Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1562 - 1559: Going Home

Lin Tian touched his brow and said very seriously, "Those little devils are indeed annoying, but they got one thing right. Unless you’re a god... Well, I am a god, no doubt about it."

This statement was so outrageously arrogant that even Xiao Manxue couldn’t help but look at him, and Xiao Manxuan pounded her little fists on Lin Tian’s chest a couple of times. "Stop talking nonsense. I’m being serious here."

"I’m serious too." Lin Tian showed an innocent face and continued solemnly, "I am a god, the god among men, or simply put, a ’male god.’"

"You’re fooling me again. Hmph, I’m ignoring you!" Xiao Manxuan gave Lin Tian a sideways glance, indicating that she was really angry, and the consequences could be serious.

As Lin Tian and the younger sister joked and played around, the three of them felt no barriers between them and got along very well. Xiao Manxue felt a sense of peace and warmth in her heart, a feeling that made her very comfortable, and she couldn’t help but think how nice it would be if life always stayed this way.

Unconsciously, her thoughts drifted to the future and certain things, and a blush crept onto her face for some reason.

"Miss, why is your face so red?" Lin Tian suddenly appeared beside her and whispered in her ear.

The slight breath from Lin Tian’s words lightly hit Xiao Manxue’s ear, and her body tingled as if electrified. By the time she came back to her senses, even her ears were red.

Xiao Manxue also gave Lin Tian a sideways glance and said coyly, "What does it have to do with you? Get the car out quickly; we need to get back to Xikou City before dark, or we’ll be camping outside."

Hmm, actually, I don’t mind camping outside, Lin Tian thought to himself, his mind wandering a little.

After retrieving the car from the parking lot, the three of them continued on their way. Of course, under Xiao Manxue’s supervision, Lin Tian’s hope of deliberately driving slowly to fulfill a certain wish was not likely to come true.

Besides, it was a highway all the way, open and smooth. It took less than three hours for Lin Tian’s car to slowly exit the highway toll station, and the three big characters on top of the toll station building read: Xikou City.

Back in Xikou City, a familiar place for Lin Tian, the car moved along the familiar roads and clean streets until it finally stopped in front of the Xiao Mansion.

"After being away for so long, I’m finally home." Looking at the familiar gate, the high walls, and the still lush trees, Lin Tian sighed slightly. Thinking back to how Xiao Manxuan gave him a hard time the first time he came to the Xiao Family.

This trip to the Ancient Martial World was as bizarre and complicated as the trip to England in some ways.

The Xiao sisters looked at her and smiled, "Since when did you consider this place your home?"

Lin Tian grinned, "Wherever Miss and the Second Miss are, that’s my home."

"Hmph, sweet talker, I’m not talking to you." The sisters snorted in unison, got out of the car, and ran, while Lin Tian parked and chased after them.

The sisters ran ahead holding hands like two dancing butterflies, and Lin Tian followed leisurely behind, savoring the rare beautiful sight.

Upon reaching the villa, they found the door slightly ajar. By the way, Lin Tian had smashed this door once, and although it had been replaced, the details never quite matched the traditional and elegant style of the entire villa.

Lin Tian had keen eyes and saw a young beautiful lady sitting in the hall. She had a stunning figure and wore simple, loose homewear, but even the loose clothes couldn’t hide the imposing peaks, especially as she lay there lazily, the compressed shape made Lin Tian’s eyes glaze over a little.

Sure enough, it was Mrs. Xiao, mature and charming, always irresistible at any moment. Lin Tian steadied his mind and looked away. The usually carefree Lin Tian always seemed a bit uneasy in the presence of Mrs. Xiao.

"Miss, it seems Chairman Xiao is back. Does she know about the Ancient Martial World?" Lin Tian asked a crucial question. Matters concerning the Ancient Martial World were not trivial, and most importantly, they involved the second miss’ treatment. Whether or not to inform Mrs. Xiao needed careful consideration.

"Mother doesn’t know what happened in the Ancient Martial World, so let’s not bring it up for now. As for Xuanxuan’s treatment, just say that the initial treatment is effective. We’ll discuss everything else later." Xiao Manxue was slightly taken aback, then whispered.

The commotion at the door caught Mrs. Xiao’s attention, and she promptly got up and walked out. Upon seeing Lin Tian and the others, a delighted smile spread across her face.

"Mom..." Xiao Manxuan called out and threw herself into Mrs. Xiao’s arms like a spoiled child. Xiao Manxuan was only eighteen, and at times, she was indeed just a little girl.

Xiao Manxue had outgrown the age of acting spoiled, and having been engaged in the business world for years, she was naturally more rational, but she couldn’t hide the joy on her face. The grievances suffered in the Ancient Martial World faded away at the sight of her loved ones. Home was a safe haven.

Mrs. Xiao’s gaze swept over them one by one, finally saying, "As long as you’re back, come in quickly, no need to stand outside."

Once seated, Mrs. Xiao’s eyes fell on Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, weren’t you helping a friend with something? How come you came back with Manxue?"

Lin Tian answered quickly without hesitation, "My friend is from abroad, and it just so happened that I was there for business in England. We bumped into each other at the airport. After finishing business abroad, we went to pick up the second miss and came back together."

Seeing how smoothly Lin Tian responded and how coherently his story matched, Xiao Manxue let out a small sigh of relief. Mrs. Xiao seemed not to suspect anything and continued to ask, "How is Xuanxuan’s condition?"

Mom, I’m right here in front of you, and I’m fine, aren’t I?" Xiao Manxuan tugged at Mrs. Xiao’s arm and said playfully.

"Stop fooling around, I’m asking Lin Tian." Mrs. Xiao replied seriously, and Xiao Manxuan pouted.

"The Second Miss doesn’t have major issues. As long as the treatment continues, she will fully recover." Lin Tian replied very calmly, with no ups and downs in his tone.

"Alright then, maybe I’m overthinking it. You all rest while I head to the kitchen to prepare dinner for you," Mrs. Xiao smiled assuredly, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The three of them collectively exhaled a sigh of relief, and then Xiao Manxuan commented to Lin Tian, "I’m really jealous of you. Before you came, my mom hadn’t cooked for many years, but since you came, she’s personally cooked several times."

"Ahem, I’m an honored guest, can’t be helped," Lin Tian replied seriously, his thick skin earning unanimous eye-rolls from the sisters.

Sounds of cooking wafted from the kitchen, pleasant to hear. Mrs. Xiao moved quickly, resembling not at all the head of a billion-dollar corporation, but rather a virtuous homemaker.

Before long, a sumptuous meal was ready. Lin Tian and the others were already hungry; the sisters remained somewhat reserved, while Lin Tian dug in heartily.

They chatted as they ate until darkness began to fall, and finally finished this meal. Lin Tian went back to his room, leaving the mother and daughters to continue their conversation.

After showering, night had completely fallen. Just as he was about to check the treasures stored in his cabinet, there was a knock at the door. Lin Tian thought it was the Miss, so he opened the door shirtless, only to be taken aback. Standing outside was Mrs. Xiao.
