Professor Noel surveyed the desolate graves where he stood, looking at the lanterns hanging upon the walls. For a moment, he could hardly sense the fairground.

Those living corpses concealed deep within the fairground had all become faintly perceptible, as though bound tightly by the yin soil and tombstones.

It was supposed to be his fairground, yet now it seemed like Jiang laoye's domain.

"This domain can forcibly cover the fairground... But this is our organization's territory, with corner authority.

This old thing is injured to such an extent yet remains so terrifying. Is this strength only the fourth-ranked plant? What are the monsters ranked ahead?"

At present, Noel stared at the headless Jiang laoye... though quite surprised that Luo Di could actually accomplish this, the situation has swiftly deteriorated.

"This old thing possesses not only a frighteningly strong physical body but also meticulous soul control! It's no surprise that Jiang Mansion's corpse refining technique is renowned within the corner; his soul proficiency surpasses other monsters.

Combining his soul with the yin energy, he can change at will, unpredictably. Possession for this old undead is as simple as breathing.

The physical body is merely a temporary vessel, severing the head doesn't affect the integrity at all.

To truly kill this old thing, one must damage his soul... Luo Di's beheading had some effect, but it's far from enough.

This old thing seems capable of attacking remotely by manipulating yin energy, yet his true goal is merely to lure us in for physical contact.

The closer we get, the more intimate the touch, the more dangerous it becomes.

No time left! Luo Di has been bitten at the most crucial part, suppressed by rank, yin energy entering his body; within three seconds, the transformation will likely be complete.

Damn it, had I known earlier to directly perform human body refining on Luo Di, this old thing wouldn't have made a bride garment out of him.

Wait... it seems there's still time!"

Professor Noel appeared to have observed something and immediately took action.

Reaching for his eye socket, he gouged out his eyeball, bringing out the root... An entire special iron tube was pulled out.

The arm holding the iron tube engraved special metal threads along certain patterns on the surface of the tube.

Aiming at Jiang laoye's head, he assumed a perfect throwing posture.

However, he didn't immediately throw it; he was acutely aware of Jiang laoye's formidable physique and knew the other was wary of his direction.

"Ordinary attacks won't work; I must find the right feeling..."

Professor Noel unexpectedly closed his eyes, readjusting his breathing.

Long immersed in study and research, he hadn't engaged in this sort of life-and-death struggle for ages, nearly forgetting the butcher's name he once bore.

At this moment, memories gradually resurfaced of when he first arrived at the corner, embracing the rampant felling alongside Mr. Rose.

Remembering the times of establishing the fairground amidst blood, fear, and flesh.

That instinct for slaughter squeezed by academic pursuits was slowly returning, yet not fully dominating him, reaching a balanced state instead.

Professor Noel tightly gripped the iron tube, performing "recreation," with special inscriptions branded on the surface of the tube, sketching out a scholarly essence.

"Luo Di, hold on a bit longer..."

Boom!

Thunder roared.

The rain slithered like worms, crawling over the windows, while the lanterns swayed wildly within.

Jiang laoye's decapitated body morphed into two parts, acting separately.

The headless flesh remained standing, guarding against attacks from any direction, ensuring the possession process proceeded perfectly.

The head hung around Luo Di's neck,

black hair scattering, the face decaying, pitch-black zombie teeth biting entirely into the carotid artery. He wasn't sucking Luo Di dry; rather, through this biting mode, achieving perfect possession.

Yin energy infused, occupying the flesh.

This act he had performed hundreds of times, as easy as breathing.

But this time, Jiang laoye encountered internal resistance for the first time.

Apart from Luo Di's conscious resistance itself,

the primary obstacle was the wax oil structure tightly covering the surface of the brain, Madam Linglong's form persistently guarding it.

As the corpse refining shop's overseer, Madam Linglong possessed profound soul perception and could barely rival laoye on a soul level.

[Inside Luo Di's skull cavity].

Filled with the essence of Jiang laoye's yin energy, like dense thunderclouds pressing into the cranial cavity, a black dragon swam back and forth in the clouds.

The brain surface, however, was firmly sealed by wax oil, resisting as much as possible against the yin energy's invasion.

For Jiang laoye to possess, he must tear open the layer of oil film.

"Madam! What do you mean by this!?

You're more aware than me that this body is the perfect vessel I've longed for. Once possessed, I will revert to my peak state, leading Jiang Mansion to deeper territories.

I've known the secrets of the dungeon's deepest layer, only I know its dangerous essence in the entire corner.

Once successful in this possession, I shall grasp a second opportunity, becoming the first to ascend in the middle layer.

At that time, I'll establish the newest and largest Jiang Mansion, and Madam, you will enjoy all the benefits."

"Benefits... like continuing to be confined within the corpse refining shop, needing approval to step out each time?"

"I'll give you one last chance! Move aside now."

"You've always intended to kill me, only hesitating due to my position as the shop's overseer.

After all, it's incredibly difficult to find a yin-yang female corpse as obedient and willing as me, staying in the Corpse Refining Shop day and night.

"You old undead, you'll die a horrible death! Luo Di will definitely kill you!"

The words before were fine, but this last sentence made Master Jiang furious, scattering the last shred of his rationality.

Although he had no feelings for this wife, he did bind her to the Corpse Refining Shop through their marital relationship. Now, this 'wife' of the Jiang Mansion, his nominal spouse, chose to stand with another man, willing to lose her life, even speaking such words.

The reason he wanted to spare her life was for just one reason.

No matter how good Luo Di's physical body was, the two could not perfectly match. Once possessed, it would still take a long time for nurturing and adaptation, and the wife, mastering the Wax Corpse Technique, was the perfect caregiver.

But now that she had spoken such words, he decided to eradicate her completely.

The Black Dragon began to descend slowly, stirring all the yin energy towards the brain's surface.

At this moment, Luo Di, who should have been unconscious, suddenly reacted.

Crackling~ Gray tentacles drilled out from the brain's surface.

"Madam... My lady... let's try to force Master Jiang out together."

Luo Di's condition was terrible. It was remarkable that he could maintain clear consciousness and resist. Typically, creatures bitten on the neck by Master Jiang had little chance of resistance, even those of the same rank.

On the Moon.

The lady in red-robe shoes had already lifted her veil, revealing the sculpted female visage formed by wax oil.

She gently held Luo Di's hand, softly speaking:

"It's impossible, Luo Di.

I really dislike that old undead, but he's truly formidable! Being bitten on the carotid artery by his main teeth means his essence has invaded completely.

No matter how we resist, we will eventually be consumed.

I promised Miss Wu Wen that if we both might die, it would definitely be me first! I will do my best to keep you alive.

My life was saved by Uncle Neck,

Since Uncle Neck is dead, I have no reason to be a slave for the Jiang Family.

My heart has long since died, in Jiang Mansion.

Though I'd love to follow you to Vortex Town to see what this unrestricted and open organization is like, unfortunately, there is no chance.

If you survive, pour my corpse oil onto that land, perhaps I can still feel it."

Luo Di's condition was terrible, feeling as if his entire being was covered in a layer of yin energy; he only caught her words in fragments.

But he sensed the emotion in them, a feeling he had seemingly heard from others before.

His shaky consciousness tried to reach out, only to find the red in front of his eyes had already faded; the lady had already walked away.

In an instant,

the wax oil covering the brain's surface suddenly surged, revealing a brilliant red!

Unexpectedly, it drenched the Black Dragon's exterior, covering its entire body and attempting to infiltrate within.

But soon,

An endless stream of yin energy swept in, peeling away these layers of wax oil and annihilating them.

Even with only the last trace of wax oil, the lady still gritted her teeth in persistence... but this persistence only delayed a few seconds.

As the wax oil dissipated,

Luo Di's brain, with its floating tentacles, was fully exposed.

The Black Dragon fell, tearing open, infusing yin energy straight to the pituitary!

The entire Moon was instantly covered in yin energy, and Master Jiang's conscious essence also descended to the Moon's surface. It was his first time seeing such a unique pituitary space.

Gray Moon,

Falling deep into space,

Strange yet so perfect, seemingly infinitely exploitable.

All the tentacles attempting to resist were torn apart; the process of possession and occupation could not be reversed subjectively.

Master Jiang quickly discovered the dungeon at the bottom of the Moon Pit, just as he was about to step inside to find Luo Di's most core hanging plant.

Buzz!

All the yin energy, along with his conscious essence, was suddenly pulled away, abruptly returning to his zombie head.

"What!!"

A sharp headache emerged, as if something was stirring his brain thoughts... a certain array was engrained on the surface of the brain, forcing his consciousness back forcefully.

Looking closely.

His headless body was completely pierced, a peculiar steel pipe inserted at his brain gate.

It was this weird steel pipe that totally interrupted the possession process, extracting his consciousness from the depths.

Thinking of this, Master Jiang's eyes widened, staring intensely at Professor Noel, who maintained a throwing posture.

Simultaneously.

Professor Noel suddenly whistled.

A specially modified gnome living corpse leapt out, its speed so fast, carrying Luo Di's flesh away quickly...
