Chu Nian felt like she was about to explode with anger, and said, "You talk like it's unlucky for anyone to meet you. Meeting you is what I call unlucky!"
Lou Qianzong finished his drink, waved towards the bar, and called out, "WATER!"
Would anyone believe he wasn't a time traveler?
The group of Taoist priests didn't understand what he was shouting, but the waiter did. He quickly glanced over and then turned to look at Chen Baiteng.
Chen Baiteng nodded to him. The waiter then asked, "How can I help you, sir?"
Lou Qianzong: "Another glass of red wine, please."
"Yes, sir, please wait a moment," the waiter said quickly, deftly preparing and serving the red wine.
He put down the wine and was about to leave when Lou Qianzong grabbed his hand. He looked at the other man in utter terror: he had seen everything that had happened—how this man had choked Miss Nian Nian. Regardless of how much force he used, the look in his eyes alone was terrifying.
But what he met was a wicked smile in his eyes, unlike the murderous intent he had shown when he was with Miss Nian Nian. Lou Qianzong asked with a laugh, "Do you have any cigars?"
The waiter could only turn to his boss again. Chen Boteng nodded to him once more. He then answered in a trembling voice, "Yes...yes, sir."
Lou Qianzong: "Give me one."
Waiter: "Yes, sir."
At the doorway, Chen Boteng asked Jiang Yuxuan in a low voice with surprise, "Are you sure you haven't found the wrong person... uh, a corpse? Look at him, how does he look like a zombie that has just crawled out of the ground after sleeping for thousands of years? He's obviously a person living in this era, and a gangster at that!"
Jiang Yuxuan was actually quite surprised by Lou Qianzong's behavior, but she didn't think her seniors would have chosen the wrong person.
She replied in a low voice, "You can't judge a book by its cover. You know, zombies have many strange and wonderful abilities. Maybe he has the ability to absorb other people's memories and use them! It's possible that he absorbed the memories of a rich young man and then imitated him."
Lou Qianzong had already pulled a lighter out of his pocket and lit his cigar with great style.
Chen Boteng stared at the lighter for a moment, then said with some resentment, "That lighter is mine too."
Jiang Yuxuan said with a hint of helplessness, "At a time like this, stop staring at your lighter."
Chen Boteng said helplessly, "But didn't you say that our Chen Mansion has long been protected by a Taoist array barrier that zombies can't get in? If he is a zombie, how did he get into the Chen Mansion and steal my clothes and lighter?"
These words reminded Jiang Yuxuan. She felt a cold sweat break out: she still did not doubt her elder's judgment, but felt that this zombie might be too powerful, so much so that it could enter and exit the array they had set up without any obstacles.
Dao formations are indeed useless against zombies that are far stronger than them.
Although the two of them spoke very softly, Chu Nian had excellent hearing and heard everything clearly, immediately gaining a new level of understanding of Lou Qianzong's abilities.
If she could use her spiritual power and the divine energy she gained in the previous fantasy world in this body, she would definitely be able to fight Lou Qianzong. However, neither of these two energies can be used in this zombie body, so she can only use her corpse energy, which is even weaker than Lou Qianzong's.
Lou Qianzong noticed her standing to one side staring at him, so he stopped drinking and smoking and asked her, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Nian didn't answer: She really didn't know how to answer. Should she say that she was thinking of ways to deal with this big zombie? Or at least that she needed to think of a way to prevent being dealt with by this big zombie?
Lou Qianzong chuckled twice and said, "Are you looking at me like that because you think I'm too handsome?"
Chu Nian remained silent.
Lou Qianzong chuckled wickedly, "Let me give you a piece of advice: don't be obsessed with me. I'm just a legend."
Chu Nian curled her lip: Damn it, you're saying my lines!
Lou Qianzong then shouted to the crowd surrounding him, "Stop crowding around! Go do what you're supposed to do! Doesn't your nightclub need to operate? Hurry up, start playing the music and singing..." He then looked at Chu Nian, "Little girl... fellow soulmate, aren't you a singer here? The top one, go sing!"
Chu Nian finally said, "You don't know that all the people gathered here are Taoist priests from Maoshan, do you?!" There were no guests left; they had all fled.
Lou Qianzong: "I told them to arrest you to make a name for themselves, but they won't do it. Since they won't do it, let's just leave it at that. What's the point? Do you really want to fight me and make them die? I'm a Buddhist and I don't like killing."
Chu Nian chuckled and calmly replied, "A demonic Buddha is still a Buddha!"
Lou Qianzong raised an eyebrow and looked over, his eyes brimming with a wicked charm. He chuckled, "Little girl, you're not very old, but you seem to know quite a bit about Buddhism! Should I reattach your neck?"
Well, I never expected that my words would be interpreted as an indication of my knowledge of Buddhism. Chu Nian chuckled and said, "No need, no need, I think it's fine this way too, it's more flexible than putting them together!"
These words almost made everyone present burst into laughter.
Jiang Yuxuan had already been secretly communicating with her master and senior brothers, discussing for a long time how to deal with the current situation.
To Chu Nian's surprise, they all left after discussing for a while. This was quite unlike the style of these Maoshan Taoists who always considered themselves righteous people: they always insisted on "eliminating evil completely".
However, they may have sensed that with both zombies present, it would be quite difficult for them to fight them simultaneously, so they temporarily retreated to think of a countermeasure.
After they left, Chen Boteng ordered the remaining waiters to tidy up, and the nightclub resumed operations. The dancers and musicians who had escaped backstage returned to the stage, the music started again, and Chu Nian went on stage to sing.
No one knew before that Miss Nian Nian's neck was broken, but now that everyone knows, the dancers all went off-step and the music played during her performance went out of tune as soon as she stepped on stage...
"What nonsense is this? Little girl, you're taking the wrong steps... Hey, you violinist, do you know your string is about to break?"
Everyone was already barely holding on, but now the only guest in the audience, the zombie boss Lou Qianzong, was pointing and yelling at the actors on stage.
Then there was a loud, piercing sound, and the cello string really broke.
Lou Qianzong had already stood up with a cigar in his mouth, and rolled his eyes helplessly when he heard the sound of the string breaking.
He pointed at Chen Boteng, who was still there, and questioned him, "You're the owner of this nightclub, right? How did you find these actors? They played the piano wrong, and their dance steps were all wrong..."
