Zombie Bodyguard
Chapter 1806 - 1803: Successful Treatment? (Part 2)
On the Ning Family’s training ground, a beautiful woman sat cross-legged on the ground, her back straight, and her training outfit accentuated her magnificent bust. The silhouette cast by the setting sun was also gracefully curvy on the ground.
Whenever Lin Tian saw such "weapons" on the same level as Mrs. Xiao and Charlotte, he couldn’t help but swallow a few times.
Xiao Manxuan looked on with envy, not just because of those majestic peaks, but also because Ning Luoxi could practice martial arts. The little girl also wanted to become an Ancient Martial Artist like her sister but was forever denied this because of her constitution.
Ning Wenbin’s reaction was the strangest; the moment he saw his cousin, he instinctively turned around wanting to slip away, seemingly shadowed by past training experiences.
Lin Tian directly reached out, easily pulling him back. "You’re already here, what’s there to be afraid of?"
"Alright, since you’re here, my cousin can’t scold me," Ning Wenbin said nonchalantly.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don’t disturb your cousin’s practice," Lin Tian whispered, gently reminding.
Ning Luoxi’s chest rose and fell slightly with her breath, the light of the setting sun enveloping her, seemingly casting her in a red glow. But Lin Tian could sharply sense the unique energy, invisible to the Physical Eye, continuously gathering into her body.
She was absorbing energy, but her cultivation technique energy was different from other Ancient Martial techniques. The Ancient Body Technique cultivated energy to temper the body, making her body the strongest weapon.
"Huh, why is Sister Luoxi’s face so red?" Xiao Manxuan suddenly said, very puzzled.
"Oh no!" Lin Tian exclaimed, leaping into the training ground. He quickly unleashed a golden thread, unhesitatingly piercing a needle into the Bai Hui acupoint at the top of Ning Luoxi’s head.
The Bai Hui acupoint is the meeting of all yang, where all the veins converge. Stimulating it can regulate internal energy and clear the mind, calming the spirit.
Ning Luoxi slightly opened her eyes, seeing it was Lin Tian, she felt a slight relief, and her body relaxed, causing her to lean unconsciously against Lin Tian.
Ning Wenbin’s eyes widened; his formidable cousin was unexpectedly leaning on Lin Tian like a little bird clinging to a person. Was the sun rising from the west?
Xiao Manxuan didn’t bother with the astonished guy, hurriedly running over to help Lin Tian lift Ning Luoxi.
"Sister Luoxi, are you okay?" Xiao Manxuan asked worriedly, knowing the dangers of practicing cultivation going awry, having a martial sister herself.
Ning Luoxi shook her head, pushing away Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan stubbornly. "It’s nothing; it’s not the first time, just a little faint spell."
Lin Tian furrowed his brows, saying seriously, "Where’s the Blue Snake Grass?"
Her condition wasn’t just a simple fainting spell; her violent energy had relapsed, or perhaps it had long relapsed. As long as she continued practicing, such danger would always accompany her.
Ning Luoxi took out a small glass bottle from her body, containing a pale blue liquid that refracted a beautiful light in the sunset, much like the aurora, very beautiful.
"The last bottle," Ning Luoxi said very calmly.
"The last bottle?" Lin Tian’s gaze sharpened, asking, "I refined a lot back then, how is there only one bottle left?"
Ning Luoxi remained calm, saying lightly, "Because I didn’t stop practicing. At first, one bottle could suppress it, but as time went on, it became two bottles, then three bottles. The faster my skill improved, the more Blue Snake Grass juice I needed, so there’s just one bottle left now."
"Just now I tried not to use the Blue Snake Grass, tried to forcibly suppress it, but it seemed ineffective," Ning Luoxi said.
"Sigh...why do that?" Lin Tian sighed slightly, shaking his head. "With your excellence, even without a body full of skills, you could still become an outstanding special instructor, why persist despite knowing it’s unachievable."
Ning Luoxi didn’t retort forcefully, instead, she looked at Lin Tian steadily, "If it were you, what would you do?"
If it were me? Lin Tian’s mouth moved, but he didn’t say anything. If it were him, he knew he’d definitely be like Ning Luoxi, as both of them were determined people, proud people who wouldn’t turn back after hitting a wall. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
When there’s no road ahead, they’d stomp out their own path! Lin Tian believed Ning Luoxi had the same thought. Why are all the women he knows so stubborn? Could this be what they call like attracting like?
Lin Tian couldn’t understand, but he wouldn’t sit and wait for destruction. He said very solemnly, "Come with me, maybe someone can help you."
"Who?" Xiao Manxuan and Ning Wenbin asked in surprise, and Ning Luoxi blinked, evidently having the same question.
"Someone you also know, Wu Xiuluo," Lin Tian said truthfully, looking at Xiao Manxuan and Ning Wenbin.
"Xiuluo!" Ning Wenbin exclaimed, then realizing his slip, he quickly shut his mouth, but Ning Luoxi’s gaze was already on him, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
Lin Tian found it funny. This guy actually had moments of embarrassment; he patted Ning Wenbin’s shoulder and then told Ning Luoxi, "There’s nothing to hide; Ning Wenbin likes the first school beauty of our school, Wu Xiuluo..."
Lin Tian recounted the amusing stories about the two in detail. Ning Wenbin’s face turned red, but when the story ended, Ning Luoxi unexpectedly said, "Cousin, I support you."
"Really?" Ning Wenbin was overjoyed. He thought his cousin would give him a scolding, but didn’t expect this result.
"Ning Family should have such persistence in not giving up. What you said is good; no matter human, god, demon, or ghost, nothing can change your feelings for her. Saying this shows you’ve grown up, you are a real man, and I’m proud of you," Ning Luoxi praised affirmatively.
Ning Wenbin was stunned, then genuinely smiled with joy, as if his cousin’s acknowledgment was something to be proud of.
The two weren’t far apart in age, but in his heart, his cousin was like a War God. Her acknowledgment made him prouder than even his parents’ praise.
However, Ning Luoxi’s next words instantly made his expression collapse.
"Cousin, don’t worry, I’ll train you more rigorously, so your skills can keep up with Wu Xiuluo," Ning Luoxi said even more firmly.
"Oh...God, just kill me," Ning Wenbin wailed to the sky, but Lin Tian and the others laughed gleefully.
Ning Luoxi ignored her cousin’s wailing and said to Lin Tian, "From what you’ve described, this Wu Xiuluo seems an extraordinary person, I have to meet her."
"Agreeing to meet is good, maybe she does have the skills to solve your problem," Lin Tian was also glad because if Ning Luoxi didn’t agree to go, he couldn’t just forcibly take this female instructor away.
Not to mention whether General Ning Weiguo would explode, at least kidnapping a special forces female instructor is no small crime.
