Chapter 206 - 206: Rainy Night, Overpass, Maybach



Driving the car with both hands on the wheel, Lu Xuan mentally applauded the author of the novel Cheng Lingzhu was reading. A zombie wife might be unconventional, but there’s a taste for everything, right?

As they chatted and drove, they soon arrived at the Jinyan Overpass. The rain blurred the overpass, merging it with the darkness of the night. The Nestorian Mother Mary statue beside Lu Xuan started to tremble.

Lu Xuan accelerated as he drove onto the overpass. It was now 2 a.m., and he could sense that apart from himself and Cheng Lingzhu, there were no other living beings on the entire overpass.

Large raindrops pelted down, drumming loudly against the windshield of the black sedan. Lu Xuan watched the speedometer’s needle climb: 80, 100, 120… 200, 240… As the speed increased, the statue’s trembling grew more intense, and the bloody tears under its eyelids became more pronounced.

When the speedometer hit 300, Lu Xuan said, “Found you.” A layer of clear light covered the car, breaking through an invisible barrier, and they forcibly entered another world.

Cold, desolate, decrepit, and barren…

Lu Xuan slowly stopped the car.

A few meters behind them was a pale curtain of rain that isolated the sounds of the city. They had arrived in an ancient town, its architectural style not matching that of the western Dayan of this world but rather resembling the golden-haired, blue-eyed tribes of the Eastern Continent.

At the center of the town stood a tall, slender building with a spire, in a Gothic style.

“Let’s go in and have a look, ” Lu Xuan said, casting a spell to store the car in his sleeve.

The town was eerily quiet, as if all its inhabitants were deep in slumber.

The duo didn’t linger on the outskirts and headed straight for the church. The church doors were ajar, unlocked.

Pushing the door open, the sight that greeted them was startling.

From the church’s dome dangled numerous ropes, and at the end of each rope hung a corpse. These well-preserved bodies were dressed in ancient clothing and exuded a powerful aura.

The church was filled with these hanging mummified bodies, densely packed together. Looking up, they saw a huge skull-like face at the top of the church. From its face grew beard-like structures, forming the “ropes” from which the mummies were suspended.

At that moment, a dark light appeared on one of the mummified bodies, and the rope around its neck loosened. The mummy transformed into a streak of light and disappeared. In its place, a new figure materialized, modernly dressed, with the beard-like rope binding its neck despite its struggles.

More ancient mummies were replaced with contemporary ones, indicating a sinister transformation.

Lu Xuan, realizing what was happening, pointed at the giant skull on the dome. “This is a method of soul transference. The figures hanging here are likely followers of some malevolent deity. Today, this deity intends to release its followers, allowing them to take over the bodies they’ve chosen and infiltrate society in the guise of Yuan Xing’s inhabitants.”

People like Du’s cousin and uncle hadn’t gone mad; their souls had been severed.

The solution, however, was straightforward for Lu Xuan. Drawing his sword, he stabbed upwards, releasing a blinding white light that engulfed the entire world.

Almost simultaneously, at Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital, the elderly and young men kneeling on the ground slowly raised their heads, their eyes no longer muddled but gradually regaining clarity.

That same night, around 3 a.m., the Tianshu Administration’s local office in Ancheng was bustling.

“Alert, alert, significant fluctuations detected near Jinyan Overpass!” “Seal off the Jinyan Overpass! Special Operations, mobilize immediately!”

“A church has appeared on Jinyan Overpass!”

“It’s possibly related to a Taboo Master…”

“The scientific report from the Academy is out. This is a remnant of ‘Jing Xian’! ”

“Jing Xian… confirmed dead. Someone entered its divine domain and killed this Taboo Master!”

“My God, who could have done this? Am I dreaming?”

“Wait, could it be… That one?”

“You mean… The Silent Master? After defeating Hydra last night, now Jing Xian tonight?”

“Is the disparity between Taboo Masters really that vast?”

“Why would they help humanity? What’s their motive…”

For the members of the Tianshu Administration in Ancheng and nationwide, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day in Ancheng, at the Haixia Mall, Cheng Lingzhu and Lu Xuan were at a men’s clothing brand counter.

“Hello, madam, are you here to shop for clothes with your boyfriend?” the enthusiastic sales assistant asked.

“Um… You could say he’s my husband,” Cheng Lingzhu corrected seriously.

The sales assistant was slightly taken aback, noting how young they both appeared. Lu Xuan, meanwhile, stretched languidly. The initial plan was to buy clothes for Cheng Lingzhu, but she insisted on picking outfits for him first.

Cheng Lingzhu confidently selected several outfits for Lu Xuan. “This, this… and this, this… Let’s pack these first, and then you can try them on. I’m sure you’ll look great.’

Passersby couldn’t help but glance over at them repeatedly. Despite their efforts to appear ordinary, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu’s exceptional looks still attracted much attention.

Feeling the envious stares, Cheng Lingzhu proudly lifted her chin and, standing on tiptoe, planted a firm kiss on Lu Xuan’s face. This public display of affection made many onlookers grind their teeth in envy.

“Alright, let’s go try these on,” she said, pulling Lu Xuan towards the fitting rooms. She felt almost possessive about her attractive husband and disliked the idea of others ogling him.

Lu Xuan feigned a conservative demeanor. “In public, I’m quite reserved…”

“No one saw,” Cheng Lingzhu replied, playfully pinching his waist and pushing him into the fitting room.

Within half a minute, Lu Xuan reappeared from the fitting room with a small camera in his hand. “This is disgraceful,” he said solemnly, disapproving of the hidden camera in the dressing room.

Cheng Lingzhu’s expression darkened upon seeing the device. Her Phoenix Blood Sword appeared in her hand, ready to take action against the one who dared to spy on her husband.

Cheng Lingzhu’s temperament had softened considerably compared to her previous life as a fierce killer, largely thanks to Lu Xuan’s influence.

Lu Xuan believed he had contributed significantly to the stability of the Archean Eon Realm by transforming a killer into such a charming person, deserving a meritous golden body.

“No need,” Lu Xuan quickly intervened, “Going after them would be too troublesome, and besides, they didn’t succeed… Let me handle this.”

He lightly touched the camera, casting a curse through it. “I used a minor trick from the Thousand Beast Sect,” he explained with a slight smile, crushing the camera. “From today, the person who placed this will gradually lose interest in humans and instead develop a certain desire for animals….”
