Chapter 350: Chen Leling’s Big Secret
Wait, just because I’m yellow-haired, does that mean in Jiuer’s eyes, I’m the kind of guy who’ll lose all sense and charge at any pretty girl?
I’ve at least grown up with Jiuer since we were kids. Doesn’t she have even a bit of trust in me?!
Plus, Yun Zhonghe thought to himself, he actually did push a chick before—well, except for Xue Yunjian, but that chick wasn’t even human and, besides, it was Yun Zhonghe who got pushed instead.
At this moment, Xue Yunjian appeared to sense YZH’s inner grumble and suddenly chimed in, “Although I may not be human, I can make my master feel more comfortable than any chick.”
Xue Yunjian knew very well Yun Zhonghe’s sensitive spots.
Upon hearing that, Yun Zhonghe was speechless and promptly ignored Xue Yunjian’s everyday antics.
Tao Jiu’er didn’t say much but followed Senior Sister Qing Luan over, always keeping an eye on her for fear that she might do something outrageous to Chen Leling.
After all, Jiu’er could tell how worried YZH was about Senior Sister Qing Luan, who might dissect Leling out of sheer curiosity.
Though Leling had powerful self-healing abilities and theoretically wouldn’t d*e, no one wanted to see her sustain any unnecessary damage…
With time ticking by, about thirty minutes later, the examination finally ended.
Leling and Jiu’er returned, hand in hand, before everyone.
Senior Sister Qing Luan’s face was filled with excitement and satisfaction, as if she had gained some valuable intel.
Qing Luan: “I learned so many cool things!”
For some reason, Jiu’er wore a complex expression.
Curiously, Yun Zhonghe asked, “What interesting thing did you find?”
With an elegant gesture, Qing Luan delicately picked up the fragrant tea on the table.
She sipped carefully, then replied, “While Leling’s heartbeat is abnormally slow to near-stagnation, her other organs are still functioning normally and her brain shows no signs of shrinking.”
Such thorough examination… maybe they even used X-ray?
Yun Zhonghe recalled the amazing magics used by those two meditators during his checkup and reckoned Qing Luan must also possess similar magics, capable of human inspection in detail.
Regarding the mystery of Leling coming back to life, based on what Yun Zhonghe described, Qing Luan reached a preliminary conclusion: Leling somehow took a pill in a cave to boost her yang energy, disrupting her internal yin balance, leading to her resurrection.
This rare occurrence made Yun Zhonghe wonder; typically, zombies couldn’t return to human form, hence Leling’s luck must be extremely good.
However, this might still be the result of unusual chances. Perhaps there’s a difference between Leling and ordinary zombies that Qing Luan hasn’t uncovered yet.
Qing Luan straightened on her nose and said in a clever way, like a sleuth, “This kid might be drawn to you because of your exceptionally strong yang energy. She instinctively gets close to people with plenty of yang, and by being around you often, she subconsciously absorbed your yang energy, which might have facilitated her transition back to being human.”
Yun Zhonghe felt a sudden light bulb go off in his head: “So that’s it…”
It made sense why Leling clung to him back in Tianhai City, purely driven by his yang energy.
Since he practiced Jinyang Exercise from young, making his body almost pure yang.
No wonder Leling stayed attached to him, constantly following him like a shadow, absorbing his yang qi, unknowingly speeding up her transformation back to human form.
Yun Zhonghe instinctively turned to Leling.
Coincidentally, she noticed his glance and broke into a radiant smile at him. Her smile was innocent and pure.
But a hint of concern clouded Yun Zhonghe’s brows.
Qing Luan observed it all and smiled playfully, “Worried about the day another man with stronger yang energy appears and lures her away?”
Yun Zhonghe cleared his throat, “Not really.”
But in his heart, he acknowledged he might feel a twinge of disappointment if that ever happened.
Qing Luan reassured him, “She might have initially latched onto you by instinct, but now her mind is clearing up. Your bond goes beyond just physical instincts. Don’t worry, she won’t leave you.”
Yun Zhonghe nodded slightly.
Qing Luan added, “Oh, and I took some bl**d samples from her. No different from a human’s, showing healthy red color. The wounds healed quickly, probably her zombie healing ability at work. Her fingers and toes are perfectly five, and ‘everything else’ is just like a human’s with full function.”
“Even that part…” Yun Zhonghe was startled. He hadn’t expected such thorough examination, even checking private areas.
“Why do we need to check that?!”
There were too many points to complain about, he didn’t know where to begin.
No wonder Jiu’er looked complicated when they came out.
Jiu’er, noticing his subtle expression, whispered, “More than that, there’s something weird. When Leling started peeing normally, she became overly eager and wanted to collect Leling’s pee and poop…”
Yun Zhonghe’s lips twitched, “Uh… this…”
Well, from a medical standpoint, urine and fecal sample tests were indeed necessary.
Still, he felt a strange unease.
Despite this, the current conclusions did give him relief.
Qing Luan assured them not to worry much about Leling’s health. As long as she continued staying with Yun Zhonghe, absorbing his yang qi, she’d gradually become a regular human over time, possibly even retaining some zombie powers.
Just then, an absurd idea flashed across Qing Luan’s mind.
Her eyes sparkled, “Yun, why don’t you try… you know, doing the deed with her? It might inject lots of yang qi into her, helping her turn back to a human! She depends on you, so she shouldn’t object.”
Proudly, Qing Luan felt ingenious for having such an ingenious plan.
Immediately, chaos erupted.
Jiu’er’s face darkened, forcing a smile as she slammed her fist on the table, “Miss Qing Luan, watch your mouth! Not all jokes are harmless!”
Summer Jinglong nervously clenched her fist, stuttering, “Yeah, Qing Luan, that’s too ridiculous.”
While Leling looked perplexed, blinking innocently.
Seeing their reactions, Qing Luan realized she had gone too far. She awkwardly scratched her head, “Haha, sorry, old habit kicking in, ladies calm down. This was just a joke. You know me, sometimes I get carried away with thinking.”
