I logged into Mr. Zombie

Chapter 598 He said he wanted to marry me!
The capital city, dusk.

Tan Wenjie rode a donkey and queued to enter the city.

There were several people ahead of them in line, but because it was close to the time when the city gates would close, and because the group was carrying weapons, the security check process was a little more complicated.

The people ahead of us are all top-notch experts.

Especially three of them: the man with the receding hairline, the man with the plaster on his back, and the man with pockmarks and a black nose.

He was not particularly handsome, but his aura was steady and terrifying. From Tan Wenjie's perspective, he was not far from achieving enlightenment through martial arts and could be called a top master in the martial arts world.

If I'm not mistaken, they must have pre-booked top experts from the Forbidden City: Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, and Lu Xiaofeng.

When Tan Wenjie looked at them, they also turned to look at him.

They are all equally good-looking.

But suddenly their expressions changed.

"Martial law will be in effect soon. I heard that there will be a competition between top masters at the Forbidden City on the night of the full moon." Da Fengsao whispered to Tan Wenjie, "People from the martial arts world need to submit an application to enter the capital."

"Is this happening?"

"Tsk!" x3
As top-tier martial arts masters who are obsessed with martial arts, and who are handsome, powerful, and charming to the point of captivating countless girls, the trio would only despise Tan Wenjie's ostentatious behavior of taking girls out for a stroll.

Bringing two along at once, and riding little donkeys at that, he's practically the lowest of the low among martial arts masters, making people envious... Ugh, disgusting!

Tan Wenjie walked forward.

"Go back to line up!" The soldier guarding the gate's expression changed. "I hate you bunch of江湖人 (jianghu people) the most. What, you think you're so great just because you know martial arts?"

The trio remained silent.

Tan Wenjie then took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed them over casually.

A thick stack of paper, with a very strong visual impact.

"How could someone be offering a bribe?"

"Yes, bribery is definitely suspicious. We demand a thorough investigation!"

The soldier glared at Tan Wenjie and said angrily, "Are you underestimating me?"

He had long heard of a corrupt atmosphere in officialdom, and after guarding the gate for so many years, today he finally let that corrupt atmosphere blow in.

Tan Wenjie didn't say anything, but just flicked his hand as if to stuff the banknote back into his pocket.

"Wait! There's something I need to make clear first." The soldier lowered his voice, "I'm just a lowly soldier. My biggest authority is to open and close the doors according to a set schedule. Your demands are too high; I can't help you with that."

“No need, we just want to go in.” Tan Wenjie pointed to himself and the two sassy girls.

The two throwing knives behind stretched their necks and forced smiles, trying to get noticed, but Tan Wenjie raised his hand and pressed them back down.

Paying for VIP fast-track access is quite reasonable, isn't it?

"Is that all?" The soldier looked at the silver note in his hand, then at Tan Wenjie. "Do you have a place to stay tonight? To be honest, my wife has been home alone lately, and I often stay up late guarding the gate."

My wife is just sitting around doing nothing anyway, so I might as well earn some extra money.

Tan Wenjie looked disdainful and said righteously, "Ahem, we'll talk about it later."

"Please come in!"

"Hmm." Tan Wenjie strutted arrogantly through the city gate with the air of a nouveau riche.

"Damn it!" the Mediterranean man who had just shouted about bribery exclaimed indignantly. "Are you really letting him in? This is the capital city!"

Another man with a plaster on his head nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's utterly despicable!"

The gatekeeper, now back in position, looked down at them: "What, you trying to break through the checkpoint?"

Mediterranean tossed his head, strands of hair fluttering around his ears: "Hmph, I wanted to ask, what should we fill in this place?"

"Fill in your gender!"

……

"Ah Jie, I heard that tonight, on the night of the full moon, there will be a duel between unparalleled masters at the Forbidden City." Da Fengsao excitedly grabbed Tan Wenjie's arm.

"Be more reserved." Tan Wenjie pulled his arm away.

Unfortunately, his martial arts skills were simply not up to par, and his mastery of the flamboyant chest-grabbing technique was too solid, making it impossible for him to break free.

"Then let's just grab a good spot to watch the competition."

He came to the capital to watch a contest between masters, but the three unremarkable, even ugly, men he had just seen gave him a bad feeling.

This time, the Forbidden City summit is probably going to be a bit of an eyesore.

"I've heard that Ximen Chuixue has long, flowing hair and an extraordinary temperament."

"Yes, that fits." Tan Wenjie recalled for a moment and nodded slightly.

"You've met Ximen Chuixue?" Da Fengsao asked in surprise.

Tan Wenjie nodded in agreement but didn't explicitly say so. Women love surprises, and he believed that Da Fengsao would be very surprised when she saw Ximen Chuixue tonight.

"I definitely want an autographed copy when the time comes."

Having no time to pay attention to the delusional Da Fengshao, Tan Wenjie turned to search for the location of the evil energy.

He could sense the evil aura even before he got close to the capital, but once he entered the city, the evil aura disappeared without a trace.

It seems we are simply too close to the forest for the trees.

"By the way, brother-in-law, you said we should go watch the martial arts competition at the Forbidden City together. How can we sneak into the palace?" Little Fengsao Ling asked, leaning closer.

"Brother-in-law?" Tan Wenjie turned his head in surprise.

"What, you don't want to?" The flamboyant woman crossed her arms, snorted, and turned her head away.

After quickly counting to three in her mind and finding no sound, she glanced anxiously at Tan Wenjie and saw him looking at her, so she turned her head away again.

Tan Wenjie looked at Da Fengsao, who was practically turning into a rattle drum on the spot: "..."

"Yes, if you're okay with it, then of course I'm okay with it too."

His chastity and marriage will be refreshed in every new world. Reincarnation can be considered a brand new beginning. Why can't he start over in a different world?

The flamboyant guy was stunned: "Huh?"

Whose heartbeat is this? It keeps ringing in my ears, it's so noisy.

And why has my mouth suddenly stopped speaking? Why is my brain not working anymore?

hum-

"Sister! Sister!"

After being pushed several times, Da Fengsao finally came to her senses, only to find that Tan Wenjie was no longer by her side.

"He said he wanted to marry me, but wait, where is he?"

"gone."

"what?"

Xiao Fengsao said, "You suddenly froze and didn't move. My brother-in-law and I couldn't wake you up. He also had other things to do, so he left first."

“Men have their own things to do, that’s normal,” Da Fengsao said. “Let’s go home and cook for A-Jie.”

"Sister, wake up! We've only just arrived in the capital. We don't have a home yet."

"Then let's buy one."

"Housing prices in Beijing are very high."

"With the bounties on the Thirteen Eagles and the Four Death Gods, it should be enough for the down payment."

"Wake up!"

On the other side, Tan Wenjie stood solemnly at the entrance of the brothel.

The beautiful women in front of him looked like painted skeletons, and the scent of rouge was unbearably pungent to him.

What was truly astonishing was the wisp of evil energy, which seemed to have its own consciousness as it moved among the crowd without harming anyone.

"Evil spirits are growing right under the emperor's nose, but they don't target ordinary people. What exactly are they trying to do... It's so hard to guess."

"Young master, it's been quite a while since you last visited!"

The madam came over, waving her handkerchief.

In her eyes, there is no distinction between handsome and ugly, only between those with more and less money. If she can squeeze some money out of them, she doesn't care whether they are human or ghost.

On the contrary, she would get a headache every time she saw those poor, penniless literati who liked to write poetry and paint. They were stingy, provided free food and drink, and even disturbed the peace of mind of their daughters, making them not to work properly.

"I'm looking for a girl."

"Everyone who comes here is looking for a girl," the madam said with a coquettish smile. "I can tell from your eyes, sir, that you are a devoted lover. What kind of girl are you looking for?"

"I can't quite remember. Could you call a few more over so it'll be easier for me to find them?" Tan Wenjie had an extra piece of silver in his hand.

"Look at what you're saying~" The madam quickly reached out and grabbed the money. "I used to be a matchmaker, and I can't stand seeing lovers separated. Otherwise, how could I have opened a brothel like this? You agree, right? It's all to help those who are destined to be together. Please come in, sir."

Tan Wenjie followed him into the private room.

Fruits, snacks, and other refreshments had already been prepared. He had barely sat down when a group of beautiful women pushed open the door and entered. "Young Master~" *N
Tan Wenjie: "Change the batch!"

"..."*N
This young master doesn't seem to be the lovelorn man the madam described. He's more like a seasoned womanizer and a regular at brothels.

"Change to another batch."

"..."

"Change the batch!"

"..."

"Change!"

"Young master, this time it's really all gone." The madam was covered in sweat.

Tan Wenjie exclaimed "Hey!" and a piece of gold fell out of his sleeve. After bouncing twice, it landed precisely in front of the madam's toes.

"Oh, young master, you're really careless."

Tan Wenjie: "Really gone?"

"Yes! There is also a beauty from the Jin Kingdom, but she does not entertain guests."

Tan Wenjie's sleeve twitched again, and another small piece fell out.

"She'll take it! She'll definitely take it!" The madam happily picked up the gold. "I'll find her right away; she's definitely your destined one."

"Go quickly!" Tan Wenjie waved his hand, then looked at the five girls who were about to leave, "Since you're already here, can't you dance?"

"Replying to Young Master, we are proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

"Play music, dance!" Tan Wenjie waved his hand.

The money's already spent, so we can't waste it.

Amidst the music, her graceful figure could not be concealed by her long, flowing dress.

Tan Wenjie was enjoying the music with his legs crossed when he suddenly heard a crisp "tap tap tap" of footsteps precisely cutting into the music, unhurried yet carrying a strange flavor.

The door creaked open, and a woman in a long dress slowly entered the room.

Little Dragon Girl? Aunt?

She looked at Tan Wenjie, her right eyebrow slightly raised.

Her waist swayed like a willow in the breeze, her arms moved with their own rhythm, and her whole being was like a gentle fire, burning with desire.

However, in Tan Wenjie's eyes, the flamboyant appearance was like a layer of oil floating on the surface of the water. He looked down and saw a huge, strange, black thing writhing its body.

It was a huge mass of evil energy.

"You're the person I've been looking for." Tan Wenjie smiled at the woman. "What's your name, young lady?"

"Qin Cao".

"What an ugly name."

"Young Master is joking."

"I'll pay you to laugh, so you laugh."

Qin Cao: "..."

The rhythm of her speech was completely different from what she had imagined.

The smile on her face gradually faded, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

The other performers on set also sensed something was wrong and dared not move, trembling with fear.

"Hahaha, I was just kidding." Tan Wenjie laughed heartily. "Look at you, were you scared by my acting skills?"

Qin Cao also covered her mouth and laughed: "Hahaha, young master~ you really scared me to death just now. I thought I had done something to upset you."

"Seeing such a beautiful woman as Qin Cao, even the worst mood will immediately improve."

You're so naughty~

"How much does the girl charge?"

"I don't take clients, and my prices are very high. But if it's you, young master, I can do it for free."

"That won't do. I may lack many things, but I don't lack money. Otherwise, if you want to talk about feelings with me, wouldn't I be at a greater disadvantage?"

"Haha, young master, you're joking again."

"It's not open."

"..."X2
Tan Wenjie was basically certain that the woman in front of him, Qin Cao, was a large-scale embodiment of evil energy, and what she originally was was no longer important.

Although he was very disrespectful, Qin Cao tried her best to maintain a seemingly gentle demeanor.

"Young master, I'm not feeling well and would like to go back and rest first."

"Please."

Qin Cao smiled and nodded, then got up and left.

"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard." Tan Wenjie clapped his hands, handed out money, and sent everyone away.

Today is our first encounter with a collective of evil forces; caution is advised.

Once the other party's identity and location are confirmed, there will be plenty of time to slowly cause her trouble in the future.

Leaving the brothel, Tan Wenjie turned and glanced upstairs, his eyes meeting those of Qin Cao, who was standing by the window.

He smiled and nodded, and the other person nodded in response.

At the same time, both of them were thinking to themselves: Has he seen through my identity?

"Fine, you really came out of the brothel!"

Tan Wenjie had only taken two steps forward when he was blocked by Da Fengsao.

She put her hands on her hips and said aggressively, "Didn't you say you had important things to do? Why did you go to a place like that to mess around? Those women are filthy. Let me tell you, even if you do that, you can't leave me. You said you would marry me."

Tan Wenjie: "Going home for dinner?"

Feng Erniang's imposing aura subsided, and a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Alright."

All the dark clouds have dissipated, leaving only clear skies and bright sunshine.

She once again took the initiative to grab Tan Wenjie's arm with a grappling hook, resting her head on his shoulder, and the two walked further and further away, snuggling together.

Qin Cao stood by the window watching this scene, her pupils flashing red light.

The night of the full moon finally arrived, at the summit of the Forbidden City.

Tan Wenjie led Feng Erniang and Feng Ling to an excellent viewing platform.

Under the moonlight, masters confront each other.

"That's Ximen Chuixue?" Feng Erniang's eyes widened.

Nobody told her that Simon Chuixue was Mediterranean.

"Wait, could that guy with the plaster on his face be Lu Xiaofeng?"

“That’s Ye Gucheng.”

Tan Wenjie rolled his eyes.

Fake fans!

Using the process of elimination, the remaining one must be Lu Xiaofeng.

Feng Erniang: "..."

She had imagined many scenarios where her illusions were shattered, like being rescued by a peerless master and ultimately forced to repay him with her body.

But from now on, she may no longer believe rumors circulating in the martial arts world.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you guys doing?!"

Suddenly, someone leaped onto the roof, shattering the tense atmosphere between the two masters.

"This is Ling Ling Fa, one of the 'Forbidden City Spy' characters. You guys are disturbing the peace by staying up all night!"

"Brother, it's a martial arts competition at the Forbidden City, give me some face."

"Everyone cares about their image, so it's very difficult for me."

"I'll make an exception for you." Ye Gucheng handed over a secret manual.

"What is this? A celestial being descending from the heavens? Tch!" Ling Ling Fa casually tossed the manual aside. "Only a fool would learn this. You're leaving immediately, or you'll face the consequences. My martial arts are quite formidable!"

He performed half a set of long fist punches on the spot, but then lost his footing and fell, rolling down the eaves.

Just as he was falling from the sky, he saw Ye Gucheng and the others gracefully leaving with their light-footed skills, like wild geese spreading their wings.

Tan Wenjie caught the secret manual: "The Celestial Immortal?"
