One person: Twelve talismans, starting by beating up the old Celestial Master.

"Besides, all I can do now, besides wait for him to come back, is to help him in any other way."

"If I were to self-harm because of my emotions at this moment, Ling Feng would be heartbroken when he comes back, and I don't want him to do that."

Looking at his great-granddaughter's calm expression

The old man suddenly had a feeling of déjà vu, like the emperor wasn't worried but the eunuch was.

Lu Jin shook his head after hearing this, thinking to himself...

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; it's best for me to say less.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and left Lu Linglong's room.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Chapter 31 Lingfeng Zhenren, do you believe in the afterlife?

Over the past few days, Zhang Lingfeng has been relentlessly killing one zombie after another, as if his life force were being decimated.

Thanks to the advantages granted to him by the Horse Talisman, he felt no drowsiness or fatigue whatsoever.

During this time, the deer demon named Linglong followed closely behind him.

The other party wasn't entirely without merit.

Zhang Lingfeng discovered that this deer demon could undergo two transformations, resulting in three different forms.

Its usual form is a red deer and a girl resembling Lu Linglong.

Its third form is an enchantment based on a human body, in which its appearance becomes monstrous and its entire body turns crimson, and the tiny horns on its head grow longer and sharper at this moment.

In this form, Linglong resembles a red Rakshasa demon.

At the same time, her personality will change drastically, becoming extremely irritable.

However, even in her berserk state, Linglong still showed a hint of shyness when facing Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng asked curiously, "Since she has this method, why didn't she use it earlier?"

Linglong explained that this state was too taxing for her, so she wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng raised an eyebrow.

"Are you suggesting that this state consumes one's vital energy and lifespan?"

"Then you shouldn't use it. Actually, I can easily deal with these zombies without your help."

The two were sitting in front of a dilapidated house, with zombies scattered all around them.

These zombies were villagers whose life force had been absorbed by the time traveler, and who then transformed them into puppet subordinates.

However, each of them was charred black and incomplete.

It was clearly dealt with by Zhang Lingfeng's lightning magic.

Hearing Zhang Lingfeng's words, Linglong beside him smiled and shook her head.

"It doesn't matter. My family and clan are all dead. There's no point in me living."

"Originally, I lured those five zombies with the intention of using this avatar to kill them."

Zhang Lingfeng curled his lip in response.

"Isn't it good to be alive? All things in the world seek immortality, yet you do the opposite."

"You don't need to be so eager to die. You should use your transformation ability less often."

Linglong smiled slightly upon hearing this, tilting her head to look at Zhang Lingfeng, who was sitting cross-legged.

"Master Lingfeng, could you tell me your story with that human girl?"

Zhao Lingfeng was stunned upon hearing this.

"You mean Lu Linglong?"

At this point, Zhang Lingfeng's gaze softened, no longer sharp, as he looked up at the sky with tenderness.

"Our story is a long one."

So Zhang Lingfeng shared his story of how he met and fell in love with Lu Linglong.

He then took out his phone and showed Linglong her photo.

Linglong stared in surprise at the phone in Zhang Lingfeng's hand.

"Master Lingfeng, what kind of magical artifact is this? It's so amazing!"

Looking at his phone, which was low on battery, Zhang Lingfeng didn't bother to explain further, and simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

"It could be considered a magic weapon."

Linglong looked at the photo of Zhang Lingfeng and Lu Linglong on her phone, her eyes filled with envy.

"This girl really does look like me; no wonder you mistook me for her at first glance."

She must be very happy.

Seeing that Linglong was somewhat downcast, Zhang Lingfeng smiled slightly.

"Don't be envious, you can find your own happiness too."

Upon hearing this, Linglong's slightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed, though she remained disappointed inside.

Actually, back in the forest, the moment Zhang Lingfeng descended from the sky to save her...

Her heart had already been captured by the man before her.

Especially during these past few days together

Her admiration was captivated by the other person's imposing figure as he slayed zombies.

All living things possess a tendency to admire the strong, especially wild animals.

However, she felt resentful when she saw that the other person was ignoring her and intentionally keeping their distance.

So she kept using her third form, trying to attract Zhang Lingfeng's attention.

This reckless and dangerous act was undoubtedly insane and reckless.

Today, she received care and concern from the other party, and she felt that everything she had done was worthwhile.

Linglong's current situation isn't very good, but she doesn't regret it.

When she saw the appearance of the girl named Lu Linglong inside that "magic weapon," she was truly envious of her.

Aside from intense envy and a slight hint of jealousy, she had no other negative emotions.

"Master Lingfeng, do you believe in the afterlife?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lingfeng was taken aback, and then he scrutinized Linglong again.

He also recalled his conversation with Lu Linglong in the mall before going to the Lu family banquet.

"Maybe we were together in a past life."

Could this female demon in front of me be Lu Linglong's past life?

It can't be that much of a coincidence...

Zhang Lingfeng looked into Linglong's eyes.

"Why do you say that, Miss Linglong?"

Hearing this, Linglong didn't say much, but simply smiled and shook her head.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like saying it."

"We should head out and kill the zombies."

After saying that, she got up and slowly walked out of the village.

Looking at the other person's lonely and frail figure, Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but frown slightly.

In the ensuing battle, Linglong disregarded the depletion of her own vital energy and lifespan, repeatedly activating her third state.

Seeing the blood trickling down the corner of the other person's mouth, Zhang Lingfeng sighed helplessly.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Miss Linglong, why are you doing this?"

But the other party just smiled stubbornly.

"Master Lingfeng, there's no need for further explanation. This is the path I chose myself."

Seeing this, Zhang Lingfeng shook his head; this personality was exactly the same as someone else's.

Just then, the system prompted him in his mind that only a few zombies remained in the town ahead.

Seeing this, Zhang Lingfeng's lips curled up slightly.

Today is the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

If I take all the zombies down in one go, maybe I'll meet my ancestor Zhang Daoling and attain enlightenment tomorrow!

After all, he had learned from the villagers he rescued that he had fought his way here.

There was another person who, just like them, was constantly killing zombies.

Based on the villagers' descriptions, this person is most likely their ancestor.

The thought of soon meeting the Grandmaster filled Zhang Lingfeng with excitement.

At this moment, he turned his head to look at Linglong behind him, whose face was deathly pale and bloodless, and said with a slight frown.

"The zombies ahead are the source of all this; the battle there is bound to be treacherous."

"I don't care what you think, I just hope you stop wasting your remaining lifespan."

"If you continue to transform recklessly as you did in the previous battles..."

"Then I have no choice but to use the Golden Light Array to temporarily bind you here."

As he spoke, Zhang Lingfeng extended his right hand, revealing a talisman between his index and middle fingers.

Linglong smiled slightly upon seeing this.
