As soon as the car drove out of the mall's underground parking lot, Zhou Xin burst into laughter and slumped into her seat. "Oh my, I'm dying of laughter! Did you see the fortune-telling part? It was absolutely hilarious!"
Fang Yang glanced at Zhou Xin and said, "Don't laugh too hard, or you'll regret it when your stomach hurts."
Zhou Xin rolled her eyes at Fang Yang. "You're so unromantic! Hey Fang Yang, do you think zombies actually exist?"
"I didn't know before, but now I'm sure I don't!"
"How do you know? You're so sure?"
"Didn't they say that supernatural beings were forbidden after the founding of the People's Republic of China? You didn't know that?"
"That's utter nonsense. You mean to say it already existed?"
"It's hard to say. Isn't there a legend in history that during the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, the Yellow Emperor sent the celestial maiden Ba to fight. Ba wore green clothes and could emit extremely strong light and heat. When she came to the front lines, she used her divine power, and the wind, rain, and fog instantly dissipated. The Yellow Emperor finally captured and killed Chi You. Yinglong and Ba achieved great feats, but they also lost their divine powers and could never return to heaven. Yinglong remained in the south of the human world, and from then on, the south was full of water and rain, while Ba remained in the north, and the north was often arid."
"I've never heard of that before. You didn't make it up, did you?"
Zhou Xin looked at Fang Yang with suspicion, feeling that it was just a fantasy!
Have you heard of the Yellow Emperor?
"I've heard of them, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"
Fang Yang felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Thank goodness, nothing had changed during this time!
"Have you heard of Chi You?"
"I know, but I've never heard of Yinglong or Ba."
"What's so strange about that? It's just an ancient legend. You're not a history student, so you've never heard of anything strange about it!"
Zhou Xin scratched her head. "It feels really strange. Why do you know things I don't? Did you use different textbooks in school?"
"This isn't in the textbook. What a joke! It's all nine years of compulsory education, how could the textbooks be different? Oh, maybe that's possible. Textbooks vary from province to province."
After leaving the city, traffic decreased, and Fang Yang began to accelerate. This road was not a main road, and after 10 p.m., you would only encounter one car every few minutes. If not 100 km/h, 80 km/h was a must.
"Drive slower, it's late at night and visibility isn't as good as during the day, so please be careful."
"It's okay, it's only 80 miles per hour. It's a three-lane road in one direction, this speed is the minimum requirement."
"That's strange, how come the zombie you're talking about is a woman?"
"The woman is definitely a woman, and a celestial maiden at that, but no one knows exactly what happened. After all, it's been too long. Zombies are immortal and have long since transcended the Three Realms. Perhaps they existed since Pangu created the world?"
Fang Yang didn't care about the Dao. There were too many legends about zombies in his previous life. The idea still existed in the Qing Dynasty. Fang Yang wasn't very clear about this life. There were still ghost stories, but the specific historical origins were unclear. They were just made up anyway, so why would anyone bother to find out the truth?
"I don't want to think about it anymore, it gives me a headache. But the screenwriter of your movie is really amazing, able to come up with such a brilliant storyline. I really don't know how your brain works."
"Heh, you're the kind of person who likes to nitpick. This story is purely fictional, you don't even know its origin?"
"Isn't it said that art imitates life? How can you make it sound so realistic if you haven't experienced it yourself?"
"Imagination, well, there's a saying that imagination is like rain falling from the sky; the higher the sky, the longer the rain. Without imagination, where would all the scientific development in this world come from? With imagination, we can find ways to reason, then verify, and finally meet the material needs of this entire world!"
"Hey, Fang Yang, I think you should become a scientist. Maybe this whole earth can't contain you anymore. You should conquer the entire universe. That's your best destiny!"
"Oh, how did you know? I come from the distant planet Gama. I was sent by our Alliance Leader to conquer the Solar System. But don't worry, once I become the Commander-in-Chief of the Solar System, you will be the Commander-in-Chief's wife."
Zhou Xin burst into laughter at Fang Yang's joke, "I never expected you to have a sense of humor, it's truly rare!"
"Everyone has a sense of humor; it's just a matter of how they express it."
Seeing Fang Yang deep in thought, Zhou Xin, fearing he might be distracted and affect his driving, changed the subject, "Your 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' has ended, is there a new novel to be released? The websites are buzzing about it!"
"It was already posted at noon. You probably didn't log in to the website, so you didn't see it."
"Oh, right. I didn't have time to go online at noon. Is this the next installment of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'? Didn't you say there were three in total?"
"No, it's a tomb raiding novel, it's a bit scary, you'd better not read it, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep afterward!"
Fang Yang clicked his tongue, recalling the scene of reading "Ghost Blows Out the Light" back then, and felt a chill down his spine. Even after so long, it still felt a bit scary. But strangely, as he wrote all this time, he didn't feel anything!
Zhou Xin got goosebumps from Fang Yang's words and couldn't help but rub her arms. "Why have you been writing so many ghost stories lately? They're really scary!"
Fang Yang was amused by Zhou Xin's appearance. "Readers get tired of the same thing. If you keep writing martial arts novels, it will cause readers to feel bored. So you need to make appropriate adjustments. Moreover, writing tomb raiding novels can also create a new trend. Let the authors of the website write some novels with the same name to enrich the novel library."
Zhou Xin nodded. "You've truly devoted yourself to this website, working tirelessly day and night. Look at any other boss, you're always so busy!"
Fang Yang hesitated, speechless for a moment, before finally saying, "While we're young, we should give it our all. When we get older, we won't have the energy to do so!"
"I didn't say you can't strive, I mean you need to delegate some tasks and let your subordinates handle them!"
"I know that. We're short-staffed right now, aren't we? You see, I don't manage much in terms of administration, but we're short-staffed in terms of directors. Our company is still in its early stages; it's not something that can be developed and perfected in a day or two!"
Zhou Xin frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "That makes sense, but I just hope you don't overwork yourself!"
As they approached the hotel, Fang Yang chuckled and said, "Don't worry so much. There's always a way out. Things will work themselves out in a few years."
Seeing Fang Yang slowly turn into the hotel parking lot, Zhou Xin exclaimed happily, "He's pretty fast! He seems much faster than before!"
"Of course! There were a lot of cars on the way there, so you couldn't go fast even if you wanted to. At night, there are fewer cars, so you can go much faster!"
After stopping the car, Fang Yang went to the trunk and took out the bags and packages. "I didn't realize how much I bought when I was buying them. I can't even carry all of them in one hand!"
Zhou Xin stepped forward and took a few bags as well. "Most of these are yours, okay? Now you're tired?"
"No, no, hahaha, it's just that you've had to put up with all that work. Go back and get some rest!"
Seeing that Zhou Xin's mood was turning sour, Fang Yang quickly backed down.
