345: Ding Teng Returns
Ding Teng looked at Qi Pengju with fire in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I can't recognize you as my master. Please change your condition."
"How can you not do it?"
Qi Pengju panicked as soon as he heard it, and he tightened his grip on the long blade.
A shallow knife mark immediately appeared on Ding Wenle's neck, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground.
He threatened again, "I don't care what method you use. If you don't recognize me as your master, I'll make your son pay with his life for us."
Just then, Ding Wenle also woke up from his coma, looked up, and cried out, "Dad, save me! They're bad uncles, beat them up!"
Ding Teng's heart ached when he saw his son covered in injuries, and hearing his son's cries now filled him with even more guilt.
If it weren't truly impossible, he might have actually agreed to recognize Qi Pengju as his master.
At this moment, he could only turn his head to look at Qin Shilei, revealing a glimmer of hope.
Qin Shilei nodded slightly, then said to Qi Pengju, "City Lord Qi, as the first person on Blue Star, I guarantee you that as long as you release his son, I will never let him harm you. How about that?"
"Not good at all."
Qi Pengju was now completely engrossed in the fantasy of subduing a powerful Zombie Emperor and rejected Qin Shilei's proposal without thinking.
Instead, he pressed Ding Teng again, "I'll give you three minutes to consider. After three minutes, if you still haven't recognized me as your master, I'll kill your son.
Anyway, I've already offended you. If you don't recognize me as your master, I truly can't rest easy.
Once you recognize me as your master, I will treat you like a brother. Together, we brothers can surely create a great legacy on Blue Star!"
Ding Teng did not reply; instead, he turned his head to look at Qin Shilei again.
The master and servant exchanged a simple glance, instantly understanding each other's intentions.
Clap!
Qin Shilei snapped his fingers, drawing the attention of Qi Pengju and the others. "I forgot to tell you something: Ding Teng has already recognized me as his boss."
Eye of Illusion Breaking Purple!
As their gazes turned to him, Qin Shilei instantly created an illusion.
Gravity Control!
Ding Teng also simultaneously set up a twenty-fold gravity field, then quickly rushed towards his son.
Qin Shilei's speed was even faster than his; he teleported in front of the group.
As he continuously moved his hands, he deflected the swords of Qi Pengju and the other two, then reached out and snatched the little boy, before flashing more than ten meters away.
After seeing his son rescued, Ding Teng no longer suppressed the anger in his heart. His hands became claws, and with one claw each, he quickly removed the heads of several people.
Then, gripping Qi Pengju's head, he sternly said, "Where is the antidote? Hand it over quickly."
Qi Pengju was like a wooden dummy, showing no response at all.
Qin Shilei quickly reached out to stop Ding Teng from using torture to extract information, then turned his head and asked, "Qi Pengju, where is the antidote? Hand it over quickly."
Qi Pengju answered with a vacant stare, "There is no antidote, because his son was not poisoned at all."
Bang!
As soon as his words fell, his head was slapped off by the enraged Ding Teng.
The headless corpse fell to the ground with a thud, blood gushing out like a spring.
"Ding Teng!" Qin Shilei glared fiercely at Ding Teng.
"What?" Ding Teng said indifferently, "They wanted to kill my son. I killed them. Isn't that what should happen?"
"Should happen my ass."
Qin Shilei pressed Ding Wenle's head against his chest. "Making it so bloody, aren't you afraid of traumatizing your son?"
Only then did Ding Teng remember that his son had been watching the recent scene. He immediately panicked, quickly snatched Ding Wenle, and walked towards the side room.
"Son, it's all Daddy's fault. Were you scared?"
"Daddy, I... I'm fine. Those were all bad uncles, they... they deserved to die," Ding Wenle said with a trembling voice.
Although Ding Teng had taken him to kill mutated beasts before, he had never killed people, nor had he seen someone's head instantly disappear like that, with the headless corpse spouting blood like a fountain.
To be honest, this scene really scared Ding Wenle.
Fortunately, after the apocalypse, Ding Wenle had seen many terrifying sights, so he didn't faint immediately.
Qin Shilei also followed him into the room.
He took out several bottles of healing potions and handed them over. "They can be used internally or externally."
"Thank you!" Ding Teng gratefully accepted the potions.
At this moment, if Qin Shilei were to look at the system panel.
He would surely find Ding Teng's loyalty constantly fluctuating, quickly climbing to 89 points before stabilizing.
A loyalty of 89 points was extremely high, meaning he would almost never betray and would be very willing to carry out all sorts of commands given by Qin Shilei.
After treatment with the healing potions, Ding Wenle's complexion finally became less pale, and he could barely walk on his own.
"Qin Shilei, thank you again!"
Ding Teng walked up to Qin Shilei and bowed.
Qin Shilei helped him up and smiled, "You are my subordinate now, so saving your son is only natural."
He took a moment to glance at the system panel and immediately noticed the sharp increase in the other party's loyalty.
After a moment of hesitation, he took out the pair of jade pendants for life sharing.
"These are purple-grade equipment that I obtained with great difficulty. Considering your deep father-son bond, I'm giving them to you. I'm not sure if you can use them."
Perhaps because he had become Qin Shilei's Contract Spirit, Ding Teng could actually see the attributes of the jade pendants.
A look of surprise instantly appeared on his face.
Soon, he and his son each dripped blood and used the jade pendants.
The jade pendants, having absorbed the fresh blood, immediately flew from their hands and merged into their respective bodies.
Under the effect of the life-sharing jade pendants, Ding Wenle completely inherited his father's super self-healing ability, and his injuries were rapidly recovering at a visible speed.
Ding Teng also thoroughly realized how precious the pair of jade pendants Qin Shilei had given him were.
He was very aware of how abnormal his own physique was. Cutting his throat, piercing his heart, or even cutting him in half at the waist, as long as he had enough time, he could slowly recover.
And with his son inheriting this physique, his safety had also increased by several levels.
Ding Teng walked up to Qin Shilei again, kneeling on one knee: "I, Ding Teng, swear in the name of the Zombie Emperor, that I will be loyal to Qin Shilei in this life and forever, never betraying!"
Qin Shilei reached out to help him up and smiled, "Brother Ding, there's no need for such ceremony. Let us two, with one heart, drive out those hateful invaders and restore peace to Blue Star."
"Master." Ding Teng said with a defiant look, "It should be, you, Qin Shilei, will eventually become the king of humanity, standing at the pinnacle of the world!
With a wave of your hand, all invaders will be annihilated!
From now on, Blue Star will become a forbidden land for creatures from other worlds; they will never dare to invade!"
"Well said!"
Qin Shilei was also somewhat influenced by the other party's words, becoming a bit childish. "You, Ding Teng, will also become the true Zombie Emperor, leading billions of zombies, and together with your Master and I, guard our Blue Star."
"Haha!" After speaking, both the master and servant couldn't help but laugh.
