Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1917 - 1914: Everything Is in Chaos

Zhang Ruyan seemed to notice Lin Tian’s awkwardness, and a teasing expression appeared on her face: "What, afraid the girl might misunderstand us? Actually, there’s no need for misunderstanding, we haven’t..."

"Hey, stop, don’t bring up the past with me." Lin Tian quickly interrupted her, his face full of embarrassment, "Let’s not mention that matter again, how about this, you go hide in the room for a bit, Lingyu shouldn’t stay long."

"Room?" Zhang Ruyan immediately displayed a meaningful expression, smiling, "Are you planning to keep a beauty hidden away?"

"Lin Tian, are you there? Why don’t you open the door?" Zhang Lingyu’s voice rang out again, urging Lin Tian.

Lin Tian looked at himself with not a single piece of clothing, then at the scantily clad Zhang Ruyan, feeling overwhelmed. To say there’s nothing going on would be hard to believe for anyone.

"Whatever, you go in first." Lin Tian grabbed Zhang Ruyan’s hand and, without giving her a chance to object, pulled her into the room, then shut the door with a bang. Zhang Ruyan didn’t resist the whole process, allowing Lin Tian to act.

Lin Tian turned around to open the door, and sure enough, it was Zhang Lingyu outside. The beautiful Sky Master saw Lin Tian with only a towel around his waist and was suddenly stunned, her pretty face quickly flushing with redness.

"What... what are you doing?" Zhang Lingyu tried to feign composure, but her slightly awkward tone indicated her internal nervousness.

Since Zhang Ruyan had already seen it, Lin Tian didn’t mind another person seeing it. Instead, he counter-questioned, "I should be asking you this. Weren’t you going back to sleep? Why come looking for me?"

After exchanging a few words, Zhang Lingyu slightly adjusted to Lin Tian’s attire, speaking calmly, "What, talking at the door and not letting me in, hiding a beauty inside?" She said this while looking inside.

Unintentional words with an intentional listener, Lin Tian felt troubled too. Although he knew she was guessing randomly, he indeed was hiding a beauty. This must be what they call a guilty conscience. Lin Tian didn’t respond to her words but stepped aside to let her in.

Zhang Lingyu came in and looked around again, finally focusing on the open window.

"It’s a bit stuffy in the south, so I opened a window to get some air. Your house doesn’t have too many mosquitoes, does it?" Lin Tian intentionally changed the topic, but it sounded a bit like the saying ’no three hundred taels of silver buried here.’

Zhang Lingyu seemed unaware, giving him a glance, "You’re afraid of mosquitoes sucking blood? Mosquitoes would detour around you."

That was indeed the truth. Lin Tian really wasn’t afraid of mosquitoes, even before becoming a zombie, never being bitten by mosquitoes growing up. Now thinking about it, it might be related to the Taiyin Xuan Qi.

"It’s late, what’s the matter for you to find me, Lingyu?" Lin Tian raised the previous question again. If it were in the past, he might flirt with the beautiful Sky Master a bit, but currently, with Zhang Ruyan hidden in the room, he didn’t have the mood for teasing.

Zhang Lingyu tried her best not to look at Lin Tian’s upper body, pretending to be calm in her tone, "It’s about your identity, the talisman on your hand won’t hold long within the Zhang Family’s main barrier. It requires regular reinforcement to prevent the barrier from recognizing your true form."

"Nearly forgot about this matter; Zhang Ruyan mentioned it before." Hearing Zhang Lingyu’s words, Lin Tian was also taken aback. If his identity were exposed, he probably wouldn’t make it out of the Zhang Mansion.

"What you did at the square was too shocking, both Sister Ruyan and I forgot about the talisman. Thankfully, we remembered later, or it would have been troublesome." Zhang Lingyu was quite remorseful and a bit scared, knowing that if Lin Tian’s zombie form was exposed, the main barrier would blast him to pieces.

So that’s it, Lin Tian understood Zhang Ruyan’s intentions. The beautiful Sky Master, though appearing calm, Lin Tian could tell her worry was genuine.

"Hold out your hand." Zhang Lingyu wasted no words, instructing Lin Tian to extend his hand.

Lin Tian moved in front of her and extended his hand. This act brought the two quite close. Lin Tian could smell the fragrance on the beautiful Sky Master and got a close view of her lovely face, with a redness that made him tempted to lean in for a kiss.

Zhang Lingyu also sensed Lin Tian’s breath approaching, making her heart flutter, like a deer jumping around inside her. Blood uncontrollably rushed to her face, heating her cheeks up. Without looking, she knew her face must be red at the moment, but to draw a new talisman for Lin Tian, she pretended not to notice.

However, the situation made her extremely uncomfortable. The quiet room suddenly took on a slightly romantic ambiance.

Just as the atmosphere became more mysterious, footsteps sounded from outside, followed by a hearty laugh: "Haha, Lin Tian my boy, the old man has come to see you..."

Lin Tian’s face went dark immediately, cursing internally, "What on earth is this? Everyone’s coming back one after another, treating my guest room as a public place?"

And what’s more, it’s fine for beauties to come, but an old man running to my guest room in the middle of the night, what exactly are you up to? Lin Tian was quite upset.

Zhang Lingyu, however, appeared flustered, especially after seeing Lin Tian’s outfit: "Oh no, dressed like this, if Master sees us alone like this... oh, it can’t be explained clearly..."

With that, she quickly ran into the room, fleeing so fast that only after the beautiful Sky Master shut the door did Lin Tian suddenly realize, was Zhang Ruyan hiding in that room earlier?

Damn, running into each other in the bedroom this time, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I couldn’t wash this off. Lin Tian couldn’t imagine the scene of the two women meeting in the bedroom.

No time to think more, Zhang Heyuan had already walked in briskly with no reservation. The old man took one look at Lin Tian, nodding sincerely: "Hmm, the young ones have quite a physique, comparable to when I was young."

Damn, old man, could your skin be any thicker, saying something like that? Lin Tian didn’t hesitate to throw him a look of disdain and a white eye.

"May I ask, Master Zhang, what brings you here this time?" Lin Tian couldn’t be bothered to be polite, so he asked directly.

"Huh, why did you use the word ’this time’? Has anyone come before? Could it be the apprentice Lingyu?" Despite being gray-haired and not young, the old man’s thinking was meticulous enough to catch onto the flaw in Lin Tian’s words immediately.

Lin Tian’s mind stirred, but he didn’t panic, instead casually replying, "Just seeing you coming back again, I found it curious."

"Oh, nothing much, just coming over. Young ones nowadays, anyway. By the way, I’m here to give you something." Zhang Heyuan wasn’t concerned in the slightest, taking out something and handing it to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian took it and looked; it was a black wooden token, inscribed with strange writings, similar to ancient script, resembling the font on the Nine Needle Technique Golden Scroll, looking rather archaic.

"I’m heading out for some matters early in the morning. Thinking about it, I’m not too comfortable with my senior brother. While he won’t trouble you directly, he might send others to give you a hard time. This token of mine can avoid some troubles." Zhang Heyuan said sincerely.

Unexpectedly, the old man was so considerate, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, then replied seriously too, "Although I’m not afraid of him, still, I appreciate Master’s care."
