CHAPTER 865: CHAPTER 579: DELIVERIES IN THE OLD CITY DISTRICT ARE TOUGH

"The most cost-effective option is to go to ’Du Kang Wine Workshop’ and buy the wine specifically made for Spiritual Beings."

said the Tomb Guardian.

"Once they’re drunk, they naturally won’t wake up."

"Is this really cost-effective?"

Liu Zheng asked, somewhat skeptical.

"You’re going there anyway, aren’t you? It’s on your way."

"You wouldn’t want me to bring back wine for you as well, would you?"

He had a sudden thought.

"I can drink."

The Tomb Guardian nodded.

"You can drink..."

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes internally.

Of course, he knew the Tomb Guardian could drink; the kind of wine the Tomb Guardian couldn’t drink would poison an entire farm of Niu Ma.

"What kind of wine do you like? I’ll get some for you."

Liu Zheng offered.

Not afraid of many demands from the big boss, just afraid when the big boss has none.

Compared to other requests, buying wine was relatively easy.

"I want a flask of Light Wine."

said the Tomb Guardian.

"What kind of wine is Light Wine?"

Just the name alone sounded extraordinary.

"In places where ’insects’ exist, Light Wine is not just wine but life itself. Where Light Wine flows, life will thrive and flourish."

"In Metropolis, life has its natural rhythm and does not exist in the form of ’insects’ and ’Light Wine’."

"But once, a winemaker at Du Kang Wine Workshop migrated from abroad and was an Insect Master. He relied on his abilities and knowledge about ’insects’ to brew a Metropolis version of Light Wine."

"Just a drop could bring the dead back to life, flesh, and bones. Drinking a whole flask could turn even a mayfly that lives and dies in a day into an Immortal Species."

introduced the Tomb Guardian.

"But aren’t you already an Immortal Species?"

He asked, puzzled.

"Where there’s no birth, how can there be death? But if I drink a flask of Light Wine and stand by a great fire, I can once again experience the sensation of being alive."

said the Tomb Guardian.

"How long can you experience it?"

"I don’t know. But how long doesn’t matter; just experiencing it once again is enough for me to remember for a very long time, until the end of death."

In the Tomb Guardian’s calm tone, there seemed to lurk a certain madness.

"I don’t really understand, but since it’s your request, I’ll do my best to fulfill it."

Liu Zheng scratched his head and said,

These troubles of the big people were still too distant from him.

"You won’t lose out. The City Hall is extremely cautious in exploring the places where ’insects’ exist, possibly not sending anyone for a hundred years, and even if they go, they might not bring back ’insects’. Let alone this extremely rare ’dream’."

"Hand this pillow to Du Kang Wine Workshop, and you’ll not only get Light Wine for free but might also receive the highest procurement quota."

said the Tomb Guardian.

"So what you meant by the most cost-effective option was this."

"Isn’t it? I don’t think the value of that resentment is higher than a flask of Light Wine. The rest is pure profit for you."

said the Tomb Guardian.

"Maybe. My math teacher was a language teacher, so I can’t figure it out and can’t be bothered to."

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"I only know one calculation: besides being alive, nothing makes me happier."

"You won’t kill me if I can’t bring back the Light Wine, right?"

He asked cautiously.

"No, it’s a separate request."

The Tomb Guardian shook his head.

"Then that’s good. Thank the Tomb Guardian for his kindness."

Liu Zheng beamed with a bright smile.

"I am always kind to dairy-producing cattle. Send him back."

With a wave of the Tomb Guardian’s hand, the skeletal horse fell from the air, lying on the ground sprawled out.

"Lord Tomb Guardian, can I make a trip to Red Pig’s grave first?"

He hurriedly asked.

"You can. However..."

The Tomb Guardian paused as if hesitating whether to speak.

"However, what?"

"I don’t think giving the pillow to that resentful spirit right now is a good idea. Their minds are constantly on the brink of collapse and might act irrationally."

Like forcibly sleeping, causing the soul of Qian Zao’s host to be startled awake.

"Understood, thank you for the warning."

"Huh."

The Tomb Guardian nodded slightly, then disappeared into the distance while whistling a melodious tune.

The skeletal horse, seeing its master leave, quickly got up.

"Thank you, Brother Ma. How about I give you a massage?"

Liu Zheng offered enthusiastically.

"Whinny?"

The skeletal horse looked at its gaunt body and then at Liu Zheng’s tentacles, filled with doubt.

"Don’t worry; there’s a technique for bulky bodies and another for thin ones, ensuring you get a proper massage."

He said, patting his chest.

The skeletal horse seemed to believe Liu Zheng’s words and fell over again.

"Whinny~"

It puffed its thick lips twice, as if saying, "Come on, show what you’ve got."

"Watch and learn!"

Liu Zheng flexed his muscles, waving his four tentacles and began massaging the skeletal horse.

Without the boost of the Legendary Armor now, his Strength Attribute had greatly reduced, making every press an exertion of his full strength.

Despite that, this force was still too gentle for Niu Ma, but just right for the skeletal horse.

"All done!"

After a bout of kneading, Liu Zheng gave the horse’s rear a solid smack, drenched in sweat as if he’d just come out of a hot spring.

"Are you satisfied, Brother Ma?"

He asked with a grin

"Whinny~"

The skeletal horse, with an arrogant blow of its lips, indicated a so-so level of satisfaction.

"Not in my best form today; next time I deliver, I’ll be sure to give you a proper massage again."

Liu Zheng said.

The skeletal horse nodded slightly, then gestured for Liu Zheng to get on its back.

Once Liu Zheng was seated, it galloped forward, taking him outside the Bloody Restaurant.

"Whinny~"

The skeletal horse gave a farewell neigh, then vanished without a trace.
