“I already heard people in the village say that once you come to this town, you can never go back. It is said that terrible zombies live here.”
“I was indeed a little afraid before, but after coming in, the zombies did not harm me at all. They are much friendlier than the people in the town.”
The Zombie King curled his lips. What could he even say? When he was still human, he had indeed attracted all kinds of women, but he never expected that even inside a game, he would attract a bride who was supposed to fear and avoid him.
Their appearance meant there must be a player going through the game. He grew a bit curious. When the player failed to take the bride away and the bride even willingly married him, what kind of reaction would the player have?
For some reason, the Zombie King felt a bit of anticipation.
Remembering that the woman clinging to him was only a game character, he felt less awkward. He watched with interest as she happily gnawed on the drumstick and then instructed his steward to bring more delicious food.
“Husband, you are such a good person.”
Tang Guo praised him without hesitation. “People in the village were all guessing how many days I could survive here. Even though you are a zombie, I do not think you are scary. A handsome and gentle man like you cannot be found anywhere else in the village.”
The Zombie King broke into a smile from the praise. What a cute bride. He raised his hand and gently patted her head. “Was life in the village not good?”
“How could it be good? My family is poor. I have two younger sisters and three younger brothers. This time, when they heard you were taking a bride, they sent me here to exchange for some silver.”
Even though he knew this was just part of the game’s setting, the Zombie King still felt a trace of pity for her background. “Then stay here with this king in peace. You will not have to live that kind of poor and difficult life again.”
“As long as you do not change your mind and throw me out of Zombie Town, I am willing to stay by your side forever.”
The Zombie King took a deep breath. It was too realistic. If he had to face such a bride every day, he might really lose control and want to grow old with her.
Unfortunately, she was only a game character.
After Tang Guo finished eating, she said to the Zombie King, “Husband, I want to take a bath. Then we can rest.”
She clearly felt his body stiffen for a moment, and she was secretly delighted. Even though his personality was different now, his level of shyness had not improved at all. Just a little teasing, and he would blush. Truly adorable.
“This king will have the steward prepare it for you.” He was the final boss of this game. As long as he was in Zombie Town, he could have whatever he wanted.
Very soon, the steward, who was the zombie leader that had been staring at Tang Guo earlier, prepared the bathwater for her.
The plot had not started yet. Everything happening now was part of the hidden setup. She guessed that Xia Yi was still outside Zombie Town. To get inside, she would have to pass several trials. So everything happening here could not be seen by anyone.
She got up and went behind the screen to take a comfortable bath.
“This is quite realistic.” Even the bathwater felt real. Was this really not a small independent world?
Perhaps to the game characters, this place was real. Only to the people outside in the real world was it virtual, something they had created.
After finishing her bath, she came out from behind the screen. Seeing the Zombie King sitting upright, she hooked her arm around his and said, “Husband, are you not going to wash? Do you want me to help you?”
