Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2038: Chapter 2035: Bad News

"No way, was I sleeping so deeply?" Lin Tian was very surprised, reluctantly tearing his gaze away from the morning light. He stood up and stretched.

Then he realized his forehead felt a bit damp. Puzzled, Lin Tian wondered if his saliva had somehow ended up on his forehead. That would be bizarre, he thought as he reached up to wipe it away.

Xiao Manxuan saw his action, and her face turned beet red. Her eyes darted hesitantly, avoiding Lin Tian’s gaze. Lin Tian saw the little girl’s reaction and seemed to understand.

"Cough, cough, why is there saliva on my forehead? Could it be that Second Miss drooled in her sleep?" Lin Tian said deliberately.

The little girl glared and started to defend herself, "Who... who drooled? You were the one drooling, all yours!"

"No way, I was sleeping face down, how could my saliva fly upward?" Lin Tian pretended to think deeply, then he acted as if he suddenly understood. "Could someone have sneaked a kiss while I was asleep?"

Upon hearing this, the little girl’s face turned even redder. She was about to offer a defense but saw Lin Tian’s mischievous grin, realizing he had guessed correctly, she wished she could find a crack to disappear into.

"You rascal, teasing me, huh? Let’s see how I’ll teach you a lesson." The dignified Second Miss was not to be trifled with. The little girl climbed up, shot him a fierce look, and threw a pillow at him.

Lin Tian pretended to dodge, but the direction of his dodge was quite coincidental. Before the little girl realized it, she had already been caught, like a little lamb fallen into the clutches of the big bad wolf.

Of course, Lin Tian was this big bad wolf, the big bad wolf with a sly smile, and quite an ambiguous posture.

"What... what are you trying to do?" The little girl widened her eyes, her face flushed red. She pushed at Lin Tian’s shoulder with her hand to keep him from getting too close.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and softly said, "Take a guess, Little Xuanxuan."

"Big pervert, dare bully me, I’ll make my sister hit you." The little girl pretended to be very fierce; she looked like a little wolf with claws brandished, but she had no intimidation at all against Lin Tian’s stern demeanor.

"Cough, cough..." An inappropriate cough interrupted Lin Tian’s further "bullying."

Unhappy, Lin Tian got up, turned his head to see Mu Yun standing at the door. This First-class Impermanence just stood there, unfazed, calmly watching the affectionate scene.

Seriously, does he have to act so cool? Lin Tian grumbled inwardly, having opinions against this First-class Impermanence.

Xiao Manxuan realized Mu Yun had come in, and let out an embarrassed exclamation. She quickly ran down, distancing herself from Lin Tian the pervert.

"Cough, cough..." Lin Tian pretended to cough twice, then said seriously, "What brings the Mu Yun Envoy here?"

"Nothing much, just came to see if you were awake. I’ve had the servants at the City Lord’s Mansion prepare some food." Mu Yun said indifferently, ignoring Lin Tian’s murderous glares.

Upon hearing about food, the little girl immediately ran over and grabbed Mu Yun’s arm, "Sister Mu Yun, let’s go eat, don’t mind this guy."

Mu Yun nodded and indeed didn’t mind Lin Tian, leaving with Xiao Manxuan. Before exiting, the little girl turned back to Lin Tian and playfully stuck out her tongue in a triumphant manner.

Lin Tian shook his head amusingly, glanced at the large bed in the room, sighed in pity, and followed them out.

Just as he stepped out of the chamber, he saw He Shan walking over from afar. This guy was full of energy, and upon spotting Lin Tian, he started jogging over.

"Brother Lin Tian, you’re finally awake! It seems you’ve expended quite a bit at the fortress battle," He Shan said cheerfully, now utterly admiring Lin Tian to the point of reverence.

"Indeed, a bit," Lin Tian nodded casually. Though he had expended much, his recovery was quick too.

He Shan clapped his hands, saying heartily, "That’s perfect, we have food prepared."

"Oh, so you already know we’re not from the Netherworld? You don’t seem surprised at all." Lin Tian asked curiously, as several of them couldn’t consume Netherworld food. But He Shan took one look and figured it out.

"What’s the surprise? You mentioned you’re not welcomed in Fengdu City, I pretty much guessed it. I, Old He, don’t care where someone’s from if I take a liking to them. If not, even if he’s from Fengdu City, I’ll still disregard him."

"Last time a Yin Department inspector came to Blood Sea City, said he was ordered to oversee the army. What nonsense, dared to meddle in my training, knew nothing at all, I scolded him so badly he turned tail and ran."

"Claimed to be an emissary, I just considered him a cabbage!" He Shan grumbled freely, giving no credence to Fengdu City.

Though crudely spoken, Lin Tian found it refreshing and gave him a thumbs-up. Both laughed heartily as they walked out together.

As they approached the side hall, several beautiful women were eating. Xiao Manxuan saw Lin Tian and recalled what happened earlier, her pretty face inadvertently blushing again.

Zhang Lingyu laughed and said, "Lin Tian, you surely are outgoing, barely half a day and you’re already calling General He brother."

"Friends from afar, you’re all friends of mine, Old He. Especially the three female heroes, they’re Phoenixes among men, I, Old He, truly admire them," He Shan praised sincerely, with no pretense whatsoever.

The three beautiful women laughed, and after the two gentlemen sat down, Mu Yun said to He Shan, "General He, tell us about Blood Sea."

The fortress was merely an episode, Blood Sea was the destination; Lin Tian also looked at He Shan.

"Actually, the information Soul Hunters brought back is scarce. Few ventured to Blood Sea before; the latest trips were made for collecting Blood Spirit Stones, which prompted Soul Hunters to go there."

"According to surviving Soul Hunters, they were attacked by a giant beast in Blood Sea while searching for Blood Spirit Stones. You may have heard, that place of Blood Sea gathers the filth and resentment from Wangchuan River, with an extremely harsh living environment."

"Those who can survive in Blood Sea are all formidable beasts, like the giant creature attacking Soul Hunters; these beasts are exceptionally strong, impervious to weapons, and highly aggressive."

"Any Soul Hunter ambushed either ends up dead or maimed. Several groups have perished there, and the hunters who barely returned aren’t in good shape; their wounded companions are mostly ruined, none intact." He Shan’s tone was very heavy.

Lin Tian and the others exchanged glances, recalling the incident upon first arriving at Blood Sea City, witnessing a Soul Hunter carrying an injured comrade at the city gates, whose legs were completely severed.

"Is there any other information?" Lin Tian asked.

"Right, there are also creatures like Blood Sea Stink Bugs living in Blood Sea. We often use the name to curse folks, but don’t underestimate them. Remember a rule: those surviving in Blood Sea aren’t simple."

"However, none of the Soul Hunters encountered Blood Sea Stink Bugs; Blood Sea is too mysterious. Even having lived in the Netherworld for a thousand years, I still don’t know what survives inside. If it’s unnecessary, I advise you not to go." He Shan warned solemnly.
