Canshang to the group, walked through the front desk in the lobby, and took the elevator to the president's office.
All the employees were in an uproar again.
In a group named "This group has no leader", the front desk said: "Boss Tao came here today holding hands with Cang Shang. The news is authentic. Can you guess what's going on with them?"
Canteen Manager: "No need to guess. The secretary just called and asked us to send two meals up. He said Mr. Tao will eat with his lover. Can you guess who this lover is?"
Secretary: "Guess what? I'll tell you, when I entered the office, Cang Shang was sitting on Mr. Tao's lap. Next time I won't dare not knock on the door again."
All employees: “Wow…”
Anonymous: "No, I have to be reasonable and say something to you. Is it really okay to spread gossip about the boss like this?"
Secretary: "But he asked me to arrange dinner for him and his lover."
Canteen Manager: "Yes, they even specifically asked for couples' meals."
Receptionist: “Well, they held hands and deliberately walked around the lobby on the first floor.”
Everyone: "...Do you feel that Mr. Tao is showing off and showing off his affection?"
"Wait a minute, look downstairs, why are there so many cars coming suddenly? Wow, they brought a lot of roses, and arranged them in the shape of Shen Shang's name."
"Whose car is this?"
"Mr. Tao's."
Everyone: "It's confirmed, Mr. Tao is just showing off his affection."
In the CEO's office on the top floor, Can Shang stood in front of the window, looking at the flowers downstairs in amazement: "You..."
"Do you like it?" Tao Xing walked up to him.
Shen Shang was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily: "I like it."
"Can you smile a little, then?"
Shen Shang was stunned for a moment: "You just want to see me smile?"
Tao Xing nodded.
Shen Shang lowered his eyes slightly, and when he looked up again, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, like a flower slowly blooming when there is no one under the moon.
"It looks very good." Tao Xing also laughed.
Roses are flying, gently drifting through the rising and setting of the sun and moon.
Early in the morning, Tao Xing was watering the flowers in the yard. As the sun rose, he looked down and saw that his nails were growing rapidly.
The servant came and said, "There is a party that wants to see you."
The nail was retracted suddenly: "Who is it?"
"Superpower Bureau."
In the reception room, a group of people in uniform suits politely sat opposite Tao Xing. "Hello, Mr. Tao. Let me formally introduce myself. We are from the Special Ability Bureau, the full name of which is the Special Ability Management Bureau. The purpose of our existence is to gather the special humans... or non-humans in the world to maintain world security and prevent human panic."
"Oh?" Tao Xing leaned back in his chair and smiled, "What do you want from me?"
"Mr. Tao, there is a zombie next to you. We think you are aware of this."
Tao Xing's smile faded slightly.
"Wang died horribly on the island. There were other traces of blood and flesh at the scene. The relevant departments initially concluded that it was caused by wild animals. Later, it was confirmed that there were no wild animals on the island. After we intervened and investigated, we discovered the identity of your lover."
It turned out that there were traces left at that time. Tao Xing asked: "So, what are you going to do?"
"We want to take him away and discipline him uniformly," the visitor said, "We can't let him stay in the human world..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sneer. Tao Xing asked, "What if I don't allow it?"
The man was stunned. "No matter how rational a zombie is, it will lose control someday. If it stays in the human world, something bad will happen sooner or later. Mr. Tao, can you protect humans? Moreover, his identity has been exposed. Today, our Supernatural Bureau wants him. Tomorrow, some people with mysterious and evil magic may come to snatch him. They won't be as polite as us. Mr. Tao, can you protect him?"
Tao Xing raised his eyebrows and swept his deep eyes over everyone: "Don't worry about it."
"Okay, if you don't want to give it to us, we can't force you. However, we have the obligation to remind you that if anything happens that harms humans, you won't be able to bear the consequences." The group got up and left.
In the hall, Tao Xing was sitting alone.
Someone came down from upstairs.
Shen Shang was very tired last night and couldn't get up today. He slept a little longer and was not fully awake yet: "Are there any guests?"
"Yes, he has left." Tao Xing turned around.
"What's the matter?"
"It's okay." Tao Xing pulled him into her arms, pinched his chin and kissed him a few times, paused for a moment, and asked with a smile, "Shan Shang, do you prefer lively or quiet?"
The person in his arms said without hesitation: "I like where you are."
Tao Xing was startled for a moment, then took him into her arms again.
At night, there was no moon in the sky. The branches of flowers around the villa swayed slightly. Gradually, a strong wind blew over the ground. With a buzzing sound, the swaying flowers broke off the branches.
Tao Xing suddenly opened his eyes.
He covered the sleeping person beside him with a quilt, then put on his clothes and walked to the door. His brows frowned, and his fingernails grew longer in shock. He waved his hand forward, and an invisible strong airflow suddenly rushed out. The buzzing wind suddenly stopped, and something fell to the ground with a clang, and it dodged in panic.
"Get lost!" Tao Xing growled, "How dare you be so presumptuous in my territory?"
There was a chaotic noise in the night, and the rustling sound quickly faded away.
What the Bureau of Superpowers said was correct. Some people who practiced evil magic came to the door and came for the thousand-year-old zombie body of Shan Shang. However, they were seriously injured today and I'm afraid they won't dare to come again in the short term.
Tao Xing was standing in front of the door. In the dark night, when the unusual movement disappeared, he slowly raised his head.
On the pale face, a pair of sharp teeth were pressed against the corners of the mouth.
080 stumbled in his consciousness, and then jumped up in shock: "Host...Host, you turned into a zombie! You were bitten by him! When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?!"
The system was upset because it had neglected its duty and failed to monitor the host's body in time.
Shen Shang is not poisonous unless he is in an alienated state. It is impossible that he was bitten when they were intimate, but when he was in an alienated state... Thinking about it carefully, he actually didn't alienate many times. Which time was it...
"When he was cursed." Tao Xing said.
"Yes, he was totally irrational that one time." 080 was shocked. "It was... you were helping him to remove the curse, and you got bitten when you kissed him, right?"
"Yeah." Tao Xing nodded.
At that time, he had just been bitten and the poison had not yet spread, so his body could still be controlled by Boss Wang. Later... Later, Tao Xing actually had the opportunity to stop the spread of the poison, such as buying medicine from the mall, but he didn't.
Later, the poison infected the whole body and there was no chance of recovery.
How can human life compare to that of zombies? Since Shen Shang hopes that he will live long, it is not bad for him to live a little longer.
What's more, he has a special physique that can amplify the attack energy of his body countless times. Since he has become a zombie... he has naturally become the most powerful zombie, commonly known as the Zombie King.
Those idiots who practiced evil magic now know his identity. If they come again, they will have to think twice.
The Zombie King can control his own body temperature and all non-human characteristics. It is impossible for him to lose control. As long as he does not expose himself, no one will be able to detect it.
But once you become a zombie, you are no longer a living person.
Shen Shang once died for him, so now, it’s time to repay him a little.
"No wonder Shen Shang found your body so quickly." 080 suddenly realized, "He bit you, and his blood is already in your body, so he can track you." It remembered what the host said at that time, maybe it was a sense, and it was just a joke at first, but it turned out that the host knew it very well.
But Shen Shang seemed not to have realized it. He was almost emotionally collapsed at that time and probably never thought about it carefully.
The host said that there was nothing wrong with the Zombie King, but...but the host had become a non-human after all, 080 sighed.
Tao Xing smiled faintly, put away his zombie features, gathered his clothes, turned around and walked back.
There is nothing wrong with it, but it is not a long-term solution. We need to think about their future.
