Lou Qianzong thought of the demonic talisman she had used to injure the Daoist sect members, and remained silent: That kind of thing, which could be said to originate from ancient times, wasn't something everyone could possess. He had some suspicion that this female corpse came from the same place as his friend.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chu Nian didn't dwell on it too much and simply asked, "So, do you agree to the deal I proposed?"
Lou Qianzong: "Do you think I really care about the reactions of those people who come here to have fun?"
Chu Nianqi asked, "Then why did you agree to let me use this set of paper and pens for one night in exchange for three English songs?"
Lou Qianzong: "I just want to see what it's like to hear the English songs you mentioned sung."
Chu Nian stared at him with some puzzlement: If Lou Qianzong was a time traveler, he wouldn't be curious and puzzled about what kind of experience singing and listening to "English songs" would bring. The fact that he said this at least shows that he had never heard English songs before—which doesn't seem like he was a time traveler.
But if we say he wasn't a time traveler, then many of the mysteries surrounding him become difficult to explain.
Could it be that he originally lived in the Republic of China era and then traveled back to that era?
Lou Qianzong smiled wickedly and said, "Woman, you're staring at me like that because you're curious about me? You should know that curiosity is the fuse for love. I've told you, don't be obsessed with me, I'm just a legend."
"Why is this guy so narcissistic?" Chu Nian thought to herself, speechless, but said aloud, "I think Chen Boteng seems to have a crush on you."
Lou Qianzong was taken aback, probably not expecting Chu Nian to suddenly change the subject! Then his face flushed red, and after a long while, he coughed lightly and said, "What are you thinking about all day long at such a young age?"
Chu Nian: "Didn't you notice? When he looks at you, his eyes shine like stars, and he always grants your requests."
She discovered that Lou Qianzong, the main antagonist of the book, was actually blushing! Judging from Lou Qianzong's blushing, she guessed that this main antagonist was also gay.
Whether it was Chu Nian's smile that betrayed her true thoughts or not, Lou Qianzong's expression suddenly turned cold. He said, "Little zombie, get this straight, Chen Baiteng is not my type at all. Besides, I already have someone I like." As he said this, his face turned slightly red.
Chu Nian felt as if she could already hear his heart pounding when he said, "I already have someone I like." She was incredibly curious: she really wanted to meet the person he liked!
However, Chu Nian only hummed in response to this matter and had no other reaction: Curiosity is curiosity, but what does it matter to me what type you like? Anyway, I'm leaving as soon as I finish my mission.
The main problem is, he can't possibly tell you even if you ask!
Chu Nian then said, "Or, how about we make another deal?"
Lou Qianzong continued with a disdainful look: "Do you have anything on you that I would trade with you for?"
Chu Nian: "I can give you a magic talisman, the kind I used to defeat the Maoshan Taoist priests before."
Lou Qianzong raised an eyebrow, looking at him with disdain in his eyes, and said, "Sorry, I don't lack those kinds of talismans." Although those kinds of demonic talismans were indeed something that only existed in the ancient cultivation era for others, everyone might lack them, but he certainly didn't!
Chu Nian thought for a moment and then said, "I have methods and spells for corpse cultivation, which I can exchange with you."
Lou Qianzong: "Sorry, I don't need any."
Chu Nian was in a real bind: Did this old bastard travel from a fantasy world?
Lou Qianzong suddenly approached her with a wicked smile and whispered in her ear, "How about we exchange the answers to a few questions?"
"Questions?" Chu Nian was taken aback. "You want to ask: Who am I? Or: Where did my magic talisman come from?"
Lou Qianzong leaned back in his chair and said coolly, "Yes!" He had probably already figured out that Chu Nian didn't want to answer these questions, so naturally he wouldn't use the answers to these questions as a bargaining chip.
There was a moment of silence inside, then a knock came at the door, followed by Chen Boteng's voice: "Mr. Lou, the nightclub is closed. Shall we go back to the Chen Mansion?"
“Okay…” Lou Qianzong said, then suddenly thought of something and changed his mind, “Never mind, I still don’t really like crowded environments. I’m planning to rent a courtyard in a secluded place with few people and live by myself.”
Chu Nian: Aren't you going to open the door for people?
She was quite diligent; she got up and opened the door, only to find that not only Chen Baiteng was standing there, but also Zhou Qianqian.
She was a little surprised. In this day and age, how could a rich young lady like Zhou Qianqian dare to stay out all night?
Zhou Qianqian questioned her, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Nian had no choice but to admit, "I just didn't expect that Miss Zhou wouldn't be home yet, even at this late hour..."
Zhou Qianqian interrupted her, saying, "I've already called home and told them I'll be sleeping with Sister Baiying tonight." She paused, then added, "Brother Chang passed away, and Sister Baiying needs my comfort!"
Chang Fenglin had only been dead for an hour, but she had already spent the entire night at the nightclub. No one could believe her story.
Chen Boteng's face was as black as hell: I just don't know why it was black.
He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lou, at this time, it may not be easy to find a new place to rent. Why don't you stay at the Chen Mansion for two days? I guarantee that I will find a quiet courtyard that will satisfy you in two days."
Lou Qianzong sighed softly and said, "Alright!" He finally put away his long legs, got up and went to the door.
As soon as Chen Boteng and Zhou Qianqian saw him approach, their faces unconsciously lit up with sunny smiles.
Chu Nian shook her head helplessly: These two are both infatuated!
"Miss Nian Nian and I have something to discuss. You two go to the car and wait." Lou Qianzong suddenly said, pulling Chu Nian into the house and closing the door behind him.
"I agree to make a deal with you, on the condition that you divert the attention of those two outside the door from me," Lou Qianzong said, a rare hint of helplessness appearing on his usually wicked face, his brows furrowed into knots.
Chu Nian chuckled a few times.
Lou Qianzong angrily demanded, "What are you laughing at?"
Chu Nian laughed and said, "The second most lovable person in the world is someone who is stubborn but soft-hearted; the most lovable person in the world is someone with a slim waist and long legs who is both stubborn and soft-hearted." (Note)
Lou Qianzong said coldly, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Hurry up, what are your conditions?"
Chu Nian: "Help me kill someone?"
Lou Qianzong: "Who?"
Chu Nian: "Zhang Pengju, a remnant of the Witch Corpse Sect."
Lou Qianzong: "Where is he now?"
Chu Nian: "We should hide in Maoshan. Instead of dealing with these vicious corpse-refining people, those Maoshan Taoists are keeping an eye on the two of us. It's so annoying."
