Nomad translation – Future
While carrying out a mission, Fu Qi accidentally entered a sealed burial chamber. Half-conscious and half-asleep, he caught a little thief trying to steal his clothes.
The thief was a girl. She claimed to be the owner of the tomb—and an immortal jiangshi.
The jiangshi said, “I used to be called Princess Liuli, Meng Lishang, Bing Wuying, and Lingfei Xiye. I’m a jiangshi with a long and complicated past… But now, you can call me Baby!”
Fu Qi felt that she was probably an ancient, melodramatic, non-mainstream jiangshi going through a severe case of chuunibyou.
…
Qin Zhen was a jiangshi who had lived alone inside the tomb for an unknown number of years.
When Old Fu Seven took her outside, she was extremely excited—but also deeply worried.
“You’re bringing a jiangshi into human society. Aren’t you afraid I’ll cause chaos?”
Old Fu Seven: “No.”
“What if a Daoist priest tries to capture me? You’ll have to help prove that I’ve never eaten anyone.”
Old Fu Seven: “You’re overthinking it.”
“How am I overthinking it? Haven’t you watched movies? Jiangshi and Daoist priests are mortal enemies!”
Old Fu Seven still gave the same answer.
“I already told you, that won’t happen.”
The entrance to the tomb was blown open, and sunlight poured in for the first time in years.
With nervous anticipation, Qin Zhen opened her eyes—
Only to see collapsed buildings, ruined walls, and wreckage everywhere. In the middle of the ruins, several “people” with faces as pale as hers were covered in filthy blood, snarling as they lunged towards them.
“There. Jiangshi more or less like you are everywhere.”
Beside her, Fu Qi drew a long blade and calmly split open a zombie’s skull with a single strike.
“Baby, welcome to the zombie apocalypse.”
Qin Zhen: “…”
This was ridiculous!
