Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2016: Chapter 2013: Huangquan Inn (Part 2)

"Meng Po is so beautiful." Xiao Manxuan also sincerely praised her. Even a calamity-level beauty like the little girl was so impressed, which shows how extraordinary this legendary Meng Po is.

Meng Po also noticed the arrival of Lin Tian and the others, put down the green plant in her hand, and gracefully walked over.

Hongling bowed and respectfully said, "Master, I’ve brought them."

Meng Po nodded and walked to Lin Tian and the others. Mu Yun quickly saluted, "Greetings, Meng Po."

"No need to be formal, this is not your Yan Jun Hall, no need for kneeling." Meng Po lightly waved her silk sleeve, and Mu Yun, who was about to kneel, involuntarily stood up.

Such strong mana, Lin Tian was startled. Mu Yun, as a member of the Yaksha tribe and a First-class Impermanence, was very formidable, yet Meng Po only needed a slight wave to prevent her from kneeling.

Meng Po’s gaze swept over the people one by one and finally lingered on Lin Tian’s face for a few seconds before turning to walk towards a pavilion, saying as she went, "Come sit this way."

Lin Tian exchanged glances with Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu, seeing the same thought in each other’s eyes. This Meng Po is too approachable, without any airs, unlike Lord Zhu and Hei Xin, who were full of bureaucratic authority.

With such an attitude, Lin Tian couldn’t see through Meng Po’s intentions, but he didn’t care what Meng Po’s thoughts were, as long as he remembered the purpose of this trip.

He and the ladies followed Meng Po to sit in the pavilion. The pavilion was also wooden, with Flower Vines climbing over it, fresh and natural, making one completely forget that they were in the Netherworld.

"Hongling..." Meng Po called softly, and Hongling walked in, holding several jade-colored small bowls.

She placed the jade bowls in front of Lin Tian and the others and poured tea, saying: "Please."

The crystal-clear jade bowls, water so pure and delicious-looking, seemed refreshing and sweet, but Lin Tian did not move, nor did Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu reach for them.

Because all three remembered the scene in front of the Naihe Bridge, where the female ghost officer distributed Mengpo Soup to the yin souls, which was eerily similar. Tea from any place else could be consumed, but not Mengpo’s tea; drinking Mengpo Soup was no joke, it would completely erase all memories.

"Are you afraid this is Mengpo Soup?" Meng Po glanced at them, revealing a natural smile.

"Since Meng Po says so, I naturally trust you." Lin Tian smiled, picked up the jade bowl, and drank the tea in two gulps.

Zhang Lingyu and Xiao Manxuan also drank; as the tea entered, the two women only felt the water was cool and sweet. As it reached their stomachs, a peculiar aura spread, permeating their internal organs and limbs.

Where the aura passed, it felt as if their body inside and out had been cleansed, pristine and without blemish, all ailments and bad luck vanished, their spirits unprecedentedly clear and bright, eyes brimming with brilliance, skin becoming even more crystalline.

"What is this tea?" The two women exclaimed in surprise, simultaneously.

Meng Po remained silent, not responding, merely watching Lin Tian. The two women found it strange and looked at Lin Tian, only to be startled. Lin Tian’s brows were furrowed, and wisps of black smoke rose from his head.

"Lin Tian..." The two women immediately became tense, calling out. Xiao Manxuan, a bit angry, furrowed her beautiful brows, the little girl stared at Meng Po: "What on earth is this? Why is Lin Tian like this?"

"Don’t worry, he won’t die." Meng Po replied softly.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a flame symbol appeared on Lin Tian’s brow, with seemingly purple flames dancing in his eyes. He slightly opened his mouth, exhaling a puff of white mist.

At this moment, Lin Tian didn’t feel comfortable, there was no cool sweetness nor clarity of mind. When the tea entered his stomach, it was like swallowing a handful of steel nails, causing bursts of sharp pain inside.

A strange aura was slowly dispersing; Lin Tian felt weak, indicating that his zombie body was being harmed.

"Master, there is a strange energy in the tea, clashing with your innate power, expel it quickly." The Sword Spirit exclaimed in his mind.

Lin Tian didn’t have time to think, as soon as his mind moved, the power of fire gushed from his brow, purple flames surged towards his abdomen, and the tea he had drunk was wrapped in the purple flames and transformed into mist, expelled out.

But that spreading aura was like an ethereal ghost, rampaging within, depleting the power of his zombie body.

Just as Lin Tian was about to exert more fire power in desperation, a long-lost chill emerged from his abdomen, spreading through his limbs and bones almost instantly.

Taiyin Xuan Qi!

Lin Tian had this thought, and he only had time to have this thought; the chill swept once and quickly retreated back into the depths of his abdominal Dantian, disappearing without a trace, along with the strange aura.

And the Sword Spirit crouched in a corner, shivering.

Taiyin Xuan Qi even devoured that aura’s energy, Lin Tian understood in his heart, and was also amazed. What was this bowl of tea water, containing energy capable of harming a zombie body? The most crucial point was that it could even catch the Dharma Eye of Taiyin Xuan Qi.

It’s known that Taiyin Xuan Qi doesn’t just devour any energy; energies that aren’t of a high enough grade are always disdainfully ignored.

"Lin Tian..." a voice called beside his ear. Lin Tian came back to his senses, turning to see the worried eyes of Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu.

"I’m fine." Lin Tian said firmly, then turned his gaze to Meng Po, just in time to meet Meng Po’s eyes.

Their eyes clashed in the air, as if sparks flew, Lin Tian squinted slightly, seeing various emotions in Meng Po’s eyes: scrutiny, surprise, unexpectedness.

Meng Po’s eyes were always calm as water; it was the first time Lin Tian saw so many changes in her expression, and without concealment, demonstrating the inner turmoil of Meng Po.

However, this emotion quickly dissipated, and she restored her calm as water expression. Without waiting for Lin Tian to speak, she had already blandly said, "I know what you want to ask, follow me and you’ll know the answer."

After speaking, without waiting for Lin Tian’s agreement, she rose and walked towards the backyard of the house. Lin Tian didn’t hesitate, getting up to follow. Xiao Manxuan and Zhang Lingyu exchanged a look and wanted to follow, but Hongling stepped forward to block their way.

"Meng Po only invited him alone, please wait patiently again," Hongling said calmly.

Xiao Manxuan became anxious, although she was just an ordinary person, she could also tell something was wrong just now, and naturally, she wasn’t assured of Lin Tian going alone because Huangquan Inn was too strange.

Lin Tian turned back, gave her a reassuring look, and waved his hand, signaling her not to worry. The little girl felt slightly at ease and had to sit down again.

Zhang Lingyu looked at Mu Yun, frowning: "Mu Yun Envoy, you’re familiar with Huangquan Inn, what exactly is this tea?"

Mu Yun shook his head, puzzled, "I’m not sure either, even though Huangquan Inn is also in the Netherworld, I haven’t been here many times, my understanding is only superficial, I haven’t even been to the backyard."
