I logged into Mr. Zombie

[The Way of Heaven: 5]

Tan Wenjie's attention lingered on the object for a while, then he looked at the beautiful girl who was tied up in front of him, and then at the heartless monk who was stuffing himself with food.

Forcibly binding the "male protagonist" and the "major villain" to one's side, making everything revolve around oneself, is a situation where such advancement fluctuates too much and is too unstable.

His initial goal has been achieved; the next step is to conduct experiments.

"Stand here and don't move."

Tan Wenjie got up and walked out.

Wu Xin, who had food and drink to his heart's content, naturally had no objections. The girl next to him, who was immobilized by a spell, couldn't express her opinions even if she did.

What makes being the protagonist so different?

Unlike luck, which has its limits, the protagonist's success is not simply due to good fortune. In fact, some setbacks they experience can be seen as a reward planted in advance in the long run.

"Ouch!"

A girl in a floral dress bumped her head into Tan Wenjie's chest, and she stopped, clutching her forehead.

"No, I'm sorry, I didn't see the road just now." She looked up at Tan Wenjie with teary eyes.

"It's nothing," Tan Wenjie shook his head and added, "Be more careful when you walk in the future."

After saying that, he continued walking forward.

However, they hadn't gone far when they heard hurried footsteps approaching quickly from behind.

It was the girl who bumped into him because she wasn't looking where she was going.

She held up a money bag: "Um, you dropped something."

"It's not mine."

"Wow? There's so much money inside."

She looked up into Tan Wenjie's eyes, as if in surprise that someone could say they didn't lose the money, yet she saw the same meaning in his eyes as she did.

"Grumpy"

Just then, the girl in the floral dress heard a growl from her stomach.

A few minutes later, there was one more person "competing" with Wuxin, and the two quickly finished off the food on the table.

The young woman ate her food heartily, not forgetting to look up and express her gratitude: "My name is Li Yueya, you are such a kind person!"

"You returned the lost money, so it's only right that I treat you to a meal."

Tan Wenjie sighed inwardly.

After becoming the "protagonist," it seems natural for him to meet the "female protagonist."

It's obvious that after he captured the main villain and took in the protagonist, the female lead automatically came to him.

Li Yueya glanced at the girl who looked like she was about to bare her teeth at any moment, and asked fearfully, "Why are you tied her up?"

“Oh, she’s not human.” Tan Wenjie’s reply was very calm.

Li Yueya: "..."

I never expected that this good-looking, generous, and wealthy person would speak so rudely.

Tan Wenjie looked at the girl who had been standing to the side for a long time and asked, "What's your name?"

Girl: "..."

"Pretty tough, huh?" Tan Wenjie pulled out a golden bow from behind his back and drew it to its full extent.

A blinding silver light condensed on the golden bow, filling the entire room with this light.

Li Yueya, engrossed in her feast, had her mouth slightly open, having already forgotten about eating.

“He…he…he…” Li Yueya turned to look at Wuxin, only to find that the other party didn’t care at all, and even took an extra chicken leg while she was in surprise.

The girl's large black eyes were filled with terror, yet she remained silent.

The monk Wuxin offered a suggestion: "Could it be that you haven't broken the spell?"

All the divine lights and strange phenomena vanished instantly.

Tan Wenjie put away his slingshot and nodded: "Possibly."

He pointed casually.

"untie."

The moment the girl regained her freedom, she turned and ran away.

"Certainly."

The action of turning to run away was frozen in place.

"untie."

The immobilization spell was lifted again, and this time the girl no longer tried to escape. She stood obediently in place, waiting for Tan Wenjie to ask her questions.

"What should I call you?" Tan Wenjie asked again.

The girl immediately replied, "Yue Qiluo."

"I'm referring to the real name. You used magic to take over the body of an innocent girl. Trying to substitute one thing for another won't work on me." He said, and a book of life and death appeared in his hand, which he flipped through with a rustling sound.

Yue Qiluo felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but exclaim, "There are actually immortals in this world?"

Without looking up, Tan Wenjie said, "Now you've seen it."

Yue Qiluo: "..."

"We found out. The cultivator from Qingyun Temple has already reached the end of his lifespan. It seems he used evil magic to possess the body in an attempt to achieve immortality." Tan Wenjie casually closed the Book of Life and Death and said, "Someone will take you to the underworld to report later. Remember to cooperate."

"I am a reincarnation, not an invasion. I am Yue Qiluo!" She was somewhat agitated.

If she initially thought Tan Wenjie was bluffing when he first produced the "Book of Life and Death," she believed him when he revealed his identity from countless years ago. She was absolutely certain of it.

"Alright, I'll ask you a question that anyone knows the answer to. If you can answer it, I can tentatively trust you."

"You ask!"

"What tastes sweet and bounces when you put it in your mouth?"

"what?"

"A toad dipped in white sugar."

"..."

Li Yueya, who was standing next to her, coughed as if she had been choked.

Even someone as smart as her could figure out that Tan Wenjie was playing a trick on her, but Wuxin next to her was scratching her head.

"So that's what happened."

"You believe it?"

"I really don't know," Wuxin said blankly. "I'm not human either."

Li Yueya: "..."

Yue Qiluo, who also realized that she had been tricked, wanted to get angry, but after hesitating for a long time, she said, "Please spare my life, Immortal. I am willing to make amends."

"Sure," Tan Wenjie agreed readily.

It wasn't that he looked down on Yue Qiluo; with her cultivation level, she really wasn't qualified to cause any trouble in Tanjia Town.

He casually waved his hand, signaling Yue Qiluo to go outside and wait.

"You're letting me go like that?" Yue Qiluo was a little taken aback.

She walked towards the outside of the Tan residence without being stopped and easily reached the main street.

Having just faced death, and with freedom within her grasp, Yue Qiluo suddenly didn't want to leave.

"With his supernatural powers and abilities, unless I hide in the cellar and never show my face, I will definitely not escape his pursuit."

Having been sealed in the well for so long, she longed for freedom and immortality.

If I can gain his trust and then cross my name off the Book of Life and Death, perhaps I can live forever.

Thinking of this, Yue Qiluo turned and walked back.

She decided not to leave. Three unfamiliar guests joined the Tan residence.

The monk Wuxin was no ordinary person; everyone knows that.

Li Yueya was just an ordinary village girl, far inferior in looks to the ladies and young misses. Even if Master Tan wanted to change his tastes, she wouldn't be his choice.

Only Yue Qiluo, with her sweet and lovely appearance, and who usually stays by Tan Wenjie's side, makes people wonder if she will become the youngest wife.

At night, following the information she had gathered during the day, Yue Qiluo headed straight for Caiyi's courtyard.

She had heard the servants' speculations, but she didn't care about them. What she disliked most was that Tan Wenjie, who already possessed such great abilities, was still indulging in women.

Because Yue Qiluo was standing on a paper figure, floating in the air without making a sound, she easily arrived at the door of Caiyi's room.

With a wave of his hand, a paper figure flew through the crack in the door and opened it from the inside.

Yue Qiluo stood in front of Caiyi's bed, quietly gazing at that delicate face. A flash of ferocity crossed her eyes as she reached out with her right hand, forming a claw, to grab Caiyi's neck.

"Om-!"

The flying sword hanging above the bed trembled slightly before being drawn from its sheath, precisely blocking Yue Qiluo's sneak attack.

"A flying sword?" Yue Qiluo exclaimed in surprise.

The sword came at her with overwhelming force, forcing her to retreat repeatedly.

By the time she reached the door, Yue Qiluo had multiple sword wounds, and blood was seeping from them.

Then look at the figure lying on the bed.

"How can it be!"

The bed was empty; Caiyi was nowhere to be seen. At the same time, a chilling sensation, which made Yue Qiluo's heart tremble, swept over her from behind.

As an undying evil cultivator, she sensed very clearly that the thing behind her was not human, but possessed a mad demonic aura.

She scrambled to the ground, and Yue Qiluo took the opportunity to adjust her posture and turn to look at the doorway.

Her colorful clothes and the fire pattern between her brows were flashing, her long hair was flying, and she was surrounded by demonic energy, like a witch from the demon realm.

Having been sealed away for too long and knowing little about the outside world, Yue Qiluo had no idea what was happening in the world, let alone what Tanjia Town meant, and even less could she know that Caiyi was the daughter of the Demon Lord.

Yue Qiluo gritted her teeth, controlled a large number of paper figures to wrap her body, and smashed open the window to escape.

The woman in colorful clothes, who had previously been filled with demonic energy, suddenly looked around the room and complained, "Why didn't you kill it?"

"It still has some use." Tan Wenjie's figure appeared. "Don't worry, she's not very skilled, she can't hurt anyone."

Judging from Yue Qiluo's reaction, she seems to be developing towards becoming a "male supporting character".

As expected, those who get involved will gradually replace certain important roles.

Doesn't that mean that as long as things are arranged properly, "customizing one's identity" and seeking better gains in certain worlds also becomes an option?

Meanwhile, Yue Qiluo, who had escaped from Caiyi's room, was filled with fear, but the Tan residence remained quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Should we run away now, or go and kill the others?
Looking down at the wounds on her body, Yue Qiluo already had the answer in her heart.

She went straight to Bai Rourou's courtyard.

Soon.

"boom!"

With her body trembling violently and her soul nearly leaving her body, Yue Qiluo was certain that she really couldn't take it anymore.

But for some reason, she always felt that she was special and still didn't plan to run away.

"Thief?" came Ao Ning Shuang's voice.

Yue Qiluo: "..."

"Don't run!"

The next day, Yue Qiluo, covered in injuries, appeared in the courtyard of the Tan residence.

It seemed that no one noticed anything unusual about her body.

"Master~"

I heard greetings from afar.

Tan Wenjie walked over, accompanied by a maid.

The head maid came to Yue Qiluo's side, handed her a cloth bundle, and said, "Miss, this is a gift from the master."

"For me?" Yue Qiluo looked at the package curiously. "What is it?"

"clothing."

"I don't need clothes."

She stared at Tan Wenjie, wanting to make demands, but after thinking for a while, she obediently nodded and went into the room with her clothes.

A moment later, Yue Qiluo came out wearing a red dress. Her appearance, which was about thirteen or fourteen years old, was enhanced by the red dress, which added a bit of color to her pale face.

"Not bad." Tan Wenjie nodded in satisfaction.

This version of Yue Qiluo looks just right.

After glancing at his current Heavenly Dao level, Tan Wenjie casually gave Yue Qiluo a couple of instructions before turning and leaving.

A high Heavenly Dao level means being able to act in accordance with Heaven's will. Coincidentally, his research on the Five Elements Chariot has reached a bottleneck, and now may be an opportunity.

“He didn’t even scold me for what I did last night.”

Yue Qiluo herself couldn't explain what was going on. It was as if she had been beaten so many times that she was actually quite happy this time when she wasn't.

After cursing herself inwardly, Yue Qiluo decided to start by killing the pretty girls in the Tan family who she could kill.

Cultivating immortality is the right path. How could Tan Wenjie be seduced by mere beauty? This is disrespectful to all his struggles and sacrifices over the years.

She moved freely in the Tan residence, and after many twists and turns, she arrived at a chicken coop.

There's a pretty girl feeding the chickens here.

"Even the woman feeding the chickens is so beautiful." A fierce glint flashed in Yue Qiluo's eyes.

“Oooooohh ...

The chickens raised their heads and crowed, then flapped their wings and leaped out of the enclosure, rushing towards Yue Qiluo.

To Yue Qiluo's astonishment, some of the chickens had strands of electric light wrapped around their feathers and beaks. When they pecked at her, it was as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body was immediately riddled with bloody holes, while the electric light continued to drill into the flesh through the holes.

"Go away, go away!" The girl feeding the chickens was startled by the commotion and ran over with a broom to help chase them away.

Once the chickens were dispersed, the girl who was feeding them breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

Covered in blood, Yue Qiluo stood up and shook her head: "I'm fine."

The Tan family truly harbors hidden talents.

Dragging her injured body away from the Tan residence, Yue Qiluo even considered whether she should find a place to hide, or at worst just stay underground and drift through life. But she quickly realized that compared to her fake immortality, Tan Wenjie's lifespan should be longer than hers.

"Are you the girl the master brought back?" A beautiful woman in a Western-style dress asked curiously on the street.

"I am Yue Qiluo, and you are?"

“This is Madam Tingting of our Tan family.” A maidservant stepped forward and stared at Yue Qiluo with the unfriendly look one would give a vixen.

"The lady of the Tan family?" Yue Qiluo was startled.

She recalled the other three ladies who had beaten her up and even seriously injured her, so the one in front of her must be quite capable as well.

"You've also studied magic?" she asked.

Tingting shook her head: "No, I don't know any magic."

good chance!
Yue Qiluo was secretly delighted; at least there had been some progress.

Suddenly, a terrifying beam of light struck, nearly burning Yue Qiluo to ashes.

Madam Tingting took out a sachet and said, "But Wenjie gave me this. He said that no matter what kind of demons, monsters, or beauties in disguise they are, they can't get close to me."

With a sweet smile, she complained, "I just can't shake this weird habit of inexplicably singing when this line comes up."

Yue Qiluo: "..."

She hadn't decided whether to eat the dog food yet, but she was certain the talisman in the sachet was terrifying and would definitely make her suffer greatly. (End of Chapter)
