I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

Chapter 64: Peaceful Life

"Y-you!" Pang Tou once again furiously screamed as he charged for the umpteenth time. There was no indecisiveness in his eyes and I could tell he was really out for my blood.

But even with all that, I tried my best to maintain my composure since I didn't want to hurt anyone. No matter how much killing intent this Pang Tou directs towards me, nothing can change my mind.

I mean, although his cultivation was really higher than mine, he was weaker in terms of technique and refining of his Qi Core. If I were to attack him head-on, he probably won't be able to recover. He's simply not worth the effort.

Swish!

As I dodged for who knows how many times by now, a person wearing a red robe stepped in front of me, blocking Pang Tou's attack and sending him flying. He was too fast that I only realized who he was after he stopped in front of me.

"Shelter Leader," I cupped my hands.

"You scoundrel! Is that how you treat our guests?!" Shen Rong roared in pure wrath, not even bothering to return my greeting towards him. "Is this how you handle the newcomers in this shelter? You filthy pig?!"

Pang Tou didn't even realize what hit him! And by the time he came to his senses, he was already bombarded with insults from none other than the Shelter Leader himself. His eyes narrowed and he immediately prostrated himself in front of Shen Rong as his whole body trembled.

'This is the reason why you don't go around offending people. For all you know, they might be stronger than you, or they might have strong connections... or both. You pretty much lucked out this time, Pang Tou' I said to myself while maintaining my position of greeting towards the Shelter Leader.

"Please forgive me, Shelter Leader. I was only trying to teach him a lesson about respecting the old." Pang Tou still had the gall to make excuses.

Seriously, what a rotten person. If I were to compare him to a rabid human, I'd say he's more rotten than them. Sigh~

"If there's someone who needs a lesson about respect here, then it's certainly not Yong Rui here." Shen Rong pointed at me while making a twisted face towards Pang Tou. "I don't know why you're making excuses for but since you still have the energy to make excuses, then I'm assigning you to hunt outside right this instant!"

"B-but, shelter leader... " Pang Tou trailed off as he pressed his forehead even harder towards the ground.

"You still have more energy to make excuses? How about I make you hunt outside for two days? If you don't leave now, then I'll gladly add more days to your punishment." Shen Rong waved his hand off, implying that Pang Tou was already dismissed and there was no need for further discussions.

After that matter was settled, Shen Rong approached me with an apologetic expression on his face. "Young kid, in place of my subordinate's mistake, I offer you an apology."

I cupped my hands in return. "I accept the apology, shelter leader."

Shen Rong sighed in relief. He then walked towards me and patted me on the shoulder just like what he did before. "It's about time we get to have a ta " Upon noticing the presence of Wu Yan beside me, he cleared his throat and turned around.

"I guess I'm in the way of your stroll, ehrmm. Well then, if you will excuse me, Yong Rui. I will be waiting for you by the pavilion. And I hope, as an apology, Wu Yan can also join us for dinner."

"I'm very honored, shelter leader. Grateful to your invitation." I responded as I eyed Wu Yan.

For some reason, her eyes were sparkling as she hastily nodded her head. It seems like I wasn't the only one who was excited to eat dinner with a Shelter Leader. After all, eating with one is like being in the presence of the king.

Wu Yan and I watched shelter leader as he slowly disappeared from view. He never failed to let out the air of nobility inside him and that alone made us not avert our eyes as he walked away.

"That was rather eventful," I commented.

"I can't believe we're having dinner with Shelter Leader!" Wu Yan excitedly said as she leaned her face closer towards mine. I could feel her breath tickling my cheeks but I didn't flinch, or rather, I tried really hard not to. "I mean, I really badly wanted to invite you over to my place for some food but shelter leader invited you first. I guess this one works just as fine. We get to have dinner together after all."

Her light tone and soft giggle almost made my face redden. It's been so long since I've had a sweet and normal interaction with the opposite sex that I didn't know how to react. One thing's for sure, however, Wu Yan is actually pretty cute.

And if I were to compare our age, then we're more or less the same age assuming that the five years I missed as a mindless rabid human was included in the count, of course.

"Well, we still have an hour at most. Is there anywhere you'd want to go before we head to the pavilion?"

"Now that I think about it... yes. But... promise me you won't laugh?" Wu Yan asked's eyelids fluttered as she bashfully looked down. "I've never gone there with anyone since I know they'll probably just laugh at me... but if it's you... "

"If it's really that nice, then let's get to it." I voiced out.

Somehow, this life without the hassle of the rabid humans is something that would take a long time to get used to. But dare I say that I don't hate this at all. If I could abandon everything and live my life peacefully like this strolling around the city with a girl to my side as we enjoy the sights then I'd gladly do so without thinking twice.

But then again, I'm already a rabid human who got his consciousness back, and somehow, a System found herself in my mind. I don't think I'll be living a peaceful life soon.
