Tomb Raider: I Am Hu Bayi's Cousin

Chapter 422 Flawless Immortality!
"You are indeed a clever woman, Queen Mother of the West."

As he turned to leave, a faint murmur came from Hu Ming's direction.

The Queen Mother of the West's face darkened.

She just knew it!
Hu Ming is a wicked man!
Forget it, I'm not going to waste time with this jerk. I'll just go find King Mu of Zhou...

Although he was covered in blood and his skin was almost completely corroded, he still looked better than Hu Mingshun.

Those who rely on their brains will never get along with each other.

累!
I'm so tired!
You never know when you might accidentally get scammed by the other party.

For example, now.

The Queen Mother of the West completely abandoned her idea of ​​taking the opportunity to kill Hu Ming.

She finally understood: Hu Ming, despite his young age, was full of wicked schemes and probably just wanted her to do something underhanded!
"Please remember to close the door behind you when you leave, thank you!"

Hu Ming yawned and said with unusual politeness.

They didn't treat themselves like outsiders at all.

As for just falling asleep...

It's an act!
Hu Ming was not so careless as to fall asleep in front of the Queen Mother of the West.

To be honest, the waves of sleepiness were hard to resist, and even if Hu Ming forced himself to stay awake, he couldn't hold on any longer.

The combination of bloodline tattoos, the power of the elixir of immortality, and the strange power of the meteorite creates a truly domineering force.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West's dark face darkened even further.

Why do I feel like Hu Ming is the host here, and she's the guest?
Heartbreaking!
"Your Majesty, our men are ready. Shall we make our move?"

As they stepped out of the main hall, a ghostly soldier quietly approached the Queen Mother of the West and asked in a soft voice.

Not only the Queen Mother of the West, but these ghostly soldiers also harbored deep resentment towards Hu Ming.

Given the chance, they wouldn't mind messing with Hu Ming properly.

"...Let's call it a day, there's no more fun."

The Queen Mother of the West sighed.

"He really did make contingency plans in advance?"

The ghostly soldiers understood, and asked unwillingly.

Damn it, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to earn a reward!
"Don't let his young age fool you, he's very shrewd and meticulous in everything he does."

"I have a feeling that if we make a move, we'll be the ones who die, and Hu Ming..."

"At most, it will only delay the transformation for a while; it won't cause any real pain or discomfort..."

Nodding, the Queen Mother of the West said softly.

After saying that, he waved his hand to let the ghost soldiers go off and play by themselves, then turned and walked towards a side hall next to his main hall.

She went to seek comfort from King Mu of Zhou.

The core area of ​​the meteorite remains as quiet and peaceful as ever.

It seems that Hu Ming and Xiao Ge's arrival did not cause any trouble here.

That is indeed the case.

The young man came here because he had his own things to do.

Hu Ming, meanwhile, was fast asleep, oblivious to everything around him. The only thing he noticed was that the Queen Mother of the West had been forced to leave the palace where she had lived for five thousand years, and was now deeply involved with King Mu of Zhou.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and outside, the rainy season is nearing its end.

The rain had already subsided considerably, leaving Hu Ming and his brother little time to go out.

It is worth mentioning that in the past two weeks, a large-scale construction project suddenly began in the meteorite jade area.

The Queen Mother of the West was a germaphobe, and she planned to rebuild a grand palace for herself.

This was a real hardship for the ghost soldiers.

Ultimately, they haven't fully transformed; their joints are stiff, making it truly difficult for them to do such delicate work.

Therefore, the ghost soldiers' resentment towards Hu Ming grew day by day. This guy, every time he comes here, nothing good ever comes of it!
If Hu Ming's system is a system for collecting emotions...

With such intense resentment, wouldn't Hu Ming instantly become a god?
What a pity.

The deliveryman had already finished his work two days ago.

At this moment, the young man was sitting quietly on a chair in the main hall, resting with his eyes closed.

"You're awake? The timing is perfect. If it had been a few days later, we probably would have been stuck here for a year."

Suddenly, the young man opened his eyes and said softly.

"Ah, I'm awake. The expected two weeks, not a day more, not a day less..."

"But then again, that was a really good night's sleep!"

Hu Ming's soft voice drifted over.
Click click
The sound of shattering came from Hu Ming's direction.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Hu Ming's exposed skin had begun to crack!
The dense cracks continued to spread, and in an instant, they enveloped Hu Ming completely.

The next moment, as Hu Ming moved, his skin slowly peeled off!
This is molting...

The final transformation can be described as the most miraculous, like the person in the jade figurine shedding their old skin.

Neither Hu Ming nor the young man were surprised by this; they had known this would happen all along.

After spending a few minutes cleaning off the remaining skin, Hu Ming stood up and patted his clothes to shake out the skin fragments underneath.

However, it is comforting to know that although he has shed a layer of skin, Hu Ming's hair is still there.

Thankfully, I didn't become Saitama.
Becoming stronger, but also going bald, is not what Hu Ming is looking for.

"There has been no change in physical fitness, five senses, etc."

"However, my body felt as if it had shed countless burdens, as if I had been reborn, incredibly relaxed, with an unprecedented sense of ease!"

After a few simple movements in place, Hu Ming was still fully aware of the changes in his body.

With a thought, the blood flow in his body didn't change at all, but the dragon and phoenix tattoos under his clothes had already appeared on his chest.

As if returning to simplicity, the originally flamboyant faint light has disappeared, and everything seems to have returned to the ordinary.

But
"Brother, I did it!"

Hu Ming opened his eyes and grinned.

Perfect immortality, immortality without any side effects—he, Hu Ming, finally obtained it decades after arriving in this world!
"Congratulations on achieving your goal, Hu Ming!"

"On this vast land, since the dawn of human civilization, only you have achieved this goal: perfect, flawless immortality!"

"No one but you could do that!"

A rare hint of envy appeared in the young man's eyes as he sincerely offered his blessings to Hu Ming.
