Chu Nian came to a conclusion: This guy may seem impressive, but he's a bit mentally unstable; or maybe he just crawled out from underground and hasn't fully woken up yet!
Upon hearing her words, Lou Qianzong seemed to notice the state of her corpse and then threw her away.
She slumped back in the chair beside her, looking at the big shot with a hint of helplessness.
The guests were frightened and moved away, but the Taoist priest stepped forward and surrounded the two. They were initially worried that Chu Nian, the female corpse, would unleash her power, so they set up a barrier in time to temporarily restrain Chu Nian and prevent her from harming the guests who had not yet left.
But unexpectedly, through their conversation, they realized that the one who kept choking the female corpse was also a zombie. Didn't the female corpse just say they were the same kind?!
Under the watchful eyes of his fellow disciples, one of the Taoist masters quickly picked up the phone at the bar and dialed a number.
We couldn't even handle this one female corpse, how come another one has appeared? And judging from how easily he can grab the female corpse by the neck, he might be even more powerful than the female corpse.
However, the female corpse also said that her neck was already broken, so strangling wouldn't have helped! Didn't the male corpse realize the female corpse's neck was broken? That suggests he might not have been particularly strong...
The Celestial Masters were filled with various fears and speculations. Only Chu Nian felt that Lou Qianzong was a bit crazy, not even noticing whether her neck was broken; he might not have even noticed that she was one of his kind before.
If she wasn't approached because of her kind, then why did Lou Qianzong seek her out? Was it because the Witch Corpse Sect was destroyed?
Thinking of this, Chu Nian asked in confusion, "Lou Qianzong, what do you want to see me about?"
Lou Qianzong probably snapped out of his panic when he heard her call his name. He stared at Chu Nian for a moment before saying, "I just want to know who you really are."
Chu Nian: "I said, we are the same kind."
Lou Qianzong: "No, that's not it..." But as soon as he said that, he seemed to think of something and murmured, "Could it be because we are the same kind that we feel this way?" As he spoke, he touched his chest.
By the time they finished speaking, almost all the guests at the nightclub had left. The music and singing had all stopped, and the performers and singers on stage had vanished without a trace.
The nightclub, usually bustling with music and dance, was unusually quiet at this time, making the hurried footsteps coming from outside all the more noticeable.
Chu Nian, Lou Qianzong, and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the entrance. They saw several middle-aged and elderly men dressed as Taoist priests walk in one after another, followed by Jiang Yuxuan and Chen Baiteng, who had solemn expressions.
Chen Boteng is the behind-the-scenes boss of this nightclub. Chu Nian had just overheard the manager calling him, telling him that something had happened at the nightclub. It's not surprising that he's here with the female lead now.
As for those elderly Taoist priests, they were probably already tracking Lou Qianzong, and now they've just followed in his footsteps to S City, where they've just met up with the female lead.
Upon seeing them appear, Lou Qianzong, who was still dissatisfied with his identity as a corpse, sneered wickedly, put his hands in his pockets, leaned back, and sat down on the chair behind him, raising his long legs and putting them on the table in front of him.
That sitting posture... haha!
Chu Nian stared at him, somewhat bewildered: Just a moment ago you looked like you couldn't take the shock and were greatly shocked, and now, in such a short time, you've turned into this scoundrel of a wealthy family? Are you really a zombie? You're just a drama queen!
That said, this person emerged from the ancient tomb beneath the Witch Corpse Sect. Logically, it should have taken a thousand years of sedimentation to achieve such a powerful zombie body. In other words, he should have lived a thousand years ago. How come he entered the Republic of China era after only one day of waking up? Didn't he need to transition from the ancient era?
Also, where did he get that suit and vest that only rich young masters would wear? He couldn't possibly have been wearing that when he crawled out of the ancient tomb.
Chu Nian belatedly realized that this senior Lou Qianzong was shrouded in mystery!
Suddenly, Chen Boteng stared at Lou Qianzong and said in a low voice, "These clothes of yours are mine."
Chu Nian couldn't help but cough lightly: Well, so it knew what she was wondering just now? Quite timely. So it was stolen from the Chen family, pretty clever! Ha!
Lou Qianzong chuckled softly and leisurely picked up a glass of red wine to drink. For a zombie who had been buried underground since ancient times and had only been awakened for a day, his demeanor was surprisingly natural—as if he had lived in this era all along.
This thought sent alarm bells ringing in Chu Nian's mind: Are there other transmigrators in this world made up of books? However, she remembered that Cui Yu and Hei Wuchang had said that only she could merge with the bodies of the original owners in these worlds who were filled with resentment.
Moreover, if someone is a transmigrator, why would they worry about whether their physical body is human or a corpse? Just like Chu Nian, who changes bodies with each new time and space, this time the body is a corpse. He would simply treat it as a completely different life experience and wouldn't be so conflicted.
"Form the formation!" the leading old Taoist priest shouted sharply.
The Taoist priests' whisks immediately flew up.
Unexpectedly, Lou Qianzong said coolly and sarcastically, "Stop forming it!" With a wave of his hand, a burst of magical energy shot out from his fingertips, easily breaking the formation that the Taoists had just formed and which was not yet solid.
"The Taoist arts of Maoshan have always been so easily defeated." Lou Qianzong said, turning to look at the leading old Taoist. "Also, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet that I am the ancestor of you so-called Celestial Masters!"
Chu Nian found these words strange.
What's even stranger is that Chu Nian feels like she's experienced this situation before; it's so familiar!
“I know your stuff all too well. I advise you to save your energy! If you really want to catch some corpse to make your Maoshan name known…” Lou Qianzong said, turning to look at Chu Nian, his lips curling up in an evil smile, his voice even more sinister, “You might as well give this female corpse a try.”
Chu Nian couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
The onlookers found it a bit strange: why did these two seem to have a similar sinister look when they smiled? No wonder they were kindred spirits!
Then Chu Nian said, "Lou Qianzong, you don't actually think I'm afraid of you, do you?" Even if Lou Qianzong is indeed very strong, she might still be able to fight him. She just didn't want to fight him before.
Lou Qianzong shook his hand and said, "You're overthinking it. I don't think you're afraid of me at all. On the contrary, you woman..." He deliberately looked Chu Nian up and down, then down and up, "You look so glamorous on the surface, but it's hard to say what you're really like inside. As far as I know, some women are heartless, and anyone who meets them will be unlucky."
