Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1723 - 1720: A Date with the Goddess

Xu Feibai seemed to catch the implication in Lin Tian’s words. A smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t care whether Yasuo lived or died. To him, Yasuo was just a tool. When a tool is useless, it naturally has no value.

"All right, you can get out of class now." Xu Feibai nodded, his expression slipping back into that of a teacher.

"Before I go, I’ve got one more question. Since it wasn’t Jiang Chen who bit you and turned you into a zombie, why were you chosen to become Jiang Chen’s Bloodline Inheritor?" Lin Tian voiced his doubt, because Xu Feibai was only a few hundred years old, whereas Jiang Chen had already been split and sealed back in Ancient Times.

Who turned him into a zombie? There had to be some special reason for him to become the Bloodline Inheritor. The Zombie Ancestor had created many zombies, but only one could be called the Bloodline Inheritor.

"My family has been passed down in Japan for over two thousand years, with descendants flourishing generation after generation. Because of my special constitution, I was the best candidate. I passed the trial of the Blood God Curse and successfully fused with Jiang Chen’s Blood, becoming the Bloodline Inheritor."

"As for my family’s affairs, that’s another story. If there’s time in the future, and you’re interested, I can slowly tell you about it." Xu Feibai spoke very simply, leaving out a lot of key content.

Lin Tian understood that it wasn’t that Xu Feibai was unwilling to talk, but that the timing wasn’t right. Lin Tian didn’t press, only asked in the end, "What kind of constitution do you have?"

Xu Feibai didn’t hesitate and answered very straightforwardly, "Extreme Yin Body. My bloodline is born containing Extreme Yin Qi. When I was born, because the Extreme Yin Qi erupted, it killed my mother. And ever since I was little, I was weaker and sicker than other people, often bullied by kids my age."

"They said I was a Heavenly Slaughter Star, doomed to kill those closest to me, that anyone could bully me. The brothers in my family, and people outside, if they weren’t mocking me, they were beating and scolding me. I was a concubine-born child in the clan to begin with, with no status. There was simply no one who would stand up for me."

"Until one time, I finally fought back, and smashed a clan brother unconscious with a brick. I was afraid my uncles would punish me, so I ran and hid. I didn’t expect that I would accidentally break into the clan’s forbidden land, the true forbidden land. From then on I learned that my family was hiding such a heaven-defying secret."

"And my life changed as well. I became the chosen one. At the age of twenty-five, I underwent the trial of the Blood God Curse and became the Jiang Chen Bloodline Inheritor. I changed from a piece of trash that anyone could bully into a strong man."

Xu Feibai spoke of his past in a flat tone. Although he was already a powerhouse now, that experience still seemed to be imprinted in his mind; even after several hundred years, it hadn’t faded.

Lin Tian, however, frowned, thinking to himself, Why does this guy’s backstory sound like he’s talking about me?

Xu Feibai had no idea what Lin Tian was thinking. After a moment of silence, he suddenly added, "Actually, an Extreme Yin Body isn’t the best candidate. According to my ancestors, a Taiyin Body is the most perfect constitution, the one with the greatest potential to become the king of zombies, the only one with a chance to surpass the Zombie Ancestor."

"Taiyin Body?" Lin Tian’s face was full of shock. In his heart he thought, Aren’t I a Taiyin Body? No wonder Qingyao was so excited back then. So a Taiyin Body really is born with a zombie destiny.

"You know about the Taiyin Body? Don’t tell me you have it?" Xu Feibai was even more surprised than Lin Tian, staring fixedly at his face.

Lin Tian blinked innocently and said casually, "I heard Qingyao mention it. But people with a Taiyin Body don’t live long, right?"

"You’re not wrong. It’s said that on the surface, a Taiyin Body doesn’t look any different from an ordinary person. In that regard, it’s better than an Extreme Yin Body—at least you’re not weak and sickly. But once the Taiyin Xuan Qi erupts, it could very well cost you your life." Xu Feibai seemed not to doubt Lin Tian’s words and answered.

Just as the two were talking, a few students walked in from outside—guys coming to play ball after classes.

"Looks like our talk is over for today. You can get out of class now. But I need to remind you of one thing: that Xiao girl beside you, her constitution is special. She has the ability to kill you. You’d better be careful." Xu Feibai gave a solemn reminder, then waved his hand and turned to leave.

Lin Tian flipped Xu Feibai off behind his back, thinking viciously, You dare try to sow discord between me and the Second Miss? I curse you to have instant noodles with no seasoning packet.

After Xu Feibai left, Lin Tian took out his phone, checked the time, then sent a message to Ning Wenbin: Seven o’clock tonight, Fengye Restaurant. The Goddess has a date with you. Miss it and it’s gone!

Just after he sent the text, there was a ding, and a reply came back. Only three words: I’ll be there.

The guy had suddenly become very stingy with his words. Lin Tian knew he must be busy getting ready. This guy had wanted to skip class and go prepare ages ago.

Leaving the court and returning to the apartment dorm, Lin Tian saw Xiao Manxuan carrying out the last soup from the kitchen. When she saw him, she joked, "If you didn’t come back, I’d suspect you went on a date with Teacher Xu."

"Hell no. Two grown men, what are we going on a date for? What’s real is I’m helping Ning Wenbin go on a date tonight." Lin Tian denied it on the spot. He definitely had no interest in bromance.

"Fine then, eat a little less. I heard the food at Fengye Restaurant is really good. You’d better save some room." Xiao Manxuan smiled with her eyes curved.

"No way. The dishes Xuanxuan cooks herself are the finest delicacies in the world. What the hell is Fengye Restaurant compared to that?" Lin Tian said with great swagger, and of course didn’t hold back. He didn’t even wait for rice to be served before digging in.

The meal was satisfying. Then after a shower and a change of clothes, it was almost seven o’clock.

Xiao Manxuan had specially put on a white dress. The soft fabric and tailored cut set off the little girl’s graceful figure—it really made the curvy places curvier and the slim places slimmer. On her feet was a pair of low heels that made her look even taller and more elegant.

Her legs were straight, with no stockings at all, but her smooth, fair skin drew the eye more than any pair of stockings.

"Xuanxuan, are you the one going on a date, or is someone else?" Lin Tian’s eyes were bright as he looked her up and down.

Under Lin Tian’s bold, direct gaze, Xiao Manxuan’s heart skipped a beat. Then she hummed with a flushed face, "Going on a date with you, yeah right."

After saying that, her face turned even redder. Then she ran out at a little trot, her delicate little leather boots tapping crisply on the polished tiles like a beautiful girl stepping to a rhythm.

Watching her beautiful, charming back, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his face. He picked up the long case leaning against the wall and headed out as well. Naturally, the guqin was inside the case.

Even though Lin Tian was only wearing casual clothes, his figure was tall and straight, his bearing striking. Walking beside Xiao Manxuan, they really were a talented man and a beautiful woman, a golden boy and jade girl.

Only the big case on his back spoiled the romantic mood a bit. Of course, neither of them cared what other people thought.

Fengye Restaurant was near the central district cafeteria. By the time the two of them reached the restaurant entrance, Ning Wenbin had already been waiting at the door for a long time, his face full of anxiety.
