Chapter 161: Chapter 160: Return

Snake King? Breaking through the top of the head? Samadhi? Lin Tian was not a practitioner of Ancient Yoga Skill, and these professional terms almost didn’t register with him, but when compared with Huaxia’s Ancient Martial arts, the principles seemed to correlate.

Ancient Martial arts also spoke of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan. The concept of the "Snake King" breaking through the top of the head to achieve Samadhi in Ancient Yoga Skill should be somewhat similar.

"Cultivation can’t be rushed; let’s take it slow. Once the right opportunity comes, who knows, I might just have an epiphany. I think we should deal with these ninjas first. Though this is a forest, it’s still a scenic area, and soon people will discover it." Ghost, having been trained as a mercenary, found erasing traces to be child’s play.

He took out some tools and erased any identifiable traces from the scene, his professional method impressed Lin Tian.

But Lin Tian wasn’t worried, he said, "These ninjas’ identities in Huaxia are definitely illegal, secretly crossing the border to plan dangerous activities. If discovered by national security, they wouldn’t be able to protect themselves either. In fact, we’ve done the country a favor."

"Exactly, in this line of work, having no identity, no nationality, only by dying can one ensure not causing trouble for one’s organization. It used to be the same when I was a mercenary. No one knew your real identity, only a code name. When you died, there would be no one to claim your body—it’s dying without a burial site," Ghost said blandly after finishing his task, standing up.

"Alright, let’s leave too. We’ve wasted enough time on these people." Lin Tian and Ghost left the forest, with Ghost eliminating their tracks all the way until they left East Snake Mountain.

"We’ll part ways here. I’ll come back for you later." Ghost, who had his own matters to attend to, bade Lin Tian a word and turned to walk away, soon disappearing into the night.

Lin Tian didn’t need to worry about how Ghost would find him later; with Ghost’s abilities, he was sure to find him. He waved his hand, and Rossi, who had been hiding in the darkness, flew out, landed on the ground, and transformed back into human form.

"Let’s head back too, Rossi. You come with me. When you transform into a bat, make sure you hide well so no one discovers you. When the time is right, you can appear in human form again, and I’ll prepare a suitable reason for you," Lin Tian told the handsome vampire Rossi.

After all, a large bat appearing in a major city would attract everyone’s attention. Some people might even bring out shotguns to shoot him, and if Rossi were to attack these people, it would cause a huge incident.

"Alright, Brother Tian. I do have a legal identity in Huaxia, so I’ll just follow you discreetly for now. I won’t transform into a bat unless necessary," Rossi nodded in response.

Lin Tian then gave Rossi the address of the hotel he was staying at and asked him to tidy up and come over. After Rossi had left, Lin Tian started running at high speed, following his memory toward the hotel he was staying at.

It was now one o’clock in the morning, and there were still many cars on the road. Following the route he had taken earlier, Lin Tian ran back to the hotel in just over ten minutes, much faster than driving.

The hotel was very quiet at this time, with occasional guests walking around but no loud noise. Lin Tian pushed the door and walked into the hotel lobby, where the beautiful front desk attendant gave him a strange look, wondering how such oddly dressed individuals could appear in a high-end hotel.

However, the skilled attendant wouldn’t casually intervene or mock the guests, just giving him a look and then returning her focus to her work.

Indeed, his attire was somewhat strange—an evening suit jacket on the outside, but most bizarre was that underneath he was bare-skinned, not wearing any shirt or undergarments.

Lin Tian had no other choice, as he certainly couldn’t wear Rossi’s shirt and underpants. Just as he was about to head to the elevator, he inadvertently caught sight of two beauties sitting on a sofa in the lobby.

On closer inspection, weren’t they the Xiao sisters? Miss was sitting at one end of the sofa, staring blankly at the air in front of her, while Manxuan was leaning on her sister, eyes closed, asleep. Yet even in sleep, her beautiful brows were furrowed as if she were worried about something.

Seeing the situation of the Xiao sisters, it was clear they were waiting for him to come back, and Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit guilty. Despite those ambiguous vibes, the Xiao sisters were indeed nice to him. Miss was a bit domineering, but she was still reasonable.

He quietly walked over, and even Miss, with her keen perception, didn’t notice him, which made him think she must have been spacing out. He just didn’t know what she was thinking about.

"Miss..." Lin Tian waved his hand in front of her to try and bring her attention back.

Miss looked up, her eyes still not focused, and confusedly said, "Lin Tian?"

"Who else but me? I’m back," Lin Tian said softly, pityingly tucking her disheveled hair behind her ears.

"You... you..." Miss tried to say something, but Lin Tian’s affectionate gesture made her face turn red with embarrassment.

Then she noticed the clothes on Lin Tian, and a puzzled light flashed in her eyes. She recognized those clothes as the strange suits worn by vampires.

"Shh..." Lin Tian gestured for her to not make a sound in surprise, so as not to wake Manxuan. He whispered, "I went back to Fanyin Temple to find you, but you had already left. As for the clothes I’m wearing, I’ll tell you about it when we have time."

"Who is the girl who saved you? With the way you were at that time, did you take advantage of her?" Miss recalled the scene, feeling a bit angry.

What kind of eyes does Miss have, thinking a girl like that could take advantage? It was more like I was the one who was taken advantage of, Lin Tian thought to himself, complaining inside.

"Miss, why don’t you ask if I was taken advantage of? I was the one who was naked, after all," Lin Tian said, feeling wronged.

These days, it’s not safe to be too handsome; female perverts are not uncommon. Why is it always assumed that men take advantage?

"You..." Miss had nothing to say, discussing who was or wasn’t wearing clothes with Lin Tian was surely embarrassing.

"Don’t ’you’ me and I ’me’ you. I’ll carry Second Miss up and let’s go to bed early. If we don’t rest up, I’m worried the excitement from tomorrow’s bid results might be too much for you to handle, hehe," Lin Tian chuckled, deliberately saying so, but he didn’t actually move.

While he had been talking with Miss, he noticed that Manxuan’s eyes had flickered, but then quickly closed again. Lin Tian spotted her little act and knew she was awake. The little girl was pretending to be asleep, and he wondered why.

Daring to pretend to sleep in front of me, I need to give you a scare, Lin Tian thought quite shamelessly.

Currently, in the hotel lobby, although it was very late, it was still a public place, and Manxuan, being shy, wouldn’t dare let Lin Tian carry her. She intentionally made a "mmh" noise, and the little girl opened her eyes, waking up.

The moment she woke up and saw Lin Tian’s mischievous smile, she knew he had caught her pretending to sleep, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
