Just as An Lin was about to close the final sliver of distance between their lips, Xu Xiaolanâs beautiful features surfaced in his mind.
A thought forced its way into his head and refused to be dispelled.
No, I canât give my first kiss to a zombie!
An Lin stopped cold in his tracks.
He could still feel the sexy lips that were millimeters from his own and her cold breath panting on his face.
He could also see the confusion and shock on her face.
Soon, the Zombie Goddess came to her senses, and the Mist of Extreme Cold around her body exploded forth.
An Lin was knocked flying by the force of the blast and tumbled to the ground. He felt like his whole body had almost just been frozen solid.
The Zombie Goddess stood up from the ground and her body trembled slightly as her towering breasts rose and fell quickly. She stared at An Lin with a pair of pitch-black eyes and a peculiar expression.
A strange atmosphere hung in the air, and no one uttered a single word.
They couldnât even understand what was going on.
âNever has anyone taken so much initiative with meâŚâ
A seductive smile appeared on the Zombie Goddessâ face as she stroked her lips with a slender finger, appearing especially seductive and alluring.
âYou sure are a horny young man. Iâll spare your life seeing as you were so passionate and enthusiastic, see youâŚâ
Her alluring voice sounded, and she blinked seductively at An Lin before stepping onto a cloud of black mist and quickly flying away.
âDonât run!â An Lin clambered up from the ground and Wings of Wind appeared on his back as he prepared to give chase.
He knew that the Zombie Goddess had realized the disparity in their strength and decided to flee the battle.
But he obviously couldnât just let the Zombie Goddess go, so he decided to give chase.
At this moment, the black deathly mist surrounding everyone suddenly began to condense and surge toward them.
This was a deathly mist released by the Zombie Goddess; it was not something normal cultivators could handle.
An Lin could only cease his pursuit and combined forces with Da Bai and Cheng Ying to dispel the mist.
After the black mist had been dispelled, the Zombie Goddess was long gone.
âDamn, I let her escape!â An Lin was furious with himself.
If it wasnât for his hesitation, she wouldnât have had a chance to escape.
âNo problem, Big Brother An, weâll have a chance to track her down and discipline her in the future, woof!â Da Bai spoke excitedly.
âWhat? Discipline her?â An Lin blinked with incomprehension.
Everyone else began to gather around him, and they all looked at him with conflicted expressions.
Many of them were extremely grateful to An Lin and looked at him with reverence and admiration, but there were also a lot of people looking at him with peculiar expressions.
âMr. An Lin, who would have thought youâd have such unique fetishesâŚâ Cheng Ying cackled drily.
âSenior An Lin, your proposition to slay a god for us was really breathtaking, but it looks like youâre planning to f*ck a god instead!â The person who said this was a male admirer, and he was looking at An Lin with a thumb raised in approval.
He had been completely won over by An Linâs brazen act of lewdness.
Many of the male team members also chimed in with words of praise.
It wasnât that they werenât attracted to the Zombie Goddess, it was just that the Zombie Goddess was too powerful, and they didnât dare to act on their fantasies! They could only live vicariously through An Lin and offer up words of admiration to his bravery.
âHey! Youâve got the wrong idea, itâs not what it looks like!â An Lin finally figured out what they were talking about and immediately tried to clear his name.
âThereâs no need to explain anything, Senior An Lin, we have you to thank for saving our lives. Everyone has their unique fetishes, we wonât tease you for it.â Lu Xue also offered up earnest words of consolation.
Right at this moment, An Linâs shoulder received a heavy pat.
He turned to find his father looking at him with a calm and gentle gaze.
âSon, Iâve never doubted your strength, and youâve never disappointed me.
âI donât really want to interfere too much in your romantic lifeâŚ
âBut I have to lay out the pros and cons of an inter-special relationship like this oneâŚâ
An Mingchuan began to rattle off a long list of pros and cons, forcing An Lin to the brink of tears.
Stoooooop, itâs not what it looks like!
An Lin had no choice but to change the subject by force. He suggested for everyone to reach a safe place first before revisiting the issue.
The Zombie Goddess was still on the loose so it was best to follow An Linâs instructions and stage a retreat.
An Lin rode on Da Baiâs back and thought about what he was going to say to clarify the situation.
Accidentally pinning the Zombie Goddess was simple to explain, Da Bai had done it as well after all. The critical point was when he tried to kiss the Zombie Goddess, how was he supposed to explain that?
He was caught up in the moment? She seduced him? Gravity was too strong?
He couldnât just tell the truth, could he? Kiss and he could learn a cultivation method? Who the hell would believe that?
Wait, no⌠Xu Xiaolan might believe that.
But she would definitely give him a hearty slap first.
Would the powerful Sword Immortal An Lin permanently bear the derogatory title of zombie fetishist?
Soon, everyone in the reconnaissance team arrived at the main base of the Changbai Mountain under the guidance of Cheng Ying.
This was a base where three national teams and five sect teams were gathered, and it was used mainly for data exchange.
An Lin was immediately overcome by a sense of chilling coldness after reaching the base.
He immediately realized what was going on; this was the consequence of mission failure!
He would become completely frozen in ice for three days upon mission failure!
It looked like time was up and the system was about to deliver its punishment.
âDa Bai, Dad!â An Lin called hurriedly.
An Mingchuan looked toward An Lin and was shocked to find that his face had become exceedingly pale. âLittle Lin, whatâs going on!?â
âBig Brother An, what are you doing, donât scare me, woof!â
Da Baiâs body trembled as he felt the frosty aura emanating from An Linâs body.
âIâm fine.â An Lin shook his head and hurriedly explained, âIâm using a cultivation method which requires being frozen solid for three days. Just keep me in a safe place during this period of time and donât panic no matter what happens!â
He didnât believe he would die from being frozen. The system was a b*tch, but it wouldnât go as far as to kill him outright. After all, its previous owner had lived to a ripe old age, hadnât he?!
This was proof that one could live a long life even if they were plagued by the system.
This made An Lin a lot more optimistic!
The chilling sensation grew stronger and stronger, and he felt like his blood and musculoskeletal structure were all being frozen solid as his teeth chattered uncontrollably.
A breath of white frosty air flowed out from An Linâs mouth, freezing the air for a distance of a hundred feet in front of him!
Everyone turned to look at An Lin in shock, unsure of what had happened to him.
An Mingchuan was greatly startled by An Linâs deteriorating condition and pained expression. âLittle Lin, why would you use a cultivation method with such terrifying side-effects? Can you give up on it?â
An Linâs lips twitched. There was no cultivation method; it was all a ruse to give them a sense of complacency.
He wanted to speak, but he spat out a stream of ice instead.
Soon, An Linâs entire body was engulfed by white frost.
The translucent frost then enveloped all his internal organs, and he didnât even have time to close his eyes before he was transformed into a living ice sculpture.
Thus, An Lin was completely frozen solid under everyoneâs shocked gazes.
