CHAPTER 957: CHAPTER 954: LEAD THE WAY

Lin Tian pretended to be in pain and gasped, "Senior Sister, if you step on it again, my foot will break. If it does, you’ll have to take care of me for the rest of my life."

"Hmph, breaking it would be good, so you can’t go out and harm girls." Zi Yan snorted, but she still moved her foot away.

Lin Tian shamelessly chuckled, "I wouldn’t do that, I don’t harm just anyone."

"Stop talking!" Zi Yan glared at him fiercely.

Lin Tian found it amusing, as the Senior Sister was usually charming and elegant, but when she’s angry, she has a special petite woman’s flavor.

"Uh, let’s go check on Miss Zhao." Lin Tian didn’t continue teasing and changed the subject. Zi Yan gave him a look before turning to walk into the bedroom.

Although Zi Yan appeared nonchalant, Lin Tian noticed that when she turned around, her earlobes were red, obviously affected by Lin Tian’s ’artificial respiration,’ not as calm as she seemed on the surface.

The bedroom light turned on, Zhao Ya was still innocently asleep in bed, unaware of what had just happened. The plant on the table had mutated, taking on the appearance of the Yin Yang Life Fruit, but unfortunately, it had not borne any fruit.

"Junior Brother, is Zhao Ya okay?" Zi Yan asked with concern.

"She’s fine, just a little weak. That witchcraft practitioner used her as nourishment for the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass. They won’t kill her before the fruit is born. But to recover to her original state, she’ll need some time. You’re good with wellness plans, so you can help her with a recovery plan afterward." Lin Tian explained.

Hearing that Zhao Ya was just weak, Zi Yan sighed in relief. Customers like Zhao Ya often visited the store and interacted with them, considered friends in a way, so she felt much better knowing her friend was alright.

With Zhao Ya fine, Zi Yan’s attention shifted to the potted plant on the table. She asked curiously, "Is this the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass you mentioned?"

"Yes, it grows specifically among heaps of the dead." Lin Tian replied truthfully.

His words made the two women step back a few paces. Although they had heard Lin Tian mention this before, actually seeing it was still hard to accept, a plant that grows specifically among the dead was terrifying to even think about.

Lin Tian smiled and reassured them, "You don’t need to worry, this Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass wasn’t grown in a pile of the dead. Zhao Ya said it was a seed when she planted it, so it must have been accelerated by witchcraft, not that pure Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass."

"Even if it’s not, just hearing about it is too scary." Kikuchi Mika said, still frightened.

"Meijia, you’ve seen corpses at the shrine, how can you be afraid of just a plant?" Lin Tian shook his head and laughed.

"That’s different. Before I met Brother Lin, my world was gray, and my future was dark. I was numb, so it didn’t matter. But now it’s different, my world has become colorful, and I no longer want to face those dreadful things." Kikuchi Mika said sincerely.

Lin Tian patted her head and consoled, "Don’t worry, with Senior Sister Zi Yan and me around, your world won’t be gray again."

"Mm, thank you, Brother Lin, thank you, Sister Zi Yan." Kikuchi Mika said happily.

"Junior Brother Lin, is this Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass still useful?" Zi Yan asked.

Lin Tian shook his head, then nodded, and said regretfully, "It is useful, but it would take a long time to bear the Yin Yang Life Fruit, maybe ten or several decades, so it’s useless to us. The old man can’t wait that long."

"But it’s still very rare, destroying it would be a pity. There might not be another one in this world. Why not give it to me, I can keep it as a potted plant." Zi Yan said regretfully.

"I don’t mind, but the potted plant isn’t mine, you’ll have to ask Zhao Ya. But I guess she wouldn’t want to touch this potted plant again, she’d be happy if you took it away." Lin Tian said indifferently.

"Just take it, everything’s resolved. Junior Brother, are you going up to Shen Anni’s place to stay for the night?" Zi Yan asked with a teasing smile.

Remembering Shen Anni, with her big assets and flirtatious nature, Lin Tian quickly shook his head. These days, there are male wolves, female wolves aren’t surprising either, but Shen Anni isn’t his type.

"Alright then, Meijia and I won’t go up either, we’ll just stay here for the night. Anyway, we’ll leave when the sun rises." Zi Yan said, amused by Lin Tian’s reaction.

"Okay, I’ll be in the next room, feel free." Lin Tian left Zhao Ya’s room and stayed in the next one.

After all the fuss with the glowing orb, it was already late at night. Lin Tian didn’t sleep for a few hours before the sky had brightened.

Lin Tian came out to the living room to find Zi Yan and Kikuchi Mika already awake, sitting on the sofa. Zhao Ya was sitting beside them, still looking a bit tired but in much better spirits than yesterday.

"Miss Zhao, how are you feeling?" Lin Tian casually asked.

"I feel much better than before. Zi Yan told me everything from last night. Thank you, Mr. Lin, I don’t know how to thank you for saving my life." Zhao Ya said sincerely.

"Zhao Ya, he’s a big pervert, if you offer yourself, he’d definitely be pleased." Zi Yan joked, making Zhao Ya blush and lower her head shyly.

Lin Tian glared at Zi Yan, utterly defeated by such a Senior Sister. It seemed she was still thinking about the ’artificial respiration’ from yesterday.

"Uh, right, I wanted to ask Miss Zhao a favor to repay me, would that be okay?" Lin Tian changed the subject.

Zhao Ya lifted her head and nodded, "Of course, you’re my savior, I’d agree to anything you ask."

"It’s nothing much, I just wanted to know where the Spiritual Cultivation Class you attended is, I’d like to see it for myself." Lin Tian said casually.

"Mr. Lin wants to go? Why, it’s because of joining that class that I got into this mess, going there would be dangerous." Zhao Ya said, very confused.

Lin Tian waved his hand, "Miss Zhao, no need to worry, I’m just going to take a look, I won’t bring anything back, it’s fine."

Zhao Ya looked at Zi Yan, hesitating whether to tell Lin Tian. He was her savior, she felt telling him would be putting her savior at risk.

"Zhao Ya, just tell Lin Tian, I know him well, he won’t act recklessly without assurance." Zi Yan also persuaded.

"Zi Yan, why are you two going there?" Zhao Ya asked curiously.

"I can’t tell you for now, just give me the address." Lin Tian said.

Zhao Ya thought for a while and said, "Alright, but that place is a bit remote, I’ll take you there."

"That sounds great, but you just started recovering, rest for a couple of days, and when you’re feeling better, I’ll come to get you. Does that sound okay?" Lin Tian asked.
