Twin female zombies come to the door: My lord, please have mercy!

After hanging up Bai Yu's call for help, Lin Ye casually tossed his phone into his pocket.

He looked up, his gaze passing over the floor-to-ceiling windows of the guesthouse, and straight up to the blazing sun high in the sky at noon.

The sunlight was dazzling, and visible heat waves rolled across the asphalt road.

Froststar stepped forward, looked up at Lin Ye, and her heterochromatic eyes flashed with a fierce light, as if she were about to pounce.

The little girl had already pulled out half of the dark blue bone knife from her hand.

"Brother-in-law, should we go over there now and chop it into eight pieces?"

Lin Yequ raised his finger and tapped the little girl's smooth forehead.

"What's the rush? Put your knife away."

He turned and walked to the sofa, picked up the black coat draped over the back of the sofa, his tone revealing absolute control and professionalism.

"That bronze cauldron has been buried underground for over a thousand years and has long been soaked in the deathly aura of the Yin veins. No matter how ferocious the evil creature inside is, it would never dare to break the seal at noon."

"If it dares to show its face, the sun's true fire in the sky will instantly turn it into a pile of black ash."

Lin Ye put on his coat and straightened his collar.

"This thing will only cause trouble when the sun sets and the yin and yang are in transition. If we go to the underground laboratory now, we'll just be wasting our energy sitting there. It'll be completely useless."

Leng Yue changed her clothes and slowly walked out of the master bedroom.

She wore a black French wide-brimmed hat, with most of her face hidden in the shadows.

She wore a fitted black trench coat with her waist cinched open, revealing a burgundy pencil skirt underneath.

As she walked, her long, straight, snow-white legs were exposed without reservation, and she wore a pair of black stiletto heels, each step exuding a strong sense of pressure.

"What are your plans, sir?"

Leng Yue walked to Lin Ye's side, and a cool fragrance of red spider lilies enveloped the surrounding air.

Lin Ye wrapped his arm around her slender waist and pulled her closer to him.

"Bai Yu's archaeology department building is located inside Jiangzhou University. Since we have nothing else to do, let's just take a stroll on the university campus and also find out about the feng shui around that building."

……

Half an hour later, at the south gate of Jiangzhou University.

It was lunchtime, and the main road on campus was bustling with people.

Tall ginkgo trees lined both sides of the road, their leaves turning a golden hue in early autumn.

As soon as Lin Ye and his group of four stepped into the school gate, an eerie silence immediately fell over the once noisy tree-lined avenue.

This family's combination is a complete game-changer on campus.

Leng Yue's supermodel figure, coupled with her aloof and unapproachable aura, made the female college students who passed by look dull and lackluster in comparison.

Froststar carried a bright yellow duck backpack and held a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake she had just bought, her mouth full of sugar crumbs. Her sickly and cute appearance attracted the attention of countless girls.

Ayougu was dressed in a short T-shirt and ripped jeans, with Miao silver ornaments on her neck and wrists jingling with her footsteps, exuding a flamboyant and wild exotic charm.

A few boys who had just finished playing basketball walked by carrying their basketballs.

The boy at the front stared intently at Leng Yue's long legs, then stumbled and fell face-first into the flowerbed.

The boy following behind let go, and the basketball rolled a long way down the slope.

"Holy crap! Which entertainment company came to our school to scout locations and film a movie?"

"That's amazing! That mature woman in the hat is absolutely irresistible!"

"Who's that guy in the middle? Leading three stunningly beautiful girls around campus all by himself, is his family rich or is his dad on the school board? That's incredibly powerful!"

The whispers around me kept reaching my ears.

The envious glances from the men were so intense they could practically burn holes in Lin Ye's back.

Lin Ye walked in the middle of the three women, inwardly ranting and raving.

Taking these patriarchs out with me is just asking for trouble.

He became a walking target of hatred on this trip.

It's almost lunchtime.

Lin Ye led the team into the first canteen of Jiangda University with ease.

The rich aroma of food wafted over.

Ayougu, with her keen sense of smell, had long since thrown away the reserve of a Miao holy maiden. She picked up a stainless steel tray and ran all the way to the spicy hot pot stall.

She ordered a large bowl of bright red hot pot and carried the tray to the smart self-service checkout counter at the exit.

Blue data streams were flashing on the machine screen at the checkout counter.

As soon as Ayougu put the tray down, the machine emitted a crisp "beep" sound, and an infrared scanning beam suddenly shot out, accurately hitting her face.

The voice prompt was mechanical and cold: "Facial recognition in progress, please keep your face facing the screen."

Ayougu's expression changed drastically, her pupils contracted, and she took two steps back, almost overturning the tray in her hands.

The Miao girl's right hand swiftly reached for the cloth bag at her waist and pulled out the fiery red, venomous beetle.

"Sorcery! This iron box is draining my life essence!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, and all the college students queuing for food around her turned around, looking at this strangely dressed girl with question marks on their faces.

Ayougu exerted force with his fingertips, about to unleash his natal Gu worm to completely corrode the settlement machine, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, into a pool of molten iron.

Lin Ye saw it clearly from behind.

He took a step forward and pressed his body close to Ayougu's back.

He reached over her shoulders with both arms and gripped her wrists tightly as she was about to exert force.

At that moment, their bodies pressed together in an extremely close embrace.

The pure Yang energy contained in Lin Ye's palm was continuously transmitted into Ayougu's meridians through the thin short-sleeved fabric.

Ayougu shuddered violently, her previously wary face suddenly flushed red, the blush spreading all the way to her ears, and her struggling movements froze in mid-air.

"That's a facial recognition payment terminal. Don't you have internet access where you are?"

Lin Ye took the beetle from her hand and stuffed it back into the bag.

Then I took out my phone, opened the payment code, and scanned it against the machine.

"Payment successful."

The machine emitted monotonous announcements.

Ayougu bit her lip, lowered her head, picked up the tray, and rushed towards the distant dining table as if fleeing for her life, not even daring to make a sound with the silver ring around her neck.

The college students watching the scene were so embarrassed by their laughter that their faces turned bright red.

Several boys gave Lin Ye a thumbs up, their eyes filled with admiration for this "playboy"...

In the afternoon, the sunlight gradually softens.

The four of them sat on a wooden bench by the artificial lake to rest.

A cool autumn breeze swept across the shimmering lake surface and swayed the weeping willows along the shore.

Leng Yue sat quietly beside Lin Ye, her gaze fixed on the few white swans swimming on the lake.

A burst of noisy footsteps broke the tranquility of the lakeside.

Several well-dressed students gathered around.

The leader was a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a limited-edition trendy brand outfit and wearing a reflective Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

He held a thick stack of tarot cards in his hand, and a palm-sized brass compass hung conspicuously from his belt.

The boy ignored Lin Ye, who was sitting in the middle, and walked straight to Leng Yue, striking a pose that he thought was deep and charming.

"Sister, I am the president of the school's Folklore and Mysticism Research Club."

"I see a faint purple aura swirling between your eyebrows, and your destiny palace has unique astrological configurations. Our meeting is fate; how about I use this rare astrological tarot deck to give you a free fortune reading?"

The boy rattled off long strings of obscure and difficult astrological terms, attempting to demonstrate his profound knowledge and attract the attention of this stunningly beautiful and aloof woman.

The two pretty female followers behind him looked at him with eyes full of admiration.

Leng Yue didn't even lift her eyelids, treating the person in front of her as if there was no air in front of her.

Lin Ye leaned back on the bench, and the system's annoying notification sound rang out right on time.

"Ding! Your Excellency, please exercise self-respect. System notification: A campus playboy has been detected attempting to show off his meager skills in front of a legitimate master. Like trying to teach a master swordsman to use his axe in front of Guan Yu, please finalize your response plan within three minutes and give these sheltered flowers in their ivory towers a real hardcore shock!"

The light screen unfolds, displaying three options:

[Option A: Physical Expulsion – Instruct Frostnova to demonstrate the true power of the zombies, tearing the Tarot cards to shreds on the spot.]

[Reward: Domineering Wife-Protecting Medal. Consequence: The situation spiraled out of control, the ninth inning had to intervene to clean up the mess, and the precious campus holiday was completely ruined.]

Option B: Cyber ​​fortune telling, reverse dimensional reduction—seize his tools. Utilize the title of "Ironclad Prediction" and basic Taoist knowledge to expose his playboy nature on the spot, ruining his reputation!

[Reward: 200 Official Points, and the magical artifact [Peach Wood Carved Comb].]

[Option C: Remain silent—Let the other party pontificate in front of the two high-level corpse kings and see how long he can keep up the act.]

[Reward: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trial card. Consequence: Leng Yue lost her patience and burned him to ashes with a single Red Lotus Karmic Flame.]

These college students, oblivious to their own mortality, dared to discuss mysticism in front of the drought demon and the corpse king; they were simply asking for trouble.

I choose B.

Lin Ye stood up and unceremoniously snatched the tarot cards and compass from the rich second-generation's hand, casually tossing them onto the bench.

"A fortune telling?"

Lin Ye sneered, and the title of "Ironclad Prediction" was instantly activated, exuding a convincing Taoist majesty.

His gaze was sharp as he sized up the boy, delivering a barrage of modern vernacular Chinese mixed with feng shui terminology.

"Your life palace is dark, there is swelling and bluish discoloration under your eyes, and you feel unsteady and rootless when you walk."

"I stayed in Executive Suite 802 at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in the city center until 3 a.m. last night. I suffered from kidney deficiency and night sweats, and even two pills didn't help. And you're talking to me about unusual celestial phenomena?"

The rich second-generation boy's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He took a step back and looked at Lin Ye as if he were looking at a ghost.

Lin Ye didn't give him a chance to catch his breath and continued to criticize him, pointing at the scattered ornaments on his body.

"The red string you're wearing on your left wrist was obtained for you by the most beautiful girl in the finance department at Putuo Temple last week. The tassel hanging from the Maserati car key in your right pocket was a lucky charm that a freshman girl from the art department stayed up all night to make."

"You're using these cheap, three-for-ten-yuan esoteric books from street vendors to pick up girls? Aren't you afraid of getting your comeuppance someday?"

This precise and frantic output was incredibly sharp and to the point.

The two female followers behind the rich second-generation were struck dumb.

One of the girls slapped the rich second-generation guy across the face, cried out "scumbag!" and ran away.

The rich kid completely lost his composure, covering his swollen cheek, not even bothering to pick up the compass on the ground, and fled in panic with his tail between his legs.

The students watching the commotion erupted in deafening laughter.

"Ding! Option task completed, official points +200, current points: 5500."

"The ritual implement [peach wood carved comb] has been delivered to the storage space."

Lin Ye sat back on the bench and patted the dust off his hands.

After the onlookers dispersed, the lakeside returned to tranquility.

A gentle breeze carried a faint fishy smell from the lake.

Lin Ye flipped his wrist, and a wooden comb emitting a faint fragrance appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The comb is carved with intricate intertwined branches, and the wood is warm and delicate.

Leng Yue glanced at him, a soft light appearing in her deep red eyes.

She naturally turned to the side and gently rested her head on Lin Ye's firm, warm knees.

She raised her hand and took off the black wide-brimmed hat, her long, silvery-white hair flowing like a silver river, instantly cascading down onto Lin Ye's legs and the edge of the wooden chair.

Lin Ye held the wooden comb, moving it gently.

He combed through her long, silky hair from top to bottom.

A cool autumn breeze swept across the lake.

Leng Yue closed her eyes, pressing her cheek tightly against Lin Ye's knee.

The fair and slender nape of her neck was fully exposed to the slanting sunlight, revealing a warm and lustrous sheen like the finest mutton fat jade.

Lin Ye's fingertips darted through her silver hair, occasionally brushing against her slightly cool cervical vertebrae.

The intense heat of pure Yang and the icy cold of the drought demon created a strong temperature contrast the moment their skin touched.

This subtle yet lingering sensory stimulation travels along the nerve endings to every part of the body...

Until the sun set in the west, and the sky was ablaze with blood-red sunset clouds.

The noise on campus gradually faded away, and the tree-lined avenues were now empty.

Lin Ye put away the wooden comb and stood up from the bench.

Leng Yue tidied her hair and put her wide-brimmed hat back on.

Ayougu and Shuangxing stopped playing around and obediently walked behind Lin Ye.

The four walked side by side.

After passing through several dense groves of trees, an old building made of red bricks came into view at the end of the road.

This is the experimental building of the Archaeology Department at Jiangzhou University.

As the sunlight completely faded.

The evergreen shrubs planted around the building drooped down in unison the moment they lost sunlight, presenting a withered and sickly gray appearance.

A dense aura of death, visible to the naked eye, was spreading upwards along the ivy on the outside of the wall.

Lin Ye walked to the side entrance of the building.

The wooden door was ajar, and not a ray of light could see through the crack.

He reached out and pushed open the side door, disappearing into the impenetrable darkness of the stairwell.

Deep within the second basement level, the faint, intermittent dull sound of fingernails scratching metal echoed endlessly in the empty corridor.
