Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2106: Chapter 2103: Ancestor Xu

Six black-robed onmyoji walked over and bowed to Xu Feibai: "Young Master, we have received your notice and have prepared the Blood Pool Altar."

"Where is Ancestor Xu?" Xu Feibai nodded and asked.

"Ancestor Xu is currently burning incense and bathing, preparing to preside over the Blood Sacrifice ceremony," one of the onmyoji replied respectfully.

"I understand. Take Jiang Chen’s head to the altar first." Xu Feibai gestured, and Yuan Liuming promptly presented a crystal box.

The six onmyoji took the crystal box and bowed again before turning to leave.

"Blood Pool? Ancestor Xu?" Lin Tian was puzzled and couldn’t help but ask, "Who is Ancestor Xu?"

Xu Feibai smiled without explaining: "Ancestor Xu has long heard of you. I’ll take you to meet him; then you’ll know."

Lin Tian rubbed his chin and chuckled, "Really? My reputation has reached the big shot of the Xu Family?"

Xu Feibai walked and said, "Everything you do is earth-shattering, hard not to know."

"Not earth-shattering, but I’ve fought your family a few times. Will that Ancestor Xu hold grudges and cause me trouble?" Lin Tian said with a smile, referring to the Sun Shadow Association matter, where Sun Shadow repeatedly tried to steal the Xiao Family elixir recipe, and Oda Manaka was involved.

Oda Manaka is a member of the Xu Family, and Lin Tian fighting against her is like fighting against the Xu Family. Who knows what kind of temperament that Ancestor Xu has—big shots’ moods are ever-changing, clear skies one moment, and thunder the next.

"It’s just a meeting. Ancestor Xu is busy with the Blood Sacrifice ceremony and probably won’t have time for other matters." Xu Feibai shook his head and smiled.

"That means it’s still possible." Lin Tian shrugged, showing no fear, and Xu Feibai decided not to explain further.

Xu Feibai stopped in front of an ancient pavilion and told his subordinates indifferently: "Wait here."

Then he pushed open the door and walked inside, followed by Lin Tian. As soon as they entered, a large amount of heat hit them, and steam and a special aroma rose in the air.

Inside the house, there was a huge pool surrounded by bronze dragon heads, with hot water flowing from the mouths into the pool.

The room was filled with heat and steam from the pool, but whether it was a hot spring or a Japanese bath was unknown. In one corner of the room, an incense burner was burning, and the aroma came from it.

In the pool, a middle-aged man was sitting with a beard and long hair, his hair hanging loose, eyes slightly closed as if lost in thought, unclear whether he was resting or asleep.

Besides the middle-aged man, several maids stood by the warm pool; the maids were young women, but fully clothed, without any inappropriate scenes.

Each maid held something in her hands, whether it was a crown, a robe belt, or shoes, clearly waiting to assist the middle-aged man after his bath.

Seeing this scene, Lin Tian envied it profoundly; having young maids serve even during a bath, and several at once, was an imperial treatment. Many domestic tycoons don’t have this treatment, even if they did, they wouldn’t dare be so blatant and taken for granted.

Like Yun Hongxi; if he dared to have young women serve him during his bath, gossip would quickly spread throughout the circle, labeling him as morally improper.

As Xu Feibai entered the room, he stood by the pool respectfully, without speaking. The maids remained standing, heads down, unmoved by the presence of the two.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze shifting around the room. As he prepared to use his super vision to see through the middle-aged man, the man slowly opened his eyes. When fully open, his pupils flashed green.

What is this? Lin Tian’s heart stirred with curiosity.

Without instructions, the maids started moving, first using a curtain to shield the middle-aged man, then putting on the underwear, followed by the robe, belt, and shoes. A designated maid assisted the middle-aged man with his hair.

From start to finish, the middle-aged man didn’t need to move a finger; a robe was already worn. That’s the benefit of having maids, oddly enough, these maids serving a man’s bath showed no resistance.

Switching to the Yun Family’s servants, they surely wouldn’t serve the male master during a bath, opting to quit instead.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the maids retreated respectfully.

"Ancestor Xu, Lin Tian has been brought." Xu Feibai bowed, speaking respectfully.

At this moment, the middle-aged man was fully dressed, wearing a robe embroidered with embroidery, a jade belt, and his long hair tied into a bun, embodying a full ancient appearance.

"You’re Lin Tian?" Ancestor Xu spoke with a peculiar rhythm, compelling attention: "So young, not yet twenty, right?"

"Eighteen." Lin Tian replied directly.

"Becoming a zombie at eighteen, youthful forever, that’s wonderful." Ancestor Xu sighed softly, seemingly envious.

Lin Tian furrowed his brows, his identity revealed casually upon first words; what is Ancestor Xu implying.

"Your strength is commendable; are you interested in joining the Xu Family?" Ancestor Xu suddenly proposed very directly.

Lin Tian hesitated momentarily, then recovered: "I am used to freedom, and I don’t have the habit of serving others."

"Hahaha..." Ancestor Xu suddenly laughed, shaking his head continuously: "Bai, you didn’t tell him who I am?"

"Who are you?" Instinctively, Lin Tian followed his question and asked.

"I am none other than Xu Fu." The middle-aged man declared aloud.

This answer was like a bolt from the blue, making Lin Tian’s ears ring—not from the loudness but the name itself.

Who is Xu Fu? He’s a renowned historical figure, a Qin Dynasty fangshi, Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s imperial physician, tasked by the emperor to lead three thousand boys and girls eastward, seeking the Immortality Pill.

After the eastward journey, Xu Fu vanished from history; some say he died at sea, others claim he settled in Japan, became king, and taught the locals farming and fishing.

Regardless of the legend, the real person appearing now is breathtaking.

For a while, Lin Tian recovered, as if hit by nothing else would shake him, but a figure from history suddenly appearing was harder to accept than seeing a ghost.

"What do you say? Once you join the Xu Family, you’ll no longer have to be hunted by demon exorcists like in Huaxia. With your current identity, if demon exorcists find out, there will be no place for you in Huaxia."

"You understand; zombies and demon exorcists are destined enemies. They will pursue you relentlessly, especially the Zhang Family. But here is different; they would worship you like a god, as long as your power is strong enough." Ancestor Xu’s eyes showed amusement, his words full of temptation.

Lin Tian’s eyes flickered, seemingly swayed, and he asked calmly, "Are you also a zombie?"
