Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2005: Chapter 2002: Cross-Dressing

"Lin Tian, you look really pretty dressed as a woman. Although your skin isn’t that fair, it has an exotic beauty. If you wear a dress, you’d be perfect, hehe." Xiao Manxuan’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Lin Tian intently.

Zhang Lingyu also sneaked a smile but kept a straight face: "We’ve dealt with the Netherworld too often. To avoid being recognized, we have to disguise ourselves temporarily, so you’ll just have to endure it."

"The disguise doesn’t have to make me a woman, right? You are originally women, so it’s fine, but I’m a man." Lin Tian immediately protested. A man of dignity turning into a woman is just unreasonable, very awkward.

"Our glorious looks make disguising as men difficult, but you’re different. You’re handsome, so a slight touch-up can turn you into a great beauty. One is hard; one is easy. You decide how to choose?" Zhang Lingyu grinned playfully, and Lin Tian felt it was like the smile of a Little Fox.

"I guess I should thank you for calling me handsome." Lin Tian was quite helpless.

Zhang Lingyu waved her hand grandly: "No need to thank me. Actually, there’s another reason we’re all disguising as women. We’re pretending to be Ghost Messengers from Huangquan Inn."

"What’s Huangquan Inn? And what’s its connection with female Ghost Messengers?" Xiao Manxuan was puzzled, and Lin Tian also found it strange.

Zhang Lingyu glanced at the nearby Ghost Gate, paused for a moment, and said: "Huangquan Inn is quite a unique existence. It’s not in Fengdu City but at the end of Huangquan Road, before Naihe Bridge. The owner is Meng Po, and all the Ghost Messengers in Huangquan Inn are female."

"You might think Meng Po only brews Mengpo Soup and has no status, but on the contrary, Meng Po holds a high position in the Netherworld. There’s even a legend that her seniority is older than King Yanluo’s."

"By disguising as female Ghost Messengers of Huangquan Inn, the guards at Ghost Gate won’t dare to interfere with us. That’s how we can pass smoothly. Understand?" Zhang Lingyu said the last sentence to Lin Tian because he opposed turning into a woman.

Lin Tian was unwilling: "Alright, I’ll trust you this once."

Upon hearing Lin Tian agree, Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, but before she could rejoice, Lin Tian added: "Wait, I need to confirm something important."

Then, he turned around, checked below himself, and felt relieved: "Luckily, luckily, nothing’s changed."

He turned back and found the two women’s eyes wide open; a few seconds later, their pretty faces blushed.

"Pervert!"

"Creep!"

The two women were embarrassed and annoyed, cursing Lin Tian angrily.

Lin Tian was immune to such names, turned gracefully, and walked toward Ghost Gate.

"Wait..." Zhang Lingyu suddenly called to him, caught up, and said displeasedly: "You’re walking too manly. Now you’re a woman, so the steps should be smaller, and don’t move so stiffly."

"Okay, got it." Lin Tian gestured, taking a few steps forward.

Though the steps were smaller, he still strode like a dragon, causing the two women to have a black line on their faces, saying helplessly: "Long legs mean he can be unrestrained..."

"Forget it, just pretend he’s a Female Warrior like Mu Yun." Zhang Lingyu sighed, giving up on correcting Lin Tian.

There were only two Ghost Messenger Tokens, but Zhang Lingyu used the Taoist technique to create another, and the three of them bypassed the line of souls and walked straight into the doorway.

The guards stopped the three, one dressed in black armor with a fierce look, seemingly the leader of the Ghost Messengers, stretched out his hand: "Travel Token."

Probably, the three were too beautiful, making the surrounding guards frequently glance over, their sparkling eyes making Lin Tian very uncomfortable. It wasn’t because he feared them but because he was being regarded as a woman; it was unbearably awkward.

Lin Tian expressionlessly handed over the Token coldly. The guard leader dared not make it difficult and didn’t even accept it. He just glanced at it and waved them through.

When walking out of the doorway, a guard whistled, and one guard chuckled softly: "People from Huangquan Inn are so pretty."

"Did you see the one at the front? Such a healthy complexion, seems so wild, I like it," another guard said.

The one at the front? Isn’t it me? Hearing the guard’s words, Lin Tian almost slipped and tripped.

Xiao Manxuan held back laughter desperately, almost hurting internally.

"Haha, Lin Tian, that guard took a liking to you. How does it feel to be admired by a man?" Once away from Ghost Gate, Xiao Manxuan couldn’t hold back, laughing out loud.

"Made my hair stand on end, darn it, I’m not doing this anymore." Lin Tian was very frustrated, asking to remove the Disguise Technique.

"Hey, don’t. Huangquan Road is so long, what if we’re recognized? Wait until we’re in Fengdu City to undo it." Zhang Lingyu quickly stopped him.

Just then, a black and white duo of agents escorted a vicious ghost by, saw the three, and greeted them. They assumed the three were from Huangquan Inn.

"See, there are not only wandering souls on Huangquan Road but also often agents escorting vicious ghosts. Be careful not to get exposed." Zhang Lingyu acted like it was very serious.

Lin Tian scratched his long hair helplessly as he moved forward.

On Huangquan Road, the Other Shore Flowers were in full bloom, a sea of blood-red manjusha flowers. It should be a magnificent scene, but paired with the grim sky of the Netherworld, it was desolate.

"The flowers bloom for a thousand years, the leaves fall for a thousand years, flowers and leaves never meet. Love is not causal; fate dictates life and death. There are indeed Other Shore Flowers along Huangquan Road, but why do I feel like I’ve been here before?" Xiao Manxuan gazed at the dazzling Other Shore Flowers, her eyes rising a bit dazed.

Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu exchanged a glance, their eyes signaling: Has Xuanxuan remembered?

Zhang Lingyu subtly shook her head—no way.

"Do you guys think I have memory from a past life?" The little girl blinked her curious big eyes, looking at Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu.

"Uh, maybe you saw a similar scene in a dream, so you feel like you’ve been here." Lin Tian answered nonchalantly, and the little girl blinked but didn’t speak.

The three didn’t know how long they’d walked before the wandering souls ahead increased, interspersed with mournful cries.

"Wangxiang Platform, Three-Life Stone, Naihe Bridge, we’re here." Zhang Lingyu pointed ahead, speaking softly.

Those cries came from Wangxiang Platform, where life’s memories replay like a film, and finally, after drinking Mengpo Soup, all memories vanish.

"Lingyu, will Meng Po see through us?" Lin Tian glanced at the nearby high platform, asking quietly.

"I don’t think so. Meng Po only handles the Mengpo Soup, she doesn’t directly manage her Ghost Messengers, like those Great Generals who can’t possibly know every soldier under them." Zhang Lingyu thought and replied.

"Later, follow me, just keep your heads down and keep walking. If you meet Meng Po, just salute and keep moving, don’t speak." Zhang Lingyu instructed again.
