Chu Nian's lips twitched slightly as she asked, "What are you eating?" Did bubble gum already exist in this era? The moment, the place, and the situation felt so incongruous!
Lou Qianzong: "A kind of candy."
Chu Nian: "Where did you come from?"
Lou Qianzong: "It was a gift from my friend."
Chu Nian: "What kind of friend gave it to you?"
Lou Qianzong raised an eyebrow, smiled wickedly, and said, "You've asked me several questions in a row, isn't it my turn to ask you one? If you can answer truthfully, I'll tell you the answer to this question."
Chu Nian's lips twitched, and she inexplicably felt like she had been tricked: Lou Qianzong had obediently answered several of her questions, could he have been waiting for her here?
Lou Qianzong chewed, then opened his mouth and blew a huge bubble, which then popped with a "pop".
Chu Nian said with a stern face, "Ask away."
Lou Qianzong: "How do you know my name?"
Chu Nian could only make up a story: "I saw it in the records of the Witch Corpse Sect."
Lou Qianzong chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Little girl, you're so young, aren't you ashamed to lie?"
Chu Nian said with a serious face, "I'm telling the truth." Anyway, she couldn't say that she had transmigrated from another world, and that this world was the world in the book. She only knew about Lou Qianzong because she understood the general plot of the book.
Lou Qianzong: "Four hundred years ago, because my lifespan was nearing its end, my friend couldn't bear to see me perish like this, so he cast an array to seal me in a special coffin and secretly sent me underground to the Corpse Witch Sect, using the Corpse Witch Sect's corpse-nurturing energy to help me cultivate my corpse. How could the Corpse Witch Sect allow other corpses to steal the corpse energy they refined? Therefore, from beginning to end, the Corpse Witch Sect had no idea of my existence."
Chu Nian's eyelids twitched as she listened, and she asked, "Is this friend of yours the same friend who gave you the candy?"
Lou Qianzong: "None of your business!"
Chu Nian remained silent, then suddenly realized with a start that these worlds in the books might contain a whole host of transmigrators besides her! The underworld is constantly bullying me!
Lou Qianzong's voice turned sinister: "Answer the questions honestly, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Chu Nian could even sense the killing intent emanating from him, and said somewhat helplessly, "Why do you insist on knowing why I know your name?"
Lou Qianzong pondered for a moment and said, "Is this question difficult to answer?"
Chu Nian: "Yes."
Lou Qianzong raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, then I'll ask another question."
Huh? Chu Nian was a little incredulous. How could this guy be so easy to talk to?
Lou Qianzong actually asked the same question as the Taoist priest Dai Xi: "Where did you get the talisman you just activated?"
Chu Nian asked in surprise, "Why are you asking this question too?"
Lou Qianzong: "You're just a little zombie who's only been around for a few years, yet you possess a demonic talisman from the golden age of cultivation thousands of years ago. I'm wondering where you got this talisman. Is that so strange?"
Thousands of years ago, during the golden age of cultivation?! Chu Nian wondered if Lou Qianzong was related to that era. But she answered aloud, "I found him."
Lou Qianzong: "You're kidding me!"
Before the words had even faded, a door creaked open not far away. The Zhou residence, located across the street from the apartment, had opened its doors as dawn broke.
A girl's voice came from inside the door: "Miss, you're going out so early. The master and mistress will probably worry if they find out."
"Oh, just don't tell them. Sister Baiying invited me to have breakfast together, and then we're going shopping together. If they ask me anything, just say I'll be back before dinner."
As they were talking, a young girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old dressed in Western clothes walked out of the Zhou mansion. Behind her followed closely a young maid of about the same age, who looked worried and helpless.
Hearing what the girl in the Western-style dress was saying, Chu Nian immediately thought of another antagonist in the plot besides Chen Baiying, named Zhou Qianqian. Because the Zhou and Chen families were old friends, she and Chen Boteng and his sister could be said to have grown up together since childhood, and she and Chen Boteng had a childhood sweetheart vibe.
In the early part of the story, the female lead and Chen Boteng were not yet truly in love; Chen Boteng only had a strong liking for the female lead, and Chen Boying, as the mistress, often made things difficult for the female lead, who was a maid in the Chen mansion. However, later in the story, Chen Boteng fell in love with the female lead, and this second antagonist, the female supporting character, appeared.
However, it's still the beginning of the story, not even the early stages. Zhou Qianqian and the female lead Jiang Yuxuan have only met a few times at the Chen Mansion, so they're definitely not at the point of fighting yet.
As soon as she stepped out of her house, she was shocked to see that the once luxurious apartment across the street had been turned into a pile of ruins overnight. Around the ruins lay several old Taoist priests, several young men, and even Jiang Yuxuan, the maid Chen Boteng had picked up from the street.
"Hey, aren't you..." She exclaimed, pointing at Jiang Yuxuan, who was lying on the ground with blood at the corner of her mouth and looking in this direction. But before she could finish speaking, her gaze fell on the man leaning against a car a few hundred meters behind Jiang Yuxuan.
The first thing she noticed about the man was his exquisite clothes. She immediately recognized them as the ones Chen Boteng had ordered, which must have just been made and he hadn't had a chance to wear them yet.
Her gaze then shifted upwards, and she finally saw the man's face. She was instantly stunned, her bright, sparkling eyes seeming to say, "Who is he? He's so handsome! How can he be so handsome..."
To be honest, the plot doesn't describe Lou Qianzong's appearance and temperament much; it focuses on his power and his struggle with the female lead, a highly talented celestial master.
However, Zhou Qianqian is a complete fangirl, because Chen Boteng is arguably the most handsome man in the entire book, and she's hopelessly infatuated with him. In the original story, as an ordinary person, Zhou Qianqian naturally wouldn't have had the chance to meet Lou Qianzong.
It was probably Chu Nian's intervention that led to Zhou Qianqian and Lou Qianzong's chance encounter.
As Zhou Qianqian stared at Lou Qianzong, who was completely infatuated, Lou Qianzong, of course, also sensed the naked lust in the young girl's eyes, and his gaze turned extremely sinister.
Chu Nian felt it best for her to stay away and not get involved in this affair between a lovesick girl and an extremely handsome man. So she turned and left.
Unexpectedly, her shoulder tightened, and in the next instant, she was pulled into Lou Qianzong's arms. Startled, she turned her head and met Lou Qianzong's extremely wicked smile, and even his eyes were filled with sinister intent.
"Darling, where are we going?" Lou Qianzong asked in a voice that was both sinister and gentle.
Chu Nian dared to guarantee that even without seeing his face, just hearing his voice would make countless women's hearts flutter.
Damn it! This zombie drama queen is back online! Chu Nian wanted to curse Lou Qianzong's ancestors for eighteen generations.
