Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1888 - 1885: Former Successor

"Sister Ruyan, let me clarify once more, I’m not the man you’re looking for, alright." Lin Tian was very helpless, while thinking to himself, does Lingyu really like me? But she’s always arguing with me.

Or maybe, she doesn’t accept me, just because of Xuanxuan’s sake, or as friends? Lin Tian was a bit confused, he’s not a love expert, how would he understand a woman’s mind, he had a girlfriend who chased after him instead.

"Did you come to Qingtan Town to find Lingyu, that girl?" Zhang Ruyan didn’t discuss this but asked back.

"Kind of, she was punished to face the wall, I bear a lot of responsibility." Lin Tian felt quite guilty, not knowing if that girl is suffering while facing the wall, or if she’s being physically punished. These thousand-year-old family rules are strict, who knows what weird punishments there might be, being expelled from the family would be light, sometimes you have to pay with your life.

But Zhang Ruyan looked at Lin Tian with a seemingly amused smile, not speaking for a while, as if she saw through Lin Tian. After a while, she finally spoke: "You’re a zombie, isn’t coming to the Zhang Family a death wish for you? Is it really just to see that girl Lingyu? Or perhaps for something else, like... the Ice Soul Coffin?"

Lin Tian was startled, is this woman a spirit? How can she see through everything!

"Indeed, you’re of the Jiang Chen Bloodline, coming for the Ice Soul Coffin is quite reasonable." Zhang Ruyan added another sentence, but she extended a finger, waving it in front of Lin Tian: "But, since I’ve caught you, temporarily forget about that idea, obediently listen to me. Here, it’s my domain, I call the shots."

"Sister Ruyan, I really can’t hold this back, are you sick, always thinking about the Demon Star, have you ever asked for my opinion!" Lin Tian’s face was a line of black, helpless yet annoyed.

"I can’t hold my tongue either, are you sick too, resisting time and again, am I not beautiful? Is my body not good?" Zhang Ruyan was not to be outdone, staring back at Lin Tian, the only one daring to speak like this, besides Charlotte, she was the second.

"You’re very beautiful, your figure is very good, I am not sick, honestly, men like beautiful women, but I’m quite stubborn, the more people command me, the more I resist." Lin Tian spoke frankly, not wanting to beat around the bush with her.

Zhang Ruyan shrugged her shoulders, indifferent to Lin Tian’s words: "It seems you’re quite stubborn, then I can only use some methods, anyway, you’re in my hands, besides obediently complying, you have no other choice." Saying this, she was ready to summon the Flower Vine.

"Wait..." Lin Tian yelled because he suddenly remembered Zhang Ruyan’s earlier words: "I can prove I’m not the man you’re looking for."

You’re of the Jiang Chen Bloodline, just this sentence reminded Lin Tian, and now he reacted.

Zhang Ruyan frowned, Lin Tian didn’t wait for her to speak, and then stretched out his hand, a violet flame rose from his palm. Seeing the violet flame, Zhang Ruyan’s eyes widened instantly, she was stunned.

"Sister Ruyan, since you’ve been with him for so long, you must have seen his innate power, and this is my innate power, the power of fire, clearly different. Now, do you still think I’m the person you are waiting for?" Lin Tian moved the violet flame in his hand, indicating for her to see it clearly.

Zhang Ruyan remained motionless, suddenly, two lines of tears streamed from her eyes, crossing her cheeks and dripped onto the grass. She suddenly crouched down, hugged her knees, buried her head, and then cried out loudly.

What the heck? Lin Tian looked puzzled, the imposing queen just now was like a little girl now, burying her head and crying, what’s the situation?

Lin Tian really couldn’t stand seeing a woman cry, he moved a few steps closer, crouched down as well, and gently patted her back: "Ruyan? Don’t cry, crying makes you not look good."

Damn, what am I saying, at times like these, my mouth becomes stupid, not able to comfort people, Lin Tian quite despised himself.

Lin Tian rubbed his brow, racking his brains to think of something to say, to comfort her, after all, she’s not Xiao Manxuan, nor Miss, some words are hard to say.

Suddenly, a scent wafted over, Zhang Ruyan leaned over, originally this wasn’t much, a woman crying always needs a shoulder to lean on.

But Zhang Ruyan not only cried, but while crying, she was slapping Lin Tian hard, crying in great sobs, her tears flowing like a flood, soon "drenched" Lin Tian’s clothes.

The main point is, Zhang Ruyan was really hitting him, with her strength, just these few slaps, an ordinary person might have lost their life already, but because he’s strong, he was able to endure.

Suddenly, she stopped her frantic actions, cried even louder, while crying she said aggrievedly: "Whimper whimper, why are you like a rock, hitting you makes my hand hurt, you all are bad people..."

Lin Tian was quite depressed as well, what is all this, it seems like I bullied her now, but in reality, she was the one who hit me, wasn’t I the one being bullied! If I were a bit weaker, I’d already be crippled, who could I complain to?

However, looking at Zhang Ruyan with tears streaming down her face like pear blossoms in rain, you can’t really get angry, also, Zhang Ruyan knows he’s a zombie, and that’s why she hit him so hard, just to vent her emotions, if it were an ordinary person, she probably would’ve done the same, normal people couldn’t withstand her strength.

Forget it, for Zhang Lingyu’s sake, don’t argue with her, Lin Tian comforted himself like this, although he still found her abnormal behavior strange.

"Uh, sister Ruyan, should you calm down a bit, don’t do something you’ll regret later." Lin Tian kindly reminded her.

When Zhang Ruyan heard this, she stopped crying, wiped her tears, and said decisively: "I’ve thought it through clearly, you’re a zombie, it doesn’t matter, as long as they know the Demon Star isn’t a disaster, it doesn’t matter how it’s done."

"Damn, are you retaliating against the family, or against an ex-boyfriend?" Lin Tian’s face was a mess of lines, defeated by this crazy woman, he paused then softened his voice: "Or are you retaliating against yourself?"

Zhang Ruyan’s expression changed repeatedly, her spirit suddenly became lonely, and she finally stood up, walked out of the barrier without a word, stood by the pond, looking at her reflection in the water, not knowing if she was feeling sorry for herself, or admiring herself.

Lin Tian estimated, it was likely more self-pity, since her mood wasn’t too good, who knows how long the emotions in her heart have been repressed.

"Is this still me, once gifted, full of spirit? Sigh..." Zhang Ruyan sighed with endless melancholy.

Daring to speak of oneself as gifted without reservation, either is said from ignorance of one’s limits, or is genuinely talented, Lin Tian believes Zhang Ruyan is the latter.

She didn’t look at Lin Tian, still speaking softly: "I was once the Heavenly Master’s successor of the Zhang Family..."

Lin Tian was stunned, blurted out: "Isn’t the Heavenly Master’s successor of the Zhang Family Zhang Lingyu? With her personality, she wouldn’t joke about such things, would she?" Then who is the rightful successor, her or Zhang Lingyu?
