The light swayed back and forth with the soft sword, giving it a shimmering, green-water-like appearance.
Seeing this, Chu Nian laughed twice, then leaped up and disappeared like the wind, teasingly saying, "A bunch of idiots, I scared you!" Before he finished speaking, he had vanished without a trace.
Upon seeing this, Chen Boteng couldn't help but chuckle twice.
Jiang Yuxuan felt that his laughter was somewhat grating and made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Who...who is this person?" the burly man cursed, pointing in the direction Chu Nian had gone.
The handsome young man said helplessly, "Senior Brother Fang, she is not human, she is a corpse."
The burly man rolled his eyes, put the soft sword back at his waist, and covered it with his outer coat like a belt, so no one could tell that a sword was hidden inside.
He exclaimed, "Even a corpse wouldn't be like this!"
"Yu Xuan, no, Miss Jiang, can you tell me clearly and explicitly who you are?" Chen Baiteng asked in a somewhat cold voice.
Jiang Yuxuan sensed his displeasure and quickly said, "Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. I will try to enter the Chen Mansion. My sect knew in advance that this female corpse might be detrimental to the Chen Mansion, so they sent me to guard it."
She recounted in detail how Zhang Pengju, somewhat terrified after the destruction of the Witch Corpse Sect, went to Maoshan to ask them to come out of seclusion and subdue the female corpse.
After tonight's events, Chen Boteng realized that the woman in the red wedding dress was no ordinary person. After hearing Jiang Yuxuan's account, he believed her to some extent. However, there was still one thing he didn't understand, so he asked in bewilderment, "You said that Luo Nian was a female corpse, but I see that she looks no different from us living people."
Jiang Yuxuan said, "That's why I said she was a highly poisonous zombie."
The burly man said with some trepidation, "Just how strong is she? How come even the Underworld's special device for exorcising ghosts and destroying corpses can't do anything to her? The scariest thing is that the Underworld's special device for exorcising ghosts and destroying corpses melted away when she touched it."
Mentioning this matter caused Jiang Yuxuan another pang of heartache, and she was also very troubled by the matter of subduing the female corpse.
The handsome young man said, "Senior Sister Jiang, Senior Brother Fang, I don't think Luo Nian is a villain. Look at her, she clearly had a chance to seriously injure us just now, but she didn't make a move and left instead."
“Junior Brother Lan, don’t talk nonsense.” Jiang Yuxuan sighed as she spoke. “You and I both know that these zombies need to cultivate with living people to become stronger. The reason she is so powerful now is probably because she used the disciples of the Witch Corpse Sect to cultivate.”
Everyone who heard this was horrified.
Before long, the servants had worked together to bring the nearly terrified Chang Fenglin back. At this point, Chang Fenglin had passed out, whether from the impact himself or something else.
These people were unaware of the dramatic scene that had just unfolded at the mansion's entrance. Under Chen Baiteng's orders, Chang Fenglin was escorted into the mansion, and a doctor was brought in to treat him.
Chen Boteng called Chen Baiying to his study for a detailed talk. He had previously thought that Chang Fenglin was just a bit of a womanizer and couldn't forget his childhood fiancée, so he thought that as long as he restrained him, he could make him devote himself to Chen Baiying.
But now, Chang Fenglin actually killed his childhood fiancée under his threat, which completely changes the nature of the situation.
Chang Fenglin doesn't want to solve problems in a positive way; instead, he chooses to kill. This person's nature is exceptionally wicked. Chen Boteng cannot allow his sister to continue living with such a person.
This time, Chen Boteng told Chen Baiying everything he knew.
Chu Nian was quite satisfied with what she had learned about what was happening in the mansion. Her goal in this operation was to make a scene. If she could force the Chen family to drive Chang Fenglin out of the mansion, she should have a chance to make her move.
However, something else pained Chu Nian: she was running out of money. The money for the small inn was from the gold bracelet on the original owner's wrist. Now, that money was almost gone.
That gold bracelet was the only valuable thing the original owner owned. From now on, Chu Nian would have to earn her own living.
When she was scouting the area, she noticed that the nightclubs near the Chen family's company were very lively and must be doing good business. Moreover, they had just posted advertisements for singers yesterday.
So, the next day, Chu Nian put on high heels and an elegant cheongsam and went to that nightclub. With her acting prowess as a movie star in her lifetime, applying for a job as a singer in the Republican era would be a piece of cake!
She appeared on the stage of the nightclub that very night.
"I want to steal a glance at him, pretending to admire a vase of flowers..."
The song "Heart's Desire" is an old song in the modern world of the future, but it is a new song in this era and quickly became a favorite among the guests.
Chu Nian even released a series of new songs with different styles that no one had sung before, which made the nightclub's business several times better than before, almost squeezing out other equally famous nightclubs in S City.
In just one week, Chu Nian became the top singer at the New Jue Nightclub, her salary increased several times over, and she was even chauffeured around. Her life became exceptionally comfortable.
The nightclub manager even rented a nice apartment for Chu Nian, complete with servants and bodyguards.
Therefore, the Maoshan Taoists staying at the small inn discovered that the female corpse Luo Nian had disappeared for the past few days: they had never noticed that she was a female corpse when they stayed at the small inn together before.
On this day, Chen Boteng, who was discussing business with someone at the New Jue Nightclub, was attracted by the song on stage and turned his head to look. He was almost startled by the person on stage and jumped up.
His business partner across from him followed his gaze and couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, that's Luo Nian, the rising star of your Xinjue Nightclub. As the behind-the-scenes owner of Xinjue Nightclub, you don't even know her?"
Everyone calls her Niannian. Look at her appearance and listen to her singing voice; in just a few days, she's captivated countless celebrities in our S City! So, Mr. Chen, are you tempted too?
"I'm not just moved, I have a heart attack!" Chen Boteng said helplessly, terrified.
He quickly went to the bar, picked up the telephone, and called the mansion to tell Jiang Yuxuan, who was still temporarily staying there, about seeing Luo Nian there.
After he hung up the phone, he turned around and found that the singer on stage had changed. He was a little worried that Luo Nian might run away after discovering his arrival. As he walked back to his previous seat, he was surprised to see Luo Nian sitting next to him, chatting and laughing with his business partner!
Chen Boteng stood to the side, looking somewhat hesitant: Should he continue forward, or forward, or forward?
His business partner, Mr. Wu, had already seen him and quickly waved and said with a smile, "Hey, Mr. Chen, come over here quickly! Miss Nian is taking a break, so I specially invited her over to chat with us for a bit." Then he enthusiastically introduced her to Chu Nian: "This is Mr. Chen Baiteng from Fenghui Company. You may not know this, but this Xinjue Nightclub is under his company's name."
