Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

"It's a pity that after I checked around, apart from this person, none of the security guards had any residual ghost energy. This means that the method of controlling them was extremely covert. Either the caster had extremely high cultivation, or they used some kind of special magic artifact."

"Does that mean Liu Santong has been watching us from the shadows all this time?" Qiu Sheng couldn't help but shudder. "What if he targets the townspeople again?"

Uncle Nine was silent for a moment: "Since he can control Awei to cause trouble at the mortuary, it means that his primordial spirit has recovered to the point where he can use magic. If he really wants to attack the people of the town, we can't save everyone."

"Then we can only wait for him to show himself." Four Eyes pushed his glasses up, saying impatiently, "What I hate most are these old sly foxes, who like to hide in the shadows and pull stunts. They're disgusting!"

"Go back and rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow." Uncle Nine shook his head. "Lin Bei, Shao Jian, you two will take turns keeping watch tonight, in case Liu Santong sends people to cause trouble again."

"Yes, Uncle-Master." The two replied simultaneously.

Everyone dispersed, and Wencai, clutching his arm, slowly walked back to his room. When he reached the corner, he couldn't help but look back.

Uncle Jiu walked up to Lin Bei and gave him a few more instructions before returning to his room!

Wen Cai quickly lowered his head, turned around and left. The jealousy in his heart was spreading silently!

On the other side, when Awei ran back to Renjia Town in a daze, the sky was already turning light.

His mind was a complete blank. He only remembered going to the brothel to drink, and then... and then he remembered nothing more. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on a small road outside the town.

Suddenly, a dark shadow darted into the room. Liu Santong pointed sharply, and a ghostly aura burrowed from his fingertip into Awei's brow.

"Master!" The eerie red glint in Awei's eyes reappeared.

"You really like Ren Tingting?"

Awei paused for a moment, then nodded: "I do like her, but she doesn't like me!"

Liu Santong chuckled, then pulled out a dark red talisman from his sleeve, with strange patterns drawn on it: "With this talisman, no matter how chaste and virtuous she is, I guarantee she'll obediently submit to you."

"What kind of talisman is this?" Awei's eyes flashed!

Liu Santong handed the talisman to Awei: "This talisman is called the Mind-Bewitching Talisman. Burn it to ashes, mix it with water, and have that girl drink it. She will then obey you completely. If you want her to go east, she will never go west."

After taking the talisman, Awei revealed a sinister smile: "Hehehe, with this talisman, let's see how Ren Tingting refuses now. The Ren family's property is mine!"

. . . . . .

In the following days, Awei changed from his usual dejected state and became unusually energetic.

He always finds excuses to go to the Ren family's house!

Ren Tingting initially ignored him completely. Every time Awei came, she would have the housekeeper block him at the door and refuse to see him.

But she could hide forever. Ah Wei came for seven or eight days in a row, rain or shine, appearing at the Ren residence gate on time every day.

At first, the townspeople laughed at him, saying he was like a toad trying to eat swan meat. But over time, some people started to think that although the kid was unreliable, his persistence was quite admirable.

On the afternoon of the ninth day, Ren Tingting couldn't stand the annoyance any longer and finally let the housekeeper let Awei in.

Awei beamed as he entered, his eyes crinkling with a smile: "Cousin! You've finally decided to see me!"

Ren Tingting sat in the main room, not even pouring him tea, and said coldly, "Awei, what exactly do you want? How many times have I told you, I don't like you. Give up on that idea."

Awei rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Cousin, don't be so harsh. We're relatives, after all. I came to see you because I care about you..."

"Is that what you call caring about me?" Ren Tingting glared at him. "You come to my doorstep every day, and the whole street is gossiping that I'm going to marry you!"

"Do you think I don't know what you're up to?" Ren Tingting said disdainfully.

"Let them spread it..." Awei muttered, and while Ren Tingting turned her head, he quickly pulled out a dark red talisman from his sleeve. With a flick of his fingers, the talisman silently burned into a wisp of green smoke, which mixed into the tea.

Then, to Awei's expectant gaze, Ren Tingting drank the bowl of tea.

A moment later, her eyes suddenly became somewhat unfocused. She shook her head and then returned to normal.

Awei stared at her nervously, and when he saw the change in her expression, he felt a sudden sense of relief.

He quickly moved closer and tried to say, "Cousin, I've really thought things through these past few days. I know I was unreliable before, but I'll definitely change. Can you give me a chance?"

Ren Tingting looked up at him, her expression calm!

"Okay."

Awei almost thought he had misheard: "You... what did you say?"

"I said okay." Ren Tingting's tone was completely calm. "Go back and prepare. Pick a good day, and we'll get married."

Seeing Ren Tingting's strong reaction, Awei gasped in astonishment. Was the talisman his master gave him really that powerful?

Awei stood there stunned for a while, then suddenly stood up: "Okay, okay! I'll go back and get ready right now!"

He turned and ran out of the Ren residence!

Before long, the news spread and the entire Renjia Town was in an uproar!

"Hey, did you guys hear? Captain Wei is going to marry into the Ren family and marry Ren Tingting!"

"What?! Ren Tingting? Didn't she always look down on Awei?"

"Who knows! I saw Awei leave the Ren residence with my own eyes a couple of days ago, and Ren Tingting even personally saw him off at the door, all smiles!"

"How is that possible? Miss Ren has such high standards. Ever since she came back, so many matchmakers have come and she hasn't liked a single one of them. How come she suddenly took a fancy to that bastard Awei?"

"I heard that Miss Ren herself revealed that Ah Wei has been taking good care of her these days..."

"Take care of her? With Awei's character, he should be grateful if he doesn't bully her, let alone take care of her!"

"Hey! You don't understand, women's minds change so quickly!"

As the saying goes, "Women don't love men who aren't a little bad!"

Everyone in the teahouses and taverns was talking about it, and even the security guards themselves were bewildered.

"When did the captain start dating Miss Ren? There wasn't a whisper of it. The captain's been keeping it a secret for a long time!"

"Didn't they say Miss Ren didn't like our captain? How come she's getting married so soon?"

At the mortuary, Qiu Sheng's expression was off when he returned from town. He entered the courtyard, leaned his bicycle against the wall, and hurried to the entrance of the main room: "Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Uncle Nine was sitting in the main room drinking tea, half-flipped through a yellowed booklet in his hand. Hearing this, he looked up and asked, "What's all the fuss about?"

"Ren Tingting is going to marry Awei!" Qiu Sheng's words were like a thunderbolt.
