Madam, I like you.

　Was it human? A vampire? Or perhaps neither? She thought of the nemesis recorded in the texts passed down by the Ripple Clan—the Pillar Man.

　Lisa Lisa couldn't confirm it, because even the information passed down by the Ripple Clan did not record that the people in the Pillar possessed such powerful and strange abilities.

　The light cast a shadow, but no one was visible.

　Lisa Lisa looked up and saw a young Oriental man hanging upside down from the ceiling, as if the gravity of the world was reversed and Newton's laws were completely unsuitable for him.

　Mo Yankong stepped over the ceiling, and his hair and clothes were not affected by gravity at all. This set of "clothes" was originally Mo Yankong's body cells, so it was not difficult to control it.

　As for why it is hung on the ceiling...

　Hmm...this way of appearance should be considered impressive.

　Mo Yankong gave his appearance a score of 80 points. He glanced at the shocked and horrified expressions of Lisa Lisa and Siji Q without any expression. His expression was cold and ruthless, but he felt secretly happy.

　In "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", the only ones who are qualified to pose are either the main characters or boss-level characters. It's fun to cosplay them occasionally.

　Mo Yankong, who was hanging upside down on the ceiling, glanced at Lisa Lisa with his bright red eyes and said lightly: "Excuse me."

　A Dead River Apostle's entire body turned into a blood-red shadow. The shadow was like a river, with countless blood-red eyes flowing on the surface of the river. The eyes, like living people, revealed all kinds of negative emotions, fear, anger, jealousy, despair, prayer, and contempt. Everything flowed into the shadow under Mo Yankong's feet, supporting Mo Yankong's body to slowly descend from the ceiling to the ground.

　This scene looks like Mo Yankong changed his habit of walking on the ceiling in order to talk to Lisa Lisa and the others.

　Mo Yankong stroked the Dead River Apostle who was at his waist with his right hand and said slowly, "You should know why I came here. Your maid has already told you."

　Having just seen every part of Lisa Lisa's body, Mo Yankong couldn't help but marvel at this noblewoman's beauty as he got closer to admire her. Her features were delicate and elegant, with a Western dimensionality combined with an Eastern softness. She wore no makeup. Her skin, white as a result of her practice of wave qigong, was even more beautiful than that of younger women.

　Her thick black hair reached her waist, and her loose silk nightgown could not hide her proud curves. Time had left no trace on Lisa Lisa's body, but instead made her graceful and noble, and her feminine charm even stronger.

　"Hoohoho-"

　The Dead River Apostle grinned, and the blood-red shadow that made up half of his body opened his eyes and stared greedily at the two creatures in front of him, as if he would pounce on them and eat them if their answers did not satisfy Mo Yankong.

　In fact, this Dead River Apostle only looks scary. If he really fights against a lion or tiger, he will be pinned to the ground and rubbed.

　Lisa Lisa asked solemnly, "Perfect... Aizhe Red Stone, who are you, and how did you know I have this gem?"

　The Aizhe Redstone is a treasure passed down from generation to generation by the Ripple Clan, and only a very small number of the Ripple Clan know of the existence of the Aizhe Redstone.

　Mo Yankong didn't answer. He raised two fingers and said calmly, "You have two choices. One, hand over the Perfect Ai Zhe Redstone here. You, your maid, your servant, and your castle will be safe."

　"Second, I will kill you here, eat your body, obtain your memories, find the Edge Red Stone, turn all your servants into fodder for the dogs, burn down this castle, and kill all your relatives, including your son Joseph Joestar, your adoptive mother Elena Joestar, your adoptive father Stretz, and your benefactor Spitwagen."

　Every time Mo Yankong said a name, Lisa Lisa's expression wavered a little, and her snow-white face lost all color. The names Mo Yankong mentioned were all her most important relatives.

　Why did Mo Yankong know so much? Lisa Lisa felt that everything about her was exposed to Mo Yankong. She bit her lip, unwilling but suppressing her uneasiness, and asked in a low voice, "I will give you the gem, and you will let us go."

　"I promise."

　"What guarantee?"

　Mo Yankong smiled, "Your lives."

　The implication is that you have no choice.

　Chapter 110: Smart Woman

　"I understand."

　Lisa Lisa came to the dressing table, opened the drawer and took out an antique box, which was about the size of two palms.

　Before she knew the man in the pillar

　Before the news came out, the significance of the Aizhe Redstone was just a treasure passed down by the Ripple Clan, so it was not hidden so carefully.

　Mo Yankong was about to make a move. Lisa Lisa glanced at Mo Yankong and sneered, "Only a ripple messenger can open this box. Not only that, ripple energy has different frequencies, and the wrong ripple frequency won't open this box. If the box is damaged by external forces or the wrong ripple frequency is continuously input, the box will destroy the gems stored inside."

　What kind of black technology is this from the Ripple family?

　Mo Yankong frowned and gave up the idea of ​​snatching the box. The value of the perfect Aizhe Redstone was countless times greater than Lisa Lisa's life. If he acted rashly, it would destroy the agreement Mo Yankong had just made.

　Having lost her trust in Mo Yankong, Lisa Lisa was not sure whether Mo Yankong would let her go. Given her personality, she would definitely rather die than live in disgrace.

　The initiative seems to be in Mo Yankong's hands, but in fact, Aizhe Redstone is Lisa Lisa's strongest shield.

　"呲呲-"

　Lisa Lisa's hands were wrapped in golden ripple energy. When they touched the ancient box, the sound of the mechanism operating continuously sounded inside the box, and the lid automatically popped open. She picked up the ruby ​​necklace inside and raised it: "This is what you want."

　The perfect Aizhe red stone is set in a silver necklace, shaped like a shield, surrounded by gemstones of different colors, which is extremely luxurious.

　Mo Yankong stood up and said, "Very good."

　Lisa Lisa grabbed the Perfect Edger Redstone and shouted coldly, "Stop! If you take another step forward, I'll destroy this gem with my ripples."

　Sure enough, this woman would not be manipulated so easily.

　Mo Yankong narrowed his eyes slightly, looking bored: "I thought you were a smart woman."

　"How can a man-eating monster be trusted?"

　Lisa Lisa turned to Siji Q and said, "Siji Q, use the ship at the port to leave here. You'll only hold me back if you stay here."

　"But..." Siji Q looked at Lisa Lisa hesitantly, almost crying, and glanced at Mo Yankong cautiously out of the corner of her eye.

　Lisa Lisa decisively scolded: "Stupid, it's nothing, but, for your own sake, it's also to protect my life."

　"I understand." Sijiq, who had never been scolded by Lisa Lisa, nodded seriously. She suppressed her fear and passed by Mo Yankong. She glanced at the Dead River Apostle beside Mo Yankong, and when she met his eyes filled with blood-red shadows, she was so scared that her legs went weak.

　"Ahh——" Sijiq let out a low cry and was about to fall to the ground.

　Mo Yankong lifted her collar and threw her out, snorting coldly, "Get out!"

　Mo Yankong was a little annoyed because the initiative was in the hands of Lisa Lisa, and the plan to snatch Aizhe's redstone fell through. Mo Yankong couldn't guess what Lisa Lisa would do next.

　Lisa Lisa said calmly, "Perhaps we can have a good chat while Siji Q is away from this island. You seem to know quite a bit about my affairs."

　"Of course, I know everything Stretz knows."

　"What's the meaning!"

　"It seems you don't know, Lisa Lisa. As the legitimate heir of the Ripple Qigong, you can't be unaware of the existence of the Pillar Man."

　The man in the pillar!?

　Lisa Lisa's expression wavered. Recalling the records in the tome, she nodded and said, "That was the old enemy of the Ripple Clan, the creator of the Stone Mask. But they should have disappeared for thousands of years."

　"They didn't disappear, they fell asleep. Spitwagen discovered the remains of the Pillar Man in Mexico and invited Stretzer to kill the Pillar Man sleeping inside the stone pillar. But Stretzer didn't do it. He found the Stone Mask left behind by the Pillar Man in the ruins and used Spitwagen as a sacrifice to awaken the Stone Mask's power and transform himself into a vampire."

　Lisa Lisa opened her eyes wide in disbelief, refusing to calm down, and refuted firmly: "This is impossible! Stretz would not do such a thing."

　"Really? Then do you want to confront him face to face?" Mo Yankong curled his lips and smiled strangely.

　The blood-red shadow flowed to Mo Yankong's side, and a human figure with only half of the body left emerged from the blood-red shadow. It was Stretz who had turned into a younger man. His eyes were no longer bright. After being swallowed by the dead river, he was just a corpse with memories.

　"Strez..."

　Lisa Lisa's eyes widened. She had been raised by Stretzer since she was little, learning Ripple Qigong under his guidance. Stretzer had become like a father figure to her. How could she not recognize her father? Even if half his face had been swallowed by a bloody shadow, flowing with something from another world?

　"Lisa Lisa..."

　Stretz raised her head slightly, half of her face calmly watching Lisa Lisa calling her name.

　"You bastard!"

　Lisa Lisa glared at Mo Yankong, her eyes filled with rage, turning into hatred and determination towards the enemy, just like the look a warrior should have.

　Mo Yankong spread his hands and said, "What? Do you look like you're resentful of me? His first target after becoming a vampire was the Joestar family. You know the reason, even without me telling you. The Joestar family's bloodline has a very high adaptability to ripples. They are natural ripple messengers, posing a great threat to the vampire Stretz."

　Lisa Lisa's expression wavered for a few moments, but she forced herself to calm down and asked, "Are you from the Pillar Clan?"

　"No, but there is no difference. If we talk about the biggest difference between the people in the pillar

　The difference... the philosophy I uphold is similar to that of the predecessor of the Pillar Clan."

　A look of doubt appeared on the lady's three-dimensional and elegant facial features.

　"Before humanity emerged, a super-creature was accidentally born during the process of biological evolution. They lived a long lifespan and possessed physical qualities far beyond what was considered normal for living things. But nature is fair. When it bestows a creature with a certain exceptional talent, it also deprives it of something of equal value. The price of standing at the pinnacle of all living things is that these super-creatures can only survive at night. Once exposed to sunlight, their bodies collapse and perish."

　"Even without the sun, they could survive by consuming the life energy of animals and plants. They built a civilization underground and lived for a long time."

　"The humans who came after them revered them as gods."

　"They rarely die, so they don't have human desires and just live peacefully."

　"However, all peace ended when a genius was born among them. His name was Kaz. He killed living beings wantonly, devouring the life energy of all creatures. To test the limits of his abilities, he created a tool called the Stone Mask to further strengthen his body. It's like a human using the Stone Mask to become a vampire."

　"He gained immortality, standing at the pinnacle of all life. But he still couldn't face the sun, and his physical body's evolution required him to plunder more life energy."

　"Animals, plants, birds, insects, everything is his food. If this continues, one day he will eat up all life on Earth."

　"Those super-beings living underground fear the evolution of their own kind, a species called Kaz. They fear that one day they themselves will be devoured. Led by their leader, they have decided to kill Kaz."

　"However, after evolving, Kaz killed all of his own kind, including his parents, and led his few remaining companions on a journey to seek evolution and eliminate all fear (the sun)."

　"The Stone Mask's power can't fully unleash the super creature's physical potential. Therefore, a powerful activator is needed to strengthen the Stone Mask's functions. Kaz found an extremely rare gemstone in nature and named it Azer Redstone. When light shines into the crystal, it is reflected billions of times, amplifying it and emitting from a single point."

　"Aizhe Redstone is the most perfect material for strengthening the Stone Ghost Mask. However, ordinary Aizhe Redstone contains impurities and is of low quality, so it cannot meet the standards for strengthening the Stone Ghost Mask. For this, flawless Aizhe Redstone is needed." Mo Yankong's eyes were on the Aizhe Redstone that Lisa Lisa held tightly in her right hand.

　"Perfect Aizhe Redstone..." After listening to Mo Yankong's narration, Lisa Lisa was greatly shocked. She didn't completely believe what Mo Yankong said. However, everything Mo Yankong said was consistent with the records of the Ripple Clan.

　The records left behind by the Ripple Clan only briefly mention the fighting habits, goals, and names of the Pillar People.

　What Mo Yankong talked about was a story that existed before the birth of writing and was older than human civilization.

　Chapter 111: Deep Immortal Vein Ripples

　"Since you are not from the Zhuzhong clan, why do you want to get this Aizh Red Stone?" Lisa Lisa sat on her rose-colored bed, crossed her legs and asked calmly, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Mo Yankong.

　She was not sure about Mo Yankong's strength, but at this distance, she was confident that she could use ripples to destroy the Aizhe redstone the moment Mo Yankong made a move.

　Lisa Lisa was not clear about the nature of the Dead River Apostle, but she could vaguely feel that Mo Yankong was a monster similar to a vampire.

　Mo Yankong showed no intention of approaching. He smiled and said, "The reason is simple. The only perfect piece of Ai Zhe Red Stone discovered in the world so far is the one in your hand. As long as you possess it, the people in the Pillar will naturally come to you."

　"What's the meaning."

　"I am an omnivore like humans, although I am a vampire. If I need a metaphor, humans are domestic animals, delicious and harmless, and vampires are wild game like rabbits. Although they can't hurt people, it takes a lot of effort to catch them. The people in the pillars are like lions and tigers. I don't know what they taste like yet, so it's also difficult to catch them. Perfect Aizhe Redstone is the best bait." Mo Yankong said the creepy words with a smile, hiding the part that he also wanted to use Aizhe Redstone for experiments.

　Seeing Lisa Lisa's face gradually darken, Mo Yankong spread his hands and continued, "Don't get me wrong, I've told you before, at least when it comes to eating, I'm much more rational than the average vampire. I don't want to increase my own kind. Adding more will only make my food even more scarce, and it will also attract the attention of humans. This is just the reckless behavior of a beast."

　Lisa Lisa folded her arms, her charming and cold face showing disdain and sarcasm as she said, "You really know how to beautify yourself. Are you saying this to make me let my guard down and hand over the Aizhe Redstone to you without worry?"

　Mo Yankong shrugged, his expression uncertain. "That's the truth. Your little maid is almost gone from the island. What are you going to do? Destroy the Aizhe Redstone? Even though I'm a monster, I still have some human feelings. If the Aizhe Redstone is destroyed, I guarantee that my wrath will tear you and all your loved ones apart."

　Mo Yankong stared at the perfect Aizhe Redstone in Lisa Lisa's hand. He knew that there was no time to rush, so he decided to give this woman a warning first to put an end to her unrealistic fantasies.

　"You are very powerful, and I have no doubt about the truth of what you said. However, you also said that once the Pillar Man obtains the Azer Red Stone and becomes a perfect creature, he will definitely destroy everything on Earth.

　Some creatures devour, I need proof."

　Mo Yankong raised his eyebrows: "How to prove it."

　Lisa Lisa stared at Mo Yankong with a determined look, "Prove that you are stronger than our Ripple Clan. Prove that you have the power to destroy our Ripple Clan and the Pillar Clan at the same time. The method of proof is very simple. I am the heir of the Ripple Clan, and this island has the Ripple Clan's most powerful warriors."

　Lisa Lisa revealed the Aizhe Redstone necklace in her hand and solemnly declared, "Just like the Ripple Warriors and the Pillar People, fight. The winner will obtain the Aizhe Redstone."

　Mo Yankong was startled, then laughed and shook his head, "Are you serious?"

　"You don't expect me to hand over the Edger Redstone obediently just because you threaten me, do you?"

　Mo Yankong shook his head. "Never, but I thought you would have a more brilliant option, one that could defeat or kill me. If that doesn't work, you could still hide with the Ai Zhe Red Stone. Did I overestimate you?"

　Facing Mo Yankong's sarcasm, the black-haired lady remained calm: "I don't know what kind of expectations you have of me. I am a human, an ordinary human, a weak human. Facing a monster like you, I can't find any way out."

　Lisa Lisa stood up from the bed, turned her back to Mo Yankong and walked to the sandalwood wardrobe beside her. She turned her head slightly and looked at Mo Yankong unhappily: "Could you please leave this room for a while?"

　Mo Yankong stood there unmoved: "The Ai Zhe Red Stone is in your hands. I won't let it out of my sight, even for half a second."

　Lisa Lisa put one hand on her waist and said angrily and helplessly, "What a rude monster! It's not honorable to peek at a woman changing clothes. I thought you were a qualified gentleman before."

　"Gentleman? Your country invaded my motherland twenty years ago and sold a large amount of drugs to my motherland. Isn't the so-called gentlemanly demeanor of such a country laughable?" Mo Yankong replied with a sneer.

　"China..." Lisa Lisa thought thoughtfully. The origin of Ripple Qigong is China.

　Lisa Lisa untied the ribbon of her silk nightgown, revealing her graceful body before Mo Yankong's eyes. She wore nothing, her skin smooth as jade, her legs long and straight. Years of exercise had left her with no trace of excess fat. A pound more would have been fat, a pound less would have been plump. Every part of her body seemed to have been sculpted and polished by a master sculptor thousands of times.

　Even calling it art cannot encompass all the beauty of this female body. Mo Yankong used all the words of praise he could find to describe her, and the most appropriate one was the word "perfect".

　"Your body is the most beautiful of all the women I have ever seen." Mo Yankong praised softly, not hiding the greedy desire for possession in his eyes at all.

　Lisa Lisa folded her hands in displeasure, took out gloves and stockings from the closet, and quickly put on her clothes: "A monster like you can also say words praising human women."

　Mo Yankong grinned, "I'm not just talking about your appearance, but also the enormous life energy within your body. The ripples are a deadly poison that vampires and people in the pillars cannot avoid, but they don't have much effect on me."

　Lisa Lisa's tone was subtle, pretending to be indifferent and asked tentatively: "Is it true? All the vampires, corpse-born people, and even the pillar people I met were afraid of the ripples that have no effect on you."

　Mo Yankong, of course, understood the meaning behind the words of the cold, elegant woman before him. He didn't respond, but instead admired the perfect female body changing clothes. Suddenly, he said, "How about we make a deal?"
