Zhou Ze felt something soft pressing against his chest. He looked down and saw a pair of bright little eyes staring back at him.

Even though they had been sleeping together for a long time,

this was the first time the human and beast had made eye contact.

It felt like buying a ticket after already getting on the bus.

Zhou Ze didn't know what it was,

but he could guess that it was probably this creature who had helped him cut through the vines earlier.

The flower fox ferret was also staring at Zhou Ze,

Zhou Ze tilted his head to the left,

and the flower fox ferret tilted its head to the left,

Zhou Ze tilted his head to the right,

and the flower fox ferret mirrored him.

Um…

What

should he do next?

Just then,

Hei Xiaoniu, Yingying, and Xu Qinglang finally arrived. Everyone had been at the location where the explosives were planted, and even after receiving An attorney's signal, it still took some time to get down here.

"Boss!"

Yingying was almost weeping with joy when she saw Zhou Ze was awake.

Her mind was filled with nothing but going back to Tong City with her boss.

This trip to Yunnan

had been too tumultuous.

It made Yingying miss her days in Tong City even more.

Although things in Tong City were never calm,

it wasn't as wild as it was in Yunnan, not even giving her a moment to catch her breath!

The boss used to come back seriously injured from his adventures all the time, and she was even used to taking care of him, but no matter how wild the boss got before, he had never been struck by lightning, had he?

Xu Qinglang grabbed Yingying's wrist, stopping her from approaching Zhou Ze. His eyes were fixed on the little creature on Zhou Ze's chest.

It was it,

it was definitely it!

Xu Qinglang focused on its little paws,

because he had only seen its paws clearly at close range before.

An attorney was still coughing up blood, truly wanting to cry but not daring to complain, not even daring to shout.

To put it bluntly,

the one on the boss's chest

wasn't a pet, at least not yet.

It wasn't a helper, and it certainly wasn't a friend.

If that thing went berserk,

with everyone in the bookstore injured,

it really had the power to bury them all here!

The scene

fell silent.

Zhou Ze was just staring at the flower fox ferret in front of him, not daring to do anything else. Was he supposed to pet its head?

Actually, the most important thing was that Zhou Ze saw a kind of "indifference" in the flower fox ferret's eyes.

It wasn't really close to him,

nor was it love at first sight.

Maybe, in its eyes, he wasn't even alive, just fun to play with or good to lie on?

So, acting all cute and cuddly and treating it like a pet at this time would be the most foolish and naive thing to do.

At this moment,

Zhou Ze was like a character in a bomb disposal movie, not the one defusing the bomb, but the extra who was tied to a ticking time bomb.

But,

the tree desires calm, but the wind won't stop.

Zhou Ze had originally planned to lie still like this until he thought of a definite solution,

but

the vines that had just been cut off actually started to grow again inside his body.

The feeling of those little sprouts pushing, bumping, and charging inside him

was unbearable for Boss Zhou.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably,

as if his whole body had become a beehive, with hardworking little bees frantically building their own maze.

The flower fox ferret seemed very unhappy with Zhou Ze's writhing. In its opinion, its bed should be stable and comfortable.

It raised its paw,

and if this paw landed,

Boss Zhou would probably really be finished here.

In fact, no special circumstances occurred. Boss Zhou didn't have the ability to make a great demon bow down with a single tremor of his body.

The paw

came down!

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

The vines beneath him grew out,

flinging Zhou Ze away.

The paw landed where he had been lying,

and a muffled sound echoed.

A dent actually appeared where Zhou Ze had been lying.

Humans have spirits, and plants have their own sense of danger. Just now, the plant inside Zhou Ze had instinctively dodged.

It was a ridiculous scene.

The one that wanted to save him before now wanted to kill him, and the one that wanted to kill him before now wanted to save him.

The actors on the stage were casually switching roles, and no one cared about what would happen to Boss Zhou, the background tree.

But,

at least at this moment,

the flower fox ferret had finally separated from Zhou Ze and was no longer on top of him.

The flower fox ferret's eyes darted around, seemingly very unhappy that its bed had grown legs and run away.

Its figure flashed,

and it disappeared from the spot,

its speed

was truly astonishing.

Vines appeared in front of Zhou Ze, forming a green line of defense. However, this line of defense was quickly torn apart. The flower fox ferret's terrifying speed and attack power were once again on full display.

But,

the vines in front of Zhou Ze quickly grew back after being torn apart, trying to protect him in this continuous manner.

In that green solution earlier, this plant had stored a lot of corpse poison by relying on Zhou Ze. In fact, most of the corpse poison was instinctively absorbed by the one still sleeping inside Zhou Ze's body.

The remaining small portion was intercepted by this plant. Boss Zhou, the person involved, was left with nothing. He might have just handled it and earned a tiny bit of interest, not even enough to cover the handling fee. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

"Help me stop it!"

Zhou Ze shouted.

This feeling of not being completely in control of his own body and his own situation was truly terrible. He couldn't allow himself to continue to be helpless.

Most importantly,

he really didn't think

the plant in his body could really stop this flower fox ferret.

"You, help the boss control that plant. The rest of you, stop that ferret!"

At this point,

they had no choice but to step up, even if they had to bite the bullet.

An attorney really hated this feeling.

As a scheming man of the world, he hated all this charging forward with adrenaline-fueled enthusiasm. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to play games, scheme, and stay behind the scenes like immortals?

Did they really have to be so headstrong and confrontational?

But circumstances were stronger than people. An attorney's skeletal hand emitted a pink mist, but just as he was about to use this mist to envelop the ferret, the flower fox ferret suddenly moved.

At this speed,

An attorney wouldn't be able to catch up even if he added a jet engine to his pink mist!

Yingying, with her white hair and cold eyes, didn't care at all about the wounds on both sides of her shoulders. After exchanging a glance with the little boy, the two of them attacked from both sides.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Qinglang took out talismans and scattered them like a goddess strewing flowers. He really had too many of these low-level talismans, and they were perfect for this situation.

Although they had engaged, everyone knew that the two zombies might be able to withstand a few blows, but Xu Qinglang and An attorney were in a fragile state.

Just a graze

would probably be fatal.

Taking advantage of the brief moment that the flower fox ferret was distracted,

Zhou Ze looked at Hei Xiaoniu on the side.

Hei Xiaoniu immediately formed hand seals and pulled backward as if in a tug-of-war!

"Hiss…"

It felt like an entire layer of skin was being torn off.

Vines were pulled out of the wounds on Zhou Ze's body,

and they even formed a human shape!

The humanoid vine instinctively resisted, wanting to continue to burrow into Zhou Ze's body. Zhou Ze was its root, the foundation for it to absorb nutrients, so naturally it didn't want to give up.

And because it had grown too thick inside Zhou Ze's body, even Hei Xiaoniu, the "farmer," was having trouble controlling it.

Zhou Ze staggered, feeling empty. His body was truly being hollowed out!

But he gritted his teeth and didn't fall.

Xu Qinglang immediately rushed over, picked up Zhou Ze without saying a word, and ran out.

At this time, it wouldn't be a loss as long as they could save Zhou Ze!

However,

the flower fox ferret, which had been entangled with the two zombies, saw that its bed was about to be stolen and immediately let out a cry.

"Buzz!"

With a crisp sound,

it actually broke through the encirclement of the two zombies,

heading straight for Xu Qinglang, who was carrying Zhou Ze.

And its eyes were red,

obviously with murderous intent!

An attorney's heart sank.

It was over!

"Ah!"

Hei Xiaoniu screamed and fell to the ground, exhausted. The humanoid vine, which had been suppressed by her, rushed towards Zhou Ze at an extremely fast speed.

Boss Zhou had truly become everyone's precious treasure.

"Bang!"

Xu Qinglang felt the world spinning,

spinning so fast,

After crashing heavily to the ground, he wanted to get up, but he felt intense pain all over his body, and there was a terrifying claw mark on his chest.

And where Xu Qinglang had been,

Zhou Ze,

the flower fox ferret,

and the humanoid vine

were actually connected.

Everyone had been traveling in pairs before, but now it had become a trio.

This all happened in an instant.

The humanoid vine, like someone extremely thirsty, immediately pierced its vines into Zhou Ze as soon as it made contact.

It

wanted to go home!

This decisiveness, this coincidence, even the flower fox ferret couldn't react in time.

But then,

both it and Zhou Ze groaned.

The sharp tentacles of the humanoid vine even pierced through the flower fox ferret, which meant that Zhou Ze and the flower fox ferret were skewered together like candied hawthorns by the humanoid vine.

"Jijijiji!!!"

The flower fox ferret was stunned at first,

but soon let out a shrill scream.

On the other hand, Zhou Ze had the experience of being entered before,

so although it hurt, he could still bear it.

But the flower fox ferret's cry was a bit too miserable,

and

it actually gave up all resistance.

It clearly possessed the ability to tear the vines apart with one blow,

but at this time, it only knew how to scream foolishly and forgot to do anything else.

Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked at the flower fox ferret clinging to him,

seeing that its watery eyes were filled with pitiful tears.

Those helpless little eyes

were truly heartbreaking.

At the same time,

Zhou Ze confirmed a very absurd thing,

and that was,

such a powerful great demon,

it,

it,

it was actually afraid of pain!
