"Can you shut up!" Chu Nian cursed impatiently. Why was this guy so noisy?
Lou Qianzong glared at Chu Nian: "How dare you, a little girl, speak to me, the zombie ancestor, like that?"
Chu Nian: "Don't you think you're being too noisy? Can't you have some self-awareness as a zombie ancestor?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Boteng roared, "Both of you shut up!"
When Chu Nian and Lou Qianzong's gazes flashed like lightning and they looked at him in a flash, his heart skipped a beat, but he still mustered his courage and said, "I'm telling you two, when those Maoshan Taoist masters left together just now, didn't you think about what they were going to do? You two zombies, instead of taking advantage of the fact that they're not ready to kill you, you should hurry up and leave and flee to the deep mountains and forests, what are you shouting about here?"
Faced with Chu Nian and Lou Qianzong's cold gazes, Chen Boteng had a little difficulty breathing, but he felt that he should still say what he wanted to say: "Although Miss Jiang told me a lot about how terrible zombies are, I have seen that you have not harmed us ordinary people since you appeared."
And you don't eat ordinary food like us humans, nor do you necessarily need to absorb the life force of living people to survive, so I really don't want to see you... you know what I mean, just because you're zombies!
To be honest, he actually wanted those two zombies to leave his nightclub as soon as possible. Even without Luo Nian as the singer's signature, at least the nightclub could continue operating. But now... look, the musicians and dancers are all terrified!
However, after listening to his seemingly heartfelt advice, the two zombies remained silent for a while. Then, Lou Qianzong shouted towards the stage, "Musician, hurry up and fix the strings! Girls, hurry up and sing and dance!" After saying that, he plopped back down into the large chair.
Everyone on stage looked at Chen Boteng with teary eyes, pleading for help. But Chen Boteng was also in a bind; he couldn't help but twitch his lips for a long time when he met their gazes.
Lou Qianzong had already put his long legs back on the table, practically lying on the large chair, and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? I love this kind of singing and dancing in nightclubs. If you don't start singing and dancing, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Chen Boteng could only wave to the crowd on stage. The music finally started playing again. Chu Nian also began to sing.
Lou Qianzong seemed to be really enjoying himself; he closed his eyes and raised one hand to tap along to the music, looking completely absorbed in the music.
Chu Nian's songs are always very charming and often move people deeply. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the top singer at New Jue Nightclub in just a few days after she started performing.
Perhaps for this reason, Lou Qianzong opened his eyes as he listened, stopped drinking and smoking, and just stared at Chu Nian who was singing on the stage, his expression shifting between light and dark.
Fearing something might happen, Chen Boteng, being a responsible boss, didn't rush to leave. However, he was sitting near the bar, and although he was still some distance away from Lou Qianzong, he could still feel the powerful aura emanating from him, which was much more oppressive than when he and the group of celestial masters had arrived together.
Chu Nian wondered which line or phrase she had used to offend this corpse, and why it suddenly became unhappy.
To her surprise, Lou Qianzong suddenly stood up, rushed onto the stage, shoved Chu Nian aside, and said, "Get out of the way! I'll do it!"
Chu Nian:......
To Chu Nian's utter surprise, Lou Qianzong waved his hand at the musicians and dancers behind him without turning his head and shouted, "Stop!"
No one dared to disobey, and the stage instantly fell silent.
But then Lou Qianzong reached out and made a gesture in the air, and a pipa appeared in his arms.
Not only the people present, but even the other zombie, Chu Nian, were so shocked that their mouths were agape, staring at Lou Qianzong in disbelief.
Then, Lou Qianzong's hands, more beautiful than a woman's, gently plucked and strummed the pipa, and it rang out with a clear, mournful sound that pierced the space, filled with utter desolation and sorrow.
Although it was just the opening melody, Chu Nian was certain that she was very familiar with it.
When Lou Qianzong started singing, Chu Nian became even more certain that this was the song she had heard in the modern world—and it was even a Cantonese song!
"In my dream, a hundred flowers bloomed in full glory, but upon waking, they were gone. I gave a thousand loves, only to be met with a thousand hates; my vows have turned to sorrow..."
As soon as Lou Qianzong began to sing, everyone present was amazed and immediately captivated by his poignant voice, and they too were moved to tears.
Chu Nian was not only shocked, but also very frustrated: This person's singing was not only moving, but also her singing skills were in no way inferior to hers. Moreover, it was a duet between a man and a woman. It was impossible not to amaze the audience.
Chu Nian began to suspect that this person was trying to steal her job, and what she would rely on to make a living in the future.
Chen Boteng, who was drinking in the audience and feeling overwhelmed by the current situation of his nightclub, turned his head unconsciously upon hearing the song and stared at Lou Qianzong on the stage with utter amazement.
Chu Nian was speechless: "I hope Chen Boteng doesn't get turned gay by this giant zombie. Please don't! You're the male lead!"
What she couldn't understand the most was that when she listened to Lou Qianzong's songs, she seemed to deeply feel the thousand kinds of love and hate intertwined in Lou Qianzong's heart, and she was also in great pain, so much so that tears flowed uncontrollably and her heart started to ache again.
She really didn't understand what kind of magic Lou Qianzong had used: in her opinion, Lou Qianzong probably hadn't used any magic at all, but it was still able to give her angina.
She clutched her chest and walked off the stage, tears streaming down her face.
She needs some peace and quiet!
She walked to a table in the corner and sat down.
Perhaps Lou Qianzong's stunning singing voice reached outside, for guests began to walk in. They were all astonished to see that the singer on stage was a man.
"Oh my god, such a beautiful song is sung by a man."
"Yes, what a beautiful song! You can't tell it's sung by a man at all by a female voice."
"This man is amazing!"
...
As more and more guests arrived, so did the discussions, with all eyes, whether in amazement or admiration, falling on Lou Qianzong.
The waiter was terrified and whispered to Chen Boteng at the bar, "Boss, what should we do?" These later guests didn't know the person on stage was a zombie yet; what if they found out...?
Chen Boteng glanced at Chu Nian in the corner—she was already clutching her chest and crying her eyes out, her expression incredibly complicated as she looked at Lou Qianzong on the stage.
He said with deep emotion, "Although they are zombies, they were still harmed by humans. In the end, we humans are far more terrifying than zombies." He turned to the waiter and sighed helplessly.
