The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

As Ying Ni uttered the name, the talismans on the coffin suddenly shifted before her, and a figure slowly materialized above it. Tall and solitary, it seemed the embodiment of this ruin, imbued with an indescribable sadness and poignant beauty. He turned, revealing a pale yet handsome face. It was none other than Jiang Chen, the legendary ancestor of the zombies. His eyes, piercing with a coldness and sorrow that transcended life and death, seemed to gaze upon endless emptiness and eternal loneliness.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to freeze in that moment. A gentle breeze blew through the ruins, stirring up dust and fallen leaves, but it couldn't dispel the heavy atmosphere between them. Ying Ni's heart was filled with mixed emotions: surprise, sadness, a playful quip for Jiang Chen, and a hint of inexpressible longing and anticipation.

Jiang Chen remembered Ying Ni, her piercing gaze and supreme power. In his mind, she was a being who shouldn't exist, a presence that made him uneasy. Her presence always stirred an inexplicable wave of emotion in his heart, as if it were destiny, or a fateful entanglement.

Their entanglement begins with the story of Jiang Chen. In the chaotic ages of ancient times, Pangu swung his great axe and created the world. His skull transformed into a ferocious monster—Hou. Legend has it that Hou, possessing an indestructible body, wreaked havoc on the human world, bringing endless disasters. Fuxi and Nuwa, the two creator gods, joined forces to defeat Hou, splitting his soul into three and sealing it between heaven and earth. However, Hou's body survived, fusing with the branches of a sacred tree to give birth to a new being—Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen, possessing only a fleshy body but no soul, inherited Hou's vampiric nature, and so did his descendants. Like ghosts in the night, they roamed the land, seeking prey and sucking the blood of innocents, filling the world with fear and anxiety.

During the years before the Great Calamity, Ying Ni used her supreme magical power to draw boundaries to protect her territory and the lives within it. However, the descendants of Jiang Chen ignored Ying Ni's boundaries and wantonly devoured the souls of tens of thousands of people on her territory. Furious, Ying Ni embarked on a journey. Her bloody battle with Jiang Chen raged for ten days and nights, changing the color of the heavens and earth, and stirring the winds and clouds. She vowed to seek justice for the souls of those whose souls had been devoured and restore peace and tranquility to this land.

On the battlefield, thunder and lightning clashed, and the wind howled. Ying Ni's magical power clashed with Jiang Chen's formidable physique, and every clash caused the earth to tremble and mountains to crumble. Jiang Chen's sharp claws slashed through the void, while Ying Ni, holding the Book of Fate, wielded the blade of destiny like a meteor, slicing through the darkness. The clash of these two forces sent all nearby creatures fleeing, fearing they would be caught up in this battle between gods and demons. Their battle was a struggle between heaven and earth, a duel between light and darkness, a struggle between order and chaos.

As the bloody battle dragged on, beads of sweat gradually formed on Ying Ni's forehead, and Jiang Chen's body was covered with scars. But their resolve was as firm as steel, and neither would yield an inch. In this epic battle, every moment was filled with tension and intensity, as if the entire world awaited its final outcome. Whether gods or demons, they must pay the price for their convictions, and this battle was the test of their convictions.

Finally, at dawn on the tenth day, Ying Ni gathered all her strength and delivered a fatal blow. Though Jiang Chen was formidable, he was forced to retreat under Ying Ni's full force. The dust settled, and though Ying Ni was victorious, a trace of fatigue and sorrow lingered in her eyes. Though defeated, Jiang Chen was mortal, and therefore had simply fallen into a deep sleep. Ying Ni knew this battle wasn't over; Jiang Chen would eventually awaken, and she must remain prepared to protect this land and its inhabitants forever.

After that horrific war, Ying Xuan finally returned to her territory. Standing in the heart of the Jiuzhou Pawnshop, she gazed upon the barrier she had personally forged, a strange sense of peace welling up within her. The barrier emanated a faint blue light, like a thin curtain of water, isolating the outside world's noise and danger. She gazed upon the talismans and magical instruments scattered across the ground—they were her recently developed spells and weapons to counter zombies. She believed that this time, she would allow no evil to invade this pure land.

Ying Ni stood on the city wall, her heart filled with love and a sense of responsibility for this land. She knew that every effort she made was to protect the lives of the people living in this territory from outside intrusion. The barrier was more than just a barrier; it was her commitment and protection of this land. She closed her eyes, feeling the flow of magic within the barrier. It was a power that coexisted harmoniously with nature, the crystallization of her wisdom.

As for Jiang Chen, since that great battle, his news and traces have become rare, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth. Ying Li had never imagined that this former rival could actually be sealed. She was filled with a strong curiosity, wanting to see with her own eyes the mysterious figure who could seal Jiang Chen.

Ying Ni's thoughts drifted to the past, recalling the fierce duel with Jiang Chen. Though they had once been rivals, she also held Jiang Chen in high esteem for his ability and wisdom. She wondered what power could have sealed away such a formidable opponent, sparking a deep curiosity about the mysterious figure.

Just as she was lost in thought, a hoarse, deep voice broke the silence: "Since you're an old friend, please help me unlock my seal." Ying Ni looked up and saw Jiang Chen floating in front of her, a barely perceptible smile on his face. She instinctively put away her smile and asked, "Why?"

Ying Ni's tone was firm and calm; she wouldn't be easily swayed by Jiang Chen's presence. She knew there might be a deeper purpose behind Jiang Chen's request, and she had to approach it with caution. A hint of caution flashed in her eyes as she waited for Jiang Chen's explanation.

Jiang Chen's voice was still hoarse, but it carried an undeniable firmness. "The miasma outside is caused by me, but I can't retract it within my seal." He paused, looking at Ying Ni with a deep gaze. "During the time I've been awake, the miasma has increased, and some of it has spread outside."

Jiang Chen's words plunged Ying Ni into deep thought. She understood that if the miasma continued to spread, it would not only threaten the lives of those outside but also potentially impact her own territory. She needed to weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to help Jiang Chen lift the seal. She knew this decision could have unforeseen consequences.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ying Ni fell into deep thought. She knew she couldn't make this decision on her own, but she could try to contact the relevant people. She spoke slowly, "Modern society is very different from our time. I can't make the decision alone, but I can help you make the contact."
