Lin Tian scanned through again, still failing to find any problem, while Zhang Lingyu leaned against the sofa, her body slightly tilted backward. Now, not only was her face flushed, but her breathing also became a bit rapid, with her ample chest heaving up and down before Lin Tian's eyes.

However, he didn't have time to think much, he walked to her again and said with a frown: "Let me give you a massage, maybe it'll help a bit."

"No, don't come over." Zhang Lingyu quickly moved to the other end of the sofa, her eyes flickering between confusion and clarity, seeming as if she couldn't hold on any longer.

Damn, I haven't done anything, why am I being treated like a pervert? Lin Tian was frustrated, and he frowned again asking: "Lingyu, what is going on?"

Zhang Lingyu took a deep breath and said: "Charlotte is despicable; she put Reunion Powder in the food. This drug is incredibly potent, and I can't use my mana, there's no way to deal with it, I…"

At the end, Zhang Lingyu couldn't continue, as she knew she would completely lose control soon.

Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately. But then he quickly realized from the name of the drug, Reunion Powder, damn it, this name sounds sleazy. Without thinking, it's definitely used for foul purposes.

"Then why am I not having a reaction?" Lin Tian touched his forehead, puzzled, since he ate even more than Zhang Lingyu.

"You're a zombie, a little powder like that won't affect you. Even the dose meant for an elephant might not work on you." Zhang Lingyu rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, feeling speechless.

However, that eye-roll made Lin Tian's heart skip a beat. Her eyes, usually as clear as a deep pool, were now brimming with moisture, deeply enchanting, completely different from the usual Zhang Lingyu.

Damn it, when the beautiful Sky Master becomes enchanting, it can take a man's life, Lin Tian thought, swallowing hard. No doubt, this powder is potent enough to turn even a Heavenly Master who doesn't blink when slaying demons into this state.

"Is there an antidote to this? How can I help you?" Lin Tian asked. Though knowledgeable in medicine, this drug was always just a legend, he never thought it truly existed.

Right after speaking he regretted it, because what can be done to help after ingesting such a drug? Only that. Asking like this, Zhang Lingyu would surely call him a rogue, a bastard.

Sure enough, Zhang Lingyu glared at Lin Tian angrily, suppressing the strange feelings in her body, and scolded: "You bastard, I… I don't need your help, hurry up and get out, get out now!"

"Alright, calm down, or it will act faster. I'm leaving now." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, as this was no time to argue with her.

Lin Tian straightforwardly turned and walked outwards, and Zhang Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, yet a feeling of loss inexplicably arose in her heart.

She lay diagonally on the sofa, panting lightly, when she suddenly noticed Lin Tian turning back. She thought Lin Tian was deliberately not leaving, and angrily said: "Why are you coming back?"

Lin Tian said innocently: "The door is locked, I can't get out. Moreover, this underground space seems to be protected by a barrier; neither walls nor doors can be broken. I can't leave."

Zhang Lingyu's gaze was momentarily dazed. Regaining focus, she finally said: "This is Charlotte's trap. If I have… relations with you and the family finds out, I will definitely be expelled, no, likely be completely shut out and even if miraculously alive, I'll lose any standing in the Huaxia Demon Exorcism World, maybe even becoming a target for other exorcists. She wants to use this leverage to blackmail us."

Lin Tian fell silent because he knew their identities: one a zombie, one a Demon Exorcist— they couldn't be together, couldn't fall in love, let alone have a relationship.

In Huaxia, when family or sect members break taboos, there's only one consequence — being shut out. This practice of shutting out has carried on from ancient times to now, like how the Yun Family crippled and expelled Mo Mingda—even special forces have the concept of shutting out.

Looking at the gradually bewildered Zhang Lingyu, Lin Tian surprisingly did not have any illicit thoughts, nor did he take advantage of the situation.

He admitted that he wasn't Liu Xiahui, had little resistance against beauty, and with a bountiful, beautiful woman before him, he had the thoughts and reactions any man would, wanting to take a few more glances.

However, his heart clung to his pride, or stubbornness, perhaps. If it wasn't voluntary, he wouldn't do it to save his life. The more pushed, the more he'd do the opposite.

Zi Yan saw through him clearly, saying that when he's stubborn, not even ten oxen could drag him back.

Facing the camera, Lin Tian's expression was chilling but his tone calm: "Charlotte, you win. Bring the antidote; I'll agree to help you make the medicine."

Those who knew him understood, the calmer he was, the more turbulent his inner emotions. Once that calm breaks, it's a stormy tempest.

The room was quiet, save for Zhang Lingyu's increasingly heavy breathing, and after a dozen seconds, Charlotte's voice rang out in the room: "Lin Tian, Lin Tian, for someone as proud as you to bow to me, really surprises me. It seems the Zhang Family girl holds an invaluable place in your heart."

Gazing at Lin Tian's profile, warmth swelled in Zhang Lingyu's heart. This proud man, when had he ever bowed to an enemy before? Yet now… forget it. Meeting him may be destiny or karma from a past life. Her internal resistance was slowly fading.

Lin Tian still looked at the camera, speaking in a low voice: "Cut the nonsense, give me the antidote or not."

"Lin Tian, it's too late to agree now. This drug has no antidote, or rather, its antidote is a man, meaning, you are the antidote for the Zhang Family girl. Besides, even if there were an antidote, I wouldn't give it to you; I always ensure my actions have a hundred percent success rate."

"On another note, you should thank me, hehe, enjoy. The Zhang Family girl, naturally beautiful, in Huaxia's ancient times, she'd be a world-renowned beauty capable of making a king forsake morning court." Charlotte laughed, and her unrestrained laughter echoed in the room.

Lin Tian's gaze was as icy as if it could freeze everything. Even through the camera, Charlotte seemed to feel the cold creeping up.

"Char-lotte!" Lin Tian gritted out, her name seeping through his teeth, "Roar…" A thunderous roar erupted as Lin Tian roared to the sky.

His eyes quickly turned bright yellow, zombie teeth instantly sprouting, with a purple flame mark emerging at his brow, reflecting the burning rage inside.

At this moment, his expression was grotesquely fierce, even maniacal, seeming as if to tear everything apart, an aggressive aura bursting forth; the glass on the table shattered instantly, and books were swept up, shredded into pieces.

"Destroy… destroy…" Lin Tian muttered in a deep voice, clenching his fists as purple flames ignited fiercely.
