Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 2129: Chapter 2126: Disadvantage

Lin Tian swallowed a mouthful of water, poured himself two glasses, suppressing that stirring thought, while Miss seemed genuinely thirsty, drinking more than half a pot of water before stopping.

Her complexion recovered slightly, her lips returned to a rosy hue, and looking at Lin Tian, who was just inches away, she thought about the little clothing she wore, causing her heart to flutter again.

After calming herself, Miss said, "Earlier, I did it on purpose. I suppressed my power."

Lin Tian frowned slightly and said, "Really? Can realm also be suppressed?"

Miss shook her head slightly, her eyes somewhat ethereal: "A realm cannot be suppressed; once you have comprehended it, you have comprehended it. Only power can be suppressed. For an Ancient Martial Artist to enter the Innate Realm, both power and realm must advance simultaneously."

"Mentally, I have already comprehended the Innate Realm, but my power is suppressed at Postnatal Perfection, meaning I’m still in the Postnatal Perfection Realm and haven’t advanced to the Innate Early Stage," Miss’s explanation seemed a bit convoluted.

However, Lin Tian understood, only becoming more surprised, "Is that possible?"

Miss nodded with great certainty, "Of course it’s possible. In ancient times, sages would read and understand, cultivate themselves, reaching a high spiritual realm, but their bodies were no different from ordinary people. However, if they were willing to cultivate, they could potentially leap to the Innate Realm or even surpass it in a short period."

"I understand now," Lin Tian nodded in understanding, "Cultivating power is easy, comprehending the realm is hard, just like Aunt Wang, who made no progress for twenty years, and then with one day of enlightenment, jumped two levels from Postnatal Perfection to Innate Early Stage, and then to Mid Innate."

"That’s basically what it means," Miss confirmed.

"Are you doing this for...?" Lin Tian guessed curiously.

Miss lowered her head slightly, and when she raised it again, her eyes were extremely determined: "Although I don’t care about winning or losing, this time, I must win."

The two looked into each other’s eyes, seemingly able to see into each other’s hearts. Suddenly, Lin Tian slapped his forehead, feeling guilty: "Oh no, when I came in, I left Xuanxuan to wait in the living room. We’ve been at it all night, it’s almost dawn. That girl must be exhausted."

Miss also showed a pained expression and quickly got up: "You go down first, I’ll change clothes."

Lin Tian nodded, turned, and left, but as he was leaving, he still glanced at Miss a few times. Her graceful body, under the wide bath towel, still revealed her curves vividly.

Miss felt that Lin Tian’s gaze seemed like X-ray vision, also carrying heat, making her blush and her heart race.

Lin Tian walked out of Miss’s room, down the stairs, and saw a cute figure sitting at the living room door, extending a long, white finger, drawing circles in the air.

The little girl was obviously not cursing anyone but was directing a small purple insect to fly around.

She was simultaneously directing and muttering to the insect: "Little Zi, what do you think happened to sister? It’s almost dawn, and she still hasn’t come out."

"What? You say everything will be fine because Lin Tian is there?" The little girl moved her finger as if conversing with the purple creature: "That’s true. Although that rascal likes bickering with sister, he actually treats her very well. With him there, nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Lin Tian broke into a sweat, wondering if he really liked bickering with Miss? But the little girl talking to herself was indeed quite cute and interesting.

"Ahem, Second Miss, talking to thin air, aren’t you afraid people will think you’re crazy? Also, why am I a rascal?" Lin Tian walked over, jokingly.

"Lin Tian, you’re out..." Xiao Manxuan exclaimed in surprise, running over, ignoring Lin Tian’s question.

But Little Zi was even faster, buzzing over and flying around Lin Tian, appearing ingratiatingly close. Since returning from the Netherworld, Little Zi’s intelligence had grown, becoming more humanlike, and could even have simple conversations with Xiao Manxuan.

Lin Tian waved his hand, and Little Zi obediently flew back to the guarding necklace, making Xiao Manxuan, its owner, feel a bit helpless. Who was the owner exactly?

"Xuanxuan, rest assured, Miss is fine," Lin Tian patted her little head, smiling slightly.

"I once heard sister’s master say that when Ancient Martial Artists go into seclusion to breakthrough realms, it’s very dangerous without a protector. Before, it was always Master helping sister. Now it’s you. Thank you, Lin Tian." Xiao Manxuan’s watery big eyes stared at Lin Tian, with a face full of seriousness.

"It’s nothing; after all, I’m a bodyguard, and she’s the boss." Lin Tian said with a mischievous smile.

"I never considered you a bodyguard, nor did you ever treat me as your boss." Miss’s voice came from behind, with a hint of playfulness.

Lin Tian scratched his brow, finding it amusing. Miss seemed correct; he had slapped this female CEO’s butt from the beginning, then it was Second Miss’s turn. Only Mrs. Xiao was left.

Ugh, why am I thinking about Mrs. Xiao? That’s sinful, Lin Tian promptly self-criticized.

"However, I really thank you; every time I break through a realm, it is you who brings me enlightenment." Miss clasped her hands into the sword finger, forming a peculiar gesture, placing it in front of her chest, and solemnly bowed.

This gesture was different from the cupped fist salute, seemingly unique to Sword Dao Ancient Martial Artists, very solemn.

Lin Tian laughed and casually said, "Are you confident you can beat Ji Zimo?"

Miss walked to the door, looking out at the rising morning sun, calmly replied, "I will do my best."

The morning light shone into the living room from the doorway, casting three shadows. Lin Tian lifted his head to look directly at the sun, with Miss and Xiao Manxuan quietly and warmly looking at him from the side.

Suddenly, footsteps broke the silence. Yun Xiaotian walked in from the yard, seeing the three, particularly Lin Tian, paused for a moment.

"Brother Lin, you..." Yun Xiaotian looked at Lin Tian, then at the Xiao sisters, clearly saying, did you stay here all night?

"Yes, that’s right," Lin Tian replied honestly.

However, this honest answer drew a sultry glance from Miss, who quickly clarified, "Xiao Tian, don’t listen to him talking nonsense. He indeed stayed at my place last night, but it was because I was in seclusion, and he was protecting me."

Did I talk nonsense? Lin Tian looked innocent; he literally said three words.

Seeing Lin Tian’s innocent expression, Xiao Manxuan and Yun Xiaotian laughed.

"I’ll bring some breakfast for the two sisters. Since Brother Lin is here, you might as well join us," Yun Xiaotian laughed.

"Then I won’t be polite." Lin Tian, never knowing to be polite, first took the bag, opening it as he spoke, "By the way, where’s your brother? He hasn’t shown his face for a while."

"Brother is currently training in the back mountain; he’s been like this for days, likely to defeat Li Wenfeng in the competition," Yun Xiaotian slightly frowned, apparently worried about his brother’s condition.

Lin Tian stopped his movements, also frowning, "Before apprenticing, your brother could only be considered an average Ancient Martial Artist, with a realm around Postnatal Early Stage to Mid Stage. His strengths lie in sniping and assassination, facing directly in a competition; I’m afraid..."
