"When did that lazy bum Lin Tian start counting as a hero?"
In truth, Houtu's real reason for rejecting the idea was simple: she did not want to see Lin Tian in danger.
Heaven knew what methods Yuanshi's Good Corpse incarnation would use to restrain Lin Tian. He might even use him to threaten her.
And Lin Tian was merely a slightly unusual Great Encompassing Golden Immortal. How could he possibly withstand a Saint's Evil Corpse incarnation?
