"Please go ahead, Miss Madonna." Chen Hui slowly lowered his slightly raised hand and smiled at Madonna, "Do you have any questions?"
"Since your Pawnshop No. 8 is omnipotent, could you help me get rid of a monster?"
Madonna stared intently into Chen Hui's eyes and said in a deep voice, word by word, "That is the Zombie King—Jiang Chen!"

"Pawnshop No. 8, whatever you ask for, we'll answer."
Chen Hui reiterated the pawnshop's purpose, then shook his head and said, "However, the prerequisite for fulfilling a wish is that the customer can offer a reward of sufficient value."
"Ms. Madonna, can you come up with something worth pawning against the Zombie True Ancestor?"
"Of course." Madonna said without hesitation: "Our Ma family's dragon is enough!"
"..."
Chen Hui was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally shook his head slowly, saying, "Although I admire Miss Madonna's optimism, I have to inform you of this."
"The Shenlong of your Ma clan is vastly different from Jiang Chen. The two are not even on the same level."
"impossible!"
The Divine Dragon had been the Ma family's greatest trump card for millennia, and the supreme being in Madonna's heart. Upon hearing this, she shouted rudely, "My Ma family's Divine Dragon is unparalleled in power. Over the past millennia, I don't know how many evil demons and heretics have been slain. Even Jiang Chen was no match for it, and he was forced to flee in panic every time. How could there be such a huge difference?"
"If the dragon of your Ma clan is really so powerful, why is Jiang Chen still alive today?"
Chen Hui shook his head helplessly and said, "May I ask Miss Madonna, do you have a feeling that every time you fight Jiang Chen, if you just put in a little more effort, you can win?"
"That's right!" Madonna nodded without hesitation. "Several times, I've pushed Jiang Chen into a desperate situation. If it weren't for..."
When Madonna said this, she subconsciously glanced at Ma Dingdang, swallowing back the words that were about to come out. She said in a deep and hateful voice, "If it weren't for Jiang Chen's good luck, he would have died at the hands of our Ma family's dragon."
"Miss Madonna, do you want to hear the truth from me?"
Chen Hui shook his head speechlessly and said, "I bet that the thirty-eight generations of ancestors before you all felt the same way, as if they only needed to make a little more effort to accomplish their goal."
"But in the end, more than two thousand years have passed, and thanks to the uninterrupted efforts of forty generations of descendants, Jiang Chen is still alive and well."
"And you still think he's just lucky."
"This." Madonna was shocked when she heard this, and her mind unconsciously emerged with the experiences of fighting with Jiang Chen several times in the past few decades.
Not only herself, but even the words and deeds of her elders when she was young appeared in her mind very clearly at this moment, as if they were vividly remembered.
Then, she vaguely realized that something was wrong.
After all, Madonna is not a stupid person.
The reason why we were so confident in the past was simply because we were in a confused state.
Once Chen Hui pointed out the key point, all the unreasonable things in the past were immediately revealed.
Madonna suddenly came to her senses, as if suddenly enlightened. Her young face suddenly turned as pale as snow, and her cherry lips trembled as she asked softly, "You mean... Jiang Chen has never actually been serious."
"Has he been playing tricks on us Ma family for the past two thousand years?"
"You can't say I'm just teasing you." Chen Hui shrugged, ignoring Madonna's already shaky and fragile figure. He explained cruelly, "To be more precise, I've lived alone for too long and I'm just feeling a little bored."
"It just so happens that your Ma family is so persistent. Every few decades, they will take the initiative to come to his house to accompany him and relieve his boredom, so I just go along with it."
Seeing the petrified expressions of astonishment on the faces of several people, Chen Hui suddenly smiled mysteriously, shook his head and said, "Miss Madonna, there is no need to feel discouraged. In fact, Jiang Chen has existed for far longer than you think. It is normal that the Ma family dragon cannot deal with him."
"On the contrary, it would be really strange if it were possible."
"Ok?"
Suddenly hearing the extremely cruel truth and realizing that dozens of generations of ancestors, including herself, had actually been working in vain for thousands of years, Madonna felt completely hopeless and almost collapsed.
However, after hearing the next sentence, Madonna vaguely heard something unusual, and her eyes immediately lit up. With a look of anticipation, she asked, "From what you said, it seems that you know the true origin of that general?"
"Yes." Chen Hui nodded and said, "I know."
"That"
The Ma family and Jiang Chen have been entangled for more than two thousand years, and their obsession with this true ancestor of zombies can be said to be deep-rooted.
If there is any chance to settle this feud, Madonna will not be willing to give it up.
Therefore, after hearing this, Madonna seemed to come alive suddenly. She immediately took two steps forward, grabbed Chen Hui's hand and asked urgently, "Sir, I have an unwelcome request!"
"I hope you can tell me the whole story of my origin. I, along with the thirty-eight generations of ancestors of the Ma family, share your great kindness!"
【Haha, I finally waited until you asked this question. 】
Faced with Madonna's impatience, Chen Hui could only laugh secretly.
He deliberately brought the topic to this aspect. After all, with Ma Dingdang's strong character, as long as he knew this ancient secret, he would immediately go to the general to verify it.
By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to attract the attention of this zombie ancestor, and he will come to me impatiently.
You know, even Jiang Chen himself has completely forgotten his origins.
And the past between him and Nuwa should be known to no one else except the two of them.
It's a secret that belongs only to the two of them.
If he were suddenly exposed by another person in public, wouldn't the general be curious and want to know what was going on?
And this is the bargaining chip that attracts Jiang Chen to pawn again.
Therefore, seeing that the time was right, Chen Hui pretended to be thoughtful and hesitated for a moment, then nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, considering that your Ma family has been upholding righteousness and exorcising evil for thousands of years and has done countless good deeds, I will tell you everything."
"I hope these secrets from ancient times can be of help to you."
"Thank you! Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Madonna bowed deeply, then asked everyone to sit down and arranged for Ma Xiaoling to serve tea and water to everyone.
Of course, there are only the Ma family, He Yingqiu and others.
As for Ouyang Jiajia who came with them, after confirming that Chen Hui was not a liar, she stood up and said goodbye and left.
After all, zombies, generals and the like are too far away from an ordinary person, and no one feels the need to involve her.
In fact, just seeing Madonna rejuvenate in front of her, turning from a dying octogenarian into a young and beautiful young girl in just a blink of an eye, was enough to shatter Ouyang Jiajia's three views.
If she heard any more ancient secrets, everyone was really worried about whether she could still maintain her sanity.
Therefore, for an ordinary person, it is happier to know nothing.

Chapter 218: A Mythology from Before the Creation of Heaven and Earth (Please Customize)
Next, after finding a seat and sitting down.
Chen Hui smiled as he took a cup of hot tea from Ma Xiaoling and said in a serious tone, "Before we officially begin, there's one thing I need to clarify."
"What I'm about to tell you spans billions of years, and its implications are truly far-reaching."
"Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope everyone here will refrain from publicizing these matters."
"Especially, don't let those mortals know about this, so as not to cause a large-scale panic."
"Everyone, can you do this?"
Seeing everyone nod in agreement after hearing his words, Chen Hui slowly took a sip of the tea in his cup and said lightly: "It was probably billions of years ago. At that time, the world was still in chaos, and the general had already appeared."
"No one knows where he came from, not even he himself."
"In short, when the world was still barren and before humans were born, the generals existed."
"please wait for a moment."
Madonna couldn't help but interrupt when she heard this: "Your Excellency said that Jiang Chen existed before humans. How did he survive then?"
"Jiang Chen is different from ordinary zombies."
Chen Hui explained calmly, "Blood is just food to him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't absorb it. He can eat any food, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat it at all."
"Miss Ma Dingdang should be quite clear about this."
Ma Dingdang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his mind unconsciously recalled the time when he was with Jiang Chen. He found that he really did often eat various foods in front of him, no different from ordinary humans.
Otherwise, as a member of the Ma family, the exorcist dragon clan, Ma Dingdang would have discovered the other party's identity as a zombie long ago.
Seeing Ma Dingdang nodding at her, Madonna immediately understood and fell silent, not saying a word again.
"After that, an unknown amount of time passed. Jiang Chen spent most of his time sleeping alone, often sleeping for tens of millions of years."
"Until one day, a voice he had never heard before suddenly reached his ears, waking him up from his sleep."
"Out of curiosity, Jiang Chen followed the sound and immediately saw a goddess kneeling on the ground, praying to the heavens to allow her to create life and nourish all things."
"And this goddess is the legendary Nüwa, the mother of the earth who created mankind."
Seeing everyone's shocked and understanding eyes, Chen Hui continued, "The moment he saw Nuwa, Jiang Chen fell in love with this beautiful goddess. From then on, he followed Nuwa and helped her create mankind, making the earth more vibrant and rich."
"During this process, Nuwa also gave Jiang Chen a gift: the name 'Jiang Chen'."
"'Jiang' refers to a general, and 'Chen' refers to a minister."
"What Nuwa meant was that Jiang Chen is her most loyal and reliable general and minister, who has remained by her side for thousands of years without abandoning her."
"And this is the origin of the two words 'Jiang Chen'."
"So that's how it is." Everyone looked at each other and finally understood the meaning of the two words "Jiang Chen". It turned out that they were given by Nuwa, the mother of the earth.
Even the birth of mankind was actually due to the contribution of Jiang Chen. This is really too incredible.
To be fair, if Chen Hui's methods were not too mysterious and had not generated enough trust in everyone, they would never have dared to believe such a thing.
A mere vampire zombie can actually establish a connection with Nuwa, the mother of the earth.
Not only that, according to Chen Hui, Jiang Chen's origin is obviously even older than that of Nuwa, and he was born before the creation of the world.
This kind of thing is really destructive to one's worldview.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and shock.
Chen Hui paused for a moment before continuing, "After the emergence of humans, the earth began to flourish, but with it came endless disputes and conflicts."
"Faced with humanity's bottomless greed and malice, Heaven was finally enraged and sent down a forty-day flood, aiming to completely exterminate the entire human race."
"Seeing her own people in danger of extinction, Nuwa was overcome with grief and begged the heavens to give humanity another chance."
"At the same time, Nuwa extracted five of humanity's bad qualities and shaped them into five-colored messengers, hoping to purify humanity and restore peace to the world."
Having said this, Chen Hui took another sip of the tea in his cup and explained calmly, "These five bad qualities are: Hongchao, representing 'confusion'; Heiyu, representing 'hatred'; Huangzi, representing 'jealousy'; Lan Dali, representing 'lust for power'; and Bai Xinmei, representing 'infatuation'."
"Have you ever heard of their names?"
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this. Ma Xiaoling asked curiously, "Mr. Tan, how come we should have heard of them?"
"These five have lived from ancient times to the present day and have participated in many major historical events, but they have used different identities."
Chen Hui smiled faintly and said, "The others are fine, but the last one, Bai Xinmei, who represents 'insane love', has an identity that you are all sure to know."
"That was Su Daji, the nine-tailed fox demon who bewitched King Zhou and destroyed the Shang Dynasty."
“So it was her…”
Seeing everyone nodding in sudden realization, Chen Hui continued, "Because the great flood cleansed most of humanity, and because Nuwa took away the five bad qualities, the earth briefly returned to its former peace and tranquility."
"Unfortunately, the evil in people's hearts cannot be suppressed. Thousands of years later, the protracted war broke out again, and the five evil tendencies reappeared in the world, as if they had never left."
"Just when Nuwa was feeling extremely distressed about this, she and Jiang Chen discovered a couple."
Having said this, Chen Hui glanced obscurely at the three members of the Ma family present and said in a calm and deep voice, "This couple once swore an oath to love each other forever, until death."
"But in the end, due to the circumstances, they were forced to fight each other and perish together."
"Not only that, the woman in the couple swore a vow before her death, cursing all women in her clan to never shed a single tear for a man in their entire lives, otherwise they would lose all their magical powers and become mortals."
"Speaking of this, I think everyone here should know who this woman is."
"It's the first generation ancestor of the Ma family—Ma Ling'er." The three members of the Ma family looked at each other and said the name at the same time.
