Jiang Yuxuan asked, "What do you think?"
Chen Boteng was even more helpless and said, "Human life is at stake! Is this something I can decide on my own? Shouldn't we have evidence?"
Anyway, his precious younger sister is convinced that Luo Nian committed suicide and insists on protecting Chang Fenglin. Now that she knows the mansion has a protective barrier that prevents the female corpse from entering, she tells Chang Fenglin not to step outside the mansion.
Chen Boteng looked down on Chang Fenglin's character, but whether Chang Fenglin actually killed Luo Nian was something he couldn't say for sure.
Jiang Yuxuan turned her gaze to the stage.
Chen Boteng also looked over.
The woman on the stage, dancing gently to the melody, looked so vibrant, radiating youthful energy and vitality. Who could tell that she was a female corpse?
Jiang Yuxuan said quietly, "Tell me, what do you think? Should we ask her directly and see if the answer we get is true or false?"
Chen Boteng sighed helplessly, "I don't know." He paused, then asked, "Does it matter whether she hanged herself or was strangled by Chang Fenglin?"
Jiang Yuxuan said, "Do you think it's not important? If this matter is sent to the police station, the two causes of death will result in completely different sentencing results!"
If one enters the underworld, whether it was suicide or homicide, the destination will be completely different. In the underworld, the sin of a person who commits suicide is equivalent to that of murder, and they will go to hell and cannot be directly reincarnated.
Luo Nian likely didn't want to go to the underworld for this reason. Moreover, even if she committed suicide, it was largely due to Chang Fenglin's betrayal, so it's understandable that she wanted revenge.
Chen Boteng nodded.
While they were talking in hushed tones, two young singers were also whispering amongst themselves backstage.
Singer Yao Huan: "I really didn't expect that Luo Nian would steal all our thunder after only a few days here."
Singer Mi Lu: "Who can blame me when I can write my own songs, and they're all so popular?"
Yao Huan: "Tch, I don't believe she wrote this herself. When have you ever seen her working on a melody and lyrics?"
Mi Lu: "Even if she didn't write them herself, the fact that she can produce these songs means someone is secretly helping her. Let's not even think about it."
Yao Huan: "Look at that guy sitting over there, talking to a woman who's dressed really badly... That's Chen Boteng, the real boss behind our nightclub!" Through the gap in the stage curtain, she pointed to Chen Boteng sitting in a good spot in the lobby.
Milu looked in the direction she was pointing and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" But in her heart she was exclaiming: My God, this boss is so handsome!
Yao Huan: "Didn't you see Luo Nian sitting and talking with him just now? But it seems that when Luo Nian went back on stage to sing, Boss Chen's expression wasn't very good!"
Mi Lu: "No way, could it be that Luo Nian has offended the big boss behind the scenes in just a few days?"
Yao Huan: "Who do you think is that woman sitting across from Boss Chen?"
Mi Lu said, "Who knows? Maybe she's his cousin or something!" Anyway, she didn't think of it as a woman that Boss Chen liked.
Both she and Yao Huan felt that this woman's unfashionable appearance made it impossible for Boss Chen to be interested in her.
Although Chu Nian was singing on stage, she had excellent hearing and could hear the conversations and chatter between the two sides clearly.
She found both sides of the group to be quite boring.
Putting aside the idle chatter between the two young singers, just considering Jiang Yuxuan's statement that she wanted to ask how the female corpse died, even if she said she was strangled by Chang Fenglin, would the Celestial Masters believe her? Not to mention them, even the Chen siblings probably wouldn't be able to believe her completely.
So, what else is there to ask?
However, Chu Nian guessed that she might not be bored for long—she had made a major discovery.
The Witch Corpse Sect has been destroyed, but at this very moment, strange energy is spewing from the ground to the surface from the desolate mountains where this sect was located.
Actually, the town of X where the original owner lived wasn't particularly far from City S; otherwise, a young girl like her wouldn't have been able to find her way to City S. The deep mountains where the Corpse Witch Sect was located were in the direction of Town X, but not far from City S either.
Although Chu Nian's mental energy couldn't be used externally, she could still probe within this corpse. Moreover, she felt that the energy gushing from the ground in that mountain forest was very similar to the energy in her current body, suggesting it was the same type of energy: corpse energy.
Therefore, she sensed it very clearly.
Chu Nian then recalled a major villainous boss in the story: the Corpse King Lou Qianzong. To be precise, he should be called "Qian Zongzi," a super giant zongzi, the strongest zombie in the story who appeared out of nowhere. The female protagonist mobilized the strength of many powerful members of the entire Daoist sect and spent countless efforts to create the Five Harmony Formation, which was the only way to successfully seal him.
It was a seal, not an annihilation. Even with the female protagonist's halo and the full power of the entire Taoist sect—not just Maoshan—Jiang Yuxuan still failed to eliminate this giant zombie, which shows how powerful it was.
His appearance occurred midway through the story, and his successful annihilation happened close to the finale. However, Chu Nian's current timeline seems to be at the very beginning of the story!
However, considering the timing of his appearance in the story, it does indeed occur after the female lead destroys the Corpse Witch Sect. Therefore, his appearance might be related to the destruction of the Corpse Witch Sect.
It was already late at night when the nightclub closed. Chu Nian took a car back to the apartment the manager had rented for her, only to find several people following her.
Sigh, those few minor Taoist masters from Maoshan, with their meager skills, actually thought they could follow her? She didn't want to call them overconfident, but that was the truth!
After returning home and waiting quietly for a while, with the doors, windows and lights closed, making it seem as if she had fallen asleep, she quietly slipped into the yard.
There were Maoshan people guarding outside. But Chu Nian had been living right under their noses for several days without them noticing she was a female corpse. Now that they were going out to investigate, how could they possibly discover her?
Chu Nian shielded himself from all external perceptions and secretly made his way to the deep mountains where the Witch Corpse Sect was located.
As a giant zombie feared by all the celestial masters, her speed was naturally incredibly fast, especially in the dead of night, when it was the perfect time for zombies to move around.
She quickly returned to the location of the Corpse Witch Sect that she had destroyed, only to find that what should have been a large open space, the Corpse Witch Sect's training ground, had now sunk into a huge pit.
Numerous strange symbols can be found under the soil and gravel, as well as a coffin covered with symbols.
However, Chu Nian was certain that this was a fake coffin, and it was empty inside. The coffin was intact inside and out, indicating that no large corpse had come out of it.
Chu Nian discovered a passage on one side of the deep pit, leading to another very luxuriously constructed tomb chamber. There was another coffin there, but the coffin lid had been opened from the inside out—this was the real tomb chamber.
Sure enough, a large zombie came out from inside.
During Chu Nianwei's investigation, he discovered several more fake tomb chambers.
