Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

Her delicate, jade-like hands gently twirled through Aria's hair, while her pouting lips and fleeting eyes constantly drew Aria's gaze.

"Captain, Captain, something terrible has happened!"

Before the romantic atmosphere could even begin, it was interrupted by a hurried sound: a series of tense knocks came from the downstairs door.

Ailiya quickly stood up and, to Lin Xueyin's astonishment, swiftly dressed herself. In less than two minutes, she was already hurrying downstairs.

At this moment, Lin Xueyin belatedly realized that she should also go out and take a look. After getting dressed and going downstairs, Ailiya and the others had already disappeared. She stomped her feet angrily and muttered to herself about that disloyal woman.

"What is that?"

As night fell, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the once quiet town of York. Their slow pace and unnatural way of walking made the guards on the town's walls feel uneasy.

"Zombies?" Frowning deeply, Aria watched the people slowly approaching and suddenly remembered what she had found out at the academy.

Zombies are a common type of undead creature. They are slow-moving and have a slow attack speed, but they have very high defense and attack power. A single zombie is nothing to fear, but once they form a large group, they can become a terrifying fighting force.

"Captain, how do we fight this thing?" He drew his bow and shot an arrow at a zombie, but it only sparked a few flecks and had no effect whatsoever.

The group of zombies showed no emotion and continued walking towards the town in front of them.

"Smash their heads off, that should do it, but our current abilities are too limited..." Although she didn't want to say it, Aria had to admit that, facing hundreds of zombies, her few warriors and a dozen or so town guards were completely helpless.

“You guys, sound the alarm right now and organize the evacuation. If these zombies get in, the whole town will probably become a ghost town.”

Aria had some even more terrifying thoughts she didn't voice. These zombies couldn't have appeared out of nowhere; there must be a necromancer among them. If the other side turned all the townspeople into zombies, then the nearby pass would probably face an unprecedented crisis.

"Captain, what should we do?"

The guards and one Imperial Guard who were pointed out glanced at the approaching zombies. Although they were panicked, they still asked questions out of concern for Aria's safety.

"You guys go quickly, we'll buy you some time. You have to be fast. Also, tell Xueyin for me that I broke my promise to take her to the academy."

Raising her silver shield and drawing her longsword from its sheath, Aria's eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness.

"Gentlemen, behind us are the people we swore to protect. The enemy is at the city gates. Who is willing to fight to the death with me..."

"Aria, you idiot, have you lost your mind?" What should have been an exciting shout was ruined by a clear, exasperated voice.

"Xueyin, you, why are you here? It's dangerous here, you should go back immediately..."

He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm the anger that had been lingering within him. "You should know that when facing undead creatures, holy priests are the best choice. We are their natural enemies."

Concern leads to confusion, and this is exactly what happened to Aria at this moment. When faced with these undead that she could not defeat, her thoughts had changed from solving the problem to protecting Lin Xueyin. A commander who has lost his composure will naturally lose his ability to control the battle.

With a wave of his hand, a holy flame landed on the zombie not far away, instantly turning the impervious zombie to ashes.

"Hehehe, so you really are that priest who always ruins my plans. You do look quite human-pleasing. But I wonder what you'll become in the hands of my little darlings. I hope you don't get ruined."

"You're the culprit?"

Ignoring the foul language uttered by the other party, Lin Xueyin calmly confronted the necromancer who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

"The great battle is about to begin, but I'm looking forward to seeing you and my zombies on the second battlefield." It seemed like he was deliberately trying to provoke Lin Xueyin, but he was helpless to find that the other party didn't listen to him at all.

With your meager skills, you think you can provoke a seasoned otaku with such vulgar language? Lin Xueyin coldly chuckled to herself.

"Aria, don't move around. Just stay here and protect me. These rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs are all my food."

He raised his hand again, turning a zombie that was rushing over to its death into a puddle of ashes that disappeared after being blown away by the wind.

"As expected of a holy priest, the natural enemy of us undead. What a pity, what a pity. There are hundreds of zombies here. Even if you have the ability to purify them all, your magic power is insufficient. Give up resistance, and I will give you some dignity. Otherwise, what awaits you is the endless abyss."

Of course, if the other party surrenders, then what awaits her is also an endless abyss. To believe a necromancer is simply naive.

"Hehehe, dispel it, purify it, let's see how long you can hold out." He crossed his hands in his wide sleeves, watching Lin Xueyin's death throes as if he were watching a show.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're really pathetic. Being chased and beaten by a zombie like this, your cute little face is covered in dust. It's so pitiful that I want to destroy you."

Holding a shield, he rammed a zombie that was close to Lin Xueyin aside, while Lin Xueyin herself rolled around in a rather unladylike manner to dodge the sneak attacks of several zombies.

"Yukine, you should leave quickly, it's too dangerous here."

He raised his hand and threw another egg at himself and Aria, absorbing the damage inflicted by the zombies once more.

With a flick of his wrist, a staff appeared. Since you dare to fight me up close, don't blame me for showing you what it means to be a master of both magic and martial arts. Hmph, I'm a qualified priest.

With a single sweep of the staff, several zombies lay on the ground, missing limbs. Wielding a staff in one hand and unleashing holy flames in the other, he instantly vanished from any path of the zombies that approached him.

"Th-that is..." Staring in horror at the girl before him, he thought, "You say you're a priest? What kind of priest are you? That's a staff, not a greatsword."

Not only this cloaked man, but also Arya, who had already witnessed the melee priest scene several times, was still somewhat conflicted. She wondered if she could still have fun with a priest who was even more of a warrior than herself.

Every time she saw her like this, Arya, who was saying "I will always protect you," felt a little swollen on her face.

One zombie after another was reduced to ashes by the holy flames, yet Lin Xueyin showed no signs of lacking magical power.

Is this really a priest, or some kind of monster? Can you please stop being so horrifying? That's holy fire! A priest's magic power is usually so strong that it's already quite impressive if they can sustain it for ten uses. But this woman has already incinerated dozens of zombies.

Can you please stop being so terrifying? At this rate, even if there were twice as many zombies, it wouldn't be enough for her to purify them all. Where did this woman come from? How come she's completely absent from my intelligence?

The necromancer, skilled in summoning zombies and skeletons, had no other options at this point. Even if he enhanced these zombies, the damage would be doubled when facing holy skills, only hastening his own death.

Damn it, I thought I was here to play cat and mouse, but it turns out the other side is a vicious dog. A vicious dog that has sheathed its fangs, waiting for the enemy to appear so it can strike and kill.

Of course, Lin Xueyin, unaware that she had been called a vicious dog by her opponent, turned around and swept her gaze across a swarm of zombies. As if calling roll, she turned each zombie into ashes.

Watching his painstakingly transformed Greed Wolf Village into a zombie horde being so easily reduced to piles of ashes by his opponent, the cloaked man felt a pang of heartache.

Although his expression beneath the hood was obscured, the slight trembling of his body clearly revealed the turmoil within him to anyone who saw him.

His original plan was to storm into the town, massacre everyone inside, and even if there weren't enough zombies, he could summon enough skeleton soldiers from the corpses. However, his army couldn't even get into the town's gates before being blocked outside by a priest.

"Who...who are you?"

"If you don't know who I am, what are you doing here causing trouble?" Lin Xueyin raised an eyebrow, looking at the man who was already trembling all over, and continued speaking before he could answer.

"You were the one who caused all those troubles before, weren't you? Perfect, I'll settle all the old and new scores with you."

With a spear in her hand... cough cough, it was her staff pointing diagonally at the cloaked man in the distance. Lin Xueyin seemed to be possessed by Zhao Yun, rushing towards the opponent at lightning speed, knocking down all the zombies in her path.

Panic, an emotion I'd never felt before, overwhelmed me at that moment. Retreat, I had to retreat, I absolutely had to retreat. "Charge forward, charge forward!"

Behind the cloaked man, deep in the forest, a bright light flashed, and in the stillness, an indescribable pressure appeared on Lin Xueyin and Ailiya.

"Die! Die!"

Aria saw a huge figure suddenly leap into the forest towards Lin Xueyin, who was charging forward. The dull thud filled Aria's eyes with despair.

As the dust settled, a petite figure, holding a staff horizontally with both hands, blocked all the powerful downward blows from the opponent. With her legs slightly bent, she struggled to neutralize the attack from the burly man.

"Ughhhhh." The body covered in wounds was not as slow as the zombie before, but instead moved very nimbly. The large hand, like a fan, slammed down hard on Lin Xueyin's petite body.

Just as they were about to make contact, a golden light flashed, followed by the shattering of the shield. Taking advantage of the moment when her shield blocked the opponent, Lin Xueyin quickly retreated, increasing the distance between them as much as possible.

However, before she could even regain her footing, she was cleaved in two by her opponent's giant blade, a crimson streak appearing in the night. Lin Xueyin hurriedly leaped backward.

Blood dripped down her jade-like arm and onto the ground. Arya finally reached Lin Xueyin's side and, seeing her bleeding arm, quickly shielded her behind her.

"Yukine, this isn't an ordinary zombie, you'd better hurry..."

The smell of blood roused the surrounding zombies, causing them to rush madly toward Lin Xueyin. The bare-chested zombie, wielding a giant blade, also pressed closer.

"Aria, hang in there for me, it'll be over soon."

Ignoring the wound on her arm, the girl, kneeling on the ground, prayed with her hands clasped, muttering to herself, surrounded by a faint halo of holiness.

As the girl's voice continued to resonate, the surrounding zombies seemed to have encountered some natural enemy, gradually losing their ability to move. After each small halo of light, with a look of relief on their faces, they quietly disappeared into the world.

With a muffled thud, the shield shattered, and Aria fell at Lin Xueyin's feet, while the strong zombie silently pressed closer.

The staff and the greatsword clashed again with a heavy clang, suddenly erupting in a burst of purple light. Caught off guard, another deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed open on his body.

"Damn it."

Her fingers gently traced the wound, and it was visibly healed. Her azure almond-shaped eyes were filled with hatred for the zombie.

Since you've injured your friend, you should be prepared to face retaliation.

"That's fighting spirit, Xiaoxue, you'd better leave quickly..."

A warrior who already possesses fighting spirit is not someone a novice like Yukine, who has just become a priest, can withstand.

But... as a gigantic blade radiating divine power descended from the sky, Aria's mind gradually became confused, mirroring the widening of her pupils.

Volume 1: The Transmigrated Wet Nurse - Chapter 34: Post-War Longing

As the morning sun once again dispelled the pre-dawn darkness, Aria carried the exhausted girl slowly back into the town.

Everyone rushed forward to help the two heroes who were facing the enemy alone, but Arya politely declined. The girl on her back gently snored as she slept, filling Arya's heart with peace.

When the sacred light sword that had pierced the darkness last night killed the zombie who had already cultivated battle qi, the necromancer was also killed by the aftershock.

Lin Xueyin collapsed to the ground, exhausted. When I reached her side and helped her up, looking at the girl who had closed her eyes and was sleeping peacefully, my heart was filled with turmoil.

"Captain, you're finally back, finally back..."

Pushing through the crowd, the guards who came to Aria's side clenched their fists tightly as they looked at the girl whose armor could no longer cover her body.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit. Yukine is tired too."

Upon hearing what Aria said, the crowd spontaneously parted to make way for the two girls to leave safely.

Sacred Heart Hospital was no longer bustling with people as before. Instead, everyone passing by was careful not to make a sound and disturb the sleeping girls inside.

As the sun set and a gentle evening breeze blew, her slightly upturned eyelashes trembled unconsciously, and her azure pupils darted around playfully. Just as she was about to get up, she found herself tightly embraced on the bed by a snow-white jade arm.

The violent movement also made Aria open her eyes. Perhaps she was too tired and lost her usual vigilance, or perhaps it was because of the girl in her arms that she lost her usual guard.

At this moment, Ailiya was also somewhat annoyed, but more than that, she was concerned about Lin Xueyin's current situation.

"Xueyin, how's your injury? Is it any better?"

"I'm fine, don't worry, Aria, I'm perfectly fine now." She waved her arm to indicate that she was alright.

She turned her head in his arms, looking around at her familiar surroundings. "How did I get here?"

As Ailiya gently embraced her, the warmth of their breath as they spoke washed over her, and Lin Xueyin felt her face flush.

"You, after fighting with the other party, you collapsed on the ground from exhaustion. Don't push yourself so hard next time, understand? What if the other party was only injured? Let's see what you do then."

Lin Xueyin glanced at her stamina value and could only sigh helplessly. Why hadn't she thought of modifying her stamina value before? This caused her to be limited in battle due to insufficient stamina.
