Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1876 - 1873: Requesting Extended Leave

After a few seconds, Lin Tian broke through the water surface, feeling the surroundings dazzlingly bright. He looked up to find the sun hanging high in the sky, the sunlight brilliant. He glanced around and discovered that he had actually swum into a large lake.

The lakeside was surrounded by mountains and forests, and tall buildings could be vaguely seen in the distance. Just by looking at these scenes, he could not determine his location, so Lin Tian had no choice but to swim to shore first.

"Where have we ended up?" Xu Feibai looked around the trees, unable to tell the direction.

Lin Tian opened the waterproof bag, changed out of his torn, soaked clothes, then took out a phone from the bag, opened the map and location app, and was startled when he saw his position.

The two had swum dozens of miles away, the mountains and forests not far away were the six peaks of West Mountain, a branch of the eastern foothills of West Mountain, with scenic mountains and clear waters, a place rich in outstanding people, an excellent feng shui treasure land, where the Yun Family was situated.

"Dragon-locking Well, Yun Family, damn, we’ve swum really far." Lin Tian calculated the distance and couldn’t help but curse.

The two didn’t need to breathe underwater, and their swimming speed was incredibly fast, like human-shaped torpedoes, unknowingly reaching the lakes of West Mountain.

"It seems Zhang Heyuan also came out from here and took the Ice Soul Coffin, with the lake surrounded by mountains and forests, sparsely populated, no one would notice him carrying a coffin." Xu Feibai frowned, not looking too pleased.

It was difficult to find a part of Jiang Chen, yet someone got there first, anyone would feel unhappy.

Lin Tian didn’t care about Jiang Chen’s resurrection, it had nothing to do with him, at least not at the moment. It’s just that Xu Feibai’s mission temporarily failed, so Lin Tian couldn’t get information about Ying Gou.

"It seems the Zhang Family trip is unavoidable, Lin Tian, we need to prepare." Xu Feibai said seriously.

"What’s there to prepare, let’s talk about it when we can enter the Zhang Family." Lin Tian said irritably.

"At least take some leave, take ten days or half a month." Xu Feibai reminded.

Lin Tian glanced at him, speechless, "The homeroom teacher doesn’t have the authority to approve a ten-day leave, and the semester exams are approaching, whether the academy would approve such a long leave is still a question."

"You know Professor He so well, he’ll help you out." Xu Feibai seemed to have planned everything, reminding again.

"You’re quite good at planning for yourself." Lin Tian scoffed and ignored him, instead dialing a phone number.

As soon as the call connected, Lin Tian spoke directly, "Xuanxuan, we came out, but took another exit, you bring the car back near Beixinqiao."

"You’re finally out, whew..." Xiao Manxuan obviously let out a sigh of relief.

"Just a few hours, don’t worry." Lin Tian comforted.

"Hmph, just a few hours, felt like a long year to me..." Xiao Manxuan huffed tenderly.

Then she asked, "By the way, is the matter done?"

"No, we’ll talk about it when we get back." Lin Tian ended the call, and upon putting down the phone, found Xu Feibai with an odd expression.

He moved the corners of his mouth, with a rather teasing smile, "Amorous wanderer, let’s see how you’ll manage the relationships with so many women in the future."

"Can’t explain it to an old monster like you who’s hundreds of years old, generation gap." Lin Tian shrugged indifferently.

After packing their stuff, Lin Tian left the place. There were no roads around, but for the two of them, there were no mountains they couldn’t cross or rivers they couldn’t wade.

Moreover, with no one else around, Lin Tian could let loose his speed, quickly passing through the mountains and forests, returned to the city, and after a taxi ride taking more than an hour in total, finally returned to school.

Parting ways with Xu Feibai at the school gate, Lin Tian returned to the apartment dormitory, and his car was already parked in its space. It was a smart car, Lin Tian had input Xiao Manxuan’s access, so even without the car key, she could drive it back.

Feeling something, Lin Tian looked up and saw Xiao Manxuan waving from the balcony. Lin Tian gave a smile and ran up the stairs.

Opening the door, Xiao Manxuan dashed out, took the waterproof bag from Lin Tian’s hands, helping him organize the items, like a virtuous wife.

Looking at the little girl’s gentle eyes and rosy cheeks, Lin Tian almost couldn’t resist kissing her.

However, the little girl took several boxes out of the bag, interrupting Lin Tian’s improper thoughts, "Is this... Blue Snake Grass?"

She had seen the boxes containing Blue Snake Grass before, hence the question. Also, the boxes felt very cold to the touch, as if containing a box of ice cubes.

"It’s indeed Blue Snake Grass, but Xu Feibai’s mission failed, the Ice Soul Coffin was taken away by Zhang Heyuan, we have to make another trip to the Zhang Family." Lin Tian didn’t hide from the girl, she knew about Jiang Chen’s matter from the beginning, no need to keep it secret.

"The Zhang Family? Is it Lingyu’s family?" Xiao Manxuan was a bit surprised, then shook her head, "But, even if you know Zhang Lingyu, getting the Ice Soul Coffin won’t be easy."

"It’s definitely not easy." Lin Tian boasted, and the little girl didn’t even know he was a zombie, if she did, she’d understand how difficult it was.

"Forget about it, don’t think too much for now, after eating, we’ll go to the Ning Family, the Blue Snake Grass can’t be kept long outside the Underground Ice Cave." Lin Tian waved his hand, no longer discussing the topic.

The little girl went to cook, quickly making a meal, and after eating, Lin Tian called Ning Wenbin.

But as soon as the call connected, there was Ning Wenbin’s plea for help, "Brother Lin Tian, come save me..."

"What’s happening?" Lin Tian frowned.

"I’m at home, almost exhausted from training by my cousin..." Ning Wenbin said weakly.

Lin Tian was speechless and had to say, "Coincidentally, I have some business with your cousin, I’ll be there in about half an hour."

"Brother, you’re truly my savior..." Ning Wenbin shouted, and Lin Tian quickly hung up the call to avoid his eardrums being blasted.

Lin Tian drove with Xiao Manxuan straight to the Ning Family, this time the butler opened the door, "Wenbin and Luoxi are training at the Martial Arts Arena, you can find them there."

Thanking the old butler, Lin Tian, familiar with the place, walked towards the Ning Family’s Martial Arts Arena. Before he even arrived, he heard Ning Wenbin’s wailing as if he were being tortured.

When Lin Tian saw their training, he almost burst out laughing. Ning Luoxi had set a large hunting dog to chase after Ning Wenbin, who was desperately running.

Seeing Lin Tian appear, Ning Wenbin rushed over and hid behind him. The hunting dog followed and, upon seeing Lin Tian, bared its teeth, looking fierce.

Lin Tian simply gave it a calm look, and the large hunting dog whimpered, lay down at his feet, wagging its tail constantly to show friendliness, a scene that left the Ning Family siblings clicking their tongues in amazement.

"Big brother, this hunting dog was raised by Ning Jianxun, very fierce, only he and big sister can subdue it. Why did it turn into a docile husky when it saw you, doesn’t make sense." Ning Wenbin exclaimed with envy, he had just been chased around the Martial Arts Arena by the hunting dog, running at least three kilometers!
