I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse-Chapter 1249: What on Earth Is This Thing?

A promise made is a promise kept; you really did give Young Master Hu three minutes of time. In those past three minutes, his body kept trembling incessantly. With every severe shudder, his skin color turned a shade paler until, when the trembling finally ceased, his body had become as white as a sheet of paper.

"Heeheeheehee..."

The laughter of Young Master Hu was still as disagreeable as ever.

You looked at him with an indifferent expression and asked, "Are you done?"

Young Master Hu cracked a smile, revealing two rows of sharp, blade-like teeth: "From this moment on, I will use my teeth to devour your flesh, piece by piece, into my stomach..."

As Young Master Hu uttered the word "stomach," your fist had already fiercely struck his face!

"Bang!"

The entire body of Young Master Hu spun like a top, crashing towards the load-bearing pillar of the Unfinished Building.

"Boom!"

As his body heavily collided with the load-bearing column, your second punch was already in swift strike!

"Bang!"

"Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang..."

The pounding sound of fists was like setting off firecrackers, incredibly swift, incessantly assaulting the eardrums.

That continuous noise was like a heavy-duty excavator that had removed its shovel and was instead using its percussive drill to incessantly pound the load-bearing column, ready to pulverize the Unfinished Building.

Zong Wangyue’s body kept retreating farther and farther because he clearly felt the Unfinished Building was trembling, and some of the walls and load-bearing pillars were beginning to crack.

When he retreated to a certain distance, he discovered a person standing behind him. Turning his head, he exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, Huang Mao, why haven’t you left?"

A stunned Huang Mao collected himself, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and said to Zong Wangyue, "I just came over to check the situation. I didn’t expect things to turn out like this, this... this is too exaggerated, it’s not like it’s a fantasy novel."

Zong Wangyue laughed and patted Huang Mao on the shoulder: "Young man, this world is far more complicated than you think."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud boom sounded, followed by the entire Unfinished Building trembling violently. Under the watch of Zong Wangyue and Huang Mao, you dragged Young Master Hu out like dragging a dead dog. Having barely left the Unfinished Building by ten meters, a thunderous roar was heard, and the Unfinished Building swiftly collapsed amidst a cloud of dust!

You tossed Young Master Hu onto the open ground in front of you and saw that his eyes were already flickering with a greyish-white light.

Under the watchful eye of Ghost Eye, you quickly understood everything.

It turned out that the reason Young Master Hu had transformed was due to the fruit. As the fruit absorbed Young Master Hu’s violent emotions and desire to kill, it granted him stronger power, altering his body to further inflate his desires and make him more violent. This way, the growth rate of the fruit would be faster.

It was just that, he had just completed his transformation when you thrashed him like this, and now he was half-dead, with the power of the fruit gradually fading away.

You stretched out your hand and violently stabbed into Young Master Hu’s shoulder, and yanked the fruit out from the position between his left arm and shoulder!

Once the fruit was exposed to sunlight, the peculiar eye quickly closed, and the worm-like tentacles also promptly drew together.

Conversely, Young Master Hu’s body reverted to its original state, except now his hair was white, his skin pale and coarse, making him appear to have aged several decades all at once.

"Boss, what in the world is this thing?"

Zong Wangyue and Huang Mao approached.

Looking at the fruit in your hand, you speak in a deep voice, "Although I’m still not sure what this thing actually is, I have a feeling that the guy who buys up personalities probably knows."

Then, you pat Zong Wangyue on the shoulder: "Call people to handle the aftermath. Also, there should be a dismembered female corpse in the underground parking lot, have Little Pen send someone to take care of it and let that poor girl enter Reincarnation sooner."

"Hmm."

While Zong Wangyue was making the call, Huang Mao pointed to the motionless Young Master Hu and particularly asked you, "Th-that, is this guy dead?"

"Not dead, but not far from it. Moreover, from what we can see now, it’d be cleaner if he were dead."

You look at the fruit in your hand and let out a cold laugh: "The seven emotions and six desires of humans are controlled by the Three Souls and Seven Spirits; this thing feeds on the endlessly expanding desires of humans. But when a person’s desire reaches a certain point, this thing appears, burrowing into the body like a parasite, slowly sprouting inside until it becomes a real monster."

Huang Mao swallowed hard and asked, "Are there many of these things?"

You shrug: "Who knows? Maybe one day, when you and your brothers are passing by on the street, it will latch onto you guys."

"Is there a way to prevent it?"

"Of course."

"Can you tell me?"

"Sure." You say with a smile, patting Huang Mao on the shoulder, "Do more good deeds, kindness is poison to it. A person filled with positive energy is someone it will absolutely not approach." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

...

After nightfall, in some corners of the bustling streets, some odd people always appear. Ordinary people naturally wouldn’t bother with them.

You and Zong Wangyue, who are well-prepared, walk toward a man in a suit and leather shoes who, just as last time, still stands in the darkness, beside a laptop and three rows of cell phones.

He seems to recognize you and says with a cheery smile, "Handsome, have you made up your mind to sell your personality?"

You smile and shake your head, taking out the fruit from your pocket and say to the man, "Do you recognize this thing?"

"Oh? Yanna fruit!" The man immediately recognizes the name of the fruit and laughs, saying, "It’s even one that’s about to sprout, huh, not bad. How much do you want to sell it to me for?"

You are stunned for a moment, not expecting him to be interested in this kind of fruit.

"Yanna fruit? This thing shouldn’t be from the Human World, right?"

The man laughs and says, "Of course not. If it were from the Human World, how could humans even survive?"

"That’s true." You look at the man, smile and say, "How about we make a deal?"

"How?"

"I’ll give you this fruit, and you answer me three questions, and you can’t withhold anything."

"OK, no problem, I am a legitimate businessman, honest to all!"

"Deal!"

You toss the Yanna fruit to the man; he catches it quickly, then does something that surprises both you and Zong Wangyue.

Right before your eyes, he puts the fruit into his mouth and bites down gently with his teeth: "Crack!"

A crisp sound follows, and then an agonizing scream comes from the man’s mouth. Yet, he completely ignores it and starts chewing, his expression one of immense satisfaction, as if he just tasted a delicious bite of braised pork.

You can’t help but swallow your saliva and ask, "You just ate it like that?"
