"Chief Che, I'll help you hold off your master."
"You hold off the madam's Flesh Puppet... try to last until the second madam arrives!"
Zhao Yi pulled out the Bloodstained Scalpel.
His eyes gradually filled with excitement.

...
The master, being a zombie, had immense combat power, but now his heart had been taken by the madam, so his movements were sluggish!
The Paper Chief was entangled with the madam, and Zhao Yi leaped forward, his scalpel spinning in his hand, leaving a shallow cut on the zombie's body!
The zombie's defense was extremely abnormal, almost ignoring the physical damage from Zhao Yi's scalpel.
Luckily, the chaos damage ignored resistance, otherwise, the Plunderer wouldn't be able to parasitize on the master!
With the Plunderer, Zhao Yi's margin for error increased significantly!
The master had little consciousness, especially after being deprived of his heart, and most of his reactions were purely instinctual.
As he adapted to his heartless body, his speed increased, and before long, he found an opening in Zhao Yi's defense, delivering a powerful punch!
Bang!
Zhao Yi blocked with both arms, the sound of bones cracking accompanied by intense pain!
Yet, there was no sign of pain on Zhao Yi's face; instead, he grew even more excited!
He retreated a few steps, his arm injuries slowly healing.
The battle on Chief Che's side was even more brutal!
Facing the madam who now possessed her own heart, it was clear that Chief Che was at a significant disadvantage!
Moreover, Chief Che was already injured before, and soon, the Paper Chief was covered in cracks and bloodstains, feeling like it could shatter into pieces at any moment with a gust of wind!
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Yet it still held tightly onto its guandao, refusing to let go!
Standing tall!
Just as it had followed the master across the battlefield in life, covered in scars, fighting bloodily!
Chief Che's martial skills were not even half of the master's, but his fervor never wavered until death!
After a brief respite, the man, the corpse, and the two ghosts clashed again!
The pressure on Zhao Yi's side increased, and after three minutes, he canceled his persona injection, unable to handle many details better.
However, his learning ability was strong, and he began to adapt to the zombie's attack rhythm, relying on the life force provided by the Plunderer to endure against the zombie master!
Even so, his injuries grew more severe!
"Jie jie jie!"
"Weak and pitiful worm... what's the use of struggling?"
"In the face of absolute power, everything is an illusion!"
The Flesh Puppet let out a chilling laugh, seizing the opportunity to tear off one of the Paper Chief's arms holding the blade, then its nails emitted a faint green glow, slicing through the Paper Chief's neck, and Chief Che's head flew off...
Its body finally collapsed.
And the madam's Flesh Puppet turned its gaze toward Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi's eyes were cold, black blood veins faintly appearing on his skin.
Though the cost was heavy, if necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to unleash his Dark Persona to clear the field.
He hadn't done so because the situation was still under his control.
Calculating the time, Luo Qili should be arriving soon.
Sure enough...
Just as the madam was about to make a move on Zhao Yi, two ghostly figures suddenly floated over from afar!
The madam sensed them, her head twisting 180 degrees in a bizarre manner, staring at the two murderous ghostly figures!
They were the two guards the master had given to the second madam!
They were exceptionally fierce, immediately engaging in a fierce struggle with the madam!
"I'm back!"
Luo Qili and the second madam came running breathlessly in this direction.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, with a deep wound on her back, Zhao Yi knew she must have encountered those two ghosts loyal to the madam halfway.
"Ran into a little trouble just now... damn! Chief's gone?!"
She didn't have time to complain to Zhao Yi about the horrors she encountered before seeing Chief Che's headless body lying motionless in a pool of blood on the ground...
Zhao Yi's gaze passed over Luo Qili, looking at the sorrowful second madam, and said:
"Madam, at this point, you have no choice."
"If you truly still feel grateful for the master's kindness, then help us eliminate this Flesh Puppet and let the master rest in peace!"
Su Mei's delicate face was full of grief, she sighed deeply, and laughed bitterly:
"It's all my fault..."
"If I hadn't been attached to the master, hadn't followed his instructions to burn his body and bury my sister's heart, the master and sister wouldn't have ended up like this..."
"Now not only has Chief Che been implicated, but the entire Wang family has been dragged down..."
"I... am the Wang family's sinner..."
The two guards were no match for the madam, and after a brief entanglement, they were reaching their limit.
The second madam suddenly stepped forward, embracing the zombie master.
The zombie surprisingly calmed down.
Moments later, Su Mei unbuttoned her thick clothing.
Her body, which should have been flawless, was now mostly decayed!
Her eyes were filled with deep affection, one hand caressing the zombie master's cheek, tears falling.
"Master, it must hurt without a heart, right?"
"Mei'er will give you one."
"That way, master won't hurt anymore..."
With that, Su Mei reached into her chest and pulled out her own heart!
Then, trembling, she placed it into the hole in the zombie's chest.
The bloody heart quickly merged with the zombie, and the master's chaotic eyes gradually cleared...
He held the collapsing Su Mei, but the light in her eyes was quickly fading.
"Love is mutual..."
Su Mei softly hummed in the zombie's ear, her gaze lingering, her voice barely audible.
She clearly remembered,
That was the song she hummed when she first met Wang Zhan while working as a courtesan in the High-class Brothel.
If time could stop at that moment, it wouldn't be so bad.
Life, if only at first sight...
Su Mei's lips curled into a slight smile, life extinguished.
Blood tears fell from the zombie's eyes.
Dripping onto Su Mei's chest.
He slowly stood up, looking at the madam's Flesh Puppet that had torn the two maidservants into a bloody mist, his fists clenched, eyes blood-red!
"I treated you well... never saw you as a puppet..."
"Even... willing to give you my own heart..."
"Why... did you do this to me?"
At this moment, the madam had completely fused with her heart, no longer a puppet, but a terrifying corpse ghost!
Her aura surged, her nails and lips coated in a strange crimson, letting out a chilling laugh.
Filled with intense resentment!
"How ridiculous..."
"Never saw me as a puppet?"
"In your eyes, I was just a substitute..."
"The entire mansion, big and small, up and down, no one acknowledged my existence..."
"Do you really care about me?"
"No!"
"You only care about Fang Qian, about that dead... bitch!!"
"Let me tell you, old man... I am not Fang Qian!"
"I..."
"Am your... nightmare!!!"
