Reading to Become a God

Because Han Shilin and Zhou Yue consumed a lot of physical energy in the battle, Ye Chen took them to settle down in a broken house in order to allow them to recover.

Ye Chen went outside to find some food, baked it and distributed it to the three of them. By the next morning, Han Shilin and Zhou Yue had almost recovered, and they said to Ye Chen:

"Let's go back to Danta now."

Seeing that the two of them were still a little tired, Ye Chen said, "Don't you need to rest for another day or two?"

Zhou Yue said: "No need, I feel like I've almost recovered in one night. Oops——"

Zhou Yue screamed. It turned out that when he moved his body, the wound tore open again.

Han Shilin said: "Stay here. It's hard to rest without food or drink. It's better to go back first. There's nothing wrong with this injury. Oops——"

Han Shilin also shouted, and like Zhou Yue, he also tore the wound.

Seeing this, Ye Chen smiled and said, "Are you okay with this?"

Although Ye Chen thought they should cultivate for another day or two, these two people refused to stay, so Ye Chen had no choice but to follow them back to the Dan Pagoda.

The three of them set out on the road together. Not long after walking, they met the Avengers again. Ye Chen snapped his fingers and said:

"Leave it to me!" He strode forward and said to those golden-armored corpses: "Leave it to you!"

Those golden-armored corpses rushed up and beat the Avengers away. Zhou Yue looked at Envy and said:

"Brother, can you give us one of those corpses?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I'm afraid you can't control them."

After that, Ye Chen easily eliminated all the Avengers along the way.

After walking for several days, the three finally reached the boundary of Danta. When Zhou Yue and Han Shilin saw the familiar road monument, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts and said:

"This journey was so thrilling, I almost couldn't come back."

Han Shilin asked Ye Chen, "Aren't you afraid of scaring people if you zombies go in like this?"

Ye Chen thought it was a problem, so he covered their faces with cloth. However, they still caused quite a stir when they went to a crowded place.

Han Shilin said to Ye Chen: "Fortunately, I have been taken care of by you along the way. We are now going to find the master to reply. You can come with us."

Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed. He didn't want to see Han Shilin's master, so he said:

"I'll find a place to live here. You can come back to me after you reply, okay."

"Why don't you come with me?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I can't tell you why, I just want to find a house."

"Then I'll go look for it with you."

Ye Chen took the corpse with him. He didn't dare to stay in an inn for fear of scaring people, so he found an empty house far away from the crowd. The landlady was a thin and tricky woman, but she was a little worried when she saw the masked corpses. She said to Ye Chen:

"You guys...don't do those things, right?"

"What are those things?" Ye Chen didn't understand.

The landlady said carefully: "A murderer and a shoplifter? If so... you must spare me?"

Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Of course we are not doing those things."

"Then why do they cover their faces?" the landlady said, pointing to the corpse.

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll scare you."

"Go," the landlady said in disbelief, "You think I've never seen anything before, how can you scare me?"

"You are not afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, ah——!"

The landlady screamed and fell straight to the ground. It turned out that Ye Chen suddenly pulled off the mask of one of the corpses.

Zhou Yue laughed loudly on the side, and Han Shilin said:

"Okay now, I scared her unconscious, what should I do now?"

This scare made Ye Chen almost pay for the entire house before he could move in. The landlady walked out of the room in fear. Ye Chen walked at the door and shouted to her: "Go slowly."

It would have been fine if I didn't mention it, but once I did, the landlady ran away crying.

Han Shilin watched the landlady walk away, and then said to Ye Chen: "You live here, do you want to buy something back?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "I don't know how long we will stay here. Just wait and buy some food. When will you come back?"

"Half a day." Zhou Yue answered first.

Han Shilin glanced at Zhou Yue, thought for a moment, and then said, "It shouldn't take long. If nothing happens, it will only take a few hours."

"Okay then, I'll wait for you here."

Han Shilin nodded and left with Zhou Yue.

As soon as Han Shilin left, Ye Chen felt a little lonely, so he found a stool in the living room and sat down, and then said to the seven corpses:

"I only have you left. Please take off the cloth from your face."

The seven golden-armored corpses took off the cloth one after another. Ye Chen said again: "Would you like something to eat?"

One ghoul said "meat", and the other ghouls also said "meat". Ye Chen smiled and said to them: "Well, there is still time anyway, you stay in the house, don't go out to scare people."

Ye Chen came to the market in Danta. After eating and drinking, he went around to play, but time seemed to pass very slowly, and he didn't want to go back and stay alone with the corpses. In order to kill time, he wandered around until the sun turned west. Calculating the time, he thought that Han Shilin would come back to him soon, so he bought two large bags of meat in a hotel.

When Ye Chen returned to his residence, he thought Han Shilin would be waiting for him at the door. Unexpectedly, when he returned, the corpses looked at him eagerly. It looked like he had been waiting for his meat for a long time. Ye Chen threw the meat on the table and walked out to wait for Han Shilin.

At this time, the sun was setting, the tired birds were returning to their nests, and the colorful clouds in the sky looked beautiful. Ye Chen couldn't help but want to watch such a beautiful scene with Han Shilin. However, the sun went down, the colorful clouds disappeared, and the stars in the sky came out, but he still didn't see Han Shilin coming back.

Suddenly, a voice behind him said, "Are you feeling very sad?"

Ye Chen looked back and saw that it was a golden-armored corpse ghost talking to him. The golden-armored corpse ghost continued, "You said you would come back soon, but the stars are out and you haven't come yet. I understand your pain."

"What are you doing there!" Ye Chen said loudly, "Don't bother me with my business."

"Alas~", the golden-armored corpse ghost continued, "If you are lonely tonight, you can come to my bed."

"Bang"

With a loud bang, Ye Chen kicked the corpse ghost back into the house. But he did feel a little lost and a little worried.

Ye Chen waited until the night was cool before returning to the house to find a room for himself. There was a musty smell in the room, and there was only one bed in it, with a mat on the bed but no quilt. Ye Chen didn't think anything of it. He just found a piece of wood as a pillow and lay down on the bed.

Not long after he lay down, Ye Chen suddenly felt that the air around him was a little disordered. He immediately sat up from the bed. Soon he realized that many strong men appeared around his house.
