Chapter 505: Chapter 399 Not Only Very Curvy but Also Rotates

"Newbie, it looks like you really have a death wish. Well, I’ll grant it."

The Deputy Minister laughed in anger, her palm about to strike down.

But immediately, she forcibly stopped her claw mid-air, her complexion uncertain as she looked towards Liu Zheng.

Or more precisely, towards the lump in his hand that had a head and horns but was indistinguishable from a glob of play-dough.

The Deputy Minister didn’t know what it was, but she could feel the immense strength contained within it.

"Deputy Minister, you pay, I do the job. It’s mutually beneficial for us to cooperate, and mutually destructive to fight. A young and promising leader like yourself should understand this principle."

Liu Zheng said.

"You don’t really think you could win against me with that, do you?"

The Deputy Minister sneered.

Though this bizarre thing felt pretty powerful, she, the Deputy Minister of the Servicing Department, wasn’t holding her position for nothing.

In other departments, becoming a leader just means having more power and a higher salary, but in the Servicing Department, it directly increases one’s chances of survival.

Therefore, the competition for a position in the Servicing Department is the fiercest within the Hundred Ghosts.

Yaoji was treated nicely by everyone precisely because she’s not planning to get promoted. If she were to aim higher, it wouldn’t matter if she had a brother-in-law at City Hall, let alone a husband; she would not escape the vicious intrigue.

"Even if I can’t kill you, I can drag this out. Take a guess, how patient do you think Guna His Excellency is?"

Liu Zheng said with a smile.

"Hmph, either way, you’re going to die."

The Deputy Minister was unmoved by his threat.

"Since I’m daring to do this, rest assured I can escape."

Liu Zheng confidently stated.

"But can you take both of them with you?"

The Deputy Minister pointed at Yaoji and Wan Zi.

"Without my help, she’s as good as dead. As for Sister Yangzi, do you have any last wishes?"

He looked towards Yaoji.

"This is my sister’s number, please take care of her."

Yaoji calmly recited a string of numbers.

"All right. If you die, I’ll ensure the Hundred Ghosts Bathhouse is buried with you, consider that a bonus."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"What a big talker. One would think you’re some big shot if they didn’t know better."

The Deputy Minister mocked.

"I’m a small fry, but I sure know quite a few big shots. Leveling Bathhouse Street might be challenging, but toppling a single bathhouse is no trouble at all."

He said calmly.

Right now, his conventional combat power might not be enough, but his unconventional destructive and survival abilities were top-notch.

Putting it bluntly, the only reason his visit to Bathhouse Street has been dragging out is that his goal is to save people.

If Seiko had already died, and Jinzi asked Liu Zheng for revenge, then this mission couldn’t get any easier.

He’d just gather some Centaurs and charge into Bathhouse Street, unleashing a barrage of ultimate moves on Hundred Ghosts, and even Granny Tang would not emerge unscathed.

A player specializing in dark arts would already be contemplating the possibility of offing Seiko around this time.

But with Liu Zheng’s character, he just can’t bring himself to do such classless acts.

Moreover, Metropolis is such a mess, it’s also possible that Jinzi knows who killed Seiko.

When playing a high-difficulty game with only one life, it’s better to play it safe and steady.

"So, you’ve really taken care of the Da Chuanliu His Excellency’s side of things?"

The Deputy Minister pondered for a moment before suddenly asking.

"I took care of half, the rest is up to Deputy Minister Liu Tong and the others."

Liu Zheng nodded.

"Is what he’s saying true?"

The Deputy Minister turned to Yaoji.

"It’s true. And he handled it on his own."

Yaoji said with a touch of pride.

"All these years, you haven’t been interested in finding a man, but when you do, you land someone like this. You sure are lucky."

The Deputy Minister said half in jest, half in earnest.

The corners of Yaoji’s mouth lifted slightly, neither confirming nor denying.

"You confident you can serve Guna His Excellency well?"

She then looked towards Liu Zheng.

"Not particularly, but since no one else is keen on it, why wouldn’t I relish the chance to clear the path for you guys?"

He glanced around at the people of the Servicing Department, many of whom subconsciously nodded.

"Okay, I agree to your terms."

The Deputy Minister’s talon descended, snatching the banknotes from his hand.

"But, you’d better come back successful or die trying. If you even think about running away, those two are dead."

She said gravely.

"No problem. I happen to be close with the Tomb Guardian of the cemetery. I’ll pick out a nice grave site for the three of us – you can lie between them."

Liu Zheng said without hesitation.

"You know the Tomb Guardian of the cemetery too?"

The Deputy Minister’s pupils shrank slightly.

She was dead set on saving money to buy a house and become a city resident, and naturally knew much more about the city than the average person from Bathhouse Street.

"What’s wrong? Thinking of buying a grave site?"

Liu Zheng seemed to sense something.

"You really know the Tomb Guardian of the cemetery?"

The Deputy Minister asked again.

"Why would I lie to you? I still owe him a coffin."

He said.

"The Tomb Guardian of the cemetery needs you to buy him a coffin?"

The Deputy Minister expressed disbelief.

"Homegrown flowers are never as fragrant as the wild ones. Besides, what kind of decent wood can grow in a cemetery? From the standpoint of feng shui, you need a coffin made of extreme yang wood to balance out the extreme yin of the burial site for good luck and prosperity."

Liu Zheng rattled off.

"Is that true or false?"

The Deputy Minister asked skeptically.

"Doubting me? Come here, let me give you a thorough lecture on dragon-searching and the methods to gather energy and wealth."

He was suddenly enthusiastic.

"Uh, no need, I’ll take your word for it."

The Deputy Minister waved it off.

Forget the fact that it was a crucial moment; even in normal times, she didn’t have the patience for such things.

"So what do you need, you want me to arrange a nice burial position for you?"

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you speak so distastefully?"
