Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

The group helped each other back to the temple.

Qingqing quickly found some medicine to treat the injuries and applied it to the wounds.

As soon as Lin Bei entered the room, he collapsed into a chair, completely drained of energy.

Dried bloodstains remained at the seven orifices, which looked rather frightening.

"Senior brother! How are you?"

Jiale ran over with hot water and was startled when she saw Lin Bei's appearance.

"I won't die..."

Lin Bei waved his hand, "It's just that my mental energy is overdrawn; I'll need to recuperate for a while."

Four Eyes still held the broken sword in his hand, his face contorted with pain: "Why the hell am I so unlucky? Every time I fight, I break a sword. I've lost all my savings."

"Just a sword."

Master Ikkyu sat cross-legged beside him, eyes closed, and said, "More than a dozen beads on my prayer beads have also broken. What did I say?"

"You're a monk, you've renounced all worldly desires!"

He glared at him. "No, I'm not! I'm just worried about you!"

Chizuru's face was ashen, and although the wound on her arm had been replaced with fresh glutinous rice.

But the weakness from the corpse poison lingered for a while: "Two swords... Senior brother, I'll get you one later..."

"You'll pay for it?"

Four Eyes snorted, "You're dirt poor, what are you going to use to pay me back?"

"You should focus on healing your wounds!"

"Thanks to you all this time..."

Chizuru was grateful, "Otherwise, this old Taoist priest would have lost his life in the Takagaku forest."

"You should say less."

Four Eyes glared at him. "You too, knowing full well those were royal zombies, you still dared to tear down the shed?"

Chizuru was speechless after being rebuked.

Ikkyu, standing to the side, looked somewhat uneasy; it was he who had brought it up!

Minister Wu huddled in a corner of the room, holding the seventy-first prince tightly in his arms.

Looking at the room full of wounded people, he wanted to say something, but after seeing Shi Shaojian, he shut his mouth!

His face is still swollen from the bruises!

Shi Shaojian was still savoring the moment, wiping the Demon-Slaying Sword back and forth in his hand.

"My sword actually pierced through the hairy zombie... When did I become so powerful?"

"Holy crap, junior brother, aren't I awesome?"

Shi Shaojian's expression changed from bewilderment to ecstatic joy. He jumped and shouted, "I killed a hairy zombie! I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"

Si Mu poured cold water on the situation from the side: "You were just lucky. It was already on its last breath when it was attacked. Anyone could have killed it with that sword."

Shi Shaojian's smile faltered slightly, but quickly returned: "I was the one who stabbed him!"

. . . . . .

Lin Bei leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, the purple fake pill in his dantian appearing much dimmer than usual.

My mental energy was severely depleted, and I felt completely drained.

Bai Ling, who was on the bed, seemed to sense his weakness and crawled out of the covers.

She wobbled over to his feet and rubbed her little head against his trouser leg.

"Stop messing around...let me rest for a bit."

Lin Bei reached out and scooped the little fox up, placing it on his lap.

Bai Ling quieted down and curled up on his lap without moving.

Jiale brought over another bowl of hot ginger soup: "Senior brother, have some to warm yourself up."

Lin Bei took the drink and felt a warm sensation rise within him, which made him feel a little better.

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Jiale and Qingqing started getting busy.

Two little foxes were placed in a bamboo basket in the yard, lying side by side basking in the sun.

Bai Ling was much quieter than Bai Chen, curled up in the basket and dozing off with her eyes half-closed.

Bai Chen was very lively, rolling around in the basket and occasionally reaching out its paws to scratch Bai Ling's tail.

Bai Ling got annoyed by it and slapped Bai Chen on the face with one paw.

Bai Chen wasn't annoyed, and rolled over to continue making a fuss.

"These two little guys are really interesting," Qingqing said, squatting down next to the basket with a smile.

Jiale poked her head out from the kitchen: "Qingqing, the porridge is ready. Call them to get up and eat."

Qingqing responded and got up to go inside to call for help.

Si Mu finished two bowls of porridge, put down his chopsticks, glanced at Yi Xiu, and suddenly laughed, "Brother Yi Xiu, your Buddhist mudra last night was quite good. Could you teach me?"

Master Ikkyu slowly sipped his porridge: "Brother Four Eyes, you cultivate the methods of Taoism, while this humble monk practices the methods of Tantric Buddhism. It is not suitable for you."

"Just because it's not suitable doesn't mean you can't learn it!"

Si Mu slammed his hand on the table. "Look at this world! Flying zombies and hairy zombies everywhere. How can you survive without learning a few tricks?"

"Amitabha Buddha, if you wish to learn, this humble monk can teach you a few Buddhist protective spells."

"That's fine too! It's better than nothing!"

The two started bickering again, while everyone ate their own food, a habit they were all used to.

Lin Bei lowered his head and drank his porridge, his temples still throbbing slightly.

The aftereffects of overexerting his mental energy were far more serious than he had imagined.

Given his condition, it will take at least one or two months for him to fully recover.

Four eyes looked at Lin Bei: "Kid, you're badly injured. Don't practice for the next few days, just rest and recover."

"Yes, disciple understands."

Lin Bei nodded. He did need to take good care of his health, otherwise, he would be in big trouble if he developed any aftereffects.

"Shaojian! Don't run around these next few days. Keep an eye on these two little foxes." Si Mu then turned to Shi Shaojian.

Shi Shaojian picked up Bai Chen: "Uncle-Master, don't worry, I'll definitely feed them until they're plump and healthy."

The days that followed were unusually peaceful!

Lin Bei sleeps until late morning every day, and then sits in the yard to bask in the sun.

Bai Ling lay on his knees and dozed off with him.

Jiale and Qingqing were in charge of daily care. Qianhe's injuries recovered quickly, and Simu and Yixiu's injuries also gradually improved.

The only one who wouldn't stop causing trouble was Minister Wu.

After two days of quiet, the eunuch started jumping around again, wandering around the courtyard all day.

Jiale was so bothered by him that she would hide from him every time she saw him.

"Brother Jiale...you're really kind to him!"

"Look, these flowers were picked especially for you!"

"Is it pretty?"

Wu Shilang held a bunch of wildflowers in his hand and winked at Jiale.

Despite his rough-looking appearance, Minister Wu behaved like a transvestite!

Jiale shuddered: "Lord Wu...Lord Wu, you should keep it for yourself."

"Oh, it's just a token of their appreciation..."

"No, no! I really don't need it!"

Jiale turned and ran!

Minister Wu stamped his foot behind him, "What a lack of romantic understanding!"

Shi Shaojian sat in the courtyard, watching with amusement.

At the same time, I was also a little curious!

Does this mean that if a person loses their second child, they will all turn out like this?

That afternoon, Lin Bei was taking a nap in the yard.

Bai Ling suddenly lifted her head from his lap and let out a soft cry.

Lin Bei opened his eyes. In the bamboo basket, Bai Chen was reaching out its paw to poke at a fallen blade of grass.

Bai Ling jumped off Lin Bei's lap and slowly walked to the bamboo basket.

Two furry little creatures nestled together, quietly lying in the bamboo basket.

"Is this...an eye-opening experience?" Lin Bei smiled slightly as he looked at the scene.

The two little foxes, their ears still covered in fur, twitched slightly as they curiously observed the world around them.

The first thing they saw was each other.

Then Bai Ling turned her head and saw Lin Bei, and wobbled as she crawled toward him on her four short legs.

The little paws rested on Lin Bei's legs!

"Aww..."

Lin Bei picked up Bai Ling and tapped its nose with his fingertip.

Bai Chen followed, squatted down next to Bai Ling, looked up at Shi Shaojian, and wagged his little tail happily.

"Okay, so you two are treating us like your fathers."

Shi Shaojian bent down and picked up Bai Chen as well.

Bai Chen nestled obediently in his palm, her pink little tongue licking his fingers.
