Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

After everyone arrived in town, Ren Shichang had already arranged for a sumptuous dinner to be prepared at the inn.

During the meal, Ren Shichang frequently toasted Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian, his words carrying a deliberate attempt to be overly friendly.

"Master Lin, you'll need to stay a few extra days on your journey back to Maoshan this time."

"Renjia Town may not be as big as some other places, but its scenery is still quite nice."

Lin Bei raised his glass in response, but in his heart he was pondering Ren Shichang's attitude.

This was clearly a veiled message, seemingly an attempt to match him up with Ren Zhuzhu.

Shi Shaojian, standing to the side, watched with envy, took a sip of wine, and muttered to himself.

"How come this junior brother has such good luck with women?"

"First it was Ren Tingting, then Qingqing, and now Ren Zhuzhu... What a mess."

His muttering was neither too loud nor too soft, and it was just enough for Ah Hao, who was standing next to him, to hear it.

Ah Hao's eyes darted around; he was already resentful that Lin Bei had made him call him "senior brother."

Seeing Ren Zhuzhu stealing glances at Lin Bei from time to time, he felt even more jealous.

"These two fellow disciples must have some kind of conflict!"

He thought to himself, "As long as I can win over Shi Shaojian, I don't believe I can't deal with that Lin Bei."

He leaned closer to Shi Shaojian and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Shi, it seems you're not entirely satisfied with Lin Bei either?"

Shi Shaojian was drinking alone when he heard this, so he glanced at him but didn't reply.

Ah Hao assumed he had tacitly agreed and continued in a low voice, "I think Lin Bei is just putting on airs in front of us because of his high cultivation level."

"Brother Shi, you are also a direct descendant of Maoshan, why do you need to be mindful of his feelings?"

Shi Shaojian listened expressionlessly, holding his wine glass, then sneered and slammed the glass heavily onto the table.

Ah-hao stood there, stunned, not yet realizing what was happening.

At this moment, Mama finished washing up and came downstairs.

This guy grabbed a handful of peanuts and stuffed them into his mouth.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Good grief, what do you mean by this? You just came up here with your hands?

Are we even going to eat if you keep doing this?

"Mmm, delicious..."

He chewed while grabbing a second handful with his hands, then stuck his feet out, took off his shoes, and a nauseating sour smell wafted out.

That's not all. He actually started picking at his toes in public, and then used the same hand he used to pick at his toes to grab a chicken leg!

What happened next completely shattered everyone's composure.

After picking her toes, nose, and anus, she mumbled something...

After finishing, he looked quite satisfied and reached into the various plates to grab food.

Ren Shichang's expression changed immediately, and the chopsticks he was holding hung in mid-air, unsure whether to put them down.

This is absolutely disgusting! Is this some kind of authentic Maoshan sect teaching?

Who could stand this?

Ren Zhuzhu frowned with disgust and quietly moved her chair to the side.

Shi Shaojian put down his chopsticks immediately. Looking at Ma Madi's eating habits, his stomach churned and he almost vomited.

Lin Bei picked up his teacup and took a sip with a blank expression, pretending he hadn't seen anything.

There was nothing he could do; even though he had mentally prepared himself, he admitted that he still found the situation somewhat overwhelming.

He could only keep drinking tea to soothe his churning stomach!

Ren Shichang forced a smile and sat for a while longer, but finally couldn't take it anymore. He stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Um... I just remembered I have some things to take care of at the accounts, so please excuse me."

After saying that, he quickly left the inn with Ren Zhuzhu.

Mama didn't seem to care at all: "They're leaving? That's even better, all the food is mine now!"

"Such delicious food, we might as well eat it!"

He reached out and grabbed another piece of braised pork, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing until his mouth was glistening with oil.

Of all the people, only Ah-hao and Ah-qiang could barely endure it.

Perhaps they've experienced so much that they've become somewhat immune to certain things.

"What are you doing? Are you going to eat?" Mama noticed that Lin Bei and the other person hadn't touched their chopsticks.

"Are you worried I have tuberculosis...?"

Lin Bei took a deep breath, but in the end, he couldn't hold back.

"Uncle-Master, we're not hungry, you guys eat first!"

"Senior brother, let's go back to our room."

"Let's go." Shi Shaojian had wanted to leave for a long time, so he stood up, turned around, and left.

After the two returned to their room, Shi Shaojian took out a few pieces of dry food from his storage bag: "Let's eat by ourselves. I really can't bring myself to eat at the same table as that martial uncle."

Lin Bei took the dry rations and took a bite: "So, what did Ah Hao say to you?"

"You noticed all that?"

"What else can we say? It's just sowing discord."

Shi Shaojian sat on the edge of the bed, holding Bai Chen in his arms, and sneered, "You're putting on airs in front of us, telling me to stay away from you."

"You believed it?"

"I don't believe a damn thing!"

Shi Shaojian rolled his eyes. "I saw right through his little scheme."

Lin Bei smiled and didn't say anything more.

Of Mama's two apprentices, A-Qiang is slightly better.

But Ah-hao... loves to play tricks, is unreliable, and extremely irresponsible.

Such a person is not even qualified to join the Maoshan sect.

The next day, everyone gathered in the inn's lobby to discuss how to deal with the zombies.

Ah Hao noticed Shi Shaojian sitting alone in a corner drinking tea, so he went over and asked, "Senior Brother Shi, what have you thought about what I told you last night?"

Shi Shaojian's brow twitched: "Which matter?"

"It's about Lin Bei."

Ah Hao lowered his voice, "He looks down on us because of his high cultivation level. Why don't we join forces and deal with him together..."

Shi Shaojian finally raised his head and looked at Ahao with icy eyes.

"Say one more word, and believe it or not... I'll send you flying out of this window." Shi Shaojian's voice was calm, but it sent chills down Ah Hao's spine.

Ah-hao swallowed hard and slunk away.

Lin Bei came downstairs and happened to see this scene. He sat down next to Shi Shaojian and asked, "Did he talk to you again?"

"I said..."

Shi Shaojian put down his teacup. "This kind of person is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. Stay away from him in the future."

Then, Shi Shaojian voiced his doubts.

"Uncle-Master, what's going on with these zombies? Why are they so difficult to deal with?"

In his opinion, no matter how bad Mamadi was, he was still a powerful late-stage mage.

Surely it can't be another purple zombie... or a hairy zombie...

But if it were a hairy corpse, by now, the grass on the grave would probably be several meters high.

Upon hearing this, Mama felt embarrassed for a moment, then slammed her hand on the table and roared at Ah Hao, "Isn't this the beast's doing all this!"

"He couldn't keep an eye on the corpse, and as a result, not only did the corpse disappear, but it also turned into a zombie!"

Ah-hao shrank back: "Master... I didn't mean to..."

"Not on purpose?"

She stood up angrily, pointed at Ah Hao's nose, and yelled, "That was a job I worked so hard to get!"

"And you, you got lost halfway there and turned me into a zombie!"

"Don't you know how many people that zombie has bitten during this time?"

Ah-hao was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, and Ah-qiang next to him also lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Those two often play with zombies!
