Now, it was Ye Mingshang who was puzzled.
"Where did you meet me?" Ye Mingshang asked, frowning in confusion.
"Hehe!" The leader suddenly laughed, a somewhat crazy laugh.
"Someone like you would certainly not remember a small character like me, because you are a devil crazier than I could ever be, completely devoid of humanity!"
"In my opinion, the number of people you've killed must be higher than the mountains."
His expression was hard to describe; if one had to put it into words, it was a state of fear that had reached its peak after experiencing terror.
However, his guess was not far off. Ye Mingshang had killed countless people in this life alone, and in his previous life, the number reached tens of millions.
Such figures were likely comparable to the heights of the Himalayas, already among the highest in the world.
After all, the renowned Killing God Bai Qi had only killed around eight hundred thousand people.
"No matter how you know me, I will say this: I won't meddle with those who do not provoke me." This was Ye Mingshang's final statement.
Upon hearing this, the leader fainted.
In truth, Ye Mingshang did not remember that he had once eradicated a group composed of Zombies here.
They were all Wet Corpses, not the kind that would decay but similar to those cultivated by the Corpse God Cult.
Their bodies resembled those of ordinary people, full of moisture yet not decaying.
Usually, they concealed themselves beneath thick wrappings,
with heavy makeup thicker than that of women covering their unhealthy skin tone and some mottled patches.
His talisman was clearly only effective against the Evil Entity, which included various demons and monsters, as well as humans who practiced Evil Arts.
When he passed through here, the gang he dealt with was entirely composed of Wet Corpses.
He killed those Wet Corpses; others did not deliberately target them nor did they intentionally let them go.
Whether they could survive depended on their luck.
Their luck was quite good; almost everyone survived, with only a few sustaining serious injuries.
However, those things were beyond Ye Mingshang's recollection.
Although for this person, it was something that could impact a lifetime.
For Ye Mingshang, it was merely a casual act, hardly something to remember for such a long time.
Until the leader fainted, he did not recall what exactly he had done or where he had seen him before.
"Cheng Yi, why are you running around?" Ye Mingshang bent down and said to Cheng Yi with a cheerful smile.
Cheng Yi felt an inexplicable chill run through his body and smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing. Just suddenly... suddenly..."
"Suddenly feeling hungry, right?" Ye Mingshang continued his words.
"Hehe!" Cheng Yi laughed shyly.
Suddenly, Ye Mingshang's expression turned serious.
"You may have enjoyed your meal, but do you know that what you ate was poisonous?"
"Ah!" Cheng Yi exclaimed in surprise.
"Poisonous? Then... will I die?"
The potent poison could kill even the elders of his clan who had lived for hundreds of years, let alone a child like him.
He had seen some clan members die from accidentally ingesting poison, which terrified him.
"That's not a lethal poison. With your constitution, you might expel the toxins in a few days. However, you must not eat that kind of thing again; otherwise, you will still be poisoned."
"I can't eat it anymore~"
Thinking about that wonderful taste, Cheng Yi felt a bit reluctant.
Seeing his expression, Ye Mingshang scoffed, "The toxins in that stuff are quite strong. Although they won't be fatal, they can make life worse than death."
After saying that, Ye Mingshang pointed to Shorty, who was still screaming in agony: "Do you want to end up like him?"
"Ah!" Cheng Yi was startled.
"Huh?!" Shorty suddenly froze, thinking, "Is this about me?"
"Do you want to be as ugly as he is?"
"Ah! Is it because he is both short and ugly that he ate too much of that... that poison?" Cheng Yi asked in surprise.
"Pfft!" A sound of someone spitting blood came from somewhere.
"I'm short? I'm ugly? Please don't say that; I've worked hard to build my self-esteem!" Shorty was incredibly frustrated on the side, even forgetting the pain in his arm.
"That's right." Ye Mingshang nodded seriously.
"If you continue to eat that stuff, you'll end up just as short and ugly as him."
"Pfft!"
"What should I do then! I just ate a lot of it! I won't really become as short and ugly as him, will I?!"
"Poof!"
"Don't worry, as long as you don't eat it anymore, you'll be fine. But if you keep snacking on random things, you'll end up just as short and ugly as him."
"Poof!"
"Oh, then I won't eat randomly anymore. I don't want to end up like him; I'd rather be dead." Cheng Yi nodded obediently.
Crack!
Somewhere, it seemed like the sound of stones breaking was heard.
Shorty was completely petrified, sitting in the corner and silently crying.
"I'll draw a circle to curse you."
"Well, actually there are many delicious foods in the human world. It doesn't all have to be that kind of stuff to taste good. Once Uncle and Mengyu Aunty get married, I'll take you to try all the delicious foods in the world, okay?"
"Okay! Then Uncle Ye and Mengyu Aunty should get married soon!" Cheng Yi clapped happily.
"Alright." Ye Mingshang smiled and patted Cheng Yi's head.
Li Mengyu also slowly walked out, smiling lightly.
"What? What does 'human world' mean? Are they not human?" Shorty woke up from his daze.
"Forget it."
Seeing a few people chatting without paying attention to him, Shorty quietly sneaked over to the money box.
Taking advantage of no one watching, he grabbed the money box and ran away.
Ye Mingshang ignored him and let him escape.
According to the situation, the other party dared to kidnap him, and now he found himself in such a predicament.
In Ye Mingshang's style, he definitely wouldn't let him go so easily; there would surely be some lessons to teach.
However, revenge doesn't only involve physical confrontation.
Although he didn't know where he had seen this before, the leader was clearly terrified of him, indicating that he was aware of his capabilities and had been greatly frightened.
Thus, even with such significant losses, he didn't dare to retaliate against him.
However, feeling unsatisfied inside, he still needed an outlet for his frustrations.
Clearly, the one who had taken five hundred thousand and fled, Fellow, had become their target for revenge.
This place was so small that unless he fled to another city overnight, there was no way he could escape their pursuit.
Compared to just taking a beating, living in constant fear was evidently much more cruel.
Nevertheless, even if he did this, Ye Mingshang didn't see anything wrong with it.
While he wasn't exactly a good person, he still appreciated those with kind hearts. (To be continued.)
