Uncle Nine, where are you running to?

There was a sudden loud bang and a flash of lightning. Jingzhi immediately climbed up from the seat, twisted around, and crawled into Lin Jiu's arms.

"Fear?"

Jingzhi nodded honestly, "I'm afraid of thunder."

The main reason was that she was afraid of being struck by lightning on the head.

Lin Jiu tilted his head, placed his arms forward on the table, and held Jingzhixu in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jingzhi nodded obediently. A tail stretched out from behind her and swung flexibly, dragging the cloth bag that Lin Jiu had placed on the ground over.

Then, she opened the cloth bag and placed the blank yellow talismans, cinnabar, brushes and other items neatly in front of Lin Jiu.

"You paint, I won't disturb you."

Lin Jiu nodded, stretched out his hand to pick up the pen, dipped the tip of the pen in the cinnabar, and after the tip of the pen was covered with bright red cinnabar, he began to concentrate on drawing the talisman to dispel evil spirits.

At this moment, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, and the originally calm weather suddenly became gloomy.

Immediately afterwards, several dazzling flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by bursts of dull thunder, and bean-sized raindrops poured down from the clouds like beads with broken strings.

At first, the raindrops hitting the roof only made crackling sounds, but after just a few seconds, the rain suddenly increased in intensity, and the crackling sound suddenly turned into a loud "swish" sound.

At this moment, except for the deafening thunder that came from time to time, the whole world seemed to be drowned by the sound of the torrential rain.

After listening to the continuous sound of rain for a long time, people actually feel as if they are surrounded by white noise.

Jingzhi couldn't help but slowly relax her tense body, her head tilted back slightly, her eyes slightly closed.

"It's great. Jiu is holding me. I'm not afraid anymore."

The hand drawing the talisman paused for a moment, and suddenly his low laughter came to his ears.

He asked, "Am I the Heart-Setting Pill?"

She replied: "That's right."

Jingzhi half-closed her eyes, feeling a little drowsy. Her cochlea seemed to be tickled by his low and gentle voice, and she couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

The pen in Lin Jiu's hand was like a nimble dragon, painting continuously.

After finishing the last picture, he gently put down his brush, then slowly turned his head, his eyes like two sharp arrows, tightly locked on the heavy rain.

Not far away, there were a few tents standing alone in the wind and rain.

At this time, a warm orange light had lit up inside the tent. However, the tarpaulin outside the tent had already been soaked by the rain, and it looked like a group of fireflies trapped in the heavy rain.

Lin Jiu stared at the puddle of rainwater that was accumulating on the roof of the tent and kept growing larger and larger. He was unconsciously lost in thought.

Jingzhi, who was standing by, saw this and asked softly, "Are you worried? Why don't we go over and take a look?"

As she said this, she was about to turn around and go to Taoist Simu to borrow an umbrella.

At this moment, Lin Jiu suddenly called out, "Junior Brother."

He only said two words, and then nothing else happened.

Jing was stunned for a moment and uttered a questioning "Hmm?"

Lin Jiu looked at the table full of yellow talismans and calmed down.

Then he stretched out his hands and slightly bent her shoulders towards him. He looked into her eyes and smiled bitterly, "From now on, you can call him Junior Brother like me. Qianhe should do the same. Just call him Junior Brother."

Jingzhi was dazed by his laughter. She couldn't help but touch the corners of his slightly upturned mouth and laughed along with him.

"Okay, I'll call you Junior Brother from now on. Do you want to go out and take a look?"

Lin Jiu: "No, he's already a master. He will handle things on his own. If there is an emergency, he will come to us."

Jingzhi nodded and said with some emotion:

"I've seen you smile several times these past two days. Before, when we were together for so long, you always had a sullen face. You looked so grim."

Lin Jiu reached out and gently pinched her slender wrist, but did not take her hand away. Instead, he gently stroked it, "Really?"

Sometimes, he smiled without realizing it.

When he was next to her, he would relax involuntarily, and the corners of his mouth would involuntarily rise as if pulled by an invisible thread.

Jingzhi nodded heavily. Her eyes, which had just been a little blurry from sleepiness, lit up when she saw his smile.

She said seriously:

"You look beautiful when you smile. Smile more. I love to see you."

The upward curve of Lin Jiu's mouth became more and more obvious, and a smile quietly climbed up his eyebrows.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently held her face, saying softly:

"You should smile more often. Before, when you looked at me coldly, it made me feel uncomfortable."

Jingzhi couldn't help but snort when she heard that, then turned around without hesitation and moved her whole body onto his legs.

In this way, the two of them sat face to face.

She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly, hanging on him like a koala, and muttered:

"Who told you to worry about other women? I'm jealous. I'll be jealous if I like you."

Lin Jiu choked. Sometimes she was even more straightforward than Zhe Gu.

But Lin Jiu benefited a lot from it.

His ears have automatically blocked out other words, and only the word "like" remains in his mind. He is gradually falling in love.

Lin Jiu took her into his arms and patted her back gently with satisfaction.

However, there was one thing he knew that if he didn't mention it now, it might affect their relationship later.

After thinking for more than a minute, he stammered, "If I'm unhappy in the future..." He paused for several seconds before whispering, "...can I not go drink with Zhongyao?"

There was silence, and the air was momentarily still.

Suddenly, Lin Jiu felt a pain in his chest.

She pinched me.

"I didn't ask him to drink. He went there to pack food and met me."

She suddenly raised her head, put her hands on his shoulders and pushed him away a little, saying with some displeasure:

"Am I someone who is so easily moved by your feelings?"

"...No! That's not what I meant!"

Jingzhi narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"

Her staring eyes made Lin Jiu's heart tremble. He turned his face away and whispered:

"I...would be jealous too."

The next moment, his face was suddenly turned back by a warm hand, and his eyes met her joyful gaze.

"Ajiu, being jealous means... you like me!!"

The thunder outside gradually faded away, as if swallowed by the thick clouds, but the thunder in Lin Jiu's heart became more and more intense.

His eyes were like burning flames, staring intently at Jingzhi's eyes. When he caught sight of the undisguised deep affection in her eyes, Lin Jiu felt as if his heartstrings were suddenly plucked by an invisible big hand.

Her body slowly leaned forward uncontrollably, gently pressing her petite body against the table behind her.

The two of them were so close that they could clearly feel each other's warm breath gently brushing against their faces, bringing an unbearable tingling sensation.

"Jingzhi, I can..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiu felt a little embarrassed.

Asking for a kiss made him, a usually calm and reserved man, blush.

However, even though he was unable to finish his words, how could the clever Jingzhi not understand his intentions?

She smiled slightly, and the thumb that was originally resting on Lin Jiu's cheek moved down gently, and with a bit of playfulness, gently stroked the thick beard on his upper lip.

Feeling the slight tingling sensation from her fingertips and Lin Jiu's increasingly rapid breathing, Jingzhi's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

At this moment, Lin Jiu's throat slid up and down unconsciously, as if he wanted to swallow the tension.

Jingzhi was keenly aware of his changes, especially when she clearly felt the increasingly hot temperature from Lin Jiu's palm on her lower back. She felt as if her whole body was ignited and began to heat up gradually.

Her slightly moist thumb did not stop moving, but continued to move slowly down, finally pressing lightly on Lin Jiu's soft lower lip.

The carefully trimmed, arc-shaped nails scratched across his tightly closed lips, leaving a tiny mark.

Her eyes, which were originally as clear as water, became deep at this moment. Her thin eyebrows were slightly raised, and her eyes were full of seduction.

"...Finally, you're willing to kiss me?"

Lin Jiu did not answer, but swallowed unconsciously again, making a slight sound in his throat.

He imitated her and raised his hand to gently stroke her lips, but he didn't dare to scratch her lips with his nails like she did. After all, although his nails were neatly trimmed, they were still a little long.

Lin Jiu was extremely gentlemanly and asked again in a low voice:

"May I?"

Jingzhi knew that he was extremely shy, so she didn't tease him anymore. She just slowly closed her charming eyes, slightly raised her white chin, and made a silent invitation.

Even before the kiss, Lin Jiu felt a little satisfied.

She was willing to let him get close - this thought came to his mind, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little light.

Looking at those lips that looked like delicate petals, Lin Jiu's gaze gradually became hot, and he couldn't help but slowly move closer to the person in front of him.

……

However, Lin Jiu, whose mind was completely captivated by Jingzhi, did not notice anything unusual outside the window.

The dark clouds that should have gradually dissipated suddenly gathered together again as if they were being kneaded by a huge hand.

They were strangely suspended in the air, right above the coffin and tent.

Suddenly, a deafening "crack" sound rang out, and then a dazzling lightning bolt shaped like a spirit snake broke through the darkness, suddenly jumped out from the thick clouds, and struck the tent below with lightning speed.

When the light faded a little, the dark clouds disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the tent on the ground from which thick smoke began to billow.

Inside the tent.

The follower lying next to the coffin didn't even have time to scream before he was hit by the powerful electric current and turned into a charred corpse as black as charcoal.

Another attendant stared with horror at the broken coffin and the "prince" who slowly stood up from the coffin.

Extreme fear made him tremble all over. For a moment, he was so panicked that he couldn't even take a step to escape.

The next second, a stream of blood sprayed onto the tent cloth in a parabola. The follower covered his neck, which was open and bleeding. He made a few "gurgling" sounds in his throat and then died.

However, before his body fell to the ground, the zombie grabbed it and bit its bloody neck...

The rain gradually stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, revealing a full moon that emitted an eerie red light.

……

At this moment, Lin Jiu in the room really wanted to curse.

He pressed his head against Jingzhi's, his eyes almost blazing with anger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

"Ajiu, don't be angry, I smell something burning!"

Jingzhi looked at the burning tent not far from the window and felt a little scared. The lightning just now almost blinded her eyes.

She pushed Lin Jiu's stiff shoulders and said, "Let's go and take a look together."

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and calmed down his extremely unhappy mood for a few seconds before picking up the talisman paper on the table and pulling her up.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Simu rushing out with a bronze sword.

When Simu saw Lin Jiu, his mind was at peace, but his expression was still not relaxed.

Corpse transformation, bronze coffin, lightning strike, and the red moon!

When this zombie is born, its strength is going to be incredible, right?!

Simu had a premonition that he was about to face the biggest challenge in his life.

He threw the bronze sword in his hand towards Lin Jiu, who took it, but saw his fellow apprentice turn around and go back into the room.

"Junior brother, why don't you leave?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Simu ran out of the room holding a large bronze sword that was almost taller than Jingzhi.

"..."

"..."

Simu stiffened his neck and said confidently, "What are you looking at? Let's go!"
