Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1384 - 1381: Drawing a Talisman on the Palm

Seeing Lin Tian treat a black card so casually, Charlotte raised her eyebrows attractively but didn’t comment. She continued, "Also, Asina just had your alchemy cauldron airlifted over. When you went to catch Langde, I mentioned this to her."

Finished speaking, the Lady Lord walked aside, leaning against the wall, looking at Zhang Lingyu, indicating it was her turn.

"You can leave; I want to talk with Lin Tian privately," Zhang Lingyu said lightly.

"This is my master’s room, so I should be the one staying." Charlotte retorted, unwilling to back down.

Once more, their eyes clashed. Lin Tian almost heard the "zizz" sound of electric sparks in the air. The two women had been on friendly terms initially, but now they were at odds. Lin Tian was speechless, wondering what women were thinking.

"Charlotte, you should go back first." Lin Tian gestured dismissively.

Charlotte cast a resentful glance at Lin Tian but still obediently turned around. She walked to the window, forming bat wings, and flew away in a flap.

As she flew out the window, she was almost horizontal, and who knows if Charlotte did it intentionally. She was facing away from Lin Tian. The lower hem of her silk robe was already short, and now Lin Tian saw almost a hint of black lace appearing and disappearing.

Damn, flirting with me before leaving. You’re driving me crazy; I might just deal with you right here. Lin Tian swallowed hard, thinking fiercely.

Turning his head, he met Zhang Lingyu’s gaze, who snorted lightly, "Your eyes almost popped out."

Lin Tian blinked confusedly and said strangely, "I feel like I’ve been caught in a Bewitching Technique."

"You still know you’re caught in a Bewitching Technique? It seems the Lady Lord’s skills are lacking a bit." Zhang Lingyu teased.

Seeing the female Heavenly Master’s expression, Lin Tian became more bewildered, frowning, "No, I’ve known Charlotte for a while, and she always was cold and domineering, never seeming like someone who’d know Bewitching Techniques?"

"Humph, she learned the Bewitching Technique, and we have another of your maids to thank for that." Zhang Lingyu lightly snorted.

Another maid? Lin Tian was puzzled but soon realized, "You mean Asina?"

"Exactly." Zhang Lingyu nodded, confirming Lin Tian’s guess, "While you were catching Langde, they talked quite a lot, and when talking about you, they discussed Bewitching Technique."

Discussing Bewitching Technique when talking about me, what’s going on? Lin Tian could not grasp the situation. Could these two Blood Clan women be after me?

Zhang Lingyu ignored Lin Tian’s reaction and continued, "Asina obtained a method to cultivate the Bewitching Technique long ago, supposedly from our Huaxia. But I think she only knows its surface."

"How can you tell?" Lin Tian asked curiously, wondering if Zhang Lingyu knew about Bewitching Technique too?

The female Heavenly Master, oblivious to Lin’s thoughts, explained with the intent to resolve doubts, "Bewitching Technique was initially created to enhance personal charisma and charm. Regardless of gender, anyone could cultivate it as an advanced cultivation technique. However, as it spread, it gradually gained elements of lust, added by opportunists."

"Bewitching Technique is divided into external and internal charm. Throughout history, concubines loved by the Emperor have mostly learned Bewitching Techniques; otherwise, mere appearance wouldn’t enamor an Emperor. His harem was filled with three thousand beauties. But what these concubines learned was typically external charm, even mixed with Evil Techniques to beguile the Emperor."

"External charm enhances the body and flesh; internal charm strengthens the essence and spirit. Those skilled in Bewitching Technique practice both, at times confusing people with just a glance. Charlotte, learning that technique, is naturally blessed with her beauty and figure but has only just begun without entering its threshold. Anyone slightly firm in mind wouldn’t be enchanted by her." Zhang Lingyu glanced at Lin Tian, indicating something with her words.

Lin Tian felt frustrated after listening; he protested, "Are you saying my willpower is weak?"

"What kind of willpower does a lecher have against beauty?" Zhang Lingyu scorned and gave him a big eye roll.

"No way, you’re so familiar with Bewitching Techniques; have you cultivated it?" Lin Tian, basically immune to being called a lecher, was curious about how the female Heavenly Master would appear using Bewitching Techniques.

"Whether I have or not, what’s it to you? Be careful, don’t fall for their ploys unwittingly." Zhang Lingyu shot him a glance, refusing to reveal whether she had learned and instead warned him.

Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, "What benefit would it bring her if she used Bewitching Techniques on me? It’s clearly not worth the effort."

Zhang Lingyu chuckled and said, "You don’t understand a woman’s mind. Charlotte is such an exceptional woman, with beautiful looks, a perfect figure, formidable power, shrewd mind—a true combination of beauty and talent, astonishing combat power, money, and wealth not even to mention. The term ’wealthy and beautiful’ doesn’t fit her."

"Such a woman, and you don’t touch her but repeatedly reject her. This is quite a blow to her proud heart. Even now, as your maid, she’s still pondering how to conquer you. To conquer a man, beauty is the best means; you were moved just now, weren’t you?" Zhang Lingyu glanced at him, smiling lightly.

Lin Tian heard this and shrugged covering nonchalance, "Why make it so complicated? I’m easy to entice. She could strip at night and crawl into my bed; I’d ensure her wish comes true."

"Jerk! Lecher!" Such straightforward words made Zhang Lingyu’s face red, and she scolded angrily twice.

Lin Tian remained indifferent, saying, "Forget it. Why bother worrying about her? Chances are we won’t see each other much, anyway. But you, are you here to use Bewitching Technique on me too?"

"Bewitch your head, I’m here to say goodbye." Zhang Lingyu glared at him, speaking irritably.

"Goodbye? Aren’t you leaving with me tomorrow?" Lin Tian picked up on the meaning in her words, frowning slightly.

With a slight shake of her head, Zhang Lingyu looked somewhat forlorn, speaking softly, "Actually, the first day you saved me, I contacted my family. I just used an excuse, saying I was investigating some matters, so I could stay these days. But tonight, I must return."

"Tonight? So soon?" Lin Tian blurted, revealing his reluctance naturally.

Seeing Lin Tian’s worried expression, Zhang Lingyu felt a bit happy, slightly alleviating her farewell sorrow. She said softly, "Eventually, I must leave. Now, lend me your hand."

"What for?" Lin Tian was quite confused, yet extended his palm.

Zhang Lingyu gently held Lin Tian’s hand by its back. The female Heavenly Master’s hand was smooth and fair. She seemed to chant softly and then drew a talisman in Lin Tian’s palm.

Though the talisman was complex, Lin Tian seemed to have seen it somewhere.
