Views:

Cui Zuofei finally woke up at noon on the third day after I returned to the human world. At that time, I was still watching the shop in Fuzetang when my cell phone suddenly rang. When I picked up the phone, it was Liu Yidi who called me. She told me with a slightly tearful voice that Cui Zuofei had woken up. When I heard that, I was so happy that I had waited for so long. After all, I closed the door and rushed to the hospital.

When I ran to Cui Zuofei's ward, Cui Zuofei had already sat up, but he looked extremely pale, skinny, and malnourished. He didn't look much better than when I resurrected him before. I ran to Cui Zuofei and said to him happily, "Brother Cui, are you okay?" I was really happy. After all, I had been watching over him for half a year and finally got him back.

Cui Zuofei looked at me gratefully and said, "I heard from Yu Di about your trip to the underworld for me. Thank you."

"Fuck you, don't be so polite. What's the point of being polite? It would be better to just give me some cash." I patted Cui Zuofei on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you wake up. We are so familiar with each other, why are you being so polite?"

“Yeah,” Cui Zuofei nodded. I suddenly realized that there was another person in the ward besides me, Cui Zuofei, and Liu Yudi. When I came in, I was happy to see Cui Zuofei wake up, so I didn’t notice him. Now I saw that it was Yi Xinxing. Yi Xinxing looked a lot stronger, with a short flat head, and looked at Cui Zuofei with a smile. I immediately greeted him, “Brother Yi, you are here too?”

"Well, isn't this my little Cui who has recovered and is back to see him?" Yi Xinxing suddenly looked at me and asked, "By the way, Xiaojiu, do you have a Taoist name?"

"Daoist name? What is that?" I asked in confusion. As soon as Yi Xinxing heard me say that, he knew I didn't have a Taoist name, and then he immediately explained to me that in ancient times, Yin and Yang masters who traveled around the world would marry a nickname as a Taoist name, such as Qingfeng Taoist or something like that. And this Taoist name was not just a verbal name, but a talisman was used to write down one's birth date and then one's Taoist name, and then burned it in the underworld. In this way, the underworld would have a record, which was considered a certificate.

"Do you want me to name you one? I'm very good at this," Yi Xinxing said to me excitedly, "Lao Cui's Taoist name is Northeast Unique, and I'm Handsome Man. How about you call yourself Iron Man?"

"Ah" Before I could come to my senses, Yi Xinxing took out a piece of paper from somewhere, and then pressed my hand, as if to force a confession, and pressed my thumb down. After I pressed it, Yi Xinxing burned the paper.

"Oh my god, are you serious?" I said as I was about to go up and grab the paper that had not been burned yet, I wanted to extinguish it, but I didn't expect Yi Xinxing to stand in front of me and block my way. I was a little desperate. Damn it, if I was really called Iron Man, I would probably be laughed to death by others. Watching the paper burn, Cui Zuofei said: "Okay, Lao Yi, stop making trouble, let's chat quietly."

Then I, Yi Xinxing and Cui Zuofei, the three of us sat in Cui Zuofei's bed and started chatting. We talked about everything. Cui Zuofei asked me what happened after he fainted, and I told him everything slowly. After he heard the result of Qiuxiang and I, he sighed, looked at me and said, "Xiaojiu, I'm not telling you as a brother. If you meet a good girl, you have to seize the opportunity to make money, otherwise you will miss it. If I were you, you would just go back to Wujiang and live with Qiuxiang right now. Why are you still worrying so much?"

"I think so too." I gave a bitter smile and thought to myself, if it weren't for that bastard Meng Yi, I would have probably retired with Qiuxiang by now. After all, I don't have anything else to worry about now, only Meng Yi. I originally had conflicts with him, and now with the matter of the Rotating King, it's basically a situation where I forget whether he dies or not.

"I still have some things to do." I smiled and didn't tell Cui Zuofei about Meng Yi. I knew that if I told Cui Zuofei about the conditions of the Rotating King, he would definitely help me. But he had just recovered from being a vegetative state, and his body functions were also slowly recovering. How could he recover in a short time? At least he would need several months of recuperation.

Seeing that Brother Cui was full of energy, I breathed a sigh of relief and said to him, "Brother Cui, now that you have woken up, I still have things to do. I may have to stay in Harbin for a while. I will come to see you again after a while."

Cui Zuofei looked at me and smiled: "Go ahead, remember to call me if you need any help, don't be polite to me." I nodded after hearing that, said hello to Yi Xinxing and Liu Yudi, turned around and left the hospital. After leaving the hospital and looking at the gray sky outside, I took a deep breath, took out the phone, and dialed Li Shigao's number

"Hello? Xiao Jiuao, what's up?" Li Shigao on the other end seemed to be eating, and I could hear the sound of him eating over the phone. I said, "Old Li, Brother Cui has woken up."

"What? He woke up, that's good news. Tell him I'll come visit him in a couple of days. Tell him not to miss me too much." Li Shigao on the other side sounded quite happy.

I thought about it and said, "Well, I will tell you. Let's get down to business, Lao Li. I want to know the whereabouts of Meng Yi. Don't tell me you don't have it. If you don't know the whereabouts of those zombies, you probably won't be able to sleep well, right?"

Li Shigao fell silent when he heard what I said. He was silent for ten seconds before he asked, "Why do you want his whereabouts?" It was much quieter on the other side, as if Li Shigao had walked to a deserted place. I knew something was up when I saw him like this.

"I'm going to fight him to death." I smiled bitterly, and then told Li Shigao about the agreement with the Rotating King. Li Shigao said as soon as he heard it: "You are really too ridiculous. Do you know how powerful Meng Yi is? With the Rotating Stone you mentioned, I estimate that his strength can be increased a lot."

"You have to think of a way for me. Am I not going to look for him? If I don't look for him, the oath I swore alone will kill me." I frowned and said, "You'd better tell me his whereabouts."

Li Shigao thought about it for a while before saying, "I can only tell you that he is near Wujiang River now, but I can't tell you the details. If you really want to deal with him, wait a few days. I have something else to do now. I will go with you to deal with him after I am done with it."
