Chapter 369: Bai Has Returned from the Dead

~8 min read 1,446 words

Bai Wei stood to the side, a trace of a smile appearing on her face.

That's it!

The strong laxatives and sleeping pills she had administered were now taking effect!

Attacking on two fronts, both purging and inducing sleep—that should be enough to make these Fusang People suffer.

Yamada Ichiro looked up, saw Bai Wei's half-smiling expression, and suddenly realized what had happened.

He roared furiously, "Was it you? It must have been you who tampered with our food."

After saying this, he drew his gun and pointed it at her.

Zhou Yanli also looked over subconsciously, his brows suddenly knitting together.

"It's you? What are you doing here?"

The situation was critical, and Bai Wei could no longer afford to hide it. "Zhou Yanli, we can settle our grudges later; for now, let's just fight our way out of here!"

Screams rang out all around.

The Ronin in the hall were all succumbing to the effects of the drugs; they were either suffering from unbearable abdominal pain or overcome with heavy drowsiness, with some unable to even keep their eyelids open.

The personal guards brought by Zhou Yanli took this opportunity to slash and kill, cutting down many Fusang Samurai.

Yamada Ichiro's eyes split with rage as he watched his subordinates die miserably.

He abruptly drew his gun and aimed it at Bai Wei.

"Damn woman, you drugged us! I'll kill you!"

As he spoke, his finger already pulled the trigger, and he fired a shot at Bai Wei.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Wei had no way to dodge.

Zhou Yanli, standing nearby, turned pale with shock and, without a second thought, immediately lunged forward.

However, it was already too late.

The Bullet hit Bai Wei directly.

Bai Wei also opened her eyes wide in surprise, swayed for a moment, and collapsed to the ground.

Zhou Yanli's cold pupils widened instantly, as if he had not expected this outcome.

Yamada Ichiro laughed heartily, blew on the still-smoking muzzle of his gun, and grinned wildly.

"Young Master Li, it seems our cooperation is very effective; this troublesome woman was killed by me with a single shot."

The room had been chaotic just moments ago, and Young Master Li had been hiding under a table; hearing this, he immediately crawled out, rear end in the air.

As soon as he saw Bai Wei lying on the ground, his face flushed with excitement.

"Great, the owner of that Bai's Grocery Store is finally dead!"

"Stinking woman, how dare you ruin the business of our Fuji Trading Firm! You have no skills at all, yet you dared to go against me!"

"Good riddance! Yamada, I really thank you!"

Suddenly, Lao Zhangtou and several laborers rushed in from outside, carrying kitchen knives in their hands.

As soon as he entered, he saw Bai Wei lying on the ground and was instantly stunned, his hand holding the kitchen knife frozen in mid-air.

"Bai... Bai?"

Yamada Ichiro glanced at them and gave a disdainful snort.

"I almost forgot, there are a few more of you rats in the Dye House! You are in league with the owner of Bai's Grocery Store; she is dead now, and next, it is time to deal with you internal traitors."

Seeing Bai Wei lying on the ground, Lao Zhangtou and the laborers were all thrown into a panic.

They had heard fighting in the hall and assumed the Fusang People were suffering from the drugs and that Xiao Moting and Zhang Yu had led troops in to storm the place, so they had brought kitchen knives to help, only to encounter this scene.

Lao Zhangtou's face turned pale. "Leader Zhang didn't come? How could this be?"

The laborer beside him was also terrified.

"Zhang Shu, Bai has been shot dead, what do we do?"

"It's over, Leader Zhang told us to take good care of Bai, now that she's dead, how are we going to answer to Leader Zhang?"

Young Master Li rushed forward and barked, "Do you still have the heart to worry about others? Worry about yourselves first. Daring to help Bai Wei drug the food and drink—Yamada won't spare you."

Zhou Yanli had also regained his senses; his handsome eyes flashed with anger as he glared fiercely at Bai Wei, his thin lips moving slightly before he spat out a few words after a long pause.

"Bai Wei, you died just like that? So weak, yet you dared to impersonate the Goddess of my clan..."

Before he could finish, a crisp voice interrupted him.

"Hey, who are you looking down on?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Wei, who had been "dead" on the ground, suddenly scrambled up from the floor.

In an instant, the surrounding crowd went completely silent.

Even the two sides engaged in fierce fighting stopped, staring at Bai Wei in shock.

Young Master Li looked as if he had seen a ghost, pointing at Bai Wei in horror.

"You... how are you not dead?"

Bai Wei rubbed her shoulder blade with annoyance.

"Li, you really are vicious, hoping for my death that much?"

That shot from Yamada Ichiro earlier had hit her Bulletproof Vest.

But because the distance was so close, the impact of the Bullet was so strong that even though it didn't pierce the Bulletproof Vest, it still knocked her to the ground with one shot.

Fortunately, she was wearing her most expensive Bulletproof Vest, which had strong shock-absorption and cushioning effects; otherwise, she would have surely broken a bone from taking that Bullet.

Even so, her shoulder blade was aching terribly.

"Bai Wei, you aren't dead?" Zhou Yanli's dark eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise; he looked her up and down, his eyes filled with undisguised shock. "And you don't even have a single scratch."

Bai Wei smiled at him and winked. "This lady has magic protecting her body; surprised? Shocked?"

Zhou Yanli was slightly stunned, then gave a cold sneer; the look of shock in his eyes immediately turned into disdain.

"Stop playing ghost; if you aren't dead, get up quickly. This is no place for games."

Bai Wei stood up, saw Lao Zhangtou staring straight at her, and hurried forward.

"Zhang Shu, you all came too..."

But before she could finish, Lao Zhangtou let out a loud "Ah!" and retreated in terror with several laborers, pressing his palms together as he retreated, muttering in fear.

"Every debt has its debtor! Bai, it was the Fusang People who killed you, not us. If you want to find someone, go find them."

The laborers beside him also had faces full of terror, "A, a corpse has reanimated!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wei was left between laughter and tears.

So they thought she had turned into a zombie!

At this moment, Yamada Ichiro regained his senses, looking her up and down with shock and rage.

"You blocked my Bullet? Could it be that you also have that kind of invulnerable Bulletproof Treasure Garment?"

"Invulnerable Bulletproof Treasure Garment?" Bai Wei's mind raced, and she immediately realized that the "Bulletproof Treasure Garment" he spoke of was a Bulletproof Vest.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she calmed down immediately after.

She had transmigrated to Daliang and could Teleport various items; the "Shrine Maiden" the Fusang People spoke of must have had the same ability as her.

Since this Shrine Maiden could provide the Fusang People with guns and Ammunition, she must have also sent them Bulletproof Vests.

Zhou Yanli narrowed his eyes, a flash of sharp killing intent crossing them.

"Bai Wei, do you still refuse to admit that you stole things from our Divine Witch Tribe Treasure Vault?"

Bai Wei was speechless; she was so anxious her mouth was almost blistering.

What time did he think it was!

This Zhou Yanli was still stubbornly convinced that she had stolen things from his family's Treasure Vault.

She had such a massive Warehouse, with whatever she wanted, who would be bored enough to go and steal from his family's place!

At this moment, Yamada Ichiro immediately raised his gun again, grinning viciously.

"It doesn't matter. You have a Bulletproof Treasure Garment, so if I can't hit you, I'll just hit your head."

As he spoke, he raised his arm and fired a shot at Bai Wei's head.

Bai Wei's thoughts stirred, and she was about to use her mind to take a Steel Plate out of the Warehouse to block the Bullet.

But at that very instant, she saw a white shadow flicker, and her vision blurred for a moment.

Immediately after, before she could even react, her body was suddenly swept into the air!
