Matchmaker Li quickly asked, "What method? Village chief, please tell me!"
“Our village has been guarding the tomb of Marquis Wu for generations. We grew up listening to the heroic deeds of Marquis Wu, and my daughter, A Xiang, especially admires him greatly.”
The village chief paused for a moment and then said, "If possible, my daughter is willing to take the place of this female zombie and form a ghost marriage with the Marquis of Wu."
If Xia Linyin hadn't just analyzed what she said, Li the matchmaker would definitely have been thrilled to hear the village chief say that. She had already calculated A Xiang's birth date and time at the dinner table last night, and it was compatible with that of the Marquis of Wu. Moreover, A Xiang was beautiful, and it was indeed very suitable for her to replace the female zombie and form a ghost marriage with the Marquis of Wu.
But now, thinking of what Xia Linyin had just said, and recalling the village chief's request for her to help Ah Xiang with her birth date and fortune telling last night, Matchmaker Li immediately flew into a rage and questioned, "Village chief, did you do this thing about the female corpse?!"
Old Wu and Fatty glared at the village chief with unfriendly expressions. Wang Ming shouted, "You! You must have done this! You wanted your daughter to become the queen of King Wu, so you deliberately raped the female corpse!"
The village chief paused for a moment, then turned his gaze over Xia Linyin and the others.
He didn't expect things to be exposed so quickly, but what could he do now that they were exposed? Did the matchmaker and her group still have any other choice?
The village chief didn't try to deny it, nor did he panic at being caught red-handed. Instead, he directly abandoned all pretense and admitted, "So what if I did it?"
"You—" Matchmaker Li pointed at the village chief, her fingers trembling with rage. She pulled out a handful of talismans and threw them at him. "You heartless bastard, how could you do such a beastly thing!"
The village chief glanced at the talisman with disdain, then casually burned it all to ashes with a flick of his sleeve.
Xia Linyin and the other players looked at each other in bewilderment.
Holy crap! Is the village chief cheating?
They knew about Matchmaker Li's skills; she was incredibly adept at using paper talismans, and could create lifelike paper figures with ease.
Now the village chief easily neutralized the talisman used by Matchmaker Li!
Can a village chief from a cemetery-guarding village really be that powerful?
Wouldn't the tomb be even more dangerous then?
A look of surprise flashed across Matchmaker Li's face, and then she waved her hand and tore off the talisman on the forehead of the thousand-year-old female zombie.
The female zombie suddenly opened her eyes, and with a loud "bang," the sedan chair shattered into pieces. The female zombie's figure jumped out of the sedan chair and landed on the ground with a "thud."
The bluestone slabs surrounding the exquisite embroidered shoes were all cracked, winding like a spider web.
Matchmaker Li rang her bell, and amidst the clear sound, the female zombie hopped around and then leaped toward the village chief.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
Each time the female zombie landed, it sounded like a sledgehammer striking the ground, making a heart-stopping sound.
Her incredibly red fingernails grew several inches longer, and she opened her mouth, revealing two sharp teeth, as the female zombie lunged at the village chief's neck.
With a roar, the village chief sent the heavy female zombie flying, then with a tap of his toes, he gripped her neck with his five fingers forming a claw.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Accompanied by the village chief's arrogant laughter, the female zombie's body trembled and withered away at a visible speed.
"Father! Leave some for your daughter!"
A coquettish voice, tinged with a hint of pleading, rang out. The village chief tossed the female zombie toward Ah Xiang, saying, "Alright! You still have five hundred years of internal energy left, Daddy will leave it to you!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Ah Xiang's face lit up with joy. After grabbing the female zombie, she absorbed its power like a village chief, her expression one of blissful ecstasy.
The female zombie's originally smooth and plump skin quickly became dull and lifeless, becoming increasingly shriveled, until it finally turned into a mummy-like desiccated corpse.
In the blink of an eye, the female zombie was reduced to skin and bones.
Seeing the situation before him, Wang Ming's jaw nearly dislocated from his open mouth. Oh my god!
Even the NPCs in just two random villages are this powerful!
They've even used the Star Absorbing Technique!
I'm so glad I didn't start cursing at the village chief, or I would have been sucked dry in no time!
Even if all of them were combined, they wouldn't be a match for this village chief!
A thousand-year-old female zombie! A zombie who could stomp out a huge crater with a single step, whose fingernails were sharper than blades! The village chief and his daughter sucked her dry in no time!
Ah Xiang tossed the female zombie in her hand like trash. After touching her smooth face, she skipped and hopped towards the village chief, saying happily, "Daddy! You've become younger again!"
The village chief nodded, then looked at Matchmaker Li, "Well? Isn't my daughter more worthy of Marquis Wu than this thousand-year-old female zombie? Matchmaker Li, I believe you are a smart woman. It wouldn't be good if we delayed the appointed time. You don't want Marquis Wu to be displeased, do you?"
Matchmaker Li was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder, but she was helpless. However, she couldn't swallow her anger if she simply gave in to the village chief's wishes.
"Since things have come to this, it would be wonderful if Miss A Xiang were willing to marry King Wu Hou."
After saying this with a forced smile, Matchmaker Li changed the subject, "However, this female zombie has no parents, and Miss A Xiang's biological father is still alive. If the village chief is willing to come with us to the tomb of Marquis Wu and attend the wedding of Marquis Wu and Miss A Xiang, I believe Marquis Wu will be very happy."
“Well…” the village chief stroked his chin and pondered, “Matchmaker Li is right.”
He then added, "However, as the village chief of the tomb-guarding village, I really can't get away. So let my son take my place as his father and accompany his sister into the tomb of Marquis Wu."
Matchmaker Li was astonished; the village chief actually had another son?!
The village chief instructed his servant, "Bring the young master down."
"Rolling—rolling—"
It's him! It's the little boy she saw last night!
Xia Linyin looked at the little boy sitting in the wheelchair.
Without the dimming and shrouding of lights, his skin was almost transparently white in the sunlight. It wasn't the deathly white of a female corpse that looked like it had been smeared with flour, but rather the kind of white that hadn't seen the sun for a long time, with a fragile, morbid beauty.
Xia Linyin noticed that there were strips of white cloth wrapped around his slender wrists.
"Xiao Li, your sister is about to marry King Wuhou and become his queen. Since you have nothing to do at home anyway, why don't you accompany your sister to King Wuhou's tomb?" the village chief said directly.
"Okay." No questions were asked, and no other words were spoken; the single syllable faded away with the wind.
"Good boy." The village chief smiled with satisfaction.
