Lin Tian knew this news would be shocking for a Demon Exorcist, but he added fuel to the fire: "Actually, you've probably met Nu Ba before."

"Met before?" Zhang Lingyu was stunned, frowning as he thought.

"Zhonghai City, Fanyin Temple." Lin Tian gave a hint.

Zhang Lingyu's eyes lit up with surprise: "That girl is actually Nu Ba."

"Yes, maybe you think zombies are demons, all very evil, and are targets to be eliminated. The Zombie Ancestor is even more heinous, but I can tell you, I'm the first person bitten by Nu Ba. She's purer than most humans. Moreover, she saved my life; if not for her, I would already be dead." Lin Tian said leisurely, the image of the fairy-like girl in green appearing in his mind again.

Zhang Lingyu looked at the slightly melancholic, slightly tender Lin Tian and softly said: "Can you tell me what happened?"

Lin Tian sighed and said: "There's nothing much to say. Back then, Qi Jing broke up with me and went for the second-generation rich, Sun Decai. Sun Decai not only flaunted his power over me but also got a group to beat me up. At that time, my mind and body were under extreme stress, triggering an old ailment, and I was on the brink of death."

He didn't mention the Taiyin Xuan Qi, only glossed over it: "I thought I would die just like that, but Nu Ba descended from the heavens like a fairy, she bit me, turning me into a zombie, and I survived because of it. Can you feel the despair of being severely hit and then on the verge of death? You can't."

For the first time, Lin Tian revealed his biggest secret, and it was to a sworn enemy of zombies, a Demon Exorcist. After saying it, he felt a sense of relief; maybe even a powerful zombie hopes someone can share their secret.

Zhang Lingyu was silent for a long time before speaking: "Why don't you need to drink human blood?"

"Before Nu Ba left, she gave me a piece of animal hide with a cultivation technique on it. As long as I cultivate according to it, I won't need to drink human blood to enhance my strength." Lin Tian said without hesitation.

"I see, a few months ago, Lu County uncovered a complete ancient corpse. If I'm not mistaken, it's because of that earthquake that Nu Ba was reborn, right?" Zhang Lingyu said earnestly.

"That's correct, the archaeological team overturned halfway, losing the ancient corpse, but I guess Nu Ba woke up halfway and ran off by herself." Lin Tian speculated.

"Sigh, with Nu Ba's rebirth, even if my ancestor resurrects, he may not be able to subdue her." Zhang Lingyu sighed.

"You can rest assured, Nu Ba will not murder innocents indiscriminately. As long as the Demon Exorcists don't provoke her, she won't harm any innocent." Lin Tian said confidently, based on an intuition that the amnesiac Nu Ba was as innocent as a girl without worldly experience.

Zhang Lingyu blinked, looking at Lin Tian's confident expression, and said: "I hope so, at least the zombie in front of me won't murder the innocent."

"Nonsense, I'm not crazy, why would I kill innocents?" Lin Tian said, matter-of-factly.

Lin Tian stepped forward, sat on the sofa, and asked: "How did Charlotte capture you?"

"The day we parted, I didn't expect Charlotte to return and capture me while I was injured." Zhang Lingyu said.

Lin Tian felt a bit guilty: "If I hadn't injured you that day, you wouldn't have been captured. So, even if I knew there was an evil dragon here, I would still come to save you."

"What evil dragon? I'm not a damsel in distress, and you're not a dragon slayer. You came in of your own accord, don't blame me if you can't get out." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile, but still gave Lin Tian a sidelong glance.

The previously heavy atmosphere lightened up, both of them being optimistic people, having even ventured into the Netherworld, naturally wouldn't fear a barrier.

"Why can't you open this barrier if you can open the Netherworld passage?" Lin Tian thought of the smuggling to the Netherworld last time, that time opening the passage in Xiao Manxuan's room.

"They are two different concepts. Barriers are created to be absolutely isolated, but the boundary between the human world and the Netherworld is different, not completely isolated. Otherwise, how could the Soul Ferrymen come up to seize souls? As long as you use Daoist techniques to connect these naturally existing passages, you can go back and forth to the Netherworld."

"Of course, living people have to pay a price to go to the Netherworld: either being caught by Ghost Messengers or being invaded by the yin energy of the Netherworld, damaging yang energy, causing illness, or even shortening life." Zhang Lingyu explained in detail.

"Why are you okay?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

"I have the Heavenly Master's battle robe to protect me. Even without it, I have Daoist techniques, talismans, and the White Tiger Seal." Zhang Lingyu listed one by one, but by the end, her expression wasn't good. She sighed: "Now, apart from Daoist techniques and the battle robe, the talismans and White Tiger Seal have been taken by Charlotte."

"She took your Heavenly Master Magic Artifact?" Lin Tian exclaimed, looking around at the ceiling. Zhang Lingyu was puzzled by what he was doing, but Lin Tian found the surveillance camera, shouting at it: "Charlotte, you dare claim sincerity, while you took my friend's Magic Artifact, what sincerity is that?"

Lin Tian knew Charlotte was monitoring the room, so she would definitely hear.

Sure enough, Charlotte's voice immediately sounded in the room: "The Zhang family girl with the Magic Artifact is a dangerous person. I'm temporarily keeping it safe. Once you agree to cooperate with me, I'll return it to her, no talisman missing."

Zhang Lingyu looked at the camera above, then at Lin Tian, saying: "Lin Tian, don't waste your breath, even if she returns the Magic Artifact and talismans to me now, I can't use them."

Can't use them? Lin Tian was shocked, thinking Zhang Lingyu had been stripped of her mana by Charlotte. Zhang Lingyu seemed to read his thoughts, shaking her head: "It's not as you think. She tampered with the food, similar to an Ancient Martial Artist hit with Soft Bone Powder, temporarily unable to use Daoist techniques."

"You could just not eat…" Lin Tian blurted out, but knew it was wrong soon as he said it.

Naturally, Zhang Lingyu gave him a disdainful look: "You think I'm a zombie, not needing food or drink to survive? I'm an ordinary person, and missing one meal leaves me starving."

"Looks like you're a foodie too, wonder if you'll eat your man into poverty in the future." Lin Tian remarked helplessly.

"Humph, so what if I'm a foodie, it won't be your food in the future, what are you worried about?" Zhang Lingyu said confidently, humming.

"Were you two enemies in a past life? Still arguing when in distress, think about whether to agree to cooperate." Charlotte's voice interrupted, halting their bickering.

"Shut up!" The two shouted in unison at the camera, pausing for a moment afterward, this zombie and Heavenly Master seemed to have a tacit understanding too.
