Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

Shen Nian sighed, "Fine, since you're unwilling, I can't force you. Just let him be struck dead by lightning, then he'll be spared from continuing to wreak havoc on the world."

As he spoke, Shen Nian flicked his sleeve, pulled out ten Heavenly Thunder Talismans, and ignited them.

The next moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and a powerful and terrifying purple lightning bolt was rushing towards the direction where they were.

Upon closer inspection, Gu Yuncheng discovered that it was not a single bolt of lightning, but rather dozens of bolts of lightning combined into one.

Gu Yuncheng: ...

Is there really a risk that this pretty-boy zombie will survive?

The flying zombie suddenly looked up at Shen Nian: "Are you serious?!"

Shen Nian casually adjusted the lightning-attracting talisman in her hand: "Otherwise what?"

Does she seem like the type of person who likes to joke around?

As dozens of lightning bolts were about to strike, the flying zombie closed its eyes, as if it were going to risk everything, and shouted, "I'll be your dog!!! Don't kill me!"

The next moment, the dark clouds dispersed, and a massive lightning tribulation vanished without a trace.

Heaven's Way: ...

Are you kidding me?

Shen Nian patted Fei Jiang's face with a smile: "Good dog. Release him first."

"Then we will establish a master-servant contract."

If she didn't establish a master-servant contract, she wouldn't dare put such a powerful monster in front of her.

Putting aside everything else, there are still quite a few ordinary people working as servants in Tiannan Mountain.

Fei Jiang sharpened its fangs, but finally succumbed to Shen Nian's power (Heavenly Thunder Talisman), and waved its hand to release the Xuanmen Guild members trapped in the formation.

The field team members were stunned when they were released, almost exactly like Gu Yuncheng. They first looked at each other warily, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the other was really their comrade.

Lin Xiyue said, "Master Shen, what brings you here? Did you save us?"

His gaze swept past Gu Yuncheng, whom he recognized, and landed on the delicate, fair face of the flying zombie. He asked, "And who is this? Is he also a disciple of the master?"

Shen Nian shook her head: "No."

"This is a puppy I just adopted."

Lin Xiyue: "...Huh?"

Upon hearing this, the flying zombie became enraged, and the fangs it had just retracted began to grow back uncontrollably.

Seeing his face suddenly turn incredibly sinister, Lin Xiyue shouted, "Master Shen, be careful! It's a zombie! It might be the flying zombie we're looking for!"

Shen Nian waved his hand dismissively, then patted the flying zombie's face: "Oh, I forgot to mention, this is that flying zombie, but I just tamed it, and now it's my servant."

Lin Xiyue: ...

Other members of the field team: ...

What was Master Shen saying just now?

Did she subdue a flying zombie that the Xuanmen sect almost used heavy nuclear weapons to attack as a servant?

So why have they been on high alert for so long?

"This, this."

Lin Xiyue wiped the sweat from her brow: "Well, I've never encountered a situation like this before. How about we go back to the Xuanmen Guild first?"

"No matter what, this is an extremely dangerous creature. Let's go back to the Xuanmen Guild and discuss it first."

"Alright."

Shen Nian nodded, and followed Lin Xiyue into the car with Gu Yuncheng and a flying zombie.

On the way, Shen Nian asked Fei Jiang questions intermittently.

"Where did you get those clothes?"

Flying Zombie: "...Stolen."

"Don't do such petty theft in the future, it's shameful."

Fei Jiang felt that every time Shen Nian opened her mouth to speak, her teeth would itch.

...I really want to bite this woman to death.

However, before the flying zombie could move, a hard object was stuffed into its mouth.

It just so happened to get stuck on his fangs.

Gu Yuncheng glanced at it and realized it was an apple.

At this moment, Fei Jiang's mouth was agape, with a whole apple stuck in it, making him look...

It actually has a comedic effect.

Upon arriving at the Xuanmen Guild, the moment the flying zombie stepped through the guild's gates, all the guild's spiritual energy detectors began to go off like crazy.

The entire Xuanmen Guild instantly went into a state of high alert.

After all, the last great demon that could make all the spiritual energy detectors in the entire guild explode had been imprisoned in the Mountain and Sea Prison for decades.

The entire force, fully armed and on high alert, awaited their arrival, and then...

They encountered a flying zombie that had almost choked on an apple.

Oh, saying they've stopped breathing isn't quite accurate, since zombies are inherently lifeless.

But its appearance was so funny that the guild members looked at each other for a while, not knowing how to deal with the flying zombie.

Only after learning that it had been taken in by Shen Nian did it breathe a sigh of relief.

Next comes the process of inputting spiritual energy and registering it.

However, since a zombie is a corpse after all, unlike a ghost, it can be seen and touched by ordinary people when it walks around the world. If it wants to leave Jinghai, using public transportation would be a big problem.

The special ID card made for him by the Xuanmen Guild will not be issued for some time. Until then, this flying zombie cannot step out of Jinghai.

If he has even the slightest intention to harm ordinary people, the Xuanmen Guild will immediately imprison him in the Mountain and Sea Prison.

After that, he had to report and obtain approval for every trip he took. He also used a private car and driver to avoid startling or accidentally injuring ordinary people.

In addition, this flying zombie also needs to complete socialization training at the Xuanmen Guild.

Although he possessed intelligence and could speak, the era he lived in was quite distant from the present day.

Therefore, there will be specialists to teach him how to integrate into modern society and how to use modern technological products, such as smartphones.

Before leaving, Shen Nian patted his face again: "Study hard, I'll come pick you up when you're done studying."

Flying Zombie: ...

That despicable woman!!!

However, in any case, the matter of the flying zombies has finally come to a relatively satisfactory conclusion.

Although, the owner of the Tang Palace Night Banquet and his two sons died.

All the staff who went out on duty that day were punished. As for the funeral arrangements for those people and the subsequent takeover of the hotel, the logistics department was responsible for handling them.

This is also a common practice of the Xuanmen Guild.

After the field occultists finished their fierce battles (and caused all the trouble), the office staff diligently and conscientiously cleaned up their messes.

This includes, but is not limited to: imposing curses on those who have experienced the incident, deleting video recordings, controlling public opinion, issuing apologies and paying compensation, and so on.

On the way back, Gu Yuncheng said with some curiosity, "I always feel that Master's attitude towards that flying zombie... is a little different from that of the others."

Well, how should I put it?

Whether it was to him or to the people of the Xuanmen Guild, Shen Nian always appeared powerful and aloof.

But Shen Nian's attitude towards the flying zombie seemed... seemed...

Gu Yuncheng found it hard to describe, but he felt that Shen Nian would become less unattainable.

Shen Nian: "Well, how should I put it? After all, we're practically the same kind of people, and there's always a bit more kinship between people of the same kind."

Gu Yuncheng: ...

That flying zombie isn't human, so are you not human either?

Seemingly sensing what Gu Yuncheng was thinking, Shen Nian raised an eyebrow: "Of course I'm not human, didn't I tell you?"

Gu Yuncheng: "...Huh?"

Was his master not human after all?
