89: Song Zhong is petrified! (Additional update for those who listen to the book on a whim, 4/8)

“A price? What price?” The Snake Woman looked at the man in front of her, suddenly feeling the atmosphere was off. “Didn’t Whisper tell you to come save me?”

“Whisper? Heh heh, I don’t know that person!” Song Zhong squatted in front of the Snake Woman, looking at her with a smile.

“You’re not from the Ancient God Church?”

The Snake Woman immediately grew wary. If he wasn’t from the Ancient God Church, then where was the reinforcement Whisper arranged?

“I never said I was!”

The Snake Woman pondered for a moment. “I understand. Since you saved me, I can introduce you to the Ancient God Church and you can become a member of the believers.”

Since the other party wanted her to pay a price, she might as well guide him to join the Ancient God Church.

As a combat force in the Sea Realm, he was also a rare resource.

Who knew Song Zhong would shake his head. “What I’m asking is, what price are you prepared to pay?”

The Snake Woman’s gaze turned cold, and Medusa’s God Ruins instantly erupted, their eyes meeting.

In an instant, an eerie Curse filled the underground cave.

Crack!

Song Zhong began to turn to stone, starting from his eyes, little by little.

From beginning to end, Song Zhong did not resist at all.

Since joining the Ancient God Church didn't attract the other party, he must be after her, and such a person deserved to die.

Looking at the completely petrified man, the Snake Woman’s lips curved into a sinister smile. “What about the Sea Realm? Anyone who dares to meet Medusa’s gaze will only end up petrified.”

After speaking, a snake fang appeared in the Snake Woman’s hand.

The Snake Woman swung the snake fang, smashing it directly onto the stone statue.

Clink!

The stone statue immediately cracked, the sound as pleasant as wind chimes.

This was the sound the Snake Woman loved to hear most, as if she were smashing exquisite porcelain pieces.

“A price? Have you considered what price you will pay?”

The Snake Woman looked at the cracked stone statue and suddenly froze.

Water seeped out from the cracks in the stone statue.

How could there be water inside? If someone was targeted by Medusa’s gaze, their entire body would turn into a stone statue; how could there still be water inside their body?

Suddenly, a hand gripped the Snake Woman’s neck from behind.

A suffocating sensation immediately filled the Snake Woman’s mind. Was she going to die?

Hiss! Hiss!

The Snake Woman’s hair immediately turned into venomous snakes, but every time they bit, Song Zhong’s wounds would instantly heal.

“Heh heh! Attacking your savior is very ungrateful.”

The Snake Woman was truly panicked. Her neck was clamped tightly by Song Zhong, and she couldn't turn her head at all. “Sir… sir, let’s talk this over.”

“Alright, then let me tell you, the price I want is…”

Song Zhong didn't continue speaking. His left hand’s fingers had already touched the Snake Woman’s left eye.

“Ah!”

A scream came from the Snake Woman’s mouth, and the venomous snakes, like deflated balloons, instantly retracted.

The Snake Woman lay painfully on the ground, covering her left eye with both hands, muddy-colored blood continuously gushing from her eye socket.

Song Zhong toyed with the Snake Woman’s eyeball. The eyeball was completely different from a human eye; after leaving the body, it transformed into a round crystal ball, stained with some muddy-colored blood.

He was in a good mood, and continued what he had just said, “The price I want is your left eye.”

Song Zhong kicked the nearby stone statue, shattering it. “I knew you had the ability to petrify others, so I made a water Clone to talk to you. I didn’t expect you to be so dishonorable and actually attack me.”

Her left eye was gouged out, the pain like a jackhammer drilling a hole in her heart.

The Snake Woman’s Divine Power was concentrated in those eyes; it could be said that this pair of eyes was more important than any other organ to her.

But now, one had been directly dug out.

“Who exactly are you? Are you a Night Watcher?”

The Snake Woman’s voice became hoarse due to the pain. She was certain that this guy was definitely not from the Ancient God Church.

Then, the only ones who dared to attack the Ancient God Church were the Night Watchers.

But when did such a killing god appear among the Night Watchers, and he even saved her?

Wait!

Medusa suddenly thought of something. “Are you also an Evil God Agent?”

She was very scared now. The other party had already dug out her eye, who knew what he would do next?

If the other party was a pervert like her, who enjoyed torturing and killing…

Goosebumps rose on the Snake Woman’s body, and fear quietly emerged.

“Evil God Agent?” Song Zhong seriously considered the question. He thought about the identities of those in his System. “I’m so reasonable, how could I be an Evil God Agent?”

The Snake Woman’s expression froze. “Then what exactly do you want to do?”

Song Zhong looked at the Snake Woman with an expression like she was an idiot. “It’s this!”

After speaking, he held the eyeball and dangled it in front of the Snake Woman’s eyes.

Suddenly, Song Zhong remembered something and pulled out a pink lace heart-shaped eye patch from his pocket.

“Here, for you. I know you girls love beauty. Losing an eye will definitely affect your appearance, so I specially bought you an eye patch out of my own pocket. Don’t worry, it’s a free gift, no charge.”

The Snake Woman looked at the eye patch thrown on the ground. She wanted to lose her temper, but she didn’t dare.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked, “You’re not going to kill me?”

Song Zhong put on an innocent expression. “Do I look like a bloodthirsty person?”

A big question mark appeared in the Snake Woman’s mind. Don’t you?

“Heh heh! Just kidding.” Song Zhong showed a kind smile. “If I had to give a reason, I’ll temporarily keep your right eye. Who knows, I might need it sometime.”

The Snake Woman’s hanging heart completely died. Listen, is that even human speech?

That’s my eye, when did it become your eyeball extraction machine?

However, the other party’s tone didn't seem to be joking. The Snake Woman said fiercely, “If you don’t kill me, you’ll regret it.”

“Oh really? Then I’m looking forward to it!” A hint of crimson flashed in Song Zhong’s eyes. “It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced regret.”

…

Above ground, Han Shaoyun looked at the long spear plunged into his chest, his eyes once again falling into a trance.

“It’s good to die by your hand, Qingqing!”

His voice was very weak. During the encirclement of Han Shaoyun, he didn’t resist at all, just quietly waiting for death.

Chen Muye also didn’t waste words, letting Hong Ying deliver the fatal blow.

This man had always lived in repentance, and the helpless Han Shaoyun had always been in pain.

Death had begun its countdown. At this moment, Han Shaoyun’s consciousness cleared.

“Finally, am I going to die?”

He had longed for death, and today his wish was finally granted.

But why? A hint of unwillingness arose deep within his heart?

The creator of all his suffering, Whisper, was still living well.

Long-suppressed anger and resentment quietly rose in Han Shaoyun’s heart.

At the same time, as if sensing something, Song Zhong suddenly looked up towards the top of the cave, precisely in Han Shaoyun’s direction.

“What heavy resentment!”

After speaking, Song Zhong jumped into the underground river, leaving the Snake Woman alone there.
