Chapter 4, Old Friends

Is it another Taoist? I really am out of luck, encountering two in such a short time.

Today is not a special day, but for this bustling city, every night appears particularly enchanting. Even a small hot pot restaurant is filled with groups of patrons, and the modest establishment is teeming with a variety of people. The rich aroma of hot pot wafts throughout the restaurant, inevitably whetting one's appetite

"Did I not say not to give change? You can keep it for yourself..." Before I could finish my sentence, I was taken aback; it was not the waiter from earlier who called me, but an old man dressed in a suit and tie.

The old man smiled at my wary gaze and said, "Relax, I am not here to subdue you"

Although that kiss was too eager, even somewhat rough, at that moment, I couldn't care less about so much. You wanted to take me, but in the end, I subdued you. I won't kill you; taking a little advantage isn't too much to ask, right? ... To be honest, this girl's face is really soft ...

Because of my grandfather, they were unable to act against me. However, from the hatred in their eyes, I could see that they wanted to kill me.

"Grandpa Zhang, are you out catching ghosts again? You are so overweight now, can you still manage it?"

The suited old man did not answer me, but instead walked over to my side, squinting his eyes as he scrutinized me

I said, "I am here to study."

I awkwardly circled around. Indeed, having too much fame can also be a source of trouble

"You... you... I want to kill you!" Zhou Chuchu's pretty face flushed red, and she angrily shouted, "You shameless zombie, it's the first time I've seen a zombie so brazen..."

Therefore, I will naturally not be polite to them

Jiang Zhongyuan nodded and said with some pride: "We have quite a few prestigious schools in Jinhua City, so you have come to the right place. But which school are you planning to attend?"

"By the way, aren't you at Chenhai? How did you end up here at Jinhua?" Jiang Zhongyuan changed the topic, glanced at me, and said

Time seems to have come to a standstill

Wai and * Tu * Shu Gong is a Taoist, and he is a formidable Taoist. A capable entrepreneur can make money, and a capable Taoist can also make money.

"Tsk tsk, how fierce. I stared unblinkingly at Zhou Chuchu's chest, drooling as I sighed, 'It really is a great chest..."

Qingshan University. I answered truthfully

This is my grandfather, who lives freely and authentically

Alas ... ? ... If it weren't for that little woman Zhou Chuchu, why would I have fallen to this extent

Zombie King, just by hearing the name, one can tell it is a character of the highest rank, and it is only natural for her to feel apprehensive

Haha! I was just kidding! If I were the Zombie King, would I still need to launch a sneak attack? I saw Zhou Chuchu fall for it successfully, and I laughed heartily.

I waved my hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite. After all, we are not short of money

The premise is that you have not committed any heinous acts," the old man added.

Because I was sprinting too fast, the yellow talisman posted by Zhou Chuchu almost directly hit my head

Thus, I, who lived beside him, also rose to great heights along with him.

But what happens when both the police and the doctors are at a loss?

However, I found that this young girl was not afraid at all; instead, she stood gracefully without moving, showing no signs of fear whatsoever

After a day of running around, I arrived at a hot pot restaurant, famished. I ordered a large quantity of vegetables and fresh meat all at once, and then devoured the food ravenously

I looked at him in shock ... ... then my expression gradually turned cold ... ...

You... you won't kill me? I looked at him in surprise

Your youngest son has been possessed, 300 yuan will resolve it

I silently nodded and then spoke to the old man: "May I ask for your esteemed name, senior?"

Hey, Old Zhao, has your nose been stung by a bee? It seems to have grown a size larger again. Truly, you are living up to your name as the old man with a cow's nose!

So... you have deduced my relationship with my grandfather? I thought for a moment and said: Is there really no other existence of a half-human, half-zombie in this world?

The nights in Jinhua City seem to be more vibrant than those in ordinary cities, with the bustling buildings and various shining neon lights making the entire city resplendent and full of life. The high-end hotels are brightly lit, and there must be people inside toasting and drinking, intent on not stopping until they are intoxicated. The glass curtain walls of the office buildings have turned into gigantic display screens, switching between different advertisements and slogans

The old man glanced at me and smiled, saying: "Don't give me this pretentious act. We all know very well what kind of person you are in our line of work. My surname is Jiang, my given name is Zhongyuan, and I can be considered a fellow disciple of your grandfather. From now on, just call me Old Jiang."

Since this woman sees me as an enemy, it would be better to take the initiative and strike first, catching her off guard.

Hmm... Originally lying on the ground, Xiao Ming's body moved slightly, and he let out a murmuring sound, as if he was about to wake up... Zhou Chuchu was taken aback and walked towards Xiao Ming...

"How is that possible?" Zhou Chuchu furrowed her brows, "My talismans have never failed, why can't I subdue you?"

However, upon reflection, this turn of events is actually not a loss

"Do not move, if you do not wish to die," I said slowly

This is not about me showing off; my grandfather raised me all by himself. Without a source of income, how could he support my education? How could he afford for me to attend university?

Rotten zombie! Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will crush your bones to dust!

The old man smiled enigmatically and said, "I do not know you, but I know your grandfather"

I laughed heartily, ready to continue teasing, only to find that there seemed to be tears glistening in the beautiful eyes of this young lady

The waiter approached, glanced at my order, and politely said: "Sir, your total expenditure is 345 yuan"

I said to you ... ... '' I couldn't help but speak up

Zhou Chuchu seemed to have heard a noise behind her, and just as she was about to turn around in surprise, she suddenly realized that a sharp claw was already pressed against her neck

They do not welcome me at all, not at all. The reason is simple: I am a zombie, and they are the ones who kill zombies

... ...

Refreshing! This feeling is even more exhilarating!

The old man pondered for a moment and said: "I do not know... perhaps there is, perhaps there is not. But having lived more than half my life, the only thing I truly know is you"

Strange occurrences happen everywhere in this world ... After strange events occur, one must find a way to resolve them. Either consult a doctor or call the police

Wang Xiangu, why are you still wearing this outfit? This is the eighth time I have seen you in this outfit. Even though you are getting older, a woman should still maintain some image, shouldn't she?

Hmph! You foul zombie, how dare you attempt to ambush me? Now you know my strength, don't you?" Zhou Chuchu said triumphantly, deliberately pushing my unmoving head with her hand.

"Because ... ... I am the Zombie King." I coldly uttered these words

Since my grandfather is a renowned Taoist priest, he naturally has many acquaintances among fellow practitioners. Therefore, I inevitably encounter them as well

"What? You know my grandfather?" I was stunned, but then I thought for a moment and asked, "How do you know I am his grandson?"

Just as I was about to extend my palm and prepare to slap her unconscious, she suddenly let out a cold laugh, drew out a yellow talisman, and quickly贴 it to my forehead

What? Have you been possessed by a pig demon? Bah! I see that you have become this way because you are lazy and gluttonous...

At this moment, my grandfather made his appearance

Thus, those old fellows all harbor a deep hatred for me; with the exception of a very few individuals, the majority despise me to the core. Consequently, my reputation has become utterly tarnished within my grandfather's circle.

In the distance, one can still hear Zhou Chuchu's angry shouts

"How do you determine whether I have done something wrong?" I asked curiously, "Do you know me?"

So it is Mr. Jiang, what a pleasure to meet you. I often hear my grandfather mention you, I said while still maintaining a polite demeanor

I casually took out 400 yuan and handed it to him, saying: "No need to give change, consider the rest as a tip"

"Do you need something from me?" I asked with some confusion

With a loud "pop," my body came to an abrupt halt as I ran, and I became completely still.

What? Jiang Zhongyuan's expression suddenly turned to one of shock, "Qingshan University? Could it be... could it be that you don't know it's haunted there?"

Thus, I pouted my sausage-like lips and fiercely kissed the delicate cheeks of Zhou Chuchu...

Oh no! I went too far... I was startled

Of course, I did not harbor any murderous intent. Firstly, she did not do anything to me, and secondly, I am not the kind of perverse person who would harm a beautiful woman; I have a heart that cherishes and protects beauty. Therefore, my plan was to knock her unconscious and then jump off the train to escape

Having jumped off the train, I could only rely on my legs to rush through the night. Fortunately, after transforming into a zombie, my speed was far greater than that of an ordinary person. Thus, I finally arrived in Jinhua City by nightfall

Your mother has been haunted by a water ghost. Considering your filial piety, I will give you a 50% discount, making it a flat price of 400 yuan. What? Your family can't even afford meat? Sigh... Well, this time I will help you for free.

Zhou Chuchu widened her eyes, looking at me with a face full of disbelief, momentarily forgetting to resist

Jiang Zhongyuan sighed, shook his head, and said: "Your personality really resembles that of your grandfather."

It is not the behavior of a gentleman to make a girl cry, and it should still be possible to apologize now

After her expression gradually transformed from shock to fury, I knew it was about time... So I let go of her and leaped forward... elegantly jumping off the moving train

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. The waiter expressed his gratitude to me repeatedly with excitement, surprised and delighted that this small hot pot restaurant could actually receive tips

I, who was sealed by the talisman, suddenly opened my eyes wide, let out a barely audible soft laugh, and charged towards Zhou Chuchu...

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is based on mutual respect. If you do not respect me and constantly think of taking my life, who would still respect you

I picked up a steaming slice of fatty beef roll with my chopsticks, disregarding the scalding steam rising from it, and took a bite. The texture of the meat was exceptional, and my throat let out a satisfied gurgle. Then, I grabbed a glass of chilled beer from the table and drank it in one go

... ...

When a wealthy family sought his assistance, he did not hesitate to demand a high price. However, when a poor family was in trouble, he often did not charge any fees.

Thus, I am also determined to become a carefree and unrestrained person like my grandfather ... or a zombie. Therefore, I, who regard wealth as mere dirt, often spend money extravagantly! It's fine, we are not short of money!

Please wait a moment. A voice sounded

"Zombie King..." Zhou Chuchu's body trembled slightly, and she inhaled sharply. It seemed she also understood the meaning of the words I spoke.

I looked at the table full of food scraps and remnants of meat, patted my bulging belly, stood up, and was about to leave

My grandfather is very busy; I see him constantly occupied almost every day. It truly reflects the saying, the more skills one has, the more responsibilities one bears. ... Of course ... . ... the more money there is.

My speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, I rushed to the front of Zhou Chuchu. I deliberately bared my sharp teeth and emitted a beast-like sound, hoping to frighten her, and then take the opportunity to knock her out

I let out a satisfied burp and called out: "Waiter."

Zhou Chuchu gritted her teeth in anger and said: "Damn zombie, you better not let me catch you, otherwise I will definitely tear your mouth apart"

Why? Of course, it is because of that final kiss

The old man glanced at me and said淡淡地: "Although the compass in my room is spinning incessantly, I do not feel the slightest trace of the corpse aura on you. The only beings capable of achieving this, apart from ghostly entities of the level of a zombie king, are those like you who are half-human and half-zombie."

I enjoy being stared at by beautiful women, especially Zhou Chuchu. However, I do not like being stared at by an old man; the feeling is as strange as it can be.

Your daughter is being sought as a substitute by a female ghost. Given the momentum of this ghost, it is likely a vengeful spirit. Subdue one thousand female ghosts and drive away five hundred of them

"Are you a zombie?" the old man suddenly interrupted me.
