Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1361: Kindred Spirits? Rivals?


"Who?" Lin Tian asked, his gaze sweeping towards the source of the voice. What surprised him was that in Charlotte's place, there was a foreigner who spoke Chinese so fluently, and from the tone, it was obvious they recognized the Qingyan Flower.

A woman emerged from the corner of the passage, another female vampire, with black hair and amber eyes, showing mixed-race features. From appearance alone, this female of the Blood Clan seemed about the same age as Mrs. Xiao, but her figure was not as good. To be fair, few women had a figure comparable to Mrs. Xiao's.

This woman had black hair, and Lin Tian wasn't sure if she was a mixed-blood Huaxia person—at least her Chinese was very good.

"Lady Musa," Ai Wei called respectfully.

Lady Musa ignored Ai Wei and looked at Lin Tian, but her hand pointed to another glass greenhouse, asking, "What is this?"

Lin Tian followed her direction and looked over. In that glass house, there was a strange "flower," the entire plant appeared leafless, only with flowers, looking quite attractive.

Both Ai Wei and Zhang Lingyu looked at the greenhouse too, but neither recognized what kind of flower was planted inside. They couldn't help but look at Lin Tian; such a strange flower would be hard to recognize without some knowledge or experience.

Lin Tian retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Seven-leaf violet."

"Oh, you actually recognize it," the female of the Blood Clan called Musa was surprised, looking at Lin Tian with great interest.

"Brother Tian, what kind of flower is the seven-leaf violet? Is it a type of violet?" Rossi asked curiously, which was also what Zhang Lingyu and Ai Wei wanted to ask.

Lin Tian shook his head slightly and said, "It's not the same, not only is it different, but the seven-leaf violet is not actually a flower."

"Not a flower? But it clearly looks like a purple flower," Rossi said, puzzled.

Lin Tian glanced at Musa, smiled slightly, and said, "The seven-leaf violet looks like a flower, but in reality, those are not petals but leaves."

"Leaves? No way, how could there be such strange leaves?" Even Zhang Lingyu couldn't help but ask.

"The leaves of the seven-leaf violet are very unique. They look like petals, and every seven leaves form a group, growing together. The shape that the seven leaves form resembles a violet flower, hence the name seven-leaf violet."

"This plant looks very beautiful, but it is highly toxic. The juice extracted from its fresh leaves is poisonous. When someone is poisoned by it, initially, there are no symptoms, but after seven days, it will take effect, and once it does, there is no cure," Lin Tian explained in detail.

The three of them, Zhang Lingyu, Ai Wei, and Rossi, suddenly understood but also felt very regretful that such a beautiful plant turned out to be so poisonous.

"Indeed, things in nature that are brightly colored often hide danger," Rossi lamented.

Lin Tian listened and waved his hand, smiling, "You're mistaken with that statement. The seven-leaf violet wasn't born naturally but was artificially cultivated through grafting and special cultivation techniques. So, the seven-leaf violet is a product of human intervention."

"Is the seven-leaf violet fatal to the Blood Clan?" Rossi asked again.

"Though not fatal, it can weaken the Blood Clan, so if you don't want to feel uncomfortable, don't touch it," Musa responded this time.

After speaking, she looked at Lin Tian again, intrigued, and said, "Usually people don't recognize the plants here. Let me guess, what are you, an alchemist? No, you're Huaxia, are you an Alchemy Master?"

"Neither, I'm a pharmacist," Lin Tian didn't bother to hide and simply said.

"Pharmacist?" Musa frowned slightly and then said, "Huaxia's pharmacist and Western alchemists have similarities in medicine concocting. However, Huaxia pharmacists have long been lost, and yet you are a pharmacist."

Ai Wei took two steps forward and reported to Musa, "Lady Musa, Lord Lin Tian was invited by the lord to come and help refine the Blood Angel."

"Refine the Blood Angel?" Musa was taken aback, then her face changed slightly, shaking her head, "The Blood Angel is too overwhelming, even the Blood Clan can't withstand it. I've advised the lord not to refine the Blood Angel again. Using such a potion that harms the enemy by a thousand but also damages ourselves by eight hundred is not a smart move."

Lin Tian inwardly felt a little surprised; judging by Musa's tone, she seemed to be an alchemist and held a not low position on the island, otherwise, she wouldn't dare speak so boldly. Alchemists, whether in the human world or the Blood Clan, are rare professions.

Ai Wei quickly explained, "Lady Musa, Lord Lin Tian was invited specifically to improve the Blood Angel. He can eliminate the side effects of the Blood Angel without affecting its efficacy."

"Impossible!" Musa immediately refuted upon hearing this, "The cause of the users losing their minds and exploding is due to an ingredient in the Blood Angel formula. This ingredient is exceedingly powerful. I've tried every possible way but couldn't neutralize its properties."

"Are you referring to the zombie blood, Lady Musa?" Lin Tian asked calmly.

"Oh? It seems you are well-studied in the Blood Angel," Musa was surprised once again.

I am a zombie, how could I not be knowledgeable? Lin Tian thought with some amusement.

Seeing Lin Tian remain silent, Musa continued, "Since you know the reason, you should be clear about how difficult zombie blood is to handle. I've heard a Huaxia legend that claims zombie blood is filled with grievance and resentment. A single drop of zombie blood can cause massive chaos. Do you think you can handle it?"

"Is there such a legend? But regardless, I can try," Lin Tian said very modestly, but to Musa, it seemed arrogant.

The atmosphere on site became a bit awkward for a moment. Ai Wei didn't know how to handle it; on one side was Lady Musa, and on the other was Lord Lin Tian. She didn't want to upset either, and moreover, she was also skeptical about Lin Tian's ability to improve the Blood Angel due to never witnessing Lin Tian's medicine-compounding skills.

"Looks like you already know each other without needing my introduction." A pleasant voice sounded, and the owner of the voice appeared—it was Charlotte, who had left midway.

"Lord!" The female Blood Clan member leading the way and Musa both saluted respectfully.

After the greeting, Musa immediately said, "Lord, I've heard that you want to refine the Blood Angel again, I believe this matter is not advisable..."

"No need to say more, I've already decided on this matter, and it cannot be changed. You only need to fully support Lin Tian," Charlotte said very domineeringly, without explaining the reason.

Lin Tian chuckled silently to himself, he liked Charlotte's style; her actions were clean and decisive; hesitating would only lead to failure.

"Master, you will probably need this." Charlotte put down the box she was holding and said.

Musa's expression became even more remarkable when she heard her lord actually call Lin Tian 'Master.'
