Chapter 371: True Flesh

  The Vase Girl had her limbs cut off when she was young, turned into a human pig, and then raised inside a vase.

  Over time.

  Her body grew together with the vase.

  A vase is more of a container than a body.

  It contains only organs, no bones.

  "Is it wrong for me to want to grow limbs?" The Vase Woman's eyes brimmed with tears, her voice mournful, "I've been confined in this vase since childhood, enduring untold suffering! Is it so wrong for me to eat some dead people's bones?"

  "Just eating yin bones is of course no problem."

  Lu Fei sneered.

  "But now, you've set your sights on living people. I don't know if the yin bones are too slow-acting or simply ineffective, but you can't wait any longer."

  "You bewitched Dasha to find you a young and beautiful body."

  "I only asked him to help me find yin bones; I didn't know he would do this... It's too terrifying!" The Vase Woman's eyes filled with fear, making her look like an innocent little rabbit.

  "Take me away, I'd rather be your servant..."

  Her deep, expressive eyes pleaded, filled with a kind of irresistible allure for men.

  But Lu Fei and the other two had cold, even disdainful expressions on their faces.

  "Your tricks don't work on us."

  The bottle girl was taken aback, her tears froze on her fair face. Seeing that the three remained unmoved, the vulnerability in her eyes gradually turned to coldness.

  "I just want to leave my cage, what's wrong with that? Why can others walk freely in the sun with their arms and legs, while I can only be a parasite in this bottle?"

  "I lost my arms and legs when I was young, and I no longer remember what it feels like to walk."

  "Don't I have the right to be human?"

  "Why not?"

  She no longer pretended, coldly recounting her grievances.

  "What happened to you is not your fault," Lu Fei said with a cold expression, "but it is not our fault either, nor is it the fault of other innocent people."

  "Master Mo was right, no matter how pitiful you were in life, now you are just an evil entity that harms others!"

  Resentment has already twisted her body and mind, beneath her beautiful appearance lies a decayed and dark soul.

  "We even helped you and that fool before, thinking you were sincere, but you turned around and went to kill people!" Hu Zi was still harboring resentment for being deceived.

  "Pah!"

  "You two disgusting things!"

  "Keeping the likes of you around is just a disaster!"

  "All I want is to live! I just want to know what it feels like to walk..." The Bottle Girl cried with sorrow, "Why won't you even give me this chance? Why be so heartless?"

  "Whatever you and the Big Fool want to do is your own business, but others are innocent. Your opportunity should not be built on harming others! You've already been given a chance, but you didn't keep your promise!"

  Lu Fei didn't want to say any more, picking up the Thunderbolt Jujube Wood Stick.

  In his heart, he had hoped that the Bottle Girl was sincere towards the Big Fool, but alas, this was yet another evil creature twisted by resentment.

  "No!"

  The woman in the bottle screamed in terror, retracting her head, tears streaming down her face as she pitifully pleaded.

  "Please, don't kill me! I won't do it again, please..."

  Seeing that Lu Fei was unmoved.

  She hurriedly cried out loudly for Big Fool.

  "Big Brother Fool, Big Brother Fool, wake up, they're going to bully me..."

  Big Fool actually responded.

  Unfortunately, he hadn't managed to get up yet.

  A bolt of lightning shot out from the thunderstruck wood, landing on the woman in the bottle.

  The fish tank flashed with electricity.

  The water boiled for a moment before gradually calming down.

  The dilapidated vase floated lopsided on the water's surface, and that stunningly beautiful head had disappeared, replaced by a skull with long black hair.

  "Narcissus!"

  Big Fool struggled to his feet and rushed to the fish tank. Upon seeing the lifeless skull, he was so frightened that he stumbled backwards and fell.

  "Where is my Narcissus? Where have you hidden her!"

  Big Fool roared in anger at Lu Fei and the other two.

  "Fool, are you still dreaming? That is your Narcissus!" Hu Zi said impatiently.

  "It can't be, my Narcissus was so beautiful..." Big Fool refused to believe it. Suddenly, his stomach cramped, and he began to vomit violently.

  He vomited up clumps of rotten, black flesh mixed with strands of hair, emitting an unbearable stench.

  "Holy crap! Did you fight a dog for food?"

  Hu Zi and Jing Jian quickly opened the windows and doors to let the foul smell dissipate.

  As the night breeze blew, a look of confusion appeared on Big Fool's pained face. After two seconds of stupor, he looked at Lu Fei and the other two with uncertainty.

  "Who are you?"

  Hu Zi and Jing Jian exchanged glances.

  In just a few seconds, Big Fool no longer recognized them.

  "Oh no, has the shock been too much for him and his brain completely gone haywire?" Jing Jian became worried.

  Lu Fei stood by the window, looking at the hair in the rotten flesh, and suddenly realized, "So he was eating the bottle girl's flesh! The bottle girl used this method to enchant him. As long as the flesh in his stomach remains, we can't possibly wake him up."

  Now that the bottle girl is dead, and he has vomited out the flesh, he naturally wakes up.

  "What?!" Jing Jian almost threw up in disgust.

  "I really thought he was a devoted lover!" Hu Zi's eyes widened, his face full of malice, "Damn! This evil spirit was so cunning, she had been deceiving us from the start! She acted so innocent, we almost fell for her schemes! Boss, you're the best!"

  "Actually, I almost believed her too, but thinking about the yin bone, I kept my guard up. When we confronted her, she didn't mention the yin bone at all, and I always felt she was hiding something."

  Lu Fei relaxed.

  "Anyway, the matter is resolved, and we can give an account to Master Mo."

  "Hey, who are you guys? Why are you in my house, are you trying to steal something!" Da Sha looked at the three people in confusion, seeming to have no recollection of what had happened, and was a bit angry.

  "With the junk in your house, I wouldn't even take it if you gave it away for free!" Hu Zi rolled his eyes.

  Jing Jian, however, sighed with relief: "It seems he's not stupid, he just doesn't remember. Let Master Mo explain it to him later."

  The three went to Master Mo's house and recounted what had happened that night.

  "The methods of evil spirits to harm people are truly unpredictable; even I was deceived. Fortunately, you were careful, Manager Lu!"

  Master Mo couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

  "How many human-ghost romances are there in the world, and even if there were, how could they be encountered by a simpleton?"

  After a moment of reflection, he invited Lu Fei to choose any one of the magical artifacts on the shelf as a token of gratitude.

  Lu Fei was not lacking in magical artifacts. After some thought, he said, "Master Mo, how about letting Da Sha pawn the remaining vases of the Vase Lady to me? Sinisterium Pawnshop specializes in the business of collecting evil objects. If he can pawn them to me, it would make this trip worthwhile."

  "I know that Sinisterium Pawnshop specializes in collecting evil objects and turning them into treasures. But the Vase Lady is already dead, what value could those old vases have?" Master Mo was very puzzled.
