Chapter 86

I was afraid something might happen to Lin Feiyu, and I really didn't know what to do if it did. After all, I was the one who suggested burning Zhou Xuan's body.

We immediately ran outside. To our shock, Lin Feiyu was running back!

"Hey! Little Lin! Don't scare us like that! What are you howling for! It's not fun at all! You scared me to death, you know!" Senior Brother Hai was both angry and happy.

Lin Feiyu was actually fine, but his face didn't look good.

"What happened, Old Lin?" I asked him.

"How should I know! I just lit the body, and suddenly a madman ran out from the bushes, grabbed the body, and ran away. I was scared to death! How could I not scream!" Lin Feiyu hurriedly explained.

"Oh, but you didn't have to scream so terribly, do you know how scared we old guys are now?" Liu Fangyuan said angrily, patting his chest and breathing heavily. "I can't take it anymore, let's all go into the village quickly!"

"Did you hear that! Lin Feiyu! What's wrong with you!" Senior Brother Hai scolded, but his face was actually smiling.

"I know! Senior Brother Hai, why are you so angry!" Lin Feiyu was also a bit angry. He just screamed, did he deserve to be scolded? No one was as worried as he was when the body was taken.

Tears welled up in my eyes. It had been a tough couple of days, and the old guys were now on edge, afraid of encountering a blood corpse or something powerful brought by the necromancer. If anything happened to one of them, Senior Brother Hai would feel very guilty.

"Junior Brother, why are you crying! Instead of crying, you should learn more! At the Four Small Immortal Temples, nothing will happen! Sleep well tonight. Damn it, no dog will dare to come!" Senior Brother Hai was full of spirit, slapping the back of my neck, which scared my tears back.

Lin Feiyu patted my shoulder. "It's nothing. We're all old, and maybe we're meant to experience everything you bring. It's exciting, you know. I've never encountered a blood corpse in my life, but I did tonight!"

"Old Lin, didn't you just nail the body? You didn't see a blood corpse, did you?" I said sarcastically.

"You brat, don't be ungrateful! If it weren't for me, you would have been in trouble!" Lin Feiyu looked at me angrily.

"Alright, Xia. We haven't had such a thrilling battle in a long time. We're almost seventy, but it's worth it. Don't worry so much. My ancestral array is powerful. Otherwise, that blood corpse wouldn't have come here," Liu Fangyuan comforted me.

"No, Liu Fangyuan, I clearly saw it wasn't a blood corpse. Your array isn't that powerful, is it?" Lin Feiyu frowned, but Liu Fangyuan pushed him away.

"Senior Brother, Old Lin, Old Liu, I was born with a weak destiny and was raised by my grandmother. She was put in a blood cloud coffin, and I can't let this grudge go. Even if I don't avenge her, my enemies will take my life. I'm worthless, but I didn't expect to drag you all into this..."

"What nonsense! This is not just your problem, but also the problem of our Xuanmen cultivators. Don't worry, I, Lin Feiyu, will help you even if it costs my life," Lin Feiyu said firmly.

I nodded. These old guys were really passionate. If they were younger, we could have been brothers.

"Brother Tian, you'll be fine. I'll support you, even though I don't have much ability," Zhao Qian comforted me. In the night, the girl looked beautiful in her dress and black stockings, her legs smooth, and her voice soft, like a whisper.

"Alright, Little Lin, forget about the body. It might have been taken by the necromancer. Quickly help Little Liu sprinkle the anti-corpse powder. We need to sleep well tonight. Junior Brother, release your ghost generals tonight. Treat the injured ones and let them guard the night," Senior Brother Hai assigned the tasks.

"Alright, no problem," I was about to treat Xijun and the others.

"Oh, we can sleep tonight? I thought we had to stay up. Having ghost generals is really convenient!" Lin Feiyu laughed happily.

"Ghost generals can absorb yin energy at night, which is good for them. We're all old and can't stay up. Now, except for you, Little Lin, everyone is injured. Look at my junior brother, he's already weak. He can only treat a few ghost generals, nothing else. What more do you want? It's really convenient," Senior Brother Hai said, waving his hand and preparing to enter one of the three guest rooms.

Zhao Qian and I looked at each other, then at the main house. It was for ancestor worship and couldn't be used. It had statues and a kitchen, but no beds.

"Old Liu, where will Zhao Qian stay?" I asked casually.

"Oh, you two will stay in the guest room opposite us. Two young people should have a lot to talk about. We old guys will stay together and can study some spells. There are only three single beds on that side, and two double beds on your side. Do I need to explain more?" Liu Fangyuan said.

After that, Liu Fangyuan pulled Lin Feiyu, and they took a bag of anti-corpse powder from the car and went to sprinkle it around the village.

The powder cost 200,000 yuan for two pounds, and I was speechless. I didn't dare to interfere and turned to Zhao Qian, whose face was flushed.

I was nervous. Was Zhao Qian thinking something? We had slept together before, in the same villa. There was a peach blossom calamity then, but now there wasn't. What was there to be afraid of?

"Let's go to the room and see what's there," I frowned and went to check the guest room. Since Old Liu didn't mind us staying together, he must have a reason, and Senior Brother didn't say anything either.

Zhao Qian took a deep breath and followed me.

When we got to the room, we were stunned. There were two double beds almost touching each other. Seeing this, I quickly ran to the opposite room to ask Senior Brother what was going on, but he was already lying down. There were three single beds on his side, and the three old guys were squeezed together.

Senior Brother Hai was too tired today, so I didn't dare to wake him and returned dejectedly.

The room design was as simple as a temple, with no extra furniture. If there was anything, it was the beds.

It seemed that Zhao Qian and I had to sleep together tonight.

"This..." I blushed and looked down, but saw Zhao Qian's shiny stockings, and my mouth went dry. This was a sudden stroke of luck, but it wasn't the right time to think about that.

"Brother Tian, it's fine. After all... Dad said you have to protect me closely. If you go somewhere else, it won't work, right? The beds are big, and they're not that close. I'm tired and will fall asleep quickly. You don't have to worry about me," Zhao Qian said, her face red.

Not close? They were almost touching! I couldn't believe it myself, but in this dangerous time, I had no choice.

"Alright, it's late. It's almost three in the morning. Go to sleep early. I'll release the ghost generals to guard the night," I said calmly, but my heart was pounding.

Zhao Qian's luggage was ready. She took some clothes and went into the shower room. The old-style shower room had no door, just an old hemp cloth for privacy. If there was a breeze, the person showering might be seen.

But you can't stop a girl from showering, so Zhao Qian awkwardly turned on the light and went in.

I suppressed my desires, ran out of the room, and called out Xijun, Song Wanyi, and the black-furred hound. I started to heal their injuries with blood.

Xijun and Song Wanyi were fine; a drop of essence blood was enough to heal them to their limits, as the essence blood of the Dao tradition was very pure.

I didn't directly heal the black-furred hound but let it choose some ashes and put them in Song Wanyi's soul jar. Then I performed a ritual to transfer its vengeful spirit to Song Wanyi.

The black-furred hound was very obedient, which saved me a lot of trouble. After everything was done, I used only one drop of essence blood to heal its battered body.

By the time I finished, Lin Feiyu and Liu Fangyuan had finished sprinkling the anti-corpse powder. Seeing my ghost generals fully recovered, they were very happy, gave a few instructions, and went to sleep.

I checked the time; it was around four in the morning. I assigned Xijun, Song Wanyi, and the black-furred hound to guard different directions.

As they left, I thought Zhao Qian should have finished showering, so I prepared to go back to the room. At that moment, raindrops started to fall on my face.

It was raining, drizzling, and the surrounding forest was dark and indistinct.

I looked at the room. The light in the shower room was off, so I stood up.

Suddenly, Zhao Qian appeared at the door, half her body showing. "Brother Tian, I'm done. Come to sleep. It's four."

When I saw Zhao Qian, I felt a bit uncomfortable. She was wearing a dark sleep dress, thick, but the low-cut top revealed her white chest, which was very tempting, almost making me drool.

But when I turned around, dark figures appeared in front of me. It couldn't be my eyes playing tricks on me in the middle of the night.

I wiped the rain from my face and focused. I thought I was seeing things, but when I opened my yin-yang eyes, my face turned green. They were a group of dirty things!

There were so many, countless, of all ages, surrounding the village in a circle about ten meters wide, all looking at me.

"Are you kidding me... This is possible?" I felt a chill and my body started to shake.
