I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Jingle Bell……"

Inside Linglingtang Cleaning Company, Ma Xiaoling, hearing the sound of wind chimes, suddenly looked up at the beautiful young woman walking towards her: "Hello, how can I help you?"

Chang'e said, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

Ma Xiaoling nodded and strode up to her: "What trouble have you encountered?"

Chang'e made a sword-wielding gesture with her hand, and touched his shoulder with one finger, freezing him in place.

Ma Xiaoling looked surprised and then mobilized all her internal magical power in an attempt to break through the acupoints.

However, Chang'e, controlled by fate, did not hesitate at all, grabbed Ma Xiaoling's hand and bit it.

As the corpse fangs pierced through her fair skin, two streams of corpse poison were simultaneously injected into Ma Xiaoling's body.

The roof of the hospital.

Qin Yao suddenly sensed something and stopped activating the Love Script. He then formed a hand seal and opened a dimensional gate, only to find Ma Xiaoling standing upright inside the Lingling Hall Cleaning Company, her pupils gradually turning deep purple...

"Snapped!"

At this moment, Ma Xiaoling finally broke through the acupoints, looked up at the dimensional gate and Qin Yao behind it, and her body suddenly transformed into a purple light, passing through the gate and flashing from inside Linglingtang Cleaning Company to the roof of the hospital.

"Who bit you?" Qin Yao asked.

Sensing the rapidly surging power within her, Ma Xiaoling smiled wickedly: "It doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that I really like this feeling..."

Qin Yao said solemnly, "Ma Xiaoling, wake up! You're not in a good state right now!"

Based on his understanding of the original drama, he knew that while the Pangu clan was setting up a grand scheme to capture destiny, destiny itself was not idle either. As early as the Qin Dynasty, it had selected an important pawn to deal with the Pangu clan, namely: Ma Ling'er, the ancestor of the Ma clan.

He granted Ma Ling'er the power to subdue the dragon, and orchestrated a conflict between the Ma family and the zombies. He even established the Ma family's ancestral precept of upholding righteousness and warding off evil, and turned the zombies into demons...

What gives the Ma family the ability to confront Jiang Chen, and even to subdue him?

The reason is not that the Ma family possesses a divine dragon, but rather that destiny stands behind the Ma family.

This is why the Ma family bloodline and the power of zombies are completely incompatible. Once a member of the Ma family becomes a zombie, their personality will change drastically, and they will gradually become an alternative demon star.

At this very moment, Ma Xiaoling was in exactly this situation!

"No, I think it's great."

Ma Xiaoling waved her hand, looked into his eyes and said, "I seem to have figured out a lot of things in an instant, like you and me."

Qin Yao's heart sank: "What do you mean, 'you' and 'me'?"

“You have to take responsibility for me,” Ma Xiaoling said.

"What's the responsibility?"

"You have appeared for me time and time again when I was in the most difficult and needed help the most, which made me fall in love with you. You should take the main responsibility for this."

Ma Xiaoling said, "I was too internally conflicted before. Why did I have to waste my time? So, since it's your main responsibility, I want you to take charge."

Qin Yao: "..."

His personality has truly changed drastically!
"Buzz, buzz..." Just as he was silently devising his words, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.

"Hello, Master."

"Come back quickly, something's happened," Uncle Nine said in a deep voice.

Qin Yao was slightly startled: "What happened?"

"Master Mao Xiaofang has arrived. He says there's an uproar in the underworld, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is urgently needed to suppress it. But the problem is, he can't find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's reincarnation, so he's come to ask us if we have any solutions," Uncle Nine said succinctly.

Qin Yao glanced at Ma Xiaoling with purple eyes, and listened to Uncle Jiu's message on the phone. He realized that fate had reached its limit with him. Ma Xiaoling's demonization was the first blow, and the riot in the hellish otherworld was the second.

So here's the question: what exactly is this Hellish Otherworld?
In the universe of My Date with a Zombie, this place is equivalent to the eighteenth level of hell in traditional mythology, where the most vicious and brutal souls are suppressed.

The sudden uprising of these spirits, coupled with the absence of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is undoubtedly a calamity for the entire underworld.

"Okay, I'll head back right away." With a soft sigh, Qin Yao immediately hung up the phone.

Ma Xiaoling watched this scene quietly and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Something's happened in the underworld," Qin Yao explained. "Come with me and take a look."

Ma Xiaoling shook her head: "Wait a minute, we haven't finished talking about our business yet."

"There are priorities; let's deal with the matters in the underworld first," Qin Yao said decisively.

Ma Xiaoling refused, saying, "No, let's clarify things between us first."

Qin Yao was helpless: "How can I explain it clearly?"

“You have to marry me,” Ma Xiaoling said.

Qin Yao was taken aback: "What did you say?"

“I want you to marry me,” Ma Xiaoling repeated.

"it's out of the question."

"If you don't agree, I won't let you go."

"You can't stop me."

“You can’t stop me,” Ma Xiaoling said. “If you try to run away, I’ll bite people and turn the whole of Hong Kong into a zombie apocalypse.”

Qin Yao paused slightly, then suddenly released countless laws of spacetime, sealing off the entire rooftop.

However, with the blessing of the power of fate and the power of Pangu (the zombie), Ma Xiaoling, as the reincarnation of Ma Ling'er, has been strengthened to an extremely terrifying level. Even Qin Yao's spacetime laws could not restrain her body...

"I told you, you can't stop me." Ma Xiaoling raised her head slightly, smiling sweetly.

Qin Yao thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you know that your father and brother are still alive?"

Ma Xiaoling's smile faltered slightly, then she asked suspiciously, "Are you trying to stall for time?"

"No, if you want me to marry you, there has to be a wedding, right? Your father and brother are still alive, how can the wedding be without them?" Qin Yao retorted.

For him, these two blows from fate were indeed ruthless and accurate. Under normal circumstances, they could not only hold him back, but also cause him great psychological torment.

But what fate doesn't know is that he knows most of the secrets of the entire "Zombie Agreement," such as Ma Xiaoling's father, Ma Dalong, Ma Xiaoling's brother, Ma Xiaohu, and her mother, Tang Jinbao, who is now in the underworld.

This information was enough to be the key to breaking the deadlock for him!
After thinking it over, Ma Xiaoling stared into his eyes and asked, "Do you know where my father and brother are?"

"Know!"

Qin Yao replied, "There is currently an uproar in the otherworld of hell, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is urgently needed to suppress it. Your brother, Ma Xiaohu, is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. So, if you follow me, you can find your father and brother."

"You're not lying to me?" Ma Xiaoling asked with a solemn expression.

"Think about it, have I ever lied to you?" Qin Yao retorted.

Ma Xiaoling nodded: "Okay, take me to them!"

Qin Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, he opened a dimensional portal that led directly to his home, and with Ma Xiaoling, he appeared in front of Uncle Nine and Mao Xiaofang.

"Ah Yao, what's wrong with her?" Just as the dimensional gate was gradually dissipating, Uncle Nine keenly sensed Ma Xiaoling's abnormality.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it later," Qin Yao replied, then asked Mao Xiaofang, "How urgent is the situation in the Hellish Otherworld right now?"

Mao Xiaofang said, "The seal is in a state where it could be broken at any time."

Qin Yao pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Master, go and gather the members of the Savior Organization to rush to the aid of the Underworld; Master Mao, I will take you to find Ksitigarbha."

Mao Xiaofang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's set off now..."

A short while later, the four parted ways on the first floor. Qin Yao, along with Mao Xiaofang and Ma Xiaoling, rushed to Ma Xiaohu's house following the route in Chang'e's memory, only to sense that the other party was not at home.

Faced with this situation, he turned around and went to the door across the hall, knocking urgently.

"Who?"

Inside the living room, a middle-aged man with slicked-back hair, wearing a white shirt and brown vest, strode to the door and asked loudly.

“Ma Xiaohu’s friend,” Qin Yao replied.

Upon hearing the name Ma Xiaohu, the middle-aged man lowered his guard and opened the door: "What do you want with him? He should be at work at this time."

As he was speaking, his gaze suddenly fell on Ma Xiaoling beside him, and his body trembled abruptly.

Qin Yao took in her behavior and pulled Ma Xiaoling in front of the other person: "Do you know her?"

Ma Dalong waved his hands repeatedly, "I don't know him, I don't know him..."

When his wife gave birth to their son, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva told him that children are destined for calamities and it would be best not to recognize each other, otherwise, both of them would either die or be injured.

He didn't know what this calamity was, but he dared not disbelieve Ksitigarbha's words, so he entrusted Ma Xiaoling to her great-aunt and has been raising his son ever since.

Qin Yao was well aware of his concerns and said frankly, "To be honest, I'm here to help your children overcome their life-threatening tribulations."

Ma Dalong's expression changed drastically, and he chuckled dryly, "What children, what fate, you've got it wrong. I have no children, I'm just a lonely old man."

Qin Yao said, "Xiao Ling has turned into a zombie."

"What?!" Ma Dalong exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing his expression, Ma Xiaoling immediately realized that this unassuming man was indeed her father, and she coldly questioned him, "Why did you abandon me to your aunt?"

Ma Dalong: "..."

"Xiaoling, show him your zombie form," Qin Yao said.

After a moment of silence, Ma Xiaoling finally revealed her purple eyes and sharp fangs.

Ma Dalong was so frightened that he took two steps back, and Qin Yao took the opportunity to enter the room:
"Old Ma, this is extremely urgent. If you don't cooperate with me, Xiao Hu and Xiao Ling will both face a huge crisis."

Ma Xiaoling followed him into the room, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided not to press him further.

Ma Dalong took a deep breath, immediately took out his phone, and dialed his son's number: "Come home quickly, something has happened at your house."

"What happened?"

Inside the telecommunications building, at a silver-white workstation, a man wearing black-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a blue tie, dressed like a typical white-collar worker, asked in confusion.

"Important matter, return immediately."

Ma Dalong knew exactly how to handle his son, and after saying four words, he abruptly hung up the phone.

Ma Xiaohu felt a tightness in his chest, suddenly stood up, quickly asked for leave, and rushed home without stopping.

But the moment he opened the door, he found Ma Dalong and three strangers in his house, and nothing else seemed out of the ordinary...

"What's going on?" Ma Xiaohu stared directly at Ma Dalong, his brows furrowed.

If this were a prank, he would definitely kick the other person twice.

"Go ahead and say it," Ma Dalong said, glancing sideways at Qin Yao.

Qin Yao nodded and said frankly, "Ma Xiaohu, you are the reincarnation of the indestructible Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

Ma Xiaohu: "?"

Crazy?
"A riot of evil spirits has broken out in the underworld, and you are needed to suppress the dead." Amidst his astonishment, Qin Yao stated his purpose directly.

Ma Xiaohu then realized what was happening and asked with amusement, "Friend, this joke isn't funny at all. Are you a TV crew? What program are you working on?"

Without wasting any words, Qin Yao directly opened a dimensional gate to the underworld in his home.

Staring at the circular portal that suddenly appeared before him, flashing with golden sparks, Ma Xiaohu was dumbfounded again. He then raised his hands and rubbed his eyes hard: "Am I dreaming? I must be dreaming."

"This is not a dream!"

Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "My companions have already gone to the aid of the underworld, but they do not have the power of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and cannot suppress the other world; therefore, we can only come to you to solve the problem at its root."

"Wait, wait." Ma Xiaohu raised his hand and said, "I'm a little confused. How could I be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? I'm just an ordinary orphan."

Qin Yao knew that without obtaining Ma Xiaohu's consent, even if he forced it, he wouldn't be able to awaken Ksitigarbha's consciousness. Therefore, he patiently explained:
“You are not an orphan. In fact, the man standing in front of you right now, Ma Dalong, is your father, and the girl next to me is your sister.”

Ma Xiaohu: "..."

"You explain his background," Qin Yao said to Ma Dalong as he stood there, still in a daze.

Ma Dalong looked at his two children and sighed softly, "Xiao Hu, Xiao Ling, you two were originally twins, but your lives were not good."

More than 20 years ago, Xiao Hu was born without a soul and was destined to die young.

I begged Ksitigarbha for help, and he granted my request, saying he would arrange it as soon as possible. However, he asked me to take you away from Xiaoling and go as far away as possible, so that you would not stay together and have your misfortunes compounded.

So I brought you here, only to discover that your grown-up appearance is none other than that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Qin Yao added, "That's because Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva changed the mandate of heaven several times, thus facing the calamity."

"I have a question." Mao Xiaofang looked at Ma Dalong with curiosity: "How did you become acquainted with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Ma Dalong let out a long breath, his eyes filled with a hint of reminiscence:
"Because Xiao Hu and Xiao Ling's mother, Jin Bao... Back then, Jin Bao was in a car accident and her life was in danger."

I played the piece I had composed for her over and over again by her bedside. I never imagined that this piece would transcend the barriers between Yin and Yang, reaching the underworld and causing Jinbao to stop at the Wangxiang Terrace, and also moving Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

So Ksitigarbha sent Jinbao's soul to him, making an exception and allowing her to return to the world of the living for a year. That's how we met.

Mao Xiaofang: "..."

Is the power of love really that strong?

However, Qin Yao, standing to the side, knew very well that while the power of love was indeed limitless in this realm, the matter itself was not as wonderful as Ma Dalong had described.

In fact, this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Ksitigarbha and Jiang Chen.

Fate, through various means, orchestrated a scheme to make the indestructible Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva break his vows, thereby prompting him to reincarnate so as not to hinder its own plans.

During this year, Tang Jinbao gave birth to Ma Xiaohu and Ma Xiaoling. The former became the key to the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha, while the latter was used to deal with Jiang Chen.

Therefore, in the course of fate, the Ma family and Jiang Chen were destined to be irreconcilable enemies, mutually restraining each other for eternity.

In this way, it won't hinder his grand plan to use the body of the Holy Mother of Yaochi to combine the three books and ascend to become the ruler of the three realms... (End of this chapter)
