The small fried goods shop now bears her happiness and freedom, along with peace of mind.

It’s hard for others to empathize, constantly seeing endless yet delicious food gives Bai Jiahui a great sense of security.

A small plate of fried chicken, swiftly munched by Bai Jiahui, the boss asked a question.

"How do you feel?"

"Delicious!" Bai Jiahui blurted out.

"Ha..." Everyone in the shop couldn’t help but laugh, Shishi, who wasn’t eating fried chicken, also laughed. Though she doesn’t eat fried chicken, every time she sees Bai Jiahui eating, she inexplicably develops a desire to taste it.

She had tried once before, Bai Jiahui made some and let her taste it first.

Unfortunately, the experience wasn’t good; she couldn’t taste the flavor.

The things she can taste are very few, if she wants to taste it like a living person, and enjoy it, she would only need Wen Yan to provide a blessing of Yang Energy.

When she was alive, she didn’t like eating things like tomatoes, but now, she increasingly likes them. Being able to taste is equivalent to a verification that she is still alive, rather than being a walking dead.

Of course, she doesn’t like eating, but she likes watching Bai Jiahui eat. She can feel a sense of life’s vitality from it.

Being with Wen Yan, she naturally has seen big zombie bosses. They told her that zombies aren’t truly immortal; when she completely loses the meaning of existence, or when everything returns to dead silence and her heart begins to wither, death is about to arrive.

This is an obliteration even more thorough than physical death, like a ghost disappearing into ashes.

Therefore, if the heart hasn’t withered yet, feel more of the vitality of life, otherwise, turning into a walking dead is worse than dying.

Wen Yan also supports her going out, meeting people, having something to do.

At least now both she and Bai Jiahui are quite happy.

The boss is also very satisfied; after working hard to set up the shop, there’s a suitable person to take over. Now in his heart, all that’s left is the last thought to quickly do what he needs to do.

Upon discovering many demons and ghosts in the world, he doesn’t think he’s hallucinating and becomes increasingly curious about how it all started, what exactly happened when he was a child.

His family was destroyed overnight, and he doesn’t remember anything.

When in recent days, memories of his grandfather holding him as a young boy and telling him various stories bubble up in his mind, he can’t hold back anymore.

The next morning, the boss left a note in the shop, silently departing with his wife.

They took the high-speed rail, heading north, with their destination being Central Plains County.

Wen Yan woke up the next morning to receive a prompt from the Black Box that the fried goods shop owner had already left.

The destination, somewhat beyond Wen Yan’s expectations.

The fried goods shop boss’s surname is Wang, a common surname nationwide, everywhere has many people with this surname.

Not like some rare surnames, where just knowing the surname can easily trace some generations back, even if unable to find the initial origin.

The Black Box couldn’t trace several generations of Boss Wang’s ancestry, only found that Boss Wang registered his name for the first time decades ago in Guanzhong County, there’s a record available.

That record is handwritten; the original document can’t be found. It’s uncertain if there is an original document.

Many ordinary people are like this; when formal identification cards became available, many names, ages, birthplaces reported were more or less approximate, many discrepancies, impossible to identify each one thoroughly.

In records that the Black Box can find, Boss Wang had never been to Central Plains County, and naturally couldn’t find anything there.

Now seeing this record, Wen Yan still lets the Black Box keep an eye on it.

Earlier, Boss Wang was certainly without issues, but he started transitioning to being a priest. Coupled with the prompt mentioning his heart of obsession, Wen Yan thinks it’s worth more attention.

The Water Monarch says it’s impossible for a single seal breaking to stimulate the emergence of a witch priest.

Considering the timeline, it indicates a seal had already been broken beforehand.

Boss Wang, being a priest, what he is doing is likely related to what is inherited in the bloodline.

These few days Bai Jiahui and Shishi are learning a craft in the shop, helping out.

Shishi says, Boss Wang has sat by the window multiple times, staring at the evil spirit pendant hanging on the street lamp outside, sometimes an odd aura emerges from him.

In that moment, Boss Wang feels suddenly distant, as if he might transform into a gentle breeze and leave.

No one directly confronted it, yet everyone could be sure of one thing.

Boss Wang knows Bai Jiahui and Shishi are obviously not human, while Wen Yan also knows Boss Wang is not an ordinary person.

But everyone remains tacit, treating each other like ordinary people.

Wen Yan didn’t immediately follow up, nor did he forcibly intervene, waiting to see.

According to his past experiences, someone with a deep obsession can’t be persuaded, nor could be stopped.

Forcibly stopping would only lead to bad results.

He lets the Black Box continue gathering information, while he opens a portal to Fuyu Mountain.

As usual, bringing plenty of food, along with this month’s tiger bone.

Upon arrival, Wen Yan sees the Grand Uncle Master slowly performing a set of boxing technique, like an ordinary elderly person exercising in the morning, moving his body.
