79: Chapter 79 Dare to touch my advisor? You're asking for death!

"Boss... what... what's wrong?"

Liu Waner, who was devouring her food nearby, was startled, forgetting to chew the half-bun in her mouth.

It was her first time seeing Su Yang wear such a terrifying expression.

Those eyes, which usually held a hint of playfulness, were now as cold as two unsheathed ice blades.

"It's nothing. Some idiot who doesn't know their place has touched someone of mine."

Su Yang stood up and casually threw away his broken chopsticks.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging killing intent in his heart.

Come to think of it, he really owed Ye Yuqing.

Ever since he helped her solve her trouble at school last time, he had been busy dealing with the Li family from Hong Kong Island, then the Painted Skin demon case, and upon returning, he had to clear wasteland and farm...

He had been so busy he had completely forgotten about this beautiful Counselor.

"She's just a weak woman, and staying in that school filled with Yin Qi to work as a Counselor was already asking for trouble. Now, it's even worse—she's become a bargaining chip for others to use against me."

Su Yang narrowed his eyes.

"It seems that after I rescue her this time, I can't let her go back to that school."

"It just so happens that my business is growing, and with female ghosts and zombies in this Agency, I need a clear-headed housekeeper who can manage the accounts."

"Ye Yuqing is meticulous and highly educated; wouldn't it be perfect to let her manage the accounts for me?"

Having made up his mind, Su Yang turned to look at Mary, who was wiping her mouth.

"Mary, stop eating. Come with me."

"Where to? To kill someone?"

Mary's eyes lit up. She instantly threw away the fried dough stick in her hand and elegantly wiped her mouth, her blood-red eyes flashing with excitement.

"No, to save someone."

Su Yang sneered and strode outside.

"And by the way... clean house."

West of the city, an abandoned chemical plant.

This place was originally an industrial hub in Jiangzhou.

It was shut down later due to severe pollution and had been abandoned for over a decade.

Rusty pipes coiled in the air above the plant area like dead giant pythons.

The air was filled with the pungent smell of residual chemical agents and rotting rust.

Inside the main workshop, a massive industrial meat grinder emitted a teeth-grinding "creak, creak" sound.

The huge gears turned slowly and steadily, like a steel mouth waiting to devour someone.

Above the meat grinder, Ye Yuqing was suspended in mid-air, her hands tied by a thick hemp rope.

She was wearing her signature professional attire, but her stockings were torn, and one of her high heels had fallen off.

She was unconscious, and her face was as pale as paper.

If that rope were to snap, she would instantly fall into the meat grinder below and turn into a pile of minced meat.

"Hehehe..."

A half-human, half-ghost monster squatted on the beam next to the meat grinder, letting out a perverted laugh.

It was Wang Sen, who had swallowed the ghost king gu.

He no longer looked like the elite CEO he once was.

His height had surged to over two meters, bursting his suit.

His exposed skin was a bizarre purplish-blue, covered in black veins, and a row of ferocious bone spurs had sprouted from his back.

The most terrifying part was his face.

One half still looked human, while the other had turned into a green-faced, fanged demon.

Drool dripped from the corner of his mouth, making a sizzling corrosive sound as it hit the metal plate on the ground.

"Su Yang... why haven't you come yet..."

"I'm so hungry... I want to eat your flesh..."

Wang Sen extended his clawed hand, gently toying with the rope holding Ye Yuqing.

"Such a beautiful Young Miss, it would be a pity if she really turned into minced meat."

"BOOM!!!"

Just then, the heavy iron door of the workshop was suddenly blasted open from the outside by force!

The entire iron door flew in like a cannonball, slamming heavily into the wall beside the meat grinder, shaking the entire workshop.

As the dust settled, two figures appeared at the doorway.

"Since you think it's a pity, why don't you jump in and taste it yourself?"

Su Yang, hands in his pockets, stepped over the debris and walked in slowly.

Behind him, Mary bowed slightly, holding a rusty wrench she had just swiped from the factory entrance, looking at the surrounding environment with a face full of disdain.

"SU! YANG!"

Seeing his enemy appear, Wang Sen let out a beastly roar, his single eye erupting with bone-deep hatred.

"You're finally here!!"

"I've waited so long for you!"

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Su Yang stopped, looked Wang Sen up and down, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"I say, President Wang, you were at least a decent person, how did you end up in this state?"

"You looked weak before, but at least you looked like a human."

"What is this now? A Resident Evil mutant?"

"Shut up!!"

Wang Sen roared, yanking the rope in his hand.

"This is all thanks to you!!"

"Now, I want to watch you see your woman turn into minced meat with your own eyes!!"

Snap!

The rope broke instantly!

Ye Yuqing, who was unconscious, lost support and plummeted straight toward the fast-spinning meat grinder below!

"Ah—"

Stimulated by the sensation of weightlessness, Ye Yuqing woke up with a start.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the terrifying steel gears magnifying before her, and she let out a desperate scream in fear.

"Mary!"

Su Yang's eyes sharpened; he didn't even turn around.

"Understood."

Mary's figure instantly vanished from where she stood.

Fast!

So fast that even an afterimage couldn't be seen!

Just as Ye Yuqing's hair was about to touch the meat grinder's gears, a slender yet powerful arm steadily caught her waist.

"Whoosh—"

A dizzying spin.

When Ye Yuqing opened her eyes again, she found that she had left the terrifying meat grinder.

She was being carried bridal-style by a beautiful foreign girl in a maid outfit and had landed steadily on a high platform nearby.

"Are you okay, beautiful Young Miss?"

Mary winked at her.

Those blood-red eyes held a hint of teasing.

"My master said that if you lose even a single hair, he'll cut off my blood rations."

"You... you are..."

Ye Yuqing was still shaken and hadn't fully processed what happened.

"Don't be afraid, I'm on your side."

Mary set her down and pointed below.

"Look who's here."

Ye Yuqing turned to look.

She saw, in the center of the dim workshop, the figure she had been thinking about day and night, yet also hated so much that it made her teeth itch, standing alone facing the terrifying monster.

"Su Yang..."

Ye Yuqing's tears instantly welled up and spilled over.

"Yuqing, don't cry."

Su Yang looked up at her, offering a smile that put her at ease.

"It won't look good if you ruin your face with tears. My Agency happens to be short on a lady boss to manage the accounts; I think you're quite suitable."

"Don't be that lousy Counselor anymore. Hang out with me; I'll provide food, lodging, and even a boyfriend."

"You... at a time like this, you're still making jokes!"

Ye Yuqing laughed through her tears.

The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Scoundrel! How dare you ignore me!!"

Wang Sen, left on the side, completely went berserk.

He felt insulted to the extreme!

"Since you saved her, then you go down and fill its belly yourself!!"

Boom!

Wang Sen kicked off with both legs, and the beam beneath his feet instantly snapped.

Like a heavy bomb, he descended from the sky with a violent gust of wind.

That huge, bone-spur-covered ghost claw smashed fiercely toward the top of Su Yang's head!

The power of this strike was enough to crush a tank!

"Too slow."

Facing this mountain-crushing blow, Su Yang couldn't even be bothered to dodge.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, formed a fist, and as his internal Golden Core spun, a layer of faint golden light enveloped his fist.

"Since you've turned into this ghostly state, then I will... send you back to your hometown!"

"Baji: Collapse!"

BOOM!!!

A large and a small fist collided fiercely in the air.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The next second.

Crack—!!

A bone-chilling sound of bones fracturing rang out.

Wang Sen's huge ghost claw, as if made of paper, shattered inch by inch starting from the fingertips, all the way to his shoulder!

"Ahhh—!!!"

Wang Sen let out a blood-curdling scream, flying backward like a broken sack, slamming heavily into the operating meat grinder!

"Sizzle, sizzle—"

The meat grinder emitted a hair-raising grinding sound, and black blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

"No! Impossible! I have the power of the Ghost King... how could I lose..."

Only half of Wang Sen's body remained, struggling outside, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.

"Ghost King?"

Su Yang walked to the meat grinder, looking down at him from above, his eyes cold as knives.

"In front of me, even gods must kneel."

"Let alone a half-human, half-ghost... mongrel like you."
