《Top-Tier Superpower Student》 Chapter 1 Waste? How am I waste? Grade 12 (ss 19), the teacher was lecturing at the podium, while Lin Tian, with excitement on his face, was flipping through a math book and stealthily ncing over the delicate bodies of his female ssmates. "ABCDEFG..." Lin Tian quietly sang an English song, a hint of a sly smile on his lips. Flipping a math book while singing an English song, probably only a unique character like Lin Tian could manage such a feat. However, neither the surrounding students nor the teacher could know that the clothes of each girl were slowly turning transparent in Lin Tian''s eyes. Superpower! irvoyance! Yes, this was the new superpower Lin Tian had just acquired! But the irvoyant ability onlysted a few seconds before gradually fading, and Lin Tian''s focus returned to the math book in his hands. Lin Tian flipped through the book quickly, essentially scanning it and then flipping to the next page. As he continued, his flipping speed increased even more. Simultaneously, as the pages turned, Lin Tian''s face became more and more excited. It worked! It really worked! I understand! Ipletely understand! Without any obstacles! Lin Tian, with an excited expression, flipped through the math book, understanding everythingpletely! Just one read, and he fully understood the previously iprehensible math book. Lin Tian slowly closed the book and closed his eyes. As Lin Tian closed his eyes, every scene from the book surfaced in his mind! He hadpletely memorized it! And he had only read it once! Most importantly, hepletely understood it as well! Feeling this magical change, Lin Tian looked very excited, his face even turning a bit flushed with emotion! Superpowers! Such a powerful superpower! Lin Tian thought excitedly. Lin Tian could hardly believe that he had one day acquired such a miraculous Supernatural Ability System. Today, on his way to school, he had found a silver stic watch on the road. Thinking the watch looked nice, Lin Tian decided to try it on. Little did he know that as soon as he put on the silver watch, it melted into a liquid and merged into his body, and a surge of information appeared in his mind. From this information, Lin Tian learned that the watch was created by a brilliant scientist three thousand years in the future, specifically designed for picking up girls. Once the watch was put on, a Supernatural Ability System would form inside the user''s body, and this system could issue various tasks. Uponpleting these tasks, the user would earn Supernatural Points. These Supernatural Points could be exchanged for various superpowers within the system. Invisibility, flying, irvoyance¡ªnone were mere dreams anymore, and with enough Supernatural Points, even traveling into space wasn''t an issue. When the system first activated, it gifted two abilities: an eidetic memory withprehension abilities and an initial irvoyant experience! After absorbing this information, Lin Tian was still half-doubtful, but now hepletely believed it! Superpowers! He really acquired superpowers! Because just now, By merely reading through a book once, Lin Tian memorized and understood its content! This was miraculous for Lin Tian, considering he usually performed poorly in school and never understood what the books were about. Usually, he recognized the forms in the book, but they didn''t recognize him! But now it was different, as he had fully memorized and understood everything after only one read! "This is amazing!" Lin Tian muttered excitedly. "What''s the matter with you?" Wang Gang, his deskmate, curiously nced at Lin Tian, finding him exceptionally strange today. "It''s okay!" Hearing Wang Gang''s words, Lin Tian quickly responded while silently admonishing himself not to get too excited. Wang Gang nced at Lin Tian curiously but didn''t pay much attention. Feeling that Wang Gang''s attention was no longer on him, Lin Tian took a deep breath, his face beaming with excitement as he looked at the books stacked on his desk. There were many books, from first to third year of high school, piled high.N?v(el)B\\jnn Before, just seeing these books would scare Lin Tian, but now... Lin Tian, still beaming with excitement, reached for the books on the table. Flipping through! Flipping through! Lin Tian was determined to flip through all these books! Whirr~! Suddenly, the sound of Lin Tian reading the books resonated from his seat. ** Half the ss had almost passed without notice, and the math teacher, Li Min, was lecturing with a frown as she looked at Lin Tian below. Since the ss began, Li Min had been aware of Lin Tian because he had been looking down, apparently flipping through books. But Li Min truly didn''t believe he was looking at textbooks; she thought he was reading novels instead. Because she had caught him reading novels several times before! Generally, Li Min would categorize such poor students as hopeless and usually wouldn''t bother with them. But today her mood was off, and she felt like intervening! Li Min frowned, looked down at Lin Tian with a stern face, and called out, "Lin Tian!" Lin Tian kept his head down, reading. Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t respond, Li Min grew angry and called out again, "Lin Tian!" This time, she emphasized her tone! Hearing the teacher''s voice, all the students instantly turned their gazes toward Lin Tian. But by this time, Lin Tian was already immersed in a sea of knowledge,pletely oblivious. "Hey, Lin Tian!" Lin Tian''s desk mate, Wang Gang, seeing this scene, quickly pushed Lin Tian''s arm. "Huh?" Feeling someone pushing him, Lin Tian looked up, somewhat dazed. Only when he looked up did he realize that all the ssmates were looking at him. Lin Tian''s gaze then shifted to the teacher on the podium. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, an annoyed Li Min asked, "Tell me, how do you solve the problem I just mentioned?" The problem just now? Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly stunned, then he slightly turned his head to look at Wang Gang, hoping he would tell him which problem it was. Because Lin Tian had been engrossed in his books, he hadn''t paid attention to where Li Min was in her lecture. But Wang Gang wasn''t sure what Lin Tian meant and even thought Lin Tian was asking him how to solve it. With the teacher looking at Wang Gang, he naturally didn''t dare to speak. So, Wang Gang could only look at Lin Tian helplessly. Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, Li Min''s face darkened as she scolded, "If you don''t understand, you should learn properly. Look at yourself, what do you look like! All you do is read novels all day! Reading such rubbish, what''s the use! Simply a waste! Alright, sit down." Li Minmanded sternly. Hearing this, Lin Tian didn''t sit down; instead, he appeared furious! Waste! Who is a waste! How am I a waste! Is being poor in grades equivalent to being a waste? Lin Tian red at Li Min, "Waste, how am I a waste! Just because you say I can''t do it means I can''t do it?" Chapter 2 You Rock ``` Backtalk! You dare to talk back? And with such a defiant attitude! Li Min looked at Lin Tian with disbelief stered on her face. After a moment of shock, Li Min suddenly became furious and said angrily, "Fine, tell me how to solve problem number 20! If you can do it, I''ll apologize to you, and I won''t even care if you don''t attend ss in the future!" "Hmph!" Having said that, Li Min huffed in annoyance and looked at Lin Tian with a hostile expression. You think you can solve it? What a joke! She knew all too well about Lin Tian''s grades! He couldn''t possibly solve this problem! At the same time, all the students in the ss looked towards Lin Tian, some with sympathy, others with schadenfreude. But no matter what, everyone thought Lin Tian couldn''t do it. After all, his grades were well known to everyone; not to mention his ranking in the whole grade. Even in the ss, Lin Tian''s scores were at the bottom! He could solve it? Absolutely impossible! The others might not care, but Lin Tian didn''t see it that way. With the help of his superpower, he now had full confidence in himself. Problem number twenty. Hearing Li Min''s words, Lin Tian looked down at the test paper in his hands; problem number twenty was an essay question. This problem was difficult; only two students in the ss had gotten it right during the exam. If it had been before, the mere sight of this problem would have made Lin Tian feel overwhelmed. But now... As soon as he saw the problem, forms began to appear in Lin Tian''s mind, automatically organizing themselves in his head. Feeling this, Lin Tianpletely rxed and confidently said, "Since a=1, b=2, x=1...it follows that m=3/2, and from m, we can deduce that..." As Lin Tian slowly exined, everyone was stupefied. Even Li Min stared at Lin Tian in a daze! Correct! Completely correct! Lin Tian''s solution was clear and logically structured, each form correctly applied! Completely correct! He actually knew it! Li Min looked somewhat dumbfoundedly at Lin Tian, as if she couldn''t believe the scene unfolding before her eyes... Is this the same underachiever? The same trash student? Not just Li Min, the entire ss stared at Lin Tian in disbelief. By the time Lin Tian had finished exining, Li Min was still somewhat dazed. Seeing Li Min''s expression, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow with a trace of disdain shing across his face. Tsk! You think such an easy problem can stump me? Calling me trash! You''re the trash! Lin Tian thought scornfully to himself. Seeing that Lin Tian had solved the problem, Li Min, who had initially intended to let Lin Tian off, frowned upon seeing the disdain on his face and said coldly, "Now, try problem number 30!" Problem number 30 was the hardest one on the entire test, and she hadn''t even exined it yet. She refused to believe Lin Tian could solve that one too. There weren''t many in the whole grade who could solve it! You wouldn''t know until I put you in your ce! Li Min looked at Lin Tian dissatisfied, feeling that this student was far too arrogant. Problem thirty? Hearing Li Min''s words, Lin Tian looked down again, observed carefully for a moment, and likewise, forms began to appear in his mind, automatically assembling and reasoning out the answer! Not difficult at all! ``` Lin Tian wore a confident smile on his face, "This question goes like this, given that ''a'' is not equal to zero, and at the same time ''b'' is less than zero... thus when ''a'' is greater than zero..." As Lin Tian slowly exined, Li Min was once again dumbfounded. Really! Did he really just solve it? And got itpletely right? How, how did this happen? Li Min stared at Lin Tian with a somewhat dazed look on her face. Many students actually didn''t understand the question, and they didn''t know whether Lin Tian''s answer was correct, but from Li Min''s somewhat astonished and incredulous expression, it was clear that Lin Tian had answered correctly. Lin Tian had actually solved the most difficult question! Upon considering this possibility, the ssmates were somewhat incredulous because it was just too fantastical. Based on Lin Tian''s usual performance, there was no way he could have done this. Seeing that Li Min was so stunned she could hardly speak, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and said somewhat impolitely, "Teacher, please respect me, I am not useless! And also, I require your apology!" "Hmph!" Initially surprised, Li Min let out a cold snort upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. Not only did she not apologize, but she also turned away with a cold face and walked out of the ssroom! She couldn''t face apologizing to Lin Tian, she couldn''t bring herself to apologize to such a poor student! But she had just been shown up by Lin Tian and had lost face, so she couldn''t stay here any longer. Thus, she left in something of a huff. As Li Min left with a dark expression, the once-quiet ssroom instantly became noisy. All the students started talking at once. "Lin Tian, nicely done! Didn''t see thating from you!" Once Li Min had left, Wang Gang looked at Lin Tian with a surprised expression! He really couldn''t believe that his deskmate had been so impressive today! "Awesome!" Sitting in front of Lin Tian, Jiang Zhong turned around and gave Lin Tian a thumbs up, saying excitedly, "Bro Lin, you''re too awesome, you didn''t see how you pissed off that witch and made her run away! Awesome! It''s really too awesome!" Jiang Zhong was very excited, acting as if it had been him who had driven Li Min away. Like Lin Tian, Jiang Zhong was one of the poorer students in the ss, and these students had often faced discrimination from Li Min, so naturally, they harbored resentment towards her. They had even given Li Min a nickname, the "witch." But normally, no matter how much they resented Li Min, they didn''t dare to talk back. However, now Lin Tian had done what they could not. Moreover, he had rendered Li Min speechless and forced her to leave in disgrace! "Lin Tian, impressive!" There were exmations of astonishment directed at Lin Tian from the other students, whose grades were average. "Heh heh..." Lin Tian smiled faintly, seeming somewhat indifferent. Lin Tian''s focus was not on these matters anymore, with the help of his Supernatural Ability, such things were merely trivial to him. Right now, the Supernatural Ability was the big deal for Lin Tian! Lin Tian ignored the noisy chatter of his ssmates and began to concentrate his thoughts on the Supernatural Ability. "The Supernatural Ability is still too weak and monotonous at the moment, I only have two powers, and these two don''t seem very strong. How do I increase my abilities and make them stronger..." Propping his chin with his hand, Lin Tian fell into deep thought, "ording to that information, to strengthen a Superpower, one must fulfill the wishes of a beautiful woman and obtain Supernatural Points after fulfilling her wishes in order to enhance the Superpower." "ording to the System, not every woman meets the beauty requirement; is it that a woman has to be verified by the System to be considered beautiful?" Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked around. He was looking at the female ssmates in his ss. Lin Tian''s gaze swept over all the girls in the ss, but his Supernatural Ability System in his mind had no reaction whatsoever. This meant that not a single girl in the ss met the criteria. "Quite choosy, aren''t we? I wonder what kind of girl would meet the criteria!" Sensing this scene, Lin Tian muttered to himself. Before he knew it, ss was over. Li Min had not returned for the entire period. Lin Tian didn''t care that Li Min hadn''te back, he just nced at the schedule on his desk and found that the next ss was biology.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Biology ss?" Seeing the schedule, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face. Lin Tian liked biology ss very much because he was the biology ss representative, and even though his grades were poor in the past, his biology scores had always been quite good. But most importantly, the biology teacher was a famously beautiful woman! A well-known beauty throughout the entire school! Chapter 3 The Beautiful Teacher He Qianqian He Qianqian is a great beauty, and everyone knows it. It is said that He Qianqian was the school beauty even when she was in university. She was the belle of the school during her studies, and now working at the school, she is still the most famous beauty. Many high school students have a crush on her, and not just students, but allegedly many male teachers as well. Even people from outside the school oftene to pursue her. Thus, it is evident how immense He Qianqian''s charm is. He Qianqian''s sses are ones that many want to attend, and sometimes students even skip their own sses to attend hers, all just to catch a glimpse of He Qianqian. Thinking of this, Lin Tian turned around and nced over his shoulder. At some point, three boys had appeared at the back of the ssroom, looking rather nonchnt, and they were not Lin Tian''s ssmates. However, Lin Tian knew that these three had specifically skipped their sses to attend this morning''s session. And why he knew was because he had seen them several times before. Seeing the three boys sitting at the back, Lin Tian curled his lip and turned around, ignoring them. As Lin Tian turned around, the ss bell just happened to ring. With the sound of the bell, students resting outside all ran towards the ssroom. Everyone was very enthusiastic, especially the boys! Because this was the ss of the school goddess! After the bell rang, all the students in the ss had returned to their seats, and most were looking toward the ssroom door. Everyone was looking forward to He Qianqian''s arrival. It wasn''t only the boys who liked He Qianqian''s sses; the girls in the ss were no exception, as her sses were always so lively. Lin Tian also looked towards the ssroom door. His eyes lit up as soon as he looked over! She''s here! He Qianqian was just arriving! Gorgeous! Even though Lin Tian had seen He Qianqian many times, every time he saw her, there was always a gasp of admiration in his heart. Such a beautiful woman. He Qianqian, with her height of 1.7 meters, stood tall among the girls, her height gracing her with long, slender legs. Lin Tian seemed to see the green light that the boys behind him couldn''t hide in their eyes. He Qianqian walked into the ssroom with a smile, then slowly approached the podium, smiling and saying to the students below, "Hello, everyone!" "Hello, Teacher!" The whole ss stood up, their voices loud and clear! "Please sit down," He Qianqian said with a faint smile. Seeing that charming smile, many boys were momentarily distracted. He Qianqian''s allure did not only stem from her outstanding appearance and tall figure, but also from her enchanting smile. He Qianqian''s smile always gave a veryfortable feeling, making it seem as if a breeze was blowing through one''s heart. Extremely soothing. "Thank you, Teacher!" the students replied in unison, then sat down. All the students in the ss sat down, but there was one exception. Lin Tian!N?v(el)B\\jnn Lin Tian was still standing there, somewhat dazedly staring at He Qianqian, with a somewhat strange expression in his eyes. "Lin Tian, why haven''t you sat down yet?" asked He Qianqian, finding it odd that Lin Tian was still standing. "Ah? Oh!" Hearing He Qianqian''s voice, Lin Tian snapped back to his senses and quickly sat down. Even though he sat down, Lin Tian''s expression was still somewhat strange, showing a bit of excitement. There was a response! The voice of the Supernatural Ability System echoed in his mind, as a synthetic voice announced, "A qualified female discovered! A qualified female discovered!" As he heard this, a red marker appeared in Lin Tian''s vision, and the red marker was pointing directly at He Qianqian on the podium. Clearly, the system also considered He Qianqian to be a great beauty who met the criteria. It was because of the sudden synthetic voice in his mind that Lin Tian had been momentarily stunned. "It''s activated by Teacher He. But that''s to be expected; if Teacher He isn''t considered a beauty, then there are no beauties in this world!" Lin Tian murmured to himself as he slowly sat down. Throughout the lesson, Lin Tian appeared to be somewhat distracted, as if his soul wasn''t quite there. asionally, he would sneak a nce at He Qianqian on the podium. Lin Tianyi..." In the midst of Lin Tian''s daydreaming, the ss passed by before he knew it. ss was over. "Alright, ss is dismissed, everyone. We''ll continue with the rest next time," said He Qianqian, as she began to pack up her books. Watching He Qianqian packing up her books to leave, Lin Tian sat in his seat, looking somewhat hesitant about how to make the first move. In order to receive a mission from He Qianqian, he would inevitably have to interact with her. Just as Lin Tian was pondering his next move, He Qianqian, who had already picked up her books and walked to the ssroom door, suddenly turned around and gestured to Lin Tian, "Lin Tian,e here for a moment!" "Ah?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled, then quickly came back to his senses and rushed towards He Qianqian. He had just been thinking about how to make the first contact, and unexpectedly, the opportunity had arrived. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, He Qianqian, with her books in her arms, smiled and said, "Let''s walk and talk!" "Yeah!" Lin Tian responded and followed her. As He Qianqian and Lin Tian walked shoulder to shoulder away from the ssroom, the ssroom, which had been rtively quiet, suddenly became noisy. "Damn it! How can Lin Tian be so lucky, being called over by Teacher He again!" "Just can''t figure out why Teacher He likes him so much when his grades are that bad!" This was theint of the boys who were good at their studies in the ss. Every time He Qianqian called Lin Tian aside alone, these boys were filled with grievances. Chapter 4 The Bet Lin Tian was unaware of the murmurs of the ssmates behind him, and even if he had been, he wouldn''t have cared. At that moment, he was walking shoulder to shoulder with He Qianqian down the corridor. Lin Tian and He Qianqian were very close, with just a small gap separating their shoulders. As he drew near to He Qianqian, a faint fragrance gently wafted into Lin Tian''s nostrils. It was the scent of a woman! It was fresh, faint, just like He Qianqian herself. "It smells good!" Lin Tian said, closing his eyes slightly in a state of bliss.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "What did you say?" He Qianqian turned her head slightly to look at Lin Tian, her eyes showing some confusion. "I said the scent on the teacher is really nice, very fragrant!" Lin Tian opened his eyes and said with a teasing smile. Hearing this, He Qianqian was momentarily stunned, then scolded with augh, "What are you talking about, you little kid!" Lin Tian pouted but didn''t respond. After scolding Lin Tian, He Qianqian looked at him seriously, "Lin Tian, I heard you had an argument with Teacher Linst ss? And even made her run off?" "You know about it?" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian somewhat stunned, then noticed the math book in her arms and had a moment of realization, understanding that it must have been Li Min who asked her to pick up the book. Seeing that He Qianqian already knew, Lin Tian didn''t try to hide it, and pouted, "It''s not my fault, she called me a loser first, and even said she''d apologize to me if I solved the problem, but she still hasn''t apologized yet!" Lin Tian looked somewhat unconvinced, not feeling he had done anything wrong. Hearing this, He Qianqian fell silent. He Qianqian knew that what Lin Tian said was mostly true because, although his grades were poor, this kid had never lied to her. Loser, apologize! With her understanding of Li Min, He Qianqian fully believed that Li Min could have said those things. Because Li Min always disliked the underperformers in ss, feeling that they ruined everything like a rat spoiling the whole soup. However, He Qianqian didn''t think so; she believed that those underperformers were very smart, onlycking proper guidance. Just like Lin Tian, ever since he had be the ss representative, his biology grades had always been quite decent, obviously indicating an educational issue. But regarding other teachers, she couldn''t say much. After being silent for a while and understanding the situation, He Qianqian turned to Lin Tian slightly and said, "Even if it''s not your fault, you shouldn''t talk back so much, she is, after all, your teacher." "I didn''t say anything, I just said I''m not a loser, I need her apology, is that wrong? Can teachers only ever be right?" Lin Tian seemed somewhat indignant as he retorted. Hearing this, He Qianqian didn''t respond. In her heart, she agreed more with Lin Tian''s words, but that was something He Qianqian couldn''t express. So after another moment of silence, He Qianqian looked up and smiled, "Alright, let''s leave it at that for now, you go back first." But upon hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian didn''t leave. Instead, he grinned and asked, "Teacher He, what''s your wish?" "A wish?" He Qianqian was startled, thenughing, tapped Lin Tian''s forehead with her slender, jade-like finger and scolded, "Me? My wish is that you study hard!" Study hard! Hearing this wish, Lin Tian focused his attention on the Supernatural Ability System in his mind. But there was no reaction! Clearly, He Qianqian''s wish was not viable! It wasn''t just any wish that would do. Since that wish was not viable, Lin Tian''s eyes shifted, and he said with a chuckle, "Pick another wish, um..." saying this, Lin Tian tilted his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and said with augh, "You make a wish, and if I achieve it, you give me a kiss!" A kiss! Hearing this, He Qianqian was stunned, finally understanding what was going on. He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian somewhat helplessly and shook her head, "What are you thinking, you rascal!" "Say it, is it possible?" Lin Tian was not ready to give up. He Qianqian shook her head with a hint of resignation, "Alright, if you can get first ce in your grade on the next monthly test, I will kiss you!" "Really?" "Really!" After speaking, He Qianqian shook her head again in resignation, no longer paying attention to Lin Tian, and walked away quickly. As she walked, He Qianqian muttered to herself, "What is this little guy thinking? Am I being too nice to him..." Seeing He Qianqian walking away quickly, Lin Tian didn''t follow but remained where he was. At that moment, Lin Tian''s attention was already focused on the Supernatural Ability System in his mind. A synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "He Qianqian''s first wish: to rank first in the monthly test. Reward forpleting the mission: Earn 3 Supernatural Points." Chapter 5 First in the Grade? Just Childs Play! It worked! Lin Tian pped his hand down sharply, his face showing signs of excitement. A confident smile appeared on his face, "Being first in the grade, no big deal!" As he spoke, Lin Tian lifted his head again, looking in the direction where He Qianqian had left. By this time, He Qianqian had already reached the staircase and was about to go down. But just as He Qianqian was about to descend the stairs, a young man walked out from the ssroom beside her, called her, and then the two of them walked down shoulder to shoulder.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Looking at the two of them, they obviously had a close rtionship. Seeing this young man, Lin Tian''s face darkened, clearly upset. This young man was He Qianqian''s boyfriend, Wang Feng. Wang Feng was also a teacher at the school, and it was said that he graduated from the same school as He Qianqian. Wang Feng was six feet tall, well-proportioned, and handsome, which in others'' eyes made a perfect match. Although Lin Tian had been somewhat irritated by Wang Feng before, he hadn''t had other ideas, but now it was different. With a superpower, Lin Tian had started to have other thoughts about He Qianqian. So, seeing He Qianqian and Wang Feng together naturally irritated him a bit. "Hmph!" Lin Tian watched He Qianqian and Wang Feng walking down shoulder to shoulder, his mood a bit sullen, he snorted coldly, turned, and walked back to the ssroom. ** Wang Feng didn''t know that his being together with He Qianqian was making Lin Tian ufortable, but even if he did know, he wouldn''t care. At this time, Wang Feng was also a bit irked. As he walked with He Qianqian toward the staircase exit, he asked with a somewhat unpleasant expression, "Howe you were so close with that student just now?" "What''s the matter?" He Qianqian looked at Wang Feng somewhat nkly, then came back to her senses, and said indifferently, "He''s just a kid. Why do you care so much?" "A kid, where is he just a kid!" Seeing He Qianqian''s indifferent look, Wang Feng instantly became jealous, visibly upset, "He''s not just a kid; those kids are seventeen or eighteen years old, their hormones are kicking in, and it''s their puberty. Be careful." "You''re overthinking it! But¡­" At this point, He Qianqian paused for a moment. "What is it?" Seeing He Qianqian''s expression, Wang Feng quickly asked. "But I did make a bet with that student!" "What bet?" Hearing that she had made a bet with a student made Wang Feng even more irked. "He said if he ranked first in the grade, I would give him a kiss!" He Qianqian said cheerfully, seemingly unconcerned. "You agreed?" Wang Feng looked very concerned, his expression very upset. "I agreed!" He Qianqian nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, unconcernedly saying, "You know his grades. Even in our ss, he''s at the bottom, let alone in the grade. Ranking first is simply impossible!" Thinking of Lin Tian''s grades, Wang Feng felt a bit relieved, but then he immediately cautioned, "Don''t make such bets in the future, it''s clear from this bet that kid is up to no good! Be careful with him from now on." He Qianqian shrugged helplessly, her shoulders slumping a bit as she agreed reluctantly, "Alright, I''ll listen to you, you jealous jar!" ** Although seeing He Qianqian and Wang Feng together irked Lin Tian, he quickly adjusted himself. He believed that He Qianqian would definitely be his woman! Having adjusted his mindset, Lin Tian regained his confident demeanor by the time he reached the door. Upon entering the ssroom and walking back to his seat, several boys immediately gathered around him. "Lin Tian, what did Ms. He want with you? Can you bring me along next time?" "Yeah, yeah!" The other ssmates chimed in. "Nothing much, just made a bet with her!" Lin Tian said somewhat indifferently. "What bet?" Hearing this, the curiosity of those around him was piqued, and they asked eagerly. Lin Tian didn''t immediately respond, but instead slightly lifted his head, looked at the expectant eyes around him, and slowly said, "I told her that in the next monthly test, I''m going to rank first in the grade!" First in the grade! Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, somewhat dazed. After a few seconds, one boy hesitantly asked, "What did you say, what rank are you aiming for in the monthly test?" "First, in, the, grade!" Lin Tian enunciated each word. First in the grade! This time, the ssmates around him were sure they hadn''t misunderstood! First in the grade! Lin Tian actually said he was going to rank first in the grade! What a joke! Hearing this, the surrounding ssmates allughed, pointing at Lin Tian with amused expressions, "Lin Tian, I didn''t mishear, did I? You actually said you''re going to rank first in the grade! Stop joking!" "That''s really exaggerated!" "What a big talker!" ... In just a moment, the whole ss knew about Lin Tian''s bet with He Qianqian and that Lin Tian was aiming to rank first in the uing monthly test. Everyone found it hrious! Lin Tian ranking first in the grade? What a joke! If he ranks first, then I''m the top scorer of the college entrance exam! Everyone was dismissive! Some even thought Lin Tian was crazy! It wasn''t that they looked down on Lin Tian, but they were all too familiar with his usual grades. Moreover, the monthly test was tomorrow. How could a day''s time turn a bottom-ranked student into the top of the grade? Only a miracle could do that! Impossible! This was impossible! That was everyone''s thought. Lin Tian was well aware of everyone''s thoughts, but he didn''t exin. Instead, he began to silently pull out his books and study. As he flipped through the books, the knowledge from the pages instantly entered his mind! Photographic memory! And rapidly understanding! Lin Tian absorbed the knowledge from the books like a sponge. Feeling the knowledge rapidly increasing in his mind, Lin Tian was filled with confidence! The monthly test? Child''s y! Chapter 6 Impossible Lin Tian did not pay attention to the ssmates'' ridicule, he just quietly read books, frantically absorbing the knowledge from them. The third ss was a Chinesenguage ss, which Lin Tian did not listen to at all, he just kept reading by himself. The Chinesenguage teacher noticed that Lin Tian was not listening to the ss, but he did not pay it any mind. With the college entrance examination only three months away, the teacher had almost given up on a poor student like him. Unless it was too much, he simply would not bother. The teacher not paying attention to him actually suited Lin Tian just fine. By the time the third ss was over, Lin Tian had already studied all the textbooks from grades ten to twelve once over. At this point, Lin Tian hadpletely memorized the contents of those textbooks in his mind, and he had understood them as well. But, afraid of forgetting, Lin Tian still nned to review everything again. So, while others went to rest after the third ss, Lin Tian continued to read at his desk. Ling Ling¡­ Before he knew it, the bell for the fourth ss had already rung. Hearing the bell, Lin Tian nced at the schedule on the desk and discovered that this ss was still a biology lesson. "It''s Teacher He''s ss!" With that thought, Lin Tian raised his head and looked towards the ssroom door. No sooner had he raised his head than he saw He Qianqian, dressed in white, walking into the ssroom with a smile. Stand up, ss begins, everything as usual. This ss, Lin Tian did not get too distracted and continued to read as he had done in the previous ss. He continued to study.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om He had to ensure that he had fully learned everything and would not forget it! While He Qianqian was lecturing above, Lin Tian was silently studying below. As time passed by, when there were ten minutes left in the ss, He Qianqian had already finished exining today''s key points. Seeing that she had finished the key points, He Qianqian smiled at the students below and said, "That''s it for today''s ss. There are ten minutes left, you can all review on your own for a while!" The lesson was over, but not all the students began to quietly review as He Qianqian had suggested. At this point, someone thought of the bet between Lin Tian and He Qianqian. Thinking of the bet, someone suddenly asked He Qianqian loudly, "Teacher He, I heard Lin Tian say he made a bet with you?" The bet between Lin Tian and Teacher He! Upon hearing this topic, all the students raised their heads and looked at He Qianqian, showing great interest in such a juicy topic. They all knew that Lin Tian had boasted about scoring first in the grade. "A bet?" Upon hearing this, He Qianqian was startled, and after a moment, she came to her senses and looked at the students below with a smiling face, "Yes, I made a bet with Lin Tian. I told him that if he could score first in the grade, I would give him a kiss!" "Oh!" Hearing this, the male students below screamed! A kiss! Just the thought was exciting! That would be a kiss from a goddess! Seeing the screaming and excitement from the students below, He Qianqian yfully blinked and said, "If any of you can score first in the monthly exam, I will give someone a kiss too!" "Oh!" Instantly, a chorus of screams rose from below! But after screaming for a while, a chorus of sighs then arose from below. Difficult! Too difficult! It was virtually impossible! The ss Lin Tian was in was a lower-level ss. Usually, the first rank in their ss during the monthly exam would only be around two hundredth in the entire grade. To be the first rank in the grade¡­ impossible! Impossible for anyone in the ss! "Teacher, can two hundredth ce do?" The speaker was a boy full of e. He had one of the top scores in the ss, but his best ranking was around two hundredth in the grade. At this time, the e-faced boy was looking expectantly at He Qianqian on the podium, really hoping for a kiss. "Not possible!" He Qianqian smiled and shook her head. "Ah!" Hearing this, a chorus of sighs arose from below: "It''s simply impossible!" "Exactly, how could it be possible!" He Qianqian looked at the chorus of sighs arising from below with a smiling face and remained silent. Possible, of course it was not possible. If it were, why would she agree to such a condition? Thinking this, He Qianqian nced at Lin Tian. He Qianqian noticed that Lin Tian was currently looking down at his book, seemingly unaffected by the outside noise. From He Qianqian''s angle, she could clearly see that Lin Tian was reading a math book. Seeing Lin Tian studying seriously, a hint of admiration shed in He Qianqian''s eyes, but no matter what, she did not believe Lin Tian would be first in the grade! Impossible, not a chance at all! At this moment, Lin Tian was looking down at his book, ignoring the outsidemotion. He naturally heard the discussions of his ssmates, and he knew what they said was deemed impossible. He even heard someone calling him a madman, iming how could he possibly score first in the grade. Regarding these remarks, Lin Tian did not mind, he just silently read his book. Time passed little by little as Lin Tian read his book, and soon ten minutes were up. Ding ding¡­ With the bell ringing, school was dismissed. Hearing the bell, Lin Tian did not stop reading, he continued to look at his book. Only when almost everyone had left the ssroom did Lin Tian finally get up. As Lin Tian stood up, he silently recalled the knowledge in his mind. Lin Tian found that, through another round of review, he had remembered the information even more solidly. Chapter 7 He Wants to Be the Top Student in the Grade? Ridiculous! As he left the ssroom, Lin Tianyi walked toward the bike shed while continuing to silently recall the knowledge from his textbooks in his mind. Upon finding his bicycle, Lin Tianyi rode home while recalling the content of the books. Twenty minutester, upon reaching the entrance to his residentialplex at home, Lin Tianyi collected his thoughts, intending to rest a bit first. Lin Tianyi''s residentialplex was named Green Light District. Just as he parked his bicycle, he saw his younger sister also returning home on her bike. "Brother!" Seeing her brother, Lin Fang pedaled faster toward him, then excitedly stopped her bike next to Lin Tianyi, "Brother, I''ve heard some gossip!" "What gossip?" Lin Tianyi nced at his sister, locked up his bike, and started walking upstairs. "It''s about you!" Lin Fang quickly locked up her bike and caught up with Lin Tianyi, smiling, "I heard a rumor that you made a bet with that beautiful teacher, Miss He, that if you get first ce in the monthly test, Miss He will kiss you!" Hearing this, Lin Tianyi paused slightly, quite surprised, as he hadn''t expected the news to spread so quickly. However, soon after, Lin Tianyi somewhat realized that being able to receive a kiss from He Qianqian was a dream for many of the school''s introverted boys. Such rumors naturally spread fast. After pausing for a moment, Lin Tianyi continued walking forward, ignoring Lin Fang. Undeterred by her brother''s disregard, Lin Fangughed, "This rumor is obviously fake. I don''t even know how your name got involved. You scoring first in the grade, don''t make meugh. You''re not that foolish!" Lin Fang stated matter-of-factly. Hearing this, Lin Tianyi paused slightly again, turned his head, and seriously looked at Lin Fang, "That''s true, I really do want to score first in the grade!" "What?" Hearing this, Lin Fang was stunned, freezing on the spot. After saying this, Lin Tianyi ignored his stunned sister and continued walking forward. After a few seconds of shock, Lin Fang came back to her senses and quickly caught up with Lin Tianyi, looking at him in disbelief, "Brother, did I hear you wrong, you want to score first in the grade?" "What''s wrong? Is it impossible?" Lin Tianyi nced at Lin Fang and continued walking forward expressionlessly. Seeing her brother walking away, Lin Fang hurriedly followed, watching him in disbelief, "Brother, are you kidding? You scoring first in the grade! Talk about your score reaching above three hundred first!" Lin Fang thought her brother had gone mad! To say such a thing!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om First in the grade? Oh, my god! Lin Tianyi paid no attention to his crying sister, stopped, and at that moment, he had reached the doorstep of his home. After reaching the front door, Lin Tianyi took out his keys and walked in. Lin Tianyi paid no attention to his sister, who was still babbling behind him, and walked inside on his own. Upon returning home, after greeting his mother in the kitchen, Lin Tianyi went straight to his room. Seeing Lin Tianyi walking in, Lin Fang followed him. Unlike Lin Tianyi, upon returning home Lin Fang immediately went to find her mother, who was cooking in the kitchen. Soon Lin Fang''s voice could be heard from the kitchen. "Mom, guess what, Brother said he''s going to score first in the grade..." Even though Lin Tianyi was back in his room, he could still hear the voices outside since he hadn''t closed his door, including the conversation in the kitchen. Hearing that his sister had just told their mother about it directly, Lin Tianyi pursed his lips, looking rather indifferent. At that moment, Lin Tianyi''s mother, Shi Qing''s voice came from the kitchen, "Him, first in the grade? I''d be grateful if he could just score within the top three hundred!" As for the bet, Shi Qing didn''t care at all. Her son scoring first in the grade? The thought made Shi Qing unconsciously shake her head! ** After eating, he rested for a while. The afternoon was filled with more sses. During the afternoon, Lin Tianyi continued reading! After three afternoon sses, Lin Tianyi had revised the high school textbooks three times! With three rounds of revision, Lin Tianyi had mastered the material thoroughly. "Tonight, I should do some practice problems," Lin Tianyi muttered to himself as he pushed his bicycle toward the school gate. Now Lin Tianyi needed to go home for dinner, and then he had an evening self-study session. ** After dinner, as Lin Tianyi parked his bike and walked toward the ssroom, he noticed that from time to time, students on the road pointed at him. A whisper of murmurs reached Lin Tianyi''s ears. "See that guy? He said he''s going to score first in the grade, but usually, he doesn''t even score above three hundred." "Out of his league!" "He dares to say that and isn''t ashamed?" "He''s the one who made the bet with Miss He, wonder where he got the courage!" "He thinks he can score first in the grade? What a joke!" ... Lin Tianyi paid no attention to these vague mocking sounds, instead, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips as he muttered under his breath, "Foolish!" During the evening study session, Lin Tianyi stopped reading and started working on test papers. The papers Lin Tianyi was doing were from previous years'' actual exams. After spending the entire evening, Lin Tianyi finishedst year''s college entrance examination papers and graded them himself. 670 points! That was the score Lin Tianyi gave himself! And that score didn''t even include the marks for the Chinese essay! That means even if Lin Tianyi scored only 30 points on his Chinese essay, adding that thirty, his total score could reach 700 points! 30 points for a 60-point essay is definitely attainable. That means Lin Tianyi could definitely achieve 700 points! Seven hundred points, whilest year''s top college entrance exam score was just over 690! That means if Lin Tianyi took this answer sheet tost year''s exam, he would have been the top scorer! And that''s a certainty! Seeing this score, Lin Tianyi was filled with confidence! The monthly test, no pressure at all! Tomorrow is the monthly test, and Lin Tianyi started looking forward to it! Looking forward to He Qianqian''s sweet kiss¡­ Chapter 8 the first place is him? How is that possible? The next day, Lin Tian didn''t go to school as early as usual, today he just needed to be there before eight o''clock. Because today was the time for the monthly exam. The monthly exams started at eight o''clock in the morning, with two subjects in the morning, one in the afternoon, and another one in the evening. At eight o''clock in the morning, Lin Tian arrived at the examination room on time. The examination room seemed somewhat solemn. Although this was just a monthly exam, since it was close to the college entrance exam, the setup of the examination room was ording to the standards of the college entrance exam. A ssroom held no more than thirty people. Ding ding... As the bell rang, everyone in the examination room started to write, making the room very quiet as everyone was immersed in their work. Looking at the math paper in his hands, Lin Tian didn''t start writing immediately but instead flipped through the pages. As he reviewed the test paper, Lin Tian became much more relieved! The questions were all very simple, with absolutely no difficulty. Upon seeing those questions, solutions immediately came to mind for Lin Tian, very clearly. The test paper wasn''t difficult, and Lin Tian revealed a confident smile on his face. Taking a deep breath, he began to write his name. Whoosh~! After writing his name, Lin Tian started to write quickly on the test paper. Lin Tian''s answering speed was very fast; some questions he knew the answers to at a nce and filled them in directly, but of course, some still needed a bit of thought. But no matter what, there was not a single question that could stump him! Whoosh~! Lin Tian answered with ease, and in just forty minutes, he had finished the test paper! After finishing the test, Lin Tian let out a sigh and checked his answers again. No mistakes! Basically no mistakes! He checked once, then again, and it was after checking three times that Lin Tian finally felt at ease. After checking three times, Lin Tian no longer felt like checking and began to wait. Sitting in his chair somewhat bored, Lin Tian turned his head slightly and noticed that the other students present were all still engrossed in their own papers, none of them having finished like he had. After waiting a while and feeling bored, Lin Tian stood up to submit his test. Whoosh~! As Lin Tian stood up, his chair began to move, producing a noise. The sound of the moving chair startled the students who were taking the exam, causing them to look up at Lin Tian. They then realized that Lin Tian was actually handing in his paper. He''s already finished? Some people were astonished! Others were dismissive! Those who scoffed knew Lin Tian, and they believed that he must have not been able to finish and was handing in early. As Lin Tian handed in his paper and walked out of the ssroom, he passed by someone''s desk and faintly heard the person mutter, "Still aiming to be the first in the grade, idiot!" Hearing this, Lin Tian paused, took a slight step back, looked at the person, and leaned forward slightly, "You''re the idiot!" After cursing, Lin Tian snorted coldly and walked away with measured steps. "You..." The person was a bit angry, wanting to stand up and scold him, but remembering that they were in an examination room, he held back and could only watch Lin Tian leave arrogantly. When Lin Tian stepped out of the ssroom, the hallway was still empty; no other students hade out yet. "I''ll take a stroll!" Since he still had another subject in the morning, Lin Tian couldn''t go home early, so he decided to wander around the campus instead. Next were English, Chinese, and Science Comprehensive... In one day, he finished all four subjects. Lin Tian handed in early for these four exams, and he found that the questions were already quite easy for him. Being the first in his grade for the monthly exam no longer felt like any pressure! Especially after finishing the exams, Lin Tian once again affirmed his own thoughts! The next day proceeded with regr sses as Lin Tian waited for the exam results. One more day, and the results would be avable tomorrow. Another day passed by, and the following noon, Lin Tian noticed a crowd of people gathered around the ckboard at the base of the teaching building. Seeing so many onlookers in front of the ckboard, Lin Tian quickened his pace and walked over. Lin Tian knew that the results of the monthly exams hade out. After each monthly exam, the school would post the names of the top two hundred students on the ckboard at the front of the teaching building. Before reaching the ckboard, Lin Tian could hear the murmurs of the onlooking students, "Lin Tian, who is that?" "Yeah? Who is this? I''ve never heard of him!" "He actually scored 704? Is that a mistake?" someone in the crowd eximed. "Indeed, the second cer Leng Bing only got 650! A full fifty points higher! That''s too exaggerated!" "Who is Lin Tian? I''ve never heard of him!" "Do you guys remember the gossip from a few days ago? It said that a student from the bottom ss bet with Teacher He that if he got first in the grade, Teacher He would kiss him!" "Yeah, so what?" Many people had heard this gossip, but they hadn''t paid much attention to it. Thinking of this, at this moment someone brought it up, some incredulously looked at him and said, "You''re not suggesting that the person from the bottom ss is Lin Tian, are you?" "Right, that''s the one called Lin Tian!" "Damn! Are you kidding me? He must have cheated!" "How can that guy possibly be the top of the grade!" Voices of dissatisfaction and disbelief echoed through the crowd. Hearing these voices, Lin Tian''s steps faltered slightly, and a confident smile appeared on his face, "It''s done! No need to look!" Lin Tian muttered to himself quietly and headed briskly to the ssroom. There was no need to go and see, he was surely the top of the grade! "Really looking forward to Teacher He''s fragrant kiss!" Thinking of He Qianqian''s rosy cherry lips, Lin Tian felt somewhat excited.N?v(el)B\\jnn He began to calcte whether he had a ss with He Qianqian that afternoon. Upon calcting, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, the very first ss was He Qianqian''s biology. Thinking of this, Lin Tian could hardly wait to head to the ssroom. Chapter 9 Im the First! As Lin Tian hurried towards the ssroom, a person ran ahead of him into the ssroom. That was Lin Tian''s ssmate, Wang Zhong. Wang Zhong with a whoosh charged into the ssroom, and directly sprinted to the lectern. "p p!" Watching the ssmates below chatting and reading, Wang Zhong pped his hands sharply. Hearing the pping sound from the lectern, all the students below raised their heads to look up at the lectern. After gathering the attention of the students below, Wang Zhong seemed a bit exaggerated as he waved his hands, "ssmates, the names of the top two hundred students from the monthly exam have been announced!" "Announced? If it''s announced, then it''s announced, so what!" Many of the students below spoke indifferently upon hearing this topic. Everyone knew their own situations and that the names of the top two hundred students from the monthly exam would be posted on the ckboard of the teaching building this afternoon. But even though they knew, not many people in the ss were concerned because this was a poor-performing ss; there was hardly anyone within the top two hundred. If it didn''t concern them, they naturally wouldn''t care.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Seeing the indifferent attitude of the students below, Wang Zhong got anxious and shouted, "This time it''s different, do you know who the first ce is this time?" "Who could it be, if not Leng Bing? It couldn''t possibly be Lin Tian, could it!" A boy below shouted somewhat impatiently. Who the first ce was? There was no need to ask, it was definitely Leng Bing; she had dominated the first ce for a long time. Hearing what the boy said, Wang Zhong with a smack hit the lectern forcefully and shouted, "That''s right! It is Lin Tian who''s the first ce, 704 points, a full 50 points ahead of Leng Bing!" "Ah?" "Ah?" A chorus of astonishment echoed through the room. Stunned for a moment, incredulous voices rose in the ssroom, "Impossible, how could that loser Lin Tian score 700? If he could, I''d go **** myself!" "Exactly, exactly! How could that be possible!" A wave of skeptical voices filled the air. "It''s true! It''s true!" Wang Zhong shouted, "I just saw it downstairs, if you don''t believe it, you can go see for yourselves!" "Impossible! Completely impossible!" Everyone was in disbelief. Hearing Wang Zhong''s words, people immediately got up, prepared to go out. They wanted to see for themselves if it was true! They knew Lin Tian''s academic performance too well, how could it possibly reach seven hundred points. Instantly, a group of students was ready to leave the ssroom. But before they could step out, a figure suddenly appeared at the ssroom door¡ªLin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian, the ssmates'' eyes brightened, and they gathered around him, eagerly asking, "Lin Tian, we heard you got first in the grade? Is it true or false?" "Yeah, is it true?" The ssmates asked one after another. Noticing everyone''s gazes, Lin Tian''s eyes swept across their faces and he nodded slightly, "Of course!" His tone was very calm. He wasn''t surprised by the result at all! But Lin Tian not being surprised didn''t stop others from being astonished! "Impossible!" Someone immediately contradicted him, "You got first ce? What kind of international joke is that!" "If you don''t believe it, then forget it!" Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, pushed through the crowd with his hand, and walked in with aposed expression. "Impossible!" Despite Lin Tian''s affirmative answer, most people still didn''t believe it. Thinking it over, these people all left the ssroom, running downstairs. They wanted to see on the ckboard downstairs if Lin Tian really did achieve first ce. ** Meanwhile, in the teachers'' office on the other side, there was also a lively atmosphere. "How did this Lin Tian score so well? Could he have cheated?" A teacher questioned. "Impossible, didn''t we discuss it this morning? Those test papers were justposed by us, some were even made the same day as the exam, cheating is impossible!" A teacher immediately countered. As for whether Lin Tian cheated or not, the oue was actually already determined in the morning. And that oue was that it was impossible! Because the monthly test papers were collectivelypiled by the teachers, some were even written in the morning and taken in the afternoon. There was no possibility of any leaks. As for the possibility of Lin Tian cheating with a book, that was virtually impossible as well because the score he got was too good, a 700. Even if some tried to copy, they couldn''t reach that score. Because this was a science subject, it wasn''t just about rote memorization. After discussing it in the morning, although the result was somewhat unbelievable, everyone still agreed that Lin Tian had done the test on his own! At that moment, He Qianqian was in the office, holding Lin Tian''s biology test paper in her hand. This biology test paper was basically wless. Lin Tian''s handwriting wasn''t pretty, but his answering was very meticulous. Looking at this nearly perfect test paper, a trace of doubt shed in He Qianqian''s eyes. She thought about the Lin Tian she knew, the somewhat mischievous boy, and his confident smile. After a moment of silence, He Qianqian looked up at the discussing teachers and said, "Maybe he really is that good. Maybe he just doesn''t like to show off normally!" "Who would hide their abilities for no reason!" someone retorted. "But how do you exin it then?" "Let''s wait for the next monthly test. If his scores are still good next time, then it really proves that he is indeed that good!" ... Watching the teachers in the office discuss, He Qianqian didn''t speak; she suddenly felt a new sense of curiosity about Lin Tian. This student seemed not as simple as she had imagined. As He Qianqian was deep in thought, the bell for ss suddenly rang. Hearing the bell, He Qianqian collected her thoughts, picked up the test paper and textbook, and prepared for ss. As He Qianqian was leaving the teacher''s office, on the other side, Wang Feng also came out of the ssroom office with test papers in hand. "Qianqian!" Seeing He Qianqian, Wang Feng hurriedly followed her. Having caught up to He Qianqian, Wang Feng nced at her and said, "I heard Lin Tian ranked first in your ss?" "Yes!" He Qianqian nodded. "You..." Wang Feng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he seemed hesitant. Noticing Wang Feng''s hesitation, He Qianqian turned her head and looked at him with curiosity, "Just say what you want to say." "You, you wouldn''t really kiss him, would you?" Wang Feng looked at He Qianqian with some concern. "Ah?" Hearing this, He Qianqian was taken aback, then she remembered something. She had been so absorbed by the shock of Lin Tian getting first ce that she had almost forgotten about the bet. Only now did she remember. After a pause, He Qianqian shook her head andughed, "How could I?" "That''s good to hear!" Wang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. He would have been furious if he knew that He Qianqian had actually kissed Lin Tian. ** Lingling¡­ With the ringing of the ss bell, all the students who had been surrounding Lin Tian returned to their seats. The ones who didn''t believe Lin Tian had scored first finally gave up when they saw the names posted on the ckboard. Then these students gathered around Lin Tian. Asking all sorts of questions. Asking if he cheated. Asking what was going on. Everyone was shocked that Lin Tian had achieved the first ce, as if they had seen two suns appearing in the sky all of a sudden. Lin Tian just casually dealt with them, waiting for the ss to start. As the bell for ss rang, Lin Tian looked towards the ssroom door. This ss was He Qianqian''s, and she would be arriving soon. Lingling¡­ When the second bell sounded, the figure of He Qianqian appeared at the ssroom door¡­ Chapter 10 Seeing the teacher arrive, the students, who had been whispering amongst themselves, fell silent and turned their eyes towards He Qianqian entering with a stack of test papers in hand. Noticing the students'' gaze, He Qianqian smiled slightly and walked in, cradling the test papers in her arms. Once He Qianqian entered the ssroom, she headed straight for the podium. "Good morning, everyone!" He Qianqian''s face broke into a charming smile. "Good morning, Teacher!" The entire ss stood up collectively. "Alright, sit down, everyone," He Qianqian said with a smile, pressing down with her hand. "Thank you, Teacher!" After all the students had taken their seats, He Qianqian looked down briefly at the test papers on the lecture desk, then raised her head and nced over the ss. At this moment, all eyes were on He Qianqian. Meeting the students'' gaze, He Qianqian smiled again and then fixed her eyes on Lin Tian. At that time, Lin Tian was also looking at her. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, He Qianqian imperceptibly nodded her head and then looked down at the test papers on the lectern with a smile, "As you all know, the results of this month''s exam havee out..." "We know, Lin Tian even got first ce! Top in the entire grade!" Before He Qianqian could finish, a student yelled out from below. "Right!" After that student spoke, others joined in response. Everyone was quite shocked by Lin Tian''s leap from being one of the weakest students to the top of the grade, and their reactions were a bit intense. Watching the ssroom suddenly be noisy, He Qianqian smiled slightly, waited a moment, and then pressed down gently with her tender hand, signaling for the students to quiet down a bit. The students were very obedient towards He Qianqian, and upon seeing her gesture, the discussing students quieted down, looking towards He Qianqian. Seeing the whole ss''s attention on her, He Qianqian smiled and said, "Honestly, I was also very surprised by Lin Tian''s excellent performance. Now, let''s have Lin Tiane up and give an eptance speech." Saying so, He Qianqian began to p her hands. "p, p..." Seeing He Qianqian start pping, the entire ssroom joined in, and apuse filled the room. "Uh..." Listening to the ceaseless apuse filling the ssroom, Lin Tian was a bit dazed. He hadn''t expected this to happen. However, after a moment''s hesitation, Lin Tian wasn''t timid. He stood up, looked around at the ssmates watching him, and confidently said, "Before ss, many students asked me if I cheated, otherwise, how could I have scored so well! But now..." At this point, Lin Tian paused slightly, his head tilted up slightly, his face brimming with a confident smile, "But now I want to say I didn''t cheat. I got first ce in this month''s exam, and I will also be the first in the next monthly exam! When I say I will, I will!" Lin Tian''s somewhat domineering words shocked the entire ss, which was followed by a wave of scornful sounds. "Pfft! You, really? Stop bragging!" The speaker was a student who previously ranked among the top of the ss. "You''re blowing your own trumpet way too much! Get real!" ... A wave of disdainful and rebutting sounds erupted in the ssroom. Most students in the ss still believed that Lin Tian had cheated to obtain such good results; they simply couldn''t believe he was truly that skilled. In the face of his ssmates'' ridicule, Lin Tian just raised his head, his face full of confidence, as if he hadn''t heard a word. "p, p!" He Qianqian pped her hands, breaking through the chattering from below. When the students calmed down, He Qianqian turned her gaze towards Lin Tian. Looking at Lin Tian, He Qianqian''s face revealed a captivating smile, "It''s good to have confidence, and we should have faith in others. I certainly believe in him!" Saying that, He Qianqian smiled faintly at Lin Tian, then pressed her hand down to signal him to take his seat. After Lin Tian sat down, He Qianqian looked down at the test papers in her hands again and began, "Next, I will distribute the test papers, Lin Bai 68 points..." "Teacher!" Before He Qianqian could finish, a student''s voice interrupted from below. "What is it?" He Qianqian raised her head to look at the student who spoke. His name was Wang Zhong. With He Qianqian looking at him, Wang Zhong called out, "Teacher He, didn''t you say that if Lin Tian got first ce, you would give him a kiss?" "Yeah, yeah!" Seeing Wang Zhong speak up, a chorus of agreement rose from the students below. In contrast to the tedious test papers, the students were more inclined to witness such juicy gossip! "Uh..." Facing the collective agreement of the students, He Qianqian was taken aback, her face tinged with embarrassment, "That was just a joke! You can''t take it seriously!" "Tsk!" "Going back on your word!" A wave of dissatisfaction arose from below, especially loud from the boys. Seeing a goddess''s kiss was what many were looking forward to, even if it wasn''t with them, it was still thrilling! Do other sses have such juicy gossip? "Teacher, just one kiss! Just one, please!" A plea rose from the students, even the girls weren''t excluded. They too wanted to see such gossip unfold. "Kiss! Kiss!" Then the students began chanting in unison, pping their hands while at it!N?v(el)B\\jnn "Uh..." Seeing the somewhat frenzied students below, He Qianqian was a bit flustered,pletely unprepared for such a turn of events. Not only was He Qianqian startled, but Lin Tian was also a bit taken aback. "Go on!" When Lin Tian was somewhat in a daze, his deskmate, Wang Gang, pushed him out. "Ah!" Lin Tian was startled and was pushed out of his seat, standing in the corridor. Standing in the corridor, Lin Tian was a bit dazed. After a moment, he looked up at He Qianqian on the podium. Biting his teeth, Lin Tian walked straight towards the podium. "Oh! Oh!" As soon as they saw Lin Tian take the initiative, a scream erupted from below! Thrilling! Too thrilling! They never expected Lin Tian to dare to step forward proactively. Seeing Lin Tian walking towards her, He Qianqian was also somewhat stunned, her heart even starting to panic. "Huff!" Lin Tian took a deep breath, walked slowly toward the podium, feeling a bit excited. The teacher! This is his teacher! And now he was going to step forward to demand a kiss! This was the kiss many reserved men dreamed of! Just thinking about it was exciting! "Huff!" Lin Tian took another deep breath, then quickened his pace and strode forward. Lin Tian stepped in front of He Qianqian, slightly raised his head, and said loudly, "Teacher, you wouldn''t want to go back on your word, right? You once told me that lying isn''t good, lying isn''t a good habit! Teacher, please don''t lie now!" After speaking, Lin Tian paused, slightly raised his head again, and said loudly, "I beg for your kiss!" After that, Lin Tian closed his eyes, putting on an expectant look for a kiss! Lin Tian appeared very calm, his speech not even slightly trembling, but his heavy breathing revealed how nervous he was. Seeing Lin Tian with his eyes closed and his head slightly raised, looking expectant for a kiss, the students below went crazy! Everyone shouted frantically, "Kiss him! Kiss him!" The voices were in unison and rhythmic. Under that atmosphere, everyone in the ssroom was infected. "Uh..." He Qianqian, seeing the fric students below, then looking at Lin Tian with his expectant look for a kiss, was a bit at a loss. She never thought she would be pushed to this situation. "Kiss him! Kiss him!" The students below kept shouting frantically, their voices loud and orderly, pping their hands as they spoke. "Kiss him, kiss him!" Wang Feng, attending ss next door, was startled when he heard the faint voicesing from next door, then thought of something, and his face instantly turned rather ugly. Wang Feng thought for a moment, then excused himself to his ssmates and quickly walked towards the door of Lin Tian''s ssroom. "Kiss him, kiss him!" Hearing the shouts of the students below, He Qianqian nced at Lin Tian''s expectant face and hesitated. Her pearly teeth lightly biting her red lips, He Qianqian''s face showed great reluctance. ording to what He Qianqian truly wanted, she did not want to kiss Lin Tian, but doing otherwise would certainly make Lin Tian and all students feel heartbroken. And this was clearly not He Qianqian''s principle as a teacher. After thinking for a moment, He Qianqian made up her mind, and her red lips quickly pecked Lin Tian''s cheek! Like a dragonfly skimming water! "Oh! Oh!" Seeing that He Qianqian had indeed kissed him, a scream went up from the students below. It was madness! Madness! This scene was definitely going to be the talk of the school for a week! The acknowledged teacher goddess had actually kissed a student, such news was explosive when you thought about it! "Oh, oh! Unbelievable!" Hearing the shrieks of the students below, He Qianqian''s fair cheeks instantly flushed with redness. She appeared even more bashful and endearing. "You may go down now," He Qianqian said to Lin Tian, who was still on the podium in a daze. As she spoke, He Qianqian felt her face burning hot. But He Qianqian did not know that outside the ssroom window, Wang Feng was watching the scene with a face turned ashen. "Bitch!" Wang Feng whispered furiously, his face ashen. Meanwhile, hearing He Qianqian''s voice, Lin Tian, who was still somewhat in a daze, came back to his senses, responded, and then quickly walked back to his seat. Lin Tian had been dazed not only because He Qianqian had kissed him but also because the Supernatural Ability System''s synthesized electronic voice had sounded in his mind: "Taskpleted, reward 3 Supernatural Points." With that kiss from He Qianqian, the first task was consideredplete, and Lin Tian also received three Supernatural Points. Chapter 11 I Want to Teach Him a Lesson Lin Tian quickly walked to his surroundings, his mind still reying the task he had justpleted. After returning to his seat, Lin Tian didn''t have time to savor He Qianqian''s fragrant kiss, and instead plunged his consciousness into his mind. Lin Tian summoned his superpower menu swiftly. As Lin Tian summoned it, a menu-like object appeared in his mind, listing more than a dozen superpowers. Lin Tian looked through them one by one, "Level 1 Invisibility (can turn invisible for ten minutes a day) 2 Supernatural Points; Level 1 irvoyant Ability (can see through objects up to ten centimeters) one Supernatural Point; Standard 54 pistol (includes seven bullets) one Supernatural Point..." He looked over the powers one by one, his expression slightly disappointed because there were still too few powers, and all these were of the lowest level. Seeing these powers on the menu, Lin Tian muttered to himself, "The system hasn''t evolved yet, so I can only exchange for these powers for now. There should be better powers after the system evolves." Thinking of this, Lin Tian took a deep breath and once again scanned the dozen or so powers. He wanted to choose his favorite power out of these. After searching, Lin Tian''s gaze finally settled on a power: Level 1 Flight (can fly up to one hundred meters at a top speed of 20m/s) ten Supernatural Points." Seeing this power made Lin Tian''s eyes light up instantaneously. Flying was Lin Tian''s childhood dream. Just as he was about to exchange for this Flight Ability, the required Supernatural Points made Lin Tian somewhat helpless. "Ten Supernatural Points, that''s too many. I only have three right now." After staring at the Flight Ability for a long time, Lin Tian could only helplessly shake his head and thought, "I''ll save up for now and exchange when I have ten Supernatural Points." Thinking of this, Lin Tian opened his eyes and started the ss. Lin Tian didn''t exchange for any superpower, intending to save them until he had umted ten Supernatural Points. He wasn''t in a hurry right now. When Lin Tian lifted his head from his thoughts, he saw He Qianqian teaching on the podium. She had already lost her earlier shyness and had regained her authoritative teacher demeanor. At this time, the ssmates were also listening seriously. However, people still asionally thought of that kiss. Thinking of that kiss, Lin Tian slowly touched his right cheek, where He Qianqian had lightly kissed him. Although the contact had been brief, Lin Tian could still feel the softness of He Qianqian''s lips touching his cheek, and the resilience of those rosy lips. And now, recalling it, Lin Tian could even catch a whiff of a faint fragrance¡­ "A very nice feeling!" Watching He Qianqian lecturing from the podium, Lin Tian murmured softly. Time slowly passed, and this ss period quickly came to an end.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om As soon as the ss ended, He Qianqian hurriedly greeted the students before leaving rather quickly, as the thought of the kiss earlier still made her feel somewhat strange. He Qianqian was usually a very conservative person, which is why she was still intact to this day. So, she was quite mindful about this incident. As soon as He Qianqian left, the ssmates originally seated all gathered around Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, what did it feel like when Teacher He kissed you?" asked a boy, envy evident on his face as he questioned Lin Tian. "Uh¡­" Surrounded tightly by his ssmates, Lin Tian was somewhat helpless and just casually responded. At this time, He Qianqian seemed somewhat angry. Because her boyfriend, Wang Feng, had argued with her. And the reason for their argument was that kiss. "Hey, didn''t you say you wouldn''t kiss him?" As soon as she came out, Wang Feng pulled her aside to a secluded corner of the building, his face questioning. "You misunderstood!" He Qianqian''s expression showed her helplessness. "Misunderstood! What misunderstanding, I saw everything, do you think I''m a fool!" Hearing He Qianqian still denying it, Wang Feng became somewhat agitated, his face starting to turn red. Seeing him like this, He Qianqian frowned slightly, looking at him with some dissatisfaction, "I said I didn''t kiss his lips, I just kissed his cheek. Besides, he''s just a kid!" "What do you mean ''just a kid''!" Wang Feng raised his voice uncontrobly, shouting, "He''s developed just fine, he''s no ''kid''!" He Qianqian frowned and looked at him, but she didn''t speak. "You''re not allowed to interact too much with him from now on, and cancel his position as ss representative!" Wang Feng''s face showed some anger, his tonemanded. Hearing this, He Qianqian gave him a cold look, remained silent, stared at him for a while, then turned away with her textbooks in hand and walked away. "You..." Watching He Qianqian walking away in her high heels, Wang Feng was visibly angry, pointing at her retreating figure as if he wanted to curse, but in the end, he held back. Wang Feng angrily watched He Qianqian disappear from his sight, and only then did he harshly swing his hand and lowly roared, "Damn it!" "Whew!" Wang Feng took a deep breath, feeling a fire bottled up inside him, and Lin Tian''s figure appeared in his mind again. Thinking of this figure, he felt somewhat angry! "This little brat!" Wang Feng cursed softly in annoyance. ** Lin Tian was unaware of the incident between He Qianqian and Wang Feng. He also didn''t know about Wang Feng''s jealousy, but if he had known, he would have been even more pleased. At this time, Lin Tian was dealing with those ssmates who were extremely curious. These ssmates were not only from his own ss. Soon, students from other sses also came over to see Lin Tian. To see which lucky fellow had received the goddess''s kiss. And all this because He Qianqian was too famous, and because these ssmates were too repressed. Time slowly passed, and the second ss period had ended, and it was almost time for the third ss. The third ss was a physical education ss, urring once a week. Despite the intense studies of the third year of high school, Lin Tian''s school did not cancel the physical education ss for high school seniors as other schools had, but held it as usual. As the third ss was physical education, right after the second ss ended, all the students headed to the sports field. There on the field, as usual, Lin Tian teamed up with his ssmates to y basketball. Every time it was time for physical education, the teacher didn''t mind, letting the students y by themselves. So as soon as they reached the yground, Lin Tian and his group immediately started ying. Lin Tian''s basketball skills were mediocre, neither good nor bad. But he loved the sport and enjoyed the feeling of collision and being drenched in sweat. After ying for almost half an hour, Lin Tian''s group left the court, and Lin Tian and his teammates sat down to rest. He had just sat down to rest when he suddenly turned his head and was taken aback. He saw two people taking a walk not far away. He Qianqian and Wang Feng! They were walking and talking, looking very intimate. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian snorted coldly, turned his head away, and looked somewhat displeased. In Lin Tian''s eyes, He Qianqian was already the woman he had earmarked for himself, so of course he was unhappy to see her with another man. ''Should I speed up the process?'' Lin Tian thought to himself. He had already fulfilled He Qianqian''s first wish; he wondered when he could fulfill her second wish. Lin Tian thought to himself. ** "Qianqian, I really didn''t mean it before, I¡ªI just care about you too much! Truly, really!" Wang Feng said with a sincere face as he looked at He Qianqian. "That''s enough, I know. Let''s drop this topic," He Qianqian said with a somewhat indifferent expression. He Qianqian couldn''tprehend why Wang Feng had be so agitated over such a trivial matter, which made her somewhat dissatisfied with his temperament. She thought he was a bit too jealous. Of course, even though she was a bit annoyed, He Qianqian still forgave him, swayed by his sweet talkter on. "That''s good, Qianqian, you know I care about you the most!" Wang Feng said, looking earnestly at He Qianqian. Feeling somewhat helpless, He Qianqian did not respond but continued walking ahead with a calm expression. Seeing He Qianqian moving forward, Wang Feng quickly followed. Afterwards, the two walked shoulder to shoulder, and as they were walking, Wang Feng suddenly stopped. "What''s wrong?" He Qianqian asked, puzzled as she nced at Wang Feng. Realizing that he was looking at something, she followed his gaze. The basketball court. He Qianqian saw the basketball court ahead, where many students were ying basketball. She even spotted Lin Tian among them. At that time, Lin Tian''s group was going back onto the court again. Wang Feng''s gaze stayed on Lin Tian on the basketball court. He watched him running back and forth. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Feng''s gaze twinkled, and then he turned his head with a smile to look at He Qianqian, saying, "It''s been a long time since I yed basketball, should I go for some exercise?" "Sure, go ahead, I''ll watch from the side," He Qianqian nodded slightly. The reason He Qianqian was with Wang Feng was partly due to the dashing way he yed on the court. Because Wang Feng was indeed very handsome on the basketball court! Moreover, Wang Feng had been a member of the university basketball team at the time. Just as Wang Feng was about to run to the basketball court, three male teachers approached from a distance. Seeing the basketballs in the hands of the three male teachers, it seemed they were also there to y basketball. All three male teachers came with Wang Feng; they were all quite young, only about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Seeing these three, Wang Feng''s eyes brightened, he greeted He Qianqian, and then ran towards the three male teachers. "Hey, Zhu Jiang, you guys are heading to y basketball!" "Yeah, want to join us?" Zhu Jiang invited. "Sure, no problem!" Zhu Jiang''s proposal was exactly what Wang Feng wanted. "Let''s go!" The four men walked a few steps and then saw He Qianqian standing quietly under a tree. Seeing He Qianqian, Zhu Jiang moved closer to Wang Feng and whispered, "Heard your girlfriend kissed a ssmate today?" Hearing this, Wang Feng looked displeased and said sternly, "It wasn''t a kiss; it was just a peck on the cheek!" "A peck on the cheek is still pretty good! You wouldn''t believe how many ssmates are dying of envy. Aren''t you angry?" Zhu Jiang said with a teasing smile. Wang Feng pursed his lips and didn''t speak, just showing a displeased expression. "Want us brothers to get revenge for you? That little punk is right there; why not we team up and give him a rough time to soothe your anger?" Zhu Jiang suggested, ncing in Lin Tian''s direction. Zhu Jiang was Lin Tian''s chemistry teacher, so he also recognized Lin Tian. Zhu Jiang''s suggestion actually stemmed, in part, from his desire to teach Lin Tian a lesson. Because Zhu Jiang had been one of thepetitors for He Qianqian''s affections too, although he eventually lost out to Wang Feng. Wang Feng was good-looking and talented, so Zhu Jiang had noints about losing to him. However, the fact that his pursued goddess had kissed a garbage student did bother Zhu Jiang. That was why Zhu Jiang suggested they rough up Lin Tian on the basketball court. In response to Zhu Jiang''s suggestion, Wang Feng didn''t say anything but slightly nodded and then led the way quickly towards the court where Lin Tian was ying. He clearly shared Zhu Jiang''s sentiment. "I absolutely have to vent on you today!" Watching Lin Tian sweating on the court, Wang Feng thought coldly. Today, Wang Feng was too frustrated, and he wanted to take it out on Lin Tian! Chapter 12 Torture Me? Courting Death! With a basketball in hand, Wang Feng and three other male teachers walked straight to the court where Lin Tian and his friends were ying. Arriving at the court, Wang Feng, spinning the basketball in his hand, looked at the students with a smile and said, "Students, add one more group!" Seeing Wang Feng and his colleagues approaching, the game on the court temporarily halted. One of the students, a guy around one meter eighty, looked at Wang Feng with a speechless expression, "Teacher Wang, how could we possibly win with you ying!" "That''s right, that''s right, you guys are too strong!" the other students on the court also chipped in. There wasn''t a student in the school who liked to y basketball and didn''t know the name Wang Feng, since his skills were incredibly good. Therefore, even before Wang Feng started ying, the students on the court already felt underconfident. "It''s fine, just for fun!" Saying this, Wang Feng casually spun the ball on his finger, then his gaze drifted, intentionally or not, over to Lin Tian who was resting off to the side. "Exactly, exactly, just y for fun, guys. Alright, that''s settled then!" Fearing the students would refuse, Zhu Jiang quickly agreed too. Seeing that Wang Feng and the others really wanted to join, the students on the court couldn''t refuse and hence epted. Sitting off to the side and taking a rest, Lin Tian had the feeling that Wang Feng had nced at him just now. After giving Wang Feng a quick look back, Lin Tian didn''t pay it much mind and continued to watch the basketball court. After waiting a few minutes, the two teams on the court finished their game, the losing team stepped off, and Wang Feng''s team took to the court. The skill of Wang Feng''s four-man team was indeed impressive. In no time, they had scored five to one against the other team, and out of those five points, four were scored by Wang Feng himself. The winning team stayed on while the losing team stepped down, making way for the next group toe up. And the next group was Lin Tian''s team. Lin Tian patted the dust off his pants and, together with his ssmates, stepped onto the court. Seeing Lin Tian arriving, Wang Feng huddled with Zhu Jiang and the others, whispering, "Create opportunities for me to go one-on-one with that kidter, I want to crush him!" "No problem!" Zhu Jiang and the others grinned mischievously, their eyebrows twitching. The game began, and Lin Tian''s team started with the ball. Lin Tian took the pass from a teammate and was about to advance, but was startled upon seeing the opponent guarding him, Lin Tian paused. Wang Feng! Lin Tian didn''t expect to be defended by Wang Feng and wondered why Wang Feng didn''t go guard the best student on the team and instead was defending him? However, Lin Tian didn''t give it much thought and charged forward with the ball, but he had only taken a few steps when he was entangled by Wang Feng. Lin Tian felt as if there was a piece of gum stuck to him and it was extremely ufortable. Several times, Lin Tian was nearly intercepted. With no other choice, Lin Tian had to toss the ball, intending to pass it to a teammate. "Snap!" Suddenly, arge hand appeared out of nowhere and intercepted Lin Tian''s basketball. Wang Feng! Wang Feng had made the steal! After intercepting the ball, Wang Fengpletely ignored Lin Tian and made a spot-up three-pointer. Swish! The red basketball went straight through the hoop. "Nice!" Watching Wang Feng''s crisp counterattack, the students off the court cheered. But beside them, Lin Tian became the perfect foil. Lin Tian looked troubled, and at the same time, he nced over to the sidelines and saw He Qianqian standing there, pping gently and smiling faintly as she watched Wang Feng y. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian got even more irritated.N?v(el)B\\jnn But what could he do about being annoyed? Wang Feng truly was formidable. Just now, Lin Tian had beenpletely powerless to respond. Despite his frustration, the game went on. Since Wang Feng had scored, it was his team''s turn to start with the ball. After the serve, Wang Feng took the pass from a teammate and charged straight at Lin Tian. Seeing Wang Feng dribbling, Lin Tian''s ssmates wanted toe over to help with the defense, but before they could move far, they were blocked by another teacher. Only Lin Tian was left facing Wang Feng. Seeing Wang Feng driving towards him, Lin Tian bent slightly, his face hardened with seriousness as he guarded. Seeing Lin Tian in front of him, a look of disdain appeared on Wang Feng''s face as he charged forward. Wang Feng''s body leaned into Lin Tian, who staggered with a jolt as Wang Feng caught the ball and leaped to shoot! "Boom!" The red basketball was viciously mmed into the hoop by Wang Feng! Next to him, Lin Tian retreated a few steps with a somewhat pale face! Lin Tian rubbed his slightly aching chest, his expression growing a bit unsightly. The bump from Wang Feng had caused pain in Lin Tian''s chest. But this wasn''t the most frustrating part for Lin Tian. What annoyed him most was that he had no answer to Wang Feng''s y, especially when he saw He Qianqian on the sideline smiling and pping softly to cheer Wang Feng on, that made Lin Tian even more frustrated. Holding the basketball, Wang Feng looked at Lin Tian''s troubled face and taunted softly, "Little kid, you think you''re fit to y basketball?" After saying this, Wang Feng let out a cold, mockingugh and didn''t wait for Lin Tian to react before walking away. "You..." Lin Tian watched Wang Feng leave, somewhat stunned, and finally realized that Wang Feng had intentionallye to trouble him. After a moment of shock, a glint of coldness shed across Lin Tian''s eyes, "Crush me? You''re looking for trouble!" Chapter 13 Explode You! Lin Tian was already somewhat displeased, and when he confirmed that Wang Feng hade to pick a fight with him, Lin Tian''s annoyance grew even stronger. Under normal circumstances, Lin Tian might have endured it, but now he was clearly being bullied, Lin Tian would not just swallow his anger and stay quiet. With that thought, Lin Tian''s mind sank directly into the Sea of Consciousness, instantly summoning the superpower menu in his mind. After searching through the superpower menu, Lin Tian''s gaze finally settled on one superpower. "Ox Power Technique, it''s you!" With that thought, Lin Tian''s mind moved, and soon he felt a warm current start to surge within his body, a formidable strength began exploding forth. At the same time, the three Supernatural Points Lin Tian had turned to zero. Lin Tian had exchanged three Supernatural Points for the first level of the ''Ox Power Technique''. The ''Ox Power Technique'' was divided into nine levels, each level adding the strength of one ox. At the peak of cultivation, one could possess the strength of nine oxen. And now Lin Tian had achieved one level of the technique, which meant he had the strength of one ox! How strong is the strength of an ox? Theoretically, one ox could possess the strength of eighteen people! That illustrates how formidable the strength of an ox is! And now Lin Tian possessed this formidable strength! Feeling the powerful strength within his body, Lin Tian stared coldly at the somewhat triumphantly arrogant Wang Feng, "I''m going to crush you today!" Wang Feng and his team took the ball out again, and unsurprisingly, it was Wang Feng controlling the ball as he charged at Lin Tian. He wanted to torment Lin Tian again! "Hey!" As Wang Feng approached Lin Tian, intending to use his strength to shove Lin Tian aside again, the result this time was far beyond Wang Feng''s expectations. Wang Feng''s shove felt as though he had hit a wall; not only did Lin Tian remain immovable, the powerful recoil even caused him to stumble backward. "What..." Wang Feng turned his head toward Lin Tian in astonishment. As soon as Wang Feng turned his head, he saw Lin Tian''s mocking smile, followed closely by Lin Tian''s disdainful snort, "I''m going to crush you today, old boy!" Without waiting for Wang Feng to react, Lin Tian directly pped the basketball out of Wang Feng''s hands! Lin Tian pped the basketball right out of Wang Feng''s hands, out to the three-point line, directly to his teammate''s direction. Seeing the basketball flying towards him, the teammate subconsciously caught it. "Give it to me!" Lin Tian shouted, signaling with a wave. The ssmate hesitated for a moment, but eventually passed the basketball to Lin Tian. Catching the basketball firmly, Lin Tian leaned against Wang Feng, looking provocatively at him, "Now, I''m going to dunk straight over you and explode!" By this time, Wang Feng had recovered from his initial shock, and hearing Lin Tian''s taunting words, Wang Feng looked at Lin Tian disdainfully, "You think you''ve got the ability, kid?" Wang Feng was skeptical; he didn''t believe Lin Tian could dunk. With Lin Tian standing only 1.7 meters tall, the idea of him dunking was absurd to Wang Feng. Besides, Lin Tian was three steps away from the basket, which made it even less likely for him. "Impossible, you say? Today, I''ll let you witness it!" Seeing the disdain on Wang Feng''s face, a yful smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face. As he spoke, Lin Tian''s legs tensed up, ready to exert force. Feeling Lin Tian''s suddenly tensed muscles, Wang Feng pressed tightly against him, sure that if Lin Tian dared to jump, he could easily knock him over. "Hey!" Lin Tian''s legs tensed, he cried out loudly, and leapt up in an instant. Seeing Lin Tian jump, Wang Feng immediately followed with a jump. Whoosh whoosh! Even though he had jumped, Wang Feng felt Lin Tian getting higher and higher, and at the same time, a tremendous force transferred from Lin Tian, pressing down on him fiercely. In the air, without any leverage, Wang Feng''s body uncontrobly started to fall backwards. Bang! Wang Feng''s back mmed hard onto the concrete floor under the basket, and right above him, hanging onto the rim, was Lin Tian. Lin Tian had already mmed the basketball into the, currently hanging on the rim, while below him was the astonished face of Wang Feng! Silence! Silence! There wasplete silence at the scene! Everyone was gaping at Lin Tian, who was hanging on the rim. "What the heck!" a ssmate eximed in shock beneath the hoop, staring in disbelief at Lin Tian hanging above. Lin Tian actually made a m dunk? Everyone was somewhat incredulous. Lin Tian was only 1.7 meters tall, yet he could m dunk? And when he dunked, he didn''t even sprint; he just took off and dunked from three steps away! Too exaggerated! The most speechless moment was when Lin Tian forcefully took off for a dunk under Wang Feng''s defense and even sent Wang Feng flying! Astonishing! Way too astonishing! Everyone was staring at Lin Tian, their eyes as wide as saucers, as if they were looking at a monster! After being stunned for quite a while, the venue erupted with incredulous voices, "Has the world gone mad? Is this real or fake?" "Am I seeing things?" "Lin Tian can dunk now? Has the sun started rising from the west?" Everyone wore a look of disbelief. Seeing Lin Tian''s performance, He Qianqian was also taken aback. After freezing for a moment, a spark of curiosity flickered in He Qianqian''s beautiful eyes. He Qianqian discovered that this student seemed to be full of mysteries. After hanging on the rim with both hands and swaying for a while, Lin Tian jumped down from above. With a p, Lin Tiannded, and challengingly raised an eyebrow at Wang Feng, who had already gotten up from the ground. Seeing Lin Tian''s smug look, Wang Feng''s expression turned very ugly, and he bellowed, "Again!" The game continued, and it was Lin Tian''s team''s turn to inbound the ball. In the end, Lin Tian controlled the ball again, holding the basketball, he once more forced a dunk under Wang Feng''s block! But Wang Feng was helpless! Under Lin Tian''s brute strength, Wang Feng stood no chance! Bang! 2 to 2! Lin Tian forced another dunk and sent Wang Feng flying again! 3 to 2! Bang! Lin Tian violently dunked again, riding over Wang Feng''s head! 4 to 2! Bang bang! Lin Tian thoroughly dominated Wang Feng, time after time! Under Lin Tian''s terrifying strength, Wang Feng looked like a child, utterly powerless to resist! Everyone watched this scene with their mouths agape, watching Lin Tian thoroughly dominate Wang Feng! Bang!N?v(el)B\\jnn 5 to 2! The game is over! "I''m done!" Wang Feng fiercely pped the basketball, his face looking very ugly. After giving Lin Tian a menacing nce, he left with a dark face and quick steps. Humiliating! Wang Feng felt extremely humiliated! He hade wanting topletely crush Lin Tian, but instead, Lin Tian had turned the tables on him. Disgruntled! Wang Feng was very disgruntled! Watching Wang Feng leave with a dark face, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, shook his foot, and whistled cheerfully, "Kid, trying to crush me? You''re still green!" Seeing Wang Feng leave, He Qianqian gave Lin Tian a curious nce, thought for a moment, and then followed after Wang Feng. After Wang Feng left, the ssmates gathered around, looking at Lin Tian as if he were a creature from another world. "Damn, Lin Tian, since when did you be so badass!" "Exactly, did you take a Power Pill or something?" Everyone looked at Lin Tian with surprise. "Not bad, huh!" Lin Tian said with augh. Chapter 14 Snow Princess After dealing with his overly curious ssmates, Lin Tian left the basketball court, finding no more pleasure in ying basketball. His strength had be too great. ying with them felt like ying with little children. The fun ofpetition lies in equality. If the disparity is toorge, it''s no fun at all. Leaving the basketball court, Lin Tian wandered around the yground, quietly feeling the sensations in his body. After obtaining the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian found his body somewhat unfamiliar, its powerful strength making him feel unustomed. Of course, because of his superpower, this difort was short-lived; otherwise, Lin Tian wouldn''t have been able to eliminate Wang Feng sofortably. Feeling the powerful strength in his body, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he suddenly thrust his hand forward¡ª Bang! A faint sound of air bursting echoed through the air! Hearing this sudden burst, a sh of joy crossed Lin Tian''s face, and he thought to himself, "It''s really amazing, my punch can actually cause a sonic boom, such powerful strength!" The strength from the Ox Power Technique made Lin Tian even more satisfied with the Supernatural Ability System. "It''s a pity there are no more Supernatural Points. Otherwise, I''d exchange for more superpowers. By then, wouldn''t I be able to punch the earth and kick Mars!" Feeling the power of the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian started imagining his invincible day. Daydreaming for a while, a hint of helplessness shed across Lin Tian''s face. He sighed softly, "But Superntural Points aren''t easy toe by, and who knows when the next mission will be." As he walked slowly, Lin Tian pondered to himself, "From the information in my mind, these missions are random, and even actively seeking beauties is useless. The missions relypletely on chance; they can''t be rushed!" Thinking this, Lin Tian let out a light sigh, his expression showing a bit of helplessness, "Oh missions, when will youe!" Having benefited from the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian was now eager for more missions to earn more Supernatural Points. As he walked, suddenly, he heard a murmur nearby, "Look, Chen Xiaoxu is bothering Leng Bing again!" "Isn''t that normal? Even the teachers don''t dare to provoke Chen Xiaoxu. I heard his dad is a leader in the Education Bureau." Hearing this murmuring, Lin Tian blinked and looked to the right, only to see two girls quietly discussing something not far ahead. Following the direction the two girls were pointing, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up instantly. He saw a beautiful girl standing quietly under a ne tree a hundred meters ahead. This beauty was dressed in a white dress, her ck hair simply tied into a ponytail, her exquisite face icy cold. "Leng Bing!" At the sight of this beauty, a name immediately popped into Lin Tian''s mind. Leng Bing could be said to be a celebrity at the school. First of all, her grades were excellent, always at the top of every monthly exam. Had it not been for Lin Tian''s sudden emergence, Leng Bing would still have been in first ce this time. Besides her grades, Leng Bing was also a stunning beauty, but true to her name, she always had a cool demeanor and seldom smiled. Because of this, her ssmates had given Leng Bing the nickname "Ice Princess." Although it was rare to see a smile on Leng Bing''s face, this didn''t lessen her number of admirers. On the contrary, many boys were even more thrilled, feeling an even greater desire to conquer her. However, these suitors were quickly defeated by Chen Xiaoxu.N?v(el)B\\jnn Ever since Chen Xiaoxu started pursuing Leng Bing, he had driven away all the boys who dared to show her affection. Thinking of this, Lin Tian''s eyes slightly narrowed as he looked towards the area in front of Leng Bing and spotted Chen Xiaoxu standing about a meter away from her. At that moment, Chen Xiaoxu was shamelessly hanging around her. ncing at the two of them, Lin Tian wasn''t interested in meddling, and just as he was about to look away, he suddenly froze, "Beep beep! Mission found, mission found!" An emotionless synthetic voice sounded in his mind. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled and turned his head quickly to look at Leng Bing. As Lin Tian''s gaze fixed on her, he noticed a red glow emanating from her body¡ªsignifying a mission. As Lin Tian focused, a synthetic voice followed in his mind, "Mission: Drive away Leng Bing''s suitors. Reward: One Supernatural Point. Penalty: None!" Hearing this, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear! I was just thinking about a mission, and here it is!" With that thought, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed mischievously as he looked at Chen Xiaoxu in the distance, "I was thinking of letting you off the hook, but it seems today I''m set to settle some old scores!" With that thought, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and walked unhurriedly toward Chen Xiaoxu. He hadn''t forgotten about the times Chen Xiaoxu used to bully him. When Lin Tian started walking towards Chen Xiaoxu, the onlookers at a distance didn''t care much and didn''t think much about it. But when they saw Lin Tian heading directly towards Chen Xiaoxu, some ssmates started to be surprised. ** "Bingbing, be my girlfriend!" Chen Xiaoxu said with a cheeky grin, eyeing Leng Bing''s delicate face, which made him gulp. Leng Bing looked at Chen Xiaoxu with a cold face, gave him a nce, and turned to walk away. However, Leng Bing had only walked a few steps when Chen Xiaoxu stopped her again. Still grinning, he said, "Bingbing, be my girlfriend, I promise to spoil you with all the good stuff." Leng Bing closed her eyes deeply, her expression showing utter helplessness. Annoying! Annoying! Leng Bing felt incredibly annoyed! Ever since this fly had stuck to her, Leng Bing had not had a single day of peace! "If only someone could help me drive him away!" Leng Bing thought somewhat hopefully. But then she felt her idea was a bit unrealistic because no one at school dared to provoke Chen Xiaoxu. Even if Chen Xiaoxu wasn''t too excessive, the teachers wouldn''t intervene. "Ah, annoying!" Leng Bing sighed helplessly inside. Suddenly, she blinked in surprise as she saw someone heading straight towards her. Seeing this, Leng Bing was a bit stunned. She couldn''t believe someone woulde over, given that Chen Xiaoxu was there. People usually couldn''t avoid him fast enough, so how could they possiblye closer? "It must be one of Chen Xiaoxu''sckeys; otherwise, no other ssmates woulde here." With this thought, Leng Bing looked at Lin Tian with a hint of disdain. Noticing Leng Bing''s gaze, Chen Xiaoxu turned around in confusion, then saw Lin Tian. When Chen Xiaoxu saw that Lin Tian had no intention of stopping, he frowned and glowered at Lin Tian, "Kid, get lost!" Hearing Chen Xiaoxu''s words, Lin Tian didn''t pause his steps and didn''t pay him any heed, continuing to walk forward. Seeing that Lin Tian not only ignored him but kept walking towards him, a surge of anger rose in Chen Xiaoxu as he red at Lin Tian, "Kid, are you looking for death?" Chen Xiaoxu''s expression turned ferocious. While Chen Xiaoxu was talking, Lin Tian had already reached Leng Bing. Ignoring Chen Xiaoxu''s furious expression, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow at Leng Bing, "Beauty, need any help?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Leng Bing slightly furrowed her brows, wondering if this guy was crazy. Didn''t he know who Chen Xiaoxu was? Was he here looking for a beating? Leng Bing even started to worry about Lin Tian. "Hey, I said, are you asking for death?" At this moment, Chen Xiaoxu was already furious to the core. This guy, springing from nowhere, not only daring to meddle in his affairs butpletely ignoring him and not even giving him the time of day! Furious! Chen Xiaoxu felt extremely angry! Chen Xiaoxu was determined to teach this ignorant kid a lesson! To show him why the flowers are so red! With that thought, Chen Xiaoxu quickly stepped forward, his face fierce, and punched hard at Lin Tian''s face! Smack! With a slight sound, a look of astonishment shed across Chen Xiaoxu''s fierce face as he stared dumbfounded at his own fist. He saw that, unbeknownst to him, a hand had appeared on his fist, easily blocking his fierce punch without much effort. "How... how is this possible!" Chen Xiaoxu looked astonished, his expression as if he had seen a ghost! It was then that Lin Tian turned his gaze towards Chen Xiaoxu, nced at him indifferently, withdrew his hand, and flicked it! Smack! What a resounding p! Chapter 15 Task Completed p! What a resounding p across the face! Stunned! Everyone was stunned! Leng Bing, standing nearby, looked at Lin Tian with a dazed expression, somewhat unable to react! It wasn''t just Leng Bing who was stunned; the students secretly watching in the distance were also stunned! Hitting someone! And it was Chen Xiaoxu who got hit! Was there really someone at the school who dared to hit the school bully, Chen Xiaoxu? How could that be possible? Students who saw this scene from afar were somewhat dazed, some doubting if they had seen wrongly. While others felt their heads were muddled, Chen Xiaoxu was truly muddled. The p from Lin Tian sent stars spinning in Chen Xiaoxu''s vision, and it took a good while before he could recover hisposure. "Huff huff!" Chen Xiaoxu took several deep breaths, tasting a bit of saltiness in his mouth; he felt his teeth on the right side beginning to loosen. "Ptui!" Chen Xiaoxu spat out a mouthful of saliva vehemently. Along with the saliva, there was a trace of blood. Lin Tian''s palm had caused Chen Xiaoxu''s gums to bleed. "Huff!" Chen Xiaoxu took a deep breath; Lin Tian''s p did not invoke a hint of fear in him but instead ignited the rage in his heart. Chen Xiaoxu raised his head with a ferocious look and roared at Lin Tian, "You''re courting death!" After speaking, Chen Xiaoxu charged forward quickly, aiming a kick directly at Lin Tian''s lower back. The kick was swift and vicious! But for a fierce kick like Chen Xiaoxu''s, Lin Tian hardly took it seriously. Lin Tian casually deflected it with his hand! p! In an instant, Chen Xiaoxu felt a tremendous force transfer to his foot, causing his body to lose bnce, and he involuntarily toppled to the ground! Bang! Chen Xiaoxu''s body hit the ground instantly, falling t on his face! Lin Tian nced indifferently at Chen Xiaoxu on the ground, appearing remarkably rxed. In Lin Tian''s view, Chen Xiaoxu posed no threat whatsoever. Had he not controlled his strength, he could have easily pped him half to death! However, Chen Xiaoxu didn''t see it that way. Eating dirt twice in a row only served to unleash the fury in Chen Xiaoxu''s heart; he took a fierce breath and, grabbing a fist-sized stone from the ground, hurled it at Lin Tian as he got up. Whoosh! The fist-sized stone whizzed toward Lin Tian. Seeing the stone flying at him, Lin Tian tensed up and quickly dodged! Barely avoiding the stone, Lin Tian, with a cold expression, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xiaoxu, and started to p him repeatedly! With a series of resounding ps, Chen Xiaoxu was struck dumb, blood beginning to flow from the corner of his mouth. But Lin Tian still had his wits about him and did not use excessive force, otherwise with his current strength, these few ps could have killed Chen Xiaoxu outright. p! Afternding another harsh p, Lin Tian finally let Chen Xiaoxu go. Chen Xiaoxu, dazed by the barrage of ps from Lin Tian, took a good while to regain his senses. "Kid, you''re dead meat!" Chen Xiaoxu looked at Lin Tian with a mix of fear; he had finally been frightened by Lin Tian. Even though he was scared, Chen Xiaoxu''s mouth refused to concede. Speaking was somewhat slurred after being pped repeatedly, and his cheeks began to swell and redden. Soon, Chen Xiaoxu''s face swelled up like a pig''s head. "Get lost!" Lin Tian swept a cold nce at Chen Xiaoxu. "Kid, do you know who I am?" Chen Xiaoxu still didn''t leave, despite the fear. "Not leaving?" Seeing that Chen Xiaoxu kept babbling on, Lin Tian slowly stepped forward. Witnessing Lin Tian''s approach, Chen Xiaoxu''s heart trembled, and he no longer pretended to be tough but hurriedly fled while looking back and shouting, "Kid, just you wait!" Watching Chen Xiaoxu run away like a bereaved dog, a hint of disdain appeared on Lin Tian''s face, "Trash!" Seeing Chen Xiaoxu''s frantic escape, everyone was stunned. Leng Bing was stunned, the students watching from afar were stunned.N?v(el)B\\jnn Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched Lin Tian. There was actually someone in the school who dared to hit Chen Xiaoxu and even sent him running? After being stunned for quite a while, Leng Bing came back to his senses with a puzzled look at Lin Tian, "Do you know who he is?" "I know, it''s Chen Xiaoxu!" Lin Tian said nonchntly. Meanwhile, Lin Tian focused his attention inside his mind, and as Chen Xiaoxu ran away, a synthesized electronic voice sounded in Lin Tian''s head, "Missionpleted, reward of one Supernatural Point received!" Chapter 16 Meeting a Cute Girl Around the Corner "Taskpleted, reward: one Supernatural Point!" As an electronic synthesized voice sounded, Lin Tian felt an additional Supernatural Point appear in his mind. This discovery instantly uplifted his spirits. "Hey, are you listening to me?" Just as Lin Tian was basking in joy, an unsatisfied voice reached his ears. "Huh?" Lin Tian snapped back to reality and slightly lifted his head, only to see Leng Bing looking at him with some dissatisfaction, her rosy lips puckered, showing a touch of displeasure. Seeing Leng Bing''s expression, Lin Tian was momentarily stupefied; he found her current look incredibly adorable.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Hey, what are you staring at? I''m talking to you!" Seeing Lin Tian stare nkly at her, Leng Bing frowned slightly with her willowy eyebrows knitted. Lin Tian came to his senses and teased with a yful smile, "The way you were just being all coy was pretty cute, why are you always so cold-faced?" "You... Who''s being coy!" Leng Bing red at Lin Tian with puffed-up anger. However, she didn''t know that her appearance held an unusual allure in Lin Tian''s eyes. "Look, see? Aren''t you throwing a little tantrum at me now? You''re very cute like that!" Lin Tian continued smiling cheerfully at Leng Bing, taking a few steps forward as he spoke. "What are you doing!" Leng Bing immediately stepped back, her face turning cold instantly. Lin Tian halted his advance, took a sniff, and a scent of a girl''s fragrance wafted into his nostrils; Lin Tian said, looking intoxicated, "So fragrant!" "You! Pervert!" Leng Bing''s face changed, and she turned around and walked away huffily. Originally, Leng Bing intended to warn him about Chen Xiaoxu being the school bully and to be careful, but now she didn''t want to pay him any attention. "Flirting with me, he''s not a good person!" Leng Bing walked away quickly, thinking indignantly to herself. Watching the beauty leave, Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and called out, "Beauty, smile more, oh! But you also look cute when you''re angry!" Leng Bing felt speechless and quickened her pace. Seeing Leng Bing huff away, Lin Tian chuckled to himself, redirecting his attention back into his mind. Looking at the new Supernatural Point in his mind, Lin Tian felt utterly pleased. Lin Tian gave a satisfied p and appeared very rxed, "Not bad at all, I got a Supernatural Point so effortlessly." Lin Tian felt extremely at ease; he hoped for more such tasks. To him, tasks like these posed no danger whatsoever. As for Chen Xiaoxu, as far as Lin Tian was concerned, he posed no threat, school bully or not. "Ring, ring..." Just then, the bell signaling the end of sses rang. At the sound of the bell, Lin Tian looked up and saw that some students had already started to prepare to go home. "Let''s go home!" Lin Tian gave a quick scan and headed towards the parking lot to find his bike. Finding his bike, Lin Tian pedaled home leisurely while his mind wandered. "This superpower is amazing. With it, I could even be invincible. The only regret is that these tasksck any pattern..." "ording to the information in my mind, this superpower is a product from three thousand yearster, I have no idea why it came here..." "Now I only have one Supernatural Point, too few. Let''s save it for now..." Lin Tian continued to ride home, lost in his thoughts. As he rode, suddenly, Lin Tian''s expression changed, and he hastily stopped the bike. After dismounting, Lin Tian looked helplessly at the rear wheel of his bike. The once inted tire was now t and lifeless. Lin Tian stopped and turned the wheel around, soon spotting a small nail on the tire. Clearly, it was this nail that had punctured it. "So annoying!" Lin Tian then pulled the nail out of the tire and threw it away before proceeding to carry the bike single-handedly. Despite carrying the bike single-handedly, Lin Tian moved swiftly, looking quite rxed. The bike weighed at least forty pounds, but with Lin Tian''s strength, he could barely feel its weight. Feeling the weightless bike in his right hand, Lin Tian felt fortunate: "Thank goodness for the Ox Power Technique; otherwise, I would have had to push the bike." Even though carrying the bike presented no issue for him, Lin Tian still nned to get it fixed quickly, as it was inconvenient to carry it around. So, he quickened his pace. Lin Tian walked briskly towards the bike repair ce. "Almost there, just around the corner." Seeing a turn up ahead, Lin Tian picked up his pace again. Lin Tian was about to turn the corner while carrying his bike when suddenly, a figure appeared right in the path, about to collide with the bike. Startled, Lin Tian swiftly put his hand out to block; if he hadn''t, the person would have crashed right into his bike. "Ouch!" Apanied by a soft cry, Lin Tian felt his handnd on something soft. Very soft, veryfortable! What is this? Lin Tian squeezed it instinctively! "What are you doing!" An angry exmation in a sweet voice followed! Lin Tian froze and immediately saw a cute girl. At that moment, the cute girl was blushing furiously, staring angrily at him. And his hand... it seemed to be pressing on her plump breasts! Chapter 17 The Scream on the Bicycle "Aren''t you letting go yet!" Bu Mengting saw that the person was still staring nkly at herself, with no reaction, and immediately shouted angrily. "Ah? Oh!" Lin Tian withdrew his hand somewhat awkwardly, "I, I didn''t mean to do it!" "Humph!" Bu Mengting snorted coldly, kept a straight face without speaking, but her pretty face was still somewhat flushed. It was at this time that Lin Tian carefully observed the girl before him. Seeing the girl, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up instantly, what a beautiful girl! Her big eyes seemed to speak, like the stars on a summer night. Next were her red lips. Those lips were like dew on an early spring morning, so clear and fresh. "Hey! Have you seen enough?" Bu Mengting noticed the boy sizing her up continuously and spoke with some annoyance. "Hehe!" Lin Tian chuckled, without saying anything. "Humph! Pervert!" Bu Mengting snorted coldly and quickly walked past Lin Tian. As Lin Tian watched Bu Mengting walk away, he shrugged his shoulders with a bit of regret, sniffed his hand, and a faint fragrance entered his nostrils. In an instant, something else shed through Lin Tian''s mind... Lin Tian muttered to himself, then left with his bicycle. After walking a dozen meters or so, Lin Tian arrived at the bicycle repair spot and asked the boss to fix his bike. After waiting ten minutes, his bike was fixed. Just as Lin Tian was about to ride off, suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, his eyes shining. The cute girl, ah, he saw that cute girl again. The moment Lin Tian saw Bu Mengting, she also saw him. Seeing Lin Tian, Bu Mengting snorted coldly and thought about turning around and leaving, but after thinking for a moment, she still walked over. However, she wasn''ting to Lin Tian, but to the bicycle repair shop owner. She approached the owner and asked, "Boss, do you know how to get to Green Light District?" "I don''t know!" The owner shook his head. Hearing this answer, Bu Mengting seemed a bit disappointed, then turned and walked toward the nearby fruit stand. She asked the fruit stand owner again, "Boss, do you know how to get to Green Light District?" "Green Light District? Never heard of it!" The fruit stand owner also shook his head. After asking several people and finding no one knew, Bu Mengting appeared quite disheartened. Lin Tian, who had been watching the girl all this time, eyes lit up. Green Light District! Others might not know, but he did! His home was in Green Light District. With this thought, Lin Tian walked towards the girl with his bicycle, "Beauty, are you looking for Green Light District? I know it, my home is there." "You know it?" Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian with suspicion. "Of course, that''s where my home is!" Lin Tian nodded as a matter of course. "Tell me how to get there!" "I''ll give you a ride, it''s a bit of a walk!" Lin Tian suggested with a smile, patting his bicycle. Bu Mengting looked hesitant. Seeing this, Lin Tian patted his bicycle again, smiling, "Hop on, what, am I going to sell you or something! Consider it my way of apologizing for earlier." "Alright then!" Bu Mengting hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down. Bu Mengting didn''t think Lin Tian could do anything to her, the most important thing being that she was a total direction ignoramus, and even if Lin Tian told her the way, she might still get lost in the end. "Alright, sit tight!" Once Bu Mengting was seated, Lin Tian spoke, then started pedaling. Whoosh! Lin Tian slowly began to speed up! Feeling the bike pick up speed, Bu Mengting seemed scared, her fair little hands clutching the bicycle tightly, and she said nervously, "Slow down!" "What?" Lin Tian feigned confusion, but his feet moved faster and faster, and the bicycle''s speed kept increasing! Whoosh! The bicycle zoomed off, feeling like it was about to take flight! Hearing the whooshing wind in her ears, Bu Mengting was so frightened that her face turned somewhat pale, and she shouted, "Slow down, slow down!" Lin Tian didn''t stop, and his pedaling pace got even faster. As Lin Tian pedaled quickly, he shouted, "I''m going to speed up, hold onto me!" With that, Lin Tian sped up again!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Whoosh! Feeling the bicycle speed up once more, Bu Mengting''s face turned pale, and she felt her grip on the bicycle was bing unsteady. "Hold onto my waist!" Lin Tian called out while pedaling swiftly. Bu Mengting''s face turned pale! Whoosh! The bicycle''s speed kept increasing! "I''m going to speed up, hold onto my waist!" Lin Tian shouted, with eyes fixed ahead. Whoosh! The bicycle elerated once again! Startled, Bu Mengting quickly wrapped her arms around Lin Tian''s waist, and due to fear, even leaned her whole body against his back. As soon as her body leaned against Lin Tian''s back, Bu Mengting felt much safer and wasn''t scared anymore! Lin Tian chuckled and sped up once more, rushing forward at high speed. Whoosh! Five or six minutester, gradually, the bicycle started to slow down, and eventually came to aplete stop. At this point, Bu Mengting was still holding tightly onto Lin Tian''s waist. Once stopped, Lin Tian turned his head and looked at the girl clinging to him and teased, "Do you feel like I''m very secure!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting got a shock, only then realizing the bicycle had stopped. Bu Mengting quickly let go, her face instantly turning bright red. "Hehe, don''t be shy, I''m just that kind of secure guy!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, appearing quite proud of himself. "You!" Bu Mengting red at Lin Tian, snorted coldly, and walked away quickly with a stomp of her feet. By now, Bu Mengting recognized the ce, realizing this was the Green Light District where her uncle lived. Lin Tian whistled and pushed his bike in as well. Chapter 18 First Place Lin Tian whistled as he pushed his bike, following Bu Mengting into the neighborhood. Bu Mengting stalked ahead with rapid steps. She knew Lin Tian was right behind her, but she didn''t acknowledge him. After a distance, Bu Mengting realized the pervert was still behind her, and, irritated, she spun around to re at Lin Tian, "Hey, why do you keep following me!" "Following you? No, not at all," Lin Tian nced at Bu Mengting strangely, "I was heading this way too. It''s not like I can''t go this way just because you are!" "You..." Bu Mengting was momentarily at a loss for words. After pausing, she turned around, somewhat dejected, and continued walking on. Her steps, however, quickened quite a bit. Lin Tian pursed his lips and continued pushing his bike forward. After some time, Bu Mengting realized the pervert had finally stopped following her. While relieved, she couldn''t help feeling a tinge of loss for some reason. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was parking his bike under the shed at the bottom of his apartment block. At the same time, he noticed that the girl had just entered the building where he lived. "Maybe she''s a neighbor!" Lin Tian mused as he locked his bike securely. Having locked his bike, Lin Tian bounded up the stairs. When he reached the third floor, suddenly, his steps halted. Bu Mengting! Lin Tian spotted the girl again. At that moment, Bu Mengting was using her keys to unlock her door. Lin Tian nced at Bu Mengting and said with a smile, "So you live here, we are neighbors after all!" "Who''s your neighbor!" Bu Mengting snorted through her nose, turned her head away, and continued to unlock her door. "We really are neighbors though!" Lin Tian chuckled, pulling out his keys and opening the door opposite to Bu Mengting''s. He opened his door, turned around, and said cheerfully, "See, I''m here, and you''re there. Aren''t we neighbors!" Bu Mengting was speechless, swiftly opened her door, and with a bang, mmed it shut. Lin Tian looked at the firmly closed door opposite his, shrugged his shoulders, then opened his own door and went inside. As Lin Tian changed his shoes, he thought to himself, "Didn''t expect a little sister from next door, but I don''t remember such a beautiful girl living across from me. Maybe I just didn''t know her before." As Lin Tian opened his door, people in the living room heard the sound. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shi Qing looked up from her conversation with a friend in the living room and saw her soning in, saying immediately, "You''re back, go wash your hands quickly, we are about to eat." "Oh, I know!" Lin Tian replied casually as he finished changing his shoes. "Is that Lin Tianing back? Why didn''t hee back with my son Wang Bing?" A somewhat familiar voice came from the sofa in the living room. Lin Tian turned his head to look, his expression instantly turning helpless: "Why is she here again." This person was Lin Tian''s mother''s friend, Lin Qin, who also lived in the Green Light neighborhood, just below Lin Tian''s apartment. The neighbors did not know when Lin Tian''s mother and Lin Qin had be friends. At first, it was alright, butter on, Lin Tian began to dislike her. Lin Qin always liked to boast about her son, always talking about how great he is. It was enough to drive anyone crazy! And ignoring her was not an option, as Lin Qin''s son Wang Bing attended the same school as Lin Tian and they were in the same grade. However, the difference was that Wang Bing was a top student, consistently ranking in the top twenty of his year during the monthly tests. As for Lin Tian, forget about the whole grade, even within his ss, he was considered a poor student. Therefore, every time Lin Qin bragged about her son, Lin Tian had to suffer because his mother would alwayspare him to Wang Bing. And what left Lin Tian speechless was that every time he saw Lin Qin, she always had to show off her son. Indeed, this time was no exception. Seeing Lin Tian, Lin Qin, sitting on the sofa, said cheerfully, "The monthly exam results areing out today, right?" "Yes!" Lin Tian responded, somewhat listlessly. Actually, he didn''t want to bother with her at all, but ignoring her would be impolite, so he had no choice but to reply with ack of enthusiasm. But obviously, Lin Qin didn''t notice Lin Tian''s reluctance and continued to speak for herself, "My son Wang Bing said that this monthly exam was quite difficult, but getting 600 points is still no problem for him. He said he should probably rank in the top 15 of the whole grade!" "Oh!" Lin Tian responded perfunctorily and was about to walk away. He really didn''t want to listen to Lin Qin''s ceaseless bragging. However, seeing Lin Tian attempting to leave, Lin Qin gestured for him toe over with a smile and said, "Come here,e over for a bit, Auntie wants to chat with you." Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless and really didn''t want to go over, but after thinking about it, he still walked over. When Lin Tian walked over, Lin Qin said with a smile, "Your grades are rather average, while my son Wang Bing''s are slightly better. I''ve already told him to help you out if you don''t understand something, you can ask him, no need to be shy." Hearing this, Lin Tian slightly curled his lips and muttered to himself, "Now it''s me who should ask him? It should be the other way around!" Lin Tian, with the help of his superpower, had fully absorbed and understood all the high school knowledge. Seeing Lin Tian curl his lips, Lin Qin misunderstood and said cheerfully, "Don''t be shy, Wang Bing is very easy to talk to. It''s only right for him to help you since his grades are better." "Exactly, exactly, you should thank Aunt Lin!" Shi Qing said to Lin Tian in a lecturing tone from the side. Feeling helpless, Lin Tian could only nod and say, "Fine, I will ask if there''s something I don''t understand." Lin Tian didn''t bother to tell them that he didn''t need anyone''s help since he was actually the top student in his ss. While Lin Tian kept quiet, Lin Qin continued to ramble on, "My son Wang Bing has actually always had very good grades since he was young. And he''s such a good boy, never gets into fights at school!" "I''m so envious of you, if only Lin Tian were half as obedient!" Shi Qing said with a tone of heavy envy. "It''s okay, actually Lin Tian is not bad either, just his grades might be somewhatcking. But with Wang Bing''s help tutoring, they should improve," Lin Qin said with a grin. "My son Wang Bing¡­" "Wang Bing¡­" ¡­ Lin Tian had been listening for a full five minutes, wanting to leave but unable to. It was almost driving him crazy. And what made Lin Tian lost for words was that it would be one thing for Lin Qin to praise her son, but she would also bring him up asionally. Even his own mom always sounded envious. After listening for a while and noticing Lin Qin was about to speak again, Lin Tian couldn''t bear it any longer and interrupted, "Actually, in this monthly exam, I got the first rank in the grade!" "What?" The two, engrossed in their conversation, nced reflexively at Lin Tian. "I said, actually this monthly exam, I got the first rank!" Lin Tian calmly looked at the two, nning to end this pointless conversation. He felt if he stayed any longer, he would lose his mind. "What did you say, the first rank?" Upon hearing this, Shi Qing''s face did not show the slightest joy; instead, she frowned, "You don''t mean you got thest ce?" "I don''t mean thest ce, I mean the real, top first rank! This monthly exam I scored 704 points, rank one in the whole grade!" Lin Tian said with aposed expression. "Lin Tian, don''t joke around!" Shi Qing looked at her son with dissatisfaction, thinking he was telling lies. Not just Shi Qing, but Lin Qin next to her didn''t believe Lin Tian''s words either. "I''m telling the truth!" Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless. Just as he was about to continue exining, suddenly, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance. With the sound of the door, from afar they could hear his sister Lin Fang shouting excitedly, "Mom, I have earth-shattering news to tell you, brother actually really got the first rank!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The first rank? Hearing this, Shi Qing was taken aback and nced at her son unconsciously, thinking to herself, "Could it be that my son really achieved the first rank? But how could that be possible?" Chapter 19 Face-Slapping Hearing his sister''s voice, Lin Tian''s eyebrows rose as he turned his head to look toward the door. As soon as he turned around, he saw his sister running over excitedly without even putting on her shoes, shouting, "Mom, brother really ranked first!" "What first? Be more specific, and stop shouting," Shi Qing frowned, looking at her daughter with some dissatisfaction. Seeing the look on her mother''s face, Lin Fang reined in her emotions a bit, but her face still showed excitement as she looked at Shi Qing, "Mom, I saw the monthly exam rankings today, and the first ce is actually brother. He ranked first in the monthly exam!" "What?" Upon hearing this, Shi Qing was taken aback and then turned her head with a puzzled look to sweep a nce at Lin Tian, who was sitting on the sofa. Her son could actually be the top in his grade? Had the sun risen from the west? Shi Qing didn''t believe it, and Lin Qin beside her was even more incredulous. Lin Qin looked at Lin Fang with doubt, "Ah Fang, you didn''t see it wrong, did you? Maybe it''s someone with the same name and surname? Your... your brother shouldn''t be scoring that well!" "Not at all, I saw it very clearly, it''s written ''ss of Senior 3 (19) Lin Tian'', absolutely no mistake." After speaking, Lin Fang repeated with certainty, "I looked at it four or five times, definitely no mistake!" "Er..." Hearing this, Lin Qin didn''t know what to say. It wasn''t possible to insist Lin Fang was wrong, but she absolutely couldn''t believe that Lin Tian had really ranked first in his grade. Meanwhile, Shi Qing turned her head and looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled face, asking, "Lin Tian, is what your sister saying true?" "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, speaking with an air of nonchnce, "Didn''t I say? I did rank first in the grade!" "Then, then you..." "You mean howe I suddenly did so well, right?" Lin Tian interrupted his mother, continuing, "Actually, I could have scored this well before, I just didn''t want to." Lin Tian said with an indifferent face. This reason was actually quite weak, and nine out of ten people wouldn''t believe it. If your grades were that good, why hide them all the time?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om But Lin Tian didn''t need anyone else to believe, he just needed one reason for himself. "You didn''t cheat, did you?" After a moment of stunned silence, Lin Qin asked with some hesitation. She really didn''t believe that Lin Tian, the underachiever, could have scored the top rank in his grade. Furthermore, if Lin Tian could really achieve the top rank, wouldn''t it make all her usual bragging about her own son particrly ridiculous? Wasn''t it a p in her own face? Hearing Lin Qin''s doubtful words, Lin Tian nced over dismissively and said, "Whether I cheated or not, you can ask your son if he can cheat his way to such good results." After speaking, Lin Tian didn''t bother with more words and stood up to leave for his room. Seeing Lin Tian walk away, Lin Qin felt somewhat embarrassed. She had been challenged by a kid she normally lectured, and it made her lose face. Noticing the embarrassment on Lin Qin''s face, Shi Qing hastily tried to smooth things over, "Sister Lin, don''t take it to heart. This child just doesn''t know his ce, I''ll reprimand himter!" "Ah, it''s nothing, it''s nothing." Lin Qin smiled awkwardly, then stood up with an apologetic air, "I have to go back and cook, I''lle over some other time for a chat." "Ah, sure!" Shi Qing was a bit startled, then got up smiling in response. After sending off Lin Qin, Shi Qing turned to Lin Fang and asked with a serious face, "Your brother really ranked first in the grade?" "Really!" Lin Fang nodded emphatically. ** Back in his room, it wasn''t long before he heard that Lin Qin had left the living room. Upon hearing that Lin Qin had gone, Lin Tian didn''t care; his main focus was now on his superpower. If it weren''t for Lin Qin constantly bragging and showing off about her own son, Lin Tian wouldn''t have bothered to show her any attitude. But this was also good, now she probably wouldn''t have the face toe over again. After musing for a while, Lin Tian shifted his focus back to his superpower and closed his eyes to summon the superpower menu once again. Chapter 20 Hi, Beautiful He closed his eyes and summoned the superpower menu, and looking at the various abilities listed, Lin Tian truly coveted them all. After a while, Lin Tian closed the menu and let out a light sigh, "It''s a pity I don''t have enough Supernatural Points, otherwise I would''ve redeemed all of these abilities." Currently, Lin Tian only had one Supernatural Point, which was far too little to exchange for anything significant, so he decided to save it for now. After closing the superpower menu, Lin Tian brooded, "To obtain more abilities, I need toplete more tasks. Tasks, in the end, it''s all about tasks..." As he thought this, Lin Tian tapped his fingers on the desk, muttering to himself, "To have tasks, there must be beauties involved, and these beauties cannot be sought out deliberately..." Thinking of beauties, images of He Qianqian and Leng Bing appeared in his mind, followed by the girl he had just encountered. Thinking of that girl, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened, "That girl is really beautiful, and she has such an air about her, totally on the same level as Teacher He and Leng Bing. I wonder if she might carry a task." "Should I take the initiative to make contact..." Lin Tian pondered to himself. "Lin Tian, what are you doing inside? Come out for dinner!" Just as Lin Tian was pondering, Shi Qing''s voice suddenly called out from outside. "Coming!" Lin Tian gathered his thoughts and replied, then hurried out. After dinner and a short rest, Lin Tian prepared to go to school for evening self-study. On his way to school, Lin Tian deliberately nced across the street but to his disappointment, the door opposite was tightly shut, and he did not see the girl. The night passed without incident. The following day, Lin Tian went to school as usual. On his way there, he still made a point of looking across to the opposite door, but ultimately, he didn''t see the girl. Just when Lin Tian thought he might never see that girl again, the unexpected happened. After the first afternoon ss, just as the ssmates were about to break for a rest, ss head Li Min walked in unexpectedly. Li Min, with his portly figure, came to the front of the ssroom and pped his hands loudly, announcing, "Students, please quiet down, I have something to tell you all." Hearing their ss head''s words, the students who were about to leave their seats all returned to them. Most eyes turned towards Li Min, but some looked towards the door. Lin Tian''s gaze also turned towards the ssroom door, where a girl stood prettily. She hade in with Li Min. At first, Lin Tian paid no particr attention, but upon seeing the girl, his eyes instantly lit up! It was that girl! The girl from yesterday! "Why is she here?" Just as Lin Tian was feeling puzzled, Li Min''s voice on the tform reached his ears, "I want to tell you all, we have a new student in our ss. Let''s give her a warm wee!" With that, Li Min led the apuse.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "p, p..." The ssroom burst into enthusiastic apuse, especially loud from the boys. Whispers from the boys reached Lin Tian''s ears, "She''s a beauty!" "And a super beauty at that! Absolutely campus belle material!" The boys'' eyes glistened as they looked at Bu Mengting. "Come, Mengting!" Li Min beckoned, calling the girl at the door, Bu Mengting, over. Bu Mengting came to the front of the ss, a sweet smile on her face, and introduced herself, "Hello everyone, my name is Bu Mengting. I''m thrilled to be studying with you all. I hope to progress together with everyone in the days ahead!" Having finished, Bu Mengting bowed deeply. "p, p..." Once again, warm apuse rang out in the ssroom. Murmurings started to flow into Lin Tian''s ears, "Her voice sounds very nice, so soft." "Her smile is beautiful too, so sweet!" "Such a pretty name!" The male students looked at Bu Mengting with sparkling eyes. ... Hearing the discussions among his ssmates, Lin Tian rolled his eyes. "Okay, you can sit there for the time being," said Li Min, pointing to a seat behind Lin Tian, after Bu Mengting finished her introduction. The seat behind Lin Tian was initially upied, but the person who sat there had fallen ill and happened to be on leave from school. "Mhm, okay!" Bu Mengting responded, and with her backpack on, she walked toward the seat in question. As Bu Mengting approached him, and when she arrived in front of him, Lin Tian snapped his fingers and raised an eyebrow, "Hey, beauty!" The familiar voice made Bu Mengting pause, and lifting her head, she was somewhat startled to see a familiar face. "Lin Tian, what are you doing!" Before Bu Mengting could say anything, Li Min''s roar came from the podium. Lin Tian looked up to see Li Min looking at him with disgust. Chapter 21 Bang "Lin Tian, what are you doing!" Li Min looked at Lin Tian with a face full of disgust from the podium. Li Min really detested Lin Tian, especially after Lin Tian had embarrassed himst time, Li Min''s disgust towards Lin Tian grew even stronger. Seeing Lin Tian''s actions at this moment, Li Min appeared even more annoyed, feeling that he was being disrespected. "Nothing much, I was just greeting her. I know her!" Lin Tian looked at Li Min with an innocent face. Li Min frowned at Lin Tian but didn''t say anything, just snorted coldly and turned away. Seeing the homeroom teacher leave, Bu Mengting curiously nced at the homeroom teacher, then at Lin Tian, before walking to her seat. As soon as Bu Mengting sat down, Lin Tian turned around and said with a smile, "Beauty, we meet again, must be fate!" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes and, uninterested in acknowledging Lin Tian, buried her head in arranging her books. Lin Tian, finding no amusement in the situation, pursed his lips, turned back around, and stopped trying to chat. After a moment of thought, Lin Tian got up and walked to the next-door ss. Lin Tian wanted to see if Leng Bing had any tasks for him. Arriving outside Leng Bing''s ssroom, Lin Tian did not enter, but simply nced in from the doorway. Seeing no flickering task light on Leng Bing, Lin Tian then turned and walked away. Back in his ssroom, Lin Tian found that Bu Mengting was now surrounded by a bunch of boys. Those boys were obviously trying to curry favor with Bu Mengting. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian smirked and didn''t return to his seat, as it was now upied by several boys. Lin Tian didn''t want to join in themotion around Bu Mengting and, after a thought, decided to rest in the hallway instead. Leaning on the hallway railing, he took a short break. Seeing that it was almost time for ss, Lin Tian was about to enter the ssroom when he suddenly paused, raising his foot, and listened intently to something. As Lin Tian concentrated, the voices of a few students discussing in the corridor below reached his ears: "Chen Xiaoxu seems to be looking for someone!" "He''s looking for the person who hit him. Did you see his face? It''s almost like a pig''s head. He got beaten up!" a person said with schadenfreude. "What? Someone dared to hit him?" an astonished ssmate asked. "Yeah, don''t know who it was, but yesterday they gave Chen Xiaoxu a good beating. Now he''s frantically looking for that person, isn''t he?" "That''s awesome! But seeing Chen Xiaoxu''s pig face is really satisfying!" "Shh, careful, he''sing!" Hearing this, Lin Tian chuckled softly and turned to walk back to the ssroom. Chen Xiaoxu''s retaliation was well within Lin Tian''s expectations, but Lin Tian was not the slightest bit concerned about Chen Xiaoxu''s revenge. With Lin Tian''s current abilities, handling a dozen people bare-handed was no problem at all. Back in the ssroom and seeing that ss was about to start, Lin Tian chased away the students who had upied his seat. No sooner had he settled back into his spot than the bell for ss rang. The second period was chemistry, and as soon as the ss was over, those same students scurried over to cozy up to Bu Mengting again. "Excuse me, do you know how to do this problem?" came Bu Mengting''s crisp and gentle voice from behind. "Uh, uh, uh..." Hearing Bu Mengting''s response, the several ssmates who hade to get close were all dumbfounded. Their grades weren''t that great, and obviously, they had asked the wrong person for help. Seeing their cluelessness, Bu Mengting seemed somewhat disappointed. After a moment''s thought, Bu Mengting curiously asked, "Who''s the best student in your ss? I don''t know how to solve this problem, and I want to ask them." When they heard Bu Mengting''s question, the group of students was startled, thought for a moment, and then all their gazes turned towards Lin Tian. Following the gazes of several people, Bu Mengting saw Lin Tian who was sitting in front of her. Is it him? The moment Bu Mengting saw Lin Tian, she was stunned. His grades are actually the best in the ss? Seeing that Bu Mengting had noticed Lin Tian, someone beside her exined, "Lin Tian got first ce in the grade in thest monthly exam!" "First in the grade!" Bu Mengting eximed in surprise upon hearing this. You should know that this is a regr ss, and he actually got first in the grade? Thinking it over, Bu Mengting wanted to ask Lin Tian for help, but she didn''t know how to start. Meanwhile, Lin Tian, who was seated in front of her, suddenly stiffened as a synthesized electronic voice rang in his mind, "Task: Answer Bu Mengting''s study questions. Task reward: One Supernatural Point!" A task! There''s actually a task now! Hearing this news, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately lit up. Lin Tian quickly turned around and sure enough, he saw a faint red glow shimmering around Bu Mengting. That was the glow of the task. Seeing the red glow flickering on Bu Mengting, Lin Tian smiled slightly, looking very pleased, "ssmate Bu Mengting, do you need any help?" "Um, I want to ask about how to do this problem." After hesitating for a moment, Bu Mengting pointed to a question in the book. "Oh, this question, well, first you have to..." Lin Tian began to exin patiently. Lin Tian exined the problem vividly and in-depth, making the concept easy to grasp for Bu Mengting. "Oh, I see now!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s exnation, Bu Mengting seemed to have an epiphany. At the same time, due to Lin Tian''s exnation, her impression of Lin Tian slightly changed, beginning to feel a bit of fondness. After thinking for a moment, Bu Mengting pointed to another question and said, "How about this one? I''ve been thinking about it for a long time but can''t find the approach." ncing at the question Bu Mengting was pointing to, Lin Tian quickly had the answer appear in his mind. Immediately, he smiled easily and said, "This question is actually like this!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om As Lin Tian exined slowly, Bu Mengting nodded from time to time, appearing very earnest. The few male ssmates beside them stood by idly, watching as Lin Tian exined earnestly and Bu Mengting listened intently, clearly finding themselves without any part to y. They couldn''t interject. After a while, they could only leave, somewhat dejected. Time flew quickly, and the ten minutes of ss break passed in an instant during Lin Tian''s lively and interesting exnation, as the bell for ss rang. Hearing the bell for ss, Bu Mengting seemed somewhat reluctant to part. She felt that Lin Tian exined the problems very interestingly and that she could understand very well, much better than the teacher. At this point, Lin Tian''s image in Bu Mengting''s heart hadpletely changed. After the third ss was over, Bu Mengting patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, somewhat eagerly asking, "Lin Tian, how do you do this problem? I didn''t quite understand the teacher''s exnation just now." "Oh, this problem!" Lin Tian nced at it and began to exin with an easy smile, "First you have to substitute A in, and then..." "Bang!" Suddenly a loud mming of the door interrupted Lin Tian mid-sentence. Lin Tian turned his head in surprise. As soon as he did, he saw someone with a face swollen like a pig''s head, apanied by four or five others, walk in. The moment Lin Tian saw the pig-faced person, that person also saw Lin Tian. Upon seeing Lin Tian, Chen Xiaoxu''s eyes lit up and he shouted, "It''s this little guy, beat him up for me, and make it hurt!" Chapter 22 One Slap After Another "Bang" scared the ssmates into jumping. The ss was stunned for a moment, and everyone turned their gaze toward the ssroom door. As they turned their heads, they saw Chen Xiaoxu, whose face was swollen like a pig''s head, storming in with four or five people fiercely. The moment they saw Chen Xiaoxu, all the students in the ss tensed up. Chen Xiaoxu was a notorious figure; practically no one in the school didn''t know him, and everyone was aware of his bullying. He even dared to hit other students in front of teachers! "It''s this kid, beat him mercilessly!" Chen Xiaoxu''s eyes lit up when he saw Lin Tian, and he waved his hand fiercely, his face malicious. Hearing their leader''smand, the five underlings behind Chen Xiaoxu rushed towards Lin Tian with a sneer. Seeing their actions, the students in the ss were terrified. Because of Chen Xiaoxu''s notoriety, those sitting next to Lin Tian quickly moved away, and the expressions on some of the girls'' faces even turned pale with fear. "Kid, dare to hit our boss!" The underlings behind Chen Xiaoxu charged straight at Lin Tian upon entering, and the person in front pped towards Lin Tian''s head. Seeing a handing towards his head, Lin Tian''s expression turned cold, and he smoothly waved his hand! p! Lin Tian firmly grabbed the man''s wrist. "Huh?" The man was stunned as his hand was unexpectedly caught, showing some surprise. He struggled but couldn''t break free. He tried again with more force, yet he still couldn''t escape. It felt to him as if his wrist was mped by an iron hoop! "Such great strength!" The man looked at Lin Tian in astonishment. Lin Tian coldly nced at the man, stood up, and directly pped him back! p! With a loud p, the man''s right cheek instantly turned red, revealing a bright red handprint on his face. "Buzzing!" As Lin Tian pped him, the man felt dizzy, as if a swarm of bees was circling his head. "Hit!" Seeing Lin Tian striking back at hispanion, the others, far from frightened, became enraged instead. One of them even grabbed a chair nearby and smashed it towards Lin Tian''s back! The metal chair whooshed towards Lin Tian''s back! "Ah!" Seeing this, Bu Mengting, who was somewhat stunned beside him, screamed, her face turning pale. Hearing the scream, Lin Tian, who was about to dodge the chair, paused. If he dodged, the chair could likely hit Bu Mengting. Thinking this, Lin Tian stopped dodging, his mind made up, and in an instant, his back muscles tensed and tightened, ready to take the hit. Bang! The metal chair fiercely struck Lin Tian''s back, but since Lin Tian was prepared, the blow did not cause him significant harm! Despite that, it still hurt a bit! Feeling the burning pain in his back, Lin Tian''s expression grew even colder. He decided not to give these people another chance to attack him, and with that thought, he directly pped the person with the chair. At that moment, the man was somewhat dazed. He had expected his powerful strike to knock Lin Tian down, but the feeling was not like hitting flesh but rather like striking stone. He felt Lin Tian''s back was exceedingly hard! He looked at Lin Tian in amazement, and when he came back to his senses, he felt a heavy p on his face. "Buzzing!" Instantly, his head started buzzing. "p!" As Lin Tian swung his hand, he did not pause, briskly stepping forward and raising his hand again towards the others. p, p! Several more ps followed! These ps left the remaining men dazed. They had thought about blocking Lin Tian with their hands but his strength was too great, it was useless. Lin Tian easily gave each one a p.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "p, p!" A few more consecutive ps and within seconds he had dealt with all of them. The five who originally nned to teach Lin Tian a lesson now stood there somewhat bewildered. Everyone''s face bore a fresh red handprint, and their cheeks started to swell. After a moment, the initial man regained his senses, raised his head fiercely, and looked at Lin Tian: "You..." "p!" Before he could finish speaking, Lin Tian directly pped him again. The world quieted down once more, and the man''s left cheek also bore a fresh red handprint. Lin Tian coldly swept his gaze over the men; following his look, all five instinctively avoided his gaze. They were all frightened by Lin Tian! Monster! Lin Tian was like a monster, a monster with immense strength! Seeing that he had scared the five men, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned to look towards Chen Xiaoxu not far away. Lin Tian stared at him and slowly stepped forward. "What, what are you doing¡­" Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Chen Xiaoxu took a big jump. Lin Tian coldly looked at him and slowly took a few more steps forward. "Don''t, don''te over!" Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Chen Xiaoxu looked very nervous and even subconsciously stepped back a few paces. Ultimately, Lin Tian stopped. He didn''t want to escte the situation further. Lin Tian coldly looked at Chen Xiaoxu and his group, and icily said, "Scram!" Following Lin Tian''s words, Chen Xiaoxu and his group hurriedly left, looking like a defeated dog. With Chen Xiaoxu and his group gone, the ssroom was silent. All the ssmates were staring at Lin Tian, mouths agape. Exaggerated! That was too exaggerated, right? In just a few seconds, a p to each person had subdued five men and even scared away the notoriously bad Chen Xiaoxu. How is this possible¡­ Everyone was staring at Lin Tian dazedly. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was quietly straightening the disordered chairs and tables and tidying up the scattered books. For Lin Tian, teaching these few a lesson was all too easy. How strong was he now? A full eighteen times the strength of an ordinary person! Was dealing with a few unarmed men even a challenge? Chapter 23 Feeling The ssmates inside the ssroom were all staring nkly at Lin Tian as he busied himself picking up the books scattered on the floor and straightening the tilted desks and chairs. After staring for a while, Wang Gang came over from not far away with a face full of surprise, incredulously sizing up Lin Tian, "Holy crap, Lin Tian, did you take a Power Pill? That''s freaking amazing!" Lin Tian ced thest book on the desk, looked up, and smiled faintly, "Didn''t you know I have Innate Divine Strength?" "Yeah right, keep dreaming!" Wang Gang rolled his eyes with a bit of disdain. But right after that, he curiously pinched Lin Tian''s arm, "Let me see why you''re so strong!" "Holy crap, your muscles are really firm!" After pinching, Wang Gang got a good feel of the bulging muscles on Lin Tian''s arm. Ever since he acquired the "Ox Power Technique," Lin Tian''s originally somewhat frail body had be much firmer, with muscles bulging everywhere. Lin Tian lightly waved his hand to shake off Wang Gang''s hand, looking at him with an expression of speechlessness, "I''m not made of ss!" Having said that, Lin Tian turned his head and asked Bu Mengting, who was still somewhat dazed, "Want to go back together?" "Ah? Oh!" Bu Mengting was startled for a moment and then nodded lightly. "Then let''s go!" Lin Tian shook his head and turned to walk out of the ssroom. Seeing Lin Tian leave, Bu Mengting hesitated for a moment before following him. After Lin Tian left, the ssroom, which was somewhat quiet earlier, started to be a bit noisy. "Didn''t I see it wrong, did Lin Tian really beat up Chen Xiaoxu and the others just now?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "When did Lin Tian be so powerful?" ... Lin Tian headed toward the parking lot while walking, turning his head back and smiling at Bu Mengting who was following, "Hurry up, hey, do you have a bike?" "No, I take the bus." Bu Mengting gently shook her head. "Why take the bus? Ride with me." Lin Tian raised his eyebrows and smiled. Bu Mengting was silent for a while and for some reason, she didn''t object. Five minutester, Lin Tian was carrying Bu Mengting on his bike, heading home. This time, Lin Tian didn''t ride deliberately fast but went forward at a steady speed. Sitting on the rear seat of Lin Tian''s bicycle, Bu Mengting was holding onto the steel frame of the seat, asionally lifting her head to look at Lin Tian in front. At this moment, Lin Tian seemed to be in a good mood, riding the bicycle and even starting to hum a tune, "Yo! Yo! Yo! Check it out! Hey! Hey! Hey!" While humming the tune, Lin Tian was also shaking his body, seeming to be in quite a good mood. "Why didn''t you dodge earlier?" A crisp voice came from behind when Lin Tian was immersed in his own music world. "What?" Lin Tian didn''t hear clearly, turned his head curiously and asked. "I said why didn''t you dodge earlier when that person hit you with the chair!" Bu Mengting quietly looked at Lin Tian, her big ck eyes twinkling. "Hmm..." Lin Tian pedaled the bike, pondered for a moment, and replied, "If I had dodged, he might have hit you!" "Really?" Bu Mengting''s big ck eyes flickered slightly, she thought to herself. After a silence, Bu Mengting nced at Lin Tian''s back and asked softly, "Does it hurt?" "Not too bad, just a little!" Lin Tianughed it off, seeming somewhat indifferent. "Stop the bike!" "What''s wrong?" Hearing the voice behind him, Lin Tian pulled over to the side of the road, turned his head in curiosity, and looked at Bu Mengting. By this time, Bu Mengting had already gotten off the car. Approaching Lin Tian, she stood quietly in front of him. "Let me check you. If there''s any problem, it''s good to go to the hospital, and fortunately, the hospital is right nearby." As she spoke, Bu Mengting pointed to the People''s Hospital not far from them. "Is that necessary?" Lin Tian responded with surprise. Bu Mengting didn''t speak, but instead approached and lifted Lin Tian''s white T-shirt. "What are you doing?" Lin Tian was startled and wanted to stop her, but ultimately he remained still. As Bu Mengting lifted his shirt, Lin Tian''s back was directly exposed to her gaze, and the first thing that caught her eye was his suntanned skin. However, at that moment, there were two thumb-sized red blood marks on his skin. Bu Mengting stretched out her fair fingers and gently touched the blood marks, whispering, "Does it hurt?" "No... it doesn''t hurt!" As Bu Mengting''s fair fingers touched Lin Tian''s skin, he felt his whole body shiver. As Bu Mengting''s hand gently traced over his skin, an unusual sensation spread throughout his body. "Really doesn''t hurt?" Bu Mengting lifted her head, looking at Lin Tian with some doubt. "Really, it doesn''t hurt!" At that moment, Lin Tian appeared somewhat nervous. For some reason, even his breathing became a bit hurried. "Are you really okay?" Bu Mengting asked again for confirmation. "Yes, I''m fine!" After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian responded. "Oh, okay then!" By that time, passersby were asionally ncing over at them. The gazes of these people made Bu Mengting a bit embarrassed. Once sure that Lin Tian was okay, she withdrew her hand. With Bu Mengting''s hand withdrawn from his skin, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and yet for some reason, he felt a sense of loss. Lin Tian continued driving towards the residentialplex where they lived. However, he appeared somewhat preupied along the way. He was still thinking about that sensation. It was a strange feeling, partly nervous, partly excited, partly expectant... It reminded Lin Tian of the kiss He Qianqian had once given him. The feeling was somewhat simr to when He Qianqian kissed him, but upon reflecting more deeply, it was also somewhat different. Like an apple and a pear, both are fruits, but they indeed have different tastes. With these thoughts, Lin Tian didn''t snap out of it until they had arrived at the residentialplex. Lin Tian shook his head, trying to shake off that strange sensation and once again focused his attention on his tasks. "I haven''t received a taskpletion notification yet, so it seems like that task to assist Bu Mengting in her studies isn''t finished yet. I don''t know when it will be done," Lin Tian muttered to himself as he continued walking with Bu Mengting to their building. "I''m here, bye-bye!" Arriving at her uncle''s doorstep, Bu Mengting turned around, revealed a sweet smile to Lin Tian, and waved her hand gently. "Ah? Oh! Bye-bye!" Lin Tian was momentarily startled, then he looked up and waved his hand. Only after Bu Mengting had gone in and closed the door did Lin Tian somewhate back to his senses, thinking to himself, "Did she just smile at me? I must say, she has a very cute smile! Very pleasing to the eye!" While silently thinking, Lin Tian pulled out his keys to open the door. Lin Tian could feel that his rtionship with Bu Mengting had made a qualitative leap. They had gone from strangers to friends, at least Bu Mengting had acknowledged him as such. Chapter 24 Coincidental Encounter At 7 PM, after finishing homework and watching TV for a while, Lin Tian found himself feeling a bit bored and decided to go out for a walk. Today was Friday, and there was no evening self-study, so Lin Tian didn''t go to school that night. After changing his clothes and informing his parents, Lin Tian opened his room door. Just as he opened the door, Lin Tian was startled to discover that the door opposite was opening at the same time. "Lin Tian?" A voice, tinged with a hint of surprise, came from across the door. Lin Tian looked up and saw Bu Mengting looking at him with some surprise. Looking at the girl before him, Lin Tian smiled slightly and asked, "Have you eaten?" "I have, what about you?" Bu Mengting asked with a smile as she bent down to set the garbage bag she was holding in the hallway. It was then that Lin Tian noticed the ck garbage bag in Bu Mengting''s hand. "I''ve eaten too. Are you taking out the trash?" ncing at the garbage bag Bu Mengting had ced at the corner of the wall, Lin Tian asked with a smile. "Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded lightly, then hesitated for a moment before she asked with a bit of embarrassment, "Do you have time right now?" "What''s up?" Lin Tian asked curiously. "Um..." Bu Mengting seemed slightly embarrassed and lowered her head a little, "I, I have some questions that I can''t solve. Could you help me with them?" Upon hearing Bu Mengting''s words, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up and he smiled, "No problem!" As Lin Tian was closing the door to his house, he thought to himself, "This shouldplete the task, right? After all, the reward is just one Supernatural Point." When Bu Mengting asked for his help, Lin Tian had thought about the upleted task. Lin Tian followed Bu Mengting into her room. Bu Mengting introduced him to her uncle. Bu Mengting''s uncle gave Lin Tian a curious look but didn''t say anything. Although Lin Tian''s family had lived opposite his, the two families had never interacted before. Upon entering Bu Mengting''s room, Lin Tian noticed that her desk was still covered with textbooks, clearly indicating that she had been doing her homework not long before. Lin Tian sat down next to Bu Mengting and asked with a smile, "Where are you stuck?" "It''s this..." As soon as the topic of homework came up, Bu Mengting became serious.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "This question, it''s actually quite simple. What don''t you understand about it?" Lin Tian began to exin earnestly. ... "No, this line, you should draw it like this, see, now you have an extra right angle. Look here..." Lin Tian moved his chair closer to Bu Mengting, took the pen from her hand, and started drawing in the notebook. As he moved closer, a faint fragrance wafted into Lin Tian''s nostrils. "Oh!" Bu Mengting nodded her head from time to time as she listened to Lin Tian''s exnations. ... Lin Tian watched quietly as Bu Mengting did her homework, asionally smelling a hint of the girl''s fragrance. It was a pleasant sensation for him. "A feast for the eyes, is that what they mean?" Lin Tian mused inwardly while looking at Bu Mengting''s serious expression and her delicate features. "How do you do this problem?" At that moment, Bu Mengting suddenly frowned and pointed at one of the questions with her delicate finger. "Oh, this one?" Lin Tian nced at it, found it inconvenient, and stood up behind Bu Mengting to exin as he took her pen. ... "How about now? Do you understand?" After four or five minutes, Lin Tian set down the pen and asked. As he spoke, he straightened his back which had been bent the whole time. Just as Lin Tian straightened up, he stiffened and was stunned! As time had slipped by unnoticed, and Bu Mengting finished her homework, Lin Tian even felt a sense of loss. It was only slightly alleviated by the synthetic electronic voice that echoed in his mind. As soon as Bu Mengting finished her homework, a voice inside Lin Tian''s mind announced, "Taskpleted, reward of one Superpower Point granted." "Oh my, it''s half-past nine, it''s gotten sote!" Bu Mengting eximed just as Lin Tian focused on the voice in his mind. Lin Tian came back to his senses, looked up at the wall clock, and indeed, it was already half-past nine. "Thank you for the help. Would you like to sit for a while?" Bu Mengting said, gratitude showing on her face. Lin Tian looked at the clock, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Never mind, it''s gettingte, I should head back." "Then alright, I''ll walk you out!" ... After leaving Bu Mengting''s house and going to unlock his own door, Lin Tian thought for a moment and put his keys back in his pocket, deciding instead to go for a walk. He wanted to calm himself. Upon reaching outside themunity, Lin Tian began walking aimlessly forward, diverting his attention to the topic of superpowers. As he walked, Lin Tian thought to himself, "Now I have two Supernatural Points, enough to exchange for some stuff. But I''m not in a hurry; I can save them and exchange when needed. After all, I can exchange these superpowers anytime." Walking on, Lin Tian found himself unconsciously in People''s Park, not far from home. By then it was quitete, and there were few people left in the park. "How did I end up here?" Lin Tian was slightly astonished to realize he had wandered this far without knowing it. Lin Tian scanned the surroundings, which were eerily quiet, "It''s quitete now, I should head back, or mom will start nagging again." "Hm?" In the moment Lin Tian turned around, he froze. He saw a familiar figure. "That is?" Looking at the girl in the white blouse ahead, Lin Tian furrowed his brows in confusion, "Isn''t that Teacher He?" Thinking this, Lin Tian''s gaze moved to the person next to He Qianqian, and upon recognizing this individual, he furrowed his brows. Wang Feng! It was actually Wang Feng! At that moment, He Qianqian and Wang Feng were walking hand in hand through the park. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian pursed his lips, clearly annoyed. He watched the two for a while, until they disappeared into the woods and were out of sight, then Lin Tian withdrew his gaze. Even though the scene irked Lin Tian, there wasn''t much he could do; after all, Wang Feng was He Qianqian''s boyfriend. "Bad luck!" Lin Tian kicked out in frustration and forcefully exhaled, turning to leave. "Ah! What are you doing?" Yet before he had taken many steps, a startled scream suddenly reached Lin Tian''s ears. Lin Tian''s body suddenly halted! It was Teacher He''s voice. Lin Tian swiftly turned around and dashed over! Chapter 25 A Loud Shout "Ah! What are you doing?" Hearing that, Lin Tianyi was startled and immediately turned around, rushing towards what was behind him! That was Teacher He''s voice! Smack! Smack! Lin Tian moved quickly; after turning past a small grove, he saw a scene not far ahead. The scene before him made Lin Tian furrow his brows. He lifted his foot as if to step forward, but then paused, considering his next move, and continued to observe the developments from a distance. "You¡­ what do you want to do?" At that moment, He Qianqian appeared somewhat lost, her pale face flickering with unease. She involuntarily moved to hide behind Wang Feng. "Babe, have a few drinks with us, we won''t do anything to you!" By then, six young men had already surrounded the two of them, evidently drunk from their stuporous appearances. Even from ten meters away, Lin Tian could faintly smell the alcohol reeking from them. Lin Tian''s gaze swept past the young men to thewn behind them where several empty liquor bottles and some peanut shells were scattered. Lin Tian watched quietly, in no hurry to step forward. "Huff, huff!" He Qianqian''s breathing was hurried due to nervousness. From the leering looks these men gave her, it was clear they harbored no good intentions. Given they had been drinking, they really might do anything. Thinking this, He Qianqian became even more nervous, hiding behind Wang Feng with her small hand tightly clutching his sleeve. "Gulp!" Wang Feng swallowed nervously, chuckling at the six surrounding him, "Bros, let''s talk this out. I have some money here, let''s use it to buy you guys a drink!" As he spoke, Wang Feng nervously reached into his pocket and pulled out a ck wallet. Opening the wallet and hesitating, Wang Feng drew out a stack of money and handed it to the six men while forcedly smiling, "Consider this for your drinks!" "Hand it over!" One of them pped the money out of Wang Feng''s hand. After a quick count, the man''s expression changed, and he snatched the wallet from Wang Feng''s hands, cursing, "Damn, is this change supposed to satisfy beggars!" Wang Feng stood still, feeling a sting over the loss of his wallet, yet he dared not speak up. After a while, Wang Feng chuckled nervously, "Brothers, consider the money a gift. It''s gettingte, so I''ll head off first!" Saying this, Wang Feng prepared to slowly back away. But as Wang Feng retreated, the others immediately gathered around. At that moment, the man who had been counting the money lifted his head and looked at Wang Feng with a crooked smirk, "Did I say you could leave?" "Bro, what do you mean?" Wang Feng felt a chill run through him. "Didn''t I just say, have your girl join us for a drink, we won''t do anything!" The man eyed Wang Feng with a smirk, then leeringly nced at He Qianqian hiding behind him. The unabashed, leering look made He Qianqian feel extremely ufortable, as if his gaze was tangible. "Such a pretty babe, top-notch indeed!" Seeing He Qianqian''s pale face, the manughed heartily. "Bro, leave some room for decency," Wang Feng said, maintaining his stance despite being very anxious. "Bro! You also call me ''bro''?" The man''s expression suddenly changed, and he quickly stepped forward and pped Wang Feng! Smack! Wang Feng instantly felt a burning sensation on his right cheek! "You¡­" Wang Feng was shocked, then became somewhat angry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Disagree?" Seeing Wang Feng''s expression, the man sneered as he pulled out a knife from his pocket. Seeing the glistening knife in the man''s hand, Wang Feng instantly felt a chill down his spine, his body stiffening in ce. What frightened Wang Feng even more was that as this man drew his knife, the other five also took out their knives! The ten-centimeter-long knives, under the cold, silvery moonlight, felt chillingly cold. Seeing the fear in Wang Feng''s eyes, the man initiallyughed, lifted his head, and motioned to He Qianqian hiding behind Wang Feng, "Babe,e here!" He Qianqian, hiding behind Wang Feng, looked very tense. Hearing the man''s words, she moved even further back. "Heh!" The man chuckled coldly, took a sudden step forward, and shouted, "Come here!" The man grabbed He Qianqian''s arm and yanked her toward him! "Ah!" With a scream, He Qianqian was involuntarily pulled forward a few steps. "Qianqian!" Wang Feng was startled and about to step forward, but suddenly several shiny daggers appeared before his eyes. Looking at the cold daggers in front of him, Wang Feng felt cold sweat breaking out all over his body, and he became rigid, unable to move his feet. "Come here!" The man grabbed He Qianqian''s arm, pulled hard again, and directly pulled her to his side. "Ah! Don''t! Feng, save me!" He Qianqian''s face instantly turned pale. "Let''s go! Come have a drink with the brothers!" The man yanked He Qianqian to his side, then roughly dragged her toward the grass ahead. "No! What are you doing! Help! Feng, save me!" He Qianqian struggled while desperately shouting. But He Qianqian''s strength was much weakerpared to the burly man''s, and despite her constant struggling, she was ultimately dragged forward by the man''s firm grasp. "Beautiful, stop shouting. You know how empty People''s Park is thiste; there''s no one around!" The man sneered, continuing to drag He Qianqian forward. "Don''t! Don''t! Save me! Feng, save me!" He Qianqian screamed in despair and terror while continuously struggling. Listening to He Qianqian''s cries, Wang Feng''s face turned alternately pale and flushed. He wanted to move, but his feet just wouldn''t respond, and the shiny daggers before his eyes left himpletely devoid of courage. "Help! Feng, save me!" He Qianqian kept shouting. But she realized Wang Feng was not moving at all; he simply didn''t dare toe over! She felt desperate, regretting her decision toe to the park sote, especially knowing it was unsafe! She regretted it! "Come, sit down!" When they got to the grass, the man forcefully pressed He Qianqian down to sit. "Don''t!" As soon as she sat down, He Qianqian got up and tried to run. "Smack!" But her arm was immediately grabbed by the man. "Where do you think you''re going?" At that moment, another man came over and directly pulled He Qianqian to the ground. Following him were two more men! Four men! Four burly men immediately surrounded He Qianqian. Crouching on the ground, He Qianqian looked up in terror at the four burly men encircling her. A glimmer of despair appeared in her beautiful eyes while Wang Feng, not far away, didn''t dare to move. Desperation! He Qianqian felt utterly hopeless! She wanted to cry! "Come here!" At that moment, one man abruptly pulled He Qianqian toward him! "Ah!" Suddenly, a loud scream pierced the air! It wasn''t He Qianqian''s voice but the man''s voice! As he reached out to grab He Qianqian, she suddenly bit him fiercely! Looking at his blood-soaked thumb, irritation shed across the man''s face, and he raised his hand to p her: "Shit, you bitch!" "Hey!" A booming shout suddenly erupted! The shout rose abruptly, like a sudden p of thunder, startling everyone and halting the man''s raised hand. All eyes turned toward the direction of the voice. Hearing this voice, He Qianqian was initially stunned, then overjoyed, looking expectantly in the direction it came from. Under He Qianqian''s gaze, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the trees. Seeing this person, He Qianqian was taken aback. It was him! Chapter 26 Fight! Is that him? At the sight of the figure appearing, He Qianqian was startled; the person waspletely beyond her expectations! Lin Tian! It was actually Lin Tian! Not only was He Qianqian stunned, but Wang Feng was also frozen in shock, staring nkly at Lin Tian. The initial shout had made the thugs a bit nervous, but upon seeing who had arrived, they all rxed. One of them even cursed out loud, "Scram, kid, or I''ll thrash you!" The moment Qianqian saw Lin Tian, the hope that had been kindled within her was extinguished. But suddenly, something stirred in her heart, and she shouted at Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, I told you to call the police. You did call them, right?" After that, Qianqian warned the thugs, looking at them, "This is my student. I had just told him to call the cops. If you leave now, there''s still time!" At He Qianqian''s words, the thugs were startled and all turned their gazes toward Lin Tian. Hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian was taken aback, but he quickly grasped her intention. He couldn''t help but admire He Qianqian''s quick thinking,ing up with such a n at a time like this. However, Lin Tian had no intention of doing as He Qianqian had said. He didn''t want to let these thugs off so easily. Lin Tian stepped forward slowly, his gaze coldly sweeping over the thugs as he said indifferently, "Don''t worry, I didn''t call the cops!" At Lin Tian''s words, everyone was dumbfounded, and a flicker of despair shed through He Qianqian''s eyes. Lin Tian was too foolish! The thugs, however, burst intoughter. "Haha, the kid''s really ying along. I was a bit worried just now!" they eximed. Lin Tian ignored their mockery, advancing slowly and staring at them coldly, he dered, "The reason I didn''t call the police is that I don''t want to just let you go like that!" A sh of helplessness and despair crossed He Qianqian''s eyes. Seeing Lin Tian still wanting toe over, she screamed at him, "Lin Tian, run! Go call the cops!" Hearing He Qianqian''s voice, the thugs snapped back to their senses, and instantly two of them got up and charged at Lin Tian. They aimed to stop Lin Tian from escaping. "Run!" He Qianqian yelled. But Lin Tian didn''t move, and he even halted his steps, as if waiting for the two thugs toe at him. In the moment the two thugs rushed at him, Lin Tian suddenly sprang into action and kicked one of them in the stomach! Thud! The thug was sent flying a meter away by Lin Tian''s kick! Seeing this scene, everyone was slightly taken aback. After a pause, the other thug threw a punch straight at Lin Tian''s head. Lin Tian raised his arm to block! Pop! With a light sound, the thug''s expression changed as his punch felt like it had hit a stone. Lin Tian had already tensed his muscles, making them extremely hard. The thug looked at Lin Tian with a mix of shock and suspicion. Lin Tian did not give the man a chance to react and pped his face hard with his hand. "Smack!" With a crisp sound, the thug was sent flying andnded on the ground, groaning in pain. At this turn of events, all were shocked. The remaining thugs watched Lin Tian with surprise, and then one of them shouted, "Bring the weapons!" At the shout, the rest drew their gleaming daggers and charged at Lin Tian. All four were armed with daggers! Seeing their knives, Lin Tian was startled, but he charged at them without fear. "Ah!" He Qianqian screamed in rm, seeing what was unfolding. Since all the thugs were now focused on Lin Tian, Wang Feng was no longer threatened. Seeing this, Wang Feng hurried to He Qianqian and helped her up, speaking urgently, "Qianqian, we have to get away fast!" "Lin Tian!" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, who was fighting with the thugs, with concern. She had even seen one of them sh Lin Tian''s arm with a knife. Instantly, the sleeve of Lin Tian''s shirt was dyed red with blood.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Wang Feng turned to look at Lin Tian, who was grappling with the criminals, and seeing the shiny daggers in the thugs'' hands, fear shed in his eyes. "We must go. Forget about him!" he urged anxiously. "No!" He Qianqian shook her head resolutely, looking up at Wang Feng, "You go help him, I''m calling the police now!" "Are you joking? You want me to get killed?" Wang Feng looked at He Qianqian with an angry expression. He Qianqian pursed her lips and did not speak, instead taking out her phone to dial 110. But just as she was about to call, the scene in front of her made her freeze in shock. Noticing He Qianqian''s expression, Wang Feng also turned his head to look. Seeing the scene before him, Wang Feng was also stunned. "How is this possible?" Wang Feng murmured incredulously to himself. Chapter 27 Angry Lin Tian After knocking down two people, four others directly pulled out daggers and charged at Lin Tian. Seeing the gleaming daggers in their hands, Lin Tian was startled. Though he was a bit nervous inside, Lin Tian didn''t back down, and a streak of ferocity even shed in his eyes as he charged forward. Seeing Lin Tian rush over, a trace of viciousness shed in the eyes of the four men as they thrust their daggers at him! Swoosh! Swoosh! Startled by the ring knives, Lin Tian reflexively raised his hand to block. Puuchi! Puuchi! All four daggers were blocked by Lin Tian''s arms, but despite this, his arms were shed by the des. Threads of fresh blood flowed from the wounds, soaking the sleeves red! Ouch! Pain shot from the wounds! Even though Lin Tian had tensed his muscles, making the cuts not too deep, it still hurt a lot! Seeing Lin Tian block with his arms, the four men were stunned for a moment, then, with ruthlessness in their hearts, they stabbed at Lin Tian''s stomach! Lin Tian instinctively blocked again! Puuchi! Puuchi! The tips of the knives pierced into Lin Tian''s arms, but there was one that went straight for his abdomen! However, after stabbing in about a centimeter, it couldn''t go any further, as if it had hit a piece of cowhide. Seeing this scene, the man was slightly stunned; he couldn''t believe his sharp dagger couldn''t prate? Lin Tian paid no attention to the man''s astonishment! Ow, ow, ow! It hurt so badly! The pain elicited a surge of viciousness in Lin Tian, and he stopped defending altogether. Taking advantage of a lull in the attackers'' onught, he swung his arms forward fiercely! Smack! Smack! Smack! All four men were sent flying by the sweep of the enraged Lin Tian! And just then, He Qianqian had witnessed this shocking moment, seeing Lin Tian sweep the four men in front of him away with his bare hands. He Qianqian stared nkly at Lin Tian, her face filled with disbelief. Wang Feng also gaped at this scene. He hadn''t seen the action before, only the moment when the four men were sent flying. Nevertheless, he could imagine what had happened. "Phew!" After sweeping the four men away, Lin Tian panted heavily, the pain from the wounds still trickling in. But now the pain couldn''t affect Lin Tian too much; it only spurred him on even more. Gulping down a breath, Lin Tian''s eyes red, his face somewhat fierce as he walked toward one of the men on the ground. And at this moment, the four meny on the ground, unable to rise, moaning continuously. Ow, ow, ow! All four felt an excruciating pain, as if a solid iron rod had swept across them during the earlier attack. Monster! This was nothing short of monstrous strength! "Ah..." One of themy on the ground, moaning continuously. Suddenly, his vision darkened, and then he saw Lin Tian''s fierce face in front of him. Startled by Lin Tian''s sudden appearance before him, fear shed in the man''s eyes; Lin Tian''s strength had left a deep impression. Now, feeling so unwell that he couldn''t even pick up his dagger. Coldly sweeping his gaze over the man, Lin Tian finally stopped his eyes on his right hand. Lin Tian remembered clearly it was this man who had grabbed He Qianqian with his right hand. Thinking back to that moment, Lin Tian''s heart turned cold, and he approached the man''s right hand, squatting down. Seeing Lin Tian staring at his right hand, the man had a bad premonition and struggled to move backwards, attempting to escape while expressing some fear, "What... what are you doing?" Lin Tian ignored him, grabbed his right hand, and twisted it directly! Crack! "Ah!" Along with the sound of bones breaking, a scream akin to ughtering a pig rang out. The sudden scream startled everyone. All onlookers stared dumbfounded. And at this moment, the man lying on the ground had his right arm grotesquely twisted. Broken! This man''s right arm was broken by Lin Tian! The scene quieted down instantly, leaving only the loud cries of the man echoing. Without a shred of pity, Lin Tian nced at the man and got up, heading towards another. "Don''te over here!" Seeing Lin Tian approach, the man shouted in terror. He struggled to get up, but his waist felt weak, and try as he might, he couldn''t rise. Reaching the man, Lin Tian didn''t waste words, squatting down and twisting the arm at once! Crack! The man''s arm was broken by Lin Tian''s twist! After dealing with him, Lin Tian walked towards the next person. Crack! Crack!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om One after another, arms were broken by Lin Tian! By the time he got to the fifth man, this person finally got up just as Lin Tian was approaching and immediately ran away in terror. But injured as he was, he was too slow and quickly caught by Lin Tian, who broke his arm yet again! Crack! Then the sixth man also had his arm broken by Lin Tian! The ce was filled with screams of agony. Wang Feng and He Qianqian watched dumbstruck; so shocked by the rapid events, they even forgot to stop Lin Tian. "You..." It took a good while before He Qianqian, in some astonishment, looked at Lin Tian not far away. Hearing He Qianqian''s voice, Lin Tian took a deep breath and forced a smile, "Teacher He, let''s go." "What about them?" He Qianqian looked worriedly at the six men lying on the ground, making unceasing noises. "It''s okay, they won''t die, they''ll be able to stand up after a while," Lin Tian said lightly, ncing at the moaning six on the ground. Lin Tian didn''t want to kill, so he had merely broken their arms; their lives weren''t in danger. "Let''s go quickly!" Seeing He Qianqian still hesitating, Lin Tian urged. Chapter 28 Bite You Lin Tian was unaware of what was happening on the other side of the school, and at that moment, he was quietly opening the door at the entrance of his home. He tiptoed open the door, and although the living room lights were still on, it was very quiet and empty inside. Lin Tian cautiously scanned the area and then tiptoed back to his room. As soon as he reached his room, Lin Tian quickly changed out of his clothes into new ones. No sooner had he changed than there was a knock on the door, "Lin Tian, are you back?" It was Shi Qing''s voice. "Ah? Oh, yes!" Lin Tian quickly hid his dirty clothes and opened the door. As he opened the door, he saw his mother ring at him with a frosty face, "What are you ying at,ing back sote? Where have you been?" "Uh..." Lin Tian hurriedly exined. ... Half an hourter, Lin Tian sighed in relief, having finally managed to send his mother away. Lin Tian wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and sighed in relief, "Finally got away with it." He looked up at the clock on the wall and realized it was already midnight. "It''s already midnight, no wonder I''m so sleepy," Lin Tian yawned, preparing to sleep. A quiet night passed, and the next morning Lin Tian drove Bu Mengting to school together. Lin Tian thought he would have a peaceful day, but there was a slight incident during the third period in the morning. Right after the third period, Lin Tian was called into the office by the ss teacher and severely scolded. The reason, naturally, was due to the fight with Chen Xiaoxu and his group. The school had already issued a warning to Lin Tian, but he noticed that there was no punishment for Chen Xiaoxu, who had instigated the trouble. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Lin Tian didn''t bother to care about it. A warning was just a warning; he didn''t need that kind of reputation anymore. With the Supernatural Ability System, Lin Tian really didn''t care about these things.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om However, Lin Tian felt somewhat relieved that this time the school hadn''t notified the parents. Otherwise, he would have had to endure another lecture from his mother. After school in the morning and lunch, Bu Mengting told Lin Tian that her uncle had bought her a bicycle, so she wouldn''t need to ride in Lin Tian''s car anymore. However, they would still go to school together. Hearing this news, Lin Tian was slightly disappointed, but he didn''t mind too much. After lunch, he went to school with Bu Mengting and attended sses calmly. In the afternoon, after the second period, what surprised Lin Tian during the break was that He Qianqian actually came over. Today, she didn''t even have any sses. After warmly greeting his ssmates, He Qianqian walked straight towards Lin Tian. He Qianqian nced at Lin Tian, and then a look of astonishment shed across her eyes. Seeing Lin Tian''s smooth arm, He Qianqian appeared puzzled. After thinking for a moment, He Qianqian patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, "Come here for a second." Then Lin Tian followed He Qianqian out of the ssroom. As soon as Lin Tian left the ssroom, a whispering murmur came from behind him, "Damn, Teacher He is taking Lin Tian out again; that guy has some serious dogshit luck." He Qianqian and Lin Tian came to a quiet corner. Seeing that there was no one around, He Qianqian stopped and looked doubtfully at Lin Tian''s arm, "Your arm?" "My arm is healed!" Lin Tian smiled as he lifted his arm and turned it left and right, allowing He Qianqian a closer look. "It''s healed?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian incredulously, gently grasping and caressing his arm in disbelief. As He Qianqian held his arm, Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat, feeling his heartbeat quicken. Lin Tian felt He Qianqian''s hands were very soft and delicate, like silk. Being close, a faint scent wafted into Lin Tian''s nostrils, and he could also get a closer look at He Qianqian''s exquisite face. He Qianqian''s skin was very fair and delicate; you could hardly see any pores. Her delicate little face was like a perfect piece of art. "How is this possible?" After examining Lin Tian''s arm carefully and confirming that the injury was indeedpletely healed, He Qianqian looked up in surprise. When she looked up, she saw Lin Tian gazing intently at her. Feeling Lin Tian''s gaze, He Qianqian''s face blushed slightly, and she sniffed, "What are you looking at?" "Ah, nothing, it''s just that you''re so beautiful, Teacher!" Lin Tian averted his gaze, chuckling nervously. "What does a little kid know?" He Qianqian pouted and, still holding Lin Tian''s arm, asked, "How did your injury heal?" "Oh, that. I''ve had a strong self-healing ability since I was young. That little injuryst night healed after a night''s sleep!" Lin Tian made up a small lie on the spot. "Really?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian skeptically. "Of course it''s true!" Lin Tian puffed up his chest proudly. Frowning, He Qianqian gave Lin Tian another scrutinizing look before she examined his arm again. She was still somewhat in disbelief that such a miraculous thing could happen. The scene of He Qianqian holding Lin Tian''s arm and checking it was clearly seen by Wang Feng from not too far away. Seeing this, Wang Feng''s face turned ashen, and he cursed softly, "Bitch!" Last night, Wang Feng''s humble attempts to please had not swayed He Qianqian''s heart back. Already in a bad mood, the sight of this just made Wang Feng even more furious. At the same time, he grew even more resentful towards Lin Tian. ** After a thorough check and seeing no issues, He Qianqian finally let go of his arm, smiled at Lin Tian, and said, "I was a bit worried about you, but seeing how you are now, I feel much more relieved." Chapter 29 Clairvoyant Ability For Lin Tian, the following days were peaceful yet fulfilling. Besides chatting with the beauty Bu Mengting, his routine was to make his presence known to He Qianqian. Life was tranquil, and Lin Tian thoroughly enjoyed this lifestyle. The only regret he had was that more than a week had passed and he still hadn''t received any new tasks. Whether it was He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, or Leng Bing, Lin Tian saw no mission prompts on any of them. "If I could justplete a small task now and then, umte some Supernatural Points, that would be even more wonderful," Lin Tian thought to himself about the calm days. While thinking, Lin Tian walked into the ssroom with Bu Mengting. A week had passed since hest parted with He Qianqian that night, and now Lin Tian was entering the ssroom with Bu Mengting. As soon as he entered the ssroom, Lin Tian noticed that the ssmates were gathered in small groups, looking excited as if they were discussing something. Lin Tian listened intently and overheard bits of conversation: "Did you buy any? I won a hundred today!" "Forget it, I''ve just thrown away thirty bucks for nothing!" said another student, looking dejected. "I heard someone from ss 10 won ten thousand!" "Ten thousand? For real?" The other student looked shocked upon hearing this number. "Of course, it''s true; lots of people know about it!" "Lucky dog, such dumb luck!" another student said enviously. Lin Tian furrowed his brows, a trace of confusion shed in his eyes, not knowing what his ssmates were discussing. After a moment''s thought, Lin Tian put his books on his desk and moved closer to listen. ... Ten minutester, Lin Tian returned to his seat. From inquiring, Lin Tian finally understood what his ssmates were discussing. They were actually talking about the lottery. ording to his ssmates, there was a live lottery draw happening at Binjiang Square. This lottery had started today and wouldst for a total of seven days. Due to the apparently high win rate, coupled with the host''s hype, arge number of people were taking part in the lottery. Binjiang Square was quite close to the school, so many students had gone to try their luck. "Lottery..." Thinking of the lottery, Lin Tian licked his lips, his eyes twinkling, obviously pondering something. "Why are so many people going for the lottery?" Bu Mengting, sitting behind him, pouted. She had now learned what the ssmates were discussing. "They''re dreaming of getting rich overnight! Anyway, the lottery tickets aren''t expensive, just two bucks each! Everyone wants to try their luck," Lin Tian replied with a smile, turning his head to her. "The organizers are sure to make a profit; most people who buy lottery tickets end up losing!" Bu Mengting retorted. "Those who buy think they''re lucky, right? Isn''t it all about hitting that tiny probability?" Lin Tian looked at her with a grin. "Anyway, I''m not going. It''s aplete waste of money!" Bu Mengting seemed somewhat dismissive of trying her luck with lottery tickets. "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled lightly but said nothing. To others, it was a matter of luck, but to Lin Tian, it wasn''t necessarily the case. Thinking this, Lin Tian summoned the Supernatural Ability System in his mind. Lin Tian nced over the superpower menu and finally paused on one of the options: Level 1 superpower, irvoyant ability to see ten centimeters into objects, requiring 1 Supernatural Point. "One Supernatural Point!" Seeing this, Lin Tian contemted in silence. He had just one Supernatural Point left. Using thisst Supernatural Point would leave Lin Tian with none, which made him hesitate. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian finally decided to exchange. After all, the irvoyant ability would be very helpful to Lin Tian in the future, and unlike the Healing Water, this superpower was not a consumable but permanent. Once Lin Tian exchanged for the irvoyant ability, he could use it forever. With it, Lin Tian could easily secure an economic source in the future. It wasn''t just about feeling out lottery tickets; even using it to gamble on stones would be great. It''s safe to say that with this irvoyant ability, Lin Tian wouldn''t have to worry about small change in the future, not to mention big money. Money is very important, although Lin Tian didn''t really need to spend much now, he certainly would in the future. Money is a good thing! With that thought, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and exchanged directly. As Lin Tian willed it, the only Supernatural Point in his mind instantly disappeared, and at the same time, he felt a slight change in his eyes. It seemed as if everything in front of him was much clearer now. Lin Tian looked down, his thoughts activating... Whoosh whoosh. The desk below Lin Tian gradually vanished, and he could see right through to the textbooks inside. "Useful!" Lin Tian was delighted in his heart. "Hey, what are you doing?" Feeling that Lin Tian had been up to something for quite some time, Bu Mengting, who was sitting behind him, tapped his shoulder. "Huh?" Lin Tian turned around subconsciously. As he turned around, his gazended directly on Bu Mengting. "Uh..." Seeing this scene, Lin Tian froze for a moment. Lin Tian felt his heart pounding. Lin Tian hurriedly looked down! As he looked down, Bu Mengting''s desk in front of him gradually disappeared, and Lin Tian saw Mengting''s legs underneath.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Due to the hot weather, Mengting was only wearing a pair of denim shorts. In the instant that Lin Tian looked down, those denim shorts also began to fade away slowly... "Uh..." Lin Tian felt like his breathing had stopped. "Hey, what are you doing? Why did your face suddenly turn red?" The Mengting next to him looked at Lin Tian strangely, finding him very odd. "No, it''s nothing..." Lin Tian''s face flushed as he raised his head. As he raised his head, Mengting gasped, a bit panicked, "Ah, why are you bleeding from your nose?" "Huh?" Lin Tian was stunned, instinctively touched his nose, and when he looked at his hand, it was bright red. Indeed, he was having a nosebleed. "It''s nothing!" Lin Tian quickly turned his head and wiped his nose clumsily with his hand. Lin Tian felt his face was red and hot as if on fire. "What''s wrong with you? Are you okay? Should I apany you to the infirmary to have a look?" Mengting got up from her seat with a worried face and came beside Lin Tian, asking with concern. "No, I''m fine!" Lin Tian said awkwardly, "Just a bit of heat due to the dry weather." "Really, you''re okay?" "Really, I''m fine." "Well, okay then, but I think you''re acting a little strange," Mengting frowned, puzzled, and returned to her seat. After Mengting walked away, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief. His face turned hot again at the thought of what had just happened, and his mouth felt somewhat dry. Chapter 30 The Grand Prize Throughout the afternoon, Lin Tian seemed restless, his gaze wandering, and sometimes he secretly nced at Bu Mengting. And each time, Lin Tian would end up with a dry mouth and tongue. Although he knew it was somewhat lewd, Lin Tian still couldn''t restrain the impulse in his heart. After half an hour, Lin Tian suddenly felt very tired in the eyes, they started to feel sore, and tears unconsciously fell. Noticing the change in his eyes, Lin Tian was rmed, knowing that he had overused his superpower, causing eye fatigue. Because of the eye fatigue, Lin Tian had no choice but to rest and give up using his superpower. Yet this half-hour of surreptitious use of the superpower allowed Lin Tian to gain a deeper understanding of his irvoyant ability. The superpower menu that imed a ten-centimeter irvoyance meant the total thickness of all the objects prated, not just one object. For example, if Lin Tian''s desk was five centimeters thick, then after seeing through the five-centimeter desk, Lin Tian could still see through an additional five centimeters of the object behind it. It was all possible as long as the total thickness did not exceed ten centimeters. This discovery made Lin Tian even more satisfied with his superpower; it was much better than he had imagined at the start. Due to overusing his superpower, which led to eye fatigue, Lin Tian didn''t use his irvoyant ability afterward, but even so, every time he saw Bu Mengting, his mind would still picture that snowy white. At the thought, Lin Tian always felt his mouth go dry and his tongue parched. And Lin Tian''s strange demeanor always made Bu Mengting feel somewhat uneasy, but whenever she asked, he would not answer. Amidst this unsettled state of mind, the afternoon just passed. After returning home and having dinner, feeling that his eyes had improved quite a bit, Lin Tian once again sought out Bu Mengting. But this time, Lin Tian was not out to peep; instead, he told her to go to the evening self-study alone. After greeting Bu Mengting, Lin Tian rode his bicycle towards Binjiang Square. Some ten minutester, Lin Tian arrived at Binjiang Square and stopped. Scanning Binjiang Square, he noticed that there were indeed many people there, crowding together like at a train station. In the center of the square, there were severalrge tents. In the very middle, there was a stage, where the emcee was holding a microphone and ceaselessly uttering provocative words. After scanning the area, Lin Tian found a ce to park his bicycle and walked in. Arriving at the square, Lin Tian''s gaze swept over the inside of each tent. In these tents, there were girls holding baskets, and inside the baskets were stacks of lottery tickets. Many lottery enthusiasts were gathered around these girls. Lin Tian casually walked over and noticed many scratched-off lottery tickets scattered on the ground of the square. After a nce, Lin Tian walked towards a girl with fewer people around her, who also held a basket full of lottery tickets. Once beside the girl, Lin Tian''s gaze swept slightly, and with a thought, he instantly activated his irvoyant ability. Under the effect of Lin Tian''s superpower, the answers inside the lottery tickets in the basket slowly began to reveal themselves. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." Most were invalid tickets. However, a few winning tickets were mixed in among them. Tickets worth 10 yuan, 20, 100 appeared before Lin Tian''s eyes, with thergest having a value of 1000. Seeing these lottery tickets, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up slightly and he began rummaging through the basket. He found the 50, located the 100, and atst, Lin Tian flipped out the one worth 1000. In total, Lin Tian turned up 10 lottery tickets, paid for them, then walked to the side and started scratching them with some nervousness. As Lin Tian''s fingers slowly scratched away, the answers on the lottery tickets slowly appeared. "100!" A 100-yuan ticket slowly emerged! Seeing this number, Lin Tian was overjoyed. It had worked! Then, unable to wait, Lin Tian started scratching again. 50, 100, 200, and finally the 1000! All of them were winners! The lottery tickets in his hand matched exactly what he had seen before! "Very good!" Clenching the lottery tickets in hand, a trace of excitement appeared on Lin Tian''s face. Latter on, Lin Tian started a frantic treasure hunt for half an hour. In that half hour, Lin Tian bought several hundred lottery tickets and roughly calcted that the total prize of these tickets should be over a hundred thousand yuan. Among them, Lin Tian found a 30,000 ticket, three 20,000 tickets, and four 10,000 tickets. The others were smaller amounts, some hundreds, others over a thousand. "It''s a pity I didn''t find one worth over a hundred thousand; they certainly haven''t put out the big prizes!" After searching and not finding any prize over a hundred thousand, Lin Tian guessed that they had not released the big prizes. Even without getting the grand prize, Lin Tian was quite satisfied. Lin Tian was not greedy; this kind of money came quickly, and if he wanted to, he could easily obtain more. Half an hourter, feeling his eyes start to tire, Lin Tian also stopped his treasure hunting. After some thought, Lin Tian took out several dozen lottery tickets to cash in, not too much, just five or six thousand. Pocketing a thick stack of cash, Lin Tian whistled as he prepared to leave. Today had been a day of bountiful harvest. As he passed by another girl, Lin Tian subconsciously swept her basket of lottery tickets with his superpower. Lin Tian was just about to leave when suddenly he paused, his steps halting.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "What was that just now?" With a look of amazement, Lin Tian once again activated his irvoyance. After a careful search, he found that ticket again. Staring at the denomination of the ticket, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly... 200,000! There was a staggering 200,000-yuan ticket among them! The jackpot! Lin Tian had not expected toe upon a grand prize just as he was about to leave. Just as Lin Tian was slightly dazed, someone reached into the basket, clearly intending to buy a lottery ticket. Seeing this, Lin Tian was startled and hurried over. Chapter 31 New Task Seeing that person wanting to buy a lottery ticket, Lin Tian hurried over. Upon reaching the basket, even though his eyes were starting to feel sour, Lin Tian still forced himself to activate his superpower and, with the aid of it, reached out for that 200,000 RMB lottery ticket. "Found it!" With the help of his superpower, Lin Tian clearly saw his hand had grabbed the lottery ticket worth 200,000 RMB. Grasping the lottery ticket tightly, and after paying for it, Lin Tian turned to leave. Holding the ticket in hand, Lin Tian slowly scratched it off, looking at the string of zeros that followed, Lin Tian started counting, "One zero two zeros three zeros four zeros, five zeros!" Seeing the five zeros behind the 2, a hint of joy shed across Lin Tian''s face! 200,000 RMB, it was actually 200,000 RMB! Even though the money came easily, Lin Tian was still somewhat excited to win such a big prize. Lin Tian carefully put away the lottery ticket worth 200,000 RMB before turning to leave. "Now, I guess I have a worth of over 300,000 RMB, huh!" Lin Tian rode his bicycle, moving along while thinking excitedly to himself. Over 300,000 RMB! It was a figure Lin Tian had never thought of before, always having to beg his mom for a bit of spending money, but in a blink of an eye, he now had over 300,000 RMB! It was a number he had never dared to dream of before. "Superpower, it''s indeed a powerful superpower!" Lin Tian rode his bicycle, a bit excitedly, while thinking to himself. Naturally, he knew how all this hade about: the Supernatural Ability System in his mind had made him unprecedentedly powerful. "At the beginning, it really was dumb luck, sheer fluke!" Thinking back to how he gained the Supernatural Ability System by finding a watch, Lin Tian couldn''t help but be impressed by his own luck. "But luck is also a kind of strength, after all! I''m just that outstanding! Hehe!" Lin Tian thought somewhat narcissistically. ** Because he was dyed by the lottery tickets, by the time Lin Tian arrived at the ssroom, most of his ssmates were already there.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Seeing Lin Tiane in, Bu Mengting, who sat behind him, curiously asked, "Where did you go? I asked you earlier and you didn''t say." "I went to buy lottery tickets!" Lin Tianughed with a ''hehe''. "Buying lottery tickets?" Hearing this, Bu Mengting was astonished, then with a pout and a bit of schadenfreude, she mockingly said, "How much did you lose?" "Lose? How could that be possible? Who am I? I made a killing!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, saying disdainfully. "That''s impossible!" Bu Mengting said with disbelief. Those who buy lottery tickets are usually the ones who lose the most. "Hehe, if you don''t believe it, then forget it. Oh right, I still have some unscratched lottery tickets here." Saying this, Lin Tian took out five unscratched lottery tickets from his pocket. These lottery tickets were purposely bought by Lin Tian, who, with his irvoyant ability, knew that all these tickets were "Thank Yous." Looking at the lottery tickets in Lin Tian''s hand, Bu Mengting curiously took them. "Give them a scratch." Lin Tian said with a chuckle. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting didn''t refuse and started scratching them off. One "Thank You", two "Thank Yous", three "Thank Yous", four "Thank Yous"! After scratching off four "Thank Yous," Bu Mengting felt a bit annoyed and, after thinking it over, handed thest ticket to Lin Tian, "Your luck''s bad, you scratch it." Lin Tian didn''t take it but instead said, "You scratch it." After thinking for a moment, Bu Mengting still scratched off thest one. Without a doubt, it was another "Thank You." "Erm..." Looking at all the "Thank Yous," Bu Mengting felt a bit gloomy. "I still have onest ticket here. Try scratching this one." Seeing Bu Mengting''s gloomy face, Lin Tian offered another unscratched lottery ticket with a mischievous grin. "I won''t scratch it, I''m not interested!" The consecutive failures had put Bu Mengting in a bad mood. Seeing Bu Mengting''s demeanor, Lin Tianughed cheekily, and, with a bit of a mysterious air, moved closer, "Do you know why you didn''t win?" "Why?" Bu Mengting pouted her sexy lips, speaking with a hint of frustration. "Because you didn''t blow a breath of fairy air!" Lin Tianughed with a ''hehe'', then, holding the lottery ticket in his palm, he brought his fist up to Bu Mengting''s face, raised his eyebrows, and said with a grin, "Come on, beauty, give it a puff of fairy air!" Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian somewhat boredly. "Come on!" Lin Tian urged. Under Lin Tian''s urging, Bu Mengting begrudgingly blew gently. After Bu Mengting blew a breath, Lin Tian drew his fist back, sniffed it near his nose, and said intoxicatedly, "It really is a breath of fairy air, so fragrant! This one''s definitely a winner!" Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian with a speechless expression on her face. "Come on, beauty, you scratch it!" Lin Tian said with a cheeky smile as he handed her the lottery ticket. "No, thanks!" Bu Mengting tly refused. The consecutive failures had dampened her spirits, making her lose interest. "Just scratch it, thest one!" Lin Tian insisted, handing the ticket to Bu Mengting. Under Lin Tian''s persistent request, Bu Mengting finally started to scratch it, albeit somewhat listlessly. This time, however, she clearly held no hope and wore an indifferent look on her face. As she slowly revealed the content of the ticket, the previously indifferent Bu Mengting froze, her disbelief causing her to speed up the scratching. Eventually, the reveal area of the ticket waspletely uncovered. Looking at the numbers in the reveal area, Bu Mengting couldn''t believe her eyes! 2000! This was actually a ticket worth two thousand! "What''s the matter?" Lin Tian feigned surprise as he leaned in, nced at the reveal area, and then looked admiringly at Bu Mengting, "You really are a fairy, aren''t you? Just a breath of fairy air and things are different!" The ssmates who had been watching Lin Tian''s lottery ticket came over out of curiosity when they saw Lin Tian''s reaction. They took a look at the ticket in Bu Mengting''s hands and suddenly eximed, "She actually won two thousand!" "What, won two thousand?" Upon hearing the exmation, other ssmates gathered around curiously. Then the ssroom was filled with voices of envy, jealousy, and resentment. "Damn! Lin Tian is so lucky, it''s like he stepped in dog shit!" "Don''t even mention you, I spent two hundred and got nothing!" "Seriously, dog shit luck!" ... Listening to the envious and resentful voices, Lin Tian secretly smiled to himself, "You''re reacting like this over two thousand, what if you knew I had a ticket worth hundreds of thousands in my hand? Would you go crazy?" In the middle of the noise, the evening study bell rang. Soon after the bell, He Qianqian walked into the ssroom with a stack of materials. Tonight was He Qianqian''s shift. Looking at He Qianqian, who was sitting at the podium seriously checking homework, Lin Tian smiled slightly. This week, Lin Tian would often chat with He Qianqian when he had nothing to do and sometimes, when He Qianqian had evening study duty, Lin Tian would even walk her back to her dormitory. Over time, the two of them gradually became more familiar with each other. Though they were teacher and student, they now seemed more like friends. But He Qianqian always considered Lin Tian as a younger brother in her heart. The change in their rtionship over this period had also given Lin Tian much more confidence. He believed that one day he would be able to break through that barrier. The study session peacefully continued until near the end of ss when suddenly a vibrating noise from a cellphone erupted. Hearing this vibration, Lin Tian, who was looking at a novel under the podium, was startled and looked up, only to discover that the sound wasing from the podium. As Lin Tian looked up, he saw He Qianqian pick up her phone and walk out of the ssroom. Lin Tian nced at He Qianqian and frowned slightly, but didn''t give it much thought and continued reading his novel. However, nearly ten minutes had passed and He Qianqian had not yet returned. This made Lin Tian feel that something was off. "Who is she talking to on the phone for so long?" Lin Tian wondered with a puzzled look on his face. As Lin Tian was feeling somewhat anxious, he saw He Qianqian walk back into the ssroom with a heavy heart, her expression solemn. "What''s going on? Ms. He seems troubled?" Lin Tian thought as he saw her expression. "Lingling..." Just then, the ss bell rang. As the bell sounded, Lin Tian noticed He Qianqian turn around and leave, as if she had something on her mind. Watching this scene, Lin Tian felt even more that something was amiss. Just as Lin Tian was trying to figure out what was happening, a synthetic electronic voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Mission: Solve He Qianqian''s worries. Mission Reward: Two Supernatural Points." A mission, it was actually a mission! Lin Tian could not have expected a mission toe his way at this time. And it was clearly rted to the phone call He Qianqian had just made. Chapter 32 The Stunned He Qianqian! After thinking for a while, Lin Tian got up from his seat and went outside to look for He Qianqian. However, despite searching for a long time, and even after the ss bell had rung, he hadn''t found He Qianqian. With no other option, Lin Tian had to return to the ssroom, hoping He Qianqian woulde back since the third evening self-study period was also He Qianqian''s ss. Little did he know that he would wait 20 minutes; it was only 20 minutes into the third evening self-study period when he finally saw He Qianqian return to the ssroom with a grave expression. Upon her return, Lin Tian noticed that He Qianqian seemed preupied, always staring nkly, lost in thought. Moreover, the rims of her eyes appeared slightly red as if she had been crying. From the back of the room, catching sight of this scene, Lin Tian slightly pursed his lips, wishing the ss would end sooner. At the same time, he noticed a red glow shimmering on He Qianqian. It was the glow of the task. "Ling Ling¡­" After a long wait of 20 minutes, the dismissal bell finally rang. As soon as it rang, He Qianqian left with a heavy heart, entirelycking her usual liveliness. Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly greeted Bu Mengting, telling her to go ahead, and then he followed after He Qianqian. Rushing out of the ssroom, Lin Tian followed behind He Qianqian. However, he did not hurry to approach her. Lin Tian continued to follow He Qianqian, watching her return to the faculty office, then saw her walking alone towards the teachers'' dormitory. Following behind He Qianqian, they walked out of the academic building, and noticing that not many people were paying attention, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and greeted her with a smile, "Hi, Teacher He!" Startled by the voice, He Qianqian turned her head and saw it was Lin Tian, forcing a smile on her face, "Lin Tian, it''s you. Why haven''t you gone back yet?" "I came to walk Teacher He!" Lin Tian noticed that her face was somewhat pale this time. "No need, I''m feeling a bit unwell today. You go back first," He Qianqian said with evident fatigue. "There must be something wrong, isn''t there?" Lin Tian didn''t pick up on what He Qianqian had just said but questioned instead. "I''m fine!" He Qianqian forced a light smile. "Yourplexion has worsened. There must be something wrong, and it clearly has to do with the phone call you took earlier during the evening self-study." Lin Tian''s gaze remained fixed on He Qianqian. He Qianqian stayed silent, saying nothing. She felt very tired now and didn''t want to talk. Seeing this, Lin Tian didn''t rush her but merely stayed silently by her side as they walked slowly towards the dormitory. They walked in silence. When they were almost at the dormitory, Lin Tian softly asked, "Teacher He, what''s the matter? Maybe I can help if you tell me!" He Qianqian turned her head to look at Lin Tian and gently smiled, "It''s nothing serious, and even if it was, you wouldn''t be able to help." "Just tell me, how would you know without saying!" Lin Tian pressed on, unwilling to give up. He Qianqian shook her head, giving a bitter smile. After thinking it over, she finally said, "My dad called just now; my mom is sick, and we still need over two hundred thousand for the surgery. If we can''t assemble it by tomorrow, she might be in mortal danger. But despite everything I''ve tried, I''m still tens of thousands short! Ah!" With those words, He Qianqian let out a long sigh. The burden was immense, which is why she ended up sharing this with Lin Tian. "Short of tens of thousands?" Lin Tian was taken aback, instantly thinking of the lottery ticket worth over two hundred thousand in his pocket. "We''re here, you should go back, thank you for walking me here." Unaware, they had already arrived at the teachers'' dormitory building below, He Qianqian stopped walking, turning around with a grateful look at Lin Tian. She was truly grateful to have someone with her when she needed it, even though this person couldn''t really help her with anything. "Ah? Oh, okay." Lin Tian raised his head and realized that they had indeed reached the dormitory. "Alright, you can leave." He Qianqian smiled and waved her hand. "Okay, goodbye, Teacher." Lin Tian nced around quickly and then briskly walked away. Watching Lin Tian leave, He Qianqian suppressed her smile, walking towards the dormitory with a gloomy air. As soon as He Qianqian turned around, Lin Tian discreetly hid himself nearby, only appearing after he saw He Qianqian enter her room then he headed straight for her dormitory. The moment He Qianqian dered her troubles, Lin Tian immediately thought of the lottery ticket in his pocket. For Lin Tian, the money was easily attained, and he could get it anytime he wanted, so helping He Qianqian was no problem at all. However, he thought it inappropriate to show the lottery ticket outside, better to offer it in her room. But fearing that He Qianqian wouldn''t let him into the room, Lin Tian had lied about going back first. Seeing He Qianqian go in, Lin Tian quickly walked to her doorway. Upon reaching the door, Lin Tian knocked. "Who is it?" Back in the room, a weary He Qianqian had just taken off her white suit jacket when she heard the knock. "Creak¡ª!" As the door opened, He Qianqian saw Lin Tian standing at the threshold. "Lin Tian, why haven''t you left yet?" Seeing Lin Tian, He Qianqian was startled, her face filled with confusion. "Teacher, I have something to show you." Lin Tian spoke as he stepped past He Qianqian into her dormitory. "Hey, what are you doing!" He Qianqian was startled when she saw Lin Tian barge in. After entering He Qianqian''s room, Lin Tian nced around. Her room was small, around ten square meters, but it was warmly decorated with little red stars hanging in the air. "What are you doing, why did you juste in?" He Qianqian turned around and looked at Lin Tian with dissatisfaction on her face. Lin Tian didn''t speak but went straight to the desk next to him, then took something out of his pocket. With Lin Tian''s actions, dozens of lottery tickets were ced on the desk. "What are you doing?" He Qianqian scanned the lottery tickets on the desk in confusion, then turned to look at Lin Tian. "Teacher, I bought these tickets, and they haven''t been scratched off yet. I know you need money, so I''m giving them all to you. Maybe you could win a big prize!" Lin Tian said cheerfully, pointing to the pile of tickets on the desk. Then he looked at Lin Tian with expectant eyes. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, He Qianqian was startled, then looked at the hopeful expression on Lin Tian''s face, and then at the pile of tickets on the desk. Suddenly, she felt somewhat touched. Although she knew that these tickets were unlikely to be of much help to her, it was rare for Lin Tian to show such thoughtfulness. Unable to bear rejecting Lin Tian, He Qianqian shook her head with a wry smile, saying, "Well then, thank you. Let''s see if I can win a big prize." With that, He Qianqian approached the desk and began to scratch the lottery tickets. However, He Qianqian didn''t really believe these tickets could help her; she was just doing it so as not to disappoint Lin Tian. The first ticket read "Thank you." The second ticket read "Thank you." The third ticket also read "Thank you." All three in a row were ''Thank you''. Seeing this, He Qianqian shook her head; as expected, it was futile. The fourth ticket showed ''100''. This made He Qianqian somewhat happy. After all, winning something was still good. But the surprises were not over yet. The fifth, sixth, and seventh tickets ... the next dozen or so tickets consecutively had prizes. There were even a few that were worth thousands. This made He Qianqian start to get excited, and a flicker of hope began to grow inside her. As she continued to scratch off tickets, the winnings kepting, consistently high, but until thest ticket was scratched, none was worth tens of thousands. After counting carefully, the forty-four tickets totaled twenty thousand yuan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om The fact that dozens of tickets could win twenty thousand was quite good, butpared to the amount He Qianqian needed, it was still far too little. Thinking about this, the excitement He Qianqian initially felt began to wane. Looking at the pile of tickets on the desk, He Qianqian lifted her head to look at Lin Tian and forced a smile, "It''s really quite lucky, to win twenty thousand from just a few dozen tickets." "It''s still tens of thousands short." Lin Tian seemed glum. "That''s not bad at all, thank you for your thoughtfulness," He Qianqian said with a smile,forting him. But thinking about the shortfall, she couldn''t help but feel a bit down. "Hey, there''s one more underneath." Just as He Qianqian was feeling down, Lin Tian suddenly eximed, pointing underneath the table, then bent down. He Qianqian turned her head and saw Lin Tian pick up a lottery ticket from the ground. Clutching the ticket in his hand, Lin Tian grinned and said, "Teacher He, this one might just win ten thousand!" "Impossible!" He Qianqian shook her head outright. "Well then, I''ll scratch it." Hearing He Qianqian''s definite response, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened, clutching the ticket tightly, not letting He Qianqian see it as he slowly scratched it. A few secondster, He Qianqian nced at Lin Tian, who seemed mysterious, and asked, "So how is it?" Lin Tian feigned distress, pulled a face, and said, "Not ten thousand!" "I thought as much, such luck couldn''t be true," He Qianqian said matter-of-factly. "But!" Lin Tian lifted his eyebrows, grinned mischievously, and gently ced the ticket on the desk, "But it''s more!" "Huh?" He Qianqian instinctively looked towards the lottery ticket on the desk, towards the scratch-off area. Upon seeing it, He Qianqian was stunned. So many zeros! She saw a 2 followed by many zeros! "200,000?" He Qianqian gasped, carefully counting, five zeros. Behind the 2 were five zeros! Was it really 200,000? He Qianqian was dumbstruck. Chapter 33 Do You Want to Die? 200,000? Is it really 200,000? He Qianqian was stunned, some disbelief took hold of her as she picked up the lottery ticket on the desk and examined it closely! 200,000! It really is 200,000! The five zeros in the back werepletely correct! After being dazed for a moment, He Qianqian suddenly jumped up with joy, clinging to Lin Tian''s neck and shouting, "Two hundred thousand! It really is two hundred thousand!" "Uh..." Lin Tian was somewhat taken aback by He Qianqian''s sudden enthusiastic actions. But after being startled for a while, Lin Tian began to enjoy He Qianqian''s embrace. At this time, He Qianqian didn''t notice Lin Tian''s small movements at all; she was too busy excitedly clutching the lottery ticket and shouting, "Two hundred thousand, I actually won two hundred thousand!" Surprise, it was an unexpectedly huge surprise for He Qianqian, a major one! After the initial delight, He Qianqian calmed down slightly; she suddenly noticed that her actions might have been inappropriate and somewhat sheepishly let go of her hold on Lin Tian''s neck, intending to step away. "Lin Tian, you... what are you doing?" As she noticed Lin Tian''s movements, a hint of panic appeared in He Qianqian''s eyes, and she tried to push Lin Tian''s hands away. But how could her strength shake Lin Tian, whose hands were immovable around her slender waist? Realizing that brute force was useless, He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian with a frown, "Let go, I''m getting angry if you keep this up!" "No!" Lin Tian immediately shook his head, his hands firmly kneading He Qianqian''s slender waist, pressing her body tightly against him. Inhaling He Qianqian''s fragrance, Lin Tian said with all seriousness, "Teacher, you cannot go back on your word!" "What?" Being held like this by a man, He Qianqian was already somewhat flustered; hearing Lin Tian''s words, she asked subconsciously. "You... that was just a joke!" He Qianqian, taken aback, then said somewhat helplessly. "No matter! You promised, and you must follow through! If you don''t kiss me, I won''t let go!" Lin Tian held onto He Qianqian''s slender waist tightly, resolute. "You..." He Qianqian was somewhat at a loss. Was she really going to kiss him? Impossible! But what if she didn''t agree to his demand? Looking at Lin Tian, he clearly appeared as someone who would not give up until he achieved his goal. This left He Qianqian feeling quite helpless. After a deadlock, Lin Tian remained motionless, showing no intention of letting go. This truly gave He Qianqian a headache; raising her head, she saw Lin Tian''s face full of expectation and hope. He Qianqian wanted to refuse again, but for some reason, she suddenly couldn''t bear to let him down. He Qianqian did not dislike Lin Tian, and him doing so much for her honestly moved her. And now, seeing Lin Tian''s hopeful look, He Qianqian''s heart softened, not wanting to disappoint him. "He''s just a kid, I''ll just fulfill his wish, besides he has done so much for me," He Qianqian began to rationalize her hesitation. Lin Tian, slowly leaned in closer. The distance between the two gradually closed in. Whew~! As they drew near, He Qianqian''s willowy brows trembled slightly, revealing her extreme nervousness. Whew~! Lin Tian''s lips slowly pressed against hers. A marvelous feeling! "Knock, knock! Qianqian, are you there?" Just as Lin Tian was about to take further actions, a sudden series of knocks came from the door. Hearing the knock, He Qianqian was startled and quickly struggled out of Lin Tian''s embrace. Lin Tian, too, was shocked by the sudden knocking and let He Qianqian break free. After breaking free from Lin Tian''s embrace, He Qianqian thought about the moment that had just passed and felt her face burn; she straightened her already neat hair and, after calming her emotions slightly, opened the door. Upon opening the door, there stood an unexpected person at the threshold. "Qianqian..." Upon seeing the door open and full of joy, Wang Feng walked in and greeted He Qianqian, but then he noticed Lin Tian standing in the room. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Feng''s face instantly darkened. Wang Feng pointed at Lin Tian in the room with a dark expression, "What is he doing here?" "This, this..." Out of nervousness, He Qianqian found herself at a loss for words momentarily, Seeing He Qianqian''s reaction and noticing the lingering blush on her face, Wang Feng frowned, "You weren''t doing something indecent in there, were you?" "What are you saying!" By that time, He Qianqian had calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked at Wang Feng expressionlessly, "Lin Tian is my student, I just called him over to discuss some learning issues." "Learning issues? What kind of learning issues require you toe to your room and talk with the door closed! I think you were up to no good!" Wang Feng sneered at He Qianqian, full of sarcasm. "You, you better stop slinging mud here! And another thing, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, please leave!" He Qianqian pointed furiously toward the door. "Leave, why should I leave, afraid I''ll spoil your fun?" Wang Feng didn''t budge, sneering at He Qianqian, "You always act so noble, but it turns out you''re not so decent after all!"n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "You, you..." Hearing these harsh words, He Qianqian was so angry she wanted to curse back, but herck of vocabry left her at a loss for words. In the end, she was so upset she didn''t know how to respond, and her eyes started to reddened slightly, as if she was about to cry. Seeing this, Lin Tian wasn''t willing to watch any longer, turned his head towards Wang Feng who was standing by the door and said coldly, "Get out!" Wang Feng was taken aback and then red at Lin Tian in anger, "What did you just say, kid?" At school, Wang Feng wasn''t afraid of Lin Tian; it''s not like Lin Tian could beat him up in school, after all. "I said get out!" Lin Tian''s eyelids slightly lifted as he stared coldly at Wang Feng. "Get out? Get lost, you brat!" Overwhelmed by anger, Wang Feng cursed outright. Hearing that, Lin Tian''s gaze turned icy; he took a step forward, swiftly reached out and grabbed Wang Feng''s throat, lifting him off the ground with one hand! Lin Tian held Wang Feng aloft with one hand and said chillingly, "Do you want to die?" As he spoke, Lin Tian''s hand slowly tightened. Chapter 34 Your Mouth Is Sweet! As Lin Tian''s hand slowly tightened, Wang Feng felt a wave of suffocation. "Gurgle~!" Wang Feng''s throat made a gurgling noise, his eyes beginning to bulge. Fear! It was then that Wang Feng felt a wave of fear, the sensation of suffocation from his brain reminding him again of the cold Yang Tian in the park that day. Fear! Scared! Wang Feng''s legs dangled in the air as he struggled violently, his hands desperately trying to pry Lin Tian''s fingers apart. But Lin Tian''s fingers were like rods of steel, immovable! Despair! Wang Feng felt a sense of despair! In Lin Tian''s eyes, he saw a dense murderous intent! He Qianqian stood by, stunned by the sudden scene, somewhat dazed. After a moment, He Qianqian came to her senses and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Lin Tian away, "Lin Tian, what are you doing, let go!" But He Qianqian could not budge Lin Tian, who remained immovable. "Lin Tian, let go!" Seeing that Lin Tian still did not move, He Qianqian said anxiously. After a cold nce at Wang Feng, whoseplexion was beginning to pale, Lin Tian loosened his hold. As Lin Tian loosened his grip, Wang Feng''s body fell to the ground with a thud. "Huff, huff!" Once on the ground, Wang Feng greedily gasped for air, not caring about the dust on the ground he was breathing in. Death!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Wang Feng had even thought that he was going to die! "Hmph!" Watching Wang Feng gasping heavily on the ground, Lin Tian let out a disdainful snort. "Lin Tian, what were you doing just now? You''re going to cause trouble!" At that moment, He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian somewhat disapprovingly. She thought Lin Tian was being too reckless. What if he had hurt the man? Lin Tian did not reply; he knew that He Qianqian was looking out for him. "Huff, huff!" After resting and catching his breath for a while, Wang Feng, who had felt utterly weak, felt much better. Wang Feng struggled to his feet, leaning against the wall and ring at Lin Tian with resentment, "This isn''t over!" "What?" Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned and stepped forward with a p. Seeing Lin Tian''s movement, Wang Feng was startled and quickly shut his mouth. "Hmph!" Seeing Wang Feng''s fearful expression, Lin Tian let out a disdainful snort. Such a big man yet so cowardly, no wonder he didn''t dare to move that night in the park. Wang Feng noticed the disdain in Lin Tian''s eyes, which made him furious. He wanted to rage, to explode, but thinking of Lin Tian''s terrifying strength just now, he felt fear again. Wang Feng red hatefully at Lin Tian for a while, realizing he was not gaining any advantage here. After thinking it over, not wanting to embarrass himself, he grimaced, snorted coldly, and turned to leave. Seeing Wang Feng leave, He Qianqian withdrew her gaze, looking somewhat tired, "I''m a bit tired, you should go too. Also, I can''t ept your ticket." Saying this, He Qianqian handed the 200,000 ticket that Lin Tian had given her back to him. Looking at the ticket in He Qianqian''s hand, Lin Tian did not reach out to take it but instead looked at her seriously, "That''s for you, I don''t want it!" "Do you know how much this is? It''s 200,000!" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian somewhat surprised. "Exactly because I know it''s 200,000 that I''m giving it to you. I have no use for this money, but for you, it''s different. It could save your mother''s life. Why don''t you want to take this money, is it because of pride? It''spletely unnecessary; is your mother''s life less important than your pride?" Lin Tian''s gaze intensely fixed on He Qianqian. Hearing this, He Qianqian fell silent. Bowing her head in silence for a long while, He Qianqian raised her head with a serious expression, "Then, I''ll ept this ticket, considering it a loan from you, and I will definitely repay you." Hearing that He Qianqian finally epted the ticket, Lin Tian finally felt relieved, a radiant smile appearing on his face, "Of course, it''s a loan. If you can''t pay it back, you''ll have tomit yourself to me!" he teased with a raised eyebrow and a cheeky tone. "You..." He Qianqian was at a loss for words with Lin Tian, but also somewhat rxed because of his joke. "Well, it''s gettingte, I''ll head back now." Seeing that it was gettingte, Lin Tian also prepared to leave. If he returned anyter, his mother would have something to say. "Okay, you go ahead. Oh, and take those tickets on the table with you." "No need, I''m leaving those for you!" Lin Tian chuckled, then turned and walked towards the door. Just as he was leaving the doorway, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at He Qianqian with a beaming smile, "Ms. He, I forgot to say something very important." "What is it?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian curiously. Seeing the curious He Qianqian, Lin Tian stepped closer, suddenly leaned forward, and whispered in her ear, "Teacher, you have a very sweet mouth." After saying this, Lin Tian chuckled smugly and quickly walked away. He Qianqian, stunned in ce, her face flushed a deep red, looking so endearing. Standing in the shadows in the distance, Wang Feng had seen the whole scene. Wang Feng clenched his fists tightly, his veins throbbing, as he angrily muttered, "Bitch!" Afterward, Wang Feng shifted his gaze to Lin Tian''s receding figure, his eyes filled with hatred. ... Lin Tian was unaware that Wang Feng was secretly watching from afar. Of course, even if he had known, Lin Tian wouldn''t have cared. At that moment, Lin Tian was excitedly heading toward the parking lot. Lin Tian walked briskly, asionally stretching his tongue to lick his lips, as if savoring something. Chapter 35 A Cry for Help from He Qianqian "Buzz~!" Inside the teacher''s office, He Qianqian''s cellphone lying on the desk started vibrating. He Qianqian, who was grading assignments, nced at her phone screen, slightly furrowed her brow, and ignored it! It was Wang Feng''s call!N?v(el)B\\jnn She didn''t want to answer! The phone stopped ringing after a while but started vibrating again in just a few seconds. He Qianqian furrowed her brow, turned off the vibration immediately. After turning off the vibration, He Qianqian continued to grade assignments. However, it wasn''t long before the phone vibrated again. When she checked, it was still Wang Feng! Feeling somewhat annoyed, He Qianqian picked up the phone and walked out to the office corridor. She answered the phone with an impatient tone, "I''ve told you, it''s over between us. Please, stop bothering me in the future!" "Qianqian, Qianqian, just hear me out, listen to me!" Fearing that He Qianqian would hang up, Wang Feng hurriedly said, "I''m not asking to reconcile with you; I need your help with something!" Hearing this, He Qianqian furrowed her brow, thought for a moment, then spoke up, "What is it?" "I''d like you to join me for a meal." Worried that He Qianqian might misunderstand, Wang Feng quickly added, "It''s not me inviting, it''s Principal Zhu. You know I''m up for election as the Deputy Director of Academic Affairs, and Principal Zhu would like to have dinner with you." Upon hearing this, images of the bald Zhu Jiang instantly shed through He Qianqian''s mind, followed by the memory of Zhu Jiang''s leering gaze at her. Thinking of this, He Qianqian''s frown deepened, and she said with some dissatisfaction, "You know what he intends; why are you asking me to dine with him?" "Qianqian, listen to my exnation, it''s just a meal. We will leave right after eating. I guarantee nothing else will happen. Plus, I''ll be there too, and I promise, after you help me this time, I won''t pester you ever again!" On the other end, Wang Feng hurriedly made his promise. Hearing this, He Qianqian appeared somewhat hesitant. To be honest, He Qianqian was very reluctant to go. Buttely, she had been quite annoyed by Wang Feng''s pestering. If just having a meal could make Wang Feng stop bothering her, perhaps it was eptable. If she didn''t go, knowing Wang Feng as she did, he would only pester her more intensely. After thinking it over, feeling a meal wouldn''t be too troublesome, He Qianqian reluctantly nodded, "Alright then, this is thest time, after this we''re done for good!" This time Wang Feng asking He Qianqian to apany Zhu Jiang for dinner eradicated thest shred of goodwill she had for Wang Feng. Wang Feng didn''t notice the change in He Qianqian''s tone and upon hearing her agreement, nodded happily, "Great, no problem." After hanging up, Wang Feng''s smile vanished, his face turned grim, "You bitch, you''ll see what happens tonight." After saying so, Wang Feng walked towards the principal''s office. ** At nine o''clock in the evening, He Qianqian arrived at the Jinjiang Grand Hotel with Wang Feng. Upon arriving at the hotel, a waiter immediately led He Qianqian and Wang Feng to the Lotus Hall. Zhu Jiang had already arrived by then. Seeing He Qianqian enter, Zhu Jiang, who was seated, quickly stood up with a smile, "Ms. He, you''ve arrived,e, please take a seat." After speaking, Zhu Jiang turned to the waiter on standby and ordered, "Serve the dishes." Though He Qianqian was not in high spirits, she managed a forced smile and sat down, not wanting to be rude. A few minutester, the waiter began serving the dishes. Initially, everything seemed normal. He Qianqian noticed that aside from Zhu Jiang asionally leering at her, he didn''t do anything too inappropriate, which slightly relieved her. However, more than an hourter, He Qianqian felt something was slightly off. She was feeling a bit dizzy, as if she was about to fall asleep. At first, He Qianqian didn''t mind, thinking she was just tired, but then she noticed Zhu Jiang asionally showing a sly smile. This made He Qianqian suspicious. She turned to Wang Feng beside her, only to find that the previously enthusiastic Wang Feng was now coldly watching the scene unfold. He Qianqian was taken aback and instantly understood what was happening! Her drink had definitely been drugged! When He Qianqian thought about that scene, she felt a surge of panic. After a while, she forced herself to calm down, repeatedly telling herself, "Don''t panic, stay calm. The main thing now is to escape before the drug takes full effect." With that thought, He Qianqian clenched her teeth, picked up her bag, and got up with a forced smile, "Principal Zhu, I need to use the restroom. I''ll be right back." As she said this, He Qianqian supported herself with the table and stood up. Upon standing, He Qianqian felt even dizzier, but despite this, she still tried her best to hide that the drug''s effects had started to kick in. Seeing that He Qianqian wanted to go out, Zhu Jiang quickly got up and grabbed her arm, smiling, "Ms. He, why go outside for a restroom when there''s one here in the box? Come, I''ll take you there." Saying this, Zhu Jiang led He Qianqian towards the restroom. He Qianqian felt helpless, knowing that struggling was futile as she had no strength left and had to follow Zhu Jiang to the restroom in the box. When they arrived at the restroom door, He Qianqian gave Zhu Jiang a strained smile, "Principal, I can go in by myself now." "Sure, sure!" Zhu Jiang continued to smile and nodded his head, letting go of He Qianqian. He did not think that He Qianqian could escape from his grasp and still believed that He Qianqian had not noticed anything. Inside the restroom, He Qianqian forced herself to calm down again, thought for a moment, and quickly took out her phone. She started to rapidly scroll through her contact list. As she scrolled through the names, He Qianqian shook her head at each. Calling a girl over would not be a good idea; if the girl got into trouble too, it would be problematic. But calling a man, if he wasn''t trustworthy, could be dangerous as well, and she would not be able to resist if he had any ill intentions. Quickly scanning the contact list, He Qianqian suddenly paused, her gaze stopping on one name¡ªLin Tian! Seeing Lin Tian''s name brought a surge of relief to He Qianqian. It had to be him! Lin Tian was younger and rtively naive; she believed from their interactions over time that Lin Tian was not the type to take advantage of others in danger. Moreover, hisbat skills were formidable; He Qianqian still remembered how Lin Tian had once single-handedly fought off five or six knife-wielding assants. Lin Tian was clearly the best choice. With that thought, He Qianqian hurriedly dialed Lin Tian''s number. "Dialing¡­" As the phone rang, Lin Tian was lying in bed looking at a novel, just about to sleep. Hearing the ring, Lin Tian turned his head and was surprised to find it was He Qianqian calling. Seeing it was He Qianqian''s call, Lin Tian was surprised, as it was almost eleven o''clock and He Qianqian usually wouldn''t call him at this time. Despite the confusion, Lin Tian still picked up the phone. As soon as he answered, He Qianqian''s voice came through, somewhat hurried, "Lin Tian, pleasee and save me, I''m at the Jinjiang Hotel Lotus Hall. I think I''ve been drugged." "What?" Lin Tian was stunned upon hearing this. "Ms. He, are you ready yet?" At that moment, Lin Tian heard a vague male voice. "Oh, I''ll be right out," He Qianqian quickly responded, then whispered, "Lin Tian, did you hear me clearly?" "Heard clearly, I''m on my way!" After saying this, Lin Tian hung up the phone in a rush, threw on some clothes, and rushed out of his house. Fortunately, everyone at Lin Tian''s house was asleep by then; otherwise, they would certainly have stopped him to ask what was going on. Once outside, Lin Tian, with a grim expression, gged down a taxi and directed the driver to head directly to Jinjiang Hotel. Staring coldly out the window at the rapidly retreating buildings, rage boiled inside Lin Tian, "Nothing better happen, or I will make you wish you were never born!" Noticing the sporadic fierce expression on Lin Tian''s face, the driver wisely kept quiet and drove as quickly as possible towards the Jinjiang Hotel. "Mission: Rescue He Qianqian. Reward: Two Supernatural Points." Suddenly a synthetic voice echoed in his head. But at that moment, Lin Tian was in no mood to pay attention to this mission; he just wanted to arrive at the hotel quickly. Ten minutester, with a screech, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Jinjiang Hotel. After the car stopped, Lin Tian handed the taxi driver a hundred yuan, flung open the car door, and dashed towards Jinjiang Hotel. Chapter 36 Put Down Your Dog Paws! Lin Tian scowled and hurried towards the Jinjiang Hotel. "Sir?" Seeing Lin Tian hurry over, the receptionist at the hotel entrance instinctively said. Lin Tian stopped in his tracks and looked at her with an urgent tone, "Do you know where Lotus Hall is? Take me there, my friend has invited me to dine there!" The receptionist was somewhat dazed upon hearing this but soon pointed at the waiter inside, "You should ask the people inside, they will take you there." "You take me!" Lin Tian did not want to waste any time and directly grabbed the receptionist''s arm, pulling her inside. "You..." The receptionist wanted to resist, but Lin Tian''s grip on her hand was like an iron mp, and she couldn''t break free. Seeing Lin Tian''s murderous look, the receptionist instinctively shut her mouth and obediently led him there. She didn''t want to get into trouble. ** Meanwhile, He Qianqian, who had juste out of the restroom, felt even more dizzy. But He Qianqian had to brace herself and pretend everything was fine, hoping that Lin Tian would arrive soon. However, as time passed, He Qianqian really felt like she couldn''t keep up any longer, as she began to see everything around her start to blur. In her vision, Zhu Jiang''s head slowly doubled. Seeing He Qianqian''s dazed eyes, Zhu Jiang knew his chance hade. A lecherous smile spread across his face as he approached her. As Zhu Jiang closed in, He Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine. At that moment, He Qianqian anxiously nced over at Wang Feng. But then, Wang Feng simply turned his head away. Seeing this, He Qianqian realized she could not rely on Wang Feng. As Zhu Jiang drew closer, she panicked and blurted out, "Principal, be careful, I''ve already called someone to pick me up!" Upon hearing He Qianqian''s words, Zhu Jiang paused and immediately understood. He was certain she had made a phone call from the restroom. Despite the pause, Zhu Jiang seemed unconcerned and smiled lecherously, "No one can save you today, just keep mepany nicely!" he said, his face slowly moving closer, attempting to kiss He Qianqian. Zhu Jiang wasn''t too worried about He Qianqian calling anyone. Before inviting He Qianqian out, Zhu Jiang had already investigated, knowing she didn''t have many friends in Wujiang City. Even if she had friends, they were like her, outsiders without much backing. With Zhu Jiang''s background, even if someone dide, he could drive them away. Calling the police would be useless; he was confident about that. Moreover, he nned to leave soon, and once he was gone, even if someone came, they would find no trace of him. "Come, give me a kiss!" With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhu Jiang grinned and leaned in. He Qianqian reluctantly dodged, feeling the rank smell of alcohol from Zhu Jiang''s mouth. "Don''t!" He Qianqian struggled continuously while praying in her heart for Lin Tian to arrive soon. "I''ll treat you well. Just stop hoping for someone to rescue you, it''s no use," Zhu Jiang said with a lecherous smile, moving closer.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "Click! Click!" Just as Zhu Jiang was about to kiss He Qianqian, a series of urgent clicks came from the room door. It seemed someone was trying to open the door. But since the door was locked by Zhu Jiang and the others, it wouldn''t open, only producing a series of clicks. The sudden sound of someone trying to open the door startled Zhu Jiang. Before he could react, a loud "BANG" came from the door! The door was kicked open with a single foot! Apanied by a loud noise, Lin Tian''s figure gradually appeared outside the door. Seeing the sudden appearance of Lin Tian, Wang Feng, who was seated, was startled, a sh of fear crossing his eyes. He knew he was in trouble now. Somewhat dazed, He Qianqian saw the familiar figure of Lin Tian and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, knowing she had been rescued. With a kick that flung the door open, Lin Tian nced around and instantly saw a bald man apparently trying to kiss He Qianqian. Seeing this sight, Lin Tian was furious! He knew this bald man was the principal of his school! But what of it? Even if he were the emperor of heaven now, Lin Tian was ready to fight! The door was kicked open, and Zhu Jiang was stunned, then looked up to see a young man. Zhu Jiang''s heart rxed considerably. With a fierce look, he faced Lin Tian and barked, "What are you doing, get out!" Lin Tian stared coldly at Zhu Jiang and snapped, "Let go of her!" "What did you say!" Zhu Jiang was somewhat annoyed. Lin Tian did not bother to talk further, and quickly stepped forward, reaching Zhu Jiang, and pped him across the face! Snap! Lin Tian''s p was powerful, instantly knocking out one of Zhu Jiang''s teeth and causing his right cheek to swell up immediately. Zhu Jiang was dazed by the p, looking at Lin Tian in disbelief, "You dare to hit me?" Lin Tian, without a word, sternly pped him again. Smack! Another yellow mr flew out as Zhu Jiang''s other cheek swelled up. After pping Zhu Jiang twice, Lin Tian bent down and helped the somewhat feeble He Qianqian up. Zhu Jiang wasn''t fully conscious from the ps by Lin Tian until Lin Tian helped He Qianqian stand. Only then did Zhu Jiang think of revenge, swinging a heavy punch at Lin Tian''s head. Lin Tian didn''t even flinch, taking the punch without budging. Zhu Jiang''s fist hurt instead; it felt as if he had punched a rock. It hurt badly! Lin Tian shot Zhu Jiang a cold look and kicked out directly! Bang! Zhu Jiang felt a massive force hit his abdomen, sending his body flying! Lying on the ground, the intense pain in his abdomen made Zhu Jiangpletely immobilized! Bearing the pain, Zhu Jiang nced at Wang Feng who was standing to the side and yelled, "Wang Feng, what are you spacing out for, hit him!" Wang Feng didn''t move; rush up himself? Was he seeking death? Wang Feng still remembered the feeling of being choked. Now, he hoped Lin Tian had forgotten him. But Zhu Jiang''s reminder brought Wang Feng back into Lin Tian''s attention. Seeing Wang Feng hiding to the side, Lin Tian felt annoyed. Even though he couldn''t guess what had urred, he knew this matter surely involved Wang Feng too. Thinking this, Lin Tian felt a surge of annoyance, stared at Wang Feng, and said coldly, "Come here!" Wang Feng hesitated but didn''t dare to approach! "Come here!" Lin Tian red, his face full of fierceness. Seeing Lin Tian''s look, Wang Feng had no choice but to walk over. As soon as Wang Feng reached him, Lin Tian pped him across the face: "Useless!" Smack! Wang Feng was directly knocked to the ground by Lin Tian. Coldly ncing over them, Lin Tian walked out supporting He Qianqian. As he exited the room, there were already many people gathered outside the door. Scanning the crowd, Lin Tian burst out furiously with a fierce look, "Scram!" His fierce voice startled the spectators, who instinctively moved aside. Lin Tian walked slowly out of the hotel with He Qianqian, and no one dared to stop them. Lying on the ground groaning for a while and feeling somewhat better, Zhu Jiang struggled to get up, looked at Wang Feng who was also getting up, and gritted his teeth, "Who is this little brat?" "He''s Lin Tian, from ss 19 (Grade 12), He Qianqian''s student," Wang Feng touched his swollen left cheek, feeling a wave of pain. "He''s from our school?" Zhu Jiang felt very surprised. "Yes." Wang Feng nodded lightly, now not daring to make anyrge movements. "This is outrageous!" Hearing this, Zhu Jiang felt a surge of fury. A student from his own school dared to hit him, the principal? Did he not want to stay at this school anymore! This is rebellion! This is rebellion! Zhu Jiang was furious! And because of hisrge movement, the wound in Zhu Jiang''s mouth was tugged, causing it to bleed again. The pain from the wound only fueled his rage further. Chapter 37 Check into a Room Lin Tian, supporting He Qianqian, slowly walked out of the hotel. At this moment, He Qianqian was still somewhat conscious. Feeling that they had left, He Qianqian''s head seemed a bit listless as ity on Lin Tian''s shoulder. She brought her mouth close to Lin Tian''s ear and whispered softly, "Don''t go back to school, being seen like this isn''t good." "Not go back to school?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback. Where to, if not school? After a moment''s pause, Lin Tian tentatively said, "Then, shall we go to a motel and get a room?" He Qianqian, somewhat dazed, nced at Lin Tian and did not object. Seeing that He Qianqian did not object, Lin Tian swallowed hard, feeling his heartbeat picking up pace. Taking a deep breath and making up his mind, Lin Tian hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take them to a nearby, upscale hotel. The cab driver just cast a curious nce at He Qianqian and didn''t ask any further, starting the car. Five minutester, the cab stopped in front of a ''Home Sweet Home'' motel. Lin Tian, assisting an enervated He Qianqian, got out. Upon arriving at the motel, Lin Tian first helped He Qianqian to sit down on a sofa in the lobby, then went up to the front desk alone to check in. It was a good thing he had brought his ID card, otherwise Lin Tian really wouldn''t have known what to do. After a nce at Lin Tian''s ID card, the receptionist didn''t say much and went through with the check-in process. Afterward, Lin Tian escorted He Qianqian towards their room. Room 502, Lin Tian gentlyid He Qianqian on the bed. At this time, He Qianqian seemed groggy and not quite clear-headed. Her eyes were also slightly squinted, as though she couldn''t open them. Watching He Qianqian quietly for a while, after some thought, Lin Tian bent down to take off her shoes. Today, He Qianqian was wearing a pair of delicate ck high-heeled shoes. Bending down, Lin Tian gently slipped off He Qianqian''s high heels with ease. As he raised his head, Lin Tian was instantly stunned. His breathing became somewhat rapid! This... this... "Gulp~!" Lin Tian swallowed nervously, feeling a bit parched and thirsty. Staring nkly, Lin Tian unconsciously used his irvoyant ability. Oh! Lin Tian felt a hot stream flowing from his nostrils! Lin Tian quickly turned his head and wiped with his hand! Blood! "My sin! My sin!" Looking at the blood on his hand, Lin Tian kept muttering to himself, his face now flushed and burning hot. Ever since that day he had used his irvoyant ability to peek at Bu Mengting, Lin Tian had set a rule for himself, which was to try to use his superpower less for peeping. After all, it was somewhat sleazy, and always doing so wasn''t good for his body either. But just now, it had really been an ident; he had used it without thinking. "Phew!" Lin Tian let out a long breath, forced himself to calm down for a while, then thought it over and ran to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, while cleaning the blood off his hands. After sshing his face several times with cold water, Lin Tian felt a lot calmer and then returned to the room again. Back in the room, after looking quietly at the now soundly sleeping He Qianqian, Lin Tian thought for a moment, then bent down and gently covered her with the nket. Then Lin Tian stood up, watched He Qianqian quietly for another moment, ced the room card on the table, and turned to leave. "Don''t go!" As Lin Tian opened the door, ready to leave, a faint voice suddenly came from behind. Lin Tian''s footsteps halted, and he turned around. "Don''t go, stay with me!" He Qianqian, not knowing when, had thrown off the nket and was looking at Lin Tian. "How could you do this!" He Qianqian looked angrily at Lin Tian, who was baring his upper body. "What did I do?" Lin Tian, somewhat confused, sat up, and as he moved, he saw his own bare torso and instantly understood the misunderstanding. So Lin Tian hurriedly exined, "I have a habit of sleeping naked. I must have taken off my clothes unknowingly while sleeping. I didn''t do anything to you." "Hmm?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian somewhat skeptically. Seeing that He Qianqian still seemed unconvinced, Lin Tian continued to exin, "Look, your clothes are all in order. Can''t you remember anything at all? I really didn''t do anything yesterday. At most... at most I kissed you once." He Qianqian stared nkly at Lin Tian for a while, then hurriedly checked her body and indeed found her clothes intact, and she didn''t feel anything unusual down below. Considering she had never done that before, if something had really happenedst night, it should be very painful right now. It seemed that nothing really happenedst night. Realizing this, He Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically at Lin Tian, "I''m sorry, I... I got a bit agitated." Lin Tian, a bit speechless, twisted his mouth, "I didn''t do anything yesterday. It was you who kept kissing and biting me!" "Umm..." ``` Just thinking about what she had done yesterday, He Qianqian felt her face burning hot. She even felt a bit afraid to meet Lin Tian''s eyes. "Huff!" Taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood, He Qianqian got ready to get out of bed. As He Qianqian moved, the nket on the bed was tossed aside. With the nket tossed aside, Lin Tian''s body was openly exposed from beneath it. He Qianqian stared dumbfounded at Lin Tian''s body, and angrily yelled, "Lin Tian, you''re shameless!" "I, I, I did say that I have a habit of sleeping naked!" Lin Tian hurriedly covered his private parts with a bitter smile on his face. How embarrassing! How embarrassing! To have inadvertently stripped off all his clothes while sleeping! He Qianqian quickly turned her head away, her cheeks as red as a ripe apple. An hourter, He Qianqian and Lin Tian left the hotel in session. He Qianqian was heading back to school, while Lin Tian was going home. When leaving the hotel, He Qianqian''s cheeks were still somewhat flushed, showing a hint of shyness. He Qianqian left ten minutes before Lin Tian left the hotel. Afterward, Lin Tian promptly hailed a cab home. By the time he got home, it was past six o''clock. Lin Tian was somewhat relieved that his parents hadn''t woken up yet. Entering the living room, Lin Tian tiptoed back to his own room. Back in his room and lying on the bed, Lin Tian''s mind once again reyed the events ofst night. Lin Tian indeed hadn''t done anythingst night, but He Qianqian had kissed him for a full half-hour. Afterward, He Qianqian dozed off in a daze, and Lin Tian didn''t make any moves. At that moment, Lin Tian could have gone further, but he disdained to do so. Lin Tian wanted He Qianqian''s heart, not just her body. If he had gone all the way, Lin Tian felt it wouldn''t be worth it and was beneath him. He was confident that one day, He Qianqian would willingly be with him. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian cast aside some of the misceneous thoughts in his mind and began to focus his consciousness in his mind. As Lin Tian''s will acted, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind, "Taskpleted, reward: 2 Supernatural Points." As soon as He Qianqian left the hotel, the task had beenpleted, but it wasn''t until now that Lin Tian had time to check it. "Now with two more Supernatural Points, added to the previous two, I have a total of four Supernatural Points." Looking at the points floating like golden beans in his mind, Lin Tian muttered to himself. After some thought, Lin Tian remembered that bald-headed principal and Zhu Jiang. Thinking of Zhu Jiang, Lin Tian''s brows furrowed slightly as he pondered in silence, "It felt good to hit him yesterday, but now it''s a bit tricky." Every time he thought of Zhu Jiang, Lin Tian''s brow would furrow. After all, Zhu Jiang was the principal, and Lin Tian was still a student at the school. Moreover, Lin Tian had a history of fighting; Zhu Jiang could easily find an excuse to expel him. It wouldn''t matter much to Lin Tian himself since he had superpowers. Even if he was expelled, it wouldn''t have much impact on Lin Tian. But it was different for He Qianqian. She was a teacher at the school, and even if Zhu Jiang couldn''t take drastic measures against He Qianqian all at once, he could still make her life difficult from time to time. "I must solve this problem, not just for myself, but also for Teacher He." Lin Tian pondered in silence. "What to do?" Lin Tian delved deep into thought as he began to contemte a solution. Suddenly, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened as he recalled a rumor about Zhu Jiang. Considering Zhu Jiang''s behavior from the previous night, Lin Tian was sure that the rumor was almost certainly true. "If that''s the case..." Thinking this, a gleam of excitement shed in Lin Tian''s eyes, and he summoned the superpower menu in his mind. After carefully searching through the menu, Lin Tian''s gaze settle on one of the options, "Level 1 Invisibility Superpower. Requires 4 Supernatural Points to exchange." "Invisibility Superpower! It''s you!" Seeing this superpower, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, resolutely deciding to make the exchange.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om With a single thought, the four Supernatural Points in Lin Tian''s mind disappeared. At the same time, Lin Tian felt his body warm up slightly. "Lin Tian, time to get up!" Just as Lin Tian had finished exchanging for the superpower, a knock on the door came from outside his room. It was his mother Shi Qing''s voice. After knocking a few times, Shi Qing left to knock on Lin Fang''s door. Hearing the knocking, Lin Tian had a thought, willed it, and his body instantly vanished from sight. Lin Tian extended his hand and felt his body be slightly translucent. Lin Tian got up, opened the door, and walked out. As Lin Tian walked out, Shi Qing was knocking on Lin Fang''s door. Hearing the sound of the door, Shi Qing turned her head to look and a flicker of confusion crossed her eyes. She clearly did not see Lin Tian, who was standing in the corridor. Seeing the puzzlement in his mother''s eyes, Lin Tian felt a surge of joy inside. It really worked! Afterward, having finished breakfast and telling Bu Mengting that he wasn''t feeling well and wouldn''t be going to school with her, Lin Tian also called his homeroom teacher Li Min to say he was unwell and needed to take a two-day leave. Li Min was only too d not to see Lin Tian and grunted in agreement after a couple of grumbles. After settling everything, Lin Tian then bought a high-definition digital camcorder in the market. Holding the camcorder, a cold smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips, "Bald-headed principal, you better start praying!" ``` Chapter 38 Principal, Youre Famous Holding the camera in his hand, Lin Tian took a taxi directly to Zhu Jiang''s house. Lin Tian already knew where Zhu Jiang lived because, during a previous conversation, a ssmate showing off his insider knowledge had let slip Zhu Jiang''s address. Lin Tian had subconsciously remembered it at the time. Little did he expect that it woulde in handy today. Having just alighted from the taxi near Zhu Jiang''s house, Lin Tian happened to see Zhu Jiang, his face swollen like a pig''s, stepping out of his home. "Lucky me!" Lin Tian muttered to himself as he watched Zhu Jiang and quietly followed behind him. After walking a short distance, Lin Tian noticed Zhu Jiang hail a taxi that was not headed toward the school. Witnessing this, Lin Tian hurriedly hailed another taxi and followed. Half an hourter, Lin Tian saw Zhu Jiang stop at the People''s Hospital. Lin Tian followed him there as well. At the hospital, Lin Tian discovered that Zhu Jiang was there to get medication for his face. Watching this scene from a distance, Lin Tian chuckled to himself. Half an hourter, Zhu Jiang left the hospital cursing under his breath, apparently at someone unknown. After leaving the hospital, Zhu Jiang took another taxi. Lin Tian continued to follow. Twenty minutester, Lin Tian saw Zhu Jiang enter a high-end residential area. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, "Seems like there''s something going on?" Because Lin Tian noticed that this residential area was not where Zhu Jiang''s home was located. Stealthily trailing behind, and unable to enter themunity due to the security guard, Lin Tian turned invisible in a deserted area without any cameras. After bing invisible, Lin Tian quietly followed him inside. Lin Tian continued following Zhu Jiang until they reached Building 11, and then they both entered the elevator together. Lin Tian wasn''t worried about the elevator''s camera; he had tested it before and knew the camera couldn''t capture him, not even with infrared. After exiting the elevator with Zhu Jiang, Lin Tian saw him ring the doorbell of apartment 110. Shortly after the bell rang, the door suddenly opened, and a seductive-looking woman appeared; she stared at Zhu Jiang in shock, "Darling, what happened to you." Hearing this address, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up and he quickly turned on the camera. Zhu Jiang, oblivious to the ghost behind him, saw the woman, walked in impatiently, andined, "Stop talking about it, just the thought of it infuriates me." Seeing Zhu Jiang enter, Lin Tian hurriedly followed him inside. Once inside, Zhu Jiang immediately shut the door and impatiently lifted the woman, "Hurry, I can hardly contain myself!" "Oh, not now..." Lin Tian watched the erotic disy before him, dumbfounded. This was desperately thirsty behavior. Caught off guard, but Lin Tian didn''t forget to keep filming. As he filmed, Lin Tian felt his blood heating up¡ªthis woman was indeed provocative, and she had both the figure and the face. "A cabbage devastated by a pig!" Lin Tian mumbled jealously to himself. "Useless!" Lin Tian sneered, inwardly despising him. But despite his disdain, Lin Tian didn''t slow down his filming. With this video, Lin Tian knew, Zhu Jiang was done for. After filming for a while, Lin Tian felt that his invisibility was about to wear off, so he quietly opened the door and left while the two were heading back to their room. After all, level one invisibility was still somewhat basic¡ªafter being invisible for an hour straight, he needed some time to rest. In the afternoon, Lin Tian continued to film, but he didn''t capture anything useful. That evening, Lin Tian managed to film something interesting. Incredibly, that night Zhu Jiang went to a brothel with someone and even took two women at once. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, and he filmed everything. He didn''t return home until Zhu Jiang did, feelingpletely satisfied. Back at home, Lin Tian roughly edited the videos and then uploaded them. When uploading, Lin Tian chose a sensational title, "Principal Zhu Jiang of xx City xx Middle School Caught with Prostitutes: A Night with Two Women." The title was attention-grabbing and imposing, immediately drawing eyes after Lin Tian uploaded the video using public Wi-Fi to various major video sites, forums, and message boards. Having finished everything, Lin Tian turned off hisputer with a rxed face, smiling broadly, "Tomorrow, there will be a good show!" The next morning, before going to school, Lin Tian specifically turned on hisputer to check. He found that the video he uploadedst night had gone viral. The views were skyrocketing. Seeing this, Lin Tian smiled slightly, knowing that Zhu Jiang was truly finished this time! With a joyful mood, Lin Tian decided not to take leave today and went to school. To Lin Tian''s surprise, Zhu Jiang''s troubles hadn''t hit yet, but Lin Tian''s own trouble came first. Just after morning reading, Lin Tian was called over by his homeroom teacher, Li Min. Calling Lin Tian to the office, Li Min looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Lin Tian, because you openly fought with a ssmate a while ago, it has caused a very bad influence on the school. The matter even alerted Principal Zhu. Upon Principal Zhu''s suggestion, we decided to advise you to withdraw!" Li Min looked calmly at Lin Tian, her eyes containing a hint of schadenfreude. She had long been dissatisfied with Lin Tian, and naturally, she was very pleased with the school''s decision. "Advise me to withdraw?" Lin Tian frowned, raised his head, and locked eyes with Li Min, dissatisfaction shing in his eyes, "Why? On what grounds?" Seeing Lin Tian''s defiant attitude, Li Min was very displeased, her face cooling as she said, "On what grounds? On the grounds that you fought, and on the principal''s authority!" "Is it that bald Zhu Jiang!" A cold smirk appeared on Lin Tian''s lips. "Lin Tian, mind yournguage. He''s your principal!" Li Min looked at Lin Tian with displeasure. "Principal? Not for long! I''m going to give him trouble! Just watch, I''ll show him!" saying this, Lin Tian stormed out of the office with a cold face, heading straight toward the administrative building. "Hey, what are you doing?" Seeing Lin Tian turn and leave, Li Min was startled, and upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, she was even more shocked. Lin Tian was actually thinking of confronting the principal? Was he out of his mind? Greatly rmed, Li Min paused for a moment, then hurriedly followed him. Lin Tian, annoyed and swift-footed, walked toward the principal''s office. He hadn''t expected Zhu Jiang to try to expel him so quickly. Li Min was right; as principal, Zhu Jiang indeed had the authority to expel him. But Lin Tian wasn''t going to leave with his tail between his legs; even if he had to go, he''d go out with a bang. Lin Tian''s face was stern as he walked quickly to the principal''s office, pausing as he crossed the yground, his gaze fixed intently on someone in the yground. Zhu Jiang! At that moment, Zhu Jiang was standing on the yground speaking to a group of students, and beside him stood four or five teachers. After a night''s rest, the swelling on Zhu Jiang''s face had subsided quite a bit, but it still looked somewhat puffy. Staring at Zhu Jiang, Lin Tian snorted coldly and walked briskly over. Zhu Jiang, who was lecturing the students, suddenly sensed something was off and looked up, only to be shocked to see the student who had hit him the day before yesterday. And by the look of it, it was clear that the other party had malevolent intentions. Seeing Lin Tian in this manner, a sh of nervousness crossed Zhu Jiang''s eyes. He pointed at Lin Tian and shouted, "What are you doing? Stop there!" Hearing Zhu Jiang''s shout, everyone was stunned and turned their heads to look at Lin Tian. Lin Tian walked quickly to a spot not far in front of Zhu Jiang and stared at him coldly, "You want to expel me?" "People like you who only know how to fight and cause trouble, it''s normal to expel them." Seeing Lin Tian standing still, Zhu Jiang thought Lin Tian would not dare to do anything and thus gathered some courage to coldly stare back at Lin Tian. "Want to expel me? Very well!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he dashed forward suddenly, pping him across the face. "p!" A loud smack! This sudden p stunned everyone present. Everyone was dumbstruck looking at Lin Tian, unable to believe the scene before them. Find more to read at empire Below the stage, a student stared dumbfounded at Lin Tian, "He, he actually dared to hit the principal?" Incredible! It''s too incredible! Bold! Really bold! "You, you¡­" Zhu Jiang, with his hand covering his face, pointed at Lin Tian, trying to say something, looking somewhat enraged. Lin Tian, with a cold face, pped him again. "p!" Sharp and loud! "p!" He swung another p! Lin Tian coldly looked at thepletely bewildered Zhu Jiang and said icily, "Baldy, you dare to expel me? Asking for it, aren''t you?" Saying that, Lin Tian pped him yet again. Lin Tian pped him rapidly one after another, and it took quite a while before the nearby teachers could react. Someone hastily cried for security, and some tried to pull Lin Tian away. "Expel him, expel him right now, and also, call security over!" By this time, Zhu Jiang had alsoe back to his senses, covering his swollen cheek with one hand and pointing at Lin Tian as he shouted. "Expel me? Go ahead! But, dear principal, you might want to think about your own problems first." Saying this, Lin Tian leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on him, a hint of a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "Principal, you''re trending now!" After finishing his words, Lin Tian shook off the hand that was about to grab his arm and turned to leave. "Arrogant! So arrogant!" Zhu Jiang trembled with rage from Lin Tian''s defiant attitude. Being hit by a student in his own school was such a loss of face! Such a loss of face, how could he manage after this! How could hemand respect! "Someone, someone!" Zhu Jiang bellowed furiously. "Beep beep!" Just as Zhu Jiang was frantically shouting, wanting revenge, his phone in his pocket rang suddenly. "Hello! What is it!" An irate Zhu Jiang answered the phone and immediately yelled, not caring who it was. But as Zhu Jiang yelled, raging shouts also came from the other end of the call, "Zhu Jiang, what a mess you''ve made!" "Ah!" Hearing this voice, Zhu Jiang was shocked; it was the voice of a leader from the education department. "Director Lin, what''s wrong?" Zhu Jiang tried to suppress his anger and spoke as calmly as he could.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "What''s wrong? You''re asking me what''s wrong? Go online and see for yourself!" With that, the phone was abruptly hung up. Zhu Jiang stared at the abruptly disconnected phone, looking somewhat bewildered. Thinking it over, Zhu Jiang quickly headed towards the nearestputerb, as for Lin Tian, he could no longer be bothered about him. Meanwhile, after beating up Zhu Jiang, Lin Tian felt much better. He didn''t consider his actions rash. He had already been arranged to be persuaded to leave, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would have been expelled today. Even if he did nothing, he would still be expelled. Since it was going to happen anyway, why not vent a bit? Of course, this might have irreversible consequences. But what about it? Lin Tian''s biggest trump card was the Supernatural Ability System. With the Supernatural Ability System, it did not matter if Lin Tian didn''t attend school. The Supernatural Ability System was Lin Tian''s biggest confidence. Whether he was expelled or not didn''t matter anymore! ** However, what surprised Lin Tian was that he still had not been expelled after waiting for a day. The biggest reason was that Zhu Jiang was too preupied with his own troubles to bother about Lin Tian. A day''s time had made the entire school aware of what had happened online. The video uploaded by Lin Tian quickly became a headline on major websites. Under this immense pressure, Zhu Jiang''s position was quickly and thoroughly stripped away. Everything happened so fast that Zhu Jiang didn''t even have time to issue the expulsion notice for Lin Tian. And once everything had settled down, the new principal also didn''t want to provoke Lin Tian, this hot-headed youth, fearing that he might also get beaten. For the new principal, whether to expel Lin Tian or not didn''t matter; it made no difference to him. Anyway, he had no feud with Lin Tian. Just like that, Lin Tian was surprised to find that after hitting the principal, he faced no consequences, not even a disciplinary action. It was truly unexpected. Chapter 39 Ill Take You Home The school was in the midst of a storm over the next few days, as the scandal that took ce had the teachers and students talking. The school was in the midst of a storm over the next few days, as the scandal that took ce had the teachers and students talking. And this incident also effectively diluted the impact of Lin Tian''s assault on the principal. Of course, the school''s leaders hadn''t forgotten about it, they just didn''t want to provoke Lin Tian, the hot-headed youth. After all, there was just over a month until the college entrance exam, and Lin Tian would leave the school. Even if they expelled Lin Tian now, it wouldn''t benefit them and might instead provoke him into a frenzy. Then they''d end up without any benefits and perhaps beaten up instead¡ªit just wasn''t worth it. For a variety of reasons, Lin Tian wasn''t punished at all for beating up the principal. Of course, it wasn''t that the incident had no impact on Lin Tian. Because the matter was a big deal, Lin Tian''s sister, Lin Fang, heard about it and, without exception, told their parents. Naturally, Lin Tian was harshly scolded by his parents. But that was it, the incident gradually faded as the school began to transition to new leadership. The development of events also allowed the always somewhat worried He Qianqian to breathe a sigh of relief. To be honest, ever since she returned from the motel that day, He Qianqian had been ready to resign at any moment, knowing Zhu Jiang wouldn''t let her off easily. But what happened next took He Qianqianpletely by surprise. First, Lin Tian publicly beat up the principal, and just when He Qianqian was worried sick for Lin Tian, Zhu Jiang was hit by a scandal and got taken down. Everything happened so fast, and by the time He Qianqian could react, it was all settled. As for the video that exploded online, He Qianqian had always suspected it had something to do with Lin Tian, but he wouldn''t say when asked. Read new chapters at empire He Qianqian felt Lin Tian had some secret, as if he were shrouded in an impervious mist. At the same time, this series of events also led He Qianqian''s feelings for Lin Tian to undergo significant changes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om He Qianqian knew Lin Tian liked her, and she had always treated him like a younger brother. But... Just thinking about that night at the hotel, the frenzied kissing, made He Qianqian''s face feel warm. For some reason, she didn''t know when it started, but He Qianqian felt a different kind of feeling for Lin Tian now. Could it be she was falling for him? At the thought, He Qianqian shook her head. How could that be, He Qianqian denied internally. But despite her denial, He Qianqian knew she was lying to herself. These past few days, images of Lin Tian would pop into her mind from time to time. Having not seen Lin Tian for a long time, she always wanted to check on what he was doing. All this forced He Qianqian to admit that she had developed some sort of fondness for Lin Tian. Once she recognized this change in herself, He Qianqian was shocked. She then decided resolutely to cut off these feelings, since a rtionship between them was impossible. After making up her mind, for the next few days He Qianqian deliberately avoided Lin Tian, hoping time would dilute her feelings. "Teacher, let me walk you back!" After evening study session ended, Lin Tian chased after He Qianqian with a cheerful grin as she was heading to her dorm. By then, a week had passed since thest incident of beating the principal. But even after so many days, many students still remembered Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian approach, many of them stealthily took note of him. Noticing the gazes of the surrounding students, He Qianqian shook her head and smiled, "You''ve be quite the celebrity now!" "Heh heh..." Lin Tian scratched his head and grinned, offering no response. He Qianqian didn''t say anything and continued walking toward her dorm with her textbooks, seemingly not interested in engaging with Lin Tian. But Lin Tian didn''t mind and followed behind her,ughing cheerfully. Trailing behind He Qianqian, Lin Tian smirked and whispered, "Teacher, you''ve be more beautiful!" "Don''t be so slick here, you can go back, I don''t need you to walk me!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, He Qianqian rolled her eyes and spoke somewhat speechlessly. She was now used to Lin Tian''s smooth talk. Ever since the motel incident, Lin Tian had be much bolder, daring to flirt with her when they were alone. Seeing He Qianqian roll her eyes at him, Lin Tian wasn''t embarrassed at all but instead raised his eyebrows, grinning cheekily, "I''m not being slick, I''m speaking from the heart. Look, even when you''re angry, you''re beautiful!" He Qianqian was at a loss for words and hurried forward. Lin Tian followed with augh. Lin Tian walked He Qianqian all the way to the door of her dorm. When He Qianqian opened the door, Lin Tian quickly nced left and right, spotted no one around, and swiftly darted into the room. "How did you get in here? Get out quickly!" Seeing Lin Tian directly enter the room, He Qianqian was startled and hurriedly said. Lin Tian didn''t speak, closed the door, leaned his back against it, and watched He Qianqian with a smirking smile, "Why have you been avoiding me these days?" "No, I haven''t," He Qianqian''s face flickered with a trace of difort. "No, still denying? You always used to chat with me, but now you avoid me when you see me," Lin Tian curled his lips. "Uh..." He Qianqian was at a loss for words. Indeed, these past few days, He Qianqian had been somewhat avoiding Lin Tian. She didn''t believe that there was a possibility of them being together. Let''s not even talk about them being teacher and student, just the age. She was already 25, while Lin Tian was only 18. There was a full 7 years difference between them. By the time Lin Tian was in his twenties, she would be in her thirties, and when Lin Tian reached his thirties, she would be forty. The thought of this age gap made He Qianqian shake her head. It was precisely because she sensed this trend that He Qianqian had been intentionally avoiding Lin Tian. What He Qianqian had not expected was that today, Lin Tian would actually block her path outright. Hesitating for a moment, He Qianqian decided to speak her mind clearly. Thinking this, He Qianqian raised her head and looked at Lin Tian earnestly, "Lin Tian, I know what you''re thinking about me. But it''s impossible, you should focus on your studies!" "Why?" Lin Tian looked at her quietly. "You''re too young!" Seeing Lin Tian like this, He Qianqian, despite feeling somewhat reluctant to hurt him, ultimately shook her head determinedly. "It''s not possible, we can''t be," she said. "Really not possible," Lin Tian watched her quietly. "Impossible!" He Qianqian shook her head firmly. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly stepped forward, pressing He Qianqian against the wall with his body tightly against hers. "What are you doing!" He Qianqian''s eyes were somewhat panicked. "Mmm..." He Qianqian''s beautiful eyes widened in surprise. A full minute passed before Lin Tian finally let go. "Huff huff!" As soon as Lin Tian released her, He Qianqian gasped for air and scolded feebly, "Are you trying to suffocate me?" Due to theck of oxygen, He Qianqian''s fair face was slightly flushed, making her look even more shy and lovely. Lin Tian, without responding, asked dominantly, "Is there a possibility for us?" "No chance!" He Qianqian rejected outright. "Mmm..." He Qianqian''s beautiful eyes widened helplessly... After a minute, Lin Tian asked, "Is there any possibility?" "No chance!" "Mmm..." He kissed her forcefully again. "Could it be possible?" "Not possible!" Another forceful kiss! After three or five attempts, "Could it be possible?" Lin Tian looked at her dominantly. He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a helpless expression, shook her head, and said, "Possible! It''s possible, okay? You... are too shameless!" "Heh heh..." A triumphant smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips. Ten minutester, He Qianqian looked somewhat helplessly at Lin Tian, who was shamelessly clinging to her arm, and rolled her eyes, "Who taught you these rogue methods?" "I read it in a book," he said. "Which book?" He Qianqian asked through gritted teeth. "The Golden Lotus!" Lin Tian recalled for a moment, then replied with a cheeky smile. "..." He Qianqian rolled her eyes in irritation. Chapter 40 Want to Fight? Come, Lets Practice A weekter in the evening, Lin Tian sneaked into He Qianqian''s dormitory once again. Upon entering the room, Lin Tian hurriedly shut the door and then embraced He Qianqian, kissing her wildly. "You, don''t..." He Qianqian hadn''t finished her sentence when Lin Tian blocked her mouth. A minuteter, Lin Tian finally let go of He Qianqian. "Huff huff!" He Qianqian panted heavily,ining, "You shouldn''t keeping here if it''s not necessary; it''s not good if someone finds out!" "It''s okay, I''m very careful!" Lin Tian said with a chuckle, sitting on He Qianqian''s small bed as if he were at his own home. Explore new worlds at empiren/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Ever since that kiss a week ago, their rtionship had, in a way, made a significant breakthrough. Although He Qianqian was still somewhat reluctant, the moment she suggested breaking up, she would immediately provoke a whirlwind of passionate kisses from Lin Tian. Under Lin Tian''s shameless tactics, He Qianqian had no choice but to ept this rtionship reluctantly. Seeing Lin Tian not treating her ce as foreign at all, He Qianqian felt somewhat helpless and gently patted Lin Tian''s arm, cautioning, "You can only stay for ten minutes; after ten minutes, you have to leave." "Got it!" Lin Tian pouted. Looking around, he grinned and said, "Let''s kiss one more time!" "No..." He Qianqian had just started to shake her head in refusal when she suddenly widened her eyes. Her small mouth was promptly sealed by Lin Tian. Thirty secondster, He Qianqian, gasping for breath, pushed Lin Tian away and tidied up her slightly messy hair, looking at Lin Tian with aining gaze, "What are you doing!" "Uh..." Lin Tian chuckled foolishly, feigning ignorance. Seeing Lin Tian acting like this, He Qianqian helplessly shook her head, thought for a while, then looked at Lin Tian and said, "By the way, I''m going shopping with Bu Mengting and Chen Min tomorrow. Bu Mengting wants you toe along too!" "Oh?" Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at He Qianqian in surprise, "You''re going shopping tomorrow?" "Yeah!" Recalling something, He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a teasing smile, "It seems Bu Mengting really cares about you. Do you have some sort of rtionship with her?" "Not at all!" Lin Tian''s eyes flickered as he denied it outright. Could he possibly tell her about the ambiguity with Bu Mengting? Seeing Lin Tian''s evasive gaze, He Qianqianughed it off nonchntly and said meaningfully, "Go after her if you like her. She''s more your type. To you, I''m too old!" "Where are you old! You''re my tender morsel!" Lin Tian chuckled and then pounced on He Qianqian. "Mmm, don''t..." ... Ten or so minutester, feeling that no one was around, Lin Tian sneakily left He Qianqian''s room. By the time Lin Tian left the school, there were hardly any people around. Over the past week, Lin Tian had been going to He Qianqian''s room every other day. Although he hadn''t gone all the way, Lin Tian had touched everything he could. Lin Tian was not in a rush for the final step, as their rtionship was not yet stable; it was best not to rush, for haste makes waste. "Shopping tomorrow?" Lin Tian muttered to himself as he rode his bicycle. Tomorrow was Sunday, a day off. When he was about to get home, Lin Tian suddenly felt his cellphone vibrating in his pocket. Taking it out, he saw it was a call from Bu Mengting. "Hello." "Lin Tian, I just went to your house. Why aren''t you back yet?" Bu Mengting''s sweet voice came from the other end of the phone. "I''m on my way!" Lin Tian replied casually while riding his bike. "Tomorrow, Teacher He, Chen Min, and I are going to the shopping street. Are youing?" "Sure!" Lin Tian agreed promptly, having anticipated this. "Then that''s settled. We''re leaving at eight in the morning, don''t forget." "Yeah, sure. Bye." After hanging up, Lin Tian sped up his bike. ** The next morning at half past seven, Lin Tian got up, washed up, finished breakfast, and was just opening his door when he saw Bu Mengtinging out from across the hallway. The sight of Bu Mengting brightened Lin Tian''s eyes. So stunning! Today, Bu Mengting wore a pair of blue denim shorts that revealed her snowy white, shapely legs to the air, making Lin Tian''s heart race. Looking up, she wore a blue cartoon T-shirt, and her hair was tied into a simple ponytail, topped off with a pair of white sneakers on her feet. The whole person exuded a youthful vibe that rushed towards him. "What are you dazing at? Let''s go," Bu Mengting said with a sweet smile as she noticed Lin Tian staring at her. "So beautiful!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but admire. "Psh!" Bu Mengting scoffed and rolled her eyes. However, despite her reaction, the smile on her face showed that she was pleased with Lin Tian''spliment. Half an hourter, Bu Mengting and Lin Tian arrived at the school gate. Everyone had agreed to meet at the school entrance the day before. After waiting about five minutes, He Qianqian and Chen Min both arrived. When He Qianqian came, she cast a teasingly ambiguous nce at Lin Tian, which made him feel quite embarrassed, especially because at that moment, Bu Mengting was intimately holding Lin Tian''s arm. "Everyone''s here, so let''s get going when the bus arrives," He Qianqian said as soon as everyone had gathered. Five minutester, bus no. 22 stopped at the station. Seeing that the bus wasn''t crowded, they decided to take it. The No. 22 bus could go directly to the pedestrian street junction, but it was some distance away from the pedestrian street, and the ride would take about 30 minutes to get there. When Lin Tian and the others boarded the bus, there weren''t many people, and there were seats avable. Lin Tian had intended to sit with He Qianqian, but as soon as they boarded, Bu Mengting pulled him to sit with her instead. Helpless, Lin Tian had no choice but to sit with Bu Mengting. As soon as they sat down, the three girls began chattering away, truly like the saying, "three women make a y," which Lin Tian now experienced firsthand. Lin Tian couldn''t get a word in the conversation among the three, but he didn''t mind, and just looked out the window with some boredom. Ten minutes after the bus had started, more and more people began to board. When the bus reached Nanjing Road, it was almost filled to bursting, with people packed against each other. Seeing the almost bursting bus, Lin Tian was d they had found seats when they got on, otherwise He Qianqian and the others would definitely have been taken advantage of. Even now, with He Qianqian and the others seated, Lin Tian still noticed nces being cast their way from time to time. All lecherous. After traveling some distance, the bus got even more crowded, and Lin Tian scanned the bus, his eyes narrowing slightly. Lin Tian saw a pregnant woman with a big belly standing in the aisle of the bus, struggling, but no one around offered their seat. After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian stood up and said to her, "Miss, please sit here." "Ah? Thank you! Thank you!" The pregnant woman was stunned for a second and then walked over with a grateful face. Lin Tian stood up to let the pregnant woman sit down, then he himself stood up. After two more stops, the number of people on the bus slightly reduced, but it was still far from empty, and many people were standing in the aisle. Lin Tian, holding onto the handrail, was about to take out his phone to kill some time when, just as he pulled out his phone and raised his head, he paused and narrowed his eyes. Lin Tian''s gaze was fixed straight ahead. In front of Lin Tian, a young man in his twenties, wearing a duckbill cap, was holding a pair of tweezers, which were stealthily extending towards the pocket of an old man in front of him. A pickpocket! The moment Lin Tian saw this scene, the term shed through his mind. "Old man, watch your pocket!" Lin Tian shouted loudly towards the front. Lin Tian''s sudden shout made the noisy bus go quiet at once. Everyone was startled. The old man turned his head in curiosity and saw Lin Tian''s gaze fixed on him. Realizing what was happening, the old man quickly looked down, just in time to see the pickpocket''s tweezers that hadn''t been retracted in time. Seeing this, the old man clutched his pocket tight and moved away from the pickpocket with a wary face. This scene was seen by many people around. A pickpocket! Everyone on the bus now knew there was a pickpocket among them. Seeing the duckbill cap-wearing pickpocket, the people around instinctively avoided him. Suddenly, there was an empty space around the pickpocket. Seeing this, the pickpocket cursed under his breath and red fiercely at Lin Tian before standing still as if nothing had happened. Lin Tian chuckled, not caring about the pickpocket''s warning. After giving the pickpocket a nce, Lin Tian looked down to y on his phone. After a while of ying with his phone, Lin Tian looked up to see where they were. As he lifted his head, he was stunned again. Such luck? Lin Tian once again saw another pickpocket. Of course, this one wasn''t the same one from before; this pickpocket had a crew cut. At that moment, the crew-cut guy was slowly running a razor de across a girl''s white bag. Lin Tian whistled and shouted, "Hey, what are you doing there!" Lin Tian''s sudden outburst startled everyone again. After a moment of confusion, noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, the girl quickly looked down and found her white bag had been slit open by a thumb-sized cut. Upon seeing this, the girl screamed and hurriedly moved away from the pickpocket. Then the people around the pickpocket also began to distance themselves, Thwarted again! The crew-cut pickpocket''s eyes shed with anger and he looked menacingly at Lin Tian, "Kid, you looking to die?" As the crew-cut man spoke, two other men slowly moved towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s gaze swept over them, realizing that in addition to the original duckbill cap pickpocket, there was yet another person. Three of them! There were actually three pickpockets. "Kid, I''m asking if you want to die?" The crew-cut man came up to Lin Tian, bellowing loudly, his spit flying everywhere. Fearing that Lin Tian would get into a fight, He Qianqian quickly stood up and said, "Lin Tian, don''t interfere!" However, He Qianqian wasn''t worried about Lin Tian getting hurt; she knew his capabilities and was more concerned that he''d cause trouble. Mengting and Chen Min, who were taken aback by the sudden conflict, had their faces turn a bit pale. Lin Tian ignored He Qianqian, dodged away from the crew-cut man''s spittle, and said indifferently, "Why are you yelling so loudly? What, you want to fight? Then let''s have a go?" "Looking for death!" Angered by Lin Tian''s contemptuous attitude, the crew-cut man roared and threw a punch at Lin Tian. At the same time, with the crew-cut man''s onset, his twopanions rushed over as well. Lin Tian''s face turned cold, his eyes narrowing slightly as he quickly stepped forward, "Ha!" Chapter 41 Pediatrics As three thieves closed in on Lin Tian, the passengers standing by his side all fearfully moved away. They were afraid of getting involved. And because Lin Tian was standing in the middle of the aisle, when the three thieves surrounded him, there waspletely empty space by his side; almost everyone had fled towards the front and rear ends of the vehicle. Arge empty area was left in the middle. Many passengers were staring at Lin Tian anxiously, most of them pessimistic about his chances. One against three, Lin Tian was almost certainly defeated! Many could imagine Lin Tian being severely beaten by these three men. It was almost a certainty. However, despite this, no one wanted to step forward to help, after all, being a good Samaritan nowadays can be a thankless task. Of course, there were some kind-hearted people who began to take out their phones to dial 110. But to the surprise of these passengers, facing the encirclement of three people, Lin Tian seemed not at all nervous, but rather quite indifferent, seemingly not afraid at all. This attitude of Lin Tian directly irritated the three thieves. They attacked without hesitation. Seeing this scene, many people cursed Lin Tian in their hearts for being an idiot, thinking that he was showing off, still trying to act tough at a time like this. Wasn''t this courting death? But soon, everyone''s eyes widened in disbelief as they watched Lin Tian. Seeing the man with a buzz cut swing a fist toward his head, Lin Tian''s face turned cold, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, shouting loudly, "Hey!" At the same time, Lin Tian also threw a punch. Bang! Their fists collided! Lin Tian''s face remained expressionless, and so did the buzz-cut man. But in less than a second, the buzz-cut man''s face began to contort in pain. "It hurts!" The buzz-cut man desperately iled his hand, screaming frantically. Damn! What the hell is this guy''s hand made of? It''s hard like a rock! While frantically shaking his hand in excruciating pain, the buzz-cut man screamed inwardly. "Bang bang!" At that moment, the attacks from the other two men also came hurtling in. Lin Tian took the brunt of the two men''s assaults with his back, then turned sharply around, punching each of them with his fist! Bang bang! Lin Tian''s consecutive punches struck their abdomens. Following Lin Tian''s actions, the two men instantly fell to the ground in agony, clutching their stomachs, their faces contorted. Hurts, hurts, hurts! So painful! The two men felt a wrenching pain in their abdomens, so painful they couldn''t get up at all. Lin Tian dusted off his back, looking indifferently at the three men, "Is this what you call thievery? It''s pathetically weak!" "Phew!" The buzz-cut man gasped for air, his left hand covering his aching right, and upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, a flicker of rage passed through his eyes. He then shouted loudly and pulled a dagger from his pocket, stabbing directly at Lin Tian. A dagger! Another dagger! Seeing the dagger, Lin Tian''s eyes went cold, and he kicked out directly! Bang! Lin Tian kicked the buzz-cut man harshly in the abdomen, sending him flying! Bang bang! Read exclusive adventures at empire This kick of Lin Tian''s was not light; the buzz-cut man''s body mmed hard against the chair behind him. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. "Hmm?" Lin Tian nced casually to the side with an indifferent gaze. Seeing Lin Tian''s gaze, the other two who were preparing for a sneak attack both jerked with fear and continued to lie on the ground, feigning death.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Looking at the buzz-cut man lying before him unable to get up, Lin Tian slowly approached and said softly, "You wouldn''t die if you didn''t court death." The buzz-cut man red at Lin Tian with anger, wanting to speak, but he was unable to utter a word. "Ding dong, the pedestrian street has been reached, passengers who wish to get off please disembark from the rear door." Right then, the bus came to a stop, having reached the pedestrian street. Seeing that they had arrived at the pedestrian street, Lin Tian gestured to He Qianqian and the others, "Let''s get off." Seeing Lin Tian''s action, He Qianqian and the others hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly got off the bus. Watching Lin Tian and the four of them quickly leave, the previously quiet bus became noisy again. "Who was that guy just now, he''s so awesome!" "Not just awesome, he was amazing! Really amazing!" "He beat those three to the ground, so mighty." Whispers of discussion spread through the crowd. Hearing these discussions, the buzz-cut man who had just managed to stand up turned alternately pale and flushed with anger, waving his dagger and shouting furiously, "Stop your damn chatter, do you want to die?" Hearing the buzz-cut man''s ranting, many people looked on with disdain. Despite this attitude, many still hastened to get off the bus, as they didn''t have the fighting skills of Lin Tian and were afraid something might go wrong if they stayed. ** Elsewhere, Lin Tian and his group, who quickly walked away, felt the thieves probably wouldn''t be able to follow them and then slowed their pace. Although not afraid of them, it was still annoying to be constantly osted like this. Besides, fighting could easily attract the police, and Lin Tian didn''t want to end up at the police station. As they slowed down, Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian incredulously, "Lin Tian, you''re so amazing, you looked downright cool just now!" "Heh heh, it was nothing, just child''s y!" Although he said this, Lin Tian''s face showed a hint of pride. "I was really scared just now," Chen Min said, still visibly shaken. At the same time, her eyes were shining with various lights as she looked at Lin Tian. She couldn''t believe that the Lin Tian she had once looked down upon could be so powerful. Let alone grades, his fighting prowess was also fearsome. He Qianqian, standing nearby, saw all this and thought to herself with a smirk, "This guy does attract attention!" He Qianqian, who had been wanting to break up with Lin Tian, should have been pleased to see this scene. After all, with more girls liking him, his attention would gradually shift away from her. But, for some reason, she found it hard to feel happy and instead felt a sour feeling inside. Chapter 42 One Against Many Looking at the thick-ded knives appearing and disappearing on these men, Lin Tian knew he couldn''t win if he charged at them. What should he do? Should he really go with them? The thought had barely crossed Lin Tian''s mind before he dismissed it. On the street, they might restrain themselves a bit, but if he ended up on their turf, they wouldn''t hold back at all. And with Bu Mengting right beside him, they certainly wouldn''t let her go to prevent her from calling the police. With this in mind, Lin Tian turned his head to nce at Bu Mengting. Her face had already turned slightly pale. Surrounded by over a dozen brawny men, which girl wouldn''t be nervous? Turning his attention away, Lin Tian''s mind raced, and with a thought, he summoned the superpower menu in his mind to see if it offered any solutions. Lin Tian''s gaze swept rapidly over the superpower menu. Suddenly, a glint of joy shed in Lin Tian''s eyes as he stared intently at one of the options, "Level 1 Neural Response Speed superpower. Can increase human neural response speed threefold, exchange requires one Supernatural Point." Seeing this option, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up instantly. With a threefold increase in his physical response speed, Lin Tian''s strength would significantly improve. Lin Tian''s physical strength was already exceptionally strong, but due to his limited reflex speed, he couldn''t fully utilize his power. If he acquired this threefold increase in reflex speed, the two would create a chemical reaction, and Lin Tian''s overall strength would leap forward. With this thought, Lin Tian focused his will and exchanged points. A warm current immediately appeared in his body as he exchanged the superpower. "Kid, get in the car," Chen Tao said, interpreting Lin Tian''s silence as fear, and spoke coldly with a sneer. "Huh!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and stared firmly at Chen Tao, "I''m busy! I''m going to call the police!" After speaking, Lin Tian took out his phone, ready to dial 110. If the threat of police could scare them off that would be ideal, otherwise, he would have no choice but to fight. Seeing Lin Tian''s action, Chen Tao''s expression chilled and he bellowed angrily, pping his hand towards Lin Tian''s head, "Fuck! How dare you y me!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed as he focused, and the hand that was swiftly heading toward him suddenly slowed down. Chen Tao''s movements became sluggish in an instant. "It really works!" A sh of joy crossed Lin Tian''s face, and he easily dodged Chen Tao''s palm, reaching out his hand in return. p! Lin Tian firmly grasped Chen Tao''s wrist. Holding Chen Tao''s wrist, a cold glint shed in Lin Tian''s eyes as he swung his hand down hard! Crack! Lin Tian''s arm strength was immense; with a single forceful move, he broke Chen Tao''s wrist. "Aaah!" Chen Tao screamed in pain, sweat beading on his forehead. Hearing Chen Tao''s scream, the onlooking thugs surged forward. Seeing their movement, Lin Tian pushed off firmly from the ground and went on the offensive! There were too many of them; Lin Tian needed to use the element of surprise to reduce their numbers for the fight. Bang! Bang! This time, Lin Tian showed no mercy, striking to break hands and legs, like a tiger among sheep. In just a few seconds, he sent four or five men flying. And without exception, theyy on the ground crying out in pain,pletely devoid ofbat ability. The remaining few were stunned by Lin Tian''s show of force. After a moment, one of them shouted, "The little prick''s tough, brothers, grab your weapons!" With that, the man violently pulled out a gleaming machete from his person. Whoosh! Whoosh! Bright, shiny machetes appeared, their re causing the heart to flutter. Lin Tian was still a bit nervous facing the gleaming machetes. Taking a deep breath and suppressing his nerves, Lin Tian bent down to pick up a machete dropped by one of the men and charged forward. Swoosh! Swoosh! Machete after machete swung at Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s eyes widened, and as he concentrated, the machetes that were swiftly chopping toward him suddenly slowed down. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and swung the knife hard. Bang! Bang! Lin Tian knocked several machetes flying! "Hey!" Lin Tian''s face cold, he quickly swung the back of his de at the arms of the mening at him.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Crack! Crack! Lin Tian''s strength was so great that even with the t of the de, he broke their arms. Whew! At this moment, a machete Lin Tian didn''t see was chopping at his back. Lin Tian''s eyes tensed, and he red, swinging powerfully in retaliation. St! A severed hand suddenly flew up, and warm blood gently sprayed Lin Tian''s face. "Huff! Huff!" Lin Tian gasped for air, the somewhat fishy smell of blood on his face coloring him a shade redder from tension. "Huff!" Exhaling forcefully, Lin Tian scanned the scene around him. His eyes caught the sight of a man clenching his severed hand, continuously screaming beside him. In his full-force swing, Lin Tian had forgotten to use the t of the de, chopping straight at the man''s arm. With his immense strength, he had severed itpletely. Suppressing the nausea, Lin Tian looked toward the others. He saw the ground covered in chaos, fallen figures all around, with either broken arms or legs, all lying on the ground moaning endlessly. Stunned! Chen Tao grasped his severed hand, looking at Lin Tian in disbelief and shock, as though seeing a monster. And the citizens watching from a distance were also staring at Lin Tian with nk expressions. A look of disbelief on their faces. "That was awesome," a young man muttered subconsciously. He could hardly believe what he had just seen. Ten seconds, just ten or so seconds, and that young man had managed to take down over a dozen people armed with machetes. That was just too exaggerated. Because of Lin Tian''s fierce performance, the previously noisy street suddenly quieted down. After a moment of silence, a sudden rush of siren wails came. "Beep beep... screech!" A series of urgent brakes sounded, leaving a trail of ck skid marks. Then, seven or eight policemen rushed out of the two police cars. Upon seeing the scene before them, all the policemen tensed up, quickly raised their pistols aiming at Lin Tian, and shouted, "Don''t move, put your hands up." Facing multiple dark gun muzzles, Lin Tian raised his hands slowly with a helpless expression. Truly, with so many guns pointed at him, Lin Tian was terrified, afraid that any one of them might identally shoot him. Although he was very fast, he certainly couldn''t outrun a bullet. Of course, it wasn''t hopeless, as long as he used his Invisibility superpower, there was a good chance he could escape. But how could he possibly use Invisibility in broad daylight? So, helplessly, Lin Tian could only slowly raise his hands. "Catch them all! Take the injured ones to the hospital!" a person who looked like a team leader coldly ordered after scanning the scene. Immediately, three people charged at Lin Tian, twisting his arms behind his back with the intention of cuffing him. One of them was especially brutal, even kicking Lin Tian. Threatened by the guns, he didn''t dare to move. Helplessly, Lin Tian let his hands be cuffed with a cold expression and was then pressed into the police car by two officers, one on each side. "Beep beep..." Soon, several more police cars arrived. The police found a few witnesses at the scene and sent all the injured thugs to the hospital. Finally, a pale-faced Bu Mengting was also taken to the police car, though she wasn''t handcuffed. Half an hourter, in the police interrogation room, a young policeman stared sternly at Lin Tian, "Speak! What exactly happened?" With a helpless look on his face, Lin Tian replied, "I told you, those guys blocked me and tried to chop me with knives; I had no choice but to fight back in self-defense!" "Blocked you? Why would they block only you and not others? And, do you think I''m a fool? How could you take down all of them by yourself? While they are all injured, you are unscathed?" Lin Tian nced at the policeman with an odd look, heh, and chuckled, "Even you know you''re foolish. Why don''t you ask the bystanders what happened? You must have taken a few onlookers as witnesses." "You!" Hearing Lin Tian''s sarcasm, Qu Hao''s face turned cold. He barked angrily, wanting to step forward. "What, you want to hit me?" Lin Tian''s hands were cuffed to the chair; he lifted his head and looked at Qu Hao with a cold stare. "Qu Hao, mind the impact!" came a crisp female voice. Hearing this voice, Qu Hao forcefully suppressed the anger inside him, his face ashen as he turned and went back to his seat. "That''s more like it, learn a little from thisdy here. It''s not good for a young man to be so impulsive!" Lin Tian said to the iron-faced Qu Hao with a chuckle. "You!" Qu Hao red at Lin Tian, his eyes nearly spewing fire. If it weren''t for the fact that he knew the chief was watching from outside, he would have loved to beat Lin Tian up. This kid was too arrogant! Seeing the anger in Qu Hao''s eyes, Lin Tian felt a surge of satisfaction, "Damn, that''s for giving me that attitude from the start." It was this guy who had cuffed him at the beginning. Being cuffed was one thing, but the dude was also incredibly rude, even kicking him. Lin Tian was seriously ticked off. So naturally, he was pleased to see Qu Hao looking foolish now. Chen Yixuan stared coldly at the somewhat unruly Lin Tian and said in an icy tone, "Watch your attitude and straighten up." After ncing at Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian curled his lip and said nothing. Speaking of things that made Lin Tian somewhat happy about being at the police station, it was seeing this beauty before him. Lin Tian hadn''t expected to encounter such a beauty in a police station. The girl in front of him was dressed in blue police uniform, wearing a police cap, different from the usual beauties, with neat short hair and not the typical fair skin of girls, but a healthy wheat color. Coupled with her somewhat stern little face, she exuded a wild beauty. Such a wild beauty was rare toe by. The moment he saw her, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. Noticing Lin Tian''s fixed gaze on his goddess, Qu Hao banged the desk fiercely and shouted, "Where are you looking? Show some respect!" "What have I done to be disrespectful!" Lin Tian wasn''t as polite with Qu Hao, and retorted. "You!" A burst of anger rose in Qu Hao as he suddenly stood up. "Knock knock!" came a series of knocks from outside, then the door opened and a policeman came in with a stack of documents. This policeman gave Lin Tian a peculiar look as he walked in, then ced the interrogation records in front of Chen Hao and Chen Yixuan, muttering quietly. All the while, he kept ncing at Lin Tian as he spoke. The murmurs amongst them prompted a sh of surprise on Qu Hao''s face, followed by disbelief as he started to rapidly flip through the records with his head down. These were all statements from bystanders. After a good while, the three finished their exchange and the policeman left the room. Slowly putting down the records, Chen Hao looked at Lin Tian, who was loungingfortably in his chair, in disbelief, "Did you really take down all those people by yourself?" Chen Yixuan, standing next to him, was also looking at Lin Tian with a surprised face, her beautiful eyes flickering with astonishment. "I''ve said this many times already, I don''t want to repeat myself!" Lin Tian replied, irked, as he crossed his legs. While speaking, his eyes sneaked a peek at Chen Yixuan ¨C with a beauty in view, it would be a waste not to look. Qu Hao, who was initially surprised by Lin Tian, noticed his action and, infuriated, banged on the table and rose to his feet, "You little punk, I''m talking to you. Answer properly." Lin Tian slowly turned his head, looking emotionlessly at Qu Hao, "I defeated them, how many times do you want me to say it?" "You''re that powerful?" Qu Hao looked at him incredulously. "I can kill a man with one punch!" Lin Tian stared at him coldly. "Who do you think you are?" Qu Hao said disdainfully, looking at Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed and he suddenly stood up, Hey! Whoosh! A kick tore through the air with a whistle! Bang! Crack! The solid wood desk in front of Qu Hao instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of small sticks. Standing on the broken desk, Lin Tian stared coldly at the stunned Qu Hao, "Convinced now?" Chapter 43 I said, Im not little Stunned! Qu Hao stared nkly at Lin Tian, somewhat dumbfounded at the sight of the table which had turned into small wood sticks beneath his feet. How, how is this possible? To kick a solid wood table apart is difficult enough, but not impossible. But Lin Tian did not just simply scatter the table. He had kicked the entire table into thumb-sized wood sticks, meaning the whole table had been shattered! This strength, this control, could it really be human? Qu Hao gazed at Lin Tian, a look of disbelief on his face. Meanwhile, Chen Yixuan, who had been sitting quietly, was also shocked, staring at Lin Tian, her eyes glittering with astonishment. "This..." Outside the interrogation room, the chief who had been watching the situation through surveince was also dumbfounded at the scene. "Such terrifying strength; is this guy really from Earth?" An officer watching the surveince next to him muttered in surprise. Lin Tian, head slightly tilted back, looked at Qu Hao with a cold face. Feeling Lin Tian''s gaze upon him, Qu Hao, despite being shocked by Lin Tian''s disy, did not show much reaction, merely snorting coldly with a face ashen. However, Lin Tian had just caught the look of horror in Qu Hao''s eyes. He smiled slightly and casually slid the chair back a few steps and sat down again. In that moment, because his hands were handcuffed to the chair, Lin Tian had lifted the chair along with himself. Coldly looking at Lin Tian and then ncing at the shattered wood table on the ground, Qu Hao left the interrogation room with an extremely unsightly expression and a snort as he pushed open the door. Since the room''s table was broken, Lin Tian was taken to another room to continue giving his statement. Half an hourter, the matter had been rified, and it was pretty much as Lin Tian had described. Lin Tian was acting in self-defense, and there was no issue with him. Since Lin Tian was merely acting in self-defense, Chen Yixuan went over and bent down to unlock Lin Tian''s handcuffs, preparing to release him. As Chen Yixuan bent down and approached, Lin Tian caught sight of her full chest straining against her blue police uniform, creating an exceptionally tempting silhouette. And as the distance closed, a delicate fragrance wafted into Lin Tian''s nostrils. "Okay, you can go now." After unlocking Lin Tian''s handcuffs, Chen Yixuan stood up with a cold expression. Despite being somewhat shocked by Lin Tian''s strength, Chen Yixuan was not fond of his personality. Read exclusive chapters at empire "Beautiful, what''s your name!" Rubbing his slightly swollen wrists, Lin Tian stood up and asked with a cheeky grin. Chen Yixuan''s eyebrow twitched, "What? You want to stay here? Hurry up and leave." Lin Tian pursed his lips, having hit a wall, and could only walk out of the interrogation room feeling a bit gloomy. "Lin Tian!" As soon as he walked out of the interrogation room, Lin Tian''s mother Shi Qing quickly approached. Shi Qing''s eyes were slightly red, showing she had cried recently. Scanning the area, Lin Tian noticed that besides his mother, his father, his younger sister Lin Fang, as well as Bu Mengting and her uncle and aunt had alle. ncing over them, Lin Tian focused his gaze on his mother and shook his head,forting her, "Mom, I''m fine." "As long as you''re fine, that''s good; let''s go home," Shi Qing said with her hands gripping Lin Tian''s tightly, her voice full of relief. She had been truly frightened earlier. "Alright, let''s go home." ** Unknowingly, twenty days passed. Because of the incident, Shi Qing kept a close watch on Lin Tian, giving him very little freedom. Although he was rather helpless, he still obediently yed the role of a good student for a while. Perhaps because things were too calm, Lin Tian had not received a single task in those twenty days. After twenty days, the incident had gradually faded from memory. Meanwhile, the college entrance exam was drawing nearer each day. There was just one week left until June 7th, meaning the high school exam was only a week away. With one week left until the high school exam, the school, as usual, gave the students a week off. They suspended sses to let the students rx. On June 1st, on the second day of the vacation, Lin Tian called Bu Mengting, "It''s so hot today; Mengting, are you going swimming this afternoon?" "Your mom agreed to let you out?" came Bu Mengting''s sweet voice from the other end of the phone. "Don''t worry. My mom''s not keeping such a tight leash on me now," Lin Tian assured confidently. "Alright then, I''ll call a few ssmates as well." "Hmm, sounds good." After hanging up, Lin Tian thought for a moment and then dialed He Qianqian''s number. "Hello?" A somewhatnguid female voice came through from the other end of the phone. Hearing the voice, Lin Tian chuckled, "You haven''t gotten out of bed yet?" "Nope, I watched movies tootest night; I''m so sleepy!" she said, and through the phone came anguid yawn. "Better get up now, the sun''s already shining on your butt. If you don''t wake up soon, I mighte over to warm your bed!" Lin Tian said with a mischievousugh. "Don''t even try it; I''ll report you, you know. Don''te over, you''ll get caught," she cautioned. "Heh, hasn''t it been fine all this time? Don''t you miss me?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, stillughing yfully. During this period, Lin Tian had frequented He Qianqian''s bed and had be very familiar with it. On the other side of the phone, He Qianqian rolled her eyes, her expression revealing a sense of helplessness. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Alright, tell me, what''s up?" With He Qianqian''s understanding of Lin Tian, a call so early in the morning definitely meant something was up. "Well, it''s like this, Mengting said she wants to go swimming this afternoon, are you in?" "Swimming, huh..." He Qianqian thought for a bit, then nodded and said, "Let''s go, it''s been a while since I''ve had some fun." "Alright, I''ll contact youter when it''s time." "Babe, blow me a kiss!" Saying so, Lin Tian blew a kiss towards the phone. Listening to Lin Tian''s teasing words on the phone, He Qianqian felt a wave of helplessness. Shaking her head, she said goodbye and then hung up the phone. At three in the afternoon, a group of eight people took a taxi to Huiquan Swimming Pool. Among the eight, Lin Tian was the only male; all the others were girls. "Let''s go in." After getting off the taxi and ncing at the swimming pool, Lin Tian said. The group entered the swimming pool and found that it was quite crowded; naturally it was summer, and the weather was very hot, attracting many people toe and swim. When Lin Tian and his group arrived, they drew a lot of attention. After all, having that many youthful and attractive girls enter all at once, it was impossible not to turn heads. As the only guy in the group, Lin Tian naturally went up to the front desk to pay. After paying, under the guidance of a waiter, Lin Tian and the girls headed to their respective changing rooms. Arriving at the men''s changing room, Lin Tian found the facilities to be quite good, with each person having their own private room, their own locker, and a ce to shower with hot water. There was even shower gel and shampoo provided. Seeing the setup, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction; the entry fee of fifty yuan per person was well spent. Quickly changing clothes, taking a quick shower, and donning his swimsuit and swim cap, Lin Tian stood in front of the mirror to take a good look at himself. The reflection in the mirror may not have been a heartthrob, but the muscr physique was bound to make many girls scream. Ever since acquiring the "Ox Power Technique," Lin Tian''s physique had undergone a radical transformation. His height remained the same at 1.70 meters, but his once slightly frail body was nowhere to be seen. Evenly distributed muscles could be seen all over his body, especially when looking at the eight-pack abs, Lin Tian was even more satisfied. The muscles on Lin Tian''s body were not the exaggerated, bulging type, but rather appeared very proportional, the epitome of a golden ratio. Satisfied with his inspection, Lin Tian nodded and turned to walk out of the changing room. Wearing a swim cap and trunks, Lin Tian stepped out of the changing room. As soon as he walked out, Lin Tian noticed that the rate at which people turned their heads to look at him shot up instantly. Both boys and girls were repeatedly turning around to nce at him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om There was no helping it; Lin Tian''s physique truly drew a lot of attention. When Lin Tian came out, the chattering front desk girls at the counter immediately froze, some staring at him nkly with a mysterious light twinkling in their eyes. They didn''t expect that Lin Tian''s seemingly weak body could have such perfect muscles. And the boys who saw Lin Tian''s perfect physique all wore looks of envy. Raising an eyebrow with a slight smile, Lin Tian passed by the counter towards the opposite corridor to wait for the girls toe out. Lin Tian didn''t have to wait long when suddenly, with a "click," one of the changing room doors opened. Leaning against the wall, Lin Tian turned his head, and upon seeing who it was, his mind went nk and he felt his mouth go dry. "This, this..." "What''s up, what are you looking at?" As soon as she came out, He Qianqian, who saw Lin Tian not far away, walked over with a smile. "Don''t you know you''re tempting people tomit a crime like that?" Lin Tian looked up and down at He Qianqian, feeling his mouth go dry. "What are you thinking, little brat!" He Qianqian obviously knew what Lin Tian meant, gently tapping his forehead while chastising him. "I told you, I''m not little!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, slightly dissatisfied. "Really?" He Qianqian smiled teasingly at Lin Tian. "If I say I am, then I am!" "Ow, what are you doing!" "Click!" Just then, the sound of a door opening suddenly rang out. Lin Tian was startled and hurriedly backed away. "What are you guys doing? Teacher He, why is your face so red?" Bu Mengting, who had juste out, looked at Lin Tian and He Qianqian with a puzzled face. Then suspiciously eyed He Qianqian, whose face was flushed red. Chapter 44 You Have a Mole Above "It''s nothing¡ªI was just joking around with Teacher He just now!" Lin Tian looked at Bu Mengting somewhat guiltily, not sure if she had noticed anything just before. . "Really?" Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian skeptically, her eyes filled with a bit of confusion. "Click! Click!" At that moment, the sound of doors opening could be heard, followed by several girls walking out of their rooms in swimsuits. "Wow, Lin Tian, you''re in such great shape¡ªhow could you be so exaggerated? How do you train?" As soon as they emerged, the girls immediately turned their attention to Lin Tian, eximing in surprise at the well-defined muscles on his body. The exmations from the girls distracted Bu Mengting from her suspicions as well, and she turned her gaze to Lin Tian, taking in his perfect muscles with a slight hint of surprise. "Hehe, not bad," Lin Tian said with a forcedugh, his heart feeling a bit guilty from the previous incident, while his gaze subconsciously swept across the girls. Upon looking, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. You couldn''t tell, but the girls in the ss really had something going for them¡ªdespite their young age, what should stick out did, and what should curve did. What caught Lin Tian''s attention the most were the two girls wearing bikinis. How is that any different froming out in underwear? "Hey, where are you looking?" Seeing Lin Tian''s gaze unabashedly scanning the girls'' chests and lower parts, Bu Mengting looked at him disapprovingly. "Hehe..." Lin Tian nervouslyughed and turned away his head, but his eyes still couldn''t help stealing nces. What surprised him was that a few of the girls, upon catching his gaze, intentionally pushed out their full chests. "Looks like I still have some charm!" Lin Tian thought to himself, somewhat narcissistically. "Alright, let''s go inside," said He Qianqian, having regained herposure after the brief interruption, signaling for everyone to stop their frolicking and walk. "Let''s go, let''s head in!" The group walked through the corridor, passing the front desk to enter the swimming pool area. As they passed the front desk, almost everyone''s gaze was drawn to Lin Tian and his group. With so many beautiful women, it was impossible not to attract attention, and even Lin Tian gathered many looks due to his perfect figure. Unfazed, they continued through the hallway, passing the channel and directly entering the swimming pool area. ncing around the interior, Lin Tian''s first thought was that the pool was quiterge, spanning over a thousand square meters, and also quite crowded. "Let''s go down there, that''s the shallow end!" After scanning the area, Bu Mengting suddenly pointed towards the right side of the swimming pool. "Then let''s go," the group agreed, and moved towards it. "Awesome!" The moment Lin Tian hit the water, he shouted out in sheer refreshment. With the sun still shining brightly and the high outside temperatures, hitting the water gave Lin Tian a rush of cool relief. The shallow end was too crowded, with barely any space between people. Lin Tian nced at the girls and said, "It''s too packed here. If you know how to swim, we should move forward a bit. It''s less crowded there." "I''m not very good at swimming, I''ll just stay here," Lin Tian finished speaking and immediately a few girls, including Bu Mengting, who was also not very skilled at swimming, chimed in. "Alright then, I''ll go ahead and have some fun!" Lin Tian nodded and decided to explore deeper waters, wanting to enjoy a good swim since it had been a long time. As he was about to leave, Lin Tian turned to look at He Qianqian beside him and asked, "Teacher He, are you staying here too?" "It''s too crowded here; I''ll go forwards too," said He Qianqian, not wishing to stay in the crowded shallow end since her swimming was quite good. "Alright then, let''s head on," Lin Tian said to Bu Mengting and took the lead to swim ahead. "Ssh! Ssh!" Lin Tian had only swum a few meters doggy-style when he heard the sound of sshing water behind him, and turning his head, he saw it was He Qianqian. Lin Tian stopped to wait for her. When He Qianqian caught up to him, he proposed with a cheeky smile, "My dear Teacher He, how about a race to see who can swim to the other side first? The loser has to grant the winner one request." He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a smile that was not quite a smile and nodded, "No problem. Let''s start!" and she immediately set off swimming. "Hey, you''re cheating!" Lin Tian shouted from behind. He Qianqian paid him no mind and swam swiftly forward. Watching He Qianqian race away, Lin Tian pursed his lips. He had to admit her swimming skills were very good¡ªboth her form and speed were impressive. Compared to her, Lin Tian''s swimming was awful. Aside from a bit of backstroke, he could only manage the doggy paddle. His technique was an utter defeat. If it had been the past, he certainly would have lost, but now... Gazing at his bulging muscles, Lin Tian smirked slightly. "Whoo!" He Qianqian moved her arms rhythmically and took quick breaths. She was fast, and the boundary was getting closer. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was nowhere to be seen behind her. "Almost there!" With only seven or eight meters to go, He Qianqian picked up her pace. As she swam rapidly, moving her arms, she thought to herself, "That guy Lin Tian must''ve been left far behind by now." She had agreed to the bet precisely because she saw how ridiculous Lin Tian''s dog paddle looked. Competing in speed with a dog paddle against her? Impossible! And to prevent any idents, He Qianqian had even started a bit early, not quite ying fair. "That kid''s been thrown off by now, right?" With the boundary drawing closer, He Qianqian sped up even more, looking forward to seeing Lin Tian''s dejected face. "My dear Ms. Qianqian, don''t you think this is a bit unfair?" Just when He Qianqian was imagining Lin Tian''s frustrated expression, a familiar voice came from her left. "What the..." He Qianqian turned her head in astonishment. It was Lin Tian! Indeed, it was Lin Tian. At that moment, Lin Tian was sliding along with his less-than-graceful doggy paddle. But his hand movements were incredibly fast! He Qianqian stared, dumbfounded, at Lin Tian. To her, Lin Tian''s hands underwater looked like they were digging through soil with lightning speed. There''s a doggy paddle that fast? He Qianqian was taken by surprise. In the midst of He Qianqian''s astonishment, Lin Tian swiftly passed her and was the first to reach the boundary. Upon reaching the boundary, Lin Tian stopped, turned around, and with a smile teased He Qianqian, "Dear Teacher He, I won!" He Qianqian swam over with an annoyed face, red fiercely at Lin Tian and then nced at Lin Tian''s hands, "Those are dog paws!" "Dog paws couldn''t be that powerful. Remember, oh, you have to grant me a request, fair and square!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, grinning. . "Spit it out, what is it!" He Qianqian leaned against the edge of the swimming pool, clearly irritated. Lin Tian walked over with a grin, stared at He Qianqian''s fair and lovely face and said with a twinkle in his eye, "How about I touch it?" "Touch it, touch where?" He Qianqian eyed Lin Tian warily. Because Lin Tian had been shamelessly making his way to her room for some time now, she had already been kissed by him. He Qianqian shook her head determinedly, rejecting Lin Tian, "Impossible!" "Then let me have a look!" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian with an impish grin and nced down through the water. At that depth, the water barely reached their necks, and through the water Lin Tian could only vaguely see the ck swimsuit on He Qianqian''s body. Noticing where Lin Tian''s gaze was directed, He Qianqian pped him lightly on the head while scolding, "What are you thinking? No, choose something else!" "What''s the big deal? It''s not like I haven''t seen it before!" Lin Tian pouted, rubbing his head, muttering under his breath. Hearing this, He Qianqian was shocked and stared intently at Lin Tian, "What are you saying, what have you seen?" "Actually, I''ve already seen it there!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, his smile turning somewhat sly. "Impossible!" He Qianqian was incredulous. But despite her disbelief, He Qianqian''s eyes darted around as she tried to recall if she had ever given Lin Tian such an opportunity. But there was none! Seeing how flustered He Qianqian was, Lin Tian leaned in close, whispering in her ear with a warm breath, "You have a ck mole up there, very sexy!" "..." He Qianqian instantly tensed up, eyes wide with shock! After a while, He Qianqian turned and looked incredulously at Lin Tian. How, how did he know? How did he know she had a mole there? Impossible! It couldn''t be possible for him to know. He Qianqian stared nkly at Lin Tian for quite a while before she asked in a cold voice, "How did you know?" "When you were putting on your swimsuit earlier, you didn''t wear it properly, I saw it from underwater!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, still grinning. What? He Qianqian was startled, quickly reaching down to check with her hand! Intact!N?v(el)B\\jnn No! She had worn her swimsuit perfectly, wrapped up tight! He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian, her eyes wide in disbelief. Seeing the look in He Qianqian''s eyes, Lin Tian could only surrender, with a tone of resignation, he said, "Alright, alright, I was actually just tricking you, I didn''t see anything, I was guessing!" Guessing? He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, puzzled. How could a guess be so urate? But if it wasn''t a guess, how did he know? Seeing the confused look on He Qianqian''s face, Lin Tian moved closer, chuckling, while his hand under the water secretly reached for He Qianqian''s thigh: Find your next read on empire "Judging by your shocked expression just now, it seems I guessed correctly! Teacher, who would have thought you had a mole there. I''ve read in books that people with moles there tend to have strong ''Vitality''!" "What are you talking about, I warn you, I..." He Qianqian''s voice suddenly stopped as her eyes widened. While she was speaking, Lin Tian''s hand under the water had stealthily reached for her. "What are you doing?" After a moment of shock, He Qianqian snapped out of it, trying to dodge away, but Lin Tian caught her and after giving her a firm rub, he finally let go. Looking at the furious and blushing He Qianqian, Lin Tian stuck out his tongue, somewhat sheepishly saying, "You agreed to the bet!" He Qianqian took a deep breath, her face a picture of resignation. She wanted to scold Lin Tian, but found it difficult to start. If it were anyone else, she would have screamed by now, but this man was Lin Tian. Despite not wanting anything more to develop with Lin Tian, she couldn''t deny that she did like him a bit. Facing the person she liked, she couldn''t bring herself to utter those scolding words. "Ah, this little nemesis!" He Qianqian sighed inwardly, looking at the somewhat apprehensive Lin Tian, she said helplessly, "Let it go this time, but don''t you dare do this again." "Not angry anymore?" Hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian was delighted. "Phew!" He Qianqian, with a flushed face, red hard at Lin Tian and, with a kick of her legs, swam quickly away to somewhere else. Watching He Qianqian swim away like a mermaid, Lin Tian''s lips curled into a slight smile, knowing that their rtionship had taken a step further. A woman''s hardest moment is the first time, and once that has passed, everything else bes easier, just like kissing someone for the first time in a romance. The first kiss is difficult, but once it happens, the following kissese much more easily. Lin Tian had seeded today, and it would be much easier for him in the future. Of course, Lin Tian''s actions today were somewhat forceful, but as long as the other person liked him, a littlepulsion might actually hasten the development of their rtionship, as long as it was not off-putting. Clearly, although He Qianqian was a bit upset, she wasn''t to the point of disgust. This was also because Lin Tian''s advances were not too aggressive. "Someday, you''ll be my real woman!" Lin Tian murmured with a faint smile, watching He Qianqian swim in the distance. He looked quietly at the distant He Qianqian, and suddenly, the smile on Lin Tian''s face slowly turned cold. With a stony expression, Lin Tian kicked off and quickly swam towards He Qianqian using the doggy paddle. Chapter 45 You Wont Die If You Dont Seek Death "Huff, huff!" After leaving Lin Tian, He Qianqian swam quickly, not stopping until she felt a distance between her and Lin Tian. At this moment, He Qianqian''s fair face was still slightly flushed, feeling a tad warm. He Qianqian reached out to touch her cheek, feeling a bit of a burning sensation. She bit her lip lightly, a flicker of annoyance and shyness in her eyes, "That kid!" The thought of that hand underwater made her heart race. She was annoyed by Lin Tian''s behavior just now. However, for some reason, she had felt a certain response below. At this thought, He Qianqian felt a wave of embarrassment. She quickly shook her head, took a deep breath, and swam forward again. Not far from He Qianqian, she did not notice two young men, about one meter eighty tall, with tattoos on their arms, staring fixedly at her swimming. "Old Dog, this woman is nice! Top-notch!" said the slightly fatter one next to him, eyes gleaming lecherously as he watched He Qianqian. "Indeed, she''s very fresh, very clean, much better than the girls we had fun with yesterday!" "What do you mean ''much better''? She blows them out of the water!" "Shall we go over and chat with this beauty?" Old Dog asked Pig Head with a smile. "Of course!" Pig Head raised his eyebrows and replied with a grin. Then, the two of them headed straight for He Qianqian. "Huff!" He Qianqian surfaced, wiped the water off her face, and took a deep breath. Opening her eyes that had been obscured by water, He Qianqian was somewhat surprised to find two burly young men beside her unexpectedly. Seeing the tattoos on their arms, He Qianqian subconsciously ssified these two as bad news. And the following statements from the two men confirmed He Qianqian''s suspicions. Seeing He Qianqian surface, Pig Head looked at her pretty face with a grin, "Beauty, nice skills!" Giving the two men a sweep with her eyes, He Qianqian ignored them. Her usual approach to such people was to avoid and ignore them. So, He Qianqian turned around, intending to leave. But as soon as she turned, she came to a halt; another person was blocking her path ahead. Old Dog stood in He Qianqian''s way with a chuckle, "Beauty, don''t be in such a hurry to leave. We mean no harm; we just want to make friends." "Yeah, just making friends. Don''t be so cruel!" said Pig Head with a grin, his gaze repeatedly wandering over He Qianqian''s submerged body, his lewd look not even slightly concealed. He Qianqian, with a cold face and expressionless, said, "No need, I have something else to do. If I have time, we can chat another time." With that, He Qianqian turned towards another direction, nning to leave. But she was quickly blocked again. With a roguish smile on his face, Pig Head looked at He Qianqian, "Why wait for next time? Might as well seize the day. It''s just a chat!" It seemed that the two men were determined not to let her leave. He Qianqian was nervous inside and instinctively looked in Lin Tian''s direction. At this moment, the first person He Qianqian thought of was Lin Tian. "What''s wrong?" Just as He Qianqian looked up, a familiar voice came from behind her. Hearing this voice brought joy to He Qianqian, and the tension in her heart was immediately relieved. ``` "What''s the matter?" Lin Tian quickly came to He Qianqian''s side, giving the two men beside her a cold nce. Even though both of these men were about 1.8 meters tall with bulging muscles on their arms, and tattoos inked on them, obviously not the sort to be tangled with lightly, Lin Tian was not the least bit intimidated by them. If they dared to get cocky, Lin Tian wouldn''t mind teaching them why flowers are so red! Seeing Lin Tian approaching, He Qianqian felt much more relieved, well aware of Lin Tian''s capabilities. However, He Qianqian didn''t want to stir up trouble and shook her head at Lin Tian, "It''s nothing, let''s go." Saying that, He Qianqian turned around and prepared to leave. Lin Tian gave the two men a cool look and, without a word, turned to leave as well. After all, there hadn''t been any actual conflict, and Lin Tian wasn''t the type to start fights with everyone he saw. In Lin Tian''s view, he had let the two men off easy, but Lao Zhu and Lao Gou didn''t see it that way. At first, they were taken aback when a man approached them, but their concern disappeared when they saw it was just a kid. Especially when they saw the kid looking at them with a warning look, it made them even more annoyed. Warning? Did this little brat think he could warn them? So, when He Qianqian and Lin Tian were walking away, Lao Zhu cursed from behind, "Hey kid, what''s with that look? What, you think you''re better than me?" Hearing this curse, Lin Tian paused and his expression turned extremely ugly. "Don''t mind him!" Noticing Lin Tian''s reaction, He Qianqian grabbed his arm and shook her head. She really didn''t want Lin Tian to cause trouble. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian ignored it and prepared to leave with He Qianqian. But after just a few steps, the cursing behind them grew more intense and louder: "Damn it, kid, watch yourself next time or I''ll break your damn legs!" Lao Zhu''s voice was loud, and the sudden outburst of cursing made the whole swimming pool go silent, with everyone turning their gazes towards them. Fearing that Lin Tian would rush over and start a fight, He Qianqian held onto his arm tightly, blocking his path forward. Lin Tian''s face turned iron-blue as he followed He Qianqian forward. To Lao Zhu and Lao Gou, Lin Tian''sck of retaliation was seen as cowardice, especially under the gaze of the entire pool, making their cursing even more intense and vulgar: "Little brat, have you grown a dick yet? If you dare re at me again, I''ll gouge out your eyes!" "Kid, just get lost. If I get annoyed, you''ll be licking my xx!" Lao Gou taunted from behind. Lin Tian stopped in his tracks, his face an iron-blue, head slightly lowered, muttering to himself, "You don''t die till you try to." Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flickering within. With a small flick of his hand, Lin Tian shook off He Qianqian''s grip on his arm and turned around with a cold face, heading towards the two men at a brisk pace. "Lin Tian, where are you going? Come back!" He Qianqian called anxiously.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Lin Tian''s face was cold, and without a word, he quickened his pace towards the two men. "You don''t die till you try to," he said again. Lin Tian''s cold gaze fixed on the jeering men, as he quickly strode forward. At that moment, the water in the swimming pool reached his neck and the strong resistance made it nearly impossible for a normal person to move quickly. ``` But under Lin Tian''s formidable strength, the resistance of the water seemed nonexistent. With the powerful movement of Lin Tian''s legs, the water beneath was forcibly parted. Seeing Lin Tian charging angrily towards them, Lao Zhu and his partner were not afraid but rather somewhat excited. This kid dares toe over, great, I''ve been itching for a fight. In their opinion, Lin Tian was just asking for a beating. Not to mention their years of fighting experience, let''s talk about size; both of them stood at 1.8 meters, while Lin Tian was only 1.7 meters tall¡ªaplete mismatch. Moreover, it was two against one on their side. No matter how you looked at it, Lin Tian was sure to be beaten without any suspense! Not only did Lao Zhu and his partner think so, but others at the pool also believed Lin Tian was bound to suffer. Some of the older spectators even thought Lin Tian was too impulsive. However, the scene that ensued took everyone by surprise. Lin Tian quickly approached them, and as he did, a sneer surfaced on Lao Zhu''s face: "Kid, are youing over to kneel and lick my xx?" "Lick your mother''s x!" Lin Tian red with narrowed eyes, and suddenly reached out his hand to grab at Lao Zhu''s head¡ªthen ruthlessly pressed down! Ssh! Lao Zhu''s head was forcibly pushed down by Lin Tian''s single hand! Down into the water! Seeing this, Lao Gou beside him was stunned. But before he could react, a strong hand suddenly grabbed his hair and an irresistible force came from above! He was ruthlessly pressed down! Ssh! Lao Gou''s head was also forcibly pushed under the water by Lin Tian! Lin Tian, with a cold face, grabbed one head in each hand and ruthlessly submerged them in the water! Bubble bubble! The water in the swimming pool started churning violently as the two struggled desperately below! Lin Tian''s face remained cold, his muscles taut, while the two frantically wed at his arms. He pressed down hard! It took a full twenty seconds before Lin Tian let their headse up! "Huff huff!" Once above water, both gasped for air, looking utterly disheveled! But before they could catch their breath for a few seconds, an overwhelming force once again came from above their heads! Pressed down hard! Lin Tian, mercilessly, pushed their heads back under the water again! "Lin Tian, stop it!" He Qianqian finally got there, looking anxiously at Lin Tian. Lin Tian, with a cold face, didn''t say a word, his hands still pressing down hard, showing no mercy! If they don''t want to save face, then feel my wrath! Lin Tian was furious! Twenty secondster, Lin Tian pulled both up by the hair once more! "Huff huff!" They greedily gasped for air, but within two seconds, another overpowering force bore down on their heads! Forcibly! Their heads were pushed under by Lin Tian yet again! Silence! Silence! The scene wentpletely silent! The vast swimming pool quieted down! Everyone watched, dumbfounded, at this violent spectacle! After pressing them down and pulling them up four or five times, Lin Tian finally let them go. When Lin Tian released them, they were nearly powerless, their faces pale and bloodless, their eyes bulging slightly outward. "Huff huff!" They greedily gasped for big breaths, and it took a full thirty seconds for them to recover their strength. Once they got their breath back, Lao Zhu red at Lin Tian, gasping angrily, "Kid..." "What?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, cutting off Lao Zhu''s words. Seeing Lin Tian''s stern face, Lao Zhu wisely shut his mouth. He was genuinely scared. Seeing that the two had smartly closed their mouths, Lin Tian scoffed coldly and barked, "Get lost!" Lao Zhu and his partner red at Lin Tian with resentment. Despite wanting to tear Lin Tian apart, they didn''t dare to say anything. They dragged their weary bodies away obediently. Watching them leave obediently, Lin Tian sneered disdainfully. "Lin Tian, you were a bit impulsive," He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with some concern. She wasn''t worried about Lin Tian getting hurt, but she was worried about his impulsive nature that could lead him into trouble in the future. "I know, but there''s a limit to what one can endure," Lin Tian replied, aware that He Qianqian meant well. In the past, Lin Tian would have swallowed his pride since there''s no benefit to being a hot-headed hero. However, now there was no need for him to tolerate such behavior. With the Supernatural Ability System, he might not be invincible, but he certainly didn''t consider a few hoodlums worthy of his concern. If he had to tolerate even this small irritation with the Supernatural Ability System, then what''s the point? Seeing that Lin Tian showed no sign of reflection, He Qianqian shook her head and then said, "Let''s go quickly. I don''t think they''re good people. If they bring others and block our way, that would be troublesome." "Yeah, let''s go." Lin Tian agreed with this suggestion. Although he wasn''t afraid of these people, fighting was always bad. Let''s not talk about his mother''s nagging; it would be no good if some of the girls got hurt. Relieved to see Lin Tian agreeing, He Qianqian felt some relief. At least Lin Tian didn''t have the arrogance of thinking he was the best in the world. Lin Tian still had rationality. "Okay, we''ll tell Mengting and the others to stop ying and go back," He Qianqian said, as she looked around and found Bu Mengting, then immediately walked towards her direction. And at this time, Bu Mengting and the others were also walking towards Lin Tian''s group. Chapter 46 Disaster Having located Bu Mengting and the others, Lin Tian and He Qianqian walked toward them. A few minutester, the two of them met up with Bu Mengting and her group. ncing at the somewhat nervous girls, He Qianqian spoke up, "Let''s head back; I''m afraid they''ll bring reinforcements for revenge." The girls naturally had no objections to He Qianqian''s suggestion. To be honest, they were still quite nervous. After all, not everyone could remain calm after the scene that had just unfolded. As they were leaving the swimming pool, Lin Tian noticed some of the girls were stealthily ncing at him. Their looks were a mix of curiosity and fear. The fierce outburst Lin Tian had just disyed took them all by surprise. They couldn''t imagine the usually amiable Lin Tian could be so violent. After scanning the girls, Lin Tian didn''t mind and continued to leave the pool with them toward the changing rooms of the swimming center, ready to change and leave. Arriving at the corridor, Lin Tian parted ways with the girls as the changing rooms were in different directions. Just as Lin Tian was about to enter his room, a staff member of the swimming center looked around cautiously before approaching him. Lin Tian stopped walking and curiously turned to look at him. After checking his surroundings again and making sure no one was around, Wang Hong quietly came up to Lin Tian and whispered, "You should leave quickly; those guys are all hoodlums, and they''ve certainly called for reinforcements now!" Lin Tian looked at him somewhat surprised, then nodded and whispered a thankful word. After speaking with Lin Tian, Wang Hong checked anxiously around onest time before hurriedly leaving. The reason Wang Hong came to warn Lin Tian was that he never liked those men who harassed girls at the swimming center every day. Since Wang Hong couldn''t antagonize them, he was naturally happy to see someone teaching them a lesson today. ording to Wang Hong, if Lin Tian didn''t leave quickly, he would definitely be at a disadvantage when they brought reinforcements. Lin Tian didn''t know about Wang Hong''s worries, but even so, he changed his clothes quickly, needing just a minute. After changing, Lin Tian went to the front desk, reimed the deposit for his locker key, and then strolled leisurely toward the women''s changing room corridor. Lin Tian looked very calm, not nervous at all, his steps unhurried. Although he didn''t want to stir up trouble, he wasn''t panicked by those people. In Lin Tian''s view, keeping out of their way was already quite amodating. Unaware of Lin Tian''s confidence, Wang Hong shook his head disbelievingly as he watched Lin Tian''s carefree manner. Still so leisurely at a time like this? Was he not afraid of being beaten? Wang Hong was truly speechless about Lin Tian. Lin Tian walked unhurriedly to the women''s changing room corridor. Possibly worried about retaliation, the girls changed very quickly. Just as Lin Tian arrived at the corridor, several girls came out of their rooms. Most of their hair was still wet, too rushed to use a hairdryer. As he nced at the girls'' wet hair, Lin Tian suggested, "How about you dry your hair first?" Tossing her somewhat damp hair, He Qianqian shook her head, "Let''s go; we''ll take care of it back home!" Hearing He Qianqian''s words, the other girls nodded repeatedly. Clearly, they shared He Qianqian''s view. Seeing that the girls didn''t care, Lin Tian didn''t insist and nodded, "Okay, let''s go." As Lin Tian and his group were leaving the swimming center, everyone in the center''s lobby turned their eyes toward them. They were all aware of what had happened in the swimming center. Once outside the swimming center, Lin Tian looked around and then asked, "Are we taking the bus or a taxi?" "Let''s take a taxi. I..." He Qianqian hadn''t finished her sentence when suddenly a series of rapid screeching sounds interrupted her. "Shhh~!" A series of abrupt screeching sounds drew everyone''s attention.N?v(el)B\\jnn Two ck Santanas and four or five motorcycles violently stopped at the entrance to the swimming center, blocking Lin Tian and his group''s path. Whoosh whoosh~! A bunch of people mored down from the motorcycles and cars. "It''s that guy, brothers, get him!" Old Pig stared venomously at Lin Tian. Seeing this crowd, Lin Tian chuckled bitterly, realizing he couldn''t avoid a fight today. In the instant the group charged him, Lin Tian burst forward, choosing to meet them head-on. Seeing a crowd descend all at once outside, Wang Hong, who had been watching Lin Tian, tightened up, then internally started to rant, "Kid, I told you to be quick, and you weren''t. You were taking your sweet time, and now look at the mess you''re in!" Wang Hongined internally, feeling Lin Tian did not see him as worth heeding and predicted Lin Tian would suffer a harsh beating. Yet, what transpired nextpletely defied Wang Hong''s expectations. Wang Hong stared dumbfounded at the scene unfolding outside the swimming center, disbelief on his face. Not just Wang Hong, everyone in the swimming center''s lobby was also shocked at the scene outside. How could this be? This was the thought on everyone''s mind. Looking at the scene outside, everyone inside the swimming pool couldn''t believe their eyes, feeling somewhat dazed. Wang Hong stared nkly outside, hardly believing what he was seeing. At first, when those people had surrounded Lin Tianyi and hispany, Wang Hong thought Lin Tian was definitely going to be beaten up this time. It was inevitable since the other side had more than a dozen people, some even wielding clubs, while Lin Tian was the only man on his side, and he was unarmed. Lin Tian was definitely going to get hammered! But the next scene made Wang Hong''s eyes nearly pop out of his head. As those people charged at Lin Tian, he charged at them instead. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep! It wasn''t Lin Tian who got beaten up, but Lin Tian who was doing the beating! Lin Tian was thrashing ten people! Fast! The first impression Lin Tian gave Wang Hong was speed, he was too fast! Wang Hong even felt like Lin Tian''s movements were creating blurs. Lin Tian was so quick that, despite therge number of opponents, not many attacks actuallynded on him. Strong! Next, Wang Hong felt that Lin Tian''s strength was overwhelming! Every time Lin Tian threw a punch or kicked, someone would definitely fly out. It could be said that each of Lin Tian''s punches and kicks could disable one person''s ability to attack. Thrashing! Overpowering! Because of Lin Tian''s incredible speed and strength, it ended up being Lin Tian alone overpowering a dozen others! Ten seconds! Even in less than ten seconds, the group that was originally fuming was all lying on the ground groaning constantly! None of them were standing anymore! Quiet! Everyone was just staring nkly at Lin Tian. Observing the people lying on the ground who couldn''t get up, Lin Tian shook his head and chuckled bitterly. Actually, Lin Tian didn''t want to get involved like this since it had caused quite a scene. If the police got involved, it would be troublesome. Lin Tian didn''t want to end up in the police station again as his mother definitely wouldn''t let him off easily. ncing at those who couldn''t get up, Lin Tian looked up at the somewhat dazed He Qianqian and others and said, "Let''s hurry up and leave!" "Huh?" He Qianqian and the others were stunned for a moment, snapping back to reality after hearing Lin Tian''s words. The frantic scene just now not only stunned the people inside the swimming pool but also left He Qianqian and others, except for Bu Mengting,pletely astonished. He Qianqian realized that over the course of just one month, Lin Tian''s strength seemed to have massively increased from what it had been in the park. "Let''s go." After giving He Qianqian and the others who were still a bit dazed another look, Lin Tian urged them. "Oh? Oh! Then, let''s go!" He Qianqian understood what Lin Tian meant and quickly agreed once she came back to her senses. "Beep beep¡­" However, just as they were about to leave, suddenly a police car with its siren ring swiftly drove up. Screech~! A sharp brake sound echoed. Seeing the police exit the car, Lin Tian was at a loss for words; were the police in China this quick to respond now? What made Lin Tian even more speechless was that the arriving officer was someone he knew. Chen Yixuan! After getting out of the car, Chen Yixuan was shocked to see people copsed all over the ground, and after a brief scan, she spotted Lin Tian nearby with a resigned expression on his face. Seeing Lin Tian, a realization shed through Chen Yixuan''s mind: "If it''s this guy, that''s normal." "Hmph! Fighting again! It won''t be so easy to let you go this time!" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian with a frosty gaze. Noticing Chen Yixuan''s icy look, Lin Tian gave a bitter smile. This is bad! Chapter 47 Being Despised An hourter, in the interrogation room of the police station, Chen Yixuan knocked vigorously on the table and measured Lin Tian up and down with a yful gaze, "Tell me, what''s the situation this time!" "Officer, it really wasn''t my fault, those guys insisted on causing trouble!" Lin Tian sat in the chair, looking innocently at Chen Yixuan. This time, his hands hadn''t been cuffed. "Have some respect, what''s with the casual address, call me Officer!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Bin sitting beside Chen Yixuan mmed the table and red at Lin Tian with dissatisfaction. Chen Yixuan was the goddess of the single men in the police station, and the way Lin Tian looked at and behaved towards Chen Yixuan made him very ufortable. Lin Tian nced at Wang Bin, guessed what was going on, and pursed his lips without saying anything. "Others looking for you? I think it''s the other way around! Who was it that rushed over and pressed someone under water? Quite bold of you!" Chen Yixuan ignored Wang Bin''s outburst and continued to stare icily at Lin Tian. Before interrogating Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan had already gotten a preliminary understanding of the incident. Lin Tian curled his lips in disdain, "It''s because they were mouthing off too much!" "Well, if you maintain that attitude, get ready to be locked up for a few days!" Seeing Lin Tian showing no signs of remorse, Chen Yixuan looked at him with a coldugh. "Ah? No, can''t I just admit my mistake and that''ll be the end of it?" The moment Lin Tian heard he might be locked up for a few days, he was startled and quickly protested. This time, since he had thrown the first punch and the other party might indeed find a reason to lock him up for a few days, he was worried. Just as Chen Yixuan was about to say something, the door to the interrogation room suddenly opened, and a young police officer with a solemn face pushed open the door. "Sister Chen..." The police officer opened the door, scanned Chen Yixuan, and seemed hesitant to speak. Seeing the officer''s solemn expression, Chen Yixuan''s heart sank and, paying no further attention to Lin Tian, she quickly got up and walked over. She left the room with the police officer, making sure to close the interrogation room door behind her. Noticing Chen Yixuan''s expression, a hint of curiosity shed in Lin Tian''s eyes as he then began to focus his attention, listening carefully. Ever since gaining the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian''s hearing had improved significantly. Although the door was closed, the conversation from outside was faintly audible to him. "Sister Chen, another female body was found in the east side of the city!" "What?" "Judging by the method, there''s an eighty percent chance it''s the same person as the case from a week ago!" Taking a deep breath, Chen Yixuan nodded solemnly, "Alright, I got it. I''ll go to the scene immediately. You go ahead!" Saying this, Chen Yixuan turned and once again, pushed open the interrogation room door. As Chen Yixuan re-entered, Lin Tian noticed her face had be very serious, and her entire demeanor was cold. With a brief sweep of his gaze andbining it with the earlier conversation, Lin Tian guessed that Chen Yixuan must be dealing with a tricky case. A murder in Wu''an City a week ago? I hadn''t heard about it? Confusion flickered through Lin Tian''s eyes. After re-entering the interrogation room, Chen Yixuan nced at Lin Tian, then turned to Wang Bin and said, "Alright, let him go." "Huh?" Hearing Chen Yixuan''s words, Wang Bin was startled. Hadn''t she said she would properly teach the other party a lesson just a moment ago? Why was she letting him go so easily now? "Just let it be!" After giving Wang Bin a look, Chen Yixuan walked over to the desk to organize the files. Now, Chen Yixuan was in no mood to pay attention to Lin Tian. Compared to that case, Lin Tian''s issues didn''t even amount to sesame seeds.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om It was just a in fight, and nobody was injured. Since the other party didn''t use a knife, and Lin Tian had restrained his strength while beating them, all of them were knocked down by him, but in reality, they only suffered from superficial wounds. Even without that case, Chen Yixuan had only nned to intimidate Lin Tian. Now with that distressing matter in mind, Chen Yixuan had no desire to deal with Lin Tian. While Chen Yixuan was arranging the files, the door to the interrogation room opened once more, and a policeman nced in before beckoning to Wang Bin, "Wang Bin,e out for a minute." Seconds after Wang Bin left, Chen Yixuan had also finished arranging the files, holding the files in her hands, she gave Lin Tian an expressionless nce, "Alright, you can leave. If I catch you again, prepare to spend a few days in jail!" With that, Chen Yixuan turned and left. Just as Chen Yixuan turned, a synthesized electronic voice suddenly resounded in Lin Tian''s mind, "Task: Help Chen Yixuan catch the rapist-murderer. Task Reward: Two Supernatural Points." The sudden voice in his head startled Lin Tian. A task at this moment? Snapping back to reality and seeing Chen Yixuan about to open the door and leave, Lin Tian quickly stood up and called out, "Chen Yixuan!" Chen Yixuan paused, turned back with a puzzled look, and asked Lin Tian, "How do you know my name?" "Heh heh, I have good hearing, I overheard it," Lin Tian chuckled. Frowning at Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan replied with a cold face, "Don''t call me by my name, just go." Lin Tian didn''t pick up on Chen Yixuan''s words but instead said, "I heard there''s a murderer on the loose outside?" "How did you know that?" Chen Yixuan''s gaze sharpened and her expression turned solemn instantly. The news of the murderer hadn''t been released yet, so how could he know? Noticing Chen Yixuan''s reaction and realizing she might have misunderstood, Lin Tian quickly exined, "I have good hearing, I heard it when you were talking to the other officer outside." Upon hearing Lin Tian''s exnation, Chen Yixuan''s expression somewhat rxed, relieved that the news was going to be released anyway and it could no longer be suppressed. As long as Lin Tian didn''t know from other sources, it was somewhat better. Chapter 48 Is it him? Lin Tian turned his head and just then noticed Chen Yixuaning out from inside. "Is the meeting over?" Lin Tian muttered to himself. "Lin Tian, what are you doing here?" After speaking to a colleague who came out with her, Chen Yixuan walked over to Lin Tian alone. "Just taking a walk!" Lin Tian replied offhandedly. "Just walking around?" Chen Yixuan frowned as she sized up Lin Tian, her face stern as she lectured, "What are you doing out sote? Hurry home and stop wandering around all day!"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om In Chen Yixuan''s view, Lin Tian was just a youngster; seeing him out sote, she naturally felt the need to scold him. Chen Yixuan treated Lin Tian like a child, but Lin Tian certainly didn''t think so, and he was quite unhappy with Chen Yixuan''s scolding. ncing at Chen Yixuan with a bit of annoyance, Lin Tian retorted, "Who are you, my mother?" "You!" Annoyed by Lin Tian''s dismissive attitude, Chen Yixuan frowned and waited for Lin Tian''s response, "What, itching for a fight again, want to go back in?" "Pfft!" Lin Tian sneered, but didn''t say anything as he was genuinely afraid of Chen Yixuan''s fury¡ªin case she would report his daytime fight to his own mother. Seeing Lin Tian back down, Chen Yixuan nodded in satisfaction, then waved him off casually, "Get home quickly, and don''t roam around aimlessly!" "I wasn''t roaming aimlessly!" Lin Tian grumbled. "Then what were you doing?" Chen Yixuan nced at Lin Tian. "I was helping you catch criminals, didn''t I tell you during the day?" Lin Tian said as if it were obvious. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Chen Yixuan was speechless. She looked him up and down, half-smiling as she said, "Please, just stay where you''re cool, okay? Go home!" Having said that, Chen Yixuan shook her head, no longer bothering with Lin Tian, and turned to leave. Seeing Chen Yixuan turning away, Lin Tian spoke up, "What if I can help you?" Chen Yixuan stopped, turned and looked Lin Tian up and down, "You? Yeah right!" "Don''t believe me?" Chen Yixuan red. Shock! Astonishment! Chen Yixuan was stunned. Lin Tian''s speed was too fast; he suddenly moved closer, suddenly spoke, and even more suddenly, he made a grab. The whole process took only a few seconds! By the time Chen Yixuan realized what had happened, Lin Tian had already finished everything. After a stunned second, Chen Yixuan red angrily, her face flushing with rage. But at that moment, Lin Tian suddenly chuckled, turning and quickly moving away before Chen Yixuan could explode in anger. Lin Tian was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye he was out of Chen Yixuan''s sight. Watching Lin Tian sprint away, Chen Yixuan''s face turned from pale to flush, her heavy breathing clearly indicating her extreme fury! Teasing! She had actually been teased by this boy! Rage! Chen Yixuan felt a flush of anger and embarrassment! "Don''t let me catch you!" Chen Yixuan red fiercely at the quickly disappearing figure of Lin Tian. "Ha ha..." Lin Tian chuckled to himself as he quickly made his escape. "Acting all high and mighty, the boss won''t teach you who''s boss unless she has to!" Lin Tian thought somewhat smugly. Chen Yixuan''s lecturing attitude earlier had irritated Lin Tian, prompting his earlier actions. After running a distance and ensuring that Chen Yixuan wouldn''t chase after him, Lin Tian finally stopped, hailed a taxi, and prepared to head home. At half past eleven the next evening, Lin Tian arrived in the old town sector of the eastern part of the city. He hade here based on the discussion at the police meeting yesterday. Thinking of this, Lin Tian looked towards a fruit shop not far away. In that fruit shop, two men were casually browsing. Upon close observation, one could see that both men were wearing a Bluetooth headset in their ears. inclothes! Lin Tian naturally recognized these two; he had seen them at the meeting yesterday. Lin Tian nced briefly, then his gaze shifted towards a narrow alley on the other side. Lin Tian smacked his lips and muttered, "Chen Yixuan does look quite feminine!" Saying this, Lin Tian chuckled and followed. At this moment, Lin Tian was invisible, not seen by anyone around. The reason why Chen Yixuan was dressed like this was naturally as a decoy. Following yesterday''s police discussion, they thought of a less-than-ideal solution, which was to use a girl as bait. Initially, there was a proposal for a man to dress as a woman. But since it had been tried before and did not work, they decided to use a real girl this time. And it was Chen Yixuan who had volunteered to be the bait. At half past eleven at night, the old district was quite dark, especially since the area was underdeveloped and many ces were very shadowy. Some spots evencked street lights, not to mention cameras. Now Chen Yixuan was walking down a dark alleypletely devoid of street lights and cameras. The entire alley appeared quite sinister. Normally, at night, unless there was an emergency, girls would not choose this route. Of course, Lin Tian knew that if anything were to happen, the police hiding nearby would swarm over in just a dozen seconds. Lin Tian followed slowly, still unseen. Actually, Lin Tian was doubtful about whether the criminal would be foolish enough to show up, wondering if this method was really viable. Of course, this thought just circled in Lin Tian''s mind and then vanished. The police were not fools; surely, they had proposed this ambush because they saw some practicality in it. As for the specific reasons, Lin Tian didn''t wish to delve deeper; he didn''t want to waste his brain cells, all he had to do was follow behind the police and then make his move when necessary. Chapter 49 I Saved You "Is it him?" Seeing Lin Tian, not only was Chen Yixuan stunned, but the police officers who recognized Lin Tian were also stunned. It could be said that most of the people here knew Lin Tian, after all, a man who had knocked down more than a dozen knife-wielding thugs bare-handed was simply a miracle. And Lin Tian''s heroic deeds had already spread throughout the police station, so naturally, many people recognized him. Being kicked fiercely and sent flying, Wang Zhong was utterly dumbstruck. He had not expected someone to be at the entrance of the alley, and he hadn''t felt a thing! Lin Tian''s kick was full of hatred, and even now Wang Zhong was still feeling a writhing pain in his abdomen. Feeling the pain in his body, Wang Zhong''s eyes narrowed, and his gaze towards Lin Tian flickered with a glint of cold light, "A master!" Anyone who could injure him with a single kick was definitely a master! With that thought in mind, Wang Zhong turned his head to look to the side. The pistol was lying two meters away. When Lin Tian had kicked him earlier, he also took the opportunity to flick at Wang Zhong''s arm, sending the pistol flying from his grasp. Staring at the pistol two meters away, Wang Zhong leapt up and pounced toward it! "Crack!" Suddenly, a foot appeared viciously stepping on the pistol and then twisted! "Crack!" Shattered! With one stomp, Lin Tianpletely smashed the pistol to pieces! Wang Zhong''s eyes narrowed, and he swept a leg over! Lin Tian instinctively dodged with a step of his foot! Thwack!n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Even though Lin Tian had evaded, his foot had still been grazed by Wang Zhong''s sweep. The force transmitted from his calf made Lin Tian startle. Such tremendous power! This was the greatest strength Lin Tian had encountered among all the people he had met. Lin Tian was somewhat startled, and Wang Zhong was even more astonished, even a bit shocked. When his sweeping kick had gone through, he felt as if he had struck stone, such was the hardness of the muscles in Lin Tian''s foot. Giving Lin Tian a fierce re, Wang Zhong quickly got up and sprinted towards the entrance of the alley! Escape! Just from that single strike, Wang Zhong knew Lin Tian was not someone to be dismissed lightly, and with the police nearby, staying here was a death sentence! Seeing Wang Zhong running away without hesitation, Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled, tensed the muscles in his legs, and pushed off fiercely! Zoom! Lin Tian swiftly pounced forward! Wang Zhong was fast, butpared to Lin Tian going all out, he was essentially nothing! "Whoosh!" Hearing the sound of something cutting through the air behind his head, Wang Zhong was startled! Fast! Such an incredibly fast speed! He wanted to dodge, but his body''s reaction couldn''t keep up with the speed of his thoughts. Just as he thought to dodge, a sudden intense pain erupted in his back, apanied by the sound of a "crack." The spine was broken! Lin Tian had punched Wang Zhong''s spine so hard it broke, instantly paralyzing Wang Zhong''s lower body. Thud! Carrying strong inertia, Wang Zhong''s body harshly fell to the ground. The force was so great it even scraped his face. "Rustle, rustle!" At that moment, the police finally reacted and all rushed over. Even though Wang Zhongy immobilized on the ground, the officers still aimed their guns at him, looking as if they were facing a formidable foe. After ncing at these tense police officers, Lin Tian spoke indifferently, "Don''t worry, I''ve broken his spine, and he doesn''t have a gun anymore." "The spine is broken?" Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. After a moment of surprise, but still not letting their guard down, some officers immediately handcuffed Wang Zhong''s hands behind his back. After all, even with a broken spine, his hands could still possibly function. After handcuffing Wang Zhong, the officers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and tried to pull Wang Zhong up. But with a broken spine and no feeling in his lower limbs, Wang Zhong couldn''t exert any strength and was unable to stand. "That''s enough, let him lie there for now," said a squad leader after ncing at Wang Zhong. Feeling that Wang Zhong was no longer a threat, Lin Tian swept him another nce and then turned to walk towards Chen Yixuan, who wasn''t far off. At that time, Chen Yixuan was being supported by her colleagues, sitting and resting in the corner. When Lin Tian got in front of Chen Yixuan and saw she wasn''t seriously injured, he squatted down, looked at her with a grin, and said, "Beauty, I saved you today!" Chen Yixuan was leaning against the wall, panting slightly with her mouth, and she gazed somewhat dazedly at the grinning boy beside her. Chen Yixuan felt very stunned. She couldn''t have imagined that Lin Tian would show up at this time and actually save her. It was like a dream! Watching Chen Yixuan staring dumbfounded at him, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and said with a teasing smile, "What? Beauty, are you so dazzled by my handsomeness that you can''t take your eyes off me?" Hearing the familiar tone, Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes, speechless. "I saved you today, so we''re even for what happened yesterday!" Lin Tian said to Chen Yixuan with a serious face. When Chen Yixuan heard Lin Tian''s words, she immediately thought of the scene fromst night, the hand grabbing her butt. As she recalled this, a sh of anger crossed Chen Yixuan''s face as she retorted indignantly, "In your dreams!" "Oh?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, scanning Chen Yixuan. "Is it really worth getting so worked up over? It''s not like I grabbed your chest; it was just your butt!" Lin Tian said dismissively, pursing his lips. "You!" Chen Yixuan was furious! If it weren''t for herck of strength, she would have gotten up and beaten the crap out of this brat right now. "Lin Tian?" Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, a voice came from behind him. Lin Tian stood up and turned around to see the squad leader from before. He had seen him at the police station. "I am Lin Tian," he said, giving the man a quick nod. He knew that the follow-up to the incident had arrived. "Here''s the thing, I''d like you toe to the station with meter to make a statement, just to get an understanding of the situation," the squad leader exined, afraid that Lin Tian would be opposed to the idea. "No problem!" Lin Tian nodded calmly. Ever since he knew he''d intervened, he could imagine this scene. After all, he had subdued the criminal and caused injury; surely, he couldn''t just walk away without saying a word. The police were bound to look for him to gather information. Lin Tian was already mentally prepared. "Doot doot..." Just then, sessive police siren sounds came from afar. The backup police were only now arriving, apanied by three or four ambnces. Looking at the busy scene, the squad leader said to Lin Tian, "Let''s head over there." "Alright," Lin Tian agreed. But as he turned to leave, Lin Tian looked back at Chen Yixuan and yfully pouted, his hand miming a grabbing motion in the air. He then chuckled and swiftly turned to leave before Chen Yixuan could react. When Lin Tian had turned and gone, Chen Yixuan finally realized what he''d done, and her pretty face flushed with irritation. "Damn kid, just wait until you''re in my hands!" she muttered. ** Two dayster, Lin Tian was at home, bored, flipping through a book. Lin Tian hadn''t left the house for two days. His mother, Shi Qing, had found out about what had happened the day before and was very angry that her son had recklessly fought with a criminal; she had grounded him. As for the police questioning that day, there were no problems. They asked him why he had been there, and Lin Tian simply said he happened to be passing by. Seeing the criminal, he had acted out of a sense of justice. Though he said that, whether they believed him didn''t concern Lin Tian. They couldn''t find any other evidence anyway. Besides, Lin Tian had helped them after all. And just like that, Lin Tian smoothly brushed off the police interrogation. The only thing that annoyed him was that despite his request to keep his parents unaware, they had still informed his family. "So boring..." Propping his chin with one hand and casually browsing through a math book with the other, Lin Tian felt extremely bored. He had already mastered these books and found them not challenging at all. But he couldn''t read novels either; his mother had confiscated them all, along with his phone. "Boring..." Lin Tian looked up at the window with a bored expression. "Ding dong..." Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Hearing the doorbell, Lin Tian got up and opened the bedroom door, looking toward the front door. Upon opening the door, he saw his mother had already opened it. Lin Tian nced over and saw Bu Mengtinging in, holding a set of practice exam papers. Seeing Shi Qing, Bu Mengting smiled sweetly, "Auntie, I''vee to ask Lin Tian some questions." "Oh, Mengting,e in," Shi Qing greeted her warmly. "Mhm!" Bu Mengting smiled sweetly. A few minutester, in Lin Tian''s bedroom, Lin Tian was exining a problem to Bu Mengting, "You just need to derive this part, you just didn''t think of this step." Listening to Lin Tian''s exnation, Bu Mengting nodded her head in sudden understanding. Lin Tian''s exnations had made everything clear to her. Looking at the test paper in her hands, Bu Mengting suddenly sighed softly, her expression turning somewhat gloomy. "What''s wrong?" Seeing Bu Mengting''s mood suddenly drop, Lin Tian asked curiously. Raising her head, Bu Mengting spoke with a hint of despondency, "My grades are so bad, getting into a second-tier college is already a stretch, let alone going to Wu''an University with you." "Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback at her words. Previously, Lin Tian had made a promise with Bu Mengting that they would attend the same university, aiming for Wu''an City''s Wu''an University. Wu''an University wasn''t a top university in the country, but it was considered a first-tier institution, a top-tier university. However, Bu Mengting''s grades weren''t very good, barely passing the second-tier cutoff in the mock exams. Naturally, her scores weren''t enough to get into Wu''an University. "Don''t worry, I will help you," he reassured her after a pause, smiling easily. Lin Tian was well aware of Bu Mengting''s grades, but he already had a n in mind. He wouldn''t have made that promise if he wasn''t confident he could get Bu Mengting into Wu''an University alongside himself. "How can you help me? It''s impossible!" Bu Mengting said, looking down in a dispirited manner as her feet fidgeted aimlessly, disying her frustration. "I..." Lin Tian was about to speak when suddenly a synthetic electronic voice echoed in his mind: "Task: Help Bu Mengting get epted to Wu''an University. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point." ................................. Chapter 50 Male-Female Relationships Hearing the electronic synthesized voice in his mind, Lin Tianyi was stunned. Was a mission reallying at this time? After being stunned for a while, Lin Tianyi was pleased. He was going to do this task anyway, so the arrival of the mission meant he had just picked up a Supernatural Point for free.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Having obtained this Supernatural Point, and added to the two he had gained in the previous days, Lin Tianyi now had three Supernatural Points. "Three Supernatural Points, then gather some more, and I should be able to exchange them for some better Superpowers," Lin Tian thought to himself. "What''s wrong with you?" Seeing Lin Tianyi standing there dazed, Bu Mengting asked in confusion. "Huh?" Lin Tianyi came to his senses, then a rxed smile appeared on his face. He gently patted Bu Mengting''s shoulder, adopting the demeanor of a leader teaching a junior, "Comrade Xiao Bu, don''t worry, I will help you." "You? Forget about it," Bu Mengting rolled her eyes. "What? Don''t believe me? Am I the type of person who talks big?" Lin Tianyi raised his eyebrows, somewhat displeased. "Uh..." Bu Mengting hesitated, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing. After thinking it over, Lin Tianyi really did do whatever he said he would. Not to mention his scores, his strength was also incredibly exaggerated. Ever since she had known Lin Tianyi, the events surrounding him always had a hint of the miraculous. Thinking of Lin Tianyi''s various past feats, Bu Mengting finally decided not to say anything. ** After sending Bu Mengting away, Lin Tianyi secretly took back his phone and started searching the inte. There were many ways to help Bu Mengting, but in Lin Tianyi''s view, the most convenient was to sneak a look at the test papers. As long as he knew the test papers, Lin Tianyi could pass these questions on to Bu Mengting, iming they were his own guesses. Tapping on Baidu, Lin Tianyi began searching for college entrance examination papers. After about fifteen minutes, Lin Tianyi turned off his phone, by then he already had a n in mind. College entrance exam papers, once printed, are usually escorted by armed police to the local recruitment offices and ced in "confidential exam storage rooms" two days before the exam. These exam papers are guarded 24 hours a day by public security officers and recruitment office teachers. There are surveince cameras as well. While these measures might seem stringent to others, to Lin Tianyi it seemed quite straightforward. As long as he became invisible, neither people nor cameras could detect him. He just needed to get inside and use irvoyance to memorize the papers. Lin Tianyi looked at his phone for the date: June 4. "Today is the fourth, which means the papers should be arriving tomorrow. I''ll just do some reconnaissance today," Lin Tianyi muttered as he idly tapped on the desk, deep in thought. The next afternoon, Lin Tianyi personally saw the papers, escorted by armed police, being put into the ''confidential exam storage room''. After a nce, Lin Tianyi walked over. Three hourster, Lin Tianyi returned home with a look of ease on his face. "Done!" Sitting in the back of the taxi, a rxed smile appeared on Lin Tianyi''s face. Lin Tianyi had memorized all those exam papers. irvoyance + Invisibility + Photographic Memory allowed Lin Tianyi to easily memorize the papers. "I''ll go back, write down the papers, then teach Bu Mengting the answers, iming they''re just my guessed questions!" That evening, Lin Tianyi called Bu Mengting over and began letting her work on the exam questions he had set for her. Of course, Bu Mengting didn''t know these were the actual questions for the college entrance exam this year. She thought they were just Lin Tianyi''s predicted topics. One and a half hourster, Bu Mengting had finished the math practice paper Lin Tianyi had set for her. "Done," Bu Mengting said as she rubbed her slightly sore wrists and handed over her notebook to Lin Tianyi. Lin Tianyi took it, lowered his head, and began checking. Lin Tianyi worked quickly, nearly just scanning the pages. Despite his speed, Lin Tianyi was instantly able to review the test paper Bu Mengting had done and memorized it in his mind. This was due to Lin Tianyi''s Photographic Memory ability. After scanning Bu Mengting''s test paper, Lin Tianyi stood up, moved a chair next to her, and began exining, "You see, you got this question wrong..." Bu Mengting rubbed her sore wrists while listening intently to Lin Tianyi''s exnations. An hourter, Lin Tianyi had finished exining the entire paper. "Any questions?" Lin Tianyi asked Bu Mengting. Bu Mengting thought carefully and shook her head, "No more questions." "Alright, that''s good. You go back and review again. We will take a break and do theprehensive science test paper in ten minutes." The continuous exnations left Lin Tian somewhat tired, so he stood up to pour himself a ss of water. Thinking about it, he poured a ss for Bu Mengting as well. "Thank you!" Bu Mengting took the ss, smiling sweetly. "I told you not to be so formal!" Lin Tian chuckled, then tilted his head back and gulped down the water in his ss. He really was thirsty. Bu Mengting, unlike Lin Tian, was somewhat thirsty too but only sipped her water in small sips. As she sipped the cool water in her hand, Bu Mengting looked around out of boredom. When her gaze swept past the windowsill, it suddenly stopped. She looked bewildered at a pink cloth doll the size of a thumb hanging on the windowsill. Seeing the slightly familiar-looking cloth doll, Bu Mengting was a bit dazed. After a moment, she turned her head as if nothing was wrong and looked at Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, where did you get that doll? It''s so cute!" "What?" After ncing at the doll hanging on the windowsill, Lin Tian paused for a moment, then pretended to casuallyugh, "I saw it at a roadside stall. I thought it was pretty, so I bought it." "Really?" Bu Mengting gave him a look and pouted, "Then why is it pink? That''s something girls like." "I like pink too," Lin Tian exined with augh. "Really?" Bu Mengting stared tightly at Lin Tian, disbelief on her face, "Then why did I see an identical one on Teacher He?" After speaking, Bu Mengting paused, then continued, "Moreover, Teacher He said she lost it a while ago. Why do you have another one that''s exactly the same?" Bu Mengting''s gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian. "Um..." Lin Tian appeared a bit awkward, then forced a smile, "I actually picked up this cloth doll." "Forget it, just know you are lying!" Bu Mengting turned around, sounding somewhat gloomy. "Um..." Lin Tian didn''t know what to say for a moment. This cloth doll was naturally a gift from He Qianqian; she had given it to him hoping he would score well on his college entrance exam. This was the first time He Qianqian had given something to Lin Tian. He was excited and naturally ced it in a prominent spot in his room. Today, however, had turned out to be unexpected. Hearing Lin Tian''s silence, Bu Mengting seemed a bit depressed. After hesitating, she turned her head back and looked at the somewhat awkward Lin Tian, "Tell me honestly, do you have something going on with Teacher He?" "What do you mean ''something''?" Lin Tian asked subconsciously. "A romantic rtionship!" Bu Mengting''s gaze was firmly on Lin Tian. "Um..." Lin Tian looked even more embarrassed at this point. Lin Tian could of course lie to Bu Mengting, but what was the point? If he was to continue interacting with Bu Mengting, she would find out eventually. Seeing Lin Tian remain silent, Bu Mengting hung her head slightly, her mood appearing low. After a moment of silence, Bu Mengting lifted her head, her beautiful eyes gleaming as she stared at Lin Tian and said word by word, "Do you like me?" "What?" Lin Tian''s mouth gaped open, clearly stunned. He waspletely taken aback by Bu Mengting''s question. Like or not like? Of course, he liked her. Bu Mengting was very pretty and sweet, and who wouldn''t like a beautiful girl? And not to mention her looks, Lin Tian also really liked Bu Mengting''s personality. Even though she was a bit of a dingbat and somewhat clueless, it just made her all the more charming. "Do you like me?" Seeing Lin Tian not speaking, Bu Mengting repeated the question. After hesitating, Lin Tian finally nodded. Seeing Lin Tian nod, a spark of happiness flickered in Bu Mengting''s beautiful eyes. With a slight upward curve of her lips, Bu Mengting leaned on her chair and stood up, then walked briskly toward Lin Tian, getting very close. "What are you doing?" Lin Tian looked at the very close Bu Mengting in bewilderment. Now, the two of them were very close, close enough to feel each other''s warm breaths. Bu Mengting''s cheeks were faintly red, feeling somewhat hot. It was shyness. Despite this, she took a deep breath, tilted her head slightly upward, "Kiss me!" "Um..." Lin Tian looked at her, stupefied. Chapter 51 Falling in Love with Your Bed "Uh..." Lin Tian stared nkly at Bu Mengting, somewhat dumbfounded. He had never anticipated that Bu Mengting would be so bold. Lin Tian stood still, a bit slow to react. With her eyes closed, Bu Mengting felt Lin Tian not reacting. Despite being extremely nervous, Bu Mengting still tilted her head back and whispered softly, "Kiss me!" Closer... Bu Mengting''s body instantly stiffened. In an instant, Lin Tian engulfed Bu Mengting in the sensation. "Lin Tian,e out! Let''s invite Mengting to have some watermelon!" Just as the two of them were immersed in the moment, a sudden knock on the door was followed by Shi Qing''s voice outside. Startled by the sound, Bu Mengting snapped out of her rapture and instantly became alert. Bu Mengting took several steps away from Lin Tian with her face flushed crimson. zing hot! Bu Mengting felt her face burning hot. Seeing Bu Mengting''s face turn red as she distanced herself slightly, Lin Tian chuckled softly and smiled at her, "Let''s go out and have watermelonter." "Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded gently, too shy to look up at Lin Tian. After the impulsive moment, all that remained was shyness. Seeing Bu Mengting''s shy demeanor, Lin Tian felt a bit regretful that his mom had interrupted him at such an opportune moment. However, Lin Tian didn''t mind too much, knowing that once the first step was taken, the next would be easier. Just like with He Qianqian. ** Time passed day by day, and before long, it was June 7. The day of the college entrance examination had arrived. June 7th, sitting in the examination hall, Bu Mengting was stunned when she saw the exam papers being distributed by the invigtor. She couldn''t believe her eyes as she looked at the paper. Identical! The questions on the exam paper were exactly the same as the ones Lin Tian had given her! After a brief pause, Bu Mengting began writing with a mix of curiosity, confusion, and excitement. Her pen flew across the paper! In another examination room, Lin Tian looked at his own paper with a calm expression. After a nce at the exam paper, Lin Tian started to write, not even needing to draft. The answers were already deeply embedded in his memory. Just forty minutester, Lin Tian stood up to submit his paper. He could have done so in just ten minutes if he didn''t worry about shocking the conventional crowd. ** The two days of the college entrance exam were tense for many, but for Lin Tian, they were incredibly rxed. Unnoticeably, two days passed, and on the afternoon of June 8th, thest subject had concluded. This meant that the college entrance exam hade to an end. After the exam, many students went wild, shouting joyously and tossing their books around! Everyone had been under pressure for too long! They could finally discard the textbooks that had been weighing on their minds. The night following the end of the exam, Lin Tian did not agree to hang out with his ssmates; instead, he went to He Qianqian''s dormitory. That''s because He Qianqian had said that she had no more sses after the exam concluded, and she was nning to go home the next day. At nine o''clock in the evening, Lin Tian quietly arrived at He Qianqian''s dormitory and knocked on the door. He Qianqian opened the door, somewhat surprised to find that it was Lin Tian. She stepped aside to let him in. Then He Qianqian closed the door behind them, looking at Lin Tian with puzzled eyes, "Didn''t you say you weren''ting over tonight?" Lin Tian smiled and sprawled on the bed, grinning, "I just wanted to give you a surprise." He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, somewhat discontent as she watched him roll around on her bed, "Don''t dirty my bed."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om "Don''t worry, I made sure to change my clothes and take a shower before I came! I won''t dirty your bed!" As he spoke, Lin Tian rolled up He Qianqian''s cartoon nket to his nose and sniffed. He said, overwhelmed, "It smells so good! It has your scent on it!" "You!" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, both embarrassed and angry. She wanted to say something but ended up shaking her head helplessly. He Qianqian had witnessed Lin Tian''s rascal behavior enough to know that arguing was pointless. Ignoring Lin Tian, He Qianqian returned to her desk and resumed reading her book. As she flipped through the pages, she said, "You can only stay here for half an hour. The teachers who went out will be back after that." Hearing this, Lin Tian''s eyes flickered, and he immediately replied with a cheerful, "Sure thing!" He Qianqian didn''t mind Lin Tian''s ready agreement and continued to look down at her book. Meanwhile, Lin Tian took out his phone on his bed and began reading novels. Before he knew it, half an hour had passed. He looked up at the time on the wall, and He Qianqian turned her head and said, "It''s nine thirty, you should leave now, or the teachers will be back. It won''t look good if they see you." "Oh, okay!" Although He Qianqian was a bit puzzled by Lin Tian''s easy departure today, she didn''t think much of it. After sending Lin Tian off and noticing it was gettingte, He Qianqian stood up, closed her book, and prepared to take a bath. Leaving He Qianqian''s dormitory, Lin Tian didn''t go far, but stopped under arge tree not far from He Qianqian''s dormitory. Lin Tian stood in the shadow of the tree, invisible to others, but he could see anyoneing from a distance. Lin Tian had no intention of going home today. When he left, he had told his parents he would be ying with ssmates and might note back. His parents agreed to Lin Tian''s request, agreeing to let him rx a bit after the college entrance examination. Waiting under the tree for nearly twenty minutes, a noisy sound suddenly came from a distance. Hearing this sound, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. He looked up and saw it was those teachers returning from their outing. Seeing the distance, they could arrive in five or six minutes. Seeing this, Lin Tian turned around and walked quickly back to He Qianqian''s dormitory door, knocking on it. When He Qianqian opened the door, Lin Tian saw that she had already changed into pink pajamas, obviously ready to sleep. "Why did youe back?" He Qianqian asked, surprised to see Lin Tian. "I left my phone behind, so I came back to get it," Lin Tian exined. For this excuse, he had intentionally left his phone behind when he left earlier. "Hurry up and leave after you get your phone, they are about to return." "Alright." Entering the room, Lin Tian deliberately dawdled while looking for his phone, until he heard talking outside, and then he found it. "Look, they''re all back!" He Qianqian also heard the voices outside and looked at Lin Tian with some dissatisfaction. Lin Tian raised an eyebrow but said nothing. "Knock, knock!" Suddenly, there were knocks at the door. The sudden knock startled He Qianqian. Then she called out, "Who is it?" "Qianqian? I brought back somete-night snacks, do you want some?" A female voice came from outside the door. "No thanks, I''m about to sleep. I''ll pass." He Qianqian hurriedly rejected, afraid that Lin Tian in the room would be seen. "Going to sleep so early?" The person outside muttered and then walked away. Hearing that person walk away, He Qianqian let out a sigh of relief, then red at Lin Tian. Lin Tian gave a heh-hehugh. He didn''t say anything. This was the effect Lin Tian wanted. Now, even if Lin Tian wanted to leave, he couldn''t. At ten thirty in the evening, to He Qianqian''s surprise, there were still voicesing from outside intermittently. Clearly, the teachers were chatting on thewn in front of the teacher''s dormitory. Listening to their voices, it seemed they had prepared a lot of food, and it looked like the chat wouldn''t end anytime soon. This frustrated He Qianqian''s n to have Lin Tian leave after the teachers went to sleep. At eleven thirty in the evening, the people were still chatting. By this time, He Qianqian was very sleepy. Seeing her like this, Lin Tian, who had been lingering on He Qianqian''s bed, whispered, "Why don''t youe over and sleep for a bit? They won''t finish that quickly." "I don''t want to!" "Come up or not?" Lin Tian asked again. "I don''t want to!" Lin Tian stopped talking and quickly stood up and walked over to He Qianqian, then picked her up! "What are you doing! Put me down!" He Qianqian whispered in panic. "What are you doing! Let go!" He Qianqian struggled, trying to push Lin Tian away with her hands. He Qianqian''s eyes began to grow hazy. Suddenly, He Qianqian''s eyes widened! Chapter 52 What did you say? An hourter, Lin Tiany in bed, holding He Qianqian, whose face was flushed as she rested her head in Lin Tian''s arms. Lin Tian reached out his hand and gently stroked He Qianqian''s hair, damp with sweat, and said in a low voice with some pride, "I''m impressive, right?" "You! Humph," He Qianqian red at Lin Tian fiercely and twisted the flesh around his waist with her hand. Lin Tian didn''t care about He Qianqian''s little movement at all and said with a chuckle, "Qianqian, who would''ve thought you''d still be a virgin!" "What are you talking about!" He Qianqian, somewhat angry and embarrassed, twisted the flesh around Lin Tian''s waist even harder with her hand! Even after the passion had subsided, the blush on He Qianqian''s face had not yet faded, making her appear even more shy and endearing. Lin Tian chuckled and didn''t say anything, just bending down to gently kiss the beads of sweat on He Qianqian''s forehead. "Mm... don''t!" He Qianqian''s eyes were somewhat blurred as she struggled, gently pushing Lin Tian away with her hand, "No more, I can''t take it!" Laughing, Lin Tian backed off and looked at He Qianqian seriously, "Now you''re my woman!" He Qianqian gave Lin Tian a sidelong nce and hummed softly, "Rogue!" "Isn''t it exactly because I''m a rogue that you like me?" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows with a hint of smugness. He Qianqian shook her head helplessly, with a resigned expression on her face. After resting for ten minutes, Lin Tian''s hand quietly reached down again... ** At five in the morning the next day, before dawn had broken, Lin Tian sneaked out of He Qianqian''s room. "Hurry up, don''t get caught!" Seeing Lin Tian leave the room and still reluctantly lingering, He Qianqian said anxiously from behind the door. "Rx, no one''s around!" Lin Tian gave He Qianqian a reassuring look and then quickly walked away. Watching Lin Tian stride away and realizing no one had noticed, He Qianqian finally let out a sigh of relief and closed the door. As Lin Tian walked quickly away from He Qianqian''s bedroom, he was savoring the events of the previous night. It was like a dream! A beautiful dream! A dream Lin Tian did not want to wake up from! Last night, Lin Tian entangled with He Qianqian three times, each one leaving him with endless aftertaste. It was a sensation Lin Tian had never experienced before. But most importantly, He Qianqian had finally be his woman. The one who had been his teacher, his goddess, had finally be his woman. Just thinking about it felt like a dream. The campus was misty in the early morning, and the air was a bit chilly. Lin Tian took a deep breath, feeling the cool air entering his nostrils. As the coolness filled his body, Lin Tian felt his mind bing clear. He knew that all of it was real. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian turned his head to look at the teachers'' dormitory that was quickly fading from sight, stared for a moment, and then turned to leave briskly. The next day, He Qianqian still left for home ording to n. But before she left, Lin Tian insisted on booking a hotel with her one more time. Although He Qianqian was somewhat reluctant, she eventually agreed to Lin Tian''s request. The first-timers indulged in their love-making at the hotel in a somewhat frenzied manner. When He Qianqian left the hotel, her fair face still seemed a bit flushed. Upon leaving, Lin Tian even saw a thickyer of reluctance in He Qianqian''s eyes, something that would have been nearly impossible before. Three days after He Qianqian left, Bu Mengting also came to say goodbye to Lin Tian, saying she was going home as well. Although reluctant, Lin Tian could not do anything about it; after all, one could not simply prevent others from returning home. With both important women no longer by his side, Lin Tian suddenly felt much lonelier. He could call them, but not being able to see them, always left Lin Tian feeling somewhat displeased. The day after Bu Mengting left, Lin Tian, out of boredom, decided to travel during the summer vacation. He also nned to take He Qianqian with him to have fun together. However, before leaving, Lin Tian did not tell He Qianqian; he intended to give her a surprise. No sooner had the thought urred to him than Lin Tian visited the major sports lottery centers and used his "irvoyance" to earn himself some travel money. In one day, Lin Tian had amassed a sum of tens of thousands of yuan.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om With that money in hand, Lin Tian stopped, not intending to continue, as suddenly having too much would attract attention. "One hundred and fifty thousand, plus the thirty thousand I had saved up, makes a total of one hundred and eighty thousand, which is enough!" Lin Tian calcted his funds after exchanging the prize money. The day he received the money, Lin Tian informed his parents and then bought a train ticket to Jia''an City. Lin Tian had long ago told his parents about his ns to travel, and they had agreed. In the eyes of Lin Tian''s parents, their eighteen-year-old son was now an adult and could venture out on his own. On June 15, at ten o''clock in the morning, Lin Tian boarded the train alone. Destination ¡ª Jia''an City! Holding the ticket in one hand and a backpack on his shoulders, Lin Tian walked towards his seat. The train was crowded, and Lin Tian could only move forward slowly. As he walked, Lin Tian looked around at the seat numbers. When he reached the center, Lin Tian stopped and stared at a seat number on the left ¡ª 66! Seat 66, that was his number. He nced at seat number 66, which was still unupied. Lin Tian didn''t mind, and after securing his backpack on the luggage rack, he sat down. As soon as he took his seat, Lin Tian felt his pocket vibrate. His phone was ringing. Lin Tian pulled out his phone and saw that it was a call from his mom. "Hello, Mom!" "Yeah, I''m on the train, I know, don''t worry about it. I will." After speaking briefly with his mom, Lin Tian hung up the phone. Although Lin Tian''s parents had agreed to let him go out on his own, they were still somewhat worried about him and asked him to call home every day. Lin Tian also understood his family''s concerns, so he agreed. After ending the call, Lin Tian became somewhat curious, ncing around him like an inquisitive child. This was Lin Tian''s first time on a train, having never left Wu''an City since he was born. It was his first time traveling far from home. "Whoosh~~" As Lin Tian''s curiosity lingered, the train gradually started moving, the scenery outside slowly reversing. ... Two hourster, Lin Tian on the train had lost the initial excitement and instead seemed somewhat bored. Sitting alone on the train can indeed be boring. What made Lin Tian dissatisfied was that the train was stuffier than outside, with poor air cirction. With a cursory nce outside the window, Lin Tian took out his phone to read novels. Alone on the train with nothing better to do, he had to pass the time with novels. After reading for a while and finishing thest updated chapter, Lin Tian suddenly had nothing to read. "Damn! The updates are too slow!" He was frustrated when the exciting part ended, but there was nothing he could do. With a sigh, Lin Tian pocketed his phone and, feeling a bit bored, started looking around again. After scanning the vicinity, Lin Tian suddenly paused, his gaze resting on a certain individual. In front of Lin Tian not far away was an old man around 70 years old, his face covered with wrinkles. Even his back was slightly bent due to age, and Lin Tian noticed that he seemed to have some difficulty with his legs. At this moment, the old man appeared somewhat tired, standing in the aisle with his eyes looking a bit cloudy. After watching the old man for a moment, Lin Tian stood up and spoke with a smile, "Sir, pleasee and have a seat." The old man looked at Lin Tian with some surprise and then smiled, shaking his head, "No need!" "Sit down, I''ve been sitting for a while and could do with standing up!" said Lin Tian with a grin, stepping aside to make room. Sensing Lin Tian''s enthusiasm and feeling genuinely weary, the old man stopped declining and walked over. However, even so, as he sat down, he repeatedly thanked Lin Tian. "It''s nothing, take a seat!" After the old man sat down, Lin Tian stood in the aisle, leaning his body against the chair, and took out his phone again, intending to look for other novels. For Lin Tian, he was always willing to help others. So Lin Tian stood in the aisle, reading his novels. During this time, the old man tried to let Lin Tian sit a few times, but Lin Tian declined each offer. An hourter, the train stopped at Jiping County. "Young man, this is my stop, thank you!" When the train reached the station at Jiping County, the old man who had been sitting in Lin Tian''s seat stood up, looking at him with gratitude. "It''s no problem. I can carry your things for you." Noticing the old man''s mobility issues, Lin Tian volunteered to carry his belongings off the train. "Thank you!" the old man kept saying. "No worries!" Lin Tianughed and waved his hand dismissively, then turned to head back to his seat. As Lin Tian turned around, many passengers were boarding the train. Lin Tian didn''t pay it much mind and walked slowly back to his seat. Halfway back, Lin Tian felt someone push his shoulder and saw someone squeeze past him in a hurry. Lin Tian frowned and nced at the person. He noticed the individual was an old man in his sixties. His mouth opened to say something, but in the end, Lin Tian didn''t let the words out. But just as Lin Tian thought that was the end of it, he saw the old man make a beeline for his seat, then without asking anyone, he sat down without a word. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s brows furrowed, feeling somewhat annoyed. With an irritated twitch of his mouth, Lin Tian walked over, stopped in front of the man, and looked at him expressionlessly, "Excuse me, what''s your seat number? I''m 66." The old man looked up at Lin Tian and replied in a tough tone, "I''m just sitting here for a bit, I''ll give it back to you in a while!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly! A me of anger sparked within him, but after some thought, he still managed to hold back. He Qianqian had always told him not to act impulsively, and he was willing to listen. Besides, he wasn''t too keen on losing his temper at an older person. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian stood to one side, deciding to let the man sit for a while longer, as he wasn''t too tired himself yet. After another ten minutes or so of reading updates on a novel, Lin Tian started feeling tired from standing. He approached the old man and said, "You can get up now; I need to sit down." "What''s the rush?" the old man responded irritably, ncing at Lin Tian and protesting, "Didn''t you just give up your seat for a while? Don''t you have any sense of respecting the elderly and caring for the young?" "No sense?" Lin Tian said, getting angry, "What does it mean to respect the elderly and care for the young? Does giving up my seat to you constitute respect? You don''t even look at your own behavior. You sat down without anyone''s permission, showing none of the kindness and benevolence of an elder. And you expect others to respect you? Are you worthy?" "What did you say, you little brat!" the old man looked at Lin Tian angrily. "I said you''d better get up, because I want to sit!" Lin Tian said darkly. His patience had run out. "What if I don''t get up? What can you do to me!" the old man retorted smugly, looking at Lin Tian defiantly. "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled softly, but made no further move. "What''s the matter?" The sudden dispute on the train caught the attention of the surrounding passengers. Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t do anything, the old man thought Lin Tian was scared and became even more arrogant, pointing at Lin Tian and shouting, "Let me tell you, kid, don''t make a fuss in front of me, or I swear I''ll knock you out! Damn!" "What did you say?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, a cold light shing within. Chapter 53 is about his foul mouth. "What did you say?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flickering within them. "I told you to get lost!" The old man pointed at Lin Tian with an arrogant attitude. Upon hearing the old man''s words, the people around them began whispering among themselves, "This guy is too arrogant." "Exactly, way too arrogant." ... However, the surrounding murmurs did not make the old man restrain himself. Instead, his attitude became even more arrogant and his voice louder. He sat on a chair, pointed directly at Lin Tian, and cursed, "Damn, so what if I took your seat? What are you bbering about, reincarnating or something!" "Heh..." Lin Tian let out a lightugh, sticking out his tongue to lick his somewhat dry lips, his gaze icy as he watched him. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, the old man shouted, "What are you looking at, kid, believe it or not, I''ll knock you dead!" Lin Tian''s eyes slightly narrowed, he strode forward, and harshly reached out! p! Lin Tian''s hand tightly gripped the old man''s neck, lifting him with one hand! Whoosh! Lin Tian lifted the old man into the air with one hand, his grip slowly tightening! Lin Tian coldly stared at him, "I don''t know where you get the courage to be so arrogant?" Lin Tian''s grip slowly tightened, his tone icy, "Old fool, are you seeking death?" As he spoke, Lin Tian''s grip tightened again, a trace of a murderous intent flickering in his eyes. "Gurgle..." As Lin Tian''s grip tightened, gurgling sounds came from the old man''s throat; he couldn''t speak at all. His eyes began bulging, and his face started turning pale. Struggle! The old man desperately struggled! He tried his best to pry open Lin Tian''s fingers, but couldn''t move them at all. Lin Tian''s hands were like steel. He grabbed Lin Tian''s arm with his right hand, but as Lin Tian''s muscles tensed, his fingers could only leave futile red marks on Lin Tian''s arm. "Gurgle..." The old man''s face grew paler! Fear! His eyes started to show fear! Lin Tian''s sudden outburst startled everyone around them. After a moment of shock, people quickly approached to stop Lin Tian. "Young man, let go at once!" "Quick, let him go! If something happens, you''ll have to pay, it''s not worth it!" While saying this, they tried pulling Lin Tian away, hoping he would release the old man. But the strength of Lin Tian, they couldn''t move him! After coldly choking the old man for a while, Lin Tian finally loosened his grip. "Huff huff!" As soon as Lin Tian released his hold, the old man fell to the ground, gasping for air deeply. After a slight rest, the old man cursed loudly, "You little..." "If you wish to die, keep shouting!" Lin Tian stared coldly at him. The old man hesitated mid-sentence, cleared his throat, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn''t dare to continue. By this time, the people nearby also spoke up, "Enough, just stop talking." "Exactly, it was your fault to begin with!" The surrounding passengers all voiced their dismay towards the old man. They have long been displeased with the old man''s arrogant behavior. No one expected to encounter such a peculiar person. Sensing the unweing attitudes around him, the old man red at Lin Tian and then turned away, heading to another carriage. After giving the old man a cold nce, Lin Tian returned to his seat with a frosty expression. Lin Tian hadn''t expected to encounter such a peculiar person either. He used to think he would never meet such people. Only now did he realize that the world is vast, anything is possible. Not long after Lin Tian sat down, someone approached him for a chat, "Young man, you''re quite strong!" "Indeed, indeed!" Echoes of agreement came from around. Everyone thought of the moment when Lin Tian lifted the old man with one hand. Lifting a person with one hand, what kind of strength was that? The old man must have weighed at least a hundred kilograms, lifting a hundred kilograms with one hand? Probably only those weightlifting champions could manage that. "Been working out," Lin Tian smiled faintly, somewhat dismissively. He didn''t want to talk much about these matters. Superpower was his secret. Amid the curious inquiries of the passengers, time unknowingly passed by and two hourster, the train arrived at Jia''an City. "Phew! Finally out!" Once off the train, Lin Tian took a deep breath, feeling the air outside was much fresher than on the train. Scanning the area, Lin Tian followed the crowd out of the train station, then hailed a taxi. "Driver, to Hongfeng Residency on Nanjing Road!" As soon as he got in the car, Lin Tian spoke up. While speaking, Lin Tian checked the time on his phone, it was already half-past three in the afternoon, he should be able to make it in time for dinner with He Qianqian. Lin Tian had seen the address where He Qianqian sent packages home before, so he knew where she lived. Twenty minutester, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Hongfeng Residency. Scanning the gate, Lin Tian pulled out his phone to call He Qianqian, while walking towards the convenience store opposite the residency, feeling a bit thirsty, Lin Tian nned to buy a bottle of water. "Beep beep... " The phone rang a few times before being answered. "Hello!" He Qianqian''s crisp voice came through on the other end. "Qianqian, did you miss me?" Lin Tian walked towards the convenience store while speaking cheerfully. "Miss your big head, no!" "That''s too disappointing. I was actually nning to give you a surprise." "What surprise?" He Qianqian asked somewhat puzzled. "Guess where I am now?" Lin Tian said with a mysterious air. "Don''t tell me you''re in Jia''an City!" He Qianqian''s voice, somewhat hesitant, came over the phone. Knowing Lin Tian as she did, He Qianqian was sure he could pull off something like this. Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "That''s my girl, you know me too well!" "Really? Don''t lie to me!" He Qianqian''s surprised voice came through the phone. "Hurry up ande out, I''m right outside your apartmentplex." Lin Tian said with a chuckle, while pulling out a coin to buy a bottle of mineral water. "You..." He Qianqian was momentarily at a loss for words, hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Wait for me, I''ming down right now!" With that, He Qianqian hung up the phone with a snap. ncing at the phone that had been hung up, Lin Tian put it back in his pocket, then twisted open the bottle of mineral water to drink. After waiting a minute, Lin Tian saw He Qianqian, dressed in blue jeans, hurriedly running out, then looking left and right at the entrance of theplex. After scanning He Qianqian, Lin Tian was just about to approach her when suddenly, he halted in his steps. Just as Lin Tian was about to approach, suddenly a man in his twenties walked up from a distance. Upon seeing He Qianqian, he quickened his pace and seemed quite familiar with her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Lin Tian stood still, not immediately approaching, his gaze somewhat puzzled. The man ran up and exchanged a few words with He Qianqian, then the two of them began to talk. Since they were too far away, Lin Tian couldn''t hear what they were saying. However, after a few exchanges, it seemed there was a disagreement, and He Qianqian coldly said something to the man. Seeing this, Lin Tian no longer hesitated and quickly walked over. "Zhong Han, stop pestering me. I''ve told you I have a boyfriend!" He Qianqian said coldly to Zhong Han. Sinceing back home, her mother had forced her to go on blind dates, and since meeting, Zhong Han had been pestering her, impossible to get rid of. It was so annoying! "I know you''re lying to me. Your mother said you don''t have a boyfriend at all!" Zhong Han was persistent. "Whether I have a boyfriend or not, does my mom know better, or do I? Please, can you just stoping around?" He Qianqian looked at him helplessly, her expression showing impatience. "I really like you a lot!" Zhong Han persisted, looking at He Qianqian. Hearing this, He Qianqian pursed her lips, stopped arguing, and turned to leave. Snap! But just as He Qianqian turned, her arm was grabbed by Zhong Han! "What are you doing?" She nced at his hand gripping hers tightly, clearly annoyed. "Give me a chance!" Zhong Han''s gaze fixed intensely on He Qianqian, his grip tightening. "You..." Just as He Qianqian was about to say something, suddenly she saw a familiar figure. "Hey, what are you doing?" Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, frowning at Zhong Han, his eyes sweeping to where Zhong Han was holding He Qianqian''s hand. "Who''s this kid? Scram!" Zhong Han was not so polite to Lin Tian, directly scolding him. "Let go!" At that moment, He Qianqian struggled forcefully, pulling her arm away from Zhong Han''s grasp. He Qianqian shook off his hand, and Zhong Han''s face took on an ugly expression, his patience from earlier seemingly vanished as he said darkly,"Is this necessary? What''s wrong with me? You want money, I give you money. You don''t want face!" Hearing this, He Qianqian''s face turned ashen, and with a cold expression she retorted, "Who wants your money? I am not interested. Just go away!" "Damn it, believe it or not, I''ll have someone gang up on you! Fuck!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian, with a cold face, directly pped him! Smack! With a loud p, Zhong Han was pped to the ground by Lin Tian. The p from Lin Tian was hard, and Zhong Han''s left cheek immediately swelled up, a vivid handprint appearing. Zhong Hany on the ground, his head buzzing, momentarily stunned. Lin Tian, with a cold face, came over to Zhong Han, slowly squatted down, and lightly patted Zhong Han''s cheek,"If your mouth is that foul next time, I''ll rip it off!" As Lin Tian''s hand lightly tapped the swollen cheek, Zhong Han felt waves of pain in his cheek, and his mind also cleared up a bit. Looking up at Lin Tian squatting before him, Zhong Han felt a surge of anger and struggled to get up, swearing indistinctly, "Fuck..." "Smack!" Lin Tian didn''t wait for him to speak, directly pped him on the head, knocking him down again! Lin Tian harshly grabbed Zhong Han by the hair and lifted him up," Did you not hear what I said?" Zhong Han red at Lin Tian, his eyes flickering with hatred. Having been overpowered twice, he dared not curse anymore. Seeing that Zhong Han didn''t dare to speak anymore, Lin Tian finally smiled, lightly patted Zhong Han''s swollen cheek and cheerfully said, "That''s better! Now get lost!" When Lin Tian let go of Zhong Han, he struggled to his feet, ring venomously at Lin Tian and He Qianqian. Without saying anything harsh, he turned and left. By then, the conflict had drawn some onlookers. Noticing the people around them, He Qianqian quickly pulled Lin Tian and hurried away. After walking a distance with Lin Tian and making sure no one recognized her, He Qianqian finally turned around, looking dissatisfied, and said, "What''s wrong with you? Why are you still so impulsive? Can''t you cause a little less trouble?" Lin Tian slightly lowered his head, pouted, and muttered, "It''s because his mouth was too foul!" "Oh! So just because he curses, you can hit him? Do you realize how much trouble you''ve stirred up?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, visibly upset. "What''s wrong now?" Lin Tian looked up at He Qianqian. "What''s wrong now?" He Qianqian red at Lin Tian, her tone discontented, "Do you know who his dad is? His father is a local magnate, said to have connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world! You could really get into trouble, you know!" Taking a deep breath, He Qianqian waved her hand somewhat irritably, "Just go, before hees after you for revenge. I''ll handle the rest." At that, He Qianqian sighed a bit helplessly. When would Lin Tian stop being so impulsive! This little nemesis. Hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian felt a warm surge inside. What He Qianqian was thinking about at that moment wasn''t her own trouble, but telling him to leave and dealing with the situation herself. Seeing Zhong Han''s attitude towards He Qianqian, what could she really handle? Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian pulled He Qianqian into his embrace and said softly, "Don''t worry, I''ll handle it!" As she leaned against Lin Tian, He Qianqian''s expression was somewhat resigned. Handle it? How? He Qianqian truly didn''t believe it. Chapter 54 Jumping off a Building Embracing He Qianqian, Lin Tian gently patted her fragrant shoulder, softlyforting, "Don''t worry, everything will be okay with me!" The two of them were hugging each other in the street, and given the clear age discrepancy between them, passersby cast curious nces their way from time to time. Even though they didn''t dare to gawk openly, they still sneakily looked over. Their gazes were filled with curiosity. Noticing the looks from people around her, He Qianqian''s pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly struggled out of Lin Tian''s embrace. Lin Tian also noticed the looks from the bystanders, and despite not caring himself, he didn''t insist since He Qianqian was embarrassed. Looking at He Qianqian''s slightly reddened face, Lin Tian said with a chuckle, "You''ll apany me tonight, okay?" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. She certainly knew what he meant. She had wanted to refuse but, as if thinking of something, she changed her mind and said, "You should just buy a train ticket and leave tonight." "So soon?" Lin Tian was somewhat taken aback. He Qianqian, not in the best of moods, forced a smile and said, "Let''s have dinnerter, then get a room, and after that, you''ll head back. How about that!" Lin Tian opened his mouth, and in the end, said nothing, just silently nodded. Afterward, the two found a small restaurant to eat. After resting for a while following the meal, they rented a room. Once in the room, He Qianqian, for some reason, became extremely intense.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Two hourster, He Qianqian insisted on watching Lin Tian board the train. Having no choice, Lin Tian bought a train ticket but didn''t board the train after having his ticket checked and entering the station; instead, he stood on the tform, watching the train leave. "Buzz buzz~!" As the train slowly started to move, Lin Tian felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. Lin Tian took out his phone and saw that it was He Qianqian calling. "Hello!" Lin Tian answered the call. "Did you get on the train?" "Yeah, I''m on!" Lin Tian said casually as he watched the slowly moving train in front of him. "Good, then. You need to be more careful in the future and not so impulsive, okay?" He Qianqian instructed from the other end of the line. "I understand, don''t worry." "Take care!" He Qianqian sounded a bit down on the other end of the call. "Is it necessary to be so dramatic, as if it''s a matter of life and death?" Lin Tianughed. "..." There was a long silence on the other end from He Qianqian. After a silence of six or seven seconds, He Qianqian''s voice came through, sounding somewhat sorrowful and hesitant, "Lin Tian, I... I love you!" Upon hearing these words, Lin Tian was stunned, rooted to the spot. By the time Lin Tian came to his senses, the call had already been disconnected. Looking at the disconnected phone, Lin Tian''s nose tingled, and his eyes were slightly moist. He took a deep breath, tilted back his head, and forced the tears in his eyes to stay back. Putting the phone back in his pocket, he walked out of the train station with a stern face. Why He Qianqian was so wild in the room and why she was so sorrowful during their farewell, even going so far as to make a confession she would almost never voice, Lin Tian understood all too well. It was all because of Zhong Han. She was afraid of getting hurt, afraid of Zhong Han''s revenge, and so she nned to take care of the situation herself. Even though she knew Lin Tian was a good fighter, capable of defeating ten men alone, she didn''t believe he could handle the Zhong family, who had influence over both ck and white in Jia''an City. For Lin Tian, she was willing to sacrifice herself. He took a deep breath, and with a touch of helplessness, Lin Tian mumbled to himself, "Girl, I really can handle everything!" Was Lin Tian a fool? He didn''t think so. Did he not know that such impulsiveness could bring trouble? He knew it all too well! But because of his superpower, Lin Tian didn''t have to put up with so much, with it he could take care of many problems! Without the superpower, he would definitely swallow his pride, for overstepping one''s capabilities is just seeking death! The reason he beat up Zhong Han was because Lin Tian believed he could take him down, even if the other party had significant clout in Jia''an City! But He Qianqian didn''t know that, and Lin Tian couldn''t tell her about his superpower. The superpower was Lin Tian''s biggest secret. Without words to express it, Lin Tian had no choice but to pretend to heed He Qianqian''s advice to leave and thene backter to resolve the situation. "Zhong Han..." Muttering these two words to himself, Lin Tian walked briskly out of the train station. After leaving the station, he thought for a moment, then turned back inside, and took out his phone to look through it. The reason he didn''t immediately leave was partly to wait for He Qianqian to leave the station, to avoid running into each other, Another aspect was that for a famous wealthy family like the Zhong family, there was still some information avable online. By simply gathering this information from the inte and then conducting a field investigation, a lot of details could be revealed. Half an hourter, Lin Tian put away his phone. He had already gained some understanding of the Zhong family. Through research, Lin Tian learned that Zhong Han''s father, Zhong An, was the biggest real estate tycoon in Jia''an City. At the same time, on the inte, Lin Tian also found some incidents of Zhong An''s real estate enforcers forcibly evicting people and assaulting them. While thinking about the information he found online, Lin Tian hurriedly walked out of the train station. Half an hour had passed, and He Qianqian should have left by now. Thinking of He Qianqian, Lin Tian took out his phone again and opened an app. In an instant, a red dot appeared on Lin Tian''s phone GPS map. Seeing the location of this red dot, Lin Tian finally felt relieved. Fortunately, He Qianqian had not gone to find Zhong Han yet; she had already gone home. Because he was worried that He Qianqian would go looking for Zhong Han behind his back and feared she would get hurt, Lin Tian had secretly downloaded a tracking software onto He Qianqian''s phone while they were previously in the hotel room. Through GPS, Lin Tian could know He Qianqian''s location. Being certain that He Qianqian did not go to find Zhong Han tonight, Lin Tian felt much more at ease and prepared for his next move. After leaving the train station, Lin Tian was just about to hail a cab when suddenly he paused in his step, curiously looking to the right. About two hundred meters away from Lin Tian, in front of a building, many people were gathered, all of them craning their necks and looking up. Curiosity getting the better of him, Lin Tian also looked upwards. He could vaguely see a small ck dot on the rooftop terrace. That must be a girl, who at that moment was standing on the edge of the rooftop. Seeing this scene, a word shed in Lin Tian''s mind¡ªjump! Clearly, many people shared Lin Tian''s thought as they all looked up at the rooftop, pointing and talking about the girl. Hesitating for a moment and considering whether to go over or not, suddenly a synthesized electronic voice rang out in his mind, "Mission: Rescue the girl. Mission reward: One Supernatural Point!" With no further hesitation, the matter with Zhong Han could wait these few minutes¡ªthe priority now was to save the girl and earn the Supernatural Point. ncing at the girl and noting that she looked like she might jump at any moment, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and ran forward quickly. Rushing through the crowds into the building, Lin Tian hurried to the elevator and frantically pressed the button. Watching the slowly changing numbers on the elevator, Lin Tian felt anxious. After waiting for a while, unable to bear the slow speed of the elevator, Lin Tian gritted his teeth, turned around, and ran for the stairwell. Thump thump thump! Lin Tian''s speed was very fast, and within seconds he had sprinted up one floor of the building, his pace not slower than the elevator. Huff huff! Lin Tian ran quickly. Dozens of secondster, Lin Tian suddenly stopped in his tracks! He had arrived! Lin Tian had reached the rooftop, the eighteenth floor, with the terrace just ahead. ncing at the stairs to the rooftop, Lin Tian ran up them quickly. When Lin Tian got to the terrace, there were already more than a dozen people there. They were constantly persuading the girl not to jump. Upon reaching the terrace, Lin Tian only then noticed that the girl was actually very beautiful. She had fair skin, big eyes, and a delicate oval face; she was truly a beauty. Moreover, Lin Tian noticed that the girl wasn''t very old, about the same age as himself, probably seventeen or eighteen. But at that moment, the girl''s face was devoid of emotion, disying an air of despair greater than heartbreak. Despite people constantly coaxing behind her, the girl showed no expression. After ncing at the girl, just as Lin Tian was thinking about what to do, suddenly, his eyes widened, his heart startled, and he hurriedly rushed over! Jump! The girl had actually leaped down without saying a word! "Hey!" Lin Tian sprinted with all his might. p! In the nick of time, Lin Tian grabbed the girl''s arm, but because of the momentum and the girl''s downward gravity, Lin Tian''s body was also pulled down! Whoosh! Both bodies plummeted swiftly from the eighteenth floor! Like two rocks! Feeling his body falling quickly, Lin Tian''s face turned pale, and he cursed, "Shit!" Chapter 55 Serial Tasks The girl jumped silently all of a sudden, stunning and shocking everyone. But then Lin Tian suddenly dashed forward, reaching straight for the girl''s arm, and then he, too, was pulled down by the girl, falling from the building to everyone''s even greater surprise. "Ah!" Some girls screamed instinctively. "Look!" Someone suddenly pointed up and yelled from the base of the building. All eyes turned downward, and then they saw the girl jump suddenly, and at the same moment an arm reached out to grab her, and then that person was pulled out into the air as well. Falling from the building too! All onlookers were dumbfounded by the sight! They''re done for! Everyone thought the two of them were goners! Both of them doomed. At the moment Wang Xia jumped, she had braced herself for death, but in that moment, her heart was very calm, even with a hint of relief. For her at this time, death was not so terrible. But what she didn''t expect was that the moment she jumped, someone grabbed her arm. Wang Xia felt her body hang in the air for a moment before continuing to fall downward. At the same time, the owner of the hand was falling with her. A trace of surprise flickered through Wang Xia''s dazed expression as she looked up in astonishment. She saw a young boy, who seemed about her age. "So foolish!" Wang Xia murmured softly. Despite that, a touch of gratitude shone in her eyes. Feeling his body plummeting rapidly, Lin Tian had no mind to care what others thought. He mentally cursed out loud: "Shit! Shit! How could this happen!" Lin Tian had not anticipated that his charge would be too fast, causing him to be pulled down as well. This wasn''t the version of the n he had in mind! It''s over! If he fell from the eighteenth floor, he''d be dead for sure, even with the strength of eighteen men! The "Ox Power Technique" was not invincible; it just gave Lin Tian the strength of a bull, and not just Lin Tian, even a bull falling from the eighteenth floor would be surely dead. "Shit! I don''t want to die!" Roaring out loud, Lin Tian''s hand violently reached forward to grab! Snatch! Lin Tian''s arm caught a railing! Lin Tian gripped it fiercely! Rip~! The immense force of the fall bent the silver railing! But even so, Lin Tian''s body stopped falling, and Wang Xia, who was held by Lin Tian''s hand, stopped as well. By this time, they were at the twelfth floor. This scene left everyone in shock! "Damn! How is that possible?" someone below said, stupefied. Could this even work? "Rip~!" The railing Lin Tian was holding onto made a terrible tearing sound. The railing was severely deformed and starting to break. "Damn, not like this!" Lin Tian''s hand tightened slowly, pulling himself up gradually, his gaze fixed on the railing. Lin Tian''s body rose slowly, meantime the deformed railing bowed further, its crack widening. "Shit!" Lin Tian cursed under his breath as he hoisted his body upward slowly, not daring to apply too much force at once. But just as Lin Tian was climbing up swiftly, there was a sudden ''bang.'' The railing snapped. Lin Tian''s body fell again with a whoosh. "Your sister!" Lin Tian cursed, stretching his hand out to grab desperately once more. Snatch! Fortunately, he caught another railing. This was the eleventh floor''s railing. "Damn it!" Lin Tian cursed through clenched teeth, veins popping on his hands, as he pulled his body up with all his might. The eleventh-floor railing, though somewhat deformed under Lin Tian''s pull, could fully withstand the force of both Lin Tian and Wang Xia. Lin Tian slowly hoisted himself up, gradually climbing onto the eleventh-floor balcony. After climbing up, Lin Tian pulled Wang Xia up with one hand. "Huff!" After pulling Wang Xia up, Lin Tian copsed on the ground, breathing heavily, his expression showing a touch of lingering fear. Scared! Lin Tian had truly been scared just now! If he had really fallen to the ground from above, he might have died just like that! Too dangerous, it was too dangerous! "Huff!" Breathing heavily, Lin Tian took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. After several deep breaths, Lin Tian stood up, nced at the girl who was also sitting on the ground looking a bit bewildered, made sure she wouldn''t jump off the building again, and hurriedly turned around to leave. Lin Tian intended to leave this ce immediately. He had beenpelled to disy his great strength just now; surely someone below had captured the scene on their phones. Lin Tian didn''t want any trouble. Lin Tian didn''t want to be famous; he didn''t want anyone paying too much attention to him because it involved his supernatural abilities. So after resting for a while, before those people made it up, Lin Tian turned and quickly left. Exiting the balcony, he found the residents were out, so Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly left through the front door. On top of that, Lin Tian felt somewhat relieved that the building''s hallway didn''t have cameras. Arriving at the staircase, Lin Tian quickly descended. Since he took the stairs, Lin Tian amazingly went unnoticed. Once Lin Tian had put some distance between himself and the building, ensuring no one had spotted him, he finally stopped. At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind: "Taskpleted: Reward 1 Supernatural Point." Hearing this voice, a flicker of joy passed through Lin Tian''s heart. He breathed a sigh of relief; the task was finallyplete. If he had taken such a risk and the task hadn''t beenpleted, Lin Tian would have been at a huge loss! But just when Lin Tian thought it was over and was about to leave, another electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind: "Chain follow-up task: Fulfill Wang Xia''s wish. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point. Task Failure Penalty: Deduction of two Supernatural Points!" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian froze, a look of astonishment flickering across his face, "A chain task?" There was actually a chain task? And if it''s notpleted, it would even deduct Supernatural Points? How could this be? This kind of task, Lin Tian had never encountered before. He remained stunned for a moment before turning his head with some bewilderment, looking towards the building where the girl was. On this look, Lin Tian was taken aback again. A red dot! In Lin Tian''s vision, there was a red dot that appeared a bit blurry, seemingly resembling the model of a girl. "Even the red light has changed." Seeing the flickering red dot in his line of sight, Lin Tian was somewhat curious. In the past, Lin Tian could only see the shing red light on a person when he actually saw them. But with this chain task, even through walls, Lin Tian could see that red dot. That meant no matter where the person was, Lin Tian could find them. Any distance at all? A doubt shed through Lin Tian''s mind. Then, he closed his eyes and focused, hoping the system would answer his question. Several secondster, Lin Tian opened his eyes. By then, he had confirmed his suspicion. This chain task indeed was somewhat different; the task target''s shing red light was unlike the single tasks that could only be seen with the naked eye¡ªLin Tian could locate this chain task target, no matter how far away, through any barrier. "Since it''s like that, there''s no rush, and if I go now, I''ll definitely be discovered. Now''s the time to check on Qianqian." After thinking it over, Lin Tian walked towards a taxi not far away. Lin Tian was not in a hurry to take on the subsequent task. There were surely many people around that girl now. At the same time, Lin Tian was also worried about He Qianqian and was afraid she would go looking for Zhong Han at night. Even though he could determine He Qianqian''s location through his phone, not seeing her in person still left Lin Tian somewhat anxious. After getting into the cab and giving the driver an address, Lin Tian took out his phone and dialed He Qianqian''s number. "Hello, Qianqian..." Two minutester, Lin Tian hung up the call. Through the phone call, Lin Tian confirmed that He Qianqian was at home, and he also noticed that He Qianqian''s emotions had stabilized quite a bit. Nevertheless, despite this, Lin Tian still decided to go and see for himself. Half an hourter, the taxi stopped in the vicinity of He Qianqian''s residential area. Finding a deserted corner, Lin Tian turned invisible and headed towards He Qianqian''s home. Forty minutester, Lin Tian exited the residential area and dispelled his invisibility in a secluded corner. "Qianqian is fine, now the only thing left is to resolve that chain task." By the time he left, He Qianqian was preparing for bed. Assured that He Qianqian was safe for the night, Lin Tian decided to tackle the subsequent task.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om With this in mind, Lin Tian looked around and eventually his gaze settled in the northeast direction. In that direction, a red dot was shing faintly. Having confirmed the direction, Lin Tian hailed a cab and drove towards where the red dot was shing. Half an hourter, Lin Tian arrived in front of a household, staring at the tightly closed door with an expression that seemed somewhat troublesome. In Lin Tian''s vision, the red dot was inside here. But the door of the house was locked. After pondering in front of the door for a while, Lin Tian turned and swiftly ran down to the ground floor. Lin Tian wandered around thewn below for a bit when his eyes suddenly lit up. Lin Tian discovered that the girl was actually sitting in front of the window sill, propping up her chin with her hand, staring off into space, lost in thought. The girl''s floor wasn''t high, it was only the second floor; a light call from Lin Tian would reach her ears. Thinking of this, Lin Tian hurried over to the window sill, softly calling out, "Hey!" The girl didn''t react! "Hey!" Lin Tian called out once more. This time, the girl finally responded, looking down with a puzzled expression. Upon seeing him, she was somewhat stunned. Even though she nced at Lin Tian only once, his face was deeply etched in her memory. She remembered he was the boy who saved her. Why had hee? Seeing that Wang Xia had noticed him, Lin Tian appeared somewhat excited. After a moment of thought, he quickly stepped forward and rapidly climbed the balcony where the girl was with his hands and feet. With Lin Tian''s current strength, climbing a building was a piece of cake. Wang Xia watched curiously as Lin Tian climbed, not stopping him. "Whew!" Once Lin Tian climbed up, he let out a breath of relief, patted the dust off his clothes, and said with a smile, "This makes talking a bit easier." Wang Xia looked at Lin Tian with a trace of curiosity in her gaze, not uttering a word. Lin Tian looked around, then took a seat on a chair he found for himself, smiling at Wang Xia, "Why are you like this? If you have a wish, I can help you fulfill it!" Wang Xia looked at Lin Tian, not speaking, only a calm look in her eyes that now had a tinge of pain. After waiting a while, Wang Xia still did not reply. Helplessly, Lin Tian finally said, "If you have a wish, speak up, I can make it happen." After saying this, afraid the girl wouldn''t believe him, Lin Tian added assertively, "Really." Silently observing Lin Tian for a while, the girl gently shook her head, whispering, "You can''t help me." It was only then that Lin Tian realized the girl''s voice was actually very pleasant, as if it were a wind chime. Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, a hint of joy shing in his eyes¡ªjust getting her to speak was good. He then eagerly pressed, "Just say it, how do you know I can''t help you if you don''t speak!" The girl looked at Lin Tian, shook her head gently, and remained silent. "Why are you being like this, just say it, I''m really quite powerful!" Lin Tian kept pestering her. ... Ten minutester,pletely worn down by Lin Tian''s insistence, the girl looked at Lin Tian once more and spoke, "I want to kill someone!" "To kill someone?" Lin Tian was taken aback. Murder! This was a task Lin Tian had never even considered. Lin Tian was not the type who killed indiscriminately. Hesitating, Lin Tian then asked, "Who do you want to kill?" "A man named Zhong Han!" The girl looked at Lin Tian with a calm gaze. She had never really believed that Lin Tian could fulfill such a wish. She had only spoken up because he had been so persistent. "Zhong Han?" Hearing this name, Lin Tian was stunned, and with some astonishment, he said, "You mean the Zhong Han from Wang An Group?" Chapter 56 Im Here to Kill! The Wang An Group was the real estate conglomerate founded by Zhong Han''s father, Zhong An. And his son, Zhong Han, was working in it as well. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Xia lifted her head in some astonishment and looked at Lin Tian, "You know him too?" Through Wang Xia''s expression, Lin Tian confirmed that the Zhong Han she was talking about was indeed the same Zhong Han who had been harassing He Qianqian. "Heh, it really is a small world!" Lin Tian muttered under his breath. Lin Tian could have never imagined such a coincidence would ur. After some thought, Lin Tian looked up at Wang Xia and asked, "Why do you want to kill him?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, a sh of fear followed by a sh of hatred swept across Wang Xia''s eyes. After a moment of silence, Wang Xia said dryly, "He ruined my life!" Looking at Wang Xia''s gloomy face, Lin Tian kept silent and said nothing. He thought back to some rumors he had read online. The inte imed that Zhong Han was very lecherous, often raping girls and even killing a few. But because his family wielded so much power, he was always able to smooth things over. Initially, Lin Tian had some doubts, but after seeing his attitude towards He Qianqian and Wang Xia''s reaction today, Lin Tian suspected that the rumors online were very likely true. "If that is true..." Thinking this, a glint of murderous intent shed in Lin Tian''s eyes. After a moment of silence, looking at Wang Xia still engulfed in her pain, Lin Tian stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, softly consoling, "Don''t worry, I will help you." Having said that, Lin Tian braced himself and directly jumped down from the balcony. "Pat, pat..." Lin Tian quickly walked away. Watching Lin Tian hurry away, Wang Xia gently shook her head, sighed, and as memories seemed to resurge, tears slowly streamed down her face... She didn''t truly believe that Lin Tian could aplish it. She just thought Lin Tian wasforting her. After leaving the residential area where Wang Xia lived, Lin Tian hailed a cab and headed for the Zhong An Group. Lin Tian decided to go looking for Zhong Han right now; he didn''t want to wait any longer. Because with every day he waited, He Qianqian could possibly be in danger, and Lin Tian also wanted toplete the mission quickly. Since he didn''t know where Zhong Han was at the moment, nor did he know where his house was, Lin Tian could only start at hispany group to see if he could find any leads. Arriving at the Wang An Group building, Lin Tian got out of the cab and entered Invisibility in a secluded corner, then strutted towards the Wang An Group. At this time, most of the Wang An Group''s employees had already left work, leaving only a few who were on the night shift. Lin Tian walked in slowly, intending to search for what he needed. Half an hourter, Lin Tian came out of the Wang An Group, still in that quiet corner, and canceled his Invisibility. "Yanjing West Road..." Lin Tian murmured to himself as he walked towards a nearby taxi. Although he didn''t find Zhong Han at the Wang An Group, Lin Tian found out his home address. Twenty minutester, an invisible Lin Tian looked at the luxurious vi in front of him, scowled, and then vaulted over the perimeter wall. After ten minutes, Lin Tian climbed back out. In a secluded corner, Lin Tian turned off Invisibility and hailed a taxi at the roadside, "Driver, to Shanghai Road, Splendid Bar!" Once inside, Lin Tian found that Zhong Han was not at home. From chatting with the servants, Lin Tian learned this guy had actually gone out to a bar to have fun. Sitting in the backseat of the taxi, Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and called up the Superpower menu in his mind. He looked at each Superpower before him and finally fixed his gaze on one, "Level 1 Face-Changing Technique: Canpletely transform into another face for one hour. Exchange Superpower Points: 2 Supernatural Points." Looking at the Superpower, Lin Tian hesitated for a moment but eventually clicked to exchange. With Lin Tian''s current abilities, killing Zhong Han would be effortless. All he had to do was use Invisibility and be careful not to leave any evidence, ensuring no one would notice. Initially, Lin Tian had nned to do just that, but upon further contemtion, he decided otherwise. The power of the Zhong family in Jia''an City was immense, and as He Qianqian said, they held sway over both criminal and legitimate circles. If Zhong Han died, the Zhong family would surely seek revenge. And when seeking revenge, what would they do if they couldn''t find the culprit? The Zhong family mightsh out indiscriminately. Moreover, just yesterday, Lin Tian had a conflict with Zhong Han and even left his face swollen. If the Zhong family became suspicious of Lin Tian due to this and sought revenge, possibly implicating He Qianqian as well, that would onlyplicate matters further. So, if he was really going to kill Zhong Han, it was imperative to leave behind a clear target for the Zhong family''s retaliation, to prevent them from focusing their energy on someone else. It was for this reason that Lin Tian thought of using the Face-Changing Technique. As long as he changed his appearance, who would know what he had done? Let them be frantic.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om "Driver, stop here," Lin Tian suddenly said after exchanging for the Superpower. "But didn''t you say Shanghai Road?" the driver asked confusedly as he slowed to a stop by the roadside. "No need for change." Lin Tian handed him a hundred yuan note, opened the car door, and walked away. After getting out of the car, Lin Tian wandered around, then activated the Superpower in a deserted corner. With the activation of the Superpower, Lin Tian felt a warm flow on his face. After that, there were no more abnormalities. "Is that it?" Lin Tian questioned as he found a ss to look into. "This..." Lin Tian looked at the person in the mirror with some astonishment. The figure in the mirror was still his own, but his appearance hadpletely changed. He had turned into a man in his twenties. Seeing himself in the mirror, Lin Tian couldn''t find a trace of his own features. "Not bad!" Lin Tian nodded satisfyingly, quite pleased with the Superpower. Afterward, Lin Tian changed back into his own appearance, bought a set of new clothes at a supermarket, and a pair of gloves. In a deserted spot, Lin Tian changed into the clothes he had just bought and packed away his old ones before picking up a baseball bat. Then he stepped out, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Splendid Bar on Shanghai Road. Stepping into the noisy bar, Lin Tian made a beeline for the Peony Hall VIP room. From what the servant had said, Lin Tian knew that Zhong Han was inside right now. ** In the Peony Hall, holding a ss of red wine, Zhong Han bellowed, "Drink up!" "Drink!" someone immediately responded. Zhong Han gulped down the wine in his ss, not caring that the red liquid spilled from his mouth onto his clothes. "Has that matter been settled, Brother Zhong?" someone asked, eyeing Zhong Han''s swollen cheek as he spoke. "Settled? How could it be settled!" Zhong Han mmed his ss onto the table, his face menacing, "If it weren''t for the girl fromst time threatening to jump off a building and the old man at home not letting me out, I would have chopped that kid up tonight." "What if he has run away?" "What''s there to fear? Is He Qianqian not still here? Damn, that ***** is still acting holier-than-thou!" Zhong Han said viciously, anger shing in his eyes, "I thought about ying nice with her, but since she doesn''t appreciate it, how about I get the guys to take turns with her next time?" "Really?" someone by his side eximed in delight. "Hmph!" Zhong Han snorted coldly, remaining silent. Kicking the door open, Lin Tian''s gaze swept the room and furrowed his brow at the sight of a group of intoxicated men and women and the sound of Zhong Han''s ranting. Lin Tian''s eyes shifted, looking towards Zhong Han. He saw a young girl looking somewhat hazy in Zhong Han''s arms, and at this sight, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, a sh of murderous intent crossing his face! Murderous intent! This time, Lin Tian truly harbored the intention to kill. Initially, when Lin Tian hade here, he had been hesitant about whether to really kill Zhong Han. However, the scene before him cemented his resolve to kill. "Beast!" Lin Tian''s eyes glittered with icy murderous intent as he red coldly at Zhong Han. "Damn! Who is this kid, seeking death?" At this point, the others in the room also reacted, standing up and cursing as they advanced towards Lin Tian, some even picking up wine bottles from the table. "Hmph!" With a cold snort and without a trace of nervousness, Lin Tian slowly walked forward, his gaze still calm. "Kid, do you have a death wish? Do you know whose territory this is?" The man holding the wine bottle stopped in front of Lin Tian without striking him, a ferocious look on his face, possibly intimidated by Lin Tian''s calm demeanor. However, Lin Tian didn''t take his fierce expression seriously at all, ignoring himpletely and calmly stating to Zhong Han with his baseball bat in hand, "I''m here to kill someone!" Kill someone! Upon hearing these words, the room fell silent! After a brief silence,motion erupted in the room. "Thud thud..." Suddenly, a series of footsteps sounded from outside the room. With a whoosh, seven or eight burly men dressed in ck suits rushed into the room, each well over six feet tall and muscr. "What''s going on, Brother Zhong?" Upon entering, the leader-like figure in the ck suit asked the seated Zhong Han. Seeing the group of menacing men burst in, Zhong Han, who had been somewhat tense, rxedpletely. Zhong Han waved his hand dismissively at the burly men and while staring at Lin Tian, he slowly stood up, "You''re here to kill? Who do you want to kill? Me?" "Correct, but no prize!" Lin Tian calmly met his gaze, not giving a second nce to the ck-clothed men who had rushed in. "Is that so?" Zhong Han let out a scornfulugh, his eyes filled with malice as he stared at Lin Tian, "You want to kill me? Do you dare? Do you know whose turf this is? If you kneel now and beg for mercy, maybe I''ll spare your life." "Kid, you''re too arrogant. You don''t realize where you are. Do you think you can kill with that stick in your hand? Haha!" After the ck-clothed men arrived, other people in the private room also rxed, looking at Lin Tian with sarcasm. They thought Lin Tian was out of his mind. Not realizing where they were, this bar belonged to the Zhong family, it was their home ground, and he dared toe here to kill with a baseball bat? What a fool, right? Lin Tian looked at Zhong Han with indifference and, not bothering to waste words, reached out swiftly towards Zhong Han! Smack! Lin Tian''s hand was pped away by one of the ck-suited men who blocked him. "Attack!" the ck-d man bellowed. Then many people rushed at Lin Tian, punching and kicking. "Hmph!" Zhong Han watched coldly, waiting to see Lin Tian beg for mercy. But his satisfactionsted only seconds before he stared, dumbstruck, at the scene unfolding before his eyes. It wasn''t just Zhong Han; everyone else in the private room was also watching, their mouths agape, disbelieving. Incredulous faces all around. After about fifteen seconds, Lin Tian took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the soreness in his muscles. The space was too cramped for dodging, and those men were all physically strong. Inevitably, Lin Tian still received a few kicks, and someone even broke a wine bottle over his head. Lin Tian had sustained a few minor injuries. But it was only minor damage for Lin Tian, whereas all the ck-suited meny on the ground groaning, unable to get up. Zhong Han stared nkly at the scene, frozen. Damn! Was this guy even human? How could he fight like that? After a moment''s shock, Zhong Han snapped back to reality, only to find Lin Tian calmly walking towards him. Zhong Han involuntarily stepped back, forcing augh, "Big bro, let''s talk this over!" "Hmph!" Lin Tian snorted coldly, grabbing Zhong Han''s hair with forceful grip and yanking him over, pressing him forcefully against the coffee table. Leaning over, Lin Tian looked calmly into Zhong Han''s eyes and said softly, "You asked if I dare? What do you think now?" Chapter 57 Changes of the Supernatural Ability System His head was pressed against the coffee table by Lin Tian, feeling the explosive force from the other man''s hand. Zhong Han was somewhat panicked and hurriedly said, "Big brother, big brother! Don''t be impulsive, okay? Where have I offended you in the past? Little brother here will apologize! How much money do you want, I''ll give it all to you!" "Money? I don''t need it!" Lin Tian slowly shook his head and said with a chilling voice, "I want your life!" As he spoke, Lin Tian violently swung the baseball bat in his hand! Crack! "Ah!" Along with a scream, Zhong Han''s legs were directly broken by Lin Tian. "Damn! Fuck!" Zhong Han cursed crazily, twisting his body in a frantic struggle. At the same time, he yelled, "Damn it, someonee save me!" Lin Tian, with a cold face, grabbed Zhong Han''s hair and then smashed it hard against the coffee table! Bang! Blood sttered! Zhong Han''s screams came to an abrupt halt! Silence! The scene waspletely quiet! After a while, a woman''s piercing scream filled the scene, "Murderer!" At the same time, a drop of warm blood sshed onto Lin Tian''s face. Feeling the warmth on his face, Lin Tian''s initially excited heart quickly calmed down. He took a deep breath, cast a nce at Zhong Han, whoy motionless on the coffee table, and quickly walked away. After running a considerable distance, Lin Tian became invisible in a secluded corner. Then he changed back to his own appearance, put on his clothes, and walked out. Afterward, Lin Tian found a hotel, checked into a room, and took a thorough bath. This hot showersted a full half-hour before Lin Tian came out. Still, when Lin Tian came out of the bathroom, hisplexion was slightly pale. He had killed someone, his first time killing. Although Lin Tian thought the man didn''t deserve to live, after actually killing him, Lin Tian still felt somewhat nervous and flustered inside. "Whew!" Lin Tian took a deep breath andforted himself, "What I did was a public service, so don''t worry." Just as Lin Tian wasforting himself, suddenly a synthesized electronic voice rang in his mind, "Chain mission ''Fulfill Wang Xia''s wish'' has beenpleted, awarded one Supernatural Point." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled and after a moment, he realized that this meant that Zhong Han was truly dead. "Another Supernatural Point. That, along with the previous two points, means I now have three Supernatural Points," Lin Tian murmured to himself. "Three Supernatural Points..." Looking at the three points floating in his mind like golden beans, Lin Tian was hesitant whether to exchange them for a superpower or save them up. "I''ll save them for now; there''s no rush to use them," Lin Tian decided after some thought. Just as Lin Tian''s consciousness was about to leave his mind, a sudden synthetic electronic voice rang out, "The Supernatural Ability System has met the unlocking requirements and has been unlocked. Wee to view new functions." "Unlocked? What?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled. Then he quickly closed his eyes, focusing his consciousness inside his mind. As Lin Tian''s attention focused, a rush of information flowed into his mind. After a while, Lin Tian opened his eyes, with a sh of realization shining through. When Lin Tian first got ess to the Supernatural Ability System, he noticed that the superpowers listed were quite basic, totaling only twenty. Most importantly, all the abilities listed there were low-level superpowers. They were clearly the most basic. As for how to obtain high-level superpowers, Lin Tian had asked the system before, but the response was that he did not meet the conditions and thus could not unlock them. However, Lin Tian had justpleted the first of the chain tasks and had now met the system''s unlocking criteria. The system had naturally unlocked itself. "Let''s see what the new functions are." Lin Tian murmured as he reviewed the information in his mind, started to make sense of the unlocked Supernatural Ability System and how it differed from the previous one. After analyzing for a while, Lin Tian discovered that there was not much difference between the unlocked and the previous Supernatural Ability System. The only difference was that the unlocked system had gained two new abilities. The first ability was the enhancement of existing superpowers. For instance, Lin Tian currently had the first level of ''Ox Power Technique.'' To advance to the second level, he would need to use Supernatural Points to upgrade and strengthen it, what ismonly referred to as ''adding points.'' ording to the system''s information, the Supernatural Points required for the first level of enhancement ranged from 10 to 100 points. Enhancing a superpower meant opening the path to continuous strengthening of Lin Tian''s superpowers, allowing them to grow indefinitely. "That''s a great ability!" Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction, feeling the system''s new function. After checking out this new function for a while, Lin Tian then focused his attention on the second ability unlocked by the system: adding a new superpower! The second unlocked ability was to add new superpowers. Which means, whatever superpower Lin Tian wanted, he could now add it to the system. This meant that the superpowers Lin Tian possessed would no longer be limited to the initial twenty provided by the system. Seeing this new ability, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, murmuring, "What a great ability indeed!" Despite the fact that each new addition of a superpower required 10 Supernatural Points, Lin Tian still thought it was a great feature. Because it meant that Lin Tian had an endless supply of abilities! "Unexpected! Both unlocked abilities are so practical, quite a surprise indeed!" Seeing the two new abilities added to the Supernatural Ability System, Lin Tian was very satisfied. The emergence of these two abilities gave Lin Tian the potential for limitless growth. As long as he had enough Supernatural Points, maybe one day he really could punch Mars and kick the Earth! "It''s just that the Supernatural Pointse too slowly!" Lin Tian thought greedily. While Lin Tian was in his room researching the system''s new abilities, on the other side, He Qianqian, who couldn''t sleep, got up and turned on herputer, browsing the local forum out of boredom. Upon opening the forum, He Qianqian discovered a post that was getting a lot of attention. She was startled by the title, which read: "Real Pictures, Real Evidence. Reliable sources say Zhong Han of the Wang An Group was beaten up in a bar and pronounced dead after failed resuscitation efforts at the hospital!" "This..." He Qianqian stared nkly at the post, instinctively clicking on it. At the same time, Wang Xia, who also couldn''t sleep, happened to be browsing the local forum and saw the same post. ...n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Driven by curiosity, He Qianqian clicked on the post. As soon as she clicked it, the first things that caught her eye were a series of photos. These photos showed a chaotic bar with a surging crowd and a bloodstained floor. He Qianqian even saw Zhong Han being lifted onto an ambnce in one of the photos. Even though Zhong Han''s face was covered in blood and he looked very pale in the photo, He Qianqian recognized him at a nce. "Is he really dead?" He Qianqian mused nkly, finding it hard to believe that Zhong Han could be beaten to death in a bar. After a moment of shock, an image of Lin Tian appeared in He Qianqian''s mind. Thinking of Lin Tian, her expression changed abruptly, and she started reading the post''s details more carefully. Upon reading it, He Qianqian''s face turned noticeably pale. From the description in the post, He Qianqian realized that the man who beat up Zhong Han resembled Lin Tian in both height and build. "Please don''t let it be him!" The thought made He Qianqian anxiously grab her phone and hastily dial Lin Tian''s number. Based on what she knew about Lin Tian, it wasn''t entirely out of the question that he could do something this foolish. "Please don''t let it be you!" she thought, looking anxiously at the phone as she made the call. "Dudu..." The phone rang a few times before being picked up. "Hello, is this Lin Tian? Where are you right now?" He Qianqian asked urgently as soon as the call connected. "Me? I''m at home," Lin Tian said, his eyes shifting, as he answered casually. "Really?" He Qianqian asked doubtfully. "Really!" Lin Tian''s reply was firm, but his expression revealed some confusion. He sensed that He Qianqian seemed to know something. "You''re not lying to me?" He Qianqian asked again, still doubtful. "Of course not, why would I lie to you!" Lin Tian was very assertive in his response. Hearing Lin Tian''s affirmative answer again, and despite her suspicions, He Qianqian didn''t feel right pressing the matter further. After a moment''s hesitation, He Qianqian said, "Do you know? I just saw a piece of news online saying that Zhong Han was beaten to death in a bar." "Ah?" Lin Tian was startled, a thought shing through his mind. The news was online already? After a pause, Lin Tian asked, "Where did you see it?" "On the Jia''an forum," He Qianqian replied, somewhat uncertain, "I don''t know if the news online is true or not, it could be fake." "Oh, I''ll go take a look, hopefully it''s true," he said. "Hmm..." ... Lin Tian briefly chatted with He Qianqian a bit more before hanging up, then he quickly booted up the hotel''sputer to check. On the other side, He Qianqian reopened the post. By now, there were new photos on the thread. ncing at the new photos, He Qianqian saw a young man in his twenties who had a simr aura to Lin Tian, but lookedpletely different from him. Then He Qianqian scanned the caption under the photos: ording to the bar''s surveince, this man was the one who beat Zhong Han to death. Seeing this, He Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn''t Lin Tian, that was all that mattered. Meanwhile, Wang Xia was also perusing the thread. As she read the post, an image of the boy around her age surfaced in Wang Xia''s mind. "Could he have done this?" she wondered, slightly lost in her thoughts... On the other hand, Lin Tian had also opened hisputer and clicked on the post. As he scrolled through, Lin Tian found that the story told in the post was pretty close to the truth, closely matching the facts. After scanning the thread, Lin Tian closed it. As far as he was concerned, the issue was settled. There was no way the Zhong family could find him after he had changed his appearance. Now, Lin Tian began to ponder his next travel ns. Chapter 58 Another New Task? In the following days, the development of events basically unfolded as Lin Tian had envisioned. Since Zhong Han''s death, the Jia''an City police had established a special case team, but they hade up empty-handed. During this period, Lin Tian also realized no one suspected him. After all, both the police and the Zhong family had direct targets and naturally would not suspect Lin Tian. After waiting a few days and confirming that the incident wouldn''t implicate him, Lin Tian pulled out his phone and called He Qianqian. Over an hourter, there was a knock on Lin Tian''s room door. Lin Tian cracked a slight smile and opened the door. Seeing Lin Tian inside the room, He Qianqian heaved a sigh of relief, walked in, and thenined, "Why did youe over here again!" ... "Qianqian, you shoulde out with me during the summer vacation. You''re not busy at home anyway." He Qianqian rested her head on Lin Tian''s chest, her fingers lightly tracing circles there. "Stop that, it tickles! Answer my question," Lin Tian swatted away He Qianqian''s hand, slightly annoyed. He Qianqian stopped moving her hand and looked hesitant hearing Lin Tian''s words. Actually, she also didn''t want to stay at home anymore. It was quite boring at home, and the incident with Zhong Han made her even less keen on staying. Seeing He Qianqian''s hesitant expression, Lin Tian knew he had a chance and quickly said, "Come with me, let''s go to Hainan to see the sea and swim!" "But I don''t have much money on me right now¡­" Hearing about Hainan raised He Qianqian''s interest, but then she thought about her financial situation. Previously, He Qianqian''s mother''s medical expenses had consumed a lot of money, even forcing them to borrow externally, leaving He Qianqian practically penniless. "You don''t need to worry about money, I''ve got you covered!" Lin Tian chuckled. "Where did you get the money?" He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression. "Won it from scratch-off lottery tickets!" Lin Tian said, smiling proudly. Five dayster, on the beaches of Wuya in Hainan, Lin Tian was applying sunscreen on He Qianqian''s body. Lin Tian chuckled, pulling his hand away. Having broken through thest barrier, Lin Tian naturally knew where He Qianqian''s sensitive spots were. After finishing with the sunscreen, Lin Tiany on a beach chair, closed his eyes, and said with relishment, "This is sofortable!" Smelling the breeze with a hint of the sea, and feeling the gentle sunlight, everything felt splendid. "It''s been a long time since Ist came to Hainan. Thest time was when I was in college," He Qianqian, wearing sunsses, saidfortably lying on a beach chair. Lin Tian smiled slightly, remaining silent. Just as Lin Tian was about to put on sunsses to fully enjoy the moment, a distant cry suddenly reached his ears, "Someone''s drowning, help!" Hearing this, Lin Tian startled and sat up. He Qianqian, who was next to him, also heard the cry for help and sat up as well. By this time, many people were already running forward. Lin Tian''s eyesight was excellent, and looking ahead, he saw a small ck dot in the sea struggling desperately. "Let''s go take a look," said He Qianqian after a moment''s hesitation, standing up and walking forward. Seeing He Qianqian leaving, Lin Tian stood up and followed. But just after a few steps, suddenly a synthetic electronic voice sounded in his mind, "Mission: Rescue the drowning Wang Luodan. Mission Reward: One Superpower Point." Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback, a mission again? After a moment of shock, Lin Tian quickly strode forward. By the time Lin Tian reached the seaside, that ck dot had already disappeared.N?v(el)B\\jnn Seeing this, Lin Tian knew Wang Luodan had already submerged. As Lin Tian observed, many people were already running toward the sea to attempt a rescue, along with some yachts heading over as well. But by then, the girl was no longer visible. Lin Tian squinted his eyes slightly. Despite the sea water hindering his view, Lin Tian could still vaguely see a red dot. It was the flickering mission red light on Wang Luodan. However, by this time the red light had be increasingly blurred. Seeing the red light starting to blur, Lin Tian hesitated no longer, turned to He Qianqian, and said urgently, "I''m going to check it out, wait for me here." Seeing Lin Tian rush over in a sh, by the time He Qianqian reacted, Lin Tian had already run quite a distance. "Really!" He Qianqian stomped her foot lightly, somewhat annoyed. Lin Tian hurried forward, and when the seawater reached his chest, he decisively swam across. Whosh! Whosh! By then, Lin Tian had already abandoned the awkward dog paddle and had learned to freestyle. Lin Tian was very fast, and in just a few seconds, he reached the spot where the girl had sunk just moments before. By now, there were already some people on the sea surface and some yachts running over. Floating on the sea, Lin Tian scanned around and noticed that the red dot was no longer below but was about five or six meters ahead, clearly having been swept away by the seawater. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and swam straight over. Reaching above the girl, Lin Tian immediately dived. A few secondster, Lin Tian surfaced with a ssh, gasping for air intensely. Lin Tian looked somewhat astonished. He had just realized that saving someone was not so easy. The water below was at least seven or eight meters deep, and the person''s body was also moving with the seawater. With Lin Tian''s diving skills, it was simply impossible to save her. He hesitated for a moment, then summoned the superpower menu in his mind. ncing at the superpower menu, Lin Tian''s eyes settled on an option: "Aquatic Lung: Allows you to breathe freely underwater for an hour. Requires 2 Supernatural Points to exchange." "If it costs two Supernatural Points, so be it, I''ll get some use out of this skillter anyway!" Though somewhat reluctant to spend the Supernatural Points, Lin Tian decisively chose to exchange them. Right after exchanging the superpower, Lin Tian dived immediately. Underwater, Lin Tian tentatively breathed in through his nose, and as he breathed, a stream of seawater entered his nostrils, but instead of choking, it felt like a surge of gas was forming inside his body. As Lin Tian expelled the breath, a stream of water came out of his nostrils. That was the seawater he had just inhaled. It worked! Feeling the change in his body, a trace of joy crossed Lin Tian''s face, and without hesitation, he swam straight toward the girl. ... By now, the sea surface was inplete chaos, with people asionally diving into the water to search for the girl, but all to no avail. They had no idea the girl had been swept away by the seawater to another location. At the shore, He Qianqian was waiting anxiously. "Damn, little brat! Telling you to show off!" He Qianqian kicked the sandy beach hard with her crystal-clear little foot, her small face showing annoyance. He Qianqian hated that Lin Tian had run off to y the hero. What if something happened to him? Time passed by slowly, and ten minutester, everyone still found nothing. By now, many people were starting to feel that the girl was beyond saving. Having not found her after such a long time, they thought her body must have been swept away by the sea to an unknown location. "Luodan, please let nothing have happened to you!" Just as He Qianqian was anxiously waiting, suddenly a sorrowful cry arose from nearby. Turning her head, He Qianqian saw a man in his thirties nearby, staring at the sea with a pained expression, his demeanor very sad. He Qianqian frowned, the cry adding to her irritation. He Qianqian anxiously watched the sea, her eyebrows tightly knit. "Look, what is that!" Suddenly, an excited shout rang out among the crowd. Hearing this, He Qianqian quickly looked in the direction the person was pointing. Off in the distance, she saw a person holding a limp girl with one arm, swimming quickly toward the shore with the other. Seeing this person, a trace of joy shed across He Qianqian''s face. "Whew!" Lin Tian held the unconscious girl with one arm, swimming swiftly with the other. "So big!" Lin Tian thought erratically as he swam swiftly toward the shore. A few secondster, Lin Tian reached the shore andid the girl on the beach. At this point, everyone crowded around. Putting the girl on the beach, Lin Tian scanned her and noticed that the red glow on her body had dimmed a bit. Following his actions, a gush of seawater spurted from the girl''s mouth. After pressing a few more times and feeling it was about enough, Lin Tianid the girl''s body back down on the sand. Chapter 59 I Want a Divorce Immediately When Lin Tian was in high school, he had the highest grades and the school even organized a lesson on CPR, and at that time the teacher dramatically imed that Tian performed the movements most urately. So Lin Tian''s rescue moves on the girl were very standard. "Whoosh!" Lin Tian took a deep breath into the girl''s mouth, then immediately released her nostrils and began to press on her chest. "Whoosh, whoosh!" He repeated this process. A few minutester, Lin Tian felt the girl''s hand touch her own neck artery, and he could feel its pulse. A trace of joy shed across Lin Tian''s face as he continued to perform CPR. By then, quite a crowd had gathered around Lin Tian, and He Qianqian also ran over. At that moment, Lin Tian was too focused to pay attention to anything else and kept performing the rescue. Your next chapter is on empire "Whoosh, whoosh!" As he continued the CPR, suddenly, the girl''s delicate eyebrows began to quiver, as though she was about to wake up. "She''s awake! She''s awake!" Suddenly, someone excitedly pointed at the girl and shouted. Following this person''s deration, Wang Luodan''s eyshes began to flutter, and soon, a pair of beautifulrge eyes opened. She truly was awake! Seeing this, apuse broke out from the crowd. He Qianqian also smiled and pped. As Lin Tian stood up, another round of apuse erupted from the crowd. "Luodan!" Suddenly, an excited male voice called out, and a man in his thirties pushed through the crowd and ran towards her. As soon as he arrived, he threw himself on the girl and burst into tears. But Lin Tian noticed that when the man arrived, the girl''s face showed no happiness; instead, there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes as she looked at him. Seeing this, although somewhat puzzled, Lin Tian did not dwell on it. The girl had been saved, the Supernatural Points were secured, and his task wasplete. "Lin Tian..." Just as Lin Tian was about to check the taskpletion prompt he had just remembered, suddenly, He Qianqian''s crisp voice rang out next to him. Turning around, Lin Tian saw He Qianqian pouting somewhat displeasedly at him. He Qianqian raised her small fist and punched Lin Tian''s shoulder, teeth clenched, "Do you know how worried I was just now?" "Hehe, sorry!" Lin Tian wrapped his arms around He Qianqian,ughing somewhat apologetically. Being embraced by Lin Tian, He Qianqian suddenly opened her mouth wide and bit fiercely into his shoulder. "Sss~!" Lin Tian grimaced in pain. It hurt, but he dared not tense his muscles and let He Qianqian bite him. After a while, He Qianqian, looking like she was teaching him a lesson, said, "Let''s see if you dare to disobey me again." Lin Tian was speechless; he turned his head and noticed the red marks of teeth on his shoulder. Although it was painful, Lin Tian was somewhat happy because, before, He Qianqian wouldn''t show such a girlish attitude in front of him. Thinking of this, Lin Tian chuckled, wrapped his arms around He Qianqian''s slim waist, and whispered, "Wife, you''ve bitten me. Wait and see how I''ll discipline you tonight!" "What did you say, stop joking around, who''s your wife, you little kid!" Saying this, He Qianqian giggled, pinched Lin Tian on the waist, and ran away barefoot. "Humph! Where am I small, you''ll know tonight how ''great'' I am." Seeing He Qianqian running off, Lin Tian quickly followed her, calling out as he walked and ran. "Shut up!" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a mix of embarrassment and anger. ... After some yful banter, Lin Tian, with his arm around He Qianqian''s waist, said with a grin, "Wife, let''s go rest a bit, we should save some energy for tonight!" "What are you talking about!" He Qianqian somewhat angrily pinched Lin Tian''s waist. The next day, Lin Tian and He Qianqian didn''t go to the beach but instead went shopping in Wuya. Lin Tian naturally had no objections to this suggestion. After shopping all morning, the pair prepared to have lunch at a seafood restaurant. ncing at the menu and feeling that the prices were reasonable, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, ready to order. He had heard of overcharging in Wuya stores before, but so far, he hadn''t encountered anything outrageous. Half an hourter, Lin Tian was wrestling with arge lobster. While eating, he nodded in satisfaction, "Not bad, quite fresh!" While speaking, Lin Tian looked up and noticed that He Qianqian was looking at something, so he asked in confusion, "Why aren''t you eating? What are you looking at?" Lin Tian then turned his head to look in the direction He Qianqian was looking. "Hmm?" As he turned his head, Lin Tian was stunned, seeing a familiar face. "Isn''t that the girl you savedst time?" He Qianqian''s voice came from beside him. Staring at the girl for a moment, Lin Tian nodded. "It''s her." At that moment, Lin Tian noticed that the girl''splexion seemed somewhat haggard, her pretty little face filled with fatigue. She was having a meal with a man, the very same man who had been sobbing on top of herst time. "These two seem to be arguing!" After a nce at the two of them, He Qianqian spoke with some confusion. "Mind your own business!" Lin Tian also noticed that the two seemed to be arguing, but he didn''t care¡ªit wasn''t his problem. It was better to go back to wrestling with his lobster. Seeing Lin Tian turn back to continue his battle with the lobster, appearing utterly uninterested, He Qianqian looked at him with some surprise, "Aren''t you a bit curious?"N?v(el)B\\jnn "Curious about what?" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian in confusion, then continued to lower his head and wrestle with the lobster. "She is a beauty, and you, you lecher, aren''t curious?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with doubt. "There are plenty of beauties in the world, how can I care about each one of them?" Lin Tian said indifferently, shrugging his shoulders before picking up another lobster. "Really? So when you gave that girl CPR the other day, you were having a great time, weren''t you?" He Qianqian watched Lin Tian. Lin Tian, holding a lobster, paused and thought for a moment, then nodded, "You know, I didn''t think so at the time, but looking back, it was kind of thrilling." "You!" He Qianqian, infuriated, reached out and pinched Lin Tian hard on the waist. "Ah! It hurts!" Lin Tian immediately cried out in pain, not daring to resist, he had to let He Qianqian pinch him. It really hurt. "Does it hurt? Now you know it hurts? Still dare to?" He Qianqian red coldly at Lin Tian. "I wouldn''t dare, I wouldn''t dare." Lin Tian quickly begged for mercy. "Hmph!" Seeing Lin Tian begging for mercy, He Qianqian snorted coldly and let go. While rubbing his sore waist, Lin Tian muttered to himself, "It was you who brought up the topic, I talk and then you turn on me. Women...speechless..." "What''s that look?" He Qianqian red at Lin Tian. "Ah? Nothing." Lin Tian quickly adjusted his expression, muttering quietly, "Tonight, I''ll show you how formidable I am! Hmph!" Ten minutester, feeling he had eaten enough and also feeling the urge to urinate, Lin Tian said, "I''m going to the restroom." "Hmm." He Qianqian, who was eating a crab, nodded her head. As he passed by Wang Luodan''s table on the way to the restroom, Lin Tian noticed that the two seemed to be arguing even more intensely. They didn''t notice Lin Tian. After a nce at the two of them, Lin Tian didn''t bother. It was none of his business. After relieving himself and when Lin Tian came out, he found the two arguing even more intensely. "I want a divorce right now!" Wang Luodan looked at Wang Tao with some annoyance. "That''s impossible, don''t push me! Push me further, and believe it or not, I''ll kill you!" Wang Tao stared at Wang Luodan with a cold face. "You!" Fuming with anger, Wang Luodan grabbed a ss of water from the table and sshed it on Wang Tao''s face. Ssh! Wang Tao''s face was immediately covered with water droplets, looking very embarrassed. Already somewhat annoyed, Wang Tao became furious in an instant and swung his hand to hit her, cursing, "Foul bitch!" Smack! Wang Tao''s hand was caught mid-air and couldn''t move. A hand tightly held Wang Tao''s wrist. Holding onto Wang Tao''s wrist, Lin Tian spoke calmly, "Hitting a woman? Isn''t that a bit too far?" Chapter 60 I Can "Hit a woman? Isn''t that a bit much?" Lin Tian asked, holding Wang Tao''s wrist lightly. His wrist suddenly seized, Wang Tao turned in anger, only to find himself facing a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, which intensified his fury as he bellowed, "Brat, get lost!" As he spoke, Wang Tao started to struggle fiercely, trying to free his wrist from Lin Tian''s grip. But Lin Tian''s strength was not something Wang Tao could easily escape. Feeling Wang Tao''s futile struggle, a faint smirk appeared on Lin Tian''s face. "You!" Wang Tao jerked his arm again in desperation, his face turning somewhat reddish from exertion. Seeing Wang Tao''s strenuous efforts, an idea shed through Lin Tian''s mind, and he gently rxed his grip. Thud! Because he had been using too much force, when Lin Tian suddenly let go, Wang Tao couldn''t control his strength and fell backwards, crashing into the chair behind him. Hended heavily on the ground. Looking at Wang Tao''s disheveled state, Lin Tian said innocently, "It wasn''t my fault; I let go. You fell on your own!" Knocked down by his own force, Wang Tao felt a fiery pain in his buttocks. Seeing Lin Tian''s feigned innocent expression, he became so enraged that he suddenly stood up, grabbed the chair from the ground, and swung it at Lin Tian''s head, yelling, "Son of a bitch!" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, his muscles tensed instantly, and as the chair came down, he ducked quickly and darted in front of Wang Tao. Lin Tian thrust his knee! "Oh!" Wang Tao immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, clutching it with both hands as he fell to the ground in agony. Lin Tian shook his head slightly, "Why bother?" "You..." Hearing Lin Tian''s dismissive words, Wang Tao was furious to death but the pain in his abdomen made it hard for him to speak. Everything happened so quickly that by the time Wang Luodan reacted, Wang Tao was already knocked down by Lin Tian. Wang Luodan looked on somewhat nkly before her gaze turned curious toward Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Luodan thought he looked familiar. After reflecting for a moment, her eyes brightened slightly, looking at Lin Tian in surprise, "You''re the one from yesterday¡­" "Yes, I saved you yesterday. I even gave you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation!" Lin Tian was always enthusiastic towards beautiful women. "Uh..." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Luodan''s face flushed red. She had also heard that the boy who saved her had given her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. "Phew!" After a few seconds of catching his breath, Wang Tao finally managed to gather himself, though his abdomen still hurt, enough for him to stand up. The moment he stood up, he heard the conversation between Lin Tian and Wang Luodan, which made him even angrier. He grabbed a tea cup from the table and was about to throw it at Lin Tian. Seeing this, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, his gaze calm as he warned, "You''d better not do that." "You..." Wang Tao was furious. He wanted to explode but then remembered Lin Tian''s moves. Lin Tian''s speed had been too quick; in the blink of an eye, he had vanished, only to reappear in front of him. Realizing he couldn''t beat Lin Tian, Wang Tao forcefully suppressed his rage. He red fiercely at Lin Tian and said through clenched teeth, "Fine! You... just you wait!" With that, Wang Tao left with a livid expression. Seeing this scene, Luodan''s heart was somewhat panicked, and she promptly warned Lin Tian, "You better go now. He must have called for someone, he knows some people from outside." "Yeah, I know. Thanks," Lin Tian responded with a slight smile. "Um..." Hesitating for a moment, Luodan looked at Lin Tian and said, "About yesterday... thank you for that." "No problem!" Lin Tian responded nonchntly, waving his hand, "It was nothing." "Okay, you should go now. I have something to do first, thank you," Luodan said, nodding at Lin Tian, then turned around and left. Turning his head to watch Luodan leave, Lin Tian noticed she had a nice figure, especially the way her buttocks moved. "Have you had enough look!" Just when Lin Tian was engrossed, a cold voice came from behind him. "Oh..." Lin Tian''s expression stiffened, and he awkwardly turned his head. Turning his head, he saw an icy-faced He Qianqian. He Qianqian, annoyed, scolded Lin Tian, "Why are you fighting again?" "I saw him hitting a woman, I couldn''t help but step in," Lin Tian said somewhat awkwardly. "Hitting a woman? I think you can''t stand seeing a beauty getting hit," He Qianqian said coldly. After being around him so long, He Qianqian already knew Lin Tian was a flirtatious charmer. "Not really," Lin Tian said, scratching his head sheepishly. "Fine, I can''t really say much to you," He Qianqian said, shaking her head in resignation, then continued, "Let''s pay up now; I don''t want to be stuck here by others." "Yeah." Lin Tian naturally had no objections. They were almost done eating anyway. Lin Tian then went to pay the bill, and he and He Qianqian turned around and left the small restaurant. After walking not more than fifty meters, Lin Tian suddenly heard a flurry of rapid footsteps behind him, as if many people were running their way. Hearing this noise, Lin Tian paused, turned his head, and looked. As he turned, he saw seven or eight people running swiftly towards them, with Wang Tao leading the group. "Kid, don''t run!" Spotting Lin Tian had already noticed them, Wang Tao shouted angrily and sped up. "They''re quick!" Lin Tian hadn''t expected them to arrive so fast. Since they had alreadye after him, Lin Tian didn''t go anywhere but waited for them to approach. A few secondster, Wang Tao and his group huffily surrounded Lin Tian and hispanion. "Kid, was it you who hit my brother?" another man, in his thirties, neck adorned with a thumb-sized gold chain, asked as he tilted his head to stare coldly at Lin Tian. Used to being surrounded, Lin Tian''s face showed no hint of nervousness; he shook his head, calmly advising them, "I suggest you guys better just leave on your own." "What?" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, the leader stood stunned before him, unable toprehend. Seeing the man didn''t understand, Lin Tian had to exin again, "I''m saying it''s better for you to leave on your own, so I don''t have to make you leave by force!" "..." Everyone paused, taking a moment before they realized what Lin Tian meant. Understanding what Lin Tian meant, the leader instantly became enraged, cursing, "Damn, ying tough with me!" With that, he reached out to grab Lin Tian''s cor. Seeing the handing towards him, Lin Tian, with a stern face, caught it with a smack, then twisted it back! "Ah!" Apanied by a scream from the man, Lin Tian directly twisted him down to the ground. Seeing the boss make his move, the others rushed forward. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and quickly charged forward. Punching and kicking! Bang, bang! In just a few seconds, all seven men were down, leaving only Wang Tao standing in ce, dumbfounded. "This..." Wang Tao stared nkly at the fallen men, then at Lin Tian who looked indifferent, and waspletely stunned. That was exaggerated. After ncing at the somewhat stunned Wang Tao, Lin Tian pped him across the face! p! Instantly, a bright red handprint appeared on Wang Tao''s face. Feeling the fiery pain on his face, Wang Tao was annoyed but dared not say anything. Lin Tian''s performance had been too dazzling, knocking down seven people in just a few seconds. Not even special forces could do that. Knowing Lin Tian''s skills, despite being hit, Wang Tao managed to hold back and stayed silent. "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked at Wang Tao, somewhat surprised that thetter hadn''t mouthed off at him. Seeing that Wang Tao was sensible, Lin Tian decided not to bully him further, and turned to He Qianqian standing nearby, "Let''s go." He Qianqian pouted her lips, said nothing, and followed Lin Tian as he turned and left. On the way, He Qianqian couldn''t help but nag, "Lin Tian, really, try to fight less in the future, don''t be too impulsive." "I know, I didn''t want to just now. They came at me on their own," Lin Tian said somewhat helplessly. Sighing, He Qianqian didn''t know what to say. She knew there were some things that no matter what she said, Lin Tian just couldn''t do. ** At night, after He Qianqian had fallen asleep, Lin Tian immersed his consciousness in his mind. As Lin Tian focused his consciousness in his mind, an electronic synthetic voice immediately rang out, "Mission: Help Luodan Wang get a divorce. This mission is part of a series of follow-up missions, with a reward of one Supernatural Point forpletion and deduction of one Supernatural Point for failure." After reading the mission again, Lin Tian opened his eyes. Earlier in the day, the reason Lin Tian had intervened wasn''t just because he couldn''t bear to see Luodan Wang getting hit, but also because this mission had popped up in his mind at the time. It was this mission that had prompted Lin Tian. "Another follow-up mission hase up," he mused, lying in bed. Thinking this, Lin Tian turned his head as if observing something. Eventually, Lin Tian''s gaze settled on his left side. On his left, Lin Tian could see a shing red dot in the distance. That was the mission glow flickering on Luodan Wang. The glow of a follow-up mission could be seen by Lin Tian no matter how far the distance, just like the mission glow on Wang Xia before. Explore stories on empire "While Qianqian is asleep, I might as well go check it out," he thought, ncing at the sleeping He Qianqian before quietly getting up. After getting dressed, Lin Tian became invisible and quietly opened the door to leave. The reason he left invisibly was that he didn''t want the hotel''s cameras to capture him leaving. He left the hotel stealthily and, in a secluded corner where no one was around, Lin Tian deactivated his invisibility. Lin Tian confirmed the direction of the flickering red dot, then hailed a cab towards Luodan Wang''s location. Twenty minutester, Lin Tian got out of the taxi. After alighting, Lin Tian scanned the residential area in front of him. ording to the red dot''s guidance, Luodan Wang was inside. After scanning the area, Lin Tian walked straight in. The security at the apartmentplex was not strict; even though there were guards, they did not stop anyone from entering. After entering theplex, Lin Tian walked around and finally pinpointed the location of Luodan Wang. To Lin Tian''s surprise, Luodan Wang was on the second floor, a distance he could easily climb. Looking around to check if the coast was clear, Lin Tian sprinted and climbed directly onto the second-floor balcony. Upon climbing onto the balcony, Lin Tian faintly heard arguing voices from inside, "Wang Tao, I''m begging you, let''s get a divorce." "I''ve said, that''s impossible." "I really don''t want to be with you anymore. What you did at the sea that day, don''t think I don''t know. My falling into the water waspletely your doing!" "I didn''t!" "You didn''t? It was you, all because of the huge idental insurance on me. You wanted that money to pay off your gambling debts!" ... Luodan Wang''s words silenced the room. Hearing this, a realization flickered through Lin Tian''s eyes. After a moment of silence, a somewhat hoarse voice came from the room, "Yes, I did all of it. I just didn''t think you would survive." "Then there''s nothing more to talk about. Let''s get a divorce." "But I regretted it. You don''t know how tormented, how regretful I was when you fell into the water!" "Spare me, if you really had a sliver of regret, you wouldn''t have talked about killing me today." "No, I was just agitated, I didn''t mean it!" "Enough, I''ve seen through you! I must get a divorce." "Impossible!" Wang Tao was very firm. "Then what will make you agree?" After a pause, Wang Tao''s voice came through, "Unless you help me get two million to pay off my debts!" "Where am I supposed to get that much money!" Luodan Wang''s annoyed voice came through the room.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Hearing this, Lin Tian pretty much understood the situation, so he hesitated no longer, stepping out from the balcony and softly said to the quarreling couple, "I can!" Chapter 61 Decisive Victory at the Casino "I can!" Lin Tian''s voice wasn''t loud, but it silenced the room! Wang Luodan turned her head in shock, staring at Lin Tian incredulously, "You, how did you get in here?" "Me?" Lin Tian spread his hands and nodded toward the balcony, "I climbed in from there." "Climbed in?" Wang Luodan looked astonished, instinctively ncing toward the balcony window. The security on the balcony was open today; could he have climbed in from above? Wang Tao watched Lin Tian with surprise, his eyes flickering. He seemed to be pondering something. Seeing the various expressions of the two, Lin Tian didn''t want to waste time. He addressed Wang Tao directly, "Aren''t you two hundred million in debt to the casino? I''ll help you. Just agree to divorce her after I help you pay back the gambling debts, okay?" Wang Tao stared at Lin Tian bewildered, taking a moment to understand the meaning. After a pause, Wang Tao turned irritably toward Wang Luodan, "What''s all this about?" "I don''t know either. Besides him saving me from drowning that day, I really don''t know him," Wang Luodan said with a puzzled face at Lin Tian''s appearance. Hearing their conversation, Lin Tian knew that Wang Tao was suspecting a rtionship between him and Wang Luodan. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian exined, "I have nothing to do with her. I''m just a good person who wants to help." ncing at Lin Tian, Wang Tao inly didn''t believe him. A good person? So good that he hade to someone''s home? Noticing Wang Tao''s expression but not wanting to exin, Lin Tian simply asked again, "I said, if I helped you repay the gambling debts, you would divorce her, is that right?" After scanning Lin Tian, Wang Tao nodded nonchntly, "That''s right!" He didn''t believe Lin Tian coulde up with two hundred million unless the other party was a second-generation rich kid. "Very well," Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction upon hearing Wang Tao''s answer, "Let''s go then." "Where to?" Wang Tao looked somewhat taken aback. "To the casino!" said Lin Tian, as he quickly stepped forward, grabbed Wang Tao by the arm, and started pulling him out of the room. "What are you doing!" Wang Tao asked anxiously. "Juste with me!" Lin Tian, not in the mood for talking, simply dragged him toward the door. Reaching the door, Lin Tian opened it and pulled him outside. Knowing Lin Tian''s capabilities, Wang Tao didn''t dare resist forcibly and reluctantly followed him out. In just a moment, the room was left with only Wang Luodan, who was still confused. To this moment, Wang Luodan still couldn''t quite understand what was happening. Lin Tian pulled Wang Tao quickly towards the exit of the residential area. Once outside, Lin Tian hailed a cab and pulled Wang Tao into the back seat with him. "State the address!" Lin Tian nced at Wang Tao. By then, Wang Tao had calmed down and spoke to the driver, "To Qiaotou Vige." As the car slowly started moving, Wang Tao turned to Lin Tian, his curiosity apparent, "Are you nning to go there and pay the money?" "That''s right," Lin Tian leaned back in the seat and nodded faintly. "You''re carrying that much money on you?" Wang Tao asked curiously. Lin Tian didn''t look like the wealthy second-generation rich kid. "Two hundred million? No," Lin Tian nced at Wang Tao and spoke calmly. "No? Then¡­" Wang Tao was taken aback upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. "It''s a casino, isn''t it? Money can be made there!" Knowing what Wang Tao meant, Lin Tian spoke indifferently. His tone was very calm. Ever since he knew that Wang Tao owed the casino two hundred million, Lin Tian had an idea. He definitely didn''t have that much, and even if he did, he didn''t want to spend so much. But since it was a casino, he could earn some no-capital business there. With his irvoyant ability, Lin Tian believed he could easily make a fortune. However, Wang Tao didn''t know any of this and sneered when he heard Lin Tian was nning to earn money at the casino, not taking him seriously. Despite this, he didn''t say anything to persuade otherwise. He still remembered the lesson he had learned from Lin Tian. Lin Tian suffering a loss at the casino was what he was looking forward to. Although he knew Lin Tian was formidable, he didn''t believe that Lin Tian could outsmart the casino. The casino''s influence in Qiao Family Vige was not something to be trifled with by mere ruffians. Had it not been for the sheer power of the casino, Wang Tao wouldn''t have thought of resorting to murderous schemes to settle his gambling debts. He couldn''t avoid them due to their overwhelming influence! Thinking of this, Wang Tao even began to look forward to reaching the casino sooner, hoping to see Lin Tian experience a setback. Half an hourter, the taxi pulled up in a rural area. Lin Tian alighted with Wang Tao, looked around, and spoke faintly, "Lead the way." Stay connected through empire Without a word, Wang Tao led Lin Tian straight ahead. Turning left and right, after walking for five or six minutes, Wang Tao brought Lin Tian into a building. Seeing this building, a glint of surprise shed in Lin Tian''s eyes. The building was grand, and thendscaping was well done, resembling a vi. He also spotted several luxury cars outside. Through all this, Lin Tian gained some understanding of the casino''s influence. Without significant backing, they wouldn''t dare be so conspicuous. Wang Tao led Lin Tian into the building, then skillfully headed upstairs. Upon reaching the second floor, Lin Tian immediately noticed the hustle and bustle. In the second-floor hall, there were many people with various gambling paraphernalia. "You can exchange for chips over there, the casino is right ahead," Wang Tao exined. "Right!" Lin Tian nodded, following Wang Tao inside, then took out his bank card and exchanged it for a hundred thousand in chips. Seeing Lin Tian take out a hundred thousand in a single go, Wang Tao''s face showed a trace of surprise. He hadn''t expected Lin Tian to be able to produce such an amount so readily. With chips in hand, Lin Tian twirled them idly, contemting what game to y. After a round, Lin Tian stopped at a table. This table was set up for ying ckjack. ckjack was a simple game, and Lin Tian had yed it before. Most importantly, it was a card game, and his irvoyant abilities would be wholly applicable. Deciding on ckjack, Lin Tian spotted an empty chair nearby and took a seat. As Lin Tian sat down, Wang Tao, following behind, snorted, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He was ready to enjoy the show. Lin Tian paid no attention to Wang Tao behind him and settled in to wait for the croupier to deal the cards. The rules of ckjack are straightforward; the game typically uses 1 to 8 decks of cards. The banker dealt two cards to every yer, one face-up called the "upcard", and one face-down called the "hole card"; for themselves, one hole card and one upcard. The calction of the poker points in everyone''s hands is as follows: K, Q, J, and 10 are all counted as 10 points. The Ace can be counted either as 1 point or as 11 points, at the yer''s discretion. All other cards from 2 to 9 are counted at face value. First, the yers start to hit for cards. If a yer''s first two cards are an Ace and a 10-point card, they have a ckjack; at this time, if the banker does not have ckjack, the yer can win twice their bet (at 2 to 1). yers without ckjack can continue to hit for more cards, as many as they wish. The goal is toe as close to 21 points as possible, the closer the better, with the best being exactly 21 points. If, during the process of hitting, the total of all cards exceeds 21 points, the yer loses¡ªit''s called busting¡ªand the game ends for them. If the banker busts, then they have lost. If they don''t bust, then the points arepared, and the higher total wins. A push urs with equal points, allowing yers to retrieve their bets. It wasn''t long after Lin Tian sat down that the previous round had already ended. The next round began, and the female croupier started dealing cards. The female croupier, d in a ck uniform, dealt the cards and said, "Everyone can ce their bets, with a minimum of one thousand and a maximum of one hundred thousand." Rustle rustle~ The croupier dealt the cards swiftly. Before long, each of the six people had been dealt two cards. Among the six, one was the banker. Lin Tian nced at the banker, a man with a buzz cut.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om Lin Tian scanned the banker''s upcard on the table, it was a 10. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly as he activated his irvoyant ability. As soon as Lin Tian''s superpower was activated, he could directly see the banker''s card hidden in the back: a K. "A 10 on top and a K in the back makes 20 points. That''s a good hand." Seeing the banker''s cards, Lin Tian frowned a little. What a good hand indeed. In ckjack, 21 points is the highest, and now that the banker has 20 points, it could be said it''s a big hand. With a slight frown, Lin Tian nced at the cards on his own table. His upcard was an 8, and Lin Tian flipped over the hole card to find it was a 10. "Eighteen points, that''s a pretty bad hand!" Seeing his own cards, Lin Tian frowned. Eighteen points were not too small, but Lin Tian, knowing what the banker had, knew that if he didn''t hit, he would certainly lose. And if he did hit, it would be very easy to bust. Because if the total of the cards in hand exceeded 21 points, it would be a bust, and thus a loss. "Please ce your bets!" At this point, the female croupier urged the yers. Lin Tian nced at the croupier and activated his irvoyance, his gaze sweeping over the cards in her hand. With a nce, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. He then pushed forward all of his gambling chips! All in! Lin Tian pushed all one hundred thousand of his chips into the bet! Lin Tian''s action startled everyone; it was rare to see such arge bet right from the start. Wang Tao, who stood behind Lin Tian, was even more stunned. After a moment, he looked at Lin Tian as if he were looking at a fool. Wang Tao had also seen the cards in Lin Tian''s hand, totaling eighteen points. Pretty average. At this point, betting one thousand was the best option, but Wang Tao couldn''t fathom why Lin Tian had pushed all his one hundred thousand forward. Now Wang Tao concluded that Lin Tian was definitely set to lose. This didn''t look like someoneing to gamble at all! It''s practically giving away money. Lin Tian''s action also took the female croupier by surprise. However, after a moment, she recovered and spoke again, "Please ce your bets." Hearing the croupier''s words, the other yers ced their bets. "Hit or stand!" Lin Tian, ording to the order, was the first to hit for a card. ncing at the beautiful croupier, Lin Tian said with a light smile, "Hit!" Whish! The croupier sent a card his way. This card wasn''t flipped open and was just covered on top. Lin Tian nced at the card but didn''t flip it over to look. However, he knew it was a 3. The croupier looked at Lin Tian and found that he had made no move to flip the card. She had no choice but to ask, "Do you need another?" "No need!" Lin Tian replied lightly. 18+3=21, exactly 21 points, one more than the banker. Lin Tian didn''t believe the banker would dare to hit for another card with 20 points. After Lin Tian stood, the four people behind him took turns to hit or stand. Finally, it was the banker''s turn. Just as Lin Tian expected, the banker did not hit for another card. "Flip them over," said the banker with a hint of excitement on his face. A hand of 20 points wasrge, and he believed he could earn quite a bit this time. Indeed, aside from Lin Tian, the banker won against three yers, and one other yer pushed with the banker at 20 points. Now only Lin Tian was left to reveal his hand, and all eyes turned towards him. Lin Tian picked up his cards, pretended to look at them carefully, then flipped over his hole card. It was a 10. Seeing the bottom card, a trace of delight crossed the banker''s face. Lin Tian''s upcard was an 8 plus the hole card 10 added up to 18 points. And since Lin Tian had hit for another card, unless Lin Tian had pulled a card less than 4, he would bust. Also, if Lin Tian did not reach 20 points, he would lose as well. The odds of Lin Tian losing were high. Wang Tao, standing behind Lin Tian, had already confirmed that Lin Tian would lose. Not just him, many people at the gambling table thought the same. Lin Tian nced at these people, smiled lightly, and slowly revealed hisst card. With Lin Tian''s move, Wang Tao''s eyes widened in disbelief. 3! Thest card was actually a three! 3 points + 18 points was exactly 21 points, beating the banker outright! He actually won? Wang Tao stared nkly, somewhat dazed. The result surprised many at the gambling table, who stared at Lin Tian with bbergasted expressions. Was it luck or something else? The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 62 Money Talks Seeing the surprised expressions of the crowd, Lin Tian gave a faint smile. Without saying a word, he arched an eyebrow and swept a nce toward the female croupier. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, the female croupier was startled, but then she realized and quickly said, "21 beats 20, the yer wins!" As she spoke, the croupier pushed 95,000 chips toward Lin Tian. Out of the 100,000, the casino took a five percentmission. Lin Tian received only 95,000. But with 95,000, Lin Tian was already quite satisfied. As he gathered the chips into his hands, Lin Tian shed a brilliant smile at the banker, "Thanks a lot!" The banker, expressionless, nced at Lin Tian and ignored him, somewhat annoyed he called out, "Again!" Having lost 100,000 yuan, the banker was obviously not very pleased, but he didn''t take it too seriously, thinking that Lin Tian was just lucky. Following the banker''s prompt, the next round began. The croupier started dealing the cards and while doing so, she said, "Please ce your bets, the minimum is no less than a thousand, capped at a hundred thousand." After a nce at the cards in the female croupier''s hand, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. With a whoosh, Lin Tian once again pushed forward 100,000 in chips. Noticing Lin Tian''s action, everyone was taken aback. The banker was startled for a moment, then a sneer formed on his lips. He thought Lin Tian was just messing around. While thinking this, the banker nced at his own hand. The face-up card was a King. He carefully flipped over the face-down card¡ªit was a Jack. 20 points! Two face cards, adding up to exactly twenty points. A strong hand! Seeing his hand, a sh of joy crossed the banker''s face. At the same time, his look toward Lin Tian was filled with a bit of expectation. He didn''t believe that Lin Tian could hit 21 points again; he felt he had Lin Tian beat this time. At that moment, Lin Tian also nced at his own hand. The face-up card was a 10, Lin Tian quietly flipped the face-down card, then hastily covered it up again. Lin Tian''s careful action made Wang Tao, who was trying to peek from behind him, want to curse out loud. It was killing him with suspense! "Does the yer want another card?" the female croupier asked Lin Tian. Lin Tian gently shook his head and slowly revealed his face-down card!N?v(el)B\\jnn Noticing Lin Tian''s action, everyone was startled, their gaze turning to the cards in Lin Tian''s hand. As Lin Tian made his move, he slowly flipped over the card in his hand, revealing its value¡ª It was an Ace! An Ace? Seeing this card, everyone was startled again, and then looked toward the face-up card on Lin Tian''s table¡ªit was a 10. A 10 plus an Ace was a perfect ckjack! Lin Tian had won directly! And he won double the chips! Seeing the Ace revealed by Lin Tian, the female croupier was stunned again, not expecting Lin Tian to be so lucky. However, after a moment, she came to her senses, looked at the banker, and said, "The yer has a ckjack. If the banker doesn''t have a ckjack, then the yer wins double the chips!" "Damn it!" Seeing this, the banker cursed under his breath. He felt his luck was incredibly bad! Seeing the banker''s expression, the croupier naturally knew that the banker didn''t have a ckjack. After confirming it again, she directly handed Lin Tian 190,000 in chips. Lin Tian shifted a pile of chips toward himself with a grin, feeling quite thrilled. The money came quickly. In just a few minutes, he had made nearly three hundred thousand, which was way easier than messing with the lottery. Behind Lin Tian, Wang Tao watched with envy. He thought Lin Tian was incredibly lucky; casually winning 300,000 just like that. "Again!" At this point, the other yers had finishedparing cards with the banker, who had wiped out the other four yers. However, even though he did that, because he had lost 20 units to Lin Tian in one go, he still ended up losing money. Having lost so much money continuously, he felt annoyed, and his tone began to show impatience and haste. Lin Tian just shrugged and got ready to continue. In the next few rounds, Lin Tian''s luck wasn''t very good. He only casually threw a few thousand into the pot. But when he had good cards, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate to throw down a hundred thousand. Just like that, back and forth for over a dozen rounds. Even though Lin Tian mostly lost, whenever he won, he won big. In just over a dozen rounds, Lin Tian had won nearly a million! Looking at the pile of chips on the table, Lin Tian smiled slightly, started to get upzily, and stretched, saying with a chuckle, "I''m done ying, I''m going to go y somewhere else." "What, you want to leave after winning so much from me?" The banker was fuming inside, having been beaten by a young punk to lose such an amount of money. Seeing Lin Tian wanting to leave after winning, he spoke with a tone of dissatisfaction. Hearing this, Lin Tian paused for a moment, then chuckled lightly. He leaned his hands on the table, his body leaning forward slowly, and said in a soft tone, "And what can you do if I leave?" "You..." The banker was immediately furious, as if he wanted to get up and strike. But he seemed to remember something, suppressing his rage and ring at Lin Tian fiercely, "Fine." Lin Tian curled his lip, a look of disdain on his face: "Don''t tackle tasks that are beyond your ability, poser!" "You!" The banker stood up in a rage, pointing a finger at Lin Tian''s nose. "What?" Suddenly, a loud shout came. Immediately after, a middle-aged man in a ck suit walked over. Seeing the middle-aged man in the ck suit approach, the female croupier hurried over to exin. After listening to the female croupier''s exnation, the middle-aged man nodded his head, turned to the banker, and said, "You know the rules here. Don''t make things difficult for us." "Okay, I understand." Knowing the casino was not to be trifled with, the banker simply nodded. However, his gaze still carried a cold and unforgiving look directed at Lin Tian. "Heh..." Lin Tian curled his lip, a look of disdain still on his face. He didn''t take the threat seriously at all. After speaking with the banker, the middle-aged man scanned over Wang Tao, who was standing behind Lin Tian. Upon noticing Wang Tao, he walked over and stopped in front of him, sizing him up and down: "Wang Tao, didn''t you lose all your money? Have you gathered it all up yet? Remember, you have three days left. You know our rules." Seeing the middle-aged man approach, Wang Tao appeared a bit nervous, bowed his head slightly, and spoke somewhat apprehensively, "Brother Lai, I''m just here to apany him. I''m still gathering the money!" "That''s good." The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction. Then he turned his head to nce at Lin Tian, said nothing, and walked away. After giving him a nce, Lin Tian turned to Wang Tao and asked, "Who is he?" "His name is Lai Flying Dragon; he''s the security here. Heard he''s a former special forces soldier, really tough. Last time, I saw him take on over a dozen people by himself!" As he spoke, Wang Tao''s voice paused, casting a somewhat odd look at Lin Tian. It struck him then that this person beside him was also formidable. "One person taking on over a dozen?" Lin Tian looked at Lai Flying Dragon with a touch of surprise, finding it rather astonishing. He hadn''t expected him to be an expert. However, after taking a nce, Lin Tian paid him no more mind. As formidable as he might be, Lin Tian didn''t consider him a threat. No longer paying any mind to the security, Lin Tian turned his head to the female croupier and said, "Exchange these chips for bigger ones, just give me ten chips of a hundred thousand each." Chapter 63 Sweeping Across Upon seeing Lin Tian casually tipping the croupier 100,000, Wang Tao''s eyes widened with surprise, cursively cursing the spendthrift in his heart. Despite that, Wang Tao dared not say anything. By now, Wang Tao had realized that Lin Tian''s previous statements were no mere boasts. From the recent ckjack game, Wang Tao discovered that Lin Tian was likely a gambling expert. Observing Lin Tian''s trajectory, it seemed genuinely possible that he could help him repay his gambling debts. Being in need of Lin Tian''s help, he naturally didn''t dare to speak up. Lin Tian was unaware of Wang Tao''s thoughts, but he could tell from his demeanor¡ªafter revealing his skill earlier¡ªthat Wang Tao''s attitude towards him had be significantly more respectful.N?v(el)B\\jnn Lin Tian was indifferent, holding nearly a million chips in his hand and leisurely began to stroll around. After making a round, Lin Tian finally stopped in front of a gambling table, curiously observing the people around it. The table was also ying cards, though Lin Tian did not know what game it was. There were around six yers at the table. After observing for a while, Lin Tian found it quite interesting and asked Wang Tao who was next to him, "What is this?" "Exploding Golden Flower," Wang Tao said with some surprise, giving Lin Tian a look. He was surprised that Lin Tian didn''t recognize Exploding Golden Flower, as it seemed inconsistent with the image of a gambling master he had in his mind. "Tell me what the rules are!" Lin Tian said somewhat impatiently. Surprised, Wang Tao, though astonished that Lin Tian didn''t even know the rules of Exploding Golden Flower, exined, "In Exploding Golden Flower, each person is dealt three cards, then yerspare the sizes between each other." "How are the sizes determined?" "The highest is a bomb, which means three cards of the same rank. For example, AAA, 222, these are all bombs. Triple A is the highest, triple 2 is the lowest. After bombse Straight Flush, which are consecutive cards of the same suit. The highest Straight Flush is QKA of the same suit, and the lowest is 123 of the same suit. Beneath Straight Flushes are flushes, which are cards of the same suit but not in sequence. For example, Spades 368, Diamonds 145. Following that are straights, which are consecutive cards of different suits. For instance, Spade 5, Heart 6, Diamond 7. The highest straight is QKA of mixed suits, and the lowest is 123 of mixed suits. Below straights are pairs. A pair of Aces is the highest, and a pair of twos is the lowest. After pairse high cards, which are the lowest ranking." Listening to Wang Tao''s exnation, Lin Tian nodded slowly, beginning to understand; he found it interesting and decided to y. After the round ended and seeing an empty spot, Lin Tian directly took a seat. Once everyone was seated, the croupier spoke, "Please ce your bets, the base bet is one thousand." Hearing the croupier''s words, all six people ced their bets; Lin Tian also tossed a chip worth one thousand. The base bet is mandatory for all yers in Exploding Golden Flower. The sound of chips clinking filled the air as everyone ced their base bets and the croupier began dealing cards. Shortly thereafter, three cards appeared in front of each yer on the table. After the cards were dealt, some immediately peeked at them quietly, while others did nothing. Lin Tian also remained inactive. "Banker to the next yer, please ce your bet," the croupier said at that moment. The yer next to the banker, a stout man, had just peeked at his own cards, revealing a pair of Kings and a three. This meant his highest cards were a pair of Kings. With a fairly good hand, the stout man was slightly excited and confidently ced 5,000: "Five thousand." "Next yer!" the croupier continued. The stout man''s neighbor had also seen his own cards; holding a 2, 3, and 9, which were incredibly poor, he immediately discarded his hand: "I fold!" He was eliminated from the game. "Next yer." "I''ll match!" This yer threw in 2,500 without looking at his cards, ying blind, hence he only needed to put in half the chips. "Next yer," said the croupier. It was Lin Tian''s turn. Lin Tian shed a slight smile and casually threw a 10,000 chip: "I''ll match!" Lin Tian''s action briefly stunned the gamblers at the table. They were somewhat surprised that Lin Tian had directly raised the blind. Lin Tian raising the bet meant that those following him also had to raise. After a moment''s hesitation, the croupier continued, "Next yer." Lin Tian''s next opponent hesitated briefly before also throwing in 10,000 chips to match. He too did not look at his cards. "Next yer," the croupier said. It was the banker''s turn now. After a moment''s hesitation, the banker decided to look at his cards. As he slowly revealed his hand, Lin Tian noticed a flicker of joy on the man''s face. Then, without hesitation, the banker threw in 20,000 to match; since he had seen his cards, his bet had to be double that of those who were still blind. Noticing the joy on the banker''s face, Lin Tian instinctively knew why the man was pleased. With irvoyance, Lin Tian knew his cards were a straight of AKQ. A strong hand, indeed, butpared to his own¡­ Lin Tian just smiled subtly, silently watching. "Next yer." It was the stout man''s turn again; he hesitated briefly before also throwing in 20,000 to see how things would unfold. "Next yer." As the rounds continued, the bets rapidly increased; after a few rounds, the open bets had escted to 100,000. Under the pressure, three more yers folded. "Next yer." "Three hundred thousand!" The banker directly threw in 300,000. Seeing the bet raise to 300,000, the stout man was conflicted; a pair seemed too weak, and the opponent''s trend suggested a strong hand. After some thought, the stout man finally discarded his hand. Suddenly, only Lin Tian and the banker remained at the table. Chapter 64 I am a Human, Not a God "How is this possible!" The fat man stared at the cards on his table with a ghost-struck demeanor. The onlooking gamblers also widened their mouths in disbelief. Lin Tian grinned slightly, propped himself up on the table with both hands, slowly rose to his feet, leaning forward slightly with a smile and looked at the fat man, "You''ve lost!" "Phew!" The fat man gasped heavily, his face still marked with incredulity. 235! His cards were actually 235! The smallest hand among all the cards! Even smaller than Lin Tian''s 236! "We can announce the results now, right?" Lin Tian said with a grin, looking at the female croupier who was somewhat in a daze. "Ah? Oh!" After being startled for a moment, the croupier snapped out of it and hurriedly announced, "yer number three wins!" "Hehe..." Raising an eyebrow, Lin Tian looked at the small mountain of chips in the middle of the table with a smile, feeling very excited. Ten million! So much money! "He won! He actually won!" Wang Tao muttered incredulously at the side, his hands rubbing together uneasily, feeling both excited and nervous. "Damn! Even a 236 can win! This guy''s luck is too good!" "There''s got to be over ten million there!" "What dogshit luck!" After a moment of stunned silence, the spectators started to discuss enviously and resentfully. The fat man who lost the money still had a disgruntled look with an expression of disbelief. Lin Tian chuckled and, without paying attention to them, turned his head to the female croupier and said, "Ask someone to exchange my chips for cash and deposit the money into my card." Startled for a moment, the female croupier nodded, "Sir, alright." Since Lin Tian had won so much, the female croupier''s attitude towards him had be much more polite.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Just as the croupier was about to call someone to collect the chips, suddenly a man in a ck suit named Lai Flying Dragon approached. Seeing Lai Flying Dragoning over, the surrounding gamblers made way for him. Lai Flying Dragon headed straight for Lin Tian. Lin Tian nced at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and made no other movement, calmly waiting for him to approach. Lai Flying Dragon arrived in front of Lin Tian, gave a slight nod, and with a calm expression said, "Our boss heard there''s a master here who might wish to y a game. Are you interested?" "Oh?" Lin Tian paused for a moment, then smiled, "Sure!" "Then, please!" After saying that, Lai Flying Dragon turned his head to the croupier, "Have someone bring this gentleman''s chips up." After that, Lai Flying Dragon led Lin Tian upstairs; Wang Tao hesitated for a moment but then followed. Eventually, Lai Flying Dragon brought Lin Tian and Wang Tao into a private room. "Tap tap..." Lai Flying Dragon knocked gently on the door and whispered, "Boss, I''ve brought the person." "Come in," came a calm voice from inside the room. "Creak!" Lai Flying Dragon pushed the door open and then bowed slightly to Lin Tian, "Please!" Lin Tian smiled faintly and walked in. Upon entering, Lin Tian swept his gaze around and noticed the room was about fifty square meters in size. The interior was luxuriously decorated, with a red mahogany table and luxurious leather sofas. A 70-inch ultrarge LCD TV was ced on the side. In the corner there was a wine rack. Bottles of red wine were disyed there; Lin Tian did not recognize them, but they looked very high-end and ssy. Lin Tian''s gaze swept across the room before finally resting on a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa. On seeing this man, a hint of surprise shed through Lin Tian''s eyes. Contrary to his expectations, the middle-aged man exuded a refined elegance, akin to that of a Confucian schr. Wu Bin also showed a hint of surprise when he saw Lin Tian, standing up with a smile and extending his hand, "Young brother, you''re quite young!" "Age doesn''t define ambition," Lin Tian extended his hand, smiling in response. "Heh..." Wu Bin chuckled lightly, gesturing toward the sofa next to him, "Please have a seat." "Thank you!" Lin Tian sat down without ceremony. Wu Bin nced at Wang Tao behind Lin Tian, smiling as he said, "This brother should sit too." "Ah? Oh! Thank you, thank you, Boss Wu!" Upon hearing Wu Bin''s words, Wang Tao seemed ttered and a bit nervously excited as he sat down. Lin Tian nced at Wang Tao, who was both excited and tense, guessing that Wu Bin must wield significant power. Otherwise, Wang Tao wouldn''t be so nervous. Wu Bin ignored Wang Tao''s nervous demeanor, turned his head, and with a hearty smile, looked at Lin Tian, "I hear you''re quite skilled, young brother. Shall we have a game?" "Sure, what shall we y?" Lin Tian was indifferent; he wanted to see what trick the other party was nning. "How about ckjack?" Wu Bin tentatively asked. "Alright," Lin Tian nodded with indifference. After Lin Tian agreed, the door to the private room opened once more, and two scantily d women entered, each carrying a tray. Wu Bin had the trays put down, pushed one toward Lin Tian with a smile, "Here''s fifteen million, this is your stake." Lin Tian nced at therge chips on the tray, slightly surprised. His own chips totaled only about one million two or three hundred thousand, and he hadn''t expected the other party to directly offer him fifteen million. "Then let''s begin," Wu Bin said as he picked up a new, unopened deck of cards from the table. Removing the jokers, Wu Bin shuffled the cards with a rustling sound. Lin Tian observed Wu Bin''s hands to be delicately smooth and agile, resembling a woman''s. At the same time, Wu Bin''s shuffling technique was quite a spectacle, as if performing a vaudeville act. After shuffling, Wu Bin pushed the cards forward, "Do you want to check them?" Lin Tian shook his head, "No need." Asking me to shuffle? Don''t be ridiculous; my own shuffling is too unrefined, it''s rubbishpared to Wu Bin''s. It''s better not to embarrass myself. Anyway, I have my superpower, so I''m not afraid of any tricks he might y. "Alright then," Wu Bin wasn''t surprised. Smiling at Lin Tian, he asked, "Shall you deal, or shall I?" "You do it," Lin Tian said nonchntly. It made no difference to him. "Alright!" After shuffling again and having Lin Tian cut the deck, Wu Bin began dealing the cards. Once the deal wasplete, Lin Tian instantly activated his irvoyant ability. And upon looking, he was taken aback. In the other''s hand was 20 points, while in his own was 18 points; if he were to call, the next card would be 4 points. To call would bring him to 22 points, busting outright. Not to call meant defeat, and to call would mean busting and defeat either way. "ce your bets, there''s no limit," Wu Bin said with a smile, looking at Lin Tian. Lin Tian curled his lip and casually tossed over ten thousand, "Ten thousand it is." "Do you want a card?" "No." "Let''s reveal." "You have eighteen points; I have twenty, I win." "Another round." Wu Bin then dealt the cards again, asking Lin Tian to cut the deck before dealing another round. With his irvoyant ability activated, Lin Tian was surprised to find that this time his opponent had 20 points again, and he himself had 19 points, and the next card was actually a 3. Once again, not calling was death, but calling was still death! "Ten thousand!" Lin Tian threw ten thousand over directly. Several times in a row, Lin Tian found himself in the same situation. Lin Tian had already realized that the other party had tampered with the deck. The deck was normal, and all these moves had been made while Wu Bin was shuffling. Even though Lin Tian had cut the cards at the end, Wu Bin was still able to deal the card he wanted when the time came to y it. Wu Bin moved quickly and covertly; even with Lin Tian''s irvoyant ability activated, he couldn''t fully grasp the other''s technique. Knowing that he was bound to lose, Lin Tian each time symbolically threw ten thousand over. After four or five rounds like this, Wu Bin looked at Lin Tian somewhat unexpectedly. After that, he shuffled and dealt the cards again. "ce your bet." As Wu Bin spoke, Lin Tian activated his superpower again. Upon seeing his hand, Lin Tian was slightly startled, finding it to be somewhat unexpected. This time, his opponent still had 20 points, and surprisingly enough, so did he. Activating his irvoyant ability, Lin Tian looked through the deck and saw that the next card was an Ace. Which meant that if he called, he would win. But who in their right mind would call with 20 points! Unless they had lost their mind! "ce your bet," Wu Bin said again. "Five million!" Lin Tian threw five million over directly. "Hmm?" Wu Bin looked at Lin Tian curiously. He paused for a moment before speaking, "Do you want a card?" Pretending to look at his cards, Lin Tian then said, "Hit me!" This time Wu Bin was truly stunned. He knew what cards Lin Tian held¡ª20 points. But he could not fathom why his opponent would dare to ask for another card at this point. This time Wu Bin was just testing Lin Tian''s skill, but to his surprise... "Deal the card," Lin Tian said with a smile, reminding the momentarily dazed Wu Bin. "Ah?" Wu Bin paused for a moment, thening back to his senses, chuckled and shook his head, surprised that he had let his mind wander. Then Wu Bin dealt Lin Tian a card. The card was exactly an Ace. 20 plus one point, making it exactly 21 points. Lin Tian slowly flipped his cards over¡ª21 points! Watching Lin Tian reveal his hand, Wu Bin shook his head with a wry smile and turned over his own cards: 20 points. He had intended to keep that Ace for himself, but Lin Tian had taken it. Despite having lost, Wu Bin did not be frustrated. Instead, he looked at Lin Tian with a smile, "Young man, you''ve got skills. I''m impressed!" "Not bad," Lin Tian smiled back. Wu Bin pushed his chips over to Lin Tian, then turned to Lai Feilong, who was standing behind him, "Bring me a bottle of red wine. I want to have a drink with this young man." "No need, it''ste, and I still need to get some sleep," Lin Tian refused directly, not wanting to waste time with Wu Bin. "Uh..." Hearing the refusal, Wu Bin was stunned. It had been a long time since someone in Wuya City had directly refused him like this. Wang Tao was visibly taken aback by Lin Tian''s direct refusal of Wu Bin''s invitation. After a moment of disbelief, Wu Bin shook his head helplessly and stood up: "Well, then, that''s all right. Young man,e over when you have time. This is my business card." As he spoke, Wu Bin handed over a gold-embossed business card to Lin Tian with a smile. Lin Tian casually took it, nced at it, and noted that the back had just a name and a number, very concise. "Alright," Lin Tian casually pocketed the business card. "If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving," Lin Tian said, thinking that it was time to leave. "Sure,e by when you have time. Ah Long, see him out," Wu Bin said with a smile. As Lin Tian was about to leave the private room, Wu Bin couldn''t help calling out, "Young man." "Hmm?" Lin Tian turned his head, looking perplexed at Wu Bin. "I heard there was a confrontation with someone earlier. They wouldn''t dare do much in the casino, but outside, it''s not necessarily safe." "Thank you," Lin Tian said, looking at Wu Bin with some surprise, not expecting him to actually offer a word of caution. "Do you want me to have someone escort you?" "No need," Lin Tian shook his head, looking around before saying to Wu Bin, "I''m quite capable." "Hmm?" Wu Bin looked puzzled at Lin Tian. Lin Tian walked over to a wall, knocked on it with his hand, and smiled, "You don''t mind if I use this wall for a second, do you?" "Go ahead!" Wu Bin was curious about what Lin Tian was up to. Hearing Wu Bin''s permission, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, his muscles tensed instantly, and he shouted, "Hey!" Whoosh! Air whooshed as Lin Tian''s foot kicked up! Bang! Lin Tian''s foot struck the wall fiercely, and with a loud noise, dust billowed! Rumble~! Clods of dirt flew out, and in an instant, a one-meter-wide hole appeared in the wall! "Uh..." Wu Bin stared dumbfounded at the sudden hole in the wall, his expression one of disbelief. "What''s happening?" The sudden loud noise startled everyone on the floor, and soon, many security guards d in ck suits rushed over. The guards were just as stunned by the new hole in the wall. Seeing the guards, Wu Bin gestured for them to leave. After sending the guards away, Wu Bin still stared nkly at the hole in the wall, then, turning to Lai Feilong, he asked in astonishment, "Ah Long, could you do that?" Lai Feilong was speechless: "I''m human, not a deity!" A thirty-centimeter-thick wall, that''s not something a human could do! Chapter 65 A Feast for the Eyes As Lin Tianyi walked out of the casino with Wang Tao, thetter was still slightly dazed. He was still thinking about that scene just now.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om With a single kick, he''d blown apart such a thick wall, was this guy even human? Wang Tao realized he had underestimated Lin Tian. He shouldn''t judge Lin Tian by normal standards at all. After walking a distance and noticing Wang Tao was still somewhat in a daze, Lin Tian stopped, nced at him, and said, "What are you spacing out for? Go find a car quick, this ce is too remote, there''s not even a cab in sight." "Ah? Oh, I''ll call for a cab." After a momentarypse, Wang Tao hurriedly took out his phone to arrange for a taxi. People who came here to gamble were usually quite wealthy, owning their own cars, so cabs were seldom hailed. After watching Wang Tao finish his call, Lin Tian spoke up, "I''ve already paid off your gambling debt, they won''te after you anymore." "Ah?" This time, Wang Tao was genuinely stunned, staring at Lin Tian with a bewildered look. Really? He really paid off his gambling debt? "What? Not happy?" Lin Tian asked, smiling at him. "No! No! Extremely grateful! Thank you! Thank you!" Wang Tao said excitedly, almost to the point of babble. He had been driven almost mad by the gambling debt recently. Seeing Wang Tao''s joyous reaction, Lin Tian calmly said, "Of course, this isn''t for free, remember, you''re going to divorce Wang Luodan when you get back." "Uh..." Hearing this, Wang Tao was taken aback. After a pause, Wang Tao looked at Lin Tian tentatively and asked, "You... you''re not... interested in her, are you?" "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked at Wang Tao, puzzled. Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t understand, Wang Tao exined again, "I mean, are you interested in my wife?" "Get lost!" Lin Tian snapped back to reality, cursing, "Don''t overthink things. Just divorce her when you get back, or I''ll beat you to death. You know I have the ability." "Yes, yes!" Wang Tao nodded repeatedly. Despite his words, Wang Tao''s eyes flickered slightly; he was now convinced that Lin Tian must be interested in Wang Luodan. Otherwise, why would a normal person do so much for a woman he doesn''t know well? After waiting for about four or five minutes, Lin Tian felt a bit cold and stamped his feet, cursing, "Damn, why isn''t the cab here yet?" It was already past one in the morning, the coldest time of the day. "Whoo..." Just then, a set of car headlights appeared in the distance. "Here ites." Feeling a bit cold as well, Wang Tao brightened up at the sight of the headlights. But as the car slowly approached, Wang Tao realized it wasn''t a taxi but a shiny ck Audi. Thinking it was someone else''s car, Wang Tao paid no attention and continued to look towards the roadside, waiting for a taxi. However, the ck Audi slowly stopped right in front of Lin Tian and Wang Tao, then the car door opened, and four or five men got out in a flurry. "Guys, that''s him, take him down!" With a loud shout, Wang Tao noticed that one of the men was the same one who had had a conflict with Lin Tian during the ckjack game. On seeing these people, Lin Tian shook his head, speechless, and charged at them as they rushed toward him. Smack smack smack! Apanied by yells of pain, Lin Tian nonchntly walked back after a mere ten seconds. Looking at the few people writhing in pain on the ground, he shook his head and said, "If you don''t seek death, you won''t die." "Uh..." Wang Tao looked on dumbfounded at the scene. "Whoo..." At this moment, another car approached from a distance. Lin Tian saw the green paint on the car and took the lead heading over, "The taxi''s here, let''s go." ncing onest time at the men who couldn''t move on the ground, Wang Tao followed suit. By the time Lin Tian returned to Wang Tao''s home, it was almost two o''clock in the morning. "Click..." The sudden sound of the door opening startled Wang Luodan, who had been sitting with her knees hugged to her chest on the sofa, and she quickly got up. Since Lin Tian had taken Wang Tao away, Wang Luodan hadn''t been able to sleep at all. Getting up and seeing Lin Tiane in, followed by Wang Tao, she stood up. Without much ado, Lin Tian closed the door behind him, looked at a somewhat haggard Wang Luodan with a smile, and said, "I''ve paid off his debts, you two can get divorced now." Then, turning to Wang Tao, he asked, "You don''t have any objections, do you?" "None!" Despite his reluctance, Wang Tao still nodded. "Paid off the debts?" Wang Luodan looked at Lin Tian in shock, her face filled with disbelief. "That settles it then. You''ll go get divorced tomorrow, and I''ll be there to see it," Lin Tian said, turning his head and staring at Wang Tao intensely, his voice low, "If you dare go back on your word, you know what will happen!" "I know! I know!" Wang Tao nodded hurriedly. "Good!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, turned to Wang Luodan and said, "It''s gettingte, I''ll be off now, and I''lle for you guys tomorrow." Saying this, Lin Tian smiled lightly, turned around, opened the door, and left. As Lin Tian stepped down the stairs just after opening the door, a rush of hurried footsteps came from behind, followed by a crisp female voice, "Wait a moment!" Lin Tian stopped and turned around to find Wang Luodan hurrying towards him. Stopping in front of Lin Tian, Wang Luodan hesitated before asking, "Why... why are you helping me?" "Why?" "Because you''re a beauty!" "Ah?" Wang Luodan was taken aback. "Off I go. See you tomorrow." With that, Lin Tian kissed Wang Luodan''s cheek,ughed heartily, and turned to leave quickly. Wang Luodan stood in ce, dazed, watching as Lin Tian''s figure disappeared rapidly. She touched her cheek subconsciously, her face turning slightly red. Chapter 66 Dont Blame Me "Let go!" Chen Yixuan said angrily as she looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian smirked. "What are you doing?" With a p, Lin Tian quickly grabbed Chen Yixuan''s fist and said with a chuckle, "You can''t beat me!" "Thug!" Chen Yixuan said coldly, ring at Lin Tian. After that, she turned and walked away. "Hey, is that necessary? It was just a joke!" Lin Tian hurried after her. "Don''t follow me!" Chen Yixuan suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Lin Tian with a cold face. "Uh¡­" After ncing at Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian helplessly spread his hands and apologetically said, "Alright then, I really didn''t mean it just now." As he spoke, Lin Tian turned away somewhat helplessly. If she didn''t appreciate him, Lin Tian wasn''t going to shamelessly tag along. But just after he had taken a few steps, Lin Tian suddenly felt his hand being grasped. "Huh¡­" Lin Tian turned around somewhat astonished and saw it was Chen Yixuan. She had just sent him away, but now she was gently holding his hand. What was this all about? "You¡­" Lin Tian looked at Chen Yixuan somewhat astonished. "Don''t talk, just go along with it!" Chen Yixuan whispered. "Xuan!" At that moment, a male voice came from behind. Hearing this voice, Chen Yixuan turned around with Lin Tian''s hand in hers and smiled at the man behind her, "Chen Long huh¡­" Noticing Chen Yixuan''s actions, Chen Long looked somewhat astonished as he nced at her arm, "You two¡­" "This is my boyfriend; I told you, we''re not suitable." Chen Yixuan said haughtily, deliberately moving closer to Lin Tian. "Boyfriend?" Chen Long looked astonished as he pointed at Lin Tian, "Him?" Then, as if he had heard something very funny, Chen Long pointed at Lin Tian andughingly said, "Him as your boyfriend? He''s a minor, right!" As he spoke, Chen Long looked at Lin Tian with a grin, "Kid, which grade are you in?" "You¡­" Chen Yixuan was angry but didn''t know what to say as Lin Tian did look a bit young. Lin Tian was very annoyed being pointed at with a finger. Lin Tian reached out and calmly patted Chen Long''s hand away, speaking slowly, "Do I really need to report to you whether I''m Yixuan''s boyfriend or not? Who do you think you are!" Chen Yixuan''s eyes widened in shock... Lin Tian''s actions were too sudden. Chen Yixuan''s eyes widened even more. Before Chen Yixuan could react, Lin Tian suddenly let go of his mouth, licked his lips, and turned to look at Chen Long with a grin, "Do you believe it now?" Chen Long''s face turned ashen! Chen Yixuan fiercely pinched Lin Tian on his lower back, but at that moment, she couldn''t really say anything. After all, she was the one who had sought out Lin Tian. Chen Long''s face ashen, he nced at Chen Yixuan and saw that even though she looked somewhat annoyed, she didn''t say anything about Lin Tian''s earlier actions. Coldly ring at Lin Tian, Chen Long turned and walked away quickly with an ashen face. Lin Tian spread his hands innocently, "Didn''t you ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend? If we''re pretending, we should make it convincing." "You¡­" Chen Yixuan red at Lin Tian in annoyance and finally left coldly with a snort. Seeing Chen Yixuan leaving, Lin Tian smirked, stuck out his tongue, and licked his lips, thinking to himself, "Her lips are quite sweet..." Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Tian turned and walked back to his spot. Laying down again, with sunsses on, Lin Tian closed his eyes slightly, nning to take a nap. The gentle sea breeze and the soft sound of waves were very pleasant. Unknowingly, Lin Tian actually fell asleep. When Lin Tian woke up, it was already around four or five in the afternoon. A bit groggy, Lin Tian checked the time and eximed, "I slept that long?" As it was gettingte, Lin Tian packed up and returned to the hotel. After having dinner and watching some TV at the hotel, Lin Tian, feeling a bit bored, decided to go out for a stroll. Little did he know that he hadn''t walked far when he found his path blocked in a secluded alley. Squinting, Lin Tian looked ahead where four or five punks wielding bats were approaching him. Lin Tian turned and saw another group of punksing from behind. Trapped? Who was it? Was it retaliation fromst night, that fat guy, or perhaps Wu Bin? Various people shed through Lin Tian''s mind as he guessed who might want to teach him a lesson. While Lin Tian was pondering this, the two groups closing in on him were slowly approaching. Coming up to Lin Tian, one of the men, shaking his leg and chewing gum, looked at Lin Tian with a sneer, "Kid, do you know you''ve messed with someone you shouldn''t have?" "Who?" Lin Tian asked calmly. "He asked me to tell you to stay away from Chen Yixuan." "Chen Yixuan?" Lin Tian was taken aback upon hearing the name. Then in his mind appeared a young man, that Chen Long. Was it him who had people block him? When he realized it was him, Lin Tianyi felt a sudden rity and then looked at the people in front of him, smiling as he asked, "So, what do you want to do then?" "Still smiling?" The man snorted coldly, "You won''t beughing soon! Hit him!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he charged forward! Bang bang! Sounds of blows being struck could be heard. A few secondster, Lin Tian dusted off his hands and spat forcefully. As Lin Tian spat, the spit, carrying a tinge of blood, was expelled. Lin Tian wiped his mouth, his expression somewhat icy. The alley was too narrow, leaving little space for Lin Tian to dodge. He ended up taking a blow unintentionally, which split his lip. Only Lin Tian''s lip was slightly injured, while these men ally on the ground, groaning continuously. Lin Tian, slightly annoyed, kicked one of the men hard, cursing, "Damn it, seeking death!" With Lin Tian''s kick, that person moaned in pain. "Snap!" Suddenly, the sound of a stone stirred not far behind. "Who?" Lin Tian turned sharply around. As he turned, he saw a figure disappearing around the corner. Seeing that figure, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed. Although he only saw a shadow, he was almost sure it was Chen Long. Unexpectedly, Chen Long hade, catching Lin Tian off guard. He then sneered coldly and, powering up his legs, he quickly charged after him. "Panting!" Chen Long ran swiftly forward, his breathing hurried due to the intense activity. His expression was very tense. Initially, he had wanted to summon people to take down Lin Tian, but what he hadn''t expected was that Lin Tian was too monstrous, taking down those men in a matter of moments. "Shit! Who would have thought this guy was so tough!" Chen Long cursed as he ran. He could already hear the footsteps rapidly approaching from behind, clearly Lin Tian had chased after him. "Panting!" Chen Long breathed heavily, speeding up once more. But how could Chen Long''s speedpare to Lin Tian''s? It wasn''t long before Chen Long felt a tight grip on the back of his cor, followed by an enormous force. "Where do you think you''re going!" Lin Tian gripped Chen Long with one hand, lifting him as if he were a child. "Let go of me, otherwise I won''t spare you!" Despite being caught, Chen Long''s attitude was still fierce. "Still acting tough?" Lin Tian scoffed coldly and pped him hard, "Act tough for what!" "Snap!" With a crisp p, Chen Long''s left cheek instantly swelled up. "You..." Feeling the burning pain on his cheek, Chen Long was furious. "Snap!" Lin Tian pped him again, cursing, "Still not keeping quiet?" Another p, and this time, Lin Tian increased his strength. This p dazzled Chen Long. He finally epted reality and dared not speak anymore. Seeing that Chen Long had finally quieted down, Lin Tian snorted coldly. Holding Chen Long, he walked back. When Lin Tian brought Chen Long back, the hooligans had already helped each other to stand up. The reason for this was because Lin Tian could now easily control his strength. Although these hooligans were in pain, they did not have any serious injuries, just superficial wounds. The hooligans, thinking that Lin Tian had left, were startled to see him return. ncing at the people, Lin Tian said coldly, "Where are you going? Don''t move!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, everyone obediently remained still. None of them could defeat Lin Tian when they were healthy, let alone now with injuries. Lin Tian threw Chen Long down on the ground and said to the other hooligans, "p him once each, and when you''re done, you can go; if you don''t finish, you''re not allowed to leave." "Uh..." Hearing this, everyone momentarily froze. One of the hooligans whispered nervously to Lin Tian, "Boss, his family has a lot of power. We dare not hit him?" "Dare not?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, "Then you dare to bully me?" After speaking, Lin Tian shouted harshly, "Hit him! You, start with you!" As he spoke, Lin Tian pointed his finger. The man Lin Tian pointed at looked extremely troubled. "I''m giving you ten seconds, if you don''t hit him, I''ll break your legs!" "Ten, nine...three, two..." Counting down to two, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and coldly walked towards the man. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, the man hesitated but ultimately clenched his teeth, stepped in front of Chen Long, and pped him. "Snap!" A gentle p. Seeing this, Lin Tian said harshly, "Doesn''t count, do it again!" The man clenched his teeth and pped hard! Snap! This p was both heavy and loud! "You dare hit me? Do you want to die?" Chen Long red at him furiously. "Hmph!" Lin Tian directly kicked Chen Long, admonishing, "Keep it down." After speaking, Lin Tian turned and continued, "Next!" With the first man setting the example, it was much easier for the others. Eight people pped Chen Long in session. Couple with the two ps from Lin Tian earlier, Chen Long''s handsome face momentarily turned into a pig''s head. After letting the hooligans go, Lin Tian crouched down, gently tapped Chen Long''s swollen cheek, and said in a soothing voice, "You brought this upon yourself, don''t me me."n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Chapter 67 Murderous Intent Chen Long stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes, not saying a word. After a nce at Chen Long, Lin Tian chuckled lightly and heavily patted Chen Long''s swollen face, raising an eyebrow, "What''s the matter? Can''t ept it?" p! With a heavy pat, Lin Tian made Chen Long wince in pain. Knowing that the situation was stronger than him, Chen Long did not try to show off his strength and turned his head away, no longer looking at Lin Tian. Lin Tian gently patted Chen Long''s shoulder, warning him with a smile, "Don''t mess with me in the future. You can''t afford to provoke me." With that, Lin Tian smiled slightly and turned to leave. ** There was no talk overnight, and the next day, before Lin Tian even got out of bed, he heard a series of urgent knocking sounds at the door. The noise was loud and apanied by shouting, "Open up! Open up! Hurry and open the door!" The urgent knocking and the shouting were unsettling. Lin Tian opened his eyes groggily, frowned, and casually put on his boxers before walking over. Before going over to open the door, Lin Tian activated his irvoyant ability directly. As soon as his irvoyant ability was activated, Lin Tian saw a crowd of people standing outside his door, roughly counting more than twenty. Lin Tian scanned the crowd and saw Chen Long, whose face was swollen like a pig''s head. At that moment, there was a young man in his twenties standing beside Chen Long, who was talking to him. Seeing Chen Long, Lin Tian understood what was going on and muttered under his breath, "You won''t die if you don''t seek death!" Sighing lightly, Lin Tian shook his head. Knowing what the situation was, he was not in a hurry. He dressed slowly and then started brushing his teeth. As for the people outside the door, let them wait. Inside, Lin Tian leisurely brushed his teeth while the people outside realized that no one was opening the door despite their persistent knocking. "Could he not be inside?" "No way, the hotel staff said he hasn''te out since he went inst night." "Knock again. If there''s still no answer, we''ll just kick the door down." "Thump, thump!" After knocking for a while and getting no response, the young man gestured, and they kicked the door in! "Bam!" With a loud noise, Lin Tian, who was washing his face, was startled and turned his head in surprise, only to find the door was kicked open by someone else. Whoosh~! With the door kicked open, a rush of many people surged into the room. There were so many of them that they filled the entire room. The young man who was talking to Chen Long stepped in leisurely, came to Lin Tian, sized him up from top to bottom, and said coldly, "Kid, I hear you''re a good fighter?" Lin Tian nced at him, then continued to ignore him, calmly rubbing the towel and starting to wash his face. Seeing that Lin Tian nced at him and then ignored himpletely, a spark of rage flickered across the young man''s face, "Kid, are you deaf to my words?" After washing his face, Lin Tian dried his hands and turned around to look at him slowly and deliberately, "You? What are you, even!" The young man was taken aback, then filled with rage, reached out to grab Lin Tian''s head and cursed, "Stop acting smart with me!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he flicked the towel in his hand! p! With a crisp sound, the young man''s face immediately reddened. Lin Tian kicked out! Bang! He sent him flying out. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Tian ducked and quickly ran out of the room. The room was too small and not suited for him to avoid them. Wu Fei, with his face pped red by Lin Tian,y on the ground and, upon seeing Lin Tian fleeing, furiouslymanded, "Chase him!" Whoosh! A crowd rushed out! Bang, bang! Ahh, ahh! Screams echoed. Wu Fei, covering his face and rubbing his stomach, walked out with Chen Long''s help. As soon as Wu Fei walked out of the room, he immediately froze, staring at the scene before him in shock. Bang, bang! Lin Tian effortlessly kicked away each person who tried to attack him. Even if people managed to hit Lin Tian, he did not even frown. In just a few seconds, the people attacking Lin Tian were on the ground, and those still standing were keeping their distance, looking at Lin Tian as if he were a monster. Chen Long swallowed hard and whispered to Wu Fei, "I told you, this guy can fight!" "Damn! Who knew he could fight like this! Even Flying Dragon isn''t that impressive!" Wu Fei muttered under his breath, cursing softly. After ncing at the two mumbling people, Lin Tian smiled slightly and walked over leisurely, standing in front of Wu Fei and said with a smile, "Still want to fight?" Wu Fei, clutching his stomach, said angrily, "You win this time!" Lin Tian smiled faintly, turned his head to look at Chen Long, whose face was swollen like a pig''s head, and said softly, "Do you remember what I said yesterday?" After finishing his words, Lin Tian pped him across the face and angrilymanded, "Get lost!" Following Lin Tian''s roar, those people all left dejectedly. This time, they had really hit a snag. Once Chen Long and his people had left, Lin Tian immediately called the hotel staff to get himself another room. The door to the original room was damaged and unusable. Having heard about the conflict between Lin Tian and Wu Fei and others, the hotel staff also knew. Seeing Lin Tian''s fierce manner, the hotel staff didn''t dare ask him to pay for the damages, and obediently got Lin Tian another room. Lin Tian didn''t know who Wu Fei was, but the hotel owner did. Even Wu Fei had suffered a loss in front of Lin Tian, so the hotel owner didn''t want any trouble either. After changing to a different room and tidying up for a while, Lin Tian felt no different. The next day, after breakfast, Lin Tian took a taxi to look for Wang Luodan. Today is Monday; the Civil Affairs Bureau should be at work. Lin Tian took a taxi heading toward Wang Luodan''s home. As he neared her ce, Lin Tian suddenly discovered that the blinking red lighting from Wang Luodan wasn''t at her home but was up ahead not too far away. Upon seeing the blinking red light not far ahead, Lin Tian was stunned for a moment before he looked up at the driver and said, "Master, stop the car." After the car stopped and he paid the fare, Lin Tian opened the door and walked slowly toward the source of the blinking red light. Wang Luodan should be up ahead. After turning a corner, Lin Tian noticed amotion just a dozen meters away, and saw that a crowd had gathered. Seeing this, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. Through the blinking red light, it was obvious that Wang Luodan was inside. After a moment''s thought, Lin Tian walked over. "Hey, do you think you can just walk away after bumping into my car? Do you know how much this car costs? Can you afford topensate?" Wu Fei, shaking his foot, red at Wang Luodan and pointed at the ck Bentley beside him. Wang Luodan''s pretty face turned bright red with anger as she retorted angrily, "What''s wrong with you? It was clearly your car that almost hit me! And you say I hit your car! The nerve you have to im that I ran into your car!" "So what? People can''t hit cars? Let me tell you, you''re not leaving today without giving me an exnation!" Wu Fei said, shaking his foot with a look of certainty on his face as if he had Wang Luodan pegged. At this moment, some onlookers quietly took out their phones, ready to record. "No recording! No recording!" But at this time, four or five tall men behind Wu Fei, each standing at about one meter eighty, scolded fiercely. Seeing anyone trying to pull out their phones, they moved over, looking ready to hit someone. The bystanders just wanted to watch the drama and didn''t want to get involved in trouble. Seeing how menacing these men were, they didn''t dare to do anything and just curiously turned their gaze inward. Wang Luodan nced at the strong men, then back at Wu Fei, who was smiling in a not-so-friendly way. She felt very angry. Yet she also knew, given the situation, that confronting these people wouldn''t end well for her. With that thought, Wang Luodan red at Wu Fei and snorted, "I can''t be bothered with you!" With that, she turned around to leave. "Where do you think you''re going?" Wu Fei suddenly grabbed her wrist. Wu Fei, holding Wang Luodan''s wrist, said with a grin, "Leaving without settling things? Do you think just because you''re a beauty you can do that?" As he spoke, Wu Fei''s hand reached toward Wang Luodan''s pretty face with a sleazy smile. p! But abruptly, a hand pped away Wu Fei''s hand. The p was heavy, turning Wu Fei''s hand red and sending a stinging pain through it. "Damn it, who is this!" Wu Fei turned around angrily. Seeing the person beside him, Wu Fei was taken aback. Wang Luodan was also startled by the unexpected intervention and, turning her head, was surprised when she saw who it was, "It''s you?" The four or five strong men also noticed Lin Tian and quickly approached. Lin Tian''s action had been too sudden and too fast, and most importantly, they hadn''t expected anyone to dare intervene. It wasn''t until Lin Tian pped Wu Fei''s hand away that they reacted. Seeing the strong men heading their way, Wu Fei rubbed his aching hand and waved them off, signaling them not toe closer. Wu Fei, aware of Lin Tian''s capabilities, knew those men would be useless. After ncing at the surprised Wang Luodan, Lin Tian asked calmly, "What happened?" After a moment of hesitation, Wang Luodan exined, "I was walking just now when suddenly a horn sounded from behind. I didn''t manage to get out of the way in time, and the car nearly hit me. Yet this person imed he had to swerve to avoid hitting me and that I nearly ran into his car!" "Hmm?" Lin Tian was taken aback, a person running into a car? Lin Tian turned to Wu Fei and asked, "Is that so?" Wu Fei frowned at Lin Tian, rubbing his reddened hand, and said coldly, "Kid, don''t meddle in other people''s affairs." "Since that''s the case, I think you owe an apology," Lin Tian said calmly, looking at Wu Fei. Seeing that Lin Tian not only ignored him but also demanded an apology, Wu Fei was instantly irate and shouted, "Kid, who do you think you are, telling me to get lost? Don''t think I''m really afraid of you!" "Is that so?" Lin Tian chuckled lightly. Suddenly, he reached out to p Wu Fei''s head,manding, "Apologize!" p! The p caused Wu Fei to stagger, trembling, almost falling to the ground. "Brother Wu! Brother Wu!" Seeing this scene, the surrounding onlookers and several strong men hurried over. "It''s nothing!" Wu Fei, supporting himself on the car''s hood, stood up and gestured with his hand. Feeling his head buzzing slightly, Wu Fei chuckled softly, his expression calm as he looked at Lin Tian. Then he turned to Wang Luodan and said, "I''m sorry!" After that, Wu Fei, his face ashen, turned and walked away quickly. "Whew!" Watching the ck Bentley speed off, everyone was stunned. Could that man be a paper tiger, tamed after just one reprimand from this young man? Lin Tian frowned, feeling uneasy about the way Wu Fei looked at him before he left. After pondering for a while, Lin Tian shook his head, deciding to focus onpleting his task first. With that thought, Lin Tian turned to Wang Luodan, still slightly in shock, and asked, "Where''s Wang Tao?" "Oh! He''s at home," answered Wang Luodan after a pause. "Okay then, let''s head back," Lin Tian said. Without further ado, Lin Tian and Wang Luodan walked toward her home, as it wasn''t far off and was a short walk. Meanwhile, Wu Fei, his face grim, drove the car swiftly, flooring the gas pedal! Frustration! Rage!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om He had never been so humiliated in his life. "Brother Wu, are we just going to let that kid off like this?" Theckey in the passenger seat looked at Wu Fei with a puzzled face, wondering why Wu Fei had let Lin Tian off so easily and even apologized, humbly submitting. This wasn''t Wu Fei''s usual style. "Let him off?" Wu Fei red ahead fiercely, his teeth clenched, "I''m going to have someone kill him! Damn it, without flexing my muscles, they don''t realize how many eyes the ''Prince'' has!" Murderous intent shed in Wu Fei''s eyes! He harbored a killing intent! Chapter 68 Almost Having returned home with Wang Luodan, Wang Tao was waiting at home. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Tao wasn''t too surprised. "Let''s go," Lin Tian said calmly after giving them both a nce. Wang Luodan and her partner didn''t speak. They picked up some documents, packed a bit, and walked out. They then took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau and followed the procedure on arrival. Lin Tian, somewhat bored, watched the two bustling around. After almost half an hour, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau stamped the big seal on the divorce certificate. The moment the seal was stamped, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Task: The follow-up mission ''Help Wang Luodan divorce'' has beenpleted. Reward: one Supernatural Point." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian, who had been bored leaning against the wall, was delighted: "Finally done." Then he walked over to them with a smile. Looking at them, Lin Tian said with a smile, "Congrattions to you both on regaining your freedom. I''ll be leaving first. See you again if fate wills it!" With that, Lin Tian left with a light step. "Uh..." Wang Luodan and Wang Tao were stunned as they watched Lin Tian turn and leave, dumbfounded. What''s with this guy, so strange, going through all that trouble to get them divorced and then just leaving without a care? Are there really such people? After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Tian hummed a tune and walked away. As for what Wang Luodan and the other person thought, he didn''t care. He didn''t want to spend the energy exining, as long as he had secured the Supernatural Points that was enough. "The two Supernatural Points I saved earlier, plus the one I just got, now I have three Supernatural Points," Lin Tian quietly calcted his Supernatural Points. Thinking for a moment about his superpower, Lin Tian put his thoughts aside and murmured to himself, "It''s time to leave this ce, I''ve had enough fun here, and it''s boring being here by myself. I''ll take a ne to visit Mengting tomorrow." After ying on the beach for so many days, he had done everything there was to do, and with He Qianqian not around, Lin Tian decided to leave. "I wonder what Mengting is up to, whether she misses me or not," Lin Tian thought to himself. Originally, Lin Tian wanted to invite Bu Mengting toe to Sanya for some fun, but thinking of He Qianqian by his side, he didn''t put that thought into action. Having beauties on each arm is wonderful, but Lin Tian simply couldn''t handle it right now. Lin Tian was certain that if he had really done so, he might end up alone, most likely spending a lonely and silent night. "I wonder how Qianqian is doing? Thest time we talked on the phone, she said her grandmother''s condition was not optimistic," Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself: "I''ll go to check on her after I see Mengting." Having decided on his itinerary, Lin Tian hailed a taxi and went back to the hotel. Back at the hotel, he packed up, gathering all the things he needed to take and then booked a flight for the next morning. After lunch, with nothing else to do, Lin Tian aimlessly wandered the streets. Lin Tian didn''t want to go to crowded ces. In some quiet ces, he felt a different kind of charm. Slowly walking, not just looking around, he felt the surrounding architecture, experiencing the passing of years on these structures, imagining all kinds of stories that happened within this time. It was quite interesting. As he walked on, suddenly a frantic screeching of brakes sounded! "Squeak, squeak~~!" The sudden braking left two ck skid marks on the cement road. Lin Tian turned his head in surprise. As soon as he turned his head, Lin Tian''s pupils contracted! A gaping ck hole! A ck barrel of a gun was pointing at him! "Pfft!" A faint sound suddenly emerged¡ªthat of a silenced gunshot! Bang! Lin Tian felt a surge of force against his chest! Stumbling, Lin Tian''s chest suddenly burst with blood! With gritted teeth, Lin Tian staggered toward a nearby alleyway. "Pfft! Pfft!" As Lin Tian was too fast, the next few shots failed to hit him. "Damn! Missed! You wait here, I''ll go down and finish him off!" The young man holding the gun cursed, said something to the driver, and then jumped out of the car to pursue. When he reached the entrance of the alley, he just saw Lin Tian disappear around the corner. Seeing this, he hurriedly chased after him. "Huff, huff!" Leaning against a corner wall, Lin Tian gasped heavily, his right hand tightly clutching his left chest. That was close! That shot was so close to hitting his heart! If he hadn''t snapped back to reality and tensed his muscles at the crucial moment, the bullet definitely could have hit his heart. The pain in his chest made Lin Tian wince, hisplexion turning a bit pale. "Damn!" Lin Tian cursed, quickly summoning the superpower menu. Lin Tian could already hear the footsteps of his pursuer. Opening the superpower menu, he skimmed through it and his gaze immediately settled on an option: Level 0 Healing Water. Requires one Supernatural Point to exchange. Seeing the Healing Water, Lin Tian exchanged for it without hesitation. With a thought from Lin Tian, a small ss bottle suddenly appeared in his hand. Meanwhile, the footsteps behind him were getting closer. Struggling, Lin Tian stood up and quickly moved away, ''pop'' opening the Healing Water and downing it in one gulp. "Whew!" After drinking the Healing Water, Lin Tian stopped at a corner to catch his breath. As the Healing Water went down, Lin Tian felt a surge of warmth in his stomach, which quickly traveled to his left chest. Eventually, the warmth stopped at the wound. With the arrival of the warmth, Lin Tian could feel his muscles at the wound site begin to shift. As the muscles moved, the bullet that had been lodged in Lin Tian''s flesh began to slowly push outward. A few secondster, the bloodied bullet dropped to the ground with a plop. As the bullet fell, Lin Tian''s wound began to stop bleeding. Meanwhile, Lin Tian felt an itching sensation at the wound, a sign that flesh was beginning to grow back. The growth of the flesh bud was incredibly fast; within just a few seconds, Lin Tian could feel the wound had already healed. Lin Tian looked down to see the scar on his chest had fallen off, leaving skin that was slightly tender but otherwise indistinguishable from the rest. At that moment, the footsteps were heard again. Upon hearing the footsteps, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, with a glint of murderous intent shing through them! "Tap, tap..." The footsteps drew closer at a slow pace. Lin Tian took a deep breath, picked up a small stone from the ground, and pressed his body against the wall, silently waiting. "Tap, tap..." The footsteps approached gradually. They were near! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed as he lightly tossed the small stone in his hand outwards. Tap! The stone started rolling suddenly!n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om The person instinctively looked towards the stone. In that instant, Lin Tian''s muscles tensed up, and he pushed off the ground with a shout: "Hey!" Whoosh! Lin Tian moved swiftly, even causing a whistling sound in the air! The person, who had just focused on the stone, had no time to react. Just as he attempted to lift his gun to shoot at Lin Tian, Lin Tian already kicked at his gun-holding wrist! Crack! Ah! A scream resounded! Lin Tian''s kick had broken the wrist holding the gun! In an instant, the wrist was fractured at a sixty-degree angle, and the gun in his hand flew out! "Hey!" Lin Tian closed in, his knee mming harshly into the other man''s abdomen! "Oof!" The man crumpled to the ground in pain. Lin Tian, with an expressionless face, delivered several more merciless kicks! Crack, crack! The sounds of bones breaking echoed one after another! Lin Tian had rendered the man''s limbs useless! After doing all this, Lin Tian finally let out a breath and rxed somewhat. He nced at the person writhing in agony on the ground but didn''t pay him any more attention, instead walking over to pick up the pistol that had fallen to the side. Weighing the pistol, Lin Tian walked towards the man and pointed the barrel at his forehead, demanding coldly, "Speak, why are you trying to kill me!" With the ominous barrel pointed at his forehead, the man turned pale and managed to say with a pained face, "Someone else told me to kill you!" "Who?" "Wu Fei!" "Wu Fei?" Lin Tian frowned, as he did not recognize anyone named Wu Fei. Suddenly, Lin Tian thought of someone and asked, "Is Wu Fei the young man with dyed yellow hair?" "Yes, yes!" the man nodded hurriedly. "Good!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally figured out who it was. Lin Tian truly hadn''t expected that Wu Fei would actually arrange for someone to kill him. "Since you dare to do this, prepare to face my wrath!" A cold light flickered in Lin Tian''s eyes. With that in mind, Lin Tian lifted the man with one hand and quickly made his way back to the original spot. Lin Tian remembered that they must have driven a car here. Meanwhile, at the entrance of the alley, the driver was waiting boredly, somewhatining about the man taking too long. After a while, he suddenly heard footsteps and thought it was the man returning; when he turned his head, he discovered the barrel of a gun pointing at him. Lin Tian activated his superpower and scanned the driver, making sure he was unarmed before he felt somewhat relieved. Lin Tian opened the car door, threw the man in his hands inside, and then took a seat himself,manding coldly, "Drive." "Where to?" the driver asked, sweating and clearly uneasy with a gun pointed at him. "To find Wu Fei! Where is he now?" "..." After hesitating, the driver answered, "He''s at home now." "Drive straight there, and don''t lie to me. My bullet doesn''t discriminate whom it hits!" Lin Tian said coldly. Sweat covered the driver''s face as he prepared to drive. Half an hourter, the car stopped outside arge mansion in the suburbs. Lin Tian scanned the mansion; it was sorge it epassed thousands of square meters. Moreover, it had its own dedicated gatekeepers. The mansion was extremely dominating, surrounded by trees that kept other mansions at bay. "This is it. I advise you not to act rashly. You can''t contend with the power of the Wu Family!" the driver warned. "Is that so?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he ordered, "Charge through!" "What?" the driver was taken aback. Lin Tian pressed the gun against the top of his head and said coldly, "Didn''t you hear me? I told you to charge through! At the fastest speed!" If he could drive himself, he wouldn''t need this man! With the barrel against his head, the driver gritted his teeth and floored the gas pedal! "Whoosh!" The ck Audi''s speed soared to its limit! Tearing through the air with a howling noise! Boom! With a loud crash, the ck Audi mmed violently against the mansion''s gate! The entire gate shook! Chapter 69 Sorry ``` Bang! With a loud crash, the gate trembled. The entire iron gate was dented in, but despite being loosened, astonishingly, the gate had not been broken down. Lin Tian opened the car door, walked up to the gate, and kicked it fiercely! Bang! Another loud noise resonated! Under Lin Tian''s immense force, the already shaky gate was kicked open with a bang. Lin Tian walked in with a cold expression. "Hey, what are you doing!" After being stunned for a moment, the guard suddenly rushed over and scolded. Lin Tian, without even looking, swung his hand and pped him! Smack! He sent him flying with the p! ** The loud bang outside startled Wu Bin in the living room. After hesitating for a moment, Wu Bin walked to the balcony, looking somewhat puzzled. Seeing Wu Bin move, Lai Flying Dragon, who had been following behind Wu Bin, also went over. Sitting to the side, Wu Fei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly followed. The group had just reached the balcony when they saw Lin Tian walking in, his face cold. Is that him? Seeing Lin Tian, Wu Bin was taken aback. He still remembered the scene of Lin Tian at the casino a few days earlier. He was somewhat baffled by how Lin Tian had found this ce, and his demeanor seemed far from friendly.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om "What''s going on?" Wu Bin, confused, turned his head and looked towards Lai Flying Dragon at his side. He thought Lai Flying Dragon had done something to Lin Tian behind his back. "I have no idea either," replied Lai Flying Dragon, equally baffled. Having confirmed that Lai Flying Dragon had nothing to do with it, Wu Bin turned again with a puzzling look toward Lin Tian below. Behind Wu Bin, Wu Fei also saw Lin Tian below. Seeing Lin Tian, his face appeared extremely shocked. How did he get here? Wasn''t he supposed to be dealt with? The arrival of Lin Tian came as a great shock to Wu Fei. As Wu Bin and the others appeared on the balcony, Lin Tian also saw them. Lin Tian looked up and spotted Wu Bin and Lai Flying Dragon on the balcony. Seeing them, a sh of surprise crossed Lin Tian''s eyes, then his gaze moved past the two men to the bleached-haired Wu Fei behind them. Seeing Wu Fei, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed. He quickened his pace and charged forward. "Hey, what are you doing?" As Lin Tian charged, about four or five men rushed out, blocking Lin Tian''s path. Lin Tian, with a stone-cold face, threw punches and kicks, swiftly subduing the men, and then continued to run forward without slowing down. When he reached about 23 meters away from the balcony, Lin Tian let out a loud shout, tensed all his muscles, and then leaped into the air! Lin Tian flew towards the balcony where Wu Bin was! Seeing Lin Tian leaping over, Lai Flying Dragon squinted his eyes and immediately ced his hand on his waist. "Wait!" Noticing Lai Flying Dragon''s action, Wu Bin shook his head. Upon hearing Wu Bin''s words, Lai Flying Dragon''s hand paused, but it did not leave his waist. Heh! With a shout, Lin Tian grabbed the edge of the balcony, tensed the muscles in his arms, pushed hard, and vaulted over the railing into the balcony. Lin Tiannded on the balcony with a p, narrowed his eyes looking at Wu Fei, and said in a chilling voice, "Was it you who sent someone to kill me?" Hearing this usation, Wu Fei''s expression changed. Showing no sign of panic, he retorted vehemently, "So what if it was!" "Very well!" Lin Tian reached out to grab him. Whoosh! Noticing Lin Tian''s movement, Lai Flying Dragon quickly drew his handgun. Lin Tian, who had been keeping an eye on him, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and with the speed of lightning, his body barreled into Lai Flying Dragon just as he drew his handgun. There wasn''t enough time; too close forfort, Lai Flying Dragon then swung the butt of the gun towards Lin Tian''s head. The strike was both fast and fierce! ``` Bang! A solid blow struck Lin Tian''s head, and blood began to seep from his scalp. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, clutched Flying Dragon with both hands, and ferociously mmed him onto the ground! Bang! In an instant, the entire balcony trembled! Flying Dragon immediately felt fractures happening all over his body, rendering him unable to move in the blink of an eye! A sh of shock passed through Flying Dragon''s eyes. Incredible strength! The force was too great! This single strike hadpletely crushed Flying Dragon''sbat effectiveness! Wiping the blood from his forehead, Lin Tian bent down and took the handgun from Flying Dragon''s hand. With the handgun in hand, Lin Tian, with a cold face, aimed it at Wu Fei and said chillingly, "What do you suggest now?" Feeling the gun pointed at him, Wu Fei instantly felt his mouth go dry, and his earlier arrogance vanished. Next to him, Wu Bin was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing what was happening, and hastily said with a smile, "Young brother, could there be some misunderstanding?" "Misunderstanding?" Lin Tian sneered, "You ask him." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wu Bin turned his head to look at Wu Fei, whose face was bing pale, and barked, "Speak up, what happened!" "This, this..." Wu Fei hesitated, then began to exin in a faltering manner. This time, Wu Fei did not distort the truth and recounted the events as they had happened. Upon hearing Wu Fei''s words, Wu Bin became enraged and pped him across the face, "Wretched fool, kneel down and apologize! How dare you defy me!" "p!" Wu Bin''s palm turned Wu Fei''s face bright red. Wu Fei looked at Wu Bin with a dazed expression, somewhat in disbelief. Seeing Wu Fei''s stupefaction, Wu Bin pped him again, furiously demanding, "Kneel down!" A struggle shed across Wu Fei''s face. After hesitating, he finally knelt down and apologized to Lin Tian, "I''m sorry!" "Uh..." This time it was Lin Tian who was astonished. He had not anticipated this scene at all. ncing at Lin Tian, Wu Bin apologized with a smile, "Could you consider overlooking this matter for my sake, young brother? I willpensate you." Looking down at Wu Fei, who was kneeling before him, Lin Tian mulled over various thoughts. Finally, he took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, I appreciate it, young brother!" Seeing Lin Tian agree, a hint of joy crossed Wu Bin''s face. An hourter, Lin Tian left Wu Bin''s vi. By then, Lin Tian''s ount had increased by twenty million in cash. This was Wu Bin''spensation to him. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian turned to look back at the Wu Family vi onest time before walking away. The reason why he agreed to Wu Bin''s request was not only because he had calmed down and didn''t want to kill, but there was another reason: he was unsure what to do after killing someone. If he had killed Wu Fei, he would definitely have faced Wu Bin''s revengeter on. If he were to take them all out, aside from questioning whether he could bring himself to kill that many people, even if he could, the aftermath of so many sudden deaths would be very troublesome. Even if no one had seen Lin Tianmit the murders, the police would have suspected him due to the previous conflict with Wu Fei. Even if the police couldn''t find any evidence, they would have kept a close watch on him. Being under such intense scrutiny was not what Lin Tian wished for. After some consideration, agreeing to Wu Bin''s request seemed to be the best option. He believed that with Wu Bin''s influence, Wu Fei would not dare to act recklessly again. And, this time, he had gained twenty million in cash, which was a small constion. On the other side, inside the vi, Wu Bin looked at Flying Dragon lying in bed and asked, "How strong is he?" Flying Dragon closed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Very strong." "Can we take him on directly?" Wu Bin asked. Flying Dragon gently shook his head and advised, "It''s best not to provoke such people. I''ve encountered one before, and they are not someone that ordinary people can deal with!" Wu Bin nodded slightly, then turned to Wu Fei and instructed, "Be more respectful if you see him again in the future. For such a person, we should turn enemies into friends!" "Understood," Wu Fei nodded earnestly. Chapter 70 Reflection Back at the hotel, Lin Tian sat on the bed and let out a long sigh. Lin Tian looked down at his left chest. The bloodstains on the white T-shirt had been washed clean by him, but some faint red marks could still be seen. Within this pool of bloodstains, there was a hole the size of a little finger on the white T-shirt. That was exactly where the bullet had struck. Reaching out, he gently touched the hole in the shirt, Lin Tian remained silent. "Have I been too arrogant?" Lin Tian mumbled to himself as he looked down. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes. The gunshot today had given Lin Tian a great shock. If he hadn''t snapped back to reality in time, if he hadn''t tensed up his muscles, that bullet might have really prated his heart. He could have died! He wasn''t invincible after all. It was fine facing a single gun today, but what if he had to face seven or eight guns, or a machine gun firing at him? At this thought, Lin Tian shuddered. "Huff!" Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and slowly started to think, trying to get his thoughts in order. Everything that happened today was because of Wu Fei. And why Wu Fei would want to kill him, setting aside Wu Fei''s own reasons and thinking about himself... Thinking of himself, Lin Tian recalled the scene where he had forced Wu Fei to apologize in the street. Perhaps to Wu Fei, that was an unbearable humiliation, a vengeance that had to be avenged, hence today''s incident. Then, had he done something wrong? Lin Tian shook his head slightly; that was indeed what he had thought and done at the time. And all his confidence came from the Supernatural Ability System. "Supernatural Ability System..." Thinking of this, Lin Tian murmured to himself. Today''s shooting made Lin Tian realize that having the Supernatural Ability System did not make him invincible. In the past, Lin Tian had thought that with the Supernatural Ability System, he could do whatever he wanted, indulge in his emotions and grudges, because he had the miraculous Supernatural Ability System. The Supernatural Ability System was indeed miraculous, but today''s incident had told Lin Tian very realistically that even with the Supernatural Ability System, he was not invincible. At least not now. "Should it be like before?" A hint of confusion shed in Lin Tian''s eyes. What was it like before? When his teachers called him trash, he dared not talk back; when local hooligans beat him, he didn''t dare to retaliate; when he saw someone bullying the weak, he could only watch, not daring to step forward! Should everything go back to the way it was before? A hint of confusion shed in Lin Tian''s eyes. After a moment of bewilderment, Lin Tian took a deep breath, his eyes gaining a bit of determination, "No! If it''s still the same as before, I might as well be dead. Gaining the Supernatural Ability System and still being useless is even worse than an ordinary person!" Lin Tian''s eyes were very determined. But at the same time, today''s lesson told him that when he was not very powerful, he should not be too arrogant. Because being too cocky is asking for death! Lin Tian thought of his parents, his rtives, thought of He Qianqian, thought of Bu Mengting. If he caused too much trouble outside and they couldn''t deal with him, what if they targeted these people? The thought made Lin Tian shiver! No! He absolutely would not allow that to happen. Because if it did, he would regret it for the rest of his life! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, "I must eliminate this possibility!" With that thought, Lin Tian quickly opened the Supernatural Ability menu, searching through it. After a quick search, Lin Tian closed the Supernatural Ability menu somewhat disappointed. It wasn''t there! The Supernatural Ability menu had no abilities that he was looking for. Lin Tian had actually memorized the 20 abilities listed there long ago, and had only opened it just now hoping against hope. But it wasn''t there. "It''s not there..." Lin Tian pondered in silence, then his eyes slightly brightened as he murmured, "If it''s not there, then I''ll create one myself!" Lin Tian remembered clearly that after the Supernatural Ability System upgraded, a new function was added: he could create a superpower he wanted by spending ten Supernatural Points. "I must have this superpower!" Lin Tian''s eyes were very determined. Having this superpower could prevent those tragic incidents from happening to his friends and family. This was a superpower Lin Tian had to obtain! With this in mind, Lin Tian once again immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness. In the Sea of Consciousness, gazing at two golden beans that floated gently like Supernatural Points, Lin Tian silently thought, "Two Supernatural Points! I still need to umte eight more." Having used a Supernatural Point on a Level 0 Healing Water because of the gunshot, Lin Tian had only two Supernatural Points left now. After a bit of contemtion, Lin Tian opened his eyes, stood up, and let out a sigh, his eyes returning to calmness. He had decided that in the future, he could tone down his arrogance on some unnecessary matters. But this didn''t mean he was scared; if trouble came, Lin Tian would still act without hesitation. Lin Tian, a name with a destiny in itself, his very nature prevented him from being a silent man! Strike when it''s time to strike! After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Tian suddenly remembered something, that is, whether he had been toocent about Wu Bin. At that time, he had thought Wu Bin wouldn''t do anything to him, wouldn''t seek revenge. But could the father of a son like Wu Fei actually be a pleasant person to deal with? As he thought about it, Lin Tianyi was startled. He felt he had been too careless. If Wu Bin were to seek revenge on him, it wouldn''t be as simple as with Wu Fei. There would definitely be a meticulous n, and if Wu Bin made his move, he really might end up dead. At the thought, Lin Tian broke out in a cold sweat. After pondering for a while, Lin Tian went invisible and quietly opened his room door¡­ Around eight o''clock in the evening, the invisible Lin Tian returned to his room once again. Through observation while invisible, although he didn''t know why, Lin Tian had confirmed that Wu Bin really had no intention of taking revenge on him. And this answer let Lin Tian breathe a sigh of relief. The night passed without incident. Early the next day, Lin Tian packed up and took a taxi to the airport. Sitting in the back seat of the cab, Lin Tian made a call to Bu Mengting, "Mengting, I''m about to get on the ne, I should arrive around two in the afternoon." "Really? That''s great!" A voice filled with surprise came from the phone. "What about you? Miss me?" Lin Tian chuckled. "Miss you? Not at all!" Bu Mengting snorted. "Not yet! You must be lying to me! Besides, you look really cute right now!" Lin Tian chuckled again. "What?" Bu Mengting asked somewhat puzzled. "Right now, you''re probably curving your lips upward, pouting, with an unhappy expression, but your eyes are brimming withughter," Lin Tian chuckled and said. "Ah? How do you know?" Bu Mengting asked in surprise, looking around. "Because I know your heart! Our hearts are connected!" Lin Tian chuckled. Bu Mengting paused for a moment, then disdainfully said, "Pfft! Whatever!" "Don''t believe me, huh? That''s so sad. And to think I was missing you so muchst night that I couldn''t sleep!" Lin Tian leaned back in the seat, speaking leisurely. "Really?" Bu Mengting''s voice came through the phone,ced with a hint of gleeful disbelief. "Of course!" Lin Tian shamelessly affirmed. In reality, he had slept like a log the previous night. "Oh, here it is!" Suddenly, Bu Mengting''s voice came through the phone again; she seemed to be talking to someone else. After a moment, she returned to the line, "Alright, I can''t talk anymore, my mom is calling me. We''ll chatter." "Oh! Okay!" Lin Tian replied with a smile and hung up the phone. Seeing Lin Tian end the call, the driver nced at him through the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Young man, was that your girlfriend? She has a sweet voice, seems like a beauty!" "Indeed!" Lin Tian replied somewhat proudly, smiling slightly, "She''s the school beauty of our campus. So many people are after her!" "Then you''ve got some skills,nding her like that!" The driver nced at Lin Tian with a bit of envy. "It''s alright. Actually, she was the one who approached me. Can''t help it, being handsome is just so charming!" Saying this, Lin Tian flipped his hair with a self-admiring look on his face. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the driver''s mouth twitched slightly in speechlessness. But that wasn''t the end of it. After a brief silence, the driver noticed that Lin Tian had made another call. "Hello? Qianqian?" "Yeah, take care of yourself. I''lle to see you after a while. No, I''m going toe! Alright then, kiss me! Mm, that''s more like it! Bye bye!" Lin Tian smiled as he hung up the phone. The driver nced at Lin Tian curiously and asked oddly, "And who might that be?" "That''s my main wife, the earlier one is my mistress!" Lin Tian chuckled. "Um..." The driver was taken aback, his expression a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om Inwardly, heined: Damn! I''m nearly 28 and don''t have a girlfriend yet, and this kid is two-timing with two girls, talking about main and mistress! Is there no justice in life! After letting off some steam internally, the driver remembered something and asked curiously, "The girl you called just now sounded older than you!" Upon hearing her voice, the driver could tell that He Qianqian was not a teenage girl. "Oh, my main wife is 26 today. She''s 7 years older than me!" "..." The driver fell silent at the response. Damn, the kid isn''t picky at all! Lin Tian hadn''t finished his tale and nonchntly continued, "My wife is a teacher; she has many admirers in school as well ¨C she''s my goddess!" "..." The driver fell silent again, feeling somewhat numb. Damn! He even managed to win over a teacher! He''s out of this world! After a pause, the driver asked somewhat baffled, "Young man, share your seduction secrets with me, my future happiness depends on you!" "Ah?" Lin Tian looked baffled, as if he might have bluffed a bit too much? ... Half an hourter, with the driver''s reluctant gaze upon him, Lin Tian decisively opened the car door and walked quickly towards the airport. Lin Tian regretted his earlier boasting; he was truly annoyed by the man''s nagging. Watching Lin Tian walk away quickly without looking back. The driver envied, "Damn! This kid''s got two gorgeous women, why don''t I have even one!" The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone! Chapter 71 Boyfriend Two hours later, Lin Tian, with a bag on his back, arrived at the Jinhua Airport hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Lin Tian looked around, unsure of what to choose."Lin Tian, over here!" Looking around, Lin Tian suddenly heard a pleasant voice coming from the front. Lin Tian turned his head and saw Bu Mengting, wearing denim shorts, standing in the crowd, waving at him. Lin Tian smiled slightly and walked over. Upon seeing Lin Tian, Bu Mengting seemed a bit excited, quickly running over to him. As she reached Lin Tian, Bu Mengting jumped up, hurling herself directly at Lin Tian''s body. "Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback as he caught Bu Mengting, somewhat surprised, he said, "Girl, didn''t you say you didn''t miss me? Why the enthusiasm?" "Hmph!" Bu Mengting hugged Lin Tian tightly and snorted coldly without saying a word. Lin Tian, somewhat helpless, patted Bu Mengting''s back and looked around at the surrounding crowd with a wry smile, "If you keep hugging me like this, we''re going to become animals in a zoo." Because of Bu Mengting''s enthusiasm, the people around were casting curious glances. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting quickly raised her head and looked around, only to discover that many people were looking at them. With so many onlookers, Bu Mengting felt a bit shy and stuck out her tongue, her cheeks blushing slightly. Lin Tian smiled faintly, reached out to take Bu Mengting''s soft little hand, and said with a smile, "Let''s go." "Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded gently and held Lin Tian''s hand tighter. The two left the airport and immediately hailed a taxi. "Driver, to Fenghuang Road!" Lin Tian said as soon as they got into the car. Before coming to Jinhua, Lin Tian had already planned to find a hotel to stay in near Bu Mengting''s home, which would make it more convenient for them to meet. And Bu Mengting''s home was on Fenghuang Road. Upon reaching Fenghuang Road and searching for a while, Lin Tian eventually settled into a Three Stars hotel. "Heh, I missed you, after all!" Lin Tian chuckled, then began to take off his backpack and went into the bathroom to wash his face. While watching Lin Tian, Bu Mengting was about to say something when she felt a vibration in her pocket. Bu Mengting took out her phone and saw it was ringing. After a glance at the phone screen, Bu Mengting paused and seemed to think of something. She hesitated but eventually decided to answer the call. "Hello? Is that you, Ningning? Yeah? I know, but I''m a bit tied up today, how about another day? I really have something on today. Okay, good, let''s touch base later! So sorry." As Lin Tian wiped his face with a towel, he curiously watched Bu Mengting having the phone conversation. When Bu Mengting finished the call, Lin Tian paused and asked with curiosity, "Your friend?" "Mm!" Bu Mengting nodded lightly and explained, "I had actually made plans with my friend to go ice skating this afternoon, but I forgot to inform him when you came." "Ice skating, huh..." Lin Tian thought for a moment as he continued to dry his hands with the towel and nodded, "Then let''s go. I''ll come too; it wouldn''t be nice to break a promise. It would be fun for me too." "If you don''t want to go, it''s okay, no worries." Bu Mengting said, looking up at Lin Tian. "It''s fine!" Lin Tian replied with a light smile, casually hanging the towel on the wall and continued, "I''d like to have some fun as well; I''ve never tried it before. Do you know how to ice skate?" "I know a little." Hearing Lin Tian say that, Bu Mengting seemed a bit happy, "Actually, I kind of wanted to go skating too, just worried you wouldn''t be happy about it." Noticing the joy in Bu Mengting''s eyes, Lin Tian chuckled lightly, walked up to her, and playfully tickled her nose, "Go ahead and make the call." Pouting, Bu Mengting slapped Lin Tian''s hand away and rolled her eyes at him, then she began to dial, "Hello, Ningning? Are you free this afternoon? Still up for skating? Yeah, I''m okay now, let''s go together. Alright. Oh, and I have a friend who''ll be joining us. Okay, we''ll touch base soon." After Bu Mengting hung up the call, Lin Tian stood behind her and wrapped his arms gently around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder and took a deep breath. As he inhaled, a faint fragrance enveloped him. Lin Tian whispered into Bu Mengting''s glistening earlobe, with his breath warm against it, "Beautiful, now that you''re done with the call, shouldn''t we also have a chat?" "No, that tickles!" Bu Mengting slightly twisted her waist awkwardly, her pretty face blushing a bit. With Lin Tian''s breath on her ear, Bu Mengting felt extremely ticklish. After leaving the hotel, they took a cab. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of People''s Park. As soon as they got out of the car, Bu Mengting curiously looked around. However, she was puzzled to find that she didn''t see her friends. Unable to find the person she was waiting for, Bu Mengting took out her phone with some confusion and dialed a number: "Hello, we''re here, where are you?" "Oh? You''ve arrived? I''ll be right there," came a voice from the phone. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was curiously looking around. "Mengting!" After a short wait, suddenly a voice came from inside the park. Immediately, a figure quickly ran out. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled and turned his head to look with some surprise. A guy? Was it actually a guy? Lin Tian felt extremely astonished. "Mengting!" At that moment, the boy had already run over quickly and stood in front of Bu Mengting with a brilliant smile on his face. But then he also noticed Lin Tian next to Bu Mengting. A look of surprise appeared on his face as he looked at Bu Mengting with some confusion, and then at Lin Tian, Mengting: "Mengting, who is this...?" Bu Mengting gave Lin Tian a glance, her face showing a shy smile as she whispered, "This is my boyfriend, Lin Tian." "Boyfriend?" The boy''s mouth dropped open in astonishment. He looked Lin Tian up and down with some surprise. His gaze carried a hint of scrutiny. Soon after, a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Lin Tian clearly saw the disdain in his eyes. Even though he was somewhat annoyed by the other''s contempt, Lin Tian had to admit the man really looked better than he did. An 1.8-meter-tall stature, a well-proportioned body, handsome features, a sunny smile, a clean aura. This kind of person would attract attention anywhere. And Lin Tian? At 1.7 meters tall, he wasn''t particularly handsome, the kind you''d lose in a crowd. In terms of both appearance and aura, the other man completely overshadowed Lin Tian. About this, Lin Tian admitted it. Despite the discontent with the other''s disdain, Lin Tian still had to concede that this was a sunny and handsome young man. He was many people''s ideal Prince Charming. If it had been before, seeing someone like that competing with him for a girl, Lin Tian would have felt his confidence falter and a sense of inferiority. But now... Lin Tian smiled faintly, reached out to hold Bu Mengting''s soft hand, and with a faint smile on his face, he looked at the other man, "So you are Mengting''s friend? She calls you Xiao Ning, I thought you were a girl!" "Actually, not really, his name is An Ningning. It sounds like a girl''s name, but he''s actually a boy!" Bu Mengting explained with a giggly smile, the somewhat dazed girl not noticing the looks exchanged by the two men beside her. Hearing his name mentioned, An Ningning also showed a hint of resignation in his eyes. He hated it when people mentioned his name, a name that had led to so many misunderstandings. Despite his annoyance, An Ningning still extended his hand to Lin Tian with gentlemanly manners: "Hello, my name is An Ningning."

Seeing the hand extended before him, Lin Tian paused, and after a moment, he extended his own hand as well: "Nice to meet you, I''m Lin Tian." While shaking hands, Lin Tian couldn''t help but rant in his mind: "What''s with the handshake, making it all formal." An Ningning noticed Lin Tian''s surprised expression and immediately labeled him as a ''country bumpkin''. Seeing someone whose image and demeanor were inferior to his own, An Ningning felt no pressure. He was confident he could snatch Bu Mengting away from Lin Tian. "Let''s go! Let''s go ice skating!" Bu Mengting didn''t think too much about it and just cheerfully proposed. "Yeah, sure, let''s go ice skating." With that, the three of them headed toward the ice rink. The rink wasn''t far from People''s Park; it was just a ten-minute walk away. Chapter 72 Feels Like Flying! Having arrived at the skating rink, An Ningning hurried to the counter to pay first.At the counter, An Ningning pulled out a black wallet and casually extracted a hundred-yuan bill, saying, "Three people." Lin Tian glanced at it and noticed that his black wallet was bulging, with a stack of red visible on top. It seemed that An Ningning''s family was quite well-off. Lin Tian didn''t mind that the other had hurried to pay first; to him, such small moves were no threat at all. Following Bu Mengting''s example, Lin Tian took off his shoes, put on plastic bags over his feet, and then slipped into the skates. Once dressed, Lin Tian slowly stood up while holding onto the chair next to him. His hands spread out to balance his body. By then, An Ningning had also put on his skates. He gave Lin Tian a glance and said, seemingly surprised, "You can''t skate?" "No, it''s my first time!" Lin Tian held onto the chair and slowly stood up. Although he was up, he dared not take a step. The wheels under his feet made Lin Tian feel like he could fall at any moment. After giving Lin Tian a glance, An Ningning said, "If you can''t skate, just hold onto the railing and go along it, and I''ll teach you later." "Yeah, Xiao Ning is really good at it. He was the one who taught me how to skate," Bu Mengting, who had also put on her skates, chimed in happily upon hearing their conversation. Lin Tian curled his lips when he saw how Bu Mengting stood effortlessly on her skates as if it were normal ground. "I''m going in first." After giving Lin Tian and Bu Mengting a glance, An Ningning said this and then pushed off with his foot. With that push, his body quickly glided into the rink. His movements were swift and graceful! "Let me help you." Bu Mengting didn''t leave. Instead, she glided in front of Lin Tian and reached out to hold his arm. "Great!" Lin Tian responded, and then hesitantly tried to slide his feet forward. But the moment he moved his feet, Lin Tian felt unbalanced and his body instinctively wanted to fall. "Careful!" Bu Mengting steadied Lin Tian''s body. Feeling the imbalance, Lin Tian also instinctively pulled Bu Mengting, hoping to stabilize himself by relying on her. "Ah..." Because of Lin Tian''s pull, Bu Mengting''s body also started to wobble. It took her a while to regain her balance. By then, Lin Tian had also stabilized himself. Lin Tian gave Bu Mengting a glance and said somewhat helplessly, "You go ahead. I''ll just hold onto the railing." "This..." Bu Mengting looked hesitant. Her skills were not that good either; otherwise, she wouldn''t have almost fallen just now. Noticing the hesitation on Bu Mengting''s face, Lin Tian patted her head and smiled, "Go ahead, I can manage." Upon hearing Lin Tian say this, Bu Mengting finally nodded and instructed, "Then be careful." "Hmm, go ahead." Lin Tian nodded. Bu Mengting then glided, her body lightly entering the skating rink. Bu Mengting''s moves were much poorer compared to An Ningning; she was barely managing to move. Catching a glimpse of Bu Mengting who had entered the rink, Lin Tian took a deep breath and slowly moved his feet, making his way to a railing on the side of the wall, and gently slid along it. Once Lin Tian entered the rink, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that skating was much harder than walking. Seeing a chair nearby, Lin Tian thought for a moment, sat down, and then began looking around for Bu Mengting. With a sweep of his gaze, Lin Tian saw Bu Mengting not far ahead. At that moment, Bu Mengting was talking with An Ningning. The two spoke for a while before An Ningning extended his hand, and then Bu Mengting also stretched out her hand. Then An Ningning, holding Bu Mengting''s hand, began to skate. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian frowned, feeling annoyed. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian stood up again and started observing the movements of others'' feet. Lin Tian started to imitate and began moving. But after moving a bit, Lin Tian suddenly felt his feet slip, and his body instantly lost its balance. Bang! Lin Tian fell to the ground and his buttocks ached! "Damn!" Lin Tian cursed and slowly got up, supporting himself with his hands. Lin Tian continued to learn, and this time he did much better, managing to skate four or five meters before falling. Although he fell, Lin Tian felt a surge of excitement. He could clearly sense his progress. Thinking about it, Lin Tian felt it was only natural. He possessed an eidetic memory, super comprehension, and three times the neural response speed of a normal person, among other superpowers. These superpowers directly determined Lin Tian''s ability to learn skating incredibly fast! Lin Tian wobbly stood up, summarized his previous experiences, and began to skate again. This time, because he didn''t control his speed well, he skated over ten meters before falling again. Although he fell again, Lin Tian from Handan City was not at all concerned; instead, he was very confident. Lin Tian could clearly feel his progress each time.

As Lin Tian got up from the ground, he saw An Ningning and Bu Mengting skating towards him. An Ningning and Bu Mengting stopped in front of Lin Tian. An Ningning glanced at Lin Tian, who had just got up from the ground, and chuckled, "Let me teach you a bit." "No need!" Lin Tian shook his head while his gaze swept towards his right hand. At that moment, An Ningning''s right hand was still holding Bu Mengting''s hand. Chapter 72 Feels Like Flying!_2 Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, Bu Mengting was startled and then her face turned slightly red as she let go of An Ningning''s hand.As Bu Mengting let go of her hand, a hint of disappointment flashed in An Ningning''s eyes, but he quickly adjusted and smiled at Lin Tian, "Let me teach you, you won''t learn it like that." "No, really, thank you, I''m a quick learner," Lin Tian nodded slightly. "Alright then!" An Ningning shrugged. Since Lin Tian didn''t want his help, he wouldn''t insist. However, he clearly did not take Lin Tian''s words seriously. Glancing at the two of them, Lin Tian smiled, "You guys go ahead and have fun, I''ll come find you when I''ve got it down." Sensing something, Bu Mengting gently shook her head, "No need, I''ll stay with you." "Really, it''s okay, you go ahead and play," Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled. "No!" Bu Mengting''s attitude was very stubborn. Helpless, Lin Tian thought for a moment and could only point to the chair behind him, "Then go sit there for a while, I''ll learn a bit first, and once I''ve got it down, I''ll join you." "Okay!" Bu Mengting smiled happily. "Then off you go." Saying this, Lin Tian resumed his learning. Seeing Lin Tian begin to practice, Bu Mengting glided towards the chair. Glancing at Bu Mengting, An Ningning followed and sat down beside her. At that moment, Bu Mengting''s gaze remained fixed on Lin Tian, who was practicing on the rink. Noticing Bu Mengting''s gaze, An Ningning followed it to Lin Tian in the rink, a flash of jealousy crossing his eyes. After watching Lin Tian for a while, An Ningning suddenly asked, "Do you really trust him that much?" "What?" Bu Mengting turned her head, a little puzzled. "I mean, do you really trust him? He says he''ll learn how to skate very soon. Do you think it''s possible for someone who has never skated to learn immediately?" An Ningning''s tone was thick with disdain. "I trust him!" Bu Mengting''s tone was very firm, "There''s nothing he can''t do." "Uh..." Hearing Bu Mengting''s firm tone, and that expression of absolute trust, An Ningning was at a loss for words for a moment. Is she an idiot? But why doesn''t she have that kind of faith in me, and instead, so readily trusts a loser? What''s so great about him? Jealousy flickered in An Ningning''s eyes as he impassively glanced at Lin Tian. At a glance, An Ningning was taken aback, sensing that something was off. But he couldn''t put his finger on what exactly was off about Lin Tian. In any case, he felt there was something peculiar about Lin Tian. After observing for a while, watching Lin Tian glide from one end of the rink to the other, An Ningning finally realized what was wrong. Wait a minute, wasn''t this guy supposed to be bad at skating? He was just falling over after sliding a few meters, and now he can glide this far? An Ningning stared at Lin Tian in astonishment as he finally understood what was amiss. As he observed more closely, his shock grew. Eventually, disbelief spread across his face. An Ningning looked at Lin Tian as if he were a monster. In the ten minutes of observation, An Ningning watched as Lin Tian went from barely able, to able, to expert. Staring at Lin Tian who was rapidly moving around the rink, An Ningning felt dazed. Is this really the same Lin Tian who knew nothing just a moment ago? Lin Tian was swiftly gliding across the rink, his feet shifting rapidly as if he were running at high speed. Whoosh! Due to his speed, a whistling sound rang in his ears. As Lin Tian moved swiftly, he suddenly spun around and started skating backward! Whoosh whoosh~! Even though he was going backward, Lin Tian''s movements appeared even more agile. Seeing this, An Ningning was speechless. Even the backward skating was so smooth; Lin Tian was truly a freak! Looking at Lin Tian''s movements, no one would guess that just half an hour earlier, he was someone who had never touched ice skates. After enjoying himself for a while, Lin Tian smiled slightly, glanced at Bu Mengting''s spot, exerted force on his legs, and instantly skated over. Lin Tian was fast, and as he was about to approach, he executed a sharp stop. Lin Tian''s braking movement was dramatic, one moment he was gliding swiftly, and the next he came to a complete stop. "Lin Tian, you''re amazing! I knew you could do it!" Bu Mengting got up with a giggly smile, her face showing some excitement. Although Bu Mengting had confidence in Lin Tian and knew he could learn to skate quickly, she only thought he would reach her level. She had never imagined that Lin Tian could be so impressive. In the face of Bu Mengting''s praise, Lin Tian didn''t show any modesty; rather, he came off a bit narcissistic as he tossed his head: "Of course, who do you think I am!" An Ningning beside them was rendered speechless by Lin Tian''s self-admiration. Despite being somewhat put off by Lin Tian''s narcissistic attitude, he had to admit that Lin Tian''s talent for skating was incredibly high. Thinking this, An Ningning asked curiously, "Have you really never skated before?" "Of course," replied Lin Tian as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "Then you have such high talent. Have you ever considered a professional career? You might even win an Olympic championship," suggested An Ningning. In An Ningning''s opinion, it would be a waste if Lin Tian didn''t go professional with such talent. "Professional?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback and then shook his head decisively: "I''ve never considered it." With the Supernatural Ability System, what couldn''t he do? If he truly considered a sports career, wouldn''t basketball or soccer be better than skating? With the Supernatural Ability System, Lin Tian believed he would be the most amazing. However, Lin Tian''s aspirations didn''t lie there; he had never given it a thought. But An Ningning didn''t know any of this and still urged, "Are you sure you don''t want to consider it? You would have great prospects in skating." Feeling the sincerity in An Ningning''s words, Lin Tian paused before nodding and expressing his gratitude, "Thanks, but I really haven''t thought about it in that way." With that, Lin Tian stopped paying attention to him, extended his hand with a gentle bow, and smiled at Bu Mengting, "My princess, may I have the honor of dancing with you?" Putting on an air of arrogance, Bu Mengting lifted her head and placed her petite hand gently in Lin Tian''s palm, obliging him with a touch of reluctance, "Alright then, my knight, I''ll agree, since you look so pitiable!" Lin Tian grinned, grabbing Bu Mengting''s soft hand, and with a pull, he swiftly brought her close, exclaiming, "Let''s go~!" "Ah~!" Amidst Bu Mengting''s startled cry, Lin Tian dragged her into a swift glide. Watching Lin Tian lead Bu Mengting away at high speed, An Ningning stood still, his expression complex. He discovered that this Lin Tian wasn''t as bad as he''d imagined. "Ah~!" Bu Mengting screamed again. "Whoo~!" The speed was too fast, and Bu Mengting could even hear the whoosh of the wind by her ears. Fast, so fast! It was like flying! Bu Mengting had never experienced such speed before. Because of the high speed, Bu Mengting couldn''t control her balance and felt her body swaying from side to side. "Ah~!" Bu Mengting cried out. But just when Bu Mengting was feeling anxious, suddenly a strong arm wrapped around her shoulders. Looking up, she saw Lin Tian''s smiling face. Lin Tian, with a twinkle in his eye, raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "My princess, relax and let me show you the thrill of flying!" As he spoke, Lin Tian tightened his grip and tensed the muscles in his feet, accelerating even further. Whoosh whoosh~!! The roar by her ears, Bu Mengting felt her body moving swiftly. Whenever she thought she''d fall or bump into someone, Lin Tian would always appear at the critical moment. After a few such instances, Bu Mengting finally relaxed, no longer worried, and began to enjoy the joy of racing as if flying. Swish swish~! With a smile on his face, Lin Tian reveled in the sound of the wind, enjoying the sensation. It felt like flying. It was thrilling! It was fun! In the skating rink, Lin Tian''s fast pace and the daring moves he performed with Bu Mengting drew many people''s attention. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "That guy is really skilled!" "Yeah! Wonder how long he''s been practicing." "Damn, being good at skating sure has its perks for showing off and picking up girls!" Seeing Lin Tian''s slick moves, a boy with a face full of acne said with envy. On the other side, witnessing Lin Tian performing various high-difficulty moves, An Ningning''s expression grew even more complicated. Chapter 73 Beating Up Five to six minutes later, Lin Tian began to slow down, gently decelerating while holding Bu Mengting''s hand."Wow! That was so much fun, so thrilling!" As soon as they stopped, Bu Mengting said with an excited face. She was so excited that her cheeks even started to redden a bit. "Hehe, fun, right?!" Lin Tian smiled slightly. "Fun!" Bu Mengting nodded vigorously. This was the happiest she had been since they started skating. "Then call me ''husband'', and I''ll keep playing with you!" Lin Tian said with a mischievous smile as he looked at Bu Mengting. "No way!" Bu Mengting turned her head away and gave Lin Tian a disdainful look. "Alright then, how about a kiss instead?" Settling for less, Lin Tian spoke again and turned his cheek towards her. "Peck!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Bu Mengting quickly gave Lin Tian a shy kiss. "Alright then, since you were obedient, this young master will take you flying!" "Let''s go!" Saying this, Lin Tian pushed off again! "Whoosh whoosh..." Half an hour later, Lin Tian slowed down and gradually stopped while holding Bu Mengting''s hand. "Whew! I''m exhausted!" As soon as they stopped, Bu Mengting exclaimed; even though it wasn''t very strenuous, half an hour had left her quite tired. Lin Tian led Bu Mengting to a stop and let her sit down. Seeing Bu Mengting sit down and noticing the beads of sweat on her forehead, Lin Tian smiled and said, "I''ll go buy some water." He then skated over to an outside counter and bought three bottles of mineral water. As Lin Tian was preparing to return with the water, he happened to see five young people with colorful hairstyles entering. These five threw a hundred yuan over and shouted loudly, "Boss, for five people." The other party was loud, and Lin Tian frowned slightly, glanced at them, but didn''t pay further attention and returned to the skating rink. "Here!" Lin Tian handed the water to Bu Mengting. "Thanks!" Bu Mengting smiled sweetly. "Here!" Lin Tian then handed over the water to An Ningning. "Thanks!" An Ningning nodded at Lin Tian. After handing water to the two of them, Lin Tian sat down to rest as well. Having been active for so long, he also felt somewhat tired. While drinking his own mineral water, Lin Tian watched people skating inside the rink. While observing, he noticed that the five young people he had seen at the start had also come in and were skating. After glancing at them a few times, Lin Tian found that these five were quite skilled. Everything was very smooth, whether skating forwards or backwards. At least within this skating rink, their skills were pretty good. After giving them a glance, Lin Tian no longer paid attention and scanned the other people. Sitting idly for a while, Lin Tian finished his mineral water within a minute. After resting for a while, Lin Tian suddenly felt the urge to urinate. Lin Tian glanced at Bu Mengting and An Ningning, who were still resting on the chairs, and said, "I''m going to the restroom." "Oh, okay," Bu Mengting looked up at Lin Tian, nodded, and didn''t pay much attention. While Lin Tian was off to the restroom, those five young men at the skating rink were resting on chairs as well. The five of them were drinking water while looking around. Suddenly, one of the youths with yellow hair pointed in Bu Mengting''s direction and said, "Look quick, a top-notch beauty!" "Oh? Really?" Hearing this, the other four curiously turned their gazes in that direction. Upon seeing her, their eyes lit up, "She really is a beauty!" "Guys, shall we go and chat her up?" the young man with yellow hair said with a giggling smile. "I''m afraid she won''t bother with you! You, with your short and broke self, better not go over there," the others laughed and teased him. "Cut it out, you underestimate me. Watch this!" scoffed the guy with yellow hair, then promptly got up and skated toward Bu Mengting. Reaching Bu Mengting, the young man with yellow hair beamed and said, "Beauty, want to hang out?" "No thanks," Bu Mengting glanced at him and turned her head away. "Come on, just hang out, it''s nothing!" the young man with yellow hair wasn''t giving up, and even moved closer, leaning over to grab Bu Mengting''s hand to pull her up. "What are you doing!" An Ningning immediately slapped his hand away, her face filled with anger. The slap from An Ningning was hefty, turning the back of the young man''s hand red instantly. Feeling the pain on the back of his hand, the young man with yellow hair''s face turned furious and he bellowed, "Dammit, kid, do you want to die?" The shout from the young man with yellow hair was so loud that it instantly drew the attention of everyone in the skating rink. All eyes turned toward them. The scene suddenly quieted down. "Kid, are you looking to die?" the young man with yellow hair stared at An Ningning coldly. An Ningning snorted coldly, unyieldingly staring back at him. "What''s going on? What happened?" At this moment, the other four friends of the young man with yellow hair came over, feigning ignorance. "Guys, this kid dares to hit me, look at my hand, it''s all red from his hit!" "Really?" Hearing the words from the young man with yellow hair, one of the guys with an earring raised his eyebrows, skated slowly toward An Ningning, pointed at An Ningning''s nose, and scoffed, "Kid, you dare to hit my brother? Tell me, how will you compensate!" Seeing these four people suddenly appear, An Ningning''s expression changed. Despite being somewhat nervous, he didn''t flinch or speak but continued to glare at them unyieldingly. Continue your saga on empire Annoyed by An Ningning''s gaze, the young man snorted, "What''s with that look, huh? Do you need me to teach you a lesson? Come on, let''s step outside!" An Ningning''s complexion turned blue and then pale, yet he remained silent. Just then, coming out of the restroom feeling refreshed, Lin Tian was stunned as he walked out, looking strangely at the suddenly calm skating rink. Feeling everyone''s gaze turning in one direction, Driven by curiosity, Lin Tian looked over and instantly narrowed his eyes. Surprisingly, four or five young men were surrounding Bu Mengting and the others. With a stern face, Lin Tian quickly skated over, and as he approached, he shouted angrily, "What''s going on!" The sudden outburst made everyone startle. All eyes then turned toward Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Bu Mengting''s heart lightened, and her tense heart relaxed. "What are you doing!" Lin Tian slid over quickly and stopped beside Bu Mengting, his face cold as he stared at several young men. "Oh? Another one has shown up?" Upon seeing Lin Tian, the young men were not intimidated but instead revealed a mocking smile. The young man from earlier shook his leg nervously as he looked at Lin Tian and pointed at An Ningning, "This kid here beat up my brother, what do you say we do about that?" Glancing at An Ningning, Lin Tian furrowed his brows, unaware of what had actually happened. Just as Lin Tian was puzzled, Bu Mengting stood up beside him and explained softly into his ear. After hearing Bu Mengting''s explanation, Lin Tian''s gaze turned frosty. He shot a cold look at the group and snorted, "He did good. If I were here, I would have broken his hand directly!" "What did you say, kid!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, they were first stunned, then their faces filled with fury! Arrogant! This kid was too arrogant! Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the people surrounding them were also stunned. Some were taken aback by his bold tone, unable to believe that this young man could be so audacious. You should know that there were five of them. Wasn''t such arrogance seeking death? "Kid, are you seeking death?" The initial man glared coldly at Lin Tian. Impatience flashed across Lin Tian''s face as he waved his hand dismissively like swatting a fly, "Scram already. If you don''t scram, I''ll make you!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, everyone was stunned again! Arrogant! So incredibly arrogant! Everyone was taken aback by Lin Tian''s arrogant demeanor. "Fine! Fine! I really want to see what makes you so arrogant!" The man snorted coldly and then suddenly reached out, attempting to grab Lin Tian''s hair! He wanted to grab Lin Tian by the hair! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he kicked out directly! Bang! Lin Tian''s foot landed squarely on the man''s abdomen! Whoosh! The man''s body slid and flew three meters away! "Hey!" Lin Tian swept his leg towards the other four who were rushing at him! Bang bang! Like dominoes, the four men fell one after another! Two seconds! In just two seconds, Lin Tian had knocked all of them to the ground! And they hadn''t even touched a hair on Lin Tian! Seeing Lin Tian''s clean movements, the onlookers were all stunned, some unexpectedly looking at Lin Tian. Only then did they realize that Lin Tian''s grandiloquent attitude was indeed backed by real skills. The five men, though knocked down by Lin Tian, were not seriously injured. They struggled to sit up after lying on the ground for a while. Sitting on the ground, one of them shouted angrily, "Take off your shoes!" Wearing roller skates was really inconvenient. Immediately, the five started to untie their shoelaces quickly sitting on the ground. After scanning the group, Lin Tian shook his head with a half-smile and did nothing, waiting for them to come over. A few seconds later, after removing the roller skates, the five charged at Lin Tian again. This time without the roller skates holding them back, their movements were noticeably more agile. "Kid, this time..." "Bang!" Before he could finish his sentence, he was kicked flying by Lin Tian. Bang. His body slammed hard into the ground, unable to move for a long while. Whoosh, whoosh! Lin Tian kicked up his legs, sending the other four flying as well! In an instant, five people lay scattered on the ground, feeling a sharp pain in their abdomens and unable to get up for a long time. It was now completely silent... Everyone was just staring at Lin Tian, as if looking at a monster. Fast! Lin Tian was too fast just now, having kicked five people away in an instant! They hadn''t even touched a hair on Lin Tian. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If they''d been wearing roller skates, it might be understandable, but they weren''t! And they were still so easily defeated by Lin Tian. After observing the five people struggling to get up, Lin Tian glanced at Bu Mengting and said, "Let''s go back." "Mmm, okay." Bu Mengting was already immune to Lin Tian''s combat abilities and nodded lightly. "Let''s go!" Lin Tian patted the still somewhat stunned An Ningning and smiled. Then, the three of them walked to the counter, ready to change shoes and leave. By this time, the five men had already staggered to their feet, clutching their stomachs. Seeing Lin Tian trying to leave, one of them bellowed, "Kid, if you''re brave, don''t leave!" Lin Tian was too lazy to respond to him, busying himself with changing shoes. "Kid, if you dare, don''t go!" Seeing that Lin Tian was ignoring him, thinking Lin Tian was scared, they shouted loudly from behind him. Lin Tian ignored them, finished changing his shoes, let An Ningning retrieve the deposit, and then walked away with Bu Mengting and the others. Meanwhile, those five were still shouting from behind, but they dared not come forward. Lin Tian paid no attention to them. If it had been the old Lin Tian, he would have made sure they couldn''t leave unscathed. But now, consider them lucky! Lin Tian didn''t want any more trouble. Chapter 74 No Big Deal When the three of them stepped out of the skating rink, An Ningning was still somewhat dazed.He was still immersed in the scene that had just unfolded. It was unbelievable! Continue reading on empire So fast! The speed at which Lin Tian had been moving was too fast. After a moment of stupor, An Ningning turned his head and looked at Lin Tian with some astonishment, "Have you practiced martial arts?" S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What''s up?" Lin Tian asked with a bit of surprise. "How else could you be so formidable? Those five couldn''t even get close to you!" An Ningning''s eyes still held a trace of shock. He could not have imagined Lin Tian being that powerful. "Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, and then chuckled, "It was nothing." Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t want to say much, An Ningning didn''t press him. He just shook his head, face still showing some shock. "Let''s have a meal together," Lin Tian suggested, glancing at the sky which was already darkening, feeling a bit hungry. "Sure, I know a place around here where the bamboo rice is really good," Bu Mengting agreed without any objections, looking somewhat cheerful. "Then let''s go, let''s give it a try," said Lin Tian with a laugh. An hour later, the three of them left the restaurant, feeling full and satisfied. Lin Tian wiped his mouth with a napkin and nodded contentedly, "That was the best bamboo rice I''ve ever had." "Delicious, right? Hee hee..." Bu Mengting smiled sweetly. "Let''s take a walk," Lin Tian said with a light smile, making a suggestion. Then the three of them strolled slowly along the lakeside path. Near People''s Park, there was a man-made lake, complete with a small island in the center. The scenery was rather nice. The three leisurely walked along the lake, chatting casually. After about fifteen minutes, suddenly a commotion could be heard up ahead, and Lin Tian noticed many people gathered around to watch something. "Let''s see what''s happening!" Bu Mengting ran over with curiosity. Seeing Bu Mengting head over, Lin Tian and An Ningning also made their way there. Parting the crowd, Lin Tian instantly saw the situation inside. At a glance, Lin Tian was taken aback¡ªtalk about a small world. Lin Tian saw the same group of young people he had encountered at the skating rink. This time, the group was not just four or five people but seven or eight. Lin Tian was curious as to what had transpired. Just as Lin Tian was being curious, another wave of noisy clamor came from inside. He saw a young man with yellow hair, his face full of fury, yelling at a girl, "Damn it, we''re just asking you to have a few drinks with us. Is it such a big deal? No need to make such a fuss!" The girl, surrounded by seven or eight people, looked frightened, her face pale and her expression very tense. After glancing at the girl, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. Such a pure-looking girl! The girl, probably about twenty years old, was dressed simply, her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, with no evident makeup on her face¡ªpure and unadorned. Yet, it was this simplicity that made the girl look even more pure and beautiful, completely overshadowing those girls with heavy makeup. Lin Tian noticed the faint floral apron wrapped around the girl and then his gaze fell on the barbecue tools beside her. Instantly, Lin Tian pieced together the girl''s identity in his mind, guessing she must be a vendor selling barbecue. The stall in front of them was likely set up by the girl, and Lin Tian also observed several tables nearby. At the tables, there were some bottles of alcohol and half-eaten barbecue remaining. Looking at the young men reeking of alcohol and putting together their earlier conversation, Lin Tian quickly inferred what had happened. While Lin Tian was pondering the situation, a ruckus, along with screams, came from up ahead. "Damn it! Stop pretending! Are you coming or not?!" the blond man, reeking of liquor, barked at Chen Bingbing. Chen Bingbing, her face tight with anxiety, looked at the few raging men, her complexion pale with fright. "Forget it, we don''t want your money. Just leave," said a middle-aged woman, also wearing an apron, next to the girl. Her face was tense as she eyed the drunken youths. Despite her nerves, she still positioned herself to shield Chen Bingbing behind her body. Seeing the middle-aged woman, Lin Tian guessed she must be the girl''s mother. "Don''t want money? Damn it! And you still think you can ask for it!" one of the young men, sporting tattoos on his arm, shouted angrily and kicked over a chair beside him. "Guys, trash this place!" he ordered and then kicked over a table. "Bang, bang!" Seven or eight people started kicking over tables, stomping on them, and one even toppled the barbecue tools with his foot. "Ah! Please, no!" Chen Bingbing looked on, distressed, tears nearly spilling from her eyes. "Please, I beg you, stop destroying everything!" Chen Bingbing pleaded with the men, her face full of desperation. But no one paid her any heed; the men kept smashing relentlessly. Seeing that pleading was in vain, Chen Bingbing looked towards the crowd of onlookers with a face begging for help: "Please, call the police! Help me call the police!" "Who dares?" Hearing Chen Bingbing''s plea, the blond man paused and swept his cold gaze across the crowd: "I''ll kill anyone who calls the cops!" With the blond man''s threat, the others also stopped momentarily, matching his intimidating stance as they surveyed the crowd of onlookers. Frightened by the demeanor of the group, the onlookers were all taken aback. None dared to make a phone call in their presence, fearing reprisal. Since Lin Tian and his companions were not at the center of the crowd, they went unnoticed by the blond man and his gang. "Smash it! Keep smashing!" Seeing that no one dared to make a call, a sneer of triumph crossed the blond man''s face as he bellowed. "Bang, bang!" Watching chair after chair turn into splinters, Chen Bingbing cried in distress. Feeling utterly wronged inside. "If only someone would help me!" Chen Bingbing thought frantically. But she knew it was impossible. Lin Tian, amidst the crowd, watched this unfold and pursed his lips, hesitating a few times before stepping forward. After considering it, Lin Tian decided to make a phone call to alert the police and be done with it. As he was about to move away to make the call, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind: "Mission: Help Chen Bingbing drive away the thugs!" Hearing the electronic voice in his mind, Lin Tian paused¡ªno need to call the police now. With that thought, Lin Tian pushed his way through the crowd and shouted, "Hey!" At the sound, everyone paused, the group of young men slowly turning around. They wanted to see who was bold enough to intervene! .................................................................................... Chapter 75 Thats How Awesome We Are! "Hey!" Suddenly, a voice appeared, causing Chen Bingbing to be startled.She looked up in astonishment in the direction of the sound. She couldn''t believe that someone would actually dare to help her at this moment. Enjoy new chapters from empire Her gaze swept across, and then she noticed a boy about eighteen or nineteen years old pushing through the crowd and walking in. Seeing Lin Tian, the blond-haired men were startled for a moment, and then, after hesitating, a vicious look appeared on their faces, "Kid, it seems you''re looking for trouble!" Lin Tian glanced coldly at them, "Get lost quickly. Don''t force me to make a move!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, the surrounding crowd was taken aback. They looked at Lin Tian strangely. Arrogant! Such an arrogant attitude! It had already surprised them that Lin Tian dared to stand out, but they hadn''t expected his attitude to be so arrogant. Has he lost his mind? Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the blond-haired men were amused and looked at Lin Tian with a sneer, "Kid, you really think you''re invincible!" Speaking, he said to a few young men beside him whom Lin Tian had not seen before, "Brothers, this kid is the one I was talking about." "It''s him?" Hearing the blond man''s words, one of them tilted his head and looked at Lin Tian with a trace of disdain on his face. "Let''s do it. Take him down!" The blond-haired man snorted coldly, then picked up a beer bottle from the ground and charged at Lin Tian. Even though they had been beaten helplessly by Lin Tian at the skating rink, they were not scared. They just thought they hadn''t had the right weapons at the time. This time there were more of their own people, and they had things in hand. No matter how high your martial arts skills, you still fear a brick in hand! Whoosh whoosh! Hearing the blond man''s call, the other few also picked up objects from the ground and charged at Lin Tian. "Ah!" Seeing this scene, Chen Bingbing, who was standing aside, screamed in fear. Her face filled with anxiety. And other onlookers, fearing that the fight might affect them, quickly moved away. Instantly, the space next to Lin Tian cleared up, leaving only the still dazed An Ningning and Bu Mengting. Seeing these people rushing at him with wooden sticks, beer bottles, and even bricks, Lin Tian''s face showed no sign of nervousness. This scene was child''s play compared to facing a dozen men armed with machetes in the past. Seeing the men charge, Lin Tian flicked his foot, instantly kicking up a broken-legged chair from the ground. Smack! Lin Tian tightly grasped the short-legged chair and swept it horizontally! Smack smack smack! A clear sound rang out, and the three men charging at him were all swept to the ground by Lin Tian! And due to the force, only a stick-like handle was left of the chair in Lin Tian''s hands! "Yah!" At that moment, the other few men continued to charge at Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s face turned cold as he flung the stick from his hand! Smack! The stick directly hit one man''s shin. The force was so great that the stick instantly broke upon impact. "Ah!" The pain from his shin made that man scream, and he involuntarily squatted down while holding his leg and yelled. Whoosh whoosh! The other four continued to charge at Lin Tian. Now, Lin Tian had no weapon in his hands. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian''s muscles tensed, and he suddenly surged forward. Bang! Lin Tian directly charged into one man''s embrace, his shoulder jolting! Bang! With a jolt of Lin Tian''s shoulder, that man instantly felt a massive force hitting his chest, sending his body flying back and crashing to the ground! "Ah, be careful!" At that moment, Bu Mengting screamed. Seeing Lin Tian so fierce, one man didn''t dare to come closer and instead threw a brick at Lin Tian''s head from a distance. Whoosh! The brick cut through the air, flying directly towards the back of Lin Tian''s head! Hearing Bu Mengting''s shout, Lin Tian quickly turned around, saw the oncoming brick, and squinted his eyes. It was too fast; it was already too late to dodge. Lin Tian''s eyes widened, his muscles tensed, and he shouted loudly, "Hi!" Lin Tian swung out a punch! Bang! The fist collided with the red turn of the head! Dust flew everywhere! Tiny fragments of brick splashed all around, some even striking the feet of the onlookers, causing a sharp pain. Seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded! Smashed! Lin Tian had actually smashed a brick with a single punch! That was outrageous! Everyone was slightly stunned, including the troublesome miscreants. Taking advantage of the moment the others were dazed, Lin Tian swept his leg out and knocked several of them down to the ground! The scene fell silent, except for the moans of a few thugs on the ground, it was completely quiet. Everyone was still staring at Lin Tian in shock. It was as though they were looking at a monster. At that moment, Lin Tian noticed some people starting to pull out their phones to take pictures. Seeing their actions, Lin Tian quickly shouted, "Don''t take pictures!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, although some people put away their phones, there were still a few who continued to take them out, albeit much more covertly. Seeing this, Lin Tian felt helpless, as he couldn''t exactly confiscate their phones by force. Helplessly, Lin Tian could only try to finish his mission quickly and leave. Thinking this, Lin Tian walked slowly in front of the few miscreants and said coldly, "Hand over the money!" Lin Tian''s actions weren''t harsh, only rendering the thugs unable to move temporarily. Having rested for a while, the thugs had already recovered somewhat. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the men were all stunned. Seeing the men dazed, Lin Tian kicked them sharply, "Hurry up!" Truly frightened by Lin Tian''s fierce demeanor when he smashed the brick with his fist, the thugs lying on the ground hurriedly pulled out money from their pockets. Lin Tian quickly collected the money, which added up to roughly four thousand. Holding a stack of cash, Lin Tian walked over to Chen Bingbing and handed it to her, "Here, this is their compensation!" "This..." Chen Bingbing stared blankly at the cash in front of her, then looked up at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression. Seeing the girl''s baffled face, Lin Tian grabbed her delicate hand and placed the money in it, "Take it!" After speaking, Lin Tian turned his head to the thugs scattered on the ground and barked, "Scram." Exchanging glances, the seven or eight thugs helped each other up and left. Seeing the thugs leave in such a sorry state, S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. the crowd started to clap, initiated by someone, and soon a robust applause filled the air. "Young man! Well done!" The scene was filled with voices of admiration. Truth be told, Lin Tian felt quite pleased with himself being praised like this. Just then, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind again, "Mission: Help Chen Bingbing drive away the thugs has been completed. Reward: One Supernatural Point." Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly delighted. Another Supernatural Point was in his hands. After a moment of contemplation, Lin Tian knew it wasn''t the time to check the Supernatural Points, and he immediately turned to the still dumbfounded Chen Bingbing and her daughter, "You should leave now. It''s best not to set up a stall here anymore to avoid retaliation." "Thanks, thank you..." After hesitating for a moment, Chen Bingbing gratefully said as she reluctantly handed over the money she was holding... Noticing her action, Lin Tian simply waved his hand, nonchalantly saying, "This is your compensation." Saying this, Lin Tian didn''t plan to stay anymore, as he noticed those taking photos becoming more intrusive, practically ready to shoot him directly. So without further hesitation, Lin Tian bid Chen Bingbing farewell, then quickly walked away pulling Bu Mengting along. After Lin Tian had left, Chen Bingbing looked at the mess on the ground and then at the stack of cash in her hands, feeling bewildered. Everything seemed so unreal. It was just like a dream. Even though Lin Tian had left, the onlookers didn''t disperse immediately and continued discussing Lin Tian''s performance. Pulling Bu Mengting, Lin Tian ran for a distance before stopping. And soon, An Ningning caught up from behind. Seeing Lin Tian stop, An Ningning hurriedly ran to his side, looking at him with curiosity, "You really can fight!" "Of course, I''m just that fierce!" Lin Tian, in high spirits, didn''t hesitate to indulge in a bit of self-admiration. Rolling her eyes, An Ningning was left speechless. Chapter 76 The Boisterous Rich Woman Having walked for a while, Lin Tian took out his phone to check the time, then looked at the two and asked, "Do we want to go anywhere else for fun?""What time is it?" An Ningning asked curiously. "It''s eight o''clock." "It''s eight already..." An Ningning looked hesitant, and then said, "I need to go back. Let''s hang out next time." At this point, An Ningning turned his head to look at Bu Mengting, "Mengting, coming back with me?" "Sure, my mom will nag if I return too late," Bu Mengting nodded. "Alright then, let''s go together," An Ningning said somewhat happily upon hearing Bu Mengting''s words. Then, as if something occurred to him, An Ningning looked at Lin Tian curiously, "And you...?" "I''ll walk with you guys, the hotel I''m staying at is right next to Mengting''s place," Lin Tian said with a slight smile. Discover exclusive content at empire "Okay then," said An Ningning, a bit reluctantly. He had thought he might get some alone time with Bu Mengting. Who knew... Right after, the three of them hailed a taxi and headed for Fenghuang Road. Twenty minutes later, they got out of the taxi. "Mengting, do you want us to walk you back?" An Ningning asked as they got out of the taxi. "No need, I''m going to play at Lin Tian''s place for a bit," Bu Mengting gently shook her head. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing this, An Ningning was stunned. To Lin Tian''s place? Where? To his hotel room? Thinking this, a trace of disappointment appeared on An Ningning''s face, but he quickly adjusted and put on a sunny smile, nodding to Bu Mengting, "Alright then, I''m heading back." Having said that, he nodded to Lin Tian as well, "I''ll be off first." "Uh-huh, bye!" Lin Tian nodded back with a smile. Watching An Ningning walk away until his figure disappeared around the corner, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting made their way to the hotel. Bu Mengting looped her arm through Lin Tian''s and leaned her head gently on his shoulder. After a moment of thought, Bu Mengting suddenly asked, "Ah Tian, is it that you don''t really like it when I''m with Xiaoning?" "Hmm?" Lin Tian was surprised, then looked down at Bu Mengting curiously, "Why do you ask that?" Bu Mengting tilted her head thinking, "I felt something today." "Really?" Lin Tian smiled faintly, "It''s okay, but do you know he likes you?" "Huh?" Bu Mengting was shocked, looking up at Lin Tian with some astonishment, "He likes me? Impossible!" "Heh..." Lin Tian gently teased Mengting''s nose and laughed, "You can''t even tell that?" "Impossible, we''ve grown up together since we were kids, he never told me he liked me!" Bu Mengting said with a puzzled face. "Not having said it doesn''t mean he doesn''t like you!" Lin Tian smiled faintly, "You should trust my feelings, a man''s intuition!" Mengting pouted, "Man''s intuition? Isn''t it supposed to be woman''s intuition?" "Actually, a man''s intuition can be quite accurate, too, you should trust my feelings!" Lin Tian said confidently. He was certain that An Ningning had feelings for Bu Mengting. It was evident from the look in his eyes. "Then, then what should I do?" Bu Mengting seemed a bit stunned, and hesitantly asked, "Should I reject him?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian laughed, "Girl, what are you rejecting? He hasn''t even said he likes you yet." "Then what should I do?" "What else can you do? Just take it as it comes!" Lin Tian said with a faint smile. "So, you''re not angry?" "Angry about what? Angry that you interact with him?" Lin Tian said with confidence, "Not everyone is named Lin Tian. I have faith in myself. Besides..." Pausing, Lin Tian then continued, "Besides, from what I saw today, he''s not a bad person, quite a gentleman. He''s the kind of person who''s worth being friends with!" Having interacted with him throughout the day, Lin Tian found An Ningning to be quite straightforward. Someone like him wouldn''t resort to sneaky tricks; he would be upfront and honest. And being upfront and honest was something Lin Tian wasn''t afraid of at all. He didn''t believe that with the Supernatural Ability System, he could be any less outstanding than him. Moreover, the most important point was, Lin Tian couldn''t possibly forbid Bu Mengting from interacting with any men in the future. That was impossible. Thinking that An Ningning was a pretty good person, apart from the fact that he liked Bu Mengting which irked Lin Tian, his impression of him was still very positive. "That''s good to hear!" Bu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. Truth be told, Bu Mengting didn''t have romantic feelings for An Ningning, but they had grown up together. An Ningning had helped her a lot, and in Bu Mengting''s view, he was like an older brother to her. If Lin Tian had been unhappy and forbade her from interacting with An Ningning, she would have complied, but it would definitely have affected her mood. "Husband, thank you!" Bu Mengting tightened her hold on Lin Tian''s arm and said with a sweet expression. "What did you just call me? Say it again," Lin Tianyi was taken aback, stopped in his tracks, and looked down with some surprise at Bu Mengting. With Lin Tian staring at her like that, Bu Mengting''s pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she lowered her head with embarrassment, "I definitely won''t!" "Then why did you call me that just now!" "Don''t wanna!" Bu Mengting stubbornly refused to speak. "Fine! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!" At this point, the two had already arrived outside the hotel. Half an hour later, Bu Mengting walked out of the hotel with a slightly flushed face. Meanwhile, Lin Tian followed behind her with a mischievous smile, ready to take her home. They didn''t go all the way in the hotel tavern, but Lin Tian still got to enjoy a lot of perks. If there had been more time, Lin Tian even thought he might have taken Bu Mengting by force. About fifteen minutes later, Lin Tian stopped beneath Bu Mengting''s building and gave her a wave goodbye, "See you tomorrow." "Mhm!" Bu Mengting softly nodded her head in acknowledgment, then turned and ran quickly up to her apartment. It wasn''t until Bu Mengting''s figure disappeared from sight that Lin Tian turned and left. ** The next day, at eight in the morning, after eating breakfast, Lin Tian was making a phone call while taking the hotel elevator downstairs. "Alright, I''m coming down now, just wait for me a bit. Yeah, bye-bye." After a few words, Lin Tian hung up the phone. The day before, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting had already agreed to go shopping together. Of course, since An Ningning had stubbornly insisted on coming along, Lin Tian didn''t have the heart to say no and exclude him. Not long after hanging up the phone, there was a ''ding'' as the elevator door opened. Lin Tian glanced and saw that he had reached the first floor. He quickly stepped out, and as soon as he walked out of the elevator, Lin Tian immediately saw Bu Mengting and An Ningning sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby. After giving them a quick glance, Lin Tian approached with a small smile, "Let''s go!" Then, the three of them hailed a cab and headed for the pedestrian street. Twenty minutes later, they alighted from the cab and walked toward the pedestrian street. Lin Tian felt somewhat impatient with shopping, but since Bu Mengting enjoyed it, he had no choice but to accompany her. At first, Lin Tian was energetic, following wherever Bu Mengting went and occasionally commenting on the clothes and shoes she picked out. But after an hour, Lin Tian visibly wilted, trailing behind Bu Mengting and An Ningning, periodically pulling out his phone to read a novel. He wasn''t interested in speaking anymore. An Ningning, on the other hand, was in high spirits, always following right behind Bu Mengting. Lin Tian glanced over but paid no mind, occasionally lifting his head to check their location before resuming his novel. If the distance grew too great, Lin Tian would quicken his pace to catch up, then return to his novel. Half an hour later, just as Lin Tian was engrossed in his reading, he suddenly heard a quarrel not far ahead, which included Bu Mengting''s voice. On hearing this, Lin Tian was startled, then put away his phone and quickened his pace. Lin Tian hurried over and saw Bu Mengting, then slowed down. At that moment, Bu Mengting seemed to be talking to a woman in her forties. Despite the heavy makeup on her face, it couldn''t hide the dark spots scattered across her skin. She also wore a massive gold necklace around her neck. The chain was thick, resembling a dog''s leash. Not only was her attire memorable to Lin Tian, but her physique was also hard to forget... With a height of only 1.6 meters, Lin Tian guessed her weight to be at least 170 pounds. A big fat woman, indeed. As Lin Tian observed this rich woman, she suddenly took a stack of red banknotes from her colorful purse and slapped it onto the table: "This money should be enough, give me that dress." Bu Mengting looked at her with some irritation, "I told you, I saw the dress first. I won''t sell it no matter the price!" At that moment, Bu Mengting was holding a white dress in her hands. "Not enough?" The rich woman again took a stack of red banknotes out of her purse and smacked it down on the counter, "Is this enough? How much do you want, just say it!" An Ningning also looked annoyed, staring discontentedly at the rich woman, "Just because you have some money you think you''re something special? We already told you, no means no. When will you ever stop?" "There''s nothing money can''t do. I am rich, that''s right. How much are you asking for? Ten thousand or twenty thousand?" The rich woman''s attitude was brazen, and as her mouth opened and closed, the round lumps of flesh on her face started to jiggle. Lin Tian was about to walk over when his steps suddenly halted, and after a moment''s thought, he turned and quickly strode out of the store. Five minutes later, Lin Tian came back, briskly walking with a black bag in hand. Chapter 77 Is Just So Capricious "Speak up, how much do you want for the dress? Just give it to me!" Lin Tian was still holding the black bag and hadn''t walked in when he heard the rich lady''s somewhat arrogant voice.At that moment, the obese rich lady was leaning nonchalantly against the counter, a lady''s cigarette between her fingers. Her expression appeared utterly indifferent, as if she had Bu Mengting and her companion completely under her control. "You..." Bu Mengting was frantic, her little face turning somewhat pale. No matter how many times she had insisted that she had seen the dress first and wouldn''t give it up to anyone. But the woman simply wouldn''t believe it, and kept flaunting how much money she had! So infuriating! "Come on, how much money? How about fifty thousand? You''ve never held this much money before, have you?" the rich lady said scornfully as she glanced at Bu Mengting. "You..." Bu Mengting was so upset that she was almost in tears, and An Ningning had no idea what to do in this situation. And at that moment, that bastard Lin Tian was nowhere to be found! "Where the hell have you gone, Lin Tian!" Bu Mengting cursed inwardly. She had wanted to just take the dress and leave, but the rich lady''s bodyguard had blocked them. They couldn''t even leave. "Where has Lin Tian gone!" Bu Mengting looked around anxiously. At that moment, she hoped desperately for Lin Tian''s appearance. "Come on, how much money? How about sixty thousand?" the obese woman leaned on the counter and casually exhaled a puff of smoke, glancing indifferently at a visibly anxious Bu Mengting. In her view, this little girl was about to break down completely under the pressure. Soon the dress would be hers! "The little girl tries to challenge me, she''s too green!" the obese woman exhaled a puff of smoke lightly and thought pridefully. "Huh?" Just when she was feeling smug, a sudden change in the young girl''s anxious expression to one of joy caught her attention. It seemed like she had seen something; even the anxious look on her face disappeared. "What''s happening?" the obese woman asked, curious as she followed Bu Mengting''s gaze. As she turned her head, she saw a young man, around eighteen or nineteen, carrying a black plastic bag, walking briskly towards them. The black plastic bag was bulging, seemingly packed with lots of items and it even had "Construction Bank" printed on it. "Lin Tian!" Seeing Lin Tian, a look of joy flashed across Bu Mengting''s face, and her anxious heart also relaxed. Lin Tian gave her a reassuring smile as he walked swiftly towards her. Coming to stand before Bu Mengting, Lin Tian calmly turned to look at the obese woman, whose face was now a picture of astonishment, and then glanced at the stack of red bills on the counter beside her. There was apparently about ten thousand yuan on the bills. After glancing at the bills, Lin Tian''s lips curled into a disdainful smile as he looked at the astonished rich lady with a mocking expression, "With this little money, you''re showing off?" Saying this, Lin Tian grabbed the black plastic bag and swung it! Slap! He slapped a stack of red bills onto the rich woman''s obese face, "Showing off your wealth to me! You think you qualify?" As he spoke, Lin Tian reached into the bag again, grabbed a handful of red bills and threw it at her, "Take this and spend it!" "Is that enough? There''s more if it''s not!" Slap! Lin Tian once again harshly threw a stack of red bills! Woosh~~! For a moment, the entire store was swirling with red bills, like a flurry of falling leaves. Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Rain of money! This was a real rain of money! Lin Tian, with a cold expression, grabbed another handful of bills and threw them, "I''ve got plenty of money! Showing off your wealth to me! Acting smart!" S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Slap! Lin Tian once again harshly threw a large handful of bills! Watching the red cash fluttering in the air, the scene went utterly silent. Having emptied the bag of cash in one swift move, Lin Tian sighed and then turned around, pulling the still dazed Bu Mengting towards the exit. "Let''s go." Bu Mengting blankly followed Lin Tian out. Stunned for quite a while, An Ningning also came to her senses and hurriedly followed them. As Lin Tian left the clothing store, a somewhat frantic screech came from inside: "Ah! This will be the death of me, you little brat, stop right there!" Lin Tian gave a slight smile, too lazy to bother with her, and quickly walked away with Bu Mengting. Meanwhile, the employees inside the store were shocked by the scattered red cash. They didn''t notice Bu Mengting leaving with the unpaid dress. Everyone just stood there, staring blankly at the money all over the floor. So much money! After walking a distance while holding Bu Mengting''s hand, Lin Tian finally let go. By this time, Bu Mengting had recovered and looked at Lin Tian with a daze: "How much money did you throw out just now?" "About two hundred thousand," Lin Tian replied indifferently. "That much!" Bu Mengting said in shock, pausing for a moment before she hurriedly stopped and turned around, "Quick, pick it back up!" Discover hidden stories at empire Lin Tian grabbed her arm, looking indifferent, "I have plenty of money; this bit doesn''t matter!" "Where did you get all this money from!" Bu Mengting asked, looking suspiciously at Lin Tian. By this time, An Ningning had also caught up with them. "I''ll tell you..." Lin Tian began to explain. He didn''t hide the fact that he earned it from gambling but didn''t mention it was in Sanya, just that he made it recently in Macau. "So, I have a lot of money now and don''t care about this bit. Having money means being capricious!" Lin Tian said with a carefree face! With superpowers like his, why would he ever worry about money? Lin Tian thought to himself quietly. Even though Lin Tian had explained that he now had a lot of money, Bu Mengting still wanted to go pick up the money. Two hundred thousand! She couldn''t bear to let it go. But in the end, she was forcibly pulled away by Lin Tian. Just kidding, it was so cool to scatter money like that at the beginning, but embarrassing to scramble to pick it up now¡ªthat would be too shameful! Reluctantly, in the end, Bu Mengting did not go. Afterward, the three of them had lunch and then spent the afternoon at the amusement park. ... Days passed, and in the following days, Lin Tian explored the entirety of Jinhua City with Bu Mengting''s company. During these days, An Ningning would occasionally come over to join in the fun. Lin Tian didn''t mind An Ningning coming along. Through several days of interaction, Lin Tian had a pretty good impression of her. If it weren''t for the fact that this young man liked Bu Mengting, Lin Tian would definitely become good friends with him. "Here it comes, here comes! Wait for me." Three days later, Lin Tian was hurrying out of the hotel while speaking on the phone. He had agreed to go to the Wetland Park today with both Bu Mengting and An Ningning. When Lin Tian arrived outside the hotel, Bu Mengting and her companion were already waiting there. After a quick glance at the two, Lin Tian quickened his pace and said, "Let''s go." Subsequently, the three of them took a taxi to Wetland Park. After a thorough enjoyment of the park, at three in the afternoon, the trio leisurely walked in the streets. "Eh? Why are there so many people over there?" Suddenly, Bu Mengting asked, pointing ahead, somewhat curious. Chapter 78 The Sky Flyer Lin Tian had an observant eye. Looking up, he instantly knew what was happening."There seems to be some event going on at the car dealership ahead," Lin Tian guessed. A hundred meters ahead, at the entrance of a car 4S shop, a high platform was set up with a host speaking into a microphone. As the host spoke into the microphone, his voice faintly carried over, "Who wants to take the challenge! If you succeed, this Mercedes Benz is yours! Come on, a thought is nothing without action!" By now, a crowd had gathered around the platform, forming a sea of people. "Let''s go check it out!" Bu Mengting, full of curiosity, grabbed Lin Tian''s hand and ran toward the front. An Ningning, somewhat helplessly, shook her head and quickly followed. They pushed through the crowd and, listening to the host''s explanation and the murmurs of the surrounding crowd, Lin Tian finally understood what was going on. It turned out the event was a dunk competition for a sedan. In front of the platform was an open space with a basketball hoop set up, and parked in front of the hoop was a black Mercedes Benz sedan. The rules set by the organizers were that the Mercedes Benz would be given to anyone who could jump over the car and dunk the ball. As Lin Tian watched, the host on the platform began to stir up the crowd again, "Ladies and gentlemen! A thought is nothing without action. If you dare to try and dare to dream, this 500,000-yuan valued Mercedes GLK could be yours. All it takes is one leap to take this Mercedes Benz home! What deal could be better than this!" Hearing the host''s provocative words, everyone in the crowd looked on with longing faces. Indeed, just one jump and the car could be theirs. The temptation was too strong! It was a Mercedes Benz, after all! However, as tempting as it was, most people could only look on with envy. After all, not everyone can dunk, and in reality people who can are few and far between. Moreover, it''s not just about dunking; it''s about dunking over a car, which was even less likely. So, despite the longing, most knew they had no chance and could only look on hungrily. "What''s the matter? Isn''t there a brave soul willing to try? Doesn''t anyone want this 500,000-yuan valued Mercedes Benz? Come on, it could be yours!" Seeing that no one dared to try despite their eager looks, the host on the stage issued another provocative call. "I''ll do it!" Suddenly, a voice called out. Hearing this, everyone''s gaze turned toward the direction of the voice. Turning their heads, they saw a young man in a red basketball jersey. This young man seemed to have just finished playing basketball, as he was still sweating and holding a red basketball in his left hand. Seeing this young man, the host''s eyes lit up, "Good! We have a brave soul here. Let''s see if he can take the Mercedes Benz home. Let''s watch with anticipation!" sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After preparing, the young man was ready to leap over the car to dunk. Seeing that the young man was ready, the onlooking crowd held their breath and stared wide-eyed at him. "Hu!" The young man took a deep breath, his gaze firmly fixed on the basketball hoop ahead, then he took a few steps back, his leg muscles tensed, and pushed off! Bang bang! He sprinted rapidly and then leapt! Hu! All eyes were wide! Bang! "Ah!" A collective sigh filled the air! The young man was already impressive, but after flying over the car, his body lost the ability to ascend further, causing him to miss the dunk! "Ah! It seems this brave soul was just a bit short, he was so close to taking the sedan home! Such a pity!" Watching this, the host on the platform started to lament artificially while continuing to stir up the crowd, "Is there another brave soul out there? The last challenger was so close. The next one might succeed! This is a car worth 500,000 after all!" The host kept stirring the emotions of the crowd. A sedan valued at fifty thousand was indeed too tempting, and there was no loss in just trying, so many people went up to try. But most couldn''t even do as well as the first young man, many could only manage to jump onto the car and could not advance further, let alone dunk. And during this process, the surrounding crowd of onlookers kept on increasing. "How could that be possible? It''s impossible! It''s too difficult!" After seeing so many fail, a flurry of complaints echoed around the scene. "I''ll give it a try!" At that moment, a slightly awkward Mandarin voice called out. "Oh! A foreigner has stepped up!" Seeing the foreigner, the host''s eyes brightened. Hearing the host''s words, everyone''s gaze moved again in the direction of the voice. In the foreground, a tall Western man, over one meter ninety, was walking toward the competition area. "He''s so tall!" An exclamation filled the air as they saw his height. The foreigner appeared very confident. He approached the sedan, looked up at the host on the platform, "May I start?" "Certainly, by all means!" The foreigner, holding the basketball and looking utterly self-assured, started his sprint and then leapt into the air! All eyes were wide! His body soared over the car! The foreigner had actually jumped over the car! "Ah!" he shouted loudly, fiercely dunking toward the hoop! "Bang!" The rim shook violently, and the basketball was knocked flying away! So close! It was just a bit short, and they could have made the dunk! If only he had jumped a little higher! "So close!" A sigh echoed through the venue. Seeing him nearly make the dunk, even the host on stage broke a sweat, relieved to see it miss. He then pretended to shout, "Oh, that was almost it!" Feeling a bit unsatisfied, the foreigner looked at the host with a displeased face, "I want to try again; I can definitely make it next time." "NO!" The host shook his head, "Each person only gets one chance!" The foreigner, helplessly and a bit angrily replied, "I can''t do it, no one here can! No one is better than me!" Hearing these arrogant words from the foreigner, people who initially had a good impression of him were suddenly displeased. This man was too arrogant. Disliking his arrogance, several others then went to try. But without exception, they all failed. Some didn''t even make it onto the car! Your next read awaits at empire Seeing this, the foreigner who hadn''t left looked smug, as if to say: See, I told you. I''m the best here. "It''s too high, too far, simply impossible!" By then, the people around started to discuss. "How could you manage it? If it was that easy, this car dealership would go bankrupt!" Someone seemed to realize and analyzed. Bu Mengting, who had been quietly watching, suddenly turned and asked Lin Tian curiously, "Lin Tian, can you do it?" Lin Tian paused, then smiled lightly, "Of course!" "Then you should give it a try!" Bu Mengting''s eyes sparkled, and she quickly pushed Lin Tian forward. "Uh..." Lin Tian walked out, slightly startled. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian shook his head, a faint smile emerging on his face as he moved forward. "Okay, another brave warrior steps up!" The host brightened up upon seeing Lin Tian approaching. Hearing the host''s words, everyone''s gaze shifted toward Lin Tian. The moment they saw Lin Tian''s height, they lost interest. Short! Too short! With Lin Tian''s mere height of 1.7 meters, nobody believed he could do it! "I bet he can''t even jump onto the car!" someone confidently concluded. And although many didn''t speak, most shared that person''s thought. "Are you sure he can do it?" An Ningning looked at Lin Tian skeptically. Even though An Ningning admitted Lin Tian was great at fighting, being good at fighting didn''t mean he was good at jumping. Lin Tian''s height? Just a second-rate, 1.7-meter-tall cripple. "He is the best!" Bu Mengting was full of confidence. She believed in Lin Tian; if Lin Tian said he could do it, then he could! "Okay then!" Seeing Bu Mengting''s blind trust, An Ningning was utterly defeated! He didn''t believe Lin Tian could do it. Meanwhile, the foreigner who hadn''t left was also watching Lin Tian with a look of amusement. No one believed Lin Tian could do it. As for the surrounding gazes and comments, Lin Tian was aware of them all, but he didn''t mind. "Just wait and I''ll dazzle your titanium alloy dog eyes!" Lin Tian thought to himself. Looking up at the host, he declared, "I''m ready." "Alright then, let''s begin." Lin Tian grabbed the basketball, stood in front of the car, not sprinting, took a deep breath, his muscles tensed. Lin Tian crouched slightly, then powerfully pushed off with his legs! Whoosh! Lin Tian soared into the air! Everyone''s eyes widened, their expressions shifting from indifference to shock! All heads turned upwards, faces filled with disbelief! "High! So high!" someone muttered in a daze, watching Lin Tian leap into the air! High! Too high! Even that proud foreigner was stunned, his face filled with astonishment! In disbelief! High! Flying too high! "Hey!" With a gliding motion, Lin Tian shouted loudly, swinging his arm forward fiercely! "Bang!" Chapter 79 I Have a Way "Bang!" With a loud noise, the basketball hoop shook violently!Lin Tian hung from the rim with one hand! Meanwhile, the white basketball net was still swaying gently! Everyone stared in shock at the scene. They couldn''t believe their eyes! "Is it really, really done?" An Ningning stared at Lin Tian in disbelief. Everyone froze, some doubting whether what they had just seen was real! But the scene before them unmistakably told them that it was indeed real. The host on stage was also stunned, his initial smile gone, his face a picture of astonishment. Is it done? Really done? Could it be that this short guy actually did it? That the car worth five hundred thousand was gone? The host, completely taken aback by the scene, was at a loss. There was complete silence at the site. Everyone was immersed in a state of shock and wonder. After swinging from the hoop for a while, Lin Tian let go, landing on the ground with a thud. He patted his hands, his expression nonchalant as if he had just done something trivial. After a moment''s pause, Bu Mengting was the first to regain her senses, jumping up excitedly: "Yay, he dunked it in!" The thrilled voice of Bu Mengting brought everyone back to reality. Instantly, the previously silent venue became noisy, with a clamor of voices: "Did it really go in? Am I seeing things?" "Seems like it." The person next to them was also astonished. "He didn''t fly, did he?" "Like flying!" The foreigner, on the other hand, looked extremely embarrassed; he had been boasting earlier but was now shamed by a guy barely 1.7 meters tall. So embarrassing. At that moment, the host on stage was covered in a cold sweat. He could never have anticipated this. Their store had only organized the event as a gimmick, never really expecting anyone to accomplish the feat. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But now, some freak of nature had done it¡ªa small figure no taller than 1.7 meters. What were they to do? Should they really give him the car? Thinking this, the host turned his head to look at the store manager. At that moment, the store manager was also astonished and was briskly walking toward the stage. ** One hour later, Bu Mengting walked home excitedly, arm in arm with Lin Tian. As they walked, Bu Mengting exclaimed excitedly, "Lin Tian, you''re so awesome!" "So-so, third in the world!" Lin Tian chuckled. Ultimately, the car dealership handed over the car to Lin Tian. Although they were unprepared, they ended up giving Lin Tian the car as agreed. However, Lin Tian himself didn''t know how to drive, so he had the car delivered to his house for his father to use. "Buzz buzz~!" Just then, Lin Tian felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. He took out his phone and saw it was He Qianqian calling. Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the phone back into his pocket and turned on silent mode. "Who was that?" Bu Mengting asked curiously. "It''s nothing, just a text message." Lin Tian forced a smile. With He Qianqian''s call on his mind, he thought for a moment and said, "Let''s take a cab home." "Sure!" The three of them then caught a cab home. Half an hour later, they got out of the cab and prepared to have dinner together. In a gap before dinner, Lin Tian took the opportunity to return He Qianqian''s call in the bathroom. "Hello, Qianqian?" "Hey, how come I couldn''t get through to you earlier?" came He Qianqian''s puzzled voice from the phone, her mood seeming somewhat low. "I didn''t see it," Lin Tian lied. Sensing something was off with He Qianqian, he asked with concern, "What''s wrong, you don''t seem too happy?" "It''s nothing!" He Qianqian seemed reluctant to say more, sounding tired. "Come on, tell me. Maybe I can help, and even if I can''t, it''s good to talk about it," Lin Tian encouraged. After hesitating, He Qianqian, sounding distressed, said, "My grandma is not doing well, her high fever won''t subside, and the doctor has told us to prepare for the worst." "Ah!" Lin Tian was taken aback. He knew He Qianqian had a close relationship with her grandmother. After a moment, Lin Tian instinctively asked, "So what will you do?" "I don''t know. The doctor says my grandma is old and her immune system is weak. Many medications haven''t worked, and this time... she might really be...," trailing off, He Qianqian''s voice choked up as if she was about to cry. He Qianqian had a very close relationship with her grandmother, who had raised her while her parents were working away from home when she was little... But now... The thought made He Qianqian feel miserable. "..." Lin Tian didn''t know what to say. He Qianqian''s distress made him feel uneasy as well. After a moment, Lin Tian said, "I''ll come over and see if there''s anything I can do to help." "No need!" He Qianqian quickly interjected upon hearing Lin Tian''s offer: "There''s nothing you can do by coming here, and I won''t have time to be with you." "I think you need me now," Lin Tian stated confidently. "Really, there''s no need!" "I want to see you, is that okay?" Lin Tian asked gently. Lin Tian knew that He Qianqian must be feeling very vulnerable at this time, and he thought he should be by her side, to offer her comfort and courage. It seemed that He Qianqian was touched by Lin Tian''s gentle tone, she hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, "Alright then." "Mm, it''s settled then. I''ll come over as soon as I can." After chatting with He Qianqian for a few more sentences, Lin Tian hung up the phone. The moment the phone call ended, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Help He Qianqian''s grandmother escape the danger to her life. Mission Reward: Two Superpower Points." A mission? A mission has actually appeared? Lin Tian was astonished. "Lin Tian, are you done?" At this time, a voice from An Ningning came from outside the bathroom. "Oh, I''m coming." Planning to think about this matter later, Lin Tian answered and walked out. Half an hour later, at the dinner table, after hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian, who had finished eating, turned to Bu Mengting and said, "Mengting, I''m planning to go back tomorrow." "Ah?" Bu Mengting was startled, her hand paused, and she looked up at Lin Tian with a surprised expression, "You''re going back so soon? Didn''t you say you''d stay a few more days?" An Ningning next to her also looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression. "Er..." A trace of embarrassment crossed Lin Tian''s face: "My mom asked me to come back. I''ll come visit you again when I get a chance." "Well, okay then!" Hearing Lin Tian was leaving, Bu Mengting''s mood seemed a bit down, but she didn''t say anything else. Despite some reluctance, Lin Tian had to do this. Putting the mission aside, even at this time, He Qianqian needed his company more. "Sigh..." With a sigh in his heart, for the first time, Lin Tian felt that two women made him feel powerful yet powerless. ** The next day, Lin Tian took a plane and left Jinhua City, flying towards Jia''an City. This time, Lin Tian didn''t notify He Qianqian in advance but found a hotel to stay in near her home after he got off the plane. After settling everything, Lin Tian finally made a phone call to He Qianqian. "Hello, Qianqian? Where are you now?" "I''m at home, about to go to the hospital soon," He Qianqian''s voice came through the phone. After a night of adjustment, He Qianqian''s mood seemed much better. "I''ve already arrived in Jia''an City." "You''re here? When did you arrive?" He Qianqian was taken aback. "Just arrived not long ago, I''ve settled in." "Where are you now?" "At the New York Hotel right beside your house." After a moment of hesitation, He Qianqian said, "Wait for me, I''ll come to you." "Tap, tap..." Ten minutes later, while sitting on the bed watching TV, Lin Tian heard a knock on the door. Lin Tian opened the door and saw He Qianqian standing outside with a thermos. Glancing at He Qianqian''s complexion, he noticed she had become paler and had developed dark circles under her eyes. "Come in," Lin Tian said with a touch of concern, taking the thermos from He Qianqian''s hand. "Why did you come over so quickly?" He Qianqian asked curiously as she entered the room. "I felt you needed me at this time, so naturally, I came as fast as I could," Lin Tian said softly, gently pulling her into his embrace. He Qianqian buried her head in Lin Tian''s chest, silent for a moment. After a long silence, He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian and said, "Thank you!" "Silly girl, what are you thanking me for," Lin Tian said tenderly, gently stroking the dark circles under her eyes, with a touch of distress, "Look, you''ve developed dark circles." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, He Qianqian sighed helplessly, "I just can''t sleep well when I think about my grandma''s illness, sigh!" Lin Tian pulled He Qianqian to sit down at the side of the bed, holding her small hand, and looked at her quietly, "Is it really that bad?" After a moment of silence, He Qianqian said sadly, "The doctor said if my grandma''s fever doesn''t go down, she might not last much longer." The atmosphere suddenly became silent. After a while, Lin Tian raised his head and looked at He Qianqian, "I have a way!" "What?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with confusion. "I said I have a way to help your grandma reduce the fever!" Lin Tian assuredly looked at He Qianqian. "Ah?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, astonished. "Hmm..." After pondering for a moment, unsure of how to explain, Lin Tian finally said, "Just wait and see, your grandma will be better very soon." "Okay!" He Qianqian replied, somewhat noncommittally. He Qianqian didn''t take Lin Tian''s words to heart, thinking that Lin Tian was just trying to comfort her, how could he have a way if even doctors were helpless? Knowing that He Qianqian didn''t believe him, Lin Tian did not explain. He couldn''t very well tell her about his superpower. Moreover, Lin Tian had considered it, and he truly might be able to help her grandma. First of all, the system wouldn''t give him a mission he couldn''t complete. If it''s doable, then there must be a way. He wasn''t a doctor; the only thing that set him apart from ordinary people was his superpower. So, the moment he received the mission, Lin Tian''s first thought was of his superpower. After checking his superpowers, Lin Tian realized there was only one thing that could possibly help He Qianqian''s grandmother. And that was something Lin Tian had used twice before: Level 0 Healing Water. Enjoy new adventures at empire Despite being Level 0, the Healing Water had a very powerful effect. It even worked when Lin Tian was shot by a handgun, and Lin Tian believed it should also work this time. After a warm moment with Lin Tian, He Qianqian left. She had to go to the hospital to bring soup to her grandmother. Once He Qianqian had left, Lin Tian thought, and with a flip of his hand, a tiny glass vial appeared in his palm, just by his intention. This was the Level 0 Healing Water. Looking at the Healing Water, Lin Tian was silent and seemed thoughtful. Chapter 80 Miracle Gazing at the Level 0 Healing Water in her hand for a moment, Lin Tian flipped her hand and, clutching the Healing Water, walked out the door.Fearing any mishaps, Lin Tian decided she would administer the Healing Water to He Qianqian''s grandmother right away. As Lin Tian left the hotel, she happened to see He Qianqian getting into a green taxi. After giving the taxi a glance and waiting for a minute or two, Lin Tian also hailed a cab. "Driver, to the Affiliated Hospital!" Lin Tian said as soon as she got in the car. Earlier, in her hotel room, Lin Tian had found out that He Qianqian''s grandmother was in that hospital. Twenty minutes later, Lin Tian got out of the taxi and then, in a spot where no one and no cameras were present, she turned invisible. Once she was invisible, Lin Tian walked towards the hospital, heading straight for the inpatient department of internal medicine. A few minutes later, as Lin Tian entered room 506, she saw He Qianqian sitting by the bed, speaking softly to the old lady lying there. Lin Tian took a glance at the old lady on the bed. Quite old, the old lady''s face was full of wrinkles, and her cloudy eyes looked extremely tired, lacking energy. The continuous high fever had already made her mind somewhat confused. There were also some people standing by another bed. These people, whether men or women, young or old, Lin Tian guessed, must be He Qianqian''s relatives. As Lin Tian stood by the door observing, she suddenly noticed a doctor in his forties, wearing a white lab coat, walking towards them. Seeing the doctor coming, Lin Tian hastily made way. "Director Liu! Director Liu!" Upon seeing the doctor approach, everyone in the room hurriedly called out. "Let me check the situation," Director Liu nodded slightly and then began examining the old lady''s condition. A few minutes later, Director Liu shook his head slightly, glanced over at everyone, and then walked out of the room. Noticing the look in Director Liu''s eyes, a few of He Qianqian''s relatives hastily followed him. He Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then also stepped out. Suddenly, the entire room was empty. After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian also walked over. As she approached, Lin Tian saw Director Liu shaking his head helplessly, "It''s no use; prepare for the worst, she simply can''t recover from the fever, and her life is at risk at any moment." "Is there really no way?" He Qianqian asked anxiously. "There''s no way, even God himself couldn''t help. I''m sorry," Director Liu said apologetically, looking at He Qianqian and the others. He knew the old lady was beyond saving. Unless a miracle occurred. But that was impossible! sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a sigh, Director Liu shook his head and walked away. Hearing these words, everyone''s mood soured. After a long silence, He Qianqian pressed her somewhat pale lips and returned to the ward, then opened the thermos and took out the chicken soup inside. After testing the temperature of the soup, He Qianqian began to feed the old lady with a spoon, one small sip at a time. But at that moment, the old lady''s consciousness was already somewhat blurred; although she would drink most of it, some soup still leaked from the corner of her mouth. Stay tuned with empire So, He Qianqian gently wiped the chicken soup from the corner of the old lady''s mouth with a paper towel. Seeing He Qianqian start to feed the old lady chicken soup, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened, and she slowly approached. Coming up next to He Qianqian, Lin Tian took advantage of her inattention and carefully poured the Healing Water from her hand into the chicken soup. Lin Tian had waited until this moment to pour the Healing Water into the chicken soup because she was afraid the old lady wouldn''t drink it. Now there were no issues. After pouring the Healing Water into the chicken soup, Lin Tian slowly stepped back and then intently watched the old lady. At that moment, He Qianqian scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup for the old lady, this spoonful mixed with Healing Water. Lin Tian''s gaze remained fixed. Under Lin Tian''s watchful eye, the old lady drank the spoonful of chicken soup mixed with Healing Water. Lin Tian''s gaze was fixed intently. No reaction! The old lady showed no reaction. Another sip! Sip by sip, Lin Tian gradually noticed that the old lady''s blurred eyes began to focus. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian felt a surge of joy, there was hope! "Come, Grandma, have another sip." He Qianqian scooped up another spoonful of chicken soup with tenderness. And then, unexpectedly, the old lady opened her mouth herself. After a sip of the chicken soup, the old lady turned her head to look at He Qianqian by the bed and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Qianqian..." He Qianqian was taken aback by the sudden voice, staring at the old lady with a look of astonishment. "Grandma, have you woken up?" He Qianqian said excitedly, putting down the spoon and grasping the old lady''s slightly raised hand with both hands. Upon touching her hand, He Qianqian was startled again. Looking down at her grandmother''s wrinkled hand, she was incredulous! Doubtful, He Qianqian reached out to touch her grandmother''s forehead again. It''s really not hot! The fever has gone down? After a moment of shock, He Qianqian suddenly stood up with excitement, exclaiming, "The fever is gone! Grandma''s fever is gone!" "What? What?" He Qianqian''s voice made everyone in the room startle. Others reached out to touch the old lady''s forehead, which indeed was no longer burning as before. Then everyone looked surprised and hurried to the doctor''s office. ** In the doctor''s office, a twenty-something intern was consulting with Director Liu, "Director Liu, is the fever of the old lady in room 506 really incurable?" "Incurable, even if God himself came, it would be of no use!" Director Liu said with certainty. "Doctor! Doctor..." Just then, a loud cry of urgency and tension came from outside. "What''s going on?" Director Liu stood up somewhat nervously. "Director Liu, my mother''s fever has broken!" "What?" Director Liu looked shocked. After a moment of shock, Director Liu hurried to the ward. Ten minutes later, after an examination, Director Liu confirmed that the old lady was out of danger and her high fever had subsided. Even though the examination confirmed it, Director Liu still looked in disbelief, murmuring to himself, "A miracle! It''s truly a miracle!" And He Qianqian, coming back to her senses from the surprise, remembered what Lin Tian had said before. He had said her grandma would get better. Unbelievably, her grandmother really had recovered. "Such a lucky star!" He Qianqian was very happy. Noticing the smile on He Qianqian''s face, Lin Tian was also in good spirits. At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission: Help He Qianqian''s grandmother escape from mortal danger completed. Reward: two Supernatural Points." With the mission completed, Lin Tian also felt a wave of joy to see that He Qianqian''s grandmother was alright. Lin Tian did not want to stay here any longer. This place was crowded, and it would be troublesome if someone were to bump into his body while he was invisible. Assuring that everything was alright, Lin Tian turned to leave. Stepping out of the hospital, he went to a secluded area and deactivated his invisibility. Once he was visible again, Lin Tian felt his phone vibrating in his pocket. Lin Tian took out his phone and saw that it was He Qianqian calling. Chapter 81 Call Out and Tear Your Mouth Again Lin Tian soon answered the phone, and as soon as he connected, he heard He Qianqian''s surprised voice, "Lin Tian, my grandma is fine! She, she''s better!"Feeling the excitement in He Qianqian''s tone, Lin Tian smiled slightly and said softly, "Don''t rush, slow down." "Hmm!" Lin Tian clearly heard He Qianqian taking a deep breath on the other end, and then he felt her tone calm down a lot: "Lin Tian, let me tell you, my grandma''s fever has gone down, and she is out of life-threatening danger. The doctor said there won''t be any big problems this time," He Qianqian said in one breath. Lin Tian laughed somewhat smugly, "I told you, your grandma would be fine!" "I really didn''t expect you to be so effective," He Qianqian seemed very happy. "Of course, look who it is!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, his face brimming with a smile. Lin Tian was also in a good mood. "Are you at the hotel now? Wait for me there, I will come to find you after I''m done here!" At this moment, He Qianqian was eager to share her excited feelings with Lin Tian. "Alright, I''ll wait for you," Lin Tian smiled slightly. Continue reading on empire After chatting a bit more, they hung up the phone. After hanging up, Lin Tian held his phone and thought for a moment. He did not immediately go back, but decided to wait next to the hospital. Lin Tian decided to wait outside for He Qianqian, planning to surprise her. Standing under the tree shade, Lin Tian waited boredly, and after half an hour, still had not seen He Qianqian come out. Somewhat bored, Lin Tian took out his phone and started reading a novel, occasionally glancing towards the gate. Half an hour later, Lin Tian looked up, and his eyes lit up as he saw He Qianqian, dressed in a white shirt, walking briskly from the hospital. Her steps seemed a bit hurried, as though she was rushing. Sweeping He Qianqian with his gaze, Lin Tian briefly smiled, intending to walk over and surprise her. Suddenly, Lin Tian paused, looking puzzled at He Qianqian. Lin Tian had initially thought that He Qianqian would directly take a taxi to his hotel after coming out, but she started walking in another direction from the hospital. "What is she doing?" Lin Tian swept a glance, thought for a moment, and then walked over. After coming out of the hospital, He Qianqian hurriedly walked to a fruit store next to the hospital. She wanted to buy some fruit to bring for Lin Tian to try. Dressed in a white shirt and blue denim shorts, He Qianqian attracted many eyes. On her way to buy fruits, many men covertly glanced at He Qianqian. Their eyes sparkled with amazement, such a beautiful woman. Accustomed to these men''s gazes, He Qianqian didn''t pay them any attention. S§×ar?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. She just walked briskly forward, only wanting to buy some fruit quickly to find Lin Tian. Seeing He Qianqian walk into the fruit store, Lin Tian was momentarily taken aback, then nodded in realization. So she had run off to buy fruit. Thus, Lin Tian stood far on the side, planning to suddenly appear when He Qianqian came over later to surprise her. "Move along, stop staring!" At that moment, a displeased voice on the street in front of the fruit store reached Lin Tian''s ears. Lin Tian glanced over, just to see a thirty-something plump woman looking annoyed while pulling a bald middle-aged man. And this middle-aged man was frequently glancing back toward the fruit store. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian frowned. Even though he did not know who this man was watching, Lin Tian guessed he was looking at He Qianqian. He knew of He Qianqian''s ability to turn heads, as people often snuck glances at her on the street, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Lin Tian couldn''t just rush up and beat someone just because they looked once. "Move! Stop staring!" That angry shout came again. Lin Tian looked up and saw that, though the bald middle-aged man was being pulled away by the plump woman beside him, he was still frequently turning back, unwillingly glancing at the fruit store. With no other choice, he was dragged away by the plump woman. And just then, Lin Tian also saw He Qianqian coming out with a bag of fruit. Seeing He Qianqian, the bald man''s eyes brightened, almost unabashedly staring at her. Feeling the blatant gaze of the man beside her, He Qianqian frowned slightly, didn''t say anything, just quickened her pace. Seeing her husband still continuously staring at this woman, the plump woman completely lost her temper, yelling, "Have you never seen a woman before, still staring!" The plump woman''s shout was full of vigor, heard throughout the entire street. Suddenly startled by the voice, He Qianqian paused subconsciously in her steps. Who knew that this pause would invite trouble. The chubby woman scolded her husband, then turned to He Qianqian and started lashing out, "You vixen, why dress so scantily if not to seduce? Shameless!" "You..." He Qianqian''s eyes widened in shock at the woman, face filled with astonishment, having never encountered such a person before. "Look, what are you looking at? Be careful or I''ll gouge out your eyes, you ****, don''t know how many men have slept with you!" The chubby woman stood with her hands on her hips, her aura completely imposing. "You..." He Qianqian''s face turned white with anger, wanting to retaliate but unable to curse out a single word. "You what? Dressing so innocently, who knows where you''ve been working!" the chubby woman sneered at He Qianqian. He Qianqian''s breathing became rapid, clearly infuriated. She had never been insulted so senselessly and harshly in her life! The sudden conflict drew the attention of the surrounding crowd, curious onlookers began to circle around. Upon hearing the chubby woman''s words, many people turned their gazes towards He Qianqian, whispering among themselves. The surrounding glances and whispered words only added to He Qianqian''s embarrassment. Seeing that He Qianqian didn''t respond, the chubby woman did not let up, continuing to berate,"You vixen, you..." "Slap!" Suddenly, a resounding slap cut her off! Slap! The sudden slap stunned everyone, The slap directly knocked the chubby woman to the ground! Everyone gazed in shock at the scene, dumbstruck by the young man who had suddenly appeared. Seeing this person, He Qianqian opened her mouth wide in disbelief, "Lin Tian?" Lin Tian coldly stared at the woman he had just slapped down, his tone chilling, "Shout again and I''ll rip your mouth apart!" "You, you dare to hit me..." the chubby woman struggled to get up, covering her swollen cheek, her words leaking through her lips. "Slap!" Lin Tian slapped her again. Spit! A tooth, covered in blood, was spat out! Lin Tian''s slap had knocked her tooth out. "Hey!" At this moment, the bald man finally reacted, charging forward intending to teach Lin Tian a lesson. With a calm face, Lin Tian kicked up sharply. Lin Tian directly kicked the man, sending him flying. After scanning the two of them, noticing people beginning to take photos, Lin Tian decided not to linger and, grabbing the somewhat dazed He Qianqian, quickly walked away. After walking briskly for a while, Lin Tian grasped He Qianqian''s hand and slowed his pace. As soon as he slowed, He Qianqian, still in shock, looked at Lin Tian, "Why are you here?" "I came over as soon as I received your call, I was actually planning to surprise you," Lin Tian said somewhat helplessly. He Qianqian helplessly shook her head, the previous scene still seemed somewhat surreal to her. But that woman was truly detestable. "Let''s go, let''s go back," Lin Tian said consolingly, giving He Qianqian a slight smile. Half an hour later, Lin Tian and He Qianqian arrived at the hotel where Lin Tian was staying. By then, He Qianqian had calmed down. Back in the room, they talked for a bit about his grandmother''s condition, then He Qianqian went to the bathroom to take a shower. Busy with her grandmother''s affairs, He Qianqian hadn''t showered properly for days. Seeing He Qianqian taking a shower, Lin Tian, bored, lay on the bed watching TV. A few minutes later, He Qianqian emerged in a white bathrobe and began drying her hair with a hair dryer. Seeing He Qianqian in just a white bathrobe, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, and he quietly walked over to her. Coming behind He Qianqian, he suddenly pulled at the bathrobe. "Ah..." He Qianqian screamed. Chapter 82 Did I Hear Wrong? Lin Tian turned his head and found that his cellphone was ringing.Lin Tian leaned over to pick up the cellphone and glanced at it. "Who is it?" He Qianqian asked curiously, lifting her head. "It''s my mom," Lin Tian replied, and then he answered the call. "Hello? Mom!" "Bro! You''re famous now! You''ve become the top scorer!" An excited shriek from his sister Lin Fang came through the phone. "What happened?" Lin Tian asked, somewhat startled. "Hey! Brother, you haven''t forgotten the date, have you? It''s the 23rd, the college entrance exam scores are out!" Lin Fang''s voice turned urgent over the phone. "Ah?" Lin Tian was taken aback; he had indeed forgotten. However, after a moment''s pause, he realized what his sister meant; he must have scored well, possibly even as the top scorer. So Lin Tian asked with curiosity, "Did you check for me? How did I do?" "I used your exam registration number to check online, and brother, do you know how many points you scored? 700 points! You''re the top scorer in the college entrance exam, no one in the province scored higher than you!" Lin Fang''s voice was loud, even He Qianqian at his side could hear. Hearing Lin Fang''s voice on the phone, He Qianqian was stunned. She hadn''t expected Lin Tian to score so high. "Hey, Lin Tian, where are you now?" This time, the voice of his mother, Shi Qing, came through the phone. Clearly the phone had been passed to her. "Uh..." Lin Tian hesitated briefly then said, "I''m hanging out in Jia''an City." "Stop hanging out, and come back quickly," Shi Qing''s voice was also filled with excitement. Her son had done so well; she felt a sense of pride and relief. "Oh, okay, I''ll do that," Lin Tian nodded again and again. After a brief chat with his mom, Lin Tian hung up the phone. After hanging up, Lin Tian glanced at He Qianqian, gave a wry smile, and said, "It looks like I have to go back." "You should go back. Come over again when you have time," He Qianqian said with a light smile, then looked at Lin Tian with some surprise, "I didn''t expect you could score that well." "Well, that''s because you don''t know who taught this student!" Lin Tian boasted with a smile, reaching his hand toward He Qianqian. Continue reading on empire "Don''t move!" He Qianqian slapped Lin Tian''s hand away, gave him a look, and huffed, "And you''re boasting? You don''t even know how bad you used to be in your grades." ** A day later, carrying a small bag, Lin Tian arrived at Greenlight Residential Complex. Originally, Lin Tian did not want to return so soon, but his family had urged him fervently, so he had no choice but to come back. As he walked into the entrance of the residential complex, he hadn''t gone far when he saw a mother and son approaching from ahead. The mother and son held their heads high, exuding a great deal of confidence. They seemed very spirited. After glancing at the mother and son, Lin Tian''s brows slightly furrowed. He recognized them; they used to live above Lin Tian''s apartment. Later, they moved out and rented their old place to someone else. He didn''t know why they had come back now. The son used to go to the same school as Lin Tian, but after they moved, he transferred to another school. Lin Tian did not like this family at all because they were too boastful. Still, he continued walking forward. "Hello, Aunt Lin, come over when you have the time," Lin Tian greeted them as he walked by. "Oh, Lin Tian!" Aunt Lin''s face, with some wrinkles, lit up with recognition. "Mhm!" Lin Tian replied politely, then planned to leave, but she stopped him. "Hey, don''t go. Lin Tian, you''re also a senior three student, right?" Aunt Lin asked warmly, smiling at Lin Tian. "Yes," Lin Tian stopped, looking at her curiously. "The scores came out yesterday. How much did you score?" Aunt Lin continued to smile at Lin Tian. From her smile, Lin Tian knew what was going on. Her son must have scored well, and she was probably looking to show off again. Now Lin Tian also realized why they were here. Not wanting to waste time, Lin Tian replied casually, "It was okay." "Could you make it into a second-tier university?" Aunt Lin looked at Lin Tian with an encouraging gaze, as if talking to a junior, "It''s okay if you didn''t, you can always retake the exam next year, just work hard. My son Feng got 650 points this year." "Oh, congrats then!" Lin Tian said with some resignation. With that, he prepared to leave. But before Lin Tian could step away, Aunt Lin grabbed his hand, "Hey, I haven''t finished talking to you, child. You''re in such a hurry. I''m telling you, if you decide to retake the exam and need help, just ask Feng if he''s around. We moved back here." "..." Lin Tian was speechless, opened his mouth but eventually said nothing. As he was about to leave, suddenly a group of people walked into the residential complex. The group headed inside and encountered Lin Tian and the other two. Seeing Lin Tian, the middle-aged leader''s eyes brightened, and he quickly approached, "Is this Lin Tian?" "I am? And you are...?" Lin Tian looked at the man in confusion. "I''m from the city''s education bureau, and on behalf of the bureau, I congratulate you for having secured the top score on the college entrance exam. We''ve also brought a small scholarship for you!" The middle-aged man smiled warmly at Lin Tian. He had seen Lin Tian''s photo beforehand, so he recognized him. "Ah? Oh! Thank you!" Lin Tian responded belatedly and quickly said, "Please, come over to my place." As the group walked away, Aunt Lin and her son stood there frozen, staring in disbelief. Top scorer on the college entrance exam? Did they hear that right? Lin Tian? ... Bringing this group of people back home turned the place lively again. In the following days, Lin Tian''s home buzzed with bustle. There were friends and relatives coming to congratulate, news reporters and TV stations conducting interviews, and then the banquets to host. For a whole week, Lin Tian had no respite. He had to deal with one thing after another. Lin Tian found it all very annoying; this wasn''t what he wanted at all. If it were up to him, he would prefer to hide away in his room reading novels. But that just wasn''t possible. Essential socializing still had to happen, of course, mostly pressured by his mother, Shi Qing. Sick to death of it all, Lin Tian began to regret why he ever bothered to perform so well academically, landing him in the current situation. However, after a week, the troubles died down quite a bit. While some websites still wanted interviews, he managed to fend them off. Finally, Lin Tian could catch his breath. That afternoon, after finishing lunch, Lin Tian, bored, sprawled on the sofa watching TV. "I''m off to work," said Lin Fang, who didn''t have the luxury of leisure like Lin Tian. She had found a summer job to ''gain some experience.'' "Oh, that soon?" Lin Tian looked up at the wall clock and saw it was just twelve-thirty. "Someone invited us sisters out for the afternoon." Lin Fang said as she opened the door to leave. Lin Tian didn''t think much of it and responded, continuing to watch TV. An hour later, Lin Tian, bored with flipping through TV channels, turned off the set in resignation, muttering, "Nothing good on." Stretching languidly, he reached for his phone to check for updates on the novels he was following. But the moment he unlocked his phone, it began to vibrate in his hand. Lin Tian glanced at the screen¡ªit was a call from an unknown number. Seeing the number, Lin Tian frowned, puzzled, and answered, "Hello?" As soon as the call connected, the frantic and anxious voice of his sister, Lin Fang, came through, "Brother! Hurry, save me, I''m at Heavenly Eye, I... thud!" Her words were cut off abruptly as the call ended! Staring at the disconnected call buzzing on his phone, Lin Tian was stunned. After a moment of shock, Lin Tian''s face turned ashen and he scrambled to his feet! Lin Tian dashed out the door in a frenzy, not even bothering to change out of his slippers! Once outside, he forcefully flagged down a taxi, pulling out the passengers by force. Jumping into the cab, Lin Tian threw a wad of cash at the driver and barked coldly, "To Heavenly Eye! Fast!" Faced with Lin Tian''s fearsome glare, the driver, who had been about to curse, quietly started the car. Eight minutes later, Lin Tian stormed into the Heavenly Eye Club. "Hey!" As Lin Tian burst in, two white-uniformed security guards at the door hurried forward to stop him. "Out of my way!" Lin Tian roared, shoving past the guards. He charged into the lobby, eyes wide as he frantically looked around. One sweeping glance later, Lin Tian quickly strode toward the front desk. Reaching the desk, Lin Tian grabbed a female supervisor with one hand and demanded, "Where is this person?" As he spoke, he took a small photo out of his wallet. In the picture were Lin Tian and his sister. "You¡­" The sudden aggression whitened the female supervisor''s face with fear. "Hey, kid!" At that moment, the two security guards Lin Tian had shoved aside rushed back in, along with three more. Seeing the advancing guards, the female supervisor''s face quickly recovered some color, her eyes gaining a hint of confidence. "What are you doing!" One guard hustled over, grabbing Lin Tian''s shoulder, trying to spin him around. The other security personnel also charged toward Lin Tian. A flash of rage crossed Lin Tian''s eyes. Releasing the supervisor, he spun around¡ªsmack! Lin Tian''s slap sent the guard grabbing his shoulder flying, knocking him unconscious. "Bam!" Lin Tian forcefully kicked out! Smack! Another guard was sent flying with a kick. Lin Tian grabbed an ashtray from the counter and flung it. Bang! Instantly, another onrushing guard was struck in the head, bloodied and knocked out cold! Clean and efficient! In just a few seconds, three guards lay on the ground, immobile! Lin Tian''s ruthless display shocked everyone, and the remaining two guards froze, too frightened to advance. Lin Tian glared, his eyes bloodshot, then forcefully pulled the dazed female supervisor to him, demanding, "Take me to this girl!"

"Take me there!" Lin Tian tightened his grip, commanding her! Chapter 83 You Want to Die, Im Waiting In the upstairs private room at Heaven and Earth, four young men clutching four dazed young girls were drinking.Due to excessive drinking, their faces were all slightly flushed. "Come, let me sing ''The Boatman''s Love,''" one of the young men in his twenties said, hugging a groggy girl and smiling cheerily. Lin Fang tried weakly to pry the man''s arm from her shoulder, but she felt dizzy and powerless. Lin Fang''s eyes were hazy as she noticed the three classmates beside her were in the same condition. They were drugged! Find your next adventure on empire That was Lin Fang''s thought. "Brother, come quickly!" Lin Fang leaned weakly on the shoulder of the young man, feeling extremely anxious inside. Bang! The door instantly shattered into pieces! Lin Tian coldly swept his gaze around, threw the female supervisor he was holding, and strode inside. Upon entering, Lin Tian smelled the strong alcohol in the room and the lingering smoke in the air... Lin Tian frowned, scanned the room quickly, and instantly, intense rage flared in his eyes. His bloodshot eyes glared at a young man. This man was hugging his sister, and her condition obviously wasn''t good. Lin Tian, his face filled with anger, charged over rapidly! "Hey, you..." Seeing Lin Tian suddenly rush in, everyone in the room was astonished. But before they could react, Lin Tian rushed over and slapped one young man across the face. "Smack!" Lin Tian''s slap instantly swollen the young man''s face! Seeing the hand around his sister, Lin Tian''s gaze turned icy, he grabbed the man''s hand and snapped it! Crack! With a crisp sound, the man''s wrist was forcefully bent at a ninety-degree angle by Lin Tian! "Ahh!" A piercing scream leaked out. Hearing the scream, Lin Tian punched him cold-faced! His fist directly targeted the man''s mouth! "Er..." The young man''s cry stopped abruptly! He felt like a hammer had smashed into his mouth. Shattered! He felt all his teeth were shattered! Pain! Endless pain washed over him. Due to the pain, his face was all crumpled up. He wanted to scream, but he couldn''t even make a sound. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian picked up his somewhat groggy sister. Fast! Too fast! From the moment Lin Tian burst in until he picked up Lin Fang, very little time had passed. Just a few seconds. By the time Lin Tian had picked up his sister, the people in the room were still not reacting. "You..." Dazed for a moment, one of them pointed at Lin Tian as if he wanted to say something. But Lin Tian didn''t give him a chance. With one hand, he hoisted his sister over his shoulder, grabbed an empty beer bottle, and smashed it over the head of another person! Bang! The man''s head instantly split open! Blood flowed profusely! Lin Tian, with a cold face, threw away the shattered beer bottle in his hand, grabbed another empty bottle, and smashed it again! Bang! Again, in an instant, the opponent felt his head go fuzzy! Lin Tian grabbed the wine bottle and smashed it at another person! Bang, bang! Lin Tian was so fast that the two men couldn''t react before he forcibly knocked them to the ground! "Hmph!" Lin Tian coldly threw the broken beer bottle from his hand, coldly scanning the several people groaning non-stop on the ground. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian turned to the stunned manager and said, "Call some people over, help the girls out. And call a car to the hospital." "Ah, okay!" the manager paused for a moment, then turned and began instructing the onlookers outside the room. Lin Tian''s fierce appearance truly terrified the manager, she didn''t want to resist and provoke a beating, especially if it might cost her life. The others shared the manager''s sentiment, so no one dared resist Lin Tian; everyone obediently followed his commands. Watching the girls being helped out of the private room, Lin Tian glanced over and carried his sister out as well. Just as Lin Tian was about to leave the private room, a weak voice suddenly came from behind him, "Kid, you will regret this!" Lin Tian paused for a moment, then slowly turned around, only to see a young man lying on the couch, holding his forehead and looking at him with a sinister face. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly walked over. As he approached, Lin Tian continued to squint at him. At that moment, he stared back at Lin Tian without showing weakness. "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled coldly, reached out and fiercely grabbed the other''s hair, and then viciously smashed his head onto the coffee table! Bang! The glass coffee table immediately developed several cracks. Lin Tian gripped his hair and lifted his head. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The violent blow caused blood to slowly ooze out and flow into his eyes; Lin Tian squinted, leaned forward, and stared into his eyes, saying word by word, "You want to die, I''ll be waiting!" Saying this, Lin Tian scoffed, flung his hand, and quickly left. Less than ten minutes after Lin Tian left, a police car suddenly stopped at the entrance of Heavenly Eye. Then four or five police officers quickly ran toward Heavenly Eye. The leader was surprisingly Chen Yixuan. ** Meanwhile, Lin Tian was anxiously waiting outside a hospital room, and at that moment Lin Tian''s parents also hurried over. Such a major incident naturally couldn''t be kept from his parents. Aside from Lin Tian''s parents, the parents of the other three girls also arrived. After a long wait, the doctor finally came out of the hospital room. Seeing the anxious families waiting outside, the doctor comforted them, "The patient is fine, just drugged with some sedative. Resting after a drip will do." Hearing this, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, it''s all right! If something had happened to his sister, Lin Tian surely wouldn''t have let them off. After staying with his sister in the room for an hour, the family was ready to leave after the drip was finished. While waiting, suddenly two police officers walked into the room. Lin Tian glanced at the two officers, looking somewhat surprised. It turned out to be an acquaintance. Lin Tian saw Chen Yixuan in uniform. The instant Lin Tian saw Chen Yixuan, Chen Yixuan also saw him. Upon seeing Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan walked straight up to him and said expressionlessly, "Please come to the police station." "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled bitterly, raised his hands and held them out in front of Chen Yixuan, "Do you want to cuff me?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian somewhat unexpectedly, shook her head, and said, "No need." "Then let''s go," Lin Tian promptly got up. Chapter 84 Beautiful Lady, Please Have a Meal ```"Ah..." Seeing this scene, Lin Tian''s father, Lin Cheng, panicked. "It''s nothing, just recording a statement. If you''re worried, you can come with us," knowing what Lin Cheng was concerned about, Chen Yixuan explained. Worried about Lin Tian, Lin Cheng still followed to the police station. Half an hour later, Chen Yixuan closed her notebook and stood up, "Alright, you can go now." "That''s it?" Lin Tian was somewhat surprised. Chen Yixuan gave Lin Tian a look, "What did you think? Let me tell you, I''ll handle the rest. They won''t seek revenge against you, don''t worry." Lin Tian looked at Chen Yixuan in surprise, as he had been prepared to face retaliation, but he hadn''t expected Chen Yixuan to have resolved the matter on his behalf. It seems Chen Yixuan had some connections that allowed her to influence the other party. Free of trouble, Lin Tian also breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to thank her, "Thanks!" Seeing that Lin Tian''s attitude was sincere, Chen Yixuan nodded with satisfaction, "Go on, and try not to stir up trouble for no reason." What does she mean by that? When have I ever caused trouble? Lin Tian felt dissatisfied when he heard this, but remembering that she had just helped him, he managed to resist talking back. Just as Lin Tian was about to leave the interrogation room, he halted mid-step, his body frozen in place. A look of surprise flashed across Lin Tian''s eyes. Just then, a synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind: "Task: Help Chen Yixuan find the Jade Buddha. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point." A task, a task has actually appeared? "What''s wrong, aren''t you leaving?" Chen Yixuan, seeing Lin Tian standing there in a daze, frowned. Snapping back to reality, Lin Tian glanced at Chen Yixuan''s neck, and sure enough. Lin Tian remembered seeing a red cord around Chen Yixuan''s neck, and he had even seen the Jade Buddha while in Asia. The Jade Buddha was crystal clear and very beautiful. But now, the red cord around Chen Yixuan''s neck had vanished. Clearly, the Jade Buddha that hung from it was lost. S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What are you looking at!" Chen Yixuan became slightly annoyed as Lin Tian gazed at her, not forgetting the ''intrusion'' he had committed previously. "Did you lose your Jade Buddha?" Lin Tian suddenly asked. "What?" Chen Yixuan was startled, then looked at Lin Tian in surprise, "How did you know?" The Jade Buddha was very important to her; it was a gift from her grandfather when she was a child, and she had worn it since then, holding deep sentimental value. But the Jade Buddha had been lost two days before, and she had no idea where it had gone. Even the use of surveillance cameras had failed to locate it. Having been disappointed, she was now surprised to hear news of the Jade Buddha, could it be... With this thought, Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian expectantly. Explore stories on empire Noticing the hope in Chen Yixuan''s eyes, guessing what she was thinking, Lin Tian shook his head, "I just noticed the red cord on your neck was gone, so I asked, I haven''t found it." Chen Yixuan paused for a moment, then her expression showed a hint of disappointment. Seeing the disappointment on her face, Lin Tian gave a slight smile, "Although I haven''t found it, I can help you get it back!" "You? Forget it!" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian dismissively. Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "Don''t believe me? Remember when I said I''d help you catch a criminal last time?" "Uh..." Chen Yixuan was taken aback, recalling the previous incident. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yixuan spoke tentatively, "Fine, if you really find it, I''ll treat you to a meal." "No problem, just trust me!" Lin Tian smiled confidently and then quickly turned and left the interrogation room. Watching Lin Tian''s retreating figure, Chen Yixuan shook her head, still somewhat skeptical that Lin Tian could find the Jade Buddha, as she herself didn''t even know when it had been lost. Could he really find it? Chen Yixuan was doubtful. As soon as Lin Tian left the interrogation room, Lin Cheng, who had been anxiously waiting outside, hurried over, "Xiaotian, is everything okay?" "Dad, it''s okay, we can go home now." Lin Tian gave his father a reassuring smile. "Are you sure it''s okay?" Lin Cheng was still somewhat concerned. "Absolutely," Lin Tian responded confidently. "Good, good!" Lin Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. Exiting the Public Security Bureau, Lin Cheng called Shi Qing to learn she and Lin Fang had already returned home, so Lin Cheng and Lin Tian didn''t go to the hospital and instead took a taxi home. Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Lin Tian closed his eyes and began to focus his attention on the Supernatural Ability System. His gaze swept over the superpower menu and finally rested on one ability: Level 1 Divination Technique, which required one Supernatural Point to exchange. As Lin Tian focused on the Divination Technique, information about it instantly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. After reading the information carefully, Lin Tian nodded slightly and exchanged for it. With a thought from Lin Tian, one of the four golden Supernatural Points floating above his Sea of Consciousness disappeared, and he instantly felt a warmth throughout his body. The warm sensation was fleeting, and then Lin Tian no longer felt any differences. But Lin Tian knew that he had learned the divination technique. This Level 1 Divination Technique was weak and could only predict trivial matters. Moreover, it couldn''t be used on himself or even on people close to Lin Tian. This was the so-called ''fortune-telling others but not oneself.'' Despite its weakness, the Divination Technique was sufficient to help Chen Yixuan find the Jade Buddha. After returning home and comforting his sister a bit, feeling there were no issues, Lin Tian retired to his room. Sitting on a chair, Lin Tian took out three one-yuan coins from his pocket. Holding the silver coins, he murmured to himself and activated the Divination Technique before tossing them onto the desk. Whoosh~! The three silver coins spun rapidly on the desk, with Lin Tian watching intently. Finally, the coins stopped spinning. Just as they settled, a stream of information appeared in Lin Tian''s mind. As for what the information specifically was, Lin Tian couldn''t quite articulate it; it was ineffable... Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then left his bedroom and told his parents he needed to step out for a bit. Afterward, Lin Tian opened the door and walked out. ``` Lin Tian walked out of the gate of the residential complex, looking around before heading to the right. As for why he chose the right, it was Lin Tian''s intuition that told him he would find the Jade Buddha that way. After walking a certain distance, Lin Tian suddenly stopped at a bus station. Why stop here? It was that indescribable feeling again. Watching the buses pass by one after another, suddenly Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. A number 25 bus was approaching in the distance. When the bus came to a halt, Lin Tian got on. Why get on the bus? It was that same indistinct feeling. This was the marvel of Divination Technique. Twenty minutes later, Lin Tian got off the bus. As soon as he disembarked, he looked around and found himself at the City Sports Square. "Could the Jade Buddha be here?" Lin Tian wondered, and then followed his feelings forward. After a few steps, Lin Tian suddenly felt that the Jade Buddha was not far away. Lin Tian walked slowly into the sports square and then towards the basketball court. As he walked, suddenly, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks, his gaze fixed on a young man wearing a white basketball uniform. Lin Tian had a strong feeling that the Jade Buddha was on him. He then quickened his pace towards the young man. With one glance, indeed, he saw a red cord around the young man''s neck. Seeing the cord, a sudden realization flashed through Lin Tian''s mind¡ªthe Jade Buddha must be on his neck. Thinking this, Lin Tian approached him and said calmly, "Did you pick up a Jade Buddha?" Wang Hao, who was watching the basketball game, was about to curse when someone blocked his view, but Lin Tian''s words made him pause and his insult retracted. After a moment of silence and a glance at Lin Tian, Wang Hao''s face flashed with impatience, "What Jade Buddha? I don''t know what you''re talking about, get lost!" Lin Tian didn''t budge, calmly looking at him, "What you''re wearing around your neck is it." "****, are you looking for trouble?" Wang Hao stood up in anger. His 1.8 meters height seemed quite oppressive as he stood. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he extended his hand, demanding coldly, "Give it to me!" Although Lin Tian hadn''t intended to use force, he pondered whether it was necessary now. If he wouldn''t give it, Lin Tian was ready to snatch it by force! Though Wang Hao appeared defiant, he was somewhat uneasy inside because indeed, he had picked up the Jade Buddha. But he didn''t want to hand it over, so he said with a scowl, "This is my thing; what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, his face emotionless, "The Jade Buddha I dropped has a ''moon'' carved on the back. If it''s there, give it to me." "Uh..." Wang Hao was speechless because there really was a moon character on the back of the Jade. This convinced him that Lin Tian was telling the truth. However, Wang Hao had no intention of handing it over and waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost, there''s no ''moon'' character." Lin Tian''s face grew cold; his patience had worn thin. Since the other party was being uncooperative, Lin Tian had no intention of showing any more mercy. With that thought, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and reached out abruptly. "What are you doing?" Wang Hao tried to grab Lin Tian''s hand. But he couldn''t catch him; Lin Tian grabbed the red cord around his neck and pulled hard! Snap! Lin Tian instantly broke the red cord. Lin Tian snatched the Jade Buddha and inspected it in his palm for a while, nodding slightly; it was indeed Chen Yixuan''s. "Damn it!" Wang Hao came back to his senses and wanted to rush over to fight. Lin Tian looked up and kicked out directly, knocking the other man to the ground. Then, with a faint glance, Lin Tian turned and left. "Don''t appreciate kindness!" Lin Tian thought to himself as he walked away. After getting the Jade Buddha, Lin Tian didn''t rush to return it to Chen Yixuan but went home first. Lin Tian stayed at home for three days, feeling that his sister had recovered from the shadow of the incident, and then he decided to complete Chen Yixuan''s mission. Lin Tian went to his room, took out the Jade Buddha, and walked out of his house towards the Public Security Bureau. Half an hour later, Lin Tian stood outside the Public Security Bureau, idly flipping the Jade Buddha in his hand. The Jade Buddha was beautiful, smooth and ice-cold to the touch, with a hint of intoxicating green. It looked expensive. Lin Tian turned the Buddha over. The back of the Jade Buddha indeed had a ''moon'' character, though in traditional Chinese script. Lin Tian knew about the character on the back through his clairvoyant ability. After waiting a while longer, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened as Chen Yixuan came out. At that moment, Chen Yixuan was talking with a colleague as they walked out of the Public Security Bureau''s gates. Seeing Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian quickly approached, "Beautiful lady!" Upon seeing Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan paused, excused herself to her colleague, and then walked toward Lin Tian. When she reached Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan frowned and looked at him displeased, "Don''t call me like that, or I''ll arrest you!" Lin Tian pursed his lips and ignored her remark, simply saying, "Do you remember what you said?" "What?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian, puzzled. "You said you''d treat me to a meal!" "What I..." Halfway through her sentence, Chen Yixuan remembered something and looked at Lin Tian in shock, "You found my Jade Buddha?" Lin Tian smiled mischievously, stretched out his clenched hand, and then slowly opened it, "What do you think?" Seeing the familiar Jade Buddha in Lin Tian''s palm, Chen Yixuan was stunned. Had he really found it? Watching the bewildered Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian grinned, "Beautiful lady, please treat me to a meal." Chapter 85 What Do You Think? Staring at Lin Tian in a daze, Chen Yixuan reached out to take the Jade Buddha, examining it before saying, "This isn''t fake, is it?"Without speaking, Lin Tian just smiled and watched her. After a careful inspection, especially after seeing the word ''Moon'' engraved on the back, Chen Yixuan finally believed it. Indeed, this was indeed her lost Jade Pendant! Overcome with joy at its recovery, Chen Yixuan looked up at Lin Tian with a beaming smile, "Thank you, this really is my Jade Buddha." "Don''t just talk, what about the big meal you promised?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes. Hearing this, Chen Yixuan was at a loss for words and snorted coldly, "I''ll treat you tonight, I don''t have time right now. What''s your phone number? Tell me." "186..." Lin Tian then gave his phone number to Chen Yixuan. Thereafter, Chen Yixuan dialed Lin Tian''s number in front of him, and then said, "Okay, wait for my call tonight, I''m busy right now." With that, she turned and left. "Hey, what time tonight?" Lin Tian shouted from behind. "Eight o''clock!" Chen Yixuan''s voice came from a distance. Muttering to himself, Lin Tian complained, "What an attitude." Muttering under his breath, Lin Tian began to focus his attention inside his mind. As Lin Tian concentrated, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in his mind, "Task: Help Chen Yixuan find the Jade Buddha completed, reward one Supernatural Point." As the voice finished, Lin Tian discovered a golden Supernatural Point suddenly appearing in his mind. Looking at the four Supernatural Points floating in his mind, Lin Tian thought to himself, "I used one point earlier, and now I''ve got another, making it four again just right." Just like before, Lin Tian still had four Supernatural Points. It might have seemed like he hadn''t made a profit, but he had gained a Divination Technique Superpower. That was his real gain. "Not bad at all, I got a Divination Technique Superpower." Lin Tian was quite interested in this Superpower, even though it seemed not very useful at first glance, but who knows once it''s elevated to a high level. Looking down at his phone, Lin Tian saw that there was still time to spare, so he decided to head home first. Then, Lin Tian turned around and left, humming a song as he walked away: "I smile proudly, oh, I smile proudly..." At seven o''clock in the evening, Chen Yixuan called on time, "Hey, where are you? I''ll come and pick you up!" "I''m at home. Do you know where I live?" "I''ll be there soon, come outside." Having taken Lin Tian''s statement before, Chen Yixuan naturally knew where he lived. When Lin Tian stepped out of the residential complex''s entrance, it took only a few minutes before a black jeep stopped in front of him. "Get in!" A sharp command suddenly came from the driver''s seat. Lin Tian was somewhat startled as he looked inside at Chen Yixuan driving. After a moment of surprise, he opened the door and got in. Sitting in the passenger seat, Lin Tian turned his head and looked at Chen Yixuan somewhat baffled, "Why are you driving this car?" "What, I can''t?" Chen Yixuan didn''t even turn her head as she started the car. "No!" After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tian shook his head. In Lin Tian''s mind, he imagined Chen Yixuan would show up in a small sedan. Who would have thought she''d arrive in a black jeep instead? This wildly adventurous vehicle was not typically favored by girls. Of course, thinking about Chen Yixuan''s character, Lin Tian had a sudden realization. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Twenty minutes later, Chen Yixuan pulled over at a street food stall with her car. "Get out!" Chen Yixuan unbuckled her seatbelt and said. After getting out of the car, Lin Tian looked at the street food stall in surprise and turned to Chen Yixuan with a puzzled expression, "This isn''t the ''feast'' you were talking about, is it?" "A feast, the meal of a street food stall is naturally a feast." Chen Yixuan gave Lin Tian a glance and headed towards the street food stall. My god... Lin Tian was so exasperated he almost spit blood, this was what she called a feast... "Boss, give me a grilled snails and a braised carp! The usual for everything else," Chen Yixuan called out as soon as they walked in. Helpless, Lin Tian had no choice but to follow her in. Half an hour later, Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction, "The taste is really good, who would have thought this place would have such a tasty street food stall." "Right? I didn''t trick you, did I!" Chen Yixuan stretched out her hand and sucked on a snail, looking somewhat smug. "Not bad!" Lin Tian wiped his hands and picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, biting into it! Fatty but not greasy! "Hmm, very good!" Lin Tian chewed on the braised pork with big bites, speaking with a muffled voice, his face full of satisfaction. Just as they were nearly done eating and Lin Tian thought about taking a rest, suddenly a noisy dispute erupted, "Damn it! Just apologizing is enough? Lick it clean for me!" Lin Tian was startled and looked up. After listening for a while, Lin Tian figured out what was going on. It turned out that a young man accidentally knocked over a table of beer, spilling it on the leg of one of the people there. And even though the young man was apologizing, it seemed the group at the table had drunk too much, wouldn''t let it go easily, and actually demanded the young man lick it clean. Lin Tian didn''t want to get involved in this matter and, after watching for a while, continued to lower his head to eat. But just as Lin Tian lowered his head to eat, he noticed that Chen Yixuan, who had been sitting on the ground, had already gotten up. Lin Tian looked up and was stunned to see Chen Yixuan walking straight towards that table. After a moment of shock, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly. Worried something might happen to Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian also got up and walked over. With a stern face, Chen Yixuan arrived in the middle of the noisy group, walked up to the table, slammed her hand down, and shouted, "Fat Head Seven, do you want to go back inside?" "F*ck, I..." The man started to roar with fury and looked up to curse, but as soon as he looked up, he saw Chen Yixuan''s icy face. Seeing Chen Yixuan, Fat Head Seven sobered up instantly from his drunken stupor, hurriedly stood up, and said with an awkward smile, "Officer Chen..." "What are you trying to do?" Chen Yixuan asked with a cold voice and a frosty face. "Nothing, nothing at all!" Fat Head Seven said with an awkward smile. Then he turned around and gently patted the young man on the shoulder with a friendly smile, "Bro, my apologies, I got dizzy from drinking some horse piss, sorry about that, really sorry!" Seeing how quickly the man''s attitude had done a 180, the young man was stunned. "Don''t cause trouble!" Chen Yixuan coldly glared at Fat Head Seven and turned to leave. "Okay, okay!" Fat Head Seven quickly nodded in agreement. As she turned around, Chen Yixuan saw Lin Tian and looked at him strangely, "How come you''re here?" "Nothing much," Lin Tian said with an awkward smile. It seemed that Chen Yixuan was more impressive than he had imagined. She simply didn''t need his help. After the two of them returned to their seats, Lin Tian watched the group of people who were in a hurry to pay and leave, and he asked Chen Yixuan with some curiosity, "I didn''t expect you to be so capable!" "It''s nothing," said Chen Yixuan with a faint smile. She seemed not to take it to heart and wasn''t keen on elaborating. Through this scene, Lin Tian also came to realize that Chen Yixuan was not simple. Could someone ordinary have scared that group away with just a few words? Twenty minutes later, they finished eating. Lin Tian wiped his mouth with a napkin, stretched contentedly as he got up, and said with a smile, "I''ve had my fill. What are your plans? Want to take a walk together?" Chen Yixuan thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I don''t have anything else to do today anyway." "Then let''s go." After paying the bill, the two of them walked out of the eatery, strolling shoulder to shoulder. After a moment''s hesitation, Chen Yixuan turned her head and looked at Lin Tian, "I haven''t thanked you for saving my life last time." "Ah, it was nothing!" Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, then responded. "I saw the news a few days ago, I couldn''t believe that you were also the top scorer of the college entrance examination! I was really surprised when I saw it was you," Chen Yixuan said curiously, looking at Lin Tian. "What did you think?" Lin Tian said with a light smile, "Did you think I was the type of student who fights and causes trouble every day, who drinks and smokes without a care?" "To tell you the truth, I actually did think that way." "Besides being a bit of a flirt, everything else about me is pretty good." "A bit of a flirt? You''re a huge womanizer. Just thinking about it makes me angry!" Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes as if the thought of it bothered her. "It''s just a man being a man," Lin Tian chuckled. ... Walking leisurely on the sidewalk, the two chatted idly. "Hmm, what''s wrong?" Walking along, Lin Tian noticed Chen Yixuan suddenly stop, as though she was looking at something. Lin Tian looked in the direction of Chen Yixuan''s gaze with confusion and soon spotted a middle-aged man wearing a duckbill cap ahead. It was summer, cool in the evening, yet the man was strangely wearing a hat at this time of night. Chen Yixuan stared intently at the man ahead, not replying to Lin Tian, as if pondering something. After a moment of thought, Chen Yixuan briskly walked forward. Finding Chen Yixuan approaching, the man in the duckbill cap seemed to sense something and quickly turned to leave. Noticing his action, Chen Yixuan immediately rushed forward. As Chen Yixuan charged at him, the man also started to run away quickly. "Stop right there!" Chen Yixuan no longer concealed her presence and shouted commandingly. But the man did not heed her and ran even faster. "Stop right there!" Chen Yixuan hastily pursued. "This..." Lin Tian watched in astonishment as Chen Yixuan quickly took up the chase, and in the blink of an eye, Chen Yixuan had disappeared from sight, as had the man she was chasing. Lin Tian stood there, dazed, and after a moment''s thought, he pieced together why this had happened. Perhaps that man was a criminal, and Chen Yixuan must have spotted him, which is why she went after him. "She''s really something else!" Lin Tian looked somewhat helplessly at the now empty space where he was left all alone. "What should I do now?" Lin Tian muttered to himself. After pondering for a while, Lin Tian took out three coins from his pocket. Holding three silver coins in his hand, Lin Tian tossed them. Clatter! The silver coins spun rapidly on the ground. The moment the coins stopped, a wave of enigmatic information transferred into Lin Tian''s mind. Sensing the information in his mind, Lin Tian quickly started running forward. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian stopped at the entrance of a dark alley, waiting quietly. After waiting five minutes, a figure slowly approached from a distance. Wang Bing walked leisurely towards the alley, thinking smugly to himself, "Damn, that wench thinks she can catch up with me? Dream on. But it seems I can''t go out for a while now, need to lay low for some time." Considering his next steps, Wang Bing walked slowly into the alley. With his strong anti-surveillance capabilities, he believed no one could find him at this time. He thought himself to be completely safe. But just as he stepped out of the alley, he froze. He stared blankly at the young man standing before him. Explore stories at empire He remembered this boy was the one standing with that girl. How was he here? And it seemed as if he had been waiting here for some time. How was that possible? Looking at his shocked expression, Lin Tian said with a smile, "I''ve been waiting for you for a long time." After a brief stupor, Wang Bing realized what was happening, scanned his surroundings to see it was just Lin Tian, then a flash of murderous intent crossed his face and he charged swiftly towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian smiled faintly, ready for his opponent to come closer. A few seconds later, Lin Tian glanced at Wang Bing, now lying on the ground powerless, and cheerfully dialed Chen Yixuan''s number, "Hello, beauty." Five or six minutes later, Chen Yixuan ran over, gasping for breath. Looking at Wang Bing who was immobile on the ground, Chen Yixuan stared at Lin Tian in shock, "Did you really catch him?" "What do you think?" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. Chapter 86 Chicken Flavored Carrots "How did you manage to catch him?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian in astonishment.Lin Tian shrugged helplessly, "After you left, I just wandered around, and then I happened to meet him here. Later, he tried to attack me, so I had no choice but to overpower him." "Really?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian with a skeptical face, thinking it was too coincidental. "Of course," Lin Tian nodded as if it were a matter of course. Despite the far-fetched excuse, what did it matter? Lin Tian didn''t want to spend so much time concocting a perfect excuse. A barely passable one to deal with her was enough. "Beep beep..." A series of urgent siren sounds came from outside. Upon hearing the sirens, Lin Tian was startled and looked at Chen Yixuan somewhat surprised. Noticing the expression on Lin Tian''s face, Chen Yixuan explained, "He is a high-level fugitive wanted by the Public Security Bureau. After I lost him, I had already informed my colleagues. I also shared my location with them when I arrived. They should be here by now." Lin Tian glanced outside and already noticed that the siren had stopped, obviously, the police car had come to a halt. Not wanting to deal with the police, Lin Tian then looked at Chen Yixuan with a smile, "Beauty, I''ve helped you out again, shouldn''t you treat me to a meal?" "Didn''t I treat you already?" "This time is this time, last time was last time!" "Fine, I''ll contact you later!" "This time, I want something fancy!" Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes somewhat helplessly, "Okay!" "Should I leave now?" Seeing figures rapidly approaching from a distance, Lin Tian didn''t plan to meet with those policemen and quickly walked outside. As he passed by Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian sneakily reached out and pinched Chen Yixuan''s pert buttocks! Smack! Lin Tian pinched and ran away swiftly before Chen Yixuan could react. Having her buttocks pinched, Chen Yixuan was stunned for a moment, then furiously shouted at Lin Tian''s quickly departing back, "Kid, I won''t let you off!" "Feels nice, haha!" Lin Tian''s hearty laughter carried from afar. After running a distance, Lin Tian slowed down, looked at his right hand, and muttered, "Feels really nice!" ** Three days later, just when Lin Tian thought Chen Yixuan had forgotten about treating him to a meal, her call came through. Staring at the number on the phone screen, Lin Tian was startled for a moment, then answered the call with a chuckle, "Beauty, is it time to treat me to a meal?" "Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that!" Chen Yixuan''s cold snort came through the phone. "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian knowingly asked. "You..." Chen Yixuan opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing, as she couldn''t just say she was upset because you groped my buttocks. She couldn''t bring herself to say it, so she just huffed, "Are you free this afternoon? If you are, I''ll treat you to a meal, and if not, consider my debt to you paid!" If it weren''t for the fact that this incident had moved her closer to a promotion, Chen Yixuan wouldn''t bother dealing with Lin Tian, the little lecher. Although surprised that Chen Yixuan was still willing to treat him to a meal, Lin Tian readily agreed, "I''m free, I''m very free." "Good, I''ll contact you later!" saying this, Chen Yixuan abruptly ended the call. Staring at his phone that continued to buzz, Lin Tian smirked, "Such a tough attitude!" "Oh well, considering you''re a beauty, I''ll forgive you!" Lin Tian consoled himself. At four in the afternoon, Chen Yixuan called to say she had arrived at the entrance of Lin Tian''s residential complex. Lin Tian then hurriedly ran down, not quickly, because, from Chen Yixuan''s tone, if she didn''t see someone in five minutes, she was going to leave. "Let''s go!" Lin Tian shut the car door with a snap and cheerfully said. Afterward, Chen Yixuan led Lin Tian to a place called ''Binjiang Hotel'' and stopped. After getting out of the car, Lin Tian looked up at the hotel and nodded. This must be a three-star hotel, its decor definitely blew the previously visited food stall out of the water. It seemed Chen Yixuan really did bring him to a fancy place. After parking the car, the two headed to the hotel lobby. As they entered the lobby, Lin Tian saw a display stand outside the hotel. Lin Tian glanced at it; it seemed to be a request for high-level chefs or something. Lin Tian glanced at it and didn''t pay much attention, then walked inside. Inside the hotel, they ordered food, ate, and everything was quite ordinary. However, it was a bit subdued this time, possibly because Chen Yixuan was really a bit upset, and she barely interacted with Lin Tian. "Hey, you''re not really upset, are you?" Lin Tian took a bite of greens and curiously looked at Chen Yixuan, who was keeping a straight face across from him. Chen Yixuan glared at Lin Tian without responding. After swallowing the greens in his mouth, Lin Tian propped his chin with his hand and looked at Chen Yixuan sincerely, "Has anyone ever told you that you actually look quite adorable when you roll your eyes?" "What are you talking about!" Chen Yixuan glared at Lin Tian. "Beauty, even your glare has a unique charm!" Lin Tian beamed at Chen Yixuan, his face enraptured. Beaten by Lin Tian''s comment, Chen Yixuan no longer kept her stern face but merely glared at him again and scolded, "You little brat, watch your mouth." "Am I little? Where am I little?" saying this, Lin Tian humorously flexed his biceps, raising his eyebrows and winking at Chen Yixuan, "Is this little?" "Pfft~!" Stunned by Lin Tian''s comically amusing gesture, Chen Yixuan nearly spit out her juice. ... Thus, with Lin Tian purposely lightening the mood, Chen Yixuan finally relaxed a lot, and by the end of the meal, she no longer seemed angry with Lin Tian. After the meal, they rested for a while, then got up to leave the hotel. Just as Lin Tian stood up, his eyes suddenly lit up. His eyes gleaming, Lin Tian stared at a girl ahead. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not far in front of Lin Tian, a girl with long hair, dressed in a white suit and white trousers, was walking toward the back of the hotel counter. "Such a beautiful girl!" The moment Lin Tian saw the girl, his eyes lit up. This girl gave Lin Tian a very clean impression, just like the first ray of sunlight in the morning. Chen Yixuan, curious, followed Lin Tian''s gaze and took a glance at the girl, Chen Yixuan was also startled. Such an elegant girl. Although Chen Yixuan found the girl very beautiful, she was very displeased with Lin Tian''s behavior and kicked him, exclaiming, "Pervert, what are you looking at! Let''s go." "It''s not like I''m the only one looking," Lin Tian retorted with a pout, then followed Chen Yixuan outside. At the moment the girl appeared, many men in the hotel had turned their gazes towards her. "It''s normal for others to look, but you, you pervert, just stop polluting others'' view!" While walking out, Chen Yixuan disdainfully turned her head and glanced back at Lin Tian. Turning her head, Chen Yixuan was stunned. Lin Tian, who had just been behind her, was gone. Looking up, Chen Yixuan exploded in anger. Lin Tian had actually walked straight towards the girl. "What are you doing!" Chen Yixuan frowned and hurried over. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was browsing the information in his mind. Just then, a synthetic electronic voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission: Help Li Jing win the championship of the King of Cooking Contest. Reward: Two Superpower Points." Suddenly receiving the mission, Lin Tian was startled, but upon seeing the reward, he was delighted. Two Superpower Points were quite a generous reward. Continue your journey on empire Naturally, Lin Tian decided to complete the mission. After reviewing the mission in his mind, he walked straight towards the girl. At that time, the girl was at the counter talking to the hotel staff. Looking at her, it seemed she was one of the hotel staff, likely a manager. Lin Tian walked over leisurely and stopped at the counter, calling out, "Are you hiring chefs here?" Following the receipt of the mission, Lin Tian naturally thought of the recruitment sign he had seen when he first came in. "Yes, but we''re looking for high-level chefs¡­" The staff member at the counter looked skeptically at Lin Tian. Lin Tian looked too young, barely in his twenties. Such a person hardly met their requirements. Lin Tian''s words also caught Li Jing''s attention. After a glance at Lin Tian, Li Jing ignored him. In her view, Lin Tian was not the person she was looking for. At that moment, Lin Tian also looked at Li Jing and said with emphasis, "Am I not the person you''re looking for?" "May I ask where you have worked before, whether you have a chef''s certificate, where you graduated from, and how much work experience you have?" With no choice, the staff member had to ask. "I don''t have any of those, but I am the person you''re looking for," Lin Tian replied straightforwardly. He truly did not have any of such qualifications, and he couldn''t possibly forge fake diplomas. Li Jing, who had been giving instructions to a staff member, frowned upon hearing this and turned towards Lin Tian, her gaze fixed on him as she said, "Sir, you do not meet our requirements, thank you." "How will you know if you don''t try! I''m very talented!" "Please leave, we don''t need you," Li Jing spoke again. "Just try, give me a chance. If it doesn''t work, I''ll leave," Lin Tian insisted, speaking again. "Call security over," Li Jing, tired of dealing with Lin Tian and not even sparing him a glance, turned her head and instructed a staff member nearby. In her eyes, Lin Tian was clearly here to cause trouble! "Hey, what are you doing?" At this moment, Chen Yixuan also came over, frowning as she looked at Lin Tian. Lin Tian turned his head and glanced at Chen Yixuan, smiling, "They''re hiring chefs, and I think I''m quite skilled. I want to try!" "You can cook?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian skeptically. While they were talking, two uniformed security guards quickly approached from outside. "Mr. Li, what''s the matter?" The two security guards asked Li Jing respectfully as they approached. Li Jing glanced at Lin Tian and said blandly, "Are you leaving or not?" "Let me try," Lin Tian replied unflinchingly, not even glancing at the two security guards. "Escort this gentleman out!" Li Jing glanced at Lin Tian blandly, then turned her head and spoke to the two security guards. Immediately, the two security guards approached Lin Tian from both sides, each grabbing one of his hands, intending to drag him away. "What are you doing?" Chen Yixuan frowned at the scene. "Why bother!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, his hand gently shaking as he pulled free, then he wrapped his arms around each of the two security guards. Lin Tian''s grip was so strong that the two security guards'' faces turned ugly in an instant, struggling to break free but utterly unable to escape. Lin Tian looked at Li Jing with a beaming smile, "Give me a chance. If it''s not to your liking, I''ll leave immediately." Li Jing looked at Lin Tian, uncertain, then glanced at the two security guards being held effortlessly by Lin Tian. From the looks on the guards'' faces, they were clearly uncomfortable. Lin Tian''s show of strength clearly demonstrated that he was not simple and certainly not someone that the security guards could handle with force. "Really, just give me one chance," Lin Tian''s sincere tone came again. After glancing at the two security guards, Li Jing nodded, "Okay, if it doesn''t work out, please leave." "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded cheerfully and then let go of his hands. As soon as Lin Tian released them, the two security guards frantically shook their hands, took a deep breath, and then looked at Lin Tian as if he were a monster. "Let''s go, I can make stir-fried radishes taste like chicken!" Lin Tian said confidently with a slight smile. Carrots with a chicken flavor? Li Jing pursed her lips, thinking if it weren''t for Lin Tian''s display of terrifying strength and fear that he might cause trouble, she wouldn''t bother dealing with him. And carrots that taste like chicken? How could that be possible, Li Jing had never heard of anyone who could achieve that. This man must be out of his mind! Li Jing thought to herself. Yet, Lin Tian looked utterly confident. Chapter 87 I am Lin Tian Since Lin Tian had made a promise, Li Jing naturally let Lin Tian give it a try, which also gave her a good reason to refuse him later.Li Jing had decided that once Lin Tian was done cooking, she would kick him out. Li Jing did not believe Lin Tian could cook anything tasty; she just thought he was here to cause trouble. If Lin Tian continued to bother her after cooking, Li Jing was ready to call the police. She had even informed her subordinates about it. "Let''s go!" With a casual glance at Lin Tian, Li Jing led the way to the kitchen. Lin Tian followed with a smile, seeing Li Jing''s expression and knowing she did not believe in him. However, it didn''t matter. Soon, Lin Tian would make her believe. He was confident about it, especially after checking his superpower in his mind again. So, the group headed to the kitchen. Out of curiosity, Chen Yixuan also followed. She was dying to know. Lin Tian was going to cook, and he even dared to be so bold in someone else''s hotel? Was Lin Tian actually skilled or just there to fool around? Chen Yixuan mostly believed the latter; a young man, not even twenty, couldn''t possibly have good culinary skills, especially since it wasn''t in his family genes. Filled with various curiosities, Chen Yixuan walked over as well. Minutes later, Li Jing and Lin Tian arrived at the hotel kitchen. Inside, Li Jing stopped, turned around, and looked indifferently at Lin Tian, "Make it quick." The sudden arrival of Li Jing with a group caught everyone in the kitchen off guard, looking at Li Jing strangely. Seeing the reaction of the people inside, the staff members who came with Li Jing quickly began to explain in a low voice. Hearing the staff''s explanations, the chefs inside gave Lin Tian peculiar looks. From Lin Tian''s appearance, they did not think he was any master chef; after all, compared to Lin Tian, he was too young, looking just like a teenager. And Lin Tian claimed he could make stir-fried radish taste like chicken? How is that done? Anyway, they had never heard of such a thing. Could it involve some special ingredients? Unoptimistic? All chefs were skeptical of Lin Tian, many viewing the situation simply as a spectacle, eager to see Lin Tian embarrass himself. Realizing many chefs had come to watch, Li Jing glanced over and said loudly, "Go about your business, Mr. Lin, come here for a moment." "Ah, okay!" Mr. Lin was a man in his forties, the chef in charge of the hotel. "Mr. Lin, later you will evaluate this gentleman''s cooking," Li Jing said indifferently after glancing at Lin Tian. "Ah, alright!" Mr. Lin nodded repeatedly, then glanced at Lin Tian. "Begin then, need any help?" Li Jing asked indifferently, looking at Lin Tian again. After a glance, Lin Tian saw the red radishes in the basket and shook his head, "No need." "Then begin." Lin Tian didn''t waste words and headed straight for the stove. Reaching the basket, Lin Tian picked up three red radishes and peeled them. Then Lin Tian took a kitchen knife and began to prepare to shred them. Seeing Lin Tian start, everyone''s gaze turned to him. Even the chefs who were cooking snuck peeks at Lin Tian. Knife skills! A high-level chef certainly has good knife skills. If Lin Tian had bragged so much, surely if he was skilled, his knife skills would be good too. Even Mr. Lin looked towards Lin Tian. And the moment Lin Tian started, Mr. Lin shook his head subconsciously! Poor! Such poor knife skills! Not to mention a chef''s level, Lin Tian''s knife skills were not even as good as a regular housewife. Merely cutting radish strips, Lin Tian seemed clumsy, with strips both thick and thin, extremely uneven. Seeing this scene, Mr. Lin outright dismissed Lin Tian''s culinary skills. Seeing Lin Tian awkwardly cutting radish strips, Li Jing smirked, already sure that Lin Tian was just causing trouble. However, having promised Lin Tian, Li Jing did not halt him and just let him continue. But Li Jing no longer held any hopes for Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian struggle even with cutting carrots, the chefs watching covertly began to buzz with discussions. Lin Tian naturally heard their discussions, though he couldn''t say much. He just complained inwardly, "Damn, I''m cutting well enough, how can it be so bad!" Although Lin Tian''s carrot cuts were uneven, they were still okay compared to his peers. At least sometimes Lin Tian did cook at home. Ignoring those voices, Lin Tian finished cutting the radish and then prepared some green onions. Next, Lin Tian rinsed the pot and poured in some oil. Watching the oil slowly heat up, Lin Tian focused his attention inside his mind and opened the superpower menu. His gaze swept across, and Lin Tian''s eyes stopped directly on a superpower: Level 1 Cooking Skills. It required one Supernatural Point to exchange. The moment Lin Tian focused on it, the information about Cooking Skills superpower was instantly fed into his mind. After reading it again, Lin Tian immediately exchanged it. With a thought by Lin Tian, a warm flow flashed through his body, and he knew he had successfully exchanged his superpower. Seeing the oil was ready, Lin Tian put the shredded carrots in and started to stir-fry. As Lin Tian moved, wisps of invisible smoke-like energy flowed from the spatula in his hand into the pot, infusing into the carrots. Lin Tian stir-fried, and seeing the carrots were half-cooked, he added some salt and continued to stir-fry. Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, everyone secretly shook their heads. Damn, showing off such mediocre skills! It''s just a simple home-cooked dish, after all! But Lin Tian didn''t care and continued stir-frying, then he poured in some soy sauce, fried it for a while longer, removed it from the heat, and sprinkled some green onions on top. "Done!" Lin Tian said, smiling at Li Jing. Li Jing watched Lin Tian wordlessly and shook her head before turning to Lin and said, "Lin, please have a taste." "Alright, sure." Despite not holding much hope for Lin Tian''s cooking skills, Lin still grabbed a pair of chopsticks and picked up the plate. Everyone''s gaze shifted towards Lin. As he put the carrot in his mouth and chewed, Lin was instantly stunned. The casual expression on his face disappeared, and he incredulously chewed a few more times quickly. Then his eyes widened, he slowly lowered his head, and looked in disbelief at the plate of seemingly ordinary carrots. How could this be? This taste... Everyone was taken aback by Lin''s expression. Seeing Lin''s dazed expression, someone murmured, "Could it be that it''s too awful? Did it stun Lin?" Li Jing also looked at Lin curiously. After hesitating for a while and seeing that Lin didn''t speak, Li Jing had no choice but to ask, "Lin, how is it?" Lin didn''t respond to Li Jing but reached out with his chopsticks again and took another bite of the carrots. Lin chewed the carrots quickly, closing his eyes as if savoring something. And Lin''s expression seemed somewhat... enraptured? Enraptured? Thinking of that, everyone was stunned. How could it be possible? The ugly carrots Lin Tian cooked enraptured the master chef Lin? Despite doubts, Lin''s expression indeed looked enraptured. Everyone stared at Lin, dumbfounded. After a while, Li Jing couldn''t wait any longer and had to ask again, "Lin, how is it?" It seemed Li Jing''s words snapped Lin out of it. Lin opened his eyes, glanced at Li Jing, then at the smiling Lin Tian, and finally lowered his head to look at the plate of shredded carrots and sighed, "So delicious!" So delicious? Everyone was stunned, staring at him in disbelief. Had they heard wrong? This simple carrot dish is delicious? "What?" Li Jing said in astonishment. Confused, she stared at Lin, wondering if she had heard wrong. Lowering his head to look at the carrots again, Lin shook his head and sighed, "Delicious, too delicious, and I can even taste the chicken flavor!" Chicken flavor? At this remark, the room fell silent! Everyone remembered what Lin Tian had said earlier, that he wanted to stir-fry carrots to taste like chicken. Could it really be... But how could that be possible? "Really?" Li Jing looked at Lin, shocked. Even Chen Yixuan by the side was stunned? How could this be? After a moment, Li Jing grabbed a pair of chopsticks and took a bite herself. Li Jing placed the carrot in her mouth and chewed, instantly freezing, her eyes wide open in disbelief. Li Jing chewed a few more times quickly, and the flavor lingered in her mouth! Chicken flavor! She actually tasted stir-fried chicken. Beyond the chicken flavor, there was also the crisp and refreshing taste of the carrots! Delicious! Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Jing had never tasted such delicious carrots! No, this could no longer just be called carrots. Seeing Li Jing''s expression, an intensely curious Chen Yixuan couldn''t wait, and after a while, as Li Jing was still somewhat stunned, Chen Yixuan eagerly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of carrot. Upon tasting it, Chen Yixuan was also stunned. Chen Yixuan looked at the carrots on the plate with a face full of disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost. After a moment, Li Jing put down her chopsticks, took a deep breath, and walked over to Lin Tian, bowing apologetically, "I''m sorry, I didn''t recognize greatness before. Could we talk in my office?" "Of course," Lin Tian said with a slight smile. Lin Tian pulled the somewhat dazed Chen Yixuan, then followed Li Jing to her office. After Li Jing had left, a commotion erupted from the kitchen behind them. "Don''t fight over it, let me try, let me try!" "Damn, it really tastes like chicken, how is that possible!" A chorus of astonished voices followed. ** Half an hour later, Lin Tian and Chen Yixuan walked out of Binjiang Hotel. As they left the hotel, a look of disbelief still lingered on Chen Yixuan''s face. Reaching the parking lot, after getting into the car, Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian incredulously, "How could you stir-fry carrots and make them taste like chicken, and make them so delicious! It''s unbelievable!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows smugly, "Others might not be able to, but who am I? I''m Lin Tian, with me, anything is possible! Haha..." Enjoy new chapters from empire .............................. Chapter 88 Im Just That Awesome Seeing Lin Tian''s proud face, Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes, started the car, and said, "Make me a grand meal when you''re free!""I''m very expensive!" "Expensive my foot. I haven''t even settled accounts with you, and you''re talking about money..." "Tch..." They teased each other along the way, and half an hour later, Chen Yixuan dropped Lin Tian off at his doorstep. Then, the two said goodbye. In the following days, Lin Tian visited the Binjiang Hotel a few more times. He mainly cooked to convince those who didn''t believe in him. After showing off a few of his skills, Lin Tian had won over everyone in the hotel, just waiting for the Chef King competition three days later. This Chef King competition was hosted by the Wu''an City TV station. Initially, the Binjiang Hotel planned to have Lin, the head chef, lead, but now it was naturally Lin Tian. However, Lin Tian had made it clear to the hotel that he only wanted to participate in the show, and he would leave after helping the hotel win the Chef King championship. He wouldn''t work at the hotel. Although the hotel really wanted to keep Lin Tian, they had no choice but to agree. For Lin Tian, he was actually just looking to claim the reward from a task related to Li Jing. Two days passed, and there was only one day left until the day of the Chef King competition. That afternoon, Lin Tian checked his pockets and realized he had no cash left, so he decided to go to the bank''s ATM downstairs to withdraw some money. "What are you going to do?" Shi Qing, who was watching TV at home, saw her son getting ready to go out and asked. "Just taking a walk!" Lin Tian replied casually and then started putting on his shoes to go out. Shi Qing glanced at him and didn''t bother to respond. After Lin Tian''s college entrance exam, Shi Qing had been less strict with him. She believed Lin Tian was already an adult and could have his own freedom. Walking out of the residential complex, Lin Tian headed to the right. About two hundred meters from the residential complex, there was a CCB ATM. Upon arriving at the ATM, Lin Tian found that both machines were already lined up with people. "What day is it today, so many people!" Lin Tian muttered under his breath as he started to line up at the back. There were four or five people ahead of Lin Tian, and he looked around out of boredom. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Not far ahead of him, a girl with long, flowing hair stood quietly. The girl had long, smooth black hair, wore blue denim hot pants, and her long white legs were exposed. She was about one meter sixty tall with a very thin waist! Her back was beautiful! This was Lin Tian''s first impression. Of course, Lin Tian also knew some people looked like angels from behind but devils from the front. So, even though the girl''s back was beautiful, Lin Tian wasn''t sure she was actually pretty. But admiring the back wasn''t bad either. Lin Tian scrutinized the beautiful back view, suddenly feeling that waiting in line wasn''t so unbearable anymore. When the people in front of him had finished, Lin Tian stepped forward, continuing to queue behind the others. Time slowly passed, and the number of people in front of Lin Tian decreased, but the line with the girl hadn''t moved at all. Lin Tian was somewhat surprised and looked ahead of the girl. At the front of the girl''s line, there was a tall man, about one meter ninety, doing something at the counter but not moving for a long time. As the number of people in front of Lin Tian decreased once more, he took another step forward. Since Lin Tian moved forward and the girl''s line hadn''t, Lin Tian ended up in front of the girl, and he could now see her face. Lin Tian instinctively turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, she wasn''t devil-level. Although the girl wasn''t stunningly beautiful like a heavenly immortal, she was quite cute with her chubby, sweet face, especially a black mole at the corner of her mouth, which added a special flavor. After a quick glance at the girl, Lin Tian felt it impolite to keep staring and turned his head away. After a while, it was Lin Tian''s turn to withdraw money, and he took out five thousand in cash. After getting the cash, Lin Tian turned to leave and noticed the burly man still at the neighboring ATM. Lin Tian curiously gave a glance and immediately felt speechless. The burly man, having finished withdrawing money, was now using the ATM as a mirror to adjust his hairstyle. Pouting and shaking his head, Lin Tian didn''t bother with him and turned to leave. Lin Tian had just walked a few steps when suddenly an annoyed voice came from behind him, "Hey, what''s wrong with you? If you''re not withdrawing money, move aside. Can''t you see there''s a line of people waiting behind?" The voice was delicate and quite pleasant to hear. Curious, Lin Tian turned around and saw the girl, her face filled with anger, looking at the man in front of her. I can''t stand it anymore! Song Xiaohui couldn''t hold back any longer. It was bad enough that this man took so long to withdraw his money, but even after that, he didn''t leave. He was still dawdling in front of the machine, even using the ATM''s screen as a mirror. That was too much! Initially, she didn''t want to make a fuss, but this man lingered on without leaving, continuing to dawdle; she just couldn''t stand it anymore. Hearing the voice from behind him, the burly man turned around, leaning his body against the machine, looked Song Xiaohui up and down and said indifferently, "I''m just standing here. What are you gonna do about it?" "You¡­" Song Xiaohui glared at the burly man, at a loss for words. Curse him? She wasn''t good at cursing. Hit him? Not to mention she couldn''t fight, even if she could, facing this man who was over six feet tall, it wouldn''t be feasible. Giving Song Xiaohui a casual glance, the burly man''s mouth curved into a sneer, "If you keep me company tonight, I''ll let you go." "You¡­ scoundrel!" Song Xiaohui was furious! I''ve never seen such a person before! Everyone witnessed this conflict unfold, yet no one dared to interfere. The truth was, many were displeased with the burly man, but nobody dared to confront him. Why not? It was because of his intimidating physical stature. Considering the adversary was over six feet tall, confronting him might lead to a disadvantage! So, although internally siding with Song Xiaohui, no one spoke up to help. Shaking his head, Lin Tian decided not to cause trouble and turned to leave. But Lin Tian had just stepped forward when he stopped. A synthetic electronic voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission: Help Song Xiaohui teach Wu Binbin a lesson. Mission reward: One Superpower Point." Hearing the voice in his mind, Lin Tian paused, then slowly turned around. Well, looks like I can''t leave now! This mission definitely needed to be completed. To Lin Tian, this mission seemed quite simple; just a slight lesson to this burly man would earn him a Superpower Point. It was a typical low input, high reward situation! "What''s wrong? Not willing? Then piss off! Stop annoying me!" Wu Binbin examined Song Xiaohui from top to bottom, his face full of disdain. "You¡­" Song Xiaohui looked furiously at Wu Binbin, choked by anger! But Song Xiaohui felt powerless, hoping for someone to verbally support her, even just a bit. Yet, she found that everyone around only watched silently, and no one spoke up in her support. Mainly because Wu Binbin''s intimidating size and presence made others hesitant to get involved. "Sigh!" Taking a deep breath, despite feeling extremely aggrieved, Song Xiaohui decided to let it go. The situation was stronger than the person! "Hey, why are you like this!" Just as Song Xiaohui was about to leave, sulking, a voice suddenly erupted. The sudden sound made everyone pause; all gazes turned towards the source of the voice. They then saw a young boy around eighteen or nineteen years old. Wu Binbin glanced at Lin Tian in surprise, then his eyes turned cold, and he barked, "Get lost!" "You get lost, or should I? I suggest it''s better for you to get lost!" Lin Tian said lightly, looking at him. "Heh¡­" Wu Binbin laughed at Lin Tian''s response and stood up, walking towards him. Wu Binbin''s towering presence was intimidating; seeing him approaching, those in his path quickly stepped aside. Wu Binbin walked up to Lin Tian, bent down, and pointed his finger at Lin Tian''s forehead, pressing down hard. "Kid, you think you''re arrogant, huh? Think you''re tough, huh?" S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Being poked repeatedly on the forehead made Lin Tian frown. Lin Tian''s gaze turned icy, and with a swift movement, he grabbed Wu Binbin''s arm. Lin Tian turned around and executed a shoulder throw! Bang! Wu Binbin''s massive body slammed hard into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust! Lin Tian''s strength was enormous; Wu Binbin felt his internal organs shift out of place, and couldn''t get up for a while. Looking at Wu Binbin, who couldn''t recover his breath for a moment, Lin Tian sneered, squatted down beside him, slapped his face, and spoke slowly, "That''s how tough I am, what are you gonna do about it!" The scene was utterly silent. Everyone was just staring blankly at Lin Tian. Enjoy new stories from empire Chapter 89 Fierce!So fierce! Lin Tian, who was just 1.7 meters tall, had actually managed to easily throw Wu Binbin, who was 1.9 meters tall, over his shoulder. And his movements were so clean and efficient. Looking at Wu Binbin''s expression, it was obvious he hadn''t recovered from the shock yet. Fierce! Truly too fierce! Just now, everyone had thought Lin Tian was done for, but it turned out to be Lin Tian who subdued him. They had guessed the beginning but not the ending. And just as Lin Tian had thrown Wu Binbin to the ground, a synthetic electronic voice rang out in his mind: "Mission: Assist Song Xiaohui in teaching Wu Binbin a lesson has been completed. Reward: one Superpower Point." "All done," Lin Tian said, clapping his hands and standing up with a smile on his face. That mission was indeed simple. Looking down at Wu Binbin on the ground, he clearly hadn''t regained his composure yet and would need some time to get back up. Seeing this, Lin Tian turned around, smiled at the still somewhat dazed Song Xiaohui, and said, "I''m leaving." With that, without waiting for Song Xiaohui to react, Lin Tian turned and left. Watching Lin Tian''s departing figure, Song Xiaohui was momentarily stunned. Then, glancing at Wu Binbin struggling to get up, she hurriedly followed after him. Staying behind with Wu Binbin after being beaten was not a wise decision. "Hey, wait up!" Song Xiaohui called out to Lin Tian''s retreating figure. Hearing her voice, Lin Tian paused, turned around, and saw Song Xiaohui, wearing white sneakers, hurrying towards him. So, Lin Tian stopped and waited for a while. "Whew!" Out of breath, Song Xiaohui stood in front of Lin Tian: "You left quite quickly!" "Looks like you need more exercise!" Lin Tian said, smiling at the panting girl. After rolling her eyes at Lin Tian and catching her breath, Song Xiaohui expressed her gratitude, "Thank you for this time." "It''s nothing, just lifting a finger!" For Lin Tian, this really was as simple as lifting a finger, and there was even a Superpower Point reward. Why not do it? "No matter what, thank you." Song Xiaohui still expressed her gratitude. "It''s nothing," Lin Tian replied with a light smile. "Have you trained in martial arts?" Song Xiaohui curiously asked. That crisp and efficient shoulder throw had left a deep impression on her. It must be said, that move was indeed very domineering and cool! "Martial arts? A little," Lin Tian replied, laughing it off without further explanation. After chatting for a while, and with Song Xiaohui curious about Lin Tian, and Lin Tian having things to do, they both decided to sit down at a juice bar to talk for a while. An hour later, they parted ways. And as they left, they also exchanged phone numbers. Looking at the phone number in his hand, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, a resigned look on his face: "Ah, the troubles of being handsome are endless, beauties cry and beg for my contact!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, passersby who walked past him were speechless. Handsome, with that look? Ignoring the eye-rolling bystanders, Lin Tian called He Qianqian''s number, planning to deepen their bond. My troubles, how could you understand? Lin Tian thought self-admiringly. ** A day later, Lin Tian arrived at Binjiang Hotel at the agreed time and then took a car with the hotel staff to the competition venue. In addition to Binjiang Hotel, there were two other hotels participating in the Cooking King competition. In the morning, Lin Tian and his group reached the designated location. When Lin Tian and his colleagues arrived, people from the other two hotels had also come. Seeing Lin Tian and his group enter, many people turned their eyes towards them. Especially toward Lin Tian. Lin Tian scanned the people, but didn''t bother with them. At that moment, a middle-aged man in a chef''s uniform approached Lin Tianyi, one of Lin Tian''s colleagues, and said with a smile, "Lin, I heard that your Binjiang Hotel has brought a young chef? Could it be him?" As he spoke, he looked Lin Tian up and down with a smile, clearly showing disdain: "He doesn''t look like he''s even fully grown!" Feeling annoyed, Lin Tian gave him a glare and retorted unabashedly, "You''re so old you''re losing your hair, but you''re still loitering around!" "What did you say, you little brat?" The man was furious! "I said you''d better hurry home to nurse," Lin Tian said disdainfully, glancing at him before turning and walking away. "You..." The bald man was fuming with rage. He had intended to provoke Lin Tian just to see what he was made of, and now he was the one who was infuriated! This was just a small interlude. After a short rest, the organizers saw that everyone had arrived, and half an hour later, the show officially started recording. With the host''s command, the persons from the other two hotels busied themselves. But there was no movement from Lin Tian''s side. Upon hearing the host announce the start, Lin Tian did not begin preparing the meal. Instead, he found a chair and began to meditate. "Hey, it has started!" Seeing Lin Tian resting at this moment, Li Jing at his side said somewhat anxiously. Lin Tian shook his head slightly and ignored her. Closing his eyes, Lin Tian slowly adjusted his mood. This time, Lin Tian planned to bring out his strongest cooking skills, and all of this depended on his superpower. To perform at his best using his superpower, he had to be in the right state. This was like an ancient Taoist preparing for a ritual by bathing and changing clothes. Lin Tian was also adjusting his state, making sure his spirit, energy, and mind were at their peak. Seeing Lin Tian with closed eyes and cultivating his spirit, Li Jing was anxiously pacing to death on the side. How could she know what Lin Tian was up to? All she saw was Lin Tian staring blankly! The other two hotels, seeing no movement here, shook their heads, unable to understand. They thought the Binjiang Hotel had gone crazy to recruit such a young person. Li Jing paced anxiously back and forth, glancing at Lin Tian from time to time. Fortunately, Lin Tian quickly adjusted his mood. Five minutes later, he opened his eyes and slowly rose to walk toward the stove. Because he had previously instructed so, no one assisted Lin Tian with his cooking. Find adventures on empire Lin Tian didn''t need any assistants; he wanted to do everything himself to make sure the dish would achieve the best effect. Lin Tian slowly got up and went to the stove, where he found the seaweed that had been prepared earlier in a basket. The seaweed hadn''t even been unwrapped, having been bought directly from the supermarket. All the ingredients for the competition were provided by the organizers. Lin Tian''s hands unwrapped the seaweed at an unhurried pace, then he took a large handful and placed it in a basin, slowly washing it. Lin Tian moved slowly, carefully, very focused, as though he were washing something precious. "Is it necessary to be so slow when washing seaweed?" Li Jing muttered speechlessly at Lin Tian''s meticulous actions. What she couldn''t see, however, was the wisp-like energy being emitted from Lin Tian''s body as he washed with concentration. This energy was being slowly transferred from Lin Tian''s hands onto the seaweed he held. Lin Tian washed very carefully and meticulously. Since he aimed to produce the best dish, it was natural to start properly from the beginning. The first time Lin Tian used his superpower to fry a dish, he only processed the food with the spatula while cooking. But now, Lin Tian was processing the vegetables from the very beginning starting with washing. Invisible to others but clear to Lin Tian was the transformation of the seaweed under the nourishment of the wisp-like energy, becoming tougher and glossier, with its color also turning darker. Lin Tian''s motions were focused and slow. It took him a full ten minutes just to wash the seaweed. Then Lin Tian proceeded to wash the tomatoes in the same unhurried and serious manner. Afterward, Lin Tian started to cut the tomatoes. As Lin Tian slowly entered his zone, he reached a self-forgetting realm. What others couldn''t see was the wisp-like energy emanating from all over Lin Tian''s body. This energy was nourishing his ingredients. The competition required cooking three dishes. A soup, a dessert, and a stir-fry. The three dishes Lin Tian chose were extremely simple home cooking. The soup was tomato and egg soup; the dessert, chilled watermelon; the stir-fry, simply fried onions. These were so simple that nearly anyone who could cook knew how to make them¡ªno one would usually bring such dishes to a chef competition. But that''s exactly what Lin Tian did. One hour later, as a bell sounded, the host shouted, "Time''s up, please stop what you are doing." Hearing the host''s voice, everyone put down what they were doing. And at that moment, Lin Tian also took a deep breath, coming back to reality. It was done! All three dishes were complete! S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although very simple, they had taken Lin Tian a full hour to prepare. After finishing, Lin Tian also felt a wave of fatigue. He knew that it was the result of overusing his superpower. Despite the fatigue, Lin Tian looked at the three dishes before him with great satisfaction. Though the presentation was poor, not even as good-looking as his mother''s cooking. But Lin Tian believed that his dishes would give the judges an unforgettable experience. "Now, let''s have the hostesses carry the dishes prepared by the three hotels outside for the judges to taste." Following the host''s words, hostesses in cheongsams came over carrying trays. Each hostess''s tray contained a small plate, onto which the food for each judge had been portioned off. Of course, they couldn''t let each judge taste from a large pot of soup. The hostess came to Lin Tian''s side and was stunned by the three dishes in front of him. After a moment of surprise, one of the hostesses asked Lin Tian hesitantly, "Is this the dish you''re competing with?" "Yes," Lin Tian nodded as if it was a matter of course. After casting a peculiar glance at Lin Tian, they still proceeded to divide his dishes into eighteen portions using small plates. There were a total of eighteen judges this time. At that moment, the bald man Lin Tian had previously encountered came over. Seeing the dishes on Lin Tian''s table, he burst into laughter, "Kid, are these the dishes you made? Are you sure you''re not here to crack jokes?" Others also noticed Lin Tian''s dishes, leading to a burst of whispered speculation. Lin Tian glanced indifferently at the bald man, choosing not to respond. Unperturbed by Lin Tian''s lack of reaction, the bald man continued, "Tell me, kid, do you even know how to cook? Or did you mistake salt for sugar?" Lin Tian looked at him blandly, lips briefly touching before he ordered, "Shut your beak." Having said that, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered with him anymore and turned to leave. He had to prepare to face the judges'' comments and scoring shortly. Chapter 90 Extraordinary When Lin Tian arrived at the front desk, the host was ready and had called the head chefs from the other two hotels to the front desk as well.Seeing that everything was prepared, the host picked up the microphone and loudly announced, "The tasting round of the Wu''an City Chef King Competition is now starting. Please deliver the soup from contestant number one to the judges." At this point, the host''s expression became somewhat strange. Contestant number one was none other than Lin Tian. And of course, he had seen what Lin Tian had made. At first, he thought Lin Tian had made a mistake, but after Lin Tian confirmed it several times, he finally reluctantly accepted that this was indeed the dish Lin Tian had prepared for the competition. There was no helping it, mainly because the three dishes Lin Tian made were¡­ simply not presentable at all! Not to mention their simplicity, they were also not aesthetically pleasing! And when the hostess served Lin Tian''s soup to the judges seated below, the judges immediately erupted into commotion. "What is this? Tomato and seaweed soup?" "What''s going on here?" Murmurs of discussion buzzed below. It wasn''t that such a dish couldn''t be made, but tomato and seaweed soup was just too simple¡ªalmost anyone who had just learned to cook could make it. And to think that such a simple soup was brought to a competition, it was simply unbelievable. All comments were buzzing with disbelief and incredulity. Before even starting to eat, they had already given Lin Tian''s dish a poor rating in their hearts. There was no helping it, seeing that it was seaweed soup, their impression really couldn''t be worse. As for the reaction of the judges below, Lin Tian was well-prepared mentally. He wasn''t planning to say anything at first, but after some thought, Lin Tian decided to speak up. After telling the host, Lin Tian took over the microphone and coughed. Following Lin Tian''s cough, the murmurs below gradually died down. They wanted to see what Lin Tian, the head chef, had to say. "Cough!" Clearing his throat, Lin Tian''s gaze swept over the judges, he began to speak slowly, "I know everyone has many opinions about the dish I''ve made, feeling it''s too simple. It should not be presented on such a stage. Many of you must be thinking, what new trick can tomato and seaweed soup have? Isn''t it just the usual? No! I''m here to tell you now, the seaweed soup I''ve made is definitely one you''ve never tasted before! It will exceed your imagination! This will be a meal you''ll never forget!" Lin Tian exuded confidence! Silence! The scene fell into complete silence! After a moment of quiet, the venue became noisy again. "Isn''t that a bit too arrogant? Beyond imagination? Unforgettable forever? Hah¡­" Scoffs of disdain filled the air. Many people thought Lin Tian was bragging. A mere seaweed soup could reach the sky? The host was stunned by Lin Tian''s tone as well, but despite feeling that Lin Tian was being overconfident, the host nevertheless said, "Haha, it seems our contestant number one is very confident. Indeed, the youth have the drive! Alright, now I ask the judges to taste the seaweed soup brought by contestant number one!" Following the host''s words, the judges all started to pick up their spoons to taste. They took a sip with apparent disdain. But quickly, the disdain on their faces vanished. All of them were... stunned. Huh? The host looked at the judges with a puzzled expression. What were those faces? Why all of a sudden? Had they come across something? While the host was still puzzled, those dazed judges snapped out of it and hastily scooped another spoonful of the soup. Some even went as far as pouring all the soup from their bowls directly into their mouths! This¡­ The host above watched this scene in disbelief. Enraptured! Still enraptured! All the judges below wore faces of ecstasy! They seemed to be experiencing a legendary delicacy! What was happening? Not only the host, but other people were also confounded by the judges'' reactions. That bald man looked puzzled as well, seeing the judges'' enraptured expressions, he wondered, could seaweed soup be that delicious? Immersed! Enraptured! Li Wen closed her eyes, savoring the taste of the sea. Li Wen was one of the eighteen judges this time. Initially, upon seeing the seaweed soup, Li Wen was also rather dismissive. But after tasting the first spoonful, Li Wen was shocked. What was this sensation? The sea! As the soup touched her tongue, Li Wen actually smelled the sea. It was as if she could smell the damp sea breeze, hear the sound of the waves crashing, and see the fish swimming freely in the blue sea. Discover exclusive tales on empire In that instant, she almost felt as if she had come to the seaside? It was an unbelievable sensation! An indescribable feeling! Extraordinary! Deeply immersed in that sensation, Li Wen gradually came to her senses, and only then did she realize where she was. "Good!" Li Wen exclaimed, her beautiful eyes still flickering with shock. "Good!" "Good!" "It''s so incredible! I can actually smell the scent of the sea!" "It seems I can even hear the sound of seagulls by my ear?" "Incredible! Absolutely incredible!" "Magical, it''s just magical!" Below, a chorus of admiration rose, filled with astonishment! "Uh..." The host was taken aback by the noise of admiration, swallowing and then looking somewhat at a loss. Could the soup really taste that good? To drink soup and smell the sea? And to hear the call of seagulls? Could it be that exaggerated? Not just the host, but others who hadn''t tasted the soup were also staring blankly, full of doubt. Only Lin Tian was smiling as he watched. He knew he had succeeded. Taking a deep breath, though still somewhat shaken, the host continued his duties, announcing loudly according to the agenda, "It seems that everyone can''t stop praising Contestant Number One''s soup, showing that Contestant Number One truly has some skills, indeed. Well, now that we''ve all tasted the soup made by Contestant Number One, let''s please welcome the dish from Contestant Number Two." With the host''s words, the usher began to serve the soup made by Contestant Number Two. Contestant Number Two''s soup was chicken broth. The moment the chicken broth was served, a fragrant aroma filled the air. The soup was golden yellow in color, much more appetizing in appearance than Lin Tian''s seaweed soup. However, despite this, the judges did not expect much, tasting it expressionlessly before urging the next to hurry up. The third contestant''s soup was lotus seed soup. Like the second contestant, the judges just went through the motions before starting to urge for the dish from Contestant Number One. "Bring up Contestant Number One''s dish quickly." "Yes, hurry up!" Ever since they had tasted the seaweed soup, they had immense anticipation for the next two dishes Lin Tian would present. The seaweed soup had surprised them, so what about the next two dishes? Under the judges'' prompting, the usher quickly brought forth Lin Tian''s stir-fried onions. Like the seaweed soup, the stir-fried onions wasn''t visually appealing either. However, the judges didn''t care, and some of them even started to taste it without waiting for the host to announce the start, grabbing chopsticks. Stretching out the chopsticks to pick some up, they chewed it as they put it into their mouths. Li Wen was stunned once again. Li Wen slowly closed her eyes, and after a long moment, a tear slowly slid down her cheek. A hint of sadness flashed across her face... Not only Li Wen, but most of the judges'' tears also involuntarily began to fall. Seeing the tearful judges below, the host was dumbfounded. Damn it! Could it really be that exaggerated, eating something and ending up in tears? Not just the host, even Lin Tian was a bit surprised onstage. He knew he had cooked a good dish, and that the stir-fried onions could evoke the softest memories in people''s hearts, but he never expected it to be so powerful. To actually make people cry while eating? That was just too exaggerated! Such scenes were something he had only seen in TV dramas, and now they were happening in reality? Lin Tian stood there, stunned, somewhat astonished by his own superpower. Onstage, Li Jing was also staring blankly before turning to gaze at Lin Tian in astonishment, as if looking at a monster. To make people cry over a single dish, this... Perhaps Lin Tian''s stir-fried onions had stirred up deep memories for many people; it took the judges a long time to compose themselves and return to normal. However, for the dishes of the other two contestants, the judges were basically perfunctory. Some were eagerly awaiting Lin Tian''s next dish. Soon after, Lin Tian''s final dish, chilled watermelon, was presented. This time, as soon as the usher brought it forward, the judges didn''t wait for the host to start, and everyone eagerly began to eat. And the chilled watermelon also provided them with an extraordinary experience. In the end, Lin Tian predictably claimed the championship of this Cooking King Competition. At the moment the synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind, Lin Tian found an opportunity to leave. Those people were too enthusiastic, Lin Tian simply couldn''t stand it! "Whew!" Stepping outside, Lin Tian drew a long breath, sighing, "If I had known I was this strong at full power, I wouldn''t have been so serious from the start." Lin Tian hadn''t expected that the dishes he made with his full culinary superpower would turn out to be so strong. Taking another deep breath, Lin Tian shook his head. Now that he had completed his task, he also planned not to bother with these people anymore. He found a direction, hailed a cab, and went home. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 91 Divination After getting into the car and telling the driver the destination, Lin Tian leaned back in the seat and gently closed his eyes.It seemed as if Lin Tian was resting, but in fact, he had concentrated his spiritual power in his mind. As he finally focused his attention on the Sea of Consciousness, an electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Task: Help Li Jing win the King of Cooking Championship has been completed. Reward: two Superpower Points." As the synthesized voice ended, Lin Tian felt two golden Superpower Points appearing in his Sea of Consciousness. Lin Tian''s gaze swept over the Superpower Points drifting in the Sea of Consciousness. "One, two, three... six! There are six Superpower Points in total!" Watching the Superpower Points floating around in the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian felt a sense of satisfaction. "Soon, I will be able to gather ten Superpower Points. Then I can create a superpower of my own," Lin Tian thought to himself. After pondering for a while, Lin Tian''s consciousness exited the Sea of Consciousness, and he opened his eyes. After opening his eyes, Lin Tian looked out the window and saw that there was still some distance to his home. Slightly bored, Lin Tian took his phone out of his pocket and began scrolling through novels. Just as he was getting engrossed, Lin Tian suddenly felt the car stop. Lin Tian looked up somewhat startled and glanced out the window with a confused look, "Are we there already?" Upon looking, Lin Tian realized they hadn''t arrived yet. Then why had the car stopped? Lin Tian looked questioningly at the driver while his gaze moved toward the front windshield. "We''re stuck ahead!" explained the driver at that moment. "What happened?" Lin Tian also saw a crowd on the road ahead and asked, puzzled. "I don''t know!" The driver shook his head bewildered, thought for a second, then opened the car door to go out and check what was happening. After a moment, Lin Tian also got out. The driver and Lin Tian walked towards the crowd. Reaching the front of the crowd, the driver grabbed a person and asked, "Brother, what''s going on?" "I''m not sure. It seems like someone''s dog went mad up front," the grabbed person replied, uncertain himself. "The dog went mad?" The driver repeated confusedly, then moved forward. "Woof, woof!" Before they got closer, Lin Tian heard a series of barks. "Ah! Run! It''s biting people!" The previously calm crowd suddenly erupted with screams. Once the screams began, the crowd instantly became chaotic, scattering wildly like ants in a disturbed nest. "Ah!" "Woof!" Screams and barks filled the area up ahead. The sudden screams shocked the driver too, who abruptly stopped moving forwards, getting ready to run at any moment. As the crowd scattered fiercely, the dense crowd ahead thinned, allowing Lin Tian to see what was happening. "Woof! Woof!" Lin Tian saw a black Doberman, with its red eyes, ferociously biting at a young man''s lower leg. "Yangyang! Stop!" a little girl urgently shouted at that moment. She was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. Hearing the girl''s scream, the fierce Doberman paused, its blood-red eyes flashing with a hint of hesitation! But after pausing momentarily, the Doberman still bit down. "Ah!" A scream followed as the black Doberman still clamped onto the young man''s lower leg. The young man fell down screaming, blood flowing profusely! Shock! The dog had actually bitten someone! Everybody was startled and frantically tried to escape! "Ah! It hurts!" The bitten young man cried out in pain as he fell to the ground, his face contorted with agony. "Woo~!" The black Doberman whimpered, its jaws tightly clenching his lower leg and refusing to let go. "Let go! Let go of me! Let go!" The young girl, about eleven or twelve, ran over and anxiously pushed on the Doberman''s black head. "Woo woo~!" The black Doberman, staring with its blood-red eyes and whimpering, glared coldly at the girl. But the girl was not afraid and kept hitting the Doberman''s head, crying and shouting, "Yangyang, let go, please let go." "Woo woo..." The Doberman whimpered, and although it seemed abnormal, it finally released its bite. "Ah!" As soon as the Doberman let go, the young man screamed wildly, and his bitten lower leg bled profusely. This scene was terrifying to witness. "Woo woo!" The black Doberman whimpered, staring left and right at the crowd with blood-red eyes. "Woof!" Suddenly, the black Doberman charged again towards the crowd. "Yangyang, don''t!" The girl''s anxious voice came from behind. Seeing the mad dog charging again, the crowd erupted once more in screams. Everyone frantically ran to escape and hide. However, the direction the Doberman was pouncing was where Lin Tian stood. Seeing the mad dog approaching, the driver next to Lin Tian had already frantically fled. Not just him, seeing the direction the dog was coming from, everyone around Lin Tian quickly scattered. In an instant, there was no one left around Lin Tian. Lin Tian calmly stood in his place. Seeing Lin Tian calmly standing still, everyone thought he had gone mad. They thought Lin Tian was paralyzed with fear! "Whoo~!" The black Doberman growled softly, sprung into action, and pounced toward Lin Tian in an instant. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, shouted loudly, and threw a punch with full force! Whoosh! Lin Tian''s fist created a gust of wind! Bang! "Oww~!" Lin Tian''s fierce punch landed squarely on the Doberman''s nose, and it yelped, collapsing onto the ground. Unexpected! Everyone was very surprised! They watched Lin Tian in disbelief, not expecting him to knock down the dog with a single punch. "Yangyang!" Seeing the black Doberman on the ground, the little girl screamed, then quickly ran over and crouched down to check on it. "Whimper~!" Despite being punched by Lin Tian, even bleeding from the nose, the Doberman was not cowed but seemed even more ferocious, struggling to get up while whimpering. It glared at Lin Tian with blood-red eyes, filled with hatred. Lin Tian frowned, thinking about whether to finish off the dog with another punch, when a synthesized electronic voice rang out: "Mission: Help Liu Ruoyu heal the Doberman. Reward: Two Supernatural Points." Mission! A mission had actually appeared? Lin Tian was taken aback. "Whoo~!" While Lin Tian was stunned, the Doberman had already struggled to its feet and ferociously pounced toward him again. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. From the direction of the attack, it was clear the dog was targeting Lin Tian''s neck! Lin Tian''s gaze turned cold, and he scoffed, then kicked out! Bang! Lin Tian''s kick landed heavily on the Doberman''s waist. "Oww~!" With a scream, the Doberman was kicked away by Lin Tian''s powerful blow. Looking at the downed Doberman, Lin Tian frowned. If it weren''t for thinking about how to complete the mission, that kick would have been lethal. In Lin Tian''s view, the dog was already mad, and keeping it was futile. But now... Thinking of the mission, Lin Tian suddenly didn''t know what to do. Should he capture it and take it to a veterinarian? As Lin Tian pondered, the black Doberman struggled to stand up again and then ran away swiftly. It ran away! It had actually just run off! "Yangyang!" Seeing the black Doberman quickly departing, the little girl by his side called out urgently. She wanted to chase after it, but the dog was too fast; she couldn''t catch up and had to stop. Despite being kicked by Lin Tian, the dog was hurt, but its speed was still very quick, vanishing in the blink of an eye. Seeing the dog running away, the onlookers didn''t dare to stop it. Watching the Doberman disappear quickly, Lin Tian wasn''t in a hurry to chase. With divination at his disposal, he could find it anytime. What was important now was figuring out how to heal it. Thinking it over, Lin Tian turned his gaze to the anxious-looking little girl beside him. According to the voice of the system, this girl must be Liu Ruoyu. Lin Tian glanced at the girl, indeed very pretty, like a porcelain doll. No wonder the system acknowledged she could issue a mission. Thinking it over, Lin Tian slowed his pace and said to Liu Ruoyu: "Is this your dog?" "Yes!" Liu Ruoyu nodded heavily, her little face filled with anxiety and moist eyes, clearly having cried a moment ago. "Don''t worry, why does your dog bite people?" Lin Tian asked gently. "I, I don''t know..." Liu Ruoyu''s eyes held a trace of confusion, she puzzledly said: "I don''t know what happened today, its eyes just turned red, and it kept trying to bite people, couldn''t even be called off!" Experience tales with empire Pausing, as if remembering something, Liu Ruoyu earnestly said: "It used to be so well-behaved, doing whatever it was told." Having said that, worried Lin Tian might not believe her, she looked up, serious again, and repeated: "Really, it used to be so well-behaved!" "Hmm, I believe you!" Lin Tian nodded with a smile. Then Lin Tian frowned slightly, realizing he couldn''t get any clues from this little girl. It seemed the best way now was to catch the dog and take it to a veterinarian to see. See if the vet could find any problems. "Ambulance! Call an ambulance now! Damn it!" This was the swear from a young man next to Lin Tian. This young man was the one who had been bitten. Hearing the cursing, Lin Tian frowned and finally took out his phone to make a call. "What happened to Ruoyu?" As Lin Tian finished the call, a middle-aged couple hurried over. "Mom, Yangyang went crazy and bit someone!" Liu Ruoyu looked at her mother, her face full of grievance. "Ah?" Hearing Liu Ruoyu''s words, the middle-aged couple were shocked. Soon an ambulance arrived, and the injured person was carried into the ambulance. Meanwhile, Liu Ruoyu''s parents also went over, as it was their dog after all. Liu Ruoyu went along with them. As Liu Ruoyu was leaving, seeing the distress and sadness on her face, Lin Tian, feeling a bit sympathetic, specifically told her he would help her. He would make sure the dog recovered. After the ambulance left, the crowd of onlookers slowly dispersed. Then Lin Tian also found a secluded corner, crouched down, and took three coins out of his pocket to toss them. Whirr~! The three silver coins spun quickly on the ground! Divination activated! Chapter 92 Uniforms Buzzing~~!Three silver coins spun rapidly on the ground, like spinning tops! Lin Tian squatted on the ground, staring intently. Buzz! The three coins gradually came to a stop! One of them even stood upright on the ground. The moment the three coins stopped, a surge of information abruptly entered Lin Tian''s mind. Lin Tian nodded slightly, and as he was about to pick up the three coins from the ground, a curious voice suddenly rang in his ear. "What are you doing?" Wang Lan asked with a curious face, leaning over slightly. Lin Tian looked up to find a girl in her twenties. Because she was leaning over, and the clothes she was wearing were rather loose, he took a quick glance, afraid of being noticed, then Lin Tian looked away and looked up at her, "I''m divining." "Divining?" Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian in astonishment, pointing to the three silver coins in Lin Tian''s hand, "With these?" "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded as if it were only natural. Wang Lan, who had not noticed Lin Tian''s gaze, continued to look at him curiously, "Then what did you divine? Can you do it for me?" "What do you want to divine?" "Then divine my name!" Wang Lan said, smiling at Lin Tian. She, unaware of Lin Tian''s lecherous gaze, was still bending over. Wang Lan smiled at Lin Tian, clearly not believing in Lin Tian''s divination skills. Divination with coins? Don''t make me laugh! "Sure!" Lin Tian didn''t refuse at all and tossed the coins in his hand! Buzzing~! The three coins began to spin rapidly on the ground again. "Nice move!" Wang Lan exclaimed in surprise as she squatted down to watch the spinning coins. After a brief moment of disappointment, Lin Tian looked back towards the spinning coins. After waiting a while, the coins stopped. "How about it? Did you figure something out?" Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian with a grin, as if anticipating a show. She did not believe Lin Tian at all. Lin Tian smiled slightly, showing no signs of nervousness; the moment the coins stopped, a name had flashed through his mind. Looking at Wang Lan, then at her expression as if anticipating a show, Lin Tian smiled slightly, "Your surname is Wang, right?" "Ah?" Wang Lan was startled and a little surprised. How did he know? Was it just a guess? Noticing the surprise on Wang Lan''s face, Lin Tian smiled again and said, "Your surname is Wang, and you have a single name, Lan!" "How do you know that?" Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian with a stunned expression. "I divined it!" Lin Tian looked at her with a smile, a twinkle of amusement in his eyes. "How is that possible? You must have guessed or heard it somewhere!" Wang Lan didn''t believe Lin Tian''s words at all, could one really divine such things with coins? Impossible! Wang Lan firmly disbelieved! Noting Wang Lan''s expression, Lin Tian said with a smile, "I also know that it was your grandfather who named you, and before he chose this name, your father had picked another name, Wang Lan, as in the orchid. Later your grandfather changed it to Lan with the ''mountain'' radical!" "Ah!" Wang Lan stood there dumbfounded, with a look as if she had seen a ghost on her face. This, this... Many of her friends didn''t know the story behind her name, how could he? Could it really be divined? After a moment of stunned silence, Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian with shock, "You, you really divined it?" "Of course," Lin Tian said with a smile, "I''ve always said I know divination, it''s just that you didn''t believe it." "Really, for real?" Wang Lan still seemed disbelieving. "Don''t believe it? Then let me divine something private about you," Lin Tian said, sizing up Wang Lan with a slightly sinister smile on his face. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then Lin Tian picked up the three coins from the ground and tossed them in his hand! Whoosh whoosh~! The coins began to spin rapidly on the ground! At this point, Wang Lan had lost all desire to spectate, her face tensing with nerves. Buzzing~! After a while, the coins stopped spinning, and at the same time, a piece of information entered Lin Tian''s mind. "So what else did you divine about me?" Wang Lan stared at Lin Tian, her face tense. Lin Tian looked somewhat peculiar as he sized up Wang Lan and said with a smile, "You would not have guessed!" "Guessed what!" Wang Lan frowned. "Uh..." Lin Tian hesitated for a moment but spoke up anyway, "Didn''t I say I would divine something private about you?" "Yes, and?" "You!" Wang Lan''s face turned crimson in a flash. She glared fiercely at Lin Tian, stood up quickly, and spat out, "Pervert!" Saying this, Wang Lan, her face red, got up quickly and hurried away. Lin Tian shook his head as he stood up. To Lin Tian, this was just a minor episode. After teasing the beautiful woman, he got up to go look for the Doberman. He had only walked a few steps when he suddenly heard a set of rapid footsteps behind him. It seemed someone was running toward him. Lin Tian was puzzled, then turned to look behind him. As he turned, Lin Tian saw Wang Lan running towards him quickly. "Huff!" Panting, Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian steadily, "Can you do me a favor?" "What?" Lin Tian glanced at her, still puzzled. At this moment, the blush on Wang Lan''s face hadn''t faded, making her look quite seductive. "I, I would like to ask for your help to figure out where my nephew is? My nephew was kidnapped and sold a month ago." "Ah?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, and as he was about to ask what it was, suddenly a synthetic electronic voice sounded: "Mission: Personally rescue Wang Lan''s nephew. Mission reward: A Supernatural Point." Hearing the synthetic electronic voice in his head, Lin Tian froze. Mission! Another mission had come? Today, was it possible that two missions had come in just one hour? "What do you think? Can you do it?" Seeing Lin Tian silent for so long, Wang Lan asked anxiously. "Ah?" Lin Tian was startled again, snapped back to reality, and then said, "I can, but I''m currently busy with something and it might take a few days." "Really, thank you so much!" Wang Lan''s face flashed with joy upon hearing Lin Tian agree, but as soon as Lin Tian mentioned it would take a few days, Wang Lan stunned and asked incredulously, "Can''t you do it now? Why does it have to be a few days later?" "Um, I just calculated a bit, and this matter will help increase my merit. I must personally rescue your nephew," Lin Tian casually made up a reason to fool her. "Ah?" Wang Lan stared at Lin Tian blankly. She couldn''t quite figure out whether Lin Tian was telling the truth or not. It was mainly because the skill Lin Tian had just revealed had shocked her. She subconsciously classified Lin Tian as a person with extraordinary abilities. Glancing at the baffled Wang Lan, Lin Tian pulled out his cellphone and said, "How about this, give me your phone number, and I''ll contact you when I''m done with my busyness." "Ah, oh okay!" Immediately after, Wang Lan started to give her number to Lin Tian. The skill Lin Tian had revealed had already made her completely trust him. Entering Wang Lan''s phone number on his phone, Lin Tian called her number, and after Wang Lan''s phone rang, Lin Tian hung up, then noticed an empty taxi just coming by and waved to stop it. Seeing the taxi stop, Lin Tian turned and said to Wang Lan, "I need to take care of something now, and once I''m finished I''ll find you. We''ll keep in touch by phone." After saying that, not waiting for Wang Lan to react, Lin Tian got into the taxi. Watching the taxi pull away, Wang Lan stood there dumbfounded, the speed was too surprising. She wasn''t even given a chance to speak. However, Lin Tian''s attitude made Wang Lan even more certain that he was capable. If he was a scammer, why would he act this way? Looking down at the phone number in her hand, a flicker of excitement passed through Wang Lan''s eyes... Lin Tian, of course, was not a scammer. After getting into the car, Lin Tian instructed the driver to start driving based on his intuition. He did not have time to deal with Wang Lan''s mission now; his first priority was to complete Liu Ruoyu''s mission. Wang Lan''s mission would have to wait. Turning left and right, after about ten minutes, Lin Tian told the driver to stop below a building scheduled for demolition. After getting out, Lin Tian scanned the demolition building. This used to be the old district, and all the houses in front were slated for demolition. He didn''t know whether the construction workers from the building ahead were resting or there was some other reason, but this area of buildings had been half demolished without finishing the job. Looking up, Lin Tian could see some stones hanging from the steel rebar, which was very dangerous. After scanning the area, Lin Tian crossed through the barrier tape and walked in. Lin Tian had a feeling that the dog was inside. Walking slowly forward, Lin Tian followed his intuition towards a dilapidated second floor. Thump thump... Lin Tian climbed up step by step. Stay tuned for updates on empire "Woof!" As Lin Tian appeared, a roaring bark resonated. Lin Tian glanced over, and sure enough, it was the black Doberman. But the moment the Doberman saw Lin Tian and was about to pounce to bite, its steps halted, and instead of moving forward, it took a step back. Fear! Lin Tian actually saw fear in the eyes of the dog. "What an intelligent dog!" Lin Tian exclaimed. Lin Tian once saw a ranking of dog intelligence on the internet, and Dobermans were ranked among the top few breeds. He forgot whether it was fifth or sixth. Feeling that the dog seemed quite wise, Lin Tian did not immediately resort to force but looked at it and said, "I don''t know if you can understand me, but if you can, come with me. I''ll find a doctor to take a look at you." Watching Lin Tian, the Doberman''s eyes flashed with a touch of confusion, even showing a moment of hesitation. However, that hesitation quickly dissipated, and it stared back at Lin Tian with its blood-red eyes, even growling at Lin Tian and baring its fangs. Clearly threatening Lin Tian. Seeing the exposed fangs of the Doberman, Lin Tian chuckled and said, "You don''t agree? Then I''ll have to do this the hard way!" With that, Lin Tian slowly stepped forward. "Whine~!" The Doberman whined, slightly lowering its body, its white fangs showing. Its blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Tian. Threat! Warning! Lin Tian clearly saw this meaning in its eyes. But Lin Tian was undeterred, his feet not pausing for a moment, continuing to approach the dog step by step. "Whine~!" The Doberman continued to whine, its body slowly backing away. Lin Tian''s expression remained unchanged, continuing to move forward. As the Doberman slowly backed away, it took a few steps before its pupils contracted, and with a powerful push from its limbs¡ª Whoosh! It moved as swiftly as a freed rabbit! The lunge was incredibly fast! Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and threw a direct punch! "Ow!" The Doberman let out a fierce cry, wildly opening its mouth, and lunged straight for Lin Tian''s fist. Lin Tian snorted coldly, shook his hand, and transformed his fist into a palm, slapping it straight out! Slap! Lin Tian''s palm directly turned the Doberman''s head to one side! Lin Tian swung his hand! Bang! Lin Tian''s palm landed squarely on the back of the Doberman''s head. "Whimper!" The Doberman instantly fell to the ground wailing. At the same time, it struggled to get up. With a scan of his eyes, Lin Tian spotted some nylon rope in the corner of the room, so he walked over and picked it up. Holding the nylon rope, Lin Tian crouched down and said to the dog, "Since you refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit, don''t blame me for being rude!" With that, Lin Tian picked up the rope and bound its limbs. "Whimper!" Despite the Doberman''s frantic struggles, it was no use against Lin Tian''s strength. At the same time, Lin Tian also noticed that the dog''s physical condition was very good. If an ordinary person were treated like this by him, they would certainly not have the strength to move by now. Yet this dog seemed lively and energetic after just a short rest! A few minutes later, looking at the Doberman whose limbs were now completely bound, Lin Tian clapped his hands and said, "Alright, now let''s take you to the vet." Chapter 93 Surprise After tying up the dog, Lin Tian carried the completely immobile dog outside.Once on the street, Lin Tian hailed a taxi and then asked the driver to take him to the best veterinary clinic in the city. An hour later, Lin Tian exited the veterinary clinic, carrying a large dog cage with a Doberman barking wildly inside. "What are you barking at!" Lin Tian glared at it, speaking with some impatience. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s scolding, the Doberman''s barking instantly quieted down. After glaring at the dog, Lin Tian shook his head, his expression somewhat helpless, and hailed another taxi to continue to the next veterinary clinic. In this seemingly upscale veterinary clinic, Lin Tian found nothing. Because the veterinarians simply couldn''t pinpoint the dog''s problem. The examinations all seemed normal, but the dog was just aggressive, very ferocious. Reluctantly, Lin Tian could only try other clinics to see if there was any hope. Half an hour later, Lin Tian came out of another veterinary clinic with a face full of helplessness, still carrying the dog cage. Couldn''t find the cause! Here, too, couldn''t find the cause! Out of options, Lin Tian could only go elsewhere to look. Within a few hours, Lin Tian had visited five or six veterinary clinics to get the dog examined, even skipping his lunch because of this. It was exhausting, but he gained nothing. None of the clinics could determine why the dog was behaving this way. After so many visits to different clinics, Lin Tian was feeling rather despondent. Lin Tian sat down in front of a lawn, looking tired and muttering to himself, "If we can''t find the cause, what are we supposed to do?" Lin Tian''s brow furrowed deeply, a look of confusion on his face, "If we can''t find the cause, how am I supposed to treat the dog?" He looked skeptical and dissatisfied. As he pondered, a lightbulb went off in Lin Tian''s mind, and he hesitantly said, "''Could it be...''" Since none of the veterinarians could find the issue with the dog, it probably wasn''t something normal remedies could fix. In that case... A spark of inspiration flashed in Lin Tian''s mind. He thought of something! Level Zero Healing Water! Lin Tian thought of the Level Zero Healing Water that had helped him numerous times before. Although the Healing Water was only Level Zero, it had already proven its efficacy multiple times. "Should I really use Healing Water? That''s a whole Superpower Point!" Exchanging a Superpower Point for Level Zero Healing Water was something Lin Tian was really reluctant to part with. Most importantly, if the Healing Water didn''t work, it would mean wasting a Superpower Point. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian still couldn''t make up his mind. He then took the dog to yet another clinic to have a look. Two hours later, Lin Tian was really tired and didn''t want to continue any longer. It was useless; over these two hours, Lin Tian took the dog to several other veterinary clinics. But all were unsuccessful. "Forget it, if you don''t throw the child, you can''t catch the wolf. Let''s give it a try!" Out of options, Lin Tian clenched his teeth and exchanged for a bottle of Healing Water. Looking at the thumb-sized bottle of Level Zero Healing Water in his palm, Lin Tian clenched his teeth, opened the cage, and shoved it into the Doberman''s mouth! Enjoy new adventures from empire Lin Tian poured all the Healing Water into its mouth and cursed fiercely, "Damn! If this doesn''t work, I''m going to kill you and make dog stew!" After throwing the empty bottle aside, Lin Tian stood up and stared at the Doberman. He was startled to see that the Doberman seemed to be poisoned, trembling non-stop. Lin Tian was shocked, slightly stunned, "There shouldn''t be any issues, even if it doesn''t work, it shouldn''t be causing problems." Just as Lin Tian was puzzling over this, he seemed to notice something different about the Doberman. It appeared... its fur seemed darker and glossier? It seemed a bit taller? Because the change was so slight, Lin Tian didn''t know whether the dog had really grown taller. And just as Lin Tian was puzzled, the dog stopped trembling and became calm. "Woof!" the Doberman barked, raising its head to look at Lin Tian. On catching the Doberman''s eyes, Lin Tian was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. Black! The Doberman''s eyes had turned black, no longer the blood-red they had been initially. Moreover, Lin Tian noticed that the Doberman''s gaze was very lively, shimmering with a gleam of intelligence. Clearly, this dog was very intelligent! "Are you alright?" Lin Tian asked the dog, somewhat surprised. "Whimper~" The Doberman called out softly, its voice filled with grievance. Grievance, it was indeed grievance! Lin Tian heard the grievance from its mouth, just like a child pleading for forgiveness from an adult after a wrongdoing. ** At seven in the evening, Liu Ruoyu sat alone on the windowsill, holding a doll in her arms. Liu Ruoyu pouted slightly as she looked outside, her expression somewhat aggrieved. She had just asked her parents to bring Yangyang back. But they had scolded her instead, saying Yangyang had gone mad and they didn''t want it anymore. They also said that Yangyang was definitely taken away by the municipal authorities and told her to stop thinking about it. This made her quite unhappy. Liu Ruoyu gripped the doll tightly in her hand, gazing down at the apartment complex below. Normally, she could often see Yangyang running on the green strip beneath the complex from here. But now... The thought made her deeply sad, pondering that she might never see Yangyang again. Her nose started to feel sore, and tears were about to fall. "Oh, I wonder where Yangyang is now? Has he eaten anything? Was he really captured by the municipal authorities..." Liu Ruoyu thought quietly. "How wonderful it would be if Yangyang appeared right now!" she thought, somewhat wistfully. But she knew this was almost impossible. After a while, she thought of the older brother she had met during the day. She thought of Lin Tian. She felt Lin Tian was very impressive, even though he had hit Yangyang. Lin Tian was indeed impressive. "Didn''t he say he would help me? That he would cure Yangyang''s illness? Could it be..." a flicker of hope crossed her eyes as she thought. However, the hope faded quickly. She had told her parents the same, but they adamantly told her that Lin Tian was deceiving her. Liu Ruoyu, though young, knew that what Lin Tian had promised was nearly impossible to achieve. "Oh, if only it were true!" the girl thought, her face filled with sadness. She gently stroked the doll in her arms, lowering her head and whispering softly to it: "Huahua, Yangyang is gone, do you miss him too? I miss him a lot." "Sigh!" The girl sighed again, her eyes somewhat lifeless as she looked downward. Suddenly, the girl was startled, she stared for a moment, her eyes fixed, hardly believing what she saw. What, what was that? She saw a shadow, a familiar shadow. It was a dog, a black Doberman! "Yangyang!?" Liu Ruoyu got up excitedly. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Woof, woof!" Seemingly hearing Liu Ruoyu''s voice, the Doberman stopped in its tracks, crouched down, and raised its head to bark up at Liu Ruoyu. Just then, a figure also approached from afar. On seeing him, Liu Ruoyu realized it was the older brother who had promised to help her during the day. Chapter 94 Can you understand what Im saying? Looking at Lin Tian, Liu Ruoyu was very surprised. She couldn''t believe that Lin Tian would actually come over at this time and even bring Yangyang back with him."Woof woof!" At this moment, Yangyang was barking frantically at Liu Ruoyu from below. "Yangyang!" Hearing Yangyang''s barking, Liu Ruoyu looked at the Doberman, her face full of ecstatic joy. "Woof woof!" The Doberman seemed very excited as well, standing up on its hind legs while barking. "Yangyang wait for me!" Liu Ruoyu called out, and then quickly turned around with her doll in her arms. "Ruoyu, where are you going?" Seeing Liu Ruoyu trying to run out, her parents asked in confusion from the living room. "Yangyang is back!" Liu Ruoyu hurriedly replied while swiftly putting on her shoes. After speaking, without waiting for a reaction, she hurriedly opened the door and ran downstairs with a "thump thump thump." Because she was in such a rush, she didn''t even close the door. Yangyang is back? Hearing this, Liu Ruoyu''s parents froze for a moment, their expressions changed, and they quickly got up and chased after her. They knew that Yangyang had gone mad, and if he bit their own daughter, it would be terrible! Lin Tian stood next to the Doberman, gently stroked its forehead, and calmed its agitated emotions. Lin Tian noticed that since the Doberman drank the Healing Water he provided, not only was its sickness cured, but it also became stronger. Its eyes likewise became more expressive. Looking into its expressive eyes, Lin Tian often thought he was communicating with a person. The change in the Doberman puzzled Lin Tian, and he had his own theories about it in his heart. The Doberman was already very smart, and Lin Tian guessed it might have undergone a genetic mutation previously. A Doberman that mutated usually only had one path: death. But the Healing Water Lin Tian provided helped it make it through the difficult time. It was precisely because of this that the Doberman seemed much smarter suddenly. Of course, all of this was just Lin Tian''s speculation. In fact, Lin Tian wasn''t very clear on the details. While Lin Tian pondered the changes in the Doberman, he saw a small figure running down from the stairwell at high speed, shouting excitedly, "Yangyang!" "Woof!" Hearing the little girl''s voice, the Doberman couldn''t contain itself any longer and hurriedly ran over to her. "Yangyang, I''ve missed you so much!" Liu Ruoyu hugged the Doberman''s neck tightly. "Woof, woof!" The Doberman also whined softly, its voice full of longing. "Ruoyu, get away!" At that moment, a hurried and tense voice suddenly rang out, followed by two figures rushing out of the stairwell. As soon as Liu Ruoyu''s parents arrived, they saw their daughter hugging the dog tightly and were shocked, their faces drained of color. They hurried over to pick up their daughter. "Yangyang! I want Yangyang!" Liu Ruoyu struggled to get down, but her parents wouldn''t dare let her. At the same time, they watched the Doberman with wary eyes. They knew that the dog had gone mad before. "Let me go, let me go! I want to get down!" Liu Ruoyu kept struggling. "Alright, stop fussing, Yangyang can bite," they said. "No, he''s already better!" Liu Ruoyu shouted. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian also stepped forward to explain, "The dog''s illness is indeed cured, there''s no problem now." "Who are you?" Liu Ruoyu''s father looked at Lin Tian with suspicion. Helplessly, Lin Tian had to explain, saying only that he was a good Samaritan, took the dog to the vet, and then after the vet gave the dog an injection, it got better. "I don''t want it, I don''t want the dog anymore, you can take it away!" Despite Lin Tian''s words that the dog was cured, they wouldn''t dare to keep it. What if it went mad again? Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Really..." Lin Tian began to explain again. "We don''t want it!" Liu Ruoyu''s parents were still very adamant. "It''s okay..." Lin Tian insisted and explained again. If it wasn''t for the task not indicating completion, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered with them. But now, he had no choice but to explain. "Don''t want it, don''t want it. This isn''t our family''s dog. Don''t come over again," they said flatly, not even listening to Lin Tian''s explanations, and walked away holding Liu Ruoyu. "I don''t want to! I want Yangyang!" Liu Ruoyu struggled in her father''s arms, but it was futile. Seeing no other way, Liu Ruoyu looked at Lin Tian and shouted, "Big brother, can you take care of Yangyang?" Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment but nodded, "I can." Discover exclusive content at empire "Then, can I come visit him later?" "You can!" Lin Tian nodded again. "Then please take good care of him!" Liu Ruoyu said tearfully, looking at the restless Yangyang with a look of distress. "Mhm, I will," Lin Tian nodded. And right at the moment Lin Tian agreed, an electronic synthesized voice rang out: "Task: Cure Liu Ruoyu''s dog of its illness completed. Reward: two Supernatural Points." Meanwhile, Liu Ruoyu''s father also carried her back up the stairs, and from afar, her voice could be heard, "Yangyang, remember to come see me!" Taking a deep breath and relieved that the task was completed, Lin Tian looked down at the somewhat anxious Doberman and said, "Let''s go, come home with me first." Whimper~~! Seeing Liu Ruoyu leave, the Doberman hung its head, whimpering incessantly, looking very sad and distressed, like a child. Lin Tian could clearly hear the sorrow in its voice. Shaking his head, Lin Tian stroked its head and comforted, "Come on, come home with me for now. You''ll stay at my place. I''ll bring you to see her when we have time." Whimper~! The Doberman looked up at Lin Tian with a sorrowful gaze, and Lin Tian even noticed tears in its eyes. Chapter 94 Can You Understand What Im Saying?_2 ```"Will you come back with me?" Lin Tian squatted down, patting its head. "Woof~!" The Doberman nodded its head, but its mood still seemed a bit down? It can actually understand what I''m saying? And it''s nodding? Lin Tian was astonished. Lin Tian looked at the Doberman somewhat stunned, with a look of surprise, "You can understand me?" The Doberman gave Lin Tian a strange look and nodded its head. Uh... Seeing the Doberman nod, Lin Tian was taken aback. In the past, Lin Tian had looked up online that intelligent dogs could have the smarts of a four-year-old child. Of course, there were some extremely intelligent dogs whose wisdom could even be on par with that of seven- or eight-year-old children. Clearly, the genetically mutated Doberman had become extremely smart. After being dumbfounded for a while, Lin Tian patted its head with some joy, "Well, good, if you understand, then come home with me." Then Lin Tian walked out of the neighborhood with the Doberman. And as they left, the Doberman kept looking back, whining from time to time, obviously reluctant. Lin Tian didn''t rush it, waiting for it. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian hailed a taxi to go home. He hadn''t been home all day, his mother must be anxious. Just as he got into the car, Lin Tian''s phone rang. He thought it was his mother, but when he took out his phone, he saw it was a call from Wang Lan. Seeing Wang Lan''s number, Lin Tian was startled, and then answered the call, "Hello." "Hello, is this... Mr. Lin?" Once the call connected, Wang Lan didn''t know how to address Lin Tian, so she just called him Mr. Lin. Lin Tian smiled slightly, "No need to be so formal, just call me Lin Tian." "Okay, I wanted to ask when you would have time to come over. I''ve told my family about your situation, but they simply don''t believe it. You see..." "I see!" Lin Tian laughed lightly, his face showing no surprise, and then said, "I''ve finished what I had to do, I''ll come over tomorrow." "Ah? Really, that''s great! Thank you! Thank you!" Hearing that Lin Tian would personally come over, Wang Lan was overjoyed. "Yeah, no problem. Talk to you later, we''ll be in touch by phone." After a few words with Wang Lan, Lin Tian hung up the phone. Lin Tian wasn''t at all surprised that Wang Lan''s family didn''t believe in him, after all, there were many swindlers nowadays. And in modern times, who still believes in divination? So Lin Tian wasn''t surprised at all by this result. "I''ll go over tomorrow." Lin Tian leaned back in his seat and thought to himself. If it were usual times, Lin Tian wouldn''t bother to go over, indifferent to whether they believed or not. But since he had to save the child himself, interacting with his family was inevitable. "Forget it, it''s just a short matter anyway." Lin Tian didn''t take the matter to heart at all. He believed that as soon as he showed a little of his hand, those people would definitely believe in him without a doubt. This was confidence coming from his superpower in divination. After thinking about the matter for a while, Lin Tian closed his eyes gently, beginning to concentrate his attention on the Sea of Consciousness. With his consciousness focused on the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian felt the golden droplet-shaped Supernatural Points floating within. "One, two..." Lin Tian counted, "Seven!" "There are already seven Supernatural Points, getting closer and closer to ten!" As he saw more and more Supernatural Points in the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian felt a sense of satisfaction. The more Supernatural Points, the stronger his power. After roaming around the Sea of Consciousness for a bit, Lin Tian opened his eyes. Lin Tian glanced beside his seat, noticing the Doberman still quietly squatting there, looking very calm. Seeing this, the driver glanced at Lin Tian through the rearview mirror, and said with a laugh, "Young man, your dog is very smart, huh!" "It''s alright!" Lin Tian smiled faintly. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Let me tell you..." The driver then struck up a conversation with Lin Tian. ``` Lin Tian evaded the questions casually. Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of Lin Tian''s residential complex. "Yangyang, come on, get out of the car!" Lin Tian called out. Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Yangyang leaped out of the car and followed him into the complex, curiously looking around. "I''m telling you, you need to behave yourself later..." Lin Tian continued to walk while listing some precautions to the Doberman. Although his mother didn''t particularly dislike dogs, she probably wouldn''t agree to this arrangement. But if the dog proved to be exceptionally smart and adorable, it was still very likely to stay. After returning home, the Doberman acted cute and obedient, showing off its high intelligence as instructed by Lin Tian, and indeed, Shi Qing, who was initially not too pleased, agreed to keep it. The happiest person was Lin Fang, who found the dog to be so intelligent that her eyes almost sparkled with excitement. With his family agreeing to take in the dog, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief; the matter was finally settled. All that was left was to visit Wang Lan''s house the next day and complete the task related to her. The night passed without incident, and the next morning while Lin Tian was having breakfast, he received another call from Wang Lan. "Is this Lin Tian? When will you come over?" "I''m having breakfast. I''ll come over after I finish, in about an hour," Lin Tian replied with his mouth full, biting into a steamed bun. After a brief chat, Lin Tian hung up the phone and continued his meal fervently. After breakfast, Lin Tian hailed a cab to Wang Lan''s place. She had already given Lin Tian her address. On the way, feeling a bit thirsty, Lin Tian asked the driver to stop so he could get out and buy a bottle of water. After getting out, Lin Tian purchased a bottle of mineral water from a small kiosk. Continue reading on empire Lin Tian unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and took a gulp. "Huh?" Lin Tian paused while drinking with a puzzled look on his face. Glancing suspiciously across the street at a fifth-floor window of a building, Lin Tian saw a girl with somewhat messy hair. It seemed odd, and Lin Tian felt the girl looked familiar. As Lin Tian was pondering, the girl appeared to be pulled away by someone and vanished from the window in an instant. Simultaneously, white curtains were drawn across the window. With a tinge of suspicion, Lin Tian drank his water as he walked back to the taxi, deep in thought about the identity of the girl. Back in the cab, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh, finally remembering who she was. Wasn''t this the girl who tried to jump from a building in Jia''an City, the one he had saved? Wasn''t her name Wang Xia? What was she doing here? Lin Tian was puzzled, but despite his confusion, he didn''t dwell on it much. Seeing Lin Tian back in the car, the driver started the engine. "Wait, I need to get out!" Lin Tian suddenly shouted as the car began to move. "You..." The driver looked at Lin Tian in surprise and instinctively stopped the car. Lin Tian hurriedly took out a hundred yuan note from his wallet, handed it to the driver, and quickly opened the car door. Upon opening the door, Lin Tian looked up again at the tightly closed window. At that moment, an electronic synthesized voice rang in his mind: "Task: Rescue the kidnapped Wang Xia. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point!" A task, there was actually a task! And at that moment, Lin Tian knew why Wang Xia was there. She had been kidnapped! Meanwhile, as Lin Tian''s gaze fixed on the building, a humanoid red dot faintly shone through the closed window into his eyes. After a quick scan, Lin Tian hurriedly ran towards the building. Chapter 95 Knock on the Door "Come here!" Just as Wang Xia was about to call for help from the window, Liu Chao yanked her back!Liu Chao pulled Wang Xia to the ground and glared at her fiercely, "You better behave yourself, let me tell you, no one here can save you. You should just obediently listen!" Liu Chao glared at Wang Xia with venomous eyes then shut the iron gate on the window and simultaneously reached out his hand with a swish to draw the curtains closed. This window was somewhat special, other household windows were fitted with protective mesh on the outside, but this window had an iron railing inside, and atop the railing, there was a small iron gate. Once the iron gate was shut, the window was sealed off completely! After being yanked to the ground by Liu Chao, Wang Xia lay there, staring at him with a defiant expression on her petite face. Noticing the expression on Wang Xia''s face, Liu Chao sneered coldly, "Pretty tough, huh? Starve you a few more meals and you''ll comply!" Having said that, he scanned Wang Xia from head to toe, a flash of greed passing through his eyes. However, he knew it wasn''t time yet, starving her a few more meals would do the trick. Thinking this, Liu Chao left Wang Xia, turned around, and walked out the room door. As he left, he also closed the room door. Seeing Liu Chao leave, Wang Xia who had been tense the whole time, exhaled a breath of relief, and started to relax a little. Wang Xia struggled to get up, her eyes flickering with fear and uncertainty. She got up and reopened the curtain, then vigorously tried to twist open the iron window but it wouldn''t budge. After a long struggle which even injured her hands, a feeble Wang Xia eventually had to give up. The room where Wang Xia was confined had nothing but a large bed. Wang Xia sat collapsed on the bed, her eyes flickering with regret... She regretted being so careless, and wondered why she trusted that seemingly kind-hearted older sister. Some ten days ago, she had argued with her family and ran away from home. She didn''t want to go back; instead, she thought of finding a job elsewhere. Moneyless, she was mostly looking for jobs that provided food and accommodation. Later, she met a woman in her thirties, an older sister who appeared very kind-hearted. She offered her a job, even saying it came with food, accommodation, and good pay. She even personally took her to the factory... But what Wang Xia hadn''t expected at all was that this seemingly kind-hearted older sister was a human trafficker. Eventually, she sold her to this man named Liu Chao. Liu Chao was a man in his forties, slightly overweight, balding, and extremely sleazy. "Ah, no!" Suddenly, a sharp scream from a woman rang out. Hearing this sound, Wang Xia trembled, a flicker of fear passing through her eyes. Liu Chao was exceptionally perverse. It was only after being sold here that Wang Xia learned that two other girls had been brought here before her. Seeing the condition of the other two girls, Wang Xia could imagine what awaited her. Just the thought made Wang Xia tremble uncontrollably, overwhelmed by fear. She deeply regretted her impulsive decision to run away, and her naivety in trusting strangers so easily! "Ah, no!" "Come here!" The voices outside faintly reached Wang Xia''s ears, and knowing what was happening outside made her shudder slightly. "Gurgle..." At that moment, Wang Xia''s stomach also growled. Wang Xia felt she couldn''t hold on much longer. She hadn''t eaten in two days. "Click!" Suddenly, the sound of a door opening startled her. Hearing the noise, Wang Xia who was sitting on the bed, jumped to her feet. With a click, the door to Wang Xia''s room swung open. "Get in!" Liu Chao pushed another woman in her twenties, naked, into the room. "No~!" Wang Xia cried out in despair, her face filled with hopelessness. "Just give in, no one can save you!" Wang Xia''s face was etched with despair. Though she fiercely tried to resist, she was powerless. At that moment, she thought of many people, including her parents and friends. Lastly, Wang Xia thought of Lin Tian... Though they had only met twice, Wang Xia had a strong impression of Lin Tian. They had met twice, but Lin Tian had helped her both times. The first time he saved her from a suicide attempt, and the second time he helped her seek revenge. It could be said that Lin Tian was her savior. But now... He wasn''t here! Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If only he could appear! Wang Xia thought sadly... But she knew, that was impossible. Rip! "Heh heh..." Suddenly, a hurried knocking at the door rang out. "Hello, is anyone there!" A voice faintly came through. Meanwhile, outside, Lin Tian banged loudly on the door, causing it to thud violently. Hearing this knocking, Liu Chao paused and looked bewildered. And hearing this familiar voice, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Wang Xia''s eyes, then quickly disappeared, replaced by sheer elation. Wang Xia''s eyes sparkled with joy! It was him! That was his voice! That boy! Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Wang Xia was overwhelmed with joy. Her mouth opened wide as she was about to call out, but Liu Chao quickly noticed her movement and quickly covered her mouth. "Are you going to open the door? If not, I''m going to break it down!" At this moment, Lin Tian''s voice came again, accompanied by a series of loud banging noises. Looking like he really might break down the door if it remained unopened, Liu Chao could no longer ignore Lin Tian. While muttering curses, he restrained the two women and fearing they might scream, Liu Chao also taped their mouths shut. After finishing this task, Liu Chao hurried over because Lin Tian''s banging was becoming louder and louder. Chapter 96 Astonishment Arriving at the front door, Liu Chao peeked through the peephole and saw a young boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, outside. This reassured him.Immediately after, Liu Chao opened the door and cursed: "What the hell are you making noise for, looking to die!" As soon as Liu Chao opened the door, his face was fierce, full of ferocity. "Uh..." Lin Tian stared blankly for a moment, sizing up the bald man before him and squinting slightly: "I''m here for a girl." A girl? Hearing this, Liu Chao''s heart tightened, a trace of nervousness within him, but the more nervous he became, the less he dared to show it. Instead, he glared at Lin Tian even more malevolently and bellowed: "Get lost, there''s no girl here!" With that, Liu Chao slapped the door shut. But the door only closed halfway and would go no further. Lin Tian''s hand was braced against the door, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at the middle-aged man: "Whether you say there is a girl or isn''t doesn''t count, it''s only true if I say so!" With that, Lin Tian pushed the door! Lin Tian''s strength was not something Liu Chao could contend with. Despite him frantically trying to hold it back with both hands, Lin Tian easily swung the door open. "Let me have a look!" Pushing the door open, Lin Tian stepped inside. "You..." Nervous! This time Liu Chao was truly nervous. Lin Tian glanced around and spotted a half-closed door across the living room. It seemed to be the room Lin Tian had seen from the window outside earlier. Seeing this room, Lin Tian headed straight for it. Noticing Lin Tian''s action, Liu Chao''s eyes narrowed, scanning left and right. He then grabbed a wooden stick from nearby and swung it at the back of Lin Tian''s head! Whoosh! The sound of air being sliced through rang out! Lin Tian paused mid-step, squinted his eyes, dodged swiftly, and kicked out! Bang! Lin Tian''s kick sent Liu Chao flying! Crash, crash! Liu Chao''s body hit a chair, and chairs went scattering all over the place. The kick from Lin Tian was no gentle matter; Liu Chao lay on the ground, unable to recover his breath for a long time. After giving him a glance, Lin Tian walked over and delivered a slap, knocking him out cold! Seeing Liu Chao collapse, Lin Tian then turned and quickly made his way to the ajar room. Upon opening the door, Lin Tian was struck dumb. This... "Mmm mmm mmm..." Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Xia started to cry out in excitement, but because her mouth was sealed, she could only make whimpering noises. Hearing Wang Xia''s voice, Lin Tian snapped back to reality and rushed over to tear the tape from the mouths of the captives. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Quick, save me!" The tape no sooner off, Wang Xia began to cry out anxiously. Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don''t worry, I''ve already subdued the guy outside." "Quick, unlock these handcuffs. He has the keys on him!" Wang Xia said hurriedly, not caring about the exposure of her chest. Lin Tian then found a set of keys on the unconscious Liu Chao and unlocked the handcuffs from both girls. "There''s another girl in another room!" As soon as her handcuffs were off, Wang Xia urgently informed him. Lin Tian then ran to another room and rescued the girl trapped inside. And through Wang Xia''s explanation, Lin Tian also learned what kind of person that middle-aged man outside was. Looking at Liu Chao lying unconscious outside, a flicker of murderous intent flashed in Lin Tian''s eyes. Before Lin Tian could take any action, suddenly a series of urgent siren sounds came from outside. "Doot doot doot..." The wail of sirens startled everyone in the room. Lin Tian walked over to the window in some astonishment and looked down, only to see many police cars stopped below, and more were rushing into the building at high speed. "What''s going on? Why are there so many cops?" Lin Tian said in bewilderment. Before Lin Tian could come to his senses, suddenly the rapid footsteps of many people could be heard coming up the stairwell. Hearing this noise, Lin Tian turned his head in surprise. He had barely turned when he saw three men burst into the room headlong. "Damn it, nobody move!" Lin Tian stared at the guns in their hands, completely frozen. "Clack clack!..." Suddenly, more intense footsteps echoed from the stairwell. The faces of the three men changed upon hearing it, and they hurriedly turned to look. Police! Seven or eight policemen burst up the stairs, guns drawn. "Nobody come any closer!" the bald man among the first three to enter shouted, and swiftly pulled one of the three girls inside, pointing his gun at her head. Seeing the hostage in the bald man''s hand, the approaching police officers changed expressions, raised their guns, but hesitated to move forward for the safety of the hostage. "Stay back!" the bald man waved his gun at the girl''s head, and with a signal, prompted an accomplice to close the door. Seeing the door closing reluctantly, and despite some indignation, the police could only watch helplessly for fear of the criminal''s excessive actions. Once the door was shut and locked, the bald man sighed in relief, but did not loosen his grip on the girl. Addressing the one who had closed the door, he said, "Doggy, lock up the others. We need to figure out what to do!" "Alright!" Doggy responded and, pointing the gun at Lin Tian, Wang Xia, and another girl said, "Move." Seeing Lin Tian move slowly, Doggy kicked him and cursed impatiently: "Damn it, move it!" Feeling the kick to his backside, a glint of sharpness passed through Lin Tian''s eyes. However, with three guns trained on him, Lin Tian dared not make a move. After herding Lin Tian and the others into the room, Doggy checked it over, finding even the windows were locked, and he finally felt secure. Chapter 96 Astonishment_2 Seeing the dog lose his alertness, Lin Tian was about to make a move, but as soon as his body started to shift, he stopped, looking somewhat helpless towards the doorway.At that time, the bald man also walked in. Upon entering, the bald man aimed his pistol at Lin Tian and asked coldly, "Did you knock out the person in the living room?" After Lin Tian and the others entered the small room, the bald man had also seen Liu Chao lying on the other side and, after questioning the girl, he knew it was Lin Tian''s doing. Lin Tian quietly glanced at him, not denying it, and nodded. Since he was asking, he surely knew the answer. Denying it would be pointless. Seeing Lin Tian admit it, the bald man''s eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashing through them as he sized up Lin Tian, "Kid, not bad!" Lin Tian slightly bowed his head without speaking. After staring at Lin Tian coldly for a while, the bald man withdrew his gaze and turned to the dog, saying, "Keep an eye on them, be careful, I''ll find something to tie their hands." With that, the bald man gave Lin Tian another glance and then turned to leave. After the bald man left, the dog pointed his gun at the three of them, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the two girls with a lecherous look in his eyes. Even though the two girls were now dressed, their clothes were quite loose, revealing large areas of their fair skin. Noticing the dog''s gaze, Wang Xia''s body stiffened and she began to tremble slightly. Fear, terror! She had barely escaped one disaster, only to fall into another trap. These three men were clearly ruthless characters. Noticing Wang Xia''s trembling body, Lin Tian extended his hand to gently pat the back of her hand, giving her an encouraging look. Wang Xia felt a bit more relaxed with Lin Tian''s gesture. But despite this, she was still afraid; the three men armed with guns were not someone Lin Tian could contend with. Wang Xia felt a wave of confusion, uncertainty about her fate. Glancing at Wang Xia, Lin Tian took a deep breath, smiling at the dog who was pointing a gun at them, and said, "Do you know?" "What?" The dog glared at Lin Tian. "Do you know, you''re just a tragedy!" Lin Tian said with a smile, looking at the dog. "Damn you, what are you saying!" Enraged by Lin Tian''s words, the dog quickly stepped forward with the gun in his hand and pressed it directly against Lin Tian''s forehead. With the cold muzzle pressed hard against Lin Tian''s forehead, he too broke into a cold sweat. But at this moment, instead of looking scared or nervous, Lin Tian looked utterly astonished! He looked past the dog with an expression of horror... As if, as if he had seen a ghost! The dog was startled by Lin Tian''s shocked expression and instinctively turned to look behind him. There was no one there! Fooled! The dog immediately realized the trick and quickly turned back! But it was too late! In the moment the dog turned his head, Lin Tian swiftly reached out, grabbed the dog''s wrist, and twisted forcefully! S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Crack! The dog''s wrist was bent to a right angle! "Ahhh..." Just as the dog was about to scream, Lin Tian immediately covered his mouth, and with one palm, he struck the back of the dog''s head! Thud! The dog passed out instantly. "Phew!" Lin Tian finally let out a breath, wiping away the cold sweat on his forehead. That had been too dangerous. Having a gun to his head, if the dog''s hand had twitched, Lin Tian would have been finished, and no amount of superpower would have helped. After taking a breath of relief, Lin Tian dared not let his guard down, knowing that the real danger was yet to come. While the bald man was still away, Lin Tian moved the dog''s body aside, then pressed against the wall by the doorway, his gaze fixed intently on the entrance. He was waiting for the bald man''s arrival. The scene had unfolded too quickly; by the time Wang Xia and the other girl had processed what happened, Lin Tian had already dealt with the dog and was lying in ambush at the door. Overcome with shock and afraid to make a noise, Wang Xia covered her mouth tightly with both hands, her eyes wide with surprise as she watched Lin Tian''s serious expression against the wall. Wang Xia was astonished! Lin Tian... he, he was incredible! The other girl stood dumbfounded, her eyes filled with shock. She could never have anticipated this scene. But at this time, Lin Tian had no mental capacity to care for the girls'' astonishment as he was extremely tense, not even daring to breathe too heavily. Lin Tian''s body pressed tightly against the wall, his gaze still fixed on the doorway. "Tap tap..." The sound of footsteps approached. Along with the footsteps came a black shadow, getting closer and closer. Seeing the bald shadow, Lin Tian knew that the bald man was coming. The shadow grew nearer, and the footsteps sounded clearer and clearer. He''s here! Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. The bald man, holding a rope, walked in, his gaze sweeping around, but he didn''t find Doggie and Lin Tian. Stunned for a moment, the bald man instantly realized something was amiss and was about to raise the pistol in his hand! But it was too late! Whoosh! A dark shadow pounced in an instant! Lin Tian lunged forward, pinning him against the wall, and at the same time, he fiercely slammed the man''s head into it! Bang! A loud noise ensued, and the bald man''s eyes rolled back as blood gushed from the back of his head. His body then limply fell to the ground. It was unclear if he was dead. "What happened?" The thud of the bald man''s head hitting the wall drew the attention of the person outside, who walked over with a puzzled look. Seeing the person coming, Lin Tian took a deep breath, picked up the pistol, and once again pressed his body against the wall. The person following behind seemed to sense something was wrong and didn''t directly enter but appeared somewhat cautious. Lin Tian, pressing himself against the wall, kept his gaze on the shadows on the ground, squinting slightly. As the person stepped in, Lin Tian tossed the pistol he was holding. Clack! The pistol hit the ground, and the person glanced subconsciously at it. Now was the moment! Lin Tian kicked out fiercely! Whoosh! A whooshing sound broke through the air! Thump! Lin Tian kicked him, sending him flying. A good four or five meters through the air! As he sent the man flying, Lin Tian pounced right after him. "Hey!" With a loud shout, Lin Tian pinned him down, grabbing his hair and slamming his head onto the ground! Bang! His head hit the floor hard! Blood flowed instantly. Seeing his limp body, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Resolved! All three men were taken care of! "Phew!" Lin Tian let out a long breath, his body relaxing as he sat on the ground. Lin Tian felt his back sticky, that was cold sweat from fright. The situation had indeed been very dangerous, especially when Doggie had pointed the gun at his head. "Phew!" Lin Tian gasped for air, releasing the tension inside him. Wang Xia stared blankly, her eyes wide open in astonishment. Hurry! From the moment Lin Tian took out Doggie to the time he dealt with all three men, everything happened so fast. Not even a minute passed! And Lin Tian''s performance was even more shocking to her! It was... truly incredible! The girl beside her was also staring blankly. She watched Lin Tian in disbelief. "Click!" Suddenly, the sound of a door opening came from outside. It was the first girl who, seeing that no one from inside had come out for a while and spotting an opportunity, quickly opened the door. She escaped. And with the door opening came a series of hurried footsteps. All the police officers rushed in. "Don''t move!" The police officers shouted tensely, guns in hand, as they entered. But they froze in an instant. What, what''s going on? The scene before them left them stunned. All three criminals were lying on the ground, blood everywhere, while the other three hostages seemed completely unharmed. What in the world happened? Shock flickered in everyone''s eyes! Chapter 97 Do I need to go on? What, what on earth is going on?All the police officers stared blankly at the scene with a look of utter astonishment. "Phew!" At that moment, a long sigh was heard. Lin Tian pushed himself off the ground and slowly stood up. Seeing Lin Tian rise to his feet, many of the police officers instinctively pointed their guns at him, their nerves tensed by the eerie scene. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Frustrated by the guns aimed at him, Lin Tian snapped angrily, "Is this how you treat someone who''s helping you? Can you play happily like this?" Having guns pointed at him from the start, and now this, Lin Tian was really irked! "You... You''re Lin Tian?" One of the police officers seemed to remember Lin Tian and spoke with some hesitation. "Finally, someone with a brain!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes at him. "Put them down, everyone put your guns down," the police officer quickly ordered, a hint of realization dawning on him. If this was Lin Tian, then the whole scene made sense. He could recall hearing about Lin Tian''s bizarre behaviors. With someone recognizing him, things would be easier now, at least there was no need to worry about guns being pointed at him anymore. Afterward, the police began to wrap up the scene, and since Lin Tian had played a major part in the incident, he was certainly required to give a statement. Naturally, he had to make a trip to the police station. Reluctantly, Lin Tian couldn''t avoid it; it seemed that he wouldn''t be able to visit Wang Lan''s home today. With that thought, Lin Tian made a phone call to Wang Lan. ** On the other side, Wang Lan hung up the phone with a helpless expression. Seeing the helplessness on Wang Lan''s face, her mother, Zhang Feng, asked curiously, "What''s wrong?" "Master Lin said something came up and he can''t come over today. He''ll come tomorrow!" "Tomorrow? He''s not a fraudster, is he? Maybe he''s afraid to come over?" Wang Lan''s mother said with some skepticism. "He''s been a fraudster from the start. I''ve been saying it''s a waste of time," said a man in his thirties nearby, showing impatience. Wang Lan glanced around and noticed that all the relatives were showing signs of impatience; none of them believed what she was saying. Clearly, they didn''t believe Lin Tian. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, Wang Lan said nothing. After all, they wouldn''t believe her now, no matter what she said. ** The next morning, after talking to Wang Lan, Lin Tian hailed a cab and headed straight for her house. He had sorted out the case from yesterday and was now free. And Wang Xia had been taken back by her parents. Stay connected with empire And Lin Tian had gained a Supernatural Point. "Seven Supernatural Points plus the one I just got, now I have a total of eight Supernatural Points," Lin Tian mused as he sat in the taxi, his consciousness diving into the Sea of Consciousness, contemplating the droplets of golden Supernatural Points. "Just two more Supernatural Points and I''ll have ten. Then I can create a superpower." "Almost there!" Lin Tian thought to himself, feeling a thrill of excitement. Lost in thought, half an hour later, the taxi came to a stop at the entrance of the neighborhood where Wang Lan lived. Lin Tian got out of the car and walked straight towards Wang Lan''s home. "Building 16, apartment 201!" Lin Tian muttered Wang Lan''s address to himself as he walked quickly forward. Arriving at building number sixteen, Lin Tian walked up the stairs. Standing in front of apartment 201, Lin Tian found the door closed and rang the doorbell. "Ding dong!" "Coming!" Following a voice, the door was opened by a middle-aged woman in her fifties. Zhang Feng opened the door and, seeing Lin Tian, looked him up and down with some surprise, "Who are you looking for?" After a brief glance at her, Lin Tian calmly replied, "Is this Wang Lan''s residence?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng''s eyes widened incredulously as she continued to gaze at Lin Tian in disbelief, "Are you that Master Lin?" "Master Lin?" Lin Tianyi was startled, then he caught on and nodded, "If you''re talking about the person who''s going to help you find the missing boy, then yes, that''s me." It really is him! Zhang Feng looked at Lin Tian in surprise, her face full of astonishment. Originally, her children had said that a Master Lin was very accurate in divination, but she was somewhat skeptical, and now that she saw Lin Tian, her doubts only deepened. How old is this kid? Eighteen or nineteen years old? He must be a swindler! Zhang Feng internally branded Lin Tian with a label. "Master Lin? You''re here, come in, come in quickly!" At that moment, Wang Lan inside the room also noticed Lin Tian and immediately greeted him with enthusiasm. Seeing her daughter so enthusiastic, Zhang Feng opened her mouth but ultimately didn''t say anything. However, the skepticism on her face was not concealed at all. Then, Lin Tian followed Wang Lan inside. Upon arriving in the living room, Lin Tian found a group of people standing there. As he approached, everyone looked towards him. And the moment they saw Lin Tian, they were all taken aback. Noticing the expressions on these people''s faces, Lin Tian knew that Wang Lan had probably not told them about his age. "Xiaohui, this is the so-called master you spoke of?" Glancing at Lin Tian, a man in his thirties looked at Wang Lan with dissatisfaction. "This¡­" Wang Lan''s face showed embarrassment. Lin Tian scanned the crowd, taking in everyone''s expressions. He knew these people were already skeptical of him, and seeing how young he was only added to their disbelief. Seeing their expressions, Lin Tian didn''t feel like wasting words. With this thought, he pulled up a chair and sat down calmly, looking at everyone: "I know you don''t believe in me, but it doesn''t matter. I''ll do some calculations for you today." "Then calculate the color of the underwear I''m wearing today!" The middle-aged man began with a mocking look at Lin Tian. Lin Tian glanced at him faintly and said calmly, "Alright!" With that, Lin Tian took three coins out of his pocket and tossed them! Buzz buzz! The three coins spun rapidly! They were so fast that they resembled spinning tops! Seeing Lin Tian''s move, everyone in the room was taken aback, showing some surprise. To make coins spin like tops with a casual toss wasn''t something just anyone could manage. Of course, they were just surprised that''s all, Lin Tian''s seemingly cool move didn''t mean he knew any divination. Buzz buzz~! After about a dozen seconds, the spinning coins began to slow down. Eventually, the coins came to a complete stop. Seeing the coins stopped, everyone''s gaze turned towards Lin Tian. After glancing at the coins that had stopped spinning, Lin Tian lifted his head. His gaze moved across the faces of everyone there and finally settled on the middle-aged man, speaking slowly: "Your underwear is red," Lin Tian said with certainty. At these words, everyone''s gaze shifted to the middle-aged man. "You¡­ you must be guessing!" Stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man quickly spoke up. "Exactly, there are only a few colors to choose from, it''s possible even by guessing!" At that moment, a middle-aged woman alongside joined in. Just a guess, that was indeed a possibility. With this thought, a hint of suspicion appeared on everyone''s faces. Noticing the doubt on their faces, Lin Tian''s expression remained unchanged as he quietly looked at the middle-aged man, speaking at a measured pace: "Your underwear is red, bought a year ago. You''ve been wearing it for three days without changing. Also, there is a hole in the front of your underwear, and sometimes you will¡­" Pausing here, Lin Tian''s tone halted and he looked at the man with a half-smile: "Shall I go on?" Chapter 98 Its a Waste of Youth Not to Be Romantic Shock!At that moment, the middle-aged man''s face was full of horror, his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost. Noticing the expression on the middle-aged man''s face, everyone felt a wave of confusion. Could everything Lin Tian said be true? Had he really figured it out? Everyone looked at the middle-aged man with doubt and then at Lin Tian. "Shall I continue?" Lin Tian asked, his smile not quite reaching his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man. "No, no need!" Coming to his senses, the middle-aged man hurriedly replied. He was now somewhat distraught. It was too miraculous! The impact of Lin Tian''s performance was too great! To think that even such a trivial matter as his own underwear, known only to his wife, could be foretold. He didn''t believe his wife would tell him about it. So the only possibility was... he had really figured it out! As soon as the middle-aged man thought of this possibility, his eyes widened in shock and astonishment. The middle-aged man''s expression was noted by everyone in the room. All had their suspicions. By then, no one dared to look down on Lin Tian, and his expression grew solemn. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Lan''s mother, Zhang Feng, looked at Lin Tian and tested him, "Can you calculate how much money I lost yesterday?" Lost money? Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Zhang Feng curiously. Nobody in the room had heard about Zhang Feng losing money. Seeing everyone''s reaction, Zhang Feng explained, "I lost some money yesterday and I haven''t told anyone. If this... if Master Lin really can figure it out, then..." Zhang Feng didn''t finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant. If Lin Tian could figure this out as well, then he truly was a divine figure! Thinking this, everyone turned their gazes toward Lin Tian. After scanning the crowd, knowing they would not fully believe him unless he performed another divination, Lin Tian nodded calmly, "I can." After speaking, Lin Tian bent down to pick up three coins from the ground, held them in his palm, and tossed them again. Humming~! The three silver coins rapidly spun on the ground. Everyone watched the rapidly spinning coins with serious expressions. This time, no one was indifferent, and everyone seemed a bit tense. Hum! Several seconds later, the coins stopped. The moment they stopped, a flood of information entered Lin Tian''s mind. After scanning the information in his mind, Lin Tian frowned. Taking a deep breath, he turned to Zhang Feng and said expressionlessly, "You didn''t lose money yesterday!" "What?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this. "You didn''t lose money yesterday, but you did lose two hundred yuan the day before yesterday on Yangming Road. Right?" Lin Tian asked, looking at the somewhat dazed Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng stared at Lin Tian, stunned. After a while, astonishment in her eyes gave way to ecstasy. It was true! He had really figured it out! And he had done it even though she had given him incorrect information. A divine figure! Truly a divine figure! S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhang Feng''s heart surged with excitement. After a moment, she knelt down before Lin Tian, crying out with a sad face, "Master Lin, please save my grandson!" "Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback by Zhang Feng''s sudden kneeling. The change in her attitude was too abrupt. After a moment of surprise, Lin Tian quickly got up to help Zhang Feng, "Please get up, I''ll help if I can." After a moment, the other people in the room also hurried to help Zhang Feng up. Meanwhile, various compliments were whispered into Lin Tian''s ears. "Mom, please get up. Master Lin will definitely help!" "Exactly, Master Lin has a heart of a Bodhisattva..." Listening to the complimentary voices around him, Lin Tianyi was at a loss for words. In the beginning, he was too disdainful, but now... However, thinking about it, Lin Tian understood. Any family, if there really was someone who could help them find their children, would definitely be just as excited. Lin Tian''s two divination techniques completely won over Wang Lan''s family. What followed was simple. Lin Tian said that helping them find someone would be very beneficial to his cultivation, and he would help them find their children. Your next chapter is on empire Afterward, Lin Tian suggested that someone should come with him. After all, he would need to bring the child back after finding them and might even have to take care of them, which Lin Tian didn''t want to be too troublesome. Hearing Lin Tian say this, everyone in the room wanted to go, even wanting to go together. But Lin Tian didn''t need that many people. In the end, Lin Tian suggested going with Wang Lan. After all, traveling with a beauty wouldn''t be so lonely. After arranging everything, Lin Tian didn''t plan to stay much longer. He stood up and said, "Alright, everyone, don''t worry. We should be able to find the child very soon, I guess in three to five days." "Thank you! Thank you, Master Lin!" Everyone in the room looked at Lin Tian with respect, and even some children''s eyes sparkled with admiration. Divination, so cool! After scanning the crowd, Lin Tian nodded. "Don''t mention it. I''m heading back now. I''ll come over again tomorrow." With that, Lin Tian turned and left. "Master Lin, please stay a bit longer." "Yes, stay a bit longer!" "No need." Lin Tian lightly shook his head and turned to leave. "Master Lin, please accept this token of appreciation." At that moment, Zhang Feng suddenly pulled out a stack of red banknotes and stuffed them into Lin Tian''s hands. Lin Tian''s hand wavered but did not accept them, shaking his head. "I told you, I don''t need your money." This money was of no use to Lin Tian. After waving goodbye, Lin Tian opened the door and left. Until Lin Tian disappeared at the doorway, the family was still somewhat dazed. Feeling a bit overwhelmed. Was all of this real? The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Tian hailed a cab to the train station. Wang Lan had already called to say she was at the train station and had bought the tickets. Half an hour later, Lin Tian found Wang Lan waiting at the train station. "Let''s go. Inside." Lin Tian smiled faintly. According to the ticket information, the train would leave in half an hour. The reason for taking this train was also Lin Tian''s feeling after divining. This time Lin Tian and Wang Lan were taking a high-speed train to Hua''an, which would take three hours to arrive. After security check, the two went to the waiting hall to wait for their train. In the waiting hall, Wang Lan, sitting beside him and looking at Lin Tian who was browsing his phone, curiously asked, "How did you learn this skill?" "Hmm?" Lin Tian looked up at her with a puzzled look. "I mean, how did you learn this divination technique?" Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian with a curious face. "I taught myself from an ancient book," Lin Tian chuckled. Seeing the mischievous smile on Lin Tian''s face, Wang Lan pouted. "Liar!" "Liar? Where''s your proof? Empty accusations!" Lin Tian looked at her with a cheeky grin, bantering with her. Chatting with a beauty was also a good way to pass the time. Seeing that Lin Tian was unwilling to talk about it, Wang Lan changed the subject and continued to ask, "Then predict when I will get rich..." "Let me think..." As time passed unnoticed while chatting with Wang Lan. Ten minutes later, they began checking tickets. Then the two went through the ticket gate. Wang Lan bought adjacent seats, and the two sat together. This was Lin Tian''s first time on a high-speed train, and he noticed that all the attendants were beauties. Noticing Lin Tian''s occasional stealthy glances, Wang Lan looked at him in speechless amusement, "I wouldn''t have guessed. You''re young, but quite bold when it comes to women." After interacting with Lin Tian for a while, Wang Lan realized Lin Tian was a carefree person and spoke more casually. After glancing at a passing beauty, Lin Tian turned back, looking at her nonchalantly, "Being frivolous is part of youth! Besides..." He paused here, examining Wang Lan from top to bottom, his gaze lingering for a while, with a knowing smile, "Besides, aren''t you also like that, huh? I can tell you have strong desires!" Chapter 99 Domineering! Awesome! "You..." Wang Lan''s pretty face instantly turned red, and she turned her face away, ignoring Lin Tian.Lin Tian chuckled and once again looked around at the pretty girls. So many beauties. While Lin Tian was scanning the beauties, at this moment, a young man took his seat opposite Lin Tian. This guy wasn''t old, probably in his twenties, wore glasses, and seemed like a very quiet young man. After a glance at him, Lin Tian paid him no more attention and continued his survey of the beauties. His gaze shifted, and Lin Tian frowned slightly, his expression somewhat dissatisfied. I had just seen a beauty in black stockings, and before I could properly appreciate her, someone blocked my view. A quick scan revealed that it was a young man, and this young man was walking in my direction. Discover stories at empire Lin Tian didn''t care, thinking to himself that this bastard should walk faster when the young man walked straight over to the quiet youth sitting opposite Lin Tian and, without any courtesy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "My girlfriend is in the seat next to you. Let''s switch seats." "What?" The quiet young man seemed a bit stunned. "I said switch seats with you, can you move quickly?" Seeing the quiet young man in a daze, the young man urged with some dissatisfaction. The quiet young man glanced at him and indeed saw a girl next to him. "Which is your seat?" After thinking it over, the quiet young man asked. "Number 54." "Alright." After some thought, the quiet young man agreed. Seeing the quiet young man get up, the guy didn''t thank him and still seemed impatient, as if he thought the other was moving too slowly. Then the quiet young man left, and the couple took their seats. This person sat right opposite Lin Tian. After scanning him, Lin Tian felt annoyed. This guy''s attitude seemed arrogant and presumptuous. Nowadays many people in this country behave like this; a lot of people think they''re great just because they have some money. They think they''re the number one in the world, so it''s no exception to come across such people outside. Shaking his head, Lin Tian ignored him and continued to stealthily glance at the beauties, but his mood was no longer as excited as before. After looking over a few beauties, he felt a bit bored, and as the bus started moving, Lin Tian took out his phone and began reading a novel. Just as Lin Tian was engrossed in his reading, suddenly an arrogant voice rang out, "Hey, come here." Lin Tian frowned, looked up, and saw it was the young man sitting opposite him. He seemed to be calling someone. "Hello, what''s the matter?" At that moment, a tall, uniformed waiter approached. "Make this instant noodle for me." The young man pointed at the instant noodles on the table. "Hello, there''s hot water over there; you can go and take it yourself," the waiter replied, though a bit taken aback, still courteously. "I know there is hot water there, but I''m telling you to make it for me, don''t you understand?" The young man looked at her impatiently. "I''m sorry..." "Damn it, can''t even make noodles without complaining, you..." Before the waiter could finish speaking, the young man started cursing. As a conflict seemed imminent, another waiter hurried over, apologizing, and quickly took the first waiter away, then went to make the instant noodles for the young man himself. Even though his noodles were made for him, the young man was still grumbling nonstop, "Damn, can''t even do such a simple thing right..." Lin Tian watched the guy with a frown, feeling as if he had swallowed a fly. So disgusting. Lin Tian just couldn''t understand how this person had grown up. Hadn''t he ever been taught a lesson? Such arrogance. Shaking his head, Lin Tian was somewhat speechless. Although irritated, Lin Tian said nothing. He just shook his head and continued to read his novel. Time gradually passed, and just as Lin Tian was watching excitedly, suddenly, a faint stench wafted into his nostrils. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was the smell of dirty socks. "Hm?" Lin Tian was taken aback, lifted his head for a look, and his gaze swept across until it fixed on the young man''s feet across from him. To Lin Tian''s shock, the person opposite had actually taken off his shoes. Leaning forward slightly, a wave of foul odor hit him, and judging by Wang Lan''s frequent wrinkling of her nose beside him, it was obvious she couldn''t stand it either, but perhaps because the young man''s attitude had been too arrogant earlier, she felt reluctant to say anything. She didn''t want to cause trouble. Wang Lan didn''t dare to speak up, but Lin Tian wasn''t so polite. Lin Tian had already tolerated him for a long time. "Tap tap..." Lin Tian''s hand lightly tapped on the table. When the young man''s gaze came over, Lin Tian calmly looked at him, "I''m saying, could you put your shoes back on?" "Put my shoes on? Why should I? I can do whatever I want! It''s none of your business!" The young man glared at Lin Tian with an unhappy face. His attitude was arrogant. "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled, shook his head, and smacked his lips, quietly staring at him for a while before suddenly standing up and slapping him across the face! "Damn it! Do you think you are the mother of the four seas, that everyone has to make way for you? You''re asking for it!" "Smack!" With a loud slap, the young man''s left cheek instantly bore the imprint of five fingers. The loud slap stunned everyone. Stunned for a moment, the young man quickly recovered and stood up pointing at Lin Tian''s nose, cursing, "You..." "You, your sister!" Lin Tian slapped him again before he could finish his words! Smack! Lin Tian''s hefty slap directly sent him tumbling back into his seat. "You..." With eyes blazing with fury, the young man braced against the seat, trying to rise again, intending to charge over. "Still not convinced?" Seeing this scene, Lin Tian slapped him again, sending him tumbling to the ground once more. "Ah!" Stunned for a moment, the young man''s girlfriend suddenly started scolding like a fishwife and then snatched up the trash tray on the table, hurling it at Lin Tian. Bang! Lin Tian instinctively blocked with his hand, but despite that, some debris and sunflower seed shells still stuck to his clothes. Even some yellow stains got on his shirt. This scene infuriated Lin Tian, who glared at the woman and slapped her across the face, fiercely scolding, "I never hit women, but for a thing that''s not even a woman, I don''t hesitate!" Smack! The resounding slap sent the girl tumbling to the ground, leaving her utterly stunned. "You son of a..." Meanwhile, the young man struggled to his feet again, seemingly looking for something to use as a weapon. Seeing that he was still not convinced, Lin Tian''s face hardened as he slapped him again, "Still not convinced? Acting like a fool!" Smack! Lin Tian''s slap sent him reeling back once again. Everyone watched the scene in stunned silence, some staring blankly at Lin Tian. As long as the young man showed any sign of still being unconvinced, wanting to curse or do anything, Lin Tian would unceremoniously slap him again! The young man had thought about fighting back, but Lin Tian was too strong and reacted too fast, leaving him no chance to retaliate. After being slapped seven or eight times consecutively, he finally calmed down and dared not act arrogantly anymore. Everyone watched the scene in stunned silence, some staring blankly at the stone-faced Lin Tian. Wang Lan also stared blankly at Lin Tian, seeing him like this, only two words remained in her heart¡ªAwesome! Domineering! Such domineering presence! Chapter 100 Mission! Mission! "What''s going on?" Two uniformed train officers quickly approached from a distance."What happened?" They hastened over, glanced at the scene, and asked in a deep voice. "It''s like this..." The waiter nearby finally reacted and began explaining in a low voice. Having heard the waiter''s explanation and taken another look at the scene, the two officers had a basic understanding of the situation. Seeing that the young man who was hit didn''t seem to have any serious problems, one officer spoke up, "Everyone, come with me." Seeing the officers approaching, Lin Tian knew trouble was inevitable. But he wasn''t surprised since he was prepared for this and followed the officers. After Lin Tian left, the crowd burst into discussion: "That guy was so fierce, absolutely domineering¡ªhe slapped him and the guy didn''t dare to move! You should have seen his eyes at the time!" "He deserved it, being so arrogant!" "Exactly, it felt good!" "Just don''t know what will happen to that young man?" "Should be fine, it was just a fight." Listening to the discussions around, Wang Lan, sitting nearby, admired Lin Tian yet also worried for him. During Wang Lan''s anxious wait, Lin Tian casually returned after ten minutes. No sooner had Lin Tian sat down than Wang Lan asked eagerly, "Are you okay?" "What could possibly be wrong with me?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "The police didn''t give you any trouble?" Wang Lan asked, looking at Lin Tian curiously. "Since you''ve addressed me as Master Lin, I should have at least that much ability," Lin Tian chuckled. "..." Wang Lan was left speechless. She retracted the comforting words she had prepared, seeing Lin Tian''s grinning face. Of course, things weren''t as simple as Lin Tian described, but they weren''t overly complicated either. It was originally a minor issue¡ªjust a fight. Since Lin Tian knew his limits and the injuries weren''t serious, even if the police took it seriously, they could not do much to Lin Tian. At most, he would be detained for a few days. Then Lin Tian paved his way out with money, and considering the police had a slight bias towards him to begin with, they released him shortly after. Of course, he had to part with some money, which was inevitable. But Lin Tian didn''t care about the money. He had plenty of ways to make it. What mattered was that he had vented his anger. Two hours later, Lin Tian and Wang Lan got off the car, walking out of Hua''an City train station. Stepping out of the station, Lin Tian glanced around and then headed towards the taxi area: "Let''s go, we''ll go find your nephew now." Once in the car, Lin Tian instructed the driver to begin driving based on his intuition. ** Inside an old and dilapidated courtyard in a remote part of Hua''an City''s old quarter, four middle-aged men were discussing what to do with a female journalist. "Speak, what do we do now?" Wang Long glanced at the girl cornered and spoke up. "Just get rid of her!" A hint of ruthlessness flickered in one man''s eyes. "I agree, judging from her diary, no one knows she was investigating us. There was nobody around when we captured her," another man added. "I think it''s fine too! Just like the last time!" a third man chimed in. "Hmm¡­" Wang Long pondered for a moment, took another look at the cornered girl, and nodded, "Then, let''s do it." "Good!" Upon hearing Wang Long''s agreement, one bald man''s eyes shone with pleasure, leering at the girl: "Since we''re going to finish her off anyway, let us enjoy a bit first." "Definitely, definitely!" The rest nodded eagerly, their faces showing excitement. This woman was quite beautiful after all. S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After giving the girl a once-over, a trace of temptation arose in Wang Long''s heart, and he nodded: "I''ll go first!" With that said, Wang Long approached, lifted the girl, and headed to a room. Seeing Wang Long come over, Lin Yu struggled desperately, but bound hands and feet and with her mouth covered, she was powerless to resist. Lin Yu was filled with regret and annoyance¡ªhow could she have been so careless to be caught? What had shocked her even more was the ferocity of these men, who now wanted to kill her. Lin Yu felt immense regret; she shouldn''t have been so reckless. Lin Yu was a journalist for the Hua''an Morning News. Recently, she had noticed some street beggars. All these beggars were children, and clearly, they were disabled, with some even showing signs of injury, which Lin Yu had discovered. She decided to investigate this matter further. Since there was no progress yet and the investigation was conducted privately, she told no one about it. Through her research, she had gotten a rough idea about the beggars'' plight. The disabilities of these child beggars were man-made, all to make them more effective at begging. They were all controlled by someone! Discover stories with empire Having observed this, she planned to take a closer look at the beggars'' lair. But to her surprise, she was discovered and captured. And she had the habit of writing a diary every day; by accident, the diary was in her bag. Through the diary, they knew everything about her. That''s why they were so bold. Lin Yu regretted her carelessness! Rip! The sound of cloth tearing filled the air, and Lin Yu fought desperately, but it was in vain. She felt the intruder''s hands roaming on her body! Clenching her teeth, Lin Yu resisted with all her might, as tears slowly streamed down her face... In her eyes flickered a trace of despair. Meanwhile, not far away, Lin Tian told the driver to stop the car. After getting out, Lin Tian led Wang Lan to the front of the small courtyard, surveyed it, and said, "This is the place!" Chapter 100 Mission! Mission!_2 "This place?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Lan scrutinized the courtyard.The courtyard looked somewhat dilapidated, the environment obviously wasn''t very good. Seeing this scene, she couldn''t help but worry about her nephew. "What do we do now?" Wang Lan looked at Lin Tian. "What to do? Just go straight in, of course!" Lin Tian swept his gaze around and then headed straight for the courtyard gate. "Should we call the police?" Wang Lan hurriedly followed him. "Go ahead!" Lin Tian responded, before reaching the gate and kicking it fiercely. "Bang!" With a violent kick from Lin Tian, the already unstable gate was kicked open by him. Lin Tian planned to solve the problem through sheer force and find the boy to complete the task sooner. Force was the simplest and most direct method. "Bang!" Following a loud noise, the three lechers anxiously waiting inside the room were all stunned. "What''s going on?" After a pause, all three rushed out. The loud noise created by Lin Tian kicking the door also caused Wang Long inside the room to be taken aback, then he paused with a hint of confusion in his eyes. "What''s the matter?" Wang Long turned his head and yelled. "..." Silence! No one answered him. After a moment, Wang Long got up with skepticism and opened the door, only to find his three accomplices were no longer in the room. But the sounds of fighting were coming from outside in the courtyard. Feeling that something was amiss, Wang Long grabbed a steel pipe and walked out of the room. Lin Yu, who had already lost all hope, was also startled by the loud noise, and when she saw Wang Long leave, a glimmer of hope began to flash in her eyes of despair. Maybe, maybe there would be a miracle? After an anxious wait, faint screams seemed to reach Lin Yu''s ears. Hearing these faint screams, Lin Yu became extremely nervous. She knew something unexpected must have happened outside. But whose screams were those? Would someone come to save her? Or would she be captured by these people all the same? With her hands and feet bound and unable to move, Lin Yu waited anxiously. She felt as if time was passing so slowly... "Creak~!" In this agonizing wait, the door was opened again. Lin Yu widened her eyes and looked toward the door. At a glance, a mixture of shock flashed in Lin Yu''s eyes, followed by surprise. "Mmmph~!" Lin Yu''s mouth was sealed, so she could only keep whimpering, looking at Lin Tian with pleading eyes. The moment the door was opened, Lin Tian was also taken aback. Looking at the bound woman, and then at her clothes torn to shreds, Lin Tian was dumbfounded. What''s going on? "Mmmph mmmph..." Lin Yu kept whimpering at Lin Tian. After a moment, Lin Tian walked over and crouched down to untie Lin Yu. As he untied her, Lin Tian''s gaze occasionally stole glances at Lin Yu''s exposed bust. Such a beautiful pair of big white... rabbits! Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, even though somewhat embarrassed, Lin Yu couldn''t care less at this moment. Survival was what mattered most. Discover hidden tales at empire The moment the rope on her hands was untied, Lin Yu quickly used her hands to cover the exposed parts of her chest. Seeing this, Lin Tian felt awkward and said, "You can untie the ropes on your feet yourself." Afterward, he walked out of the room. Leaving the room, the image of that beautiful pair of big white... rabbits kept flashing in Lin Tian''s mind. Feeling a bit thirsty, Lin Tian swallowed saliva and muttered to himself, "Damn, I''m actually getting a reaction!" "Baby, are you okay!" At that moment, a voice tinged with crying came from another room, Wang Lan''s voice. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian extinguished the thoughts in his heart and walked over. As soon as he opened the door, Lin Tian was assailed by a pungent stench. It was the smell of urine and feces. Lin Tian frowned and saw that there were four or five children locked in the room. They all had vacant looks in their eyes, and some even appeared to have disabilities. At that time, Wang Lan was holding a two-year-old boy, weeping and saying something. The little boy''s legs were abnormally bent, obviously broken. After glancing at these children and recalling some news reports he had seen on television and online, Lin Tian had an idea of what was going on. It must be that the people outside were using these children to beg and make money. Seeing the dire state of these children, Lin Tian felt a surge of anger, and the restlessness that initially consumed him disappeared. The smell in the room was indeed hard to bear, so Lin Tian carried all the children outside. By the time Lin Tian had carried all the children out, Lin Yu had also come out of the room. She had covered herself with a piece of clothing by then. Although she could not help some exposure, it was much better than at the start. "What happened to those people at the beginning?" As soon as she came out, Lin Yu asked anxiously. "They are lying in the courtyard!" Lin Tian said, gesturing with his mouth toward the yard. After dealing with the situation, Lin Yu dialed 110 to call the police. Those four people were not the only ones in their gang; there were still a few who had not returned. The aftermath of this incident needed police handling, whether to arrest those people or to return the children to their parents. And before the police arrived, Lin Tian received a mission completion tone in his Sea of Consciousness. Since the mission was accomplished, Lin Tian decided not to linger. The police would surely require a statement if they found him there, which would be a waste of time. So, the moment the mission was completed, Lin Tian told Wang Lan he was leaving first. Although Wang Lan was somewhat taken aback, most of her concern at that time was for her nephew, so she didn''t say much. As Lin Tian walked not far from the courtyard, he saw a police car speeding towards the small yard. After glancing at the police, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness. As Lin Tian''s consciousness delved into the Sea of Consciousness, a synthesized voice rang out, "Task to personally rescue Wang Lan''s nephew is completed. Reward: 1 Supernatural Point." "Another Supernatural Point in the account!" Hearing this voice, a flicker of excitement passed through Lin Tian''s eyes. "Previously I had eight Supernatural Points, and with this one, now I have nine in total. Nine, and just one short of ten! Very soon!" Lin Tian murmured softly, looking down. After circling his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian withdrew his consciousness, opened his eyes, and thought to himself, "With this task done, I can go and enjoy Hua''an Mountain tomorrow." Before coming to Hua''an, Lin Tian already knew that Hua''an Mountain in Hua''an City was famous. Now that he was here, he naturally didn''t want to miss it. The only regret was that this time he was without a beautiful companion. "I''ll just tour for one day and leave. Then I can find Qianqian or Mengting to go with me!" With this thought, Lin Tian prepared to find a hotel to sit down. Having sat on the train for so long, Lin Tian was also a bit tired. The next afternoon, as Lin Tian was admiring the view on top of Hua''an Mountain, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. "Buzz buzz~!" Lin Tian took out his phone and saw the number. He was a bit puzzled. It was an unfamiliar number. After some thought, Lin Tian answered the call, "Hello!" "Is this Master Lin? I''m the person you saved yesterday. I, I need to ask for your help?" As soon as the call connected, a nervous and somewhat hurried female voice came through. "The person I saved yesterday?" Lin Tian was startled, then quickly thought of the white rabbit candy, no, the trapped girl. Is it her? What does she want from me? And how does she have my number? "My, my son went missing during a school camping trip, and we can''t find him anywhere. Can, can you help me, please? I''m begging you..." Seemingly agitated and breaking into tears as she spoke, Lin Yu began to cry. "Uh..." Lin Tian was dumbfounded. And in that moment, a synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission..." ................................................ S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 101 Not an Illusion! While Lin Tian was somewhat lost in thought, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind: "Mission: Help Lin Yu find her missing son. Mission Reward: One Supernatural Point!"Mission! Another one had actually popped up. Lin Tian was somewhat dazed. "Master Lin, I beg you, please help me!" While Lin Tian was lost in thought, Lin Yu''s tearful voice came through the phone. Hearing the voice from the phone, Lin Tian snapped back to reality and after some thought, he asked, "How did you get my number?" "Um..." Hesitating for a moment, Lin Yu replied with some hesitation, "I got it from that girl who came with you." Wang Lan! Lin Tian was speechless, unable to believe she had casually given out his number. He rolled his eyes. "Master Lin, please don''t take offense, I begged her for it, she had no choice but to give it to me," Lin Yu said tentatively, afraid that Lin Tian would take issue with it. "Alright, I know, it''s no problem." Even though he was a little annoyed, Lin Tian didn''t say much. After all, if it hadn''t been for Wang Lan giving his number to her, he might not have gotten this mission. "It''s a relief that you aren''t blaming me. I, I''m begging you to help my son..." Lin Yu''s anxious voice came through the phone. "Yes, I know. I''ll help you!" Since there was a mission, of course, Lin Tian was going to accept it. "Really! Thank you! Thank you so much!" Hearing Lin Tian agree, Lin Yu was taken aback and then cried out in ecstatic gratitude. "Yeah, okay, let''s leave it at that for now. I''ll call you when I''ve found him. This is your phone number, right?" "Yes, yes!" Lin Yu hurriedly nodded her head. Experience tales at empire "Okay then, we''ll be in touch later." With that, Lin Tian hung up the phone. After hanging up, Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders with a somewhat helpless expression. He had initially planned to spend the night at the mountain top to enjoy the sunrise the next day, but it seemed that plan was no longer possible. Thinking it over, Lin Tian took out three silver coins from his pocket and casually tossed them. Buzz buzz! sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The three silver coins rapidly spun on the rocky ground. After a dozen seconds, the coins stopped, and at the same time, a stream of information entered Lin Tian''s mind. Noting the information in his mind, Lin Tian nodded and then began to prepare for descending the mountain. A few minutes later, Lin Tian was sitting on the cable car, ready to go downhill. While on the cable car, Lin Tian felt his phone vibrate in his pocket again. Thinking it was Lin Yu calling, he took out the phone only to find that it was actually Bu Mengting calling. Surprised, Lin Tian answered the phone. As soon as he answered, Bu Mengting''s pouting voice came through: "Humph! Dead Lin Tian, where did you run off to!" "What''s the matter?" Lin Tian asked, somewhat startled. "What''s the matter, you ask? Do you know where I am right now?" Bu Mengting''s voice came through the phone with a hint of dissatisfaction. Taken aback, Lin Tian guessed with some surprise, "You''re not in Wu''an now, are you~!" "You''re clever. I''m here, where are you!" Bu Mengting said, sounding quite annoyed: "I asked your mom, and she said you went out to play. You go out to play and don''t even call me, that''s really not cool!" "Um..." Lin Tian was momentarily dumbfounded. After pausing for a while, he asked curiously, "How did you come over?" "Can''t I come over if I have nothing to do?" Holding the phone, Bu Mengting rolled her eyes, but despite this, she still explained, "I came to get my acceptance letter, and also to visit a big dummy!" "Heh heh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian grinned, feeling somewhat proud as he said, "You mainly missed me, getting the letter was just incidental, right!" "Keep dreaming! Humph!" Bu Mengting pursed her lips, looking disdainful. "Don''t deny it..." Chatting and teasing Bu Mengting, Lin Tian continued down the mountain on the cable car. Half an hour later, Lin Tian hung up the phone. By then, he had already arrived at the foot of the mountain. He glanced at the waiting taxis outside the scenic area and directly hailed one. Then, trusting his gut, he told the driver to start driving. ** Meanwhile, Lin Yu''s family was anxiously waiting and searching. But it was all in vain! Useless! Almost a whole day had passed with not a single clue. From the moment she received the news in the morning, Lin Yu hadn''t had a bite to eat or a sip to drink. She felt like she was on the verge of collapse. Especially after seeing the miserable state of those little boys at the beggar''s den the day before, her heart ached and felt constricted even more. She even suspected that it was those people taking revenge on her. "Phew," Lin Yu slumped onto the steps by the street, her lips pale and her complexion terribly haggard. With a sigh, her husband sat down beside her, extending his hand to gently pat her shoulder. "Aqing is gone, what are we going to do? Wuu wuu..." Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Yu burst into tears in her husband''s embrace. "Don''t worry, didn''t you say that Master Lin is very effective? He will help us!" He gently caressed Lin Yu, soothing her with a soft voice. Despite his words, he was very skeptical about the diviner that Lin Yu had mentioned. Especially when his repeated phone calls were not answered just now, his doubts only deepened. Meanwhile, Lin Tian felt that he was getting closer to his target by now. Naturally, he had seen the calls from Lin Yu, but he didn''t answer. Because answering them would be futile, and would instead require explanations. Lin Tian didn''t want to waste the time. ** Two hours later, night had fallen, and Lin Yu''s family had returned to their home. They were too exhausted, and it was useless to continue the blind search outside. At that moment, there were two police officers in their home. The officers were there to discuss the situation with Lin Yu''s family and to make some neighborhood inquiries. Looking at the two officers, Lin Yu asked expectantly, "Is there any news?" After a moment of silence, one of the older officers shook his head: "There''s no news yet, and we haven''t found anything on the cameras either. The main issue is we don''t know at what time he went missing. We are here this time to ask the neighbors and see if there are any clues." Lin Yu''s son had gone missing while attending a school picnic. But it was still unclear when exactly he disappeared. Had he gone missing during the picnic, on the way back, or after returning? It was totally unclear. Because at the time, the teachers had only made a cursory headcount. They weren''t sure when Lin Yu''s son had disappeared either. Hearing the officer''s words, Lin Yu felt a wave of dizziness and a sharp pain in her heart. "Phew!" Lin Yu took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, while muttering under her breath to boost her own morale: "There is still hope, there''s still hope! Master Lin! Master Lin!" Thinking of Lin Tian, a glimmer of hope flashed through Lin Yu''s eyes. Then she pulled out her phone once more and dialed Lin Tian''s number. "Beep... beep..." In her hopeful gaze, the phone vainly echoed with beeps. In the end, the phone message said: "Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable!" Still no answer! Lin Yu felt a wave of despair! She had dialed seven or eight times before, all going unanswered. Seeing Lin Yu like this, the two officers also felt a sting of pity. They were aware of Lin Tian. They had heard Lin Yu say that there was someone incredibly accurate with divination, who had promised to help find her son. However, hearing this made all the officers speechless. They were one hundred percent sure that Lin Yu had been deceived. Had it not been for the fact that Lin Yu was distressed over the loss of her son, some officers might have even taken her aside for a serious talk. Shaking their heads, despite feeling that Lin Yu was so superstitious, the two officers couldn''t really say much. Meanwhile, downstairs from Lin Yu''s apartment, Lin Tian took out his phone and saw the call from Lin Yu. After pondering, Lin Tian still didn''t answer. Because he was just about to reach Lin Yu''s house upstairs. Holding the little boy, Lin Tian asked, "Is your home right in front?" "Yes, my home is 302!" the little boy nodded vigorously. He was very cute. "Alright then, let''s go upstairs. Your mom must be very anxious!" Lin Tian said with a smile, quickly walking up with the little boy in his arms. If it weren''t for the little boy being terribly hungry and needing a meal, Lin Tian would have brought him home sooner. Arriving in front of apartment 302, Lin Tian set the little boy down and smiled, "Knock on the door." "Bang bang! Mommy, open the door! Mommy, open the door!" Accompanied by the knocking sounds, the little boy''s tender voice rose. "Mommy, open the door, mommy, open the door!" The little boy''s tender voice carried into the room. Hearing this voice, everyone was stunned. After a moment of astonishment, Lin Yu turned disbelievingly to look at her husband, only to see that he too was in shock. It wasn''t an illusion! Overwhelmed with ecstasy, Lin Yu rushed toward the front door, stumbling in her excitement. Everyone also looked at the door in stunned silence, in disbelief! Chapter 102 The First Superpower Created by Myself "click¡ª" accompanied by the sound of the door opening, lin yu, trembling slightly, opened the door and looked anxiously towards the doorway."mommy¡­" a tender voice rang out beside her ear. a cute little boy was looking up at lin yu. "aqing!" lin yu exclaimed excitedly as she squatted down and tightly hugged the little boy. "you''re back, you''re back, you''re finally back¡­" holding the little boy tightly, lin yu murmured non-stop, extremely emotional. the excitement was so intense that tears streamed down her face. everyone in the room stared blankly at the little boy. lin yu''s husband could hardly believe his eyes, and the two police officers were even more incredulous. so many people couldn''t find him, and now the little boy just suddenly appeared? how could that be? what had happened? after hugging the little boy tightly for a while, lin yu regained her composure and, looking at the little boy in her arms, asked with confusion, "aqing, where have you been these past two days? how did you come back?" "mommy, i was taken away by a bad man. later, an uncle brought me back. this uncle was really nice, he even bought me lots of yummy things!" the little boy, lin tian, clearly had a good impression of the man. "uncle?" lin yu paused, came to her senses, and then hurriedly asked, "where is that uncle now?" "over there!" the little boy pointed and started walking towards the stairwell. seeing the direction the little boy pointed, lin yu quickly turned to look towards the stairwell. as she turned her head, she saw lin tian preparing to leave. s~ea??h the nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. seeing lin tian, lin yu was startled, then regained her senses and quickly called out, "master lin!" lin tian paused his steps, waved his hand, and then quickly walked away. "hey, master lin!" lin yu tried to call out to lin tian again. but lin tian moved very quickly and disappeared in just a moment. at that moment, lin yu''s husband and the two police officers also came out of the room, just in time to see lin tian''s retreating figure. seeing the quickly disappearing figure of lin tian, lin yu''s husband turned his head somewhat stunned and looked at lin yu: "is he really the one you talked about..." lin yu silently nodded her head, not saying a word. seeing lin yu like this, her husband was extremely shocked. somewhat speechlessly stunned... are there really such extraordinary people in the world? not just him, even the two police officers were dumbfounded. is there really divination in the world? the two officers looked bewildered¡­ the moment lin yu stepped out, a task completion prompt sounded in lin tian''s sea of consciousness. it was precisely because the task was completed that lin tian left. there was nothing left for him to do. walking out of the stairwell, lin tian walked slowly towards the residential complex''s gate, while focusing most of his attention inside his sea of consciousness. as lin tian concentrated his attention in his sea of consciousness, a synthesized electronic voice sounded: "task of helping lin yu find her lost son completed, reward: one supernatural point." hearing this voice, lin tian looked at the floating golden supernatural points within his sea of consciousness. lin tian''s sea of consciousness is a white space, the particles like golden raindrops are the supernatural points. at this time, these golden supernatural points were slowly floating in the air. they were quite beautiful. lin tian glanced at these golden supernatural points, counted them, and a trace of joy flashed in his mind: "ten, finally ten supernatural points." it had taken so long, but he finally had ten supernatural points. it was the first time lin tian had accumulated so many supernatural points. he was a bit excited. thinking this, lin tian paused his steps, glanced sideways, then sat down on a stone bench in the green area of the residential complex. lin tian leaned back in the stone chair, closed his eyes slightly, and focused all his attention inside his sea of consciousness. as his consciousness concentrated in the sea of consciousness, lin tian called up the superpower menu. looking at the ten drops of golden supernatural points floating in the air, lin tian''s mind stirred. whoosh whoosh! as lin tian willed it, droplets of golden supernatural points quickly flew toward the superpower menu and eventually entered into the superpower menu. one drop, two drops... ten drops! eventually, all the supernatural points had entered into the superpower menu. the moment the ten supernatural points entered, the superpower menu trembled. after trembling for a while, the superpower menu stopped. at the same time, a flash of enlightenment crossed lin tian''s mind. superpower! he had obtained a new superpower. just now, he had used ten supernatural points to create a new superpower. ever since he was shot in wu''an, lin tian had started to doubt his own safety, that incident made him clearly realize that he was not invincible. since that incident, he had wanted a superpower, one that could alert him when he was in danger. but among the 20 abilities given by the system, there was no such ability. even the similar superpower "divination" could only predict others and not himself, and because of its low level, it couldn''t even predict people closely related to him. helpless, lin tian had no choice but to plan to create a superpower himself. but creating a superpower required ten supernatural points. he had waited so long, and now he had finally gathered enough supernatural points. lin tian closed his eyes slightly, feeling the new superpower, and murmured to himself, "precognition..." precognition! this was the new superpower lin tian had created this time! "finally finished!" he breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. at that moment, lin tian felt much more at ease. this precognition superpower, although it was the lowest level 1, could only predict major events, and not minute details. but lin tian was already very satisfied with that. as long as no irreversible incidents occurred, he was quite content. "moreover..." thinking this, lin tian''s eyebrows slightly raised, "this is just the lowest level of precognition. when i get more supernatural points, i can upgrade it." lin tian was quite pleased with this precognition ability. this level 1 precognition superpower was the type that normally doesn''t appear but indicates major events when it does. for lin tian, as long as no major events occurred, there was no problem. after thinking about the new superpower for a while, lin tian felt his pocket vibrate. lin tian took out his phone and saw that it was a call from bu mengting. lin tian got up and answered the phone while walking outside the residential area, giggling, "girl, missing me?" "hmph! not at all! i''m just asking when you''ll be back!" hearing bu mengting say this, lin tian chuckled, "girl, still saying you didn''t miss me!" "definitely not! definitely not!" bu mengting somewhat stubbornly refused to admit. "alright, alright! if you say so!" helpless, lin tian had to concede, but the smile he was suppressing made it obvious he wanted to laugh. "hey, when are you coming back, i''m really bored here!" after thinking for a moment, lin tian spoke, "i''ll be back tomorrow." "tomorrow? really?" bu mengting''s voice came through the phone somewhat excitedly. "of course, heh heh, you better get ready and wait for me to ''devour'' you!" lin tian raised his eyebrows, chuckling proudly. "tsk! pervert! i''m not talking to you any further!" bu mengting pouted, her face blushing slightly. "let''s talk about life, eh? by the way, how many times do you think of me in a day, and do you think about that..." stepping out of the residential area, lin tian stopped at the roadside, bantering with bu mengting while reaching out to hail a taxi. the next morning, after having breakfast, lin tian went to the train station and boarded a train returning to wu''an city. this time returning to wu''an, lin tian planned to ''deal with'' mengting. enjoy exclusive adventures from empire just thinking about bu mengting''s shy, adorable face made lin tian wish he could fly right back. Chapter 103 Honest Enough? several hours later, the train arrived in wu''an city, and lin tian walked out of the wu''an train station, carrying a small bag on his back.though bu mengting knew that lin tian was coming back today, lin tian hadn''t told her the exact time, intending to surprise her. leaving the train station, lin tian hailed a cab and headed home. when he got there, he found the house totally empty. even his sister, lin fang, was nowhere to be seen. once home, lin tian wasn''t in a rush to see bu mengting; instead, he opted for a shower first. it was july and the weather was hot; lin tian felt that his clothes were soaked through from his outing, and the stickiness was uncomfortable. after a refreshing shower, lin tian, wrapped in a bath towel, stepped out of the bathroom. he found bu mengting''s number on the table and dialed it. no sooner had the phone rung than it was answered. putting the phone to his ear and wedging it against his shoulder, lin tian wiped the water on his head with a towel while saying, "hello, mengting? where are you?" "i''m at home, where are you?" "come to my place and you''ll see!" lin tian chuckled. "you''re back?" after a moment of surprise, an excited voice came from the phone, followed quickly by a click as the call was ended. clearly, bu mengting was on her way over. setting down the phone, lin tian dried his hair, wondering whether to use a hairdryer, when suddenly there was a knock on the door. "coming." guessing it was bu mengting, lin tian responded and hurried over. as he opened the door, instantly, a beautiful girl in a blue skirt appeared before him. eyeing bu mengting up and down, a smile crept onto lin tian''s face. "hey, beauty, who are you looking for?" he said with a laugh. "i''m looking for a big dummy!" bu mengting rolled her eyes at lin tian, then, noticing he was only wrapped in a towel, asked curiously, "why aren''t you wearing any clothes?" "come in first." lin tian didn''t answer the question, instead inviting bu mengting inside. once bu mengting was in, lin tian casually shut the door, turned around, and looked at her seriously, "do you know why i''m not wearing clothes?" "why?" stunned by his serious demeanor, bu mengting stared at him blankly. "do you know the term used to describe a close relationship between two people?" lin tian said, his eyes twinkling mischievously at bu mengting. "what?" bu mengting was confused. "when describing a close relationship, people usually use the term ''open and honest.'' our relationship is so good, i naturally wanted to be ''open and honest'' with you." "ah! pervert!" startled, bu mengting quickly grabbed a pillow nearby and threw it at lin tian, then turned her head away, her cheeks blazing red. standing there in nothing but his skin, lin tian looked at her innocently, "you see, i''m not even wearing clothes, that''s quite ''open,'' right?" "put your clothes on now, you pervert! misusing idioms!" bu mengting''s face was as red as a ripe apple, embarrassed to death... seeing that bu mengting adamantly refused to turn around, lin tian shrugged with a look of resignation and re-wrapped the towel around himself, muttering, "sigh, such a handsome man is showing off his good looks for you, and you don''t appreciate it, what a waste!" shaking his head and sighing, lin tian then returned to his room. back in his room, lin tian put on his clothes. after lin tian re-emerged, seeing that he was indeed dressed, bu mengting breathed a sigh of relief. but she still glared at him disdainfully, pouting her lips and scolding, "exhibitionist!" lin tian scoffed, walked over, and plopped down next to bu mengting. he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and whined, "that''s not fair, you were the one who peeked at my ''jade body,'' you know!" "''jade body'' my foot, i feel sick hearing that! ugh!" bu mengting could hardly take any more of lin tian''s antics and rolled her eyes dramatically. "i don''t care, you''re responsible now!" "hey, what are you doing! be careful, my aunt might come back and see!" noticing lin tian''s sneaky moves, bu mengting immediately slapped away the hand that was making advances at her, speaking with some annoyance. "then let''s go to a hotel!" s§×ar?h the n?vel(f)ire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. lin tian teased her with a mischievous grin. "no!" "come on!" "no!" "then what do you want in order to agree!" in resignation, lin tian had to speak up. "hmm..." bu mengting''s pretty big eyes turned slightly, and then she turned her head to look at lin tian with a smile: "didn''t you say over the phone that you''re really good at cooking? you bragged so much last time. you said something like frying onions could bring someone to tears. now, i want you to cook for me!" bu mengting looked at lin tian with a smug smile, her face full of triumph: "i''ll let you stir-fry some greens for me, then let me taste the feeling of being on the grasslands!" "and then what?" lin tian asked calmly. "then?" bu mengting sized up lin tian from head to toe, a proud smile appearing on her face: "if you manage that, i''ll go to a hotel room with you, but if not..." at this point, bu mengting paused and looked at lin tian with a mischievous smile: "if you can''t do it, from then on you''ll do as i say! if i tell you to go east, you''ll go east; if i say go west, you''ll go west! hmph!" having said this, bu mengting slightly lifted her head, proudly wrinkling her little nose. lin tian smiled faintly and readily agreed: "no problem!" "huh?" lin tian''s quick agreement made bu mengting stunned. continue your adventure at empire could lin tian really be confident? but how could it be possible? how could you get the feeling of being in the grasslands from eating vegetables? what did she think it was? a tv drama? or a comic? don''t be ridiculous! bu mengting didn''t believe it at all. but seeing lin tian''s confident appearance, she began to have some doubts. having agreed to bu mengting''s challenge, lin tian then stood up and walked towards the refrigerator. after opening the fridge and looking around for a bit, lin tian turned his head to look at a somewhat dazed bu mengting: "we have some greens at home; i''ll make it now." as he said this, lin tian took out a bunch of greens from the fridge and headed straight to the kitchen. seeing that lin tian was actually serious, bu mengting was stunned for a moment with a look of astonishment. coming to her senses, she stood up and walked over. she wanted to see how lin tian would create the sensation of being in the grasslands with just some greens. upon arriving in the kitchen, bu mengting found lin tian very serious, thoroughly washing the vegetables. he seemed to be fully focused. with some doubt, bu mengting glanced at lin tian but didn''t say anything, just quietly watched. then bu mengting saw lin tian washing the wok, adding oil to stir-fry, adding salt. then he served the dish. very simple! in less than ten minutes, the dish was ready! "there''s nothing different, is there?" bu mengting looked at lin tian with some confusion. if there was any difference, it was that yang tian took the cooking process very seriously. it felt very immersive? but could being immersed be enough? bu mengting was skeptical. "phew!" lin tian let out a breath, relaxing his tightly strung nerves. turning his head to look at the puzzled bu mengting, lin tian smiled slightly: "beauty, have a taste..." saying this, lin tian found a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her. with just one chew, bu mengting was instantly stunned, her eyes widening, slightly bewildered. after a long moment, bu mengting came back to her senses, raising her head with a shocked look at lin tian: "this..." bu mengting''s face showed utter disbelief! Chapter 104 Beauty, do you want to meet up? seeing bu mengting''s stunned expression, lin tian smiled faintly, somewhat smugly, "how about it? does it meet your expectations?""this, this..." bu mengting stared at lin tian, wanting to say something but found herself tongue-tied, unable to utter a complete sentence for a while. after a moment of bewilderment, seemingly in disbelief, bu mengting once again bowed her head to pick up a piece of green vegetable and put it directly into her mouth. bu mengting chewed in her mouth. as she chewed, a light and slightly unripe taste spread from her tongue''s taste buds, then throughout her whole body. it was the taste of grass. as this flavor spread throughout her body, bu mengting felt as if her nose also caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. it was the fragrance of grass. far away, she seemed to hear the sounds of sheep baaing in her ears. her body also felt waves of warmth, which seemed like the sunshine on the grasslands bathing her. "whoosh whoosh!" it seemed like gusts of wind were blowing, carrying the fresh fragrance of herbs. the grasslands! even bu mengting thought she saw a lush green grassland. a breeze came, bending the grass slightly, and white little sheep appeared in her view, resembling small clouds. the wind blows over the grasslands, revealing cows and sheep... this was the grassland of bu mengting''s imagination! and now, she felt as if she was really there. since this was her second attempt, bu mengting quickly snapped back to reality this time. nevertheless, her eyes still couldn''t hide their astonished sparkle. "beautiful lady, how is it?" lin tian grinned at the still shocked bu mengting. "this, you, how did you do this?" bu mengting looked at lin tian with disbelief, her face filled with astonishment. "who am i? i am lin tian!" lin tian raised his eyebrows, a proud expression on his face. "i''m serious." "i am serious too!" "well, okay then!" knowing she wouldn''t get any more out of him, bu mengting simply rolled her eyes. seeing that bu mengting was not going to question further, lin tian chuckled, grasping bu mengting''s soft hand, "beautiful lady, how about we get a room, deal or no deal?" bu mengting''s eyes shifted, pouting her lips, "i want you to cook for me every day, agree to that and i''ll agree!" "no way, cooking these dishes takes a lot of effort, i can only do it once a month!" "once a week!" "no, just once a month!" lin tian stood firm. such cooking required his full concentration and was exhausting. "then every half a month!" seeing lin tian''s resolute attitude, bu mengting had to compromise. "alright, every half a month then!" lin tian could accept that. "hmm! let me taste it again, so delicious!" honestly a bit greedy, bu mengting bowed her head and started eating again. this time she ate very quickly, and in less than ten seconds, a plate of food had disappeared. despite this, bu mengting still seemed somewhat unsatisfied, really reluctant to part with it, and looked at lin tian with a pleading expression, "lin, tian, let''s cook another dish." "we agreed on half a month, we''ll talk about this detail later, i think we should first discuss life and our dreams," said lin tian, who had long wanted to take matters with bu mengting into his own hands and didn''t want to wait any longer. saying that, he took bu mengting''s hand and walked outside. "what''s the rush!" bu mengting, visibly unhappy, was pulled outside by lin tian. twenty minutes later, lin tian led bu mengting by the hand into the already prepared room. "you..." entering the room and knowing what was about to happen, bu mengting looked a bit nervous and lowered her head slightly. her pretty face was slightly flushed. having been through this not for the first time, lin tian was much more composed than bu mengting, and pretended to be calm as he looked at her, "shall we play house?" "ah? play house?" bu mengting looked up at lin tian, somewhat taken aback. "yes!" lin tian nodded as if it were obvious, seriously said, "now i''m the daddy, and you''re the mommy. it''s getting late, shouldn''t we do what mommies and daddies do?" sea??h th§× nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "you..." bu mengting rolled her eyes, speechless! "mommy, would you like to take a bath first, or should we go to bed now to discuss life and our dreams?" lin tian smiled mischievously at bu mengting. bu mengting gave lin tian a look and said, "i want to take a shower!" after saying that, bu mengting turned and walked towards the bathroom. after a few steps, she remembered something and suddenly turned back, looking at lin tian with a warning look, "you''d better not peek." lin tian quickly raised his hand, "i promise, i promise!" "hmph!" with a cold snort, bu mengting turned and walked into the bathroom. through the vaguely transparent glass of the bathroom, lin tian saw that bu mengting had already started undressing. then, the sound of rustling water started... unable to contain himself, lin tian stripped off his clothes, sneaked into the bathroom quietly, and walked in. ... after the passionate encounter, bu mengting lay sweetly on lin tian''s chest, her cheeks still flushed from the excitement before. lin tian gently stroked bu mengting''s smooth hair and looked down at her with a smile, "how was it? was i impressive?" bu mengting gave lin tian a look and turned her head away, ignoring him. seeing that bu mengting was ignoring him, lin tian didn''t want to let her off so easily. he grinned and said, "little girl, who would have thought you''d be so wild! look, my arm is all bruised because of you." saying that, lin tian lifted his arm to show. on lin tian''s arm were several purple bruises, along with numerous red marks clearly resulting from being grabbed. after glancing at lin tian''s arm, bu mengting''s face instantly turned red, her cheeks full of bashfulness. "don''t talk about it anymore!" remembering her wild behavior before, bu mengting was dying of embarrassment and buried her head into lin tian''s chest, too shy to look up. seeing bu mengting''s embarrassed reaction, lin tian felt even more smug and continued, "let''s not mention the arms, but i suggest you take a look at my back¡ª" "my back, it was a tragedy!" "alright, stop talking about it!" hearing lin tian''s words, bu mengting buried her head even lower, dying of shyness. "so tell me, am i impressive or what? say i am, and i''ll let you off the hook!" lin tian chuckled slyly, his hand slowly sliding down. feeling lin tian''s hand, bu mengting trembled all over, her body stiffened, and she murmured softly, "impressive!" "you should say ''master is impressive!''" "don''t touch me, okay, okay, i''ll say it, the master is impressive!" unable to stand it any longer, bu mengting finally pleaded. "that''s more like it!" lin tian''s lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. after resting for a while, since it was bu mengting''s first time, she couldn''t get up at all, so lin tian had no choice but to stay with her. feeling a bit bored, lin tian took out his phone and started browsing through novels. lying on lin tian''s chest, bu mengting noticed lin tian hadn''t moved for a while, and, curious, she lifted her head and saw him intently looking at his phone , so she curiously asked, "what are you looking at?" "reading a novel." lin tian was at an exciting part, looking somewhat thrilled. "what are you reading that''s got you so excited?" noticing the smile at the corners of lin tian''s mouth, the curious bu mengting sat up and looked towards lin tian''s phone . "nothing much. the novel is quite good. it''s thrilling." while speaking, lin tian clicked on the next chapter, only to discover it was the last chapter . "ah, it''s over!" lin tian said, slightly disappointed. he then clicked to donate a few bucks and left a message for the author to update faster. "what are you doing?" noticing lin tian''s actions, bu mengting asked curiously. "donating," lin tian casually donated 588 book coins and replied. "do you have to pay for reading?" bu mengting looked at lin tian with a puzzled face. bu mengting didn''t read novels much, and was not familiar with these things. "of course!" lin tian nodded affirmatively, "many of these authors are professional writers, with writing as their only job. if no one subscribes or donates, they wouldn''t have money for food. it''s quite normal to spend some money on books. it''s like how we spend money when we buy things from the supermarket. it''s also someone''s labor." "oh, i don''t understand!" bu mengting shook her head. discover exclusive tales on empire after donating, lin tian tossed aside his phone, flipped bu mengting under him, and looked down at her with a grin, "let''s not worry about these details, let''s discuss life''s ideals instead!" "ah, no..." half an hour later, bu mengting glared at lin tian fiercely, complaining, "i said no already, it hurts so much down there." "uh..." lin tian looked embarrassed. after thinking for a while, lin tian said, "are you hungry? should i go out and buy you something to eat? you can''t go out in your current state." "you still mention it, it''s all because of you!" bu mengting glared at lin tian straight away. "do you want to eat something?" knowing he was at fault, lin tian could only speak somewhat sheepishly. "not hungry yet, let''s talk about it later." "okay." it wasn''t until eight o''clock at night that bu mengting felt her body was not much of a problem, and she prepared to get up. in the meantime, lin tian had gone out to buy some dinner since it was so late and they were starving. "are you okay?" seeing bu mengting tentatively getting out of bed, lin tian asked with concern. bu mengting took a few tentative steps and shook her head, "no big problem, just a little pain." "that''s good." lin tian breathed a sigh of relief. since there was no major problem, lin tian and bu mengting decided to head back and then checked out of the room. walking out of the hotel, lin tian looked at bu mengting and asked, "shall we go back now, or do you want to walk around a bit?" "let''s walk around, and we''ll head back later." "alright, let''s take it slow." after walking a distance and feeling somewhat tired, they sat down on a roadside stone bench. across the street from them was a kfc, with many people going in and out of kfc. seeing kfc, bu mengting''s eyes lit up, she turned to lin tian and smiled, "let''s eat at kfc." "didn''t we just eat?" lin tian was slightly taken aback. "i just want to eat it!" bu mengting shook lin tian''s arm, whining. "no!" lin tian shook his head decisively, "it''s all junk food, and don''t you remember the kfc issue jr reported a while ago?" "isn''t that all in the past? besides, look, everyone else is still going," bu mengting pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved. "so if others go, we should go too? we can''t just follow the crowd. why is it that when something goes wrong with foreign kfcs, there are apologies and compensations, and then they strictly control food safety? that''s because people there immediately stop eating once a problem occurs. they boycott! that''s why these international fast-food chains are scared. as for us, a problem blows over and we still rush to eat without a care. we can''t blame others for not taking us seriously; it''s because we don''t take ourselves seriously!" saying this, lin tian''s expression looked somewhat angry, as if he was frustrated. "uh..." bu mengting stared blankly at lin tian, stunned for a moment, then said, "lin tian..." "what?" lin tian turned his head curiously. "i think you''re a bit of a zealot!" bu mengting said with a sneaky smile. lin tian glanced at her sharply and said irritably, "i''m just telling the truth." "alright, alright! we won''t eat then!" bu mengting said resignedly. "actually, eating ice cream is still fine." not wanting to upset bu mengting, lin tian said. "i was actually talking about ice cream. who knew it would unleash a whole lecture from you!" bu mengting rolled her eyes outright. "uh..." lin tian was taken aback. he felt a bit embarrassed. "come on, you big dummy!" getting up, bu mengting gently teased lin tian''s nose and took his hand as they crossed the street. Chapter 105 Mengmeng the Adorable Foodie crossing the underground passage, lin tian arrived inside the kfc across the street.as he pushed open the glass door, a blast of cold air greeted him. "it''s so cool in here!" bu mengting said, holding lin tian''s hand and smiling sweetly as she enjoyed the air conditioning in the store. the kfc had turned on the air conditioning, naturally making it cooler than the outside temperature. "you sit first, okay? i''ll line up to buy the ice cream!" bu mengting cheerily pointed to the empty seats nearby. the prospect of eating ice cream seemed to excite her. "i''ll go," lin tian said, glancing at the long queue in front of the counter. "no need! i''ll do it myself. go on, you sit down!" bu mengting insisted, pushing lin tian to sit down on one of the seats. helpless, lin tian had no choice but to sit down. after thinking for a moment, he took out a black wallet from his pocket. "it''s not necessary, i have money!" noticing lin tian''s actions, bu mengting shook her head, blinked her beautiful large eyes and turned to walk towards the counter. stay tuned to empire seeing bu mengting walk away, lin tian reluctantly put his wallet back. lin tian''s hands rested boredly on the tabletop as he propped up his chin and looked around. this kfc was quite busy, with nearly all the seats filled. whew! feeling the entrance door of the kfc open again, lin tian subconsciously glanced over. he saw a group of three men and three women come in. after briefly observing these six individuals, lin tian didn''t pay them any more attention and looked away. bored, he surveyed the interior of the store before his gaze returned to bu mengting. upon looking at her, lin tian''s brow slightly furrowed, feeling a slight displeasure in his heart. peeking! lin tian noticed a young man in his twenties in the line next to bu mengting, repeatedly glancing her way. his gaze frequently swept over her long, beautiful legs. bu mengting, wearing a blue skirt, perfectly showcased her beautiful legs, which looked very tempting. feeling a bit annoyed, lin tian tapped on the table, but after thinking it over, he decided not to get up. it was just someone taking surreptitious glances; he couldn''t very well go up and beat him up for that. after a while, bu mengting finally came over with the ice cream. that''s when lin tian noticed that bu mengting was holding three ice creams. lin tian glanced at the three ice creams in bu mengting''s hand and looked up in surprise, "why did you buy three?" "what, not enough?" bu mengting asked, a bit puzzled. "no, i mean, there are two of us, and you bought three..." lin tian said, pointing at the three ice creams in bu mengting''s hand. hearing lin tian''s words, bu mengting chuckled and sat down. handing over the ice cream in her left hand, she smiled sweetly, "here, this one is for you. i know you like taro flavor." "and these two!" bu mengting said, placing the other two ice creams in front of her with a giggle, "these two are mine!" "can you really eat two at once?" lin tian asked in astonishment. "of course!" bu mengting nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world, holding her head high with pride, "my strength is more than just this!" lin tian''s lips twitched slightly, unsure of what to say. after a while, he could only shake his head, "all right, then, let''s eat." while speaking, lin tian picked up the ice cream and began eating it. after just a bite, a voice full of satisfaction reached lin tian''s ears from bu mengting: "mmm, it''s so delicious!" "uh..." lin tian turned his head in surprise and caught bu mengting happily eating her ice cream with a blissful expression. happiness! lin tian indeed saw happiness on bu mengting''s face. and in just that short while, the ice cream in bu mengting''s hand had already been eaten by over half. lin tian stared at her blankly, his expression somewhat astonished. sensing something was off, bu mengting paused mid-bite and turned her head to look at lin tian with some confusion. bu mengting''s beautiful big eyes shimmered with a hint of bewilderment as she curiously asked lin tian, "what''s wrong? why are you looking at me like that?" "nothing, nothing..." lin tian said with an embarrassed smile, pointing at the half-eaten ice cream in her hand, "i just didn''t expect you to be such a warrior, and the expression on your face when eating ice cream is so exaggerated. it''s just..." "you don''t understand anything!" bu mengting wrinkled her little nose, looking at lin tian with dissatisfaction: "i was on my ''auntie''s visit'' recently, and i didn''t eat ice cream for a whole week, so of course, i have to enjoy it today. besides, this ice cream is so delicious! mmm, i''m going to order two more later!" with that said, bu mengting took another big bite, her face filled with satisfaction. lin tian was speechless; he now understood that bu mengting was a food enthusiast. he wondered how she could eat so much without gaining weight. "how did i never notice her ''food enthusiast'' attribute before?" lin tian murmured to himself softly. "what?" bu mengting, who was eating her ice cream, seemed to have heard lin tian saying something and turned her head with a puzzled look. as soon as bu mengting turned her face towards him, lin tian laughed, took out a tissue, and wiped the ice cream off the corner of her mouth with a slight smile: "i said you''re almost turning into a big calico cat!" "oh!" bu mengting pouted, her expression somewhat awkward as she said: "i often get like this when i eat too quickly." "speechless..." lin tian shook his head and gently wiped her little mouth. bu mengting''s little mouth was very rosy and lustrous, looking very charming like cherries. looking at bu mengting''s tempting little mouth, lin tian really wanted to take a bite. distracted, his hand paused slightly. "are you done?" noticing lin tian''s pause, bu mengting looked up curiously and asked. lin tian chuckled without saying anything, continuing to eat the ice cream in his hand. in the next ten minutes, lin tian still hadn''t finished his ice cream, but bu mengting had already eaten four. "phew! so satisfying!" after downing four ice creams, bu mengting finally took a breather, touching her little belly with a look of utter contentment as if she had feasted on rare delicacies. lin tian, his chin propped on his hand, watched her with a smile: "mengting!" "what?" bu mengting slowly caressed her little belly and turned her head to look at lin tian with a puzzled face. lin tian, still supporting his chin and observing bu mengting''s movements, said with a mischievous grin: "i''ve realized that ''food enthusiasts'' can actually be quite cute!" "what, no! i''m not a food enthusiast!" bu mengting glared at lin tian with dissatisfaction, stopping the rubbing of her belly and sitting up straight. sea??h th§× novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "being a food enthusiast is quite a cute attribute, you know? it''s totally ''mengmeng da'' for a beautiful girl!" lin tian chuckled. bu mengting gave him a cold look, clearly displeased: "that''s not true, i''m not!" "uh..." just as lin tian was about to say something, suddenly a voice came from behind. Chapter 106 Hit You, Huh! "hello, could i have your phone number? i think we have some connection, i mean nothing else." it was a woman''s voice.lin tian, curious, turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman asking a group of people for their phone numbers. seeing this middle-aged woman, lin tian felt she looked familiar. after a moment, he remembered she was one of the three men and three women he had seen entering earlier. the middle-aged woman successfully got several numbers from that table, and then she walked over to another table where a young woman in her twenties was sitting alone. "hello, could i have your phone number? i think we have some connection, i mean nothing else," the middle-aged woman continued. glancing at her, the girl ignored her. "are you giving me the number or not!" apparently angered by the girl''s response, the middle-aged woman said irritably. the girl still didn''t respond. "are you going to give me the number or not!" the middle-aged woman shouted angrily, as if the girl had committed some heinous crime. "what do you want?" the girl asked, unafraid and frowning at the middle-aged woman. "give me the number!" the middle-aged woman glared at her again. "no!" the girl turned her head away. "are you giving it or not!" again, the middle-aged woman roared. her eyes widened, her expression almost man-eating! "no! i don''t even know you!" the girl yelled, then got up to leave. "demon!" suddenly, the middle-aged woman roared and lifted the chair beside her, smashing it down on the girl''s head. "bang!" the chair struck the girl''s head directly. the girl fell to the ground instantly! "you demon!" the middle-aged woman shouted, lifting the chair again and smashed it down hard. bang! the girl, just getting up, was struck down again to the ground. lin tian was dumbfounded by the sudden scene. what, what is happening? isn''t this middle-aged woman too exaggerated, asking for numbers and then assaulting when refused? seeing this, lin tian was somewhat stunned. whew! while lin tian was in a daze, he noticed five people rushing through the crowd toward the scene. three men and two women. lin tian recognized these five people as the friends of the middle-aged woman because they had entered together at the beginning. when lin tian thought these five were coming to stop the middle-aged woman, their next actions shocked him once again. "demon! you should go to hell! you demon!" one of the bald men rushed over and fiercely kicked at the girl''s head! the movement was fierce! there was absolutely no holding back! this was beating to kill! "demon! demon!" while lin tian was still shocked, the other four started kicking and punching the girl on the ground. their actions were clearly intended to be lethal! no mercy at all! fierce! too fierce! such a bloody scene! seeing this, everyone present was stunned. even lin tian was taken aback; these people were beating to kill! too much! it was completely senseless! too arrogant! s~ea??h the n?vel(f)ire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. after a moment, people snapped out of it and started shouting, "stop, stop beating her!" as they spoke, a few people tried to rush forward to intervene! "don''t come any closer, or i''ll kill anyone who does!" seeing people wanting to intervene, the bald man menacingly yelled, holding the chair. seeing the bald man''s action, everyone paused their steps. fierce! the recklessness of this group had scared everyone; no one dared to step forward now. while everyone else was afraid, lin tian was not. coming to his senses, he quickly rushed over. he had seen everything clearly; it was entirely the group''s fault! and these people were too uninhibited! to dare to kill someone in a crowd! but just as he took a few steps, lin tian paused, his expression slightly startled as an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his mind: "mission: rescue the beaten girl. reward upon completion: 1 supernatural point." a mission now? after a pause, lin tian quickly rushed forward again. if he didn''t intervene, the girl would be beaten to death! seeing everyone else intimidated, a gleam of triumph flashed in the bald man''s eyes as he swung the chair down towards the girl''s head. suddenly, he saw a young man charging toward him. seeing lin tian approaching, the bald man paused and yelled, "come any closer, and i''ll kill you!" lin tian didn''t slow down and approached quickly, delivering a slap, "i''ll slap you, motherfucker!" "slap!" lin tian''s slap sent the bald man flying! bang! the bald man fell to the ground, his left cheek swelling up instantly. stunned! seeing this scene, everyone was somewhat stunned. after a moment of astonishment, the bald man''s accomplices regained their composure and charged toward lin tian. lin tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly kicked out! bang! a man behind him was kicked flying by lin tian''s foot. whoosh! spotting a chair smashing toward his head, lin tian dodged by tilting his head and then charged forward, his shoulders shaking. he instantaneously sent another man flying. lin tian was very fast and knocked down five men in no time. angered by these people''s cruel intentions, lin tian went a bit harder this time, all of them severely injured on the ground. "huuh!" having knocked all these people down, lin tian let out a sigh of relief and crouched down to check on the girl. at that moment, the girl was lying on the ground covered in blood, her eyes tightly closed, clearly having passed out. how ruthless! noticing the condition of the girl, lin tian shook his head subconsciously. in less than ten seconds, these men had beaten her into unconsciousness, her head bleeding profusely. while lin tian was checking on the girl, the surrounding crowd also reacted. they took out their phones, some called the police, others summoned ambulances. the police station was very close by, so police arrived quickly. after understanding the situation, they asked lin tian to go and give a statement. lin tian wasn''t surprised¡ªhaving been to the police station multiple times, he no longer felt the initial nervousness. ** one day later, at five in the afternoon, lin tian, who was watching tv at home, suddenly heard a knock at the door. "coming!" lin tian responded, then walked over to the door in his slippers, clattering as he went. as he opened the door, he saw bu mengting standing outside, dressed in a green sports outfit, looking youthful and beautiful. upon seeing that lin tian was only wearing boxer shorts, bu mengting pursed her lips, put her hands on her hips, and glared at him with big eyes, "lin tian, you didn''t forget you were supposed to go running with me this afternoon, did you?" "ah? oh..." lin tian was startled, then quickly explained, "not at all, i was actually waiting for you." "you''re waiting for me dressed like that?" bu mengting pointed unimpressedly at lin tian''s colorful boxer shorts. "oh, it''s just so hot today, i can change quickly. just wait a minute." as soon as he finished speaking, lin tian rushed back to his room in his slippers, clattering away. as he ran, lin tian muttered, "phew, almost forgot¡ªgood thing i didn''t go out earlier." the two had agreed this morning to go running at the city sports square in the evening. due to his urgency, lin tian quickly changed into a white basketball outfit in less than a minute. "let''s go!" lin tian came up to bu mengting with a playful smile. "i''ll let you off this time! let''s go!" saying so, bu mengting took lin tian by the hand and walked outside. as they walked, bu mengting curiously asked, "is that girl okay now?" "it''s nothing serious, just some concussion." lin tian knew whom bu mengting was asking about and responded. mengting was clearly asking about the girl who got beaten up yesterday. upon hearing that the girl was alright, mengting breathed a sigh of relief. then, remembering something, she said somewhat angrily, "hmph! those people are so hateful!" "their brains must be scrambled!" upon thinking of those people, lin tian muttered. "alright, let''s stop talking and hurry up, or we''ll miss the bus." realizing it was getting late, mengting urged. "then let''s hurry up," lin tian had no objections. then, the two of them quickened their pace. an hour later, at city sports square, mengting was panting heavily inside the track field, sweating profusely; even the tips of her hair were wet from sweat. "huff, huff!" mengting gasped for air, hands on her thighs, looking at lin tian with a weary face, "i can''t do it anymore, i can''t run anymore!" "you can''t even run four laps? didn''t you say you were going to challenge me?" lin tian looked at her, completely at ease. lin tian seemed very relaxed, having the ox power technique, he didn''t consider this distance a challenge at all. "who would compare with a monster like you!" mengting rolled her eyes at him, feeling genuinely exhausted, then she plopped down onto the grass. seeing mengting sit down, lin tian hurried over to help her up, admonishing, "you just had intense exercise, don''t lie down immediately to rest; walk around slowly." helplessly, mengting could only walk slowly with lin tian''s support, regaining her strength. being close to mengting, lin tian could smell a faint sweet scent¡­ it was the scent coming from mengting. glancing at mengting, lin tian revealed a slight smile, gazing at her fondly, "mengting¡­" "what?" mengting looked at lin tian weakly, her pretty face slightly flushed from the intense exercise. "do you know what ''fragrant sweat'' means?" lin tian asked her, smiling cheerily. "huh?" mengting looked at lin tian puzzled, unsure of what he was going to say. noticing the confused look in mengting''s eyes, lin tian smiled slightly, still looking at her fondly, "you''ve sweat all over, i just smelled a bit of sweat¡­" pausing slightly, he continued, still smiling, "i smelled a sweet scent. now i finally understand where the term ''fragrant sweat'' comes from!" "so it turns out that a beauty''s sweat all smells sweet! haha!" saying this, lin tian laughed proudly. giving lin tian a look, mengting said, speechless, "i don''t even know what you''re laughing about!" "i''m serious, i really think you smell sweet." lin tian spoke earnestly. ... continue reading on empire lin tian supported mengting as they walked for a while. once he felt mengting''s breathing stabilize, he let go. then the two of them sat down on the lawn. "come on! come on!" as soon as they sat down, a series of enthusiastic cheers came from not too far ahead. hearing the cheers, mengting curiously looked in that direction and guessed, "there must be a competition going on over there." "definitely!" taking a glance at the dense crowd across, lin tian nodded in confirmation. there was a basketball court about a hundred meters in front of lin tian and mengting, where many people were gathered, and cries and cheers were heard intermittently from inside. mengting loved lively scenes. hearing the spirited cheers ahead, she also wanted to see what was happening and, grasping lin tian''s hand, ran forward, "let''s go take a look too." Chapter 107 Just Find Me when bu mengting dragged the two of them to the basketball court, the area outside the court was already surrounded by a dense crowd.unable to squeeze in, and lacking the height, bu mengting had no choice but to bounce and peek inside. "i''ll handle it!" lin tian said with a slight smile, pulling bu mengting''s little hand as they squeezed in. lin tian found a spot where the crowd was thinner and pulled bu mengting through, instantly broadening their view and allowing them to take in the game at a glance. lin tian''s gaze shifted to the scoreboard¡ª66:30. the score of 66 to 30 was quite a surprise to lin tian. following a quick glance around, he had an inkling why. the two teams were mismatched in strength. looking closer, lin tian noticed that the red team had two incredibly strong players, clearly levels above the other eight on the court, almost reaching a professional standard. with two professional-level experts, the red team easily overshadowed the green team, whose members were significantly better than average people, but still far from the two pros. under the leadership of their two aces, the red team was nearly slaughtering the green team. despite the green team''s desperate defense, it was useless. after a glance, lin tian quickly became bored and diverted his attention. terrible! way too terrible! facing such a game, lin tian couldn''t muster any interest. now, lin tian''s strength was theoretically eighteen times that of an ordinary person. even if his skills were poor, he could easily overpower these players. competing with them with his own strength was like an adult competing against a child. this was precisely why lin tian rarely played basketball anymore. there was no challenge, no interest. so, while others screamed excitedly for the basketball skills of the two pros, lin tian looked somewhat bored. child''s play! it was all just child''s play! "so cool!" at that moment, red team''s number five performed a beautiful dunk, exciting bu mengting so much that she couldn''t help but scream out loud. number five on the red team was one of those two professional aces. seeing bu mengting cheer for another man, lin tian felt a small pang of jealousy, and disdainfully curled his lip, "what''s so great about that." although lin tian''s voice was quiet, bu mengting still heard it, and she turned curiously to look at lin tian, "lin tian, can you play basketball?" "basketball?" lin tian shook his head, feigning a lonely expression, "brother has been out of the jianghu for a long time, but the jianghu still has legends of me!" "..." bu mengting was at a loss for words, rolled her eyes, and then ignored him, continuing to watch the game. bu mengting enjoyed watching, so lin tian just went along with it, albeit bored. but the match failed to capture his interest, so lin tian''s gaze wandered now and then, looking to see if there were any beauties. suddenly, lin tian''s eyes lit up. a beauty! among the green team''s cheering squad, lin tian spotted a beauty dressed in a white suit. she had an air of efficiency about her, clearly an elite white-collar worker. at that moment, the girl was frowning at the situation on the court, evidently dissatisfied with what was happening. after staring at the girl for a moment, lin tian, wary of bu mengting noticing his stolen glances, dared not look too long, only sneaking peeks occasionally. then, ten minutes later, the referee blew the whistle signaling the end of the game. as expected, the red team had slaughtered the green team. lin tian didn''t care about the outcome at all, but he felt a bit regretful that the beautiful woman left after the game ended. "what are you looking at? let''s go back," bu mengting asked curiously, sensing that lin tian was watching something. "ah, nothing," lin tian retracted his gaze, feeling somewhat guilty. "let''s go back, it''s getting late." "yeah, sure." ** at nine in the evening, the weather no longer held the heat of the day, and lin tian was taking a stroll outside all by himself. originally, lin tian wanted to invite bu mengting to join him, but she happened to go out with her classmates that evening. having no choice, lin tian had to go for a walk alone. wandering around aimlessly, lin tian''s gaze frequently darted left and right. in the summer, girls wore less clothing, and it was a time for him to feast his eyes. stay updated through empire after walking a distance, lin tian paused, staring slightly stunned at the girl in front of him. "isn''t that the girl i saw at the basketball court? what a coincidence!" the girl approaching lin tian was in her mid-twenties and was the same white-collar woman he had seen on the basketball court. while lin tian was still dazed, the girl had already walked past him, leaving behind a faint scent. very pleasant. "a+ grade!" lin tian muttered to himself after catching the scent. shaking his head, lin tian decided to keep walking forward, a beautiful encounter simply passing by. but he had only taken a few steps when he stopped abruptly, his expression turning to one of surprise: "this..." just then, a synthesized electronic voice sounded in lin tian''s mind: "mission: help lin lili win the enterprise league championship. complete mission reward: one supernatural point." a mission? a mission had actually appeared? with a look of astonishment on his face, lin tian paused for a moment before he hurriedly turned around to look back. turning around, lin tian instantly saw the flickering red light on lin lili. that was the light of a mission! it was indeed her! after a brief pause, lin tian quickly gave chase, "hey, wait up!" calling out, lin tian quickened his pace and chased after her. lin lili, who had been thinking about the basketball game during the day, was startled by the voice behind her and subconsciously stopped, turning around. upon turning, lin lili saw a young man, about eighteen or nineteen, quickly approaching her. lin tian came up to lin lili, glanced at her, and said, "hello!" s~ea??h the n??elfir§×.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "uh, hello, who are you?" lin lili looked at lin tian with a puzzled expression. "hello, i saw you at the basketball court today," lin tian said straightforwardly. "oh!" after a brief pause, lin lili nodded and then continued with a puzzled look, "do you need something?" lin tian didn''t beat around the bush and asked directly, "do you want to win the enterprise league championship?" lin lili didn''t speak, just quietly watched lin tian. seeing that lin lili didn''t seem to want to respond, lin tian had no choice but to continue, "if you want to win the championship, just come to me!" "you? are you good at basketball?" lin lili looked at lin tian curiously. "super good!" lin tian raised an eyebrow, boastfully declaring. hearing lin tian''s words, a smile appeared on lin lili''s face as she sized him up, "but they have two professional experts, and your height..." lin tian had grown a bit lately and now stood at one meter seventy-five, but that still seemed too short. moreover, lin tian didn''t look particularly sturdy, and lin lili wasn''t convinced that he could make a difference. noticing lin lili''s expression, lin tian''s mouth curved into a faint smile, "don''t believe me? watch closely!" saying that, lin tian jumped with force. lin lili initially watched lin tian jump with a calm expression. but as she saw lin tian ascending higher and higher, she involuntarily widened her mouth in disbelief and craned her neck, looking up in astonishment... Chapter 108 Cooperation high! so high!lin lili''s mouth hung open, her face a picture of astonishment! high! way too high! at first, she didn''t pay much attention. but as lin tian jumped higher and higher, and finally, even his ankles surpassed her neck, witnessing this scene, lin lili was truly stunned. what an incredible leaping ability! lin lili herself was 1.68 meters tall, and lin tian''s jump almost cleared her head. which means, he was jumping nearly two meters straight up! that''s too exaggerated! thump! lin tian landed on the ground and looked at the astonished lin lili with a slight upturn of his lips, and a smiling gaze, "how does it feel?" lin lili stared at him blankly, taking a while to come back to her senses, and with a speculative look, she sized up lin tian: "your jumping ability is really good!" "it''s nothing much!" lin tian pursed his lips, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners. "but playing basketball isn''t just about jumping high; if your skills aren''t up to par, i''m afraid you still won''t be able to beat them," replied lin lili, who by now had recovered from her initial shock, shaking her head at lin tian. "i''ve got more than just leaping power," lin tian''s gaze swept lightly, and then he reached out to grab lin lili''s hand and pulled her to run forward quickly, without looking back, "come on, let me broaden your horizons!" "hey, what are you doing, let go!" lin lili, being pulled forward by lin tian, tried hard to shake off his firm grip, but couldn''t break free at all. "there''s a basketball court up ahead, i''m taking you there to show you my skills." lin tian kept a tight hold of lin lili''s hand without letting go, undisturbed by her protest. but actually, lin tian was deliberately taking advantage of lin lili. "the hand is quite soft..." holding lin lili''s small hand, lin tian secretly reveled. seeing that she couldn''t break free, lin lili reluctantly followed lin tian and ran ahead quickly. a few minutes later, lin tian holding lin lili''s hand briskly entered a neighborhood. this neighborhood was not far from lin tian''s home, and lin tian remembered there was a basketball court inside. "what are we doing here?" lin lili slowed down, watching lin tian warily. at the same time, she pulled her hand out of lin tian''s grip. lin tian didn''t resist this time, allowing her to pull her hand away, turned his head, and looked at lin lili: "there''s a basketball court inside; i''m going to show you what i can do. let''s go!" with that, lin tian strode forward, not waiting for her. seeing lin tian had left, lin lili hesitated for a moment before following after him. she wasn''t worried about what lin tian would do to her outdoors. following lin tian, after a minute or two, lin lili did indeed see a basketball court ahead. and at that moment, there were a few people playing and shooting baskets on the court. glancing at these people, lin tian hurriedly approached, shouting, "hey, bro, let me have a go." the players were just shooting hoops without playing a match, so one of them immediately passed the basketball to lin tian. lin tian caught the basketball with a slap, turned around to look at lin lili, raised his eyebrows, and smiled slightly, "beauty, watch closely." with that, lin tian started dribbling and rushed towards the basketball court. dribble, dribble! lin tian dribbled swiftly, arriving outside the three-point line. lin tian''s eyes scanned the basketball hoop before accelerating and fast breaking towards the basket. whoosh! lin tian moved very fast, like a gust of wind! "be careful!" seeing lin tian''s movements, a cry of alarm suddenly rose from the court. with lin tian charging so fast, it seemed as if he couldn''t stop, his body barrelling straight towards a young man! "ah!" everyone''s eyes bulged wide open! their hearts clenched! just when everyone thought the two were about to collide, then their eyes widened even further, heads tilting back in disbelief. fly! lin tian actually flew up! just as lin tian was about to collide with that person, his body flew up into the air all of a sudden! whoosh! lin tian''s body soared, leaping directly over the man''s head! "hey!" lin tian, clutching the basketball tightly, bent his body into an arc, the whole figure like a stretched bow, brimming with power! continue reading at empire hey! sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lfire .net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. bang! a sound of impact against the hoop erupted! lin tian slammed the basketball hard through the hoop! swish! the ball shot through the net, the red mesh quivering nonstop! thump! lin tian''s hand loosened, and he landed on the ground. silence! the scene fell dead silent! everyone looked at lin tian, dumbfounded. and the person lin tian had flown over was even more foolishly staring at him. astonishment! seeing this astonishing scene, lin lili too was completely taken aback. although lin tian had already demonstrated his remarkable leaping ability just before, it was nothing like the violence and suaveness of the move he had just performed! "clap clap!" lin tian dusted off his hands somewhat and, smiling, walked up to the astounded lin lili, "how about that?" "uh..." a bit startled, lin lili nodded, "not bad!" with that move alone, lin tian had already proved himself to be very impressive. "then let''s go, we''ll talk outside!" saying this, lin tian grabbed lin lili''s hand and hurried outside. having shown off his skills, lin tian was worried about getting entangled by the basketball players and, not wanting to waste time, he chose to leave. when they saw lin tian leaving, the people on the court finally came to their senses, abuzz with talk: "damn! who is that kid! he''s so exaggerated!" "yeah, too awesome!" "have you seen him before?" "no, this is the first time." ... having walked a distance with lin lili, lin tian finally let go of her hand, a bit reluctantly. the two began to discuss the collaboration. after concluding the discussion, they agreed that lin tian would go to the blue sky gym to get to know his teammates at nine the next morning. and lin lili also offered lin tian a reward of five hundred yuan if they were successful in winning the championship. indifferent about the money, lin tian simply wanted to complete the task, so he did not haggle and agreed right away. the next morning after breakfast, lin tian told bu mengting that he was going to compete, joining the green team that they had watched the day before. "ah?" hearing lin tian''s words, bu mengting looked a bit stunned and gazed at lin tian in surprise, "why are you suddenly going off to play basketball?" lin tian raised an eyebrow, tossed his head, and let out a melodramatic sigh, "sigh, this master had already retired, but for the sake of your love of basketball, i have no choice but to make a comeback!" bu mengting was at a loss for words, rolling her eyes, "stop joking, alright? are you serious?" "of course i am!" lin tian nodded solemnly. "you know how to play basketball?" bu mengting looked at lin tian skeptically. "i''m really good, okay!" lin tian rolled his eyes, saying, "by the way, i need to get to know my teammates a bit at nine this morning." saying this, lin tian pulled out his phone and looked at it, then said to bu mengting, "it''s getting late, i have to leave soon." Chapter 109 Lets Gesture "did you really join that green team from yesterday?" seeing lin tian didn''t look like he was joking, bu mengting looked at him in astonishment."of course, why would i joke about that?" lin tian rolled his eyes, looking exasperated. "eh, really? then i''ll go with you and have a look." realizing lin tian wasn''t kidding, bu mengting immediately offered. she had yet to see lin tian play basketball. "okay, just let your uncle know, i''m about to leave." "mm, alright." ... ten minutes later, lin tian and his companion left the residential area, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the blue sky gymnasium. the blue sky gymnasium was precisely where the team lin lili talked about yesterday trained. ** while lin tian was on his way to the gymnasium, inside the blue sky gymnasium, the green team was training in a somewhat listless manner. thump, thump! sounds of basketballs bouncing echoed across the court as the team practiced shooting. however, despite training, the team''s mood wasn''t high at all. everyone appeared lethargic. "ai, it''s pointless, we can''t win!" a player casually shot the ball and then walked off the court with a glum face to sit down. many of his teammates were sitting beside him, many among them not showing much enthusiasm. hearing his comment, another person chimed in, "we can''t help it, their no.3 and no.5 are too strong." "exactly, exactly! what''s the point of a professional coming here to show off!" "for real!" this comment resonated with many people. it was frustrating to be outplayed. sear?h the n??elfir§×.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "it''s allowed to hire foreign players, and it''s not like we haven''t done it," someone else interjected. "our foreign player is nowhere near as good as theirs!" another person rolled their eyes, seemingly annoyed. actually, this time they had also hired a foreign player. however, the foreign player they hired was simply no match for the opponent''s. "shh! stop talking! he''s coming!" someone suddenly exclaimed. following their words, a tall, well-built young man, standing at 186 centimeters, walked in. when wang jian came in and noticed the low morale of his teammates, he shook his head, feeling depressed himself. wang jian had agreed to come and help the green team play basketball, and at first, everything was fine. under his leadership, the team advanced to the finals with ease, only to face the formidable red team. in wang jian''s opinion, the two players from the red team had the skills to play in the cba. the lack of enthusiasm among his teammates made wang jian''s training also seem lackluster. he shot a few basketballs and then went off to rest. this amateur team had no coach; usually, it was wang jian who took on that role. but now, even wang jian lacked the spirit. we can''t win! that was the consensus of the entire team. when lin lili arrived at the basketball court, she immediately felt the team''s demoralized spirit, as everyone clearly had lost hope. defeated before the battle! seeing everyone''s lack of energy, lin lili shook her head, walked to the center of the court, and clapped her hands forcefully: "come on! lift your spirits, we haven''t lost yet. i have good news for you, i have found a superstar player!" a superstar player? hearing this, everyone was stunned, wang jian also looked up at her, clearly surprised. seeing everyone''s interest piqued, lin lili spoke loudly, "this person is amazing. with him joining us, we may not necessarily lose!" "really? is he that good?" "who is it?" the place erupted with a buzz of discussion. curiosity was piqued following lin lili''s announcement. "manager lin, where is this expert?" "yeah? where is he?" "he''s on his way here!" after saying this, lin lili suddenly felt her white purse vibrate. she took out her mobile phone to look, then raised her head, "he''s already arrived." as she spoke, lin lili walked outside while answering the phone, "hello? you''ve arrived? good, i''m coming out to meet you now." seeing lin lili leave, the team immediately burst into discussion, everyone guessing who the expert could be. even wang jian was curious. he had heard of all the skilled players in wu''an city, yet he had no idea who this could be. five minutes later, lin lili returned with two people. when lin lili came back, everyone''s gaze turned toward the people following her. bu mengting was a woman, and despite her beauty, she was instantly ignored by everyone. then, all eyes shifted to lin tian. seeing lin tian, everyone was stunned. after a moment of shock, someone pointed at lin tian and looked at lin lili with a bewildered expression, "manager lin, is he the super player you invited?" "yes!" lin lili nodded as if it were obvious. "is he up to it?" a voice of doubt rang out. lin tian looked nothing like the super player they had imagined. a minimum height of 1.8 meters was expected, what''s with being only 1.7 meters? seeing lin tian, everyone started to have their doubts. glancing over the group, lin tian''s gaze landed on the person who had started speaking, and he beckoned with his hand, "if you want to know if i''m up to it, let''s just have a go!" lin tian''s gesture made everyone pause, and then they started to buzz with amazement. this newcomer was a bit arrogant! zhu long stared at lin tian, sneered, then pointed at himself, looking at lin tian with a mocking smile, "you want to challenge me?" "that''s right!" lin tian replied calmly, looking at him. "huh..." zhu long scoffed, stood up, and looked at lin tian coldly, "fine, let''s see what you''re made of!" zhu long seemed a bit irritated, feeling that lin tian was too arrogant. "show him what you''re made of, big boss zhu!" the teammates, already skeptical of lin tian, naturally sided with zhu long seeing the newcomer''s arrogant attitude on arrival. waving his hand, zhu long didn''t say a word. he glanced at lin tian, sneered, and took the lead walking toward the basketball court. lin tian followed calmly. seeing this, everyone else followed, ready to watch their one-on-one game of 21. inside the basketball court, zhu long bent down to pick up a basketball and looked at lin tian with a hint of scorn while holding the basketball, "you do know how to play 21, right?" "i do!" lin tian nodded calmly. "first to five points, your turn to start!" zhu long said, tossing the basketball to lin tian. lin tian caught the basketball from zhu long with a slap. holding the basketball, lin tian tossed it back to his opponent and shook his head calmly, "you start. if i served, you wouldn''t stand a chance!" stunned! hearing lin tian''s words, zhu long''s expression froze. not just zhu long, everyone on the sidelines was also taken aback. "if i served, you wouldn''t stand a chance!" such arrogance! hearing this, all the teammates on the sidelines felt a wave of dissatisfaction! this guy was too arrogant! even wang jian, upon hearing lin tian''s words, could only shake his head. zhu long''s skills were among the top few on the team, and even he couldn''t guarantee a win against him in a game of 21. and this guy... with that thought, wang jian just shook his head. continue your saga on empire Chapter 110 Can This Kid Fly? startled for a moment, zhu long snapped back to attention, nearly laughing with anger as he looked at lin tian and nodded repeatedly, "alright, alright! i''ll serve, i''ll serve. today, i''m going to play you so hard you''ll shit yourself!"anger! zhu long was truly enraged! from the start, when lin tian pointed at his nose and beckoned him with a finger, zhu long felt displeased, thinking this guy was too arrogant and didn''t know how to behave. and now, the other party dared to speak such arrogant words, zhu long was truly furious. he swore he would thoroughly crush this kid! no mercy! the match began amidst zhu long''s seething anger, a one-on-one game. "bang, bang!" zhu long bent slightly at the waist, dribbling the basketball in his hands, his gaze fixed intently on lin tian''s eyes. lin tian spread his hands, his gaze fixed on the basketball in his opponent''s hands. whoosh! suddenly, zhu long made a rapid sprint to the left! noticing zhu long''s movement, lin tian quickly stepped to the left to cut him off! whoosh! but what lin tian didn''t realize was that zhu long''s move was a feint. the moment lin tian moved left to defend, zhu long paused in his step, swiftly switching the ball behind his back. following zhu long''s actions, the basketball was instantly transferred from his left hand to his right hand. and at that moment, lin tian was still on zhu long''s right side. whoosh! zhu long made a quick break, speeding past lin tian in a flash! his move was clean and sharp! "good!" seeing this scene, zhu long''s teammates started clapping and cheering loudly. however, wang jian, witnessing the scene, just shook his head. amateurish! lin tian''s moves were too amateurish, his stance wasn''t standard, and he was too easily deceived by fake moves! this didn''t at all resemble the performance of a professional basketball player. it wasn''t even on par with an amateur. wang jian couldn''t understand where lin lili found such a ''skilled player.'' seeing how easily zhu long broke through, even he was slightly taken aback. zhu long thought that since this player was brought in by lin lili, he must at least be some sort of skilled player, but the man seemed unable to withstand a single blow. despite the surprise, zhu long didn''t stop; he quickly stepped forward, reaching just outside the two-point line, where he halted and jumped for a shot. woosh! with a light flick of his wrist, the basketball left his hands and in the instant the ball left his grasp, zhu long knew it was a good shot. the feel of the ball was just perfect! just as zhu long was preparing to celebrate, suddenly he saw his teammates'' faces showing a look of horror. "watch out!" someone couldn''t help but shout. "what''s wrong?" zhu long was confused. and in that moment of zhu long''s confusion, he suddenly felt a shadow over his head. woosh! smack! a loud smack of the basketball resounded! a hand suddenly appeared from behind! and slammed down hard! heading straight for the basketball! smack! chase-down block! the basketball was slapped away by lin tian, flying off the court. looking at the basketball bouncing away outside the court, zhu long''s face was a picture of shock, his expression one of disbelief. experience tales at empire blocked it? how is that possible? zhu long didn''t see clearly, but the players outside the court saw the whole scene clearly. the moment zhu long made his breakthrough, lin tian seemed a bit stunned, apparently not expecting to be breached so easily. but after a brief stupor, lin tian instantly snapped back to reality and hurriedly turned to chase after him. fast! lin tian''s speed was too fast! just as zhu long jumped to take the shot, lin tian also leaped up instantly, jumping even higher than zhu long¡ªby nearly half a body length. and just as the basketball was leaving zhu long''s hand, lin tian''s hand swatted it away! the scene fell into silence, except for the sound of the basketball slapped away by lin tian bouncing around the court incessantly, the scene fell into silence. everyone stared at lin tian with a somewhat astonished look. such incredible leaping ability! such astounding reaction speed! such incredible speed! with a look of astonishment, wang jian realized that his estimation of lin tian might have been slightly off. just based on that move alone, lin tian was quite formidable. "yay! good!" after a moment of being stunned, bu mengting instantly regained her senses and began excitedly jumping up and down to cheer for lin tian. cool! that block from lin tian just now was so cool! bu mengting hadn''t expected lin tian to actually be quite skilled at basketball! with a slight smile, lin tian picked up the basketball and continued the game. by this time, zhu long had also recovered, and his expression when looking at lin tian became much more solemn. since zhu long''s attack had failed, it was time to switch from offense to defense; this time it was lin tian on the attack, zhu long on defense. "thump, thump!" lin tian dribbled the basketball slowly, in no rush to attack. from zhu long''s previous offense, lin tian realized he had underestimated zhu long. or perhaps he had overestimated himself. indeed, despite his great strength, his skills were far inferior to zhu long''s, and it was easy for him to get shaken off. even his dribbling could be easily stolen. dribbling the basketball slowly, after thinking for a moment, lin tian suddenly had an idea. if he couldn''t outplay him with skills, then he would play to his own strengths. play with strength! with that thought, lin tian narrowed his eyes and walked over slowly, dribbling the ball. seeing lin tian approaching, zhu long attempted a tentative steal, but lin tian shielded the ball with half his body, making it impossible for him to reach. meanwhile, lin tian kept moving step by step towards the basket. seeing lin tian coming, zhu long tried to hold his ground, but despite zhu long''s size, he couldn''t withstand lin tian. he was pushed back step by step by lin tian. one step after another! outside the two-point line, lin tian suddenly stopped. seeing lin tian abruptly halt, zhu long was taken aback, looking at lin tian oddly. and in the instant zhu long was distracted, the muscles in lin tian''s body tensed up as he let out a loud shout and jumped up instantly! whoosh! lin tian''s body soared into the air! lin tian got higher and higher! leaping over zhu long, he rushed towards the basket with a roar! s~ea??h the n?vel_fire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. like a heavyweight bomb, he soared upwards! watching lin tian soar, everyone''s mouths fell open in shock¡ª "does, does this kid have wings?" Chapter 111 The Astonishing Lin Tian "huff!"lin tian''s body soared into the air, roaring towards the basket! in the midair, his body curved like a powerful bow! "hey!" close to the basket, lin tian glared his eyes, shouted loudly, and chopped downward fiercely with the hand clutching the basketball! huff! bang! the basket shuddered! the basketball was brutally slammed into the net by lin tian! axe dunk! a dunk filled with dominance! whirling~! due to lin tian''s immense power, the basket shook, even causing the whole basketball stand to slightly wobble. if the gym''s basketball stand hadn''t been of good quality, it might have been knocked down by lin tian! dumbstruck! everyone was somewhat dumbstruck. staring blankly at lin tian. dominance! filled with power! lin tian''s dunk was a rush of sheer dominance and power! everyone was somewhat blankly staring at lin tian. seemingly in disbelief. asians are not matched physically to caucasians and africans in the nba, rarely seeing such violent dunks due to physical limitations. but now... everyone was somewhat blankly staring at lin tian, his dunk almost comparable to those of nba dunking legends! too violent! s~ea??h the n?velfire(.)net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. too explosive! bu mengting''s mouth hung open, staring blankly at lin tian! the beauty of that power left her spellbound! cool! supremely cool! after a moment, bu mengting snapped out of it, her face lit with excitement as she jumped up to shout, "lin tian, you''re so cool! i love you!" bu mengting was extremely excited, even her face flushed red. "uh..." hearing this, lin tian was taken aback, his face rarely showing a hint of shyness. his hands released the rim, lin tian landed on the ground, looking at the excitedly jumping and dancing bu mengting, lin tian was somewhat at a loss for words. was this girl a bit too excited? bu mengting''s excited cries caused those around to snap back to reality, then all stared somewhat oddly at lin tian. even wang jian, looking at lin tian, had a very serious expression in his eyes. this physical fitness, this flexibility, this leaping ability, too, too good... startled for a moment, the game continued. since lin tian won the last round, he was to serve the ball again this time. seeing lin tian about to serve, zhu long''s expression was extremely solemn. with his focused eyes, it was clear he regarded lin tian as an unprecedented formidable opponent. but power lay there, no matter how seriously zhu long relaxed, he was still overwhelmed by lin tian''s forceful dunks time after time, scoring each point. lin tian wasn''t playing a skill game, he was playing a power game. playing with power, lin tian utterly crushed him! thus, after taking the ball, lin tian charged towards the basket again and again, reaching the basket and performing forceful dunks over and over! the moves were brutal, the technique crude, but they were unstoppable. watching lin tian repeatedly ravage the basket, everyone was also left speechless. monster! seeing lin tian, the word ''monster'' emerged in everyone''s minds. lin tian, with a height of 175 cm and not looking strong, was somehow continuously pushing back zhu long, who was over 180 cm, and then dunking over him time after time. what else if not a monster? with lin tian''s relentless fierce dunks, he quickly scored five baskets. the score is in, the game is over! 5-0, lin tian outclassed zhu long. "lin tian, you were amazing!" as soon as the game ended, bu mengting couldn''t contain her excitement and ran over, throwing her arms around lin tian''s neck. "uh..." lin tian was a bit stunned, and after a moment he said, "you seem really excited today!" "of course! you have no idea how cool you just looked!" bu mengting let go of lin tian, her face alight with excitement. bu mengting''s beautiful eyes sparkled, "i love watching games, and i even scream excitedly when i watch the nba. you don''t understand, you were so cool just now, just like those nba stars!" as he watched bu mengting in a daze, it was then that lin tian realized she was indeed a fan. while lin tian and bu mengting were chatting, zhu long shook his head and walked off the court. seeing zhu long approaching, his teammates went over to pat him on the shoulder, offering comfort. feeling his teammates'' concern, zhu long shook his head, "it''s okay, i was indeed outplayed." after pausing for a moment, he looked back at lin tian, then turning to his teammates with a helpless expression, he said, "his physical fitness is just too good, strong as an ox." "indeed! unbelievable!" his teammates nodded in agreement. terrifying! lin tian''s physical fitness was terrifying. at that moment, lin lili was almost squinting from smiling so much. she knew lin tian was capable, but she didn''t expect his strength to be so formidable, his physique so impressive. "it''s just that his skills seem very rough. if it weren''t for his physical strength, we''d have completely outplayed him," someone spoke up. "exactly!" ... "okay, let''s not talk about that anymore. he''s coming," lin lili noticed lin tian approaching and cautioned everyone. hearing lin lili''s words, everyone closed their mouths and stopped talking. respect! discover hidden content at empire at that moment, the respect lin tian earned with his strength was recognized by everyone. seeing lin tian approach, lin lili smiled confidently at the crowd, "well, you all have seen lin tian''s strength. i believe with him on our team, we won''t necessarily lose. everyone needs to have confidence." "..." no one spoke, although lin tian''s skills had won everyone''s approval. they didn''t feel the need to fawn over lin tian as if they were very welcoming. seeing that no one was speaking, wang jian looked at lin tian and said, "your physical condition is excellent, but your skills are too poor; i''ll train you a bit later. that okay?" hearing wang jian say this, lin lili slightly smiled and turned to lin tian to explain, "wang jian is a guest player we invited; he''s from the provincial basketball team, you can learn a lot from him." provincial basketball team? upon hearing lin lili''s words, lin tian was momentarily taken aback, then nodded, "okay." lin tian also knew his skills were weak compared to those who played professionally. "great! let''s start training then." ... half an hour later, the basketball court echoed with wang jian''s exclamation, "damn, what are you made of, you''ve improved so fast! it''s a waste if you don''t go to the nba!" meanwhile, outside the court, many teammates unconsciously gathered around, everyone staring at lin tian in shock. once again, lin tian had stunned them. terrifying! everyone was astounded by lin tian''s frightening ability to learn! when wang jian started training lin tian, he barely knew anything, his skills very rough. it could be said he had nothing but strength. but as time passed, lin tian''s strength rapidly improved. lin tian''s skills visibly progressed. the rate of improvement was like a rocket soaring! eventually, lin tian could even hold his own technically with wang jian. astonished! everyone was shocked by lin tian! they looked at lin tian as if he were a monster. and for lin tian, this change felt natural, having an eidetic memory, superior analytical abilities, and triple the reaction speed of a normal person, he absorbed it all quickly. the same happened when lin tian went ice skating with bu mengting, starting from scratch to later showing off various tricks at the ice rink, all thanks to lin tian''s superpower. so lin tian wasn''t surprised at all. but others didn''t know about lin tian''s superpower, so seeing the change in him, they looked at him as if he were a monster. truly astonished! it was overly dramatic! feeling it was a bit too much, lin tian slightly held back, not letting himself appear too exaggerated. yet, even so, his performance still attracted incredible exclamations from the spectators. Chapter 112 is here from morning until five in the afternoon, lin tian had been training inside the gymnasium.even eating was done there. the meals arranged by lin lili were quite good. over the course of the day, lin tian''s skills had improved a lot. he wouldn''t dare compare himself to nba stars, but at the very least, his techniques were now better than wang jian''s. of course, to avoid coming across too exaggerated, lin tian only showed that he was slightly inferior to wang jian. but even so, everyone present was astounded. the speed of his improvement was just too outrageous! wang jian kept insisting that lin tian should consider pursuing professional basketball. lin tian just casually brushed it off. how could that be possible? his main reason for coming this time was just to complete a mission. at five o''clock, when the training session ended, lin tian bid farewell to his teammates and left. having spent the day together, lin tian had also become more familiar with them. lin tian was not the type to act superior, and since he truly had the skills, his teammates accepted him. find adventures at empire therefore, the initial discomfort they had at the beginning quickly disappeared. even zhu long and lin tian were now joking and laughing with each other. "lin tian, don''t forget about tomorrow''s match," lin lili specially reminded him as he was leaving. "i know, don''t worry," lin tian nodded, then left the gymnasium together with bu mengting. ** the next day, at four in the afternoon, lin tian, who was watching tv in the living room, heard a knock on the door. lin tian got up to open the door and found bu mengting standing there. seeing that lin tian was still in his large shorts, bu mengting looked at him somewhat astonished: "why haven''t you changed yet?" "isn''t it a bit early? the match isn''t until five," lin tian felt it was too soon. "it''s not early, it''s always good to arrive ahead of time. didn''t manager lin say so yesterday? we have to be at the court by four-thirty," bu mengting reminded him. "alright then." after thinking it over, lin tian decided to change into his clothes and get ready to leave. yesterday, when he left, lin lili had given him a set of green team''s uniforms. just as lin tian had finished changing his clothes, his sister lin fang had just come back from outside. seeing lin tian dressed in a basketball uniform, lin fang curiously looked at him: "big bro, where are you going?" "to a match!" lin tian replied offhandedly while adjusting his clothes. "which match?" lin fang continued to ask curiously. "it''s at the city stadium, seems like some sort of corporate league match," bu mengting answered from nearby. "ah? a corporate league match held at the city stadium? i heard from a classmate that it''s really fun to watch. big bro, if you''re playing, i want to go watch too," lin fang said excitedly after a moment of surprise. "why would you go? go play on your own!" lin tian, who was tying his shoelaces, replied without even looking back. "no, wait for me! i''ll just change my clothes, it won''t take long," lin fang said as she scampered towards her room with a patter of footsteps. helplessly, lin tian had no choice but to wait for her. after ten minutes, lin tian shouted at lin fang''s door with an impatient face, "hey, are you done yet?" "done, done, i''ll be quick!" the voice of lin fang came from her room. another five minutes passed. "are you ready or not?" "yes, yes!" ... after another five minutes, lin tian could no longer wait and angrily said, "i''m giving you ten more seconds. if you don''t come out, i''m leaving without you." "i''m coming! i''m coming!" at that moment, the door to lin fang''s room opened, and she walked out dressed in a white dress. as she walked out, lin fang also complained to lin tian, "big bro, you really have no patience. how will you wait for girls in the future? right, mengting?" with that, lin fang gave bu mengting a slight smile. "tsk!" lin tian snorted coldly, looking at her with dissatisfaction, "look how long you took to change clothes, a full twenty minutes. and mengting would never be like you!" "you don''t understand!" lin fang pouted. "enough, stop dawdling, let''s hurry," lin tian urged. under lin tian''s urging, they went downstairs and then hailed a cab to the city sports bureau square. at first, the ride was smooth, but after ten minutes, the taxi couldn''t move. they were stuck in a traffic jam! looking at the dense rows of cars ahead, lin tian was speechless. the traffic was crawling, moving only a hundred meters per minute. sear?h the nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. after another ten minutes, there was still no relief from the traffic jam ahead. checking the time, it was nearly five o''clock, so lin tian suggested, "driver, can we take a different route?" "let''s see when we get upfront. right now, it''s not even possible to do a u-turn," the driver said with a hint of helplessness. "beep beep..." at that moment, the phone inside bu mengting''s bag rang. lin tian, who was in his basketball uniform, had nowhere to keep it. lin tian took the phone and saw that it was lin lili calling. after answering, lin lili''s somewhat reproachful voice immediately came through, "lin tian, how come you haven''t arrived yet? the game is about to start." "we''re stuck in traffic, there''s not much i can do!" lin tian sounded helpless. "hurry up, try to find a way," after saying a few words, lin lili hung up the phone. ten minutes later, the driver finally found an opportunity to turn into a side street and attempt a different route. it started out smooth, but after a while, the traffic was at a standstill again! there was another traffic jam ahead. the driver got out to inquire and returned to report there had been an accident. there was no moving forward. after waiting for ten minutes, lin lili''s phone call came once more, "hello, you still haven''t arrived? the game is about to start." "there''s been an accident up ahead¡­" lin tian sounded utterly helpless. another ten minutes passed, during which lin lili made a few more calls, urging him to hurry as the game had started. after waiting a bit longer and seeing time slipping away with no sign of the traffic clearing, lin tian gritted his teeth, opened the car door, said a quick word to bu mengting and the others, and then started running briskly towards the city sports stadium. waiting like this would be slower than just running there. ** on the other side, the match had already begun. without lin tian, the green team was being thrashed by the red team right out of the gate. in just the first five minutes of play, the green team had lost 15 points while managing to score only 3. "oh! there seems to be a significant gap in strength between the two teams! just five minutes into the game and the red team is already leading by 12 points. okay, a pass from the red team''s number three! where is that going? number five! beautiful! an alley-oop! beautiful pass, beautiful shot, assembly line-like coordination! so beautiful! okay, another two points scored, and now the red team''s points have reached 17." at this time, the announcer on the sidelines was passionately recounting the on-court action, glancing at the scoreboard, the announcer said, "the gap in strength between the two teams remains as vast as ever. if the green team doesn''t have another trick up their sleeve, this match may just become another showcase for the red team." "alright, let''s see if the green team has any strategies." "toot!" just then, the referee blew the whistle. looking up, the announcer explained, "oh, the green team has called a timeout. it looks like they can''t hold on. what will they think of to resist the fierce onslaught of the red team?" on the sidelines, lin lili gathered the players together and instructed, "lin tian is stuck in traffic, he''s running here now. hold on for a bit. while lin tian isn''t here, try to stall as much as possible when we have the ball on offense, and on defense, be more active to prevent the score gap from widening too much." upon hearing lin lili''s words, everyone nodded. without lin tian, this was the best strategy they had. then the game resumed. with lin lili''s instructions, the green team didn''t rush as before and tried to delay time as much as possible. noticing the change in tactics, the announcer on the sidelines also picked up on it and shouted into his microphone, "let''s observe the green team''s change, oh, the green team has been playing more steadily since the timeout, this is a good sign. hmm? the green team seems to be stalling? what are they waiting for? this won''t be of much use, will it?" as time ticked by second by second, the green team held steady, so while the score gap continued to widen, it wasn''t as drastic as in the beginning. by the end of the first quarter, the score stood at 30:15, with lin tian still absent. after a short break, the game continued. when the second quarter began, the green team managed to hold their ground, but in the eighth minute, a series of outbursts by the red team instantly crushed the green team''s morale, and the score gap widened once again. "oh! beautiful! the red team has just scored 10:0. can the green team hold on? the score is now 55:30. oh, it looks like the green team is giving up." following the red team''s surge, the green team''s morale was shattered. a few consecutive mistakes allowed the red team to further increase the lead. on the sidelines, lin lili anxiously watched the clock, frequently glancing at her watch, "why hasn''t lin tian arrived yet? what''s taking so long!" lin lili was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. "huff, huff!" at that moment, a series of panting breaths were heard, as lin tian, gasping for air, patted lin lili''s shoulder, "i, i''m here!" startled for a moment, lin lili turned around, her face lighting up with surprise at the sight of the breathless lin tian. covered in sweat from the strenuous exercise, lin tian''s head was steaming. seeing lin tian in that state, lin lili asked with concern, "can you play?" "no problem." catching his breath, lin tian nodded. "good!" with that, lin lili quickly signaled to the referee for a timeout. "toot!" with the sound of the whistle, the game was paused. there was one minute left in the second quarter. noticing the situation, the announcer began his commentary, "oh! the green team has called another timeout. let''s see what countermeasures they have. okay, the game resumes, wait, something''s different, the green team''s spirits have risen dramatically. what happened? oh, they''ve made a substitution, number 8 is on the court? let me see, who is number 8? oh, green team''s number 8 is a lad named lin tian. i haven''t seen him before. could he be a foreign aid recruited by the green team? he must be an expert, otherwise, why would the green team''s mood have lifted so much after number 8 came on? let''s then see how number 8 performs." hearing the announcer say this, the spectators all turned their eyes towards the green team''s number 8, towards lin tian. was this the expert the green team was waiting for? Chapter 113 Where Did This Guy Come From? the game continued, and after lin tian entered the field, the morale of the green team had visibly soared.they knew of lin tian''s freakish abilities. with him there, they might just have a chance. seeing lin tian take the field, the red team was also somewhat surprised, guessing that he might be a foreign aid brought in by the opposition. however, they weren''t very worried, as the score was already 60:33, with a large lead in their favor. they didn''t believe one person could turn the tide for the opposing team. besides, lin tian didn''t look that impressive. they didn''t take him seriously. taking a deep breath, lin tian turned to check the score, which was 60:33, a full 27 points behind. "it''s a big gap," lin tian murmured to himself. narrowing his eyes, lin tian made up his mind that he had to push hard, and first and foremost, he needed to boost the morale. thinking this, lin tian looked at his teammates and shouted, "brothers, fight them!" "okay!" the team members on the field shouted in unison. with lin tian, their confidence was much boosted. hearing the loud shouts from the green team on the field, the spectators were all surprised. the green team was full of momentum, unlike before when their morale hadn''t been that high. everyone turned their gaze to lin tian. was this young man really so formidable? had the team''s morale surged just because he arrived? amid the audience''s speculations, the game began. the green team served the ball. zhu long, outside the court, threw the ball to wang jian. after catching the ball, wang jian dribbled quickly towards the red team''s home court, running and shouting to his teammates, "hurry, hurry!" whoosh! hearing wang jian''s call, the other four members of the green team quickly rushed towards the red team''s home court. meanwhile, the red team hurriedly fell back in defense. whew! someone tried to steal the ball from wang jian, but he swiftly changed direction and passed them by. whoosh! wang jian was very fast, reaching beyond the red team''s three-point line in an instant! reaching beyond the three-point line, wang jian halted his steps, swung the hand holding the basketball fiercely! following wang jian''s move, the basketball flew towards the backboard as if it were a blazing red flame. noticing wang jian''s movement, everyone was stunned. the commentator also paused for a moment, then immediately picked up the microphone and commented, "what is wang jian trying to do? is he shooting, or is it a pass? but if it''s a shot, the ball is too off; it won''t even touch the basketball hoop, and if it''s intended as a pass, it''s too high. is it a mistake?" seeing wang jian''s action, the red team was stunned, then instinctively thought it was a mistake. just as the basketball was about to hit the backboard, red team''s number five hurriedly shouted, "watch the rebound!" everyone looked up to wait for the basketball to hit the backboard and fall. but just then, suddenly, a figure appeared in mid-air. slap! a palm caught the flying basketball! then swung it fiercely! the commentator paused for a moment, then hastily added, "who is this? oh, my god, it''s number eight from the green team, he jumps so high! he''s caught the basketball. this is... a slam dunk!" "boom!" replying to the commentator''s words was a loud sound as lin tian reached out, grabbed the basketball, and smashed it hard into the hoop! "dunk! beautiful! this is an alley-oop! it''s unbelievable, can green team''s number eight fly?" said the commentator, looking incredulous at the scene. "beep!" the whistle sounded, and after a pause, the referee signaled that the two-point basket was good. as soon as lin tian entered the game, he executed a beautiful alley-oop that instantly electrified the atmosphere at the venue. the place instantly came alive. the spectators around were all looking at lin tian with shining eyes, number eight from the opposition scored beautifully with that move! being scored upon like that, the red team was a bit stunned at first, then their expressions started to become serious, realizing they might have underestimated the opponent''s number eight. "all right, let''s focus!" red team''s number three clapped his hands, calling everyone to pull together. the offense and defense switched. this time, the red team served the ball. number three took the serve, then slowly dribbled towards the green team''s court. by then, the green team had already set up their formation. "bang, bang!" arriving outside the green team''s three-point line, red team''s number three steadily dribbled the basketball, in no rush to attack. number three noticed that because of lin tian''s recent play, the green team''s morale had surged. meanwhile, his own team''s morale had dropped because of that same play. "we must crush the opponent''s morale!" seeing this, number three instantly made up his mind. and the best way to crush the opponent''s morale was to dominate their number eight in a one-on-one showdown! with that thought, number three''s gaze shifted to lin tian. noticing number three''s gaze, lin tian was puzzled. what did he mean? could he be planning to break through from here? while lin tian was distracted, number three had already started moving toward him, approaching two meters in front of lin tian, number three gestured for his teammates to back off. noticing number three''s hand signal, the sideline announcer was also surprised, then shouted excitedly, "what does red team''s number three mean, oh, he''s signaling his teammates to move away, could it be that he wants to challenge green team''s number eight one-on-one?" s§×arch* the ¦Çovelfire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. noticing red team''s number three''s gesture, lin tian was also startled but quickly caught on. one-on-one challenge! he actually wanted to challenge him one-on-one! a slight smile appeared on lin tian''s lips, then he also waved his hand, signaling his teammates beside him to move away. seeing lin tian''s action, the announcer''s eyes lit up, then he excitedly exclaimed, "oh, what do i see here, red team''s number eight also makes his teammates move away, it seems he has accepted the one-on-one challenge!" seeing the actions of the two players, both teams'' teammates tactfully cleared some space to give them room to play. seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd was thrilled. everyone loved such an intense moment! "bang bang!" number three slowly dribbled the basketball, his eyes intensely focused on lin tian''s eyes. whoosh! suddenly, number three accelerated, his body ****, seemingly about to break to the left. but lin tian was unmoved! a fake move! that was a fake move! whoosh, number three''s body twisted, sprinting rapidly to the right. whoosh! lin tian instantly moved his body, blocking him straight in front. break failed, number three was taken aback, then paused his step and quickly did a fadeaway jump shot. seeing this, the announcer hurriedly shouted, "shooting, fadeaway jump shot, number three''s signature move!" "swoosh!" the basketball left his hand! "heavens!" suddenly, the announcer yelled out, his eyes widening! "bang!" a crisp sound! blocked! the moment the basketball left his hand, lin tian swiftly slapped it away. smack! lin tian swiftly slapped the basketball away. stunned! seeing this, number three was momentarily stunned. he hadn''t expected his fadeaway jump shot to be blocked. while he was stunned, lin tian didn''t hesitate. the moment he landed, lin tian sprinted rapidly toward the basketball. picking up the basketball, lin tian quickly dribbled and dashed toward red team''s court! "a drive by number eight, fast! number eight has incredible speed! he''s taking off!" the announcer''s eyes widened. quickly arriving outside the two-point line, lin tian''s muscles taut, he pushed off the ground, leaping into the air! whoosh! lin tian''s hand drew a perfect arc, fiercely slamming toward the hoop!

"i''m so bummed, i didn''t get to see your performance, big brother!" on the way back, lin fang was clearly downcast and gloomy. "it''s all right, there''s another game the day after tomorrow. just come to that one!" lin tian said with a slight smile, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a tissue. lin tian had not sweated this much in a long time. if it hadn''t been for the green team falling greatly behind at the beginning, he wouldn''t have had to push himself so hard. "then you''ll have to put on an even more spectacular show the day after tomorrow!" lin fang''s eyes lit up when she heard lin tian''s words. she had heard the discussions of the onlookers when she was leaving and knew about lin tian''s previous spectacular performance. "i''ll make sure you get an eyeful!" lin tian said with a smile. ... two days later, the final game of the corporate championship began. this time, lin tian arrived at the court early. unsurprisingly, under lin tian''s leadership, the green team easily won the game and took the championship. at the moment the referee blew the whistle to end the game, a synthetic voice echoed in lin tian''s mind: "mission: help lin lili win the corporate league championship completed. reward: one supernatural point." hearing this voice, lin tian let out a sigh of relief. then he turned down lin lili''s invitation for a celebration dinner and went back home with bu mengting and lin fang. s~ea??h the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "bro, you were so cool!" on the way back, lin fang was still visibly excited, chattering nonstop. lin tian didn''t engage her. sitting in the back seat of the taxi, lin tian leaned back, closed his eyes slightly, and his consciousness entered the sea of consciousness. as his consciousness entered the sea of consciousness, lin tian glanced around and instantly saw two golden droplet-like supernatural points floating in the sea of consciousness. Chapter 115 Street Magic "got another two supernatural points." lin tian muttered to himself as he saw the supernatural points floating in the air."what superpower should i exchange for next?" with the new supernatural points, lin tian began planning what his next superpower should be. considering his current situation, lin tian thought deeply, "right now, my close-range attack power is quite impressive; i''m not even that afraid of handguns at close distance. but at longer ranges, it falls short. it seems necessary to enhance my long-distance self-defense abilities." thinking deeply, lin tian concentrated and instantly summoned the superpower menu. his gaze swept across the twenty superpowers on the menu, and immediately, lin tian''s eyes settled on one: "level 1 finger zen: allows you to emit a shockwave from your finger, similar in attack power to a regular handgun." seeing this superpower, lin tian''s eyes slightly lit up, "this is the one!" lin tian decided that once he accumulated more supernatural points, he would exchange them for finger zen. with finger zen, lin tian''s self-defense capability would greatly increase. even facing a handgun wouldn''t be much of a concern. "this is it!" lin tian thought to himself. "hey, big bro, did you hear what i was saying?" just as lin tian was deep in thought, suddenly a dissatisfied voice from lin fang came by his ear. "huh?" lin tian opened his eyes, glanced at her, and asked puzzledly, "what did you say?" "i''m so mad at you!" seeing lin tian''s clueless expression, lin fang huffily turned her head away and stopped talking to him. seeing this scene, bu mengting, standing nearby, smiled slightly. ** since the day of the basketball game, lin tian had spent the next two days hardly going out, mostly staying at home reading novels. because he had found a novel that particularly suited his taste. at four in the afternoon, in the living room, lin tian was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in the novel on his phone, with a slight smile at the exciting parts. "tap tap..." just then, a knocking sound came from the door. lin tian looked up briefly, then slipped into his slippers and walked towards the front door. while walking, he still kept his head down, reading the novel. there was no helping it, the novel was too thrilling. upon opening the door, only then did lin tian shift his gaze from his phone. "hey, still reading?" as soon as the door opened, bu mengting saw the phone in lin tian''s hand. "uh..." lin tian was momentarily stunned, not knowing what to say. he then awkwardly put down his phone. giving lin tian a look, bu mengting said irritably, "okay, you definitely forgot about going shopping, go change your clothes." only then did lin tian remember, seeming to recall that he had agreed to go shopping with bu mengting the day before. s§×arch* the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. who knew he would become so engrossed in the novel that he forgot. "what are you spacing out for, go change!" bu mengting glared at him, irritated. "okay, okay, i''m going right now, really quick." saying that, lin tian, wearing slippers, hurried towards his room. currently, he was only wearing big shorts, which definitely wouldn''t do for going out. a few minutes later, lin tian changed into a white t-shirt, and while tidying up his clothes, said, "let''s go." half an hour later, the two appeared on wu''an city''s pedestrian street. as for shopping... initially, lin tian was quite enthusiastic about it. but now... fortunately, he could still use his phone to read the novel and pass some of the boring time. otherwise, lin tian wouldn''t know how he''d endure those few hours. an hour later, bu mengting came out of a jewelry shop, her eyes suddenly lit up, and turning to lin tian, she said excitedly, "there''s a big crowd over there, let''s go have a look!" "huh?" lin tian was startled, shifting his gaze from his phone, and looked up. indeed, he saw many people gathered about twenty meters ahead. your next chapter awaits on empire "come on, let''s go check it out!" realizing there was something exciting to see, bu mengting grabbed lin tian''s hand and quickly ran forward. bu mengting really loved lively scenes. helplessly, lin tian just followed bu mengting and ran along. upon reaching and squeezing into the crowd, they saw that someone was performing magic. a young girl was doing a street magic show. seeing this girl, lin tian''s eyes lit up slightly, surprised she was actually a beauty. the girl looked to be in her twenties, had fair skin, and possessed smooth, long hair. at that moment, the girl was performing a magic trick. yan yan pinched a one-yuan coin between her fingers, slowly gesturing to the crowd of onlookers, "pay attention, everyone, this is a coin, a one-yuan coin." "i have nothing else in my hands!" said yan yan as she opened her fair palms and, to increase her credibility, even rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms. "there is nothing on my hands except this coin!" yan yan said with a slight smile, as she flipped her palm and the back of her hand to let everyone see clearly again. after everyone had a clear view, yan yan placed the coin in her right hand into the palm of her left, then looked up and told the crowd, "watch closely, there is only one coin here." as she spoke, yan yan''s left palm slowly clenched. after clenching, yan yan raised her clenched left hand high and loudly told the crowd, "you all saw it, i am holding a coin in this hand." "but is it really so?" yan yan asked with a slight smile, lowering the hand she had raised and slowly opening it. seeing this scene, everyone''s eyes widened as they gazed at yan yan''s left hand. empty! it was completely empty! apart from yan yan''s fair hand, the crowd saw nothing else. the coin had disappeared. "clap, clap¡­" instantly, a round of applause erupted from the scene. "wow, that''s amazing!" bu mengting exclaimed with amazement upon seeing this scene. after thinking for a while, bu mengting turned to lin tian, "do you know how that happened?" having thought for a while, lin tian shook his head, "i don''t know." he really didn''t know. since the girl had first clenched the coin in her palm, lin tian''s gaze hadn''t left her hand. but he still could not see how the coin had disappeared. lin tian, who had a photographic memory, couldn''t spot the trick, indicating that the girl indeed had some skills. feeling the crowd''s enthusiasm, yan yan smiled slightly, looked up at the crowd, and cheerfully said, "actually, that wasn''t the main part. the real miracle is still to come!" as she spoke, yan yan''s left hand slowly clenched again. seeing this scene, everyone quietened down, their gazes fixed tightly on yan yan''s left hand. as she clenched her left hand, this time yan yan didn''t make everyone wait too long. after holding for a second or two, yan yan slowly opened her fair little hand again. "wow! how is that possible?" at the moment yan yan''s hand opened, a wave of gasps filled the air. a coin! yan yan''s fair little hand now held two coins! how had this occurred? nobody knew. "that''s magical!" bu mengting watched excitedly, her eyes gleaming with admiration. lin tian was also somewhat dumbstruck. impressive! with a slight smile and feeling the crowd''s enthusiasm, yan yan reached behind with one hand and grabbed something. whoosh! suddenly, yan yan''s hand held a black hat. with the hat in hand, yan yan sweetly smiled, "ladies and gentlemen, if you have money, support with money; if you don''t, support with your presence. i kindly ask for gratuities!" taken aback, the onlookers soon started laughing. most people took out their wallets and gave a bit of money. some gave fifty or a hundred, while others gave just a couple of yuan. the girl was skilled, and she was also good-looking and sweet. everyone was willing to show some generosity. even lin tian took out a hundred and passed it over. watching the hat fill up with more and more money, yan yan''s smile grew sweeter, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks. "girl, your skills are not bad at all!" suddenly, a playful voice came through. upon hearing this voice, yan yan immediately let out a scream. Chapter 116 How is that possible lin tian frowned and swept his gaze across.he immediately noticed two ruffian-looking young men who had just joined the crowd. lin tian even saw that earlier, a blonde thug had tried to grab yan yan''s buttocks, but she had dodged away. "what are you doing?" yan yan looked at the two with a furious expression. "nothing much, just want you to perform a little show for us brothers!" the blonde chewed gum, shuffling his feet, and smirked at yan yan. even though they were several meters apart, lin tian still faintly smelt alcohol on the two men. it wasn''t just lin tian who smelt the alcohol; the people nearby also caught the scent coming from the two men. worried about trouble, the surrounding people subconsciously moved away. suddenly there was an empty space around the two men. yan yan''s brows furrowed; she recognized them as petty thugs, and they had been drinking. despite being very annoyed, yan yan didn''t want to cause a scene. after a moment''s thought, yan yan suppressed the rage in her heart, turned, and prepared to collect her things and leave. if you can''t fight them, can''t you just avoid them? "where are you going?" but just as yan yan turned around, her arm was suddenly grabbed. looking back, she found it was the blonde''s accomplice. "let go!" yan yan yanked her arm, but it didn''t come free. "let go!" yan yan struggled again, her face flashing with urgency as she warned, "if you don''t let me go, i''ll call the police!" "go ahead, call them. don''t you know we''ve got connections in the police station?" hearing yan yan''s words, the man not only didn''t let go, but actually looked at her with a smug grin. "are you letting go or not!" seeing that she couldn''t break free, yan yan stopped struggling and stared coldly at the other person. "yo, now you''re getting angry?" the blonde laughed, looking yan yan up and down, then suddenly his eyes swept over to an orange seed someone had spit out onto the ground. he then pointed at the orange seed on the ground with a smile and said: "you''re a magician, aren''t you? perform for us. how about making this orange seed grow into a big tree? didn''t liu qian perform one at the spring festival gala? you should do one too!" "you..." yan yan glared with beautiful, angry eyes: "i can''t do it." "if you can''t do it, then join us brothers for a drink as an apology, don''t worry, we won''t do anything!" the blonde looked at her playfully. as he spoke, a wave of strong alcohol fumes hit her. "no! i''m leaving! let me go!" yan yan struggled anxiously, but her arm was firmly grasped. "i said, turn this seed into a tree and i''ll let you go! otherwise..." "impossible! i can''t do it! let go of me now!" yan yan''s face was full of anxiety. she then looked at the onlookers with a pleading expression: "please, somebody, call the police for me!" at this point, many people had already taken out their phones to take pictures. there were even some preparing to call the police. "no one''s allowed to call! i''ll kill anyone who calls the police!" noticing the crowd''s actions, the blonde''s eyes bulged with a fierce glare. the crowd was genuinely startled by the angry, drunken man; such people could be terrifyingly unpredictable. hesitating for a moment, those who were about to call the police put away their phones. of course, some prepared to move away and call. seeing this scene, lin tian shook his head, ready to step forward when suddenly, he paused, his expression frozen. a synthetic electronic voice sounded in lin tian''s mind: "mission: help yan yan perform the magic trick of turning a seed into a tree. mission reward: two supernatural points." a mission, a mission had actually appeared. stunned for a moment, lin tian continued walking towards the two men. seeing lin tian step forth, everyone was taken aback. was there actually someone daring to intervene? "kid, you better not stick your nose where it doesn''t belong!" seeing lin tian approaching, the blonde glared menacingly at him. standing in front of the two, lin tian frowned. the smell of alcohol was strong. scrunching his nose, lin tian bent over to pick up the orange seed from the ground, then raised his head and looked at the two calmly: "what if this seed turned into a big tree?" huh? upon hearing lin tian''s words, everyone was stunned. even yan yan at his side was dumbfounded! what did that mean? after a moment of bewilderment, the blond scoffed with a mocking smile as he sized up lin tian, "what? you think you can do it?" "what do you think?" lin tian replied with a smile and slowly said, "i only ask you, what will you do if i really manage to do it?" "if you really pull it off, i''ll let you do whatever you want to me!" the blond pointed at lin tian''s nose, full of arrogance. "very well!" lin tian nodded slowly, a mocking smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. discover stories at empire i''ll let you witness something today! everyone around lin tian had heard what he said, and they all had expressions of disbelief. a seed turning into a big tree? how could that be possible? initially, they thought lin tian intended to play the hero and save the day. but then he said something like that. he actually planned to turn a seed into a big tree? how could that be possible? yan yan was also staring at lin tian with a stunned expression, somewhat slack-jawed. she seriously wondered if lin tian was out of his mind to say something like that. as a magician, she couldn''t be clearer about what magic entailed. the so-called magic was actually a form of deception, just unknown to the audience. and now lin tian actually said such a thing, how could it be possible? sear?h the n??el fire.n§×t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. did he think he was a mage? yan yan seriously doubted whether lin tian was just messing with everyone. at that moment, bu mengting also ran over, looking at lin tian with curiosity on her face. she didn''t know lin tian had this ability. scanning the crowd, lin tian took in everyone''s expressions. disbelief! impossible! that was the look on everyone''s face. lin tian concentrated for a moment, then slowly closed his eyes, "just because others can''t, doesn''t mean i can''t!" with his eyes closed, lin tian summoned the superpower menu. his gaze swept over it, and instantly fixated on a particular superpower, "level 1 plant time powder: allows plants to grow rapidly at will. requires one supernatural point to exchange." seeing this superpower, lin tian''s eyes lit up, that''s the one! with a thought, lin tian felt a warmth in his body, followed by a sensation of a layer of white powder appearing in the palm of his left hand. this white powder was invisible to others, only lin tian could see it, and it clung to the inside of lin tian''s palm, able to fall according to his will. feeling the powder in his palm, lin tian''s confidence surged instantly. "hey, what''s taking so long? can you do it or not? if you want to sleep, go back home!" seeing lin tian had actually closed his eyes, the blond mocked him unrestrainedly. "heh..." opening his eyes, lin tian glanced at him and couldn''t be bothered to respond. looking around, lin tian''s gaze finally settled on a patch of soil to his left. Chapter 117 Impossible! two meters to the left of lin tian, there was a small patch of land that was originally used for planting greenery trees. for some unknown reason, the trees had disappeared. all that was left was a patch of black soil.seeing this soil, lin tian glanced over and quickly walked towards it. noticing lin tian''s actions, everyone''s gaze followed him. arriving at the soil, lin tian squatted down, raised his head to glance at yan yan, and smiled, "beauty, come over here!" stunned for a moment, yan yan subconsciously walked over. at this time, the blondes didn''t stop yan yan; they actually wanted to see what lin tian was up to. standing in front of lin tian, yan yan curiously watched him. closely observing yan yan, lin tian found that she indeed was a beauty, with very good, delicate skin. however, lin tian knew it was not the time to flirt, so he asked yan yan to squat down. after yan yan squatted down, lin tian handed her an orange seed he was holding, smiling, "here, beauty, plant it!" looking dully at the seed in her palm, yan yan was speechless... what would this do? although somewhat skeptical, yan yan was curious about what exactly lin tian was trying to do, so she prepared to bury the seed in the soil as lin tian had said. "wait!" just as yan yan was about to plant the seed into the soil, the blonde suddenly yelled out loud. hearing this voice, everyone was startled. "change the seed!" although not convinced of lin tian''s capabilities, just to be safe, the blonde suggested changing the seed. experience tales at empire saying this, the blonde looked around and quickly picked up another orange seed from the ground and swapped it with the one in yan yan''s palm. seeing this scene, lin tian was speechless. seeing the seed in her palm had been changed, yan yan turned her head to look at lin tian, signaling what to do next. noticing yan yan''s gaze, lin tian slightly nodded, "plant it!" upon hearing lin tian''s words, yan yan found a wooden stick from a finished ice cream, then used it to dig a small hole in the black soil and buried the seed. she covered it with soil. as yan yan carried out the action, the surrounding onlookers all crowded around, full of curiosity. those who had initially planned to call the police decided against it. curious! everyone was extremely curious! very curious if lin tian''s words could come true? could he turn a seed into a big tree? many people were doubtful, but most were very curious! after burying the seed, yan yan turned her head again to look at lin tian, clearly asking what to do next. lin tian raised his head to look at the surrounding crowd and called out, "who has water? let me borrow some!" "i have some here!" immediately, a middle-aged man handed over a bottle of mineral water. taking the bottle of mineral water, lin tian handed it to yan yan, instructing, "water it, pour it all out." hearing lin tian''s words, yan yan immediately twisted off the cap and poured all the water from the bottle into the soil. "and then?" after pouring the water, yan yan looked at lin tian, her face full of curiosity. at that moment, yan yan had already forgotten the two thugs, and she was very curious about what lin tian could pull off. perhaps there was some miracle? "what''s next?" hearing yan yan''s words, lin tian raised his head and smiled slightly, "it''s already done!" "done?" yan yan looked astonished. she immediately looked down into the soil. simultaneously, upon hearing lin tian''s words, everyone''s gaze shifted to the soil. no movement! the crowd continued to wait. a minute later, there was still no reaction within the black soil. running out of patience, the blonde looked at lin tian with a mocking expression, "kid, are you here to perform a comedy?" shaking her head, yan yan looked somewhat disappointed. initially, she thought lin tian was a capable man. it seemed he was just fooling around. although she had guessed the outcome early on, yan yan still felt a slight disappointment. meanwhile, as a minute passed, the surrounding audience also lost patience. all of them shook their heads, their faces speechless. many had a look of disappointment in their eyes, thinking they might witness a miracle! who knew... but then again, how could it be possible? "kid, if you think amusing me is fun, i''m going to let you know just how ''fun'' it can be!" feeling tricked, the blonde glared at lin tian with a menacing look.

"where did they go?" the sudden turn of events once again stunned everyone. after a moment of bewilderment, everyone looked towards lin tian. seeing everyone''s gaze, lin tian smiled slightly, "you didn''t really think i could turn into a large tree, did you?" "but just now..." someone hesitated. "yeah, what happened just now? look, i still have half an orange in my mouth!" another person said, opening their mouth wide to show the half-eaten orange. "you understand!" lin tian smiled subtly and didn''t offer an explanation. of course, all of this was done with the time powder. now that the mission was complete, lin tian certainly needed to wipe his slate clean. if the orange tree were to remain here, he would really become famous, perhaps even world-renowned. lin tian had too many secrets, and drawing too much attention was not his intention. and now, he had reduced the danger to the minimum. glancing over the crowd, lin tian looked towards yan yan, who was still a bit dazed, walked over to her, and said, "i''m leaving." yan yan, caught off guard for a moment, hurriedly replied, "i''ll go with you." as she spoke, yan yan quickly gathered her things and followed lin tian. the blond individual, still in a daze, didn''t stop her. as lin tian left, he left behind a crowd full of astonishment. although many people wanted to detain lin tian, wishing he would perform more magic, there were also many who asked him various questions. but lin tian didn''t bother with it. at this time, the best approach was to keep a low profile and treat the situation coolly. so, as soon as the performance was over, lin tian hurriedly left with bu mengting, who was still somewhat shocked. "hey, wait for me!" lin tian said as he quickly walked away with bu mengting. behind them, they could hear yan yan shouting loudly. lin tian didn''t stop his pace. after walking a certain distance and feeling that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he finally stopped. the moment lin tian came to a stop, yan yan, panting and carrying something, ran up to them. "hey, you, why didn''t you wait for me?" she asked. "what''s up?" lin tian glanced at her and asked with feigned curiosity. lin tian was naturally interested in a beauty, but with bu mengting beside him, he had to avoid showing it too obviously. "how, how did you do that just now?" yan yan asked eagerly, still gasping for breath as she looked at lin tian curiously. "i did this, then that, and it was done!" lin tian said with a slight smile. "uh..." yan yan was speechless, she paused for a moment before responding helplessly, "what do you mean ''this and that'' exactly?" "just this and that!" lin tian said, pretending to be innocent, but he couldn''t hide the mirth in his eyes. "you... you''re being mean!" yan yan pouted, clearly annoyed. "uh..." just as lin tian was about to say something, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. lin tian took out his phone and saw that it was from his mom. lin tian answered the call, "hello, mom?" "lin tian? where are you right now, someone is looking for you at home!" "who is it?" lin tian asked, puzzled. who would be looking for him at this time? "it seems to be a girl named wang lan!" "wang lan?" upon hearing this name, lin tian was startled. wang lan should be the girl he helped to find her nephew. but how did she know my address? and she even came to find me? he was doubtful, yet lin tian didn''t say anything, just mentioned that he would be back home soon. after hanging up, lin tian turned to yan yan and said, "i''ve got something to do now, let''s chat another time." with that, lin tian hailed a taxi that had arrived just in time, and got in with bu mengting. sea??h th§× nov§×lf~ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. watching the taxi speed off in a whoosh, yan yan stood frozen. after a moment, she came to her senses and, feeling both embarrassed and angry, stamped her foot and muttered, "jerk!" ** in the taxi, bu mengting looked at lin tian curiously. "what happened?" she was curious why lin tian was in such a hurry to go back. "nothing, an old friend is looking for me. she probably has some urgent matter," lin tian said without going into detail, still wondering how wang lan could have found his home. to avoid trouble, lin tian now used two sim cards; one phone number was permanent, known only to his family and close friends. the other number he gave out to the people he met while completing tasks. for example, the number he had given wang lan was the second one. he often changed the second number because if he didn''t, he''d be approached by people every day. it was annoying, so he frequently changed the second number. lin tian had already stopped using the number he had given to wang lan, which made him curious about how she had managed to find him. lost in these thoughts, the taxi raced towards lin tian''s home. half an hour later, lin tian and bu mengting arrived at his house. upon entering the house, lin tian saw wang lan. to lin tian''s surprise, wang lan seemed much thinner than before and looked very pale. she had deep bags under her eyes, indicating a lack of sleep. "lin..." as soon as wang lan saw lin tian, a glimmer of joy flashed through her eyes, and she started to say something. "let''s talk later," lin tian said, cutting her off with a wave of his hand. he then turned to his mother and said, "mom, i''m stepping out for a bit, i''ll be back later." after giving lin tian a look, shi qing shook her head resignedly, "come back early." ever since lin tian had become the top scorer in the college entrance examination, shi qing had started treating him like an adult and gave him much more freedom. "yeah, i will," lin tian replied, and then turned to wang lan, saying, "let''s go outside to talk." the two of them left the room and sat down on a bench inside the residential complex. bu mengting, curious, followed them. sitting on the stone bench in the complex, lin tian looked up at wang lan and said, "so, what''s wrong?" "lin, master lin, there are ghosts in my house!" wang lan said, sounding anxious. "ghosts?" lin tian was stunned upon hearing this. Chapter 119 Cant Figure It Out! "ghosts?" lin tian lifted his head and stared at her blankly."yes, ghosts!" as she spoke, wang lan''s expression became visibly uneasy, and there seemed to be a hint of fear as well. lin tian frowned, glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, "what exactly happened, tell me slowly." "mm." wang lan took a deep breath, waited for her emotions to settle down, and began to recount, "it''s like this, not long after i came back last time, i heard that there were ghosts in my ancestral home." "my ancestral home is in the countryside, and my grandparents are old; they didn''t want to move into the city, so they stayed in the countryside. a few days ago, my mother received a phone call from my grandfather, claiming there were ghosts in the old house. at first, we didn''t believe it and thought the old people were having illusions. the family even tried to persuade my grandparents to come to the city. but the old folks just didn''t want to come over. having no other choice, my uncle went back to the countryside a while ago, intending to keep the two old people company. but, but..." at this point, a glint of something strange flashed through wang lan''s eyes, "but on the second night, my uncle went mad, kept saying there were ghosts and kept mumbling ''dead, dead!''" "because of my uncle''s issue, many relatives took time off to come to the old house, trying to see exactly what was going on. the family originally wanted to bring the two old people into the city, but they just didn''t want to leave. no choice, so many people stayed in the old house, and i went too..." at this point, wang lan''s voice involuntarily paused, and a trace of fear began to flicker in her eyes. due to that fear, her already pale lips began to whiten even more, "that day, everything was fine at first, but, but when night came..." "when night fell... when night fell..." wang lan murmured to herself, unable to continue, and the fear in her eyes grew more and more intense. lin tian''s frown deepened as he looked up at her and asked intently, "what happened then?" "ghosts! ghosts!" wang lan suddenly collapsed, crouching down and covering her face as she began to sob in pain. possibly out of fear, her body even started to tremble slightly. it seemed as if she was recalling something extremely terrifying. taking a deep breath, lin tian suddenly felt that things were perhaps not as simple as they seemed. glancing at wang lan, crouched on the ground, trembling and in pain, lin tian reached out and patted her shoulder. "ah!" to his surprise, wang lan was startled, recoiling as if shocked by electricity, a look of terror quickly spread across her face as she scrambled back. lin tian''s hand froze mid-air, looking at her with some bewilderment, "are you... are you okay?" "huff! huff!" wang lan took deep breaths, came back to her senses, and on seeing lin tian, she felt somewhat reassured and looked at him with a pleading face, "master lin, please, you must help us." "don''t panic, take deep breaths, and then what? what happened next?" lin tian calmed wang lan and asked with a steady voice. wang lan took a few deep breaths and stabilized her emotions quite a bit, before continuing, "later, later we all got scared and everyone but the two old people moved out of the old house." "why didn''t the two old people want to come out?" lin tian asked, somewhat puzzled. "i don''t know, but no matter what, they didn''t want to leave, saying they had lived there their whole lives and even if they were to die, they wanted to die in that house. but, but that''s not the main thing, the main thing is..." as she spoke, fear flickered in wang lan''s eyes again. "don''t rush, take deep breaths!" seeing the fear in wang lan''s eyes, lin tian quickly said. wang lan took several deep breaths and steadied her emotions, then continued, "but, but even if we moved out, the ghost still haunted us." saying this, wang lan''s body trembled slightly, "anyone, anyone who had spent the night in the house, they all encountered the ghost again at night, even if they moved out to live somewhere else!" as she said this, wang lan''s body trembled again. lin tian''s expression became more focused as he pondered for a moment, then lifted his head to look at wang lan, "and those who never went there?" "those who never went there were fine!" "i see!" lin tian slowly nodded his head. now lin tian had a basic understanding of the situation. putting aside whether there were ghosts or not, he had grasped most of the situation described by wang lan. experience new stories on empire as lin tian was mulling things over, wang lan looked at him with a plea in her eyes, "master lin, you must help me!" lin tian lifted his head, about to speak, when suddenly, he was taken aback. "mission: help wang lan get rid of the trouble! mission reward: three supernatural points." a mission, a mission had actually come! what surprised lin tian the most was the reward for this task! three supernatural points! this must be the most generous reward lin tian had ever encountered! "actually three superpower points as a reward!" hearing the task''s reward, lin tian was a bit stunned. "master lin, please, i beg you to help us, please!" seeing lin tian in a daze and not speaking, wang lan pleaded anxiously, fearing he might not agree. hearing wang lan''s words, lin tian came back to his senses, lifted his head, and looked at her, "don''t be anxious, let me do some divination first." as he spoke, lin tian took out three silver coins from his pocket. the reward for this task was too rich for lin tian to want to give up. despite the task appearing rather eerie. hearing lin tian''s words, wang lan quieted down and felt much relieved inside. she was also somewhat curious as she watched lin tian. bu mengting, who had been sitting quietly beside them, also looked at lin tian with curiosity as she watched his actions. she was intrigued by the three coins in lin tian''s hand and wondered what he was going to do. sea??h th§× n?vel?ire.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. lin tian didn''t speak. he held the three silver coins in his hand and flicked them. whirring~! the three silver coins spun rapidly on the cement floor like three silver tops. whirring~! bang! seemingly struck by an unknown force, one of the coins was abruptly propelled away! stunned! seeing this, lin tian was taken aback. it couldn''t be calculated! he actually couldn''t predict the outcome! just a void! lin tian sat somewhat dazed in his chair, looking quite surprised. this time, lin tian had not anticipated such an outcome at all. even though this level of divination was the most basic, but why couldn''t it be calculated? could it really be... lowering his head in thought, lin tian stood up and retrieved the coin that had been sent flying. the coin had been propelled five meters away. after recovering the coin, lin tian picked up the other two from the ground. holding the three coins in his hand with a slight concentration, he flicked them again! whirring! the three silver coins spun rapidly. clap! bang! propelled away! at the end, another coin was flung out. seeing this happen, lin tian frowned deeply. he then stood up and collected the coin once more. calculate again! thus, three times, without exception, the next three attempts resulted in nothing being calculated either. every time at the critical moment, a coin would always be flung out. "master lin, this..." after several instances like this, wang lan also sensed something was amiss. holding the cold coin in his hand, lin tian rubbed it thoughtfully, and then lifting his head, he looked at wang lan and said, "do you have time right now? can i accompany you on a trip to your hometown? where is it?" "my hometown is in the suburbs of wu''an city, a two-hour drive away." "good, let''s go now, it''s getting dark soon! any problems?" saying this, lin tian looked up and saw that it was already nearly six o''clock. it was about to get dark. "no!" wang lan shook her head. although somewhat scared, she felt that she might be safer by lin tian''s side than out there alone. Chapter 120 Are They Really Not Afraid? ps: congratulations to the reader "cold moon proud snow" for becoming the first hall master of this book! hall master is mighty! thank you! and thanks to all the other brothers who rewarded and voted! you guys are amazing!.................. "alright, let''s go now," lin tian said, turning his head to look at bu mengting, "mengting, you go back first. i have some things to deal with first." "no! i want to go with you!" bu mengting''s eyes sparkled. hearing this, lin tian was somewhat taken aback and looked at her strangely. it was then that lin tian realized, upon hearing the story, bu mengting was not frightened; in fact, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in her eyes. excitement! yes, excitement! noticing bu mengting''s expression, lin tian was at a loss for words and waved his hand: "go on, go play, be good, i''ll find you tomorrow." "no! let me go with you." seeing that lin tian did not agree, bu mengting clung to his hand and cooed. "you¡­" lin tian was at a loss for words again. "please, can i?" bu mengting kept cooing. lin tian, speechless, thought for a moment and finally nodded, "alright, just remember to behave." "yes! you''re so nice, lin tian, you''re adorable!" hearing lin tian agree, bu mengting showed a sweet smile. lin tian was speechless, shaking his head. the reason lin tian agreed to let bu mengting come along was that he had confidence. his confidence came from his superpower of precognition. though the mission seemed somewhat eerie, the precognition superpower had not activated. so the mission should not be dangerous, at least there was nothing that posed an irreparable danger to lin tian. it was for this reason that lin tian agreed to let bu mengting come along. seeing that lin tian was actually bringing a little girl along, wang lan opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing. since nobody objected, lin tian and the other two left the residential area, took a taxi, and headed toward wang lan''s hometown. when leaving, lin tian and bu mengting each informed their families, saying they would be back later. sitting in the taxi, lin tian, seeing wang lan somewhat uneasy, asked, "how did you know i live here?" "um¡­" wang lan hesitated for a moment, then somewhat awkwardly said, "actually, last time we went to rescue my nephew, i helped you buy a train ticket, and i memorized your address from your id card!" so that''s how it was, lin tian thought to himself and was speechless. shaking his head, lin tian did not speak. meanwhile, bu mengting, hearing wang lan''s words, curiously looked at wang lan and asked, "rescue your nephew? what happened?" your journey continues with empire glancing at lin tian and seeing that he had no objection, wang lan began to explain. lin tian did not talk much on the way, only closing his eyes to rest. lin tian had a faint feeling that this matter was not simple. two hours later, when they arrived in wang lan''s ancestral village, it was already completely dark. lin tian checked the time, and it was already eight o''clock in the evening. "let''s go, my house is just ahead." by then it had completely darkened, and wang lan, suddenly worried, did not dare stray too far from lin tian. "let''s go, didn''t you say it wouldn''t be so fast? don''t be nervous," lin tian had also clarified on the way that the ghost generally appears around nine thirty. then wang lan led lin tian and the other toward the old house. ten minutes later, wang lan stopped, pointing at a courtyard ahead and said, "this is it." hearing wang lan''s words, lin tian stopped and carefully observed the courtyard. the courtyard was large, at least four or five hundred square meters. such a large area in the city could only be seen in those high-end villas. of course, this house was no match for a villa; it was still one of those old-fashioned houses constructed from mud brick. moreover, it was covered with the type of stone tiles found only in the countryside. s~ea??h the n??efire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. lin tian glanced around and peered inside to find that the room was already illuminated by a dim yellow light. "grandpa, grandma, i''m here!" upon reaching the courtyard, wang lan called out loudly and pushed the gate open. seeing wang lan enter, lin tian also walked in, while bu mengting curiously looked around her. "what else do you want! didn''t i tell you not to come?" as lin tian entered the courtyard, two elderly people with graying hair came out of the room. "old man, what are you talking about? isn''t it good that the child came to see you! come on in, have you had dinner yet?" the old woman next to the old man warmly greeted wang lan. then she noticed lin tian and bu mengting behind wang lan, and cheerfully said, "these are your friends, right? come on in." lin tian gave her a curious glance. this old lady seemed to be in a good mood, not at all like she had seen a ghost. with suspicion, lin tian walked into the room. upon entering, lin tian stared blankly for a moment. "hey, what''s wrong with you? why the daze, come in!" bu mengting, who was following behind lin tian, noticed he had suddenly stopped and stood still, so she curiously nudged him. "oh! okay!" responded lin tian, stepping forward into the room. despite this, he still looked somewhat puzzled. as he entered the room, lin tian turned his head and quietly asked bu mengting, "mengting, don''t you feel it''s a bit cold here?" "cold? not at all!" bu mengting responded, looking at lin tian strangely. not cold? lin tian frowned. just now, as soon as he had walked into this room, he had felt it was noticeably colder inside than outside. it wasn''t the kind of coldness. but rather a somewhat gloomy and chilly coldness. "come on in! i knew you hadn''t eaten, so i made a few extra dishes today," said the old lady cheerfully, heading toward the kitchen. seeing the old lady leave, the old man by her side discontentedly grasped wang lan''s hand, "lan, i told you, don''t come here anymore, just go after dinner." "grandpa, this time i invited master lin over; everything will be fine. he is the one who found the baby last time," wang lan comforted her grandfather. "ah!" the old man glanced up at lin tian, shook his head with a sigh, and remained silent. "what are you guys talking about? come and eat!" at that moment, the old lady came out with the dishes. since it was still early and they were really hungry, lin tian unceremoniously sat down to eat. it was already 8:30 p.m. when they had finished their meal. afterwards, everyone waited in the room. throughout the process, lin tian noticed that the expressions of the two old people seemed quite composed and they didn''t appear to be very scared of the impending ghost. seeing their calm expressions, lin tian finally understood why the two weren''t leaving. could it be that they were courageous? but were they really not afraid? was the ghost not formidable? but if it wasn''t, how could it have driven wang lan''s uncle to madness? how could it have terrified wang lan to the point of breaking down? lin tian was puzzled. as they waited, lin tian thought for a moment, then stood up and said to wang lan, "why don''t you take me for a tour around the different rooms." after a moment of hesitation, wang lan nodded. seeing the two of them get up, a very curious bu mengting also stood up. up to that moment, bu mengting hadn''t shown the slightest fear; instead, she seemed quite excited. "grandpa, i''m going to show master lin around," wang lan told his grandparents, then led lin tian to inspect the various rooms. Chapter 121 Goose Bumps lin tian followed behind wang lan and noticed that there were many lights in the old house, but many of them were useless.looking up at the light bulb above his head, lin tian curiously asked, "why are there so many lights installed here, and why aren''t they on?" glancing at the light above their heads, wang lan said, "ever since the incident with my uncle, we''ve installed a lot of lights inside, but that night, all the lights exploded." as she said this, wang lan seemed somewhat afraid, unconsciously leaning a little closer to lin tian. "there''s nothing special, right? where are the ghosts?" bu mengting, who was following behind them, said somewhat disappointedly. she really wanted to see if there were any ghosts. wang lan opened her mouth as if she wanted to curse someone, but she didn''t say anything, just muttering to herself under her breath. wang lan took lin tian around the entire old house, and lin tian became quite familiar with the surroundings. the old house was very large, with seven or eight rooms and two floors. however, with so many rooms, most of them were empty. many of the rooms even had spider webs. stay connected with empire after making their rounds, they didn''t find anything. so, the three of them returned to the downstairs hall once again. time passed little by little, and soon it was half past nine. quiet! despite wang lan being very afraid, nothing happened. ten o''clock in the evening! still, nothing happened. by this time, the two elderly people had already gone to bed. "it''s impossible, how come it hasn''t appeared?" at ten o''clock, the ghost still hadn''t come, and wang lan was very surprised. thinking about it, wang lan''s gaze shifted to lin tian. could it be that the ghost was afraid? lin tian was also somewhat puzzled. what was going on? could it really be false? after waiting for another ten or so minutes, still nothing happened. thinking it over, lin tian stood up and said, "i''m going to take a walk!" just sitting there wasn''t solving anything, so lin tian decided to take another look at the rooms. "i''ll accompany you!" hearing lin tian say this, wang lan quickly got up. she didn''t dare to stay here alone. then the three of them went to each room again. the entire old house was very large and very quiet. all three of them were silent, with only the sound of footsteps echoing. at first, bu mengting was curious, looking around from time to time. but after waiting for quite a while without anything happening, she became bored. yawning out of drowsiness, bu mengting said, "this is so boring! there are no ghosts at all!" she took out her phone to check the time; it was almost half past ten¡ªno wonder she felt sleepy. shaking his head, lin tian was also somewhat puzzled. after walking a bit more, lin tian stopped, turned around to say something, and was taken aback. lin tian looked at wang lan, somewhat astonished, "where''s mengting?" "isn''t she..." wang lan hurriedly turned around and looked, and immediately froze. empty! there was no one behind them! but she had just been behind them a moment ago! how could she suddenly disappear? the thought made fear flicker in wang lan''s eyes. lin tian''s heart also tensed up instantly, his face stern. pat pat! just as lin tian was about to go back and look for bu mengting, suddenly a series of footsteps came from behind. lin tian quickly turned to look. "why are you guys so slow? i took a detour and ended up in front of you," bu mengting said, looking at lin tian with an expression that said it all. "how did you get in front of us?" lin tian asked, frowning at her. "i was so bored watching you guys walk so slowly, so i circled around from behind¡ªwho knew that even after taking such a big detour, i still moved faster than you!" bu mengting pouted, her face expressing her speechlessness. "don''t do that again!" lin tian shook his head, admonishing her, "do you have any idea that you just scared me?" "what''s the big deal, seeing a ghost or something! come on, hurry up." saying this, bu mengting quickly ran forward, turned a corner, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. just as lin tian was about to chase after her, suddenly a voice rang out from behind: "hey, how can you guys move so fast?" upon hearing this voice, lin tian''s steps halted, his body stiffened, and a flicker of shock crossed his face! startled for a moment, lin tian swiftly turned around! bu mengting! it was actually bu mengting, who was now quickly running towards lin tian''s direction. but, but wasn''t bu mengting just in front of them? how, how did she suddenly get behind them? even if she was really fast, it was impossible for her to be in two places within a few seconds! so what exactly was going on? was one of them fake? a ghost? just thinking about this made lin tian''s hair stand on end! "huff! huff!" lin tian''s breathing became suddenly rapid as he widened his eyes, staring intently at her. meanwhile, wang lan had already been scared stiff by the side, watching bu mengting run over with a face full of fear. bu mengting ran over and looked at the two curiously, asking, "why are you guys looking at me like that?" "where have you been just now?" lin tian asked, his gaze fixed on her eyes. "me? i''ve been right behind you guys all along. i just yawned and you guys walked off, you move so quickly!" bu mengting replied somewhat speechlessly to lin tian. "you''ve been behind us all along?" lin tian''s gaze bore into hers. "yes!" bu mengting nodded, finding lin tian''s question rather odd. "you didn''t run ahead of us just now, didn''t come looking for us?" lin tian continued questioning her. "no, didn''t i say i was behind you the whole time?" bu mengting became increasingly perplexed, feeling that lin tian''s questions were very strange. "is that so?" lin tian nodded slowly. by now, lin tian had already confirmed that one of the bu mengtings must be fake. as to which one was the fake... with this in mind, lin tian walked slowly towards bu mengting. "what are you doing?" seeing lin tian approach with a serious expression, bu mengting looked at him, puzzled. "don''t move!" reaching bu mengting, lin tian held her tightly, burying his head in her hair and taking a deep breath. a familiar light fragrance drifted into his nose. so familiar, the scent was reassuring, and lin tian''s tense heart calmed down. it''s real! this is real! lin tian was certain this was the real bu mengting. ever since he had acquired the superpower of precognition, lin tian''s intuition had grown much stronger, and he was certain that if this were fake, he wouldn''t feel this peaceful inside. with that thought, lin tian, holding bu mengting''s hand, said with a serious face, "i just saw another you." s§×arch* the n??elfir§×.net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "what?" bu mengting was taken aback, after a moment, excitement flashed in her eyes: "really?" "creak!" just as lin tian was about to say something, suddenly the sound of a door opening was heard. upon hearing this noise, everyone turned toward the direction from which it came. ................................. Chapter 122 Unrivaled and Solemn explore more at empire"creak!" as the door opened, everyone''s eyes turned toward the direction of the sound. the old man! the person opening the door was wang lan''s grandfather. sear?h the novel?ire(.)ne*t website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. at that moment, wang lan''s grandfather was wearing a set of white pajamas, cautiously looking around before quietly walking over. seeing the old man, lin tian''s eyes flickered with a hint of wariness. after the bizarre encounter just now, who knew if this old man was real or not. giving lin tian a glance, the old man ignored him and slowly walked up to wang lan, whispering, "little lan!" "ah?" wang lan gulped nervously, looking at his grandfather. "little lan, do you know why it''s haunted?" the old man slowly said. "how, how?" wang lan stared tensely at his grandfather, feeling there was something eerie about him at that moment. "sigh," the old man sighed and shook his head. after a silence, he continued, "actually, what you saw earlier wasn''t really your grandmother!" "ah?" hearing this, wang lan was stunned and blurted out, "how, how?" "your grandmother actually died a week ago," the old man slowly said. "ah? then, then..." wang lan was stunned, feeling a cold sweat all over. if this was true, then was the grandmother everyone saw these past few days not real? this... thinking of his close contact with his grandmother, even holding hands, wang lan immediately got goosebumps. "let''s go, let''s go now! if we don''t leave soon, we won''t be able to escape!" the old man slowly shook his head, looking helpless. "then, then grandpa you..." wang lan stared blankly at the old man. "i can''t leave, you guys go quickly!" the old man waved his hands, sounding somewhat urgent. "sizzle sizzle~!" suddenly, the light bulb above began to flicker erratically. woo woo~! an eerie cold breeze suddenly blew through. cold to the bone! "she is coming! hurry up and go!" the old man said hastily. "go...where?" a prolonged voice sounded behind the old man. startled, the old man quickly turned around. woo woo~! an old lady with white hair, her head drooping, slowly floated over. her white hair covered her entire face, her head drooping, her back bent, she floated over slowly. that appearance was almost a carbon copy of sadako! "ah!" seeing this, wang lan shivered from fear, trembling and stumbling backward. seeing this scene, bu mengting''s eyes widened, not showing much fear, instead, there was a hint of excitement. taking a deep breath to suppress the terror within, lin tian''s eyes flashed fiercely, and he snorted at the old witch, "stop playing tricks!" "ya!" immediately, lin tian shouted, his muscles tensed as he stomped forcefully on the ground. "die!" lin tian kicked out fiercely towards the ghost! whoosh! this time lin tian used his full strength, moving so fast that his body even created a whistling sound in the air. bang! clink clatter! lin tian''s kick broke through a wall, bricks and debris clattering to the ground. but lin tian stared in shock. it was useless! his kick had actually passed right through the ghost''s body. "hehe..." the ghost turned around and slowly lifted her head. as the ghost lifted her head, lin tian could see through the strands of white hair to the face inside. disgusting! horrifying! upon seeing that terrifying face, lin tian''s heart skipped a beat. "fuck off!" lin tian roared angrily to embolden himself, swinging his fist fiercely! bang! still missed! the fist went right through. "come on..." the female ghost said slowly, smiling as she lunged directly at lin tian. sploosh! the female ghost''s body instantly entered lin tian''s body. in an instant, lin tian''s body stiffened, his complexion began to pale, and his eyeballs started to bulge outwards. shiver! shiver! lin tian''s body began to shiver slightly. seeing this scene, wang lan and bu mengting became tense. lin tian''s expression started to struggle, and suddenly, he yelled angrily, "get the hell out!" bang! a white shadow was directly pushed out of lin tian. she couldn''t control lin tian, his inner strength was too great, she couldn''t control him at all. phew! but the white shadow instantly flew towards bu mengting as it was pushed away. it happened so fast, bu mengting didn''t even have time to react before it possessed her. "giggle..." after a moment of stupefaction, bu mengting suddenly burst into a giggly laughter, her face filled with a bizarre smile, then she suddenly lunged at lin tian. seeing bu mengting lunge at him, lin tian was stunned. bite! as bu mengting lunged, she immediately opened her mouth towards lin tian''s neck. pain! instantly, a surge of pain emanated from his neck. lin tian felt a warm flow emerging from his neck. blood! lin tian quickly realized. "fuck!" cursing, lin tian forcefully grabbed bu mengting. "wuu wuu~~" even though lin tian had her in his grasp, bu mengting still looked at him wailing, her mouth open, dripping with blood. "phew!" lin tian took a deep breath, holding bu mengting''s shoulders, shaking her vigorously, "wake up! wake up!" "wuu, giggle..." in response to lin tian was a creepy laugh. bu mengting stared at him with blood-red eyes and slowly smiled, "can''t wake up!" "fuck you!" lin tian cursed, pressing hard on bu mengting''s neck. faint! suddenly, lin tian was rendered unconscious by bu mengting''s pressing. lin tian carried bu mengting on his shoulder, glanced at wang lan, and shouted, "let''s get out of here first!" after saying that, lin tian carried bu mengting and hurriedly ran outside. seeing lin tian leaving, wang lan quickly followed, and the old man also followed them. get out! get out first before anything else! this situation was very bizarre! lin tian wanted to think his way out first. run! run! lin tian ran for several seconds, suddenly thought of something, stopped abruptly, his face drastically changed. lin tian turned to look at wang lan and the old man, his face grim, "no, we should have been out by now. but why haven''t we gotten out? also, also, we''ve just been here." "ah?" upon hearing this, wang lan involuntarily cried out in fear, not realizing she had been stationary the whole time. "slap! slap!..." at that moment, a rhythmic clapping sound came from the corridor. "la! la..." a series of eerie singing followed the hallway, chilling to the listeners. slowly, a white figure floated over. lin tian''s heart tensed in an instant. "fuck!" lin tian roared again, throwing a punch towards the wall next to him. .......................................... Chapter 123 Vajra Palm Superpower thump!lin tianyi punched a hole through the wall! "go!" he roared, turning quickly into the breach. breaking through the walls! if he couldn''t go around, then he would tear the house down! thump thump! lin tian resolutely moved forward, breaking through any walls that blocked his path with his fists. "la la la..." yet that eerie singing voice continued to follow behind everyone. thump! lin tian broke through another wall. whoosh! holding bu mengting, lin tian rushed into the room. in this room, lin tian hurried deeper inside, and when he reached the next wall, he prepared to break through it again. suddenly, a terrified scream pierced through the silence. "ah!" wang lan''s panicked voice came from behind. lin tian narrowed his eyes sharply and spun around. discover more stories at empire as he turned, he instantly saw wang lan pointing at the bed ahead, her face stricken with fear. lin tian turned his gaze to the bed abruptly. on the worn wooden bed lay two people, their heads covered by quilts and unrecognizable. inhale! taking a deep breath, lin tian cautiously stepped forward and fiercely pulled back the covers! the old woman! lin tian instantly saw the old lady lying on the bed. her body already bore black patches of livor mortis, indicating she had been dead for some time. seeing the old lady, lin tian was momentarily stunned, but after a brief pause, he was alarmed by a thought. beside the old lady lay another person¡ªwho was it? lin tian''s gaze swept beside the old woman and he instantly felt goosebumps, his hair standing on end. "ah ah ah ah!" seeing the person lying beside the grandmother, wang lan screamed in terror; her face wore an expression of disbelief. the grandfather! beside the grandmother was the grandfather, and he too bore black patches of livor mortis. if the grandfather was dead, then who or what was following them... wang lan turned around fearfully. "hehe..." the old man chuckled with a heinous laughter, looking at them both with a sinister expression, "not fun anymore, we''ve been found. old lady, come out!" "hehe..." suddenly, an eerie laugh sounded beside their ears. bite! all of a sudden, lin tian felt a vicious bite to his chest. looking down, lin tian saw bu mengting staring at him with blood-red eyes, her face twisted malevolently. "damn!" lin tian cursed, quickly pulling her away. "this is for you!" bu mengting said with a sinister smile, and then a white shadow drifted out of her body and immediately lunged towards the stunned wang lan. whoosh! lin tian was caught off guard, and in his moment of hesitation, the old man leaped towards him. pfft! in an instant, the old man merged into lin tian''s body. cold! lin tian instantly felt his entire body turning cold with shivers. "giggling..." suddenly, lin tian uttered a weird laugh. but the sound wasn''t something lin tian wanted to make. "ya ya ya! get out, get out!" lin tian''s face contorted with rage. "hehe, you aren''t capable enough!" lin tian''s expression changed yet again, this time revealing a twisted smile. "damn it!" lin tian cursed, struggling to expel the presence from within him. but it was no use! this old man was much more formidable than the old lady! cold! lin tian felt his body becoming colder and colder. lin tian''s complexion grew paler and paler, and his originally rosy lips lost their color. lin tian felt his body stiffening and losing control. slowly, slowly, lin tian even saw himself bending over, opening his mouth to bite towards bu mengting. lin tian tried to get up, but he was completely unable to control his body. "ah ah ah ah ah!" then came wang lan''s screams, one after another, to his ears. fear! fear! "master lin, master lin! think of something, quickly!" wang lan cried out in terror, even wetting herself out of fear. but at that moment, such concerns were the least of her worries as she screamed in fright. it seemed the old woman had had enough fun and lunged straight at wang lan. "ah..." wang lan''s fearful cries abruptly ceased. possessed, wang lan was possessed! her complexion grew paler and paler, and her eyes started to bulge outward. despite losing control of her body, there was still a trace of fear in wang lan''s eyes, along with a faint plea for help. a hint of regret. she regretted coming here. she had actually believed lin tian could do it... regrets... wang lan felt her body growing colder, her consciousness fading, the darkness closing in around her... death! she could sense the presence of death... reluctance; she was filled with so much reluctance... but there was nothing she could do! despair engulfed wang lan''s heart. "huff, huff!" feeling weaker and weaker, lin tian became unprecedentedly anxious. lin tian cursed inwardly: "shit! shit! what''s going on with that precognition superpower, what''s going on! isn''t this danger? why didn''t my superpower activate!" lin tian kept cursing inwardly, now feeling like he was losing control of his body as well¡ªif this wasn''t danger, what was? cold! lin tian felt his body getting colder and colder! his consciousness even started to become hazy. sensing this, lin tian grew anxious and without time to complain, his mind raced: "no, no! there must be a way, there must be a way. the precognition superpower has to be useful, there has to be a way!" s§×arch* the n?velfire(.)net website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. lin tian murmured to himself rapidly inside. "what''s the way, what''s the way?" he frantically reviewed his superpowers, thinking about the ones he possessed! no use! no use! all useless! whether it was the ox power technique, clairvoyance, or even invisibility, none were of any use! these were all physical, useless against the spiritual realm! "dammit! dammit! what to do?" lin tian cursed inwardly. then, adopting the attitude of a drowning man clutching at straws, lin tian used all sorts of superpowers. invisibility, clairvoyance, aquatic lung... he activated every superpower he could. useless! but all to no avail! dark! lin tian felt the darkness encroaching, his consciousness growing blurrier! death! lin tian even started to taste the flavor of death! lin tian felt that if there were no solution soon, he truly would die! "dammit! what to do?!" he roared inside. "superpower! superpowers! that''s right, the superpower menu!" lin tian roared and instantly summoned the superpower menu, yelling, "help! is there any way out?" silence! no answer at all! "system, come out, explode!" lin tian bellowed, his desire erupting from within. darkness... lin tian felt his consciousness nearly dissolving. suddenly, a familiar electronic synthesized voice rang out: "host''s emotional state has reached set requirements, activating system hidden function..." "damn it, quit the bullshit and save me!" lin tian bellowed. "ding! as per the host''s request, activating the vajra palm superpower!" the synthetic voice responded promptly after lin tian spoke. "ya!" just as wang lan was about to lose consciousness, she heard lin tian''s furious shout close by. in an instant, a great golden radiance shone! Chapter 124 Li Xiaomeng "ah! die!" lin tian thundered as he fiercely pressed his palm against his own chest!humming~! golden light radiated from lin tian''s palm! blazing brightness! sizzling~! as lin tian''s palm pressed against his chest, hissing sounds erupted, and along with those sounds, thick black smoke billowed forth. in an instant, a burnt plastic bag stench wafted through the air, mingled with the smell of decay. it was nauseating! "ah!" a scream came from within lin tian''s body, but it was not his voice. "see if you don''t die now!" a ruthless flash crossed lin tian''s eyes as he slammed his palm into his chest once more! sizzling~~~! the sound of burning filled the air. "ah! no! how is this possible!" along with a scream, a white shadow burst out rapidly from lin tian''s body. seeing the shadow emerging from his body, lin tian narrowed his eyes and bellowed, "where do you think you''re going!" "hey!" lin tian pushed with his palm! whoosh! a golden palm emerged from within lin tian''s hand. golden and glittering! it was a palm made of golden light. craackle~! "no!" accompanied by a scream, the golden palm harshly pressed down on the old man. instantly, the old man''s screaming stopped abruptly. whoosh! as the old man died, lin tian felt the temperature around him rise significantly. the surroundings became less dismal. whoosh! suddenly, lin tian caught a glimpse of a white figure swiftly drifting out from wang lan''s body and speeding away. "humph!" with a cold snort, lin tian pushed his palm. whoosh! a glittering golden palm shot out. "ah!" accompanied by a scream, the white shadow was instantly extinguished. as the white shadow vanished, the temperature around surged up suddenly. at this moment, lin tian distinctly felt that the surroundings had improved a lot, no more of the eerie chill from the beginning. "huff! huff!" a deep panting sound came over. lin tian turned his head and saw wang lan lying on the ground, gasping for air, her pale face showing a post-escaped-death expression. lin tian reached for his neck and found his hand covered in blood. then, looking down at bu mengting, who was still unconscious, lin tian was speechless and shook his head before plunging his consciousness into the sea of consciousness. as he immersed his consciousness in the sea of consciousness, a synthetic electronic voice sounded: "mission to help wang lan clear the entity is complete, reward three supernatural points." upon hearing the mission was complete, lin tian let out a sigh of relief, but before he could rejoice, another synthetic electronic voice sounded: "ding dong: reminder, as the host''s emotions reached the required level, a hidden system feature is activated: temporary exchange of superpowers. temporary exchange of superpowers: three supernatural points can be expended to temporarily exchange for a superpower. the temporary superpower is valid for one hour." sear?h the novelfire.net* website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. hearing this prompt, lin tian was stunned, then cursed, "f*ck!" according to this, did he just exchange vajra palm temporarily and use up three supernatural points? with this thought, lin tian''s gaze hurriedly shifted to the supernatural points floating in the space of his sea of consciousness. three! in his line of sight, there were three golden drops of supernatural points floating in midair. before this, lin tian had three supernatural points, and had just gained another three; this meant he should have had six in total. but now, there were only three. find exclusive stories on empire "depressed..." seeing this scene, lin tian was left speechless. he had used up three supernatural points, only to end up with three in return¡ªhe had been busy to no avail all night. the only gain was unlocking a hidden feature of the system. even though it was an achievement, lin tian still felt pretty annoyed. "hm? what''s wrong?" just when lin tian was feeling down, bu mengting, lying on the ground, began to wake up groggily. ** three days later, lin tian told his family he was going out on a long trip. lin tian''s journey was to confirm an answer in his heart. ever since encountering a ghost three days ago, lin tian had been unsettled. damn, how could there be such bizarre things in this world? then lin tian speculated whether this world was full of immortal practitioners soaring through the skies. if that were true, he would be screwed, better tuck his tail between his legs and play it humble. precisely to ascertain this, lin tian deliberately chose those places that were rumored to be strange on the internet. wherever there were legends of ghosts or bizarre incidents mentioned online, lin tian would go there. lin tian really wanted to see if this world was truly filled with vengeful spirits roaming everywhere and immortal practitioners flying in the sky. ten days later, lin tian returned to wu''an city. he left with a face full of worries, but he came back much more at ease in his heart. in those ten days, lin tian visited many places and saw various strange places that were hotly discussed online. he''d even stayed in some deep and ancient forests. but, without exception, lin tian did not discover any supernatural phenomena again. clearly, the ghost he encountered thirteen days ago wasn''t something just anyone could meet, and the world wasn''t as exaggerated as lin tian had thought. it was this discovery that greatly relieved lin tian. thank goodness, this world was still one of ordinary people. after taking a shower upon his return home, lin tian rushed across the street to look for bu mengting. not having seen her for ten days, he genuinely missed her. "in a few days, qianqian will be coming over. when that happens, maybe i can..." while knocking on the door, lin tian started drooling as he fantasized. he was envisioning being embraced from both sides. of course, he knew that was impossible¡ªnow, lin tian didn''t even dare to answer one''s call in front of the other. the discovery of him two-timing would be right at his heels. after indulging his fantasies for a while, lin tian''s thoughts returned to reality, and he pondered with a headache, "what to do, i want both, i want to have my cake and eat it too..." "click!" while lin tian was deep in thought, the sound of the door opening could be heard. "hello, who are you looking for?" a crisp voice rang out. lin tian gathered his thoughts and turned his head, then paused. the one who opened the door was a young girl. the girl wasn''t very old, probably only about twelve or thirteen, wearing a white dress that made her look very cute. the girl had great skin, fair with a hint of rosiness, and her round little face even had some adorable baby fat. at that moment, the little girl was also sucking on a lollipop, smacking her lips from time to time. "uh..." lin tian hesitated for a moment, then replied, "i''m looking for bu mengting, you are...?" "what do you want with my sister?" li xiaomeng looked up at lin tian with a wary expression. "uh..." lin tian hesitated, unsure of what to say. he was puzzled as to how such a cute girl had appeared across from him. "xiaomeng, who is it?" while lin tian was stupefied, the voice of bu mengting came from the room. "mengting, it''s me!" hearing bu mengting''s voice, lin tian quickly said. "lin tian, you''re back? come on in, i''m taking a shower." after speaking, there was a pause, and then bu mengting''s voice came again from inside, "xiaomeng, let him in, he''s the lin tian i told you about." "so you''re lin tian?" li xiaomeng looked up and down at lin tian with a scrutinizing gaze. "what about it?" lin tian curiously glanced back at her. the girl was so cute, and lin tian had a strong desire to pinch her pretty little cheeks. "what''s with that look? i''ll have you know, don''t you dare get any ideas about me¡ªi''m not even of age yet!" noticing lin tian''s gaze, li xiaomeng raised her head with a snort and puffed out her little chest. Chapter 125 Speechless Lin Tian hearing li xiaomeng''s words, lin tianyi was at a loss for words and without a response, he went into the house to change his shoes.however, lin tian noticed that li xiaomeng was developing quite well, a little puffed-up "baozi" already forming on her chest despite her young age. "hey, what are you looking at! pervert, do you need to be taught a lesson?" li xiaomeng, noticing where lin tian''s gaze was resting, became angry and her beautiful large eyes widened in a glare. "uh¡­" lin tian gave an awkward smile, thinking to himself how sharp this little one''s eyes were. lin tian no longer dared to look at her and walked into the living room to sit down on the couch. lin tian didn''t see bu mengting''s uncle and others, so it seemed that only bu mengting and this little girl were home. seeing lin tian sit down and ignore her, li xiaomeng huffed angrily and marched over, positioning herself right in front of lin tian''s line of sight. lin tian felt his view suddenly darken. somewhat surprised, lin tian raised his head to find li xiaomeng standing in front of him, hands on her hips and a dissatisfied look on her face: "why aren''t you paying attention to me? do you think you''re too good for me? do you want to be taught a lesson?" "uh¡­" lin tian was a bit stunned and at a loss for words. why was this little girl always talking about teaching lessons? sweat! but lin tian had to admit, the child was indeed adorable, even her anger seemed cute. after being dazed for a moment, lin tian said with a smile, "no, didn''t you say not to look at you? i''m just doing what you told me!" s§×ar?h the ¦Çovelfire.¦Çet website on google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "that''s not what i meant!" li xiaomeng pouted. then, her shiny black eyes swiveled curiously as she turned to look at lin tian, "i heard from sister that you''re really skilled?" "well, i guess i''m alright," lin tian didn''t know what she was up to, the girl seemed too whimsical, so he didn''t dare to be too forthright. "i heard you can divinate?" li xiaomeng''s eyes widened as she looked at lin tian. "a little bit, i guess," lin tian still didn''t dare to overstate. "really?" excitement flickered in li xiaomeng''s pretty eyes and she looked eagerly at lin tian: "then can you predict how much i scored on my final exams?" "uh, i can''t!" after hesitating, lin tian still refused. he always felt that getting too entangled with this little girl would be to his disadvantage. "you¡­" li xiaomeng glared at lin tian, her pretty eyes beginning to shimmer with tears: "you just said you could earlier, you''re bullying me!" "uh¡­" lin tian was taken aback. seeing the shiny teardrops about to fall, lin tian became somewhat flustered and said, "alright, alright, i''ll do it then!" "that''s more like it!" upon hearing lin tian''s words, li xiaomeng instantly retracted her tears, sucking on her lollipop with a triumphant look on her face. seeing this scene, lin tian was speechless, knowing full well he had been played. still, since he had promised, lin tian planned to do the divination for her. thinking this, lin tian pulled out three one-yuan coins from his pocket. noticing lin tian''s movement, li xiaomeng watched with curiosity, so focused that even the lollipop in her mouth stopped moving. holding the three coins in his hand, lin tian flicked them! whirr~! the coins spun rapidly on the coffee table. the swiftly spinning coins looked like three silvery spinning tops, quite beautiful indeed! seeing this, li xiaomeng''s eyes glittered, her large eyes blinking, as if deep in thought. whirr! clack! suddenly, the coins came to a stop. at the same time, a surge of information entered lin tian''s mind. after thinking for a while, lin tian spoke, "you scored 100 in math, 98 in chinese, and 97 in english." hearing lin tian''s words, li xiaomeng''s eyes widened in amazement. after being stunned for a moment, li xiaomeng licked her lollipop vigorously and exclaimed in surprise, "really? it worked?" lin tian smiled, watching her, but said nothing. "hmm, that''s not right, what if sister told you!" li xiaomeng tilted her head in thought, dismissing the idea. "hmm..." after pondering for a while, li xiaomeng looked at lin tian and called out, "then calculate what i''m most afraid of people finding out about me!" having said that, li xiaomeng stared at lin tian with wide eyes. "you really want me to do it?" lin tian confirmed. hesitating for a moment, li xiaomeng, clutching a lollipop, took a fierce lick and, gritting her teeth, declared, "do it!" "then don''t blame me," lin tian immediately picked up three coins from the coffee table and tossed them again. whirr! the three coins spun rapidly in the air. clap! the coins stopped and a stream of information appeared in lin tian''s mind. seeing this information, lin tian was taken aback for a moment before he couldn''t help but hold back a smile. "hey, what are you doing!" seeing lin tian''s expression, li xiaomeng was dissatisfied and demanded angrily, "what did you calculate? if it''s wrong, hmph!" "you..." looking at li xiaomeng, lin tian couldn''t help but laugh, looking her up and down in a strange manner. "what is it!" li xiaomeng rolled her eyes, looking back at lin tian with dissatisfaction. "haha... to think that you, you still wet the bed at your age!" in the end, lin tian couldn''t contain his laughter any longer. funny! too funny! "you, you..." li xiaomeng looked at lin tian, puffing with anger, her little face turning bright red as she explained hurriedly, "i, it was just an accident, okay?" then, remembering something, li xiaomeng quickly changed her statement, "that''s not true. you''re lying, you''re a bad person! i''m going to tell sister you bullied me! get out! get out! you''re a bad person!" li xiaomeng glared at lin tian, angrily pulling on his sleeve, trying to push him out. "uh..." lin tian looked helpless. li xiaomeng obviously couldn''t budge him, but seeing her really upset, lin tian had no choice but to stand up obediently. "get out!" li xiaomeng pushed lin tian towards the door with her small hands. when lin tian stepped out of the room, li xiaomeng gave him a fierce glare and angrily declared, "i will tell sister! hmph!" having said that, li xiaomeng slammed the door shut with a bang. "uh..." lin tian was at a loss for words. after a moment of stunned silence, lin tian couldn''t help but laugh again, "haha, i can''t believe she still wets the bed at her age..." chuckling to himself, lin tian took out his keys and unlocked the door to his own home. at this time, there was no one else at home, he was alone. back home, lin tian turned on the tv and had barely settled on the couch when suddenly, an urgent knocking sounded at the door. startled by the urgent knock, lin tian was curious who it might be and promptly opened the door. as soon as he opened the door, lin tian saw bu mengting standing there, looking at him furiously. "what''s wrong?" lin tian asked, taken aback. "lin tian, how could you do such a thing!" bu mengting glared at lin tian. continue your adventure at empire "what did i do?" lin tian was genuinely puzzled. "you, you still ask, you actually lifted up xiaomeng''s skirt, how could you do that!" bu mengting continued to glare at lin tian. "what?" lin tian was dumbfounded, then his gaze shifted past bu mengting to li xiaomeng standing behind her. glancing over, he caught li xiaomeng sticking out her tongue at lin tian. lin tian was speechless... Chapter 126 Gathering "No, it''s not like that, I..." Lin Tian quickly tried to explain."Wah! Bad guy! Bad guy! He''s so bad, lifting my skirt and even wanting to take off my pants!" Seeing Lin Tian try to explain, Li Xiaomeng quickly burst into tears. Tears instantly streamed from her eyes. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian was dumbfounded. Her crying was just too convincing. "Okay okay, Xiaomeng, don''t cry!" Seeing Li Xiaomeng cry, Bu Mengting quickly knelt down to comfort her. After comforting her for a while, Bu Mengting turned around and glared angrily at Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, why would you do such a thing! I''m so disappointed in you!" "It''s not..." Lin Tian hurriedly tried to explain. "Wuuu, he still won''t admit it, such a bad man!" Seeing Lin Tian trying to explain again, Xiaomeng started crying woefully again. "Xiaomeng, don''t cry, don''t cry!" Bu Mengting hurriedly comforted her. Seeing Xiaomeng like this, Lin Tian was at a loss for words. Her face could change so quickly; this little girl''s acting was just too good. And at that moment, noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, Li Xiaomeng secretly stuck out her tongue at Lin Tian, her face full of triumph. Seeing Xiaomeng''s smug expression, Lin Tian was even more speechless. Lin Tian opened his mouth wanting to say something, but seeing Lin Tian trying to speak, Li Xiaomeng quickly cried out, "Sis, this man is so bad, don''t play with him!" "Alright! We won''t play with him! Let''s go back first." Helplessly, Bu Mengting, seeing Li Xiaomeng crying fiercely, had no choice but to grab her and prepare to leave. As she was leaving, Bu Mengting gave Lin Tian a stern glare. Seeing Bu Mengting''s expression, Lin Tian was stunned, thinking, no way, Mengting actually believes it? Seeing Bu Mengting''s expression, she really did believe what Li Xiaomeng said. So wronged! Too wronged! Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian didn''t want to leave such an impression in Bu Mengting''s heart. After thinking for a while, Lin Tian hurriedly approached and grabbed Bu Mengting''s arm. "What are you doing!" Bu Mengting huffed coldly. "It''s nothing, I just want to speak to Xiaomeng for a moment!" Helplessly shaking his head, Lin Tian took Li Xiaomeng''s little hand and walked to the side. While walking, Lin Tian looked back at Bu Mengting and said, "Don''t come over yet, I just want to talk to Xiaomeng for a few words." After hesitating for a while, Bu Mengting did not come over but just watched them from a distance. As he walked Li Xiaomeng to the stairwell, Lin Tian helplessly looked at her, "My dear, what are you trying to do?" "Hmph! Who asked you to talk nonsense!" Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly, her face displeased as she looked at Lin Tian. "How did I talk nonsense, you..." "Still talking!" Li Xiaomeng directly interrupted Lin Tian. Lin Tian, a face of helplessness; "Clearly it was you who was at fault..." "It''s your fault if you''re wrong, and it''s still your fault even if I''m wrong! Don''t you get it!" Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly, puffing up her little chest. "Even if I don''t?" Lin Tian looked at her speechlessly. "If you don''t, I''ll cry!" Li Xiaomeng pouted, her face threatening as she looked at Lin Tian. "Uhh..." Lin Tian was speechless. To cry! Continue reading stories on empire What a grand threat! Lin Tian had seen Li Xiaomeng''s crying skills; truly, she could cry on cue, and she was serious about it. The most important thing was that such a cute little girl crying made everyone unable to bear it. Just now, Lin Tian had witnessed her skills. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian looked at her helplessly, "You tell me, what do you want to do?" "Agree to three conditions!" Li Xiaomeng stretched out three fair fingers. "You say." Lin Tian said somewhat helplessly. "First, you cannot talk about the bed-wetting incident." Xiaomeng''s gaze fixed on Lin Tian''s eyes. "Okay!" Lin Tian nodded immediately. He dared not mention it anymore; with today''s events, if he did in the future and she found out, he would be in trouble. "Second: from now on, you must listen to me!" Hearing this request, Lin Tian hesitated for a moment but still nodded. The request sounded somewhat unreasonable, but whether or not he would listen to her in the future was still up to him to decide. It was better to agree first. And as if predicting Lin Tian''s thoughts, Li Xiaomeng waved her little fist at him, warning, "If you dare not keep your word, see how I''ll teach you a lesson!" "Teach me a lesson..." Hearing this, Lin Tian was speechless. "Go on, what''s your next request?" Lin Tian sounded weary. This girl was the most whimsical girl Lin Tian had ever met. "The third request..." Li Xiaomeng paused for a moment, then looked at Lin Tian and slowly started, "The third request is I want you to buy me chips, I love chips the most!" "Just that?" Lin Tian was stunned, then nodded inside. Buying chips, no problem! "Wait! I haven''t finished yet!" Seeing Lin Tian agree so quickly, Li Xiaomeng hurriedly said. "What''s the matter? Isn''t it just buying chips?" Lin Tian looked at her curiously. "It is buying chips, but not just one bag!" "So how many?" Lin Tian curiously looked at her. Li Xiaomeng slowly stretched out two fingers. "Two bags? Or twenty bags?" Lin Tian guessed. Li Xiaomeng shook her head. "Those two hundred packets?" Lin Tian looked at her in astonishment. "No, it''s two thousand!" Li Xiaomeng seriously looked at Lin Tian. "Ah? Two thousand?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was completely stunned. "So tell me, are you buying or not?" Li Xiaomeng looked at Lin Tian with her nose wrinkled. "Yes, yes! Not just two thousand, even if it was twenty thousand I''d buy!" Coming back to his senses, Lin Tian hurriedly said. "That''s better!" Hearing Lin Tian agree, Li Xiaomeng nodded contentedly, then her face lit up expectantly, "I''m so excited, more chips to eat!" Seeing Li Xiaomeng''s expectant expression, Lin Tian muttered under his breath, "Such a little foodie, and here I thought Mengting was the foodie, but who knew one even more extreme would appear." "What did you say?" Li Xiaomeng, thinking she heard something, glared at Lin Tian. "Ah, nothing!" Lin Tian quickly said with a laugh. "Hmph! If I hear you speak badly of me again, I''ll really teach you a lesson!" Li Xiaomeng huffed. "Teach lesson¡­" Hearing this phrase, Lin Tian was speechless again. Indeed, Lin Tian realized he was indeed being taught a lesson by her. Speechless, who could blame him since she was Mengting''s sister and so adorable. Lin Tian accepted it. The two sorted things out and then went downstairs, where Mengting was still waiting. "What were you two talking about up there!" Mengting looked at Lin Tian suspiciously. She was seriously starting to suspect Lin Tian had some shady habits. She knew Lin Tian was quite lascivious, but she hadn''t considered this aspect before¡­ "It was nothing, sis, I was just joking around!" Now that Lin Tian had agreed to her terms, Li Xiaomeng also decided to keep her promise and began to explain. "What? Did he threaten you? Don''t be afraid, your sister is here." Mengting was afraid Lin Tian might have coerced Li Xiaomeng. "No way!" Holding Mengting''s hand, Li Xiaomeng hung her head and shyly swayed Mengting''s arm, acting coquettishly, "Actually, he started by saying I wasn''t pretty, which made me mad. Actually, he really didn''t do anything." "Really? For real?" Mengting looked at her skeptically. "Really! Really!" Li Xiaomeng nodded affirmatively. Mengting looked doubtfully at the two of them, although she was skeptical, she didn''t say much. "Sis, let''s go watch TV inside." Afraid Mengting would bring it up again, Li Xiaomeng cheerfully pulled Mengting''s hand and they went inside. It must be said, when Li Xiaomeng acts cute, she truly is unbeatable, even Mengting can''t compare. While pulling Mengting by the hand into the room, they found Lin Tian still in the hallway in a daze, then Li Xiaomeng turned around and called out to Lin Tian, "Brother-in-law, what are you standing there for, come inside!" "Brother-in-law?" Hearing this nickname, Lin Tian was startled, instantly filled with love! Brother-in-law! Nobody had ever called him that before! It was worth it! Instantly, Lin Tian felt that the two thousand chips were well spent. Li Xiaomeng was really effective when it came to handling matters! Hearing this nickname, Mengting also startled, and then a blush rose beautifully on her face, she lightly slapped Li Xiaomeng''s head, "What are you saying, talking nonsense!" But despite saying so, the deep shyness and joy could not be hidden. Lin Tian naturally sensed the shyness in Mengting''s words, he chuckled, closed the door to his place, and scampered over to Mengting''s home while cheerfully shouting, "Brother-in-law is here!" "Stop talking nonsense!" Hearing this, Mengting''s face turned red and she hit Lin Tian lightly, her face filled with shyness. Lin Tian laughed loudly, and sneakily grabbed Mengting''s butt. "You¡­" Mengting widened her eyes. Lin Tian chuckled and quickly changed his shoes to run inside. An hour later, as Lin Tian watched Boonie Bears with the two girls at Li Xiaomeng''s place, he suddenly felt his phone vibrate. Lin Tian took out his phone and was startled. It was He Qianqian who had called. Feeling guilty, Lin Tian quickly put his phone on silent. "Who''s that?" Mengting turned her head and glanced at Lin Tian. "It''s nothing, just a message," Lin Tian said, somewhat unnaturally. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s not, you''re lying, let me see!" Li Xiaomeng, noticing the unnatural look in Lin Tian''s eyes, shouted as she lunged at him. "What for!" Lin Tian defended with his hands. "Buzz-buzz~!" At that moment, Lin Tian''s phone vibrated again in his hand. Lin Tian looked, it wasn''t He Qianqian calling this time, he sighed with relief, then hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, class leader?" "A get-together? When? Sure! Alright, I''ll let Mengting know." After hanging up, Lin Tian turned to Mengting, who was watching TV, and said, "The class leader just called, there''s a reunion tomorrow before college starts, are you going?" "A gathering? Are you going?" Startled for a moment, Mengting asked. "Let''s go, we''re free anyway," Lin Tian nodded. "I want to go too!" Suddenly, Li Xiaomeng raised her hand. "You? What are you going there for? Go play on your own!" Lin Tian said with an exasperated face. "No, I''m going!" Li Xiaomeng pouted and turned, then violently swung her little fists at Lin Tian. The threat was unmistakable. Seeing this, Lin Tian was speechless. A face of resignation. Chapter 127 Old Acquaintance! "I''m going, I''m going!" Li Xiaomeng pouted and shouted loudly.Shaking his head, Lin Tian spoke somewhat helplessly, "Fine, let''s go." sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Would that be a bit inappropriate?" Bu Mengting hesitated. "It''s nothing, we''re just bringing one more person. Besides, our little Meng is so cute!" Lin Tian smiled warmly at Li Xiaomeng. "Exactly!" Upon hearing Lin Tian say this, Li Xiaomeng lifted her head proudly. While speaking, Xiaomeng also gave Lin Tian a wink, showing she was very pleased with his performance. "Alright then." Seeing Lin Tian say this, Bu Mengting didn''t say much more. After all, it was just bringing one extra person along; it was no big deal. "Ah! It''s starting!" While Lin Tian and Mengting were chatting, Li Xiaomeng suddenly pointed at the TV and screamed excitedly. Lin Tian turned his head to look and realized that the advertisements had ended and "Boonie Bears" had started again. Watching distractedly for a while, Lin Tian then found an opportunity to step out. Taking advantage of this moment, Lin Tian dialed He Qianqian''s phone. "Hello, Qianqian?" "Yeah, why didn''t you answer the phone just now?" He Qianqian''s familiar voice came through the phone. "I didn''t see it just now!" Lin Tian laughed awkwardly. "Yeah, just to let you know, I''ll be taking the train back to Wu''an the day after tomorrow." "The day after tomorrow?" Lin Tian paused, then said, "What time is your train? I''ll come pick you up!" "No need for that, you go on with your work!" "Where''s that, what can I be busy with? Besides, what matter could be more important than my dear wife, right?" Lin Tian joked. "Flatterer!" He Qianqian scolded with a laugh, but her tone clearly revealed her joy. Lin Tian naturally heard the joy in He Qianqian''s tone and then cheerfully said, "Beauty, give me a chance to show up. Tell me, what time is your train?" "Hmm, arrives at three in the afternoon." After thinking it over, He Qianqian finally spoke. "All right, I''ll be there early!" Lin Tian immediately promised. After chatting with He Qianqian for a few more sentences, Lin Tian hung up the phone and then took a deep breath before returning to the room. Back in the living room, seeing Bu Mengting sitting on the couch focused on the TV, and then thinking about He Qianqian... Lin Tian felt very troubled. He wanted both, but... Shaking his head, Lin Tian stopped thinking about it and sat down on the couch to continue watching TV. Before long, bursts of laughter filled the air. ** The next day, at nine in the morning, Lin Tian got dressed, opened his bedroom door, and was about to call Bu Mengting out when, to his surprise, he saw Bu Mengting coming out of her house. "I was just about to call you!" Lin Tian paused, then smiled. "Hmph! We wouldn''t be late!" No sooner had Lin Tian spoken than Li Xiaomeng''s voice came from behind Mengting. Lin Tian looked past Bu Mengting and his eyes brightened at the sight of Li Xiaomeng. Cute! Very cute. Today, Li Xiaomeng was dressed in a pink dress, her fair skin complemented by the cute dress, making her look like a cute girl straight out of a comic. "Look at what, you perv!" Seeing Lin Tian eying her, Li Xiaomeng rolled her eyes. Despite her words, she proudly puffed up her small chest. "Let''s go!" Bu Mengting chuckled and pinched Li Xiaomeng''s cheek. "Sister, I already told you not to pinch my face!" Li Xiaomeng slapped Bu Mengting''s hand away, pouting with an aggrieved expression. Seeing Li Xiaomeng''s fair and rosy cheeks, Lin Tian also wanted to pinch them, but he dared not. "Let''s go, let''s go, time for a feast!" Li Xiaomeng giggled, then quickly ran toward the staircase. "Let''s go." Bu Mengting, hooking her arm through Lin Tian''s, followed behind. Stepping out of the complex, the trio hailed a taxi. "Master, to Wang Guan Hotel." Wang Guan Hotel was the venue for this class reunion. As far as Lin Tian knew, it was a five-star hotel. Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped outside Wang Guan Hotel. Following that, Lin Tian and his two companions walked toward the hotel''s main entrance. While walking, Lin Tian pulled out his cell phone and made a call, "Hello, class leader, I''ve arrived. Oh, okay." Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire Upon reaching the entrance, Lin Tian said to the receptionist standing outside, "We are here to attend the gathering organized by Zhong Jialiang." "Oh, Mr. Zhong mentioned, this way please, I''ll take you there," said the receptionist in a cheongsam, smiling slightly, bowing a bit, and gesturing them to follow her. Following the receptionist, Lin Tian and his companions arrived at the hotel''s second-floor lobby. Upon entering the lobby, Lin Tian saw many classmates had already arrived. Numerous classmates were sitting around chatting inside the hall. "Lin Tian, Mengting..." Upon seeing Lin Tian, Zhong Jialiang immediately came over. "Come, let''s sit in the lobby for a bit until everyone arrives for the meal," Zhong Jialiang said cheerfully. "I hope you don''t mind that I brought a little sister?" Lin Tian said, patting Zhong Jialiang on the shoulder with a smile. Hearing this, Zhong Jialiang looked towards Li Xiaomeng. His eyes lit up upon seeing her and then he laughed heartily, "Of course not! Such a cute little sister is naturally welcome!" "That''s good!" Lin Tian nodded. This time the reunion was entirely funded by Zhong Jialiang alone, so bringing Li Xiaomeng naturally required his approval. "You guys have a seat, I''ll go check if the other classmates have arrived," Zhong Jialiang said after chatting for a bit. "Sure!" Lin Tian, along with Bu Mengting and Li Xiaomeng, then walked toward the lobby. While they were chatting, just as the meal was about to start, suddenly, a small exclamation came from beside Lin Tian''s ear, "Look, these people have quite an aura! So cool!" "Who are they?" someone asked curiously. "Look there!" one of them pointed towards the downstairs lobby. Curious, Lin Tian then looked toward the downstairs lobby. Through the glass, Lin Tian saw a group of people entering from the outside. This group had a dozen men dressed in black suits appearing as bodyguards, surrounding seven or eight individuals. Leading these people was a young man. Seeing this person, Lin Tian was startled. An acquaintance! Wu Fei! Lin Tian remembered his name. "Heh..." With a light chuckle, Lin Tian also remembered that it was this man who had orchestrated the first time he was shot. This man was the one who wanted to kill Lin Tian in Ya Wu, also the son of the casino owner Wu Bin. After being shot, Lin Tian had even rushed to his house, intending to kill Wu Fei but had eventually spared him. "What a coincidence!" murmured Lin Tian, looking at Wu Fei. At that moment, Wu Fei appeared much more mature and imposing than he did before. Accompanying him was another man in his thirties, who kept talking to him now and then while walking. And Wu Fei just nodded slightly in response. "Who is this, with such grandeur!" remarked the classmates upstairs, seeing Wu Fei. Chapter 128 What a Great Prestige Everyone was very curious about Wu Fei''s identity.Hearing everyone''s discussion, Lin Tian didn''t seem that interested. Wu Fei? To him, it wasn''t a big deal at all. After chatting for a while and seeing that all the classmates had arrived, Zhong Jialiang said, "Alright, classmates, let''s eat." The classmates then headed toward the private room. "Yay! Time for a feast!" Li Xiaomeng exclaimed excitedly upon hearing it was time to eat. She had never dined in such an upscale place before. As the dishes were served and some drinks followed, the atmosphere instantly became lively. An hour later, Lin Tian had already downed five or six bottles of beer. Drinking so much, he felt a bit dizzy. Despite feeling a tad woozy, Lin Tian was very happy; he had never had such an opportunity in the past. Pouring himself another glass, Lin Tian grabbed Wang Gang''s hand and said, "Deskmate, cheers!" "Alright, cheers!" Wang Gang, also riding high on spirits, agreed heartily. "Ah!" Just as Lin Tian was tilting his head back to down his glass, a girl''s piercing scream suddenly rang out. "Slap!" A loud slap was followed by a curse: "Damn, are you blind?" Hearing this voice, the classmates in the private room were all startled and immediately surged outside. The sound of the conflict was close, probably just outside the private room. Lin Tian, curious, also made his way out. Stepping outside, he immediately saw a man in white clothes kicking and berating a qipao-clad waiter near the entrance to their room. Beside the girl lay a spill of dishes. It seemed to be the food intended for Lin Tian and his companions'' room. "Damn, are you blind?" the man in white clothes snarled, viciously grabbing the girl''s hair. Lin Tian noticed the man''s face flushed red, his eyes somewhat hazy; clearly, he had drunk quite a bit. Feeling the man looked somewhat familiar, Lin Tian thought back and instantly remembered. Wasn''t this man one of those who had followed Wu Fei? "You, come here!" After kicking the girl a few times, the man in white bent down, grabbed her clothes, and started dragging her toward another room down the hallway. Rip~! The force of his action tore her dress, and her purple bra was momentarily exposed. The girl''s indiscrete exposure happened in an instant. "Please, don''t! I beg you!" The girl looked at him with a pleading face. "Cut the crap, come with me!" the man kept dragging her forward. At this point, hotel management also came running over, attempting to soothe the situation. But the man paid them no heed and even scolded them. Knowing the man''s background, the hotel staff didn''t dare talk back and even nodded submissively. "This is too much!" A male classmate couldn''t stand it any longer and wanted to intervene. "Don''t go!" Seeing this unfold, Zhong Jialiang hurriedly pulled them back, speaking urgently, "Do you know who he is? He''s one of Lei Jun''s men. We can''t interfere." "Why, are we just supposed to watch this happen?" "Exactly, is Lei Jun really so terrifying?" someone retorted discontentedly. "Then, then what do we do? Just watch?" After a pause, someone said weakly. Their resolve wasn''t as strong as before. "Sigh, what can we do? This world is a dog-eat-dog world!" Sighing, although with some reluctance, Zhong Jialiang felt helpless. Your journey continues with empire Lei Jun? He dared not provoke him. Lin Tian frowned, patted his somewhat dizzy head, and was about to move forward when suddenly a loud shout came. "Hey, let go!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was startled, his steps halted, and he looked forward. He saw a tall man, about six feet tall with a strong build, suddenly rush over. The moment the man arrived, he threw a right hook and a knee strike, instantly bringing the man in white to the ground. Stunned! Seeing the man appear so abruptly, everyone was taken aback, not expecting someone to intervene. The girl too, was startled; she never imagined someone would come to her rescue. "Are you okay?" the man squatted down, looking at the girl with a face full of concern. "This guy''s done for¡­" Zhong Jialiang shook his head as he watched the scene unfold. "What''s wrong?" a classmate asked curiously. "Just you wait and see." Before the words were fully spoken, suddenly the door to the private room opened, and four or five men came out. Lin Tian remembered that these men had been together with the man in white. Seeing the man in white on the ground, the men hurried over, helped him up, and asked anxiously, "Brother Wu, are you alright?" "I''m fine!" Wu Zhong rubbed his stomach fiercely, his eyes fixed on the man with a venomous stare, then he reached towards his waist and quickly pulled out a black handgun. Wu Zhong stepped forward quickly, pointed the gun aggressively at the man''s forehead, and said viciously, "Motherfucker, think you''re tough, huh? Try moving now?" Cold! Cold sweat! Seeing the handgun in the man''s hand, many students broke out in cold sweat. A handgun, it was a handgun! At the same time, many students felt relieved they hadn''t acted impulsively. With the cold muzzle pointed at his forehead, the man was stunned; he could never have anticipated this turn of events¡­ And witnessing the handgun, the girl who thought she had been saved was dumbstruck. Just as Lin Tian was debating whether to step in, suddenly, he saw another person walk out of the private room. Seeing this person, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. Lei Jun! This was the Lei Jun mentioned by Zhong Jialiang. After leaving the room, Lei Jun walked over with a slight frown, scanned the scene, and looked at Wu Zhong with some displeasure, "What''s going on? Don''t you know I''m hosting Mr. Wu? Get this sorted out quickly!" "Yes!" Wu Zhong nodded hastily. After sweeping the scene with his gaze once more, Lei Jun turned around indifferently, acting as if nothing had happened, and headed back to the private room. Meanwhile, the girl was consumed with despair, wishing so desperately for someone to appear, someone to save her¡­ Just as the girl was filled with anticipation, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Rescue ****. Mission reward: One Supernatural Point." Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With the electronic synthesis, the girl''s figure began to flicker with red light. That was the light of the mission. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was taken aback; a mission had arrived. After a moment''s pause, shaking his somewhat dizzy head, Lin Tian stepped forward. Clack clack! The silence of the scene was pierced by the sound of Lin Tian''s footsteps, drawing everyone''s attention toward him. Lin Tian yawned, looking at the group with a face full of scorn: "Quite the pomp and show, huh!" Chapter 129 Apology ```Upon hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Lei Jun halted, then slowly turned around. As he turned, Lei Jun frowned slightly as he looked at the young man. "Lin Tian!" Seeing Lin Tian step out, Zhong Jialiang was taken aback, then ran over anxiously. "What are you doing! Come back!" Zhong Jialiang grabbed Lin Tian''s arm, trying to pull him back. But Lin Tian''s strength was not something Zhong Jialiang could contend with. Zhong Jialiang couldn''t pull Lin Tian at all, and instead, Lin Tian''s hand shook, flinging Zhong Jialiang''s arm away. After shaking off Zhong Jialiang''s arm, Lin Tian patted his somewhat dizzy head and walked forward with slightly unsteady steps. He had drunk too much and felt a bit dizzy! "Ah!" Seeing that Lin Tian not only didn''t listen to his advice but continued to walk over, Zhong Jialiang let out a frustrated sigh. Does he have a death wish? Does he really think Lei Jun wouldn''t dare to kill someone? That''s too presumptuous. Seeing Lin Tian step out, all the classmates were somewhat dumbfounded. Just a moment ago, they were still shocked that the other party dared to pull out a handgun, feeling tense and fearful, and now Lin Tian had actually run out? S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Is he not afraid of death? Many classmates knew Lin Tian was a good fighter, but could he really outfight a handgun? They felt Lin Tian was too impulsive and began to worry about him. Even Li Xiaomeng, sitting next to them, gaped with a look of astonishment, as she had not expected Lin Tian to go out. Lin Tian swayed, shaking his somewhat dizzy head, and walked over unsteadily. Walking slowly to Wu Zhong, with a tilt of his head, Lin Tian looked at him with a face full of sarcasm, "Carrying a handgun sure makes you feel important, huh!" "You fucking want to die, don''t you!" Wu Zhong narrowed his eyes, suddenly lifting the handgun against Lin Tian, with a glint of viciousness in his eyes. Looking at the dark muzzle of the gun, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and slowly extended his hand to push the gun''s muzzle away, saying coldly, "Stop trying to scare me with that!" "Let''s see if I''m just trying to scare you!" Wu Zhong let out a cold laugh, as his muscles tensed up, looking like he really intended to fire. Seeing this scene, everyone swallowed hard, their faces drawn with tension. Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils constricting. He was about to take action when suddenly a loud voice came, "Wait!" It was Lei Jun''s voice. Lei Jun walked over slowly, glanced at Wu Zhong, and ordered, "Put the gun down." Upon hearing Lei Jun''s words, Wu Zhong immediately put down the handgun. He dared not disobey Lei Jun. After Wu Zhong put down the handgun, Lei Jun turned with a smile on his face to look at Lin Tian, "You are...?" The smile on Lei Jun''s face was very gentle; people who didn''t know him would never suspect that he was a notorious gang leader in Wu''an City. Seeing the gentle smile on Lei Jun''s face, Lin Tian was also taken aback. Then he said with an air of nonchalance, "I''m nobody special, just an ordinary citizen with no background." "Is that so?" Lei Jun''s face softened again into a smile as he calmly looked at Lin Tian, "Then, I''m sorry, but no one has ever dared to talk to me like that!" After speaking, Lei Jun glanced at Wu Zhong and turned away without another word. Seeing this, the girl sitting on the ground despaired. She had thought that this boy''s appearance might lead to a turn of events, had hoped that the boy had some kind of powerful background, but who could have expected... this outcome¡­ The girl naturally knew what kind of person Lei Jun was... The thought of what was about to happen next made her tremble slightly. The man who began by trying to save her now didn''t dare move. Although he was strong, he could tell these were gangsters. They even dared to draw a handgun; being rash now was simply suicidal, wasn''t it? He even began to regret his own impulsiveness. He could never have imagined an attempt at being a hero would end like this. "Ah! You''re so reckless. You never listen when people talk!" Hearing the dialogue between Lin Tian and Lei Jun, Zhong Jialiang slapped his thigh in irritation. He was annoyed that Lin Tian ignored his advice. All for the sake of showing off. Do you even know who Lei Jun is? And who do you think you are? Everyone thought that Lin Tian was going to suffer, and the classmates all watched tensely. They wanted to help, but seeing the handgun, they dared not move. Watching Lei Jun turn to leave, Lin Tian scanned the crowd and said slowly, "The one inside the private room is Wu Fei, right? Tell him to come out here!" At these words, Lei Jun froze, paused for a moment with a look of incredulity, then turned around, astonished by Lin Tian, "You are...?" This time Lei Jun was truly surprised. This man actually knew Wu Fei? And he dared to talk to him in that tone. Lin Tian didn''t pay him any heed and yelled towards the open door of the opposite private room, "Wu Fei, get the hell out here!" Silence! Following Lin Tian''s roar, the scene fell into absolute quiet. Many were unclear about what was happening. ``` ``` Staring blankly at Lin Tian "Wu Fei, get the fuck out here!" Wu Fei, who was drinking in the private room, was startled by the shouting outside, and a flash of confusion crossed his eyes. The voice sounded very familiar... After being stunned for a moment, Wu Fei got up and headed towards the exit of the private room. As soon as he stepped out of the room, Wu Fei''s gaze swept through the corridor and immediately fixed on Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian, Wu Fei was stunned again, then his face broke into an enthusiastic smile, and he quickly walked over, "Brother Lin, it''s you! What brings you here?" Wu Fei was very enthusiastic, and as soon as he saw Lin Tian, he came over quickly, gripping Lin Tian''s hand warmly and appearing extremely delighted. Uh... Seeing this scene, everyone was taken aback. Zhong Jialiang certainly recognized him; it was the same young man who had taken the lead when they first came in. But the question was, how could he possibly be in contact with Lin Tian, and moreover, he even seemed somewhat obsequious to Lin Tian? Zhong Jialiang could discern Wu Fei''s attitude towards Lin Tian, and Lei Jun could certainly see it as well. Seeing this scene, Lei Jun was also somewhat stunned, realizing that he might have misjudged the situation. "It''s nothing." Lin Tian felt awkward with his hand being held by Wu Fei, pulled it back, and turned his head towards the girl on the ground, "These people were a bit too much, I couldn''t just watch, you see..." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wu Fei was taken aback, looked around, and immediately understood what had happened. Right after, Wu Fei turned to Lei Jun and said with a smile, "Brother Jun, let''s put it behind us for my sake." "Of course, of course! It''s the fault of these trash under me!" Lei Jun laughed heartily, then turned to Wu Zhong and barked, "Well? Help this young lady up immediately. What are you showing off? I''ve told you to keep it low-key when you''re outside!" "Yes, yes!" Taken aback, Wu Zhong nodded repeatedly and then carefully helped Jingjing up. Lin Tian frowned as he glanced at the palm print on the girl''s face, "You''ve beaten her to this state, and you''re just going to let it go?" "Not at all, not at all!" Lei Jun kept laughing apologetically, then turned to Wu Zhong and ordered, "Hurry up and apologize to the young lady, and later, give her one hundred thousand yuan as compensation for medical expenses." "Yes, yes!" Wu Zhong dared not refute Lei Jun and kept nodding. As he spoke, Wu Zhong bowed continuously to Jingjing, "I''m sorry! I''m sorry! It''s my fault! I was wrong!" As he said this, Wu Zhong slapped himself fiercely. The slap was fierce, and instantly a bright red handprint appeared on Wu Zhong''s face. "This..." Jingjing stared, stunned at this turn of events, which were changing too rapidly for her to comprehend. At the same time, she was also very curious about the background of the boy who saved her, which could make Lei Jun apologize like this... This sudden development was also shocking to the onlookers. Zhong Jialiang was dumbfounded at this scene, looking at Lin Tian somewhat dazedly. After a moment of shock, Zhong Jialiang inwardly fumed, "Damn! What background does Lin Tian have to make Lei Jun kowtow? How could he be so powerful? I''ve never realized this before, is he playing dumb?" Zhong Jialiang was truly shocked by Lin Tian''s performance today. The classmates nearby were also staring blankly at the scene. Shock! Everyone was shocked by Lin Tian''s performance today. Seeing Wu Zhong slapping himself, a hint of approval flickered in Lei Jun''s eyes. Wu Zhong wasn''t stupid. Wu Zhong''s action was obviously meant to lessen Lin Tian''s anger greatly. Indeed, seeing Wu Zhong''s attitude so compliant, Lin Tian was also somewhat stunned. Noticing Lin Tian''s expression, Lei Jun nodded with satisfaction, then patted Lin Tian on the shoulder and chuckled, "Sorry about earlier, bro. It was a case of friendly fire! My bad! My bad! I''ll drink three cups as an apology later!" Stay tuned to empire "Uh, it''s fine..." Seeing the warm smile on Lei Jun''s face, which made it look as if he knew Lin Tian very well. Honestly, Lin Tian didn''t really like to deal with people whose mood changes were faster than flipping through a book. Just a smiling tiger. But he had to admit, Lei Jun''s smile seemed sincere, as if he really meant to make amends with Lin Tian. "Come on, have a drink with me as an apology. I didn''t know you were here, or else I would have come over sooner." Lei Jun was still very enthusiastic, although he had no idea who Lin Tian was. A person treated thusly by Wu Fei couldn''t be someone without connections, could he? "Brother, got time for a drink?" Wu Fei also looked at Lin Tian with a beaming smile. Lin Tian glanced at the two of them and nodded. "Great, that''s the spirit! Let''s go!" Lei Jun exclaimed with joy, laughing as he wrapped his arm around Lin Tian''s shoulder and walked towards the private room, showing great enthusiasm. Actually, Lin Tian didn''t want to drink, but such unavoidable social exchanges were still necessary. Lin Tian wasn''t foolish; Lei Jun surely had significant influence in Wu''an City, and there might be times in the future when Lin Tian would need his help. Saving face is all about building it up for each other. So, even though he was somewhat reluctant, Lin Tian still went along. Seeing Lei Jun''s arm around Lin Tian''s shoulder, warmly, Zhong Jialiang was stunned, staring blankly. After a moment, Zhong Jialiang again inwardly exclaimed, "Damn, I really couldn''t tell with Lin Tian before!" And the nearby classmates also stared blankly at this scene, yet to react. "Excuse me, I''m very sorry! I''ll call immediately to send you to the hospital, and we''ll cover your medical fees and compensation right away!" Even though Lin Tian had left, Wu Zhong''s attitude towards Jingjing was still very respectful. Jingjing stood there, dazed as if in a dream. "That boy''s family must be really powerful, huh?" Jingjing thought, still bewildered. ``` Chapter 130 You Are a Remarkable Person In the private room, Wu Fei smiled and said to Lei Jun, "Brother Jun, Brother Lin is the person I was just telling you about!""Ah!" Lei Jun was startled, then looked at Lin Tian with a surprised face, "Brother Lin, you are the expert Wu was just talking about?" "Huh?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback. He then realized that the two must have been talking about him, and that Wu Fei must have mentioned the incident that happened between them. After a moment, Lin Tian figured it out and smiled, "An expert? Hardly. I just have a bit of brute strength!" "Not at all, Wu said you''re quite the wonder!" Lei Jun looked at Lin Tian with a grin, then leaned in with a somewhat mysterious demeanor, "Brother Lin, could you show me a trick and broaden my horizons?" Seeing Lei Jun''s smiling face, Lin Tian knew that if he refused today, his stature in Lei Jun''s eyes would certainly fall dramatically. With the aim to make another friend, Lin Tian did not refuse. He smiled slightly and nodded slowly. Seeing Lin Tian nod, Lei Jun''s eyes widened with curiosity. Discover hidden tales at empire It wasn''t just Lei Jun, the others at the dinner table were also watching Lin Tian. Wu Fei had really talked him up earlier. Glancing at everyone, Lin Tian smiled and slowly extended his hand, reaching slowly toward the edge of the dining table. Ssssh! As Lin Tian made his move, the solid wood tabletop was instantly torn off by him! Effortlessly, Lin Tian''s expression showed that he hadn''t used much strength¡­ With the wood in his hand, Lin Tian''s hand slowly crushed it, and a few seconds later, Lin Tian slowly opened his clenched hand. Rustle... With Lin Tian''s movement, bits of sawdust emerged from the palm of his hand. Turned to powder! Lin Tian actually turned the wood in his hand to powder with a single grab! Seeing this scene, everyone''s eyes widened. This strength... Lei Jun also stared dumbfounded, paused for a moment, then came to his senses and shouted loudly, "Amazing!" "Amazing!" Hearing Lei Jun''s laugh, the others at the dinner table quickly reacted and shouted eagerly in response. Lin Tian smiled and said nothing. A few minutes later, Lin Tian left the private room, and Lei Jun personally escorted him out. "Brother Lei, no need to send me off. Go back," Lin Tian turned around, smiling. "Okay, okay, call me when you''re free," Lei Jun replied with a grin. "Yeah, see you!" Lin Tian chuckled, then left the private room and headed to his class''s room. Back at his class''s room, Lin Tian found that his classmates had not left yet; they were all gathered together, discussing something. "Lin Tian is here!" Seeing Lin Tian, a classmate yelled, and then all the classmates crowded around him. "Lin Tian¡­" Various questions were directed at him. Everyone was dazzled by Lin Tian''s performance today. "Uh..." Facing the enthusiastic classmates, Lin Tian casually responded while concentrating most of his attention on his Sea of Consciousness. As Lin Tian focused his attention on the Sea of Consciousness, a synthetic electronic voice rang out: "Mission ''Rescue ****'' completed, reward one Supernatural Point." Hearing this, Lin Tian looked towards the sky in his Sea of Consciousness and then saw an additional golden Supernatural Point appear. "Another Supernatural Point added, I should have four now!" Lin Tian thought to himself as he glanced at the Supernatural Points floating in the air. "Lin Tian¡­" As Lin Tian focused his attention on the Sea of Consciousness, the curious inquiries of his classmates also reached his ears. Lin Tian didn''t want to elaborate much, just casually responding. An hour later, the gathering dispersed, and when Zhong Jialiang was about to pay the bill, he was told that Lei Jun had already paid it. Hearing this, Zhong Jialiang again confirmed that Lin Tian was not simple and secretly decided to associate more with Lin Tian in the future. While Zhong Jialiang pondered, Lin Tian was currently taking a taxi home with Mengting and Xiaomeng. Sitting in the taxi, Li Xiaomeng still seemed excited, her face flushed as she looked at Lin Tian, her beautiful eyes sparkling, "Brother-in-law, you don''t know how cool you were then! How did it go? Oh, yes..." Pausing, Li Xiaomeng gestured grandly and genuinely said, "''Tell him to get the hell out!'' right?" Upon finishing, Li Xiaomeng looked at Lin Tian with an admiring gaze, her beautiful eyes twinkling, "So cool! They were all shocked! Haha!" "Uh¡­" Lin Tian touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He admitted that he was showing off a bit at the time. He had had some drinks and got carried away. If it were a usual day, Lin Tian would have taken action directly, not letting anyone point a gun at him. "Who was that guy? How do you know him?" These were the curious questions asked by Mengting sitting beside him. Lin Tian clearly knew whom she was asking about, and he immediately replied, "His name is Wu Fei, a friend I met a while ago. I beat him up once, and then he submitted to me." "You dared to hit him? He looked pretty cool today!" Hearing this, Li Xiaomeng looked at Lin Tian in astonishment. She distinctly remembered Wu Fei''s presence when he entered. Hearing Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian raised his eyebrow, a smug look on his face, "Others might not, but who am I? I''m your brother-in-law, there''s nothing I can''t handle! Haha!" "What nonsense are you talking!" Hearing the words ''brother-in-law'', Mengting''s face instantly flushed red, and she pinched Lin Tian''s side hard, her expression shy. Seeing Bu Mengting''s pretty face flushed red and shy, Lin Tian chuckled wickedly and gave her a big kiss, laughing, "I love it when you look like this." "Humph! Embarrassing!" At this sight, Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly and turned her head away. "Uh..." The driver, witnessing this through the rearview mirror, wore a speechless expression. These young people these days... Most importantly, how come these kids have such beautiful girlfriends while I''m nearly thirty and still don''t have one! Unaware of the driver''s thoughts, Lin Tian playfully teased Bu Mengting, making her face turn even redder. Amidst the laughter, twenty minutes later, they stopped the car at Green Light Residential Area. As soon as the car stopped, Li Xiaomeng hopped and skipped towards her house. After running for a bit, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, and shouted at Lin Tian, "Hey, what about the thing you promised me?" "What?" Lin Tian was bewildered. "What do you think?" Li Xiaomeng slowly extended two fingers and shook them. Seeing the two fair fingers stretched out by Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian instantly figured it out. Noticing Lin Tian''s expression, Li Xiaomeng giggled loudly, "Aren''t you going to buy it now? I''m starving!" "Didn''t you just eat..." Lin Tian was taken aback. "All this nonsense, just go already, and remember, buy two hundred packs first!" Li Xiaomeng said somewhat discontentedly, wrinkling her adorable nose. "What are you guys talking about?" Bu Mengting, standing nearby, looked bewildered at the two of them. She couldn''t understand what they were talking about at all. "It''s nothing, sis, let''s go home first!" Fearing Bu Mengting might catch on, Li Xiaomeng grabbed her hand and headed into the residential area. As they walked, Li Xiaomeng yelled back, "Remember, I love the vegetable flavor the most! If you don''t buy it, hmm!" she said, waving her little fist. "Uh..." Lin Tian was momentarily dumbfounded. After a pause, he helplessly shook his head and turned to walk outside. What else could he do? Just buy it. About ten minutes later, Lin Tian appeared again at the entrance of the residential area, carrying two huge bags. He had bought two hundred packs of chips, nearly clearing out the neighborhood store''s stock. Carrying the heavy bags, Lin Tian walked into the residential area. "Woof woof!" After a few steps, suddenly, a joyous bark reached his ears. Lin Tian looked up and immediately saw a black Doberman running towards him at high speed. Seeing the Doberman, Lin Tian paused, then a flicker of happiness crossed his face, "Yangyang, you''re back?" "Woo woo~!" The Doberman quickly came up to Lin Tian, crouched down, and nodded. "Let''s head back home!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. "Woo~!" The Doberman sat still, staring intently at the bags of chips in Lin Tian''s hands. Noticing the Doberman''s gaze, Lin Tian was at a loss for words. A foodie! Yet another foodie! Why do I keep encountering so many foodies! Even the dog is such a glutton! Helpless, Lin Tian stopped, put down the two bags, then pulled out a pack of chips and ripped it open, offering it, "Here, eat." "Woof!" With a loud bark, joy flashed in the Doberman''s eyes, and it swiftly lowered its head and dipped its tongue into the torn open chip bag. "Woo woo~!!" While eating, the Doberman continued whining happily. Lin Tian stood there, helpless, watching it, "Is it really necessary, getting so happy over some chips. Definitely a foodie." The Doberman ate quickly and finished the full bag of chips in mere seconds. After finishing the chips, the Doberman picked up the bag and quickly ran towards the nearby trash can. When it reached the trash can, the Doberman stood up, stretched its paw to open the lid, and then stuck its head over, dropping the bag it held into the can. Seeing this, Lin Tian praised, "Not bad, you know how to throw garbage now!" "Woof!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the Doberman barked proudly, tilting its head back slightly in pride. "Look at you, your tail is about to wag up to the sky!" Lin Tian said, somewhat exasperated, and bent down to pick up the two bags again, "Come on, let''s go home." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Woo woo!" Just then the Doberman ran back to Lin Tian, circling him and whining, its voice full of longing. Hearing the melancholic whining of the Doberman, Lin Tian was taken aback and asked, "What''s the matter?" "Woo woo!" The Doberman kept whining and then barked loudly in a certain direction. "Are you missing that girl Ruoyu?" After a pause, Lin Tian asked. "Woof woof!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the Doberman barked joyfully. "Alright, I''ll take you to see her this afternoon," Lin Tian said with a slight smile. "Woof!" The Doberman seemed very happy, spinning around in place. Chapter 131 Did I Manage to Do It? "Let''s go!" Having dealt with the Doberman, Lin Tian wanted to head home with the bag in hand."Woof!" Little did he know, the Doberman called out to him again. "What do you want now?" Lin Tian looked at it helplessly. "Woof!" After barking once, the Doberman glanced at the bag in Lin Tian''s hand. "You want more?" Helplessly, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks and pulled out another pack. "Woof!" Seeing that Lin Tian was about to open it, the Doberman quickly barked. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Not open it?" Lin Tian looked up in astonishment. "Woof!" The Doberman nodded repeatedly. "Alright then, here you go!" Immediately, Lin Tian handed over a whole pack of chips to it. "Woof!" With that, the Doberman excitedly took the chips and hurried home. Watching the Doberman''s cheerful pace, Lin Tian was speechless. He followed behind carrying two big bags. When Lin Tian arrived at Li Xiaomeng''s front door upstairs carrying two big bags of chips, the Doberman had already gone back to hide the chips and came out again. Seeing it squatting by his side, Lin Tian glanced and didn''t pay attention, then knocked on the door. The door wasn''t knocked for long before it was immediately opened. "Where are the chips?" As soon as the door opened, Li Xiaomeng''s loud voice could be heard. Upon calling out, Li Xiaomeng saw the two big bags of chips on the ground and excitedly shouted, "Wow! So many!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, then said, "Well, Yangyang ate two bags. I''ll replenish them for you next time!" "Yangyang?" Hearing this, Li Xiaomeng was stunned, then turned her gaze behind Lin Tian and instantly saw the Doberman sitting on the ground. Seeing the Doberman, Li Xiaomeng''s beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement and exclaimed, "Is this the clever dog my sister mentioned?" "Woof woof!" The Doberman barked once, then stood up and took a step forward, stretching out a front paw. Seeing this, Lin Tian laughed and said, "It''s greeting you!" "Really?" Li Xiaomeng looked surprised, then reached out her small hand and grasped the Doberman''s outstretched paw, shaking it slightly, and laughed, "Hello there!" "Woof!" The Doberman responded. "Yay, it really understands what I''m saying!" Li Xiaomeng looked up at Lin Tian, her face filled with excitement. "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded, taking it for granted. "Wow! How cute!" Li Xiaomeng excitedly crouched down, extending her small hand slowly to stroke the Doberman''s head. "Woof woof~!" Li Xiaomeng''s action was very gentle, making the Doberman very comfortable, uttering contented woofs. "So adorable!" Li Xiaomeng exclaimed excitedly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. Turning her eyes, Li Xiaomeng stood up, grabbed Lin Tian''s arm, and shook it while coquettishly saying, "Brother-in-law, how about you let Yangyang stay and play with me for a few days?" Lin Tian gave a slight smile and curled his lips, saying, "You''ll have to ask Yangyang about that, but today''s definitely not possible. I need to take him to see his previous owner." Continue your saga on empire "Is it that little girl?" Li Xiaomeng had also heard Bu Mengting talking about the Doberman''s story. "Aren''t you also a little one?" Lin Tian said, giving her a look. "Where am I little! Hmph!" Li Xiaomeng said, puffing out her chest indignantly. "Uh..." After glancing at the small buns puffing out in front of Li Xiaomeng''s chest, Lin Tian said nothing. "I don''t care, I want to play with Yangyang. I''m going with you this afternoon," Li Xiaomeng insisted. "Are you sure your parents will let you go out?" Lin Tian was at a loss for words. "You don''t have to worry about that. I have a way. Also, remember, you promised to listen to me! Hmph!" Li Xiaomeng said, tilting her head and snorting coldly. Hearing this, Lin Tian had a look of helplessness on his face. What more could he say? Since she wanted to go, then let her. It was just taking her along for some fun. Thinking it over, Lin Tian said, "Alright, as long as your parents agree, I have no objections." "Yay!" Li Xiaomeng yelled excitedly. ** After lunch and a little rest, Lin Tian prepared to head out with Li Xiaomeng and the Doberman. Somehow, Li Xiaomeng had managed to convince her parents, who had actually agreed to let her go out. Of course, most of it was probably because she was going with Lin Tian. "Let''s go!" Lin Tian said as he put on his clothes and turned to look at the Doberman. "Woof!" The Doberman barked, then ran off to a corner. Soon, Lin Tian saw the Doberman running back with a bag of unopened potato chips in its mouth. It was indeed that unopened bag of potato chips. Seeing the bag of potato chips in the mouth of the Doberman, Lin Tian was startled and exclaimed, "You''re not eating these chips because you want to give them to Ruoyu?" The Doberman nodded. "Well, that''s nice!" Lin Tian nodded approvingly, admiring the Doberman''s gesture." Seeing the Doberman actually giving its potato chips to its owner, Li Xiaomeng bit her finger hesitantly, pondering whether she should also bring something for the friend she had not yet met. But, she really didn''t want to part with them... "Alright, you little foodie, just keep them for yourself!" Lin Tian said, tapping Li Xiaomeng on the head, a look of incredulity on his face. "Okay, since you insist, I''ll reluctantly agree!" Li Xiaomeng said, finding an excuse for herself and smiling with relief. Hearing this, Lin Tian''s mouth twitched, speechless. With one person and one dog, Lin Tian walked out of the apartment complex, then hailed a taxi outside the complex. Half an hour later, Lin Tian, along with Li Xiaomeng and the Doberman, walked towards Liu Ruoyu''s house. As soon as they entered the apartment complex where Liu Ruoyu lived, the Doberman became very excited and, without waiting for Lin Tian, dashed forward. Chapter 131 Did I Manage to Do It? _2 "Woof woof!" When Lin Tian and Li Xiaomeng arrived downstairs at Liu Ruoyu''s house, they saw the Doberman placing some chips on the ground and barking up at the building."Yangyang?" A moment after they called out, a surprised voice came from the third-floor balcony, and a cute little girl appeared there. "Woof woof!" Seeing the girl, the Doberman barked even more joyfully. "Yangyang, it really is you! Wait for me!" The girl exclaimed excitedly and then turned and quickly ran downstairs. After a short wait, a little girl in a white dress came running over swiftly. "Woof woof!" Seeing the little girl, the Doberman ran over with a joyful face. "Yangyang, I''ve missed you so much!" Liu Ruoyu hugged the Doberman''s neck excitedly. "Woo woo!" The Doberman whined affectionately. After barking for a while, the Doberman wriggled out of Liu Ruoyu''s arms and then turned and ran towards Lin Tian. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Reaching its original spot, the Doberman picked up the chips from the ground and ran happily back to Liu Ruoyu. "Woof!" The Doberman offered the chips it held in its mouth to Liu Ruoyu. "For me?" Liu Ruoyu exclaimed with surprise. "Woof!" The Doberman nodded. "Thank you!" Liu Ruoyu accepted the chips with a delighted face. After chatting with the Doberman for a while, Liu Ruoyu stood up, her face breaking into a sweet smile, and said to Lin Tian, "Hello, big brother." "Ruoyu, have you eaten?" Lin Tian asked with a light smile. "I have." Ever since Lin Tian had brought the Doberman back to his house, he had brought it to visit the little girl several times, so Lin Tian and Liu Ruoyu were quite familiar with each other. "Big brother, can I play with Yangyang a bit longer today?" Liu Ruoyu asked, blinking her big beautiful eyes and looking at Lin Tian expectantly. "Hmm, aren''t your parents around?" Lin Tian mused and then said. "They''re not here, they''ve gone out!" Liu Ruoyu nodded eagerly. "Alright then, you can play for a longer time today, but don''t go too far," Lin Tian paused, thought for a moment, and then suggested, "Let''s play in the park next to your house." "Okay!" Liu Ruoyu''s face lit up with excitement. Looking at Liu Ruoyu and then at Li Xiaomeng beside him, Lin Tian introduced, "This is Li Xiaomeng. She''s twelve years old, a year older than you." After speaking, Lin Tian turned to Li Xiaomeng and said, "Xiaomeng, this is Liu Ruoyu." "Yeah!" Li Xiaomeng nodded, then seriously looked at Liu Ruoyu and said, "I''m older than you, can you call me sister? I''ll share tasty treats with you!" Biting her lip, Liu Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and then lightly nodded. Seeing Liu Ruoyu nod, Li Xiaomeng''s eyes sparkled, she jumped up and exclaimed, "Yay, I have a little sister now!" Seeing the excited Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian was speechless for a moment. These two kids had completely different personalities. Li Xiaomeng was lively and a bit wilful, while Liu Ruoyu seemed very quiet. Shaking his head, Lin Tian patted Li Xiaomeng''s bottom and said, "Enough yelling! Let''s go." To his surprise, Li Xiaomeng suddenly jumped up, clutching her buttocks, and pouted at Lin Tian, "You pinched my butt!" "What butt do you little brat have!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes, called the Doberman, and then walked ahead without paying her any more attention. Seeing Lin Tian walk away, Liu Ruoyu quickly followed, and the Doberman joyfully hopped along behind. Seeing no one was paying attention to her, Li Xiaomeng pouted, rubbed her butt, mumbled something to herself, and then followed them as well. There was a park called Huangshan Park near Liu Ruoyu''s house, only a ten-minute walk from her home. Since it was the weekend, the park was very crowded. As soon as they entered the park, Li Xiaomeng forgot her recent displeasure and quickly started chasing and playing with Liu Ruoyu and the Doberman. Wherever they ran, their laughter echoed like tinkling bells. Half an hour later, the trio arrived in a peach orchard within the park. Looking at all the peach trees around, Li Xiaomeng asked curiously, "What kind of trees are these, there are so many!" "These are peach trees. They bloom in spring and are very beautiful!" Liu Ruoyu said with a smile. After half an hour of frolicking, the two little girls had already become good friends. "Are they really that beautiful?" Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened. "Yes! In spring, this place will be full of peach blossoms as far as the eye can see. It''s really pretty!" Liu Ruoyu said sweetly, smiling. Then she looked down at the Doberman next to her and asked, "Right, Yangyang?" "Woof!" the Doberman replied. "I can''t wait!" Hearing this, Li Xiaomeng''s face was full of anticipation. After dreaming for a while, Li Xiaomeng turned her head, looking expectantly at Lin Tian, "Dear brother-in-law, sister said you can perform magic. Can you make these trees blossom with peach flowers?" "Ah?" Lin Tian was startled. "Please?" Li Xiaomeng clasped Lin Tian''s arm, shaking it as she cooed. "This..." Lin Tian was somewhat flustered. Peach blossoms? That was not impossible, using the Time Powder on the plants. The problem was that it would cost a Supernatural Point. Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant. "Please?" Seeing Lin Tian hesitate, Li Xiaomeng continued to act spoiled, and after a while, seeing that Lin Tian still did not agree, she immediately glared at him with wide eyes, "If you don''t agree, I''ll tell my sister you touched my butt!" "Uh..." Lin Tian was stunned. What was this nonsense! "Peach blossoms bloom in spring, little brat, don''t you even know that?" Just as Lin Tian was about to speak, suddenly, a mocking female voice sounded beside his ear. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian frowned and soon saw a couple sitting under a tree in the shade about four or five meters away. Clearly, the remark had just come from the girl. And this girl was quite unattractive, with a face full of acne. Li Xiaomeng was a sensitive girl, and she could naturally detect the mockery in the person''s words. Immediately, Li Xiaomeng glared with wide eyes and shot back, "If you don''t understand, then don''t talk nonsense, okay?" "I don''t understand? Idiot!" Hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, the girl immediately rolled her eyes, showing disdain. "You, how can you swear at people?" Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened, visibly upset. "Forget it, let''s not talk about it." At this moment, Liu Ruoyu gently pulled on Li Xiaomeng''s hand. "No! I won''t let it go!" Li Xiaomeng said angrily, took a breath, then turned to Lin Tian and shouted, "Can you do it or not? If you can, then do it and slap that woman''s face hard!" "Uh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled. Li Xiaomeng was quite fierce! The words of the girl nearby also annoyed Lin Tian, but what surprised him even more was how fierce Li Xiaomeng''s personality was. "Change what! Little brat!" Hearing Li Xiaomeng challenge her, the girl shot back immediately. Lin Tian squinted his eyes, just about to say something, suddenly, Lin Tian was startled. A synthetic electronic voice sounded in his mind: "Task: Fulfill the wishes of Li Xiaomeng and Liu Ruoyu. Task reward: Two Supernatural Points. Be warned, this is a twin task, failing to complete it will result in the deduction of two Supernatural Points." "Uh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback. A twin task? What was that? Immediately, Lin Tian''s gaze swept over Li Xiaomeng and Liu Ruoyu, instantly seeing the red light flashing on the two girls. Was that the light of the task? Seeing the flashing red light on the two girls, a realization flashed through Lin Tian''s mind. Seeing Lin Tian still in a daze, Li Xiaomeng grew somewhat irritated and shouted, "Say something! Can you do it? If you don''t speak, I won''t talk to you anymore!" Li Xiaomeng glared at Lin Tian, pouting angrily. "Little brat, isn''t it obvious? He obviously can''t do it, okay!" The girl looked at Li Xiaomeng with a mocking face. She was really annoyed that this kid was still being mouthy. Hearing this, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, turned slowly, and looked her up and down, "What if I can do it?" "If you can do it, I''ll eat this tree!" the girl said mockingly, looking at Lin Tian. You can do it? International joke? "Heh, very well!" Lin Tian slowly nodded, his mouth curling up, a mocking smile appearing on his lips. Chapter 132 Peach Blossoms in Bloom Looking half-amused, Lin Tian glanced at the woman, smacking his lips, then ignored her and turned to Li Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, I''ll transform for you to see!""Really?" Li Xiaomeng''s face lit up with surprise! "Of course!" "You''re not deceiving me?" Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened. "What do you think!" Lin Tian said with a smile as he looked at her. "Great! Then transform now!" Li Xiaomeng exclaimed hastily. Hearing their conversation, Liu Ruoyu, who was next door, also widened her eyes, full of curiosity. She too was eager to witness this scene, but she still couldn''t believe that Lin Tian could actually manage it. "No need to rush." Lin Tian smiled and told Li Xiaomeng, "Copy my movements, I''ll let you transform!" "Okay!" Li Xiaomeng said somewhat excitedly. She truly believed in Lin Tian. "Here, reach out your hand!" Lin Tian extended his hand, instructing Li Xiaomeng to emulate him. "Like this?" Li Xiaomeng reached out with her fair, small hand. "Right, then you do like this, swing your hand and shout ''change'' loudly!" Lin Tian explained, demonstrating the motions. "Like this?" Li Xiaomeng mimicked the gesture. "Right!" Lin Tian nodded his head. "Then I''ve got it!" Li Xiaomeng nodded. "Alright then, let''s start!" Lin Tian said with a smile. "It''s just like this?" Li Xiaomeng asked incredulously. She couldn''t believe that merely waving her hand would make the peach trees bloom. She''s not a fairy after all. "Trust me, just follow my lead!" Lin Tian reassured her with a confident smile. Saying this, he quickly exchanged for some Time Powder in his mind. "Alright then, here I go!" Seeing Lin Tian so confident, Li Xiaomeng believed him too, took a deep breath, and stretched out her slightly chubby hand. Then, Li Xiaomeng focused intensely, her hand slowly tracing an arc in the air, then loudly she cried, "Change!" After that, Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened as she looked up at the peach tree above her. Liu Ruoyu looked up as well. It wasn''t just the two of them; the couple there also involuntarily turned their gazes toward the peach tree. Silence! Silence! A moment of silence! No reaction at all! Not the slightest reaction! The peach tree showed no change whatsoever. After a moment, the woman scoffed with disdain, "Idiot!" Drip¡­ Tears started swirling in Li Xiaomeng''s eyes! Crying! Aggrieved! This time, Li Xiaomeng really felt like crying. Noticing the tears in Li Xiaomeng''s eyes, Lin Tian panicked and stopped playing around. With a flick of his hand, he scattered the Time Powder he was holding and then pointed upwards urgently, "Look quickly!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Xiaomeng looked up at the peach tree again. Meanwhile, as Lin Tian had just motioned, a whiff of white powder drifted from the palm of his hand, slowly floating towards the surrounding peach trees and entering them. As the white powder entered the trees, clusters of pink buds emerged from the branches. One by one, the pink buds suddenly burst forth from the branches, then slowly unfolded, eventually revealing petals of peach blossoms like opening umbrellas. Peach blossoms bloomed one after another! One by one! The peach blossoms started blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye above their heads. Stunned! Seeing this, everyone was stunned. The couple looked up dumbfounded at the scene. "Look, those peach trees over there are blooming too!" Suddenly, Liu Ruoyu pointed excitedly at another peach tree. Ever since the tree above them bloomed, the nearby trees followed suit as if contagious, eventually, the entire orchard blossomed into pink peach flowers. Instantly, the entire grove was engulfed in a sea of pink blossoms. Astonished! Shocked! Seeing this, Li Xiaomeng too was dumbfounded, staring blankly as she couldn''t have anticipated such a scene. Really, the peach blossoms had actually bloomed. "This¡­" The couple stared blankly, unable to react for a moment. Really? The peach blossoms had actually bloomed? Impossible, right? Instinctively, the woman plucked a pink peach blossom. It felt delicate to the touch, and lowering her head to smell it, there was even a faint fragrance of peach blossoms. It was real, truly real! Looking at the petal in her hand, the woman was shocked, staring blankly, then she raised her head to look at Lin Tian, her face still in a daze. He had actually made it happen? "Look, all the peach blossoms are in bloom!" The whole peach blossom grove bloomed rapidly and attracted people''s attention. Soon, exclamations of surprise could be heard. Many people rushed over here. At the same time, a synthetic electronic voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission to fulfill Liu Ruoyu and Li Xiaomeng''s wishes is completed, awarding two Superpower Points." As the voice ended, Lin Tian felt instantly that two golden Superpower Points had appeared in his Sea of Consciousness. Having used up one before, and with the newly added one, Lin Tian now had five Superpower Points. "Wow! It''s true, the peach blossoms are really in full bloom! What''s going on?" "Yeah, it''s so strange!" Astonished voices echoed around. Meanwhile, people began to take out their phones to record this amazing scene. Hearing the discussions around her, Li Xiaomeng had recovered from her shock. She then put her hands on her hips and looked triumphantly at that woman, "Weren''t you saying you wanted to eat this tree? Eat it then!" "Forget it, Xiaomeng!" Lin Tian shook his head, stopping Li Xiaomeng''s taunting. Although he wasn''t afraid of this couple, he didn''t want this conflict to attract a crowd of onlookers. Now that no one had connected this strange event with him yet, it was for the best. Lin Tian also didn''t want to be so high-profile. "Why not? Why did you stop me?" Li Xiaomeng felt a bit dissatisfied, thinking Lin Tian was being too soft. "It''s okay, we''ll talk about it later." Fearing that Li Xiaomeng might shout, Lin Tian took her hand and led her away. After walking a distance, Lin Tian let go of Li Xiaomeng''s hand and said, "If a dog bites you, you can''t exactly bite it back!" "It''s not about biting back, I want to break the dog''s teeth!" Li Xiaomeng puffed her cheeks, frustrated. "¡­" Lin Tian was speechless. "Woof woof¡­" Right then, the Doberman started whining, looking displeased at the two of them. "Um¡­" Lin Tian paused, looking at the Doberman, "It''s not about you..." After speaking to the Doberman, Lin Tian turned to Li Xiaomeng with a serious face, "You know how outstanding your brother-in-law is. I attract attention wherever I go. Sigh, can''t help it, I''m just too excellent. I''m afraid of being dissected by people, so I must keep a low profile. You understand..." After saying this, Lin Tian even feigned loneliness with a toss of his head. Seeing Lin Tian''s narcissistic demeanor, Li Xiaomeng was speechless and rolled her eyes. However, because of Lin Tian''s antics, the anger in Li Xiaomeng''s heart also dissolved. Seeing Li Xiaomeng''s reaction, Lin Tian finally heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Finally managed that..." Afterward, the three of them played in the woods for another hour. Seeing it was getting late and afraid that Liu Ruoyu''s parents would notice, the three had no choice but to head back. Lin Tian took Liu Ruoyu home, then returned with Li Xiaomeng and the Doberman. ** The next day, after lunch, Lin Tian got ready early. He checked the time and opened his room door. Today was the day He Qianqian was coming to Wu''an City, and Lin Tian had promised to meet her. He had just opened the door, intending to walk to the stairs, when suddenly, the door across opened. It was Li Xiaomeng! As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Tian, and immediately shouted, "Brother-in-law, where are you going?" "Just out for a stroll!" Lin Tian didn''t stop but quickened his pace downstairs. "Wait for me, I''m coming too!" Li Xiaomeng shouted. "No need, I''m going alone!" Hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, Lin Tian hastened his steps. Seeing Lin Tian''s quickly receding figure, Li Xiaomeng scrunched up her cute little nose, suspicious, "He''s so afraid of me; he must be hiding some unspeakable secrets! Hmph!" Having shaken off Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Now, Li Xiaomeng had somewhat intimidated Lin Tian. "Hurry up and start the new semester, then I won''t have to see her again, she''s too much trouble!" Lin Tian helplessly shook his head, then quickly walked to the exit of the residential area. Upon reaching the outside of the residential area, Lin Tian hailed a taxi and headed toward the train station. When Lin Tian arrived at the train station, it was only two o''clock in the afternoon, and there was still one hour until He Qianqian''s train arrived. However, Lin Tian didn''t mind, it was always good to be early, just in case the train arrived early. He couldn''t let the girl wait for him. Looking up at the time, and seeing it was still early, Lin Tian found a seat, took out his phone, and began reading a novel. With a novel to read, the time didn''t feel too long. Thus, time slowly passed as Lin Tian concentrated on his novel. Soon, three o''clock arrived. Lin Tian looked up and saw that He Qianqian''s train was delayed by fifteen minutes. "Delayed again!" Lin Tian was resigned. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Even though He Qianqian hadn''t arrived yet, Lin Tian didn''t continue reading. Instead, he stood up, put his phone away, and patted his somewhat numb buttocks, preparing to wait. Within the waiting, fifteen minutes passed, and He Qianqian''s train finally arrived at the station. Standing at the exit, Lin Tian scanned the crowd. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over! "Qianqian!" As he made his way through the crowd, Lin Tian shouted. Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, He Qianqian glanced around, and then saw Lin Tian. "Gorgeous, long time no see!" Seeing He Qiongian, Lin Tian chortled and then bent down to pick up her luggage. "A month apart and you''re still as cheeky as ever!" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. Lin Tian chuckled but didn''t say anything. Holding the luggage, Lin Tian and He Qianqian walked out of the train station. On the way, Lin Tian occasionally glanced at He Qianqian. Noticing Lin Tian''s frequent glances, He Qianqian''s face blushed as she glared at him, "What are you looking at!" "At a beauty! I''m wondering how there could be such a beautiful girl in the world!" Lin Tian said exaggeratedly. "There you go again!" Hearing Lin Tian''s remark, He Qianqian was resigned. She shook her head and ignored him. Lin Tian giggled and took He Qianqian''s hand. Soon after, the two walked out of the train station and were about to hail a taxi to the university when suddenly a series of exclamations in front caught their attention. Chapter 133 Magic Different World Hearing the exclamations, Lin Tian looked forward curiously, seeing a crowd gathered with intermittent gasps of surprise coming from within.Feeling curious, He Qianqian tugged at Lin Tian''s hand and said, "Let''s go take a look." With that, she walked over, her face full of curiosity. She wondered what could be attracting such a chorus of astonishment. Helplessly, Lin Tian could only follow. As he squeezed through the crowd and took a look, he was instantly stunned. It was her. Yan Yan! Lin Tian still remembered the girl he had met while he was out on the pedestrian street with Bu Mengting last time. Yan Yan was indeed the magician girl Lin Tian had encountered, and he still remembered helping her turn a seed into a large tree and getting a Supernatural Point from her. Glancing over at Yan Yan, he noticed she was performing magic inside the crowd. "Look here, everyone, do you see the one-yuan coin in my hand?" she said, gripping the coin and slowly moving it in front of the crowd to show them clearly. After everyone saw it clearly, Yan Yan placed the coin from her right hand into her left palm, then looked up at the crowd and announced, "Pay attention, there is just this single coin here." Saying this, Yan Yan''s left palm slowly clenched. After clenching it, she raised it high, shouting to the crowd, "You all saw that I''m holding one coin only in this hand." S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "But is that really the case?" Yan Yan said with a slight smile, lowering her raised hand and slowly opening it. Everyone''s eyes widened in anticipation. Nothing! Empty! Yan Yan''s hand was completely empty! The coin had disappeared! Silent... Seeing this, Lin Tian felt speechless. This girl with her same old tricks... "But that''s not the main event, what comes next is the miracle!" Yan Yan continued her enthusiastic performance as Lin Tian was speechless, slowly closing her left hand that had held the coin. She held her fist tightly for thirty seconds, then suddenly flung it open! Everyone watching had their eyes glued to Yan Yan''s movements. Two coins! Yan Yan''s palm now had two coins inside! But there had only been one just a moment ago! Instantly, the place erupted in exclamations of awe. Watching this, Lin Tian felt even more speechless. Couldn''t she change it up a little? Lin Tian wanted to tell He Qianqian to leave, but he saw that she was watching intently, so he opened his mouth but ended up not saying a word. Let it be, if she wants to watch, we''ll watch. "Next up..." As Yan Yan was about to say something after performing the trick, she suddenly looked in one direction, paused, and then her eyes lit up. Noticing Yan Yan''s gaze, Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat, Oh no! He had been spotted. Lin Tian thought to turn and walk away, but Yan Yan didn''t give him the chance. She quickly stepped up, grabbed Lin Tian''s hand, and shouted to the crowd, "Wasn''t my magic spectacular just now?" "Amazing!" Cheers and applause filled the air. Yan Yan''s skills were indeed good, and it was likely that anyone watching her magic would be excited. Hearing the crowd''s response, Yan Yan''s mouth curled into a smile, and she shouted, "But we have an even more amazing magician here! How about we ask him to perform a trick?" With that said, Yan Yan lifted up Lin Tian''s hand. Lin Tian wore a resigned expression as Yan Yan held up his hand. There was no escaping now. Seeing this, He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian curiously and asked, "Lin Tian, you can do magic too?" "Uh, well, a little bit!" Lin Tian laughed awkwardly and took a step back, whispering to Yan Yan, "What are you trying to do?" "Hmm, do you still remember how you ditched me last time?" "Alright, alright, I''m sorry. Can we talk about this next time?" "Hehe, not bad, huh? Last time it was one girl, and now you''ve switched to another!" Yan Yan said with a mischievous smile. "It''s over..." Just what he was afraid of. This was exactly what Lin Tian had been dreading. With no other choice, Lin Tian compromised, "Alright, what do you want to do?" "If you don''t want me to complain, you''ll have to do as I say, now perform a magic trick for me, okay?" "I don''t have any props." "I do!" "¡­" Lin Tian fell silent; he didn''t know any magic tricks. "What are you two whispering about?" Seeing the two of them talking secretly, He Qianqian looked at them suspiciously. "Nothing." Lin Tian answered casually. Just as he was wondering what to do, Yan Yan dashed to He Qianqian''s side, lavishly praising how amazing Lin Tian''s magic was and suggesting she wanted Lin Tian as her teacher. Hearing these words, Lin Tian was speechless. And after hearing Yan Yan''s words, He Qianqian was perplexed and looked at Lin Tian, "Are you really that amazing, Lin Tian?" Hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian sighed, Sister, I don''t know any magic at all. But before Lin Tian could finish his lament, suddenly, a synthetic electronic voice rang inside his head, "Task: Perform a magic trick that satisfies He Qianqian on the spot. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point." "Huh¡­" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was stunned. A mission now, of all times? Upon hearing the voice of this task, Lin Tian had no choice but to consider the feasibility of performing a magic act. There was no other way, it was for the mission, for the Supernatural Points. While Lin Tian was contemplating, Yan Yan continued to stir up the audience''s excitement: "Everyone, this gentleman is a magician a hundred times more amazing than me, super impressive! Everyone, don''t you want to see his performance?" "Yes!" A chorus of shouts erupted from the crowd. Yan Yan''s performance had already left them in awe, so wouldn''t a more impressive act be even more thrilling? "Well then, let''s welcome him with applause!" Saying so, Yan Yan led the crowd in clapping. "Clap clap!" Instantly, applause filled the venue. Lin Tian glanced around, rapidly scanning his supernatural abilities in his mind to find one that could be of use. After a quick look, Lin Tian''s gaze steadied. Maybe it could work. "Welcome him, everyone, with even warmer applause!" Yan Yan shouted. "Clap clap!" Following Yan Yan''s voice, everyone clapped more vigorously, all eyes turning to Lin Tian. At that moment, Lin Tian had decided on his next performance and stepped into the center of the circle. Seeing Lin Tian enter, the audience fell silent. Scanning the onlookers, Lin Tian spoke: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I can''t just not perform. Alright, I will do one act." Having said that, Lin Tian shifted his gaze and asked the people: "Who has an extra set of clothes? Lend me one." "I do!" A girl immediately raised her hand. Lin Tian''s gaze swept over and saw a young girl, who looked like a white-collar worker. She was wearing a white blazer. "Alright, I''ll just borrow this lady''s jacket for a moment." Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, the girl swiftly took off her blazer and handed it to Lin Tian. Lin Tian took the jacket, and immediately a scent wafted to him; the blazer still carried a hint of the girl''s fragrance. Taking a deep breath and shaking his head, Lin Tian knew it wasn''t the time to think about these things and said while holding the blazer: "I''m going to roll this jacket into something resembling a cylinder." As he spoke, Lin Tian rolled the white blazer into a cylinder. The cylinder was very short, about the length of half an arm, and it was narrow, just wide enough to fit an arm through. After rolling the blazer, Lin Tian looked at the audience and said, "This magic is called ''Another World''." "What does that mean?" As he spoke, Lin Tian raised the cylinder-shaped blazer and said, "It means that when my hand passes through this hole, my hand is no longer in this world, but has gone to another." "Look¡­" he gestured, "The hole is very small and short; my hand can''t hide anywhere. And in a moment, when my hand passes through, it won''t come out from the other end, but will instead disappear!" Hearing Lin Tian''s explanation, everyone was stunned. After a pause, a buzz of skepticism filled the venue. "Really? How is that possible?" "That can''t be!" "No one can be that amazing!" A wave of doubtful voices rose from the audience; to them, it seemed entirely impossible. Yan Yan also widened her eyes in curiosity; she could not figure out how Lin Tian could achieve this. Hearing the audience''s voices, Lin Tian smiled faintly: "It seems many people don''t believe it. Well, let the truth be decided by our hands." With that, Lin Tian picked up the rolled-up blazer, looked at the audience, and announced: "I''m starting now!" At Lin Tian''s words, the crowd fell silent again, their eyes wide as they watched him. Under everyone''s gaze, Lin Tian''s hand slowly entered the hole, his palm first, then his arm, until his entire arm was inside, up to the armpit! Witnessing this scene, the people''s eyes bulged in disbelief! Passing through, Lin Tian''s entire arm went through, but there was no sign of his hand emerging from the other end of the rolled-up hole! How could that be! It was magical! Keep in mind the hole was small, and the rolled-up jacket was only as long as half a sleeve; there was nowhere to hide! But now Lin Tian had his entire arm extended inside, and yet there was no hand coming out from the other side! It was magical! How did he do it? Was it really another world? Seeing the expressions on the audience''s faces, Lin Tian smiled slightly. Then he slowly extended his hand back out. When Lin Tian completely withdrew his hand, he gave the blazer a flick. After a moment of silence, applause broke out from the crowd! Amazement! Around the hall, exclamations of astonishment resounded. And He Qianqian was also visibly shocked! Wait! But Lin Tian waited a moment and realized there was still no prompt indicating the completion of the task. This puzzled Lin Tian. Wasn''t that enough? After waiting a bit longer, it became clear that this magic trick alone really wouldn''t suffice. Clenching his teeth, Lin Tian decided he had no choice but to use another magic trick! Thinking this, Lin Tian instantly summoned the superpower menu again. ............................................. Chapter 134 The Taste is Not Ordinary After performing the magic trick of passing an arm through a hoop without any indication the task was complete, Lin Tian had no choice but to resort to his backup plan.With this thought, Lin Tian''s consciousness dove into his Sea of Consciousness and quickly summoned the superpower menu. His gaze swept across, and he fixated on a particular ability: "Level 1 Anti-Gravity: Can make an object weighing up to four hundred jin float up twenty centimeters. Requires one Supernatural Point to exchange!" After a glance at this superpower, Lin Tian immediately chose to exchange for it. In his view, this ability wasn''t very useful. But now, it was perfect for performing a magic trick. Once he had exchanged the superpower, Lin Tian quickly regained his senses and, with a smile, looked at the audience, "Was that magic trick spectacular or what?" "Spectacular!" A round of applause erupted from the crowd. "Do another one!" Suddenly, another round of cheers sounded from the crowd. "Yes, do another one!" The atmosphere was incredibly lively. Hearing the crowd''s shouts, Lin Tian smiled slightly and pressed his hand down to quiet them. Once everyone had calmed down, Lin Tian looked at the audience and said with a smile, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, I will perform another trick!" At this point, Lin Tian paused briefly in his speech, his eyes sweeping over the faces of the crowd before he continued with a smile, "Many of you may have seen those magicians'' levitation performances on TV or computers, and now, today, I will perform it live for you!" The crowd, upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, was taken aback and then appeared eager. Levitation, that is, a person flying up! It was a dream for many, and now they were about to witness such a magic trick live¡ªall were highly anticipative. Yan Yan, standing beside him, was stunned upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. Levitation magic? No way? How could that be possible? This wasn''t just any small trick¡ªLin Tian had made no prior preparations. How could he possibly achieve it? Yan Yan''s face was a picture of shock. Lin Tian''s gaze swept lightly across the audience, pausing momentarily on He Qianqian''s face and noticing her keen interest in the trick. Seeing He Qianqian''s reaction, Lin Tian felt mostly relieved. This magic should be enough to complete the task, right? If not, there was nothing more he could do. With these thoughts, Lin Tian then looked at the crowd and shouted, "Alright, who wants to come up and experience the sensation of floating? I need two volunteers." "Me! Me!" Everyone was eager, with many hands shooting up. Lin Tian scanned the crowd and his gaze settled on the female white-collar who had helped him with his coat; he looked at her and smiled, "This lady helped me just now. Please come on over!" The girl ran over excitedly after hearing Lin Tian''s words. "And you!" Lin Tian then pointed at a randomly selected middle-aged man. "Come on, stand in front of me! Backs towards me!" Lin Tian instructed as he looked at the two of them. Responding to Lin Tian''s instruction, both people obediently stood side by side with their backs towards him. Seeing that the two were ready, Lin Tian raised his head to address the onlooking crowd, "Alright, I''m going to start now." After speaking, he then told the two volunteers, "Both of you, close your eyes and enjoy the experience!" With Lin Tian''s words, the two obediently closed their eyes. Seeing that the volunteers were ready, Lin Tian placed a finger to his lips, signaling the crowd for silence. Seeing Lin Tian gesture for quiet, the spectators hushed; all eyes were on Lin Tian. Once the surrounding people settled down, Lin Tian took a deep breath and became very serious. After waiting a few seconds, he slowly extended both palms, open with the palms facing up. Lin Tian''s hands slowly rose, his movements delicate as if he was lifting something tangible. Bulging eyes! Everyone''s eyes bulged as they watched Lin Tian. Whoosh, whoosh! Lin Tian''s hands slowly, ever so slowly rose, his movement unhurried. All eyes were still bulging, darting back and forth between Lin Tian and the two people in front of him. Both Yan Yan and He Qianqian also widened their eyes. All of a sudden¡ª Someone''s eyes bulged with incredulity! "Look!" Unable to restrain themselves, someone in the crowd shouted out, pointing at the feet of the two people in front of Lin Tian. All eyes turned toward the feet of the two volunteers in front of Lin Tian. Then everyone''s eyes bulged, faces filled with disbelief! Floating! The two people slowly levitated, their feet gradually leaving the ground! Higher and higher! Higher and higher! Finally, both volunteers'' feet were completely off the ground, their entire bodies floating about twenty centimeters in the air. Stunned! Everyone was stunned by the sight. He Qianqian also opened her mouth wide, covering her mouth in disbelief! Incredible, absolutely magical. "They''ve risen! They''re really floating!" After a brief shock, a wave of amazed exclamations rose from the crowd. Instantly, the scene erupted into noise, filled with a buzz of conversation and sounds of admiration. The surrounding chatter prompted the two volunteers with closed eyes to instinctively open their eyes and immediately looked down towards their feet. They too were stunned¡ªfloating! I actually started to float. My body was floating in the air. It was then that a synthesized electronic voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission completed, He Qianqian is satisfied with the magic performed. Reward: one Supernatural Point." The moment the synthesized voice echoed in his mind, Lin Tian''s thoughts moved, and he instantly stopped using his superpower. Thud! With Lin Tian''s motion, the two floating people instantly fell to the ground. "Thank you!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile, giving a bow and leading a somewhat astonished He Qianqian through the crowd and away. Seeing Lin Tian leave, Yan Yan was startled and then quickly gathered her things to follow him. Lin Tian, dragging his luggage, couldn''t walk very fast, and before long, Yan Yan had caught up to him. The moment she caught up, Yan Yan''s eyes widened as she looked at Lin Tian, "How did you do that?" Lin Tian stopped walking and looked at her helplessly, "Miss, I''m busy right now, can we talk another day?" "If you promise to teach me magic, I''ll agree!" Lin Tian pouted. If it weren''t for her having something on him, he wouldn''t bother with her, but now he had no choice and had to satisfy her request. Thinking this, Lin Tian helplessly nodded, "Alright, no problem, but I don''t have time right now." "Then give me your phone number!" Afraid Lin Tian would run off like last time, Yan Yan spoke up. "Here you go, 131..." As soon as Lin Tian recited the number, Yan Yan dialed it immediately, and sure enough, Lin Tian''s phone rang. Seeing Lin Tian''s phone ring, Yan Yan finally nodded satisfied. "Okay, we''ll chat another day, I have things to do." Saying this, Lin Tian took He Qianqian''s hand and walked forward. Watching the retreating figures of Lin Tian and He Qianqian, Yan Yan held her phone and smirked triumphantly, "Let''s see where you can run this time! Kid, you even dare to play two-timing, now you''ll obediently listen to mamma!" Still being lead away by Lin Tian, it took He Qianqian a good while to snap back to reality, she was still somewhat immersed in the magic Lin Tian had just performed. Turning her head, she looked at Lin Tian with some astonishment, "Lin Tian, was that all real just now?" "What was real?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled. "The magic, did those people really float up?" He Qianqian still couldn''t quite believe it. "Of course, it was real!" Lin Tian naturally nodded his head. "How come I never knew you could do magic before?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, puzzled. "Who am I, huh!" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and proudly tilted his head, "I''m your husband! There''s nothing I can''t do!" "You''d die if you didn''t brag for a day, wouldn''t you!" Lin Tian''s words left He Qianqian speechless, and she rolled her eyes. Afterward, they took a cab to school. Arriving at school, and at He Qianqian''s dorm, Lin Tian helped tidy up a bit. Then, they went out for dinner together. After dinner, they went to a hotel and got a room. With her head resting on Lin Tian''s chest, He Qianqian used her jade finger to draw circles gently on his chest. After playing around for a while and thinking of something, He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian, "Can you really make people float?" "Of course!" Lin Tian looked down at her, puzzled by her sudden question. "Then, can we..." He Qianqian suddenly became shy, lowering her head slightly, not daring to meet Lin Tian''s eyes, she whispered, "Can we do it in mid-air...?" "Do what in mid-air?" Lin Tian was confused. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You know!" He Qianqian''s expression was shy. "Which one?" Lin Tian was taken aback. "Just that!" He Qianqian''s shyness mixed with a hint of irritation. Idiot! "..." After a pause, Lin Tian finally realized what she meant and laughed, "Sure, why not!" Woosh! He Qianqian''s body suddenly began to float, followed closely by Lin Tian''s body rising into the air! "Ahh..." It was then that Lin Tian discovered this other use for levitation. ** Neither of them wanted to speak. Lin Tian lay quietly on the bed. Suddenly, a synthesized electronic voice rang out in his mind. "Ding-dong! System update! The update will take ten minutes. The superpower menu will not be available during the update time!" The sudden voice startled Lin Tian. What? An update? Why is the system updating now? Lin Tian was puzzled. After thinking for a long while, Lin Tian couldn''t figure it out. Fortunately, the system update wasn''t going to take long. After some anxious waiting, after ten minutes, the familiar voice arrived, "Ding! System update completed, the super mission program is now open." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian quickly closed his eyes and began to understand this newly opened function. As Lin Tian''s consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, he instantly understood the new feature, "Super Mission: This mission is a series of super tasks. There are ten mini-tasks in total. For each completed mini-task, the system will reward one Supernatural Point. If not completed, two Supernatural Points will be deducted. If all ten tasks are completed, at the moment the tenth task is finished, an additional reward of ten Supernatural Points will be granted." "Super Missions will initiate randomly." Chapter 135 What Do You Want Now? "A super task?" Lin Tian was taken aback upon hearing this.How did this come about? Moreover, whether the super task was good or bad was unclear. However, from the looks of it, completing it meant a huge reward, but failing would bring misfortune. Lin Tian clearly saw that failing to complete it would deduct two Superpower Points. "Those minor tasks shouldn''t be too difficult!" Lin Tian muttered to himself. Up to now, he had never left any task incomplete. "What are you thinking about?" Lin Tian was daydreaming when he heard He Qianqian''s gentle voice next to his ear. Upon hearing He Qianqian''s voice, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, returned to his senses, looked up, and immediately saw her slightly blushed face. At that moment, He Qianqian''s face still carried a high flush of post-exertion breathlessness and redness, making her look even more shy and charming. Seeing He Qianqian like this, Lin Tian felt a strong impulse, chuckled, and pounced towards her, exclaiming, "I''m thinking about why you are so beautiful!" "Ah, no!" He Qianqian screamed. ** When the two emerged from the hotel, it was already nine at night. Because of the intense activity they had engaged in at the hotel, both were quite drained. Afterwards, they stopped by a night food stall for some snacks. While eating stir-fried river snails, He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian and asked, "Why are your grades so good, and why don''t you apply to a better school?" Lin Tian took a noisy slurp of a river snail, then grabbed another, eating as he spoke, "Do you want to hear a lie or the truth?" "The truth!" "The truth is, I can''t bear to leave you; I want to be in the same city as you!" "Oh, come on!" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. Taking a moment, she lifted her head again and asked, "And the lie?" "The lie?" Lin Tian paused, looking up with a cheeky grin, "The lie is that I''m afraid you''ll run off; I need to keep an eye on you!" "What nonsense! Really!" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian again, then she used a toothpick to pick at the meat of the river snail in her hand. After a moment of silence and some hesitation, He Qianqian looked up seriously at Lin Tian and spoke, "Lin Tian, do you think we''re suitable for each other?" "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian lifted his head in surprise. Feeling that the atmosphere was off, Lin Tian also put down his food. "Look, I''m 26 this year, and you''re only 19; we have a seven-year age gap. I..." "Okay, stop talking!" Lin Tian''s face darkened, he waved his hand, and his expression grew ugly. But He Qianqian did not stop, she continued seriously, "I''m serious, I hope you''re not impulsive. We''re impossible. I''m grateful for the warmth you''ve given me during this time, and I like it, but I hope you''re not impulsive. We... we''re really not suitable." As she spoke, He Qianqian''s tone revealed a hint of sadness. "I''m not impulsive! I''m serious!" At this point, Lin Tian became quite agitated, and his voice slightly raised. Subsequently, a few people at the neighboring table looked over. Seeing others glancing their way, He Qianqian frowned and said, "Keep your voice down. What are you trying to do?" Lin Tian took a deep breath, subdued his voice, staring seriously at He Qianqian, "I''m truly serious. I know what I like, I love you! It''s that simple!" "Love?" He Qianqian shook her head, "How old are you? Do you know what love is? Really, we''re not suitable!" "Don''t talk to me about this!" Lin Tian''s tone was tinged with anger, and he started to get agitated again. "Okay, let''s not talk about that, let''s talk about age. I''m 26 this year; you''re only 19. A seven-year gap, think about it. When you''re 20, I''ll be 30. When you''re 30, I''ll be forty. I... I can''t handle that!" He Qianqian shook her head in distress. "Age isn''t an issue!" Lin Tian said, his lips somewhat dry. "Age is an issue; for me, it''s a big issue!" He Qianqian frowned deeply, seeming irritable as she combed her fingers through her hair, hands propped against her forehead. Watching He Qianqian silently, Lin Tian took a deep breath and quietly asked, "So what do you want?" "What do I want?" He Qianqian lifted her head, her eyes filled with sorrow as she looked at Lin Tian, "I think we should break up; we... we''re not suitable!" As she spoke these last few words, He Qianqian''s expression seemed pained. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Fine!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and nodded slowly. Then he looked up and shouted, "Boss, the bill!" Shouting out, Lin Tian didn''t wait for the boss to come over. He threw two hundred on the table, grabbed He Qianqian''s hand, and hurried outside. "What are you doing!" Lin Tian moved very quickly, and He Qianqian tried to pull her hand free, but she couldn''t. The place where they had their night snacks was right near the Wu River. After exiting the food stall, Lin Tian, with a cold face, quickly led He Qianqian by the hand to the riverside. "What the hell are you doing!" He Qianqian said, annoyed. Lin Tian released He Qianqian''s hand, looking at her seriously, "If you talk about breaking up again, I''ll jump down!" He pointed to the Wu River below. The two stood by the river, Lin Tian stood on the bank at least four to five meters above the riverbed, and below it was pitch-black. No one could be found if he jumped. "What are you doing! Why are you like this!" He Qianqian frowned at Lin Tian. "Are we breaking up or not!" Lin Tian said coldly. "You..." He Qianqian opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, then with an air of helplessness, shook her head, "Okay, okay, we won''t break up, alright?" "That''s more like it!" The stern smile on Lin Tian''s face disappeared in an instant. Then he quickly stepped forward, grabbed He Qianqian''s face, and kissed her fiercely! A passionate, wild kiss! The kiss lasted for a full minute before Lin Tian let go! "Huff, huff!" As soon as he released her, He Qianqian began panting heavily. Catching her breath, He Qianqian glared at Lin Tian and said, "What was that for?" "That was your punishment!" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "I really can''t with you! I have no idea why I''m with you!" He Qianqian said helplessly. "Naturally, it''s because I''m excellent, and you can''t help being attracted to me!" Lin Tian chuckled and caressed He Qianqian''s waist. Leaning on Lin Tian''s shoulder, He Qianqian whispered, "Can you not do that again, please? You have no idea how worried I was just now!" "If you don''t mention breaking up, I won''t!" Lin Tian slowly stroked He Qianqian''s smooth hair, calmingly replied. As for jumping into the river just now, Lin Tian didn''t know either. But he knew that a woman who didn''t like him wouldn''t bother if he jumped or not, and would rather he died. And He Qianqian... clearly liked him. The two embraced quietly by the river for a while, then He Qianqian looked up and said, "It''s getting late, let''s go back." "Hmm, alright!" Lin Tian nodded. Then, the two of them took a taxi back to the school. At the school entrance, He Qianqian told the driver to stop and then looked at Lin Tian, "You can drop me off here, it''s already late." After a moment''s hesitation, Lin Tian nodded. He also knew what He Qianqian was worried about. At this time, some teachers were already at the school, and it wouldn''t look good for him to be dropping He Qianqian off so late. Better to avoid idle gossip. "Alright then, we''ll keep in touch by phone." Lin Tian agreed, then opened the car door. Watching He Qianqian walk into the school until she was out of sight, Lin Tian finally turned his gaze away. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian turned and slowly walked towards the road. Along the way, Lin Tian was rather silent. What He Qianqian said today had taken Lin Tian by surprise. But, but he had to admit, He Qianqian''s concerns were reasonable. It was logical for her to react this way. However, Lin Tian was not resigned. Thinking of He Qianqian leaving him, thinking of He Qianqian becoming a stranger, Lin Tian felt a blockage in his heart. Fearful! He was somewhat fearful of this scenario! "Huff!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian shook his head and decided not to think about these things anymore before hailing a taxi to go back. All the way, Lin Tian''s mood was not very high. On the way back, he continued to think about the matter. Arriving at the residential complex, Lin Tian walked downstairs with his head down, still thinking about He Qianqian''s words. "Ya!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from ahead! Startled, Lin Tian jumped and quickly raised his head. "Haha, scared you, didn''t I?" Seeing Lin Tian''s reaction, Li Xiaomeng looked at him proudly. Speechless, Lin Tian rolled his eyes, "Why aren''t you asleep, running out here to scare people?" "Hmph! I was waiting here on purpose. Tell me, coming back so late, were you messing around with a girl?" Li Xiaomeng said as she quickly walked towards Lin Tian. "What are you doing!" Lin Tian yelped, stepping back in astonishment as he looked at her. Approaching Lin Tian, Li Xiaomeng sniffed and then frowned, raising her head to shout, "Ah, there''s a woman''s scent! Spill it, where have you been!" "Really?" Lin Tian sniffed his own clothes oddly, then looked at Li Xiaomeng, "You have a dog''s nose? What smell?" "There is! Spill it, you were messing around with that woman, weren''t you? If you don''t tell me, I''m telling sister!" Li Xiaomeng stood with hands on hips, threateningly. Lin Tian looked at her helplessly, "Alright, what do you want this time!" "This, oh!" Li Xiaomeng grinned and stretched out two clean fingers. "Chips? Two thousand packs, right? Alright, no problem!" Lin Tian immediately nodded. "You agreed so quickly? Did I say too little? Next time say four thousand?" Li Xiaomeng bit her finger, looking doubtful. Speechless, Lin Tian pushed her, urging, "Alright, alright, let''s go back, it''s very late." After seeing off Li Xiaomeng, the troublemaker, Lin Tian rubbed his head, feeling somewhat headache, "One problem not solved, and another comes along. Is this what they call the troubles of happiness? Depressing!" Ever since He Qianqian mentioned breaking up that time, Lin Tian had been seeing her more frequently. But then, He Qianqian didn''t bring up breaking up again, which somewhat relieved Lin Tian. As days passed by, soon it was August 31. Tomorrow would be the day for school registration. Chapter 136 Are You Sure You Want to Fight Me? September 1st, a common school start date, and Wu''an University was no exception. Early that morning, Lin Tian got up to pack his belongings."Lin Tian, are you ready?" While Lin Tian was still organizing his clothes at home, Bu Mengting''s voice came from outside. "Yes, almost ready!" Lin Tian replied before lowering his head to continue arranging his clothes. "Don''t forget to pack your shoes!" Shi Qing, watching Lin Tian busy himself, reminded from the side. Today was Lin Tian''s university opening day, and Shi Qing didn''t go to work, having taken the day off expressly to accompany Lin Tian to the school. "Got it." Lin Tian responded, checked over everything, felt there was nothing left to bring, then zipped up the suitcase and lifted it. Holding the suitcase, Lin Tian looked at Shi Qing with an expression of resignation: "Mom, I told you there''s no need for you to send me off. It''s such a hassle, and I''m not going that far away!" "Less talking, get a move on!" Shi Qing tapped Lin Tian''s head. Shaking his head, Lin Tian pulled his suitcase and opened the room door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Bu Mengting standing at the entrance with a red suitcase. At that moment, her uncle was also by her side. "Mr. Li, I''m sorry for the trouble!" Seeing Bu Mengting''s uncle, Shi Qing expressed her thanks. "It''s no bother. It''s on the way, and besides, the two kids get along so well!" Li Ming said with a slight smile. "Let''s go!" Bu Mengting said. The foursome then headed downstairs. Wu''an University is situated in the suburbs of Wu''an City. This time, Bu Mengting''s uncle, Li Ming, drove them to the school. Two hours later, the car pulled into the entrance of Wu''an University. As the car entered the campus, Lin Tian looked out the window with eyes full of curiosity. The university was a place Lin Tian had long dreamed about. "Wow, look, such beautiful lotus flowers! So pretty!" Bu Mengting, seated in the front, suddenly exclaimed excitedly, pointing to the left. Hearing this, Lin Tian looked to the left and immediately saw a long stretch of flowers. There was a small river beside the left sidewalk, filled with lotus flowers. Summer was the season when lotus flowers bloomed in abundance; the delicate pink blossoms covered the entire small river, resembling a floral belt from a distance. Willow trees were planted along the riverbank, their slender branches draping down elegantly. Under the willows, there was a green lawn sprinkled with white wildflowers. "Not a bad environment!" Lin Tian nodded in appreciation. "Yeah!" Bu Mengting nodded repeatedly, her face full of anticipation as she gazed at the campus outside: "This school is so big!" "Of course, universities are supposed to be big. If it weren''t for the expansive area, it wouldn''t be located in the suburbs!" Li Ming said with a laugh as he drove the car slowly. Unsure of where the registration was, Li Ming stopped the car to ask a passing student. "The registration is at the gymnasium, let''s go there," Li Ming said once he got back in the car. Then they registered, collected materials, and were assigned to dormitories. Since they weren''t in the same dormitory, Lin Tian had to part ways with Bu Mengting. When Lin Tian arrived at his assigned dormitory, the room was still empty; apparently, his three roommates were not there yet. After arranging his things and making his bed, Lin Tian and Shi Qing went out to meet up with Bu Mengting and the others. Afterward, the four ate lunch together. Having finished lunch, Li Ming and Shi Qing gave some instructions and left first. After all, they both had other matters to attend to, and the place wasn''t far from the city. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After seeing the adults off, Lin Tian turned to Bu Mengting: "Do you want to hang out?" "Maybe next time. I''ve made plans to play with my roommates this afternoon!" Bu Mengting shook her head. "What a letdown, I haven''t even caught a glimpse of my roommates yet!" Lin Tian said, feeling speechless. "They must be here by now," Bu Mengting said with a giggly smile. "Alright then! You have new friends, and you''re already forgetting about your man!" Lin Tian said with a resigned look towards Bu Mengting. "What! My man!" Bu Mengting said, her face blushing as she playfully punched Lin Tian. "There you go, you''re even getting shy!" Lin Tian laughed heartily. ... After fooling around with Bu Mengting for a while, Lin Tian walked her back to her dormitory. Having dropped Bu Mengting off at her dorm, Lin Tian wandered around on his own for a bit, feeling somewhat bored before deciding to head back to his dormitory. Approaching his dorm door, Lin Tian was surprised to find it open, and from inside came the sound of laughter and chatter. After a moment of hesitation, Lin Tian walked in. The moment Lin Tian entered, the room fell quiet as all eyes turned towards him. After a brief pause, a chubby guy looked at Lin Tian and chuckled: "And you are?" "I''m also from this dorm, I''m on bed number four!" Lin Tian pointed to his bed. "Oh! Speak of the devil, we were just wondering where our last brother had gone!" The chubby guy laughed heartily, and his laughter was very contagious, making him seem like a jovial Buddha. "Really?" Lin Tian asked, taken aback. "Yeah, we were just talking about you!" said another person as he walked over. This guy was wearing a full Armani suit and when he stood up Lin Tian realized how tall he was - almost 1.9 meters. "I''m Feng Jiabao, what''s your name?" Feng Jiabao said cheerfully, patting Lin Tian on the shoulder. "I''m Lin Tian," Lin Tian introduced himself to the three guys. "I''m Guo Rong," the chubby guy said with a wide grin. "And I''m Lin Tao," the last person to speak was a guy with thick glasses, seeming somewhat introverted. "Where were you just now? We didn''t see you around," Feng Jiabao asked Lin Tian, still chuckling. "Just went out for a wander," Lin Tian replied offhandedly. After that, the four of them started chatting in the dorm. All being young, they found common ground quickly and hit it off right away. Chapter 136 Are You Sure You Want to Fight Me?_2 Through interaction, Lin Tian found that the chubby Guo Rong was a very easygoing person, especially when he laughed, he had a really infectious sense of humor. Feng Jiabao seemed a bit carefree and always had a mischievous smile on his face.At first, Lin Tian didn''t have a very good impression of Feng Jiabao, but after getting to know him, he saw that he wasn''t a bad guy, just a bit unrestrained. As for Lin Tao... Anyway, after chatting for so long, Lin Tian hardly ever heard Lin Tao say much, and he always seemed to be daydreaming most of the time, as if lost in his own thoughts. A very introverted person. Time flew by as everyone chatted, and before they knew it, it was half-past four. "Dinner time! Dinner time!" At this moment, some students carrying lunch boxes were knocking on them as they walked down the corridor toward the stairs. "Want to grab some food? I''m a bit hungry!" Guo Rong looked at everyone. "Uh, sure, let''s go!" Hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian said. In fact, he wasn''t very hungry. "Let''s go eat then, come on, let''s hit a restaurant!" Feng Jiabao laughed heartily. "To a restaurant, is that necessary? I''m broke!" Hearing this, Guo Rong hesitated. "Fatty, what are you afraid of? I''m treating, I''ve got plenty of money!" Feng Jiabao slapped Guo Rong''s shoulder with a look of generosity. "If you''re treating, then I have no objections!" Guo Rong shrugged. Experience new stories with empire "Then let''s go!" After that, the four of them headed to the school''s restaurant. An hour later, Guo Rong leaned back in his chair, a look of bliss on his face as he happily rubbed his round belly: "So satisfying! If only I could eat like this every day!" "Fatty, that''s all it takes to make you happy? If you want, I can treat you every day!" Feng Jiabao said with a laugh, patting the chubby guy''s shoulder. "Really?" Guo Rong looked at him with a face full of surprise. "Of course!" Feng Jiabao nodded nonchalantly. "Well, tempting as it is, I''ll pass..." After a moment''s hesitation, Guo Rong spoke up. "No worries, it''s settled then!" Feng Jiabao waved his hand, unconcerned. Looking at the two of them, Lin Tian shook his head speechlessly. Feng Jiabao was obviously a rich second generation, the kind that really had money to burn. As for Guo Rong... Every time he saw Guo Rong, Lin Tian was reminded of Bu Mengting and Li Xiaomeng; like the two girls, Guo Rong was also a foodie. As for Lin Tao... Glancing at Lin Tao, Lin Tian shook his head speechlessly again, there he was daydreaming again. Since they finished eating, Lin Tian noticed that Lin Tao had started daydreaming again, with no clue what he was thinking about. "All oddballs..." Lin Tian found that each of his three roommates seemed to have their own quirks. "Hey... A beauty!" Just as Lin Tian was lost in thought, suddenly, he heard Feng Jiabao''s surprised exclamation at his side. "Where, where?" Hearing ''beauty,'' Guo Rong''s eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly looked in the direction Feng Jiabao was pointing. Lin Tian also looked over curiously. He was taken aback at first sight. A beauty indeed! A girl was suddenly walking towards them, about 5 feet 7 in height, with long hair, fair skin, and a delicate oval face; she was truly a top-notch beauty. This beauty was almost on par with Bu Mengting! "99 points!" Staring at the girl, Feng Jiabao suddenly blurted out. "A hundred points would be better, look at that chest, so beautiful!" Guo Rong almost drooled as he stared at the girl. "..." Lin Tian looked at the two of them speechlessly. "Brother, watch me, I''m going to get that girl''s number and play the hero!" Feng Jiabao patted Guo Rong''s shoulder with confidence, then started to straighten his clothes. But just as he stood up, Feng Jiabao was immediately stunned. At that moment, a boy about 5 feet 11 approached the girl with a huge bouquet of roses and was saying something to her. "Uh..." Seeing this scene, Feng Jiabao was taken aback, had someone beaten him to the punch? What happened next, however, left everyone dumbfounded again. When the boy held out the roses to the girl, she didn''t look pleased and turned her head away. Then they talked for a bit, and she clearly rejected him. Despite being turned down, the boy still didn''t leave, persistently hanging on. Seeing this, Feng Jiabao laughed out loud, patted Guo Rong on the shoulder, and said: "Buddy, here comes my chance, watch this brother''s heroic rescue!" sea??h th§× N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As he was about to step forward, he was stopped by a classmate at the adjacent table. "Classmate, you''re a new student, right?" the person asked, looking at Feng Jiabao. "Yeah, what''s up?" Feng Jiabao responded, puzzled. "I advise you, it''s better not to go over there!" "Why''s that?" "Do you know who that guy is?" "Who?" "Wang Chao! Give it some time, and you''ll realize." Saying this, the person went on to explain, "Everyone in the school knows Wang Chao is pursuing Shen Mengyi. Before, there were people who wanted to play the hero and rescue the damsel in distress like you, and the result..." "What happened?" Feng Jiabao asked curiously. "Well, heh, Wang Chao alone sent five guys to the hospital! You get what I''m saying!" "Holy shit! That tough?" Feng Jiabao exclaimed. "Wang Chao is from the Physical Education college, and he practices Sanda, you know!" "Uh..." Feng Jiabao was taken aback, then sat down somewhat sheepishly, smiling awkwardly, "Let''s, let''s just keep eating." Although Feng Jiabao had some money and liked to show off from time to time, he definitely wouldn''t go looking for a beating. Who would go after such a fierce guy; it''s practically a death wish! "What a pity to miss such a good opportunity!" Feng Jiabao lamented. "Yeah, that girl is so pretty, what''s her name... Shen Mengyi, right? Such a pleasant name. I''ve decided, from now on she''s my goddess!" Guo Rong said, his gaze lingered on Shen Mengyi with a lecherous look. Lin Tian curled his lips, speechless. He realized these two guys seemed even more shameless than himself. Glancing at the girl, Lin Tian saw that she indeed was very pretty. But what did that have to do with him? He hadn''t even sorted things out with two girls yet! "I said, I don''t want to date anyone!" Suddenly, a voice filled with anger rang out. Hearing this voice, everyone around went quiet. They all turned to stare blankly at Shen Mengyi. Unable to drive away Wang Chao, Shen Mengyi''s temper flared, and she yelled out loud. Shen Mengyi, looking a bit huffy, turned her head away with an impatient look. "Really, can''t even drive him away!" Shen Mengyi thought irritably inside. Right then, she wished someone would help her. Just as she had this thought, Lin Tian, who was sitting not far away, startled. A synthesized electronic voice echoed in his mind: "Mission: Drive away Wang Chao. Mission reward: one Supernatural Point." A mission, a mission had actually appeared. Well, he didn''t want to cause trouble, but this time he had no choice. Of course, Lin Tian could choose not to act, but then he would miss a Supernatural Point. Lin Tian couldn''t let that happen. After thinking it over, Lin Tian stood up and walked over. "Hey, Lin Tian, what are you doing?" Upon seeing Lin Tian getting up, Feng Jiabao hastily called out. Lin Tian didn''t reply but continued walking towards Wang Chao. Arriving in front of Wang Chao, Lin Tian gave him a glance and said calmly, "She''s already rejected you, shouldn''t you take the hint and leave?" Silence! Upon hearing these words, the place went silent. Those familiar with Wang Chao began to silently mourn for Lin Tian. This was terrible, this guy was definitely going to get beaten up! Who would dare to provoke Wang Chao at such a time? Wasn''t that asking for death? Seeing that someone actually came out to help her, Shen Mengyi was also astonished. Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, shoving Lin Tian hard in the chest: "Motherfucker, are you looking to die?" Unmoved! To Wang Chao''s surprise, his shove didn''t move the other person at all. Glancing at Wang Chao''s hand, Lin Tian reached out and lightly brushed it away, saying indifferently, "Don''t get physical." As he spoke, Lin Tian''s gaze swept around and then fixed on a table next to him. Lin Tian reached out for the table! Thud! With ease! Lin Tian effortlessly tore off a chunk of the table with his bare hand. Gripping it, slivers of sawdust trickled from his palm. Lin Tian looked at him calmly, "Are you sure you want to fight me?" Stunned! Wang Chao stared at the sawdust falling from Lin Tian''s hand, utterly dumbfounded... Chapter 137 Super Chain Quests Stunned!Wang Chao looked at Lin Tian with a stunned expression, watching the wood shavings slowly falling from Lin Tian''s palm! Damn! Is this guy even human? Wang Chao''s face was full of shock. Although the wooden desk wasn''t thick, it was not something humans could do to grab a piece of wood with their bare hands, and, what''s more, this guy even crushed the wood shavings with his bare hands! Damn! This is totally illogical! While Wang Chao was shocked, he heard Lin Tian''s calm voice again, "If you don''t want to fight with me, you better leave first!" Lin Tian looked at him indifferently. After staring blankly at Lin Tian for a while, Wang Chao took a deep breath, stared tightly at Lin Tian for a while longer, threw the rose in his hand, and turned to leave. He left! Seeing the always unruly Wang Chao actually walk away, everyone at the scene was stunned. It seemed somewhat unbelievable. Wang Chao wasn''t a fool, he could see that Lin Tian was not easy to deal with, and if it came to a fight, he was very likely to be at a disadvantage. It was better to leave first and think of a long-term plan later. After being stunned for a while, Lin Tian''s three roommates ran over in shock, looked Lin Tian up and down, then rushed to the desk Lin Tian had grabbed, looked at it, and then touched it unbelievably before looking at Lin Tian with exaggerated expressions, "Damn, Lin Tian, is this real or fake? Are you from outer space?" All three were shocked. Lin Tian just smiled faintly, ignoring the three and instead raised his eyebrows at Shen Mengyi and whistled, "Beauty, can I get your number?" At that moment, Shen Mengyi was still in shock, but hearing Lin Tian''s frivolous words, she instantly snapped back, gave Lin Tian a cold glance, and turned to leave. As she turned, her long hair swung, and a subtle fragrance wafted into the air. Lin Tian sniffed and nodded in satisfaction, "Nice scent." Hearing Lin Tian''s comment, Shen Mengyi paused her steps, then hurried on. Staring blankly at Lin Tian, Feng Jiabao admired him and exclaimed, "Big God, I''ve realized that you are truly awesome. Take my knees, will you?" "Go away!" Lin Tian waved his hand in annoyance, glanced at him, "You''re paying for the table, right?" "No problem! Absolutely no problem!" Feng Jiabao patted his chest firmly. "Then let''s go, you''re paying!" Saying this, Lin Tian wasted no more words and walked outside. When Lin Tian and his group left, some disbelieving students hurried to check the desk they had grabbed earlier. Instantly, they discovered that the desk was indeed missing a piece and even found students lying on the ground meticulously examining the crushed wood shavings. Experience more content on empire Instantly, there was a wave of astonishment. On the way back to the dorm, the three kept chattering non-stop, and even the usually silent Lin Tao looked at Lin Tian in amazement. "Actually, it''s not as exaggerated as you guys say. I just know some gripping techniques. I even saw someone on TV hammering nails into wood with his bare hands!" Lin Tian smiled lightly. Compared to that person, Lin Tian''s performance wasn''t very exaggerated. Besides, the piece of wood he grabbed this time was actually thin, so Lin Tian dared to show this move in public. "That''s still pretty impressive! Who would have thought our dorm would have a Martial World master!" Guo Rong said in awe. "It''s okay!" Lin Tian smiled wryly. For the next few days, Lin Tian hung out with Bu Mengting occasionally and spent time with his three roommates. The four of them ate together, played games together, and played cards together. And the thing they did most often was sit on the chairs at the entrance to the cafeteria with a bowl of food, eating and watching the beautiful girls come and go. "Look, another beauty coming! Wow, so pure, on the same level as Shen Mengyi! Top notch!" Feng Jiabao suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the cafeteria entrance. "Where, where?" Upon hearing this, Guo Rong, who was looking down eating, hurriedly raised his head, not even caring about the food in his mouth. Looking up, Guo Rong''s small eyes immediately narrowed, his face lecherous, "Definitely a beauty! Top notch!" Lin Tian looked up and was instantly stunned. Mengting! It was Bu Mengting! At this time, Bu Mengting was walking into the cafeteria with her three roommates. Because Lin Tian and his group were sitting on the chairs at the entrance of the cafeteria and Feng Jiabao''s actions were too obvious, Bu Mengting noticed them immediately. Seeing Lin Tian, Bu Mengting''s eyes brightened, and after speaking to her roommates, she walked toward Lin Tian. Seeing Bu Mengting coming over, Feng Jiabao was instantly excited, whispered eagerly with his head down, "She''s coming, she''s here! She must be attracted by my heroic stance!" "Bullshit, she obviously came for me; she was looking at me when she came over. Didn''t you notice?" Guo Rong countered. "Clearly, she was looking at me!" Feng Jiabao said annoyed, while starting to pretentiously tidy up his clothes. At that moment, Bu Mengting walked over. Feng Jiabao quickly waved, "Hey..." But Bu Mengting walked straight past him and stopped in front of Lin Tian, looking at him with a sweet smile, "Why are you eating here?" Stunned! Feng Jiabao was instantly stunned, his hand frozen in the air. "These idiots said they wanted to watch the beauties here, so we decided to eat here!" Lin Tian chuckled, then introduced to Bu Mengting, "This is my roommate, this is Feng Jiabao, this is Guo Rong, this is Lin Tao." "Hello!" Bu Mengting smiled sweetly at the three. "Uh, hello, hello!" The three responded somewhat dumbfounded. Looking at the three, Lin Tian introduced, "This is my girlfriend, Bu Mengting!" "Ah! Oh, sister-in-law, hello, hello!" Feng Jiabao quickly nodded. "Mengting!" a voice called from a distance, it was a girl calling her. Bu Mengting turned her head and then told the four people, "My roommate is calling me. Let''s chat next time!" "Oh, sure, sure!" "Sister-in-law, take care!" After Bu Mengting walked away, Feng Jiabao looked at Lin Tian with a face full of sorrow, "Why did such good food have to be ruined by a pig!" "Exactly!" Guo Rong also had a sad expression and, pretending, wiped away non-existent tears. Speechless, Lin Tian stretched out his hand to put it around Lin Tao, who was sitting beside him, and sighed at the sight of Feng Jiabao and the others, "I''m stuck with the wrong crowd! Lin Tao here is the only good one." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Lin Tao raised his head, a faint expression visible behind his thick glasses, "Actually, I think a beautiful flower is stuck on your manure pile!" "You..." Lin Tian was flustered. Amidst laughter and play, half an hour later, the four of them finished lunch. By then, the cafeteria was nearly empty. Seeing this, Feng Jiabao suggested, "Guys, shall we head back?" "Let''s go!" Immediately, the four of them picked up their bowls and headed to the dorm. As they passed the cafeteria hallway, Lin Tian and his friends noticed a crowd gathered at the entrance of the hallway. "Let''s go check it out, see what''s happening!" Feng Jiabao hurried over quickly. Soon after, Feng Jiabao came running back, a mischievous look on his face, "Guess who I saw?" "Who?" "Shen Mengyi!" Feng Jiabao said somewhat excitedly. "What is she doing there?" Guo Rong asked curiously. "It seems like they are organizing some event and are signing people up!" Feng Jiabao didn''t see it clearly, as he had hurriedly run back to report after seeing Shen Mengyi. "Really? Let''s go and see!" Hearing Shen Mengyi''s name, Guo Rong was excited. He had been talking about Shen Mengyi for days and finally saw her today. Immediately, the four walked over curiously. Upon entering, Lin Tian noticed a poster on a display stand nearby. Lin Tian glanced at it and instantly saw the large letters on the poster¡ªNewcomer Talent Competition! Lin Tian looked further down to see what was written: Want to showcase your charisma? Want to shine in the spotlight with your talent? Come on! We welcome you! Welcome to the Newcomer Talent Competition. Note: Only freshmen of this academic session can participate. Preliminary round location: Classroom 514. Date: September 1-3. Judge Panel: Shen Mengyi, Lin Jiajia¡­ Newcomer Talent Competition? Seeing this poster, Lin Tian was startled. Before he could recover, he was stunned again. An electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind, "Super Chain Quest: The first mini task¡ªparticipate in the Newcomer Talent Competition, perform an act that leaves Shen Mengyi astounded. Reward for completing this task: one Superpower Point." A task, and it was a Super Chain Quest, too. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The sudden alert left Lin Tian stunned. After snapping out of it, Lin Tian looked towards Shen Mengyi. At that moment, Shen Mengyi was sitting on a chair, head bowed, busy filling out the registration checklist. "Let''s also sign up!" Seeing that Shen Mengyi was actually a judge, Guo Rong''s eyes lit up. Giving Guo Rong a look, Feng Jiabao asked, "What talents do you have?" "Eating, sleeping, playing games¡ªdo those count?" After hesitating, Guo Rong asked uncertainly. "Cut it out, go play on your own. You''re better off not mixing in, let me do it!" Feng Jiabao waved him off decisively. "And what special talents do you have?" Guo Rong, still skeptical, questioned him. "Haven''t you noticed how handsome I am? This handsome face of mine is the talent!" said Feng Jiabao, tossing his head flirtatiously. Speechless at the two jokers, Lin Tian glanced at them and squeezed through the crowd to get inside. "What''s Lin Tian doing?" Seeing Lin Tian push through the crowd, Feng Jiabao was taken aback. "He wouldn''t really go and sign up, would he?" Guo Rong was stunned. Is Lin Tian serious? Pushing through the crowd, Lin Tian came directly to Shen Mengyi''s side and knocked on the table. Knock knock! As the table made a noise, Shen Mengyi, who had been writing, looked up and, seeing it was Lin Tian, she was a bit startled. Seeing Shen Mengyi look up, Lin Tian grinned, "Beauty, I want to sign up too!" Regaining her composure, Shen Mengyi coldly replied, "Which department, major, class, name¡ªfill it in yourself!" pointing to a form in front of her. Lin Tian glanced over it, sighed, and bent down to start filling out the information. After a while, Lin Tian put down the pen. "Not leaving yet? Move on, there are more people waiting!" Shen Mengyi did not give Lin Tian any special treatment. Somewhat speechlessly, Lin Tian turned and walked away. Chapter 138 Mechanical Dance Lin Tianyi emerged and was immediately surrounded by three people.Feng Jiabao stared at Lin Tian in surprise, "Lin Tian, did you really sign up? What are you going to perform? it can''t be grabbing wood, can it?" "I bet it''s grabbing watermelons, the kind where you grab a hundred at a time!" Guo Rong chuckled from the side. Rolling his eyes at the two, Lin Tian said expressionlessly, "I''m performing the robot dance!" "Robot dance?" Hearing this, the three were stunned. After a moment of stunned silence, Feng Jiabao looked at Lin Tian, "You know how to do the robot dance?" Seeing the looks from the three of them, Lin Tian shook his head calmly, "Of course...not!" "Damn! What''s going on! For real!" Guo Rong exclaimed with wide eyes. "Why would I lie to you, I plan to start learning when I get back!" Lin Tian said flatly. "Wow, what are you doing!" The three were rendered speechless by Lin Tian''s words. Was he intending to learn now, as a joke? Glancing at the three, Lin Tian remained silent, thinking to himself, "You guys could never understand my learning abilities!" With his photographic memory and strong comprehension skills, Lin Tian was confident he could master the robot dance in a very short time. Back in his dorm room, Lin Tian immediately turned on his computer and started learning. The essence of the robot dance is to make the body move like a robot, using muscle contractions and relaxations to create vibrations and stops in movement, involving shoulders, chest, arms, legs, and more. Simply put, it makes a person look like they are a dancing robot, a dance that has a great sense of rhythm, something Lin Tian had always liked but never learned. Click! Click! Once back in the dorm, Lin Tian started learning from his computer. At first, Lin Tian''s attempts drew laughter from the three, who said Lin Tian should not embarrass himself and make a fool of himself in public. But it didn''t take long for exclamations of astonishment to arise from them. Exaggerated! The speed of Lin Tian''s improvement was exaggerated. Your journey continues with empire Initially, Lin Tian knew nothing, but within minutes, he could perform decently. And a few hours later, Lin Tian had left the three of them dumbfounded with his performance. Three hours later, watching Lin Tian''s performance, Feng Jiabao''s eyes widened in amazement, "Lin Tian, you''re incredible, please accept my knees! I''ll follow you!" "Me too! Great god, take me in!" Guo Rong also widened his eyes. Amazement! Lin Tian''s performance was truly astonishing. They had witnessed him transform from a complete beginner to a robot dance master! This learning ability was too exaggerated! It wasn''t just Feng Jiabao and the others; Lin Tao also stared blankly at Lin Tian, his eyes gleaming, wondering to himself. "Phew!" Feeling that it was about time, Lin Tian sighed deeply, stopping his continuous practice. With his current form, Lin Tian felt it should be enough. Looking at the time, he was surprised to see it was already four-thirty, so Lin Tian said, "Let''s go eat, and after dinner, you guys come and watch my performance!" "No problem, your performance will surely stun everyone there!" Feng Jiabao laughed. Then the four of them ran to the cafeteria to eat. After eating, it was only five o''clock. Seeing that it was still early, Guo Rong suggested going to the internet caf¨¦ to play games, as the audition was not until seven o''clock. Since it was still early, Lin Tian saw no objection. So, the group headed to an internet caf¨¦ outside the school and started gaming. The four of them were playing CF at the caf¨¦. Initially, Lin Tian didn''t play this game, but since they were, he had to join in. However, once he started, he found it addicting, and time began to slip by unnoticed. After another round, Lin Tian popped up a window and cursed loudly. Eight-thirty! Unbelievably, it was already eight-thirty! Sensing the urgency, Lin Tian quickly pulled off his headphones and shouted, "Let''s go, let''s go, it''s already eight-thirty!" "Huh?" Hearing Lin Tian''s shout, the other three hastily yanked off their headphones and hurriedly logged off. By the time the four arrived at classroom 514, there were hardly any people left. The audition participants had already gone, only a few judges were still inside discussing. "Shh!" Hearing voices inside, Feng Jiabao shushed everyone, signaling them to be quiet because he heard Shen Mengyi''s voice. "So annoying, not a single outstanding one!" a somewhat irritated voice of Shen Mengyi came from inside classroom 514. "Indeed, this batch of freshmen is rather lackluster; not one performance caught my eye." A male voice spoke up at that moment. "Exactly, there''s no showstopper act; the show will lose much of its luster!" Another female voice chimed in. "Mengyi, why don''t you go out and announce that if someone can perform a piece that astounds you, you''ll kiss them! I bet that will bring a crowd!" the male voice teased. "Yeah, yeah, you never know, a great act might just show up!" Another female voice also added giggling. "Psh! If someone really can perform something that leaves me astounded, what harm is there in kissing them!" Hearing the back and forth, Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes and retorted. "Really?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from the doorway. The sudden sound made the three judges start, then look up somewhat bewilderedly towards the doorway. As Shen Mengyi looked up, she saw Lin Tian walking in with a grin, followed by his three roommates. Entering the room, Lin Tian walked up to Shen Mengyi with a smile. "What were you saying just now? If someone can perform a piece that astounds you, you''ll kiss whom? Really or not?" Recognizing it was Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi''s face instantly stiffened, "Does it matter whether it''s real or not?" she responded coolly. "If it''s real then let me show you, and if it''s not..." Lin Tian paused and grinned at her. "then it means you''re a liar!" "You''re saying you can do it?" Shen Mengyi gave Lin Tian a cold look. "Of course!" Lin Tian replied, lifting his chin confidently. "And what if you can''t?" Shen Mengyi scoffed. "If I can''t? I''ll let you do whatever you want with me!" Lin Tian said, grinning at her. "Alright then, perform. What are you going to do?" Shen Mengyi asked directly, meanwhile internally mocking, "A performance so astonishing that it''ll leave yourself dumbfounded? Impossible. I''ll just watch with a straight face and see how you talk your way out of the big talk you''ve made." Shen Mengyi was very dissatisfied with Lin Tian''s arrogance. "Robot dance!" Shen Mengyi''s disdain was evident on her face, but Lin Tian didn''t mind. You''ll understand soon. "Robot dance, huh? Okay, you start." Shen Mengyi tapped her pen on the table and spoke indifferently. Hearing her words, Lin Tian didn''t waste any words either, and turned to Guo Rong, "Fatty, music!" "Ah? Oh!" Guo Rong was startled, then hurriedly pulled out his cellphone, and also took out a palm-sized speaker. This speaker was specially purchased by Lin Tian from the school supermarket for this performance. "Boom, boom, boom..." As Guo Rong pressed play, a soothing rhythm began to play. Click, click... Following the beats of the music, Lin Tian''s body suddenly moved. Lin Tian moved slowly, moving gently with the beats of the music. Everyone''s eyes widened as they watched Lin Tian''s performance. The performance had just begun, and within just a few seconds, other than Shen Mengyi, the other two judges were nodding repeatedly. Although it had just started, Lin Tian''s presence was already strong, and he really looked like a robot. "Bang! Click! Bang! Click!..." As the soothing music passed, the rhythm sped up, and instantly Lin Tian''s body also started to move with a clicking sound! Click! Click! Lin Tian''s joints seemed to be assembled together, just like a robot dancing. "Click, click, click!" A rapid musical tone sounded. Click, click, click! Lin Tian''s joints twisted rapidly along with it, resembling the sounds of a robot dancing its limbs! Brilliant! Seeing this scene, the two judges'' eyes widened! And upon seeing this, a gleam flashed in Shen Mengyi''s eyes! Very good! A very good performance! Shen Mengyi admitted it was a very good performance; she would have been extremely surprised if it weren''t for Lin Tian''s earlier remarks because this was the best robot dance she had seen. But now... Even if Lin Tian''s performance was spectacular, Shen Mengyi''s face showed no expression. Whoosh! Suddenly, a gliding sound came from the speaker. Whoosh! With that sound, Lin Tian suddenly slid a meter away, and it looked as if he instantly moved halfway¡ªShen Mengyi and the others didn''t even see Lin Tian''s feet move! Brilliant! Seeing this scene, the two judges were somewhat dumbfounded, and Lin Tian''s move also surprised Shen Mengyi. But her face still showed no expression, remembering the bet she had with Lin Tian earlier. Even though they had already seen Lin Tian''s expression in the dorm, Guo Rong and the others were still somewhat amazed. Brilliant! They really enjoyed the rhythmic beauty. Watching for a while, Feng Jiabao suddenly shook his head, "What a pity." Lin Tao and the others naturally knew what Feng Jiabao was referring to. Feng Jiabao regretted that Lin Tian had spoken too confidently at the beginning. It would have been better if he had spoken after the performance. Now, having prematurely said he would leave Shen Mengyi dumbfounded, he gave her mental preparation, and even if Shen Mengyi was surprised, she would not show any expression. Thinking of this, Guo Rong looked toward Shen Mengyi and indeed, despite her surprise, Shen Mengyi kept a straight face. Lin Tian was obviously unaware of this, or he wouldn''t have spoken so confidently; what was coming next was the real highlight! sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It should be here!" With that thought, suddenly, a loud noise sounded from the speaker! "Boom!" Like a heavy drum sound! The sudden sound startled everyone. Boom! With this sound, Lin Tian suddenly lifted his right foot. "Boom!" Another huge drum sound! Smack! Lin Tian''s lifted right foot directly stepped on the air! Step! Lin Tian directly stepped on the thin air! And the next scene left everyone dumbfounded! As Lin Tian made his step, his body suddenly rose higher, looking as if there was an invisible step in the air that Lin Tian was stepping on. Seeing this, everyone''s eyes widened as they looked down at Lin Tian''s feet. Upon looking, everyone was stunned again! The feet were off the ground! Lin Tian''s feet were actually floating in the air! "Boom, boom!" Lin Tian ignored everyone''s astonishment and continued stepping in the air, as if there were invisible stairs beneath his feet! Chapter 139 Delivering Paper Dumbstruck!Seeing this scene, Shen Mengyi was instantly dumbstruck; she couldn''t have anticipated this at all! At this time, she had already forgotten about the bet with Lin Tian and was just staring blankly at Lin Tian''s feet as they floated up. "Bang! Crack! Bang! Crack!" As the music hit its beats, Lin Tian twisted his body and slowly floated towards Shen Mengyi through the air. Meanwhile, Shen Mengyi was still staring up in surprise... Slowly arriving in front of Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian bent down like a robot and gently lifted her delicate chin with his hand, teasing, "Beauty, how about a kiss?" "Beauty, how about a kiss?" Hearing the flirtatious words next to her ear, Shen Mengyi was startled, snapped back to her senses, and immediately slapped Lin Tian''s hand away, angrily saying, "What are you doing!" "Smack!" Lin Tian''s body landed on the ground, looking at her with a cheeky grin, "Who just said they would kiss me if they were stunned by my performance?" "I, I didn''t!" Panicked for a moment, Shen Mengyi quickly retorted. "No? That''s too disappointing! Turns out you are someone who doesn''t keep their word!" Lin Tian pretended to shake his head in disappointment. "Who doesn''t keep their word!" Shen Mengyi shouted angrily. "Then how about a kiss?" Lin Tian grinned mischievously, leaning his face closer. "Get lost! Disgusting!" Shen Mengyi promptly pushed Lin Tian''s face away, angrily shouted. "Alright then, if that''s the person I''m dealing with, I can''t help it!" Lin Tian shrugged and then turned to walk away. Seeing Lin Tian about to walk away, Shen Mengyi panicked and immediately cried out, "Hey, wait!" "What!" Lin Tian stopped but didn''t turn around. "You, you remember to come for the second round of auditions tomorrow!" After hesitating, Shen Mengyi awkwardly said. "Second round? I''m not coming!" Lin Tian waved his hand dismissively and continued walking. "Then what do you want?" Shen Mengyi asked a bit anxiously. She really wanted Lin Tian to perform, especially since the scene of him levitating had truly shocked her. She could imagine, if Lin Tian performed this act at the elegance competition, it would definitely blow everyone away. She didn''t want to let Lin Tian go. "What do I want?" Hearing this, Lin Tian slowly turned around, looking her up and down, "It''s not about what I want, it''s about you. What about what you said?" "Could you, could you change the condition!" Stunned for a moment, Shen Mengyi urged. Not wanting to let Lin Tian go but also not wanting to kiss him, she could only say. "No, you said it yourself; you have to stick to it. I''ll let you kiss my cheek at most, but if you don''t agree to this, then forget it!" Lin Tian shook his foot, having an indifferent attitude. "You¡­" Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian angrily but seeing that he was adamant, she reluctantly nodded her head after a moment of thought. "Really?" Seeing Shen Mengyi nod, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, a trace of joy flickering across his face. As he said this, Lin Tian quickly walked over, leaned his face closer, and teasingly said, "Come on, beauty!" Seeing Lin Tian lean in, Shen Mengyi''s face instantly turned red, she hesitated for a moment, and her rosy lips quickly moved closer. With a pop, it was like a dragonfly skimming the water! Seeing this scene, Feng Jiabao and Guo Rong had eyes green with envy! Damn! Why wasn''t it themselves! Feeling the moist lips touch his cheek, Lin Tian smiled slightly, touched his face, and chuckled, "Nice taste!" S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You, hooligan!" Seeing Lin Tian''s brazen demeanor, Shen Mengyi''s face was flush with anger, and she quickly turned and walked away at a fast pace. "Uh¡­" Seeing Shen Mengyi''s quickly retreating figure, Lin Tian was stunned and felt his vitality ebbing. "It was just a joke, really..." Lin Tian muttered to himself in exasperation. Stunned for a moment, the other two judges couldn''t care about Shen Mengyi anymore and hurried over to Lin Tian, looking at him with amazement, "Young man, what was that just now? How did you float up?" After glancing at the two judges, Lin Tian smiled and explained, "Have you heard of levitation magic?" "Could it be¡­" A realization flashed through their eyes. "Exactly!" Lin Tian confirmed with a nod, "I just combined levitation magic with the robot dance." "You know magic too?" The female judge stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes. "I know a little bit," Lin Tian chuckled. "Then can you perform another magic trick?" The female judge asked with wide eyes. "Uh¡­" Lin Tian laughed awkwardly, "I don''t think so, I think this show is enough; I have no other plans." After chatting for a while, Lin Tian said goodbye to the two judges and then went back with his three roommates. On the way, the three roommates kept pestering Lin Tian with questions, and at the same time, they howled in envy, jealousy, and admiration upon recalling the girl Shen Mengyi actually giving Lin Tian a kiss. After arriving back at the dormitory, they played around for a bit, and at ten-thirty, the lights in the dormitory were turned off. After the lights were out, Lin Tian lay on his bed with his consciousness immersed in the Sea of Consciousness. As his awareness entered the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian glanced at the six golden Supernatural Points floating in the air and thought to himself, "I have six Supernatural Points now. Accumulating four more will allow me to create another superpower." After glancing at the Supernatural Points, Lin Tian''s gaze shifted back to the super task. As Lin Tian''s consciousness entered the super task, a synthesized electronic voice sounded again, "Super Sequential Task: The first mini-task is to participate in the Freshmen Talent Show and perform in a way that leaves Shen Mengyi dumbfounded. Reward for completing this task: one Supernatural Point. Penalty for failure: deduction of two Supernatural Points." Looking at the requirements of the first task, Lin Tian thought to himself, "Making Shen Mengyi dumbfounded has already been achieved; all that''s left is to participate in the Freshmen Talent Show. After participating, this task should be completed." This task actually had two conditions: one was to perform in a way that leaves Shen Mengyi dumbfounded, which Lin Tian had already achieved, and the second was to participate in the talent show, which could naturally be completed when the time came. "The first task is no problem!" Lin Tian thought to himself. The most difficult part of this task was the first condition, which Lin Tian had already completed. Naturally, there shouldn''t be any problem with this task now. "I wonder what the second mini-task is?" Lying in bed, Lin Tian pondered quietly. "Ding dong!" Just as Lin Tian was thinking, suddenly, a synthesized electronic voice rang out in his mind, "Super Sequential Task: The second mini-task is to personally deliver tissue to Shen Mengyi in the restroom. Reward for completing the mini-task: one Supernatural Point. Penalty for failure: deduction of two Supernatural Points. Note: This task has a time limit of ten minutes. If not completed within ten minutes, it will be considered a failure!" "What?" Lin Tian was stunned when he heard the task notification. "Damn! What kind of task is this? Delivering tissue? You''ve got to be kidding. Does Shen Mengyi actually go to the restroom without bringing tissue? No way!" Lin Tian was shocked upon hearing the task. What a bizarre task indeed! And what made Lin Tian even more speechless was that he had to personally deliver the tissue! What was this all about? After being stunned for a while and checking the time, Lin Tian realized that he had already spaced out for over ten seconds, leaving only a little over nine minutes. With not much time left, Lin Tian stopped thinking and hurriedly got up. "What are you doing? Why aren''t you sleeping yet?" Lin Tao, who noticed Lin Tian getting up and clattering away at the computer, curiously asked. "Nothing, I''m going to the restroom!" Lin Tian casually replied, grabbed a pack of tissues, and then opened the door and left. Throwing Lin Tian a strange look, Lin Tao didn''t bother with him and continued clacking on his computer, filled with all sorts of bizarre symbols. Having left the dorm room and arrived at the stairwell, Lin Tian looked around and instantly turned invisible. Once he was invisible, Lin Tian quickly approached the window and leaped in an instant! Thump! Lin Tian landed on the ground. The three-story height was no issue for Lin Tian''s physical faculties. Had the dormitory''s main door not already been closed, Lin Tian wouldn''t have needed to jump out the building. After leaving the male dormitory, Lin Tian looked around briefly, determined his target direction, and then quickly ran towards the female dormitory where Shen Mengyi was. In Lin Tian''s eyes, there was a faintly flickering red dot ahead. The dot was human-shaped, and its stance suggested it was squatting. Seeing this shape, Lin Tian instantly figured out what Shen Mengyi was up to. ** Meanwhile, as Lin Tian was rapidly heading towards the female dormitory, Shen Mengyi was squatting inside the restroom, depressed. She was distracted by thinking of that jerk, Lin Tian, and forgot to bring tissues when she went to the restroom, and tragically, she also forgot her phone when she came in. What was even sadder was that since it was very late, she was the only one in the restroom! It was as if neither heaven nor earth could hear her! "It''s all because of that guy! Pervert! Freak!" Thinking of Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi angrily said. If it weren''t for Lin Tian''s shameless demeanor, she wouldn''t have forgotten even the tissues. "This school is also stingy, not even installing restrooms inside the dormitory!" After berating Lin Tian for a while, Shen Mengyi started to complain about the school. Shen Mengyi''s dormitory was an old dormitory, which, on each floor, only had two large restrooms on either end and none inside the dorm rooms. "Ah, what should I do?" Squatting in the restroom, Shen Mengyi looked helpless. "If only someone would pass by!" Shen Mengyi thought hopefully. At that moment, Lin Tian was rapidly climbing towards the female dormitory. "Thump!" Grabbing the window ledge, Lin Tian instantly exerted force and flipped inside. Scanning left and right, he saw that the hallway was empty; obviously, everyone else was asleep. Lin Tian swept his gaze around and then spotted the restroom at the end of the hallway. And within his line of sight, there was a red silhouette squatting inside. Seeing the silhouette flickering with red light, Lin Tian knew it must be Shen Mengyi. After a moment of thought, Lin Tian cautiously walked over, trying not to make any noise. As Lin Tian slowly advanced into the restroom, a frustrated voice rang out, "It''s frustrating, why does no one come to the restroom? I''ve been almost waiting for ten minutes. Sigh, if it really comes to it, I''ll just have to shout... But that would be so embarrassing!" "Tissues, where on earth are you!" Chapter 140 Coach, Lets Practice Hearing Shen Mengyi''s incessant murmuring, Lin Tian smirked and slowly walked over.As he walked over and gazed at the green partition in front of him, upon hearing the voice inside, Lin Tian was certain that Shen Mengyi was inside! But how could he get the tissue to her! Glancing around, Lin Tian''s gaze landed on the gap in the green partition. Immediately, Lin Tian took a tissue from his pocket and tossed it through the gap. "Tissue, oh tissue! Where are you!" Crouching in the restroom, Shen Mengyi looked frustrated. She propped her chin in her hands, her face expressing helplessness. Just as she was thinking about whether to call out loudly to see if anyone was coming, she suddenly paused and stared blankly ahead. A bunch of white toilet paper suddenly fell from the partition in front of her. What is... Taken aback, Shen Mengyi raised her head and called out to the outside of the partition, "Is anyone there?" Silence! No response at all. "Is anyone there?" Seeing that no one responded, she waited a moment and asked again. Still, no one responded. After hesitating for a while, Shen Mengyi picked up the tissue from the floor, examined it, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the tissue looked clean. After checking the tissue, Shen Mengyi used it right away; at that moment, she couldn''t care less about anything else. After wiping, Shen Mengyi quickly pulled up her pants and opened the door of the restroom. As soon as she opened the door, she curiously looked around. The area was silent, not a soul in the restroom. "Strange, how did that tissue get here?" Shen Mengyi thought with a tinge of annoyance, then turned to flush the restroom. Meanwhile, the invisible Lin Tian chuckled mischievously. As Shen Mengyi turned around, Lin Tian even caught a glimpse of the pink lace of her underwear peeking out. She had been in such a hurry that she hadn''t adjusted her pants properly. After flushing, Shen Mengyi glanced around the restroom curiously again and loudly asked, "Is anyone there?" Still, not a soul around. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Weird!" Scratching her head, Shen Mengyi walked out of the restroom, puzzled, while muttering softly to herself, "It''s all that damn Lin Tian''s fault, or else none of this would have happened. So annoying, I''ll make him pay next time!" Murmuring to herself, Shen Mengyi walked outside. Hearing Shen Mengyi''s complaints, Lin Tian felt a bit annoyed. What the heck, why am I to blame! I''ll teach you a lesson! With that thought, Lin Tian tiptoed hurriedly after her. "Ah!" Shen Mengyi suddenly screamed, quickly turning around with wide eyes. Covering her butt, Shen Mengyi stared behind her with wide eyes. No one there! No one behind her, completely empty, yet she had distinctly felt someone grab her butt a moment ago. Impossible! Was it a ghost? That thought flashed through Shen Mengyi''s mind instantly, and at the same time, the mysterious appearance of that wad of paper came to mind. Could it really be a ghost? The thought sent a shiver of fear through her, and she quickly turned and hurried away. SMACK SMACK! She was so hasty she almost fell over. Watching Shen Mengyi''s flustered departure, Lin Tian grinned mischievously: "Hehe, that''s for badmouthing me behind my back." Savoring the feel of his earlier mischief, Lin Tian then walked out of the restroom and left through the window. With a bang, he jumped down from the window of the female dormitory. As soon as he landed, Lin Tian submerged his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness, and immediately a synthetic electronic voice rang out: "Super Series Task: The second mini-task of giving Shen Mengyi tissue has been completed, reward 1 Superpower Point." Hearing this, a gleam of pleasure crossed Lin Tian''s eyes: "Not bad, not bad! Another Superpower Point earned, it seems this super task isn''t too hard after all!" Another Superpower Point earned, a spark of excitement in Lin Tian''s eyes, if all super missions were this easy, he wouldn''t mind having a few more. "Another Superpower Point added, making it seven in total now. Not bad at all!" Delighted, he checked his accumulated Superpower Points, then Lin Tian''s consciousness returned to reality, he glanced around and then ran towards his dormitory. Following the same method, cloaked in invisibility, Lin Tian returned to the men''s dormitory. When Lin Tian got back to the dorm room, it hadn''t even been ten minutes since he left. Opening the dorm room door, Lin Tian found Lin Tao still intensely engaged with something at the computer desk. Seeing Lin Tao at this moment, there was a distinctive charm in his eyes, which seemed full of spirit, that confident demeanor completely overturned his usual introverted and low-key aura. Curiously, Lin Tian walked over, glanced from behind Lin Tao, and immediately felt dizzy. Lin Tao''s computer was filled with numbers and codes, incomprehensible to Lin Tian. Curiously glancing at Lin Tao, Lin Tian patted his shoulder and smiled, "Lin Tao, I didn''t realize you were such a computer whiz. What are you doing?" "Writing a program." Lin Tao replied without turning his head, his hands continuing to type away. "Nice, nice!" Lin Tian patted Lin Tao''s shoulder, then yawned sleepily and walked towards his bed. Feeling a bit sleepy... He didn''t think too much about Lin Tao being good with computers. Lying in bed, Lin Tian drowsily brainstormed ideas, and before he knew it, he drifted off to sleep. The next day, Lin Tian and several roommates returned to classroom 514. Chapter 140 Coach, Lets Practice_2 This time was the re-evaluation round of the Style Competition.This time, Lin Tian performed only after all the other contestants had left to keep his act secret, and he did not perform the robot dance in front of everyone again. Seeing Lin Tian''s performance again, even though everyone had seen it the day before, their faces still flickered with a hint of shock. "That''s it, Lin Tian, when you perform on September 6th, your act will be the grand finale that guarantees to stun the whole audience!" one of the judges laughed heartily. Lin Tian just smiled faintly, not saying much. However, Lin Tian noticed that Shen Mengyi did not look very well today; her complexion was somewhat pale, and she even had dark circles under her eyes. Seeing Shen Mengyi like this, Lin Tian thought to himself,"Damn, could it be that she was scared by me and didn''t sleep all night yesterday?" He guessed inwardly, but Lin Tian didn''t do anything; these kinds of things would pass in a few days. Two days later, at six o''clock in the evening, the Freshmen Style Competition started on time. Lin Tian''s act was the second last, serving as one of the grand finale performances. "Thump, Thump!" No sooner had Lin Tian stepped on stage than his unique and rhythmic dance instantly set the whole audience ablaze. And when Lin Tian soared into the air, treading on nothingness, it stunned everyone even more. Ultimately, thanks to Lin Tian''s performance, the atmosphere in the venue reached its peak. Five minutes later, the performance ended, and Lin Tian left the stage. Just as Lin Tian finished his act, a synthetic electronic voice sounded in his mind:"Super Chain Mission: The first task of participating in the Freshman Style Competition and performing an act that leaves Shen Mengyi dumbstruck is completed, reward 1 Supernatural Point!" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief! It was finally over! This mission was finally completed. "I''ve gained another Supernatural Point, adding to the previous seven, I now have eight Supernatural Points. Not bad, not bad!" Lin Tian realized that his Supernatural Points had been accumulating a lot faster lately. "Hmm, if all the super missions are this simple, I wouldn''t mind having a few more." Lin Tian thought, slightly greedy. "Just don''t know what the next minor task will be." Thinking that he had already completed two tasks and there were still eight more to go, Lin Tian pondered. As Lin Tian was reflecting on his superpower, the podium had already started a grand chorus. The grand chorus was the final item of the entire event. Glancing boredly at the grand chorus, Lin Tian mumbled to himself,"Military training starts tomorrow, no more fun!" Wu''an University''s freshmen had a week off at the beginning of the semester to familiarize themselves with the environment, but from the seventh, they would start their military training. "Military training, huh..." Thinking about the military training, Lin Tian smacked his lips, wondering about it. The next day, at six thirty in the morning, Lin Tian''s alarm clock went off. Lin Tian, still groggy, turned off the alarm on his phone and went back to sleep. But just as he was lying down, Lin Tian suddenly realized, sprang up, looked at the three people still sleeping, and shouted, "Guys, get up! It''s time for military training!" Saying this, Lin Tian got up and began putting on his clothes. Lin Tian''s shout woke Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao; both of them were stunned for a moment before hurriedly getting up. By the time Lin Tian had his green military uniform on, he noticed that Guo Rong on Bed No. 2 was still sleeping soundly. Shaking his head in disbelief, Lin Tian walked over and loudly thumped the bed, yelling, "Fatty, wake up!" "Snore~!" In response, Guo Rong only offered rhythmic snores. Speechless, Lin Tian smacked the bed again and shouted, "Wake up!" "Hmm, don''t disturb me, let me sleep a bit longer~!" Guo Rong slapped his hand and then turned over to continue sleeping. "Let it be, don''t call him anymore. Let''s brush our teeth and bring breakfast over." Seeing this, Lin Tao said. "Fine!" Lin Tian shook his head resignedly, and finally turned to leave; it was always Guo Rong who got up the latest in the dormitory. Twenty minutes later, when Lin Tian and the others returned with breakfast, they found Guo Rong still asleep and had to wake him up again, speechlessly. With some effort, five minutes later, Guo Rong finally got up, albeit reluctantly. Seeing Guo Rong''s reluctant look, Lin Tian said exasperatedly, "Might as well not call you Fatty, but Sleep Demon instead!" "Exactly, exactly!" Feng Jiabao, while biting into a pork bun, replied somewhat unclearly, "No matter how much we try to wake him, he doesn''t, and he snores too, definitely a sleep demon!" "Ignorance! You guys don''t understand that sleeping is one of life''s great pleasures!" Guo Rong rolled his eyes at them, yawned, and took his toothbrush to go brush his teeth. Half an hour later, the whole class gathered on the sports field. Standing on the sports field, Lin Tian scanned around and saw a sea of green, all new students dressed in their military uniforms. After a short break, the military training officially began. Initially, everyone was excited, but it didn''t take long for everyone to start getting tired of it. Marching in step, lining up! Just these, and endlessly repeated, the worst part was that it was all under the scorching sun! After two hours of training, there was a chorus of complaints from the class. "Instructor, can we take a break now? We''ve been training for so long!" someone started to complain. "Exactly! Instructor, let''s have a break, please." Hearing this, a chorus of agreement rang out around. "Take a break? We just had a break, you''ve only been training for ten minutes and you want another break already! What''s this!" Instructor Zhong Jian looked disapprovingly at these college students. He thought they were too pampered. "We are tired, we''ve been training for so long, and the sun is so harsh! Instructor, please let us rest a bit more!" Immediately, a girl from the class cooed pleadingly. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 140 Coach, Lets Practice_3 "No more nonsense, or you''ll be standing as punishment!""Really, what''s with the attitude!" A girl muttered under her breath, clearly annoyed. Glancing at the girl, Zhong Jian said, "I can give you all a chance." "What?" Upon hearing this, everyone''s eyes lit up with anticipation. His gaze swept over these hopeful faces, and Zhong Jian slowly continued, "As long as one of you can beat me, I''ll let you rest for half an hour." "Really?" The crowd was stunned, but after glancing at Zhong Jian''s build, someone immediately cried out in despair, "Coach, you''re trained in this, who could possibly beat you!" "You can team up, two against one." Zhong Jian said indifferently after scanning the group of students. "Two people? Really?" A wave of excited voices rose from the crowd. "Stop with the nonsense. If you want a try, then come on up." Zhong Jian swept his gaze over the students impassively. Before long, two students who were over 1.8 meters tall stepped forward. Both students were among the stronger-looking boys in the class, and Zhong Jian was also 1.8 meters tall. After scanning the two of them, Zhong Jian said, "Let''s head over to the grass." They then made their way to the grass, surrounded by their excited classmates. Standing firm on the grass, Zhong Jian said expressionlessly, "Come at me with your attack, don''t hold back!" Despite Zhong Jian''s words, the two students still held back, fearing they might injure him. But then... Slap, slap! With a swift leg sweep and a shove of his arm, Zhong Jian knocked both students to the ground in an instant. Glancing at them impassively, Zhong Jian said, "I told you not to hold back!" "Let''s go again!" the two students protested, not convinced, and got up to challenge him once more. But the result was the same! In just a few moves, Zhong Jian had the two on the ground again, and it was evident he hadn''t even let them get a scratch on him, clearly holding back. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing this, all the students fell silent. After that, a few more students stepped forward to challenge him, not willing to accept defeat. But the following rounds ended even more swiftly than the first. This time, the students were truly lost for words. "The instructor is so formidable. Isn''t there anyone in the class who can beat him?" While watching, Lin Tian suddenly heard a soft voice from the girl in front of him. The voice was very pleasant and gentle. Glancing at the girl, Lin Tian recognized her; there was no help for it¡ªshe was the prettiest girl in the class. Lin Tian''s class unanimously acknowledged belle, Lin Tingting. "Tingting, why don''t you go up and use your ''Beauty Trap''?" At that moment, a girl beside her said teasingly. "What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Tingting glared at the girl and then looked at Zhong Jian, thinking to herself, "The instructor is really formidable. Could it be that no two students in the class can beat him? It would be nice if someone could defeat him; I really would like to rest a bit longer." As Lin Tingting was entertaining this thought, Lin Tian stiffened behind her, his expression turning into one of surprise. At the same time, a synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Realize Lin Tingting''s wish to rest, defeat instructor Zhong Jian. Reward: One Superpower Point." A mission, a mission has come! Lin Tian glanced over and indeed saw the mission''s red light twinkling on Lin Tingting. Lin Tian shook his head speechlessly, thinking how a mission could come at any time. While Lin Tian was still in a daze, Zhong Jian saw that no one else was coming forward, so he clapped his hands and shouted, "Since you''ve lost the bet, you better train obediently. I''ve decided to postpone the next break by twenty minutes." "Wow, no way!" Read new chapters at empire "Coach, you''re too harsh!" ... The scene erupted with groans of despair. "Wait!" Just as the students were lamenting, a loud cry suddenly cut through the air. At the sound, everyone turned in surprise toward where it originated. Lin Tingting also turned her head curiously, and then she saw Lin Tian. With a slight smile towards Lin Tingting, Lin Tian slowly stepped forward. As Lin Tian stepped out, the students automatically made way for him. Approaching Zhong Jian, Lin Tian raised his head to look at him and said, "Coach, let''s have a go." Frowning, Zhong Jian glanced at Lin Tian and asked with some confusion, "Just you alone?" "Right!" Lin Tian calmly nodded his head. "I suggest you find another person to join you!" Zhong Jian said, looking indifferently at Lin Tian. "No need, I''m enough by myself!" Lin Tian replied, and proceeded to take off his shirt, revealing his well-defined eight-pack abs. "Wow~!" Seeing Lin Tian''s chiseled abs, a chorus of gasps echoed through the crowd. Among the crowd, Feng Jiabao looked at Lin Tian jealously, "This guy is showing off again, what''s there to flaunt, taking off his shirt!" "Exactly, exactly! Does he even look as good as me!" Guo Rong also said impatiently, glancing at Lin Tian, then touching his own round belly with a look of resentment. Seeing Lin Tian''s sturdy muscles, Zhong Jian was taken aback, then shook his head: "Having a good physique isn''t everything!" "I believe I can do it!" Lin Tian stated softly. "Is that so? Alright then, go ahead and make your move." Zhong Jian said calmly, not taking Lin Tian seriously. "Really? Then here I come!" Lin Tian said with a grin. "Enough talk!" Zhong Jian said, growing impatient. "Here I go!" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, his muscles tightened, and he lunged forward. "Hey!" Lin Tian shouted loudly¡ª Bang! Eyes widened! What followed was a scene that left all the students wide-eyed and flabbergasted; they could never have expected what happened next... Chapter 141 Stop And the next scene left all the students with their eyes wide open, utterly incredulous; they never saw this coming...Down! Zhong Jian was surprisingly brought down easily by Lin Tian! Zhong Jian didn''t even have time to react. Fast! Lin Tian was too quick! Zhong Jian hadn''t even recovered his wits when he was brought to the ground by a sweep of Lin Tian''s foot. "Yay!" After being stunned for a moment, a chorus of gasps erupted from the crowd. Zhong Jian lay there somewhat dazed, still not quite grasping what had happened... After a moment, Zhong Jian snapped out of it, and with a carp''s flip, he sprang to his feet, then, locking eyes with Lin Tian, he spoke, "That doesn''t count, let''s go again." "Hey, instructor! That''s not fair, you can''t just deny it!" "Exactly, exactly!" The students expressed their dissatisfaction upon hearing Zhong Jian''s words. "It''s fine!" Lin Tian waved his hand, quieting the students'' shouts, and then looked at Zhong Jian calmly, "Handling him is just a matter of minutes!" Stunned! Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, all the students were taken aback. Lin Tian''s statement was brimming with arrogance! But Feng Jiabao and the others were annoyed and muttered to themselves while watching Lin Tian, "Showing off again!" "That''s right, that''s right! And not including me in the act!" Seeing Lin Tian''s demeanor, Guo Rong also felt annoyed. Looking at Lin Tian, his eyes nearly burst with envy. Zhong Jian was startled by Lin Tian''s words, a flash of anger crossing his mind! Arrogant! This kid is too arrogant! Zhong Jian didn''t think he was inferior to Lin Tian; he just believed he was too careless before and that gave Lin Tian an opening. Shrugging his shoulders and twisting his neck, Zhong Jian gave Lin Tian a serious look, "I''d like to see how you''re going to ''handle me in minutes''!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian gestured with a hook of his finger, "Come on!" Narrowing his eyes, Zhong Jian took a quick step forward, bellowed, and swung his fist! Whoosh! Zhong Jian''s punch was both fast and fierce, aimed straight at Lin Tian''s abdomen! His punch was strong and powerful, and Zhong Jian had full confidence in this all-out punch. He might not be able to deliver such a punch again. Slap! A crisp sound followed, and Zhong Jian was taken aback. He looked down at his fist in disbelief. Blocked! Zhong Jian''s seemingly ferocious punch was casually blocked with a palm by Lin Tian. Most importantly, his punch didn''t move Lin Tian''s body in the slightest! How is this possible! Zhong Jian''s eyes bulged, disbelief written all over his face. "Hey!" While Zhong Jian was still in shock, Lin Tian suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance, and shrugged his shoulder. Bam! Then, a huge force entered Zhong Jian''s body, sending him flying backward. Smack! Zhong Jian hit the ground, the severe impact leaving him unable to catch his breath. After a pause, the area erupted with enthusiastic cheers. Especially the girls, all of them staring at Lin Tian with shining eyes. Not just men like to look at women with good figures; women also like men with good physiques. Lin Tian''s physique was undeniably perfect, and most importantly, Lin Tian knew how to fight. Read exclusive adventures at empire So cool! Many girls began to see stars in their eyes while looking at Lin Tian. Glancing at the fallen Zhong Jian, Lin Tian took a step forward, bent down, and extended his hand. By then, Zhong Jian had recovered his composure and, seeing Lin Tian''s outstretched hand, reached out and grasped it firmly. With Lin Tian''s help, Zhong Jian stood up. "You''ve lost, coach!" Lin Tian looked at Zhong Jian with a beaming smile. "Not bad, kid, you''ve got some serious skills!" Zhong Jian patted Lin Tian''s shoulder, his face filled with surprise as he looked at him. "Not too shabby," Lin Tian smiled lightly, nodded slightly, then turned around, bent down to pick up the clothes on the ground, and put them back on. After a glance at Lin Tian, Zhong Jian turned his head to the rest of the class and shouted, "A bet''s a bet; I lost. You guys get a half-hour break!" "Yay!" Excited screams filled the venue. Hearing the noise here, students from other classes curiously looked over to see what had happened. "Lin Tian, you have such a great body, how do you work out?" As soon as they got a break, many girls surrounded Lin Tian, looking at him excitedly. "Just fine, I exercise occasionally!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile to the circle of girls around him. He had never been treated like this before. Of course, taking off his shirt just now was his way of showing off. "Can I... can I touch your muscles?" A girl shyly looked at Lin Tian. As she spoke, her face turned red, and she seemed hardly able to look at Lin Tian. Hearing this, Lin Tian was also taken aback; this girl was quite bold. But after a moment''s pause, Lin Tian responded with a smile, "It''s fine, you can touch, but just a touch!" Lin Tian didn''t mind, and he even enjoyed it. Being amidst all the flowers had once been his dream. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s consent, the girl mustered her courage, reached out her hand, and curiously felt Lin Tian''s muscles through his clothes. Bulging, firm... "So firm!" the girl exclaimed in surprise, her face showing a hint of excitement. "Really? I want to feel too!" Seeing someone lead the way, other girls became bolder, and another girl reached out her hand. "I want to feel as well!" And then another girl came over. In an instant, Lin Tian''s abdomen was covered by the small hands of several girls. Don''t think that only men are lustful; women are too, except they''re usually enveloped by something called restraint. But now, seeing so many people doing it, they naturally didn''t care. Being touched by so many hands was a sensation Lin Tian had never experienced before. Seeing this, Feng Jiabao, who considered himself handsome, felt annoyed. He then shouted in a girlish, coquettish voice, "I want to touch too!" Hearing his weird voice, Lin Tian instantly got goosebumps, and seeing his hands reaching over, Lin Tian quickly slapped them away: "Get lost, no touching!" "Why can they touch!" Feng Jiabao protested! "They''re girls!" Lin Tian gave him a glance. "Nuns get to touch, so why can''t monks!" Feng Jiabao''s eyes bulged, and then he turned to the male students behind him and yelled, "Brothers, go for it!" Several boys then lunged towards Lin Tian, and seeing this, other students also came over to join in the fun. "Damn it!" Lin Tian screamed. In a flash, there was laughter and merrymaking. So the half-hour passed in jest and play. After half an hour, the training resumed. The following week was filled with military training, which was tedious and boring. However, over the course of the week, the students developed a deep friendship with Zhong Jian. Zhong Jian, although strict during training, was actually a very easygoing person in private. At the same time, through a week of being together, the classmates became acquainted with one another. They were at least familiar faces to each other now. A week later, the military training ended. As soon as it was over, Guo Rong let out a big sigh of relief and shouted, "Brothers, let''s get some action!" "Great! Let''s go after dinner!" Feng Jiabao agreed. They were all too tired from a week of military training and hadn''t been to an internet caf¨¦. "Let''s go, eat first, then head over after dinner!" Guo Rong roared. By the time the four of them had finished eating, it was already five in the afternoon. They grabbed their IDs and headed straight for the internet caf¨¦ outside the campus. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As soon as they booted up their computers, the four immediately put on their headphones and went all out. Whoosh whoosh! Lin Tian''s hand moved the mouse with intense focus. Smack! Lin Tian instantly took out an opposing sniper. "Nice shot!" Guo Rong''s shout came from beside him. Lin Tian chuckled, moving his mouse to find the next target, when suddenly, there was a loud bang. The sudden noise startled Lin Tian, and he reflexively took off his headphones, looking up and forward. The startling thud not only attracted Lin Tian''s attention but even drew the attention of everyone in the internet caf¨¦. Lin Tian glanced over and saw seven or eight thugs beating up someone. After a quick look at the person, Lin Tian immediately recognized the student identity of the beaten individual. This person must be from Wu''an University. "Damn! How dare you hit on my girlfriend, I won''t let you off easy!" A youth with a blue dragon tattoo on his arm kicked the student fiercely! His kick sent the student tumbling to the ground! Bang bang! The others also extended their feet and kicked him viciously! Bang! Suddenly, one of them lifted a chair from the internet caf¨¦ and smashed it down hard on the student''s body. Although the student had wanted to fight back, he was quickly struck down. Bang bang, in a flurry of punches and kicks, and in just a few seconds, Lin Tian saw fresh red blood starting to appear on the ground. The injuries to the student were clearly not light. "Stop! Don''t hit anymore!" After a moment of shock, a girl suddenly ran over. Lin Tian glanced at the girl and was taken aback. He recognized her; she was the cashier of this internet caf¨¦. What was she doing running over now? "Keep hitting him, if we don''t teach this kid a lesson, he won''t learn his place!" But nobody paid any attention to the girl. Wang Fangfang saw the boy lying on the ground, blood flowing out, and suddenly panicked. She shouted at the bullies, "Stop hitting him, or I''ll call the police!" "Call the police, call your mom!" Upon hearing this, the already furious man slapped her right away. Smack! With a slap, Wang Fangfang''s face instantly bore a bright red handprint. He coolly surveyed the crowd of onlookers, his face grim as he said, "Whoever meddles, I''ll kill you!" The man''s ominous gaze made everyone flinch. No one dared! Absolutely no one dared to interfere! It was obvious at a glance that the man was not a do-gooder, and with so many of them, intervening was like throwing oneself into a beating, even risking having to pay for one''s own medical expenses if injured. There was simply nobody who bothered! With her hand covering the hot sting of her cheek, Wang Fangfang was close to tears from frustration. Humiliation! She had never been hit in the face before in her entire life! The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. At the same time, she desperately wished someone would stand up and defeat these people, just like in the movies! But that was impossible! She knew that movies were just movies, and reality could never be the same! Feeling wronged, all she could do was cover her cheek, wanting to cry from the injustice. Just then, Lin Tian''s expression paused, and suddenly a synthetic electronic voice echoed in his mind: "Mission: Help Wang Fangfang teach the bullies a lesson. Mission reward: one Supernatural Point." As the mission''s voice echoed, Lin Tian immediately saw a red glow flickering around Wang Fangfang. That was the light of the mission. Chapter 142 Delivering Umbrella Mission Lin Tian was momentarily stunned before quickly regaining his senses, he stepped forward and shouted, "Stop!""Stop!" The sudden voice made everyone pause abruptly. Wang Fangfang, covering her cheeks in shock, looked up in disbelief. Was someone actually standing up for her? Seeing Lin Tian stepping forward, the onlooking students were also taken aback. Upon seeing Lin Tian, these students silently cursed him for being a fool. Who would dare to intervene at such a time if not a fool? Wasn''t he just asking for trouble? Lin Tian''s sudden appearance also startled the attackers slightly; after a pause, two of them with malevolent expressions charged swiftly at Lin Tian. "Mind your own business!" one of them yelled angrily as he threw a punch at Lin Tian''s head. Whoosh! The fist moved swiftly, bringing a burst of air with it. Whoosh! Another person kicked at Lin Tian! Seeing this scene, the spectators shook their heads disapprovingly. To court death is to meet death! Lin Tian was obviously courting death by intervening at this time. However, surprisingly, the next moment made everyone''s jaw drop. Whoosh! Lin Tian casually dodged a punch by tilting his head and immediately threw a punch back! Bang! His solid punch landed squarely on the opponent''s chest, sending him flying backwards. Smack! At the same time, Lin Tian lifted his leg, clashing it against the other person''s kick; instantly, that person felt a tremendous force transmit through his leg, making him involuntarily step back. Bang Bang! He tumbled to the ground, his body crashing into chairs scattered on the floor. "Hmph!" Lin Tian snorted coldly and quickly advanced towards them as they were still dazed. One punch per person! One kick per person! In just a few seconds, people were sprawled across the ground! Done! The bullies, who had been acting mighty just moments ago, were instantly subdued by Lin Tian; they hadn''t even managed to inflict the slightest injury on him. Frozen! Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. They had anticipated a scene where Lin Tian would be beaten up! But, but the reality turned out to be... Unexpected, it was indeed shocking! Clutching her cheek, Wang Fangfang gazed at Lin Tian in disbelief. Someone had really showed up? And just like in the movies, the suddenly appearing hero had defeated the villains! This, was this real? As Wang Fangfang was still stunned, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Task to help Wang Fangfang teach the bullies a lesson is completed, reward: one Supernatural Point." Completed! Upon hearing this notification, a trace of joy flickered across Lin Tian''s eyes. Having completed the task, Lin Tian decided not to linger, so he turned to the onlooking students and said, "Someone call the police, and also, could someone please call an ambulance." After speaking, Lin Tian glanced at his three equally stunned roommates, tilted his head and said, "Let''s go!" As he was leaving, passing by Wang Fangfang, Lin Tian paused and smiled at her, "Be more careful in the future, don''t always jump into situations." Wang Fangfang, still in a daze, watched Lin Tian leave, and even after he had gone, she remained lost in thought. As they walked out of the internet caf¨¦, his roommates looked at Lin Tian in amazement, Feng Jiabao especially, who exclaimed loudly, "Damn! Lin Tian, are you from outer space? That was awesome!" "Exactly, exactly, do you know Martial World secrets? Give me a few books!" Guo Rong also shouted excitedly. "I..." Lin Tian was about to speak, but suddenly, he looked up at the pitch-black sky. Drip-drop! A cold raindrop suddenly fell on Lin Tian''s cheek. Whirrr! Suddenly, a heavy downpour fell from the sky. "Damn, no way, it''s raining now!" The sudden rain elicited surprised shouts from the group. The summer rain came abruptly and was a downpour. "Hurry, let''s take shelter at the security office!" The four of them were close to the school''s security office, so they quickly ran towards it. When the four of them ran into the guardhouse, the rain from the sky intensified, as if someone upstairs had dumped a large bucket of water. "Damn! This rain is so sudden!" After entering the guardhouse, Feng Jiabao continued to complain while shaking his wet clothes. Even though they had run inside, the rain had been so sudden that some of their clothes were still wet. "Yeah, it''s too sudden." Lin Tian looked at the dark sky and was speechless. This rain was too abrupt. "Who knows when it''s going to stop," Lin Tao said, looking at the heavy rain pouring outside. "I don''t think it will stop anytime soon, it''s too heavy!" Guo Rong said helplessly. "I..." Lin Tian was about to say something when suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice rang in his mind: "Super Chain Mission: The third task: Deliver an umbrella to Shen Mengyi hiding from the rain. Task reward: one Supernatural Point. Task penalty: minus two Supernatural Points. Note: This task must be completed within five minutes; failure to do so will result in failure of the task!" "Damn!" Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian suddenly cursed. Such a scam! Asking me to deliver an umbrella in this heavy rain? And within five minutes? What''s the deal? After being stunned for a moment, Lin Tian had no time to complain and immediately asked the guard in the guardhouse if he had an umbrella, to which the answer was no. Having no choice, Lin Tian quickly told his buddies and then hurried outside. "Hey!" Seeing Lin Tian rush out, Feng Jiabao was shocked and reached out to call him, but Lin Tian had disappeared in the blink of an eye. "What is he doing?" Turning his head, Feng Jiabao stared blankly at his two roommates. Lin Tao pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose and said calmly, "He must be crazy!" "Right!" The two roommates nodded in agreement. Unaware of his three roommates bad-mouthing him, Lin Tian was desperately running towards his dormitory at that moment! Huff, huff! Lin Tian was sprinting fast! The rain was so heavy that his clothes were soaked within seconds of stepping outside, but Lin Tian could no longer care about that and just sprinted as fast as he could. It took Lin Tian a minute to reach his dorm and grab an umbrella, and instantly he was off running in the direction where Shen Mengyi was. In Lin Tian''s eyes, a figure flashing red light was ahead, and judging by the location, it seemed to be at the gym. Huff! Holding the umbrella, Lin Tian sprinted through the rainy night, heading towards the gym. At the gym, Shen Mengyi and her roommate Yang Li were standing on the steps taking shelter from the rain. "This rain is just too heavy!" Yang Li said, looking at the pouring rain outside. "Yeah, so sudden!" Shen Mengyi also looked a bit helpless. "Who knows when it will stop," Yang Li said, lying back and looking at the dark sky. "It might take a while," Shen Mengyi said, listening to the pitter-patter sounds of the raindrops nearby. "If someone would bring us an umbrella now, that would be great," Yang Li said hopefully. "How could that happen!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes and said, "With such heavy rain, no one would come to deliver an umbrella, and even if someone was willing, it''s too much to ask. They would also get soaked." "Maybe someone sees that the beauty of Shen University needs an umbrella, and they might brave the rain to bring it!" Yang Li teased Shen Mengyi with a giggle. "Stop talking nonsense, it''s impossible!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes again. "Eh? Look, what''s that?" Suddenly, Yang Li pointed ahead in surprise. Following the direction of Yang Li''s finger, Shen Mengyi looked and, aided by some dim street lamps, soon saw a person sprinting fast in the rain, seemingly coming their way. "What is he doing? Why doesn''t he take shelter from the rain?" Yang Li also saw the man running through the rain. "He probably couldn''t find shelter in time! The rain was too sudden!" Shen Mengyi guessed. The man was fast, and in a blink of an eye, aided by the dim streetlights, they could see more clearly as Lin Tian ran closer, and they suddenly saw the umbrella in Lin Tian''s hand. Seeing the umbrella in Lin Tian''s hand left them both stunned. Huff, huff! At that moment, Lin Tian was sprinting towards Shen Mengyi! Seeing Lin Tian rushing over, Yang Li was stunned; she turned her head to look at Shen Mengyi, wondering if it was really happening... Lin Tian was fast, and before Yang Li could react, Lin Tian had already run up to them. Huff, huff! Gasping for breath and taking a moment to rest, Lin Tian looked at the dazed Shen Mengyi, extended his hand with the drenched umbrella and said, "Here, for you!" Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian, soaked to the skin like a drowned rat, and was too stunned to move. Drip, drip! Droplets of rain left on the umbrella started to fall to the ground. The scene was silent, except for the sound of the falling rain. S~ea??h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After a pause, Yang Li suddenly exclaimed, "My god, someone really did come to bring an umbrella?" She was truly astonished! Continue reading stories on empire Astonished, Shen Mengyi subconsciously accepted the umbrella, then looked somewhat dazedly at Lin Tian and managed, "You... " Just as Shen Mengyi took the umbrella, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super Chain Mission: The third task of delivering an umbrella to Shen Mengyi is completed. Task reward: one Supernatural Point." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief. "Whew!" He breathed out deeply and, looking at the somewhat stunned Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian joked, "So, beauty, are you touched? How about a kiss then?" With that, Lin Tian cheekily moved his face closer. Chapter 143 Who Still Eats Candy! "What''s wrong, beauty? Moved by my gesture? Then how about a kiss?" Saying that, Lin Tian approached with a grin on his face.Shen Mengyi had been genuinely touched, but seeing Lin Tian''s smug expression, her moment of sentimentality disappeared, and with an irritated expression, she pushed his face away, snapping, "Get lost!" "Uh..." Lin Tian''s face was pushed away, leaving him speechless. He gave her a glance and pouted, "That''s no way to treat someone!" With a helpless shake of his head and a shrug, Lin Tian said with resignation, "Alright then, if the goddess doesn''t appreciate it, I''ll just let it be!" With that, Lin Tian turned around and ran off into the rainy night. The rain poured down outside, and Lin Tian just dashed into it, instantly disappearing from view. "You..." Shen Mengyi was startled, reaching out as if to say something, but Lin Tian was too fast and vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving her hand frozen mid-air, her face in a daze. After a moment of stunned silence, Yang Li reacted, looking at Shen Mengyi with an exaggerated expression and exclaimed, "Wow, Mengyi, could this be true love? Braving the wind and the rain for you, and then leaving without expecting anything in return! That''s just too dramatic. "Stop it, you''re making a fuss over nothing!" Shen Mengyi shot her a look before turning back to gaze at the driving rain outside. Looking at where Lin Tian had disappeared, a glimmer of confusion flashed in Shen Mengyi''s eyes. How did he know I was here? And he even came over in such heavy rain to bring an umbrella... At that moment, Shen Mengyi truly felt perplexed, and at the same time, her heart began to feel a touch of fondness for Lin Tian. Her previous dislike for Lin Tian''s cheeky demeanor didn''t seem so strong anymore. This strategy would likely touch any girl''s heart, and even if it didn''t, it would still leave a positive impression. Meanwhile, Lin Tian didn''t have time to ponder over what Shen Mengyi might be thinking. He was just running desperately back to his dorm. There was no helping it; the rain was too heavy, soaking him through. It was best to get back to the dorm and change clothes quickly. Back in the dorm, Lin Tian changed out of his wet clothes in a flash and took a quick shower. After he had showered and dressed, he realized that the rain had suddenly stopped outside. Looking at the rain that had stopped as abruptly as it started, Lin Tian was at a loss for words: "This rain came suddenly and left just as suddenly. Typical summer weather; changeable at a moment''s notice." After changing clothes and watching TV for a while, Lin Tian''s three roommates returned. As soon as they arrived, they surrounded Lin Tian. Guo Rong''s small eyes widened as much as they could, and he looked at Lin Tian in amazement, "Lin Tian, what was that about? Have you gone mad?" Giving him a disdainful look, Lin Tian responded indifferently, "What do you know? I was off winning the heart of a goddess!" "Come on, cut it out, what exactly happened?" Feng Jiabao yelled. Lin Tian gave them a bored glance, not deigning to respond¡­ And so amid their playful banter and teasing, the day passed, and night fell, with everyone eventually drifting off to sleep. Lying in bed, Lin Tian immersed his consciousness into his Sea of Consciousness. As his awareness entered the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian immediately set his gaze upon the droplets of golden Supernatural Points floating above. "One, two..." Counting them, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "Ten! Finally gathered ten Supernatural Points." After so long, Lin Tian had finally amassed another ten Supernatural Points. Ten Supernatural Points marked an important milestone in the Supernatural Ability System. With ten Supernatural Points, Lin Tian could create a brand new superpower or, by spending ten points, he could upgrade one of his existing abilities. Currently, all of Lin Tian''s abilities were at their lowest level, but he intended to eventually upgrade all of them to high-level. However, this time Lin Tian didn''t want to use those ten Supernatural Points to create a new ability, nor did he want to upgrade his existing ones. He intended to exchange one of his existing superpowers. With that thought, Lin Tian immediately summoned the Supernatural Ability menu. His eyes swept over the menu and came to rest on one particular superpower: "Level 1 Flight (Can fly up to 100 meters high, at a maximum speed of 20m/s). Requires ten Supernatural Points to exchange." Flight! That was the ability Lin Tian had longed for. Truth be told, Lin Tian had wanted to exchange for this ability from the very beginning, but never had the opportunity. But now, he finally had his chance. Flight! It had always been Lin Tian''s dream. And this wasn''t the pathetic Levitation Technique that could only hover and not truly fly. He glanced at the superpower and without a moment''s hesitation, went for the exchange. As Lin Tian''s mind moved, the ten golden Supernatural Points floating in his Sea of Consciousness disappeared. At the same time, he felt a warm current surge through his body, quickly vanishing. Lin Tian knew he had successfully exchanged his superpower. After lying in bed for a while, unable to contain his excitement, Lin Tian got up and left the dorm room. He made sure no one was around at the dorm staircase before activating his thought, and instantly became invisible. With invisibility in place, Lin Tian glanced at the window in front of him and commanded with his mind. Fly! Whoosh! Lin Tian''s body suddenly took to the air! Swoosh! Like a cannonball being fired, he flew out of the window with a whoosh. Initially, Lin Tian wasn''t very adept at controlling his flight, but he quickly got the hang of it. Turning, flying backward, 360-degree rotations, diving, making sharp turns¡ªhe tried every trick! Whoosh, whoosh! Because of the high speed, his clothes rustled loudly, and gusts of cold wind brushed against Lin Tian''s skin. The air was refreshingly clear after the rain. Lin Tian lifted his head, closed his eyes, spread his arms, and soared upwards... He thoroughly enjoyed the rush of flying at high speed! An entire hour later, Lin Tian finally returned to the dormitory. Even so, when Lin Tian came back, there was still some excitement on his face. Flying, so cool! With a heart full of excitement, Lin Tian fell into a deep slumber. There were no further conversations that night. The next day, Lin Tian got up at 7:30 a.m. It was the first day of classes, and although it was still early, Lin Tian didn''t want to be late. As soon as he got up, Lin Tian shouted, "Wake up!" Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao both got up groggily. Meanwhile, the hefty Guo Rong was still fast asleep, snoring loudly. "Sleeping demon, wake up!" Lin Tian glanced at him and shouted loudly. "Huh hm~!" In response to Lin Tian, rhythmic snores came back in answer. "Forget it, don''t call him. He won''t wake up now!" Lin Tao said, yawning and getting out of bed. Lin Tian helplessly shook his head after giving Guo Rong another speechless glance. The following five days were spent going to classes. During these five days, Lin Tian''s life was very peaceful. Lin Tian didn''t receive any tasks this week, and his days went by calmly. However, each night he would secretly go out to practice his flying ability. He really enjoyed the thrill of flying. Before he knew it, five days had passed, and tomorrow was Saturday, a school holiday. As soon as classes ended, Guo Rong returned to the dormitory and exclaimed, "We have a holiday tomorrow! By the way, guys, shall we go play League of Legends tomorrow?" "I''m down!" Feng Jiabao nodded indifferently. "I don''t mind," said Lin Tao nonchalantly. "Uh..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian also nodded, "Sure, let''s go." Originally, Lin Tian planned to hang out with Bu Mengting today, but she had gone back to the city. Hence, with nothing else to do, he didn''t mind either. On Saturday, the four of them spent the whole day playing video games at the internet caf¨¦. The next day, before even getting out of bed, Lin Tian heard his cellphone ring. "Hello?" Lin Tian answered the phone, still half-asleep. "Big dummy, wake up!" As soon as the call connected, Li Xiaomeng''s shrieking voice came through. "Uh..." Lin Tian was taken aback, confusion flashing in his eyes. After a pause, he said, "Xiaomeng?" "Yes, hurry up and get out of bed. I''m about to visit your dormitory!" Li Xiaomeng exclaimed from the other end of the line. "What? You''re coming over?" Lin Tian was caught off guard. "What, you''re not welcoming me? Do you need to be taught a lesson?" Li Xiaomeng''s snort was heard through the phone. Hearing this, Lin Tian broke out into a cold sweat on his forehead and awkwardly chuckled, "Not at all, not at all! Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome." "Then get up quickly. I''ll be there soon, hmph! Sister, wait for me." After saying that, Li Xiaomeng''s voice could be heard calling someone before the call ended with a click. Looking at the disconnected call, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly with a speechless expression, "Why has this little ancestor come now?" Helplessly putting down his phone, Lin Tian got up and seeing his three roommates still asleep, he yelled, "Everyone, get up! We have a beauty coming to visit our dorm!" "Who, who? Where''s the beauty?" Surprisingly, upon hearing this, Guo Rong instantly got up, his eyes wide open. "Uh..." Seeing this, Lin Tian was stunned. This is illogical! The big guy actually woke up? "Sleeping demon, did you take the wrong pills today?" Lin Tian asked, still somewhat dazed as he looked at him. "Beauty? Where''s the beauty? No beauty, I''m going back to sleep!" Guo Rong looked around groggily for a moment before promptly returning to his slumber. "..." Lin Tian was at a loss for words. After a moment of bewilderment, Lin Tian woke up the others. Upon hearing that Bu Mengting would be visiting, all four of them tidied up the dorm, cleaning up the mess. They hid away instant noodle cups, stinky socks, underwear, and everything else. After tidying up and washing up, not long after, Bu Mengting arrived with Li Xiaomeng in tow. That''s how it was in school: it was easy for girls to enter boys'' dorms, but for boys to enter girls'' dorms, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. After glancing around Lin Tian''s dorm, Bu Mengting showed a sweet smile, "Your dorm is quite clean, isn''t it!" "Not at all, not at all, it''s just okay!" Lin Tian replied with an embarrassed smile. "Sis-in-law is here, welcome, welcome!" Guo Rong greeted Bu Mengting with a wide smile. "Hey! Haha!" Suddenly, Li Xiaomeng popped out from behind Bu Mengting, with a triumphant laugh. "Huh?" Stunned for a moment, Guo Rong stared at Li Xiaomeng somewhat blankly. Li Xiaomeng ignored Guo Rong and grinned at Lin Tian, "Brother-in-law, did you miss me?" "Miss you? Of course, I did!" Lin Tian wouldn''t dare say otherwise. Then Bu Mengting and Li Xiaomeng sat down in Lin Tian''s dorm to chat. However, Li Xiaomeng wasn''t the quiet type ¨C she hopped around everywhere. What Lin Tian didn''t know was that since Li Xiaomeng''s arrival, Guo Rong had been distracted, sneakily eying Li Xiaomeng with an infatuated gaze. "I''m going out for a walk!" Feeling bored, Li Xiaomeng soon left the dorm. Lin Tian didn''t pay much attention to her departure. Watching Li Xiaomeng go out, Guo Rong hesitated before taking a lollipop he had bought the day before from his drawer. After thinking it over, he followed her out. After exiting the dorm, Guo Rong looked around and called out to Li Xiaomeng. "What is it?" Li Xiaomeng glanced up at the tall, hefty guy. "I¡ªI want to offer you some candy!" Guo Rong said, nervously and shyly handing over the lollipop he was holding to Li Xiaomeng. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Looking at the lollipop handed to her, Li Xiaomeng was taken aback for a moment. Chapter 144 Seven Hundred "A whole night for 700?" Guo Rong looked somewhat foolishly at Li Xiaomeng."Of course!" Li Xiaomeng tossed her head, her face full of disdain, "So, tell me, do you want it or not!" "Really... really?" Guo Rong looked at Li Xiaomeng with a stunned expression, still struggling to accept the reality. "You are so annoying, just decide already, otherwise forget it! I''m leaving!" With a turn of her head and a disdainful glance at Guo Rong, Li Xiaomeng walked away. As he watched Li Xiaomeng turn to leave, Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out and called out, "Really, really a whole night for 700?" As he spoke, Guo Rong eyed Li Xiaomeng up and down with disbelief. He couldn''t believe such an innocent-looking girl could actually say such things. "Of course, old man, you''re out of touch!" Li Xiaomeng sized up Guo Rong in return, her lips curling into a disdainful smile, "You don''t even have 700, do you!" "No, I do!" Guo Rong''s face turned red and he spoke somewhat nervously and hurriedly. He couldn''t relax in front of Li Xiaomeng. Taking a deep breath, Guo Rong gritted his teeth, "It really can be done..." "First, give me the money!" Li Xiaomeng shook her foot, her thumb and index finger rubbing together clearly indicating her meaning. "What if someone finds out?" Although he really wanted it, Guo Rong hesitated at that moment. "What''s there to be afraid of? If you don''t tell and I don''t tell, who would know! It''s not my first time doing this!" Li Xiaomeng gave Guo Rong a disdainful glare, looking at him as if he were a country bumpkin. Not... not her first time? Hearing this, Guo Rong was shocked again. Damn, are kids these days so open? After a moment''s pause, looking at Li Xiaomeng''s petite body, Guo Rong''s heart swayed once more, consoling himself, "No big deal, no big deal, it''s not my first time either, no big deal!" After reassuring himself, Guo Rong felt much calmer and then said to Li Xiaomeng, "Then let''s go..." "First, give me the money, then we can get a room!" Li Xiaomeng cut him off impatiently. "Right now?" Guo Rong was startled. "What did you think?" Li Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at him and said exasperated, "I have class tomorrow, I don''t have much time!" "Well, okay then! But those guys..." Guo Rong gestured towards Lin Tian and the others in the dorm. "No worries, I can handle that, just pay the money!" Li Xiaomeng confidently said. "Alright then." By that time, Guo Rong was spellbound by lust, no longer thinking too much. Back in the dormitory, Li Xiaomeng shouted, "I''m gonna show this chubby big brother around the school, be back later!" "Huh?" Lin Tian glanced at Li Xiaomeng, noticing a sly sparkle in her large eyes, as if she was plotting something. But Lin Tian didn''t care much, knowing that Li Xiaomeng was never one to stay quiet. He didn''t think too much about it. The others didn''t object either. So, Guo Rong and Li Xiaomeng left the dormitory together and headed for the school''s ATM. Standing in front of the ATM with his bank card, Guo Rong suddenly hesitated. 700 was nearly half his monthly food expenses. This... But the thought of Li Xiaomeng''s graceful body made his heart surge with heat. He gritted his teeth and withdrew 800. Leaving a hundred to pay for the room. He pulled out the money and handed 700 to Li Xiaomeng with some trepidation, asking, "Are we really doing this?" With a gleeful smile, Li Xiaomeng took the 700 and looked up with impatience, "Let''s get a move on, we''re on a tight schedule, there should be a motel around here, right?" "Uh-huh!" Completely overshadowed by Li Xiaomeng''s presence, Guo Rong nodded subconsciously. "Okay, then let''s go!" Immediately, the two of them walked out of the school gate and then Guo Rong headed to a small motel outside the school. Looking at the somewhat shabby motel, Li Xiaomeng stood with her hands behind her back, eyeing the man in front of her, "You go check in. Once you''ve got a room, come out and call me, and we''ll go up separately." Feeling that Li Xiaomeng''s plan made sense, Guo Rong went to check in alone. After checking in and coming out, Guo Rong informed Li Xiaomeng and then entered alone. Watching the man go inside, a sly smile appeared on Li Xiaomeng''s face. Once Guo Rong was completely out of sight, Li Xiaomeng turned around smilingly, as she walked back to the school she took out seven hundred-dollar bills from her pocket, counting gleefully, "700 huh, that''s enough to buy a lot of chips!" Thinking of Guo Rong, Li Xiaomeng spat disdainfully, "Stupid fatso, dare to scheme against me, I won''t let you off easy! Hmph!" "La la! La la la, I am the little artist who sells newspapers..." Singing along, Li Xiaomeng bounced and ran back to the school. Meanwhile, Guo Rong had already entered the room. As soon as he entered, Guo Rong became surprisingly nervous. At that moment, he suddenly became frightened. "Is this, is this okay? She''s still young!" Guo Rong paced back and forth, agitated and uneasy. "It''s okay, it''s okay, didn''t she say it''s not her first time. I should be alright too!" Guo Rong comforted himself. "But, but it seems she''s close with Lin Tian, what if, what if..." Thinking of Lin Tian crushing wood into sawdust, Guo Rong shivered. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Maybe, maybe I shouldn''t..." Thinking of Lin Tian caused Guo Rong to second-guess himself, and just as he was about to open the door to leave, but the moment he touched the doorknob, he hesitated again, muttering to himself, "But, but Xiaomeng is so cute, those legs, that chest, those eyes, those lips. So, so beautiful..." Thinking of this, Guo Rong actually gulped... While Guo Rong was conflicted, Li Xiaomeng had already bought a bag of chips and was bouncing joyfully back to her dormitory. Seeing Li Xiaomeng running in with a bag of chips, Lin Tian glanced at her curiously, "Where did you get the money for the chips? Hm? Where''s Sleepy? I haven''t seen him," he said, looking past Li Xiaomeng. "Come here! Come over!" Li Xiaomeng beckoned Lin Tian sneakily. "What''s up?" He looked at her curiously, and then walked over. Bu Mengting had already gone back to the dormitory, while Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao were playing video games on the computer. "Come closer, I''ll tell you!" Li Xiaomeng said, holding the chips, seemingly secretive. Lin Tian looked at her puzzledly, then bent down to bring his ear closer. "I''ll tell you..." Li Xiaomeng whispered into Lin Tian''s ear. As he listened to Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian''s eyes widened more and more, and finally, a flash of anger crossed Lin Tian''s eyes, As he stood up, Lin Tian was about to say something when suddenly, he hesitated. Ding! An electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind... Chapter 145 Scare "Ding!"Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, a synthesized electronic voice rang out in his mind, "Mission: Help Li Xiaomeng scare Guo Rong! Mission Reward: One Superpower Point." As this voice sounded, Li Xiaomeng''s voice also reached Lin Tian''s ears, "Brother-in-law, help me scare this fatso. He actually dared to hit on me! Humph!" While speaking, Li Xiaomeng popped another chip into her mouth, crunching loudly. "Uh..." Looking at the displeased Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian was at a loss for words. For some reason, his initial anger had dissipated. Playing this game with this kid, Guo Rong was really courting death. Despite that, Lin Tian still didn''t plan to let him off, damn it, he actually dared to make a move on Xiaomeng. I haven''t even anything, that''s just beastly! Lin Tian thought fiercely. "What do you think? Helping me to scare him won''t be a problem, right?" Li Xiaomeng said, still crunching chips in her mouth, sounding somewhat indignant. As she spoke, she stuffed another chip into her mouth. "No problem, leave it to me!" Lin Tian agreed immediately. Soon, the two of them walked towards the small motel where Guo Rong had rented a room. Meanwhile, Guo Rong was still hesitating and conflicted. Guo Rong paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself, "Is this really honorable?" "It shouldn''t be, right?" "But, but she''s still a little girl, and she''s Lin Tian''s sister." "What''s the big deal, it''s nothing!" "But, but I am an honest fat man, how could I do such a thing?" "Really can''t I?" "Really can I?" ... After much hesitation and conflict, Guo Rong finally made up his mind... not happening! He couldn''t bear the torment inside. As Guo Rong opened the room door and started walking downstairs, he muttered to himself, "Yeah, tell Xiaomeng, I''m not coming, ask her to return the money, that should be fine." Muttering to himself, Guo Rong walked downstairs. Arriving outside the motel, Guo Rong was stunned! She was gone, Li Xiaomeng was gone. Seeing this, Guo Rong finally panicked, "She ran away, didn''t she tell Lin Tian?" At this thought, Guo Rong''s mind became chaotic. "Huh!" Taking a deep breath, Guo Rong dialed Lin Tian''s number nervously. On the other side, Lin Tian, who was rushing to the motel with Li Xiaomeng, suddenly felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled out the phone and was taken aback. It was Guo Rong calling! Still daring to call? Lin Tian snorted coldly and picked up the phone. As soon as the call connected, Guo Rong''s nervous and awkward voice came through, "Uh... uh, Lin Tian, did Xiaomeng go back?" "Her?" Glancing at Li Xiaomeng, who was continuously popping chips into her mouth, Lin Tian smiled and said, "She''s right here with me." "Ah?" Hearing this response, Guo Rong was again taken aback. After a moment of hesitation, he stammered, "Uh... Uh, I was just joking with Xiaomeng earlier, uh... " "Alright, no need to say more, we''ll talk later." With that, Lin Tian promptly hung up. At that moment, Lin Tian was already in front of the small motel. Seeing Lin Tian ending the call, Li Xiaomeng curiously glanced at him, "That fatso called!" "Right!" Lin Tian nodded. "He still dared to call!" Li Xiaomeng pouted, then her eyes twinkled mischievously as she looked at Lin Tian, "Brother-in-law, how are you going to scare him?" "What do you think? You''ll find out soon!" Lin Tian revealed a wicked smile. Seeing the phone suddenly hang up, Guo Rong stood with the phone in his hand, dumbfounded. Stunned for a moment, as Guo Rong was wondering what to do, suddenly, his body stiffened, and his small eyes widened as much as they could. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian! He saw Lin Tian approaching quickly with Li Xiaomeng. "This, this..." Seeing this, Guo Rong was dumbfounded. Lin Tian moved quickly and reached Guo Rong before he could react. As soon as he reached Guo Rong, Lin Tian grabbed his chubby arm and pulled him into the motel, "Come on, let''s go inside and talk." As he pulled him in, Lin Tian turned to Li Xiaomeng, "Which room did he book?" "201!" Immediately, Lin Tian pulled Guo Rong''s arm towards room 201. "Ah? Lin Tian, what, what are you doing?" After a moment of shock, Guo Rong cried out urgently. He backpedaled, not wanting to go inside. But Lin Tian''s strength was not something he could resist, and Lin Tian easily pulled him inside. Entering room 201, as soon as they got inside, Lin Tian immediately locked the door. After locking the door, Lin Tian turned around and looked at Guo Rong with a cold face, angrily saying, "Well, you fatso, I thought of you as a brother, and you dared to do such a thing!" "No, no, I didn''t mean it!" Guo Rong said hurriedly. "Didn''t mean it? Too late!" Lin Tian looked at him coldly, then extended his hand and snapped his wrist, ready to throw a punch. "You, listen to me!" Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Guo Rong stumbled backward and eventually fell back onto the bed, trapped. Seeing Lin Tian advancing step by step, Guo Rong was close to tears, pleadingly looking at Lin Tian, "You, don''t hit me, I''m afraid of pain, I''ll do anything you want!" "Really?" Hearing this, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks. Lin Tian had merely intended to scare Guo Rong, but he hadn''t expected him to be so cowardly. "Disgusting, hurry and put his pants on!" At this point, Li Xiaomeng turned away, speaking in disgust. Lin Tian chuckled and promptly helped Guo Rong put on his pants. Chapter 146 Watch Me Skim on Water with Qinggong "All right!" After helping Guo Rong get dressed, Lin Tian chuckled.Turning her head, Li Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, "I''ve realized you''re quite evil!" "Well, didn''t you say we should just scare him a bit?" Lin Tian grinned. "What do we do now? He''s not hurt, is he?" Li Xiaomeng immediately looked at Guo Rong, who was lying motionless on the bed, with some apprehension. "No worries, he just fainted because he''s too cowardly!" Lin Tian shrugged. Lin Tian realized that Guo Rong was just a cowardly fatty and even given another chance, he probably wouldn''t dare to do anything to Li Xiaomeng. Additionally, the fact that he had taken the initiative to call them made Lin Tian somewhat angry, but he decided not to hold it against Guo Rong too much. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian had seen right through him; he was just a cowardly fatty with lust in his heart but no courage to act on it. And on top of that, a lolicon. "So, what do we do now?" Glancing at the motionless Guo Rong lying on the bed, Li Xiaomeng asked, frowning. "Hmm..." Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, suddenly, he paused as a synthesized electronic voice echoed in his mind, "Task to help Li Xiaomeng scare Guo Rong has been completed, rewarding one Supernatural Point." "Hey, what are you spacing out for?" Li Xiaomeng''s discontented voice came as Lin Tian''s consciousness was immersed in the Sea of Consciousness. "Huh?" Lin Tian came back to his senses and asked, "What did you say?" "I asked what are we going to do next?" Li Xiaomeng glared at Lin Tian. "Now? Just wake him up." Saying so, Lin Tian went to the bathroom and filled a cup with water. Read exclusive content at empire With the cup in hand, Lin Tian stepped up to Guo Rong and splashed the water directly onto his face. "Ah! No!" As soon as the water splashed over, Guo Rong shouted instantly, his hands tightly covering his bottom. "Huh?" Guo Rong noticed he was already dressed. "Could it be..." Thinking of some terrible possibility, Guo Rong was almost in tears. My first time... Seeing the look of despair on Guo Rong''s face, Lin Tian was speechless and said helplessly, "Come on, we just scared you!" "Huh?" Guo Rong was stunned, then he looked up at Lin Tian incredulously, "Really?" Rolling his eyes at him, Lin Tian said somewhat speechlessly, "What do you think, I don''t have weird preferences!" "That''s good, that''s good!" Guo Rong let out a sigh of relief. Lin Tian looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice, "You big demon, you dared to do something like that." "I, I didn''t mean to, I... I realized later, wouldn''t dare even if you lent me ten times the courage!" Guo Rong said with a bitter face. "Hmph! I think you just lack discipline!" Li Xiaomeng said, looking up at Guo Rong. "Let me tell you..." Then the two of them lectured and frightened Guo Rong, who could only agree with everything they said. Seeing that Guo Rong wasn''t a bad person at heart, and considering that Li Xiaomeng had also played a part in enticing him, Lin Tian didn''t do anything to him. Half an hour later, the three of them left the small hotel. On the way back to school, Guo Rong kept his head down. After some distance, he hesitated, then, finally looking at Li Xiaomeng, he said, "Uh... could you please return that 700 to me?" "What? You still need to be disciplined?" Li Xiaomeng glared. Made speechless by Li Xiaomeng''s glare, Guo Rong quickly lowered his head, saying timidly, "What about a hundred then?" "What did you say?" Li Xiaomeng stood with hands on hips, glaring again. Muttering to himself, Guo Rong did not dare look at Li Xiaomeng, only quietly complaining, "Really, not even giving me a hundred... " Following behind, Lin Tian watched this scene wordlessly. Lin Tian noticed that after this incident, Guo Rong was completely subdued by Li Xiaomeng. Cowardly, lecherous, and yet with a hint of kindness¡ªthis was Lin Tian''s assessment of Guo Rong. It was also for this reason that Lin Tian let him off the hook, knowing that someone with Guo Rong''s personality wouldn''t do anything too outrageous. Amidst the noise and chatter, the three returned to Lin Tian''s dormitory. As soon as they got back to the dorm, Li Xiaomeng shouted, "You sleepy demon, get me a glass of water! I''m dying of thirst!" They had bought another bag of chips on the way, and now her mouth was utterly dry. "Oh, sure!" Stunned for a moment, Guo Rong scurried off to fetch water, the epitome of a trained servant. "Not your cup, I want my brother-in-law''s!" Seeing Guo Rong about to use his own cup to get water, Li Xiaomeng shouted right away. "Ah? Oh!" Startled, Guo Rong then took Lin Tian''s cup instead. Feng Jiabao and Lin Tao looked at the two bewilderedly, feeling that something had happened between Guo Rong and Li Xiaomeng. Noticing the puzzled looks in their eyes, Lin Tian chose not to say anything. There was no need to spill the details of what had happened. Time flew, and soon it was noon. At lunchtime, Li Xiaomeng didn''t join Lin Tian and the others; instead, she ate with Bu Mengting and her friends. After lunch, while the roommates were wondering what to do, Lin Tian saw his phone vibrating on the table. Picking up the phone, Lin Tian saw that it was a call from Bu Mengting. "Hello? Ah? Oh!" Holding the phone, Lin Tian asked his dorm mates, "Mengting called, she''s asking if you guys want to join them to play cards this afternoon!" "What? Yeah, sure!" Feng Jiabao''s eyes lit up immediately at the mention of girls. Hearing there were beauties, Guo Rong''s eyes also sparkled, and he opened his mouth to say something, but then he thought of Li Xiaomeng and promptly shut it. "Should be fine, we don''t have anything else to do," Lin Tao said after thinking for a moment and nodded. Chapter 146 Watch Me Skim on Water with Qinggong_2 "All right!" Lin Tian nodded directly, then spoke into the phone, "No problem, when? Okay, 2:30."After saying that, Lin Tian hung up the call. Lin Tian didn''t ask for Guo Rong''s opinion... He was still at fault, Lin Tian indicated that there was no room for him to speak now. In the afternoon, the four of them arrived at the grassy area underneath the laboratory building. When the group arrived, they found that Bu Mengting and her friends were already there. Upon seeing the girls, Feng Jiabao''s eyes brightened instantly, he affected a casual air by flicking his hair, and then walked over with an amorous look on his face. ... "One against two!" "Beat them, a pair of main cards!" Half an hour later, sounds of card playing could be heard from the lawn. "Ah~ So relaxing!" Lin Tian yawned comfortably and lazily stretched himself. At that moment, Lin Tian was lying on the grass, his face covered with a book titled "Fundamentals of Chinese Medicine." "Stop moving around!" As Lin Tian stretched, an irritated voice came from below. Picking up the book, Lin Tian glanced down and was speechless. At the time, Li Xiaomeng was resting her head on Lin Tian''s stomach, holding a mobile phone without knowing what she was looking at. After giving her a glance, Lin Tian ignored her. Squinting his eyes, he once again opened the book and placed it over his head. "So comfortable..." Lin Tian thought with a face full of satisfaction. Wu''an University had a good environment. The spot Lin Tian and his friends had chosen was also very good. Find more chapters on empire Beneath them was a soft lawn, above them were large trees that appropriately blocked most of the sunlight, and in front of them was the school''s Lotus Pond artificial lake. The location was neither too hot nor too cold, and occasionally a gentle breeze blew by, which was really pleasant. The environment was so good that Lin Tian had no desire to play cards and prepared to take a nap there. "So refreshing!" Exclaiming with satisfaction, Lin Tian twisted his body with a relieved expression. "Stop moving around!" Li Xiaomeng''s unsatisfied voice came again from beside his ear. Removing the book from his head, Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaomeng helplessly, "Can you not put your head here?" "I want to, I like it!" Li Xiaomeng rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and pouted her lips. "Speechless..." Lin Tian shook his head helplessly, then glanced at the mobile phone in her hand and asked, "What are you watching?" "Watching a video!" Li Xiaomeng, with her head resting on Lin Tian''s stomach, replied without looking back. After a while, Li Xiaomeng suddenly turned her head to Lin Tian, "Brother-in-law, can I ask you for something?" "What?" Lin Tian suddenly had a bad feeling. "I just saw a video of a Shaolin monk performing Light Art Skimming on Water, and it was so exciting. Can you perform it for me too?" Li Xiaomeng sat up, took the book off Lin Tian''s head, knelt on the ground, and looked at him with a grin. "Uhm..." Lin Tian was taken aback. Skimming on Water? That was naturally no problem. Lin Tian, who had exchanged for the Flight Ability, could definitely do it. Not just performing Skimming on Water, but even flying over it was possible. But, Lin Tian would not agree to do it. Because his life principle was to be low-profile but luxurious. The so-called low-profile was to not stand out if it wasn''t necessary. But if it was necessary to stand out, then it had to be done flamboyantly... To leave everyone astounded. And now... Without a task, Lin Tian naturally didn''t want to stand out; it was better to keep a low profile. Thinking this, Lin Tian reached out and took the book from Li Xiaomeng''s hands, covered his head with it again, and said in a muffled voice, "I can''t do it." "Hey, are you asking for a lesson?" Seeing Lin Tian''s direct refusal, Li Xiaomeng frowned discontentedly, removing the book from his hands and glaring. Lin Tian sat up, looking somewhat helplessly at Li Xiaomeng, "Miss, I really can''t do it. Besides, this Skimming on Water you talk about involves wooden boards under the surface, and we don''t have any wooden boards here." "I don''t care! You have to perform it for me, I know you can do it!" Li Xiaomeng pouted at Lin Tian. She still remembered the event not long ago when Lin Tian caused the peach blossoms in the garden to bloom. Since then, there was a kind of blind belief in her heart that there was nothing Lin Tian couldn''t do. "The problem is I really can''t!" Lin Tian looked at her helplessly. "Humph! You jerk!" Li Xiaomeng pouted as she looked at him. Despite being angry, despite appearing very willful, Li Xiaomeng still looked incredibly adorable. Seeing Li Xiaomeng''s cute demeanor, a male classmate playing cards on the grass nearby laughed and said, "Little sister, do you want me to perform something for you?" "You can?" Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened as she looked at him. "Of course!" The man chuckled, then stood up and shouted, "Skimming on Water!" "Wow! Wow!" he exclaimed, starting to gesticulate wildly. Silently giving him a disdainful look, Li Xiaomeng let out a contemptuous snort, "Can''t you stop making a fool of yourself?" "Uh..." Embarrassed by the young girl''s scorn, the man felt awkward. "Haha, exactly, Old Pig, can''t you stop clowning around, huh!" His companions also burst into laughter at the sight. "Damn, why don''t you guys try!" Feeling slighted, the man glanced irritably at the other students. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "None of you can do it, but my brother-in-law can!" Seeing this scene, Li Xiaomeng lifted her little head with some pride. Lin Tian''s mouth corner twitched unconsciously, his expression somewhat helpless. Sister, can you please not praise me so much. And hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, the group gave Lin Tian a look and then burst into laughter, saying, "Then why don''t you have him perform!" "Yeah, really, have him put on a show!" "I bet a pack of spicy sticks! I bet he can''t do it!" "You''re too stingy, I bet two packs!" "I bet a jar of fermented tofu!" The group then started joking around. Their voices attracted the attention of the people around them, and Bu Mengting, who was playing cards, also looked over curiously. "You guys..." Seeing their skeptical looks, Li Xiaomeng got a bit irritated and then turned to Lin Tian, "You big dummy, are you going to perform or not? If you don''t, you''re gonna be in trouble! Humph!" "Uh..." Lin Tian was startled, about to say something, when suddenly, his body stiffened, and a synthetic electronic voice echoed in his mind, "Task: Fulfill Li Xiaomeng''s wish and successfully perform Skimming on Water. Task completion reward: one Supernatural Point." Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian froze for a moment. A task had actually appeared. It seemed he had no choice but to perform. With that thought, Lin Tian stood up, twisted his body a bit, and said with all seriousness, "Since everyone is so encouraging, I will show you the secret skill passed down in my family." Seeing Lin Tian''s serious demeanor, everyone froze and turned their gazes toward him. Even the card players like Bu Mengting looked on. People who didn''t know what was going on also looked over curiously, asking for details. After twisting his body from side to side, Lin Tian shouted and took a step toward Lotus Pond, yelling, "Hey, watch my Qinggong Skimming on Water!" Everyone''s eyes widened as they watched Lin Tian. Clap clap! After running swiftly a few steps, Lin Tian suddenly paused and then turned around somewhat awkwardly, facing the crowd, "Well, I wasn''t quite ready. Let me build up to it..." "Uh..." Seeing this, everyone was stunned. After a moment of silence, the joking students began to shout again. "The stakes have gone up, folks! I bet ten packs of spicy sticks!" "I bet twenty packs!" "What''s that, I''ll bet a hundred packs!" By then, they all realized Lin Tian was just joking around and began to shout as well. "You..." Li Xiaomeng glared at Lin Tian with eyes widened, huffily turning her head away from him. She was a bit angry, feeling that Lin Tian was making fun of her. "Uh..." Watching Li Xiaomeng turn her back, Lin Tian felt a bit awkward. Had he taken the joke too far? After a moment, Lin Tian went over to coax Li Xiaomeng, then stood up and shouted again, "Yeah! I''m serious this time! Watch my Qinggong Skimming on Water!" Saying so, Lin Tian clapped his way toward Lotus Pond. "This time I bet a thousand packs of spicy sticks!" "I bet ten thousand!" "I bet one hundred thousand!" Everyone thought Lin Tian was still joking. But as they teased him, Lin Tian''s speed picked up and soon he was at Lotus Pond to perform. Then, all of a sudden, Lin Tian leaped into the air¡­ Seeing this, everyone''s eyes popped. This... Chapter 147 Debut Everyone''s eyes widened in shock.As they witnessed the scene, some even dropped the signs they were holding without realizing it. It''s true! Lin Tian actually jumped into the Lotus Pond, and that wasn''t even the main thing; the main thing was that Lin Tian was really skimming across the water. Watching the splashes Lin Tian kicked up with his feet on the surface of the water, seeing him running swiftly over the water, everyone was stupefied. Only Li Xiaomeng, with her eyes wide open, watched excitedly. He did it! I knew my brother-in-law could do it! Li Xiaomeng thought to herself excitedly. Lin Tian was fast, and in a matter of seconds, he had run from one side of the Lotus Pond to the other. When Lin Tian landed, many of the students on the grass still hadn''t processed what happened. They looked dumbfounded. Seeing these people looking like that, Li Xiaomeng lifted her head, her little face full of pride, "Hmph! I told you my brother-in-law could do it! You ignorant Earthlings!" Upon hearing Li Xiaomeng''s voice, those people finally snapped back to reality, and a chorus of exclaims followed. "Damn! Is this for real? He actually ran over? No way?" "Fake, obviously fake, right?" "Is there a wooden board under the water or something?" All sorts of guesses and exclamations were heard. Some even went down to check if there really was something underneath the water. Amazement, incredulity. In short, all kinds of voices were heard. When Lin Tian came back around from the other side, he was immediately surrounded by lots of people. Then, all kinds of questions came pouring in. The most common question was how Lin Tian did it? Was it for real, and so on. By this time, those students who had gone to check under the water had also come back. They were certain; there was nothing under the water. Looking at the group of curious ''babies'' surrounding him, Lin Tian explained casually. After all, with the Levitation Technique he had performed at the Elegance Competition before, this Skimming on Water also had an avenue for explanation. Magic! Whether they believed it or not was their own business. Amidst laughter and play, night fell without them noticing. Because Li Xiaomeng still had class the next day, her father came to pick her up and take her back at six in the afternoon. When leaving, Li Xiaomeng seemed reluctant, always saying she would come back. Hearing this, Lin Tian was somewhat speechless. Towards Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian felt both love and annoyance; she was cute, but could be a handful. A night passed without words, and then it was another Monday of the week. Four classes in the morning, two in the afternoon. Everything was very ordinary. Lin Tian''s major was acupuncture and tuina, a field of Chinese medicine. When he first chose this major, Lin Tian was just curious, so he went for it, considering he had no intention of relying on his major to make a living; thus, his initial university application was simply based on interest. However, two weeks into the term, Lin Tian had actually become quite interested in Chinese medicine. "School''s out! Wanna go play after dinner?" On his way back to the dorm, Feng Jiabao looked at the others with a grinning face. "Sure, no problem!" Guo Rong chuckled. Maybe because he was broad-minded and plump, he had already forgotten yesterday''s events in just a day. "Whatever..." Lin Tian replied indifferently. "Me too!" Lin Tao adjusted the thick glasses on his nose and said. "Huh? Is there a game today?" On their way back to the dorm, they passed by the school''s athletic field, which had a soccer pitch inside. Just then, Feng Jiabao noticed that there was a game going on inside the soccer pitch. Hearing his words, several people turned their gaze toward the soccer field. Upon seeing the situation on the soccer field, everyone was stunned. Lin Tao couldn''t help but say, "It''s still supposed to be a friendly match!" At that time, it was the Chinese and foreigners playing a match on the soccer field. One team was clearly composed of Chinese students, while the other team consisted of white and black players. "It''s a bit of a thrashing!" Lin Tian commented after watching for a while. "Yeah!" Feng Jiabao nodded as well. After watching for a bit, Lin Tian could clearly tell that the Chinese team was being dominated by the international mixed team. They could barely even touch the ball. "Alright, let''s go, nothing interesting to see here," Guo Rong said with a glance, somewhat bored. He liked playing basketball, but had no love for soccer since he wasn''t good at running. With a casual glance, they were about to leave when suddenly, Feng Jiabao stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed on the stands as he shouted, "Look, isn''t that Shen Mengyi?" S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Shen Mengyi?" Upon hearing this, Guo Rong''s eyes lit up and he widened his small eyes. As his gaze swept over, Guo Rong emphatically nodded, "It really is her." "Shall we go have a look?" Feng Jiabao raised his eyebrows in suggestion. "Let''s go have a look!" Guo Rong affirmed with a nod. Without hesitation, the two of them headed towards the track and field. Rolling their eyes at the pair, after exchanging glances, Lin Tao and Lin Tian resignedly followed. Meanwhile, Shen Mengyi was feeling utterly frustrated. She had previously guessed that her department''s team wouldn''t be able to beat the foreign languages department''s, but the results were still beyond her expectations. 4:0! Four to zero, and it had only been thirty minutes into the game; this was too exaggerated. Soccer isn''t basketball; even a full-time score of 4:0 would be considered a massacre, let alone within the first thirty minutes. What made Shen Mengyi even more speechless was that her department''s team seemed to have been completely demoralized by their opponents, devoid of any fighting spirit. "Shen, Chinese people just aren''t cut out for soccer!" Seeing Shen Mengyi''s gloomy appearance, a tall white man sitting next to her said confidently. After a glance at the man, Shen Mengyi murmured sullenly, "It''s not that Chinese people can''t play, it''s just that you haven''t seen the good players!" "Oh? Well, I haven''t noticed any!" Tom said with a faint smile. Seeing the casual smile on Tom''s face, knowing he didn''t believe her, Shen Mengyi felt annoyed but couldn''t really say anything in response. It was her fault for not having any skilled teammates. Experience new tales on empire She had already called over everyone she knew who was good at playing soccer. And yet, the situation was still the same. "Hey, beauty!" Just as Shen Mengyi was feeling blue, suddenly a cheerful voice came from behind her. Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Shen Mengyi turned her head and immediately saw Lin Tian''s somewhat mischievous grin. Seeing Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi''s eyes brightened. "Do you know how to play soccer?" Shen Mengyi asked with wide eyes, looking at Lin Tian. "Huh?" Lin Tian was a bit taken aback, wondering why she was asking him this as soon as he arrived. Could it be... After a glance at the situation on the field, Lin Tian had a guess in his mind. And just then, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super Task Chain: The fourth mini-task, help Shen Mengyi''s team to win the soccer match. Task completion reward: one Supernatural Point. Penalty for task failure: loss of two Supernatural Points." "It really is!" Lin Tian felt speechless upon hearing the voice in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian looked at Shen Mengyi and said, "I''m alright, I guess." "Alright as in you can or you can''t!" Shen Mengyi responded dissatisfied. "No problem beating them!" Lin Tian glanced over and pointed at the foreigners on the field. "Really?" Shen Mengyi sounded skeptical. "Truer than true gold!" Chapter 148 One Kick "Sure?" Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian and asked again with some doubts."Of course, how many times do you want me to say it!" Lin Tian looked at her, clearly exasperated. "Well then, let me ask you, what position do you play?" After thinking, Shen Mengyi asked. In fact, Shen Mengyi also didn''t hold much confidence, it was a case of trying anything in a desperate situation. The players currently on the field were completely devoid of fight, and even if Lin Tian were substituted in, it couldn''t get much worse. At most, they could just substitute Lin Tian out again. "What position?" Upon hearing this question, Lin Tian turned his head to look toward the soccer field. At this time, the Chinese team on the field was clearly being dominated by the foreign allied team, and the score was already four to zero. This score... Seeing this score, Lin Tian turned his head towards Shen Mengyi and said, "I play forward!" "Forward? Alright, I''ll speak to the coach below." Saying so, Shen Mengyi got up and walked toward the coach below. Actually, there wasn''t a professional coach, the so-called coach was just someone asked to temporarily fill the role. After Shen Mengyi left, Tom, who was sitting in the stands, turned his head and looked at Lin Tian curiously, asking in somewhat awkward Chinese, "Are you good at playing soccer?" "Of course!" Lin Tian raised his head proudly, glancing at him, unwilling to lose face in front of a foreigner. "I think you can''t make it!" Tom gently shook his head with certainty, extending his finger. "Is that so?" Lin Tian looked at him with a smirk and calmly said, "What if I told you I''d score two goals by halftime?" "What?" Tom''s eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you sure you''re not joking?" Scoring two goals before halftime? How could that be possible? How much time was left until halftime? At most, ten minutes. Two goals in ten minutes, and under such oppressive conditions? How could that be possible? He must think it''s a basketball game! "Hey, Lin Tian, come down!" Just then, Shen Mengyi''s voice came from below, and Lin Tian turned his head to see her waving at him. "I''m going, you''ll see soon enough, hope you''re not too surprised." Lin Tian said with a grin, patting Tom on the shoulder before heading down. Watching Lin Tian''s departing figure, Tom shrugged and turned to look at Lin Tian''s three roommates, "He''s the most immodest Chinese person I''ve ever seen!" Lin Tao and the others didn''t respond to him, although they also had some doubts about Lin Tian''s words, they wouldn''t undermine their brother''s dignity in front of a foreigner.

When Lin Tian ran down, Shen Mengyi handed him a red jersey, explaining, "Put this on, it''s unworn." Lin Tian glanced at it, saw that it was Number Zero, and with no objections, directly pulled the soccer jersey over his head. "Lin Tian, right? When you go on the field, don''t go too forward, try to cooperate with the team more, okay?" At that moment, a person who looked like a coach instructed Lin Tian. "Okay!" Lin Tian nodded, and as for what happened after he got on the field, that was Lin Tian''s affair. Taking advantage of a stoppage in play, the coach substituted a forward and immediately Lin Tian entered the field. As soon as Lin Tian entered, he immediately drew the attention of everyone present. Everyone was puzzled why there was a substitution. Not only the foreigners were skeptical, even Lin Tian''s teammates were puzzled. None of them recognized Lin Tian. However, despite the confusion, no one said anything. With such a score, nobody thought about winning anymore. The foreigners thought the same, believing that it made no difference who they switched in. Soccer isn''t basketball; they were confident they were going to win this match irrespective of such a change. Everyone thought that Lin Tian''s entry wouldn''t change the outcome of the game, but Lin Tian didn''t see it that way; he entered the field aiming to win. Once he ran onto the field, he warmed up a bit, but Lin Tian hardly got a chance to touch the soccer ball. It couldn''t be helped, compared to his own side, the foreign allied team''s skill level was just too high, his side was always under pressure, and the ball was hardly ever at their feet. Even if they got the ball, it would be quickly snatched away. Suppression! Continue your journey with empire The foreign allied team directly suppressed Lin Tian''s team, entirely preventing them from advancing past their half. Looking somewhat helplessly at this scene, just as Lin Tian was thinking about whether he should go back and try to snatch the soccer ball, suddenly, his eyes lit up. The soccer ball! At that moment, the soccer ball was not far ahead of him, coming toward one of his teammates. Seeing this, Lin Tian hurriedly waved and shouted, "To me! Pass it to me quickly!" Hearing Lin Tian''s loud shout, that person was taken aback. In the moment of his hesitation, two foreign players rushed over to challenge him. Seeing the two foreigners charging at him, he panicked but thought Lin Tian had a decent chance, so he kicked the ball towards Lin Tian''s feet. Whoosh! The soccer ball rolled towards Lin Tian. The pass was a bit off, a good three meters away from Lin Tian. "Ah!" Seeing the pass was slightly off, that person sighed, thinking they had lost the ball again. But then he was stunned, surprised to see a red figure suddenly appear in front of the soccer ball. Number Zero! It was that new player who had just come in, and he actually managed to receive the ball? While he was stunned, Lin Tian swiftly dribbled the ball toward the opposing team''s half. Due to complacency, the foreign team''s half was practically empty at that moment, with only three defenders still guarding the back. Whoosh whoosh! Lin Tian dashed with the soccer ball quickly toward the opposing half. As fast as an arrow! Seeing this, everyone stopped in their tracks, their eyes wide, watching Lin Tian. Chapter 149 is Just That Awesome Phew!The soccer ball whizzed away! Everyone''s eyes went wide! Seeing the roaring ball approaching, the goalkeeper who had initially dashed forward suddenly slammed on the brakes, then leaped up in an urgent attempt to save it! He stretched out his hand desperately... Phew! He felt a strong gust of wind graze over his fingers as the ball roared past above them! He didn''t reach it! Thud! The goalkeeper fell down due to the excessive force of his leap, but at that moment, he wasn''t concerned about himself; he immediately turned his head to look at the goal behind him. Shaking! The white net of the goal trembled! And at that moment, the white soccer ball was still bouncing around inside the goal! It went in! The ball went in! Seeing this outcome, the crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted into cheers! "Ah! Ah!" "Woof! It''s in!" The venue was filled with screams! Excited, Lin Tian''s teammates were all extremely thrilled! It wasn''t easy at all! After being suppressed for a full forty minutes, they had finally scored a goal, and now they could finally vent their feelings. Lin Tian was also a bit surprised by the outcome; he couldn''t be sure that his shot would definitely go in. But the result was that it actually went in! "Awesome!" While Lin Tian was still in a daze, he suddenly felt a body leap onto him from behind. Lin Tian stumbled, and before he could regain his composure, another body hurled itself at him! "Oh! Awesome!" The newcomer also shouted in excitement as he threw his weight on top. Thump, thump! One after another, teammates piled on top of him. With no choice, Lin Tian finally ended up at the bottom of the pile in a human pyramid. Watching the excited players below, Shen Mengyi also showed a smile on her face, turned her head to look at Tom beside her, and asked, "Tom, how was that goal?" "Haha, not bad, not bad!" Tom replied with a somewhat embarrassed smile. After an intense celebration, the match resumed. When they restarted, Lin Tian''s side had a completely different momentum, spirit! There was something in the teammates'' eyes now ¨C a thing called fighting spirit. Lin Tian''s goal had completely ignited his teammates'' fighting spirit, and even the players from the foreign alliance teams had become more focused. One of them even stuck close to Lin Tian, marking him closely throughout the match. The match continued, and from the start, Lin Tian''s side was again suppressed; despite their ignited spirit, the skill gap between the two teams was still too large, and they were still being dominated. Although Lin Tian was formidable, soccer remained a sport for eleven players, and with one person sticking close to him and another intercepting passes intended for him, Lin Tian didn''t even touch the ball in the next two minutes. As the time for the first half quickly drew to a close, Lin Tian became anxious; he remembered the boastful claim he had made to the foreign player before the match, that he would score two goals before the end of the first half. Lin Tian was intent on embarrassing him. After scanning the field for a while, suddenly, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up¡ªopportunity. Lin Tian took a quick step forward and shouted, "To me!" Hearing Lin Tian''s call, a player hurriedly sent the ball in his direction. Normally, the ball passed towards Lin Tian would get intercepted. But this time, Lin Tian didn''t give them the chance; he took a quick step forward, suddenly accelerated, and with a whoosh, he got to the ball before the other player, anchoring the ball with the tip of his foot. The opposing player tried to kick the ball away, but Lin Tian''s foot smoothly dragged it along, swiftly turning and leaving the player behind him in an instant. Phew! Lin Tian glanced up, assessed the situation, and with a flick of his foot, he darted forward with the ball at lightning speed. Seeing Lin Tian gain control of the ball again, Shen Mengyi on the stands tensed up. Once Lin Tian had the ball, three opponents immediately closed in on him. Whoosh, whoosh! Lin Tian''s feet shuffled left and right before his heel flicked the ball! Phew! The ball flew backward. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After sending the ball away, Lin Tian took a quick step forward, simultaneously turning and shouting, "To me!" Behind him was a teammate. Watching the ball suddenly appear at his feet, that player was taken aback, but then he heard Lin Tian''s voice and quickly passed the ball back to him. Since three players were surrounding Lin Tian, there was no one near him. The pass to Lin Tian was comfortable. Catching the ball, Lin Tian didn''t even adjust his steps, he just flicked the ball forward and strode ahead. Without a dense crowd in front of him, Lin Tian took off, his feet thundering forward at high speed. His pace was too fast, like a galloping stallion. Some chased after Lin Tian from behind, but he was too quick, leaving them to eat his dust. After getting past two players, Lin Tian faced the goalkeeper alone again. Another one-on-one! Discover stories with empire Seeing Lin Tian, the goalkeeper looked solemn and took the initiative to attack. Noticing the distance between them, Lin Tian stopped, made a slight adjustment, and then his right foot swung hard! His right foot struck the ball fiercely! Whoosh, whoosh! The white ball spun as it flew forward! Watching the whizzing soccer ball, everyone''s eyes were wide in anticipation! Uh... Gazing at the ball climbing higher and higher, everyone was stunned, a mistake? Flew too high? Just when everyone thought Lin Tian had overhit the ball, suddenly, it plummeted rapidly, as if pulled down by gravity, and roared into the goal! A leaf falling gently! At this sight, everyone was stunned for a moment, then the venue erupted with exclamations and screams. Another goal scored! And it was a beautiful falling leaf shot! Looking at the scene with excitement, Shen Mengyi turned her head, smiling with narrowed eyes at Tom, "Didn''t you say he couldn''t score two goals before the end of the first half? He did it." "Uh..." At this point, Tom didn''t know what to say. His face was full of embarrassment. Chapter 150 An Impossible Task Shortly after Lin Tian scored, the referee blew the whistle for halftime.Fifteen minutes later, the break ended, and the second half resumed. The midfield kickoff was this time taken by Lin Tian''s team. After discussing, Lin Tian took the kickoff. With the sound of the whistle, Lin Tian nudged the football forward, then hesitated for a moment and lifted his head to look at the goal. At that moment, Lin Tian noticed that, maybe because the game had just restarted, the opposing goalkeeper was somewhat far from the goal. Seeing this scene, an idea flashed through Lin Tian''s mind. Then his muscles tensed up, and he kicked the ball fiercely with his right foot! Bang! With the sound of the booming noise, everyone was stunned! The football whistled as it flew forward! This is¡­ The sudden move from Lin Tian left everyone shocked, what was he doing? Was it a shot at goal? But wasn''t that too exaggerated? Shooting from midfield? After a moment of shock, everyone lifted their heads to watch the ball in the air. At this time, the foreign team''s goalkeeper was still twisting his waist, but suddenly, he felt that something was off in the atmosphere. Why was everyone looking up at the sky? The goalkeeper instinctively looked up. As he did, a cold sweat broke out all over his body. The football! He saw a white football whistling past him towards his goal. Seeing this scene, he was scared out of his wits and hurriedly turned to chase the ball! But it was too late. As he turned, the football smashed into the grass, then quickly rebounded into the net. Thump! Thump! The football bounced around inside the goal. Silence! The scene was utterly silent! No one expected this development. Beep! After a brief silence, the referee''s whistle sounded¡ªthe goal was valid! "Yeah! Too cool!" Cheers erupted from the crowd, and all Lin Tian''s teammates excitedly rushed towards him. After a celebration, the game resumed, with the opposing team kicking off. Possibly provoked by Lin Tian, the foreign team played with utmost seriousness, their passing and movement flawless. Lin Tian''s side, being technically inferior, quickly gave away opportunities due to the opposing team''s constant attacks, and their number one forward poked the ball right into Lin Tian''s goal. Five to three! That goal once again struck a blow to the confidence of Lin Tian''s team. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian also grew anxious. He had to win, not just to earn Supernatural Points but also because failing to do so would mean losing two of them¡ªa result Lin Tian could not accept. So Lin Tian fought back with vigor, but his efforts were in vain as the opposition marked him closely, giving him no chance. Five minutes later, Lin Tian finally spotted an opportunity, but it was difficult to break through as he was surrounded by a circle of defenders. Glancing at his current position, he was about thirty meters away from the opponent''s goal. Let''s do this! He gritted his teeth! Lin Tian lashed out with his foot! Whoosh! The football screamed away, like a cannonball! Bang! Even though the opposing goalkeeper did his best to jump, just as his hand was about to touch the ball, the football took a wicked turn! A crescent kick! Bang! The football smashed fiercely into the white net! Beep! The referee''s whistle sounded, indicating the goal was valid! Five to four! Only trailing by one goal now. The following part of the match remained tense. The foreign team couldn''t defend against Lin Tian, while Lin Tian''s team couldn''t stop the opponents'' collective offense. The score of both teams was deadlocked. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Five to five! Six to five! Six to six! Seven to six! Seven to seven! By the end of the game, the score was tied at seven to seven, and out of those points, Lin Tian had scored six himself. It was essentially Lin Tian against an entire team. In the last minute of the game, Lin Tianyi hit the ball against the opponent''s crossbar, then executed a perfect bicycle kick that sent the soccer ball back into play. Goal! Seven to eight. After Lin Tian scored that goal, the opposing team failed to score again until the end of the match. The score was set at seven to eight! As the referee''s whistle indicated the end of the game, an electronic synthesized voice instantly rang out in Lin Tian''s mind, "Super Serial Task: The fourth mini-task of helping Shen Mengyi win the soccer game has been completed. Task reward: One Supernatural Point." The moment he heard the voice, Lin Tian took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed, "That was not easy!" It really wasn''t easy! At one point, Lin Tian thought he might fail, with the opposing team being so strong, he wasn''t very confident. But in any case, he had finally won in the end. After the match, a celebration followed. Then Lin Tian, along with his three roommates and Shen Mengyi, headed to the cafeteria restaurant. It was almost six by then, and the cafeteria was running out of food. Shen Mengyi, to show her gratitude to Lin Tian, offered to treat him to dinner. Hearing this, Lin Tian''s three roommates shamelessly insisted on tagging along. Out of options, Shen Mengyi reluctantly agreed to include them. On the way to the restaurant, Shen Mengyi looked curiously at Lin Tian, who was wiping his sweat with a tissue, and asked, "Lin Tian, you''re pretty good, huh!" "What?" Lin Tian took out a tissue, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and then paused, turning his head with a look of surprise. "I''m saying you''re quite impressive. You stole the show at the style competition, and I heard you did some ''Light Art Skimming on Water'' yesterday? Plus, your soccer skills are amazing! Not bad at all!" said Shen Mengyi, looking at Lin Tian curiously. She found this slightly perverted guy to be quite talented. Hearing Shen Mengyi''s praise, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and tossed his hair without any modesty, "Who am I? Even though I''ve retired from Jianghu, my legend still lives there! There''s nothing in Jianghu I can''t do!" "Yeah, right! Keep bragging!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. "Don''t believe me? Name something for me to do right now!" Lin Tian chuckled. Sweeping Lin Tian with a look of speechlessness and glancing at the nearly setting sun, Shen Mengyi pointed, "Then make that sun disappear!" Ding! As soon as Shen Mengyi finished speaking, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super Serial Task: The fifth mini-task to fulfill Shen Mengyi''s wish, annihilate the sun. Task reward: One Supernatural Point. Task failure: Deduction of two Supernatural Points. Note: This task must be completed within one day. If not completed within the stipulated time, it will be considered a failure." "What the hell!" Lin Tian swore suddenly after a moment of shock. This mission is downright impossible, right? Annihilate the sun? My God! How could that be possible! "What''s wrong with you! Why are you cursing!" Lin Tian''s sudden swearing drew disapproval from Shen Mengyi beside him. "Ah?" Lin Tian blinked, then quickly came back to reality with a grimacing face, "No, it wasn''t directed at you!" "Then who are you swearing at?" Shen Mengyi asked indignantly. She thought Lin Tian was being excessive. "I''m cursing it!" Lin Tian said, pointing at the sunset in the sky. "Huh?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback by Lin Tian''s words. What did he mean? Suffering, Lin Tian explained, "I''m cursing it for being so big and powerful. I can''t destroy it and fulfill your wish!" Shen Mengyi laughed at Lin Tian''s expression, patting his shoulder, "It''s okay, I was just kidding! But you do look pretty funny!" Lin Tian''s face dropped, full of gloom. You were joking? But the system isn''t joking. Thinking about this task left Lin Tian speechless. I''ve gone too far! This bluff was too big! Lin Tian never imagined an offhand remark would bring about such a task. Destroy the sun? That''s just ridiculous! Even if he managed to destroy the sun, it might not even get destroyed. "What the heck, am I really going to fail this task?" Lin Tian thought, utterly despondent. With his mind preoccupied, Lin Tian was somewhat absent-minded during dinner. He pondered if there was any way to complete this task. It was impossible to really destroy the sun. He''d have to be out of his mind to attempt such a thing. Besides, even if he wanted to, he didn''t have the power to do it. With a day left to finish the task, Lin Tian tried all sorts of things. He dabbled with special effects, photoshopped himself in, and virtually destroyed the sun on his computer. Stay tuned to empire But it was utterly useless. Then Lin Tian went out of his way to make a fake sun and destroyed that. Still, no use at all! Lin Tian continued to experiment in various ways, but they all ended in failure. The day quickly passed by. Watching time slip away, Lin Tian felt helpless. He tried every possible method, but it was all in vain. Ding! When the time was up, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super..." Chapter 151 I Said Get Lost! When the time was up, an electronic synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Super Chain Task: The fifth mini-task, fulfilling Shen Mengyi''s wish to destroy the sun, has failed. Two Supernatural Points deducted."As the voice sounded, Lin Tian watched two of the three golden Supernatural Points in his Sea of Consciousness disappear. Originally, Lin Tian had three drops of Supernatural Points; now, only one remained. "Damn it..." Lin Tian was so angry he almost twisted his nose out of shape. Failure! This was the first time Lin Tian had not completed a task, the first time he had failed. "This sucks!" Lin Tian mumbled frustratedly as he rubbed his face with his hand, looking extremely depressed. Unsatisfactory! Lin Tian was very unsatisfied! Suddenly, Lin Tian paused, stunned. Ding! An electronic synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Super Chain Task: The sixth mini-task, help Shen Mengyi deal with the driver''s harassment. Task completion reward: one Supernatural Point. Task failure penalty: two Supernatural Points. Note: this task must be completed within ten minutes, and failure to complete within the stipulated time will be deemed as a failure." Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian was stunned and then cursed, "Damn!" After cursing, Lin Tian quickly got up and ran outside. Seeing Lin Tian rushing out in such a hurry, Lin Tao and the others were taken aback, unable to understand what got into Lin Tian. As soon as he ran out of the dorm, Lin Tian immediately looked around. Then Lin Tian''s gaze turned to the northwest. In that direction, Lin Tian saw a figure flickering with red light. That was Shen Mengyi''s silhouette. Upon seeing the red light, Lin Tian quickly ran in that direction. Mengyi''s current location should be the school''s Gate No. 4. ** As Lin Tian dashed over, Shen Mengyi was already fuming with anger. She glared at the driver in front of her and snapped, "Wasn''t it agreed to be one hundred? How did it become one hundred and twenty!" "At the beginning, the journey was so long, so long, my fuel is hardly enough!" the crew-cut driver responded indifferently, facing Shen Mengyi. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It was you who said you knew the way at the start, it was you who got lost, how can you charge extra for this!" Mengyi glared back at the driver, her face full of fury. "Exactly, exactly! This is clearly your own problem. Even if the route taken was longer, it''s because you weren''t familiar with it, what does that have to do with us!" said a classmate next to Mengyi, also looking displeased at the driver. "We''ll pay up to one hundred, not a penny more!" the other classmates chimed in. Today, Mengyi and her club had organized an outing and had chartered two vans from the school gate, with the fare set at one hundred for a round trip per van. Who would have thought that the driver would not know the way, take a detour, and then claim it was too far, demanding an extra charge upon return. Under such circumstances, Mengyi and her friends naturally refused to comply. The problem was entirely the driver''s fault. They claimed to know the way at the beginning, but ended up getting lost themselves, making the detour not their responsibility at all. "Right! We''ll give a hundred at most, not a cent more!" "Exactly! Exactly!" A chorus of agreement rang out at the scene. There were more than a dozen people on this outing, but most of them were girls, with only four or five boys. With the sound of agreement from the crowd, the crew-cut driver''s expression changed instantly. He slammed his hand on the hood of the car and bellowed, "Damn it, if you don''t pay, you''re not going anywhere!" "Just because you say we can''t leave, we can''t leave?" Hearing the driver''s arrogant words, a few of the male students could hardly restrain themselves, retorting sarcastically. "Motherfucker, what did you just say?" Hearing this, the man with the buzz cut immediately stepped forward swiftly and pointed at the male student''s nose, cursing loudly. Seeing this scene, the surrounding students all gathered around to watch. At the same time, the drivers of the vans nearby also ran over. A group of more than a dozen van drivers surrounded the male student who had spoken up. "Kid, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to cross me?" A bald driver said coldly, looking at the male student. Shen Mengyi was shocked to see her classmate surrounded by more than a dozen people, and immediately pushed through the crowd, shouting, "What''s the matter, what''s the matter? Are you looking to bully someone?" "What''s going on?" The security guards at the school gate also noticed the commotion and hurried over. Seeing a few security guards approaching, Shen Mengyi quickly explained the situation. After scanning the scene, an older security guard pulled Shen Mengyi and a few other students aside and whispered to them. "Look, just forget about it, it''s just an extra twenty bucks," the older security guard said, pulling Shen Mengyi and a few other students aside and advising them quietly. "How can that be okay? It''s clearly their fault," Shen Mengyi said with a look of defiance. "Sigh, better to avoid trouble. In the end, it''s you who are going to suffer. They are all in cahoots. You don''t know, but two years ago during the summer vacation, because the school planned to use the school bus to take students directly to the train station, which would have affected their business, they blocked the school bus and even smashed it! And in the end? The school still gave in and stopped the activity! The school doesn''t want to provoke them, and you better not either. If it really comes to a fight, you''ll be at a disadvantage. They don''t just fight, they fight to kill!" Hearing this, Shen Mengyi and the others were stunned. They''re this overbearing? Originally, Shen Mengyi and the others were unwilling to compromise, but after hearing what the security guard said, it seemed they really had no choice. They definitely didn''t want to get hurt or even lose their lives over twenty bucks. Despite the frustration and helplessness, in the end, Shen Mengyi and the others chose to compromise. Just as Shen Mengyi and the others were about to obediently pay the money, Lin Tian hurried over. Read latest chapters at empire After quickly scanning the area, Lin Tian''s gaze immediately landed on Shen Mengyi, who was about to pay. Lin Tian hurried over and stopped her, "What''s going on?" Seeing Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi was a bit surprised, and then she began explaining in a low voice. Seeing this girl chatting with someone while she was supposed to be paying annoyed the drivers who were ready to take the money, they urged her rudely, "Hurry up, hurry up, stop babbling." By this time, Lin Tian had already understood the situation. Looking up, Lin Tian pulled out two hundred-yuan notes from his wallet and tossed them over, "Two hundred, take it if you want it, if not, get lost!" Lin Tian''s tone was anything but courteous; already upset about the failed mission, he was not in a good mood. Taken aback for a moment, one of the drivers glared at Lin Tian with anger, "Kid, watch your mouth." "I said take the two hundred and leave, or get the hell out!" Lin Tian said impatiently. The sudden conflict surprised everyone present. Nobody expected Lin Tian to be so hot-tempered. The drivers were also stunned; they couldn''t believe Lin Tian was being so aggressive. After a moment of shock, one of the drivers opened the van door, pulled out a wooden stick, and smashed it towards Lin Tian''s head, shouting angrily, "Motherfucker, that''ll teach you to be arrogant!" "Ah!" Seeing this scene, Shen Mengyi screamed. Chapter 152 Do You Want Me to Calculate It for You? ```Watching the wooden stick smash towards his head, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and suddenly reached out his hand! Crack! The arm-thick wooden stick was caught single-handedly by Lin Tian. With a cold face, Lin Tian gripped the stick and yanked it fiercely! Hiss~! In an instant, the driver felt a fiery pain in his hands as the stick he was clutching tightly was forcibly yanked out by Lin Tian! "Hit me? Looking for death!" Lin Tian looked coldly at the driver and lashed out with the stick towards the driver''s thigh! Crack! Accompanied by a crisp sound, the driver instantly screamed and fell to the ground. Pain! Pain! A severe pain emanated from his thigh, making him think his leg was nearly broken. Stunned for a moment, the other drivers reacted, roaring in anger as they all charged towards Lin Tian. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing this sudden scene, all the students were shocked and quickly dodged to the side. Many students turned their gaze to Lin Tian, with worry and nervousness visible in the eyes of many. In their hearts, these students were all rooting for Lin Tian, but at this moment, Lin Tian was facing more than a dozen of them alone, and they believed Lin Tian was definitely at a disadvantage. He would surely be beaten. Being beat up was inevitable. But the next scene made everyone''s eyes widen in disbelief. This... Bang bang! Smack smack! With every sound that rang out, a person hit the ground. Lin Tian''s face was cold as he swung the stick in his hand rapidly. The speed was so fast it even created a flurry of stick shadows. As cries of agony rose, Lin Tian remained unscathed, while all the minivan drivers who charged at him were knocked to the ground. In just a few seconds, the dozen or so men who had rushed at Lin Tian menacingly were all groaning on the ground. Coldly surveying his surroundings, Lin Tian threw down the now broken stick, spat fiercely, and cursed, "Damn it, no appreciation for kindness given!" Silence! The scene was utterly silent, everyone somewhat blankly watching Lin Tian. "Whew!" Taking a deep breath and after venting his frustration, Lin Tian felt much better. "Lin, Lin Tian..." Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian somewhat dazedly, stunned as well. As Shen Mengyi spoke, Lin Tian''s Sea of Consciousness echoed with an electronic, synthesized voice: "Super Chain Quest - The sixth mini-task of assisting Shen Mengyi in dealing with the drivers'' harassment is completed. Reward: one Superpower Point." In the moment that the synthesized voice sounded, Lin Tian felt a new Superpower Point floating within his Sea of Consciousness. Glancing at the Superpower Points floating in his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian felt much better, even though he had lost two points, but now he had gained one. Lin Tian now had a total of two Superpower Points. "Lin Tian..." As Lin Tian was lost in thought, Shen Mengyi''s voice reached his ears again. "Hmm?" Startled, Lin Tian came back to his senses and looked towards Shen Mengyi. Soon Lin Tian noticed a look of worry on Shen Mengyi''s pretty face. "What''s up?" Feeling that Shen Mengyi''s expression was strange, Lin Tian asked. Looking at Lin Tian with concern, Shen Mengyi then pulled Lin Tian aside and whispered anxiously, "You''ve gotten yourself into trouble, they''re not just these few people, they will definitely seek revenge!" Shen Mengyi was genuinely worried for Lin Tian; she knew these people would surely come back for revenge. Lin Tian, taken aback, glanced at Shen Mengyi and then smiled nonchalantly, "No worries, I can handle it!" With that, he patted Shen Mengyi''s shoulder and said relaxedly, "I''m fine. I can deal with all of this." "It''s not..." Shen Mengyi was a bit frantic, thinking that Lin Tian didn''t understand the gravity of the situation. "Alright, I''ve got to go!" Lin Tian interrupted Shen Mengyi, waved his hand, and turned to walk towards the school. Watching Lin Tian leave without looking back, Shen Mengyi stamped her foot in annoyance and exclaimed, "No good deed goes unpunished!" Lin Tian heard Shen Mengyi''s muttering behind him, but he did not turn back, continuing to walk forward instead. Lin Tian knew Shen Mengyi made sense; if things were left as they were, those people would definitely come back for revenge, and then he''d really be in trouble. Lin Tian wasn''t afraid of their retaliation, but he hated troubles that could disrupt his normal study and life. As Lin Tian headed to his dorm, he pondered a solution. Thinking it over, an idea occurred to Lin Tian. Lei Jun! ``` Lin Tian thought of Lei Jun, whom he had encountered at the last gathering with his classmates. Lei Jun was one of the underworld high rollers in Wu''an City. And those drivers clearly had a bit of a Jianghu team flavor to them. There was no one more suitable than Lei Jun to deal with these people. With that thought, Lin Tian took out his phone and dialed Lei Jun''s number. "Hello, Brother Lei, sorry for not calling you for so long. It''s my fault. What''s up. Yes, I have a favor to ask of you today¡­ Yeah, it''s like this..." Lin Tian then told him about what had just happened. Hearing about it, Lei Jun agreed readily, saying it was no problem at all. He would handle the rest of the matter. After chatting a bit more, Lin Tian hung up the phone. "Professional tasks still require professionals!" Lin Tian twirled his phone and nodded slightly. For the next two days, Lin Tian''s days were very peaceful. Many people guessed that those drivers would come to trouble Lin Tian, but there was no movement from them. This left many people puzzled. When did these people start to have such good tempers? On the third day, just as Lin Tian was leaving class for his dormitory, he suddenly saw Shen Mengyi walking anxiously toward the school exit. Glancing at her, Lin Tian was a bit puzzled. Did Shen Mengyi have some kind of emergency? Looking at her curiously, Lin Tian did not pay further attention and was about to leave when suddenly, he paused mid-step. A synthesized electronic voice rang out in his brain: "Super chain mission: The seventh task is to help Shen Mengyi''s sister recoup the lost money." A mission, a mission actually came. "Missions really do come without any regularity!" Lin Tian shook his head speechlessly, then started to run toward Shen Mengyi while shouting, "Shen Mengyi!" Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Shen Mengyi, who was in a rush to get outside, paused and turned around to see that it was Lin Tian. Seeing that Shen Mengyi had stopped, Lin Tian quickened his pace and caught up with her, asking curiously, "What''s wrong? You look so flustered." "My sister just called me saying her money was stolen, and she''s crying right now!" Shen Mengyi glanced at Lin Tian as she explained. "Where is she?" Lin Tian asked curiously. "At the No. 4 school gate, I''m on my way to find her," Shen Mengyi replied with some urgency. She was really worried that her sister might have been harmed, as her sister was crying so pitifully on the phone. "Let''s go together," Lin Tian said with a smile, giving her a glance. "You, going there...?" Shen Mengyi hesitated. The No. 4 school gate was where those drivers congregated, and Lin Tian had just fought with them a few days ago. Going there now... Shen Mengyi was already curious about why those people didn''t seek revenge, and now Lin Tian was walking right into the situation? "It''s okay, let''s go!" Seeing that Shen Mengyi was still hesitant, Lin Tian took her hand and walked towards the No. 4 school gate. Upon reaching the No. 4 school gate, Lin Tian immediately saw a girl in blue jeans squatting on the ground crying. People around were subtly casting glances at her. The moment she saw the girl, Shen Mengyi hurried over and asked anxiously as she squatted down, "Yiran, what''s wrong?" Hearing the familiar voice of Shen Mengyi, Shen Yiran looked up, and then threw herself into Shen Mengyi''s arms, sobbing, "Sister, my money was stolen. All two thousand was taken." "Okay, okay, don''t cry! If it''s stolen, then so be it," Shen Mengyi said softly, patting her sister on the back and comforting her. Many people turned to look at the scene, and many of the minivan drivers cast occasional glances at the two girls. Seeing this, Lin Tian shouted angrily, "What are you looking at, scram!" Lin Tian''s shout attracted many people''s attention, and the drivers, upon seeing Lin Tian, instantly changed their expressions, turning their heads away with a hint of fear. They didn''t dare to look anymore. Witnessing this, two school security guards nearby were puzzled. When had these people become so well-behaved? Was it really because Lin Tian had beaten them once that they were now this tame? Impossible. They were not so easily subdued. If that were the case, they would no longer pose a threat to the school. So what was the reason? Or did this boy have a significant backing? Seeing this scene, various speculations flashed through the minds of the two security guards. After comforting her sister for a while, Shen Mengyi took her sister''s hand and walked back toward the school. Not knowing what to say, Lin Tian could only follow behind the two of them. Having walked a little distance, Lin Tian noticed Shen Yiran was still crying, so he couldn''t help but speak up, "Alright, don''t cry anymore. I can help you get the money back!" Hearing this, Shen Yiran abruptly stopped sobbing and turned her head to look at Lin Tian, sizing him up and down, "Are you my sister''s friend? Don''t try to comfort me with that, I''m upset enough as it is." Letting out a helpless sigh, Lin Tian shrugged, "It might be impossible for others, but that doesn''t mean it''s impossible for me." "The person who stole my money is long gone, how are you going to find them?" Shen Yiran asked doubtfully. "I said it might be impossible for others, but that doesn''t mean it''s impossible for me. I can tell fortunes, want me to do a reading for you?" "Alright, alright, stop joking!" Thinking Lin Tian was joking, Shen Mengyi interrupted him. "Don''t believe me? I''ll do a reading for you." Saying so, Lin Tian took out three coins from his pocket, held the coins in his hand, pondered for a moment, looked up at the two women with a grin and said, "Let''s see what color underwear you''re wearing today!" After speaking, Lin Tian chuckled and tossed the coins. Continue your journey on empire Whoosh! With Lin Tian''s toss, the silver coins rapidly spun on the concrete ground. Buzzing! A few seconds later, the coins stopped. Chapter 153 Give Me My Money Back! "You... hooligan!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Shen Mengyi was taken aback, and soon her pretty face blushed as she rebuked him shyly and indignantly."Ah?" Shen Yiran was also stunned by Lin Tian''s words. "Do you really know how to calculate?" Shen Yiran looked at Lin Tian with disbelief. "Of course!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, then bent down to pick up the three coins from the ground, held them in his hand, and tossed them onto the ground once more, saying at the same time, "Let me tell you who stole your money." Whir, whir! As Lin Tian made his move, the three silver coins spun rapidly on the concrete ground. Read exclusive chapters at empire A few seconds later, the coins stopped. At the same time, a stream of information flowed into Lin Tian''s mind. Looking at the information in his mind, Lin Tian looked at Shen Yiran and slowly began to speak, "The one who stole your money is a gang, isn''t it? There are four of them. Among the four, there is one bald guy, one with a scarred face, and a girl, right?" The more Lin Tian spoke, the wider Shen Yiran''s mouth hung open... Truly, Lin Tian had guessed everything correctly. "You really..." Shen Yiran stared at Lin Tian, dumbfounded. "Of course!" Lin Tian chuckled, "Don''t worry, I''ll help you with your money." ** Two hours later, Lin Tian was on a train. When Lin Tian arrived, the four thieves were already on the train, and it was about to depart. With no other choice, Lin Tian had to board the train as well. This train was the green-skinned type and quite empty. Arriving in Carriage No. 11, Lin Tian glanced around and immediately locked onto the four people. These four were the ones who had stolen Shen Yiran''s money. He had planned to directly retrieve the two thousand yuan, but then Lin Tian had another idea and turned to leave. Half an hour later, Lin Tian had an extra small backpack on him. With the backpack on, Lin Tian took a seat not far from the four. After resting for a while in his seat, Lin Tian smacked his lips and thought for a moment, then he turned around to take the backpack from behind his seat. He opened the small bag and pulled out something wrapped in a black plastic bag. He placed this package on the table and then began to unwrap the black plastic layer by layer, eventually taking out the contents. Stack by stack! Lin Tian pulled out stack after stack of red banknotes from inside¡ªall hundreds! Considering the thickness, there had to be at least thirty or forty thousand yuan! The moment Lin Tian placed the stacks of red banknotes on the table, the people around him instantly turned their gazes towards them. Although there weren''t many passengers on the train at that time, the scene still shocked everyone. Some gazed dumbfounded at the stacks of red banknotes on Lin Tian''s table. Licking his lips, Lin Tian counted the money on his table, seeming to relish the moment. After enjoying the view for a while, Lin Tian then packed the money back into the black plastic bag. Once it was back inside, Lin Tian carelessly stuffed the black bag behind him without paying any more attention to it. Seeing this, the four people sitting not far away exchanged glances and then nodded at each other. "Ah, so boring. Anyone for cards?" Suddenly, one of the bald men in the group yelled out. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Me, me!" A voluptuous woman raised her hand and shouted. This woman was also one of the four. "Let''s play Landlord, but we''re one short!" The bald man said with some regret. "I''ll get someone!" The woman immediately responded upon hearing this. As she spoke, the woman got up and sat down next to Lin Tian, reaching out her little hand to tug at Lin Tian''s sleeve, "Handsome, wanna play cards?" "Yeah, yeah, it''s boring traveling. Let''s all play together!" The bald man also directly took a seat opposite Lin Tian. "Come on!" Licking his somewhat dry lips, Lin Tian revealed an innocuous smile, "Sure thing!" "Great, deal the cards then!" However, some observant people who witnessed this shook their heads. Poor guy! This boy is definitely at a disadvantage. Clearly, these people are working together; it''s an obvious trap! Despite this knowledge, no one spoke up. In this day and age, good deeds often go unrewarded. To warn them might even lead to being beaten up, as the other party was a group of four. "Yeah! Four twos!" The girl excitedly threw down four twos. "Hehe! I got double kings!" Lin Tian tossed down a pair of jokers with a giggle, and when he threw down his last card, he laughed, "A three; I win!" "Annoying, you didn''t even let me win!" The girl pouted, pulling Lin Tian''s hand and speaking in a coquettish tone. The bald man across the table gave the girl a sign with his eyes. The girl nodded subtly, and as she continued to lean on Lin Tian, speaking in a whiny voice, her other hand reached for the black plastic bag behind Lin Tian. She deftly pulled the black bag out, and then one of her accomplices swiftly took the black bag from her hand. That was another one of her associates. There were three or four people on the train who saw what happened, but not one of them dared to speak up. That''s because the man holding the plastic bag was a towering figure at six feet tall, with a burly frame and a scar across his face, clearly not someone to mess with. Fear of getting into trouble for meddling in others'' affairs meant that many people chose to remain silent. "Sigh..." someone sighed softly. He was speechless at Lin Tian''s naivety; the young man was too easily scammed. And who carries so much cash with them? Fine to carry cash, but to show it off like that? It really was, really was... courting death. Having succeeded, the girl pouted and shouted, "No fun, always losing, boring!" With that, the girl stood up. Seeing the girl stand, the bald man opposite her also stood. Then the four of them nodded slightly to each other, exchanging glances before turning to leave collectively. "Wait!" Just as they were about to leave, Lin Tian suddenly shouted. "What?" The girl turned and looked at Lin Tian with a cold face. Lin Tian also stood up, grinning at the two, "Give me back my money!" "Money? What money?" Upon hearing this, the girl''s face changed instantaneously. Looking at the group, Lin Tian said with a grin, "Hey, have you not seen what you''re holding in your hands?" Finishing his words, Lin Tian bent over, still grinning, and picked up his backpack from behind. Then he pulled out a plastic bag identical to the black one and, opening it, he took out stack after stack of red bills. "This..." Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded! After a moment of shock, Scarface looked down and pulled out a black plastic bag from his pocket, opened it, and was stupefied. Newspapers! Newspapers! It was actually just piles and piles of newspapers! "How is this possible!" Scarface incredulously drew out pile after pile of newspapers. Everyone was stunned as they watched the newspapers flutter, unable to regain their composure. Grinning at the dumbfounded four, Lin Tian whistled, his face teasing, "Trying to outsmart me? Dream on! Bow down and worship!" After speaking, Lin Tian glanced at the girl and chuckled, "Beautiful, nice figure!" "You..." The girl glared at Lin Tian, her face full of rage. "Looking for death!" Already played and boiling with anger, Lin Tian''s brazen attitude immediately provoked fury in the group. "Kid, let me teach you how to behave!" Scarface, face red with anger, charged towards Lin Tian. Seeing Scarface''s motion, the other two men also surged towards Lin Tian in an instant. Speechless... Seeing this, the onlookers all wore faces of speechlessness. "Idiot..." someone muttered softly. He wasn''t speaking about Scarface, but about Lin Tian. Lin Tian had just played them but had to announce it. And not only announce it, but he did so in such a dismissive manner. Isn''t that asking for trouble? The three men were all big and tall, and by all accounts, Lin Tian was at a disadvantage. So stupid! The onlookers all thought Lin Tian was an idiot; was he not looking for a beating by provoking them? Everyone thought Lin Tian was going to be beaten, but what happened next took everyone by surprise. Whoosh! Scarface threw a heavy punch at Lin Tian''s head. Smack! The punch landed solidly on Lin Tian''s head. Yet Lin Tian appeared calm and collected as if it wasn''t his head that had been struck. As for Scarface, he looked normal at first, but instantly, his face twisted in pain. "Ah! It hurts, it hurts!" Scarface cried out, clutching his hand. A rock, it was like his punch had hit a rock. Seeing this, everyone was startled. Seizing the moment of their shock, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and suddenly kicked out! Bang! Lin Tian sent one of them flying with a kick! "Hey!" Lin Tian landed a punch on Scarface''s stomach. Lin Tian was so fast, by the time the crowd realized what was happening, he had already knocked the three men to the ground. It had only been a matter of seconds. Stunned at the sight of her three companions easily knocked down by Lin Tian, the girl was flabbergasted. After a quick search on the fallen men, Lin Tian found five to six thousand yuan. Chapter 154 Scoundrel After getting off the train, Lin Tian left the station and hailed a taxi to Wu''an City.Since the train he had taken was a slow one, stopping at almost every small station, he was not far from Wu''an City. A taxi ride would take about two hours to get there. Once in the car, Lin Tian dialed Guo Rong''s number, "Hey, Sleepyhead, did you mark me present?" "Did it!" "They didn''t notice, right?" "Nope! Don''t you trust us?" "That''s good." After chatting for a bit more, Lin Tian hung up the call. Because Lin Tian was in a rush to help Shen Yiran get back the stolen money, he naturally couldn''t attend his afternoon classes, so he had to ask his dorm mates to help mark his attendance. This was the first time Lin Tian had skipped class since starting university, fortunately, the teacher hadn''t noticed. By the time Lin Tian returned to school, it was already evening. Back at school, Lin Tian scanned the area and soon spotted a red figure in the direction of the teaching building. It was the task-red light flickering on Shen Mengyi. "She must be studying in the classroom," Lin Tian thought, after giving Shen Mengyi''s whereabouts a quick glance. Fingering the cash in his pocket, Lin Tian strode toward the teaching building. Although he had retrieved the two thousand yuan, Lin Tian hadn''t received a message saying the task was completed; apparently, he needed to return the money to Shen Mengyi''s sister, Shen Yiran. Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered to look for Shen Yiran and decided to go directly to Shen Mengyi instead. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian entered the classroom where Shen Mengyi was. At that time, there were about twenty students studying in the classroom. Lin Tian took a quick look inside and immediately found Shen Mengyi sitting at the back, and next to her was her sister, Shen Yiran. "Both here, perfect!" Seeing the two of them, Lin Tian felt a surge of joy and walked over. Since no one was sitting in the seats in front of Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran, Lin Tian directly took the seat in front of them. He then pulled out roughly four thousand yuan from his pocket and slapped it onto the desk in front of them. Slap! The sudden appearance of a stack of red banknotes on the desk in front of them startled Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran, who were deep in their books. After a moment of surprise, they raised their heads, and then were astounded once again. They hadn''t expected Lin Tian. Stunned for a moment, Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian with surprise, then back at the money on the table, and exclaimed, "What are you doing..." "Here, two thousand of this is your sister''s!" Lin Tian snorted, pointing at the stack of money on the table. "Ah? Did you..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yiran, guessing what had transpired, gasped in shock, her voice inadvertently rising. Because Shen Yiran suddenly raised her voice, the other students quietly reading in the room turned their gazes, looking somewhat displeased. Noticing the glares from the surrounding students, Shen Mengyi quickly gathered the money from the desk and, standing up softly, said, "Let''s talk outside." Then, the three of them got up and went outside the classroom. As soon as she arrived outside the classroom, Shen Yiran couldn''t contain her surprise and looked at Lin Tian with amazement, "Did you really get those two thousand yuan back?" "Of course, there''s nothing I can''t handle!" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and laughed with a heh-heh. "Really? You didn''t just take out two thousand of your own, did you?" Holding a handful of cash, Shen Mengyi asked with some suspicion. She genuinely thought Lin Tian might do something like that. Because in the past, she had encountered similar situations where men who pursued her would normally spend tens of thousands, so she was quite skeptical that Lin Tian had withdrawn the money himself to please her. That was her confidence in her own appearance. Lin Tian gave Shen Mengyi a speechless glance, took out his phone, opened the photo album, and handed it over, "Here, take a look. Are these the people?" Lin Tian had anticipated this scene, so he had previously captured the faces of those four people with his phone. "Let me see, let me see!" Seeing Lin Tian mention that he had photos of those people on his phone, Shen Yiran immediately leaned in closer. Hearing Shen Yiran''s words, Shen Mengyi promptly shifted the phone in her direction and moved it down a bit. Shen Yiran''s gaze swept over the photos on the phone, and she widened her eyes in disbelief before flipping through the pictures again, finding all four individuals who had stolen her money. "It''s true! You really found them?" Shen Yiran took her eyes off the phone and stared at Lin Tian in disbelief. Although she had previously witnessed the magic of Lin Tian''s divination, she was still somewhat in disbelief when Lin Tian actually found those four people. "That''s right, would I lie to you!" Lin Tian shook his leg and whistled. "Huh? This is on a train?" At that moment, Shen Mengyi noticed something odd, realizing that the people in the photos seemed to be on a train. "Oh, by the time I found them, they were already on the train, so I just chased after them," Lin Tian explained casually. "..." Upon hearing this, both Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran fell silent instantly. Shen Mengyi was somewhat touched internally; for this matter, Lin Tian had actually chased after a train, this... On the side, Shen Yiran was also very surprised and couldn''t believe Lin Tian would go to such lengths, even chasing after a train. Glancing at the expressions of the two, Lin Tian knew they had misunderstood something and then chuckled, "Don''t get me wrong, I''m just a good person, um, a good person..." If it weren''t for the mission, Lin Tian wouldn''t have gone to such extremes. But naturally, Lin Tian wouldn''t say this out loud. However, Lin Tian''s explanation was met with disbelief from both. Shen Yiran laughed even more at Lin Tian and said, "Don''t explain anymore, explanation is just a cover-up, did you fall for my sister? Since you helped me out this time, I can help you!" "Your sister?" Lin Tian glanced at Shen Mengyi and was somewhat surprised to find that Shen Mengyi seemed to appear, well, a bit shy? Come on, she hasn''t fallen for me, has she? Am I really that charming? Seeing Shen Mengyi appear somewhat shy, Lin Tian started feeling a bit self-admiring inside. Seeing Lin Tian daydreaming, Shen Yiran laughed on the side, "Do you want my help? With my help, your chances of success would greatly increase. You should know that many people are after my sister." Hearing Shen Yiran''s words, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, gave her a look, then glanced at Shen Mengyi and subsequently Lin Tian pretended to ponder, stroking his slightly stubbly chin, and said thoughtfully, "Just one? How could that be enough? I aim for the sky with sisters, flying high! Why don''t you both hook up with me at once!"

Continue reading stories on empire While Shen Mengyi, on the other hand, was taken aback and then swung her fist towards Lin Tian, cursing, "Scram, pervert!" Lin Tian dodged with a snicker, teasing, "Don''t you like it? I''m quite amazing, you know, two is no problem!" "You... jerk!" Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian, somewhat annoyed, stomped her foot, and turned her face away, ignoring Lin Tian. Chapter 155 Help When Lin Tian teased Shen Mengyi, Shen Yiran also reacted, hands on her hips and cheeks puffed, she scolded indignantly, "You''ve got some nerve, hitting on my girl!""You''re not bad yourself, with boobs and a butt!" Lin Tian sized up Shen Yiran, making a lecherous face. "You¡­ die!" Unable to stand Lin Tian''s gaze any longer, Shen Yiran snapped. "Okay, okay, just kidding, don''t take it seriously!" Seeing that the two girls were about to leave, Lin Tian quickly joked. "Hmph, if you dare to do that again, I''ll ignore you!" Shen Mengyi glared at Lin Tian and pouted. "Hehe¡­" Lin Tian chuckled dryly without speaking. At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice resounded in his mind: "Super series task: The seventh mini-task of helping Shen Mengyi''s younger sister retrieve her stolen money is now complete. Reward: one Superpower Point." Hearing this electronic voice, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He had been wondering why there hadn''t been a task completion sound. With the task completed, Lin Tian focused his attention on his Sea of Consciousness, swept his gaze through the air there, and then saw three golden Superpower Points floating. "Got three more Superpower Points, not bad, not bad!" Every time he watched his Superpower Points increase, Lin Tian always felt a sense of bountiful pleasure. "Hey, what are you doing? I''m talking to you!" While Lin Tian was focusing on his Sea of Consciousness, Shen Yiran''s somewhat dissatisfied voice came from beside him. "Ah? What did you say?" Startled, Lin Tian looked at her somewhat bewildered. Giving Lin Tian a glare, Shen Yiran frostily said, "You didn''t hear me talking, did you? Forget it!" With that, Shen Yiran turned her head away, ignoring Lin Tian. "Um, I''ve had this problem since I was little, unconsciously zoning out, I really didn''t mean it! Forgive me, please!" Saying this, Lin Tian reached out and gently turned her around by the shoulders, facing him again. "You smell so good¡­" Suddenly, Lin Tian, holding Shen Yiran''s shoulders, blurted out. "What?" Hearing Lin Tian''s abrupt comment, Shen Yiran instinctively asked. Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said dreamily, "Whenever I''m close to you, I smell a young girl''s fragrance, light and captivating! It''s enchanting¡­" "You?" Shen Yiran was taken aback, then suddenly yelled, "Nice, flirting with me right in front of my sister, are you not thinking about pursuing my sister anymore!" "He''s just a pervert, a lecher! Who would fancy him!" Hearing Lin Tian actually flirting with her younger sister right in front of her, Shen Mengyi was visibly upset, pouting her lips. "I smell a strong sour scent here!" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, grinning. Saying this, Lin Tian walked two steps towards Shen Mengyi, came in front of her, leaned slightly forward, and took a deep breath with his eyes closed. Then, Lin Tian said dreamily, "Mmm, smells good¡­ it''s the fragrance of a beauty!" "Get lost!" Seeing Lin Tian with a sleazy look, Shen Mengyi pushed his face away with her little hand. After some playful banter, the Shen sisters were no longer in the mood to read. Subsequently, Lin Tian suggested grabbing some late-night food, and they agreed. Just a short walk from the academic building, four or five people approached them head-on. Seeing the person leading them, Lin Tian was taken aback. Wang Chao! It was the same Wang Chao who had given flowers to Shen Mengyi the first time Lin Tian met her. As Lin Tian spotted Wang Chao, Wang Chao also noticed Lin Tian and brightened up, striding towards Lin Tian. Seeing Wang Chao walking toward him, Lin Tian paused and waited with a composed expression on his face. "Why did you stop?" Seeing Lin Tian suddenly stop, Shen Yiran turned her head in confusion and looked at Lin Tian. She then realized that Lin Tian was looking at something, so she followed his gaze, and immediately saw Wang Chao coming over with four or five people. Seeing Wang Chao approaching, Shen Yiran tugged at her sister''s sleeve and whispered, "Sister, that guy who''s pursuing you is coming over again!" "Don''t blabber!" Shen Mengyi whispered back. She also saw that Wang Chao''s destination was their group. Lin Tian and his friends didn''t have to wait long; about ten seconds later, Wang Chao and his group arrived in front of the three of them. Standing before Lin Tian and the others, Wang Chao first glanced at Shen Mengyi, then turned his gaze toward Lin Tian. Lin Tian watched him quietly, waiting for him to speak. After staring at Lin Tian for a moment, Wang Chao suddenly said, "I heard you can fight really well?" Lin Tian''s eyebrows twitched slightly and he smiled, "So, you have a problem with that?" "No? I want to ask you for a favor!" "Oh? What''s that?" Lin Tian asked, looking surprised. Wang Chao''s reply was completely unexpected to Lin Tian. When Wang Chao came toward him with four or five people, Lin Tian thought he was looking for trouble, but the other party unexpectedly made such a request. What help did he need? After a moment''s pause, Lin Tian looked curiously at him, "What do you need help with?" Hearing Lin Tian''s question, Wang Chao hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard about your incident at the school''s gate number four. I know you can fight well, and I''ve come to ask if you could help me in a fight tomorrow?" "Help in a fight? What do you mean?" Lin Tian asked, somewhat puzzled. Hearing Lin Tian''s question, Wang Chao didn''t immediately respond. He took a deep breath and then said, "These past two weeks, the Taekwondo Club and Karate Club founded by Korean and Japanese students at the school have been challenging our Sanda Club. We can''t beat them, and they''ve taken many of our members. They''re coming tomorrow to challenge us again, and I want to ask for your help." "I see, I don''t know if I have the time," Lin Tian hesitated and then said. It wasn''t that he was unwilling to help, but Lin Tian didn''t take it very seriously, and he didn''t want to disrupt his own schedule. "If you don''t want to, never mind," Wang Chao replied, his face falling instantly. It had already been difficult for him to ask Lin Tian for help. Seeing Lin Tian''s reluctant attitude, he didn''t want to press anymore. "You know martial arts?" At this moment, Shen Yiran looked at Lin Tian curiously. Explore new worlds at empire "A bit," Lin Tian nodded. "Then why don''t you agree? I love teaching foreigners a lesson! Please agree!" Shen Yiran grabbed Lin Tian''s arm, coaxing him and shaking it a bit. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just then, a synthetic electronic voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission: Fulfill Shen Yiran''s wish to defeat those foreigners challenging the school. Reward for completing the mission: One Supernatural Point." Chapter 156 With One Hand ```"Uh..." Hearing the task announcement, Lin Tian knew he definitely had to help this time, and then looked up at Wang Chao, "No problem, I''ll go!" "If you don''t want to, forget it!" Wang Chao said somewhat displeased. "Of course, I want to! Definitely!" Lin Tian chuckled. With Supernatural Points to earn, only a fool would be unwilling. "You sure?" Wang Chao looked at Lin Tian skeptically. "Absolutely!" Lin Tian nodded assertively. "By the way, what kind of martial arts do you practice?" As soon as Lin Tian agreed, Wang Chao asked. "What kind of martial arts..." Hearing this, Lin Tian pondered for a moment. What kind of martial arts? He had not learned any, he just had great strength and quick reflexes... After thinking it over, Lin Tian said, "You don''t need to worry about what martial arts I practice, all you need to know is that I can help you." "Huh?" Wang Chao looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression but did not continue to ask when he saw Lin Tian did not want to discuss it, instead saying, "When will you be free to stop by the Sanda Club? We should work together first, after all, I don''t know exactly how skilled you are." Wang Chao was desperate this time when he asked Lin Tian for help, likening it to treating a dead horse as if it were alive; if he could not find any other solution, the members of the Sanda Club would all leave. It was with an attitude of giving it a try that Wang Chao had invited Lin Tian. However, he was not entirely sure about Lin Tian''s martial skills. The only thing Wang Chao knew was the performance Lin Tian did the first time they met, where he caught the wooden block with his hand. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian''s performance was frightening, but how formidable he truly was could only be known by trying it out in person. That way, Wang Chao could be certain. Knowing he was unsure about his abilities, Lin Tian was not surprised and said after thinking, "How about tomorrow? I''ll make time to stop by then. I definitely won''t have time tonight." "Why won''t you have time tonight? You can do it tonight!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, Shen Mengyi immediately chimed in. Lin Tian turned to look at her in surprise, "Aren''t we going for late-night snacks?" "What late-night snacks? We''re not hungry yet, let''s go to the Sanda Club first, then we can come back!" Shen Yiran''s eyes twinkled with faint excitement. Seeing Shen Yiran''s eagerness, Lin Tian was speechless and then turned his gaze to Shen Mengyi. Noticing Lin Tian''s inquiring look, Shen Mengyi hesitated before responding, "Since Yiran wants to watch so badly, let''s go today." "Alright then!" Seeing both girls agree, Lin Tian naturally had no objections. He then turned to Wang Chao, "I''m free tonight; we might as well go." "Fine, no problem, everyone will be there at the club tonight anyway," Wang Chao nodded. Straightaway, the group made their way toward the Sanda Club. As Lin Tian and his group approached the Sanda Club, the place was already bustling inside. S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Easily four or five dozen people stood in the training area chatting, making it very lively. "Why hasn''t President Wang arrived yet, wasn''t it supposed to be at seven?" "Exactly, the time has come, but he himself hasn''t shown up." "He''s never been late before; wonder what''s up today." "He must be worried about the challenge from the Taekwondo Club tomorrow." As soon as the Taekwondo Club got mentioned, the scene became even livelier. "Those guys are quite formidable, and even the president is no match for them." "They are pretty strong, and their moves are quite cool, too. The Taekwondo Club has many pretty girls, eh? Should we go over?" ``` "I don''t want to go there; I''m staying right here. Just seeing those sticks makes me sick." "Not many people are left here now, the numbers have dwindled over these past few days. If more people leave, I might as well go too; it''s not lively here anymore." "Ah, back when we were hundreds strong, we were so imposing, but now..." "There''s nothing we can do; we can''t beat him, he''s just better!" "Wang Chao used to boast about how great he was, but when it came down to it, he went soft! Useless," someone said with a tone of dissatisfaction. "Well, it''s more like the other side is too strong!" another person defended. By this time, Lin Tian and his group had already been standing at the door for a while, overhearing everything these people were saying. Hearing their discussion, especially the latter remarks, Wang Chao''s face turned extremely ugly. Taking a deep breath, Wang Chao coughed loudly and then stepped out. Following Wang Chao''s cough, everyone in the room fell silent and turned their heads towards the door, spotting Wang Chao instantly. "The club president is here?" "Club President Wang..." Voices filled the room, greeting him all at once. After exchanging greetings with a few individuals, Wang Chao walked over, glanced at them, and then said loudly, "I know you''re all pissed off these days! I am too! After all, we were beaten without the slightest chance to fight back! You''re pissed, and so am I!" Pausing, Wang Chao saw that everyone''s eyes were on him, and then he continued, "But rest assured, today I''ve brought in an expert. I believe you''ve all heard about the incident a few days ago at the fourth school gate. And now, I''ve invited that student over. He has agreed to help us." "For real? The one who fought against over a dozen people by himself? He really came?" "If it is really him, should we be able to beat the Taekwondo Club tomorrow? Where is he?" Hearing Wang Chao''s words, everyone in the room looked towards him, immediately ruling out the five people behind him whom they knew, then the two girls, since they couldn''t be it, leaving their gaze to settle on Lin Tian. "Him?" "Really?" Seeing Lin Tian, some voices of disappointment arose from the crowd. Because Lin Tian''s appearance wasn''t quite what they had imagined. He had a gentle face, even slightly baby-faced. He wasn''t tall either, not even reaching 1.8 meters (5 feet 11 inches). Besides, the clothes Lin Tian wore didn''t flatter his physique at all. He looked rather thin and weak. Lin Tian''s image was quite different from the expert they had envisioned. "Is he up for it? I feel like I could lift him with one hand!" said a tall, muscular man, nearly 1.9 meters tall, as he stared at Lin Tian skeptically. "Tank, don''t scare the kid. Be careful, or he might tear you apart!" "Exactly, don''t wet your pants when the time comes!" the crowd teased the muscular man incessantly. Even though they were joking, Lin Tian could clearly hear the mockery in their voices. The mockery directed at him. Annoyed, Lin Tian stepped forward and glanced at the crowd: "All of you come at me, I''ll take you on with one hand!" "Huh?" The crowd was taken aback by his words. After a moment of silence, the atmosphere suddenly erupted. "Kid, you''re pretty cocky!" "Yeah, need me to teach you a lesson?" Those who practiced martial arts were often hot-tempered. Hearing Lin Tian''s unfriendly tone, they were instantly enflamed. Chapter 157 All Together Now! Lin Tian knew that unless he fought them, they wouldn''t be convinced. With that in mind, he stepped forward, swept his gaze across the crowd, and said in a cold voice, "Stop the chit-chat. Anyone who doesn''t agree can come forward!""Fine. Let me come over and learn something from you!" The man who had started it all let out a sneer and walked out from the crowd. "Go to the competition area over there!" Wang Yan sized up Lin Tian from head to toe and said. On the other side was a ten by ten mat. "Let''s go!" Lin Tian didn''t dawdle and walked straight ahead. "Hey!" Just a few steps in, Lin Tian heard Shen Yiran''s voice from behind. "Hmm?" Lin Tian turned around with some confusion. After giving Wang Yan a quick glance and then looking back to Lin Tian, Shen Yiran asked with concern, "Are you sure you''re okay?" Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire Even though Shen Yiran really enjoyed watching this kind of competition, right now she was genuinely worried. It couldn''t be helped, the physical difference between the two men was just too great. Wang Yan was one meter ninety, and his muscles bulged like hard rocks. Lin Tian, on the other hand, seemed somewhat skinny; standing next to each other, they looked like an adult beside a child. Shen Yiran even thought Wang Yan''s arm was thicker than Lin Tian''s thigh. The stark difference in their builds made Shen Yiran truly worried that Lin Tian might get hurt. Noticing Shen Yiran''s worried expression, Lin Tian paused, then his face broke into a reassuring smile, and he said with ease, "Don''t worry, dealing with him won''t take ten seconds!" "Hmph!" Lin Tian''s words were naturally heard by Wang Yan, who let out an annoyed snort. He didn''t say anything, but resolved internally to teach Lin Tian a lesson later, to put a stop to his arrogance. After saying a word to Shen Yiran, Lin Tian then turned and walked onto the mat where the competition was to take place. The two stood ready, with Lin Tian looking up at the taller man and smiling relaxedly, "You make the first move!" "Fine! I won''t hold back then!" Wang Yan didn''t refuse, his eyes narrowed, and he stepped forward, throwing a punch directly at Lin Tian''s abdomen! He had been itching to teach Lin Tian a lesson! Whoosh! Wang Yan''s fist was very large, like a casserole pot! The huge fist viciously struck towards Lin Tian''s abdomen. Witnessing the scene, the onlooking Shen Yiran held her breath, her face filled with tension. Watching the fist howling towards him, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly. Without moving his body, he suddenly reached out his right hand and, with a snap, grabbed Wang Yan''s wrist. Immovable! Wang Yan''s advancing fist suddenly stopped; his wrist was firmly caught by Lin Tian. "Huh?" Wang Yan was surprised, and then tried to pull back, but he couldn''t budge at all. Lin Tian''s grip on his hand was like two iron pincers, securely locking it in place. With a smiling gaze at him, Lin Tian said, "Is this all the strength you have? I''m really disappointed!" With that, he gently released his hand. As Lin Tian let go, several red finger marks appeared on Wang Yan''s wrist¡ªthose were the spots where Lin Tian had grabbed him. Angered by Lin Tian''s words, Wang Yan felt furious. Not wanting to hurt Lin Tian with one blow, Wang Yan had only used a third of his strength, only to be easily subdued by Lin Tian. This irked him. Although Lin Tian''s strength had surprised him, Wang Yan didn''t believe that Lin Tian, even at full strength, could match him. Putting aside his contempt, Wang Yan retracted his hand and, with a loud shout, threw another powerful punch towards Lin Tian''s chest! He did not hold back this punch at all! Whoosh! The enormous fist came howling in. Smack! Lin Tian''s hand moved to block it! He parried the punch straight back! Whoosh! But it wasn''t over yet; just as Lin Tian had parried that punch, another one zoomed toward Lin Tian''s head. Smack! Lin Tian blocked again! Whoosh! A leg, with the force of a strong wind, whistled towards Lin Tian''s waist. Lin Tian lightly lifted his foot, thud, their legs clashed. Lin Tian blocked again Whoosh! Wang Yan''s attacks were fierce and fast, but Lin Tian''s movements were not slow. Up until now, Lin Tian had only used one hand, yet he seemed to block with ease. Continuous attacks proved ineffective, and Wang Yan''s face turned red with exertion, his eyes bulging slightly, but Lin Tian remained calm, hardly even moving his feet. Smack, he blocked Wang Yan''s punch once more, and Lin Tian lifted his head to look at Wang Yan''s reddened face and said with an easy smile, "If that''s all the strength and speed you have, then I''m sorry!" Having said that, Lin Tian squinted his eyes, moved forward swiftly, ducked, and in an instant, his body was right within Wang Yan''s embrace. Close to Wang Yan, Lin Tian''s shoulder gave a gentle shake. Pop! Wang Yan felt a tremendous force on his chest, whoosh, and suddenly, his body soared into the air, flying three meters away before crashing heavily on the soft mat. Silence! The venue fell completely silent! Watching Wang Yan on the ground, Lin Tian turned his head and said with a smile to Shen Yiran, "It hasn''t been ten seconds yet, right?" By this time, Shen Yiran had already widened her eyes, her small face full of disbelief. And it was not only Shen Yiran, the other onlookers also had their eyes wide open. Unexpected! The outcome completely defied their expectations. They originally thought Wang Yan should be able to put up a good fight against Lin Tian, and even if he couldn''t win, he shouldn''t have lost so quickly. Wang Yan lost too fast, too easily; the result was totally unexpected. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. In an instant, everyone''s gaze towards Lin Tian lost the disdain they had at the start. Wang Chao was also surprised. He had previously guessed that Lin Tian might have some skills, but he never thought Lin Tian would defeat Wang Yan so effortlessly. Even he himself wouldn''t have had such an easy time. After a moment of shock, Wang Chao, feeling an itch in his hands, shouted, "I want to try!" Saying this, Wang Chao stepped forward and walked directly onto the mat. Meanwhile, Wang Yan had also recovered, getting up and leaving the mat. Glancing at Wang Chao, Lin Tian nodded nonchalantly: "Fine, make your move!" "Hu!" Taking a deep breath, shaking his body a little, Wang Chao then looked at Lin Tian with a solemn face. After gazing intently for a while, Wang Chao suddenly let out a loud shout and kicked upwards! Whoosh! Wang Chao''s kick was very fast, even faster than Wang Yan''s speed! But this speed did not faze Lin Tian; he blocked it casually. Smack! Immediately followed another kick, aimed straight at the chest! Fast! Fast! Wang Chao''s speed was clearly a notch above Wang Yan''s. Smack, smack! As Lin Tian blocked consistently, he said calmly to Wang Yan, "Don''t try to compete with me for speed!" After speaking, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and his hand struck quickly towards Wang Chao''s chest! Boom, boom! Lin Tian''s hands were too fast, and at the beginning, Wang Chao could still put up some resistance, but in just a few seconds, he could no longer keep up. Lin Tian''s punches and palms struck Wang Chao''s chest rapidly. It was like the Wing Chun style. Boom, boom! Wang Chao''s body, struck repeatedly, involuntarily retreated, and smack! Eventually, Wang Chao fell to the ground. Whoosh! Wang Chao lay there, gasping heavily. He was tense; he had been so nervous that he couldn''t even keep his breathing steady, but it was useless. After a glance at Wang Chao, Lin Tian felt a surge of excitement. He reached out and took off his shirt, revealing his solid muscles. Tossing the white shirt in his hand aside, Lin Tian stretched out his hand and slowly swept it over the crowd, pointing at several faces: "All of you, come at once!" Chapter 158 Encounter "Everyone, attack together!"Lin Tian''s loud shout stunned everyone. Seeing the crowd in a daze, Lin Tian shouted again, "What are you standing around for? Come at me!" After a moment of confusion, someone roared angrily, "Everyone attack together, I refuse to believe we can''t beat him with so many of us!" "Right, let''s go!" "Charge!" With the angry cries rising, every member of the Sanda club dressed in white training attire rushed towards Lin Tian, surging forward like a tide. Seeing this scene, Shen Yiran and her sister were dumbfounded. Seeing forty or fifty people charging at him, a spark of excitement flashed in Lin Tian''s eyes. "Heh!" Suddenly, Lin Tian let out a loud yell and, whoosh, struck with a kick in an instant! Bang! Lin Tian''s kick landed directly on someone''s abdomen, sending the person flying backward instantly, crashing into four or five others behind him. But after four or five people were knocked down, even more continued to rush at Lin Tian. "Yah!" Lin Tian roared in anger, his hands and feet moving rapidly, and with every swing, two or three more would fall to the ground! Lin Tian was quick, but there were too many people, too close together, and eventually, Lin Tian was grabbed by more than a dozen people, looking from afar as though many people were glommed onto him. "Push him down!" Clinging tightly to Lin Tian''s arm, Wang Yan roared. "Use your strength!" Immediately, everyone strained to bring Lin Tian down to the ground. Lin Tian took a deep breath, his muscles tensed and coiled, and suddenly, he let out a thunderous shout! "Yah!" Accompanied by the shout, Lin Tian''s body shook violently. Whoosh whoosh! In an instant, all the people clinging onto Lin Tian were shaken off, as if he were shaking off ants from his body. "Whew!" Letting out a long breath, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and then quickly stepped forward, releasing a flying kick. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire Bang! A standing person was kicked down by Lin Tian. Clap clap! Lin Tian moved quickly, leaping and shifting, and within seconds everyone that was still standing was knocked down. Lin Tian looked around and saw no one else could get up. "Awesome!" Seeing this scene, Lin Tian shouted in satisfaction. Exhilarating! This time, Lin Tian had a truly exhilarating fight. Since possessing the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian had never vented in such a thrilling way before. Awesome! This feeling of being drenched in sweat was awesome. Of course, Lin Tian had still held back a bit this time; if he had used his full strength, one kick could have killed a person, which was obviously not something he could do. Because Lin Tian had restrained some of his power, he too was now bruised and battered, sporting some minor external injuries, but he didn''t care. This kind of venting felt great for Lin Tian. Looking at Lin Tian, who was laughing loudly, and then at the people lying down at his feet, Shen Yiran swallowed and murmured in disbelief, "Freak... Freak!" Freak! Such a freak, indeed! Forty or fifty people, that many people fighting against him alone, and yet it was those people who were down, with Lin Tian standing till the end. Lin Tian had controlled his strength very well; after resting for a while, all the members of the Sanda club who were lying on the ground got back up. Everyone had sustained only minor superficial injuries. At that time, everyone''s gaze towards Lin Tian no longer had a trace of contempt, their eyes filled with surprise and shock, and also respect. Damn! To be unharmed, that''s too exaggerated! Many were filled with doubts in their hearts! Lin Tian''s performance today was truly surprising. Far too exaggerated.

Wang Chao stared blankly at Lin Tian, then walked over, patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, and said seriously, "I''m sure now, the Taekwondo and Karate guys coming tomorrow will definitely leave with their tails between their legs." "That''s right! Haha!" Lin Tian laughed heartily, feeling much better after his outburst, then turned around, bent down, and picked up his clothes from the ground to put them back on. After chatting with the Sanda club members for a while and amidst their reluctant farewells, Lin Tianyi and the Shen sisters left the Sanda club and prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat barbecue. Half an hour later, Shen Yiran, while nibbling on a skewer of lamb, looked up at Lin Tian excitedly and exclaimed, "Lin Tian, you don''t know how cool you were just now, that pose, even I was mesmerized." "What, you like me now too?" Hearing this, Lin Tian put down the grilled tofu in his hand and looked at Shen Yiran seriously, "But it''s normal for you to like me, you know, I often wake up from being too handsome in my sleep; I sometimes dare not look in the mirror, afraid of being knocked out by my own dashing appearance. Ah, it''s a sin to be too handsome!" Saying this, Lin Tian slightly lowered his head, hand propping his forehead, pretending to be troubled. Seeing Lin Tian like this, Shen Yiran was speechless and gently patted his shoulder while laughing tenderly, "Who knew, you''re actually quite humorous!" "Humorous?" Lin Tian looked up at her seriously, "I''m not joking, don''t you feel mesmerized by such a handsome guy?" Saying that, Lin Tian flicked his head in a feigned carefree manner. "Ugh... I feel sick!" Shen Yiran stuck out her tongue and made a retching gesture. "Forget it, I won''t bother with you, it''s no fun!" Lin Tian pursed his lips and picked up the grilled tofu from his plate, taking a big bite. Looking at Lin Tian, Shen Yiran propped her chin and said with a smile, "Actually, from the side, you do look kind of handsome! I''m feeling a little bit of a crush." "A crush?" Lin Tian took a large bite of tofu, turned his head, and said vaguely, "If you''re smitten, then take action, I don''t mind adding you to my harem!" "Get lost! What about my sister!" Shen Yiran kicked Lin Tian''s foot directly. "Your sister?" Lin Tian turned his head to look at Shen Mengyi, who was quietly eating, and chuckled, "Your sister can join too, sister flowers are great!" "Get out!" Hearing this, Shen Mengyi, who was sitting beside them, couldn''t hold back anymore and threw a tissue from the table at Lin Tian. Watching the tissue come flying, Lin Tian caught it, placed it on the table, and said with a smile, "All right, no more jokes, eat up or it''ll get cold!" Having said that, Lin Tian grabbed another piece of grilled leeks. "Lin Tian..." Just as he took a bite, a familiar voice suddenly reached Lin Tian''s ears. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled, looked up, and was somewhat taken aback. Bu Mengting! It was Bu Mengting and her roommates, who had also come out to have a late-night snack. Chapter 159 Beauty, are you looking for me? Seeing Bu Mengting, Lin Tian was really stunned and felt somewhat guilty.Flirting with someone when your girlfriend catches you, how could you not feel guilty? sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I wonder if Mengting saw anything just now?" Lin Tian thought guiltily! But seeing the surprise on Bu Mengting''s face, it was clear she was also surprised to find herself here. Seeing the expression on Bu Mengting''s face, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Mengting, are you here for some late-night food too?" "Yes, with my roommate. And this is¡­" Bu Mengting nodded, then her gaze shifted toward Shen Mengyi and her sister standing next to Lin Tian, a puzzled look in her eyes. Noticing Bu Mengting''s gaze, Lin Tian smiled awkwardly and started to explain, "Uh, this is Shen Mengyi, the president of the broadcasting club. She was the judge when I participated in the Youth Charm contest last time. This is her sister." He then introduced Shen Yiran. After introducing both, Lin Tian hesitated for a moment, then introduced Bu Mengting to them, "This is my girlfriend, Bu Mengting." "What?" The Shen sisters were obviously stunned upon hearing this. After a moment, Shen Mengyi snapped back to reality and nodded politely, "Hello." "Yeah, hello!" Bu Mengting smiled and nodded, then turned to look at her roommate not far away and smiled, "You guys chat; I''m going to go over there. Lin Tian, remember to call me tonight!" While walking away, Bu Mengting specifically made a point of it. "What? Oh!" Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian quickly nodded. At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Did she find out something? Otherwise why would she specifically remind me to call her tonight¡­" Hearing Bu Mengting tell him to call her at night, Lin Tian felt truly guilty. "I''m off, bye!" Flashing a sweet smile at the three, Bu Mengting then turned and left. After Bu Mengting left, Shen Yiran immediately puffed her cheeks, hands on her hips, glaring at Lin Tian and shouted, "So, you actually have a girlfriend!" "I never said I didn''t have a girlfriend!" Lin Tian laughed awkwardly. "Then you''re chasing my sister!" Shen Yiran accused angrily. "I''m not¡­" Lin Tian defended. "Not yet! You¡­" "Alright, enough, Yi ran, let''s go!" Shen Mengyi cut off Shen Yiran''s words, her face cold as she stood up to leave. "Hmph!" Before leaving, Shen Yiran glared fiercely at Lin Tian, then stood up and left as well. "Eh¡­" Lin Tian looked at the table full of barbecue, speechless. "Played too much?" Lin Tian pursed his lips. Shrugging helplessly, he muttered, "If you don''t eat, fine. I''ll eat by myself!" Five minutes later, Lin Tian put down the lamb skewer in his hand, his face helpless. Eating this stuff alone really doesn''t appeal to the appetite; it''s tasteless. Having no other choice, Lin Tian decided to take the food to go. Carrying the takeaway barbecue, Lin Tian returned to the dormitory and shared the barbecue with his roommates. The moment they saw the barbecue Lin Tian brought, they devoured it, constantly praising how delicious it was! Lin Tian propped his chin with his hand, his face expressionless as he watched them. Just as he was considering whether to wash up, a ding sounded! A synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super Chain Task: The eighth minor task. Appear next to Shen Mengyi within 100 seconds. Task Reward: One Supernatural Point. Task Failure: Minus two Supernatural Points. Note: This task must be completed within 100 seconds. Failure to complete within the stipulated time will be considered a failure." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled, and without another word, he hurriedly ran downstairs. Who cares about brushing teeth right now? Completing the task is what matters! Arriving under the girls'' dormitory, Lin Tian looked up and saw a flickering red light in the dormitory¡ªthat was the red light flashing on Shen Mengyi. Shen Mengyi had clearly already returned to the dormitory. Pinpointing Shen Mengyi''s location, Lin Tian was about to run over, but after a few steps, he paused, thinking of something! Going up like this definitely won''t work; I''ll be discovered! In an unoccupied corner, Lin Tian turned invisible, then quickly ran over and jumped in front of the dormitory! ** In the girls'' dormitory, Shen Mengyi''s room now had only her inside, while her other three roommates had not yet returned. At that moment, Shen Mengyi was sitting at her desk, head down, scribbling something in a notebook while mumbling quietly. "It''s all your fault, you jerk!" Shen Mengyi held a pen and heavily poked at a stick figure drawn in the notebook. The draft notebook on Shen Mengyi''s desk featured a caricature, with the body labeled with the name ''Lin Tian.'' "It''s you! It''s you! You jerk!" Shen Mengyi jabbed the pen heavily onto the stick figure''s body, her face full of anger. "Hmph! Does it hurt now? Serves you right! I''ll poke! I''ll poke! How dare you deceive me? I''ll poke you to death! I''ll poke you to death!" Shen Mengyi jabbed hard at the stick figure on the paper. "What? Begging for mercy now? Useless! Hmph! This miss is angry! Begging won''t help!" Mengyi mumbled to herself as she fiercely dotted her doll with a pen. "Hmph! Useless, whatever you say is useless. Alright, considering your sincerity, I''ll give you another chance. If you appear in front of me within 100 seconds, I''ll forgive you!" "I''m starting to count now, 1, 2, 3...60." When Mengyi reached 60, Lin Tian, who was invisible, had already climbed in from the windowsill. However, Lin Tian was very careful not to make a sound. Then Lin Tian tiptoed to Mengyi''s back. The moment Lin Tian reached behind Mengyi, he paused, and a synthesized electronic voice echoed in his mind, "Super Serial Task No. Eight - Reaching Mengyi''s side within a hundred seconds is complete, rewarded with one Superpower Point." Upon hearing this, Lin Tian sighed with relief inside, realizing that the task could also be completed without dispelling his invisibility. Having completed the task, Lin Tian relaxed and carefully peeked at the notebook on her desk. Soon, Lin Tian saw the drawing of a little figure in the notebook, saw ''Lin Tian'' written in big characters on it, and saw the little dots poked on this figure. "Lin Tian, 89...90!" Meanwhile, Mengyi was still counting, and when she reached ninety, her voice paused for a moment. Then she spoke with a slightly disappointed tone: "Alright, since you didn''t appear, you''ve wasted your opportunity. I won''t forgive you! Hmph, I was actually going to give you a chance!" Despite saying this, the disappointment in Mengyi''s tone couldn''t be hidden. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s eyes flickered, he chuckled, suddenly dispelled his invisibility, and patted Mengyi''s shoulder, "Beauty, were you looking for me?" The sudden sound from behind startled Mengyi, she shrieked, and quickly turned around. As she turned around, she instantly saw Lin Tian. She pointed at him somewhat dumbfounded: "You, how are you here?" "Me? Weren''t you the one who asked me to come over?" Lin Tian chuckled. "No, you, how did you suddenly appear here!" Mengyi looked at Lin Tian, utterly astonished. "I told you, you called me over!" Lin Tian shrugged. "I''m asking how you got in without making any noise!" Taking a deep breath, Mengyi stared intensely at Lin Tian. At that moment, she was genuinely nervous and scared. Weird, too weird! She remembered clearly, there was no one in her dorm room, but how did Lin Tian suddenly show up, as if he appeared out of thin air? Could it be... Suddenly, Mengyi thought of the strange incident she had encountered in the bathroom that day. "How did I get in?" Lin Tian glanced around, then pointed to the balcony: "Naturally, I climbed in from there." "Balcony?" Noting the direction Lin Tian pointed, Mengyi was startled. He climbed in from the balcony? After pausing for a moment, Mengyi said with doubt, "This is the third floor, how did you climb in!" "What''s impossible for others doesn''t mean it''s impossible for me!" Lin Tian chuckled. "Uh..." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Mengyi was taken aback. When she thought about it carefully, considering Lin Tian''s performance in the kickboxing club, it really was possible for him to have climbed in from the balcony. After a pause, coming back to her senses, Mengyi then exclaimed, "What are you doing here? Get out now!" "Leave, why? Wasn''t it someone who called me here just now." Lin Tian chuckled. "That, that wasn''t!" Mengyi''s face turned red. "Wasn''t it?" Lin Tian chuckled, took a step forward, and then quickly grabbed the notebook from the table. "Hey, what are you doing!" Seeing Lin Tian''s action, Mengyi was shocked, and immediately tried to snatch the notebook from Lin Tian''s hand. But she couldn''t match Lin Tian''s speed; he quickly snatched the notebook. Lin Tian glanced over the notebook, turned it around, pointed at the little figure, and grinned, "Who is this?" "Hmph!" Mengyi snorted and turned her head away, ignoring Lin Tian. "You like me, don''t you!" Lin Tian grinned. "Pfft! Who likes you, don''t daydream. Even if I liked cats and dogs, I wouldn''t like someone as fickle as you, you big liar!" Mengyi glared at Lin Tian. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire "Is that so?" Lin Tian smiled slightly, stepped forward slowly, closing in on Mengyi! Noticing Lin Tian''s movement, Mengyi took a small step back, looking at Lin Tian with a wary expression: "What are you doing?" Lin Tian didn''t say anything, just approached with a smile. "Don''t come any closer, or I''ll call for help!" Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t stop, Mengyi threatened. "Oh, what''s that?" Suddenly, Lin Tian looked surprised, pointing behind Mengyi. Lin Tian''s expression was so convincing, Mengyi instinctively turned her head to look. Nothing! There was nothing behind her. Realizing she was tricked, Mengyi quickly turned back. Chapter 160 Arrival After kissing for a long while, Lin Tian finally gently released Shen Mengyi,"Phew, I''m exhausted. Oh right, I wonder what Mengyi is up to?" Just then, a voice came from outside, getting closer and closer. Upon hearing this voice, Shen Mengyi was startled, and then snapped back from her daze, urging Lin Tian anxiously, "You need to go, my roommate is back!" "Ah, oh!" Lin Tian was startled for a moment, then turned around to leave. However, after walking a few steps, Lin Tian suddenly stopped, turned around, and quickly went back to Shen Mengyi, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. Having done all this, Lin Tian then swiftly turned and ran towards the balcony. "Phew!" Lin Tian got up and jumped straight off the balcony. "Squeak~!" At that moment, the dormitory door also happened to open. Seeing Shen Mengyi looking a bit tense, her roommate asked in surprise, "Mengyi, what are you doing standing here with your face all flushed? You weren''t doing something indecent, were you?" "What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes at her, then gently touched the spot on her forehead where Lin Tian had just kissed and muttered under her breath with her head slightly lowered, "Jerk! You''ll pay for this!" Despite her words, however, the sweetness and shyness in Shen Mengyi''s tone couldn''t be hidden. ** Phew! With a thud, Lin Tian''s body landed on the ground. Once on the ground, he crouched down, quickly glanced around, and upon realizing that no one had noticed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was quite late; if it had been daytime, Lin Tian might have been discovered. After checking his surroundings again and making sure no one had seen him, Lin Tian got up, brushed off the grass from his clothes, and walked towards the male dormitory. Back in his room, Lin Tian immediately noticed that there were two missed calls on his phone, which was left on the desk. When he checked, he realized they were from Bu Mengting. Seeing the calls, Lin Tian was startled and then called back. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire "Hello? Mengting. Yeah, I was about to sleep, are you back in your dorm? Ah? It''s nothing, just a normal friend," Lin Tian said with an awkward laugh. Just now, Bu Mengting had asked about Shen Mengyi! "Just a normal friend? I don''t think so," came Bu Mengting''s doubting voice over the phone. "Really, just a normal friend, you''re overthinking it," said Lin Tian awkwardly, and then he stepped out of the dormitory, taking the phone call into the hallway. "Whether I''m overthinking or not, you know best. Don''t treat me like a fool, okay. And about you and Teacher He, I haven''t even talked to you about that yet!" Bu Mengting''s voice came through the phone, sounding a bit unhappy. "He, Teacher He?" Hearing this, Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat, and a rush of nervousness surged within him. After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian then laughed, "What Teacher He? I don''t know what you''re talking about." "Cut it out, stop pretending. He Qianqian, Teacher He! You''re still playing dumb with me. Let me tell you, I''ve seen the communication records with her in your phone a long time ago. I''ve always known about your relationship, I just never brought it up," Bu Mengting said calmly through the phone. "Uh..." Lin Tian was stunned. After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian didn''t know what to say and fell silent. Bu Mengting also didn''t say anything, and the two of them were silent. After a long silence, Lin Tian said with a low voice, "Mengting, I..." "I don''t care what you do, you''ll have to choose sooner or later, it''s either me or her! I hope it won''t take too long. Also, stop messing with other girls during this time." After saying that, Bu Mengting hung up the phone with a snap. "..." Staring at the phone as it emitted a beeping tone, Lin Tian was speechless. Lin Tian''s face was somber, his brows deeply furrowed, appearing quite agitated. The cat was out of the bag! Ever since Lin Tian started juggling two relationships, he had anticipated that this day might come. But Lin Tian had always been evading, escaping, not wanting to deal with this issue. He could say he was afraid of this very thing. But, but the day still arrived. "Damn!" Cursing under his breath, Lin Tian took a deep breath, his face full of annoyance. He had wanted to sleep, but at this moment, Lin Tian was in no mood for sleep anymore. After a moment of thought, he turned and walked downstairs. He needed to be alone to clear his mind. At night, the Wu''an campus was no longer as hot as it was during the day, and cool breezes blew from time to time. If it were any other time, Lin Tian might have enjoyed this feeling, but now he was completely out of the mood. With his hands in his pockets and his head slightly bowed, Lin Tian wandered aimlessly around the campus, pondering the issue in his mind. He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, He Qianqian, Bu Mengting... Both names kept circling in his mind. He was thinking about a solution to the dilemma. He Qianqian was someone he really liked, his past goddess. Since the first glance at her, Lin Tian had been somewhat captivated by her. Bu Mengting... She was cute, and a little bit mischievous. She was also Lin Tian''s type. He liked them both, wanted them both, but... When he reached this point, Lin Tian would purse his lips in frustration. How perfect it would be if he lived in ancient times where one could have multiple wives and concubines. But now... Thinking of the present, Lin Tian felt a headache coming on. He continued to walk aimlessly around the campus, thinking... After a while, Lin Tian had an idea. With that thought in mind, Lin Tian raised his head, silently making a resolution, "Let''s go with that, not sure if it will work though!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian temporarily suppressed the thought, knowing now was not the time to act on it. Thinking about the matter once more, Lin Tian shook off his thoughts and turned towards the dormitories. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was very late now, and he had to return or else the dormitory doors would be closed. The next day, after afternoon classes and dinner, Lin Tian headed to the Sanda Club alone. To Lin Tian''s surprise, upon arriving at the Sanda Club, he actually saw Shen Mengyi and her sister. He had thought that after yesterday''s incident, the two sisters might not come again, but there they were. "Lin Tian!" "Lin Tian!" On seeing Lin Tian, the chatting team members quickly gathered around him, greeting him warmly; their enthusiasm was palpable. All of this was because of Lin Tian''s performance yesterday that had impressed them. At this moment, everyone was confident. With Lin Tian there, they were certain they wouldn''t lose this time. After chatting with these people for over half an hour, suddenly, the room fell silent. The sudden quiet made Lin Tian startle, and he turned to look. As he turned his head, Lin Tian saw a beauty in white practice attire with a ponytail and a black belt wrapped around her waist come in, followed by a group of people in similar white practice attire. Seeing the newcomer, Wang Chao explained softly at his side, "That''s the president of the Taekwondo Club, Jin Yuewen, from Korea." As soon as he had finished speaking, another round of footsteps was heard. Hearing this sound, Lin Tian once again looked towards the door... Chapter 161 Who is he? Hearing footsteps outside the door, Lin Tian turned his head, and as he did so, he saw a man with a buzz cut, about six feet tall, stepping into the room at an easy pace.The man was also dressed in a white training uniform with a black belt wrapped around his waist, and behind him followed a crowd of people. Seeing the man, Wang Chao explained in a low voice, "This person is the president of the Karate Club, a Japanese man named Yamamoto Junichi. I heard he''s a black belt with nine dans and highly skilled. Lin Tian nodded slightly without saying a word. As these two groups entered, the place fell silent. The scene was clearly divided into three distinct groups. Sanda, Karate, Taekwondo. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jin Yuewen bowed slightly to Wang Chao and announced loudly, "The Taekwondo Club has come to challenge!" At the same time, Yamamoto Junichi also bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle and declared loudly, "The Karate Club has come to seek guidance!" Glancing at these two, Wang Chao''s expression turned somewhat ugly; having been humiliated by repeated challenges to his door, he was certainly irritated. But this time, you''re going to be embarrassed. With that thought, Wang Chao turned his head to glance at Lin Tian beside him. Noting Wang Chao''s gaze, Lin Tian nodded slightly, indicating no problem. Seeing Lin Tian nod, Wang Chao said loudly to Jin Yuewen and the others, "Let''s not beat around the bush. I know what you''re all about, you want to poach my club''s members. That''s normal, it''s because we''re not as good. No more nonsense, let''s just start!" Hearing Wang Chao being so forthright, Jin Yuewen and Yamamoto Junichi were both taken aback; Wang Chao seemed quite different today, his aura seemed much stronger. What was the reason? Thinking this, both of them turned their gaze to Lin Tian, who was beside Wang Chao. They had noticed Wang Chao whispering something to Lin Tian just before. Could this be the expert Wang Chao had invited? They speculated in their minds, but still, neither of them took Lin Tian seriously. Because they were confident in their own martial techniques. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire Since Wang Chao was so straightforward, Jin Yuewen didn''t beat around the bush either, and after conferring briefly, they started the fight. Originally, Lin Tian had intended to go up and take down these people by himself. However, before Lin Tian had a chance to take the stage, Wang Yan of the Sanda Club leaped up. Since losing to Jin Xuanjun of the Taekwondo Club last time, Wang Yan had been discontent and was looking to make a comeback, so he jumped up before Lin Tian had a chance to. He didn''t think he would get another chance once Lin Tian took to the stage. Wang Yan leaped onto the mat and pointed at a member of the Taekwondo Club, shouting, "You come here, I challenge you again this time!" Lin Tian followed the direction of Wang Yan''s finger and saw a man about six feet tall with a black belt among the Taekwondo Club members. Seeing Wang Yan pointing at him, Jin Xuanjun was taken aback, then a trace of disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Loser, you shouldn''t be on the stage!" Angered by these mocking words, Wang Yan glared with widened eyes, "Afraid, huh? Show some guts and get up here!" With a faint, almost imperceptible smile, Jin Xuanjun stepped forward, stood still in front of Wang Yan, and calmly said, "If you''re looking for a beating, I won''t be polite!" "Humph, cut the crap!" Wang Yan snorted coldly. The two exchanged formalities. After the formalities, Wang Yan narrowed his eyes and let out a shout, his fist as large as a casserole fiercely swung toward his opponent. Thump! Jin Xuanjun blocked it, and with a loud shout, kicked out! Bang! Wang Yan blocked with his elbow! Whoosh! But another kick was coming! Wang Yan blocked once more! Ya! Making a furious shout, Wang Yan charged forward¡­ Lin Tian watched the brawl from the sidelines, fascinated; both participants'' moves were fierce. Wang Yan was slow, but each punch he threw was powerful and heavy, while Jin Xuanjun was fast, and because he utilized leg attacks, his striking power was formidable as well. For a time, the two of them were evenly matched in their fight. However, gradually, Wang Yan began to struggle with defense, and in the end, even took a combination roundhouse kick from Jin Xuanjun. "Yah!" Jin Xuanjun let out an angry shout, a sweeping kick! Bang! Wang Yan''s body was kicked and sent flying by Jin Xuanjun, heavily falling onto the mat. "Phew!" With a long exhale, Jin Xuanjun, looking at Wang Yan before him, smiled and said, "Thanks for letting me win!" After speaking, Jin Xuanjun looked up at the Sanda Club members below and loudly said, "Welcome everyone to join the Taekwondo Club. Taekwondo is the number one martial art in the world, not these fancy tricks!" "Hey! What are you talking about? Our karate is the strong one here, okay?" "Exactly, exactly!" "What''s your karate compared to our Taekwondo? We are the real deal!" "Disagree? Come and have a match!" "Come on! Bring it on!" Suddenly, members of Taekwondo and karate started arguing with each other, and the reason for their quarrel was to compete for the members of the Sanda Club. Seeing this scene, Wang Chao''s face turned ugly, feeling completely disregarded. It was as if the Sanda Club members were already like meat on their chopping board. Lin Tian was also speechless at this scene; these two groups were quite arrogant, not taking the Sanda Club seriously at all. Thinking this, Lin Tian didn''t wait any longer and directly stepped forward. As Lin Tian moved, everyone fell silent, their gazes turning to Lin Tian. Stepping up to Jin Xuanjun, Lin Tian greeted him with a fist salute: "Sanda Club''s Lin Tian seeks advice." "Are you the expert they invited? I feel like I could kick you flying with one kick!" Jin Xuanjun scrutinized Lin Tian from head to toe, a look of disdain on his face. "Is that so? Looking forward to it!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. After a mutual salute and a quiet stare-down, suddenly, Jin Xuanjun shouted explosively, whooshing a kick at Lin Tian''s head. Watching the whooshing kick coming, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and swiftly extended his hand! Slap! Lin Tian firmly grabbed Jin Xuanjun''s ankle! Lin Tian''s fingers were like iron hoops, instantly rendering Jin Xuanjun''s leg immobile! "Huh?" Jin Xuanjun was taken aback, trying to pull his leg free, but it was utterly motionless. A slight smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips, his muscles on his hand tensed in an instant, and with a loud shout, he swung his hand! Whoosh! Lin Tian directly picked up Jin Xuanjun, holding him aloft with one hand! With Jin Xuanjun in hand, Lin Tian spun around and then abruptly let go. S§×arch* The ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Slap! Jin Xuanjun''s body whooshed through the air and thumped down onto the mat. Looking at Jin Xuanjun collapsed on the ground, the scene was dead silent. Fast! Incredibly fast! In front of Lin, Jin Xuanjun was as weak as a three-year-old child! After a moment of silence, cheers erupted from the Sanda Club members! "Fantastic! So awesome!" Everyone was visibly excited. The Sanda Club had always been outclassed by the Taekwondo Club, with frustrations they couldn''t vent, but Lin Tian, by grabbing the opponent''s leg and tossing him away so dominantly, was a sight that was incredibly satisfying. After a moment of astonishment, Jin Yuewen looked at Lin Tian and asked the person next to her in a low voice, "Who is he?" At the same time, on the other side, Yamamoto Junichi also watched Lin Tian with a serious look on his face and asked, "Who is he?" Chapter 162 Tackling Yamamoto Junichi and Jin Yuewen had ceased to look down on Lin Tian at this point.After all, Lin Tian''s performance just now had been too exaggerated, as he had grabbed Jin Xuanjun''s foot and flung him out, which was utterly unimaginable. Jin Yuewen and Yamamoto Junichi admitted to themselves they couldn''t do what he had done. Lin Tian glanced at the cheering from the Sanda Club below and looked at the silent Taekwondo Club and Karate Club, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Lin Tian slowly extended his finger towards Jin Yuewen and then pointed at Yamamoto Junichi, speaking softly, "You, come together!" Silence! Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, the scene fell silent once again. A challenge! Lin Tian was challenging the heads of both the Taekwondo Club and Karate Club at the same time! Unable to tolerate Lin Tian''s contemptuous tone, Yamamoto Junichi approached Lin Tian with heavy steps, his face grim as he said, "Yamamoto Junichi seeks guidance." After speaking, Yamamoto Junichi bowed. Lin Tian glanced at him and then turned his gaze towards Jin Yuewen. He was obviously calling for Jin Yuewen to join in! Noticing Lin Tian''s gesture, Yamamoto Junichi, somewhat annoyed, shouted loudly, "I alone am enough!" Seeing that Jin Yuewen had no intention of joining, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, gave Yamamoto Junichi a look, and said calmly, "Then attack!" Without declining, Yamamoto Junichi bowed deeply, took a deep breath, and with a loud shout, dashed towards Lin Tian, aiming a punch at his head. The punch was both fast and fierce! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, he stepped forward quickly, and bellowed, "Ha!" As he shouted, Lin Tian''s body twisted rapidly, dodging Yamamoto Junichi''s punch like lightning, and at the same time, he swung his own punch! Bang! Lin Tian landed a fierce punch in Yamamoto Junichi''s abdomen! Instantly, Yamamoto Junichi felt a tremendous force in his abdomen! Bang! Yamamoto Junichi felt as if his abdomen had been hit by a train and was violently flung backwards! His body crashed heavily onto the mat! The scene was completely silent; everyone''s eyes were wide open. Unexpected, the result was completely unexpected. Everyone had thought Yamamoto Junichi might not be a match for Lin Tian, but no one had ever imagined that Yamamoto Junichi wouldn''t last even one move against Lin Tian! Keep in mind that Yamamoto Junichi had been capable of defeating Wang Chao effortlessly! Everyone was somewhat dazed as they watched, some in disbelief... Lying on the ground, Yamamoto Junichi felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and couldn''t get up for a long time. He sensed the surrounding silence and knew what everyone was thinking! Yamamoto Junichi''s face flushed, and he struggled to stand up again, unable to accept he hadn''t withstood even a single move! He wanted to counterattack! "Ah!" Yamamoto Junichi, face flushed, charged at Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes, and he swiftly kicked up his foot! Bang, a solid kick landed on Yamamoto Junichi''s chest, and he was once again propelled backwards, his body crashing heavily onto the mat. This time he truly couldn''t get up. After a cold glance at him, Lin Tian looked up towards Jin Yuewen. Jin Yuewen''s expression was very solemn, she stared intently at Lin Tian for a while, then bowed deeply, waved her hand, and turned to leave with her team. Seeing the other party walk away directly, Lin Tianyi was stunned, as this was quite unexpected for him. At this moment, Yamamoto Junichi also recovered his strength, standing up with the help of the members of the Karate Club. He glanced at Lin Tian, opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but in the end, he said nothing and turned away. With the departure of the Karate Club members, cheers erupted from the audience. Just as Yamamoto Junichi left, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind: "Task: Fulfill Shen Yiran''s wish to defeat the foreign challenger has been completed, task reward one Supernatural Point." With this sound, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, the task was completed. Meanwhile, Lin Tian focused his attention on his Sea of Consciousness, scanning the Supernatural Points floating in the air and muttered to himself, "Another five Supernatural Points now." S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With the addition of one Supernatural Point, Lin Tian now had five Supernatural Points. While Lin Tian immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly, he was startled as he felt his body being lifted. Lin Tianyi was stunned, hurriedly withdrew his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness, and upon regaining his bearings, discovered that members of the Taekwondo Club were holding him up in the air! "Come on, one, two, three!" With a loud shout, Lin Tian''s body was tossed into the air by the members of the Taekwondo Club, everyone''s face filled with excitement. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire Today they had really let off some steam, marking their happiest day in two weeks. And Lin Tian had become their hero. After horsing around with the members of the Taekwondo Club, promising to come over and hang out more in the future, Lin Tian prepared to leave. The Shen sisters, Mengyi and Yiran, had left earlier due to some matters. Walking out of the Taekwondo Club, he looked up at the night sky. The weather was great today; the sky was cloudless, and the dark night sky sparkled with bright stars. It was quite beautiful. After looking up at the sky for a while, Lin Tian lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and dialed Bu Mengting''s number on his phone. "Beep beep..." The phone rang for a while and then connected. "Hello, Mengting?" Lin Tian said with a playful chuckle. "What do you want? Speak quickly if you have something to say!" Bu Mengting did not give Lin Tian a warm response. "Are you coming out? The weather is great. Let''s lie on the grass and watch the stars," Lin Tian chuckled mischievously. "No, not in the mood!" "Come on!" "No way!" "Ouch..." Suddenly, Lin Tian cried out in pain. "..." After hesitating for a moment upon not hearing Lin Tian speaking for a while, Bu Mengting holding her phone asked, "Hello? Are you alright? Don''t joke around with me, it''s not funny at all!" "Hello? Speak! What happened?" After waiting a while, still no sound from Lin Tian came through the phone, so Bu Mengting asked again. "I''m hanging up if you don''t speak now!" Bu Mengting threatened. After waiting a while longer without any response from Lin Tian, Bu Mengting really started to worry, "Hello? Are you alright? If you keep this up, I''m ignoring you!" "Hiss~!" At that moment, the sound of Lin Tian sharply inhaling came through the phone, followed by a somewhat pained voice: "I, I accidentally twisted my ankle, it hurts!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Bu Mengting breathed a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes, "Stop pretending! I''m not dealing with you!" "Ouch, it really hurts, I can''t walk, come over and check on me!" Lin Tian''s pained cry came through the phone. Bu Mengting was speechless for a moment but finally replied with some resignation, "Alright, where are you?" "I''m right beside the grass at Lotus Pond, I''ll wait for you, beautiful!" Hearing Bu Mengting relent, Lin Tian hehe chuckled, nowhere near the pained state he claimed to be in. "Fine, I''m coming now!" With an incredulous pursed lip, Bu Mengting hung up the phone. With a snap of the phone hanging up, Lin Tian chuckled mischievously, then trotted toward the grass near Lotus Pond. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian waited for Bu Mengting on the grass by Lotus Pond. Upon seeing Bu Mengting, Lin Tian tackled her to the ground, pinning her beneath him! Chapter 163 I Dare! "What are you doing, we''re at school!" Bu Mengting hurriedly pushed with her hands against Lin Tian, who was on top of her.Lin Tian, grinning, let go of Bu Mengting and let her lean against him, then bent down to give her a kiss. "Get off!" Pushing Lin Tian away, Bu Mengting sat up and rolled her eyes, "You always deceive me, claiming you sprained your ankle!" "You knew I was tricking you, yet you still came!" Lin Tian chuckled mischievously. "Who asked me to be poisoned by you!" Bu Mengting glared at Lin Tian and pouted her lips. "You are the best! I know Mengting treats me the best!" Lin Tian said with a smile that seemed to seek favor. "Stop it!" Bu Mengting turned her head away. After some playful banter and sweet talk from Lin Tian, Bu Mengting finally stopped giving him the cold shoulder and began to soften her attitude. Half an hour later, the two lay on the grass, with Bu Mengting''s head resting on Lin Tian''s chest, gazing at the pitch-black night sky and whispering, "Lin Tian..." "Hmm?" Lin Tian gently stroked Bu Mengting''s smooth hair and softly responded. "Why are you so lecherous..." Bu Mengting whispered quietly, and after finishing, somewhat annoyed, she lightly bit the muscle on Lin Tian''s chest. Lin Tian held back from crying out, pretending nothing had happened, and with a smile said, "It''s just a man''s nature!" "Then who do you choose between me and Miss He?" Bu Mengting released her bite on Lin Tian''s chest, looked up, and asked. "Hmm..." After a moment''s thought, Lin Tian replied with a playful grin, "I want both!" "In your dreams!" Hearing this, Bu Mengting sat up in a huff. "Uh..." Lin Tian sat up somewhat awkwardly, scratching his head. Find your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire After hesitating for a while, he reached out to put his arm around Bu Mengting''s shoulder. "Don''t touch me!" Bu Mengting slapped Lin Tian''s hand away directly. Sitting there somewhat awkwardly, Lin Tian hesitated a bit before asking, "Is there really no chance?" "What do you think!" Bu Mengting turned her head, looked at Lin Tian with an expressionless face, and after staring at him for a while, somewhat irritatedly she pointed at the Lotus Pond in front of them, "Fine, I''ll give you a chance. Jump in there and don''t come back up!" After glancing at the pitch-black Lotus Pond below and then back at Bu Mengting, Lin Tian didn''t say anything else and leaped to his feet and jumped! Splash! A splash sounded as Lin Tian plunged into the Lotus Pond. Seeing that Lin Tian really jumped, Bu Mengting was stunned. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After a moment of being stunned, Bu Mengting hurriedly stood up, looking somewhat nervously at the lake below. The dim lights allowed her to see calm waters below; Lin Tian hadn''t come up for air! Seeing this, Bu Mengting began to feel nervous. She had heard from upperclassmen that Lotus Pond was seven or eight meters at its deepest, and a girl had drowned there a few years earlier. Staring intently at the lake surface, Bu Mengting shouted, "Hey, Lin Tian!" Utter calmness! The lake below didn''t stir at all, as if no one had jumped into it. Taking a deep breath, Bu Mengting felt her heartbeat quickening. Even though she knew Lin Tian could swim, his current state truly worried her. After waiting a while and still seeing no movement on the water''s surface, by now nearly a minute had passed since Lin Tian had jumped. Bu Mengting grew genuinely concerned. Her face tense, she yelled at the lake, "Hey, come up, I forgive you!" Utter calmness! The water beneath was still serene. Seeing no response, Bu Mengting panicked, pacing back and forth on the grass a few times before turning her head and shouting at the lake again, "Come out, I promise I''ll agree to whatever you say!" "Splash!" Just as Bu Mengting finished speaking, a sound of water disrupted the silence, and Lin Tian''s head popped up from below. Lin Tian climbed out of the lake, looking at Bu Mengting and exclaimed, "You said it, you promised to agree to whatever I say." "You!" Seeing Lin Tian emerge drenched from the lake, Bu Mengting glared at him, tears suddenly welling up as she cried out, "You... you just love to bully me!" "What?" Seeing the tears in Bu Mengting''s eyes, Lin Tian panicked, hurriedly stepping forward to comfort her, "I''m sorry, so sorry, don''t cry, don''t cry!" "Do you know how worried I was just now!" Bu Mengting pounded on Lin Tian''s shoulder with her right hand. "Oh, sorry, sorry! There, there! Don''t cry anymore!" Lin Tian hastily consoled her. Despite the consolation, Bu Mengting eventually calmed down. Seeing Bu Mengting settle down, Lin Tian asked tentatively, "About what you said just now..." "What I said just now? I didn''t say anything!" Bu Mengting snorted. "You''re going back on your word, I''m jumping into the river!" Lin Tian said as he turned to run back towards the lake. "You, stop right there!" Bu Mengting quickly called out. But Lin Tian didn''t stop, indeed looking as if he was about to jump in again. Seeing this, Bu Mengting had no choice but to shout, "Alright, whatever you say goes." At these words, Lin Tian paused, turned around with a smile, and said triumphantly, "No taking it back, okay!" "Hmph!" With a cold huff, Bu Mengting turned away, ignoring Lin Tian. "Come on, no more being mad!" Lin Tian walked over with a merry smile. After some words of comfort, Bu Mengting''s mood was once again steady. After chatting for a bit, since Lin Tian was soaked through, they didn''t stay outside any longer. Lin Tian went to his dormitory to change clothes, and Bu Mengting headed back to hers as well. Entering the male dormitory, Lin Tian walked toward his room while pondering the scene that just unfolded, "Clearly, it''s impossible to get Bu Mengting to agree to let me find two women, but this evening was a breakthrough, at minimum planting a seed in her heart. Even the most formidable fortress can be breached bit by bit... slowly..." Lin Tian thought to himself. Chapter 163 I Dare!_2 "Hey, Lin Tian, what are you doing? Catching fish in the river?" As Lin Tian pondered, all of a sudden, a loud shout came from beside his ear.Lifting his head, Lin Tian realized that he had unknowingly arrived at the dormitory entrance, where Guo Rong was looking at him with a surprised face, drenched from head to toe. "I jumped into the river!" With a sidelong glance at him, Lin Tian turned and went into the dormitory to find a set of clean clothes to change into. ** In the following days, Lin Tian''s life was relatively peaceful. It was just going to classes, occasionally hanging out with Bu Mengting, and then playing games at the internet caf¨¦ with his roommates. He also hadn''t received any new missions. Before he knew it, a week passed, and tomorrow would be the weekend. This weekend, Lin Tian didn''t plan to stay at the university; he intended to go back to Wu''an City. On one hand, he wanted to see his parents, and on the other hand, it had been half a month since he''d seen He Qianqian, and they both missed each other. Planning his return, Lin Tian had dinner at the university on Friday afternoon and, after class, took a taxi to Wu''an City. Over an hour later, Lin Tian got out of the taxi. Having not seen He Qianqian for more than two weeks, he planned to buy a bouquet of roses for her, to be a bit romantic. Once out of the car, Lin Tian headed straight for the nearby flower shop. Just as Lin Tian walked into the flower shop, a Lamborghini slowly drove past the shop. In the back seat of the Lamborghini, Yan Yan felt weak all over, her eyelids heavy. She desperately tried to keep her eyes open, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could only pry them open a slit. Her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. Tired! Sleepy! Heavy! Powerless! Feeling a disgusting hand stroking her inner thigh, Yan Yan wanted to swat it away, but she was completely powerless. She could have never imagined that her first time in a bar would result in such an ordeal. That seemingly refined and gentle Lin Long had actually drugged her. Yan Yan felt somewhat desperate inside. She wanted to scream, to call for help, but she simply didn''t have the strength. At the same time, her phone had been taken away. Yan Yan leaned weakly against the back seat, her eyes somewhat lifeless as she looked out of the window. She didn''t even have the strength to open the car door¡ªbesides, the door was already locked. Right when she was in the depths of despair, suddenly, her eyes brightened slightly; she saw a familiar figure. Lin Tian! Seeing Lin Tian, Yan Yan opened her mouth to shout, but only a mosquito-like sound came out. As the car drove slowly past, she watched Lin Tian walk into the flower shop, not once looking back. Yan Yan felt a wave of despair. She wished that Lin Tian would turn around and look at her. But that was impossible! Yan Yan''s heart sank into despair. She knew that this time she had been caught. Meanwhile, Lin Tian, who was asking the florist for the prices, paused. A synthetic electronic voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Rescue Yan Yan. Mission reward: one Supernatural Point." "Hm?" Lin Tian paused upon hearing the voice, wondering why a mission would appear at this time. Was Yan Yan nearby? Hearing this mission alert, Lin Tian looked around in astonishment, and then outside he saw a red silhouette. It was the mission glow flickering around Yan Yan. "Indeed!" Upon seeing this, Lin Tian muttered to himself, immediately turned to the florist to say a word, and then walked swiftly out of the shop. Walking out of the flower shop, Lin Tian glanced in Yan Yan''s direction and hurried over! After running a distance and turning a corner, Lin Tian saw a blue Lamborghini stopped on the side of the road with several uniformed traffic police officers pulling it over. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian quickened his pace. "What''s going on? Why have we stopped?" Just as he was about to lean over to kiss Yan Yan, Lin Long realized that the car had come to a halt. "Young Master Lin, there are traffic police up ahead!" the driver in front spoke up at this time. "Tell them to get lost!" Lin Long ordered angrily, frowning, with the smell of alcohol on his breath. Clearly, he had been drinking quite a lot. "Hey, get out!" At that moment, a young traffic officer in his twenties knocked on the window. Hearing the tapping by his ear, Lin Long frowned sharply and flung open the car door. "What''s the problem! Don''t you want to work here anymore?" Lin Long roared as soon as he got out of the car, his speech tainted with a stench of alcohol. Smelling this odor, the young traffic officer frowned and said with a cold face, "I suspect you''re drunk driving. Everyone, get out for a check!" "Check, check your sister! Do you know who I am? Get lost!" Lin Long shooed the officer away like he was chasing a fly, shouting angrily. "No one is exempt!" The officer gave Lin Long a cold look, tapped the driver''s side window, and commanded sternly, "Get out!" "Damn, can''t even give face when it''s offered! Your chief''s last name is Liang, right? I''m calling him now, and we''ll see if he dares to turn the world upside down!" Lin Long bellowed in anger upon seeing the officer showing no respect, then pulled out an iPhone and dialed a number. Hearing Lin Long''s voice, the young traffic officer''s body stiffened. He turned his head to look at him. Their deputy chief really was surnamed Liang. Could it be that this man actually had some formidable background? The traffic officer''s face was riddled with doubt.

Meanwhile, the commotion had drawn the attention of other traffic officers, and several hurried over. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire At that moment, Lin Long was still on the phone: "Hello, Lin Long speaking. Yeah, right, I need to tell you something. I''ve been stopped by the traffic police. They say I''m drunk driving, what a joke! Right, right! Okay!" Having said this, Lin Long handed his phone to that traffic officer, saying, "Here, it''s for you guys." Seeing all this, the captain of the traffic police, already sensing that something was amiss, walked over, took the phone, and answered the call. "Hello, oh, ah, Chief Liang, oh oh, sure, no problem, no problem at all. Yes, sir!" After hanging up, the captain of the traffic police wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, took a deep breath, turned around, and with a somewhat respectful attitude, handed Lin Long back his phone. "Hmph!" Lin Long snorted coldly as he took his phone, his eyebrows raised, challenging with a defiant look, "So, we can go now, right?" "Certainly, certainly, please go ahead!" the captain of the traffic police said with a smile on his face. "How can they let them go..." Seeing Lin Long was being allowed to leave just like that, the young traffic officer got anxious. "Damn it, looking for trouble, huh! Puh!" Speaking, Lin Long spat a mouthful of saliva directly onto the face of the young traffic officer. "Shit!" Feeling the spit on his face, the young traffic officer''s face contorted with rage, and he was about to charge forward! But he had only taken one step when the captain of the traffic police pulled him back. The captain pulled him aside and whispered, "Chief Liang just called. This person... we can''t afford to mess with!" "What about Chief Liang? Does that mean he can act above the law?" Feeling the slightly fishy spit on his face, the young traffic officer was defiant. "It''s not just Chief Liang. Do you know who his father is? He''s the son of the Mayor of Lin City. We can''t afford to provoke him, and do you still want to have a career? This is a crucial moment for your promotion. Do you still think you''ll be promoted if you have problems now? Dream on!" the captain lectured. Hearing this, the young traffic officer fell silent, his breathing becoming a bit rapid. Despite his displeasure, he was helpless. If Lin Long truly had that kind of background, he really couldn''t afford to provoke him. He wouldn''t risk his future over this. "Shit!" But recalling Lin Long''s arrogant demeanor and the saliva on his own face, the young traffic officer cursed under his breath, filled with resentment. By this time, Lin Tian had already been there for a while and had heard everything the two men said. After scanning the two men, Lin Tian suddenly declared, "You might not dare, but I do!" Startled, the two traffic officers quickly raised their heads to look at Lin Tian. They hadn''t expected their private conversation to be overheard. Lin Tian ignored the two of them and strode towards Lin Long. Chapter 164 I kissed, so what! Lin Tian walked briskly to Lin Long, who was still outside, while Yan Yan was still in the car!Lin Tian gave him a cold glance and then bent over to open the car door and got inside. Lin Tian planned to drag Yan Yan out first! Seeing Lin Tian come over and enter his car, Lin Long, who was burping from alcohol, was startled! After being stunned for a moment, Lin Tian became furious, bent over, and fiercely yanked at Lin Tian''s leg that was sticking out, yelling, "Damn it, what the hell, get out of here!" By then, Lin Tian had already seen the dazed Yan Yan inside the car and felt someone pulling at his leg. Lin Tian''s body paused, and his foot kicked directly backward. Lin Tian''s foot harshly kicked Lin Long''s stomach! Bang! Lin Long instantly felt a tremendous force, and his body was directly kicked flying by Lin Tian! He crashed heavily onto the ground! Supporting Yan Yan, Lin Tian lifted her out of the car. Seeing Lin Tian carrying Yan Yan out of the car, Lin Long was startled, then immediately began cursing as he used his hands to push himself up from the ground: "Son of a bitch, looking to die, huh?" saying this, he charged at Lin Tian. After giving this alcohol-smelling man a cold glance, Lin Tian''s foot kicked towards his abdomen! Bang! Lin Tian''s kick was fierce, sending him flying two meters away, unable to get up for a long while! Everyone was stunned at the scene; everything had happened too quickly and was too unexpected, leaving everyone unable to react. Lin Long lay on the ground, feeling a painful cramp in his abdomen; he struggled to get up, but couldn''t. After casting him a casual glance, Lin Tian turned emotionlessly and walked away. Seeing Lin Tian just walk away like that, Lin Long was furious, yelling at Lin Tian''s retreating figure: "Son of a bitch, you''ll pay for this, do you know who I am, just you wait!" Hearing this, Lin Tian paused his steps and slowly turned around. Staring coldly at Lin Long for a while, Lin Tian snorted coldly and walked over to him step by step. Approaching him, Lin Tian slightly bowed his head, glanced at his hand on the ground, and raised his foot, harshly stepping on Lin Long''s hand, grinding it and said coldly, "If you want to die, just come at me!" After being stunned for a moment, Lin Long''s mouth slowly opened wide, eventually letting out a shrill scream. "Ah!" Lin Long''s lips turned white from the pain! Lin Tian glanced coldly and walked away without looking back. And seeing this scene, everyone just stared dumbfounded. Everyone was surprised. Until Lin Tian left, no one stopped him. The two traffic police were completely taken aback; Lin Tian had actually made a move. And by the time they reacted, Lin Tian had already gotten into a taxi and driven away. ** After helping Lin Tian into the taxi, Lin Tian patted Yan Yan''s face, finding her completely unresponsive, helplessly, Lin Tian had to ask the driver to take them to a hotel. Minutes later, Lin Tian, supporting the dazed Yan Yan, entered the already booked room. Placing Yan Yan on the bed, Lin Tian thought for a moment and gently covered her with the blanket. After doing all this, Lin Tian immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness. As Lin Tian immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness, he immediately heard a synthesized electronic voice: "Mission: Rescue Yan Yan completed. Reward: one Supernatural Point." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian immediately looked towards the sky in the Sea of Consciousness. Looking up, he immediately saw an additional golden Supernatural Point. As Lin Tian looked at the floating Superpower Points in the air, he thought to himself, "Six Superpower Points now, soon there will be ten, and then I can proceed with my plan." Ever since Bu Mengting found out about Lin Tian and He Qianqian being together, Lin Tian had been thinking about a way to get both parties to get along simultaneously. He thought of one method, but the plan that followed required a new superpower. Lin Tian was waiting to collect ten Superpower Points. As he watched the Superpower Points floating in the air, Lin Tian thought to himself, "Soon, very soon!" After his consciousness wandered around in the air for a while, Lin Tian brought his consciousness back to reality. His gaze wandered around the room and finally settled on Yan Yan, who was on the bed. Perhaps because she had had some alcohol, Yan Yan''s fair face was a bit flushed, making her look particularly enchanting. After staring for a while, Lin Tian slowly caressed his somewhat stubbled chin and thought, "I must say, this girl gets prettier the more I look at her! Especially those lips, they look particularly lovely!" Yan Yan''s lips were very pretty, red and glossy, like a freshly picked strawberry. Gazing at Yan Yan''s enticing red lips, Lin Tian licked his lips and hesitated as he muttered to himself, "Should I kiss her or not!" "To kiss or not to kiss? To do it, or to do it?" Lin Tian muttered to himself, appearing to struggle and hesitate. After hesitating for a long time, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and comforted himself, "Alright, just one kiss, just a quick one. I did save her, so a little benefit shouldn''t be wrong." Muttering to himself, Lin Tian''s steps moved slowly towards the bed. Approaching the edge of the bed, looking at Yan Yan''s tempting red lips, Lin Tian slowly bent down... "Hmm~!" Just then, suddenly, Yan Yan slowly opened her beautiful eyes. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire Seeing this, Lin Tian froze, and they stared into each other''s eyes for a moment. By then, they were very close to each other, almost nose to nose, and both could smell each other''s breath. Gazing silly at Yan Yan, who had suddenly woken up, Lin Tian paused for a moment and then burst out laughing, standing up with an awkward explanation, "I was just checking if you were awake!" At the same time, Lin Tian cursed inwardly, "Damn, what quality is this potion that she woke up so quickly!" Yan Yan, still a bit groggy, opened her eyes, and after a while, she came to her senses. Seeing Lin Tian, and thinking of something, Yan Yan asked incredulously, "You, you saved me?" Hearing Yan Yan changing the topic, Lin Tian felt overjoyed and laughed proudly, "You know it, I am the savior!" With that, Lin Tian flicked his hair, striking a handsome pose! Looking dumbfounded at Lin Tian''s proud face, Yan Yan propped herself up on the bed, managing to sit up. After taking a deep breath and calming down, suddenly thinking of something, Yan Yan raised her head and stared intently at Lin Tian, "What were you just about to do to me?" "What was I about to do?" Lin Tian said awkwardly, glancing nervously around. Seeing the unease in Lin Tian''s rapid gaze, Yan Yan looked intently at him, "You were about to kiss me, weren''t you!" "Who wanted to kiss you! I was just checking if you were awake!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes. "Exactly, you wanted to kiss me!" Yan Yan was certain. ''Not at all!" ''It was!" S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Not at all!" "It was!" Getting a bit frustrated, Lin Tian turned and quickly walked to the bed, cupped Yan Yan''s face, and kissed her directly! "Hmm!" Yan Yan''s eyes widened in disbelief! Kissed! Her lips were instantly met by Lin Tian''s! After kissing intensely for a while, Lin Tian then stood up, raised an eyebrow, and looked proudly at Yan Yan, "I kissed you, what about it!" Chapter 165 Drink It "You, you..." Yan Yan looked at Lin Tian in shock, completely stunned.She had never expected Lin Tian to actually kiss her; it was totally unexpected. After a moment, she threw a punch at Lin Tian. "Ah? Oh!" Lin Tian was taken aback and quickly moved his hand away. "Huff! You''re driving me crazy!" Leaning against the bed, Yan Yan had an infuriated look on her face. "Uh..." Lin Tian stood awkwardly in place, not knowing what to do, and whispered to himself, "Feels pretty good!" "What did you say!" Yan Yan frowned and glared at Lin Tian. "Ah, nothing!" Lin Tian said with an awkward smile. "Hmph!" Coldly glancing at Lin Tian, Yan Yan huffed and muttered under her breath, "Pervert!" Hearing this, Lin Tian just pursed his lips but said nothing. After a moment of silence, something occurred to Yan Yan and she suddenly turned to Lin Tian and shouted, "What time is it now?" Looking at her oddly, Lin Tian took out his phone and replied, "Almost nine, why?" "Nine already? Oh no!" With a cry of alarm, Yan Yan tried to get out of bed. Seeing this, Lin Tian quickly went over to help her up, curiously asking, "What''s wrong? Do you have something to do?" "It''s nothing, I need to go now!" Yan Yan took a deep breath and tried to stand up on her own. "You can''t go out like this, better rest a bit." Lin Tian advised. "No, I need to leave now!" Yan Yan looked somewhat anxious. Seeing her like this and guessing she might have something urgent, Lin Tian offered, "How about I take you?" "No..." Yan Yan began to refuse. "Come on, no more talking, how can you go out alone in your condition!" Lin Tian cut her off before she could finish. Hearing this, Yan Yan hesitated for a bit and then said nothing more. Ten minutes later, they were sitting in a taxi outside the hotel. Looking at Lin Tian sitting beside her, Yan Yan said somewhat helplessly, "I told you, no need to escort me further!" "It''s no trouble, might as well send the Buddha to the west!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. Knowing Yan Yan and seeing her condition, he really didn''t feel at ease letting her go alone. "Fine, if you insist on following, then follow!" Seeing Lin Tian''s firm attitude, Yan Yan turned her head away and said nothing more. Glancing at her, Lin Tian asked, "How did you get mixed up with that guy?" Lin Tian was asking about Lin Long. "It''s nothing..." Yan Yan''s eyes flickered, and she shook her head, clearly in a bad mood. Seeing that Yan Yan didn''t want to talk more, Lin Tian didn''t ask further. Suddenly, both fell silent. Out of boredom, Lin Tian looked out of the window. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian turned his gaze from the window back to Yan Yan and asked, "Do you have some urgent matter? You seemed in such a hurry to get back?" Yan Yan''s gaze remained out the window, she didn''t turn her head, showing no intention of responding. Feeling somewhat disheartened, Lin Tian grimaced and eventually took out his phone to start reading a novel. Ten minutes later, they arrived at their destination and got out of the car. After getting out, Yan Yan turned to Lin Tian and said, "Thank you, I am fine now." "I''ll walk you there!" Lin Tian said, eyeing the somewhat dark alley ahead. It was the only path forward, obviously where Yan Yan intended to go. The darkness ahead made Lin Tian uneasy. "No need!" "Let''s go!" Lin Tian didn''t say much, just led the way forward. Seeing this, Yan Yan sighed helplessly and followed him. As they walked, Lin Tian noticed the houses here were quite old, likely part of an old district. After a while, suddenly, sounds of banging and crashing came from ahead, as if someone was smashing things. At the same time, swearing could be heard near Lin Tian. Hearing the noise, Yan Yan''s face changed and she rushed forward. Seeing this, Lin Tian quickened his pace as well. Soon after, Lin Tian followed Yan Yan into a bungalow. As soon as they entered, Lin Tian saw a man in his fifties yelling at Yan Yan, "Stupid girl, coming back so late, where the hell did you go?" Then the man noticed Lin Tian following behind and cursed angrily, "And you brought some stray man back?" Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire Reaching the doorway, Lin Tian scanned the inside of the room. The room was simple, filled with basic wooden furniture. Simultaneously, some chairs were lying on the ground, clearly someone had lost their temper. Glancing at the floor, Lin Tian''s eyes moved to the man. He was probably in his fifties, slightly balding and his face somewhat flushed with an agitated look in his eyes. Seeing this, Lin Tian frowned, and then noticed another woman beside the man. This woman was also around fifty years old, showing a helpless expression. There was a faint resemblance to Yan Yan on her face. Lin Tian guessed this was likely Yan Yan''s mother. Yan Yan glared at the man and shouted loudly, "Stop yelling, you just know how to drink, have some decency!" "Stupid girl, dare to teach your old man a lesson!" Hearing this, the man became enraged and quickly walked towards Yan Yan. "Ah! Don''t!" Seeing this, the woman behind him hurried forward to try to hold him back. "Get out of the way!" The man swung his arm, flinging the woman to the ground, then with a furious face, he quickly approached Yan Yan. "Dammit, still daring to lecture me!" Arriving in front of Yan Yan, the man slapped her across the face. Slap! Suddenly, Lin Tian grabbed his hand. "Let go!" The man shouted angrily, trying to pull his hand free, but it was stuck! "Damn!" Seeing that his hand wasn''t freeing, in a rage, the man grabbed a chair next to him and swung it at Lin Tian''s head. Chapter 165 Drink It_2 Seeing this, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and slapped fiercely across!"Smack!" Along with a crisp slap, the man was sent flying by Lin Tian with a single blow. "You..." As his body fell to the ground, the man clutched his swollen cheek, glaring with angry eyes at Lin Tian! After several heavy breaths, the man struggled to get up and, with rage boiling inside him, turned and ran towards the room. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A few seconds later, he ran out holding a kitchen knife, his eyes bloodshot as he charged at Lin Tian, shouting, "I''m going to cripple you today!" A kitchen knife came slashing towards the face with full force! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed as he kicked, sending a chair flying towards him in an instant. Simultaneously, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward and with a whoosh, he snatched the kitchen knife from the man''s hand. Having seized the knife, Lin Tian lifted his leg and kicked fiercely! Bang! The man was knocked to the ground by Lin Tian''s powerful kick! Lin Tian gave him a cold look, his right hand gripping the kitchen knife tightly, raising it above his head and bringing it down hard on the man''s head! "Ah!" Yan Yan''s scream pierced the air beside him. "Ah!" Accompanying Yan Yan''s scream was the man''s terrified cry. Bang! The kitchen knife chopped down fiercely, landing just two centimeters from the man''s ear; Lin Tian''s strength was so immense that half of the knife sunk into the ground. "Huff, huff!" The man gasped violently, with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, his face filled with terror. Lin Tian released his grip on the kitchen knife, crouched down, and gently patted the man on the face, saying coldly, "If you want to die, I''ll oblige!" With that, Lin Tian slowly stood up. Watching this scene in a daze, Yan Yan''s eyes widened; she had been truly frightened when Lin Tian swung the kitchen knife down. After scanning the scene and looking at Yan Yan, Lin Tian shook his head, not wanting to say anything further, and turned to leave. Clearly, this wasn''t the first time such an incident had occurred, and as an outsider, it wasn''t Lin Tian''s place to intervene. However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly paused. Then, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Help Yan Yan heal her mother''s leg ailment. Reward for mission completion: Two Supernatural Points. Note: This task must be completed within one hour." Upon hearing the mission''s voice, Lin Tian was startled and then cast his gaze toward the woman in her fifties, taking a closer look at her feet. He noticed that her feet indeed seemed to have a slight limp. Seeing this, Lin Tian spoke up, "Auntie? Are your arms and legs not well?" "Ah? You, how do you know?" Wang Dandan looked at Lin Tian in astonishment. "I can help you!" Lin Tian said. "What?" Wang Dandan was taken aback, skeptical. Yan Yan was also surprised, and after a moment, she looked at Lin Tian and exclaimed, "What are you talking about? And how do you know about my mom''s legs?" Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "Me? I divined it!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. "Divined?" Yan Yan furrowed her brows. Glancing at her, Lin Tian took out three coins from his pocket and held them in his palm, looking at Yan Yan, "I''m really good! You have to believe me!" Despite what Lin Tian said, Yan Yan still looked at him skeptically! Watching Yan Yan''s bewildered face, Lin Tian smiled, looked around, and walked toward a table. On this table, there were tea and water! Coming to the table, Lin Tian poured a cup of water with his back to them, then the idea triggered, and he exchanged it for a bottle of Healing Water. Lin Tian poured the Healing Water into the cup and then brought it to Wang Dandan, offering it to her: "Drink it, and you''ll be healed!" Hearing this, and then looking at the plain boiled water in front of her, Wang Dandan was dumbfounded. This... Yan Yan, standing beside her, was also staring dumbly. It took her a while to respond, and then she looked at Lin Tian and shouted, "Lin Tian, you''re not joking, are you?" ``` "Joking? Is that so?" Lin Tian turned his head, looking at Yan Yan with a calm expression, "Do you still not believe me?" "But, maybe just drinking a glass of plain boiled water would have been fine!" Yan Yan pointed at the glass of plain water in Lin Tian''s hand, her face full of disbelief. Lin Tian smiled slightly, gently raising the cup in his hand, and said with a smile, "Since it''s plain boiled water, what''s the harm in trying? Surely I can''t harm you!" "This, this..." Yan Yan was stunned, suddenly at a loss for words. Thinking about it carefully, Lin Tian had no reason to deceive them. Moreover, Lin Tian''s performance of divination had truly astonished them. What Yan Yan could think of, Wang Dandan could naturally think of as well. Besides, Wang Dandan was fed up with her current condition and would not regret it even if it killed her. With this thought, Wang Dandan took the glass from Lin Tian''s hand, tilted her head back, and gulped down all the water in it. "M-Mom..." Seeing this scene, Yan Yan was startled and reached out to stop her, but it was already too late. After a moment of shock, Yan Yan watched Wang Dandan somewhat cautiously, "Mom, are you, are you alright?" Yan Yan was very nervous. Whether it would work or not was one thing, but she was afraid there was something wrong with the water. Of course, she also harbored a tiny hope. Maybe, just maybe, it really worked? Although the likelihood seemed very small to her, almost impossible, she still had a sliver of hope in her heart. At this moment, the man lying on the ground also turned his gaze towards Wang Dandan... A few seconds later, Wang Dandan lifted her head, somewhat puzzled, "It seems like there''s no feeling?" As she spoke, Wang Dandan tentatively took a few steps; her walk was still limp, and with each step, a slight stinging pain came. Exactly the same as before. Seeing this scene, Yan Yan turned her head to look at Lin Tian, her face full of suspicion, "Is this the so-called effect you spoke of?" Lin Tian didn''t reply; he too was a little perplexed. Could it be the Healing Water was ineffective? That shouldn''t be the case. If it had saved He Qianqian''s grandmother from such a serious illness, how could it be ineffective? While pondering what was happening, Lin Tian suddenly heard Wang Dandan''s exclamation, "Wait, there seems to be a feeling!" Hearing that, Lin Tian looked up towards Wang Dandan. Wang Dandan''s face showed some confusion, and she said with some uncertainty, "It feels like there''s a warm flow inside my body, my hands and feet feel a bit warm, and there''s some numbness." Yan Yan''s eyes widened as she looked on, nervously asking, "Mom, are you sure you''re not mistaken?" "Hmm, it seems the feeling is gone now," Wang Dandan hesitated. Hearing Wang Dandan describe the warm flow, Lin Tian relaxed a lot and showed a relieved smile, saying, "Auntie, try walking a few more steps. You''ll definitely be better." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Dandan tentatively walked a few more steps. With one stride, instantly, Wang Dandan''s eyes widened. Different! Completely different feeling. She felt that her injured right foot had regained strength and was no longer as powerless as it was at the beginning; the stabbing pain was gone too. In disbelief, Wang Dandan took a few more steps. Light-footed, and agile! Just like a normal person. Wang Dandan bent over disbelievingly to touch her foot, her face filled with incredulity. It was miraculous. Thinking of something, Wang Dandan waved her right arm, and it was much better; completely recovered! Her formerly weak right arm had regained strength. Moreover, she noticed that the previously dry skin on her right arm had also become much smoother! "It''s unbelievable!" Wang Dandan murmured to herself, her face in disbelief. "This..." Yan Yan watched the scene dumbfounded, her little face full of astonishment! ``` Chapter 166 Captured When Wang Dandan was feeling surprised, at the same time, an electronic synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind:''Mission to help Yan Yan''s mother cure her leg ailment complete. Reward: two Supernatural Points.'' Hearing this voice, Lin Tian''s consciousness sank into his Sea of Consciousness, his gaze sweeping over the floating Supernatural Points, he thought to himself, ''Seven Supernatural Points now.'' Just now, Lin Tian had spent one Supernatural Point and was awarded two more, which meant that he had gained an additional Supernatural Point. Now he had a total of seven Supernatural Points. ** Half an hour later, Lin Tian left Yan Yan''s home. As Yan Yan was seeing Lin Tian off, she expressed her gratitude, "Thank you so much. I''m... I''m so moved I can barely speak!" Looking at the excited girl, Lin Tian chuckled with a heh-heh, "If you don''t know how to thank me, how about a kiss? Come on, beautiful, mwah one here!" saying so, Lin Tian pursed his lips and leaned his face closer! "Get lost!" Yan Yan pushed Lin Tian away with a slap, saying exasperatedly, "Can''t you be a little less lecherous? And you already have two girlfriends, yet you''re still out here flirting with others!" "Ah..." Hearing Yan Yan''s words, Lin Tian looked somewhat embarrassed. After giving Lin Tian a cold glance, Yan Yan continued, "Also, the number you gave me last time never connects. Can you give me a real number this time?" saying so, Yan Yan pulled out her phone. ''Uh, my number is 139***'' Lin Tian then shared his frequently used phone number with her. Through several interactions, Lin Tian had already counted Yan Yan as one of his friends. Having memorized Lin Tian''s number, Yan Yan looked up at him, "This time it''s not a fake number, right?" "I guarantee it''s not!" Lin Tian assured with a confident face. After chatting for a few more sentences, Lin Tian then hailed a cab home. It was already very late, and he didn''t plan to go to He Qianqian''s place since she should have already been asleep by that time. The night passed without incident. The next day, just as Lin Tian finished breakfast and was planning to go find He Qianqian, suddenly, a knocking sound echoed from the door. Curious, Lin Tian opened the door, and the sight of the visitor took him aback. Police! It was actually two police officers who had come. After glancing at Lin Tian and then checking the photo in their hands, one of the police officers said without expression, "You''re Lin Tian, right? Come with us." "What for?" Lin Tian frowned upon seeing the two. "What were you doing last night at eight o''clock?" one of the police officers asked impatiently, "You''re suspected of intentional assault; come with us." "Last night at eight o''clock..." Lin Tian''s gaze flashed. Instantly he thought of the young man he had hit when he was saving Yan Yan. Could it be because of that incident? "Hurry up, what''s the hold-up!" Seeing Lin Tian in a daze, one of the officers became impatient. With a lift of his eyelids and a glance at the officer, Lin Tian remained silent, bent over to put on his shoes, preparing to leave. At the same time, he turned to look at his stunned sister and said, "Don''t worry, I''ll be right back, don''t tell mom and dad." "Damn it, hurry up!" Seeing Lin Tian still dawdling, one of the police officers shoved Lin Tian. Caught off guard and bending over, Lin Tian nearly fell from the push. Staggering a few steps, Lin Tian forcefully steadied himself. Lin Tian''s face turned livid! Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian slowly stood up, turned, and glared at the police officer, who was now smirking at him! Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and took a big step forward, striding up to the police officer and grabbing him by the throat, then slammed him hard against the wall! Lin Tian glared and growled in anger, "Damn it, push me again and see what happens?" "Gurgle..." The police officer''s throat was tightly gripped by Lin Tian, and as he couldn''t breathe, his face instantly turned red. "Alright, alright!" Seeing this, the other police officer was startled and quickly came over, pulling Lin Tian''s hand away. Seeing the officer approach, Lin Tian didn''t want to make a big scene there, so he snorted coldly and let go of his hand. "Son of a bitch!" As soon as Lin Tian released his grip, the police officer burst out in anger, ready to charge at him. "What are you doing!" Seeing this, the other police officer quickly restrained him. His colleague pulled him aside and explained quietly, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know who he is? He once faced off against more than a dozen armed thugs on his own and came out unscathed. Do you want to rush in and get killed?" "Huh?" Hearing this, the officer was taken aback. Giving him a speechless look, the other officer explained, "Didn''t I tell you, be nicer when you arrive, don''t be so arrogant!" "Damn!" Upon hearing this, the officer didn''t dare to do anything more to Lin Tian, rubbed his somewhat uncomfortable neck, and muttered under his breath, "I''ll make him pay in the station!" After giving him a glance, the other officer didn''t say anything, then turned to Lin Tian with a smile, "Sorry, we are just following orders, please cooperate with us." Lin Tian glanced at him and said nothing, then turned to his sister, "I''m fine, I''ll be back soon, don''t worry!" After speaking, Lin Tian followed them downstairs. Once downstairs, Lin Tian found that a police car was already parked below. "Let''s go!" The officer glanced at Lin Tian and said. Lin Tian kept silent and got into the car. Once inside the car, taking a look at the two police officers sitting on either side, Lin Tian spoke up, "I can make a phone call, right?" "Sure, no problem!" The police officer nodded. Immediately, Lin Tian took out his phone, opened the phone book, and found Chen Yixuan''s number. Upon seeing Chen Yixuan''s phone number, Lin Tian dialed it without hesitation. After a few rings, the call connected. "Hello? Chen Yixuan?" "Hmm? Is that you, Lin Tian? What''s up?" Despite some time since their last contact, Chen Yixuan still had a rather vivid impression of Lin Tian. "Yeah, I need to tell you something," Lin Tian said after a moment''s hesitation. "Let''s hear it first," came Chen Yixuan''s calm voice from the other end of the phone. "Here''s the thing, yesterday¡­" Lin Tian began explaining. He recounted most of the previous day''s events truthfully, but he didn''t mention how he knew Yan Yan was in the car. "Oh, I understand. If it''s really that issue, I''ll help. You''ll be out soon," Chen Yixuan assured. "Really? Thank you," Lin Tian replied, his spirits lifting at her words. "It''s no problem, well, I''ll hang up if there''s nothing else." "Yes, thank you!" Lin Tian hung up the phone right away. After ending the call, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. From Chen Yixuan''s response, it seemed like there wouldn''t be any problems and he should be able to get out soon. He had called Chen Yixuan because she was the only person he knew in the police station, and she seemed to have some background. Without pulling some strings, Lin Tian was genuinely worried that he might end up locked up for several months. These people were capable of anything. "Do you know Captain Chen?" At that moment, the police officer who had tried to defuse the situation earlier gave Lin Tian a curious glance. "Hmm? Yes, I know her," Lin Tian said, nodding his head after glancing at the officer, with whom he was slightly familiar. "Under normal circumstances, Captain Chen would definitely be able to help you, but I''m afraid not this time," the officer said. "Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat, and he furrowed his brow. After glancing at Lin Tian, the officer leaned in and explained in a low voice, "Do you know who you hit yesterday? It''s the son of Vice Mayor Lin, and Mayor Lin is a standing committee member. The higher authorities have instructed us to severely punish the criminal." "What?" Lin Tian was taken aback by the officer''s words. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire Noticing Lin Tian''s astounded expression, the other officer who had started the confrontation with Lin Tian revealed a smug smile, looking at Lin Tian with a taunting tone, "What''s there to talk to him about? He got what he deserved for messing with someone he shouldn''t have!" With a cold glint in his eyes, Lin Tian turned and stared at him icily, "If you spew more crap, do you believe I can knock your teeth out?" "Damn it, kid, you really think you''re something, huh?" the officer said furiously. "Believe it or not, I will make sure you rot in jail!" Seeing the officer''s arrogant demeanor, Lin Tian didn''t say anything and reached out, grabbed the officer by the hair, and slammed his head into the car window! Bang! With the sound of shattering glass, the officer''s head broke the car window! His head was gushing blood! As Lin Tian grabbed his hair, he leaned forward and, looking at his bloodied face, said slowly and forcefully, "I hate those who live off the people''s grain but oppress them the most. Keep acting tough and see if I don''t beat you to death!" "Huff! Huff!" The officer was gasping for air, his eyes wide as he faced the fierce look on Lin Tian''s face¡ªhe was truly frightened! The sudden loud noise startled the driver, who quickly pulled over and hit the brakes hard! "What happened?" the driver asked, turning around urgently. "It''s nothing, nothing, just get to the station!" said another officer beside him, swallowing nervously after witnessing the scene. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At that moment, he regretted not bringing his gun. Lin Tian was too volatile. With only a hundred meters to the police station, the driver took a glance at the situation in the back and understood, then sped up without another word, heading straight for the police station. As soon as they arrived, Lin Tian was taken to an interrogation room, and his hands were cuffed. Lin Tian did not resist. With his hands cuffed behind him to the chair, Lin Tian sat in silence, waiting. He was waiting to see if Chen Yixuan could get him out. Time ticked by, and soon it was afternoon. No one came to see Lin Tian in the meantime, nor did anyone bring him anything to eat or drink. At first, Lin Tian still wondered if Chen Yixuan might get him out, but as time passed, he started to feel increasingly disappointed. He also began to believe what the officer had said at the beginning. It was very likely that the person he beat up the day before was the son of the so-called Mayor Lin. Chen Yixuan didn''t have the power to rescue him. After sitting continuously for an entire day, exhausted and hungry, Lin Tian''s irritability began to mount. "I must find a way!" Lin Tian thought to himself. Just as he was contemplating his options, suddenly, the sound of a door opening broke the silence. Hearing the noise, Lin Tian looked up and saw an exhausted-looking Chen Yixuan walk in. Standing in front of Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan apologized with fatigue in her voice, "I''m sorry, the person you crossed has too big of a background. I''ve tried all I could, but it was no use." Lin Tian glanced at the weary-faced Chen Yixuan, knowing she had tried her best, and licked his dry lips with a smile, "It''s okay, I have a way. By the way, could you get me some water and something to eat?" Noticing Lin Tian''s parched lips, Chen Yixuan said in surprise, "You haven''t eaten all day?" Lin Tian said nothing. Chapter 167 Anger "What are they doing? This is too much!" Seeing Lin Tian remaining silent, Chen Yixuan''s anger flared instantly."Wait here!" she told Lin Tian and then quickly stepped out of the interrogation room. After Chen Yixuan left, Lin Tian closed his eyes in the now empty interrogation room, remaining silent. Rage! Frustration! These had been Lin Tian''s feelings throughout the day. No one had ever treated him like this before. Anger! Lin Tian was truly angry now. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, and soon after, the door was opened again. Hearing the door open, Lin Tian opened his eyes. Then, Chen Yixuan came in with a bowl of instant noodles that had soaked up well and a bottle of mineral water, followed by a police officer. After placing the noodles and mineral water on the table, Chen Yixuan turned to look at the police officer behind her and said coldly, "Take his handcuffs off!" "Captain Chen, this¡­" The officer hesitated upon hearing this. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I told you to open it!" Chen Yixuan exclaimed angrily. After hesitating, the officer finally knelt in front of Lin Tian and unlocked his handcuffs attached to the chair. With a click, Lin Tian felt the handcuffs on his hands being unlocked. Lin Tian moved his wrists; they had gone numb from being in the same position for so long. Rotating his wrists, he felt much better! After moving them a bit, Lin Tian silently walked to the table. He sat down and immediately started devouring the noodles without saying a word. In just over ten seconds, Lin Tian had finished off the whole bowl of instant noodles! Then, Lin Tian unscrewed the cap of the mineral water and gulped it down in one go. "Burp!" Belching satisfaction, Lin Tian wiped the water from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Chen Yixuan, "Full now, thanks!" "Hmm, if you''re still hungry, I can make you another bowl. There''s no more food, just instant noodles," Chen Yixuan said after a pause, looking at Lin Tian. Hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian laughed, "If possible, then another bowl it is." Five minutes later, Lin Tian was again hunched over, furiously eating instant noodles. Watching Lin Tian eat the noodles like he was famished, Chen Yixuan suddenly felt terrible inside. Taking a deep breath, she said somewhat apologetically, "Don''t worry, I''ll get you out of here as soon as possible." "Huh!" Having finished the last bite of noodles, Lin Tian wiped his mouth and looked up at Chen Yixuan with a smile, "No worries, I''ll solve this myself." "What can you possibly solve? Alright, I''ll do what I can to help," Chen Yixuan sighed, shaking her head helplessly. Thinking of something, Chen Yixuan then turned to the police officer who had been standing aside and said, "Don''t cuff him again later." "This¡­" The officer hesitated, then looked troubled at Chen Yixuan, "These are the chief''s orders, I''m already pushing the limits with what I''ve done." "What did you say¡­" Chen Yixuan was starting to get angry when she heard this. "Alright, come and cuff me!" Lin Tian interrupted Chen Yixuan, sat himself on the chair, and turned his hands behind his back. Uh¡­ Seeing Lin Tian so cooperative, the officer was startled. "Well, come on, what are you waiting for?" Lin Tian frowned at the officer''s hesitation. The officer shook his head and then went over to re-cuff Lin Tian''s hands to the chair. While being handcuffed, Lin Tian looked up at Chen Yixuan and said with a smile, "Alright, thanks for your help. I''ll take care of the rest. I can get out on my own. I have a way." Lin Tian''s face was calm, but his eyes were filled with deep anger. "You don''t understand anything, you don''t know¡­" Chen Yixuan started to say something, then shook her head, ultimately leaving without finishing her sentence. She sighed and walked away. As Chen Yixuan left, the police officer also stepped out. Suddenly, Lin Tian was alone in the entire interrogation room. Looking at the empty room, Lin Tian took a deep breath, leaned back in the chair, and slowly closed his eyes. Lin Tian was very annoyed, very angry. But Lin Tian remained very calm! True anger isn''t about shouting or screaming, it''s about maintaining a placid exterior, much like a volcano on the verge of eruption -- that is real anger! Now, Lin Tian was seething, extremely infuriated! "Huff!" He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Now I must think of a way to get out of here first. If I don''t, my family will start to worry, and I still have classes tomorrow. Moreover, many issues can''t be resolved if I don''t get out." Every time he thought about this situation, Lin Tian''s face was filled with annoyance. He swore to himself he would get revenge; he had never been toyed with like this before. "However, all of this can only be dealt with after I get out. If not, everything is finished!" Lin Tian pondered silently. If Lin Tian really wanted to leave, no one here could stop him. Don''t assume that just because his hands were cuffed, he was helpless. But taking the hard approach was definitely not the wise choice. Lin Tian didn''t want to become a national fugitive by tomorrow. Lin Tian still needed to live here; he had family and friends. Forcing his way out was a foolish method. Invisibility? Lin Tian thought of invisibility. But... Thinking this, Lin Tian looked up at the surveillance camera in the corner of the wall, then shook his head. If he turned invisible, the camera would surely capture it. If a person in the room suddenly disappeared and someone were to review the footage, they would definitely discover this bizarre phenomenon. At that point, it would be more than just becoming a fugitive; he would likely be caught and then dissected into pieces. "These methods won''t work. It seems I''ll have to use conventional tactics," Lin Tian considered in silence. "What method should I use?" Lin Tian fell into deep thought. "Click!" Just as Lin Tian was reflecting, suddenly, the sound of a door opening rang out. Hearing this noise, Lin Tian''s eyelids lifted as he glanced at the doorway. Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire Upon seeing who it was, Lin Tian''s eyes immediately narrowed! Lin Long! The person was the same one he had beaten up the day before. Although Lin Tian didn''t know his name, he recognized him. At that moment, Lin Long''s right hand was still wrapped in gauze, evidently still not recovered from where Lin Tian had stepped on him yesterday. Giving Lin Tian a glance, Lin Long turned to look at the police officer beside him, "Cuff his feet for me!" Hearing this, the officer hesitated momentarily, but still went ahead and cuffed Lin Tian''s feet. Lin Tian sat without moving, letting the officer cuff both of his feet. Seeing Lin Tian handcuffed hand and foot, Lin Long then walked towards him, smiling smugly. Standing in front of Lin Tian, he kicked fiercely at Lin Tian''s thigh, cursing, "Fuck, you think you''re so tough? Come on, fight back!" As he spoke, he kicked at Lin Tian again! Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, his muscles tensed, but he allowed the kicks. After kicking Lin Tian viciously several times, Lin Long finally stopped, grabbed Lin Tian by the hair and sneered, "Kid, you think you''re so tough? Come on, then? Too weak now, huh? Sb!" "Ptoo!" Saying this, Lin Long spat directly towards Lin Tian''s face! Smack! Lin Tian''s head jerked to the side, quickly dodging, but the distance was too close, and some of the spit still landed on Lin Tian''s face. Lin Tian took a deep breath, his face turning ashen! Noticing Lin Tian''s expression, Lin Long held Lin Tian''s hair and taunted, "You think you''re so tough, huh? Come on then! Can''t handle it? Sb!" With that, Lin Long slapped Lin Tian hard across the face! "Yah!" Lin Tian roared in anger, his muscles tensed as his handcuffed hands suddenly split apart! Crack! Bang! In an instant, the entire chair fell to pieces! "Yah!" Lin Tian bellowed in fury! Bang! In a flash, the handcuffs were snapped asunder by Lin Tian''s sheer force! Chapter 168 Hooked Lin Tian forcibly broke the handcuffs and, looking at the stunned Lin Long, swung his hand back!Smack! A loud slap! Lin Long was instantly flung out by Lin Tian! Pfft! A blood-stained tooth flew out! Bang! Lin Long''s body heavily fell to the ground! He roughly wiped the saliva off his face and, with a cold expression, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, glanced at Lin Long''s bandaged right hand, and then stomped down hard! "Ah!" A scream followed immediately! Lin Tian ground his foot down hard and slightly exerted force, crack! The sound of a bone breaking echoed! With a cold snort, Lin Tian bent down, lifted Lin Long''s body, slammed him against the wall, and coldly looked at him, "Didn''t you just call me to beat you up? I''m here, what about you!" After speaking, Lin Tian slapped him again. Bang! He directly knocked him to the ground. "Don''t move!" Everything happened so quickly, it took a while for the police to react. Then he hastily pulled out the handgun from his waist. Noticing his action, Lin Tian''s leg muscles tensed instantly, and he kicked hard! Whoosh! Lin Tian lunged forward, hand trembling! Smack! The handgun, just raised by the police officer, was instantly knocked out of his hand by Lin Tian! Feeling the searing pain in his wrist, the policeman was stunned. After giving him a glance, Lin Tian stepped towards the handgun, bent down, and picked up the handgun from the ground. Click! Lin Tian disengaged the safety of the handgun. Hearing this sound, the policeman broke out in cold sweat. "Bang!" Suddenly, the interrogation room door was kicked open. Whoosh¡ªa group of policemen rushed in. "What''s happening? What''s wrong?" Everyone was puzzled, and then, seeing the handgun in Lin Tian''s hand, they were startled, and those with handguns quickly drew their own, aiming at Lin Tian. Lin Tian held the handgun, aiming it at Lin Long. "Don''t move, put down the gun!" People kept shouting at Lin Tian loudly. Lin Tian remained silent, pointing the handgun at Lin Long. "Put down the gun!" Noticing Lin Tian''s actions, everyone became tense. But Lin Tian remained unmoved. Lying on the ground, looking at the dark muzzle pointed at him, Lin Long swallowed nervously, his heart beating frantically. He regretted coming here. He could have never imagined that Lin Tian was so twisted to break free even when handcuffed. Too twisted! "Lin Tian, stop! Put down the gun!" Just then, a sharp cry sounded. Hearing this familiar voice, Lin Tian turned his head and saw Chen Yixuan looking at him anxiously. After scanning Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian''s gaze slowly moved across the other policemen''s faces, he spoke softly, "Call your director over!" "I am the director!" Suddenly, a steady voice came from outside. Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian looked up slightly and then saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a square face entering from outside. Seeing this person enter, the surrounding policemen cleared a path. S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Director!" Someone whispered softly. Zhong Guo gestured with his hand to stop him and said calmly to Lin Tian, "I am the Director of the Wu''an City Public Security Bureau, tell me if you have any concerns." After scanning him, Lin Tian spoke softly, "Come here, everyone else, leave." Quietly observing Lin Tian for a while, Zhong Guo, with a calm face, pointed at Lin Long on the ground and said, "He leaves too." "Everyone leave, just keep you here, I have something to tell you." After scanning Lin Long, a smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face. "Let him out first!" Zhong Guo pointed at Lin Long. Lin Tian did not object, just glanced coldly at Lin Long and his lips twitched, "Get out!" Hearing this, Lin Long scrambled frantically and ran out. Seeing Lin Long leave, Zhong Guo breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Lin Tian who was pointing a handgun at him, and waved his hand, telling the other police officers in a deep voice, "You all go out!" "Director!" someone called out anxiously upon hearing this. "Out!" Zhong Guo barked. Hearing Zhong Guo''s angry shout, the other police officers hesitated for a moment, then left one after another. Glancing at Chen Yixuan who hadn''t moved, Lin Tian''s eyelids lifted, "You too, get out!" Glaring fiercely at Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan said angrily, "Don''t do anything stupid!" "Out!" Lin Tian said coldly. "You..." Glaring at Lin Tian again, Chen Yixuan did not move. "Please, go out!" Zhong Guo spoke up this time. Hearing this, after hesitating momentarily, Chen Yixuan turned and left. "Close the door!" Lin Tian said as she was leaving. "Bang!" Subsequently, the door was slammed shut by Chen Yixuan. With the door shut, the room was left with only Lin Tian and Zhong Guo. Looking at Lin Tian, Zhong Guo smiled and said, "I know you, Lin Tian, you''ve helped our police department a lot." "Heh!" Lin Tian chuckled lightly and took a coin out of his pocket, flicking it against the wall. Clack! Instantly, a cracking sound occurred. The surveillance camera in the corner was immediately shattered by Lin Tian. Glancing at the broken camera, Lin Tian quickly closed the door of the interrogation room. After doing all this, Lin Tian finally relaxed, smiled at Zhong Guo and said, "Now we can talk." After giving Lin Tian a glance, Zhong Guo smiled and said, "You are still very capable. Put the gun down, before you commit a major mistake." Lin Tian smiled faintly, then put away the handgun and engaged the safety, saying with a smile, "Putting down the gun is no problem, but I advise you not to run, you should know my abilities." "No problem!" Zhong Guo smiled faintly, then said, "About your matter..." "Stop!" Lin Tian cut Zhong Guo off and said with a smile, "My matter can wait, let''s talk about yours first." "My matter?" Zhong Guo was puzzled. "Yes!" Lin Tian said, taking three coins from his pocket, smiling warmly at him, "Do you believe in divination?" Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire "Hm?" Zhong Guo looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled face. Without saying a word, Lin Tian flicked the three coins! Whirring~! Suddenly, the three coins spun rapidly on the ground like three silver tops. After ten seconds, the coins stopped. As soon as the coins stopped, a flood of information entered Lin Tian''s mind. Feeling the information in his mind, Lin Tian''s eyes brightened. Smiling, he looked up at Zhong Guo and said slowly, "Your name is Zhong Guo, who was promoted to the head of the Public Security Bureau a year ago. You have two sons and a daughter." Hearing this, Zhong Guo''s expression slightly shifted. Noticing Zhong Guo''s expression, Lin Tian smiled faintly and continued, "You wore patterned underwear today, you have 508 yuan in your pocket, and your socks have been worn for two days!" As he said this, Lin Tian paused, smiling merrily at Zhong Guo. By this time, Zhong Guo was already stunned, staring at Lin Tian. His face was full of disbelief, If the earlier information was somewhat understandable as Lin Tian''s attention to detail, how he knew what underwear or how many days the socks had been worn was baffling. Moreover, knowing precisely how much money he had on him. Thinking this, Zhong Guo hurriedly pulled out his pocket, counted carefully, and indeed, it was 508 yuan. Considering he had just bought a pack of cigarettes an hour ago, even he was not clear about the exact amount of money he had. Lin Tian had been detained the whole time, how could he possibly know? How could that be? Instantly, Zhong Guo''s look at Lin Tian changed. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s mouth curved slightly, revealing a slight smile, knowing that Zhong Guo had taken the bait! Chapter 169 Rest Assured Zhong Guo had taken the bait.And now it was time for the next step. Thinking of this, Lin Tian stood up and went to the desk in the interrogation room, picking up the paper and pen on the desk. Lin Tian hastily wrote a few characters, and after finishing, tore another piece of paper and wrote some more. He wrote on three pieces in total. Lin Tian folded these three pieces of paper into three pentagrams and then marked them. Holding the three pentagrams in his hand, Lin Tian handed them to Zhong Guo, "You take these. Open the first one in one hour, the second one two hours later, and the third one after you''ve seen the second pentagram." "Remember!" Lin Tian paused here, looking at him seriously, "Do not open them early. If you do, I won''t be able to save you!" As he spoke, Lin Tian stuffed the three pentagrams into Zhong Guo''s palm. Zhong Guo held them, looking utterly bewildered at Lin Tian. This time he was truly confused. The things Lin Tian had shown just now made Zhong Guo believe in Lin Tian''s magic. But his own knowledge told him this was impossible. Two conflicting thoughts crossed his mind, casting doubt. After a glance at him, Lin Tian knew it wasn''t the right time yet; in two hours he could make his demands. With that thought, Lin Tian waved his hand, "You can go out now!" "Uh..." Holding the pentagrams, Zhong Guo was stunned again. sea??h th§× N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Initially, Zhong Guo had planned to persuade Lin Tian, but who could have known that Lin Tian would take the initiative in their conversation from the start? And now, without any need for persuasion, Lin Tian was letting him go so easily. Could this be real? Startled and after a pause, Zhong Guo looked deeply at Lin Tian, then picked up the handgun Lin Tian had placed on the desk, and turned to walk out. "Click!" With the sound of the door opening, the anxiously waiting police officers all instantly went on high alert. As the door opened, Zhong Guo walked out with a calm expression. "Chief, are you alright?" Seeing Zhong Guo come out, someone immediately asked anxiously. "I''m fine!" Zhong Guo waved his hand, then said to everyone, "Disperse, don''t let word about this get out." "But..." Everyone hesitated, looking toward Lin Tian in the room. Lin Tian dared to threaten someone with a gun; such behavior was pretty severe. Plus, Lin Tian seemed so dangerous. Seeing these hesitant people, Zhong Guo knitted his brows and shouted, "What are you all waiting for, get out. Also, Chen Yixuan, stay." After everyone had left, Zhong Guo told Chen Yixuan, "Stay here and watch him. Without my order, no one is allowed inside." He paused, then after thinking a bit, added, "Accommodate any requests he makes, as long as he stays in this room." "Yes!" Chen Yixuan nodded. Turning around to give the interrogation room one last look, Zhong Guo left with a grave expression. An hour later, Zhong Guo walked on the way home, still preoccupied with thoughts about Lin Tian. "It''s been an hour now; I should be able to open and see!" Thinking this, Zhong Guo pulled out the three pentagrams from his pocket, selecting the one marked with a 1. "Boom!" Just when Zhong Guo was about to open the pentagram, suddenly, a loud noise came from in front of him. Snap! Seeing the flowerpot that had landed in front of him, Zhong Guo was startled and looked up. He saw a household''s pet cat walking across a balcony above him. Seeing this, Zhong Guo''s brow furrowed; that was too careless. What if it had hit someone on the head? For a moment, he was stunned; then, suddenly thinking of something, Zhong Guo gasped, hurriedly dismantling the number one pentagram. Upon opening it, the words written inside made Zhong Guo break out into a cold sweat: "At this moment, a planter falls from above you, nearly hitting you!" Shock! Seeing these words, Zhong Guo was truly startled. How could this be possible? How could he have foreseen something that would happen an hour later? Could it be that he really had some divination skills? With a look of uncertainty and suspicion, Zhong Guo returned home. Back at home, he still seemed somewhat disconcerted, constantly thinking about Lin Tian. After arriving home, he kept glancing anxiously at the clock on the wall, waiting anxiously. He desperately wanted to know what was written on the second slip of paper. Several times he wanted to open it but managed to restrain himself. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire "Ding!" Time was up. As soon as the time had come, Zhong Guo hurriedly unfolded the note. But before he could even look at it, suddenly, his phone rang. Frowning, Zhong Guo answered the call: "Hello? Old Zhong? Xiaoming got into a fight with his classmates and sent someone to the hospital. I''m at the hospital now, I''ll be back in a bit." As soon as the call connected, his wife''s voice came through the phone. Hearing this, Zhong Guo''s heart skipped a beat, and he muttered a few distracted words before hanging up the call. Immediately after, Zhong Guo opened the second slip of paper. The words written on it made him break out into a cold sweat: "Your son got into a fight and sent his classmate to the hospital." Shock! Seeing the words, he was truly startled. Zhong Guo felt a terrifying chill. That feeling, as if everything about him, past or future, was known to someone else! This is too horrifying! After being dazed for a moment, thinking of something, Zhong Guo hurriedly opened the third slip of paper. With just one glance, Zhong Guo was frozen in shock, his face ashen! ** On the other hand, Chen Yixuan was staring speechlessly at the carefree Lin Tian. "Hey, can you stop being so self-satisfied?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian with a frown. "Do I? No, not at all!" Lin Tian held a cup of cola, crossed his legs comfortably, and nodded his head to some rhythm, looking very relaxed. "Aren''t you being a bit too arrogant? You should think about how you''re going to get out of here!" Chen Yixuan said with a look of disbelief. "I''m not being arrogant at all. Oh, by the way, buy me another ice cream, will you? I haven''t had one in so long, I''m really craving it!" Lin Tian chuckled with a grin. "That''s enough from you!" Chen Yixuan stood up angrily, glaring at Lin Tian and scolded, "What''s the matter with you, thinking this place is your home." Seeing Chen Yixuan genuinely angry, Lin Tian pouted and muttered under his breath, "Didn''t you say you''d try to accommodate my requests, sheesh!" "What did you say?" Chen Yixuan glared at him. "Nothing!" Lin Tian chuckled awkwardly, glancing left and right. Seeing Lin Tian behaving this way, Chen Yixuan said annoyed: "I can''t believe I''ve been helping you so earnestly. If I had known what you were like, I wouldn''t have bothered with you in the first place!" "Relax!" Lin Tian waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile, "I told you, the chief of police himself is going to let me out." "Let you out? Do you think you''re the son of the president or something? Keep dreaming!" Chen Yixuan looked disdainful. She knew very well whom Lin Tian had offended, and getting out easily would be a mere fantasy. "Don''t believe it then, fine. Hmm, he should be on his way here now," Lin Tian said while checking the time on his phone. The time should be just about right! Chapter 170 Comes Out Lin Tian checked the time on his cell phone and calculated; it should be about time for Zhong Guo to come looking for him."Alright, stop bluffing. You better think about what to do!" Chen Yixuan shook her head in disbelief. She took Lin Tian''s words as a joke. "Here they come!" Suddenly, Lin Tian looked towards the door. He heard footsteps. "Pff! Cut it out!" Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. She didn''t believe Lin Tian''s words at all and thought he was just messing with her. "Click~" As the door opened, Zhong Guo walked in with a rather serious expression. As soon as he entered, Zhong Guo glanced at Lin Tian and then turned to Chen Yixuan, saying, "You go out. Without my order, no one is allowed in." "Eh..." At this point, Chen Yixuan was stunned. She gazed dumbly at Zhong Guo. She couldn''t believe that the chief actually came. How did Lin Tian know? Turning her head, Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian with a dazed expression. Noticing Chen Yixuan''s astonished gaze, Lin Tian lifted his eyebrows smugly. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire Already somewhat irritable, Zhong Guo frowned and barked, "What are you staring at? Get out!" "Yes!" Regaining her composure, Chen Yixuan nodded hastily. After Chen Yixuan left and closed the door behind her, Zhong Guo then turned his gaze back to Lin Tian. With slightly furrowed brows, Zhong Guo quietly looked at Lin Tian, saying nothing. With his legs crossed, Lin Tian smiled at Zhong Guo and cheerily said, "You saw the note, right?" Zhong Guo was silent for a while, not speaking. After a long moment, he looked at Lin Tian and asked, "Is all this true?" "What do you think?" Lin Tian smiled faintly. Taking a deep breath, Zhong Guo looked at Lin Tian seriously, "Will my son really die within a day?" At this, Lin Tian could clearly feel Zhong Guo''s breathing quicken. Nodding slightly, Lin Tian spoke softly, "If I don''t intervene, then definitely." Taking a deep breath and slowly closing his eyes, Zhong Guo, after a while, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Tian, "Speak, what are your demands!" Zhong Guo naturally guessed that Lin Tian had an ulterior motive, otherwise, he wouldn''t have made such an effort to make him believe. Hearing Zhong Guo say this, a flash of amusement passed through Lin Tian''s eyes. Finally, it had come. Lin Tian sat up straight, leaning forward intently, "Release me immediately." "Can do! No problem!" Zhong Guo had anticipated such a demand from Lin Tian. This request was entirely within his power to grant. After all, bringing Lin Tian in was not entirely legal, and his behavior yesterday warranted at most a few days of detention. Releasing him was not a problem at all. As for Mayor Lin''s blame, could it be compared to his son''s life? Surprised that Zhong Guo agreed so readily, Lin Tian got up and walked towards the door, saying as he went, "Alright then, I''ll be going first." "Wait, what about my son?" Zhong Guo panicked as he saw Lin Tian leaving. Lin Tian paused, turned around with a smile, and said, "Just keep your son indoors tomorrow, and he''ll be fine." "That''s it?" Zhong Guo was taken aback. Was it really that simple? "What else did you expect?" Lin Tian smiled faintly. With that, he turned and left. Seeing Lin Tian walk away, Zhong Guo truly wanted to keep him there. What was this? Just staying inside? That was too simple, wasn''t it? Could it be a scam? Was he being played? At this moment, within his heart, Zhong Guo started to suspect Lin Tian, but the previous note incident made him dare not act rashly. If he did something that cost his own son his life, that would truly be a loss. However, letting Lin Tian just walk away like this was something Zhong Guo could not come to terms with; he constantly felt like he had been played. Thus, the instant Lin Tian was about to step out of the door, Zhong Guo called out to him again. "What now?" Turning his head, Lin Tian looked at him with some impatience. "Even though you''re leaving now, you know who you''ve angered, and you''re definitely going to have trouble. Even if I don''t do anything to you, it will be the same!" Zhong Guo looked at Lin Tian earnestly and, while speaking, he watched Lin Tian''s expression closely. Upon hearing this, a hint of scornful smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face, "Trouble? You don''t need to worry about that, very soon he''ll be too busy dealing with his own issues! Just you wait!" With that, Lin Tian turned around, opened the door, and left. "His own trouble?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Guo was startled and muttered to himself, "Is he talking about Mayor Lin? Will Mayor Lin be in trouble, or is it¡­" In an instant, Zhong Guo thought of Lin Tian''s abilities. Could it be that he truly has the power to topple Mayor Lin? If it really was so... At this thought, a flicker of contemplation crossed Zhong Guo''s eyes. "Click!" With the sound of a door opening, Chen Yixuan, who was waiting outside, was startled and quickly turned her head to look. "Hey, beautiful!" Seeing Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian gave a slight smile. "How... How did you get out? Where''s Director Zhong?" Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian with a shocked expression, at the same time, she peered inside. She was somewhat worried that Lin Tian had done something to Zhong Guo¡ªthat would be troublesome. Sear?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No need to look anymore, it was Director Zhong who let me out; he said I could go back," Lin Tian said with a small smile. "What? Really?" Chen Yixuan was stunned, disbelief written all over her face. She could not believe Lin Tian''s words; on what basis would Zhong Guo let Lin Tian go? Would Zhong Guo really take the risk of offending Mayor Lin to release Lin Tian? That made no sense at all. Chen Yixuan looked at Lin Tian doubtfully, and on a sudden thought, she quickly opened the door and peeked inside. She feared that Lin Tian had injured Zhong Guo and snuck out! "I let him go; there''s nothing wrong with him, he can leave," Zhong Guo said in a deep voice after casting a glance at Chen Yixuan who had stuck her head in. "Uh..." Seeing that Zhong Guo was fine, Chen Yixuan felt relieved. Although she was unclear about what ability Lin Tian had that convinced Zhong Guo to release him, the fact remained. "I''m leaving now, goodbye." Lin Tian waved and left jovially, but as soon as he turned around, he froze. He looked at the newcomer with some surprise. Lin Long! At that moment, Lin Long appeared to be in a bad state, with both his cheeks somewhat swollen, his whole appearance resembling a pig''s head. Simultaneously, his right hand had been put in a splint, looking much worse than the last time. Just as Lin Tian saw him, Lin Long saw Lin Tian. Startled to see Lin Tian actually out, Lin Long quickly walked over. Pointing at Lin Tian, Lin Long turned to Chen Yixuan and angrily demanded, "Who let him out? Who dared to let him out?" He thought it was Chen Yixuan who had released him! "I let him out!" Suddenly, a calm and steady voice came through. Accompanying this voice, Zhong Guo walked out of the interrogation room at a measured pace. Seeing Zhong Guo, Lin Long was stunned. He had not expected this outcome at all. Chapter 171 Friends of Girls Stunned for a moment, Lin Long then looked at Zhong Guo and angrily said, "Why did you let him go?"Hearing Lin Long''s aggressive tone, Zhong Guo furrowed his brow and coldly said, "I don''t have to report to you who I release, right? He did nothing wrong in the first place!" "You, fine! Just you wait!" Lin Long said, stunned with rage. Glaring at Zhong Guo with annoyance, Lin Long turned to Lin Tian and said with a cold face, "Kid, this isn''t over between us!" "Oh, is that so?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Tian''s mouth, "How are you planning to make it not over with me? Relying on your daddy? Ha, you''re just a daddy-saboteur. Let''s see if your dad can get through his own issues first!" "What do you mean by that!" Lin Long''s heart jumped at Lin Tian''s words. Lin Tian chuckled lightly, ignored him, and stepped forward to leave. Once out of the police station, Lin Tian instantly went invisible in a deserted corner. Looking at the sky, it was already late, and Lin Tian had done nothing all day but stay at the police station. "Damn it!" Just thinking about today''s ordeal made Lin Tian feel frustrated. After thinking for a bit, Lin Tian called his sister. "Hello, Fang? I''m fine, I''m out now, you didn''t tell mom and dad, did you? Hmm, I won''t be coming back, I have class tomorrow, I''m heading back to school. Okay, good." Actually, Lin Tian had called Lin Fang before and knew she hadn''t told their parents about his situation. Now, Lin Tian just wanted to make sure. Checking the time and feeling it was getting late, Lin Tian casually ate at a restaurant before taking a cab back to school. ** Zhong Guo was taken aback upon hearing this news. It took a while before he recovered, and from that moment on, he no longer harbored any doubt about Lin Tian. In his mind, Lin Tian had risen to the realm of an extraordinary person, someone to suck up to, not to offend. ** Over an hour later, Lin Tian walked through the school gates. He had only taken a few steps when suddenly, Lin Tian paused. He was stunned. At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind: "Super chain task: The ninth small task is to deliver sanitary pads to Shen Mengyi. Task completion reward: one Supernatural Point. Task failure penalty: two Supernatural Points deducted. Note: This task must be completed within ten minutes." "What? Ah! Ah?" Lin Tian was flabbergasted upon hearing the task. What kind of task is this? Damn! First, it was delivering toilet paper, and now sanitary pads? What''s going on here? "Uhm¡­" Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian snapped back to reality. This was not the time to stand there dumbfounded; he had to move, or he would fail the task. Putting his shock aside, Lin Tian hurriedly turned and ran towards the small supermarket outside the school. Arriving at the supermarket, Lin Tian headed straight for the personal care products. When Lin Tian went over there, there were two girls choosing products in that aisle. "Uhm..." Seeing this, Lin Tian felt a bit embarrassed. After waiting for a bit and seeing that the two girls showed no sign of leaving, and with time running short, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and approached. Seeing Lin Tian in such a place, the two girls looked at him curiously, with strange expressions in their eyes. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian''s face felt hot as he grabbed a pack randomly and headed to the checkout counter. "To pay!" The cashier was a girl. The girl looked at the item in Lin Tian''s hand, and after a moment, she smiled and explained, "You''re buying this for your girlfriend, right? If she needs to use it right now, it''s better to buy the type for nighttime use. What you''re holding is for daytime." "Uhm¡­" A bead of sweat appeared on Lin Tian''s forehead. Seeing Lin Tian''s embarrassed look, the girl smiled slightly, grabbed a pack of Seven Degrees Space from below and offered, "Here, this is for nighttime use, want it?" "Yeah, hurry up," Lin Tian nodded eagerly. He always felt that it was somewhat embarrassing for a man to buy this stuff. After paying, Lin Tian quickly rushed out. Running into the campus, Lin Tian scanned the area and, judging by the flashing red light around Shen Mengyi, deduced that she was not in the dormitory bathroom but apparently in the public restroom of the gym. With a sweep of his gaze, Lin Tian then quickly ran towards the gym''s restroom. While Lin Tian was rushing to the gym''s restroom, Shen Mengyi was feeling somewhat speechless in the toilet. Muttering to herself, "How come it''s so early today, seven days ahead, and the flow is so heavy..." This time her period had caught her completely off guard. She hadn''t brought any sanitary pads! In desperation, she took out her phone and called her roommate, "Hey, Cui, I''m on my period, and I didn''t bring any pads, can you bring me some? Hmm, okay, how long will you be? What? Twenty minutes? That long? Okay then, sure, just hurry up, as fast as you can! Mm!" After hanging up, Shen Mengyi pouted and grumbled to herself, "Twenty minutes, how am I supposed to wait that long! It''d be great if someone could bring them to me!" For some reason, at that moment, an image of Lin Tian popped into Shen Mengyi''s head. Thinking of Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi quickly shook her head and pouted, "Go away, why think of him right now! Really!" "Beep beep..." Suddenly, Shen Mengyi''s phone rang in her hand. Shen Mengyi picked up the phone and saw the caller ID, she was stunned. Lin Tian! It was actually Lin Tian calling! ** At that moment, Lin Tian had already arrived outside the gym''s restroom. He checked the time; it was still early, still five minutes to spare. Lin Tian wasn''t in a hurry to enter; he took out his phone and chuckled, "Mengyi must be really uncomfortable right now. Should I give her a call and tease her a bit? Hmm..." His eyes twinkling mischievously, Lin Tian dialed Shen Mengyi''s number. "Hello, Mengyi?" "Don''t call me Mengyi, and why are you calling me?" S§×ar?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "I, of course, have come to solve your problem!" Lin Tian chuckled. "What problem?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback. "Don''t you know what trouble you''re in right now?" Lin Tian chuckled again. His smile had a hint of lewdness. Current trouble? Shen Mengyi paused at these words. Could it be...? Chapter 172 Story in the Toilet After glancing down at herself, Shen Mengyi looked up, slightly dazed, and thought to herself, "No way, does he know I''m on my period?That can''t be right, can it? But it''s not impossible, he knows divination after all!" Instantly, Shen Mengyi recalled the miraculous divination skills Lin Tian had demonstrated before. Could it really be... After a long pause, Shen Mengyi, still holding her phone somewhat blankly, asked, "What do you know?" "What do you think!" Lin Tian chuckled. "Spill it!" Shen Mengyi demanded, somewhat angrily. "You know, your aunt Flo has visited!" Lin Tian said, raising his eyebrows and chuckling as he held his phone. "You, you''re a pervert!" After a long pause, Shen Mengyi finally exclaimed, furious. Exasperated, Shen Mengyi slammed the phone down with a snap. After hanging up, Shen Mengyi muttered with a mixture of embarrassment and anger, "Pervert! Pervert! Dead pervert! To think he''d predict something like that! It infuriates me!" "Whew~!" Shen Mengyi panted in anger, her face showing signs of mortification. A woman''s period is a very private matter indeed. But Lin Tian had even gone so far as to predict such a thing. Pervert! "Dead pervert!" Shen Mengyi cursed heatedly. "Beep beep..." Just as Shen Mengyi was fuming, suddenly, the phone rang again. Shen Mengyi picked up the phone only to hang up immediately! It was Lin Tian calling! But the moment she hung up, the phone rang again. Looking at the caller ID with annoyance, Shen Mengyi hung up again. But soon after, the phone rang once more, still from Lin Tian. Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Mengyi answered the call, and immediately upon connecting, she yelled furiously, "Dead pervert, stop calling me!" "Uh... well, I''m outside the restroom at the gym right now, and I brought what you need right now. Do you want it?" Lin Tian''s voice came from the other end, hesitantly. "No!" Shen Mengyi hung up furiously. Staring at the phone that she had just snapped shut, Lin Tian was taken aback. Looking at the time, there were still two minutes until the ten minutes were up. Lin Tian decided to wait. If after another minute Shen Mengyi hadn''t changed her mind, he would just go in. Lin Tian had already observed that there were no other girls inside. Inside the restroom, after hanging up, it took a while for Shen Mengyi to come to her senses. Remembering what Lin Tian had just said, she muttered confusedly to herself, "What did he say just now? He brought me something I need right now, could it be..." Instantly, Shen Mengyi thought of sanitary pads, as that was all she needed at that moment. Shen Mengyi had been squatting in the restroom for over ten minutes, her legs had become numb, and it still felt uncomfortable down there. "Xiao Cui will be here in ten minutes, should I call him in to assist me? There''s nobody else here anyway!" she murmured, hesitant. "No, that would be too embarrassing!" Shen Mengyi quickly shook her head. "But my legs are so numb!" feeling her legs about to lose sensation, Shen Mengyi hesitated again. After weighing her options, Shen Mengyi finally decided to make a decision and dialed Lin Tian''s number. Outside, just as Lin Tian was about to go in, suddenly, he felt the phone in his hand start to vibrate. Picking up his phone, he saw it was Shen Mengyi calling. Upon seeing the number, Lin Tian knew there might be a chance and immediately answered, chuckling, "Beauty, what can I do for you?" "You... come in, quick, and don''t let anyone notice!" Shen Mengyi''s voice from the phone sounded hurried and tense. It was her first time doing this. "At your service!" Lin Tian chuckled, glanced around to make sure no one was there, and then walked into the ladies'' restroom. "Thud, thud..." Hearing the approaching footsteps, Shen Mengyi, squatting in the toilet stall, grew incredibly nervous. Shen Mengyi nervously asked, "Lin Tian?" "It''s me, where are you?" Lin Tian asked knowingly. Upon entering, he had immediately seen the red light flickering on Shen Mengyi and naturally knew where she was. "I''m here." Shen Mengyi''s voice came from not far away. "Then I''m coming!" After responding, Lin Tian walked toward where Shen Mengyi was. Listening to the approaching footsteps, Shen Mengyi felt her heart beating faster. She knew that she wasn''t wearing any pants right now. Arriving in front of Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian glanced at the door in front of him and stopped. Through the gap beneath the stall divider, Shen Mengyi saw Lin Tian''s feet outside and said nervously, "Just toss it under the gap of the door. I''ll pick it up myself." "Oh!" With that, Lin Tian bent down and placed the sanitary pad through the gap beneath the divider. Seeing the sudden appearance of the item in the gap, Shen Mengyi quickly grabbed it, and somewhat nervously hurried him, "You can leave now!" "Okay!" Following Lin Tian''s response, footsteps gradually receded. Hearing the footsteps grow distant, Shen Mengyi breathed a sigh of relief. She opened the sanitary pad''s packaging and started using it. A minute later, Shen Mengyi stood up. Because she had been squatting for so long, she felt both her legs were numb when she stood up. Dressed up and having flushed the toilet, Shen Mengyi grumbled as she opened the restroom door, "What a pervert, to still reckon that." "Hey, no way, you''re talking bad about me behind my back after I helped you, that''s too much!" Just as she turned around to close the door, suddenly, a male voice came from behind Shen Mengyi. Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire Shen Mengyi jumped! She whirled around and stared wide-eyed at Lin Tian standing not far behind her. Pausing for a moment, Shen Mengyi, her face crimson with shy anger, exclaimed, "Pervert, didn''t you leave?" "Uh..." Lin Tian smiled awkwardly, "I... I just wanted to see if you needed any more help." "Get lost! You pervert!" Shen Mengyi snapped, then quickly walked toward the exit. But after only a few steps, Shen Mengyi suddenly cried out as her body fell backward. She had forgotten that her legs were numb and she couldn''t walk fast. S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing Shen Mengyi about to fall, Lin Tian was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support her. Supported by Lin Tian''s hand, Shen Mengyi breathed a sigh of relief, thankful she hadn''t fallen. But after a pause, she suddenly felt something off, turned her head to look at her buttocks, and then at Lin Tian''s hand pressing there, raised her head and angrily said, "Where are you putting your hand!" "Uh, uh..." Lin Tian awkwardly moved his hand away and sheepishly said, "Accidentally, it was accidental!" "Hmph! Die, pervert!" Shen Mengyi snorted coldly. She stood up, gave Lin Tian a glare, and prepared to leave. "Mengyi!" But before Shen Mengyi had taken a few steps, suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the restroom. It was her roommate Xiaocui''s voice. At this voice, both Shen Mengyi and Lin Tian were stupefied. This... Chapter 173 Task Completed "Mengyi, I''m here!"Listening to the approaching footsteps, Shen Mengyi panicked. She turned to look at Lin Tian, realizing it was already too late to leave. Taking a deep breath, Shen Mengyi hastily waved her hands, whispering, "Quick! Quick, hide!" Lin Tian nodded repeatedly and hurriedly turned to run into a restroom. The moment Lin Tian entered the restroom, Wang Xiaocui walked in. Seeing Shen Mengyi standing there, Wang Xiaocui was taken aback. Holding a sanitary pad, she said in astonishment, "Mengyi, why have you come out? Didn''t you say..." "Ah? Oh, a classmate just came in, and she happened to have one, so I borrowed one from her," Shen Mengyi explained awkwardly. As she spoke, her gaze kept darting toward the direction where Lin Tian was hiding, her face tense. "You seem very nervous?" Wang Xiaocui remarked curiously. "Ah? Really? No, not at all!" Startled, Shen Mengyi quickly smiled. With a puzzled frown, Wang Xiaocui walked toward the restroom, saying, "I mean, you seem a bit odd. If I had known you had one, I wouldn''t have hurried over like this." "I''m going to use the bathroom; wait for me for a moment." Saying this, Wang Xiaocui opened the restroom door. "Ah!" Seeing this, Shen Mengyi exclaimed in shock. That was the very restroom where Lin Tian was hiding! S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What''s wrong?" Wang Xiaocui turned her head, puzzled. Shen Mengyi''s eyes widened as she watched Wang Xiaocui open the restroom door. By now, the door had been opened, and Shen Mengyi could clearly see inside, but there was no one there. Where was Lin Tian? She had just seen him go in there, hadn''t she? "What''s wrong with you? You always seem a bit off," Wang Xiaocui said, her hand on the restroom door handle, turning her head to look curiously at Shen Mengyi. "Ah? No, nothing!" Shen Mengyi smiled awkwardly. "Strange!" Shaking her head, Wang Xiaocui gave Shen Mengyi a puzzled look, then walked into the restroom and closed the door behind her. Watching the closed restroom door, Shen Mengyi was filled with confusion. She had clearly seen Lin Tian go inside, so how could it be empty? Could she have remembered incorrectly? Inside the restroom, Lin Tian was extremely tense. He pressed his body tightly against the restroom wall, trying his best not to let Wang Xiaocui touch him. Lin Tian was indeed inside the restroom. However, the moment Wang Xiaocui opened the door, Lin Tian became invisible. At that moment, Lin Tian was pressing against the restroom wall, watching Wang Xiaocui come inside. Lin Tian had never expected such a coincidence; Wang Xiaocui had chosen the exact spot where he was hiding. Lin Tian stayed hidden against the edge, watching Wang Xiaocui come in, watching her back turned to him, watching her take off her pants. He saw a flash of white. Then Wang Xiaocui squatted down. "Shushing..." A sound of water followed right after. Hearing this sound, Lin Tian felt awkward. He didn''t want to look, but his gaze kept unintentionally glancing over. The desire to peek is universal, and Wang Xiaocui was also quite attractive. After finishing, Wang Xiaocui stood up to dress. As she put on her pants, she walked toward the restroom switch, and Lin Tian was right there. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s heart tensed. Damn! It was too narrow; she was bound to touch him! Watching Wang Xiaocui get closer, Lin Tian swallowed nervously. What to do? Lin Tian''s mind raced. Just as Wang Xiaocui reached out her hand, suddenly, Lin Tian slapped his forehead, looking very annoyed. Damn! How stupid, why did he have to hide like this when he could fly! With that thought, Lin Tian willed it, and his body slowly lifted off. Whoosh! As Lin Tian willed it, his body gently floated up. Turning on the water tap, he flushed the restroom, and Wang Xiaocui left without any suspicion. "Let''s go!" Wang Xiaocui smiled at Shen Mengyi. "Ah, okay!" Shen Mengyi nodded blankly, still occasionally glancing back toward the restroom as they left. She was puzzled about where Lin Tian had gone. Could she really have remembered it wrong? Was he not there? "Phew!" Watching the two girls leave, Lin Tian exhaled deeply; what just happened had almost scared him to death. That was too thrilling. Taking a deep breath, he knew he couldn''t stay here any longer, so he flew out immediately. Once outside, in a secluded corner, Lin Tian deactivated his invisibility. Enjoy new chapters from My Virtual Library Empire After becoming visible again, Lin Tian walked towards the dormitory while immersing part of his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness. As Lin Tian immersed his consciousness in the Sea of Consciousness, an electronic synthesized voice in his mind announced, "Super Chain Task: The ninth minor task of delivering a sanitary pad to Shen Mengyi is complete. Task completion reward: one Superpower Point." Hearing this announcement, Lin Tian scanned the space and indeed found an additional Superpower Point. "Added another drop of Superpower Point, now I have eight Superpower Points," he mused quietly as he walked toward the dormitory. Chapter 174 Su Momo While browsing through the superpower menu, Lin Tian walked toward the dorm.Before he knew it, Lin Tian had reached the boys'' dormitory. He glanced up at the building, pulled his consciousness back from the Sea of Consciousness, and then hurried upstairs. He hadn''t seen the guys for more than a day, and Lin Tian actually missed these screw-ups. Hurrying to the third floor, Lin Tian was about to rush into the dorm when suddenly, he saw Lin Tao and two others walking out. And judging by their demeanor, it seemed like they were going out. After a quick glance at the trio, Lin Tian asked somewhat astonished, "What''s up? Are you going out?" Seeing Lin Tian, Guo Rong''s eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Lin Tian, you''re just in time, let''s go together." "What''s going on?" Lin Tian looked at the three somewhat astonished. "Let''s talk while we walk!" Feng Jiabao tugged at Lin Tian and then began dragging him downstairs. Uh... Although it was a bit odd, Lin Tian still followed them downstairs. "What''s the big deal, spill it!" While walking downstairs, Lin Tian looked at the three curiously. At the same time, he noticed that Lin Tao seemed a bit off today. It seemed a bit... somber? "Let me tell you, do you know what big event happened after you left?" Guo Rong seemed a bit mysterious. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled. The big thing Lin Tian could think of was his own capture. But obviously, they were not talking about that. So Lin Tian looked at Guo Rong with a puzzled face. "Let me tell you..." Guo Rong paused slightly, glanced at Lin Tao, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled: "Let me tell you, Lin Tao has fallen for a girl!" "Cut it out!" Hearing this, Lin Tian was speechless, giving the three a helpless look: "So he has a crush, so what? Just go for it, what''s the big deal in that!" As he said this, he glanced at Lin Tao beside him, Lin Tian grinned and put his arm around Lin Tao''s shoulder, laughing, "Taotao, don''t tell me you lack the courage to even pursue her!" "Not at all, you don''t know how stubborn this guy is. He''s been rejected like eight or ten times, and he''s going again!" Feng Jiabao said exasperatedly. "Exactly, exactly. We''re just going to accompany him this time," Guo Rong also interjected. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire "Crack!" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled, then looked incredulous at Lin Tao: "Taotao, you''re really persistent, huh? Rejected so many times? And all within one day? Impressive!" he said, giving a thumbs up. Lin Tao pursed his lips and said nothing. Glancing at Lin Tao, Lin Tian, with his arm still around his shoulder, raised an eyebrow: "But what does that girl look like that you''re so hooked?" "But to tell you the truth, Lin Tao has quite the eye, that girl is beyond words, one word¡ªawesome!" Guo Rong chuckled aside. "Really?" Lin Tian''s eyes brightened, chuckling: "Then I really need to see this for myself." While saying this, the four of them continued walking downstairs to the dorm building. Arriving downstairs at the dorm, they headed towards the academic buildings. Along the way, Lin Tian looked curiously at the trio: "What exactly happened, why was he rejected so many times? If someone pestered me like that, I''d smack him!" Saying this, Lin Tian chuckled and tousled Lin Tao''s shoulder, raising an eyebrow. "You don''t know, that girl is the president of the Swordsmanship Society. She said that only someone who can defeat her can be her boyfriend. She said she doesn''t need weaklings. So... you know!" Guo Rong chuckled. "Uh..." Stunned for a moment, Lin Tian said astonished, "So Lin Tao was going to challenge her seven or eight times? And got rejected?" "Of course!" Feng Jiabao shrugged helplessly. "Uh..." Staring at Lin Tao, after a while, Lin Tian shook his head helplessly: "Taotao, I really admire your courage!" Glancing coldly at Lin Tian, Lin Tao snorted and turned his head away somewhat annoyed: "If you''re not going to help, that''s fine, but do you have to mock me? Couldn''t you at least not be so harsh?" "Uh..." Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "No way, man, I was just joking. Don''t worry, with me here, you''re definitely going to succeed. I''ve got your back!" Lin Tao glanced at Lin Tian and didn''t take it to heart, continuing forward. About ten minutes later, the four arrived at the fourth floor of the fifth teaching building, and then headed towards Hall A. "Ha! Ha!" Before they even entered, Lin Tian heard loud shouts. Arriving at the entrance, Lin Tian glanced at the sign at the door, which read¡ªthree black characters of the Swordsmanship Society. After a quick look, the four of them walked in. The moment Lin Tian and his friends entered, many people inside turned their eyes towards them. As they looked over, Lin Tian also glanced at them. Lin Tian swept his gaze around and saw that there were about forty or fifty people in the room, all dressed in white training outfits, some with masks on their heads and swords in their hands. Lin Tian''s gaze swept over these people, and suddenly, his eyes brightened. Chapter 175 Ill Help You His gaze swept over the members of the swordsmanship club, and suddenly, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up, fixing on a girl. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.A beauty! Truly a beauty! With long, dark, and silky hair, fair skin, and most importantly, her height, which was around one hundred seventy-five centimeters, she even looked taller than Lin Tian. This height afforded her a pair of long, beautiful legs. Slender and straight, they were a sight of beauty. What particularly caught Lin Tian''s attention was the girl''s expression¡ªher eyes appeared sharp and spirited. She seemed to be a girl with a strong personality and definite opinions. After glancing at the girl, Lin Tian slightly turned his head and whispered into Guo Rong''s ear, "Is it this girl?" "Yes!" Guo Rong whispered back, "Her name is Su Momo,m a Japanese Chinese." "Oh!" Lin Tian nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Lin Tao beside him. Just then, as Lin Tao entered, his eyes were fixed on Su Momo, treating everyone else as if they were air. Many in the swordsmanship club noticed them as they entered, gradually quieting the scene. Everyone turned their eyes toward Lin Tian and his friends. After a glance at Lin Tian and his friends, a tall, sunny-faced boy of about one hundred eighty centimeters approached them with a hostile expression. Annoyed, the young man swept his gaze over Lin Tian''s group and glared at Lin Tao, shouting angrily, "I told you, don''t come here anymore. If you keep this up, I won''t be nice!" Lin Tao ignored him, still staring at Su Momo not far away. Su Momo glanced at Lin Tao and shook her head helplessly, then stepped forward. As Su Momo approached, Lin Tian realized how tall she really was, especially her long, straight legs. Standing in front of Lin Tao, Su Momo looked somewhat helpless and after a brief silence, she spoke, "Please go back, I have said before, my boyfriend must be stronger than I am! If you want to be my boyfriend, please defeat the sword in my hand first!" she said, raising the sword in her hand. After a pause, Lin Tao, looking serious, looked up at Su Momo, "I''m ready, I want to challenge you again!" Su Momo looked somewhat helpless, shook her head, and apologized, "You''ve said this many times before, but you''ve failed every time. I won''t agree to it!" Having said that, Su Momo turned away and ignored Lin Tao. "Give me a chance!" Lin Tao stepped forward. "What now?" Seeing Lin Tao approach, the young man shook his sword and blocked Lin Tao. Su Momo then paused, turned, and after a moment of silence, looked at Lin Tao and said gently, "You are the most talented Sword Dao practitioner I have ever seen. Every time you come to challenge, I see significant improvement. Go back for now, keep cultivating, and I''ll wait for the day you truly challenge me successfully. Then, I''ll give you an opportunity." "I, I want to give it a try now," Lin Tao hesitated and then spoke. "Are you annoying? You want a contest, right? Come on, first compete with me. If you can''t even win against me, how can you talk about winning against the club president?" The young man, upon hearing Lin Tao''s persistence, got angry. Focusing on Su Momo, Lin Tao knew she would not give him another chance this time, but if he could win against this man, there still might be a chance. Thinking this, Lin Tao nodded, "Alright, let''s compete!" Immediately, the two took up long swords and began their contest on the spot. Swoosh swoosh! Watching Lin Tao''s movements, Lin Tian found that Lin Tao wielded his sword quite proficiently. However, he had never seen Lin Tao practicing this skill before. Could it be that he actually grew so much in one day? Lin Tian was slightly taken aback. Clap clap! Just as Lin Tian was amazed by Lin Tao''s talent, the two on the field began their offensive. Initially, Lin Tao was able to parry, looking evenly matched at first, but soon, Lin Tao was overpowered. Lin Tao had been pushed into defense. In the end, he couldn''t even defend himself. He was completely suppressed! Whiz whiz! Two strikes of Sword Aura flashed by! Lin Tao got hit several times on the chest, with the final strike hitting his hand. His hand hurt, and Lin Tao involuntarily relaxed his grip, and the sword he was holding snapped from his hand! "Leave," the man said indifferently, looking at the sword that had fallen on the ground. With his head lowered, Lin Tao remained silent. After standing quietly for a while, Lin Tao turned and left. Watching Lin Tao silently walk over, Lin Tian and the others didn''t know what to say. "Let''s go," Lin Tao said, his mood seemingly downcast as he glanced at his three roommates. "Trash, thinking he could challenge the president with that level?" "Right, a toad lusting after a swan''s flesh!" "..." As they were leaving, whispers of mockery followed from behind. "Fuck, what are you saying?" Hearing these unpleasant words, Feng Jiabao angrily turned around and stared at those people. "Let''s go, don''t talk anymore." Lin Tao pulled Feng Jiabao, forcing him to leave. Seeing this, Lin Tian didn''t say anything, following them out. Back in the dorm, the atmosphere was still downcast as Lin Tao''s mood was low. Seeing Lin Tao in that state, Lin Tian and the others could only try to console him, but it didn''t do much good. After talking for a while, it got quite late, and the dorms began to turn off the lights; everyone went to sleep. The next morning when Lin Tian got up, he was shocked to find that Lin Tao was not in his bed. Seeing that the quilt was neatly arranged, it was clear he hadn''t slept the night before. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire "Uh..." Seeing this, Lin Tian was stunned, recalling that Lin Tao hadn''t slept before they went to bed last night. Could it be that he really didn''t sleep all night? Chapter 175 Ill Help You_2 After a moment of daze, Lin Tian didn''t find anyone else in the dormitory.Seeing this, Lin Tian woke up his two roommates. After searching, he tried to call Lin Tao but no one answered, since his phone was left in the dormitory. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire After searching for a long time, finally, Guo Rong found Lin Tao on the rooftop. When Lin Tian arrived at the rooftop, he found Lin Tao sitting there drinking sullenly with four or five empty bottles beside him. Seeing Lin Tao''s despondent expression, Lin Tian was at a loss for words. He walked over and persuaded, "Hey, is it worth it? It''s just a woman!" "You don''t understand! Ever since I saw her, her image has been constantly in my mind." Lin Tao glanced at Lin Tian and took another gulp of beer. Lin Tian snatched the beer bottle from his hand and angrily said, "Drink any more and it will kill you. Can''t you wait? Didn''t she say that the day you defeat her, she will give you a chance?" "I''m afraid I won''t live to see that day!" Lin Tao said somewhat gloomily. Patting Lin Tao on the shoulder, Lin Tian squatted down, looked at him earnestly, and asked, "Do you really like her that much?" "Nonsense!" Lin Tao gave Lin Tian a look. "Are you sure?" Lin Tian asked again. Lin Tao didn''t say anything, turned his head away, and didn''t bother to answer Lin Tian''s boring question. "Alright!" Lin Tian patted Lin Tao on the shoulder, stood up, took a deep breath, and said earnestly, "Since you are so serious, I''ll help you!" "You? Forget about it!" Lin Tao looked up at Lin Tian and shook his head. "Oh? You don''t believe me?" Lin Tian laughed. Giving Lin Tian a look, Lin Tao snatched the beer bottle from Lin Tian''s hand and took another drink. By his demeanor, he clearly didn''t believe what Lin Tian said. Shaking his head speechlessly, Lin Tian said to Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao beside him, "It''s up to you guys now, I''ve got to get busy." Having said that, Lin Tian turned around and left. "This..." Seeing Lin Tian just walk away like that, Guo Rong and the others were stunned. He just left? What happened to helping out? Geez! Coming down from the rooftop, Lin Tian returned to the dormitory. Back in the dormitory, Lin Tian sat in his spot, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness immerse itself in the Sea of Consciousness. As his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian instantly summoned the Superpower menu. Scanning the Superpower menu, Lin Tian''s gaze instantly focused on a superpower: ''Transfer¡ªAllows one to transfer one''s experiences to another. (Effective for one month) Requires one Superpower Point to exchange. "Transfer! That''s the superpower!" Seeing this superpower, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up. Lin Tian was planning to use this superpower to help Lin Tao. Since Lin Tian couldn''t make a move this time, the only one who could was Lin Tao, so Lin Tian planned to learn swordsmanship himself first, and then transfer that swordsmanship to Lin Tao. It''s not about transferring the superpower to Lin Tao, but transferring the swordsmanship experience to Lin Tao! After taking a glance at this superpower, Lin Tian made up his mind and opened his eyes. Opening his eyes, Lin Tian took out his computer from the cupboard, quickly turned it on, opened Baidu, and typed two words into it: Swordsmanship! As Lin Tian searched, a heap of links appeared. Lin Tian began to learn. Time passed bit by bit as Lin Tian studied, and before he knew it, the morning had gone by. In the middle, Lin Tian ate lunch and then continued studying. A few hours later, Lin Tian looked at the time on the computer; it was already two in the afternoon. "This will do." Nodding, Lin Tian closed his computer. Having studied the theoretical knowledge of swordsmanship all morning, what remained was the practice. Thinking this, Lin Tian stood up and walked outside the dormitory. While leaving, he casually locked the dormitory door. By then, the dormitory was empty except for Lin Tian. Feng Jiabao and the others had already gone to practice swordsmanship with Lin Tao. Lin Tao had not given up. He planned to challenge once he was mature enough. Locking the dormitory door, Lin Tian walked towards the grove beside the library. Next to the Wu''an University library, there was a large quiet grove. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian was standing in the grove beside the library. Glancing at the ground, Lin Tian bent over and picked up a one-meter-long, thumb-thick twig. Holding the twig, Lin Tian took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. Contemplating! At that moment, the swordsmanship materials Lin Tian had seen were flashing rapidly through his mind. With his superb learning ability, Lin Tian was rapidly absorbing the information in his mind! After standing silently for a long time, suddenly, Lin Tian opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly! His hand thrust fiercely! sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Whoosh whoosh! Lin Tian''s hand moved rapidly, fluttering! In the beginning, Lin Tian''s movements were somewhat chaotic and unfamiliar, but as time passed, his movements got faster and became more graceful! With practice, the swordsmanship information in his mind was quickly absorbed and understood by Lin Tian. Lin Tian waved continuously for an hour! An hour later, Lin Tian slowly exhaled and gradually finished his work! Now Lin Tian had completely absorbed all the swordsmanship knowledge in his mind. Holding a wooden stick, Lin Tian thought to himself, "With this level of skill, defeating Su Momo should be no problem, and if I teach this skill to Lin Tao, he should be okay too. Should I teach it to him now?" After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian decided to wait. Because as he integrated the swordsmanship knowledge from his mind, Lin Tian had developed his own ideas about swordsmanship. He also gained his own understanding of Sword Dao! Lin Tian planned to create his own swordsmanship! An awesome swordsmanship! Lin Tian took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and stood quietly. Lin Tian contemplated and evolved the ideas in his mind... Lin Tian stood like this for an hour, and after an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and flicked his wrist! Swoosh! Lin Tian''s palm thrust the wooden stick fiercely! Crack! Suddenly, a thick tree trunk in front of Lin Tian developed a round hole! Insert! The wooden stick in Lin Tian''s hand pierced directly into the tree trunk. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian was very satisfied. Just now, Lin Tian had moved very quickly, but the force he had used was not great; the strength Lin Tian employed was entirely within the range of a normal person''s strength. In other words, a normal person, with the same swordsmanship as Lin Tian, could also insert a thumb-sized wooden stick into the trunk of a tree without breaking the stick! This was the technique of strength. In that brief thrust, Lin Tian utilized his body''s posture, the vibration of tiny muscles in his body, and even considered the resistance of the wind, among other factors! These factors combined allowed Lin Tian to achieve this effect with such minimal force. This swordsmanship had been conceived by Lin Tian in just one hour! It was also the essence and summary of Lin Tian''s swordsmanship¡ªThrust! This was not just a simple thrust, but it was like the Sword Drawing Technique from martial arts novels! Although it was just one move, it was the quintessence of the technique! Simplify the complex! Gripping the wooden stick, Lin Tian pulled it out from the tree trunk. After removing the stick, Lin Tian glanced at the small round hole on the trunk, finding it to be three to four centimeters deep. "It''s good now, I can teach this skill to Lin Tao. With ''Thrust,'' nothing can go wrong!" Lin Tian inwardly nodded. "Buzz buzz..." At that moment, a fly buzzed around Lin Tian. Lin Tian glanced up at the fly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and flicked his wrist! Thrust! Crack! The fly was instantly split in half! Lin Tian gave the halved fly a faint glance and started walking outside. He was now going to find Lin Tao. Chapter 176 Come Again At that time, Lin Tao was practicing his swordsmanship in the quiet bamboo grove next to the building.After about fifteen minutes, Lin Tian found Lin Tao in the bamboo grove, practicing with his sword. To practice swordsmanship, Lin Tao had even bought a sword especially for this, of course, the sword was not sharpened. Whoosh! Whoosh! From a distance, Lin Tian noticed that Lin Tao''s skills seemed to have improved again after just one day. "He really does have some talent!" Seeing this scene, Lin Tian thought. Maybe he and Su Momo were indeed a good match. Thinking this, Lin Tian stepped forward and walked over. Hearing footsteps, Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao, who were sitting nearby playing with their phones out of boredom, instantly looked up and towards the direction where the footsteps were coming from. Upon looking, they immediately saw Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, what are you doing here?" Guo Rong asked curiously. He remembered that when they left, Lin Tian was still in the dorm watching swordsmanship videos. "Of course I came to help!" Lin Tian chuckled and walked over, turning his gaze towards Lin Tao. After watching Lin Tao make a few moves, Lin Tian suddenly spoke, "Stop for a moment." "What for?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Lin Tao stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Tian curiously. "Do you still want to beat Su Momo?" Lin Tian looked at him. Lin Tao rolled his eyes in annoyance: "If you''re asking such a stupid question, don''t ask." "Okay then, since you want to, I''ll help you!" Lin Tian chuckled. "How will you help?" Lin Tao shook the sword in his hand, sounding somewhat distracted. He didn''t believe Lin Tian at all. How could he possibly help? "Enough, no more talk, you''ll know when it''s time," Lin Tian said with a mysterious smile, then turned to ask Guo Rong, "Is Su Momo still at the swordsmanship club now?" "She should be, Taotao said she''d be there all day today." Saying this, Guo Rong looked uncertainly towards Lin Tao. Without lifting his head, Lin Tao slowly rubbed the sword in his hand and responded without looking up, "Indeed, she is there."

Lin Tian chuckled, pulled Lin Tao by the hand, and walked outside. "What for?" Lin Tao was taken aback and followed involuntarily as they walked out. "To challenge her!" Lin Tian replied while pulling Lin Tao along. "Challenge what? I''m not ready at all, I plan on going over when I''m capable enough," Lin Tao said, looking somewhat helpless. "Don''t worry, I''ll help you!" Lin Tian didn''t stop walking as he pulled Lin Tao along. "How can you help me? Stop joking around!" Lin Tao didn''t believe him and struggled with his hand in an attempt to break free from Lin Tian''s grasp. Feeling Lin Tao''s struggle, Lin Tian stopped walking and looked at him seriously, "Do you trust me?" Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire "I trust you, but..." "No buts, if you trust me, just follow me. I will help you, I''ll sort it out!" Lin Tian interrupted Lin Tao and continued to pull him forward. Despite his disbelief, Lin Tao still followed Lin Tian. Not wanting to hurt Lin Tian''s pride was one thing, but more importantly, it was as Lin Tian said; everything Lin Tian had assured had come true no matter how impossible it seemed. It was with this mindset that Lin Tao went along. Meanwhile, Guo Rong and the others were stunned for a moment before hurrying after them. The reason Lin Tian did not tell Lin Tao the reason was mainly threefold. The first was not knowing how to explain this ability. He couldn''t just say that he could impart skills, as that seemed inappropriate! So Lin Tian decided not to talk about it and planned to let Lin Tao experience it directly. As for why he didn''t impart the skills to Lin Tao right away, it was because the impartation was time-limited; the experience would wear off after a month. Lin Tian figured that imparting the skills later would give Lin Tao more time to adapt. The last reason he didn''t provide the swordsmanship to Lin Tao in advance was very important. Lin Tian wanted to show off. Imagine, when Lin Tao stepped onto the stage, when Lin Tao thought it impossible to win, suddenly discovering he had the ability. What a thrilling moment that would be. Lin Tian liked that feeling. Since Lin Tian wouldn''t say, and Lin Tao and the others didn''t keep asking, the four of them headed to the swordsmanship club. Twenty minutes later, the four arrived at the swordsmanship club again. As soon as they entered the club, the scene quieted down, and everyone turned their gaze toward the four newcomers. Seeing the four, the members of the swordsmanship club were somewhat irritated, followed by murmurs of discussion and mocking comments. "These idiots are back, will they ever learn?" "Exactly, they''re just asking for trouble! This time we''ll teach them a good lesson." "So annoying, they''re here again!" ... Chapter 177 The Awesome Lin Tao Seeing Lin Tian and his three companions, Su Momo frowned as she practiced her swordsmanship.This time, she was truly annoyed. Even though she was somewhat fond of Lin Tao''s natural talent for swordsmanship, Lin Tao was always so overconfident and unaware of his shortcomings, which really annoyed her. Glancing over the group, Su Momo turned her back to ignore them, deciding not to bother with these people this time. Seeing that Lin Tian and his friends had come over again, the young man who had defeated Lin Tao approached with a look of anger on his face. Standing in front of the four, he glared at Lin Tao with a gloomy expression and mocked, "You really have some nerve, showing up again. What do you want now?" Lin Tao didn''t say anything; to tell the truth, it wasn''t his idea to come here this time. Thinking Lin Tao was feeling guilty for not speaking, the young man continued to taunt him, "What''s the matter, wasn''t last time''s lesson enough? Do you want to try again? Come on then, this time I won''t hold back, and I''ll show you just how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!" He was truly annoyed! S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. If it weren''t for Su Momo being there, he really would have wanted to send Lin Tao to the hospital. But this time, he did not plan to hold back; he intended to teach Lin Tao a lesson. Hearing the malice in the man''s tone, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, gave him a dismissive glance, and said scornfully, "You want to compete, do you? Bring it on, just don''t cry for mommy when the time comes." Hearing Lin Tian''s taunting, the man''s eyebrows twitched; he wanted to curse but, thinking better of it, held back with a clenched jaw and said irritably, "Quit the chatter, come on! Hmph!" A flash of anger crossed his eyes; this time, he was determined to send Lin Tao to the hospital. "Go on!" Hearing the man''s words, Lin Tian pushed Lin Tao''s back, sending him forward. In that pushing moment, Lin Tian used his superpower to transfer abilities! He sent his experience to Lin Tao! "Uh..." Pushed forward by Lin Tian like this, Lin Tao couldn''t help but stagger a few steps forward. Lin Tao turned around awkwardly to look at Lin Tian. "Go on! It''s fine! Trust me!" Lin Tian gave Lin Tao an ok gesture. "..." Lin Tao was speechless. What was this supposed to mean? It was fine? There was a huge problem! Was this supposed to be help? He hadn''t seen any help! Lin Tao was speechless. Nonetheless, Lin Tao, having been pushed out by Lin Tian, could no longer back down without being ridiculed to death. With resignation, Lin Tao shook his head and stepped onto the competition stage. Seeing Lin Tao take the stage, the young man also stepped up. The two then silently faced each other. Glancing at the two competitors, a murmuring voice came from below. "Wang Bao isn''t going to show any mercy this time, right?" "How could he? Didn''t you see? Wang Bao is pissed, it''s going to be a good show!" "That guy is doomed!" someone shook their head. "Certainly, serves him right!" "Exactly, I can''t stand people like that, unable to win but still keep showing up, I''ve wanted to teach him a lesson for a long time!" "Yes, indeed..." A chorus of bragging voices rose from below; they all believed Lin Tao was going to be soundly defeated. Yet, listening to these voices, Lin Tian wore a confident expression. Defeat? How could that be possible? During that push a moment ago, Lin Tian had used his superpower to transfer his swordsmanship knowledge to Lin Tao. Now, even though Lin Tao was unaware, he would feel it as soon as he held the sword. The duel required using specific swords, so Lin Tao''s usual sword was currently with Lin Tian. Tossing a sword to Lin Tao, the young man asked, "Ready now?" "I..." Lin Tao began to say something, but upon gripping the sword, he paused, staring at it in bewilderment. This feeling... The sword in Lin Tao''s hand felt incredibly familiar, as if it were an extension of his own body. Very familiar! This sensation was one Lin Tao had never experienced before. Why did it feel like this? With a sudden realization, Lin Tao turned to look at Lin Tian! Could it be Lin Tian? Noticing Lin Tao''s puzzled gaze, Lin Tian smiled slightly and gave another ok gesture! "Are you ready yet?" Seeing Lin Tao lost in thought, the young man asked impatiently. "Ah? Yes, ready!" Coming back to his senses, Lin Tao nodded. Once Lin Tao put on his mask and was prepared, the young man''s sword vibrated with a sudden flick! Whoosh! The strike was swift and ruthless! Seeing this, a fresh wave of discussion erupted from the spectators. "Brother Bao is serious!" "That guy is done for!" Seeing Brother Bao''s thrust, a wave of discussion erupted from below, all of which were sure of one thing: Lin Tao was in trouble. As Brother Bao made his move, Lin Tao''s eyes narrowed... He felt that Brother Bao''s thrust was very slow, very slow... At the same time, he also felt that Brother Bao''s thrust was full of openings, his whole body riddled with vulnerabilities! This scene left Lin Tao stunned. Whiz! While Lin Tao was lost in shock, suddenly Brother Bao''s sword stabbed directly towards Lin Tao''s chest. Seeing this, before Lin Tao could even react, his body had already moved on its own. Whiz! Swoosh! Snap! Lin Tao thrust his sword! As fast as lightning! As if he had practiced it thousands and thousands of times! Clang! With a clanging sound, a sword fell to the ground. Clang clang! Looking at the sword that had fallen to the ground, everyone was stunned. Staring dumbfounded... On the competition platform, Lin Tao still held the posture he had a moment ago, his sword aimed at Brother Bao''s hand... While Brother Bao''s sword had already dropped to the ground, his face frozen in bewilderment. Nobody expected this scene! Fast! Lin Tao''s thrust was too fast! After being dumbfounded for quite a while, the scene immediately became noisy, as a wave of discussion broke out. "Did you see what just happened?" "No, it was too fast!" "You didn''t see it either?" "No, his speed was too fast, I didn''t even know when he made his move." "How is that possible? It''s unbelievable!" A myriad of discussions filled the area. Brother Bao looked somewhat dumbly at the sword in his right hand, his face full of astonishment. He hadn''t seen it coming at all! He never expected Lin Tao to have such a fast thrust. It was simply as fast as lightning! He hadn''t had time to react before he was hit. Holding the sword in his hand, Lin Tao was also somewhat shocked, his expression a little bewildered. Others might not understand, but he was also at a loss. He had absolutely no idea what had happened. When Brother Bao''s sword was about to stab him in the chest, for some reason, his body had an automatic reflex. And his movements were very skilled, the thrust was as if he had practiced it thousands and thousands of times. It felt so familiar. What was going on? Lin Tao thought to himself, bewildered. Thinking of something, Lin Tao turned his head to look at Lin Tian in the audience. Noticing Lin Tao''s glance, Lin Tian cracked a grin, displaying a brilliant smile. Seeing the smile on Lin Tian''s face, Lin Tao felt uncertain. He was now almost completely certain that the changes he was experiencing were brought about by Lin Tian! The commotion also drew Su Momo''s attention. At the beginning, she hadn''t paid any mind to their match. Thus, she didn''t know what had happened! She had assumed the outcome of their match was predetermined from the start. But now, the surrounding comments made Su Momo startle! Su Momo furrowed her brows, turned her body, and flipped her long hair back, looking at the stage with confusion. As soon as she turned around, she saw Wang Bao''s sword on the ground. She thought, "Did Wang Bao lose?" He actually defeated Wang Bao? How was that possible? Su Momo focused intently on Lin Tao, her expression filled with confusion! Chapter 178 Brother Hasnt Played Basketball for Many Years "Again!" shouted Wang Bao, confused, during Su Momo''s moment of doubt.He couldn''t accept defeat! He couldn''t accept that he had failed like this! He thought it was just his own carelessness! He simply couldn''t believe that Lin Tao¡ªwho was still useless yesterday¡ªcould beat him today without the slightest chance to fight back. With a roar, Wang Bao bent down to pick up the sword from the ground and pointed it at Lin Tao once again. Lin Tao glanced over and didn''t seem to mind. Actually, he was also confused, although he guessed it had something to do with Lin Tian, he still wanted to try, so he didn''t refuse Wang Bao''s challenge. Taking a deep breath, Wang Bao narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Lin Tao, beginning to adjust his state. Seeing this scene, the audience widened their eyes and held their breath. They all wanted to know what had just happened and whether Lin Tao''s recent strike had been a fluke. Staring intently at Lin Tao, Wang Bao exhaled slowly and suddenly burst out, thrusting his sword towards Lin Tao! Whoosh! Uh... Wang Bao stared dumbfounded at the sword pressing against his throat, not moving a muscle. And at that time, the sword in his hand hadn''t even been thrust forward. Just as Wang Bao was about to swing his sword, suddenly Lin Tao whooshed his own sword. A flash of white light passed, and by the time Wang Bao realized it, Lin Tao''s sword was already at his throat! Fast! Incredibly fast! So fast it was unthinkable! After a moment of stunned silence, a buzz of discussion rose from the crowd. "Hey, did you see that?" "No, I only saw a flash of white light! It was too fast!" "Incredible!" ... A buzz of discussion rose from below. Seeing Lin Tao''s sword strike as swift as lightning, Su Momo''s beautiful eyes shimmered with light, and at the same time, she felt puzzled. That move shouldn''t be within Lin Tao''s abilities, could he have improved so much in one day? Gazing at the sword at his throat, Wang Bao felt indignant. After a moment, he shouted, "Again!" "Alright!" At this moment, Su Momo stepped forward. Walking up to the stage, Su Momo stood in front of Lin Tao and calmly looked at him, saying softly, "I accept your challenge!" An accident might happen once, but twice would not be accidental! She was very curious about what was going on with Lin Tao! "Momo!" Wang Bao felt reluctant. Waving her hand, Su Momo didn''t let Wang Bao continue speaking, took up the sword, bowed to Lin Tao with a serious face, and said, "Su Momo seeks your guidance." "Uh..." After a moment, Lin Tao mimicked Su Momo and bowed as well. After bowing, the two looked at each other. After a silent exchange of looks, suddenly, Su Momo made her move. Whoosh! A flash of white light! Stunned, Su Momo looked down somewhat blankly at the sword pressing against her right wrist, lost in thought. Just as Su Momo was about to draw her sword, she felt a flash of white light and then, Lin Tao''s sword was already pressing against her wrist. Fast! Unbelievably fast! And such a strong sense of prediction! Looking up slowly, Su Momo stared at Lin Tao with a stunned expression. At that time, Lin Tao still looked somewhat bewildered. He had no idea what was happening. As Su Momo was about to unsheathe her sword, Lin Tao''s mind instantly perceived her intention, and he wanted to stop Su Momo from drawing her sword. And as he had that thought, his body moved on its own. To Lin Tao, it felt instinctive, as if his body reacted faster than his mind. Still stunned, Su Momo looked at the sword at her wrist. Taking a deep breath, she looked at Lin Tao earnestly and asked, "May we try again?" Lin Tao hesitated, then nodded. But the second time was the same. As soon as Su Momo had the desire to make a move, Lin Tao''s sword immediately ended it. Seeing this, Su Momo had to admit that she indeed couldn''t resist Lin Tao''s sword strike! It was too powerful! Unbelievably powerful! How did he become so strong within a single day? S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As a Sword Maniac, Su Momo began to ponder this question in her mind! After a moment of silence, as if realizing something, Su Momo looked up at Lin Tao: "I''ll accept your pursuit, but whether we get together or not, we still need to get to know each other." Su Momo planned to get to know Lin Tao personally to see what was really happening with him! Hearing her words, the crowd went quiet once again. All eyes on Lin Tao were filled with envy. Most of the members of the swordsmanship society were male, and most had come for Su Momo. And now, Su Momo had agreed to give this short guy a chance? Not cool! They were not cool with it! "Momo!" Hearing Su Momo''s words, Wang Bao by her side was shocked and spoke anxiously, but Su Momo did not turn to look at him. Hearing Su Momo''s words, Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, then a hint of ecstasy flashed across his eyes. After savoring the joy, he suddenly turned and ran to Lin Tian. Upon reaching Lin Tian, Lin Tao quickly pulled him aside and asked in a whisper, "What''s going on?" "What''s going on?" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. "I, I feel different, I was never this powerful before," Lin Tao said doubtfully, suspecting that all this was Lin Tian''s doing. Lin Tian patted Lin Tao on the shoulder, grinning, "Brother, I can only help you this far, remember, your technique is only good for one month. You need to make good use of that time, try to win Su Momo over, and take this opportunity to study and understand the feeling. Otherwise, it won''t be good if you''re exposed after a month." Chapter 178 Brother Hasnt Played Basketball for Many Years_2 "A month, huh? Uh..." Lin Tao looked at Lin Tian with a somewhat dazed expression.Patting Lin Tao on the shoulder, Lin Tian glanced at Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao, who had just walked out, and waved to call them over, "Let''s go." With that, Lin Tian led the way outside. After a moment of being stunned, Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao quickly caught up with Lin Tian. As soon as they did, Guo Rong turned back and looked at Lin Tao, who was still standing there in a daze, and asked, "What about him?" "What about him? Are you going to interfere with his girl-chasing or something?" Lin Tian rolled his eyes. "Right, Lin Tian, did you really do this?" "Do what?" "Making Lin Tao so awesome?" "Buddha says, not to be said!" Lin Tian chuckled mischievously. "Then... Can you also make me a Martial World master? I don''t ask for much, just wall-walking will do!" Guo Rong giggled, moving closer. Glancing at Guo Rong''s figure covered in fat, Lin Tian sneered, "When you lose all that fat, we''ll talk. Wall-walking, huh! Pssh!" "Hey, don''t be so discouraging, okay!" Guo Rong protested with an unsatisfied face. Lin Tian didn''t respond and continued walking briskly ahead. ... The next three days passed relatively peacefully. During these days, Lin Tian didn''t receive any missions, spending his time either in class or occasionally hanging out with Bu Mengting. However, Lin Tao was rarely seen, as he often left early and returned late. Seeing the sweet smile on his face, Lin Tian guessed that things must be going well for him. But whenever Lin Tian asked him about his progress, Lin Tao stubbornly refused to reveal anything. After asking a few times and growing tired of it, Lin Tian also stopped asking. That afternoon, after class, Lin Tian took out his cell phone with a copy of "Basics of Chinese Medicine" in hand. Flipping through the phone book, Lin Tian dialed Bu Mengting''s number. "Hey, Mengting? What are you up to? I just got out of class!" Already? That was fast," came Bu Mengting''s somewhat surprised voice over the phone, along with some noisy background noise. "Only had two classes today." Hearing the noisy background in the call, Lin Tian asked, "Where are you? It''s so loud?" "Oh, I''m watching a basketball game. It''s between our department and the computer science department." "A basketball game? What''s so interesting about that." Lin Tian rolled his eyes. Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s not bad, you know. It would be even better if you came," Bu Mengting''s sweet laughter came from the phone. "Forget it, it''s boring. I haven''t played basketball for a long time, there''s no challenge in it. Anyway, which court are you at? I''ll come find you." "Let me check, oh, court number twenty." "Okay, I''ll head over now." Holding the Chinese Medicine book, Lin Tian shook his head and walked towards the basketball courts. With only Lin Tian by himself now, Lin Tao had gone off to pursue a girl, while Guo Rong and the others were still in the classroom, reading. Arriving at court number twenty after about fifteen minutes, Lin Tian. Scanning the inside of the court, Lin Tian saw that a game was in progress, though it seemed to be almost over. Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered around the court, and cheering could be heard now and then. Lin Tian''s gaze swept through the onlookers, and before long, he spotted Bu Mengting not too far away. At that moment, Bu Mengting was intently watching the game, looking very absorbed, her face occasionally showing signs of tension. After glancing at her, Lin Tian didn''t rush over but stood by and watched the game for a while. Lin Tian noticed that there was one player on each team whose skills weren''t bad. Whether it was jumping, shooting, or dribbling, everything was impressive. What also caught Lin Tian''s attention was that this guy was quite handsome. Every time this guy got the ball, the surrounding girls would let out exited screams. "Wang Bin! Oh!" "I love you!" In the crowd, even some bold girls started shouting towards Wang Bin. In his hands, Wang Bin held the basketball, and whenever he heard the calls from the girls around him, a charming smile appeared on his face; yet he kept glancing over at Bu Mengting. Bu Mengting was nervously watching the game inside, clearly enjoying the basketball match! Seeing this, Wang Bin smiled slightly, knowing his chance to shine had come! Wang Bin quickly dribbled the ball, swayed left and right, and made a lightning-fast breakthrough, charging past the last defender. Wang Bin suddenly leapt into the air! With one hand gripping the basketball, he fiercely slammed it down! Bang! A violent dunk! "Oh! So cool!" The air filled with the screams of girls nearby. "Ah!" Bu Mengting let out a disappointed sigh upon witnessing this scene. Because Wang Bin was a player from the opposing team. Glancing up at Wang Bin, Bu Mengting thought to herself, this guy is really impressive. After the dunk, Wang Bin kept his gaze fixed on Bu Mengting, watching her expression. At this moment, Bu Mengting looked up and their eyes met instantly. Wang Bin flashed Bu Mengting a charming smile. Then he turned and walked away. Seeing this, a female classmate beside Bu Mengting patted her arm and laughed, "The basketball prince seems to be into you!" "No way!" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes at her. "Definitely, didn''t you see he doesn''t even care about the others? I''ve been watching; he''s already stolen glances at you plenty of times!" the girl giggled. "You must be mistaken!" Bu Mengting was somewhat speechless. She didn''t take the words to heart. On the other side, Lin Tian frowned slightly. He had also noticed that Wang Bin seemed to be interested in Bu Mengting. After casting a glance at Wang Bin, Lin Tian felt a bit annoyed. Damn it! Daring to fancy my woman, as if he didn''t know his own worth. After watching for a few more minutes, Lin Tian realized that this kid really had his sights set on Bu Mengting. Just within thirty minutes, his gaze had wandered towards Bu Mengting no less than seven or eight times. And every time, it was in front of Bu Mengting that he intentionally showed off his ball skills. What made Lin Tian even more speechless was that the opposing players were too unskilled, allowing every one of his flashy moves to succeed. A minute later, the referee blew the whistle indicating the end of the game. Casting a glance at Wang Bin, Lin Tian walked towards Bu Mengting. Just as Lin Tian was walking towards Bu Mengting, Wang Bin also, holding a basketball, made his way towards her. Arriving in front of Bu Mengting, Wang Bin gave her a slight smile, "Beauty, do you like basketball?" "It''s okay, I guess!" Bu Mengting looked up at Wang Bin, somewhat taken aback, not expecting him to come talk to her. "Want me to teach you?" Wang Bin spun the red basketball in his hands with a sunny smile. "No, thank you!" Despite wondering why he approached her, Bu Mengting still politely shook her head. "No problem, I am really good, and you can even watch me dunk!" Wang Bin said with a confident smile. "Dunk..." Bu Mengting was somewhat speechless. After giving him a look, Bu Mengting shook her head wordlessly, "In terms of dunking, my boyfriend is much better than you, and way more handsome." "Impossible! I haven''t heard of anyone at Martial University who can dunk better than me. Besides, you must be a freshman, where could you have a boyfriend!" Wang Bin looked incredulous. "Believe it or not, you''ll see when he comes!" Bu Mengting wasn''t pleased with his unexplained arrogance. "Alright, when he comes, I really want to see for myself. But if he doesn''t show up, can I take the beauty out for a meal?" Wang Bin smiled slightly. From his confident smile, he clearly didn''t believe that anyone at Martial University could dunk better than him, nor did he believe that Bu Mengting had a boyfriend. He thought Bu Mengting was just bluffing him! "..." Bu Mengting was at a loss for words. At that moment, she finally realized, it turns out this guy wanted to pursue her. Thinking this, Bu Mengting became even more speechless and at the same time, she couldn''t help wishing for Lin Tian to come over and give him a harsh lesson. That would put an end to his arrogance! And just as Bu Mengting had this thought, Lin Tian, who had been standing behind her for a while, was taken aback. A synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Mission: Fulfill Bu Mengting''s wish by showing off cool basketball moves to teach Wang Bin a lesson. Reward upon mission completion, one Supernatural Point." While Lin Tian was stunned, Wang Bin''s voice reached his ears again, "How tall is your boyfriend?" "Him? Around 1.75 meters, I guess." "1.75 meters and he wants to dunk? Don''t joke around, you''re definitely fooling me!" Hearing Bu Mengting''s answer, Wang Bin was even more convinced that she was lying. 1.75 meters and able to dunk? It''s a question whether he could even reach the basket at that height. Having heard enough, Lin Tian stepped forward quickly, gave Wang Bin a look, and said expressionlessly, "I am her boyfriend." Chapter 179 The Collapsed Basketball Hoop! "Lin Tian?" Hearing Lin Tian''s voice behind her, Bu Mengting was startled for a moment and then revealed a hint of surprise on her face.Wang Bin looked at Lin Tian with a bit of astonishment; he hadn''t expected someone to actually step forward. And this person was indeed Bu Mengting''s boyfriend. Staring somewhat blankly at Lin Tian, Wang Bin turned to Bu Mengting in amazement and asked, "Is this really your boyfriend?" "What''s wrong?" Hearing the skepticism in Wang Bin''s tone, Bu Mengting became unhappy, held Lin Tian''s hand tighter and looked at him with displeasure. "Uh, nothing. I just didn''t expect it," Wang Bin said somewhat awkwardly. He had not thought Bu Mengting had a boyfriend, because his inquiries had suggested she didn''t have one. However, thinking of something, Wang Bin looked Lin Tian up and down with a hint of suspicion: "Do you play basketball?" "Not bad, I guess!" Lin Tian said indifferently. "Mengting says you''re really good at basketball, and that you can even dunk?" Wang Bin looked at Lin Tian with a face full of doubt. Upon hearing Wang Bin''s words, Lin Tian''s face immediately darkened as he frowned at him, saying somewhat rudely, "Don''t call her that, alright? Is Mengting somebody you can just call by name? Besides, what does it matter to you whether I dunk or not?" After hearing Lin Tian''s blunt words, Wang Bin couldn''t bother to play the gentleman anymore and sneered, "She isn''t your wife, why can''t I call her? I''m interested in pursuing her!" "Who likes you? Wishful thinking!" Bu Mengting huffed angrily upon hearing Wang Bin''s words, and gave him a fierce glare. "Whether you like me or not is your business, but pursuing you is my business," Wang Bin said earnestly as he looked at Bu Mengting. "You..." Bu Mengting looked at him, fuming with anger; she had never encountered someone so shameless. "Heh..." Lin Tian chuckled, at a loss for words. He wondered if he should just beat the guy up, to put him in his place and teach him a lesson about overstepping. Hearing Lin Tian''s chuckle, Wang Bin turned his head, looked Lin Tian up and down, and laughed, "I heard you''re great at dunking? How about you show off a little bit and open my eyes?" Despite saying this, the sarcasm in Wang Bin''s tone was clear to everyone. Glancing at him, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Brother hasn''t played basketball in many years, but since you are so eager to see, I might as well satisfy your curiosity." With that, Lin Tian hooked his foot around a red basketball that wasn''t far away and flicked it up. With the basketball in hand, Lin Tian headed towards the court. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Bin''s eyes flickered, and he quickly walked over to the basketball court. Clapping his hands to get everyone''s attention, he shouted to the surrounding students, "Quiet down, everyone! A dunking master is about to show us a dunk. He''s a genuine dunking expert, and he said himself, his dunking will utterly defeat mine!" "What?" "A dunk? Who is it?" "Him?" Soon, many people turned their gaze towards Lin Tian. "He''s going to dunk? No way, how tall is he? Not even 1.8 meters, right?" "Definitely under 1.8 meters. Can he even dunk at that height?" Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire "And he can outdo the dunking Divine King Wang Bin? Really?" A chorus of speculative murmurs rose from the crowd. Hearing the murmurs around him, Wang Bin smiled subtly; this was the effect he desired. He didn''t believe Lin Tian could dunk at all; even if he could, it would likely be a struggle. Wang Bin wanted to stir up the hype so that if Lin Tian couldn''t even manage a dunk, it would leave him embarrassed. Then, when he performed an explosive dunk himself, he would surely impress Bu Mengting and show his affection! Lin Tian, of course, was aware of Wang Bin''s intentions. After giving him a glance, Lin Tian let out a cold laugh, "Humph, you''re probably going to be disappointed this time." With the basketball in hand, Lin Tian stopped five meters outside the three-point line. Lin Tian looked up at the basket. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Noticing Lin Tian''s actions, everyone around went silent, all eyes on Lin Tian. They knew he was about to begin. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian broke into a quick run-up. His foot kicked off the ground and Lin Tian''s body soared into the air! Seeing where Lin Tian had jumped from, everyone was stunned, their eyes wide open. The three-point line! Lin Tian had actually taken off from the three-point line! This... All watchers were astounded by the sight! Who else dunks starting from beyond the three-point line? Could he actually fly? Everyone wore a look of complete astonishment. Wang Bin was also taken aback, and then a hint of mockery flashed across his face. Jumped from the three-point line? Are they crazy? Even in the NBA, I''ve never heard of anyone jumping from the three-point line! Jumping from the two-point line is already pretty awesome! This **** actually jumped from the three-point line! Wang Bin waited to see Lin Tian make a fool of himself! But then, Wang Bin was stunned. Wang Bin looked up blankly at Lin Tian with his head tilted back. Fly! Fly! Lin Tian''s body soared higher and higher! After jumping from beyond the three-point line, Lin Tian''s body took off, gliding a distance, and instead of falling to the ground, he flew even higher, zooming straight for the basket. "So high..." Someone muttered while looking up. High! Lin Tian jumped so high, it was like he had springs under his feet. Whoosh! Accompanied by a fierce whooshing sound, Lin Tian''s body spun around 360 degrees, then grabbed the basketball and slammed it violently into the hoop! Roar! Bang! With a loud noise, the hoop shook violently. Creak~! Suddenly, the entire basketball stand began to wobble. Creak~! Slowly, the whole basketball stand started to topple over. "Ah, it''s falling down!" A shocked cry came from the crowd. Holding onto the hoop and seeing the basketball stand slowly begin to fall, Lin Tian let go and quickly dodged. Bang! The moment Lin Tian moved aside, the entire basketball stand fell to the ground. After glancing at the basketball crushed under the stand, Lin Tian clapped his hands and walked up to Wang Bin with a smile, saying cheerfully, "How about that..." "..." Wang Bin couldn''t say anything, staring at Lin Tian as if he had seen a monster. Freak! Such a freak! It wasn''t just Wang Bin, the other onlooking students also stared at Lin Tian with a shocked expression, their looks akin to seeing some rare animal. He actually brought down the basketball stand, that''s too exaggerated! At the same time, an electronic synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Task, fulfilling Bu Mengting''s wish to dunk in a cool way and teach Wang Bin a lesson is completed. Reward: one Supernatural Point." Hearing this electronic synthesized voice, Lin Tian''s eyes lit up and swept towards Bu Mengting. She too was visibly shocked, clearly stunned by Lin Tian''s dunk. With a slight smile, Lin Tian walked over, patted her little head, and said, "Let''s go!" "Ah? Oh!" Startled, Bu Mengting then nodded and followed with a sound. "Let''s go!" Immediately after, Lin Tian took Bu Mengting''s hand and left. After Lin Tian left, a wave of admiration spread through the venue. "Damn! That''s so badass! He brought down the basketball hoop!" "The hoop must not have been very sturdy," someone argued. "Not being sturdy but still being able to bring it down is impressive, why don''t you give it a try?" another person retorted sarcastically. "Badass..." In any case, all kinds of flattering voices were the main chorus. And looking at the fallen basketball stand, Wang Bin was speechless. He was truly stunned by Lin Tian''s dunk. Chapter 180 A Slap Sends a Person Flying! The next day was Saturday!After getting up and washing up in the morning, Lin Tian took out his phone and browsed through the contacts list. His hand paused slightly over Bu Mengting''s name, then continued moving down, eventually stopping on He Qianqian''s name. It had been a long time since he had last seen He Qianqian. The last time he said he would go see her, who knew an accident would occur. This time, Lin Tian planned to go find her. His finger rested on He Qianqian''s phone number, he thought for a moment, but Lin Tian still didn''t make the call; he wanted to give He Qianqian a surprise. With that thought, Lin Tian immediately opened an app on his phone. He remembered that he had previously installed a tracking app on He Qianqian''s phone to see her location. After launching the app and opening the map, a red dot started flashing onscreen. After glancing at the red dot, Lin Tian quickly shifted his gaze and strode towards the airport''s exit. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "If only my divination skills were adequate, I wouldn''t have to do this. Really..." Muttering to himself, he arrived outside the school and promptly hailed a taxi. On the other hand, He Qianqian was just walking out of the school gate arm in arm with a female teacher. With Lin Dan''s arm linked in hers, He Qianqian turned her head and curiously asked, "I heard that a few days ago a really arrogant student joined your class?" "Yeah, he''s as pretentious as they come, acts like he''s someone special," Lin Dan said with disdain. "You kicked him out on his first day of class, and I heard he wants to get back at you! Are you okay?" He Qianqian asked with concern. "I''m fine; I''m not afraid of him. What, does he think he can turn the sky upside down!" Lin Dan scoffed nonchalantly. "Still, it''s better to be cautious; some people are really twisted!" He Qianqian cautioned. "Don''t worry about it, let''s go!" Lin Dan said indifferently. He Qianqian and Lin Dan were headed to a small supermarket outside the school to buy something. The two walked arm in arm for a while until they passed an alley entrance, when suddenly a white van sped up from behind and came to a sharp halt! "Screech!" The sudden braking left two black tire marks on the white cement ground. The sudden sound of brakes caused both He Qianqian and her companion to startle and turn around with shock on their faces. As they turned, they saw six teenagers, around seventeen or eighteen years old, hurry out of the van. The teens got out of the van and started shoving He Qianqian and Lin Dan towards the side alley. "What''s going on? What''s going on?" Lin Dan shouted, trying to resist, but she was unable to fight back! She was forcefully dragged into the alley, and He Qianqian was also swept along. Once inside the alley, a young man with a ruffian look grabbed Lin Dan by the hair and slapped her across the face, "Slap!" Following a loud smack, Lin Dan''s left cheek immediately swelled up and reddened. "You bitch, you dare to kick me out? Are you tired of living!" Zhong Chengcheng glared at Lin Dan with a cold look. This student was the very one Lin Dan had kicked out of the classroom before! "You little bastard, dare to hit me?" Lin Dan was stunned for a moment, then furiously lunged at Zhong Chengcheng. Whoosh! Because Lin Dan moved so swiftly, Zhong Chengcheng''s face was scratched by her, and soon he had five bloody marks on his face. The searing pain on his face infuriated Zhong Chengcheng, who angrily kicked toward Lin Dan''s stomach and bellowed, "Beat her up!" Suddenly, four or five young men started kicking the fallen Lin Dan. Punches and kicks! "Bang! Bang!" The kicks were filled with hate! Seeing this scene, He Qianqian panicked, hastily crying out, "Stop hitting her, stop!" As she spoke, He Qianqian stepped forward to block the young men, but she was immediately pushed aside, and the beating continued. Seeing no other way, He Qianqian grew as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, took a few hurried breaths, her mind racing before she quickly said, "Stop hitting her, I''ll call the police if you don''t stop!" "Call the police? Go ahead! The police station is practically owned by my family!" Hearing He Qianqian''s shout, Zhong Chengcheng turned his head and sneered. He glanced at He Qianqian, his eyes twinkling with a strange glint. Until now, he had only paid attention to Lin Dan and not to He Qianqian! Only at this moment did he realize how beautiful He Qianqian actually was! Seeing Zhong Chengcheng staring at her with a somewhat strange gaze, He Qianqian''s heart jolted, and she quickly turned around to run. "Where do you think you''re going? Come here!" But as soon as He Qianqian turned around, Zhong Chengcheng caught her wrist. "What are you doing? Let go!" He Qianqian struggled desperately, flinging her hand fiercely! But she couldn''t break free at all. Meanwhile, outside the alley, Lin Tian looked down at his phone for a while, then lifted his head to scan the vicinity, murmuring to himself, "This should be the place, it''s just in here." "Ah! Let go!" Suddenly, Lin Tian heard He Qianqian''s familiar scream faintly in his ear. Hearing this sound, Lin Tian was startled. Lin Tian''s expression changed, and he rushed into the alley with quick steps. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Drag her in! This chick is pretty good-looking, I didn''t know the school had such beauties!" Zhong Chengcheng eyed He Qianqian with some excitement. As he spoke, his hand reached toward He Qianqian''s chest. Seeing the hand stretching toward her chest, He Qianqian slapped it away furiously and with annoyance. Slap! A loud slap left Zhong Chengcheng stunned. He touched his swollen cheek in disbelief, seemingly unable to accept that He Qianqian dared to hit him! After being stunned for a while, Zhong Chengcheng bellowed furiously, and slapped fiercely toward He Qianqian: "You bitch!" "Ah!" He Qianqian screamed. "Hey!" Suddenly, a fierce shout erupted right beside Zhong Chengcheng''s ear! The sound was so loud, it made Zhong Chengcheng''s ears ring, almost as if it were the roar of a lion. The sudden loud noise made Zhong Chengcheng pause, his hand instinctively stopping in midair! Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire Whoosh! In the moment of Zhong Chengcheng''s hesitation, a gust of wind rushed at him! Swish! Lin Tian dashed over swiftly! "Hey!" Lin Tian glared, shouted angrily, and launched a kick! Bang! A solid kick sent Zhong Chengcheng flying two meters away, and he fell hard on the ground. "Are you okay!" After kicking Zhong Chengcheng away, Lin Tian turned, his face fraught with concern as he looked at He Qianqian. "No, I''m fine!" Seeing Lin Tian suddenly appear, He Qianqian was extremely surprised! At the same time, because she had been frightened just a moment ago, her face was still somewhat pale, and her hair was slightly disheveled. Seeing that He Qianqian was alright, Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief, then turned his face coldly and swept his gaze over the youths. Seeing Lin Tian suddenly appear and send Zhong Chengcheng flying out, those youths were stunned, and turned their heads, looking at Lin Tian somewhat incredulously. This guy seems to be quite the fighter? While these people were in a daze, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes and with an icy expression quickly stepped forward, entered the crowd and slapped someone directly! Slap! A slap sent one person flying! Slap! Another backhanded slap! Another person flew out! Slap! Slap! Lin Tian was quick, one slap after another, swiftly knocking all four people to the ground. Chapter 181 Dont! "Motherfucker!" After several consecutive slaps, everyone was stunned! It took a while for them to come to their senses, clutching their swollen cheeks as they struggled to get up and rushed towards Lin Tian.Their faces were filled with malice! Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. They didn''t believe that so many of them couldn''t beat just Lin Tian! With a snort of contempt, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, and as one of them was about to get up, he kicked out in an instant! And once again, he knocked the person to the ground! Lin Tian''s control of force was very precise, not causing serious injury, but it was enough to make their abdomens feel like a raging sea, definitely causing them discomfort! Bang bang! Anyone who dared to get up, dared to resist, Lin Tian showed no mercy. After several failed attempts at resistance, these people learned their lesson and knew it was futile; they all obediently lay on the ground. Seeing that these people were subdued, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and looked towards Zhong Chengcheng. Lin Tian''s kick had been fierce, and Zhong Chengcheng still hadn''t recovered, unable to even speak. With a cold glance, Lin Tian slowly walked over, came beside him, squatted down, and grabbed Zhong Chengcheng by the collar. Being held up by Lin Tian, Zhong Chengcheng still had a face full of malice, glaring ferociously at Lin Tian. "Hmph!" With a sneer, Lin Tian slapped him directly across the face. Smack! A loud slap resounded! Smack! Lin Tian backhandedly gave him another slap! Smack! A straight slap followed! Lin Tian struck forcefully several times in succession, and in an instant, both of Zhong Chengcheng''s cheeks were swollen, his entire face puffed up like a pig''s head. "Alright, alright, stop hitting him!" Seeing this scene, He Qianqian hurriedly pulled at Lin Tian and called out! "Smack!" Lin Tian gave one more fierce slap, then let go of his hand. Smack! Zhong Chengcheng limply collapsed to the ground; although he was not unconscious, his vacant eyes showed that he had clearly been dazed by Lin Tian. "Cocky fool!" Lin Tian stood up, kicked him, his face filled with disdain. "Okay, stop it." The ferocity of Lin Tian really frightened He Qianqian somewhat. "Motherfucker, daring to hit me!" By now, Lin Dan had also struggled to stand up, and seeing these young men on the ground, she walked over in anger and kicked them a few times. "That''s enough, Dan Dan, stop it. Let''s go to the hospital to get you checked out," He Qianqian hurriedly pulled Lin Dan. "Ptooey!" Spitting out a mouthful of saliva fiercely, Lin Dan reluctantly allowed He Qianqian to pull her away, still fuming. Afterwards, Lin Tian and He Qianqian accompanied Lin Dan to the hospital for a checkup. Later, when Lin Dan wanted to go to the police station to report the incident, Lin Tian, not wanting any trouble, just pulled He Qianqian and left. After parting ways with Lin Dan, and as it was nearly noon, Lin Tian and He Qianqian went to a restaurant to have lunch together. After lunch and a brief rest, it had been half a month since they had last seen each other and both were starting to crave "that." Lin Tian took He Qianqian straight to a hotel to get a room. One and a half hours later, after the passion had subsided, Lin Tian held He Qianqian quietly as they lay on the bed. Gently stroking He Qianqian''s smooth back, Lin Tian thought of the person from earlier and asked curiously, "Who was that person causing you trouble?" Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire Resting her head gently on Lin Tian''s shoulder, He Qianqian spoke softly, "I don''t know, it seems to be someone who transferred to our school a few days ago. He''s got quite an attitude, got into a fight with classmates as soon as school started. Then he was driven out by Lin Dan." "He went for revenge just because of that?" Lin Tian looked astonished. "Yeah!" He Qianqian nodded. "Pretty arrogant!" Lin Tian was shocked. Anyone bold enough to openly fight a teacher must be arrogant. If not for having some power at home, if not spoiled and arrogant from a young age, otherwise, they wouldn''t dare to act like this. "Yeah, his family must have some power, I''m really worried for Lin Dan," He Qianqian said, her tone revealing a hint of concern. As he gently touched He Qianqian''s hair, Lin Tian laughed, "Don''t worry, if that kid really dares to do anything, call me and I''ll help you take care of it!" "You?" Upon hearing this, He Qianqian looked up at Lin Tian, pouted, and said, "Forget it, what else can you do besides fight and kill? Don''t mess around." "You underestimate me!" Lin Tian confidently raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Let me tell you, I''m someone with connections now. Taking care of that kind of person wouldn''t require me to lift a finger¡ªit would be done in minutes." "Yeah right! Keep boasting!" He Qianqian looked at him with disdain. ... Three hours later, the two finally came out of the hotel. "Who wanted it rough just now!" Lin Tian chuckled with some pride. "Ah! Ouch, spare me, your Majesty!" Lin Tian played along, pretending to cry out in pain. "You''re so fake, I''m ignoring you!" He Qianqian turned her head away, pouting and refusing to engage with Lin Tian. Seeing He Qianqian''s slightly pursed lips, Lin Tian chuckled and moved closer for a kiss. "Oh!" He Qianqian''s eyes widened. After a quick kiss, Lin Tian let go, grinning, "You deliberately pout your lips in that tempting pose because you wanted me to kiss you, didn''t you?" "..." He Qianqian was at a loss for words. Afterward, the two had dinner at a nearby restaurant. After dinner, they walked slowly under the shade of the trees along the sidewalk, holding hands. The air in Wu''an City was great, completely devoid of the suffocating smog of Beijing. At night, the day''s heat was gone, and a gentle breeze blew from time to time. The light wind lifted He Qianqian''s long hair, giving a sense of fluttering elegance that suddenly made Lin Tian feel very good. A sense of contentment, a feeling of happiness. Gently straightening out her wind-blown hair, she turned to find Lin Tian staring blankly at her. He Qianqian chuckled and lightly tapped his forehead with her finger, "Silly, what are you looking at!" "I am marveling at how there can be such a beautiful girl in the world! And that such a beauty actually ended up with me! It''s unbelievable!" Lin Tian shook his head and sighed. "Stop it! What nonsense are you talking about!" He Qianqian smiled, holding back her lips. Although she said this, her expression was somewhat shy and happy. "It''s true!" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian earnestly, stepped forward, and gently wrapped his arms around her, burying his head in her hair and murmuring softly in her ear, "Really, I''m so lucky to have met you. You are my angel!" Chapter 182 The Expert is Here With He Qianqian''s earlobe in his mouth, it was a while before Lin Tian finally let go.By that time, He Qianqian''s pretty face had already turned a shade of crimson. "Stop it!" He Qianqian, her face flushed, punched Lin Tian''s chest with her small fists. Lin Tian caught He Qianqian''s small hand, looked up with a grin, and teased her, "Do you really find it annoying? It seemed like you were enjoying it a lot just now!" Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire "Go away! I''m not talking to you anymore!" He Qianqian said with a shy face as she quickly walked away, ignoring Lin Tian. Watching He Qianqian leave, Lin Tian let out a chuckle and quickly followed after her. After strolling the streets leisurely for half an hour, Lin Tian suddenly glanced up at an Anime City in front of them and suggested, "How about we go have some fun in Anime City?" "No, that''s for kids." "Come on, let''s just have a look. If you don''t like it, we can leave," Lin Tian cajoled. He hadn''t been to Anime City for several years and suddenly felt interested upon seeing it. "Alright, let''s go take a look!" With that, Lin Tian took He Qianqian''s small hand and headed towards Anime City. Not long after Lin Tian and He Qianqian entered Anime City, a group of a dozen or so young people swaggered in as well. The leader of these people was none other than Zhong Chengcheng, whom Lin Tian had beaten into a pig-faced mess earlier that day. They had come to Anime City to unwind after today''s beating from Lin Tian! As they walked, they chatted about something! "Young Master Zhong, that Lin Dan actually went to the police station to report the incident? That''s just hilarious!" one of them said with a flattering smile as they headed toward Anime City. "Hmph! That dumbass doesn''t know who he''s dealing with, still goes to the police to file a report, what a retard!" Zhong Chengcheng grunted resentfully. He didn''t dare speak up much because of the severe beating he had received from Lin Tian; it hurt even to talk loudly. Feeling the pain at the corner of his mouth, a cold and vicious glint appeared in Zhong Chengcheng''s eyes as he growled ominously, "I''ll kill that bastard! Hey Afei, did you find out anything about his background?" Upon hearing Zhong Chengcheng''s words, a skinny young man by his side quickly nodded, "Almost, we should know by tomorrow." "Good, watch me kill him tomorrow, damn it, I''ve never suffered such a big loss since I was a kid!" Zhong Chengcheng said viciously. "Don''t worry, we guarantee we''ll make that kid kneel down to you!" one person said confidently at his side. sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "The kid can fight, remember to bring weapons when the time comes!" Zhong Chengcheng was still a bit worried. "We always get the job done, no worries, over and out!" the man assured with a confident smile. "That''s good!" With an air of assurance, Zhong Chengcheng nodded and proceeded to lead the way into Anime City. Anime City was two stories high, and as Zhong Chengcheng and his group entered, Lin Tian and He Qianqian happened to be on the second floor of Anime City. On the second floor of Anime City, Lin Tian was holding He Qianqian''s hand in his left and some game tokens in his right, looking around. He Qianqian reluctantly followed Lin Tian, pouting, "What''s so fun about this? It''s all arcade games. And it smells so much like smoke here." She frowned slightly and fanned the air in front of her nose with her small hand. Lin Tian knew He Qianqian hated the smell of smoke. "Ah..." Lin Tian glanced at He Qianqian, appearing a bit embarrassed, then suddenly his eyes lit up as he pointed to a basketball arcade machine in the corner of the room and suggested, "How about we play basketball then? It''s less crowded over there." Saying so, Lin Tian pulled He Qianqian by the hand and ran towards it. A few minutes later, Lin Tian and He Qianqian were playing basketball together. Lin Tian had a very accurate shot; not only here, but even on the basketball court, so as people around them watched Lin Tian play, they were somewhat stunned. Since Lin Tian started, almost none of his shots missed, not even when the hoop was moving¡ªhe was consistently accurate. "Hey!" After shooting the last basketball into the hoop, Lin Tian smugly clapped his hands and looked at He Qianqian with a playful smile, "How was that? Pretty good, right?" "This thing doesn''t seem to be challenging for you at all," He Qianqian retorted with a snort. She was well aware of Lin Tian''s basketball skills. "It''s alright, it''s all about participation, just playing for fun," Lin Tian replied with a smile. Just then, as He Qianqian was about to say something, a sudden bellow came from downstairs, faintly accompanied by a girl''s scream. Hearing this, He Qianqian paused, and Lin Tian also appeared puzzled. There was a moment of silence at the scene, and then many people started running towards the front. Rubbernecking! Everyone was curious about what had happened. After hesitating for a moment and watching the crowd rush forward, Lin Tian, also curious, took He Qianqian by the hand and walked over, saying, "Come on, let''s see what''s going on." When Lin Tian and He Qianqian had walked about a few dozen meters, they found a group of people crowding around the railing on the second floor, all looking downstairs. From this railing, they could clearly see what was happening below. Curious, Lin Tian squeezed through the crowd with He Qianqian by the hand and made their way to the front. At the railing, Lin Tian curiously looked down. He was momentarily taken aback at the sight. Zhong Chengcheng! Seeing the man with his face swollen like a pig''s, Lin Tian was startled. That was the man he had beaten into such a state earlier in the day. "Is it him?" Upon seeing Zhong Chengcheng, He Qianqian was also surprised. After glancing down at Zhong Chengcheng, a sneer slowly formed on Lin Tian''s lips, "He''s really quite bold!" Beating someone up! Zhong Chengcheng was clearly assaulting someone! "You motherfucker! You''re laughing at me, aren''t you? I told you to laugh!" Zhong Chengcheng viciously kicked the young man on the ground. Several times the young man tried to get up to fight back, but was repeatedly kicked down by Zhong Chengcheng''s cronies. They were too many for him. "What''s going on?" "Yeah, what happened?" ¡­ At this time, Lin Tian heard baffled voices coming from around him. Many people hadn''t seen the incident unfold and were curiously asking questions. Hearing those questions, someone who had seen what happened began to explain in a low voice, "That young guy on the ground just glanced at that fatso, then the fatso thought he was being laughed at, so he beat him up." "Really? That''s way too arrogant, isn''t it?" "That''s too much!" Whispers of disapproval started to spread among the crowd. After hearing the explanation, everyone believed Zhong Chengcheng had gone too far and was too arrogant. Before, they had heard about people being beaten up on buses for looking at someone the wrong way, but they hadn''t expected to witness it firsthand. It wasn''t just the people above whispering about Zhong Chengcheng''s actions; spectators on the first floor were gossiping softly as well. They also thought Zhong Chengcheng was too arrogant. "It was just a glance, and he didn''t mean anything by it. These people are too much." "Exactly, I was right there¡ªthe young guy didn''t mean anything by it, but he still got beaten up. These people are disgusting." "Look at them, so sleazy; you can tell they''re not good people!" ¡­ Although the discussions were quiet, some of them reached Zhong Chengcheng''s ears. Hearing these comments, Zhong Chengcheng became enraged, suddenly lifted his head, and scanned the area before his gaze landed on a girl with long hair, her face covered in acne. Seeing the girl, Zhong Chengcheng, with a cold look on his face, quickly walked over. As Zhong Chengcheng approached quickly, the girl''s face turned pale with fear, and she stared at him nervously, "What, what do you want?" Zhong Chengcheng didn''t say a word, and upon reaching her, he violently grabbed her hair and yanked it with a pull! "Ah!" the girl screamed as she stumbled forward a few steps. Watching the girl faltering, Zhong Chengcheng delivered a flying kick. Bang! His foot landed heavily on the girl''s body! The girl was knocked to the ground. Quickly walking over to the fallen girl, Zhong Chengcheng kicked her thigh ferociously and cursed, "You trying to meddle in my business? Looking for death?" As he spoke, he kicked her again with vengeance. "Hey, aren''t you going too far?" Seeing this, a young man in the crowd spoke out with anger. "Motherfucker, you looking for trouble? I''ll beat you to death!" Before Zhong Chengcheng could even respond, his accomplices were infuriated, and instantly, seven or eight of them rushed towards the young man who had spoken up. Watching this unfold, the people around the young man quickly moved aside, afraid of getting dragged into the fray. Although the young man tried to defend himself, he was outnumbered, and within seconds, the group of seven or eight had knocked him to the ground. After kicking the girl a few times, Zhong Chengcheng quickly walked over to the young man, grabbed a chair from nearby, and smashed it down onto the young man''s body. "Bang!" The young man could only curl up and endure the beating. After viciously attacking the young man with a few blows, Zhong Chengcheng threw the chair aside and arrogantly pointed at the surrounding crowd, shouting, "Anyone else who wants to be a busybody will meet the same fate!" Seeing Zhong Chengcheng''s arrogance, the scene went silent. Everyone was intimidated by his demeanor. Upstairs, people were still whispering, though much quieter than before, "Why fear him? There are so many of us, can''t we handle his dozen men?" "Easy for you to say, who''s going to step up first? Besides, what if others don''t back you up? You''d be running to your doom!" his friend retorted softly. "We''ll take the lead, then urge everyone to join in," the first man proposed. "Are you crazy? If you want to go, then go, but don''t drag me into it," his friend replied with a look of disbelief. "He''s too arrogant. If only I were a Martial World expert, I''d definitely take them down in minutes." "A Martial World expert? You''ve been reading too many martial arts novels. Is there anyone in real life who can take down a dozen people by themselves? Even special forces aren''t that skilled, right?" "Who knows, there could be!" the man argued. "Give it a rest!" After glancing over at the two men, Lin Tian smiled slightly and walked over. When he reached them, he patted their shoulders. Feeling a pat on their shoulders, the two men were startled and turned their heads in surprise. After scanning the two men, Lin Tian grinned and pointed at himself, "Looking for a Martial World expert? I am one!" "Huh?" "What?" Both men stared at Lin Tian in astonishment. Then they looked at Lin Tian as if he were crazy! Seeing the shocked expression on their faces, Lin Tian didn''t say much, placed his hand on the railing, and leapt! Whoosh! Lin Tian''s body jumped straight from the second floor to the first floor. PS: Explosion tomorrow, at least twenty chapters! Boom, boom, boom!!! Chapter 183 Beasts! Seeing Lin Tian leap straight down from the building, the two men were dumbfounded.What ... What is happening? Stunned for a moment, the two men quickly stuck their heads out to look down, their faces tense. Even though it was only one story, the floor spacing was quite large, with at least four meters between the first and second floor! A four-meter leap might not pose a great issue for the average person, but suffering fractures from an incautious landing was also perfectly normal. Seeing Lin Tian suddenly make the jump, it wasn''t just those two who were astonished; everyone watching the scene both upstairs and downstairs were startled. "Ah!" Seeing Lin Tian jump down, some girls even screamed reflexively. Seeing everyone looking up, Zhong Chengcheng also turned his head in confusion to look upward. As he turned, he immediately saw someone rapidly descending from above. Bang! Lin Tian''s feet landed solidly on the ground, and he didn''t even need to crouch to absorb the shock; he stood there as straight as an arrow. Witnessing this scene, the two men upstairs were taken aback, glancing at each other with both a hint of surprise. A fall from a four-meter height without the need to break the fall wasn''t something an ordinary person could do. Could he really be ... Exchanging looks, they both felt a twinge of excitement. Unaware of the thoughts of the two men upstairs, Lin Tian brushed off his hands and started walking slowly towards Zhong Chengcheng. Seeing Lin Tian, Zhong Chengcheng''s face was a picture of astonishment. Unexpected! Sheer unexpectedness; he had never imagined he would bump into Lin Tian here, let alone see him appear in such a manner. Moving slowly to Zhong Chengcheng''s side, Lin Tian looked him up and down, his gaze fixing on his swollen face, and said with a grin: "What now? Still acting tough? Wasn''t the slap enough?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zhong Chengcheng immediately remembered the crisp sound of the slaps Lin Tian had previously landed on his face. Just thinking about it, Zhong Chengcheng felt a faint pain on his face. "Huff huff!" Panting heavily, Zhong Chengcheng pointed at Lin Tian and bellowed: "It''s this brat, cripple him for me!" Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Fury! Zhong Chengcheng was extremely angry, and talking loudly made him feel a pain pulling at the muscles in his face. Zhong Chengcheng''s cohorts were initially confused, then they all rushed over, asking, "Young Master Zhong, is it him?" "It''s him, cripple him for me!" Zhong Chengcheng said furiously, pointing at Lin Tian. Last time he had only brought four or five people, but this time he had a dozen¡ªsurely enough to take him down! This time he spoke much quieter, not daring to raise his voice. Afraid to aggravate his wounds by talking too loudly! Hearing Zhong Chengcheng''s affirmative response, one of them sized up Lin Tian and sneered: "Kid, you dare to mess with Young Master Zhong, I ..." "Save the chatter!" Lin Tian cut him off and charged straight at the group. Seeing Lin Tian rush straight towards the group, the two men upstairs widened their eyes. Was he really planning to take on a dozen men by himself? Thud thud! One by one, figures flew through the air! The two upstairs widened their eyes even more, their mouths unconsciously hanging open in dumbfounded silence. It wasn''t just them; other onlookers witnessing the fight were also shocked. How is this possible? A one-on-one fight with a group meant certain defeat! You were sure to be battered to no end! You think you''re some kind of commando? Even commandos would go down bare-handed against so many! But the scene unfolding before their eyes was completely overturning their understanding! Beating down! Beating down! It was not the group beating down Lin Tian, but Lin Tian beating down the group! Lin Tian moved like a graceful dancer, weaving in and out of the crowd. They couldn''t touch him at all. And Lin Tian, his punches and kicks seemingly effortless, sent another person flying with each strike! Dominating! And there was no resistance, just utter domination! Lin Tian alone was thrashing the whole group! Thud thud! After sending the last person flying with another kick, Lin Tian brushed off his hands. He looked completely at ease! Ten seconds; it had taken Lin Tian no more than ten seconds. And all those men were lying on the ground, unable to get up. Stunned! Stunned! sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Zhong Chengcheng was petrified watching this! The script was nothing like what he had imagined! Freak! Lin Tian was even more of a freak than he had imagined! Zhong Chengcheng stood there, dazed. After clapping his hands, Lin Tian, with a smile, slowly walked up to Zhong Chengcheng and looked him over, "How about it?" Zhong Chengcheng''s mouth moved slightly, he opened his mouth wanting to say something, but nothing came out. Seeing Zhong Chengcheng''s stupefied expression. Lin Tian glanced down slightly at the three men Zhong Chengcheng and his cronies had knocked to the ground, then at the girl who still couldn''t get up, and a trace of anger flickered through Lin Tian''s mind. Lin Tian licked his lips and swung his hand fiercely: "You were acting pretty arrogant just now, weren''t you?" "SLAP!" The slap was incredibly loud. Spurt! Following the slap, Zhong Chengcheng''s body was flung away, a spurt of blood spraying out. Accompanying the blood was a tooth tinged with bloody streaks. Smack smack... The blood-stained tooth fell to the ground, bouncing once before finally coming to rest beside Zhong Chengcheng! "Ignorant fool!" Lin Tian strode forward and ruthlessly stomped on Zhong Chengcheng''s left wrist! Crack~! "Ahh~!" Zhong Chengcheng suddenly screamed in agony, his face contorted in pain as he clutched his wrist with his right hand! A fracture! Lin Tian''s foot had actually broken his left wrist! Staring coldly at him, Lin Tian raised his foot again. Lin Tian had no intention of showing mercy to such scum! "Hey, wait a second! Wait a second!" Just then, a middle-aged man in a black suit hurried over. Coming up to Lin Tian, the middle-aged man grabbed Lin Tian''s hand and said hastily, "That''s enough, that''s enough, stop hitting him." Lin Tian gave the man a glance and frowned, "Who are you?" "I''m the owner of Anime City, Zhu Fei," said the middle-aged man in a hurry. "Lin Tian, that''s enough." At that moment, He Qianqian came down, her expression somewhat unsightly. The scene filled with malevolent energy was uncomfortable for her to watch. She didn''t want Lin Tian to always be this violent. "Yes, yes, this young lady is right," Zhu Fei said quickly, nodding in agreement with He Qianqian. He Qianqian had spoken, and Lin Tian did not plan to say anything more, feeling that the lesson he had taught Zhong Chengcheng was sufficient. Seeing that Lin Tian seemed to be relenting, Zhu Fei said urgently: "Come, come, you two, let''s go to my office and rest for a bit. Cool down." Saying this, Zhu Fei began pulling Lin Tian upstairs. Not wanting to go, but finding the man too enthusiastic to refuse, Lin Tian had no choice but to follow. Upon reaching Zhu Fei''s office on the third floor, Zhu Fei personally poured a cup of tea, chatted with Lin Tian for a few moments, said he needed to go handle the situation in the back, and then left. Sitting in Zhu Fei''s office and waiting for a few minutes was somewhat boring. Subsequently, Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian and said, "Let''s go." "Mhm!" He Qianqian also nodded her head. She didn''t want to stay here either. Immediately, Lin Tian stood up, ready to leave. But just as Lin Tian opened the door, suddenly, he paused with a slight startle! Lin Tian had excellent hearing, and at this moment, he heard a very faint voice, belonging to Zhu Fei. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was slightly startled and then focused his attention to listen. As Lin Tian focused, faint voices began to reach his ears. "How''s it going? Did Chief Zhong get the message?" It was Zhu Fei''s voice. "He did. He''s nearby and will be here soon." "Good!" "Dammit, when my dad gets here, I''m going to kill him, fuck!" At that moment, Zhong Chengcheng''s voice, slightly airy due to his injured mouth, rang out. "Calm down, Young Master Zhong, Chief Zhong will be here soon. When he arrives, just lock him up. After all, he can''t outrun a gun," Zhu Fei advised. ... Hearing these voices, a sarcastic smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips. He had intended to leave, but now he suddenly decided not to. Lin Tian finally remembered who Zhong Chengcheng was. When Lin Tian had been detained at the police station, he had done a reading for the Public Security Bureau Chief, Zhong Guo, and at that time, he saw that the man had two sons. The younger son''s name happened to be Zhong Chengcheng. Lin Tian hadn''t recalled it earlier, but now, listening to the conversation of these people, he finally remembered. Lin Tian was almost certain that the Chief Zhong they were referring to was the Public Security Bureau Chief, Zhong Guo. "Zhong Guo, huh? This is going to be fun!" With that thought, a sarcastic smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips. Zhong Guo was a person who was intensely protective of his son, but he was also aware of Lin Tian''s abilities! Lin Tian was curious to see what would happen. Anticipation! Lin Tian was actually quite looking forward to it. With a slight smile on his lips, Lin Tian closed the door and sat down again. "Why aren''t we leaving?" Seeing Lin Tian sit down once more, He Qianqian asked with a puzzled face. "Wait a bit, it won''t be long," Lin Tian said with a slight smile. And at that moment, outside, Zhong Guo was furiously on his way. Parking his car at the entrance, he led four or five uniformed police officers quickly up to the third floor. At that time, the staff of Anime City had all been cleared out by Zhu Fei. Upon reaching the third floor, Zhong Guo immediately spotted Zhong Chengcheng and his unnaturally twisted fingers. With his face turning ashen as he saw his son''s gruesomely bent fingers, Zhong Guo''s expression turned frosty, and after a moment of silence, he burst out furiously: "Where is that man?" "In my office!" Zhu Fei nodded and said. "Motherfucker! I''ll kill him!" Zhong Guo roared and stormed toward Zhu Fei''s office. Zhong Guo was extremely angry! Known for his overprotective nature, no one in Wu''an City had ever dared to treat his son like this, not even the mayor''s son! Zhong Guo marched briskly to Zhu Fei''s office door, and with a fierce kick, he flung it open. Bang! The door was violently kicked open by Zhong Guo! "Damn it, I..." Zhong Guo began to shout angrily, but as his gaze swept over the room, his voice abruptly stopped! Zhong Guo stared dumbfounded at Lin Tian! It was actually Lin Tian! He hadn''t expected this person to be Lin Tian at all! And in that moment, Lin Tian sat there with crossed legs, smiling at the irate Zhong Guo approaching: "Chief Zhong, long time no see!" "Dad, it''s him! Lock him up!" With Zhong Guo there, Zhong Chengcheng regained a lot of confidence and pointed at Lin Tian arrogantly. Zhong Guo stared at Lin Tian, still in shock, and after a moment''s pause, he furiously turned and slapped his son, shouting: "Beast!" "Slap!" Holding his cheek, Zhong Chengcheng looked blankly at Zhong Guo, dumbfounded. Seeing this scene, Zhu Fei was also stunned! What on earth was happening? Chapter 184 Two Women Meet "Snap!" Covering his cheek, Zhong Chengcheng stared blankly at Zhong Guo, dumbfounded!After a moment of shock, Zhong Chengcheng''s eyes widened as he stared at Zhong Guo in disbelief, "Dad, why... why did you hit me!" "Still talking!" Zhong Guo yelled angrily, and his hand came crashing down on his head. Snap! Zhong Guo didn''t hold back at all, that slap was fierce. He fiercely slapped Zhong Chengcheng and barked, "Apologize to Master Lin!" "Master... Master Lin?" Zhong Chengcheng muttered, looking utterly bewildered. "Alright, Old Zhong!" At this point, Lin Tian''s calm voice came from behind Zhong Guo. Lin Tian rose with an indifferent expression and walked over slowly. Lin Tian approached Zhong Chengcheng with a smile, sized him up, and gently patted his swollen cheek: "No wonder you''re so arrogant, the son of the chief of the Public Security Bureau, eh! Should I kneel down and beg for mercy?" "Uh, uh..." Zhong Chengcheng stared dumbly at Lin Tian. He was completely intimidated by Lin Tian. Even now, Zhong Chengcheng was still in shock. He could never have imagined that his usually doting father would hit him, and that it was upon seeing Lin Tian, he did not hesitate to slap him. This is unscientific! This was totally not the father he knew. Who in the world was this guy, to make his own father act in such a way? Watching the dumbfounded Zhong Chengcheng, who dared not speak, Lin Tian smiled subtly, knowing that Zhong Chengcheng was thoroughly subdued. Thinking this, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered to deal with him any further, his gaze shifting to Zhu Fei, who was also shocked, sized him up, and chuckled: "At first, I thought you were very enthusiastic, but I didn''t expect you''d dare to stab me in the back! What do you think I should do about this?" "Ah..." Staring dumbly at Lin Tian, after a moment, Zhu Fei slapped himself across the face. "Snap!" The slap was fast and hard! Instantly, a vivid red handprint appeared on Zhu Fei''s cheek. With a fierce slap, Zhu Fei didn''t stop his movements, fiercely slapping his other cheek with his other hand. Snap, snap! S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With alternating hands, Zhu Fei fiercely slapped his face, all the while bending humbly and pleading: "It''s all my fault, I was blind not to recognize a powerful figure! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!" As he spoke, Zhu Fei fiercely slapped his face, not sparing himself at all. Zhu Fei was truly terrified. In his eyes, the chief of Wu''an City Public Security Bureau was a significant force. But, but he could never have imagined that even Zhong Guo, upon seeing Lin Tian, would slap his own son without a word. After all, Zhong Guo''s protective nature toward his son was well-known throughout Wu''an City. The fact that Zhong Guo had done this showed how terrifying Lin Tian''s influence must be. Seeing Zhu Fei slapping himself, Lin Tian was also taken aback. He didn''t expect Zhu Fei to be so self-aware. Lin Tian had been planning to teach him a small lesson, but seeing Zhu Fei so self-aware, he felt it wasn''t necessary anymore. After seeing Zhu Fei continuously slapping himself, turning both cheeks red, Lin Tian finally told him to stop. After surveying these people, Lin Tian shook his head, turned to He Qianqian and said, "Let''s go." Then Lin Tian took He Qianqian''s hand and left. "Master Lin, let''s keep in touch by phone," came Zhong Guo''s voice from behind. Lin Tian waved his hand and didn''t speak. Exiting Anime City, He Qianqian turned her head, looking curiously at Lin Tian, and asked, "Lin Tian, who is Zhong Chengcheng''s dad? Do you know him?" "Oh, his dad is the head of Wu''an City Public Security Bureau," Lin Tian said with an air of indifference. "The head of the Public Security Bureau?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, He Qianqian was surprised, murmuring to herself, "No wonder Zhong Chengcheng is so arrogant." Then suddenly lifting her head, she looked at Lin Tian in astonishment: "He seems really afraid of you!" "Of course, who do you think your husband is?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, somewhat proudly said. "Cut it out, now tell me, what exactly happened?" He Qianqian''s expression was very curious. She found it strange that the head of a public security bureau would be so afraid of a young man? It was completely illogical. He Qianqian knew that Lin Tian''s parents were just ordinary people. "What happened?" Lin Tian chuckled, waved his hand confidently, and said: "Naturally, I''m dashing and stunning, and he was intimidated by my handsomeness and charm the moment he saw me! Then you know what happened!" With that, Lin Tian slightly raised an eyebrow in pride. "Keep dreaming!" Seeing Lin Tian always fooling around, He Qianqian stretched out her hand and pinched his waist hard. "Ah! Mercy, my dear wife!" Lin Tian cried out in feigned pain. ... Afterwards, the two strolled outside for another hour before heading back to the hotel. Tonight, they planned to stay overnight at the hotel. Once they returned to their hotel room, He Qianqian went to take a bath, and Lin Tian walked out of the hotel. In the hotel corridor, Lin Tian paced back and forth impatiently, appearing hesitant. After hesitating for a while, he took a deep breath, decided, and then took out his phone to call Bu Mengting. "Hello? Mengting? Where are you, at home? Come out, I''m waiting at the hotel. It''s okay, just say you''re going back to school, it''s not too late now. Yeah, okay, I''m in room 316 on the third floor of Jinjiang Hotel. Good. I''ll wait for you outside the hotel." After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian took another deep breath. Nervous! At that moment, Lin Tian felt extremely nervous, his heartbeat noticeably faster. Lin Tian knew that He Qianqian and Bu Mengting would definitely have to confront each other. But, but he didn''t want to give up on either of them. And this day was always going to come. Originally, Lin Tian had planned to create a superpower to help himself. But later, he changed his mind, feeling it was unnecessary. "Who knows how it will turn out?" Mumbling to himself while looking down, Lin Tian''s hands nervously fiddled with his phone screen. Today, Lin Tian intended to make the three meet! Showdown! He quietly stood in the corridor for a while, then Lin Tian went back to the room. Upon returning to the room, Lin Tian found He Qianqian was still not done with her bath, so he called toward the bathroom, "Qianqian, I''m going out to buy something, I''ll be right back." "Why are you going out so late?" He Qianqian''s voice came from the bathroom. "It''s nothing, I''ll be back soon." Lin Tian responded, then opened the door and left the room. At the corridor, Lin Tian closed the door and took a deep breath before stepping out. After waiting outside the hotel for about ten minutes, Lin Tian met Bu Mengting. In fact, when he called her, Bu Mengting was already nearby. "Why call me out so late?" Seeing Lin Tian in the hotel lobby, Bu Mengting asked timidly. Calling her out at this hour, she naturally knew why. "I missed you!" Lin Tian smiled unnaturally. "You seem nervous!" Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian curiously. "Do I? I don''t think so," Lin Tian said with a strained smile. Nervous! At that moment, he was actually extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian tried to act natural and then took Bu Mengting''s hand, saying, "Let''s go." "Your hand is so cold, are you okay?" Holding Lin Tian''s hand, Bu Mengting asked curiously. "I''m fine, totally fine!" Lin Tian said, pretending to be calm. But in reality, he was so nervous his palms were sweating. Holding Bu Mengting''s hand, the two took the elevator to the third floor. Arriving at room 316, Lin Tian swallowed nervously. After several deep breaths to gather himself, he finally used the room card to open the door. Click, with the sound of the door opening, Bu Mengting walked in first. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire Seeing Bu Mengting had entered, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and followed her in. Just as Lin Tian closed the door, and Bu Mengting was about to hold his hand, suddenly, click, the bathroom door opened! Hmm? Bu Mengting turned her head toward the bathroom in confusion! Could there be someone else here? Just as she turned, she saw He Qianqian stepping out while drying her wet hair with a towel wrapped around her. Chapter 185 You are all my women! ```Seemingly noticing something, He Qianqian paused, lifted her head, and was stunned! Seeing this scene, all three of them were stunned. Bu Mengting, who had been wearing a smile on her face, was now frozen with the smile still plastered on her face, but it had become incredibly stiff. And He Qianqian, who had been tilting her head slightly as she dabbed the water droplets from her hair, also halted her movements, her body rigid in place, frozen in that position. "Uh..." Seeing this scene, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit awkward. After a few seconds of eerie silence, He Qianqian glanced at Bu Mengting and stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes. Bu Mengting also turned to look at Lin Tian, her face serious. "Uh, uh..." Looking at the two women, Lin Tian spread his hands, opened his mouth to say something, but when it came to his lips, he didn''t know what to say. "Phew!" Taking a deep breath and forcing herself to calm down, He Qianqian didn''t say anything and quickly turned to the other side of the room to get dressed. Seeing He Qianqian walk away, Bu Mengting looked at Lin Tian with an ashen face, "What do you mean?" Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire "No, I didn''t mean anything!" Lin Tian said with an awkward smile. "Shameless!" Snorting coldly, Bu Mengting''s face was livid as she clenched the doorknob. "What''s the matter?" Lin Tian grabbed Bu Mengting''s hand. "Let go, I''m going out!" Bu Mengting shouted angrily, forcefully shaking her hand loose. "No!" Lin Tian held onto Bu Mengting''s hand, not letting her leave. "Patter patter!" At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps were heard, and the already dressed He Qianqian came over with an expressionless face. Arriving at the door and seeing Lin Tian blocking the portal, He Qianqian said coldly, "Move away!" Lin Tian pressed his back firmly against the doorknob, shook his head, and kept quiet! "I SAID MOVE!" He Qianqian suddenly shouted in anger. Hearing that voice, Lin Tian''s heart pounded; he swallowed hard. Anger! Lin Tian had never seen He Qianqian this angry. Seeing Lin Tian not moving, He Qianqian stepped forward angrily and tugged at Lin Tian''s shoulder, barking, "Move aside for me!" He Qianqian''s strength was no match for Lin Tian''s. "Move!" He Qianqian shouted in rage. Lin Tian bowed his head slightly, adamant about not moving aside. After trying to move him several times and finding she absolutely could not, He Qianqian finally gave up. Standing in front of Lin Tian, He Qianqian stared at him coldly and said, "What exactly do you want?" Lin Tian raised his head, glancing at He Qianqian and then at Bu Mengting, giving an awkward smile, "I, I just want all of us to talk together." "Talk? Talk about what? Aren''t you shameless?" He Qianqian said angrily. Hearing the two''s conversation, Bu Mengting stood aside, not speaking. Looking at both of them, Lin Tian took a deep breath and said earnestly, "I don''t care, you are both my women! Neither of you is allowed to leave today!" "Slap!" Suddenly, a loud slap echoed. He Qianqian slapped Lin Tian hard on the face. Lin Tian could have easily avoided that slap, but he did not; feeling the burning sensation on his cheek, he raised his head, looked at He Qianqian sincerely, and said: "Hit me! Even if it''s to beat me to death, I won''t move aside. I''ve said it, you''re both my women, and no one is leaving tonight!" "Rascal!" He Qianqian shouted in anger, and another slap flew towards him! Slap! This slap was extremely fierce, making He Qianqian''s palm throb with pain. Lifting his head slightly, Lin Tian closed his eyes, serenely saying, "Go on! Hit me as hard as you can!" "You..." He Qianqian, furious, pointed at Lin Tian, too angry to speak. "So what do you want?" Bu Mengting glared at Lin Tian. Hearing this, Lin Tian opened his eyes, looking at the two seriously, "I want the two of you to both be my girlfriends." S§×arch* The Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Dream on!" "Impossible!" Two voices spoke in unison. ``` He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a face full of sarcasm. "What? You want to have both of us? Keep dreaming!" Although Bu Mengting didn''t speak anymore, her eyes said it all. Lin Tian glanced at He Qianqian and then at Bu Mengting, gritted his teeth, and said with determination, "I don''t care, you''ll have to agree even if you don''t!" "What if we don''t agree?" He Qianqian coldly stared at Lin Tian. Lin Tian chuckled, then looked at the two girls somewhat smugly and said, "From now on, both of you are my girlfriends. Hmph, finally, I can have both arms around someone¡ªI''ve dreamed about this moment for so long. Haha!" With that, Lin Tian let out a proud laugh. Seeing Lin Tian''s smug expression, He Qianqian was so infuriated that she clenched her teeth and fiercely bit into Lin Tian''s arm. "Huff, huff!" As he looked at the spots that were almost bleeding from being bitten by the two girls, Lin Tian felt a surge of annoyance, turned his head to look at the girls, and barked at them: "Okay then, you dare to resist! See if you can handle my family law!" With that, Lin Tian pounced on them. "Ah!" "No!" After that, the three of them were extremely exhausted and subsequently fell into a deep sleep. This sleep lasted until noon. At twelve noon, Lin Tian woke up groggily. He tried to move his hand but couldn''t. Turning his head to look, he realized that his arms were pinned down by the two girls. His left arm was pinned by Bu Mengting, while his right arm was pinned by He Qianqian. As soon as Lin Tian moved his hand, both girls gradually woke up. When the two girls opened their eyes and saw each other, recalling the madness of the previous night, they both felt a bit embarrassed. Getting up awkwardly, they then began to put on their clothes. While dressing, Lin Tian noticed that the two girls were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding each other, clearly still feeling shy. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian pulled the two girls over with a cheeky smile and said, "What''s this, still shy? We''re practically an old married couple now!" "Who''s an old married couple with you!" He Qianqian said angrily. "Exactly!" Bu Mengting chimed in immediately. "Look, look!" Lin Tian pointed at He Qianqian, then at Bu Mengting, grinning, "Look how in sync you are! You''re really destined to be my women!" "Drop dead!" Both girls shouted in unison. But after speaking, they both paused. Such a coincidence, too much of a coincidence. Seeing this, Lin Tian grinned, wiggled his eyebrows, and said somewhat proudly, "I told you, you''re like siblings!" "What are you babbling about!" He Qianqian gave Lin Tian a look, glanced at Bu Mengting, then looked back at Lin Tian and sighed, "I''m much older than you, I''m practically an old maid already!" "What old maid!" Lin Tian laughed and hugged He Qianqian, chuckling, "You''ll always be my tender young thing!" "What are you doing?" He Qianqian''s face instantly turned crimson, and she hurriedly dodged away. With Bu Mengting by her side, she just couldn''t let loose. Keep in mind, both girls used to be his students. "Teehee, why be shy?" Lin Tian chuckled without forcing He Qianqian any further, then turned to Bu Mengting, moved closer, and with a grin said, "Come on, Mengting, give me a kiss!" "Get lost!" Bu Mengting pushed Lin Tian''s face away with a slap. "Tch, no fun!" Lin Tian pouted. As they quietly finished dressing, He Qianqian looked seriously at Lin Tian: "Lin Tian, we''re really not suitable, you have Mengting now. Your ages match perfectly." "Nonsense, both of you are mine, be careful or you''ll have to deal with my family law!" Lin Tian said, clearly displeased. Shaking her head, He Qianqian earnestly looked at Lin Tian: "We''re really not suitable; let''s not even talk about other things¡ªjust consider age. In a few years, I''ll be old, and time waits for no one." At this point, He Qianqian let out a soft sigh. He Qianqian was just a few years away from thirty, and her most youthful days were passing by. Seeing this, Lin Tian laughed, "Don''t worry, I''ll make sure you stay eternally youthful!" "Yeah right! Stop joking around with me; if you could really do that, why wouldn''t I agree with you?" He Qianqian gave Lin Tian a look. "Really?" Lin Tian''s eyes brightened. "Truer than true gold!" He Qianqian gave Lin Tian a look, not believing for a second that Lin Tian could do it. Eternal youth? She thought it was all just a performance! And just as He Qianqian agreed, suddenly, Lin Tian stiffened, and an electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind... Chapter 186 You Know How Awesome I Am! But just as He Qianqian agreed, Lin Tianyi suddenly paused, and an electronic, synthesized voice rang out in his mind:"Task: Fulfill He Qianqian''s wish for eternal youth. Reward for completion: One Supernatural Point. Note: This task must be completed within one month. Failure to do so will result in task failure." Upon hearing this task, Lin Tian blinked, then a thrill ran through him! This was practically a free Supernatural Point! Even without this task, Lin Tian would ensure He Qianqian''s perpetual youth; it was a given for him. And now this system alert had essentially handed Lin Tian a free Supernatural Point. "However, to keep Qianqian forever young, I''ll definitely need to create a new superpower. But I currently only have eight Supernatural Points, which is not enough." With this in mind, Lin Tian''s consciousness briefly sank into the Sea of Consciousness, scanning the eight Supernatural Points floating within. "This task must be completed within a month, meaning I need to get two Supernatural Points this month. Looks like it''s time to step it up," Lin Tian thought to himself. "Hey! What''s up? Daydreamer!" While Lin Tian stood there, lost in thought, He Qianqian waved her hand in front of his eyes. Looking at the fair little hand waving before him, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, grabbed it, and giggled, "I was thinking about how to keep you young forever within a month!" "Psh, give it up!" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and tried to pull back her hand that he was holding. But after a while, He Qianqian couldn''t pull it free. Seeing Lin Tian gripping her wrist tightly, He Qianqian glared at him and chided, "Let go, I need to get dressed!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian''s gaze shifted, and his heartbeat quickened. Two hours later, Lin Tian exited the hotel with his left arm around He Qianqian and his right around Bu Mengting. Despite the girls'' strong resistance to Lin Tian''s behavior, they were both so tired from his antics that they eventually capitulated and let him embrace them. Still, as soon as they saw someone approaching, they quickly bowed their heads, their faces blushing instantly! Embarrassed! Shy! Both of them felt flushed at the thought of being one of the two girls in the arms of the same man, let alone in public. Seeing people coming, Lin Tian looked up with a big grin and deliberately called out loudly, "Big and little wives, let''s go!" Hearing this, everyone around turned their gaze towards Lin Tian. Most of the men looked at him with a mix of envy and resentment. Damn! An arm around each girl! And both are beauties! It should be me! Gleefully embracing the two girls, Lin Tian left the hotel with a smug look on his face. Although his flanks were twisted by the girls into pretzels, Lin Tian showed no sign of fear. Strutting! One girl under each arm, walking down the street had long been a dream of Lin Tian''s. Realizing this wish, he didn''t mind showing off a bit, even if it meant getting pinched. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire Wearing a smug expression and walking out of the hotel with the two girls, He Qianqian couldn''t take it anymore after a few steps. Looking up at Lin Tian, she said, "Have you had enough fun? If you keep this up, I''m leaving first!" "Exactly! It''s so embarrassing!" Bu Mengting''s fair little face was still flushed. "Hehe, hehe, okay, okay!" Lin Tian laughed with a silly grin and scratched the back of his head, looking utterly foolish. Lin Tian knew his limits, when to push the envelope and when to stop. HIs behavior just now had crossed a line, but not so far as to turn the girls completely off. However, continuing down that road would have surely ended badly. Now was the time to pull back, to show restraint, while simultaneously playing the role of a naive and honest fool would absolutely win the girls'' tender hearts. Indeed, seeing Lin Tian''s foolish look, the anger bubbling up inside He Qianqian dissipated quite a bit. She wanted to scold him sternly, but what came out was, "You can''t do this anymore. If you do it again, I really will ignore you!" "Exactly, exactly!" Bu Mengting nodded vigorously in agreement. "Report to the two leaders, mission guaranteed to be accomplished!" Lin Tian saluted smartly with a serious expression. As he spoke, Lin Tian held the salute, immobile, like a soldier awaiting inspection. He Qianqian and Bu Mengting watched him silently, saying nothing. After about a dozen seconds, Lin Tian remained in that pose, not moving, all seriousness. Seeing this, Bu Mengting couldn''t help but laugh first, patting Lin Tian''s arm, "Okay, okay, no need to salute anymore. You really do look the part, huh!" "Of course!" Lin Tian flicked his hair with a cocky eyebrow raise, "My awesomeness, you know it!" "Clueless!" He Qianqian shot back unceremoniously from the side. "Oh, you dare to mock your husband? Watch how I''ll use family law on you when we get back!" Lin Tian teased as he moved closer to He Qianqian. Just thinking of Lin Tian''s mention of ''family law'' made He Qianqian''s face flush red, and she slapped at him with a coquettish snort, "Stop it!" Seeing He Qianqian''s hand coming his way, Lin Tian dodged nimbly and began to sing playfully, hopping around, "La la la, a beauty on the left, a beauty on the right! Why is life so carefree, la la la!" Lin Tian appeared excited, hopping and skipping continuously. Watching the seemingly unhinged Lin Tian, He Qianqian felt speechless and rolled her eyes, "Alright, stop it, let''s go eat, I''m starving!" "Right, right!" Bu Mengting chimed in. Seeing the girls were genuinely hungry, Lin Tian stopped his antics, dropped the cheeky expression, and waved a hand, "Come on, let''s go for a feast, whoosh!" With that, he grabbed one girl''s hand in each of his and rushed forward! S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Chapter 187 Exciting Enough? Ten minutes later, at the Longxiang Hotel, Lin Tian, Bu Mengting, and He Qianqian were having a meal together."Here, have a lobster!" Lin Tian laughed as he picked up a plate-sized lobster for He Qianqian. After serving He Qianqian, Lin Tian chuckled, picked up his chopsticks and grabbed another lobster of the same size for Bu Mengting, laughing, "Here, little wife, this one''s for you?" "Hmph! I''m no little wife!" Bu Mengting pouted, jabbing fiercely at the lobster on her plate with her chopsticks. "Not the little wife?" Lin Tian pretended to be astonished as he looked at Bu Mengting, exclaiming, "Could it be that you want to be the main wife now?" "You..." Fuming, Bu Mengting snorted, turned her head, and viciously poked the lobster with her chopsticks, muttering softly: "Stab you to death! Stab you to death!" Watching Bu Mengting act petulantly, Lin Tian chuckled, leaned back in his chair, looked at He Qianqian on his left and then at Bu Mengting on his right, sighing contentedly, "Life! What is life! This is life!" Saying this, Lin Tian clapped his hands loudly and turned his head to shout, "Waiter, bring three more big lobsters!" "Showing off, huh! Disgusting!" As soon as Lin Tian spoke, suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him. Before Lin Tian could turn his head, that same crisp voice came again near his ear: "I''ve bought all the lobsters in the hotel, specifically not for him!" Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned! Provocation! This was an outright provocation! With a slight frown, Lin Tian turned his head and then saw a girl dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans. When the girl noticed Lin Tian turning his head, she glared fiercely at him, her face full of disdain. Although Lin Tian admitted the girl was pretty, he was still very irritated. Damn! What did I do to provoke her? "Come here!" Then the girl waved to a waiter to come over. After the waiter walked over, the girl whispered a few words to him, then the waiter headed towards Lin Tian. With a slight bow, the waiter looked apologetically at Lin Tian, "Sorry, the big lobster you ordered is gone!" "It was still available a minute ago, and now it''s gone!" Lin Tian''s brow furrowed even more. "All the lobsters have been booked by that miss!" The waiter apologetically gestured towards the girl. Lin Tian glanced at the girl, and seeing Lin Tian looking over: the girl disdainfully flipped him the middle finger. Damn! Lin Tian cursed under his breath, and then with a cold face, he looked at the waiter bending slightly before him, his voice chilling, "I remembered I called before her!" "She is our hotel''s super member! Our boss said to meet her requests as much as possible!" The waiter explained with a smile. "Tell me, how much is it? I''ll become a super member too!" Lin Tian''s tone grew colder. "It''s not something money can buy!" The waiter''s face bore a professional smile. "What do you mean?" Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flickering through them! "Just that you can''t get it with money! Country bumpkin, you really think money can buy everything! Psh!" At that moment, a mocking laugh from the girl reached his ears, and with that, the girl flipped Lin Tian the middle finger again. Seeing the girl persistently causing trouble, Lin Tian was genuinely getting angry, coldly warning her, "Behave, or I''ll strip your clothes and throw you out on the street!" "Psh! Come on then! Have the guts to do it!" The girl arrogantly flipped him the middle finger repeatedly. "Hmph!" Lin Tian sneered coldly as he stood up. Naturally, Lin Tian noticed the black-clothed bodyguards around the girl, but did he think these people could stop him? "Alright! Lin Tian, don''t!" Just as Lin Tian was about to teach the girl a lesson, suddenly, He Qianqian grabbed his wrist. "Yes, Lin Tian, let it go!" At that moment, Bu Mengting also advised. Both girls didn''t want Lin Tian to stir up too much trouble. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire They just wanted Lin Tian to be safe and sound. Looking at the sincere eyes of the two girls, Lin Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes and eventually shook his head and sat down. "Psh! Coward!" Seeing Lin Tian sit down, the girl scornfully flipped him the middle finger again. Lin Tian ignored her, as if ignoring a barking dog. But Lin Tian was sure, if he got the chance, he would definitely make this person taste his wrath. Thinking this, Lin Tian fiercely took his revenge on the last remaining lobster on his plate. Several minutes later, a huge pile of lobsters was served to the girl''s table. Lin Tian ignored her and continued eating his remaining food. "Oh, too much food is not good! Throw it away!" The girl slightly pouted her lips, then with a flick of her hand said, "I don''t want this anymore!" Smack! Suddenly, a lobster the size of a plate was flung away by Zhong Liting and fell to the ground. "Don''t want this one either! Too small!" "Don''t want this one! Too big!" "Definitely not these three, they look like the adulterous couple next door!" Saying this, Zhong Liting giggled, flung the three stacked lobsters aside, and then looked at Lin Tian with a beaming smile. Lin Tian paused, a flash of cold light in his eyes, then continued to eat his meal. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing such provocation did not elicit a response from Lin Tian, Zhong Liting got bored after a while, so with a bored expression, she clapped her hands and hummed as she got up to leave, "Boring, I''m leaving!" As she left, four or five bodyguards in black suits followed from a distance. Catching sight of the girl''s departure direction from the corner of his eyes, Lin Tian wiped his mouth and said to the two girls, "I''m going to use the restroom downstairs." "You''re not going after that girl, are you?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with a doubtful expression. Bu Mengting also looked at Lin Tian with a serious expression. "Not at all! She went upstairs, I''m just going downstairs to the restroom, how could I!" Lin Tian chuckled. Hearing Lin Tian say this, the two girls finally let him go. However, despite this, the two girls still watched Lin Tian enter the restroom on that floor before they felt relieved. What they didn''t know was that as soon as Lin Tian entered the restroom on that floor, he quickly became invisible in a secluded corner and stepped out again. Becoming invisible, Lin Tian glanced upwards and then quickly walked forward. And this spot was exactly where Zhong Liting had headed. This little girl daring to provoke him like this, Lin Tian couldn''t swallow his pride without teaching her a lesson! On the second floor, in the women''s restroom, Zhong Liting was washing her hands with a bored expression. Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Zhong Liting frowned discontentedly: "Really, even provocation is useless! Is he even a man? So boring, no thrill at all!" "You pervert!" Without another word, Zhong Liting turned around and slapped hard! Smack! Lin Tian grabbed her incoming hand. Whoosh! Her long leg fiercely swung toward Lin Tian! Smack! The kick was extremely fast, and if it were an ordinary person, even a man, would have been kicked flying! For this kick, Zhong Liting was very confident! Smack! Suddenly, Zhong Liting''s eyes widened, her face a picture of astonishment! Caught! Her ankle was easily caught by Lin Tian. The strike she was sure would succeed was effortlessly caught by Lin Tian. Holding Zhong Liting''s ankle, Lin Tian pressed forward, directly pinning her against the wall, forcibly restraining her. "You¡­" Both ashamed and furious! Zhong Liting barked angrily, then immediately drove her knee up fiercely! Smack! Lin Tian quickly suppressed her move with his foot! "Aah!" Seeing this, Lin Tian chuckled, his head quickly jerking back. "Bang! Bang!" Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a burst of rapid gunfire came from outside. Hearing the sound, Lin Tian''s expression changed, and he quickly pulled his hand out from Zhong Liting''s pants and ran out! Gunfire! Why would there be gunfire here, and the sound seemed to come from the first floor. He Qianqian and Bu Mengting were still on the first floor. What worried Lin Tian even more was the gunfire was intense, obviously not from just one gun. When Lin Tian ran out, Zhong Liting still stood there like a fool, looking stunned in the direction Lin Tian disappeared. Chapter 188 Pretend your sister! ```The urgent sound of gunfire from downstairs made Lin Tian tense up; he no longer cared about Zhong Liting and rushed out immediately. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, the two most important women in his life, were downstairs, yet the sound of rapid gunfire was echoing from there¡ªhow could he not be worried? Despite having the superpower of foresight, this ability only predicted major events; minor accidents like bumps and scrapes to the girls could not be foreseen. And Lin Tian did not want the girls to have even the slightest mishap. Whoosh! With a grave expression, Lin Tian raced downstairs! Lin Tian was quick; in just a few seconds, he had dashed to the stairway connecting the second floor to the first. Standing at the top of the stairs, Lin Tian paused, his gaze falling downward. This was an excellent vantage point; from here, he could grasp the entire situation on the first floor. A sweep of his gaze and Lin Tian felt slightly relieved. Although the fight below was fierce, it had not yet affected anyone else, and He Qianqian and Bu Mengting were both crouched under a table. They were far from the shootout, so the bullets couldn''t reach them¡ª at least not for the moment. Seeing this, Lin Tian finally let go of his worries, and only then did he have the peace of mind to carefully observe this sudden turn of events. Scanning briefly, Lin Tian looked toward the group on the opposite side. All of a sudden, one of Zhong Liting''s four bodyguards was shot in the foot and let out a wail of anguish. With a cry of pain, the bodyguard moved his body instinctively and groaned. But as soon as he moved, Bang! Another gunshot rang out, and a bloody hole appeared in his forehead. Instantly, the bodyguard''s screams came to an abrupt halt, and his body slowly collapsed. "Abiao!" Suddenly, a panicked voice came from behind Lin Tian. Turning his head at the sound, Lin Tian discovered Zhong Liting had somehow run out. Hearing Zhong Liting''s voice, all seven or eight assassins looked up, quickly pointing their guns toward the upper floor. Witnessing this scene, the remaining three bodyguards panicked. They quickly got up and urged, "Miss, go back!" "Bang bang! Clang clang!" Lin Tian pulled Zhong Liting sharply, yanking her away; just as he pulled Zhong Liting aside, bullets struck precisely where she had just been standing. Staring at the spots where she had stood, now pocked with bullet holes, Zhong Liting''s small face turned pale with fright. Letting go of Zhong Liting''s hand, Lin Tian slightly peeked out and looked downstairs again. At a glance, Lin Tian was shocked! Just in that short time, the remaining three bodyguards had all been killed. Meanwhile, the seven or eight assassins were quickly charging upstairs. Seeing this, Lin Tian pulled his head back in and told the pale-faced Zhong Liting, "Your remaining three bodyguards are dead too!" "Ah?" Zhong Liting was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Tian with disbelief, "You''re lying!" "Believe it or not, those people are coming up!" Seeing Zhong Liting''s disbelief, Lin Tian laughed indifferently. As soon as Lin Tian finished his sentence, a series of urgent footsteps came from the stairwell. The intense sound of those footsteps made it clear that many people were rushing their way swiftly. Hearing these rapid ''pata pata'' footsteps, Zhong Liting''s face changed, and she froze, struck by fear and indecision. Seeing Zhong Liting scared stiff, Lin Tian gave a faint smile, "How about you ask me for help, and I will help you?" "Huff!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian''s words snapped Zhong Liting back to reality. She glared at Lin Tian fiercely, then turned and ran swiftly towards the back. "Eh..." Seeing Zhong Liting just run off, Lin Tian was taken aback. He hadn''t expected her to recover so quickly and to act with such decisiveness. Didn''t she just look utterly terrified? "But... why did she glare at me! Completely out of the blue!" Lin Tian muttered to himself. While Lin Tian was standing there dazed, the footsteps at the stairwell were growing closer. Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lin Tian slowly turned around, ready to face them as they arrived. "Bang!" Just as Lin Tian was gauging when those individuals should have been approaching, a gunshot suddenly sounded. The shot seemed to come from the entrance of the lobby on the first floor. "Bang!" "Bang!" Following that shot were two more. At the sound of these sudden gunshots, Lin Tian realized that the footsteps that should have been imminent had disappeared! Realizing this, Lin Tian was astonished, "Could it be someone else has arrived?" "Bang! Bang!" As Lin Tian wondered, two more gunshots rang out. These shots had a distinct character, seeming measured and rhythmic, like a champion dancer performing a graceful dance nearby. Lin Tian was curious about who this newcomer might be! While Lin Tian was pondering, he suddenly noticed that Zhong Liting, who had been running forward, had stopped in her tracks! Glancing at Zhong Liting, Lin Tian saw she was now standing excitedly behind a column, looking eagerly downstairs. No longer showing the initial panic on her face, she seemed to sense a savior had arrived! "Hm?" Seeing this, Lin Tian grew curious and peeked downstairs once more. Looking down, he immediately saw a young man in his twenties, dressed in a black suit, holding a pistol in his hand. "Bang!" The young man calmly pulled the trigger of his gun, his actions seeming very composed. Click! Following the young man''s move, Lin Tian saw one of the initially charging seven or eight men suddenly fall! "Huff!" Suddenly, the young man swiftly shifted his gun, and bang, another shot was fired! Click! With his movement, the target of his pistol slowly fell! Shot in the forehead! ``` "Amazing, Huo Peiyu! That was fantastic!" Zhong Liting exclaimed excitedly from behind the pillar upon witnessing the scene. As she spoke, she even stepped out from behind the pillar. Huo Peiyu must be someone Zhong Liting knew, perhaps even one of her bodyguards! At the same time, in just a few seconds, those seven or eight assassins had all died! All were dead by the hand of this young man! "A master!" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched. Anyone who could master gunplay to this extent was definitely a master. "Could he be a superpowered individual?" Lin Tian wondered, looking at Huo Peiyu with puzzlement. If he was a superpowered individual, one had to be careful not to accidentally trigger anything unfortunate. With this thought, Lin Tian took out three coins from his pocket and tossed them lightly. Hum hum~! The coins spun rapidly on the ground. Divine! Lin Tian was divining information about this person. Not sure if he was a superpowered individual, Lin Tian decided to use divination. If the other party was a superpowered individual, he wouldn''t be able to divine much, as his own divination skills were too weak. If the other wasn''t, Lin Tian could still divine the information. Whether he could divine it or not, Lin Tian would be able to confirm if the other party was a superpowered individual. "Hum hum~ Snap!" The coins stopped spinning. As the coins came to a rest, a stream of information appeared in Lin Tian''s mind. Assimilating the memories in his mind, Lin Tian was startled for a moment before a hint of realization flashed across his eyes. "So that''s how it is!" By then, Lin Tian had confirmed that this person was not a superpowered individual, and he discovered something interesting from the person''s information. A playful smile crossing his face, Lin Tian sorted through the information in his mind while bending down to pick up each of the three coins from the ground. Snap snap! As Lin Tian picked up the coins, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from his body. Upon picking up the coins, Lin Tian looked up to see Zhong Liting running back toward him at high speed. She came back! To be precise, she was rushing toward the staircase. The moment Zhong Liting ran past him, Lin Tian reached out and grabbed her. Snap! Lin Tian''s hand firmly grasped Zhong Liting''s arm. "What are you doing? Let go!" Zhong Liting glared at Lin Tian, her face full of anger. "Do you know that guy?" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow towards the ground floor. By then, Huo Peiyu had also noticed Zhong Liting and was calmly making his way upstairs. "Hmph! You''re dead meat!" Zhong Liting did not answer Lin Tian''s question but instead looked at him with a threatening gaze. "Dead meat, huh?" A faint smile appeared on Lin Tian''s lips as he mouthed toward the ground floor, "Just with him? What else? Do you know who he is?" "Clearer than you!" Zhong Liting snapped angrily, struggling hard with her hand, trying to break free from Lin Tian''s grasp, but she couldn''t break free at all. As Lin Tian casually gripped Zhong Liting''s hand, he raised an eyebrow, chuckled, and said, "You''re clearer than me? Do you really believe he is the Huo Peiyu you know? He''s an impostor!" "Bullshit!" Zhong Liting yelled angrily, looking as if she''d like nothing better than to eat Lin Tian alive. She was convinced that Lin Tian was playing tricks on her! Bullshit... Hearing such a crude word, Lin Tian was speechless; it was the first time he had seen a girl curse like this! Speechlessly looking at her, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, "What if what I said is true?" Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire "If it''s true, this lady will strip naked for you to touch!" Zhong Liting fumed. "Uh..." Stunned by her sharp words, Lin Tian froze in place. After a moment, Lin Tian looked at Zhong Liting seriously, up and down, muttering to himself, "Although you''ve got a bit of a temper, there''s nothing to criticize about your looks. Since you''re so eager for me to touch, I''ll reluctantly accept your offer!" "You! You!" Zhong Liting glared at Lin Tian with a face full of fury, convinced that he must be insane! At that thought, Zhong Liting yanked her hand fiercely, "Let go of me!" Zhong Liting struggled fiercely, trying to free her hand, but she couldn''t escape Lin Tian''s firm grip. "Snap! Snap!..." At that moment, footsteps approached. With the footsteps, a figure slowly ascended from the lower floor. It was Huo Peiyu! On seeing Huo Peiyu, Zhong Liting''s face lit up. She quickly yelled at him, "Huo Peiyu, take care of this bastard! I want to strip him naked and throw him into the river!" Just as Huo Peiyu''s foot reached the second floor, Hearing Zhong Liting''s words, Huo Peiyu smiled faintly and then slowly lifted his handgun. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed and a coin slipped between his fingers. As Huo Peiyu raised the gun, Zhong Liting, stunned, said promptly, "Don''t shoot, he doesn''t deserve to die!" "..." Upon hearing Zhong Liting''s words, Lin Tian was on the verge of spitting blood! What did she mean by not deserving to die? Who did she think she was? And, truly, did she believe he had come to kill me? Lin Tian was beyond the point of frustration. Huo Peiyu slowly raised his handgun, but ultimately the barrel pointed at Zhong Liting. "You..." Gazing into the dark muzzle of the gun, Zhong Liting was dumbfounded. Chapter 189 Damn this guy! "I prefer you dead!" a calm voice came from ''Huo Peiyu'' as he slowly pulled the trigger."Bang!" With a loud noise, a copper bullet shot out! At the same moment, Lin Tian fiercely flicked his hand! Whoosh whoosh! The silver coin spun rapidly as it flew past! Bang! Dang! A metallic clang resounded as the bullet collided with the coin! Dang! Watching the coin being knocked away, ''Huo Peiyu'' was stunned! He couldn''t believe that his almost certain shot had failed! And to be deflected by a coin, no less! A coin deflecting a bullet? This beyond ordinary scene completely dumbfounded Huo Peiyu. While Huo Peiyu was still stunned, Lin Tian fiercely kicked off the ground! Whoosh! Lin Tian''s body swiftly lunged forward! Noticing Lin Tian''s movement, despite still being stunned, Huo Peiyu quickly reacted and fiercely raised his gun! Bang bang! A series of rapid gunshots rang out. In just one second, he fired four or five shots in succession! But all these shots missed! Lin Tian had suddenly vanished! He disappeared right in front of him as if he had vanished into thin air! Staring in amazement at this scene, Huo Peiyu was once again in shock. Whoosh! Suddenly, a whooshing sound came from beside his ear. Feeling this sound, Huo Peiyu''s expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to evade! But it was too late! Just as Huo Peiyu was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, then he lost consciousness altogether. Thud! As Huo Peiyu fell to the ground, the previously invisible Lin Tian appeared out of nowhere beside him. Invisibility, Lin Tian had just turned invisible. Deactivating his invisibility, Lin Tian crouched down, reached for Huo Peiyu''s neck, and then tore something. Rip! Following a ripping sound, Lin Tian pulled off a human skin mask from Huo Peiyu''s face. The person lying on the ground had now changed into a middle-aged man in his thirties. sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This, this..." Staring at the suddenly changed ''Huo Peiyu'' on the ground and then at the mask in Lin Tian''s hand, Zhong Liting was completely stupefied, disbelief written all over her face. Holding the mask, Lin Tian examined it for a moment, walked up to a shocked Zhong Liting, and looked her up and down with a smile: "Beautiful, didn''t you say you would strip for me to touch? I''m ready now!" "What, what''s happening?" Zhong Liting asked Lin Tian blankly. Whoosh! Lin Tian leaned back swiftly to dodge Zhong Liting''s slap and chuckled, "What''s wrong? Are you angry? You told me to touch you!" "You!" Zhong Liting glared at Lin Tian, her face full of anger. "Beep beep..." Suddenly, a series of urgent siren sounds came from outside. Hearing this, Lin Tian, who wanted to avoid trouble, planned to leave before the police arrived. He blew a kiss at Zhong Liting: "Beautiful, I''m off. Remember you owe me!" he said. Lin Tian gestured a groping motion with his hand, chuckled, and quickly walked away. Watching Lin Tian''s rapidly disappearing back, Zhong Liting stared at his receding figure with intense anger and muttered fiercely, "Jerk!" Meanwhile, as he briskly walked downstairs, Lin Tian made a phone call. Hurriedly walking downstairs, Lin Tian found He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, and they left the hotel before the police had completely sealed it off. ... He spent two days all cozied up with He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, enjoying the bliss of their company. However, on the third day, Lin Tian had no choice but to attend class. There was no helping it. Even if Lin Tian didn''t go to class, He Qianqian had to, and so did Bu Mengting. With both girls gone, Lin Tian reluctantly headed to class. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire But, he hadn''t even been in class for a day when he suddenly received a phone call. Checking the caller ID, it was from Zhong Guo! "Hello?" "Master Lin? I have a favor to ask of you!" Zhong Guo''s tone was very amiable! "What is it?" Lin Tian frowned. "It''s like this, it''s about protecting a businessman''s daughter. This businessman is a well-known patriotic merchant, and I haven''t been able to find a suitable person. I hope you can help, don''t worry, money is no issue!" As he spoke, Zhong Guo seemed somewhat nervous, unsure if Lin Tian would agree, but he couldn''t think of anyone more suitable than Lin Tian! Protection duty? Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned! After thinking for a bit, Lin Tian asked, "How long will it take?" "Just a week." Hearing this, Lin Tian looked somewhat hesitant! Ding! Just then, a synthetic electronic voice suddenly sounded: "Mission: Help Zhong Guo protect a person, reward upon completion: six Supernatural Points! The mission must be completed within a week!" Six Supernatural Points? Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned! It took a while for Lin Tian to come to his senses and he exclaimed: "Damn, six Supernatural Points? That many?" "What?" came Zhong Guo''s puzzled voice from the phone! He hadn''t clearly heard what Lin Tian said! Taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face: "Alright then, a week it is." In the end, Lin Tian agreed! Zhong Guo was the chief of Wu''an City''s Public Security Bureau, and Lin Tian often needed his help¡ªit was a favor to him! And most importantly, there were six Supernatural Points for completing the mission! With these six Supernatural Points, Lin Tian would have 14 Supernatural Points in total, enough to create a new superpower! Then he could make He Qianqian and Bu Mengting eternally youthful! "Good, I''ll send you the detailed information on the person you''re protecting in a moment." Hearing Lin Tian agree, Zhong Guo sounded very excited! "Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian looked somewhat puzzled and muttered, "System, didn''t you say you only fulfill wishes of beauties? Zhong Guo doesn''t seem to be a beauty!" Ding! An unemotional synthetic voice responded: "The system has evolved, it can now accomplish tasks related to beauties!" "Related to beauties? So, the person I''m protecting this time is a beauty, huh?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian''s eyes twinkled slighty! Half an hour later, Lin Tian held an envelope in his hand. Holding the envelope, Lin Tian opened it to find a photo inside, and upon pulling out the photo, he was instantly stunned. The person in the photo was none other than Zhong Liting, whom Lin Tian had met the day before yesterday! "Is it her?" he said, astounded. Stunned for a moment and looking at the cold demeanor of Zhong Liting in the photo, Lin Tian''s lips curled into a sly smile, a playful grin spreading across his face: "Looks like this is going to be fun!" Lin Tian had a vivid recollection of Zhong Liting''s temperamental and capricious nature. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be played to death by her, but Lin Tian... "Heh..." Thinking this, Lin Tian chuckled softly. Dealing with such a temperamental and capricious girl, others might not dare to say, but Lin Tian was quite sure of himself. Chapter 190 Do You Think I Dare! Within an upscale villa, Zhong Liting was frantically shaking her head, shouting, "No! No! I don''t want any bodyguard!""Alright, Tingting, be good, this time it''s really dangerous!" At this moment, a middle-aged man beside her said somewhat helplessly. "No! No! I absolutely do not want! And it''s a man, too!" Zhong Liting continued shaking her head vigorously, showing her reluctance. She was dead set against agreeing. "You..." Zhong Wang looked at Zhong Liting helplessly, about to say something, when suddenly a person wearing a black suit quickly entered the hall. Approaching Zhong Wang he said, "Mr. Zhong, the person has arrived." "Ah? He''s here? Please, bring him in!" Hearing this voice, Zhong Wang''s face lit up with joy. "Hmph! No! No! I just won''t accept it!" Hearing this, Zhong Liting pouted and shook her head fiercely. In the end, realizing no one was paying attention to her, she swiped her hand. Smack! Zhong Liting directly knocked the ashtray on the coffee table to the ground. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire Bang bang! The ashtray bounced on the floor, heading toward the doorway, and landed right at the feet of the man who had just come in¡ªLin Tian! Lin Tian bent down, picked up the ashtray with a smile, and said, "Throwing things around is not a good habit." Hearing this voice, Zhong Liting was taken aback. Familiar! The voice was extremely familiar. The owner of the voice was someone Zhong Liting would never forget. As soon as she heard it, she abruptly lifted her head. Lin Tian! It was this jerk! Seeing Zhong Liting looking his way, Lin Tian smiled contentedly, glancing at her ample chest and said, "Beauty, we meet again!" "This is Mr. Lin? Hello, hello!" Seeing Lin Tian come over, Zhong Wang walked up with a warm face. sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Then, hearing the exchange between Lin Tian and Zhong Liting, Zhong Wang looked at Lin Tian somewhat astonished, turned his head to look at his daughter, and curiously observed the two, "Do you know each other?" "I don''t know him!" "I do!" Two completely different answers sounded at the same time. After glancing at Zhong Liting, who looked displeased, Lin Tian turned his head, smiled at Zhong Wang, and said, "I know her, and if I remember correctly, I saved her the day before yesterday, didn''t I?" "Ah? You are that expert?" Zhong Wang stared at Lin Tian in surprise. Zhong Wang knew that the person who had saved his daughter that day was an expert; he hadn''t expected it to be Lin Tian! After a pause, Zhong Wang quickly grabbed Lin Tian''s hand with a look of gratitude, "Thank you! I am so thankful." "No big deal!" Lin Tian smiled lightly. "Pose!" Seeing Lin Tian''s demeanor, Zhong Liting muttered disdainfully. "Tingting, watch your language!" Hearing Zhong Liting''s voice, Zhong Wang frowned and said sternly: "Mr. Lin here is the personal bodyguard I''ve hired for you; you should properly thank him." "I don''t want to..." As she spoke, Zhong Liting paused, her eyes darting around, then suddenly changed her tone, "Fine! Let him be my bodyguard!" Although taken aback by Zhong Liting''s sudden change of heart, Lin Tian didn''t think much of it. Having confirmed the bodyguard arrangement, Lin Tian kept close behind Zhong Liting. Seeing Zhong Liting enter her boudoir, Lin Tian walked in without hesitation. Following Lin Tian inside was a girl in her twenties, a maid hired by the Zhong family to attend to Zhong Liting. Trailing behind the two girls, Lin Tian approached Zhong Liting''s boudoir. As he entered, he instantaneously smelled a faint fragrance. It was the distinctive scent of a girl. Inhaling the light aroma, Lin Tian surveyed the room with some curiosity. Everything in Zhong Liting''s room was pink¡ªthe curtains, the wallpaper, the comforter, the mosquito net... At the same time, Lin Tian also saw two or three pink stuffed dolls on Zhong Liting''s bed. Everything was pink, as if he had suddenly stepped into a pink world. "Hey, have you stared enough?" While Lin Tian was observing the room, an impolite voice suddenly came from beside his ear. Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze, scrutinizing Zhong Liting with a smile, "What''s up? Something wrong?" "Hmph!" With a cold snort, the maid beside Zhong Liting looked at Lin Tian with dissatisfaction and scolded, "Watch how you speak, and by the way, who let you in?" Seeing the girl''s haughty demeanor, Lin Tian was taken aback. Quite arrogant! She was on par with her mistress, Zhong Liting. Lin Tian looked at the girl in front of him, still for a moment. This girl, referred to by Zhong Liting as ''Xiaoya,'' seemed to be in her twenties. Although not as beautiful as Zhong Liting, she was still quite a looker. With that thought, Lin Tian glanced at her chest and then moved his gaze up, flashing a smile as he asked, "So, what are you suggesting?" "What do you mean? Aren''t you supposed to know, being a bodyguard!" Xiaoya scolded. "..." Lin Tian was speechless. It appeared that this girl was used to scolding bodyguards, treating him as if he were just another common bodyguard. "If you don''t curb that arrogant attitude of yours, believe it or not, I''ll strip you naked and violate you ruthlessly!" "You!" Xiaoya was furious at his words, and then she turned to look at Zhong Liting with a trace of grievance and anger in her eyes. "I''ll kill you!" As soon as Zhong Liting heard Lin Tian say that, she instantly recalled the humiliating scene in the bathroom the day before yesterday. She immediately picked up a chair next to her and smashed it towards Lin Tian. "Snap!" With an effortless catch, Lin Tian grabbed the chair that was smashed at him, continuing to smile at her. "You dare?" Zhong Liting said angrily! "You can try!" The corners of Lin Tian''s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Go to hell!" It had always been her threatening others; no one had ever dared threaten her. In a flash of rage, Zhong Liting grabbed another chair and hurled it towards Lin Tian''s head. "Snap!" Lin Tian caught the chair thrown by Zhong Liting with ease. "You dare?" Zhong Liting said angrily. "If you dare touch a single hair on me, I guarantee you''ll enter upright and leave sideways!" Zhong Liting looked at Lin Tian fearlessly. This was her home! This was her territory! She wasn''t afraid of what Lin Tian could do! She believed Lin Tian wouldn''t dare! "Hey, what the hell are you doing? Let go of the young lady, do you want to die?" When Lin Tian pushed Zhong Liting against the wall, Xiaoya finally snapped back to reality and glared at Lin Tian, yelling angrily. She thought Lin Tian was too arrogant¡ªa bodyguard daring to treat their young lady like this! Did he have a death wish? He had no idea who the Zhong family was! "What are you screaming for? Afraid that I''d forget about you? Come on, then!" As he spoke, Lin Tian quickly turned and closed the room door. Before Xiaoya could react, he grabbed her clothes, lifted her, and threw her onto the bed. Thump! Lin Tian flung Xiaoya straight into Zhong Liting''s two-meter-wide pink bed. Thump! With one hand, Lin Tian once again tossed Zhong Liting onto the bed. Both girls were thrown onto the bed by Lin Tian! "What are you trying to do?" Zhong Liting, flushed with rage, struggled to get up, but Lin Tian would not give her the chance. With a push of his feet, he pounced on her. Thump! Lin Tian pressed Zhong Liting and Xiaoya back into the bed once again. "What are you doing?" With Lin Tian''s overpowering strength, neither Zhong Liting nor Xiaoya could get up. Realizing she was unable to rise, Zhong Liting looked at Lin Tian and demanded angrily. "What am I doing?" Lin Tian smirked, scanning her up and down, and said with a smile, "Hmm..." While Lin Tian was speaking, he felt Xiaoya wriggling under his right hand, attempting to get up. Sensing Xiaoya''s struggle, Lin Tian turned his head towards her and said, "I told you if you spoke to me with such arrogance again, I''d strip you bare. Since you haven''t mended your ways, you''re going to witness my resolve!" With those words, Lin Tian paused mid-sentence, his smile turning sinister as he added, "Since there are two of you here, let''s settle this together." After saying that, Lin Tian reached for Zhong Liting''s collar. "You wouldn''t dare!" Zhong Liting stared at Lin Tian, furious. Lin Tian''s hand slowly tightened its grip. Feeling the increasingly powerful hand inside her collar, Zhong Liting finally started to panic and quickly said, "Do you know who I am? Even the governor is polite to my dad. If you dare do anything to me! I''m warning you, I..." "Heh..." With a cold scoff, Lin Tian tightened his grip and yanked hard! Stunned! Seeing this, Xiaoya beside them was dumbfounded. She could not believe someone dared treat Zhong Liting this way. And this was at the Zhong family''s home! Chapter 191 Beautiful, Im Coming! Half an hour later, Lin Tianyi emerged from the room with a smile on his face, followed by an annoyed Zhong Liting and Xiaoya!Lin Tian didn''t really do anything; he just touched her a little! But the two girls were still frightened by Lin Tian, knowing that he really dared to do anything! Even Zhong Liting was somewhat afraid of Lin Tian! Unconsciously, the days went by! Suddenly, a week had passed! During this week, Lin Tian thought there would be some battles, but to his surprise, there were none - everything went smoothly! A week later, Zhong Guo called: "Master Lin, you''ve been working hard these days, and the trouble has been resolved!" "So my task is completed, right?" Lin Tian asked lazily! "Yes, it''s completed. You''ll get ten million for this mission! The money has been transferred to your card!" Although Lin Tian did nothing that week, Zhong Guo''s attitude was still very respectful! Ding! As Zhong Guo confirmed the task completion, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Task: Fulfill Zhong Guo''s wish and protect Zhong Liting. Reward for task completion: six drops of Supernatural Points!" Along with the synthesized voice, six golden droplets shaped like Supernatural Points slowly appeared in the Sea of Consciousness! "With these six drops of Supernatural Points, plus the previous eight, I can completely create a new superpower and even have ten drops left over!" Lin Tian seemed a bit excited, a hint of a smile forming on his lips! "Humph!" Just as Lin Tian was immersed in the joy of acquiring the Supernatural Points, a cold snort rang out! Lin Tian turned his head and saw that it was Zhong Liting! Zhong Liting had her arms crossed and looked disdainfully at Lin Tian, saying, "You have a sleazy look on your face; who knows what you''re thinking!" A slight smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face as he took a big step forward, approaching Zhong Liting! Seeing Lin Tian approach, Zhong Liting panicked and hastily took a step back, looking at Lin Tian with a wary expression: "What do you want to do!" "Nothing much!" Lin Tian replied with a hint of a teasing smile, gazing at Zhong Liting''s pretty little face, "A week has passed, and I''m leaving now, don''t miss me too much!" "Get lost!" Zhong Liting yelled angrily, fuming! With a slight smile, Lin Tian glanced at Zhong Liting''s tempting red lips, took a quick step forward, bent down, and kissed her! "Mmm~!" Zhong Liting''s eyes widened! She was stunned! After kissing for a good five or six seconds, Lin Tian let go, blew her a flying kiss, and said cheerfully, "Beauty, I''m off, come find me when you''re free to hang out!" Having said that, Lin Tian quickly left! Only after Lin Tian''s figure had disappeared did Zhong Liting come to her senses. With her face flushed with rage and embarrassment, she stomped her foot hard: "Dammit! Don''t let me see you again!" ** Upon leaving the Zhong family, Lin Tian immediately hailed a taxi, intending to go find He Qianqian at school! Sitting in the taxi, Lin Tian thought about the promise he made with the two girls: "Hehe, Qianqian did say that if I really pulled it off, she would agree to take care of me along with Bu Mengting!" Thinking of He Qianqian''s shocked expression, and imagining both girls doing that together, Lin Tian felt a little thrill of excitement and couldn''t help but chuckle slyly to himself. The taxi driver, glancing through the rearview mirror, noticed Lin Tian sitting in the back and chuckling to himself with a lewd smile and occasionally wiping drool from his mouth, couldn''t help but feel speechless. Lin Tian didn''t notice the driver''s strange look, and even if he had, he wouldn''t have cared. He was immersed in his wonderful daydreams at that moment. Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Lin Tian immersed his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. As his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian looked up at the sky above this mental space. He saw droplets of golden Supernatural Points floating in the white expanse of the Sea of Consciousness. The golden Supernatural Points floated beautifully in the air. Glancing over these points, Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, then with a thought, he summoned the superpower menu. Looking at the superpower menu, Lin Tian declared loudly: "System, I want to create a new superpower, the ability of which is to grant eternal youth to a person!" After he finished speaking, Lin Tian focused his intention, and immediately information flowed from his body into the superpower system menu. Upon receiving the information emitted by Lin Tian''s body, the superpower system menu started to flicker with a red light. As the red light on the Supernatural Ability System flickered for a while, an electronic synthesized voice announced, "Information absorption complete, beginning superpower creation!" With this voice, Lin Tian noticed that the Supernatural Points floating in the sky began to tremble slightly. Subsequently, ten golden Supernatural Points began to detach from their original positions, slowly drifting toward the superpower menu. "Just like a drop of water, the golden Supernatural Points slowly submerged into the Supernatural Ability menu." With droplet after droplet of golden Supernatural Points disappearing into the Supernatural Ability menu, the blinking red light on it became more dazzling, and the frequency also increased. Lin Tian''s gaze was firmly fixed on the blank space of the Supernatural Ability menu. Under Lin Tian''s watchful eye, blurry black characters began to emerge slowly in that blank space. As the red light on the Supernatural Ability menu flickered more fiercely, the blurry black characters became clearer and clearer. "Buzz~!" Soon after, the Supernatural Ability menu emitted a dazzling burst of light. Lin Tian squinted his eyes slightly, and once the dazzling red light faded, he quickly looked at the black characters. By then, the characters had become crystal clear. A quick glance, and the information leaped into his sight! Level 1 Anti-aging Water: After exchanging for Anti-aging Water, one can maintain their appearance unchanged for ten years. (Note: This appearance refers to the user''s youngest and most beautiful state. Additionally, the same person can only use Level 1 Anti-aging Water five times.) Also, Anti-aging Water has mild beautification and healing effects. After scanning the information, even though the effects of Anti-aging Water were not very potent, Lin Tian was not disappointed. Lin Tian had been psychologically prepared. After all, this was just a Level 1 superpower. Such effects were quite normal. If the effects really granted eternal youth, Lin Tian would have been surprised. "Not bad for a Level 1 superpower. When I have more Supernatural Points later on, I will upgrade this superpower to truly grant eternal youth one day!" After glancing at the superpower, Lin Tian thought to himself. For his woman, upgrading this superpower to truly grant eternal youth was a must. "Alright, we''ve arrived!" While Lin Tian''s consciousness was immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, suddenly a voice came from beside his ear. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian withdrew his consciousness. Lin Tian paid the fare and got out of the car! A few minutes later, with his hands clasped behind his back, Lin Tian strolled leisurely through the campus! Lin Tian looked around, left and right¡ªafter all, this was his old school, where he had spent three years. Coming back now gave him a somewhat different feeling. "Ring ring..." While Lin Tian meandered, the bell signaling the end of class rang out. Soon after the bell rang, the previously quiet campus burst into activity. Lin Tian then saw many figures rushing out from the teaching buildings. "Classes are over, huh!" Turning his head with a scan, Lin Tian smiled faintly. Seeing these people, Lin Tian vaguely saw a shadow of his past self. "Hmm?" Just as Lin Tian was ready to avert his gaze, suddenly, he paused. A beauty! Such a beauty! "Could she be a new teacher?" Staring at the girl, Lin Tian wondered to himself. The reason he speculated she was a teacher was that she didn''t look like a student at a glance. Her full figure and mature attire were clearly not that of a student. "But why is she wearing a mask?" Staring at the girl, Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled. The girl was very pretty, yet she wore a mask. From the half of her face that was exposed, Lin Tian concluded she was a beauty. Those long willow-leaf eyebrows, large eyes, delicate nose, and her exquisite facial structure all pointed to her being a beauty. "Wearing a mask?" Slightly puzzled, Lin Tian gave the girl another look, considering whether to use his clairvoyant ability to glimpse her true appearance when suddenly he was taken aback. "Lin Tian!" A rather unexpected voice sounded from behind Lin Tian. It was familiar to his ears. After a moment of surprise, Lin Tian turned around. "Lin Tian, it really is you!" Seeing Lin Tian turn around and confirming his identity, Wang Chenchen then exclaimed with a mix of surprise and delight. "Ah? Chenchen!" Lin Tian looked at Wang Chenchen somewhat astonished. Lin Tian did not expect such a coincidence to encounter an old classmate from senior year of high school. Wang Chenchen was one of Lin Tian''s classmates during that time. However, she didn''t make it to a university, so she chose to retake the exams. What Lin Tian didn''t expect was to encounter her by such a happenstance. "What are you doing here?" Upon seeing Lin Tian, Wang Chenchen asked with some surprise. "Nothing much, just came to see some old classmates!" Lin Tian said with an awkward smile. "Really? Come on, let''s go have some late-night food, and we''ll call Laogang and the others too!" Wang Chenchen laughed heartily and then pulled Lin Tian towards the boys'' dormitory. "Er..." Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant, as the other party was too enthusiastic, and it would have been rude for him to refuse. Despite his unwillingness, he still went along. Half an hour later, Lin Tian finally got rid of those former classmates. "Damn! So enthusiastic!" Lin Tian expressed his speechlessness. After getting away from his former classmates, he ran to a deserted place, concentrated with an idea, and became invisible in an instant. Once invisible, Lin Tian then stepped out. Afterwards, Lin Tian sauntered out boldly. Arriving in front of He Qianqian''s dorm room door, Lin Tian focused his mind and used his clairvoyant ability in an instant. As Lin Tian employed his clairvoyant ability, the wooden door in front of him slowly vanished, and he then saw He Qianqian, who was sitting at her desk, seriously grading assignments. At that moment, He Qianqian was very focused, giving off a gentle and tranquil aura. After a glance at He Qianqian, Lin Tian chuckled and then took out a key from his pocket and turned it. "Click!" Accompanied by the sound of the door unlocking, Lin Tian walked inside. "Bang!" As soon as he entered, Lin Tian immediately closed the door behind him. "Huh?" Hearing the sound of the door, He Qianqian looked around, puzzled. She then noticed that the door was firmly shut and had not been opened at all. With bewilderment in her eyes and assuming the sound came from outside, He Qianqian didn''t think much of it. She turned her head and continued to grade the assignments with dedication.

Noticing Lin Tian''s moves, Li Nian snorted a laugh and said dismissively,"What''s so special? I''ve seen plenty of men. You''re no different. Want me to teach you a lesson?" After speaking, Li Nian''s gaze shifted to He Qianqian on the bed, a smile on her face. At that moment, He Qianqian couldn''t help but shiver slightly. "Come on, let me see your darling!" Glancing at He Qianqian again, Li Nian''s eyes twinkled as she deliberately said loudly. Hearing this, He Qianqian couldn''t hold back any longer, she threw off the quilt, sprang up, and said to Li Nian, "Cousin, have you had enough of your jokes?" "Oh? Finally got up? And now you''re snapping at me? I haven''t even mentioned you hiding a man! And to think there are three of you, who would have guessed!" Li Nian pouted. Hearing this, He Qianqian''s face turned bright red from embarrassment, not knowing what to say. Embarrassing! She felt utterly embarrassed. After a pause, He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, who was still foolishly standing there, and scolded, "What are you still standing there for? Go put on some clothes!" "Oh!" Pouting, Lin Tian bent down and picked up the clothes from the floor. "Go to the bathroom!" He Qianqian said helplessly. Lin Tian didn''t know what to say and obediently ran to the bathroom. Upon reaching the bathroom, he immediately smelled a faint fragrance. It was the fragrance lingering from Li Nian. Closing the bathroom door, Lin Tian began to dress. While dressing, he could faintly hear the two girls talking. "Qianqian, I didn''t expect you to secretly keep a piece of fresh meat to yourself. Maybe you should let your sister have a taste!" "Go away! What are you even saying!" "I''m not saying anything, why the blush! Aren''t there three of you? Adding me makes four, right? Hehe!" Li Nian''s teasing voice came from outside. "Stop talking nonsense, go away!" He Qianqian sounded both impatient and shy. ... Listening to the two girls talking, Lin Tian finished dressing but didn''t rush out. Instead, he approached the mirror. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, Lin Tian took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. Taking a deep breath, he looked at his reflection and chastised himself, "Lin Tian, oh Lin Tian, how could you lose your nerve just now! No, you can''t let a woman toy with you like that!" By this time, Lin Tian had come to terms with his dissatisfaction over how easily Li Nian had teased him without any resistance. How could he, a man with two women, appear so novice in front of another woman? This should not be! It was completely unacceptable! "Hmm, if she dares come over again, I''ll show her what I''m made of!" Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian murmured to himself. Lin Tian decided that if Li Nian dared to tease him again, he would play along; surely he wasn''t afraid of being at a disadvantage. Taking a deep breath and adjusting his spirits, Lin Tian opened the bathroom door and walked out. "Click!" With the sound of the door, Lin Tian opened the bathroom door. Lin Tian paused, took a deep breath, and then stepped out. Seeing Lin Tian come out, both He Qianqian and Li Nian, who had been talking, stopped and turned to look at him. Eyeing Lin Tian, Li Nian sized him up and said with a hint of disdain, "Kid, you don''t look like much, but your skills in charming women aren''t bad!" "Of course, who do you think I am!" Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, slightly dismissive. "Yo?" Eyeing him up and down with a hint of surprise, Li Nian looked taken aback. Lin Tian''s demeanor was vastly different from before. Just now, Lin Tian seemed like a novice who had never dealt with people, yet now he was acting like an old slick. Looking at Lin Tian somewhat astounded, Li Nian then teased: "Who are you trying to impress with that ''I''m the coolest dad around'' attitude? What can you actually do?" Li Nian''s words carried a hint of disdain. "I''ve got plenty of skills, do you want to try me?" Hearing this, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, glanced Lin Tian up and down, with his gaze lingering pointedly on her *****. That blatant stare spoke volumes. "Um..." Naturally, Li Nian understood what Lin Tian''s burning gaze implied. She couldn''t believe Lin Tian would dare to be so direct. Stunned for a moment, Li Nian frowned slightly and said contemptuously, "Didn''t you just say something about ''youth forever''? Come on, show me." "And then?" Lin Tian looked at her with a smile. He had been waiting for her to say this for a long time. "What do you mean, ''and then''?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a face full of astonishment. "What do you think? What did you just say earlier, about what you would do if I managed it?" Lin Tian grinned at her. Hearing this, Li Nian was startled. She suddenly remembered what she had said before. She had said that if Lin Tian really could do it, she would personally take care of him along with three others, including herself. Stunned for a moment, Li Nian scoffed and replied without thinking, "Sure, if you really can do it, how would I mind serving you?" "No regrets?" Lin Tian looked at her with twinkling eyes, full of mirth. "Of course not!" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian disapprovingly, her face expressing disdain: "Don''t speak too soon, try doing it first." Li Nian didn''t believe Lin Tian had the capability. Forever young? Fat chance! "Very well!" Hearing Li Nian''s words, Lin Tian nodded slightly, looking at her meaningfully, "I will make sure your wish is granted." S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lin Tian!" Just as Lin Tian was thinking about how to make Li Nian obediently keep her promise, suddenly a furious voice came from beside Lin Tian. "Um..." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was startled and turned his head awkwardly towards He Qianqian. Done for, he had gotten too caught up and completely forgotten about He Qianqian. Glaring at Lin Tian, He Qianqian shouted angrily: Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire "Can''t you be more reserved, always going on about women!" Having said that, He Qianqian then turned to Li Nian, expressing her dissatisfaction, "Cousin, stop causing trouble. I''ll handle this." "I''m not causing any trouble! This guy claims he can keep people forever young, so let him prove it. Start with me!" Li Nian said nonchalantly. As she spoke, Li Nian turned to Lin Tian, "Come on, show me what you can do." After speaking, Li Nian raised her hand, preparing to take off her mask. "Cousin you¡­" Seeing Li Nian''s action, He Qianqian was alarmed. Noticing Li Nian''s movements, Lin Tian was also curious. He had always been curious why Li Nian wore a mask, and although Lin Tian had clairvoyance, he hadn''t had the time to find out why. Now seeing Li Nian actively removing her mask, Lin Tian immediately watched curiously. Under Lin Tian''s gaze, Li Nian slowly took off her mask. As Lin Tian had imagined, she was perfect. Immediately, an exquisitely beautiful face appeared! The mask continued to move downward! However, when Li Nian fully took off the mask, Lin Tian was taken aback. Utterly astonished! Chapter 194 Seductive! "Uh..." Lin Tian stared dully at Li Nian''s chin, his face full of astonishment.Li Nian''s face was very perfect, although not as pure as He Qianqian''s, but she had a charm that He Qianqian did not possess. However, this perfect face had a flaw on her chin, a mark like a burn scar on Li Nian''s chin. Noticing Lin Tian''s astonished face, Li Nian gave a bitter smile, stretching out her fair hand to gently caress her chin. After a moment of silence, Li Nian looked up at Lin Tian with a smile and said, "What do you think? Aren''t you the one who can preserve youth forever? Can you do anything about my face?" "..." Lin Tian stared back at Li Nian, still somewhat in disbelief. He really couldn''t fathom how such a flaw could mar this otherwise perfect face. He Qianqian seemed somewhat saddened as she said to Li Nian, "Alright, cousin, put the mask back on." "What''s the point of covering it now? You''ve all seen it already!" Li Nian seemed somewhat indifferent. Despite saying so, both He Qianqian and Lin Tian could see a hint of irritation in Li Nian''s heart. Touching her chin again, Li Nian fell silent for a while before shaking her head and finally putting the mask back on. After she put the mask back on, Li Nian looked up at Lin Tian and said discontentedly, "Kid, don''t talk big if you can''t deliver in the future!" By now, Lin Tian had recovered from his surprise, glanced at her mask and replied calmly, "Who says I can''t do it." "You''re guessing now, that I just can''t..." Li Nian paused halfway through her sentence, went silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Tian with astonishment and asked, "What did you say?" Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire "I said I can do it!" Lin Tian replied, his face calm. "Stop kidding around!" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian with some dissatisfaction, not liking the idea of him joking about Li Nian''s wound. "I said I can do it! Really!" Seeing that neither of them believed him, Lin Tian emphasized again to explain. "Really?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled face. "Really!" Lin Tian affirmed with a nod. Hearing Lin Tian''s affirmative response, Li Nian was stunned. After a pause, Li Nian laughed and said, "Don''t tell me you want me to do some kind of surgery, I''ve already had surgery." "No need for such trouble!" Lin Tian chuckled lightly, his face confident, "My method is very simple!" "Hmm?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a puzzled face. After giving her a glance, Lin Tian said with a giggle, "It''s no problem at all to heal your wound, just a matter of minutes." "Stop joking!" Li Nian said, disbelieving. Seeing that she didn''t believe him, Lin Tian didn''t say more and turned around to pour a glass of water. As he poured the water, with his back turned to them, Lin Tian had a thought. Following Lin Tian''s intent, a bottle of first-class Anti-aging Water was exchanged. With the Anti-aging Water in hand, he gently pried off the lid with his thumb and poured the contents of the bottle into the water. After the Anti-aging Water was completely mixed into the cup, Lin Tian turned around, holding the cup. The time it took to exchange the Anti-aging Water and put it into the cup was very short! In the eyes of Li Nian and He Qianqian, Lin Tian just normally poured a glass of water. Lin Tian came to Li Nian with a glass of water, holding it out and said with a grin, "Here, drink this and you''ll be cured!" Li Nian looked down at the water in Lin Tian''s cup and then back up at him, staring straight at Lin Tian, "Are you teasing me?" What is this supposed to be? Just a glass of perfectly normal boiled water, nothing out of the ordinary. Drink this and be healed? Do you think I''m a three-year-old child? Li Nian was quite disdainful. Noticing the disdain in Li Nian''s eyes, Lin Tian didn''t mind, smiling as he said, "I know you don''t believe it, but if you don''t believe it, why not give it a try? It''s not like I can poison you! If I''m lying, you can do whatever you want with me!" Li Nian''s gaze was locked tightly on Lin Tian, seeing that he was completely serious. Hesitating for a moment, Li Nian reached out and took the cup of water from Lin Tian''s hand. Holding a cup in her hand, Li Nian stared straight at Lin Tian: "You said if you can''t do it, you''ll listen to me, and I don''t ask for much, just one favor." "Okay!" Lin Tian nodded directly, looking at her indifferently, "Just don''t forget what you said." "Heh..." With a light chuckle, Li Nian gently pulled down her mask to reveal her small and rosy lips. Revealing her lips, Li Nian drank all the water from the cup in her hand. "Huh!" Li Nian let out a breath after downing the water in the cup and then handed it to Lin Tian with a smile, "All gone, it''s no different from ordinary water!" "Big difference!" Lin Tian said with a smile. "How so? It can''t possibly give me a whole new look!" Li Nian scoffed disdainfully and reached up to remove the mask from her face! While scoffing, Li Nian reached toward the scar on her face where the wound was. As her hand touched, Li Nian once again felt the familiar wound, the familiar unevenness. Feeling the touch in her hand, Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with dissatisfaction, "So what? Is this the change you mentioned? Can you be any more fake?" Lin Tian glanced at her chin and said nothing. He knew it was just that the Anti-aging Water hadn''t taken effect yet. When Li Nian took off her mask just now, He Qianqian was also staring at her nervously. Despite not quite believing that Lin Tian could really improve Li Nian''s wound, after getting to know him, Lin Tian had already accomplished many impossible things! So when Li Nian took off her mask, He Qianqian still held some expectation. Hope that a miracle would really happen. But seeing the way Li Nian took off her mask, disappointment flashed across He Qianqian''s face! "Sigh~!" He Qianqian sighed softly. How could she have really expected it to be possible? It was completely impossible. "Maybe I trust Lin Tian too much," He Qianqian thought to herself. Thinking this, He Qianqian''s gaze swept over Li Nian''s face again. This sweep by He Qianqian seemed very casual, just a quick glance! But as soon as her gaze shifted away, He Qianqian suddenly paused, and then quickly turned her head back, eyes wide, staring at Li Nian''s chin. "What the..." Staring at Li Nian''s chin, He Qianqian''s eyes widened in shock. "What?" Noticing He Qianqian''s reaction, Li Nian turned her head in confusion, then saw He Qianqian''s surprised expression. He Qianqian''s gaze was fixed tightly on her own chin! "What''s wrong?" Li Nian touched her chin with a puzzled face. With one touch, Li Nian''s eyes instantly widened. Smooth! Incredibly smooth to the touch! There was no longer the familiar feeling of pits and bumps, nor the wrinkled sensation. "This, this..." Li Nian was shocked. Startled for a moment, thinking of something, Li Nian quickly turned and rushed towards the bathroom. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Due to her speed, Li Nian almost fell. "Phew!" Arriving at the bathroom in quick strides, Li Nian hurried in. Standing before the bathroom mirror, Li Nian stared wide-eyed at the girl in the reflection. "This, this..." Staring at her chin, smooth as jade, Li Nian was shocked, unbelieving. As Li Nian ran into the bathroom, Lin Tian and He Qianqian followed. Standing outside the bathroom door, Lin Tian glanced at Li Nian''s shocked expression and said with a grin, "How is it?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Nian came to her senses, looking at Lin Tian in disbelief, "Is this for real?" "What do you think?" Lin Tian looked at her with a teasing smile. It was undeniable, with her chin healed, Li Nian presented a strikingly different impression. Chapter 195 Handsome Young Man, Pretty Please! 195Gazing at Li Nian''s seductive little face, Lin Tian was very tempted. It must be said, Li Nian really did give off that vixen vibe. Li Nian, stunned, touched her own chin, then turned to look in the mirror. It was true! All of this was real. "How, how is this possible?" Her hands constantly touching her chin, Li Nian looked unbelievingly at Lin Tian. Beside her, He Qianqian also wore a face full of surprise. Although somewhat expectant that Lin Tian could create another miracle, He Qianqian did not actually hold much hope in her heart! But what she never expected was that Lin Tian had actually managed to heal her cousin''s chin. Seeing the disbelief on the seductive face, Lin Tian swallowed, and teased, "How about that? Do you believe me now? Remember what you said?" Speaking to this point, Lin Tian paused, his gaze measuring Li Nian up and down with deep meaning, focusing particularly on Li Nian''s ample chest. Seeing Lin Tian''s lecherous look, Li Nian was taken aback. After a pause, Li Nian chuckled playfully, twisting her waist and walking towards Lin Tian with a flirty smile. Arriving in front of Lin Tian, Li Nian extended her slender fingers to gently hook Lin Tian''s chin, leaned her body slightly forward, and stared at him with a smile, "Four people, huh? I''m fine with it, but you should ask Qianqian!" Saying this, Li Nian playfully blinked, her rosy little mouth blowing a breath onto Lin Tian''s face. As Li Nian exhaled, Lin Tian''s nose caught a fragrant scent assailing his senses! A light, fresh fragrance. Looking at Li Nian''s tempting red lips and her seductive face full of allure, Lin Tian subconsciously swallowed. Damn! This little fairy! Lin Tian cursed inwardly, feeling his cheeks burning hot! Lin Tian still found Li Nian''s boldness a bit too much to handle. Catching a glimpse of Lin Tian''s slightly flushed face, Li Nian chuckled, her hand gently holding Lin Tian''s chin, her fingers slowly tracing across his cheek, teasingly said, "Oh? Blushing now?" Having said that, Li Nian turned to look at He Qianqian, winked, and giggled, "Your little man is quite cute, but a bit too pervy!" At that moment, an angry look crossed He Qianqian''s face as she fiercely pinched the soft area at Lin Tian''s waist. "Ah..." Lin Tian opened his mouth, wanting to yell, but dared not make a sound. "Haha..." Seeing Lin Tian''s pained expression, Li Nian laughed loudly, looking very pleased with herself. "Hmph!" Seeing Li Nian''s pleased look, Lin Tian muttered inwardly, "Just wait, someday I''ll have my way with you!" It could only be said that Li Nian gave men that kind of overpowering desire to conquer. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, guessing what he was thinking, Li Nian giggled, winked at Lin Tian, and teased, Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire "What? Still thinking of making a move on me?" Having said that, Li Nian turned to look at He Qianqian and tattled, "Your man doesn''t seem very trustworthy!" "Lin Tian!" He Qianqian was truly angered. Furiously pinching the soft area at Lin Tian''s waist. This damn fool! Having her and Mengting wasn''t enough! He was still thinking about her cousin! Thinking about having three people serving him! That was too much! Lin Tian dared not resist, letting He Qianqian twist his waist, feeling waves of pain. "Ah~! I dare not anymore!" Lin Tian yelled in pain. This expression of pain was half real, half feigned. If she didn''t feign extra pain, wouldn''t that be courting death for herself? "Do you dare think about other women now!" He Qianqian held on to Lin Tian''s waist without letting go, said fiercely. "I don''t dare! I won''t dare anymore!" Lin Tian begged with a pained expression! "Really!" He Qianqian said, disbelieving. "Of course it''s true, I swear!" Lin Tian hurriedly assured. Seeing that Lin Tian''s attitude was acceptable, He Qianqian didn''t plan to say much more, snorted coldly, and let go of Lin Tian. Smiling mischievously while watching the two, Li Nian found it strange only after He Qianqian released Lin Tian: "What exactly is going on here?" sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What do you mean what''s going on?" Lin Tian, while rubbing the spot where He Qianqian had pinched him, asked with an annoyed face. "Here!" Li Nian touched her smooth little chin. "Don''t know!" Lin Tian glanced at her coldly. The squeezing by He Qianqian had also been partly Li Nian''s doing. "Tell me, oh, tell me and I''ll give you a kiss!" Seeing that Lin Tian remained silent, Li Nian''s beautiful eyes twinkled, then she looked at Lin Tian and laughingly said . "Really!" Lin Tian said with a hint of joy. "Lin Tian!" A voice filled with anger called out. Whoosh! A dark shadow came flying! "Smack!" Lin Tian felt his head being hit hard by a book. "Uh¡­" Lin Tian looked up only to see He Qianqian holding a biology textbook, looking at him fiercely. "Uh¡­" Lin Tian smiled awkwardly: "Just kidding, just kidding!" After saying that, Lin Tian acted foolishly and rubbed his own head. "Hmph!" He Qianqian snorted coldly, looking displeased. Lin Tian wore an awkward expression, not knowing what to say. At the same time, Lin Tian also wondered why he couldn''t control himself around Li Nian. Could it be that he really was a creature driven by his lower half? Lin Tian felt depressed. Seeing Lin Tian suffer once again, Li Nian giggled, looking somewhat triumphant: "Now you can talk, right?" "Talk about what? I don''t know!" Lin Tian said with an annoyed face. "Stingy! Really won''t tell?" Li Nian said with a teasing smile. "Whatever!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes at her and walked out of the bathroom into the room, sitting down at the edge of the bed. Seeing Lin Tian walk away, He Qianqian and Li Nian also followed. After glancing over the two, Lin Tian finally let his gaze rest on Li Nian''s face, smiling: "Your change was caused by my ''Potion of Eternal Youth'' of course!" Eternal Youth? Upon hearing this, Li Nian was stunned and then remembered something Lin Tian had mentioned before. The initial reason for Lin Tian mentioning eternal youth had resulted in her chin scar healing. Could it be, could it really be that Lin Tian could grant eternal youth? Shock! Upon thinking this, both Li Nian and He Qianqian felt a mix of shock and joy. Never underestimate a woman''s concern for her appearance, some women would even pay a price men can hardly imagine just for their looks . If there really was a way to attain eternal youth, it could drive most women crazy. The two girls were momentarily stunned. After the moment''s hesitation, all that was left in their hearts was surprise and happiness! If someone else told the two girls this, they certainly would think that person was insane! But the previous instance of Lin Tian miraculously healing Li Nian''s chin compelled the two girls to start believing in Lin Tian. After a moment of hesitation, Li Nian was the first to react, sitting down next to Lin Tian, grabbing his arms and swaying them coquettishly: "Handsome boy! Can you really grant eternal youth?" Chapter 196 You Are All Mine! "What do you think?" Lin Tian''s gaze reluctantly moved away from the pristine white above, as he raised his head and spoke with feigned arrogance!Lin Tian knew that now was the time to play hard to get. Things that came too easily were never valued. "Really?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a face full of surprise. "Of course it''s true!" Lin Tian said indifferently! "Then quickly give your sister some anti-aging water, will you!" As she spoke, Li Nian puckered her small mouth and blew a kiss to Lin Tian! Giggling as she looked at Lin Tian, her little face full of eagerness! Lin Tian turned his head, looked her up and down, and shook his index finger, gently saying, "NO!" "Why not!" Li Nian said, clearly annoyed. "Humph!" Lin Tian snorted coldly and turned his head away, ignoring her. This item couldn''t be given away without some benefit for him. Inside, Lin Tian was still thinking about how to get her into bed. Seeing that Lin Tian was ignoring her, Li Nian''s eyes flickered, then she grabbed Lin Tian''s arm and moved closer to him! As Li Nian moved, her ample breasts pressed against Lin Tian''s arm. With her body pressed tightly against Lin Tian, Li Nian laughed playfully, "At most, I''ll take a loss, and the four of us will take care of you!" "Gulp!" Lin Tian couldn''t help but swallow his saliva. As Li Nian moved closer, a faint scent of woman drifted into his nostrils, and at the same time, his right arm felt a softness, and instantly, Lin Tian was intoxicated. He was on fire! Lin Tian felt as if he were ablaze. Tensed up, Lin Tian suddenly felt a tingling sensation down below. Uh... Lin Tian looked down at himself, his face speechless! Damn, bro, you''re really letting the team down, getting excited so soon? "Snap!" While Lin Tian was looking down at his crotch, he suddenly felt a hard slap on his head. Lin Tian looked up in astonishment to see He Qianqian looking at him with a frosty expression. "Uh..." Lin Tian said, embarrassed. After giving Lin Tian a fierce glare, He Qianqian then turned to Li Nian and complained: "Cousin, can you please stop causing trouble not." "Alright, alright, OK!" Seeing that He Qianqian was displeased, Li Nian giggled and stood up. Seeing Li Nian letting go of Lin Tian, He Qianqian, holding a biology textbook, glared at Lin Tian and demanded, "Spill it, what exactly is going on!" "And you hit me, I won''t tell!" Seeing He Qianqian''s fierce look, Lin Tian muttered softly, lowering his head slightly. "What did you say?" He Qianqian glared at Lin Tian. "Nothing?" Lin Tian said with an awkward smile. He didn''t dare talk back, especially since he did feel he''d gone a bit too far. "Speak up!" He Qianqian glared at Lin Tian, dissatisfied. The news of eternal youth had excited her, but Lin Tian''s unreformable lustfulness truly infuriated her. Seeing that He Qianqian was really getting angry, Lin Tian had no choice but to speak honestly, "Didn''t I say before that I could make a woman''s youth last forever? Now I can!" "Really?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, astonished. "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded repeatedly. "How did you manage it?" After a pause, He Qianqian asked curiously. "Well..." Lin Tian grinned, stood up, tossed his hair, and said somewhat coolly, "Naturally, because your husband here is awesome!" "Uh..." Watching Lin Tian show off, the two girls stared, dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian, speechless, "Lin Tian, you really shouldn''t try to be funny not!" While Li Nian giggled as she looked at Lin Tian, then turned to He Qianqian, "He''s quite humorous!" Hearing the comments from the two girls, Lin Tian was speechless. Doesn''t anyone notice my handsome look? That''s not the point! Lin Tian was truly speechless! Frustrated for a moment, Lin Tian could only look at He Qianqian helplessly and say: "You know, I have some special abilities, that''s how I managed it." "Special abilities?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian strangely. Enjoy new adventures from My Virtual Library Empire Seeing Li Nian''s puzzled expression, Lin Tian explained, "You could think of it as magic or a genius''s abilities!" So far, Lin Tian hadn''t discovered any other superpowered individuals, which made him feel somewhat relieved! Telling others about his superpowers wasn''t really a big deal! As long as it doesn''t become common knowledge! Moreover, superpowers were not the most important secret for Lin Tian; his most important secret was the Superpower Watch from the future! This secret Lin Tian planned to tell no one! "Is it superpower?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Nian''s eyes widened, curious. "It''s some special abilities! You could say it''s a superpower!" Lin Tian explained. "What kind of abilities?" Li Nian asked, eyes wide with curiosity. "Like, being a bit stronger and stuff!" Lin Tian didn''t elaborate, not wanting to waste words. "Can you perform it?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a curious expression on her face. "Didn''t I just perform?" Lin Tian chuckled. "That wasn''t a performance, you..." Speaking thus, Li Nian suddenly paused. She subconsciously touched her chin. Stroking her smooth chin, Li Nian looked at Lin Tian in astonishment, "Is this your ability?" Smiling broadly at her, Lin Tian didn''t say a word. "Can you make people stay young forever?" Upon hearing this, He Qianqian also couldn''t contain herself. "Yes, but my ability isn''t there yet. Right now, I can only maintain a youthful appearance for several decades, but in the future, it will certainly be even more incredible!" Lin Tian didn''t promise too much. "Really?" Li Nian stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes. Lin Tian rolled his eyes at her, and, feeling too lazy to reply, thought, ''Isn''t that obvious!'' Seeing that Lin Tian was ignoring her, Li Nian snickered, moved closer, took his hands, and shook Lin Tian''s arm coquettishly, saying, "Come on, just try it for big sister!" As Li Nian shook his arm, Lin Tian felt his arm brush against something soft from time to time. Truly... what a joy! "How is it?" Seeing Lin Tian''s blissful expression, Li Nian giggled and then moved closer, whispering, "I''ll give you some perks too!" "Perks? What perks?" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian''s imagination started running wild. "What are you guys doing!" Seeing the two looking as if they were up to no good, He Qianqian couldn''t help but get annoyed. "Uh..." Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian with an embarrassed expression. Meanwhile, he inwardly lamented, ''Why does He Qianqian have to be here now? If she weren''t here, Lin Tian would have taken care of Li Nian long ago.'' Despite feeling peeved, Lin Tian dared not say a word. Seeing Lin Tian becoming a bit more subdued, He Qianqian snorted coldly, "So what are you getting at now? Can one stay eternally young in Qing Village?" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, but then quickly caught on and looked at He Qianqian seriously, "Didn''t you say before that as long as I can make you stay young forever, you would agree to be with Mengting? Now, I''ve achieved it! So from now on, both you and Mengting are my wives!" "What are you talking about, you just said you can only maintain it for several decades! That''s still a long way off!" He Qianqian was stunned for a second, and then argued back. "..." Lin Tian was speechless. Staring at He Qianqian, he said forcefully, "How many decades does a person have in life? Besides, my ability will improve. Anyway, I don''t care, I take it as you agreed!" "Why are you like this!" He Qianqian complained. "I am like this! Hmph, if you''re upset, I''ll take care of you right now. You decide!" Lin Tian glared at He Qianqian coldly. Sometimes a man needs to be firm when it''s time to be firm. He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian speechlessly, knowing Lin Tian well enough to realize he might actually do what he said. She even might have preferred it that way, judging from the way he was ogling her cousin. Lin Tian would probably take advantage of Li Nian too. And if it really did happen, Lin Tian would most likely act on it. Looking at Lin Tian with a speechless expression, He Qianqian could only fall silent. Seeing He Qianqian fall silent, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and pressed, "How about it? I guess I''ve met the condition, right?" He Qianqian rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and turned her head away, ignoring him. "Don''t push me!" Seeing that He Qianqian was ignoring him, Lin Tian slowly walked over. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, He Qianqian, feeling speechless, could only look at him resignedly, "Alright, alright, you win, okay!" "So that means the condition is met, you agree to be with Mengting and me together? You''re both my wives now?" Lin Tian''s tense expression immediately turned into a snicker. Looking at Lin Tian speechlessly, He Qianqian wanted to disagree but feared that Lin Tian might act out, so she reluctantly nodded her head. Seeing He Qianqian nod, Lin Tian clapped his hands excitedly. Done deal! Though He Qianqian was not very willing, she had mostly come around. Over time, the three of them being together would naturally become a habit. "It seems that pushing a bit just now was the right move!" Lin Tian thought, somewhat smugly. The reason Lin Tian did this was because he understood He Qianqian, knowing she would forgive him even if he actually went ahead with his threats. It was because he understood that he dared to take this step. Otherwise, acting impulsively and forcing things would have been disastrous. "Ding!" Just as Lin Tian was pondering, suddenly a synthesized electronic voice sounded in his mind. Hearing this synthesized voice, Lin Tian looked surprised. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Slightly stunned, Lin Tian focused a small part of his attention on the Sea of Consciousness. As Lin Tian focused on the Sea of Consciousness, an electronic voice rang out in his mind: "Task: Fulfill He Qianqian''s wish, helping her stay young forever has been completed. Task reward: one Supernatural Point." "Completed?" Hearing this task notification, Lin Tian was stunned. Lin Tian never expected to get a task notification at this time. According to the information, he hadn''t completed the task. After all, it stated eternal youth, and his Anti-aging Water definitely didn''t qualify as true eternal youth. So what was going on? Was it because He Qianqian already believed it, or did she consider this as enough for eternal youth? Lin Tian pondered deeply. "What''s wrong?" Seeing Lin Tian spaced out, He Qianqian looked at him quizzically. "Ah? Nothing!" Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to reality. He waved his hand off! Chapter 197 Even though he said this, seeing He Qianqian still staring strangely at himself, Lin Tian chuckled foolishly:"Maybe it''s because I''ve gotten older, I tend to space out!" "Forget it, I can''t be bothered with you!" Sensing Lin Tian''s perfunctory response, He Qianqian rolled her eyes at him, then curiously asked Lin Tian: "Can you really make someone young? How do you do it?" He Qianqian''s pretty face showed some anticipation! Beautiful! To remain forever young is, perhaps, every woman''s wish. Seeing the slightly eager look in He Qianqian''s eyes, Lin Tian grinned. Lin Tian didn''t plan to get in any trouble. In He Qianqian''s expectant gaze, he turned to the table and picked up a kettle to pour some water. Seeing Lin Tian''s action, both girls guessed what Lin Tian was about to do and curiously followed up. They were all curious about how Lin Tian would make a cup of boiled water preserve youth forever. Lin Tian was indifferent to the girls'' staring and did not pause in his movements. As he poured water from the kettle into the cup, Lin Tian covered the mouth of the cup with his right hand, his thoughts shifting. As Lin Tian''s thoughts moved, a stream of Anti-Aging Water imperceptibly entered the cup. This time, Lin Tian directly exchanged Anti-Aging Water and did not exchange the outer glass bottle. The girls completely missed Lin Tian''s subtle movement. After adding the Anti-Aging Water, Lin Tian swirled the cup in his hand and handed it to He Qianqian with a smile: "Drink it." "Is that all?" He Qianqian took the cup with a curious face! The water in the cup was very clear, not different from ordinary water! And He Qianqian was certain, as she didn''t even blink just now, that it was just a cup of ordinary boiled water. After hesitating for a moment, He Qianqian curiously looked at Lin Tian, "Is that all?" "Exactly!" Lin Tian nodded with a smile: "After drinking this cup of water, you''ll revert to your most beautiful state and stay that way for ten years!" "Really?" Though mostly convinced, He Qianqian still reflexively questioned, looking at the water in the cup. "Of course, just try it and you''ll know!" Lin Tian explained cheerily. Looking at Lin Tian, He Qianqian closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and drank the water from the cup in one gulp. After drinking, He Qianqian didn''t immediately open her eyes, she savored the moment before finally opening them, then she turned to Li Nian, "Cousin, do you see any changes?" Li Nian''s gaze was intently fixed on He Qianqian, observing her face for a moment before hesitantly speaking: "It seems there''s no change." Hearing this, He Qianqian turned her gaze back to Lin Tian. Seeing He Qianqian''s puzzled expression, Lin Tian smiled without speaking, glanced at Li Nian, and chuckled, "Look again." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Nian turned her head once more and stared earnestly at He Qianqian''s face. After a moment, Li Nian uncertainly said, "Your face seems to have become more rosy, and your skin appears improved too." "Really?" Upon hearing Li Nian''s words, He Qianqian brightened and immediately rushed to the bathroom. Arriving in front of the bathroom mirror, He Qianqian leaned forward and closely examined her own cheeks. "It seems, it does look a bit more rosy?" After a long look, He Qianqian hesitantly said. He Qianqian indeed felt that her complexion seemed more rosy, giving off a subtle rosy shade. However, the change wasn''t very noticeable, so He Qianqian wasn''t quite sure. By this time, Lin Tian also followed her to the entrance of the bathroom, looking at He Qianqian he said with a smile: "Because your skin has always been good, the change isn''t very noticeable. If it were an old lady, it would be extremely obvious!" What Lin Tian said was the truth; the Anti-Aging Water only returned the person to their youngest and most beautiful state. Although He Qianqian was already 27, her skin was very good and she had no spots on her face, so the changes weren''t very noticeable. "Huh?" Suddenly, He Qianqian exclaimed in surprise. Seeming to notice changes, He Qianqian seriously looked at the corners of her mouth. Sear?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. He Qianqian remembered that she originally had a slight blemish, a red spot, at the corner of her mouth. And now the red spot had vanished. Did it really work? Feeling this scene, He Qianqian completely believed Lin Tian. While He Qianqian was looking in the mirror, Li Nian also stood at the bathroom door, looking at her own appearance through the bathroom mirror. Initially, her main focus was on her chin, but when she took a serious look, she found that her reflection seemed much younger than before. Touching her own face, Li Nian looked amazed. After hesitating for a while, Li Nian turned her head to look at Lin Tian, with a flash of eagerness in her eyes. Noticing Li Nian''s look, Lin Tian responded by blinking and grinning, seemingly hinting at something! Seeing the smile on Lin Tian''s face, Li Nian moved closer and cooed, "Hey, Lin Tian, can you get me another cup of that water?" "Water? There''s plenty of it, help yourself!" Lin Tian played dumb. "What are you saying? I want that one!" Li Nian said, somewhat annoyed. "Which one do you want? Don''t make me misunderstand!" Lin Tian teased her with a cheeky look. As he spoke, Lin Tian''s gaze roamed over Li Nian''s body, lingering on her full breasts! "You''re so lecherous despite being young! You''re asking for trouble!" Li Nian snapped angrily. "Oh? Want to hit me? Come on then!" Lin Tian chuckled. "What are you guys doing!" During Lin Tian''s playful banter, He Qianqian had finished checking herself and turned around. Seeing the two of them, He Qianqian sighed in resignation. Taking a deep breath, He Qianqian was quite annoyed! She had already made up her mind to keep the two apart. Her cousin was not a settled person by nature, and Lin Tian was insufferably lecherous. Leaving the two of them alone together would be like a spark meeting gunpowder, wouldn''t it? When He Qianqian spoke up, Li Nian looked up at He Qianqian with a pout, saying discontentedly, "Your boyfriend is too stingy, not letting me have another cup of water. So annoying!" "What? You think this is tap water? It was hard enough to make these two cups!" Lin Tian retorted discontentedly. "It''s not like you look tired!" Li Nian pouted unhappily. "My tiredness is not something you can understand!" Lin Tian shot back immediately. Lin Tian didn''t want to easily produce more Anti-aging Water, as it cost him Supernatural Points. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire ¡­ Time passed as the three of them chatted, with Lin Tian and Li Nian occasionally bickering. As time slowly passed, it was almost 10 PM. Lin Tian was also planning to head back soon. Initially, Lin Tian had hoped to get intimate with He Qianqian. But with Li Nian around, that definitely wasn''t happening. Pulling out his phone, he checked the time and discovered it was getting late! Lin Tian looked up at the two and said, "It''s getting late, I should head back now." "Why go back? Let''s sleep together!" As she spoke, Li Nian teasingly stuck out her tongue and circled it around her luscious lips, giving Lin Tian a seductive wink! Chapter 198 Kiss Me! Seeing Li Nian''s seductive look, Lin Tian swallowed hard and glanced at He Qianqian beside him with a wry smile."I don''t have a problem, but conditions don''t allow it!" "What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!" As soon as Lin Tian finished speaking, He Qianqian angrily smacked him on the head with a textbook. This heartless guy, does he really think about being served by both his cousin and me? S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Too much! "Uh¡­" Lin Tian touched his head, looking embarrassed. When Lin Tian had made that earlier comment, he had held a sliver of hope that He Qianqian would agree, but it seemed he had been daydreaming. With a helpless shrug, Lin Tian glanced at the two girls and stood up, saying, "Well, I''m off then!" "Off where? I''m getting hungry. Let''s go have some late-night snacks!" Seeing Lin Tian actually about to leave, Li Nian suddenly spoke up. Li Nian said this because, on one hand, she was indeed hungry, and on the other hand, she still wanted Lin Tian to make her another glass of that "Anti-aging Water." She was somewhat unwilling to just let him go like that. "Late-night snacks?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled. He wasn''t very hungry, but he thought a little outing wouldn''t hurt. With that thought, Lin Tian immediately said, "It''s all the same to me, we''ll have to see if He Qianqian is up for it." Seeing that both seemed tempted by the idea, He Qianqian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, let''s go, but we need to return early." He Qianqian had classes the next day and she usually followed a very regular routine, going to sleep at a set time if there was nothing else to do. "Okay, then let''s get going!" When He Qianqian agreed, Li Nian giggled, wrapping her arms around Lin Tian''s. She pressed her body tightly against Lin Tian, looking very intimate! "Cousin!" Seeing Li Nian''s affectionate gesture, He Qianqian said discontentedly. "Ugh! Petty!" Noticing He Qianqian''s dissatisfied expression, Li Nian pursed her lips and let go of Lin Tian''s arm. As Li Nian''s hand released him, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lin Tian''s face. Just now, it felt pretty awesome. He had even fantasized about being flanked by both women. "Hmph!" He Qianqian huffed. "Okay, let''s go, let''s go!" At this moment, Li Nian cheerfully tried to smooth things over. As they left He Qianqian''s room, she made sure nobody was outside before letting Lin Tian out, to avoid suspicion. Even after they stepped out of the dorm, He Qianqian made Lin Tian keep his distance on campus out of caution. Many people on campus knew He Qianqian and Lin Tian, and seeing them too close could give the wrong impression, especially since it was still evening and there were people around. Once they reached the street outside the school gates, Lin Tian relaxed a lot, and despite He Qianqian''s resistance, he just took her hand. The three then hailed a taxi to a nearby food stall. The stall was sparsely populated, with just a few patrons scattered about. They sat down and started ordering food. There wasn''t much to choose for late-night snacks, just stir-fried snails and some cold dishes. The three ate and chatted, with Li Nian doing most of the talking, and what she talked about the most was the Anti-aging Water. She still couldn''t resign herself to just letting Lin Tian get away. But Lin Tian was determined not to yield the Anti-aging Water so easily. He had already given her one bottle, which was worth a Superpower Point. So no matter how subtly Li Nian hinted, mocked, or tried to provoke him, Lin Tian remained unfazed. He just kept eating snails and replied with noncommittal answers. Seeing her efforts in vain as Lin Tian remained indifferent, Li Nian became a bit irritated and mouthed: "Ugh! Boring!" "You''re just wasting your time!" Lin Tian watched Li Nian with a mischievous smile. Picking up a snail, he sucked lightly, then bit into it, extracting the flesh inside. He really liked this kind of stir-fried snail, especially enjoying the tangy and spicy taste that burst on his tongue. Of course, Lin Tian liked the stir-fried snails he made even more. Ever since he had acquired the level-one cooking superpower, Lin Tian would sometimes cook, but he was quite lazy, preferring not to bother even if the dish someone else made wasn''t very tasty. Seeing how Lin Tian continued to enjoy his food nonchalantly after all her talking, Li Nian glared at him in annoyance and then reached out to pick up a snail and suck the juice and flesh out together. After a few chews, she shook her head in disappointment: "The taste is far from as good. I really miss the stir-fried snails your mom makes!" Li Nian said, looking up at He Qianqian. "That''s true! My mom''s stir-fried snails are extraordinary!" He Qianqian laughed as she picked up a piece of dried tofu. "Stop it, I''m going to drool just thinking about it!" The memory of He Qianqian''s mom''s stir-fried snails made Li Nian instantly lose her appetite compared to what they were eating. "Is it really that delicious?" After glancing at the two girls, Lin Tian asked, a bit puzzled. Lin Tian was not aware of He Qianqian''s mom''s level of skill, but it was true that the two girls hadn''t really enjoyed the stall''s stir-fried snails. "You wouldn''t know that heavenly delight since you''ve never tried it!" Li Nian gave Lin Tian a dismissive look. "Heavenly delight?" Lin Tian laughed upon hearing this. Wiping his hands with a napkin from the table, he pointed to himself: "Don''t talk about heavenly delights in front of me!" "What, you think you''re a chef or something!" Li Nian said with disdain. Lin Tian just smiled, his expression serene. A chef? That title isn''t enough to describe me anymore. But Lin Tian didn''t say anything more. Continuing would mean having to show his skills. Lin Tian was usually unwilling to cook for himself, and he definitely didn''t want to start cooking now. Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t reply, Li Nian thought he was admitting defeat. Then she looked disdainfully at him: "Aren''t you all that? Then show me!" Also, didn''t you say you have some so-called superpower? I haven''t seen you exhibit any special skills! Pfft!" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with contempt. Li Nian was somewhat irked by Lin Tian''s apparent indifference; she''d been going on about the Anti-aging Water for quite some time, but the guy seemed totally unmoved. It was only natural that she harbored some resentment towards him. As for Li Nian''s resentful and sarcastic words, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered to deal with them. He picked up a river snail and sucked on it again before turning his head to look at her with a smile: "I can cook, no problem, but what''s my reward? How about a kiss from you?" "Pervert!" Hearing Lin Tian''s somewhat frivolous words, Li Nian was taken aback and then angrily retorted: "Fine, if you can do it, I''ll kiss you! But what if you can''t?" Seeing Li Nian take the bet seriously, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned. Lin Tian hesitated. A kiss from Li Nian didn''t seem very reliable. With He Qianqian here, even if Li Nian dared to kiss him, Lin Tian wouldn''t dare to accept it. So, if Lin Tian won, he might end up with nothing, but losing wouldn''t be so simple for him. Not a good deal! Not a good deal! How could this be a good deal? Variety of thoughts flashed through his mind; then Lin Tian ignored Li Nian and continued to eat his river snails. Seeing Lin Tian suddenly lose his nerve and shy away from the challenge, Li Nian stared at him with even more disdain: "What''s the matter? Lost your courage? Where did that tone go? I thought you were so cool! Honestly! If you don''t have the sunshine, then don''t outshine!" Curling his lips, Lin Tian didn''t utter a word, his expression seemed somewhat indifferent. Noticing Lin Tian''s expression, Li Nian was somewhat displeased as she spoke: "What? Still not convinced? Then show me! If you pull it off, I promise I''ll keep my word and give you a kiss!" After speaking, Li Nian pursed her tempting red lips! Looking at Li Nian''s cherry-like little mouth, Lin Tian really wanted to take a bite! To show off or not to show off? As Lin Tian was hesitating, all of a sudden, he paused! An electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind. "Task: Fulfill Li Nian''s wish by making the stir-fried river snails the way she remembers them from outside! Reward upon completion: one Superpower Point. Note: This task must be completed within fifteen minutes. Failure to complete within the assigned time is deemed as failure." Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire "A task notification?" Lin Tian was astonished. At this moment, Li Nian still didn''t want to let Lin Tian off the hook, looking at him with a mocking tone, she said, "Kid, if you''re not capable, then don''t brag! You¡­" Having recovered his senses, Lin Tian cut her off directly, looking at her earnestly: "I can do it!" "What?" Li Nian was startled, not understanding what Lin Tian meant. "Didn''t you say you wanted to eat the version your mom makes? I''ll do it for you! But remember what you promised, your kiss!" Saying that, Lin Tian stood up, patted Li Nian on the shoulder, and then walked towards the owner of the food stall. "This¡­" Seeing Lin Tian suddenly walk away, Li Nian was dumbfounded, somewhat unable to understand what was happening. The change in Lin Tian was too abrupt. The sudden shift in Lin Tian''s attitude also caught He Qianqian by surprise. She found it rather confusing as well. However, one thing was certain for both girls: Lin Tian had agreed to stir-fry the river snails and had boldly claimed he could replicate the same flavor as He Qianqian''s mother. Thinking of this, they both turned their heads to look at Lin Tian. By that time, Lin Tian had already negotiated with the owner. The owner had agreed! Watching Lin Tian busily tossing and turning the river snails in the wok, Li Nian looked dumbfounded for a moment before turning to He Qianqian with a puzzled expression, "Is he good at cooking?" He Qianqian was also somewhat bewildered, hesitantly replying: "He should know how to cook, but I haven''t heard that he''s particularly skilled!" He Qianqian had never eaten anything cooked by Lin Tian herself, so she wasn''t very sure. "He couldn''t possibly replicate the same flavor as your mom, could he?" Li Nian said, looking doubtfully at He Qianqian while watching the busy Lin Tian. At this point, Li Nian was truly skeptical. After all, Lin Tian''s Anti-aging Water had left too much of an impression on her. What if there was a miracle? "It shouldn''t be possible. Even if the cooking is really good, flavors differ from person to person, and he hasn''t even tasted my mom''s stir-fried river snails." After some thought, He Qianqian shook her head. "That''s true!" Li Nian nodded, reassured by He Qianqian''s words. However, what they didn''t know was that when Lin Tian stood up and patted Li Nian''s shoulder, he had already activated his cooking superpower and memorized the perfect flavor of the stir-fried river snails from Li Nian''s memory. As Lin Tian stirred the river snails, wisps of white aura drifted from his body into the snails in the wok. Gradually, a fragrant aroma began to fill the air! Chapter 199 - Come! Hit Here! ```"Swoosh~!" Lin Tianyi held a wok in one hand and a spatula in the other, ceaselessly stirring. Lin Tian''s expression was serious, and his whole demeanor was focused, as though he was dealing with something very solemn. As Lin Tian stirred, strands of white, smoke-like substance that others couldn''t see began to drift from his body! This white smoke slowly rose from Lin Tian and floated towards the black snails in the pot. Eventually, it all entered into the snails. Seeing how focused Lin Tian was, Li Nian turned to He Qianqian and said hesitantly, "He seems to be taking this very seriously. He''s not really trying to recreate the taste just like your mom''s cooking, is he?" "How could that be!" He Qianqian shook her head immediately, glanced at Lin Tian, and laughed as she said: "The snails were already prepared by the boss, now they''re just being heated up a bit. No matter how they''re cooked, they''ll have the same flavor." "That''s true!" After thinking about it, Li Nian nodded. The snails were already prepared, so no matter what Lin Tian did, the taste wouldn''t differ much. "Just wait and see, we''ll know soon," He Qianqian said with a smile while watching Lin Tian earnestly stirring the snails. Five to six minutes later, Lin Tian brought a plate of snails over to the two girls. Standing in front of the two girls, Lin Tian placed the snails on the table, bowed slightly, gestured with his hand, and said with a grin, "Please, enjoy!" After a glance at Lin Tian, and then at the snails on the table, Li Nian looked up at Lin Tian: "These are the snails you cooked?" "Of course!" Lin Tian replied with a beaming smile. "You said you''d cook them with the same taste as Qianqian''s mom?" Li Nian asked again. "Yes!" Lin Tian nodded slightly. "What if you can''t manage it?" Li Nian gazed intently at Lin Tian. She still remembered Lin Tian''s promise of Anti-aging Water. Knowing what Li Nian meant, Lin Tian laughingly said: "I know what you mean. Don''t worry, if it''s not the same, I''ll give you the Anti-aging Water!" "You said it yourself!" A glint of joy flashed in Li Nian''s eyes. "Come on, eat! You talk too much!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes at her. "Hehe..." Li Nian smiled slightly smugly, then picked up a piece of snail with her chopsticks and sucked it into her mouth. With one suck, all the broth inside entered her mouth. The rich broth spread over her taste buds, and in an instant, a familiar taste permeated her mouth. "This..." Feeling the familiar taste in her mouth, Li Nian was stunned, and her smile froze on her face. "What''s wrong?" Seeing Li Nian space out, He Qianqian turned her head curiously to look at her. At the sound of He Qianqian''s voice, Li Nian came back to her senses, turned to her, and said, "You taste it!" As she said this, disbelief still lingered on Li Nian''s face. "What? Could it really taste just like my mom''s cooking!" Seeing Li Nian''s expression, He Qianqian joked. As she spoke, He Qianqian also picked up a piece of snail with her chopsticks. Holding the snail, He Qianqian loosened her grip, sucked it into her mouth, and with one suck. Immediately, a familiar taste spread in her mouth. "This..." He Qianqian was stunned, turned her head to Lin Tian with a shocked expression, and asked, "How come?" Watching the two girls'' puzzled expressions, Lin Tian chortled and said leisurely: "Surprised, aren''t you?" "Have you... have you eaten my mom''s cooked snails?" He Qianqian looked at Lin Tian in amazement. "No!" Lin Tian shook his head with a grin. "Then how did you..." He Qianqian continued to stare in astonishment. "I have superpowers, didn''t I say so!" Lin Tian grinned. Glancing at Li Nian who looked somewhat skeptical, Lin Tian blinked and laughed mischievously, "What about the kiss you promised?" S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Nian snapped out of it and started to size up Lin Tian as if he were an incredibly rare treasure! After taking a good look, Li Nian, filled with curiosity, asked Lin Tian: "So what other tricks have you not pulled out yet?" As she said this, Li Nian''s eyes sparkled with eagerness. What a gem! This guy is practically a treasure! Li Nian thought Lin Tian was an absolute gem. Lin Tian was somewhat startled by Li Nian''s fervent gaze. After a moment, he laughed awkwardly and said: "That''s it, just a bit of strength, then the Anti-aging Water, and cooking skills!" He certainly didn''t want to be pestered by a woman all the time, even though she was a beauty. "Really?" Li Nian looked at Lin Tian with a skeptical face, doubting his words. "Of course it''s true!" Lin Tian quickly nodded and, seeing Li Nian still not letting it go, his eyes shifted as he quickly changed the subject, winking at her teasingly and smiling, "What about that kiss you promised?" Distracted by Lin Tian''s deflection, Li Nian temporarily forgot to keep questioning him, but after glancing at He Qianqian, she raised her eyebrows smugly and said: "Then you have to ask Qianqian!" "Uh..." Lin Tian''s gaze shifted, and then he saw He Qianqian staring at him with wide eyes! Lin Tian shrank his neck, deciding it was better to not ask He Qianqian. "As expected, good thing there are mission rewards, otherwise it would have been all for nothing," Lin Tian''s expression was somewhat helpless! He had anticipated this outcome. If it weren''t for the mission, he really wouldn''t have bothered cooking. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire Thinking of the mission, a strange look flashed in Lin Tian''s eyes as he mused: "Why hasn''t the mission prompt sounded yet? Could this still not be considered completing the mission?" "Ding!" Just as Lin Tian was thinking this, suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness. Hearing this sound, Lin Tian diverted most of his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. As his consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, an electronic synthesized voice resounded once more: ``` Chapter 199 Come! Hit Here! _2 "Task of fulfilling Li Nian''s wish to make her ideal stir-fried river snails has been completed, reward of one Supernatural Point is granted."As the voice echoed, a drop-shaped Supernatural Point of golden color slowly seeped out from the superpower menu. As soon as the golden Supernatural Point emerged, it floated towards the sky of the Sea of Consciousness and eventually hung there. Looking up at the sky of the Sea of Consciousness, many golden Supernatural Points were densely suspended there at that time. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Another four drops!" Lin Tian thought to himself after scanning the floating Supernatural Points overhead. Originally, Lin Tian had a total of fourteen Supernatural Points, he spent ten to create a new superpower, then two on Anti-aging Water, and gained two more by completing the tasks for He Qianqian and Li Nian. The addition and subtraction equaled exactly four drops. "What''s going on, I''m talking to you!" Just as Lin Tian''s consciousness was mostly immersed in the Sea of Consciousness, a dissatisfied voice suddenly rang in his ear. "Huh?" Lin Tian was startled and came to his senses with a glance. With a glance, Lin Tian immediately saw Li Nian looking at him angrily. Noticing that Lin Tian had finally snapped out of it, Li Nian said annoyed, "You can get distracted when I''m talking to you, am I that unattractive?" "No, what were you saying..." "You..." Half an hour later, the three of them settled the bill and left the food stall. Getting up to leave the stall, Lin Tian turned to look at the two girls and asked, "Should we take a walk, or go back?" "Let''s walk, we just ate!" Li Nian said directly. "Yeah!" He Qianqian stroked her hair and nodded gently. Seeing that neither girl had any objections, Lin Tian had none either, and the three of them began to stroll along the sidewalk. "Lin Tian, give me another bottle of Anti-aging Water!" On the sidewalk, Li Nian clung to Lin Tian''s arm and leaned her head towards him! Lin Tian glanced at Li Nian, who was clinging to his arm, then turned his head to look at He Qianqian. Seeing Lin Tian glance her way, He Qianqian gave him a stern look. Immediately, Lin Tian replied with an innocent look. He Qianqian shook her head helplessly and didn''t say anything. She understood her cousin''s personality well, and arguing would be futile, so He Qianqian couldn''t be bothered to speak up. Seeing He Qianqian''s tacit approval, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised, but he did not ask Li Nian to let go. After all, having a beautiful girl clinging to him was always a pleasure, wasn''t it? "Hey, I''m talking to you!" Seeing Lin Tian space out again, Li Nian said with dissatisfaction. "Huh?" Lin Tian came back to reality, and then said, "No way!" "Why not!" Li Nian asked angrily. "I''ve said it, Anti-aging Water isn''t something I can give away easily, it really drains my energy. When I''m better, I''ll think of you first, especially since you are Qianqian''s sister, right!" Lin Tian said with a chuckle. Of course, all these were just to hoodwink Li Nian, Lin Tian was just a bit pained by the thought of spending Supernatural Points. "Bah! Liar!" Li Nian didn''t believe Lin Tian''s words at all. "I''m not lying, I''m serious!" Lin Tian looked genuinely innocent. "Don''t want to deal with you! Pervert!" Li Nian looked dismissive, let go of his arm and turned her head away, ignoring Lin Tian. Watching Li Nian''s hand leaving his arm, a hint of regret flickered across Lin Tian''s face. It had been quite enjoyable a moment ago. However, despite feeling a bit reluctant, Lin Tian said nothing. Lin Tian certainly didn''t want to agree to anything with Li Nian. Once he agreed the first time, there would be a second, and right now he couldn''t afford to use his Supernatural Points. Seeing Li Nian ignoring him, Lin Tian didn''t mind and continued walking ahead. But after a few steps, Lin Tian paused and turned his head to look behind him, noticing Li Nian standing still in her original spot! Lin Tian looked at her curiously, "What''s wrong? Aren''t we going?" Li Nian stood there, her expression somewhat panicky as she looked ahead at two men not far in front of them. Noticing Li Nian''s gaze, Lin Tian followed her line of sight! Then Lin Tian saw two men, dressed in casual clothes, laughing and walking towards them. "What''s wrong?" After glancing at the two men, Lin Tian looked at Li Nian with some confusion. At that moment, He Qianqian also saw the two men, and her face changed instantly. "What exactly is going on?" Lin Tian furrowed his brows. He felt something was off! Li Nian didn''t speak but frantically pulled a mask out of his pocket and put it on, then bowed his head! As Li Nian put on the mask, He Qianqian walked over. Upon reaching Li Nian''s side, He Qianqian looked rather pale as she stared at one of the two men ahead and asked, "Is that Zheng Xiaoqing?" "Yeah, let''s go!" Li Nian nodded emphatically and then turned to leave. She was clearly trying to avoid these two men! Seeing Li Nian turn and walk away, Lin Tian was taken aback, unable to figure out what was going on. "Let''s go!" Seeing Lin Tian staring blankly, He Qianqian pulled on Lin Tian''s arm and then prepared to follow. "Li Nian!" Just when He Qianqian was about to pull Lin Tian away, suddenly a voice rang out. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing this sudden male voice, Li Nian, who had walked a few steps, paused! After hesitating, Li Nian didn''t stop but instead quickened her pace to leave. "Don''t go!" Seeing Li Nian trying to leave, one of the two men quickly chased after her and reached in front of Li Nian to grab her arm. "What? You''re leaving just like that upon seeing an old friend?" Zheng Xiaoqing was holding Li Nian''s wrist with a smile, looking at her. "Let go!" With her wrist caught, Li Nian struggled forcefully, trying to shake free from his grasp. But how could a woman''s strength compare to a man''s, her attempt to shake free was futile. Frowning slightly at the man, Lin Tian walked over! Standing beside Li Nian, Lin Tian looked somewhat puzzled. Lin Tian didn''t know who the man was or what his relationship with Li Nian was. As Lin Tian approached, the man beside Zheng Xiaoqing walked over as well. Seeing the man approaching, Zheng Xiaoqing turned to his companion with a smirk and said, "This is the Li Nian I told you about!" "Is that her?" The man''s eyes lit up as he sized up Li Nian with a chuckle, "She does look good. It seems you weren''t bragging!" "Of course! Who am I?" Zheng Xiaoqing smiled smugly. "Let go!" At this moment, Li Nian struggled fiercely, trying once again to pull her hand free. But no matter how hard she tried, it was no use. "Let go? For what reason? You''ve forgotten me already?" Zheng Xiaoqing''s grip on Li Nian''s wrist tightened as he smiled. Frowning at the man, Lin Tian looked rather displeased. Despite not knowing the man''s relationship with Li Nian, Lin Tian could tell from his tone and words that this man was clearly not on good terms with Li Nian. And the man''s tone was very irritating to Lin Tian. Glancing at the man''s tight grip on Li Nian''s hand, Lin Tian said coldly, "If she tells you to let go, you let go, understand?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zheng Xiaoqing looked up, gave Lin Tian an once-over, then ignored him and turned back to Li Nian with a teasing tone: "What? You''ve found yourself a fresh young thing? You''re nothing but a slut, playing innocent in front of me back then!" "You let go of me!" Li Nian struggled hard, but her face was turning red, all in vain. "What''s the rush?" Zheng Xiaoqing looked at Li Nian leisurely. His hand held Li Nian''s wrist tightly without letting go! Lin Tian glanced coldly and said in a chilly tone: "I told you to let go!" "Get lost!" With a glance at Lin Tian, Zheng Xiaoqing turned his head, uninterested in dealing with Lin Tian. He completely disregarded Lin Tian. Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian felt annoyed. To be ignored by this guy twice, he really thought he didn''t exist? Lin Tian''s gaze grew colder as he stared at him, "I''ll count to three. If you don''t let go by then, believe it or not, I''ll break your leg!" Hearing this, Zheng Xiaoqing finally turned to look at Lin Tian, sized him up, and sneered with disdain: "Break my leg? I''m so scared!" "Come on, hit here!" Saying this, Zheng Xiaoqing leaned forward, patting his face. Chapter 200 Is This Guy from Mars? Zheng Xiaoqing leaned his face forward, patting his own cheek with a look of arrogance!He didn''t believe that Lin Tian would dare to hit him! Lin Tian looked like a young man who simply didn''t have the guts! Seeing that Lin Tian made no move, a smug look flashed across Zheng Xiaoqing''s face: "Kid, you..." Slap! Zheng Xiaoqing hadn''t finished speaking when a loud slap sounded! Zheng Xiaoqing was sent reeling back several steps by Lin Tian''s slap. Clutching his cheek, Zheng Xiaoqing''s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lin Tian. He never thought that Lin Tian would really dare to hit him! Glancing at the other''s incredulous face, Lin Tian snorted coldly, strode forward, and grabbed him by the collar, delivering two more resounding slaps! "You really think you''re somebody? When I offer my face, there''s no reason not to slap it!" Lin Tian said with a cold look, giving another fierce slap! Slap! With that slap from Lin Tian, Zheng Xiaoqing felt his teeth on the right cheek loosen. A trace of blood emerged from the corner of his mouth. Lin Tian gave a hard shove afterward, pushing him directly to the ground. With Lin Tian''s shove, Zheng Xiaoqing stumbled back several steps, then thumped down onto the ground. Because of the conflict here, many people had gradually started to gather around. Sitting on the ground, Zheng Xiaoqing immediately felt a sharp pain in his bottom. He felt as if his butt had bloomed! Touching his swollen cheek, Zheng Xiaoqing was stupefied for a moment! After a long while, regaining his senses, Zheng Xiaoqing furiously spat out a mouthful of saliva and struggled to get up! As he got up, Zheng Xiaoqing roared and charged toward Lin Tian. His face looked extremely ferocious! As if he couldn''t wait to devour Lin Tian! Seeing his fierce expression, both Li Nian and He Qianqian were somewhat taken aback. Lin Tian snorted coldly. As Zheng Xiaoqing was about to rush at him, Lin Tian bent down and kicked the ground fiercely. Whoosh! S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian instantly appeared one meter away! He lifted his leg and delivered a ruthless kick! Bang! Zheng Xiaoqing was kicked by Lin Tian and flew backward five meters! "Wow!" Seeing Lin Tian send a grown man flying with a single kick, the crowd erupted in exclamations. How strong must one be to kick someone five meters away? Zheng Xiaoqing''s body crashed heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. He felt as if all his organs had shifted places. After resting for a good while, Zheng Xiaoqing felt he had recovered somewhat. With the help of his friends, Zheng Xiaoqing finally managed to stand up. However, this time he didn''t rush over; from Lin Tian''s move just now, he knew that charging at him was akin to seeking death. Shooting Lin Tian a vicious glare, Zheng Xiaoqing left with the support of his companions. His expression filled with malice! Watching the somewhat disheveled Zheng Xiaoqing leave, Lin Tian let out a cold laugh. As for the latter''s warning glare as he left, Lin Tian didn''t take it to heart at all. After a glance, Lin Tian turned to Li Nian and asked, "Who is he?" "He used to pursue my cousin, but she didn''t agree. Out of anger, he ended up disfiguring her chin!" He Qianqian said indignantly, watching Zheng Xiaoqing. "What?" Lin Tian was taken aback and asked, "He didn''t go to jail?" "His family has some power. Not only did he avoid any trouble, but they even managed to get my uncle who complained about him sent to jail for several months!" He Qianqian''s expression showed anger. "This..." Lin Tian was stunned. After a moment, a flash of anger sparkled through his heart. At first, he thought that Zheng Xiaoqing might have had some relationship with Li Nian after hearing all this, Lin Tian regretted not hitting harder. "Too arrogant!" A furious light flickered in Lin Tian''s eyes. "Kid, just wait, I''ll have you dead!" During Lin Tian''s moment of fury, suddenly a belligerent voice came from afar. Turning his head, Lin Tian saw Zheng Xiaoqing and his friend had already stopped a taxi not far away, opening the door to leave. Perhaps feeling that leaving this way was too embarrassing, and also thinking that after such a distance Lin Tian would definitely not be able to catch up! So before leaving, Zheng Xiaoqing dropped some harsh words! A trace of cold light flashed across Lin Tian''s face: "Looking for death!" Lin Tian pushed his foot off the ground and ran straight towards the two people. Seeing Lin Tian charging over, Zheng Xiaoqing was startled and hurriedly got into the car, urging, "Hurry! Drive now!" "Vroom..." Under Zheng Xiaoqing''s urging, the car began to start. "Is that going to be useful?" Seeing the car starting, Lin Tian snorted coldly, pushed his foot off the ground with force, and lunged forward! Whoosh! The sound of tearing through the air arose. This... Inside the car, Zheng Xiaoqing''s eyes widened as he watched Lin Tian. Fly! Zheng Xiaoqing saw Lin Tian flying towards them! The speed was too fast! Surely even an Olympic champion couldn''t match this speed, right? Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Zheng Xiaoqing saw Lin Tian sprint from tens of meters away straight towards the car. By this time, the taxi had already moved some distance, and the car itself had gathered some speed. The driver, who was about to leave, was suddenly startled as he saw a figure charging towards him. That posture, it was as if he was going to crash directly into the car! "Tssk!" In an instant, the driver was scared out of his wits and braked hard! But it was still a bit too late, there was too little time for him to react, the car was too fast, and Lin Tian''s speed was also too great! "Is this kid trying to get himself killed!" the driver shouted angrily! "Ah!" Seeing Lin Tian crashing directly into the car, the onlookers involuntarily screamed. "Bang!" A muffled sound of collision echoed. Everyone thought Lin Tian was going to end tragically! However, the scene before them surprised everyone. The car stopped! And Lin Tian was completely unharmed! Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire Everyone looked toward Lin Tian''s feet, only to see him fiercely planting his right foot on the front of the car, instantly rendering it immobile. Due to the tremendous force, Lin Tian''s right foot even caused the hood to cave in deeply. "This..." Seeing the dent made by Lin Tian''s foot, everyone was stunned? Could this be the strength of a human? Lin Tian''s next move had everyone''s mouths falling wide open. After stopping the car with one foot, Lin Tian bent over, grabbed the front of the car with both hands, and then lifted. "Creak~!" As Lin Tian made his move, the green taxi was slowly raised! "This, this..." Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, mouths agape. Lifting the car high, Lin Tian then forcefully set it down. Bang! The green taxi violently hit the ground and even bounced slightly. Dumbstruck! At this moment, Zheng Xiaoqing''s mind was a complete blank. Damn it, is this guy an alien or what! Dismissing the car to one side, Lin Tian quickly stepped forward, yanked the rear door of the car open! Zheng Xiaoqing was inside! Lin Tian, with a cold face, reached in and grabbed Zheng Xiaoqing by the collar, yanking him out forcibly. Like lifting a small chicken, Lin Tian pulled Zheng Xiaoqing out with one hand! By this time, Zheng Xiaoqing''s head was still in a daze! Lin Tian chuckled coldly, grabbed his hair, and pressed him hard against the car roof! A thump! Chapter 201 Slap in the Face! Bang!With a loud crash, Zheng Xiaoqing''s head violently hit the car roof! A stream of fresh blood flowed from Zheng Xiaoqing''s face, and he felt as if his nasal bone was about to break. Lifting Zheng Xiaoqing, Lin Tian kicked fiercely toward his groin. "Ow~!" Zheng Xiaoqing screamed miserably, clutching his groin in pain. Looking at Zheng Xiaoqing on the ground, his face ghastly pale and continuously screaming, Lin Tian snorted coldly, his eyelids slightly lifting as he swept his gaze toward Zheng Xiaoqing''s companion. Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, that person shivered, and a trace of fear flashed across his face. "Slap yourself!" Lin Tian coldly glanced at him and snorted. Judging by his flowery speech, this person was clearly the same sort of trash as Zheng Xiaoqing. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the man''s face froze, then he regained his composure and violently slapped himself! Slap! The slap was heavy, his left cheek instantly swelling up. "That''s it?" Seeing that the man had stopped after one slap, Lin Tian snorted dissatisfiedly. Hesitating for a moment, the man grimaced and slapped himself again and then another slap! Listening to the resounding slaps, a hint of satisfaction finally crossed Lin Tian''s cold face! Lin Tian gave him a glance and then looked back at Zheng Xiaoqing who was still screaming on the ground, feeling it was enough, and then turned to leave. When he reached the two girls, He Qianqian was fine, but Li Nian was staring wide-eyed at Lin Tian, as if she was meeting him for the first time. Glancing at Li Nian, Lin Tian waved his hand: "Let''s go!" On the way, Lin Tian chatted with the two girls and even gave his phone number to Li Nian, asking her to call him if needed! Originally, Lin Tian planned to spend the evening with He Qianqian, but now with Li Nian there, he had no choice but to give up reluctantly! "It''s very late, you should go back!" Upon reaching the school gate, He Qianqian stopped and said. "Okay, stay safe!" At the school, Lin Tian was no longer worried! After sleeping at home for one night, Lin Tian was planning to go back to school the next day, but instead decided to find He Qianqian and ask about Li Nian''s situation! Lin Tian was still a bit worried that Zheng Xiaoqing would come back for revenge! Catching a taxi, ten minutes later, the taxi stopped at the school gate! Sitting down, as Lin Tian was about to pay the driver, suddenly, he paused! Lin Tian''s gaze shot through the car window, staring at the school gate in shock. At that moment, a black Mercedes slowly drove out of the school gate, driven by a young man in his twenties. He was dressed in a white T-shirt, with a crew cut, looking very spirited and somewhat handsome. Meanwhile, the young man was slowly driving while occasionally turning to say something to the back seat. Seeing him chatting and laughing, he seemed very happy. Lin Tian''s eyesight was excellent, and he noticed that the two girls sitting in his back seat were none other than He Qianqian and Li Nian. "This..." Seeing the two girls, Lin Tian was stunned. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As Lin Tian was dazed, the black Mercedes gradually moved away, soon to disappear. Seeing this, Lin Tian pulled back the money he was about to pay, turned to the driver, and pointed at the black Mercedes: "Follow that black Mercedes!" Giving Lin Tian a glance, the driver said nothing, his expression understanding, and then followed. "Be careful not to let them notice us!" Lin Tian reminded uneasily as he watched the black Mercedes ahead. "Don''t worry, my skills are absolutely fine!" The driver chuckled, his expression somewhat excited. Half an hour later, the black sedan in front hadn''t stopped yet. Lin Tian realized He Qianqian and the others were heading towards the northern suburbs. "Going to the northern suburbs? Could it be to Wu''an Lake?" Lin Tian speculated. If there''s any well-known place in the northern suburbs, it would be Wu''an Lake, a famous tourist spot in the city. As Lin Tian speculated why He Qianqian was heading to Wu''an Lake,... In the vicinity of Wu''an Lake, a white BMW drove into the Wu''an Lake scenic area. And the person in the car was Zheng Xiaoqing, who Lin Tian had badly beaten the day before. At that time, Zheng Xiaoqing''s face was still very swollen. He looked almost like a pig''s head. Accompanying Zheng Xiaoqing were three or four young men. At that moment, one of the young men, grinning, looked at Zheng Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, does your face still hurt? Want me to get revenge for you?" These young men were planning to have fun at Wu''an Lake! Hearing the young man''s words, Zheng Xiaoqing reached out and touched his swollen cheek! Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire Even though he gently touched it, he still involuntarily sucked in a breath of cold air due to the pain. At that moment, hearing the young man''s words, Zheng Xiaoqing swept him a glance and snorted coldly: "No need, I''ll handle it myself!" With that, Zheng Xiaoqing couldn''t help but suck in another breath of air. He had accidentally spoken too loudly just before, aggravating the wound on his face. "Damn it!" Clutching his painful face, Zheng Xiaoqing''s face twisted in a venomous expression. The pain on his face made him frustrated! Zheng Xiaoqing loathed Lin Tian to the core, as well as He Qianqian and Li Nian. Yesterday, upon returning, Zheng Xiaoqing immediately contacted people from the streets to teach Lin Tian a lesson, but those people were only available in the afternoon, so Zheng Xiaoqing had no choice but to wait. "You''ll see in the afternoon! Especially that kid!" As he thought of yesterday''s humiliation, Zheng Xiaoqing''s face filled with rage. He couldn''t wait to devour Lin Tian! "After teaching that kid a lesson, those two **** next!" Zheng Xiaoqing''s expression was gritted, and the images of Li Nian and He Qianqian flashed in his mind. Chapter 201 Slap in the face!_2 Thinking about the two girls, Zheng Xiaoqing''s pig-like face twisted into a menacing grin:"I''ll definitely take turns with them, hmph!" Looking at Zheng Xiaoqing''s fierce expression, the man sitting next to him said with a grin: "Really, Xiaoqingzi, are those two girls as top-notch as you say?" "Hmph! You''ll know soon enough, and if you want, I can let you have a go!" Zheng Xiaoqing said coldly. "Really? I''m pretty picky!" the man said, somewhat skeptical. He had been with many women and didn''t believe that He Qianqian and her friend could be as exceptional as Zheng Xiaoqing claimed. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire He was surely exaggerating. Seeing his disbelief, Zheng Xiaoqing didn''t bother to explain. He didn''t want to talk at all right now; talking made his face hurt. Five minutes later, Zheng Xiaoqing and his group drove into the scenic area. And twenty minutes after that, the black Mercedes carrying He Qianqian also slowly entered the scenic area. Shortly after He Qianqian had entered, the taxi carrying Lin Tian stopped at the entrance of the scenic area. Suddenly, all three parties had gathered together! Upon reaching Wu''an Lake, Lin Tian didn''t get out of the car immediately but waited a while before doing so. Once out of the car, Lin Tian immediately went to a secluded corner nearby. After looking around and noticing no one and no cameras, Lin Tian''s thoughts shifted, and he became invisible. After becoming invisible, Lin Tian quickly ran into the scenic area. By the time Lin Tian arrived inside, He Qianqian and her friend were already out of sight. However, Lin Tian was not worried, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the tracking system. As soon as he turned on the map of the tracking system, a small red dot appeared, and at that moment, this dot was still moving. This red dot was He Qianqian''s location! After glancing at the moving red dot, Lin Tian lifted his head, identified the direction, and immediately walked quickly deeper inside. He Qianqian''s phone had a tracking system Lin Tian had installed earlier, so he naturally knew where He Qianqian was. "Figures I''d end up using this thing; next time, I should upgrade my divination skills to avoid always relying on this tracking system." While muttering to himself, Lin Tian walked briskly towards He Qianqian''s location. While walking briskly forward, Lin Tian curiously surveyed the surroundings. Wu''an Lake in Wu''an City was famous, but Lin Tian had never been there before. "The environment is really nice!" He scanned his surroundings and murmured to himself. Wu''an Lake was vast, spanning tens of thousands of square meters, and the water was very clear, reportedly connected to an underground lake. Next to Wu''an Lake was a stretch of grassland, where the grass grew very lush and green, quite pleasing to the eye. Stepping on this lush, green grass, Lin Tian felt the softness under his feet, which was very comfortable. Meanwhile, several small streams meandered across this patch of grassland, like tiny snakes on a green carpet. With a step, Lin Tian extended his leg over a stream, noticing that these streams were all very narrow, less than a meter wide, with pebbles underneath. Lin Tian reached the edge of the water, looked down, and noticed that the water was very clear! He even saw a red crayfish the size of a child''s thumb under a stone. Surprised by the surroundings, Lin Tian had not expected the environment here to be this good. "This would be a great place to bring a girl!" he muttered to himself as he walked forward. Although Lin Tian wanted to stop and enjoy the surroundings, he was more curious about what the relation was between He Qianqian and that man. Following the direction of He Qianqian, Lin Tian crossed a stretch of grassland and then arrived in front of a forest. Seeing this forest, Lin Tian stopped, looked up. It was a birch forest, where the trees were all straight and sturdy, the smallest as thick as an adult''s thigh. The leaves were also large, the smallest the size of Lin Tian''s palm. After a glance at the forest, Lin Tian quickly walked in. After covering some distance, Lin Tian suddenly heard faint voices near his ear. It was He Qianqian and her friends. "Wow, this place is so nice!" "Yes, it''s beautiful!" Hearing these voices, Lin Tian quickened his pace. He had walked about ten meters when suddenly, Lin Tian''s view brightened dramatically. By then, Lin Tian had already walked out of the forest. No, more precisely, he had reached the center of the forest. In front of him, there was a clearing of several hundred meters, surrounded by trees on all sides. In the center of the clearing, there was a small pond. The pond was crescent-shaped, resembling a tiny crescent moon. A slender stream connected to the crescent pond on both ends, providing a flow of water to the pond. The banks of the pond were blanketed with green grass, lush and beautiful. "How beautiful!" Just as Lin Tian marveled at the cleverness of this place, suddenly, he heard He Qianqian''s voice, filled with astonishment, near his ear. Lin Tian turned his head and looked forward. At that moment, He Qianqian and two others were about ten meters in front of him. Since Lin Tian was invisible, he could see them, but they couldn''t see him. "Pretty, isn''t it? This pond is called Crescent Pond. I often come here to walk when I''m feeling down," said the young man, turning his head and smiling at He Qianqian. The young man was handsome, and his smile gave off a sunny and gentle vibe. After a glance at his handsome and gentle face, especially seeing his warm gaze fixed on herself, He Qianqian''s cheeks blushed, and she turned her head away awkwardly. Seeing He Qianqian''s reaction, the young man smiled slightly and then looked at He Qianqian and another person with a tender gaze, "Let me show you around. There are goldfish in this pond too!" Saying this, the young man made a gentlemanly gesture, inviting them to follow. S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hmm~!" He Qianqian nodded slightly and followed. After a quick glance at the young man, and then at He Qianqian, Li Nian slightly frowned and also followed. "Damn it!" Seeing all three walking side by side, Lin Tian cursed under his breath. Lin Tian admitted the young man was very handsome, much handsomer than himself, and his smile was also better-looking, and he appeared very gentlemanly, quite polite. His demeanor was exceptionally pleasant. But Lin Tian was really annoyed! Extremely annoyed! He Qianqian had looked somewhat embarrassed when this man was staring at her, and Lin Tian had certainly noticed it. How could this be acceptable! This was his woman! Lin Tian instantly became intensely jealous! After a glance at the young man, as he looked at his soft smiling face, Lin Tian felt more and more disgusted, finding him increasingly repelling! Feeling somewhat depressed while standing there, Lin Tian was thinking about what to do next when suddenly, voices came from the forest ahead. "There''s a clearing up ahead. Let''s check it out." "Really? Let''s see, this Wu''an Lake is quite nice!" ... Faint voices carried over from the opposite side of the forest, and the voices were getting closer. Lin Tian could now see a few people approaching. Hearing these voices, He Qianqian and her companions were taken aback. Were there other people coming too? Thinking this, He Qianqian and her companions stopped walking, curiously looking towards the direction of the voices. Soon, a few people emerged from the forest, totaling four individuals. All four were young people. Seeing these four, both He Qianqian''s and Li Nian''s expressions changed instantly! Emerging from the forest and discovering people were there, the four were also startled! As they looked at He Qianqian and her companions, one of them, with a swollen face resembling a pig''s head, suddenly paused. After a moment, his gaze turned cold as he stared at He Qianqian and Li Nian, sneering, "To run into you again! Excellent!" The four of them were none other than Zheng Xiaoqing and his accomplices! Seeing Zheng Xiaoqing, both He Qianqian''s and Li Nian''s expressions changed. They had not expected to encounter him here. And seeing Zheng Xiaoqing, Lin Tian was also very surprised; he never imagined he would encounter him here! Indeed, enemies often cross each other''s paths! Lin Tian muttered to himself. Chapter 202 Appears He Qianqian glanced at Zheng Xiaoqing and her complexion changed immediately as she grabbed Li Nian''s hand and turned to leave."Hey, why..." Seeing He Qianqian walking away, the young man next to him was startled and looked at her with a face full of astonishment. He had noticed He Qianqian''s change in expression just now. It seemed that He Qianqian was afraid to see these few people? Curious about this, he glanced at the four individuals, especially at the one whose face was swollen like a pig''s head. He realized He Qianqian had walked away upon seeing him. Across the way, Zheng Xiaoqing and the others were also stunned for a moment, and upon seeing He Qianqian and Li Nian, except for Zheng Xiaoqing, the other three stared lecherously at the two girls: "Xiaoqing, are they the two girls you mentioned?" "Exactly!" Zheng Xiaoqing nodded affirmatively. "They really are top-notch!" After scanning the backs of He Qianqian and the other girl, one of them licked his tongue, his expression resembling a wolf spotting its prey. At that moment, seeing He Qianqian and the other girl about to walk out of the woods, this person smiled cunningly and looked back at his accomplices. These men were all bad influences on each other, known for their misdeeds, and with just one look from him, the others understood what was happening. They nodded at one another and then one of them, grinning cheekily, quickly walked towards He Qianqian and her companion while taunting: "Two beauties? Why the hurry? Sit down and chat with us!" "Exactly!" Another person chased after them as he spoke. Seeing these men approaching, He Qianqian''s face changed, and she immediately prepared to run away. But after running a few steps, He Qianqian and her companion stopped. Someone had already blocked their path ahead. One bald man had already run ahead of them! Blocking He Qianqian and her companion''s way, he tilted his head slightly and shook his foot with a smile, "Beauty, where are you going?" He Qianqian glanced at him and turned her head! Upon looking, she discovered that several directions around her were blocked! He Qianqian also didn''t think she could outrun these people. Ma Liang, who had come with He Qianqian, only realized now that something was wrong, and frowned at the four men: "What are you doing?" "Get lost!" One of Zheng Xiaoqing''s accomplices glanced coldly at Ma Liang. "Mind your language!" Ma Liang frowned at him. "Mind my manners?" The man scoffed with a tilted head looking at Ma Liang. As he spoke, he suddenly reached deep into his pocket and slowly pulled out a black handgun! "Manners? You talk to me about manners?" Holding the handgun, he quickly stepped forward, pressing the gun barrel viciously against Ma Liang''s forehead! "Gulp~!" Seeing the black handgun in his hand, Ma Liang swallowed subconsciously, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes. From the cold touch on his forehead, Ma Liang was certain it was a real gun! Enjoy new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire The thought of a real gun against his forehead threw Ma Liang into complete disarray. Ma Liang gulped and said somewhat frantically, "Brother, everything''s negotiable! Everything''s negotiable!" As he spoke, Ma Liang instinctively raised his hands. But as soon as Ma Liang moved his hand, the man thrust his hand forward and fiercely said, "Move and I''ll shoot you!" "I won''t move, I won''t move!" Ma Liang hurriedly said with a smile. "Kneel down!" The man coldly ordered, holding the gun. "What?" Ma Liang was taken aback when he heard this. "I told you to kneel down!" The man glared fiercely at Ma Liang, pressing the gun down even harder against his forehead. Ma Liang looked hesitant. After all, it''s not easy for any man to just kneel down. Seeing Ma Liang''s hesitation, the man sneered coldly and pointed the dark barrel of the gun at him, coldly saying: "You decide¡ªkneel or die!" As he spoke, he took out a silencer from his pocket, attached it to the barrel, and then Ma Liang heard the click of the safety being released. Hearing this, Ma Liang''s heart skipped a beat. Ma Liang widened his eyes and stared at the man''s hand, watching as his finger on the gun''s trigger began to press down slowly.

Beads of sweat burst from Ma Liang''s forehead, trickling down his cheeks and dropping onto the green lawn; he was already drenched in nervous sweat. As the approaching fingers drew closer, Ma Liang finally couldn''t bear the pressure and thudded to his knees. "Haha!" "Coward!" Seeing Ma Liang actually kneel, laughter erupted immediately. "Old Cao, do you still love playing around like this? Look how scared you''ve made him!" one of them said, chuckling at the young man holding the pistol. "Hmph! This kid can''t take a scare!" Old Cao said dismissively, glancing at Ma Liang. Ma Liang bowed his head, his body trembling slightly, not daring to look up. Seeing Ma Liang kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head, He Qianqian, for some reason, thought of Wang Feng, her former boyfriend, and also of Lin Tian. She thought back to that scene in the park six months ago. Ma Liang''s behavior was eerily similar to Wang Feng''s. After mocking Ma Liang, Zheng Xiaoqing glanced at He Qianqian and the others, then looked at Ma Liang again, his eyes shifting. He walked up to Ma Liang, kicked him, and shouted, "Kid, curse these two ****." Ma Liang raised his head to look at Zheng Xiaoqing, then glanced at He Qianqian and the others before bowing his head again. Seeing Ma Liang ignore him, Zheng Xiaoqing bellowed angrily, snatched the pistol from Old Cao''s hand, and fired a shot into the ground next to Ma Liang. "Puh-ch!" Following the distinct sound of a silenced gun, a small hole appeared instantaneously in the grass next to Ma Liang! Seeing the bullet suddenly hit next to him, Ma Liang''s body shuddered. "Will you talk now!" Zheng Xiaoqing aimed the gun at Ma Liang and shouted fiercely. "Huff! Huff!" With his head lowered, Ma Liang''s breathing became very rapid, his chest heaving slightly with each breath. Seven or eight seconds later, just when everyone thought Ma Liang would remain silent, he suddenly raised his head and yelled fiercely at He Qianqian and Li Nian, "Sluts! You are sluts! Damn sluts!" "Huff!" No sooner had he spoken these words than Ma Liang began to gasp for air, his body as if bereft of its backbone! Hearing these words, Lin Tian, hiding in the distance, narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing through them! Courting death! Hearing Ma Liang''s sudden outburst, Zheng Xiaoqing was stunned momentarily, then laughed and turned to look at He Qianqian and the others, saying mockingly, "How does it feel? Enjoying it?" He Qianqian looked at him coldly, remaining silent. At that moment, He Qianqian was thinking about what to do. Her mind racing, the first image that came to He Qianqian''s mind was Lin Tian. In the most critical moment, the first person she thought of was Lin Tian. "Brothers? Same old rules!" Zheng Xiaoqing glanced at He Qianqian and the others, licked his lips, and chuckled coldly. "I want this one!" "I get this one first!" As Zheng Xiaoqing finished speaking, two men lunged at He Qianqian and Li Nian! "Ah! What are you doing?" "Let go!" He Qianqian struggled, her face full of urgency. "No!" Suddenly, a scream from Li Nian echoed in her ears. He Qianqian quickly turned her head and saw Li Nian being pulled down by that man. While He Qianqian was stunned, she suddenly felt a great force on her body and involuntarily fell backward. Her body crashed onto the green lawn! "Lin Tian!" As she fell, He Qianqian instinctively cried out, her voice filled with despair and hope! "No one can save you!" the man said viciously as he tore off his shirt, his face twisted in a lewd smile as he was about to pounce. "Hey!" Suddenly, a loud shout sounded. Hearing this familiar voice, He Qianqian, lying on the ground, was taken aback and quickly turned her head towards the direction of the sound. Looking over, she immediately saw Lin Tian with a stern face, slowly walking out from under a large tree. Chapter 203 "Ha!" The sudden voice startled everyone.Startled, Zheng Xiaoqing quickly turned his head toward the direction of the sound. Suddenly, he saw Lin Tian, with a livid face, slowly walking out from under a large tree. "Lin Tian!" Seeing Lin Tian, He Qianqian, lying on the grass, couldn''t help but shout out. At that moment, she felt an overwhelming urge to cry. Looking down at He Qianqian, who had fallen to the ground, her movements too abrupt, her pretty face even had some green grass on it, making her look especially pitiable and helpless. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian felt a pang of heartache. "Don''t be afraid, I''m here!" Lin Tian confidently assured He Qianqian. He Qianqian bit her red lips tightly, saying nothing! Seeing Lin Tian, He Qianqian''s nervous heart inexplicably relaxed. It seemed that as long as Lin Tian was there, everything would be alright. Lin Tian gave her a great sense of security. Zheng Xiaoqing, with a stunned face, paused for a moment, then sneered coldly, raising his hand, the dark muzzle of a gun pointed directly at Lin Tian. Staring coldly at Lin Tian, Zheng Xiaoqing sneered: "Kid, you choose not to take the road to heaven, but barge into Hell instead! Perfect, let''s settle this now!" Lin Tian raised his head and glanced at him indifferently, his face calm, "Settle? With just you?" "Xiaoqing, who is this kid?" That moment, an older man beside him glanced at Lin Tian and curiously asked Zheng Xiaoqing. "He''s the one I told you about!" Zheng Xiaoqing said hatefully while looking at Lin Tian. His gaze seemed as if he wanted to devour Lin Tian. "Oh?" Hearing this, the older man lifted his eyelids, glanced at Lin Tian, and looked him over critically: "Kid, I heard you can fight?" Lin Tian glanced at the older man and turned his head, ignoring him! Seeing that Lin Tian was completely ignoring him, the older man got angry, reached into his pocket again for a handgun, and pointed it menacingly at Lin Tian: "Kid, do you want to die?" Looking at the black muzzle pointed at him, Lin Tian''s face darkened, and he didn''t say a word, his hand moving slightly. As Lin Tian''s hand moved lightly, a silver one-yuan coin slipped into his palm. His fingers slowly pinched the coin, the muscles in Lin Tian''s hand gradually tensing. "Kid, I''m talking to you!" Seeing that Lin Tian still didn''t respond, the old man got even angrier, pressed the gun down, and pulled the trigger harshly! Aimed at Lin Tian''s thigh, he fired! "Bang!" Along with the gunshot, everyone at the scene jumped, and Ma Liang, kneeling on the ground, trembled. The moment the older man pulled the trigger, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he fiercely pushed off the ground. Whoosh! Lin Tian''s body immediately leapt to the left, dodging the bullet! At the same time, during the leap, Lin Tian flung the coin in his hand harshly. Buzz! With a whizzing sound, the silver coin struck viciously at the older man''s wrist! The coin moved so fast, it looked like a streak of silver lightning through the air. "Ah!" Followed by a scream. "Ah!" Hearing the scream near him, Ma Liang trembled. It was over! That must have been Lin Tian finished! He thought the scream was from Lin Tian! At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved, thankful that he hadn''t tried to act tough earlier. If he had, he might have lost his life. "Ah~! Damn! It hurts!" A sharp scream came from nearby. Wait, that voice... Hearing that voice, Ma Liang was stunned. How could the scream sound like it was from the older man? What was going on? Ma Liang was stunned; he hastily looked up. As he looked up, Ma Liang was dumbfounded. He saw the older man clutching his right wrist tightly with his left hand. Even though the older man was holding it tightly, blood was still seeping through the fingers of his left hand. This... Seeing this scene, Ma Liang was stunned, turned his head to look again. Turning his head, Ma Liang was again dumbfounded. He saw Lin Tian, completely unharmed! This sudden turn astounded everyone. But while they were astonished, Lin Tian did not pause. As Lin Tian dodged, his body hadn''t even landed on the ground when his hand shook again, whoosh! Following Lin Tian''s movement, a whizzing sound was heard, a streak of silver lightning flying towards Zheng Xiaoqing''s gun-held right hand. Seeing Lin Tian''s actions, Zheng Xiaoqing instinctively pulled the trigger. "Bang!" Along with a gunshot, Lin Tian''s body jumped fiercely! This jump was three meters high! Whoosh! Leaping up, Lin Tian stepped on the trunk of a large tree, then pushed off harshly. He dove down fiercely! Like an eagle swooping from the sky! Seeing Lin Tian coming rapidly, Zheng Xiaoqing''s face showed a flicker of panic! He was about to raise his handgun, but just as he made that movement, suddenly, a tremendous force struck his gun-holding right wrist. Bang! He felt as if his right wrist had shattered, as if struck by a bullet. "Ah!" Zheng Xiaoqing screamed in agony. It was the coin that Lin Tian had fired off, hitting Zheng Xiaoqing''s wrist at the critical moment! Zheng Xiaoqing''s mouth agape, his face twisted in pain! But just as he screamed, his voice abruptly cut off. A black shadow descended from the sky, fiercely kicking him in the chest! The scream was instantly interrupted! Bang! Zheng Xiaoqing''s body was kicked two meters away by Lin Tian. Right after kicking Zheng Xiaoqing away, Lin Tian landed and swiftly continued moving, his knee bending and his foot fiercely stomping! Whoosh, Lin Tian fiercely lunged at the other two men! Bang, bang! Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With one kick each, Lin Tian sent the remaining two men flying! Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire Fast! Fast! All of this happened incredibly fast! From when Cao fired his gun until the end, the whole sequence lasted only four or five seconds. Four or five seconds later, all four of Zheng Xiaoqing''s group were downed by Lin Tian. Lin Tian glanced briefly at the four immobile men, bent down to pick up two handguns from the ground and glanced at the handguns in his hands with a cold huff. Coldly sweeping his gaze over these four men, then looking at Ma Liang, who was kneeling on the ground utterly astonished, Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and then walked towards He Qianqian. He crouched down to help He Qianqian up, and seeing the grass debris on her beautiful face, Lin Tian carefully removed each piece from her face. Seeing Lin Tian''s earnest expression, He Qianqian''s eyes reddened, and she suddenly reached out, clutching Lin Tian''s neck tightly. "It''s okay, it''s okay, it''s over!" Lin Tian embraced He Qianqian, gently patting her back, softly comforting her. After comforting her, noticing that He Qianqian was still clinging to him, Lin Tian gently pushed her shoulders and reassured her again, "It''s okay, you''re safe now!" He Qianqian shook her head, still tightly embracing Lin Tian, even gripping him tighter because of his movement. Watching He Qianqian cling to him tightly, Lin Tian looked somewhat helpless. But he said nothing more, just held He Qianqian once again, gently patting her back. By then, Li Nian had also stood up on her own. Seeing He Qianqian clutching Lin Tian''s neck tightly, and Lin Tian''s face full of compassion, an involuntary feeling of envy arose in Li Nian''s heart. It took three or four minutes before He Qianqian finally loosened her hold on Lin Tian. After He Qianqian let go, Lin Tian noticed her eyes seemed a bit red, with tears still swirling in them. Seeing the tears in her eyes, Lin Tian felt a pang in his heart and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiling, "Why the tears? This isn''t the Ms. He I remember." "I''ll cry if I want! What''s it to you?!" He Qianqian glared at him with her red eyes. "Alright, alright, I won''t interfere!" Lin Tian quickly pleaded, smiling. A little moodiness in a woman can be quite endearing. After comforting He Qianqian, Lin Tian then turned to Li Nian and asked, "Are you okay?" Seeing Lin Tian finally paying attention to her, Li Nian gave Lin Tian a cold look, said discontentedly, "You finally remembered me? How kind of you to concern yourself!" "Yo? Do I detect a strong scent of jealousy here?" Lin Tian chuckled upon hearing this. "Where... where is it!" Li Nian''s face reddened, her expression somewhat embarrassed. She didn''t even know why she said that; she didn''t mean to say it, but the words just came out differently. Grinning, Lin Tian glanced at Li Nian and thought she might have feelings for him? Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Tian''s mouth slightly curled up. "Ah!" Just as Lin Tian was contemplating whether Li Nian had feelings for him, suddenly, a shouting voice reached his ears! Lin Tian turned his head and saw that all four of Zheng Xiaoqing''s group were struggling to stand up. Lin Tian didn''t intend to kill them; hence, his strikes weren''t deadly, and by now, these four men had recovered enough to stand up. However, even though he didn''t plan to kill them, Lin Tian wasn''t about to let them go, especially Zheng Xiaoqing. So, seeing Zheng Xiaoqing standing up again, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, and he swiftly walked over. "What are you doing?" Seeing Lin Tian coming towards him with a menacing air, Zheng Xiaoqing''s heart skipped a beat, his face full of panic, he said. He was genuinely afraid of Lin Tian now. Lin Tian didn''t speak, quickly came up to him, and slapped him across the face. Slap! With a loud slap, fresh blood spurted from Zheng Xiaoqing''s face. Slap! Lin Tian backhanded him another slap! Slap! Zheng Xiaoqing spit out more blood! Along with the blood, a bloody tooth flew out! "Slap!" Lin Tian mercilessly slapped him again! "Slap!" Yet another one! After several heavy slaps, because Zheng Xiaoqing''s face already had wounds, with Lin Tian''s blows, Zheng Xiaoqing''s facial wounds completely burst open, his face covered in blood. Dazed! Zheng Xiaoqing was completely stunned by Lin Tian! Seeing Lin Tian raising his hand again, Zheng Xiaoqing''s legs gave out, and he fell to his knees with a thud. "No... please, no more!" Zheng Xiaoqing pleaded with a face full of desperation. Because a few teeth had been knocked out, his speech was airy. "No more?" Lin Tian looked down at Zheng Xiaoqing kneeling on the ground, seeing his face full of supplication, and admitted he felt a moment of softness. But then he thought about Zheng Xiaoqing''s earlier actions and remembered that phrase ''old rules.'' Lin Tian''s anger was kindled anew. One could imagine what He Qianqian and the others would have gone through if not for his intervention, and from that phrase ''old rules,'' one could infer how many heinous deeds they had committed! Spare him? Could he spare him? No way! Chapter 204 Spank the butt if you dont obey! Crack!Following Lin Tian''s fierce collision! "Ahh¡ª!" Zheng Xiaoqing, already somewhat dazed from Lin Tian''s beating, suddenly let out a scream. "I, I won''t let you go!" Zheng Xiaoqing''s face contorted, his voice filled with resentment! "Won''t let me go?" While holding Zheng Xiaoqing with one hand, Lin Tian brought his face close, stared directly into his eyes, and said coldly, "If you dare come, you should be prepared to lose your life!" "You''re dead meat!" Zheng Xiaoqing glared at Lin Tian with a face full of resentment. It was as if he couldn''t wait to devour Lin Tian. "Hmph!" Hearing Zheng Xiaoqing''s voice, Lin Tian snorted coldly, paying him no mind. Just as Lin Tian was thinking of teaching Zheng Xiaoqing another lesson, Zheng Xiaoqing suddenly passed out! Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Looking at the unconscious Zheng Xiaoqing, Lin Tian snorted coldly and flung his hand! He casually tossed Zheng Xiaoqing onto the ground! After dealing with Zheng Xiaoqing and thinking of the other three, Lin Tian''s gaze slowly swept over them! Noticing Lin Tian''s looking their way, the trio''s hearts trembled, and a flash of fear crossed their pale faces! Thump! All three instantly knelt down! "Please... please spare us!" Old Cao said, trembling, then slapped himself across the face with a smack! "Please spare us!" As he spoke, he gave himself another harsh slap! After slapping himself, he then kowtowed forcefully to Lin Tian! Then another slap, followed by another kowtow! Old Cao''s whole body was shaking! The way Lin Tian had rendered Zheng Xiaoqing''s manhood useless earlier terrified him; he didn''t want the same to happen to himself! Seeing Old Cao like this, the other two men were startled for a moment but then hurriedly began kowtowing and slapping their own faces! This scene left Ma Liang, still kneeling on the ground, dumbfounded! This, this... These three were so self-disciplined that it took even Lin Tian by surprise! Clearly not holding back, they slapped themselves hard enough to bleed from the mouth and swell their foreheads! Lin Tian swept his cold gaze over the three men, snorted, and then turned to walk toward the two girls. He took one girl by the hand and said, "Let''s go!" "Mhm!" The two girls obediently nodded their heads and followed behind Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian and the two girls leave, Ma Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly got up and chased after them, calling out loudly, "Wait for me..." Lin Tian paused in his stride and sharply turned around! Ma Liang got a fright, looked at Lin Tian, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I''ll come with you all!" Lin Tian stared at Ma Liang coldly and said icily, "Scram!" "I..." Ma Liang wanted to say something else, but swept by Lin Tian''s icy glare, he felt a tremor in his heart, and the rest of his words just couldn''t come out! Lin Tian snorted and walked off with the two girls! As they walked, Lin Tian asked, "Who is this guy anyway?" ``` "A new teacher at our school just wouldn''t stop pestering us to hang out. It would''ve been rude to refuse, so I just went with him. Who knew something like this would happen!" ... Back at school, in He Qianqian''s dorm, Lin Tian comforted the two girls for a while, and it wasn''t until noon that Lin Tian finally left! Leaving the school, Lin Tian thought for a moment and decided to go home first! After about fifteen minutes, Lin Tian arrived at the residential complex! Standing at the entrance to the stairwell of the complex, Lin Tian was about to go upstairs when suddenly, a flurry of footsteps came from above. Lin Tian looked up and saw Li Xiaomeng, dressed in a white dress, rushing down the stairs. At that time, Li Xiaomeng pouted, her face seemingly filled with frustration. "Xiaomeng? What''s wrong?" After glancing at Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian looked up and asked curiously. Li Xiaomeng gave Lin Tian a glance and, with a sullen face, didn''t respond, instead running past him with a pat-pat-pat of her feet. "Hmph! Annoying! Annoying!" From far away, Lin Tian still heard Li Xiaomeng''s huffy complaints from behind. Lin Tian smiled wryly, thought for a moment, and still turned around to walk toward Li Xiaomeng. Reaching the greenery area of the complex, Lin Tian saw Li Xiaomeng, head lightly bowed, murmuring complaints and fiercely sticking out her little foot to kick forward. Pat-pat! As Li Xiaomeng moved, a wave of leaves on the ground were kicked up by her actions. Woo~! The lightly yellow leaves were blown up by the wind, and Li Xiaomeng, not satisfied, fiercely kicked again. "Hmph, die! Die!" Li Xiaomeng stepped on the floating leaves, stomping them fiercely with her feet. "I''ll crush you! I''ll crush you!" Li Xiaomeng continually crushed the leaves under her feet, looking as if she wished she could tear them apart. Seeing Li Xiaomeng like this, Lin Tian felt speechless! Shaking his head, Lin Tian walked over and stood beside Li Xiaomeng, smiling as he watched her: "Miss Xiaomeng? Who''s bullying you?" "Hmph! It''s none of your business!" Li Xiaomeng glanced at Lin Tian and turned her head away in frustration. "Really? I can be pretty awesome, you know!" Lin Tian chuckled. "You!" Hearing Lin Tian''s voice, Li Xiaomeng snarled, turned her head, glared at Lin Tian with wide eyes, and angrily said, "Even you''re bullying me!" "Not at all!" Lin Tian looked genuinely surprised. "You''re bullying me! You''re bullying me!" Li Xiaomeng, face full of anger, quickly walked toward Lin Tian, approached him, stretched out her little foot, and kicked straight toward Lin Tian''s shin while cursing: "That''s for bullying me! That''s for bullying me!" "Pat-pat!" Li Xiaomeng''s feet landed on Lin Tian''s shins with each kick. Given Lin Tian''s abilities now, Li Xiaomeng''s actions hardly caused him any pain, so he simply watched as she kicked him. "Pat-pat!" After kicking several times, Li Xiaomeng noticed Lin Tian''s relaxed face and got even angrier, suddenly stretching out her foot to kick him hard! At first, Lin Tian didn''t care about this kick. But in a split second, his expression changed. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This little girl actually aimed at his ''little brother''! Lin Tian was startled and quickly dodged! "Hmph, see if you keep laughing at me, if I don''t teach you a lesson, you won''t learn!" Seeing Lin Tian''s panicked look, Li Xiaomeng placed her hands on her hips, a trace of triumph crossing her fair little face. Lin Tian, speechless, frowned and said, "Apologize right now! You can''t kick around here, got it!" "I won''t!" Li Xiaomeng turned her head, her small face completely defiant! "Apologize now! If you don''t, I''ll sell you!" Lin Tian threatened. "Hmph~!" Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly and lifted her foot for another kick. "You!" Lin Tian hastily stepped back. "Hey! Stop kicking!" Lin Tian quickly intervened. Pat-pat! Li Xiaomeng''s movements still didn''t cease. ``` Chapter 205 Li Xiaomeng Deflated! Feeling a slight pain in her buttocks, Li Xiaomeng''s accumulated grievances instantly erupted, and she burst into loud sobs:"Wuu wuu, even you are bullying me! You''re also bullying me!" "Uh..." Realizing Li Xiaomeng was really crying, Lin Tianyi was stunned, and then stopped his hand with an embarrassed look on his face. In fact, Lin Tian was only trying to tease Li Xiaomeng and hadn''t really hit her hard, but to his surprise, Li Xiaomeng just cried. "Oh, oh, okay, stop crying, stop crying, it''s my fault!" Seeing Li Xiaomeng crying, Lin Tian hurriedly put her down, trying to comfort her continuously. "Hmph!" Li Xiaomeng turned away, ignoring Lin Tian. "Alright, I was wrong, how about I buy you some chips?" Lin Tian tentatively asked. Hearing the word chips, Li Xiaomeng''s movements paused instantly. Seeing this scene, Lin Tian knew he had a chance and immediately said with a smile: "I''ll buy you lots of chips, okay!" "How many?" Li Xiaomeng asked, eyes slightly red. "How about a thousand bags?" Lin Tian said with a chuckle. "No way!" Li Xiaomeng shook her head immediately. "Then how many do you want!" "I want ten thousand bags, and you have to promise to get revenge for me!" Li Xiaomeng demanded directly. "Ten thousand bags is no problem, but you have to tell me first, what exactly am I avenging for you?" Lin Tian agreed right away about the chips; a million bags wouldn''t be an issue, let alone ten thousand. However, he needed to inquire about the revenge part first; if it were unreasonable, Lin Tian wouldn''t agree to it. "Are you going to agree or not!" Seeing Lin Tian''s hesitant reply, Li Xiaomeng looked dissatisfied. "You have to tell me what I''m avenging. I mean, if you didn''t do your homework and the teacher scolded you, I obviously couldn''t replace you to hit the teacher," Lin Tian said with a helpless look. "Hmph! You''re the one who didn''t do his homework!" Li Xiaomeng retorted coldly. "Then tell me what it''s all about!" Lin Tian asked. Li Xiaomeng seemed hesitant, as if unsure whether to talk about it. Seeing this, Lin Tian said directly, "If you don''t tell me, how am I supposed to know what to avenge for you?" After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaomeng finally spoke with some displeasure: "You have to teach a girl in our class a lesson for me." Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire "Why?" Lin Tian asked with a grin, looking at her. "She''s always mocking me! Saying that I''m a country girl with no taste and a pauper! She stole all my friends away!" Li Xiaomeng said angrily, her face aflame with rage at the thought. "Uh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaomeng with a bizarre expression. Li Xiaomeng was only twelve, still in elementary school, and such a little kid already had these kind of conflicts? In elementary school and already facing such comments? Lin Tian was taken aback. After a pause, Lin Tian asked, "Why is she targeting you? Or is she like this with everyone else?" "Of course not, I used to be the most popular in class. She''s jealous, so she used money to steal my friends away! She even wanted to hit me!" Li Xiaomeng said furiously. "Uh..." Lin Tian was speechless. Are these still elementary school students? Lin Tian was somewhat curious about who on earth was this child, already so domineering in elementary school. Glancing at Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian was now somewhat hesitant to take revenge for her. After all, this was just a conflict between kids, and it seemed rather excessive if he got involved. "Hey, are you going to help me or not!" Seeing the hesitation on Lin Tian''s face, Li Xiaomeng said impatiently. "I..." Lin Tian was just about to speak when suddenly, he paused. "Ding..." A synthetic electronic voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind. "Mission: Fulfill Li Xiaomeng''s desire, teach Wang Hong a lesson. Mission completion reward: One Supernatural Point. Note: This mission must be completed within three days; failure to complete within three days will be considered a failure!" "Hey, are you going to help me or not, stop playing dumb!" Seeing Lin Tian''s dazed expression, thinking he was feigning ignorance, Li Xiaomeng said with annoyance. Hearing Li Xiaomeng''s voice, Lin Tian snapped out of it and, looking at Li Xiaomeng with a confident smile, said: "Help! Definitely help!" The moment the mission voice sounded, Lin Tian was determined to help. Regardless of anything else, even just to get the Supernatural Point, he would help. Of course, he wasn''t going to actually hit Wang Hong or anything like that, but playing a prank was still an option! "That''s more like it!" Seeing Lin Tian agree so readily, Li Xiaomeng nodded in satisfaction. "Is your classmate''s family really rich?" Since he had a mission to complete, Lin Tian naturally wanted to gather some information first. Li Xiaomeng replied at once, "Her family is really rich!" After saying this, she waved her hand impatiently: "We''ll talk about this later, let''s handle the more important matter at hand." "What?" Lin Tian was astonished to hear that. What could be more urgent than this? "What do you think?" Li Xiaomeng gave Lin Tian a reproachful look. "Uh..." Lin Tian was startled, looking at Li Xiaomeng''s expression. It took him a while to catch on, and he tentatively asked, "Chips?" "Nonsense!" Li Xiaomeng gave Lin Tianyi a direct white eye. Hearing this, Lin Tian himself was speechless. Were the chips more important than that matter? Who was the one crying their eyes out just now? "Deserving of a higher-ranking foodie than Mengting, impressive!" Lin Tian muttered to himself. "What did you say!" Li Xiaomeng glared at Lin Tian with widened eyes. "Ah? No, nothing!" Lin Tian replied with a sheepish grin. "Hmph, you still haven''t snapped the chips, you owe me a hundred packs from last time!" Li Xiaomeng said with a sulky face. "Alright, alright, I''ll buy them for you, is that okay?" Lin Tian said with a speechless expression. "I''m going with you!" Upon hearing there were beloved chips to eat, Li Xiaomeng instantly became lively. "Right now?" Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaomeng with a stunned expression. "Nonsense, let''s go!" Saying that, Li Xiaomeng directly took Lin Tian''s hand and headed outside. Twenty minutes later, inside Wanda Plaza. Lin Tian, carrying a large bag in his left hand and another in his right, followed Li Xiaomeng with a resigned look: "Xiaomeng, let''s go back!" At that moment, Li Xiaomeng was holding an opened bag of vegetable-flavored chips in her left hand and a Cute Bear ice cream in her right, taking a bite of chips and then a lick of ice cream. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Xiaomeng firmly shook her head and said, "No! I want to play a bit more!" "Really, it''s fine, these chips can be stored at my place, you can come over and get them whenever you want!" Lin Tian said, feeling quite annoyed despite the bags not being heavy, one in each hand. After buying the chips, Li Xiaomeng insisted on not taking so many home, worried about what the family would say, and wanted to eat half of them before returning. Hearing Lin Tian urging her to go back, Li Xiaomeng pouted and said, "I don''t wanna!" Then, licking her lips, feeling they had dried a bit, she turned to Lin Tian and said, "Brother-in-law, I''m thirsty!" "The Coke is in the pocket on my right hand, just take it yourself!" Lin Tian said helplessly. Li Xiaomeng then took an unopened bottle of Coke from Lin Tian''s left pocket, unscrewed it, and took a big gulp. "Wow, refreshing!" The fizzy Coke gave Li Xiaomeng a thrilling sensation. Watching Li Xiaomeng speechlessly, and seeing her lips covered in white ice cream as she had just eaten it, Lin Tian said resignedly: "You''ve got ice cream on your mouth, wipe it clean. There''s a tissue in the pocket on my right hand." Li Xiaomeng then took a tissue from Lin Tian''s right pocket and wiped her mouth. After doing this, Li Xiaomeng looked up at Lin Tian with a giggly smile: "Brother-in-law, you''re so nice, muah!" Looking at Li Xiaomeng speechlessly, Lin Tian could only respond: "You too, Xiaomengmeng, adorable!" "Hehe..." Li Xiaomeng laughed, gazing at Lin Tian, revealing two rows of white, neat teeth with her smiling mouth. Li Xiaomeng, still with a giggly smile, beckoned Lin Tian: "Brother-in-law, bend down." "What for?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled. "Just bend down!" Li Xiaomeng pouted. "Ugh..." Lin Tian said, feeling at a loss, then slightly bent down. "Lower," Li Xiaomeng urged. Without a choice, Lin Tian bent down a bit more, getting closer to Li Xiaomeng. Seeing Lin Tian''s face so close, Li Xiaomeng''s beautiful big eyes spun around, and suddenly, she aimed her mouth directly at Lin Tian''s face to kiss him. "What are you doing!" Lin Tian exclaimed in surprise, hastily leaning back. "Cut it out, I was just trying to give you a reward!" Li Xiaomeng gave Lin Tian a direct white eye. Lin Tian, speechless, looked at Li Xiaomeng and said, "I''m not into lolis though!" "What the, I just wanted to give you a reward, you''re too full of yourself!" Li Xiaomeng rolled her eyes. "What do kids know!" Lin Tian bluffed. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "How could I not know, I even know about..." Li Xiaomeng looked disdainfully at Lin Tian. The look on her face seemed to say these things were no big deal. "Ugh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian was speechless again. Are the kids of the new generation all this incredible? Speechless, Lin Tian watched Li Xiaomeng, and then they played in the plaza for a while longer. During that time, Li Xiaomeng ate more than a dozen bags of chips, and finally, she was willing to agree to go back. The two were walking on the edge of the plaza, and just as Lin Tian was planning to hail a taxi, suddenly, a black Rolls-Royce slowly drove by. Eventually, the black Rolls-Royce smoothly stopped before Lin Tian. "Snap!" The car door opened, and a little girl in red clothes jumped out. "Li Xiaomeng!" As soon as she jumped out of the car, the little girl looked at Li Xiaomeng with a beaming smile. Her expression was somewhat arrogant and triumphant. Seeing this little girl, Li Xiaomeng''s face instantly darkened, full of displeasure. After glimpsing the girl, then looking at the girl in red, Lin Tian had a guess in his mind. This girl in red was likely the Wang Hong who had outsmarted Li Xiaomeng. Scanning the clothes on the girl, Lin Tian noticed she was wearing An Nai''er brand from head to toe. This brand was among the top luxury brands in children''s clothing. Another glance at the black Rolls-Royce behind her, Lin Tian was certain the girl''s family must be very well-off. While Lin Tian was appraising Wang Hong, she also turned her gaze to Lin Tian. After a glance at Lin Tian, Wang Hong''s eyes shifted to the bags he was holding. She then saw the chips in the two large bags. Two big bags full of chips. Seeing these two full bags of chips, Wang Hong turned to look at Li Xiaomeng, her mouth curving up to reveal a mocking smile. Chapter 206 Little Mengs Ride "Xiaomeng, are you so poor that you can only afford to eat chips? Do you want me to give you some?" Wang Hong spoke and Lin Tian furrowed his brows slightly!Originally, Lin Tian thought this girl might just be a bit bullish, which is normal for kids from wealthy families. But from the moment she started speaking, Lin Tian''s brows were knitted. Right from her opening words, there was nothing but full-on sarcasm and disdain. No, to be precise, it was full of malice. This was tantamount to malicious slander! Lin Tian felt uncomfortable, as the girl''s words had surpassed what he considered the bounds of cute and ignorant. Lin Tian really wanted to ask how this girl''s parents taught their child. "You!" Hearing Wang Hong''s words, Li Xiaomeng instantly became furious, her little face turning red. Puffing with anger at Wang Hong, Li Xiaomeng pointed at her and yelled: "Call that out again, and see if I don''t tear your mouth apart!" "Pfft! Come on then!" Wang Hong sneered, full of disdain. "Courting death!" Li Xiaomeng shouted angrily and briskly stepped forward, charging at Wang Hong. Smack! But before she took more than a few steps, suddenly, a shadow blocked Li Xiaomeng''s path. Li Xiaomeng looked up and saw a burly man in a black suit who was over six feet tall standing in her way. It was clear that he was Wang Hong''s bodyguard. S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Move!" Li Xiaomeng shouted angrily, trying to bypass him, but the bodyguard moved his body too, continuing to block her path. "Get lost!" Li Xiaomeng vented her fury, kicking toward his groin. But the bodyguard skillfully dodged. In the end, no matter how Li Xiaomeng tried, she couldn''t get past him. Seeing this, Li Xiaomeng panicked and quickly turned to Lin Tian, yelling, "Help!" "Uh¡­" Lin Tian stood by without making a move. Dealing with the bodyguard would have been a piece of cake for Lin Tian, but he didn''t want to intervene. After all, he couldn''t just watch Li Xiaomeng actually go ahead and fight. That''s not what Lin Tian wanted. So, seeing the bodyguard blocking Li Xiaomeng''s way was just what Lin Tian wished for. As long as the bodyguard didn''t overstep his boundaries, Lin Tian had no intention of stepping in. "Come over and help me!" Seeing Lin Tian''s indifference, Li Xiaomeng snapped. Li Xiaomeng knew how tough Lin Tian was; she had seen him fight before. But what made her angry was that Lin Tian, this guy, was just standing there watching the commotion. What happened to the promised help? Thinking about this, Li Xiaomeng became even more infuriated, her anger mixed with a hint of grievance. Seeing Li Xiaomeng''s somewhat aggrieved face, Wang Hong, who was hiding behind the bodyguard, chuckled smugly: "How''s that? See how powerful I am? Is that your brother-in-law? Just a loser!" With that, Wang Hong unabashedly swept Lin Tian a look. Loser! Hearing this word, Lin Tian almost couldn''t restrain himself from retorting, but in the end, he held back, she''s just a child. I''ll endure! I can''t possibly stoop to arguing with an eleven or twelve-year-old kid. Seeing that Lin Tian remained silent, Wang Hong seemed even more smug, raising her little head, pridefully looking at Li Xiaomeng: "See? I talk about him like that and he doesn''t dare to make a sound! But I still prefer you; I don''t like losers!" Loser, again with the loser! Lin Tian was speechless. "Lin Tian, are you going to help or not, you said you would help me!" Seeing no reaction from Lin Tian, Li Xiaomeng turned her head and shouted angrily. Driven by her Vitality, she stopped calling him brother-in-law and used Lin Tian''s name directly. Lin Tian glanced at the fuming Li Xiaomeng before turning to look at Wang Hong. He thought of the mission he had received before. The mission was to teach Wang Hong a lesson. Of course, ''teaching a lesson'' didn''t mean Lin Tian could physically assault someone, especially not a twelve-year-old girl. But ''teaching a lesson'' didn''t just involve force; there were many other ways. Glancing at the An Nai''er on Wang Hong''s body and then at the Rolls-Royce behind the girl, an idea flashed through Lin Tian''s mind. But before that, Lin Tian needed to confirm one thing, so he turned to Li Xiaomeng and asked, "Is this the person who bullied you?" "It''s her!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Xiaomeng''s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously. There might be a show; her brother-in-law was going to make a move. "What''s her name?" Lin Tian asked, giving Wang Hong, who looked proud, a quick glance. "Her name is Wang Hong!" Li Xiaomeng swiftly replied. "Good! I got it," Lin Tian said, nodding slightly. Relieved by Li Xiaomeng''s response, Lin Tian was glad that at least he had the right person. The last thing Lin Tian wanted was to go through all this trouble only to target the wrong person. With that in mind, Lin Tian started walking towards Wang Hong. Snap~! Suddenly, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks. A bodyguard dressed in a black suit reached out and blocked Lin Tian. Lin Tian glanced at the bodyguard with a cold face, then looked up at Wang Hong a short distance away. Without insisting, he stood still and smiled gently at her: "What makes you so smug? Just because you have money?" "That''s right! I have money! Do you?" Wang Hong said with a look of pride, lifting her little head while speaking. "Heh..." Lin Tian shook his head with a light chuckle, thought for a moment, then turned and walked toward Li Xiaomeng. He came to Li Xiaomeng, bent down, and whispered something in her ear. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Li Xiaomeng''s eyes widened, her face a mix of shock and doubt. After speaking, Lin Tian glanced at the shocked Li Xiaomeng, patted her shoulder encouragingly, and said, "Don''t worry, trusting me is the right choice!" Hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaomeng finally gritted her teeth, turned to Wang Hong and said, "Wang Hong, I want to compete with you!" "Compete in what!" Wang Hong glanced at Li Xiaomeng. "Let''s see whose ride is more impressive!" Li Xiaomeng shouted, but why did her tone seem somewhat lacking in confidence? "Ride?" Wang Hong was taken aback, then broke into laughter and mocked, "Talk to me when you can afford a car. Don''t tell me you brought your broken bicycle!" "Hmph! Enough talk! Are we competing or not!" Li Xiaomeng retorted coldly. Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "Let''s compete, then. What if you lose?" Wang Hong asked. "Whoever loses from now on has to listen to the winner!" "Okay!" Wang Hong nodded immediately. After saying that, Wang Hong looked at Li Xiaomeng and said, "Where''s your ''ride''? It''s not just your two legs, is it? Haha!" "Hmph, of course not! You''ll see soon enough!" Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly. Meanwhile, Lin Tian moved a few steps away and made a phone call. After making the call, Lin Tian came back. Glancing at him, Wang Hong turned to the bodyguard and said: "Call Uncle Wang to bring over that limited-edition sports car my dad keeps hidden, and also invite over my classmates from home. Let everyone see what kind of ride Xiaomeng has!" Wang Hong said this with a look of disdain. She couldn''t believe there would be anything better than her dad''s limited-edition sports car. She wanted to call her classmates over to give Li Xiaomeng a proper embarrassment! Chapter 207 Arrogant Ride! About fifteen minutes later, a black Lamborghini sports car, full of sleek lines, slowly made its way over.As the Lamborghini approached, instantly, everyone''s gaze turned in its direction. There was no helping it; the car was too cool, with its smooth lines and color, clearly a luxury item at first glance. The entire car looked very comfortable to the eye. Even those who knew nothing about cars could tell at a glance that this was not a cheap vehicle. Slowly, the black Lamborghini came to a stop behind the Rolls-Royce. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As soon as the car stopped, the doors immediately opened, and three girls got out. One of the girls, with her hair in a ponytail, looked at Wang Hong with excitement: "Wang Hong, your car is amazing, it''s so comfortable to sit in!" After speaking, as if she realized something, her expression froze, she saw Li Xiaomeng not far away. Seeing Li Xiaomeng, the girl''s face turned embarrassed, she slightly turned her head away, seemingly a little ashamed. "Humph!" Seeing this girl, Li Xiaomeng snorted coldly, her face full of disdain! After sweeping a glance over the two girls, Lin Tian smiled faintly. From their expressions, Lin Tian guessed that the girl probably used to be good friends with Li Xiaomeng but ended up being poached by Wang Hong. After looking at the two girls, Lin Tian didn''t say much; after all, it was just a kids'' issue. Seeing her three classmates arrive, Wang Hong looked at them with pride and lifted her chin, "Of course, this is a limited edition Lamborghini, only five in the whole world!" After finishing, Wang Hong looked at Li Xiaomeng with a mocking face, "By the way, where''s your ''ride''? It''s not really just your two legs, is it!" "What happened?" At that moment, a classmate beside her asked. Hearing the classmate''s question, the mockery on Wang Hong''s face intensified as she laughed disdainfully at Li Xiaomeng, "She wanted to compete with me about who has the better ride. She even said I couldn''t compare to her, ridiculous!" The girl glanced at Li Xiaomeng and then pursed her lips dismissively, "What does she have, anyway? Just a broken bicycle!" "Exactly, exactly!" Another girl beside her nodded in agreement. "Poor thing, where''s your ''ride''? You don''t have one, do you? If it doesn''t show up, I''ve already won!" Wang Hong looked at Li Xiaomeng triumphantly. "I have a plane! It''s much more impressive than yours!" Li Xiaomeng said indignantly. "Hah?" Hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, Wang Hong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "I''m dying of laughter, you have a plane? Get lost! You mean ''paper plane'' at best!" Wang Hong mocked. "Exactly, shameless!" Wang Hong''s two other girlfriends also scoffed. "Hump! No, it''s not!" Li Xiaomeng puffed up her cheeks indignantly. "Then bring it out! A plane, oh, I''m so scared!" Wang Hong said sarcastically. "You..." Li Xiaomeng glared at Wang Hong, wanting to say something, but she didn''t know what to say because the plane Lin Tian mentioned hadn''t really come. Thinking of this, Li Xiaomeng turned to look at Lin Tian with a questioning face. Noticing Li Xiaomeng''s look, Lin Tian smiled and nodded, "It''ll be here very soon, two more minutes at most!" "Acting all high and mighty, a plane!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Hong rolled her eyes in disdain. After glancing at this somewhat unruly girl, Lin Tian didn''t speak. Lin Tian noticed that the bodyguard standing by her also had a slight look of disdain. The bodyguard also didn''t believe Lin Tian''s words. A plane? Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire How could that be possible? Putting aside whether one could afford to buy a plane, even if you had one, could you just casually fly it into a bustling city center? Even the mayor doesn''t have this much power! Lin Tian glanced at the disdain on his bodyguard''s face, gave a slight smile, patted his shoulder, and chuckled, "Brother? You don''t believe me either?" Brushing Lin Tian''s hand off his shoulder, the bodyguard didn''t say anything, but his dismissive look made it clear that he didn''t believe a word Lin Tian said. He thought Lin Tian was trying to show off. Noticing the bodyguard''s scorn, Lin Tian didn''t say anything, just smiled and stood his ground, waiting. After about ten seconds, Lin Tian suddenly spoke up, "Here it comes!" "Huh?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, everyone at the scene was startled and looked up to the sky. But there was nothing in the sky but the vast expanse of blue. No sign of the so-called airplane. Seeing this, Wang Hong looked at Lin Tian with disdain and mocked him: "Where''s the airplane? The one you were talking about? Do you think we''re idiots?" After speaking, Wang Hong turned to Li Xiaomeng and scoffed: "No wonder you''re so dumb, having an idiot for a brother-in-law. But being dumb isn''t your fault, making a public fool of yourself is!" "It''s coming!" Lin Tian said once again. "Coming my ass! Do you think everyone here is a fool! If it really shows up, I''ll eat the airplane whole!" Wang Hong cursed Lin Tian openly, full of disdain. "Heh..." Lin Tian shook his head, speechless. Seeing Lin Tian shake his head, Wang Hong mocked him, "What? Don''t you dare? If it really comes, I''ll eat the airplane! You..." Suddenly, mid-sentence, Wang Hong paused, a look of disbelief flashing across her face. "Whoosh whoosh..." Out of nowhere, the sound of helicopter blades whirling began to echo. The sound grew closer and closer. At the noise, everyone was taken aback. After a moment of stunned silence, all heads tilted back to gaze at the sky. "Whoosh whoosh..." Accompanied by the sound of helicopter blades, a blue helicopter, about ten meters long, slowly appeared from the horizon. "Whoosh whoosh..." As the helicopter neared, those standing below could feel gusts of strong wind from the rotor blades above. As the helicopter began to descend, everyone around cleared the way, leaving a hundred-meter-wide clearing. Whoosh whoosh~! Seeing the clearing, the helicopter began its descent. Staring dumbfounded at the slowly descending helicopter, Wang Hong''s face was a picture of shock, hardly able to believe what she saw. A real airplane was actually coming? Catching a glimpse of the shocked Wang Hong, Lin Tian smiled slightly: "Weren''t you saying you''d eat this airplane? Would you like to do it now?" "..." Wang Hong bit her red lip, her face a mix of embarrassment and difficulty believing that a plane had actually come. Grinning at her, feeling that the time was right, Lin Tian then took the excited Li Xiaomeng''s hand and said with a smile, "Come on, let''s board the plane!" With that, Lin Tian took Li Xiaomeng towards the airplane. As Lin Tian escorted Li Xiaomeng onto the airplane, it started up once more. Watching the airplane rise into the air, seeing Li Xiaomeng''s excited smiling face inside, Wang Hong felt irritated, thoroughly exasperated. "Wow, we''re so high up!" Sitting in the helicopter, Li Xiaomeng exclaimed excitedly, her cheeks flushed with thrill. She couldn''t believe that an airplane had actually come. Lin Tian smiled as he watched, and simultaneously, he sent half of his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. "Ding..." As Lin Tian''s consciousness entered the Sea of Consciousness, an electronic synthesized voice sounded: "Mission: To help Li Xiaomeng teach Wang Hong a lesson has been completed. Reward: one Superpower Point." With this voice, Lin Tian immediately felt an additional Superpower Point within his Sea of Consciousness. Chapter 208 Good Benefits! Having completed his task, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. This helicopter had been arranged by Lin Tian himself, who made a call to Zhong Guo; then, through Zhong Liting''s father''s connections, he managed to acquire it!If not for that, it really would have been inconvenient! But completing the task was all that mattered! He took Li Xiaomeng for a spin in the sky, then brought her back down to the ground! After dropping Li Xiaomeng off at home, Lin Tian immediately hailed a taxi back to school! An hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of Wu''an University. He got out, paid the driver, and then Lin Tian stepped out of the car. Walking through the school gates, Lin Tian glanced at the pretty female students coming and going and felt a burst of contentment, tossing his head back nonchalantly and said to himself with a narcissistic tone, "Ladies, your brother is back!" Feeling self-admired, Lin Tian walked towards the school with light, brisk steps. Passing by the 14th building of the female dorms, Lin Tian paused for a moment and instinctively glanced at the building. Lin Tian remembered that Shen Mengyi lived in this dormitory. Thinking of Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian muttered to himself, "I haven''t seen this girl for so long, I wonder if she''s been thinking about me!" The thought of Shen Mengyi conjured her charming face in Lin Tian''s mind. Licking his tongue, Lin Tian took out his phone from his pocket, opened the address book, hesitated for a moment, but eventually, Lin Tian put the phone back. And continued on his way to his dorm room. However, after just a few steps, Lin Tian suddenly stopped. Lin Tian turned his head slightly, his expression taking aback as an electronic synthesized voice rang out in his mind: "Task: Fulfill Shen Mengyi''s wish by helping her carry water to the female dorms. Reward for completing the task: One Supernatural Point. Note: This task must be completed within five minutes; failure to complete within the specified time will be considered a failure!" The moment Lin Tian heard the task announcement, he was startled. A task? A task had arrived? Where was Shen Mengyi right now? Lin Tian immediately began looking around. According to his understanding of the system, such sudden tasks usually meant the person issuing the task wasn''t far from him. Glancing around, Lin Tian immediately saw a flickering human-shaped red dot in the lobby on the first floor of the 14th building of the female dormitory. That was the task''s flashing red light. Seeing the red light, Lin Tian was certain that Shen Mengyi was there. After a moment''s thought, Lin Tian walked in. In the lobby on the first floor of the 14th female dorm building, Shen Mengyi and her roommate Li Wenting were anxiously waiting. "Why is it taking so long? Didn''t the water delivery say it would be here in ten minutes? It''s been almost half an hour now!" Shen Mengyi said, glancing at her phone impatiently. "Seriously, what''s taking them so long?" Li Wenting was equally displeased. At the feet of the two girls were two large Run Tian mineral water jugs. Many people at the school bought this kind of water jug, and normally, a designated person delivered it directly to the dormitory entrance. However, the man responsible today had an urgent matter and said he would come next time. But Shen Mengyi''s room had run out of water, and with an urgent need, she asked him to deliver it now. The man really had an emergency, said he would be there in ten minutes, and asked the girls to wait. Reluctantly, Shen Mengyi and her roommate had no choice but to wait. Who knew that nearly twenty minutes would pass and the man still hadn''t arrived. The two girls couldn''t lift the heavy jugs of water, leaving them with no option but to wait, and waiting was the most irksome thing! After waiting some more, Li Wenting couldn''t wait any longer and turned to Shen Mengyi, "Why don''t we call someone to carry it up for us?" Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Who are you going to call?" Shen Mengyi gave her a glance. "That Lin Tian guy. Last time, I heard Zhang Li say that when you and he were stuck in the gym because of the heavy rain, Lin Tian appeared out of nowhere. Maybe he''ll show up again right now!" Li Wenting said with a grin. "Pfft! As if!" Shen Mengyi gave her a dismissive look. How could Lin Tian possibly show up again? Besides, she hadn''t been in contact with him for a few days. "What if he actually does appear? There could be a miracle!" Li Wenting said teasingly. Despite saying so, Li Wenting didn''t believe it either; she was just teasing Shen Mengyi. "If he really does appear, I''ll confess to him! Are you happy now?" Shen Mengyi said irritably. "Really?" Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from the door. Hearing the voice, both girls were stunned, turning their heads to look toward the entrance. As they turned, they saw Lin Tian walking in with a beaming smile. Staring at Shen Mengyi, who was somewhat dazed, Lin Tian stepped forward, stopped in front of her, and looked at her meaningfully: "What was it you said just now? Did you want to confess to me?" "You... how did you get here?" Shen Mengyi asked, looking at Lin Tian in astonishment. Lin Tian''s sudden appearance was beyond her expectations. Lin Tian chuckled: "When the goddess calls, of course, I have to come over!" As he spoke, Lin Tian raised his eyebrows playfully. "Such a smooth talker!" Shen Mengyi rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, her face full of discontent, "Your goddess must be Mengting!" "Uh..." Lin Tian laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. From the moment Lin Tian appeared, Li Wenting had been examining him closely. Doubtfully scrutinizing Lin Tian, Li Wenting said, "You''re not so impressive either. How did my little Mengyi fall for you? And I heard the freshman year campus belle is your girlfriend? You have that much charm? Can''t see it!" Li Wenting was originally very curious about Lin Tian. She was curious what kind of guy could make the picky Shen Mengyi constantly think of him, what kind of guy could be the boyfriend of freshman year campus belle Bu Mengting. In Li Wenting''s mind, Lin Tian was supposed to be outstanding, but now that she saw him, she couldn''t help but be greatly disappointed. Ordinary! Lin Tian seemed too ordinary. Not tall, at most 1.75 meters. And he didn''t seem particularly robust either. Most importantly, Lin Tian wasn''t handsome at all. He was just average. Li Wenting was greatly disappointed in Lin Tian and also felt it was a pity for Shen Mengyi as there were many boys chasing after her who were much better than Lin Tian. She couldn''t understand why Shen Mengyi would take a liking to this ordinary kid. Noticing the disappointment and skepticism in Li Wenting''s eyes, Lin Tian didn''t care and merely smiled: "My excellence can''t be explained in just a few words. It''s an inner beauty!" With that, Lin Tian grinned, showing a row of white teeth. "Yeah, right!" Seeing Lin Tian''s shamelessly boastful look, Li Wenting rolled her eyes. Unable to bear seeing Lin Tian so smug, Li Wenting said annoyedly: "Mr. Inner Beauty, since you''re so amazing, then please help us carry these two water buckets upstairs. One in each hand won''t be a problem for you, right?" After saying that, Li Wenting paused, afraid Lin Tian would back out, and added: "Since you said you''re that capable, then show us." "Uh..." Lin Tian glanced at the mineral water buckets at the girls'' feet. Each bucket probably weighed about fifty kilos, which of course was a breeze for Lin Tian with his strength. But at this moment, Lin Tian deliberately showed a hint of hesitation and embarrassment on his face. Noticing the hesitation on Lin Tian''s face, Li Wenting chuckled and provocatively said: Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire "Can you do it or not? I have a picture of little Mengyi without her clothes. If you succeed, I''ll let you see it!" "Really?" Lin Tian''s eyes lit up at these words. "Wenting, you haven''t deleted that photo yet?" Shen Mengyi was startled upon hearing this and her face turned red. After speaking, she quickly said to Lin Tian: "Don''t listen to her nonsense, there''s no such photo!" Meanwhile, Li Wenting, who was next to them, ignored Shen Mengyi and said to Lin Tian: "Hurry up, I have it here. If you do it, I''ll let you see it, okay?" As she spoke, Li Wenting looked at Lin Tian with a mischievous smile. "Are you sure?" Lin Tian asked Li Wenting, his eyes sparkling. Pictures without clothes, that''s what Lin Tian liked the most! "Of course, hurry up," Li Wenting encouraged with a confident expression. "I see¡­" Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Wenting with a playful grin, a hint of slyness flickering in his eyes: "Not only do I want Mengyi''s picture without clothes, but I also want yours. Would you dare to give it to me?" "You..." Li Wenting was taken aback by his words. Then seeing the smile on Lin Tian''s face, Li Wenting''s eyes shifted, and she nodded immediately: "No problem!" Li Wenting agreed quickly because she thought Lin Tian couldn''t do it and used this method to make him back down. If that''s the case, I''ll turn the tables on him! Li Wenting thought to herself. After speaking, Li Wenting looked at Lin Tian with an amused face, anticipating his embarrassment. But Lin Tian''s next action stunned Li Wenting. Lin Tian walked straight to the two water buckets and pointing at them, he asked Li Wenting, "Were you serious about what you said earlier?" After a moment of hesitation, Li Wenting nodded. "That''s good!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, then reached out and effortlessly picked up one bucket of mineral water with one hand. As simple as lifting two dolls, so easily! "You..." Seeing Lin Tian easily lift the two water buckets, Li Wenting''s eyes widened. Ease! Lin Tian looked completely at ease; the fifty-kilo buckets of water seemed as light as two one-kilo bottles in his hands. "Let''s go!" Lin Tian turned his head and chuckled, then started walking towards the dormitory. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, the doorkeeper auntie immediately looked over. "Auntie, I''m delivering water; I''ll be right back down!" Lin Tian said upon seeing the doorkeeper auntie. The doorkeeper auntie glanced at the two buckets of water in Lin Tian''s hands, then nodded: "Make it quick!" Lin Tian responded and then proceeded to walk upstairs. Seeing Lin Tian casually carrying a bucket of water in each hand, the two girls paused for a second, then quickly followed. Holding the mineral water with one hand, Lin Tian turned his head and asked the girls, "Which dorm room is it?" "316!" Shen Mengyi promptly replied. At this moment, Li Wenting still had her eyes wide open, looking at Lin Tian. She couldn''t have imagined that in Lin Tian''s seemingly frail body lay such immense strength. At this point, Li Wenting''s thoughts were a mess! What if Lin Tian really did it? Was she really going to give him her picture without clothes? This, this... Chapter 209 With a disturbed mood, Li Wenting followed behind Lin Tian!Meanwhile, Lin Tian, carrying a bucket in one hand, ascended to the third floor with ease. Carrying the bucket, Lin Tian still had the mood to look around curiously. Upon reaching the third-floor corridor, Lin Tian''s gaze frequently shifted toward the girls'' dorm rooms that had their doors open. He hoped to catch a glimpse of a girl undressed! This was the mysterious girls'' dormitory, after all! Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire Suddenly, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks, his eyes lighting up slightly! He saw a pure-looking girl taking off her top, seemingly changing her clothes! What a treat! Lin Tian''s eyes sparkled! But in the next moment, the girl hesitated, looking in astonishment at Lin Tian outside! Startled, the girl screamed and cursed at him, calling him a pervert! Then, with a bang, she shut the dorm room door! "Hmph!" Suddenly, Lin Tian heard two cold snorts from behind! Turning his head, Lin Tian saw Shen Yiran and Li Wenting looking at him disdainfully! "That... that was a misunderstanding!" Lin Tian awkwardly chuckled! "Let''s go!" Shen Yiran, annoyed, gave Lin Tian a cold glance! Lin Tian could only awkwardly move forward! Nevertheless, Lin Tian still occasionally glanced around, hopeful to see a treat! "This is it, okay, don''t walk past it!" Seeing Lin Tian walking with the water, looking left and right, almost walking past her own dormitory, Shen Mengyi behind him commented in annoyance. "Pervert! Still so lecherous!" Shen Mengyi muttered through gritted teeth. She was really annoyed by Lin Tian''s lecherous demeanor. "Oh? Here?" Hearing Shen Mengyi''s words, Lin Tian paused, looked up, and sure enough, he saw "316" written above the door frame of the dormitory on the left. Seeing 316, Lin Tian walked in. Upon entering, Lin Tian''s gaze swept across the room. Looking around, he immediately saw two girls engrossed in something on a computer. One of the girls he recognized¡ªit was the same girl who had been with Shen Mengyi at the sports center when he delivered the umbrella to her. After glancing at the two girls, Lin Tian immediately set the two buckets of water on the floor. "Clack!" The water made a soft noise as it hit the ground. "Ah~!" Startled by the sudden sound, both girls watching the computer jumped, their bodies stiffening. After a moment, the two girls hurriedly turned around. Seeing Lin Tian, both girls looked taken aback. Seeing the surprised expressions on the girls'' faces, Lin Tian glanced at Zhang Li and cheerfully waved his hand. "Hi! We meet again!" "You are?" Zhang Li looked at Lin Tian, confused. "The one who brought you and Shen Mengyi umbrellas last time, remember?" Lin Tian said cheerfully. "Oh! It''s you!" Hearing this, Zhang Li instantly recalled. It was late that day, and although Lin Tian had left a strong impression, Zhang Li couldn''t quite remember his face. But upon Lin Tian''s reminder, she instantly made the connection. "What brings you here?" Zhang Li asked curiously, looking at Lin Tian. "I came to deliver water!" Lin Tian smiled lightly, then his gaze shifted over the girls'' shoulders to the computer, curious, "What are you watching? It seemed really intense just now." sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Speaking, Lin Tian''s gaze shifted toward the computer. After a glance, Lin Tian realized the two girls were probably watching a movie. Focusing on the screen for a few seconds, a realization flashed through Lin Tian''s mind. A horror film! The two girls were actually watching a horror film. No wonder they were so jumpy at just a little noise. He remembered the film; it was Japan''s "Sadako." The scene where Sadako climbs out of the TV had also startled Lin Tian the first time. "What are you watching?" Just then, Shen Mengyi and Li Wenting also walked in. "We''re watching ''Sadako''!" Zhang Li replied. Hearing Zhang Li''s words, Shen Mengyi looked at Zhang Li with an expression of disbelief: "Watching a horror film again, you get so scared but still love watching this stuff, I can''t deal with you!" "It''s thrilling!" Zhang Li chuckled. After rolling her eyes at Zhang Li, Shen Mengyi shook her head and said nothing, then turned to Lin Tian: "Alright, thank you, you can go now." Shen Mengyi didn''t give Lin Tian a friendly look. Shen Mengyi was annoyed by Lin Tian''s behavior earlier, appearing lecherous. "Uh¡­" Lin Tian was speechless upon hearing Shen Mengyi''s prompt dismissal. Even the water he brought wasn''t offered a sip, a bit excessive. Most importantly, the promised treat still hadn''t been given! Lin Tian rolled his eyes, sat down, crossed his legs, and said to Li Wenting: "Girl, I''ve carried the water up here, shouldn''t you fulfill your promise now!" "What? I don''t know what you''re talking about!" Li Wenting turned her head away, pretending to be clueless! "What promise?" Hearing the conversation between the two, the nearby Zhang Li asked curiously! "Well¡­" Lin Tian smiled slyly, glanced at Li Wenting, and said: "Earlier this girl promised me that if I carried the water up here, she would show me pictures of Yiran undressed! And hers too!" "What?" Zhang Li and the other female student were momentarily stunned! After a moment, Zhang Li, eager to sow chaos, exclaimed loudly: "Yes, yes! Hurry, I want to see too! Hehe!" Shen Yiran looked on coldly from the side. Seeing Lin Tian with his legs crossed, looking carefree, she immediately couldn''t hold back her anger! Taking a deep breath, Shen Yiran walked to the front of her bed, grabbed her white pillow, and forcefully threw it at Lin Tian''s head: "Get out! You scoundrel! Still want to see photos! Pervert!" "Uh, uh¡­" Lin Tian kept backing up, hit by the pillow! He looked speechless! As Shen Yiran struck him, a faint scent occasionally emanated from the pillow! It was Shen Yiran''s scent! Chapter 210 What a Genius! Lin Tianyi looked speechless, touched his nose, and muttered:"So fierce! Who would want such a mannish woman! But the touch just now wasn''t too bad! Hehe..." After mumbling to himself, Lin Tian headed towards the dormitory building. On his way down, he had planned to see if there were any perks to catch! Unfortunately, the girls were all very conservative, and Lin Tian didn''t see anything worthwhile. He could only leave disappointed! "Lin Tian!" Just as he walked out from underneath the girls'' dormitory building, a familiar voice rang out next to his ear! Upon hearing this voice, Lin Tian paused in his steps, a trace of embarrassment crossing his face! When Lin Tian turned around, he saw Bu Mengting looking at him with a puzzled expression! In Bu Mengting''s hand was a hot water kettle, clearly she was on her way to fetch some hot water! "Ah, Mengting, what are you doing here?" Lin Tian said with an awkward smile! "Shouldn''t I be the one asking you that?" Bu Mengting huffed coldly, glancing at the girls'' dormitory behind Lin Tian and said with an unhappy face: Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire "How come you''re coming out of the girls'' dormitory?" "Oh, a female classmate needed to move some stuff, so I just helped out a bit!" Lin Tian said offhandedly! "Really? It must be that Shen Yiran from your class, right?" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes at Lin Tian and pursed her lips! "How could it be? Are you going to fetch water? Come on, let your husband take care of this for you! Let''s go!" Saying that, Lin Tian took the kettle from Bu Mengting''s hand and then grabbed her small hand with his other hand to walk forward! "Hey, you haven''t answered my question from earlier!" Far away, Bu Mengting''s voice of discontent drifted over! "The question from earlier is already in the past. By the way, girl, do you want to go to a hotel with me tonight?" ... The next day, Lin Tian and his roommates went to class together! In the morning, Lin Tian and his classmates had only two sessions of class, both on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ding ding... The bell rang for a while, but everyone noticed the teacher still hadn''t arrived. "Why hasn''t he come yet? Where''s the teacher?" The students were all puzzled. Lin Tian was also somewhat bewildered. Under normal circumstances, teachers always arrived early, so why hadn''t the teacher arrived even though class had started? Lin Tian remembered that their Traditional Chinese Medicine teacher was supposed to be a middle-aged man with a slight bald spot. Just as everyone was in doubt, suddenly, a beautiful figure walked in from outside. Seeing this person, everyone in the room went silent instantly. Such a beautiful young woman! After glancing over the students, Wang Yan apologized with a smile: "Sorry, I got held up by something just now. Your teacher Mr. Wang is unavailable today, so I''ll be taking over the next two sessions for you all. Let''s learn together. My name is Wang Yan." With that said, Wang Yan turned around and wrote her name on the blackboard. Seeing this woman, Lin Tian was also quite surprised. Wang Yan appeared to be in her thirties, not exceptionally beautiful, simply above average, yet she had a unique charm about her that made her very attractive. This was something young girls lacked. That distinct aroma of a mature woman. Furthermore, Lin Tian found that Wang Yan was the type who grew on you the more you looked. Ogling Wang Yan''s slightly round face, Lin Tian thought to himself: "A very flavorful woman." The longer he watched, the more appealing Wang Yan became to Lin Tian, much like a fine wine that grows more fragrant with each taste. Thanks to his photographic memory and superb understanding, Lin Tian usually needed to listen only once to remember, and didn''t even need to look down at the book. Lin Tian listened quietly to the class, occasionally glancing at Wang Yan. Wang Yan''s beauty lay not in her looks, but in the aura that surrounded her. As Lin Tian watched quietly, he realized he was developing a fondness for Wang Yan. It wasn''t romantic affection, but rather a very good impression of a person. "Ding ding..." Unaware of the time passing, the bell signaling the end of class rang. Upon hearing the class bell, Lin Tian was shocked to realize that the two sessions had flown by unnoticed. "Class is over?" Lin Tian was surprised. When the bell rang again, and Lin Tian saw Wang Yan leaving the classroom with her teaching materials, he realized that the two sessions had ended. "Let''s head out, go back!" While Lin Tian was sitting in his seat, slightly dazed, his roommates had already stood up, holding their textbooks and speaking to Lin Tian. As Guo Rong and the others spoke, the rest of the classmates were already getting up and heading out. There were only two Traditional Chinese Medicine classes that morning. School was out now. "Eh..." Seeing the others, Lin Tian paused for a moment, then stuffed his Chinese medicine book into the drawer and stood up. "Wang Yan is quite attractive, very charismatic!" "She looks okay, but it''s mainly the charm she exudes, it''s enchanting." "Right, right, the more you look, the more you like her. Who knows if she''ll teach us again in the future." sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Didn''t she say? She was just substituting. She won''t be coming again." "Pity. By the way, do you guys know which department she teaches in? We could go to their class to listen." "How would I know that? If I did, I''d be there already, having such a beautiful teacher is a treat for the eyes," Guo Rong said with a grin. "Hey, look!" Suddenly, Feng Jiabao exclaimed, pointing ahead in surprise. Hearing Feng Jiabao''s voice, the others immediately followed the direction he was pointing. Looking over, he saw Wang Yan sitting alone on a bench under a willow tree. At that time, Wang Yan was bending over, rubbing her ankle as if she was feeling uncomfortable. Seeing this scene, Feng Jiabao''s eyes lit up, and he turned his head with a grin to look at his roommates, "Shall we try to get her number?" "Come on! Forget it! Why don''t you go? I''ll wait for the good news?" Guo Rong looked at her with a grin, an expression of someone watching a show on her face. "Uh, this, that..." Hearing Guo Rong''s words, Feng Jiabao''s face turned somewhat embarrassed. Although Feng Jiabao usually appeared carefree and thick-skinned, he still felt a bit sheepish about hitting on his own teacher. When Lin Tian heard his roommates'' conversation and then looked at Wang Yan sitting on the stone bench in front, he smiled slightly and said, "Watch me!" After that, without another word, he walked straight over. "Hey! Lin Tian..." Seeing Lin Tian walking straight over, Guo Rong and the others were dumbfounded. What is he trying to do, he couldn''t seriously want to ask Wang Yan for her number, could he? Guo Rong and the others widened their eyes in astonishment, watching Lin Tian with disbelief. Lin Tian approached Wang Yan with measured strides and stopped in front of her. Wang Yan, who was bending over to rub her foot, was surprised when she saw a pair of feet suddenly stop in front of her and looked up curiously. As she lifted her head to look at the boy in front of her, a hint of confusion flashed in Wang Yan''s eyes. Despite having taught Lin Tian in two classes already, Wang Yan didn''t recognize him at all. Noticing the puzzled look on Wang Yan''s face, Lin Tian smiled and said, "Ms. Wang, do you need any help?" As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward the ankle that Wang Yan was rubbing. "No need, who are you?" Wang Yan straightened her body and looked at Lin Tian, puzzled. "You just taught my class." Lin Tian replied with a slight smile. "Oh, you are from the 2014 acupuncture class!" Recognizing him, a flash of realization appeared in Wang Yan''s eyes. "Yes, that''s right. Is your foot uncomfortable, do you need help?" Lin Tian asked again, glancing at Wang Yan''s ankle. "No need, thank you. You should get going!" Wang Yan politely nodded her head. "Uh..." Hearing her response, Lin Tian was taken aback and was unsure what to say next. Lin Tian noticed that Wang Yan had stood up. Wang Yan stood up, smiled politely at Lin Tian, and then said with a smile, "I must be going now, you''re busy!" With that, she nodded slightly and turned to leave. "Uh..." Lin Tian was startled to see Wang Yan walking away. At the same time, Lin Tian noticed, although Wang Yan tried to disguise it, her right foot still seemed unnatural when she walked. And that foot had just been the one she was massaging. Seeing her somewhat unnatural right foot, Lin Tian was puzzled. Was she injured? Just as Lin Tian was slightly dazed, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in his mind: "Task: Help Wang Yan deal with domestic abuse, help her get a divorce! Task completion reward: one Supernatural Point! Note: This is a special task. A prerequisite for completing the task is that Wang Yan must kiss the host at least once!" A task? Domestic abuse? And what the hell is that about a kiss? Lin Tian was speechless. Shaking his head, he didn''t think about it anymore; if he did, Wang Yan would be gone! At that moment, recalling the awkward way Wang Yan had been walking, a realization flashed through Lin Tian''s mind. With that in mind, Lin Tian immediately followed after her, "Ms. Wang!" Hearing the call, Wang Yan turned around, looking curiously at Lin Tian and asking in wonder, "Is there something else you need?" "I can fulfill your wish!" Lin Tian declared confidently. "What wish?" Wang Yan frowned slightly at the abrupt statement. After giving Wang Yan a glance, Lin Tian hesitated but eventually spoke out, "I know your husband has a tendency for domestic violence. I can help you!" When Wang Yan heard his words, her face changed instantly, and she said coldly, "I don''t know what you''re talking about!" After speaking, Wang Yan turned her head and walked away with a cold expression. "Uh..." Seeing Wang Yan''s face change instantly, Lin Tian was taken aback. After a moment, he understood what was going on. After all, this was a private matter of her family; Wang Yan was naturally angry to have it directly spoken out by someone else. However, Lin Tian believed that since the system had issued this task, obviously Wang Yan deep down must be hoping someone could resolve this issue. As long as Wang Yan had this wish, Lin Tian had confidence. With that thought, Lin Tian quickly followed after her again. "Uh..." Seeing Wang Yan leave with a cold face, Guo Rong and the others watching from afar were all stunned. "Now Lin Tian is doomed; he got rejected, haha!" "Yeah, he must be disappointed! We should really rib him when he comes back!" "It''s just beyond his capability, haha!" Several mocking friends rejoiced in Lin Tian''s misfortune! "Damn, why hasn''t he come back yet? What is he trying to do?" But in the next moment, the roommates were taken aback! They realized that after being rejected by Wang Yan, Lin Tian had not given up; he was actually still chasing after her. "Damn, no way!" Seeing this, Feng Jiabao''s eyes widened. "Awesome! It''s no wonder he''s the guy who slept with four girls, he is really something!" Seeing Lin Tian daring to follow again, Guo Rong was full of admiration. It was one thing to chase after a teacher. But to still go after her even after being rejected! What a daring person! Chapter 211 That kiss of tenderness! At this moment, Lin Tian had completely forgotten about his roommates, his mind preoccupied with other matters.Seeing Wang Yan walk away with an icy expression, Lin Tian immediately hastened to follow her. "Teacher Wang!" Lin Tian quickly caught up, his pace swift, intercepting Wang Yan beneath a weeping willow tree. "What do you want? Get out of the way!" Seeing Lin Tian blocking her path, Wang Yan frowned deeply and scolded with a cold face. "I know you want your husband to stop the domestic violence, and I have a way!" Lin Tian''s eyes were firmly fixed on Wang Yan. "I don''t understand what you''re talking about!" Wang Yan''s pretty face seemed to frost over. Seeing this, Lin Tian realized he needed to show some real skill to convince her, and after a moment''s thought, he slowly opened his palm. Watching Lin Tian''s movements, Wang Yan cast a doubtful glance at his hand. Her gaze swept over Lin Tian''s palm, and suddenly, Wang Yan''s eyes widened. Water! It was a water droplet the size of a ping pong ball, slowly taking shape in the center of Lin Tian''s palm, quietly floating there. At this sight, Wang Yan''s face was full of astonishment. Catching a glimpse of the shock on Wang Yan''s face, Lin Tian smiled and said, "I have superpowers. I can sense your troubles, and I can help solve your problem." "You..." Wang Yan raised her head to look at Lin Tian, her expression one of bafflement. In Wang Yan''s eyes, Lin Tian saw astonishment, a hint of shock, and also a sliver of distrust. Witnessing this, Lin Tian knew his performance was still insufficient. Thinking so, Lin Tian flicked his hand and shouted, "Rain!" Whoosh! Following Lin Tian''s gesture, the area a hundred meters behind him suddenly experienced a heavy downpour. The torrential rain came swiftly. "Stop!" Lin Tian suddenly commanded. "Whoosh!" Suddenly, the rain that had barely lasted a few seconds came to an abrupt halt. "Uh..." Staring at the scene dumbfounded, Wang Yan''s face was visibly shocked. This time, Wang Yan finally started to believe there must be some element of superpower involved. How else could someone command the rain to start and stop? Catching another glimpse of the astonishment in Wang Yan''s eyes, Lin Tian grinned and said, "How about that? Do you believe me now? I can help you." "You... really have superpowers?" Wang Yan asked, staring at Lin Tian blankly. "Yes, didn''t you just see?" Lin Tian replied cheerfully. "Then how can you help me?" Wang Yan looked at Lin Tian skeptically, feeling that he must have an ulterior motive. Hearing this, Lin Tian''s gaze swept over Wang Yan''s fair, small hand and then her rosy lips. Hesitating for a moment, Lin Tian spoke with a tinge of embarrassment, "I can help you, but I have one condition." "What condition?" Wang Yan asked, her brow furrowing upon hearing this. Lin Tian glanced at Wang Yan''s small mouth, his expression somewhat unnatural as he said, "Can I kiss you?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Yan frowned at Lin Tian. "Because only by doing that can I help you," Lin Tian explained. Lin Tian was speechless that the task required him to kiss Wang Yan! However, he liked it! Wondering if she would agree! Lin Tian thought with some anticipation! Wang Yan''s gaze swept coldly over Lin Tian and she turned to walk away. "Hey, Teacher Wang!" Realizing Wang Yan had walked away, Lin Tian was momentarily stunned, about to chase after her! Suddenly, there came a soft cry from Wang Yan! It turned out that the injury on her leg had acted up, causing her to stumble! It happened so suddenly that Wang Yan couldn''t help but fall backward! And behind her was a large rock! "Be careful!" Lin Tian shouted in alarm, his feet pushing off! Whoosh! In an instant, Lin Tian appeared behind Wang Yan, supporting her neck with one hand and holding her thigh with the other! The two faced each other, wrapped in each other''s arms in a somewhat amorous embrace! Uh... Their gazes met, and both were stunned for a moment! Their faces were so close, almost close enough to hear each other''s breathing! "I..." Wang Yan began to say something but then her eyes widened. Kiss! Lin Tian actually leaned down and kissed her! Wang Yan was completely stunned! And in the distance, Guo Rong and the others who had been watching the scene all widened their eyes in disbelief... "Damn! Damn... Lin Tian is too awesome!" Seeing this, Guo Rong and the others were dumbfounded. Feng Jiabao swallowed hard, staring at Lin Tian: After a good five or six seconds, Lin Tian finally released his mouth! As soon as Lin Tian let go, Wang Yan immediately slapped Lin Tian''s face, her own face flushed with shyness. "Slap!" With a loud slap, Lin Tian''s cheek felt burning hot. "Pervert!" Wang Yan glared fiercely at Lin Tian, her face red with anger. Lin Tian touched his cheek and said nothing. As Wang Yan''s loud slap rang out, all the surrounding students stopped in their tracks and curiously turned their gaze towards them. Feeling the curious looks from the other students, Wang Yan''s face flushed with hot embarrassment, her expression a mix of shame and anger. Glancing at the curious looks from the surrounding students, Wang Yan couldn''t stay any longer. She glared fiercely at Lin Tian and stormed off! Lin Tian touched his still-burning cheek, somewhat at a loss for words. "Sigh, it''s all for the mission! To help you, I''ve even sacrificed my good looks!" Lin Tian muttered quietly to himself! Of course, these were words Lin Tian could only say to himself! "But why did it have to be a kiss?" Lin Tian was puzzled! He hadn''t had time to ask before, but now was a good opportunity to find out! Thinking this, Lin Tian submerged his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness and asked: "System, why did it have to be a kiss this time?" "Ding! The kiss was to strengthen the host''s connection with Wang Yan. After the kiss just now, the system has analyzed that Wang Yan might be in mortal danger tonight. Host, please be alert!" "Life-threatening danger? No wonder," Lin Tian muttered to himself! "Hey!" As Lin Tian was deep in thought, suddenly, he felt someone tap his shoulder. Feeling the touch, he turned his head to look. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire Turning around, Lin Tian immediately saw his three roommates looking at him with admiration. Seeing Lin Tian coming to his senses, Guo Rong hugged Lin Tian''s shoulder tightly and exclaimed with an exaggerated expression, "Damn, Lin Tian, you''re so badass! A forced kiss, wow!" "Exactly! I''m totally in awe, bro!" Feng Jiabao looked up to Lin Tian with admiration. Feng Jiabao thought he was cool enough, but now, seeing Lin Tian like this, he was genuinely impressed. To dare kiss a teacher? He didn''t have the guts to do that and was truly impressed! "Er¡­" Faced with their exaggerated expressions of admiration, Lin Tian didn''t quite know what to say. It''s not like he could tell them he had to do it to complete a task. Lin Tian couldn''t explain this, so he chose to say nothing at all. ** In the afternoon, Lin Tian had two more classes. After the morning classes, Lin Tian stayed in the classroom for a while, doing nothing much but reading a book. Lin Tian didn''t stay in the classroom for long. With his current abilities, learning these things was very simple. Twenty minutes later, Lin Tian walked out of the classroom with a relaxed expression. Stepping out of the teaching building, Lin Tian walked slowly along the school''s pathway. The school''s scenery was beautiful, with weeping willows on either side. Under the trees was a long, green pond adorned with pink lotuses that were not yet fully withered. Lin Tian glanced at the pond below and could see little fish swimming among the lotus flowers. The fish glided freely through the flowers. Seeing this scene felt pleasant to Lin Tian, who liked the sensation. With time to spare, Lin Tian sat down by the pond and quietly observed the distant scenery. Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of coolness mixed with the faint scent of fresh grass. It was a fragrance absent from the city. Enjoying the breeze, Lin Tian softly closed his eyes, a light smile curling his lips. After sitting quietly for a while, suddenly, he heard voices from a distance. "Good afternoon, Teacher Wang!" "Mm, good afternoon to you too!" The sound was far from Lin Tian, but he still recognized it as Wang Yan''s voice. sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Hearing this, Lin Tian paused, then turned his head to look to the right. Looking over, he saw Wang Yan, dressed in a black suit, holding a yellow book on Chinese medicine and walking forward. Seeing Wang Yan, Lin Tian thought about the earlier mission. After thinking for a moment and hesitating a bit, Lin Tian decided to get up and walk over to her. It was better to remind her anyway. Since Wang Yan was heading in Lin Tian''s direction, he only had to walk a few steps before reaching her. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Yan''s expression changed. She shot him an annoyed look and, without paying him any attention, turned to leave. As Wang Yan tried to walk past him, Lin Tian quickly followed and cautioned, "Be careful tonight, your husband might do something off tonight!" Hearing Lin Tian, Wang Yan, with a cold face and without stopping, ignored him completely. Seeing that Wang Yan paid no heed to his words, Lin Tian felt somewhat helpless and continued, "You really need to be careful, he might kill you!" Upon hearing this, Wang Yan stopped in her tracks, spun around furiously, and said with an angry stare, "If you keep following me, I''ll call the police!" "Er¡­" Lin Tian was at a loss for words at her response. "Hmph!" Wang Yan turned sharply and walked away. Watching Wang Yan leave with a swish of her hips, Lin Tian''s expression was tinged with helplessness. After a moment of silence, Lin Tian bowed his head and muttered to himself, "I just wanted to warn her a bit, but it looks like it was completely useless!" If Wang Yan lost her life, Lin Tian would miss out on Supernatural Points. More importantly, the loss of such a beauty would be a great loss to society! "I''ll just go there this afternoon and be a bit more careful," Lin Tian thought to himself. Since Wang Yan wasn''t paying attention, Lin Tian decided to plan on following her a bit earlier! At eight o''clock in the evening, Lin Tian''s body floated in mid-air. Floating in the void, Lin Tian watched intently the window of a house. Through the window, Lin Tian could see Wang Yan and a middle-aged man having dinner. Chapter 212 Target... Zhang Hous Wrist! This man is Wang Yan''s husband!According to Lin Tian''s observation, this man should be named Zhang Hou! Lin Tian had been observing Zhang Hou for an hour now! Lin Tian noticed that during this hour, Zhang Hou behaved very normally, no different from an ordinary person. Even seemed to lack any violent tendencies. Frowning slightly as he watched Zhang Hou, Lin Tian waited quietly. He believed that the system must be correct if it was so certain. As Lin Tian observed, time slowly passed by. After Wang Yan and Zhang Hou finished eating, Wang Yan did the dishes while Zhang Hou sat in the living room watching TV. In the living room, though Zhang Hou''s eyes were on the television, his mind was elsewhere. His gaze was distracted, unclear what he was thinking! "Smash!" Suddenly, the sound of a breaking plate abruptly echoed from the kitchen. Hearing this sound, a surge of anger burst within Zhang Hou, his face showing impatience as he said, "What''s going on!" "Accidentally broke a plate!" came the voice of Wang Yan from the kitchen. "Can''t you be more careful? You can''t even manage this simple task!" Zhang Hou suddenly stood up, roaring towards the kitchen with a fierce face. "What! What! So a plate broke, so what? Do you really need to react like this? Are you planning to hit me?" Hearing Zhang Hou''s voice, Wang Yan also appeared very annoyed inside the kitchen. Too much! This was too much, it was just a broken plate! Wang Yan thought it was nothing, but Zhang Hou found it extremely irritating! Especially when he heard Wang Yan talk back, his rage grew even stronger! Zhang Hou''s eyes widened, his face hostile as he yelled in the direction of the kitchen: "You broke the plate and you''re talking back? Goddammit, asking for trouble!" The volume of Zhang Hou''s voice was incredibly loud, even faintly carrying outside through the window, where Lin Tian could also faintly hear it. Hearing Zhang Hou''s roar, Wang Yan became even more annoyed, then she threw down the plate she was holding and walked outside! Arriving at the kitchen doorway, Wang Yan in her apron coldly looked at Zhang Hou and said, "So? I broke a plate, so what? Do you have to act like you''re going to eat me up?" Zhang Hou stared at Wang Yan with bloodshot eyes, saying nothing. His expression was grotesque. Coldly glancing at Zhang Hou, Wang Yan threw off the apron tied around her waist with a snap, casting it on the floor, then coldly walked towards the bedroom. "Where are you going?" Zhang Hou asked, holding back his rage as he saw Wang Yan leave with a cold face. Wang Yan kept her face cold and didn''t say a word, walking quickly to the bedroom. "I''m asking you where you''re going!" Zhang Hou suddenly slammed his hand down! Bang! A loud thud came from the coffee table, causing the cups on it to jump! But Zhang Hou didn''t notice these things; he was fiercely staring at Wang Yan. The sudden loud sound caused Wang Yan to startle, flinching momentarily. Wang Yan paused involuntarily. But after hesitating a moment and regaining her composure, Wang Yan looked at Zhang Hou with a cold face, "I''m going to sleep!" "You''re not allowed to go!" Zhang Hou shouted angrily. S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Wang Yan ignored him and continued towards the bedroom. Seeing this, Zhang Hou was furious and suddenly got up, rushing over quickly! He fiercely blocked Wang Yan, his face filled with anger! Enraged! For some inexplicable reason, he was very angry, wanting to hit someone! And seeing this scene, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly from outside the window. Zhang Hou, his face full of rage, coldly said to Wang Yan, "Go wash the dishes!" Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire "I won''t!" Wang Yan coldly replied. "Get the hell out and do it!" Zhang Hou suddenly roared, his face fierce. Looking at Zhang Hou''s terrified face, Wang Yan took a deep breath and immediately turned around with a cold expression. However, Wang Yan was not heading to the kitchen, but towards the front door instead. Seeing this, Zhang Hou''s anger, which had slightly subsided, flared up once again. He bellowed loudly, "Where are you going!" Wang Yan didn''t speak, she hurried to the front door and reached out to open it. But before her hand could extend, a thick arm blocked her. Zhang Hou stared at Wang Yan with a livid face, locked eyes with her, and said word by word, "Did you not hear what I said?" Zhang Hou''s breathing was a bit rapid, looking like he was forcibly suppressing the rage within him. Staring coldly at Zhang Hou, Wang Yan''s patience had worn thin. Time and again, it was the same. Random fits of anger followed by outbursts and sometimes even violence. Enough was enough! Wang Yan had really had enough! Thinking this, Wang Yan took a deep breath and stared resolutely at Zhang Hou: "Fine, let''s make things clear today. I don''t think we have any basis to stay together anymore, let''s get a divorce!" "What did you say?" Hearing this, Zhang Hou was taken aback, staring in shock at Wang Yan with a face full of anger. Taking a deep breath, Wang Yan looked steadily at Zhang Hou, her gaze filled with unprecedented determination, and said, "Divorce!" "Shut up!" Zhang Hou suddenly roared, his face flush with agitation. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!" Zhang Hou screamed madly, waving his arms around because of his agitation. "Don''t yell so loudly, we don''t need to be together anymore, let''s handle the procedures tomorrow!" Seeing Zhang Hou''s crazed demeanor, Wang Yan remained calm. She didn''t plan on delaying any longer. She was truly fed up. "Are you looking to die!" Zhang Hou gasped heavily, his eyes bloodshot as he glared menacingly at Wang Yan. Hearing this, Wang Yan also became furious and yelled at Zhang Hou, "Die, die, die! If you dare, kill me! Even death is better than being with you!" "You... Bitch!" Zhang Hou fiercely slapped her. Slap! With a loud slap, Wang Yan was sent flying. "You''re asking for it!" Zhang Hou, eyes bloodshot, saw Wang Yan fall but far from restraining himself, he grabbed a fruit knife from the table! Zhang Hou, with a ghastly face, said, "You want to die, right? Then I''ll grant your wish today!" He gripped the fruit knife tightly. Looking at the gleaming fruit knife, Wang Yan''s heart tightened. Fear! Terror! Wang Yan realized that Zhang Hou actually intended to kill her! Even though she had earlier told him to kill her, it was said in anger; realizing now that Zhang Hou was genuinely crazed enough to want to kill her, Wang Yan was terrified! Seeing the fear flicker in Wang Yan''s eyes, Zhang Hou burst into laughter and crazily said, "You want to die, right? Then I''ll fulfill your wish!" With that, he thrust the fruit knife forward vigorously. Seeing the shiny fruit knife heading straight for her, Wang Yan screamed in terror. At that moment, she remembered Lin Tian, and what he had said during the day. Lin Tian had mentioned that Zhang Hou might kill her. She hadn''t anticipated that it could actually be true. She regretted not listening to Lin Tian. If only she had listened to him back then. But now it was all too late. Whoosh! Just when Wang Yan was in utter despair¡ª a silver coin whistled through the window! Targeting... Zhang Hou''s wrist! Chapter 213 Dont Get Any Funny Ideas! Whoosh! sea??h th§× Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.With a flick of Lin Tian''s hand, a silver coin shot directly towards the window! The target... Zhang Hou''s wrist! Bang! Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, the silver coin pierced through the air and entered! "Die!" Zhang Hou''s face contorted with ferocity as he viciously thrust the fruit knife in his hand towards Wang Yan! Seeing the swiftly approaching gleaming dagger, Wang Yan''s face was filled with despair! Just as Wang Yan''s face showed despair, suddenly, a silver light swiftly flew from afar, heading straight for Zhang Hou''s wrist! "Pff!" With a crisp sound, a tremendous force was transmitted, directly causing Zhang Hou''s wrist to deviate! Whoosh! The fruit knife narrowly missed Wang Yan''s cheek. At the same time, streams of red blood flowed from Zhang Hou''s wrist. Seeing this scene, Wang Yan was somewhat stunned. "Ah~!" Zhang Hou tightly clutched his wrist, his face contorted in pain. "Uh..." Wang Yan stared blankly at the scene, completely clueless about what was happening. "Bang!" Just as Wang Yan was dazed, suddenly, a fierce collision sound came from the glass in front of her. Startled, Wang Yan abruptly looked up towards the window. At a glance, Wang Yan saw a black figure breaking through the window. Bang! Accompanied by a cloud of glass fragments, the figure charged directly into the room. Snap! The person moved adeptly, with a kick that lightly neutralized the impact, and his body remained unharmed. Seeing this person, Wang Yan paused, her face showing disbelief. Lin Tian! Although she did not know Lin Tian''s name, Wang Yan remembered that this boy was the one who had harassed her during the day. He... Why did he come here? Wang Yan looked on in astonishment. Lin Tian''s arrival was completely unexpected to her. The loud noise of Lin Tian breaking through the window shifted Zhang Hou''s attention to Lin Tian. Zhang Hou also saw Lin Tian. Seeing Lin Tian, Zhang Hou, with bloodshot eyes, glared at Lin Tian in a roar, "Was it you who hit me?" Lin Tian quietly watched him. Judging from Zhang Hou''s words and actions, it was clear that anger had clouded his judgment. If he had been clearheaded, he definitely would have sensed something off about Lin Tian. But at that moment, Zhang Hou''s mind was filled with deep rage. While watching the ferocious Zhang Hou, Lin Tian quietly observed, his expression remaining very calm. Seeing Lin Tian''s indifferent expression, he grew even angrier! What does this mean, looking down on me? Thinking this, his mind was overwhelmed by anger. Kill! Kill! Kill this bastard! Deep anger was the only thing in Zhang Hou''s mind. "Roar!" Zhang Hou, with bloodshot eyes, roared lowly as he stomped his feet and fiercely charged towards Lin Tian. Whoosh! Zhang Hou was fast, covering the distance of five to six meters in the blink of an eye. "Die!" Zhang Hou, swinging his uninjured hand, viciously struck at Lin Tian. His manner was as if he wanted to devour Lin Tian. Lin Tian glanced at him indifferently, his head slightly turning. As Lin Tian turned his head, whoosh! Zhang Hou''s fist, with a whooshing sound, flew past Lin Tian''s ear. "Die!" Missing with his punch, Zhang Hou grew even more furious, lifting his foot and striking hard! Whoosh! Accompanied by a whooshing sound, Zhang Hou''s foot viciously aimed for Lin Tian''s head. This kick was faster and more ruthless than the previous punch! "Ah!" Seeing this scene, Wang Yan couldn''t help but scream. Frowning slightly, Lin Tian decided not to waste any more time and immediately raised his hand. Snap! Lin Tian''s wrist firmly grasped the foot that Zhang Hou had kicked towards him! Grip it tightly! "You!" Zhang Hou''s leg twitched as he tried to pull it out, but it was useless! Lin Tian''s five fingers clamped down on his leg as tightly as an iron hoop. Since he could not free himself, Zhang Hou''s face turned beet red with frustration. After giving him a glare, Lin Tian slightly narrowed his eyes, took a small step forward, and leaned in! His body pressed close against Zhang Hou''s, and then he shrugged his shoulder. Bang! With Lin Tian''s movement, Zhang Hou''s entire body was flung away, crashing heavily to the ground. This strike from Lin Tian was very heavy! Falling heavily to the ground, Zhang Hou instantly passed out! Lin Tian turned to look at Wang Yan, who was sitting on the ground, and walked over to help her up! Supported by Lin Tian on the sofa, Wang Yan looked at the unconscious Zhang Hou on the floor and said worriedly, "He..." "He''s fine, just passed out," Lin Tian explained. "Mm," Wang Yan nodded but didn''t speak. After a while, Wang Yan said somewhat dejectedly, "He wasn''t like this when he got married!" Lin Tian stood silently beside her, not knowing what to say. After a moment of silence, Lin Tian said, "Call the police. You can''t keep living like this. And with what happened, the court will definitely grant you a divorce." Wang Yan remained silent, saying nothing. After watching Wang Yan for a while, Lin Tian sighed; she was a pitiful woman. Shaking his head, Lin Tian walked to the side and took out his phone to dial 110. Soon, the sound of police sirens could be heard outside. Hearing the sirens outside, Lin Tian gently hugged Wang Yan and softly said, "Everything will pass, Ms. Wang. I have to go now, goodbye!" After speaking, Lin Tian kicked off, took a few leaps, and swooshed out of sight through the window! Having left Wang Yan''s home, Lin Tian didn''t leave immediately, but observed the surroundings for a while. After confirming there was no problem, Lin Tian then left, quickly flying towards the school! As Lin Tian was heading to the school, at the school gate, in front of the fruit stall, Bu Mengting and a beautiful classmate were buying fruit, chatting beautifully. "Mengting, your boyfriend is quite powerful! It''s so late now, lend him to me, have him take me home! I''m really scared at this late hour!" she said, laughing. The girl did not live in the school dormitory but had rented an apartment outside. It was already past 10 PM, and there was a section of the pathway without streetlights. Bu Mengting knew it wasn''t safe now and thought for a moment before saying, "Why don''t you stay in our dorm tonight? It''s too late now, and that guy Lin Tian is probably goofing off somewhere right now! Hmph!" As she spoke, Bu Mengting huffed. "Mengting!" No sooner had Bu Mengting spoken than a familiar voice called out! "Hmm?" Bu Mengting turned her head and immediately saw Lin Tian smiling and running towards her. Just as Lin Tian was preparing to go back and saw Bu Mengting from above, he came down. "Why are you here?" Seeing Lin Tian, Bu Mengting was surprised; what a coincidence! "I missed you," Lin Tian grinned. "Tch!" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes upon hearing this. "Oh, the goddess is angry!" Lin Tian chuckled and gently patted Bu Mengting''s head. "Buzz buzz¡«!" Just as Bu Mengting was about to say something, suddenly, her white handbag vibrated - her phone was ringing! "Hello? What? Oh, alright!" After a short chat, Bu Mengting hung up. After hanging up, Bu Mengting hesitated for a moment, glanced at the girl, then at Lin Tian, and said, "This is my classmate Lin Qian, it''s very late, would you take her home?" After a pause, Bu Mengting admonished sternly, "Don''t you dare try anything funny!" After speaking, Bu Mengting hurried away! There was clearly some urgent matter! Er... Witnessing this, Lin Tian was stunned. What was going on? She just left him behind? Chapter 214 Lin Tians Romantic Encounter! Bu Mengting unexpectedly ran off by herself, leaving Lin Tianyi speechless!When Bu Mengting left, Lin Qian was also stunned! After a brief pause, Lin Qian looked at the still somewhat dazed Lin Tian and giggled: "Handsome, I''ll need you to escort me home later!" Ding! As soon as Lin Qian finished speaking, a synthesized electronic voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind: "Ding, task, fulfill Lin Qian''s wish by safely escorting her back to the rental house. Reward for task completion: one Supernatural Point. Note: This task must be completed within fifteen minutes; failure to do so within the stipulated time will be regarded as a failure." Hearing this task announcement, Lin Tian nodded immediately, "If you don''t mind, I''m okay with it." For a beautiful girl, Lin Tian had no resistance. Not just Lin Tian, even an ordinary man would not refuse such a request. Besides, returning her home would earn him a Supernatural Point, so Lin Tian found no reason to decline. Seeing Lin Tian agree, Lin Qian visibly relaxed. She wrapped her blue coat around herself and smiled: "Then I''ll be troubling you!" "Sure!" Lin Tian responded and followed behind Lin Qian! The two then ventured onto the dark path. Seeing the dark path, Lin Qian looked very nervous, but seeing Lin Tian''s calm expression beside her, she relaxed a lot. Walking through the dark path, a dim yellow light came from ahead, where an old fluorescent lamp hung. Reaching the spot illuminated by the light, Lin Tian followed Lin Qian up to the second floor of the rental house! As they climbed the stairs, Lin Qian introduced herself, "My name is Lin Qian. Um, you''re Lin Tian, I know, we were family five hundred years ago!" With that, Lin Qian pursed her lips and smiled! Lin Qian''s voice was very pleasant, like the song of a lark. Lin Tian nodded slightly, appreciatively, "Lin Qian, that''s a beautiful name." "Thank you." "You''re welcome!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, saying this as he followed Lin Qian! With Lin Qian in front and Lin Tian behind, the fact that Lin Qian wore an ultra-short skirt, coupled with the height of the stairs, allowed Lin Tian to catch a glimpse of her barely visible transparent underwear. Seeing this, Lin Tian''s heartbeat slightly quickened for some reason, and he felt a bit dry-mouthed. Upon reaching the second floor, Lin Qian stopped. "I''m here." Stopping, Lin Qian turned to look at Lin Tian beside her. "What?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned, then quickly came to his senses! Looking up, he realized he had unwittingly reached the second floor. At that moment, Lin Qian was standing in front of a door, holding a silver key in her hand. "Oh? You''re here? Okay!" After a brief pause, Lin Tian appeared somewhat awkward. As he spoke, Lin Tian felt his face burning. He had been too focused earlier, unsure if Lin Qian had noticed his small action. Lin Qian didn''t speak and took out her keys to open the door. The moment Lin Qian opened the door, another synthesized voice rang in Lin Tian''s mind: "Task of fulfilling Lin Qian''s wish has been completed, rewarding one Supernatural Point." With that voice, Lin Tian felt an additional Supernatural Point in his Sea of Consciousness. Lin Tian swept his gaze, noticing he now had 7 Supernatural Points. His consciousness made a round through the Sea of Consciousness, then Lin Tian withdrew his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness. As soon as his consciousness exited the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian saw Lin Qian, who had entered the room, smiling, "Thank you. Come in and sit." "No need to thank me." Lin Tian smiled slightly, glanced at Lin Qian''s body behind the door, hesitated a moment, waved his hand, and said goodbye, "Then, see you." As he spoke, Lin Tian turned and walked away. Even though he was quite fond of the beautiful woman, Lin Tian was not the type of man to make a move on someone he just met. "Lin Tian..." Just a few steps away, suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind him. "Hmm?" Lin Tian stopped, turned his head, and looked back. "Can you, can you come up and keep me company for a bit? I''m, I''m a bit scared!" Lin Qian said, her pretty face flushing red. "Uh..." Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback. He had not expected Lin Qian to say something like that. "Could you... could you please help me?" Seeing Lin Tian hesitate, Lin Qian bit her lip lightly, her head slightly bowed, looking extremely bashful and adorable. "Uh..." Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, looking at Lin Qian''s blushing face. For some reason, the image of the cute panties he saw while climbing the stairs came to mind.

Thinking of that, Lin Tian swallowed and looked up at Lin Qian, saying, "If you don''t mind, I don''t mind either." "Then come in!" Seeing Lin Tian agree, a flicker of joy crossed Lin Qian''s face, and she quickly withdrew her head back inside. Glancing at the open door upstairs, Lin Tian walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Qian wearing a pink bathrobe. Seeing Lin Tian come in, Lin Qian appeared somewhat shy and said, "You can sit for a while, I, I want to take a bath first." A bath? Hearing this, Lin Tian was startled! Could she be thinking about doing that with me? The situation seemed to be progressing a bit too fast? Lin Tian swallowed, forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be composed as he said: "Okay, go ahead!" Soon, the sound of water running reached Lin Tian''s ears. His gaze swept towards the bathroom, he stared for a while, then withdrew his gaze. Lin Tian''s eyes scanned the entire room. The apartment Lin Qian rented was quite spacious: one living room, one bedroom, a kitchen, and a bathroom, totaling about fifty square meters. The whole room looked very proper, the white porcelain floor was very clean, and the decor around the room was neatly arranged. The entire room gave Lin Tian a very clean and tidy impression. From this, it could be seen that Lin Qian was a very organized and clean girl. After a quick glance around and noticing that Lin Qian was not coming out soon, Lin Tian slowly walked a round through the entire apartment. Approaching Lin Qian''s bedroom, Lin Tian suddenly smelled a distinct feminine fragrance. His glance swept over the bedroom, Lin Tian saw many paper cranes hanging in the room. The colorful ribbons connected each crane, looking very beautiful. After a quick glance at the room, Lin Tian did not enter. After wandering around a bit more, Lin Tian eventually returned to the living room and sat down on a chair. Lin Tian had just sat down when he saw Lin Qian walk out in a blue dress. Lin Qian had just taken a shower, and her hair still looked a bit damp. Seeing Lin Tian sitting in the chair, Lin Qian showed a shy smile and said, "Sorry to trouble you." "No worries, you don''t know how many men would envy me for this opportunity," Lin Tian joked. His words weren''t wrong; if the guys from Lin Tian''s dorm found out, they would definitely curse him for being a beast. Hearing Lin Tian say this, Lin Qian smiled shyly. "Thank you so much for today!" Lin Qian expressed her gratitude! "It''s no problem!" As he spoke, Lin Tian''s gaze unconsciously swept across Lin Qian''s chest. Lin Tian noticed that Lin Qian seemingly wasn''t wearing a bra under the blue dress as there was a slight outline. Chapter 215 Gazing at the Stars Noticing Lin Tian''s gaze, Lin Qian''s pretty face turned red, and she awkwardly turned her body to the side."Eh..." Noticing Lin Qian''s movement, Lin Tian''s face turned red, and then somewhat awkwardly tried to laugh it off, "Haha, the weather''s nice today, huh!" "It seems to be overcast today..." Lin Qian appeared a bit speechless. And hearing Lin Qian''s response, Lin Tian seemed even more at a loss for words, looking at her helplessly, "Can''t we just have a pleasant conversation?" Seeing Lin Tian''s goofy expression, Lin Qian pursed her lips and smiled. "You have a beautiful smile!" Seeing the smile on Lin Qian''s face, Lin Tian straightforwardly lavished praise. "You..." Time ticked away, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed. Through half an hour of talking, the two had become quite familiar with each other. However, to Lin Tian''s slight frustration, even after half an hour, Lin Qian hadn''t hinted at anything! Lin Tian had thought Lin Qian wanted to do something with him! But there was nothing! It was like Lin Tian had undressed only to be told it was just a joke! Although Lin Qian gave no hints, Lin Tian couldn''t be too hasty; he propped his chin with his hand, curiously watching her, "By the way, what do you like the most?" "Me? I love stargazing under the night sky the most, lying on the grass, looking up at the starry universe. It feels like... like my entire being is melting into the universe..." As she spoke, Lin Qian gently closed her eyes, her hands supporting her chin, and her head tilted back slightly, her expression becoming somewhat dreamy, as if recalling something. "I also love stargazing, especially in wide open places, where I can feel the vastness of the universe!" Lin Tian said with a smile on his face. "Really?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Lin Qian looked at him with surprise. "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded without hesitation. "It''s a pity there are no stars today. If it were a clear night, I could take you up to the rooftop to stargaze," Lin Qian said with a hint of regret on her face. "Do you really want to see the stars?" Lin Tian asked with a smile, looking at Lin Qian. "Yes, it''s a pity there aren''t any." Lin Qian''s face showed a bit of gloom as she pouted, "I haven''t stargazed for a long time. I miss it." "Well, that''s not necessarily impossible..." Lin Tian smiled at her. Startled for a moment, Lin Qian gave Lin Tian a glance, "Stop joking, okay?" "I''m not joking!" Lin Tian looked at her with a grin. "What? You can make stars appear?" Lin Qian''s eyes widened as she looked at Lin Tian. Hearing Lin Qian''s words, Lin Tian smiled, remained silent, and said nothing. Could he fulfill Lin Qian''s wish? Naturally, Lin Tian could, and he had more than one way to do it. The simplest way was to clear the clouds from the sky, and once the clouds disappeared, the stars would naturally show up. After all, the stars are always there; they''re just obscured by something. With the Water Control Ability, clearing the clouds from the sky was a breeze for Lin Tian. Besides this method, Lin Tian had another... "What''s the matter? Can''t do it?" Seeing Lin Tian silent, Lin Qian began to look slightly downcast, thinking he was unable to do it. Lin Tian came back to his senses, looked at Lin Qian''s slightly downcast face, raised an eyebrow, and watched her with a chuckling smile, "How could a man say he can''t do it?" "So, you can?" Lin Qian looked at Lin Tian skeptically. "Of course!" Lin Tian nodded as a matter of course, glanced at Lin Qian''s fair skin, and moved his chair a bit closer to her, getting nearer to Lin Qian. Looking at Lin Qian so close to him, Lin Tian sized her up with a grin, suggestively saying, "But how will you thank me if I manage it? I don''t work for free, you know!" Lin Tian''s gaze was very piercing, and under his intense scrutiny, Lin Qian even felt as if she had been stripped bare. Unable to bear Lin Tian''s burning gaze, Lin Qian''s cute face turned red, and she shyly looked away, obviously embarrassed. And Lin Qian''s shy demeanor, in Lin Tian''s view, seemed even more charming and endearing. For some reason, Lin Tian''s mind once again conjured up the image of those cute white panties. The thought made Lin Tian involuntarily swallow. After a moment of silence, Lin Qian turned her head slightly, her beautiful eyes blinking at Lin Tian, unable to hide her curiosity, "How will you make the stars appear?" "Why do you ask? You won''t believe me anyway!" Lin Tian looked completely unconcerned. "How can I believe you if you don''t make it happen?" Lin Qian rolled her eyes at him. "How can I make it happen if you don''t agree to my condition!" Lin Tian chuckled. "What condition?" Lin Qian looked at Lin Tian, completely taken aback. Since when was there a condition? Glancing at Lin Qian''s tempting red lips, Lin Tian chuckled, "Kiss me!" "You..." Hearing that, Lin Qian''s face instantly flushed red, and she glared at Lin Tian fiercely, spitting out, "Pervert!" After saying that, Lin Qian turned her head away, ignoring Lin Tian. As Lin Qian turned her head, Lin Tian noticed even the tips of her ears had turned red. "So cute, I just want to take a bite!" Lin Tian licked his lips, murmuring to himself. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A few seconds later, both of them remained silent. Just as Lin Tian thought Lin Qian was really angry with him, suddenly, a mosquito-like thin voice reached his ears, "Maybe..." "What?" Hearing the thin voice, Lin Tian frowned slightly, looking at Lin Qian with a puzzled face. Lin Qian''s voice had been too soft just now, and even with Lin Tian''s good hearing, he hadn''t heard clearly what she said. "I mean, I can..." Lin Qian''s voice was still very quiet, but Lin Tian heard her clearly this time. "Agreed?" Hearing Lin Qian''s words, Lin Tianyi was astounded. When he started speaking, Lin Tian actually just did it with a joking attitude. After all, Lin Tian didn''t think anyone would be so open, and since he wasn''t handsome, he didn''t expect others to fall for him upon seeing him. That would be too fake. But, to Lin Tian''s surprise, Lin Qian actually agreed. Lin Qian actually agreed to kiss him! So, upon hearing her words, Lin Tian was stunned, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Could it be that his charm had really grown? Lin Tian touched his chin, muttering to himself in amusement! "Are you sure?" Lin Tian asked seriously, looking at Lin Qian. "Hmm?" Lin Qian nodded lightly. Because she was shy, she didn''t dare to look up at Lin Tian. Since Lin Qian had said as much, if he still refused, it would seem a bit affected. With this thought, Lin Tian immediately said to Lin Qian, "Okay, I''ll do it for you!" Hearing his voice, although shy, Lin Qian still looked up at Lin Tian with curiosity. Even though she couldn''t imagine how Lin Tian could conjure up stars, for some reason, Lin Qian was very confident in him. Lin Tian glanced at Lin Qian and smiled, "I''m thinking about how to give you an experience you''ve never had before." "What kind of experience?" Lin Qian looked at Lin Tian with curiosity. After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian asked, "Have you ever experienced stargazing from the void?" "Stargazing from the void?" Lin Qian was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head, looking at Lin Tian strangely, "Don''t tell me you can." Hearing this, Lin Tian smiled slightly without saying a word, simply waving his hand gently, "Look..." As Lin Tian waved his hand, suddenly, the entire room went dark. Before Lin Qian could react, she was startled again. Looking up, she widened her eyes. Starlight! Above them was a void. The white ceiling had disappeared, the lights were gone, replaced by a dark starry sky. And within this void, there were specks of twinkling stars. "This..." Lin Qian looked up at the starry sky, disbelieving. Glancing at the stunned Lin Qian, Lin Tian smiled and waved his hand gently again, "Wind!" "Whoosh..." At Lin Tian''s word, suddenly, Lin Qian felt a gentle breeze coming. The soft breeze was neither cold nor hot, and Lin Qian could even smell a hint of fresh grass... "This..." Lin Qian stood there, feeling it, her face filled with disbelief. How could there be wind in this room, and even a breeze with the scent of grass? Watching Lin Qian''s face of shock, Lin Tian smiled and snapped his fingers gently. "Croak, croak!" Suddenly, the sound of frogs calling out was heard, along with the faint sounds of insects chirping. With the breeze, the starry sky, the chirping insects, and even the scent of grass, in an instant, Lin Qian felt as if she was standing in the middle of a field. "How does it feel?" After doing all this, Lin Tian looked at Lin Qian with a smile. "How, how did you do this?" Lin Qian looked at Lin Tian, completely amazed. "Are you satisfied?" Lin Tian asked with a smile. "Mmm!" Lin Qian nodded vigorously, her face filled with content. Seeing Lin Qian''s satisfied expression, Lin Tian smiled slightly, "That''s all you need to be satisfied with? There''s even better to come." "There''s more?" Lin Qian was taken aback upon hearing this. Before Lin Qian could react, she was suddenly startled, her face going blank. Floating! Suddenly, Lin Qian felt her body slowly rising, as if losing all weight and gently floating upward. "This..." Feeling the change in her body, Lin Qian looked down, her eyes wide with astonishment. She saw that the white tiled floor beneath her had vanished, replaced by a dark void. Without the floor, Lin Qian had no point of reference, but still, she felt as if she was floating because she couldn''t feel her body''s weight at all. Glancing at Lin Qian, Lin Tian smiled faintly and, with a thought, his body too began to slowly float upward. As his body drifted up, stopping at Lin Qian''s height, Lin Tian ceased floating and gently laid back. Eventually, Lin Tian lay flat in the void, hands behind his head, eyes gazing at the starry sky and turning to look at Lin Qian, "Lie down too, and take it all in." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Lin Qian too controlled her body and slowly lay down. As she lay flat in the void looking up at the stars, viewing the vast universe, feeling the breeze on her face, and hearing the faint sounds of insects in her ears, Lin Qian suddenly felt her entire soul melting away. She felt as if she had become one with nature... That feeling... beyond words! Lin Tian also lay there quietly, gazing at the starry sky and savoring the sensation. Wonderful, and very pleasant! Even Lin Tian was a bit mesmerized! Chapter 216 How many eyes does Prince Ma have! After watching the stars, Lin Tian and Lin Qian didn''t end up doing anything!Lin Tian realized that he had misunderstood Lin Qian''s mention of taking a bath! With a hint of disappointment, Lin Tian returned to his dormitory at the university! When Lin Tian arrived at the male dormitory, most of his dorm mates were almost asleep. Seeing Lin Tian come back so late, Guo Rong looked him over with puzzlement and teased, "Yo, isn''t this our lascivious Casanova? Where have you been? Off to get some action again?" With a slight smile, Lin Tian flicked his hair and pretended to be debonair, "Today a beauty saw how handsome I am and wanted to offer herself to me, but I, your brother, turned her down!" "Yeah right, keep blowing your own trumpet, don''t blow it till it bursts!" Guo Rong said with a look of disdain. Although he admitted that Lin Tian was streets ahead in attracting girls, he did not believe what Lin Tian said. "Hehe..." Seeing the disdain on Guo Rong''s face, Lin Tian did not offer an explanation. Alone in his bed, Lin Tian thought for a moment and then made a phone call to Bu Mengting, chatting away for a while. Half an hour later, Lin Tian made another call to He Qianqian. After a brief chat with He Qianqian, Lin Tian then asked, "Qianqian, have you ever been to our university?" "Your university? I''ve been to the old campus, but not the new one." "When will you come over for a visit? Aren''t you free from classes tomorrow? Just come over for fun. Mengting is here too, it would be perfect for the three of us to hang out!" As he spoke, Lin Tian let out a sly chuckle, his face sporting a mischievous grin. "Go away, what are you thinking!" Hearing Lin Tian''s tone, He Qianqian immediately knew what he was up to and spat disdainfully. "Come on, it''ll be fun! Come over, will you?" Lin Tian giggled. "No way! Don''t you try that on me!" He Qianqian''s attitude was very firm. "Really? If that''s how it is, then I''ll just come find you at your school! Hmph!" Lin Tian threatened playfully. In the end, after much soft-soaping and hard-pressing from Lin Tian, He Qianqian finally agreed to come over the next day. After a little more conversation, Lin Tian hung up the phone with an excited look on his face. "Not bad, tomorrow''s going to be fun! Hehe..." The thought of tomorrow''s fun filled Lin Tian with excitement. Brimming with excitement, Lin Tian slowly stroked his slightly stubbled chin and thought to himself, "It''s time to bring He Qianqian closer to my side." Lin Tian had been considering the idea of bringing He Qianqian closer for a while, but the conditions weren''t right before; now they were ripe. Lin Tian had already figured it out, he would get He Qianqian to take part in this year''s postgraduate entrance exam and have her enroll as a postgraduate student at Wu''an University. In this way, both He Qianqian and Bu Mengting would be at the same university. Sear?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The most important thing was that Lin Tian would be able to see both girls every day. "Then I''ll rent a place outside and every day... hehe..." The thought brought a drool to Lin Tian''s face, and he wiped his mouth, excited. After reveling in his blissful fantasies for a while, Lin Tian, some ten minutes later, noticed that Zhang Tao and the others still hadn''t returned. Glancing at the clock, it was nearly ten o''clock. After some thought, Lin Tian dialed Zhang Tao''s number. As soon as the call connected, Lin Tian immediately cursed, "You bunch of deadbeats, why aren''t you back yet? It''s almost lights out!" "Quiet down, we''re gaming over here, are you coming or not! We''re pulling an all-nighter!" It was Guo Rong''s voice that came from the phone, not Zhang Tao''s. Following this, Guo Rong''s yelling came through the phone, "Behind you, beware!" Lin Tian rolled his eyes at the noisy sounds from the phone and then shook his head, "Forget it, you guys have fun, I''m not coming!" After a few words, Lin Tian hung up the phone. With his dorm mates not returning, Lin Tian didn''t wait any longer and went straight to sleep. The next morning at 6:30, Lin Tian awoke early. Upon waking, he found that his dorm mates still hadn''t come back. Looking at the empty beds, Lin Tian shook his head and got up to wash and brush. After washing up, Lin Tian prepared to go to the canteen to buy breakfast. At this time, there were a lot of people buying breakfast, with a long queue formed in front of the serving window. Lin Tian lined up at the end of the queue, glanced at the long line ahead of him, and after a moment''s thought, he took out his phone and dialed He Qianqian''s number. "Hello, Qianqian, are you up yet?" "Not yet... still sleeping..." A lazy voice came through the phone from He Qianqian. "Still asleep? Get up, or be careful I''ll spank your butt!" Lin Tian chuckled. "Really? Then come on over!" After chatting for a while, He Qianqian became a bit more awake and teased upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. "Oh, getting sassy now, huh? Just wait until you get here and see how I''ll deal with you!" "And how will you deal with me?" "Family law awaits!" Lin Tian said fiercely. "Family law my foot, drop it! You''re always thinking about unhealthy stuff!" He Qianqian''s dissatisfied coo came through the phone. "What''s unhealthy? I..." While on the phone, Lin Tian continued to move forward in the queue. As he walked, suddenly, Lin Tian noticed a tall and burly figure appear in front of him. This person directly stood in front of Lin Tian. Upon seeing this individual, Lin Tian was startled. It took him a moment to realize that this fellow had cut in line. Lin Tian gave the man a glance and frowned, then reached out and tapped his arm, "Hey, could you please line up?" The man Lin Tian tapped didn''t react at all. Witnessing this, Lin Tian tapped again with more emphasis, "I said, could you line up?" "What''s it to you!" The man turned around with an unpleasant tone, looking impatient. Seeing the impatience on the man''s face, Lin Tian felt somewhat annoyed. You don''t line up and still act justified? With that thought, Lin Tian coldly said, "I''m telling you not to cut in line!" "And what if I did! Fuck!" The man said disdainfully. Hearing this, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing through them. With a chilly face, Lin Tian slightly tilted his head up and stared at him, "Are you looking to die?" "Die, your motherfucker!" Li Dong roared angrily, pushing his palm directly towards Lin Tian''s chest. Seeing the palm thrusting towards his chest, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed and his leg flew up instantly! Bang! Li Dong was directly kicked to the ground by Lin Tian. Having taken the initiative to strike and getting kicked by Lin Tian instead, Li Dong was stunned. After a moment of stunned silence, Li Dong angrily got up with the support of his hands from the ground and shouted, "Kid, you''re asking for it!" Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire With that, he charged towards Lin Tian with a face full of rage. Lin Tian looked on coldly and stood still. "Hey, classmate, classmate!" Just as the two were about to come to blows, the surrounding students reacted, and some of them quickly intervened to break up the fight. "Let go of me, damn it, if I don''t teach him a lesson today, he won''t know how many eyes Prince Ma has!" His body held back by two or three people and unable to get through, Li Dong pointed at Lin Tian arrogantly and continued to curse. Chapter 217 All the Pretty Girls Belong to Lin Tian! Lin Tian gave him a cold glance and curled his lips in disdain, "Idiot!"After speaking, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered with him anymore and turned to walk away, heading toward another window. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire "Damn it, what did you say? If you have the guts, don''t walk away!" Seeing Lin Tian insult him and then just walk off, Li Dong pointed at Lin Tian with a face full of rage. Had it not been for a few classmates holding him back, he might have actually charged over and hit Lin Tian. Listening to the shouts from behind, Lin Tian''s face showed complete indifference, as if he didn''t take Li Dong seriously at all. After buying some steamed buns at another window, Lin Tian began to nibble on one as he walked outside. On his way out, Lin Tian deliberately looked back at Li Dong and noticed he was being earnestly engaged in conversation by a passionate classmate, unable to come after him. "Lucky you!" Glancing at the guy, Lin Tian mumbled quietly while nibbling on his pork bun. Lin Tian had expected him to come after him. Had Li Dong done so, Lin Tian wouldn''t have minded teaching him why the flower was so red. But, to his surprise, Li Dong was held back and didn''t approach. However, Lin Tian didn''t mind, as this incident was just a minor interruption for him. After finishing breakfast and watching TV in the dorm for a while, Lin Tian looked at the time and then headed to the teaching building. Today was Saturday, and normally there wouldn''t be school, but Lin Tian had an elective class. At twelve past ten in the morning, while in the middle of his art appreciation class, Lin Tian felt his phone vibrate slightly in his pocket. Lin Tian took out his phone and saw it was He Qianqian calling. With his phone in hand, he glanced at the teacher on the podium and then lowered his head to answer in a soft voice, "Hello?" Lin Tian whispered. "Little Tian, I''ve arrived at your school. Where are you?" He Qianqian''s voice came through the phone. "You''ve arrived? So soon? Where are you now?" Lin Tian seemed surprised; he thought He Qianqian wouldn''t arrive until at least eleven. "I''m near the supermarket on your campus right now, where are you?" "Uh..." Glancing at the teacher on the podium again, Lin Tian then lowered his head and whispered, "My class ends in fifteen minutes. Wait for me a bit. There''s a milk tea shop next to the campus supermarket. You can sit there for a while." "Okay, sure, I''ll wait for you!" He Qianqian didn''t say much and simply nodded. "Alright, see you in a bit." Fifteen minutes later, as soon as the class ended, Lin Tian ran to the milk tea shop next to the campus supermarket. On the other side, the atmosphere in the milk tea shop changed noticeably due to He Qianqian''s arrival. Whispers of conversation kept popping up softly. "Hey, that girl''s not bad! Really pretty!" "Which one?" The person looked up, and immediately saw He Qianqian sitting quietly to the side. Just then, He Qianqian turned her head slightly, revealing half of her delicate face. Even though they didn''t see the full picture, in that moment, the first person''s heart skipped a beat. Staring dumbstruck at He Qianqian for a while, he turned his head and whispered to his tablemate, "She''s really pretty, isn''t she? Which department is she from? How come I''ve never seen her before?" "I''ve never seen her either. Is she from another school? I should know about such a high-level beauty!" ... "Hey, look, there''s an extremely beautiful woman sitting over there!" "Where? Let me see!" The person then looked in the direction being pointed to. Upon looking, they were stunned and their eyes brightened instantly. ... These snippets of dialogue were common in the milk tea shop, and ever since He Qianqian''s arrival, she successfully captured the attention of everyone inside. He Qianqian was inherently very beautiful, but she usually didn''t wear makeup. Today, to meet Lin Tian, she had deliberately applied some light makeup. This bit of makeup instantly elevated her appearance a notch, making her no less stunning than the big stars. The difference was that He Qianqian possessed a serene quality that those celebrities didn''t have. After arriving at the milk tea shop, He Qianqian ordered a juice and quietly waited. Seeing He Qianqian sitting there quietly, many male students in the milk tea shop surreptitiously looked toward her. Some even made a point of sitting down not far in front of He Qianqian to steal glances at her. He Qianqian naturally felt everyone''s stares, but she didn''t show any reaction. She had been beautiful since childhood and was used to such attention ever since elementary school. Igneous to the stares, He Qianqian gently lowered her head and took a small sip of her juice. After waiting quietly for a while, suddenly, a male student holding two cups of milk tea approached He Qianqian. Seeing the boy''s actions, everyone immediately turned their gaze toward him. The boy was 1.8 meters tall, with a confident smile spread across his face. Approaching He Qianqian, the boy gently placed a cup of milk tea in front of her, bowed slightly, and smiled, "Beauty, please have a milk tea!" Seeing the milk tea suddenly appear before her, and then looking up at the smiling face of the young man, He Qianqian was stunned for a moment. She lightly twirled a lock of hair on her cheek with her hand and smiled, "Sorry, I don''t drink milk tea." "Then what would you like? My treat!" Hearing this, the man said with a smile, and with that, he took a seat opposite He Qianqian. He Qianqian glanced at the man and shook her head, "Sorry, I don''t need anything." With that, she bowed her head and quietly sipped her juice, not speaking anymore. Seeing that He Qianqian was ignoring him, the young man didn''t give up and continued to prattle on about something. Unable to stand this man''s words any longer, He Qianqian stood up and walked to another empty table nearby. "Uh, you..." Seeing He Qianqian stand up and leave, the man was taken aback, lifting his head with a surprised look as he watched her go. Watching He Qianqian sit down at another table, even the thick-skinned man didn''t have the audacity to follow her. His expression revealed some discomfort. If Lin Tian had been there, he would have recognized that this person was Li Dong, who had had a conflict with him earlier. "Damn! Serves him right! That''s satisfying!" Watching this scene, Guo Rong and some others in a corner nearby whispered to each other. After staying up all night, Guo Rong and the others had taken a brief nap and then went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, stopping by the milk tea shop for a drink. They had noticed He Qianqian the moment she entered. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Despite being captivated by He Qianqian, none of them had the courage to approach her. But it wasn''t just their own reluctance¡ªthey also didn''t want to see anyone else succeed. Hence, seeing the man fail made them naturally happy. It wasn''t just them, other male students who noticed the scene also felt a sense of satisfaction. "Pfft, a toad lusting after a swan''s flesh!" "Exactly!" ... In the next ten minutes, two more guys unable to bear the solitude made their move to strike up a conversation with He Qianqian. However, without exception, they all failed. Sitting quietly in the milk tea shop, He Qianqian was getting somewhat annoyed by the frequent attempts to hit on her. She looked down at her watch; it had been fifteen minutes. "He should be here soon!" Checking the time, He Qianqian decided to wait a bit longer. "Does this girl already have a boyfriend?" Guo Rong and his friends at the entrance whispered amongst themselves. "So pretty, she must have one already, isn''t that obvious?" Feng Jiabao rolled her eyes at Guo Rong''s comment. "Wonder who the lucky guy is to be her boyfriend," Guo Rong said enviously. Scanning Guo Rong''s envious expression, Zhang Tao next to him laughed mockingly, "No matter who it is, you definitely don''t stand a chance! Haha!" "I might not, but neither do you!" Guo Rong shot back at Zhang Tao with an annoyed look. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Lin Tianyi, having dashed to the milk tea shop right after class, spotted Guo Rong and the others at the entrance. Hearing this familiar voice, Guo Rong and the others were startled, then turned their heads with surprised expressions, "Lin Tian, why are you here, weren''t you in class?" "I finished my class, but what about you guys? You stayed up all night, why run here instead of sleeping?" As he said this, Lin Tian looked around the milk tea shop. His gaze swept the room, and soon, Lin Tian saw He Qianqian sitting near the wall. "We took a nap and just happened to come to the supermarket to pick up some stuff," Guo Rong replied and then, as if struck by a thought, his eyes lit up excitedly, looking at Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, there''s a top-tier beauty here! A true top-tier beauty!" "Where?" At the mention, Lin Tian asked reflexively. But the moment he spoke, Lin Tian thought of something¡ªcould they be talking about Qianqian? "There! That''s her!" Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Tian''s question, Guo Rong pointed out He Qianqian''s location. With a glance, Lin Tian looked at the quietly sitting He Qianqian and then turned to Guo Rong and the others with a smile, "Is she very pretty?" "Of course, she''s super top-tier, on par with your Mengting!" Guo Rong said confidently. To add emphasis, Guo Rong highlighted, "You know, in just ten minutes, two guys already tried to chat her up, but both failed miserably. Who knows who''s lucky enough to have such a beautiful girl." Hearing this, Lin Tian grinned, subconsciously touching his nose, musing inwardly: That person is me, brother! Chuckling, Lin Tian looked at his friends with a smile, "Their failure to charm her shows their lack of appeal, watch your brother''s move!" As he said this, Lin Tian was about to walk over to He Qianqian. But before he could take a step, a mocking voice rang out nearby: "Trash will always be trash, still dreaming of a toad seeking a swan''s flesh?" At the sound, Lin Tian''s face changed slightly, the smile vanishing as he slowly turned his head. Frowning lightly, Lin Tian was quite displeased as he recognized the person as Li Dong, who had cut in line and had a confrontation with him that morning. To think he had let him off in the morning and now he was courting death again. "This was the first guy who tried to hit on her." Hearing the voice, Guo Rong whispered a reminder to him. Hearing that, Lin Tian coldly swept Li Dong with a glance and then turned to walk straight towards He Qianqian. Watching Lin Tian walk towards He Qianqian, a disdainful smile crept across Li Dong''s face. Did that toad think he had a chance with the goddess? Chapter 218 Embraced from Left and Right Pat pat...With a series of crisp footsteps, Lin Tian walked briskly towards He Qianqian. Seeing Lin Tian heading straight for He Qianqian, the eyes of everyone in the milk tea shop turned towards him. On seeing Lin Tian, people began whispering to each other. "Look, another one''s going over." Hearing that, the person next to them directed their gaze towards Lin Tian. After a quick glance at Lin Tian, the person shook their head dismissively, "Definitely no chance." "Exactly, he even dares to go over, no idea where he got the courage from." Lin Tian wasn''t handsome, certainly not as handsome as the previous two men, and he wasn''t tall either, only 1.7 meters. His bearing was average as well. He looked just like an ordinary person. Compared with the previous two, Lin Tian didn''t stand a chance. Since those two had failed, they didn''t believe Lin Tian could succeed either. Seeing that Lin Tian really did go over, Li Dong said with a sneer, "He actually went over. Isn''t he embarrassed with that short, poor, and ugly look!" Contempt! He was very disdainful of Lin Tian. Lin Tian had sharp hearing. Although the murmurs around him were quiet, Lin Tian heard them all. Hearing those sounds, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Approaching from behind He Qianqian, he glanced at her soft black hair and stopped. When everyone saw Lin Tian stop behind He Qianqian, they all looked at him, ready to watch the scene unfold. But what Lin Tian did next surprised everyone. Standing behind He Qianqian, Lin Tian gently tapped her shoulder and said with a smile, "Beauty!" Startled by the sudden tap on her shoulder, He Qianqian was alarmed! But hearing the familiar voice behind her, He Qianqian immediately relaxed and turned her head with a joyful expression! As soon as He Qianqian turned around, Lin Tian gently lifted her chin, tilting her head up slightly. With He Qianqian''s head tilted up slightly, her enticing lips came into Lin Tian''s view. Seeing those shy and endearing lips, Lin Tian bent down slightly and gave a quick kiss. "Eh..." Seeing this, everyone''s eyes widened. They were all dumbstruck. Dumbfounded! Everyone''s mind seemed a bit muddled, including Guo Rong and his friends. Guo Rong and his friends knew Lin Tian was daring, but they hadn''t expected him to go as far as to kiss someone publicly! Daring! Too daring! Li Dong, upon seeing this, was stunned. After a moment, a flash of anger crossed his mind. In his eyes, He Qianqian was exceptionally outstanding and beautiful. Although He Qianqian ignored him, it did not hinder his admiration for her. And now something he liked and admired was being spoiled by someone he disliked, how could he not be angry? Holding back his anger, Li Dong had already decided that if the girl cried out, he would go and beat Lin Tian half to death. Maybe he could even play the hero and save the beauty, and perhaps take their relationship further. While Li Dong was angrily making his own calculations, the scene that followed stunned him once more, leaving him in disbelief. After kissing He Qianqian for a while, they parted lips. Standing up, Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian and tilted his head, saying with a smile, "Let''s go." "Oh!" He Qianqian nodded with a slight bow, her cheeks a bit flushed as she stood up and took Lin Tian''s arm. With so many people watching, He Qianqian still felt somewhat shy. Seeing He Qianqian cling to Lin Tian''s arm like a little bird, even the slowest person could see what was going on. Clearly, the girl and Lin Tian were a couple. Realizing this, many people at the scene felt a surge of unfairness. "Damn! Why does this guy, who looks so lousy, have such a pretty girlfriend? I''m better-looking than him and seem stronger too!" Lin Tian did look quite average, and his body, concealed by clothes, seemed quite ordinary, too. He was the kind of person who could be lost in a crowd and never found again. In fact, many people at the scene thought they were better than Lin Tian. Seeing He Qianqian choose such a boyfriend, they instantly felt a little annoyed. Simply put, they were jealous! Unconcerned with those envious and jealous stares, Lin Tian walked with He Qianqian on his arm, his face all smiles as they approached Guo Rong and his friends. By this time, Guo Rong and his friends were completely stunned, their mouths hanging open and their faces in disbelief as they looked at Lin Tian. With He Qianqian''s hand in his, Lin Tian brought her over to his roommates and said with a smile: "Let me introduce her, this is my girlfriend, He Qianqian. And these jokers are my roommates. This is Guo Rong, this is Zhang Tao, and this is Feng Jiabao!" "You..." Zhang Tao stared at Lin Tian blankly, then at He Qianqian, at a loss for words, he stuttered, "Then Bu..." Zhang Tao hadn''t finished speaking when suddenly, he felt a kick on his foot. After the kick, Zhang Tao paused, turned his head, and saw Guo Rong desperately winking at him. Seeing Guo Rong''s gesture, Zhang Tao was baffled for a moment before catching on and closing his mouth. Zhang Tao was puzzled. If this was Lin Tian''s girlfriend, then what about Bu Mengting? Two-timing? Despite his confusion, Zhang Tao knew this wasn''t the time to bring this up, especially not in front of the girl. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire Not only Zhang Tao thought so, but Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao did as well. They knew this was something that definitely couldn''t be said now. Glancing at the others, Lin Tian knew what they were thinking, but he didn''t explain anything. Turning to look at He Qianqian, he smiled and said, "We''ll be leaving first." Then, turning to Guo Rong and the others, he added, "We''ve got things to do, but we''ll treat everyone to dinner tonight." "Ah? Oh, sure! Go ahead!" Startled for a moment, Guo Rong and the others quickly nodded. "Lin Tian..." Just as Lin Tian was about to head out, suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside. Following the voice, a gorgeous figure walked in. The girl was wearing a yellow T-shirt with an image of "Pleasant Goat" on it, paired with a pair of blue jeans. She looked exceedingly innocent and cute. Seeing this girl, everyone''s eyes lit up. Beauty! Another top-notch beauty ah! This beauty was completely different from He Qianqian, one full of youthful vitality, the other a mature woman''s charm! But both were top-notch beauties. "What luck today, to see two top-notch beauties at the same time." "Such a feast for the eyes!" S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "This person seems to be looking for someone. Which guy has such a gorgeous girlfriend?" "Qianqian?" Just when everyone was filled with curiosity, Bu Mengting called out again. Saying so, Bu Mengting walked toward Lin Tian with a smile on her face. Coming up to He Qianqian, Bu Mengting revealed a sweet smile, "I heard from Lin Tian that you were here, I thought he was playing a trick on me!" "Not at all!" He Qianqian smiled slightly. "Enough talk, let''s go." After glancing at the two women, Lin Tian stepped forward, his hands playfully messing with them. With his left arm around Bu Mengting, Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Beauty, give me a kiss!" "No!" Hearing this, Bu Mengting''s cheeks instantly turned crimson with embarrassment. With so many people watching, she really couldn''t let loose. "Quick, give me a kiss!" Lin Tian pouted. Glancing up at Lin Tian, she could tell he really wanted it! Pouting slightly, Bu Mengting closed her eyes and quickly pecked Lin Tian''s face, as fleeting as a dragonfly skimming the water. "Hehe..." Having received the peck, Lin Tian smiled contentedly and then, with his left arm around Bu Mengting and his right around He Qianqian, he bade his roommates goodbye and left with the two girls. Watching Lin Tian walk away confidently with two girls, Guo Rong felt thousands of alpacas stampeding through his heart. At first, he was worried that Lin Tian would slip up and dare not mention Bu Mengting in front of He Qianqian. But now, he realized that he had been unnecessarily worried. That bastard Lin Tian actually managed to handle both girls and even brazenly embraced them in public! Damn it! Comparison is truly the thief of joy! Guo Rong was visibly unhappy! As unhappy as Guo Rong was, Li Dong was even more so. When he found out that He Qianqian was Lin Tian''s girlfriend, Li Dong felt extremely upset. Setting aside his conflict and disdain for Lin Tian, even without that, he believed he was superior to Lin Tian. Why didn''t he have such a beautiful girlfriend? Why does this short, poor loser have one? Ultimately, what made Li Dong even more depressed was that this detestable guy had not just one girlfriend, but two. And it wasn''t just two girlfriends, but two extremely beautiful ones. That they were both so stunning was one thing, but the fact that each girl seemed fine with the other''s presence was beyond belief. How was this possible? Why him, and not me? Feeling upset, Li Dong was incredibly agitated. The morning''s events had already left him with a deep dislike for Lin Tian, and now this just piled on, bringing Li Dong''s frustration to a peak. This guy must be rich; they must be with him only because of his money. Yes, that''s it. With this thought, Li Dong became more and more convinced of his own idea. Seeing Lin Tian leaving with two girls, Li Dong couldn''t help but sneer sarcastically, "Putting on a show of innocence, but in the end, it''s money that did the job! Shameless!" As he spoke, Li Dong purposefully raised his voice! He was just that peeved! He wanted Lin Tian and the two girls to hear him! Hearing this, Lin Tian, who was about to leave the milk tea shop, halted in his tracks. Lin Tian''s face turned an ashen hue in an instant, and after taking a deep breath, he slowly turned around. Lin Tian stared coldly at Li Dong! Lin Tian thought he had kept his temper well enough. Initially, when Li Dong was causing a scene and provoking him in the cafeteria, he didn''t do anything to him; nor did he retaliate when Li Dong mocked him before. But now, Lin Tian was truly enraged. Even Buddha has his rage! There is a limit to what one can bear, and this was beyond that limit! Seeing Lin Tian''s angry expression, Li Dong showed not a hint of fear, instead gazing at Lin Tian with scorn and derision, "What are you looking at? Is it such a big deal just because you have some stinking money?" In Li Dong''s eyes, what else but money could explain why Lin Tian, this loser, could have such two beautiful women at the same time? Staring coldly at Li Dong, Lin Tian''s lips tightened and his eyes narrowed slightly. His muscles tensed slowly! This was the sign of Lin Tian''s extreme fury! Chapter 219 Meet Again Noticing Lin Tian''s movements, He Qianqian, who was next to him, grabbed his arm and shook her head slightly, whispering, "Forget it." sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.He Qianqian knew Lin Tian''s temper, but she didn''t want to escalate the situation. After all, this was Lin Tian''s school, and Lin Tian would still have to live here. Making a scene wouldn''t be good. Following He Qianqian''s gesture, before Lin Tian could even say anything, Li Dong spoke again. Li Dong''s eyes swept over He Qianqian and Bu Mengting''s faces, looking at the two girls with a mocking expression, he said, "How much for one night? How about I take care of it for one night? Don''t worry; I can afford it!" "Go to hell!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian could no longer hold back. He shook off He Qianqian''s hand and swiftly walked towards Li Dong with an ashen face. Quickly reaching Li Dong, Lin Tian reached out his hand and fiercely grabbed Li Dong''s hair. Seeing Lin Tian''s hand reaching for him, Li Dong dodged back while throwing a punch towards Lin Tian''s face. Noticing Li Dong''s movement, Lin Tian scoffed coldly, and his hand movements suddenly sped up, his hand almost instantly appearing on Li Dong''s head. As his hand reached Li Dong''s head, Lin Tian fiercely grabbed it and violently pushed it down! Bang! Along with a solid sound, Li Dong''s head violently struck the table. "Bang!" Another loud noise followed as Lin Tian lifted his head and fiercely pressed it down again. "Bang bang bang!" Lin Tian repeatedly yanked Li Dong''s hair and smashed his head down on the table. After going back and forth four or five times, Li Dong was dazed by Lin Tian''s actions; when Lin Tian lifted him again, Li Dong''s face was already covered with blood. Pulling up Li Dong''s head, and seeing his bloodied face, Lin Tian was still not appeased. His eyes scanned around and spotted a milk tea on an adjacent table. Immediately, Lin Tian, holding Li Dong''s head, dragged him towards the nearby table. Upon reaching the table, Lin Tian ignored the classmates staring blankly and picked up the scalding milk tea with his left hand. As he lifted the cup, Lin Tian felt a burning sensation on his palm; the milk tea was very hot. Holding the scalding milk tea in his left hand, Lin Tian, with a cold face, pinched Li Dong''s cheeks with his right hand, directly prying open his mouth, and then promptly poured the milk tea into the open mouth. "Glug glug..." Feeling the scalding milk tea entering his mouth, Li Dong''s originally lifeless eyes suddenly bulged, his face struggling. "Glug glug..." The white milk tea that Lin Tian directly poured into his mouth was then spat out by him. Li Dong struggled frantically. Hot! Hot! He felt an intense scorching sensation in his mouth, as if he had directly drunk boiling water. He wanted to struggle, to escape, but the strength in Lin Tian''s arms was too great, leaving no room for him to resist. "Eh..." Watching the milk tea froth from Li Dong''s mouth, seeing the steam rising from the white milk tea, and watching Li Dong''s painful, frantic struggles. Seeing this scene, everyone in the milk tea shop was stunned. They swallowed hard. After pouring the entire cup of milk tea into Li Dong''s mouth, Lin Tian finally let go of his hand. As soon as Lin Tian let go, Li Dong collapsed on the floor, his hands tightly covering his mouth, emitting a painful moan. Coldly watching Li Dong, who was curled up and moaning incessantly at his feet, Lin Tian snorted coldly and then, without paying any more attention, turned around and walked away. Approaching the two dazed girls, Lin Tian didn''t say anything and directly pulled the two girls away. It was only after Lin Tian had pulled the girls away that the people in the milk tea shop began to react, their faces in shock. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Quick! Everything happened too fast, from Lin Tian''s outbreak to his departure, it all took less than a minute. By the time they came to their senses, Lin Tian had already left. Looking at Li Dong on the ground, continuously moaning in pain, Guo Rong felt a twinge in his teeth and muttered softly, "That was totally asking for it. Why provoke Lin Tian?" "Exactly!" Hearing this, Feng Jiabao and Zhang Tao nodded repeatedly, the scene they had just witnessed was too brutal and violent. Meanwhile, Lin Tian was pulling the two girls out of the milk tea shop. Just after leaving the milk tea shop, He Qianqian turned her head, her eyes slightly reproachful as she looked at Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, you were too impulsive. What if he had been seriously hurt?" "No worries, I was careful!" Lin Tian replied nonchalantly on hearing this. "You went a bit too far just now. After all, you still live here. Making a scene would not be good for you," He Qianqian said worriedly, seeing Lin Tian''s indifferent expression. "Relax!" Seeing He Qianqian''s worried face, Lin Tian showed a confident smile: "If I dare to act, naturally I have a way to deal with the aftermath. Don''t worry, we''ve got some backing!" "You..." Glancing at Lin Tian, He Qianqian shook her head helplessly, "Fine, I won''t nag you anymore. Do as you see fit." After resting for half an hour, the three of them had regained some strength. Lin Tian sat up and rubbed his stomach, looking at the two girls, "I''m getting a bit hungry, how about you?" "Of course!" Bu Mengting rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, slightly annoyed as she dressed, "Your moves were so vigorous, it drained so much energy, I''ve been hungry for a while." Seeing Bu Mengting''s somewhat gloomy expression, Lin Tian tilted his head slightly, grinning cheekily at her: "Mengting, you seem a bit upset on your face. Who was the one begging nonstop just now?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting''s face instantly turned bright red, she turned her head away, and huffed, "I''m not talking to you anymore!" "Hehe..." Seeing Bu Mengting''s coy demeanor, Lin Tian chuckled proudly. "Don''t you dare bully her!" Seeing Lin Tian looking triumphant, He Qianqian, who was getting dressed, couldn''t hold back her irritation, grabbed a white pillow from the bed, and threw it at Lin Tian. Lin Tian caught the pillow with a smack, twirling it in his hand while sizing up He Qianqian''s perfect figure with a cheeky grin, "I''m not just bullying her¡ªI''ve bullied you too!" "You..." He Qianqian glared at Lin Tian, but ultimately, under his intense gaze, she admitted defeat, turned her head away and continued dressing. A few minutes later, Lin Tian, with the envious look of the innkeeper, left with the two girls. As Lin Tian and the two girls walked to the school, Lin Tian took out his cellphone from his pocket. Taking out the phone, Lin Tian directly called Guo Rong. "Hey, Sleepyhead, where are you guys?" "In the dorm? Great, come out for a meal. Big brother is treating you to dinner at Ziyang Restaurant." "Okay, sounds good. I won''t come to the dorm then, I''ll wait for you there." After a few more words, Lin Tian hung up and looked at the two girls with a smile, "Let''s go, we''re off to eat." Finishing his words, Lin Tian suddenly turned to look at Bu Mengting, "Oh, Mengting, do you want to invite your dorm mates too?" "I''d rather not, it''s too embarrassing!" Bu Mengting expressed her disapproval with a look of disbelief at Lin Tian''s suggestion. Knowing what Bu Mengting was thinking, Lin Tian did not insist, simply nodding, "Okay, as you wish." Two hours later, at the Osmanthus Hall of Ziyang Restaurant, six people had almost finished their meal. By then, the table was nearly cleared of dishes. Patting his rounded belly, Lin Tian stood up contentedly and stretched, "All done eating? Then let''s head back." "Let''s go!" Everyone had finished eating and had no objections to Lin Tian''s suggestion. After the meal, Lin Tian sent his roommates off, then returned to the motel with the two girls once more! Naturally, it was another wild time! During this, Lin Tian also discussed the matter of postgraduate studies with He Qianqian! He Qianqian agreed too! He Qianqian stayed in Lin Tian''s school for one day before heading back as she needed to prepare for her classes! The next day, Lin Tian originally planned to hang out with Bu Mengting, only to find out that she had gone out with her roommates! Helplessly, Lin Tian had to go back to Wu''an City alone! "How boring!" Walking in downtown Wu''an City, Lin Tian yawned, looking utterly bored! Walking a distance, just as Lin Tian was thinking about whether he should head back, suddenly, a voice called out from behind him... "Lin, Lin Tian?" The voice seemed hesitant, as if unsure. It was a girl''s voice, and quite pleasant-sounding! Lin Tian also found the voice somewhat familiar. Lin Tian turned around, slightly puzzled. As he turned, Lin Tian immediately saw a pretty girl looking hesitantly at him, her expression uncertain. Seeing the girl, Lin Tian felt very familiar, but he couldn''t immediately recall who she was. As Lin Tian turned around, the hesitation in Song Xiaohui''s eyes vanished, replaced by excitement. Song Xiaohui looked at Lin Tian with delight: "Lin Tian, do you still remember me?" Chapter 220 Youre Enough! "Uh..." Seeing the surprise on Song Xiaohui''s face, Lin Tianyi was taken aback. His mind started spinning quickly.Seeing Lin Tian bewildered, Song Xiaohui''s mood seemed a bit downcast. However, she quickly adjusted herself, looking at Lin Tian with a smile and said, "You forgot, last time at the ATM you helped me, and we even had drinks together." "Oh, I remember now!" As soon as she said that, Lin Tian instantly recalled the event. Indeed, such an incident had occurred, but it was a long time ago. He had gone to the ATM to withdraw cash when a burly man was showing off in front of the ATM and wanted to start a fight but got taught a lesson by Lin Tian. Lin Tian remembered that he even had a juice with this girl in a juice bar afterward. What was the girl''s name again, Song Xiaohui? Glancing at the girl, Lin Tian gave a slight smile: "What a coincidence to meet you, Miss Song Xiaohui!" "You remember my name?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, a flicker of surprise flashed in Song Xiaohui''s eyes. "Of course!" Lin Tian said with a bit of pride: "I naturally remember such a beautiful girl!" Lin Tian had a photographic memory; it was quite easy for him to recall things when he wanted to. But Song Xiaohui didn''t know about Lin Tian''s abilities, and upon hearing his words, her cheeks flushed with a hint of shyness as she asked softly, "Why couldn''t I get through when I called you?" "Ah?" Lin Tian was startled by her question then quickly collected himself, scratched his head, and laughed awkwardly: "I changed my number later and forgot to tell you, haha, sorry about that!" Lin Tian explained somewhat sheepishly. "Oh, I see!" Song Xiaohui nodded, seeming to believe Lin Tian''s explanation. After thinking it over, Song Xiaohui curiously asked Lin Tian, "What are you doing here?" "Just clearing my mind, what about you?" Lin Tian replied with a slight smile. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire "Me too." Hearing Lin Tian''s reply, Song Xiaohui''s eyes brightened a little. "How about a walk?" Glancing at the girl, Lin Tian smiled faintly. He was always willing to interact with beautiful girls, and now that he''d encountered one and had a chat, he might as well keep the conversation going, if she wasn''t opposed to it. "Sure!" With no hesitation, Song Xiaohui promptly agreed to Lin Tian''s suggestion. Then, the two walked side by side with a leisurely pace. "Ouch!" Suddenly, after a few steps, Song Xiaohui let out a sharp cry. Startled by the sound, Lin Tian quickly turned his head to look. As he did, he saw Song Xiaohui falling backward; it looked like the heel of her high shoe got caught on something. Seeing Song Xiaohui about to fall, Lin Tian quickly bent down to help her. Thud! Lin Tian''s hands firmly caught Song Xiaohui''s fall. Glancing around, Lin Tian''s expression was a bit embarrassed. Furthermore, because he was bending down to support Song Xiaohui, they were extremely close. A faint fragrance continually wafted into Lin Tian''s nostrils. "You..." Song Xiaohui felt the hands as well and looked a bit embarrassed. Blushing, Song Xiaohui quietly said, "Help me up, please." "Ah? Oh! Okay!" Lin Tian, momentarily stunned, then nodded his head. "Swoosh!" Just as Lin Tian helped Song Xiaohui up, suddenly, a shiny black Audi car screeched to a stop beside them. Irked by the abrupt braking sound, Lin Tian frowned slightly and turned to look at the Audi. Turning his head, Lin Tian saw two young men jump out of the black Audi car. "Xiaohui!" The leading young man headed straight for Song Xiaohui as he got out. After a few steps, upon seeing Lin Tian next to Song Xiaohui, his expression changed, and he bellowed, "Kid, do you want to die? Get your filthy hands off her!" Hearing this shout, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly. "You looking for trouble, kid? Didn''t you hear me? Drop it, or I''ll make you," the other guy said as he walked over furiously and violently pushed at Lin Tian''s chest. Seeing the hand coming toward him, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and his muscles tensed up in an instant. The man''s push didn''t move Lin Tian, but Lin Tian''s hand, still supporting Song Xiaohui, loosened! "Wang Haoming, what are you doing!" Song Xiaohui exclaimed angrily at Wang Haoming''s actions. Surprised by Song Xiaohui''s call, Wang Haoming paused and pointed at Lin Tian before turning to Song Xiaohui and yelled, "Great! You find yourself a side piece behind my back, and you ask what I''m doing? I''d like to know what you''re up to!" "You''re talking nonsense! I told you we broke up; why do you keep bothering me!" Song Xiaohui shouted back. "Break up? Just because you say we broke up doesn''t mean it''s over that easily!" "Go away; I don''t want to see you!" Song Xiaohui said angrily. "Me leave? Where should I go? If I go, you''ll be fine with this guy, right?" Saying this, Wang Haoming pointed at Lin Tian and said with a furious expression to Song Xiaohui, "You believe I can chop him up!" Hearing the other''s explosive words, Lin Tian frowned slightly. At the same time, he sent a wisp of consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. "Enough, just get lost; I don''t want to see you!" Song Xiaohui turned her head away. "Haoming, seems our sister-in-law isn''t giving you face. Looks like she''s smitten with this guy," another man next to them said snidely. This was the young man following Wang Haoming! "Xi Dong! Shut up, it''s not your place to talk here," Song Xiaohui snapped angrily. "Wow! Sister-in-law, you''ve become a lot more irritable now, huh? Is it really because of this guy, as I guessed?" Xi Dong said with a sneering smile, glancing over at Lin Tian. Narrowing his eyes, Lin Tian glanced at Xi Dong and realized he was even more annoying than Wang Haoming. Noticing Lin Tian''s glance, Xi Dong let out a scoff and swaggered toward Lin Tian. Seeing Xi Dong''s move, Lin Tian''s face changed slightly, and he stepped back. As Lin Tian moved, Xi Dong''s kick went wide. Seeing his kick miss, Xi Dong''s face darkened, and he glared coldly at Lin Tian, pointing at Lin Tian''s chest, "Kid, try dodging again, and I swear I''ll cripple you!" With his finger pressing hard against Lin Tian''s chest and seeing that Lin Tian didn''t dodge, Xi Dong sneered and swung at Lin Tian''s face. Slap!

Clasping Xi Dong''s wrist tightly, Lin Tian said calmly, "That''s enough!" With that, Lin Tian applied force with his hand. Chapter 221 Dads Troubles! "Crack!" With a forceful twist of Lin Tian''s hand, a sound of bone snapping echoed.Xi Dong''s face instantly changed, turning deathly pale! Beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Xi Dong slowly opened his mouth, trying to scream, but no sound came out at first. It was a while before a wail of agony burst from Xi Dong''s lips! "Ah!" Watching the pain-stricken Xi Dong, Lin Tian''s expression remained cold as his hand gradually exerted more pressure. "It hurts! It hurts!" As Lin Tian increased his grip, waves of piercing pain emanated from the wrist. Xi Dong''s face twisted in agony. Looking at him coldly, Lin Tian fiercely flung his hand. Slap! In an instant, Xi Dong was thrown to the ground by Lin Tian. "Ah!" Lying on the ground, Xi Dong clutched his wrist tightly, trying to force it, but this just made the pain unbearably worse. "It''s broken, my hand is broken!" Xi Dong cried out in pain on the ground. "Xiao Dong, what''s wrong with you?" Witnessing this scene, Wang Haoming was startled and hurried over, crouching down to look at Xi Dong. "My hand¡­ my hand is broken!" Xi Dong lay on the ground, continuously howling in pain. "You¡­" Looking at the painfully grimacing Xi Dong, Wang Haoming was shocked and turned his head to look at Lin Tian. He found Lin Tian''s face to be calm, as if nothing had happened. Seeing Lin Tian''s demeanor, Wang Haoming felt a surge of anger, grabbed a rock from the nearby flower bed, and hurled it at Lin Tian, bellowing, "Die!" Whoosh! Watching the rapidly approaching stone, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, his muscles tensing in an instant, "Ha!" Lin Tian threw a fierce punch. Lin Tian''s fist collided with the grey stone! Bang! With a tremendous boom, clouds of dust erupted from Lin Tian''s fist, and tiny particles shot out from the midst of the dust. Pop pop! The small particles struck Wang Haoming''s feet, causing a painful sting. "This¡­" Wang Haoming stared blankly at the scene, dumbfounded. One punch! Lin Tian had actually shattered the stone with a single punch! Is this even human? In an instant, droplets of cold sweat started to form on Wang Haoming''s forehead. After giving Wang Haoming a glance, Lin Tian withdrew his fist and looked down at it. His own fist was slightly red but showed no signs of injury. After eyeing Wang Haoming, Lin Tian began to walk towards him at a measured pace. "You, what do you want?" Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Wang Haoming was startled, stepping back in a panic. Lin Tian remained silent and kept walking towards him. "You, what are you doing? Don''t come any closer!" As Lin Tian stepped towards him, Wang Haoming''s expression grew increasingly tense, and he appeared very flustered. He stumbled several steps backward and, due to his panic, tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground. Seeing Wang Haoming completely intimidated, Lin Tian sneered, sizing him up and down before laughing, "From now on, you''ll address me as ''Master'' when you see me, got it?" "I know, I know!" Wang Haoming nodded repeatedly. Whatever Lin Tian said was the law; Lin Tian had truly scared him. Shattering a stone fist to dust with one punch, is that even human? Getting hit oneself? How could that be? Seeing Wang Haoming so cooperative, Lin Tian also grew amused and then teased, "Let''s hear you say it!" "Master! You are the master!" In response to Lin Tian''s words, Wang Haoming nodded repeatedly. "Heh¡­" Lin Tian chuckled, shook his head, and decided not to waste any more time on him. He glanced over at the stunned Song Xiaohui beside him, then turned back to Wang Haoming with a warning, "If I ever see you bothering Xiaohui again, watch out!" "It won''t happen! It definitely won''t happen again!" Wang Haoming hastened to say. "Good!" Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction, and with a cold snort: "Scram!" "Yes! Yes!" Wang Haoming nodded repeatedly and then left in a disheveled state, supporting Xi Dong! After the two men had gone, Lin Tian turned to look at Song Xiaohui and discovered that she looked exhausted! "You¡­" Lin Tian wanted to say something but didn''t know what to say! Song Xiaohui sighed, looked up at Lin Tian, and showed a slightly apologetic smile: "You''ve been troubled this time; I''m really sorry!" "No problem!" Lin Tian shook his head! "I have something to do, so I''ll leave first. Let''s talk when I have time!" Song Xiaohui obviously wasn''t in a good mood. She hailed a cab, and before Lin Tian could react, she had already gone! Watching the departing taxi, Lin Tian looked speechless! Shaking his head and smirking, Lin Tian also hailed a cab to head home! Sitting in the back seat and looking at the scenery outside, Lin Tian muttered to himself: "Looks like I''ll need to get a driver''s license!" Last time, Lin Tian had given the car he won by playing basketball to his dad, as he couldn''t drive himself and didn''t have a license! Lost in his thoughts, Lin Tian inadvertently arrived at the entrance of his residential complex! Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire After paying the cab fare, Lin Tian headed towards his home! Arriving upstairs, he opened the door and while bending down to change his shoes, he shouted, "Mom, I''m home!" S§×ar?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After changing his shoes, Lin Tian realized no one had responded and looked around curiously. Glancing over, he immediately noticed his mom sitting in the living room. To Lin Tian''s surprise, he also saw his dad, Lin Cheng, on the sofa. "Dad, aren''t you at work?" Seeing Lin Cheng, Lin Tian seemed puzzled. At this time, Lin Cheng would usually be at the pig farm. Giving Lin Tian a glance, Lin Cheng slightly lowered his head without speaking, just solemnly taking a drag of his cigarette. Seeing his dad''s serious face, and turning to look at his equally upset mom, Lin Tian felt something was amiss. He sat down on the couch, looking at them curiously, "What happened? Did something go wrong?" "Nothing''s wrong. Have you eaten? If not, ask your mom to cook something," Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Tian, shook his head, and snuffed out his cigarette in the ashtray. "I''ll go cook," Shi Qing said as she stood up to head for the kitchen. "No need, I just ate, I''m not hungry. What''s wrong with you two, you seem a bit down?" Lin Tian called out to his mom, who was about to leave, asking curiously. "It''s nothing. Just something at the pig farm." Seeing Lin Tian persistently inquiring, Shi Qing reluctantly explained. "What''s up with the pig farm?" Lin Tian asked, puzzled. "Nothing, just focus on your studies. Telling you won''t help!" Lin Cheng''s tone revealed some irritation as Lin Tian kept asking. Glancing at his visibly irritable dad, Lin Tian said nothing more. After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian got up and headed for his sister''s room. He planned to ask Lin Fang what exactly was going on. He wanted to see if she knew. With his dad clearly in a bad mood and not thinking he could be of any help, Lin Tian decided not to ask him. Instead, he intended to see if his sister knew the situation. Reaching his sister''s room, Lin Tian knocked on the door. "Who is it?" came Lin Fang''s voice from inside. "Me, open the door," Lin Tian said firmly. "Oh, coming!" Soon, Lin Tian heard the sound of a chair moving. Moments later, the door opened. "Brother, what''s up?" Seeing Lin Tian at the door, Lin Fang asked with some curiosity. Walking into the room, Lin Tian looked at his sister and asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Dad isn''t in a good mood today, do you know what happened?" Chapter 222 Almighty Expert Lin Tian! "Oh, you''re talking about that!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Lin Fang''s face flashed with sudden realization, and she said: S~ea??h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Yes, it seems that the whole city has had an outbreak of swine fever, and the pigs at our family''s pig farm have contracted it too. Dad is really worried to death!" "All of the more than a thousand pigs have it?" Lin Tianqi asked in surprise. "Yes, otherwise he wouldn''t be so worried." At this, Lin Fang pursed her lips. "I see¡­" Hearing this, Lin Tian nodded in realization. All the income for Lin Tian''s family relied on this pig farm, so no wonder his dad was so worried now that the farm was facing this issue. Glancing at Lin Tian who seemed deep in thought, Lin Fang blinked and giggly said, "Brother, aren''t you really amazing? Do you have a way?" "Do you think I''m a vet?" Lin Tian replied with a glance at Lin Fang. "Seems like you''re not all-powerful after all!" Hearing this, Lin Fang''s face fell in disappointment. Even though Lin Fang''s understanding of Lin Tian wasn''t as deep as that of He Qianqian and Bu Mengting! But she still knew a bit about some of the miraculous things about him. So, she held a glimmer of hope for Lin Tian. Now hearing that even he had no solution, she couldn''t help but feel disappointed. After all, she still hoped that their family''s pig farm would be alright. Glancing at his somewhat disappointed sister, Lin Tian gave a faint smile, stroked his slightly stubbly chin, and chuckled, "It''s not entirely impossible!" "What?" Lin Fang looked up in surprise upon hearing this. Lin Tian raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled lightly, "I mean, it''s not impossible to cure the sick pigs at home." "Really?" Lin Fang''s eyes widened as she looked at Lin Tian. "Why would I lie to you?" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. "Yay, that''s great, I knew brother had a way!" Lin Fang excitedly kissed Lin Tian on the cheek and then ran out with a face full of excitement. "Dad, brother said he has a way!" Listening to the shouts of his sister outside, Lin Tian wiped the saliva off his face, speechless. "What way, go away!" Following his sister''s shouts, soon came their dad''s somewhat irritable voice. ** At noon, after lunch, Lin Tian and Lin Cheng headed to the pig farm together, and seeing Lin Tian going, Lin Fang persisted stubbornly to go as well. Of course, Lin Tian''s reason for going to the pig farm wasn''t to treat the pigs or anything. It was just to hang out. Lin Cheng didn''t believe Lin Fang when she said Lin Tian could treat the pigs. Seeing that his dad didn''t believe him, Lin Tian didn''t explain anything either. Explaining such things was troublesome, and Lin Tian didn''t want too many people to know about his superpower. Even if those people were his parents. Lin Cheng drove towards the pig farm. Since the pig farm was in the suburbs, by the time the three of them arrived at the pig farm, it was already past three in the afternoon. After they got out of the car, Lin Cheng paid no mind to Lin Tian and his sister, busying himself with his own things. The pig farm was also overwhelmed with many issues, and he couldn''t manage it all. With his dad ignoring them, Lin Tian was also happy to be at ease. After getting out of the car, Lin Tian changed into another set of clothes, ready to check out the situation at the pig farm. Now was the time of the epidemic, so hygiene definitely needed to be well managed. While Lin Tian was changing clothes, Lin Fang also changed alongside him. As she changed, Lin Fang curiously watched Lin Tian, "Brother, what can you do?" Even though their parents didn''t believe in Lin Tian''s abilities, Lin Fang had unswerving faith in him. If brother said it was possible, then it definitely was. Especially since that one time Lin Tian had saved Lin Fang, she now even had a sort of blind trust in him, Noticing the curiosity in his sister''s eyes, Lin Tian smiled slightly, "You''ll see in a bit." Saying this, Lin Tian zipped up his jacket and headed towards the pig farm. "Hey, wait for me!" Seeing Lin Tian walking off, Lin Fang hurriedly finished dressing and followed after him. Ten minutes later, Lin Tian and Lin Fang arrived inside the pig farm. "Cough, cough... cough, cough..." As soon as they entered the pig farm, a chorus of coughs followed. Clusters of coughing sounds made it seem very congested. This was not the cough of humans, but of pigs. Frowning slightly, Lin Tian walked slowly to a pigpen and looked inside. At a glance, Lin Tian''s brow furrowed. The pigs in the pen looked listless and kept coughing. Lin Tian even noticed that the feces in the pen were loose, clearly indicating the pigs were still having diarrhea. Frowning, Lin Tian then moved to check the other pens. After a round, he found that the entire pen was in this condition, with almost no pig not coughing. During this, Lin Tian also noticed a few feeders injecting the pigs. However, Lin Tian saw that these few feeders looked listless too, sighing every now and then. After walking around, seeing someone injecting a pen of pigs, Lin Tian recognized the person, who seemed to be called Old Xu. With a glance at Old Xu, Lin Tian asked, "Old Xu, how is it? Any effect?" "Ah, what effect can there be, it''s tough!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Old Xu looked up at Lin Tian, then sighed deeply and shook his head. "Is the situation really that serious?" Lin Fang asked curiously from the side. "Every pig across the city is in the same condition. Tell me, is that serious or not? I''m afraid we can''t dodge this bullet! Sigh," Old Xu sighed once more. "Indeed, I don''t even know what to do!" Upon hearing the conversation of several people, another employee from a nearby pig pen interjected. Everyone''s mood seemed down, all appearing somewhat despondent. Although the pig farm wasn''t their own, everyone was not happy about the situation. After all, they all worked for this pig farm. If the entire farm were to shut down, their bonuses would disappear, and they might even lose their jobs. For Lin Cheng, if the entire farm were to shut down due to the epidemic, his entire career would collapse too. Millions of money would be gone. It was precisely because of this that Lin Cheng appeared so anxious. After walking around and realizing the severity of the epidemic, Lin Fang looked worriedly at Lin Tian and said, "Bro, is it possible?" Lin Fang was also very worried. After all, the entire family relied almost entirely on this pig farm. If the farm shut down, the family''s financial situation would definitely be ruined. Hearing his sister''s words, Lin Tian pondered for a moment and didn''t speak. To cure it, to manage it? Of course, it was possible. For Lin Tian, as long as he was willing, none of these were issues. Even without spending much, just a bottle of Level Zero Healing Water could take care of it. Even if one bottle wasn''t enough, two would certainly suffice. What really made Lin Tian hesitate was whether he should intervene or not. Based on Lin Tian''s current capabilities, even if their dad didn''t work and the pig farm shut down, Lin Tian''s family could still live well. They didn''t have to worry about finances. That was enough for Lin Tian. Lin Tian was wondering whether to just let it go. He didn''t need to save the pig farm because after all, he was wealthy. But then, thinking it over, Lin Tian shook his head. Thinking of the joy and focus Lin Cheng found in this pig farm, Lin Tian decided he still wanted to save it. Not for any other reason, but because this was Dad''s career. He was still young and should have something worthwhile to do, and he loved this pig farm. "Hey, bro, what are you thinking about?" Lin Fang said with a dissatisfied expression as Lin Tian had been ignoring her for a long time. "Ah? What''s up?" Startled, Lin Tian came back to his senses and asked curiously. "People were asking if you could handle it, and you, you just space out!" Seeing Lin Tian''s confused look, Lin Fang pouted a bit angrily. "Ah..." Scratching his head, Lin Tian smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I was distracted. What did you say? Can I handle it? Of course, I can! Who am I? I''m your brother, haha!" Saying that, Lin Tian laughed and strode out of the pigsty. "Really? What''s the plan?" Hearing Lin Tian''s confirmative tone, Lin Fang followed excitedly. "No worries, I''m a bit thirsty. Let me have a drink first," Lin Tian said, waving his hand as he walked toward the hall of the pig farm. "Hmph!" Watching Lin Tian just walk away, Lin Fang stomped her foot and quickly followed. Lin Tian really was a bit thirsty and wanted to get a drink before continuing. Upon reaching the hall of the pig farm, Lin Tian glanced around and noticed his dad there, along with a few other people. As his gaze swept over them, he suddenly paused, a look of surprise briefly crossing his face. Beauty! Lin Tian unexpectedly saw a beauty there. "Beauty" might not be entirely accurate, as she wasn''t very pretty. Her skin wasn''t fair, and it was even a bit dark. Lin Tian even noticed a few freckles on her face. But this girl made Lin Tian feel very comfortable. She had a wholesome look and also gave off a very healthy and sunny vibe. Lin Fang, who was following Lin Tian, noticed where his gaze was directed and quietly came over, whispering by his side, "What? You''ve taken a liking to her?" "Stop it. What are you talking about?" Lin Tian glanced at his sister, his curiosity piqued as he looked toward the girl, "Who is she? A new worker hired by our farm?" "She isn''t some worker. She''s actually a proper university graduate who started her own business after graduating. She''s opened a pig farm with four hundred pigs. She came here to learn from us before. By the way, her pig farm isn''t far from here." "Really?" surprise flickered in Lin Tian''s eyes upon hearing Lin Fang''s words. A girl who was a university graduate starting her own business, even managing to open such a large pig farm, indeed surprised Lin Tian. Noticing her brother continuously staring at the girl, Lin Fang giggled, "What? Want me to introduce you? I''m pretty close with Sister Li! But you should consider how Mengting feels." "Cut it out," Lin Tian rolled his eyes at his sister, shaking his head speechlessly before turning and walking toward the place to get a drink. Although the girl made Lin Tian feel very comfortable, he had no such thoughts about her. While Lin Tian went off to get a drink, Lin Fang rushed over to chat with the girl. Having drunk a large bowl of water and feeling much better, and since he had made up his mind to intervene, Lin Tian didn''t hesitate anymore and turned back toward the pigsty. The moment Lin Tian moved, the sharp-eyed Lin Fang spotted him and quickly grabbed the girl and chased after him. "Bro!" Just a few steps out of the hall, Lin Tian suddenly heard his sister''s voice from behind Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire Hearing that voice, Lin Tian paused and turned around. As he turned, he immediately saw his sister running over with the girl. Chapter 223 Please Call Me Mr. Miracle! "Bro, this is Sister Li, Li Ke." Pulling the girl over to Lin Tian, Lin Fang immediately introduced her. "Hello!" Since she had come over, Lin Tian felt too embarrassed to just walk away, so he smiled and greeted her. "Hello!" Seeing Lin Tian, Li Ke responded with a slight smile. "This is my brother, his name is Lin Tian, he''s been sneaking looks at you all this time! Haha!" After introducing Li Ke, Lin Fang pointed at Lin Tian and cheerfully introduced him. "What are you talking about, little girl!" Hearing his sister''s words, Lin Tian gave her a sharp look. "Er..." Hearing Lin Fang''s words, Li Ke appeared somewhat embarrassed. Linking arms with Li Ke, Lin Fang giggled and said proudly to her, "Sister Li, weren''t you worried about the epidemic? My brother said he can solve it!" "Oh?" Hearing this, Li Ke''s eyes instantly brightened. She had been driven to despair by the epidemic recently. Upon hearing this news, her eyes lit up immediately. "Are you a doctor?" Li Ke asked Lin Tian with a curious expression. Although she didn''t quite believe Lin Tian could do anything, she couldn''t help but hold on to a sliver of hope. "Uh, I''m not a doctor, I was just joking, don''t take it seriously," Lin Tian said, slightly embarrassed, and shot Lin Fang a glare. "Oh!" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, a tinge of sadness flashed across Li Ke''s eyes, and she managed a forced smile. "Why blame me when you clearly said it yourself!" Seeing her brother''s glare, Lin Fang muttered softly, feeling wronged. Shaking his head in disbelief, Lin Tian said to Li Ke with a smile, "You two chat, I''ll go take a look around." With that, Lin Tian turned and walked away. "Really!" Seeing Lin Tian walk away directly, Lin Fang pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. "Your brother is quite the character!" Seeing Lin Tian leave, Li Ke turned to look at Lin Fang in surprise. "Him? That''s just his stubborn temperament, don''t mind him. But I tell you, my brother is really amazing!" "Really?" Li Ke looked at Lin Fang with curiosity. "Absolutely, let me tell you..." Lin Fang began to boast excitedly. While Lin Fang talked about Lin Tian''s various miraculous feats, Li Ke responded half-heartedly. At that moment, she really didn''t have the mood to care about anything else. Her entire mind was focused on her pig farm. "What''s wrong? You seem distracted?" After boasting for a while, Lin Fang noticed that Li Ke seemed preoccupied and asked her curiously. "Ah? Oh? Do I? I think I''m fine," Li Ke replied with a forced smile. "It''s clearly something!" Seeing Li Ke refuse to admit it, Lin Fang rolled her eyes at her. Noticing that Li Ke wasn''t in high spirits, Lin Fang''s eyes lit up, and she giggled, "Sister Li, let''s go see my brother, I bet he''s about to make a move. He''s really amazing, let''s go take a look." "No, you go ahead." Li Ke just wasn''t in the mood. She didn''t think Lin Tian could do much, so she simply shook her head faintly. "Come on?" "You go!" Li Ke said, shaking her head faintly again. "Hmm... okay then!" Seeing that Li Ke really didn''t want to go over, Lin Fang didn''t insist any further and gave up. After chatting for a bit and realizing Li Ke wasn''t really there, and because Lin Fang really wanted to see what Lin Tian was up to, she soon excused herself and ran off to find Lin Tian. When Lin Fang found Lin Tian, he was just about to take action. "Bro, what are you doing?" Lin Fang asked curiously as she saw the glass bottle in Lin Tian''s palm. Turning his head to glance at his sister, Lin Tian smiled and lifted the glass bottle in his hand, saying, "This is what I''m going to use for the treatment." In Lin Tian''s palm was indeed the bottle of Healing Water he had just exchanged. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "What is that?" Lin Fang asked, eyeing the glass bottle in Lin Tian''s palm with curiosity. "You''ll see soon enough!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile and without further ado, flicked his thumb and popped the bottle cap. Pop! The black bottle cap instantly fell off. "Go!" Lin Tian flicked his hand. Whoosh! With a flick of Lin Tian''s hand, the water in the bottle suddenly splashed out. As the water came out, Lin Tian''s mind moved on cue. Whoosh! The clear water instantly turned into a white mist. "Go!" Lin Tian glanced at the white mist floating in the air and swept his hand through it. Following Lin Tian''s motions, the white mist immediately flew towards the pigs in their pens and was absorbed through their nostrils as they breathed. Witnessing this miraculous scene, Lin Fang''s eyes widened in amazement. After finishing all this, Lin Tian clapped his hands and said, "All done." "Done?" Lin Fang looked at Lin Tian in astonishment. "Yes, all done," Lin Tian replied with a slight smile. He had just distributed the Healing Water from one bottle among more than fifteen hundred pigs. "Really?" Hearing this, Lin Fang looked at the pigs in their pens with astonishment. After a moment, Lin Fang turned her head and looked at Lin Tian with puzzlement, "Bro, they don''t look any different?" The pigs in their pens were all still lethargic and continued to sneeze relentlessly. Clapping his hands, Lin Tian turned and headed outside, saying as he walked, "It won''t be that quick, give it ten minutes. If you want to wait, then wait here a bit longer."

When the Healing Water mist entered the pigs, Lin Tian had known the effect would come through. However, with one bottle''s worth spread amongst so many pigs, the drug''s potency was greatly diluted; it wasn''t going to work instantly but would probably take about ten minutes. Despite it taking some time, Lin Tian was confident of the outcome. "Ten minutes later?" Hearing this, Lin Fang paused for a moment. After hesitating briefly, she decided to wait and see, curious whether the effects would indeed be as miraculous after ten minutes. Chapter 223 Please Call Me Mr. Miracle!_2 After about five minutes, thinking of Li Ke''s worried frown, Lin Fang felt a stir in her heart and immediately hurried outside. She wanted to pull Li Ke over to watch the effects together. Even though the results hadn''t come out yet, Lin Fang had a lot of confidence in Lin Tian. When Lin Fang rushed out of the pigsty, ready to look for Li Ke, Li Ke was in the hall, frowning worriedly with Lin Cheng. "Sigh! I don''t know what to do!" Li Ke sighed, her face filled with helplessness. Helplessness! Li Ke really felt helpless. Her pig farm had just started when, unexpectedly, such a thing happened. Everything was going well, and she was about to get on the right track. Next year, Li Ke even planned to expand her pig farm, but then this disaster struck. "What should I do about the debt I owe the bank?" Thinking of the debts she took on for the pig farm, Li Ke felt her hair turning white with worry. If this epidemic couldn''t be cured, what then? Everything would be ruined. Hearing Li Ke''s dispirited voice, Lin Cheng took a deep drag on his cigarette, not uttering a word. After a while, Lin Cheng stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, took out another, and looking up at Li Ke, asked, "Li, didn''t you say that some expert from the province came to your factory for research last time? How did it go? Do they have any solutions?" "No, they just said they would give out the results as soon as possible and told me to wait patiently. But I can''t wait any longer, my pig farm is losing two or three pigs a day. I''m about to have a breakdown!" As Li Ke spoke about it, her face showed her distress. "Sigh!" Hearing this, Lin Cheng sighed, took a deep puff from his cigarette, and said resignedly, "I''m losing about ten a day here, too. It''s lethal!" Seeing Lin Cheng''s helplessness, Li Ke fell silent, her mood growing very heavy. After a moment of silence, suddenly, a phone ring broke the quiet. Hearing the ringing, Lin Cheng looked up to see that it was his own phone on the table that was ringing. Lin Cheng immediately answered: "Hello? Oh, hello, hello. What? No way! This... okay, okay, I got it. Mm, thank you." Once the call ended, Lin Cheng seemed to age ten years, sitting dispiritedly on the sofa. "What''s wrong, Uncle Zhang?" Seeing Lin Cheng''s state, Li Ke curiously asked. Without raising his head, Lin Cheng looked blankly at the floor and said, "I just got a call. The city is preparing to slaughter the sick pigs to prevent the spread of the epidemic." "This..." Hearing the news, Li Ke was stunned and her mouth hung open: "Then, what about the losses?" "The city is compensating thirty percent!" Lin Cheng said, somewhat dejectedly. "Thirty percent?" Hearing this figure, Li Ke''s brow furrowed instantly. Thirty percent wasn''t even enough to cover the cost of the pigs. It was foreseeable that with this rate of compensation, farmers would suffer severe losses. "What, what am I going to do?" Hearing the news, Li Ke suddenly felt completely at a loss. If compensation was based on this rate, Li Ke''s pig farm would collapse instantly, and her two years of effort would be in vain. Li Ke sat on the sofa, so anxious she was almost in tears. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The conversation between the two was overheard by Lin Tian as he returned from the pigsty. Entering the hall, he glanced at the two dispirited figures, especially his father, whose eyes seemed completely lifeless. Seeing this, Lin Tian shook his head and comforted in a soft voice, "Maybe there''s a way out!" "It''s gone, it''s all gone!" Lin Cheng didn''t pick up on Lin Tian''s words, just staring blankly at the floor. Lin Cheng could imagine just how big his losses would be if all his pigs were slaughtered. In one night, his home could change drastically. It could even regress back to how it was before liberation overnight. "Sigh..." Thinking of this, Lin Cheng sighed heavily, hands buried in his hair, head bowed dejectedly. Li Ke also sat quietly, her face wooden. The slaughtering of the pigs posed a significant threat to Lin Cheng, and no less so for Li Ke. If it happened, Li Ke''s fledgling career would collapse, and she would end up in deep debt. Sadness! Sorrowful! Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire Even a tinge of despair! How much she wished someone could save her, someone could help her. How she hoped for a miracle to occur. But all these... Alas! At the thought of this, Li Ke shook her head in dejection. "Sister Li!" Just when Li Ke felt she was on the verge of collapse, suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside. Li Ke looked up and immediately saw Lin Fang running in from outside. "Sister Li!" As soon as she reached Li Ke''s side, Lin Fang began to mutter softly. Hearing Lin Fang''s words, Li Ke couldn''t help but smile bitterly. Shaking her head, Li Ke looked at Lin Fang with a tired expression and a forced smile, "Fang, stop it, I''m really tired right now." She was really at a loss for words with Lin Fang. What time was it now, to be making such jokes. Saying that Lin Tian had performed "Magic," healed those pigs, and that it would take effect in ten minutes, demanding that she come and see for herself. Li Ke was truly speechless. "I''m not joking, my brother is really amazing. Let''s hurry, or else we won''t make it in time." Lin Fang had great confidence in Lin Tian and immediately pulled Li Ke to go with her. Li Ke really didn''t want to move, she waved her hand, not wanting to get up. "Come on, trust me!" Lin Fang still wanted to persuade Li Ke to join her. "What are you making all the noise for!" Already in a terrible mood, Lin Cheng, hearing his daughter''s incessant calling, felt a wave of irritation and shouted angrily as he raised his head. "I, I didn''t do anything, my brother said he could cure the swine fever..." Having never seen her father so angry, Lin Fang was suddenly scared and spoke timidly. Hearing this, Lin Cheng turned his head and glared at Lin Tian with a furious face, "What''s all this fuss about, don''t you know what time it is? How old are you? You''re so thoughtless!" "I..." Lin Tian opened his mouth, wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head and didn''t say anything. Due to Lin Cheng''s outburst, the scene immediately fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy. No one spoke. Just like that, a minute passed, when suddenly a hurried footsteps came from outside. Accompanying the footsteps was a voice filled with surprise, "It''s working! It''s working! No more coughing! No more coughing!" Hearing the voice, Lin Cheng was startled and jerked his head up sharply. Upon raising his head, he saw a worker in a uniform, his face alight with joy, running towards them. "What''s going on?" Seeing the person, Lin Cheng asked with a furrowed brow. "No more coughing! No more coughing!" The man exclaimed with joy, sweating profusely on his forehead from running so fast. "What do you mean, no more coughing!" Hearing this, Lin Cheng''s heart tightened, he had a faint guess in his mind but he didn''t dare to believe it. "It''s the pigs! All those pigs have stopped coughing! They''re all better now! And they''re energetic too!" The worker caught his breath and managed to get the words out in one go. "What?" Upon hearing this, Lin Cheng''s eyes widened in disbelief. At the same time, Li Ke, who had a gloomy face, also brightened up at the news. "How, how is this possible!" Hearing this, Lin Cheng stood up in shock. "It''s true, they''re really better! Don''t know why, but the pigs suddenly stopped coughing, and they looked much more spirited, a lot of them have started getting up to eat their feed!" The worker also seemed in disbelief, still wearing a look of incredulity as he spoke. After a moment of stun, Lin Cheng came to his senses and quickly got up, "Let''s go, let''s take a look!" As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Cheng couldn''t wait and ran toward the pigsty. Seeing Lin Cheng leave, Li Ke was startled for a moment, looked at Lin Tian, and then quickly followed. Chapter 224 Magical "Brother!" Upon seeing that all the people had left, Lin Fang, who remained on the spot, looked at Lin Tian with an excited face. Even though she believed in Lin Tian''s abilities, hearing the news firsthand still made her very excited. She believed that all this must have been her brother''s doing. Glancing at his excited younger sister, Lin Tian smiled faintly, tilting his head, "Come on, let''s go take a look too." Although he was very confident in himself, Lin Tian still wanted to see the results of his efforts. As soon as Lin Tian entered the pigsty, he saw a crowd of people gathered together inside. These people all looked excitedly at the pigs inside the sty. "They''re indeed cured!" "Look, how lively! They''re completely fine. They don''t look sick at all!" "It''s miraculous, what happened! It''s unbelievable!" Voices of discussion came from the crowd, filled with shock. Lin Tian glanced at his father in the crowd, who was watching the scene with an excited expression, his face aglow, looking very invigorated. "It seems the effect is not bad!" Seeing the expressions of the people, even though he hadn''t seen the pigs at that moment, Lin Tian already had an idea in his mind. After thinking about it, Lin Tian still stepped forward a few paces, his gaze shifting to the pigs inside the pen. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon looking, Lin Tian immediately noticed a difference. The pigs before were listless, like a defeated army, but now, they all seemed radiant and spirited. If the previous pigs were like a defeated army, then the pigs now looked like a victorious one. The spirit of the two was completely different. "It''s really, really completely healed!" While Lin Tian was observing the pigs, Lin Fang was also looking at them beside him. Seeing such a stark difference between earlier and now, Lin Fang was utterly astonished. Seeing his sister''s astonished face, Lin Tian smiled faintly. After thinking a bit, Lin Tian walked outside the pigsty. From the joyful demeanor of his father, Lin Tian knew that his Superpower Point had not been wasted. As Lin Tian walked out of the pigsty, Li Ke was staring at the scene before her with a shocked expression. She was looking at these lively pigs. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire She remembered clearly, just one hour ago she had been at the pigsty, and the pigs she had seen then were all listless, but now... Seeing this scene, Li Ke was completely stunned. She couldn''t comprehend how more than a thousand pigs had suddenly recovered. It all happened too fast and was too miraculous. It was as if magic had been cast. Magic? At the thought of this word, Li Ke was startled, thinking of something, she quickly turned her head. As she turned, she saw Lin Tian stepping out of the pigsty. Seeing the faint, confident smile on Lin Tian''s face, and recalling what Lin Fang had said before, Li Ke bit her lip and hurriedly followed Lin Tian. "Lin... Lin Tian!" Just as Lin Tian was thinking about whether he should return, suddenly, a somewhat hesitant voice came from behind. "Hmm?" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian turned around in surprise, and immediately saw Li Ke running toward him. "What''s wrong?" Lin Tian asked, glancing at Li Ke somewhat curiously. "You... did you do that?" Looking at Lin Tian, Li Ke suddenly seemed a bit nervous. "What did I do?" Hearing this, Lin Tian asked curiously. Despite asking, Lin Tian had a vague guess in his heart. "Did you heal those sick pigs?" Li Ke''s next words confirmed Lin Tian''s previous guess. "Is it really because of this matter?" Lin Tian muttered to himself silently, lifting his head to glance at the somewhat hopeful Li Ke, and said with a somewhat apologetic smile, "You misunderstood, I''m not that powerful." "Earlier Lin Fang even said¡­" Seeing Lin Tian deny it, Li Ke seemed a bit anxious. "She doesn''t understand, she just knows how to boast!" Lin Tian said with a slight smile. Lin Tian didn''t want to lend a hand to help Li Ke. Although Li Ke was also quite attractive, Lin Tian couldn''t justify using a drop of his Superpower Points for her. To Lin Tian, a single drop of his Superpower Points was far more precious than millions of RMB. Using it on his own father was one thing, but for a woman he had just met... "Please, help me please! I... I''m begging you!" When she came, Li Ke didn''t really believe it was Lin Tian''s doing. But somehow, as they talked, she felt more and more likely that Lin Tian was responsible. It might also be that Li Ke was afraid to face the reality, viewing Lin Tian as her last hope. "I..." Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, suddenly, he was taken aback. Ding! An electronic synthesized voice rang in his mind: "Ding, Task: Fulfill Li Ke''s wish, cure the swine fever in her pig farm. Reward upon completion: two Superpower Points. Note: This task must be completed within one day." Hearing this voice, Lin Tian was taken aback. After a pause, Lin Tian''s face broke into a radiant smile, "What did you just say? Help you cure the swine fever in the pig farm. No problem, I agree!" "Ah?" Li Ke was taken aback by Lin Tian''s prompt agreement. After being stunned for a while, Li Ke looked at Lin Tian with some disbelief, "Can you really cure those sick pigs?" Glancing at the somewhat doubting Li Ke, Lin Tian smiled faintly, "Whether I can or not, you''ll find out soon enough. Just tell me, do you want my help?" "Yes!" After hesitating for a moment, Li Ke finally nodded. Though still skeptical, at this moment Li Ke had no other option but to clutch at straws. The miraculous change in Lin Cheng''s pig farm also kindled a sliver of hope in her heart. Maybe it really could work. "Brother, what are you guys doing?" Just as Lin Tian and another had finished discussing, Lin Fang suddenly walked out from the pigsty and hurried over when she saw them. Glancing at his sister, Lin Tian said casually, "Nothing much, I''m going to check out Li Ke''s pig farm in a bit." "Lin Tian is planning to help me," added Li Ke at that moment. "Really?" Hearing this, excitement flashed across Lin Fang''s face as she grinned at Li Ke, "Sister Li, didn''t I tell you my brother is amazing?" "Uh..." Seeing his sister constantly boasting about him, Lin Tian was speechless. Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at Li Ke''s pig farm. Standing inside the pigsty, the sound of coughing and even heavy breathing filled his ears. Looking at the pigs in the pens, Lin Tian found that their condition was similar to the pigs at his own farm, and some were even more severely ill. "How about it? Can you do it?" Noticing Lin Tian''s focus, Li Ke watched him nervously. "No problem, I can!" After scanning the pig pens again, Lin Tian nodded. Healing was certainly possible; if he had cured 1,500 pigs at his own farm, these 400 were surely manageable. "Do we need to prepare anything?" Li Ke asked immediately. "No need!" Lin Tian shook his head and then waved his hand. Whoosh! With Lin Tian''s gesture, a thin stream of water suddenly appeared in the air. This fine stream was none other than a bottle of Level Zero Healing Water that Lin Tian had exchanged. "This..." Seeing the sudden appearance of the water stream, Li Ke''s eyes widened. "Go!" Lin Tian flicked his wrist. Whoosh! Immediately, the fine water stream transformed into white mist. This white mist appeared and then flew towards the pigs. It flowed into their bodies through their nostrils. Watching this magical scene, reminiscent of a mage, Li Ke stared wide-eyed, incredulous. After a moment, noticing something, Li Ke suddenly raised her head, her face full of shock. Cough! The frequent coughing sounds were gone. The heavy breathing by his ear had also disappeared. "This..." Stunned for a moment, Li Ke quickly walked over to the pig pens and looked directly at the pigs. Upon checking, Li Ke was momentarily dumbfounded, then her face lit up with joy. All better! All better! Unbelievably, all the pigs had recovered and Li Ke had noticed that they looked much more spirited than before. After watching for a while, Li Ke quickly ran to another pig pen. The same! The pigs inside were also completely healed! Li Ke moved from pen to pen, becoming more and more thrilled as she did. All better, they were all better! Incredible! It was simply unbelievable! Seeing Li Ke''s excited face, Lin Tian smiled lightly. Meanwhile, a synthesized electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind: "Ding! Task: Fulfill Li Ke''s wish to cure the swine fever in her pig farm has been completed. Reward: two Supernatural Points." As the voice sounded, Lin Tian then noticed two golden droplet-shaped Supernatural Points slowly emerging in the Sea of Consciousness. Looking up at the Supernatural Points in the Sea of Consciousness, Lin Tian murmured in satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad, two more Supernatural Points added to the account. Now it''s turned into seven Supernatural Points!" Having helped Li Ke solve her problem, Li Ke specially treated Lin Tian to a meal! Back at home, Lin Tian lounged with legs crossed, watching TV, completely at ease! Buzz~! Suddenly, the phone on the coffee table vibrated! Lin Tian picked up the phone and saw it was Shen Yiran calling! Lin Tian answered the phone and said with a laugh: "Hello, beautiful, missing me?" "Lin Tian? Stop joking, I need a favor!" Shen Yiran''s voice sounded somewhat serious on the phone! "What is it?" Feeling that something was off, Lin Tian sat up straight and became serious! "It''s like this, a classmate of mine seems to be having some mental issues, she''s currently in the hospital. Could you come and help?" Shen Yiran hesitated! "This¡­" Mental issues? Lin Tian was somewhat speechless! "She''s a very good friend of mine, please help!" Shen Yiran was very sincere! After pondering for a moment, Lin Tian nodded: "Okay, I''ll come and see, but I can''t guarantee I''ll be of help!" "Great, I''ll text you the address..." Five minutes later, Lin Tian left the house! Chapter 225 Lin Tian is very annoyed! People''s Hospital, after Shen Mengyi finished her call, she put her cellphone into her pocket and, after a brief thought, turned towards Room 808 nearby. Reaching the door of the room, Shen Mengyi pushed open the door and walked in. By the time Shen Mengyi arrived, there was already a crowd inside the room. This was a VIP room, quite spacious, and at that moment, a young girl was lying on the hospital bed. The girl appeared to be in her twenties, her complexion very pale. "Ah, I don''t know what to do," someone sighed. "Indeed," another person sighed upon hearing this. The doctors from the hospital had already visited and tried many methods, but none had worked. They said there wasn''t much else to try for now, other than to keep her on sedatives to see if that might help. Otherwise, they would have to send her to a psychiatric hospital. "I know a doctor who is quite authoritative in psychiatry, I''ll ask him to come over tomorrow," a middle-aged man in a suit with a potbelly said. "Professor Liu had also come before and said there''s nothing he could do. It seems quite troubling," another middle-aged man, in his forties or fifties, sighed. "We have to try," the man sighed again. Seeing everyone''s expressions and then looking at Wang Hong, who was lying on the bed, pale-faced, Shen Mengyi interjected, "I just called a classmate of mine to come over, he''s very professional in this area." "Who? Your classmate?" After hearing Shen Mengyi''s words, everyone turned their gaze towards her. "Mengyi? Your classmate? Will that work?" asked a tall, thin young man with a smile as he looked at Shen Mengyi with undisguised admiration. After giving Wang Lei a glance, Shen Mengyi shifted her eyes away from his face and explained softly to everyone in the room, "My classmate is really good, especially with matters related to the supernatural. I''ve heard he even caught ghosts before!" "Ghosts..." Upon hearing this, most people in the room furrowed their brows. Many present did not believe in such supernatural stuff. They thought it was all charlatans and superstitions. Seeing the expressions on everyone''s faces and knowing they didn''t believe her, Shen Mengyi quickly explained, "Really, he''s very capable. You''ll see when he comes, really, I..." "Little Meng..." At that moment, a man in his forties interrupted Shen Mengyi. This middle-aged man glanced at Shen Mengyi and shook his head; "Little Meng, I know you care about Xiaohong, and I appreciate your gesture, thank you. But we really don''t need that." "I..." Hearing the man''s words, Shen Mengyi became anxious, quickly saying, "He really is very capable. You will see when he comes. Really!" Shen Mengyi''s face appeared quite anxious. Wang Hong was her good friend, and she didn''t want her to continue suffering, which is why she had called Lin Tian. Seeing Shen Mengyi''s anxious expression, Wang Lei next to her felt a pang of heartache and then looked up at the middle-aged man: "Dad, Mengyi means well, let''s just let her friend come and take a look, it doesn''t hurt." The middle-aged man opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing, implying his tacit consent. However, despite this, there was clear skepticism in his eyes. If not for considering that Shen Mengyi was an outsider and that she meant well for his daughter, he would never agree to these nonsensical things. What era was it now to still believe in ghosts and such? It wasn''t just this middle-aged man who thought this way; others shared the sentiment. Even Wang Lei was no exception. His recent agreement with Shen Mengyi was purely to please her. From the first moment he saw Shen Mengyi, Wang Lei had fallen for her! Time passed without notice, and ten minutes later, suddenly, Shen Mengyi''s cellphone in her pocket vibrated. Shen Mengyi took out her phone and saw it was Lin Tian calling. Seeing the call, she immediately answered, "Hello, Lin Tian, where are you?" Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire "I''ve arrived," came Lin Tian''s familiar voice over the phone. "You''ve arrived? That was fast. Come to the 8th floor of the inpatient department, I''m in room 808." Hearing that Lin Tian had arrived so quickly, Shen Mengyi appeared surprised on her face, stunned for a moment before responding. "I mean I''m right outside the room now, 808, right? One minute," Lin Tian''s calm voice transmitted through the phone. "What?" Mengyi''s face froze upon hearing this. After a moment''s pause, Shen Mengyi, holding her phone, hurriedly ran towards the room door. Seeing Shen Mengyi''s actions, everyone in the room looked towards the door. Even though they were skeptical about the person Mengyi mentioned, everyone was curious, and they also wondered what kind of person was coming. With surprise, Shen Mengyi opened the room door. Upon opening the door, she immediately saw Lin Tian standing outside the door, smiling and holding his phone. "You..." Seeing that Lin Tian indeed had come, Shen Mengyi appeared very surprised. "Surprising, isn''t it!" Lin Tian smiled slightly, seeing the astonishment on Mengyi''s face. "That was too fast, I couldn''t have imagined," Mengyi said, still somewhat dazed by Lin Tian''s presence. After a moment''s hesitation, recalling something, Shen Mengyi quickly pulled Lin Tian by the hand into the room, anxiously saying, "Can you see what''s wrong with my friend? You must save her." S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing Mengyi pulling Lin Tian by the hand so naturally and adeptly made Wang Lei, who was curiously watching from the side, instantly jealous and visibly upset. His look towards Lin Tian was also full of hostility. As Shen Mengyi pulled him into the room, Lin Tian had just walked in when he noticed Wang Lei''s hostile gaze. Glancing at Wang Lei and noticing his look, Lin Tian then turned to look at Mengyi beside him and instantly understood. With a slight smile, Lin Tian held Mengyi''s hand a bit tighter. Noticing Lin Tian''s action and seeing him holding Shen Mengyi''s soft hand tightly, Wang Lei felt uncomfortable inside. "Look, what is wrong with my friend?" At that moment, Shen Mengyi was oblivious to these undercurrents, only pulling Lin Tian towards Wang Hong''s bed. Approaching Wang Hong''s bed, Lin Tian had also lost interest in paying attention to Wang Lei and turned his gaze towards Wang Hong. After looking at Wang Hong for a moment, Lin Tian stepped forward, came to the side of the bed, slightly bent over, and reached out to touch Wang Hong''s forehead. "What are you doing!" Seeing Lin Tian''s action, the onlookers immediately cried out. Hearing these voices, Lin Tian paused, looked up at the crowd, and said calmly, "I''m checking!" "What are you checking? Don''t mess around!" The crowd looked at Lin Tian, all wearing wary expressions. Ever since Shen Mengyi mentioned she was calling a classmate of hers, they hadn''t trusted Lin Tian much. Their agreement to let Lin Tian come was purely out of respect for Mengyi. But though they allowed him to come and look, they didn''t dare to let him do anything. They knew nothing about him; what if he caused some harm? Seeing the deep distrust in everyone''s eyes, Lin Tian was annoyed. Yet out of respect for Mengyi''s face, Lin Tian suppressed his annoyance and said sternly, "I''m not doing anything; I''m just feeling her forehead." "That''s not okay either, who knows what you''re up to!" Just as Lin Tian''s words fell, a distrustful voice came from behind him. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian frowned, slowly straightened up, and turned around. Lin Tian was very annoyed inside! Chapter 226 Remember! Dont Ask Me! Lin Tian narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Wang Lei. The person who had just spoken was indeed Wang Lei. Seeing that everyone in the room distrusted Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi became anxious and hurriedly said, "Lin Tian is really powerful, you should just let him continue." "Who knows what he''s up to? What if something happens to Little Hong?" At this time, someone else interjected. "Exactly, better to be cautious. This isn''t something to be careless about. Who knows where this guy''s from?" A middle-aged woman in her forties also chimed in at this point. Trust! Doubt! Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian felt the full force of the room''s distrust and suspicion. This sensation made Lin Tian quite uncomfortable. Taking a deep breath and glancing at the anxious Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian forcibly suppressed his annoyance. Forget it, for Mengyi''s sake, I''ll tolerate it a bit longer! A flash of anger in his eyes, Lin Tian looked at the crowd, his gaze slowly sweeping their faces, and said in a deep voice, "I''m not doing anything, just touching the forehead." If these guys keep going on and on, I won''t guarantee it! Suppressing his anger, Lin Tian thought irritably! "Just let Lin Tian try, he said he''ll only touch the forehead," stated Shen Mengyi immediately after Lin Tian''s statement, raising her voice. Mengyi felt uncomfortable with everyone''s attitude, expressing her displeasure. She even regretted a bit having Lin Tian come over. But since Lin Tian was here, he definitely had to give it a try. "Fine! Then have a look, but remember, you can only touch the forehead!" These people still gave Shen Mengyi some face, considering that she was acting in Wang Hong''s best interest. So, despite their deep distrust of Lin Tian, they finally conceded. Seeing no objections from the crowd, Lin Tian immediately went back to the bedside of Wang Hong, reaching out and bending over towards her forehead. "Be careful, don''t make any other movements, take care!" Before Lin Tian''s hand even touched Wang Hong''s forehead, a thick voice tinged with doubt once again reached Lin Tian''s ears. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian paused and a flash of anger crossed his face. Damn it! What an attitude, as if I were asking something of you! Absurd! As soon as his hand touched Wang Hong''s forehead, Lin Tian immediately entered his Sea of Consciousness, "System, check Wang Hong''s condition." "Ding! The system is checking now¡­" Hearing this sound, Lin Tian patiently waited. When he saw Wang Hong, Lin Tian realized something was off. Or rather, she seemed to have been affected by some negative energy. Because he wasn''t sure, that''s why Lin Tian wanted the system to check. The system had indicated that a check required physical contact with Wang Hong, which is why Lin Tian had to touch her forehead. "Ding!" After a few seconds, an electronic synthesized voice rang out in Lin Tian''s mind, "Ding, after the system''s check, there is a slight malevolent energy on Wang Hong, which can be cleared with a Level 1 Calming Talisman." "Calming Talisman?" Lin Tian was startled to hear this. A Calming Talisman? Lin Tian didn''t have such a thing; he had previously exchanged for a Talisman superpower, but that was for exorcising ghosts, not a Calming Talisman. "Ding, the Calming Talisman is a variation of the Vajra Talisman, there is no need to create a new superpower, the host can exchange it directly!" The system''s electronic synthesized voice echoed in his ear! "That''s relieving! Seeing how anxious Mengyi is, I might as well exchange for one, even if it''s at a loss!" Lin Tian muttered to himself inwardly and withdrew his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness! "Are you done yet? How long are you going to touch her?" As Lin Tian withdrew his consciousness from the Sea of Consciousness, an impatient voice reached his ear. Upon hearing this, Lin Tian withdrew his consciousness, raised his head, and swept a look behind him. It was that Wang Lei again! Giving Wang Lei a cold glance, Lin Tian stood up. After a moment''s thought, he turned to Shen Mengyi beside him and asked, "Do you have any paper and a pen?" "Huh?" Stunned for a moment, Shen Mengyi hastily nodded, "Yes, I do!" As she spoke, Shen Mengyi began rummaging through her white purse. In no time, she took out a pen and a palm-sized piece of white paper. Holding the pen in one hand and supporting the paper with the other, Lin Tian focused for a moment, then began to draw. Phew! Lin Tian''s hands moved swiftly, almost completing the drawing in one fluid motion. Before long, a dizzying talisman was finished. The instant it was completed, an extremely faint golden light flashed across the entire talisman. Aside from Lin Tian, no one else noticed this light. "Got a lighter?" Holding the talisman, Lin Tian turned to look at the people in the room. "What are you doing?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, someone frowned and looked at him. Drawing a talisman, and now asking for a lighter. Some people had already guessed what Lin Tian was up to. "Burn the talisman, then drink the talisman water and it''ll be fine!" Lin Tian said calmly. "Nonsense!" Before anyone in the room could respond, suddenly, a loud shout came from outside. As the sound echoed, the closed door was violently pushed open. When the door was pushed open, an old man with a head full of white hair, leaning on a cane, stormed in with an imposing air. Upon entering, the old man pointed at Lin Tian and angrily scolded the crowd, "Who is this? Who invited him? All this superstitious nonsense! What a disgrace!" "Dad!" "Grandpa!" "Dad!" Seeing the elderly man come out, everyone in the room was shocked and quickly approached. "Get him out of here!" The old man pointed at Lin Tian with his cane, his face full of anger. "Go out, go out, you leave first." Hearing the old man''s words, someone immediately came over and gently tried to pull Lin Tian out. Meanwhile, people tried to appease the old man in a placating tone, "Dad, don''t be angry, it''s just that Wang Hong''s classmate said he would come and try something." "Right, we just let this person come to have a try. Don''t be angry. It''s just for fun." "This is something to play with? Drinking talisman water, are you crazy?" The old man was still fuming, his face livid with rage. "Our minds aren''t sick, we wouldn''t, we wouldn''t, don''t be angry." "Exactly, exactly, our heads aren''t broken, it''s just for fun, just for fun!" Clearly, the old man held a high status in the household; when he became angry, everyone tried to soothe him. But when these people said these things, they clearly did not consider Lin Tian''s feelings. Hearing their words, a flash of anger crossed Lin Tian''s face. What the hell! What do they think of me? A lunatic? Fuck! I generously came to help save your daughter, your family member, yet you treat me like a fool. Endure! Lin Tian really couldn''t hold back anymore! Raising his head, Lin Tian coldly swept his gaze over these people and roared, "Damn it, don''t come begging me later! It won''t work even if you beg! What a load of crap!" With that said, Lin Tian turned and walked away angrily. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Not playing anymore! I''m done playing. What a load of crap! Lin Tian''s sudden outburst left everyone dumbfounded. Watching Lin Tian storm off with a face full of rage, Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then a hint of malice crossed his face as he angrily shouted at Lin Tian: "Kid, watch how you talk!" As he spoke, Wang Lei charged towards Lin Tian, seemingly ready to hit him. Chapter 227 He Can Still Save "What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you doing this?" Seeing Wang Lei trying to rush over and start a fight, Shen Mengyi was startled and hurriedly stood between the two men. But Wang Lei was very strong and broke through Shen Mengyi''s obstruction, charging straight towards Lin Tian! "You little..." Wang Lei reached out to grab Lin Tian! Lin Tian''s face turned cold, and he responded with a backhanded slap! Smack! In an instant, Wang Lei was sent flying! Wang Lei fell to the ground, completely dazed! "Why are you hitting people? That''s right, why hit someone!" Seeing this scene, Wang Lei''s relatives started shouting, and a few men even looked ready to rush over! Lin Tian stood his ground, looking on coldly! If these people dared to come over, Lin Tian wouldn''t mind teaching them a lesson! Lin Tian was already feeling quite irritable inside! "Alright, alright, stop arguing!" Eventually, none of those people charged over, as the female relatives pulled the men back, preventing a fight! Seeing they weren''t coming over, Lin Tian sneered and turned to leave! He didn''t even bother with Shen Mengyi! Just as he stepped out of the hospital room, suddenly, a piercing scream came from the corridor outside: "My child, oh my child!" Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing this scream, everyone was taken aback. At the same time, a synthetic electronic voice echoed in Lin Tian''s mind. :"Ding! Task: Fulfill Zhu Xiaoxiao''s wish and save her son. Note: This task must be completed within three minutes. Failure to complete the task within the allotted time will result in failure. Reward for completing the task: two Supernatural Points." "This..." Lin Tian was taken aback upon hearing the synthetic voice. "Baby! Baby! Wah... Wah!" While Lin Tian was stunned, another piercing scream reached his ears. The voice was filled with immense grief. After a moment of shock, Lin Tian snapped out of it and quickly turned towards the source of the sound, moving swiftly. "Wah, baby, baby..." As Lin Tian walked away, Zhu Xiaoxiao''s cries could still be heard, intermittent but continuous. Hearing the scream filled with sorrow, Wang Lei and the others were also startled, and they too quickly left the hospital room. Curiosity. They were all very curious about what was happening. By the time Wang Lei and the others reached the corridor outside, a crowd had already gathered there. Many people had come out of their rooms upon hearing the cry. Even more people, driven by curiosity, headed towards the hospital room from where the cry was emanating. As she came out of the hospital room, Shen Mengyi just so happened to see Lin Tian quickly heading towards the room from where the cries were coming. Seeing Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi thought for a moment and then followed. When Lin Tian arrived at the hospital room from where the cries were coming, a crowd had already gathered outside. Squeezing through the crowd, Lin Tian peered through the gaps between people into the room. At a glance, he saw a woman in her thirties lying on a hospital bed. And on that bed was a young boy of about seven or eight years old. The boy''s eyes were tightly closed, and his face was completely devoid of color. "Baby! Baby, wah, don''t leave mommy, don''t leave me!" Zhu Xiaoxiao was lying on top of the child, her face full of pain and sorrow. Glancing past Zhu Xiaoxiao, Lin Tian noticed a middle-aged man standing beside the hospital bed, his face filled with grief; although he wasn''t crying, his eyes were red. Also standing in the room were many doctors, all of them looking solemn, their seriousness tinged with a hint of helplessness and apology. "What happened?" "Yes, what''s going on?" At that moment, whispers of curiosity rose from the surrounding crowd. "It seems this child was in a car accident the day before yesterday and hasn''t gotten out of critical condition. Today, there was a sudden turn for the worse, and even the doctors are at a loss," someone who was in the know whispered an explanation. "That''s really sad, what a pity!" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Yeah, the kid is so young, such a waste. Sigh!" A wave of sympathetic voices rose among the crowd. Wang Lei and his group happened to hear these discussions as they arrived. Hearing these voices, Wang Lei and the others also showed looks of pity on their faces. After all, the child was still so young. "What a pity..." Seeing this scene, Wang Lei''s father sighed softly. "Well, there''s nothing to be done about it. Let''s leave, it''s such a pity. Don''t crowd around here." The old man who had reprimanded Lin Tian started to scold now that he had heard the surrounding discussions. Seeing such a young child dying, he couldn''t help but feel troubled and sighed. "Dead? Is this child already dead?" When Lin Tian heard the discussions around him, he also seemed somewhat shocked. After a moment of stunned silence, his consciousness quickly entered the Sea of Consciousness and inquired, "System, what''s going on? Is this child dead?" "Ding! Strictly speaking, the child isn''t completely dead yet. If you administer the Healing Water within five minutes, his life can still be saved," the system immediately answered Lin Tian''s question. "Not dead yet?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback, then a flicker of realization crossed his eyes. The fact that he had to be completely dead within five minutes probably explained why the system had given him a mission completion time limit of five minutes. Realizing the time limit, Lin Tian was shocked, and when he checked, he saw that two minutes had already passed. With this in mind, Lin Tian didn''t delay any further and his consciousness withdrew from the Sea of Consciousness as he pushed through the crowd towards the inside. Lin Tian was very strong, and he pushed the people blocking the way aside forcefully. "Hey, what are you doing!" "Why are you pushing, what''s the hurry!" Wang Lei and his family, who were already turning to leave, stopped in their tracks when they heard the commotion behind them and turned around in astonishment. As they turned, they saw Lin Tian pushing his way through to the inside. "Is that him?" Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Lei and his family were all taken aback. Not just them, even Shen Mengyi was stunned to see Lin Tian making his way into the hospital room. Ignoring the dissatisfied murmurs around him, Lin Tian used his hands to clear the people in front of him. Lin Tian''s hands were very strong, and with a gentle push, he forcefully cleared the way through the crowd in front. Once he had cleared a path through the crowd, Lin Tian went straight through the gap. By the time those people wanted to get angry, Lin Tian had already entered the hospital room. The conflict that suddenly arose outside immediately drew the attention of the doctors inside the room. Meanwhile, Zhu Xiaoxiao and her husband were still immersed in their grief and had not noticed. Seeing Lin Tian barge in, the doctors furrowed their brows, staring at him with displeasure, but they didn''t say anything. To them, it was very likely that Lin Tian was a relative of the deceased. Lin Tian glanced over the doctors and, without regarding them, headed straight for the hospital bed. At the same time, Wang Lei and his family, who were about to leave, saw Lin Tian barge into the hospital room. Curious, they stopped in their tracks and walked back over. They were eager to see what Lin Tian was up to. Approaching the bed, Lin Tian glanced at the little boy on it, whose face was pale as snow. At that moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao was lying on top of the boy. To give the little boy the Healing Water, he would need Zhu Xiaoxiao to move aside. After looking at Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the bed in agony, Lin Tian thought for a moment and then patted her on the shoulder. "Pat!" Feeling someone patting her shoulder, Zhu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and looked up. As Zhu Xiaoxiao raised her head, a delicate face came into Lin Tian''s view. And Zhu Xiaoxiao, with tears streaming down her face, looked even more pitiable. Seeing Zhu Xiaoxiao, Lin Tian was also taken aback. He hadn''t expected Zhu Xiaoxiao to be so attractive. After a moment''s pause, Lin Tian came back to his senses, pointed at the little boy on the bed, and smiled faintly, "He can still be saved." Chapter 228 Shocked! "What?" Zhu Xiaoxiao was clearly taken aback upon hearing Lin Tian''s words. "I mean your son can still be saved!" Lin Tian smiled as he pointed at the little boy on the hospital bed. "Really... really?" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zhu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and then a trace of hope flashed across her face. At this moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao''s husband, Wang Qiang, also noticed Lin Tian. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Wang Qiang furrowed his brow and looked at Lin Tian coldly, "Who are you!" Wang Qiang''s tone was somewhat icy, clearly not happy. Raising his head and glancing at Wang Qiang, Lin Tian spoke indifferently, "I said your son can still be saved." The conversation between Lin Tian and Zhu Xiaoxiao finally brought the doctors in the hospital room back to their senses. They then realized that Lin Tian was not a relative of the deceased. He seemed like a madman, yet he claimed that the boy could be saved. Stunned for a moment, two doctors immediately came over. As soon as these two doctors arrived, they began pulling Lin Tian towards the outside of the hospital room, while saying bluntly, "Where did you come from? Get out, stop talking nonsense!" As they spoke, they forcefully pulled Lin Tian trying to drag him out. But Lin Tian''s strength was not something two people could contend with; if Lin Tian didn''t want to leave, they simply couldn''t move him. Lin Tian let the two doctors pull him, his footsteps immobile, his expression calm as he looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao and said solemnly, "Your son can still be saved, trust me, there isn''t much time left!" Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian''s tone was very calm and confident. "This..." Seeing Lin Tian''s very young but self-assured face, Zhu Xiaoxiao hesitated. She did not believe that Lin Tian could do it, did not believe that Lin Tian could save her son. But at this moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao still hoped someone could save her son, even though this hope was so faint, so ludicrous. "What''s this nonsense! Get out!" At this moment, the other doctors in the hospital room also regained their composure and began pushing Lin Tian out with darkened faces. While pushing Lin Tian, they shouted angrily at him, "Stop spouting nonsense, get out, get out!" Meanwhile, other doctors explained to Zhu Xiaoxiao and her husband, "The patient''s heart has already stopped beating, even a divine being arriving would be useless!" "This..." Hearing this conversation, Zhu Xiaoxiao hesitated once again. The noise inside the hospital room also let the onlookers outside know what was happening. Initially, when Lin Tian entered, they guessed whether he was a relative of the deceased. But after hearing the doctors'' conversation inside, they finally realized that Lin Tian was just an outsider. And yet he claimed he could revive the dead patient.

Seeing this scene inside the hospital room, the people outside immediately began to talk animatedly. "This guy must be from a psychiatric hospital." "I think it''s very likely, completely crazy!" "Maybe the guy really has some skills!" someone interjected at that moment. "Blowing smoke, the doctors already said, the heart has stopped beating, how can he save him, think he''s a god or what." "The doctors said that even a divine being arriving wouldn''t help." "It''s quite evident, this guy is just a fraudster." "Definitely." Seeing Lin Tian, many people branded him as a scammer in their minds. After all, it''s normal for people to categorize someone who claims they can resurrect the dead and boasts about his own abilities as a scammer. Seeing Lin Tian''s appearance inside, Wang Lei, who had been peering in, laughed. He enjoyed watching Lin Tian make a fool of himself. After giving Lin Tian a glance, Wang Lei turned his head to Shen Mengyi, who was also looking inside, and laughed, "Mengyi, your classmate has some serious skills, claiming he can bring the dead back to life, so amazing!" Though he said this, the scoff in Wang Lei''s tone was unmistakable. "He must have had a reason!" Shen Mengyi was very annoyed today, and at Wang Lei''s mockery, she just snorted coldly. "Making trouble out of nothing! Ridiculously absurd!" Seeing the clamor in the hospital room and hearing Lin Tian''s ''big talk,'' the old man who started to drive Lin Tian out sneered, tapped his cane hard on the floor, and then turned away with a cold face. He no longer wanted to watch this farce. This young man was simply baffling. He was grateful he hadn''t arrived any later; otherwise, allowing this man to give his granddaughter the talisman water would have been unbearable. As the old man turned to leave, Lin Tian was still trying to persuade Zhu Xiaoxiao inside the hospital room: "Since you think your son is already dead, what harm is there in letting me try? Maybe I really can do it!" "This..." Hearing this, Zhu Xiaoxiao hesitated again. "Get out! Drag him out!" Seeing that several people couldn''t move Lin Tian, an obviously older doctor shouted loudly. He really didn''t want to hear any more of Lin Tian''s nonsense. Seeing Zhu Xiaoxiao still hesitating, and glancing at the timer given by the system, Lin Tian''s face flashed with urgency. Thirty seconds! Only thirty seconds left. Scanning the hesitating Zhu Xiaoxiao, Lin Tian knew it was no use waiting for her consent. Gritting his teeth, he immediately walked straight toward the hospital bed. "What are you doing!" Seeing Lin Tian''s action, an alarmed shout arose from the hospital room. Lin Tian was very strong, and with his movement, the doctors who were originally pulling on him were also forcefully pulled forward. "What are you doing!" Seeing Lin Tian walking toward his son, Wang Qiang immediately ran over and blocked Lin Tian''s way. With a glance at Wang Qiang, Lin Tian simply brushed him off with his arm. Lin Tian was very strong, and although he didn''t use much force, with just that gentle brush, he directly knocked Wang Qiang to the ground. Knocking Wang Qiang to the ground, Lin Tian strode forward and lifted the child from the hospital bed himself. "What are you doing!" Seeing Lin Tian''s act, the previously hesitating Zhu Xiaoxiao instantly screamed and lunged at Lin Tian. Lin Tian ignored Zhu Xiaoxiao, who was lunging at him, and holding the little boy, he looked at the boy''s pale lips and gently wiped them with his hand. Whoosh! As Lin Tian moved, a small stream of water magically appeared inside the boy''s lips and then flowed through the gaps. "Let go! Give me my child back!" Zhu Xiaoxiao lunged at him with a desperate fierceness. Seeing Zhu Xiaoxiao''s frenzied state, Lin Tian was startled and quickly handed the child back to her. Seeing her son, Zhu Xiaoxiao quickly took him, carefully cradling him in her arms. "Drag him out! Call the police! Hurry up and call the police!" Lin Tian''s sudden actions truly startled the doctors. If something happened to a corpse in the hospital, the impact would be too severe. "Baby, don''t be afraid, don''t be afraid, Mommy is here, Mommy is here." Holding the child tightly, Zhu Xiaoxiao whispered soothingly, as if the child were still alive. Meanwhile, Wang Qiang, who Lin Tian had knocked to the ground, had now stood up. At this moment, Wang Qiang''s face was filled with rage. It was bad enough that his child was dead, but now someone dared to mess with his child''s body. This was absolutely intolerable! In a burst of anger, Wang Qiang picked up a chair next to him and viciously swung it at Lin Tian. "Mommy..." But before the chair could completely come down, suddenly a somewhat weak voice sounded. Hearing this voice, Wang Qiang''s body stiffened, and he turned his head in shock. This sudden voice caused the notoriously noisy hospital room to fall instantly silent. Everyone stood still, everyone held their pose! As if they were statues. Chapter 229 Flesh and White Bones of Life and Death! After a moment of stunned silence, thinking of something, everyone turned their gaze to the ground, to the child cradled in Zhu Xiaoxiao''s arms. Everyone wore a look of shock on their faces, tinged with some doubt. They wondered if they had just experienced an illusion. "Mommy, why are you crying?" The voice of a child that followed sent another jolt through the people present. "Baby?" Hearing this voice, Zhu Xiaoxiao, who had been muttering to herself, was also startled and quickly opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her son staring at her with his dark and lustrous eyes, filled with confusion as if wondering why his mother was crying. "Baby? Baby?" Seeing her son awake, Zhu Xiaoxiao was stunned and held the little boy in her arms motionless for a few seconds. A few seconds later, she came back to her senses and hugged the child, sobbing in pain. Wang Qiang watched this scene in a daze. Seeing his son truly awakened, he let go of the chair he had been holding and lunged forward. "This..." Witnessing this miraculous scene, the doctors who had wanted to push Lin Tian out earlier were also dumbfounded, their faces a picture of disbelief. "He''s awake! He''s awake! It''s incredible!" The old man had walked only a few steps when a cry of surprise came from behind him. The voice was filled with astonishment and disbelief. Hearing this voice, he frowned and turned around. As he turned, he saw his grandson staring dumbly at the hospital room. "What''s the matter?" Seeing this, he furrowed his brows. "That little boy is awake, he''s come back to life!" Wang Lei said somewhat foolishly. "What?" On hearing this, the old man frowned, his first reaction one of disbelief. But the looks and words of the people around him made him puzzled. "Yay! I knew Lin Tian could do it!" Seeing this, Shen Mengyi appeared extremely excited, clenching her fists firmly. Lin Tian''s previous experiences had also annoyed Shen Mengyi, but now the fact that he had actually pulled off this unbelievable feat filled her with exceptional excitement. Hearing the incredible, astonished voices around him, the old man was taken aback, and then he made his way through the crowd to look inside. At a glance, he was dumbstruck. He saw the little boy had already stood up. This... Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire Watching this scene, he was completely frozen, staring in disbelief. This sight had a profound impact on him. At the same time, a synthesized electronic voice sounded in Lin Tian''s mind: "Ding. The wish of Zhu Xiaoxiao to revive her son has been fulfilled. Mission completed, reward of two Supernatural Points awarded." With the sound of this synthesized voice, Lin Tian immediately felt two golden droplets, resembling Supernatural Points, appear within his Sea of Consciousness. Hearing this voice, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. At long last, the mission was completed. He scanned the hospital room with a glance. As everyone was still in shock, no one paid attention to him. Wanting to avoid trouble, Lin Tian saw this as an opportunity and quietly turned to leave. As Lin Tian left the hospital room, although the onlookers were curiously watching him, no one stopped him. Passing by Wang Lei and the others, Lin Tian paused slightly, scanning them briefly before continuing on with a calm expression. Watching Lin Tian''s resolute steps and the retreating figure, for some reason, the old man who had scolded Lin Tian thought of his earlier words: "Don''t ask me for help; it''s no use even if you do!" Initially, he took these as a joke, but now... For some reason, he started to feel worried. Seeing Lin Tian leave, Shen Mengyi paused, then hurriedly followed, calling out as she ran, "Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" Hearing the faint voice behind him, Lin Tian momentarily paused, but after a brief hesitation, he did not turn around and instead continued forward. "Hey! Wait for me!" Seeing Lin Tian not stopping, Shen Mengyi grew anxious and quickened her pace, catching up to him with a jog. Eventually, Shen Mengyi caught up to Lin Tian at the elevator entrance. Seeing Lin Tian stop, Shen Mengyi caught her breath and glared at him, "Why are you running so fast!" Turning to glance at Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian turned his head back around without speaking, quietly waiting for the elevator to arrive. Seeing that Lin Tian remained silent, Shen Mengyi glanced at him, and with a turn of her eyes, she slowly moved closer to Lin Tian and touched his arm, "Hey, are you still angry?" S~ea??h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Angry about what?" Lin Tian turned his head to look at Shen Mengyi, asking with a touch of surprise. "About what happened earlier in the hospital room," Shen Mengyi clarified. As soon as she mentioned it, Lin Tian understood and chuckled, "I was a bit annoyed at the time, but I''m much better now." Seeing Lin Tian''s reaction, Shen Mengyi slightly lowered her head, nibbling her red lips, a flicker of remorse crossing her face as she said: "They did go a bit too far. I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have asked you to come." As she said this, a gleam of apology showed in Shen Mengyi''s eyes. Seeing Shen Mengyi''s apologetic expression, Lin Tian smiled faintly, "It''s all right, you meant well. Really, I''ve let it go. Besides, they will definitely come and ask for my help again!" "What?" Hearing this, Shen Mengyi was taken aback and looked up at Lin Tian in surprise. Seeing Shen Mengyi''s astonished expression, Lin Tian''s face revealed a hint of confident smile, "The illness your classmate has can''t be cured by ordinary medicine. I guess they will eventually have to come and beg me." When Lin Tian said this, he appeared very confident. The problem with Wang Hong couldn''t be treated with just ordinary medicine. Having seen Lin Tian''s ability today, when they are out of options, they will still come to seek his help. Lin Tian was very confident about this. "Then you¡­" Seeing Lin Tian, a flicker of astonishment passed through Shen Mengyi''s eyes, along with a tinge of worry. It was concern for her good friend Wang Hong. "Ding!" Before Shen Mengyi could finish speaking, suddenly, the elevator door in front of them opened. Glancing at the opening elevator door, Lin Tian immediately walked over. As he entered the elevator and saw Shen Mengyi still standing outside somewhat stunned, he teased with a smile, "Shall we go together?" "Eh¡­" Hesitating for a moment, Shen Mengyi then stepped into the elevator. There was no one else in the elevator, and as soon as Shen Mengyi entered, Lin Tian immediately pressed the button for the first floor. Feeling the elevator slowly descending, Shen Mengyi turned to Lin Tian with a hesitant expression, "So, will you save Xiao Hong?" Shen Mengyi still wished for her good friend to be well. But after the way Wang Hong''s family treated Lin Tian today, and seeing that Lin Tian was angry, Shen Mengyi felt somewhat uncertain. Glancing at the worried Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian smiled faintly, "We''ll talk about that when the time comes." "You¡­" Looking at Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi opened her mouth wanting to say something, but ultimately she fell silent. Casting a passing glance at Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian didn''t say anything. Will he save Wang Hong? Lin Tian wasn''t sure himself. It would depend on the attitude of Wang Hong''s family. If they continued to be so unreasonable, as if he owed them money, Lin Tian definitely would not treat her. What a joke! If it weren''t for Shen Mengyi, he wouldn''t have come back at all! However, Lin Tian had met Wang Hong a couple of times before, and she seemed quite nice, unlike her family! "Ding!" In the silence between the two, the elevator slowly reached the first floor and the doors gradually opened. Walking out of the elevator, Lin Tian looked at Shen Mengyi beside him and asked, "Are you going back to school?" "Mhm!" Shen Mengyi nodded lightly. It had been quite a while since she left school, and it was getting late. If she didn''t head back soon, she wouldn''t be able to get into the dormitory. "Then let''s go together," Lin Tian said with a faint smile, then took the lead and started walking forward. Remembering the miraculous scene from earlier, Shen Mengyi hesitated, "How did you do that just now?" "What?" Lin Tian asked with a curious expression. "I mean, how did you manage to save that little boy?" Shen Mengyi looked steadily at Lin Tian, her eyes still filled with a touch of bewilderment. Life and death, flesh and bones. What kind of realm is that? The thought that Lin Tian could actually bring someone back from the dead left Shen Mengyi bewildered, and she even found Lin Tian somewhat terrifying. After scanning Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian smiled slightly, "Actually, the little boy wasn''t dead yet, I just helped him. If it had been five minutes later, I couldn''t have done anything." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Shen Mengyi let out a sigh of relief. Good, Lin Tian wasn''t as formidable as she thought. The idea of someone being able to revive a dead person was too frightening to contemplate. It even crossed the line of Shen Mengyi''s mental threshold. Fortunately, fortunately, Lin Tian wasn''t that monstrous. "That''s still pretty amazing, what can''t you do?" Hearing that Lin Tian was not as horrifying as she had imagined, Shen Mengyi''s gaze towards Lin Tian became much warmer. When someone becomes too terrifying, it can actually create a sense of fear and distance. Lin Tian also sensed this change and, seeing Shen Mengyi''s curious eyes, he smiled lightly and took Shen Mengyi''s small hand, gazing into her eyes with a smile, "I can''t have children." "What are you doing?" Shen Mengyi''s face flashed with panic as her hand was suddenly seized by Lin Tian. In her panic, there was also a hint of shyness. Holding Shen Mengyi''s soft hand, Lin Tian looked at her teasingly, "Why have you been avoiding me lately?" "What, I haven''t been avoiding you!" Lin Tian''s hand was warm, and feeling the heat from his hand, Shen Mengyi''s heart became even more chaotic, beating wildly as if a small deer were jumping inside. Flushing with shyness and embarrassment, Shen Mengyi lowered her head slightly. Seeing this, Lin Tian carefully lifted Shen Mengyi''s chin with his other hand, his gaze fixed on her eyes as he smiled, "You still say you haven''t, so why do you flee?" Lin Tian''s gaze was very intense, and very naked. Shen Mengyi found Lin Tian''s stare too much to bear. Under that gaze, she felt her whole body melting. Unable to stand Lin Tian''s insistent eyes, Shen Mengyi turned away in a flurry, quickly pulling her hand back and running outside, calling out, "I don''t know what you''re talking about." Watching Shen Mengyi, who looked like a shy little deer fleeing in a panic, Lin Tian smiled slightly, shook his head, and followed her out. You little vixen, sooner or later I will consume you! Chapter 230 Without Face, You Are Nothing! By the time Lin Tian stepped outside the hospital, he happened to see Shen Mengyi standing alone at the entrance, seemingly waiting for a car. Upon seeing Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian walked over to her. After a while, Shen Mengyi had regained her composure, and the initial shyness on her face was gone. Seeing Lin Tian, she suggested, "It''s quite late, shall we take a taxi back? We can go Dutch."

"Actually, I have a better idea," said Lin Tian with a slight smile upon seeing Shen Mengyi. "What idea?" Shen Mengyi turned her head curiously looking at him upon hearing this. Under the somewhat dim streetlight, Shen Mengyi looked even more enchanting, especially with her attentive and curious demeanor, which was incredibly appealing. Lin Tian glanced at Shen Mengyi, smiled slightly, and then grabbed her hand and dashed toward the nearby alley. "Hey, what are you doing!" Lin Tian was so forceful that Shen Mengyi had no choice but to run along with him. After covering some distance, they eventually stopped in a deserted corner. "What are you doing?" Seeing that Lin Tian had finally stopped, Shen Mengyi tried to pull her hand free from his grip, but Lin Tian held it tightly and she could not get it out. Looking at Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian said playfully, "Didn''t you want to see a different method? I''ll take you!" With that, he stepped forward and tightly hugged her. "What! What are you doing!" Startled by Lin Tian''s embrace, Shen Mengyi hurriedly tried to push him away. Holding Shen Mengyi tightly, Lin Tian did not let go of his grip and then used his mind to activate his power. Whoosh! In an instant, invisibility. Then, Lin Tian kicked off the ground. Whoosh! In an instant, Lin Tian took off into the air with Shen Mengyi. "What are you doing, let go!" Shen Mengyi continued to struggle violently. But after a while, feeling something unusual, Shen Mengyi suddenly opened her eyes in astonishment. "Ah!" Immediately, Shen Mengyi let out a sharp scream. "How is it! How does flying feel!" Holding Shen Mengyi tightly, feeling the wind on his face, Lin Tian laughed loudly. "You, you¡­" Looking down at the buildings below and the dim lights, Shen Mengyi was stunned. "Feels great, right! Haha!" Seeing Shen Mengyi in shock, Lin Tian smiled smugly, then with a thought, he flew toward the school with her. Lin Tian was extremely fast, and the fierce wind blew ceaselessly, causing Shen Mengyi''s hair to dance in the wind. It was the nighttime, and the weather was a bit cold, made colder by the strong wind, making Shen Mengyi feel chilly. Noticing the chill in Shen Mengyi in his embrace, Lin Tian did not slow down but gently pressed her head against his chest, using his back to block the fierce wind. With her head resting in Lin Tian''s embrace and tight against his chest, Shen Mengyi could distinctly feel the strong and powerful beating of Lin Tian''s heart. Moreover, Lin Tian''s embrace was quite warm. The fierce wind was howling outside, but inside Lin Tian''s arms, Shen Mengyi suddenly felt very secure. It seemed that as long as she was here, she had nothing to fear. Lin Tian distinctly felt the change in Shen Mengyi. Initially, when he held Shen Mengyi, she was somewhat resistant, her muscles tensed. But gradually, as she leaned in his embrace, her muscles slowly relaxed. Lin Tian even felt her steady breathing. Sensing this, Lin Tian slowly decreased his speed. Eventually, Lin Tian paused in mid-air. Hovering in mid-air, Lin Tian looked down at Shen Mengyi in his arms. At this moment, Shen Mengyi had not yet realized that they had already stopped. She was quietly leaning against him. Seeing Shen Mengyi so peaceful in his arms, Lin Tian slowly leaned down and gently kissed her forehead. "Pop!" Feeling a warm kiss on her forehead, Shen Mengyi was startled and quickly raised her head. "Whoa¡­" As she raised her head, her lips were instantly enveloped by his. "Whoa¡­" Shen Mengyi''s eyes widened. ¡­ Twenty minutes later, Lin Tian gently landed with Shen Mengyi on the rooftop of the women''s dormitory. By then, Shen Mengyi''s face was still slightly red. Seeing the shy Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian chuckled, "We should hang out more often to enhance our bond!" "Who wants to enhance a bond with you!" Shen Mengyi spat at Lin Tian and then, blushing, ran towards the staircase. "Haha¡­" Lin Tian watched Shen Mengyi with a grin until she disappeared from sight, then he withdrew his gaze. ** The next morning, just after Lin Tian finished his fourth class and was planning to head back to his dorm, suddenly, the class advisor called him. "Lin Tian, where are you now?" "On my way back to the dorm. What''s up?" Lin Tian found it odd that the advisor would call him, as he wasn''t a class leader or someone the advisor usually needed to contact. "Here''s the thing, Principal Zhu wants to see you, could you please come to the principal''s office?" said the advisor very politely, almost as if thinking Lin Tian had some connections that required the principal''s attention. "The principal wants to see me?" Hearing this, Lin Tian frowned, his face showing even more confusion. Why would the principal want to see him? After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian pondered for a while and ultimately turned towards the principal''s office. Although Lin Tian could ignore it, he decided to give the principal some face. ** As Lin Tian walked towards the principal''s office, inside, Zhu Ziqiang was warmly hosting Wang Lei. "Come, please sit, please sit!" while inviting Wang Lei to sit, Zhu Ziqiang personally poured him a cup of tea. After placing the freshly poured tea on the coffee table in front of Wang Lei, Zhu Ziqiang sat on the opposite couch and looked at Wang Lei with a smile, "How''s the old man?" "Not bad! Just worried about my sister''s issues," Wang Lei nodded slightly. "Ah, I am powerless about Xiao Hong''s issue." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang sighed, his expression becoming somewhat gloomy. After sighing, Zhu Ziqiang looked at Wang Lei, "How is Xiao Hong now?" "The situation isn''t very good, otherwise, I wouldn''t have come to ask for Lin Tian''s help this time." Wang Lei had already heard Lin Tian''s name when Zhu Ziqiang made the call earlier. "Didn''t the old man hate this the most?" Zhu Ziqiang also knew that they had called Lin Tian because Lin Tian could draw talismans. But as far as he knew, Wang Chenggong hated this the most. "We had no other choice," Wang Lei explained. Thinking, Wang Lei looked worriedly at Zhu Ziqiang, "Lin Tian won''t refuse, will he?" Upon hearing Wang Lei''s words, Zhu Ziqiang laughed heartily, a relaxed expression on his face, "Don''t worry, you can be assured!" Zhu Ziqiang appeared very confident. If one were to speak about rankings at the school, aside from the Party Secretary, he was the boss. "That''s good!" With a slight smile, Wang Lei nodded. Wang Lei wasn''t really worried; he had just asked casually. "Knock knock..." While the two were talking, suddenly there was a knocking sound. Hearing the knocking sound, Zhu Ziqiang restrained his smile and said sternly, "Come in." Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "Creak~!" With the sound of the door opening, Lin Tian pushed the door and entered. Upon entering, Lin Tian saw two people sitting on the couch. Glancing around, Lin Tian immediately spotted Wang Lei sitting on the opposite couch. Seeing Wang Lei, Lin Tian''s expression hardened, and the smile that had been on his face slowly faded, turning somewhat icy. This guy, he dares to come looking for me! The moment he saw Wang Lei, Lin Tian understood why he was there. No one else but Wang Hong''s issue. "It seems Wang Hong''s condition is more severe than I imagined," Lin Tian thought to himself. Otherwise, he believed they definitely wouldn''t have come so early. However, to Lin Tian''s surprise, they could actually get the principal involved; clearly, their family had significant influence. Seeing Lin Tian, Zhu Ziqiang immediately stood up, his face brimming with a smile, "This must be Mr. Zhang, right? Please, have a seat." Glancing at Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian said nothing and walked over to sit down himself. The sofa was very soft and comfortable. Seeing Lin Tian sit down, Zhu Ziqiang smiled and said, "Lin, you must know Mr. Wang. He would like to ask you to come help, could you consider it?" "I cannot!" Glancing at Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian flatly refused. "This..." Upon hearing Lin Tian''s definite answer, Zhu Ziqiang was completely taken aback. He couldn''t believe that Lin Tian dared to answer him like that. And with such a cold tone, it was completely unexpected. Glancing at the somewhat stunned Zhu Ziqiang, Wang Lei turned his head and offered, "How much money do you want?" When he said this, Wang Lei''s attitude didn''t seem pleading but rather like giving charity. It seemed as if by speaking, Lin Tian would be eager to come over. Hearing this tone, Lin Tian was very displeased. Furrowing his brow, he turned his head to look at Wang Lei, word by word he said, "I said, I am not going!" "You!" Wang Lei was directly angered by Lin Tian''s firm attitude, glaring at him. Coldly glancing at Wang Lei, Lin Tian got up and walked towards the door, saying as he went, "I''ve said it, it''s useless to ask me! Don''t bother coming back in the future!" "You, stop right there!" It was only when Lin Tian was almost out the door that Zhu Ziqiang finally reacted, slamming his hand on the coffee table and standing up. Fury! Zhu Ziqiang was very angry, his face turning a steely blue. In his own school, he had never been treated like this, and today a student had actually sullied his dignity, which upset him greatly. He was the school principal! As far as he was concerned, as long as he gave an order, the student should scurry about to complete it! But this student had actually ignored him! What about his dignity? Hearing Zhu Ziqiang''s angry voice behind him, Lin Tian paused, slowly turned around, and with a smirk that was not quite a smile looked at Zhu Ziqiang: "Principal Zhu, are you a pig? I give you face because you''re the principal; if I don''t, you are nothing!" "You!" Zhu Ziqiang was truly provoked, pointing at Lin Tian, his hand trembling with rage. Chapter 231 I Think You Are a Pig! "Kid, do you know who you have offended? I want you dead, and you won''t survive tonight! Understand?" Seeing Lin Tian''s arrogant demeanor, Wang Lei looked at him with a cold expression. "Dead?" Hearing this, Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. At that moment, the rage in Lin Tian''s heart could no longer be contained. The smile on Lin Tian''s face slowly faded, and he quickly walked towards Wang Lei. "What are you doing?" Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Wang Lei hurriedly got up. Honestly speaking, he was not afraid of Lin Tian. Lin Tian seemed to be only 1.7 meters tall, while he was taller at 1.8 meters. But he was truly frightened by Lin Tian''s slap yesterday! Lin Tian, with a cold face, didn''t say a word but quickly stepped in front of Wang Lei and reached out to grab him. Seeing Lin Tian''s movement, Wang Lei hurriedly tried to block with his hand. Slap! But Lin Tian was too fast. As soon as Wang Lei moved his hand, he felt his head being grabbed. Gripping Wang Lei''s hair harshly, Lin Tian pressed down forcefully! He slammed Wang Lei''s head against the coffee table! "Bang!" Instantly, Wang Lei''s head and the coffee table crashed together, scattering cups all over the floor. Meanwhile, the tea from the teapot spilled out, splashing onto Wang Lei''s face. "Ah!" The scalding tea immediately spilled onto Wang Lei''s face, causing him to scream in agony as his face instantly swelled. Viciously pulling up Wang Lei, Lin Tian pressed down again! Bang! Wang Lei''s head harshly collided with a teacup, instantly shattering it, and several fragments embedded themselves in Wang Lei''s skin. Lin Tian, pulling Wang Lei''s head, caused blood to gush from it immediately. "Ah, ah!" Wang Lei screamed in pain. "Hmph!" Seeing Wang Lei in this miserable state, Lin Tian snorted coldly and flicked his hand. Slap! Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian''s strength was immense, and with a flick of his hand, he threw Wang Lei to the ground. "Ah, ah!" Lying on the ground, Wang Lei screamed in agony, wanting to touch his face but not daring to do so, as it was embedded with shards of glass. "You, you..." Seeing Wang Lei in this state, Zhu Ziqiang was stunned, pointing at Lin Tian in shock and anger! Glancing at Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian took a large step forward. "What are you doing?" Seeing Lin Tian advancing, Zhu Ziqiang staggered back a step, his face awash with fear. "Idiot!" Lin Tian delivered a harsh slap. Instantly! Zhu Ziqiang''s left cheek swelled up immediately, and the whole person was knocked to the ground by Lin Tian. Having swept a glance at Zhu Ziqiang, who lay on the ground not daring to rise, Lin Tian disdainfully spat and turned to leave. "Bang!" Hearing the loud door slam, Zhu Ziqiang''s body instinctively shuddered. "Huff, huff!" Zhu Ziqiang lay on the ground, feeling a bit dazed in his head. It took him a while to come to his senses. Once he did, Zhu Ziqiang hurriedly got up. As he rose, his hand involuntarily touched his swollen cheek. Instantly, Zhu Ziqiang felt a tearing pain on his face. "Tss..." Drawing in a sharp breath, anger flashed across Zhu Ziqiang''s face! Extreme anger! Zhu Ziqiang had never expected someone to dare hit him in the school, especially a student. Utter lawlessness! Thinking this, a rage welled up inside Zhu Ziqiang. He couldn''t suppress this rage! Covering his swollen cheek, Zhu Ziqiang quickly walked to his desk. Upon reaching the desk, Zhu Ziqiang immediately called the school security. "Hello, security office? Hurry up and arrest someone for me. He dared to openly assault the principal in the principal''s office, secure him for me! Yes, bring him here first." After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ziqiang prepared to walk outside, anger coursing through him. After a few steps, hearing the scream behind him, Zhu Ziqiang stopped and turned back to Wang Lei, crouching beside him, and asked, "Lei, shall I call an ambulance for you?" sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No need! Get that kid arrested! Damn it, if I don''t kill him today, my last name isn''t Wang!" Clutching his cheek tightly, Wang Lei was furious. He still felt the glass embedded in his cheek. Seeing Wang Lei''s bloody face, Zhu Ziqiang really wanted to teach Lin Tian a lesson, but he restrained himself, deciding to take care of Wang Lei first. Thinking this, Zhu Ziqiang immediately called the medical office: "Hello, medical office? This is Zhu Ziqiang¡­" Meanwhile, having slammed the door with force, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. After thrashing someone, Lin Tian always vented some of his inner resentment. Lin Tian was not the kind to be overly outrageous, but his temper was certainly not good either. If someone really provoked him, Lin Tian didn''t mind showing them his unpleasant side. Thinking of Wang Lei''s arrogant demeanor as if he were the best under the heavens, Lin Tian felt extremely annoyed. "Idiot, you won''t die if you don''t court death!" Muttering coldly, he thought for a moment, then took out his cell phone and made a call. "Yes, that''s the situation, alright, thank you for the trouble!" After chatting for a while, Lin Tian hung up the phone. Lin Tian knew that assaulting Zhu Ziqiang would naturally lead to some subsequent troubles. Lin Tian had already anticipated this, after all, no matter what, Zhu Ziqiang was a university president and held some minor authority. If Lin Tian did nothing, retaliation was certain. Lin Tian was not afraid of this and could even make Zhu Ziqiang suffer a setback again. Since Zhu Ziqiang was a figure in the official circles, suppressing him with a higher authority was simple. After Lin Tian made a call to Zhong Guo, with Lin Tian''s help, Zhong Guo had been promoted again and had become an important leader in the province! Zhong Guo was very enthusiastic towards Lin Tian, generally responsive to any request. This time, he agreed to have Zhu Ziqiang apologize to Lin Tian. Lin Tian did not take this matter to heart. For him, it was all a minor episode. Humming a tune, Lin Tian headed towards the school dormitory. Suddenly, Lin Tian paused and looked up at the electric patrol car ahead. Before Lin Tian, a blue electric patrol car was rapidly approaching him. Lin Tian recognized this patrol car, it was used by the school security. At that moment, three uniformed security guards were sitting in the electric patrol car. Seeing the patrol car, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, and he then stopped in his tracks. Lin Tian could see that the car was coming for him. The patrol car was speeding. Just after Lin Tian had stopped walking, the car reached him. The moment the car stopped, the three security guards charged towards Lin Tian. "Get him!" As soon as they got out, two guards lunged at Lin Tian, each grabbing one of Lin Tian''s arms, fearful that Lin Tian might escape. The two held on tightly, and being grasped in this manner made Lin Tian very uncomfortable. With a flick of his hand, Lin Tian snorted coldly, "What are you doing?" "You hit someone, what do you think? Get up!" Seeing Lin Tian not cooperating, one of the guards tightened his grip on Lin Tian''s arm, attempting to pull Lin Tian forward, but completely unable to move him. "What''s wrong, where are we going?" Lin Tian flicked his hand, directly shaking off the hands of the two security guards that were holding his arms. "Kid, you''ve got some nerve, daring to hit the principal! Come with us to see the principal," said the third security guard seeing Lin Tian''s defiant attitude. He frowned, and slowly pulled out a black police baton from the car. Glancing indifferently at the black baton in the man''s hand, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed, "To see Zhu Ziqiang? Fine, I''ll go on my own!" Saying this, Lin Tian turned around and headed back to the principal''s office. Seeing Lin Tian walk away, the three security guards were stunned and then hurriedly followed him. Lin Tian''s steps hastened, his footsteps rapidly pattering. Lin Tian couldn''t believe that Zhu Ziqiang, this guy, was still so unselfaware and had even thought about having security fetch him. Fine! Then let it be! With a cold face, Lin Tian quickly walked towards the principal''s office. ** In the principal''s office, Zhu Ziqiang helped Wang Lei up and seated him on a sofa. Seeing Wang Lei''s face covered in blood, Zhu Ziqiang consoled, "Hang in there, the medical team will arrive soon." Covering his face, feeling the blood still oozing out, Wang Lei said bitterly, "What about that kid?" "I''ve sent for the security to catch him, he will be here soon," Zhu Ziqiang explained. "I must kill him!" Wang Lei said, covering his face, bitterness evident in his tone. Hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang said nothing but touched his cheek swollen like a steamed bun, a cold flash passing through his eyes. In the school, he had never suffered such humiliation; he couldn''t rest without venting his anger. "Bang!" As he thought, suddenly, a loud door-slamming noise came. "Bang!" The sound was loud, as if someone had kicked the door open. Hearing the noise, Zhu Ziqiang, who was considering how to teach Lin Tian a lesson, was startled and quickly turned to look at the door. Turning his head, he then saw Lin Tian standing expressionlessly outside the door. "You¡­" Seeing Lin Tian, Zhu Ziqiang gasped. For some reason, he felt a bit panicky. Coolly sweeping his gaze over Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian chuckled coldly and slowly walked in. "What are you doing!" As Lin Tian entered, the three guards who followed burst in as well. Having seen Lin Tian kick the door, they reprimanded him as soon as they entered. Seeing three uniformed officers armed with black police batons, Zhu Ziqiang, who had been somewhat uneasy, instantly calmed down. With a cold snort, he pointed at Lin Tian, "Detain him!" Coolly staring at Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian taunted, "I see you''re really a pig." Saying this, Lin Tian slowly walked towards Zhu Ziqiang. Seeing Lin Tian approaching, Zhu Ziqiang''s face instantly panicked, he stepped back in a flurry and yelled at the three security guards, "Stop him!" Hearing Zhu Ziqiang''s order, the three security guards hurried over and blocked Lin Tian''s path. Seeing the three uniformed security guards in front of him, Zhu Ziqiang felt emboldened, his face clouded with hatred as he said, "Do you even understand what you''re doing? Do you still want to graduate?" "Whether I graduate or not isn''t up to you," Lin Tian said, facing Zhu Ziqiang calmly. "It is up to me, you''re expelled tomorrow. Still thinking about graduating, laughable!" Staring at Lin Tian, Zhu Ziqiang chuckled coldly. Lin Tian didn''t respond, just stared at Zhu Ziqiang, observing his slightly balding forehead. Suddenly, Lin Tian was reminded of his high school principal. That lascivious principal who he had brought down. "Looks like they''re all the same¡­" Muttering softly, the corners of Lin Tian''s mouth tilted slightly upwards. Meanwhile, Zhu Ziqiang was still blabbering non-stop: "I don''t know how someone like you even got into this school. Don''t bother coming tomorrow. Wait to go to jail! Clueless! Trash." Zhu Ziqiang said, looking at Lin Tian fiercely. Staring at the incessantly talking Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian snorted coldly, then stepped forward. Chapter 232 The Principal Is Flabbergasted! "Block him!" Zhu Ziqiang was startled to see Lin Tian stepping forward. Suddenly, three security guards charged at Lin Tian, and one even swung a baton towards Lin Tian''s head. Whoosh! The black baton sliced through the air, aiming directly for his head. Narrowing his eyes, Lin Tian reached out his hand. Smack! Lin Tian firmly grasped the baton in his hand. With a tug¡ª Whoosh, Lin Tian yanked the black baton over. The security guard couldn''t hold on and had to let go; even though he released it quickly, his palm still throbbed with searing pain. Holding the black baton, Lin Tian glanced at it and then gave it a snap. Crack! In an instant, Lin Tian had snapped the black baton in two. "Snap!" Lin Tian threw the broken baton to the ground. "This..." Seeing the baton broken in two on the ground, everyone was stunned. This baton wasn''t made of wood; it had steel inside. And Lin Tian had just broken it with his bare hands? This, this... Witnessing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. Lin Tian, glancing at the few stunned people, stepped towards Zhu Ziqiang. Seeing Lin Tian coming, the three security guards instinctively tried to stop him. "Hmm?" Lin Tian glared. Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire "Uh..." Intimidated by Lin Tian''s glare, the three security guards immediately felt a chill in their hearts, feeling somewhat uneasy. After a cold glance at the three men, Lin Tian walked directly past the security guards towards Zhu Ziqiang. "Stop him! Stop him for me!" Zhu Ziqiang''s face flashed with panic as he saw Lin Tian approach. But no matter how much Zhu Ziqiang shouted, the three security guards behind him didn''t dare to move. Lin Tian''s show of strength had thoroughly shaken them. Lin Tian''s power was too abnormal. They certainly didn''t want to suffer broken bones, or worse, lose their lives. Seeing the three security guards afraid to move, and Lin Tian steadily advancing step by step, Zhu Ziqiang truly panicked. Staggering backward, he called out while retreating, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you know who I am? I''m the principal! You''re committing a crime!" As he retreated, Zhu Ziqiang became increasingly panicked. He was so bewildered that he didn''t think to run, but kept moving backward. Lin Tian pressed on, step by step, until he cornered Zhu Ziqiang against the wall. Seeing Zhu Ziqiang with nowhere to retreat, Lin Tian leaned forward slowly, extended his hand to gently pat Zhu Ziqiang''s cheek, and said softly, "Principal? I''m hitting the principal!" With that, Lin Tian slapped him across the face! Slap! Along with a resounding slap, Zhu Ziqiang''s body was instantly sent sprawling to the ground. sea??h th§× Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. His body fell to the ground, and Zhu Ziqiang felt his cheek burning hot¡ªthis time it was his right cheek. After this blow, both of Zhu Ziqiang''s cheeks swelled up, and he looked like a pig''s head. Coldly staring at Zhu Ziqiang lying on the ground, Lin Tian squatted down, grabbed Zhu Ziqiang''s hair, and brutally pulled his head up to force him to look at himself. While looking at Zhu Ziqiang''s swollen face, Lin Tian said in a cold voice, "Act tough? You''re trying to act tough with me? Do you have any idea how even I''m scared when I lose my temper?" "Bang!" As he spoke, Lin Tian''s hand swung out. Smack! Zhu Ziqiang''s body was directly flung away by Lin Tian, crashing into a chair. Seeing this violent scene, the others didn''t dare to move and just watched in a daze. Lin Tian''s gaze moved from Zhu Ziqiang and swept around, finally resting on Wang Lei, who was sitting on the couch. "I dare not, I dare not!" Seeing Lin Tian''s gaze turn towards him, Wang Lei''s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly begged for mercy. He was genuinely scared of Lin Tian''s violence. Seeing Wang Lei like this, Lin Tian curled his lips in disdain and cursed, "Coward!" Since Wang Lei had already reacted like this, it wouldn''t be good for Lin Tian to strike again. Glancing around, Lin Tian''s gaze ultimately settled back on Zhu Ziqiang, who had just stood up from the ground. Even though Zhu Ziqiang looked like a pig''s head from the beating, Lin Tian still noticed that Zhu Ziqiang''s gaze did not show submission but was full of resentment. Coldly sweeping his eyes over him and noticing his gaze, Lin Tian quickly walked over and slapped him again, "Still not convinced?" "Smack!" With that slap, Zhu Ziqiang was once again knocked to the ground. "Huff!" Lying on the ground, Zhu Ziqiang took a breath. Lin Tian''s slap was too harsh; Zhu Ziqiang could already feel one of his teeth slightly loose. He even tasted a hint of blood at the corner of his mouth. "Huff!" Lying on the ground, Zhu Ziqiang took a deep breath. He didn''t try to stand up but instead looked up at Lin Tian with hatred in his voice: "So what if you beat me to death today? Can you escape? No matter how strong you are, can you dodge a gun?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was slightly stunned¡ªafter a moment, he smiled faintly, crouched down, and said with a laugh while looking at Zhu Ziqiang, "Do you believe that even if I killed you, I wouldn''t face any trouble at all?" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, everyone in the room was stunned. After a moment''s pause, they all somewhat disbelieved Lin Tian, thinking he was bragging. If Lin Tian truly dared to kill the school principal in the center, there was no way he could escape. It wasn''t a minor case. Not only them, Zhu Ziqiang thought the same, but he didn''t speak out of fear that he might provoke Lin Tian. If Lin Tian got agitated and really killed him, it would be a wrongful death. Even though Zhu Ziqiang didn''t speak, Lin Tian still saw the contempt in his eyes. Just as Lin Tian was about to say something, suddenly, the phone on the desk rang. "Ring ring..." Hearing the phone, Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment and after thinking of something, a meaningful smile appeared on his face. He patted Zhu Ziqiang on the arm and said with a smirk, "Go answer the phone and remember to turn on the speaker." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zhu Ziqiang was startled, then after a moment, he stood up, went to the desk, and turned on the speakerphone. "Hello, is this Zhu Ziqiang?" As soon as the phone was answered, a calm and decidedly impolite male voice came through. "Minister Chen..." Hearing this familiar voice, Zhu Ziqiang was taken aback. He didn''t expect Minister Chen to actually call him. "Were you just involved in a conflict with a student named Lin Tian?" Minister Chen didn''t give Zhu Ziqiang a chance to respond and directly asked the question. "Uh..." Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang was taken aback and instinctively looked up at Lin Tian. How did Minister Chen know about this? As Zhu Ziqiang was pondering, the phone transmitted Minister Chen''s curt voice again: "Let me tell you, you can''t afford to offend him. Apologize to him right now!" "Ah..." Hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang was stunned once more. Seemingly aware of Zhu Ziqiang''s shock, Minister Chen''s voice came through the phone with an explanation, "I can''t afford to mess with someone like him, and even if he killed you, it wouldn''t matter! You better weigh your options!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqiang felt a shock run through him and instinctively looked up at Lin Tian again. But when he looked up, all he saw was Lin Tian''s serene face! And at that moment, Zhu Ziqiang was somewhat dazed! Just who was this guy? Chapter 233 Your Apology is Worthless! "That''s enough!" Minister Chen from the other side said before hanging up the call abruptly, as if Zhu Ziqiang was a plague, too lazy to waste any more words with him. "Doot doot doot..." A busy tone came through the phone. Zhu Ziqiang, however, was still in a state of bewilderment! He had no idea that the call had been disconnected and just stood there stupidly holding the phone, staring blankly at Lin Tian. The three security guards were completely stunned on the spot as well. Like three stone statues! And Wang Lei, his eyes were as big as fists! When Zhu Ziqiang took the call, because Lin Tian had specifically requested, the landline had been put on speaker. They all heard the conversation loud and clear. That was Minister Chen, a big shot whom Zhu Ziqiang would normally try to flatter carefully, yet he exhibited an attitude of utmost reverence towards Lin Tian! They simply couldn''t believe it! At that moment, the look Wang Lei gave Lin Tian no longer contained a trace of resentment, replaced instead by deep shock and fear. If Minister Chen wouldn''t dare to provoke Lin Tian lightly, what sort of background did this guy have? How should he deal with having offended him? "Minister Chen''s call is quite daunting, and the effect is pretty clear!" Seeing Zhu Ziqiang and the others all frozen on the spot, Lin Tian felt secretly pleased, a satisfied smile spreading across his face. His gaze swept across everyone, and Lin Tian''s smile suddenly vanished. Lin Tian''s face darkened and his gaze slowly fell on Zhu Ziqiang as he curled his lip and said, "Well, do you believe it now?" Lin Tian''s tone was full of mockery. The way he looked at Zhu Ziqiang was like one would look at a fool, or a monkey in a circus jumping around to amuse the audience. "I believe... I believe it!" At this point, how could Zhu Ziqiang dare to utter a word of denial, he quickly nodded his head. Those who can thrive in the officialdom are no fools! Zhu Ziqiang, having outcompeted many rivals to climb to the position of president of Wu''an University, certainly wasn''t lacking in brains or social skills. Especially in brains! Even though Minister Chen didn''t elaborate on why Lin Tian shouldn''t be provoked, Zhu Ziqiang could tell from his tone that he held Lin Tian in great respect. Zhu Ziqiang completely understood! He knew he had kicked an iron plate this time! He was sure to take a beating for nothing! "So, are you still going to expel me and have me thrown in jail?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes contemptuously, pressing Zhu Ziqiang with his gaze. Lin Tian certainly wasn''t going to let Zhu Ziqiang off easily! He wanted to beat the downed dog thoroughly! Zhu Ziqiang had been so arrogant just a moment ago, acting as if he was invincible under heaven. Lin Tian wanted to take this opportunity to severely crush this old dog''s arrogance! "No, of course not!" Zhu Ziqiang quickly denied, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, his face full of solicitude, "Even if it meant getting myself dismissed and thrown in jail, I wouldn''t dare to expel you, let alone have you put in prison!" "Then tell me, how should we settle today''s matter? You called me here for no reason, threatened me, humiliated me; surely you should give me an explanation, right?" Lin Tian was very satisfied with Zhu Ziqiang''s sycophantic behavior but did not drop the matter there. At Lin Tian''s words, Zhu Ziqiang was instantly dumbstruck! At this moment, he regretted so deeply his intestines turned green! He regretted listening to Wang Lei and inexplicably provoking Lin Tian, this formidable foe. He also knew that given the current situation, it was not just about losing face¡ªif he didn''t show enough sincerity, it would be hard to settle the matter amicably! "This..." Zhu Ziqiang''s thoughts raced as he pondered how to compensate Lin Tian to his satisfaction and put this issue to rest. As Zhu Ziqiang was pondering, several more people suddenly came through the office door. These people had rushed over after hearing the commotion here. Seeing the chaotic scene inside the office, they were all dumbfounded and started asking questions all at once. "President, what''s going on here?" "Was there an attack by violent criminals? Why has your office turned into this?" "Who dares to commit assault in the president''s office?" ... Shifting their gaze, the few teachers immediately saw Lin Tian standing in front of Zhu Ziqiang. The teachers, angered, glared at Lin Tian with wide eyes, "Who are you? Which department? What are you doing!" The teachers'' attitude was aggressive! They had an imperious tone, as if they were high above! "Shut up!" Just as a few teachers wanted to make a good impression, suddenly, Zhu Ziqiang''s angry shout rang in their ears! Zhu Ziqiang glared fiercely at several teachers! Uh... Blinded by Zhu Ziqiang''s glare, the few teachers were momentarily confused, not understanding what was happening. Why was the president siding with the assaulting student? But Zhu Ziqiang''s heart was silently crying out, "I''ve lost so much face today! These people are just adding fuel to the fire!" It couldn''t go on like this! With this thought, Zhu Ziqiang resolutely steeled his heart and said to Lin Tian in a low and humble voice, "Lin Tian, I apologize on behalf of the university for bringing you unnecessary trouble today! I hope you can understand and forgive!" Silence! Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire The office was dead quiet! So quiet that you could almost hear everyone''s heartbeats! The teachers at the door were dumbfounded once more, their faces full of disbelief! The principal actually apologized to Lin Tian personally? What''s going on? Although they were shocked, puzzled, and found it hard to believe, they had an unspoken agreement to remain silent, not a single person asking why! "Heh..." Lin Tian didn''t bother with the astonishment and confusion of those few teachers, simply let out a faint chuckle, neither accepting nor expressing dissatisfaction, just watched Zhu Ziqiang with a mocking smile. Zhu Ziqiang felt Lin Tian''s mocking eyes on him like thorns on his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over! But he didn''t dare show the slightest dissatisfaction! All he hoped for was for Lin Tian to let it go and not pursue the matter further! Waiting and waiting! Zhu Ziqiang had waited for a full half minute, but Lin Tian still hadn''t responded. Seeing Lin Tian not taking a stance, Zhu Ziqiang was both afraid and anxious, a layer of fine sweat involuntarily breaking out on his bald forehead. Yet even so, he didn''t dare to wipe the sweat away! Zhu Ziqiang stole a glance at Lin Tian and thought to himself, "I''ve gone so far as to lose face apologizing to him, isn''t he satisfied? What am I supposed to do now?" "Alright! Since you''ve apologized, let''s call it even!" Just when Zhu Ziqiang was about to break down, Lin Tian finally spoke. He finally made it through! "Phew!" Zhu Ziqiang let out a long breath, his anxious heart finally settling down, and then he wiped the sweat from his forehead. That half minute just now felt like half a century to him! It was incredibly long! It was then that a sharp light flashed in Lin Tian''s eyes, and he added, "This time, I''ll let it be, I won''t pursue it further! But, if you dare do it again... huh, you know what will happen!" "No, no, that won''t happen! I guarantee, there will absolutely be no next time!" Zhu Ziqiang nodded like pounding garlic, not daring to retort at all. At this point, Zhu Ziqiang had completely submitted. Being so submissive in front of Lin Tian, especially in front of several subordinates, was somewhat shameful, but it was better than being dismissed or killed. "Is this how a student talks to a principal? That''s way too overbearing, right?" Seeing Zhu Ziqiang''s submissive behaviour, the teachers watching at the door were once again deeply shocked. Of course, they only dared to say these words in their minds. Pointing fingers and commenting on a leader''s embarrassment to their face is definitely asking for trouble! Nobody would do that! Lin Tian**** scanned the doorway and then, as if nothing had happened, turned and walked towards Wang Lei, as though he had just casually swatted a mosquito. Seeing Lin Tian walking towards him, Wang Lei immediately became nervous! But recalling Zhu Ziqiang''s recent apology and Lin Tian''s acceptance and forgiveness, Wang Lei''s tense heart immediately eased. Before Lin Tian could speak, Wang Lei took the initiative to apologize, "I apologize to you! What I did to you before was my fault, I hope you can..." Slap! Without saying a word, Lin Tian slapped Wang Lei across the face. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Ah!" Wang Lei let out a shrill scream, clutching his painfully slapped face, looking at Lin Tian in dumbfounded misery, with puzzlement in his eyes. Lin Tian''s slap had stunned Wang Lei! Wang Lei couldn''t understand why Lin Tian would accept Zhu Ziqiang''s apology but not give him a chance to apologize, slapping him right away? Why were the "treatments" of the two different? It made no sense! "Idiot!" Lin Tian seemed to see through what Wang Lei was thinking, and with disdain, he pursed his lips and coldly spat out two words. Wang Lei glared at Lin Tian, his eyes appearing to spit fire! First a slap, then a scolding, scolded and slapped again, and still slapped after apologizing¡ªwhat kind of behavior was this? Had he no humanity left? It was an unbearable situation even for an aunt, let alone an uncle! Seeing the anger flickering in Wang Lei''s eyes, Lin Tian thought for a moment, then said indifferently, "Do you know why, even after you apologized of your own accord, I still hit you? Do you know why?" "Why?" Wang Lei was startled and indeed wanted to understand this issue. Lin Tian''s tone grew heavier, as he spoke deliberately, "Because to me, your apology is worth nothing! I don''t care for it, nor do I need it! I just wanted to hit you!" "You¡­" Wang Lei was both shocked and angry, wanted to harshly rebuke Lin Tian, but he held back his words and hurriedly retreated backward. Wang Lei was truly frightened by Lin Tian''s actions! "''You'' what? What''s wrong? Not convinced?" Lin Tian snorted coldly, stepping closer to Wang Lei with the posture of someone about to strike again. Although Wang Lei was angry, he didn''t want the momentary satisfaction of talking back, only to bear the brunt of Lin Tian''s endless fury and be beaten into a pig-headed state. Instantly, he prudently shut his mouth and backed away once more. Seeing Wang Lei''s frightened misery, Zhu Ziqiang felt a bit of pity inside. But he didn''t say a word to stop it! Zhu Ziqiang was very clear that Lin Tian would not give him, the principal, face, nor would he heed his advice. More importantly, he was afraid that speaking out might implicate him again. Falling twice in the same spot is definitely the act of an idiot! Zhu Ziqiang didn''t want to be that idiot! However, Zhu Ziqiang''s concerns seemed to be unnecessary. "I don''t like trouble, but I''m not afraid of it! If anyone dares to irritate me, I guarantee they''ll be spattered with blood within five steps!" Lin Tian stepped closer to Wang Lei again, but this time without the intent to strike. Although his voice wasn''t loud, Lin Tian''s tone was incredibly firm, leaving no room for doubt. He looked like a majestic God of War! Wang Lei''s heart quivered fiercely, not daring to move an inch. Lin Tian stared at Wang Lei, his voice hard, "You''d better remember this¡ªdon''t appear within twenty meters of me ever again! Otherwise, I''ll beat you every time I see you!" Having said that, Lin Tian let out a cold laugh and turned towards the office door. Chapter 234 Hitting the Principal, I am the First! "Too arrogant! Are these really students?" Seeing Lin Tian heading for the door without regard for anyone else, the teachers at the doorway were all stunned, and the same thought popped up in everyone''s mind. But not a single one dared to speak, they even didn''t dare to breathe heavily! Lin Tian''s behavior was too domineering! In their eyes, Lin Tian was no longer a student at that moment, but a demon covered in spikes, bringing misfortune to whoever provoked him! They silently made way! Only when Lin Tian''s figure disappeared at the staircase and no more footsteps could be heard did everyone in the office finally breathe a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. "Principal, about that student just now..." one of the teachers turned to Zhu Ziqiang with a concerned expression and asked, "Should we call the police?" When Lin Tian was present, they were too afraid of getting burned themselves and didn''t even dare to fart. But now that Lin Tian had left and the danger was gone, they naturally showed their loyalty to Zhu Ziqiang, the principal. "Idiots! Do you even need to say that? If calling the police was useful, don''t you think I would know to do that?" Zhu Ziqiang''s face suddenly darkened, and he glared coldly at that teacher. That tone, it was just like scolding his own son! "I..." Trying to suck up but accidentally hitting the hoof instead, that teacher immediately stiffened, his face colored with embarrassment. Having made a fool of himself in front of his subordinates, Zhu Ziqiang did not show a shred of goodwill. The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt, and as his gaze swept over everyone, he barked, "What are all of you standing around for? Don''t you have jobs to do? Get back to work!" Seeing this, the teachers knew things had gone badly, who would dare to linger? One by one, they quickly withdrew and hurried off. "You all go out too!" Zhu Ziqiang''s gaze shifted and landed on the three security guards, his face full of rage as he snorted, "What use are you? At a critical moment, utterly useless, a bunch of trash!" Hearing Zhu Ziqiang''s words, the three security guards didn''t dare to refute a single word. It wasn''t that they were unwilling to exert themselves just now; it''s just that Lin Tian was too strong. Even if the three of them teamed up, they were no match for him. "Principal, who exactly is this Lin Tian? Why does it seem like even Minister Chen is afraid of him, not daring to provoke him?" As soon as the security left, Wang Lei immediately started questioning Zhu Ziqiang. "I don''t know either!" Zhu Ziqiang replied with a wry smile, shaking his head, "If you hadn''t come to me, I wouldn''t even know such a person existed in our school." Zhu Ziqiang was not bluffing; he truly knew nothing about Lin Tian! He was feeling depressed and full of regret now! If he could go back in time, he definitely would not have agreed so rashly to help Wang Lei. He would have thoroughly researched Lin Tian''s information first, and then respectfully invite him over. But there is no such thing as a regret medicine in this world! Now, it''s too late for everything! "Looking at the situation now, this will be difficult!" Zhu Ziqiang sighed deeply and advised quietly, "I can''t be of any help now! Try to find Lin Tian''s friends, sincerely apologize to him, and maybe it will work¡­" ****** After teaching Zhu Ziqiang and Wang Lei a harsh lesson, Lin Tian felt incredibly good. Lin Tian was not someone who liked to cause trouble, but if someone foolhardily sought trouble with him, he would not deliberately let it go, nor would he show any mercy. Just like Wang Lei and Zhu Ziqiang! They sought favors without showing the slightest humility, acting superior instead and treating Lin Tian like a minor character who could be called and dismissed at will. Such people, they must be severely punished! Punished until they reflect on their actions! Lin Tian clenched his fists, muttering to himself, "It''s right to keep a low profile, but if some random Joe comes to make trouble, they need to be smacked down hard!" "Lin Tian!" As Lin Tian turned around, he saw Mengting not far behind him. Mengting smiled radiantly as she walked toward him. "Mengting!" Lin Tian quickly cleared his mind of chaotic thoughts, grinned sheepishly, and cheerfully approached Mengting. His demeanor was completely like that of a philanderer spotting a beauty. "You womanizer!" As Lin Tian got closer, Mengting suddenly dropped her smile and twisted a piece of soft flesh around his waist. "Gently, gently!" Lin Tian dodged while protesting, "What''s going on? Why am I suddenly the womanizer now?" Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire Mengting snorted prettily and accused, "I called you four times, and you only turned around at the fourth! Tell me, were you checking out other girls just now?" "No, absolutely not!" Lin Tian immediately denied. "I don''t believe it!" "I was deep in thought just now!" Lin Tian wrapped an arm around Mengting''s waist, kissed her on the face, and chuckled, "With such a beautiful wife like you, how could I even think about looking at other women!" Bu Mengting''s lively eyes rolled around twice as she smiled and said, "I can believe you, but you have to tell me what you are thinking about?" "It''s like this..." Lin Tian began as they walked. He had given the principal a severe beating in the principal''s office, which was no small matter, and Lin Tian did not plan to conceal it from Bu Mengting. Moreover, even if Lin Tian did not mention it now, others would eventually talk. After all, the noise at that time was quite loud! As they talked, they arrived at the entrance of the school cafeteria. Lin Tian had just finished explaining the entire situation. "You really hit Principal Zhu? Are you kidding me?" After hearing Lin Tian''s story, Bu Mengting was incredibly shocked and couldn''t help but stop in her tracks. "Of course it''s true!" Lin Tian nodded affirmatively. Bu Mengting looked worried and expressed her concern, "What are we going to do? You hit the principal. If he retaliates, you will definitely be expelled, and who knows what else..." "Don''t worry, I won''t have any problems!" Lin Tian laughed nonchalantly and winked, "This isn''t the first time I''ve hit a principal! Don''t forget, a few months ago I hit our Second High''s principal, and you know what happened!" "Yes, you do have a history. If you hadn''t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten!" Bu Mengting was slightly stunned, but then she realized. "I''m the first in Second High to hit a principal!" Lin Tian declared proudly. "I remember now!" Bu Mengting paused, turned her head to Lin Tian and said, "That time you hit Zhu Jiang, and he wanted to expel you, then he got dismissed. That video online, it wasn''t you who released it, was it?" Bu Mengting had suspected this when the incident had just happened. However, back then, Bu Mengting and Lin Tian were not in a relationship, so even if she had suspicions, it wasn''t appropriate to verify them face to face. Now that Lin Tian brought it up, she casually asked him. "Of course not!" Lin Tian shook his head and denied. Bu Mengting naturally didn''t believe him and retorted skeptically, "Then explain how it''s such a coincidence? You just hit Zhu Jiang, he wants to expel you, and then that video pops up online?" "Zhu Jiang did so many bad things and had offended many people. It''s normal for someone to take revenge on him!" Lin Tian chuckled. "You''re making excuses! I bet it was you!" Bu Mengting pinched Lin Tian again, shaking her head as she remarked, "But never mind, Zhu Jiang is not a good guy anyway!" "Mengting, you couldn''t be more right! That guy Zhu Jiang really is not a good person, he''s both lecherous and vulgar!" Lin Tian nodded in agreement. Bu Mengting tightened her grip on Lin Tian''s hand and said earnestly, "You''re telling me not to worry, so I will trust you. But if the principal tries to harm you in any way, you must tell me immediately!" "Don''t worry!" Lin Tian nodded, paused slightly, then looked at Bu Mengting with a smile and asked, "Mengting, are you busy this weekend?" "No. Why?" Bu Mengting was curious. "How about we go to the zoo this weekend?" Lin Tian suggested, then quickly added, "Let''s invite Qianqian too. The three of us can go together!" Upon hearing about the three of them going together, Bu Mengting couldn''t help but recall the not-so-child-friendly embarrassing incident from the last time they were together. Instantly, Bu Mengting''s face flushed red. She suddenly reached out, pinched a soft spot on Lin Tian''s waist, and twisted it hard as she shyly pouted, "You scoundrel! Always thinking about all these messy things!" S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s just a trip to the zoo, how is that messy?" Seeing Bu Mengting''s reaction, Lin Tian knew she had misunderstood and couldn''t help but chuckle. Lin Tian and Bu Mengting chatted while they ate, and they agreed to go to the zoo over the weekend. After finishing their meal, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting hung around Lotus Pond for a while, doing some blush-inducing things, before they each returned to their dorms. When Lin Tian got back to his dorm, Feng Jiabao and the others were all there. At the moment, they were all seated in front of Lin Tao''s computer, watching something. "Lin Tian, done being lovey-dovey?" Upon spotting Lin Tian enter, Feng Jiabao shifted his gaze from the screen to Lin Tian and grinned teasingly. "What, jealous?" Lin Tian chuckled as he looked at Feng Jiabao. "Oh, the morals of society these days!" Feng Jiabao sighed lightly, shaking his head melodramatically, "So many people can''t find girlfriends, and here someone is monopolizing several beauties, shamelessly flaunting it by the lotus pond..." Since the last time they witnessed Lin Tian flanked by beauties and enjoying the attention, teasing Lin Tian about having two beautiful girlfriends had become Feng Jiabao''s newest hobby. "So sour, I can smell the scent of aged vinegar!" Lin Tian inhaled through his nose with a laughing tone, gesturing towards Lin Tao and Guo Rong, "Do you smell that?" "The Feng family just opened a vinegar factory recently!" Guo Rong laughed in agreement. "Looks like Boss Feng is going to strike it rich again!" Lin Tao chuckled, then his attention returned to the computer. "You guys..." Feng Jiabao smiled bitterly and shook his head, pointing at Guo Rong and Lin Tao, sighed speechlessly, "Every additional beauty Lin Tian monopolizes is one less resource for us, and you''re still siding with him!" Guo Rong touched his nose and said solemnly, "That''s just his charm! Besides, even if Lin Tian didn''t monopolize them, we probably wouldn''t be able to win them over!" Lin Tian smiled and didn''t continue the topic. Being flanked by beauties is indeed a matter of pride for a man, but in the eyes of the moralists, it''s a typical case of moral corruption! "What''s so fascinating that you''re so engrossed?" Noticing that Lin Tao''s mind was still on the computer, Lin Tian curiously leaned forward, patting Lin Tao''s shoulder. Chapter 235 This is an Act of Valor! "A piece of news!" Lin Tao replied succinctly. As he answered Lin Tian, he stepped aside to make some room so that Lin Tian could also see the content of the news. A piece of news? What kind of news could be so captivating? Lin Tian grew increasingly curious! He craned his neck forward and asked, "Really? A piece of news had you all so engrossed? What major event happened?" "Lately, there''s been a gang of thieves in the city. It''s said to be an organized group! They''re very rampant and commit frequent crimes; many people have been robbed," Lin Tao pointed at the computer screen and said. "The Public Security Bureau is specially reminding everyone to be cautious with their belongings when going out! Moreover, if you spot any suspicious individuals, immediately provide clues to the police." "Here I was thinking it was something serious; it turns out to just be some thieves lurking around! Boring!" Lin Tian immediately lost interest upon hearing Lin Tao''s explanation. Just thieves, what''s there to care about? Wherever there are human settlements, there will naturally be those who steal chickens and dogs. It''s inescapable! Especially in those economically developed and densely populated first-tier cities, the more prosperous and flourishing it is, the more people there are looking for a quick buck. Hopefully, the police can crack this crime ring soon! As Lin Tian mused to himself, he pulled out his phone, went to the balcony, and called home to remind his dad and mom to be cautious lately. After that, he also sent a message each to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. By the time Lin Tian had finished sending the messages, Feng Jiabao and the others were still discussing the ferocious thief gang, chatting enthusiastically, spitting as they spoke. Lin Tian didn''t join in the discussion but instead sat down in front of the computer. Lately, traveling frequently between the school and the city center, shuttling back and forth, was both a waste of money on taxis and inconvenient on buses, which was quite frustrating for Lin Tian. He had millions in his bank account, a genuine tycoon! As a tycoon, how could he not have a car? That absolutely won''t do! And to buy a car, of course, he needed a driving license! sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian planned to first find some materials online, study them seriously, and after he was familiar, go take the test, and then buy a car for commuting. "Once I''ve got the driving license and bought a car, visiting Qianqian will be much more convenient!" Lin Tian thought excitedly, searching for materials and watching tutorial videos on the computer. ****** Good news stays within walls, bad news travels beyond seas! In just a half-day, the news of Lin Tian storming into the principal''s office and beating up the principal quietly spread around the school. However, most people scoffed at this news, not believing it at all. Dare to hit the principal? Must have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard! But those who knew Lin Tian had no doubt about it. The reason was simple, Lin Tian had a history! After finishing the third lesson in the afternoon, many classmates surrounded Lin Tian, those he knew and those he didn''t, all eagerly asking him to verify the matter of him beating up the principal. "Lin Tian, is the rumor true?" "Lin Tian, did you really burst into the principal''s office and give him a beating?" "Lin Tian, will the school expel you?" With the incessant buzzing in his ears, Lin Tian was truly annoyed. Just as Lin Tian was hesitating whether to tell the truth, a lifeline fell from the sky¡ªhis class advisor Liu Ming called again. "Advisor Liu, what''s up?" Lin Tian squeezed out from the crowd and found a secluded corner before answering the phone. "Uh... do you have a moment now? Principal Zhu would like to discuss something with you!" Liu Ming was extremely polite, his tone tinged with a hint of reverence. Lin Tian was quite surprised when he received a call from Liu Ming in the morning. But this time, he wasn''t surprised at all. Hearing Liu Ming mention Zhu Ziqiang, a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips; he already had a vague guess about what Zhu Ziqiang wanted to discuss with him. "It might be difficult right now! I''m in the cafeteria eating; I just got my food and haven''t even taken a bite yet!" Lin Tian feigned hesitation. "Eating, huh..." Liu Ming hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly persuaded, "No worries! Just come to Hao Laiwu outside the school, Principal Zhu will treat you to a meal!" Hao Laiwu is a restaurant. Very famous and the highest-class restaurant around Wu''an University! With Liu Ming putting it that way, Lin Tian stopped hesitating and nodded, "Alright then! I''ll be there in about ten minutes." After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian turned and entered the restroom. He looked around quickly, saw that no one was nearby, and immediately used his Level 1 Invisibility and Level 1 Flight Abilities, disappearing in the restroom. ... Ten minutes later, Lin Tian appeared at the entrance of Hollywood. The counselor, Liu Ming, had been waiting there early. "Lin Tian, over here!" Liu Ming hurried over as soon as he saw Lin Tian, his face blooming into a chrysanthemum smile as he warmly ushered Lin Tian into Hollywood. At the beginning of the school year, Lin Tian had kept a low profile. Liu Ming, seeing only the halo of the top provincial college entrance exam scorer above Lin Tian''s head, subconsciously thought that Lin Tian was just a well-behaved student dedicated solely to his studies. But today, Lin Tian had severely beaten up Principal Zhu Ziqiang. Only then did Liu Ming realize that he had been completely mistaken before! At this moment, Liu Ming had only one thought: to take good care of Lin Tian, help Zhu Ziqiang resolve the current trouble, safeguard his job, and strive to get on Zhu Ziqiang''s good side! "Lin... Master Lin!" As soon as Lin Tian appeared at the door of the private room, Zhu Ziqiang swiftly stood up from his chair, squeezing out a spring-like smile on his bruised, fat face! Lin Tian did not ask why Zhu Ziqiang called him Master Lin. He didn''t need to ask that question! "It must be Minister Chen!" Lin Tian was very sure in his heart, Zhu Ziqiang must have asked Minister Chen. On the contrary, Liu Ming, hearing Zhu Ziqiang''s address for Lin Tian, was both surprised and astonished, nearly falling head over heels at the door of the private room. Master? What master? Since when had Lin Tian become a master? Liu Ming looked puzzled at Lin Tian, but noticed that Lin Tian appeared quite calm. Lin Tian did not explain; he just smiled lightly and said, "We are at the school now. Principal Zhu, please call me Lin Tian, or student Lin Tian." The three of them took their seats. Zhu Ziqiang poured himself a drink, stood up, and said, "Student Lin, I am really sorry about this afternoon! Here, I will penalize myself with three drinks. I hope you can forgive me!" "I won''t take it to heart! Besides, Principal Zhu already apologized this afternoon!" Lin Tian smiled but did not stop Zhu Ziqiang from drinking. Swipe! Swipe! Swipe! Zhu Ziqiang did not hesitate and downed three drinks in succession. The small white porcelain cup, after three drinks, probably less than one ounce, was no challenge at all for Zhu Ziqiang, who was accustomed to alcohol. "Actually, I had no choice. Old Master Wang is my teacher, and Wang Lei asked me for help¡ªI couldn''t refuse!" Zhu Ziqiang explained after setting down his cup. "Principal Zhu truly values loyalty! Nowadays, not many people are as loyal as Principal Zhu," Liu Ming chimed in, smiling and praising. Lin Tian smiled and nodded but made no comment. Zhu Ziqiang did not get to the main topic, so naturally, Lin Tian wouldn''t initiate it either. Seeing Lin Tian''s lack of reaction, Zhu Ziqiang gave up continuing on the emotional tack and decided to get straight to the point with Lin Tian. "Student Lin, you must have heard about the rumors in the school, right?" Zhu Ziqiang looked at Lin Tian and slowly started talking. "I''ve heard!" Lin Tian nodded. He had been cornered by people digging for the truth earlier. "I hope you can help me!" Zhu Ziqiang looked at Lin Tian with a hopeful face, steeling himself as he said, "I know my request is a bit much, but I am the principal after all, and these rumors are damaging my reputation!" "Help you? How?" Although Lin Tian had anticipated Zhu Ziqiang''s purpose in seeking him out, he was still somewhat surprised to hear Zhu Ziqiang say it out loud. Rumors are truly a headache! Now that the rumors were already circulating, what could be done to solve this? Even if Lin Tian came forward to deny the rumors, claiming he had never beaten Zhu Ziqiang, it wouldn''t help. On the contrary, it would only convince people more. Lin Tian really couldn''t think of a good solution! "It''s quite simple, and it''s beneficial for you!" Seeing Lin Tian open up, Liu Ming once again took up Zhu Ziqiang''s cause, happily taking over the conversation. "Beneficial for me?" Hearing that it was advantageous, Lin Tian was somewhat tempted. Liu Ming nodded affirmatively, explaining, "A thug barged into the principal''s office and injured the principal. Student Lin Tian, being there for some work, happened to witness this and rushed in to chase the thug away and rescued the injured principal!" "I chased away the thug and saved the principal?" Lin Tian looked surprised. "Yes!" Zhu Ziqiang nodded affirmatively, then added, "Student Lin''s actions are commendable for their bravery; the school must award him!" Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire Bravery? Lin Tian was utterly surprised! He could never have imagined that, although he had clearly beaten Zhu Ziqiang, he had now become a hero for his bravery, even transforming into the one who rescued Zhu Ziqiang from the thug. "He got beaten up yet had to tough it out, and even had to present the guy who beat him as a hero for bravery; this poor old guy really has it tough," Lin Tian thought to himself with a smirk. Despite despising Zhu Ziqiang, Lin Tian had to admit that Zhu Ziqiang was quite talented. This was indeed the best solution! "This is a good plan!" Lin Tian smiled in agreement. Seeing Lin Tian''s approval, Zhu Ziqiang''s eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, "So, you agree to help me?" "Yes, I agree!" Lin Tian nodded, then glanced at Zhu Ziqiang and playfully added, "But, can I be brave a few more times?" Chapter 236 Im Treating! "Ah?" As he looked at Lin Tianyi''s serious face, Zhu Ziqiang''s smile vanished in an instant, replaced by a thick shock. Can''t you be brave and righteous a few more times? Several more times? Zhu Ziqiang was both surprised and scared! Being brave and righteous is just the official saying, but this is actually about fighting, right? Considering Lin Tian''s astonishing fighting ability, it''s not about doing it several times, just doing it once with all his might could put an end to his glorious life. Zhu Ziqiang stealthily kicked Liu Ming under the table, signalling for him to speak. After receiving the signal, Liu Ming felt both anxious and frustrated! In fact, he was also clueless about Lin Tian''s real thoughts and didn''t know if Lin Tian was joking or serious when he said that. "Cough cough¡­" Liu Ming covered his mouth and coughed dryly, cautiously offering a smile as he said, "It''s better not to! Principal Zhu''s health isn''t great, and can''t withstand such turmoil!" "This scaredy-cat! He really can''t take a scare!" Seeing that Zhu Ziqiang was genuinely frightened by him, Lin Tian couldn''t help but secretly rejoice. The remark Lin Tian had made was actually just a casual comment! After all, Zhu Ziqiang had completely submitted, not only lowering his pride and apologizing to him, but even giving him an award for "being brave and righteous." Just for that, there was no need for him to continue making things difficult for the other party. Lin Tian waved his hand and said with a laugh, "I was just joking! Even if I were to act bravely and righteously, I''d have to choose the right time, right? Principal Zhu, don''t you agree?" As he spoke, Lin Tian turned his head and glanced at Zhu Ziqiang with a half-smile. Zhu Ziqiang had been seriously scared by Lin Tian earlier! Now, hearing Lin Tian say this, he finally relaxed, his lifted heart settling back down. If it''s just a joke, that''s good! I hope there will never be brave and righteous deeds like these again! Zhu Ziqiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and vigorously nodded like a pecking chicken, fully agreeing, "Right! Right! Right! Student Lin is right!" "Right my foot! It''s a good thing you ran into me this time. If it had been someone else, who knows how you and Wang Lei would have bullied them!" Lin Tian inwardly scorned. Zhu Ziqiang''s character became evident to Lin Tian earlier that noon. And this incident also involved another person: Wang Lei! This guy was no good either! Yesterday in the hospital, Lin Tian had already observed that Wang Lei was very hostile towards him, even holding deep animosity. That noon in Zhu Ziqiang''s office, Wang Lei displayed his arrogant and domineering side. A complete profligate indeed! Lin Tian had no doubt that if he didn''t have the connection with Zhong Guo, he would undoubtedly have been expelled by the school by now and coerced into treating Wang Lei''s sister. "Principal Zhu, when will the award be issued?" After pondering for a few seconds, Lin Tian looked at Zhu Ziqiang with a smile and asked. Since it was a favor, naturally the benefits had to be secured in advance! Even if Zhu Ziqiang didn''t dare to write a blank check. But the deal still had to be settled beforehand! While Lin Tian cared about the award, Zhu Ziqiang cared even more! Zhu Ziqiang almost didn''t think before blurting out, "That''s simple! I''ll give a call to the school''s Academic Affairs Office this evening, and the award can be issued tomorrow morning!" "Tomorrow morning¡­" Lin Tian smiled noncommittally. But Zhu Ziqiang, thinking Lin Tian was reluctant, kicked Liu Ming again. Liu Ming instantly understood and explained, "The rumors have already spread throughout the school, and the longer it drags on, the greater the impact. Only this award can effectively quell the falsehoods! So¡­" "That makes sense!" Lin Tian nodded approvingly and said with a laugh, "Then let it be tomorrow morning! From elementary school till now, I''ve never received a notice of award from the school!" After discussing the serious matter, Lin Tian tapped on the table, his face wearing a harmless smile, and he addressed Zhu Ziqiang, "Principal Zhu, can I get this to-go?" Although Lin Tian accepted Zhu Ziqiang''s apology, that was all because of the award. As for dining with this old guy... Sorry, he had no appetite! "To-go?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zhu Ziqiang was startled again. Isn''t it good to eat here, why take it to-go? Won''t it get cold by the time you take it back? "It''s like this. When I went to the cafeteria, our dorm mate Feng Jiabao asked me to bring him some food, and I promised him, so..." Lin Tian spouted the lie without hesitation. "Oh, so you''re bringing food back for your dorm mate!" Zhu Ziqiang nodded, as if he had a sudden realization. But soon, Zhu Ziqiang understood the subtext. So-called bringing food back for a dorm mate was just a pretext. Lin Tian was clearly trying to get rid of him! To put it bluntly, Lin Tian didn''t like him, didn''t want to share a meal with him, and wanted him to get as far away as possible! "No need for that trouble!" Zhu Ziqiang hurriedly waved his hand, looking at Lin Tian pleasingly and said, "Liu Teacher and I have some matters to deal with. You can just call your friend over to eat here, and put it on my tab when you''re done!" "Call him over? How could I impose like that!" Lin Tian feigned politeness as he refused, but he was already taking his phone out of his pocket, ready to make a call. Such hypocrisy! This kid is just too low! Zhu Ziqiang internally criticized, but he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction. With an enthusiastic smile squeezed onto his face, Zhu Ziqiang nonchalantly shook his head, chuckling, "It''s nothing to be embarrassed about, this is all as it should be." "Alright then!" Lin Tian nodded in agreement. "Then I won''t bother you and Teacher Liu anymore. We''ll be leaving first!" Zhu Ziqiang said as he tactfully stood up and patted Liu Ming. As soon as Zhu Ziqiang and Liu Ming left the private room, Lin Tian dialed Feng Jiabao''s number. The moment the call connected, before Feng Jiabao could speak, Lin Tian went straight to the point, "Jiabao, get Guo Rong and Lin Tao over here, come to Hao Lai Wu''s room 208 quickly, it''s on me!" "Hao Lai Wu? You''re treating? Is there something to celebrate?" Feng Jiabao was as always a scatterbrain, eagerly inquiring. "Why ask so many questions? Don''t you want a free feast?" Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered to explain. "Eat! Of course, I''ll eat! How could I miss such a good thing!" Feng Jiabao gleefully agreed, then quickly added, "Alright, I''ll call Guo Rong and Lin Tao now. See you in ten minutes!" "That settles it!" Lin Tian said and then hung up. Since Zhu Ziqiang was treating, naturally Lin Tian wouldn''t miss the opportunity to fleece him. Afterward, Lin Tian called Bu Mengting. Again, without waiting for Bu Mengting to speak, Lin Tian straight away said, "Mengting, gather your dorm mates and come to Hao Lai Wu''s room 208 now, my treat!" ... This meal was full of joy! Since Zhu Ziqiang was the sucker picking up the tab, Lin Tian was unusually generous like never before. All the expensive dishes on the menu were ordered one after another, and if one portion wasn''t enough, another was added. When spending someone else''s money, Lin Tian never went easy. After all, Zhu Ziqiang would be the one paying! Luckily, this place was in the suburbs, mainly targeting students, so the consumption level wasn''t that high; otherwise, the cost of this meal might have caused Zhu Ziqiang to spit blood. During the meal, chitchatting was inevitable! Inevitably, Feng Jiabao and the others steered the topic toward Lin Tian, inquiring about his heroic deed of storming into Zhu Ziqiang''s office and beating him up. Lin Tian had already promised Zhu Ziqiang to help him sustain the lie. Now, of course, he wouldn''t tell the truth. After all, a man must keep his word! So, Lin Tian vividly described to everyone how he "happened to pass by" the principal''s office, saw the "thug" beating up the principal, and then performed a "heroic act" out of "a sense of justice." "Come on, for real?" "That exaggerated? Someone actually barged into the principal''s office and hit him?" Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You actually rescued the principal from the bad guy?" "Is the school really going to reward you?" Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire After listening to Lin Tian explain the "ins and outs", Feng Jiabao and the others were all wide-eyed. Feng Jiabao was shocked someone dared to hit Zhu Ziqiang; Guo Rong praised Lin Tian for his bravery, while the rest like Lin Tao and Bu Mengting''s dorm mates were all envious that Lin Tian was going to be rewarded. Bu Mengting, however, said nothing, her eyes filled with doubt. Feng Jiabao and the others were entirely unaware of the actual situation, so naturally, they took whatever Lin Tian said for granted. But she was different! She already knew the truth about the incident from Lin Tian since noon. All afternoon, she had been worried about Lin Tian! Now, hearing Lin Tian turn the beating of Zhu Ziqiang into a tale of heroism, she instinctively thought that Lin Tian was just afraid of worrying her and had deliberately concocted this set of lies. "Don''t worry..." Lin Tian naturally saw the doubt in Bu Mengting''s eyes and whispered into her ear, quietly telling her about Zhu Ziqiang and Liu Ming seeking him out. "Really?" Bu Mengting immediately exclaimed in surprise. Seeing Lin Tian and Bu Mengting whispering to each other, with Bu Mengting reacting so strongly, Feng Jiabao teased, "Hey, there are other people here, can you two stop being so lovey-dovey?" "What lovey-dovey? You''re talking nonsense!" Bu Mengting contemptuously gave Feng Jiabao a look. "Am I wrong?" Feng Jiabao pouted and laughed, "We all saw it just now; you two were whispering behind our backs, isn''t that showing off your love?" Unabashed, Bu Mengting retorted, "Not at all! Lin Tian just told me, your counselor came looking for him, saying that the school will issue the award notice tomorrow morning!" "So that means the rumor about you beating up the principal is fake?" Feng Jiabao asked. "You already said it was a rumor, do you even have to ask?" Lin Tian chuckled, his face full of pride, "The award notice will come out tomorrow morning, I''m really looking forward to it!" ****** After the meal, the group left Hao Lai Wu and went straight back to school. Lin Tian didn''t rush back to the dormitory but took Bu Mengting to a secluded place to be affectionate, and he also took the opportunity to explain in detail to Bu Mengting why Zhu Ziqiang gave in. It wasn''t until near eleven that they parted ways. After escorting Bu Mengting to the female dormitory building, on his way back to the dorm, Lin Tian spotted a very familiar and utterly detestable figure standing at the door of the dorm building. Wang Lei! "Damn! This guy actually dares to come here, he really is tired of living!" Lin Tian immediately fumed, heading straight for Wang Lei. Chapter 237 Still Have to Wait! "Do you take my words for nothing but wind?" Lin Tian strode up to Wang Lei and landed a slap right on Wang Lei''s head. Smack! Wang Lei staggered from the blow! Lin Tian approached without this guy noticing. This guy was looking off into the distance. Of course, the main reason was that Lin Tian saw this guy brazenly appear here and was very annoyed, so he rushed over very fast. "Who the..." Wang Lei was furious, turning around to lash out, but when he saw that the person who hit him was Lin Tian, he quickly started to explain, "Ah, you''re misunderstanding..." Smack! Lin Tian didn''t listen to the explanation and just slapped him again. After hitting him, Lin Tian coldly said to Wang Lei, "Misunderstanding my foot! What did I say? I told you not to appear within a twenty-meter radius of me, or it''s a slap every time we meet! Are you challenging my patience?" With that, Lin Tian raised his hand high again. Obviously preparing to hit him again! "No, definitely not..." Wang Lei quickly withdrew, retreating backward while dodging Lin Tian''s slap and waving his arms to deny it. This guy was clearly scared by Lin Tian''s slaps, taking seven or eight steps back in succession. Only when he was sure he was at a safe distance did he finally stop. "You''ve really got it wrong!" Seeing that Lin Tian didn''t come after him to start hitting again, Wang Lei finally breathed a sigh of relief and carefully explained, "I''m here to find you, to sincerely apologize to you, and also to ask you to help my sister..." "Sincerity? Is using your power to pressure others your idea of sincerity?" Lin Tian sneered. "I know I was wrong at noon! I''ve come to you now because I want to apologize and hope you can forgive me¡­" Wang Lei said in a low and pleading voice. Before coming to find Lin Tian, he had already prepared himself for the humiliation Lin Tian might dish out. For his sister, he was willing to throw away all his pride! "I''ve told you already, your apology is worthless to me, I don''t care about it!" Lin Tian interrupted Wang Lei impatiently, his eyes filled with disgust. "I..." Wang Lei''s voice suddenly faltered. In an instant, he understood! He had been so excessive before; Lin Tian must really, really dislike him now. No matter how much he apologized, he wouldn''t be able to move Lin Tian to take action. After a brief pause, Wang Lei pleaded again, "I know I was too much before; I don''t even hope for your forgiveness! But my sister is innocent; I beg you..." "It''s no use begging me! You can leave, I won''t treat your sister!" Lin Tian dismissed him with a wave of his hand and then headed towards the dormitory building''s gate. "Don''t go! I beg you, please save my sister..." Seeing Lin Tian about to enter the dormitory, Wang Lei hurriedly threw himself forward. "Get lost! If you pester me again, I will kill you on the spot!" Lin Tian slapped him away and coldly dropped these words, entering the dormitory without looking back. Wang Lei didn''t dare follow him into the dormitory; he was frightened by Lin Tian''s slaps! So he just stood there, lonely at the entrance of the dormitory building. At that moment, he seemed incredibly desolate, like he had been abandoned by the whole world, no trace of his usual arrogant and domineering attitude to be found. "Sigh, it looks like I need to think of another way!" Standing silently for a while, Wang Lei shook his head and sighed, then turned to leave. ****** S§×ar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The next morning. After school, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting went to the school cafeteria to eat together. On their way to the cafeteria, Shen Mengyi approached from the opposite direction. Seeing Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian felt a headache coming on! Bu Mengting had already noticed the little flirtation between him and Shen Mengyi. Now with Bu Mengting right there and Shen Mengyi coming straight over, it was truly awkward for him. The happiness of having more than one lover wasn''t so easy to enjoy! As expected, without any surprises! Seeing Shen Mengyi walking this way, Bu Mengting couldn''t help but snort and pinched Lin Tian''s waist, "You heartless womanizer, someone is looking for you!" "Ouch! My dear wife, gentle please!" Lin Tian begged for mercy and hastily explained in a low voice, "It''s just a coincidence, she might not necessarily be here for me." Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire "Hmph, speaking insincerely!" Just as Bu Mengting finished speaking, Shen Mengyi came over. Shen Mengyi nodded and greeted Bu Mengting, then her gaze fell on Lin Tian''s face, smiling and saying, "Lin Tian, could we talk for a moment?" "This... We are just about to go eat!" Lin Tian hesitated, looking towards Bu Mengting. Shen Mengyi brushed her hair back and laughed, "Don''t worry, just a few words, it won''t take much of your time!" "Alright then," Lin Tian nodded and didn''t refuse any further. "Let''s go over there! It''s quieter and there are fewer people." Shen Mengyi walked ahead with Lin Tian following. They went to a quiet corner. Shen Mengyi halted and turned to look at Lin Tian, speaking slowly, "Well... you should be able to guess what I need to talk to you about, right?" Normally, Lin Tian would have already been smothering Shen Mengyi with kisses by now. But with Bu Mengting watching like a hawk not too far away, he didn''t dare step out of line. "It''s about Wang Hong, isn''t it?" Lin Tian nodded. Shen Mengyi let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "I never imagined Wang Lei would go to Principal Zhu to force you to treat Wang Hong. And you, you actually beat up the principal in his office!" "That''s just my temper! Stubborn as a mule, won''t budge when pulled but goes backward when pushed! If I''m not willing, even the Heavenly King can''t make me do it!" Lin Tian laughed. "I can see that!" Shen Mengyi glanced at Bu Mengting not far away, her eyes full of deep concern, and whispered, "I heard from Wang Lei that you hit Principal Zhu. He didn''t give you a hard time, did he?" "Didn''t you see the notice board downstairs at the administration building?" A hint of pride crossed Lin Tian''s face. "I had four classes this morning, back to back, no time to go to the administration building!" Shen Mengyi shook her head, then exclaimed in surprise, "You weren''t expelled, were you?" "If I had been expelled, could I still be standing here talking to you?" "Then what?" Lin Tian chuckled, boasting proudly, "An announcement was posted on the notice board of the administration building that I received a schoolwide commendation for my act of bravery!" "Act of bravery?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback. "That''s right!" Lin Tian nodded affirmatively and then briefly recounted the story Zhu Ziqiang had fabricated. "This act of bravery... is really unexpected," Shen Mengyi said after listening, surprised yet amused. After laughing, Shen Mengyi hesitated for a moment and then pondered, "I know you''re very upset with Wang Lei''s actions! But since you''ve already hit Wang Lei, and you even turned misfortune into a commendation, could you maybe stop holding a grudge against him?" "I can''t be bothered to hold a grudge against him!" Lin Tian said, pulling a face that showed he didn''t care. Hearing him say that, Shen Mengyi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Since you can''t be bothered to hold a grudge against him, could you help treat Wang Hong?" "No can do!" Lin Tian immediately shook his head in refusal without even thinking. "Why not?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback, looking at Lin Tian questioningly, "You just said you couldn''t be bothered to hold a grudge against Wang Lei, so why won''t you treat Wang Hong?" Lin Tian shook his head seriously, "It''s not that I won''t treat her, but the timing... the moment isn''t right yet, we need to wait a bit longer!" "What timing isn''t right? It''s clear to me that you just won''t do it!" Shen Mengyi said with a bitter smile, seeing through Lin Tian''s lie. "Alright, it''s true I won''t!" Lin Tian shrugged nonchalantly, "The Wang family doesn''t trust me at all. After I saved that kid, they only started to believe me, but even then, they did it through the principal ordering me around as if they were above me. It really annoyed me!" "But, Wang Hong is innocent, and she is really pitiful! Can''t you just have a heart and treat her?" Shen Mengyi argued. "Don''t worry! I will treat her, but it has to wait!" Lin Tian remained unmoved, reiterating his stance. The Wang family had been very overbearing at the hospital the day before yesterday, Especially the old Mr. Wang! It really rubbed Lin Tian the wrong way. Despite being annoyed, if Mr. Wang and Wang Lei had shown some humility and spoken soft words to him at that time, he naturally wouldn''t have cared anymore. But the Wang family did not do so! Worst of all, Wang Lei actually sought out Zhu Ziqiang, planning to use his power to compel Lin Tian to treat the illness under the principal''s orders. Wang Lei''s actions had directly provoked Lin Tian''s Nidhogg! Lin Tian had made up his mind not to treat Wang Hong easily, determined to make the Wang family pay for their arrogance and pride! "How long do we have to wait? Or rather, what exactly do you want from the Wang family?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Shen Mengyi realized that further persuasion was futile and began to inquire instead. "That''s hard to say!" Lin Tian gave an evasive response. Seeing Shen Mengyi appearing somewhat dissatisfied, Lin Tian comforted her with a laugh, "Don''t worry, this disease won''t cause any harm to Wang Hong''s body for the time being!" "What if it''s delayed too long?" Shen Mengyi immediately picked up on the hidden meaning in Lin Tian''s words. "That will definitely cause harm!" Lin Tian said gravely, seriously adding, "If it''s delayed too long, it will damage the Vitality, causing very serious harm to the body, and no amount of money will be able to cure it!" "Alright, I got it!" Shen Mengyi nodded helplessly, sighing deeply, "I will relay your words to Wang Lei exactly as you said them!" Lin Tian just shrugged and didn''t say a word. "Heartbreaker, your girlfriend is getting anxious over there!" Shen Mengyi glanced at Bu Mengting waiting not far away, kicked Lin Tian in the leg, and turned to leave. ... Lin Tian scampered back to Bu Mengting''s side. No sooner had he approached Bu Mengting than she started pinching his waist, "You said there was nothing between you two?" "Ow, take it easy... there really is nothing between me and her!" Lin Tian quickly pleaded. "You think I''m a three-year-old? If there really was nothing, why did she kick you?" Bu Mengting pouted, clearly not convinced. Without a shred of embarrassment, Lin Tian defended shamelessly, "It''s true! She wanted me to treat Wang Lei''s sister and I didn''t agree, so she got mad and kicked me!" Bu Mengting had already heard about the situation between Lin Tian and Wang Lei from yesterday, and she also knew about Wang Hong''s illness. Hearing Lin Tian''s explanation now, she quickly let go of her grip. Bu Mengting hesitated for a moment, then said sympathetically, "Why don''t you just treat Wang Hong?" Chapter 238 The Indestructible Cockroach! "I mean, you are my wife! How come you are now siding with my enemy?" Lin Tian couldn''t help but chuckle wryly upon hearing Bu Mengting''s words. Women, always so quick to overflow with sympathy! Even for an enemy! "Nonsense!" Bu Mengting glared at Lin Tian, pouted, and responded, "Wang Lei is Wang Lei, Wang Hong is Wang Hong! I just feel sympathy for Wang Hong." "But Wang Hong is Wang Lei''s sister!" Lin Tian countered. Bu Mengting proudly tilted her head up and sniffed, "So what if she''s his sister? The people who look down on you are from the Wang Family, the person who offended you is Wang Lei, what does that have to do with Wang Hong? Wang Hong is a patient, also a victim!" "Alright, you win!" Lin Tian laughed and nodded in agreement. "So, does that mean you agree to treat Wang Hong now?" A wave of joy immediately washed over Bu Mengting''s face. "Of course! My dear wife has spoken, I must agree!" Lin Tian nodded and quickly added, "But, we have to wait a bit longer." Bu Mengting, who was delighted, suddenly paused upon hearing the latter part of the statement. She hurriedly dropped her smile and glared at Lin Tian, asking indignantly, "What do you mean? If you agree to treat Wang Hong, why do we have to wait?" "This..." Lin Tian chuckled slyly, annoyingly saying, "The Wang Family''s people, who don''t trust me and prevent me from treating Wang Hong, are the ones who need to ask me now for her treatment. Otherwise, where do I put my pride?" Previously in front of Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian had spoken quite cryptically. Sear?h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was like taking ninety-nine turns! But now, facing Bu Mengting, he didn''t have so many reservations, and this little ulterior motive didn''t need to be hidden anymore. Say it straight out! Bu Mengting instantly understood! Lin Tian was seizing the opportunity to make the Wang Family grovel! To this, she naturally raised both hands in approval. She certainly needed to reclaim her boyfriend''s pride! But thinking about Wang Hong''s illness, Bu Mengting couldn''t help feeling hesitant again as she worried, "Won''t Wang Hong''s illness cause harm to her body if it continues to be delayed?" Typical of women, always unable to cure their soft-heartedness! Of course, Lin Tian was pleased with this. It showed compassion! As a man, Lin Tian naturally hoped his woman would be compassionate and loving, not a cold, heartless beauty indifferent to right and wrong! "Not at all!" Lin Tian laughed and shook his head confidently, "Although I despise the faces of the Wang Family, I won''t joke about Wang Hong''s body! I''ll definitely cure her before her condition worsens and harms her body." "That puts my mind at ease!" Bu Mengting immediately breathed a sigh of relief. ****** In the next two days, Wang Lei visited Lin Tian twice, hoping Lin Tian would help his sister Wang Hong. These two times, Wang Lei was very sincere! Wang Lei''s attitude was very humble, more ordinary than ordinary people, with no trace of an arrogant rich young man anymore. Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire But Lin Tian still didn''t agree! And Wang Lei, unsurprisingly, got beaten up twice more! When kicking someone out like a dog, and now wanting to ask them back for help, heh, you naturally have to offer satisfactory conditions. In the blink of an eye, it was Friday. After the third class in the afternoon, Lin Tian called Bu Mengting, and they agreed on a meeting place, planning to take the school bus back to town together. Wang Lei was like a persistent ghost, seeking out Lin Tian again! Speaking of which, this guy was really, really resilient and had a strong ability to withstand beatings. He had come three times in three days and had been beaten up each time! But it seemed he felt no pain, or maybe he really cared about his sister Wang Hong, for he dared to come looking for trouble again. "Tell me, how many times has this been now?" Lin Tian asked with a smirk. "The fourth time!" Wang Lei answered honestly. Having already been beaten up three times previously, Wang Lei was now fully prepared to take a beating, adopting an attitude of resigned courage. He couldn''t help it; his family''s old man had forced him to come! "It''s already the fourth time, huh!" Lin Tian remarked, stroking his chin. Wang Lei silently looked at Lin Tian and said nothing. Lin Tian shook his head and said teasingly, "I mean, you''ve sought me out four times in three days, getting beaten each time. Do you really think you''re indestructible like a cockroach?" "If you don''t agree to treat my sister''s illness, I''ll keep coming until you agree to help her!" Wang Lei said determinedly. "Beating you up all the time isn''t fun! This time, I won''t hit you¡­" Lin Tian said with a smile. Wang Lei first stared in surprise, then a flash of delight crossed his eyes, and he eagerly asked, "Does this mean you''ve agreed to treat my sister?" "Pfft, keep dreaming!" Lin Tian scoffed and sighed deeply, continuing somberly, "Beating you up all the time isn''t fun either! Go home. Even if you come a hundred more times, I won''t agree. Let the person who needs to come, come!" Having said that, Lin Tian left Wang Lei behind and boarded a minibus with Bu Mengting. Shortly after, several more people got on, and the minibus started. The minibus sped towards the city center, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting chatting and laughing. Soon, they brought up Wang Lei. Bu Mengting couldn''t help but try to persuade Lin Tian, "Lin Tian, it''s been three days, and you''ve already beaten that guy up three times. Surely, you''ve vented enough anger by now?" "That''s not enough, the time isn''t right yet!" Lin Tian said, laughing and shaking his head. "Not the right time? It''s been three days! When will it be the right time?" Bu Mengting asked with a wry smile, her face filled with helplessness. Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Well, of course, it''s when the right person comes to beg me!" "The right person? Who are you talking about?" Bu Mengting asked, puzzled. "Guess! It''s such an easy question, I believe you can guess!" Lin Tian teased. "Are you talking about Wang Lei''s grandfather?" Bu Mengting thought for about ten seconds before quickly coming up with the answer. "You truly are my clever little wife, spot on!" Lin Tian praised, flattering her. Bu Mengting smiled proudly, then her expression grew serious as she said, furrowing her brow, "You mean to have Wang Lei''s grandfather come to beg you? That''s not very nice to the old man, is it?" "There''s nothing wrong with it!" Lin Tian shrugged nonchalantly and replied dismissively, "Old men come in all types!" "An old man is an old man, what differences could there possibly be?" Bu Mengting asked, confused. Lin Tian nodded seriously and explained, "Of course there''s a difference! Some elders are easy-going and treat the younger generation with care, deserving respect and affection; but some elders take advantage of their age to bully others, which is extremely annoying." "This¡­" Bu Mengting paused, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "That makes sense! Those who take advantage of their age to cause trouble really are very annoy..." Clang! While Bu Mengting was speaking, the minibus suddenly jerked violently. Before Lin Tian could see what had happened, the driver''s anxious voice rang out, "The braking system is out of control! Everyone find something to hold on to..." Chapter 239 Ive Only Watched Videos for One Day! "Ah!" Upon hearing the driver''s anxious and urgent warning, a wave of fearful shrieks suddenly erupted in the carriage. Having the car go out of control is a very, very dangerous thing! If you''re lucky, it might result in a collision. Unluckily, it could even cause the vehicle to roll over. But whether it''s a collision or a rollover, it''s a nightmare for both the driver and passengers. Either dead or injured! At that moment, the out-of-control minivan was like a runaway wild horse, completely uncontrollable and hurtling across the road haphazardly. "What to do?" "Driver, can''t you brake?" "We''re doomed now!" The passengers in the vehicle had all turned pale with fright! The driver was even more terrified, as if he had lost his soul! The situation was very bad! The car couldn''t stop at all, and it happened to be rush hour after work. It was the peak traffic time, and a collision could lead to a series of accidents. "Lin Tian!" Bu Mengting clung to Lin Tian''s arm, her soul still unsettled. "No, we have to make the car stop!" Lin Tian pondered secretly, then signaled for Bu Mengting to let go of him and stood up, rushing directly toward the driver. Having just learned to drive online in the past two days, Lin Tian decided to give it a shot himself. It couldn''t be helped; this driver seemed very unreliable! Reaching the driver''s side, Lin Tian didn''t say a word and directly yanked the driver away, then sat down in the driver''s seat himself. The driver, suddenly pulled away, was shocked. Turning his head and realizing that Lin Tian was just a young kid, he couldn''t help but loudly complain, "Hey, what are you doing? Do you know how dangerous it is right now..." "Don''t shout!" Lin Tian roared without turning his head. Startled by Lin Tian''s formidable yell, the driver hurriedly shut up. Glancing at Lin Tian, the driver quickly found a place to hold on tight, thinking to himself, "Anyway, I''m completely powerless now. This guy is so arrogant, let him stir things up. Later, I''ll just put the blame on him!" "Watch out, we''re going to hit something!" Seeing the minivan about to crash into the rear of a bus, the driver couldn''t help but shout loudly. Hiss! Lin Tian suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. The minivan closely skirted the tail of the bus, slipping into the gap in the left lane, only scraping off a bit of paint and leaving a shallow scratch. Just as they made it into the gap in the left lane, a large truck was coming head-on. "It''s over! We''re definitely done for this time!" The driver''s heartbeat accelerated drastically, and he suddenly felt weak, slumping down in the cabin. "It''s over!" "We''re going to crash!" "We''re done for!" Apart from Bu Mengting, everyone else also started screaming loudly. But the outcome surprised everyone! Lin Tian forcefully steered to the right, and the minivan''s front end almost grazed the front of the large truck as they passed each other. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire "Phew!" Seeing the minivan narrowly avoid a collision with the large truck, all the passengers in the vehicle instantly let out a long sigh of relief. But no one relaxed! The minivan was still out of control; only by stopping could the danger be resolved. "Brother, hang in there!" "Our lives are in your hands now!" "Hold on, we''re all counting on you!" By this time, everyone in the vehicle was fixated on Lin Tian. Everyone had placed their hopes on Lin Tian, loudly cheering him on, hoping he could get them safely through the danger. And Lin Tian did not disappoint everyone! The minivan''s speed was unabated, yet it moved like a fish in water, weaving through the congested traffic, dodging and threading its way through. Each time, Lin Tian managed to narrowly avoid collision dangers. Several times, everyone thought for sure they were going to crash, but under his driving, they merely brushed past danger. Lin Tian maneuvered the minivan, continuing forward in tense excitement for three to four hundred meters. Finally, about ten meters ahead, there appeared a construction site next to the road with a mound of sand piled up like a small hill. "Phew!" Seeing the mound of sand, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without a doubt, this was a good place to stop! Without thinking, Lin Tian turned the steering wheel sharply, driving the minivan toward the mound of sand. Thud! The minivan plunged into the sand. Shortly after, due to the overload, the engine automatically shut down. "We''re finally safe!" Lin Tian exhaled, turned around, and flashed a smile at Bu Mengting, who sat on the seat stunned. "Lin Tian, you scared me to death just now!" Bu Mengting immediately rushed over and hugged Lin Tian. Lin Tian chuckled and patted her back, "Silly girl, what''s there to be afraid of? I''m here, I won''t let anything happen to you!" "Yes!" Bu Mengting nodded her head and followed Lin Tian out of the car. All the passengers in the vehicle also disembarked one after another. "Young man, your driving skills are incredible!" No sooner had they gotten out of the car than the minivan''s driver approached Lin Tian, excitedly praising him. "Hehe, not too bad!" Lin Tian said with a humble laugh. Though he sounded modest, there was an undeniable pride hidden in his smile. He had only learned how to drive online for two days, and today was his first actual practice. Astonishingly, he resolved the van''s uncontrollability. This could definitely be described as a miracle! "You are really amazing!" the van driver said, shaking his head and smiling, "You saw how dangerous the situation was just now. If it weren''t for you, we all would have been in great danger today!" Before Lin Tian could respond, the driver curiously asked, "By the way, with your driving skills so formidable, you must be a professional racer, right?" "A professional racer?" Lin Tian paused, then shook his head, "No! I just watched some videos online for a day, and today is my first time driving¡­" "What? You only watched videos for one day?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, the driver''s jaw dropped, his eyes widening in amazement. The other passengers were also stunned by Lin Tian''s answer! Just from watching videos online for one day! Today was his first time driving! Isn''t that incredible? Even a veteran driver with over a decade or two of experience might not have managed to come out unscathed in today''s situation. Lin Tian could see the shock in everyone''s eyes, which was mixed with some disbelief. He wasn''t surprised at this reaction. Touching his nose, he laughed and said, "It''s true! I just downloaded some videos the day before yesterday and spent the whole day yesterday watching them¡­" As Lin Tian reaffirmed this, without the slightest hint of deception, the crowd''s look toward Lin Tian was filled with even more shock and a bit of admiration, as if they were looking at a once-in-a-lifetime genius. "That''s just incredible!" "There really are geniuses in this world!" "I want to hit a wall!" After a burst of praise, everyone began to thank Lin Tian profusely. They had all clearly seen how the van driver reacted when the van lost control. It was extremely poor! If Lin Tian hadn''t taken decisive action and snatched the steering wheel from the driver''s hands, none of them would necessarily be standing here safely now. Of course, no one blamed the driver! After all, facing a runaway vehicle, no one could guarantee they could keep everyone safe; they could only do their best. But Lin Tian did it! This was like saving their lives, and they naturally wanted to express their gratitude! "Brother, thank you just now!" "Thank you so much, brother! If it weren''t for you, I really don''t know what would have happened!" "Thanks, Brother! I''m Xu Haifeng, the Vice-President of the student council at our school! If you ever need anything at school, just mention my name, and it will be taken care of!" "My name is Liu Mang! No nonsense! My mom is the deputy director of our city''s health bureau, if you need anything, just call me, brother!" In the midst of these verbose thank-yous, a few oddballs suddenly popped up! Is this gratitude or are they showing off? Lin Tian found it amusing but didn''t mind! He understood that they weren''t trying to show off, they just felt that mere words of thanks were too hollow, and planned to repay him with real actions in the future. So, he noted down their phone numbers with a smile. S~ea??h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It''s good to have more friends; you never know when they might come in handy. After expressing their thanks, everyone gradually left. Lin Tian, though enjoying the compliments and gratitude, feeling quite proud, did not linger long, and quickly left with Bu Mengting by taxi. "Lin Tian, did you really only watch videos online for one day?" On the taxi, Bu Mengting couldn''t help but ask Lin Tian about his video learning experience. "Of course!" Lin Tian replied with an air of pride. "I don''t believe it!" Bu Mengting pouted and huffed, "Driving isn''t like studying, it requires actual hands-on practice, how could you be so good on your first try!" "I''m a genius, and a genius is definitely not the same as an ordinary person!" In front of his girlfriend, Lin Tian never hid his awesomeness. "Praising yourself? You really are shameless!" "I''m just stating the facts!" Chatting and laughing, they eventually arrived at the entrance of their residential community. The two got out of the taxi, and Lin Tian paid the fare. Lin Tian went to his own home, Bu Mengting went to her uncle''s house. When Lin Tian got home, he walked around and found no one was there. "Handling that out-of-control van so smoothly today, I must have reached the required driving skills. I should find time to enroll in driving school!" Feeling bored alone, Lin Tian thought about getting his driving license. While mumbling about enrolling in a driving school, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit silly. He knew Director Zhong! This could totally be a matter for Director Zhong. It would be resolved in minutes, so why foolishly run off to enroll at a driving school? That''s just making trouble for myself! "Director Zhong, I have something I want to ask you¡­" Having made up his mind, Lin Tian called Director Zhong and explained the situation. "Oh, just handling the driving license? That''s simple!" Upon hearing him out, Director Zhong immediately agreed without hesitation, cheerfully saying, "Wait a moment, I''ll call Xiao Wu to get in touch with you. You just prepare the necessary documents and materials!" After hanging up, Lin Tian secretly sighed, "Indeed, it''s good to know people!" After sorting out the driving license matter, Lin Tian went to find Bu Mengting next door. Lin Tian peeked into her house using Clairvoyance and found it was empty. Planning to give Bu Mengting a "surprise" and scare her a bit, Lin Tian didn''t knock, quietly opened the door, and stealthily made his way in. Chapter 240 Isnt This Playing Dirty? After Lin Tian sneaked into the house, he looked around stealthily and, seeing no one, heard the sound of water flowing from the direction of the bathroom. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Hearing the sound of the water, Lin Tian instantly realized what was happening. Mengting was taking a shower! Although Lin Tian had been with Mengting for a while, he had never seen her showering, let alone shared a romantic bath with her. Today was such a good opportunity! Without a second thought, Lin Tian made up his mind. Think it, do it! Lin Tian reached out, twisted the doorknob, and found it surprisingly unlocked. Click! A soft sound, and the bathroom door opened. "Who?" Mengting was startled, quickly grabbed a towel to cover her bare body, and backed away while loudly asking. "Don''t be afraid, it''s me!" Lin Tian chuckled. Previously, because she was nervous and focused on covering her body, Mengting hadn''t looked closely. Now, hearing his voice, Mengting realized that it was Lin Tian standing at the doorway. Even though the couple had already broken those boundaries and were very familiar with each other''s bodies, Mengting had never been in this situation before. This made Mengting both shy and nervous! Clutching her towel, Mengting covered herself up tightly and glared at Lin Tian, spat out, "You big pervert! What are you doing here?" "Me? I came to give you a surprise!" Lin Tian grinned, leaning on the door frame, but not hurrying to enter. "What surprise? I think you''re just up to no good!" Mengting huffed, then curiously asked, "Strange! Wasn''t the outside door locked? How did you get in?" "Speaking of which, the front door wasn''t locked at all!" Lin Tian said emphatically. "It wasn''t locked? But I clearly remember locking it!" Mengting said, puzzled. "Then how do you think I got in?" Lin Tian pursed his lips, "Lucky it was me. If it had been some bad guy sneaking in, you would be unlucky!" "I think you are that bad guy?" Mengting''s face turned red, and she rolled her eyes at Lin Tian. "Hehe, I''m already here, so let''s do it together!" Lin Tian grinned mischievously, not caring whether Mengting agreed or not, he started undressing. "Don''t!" Mengting quickly cried out to stop him. "What? Still shy?" Lin Tian teased, winking at Mengting, "With our relationship, do we really need to be shy?" "No! Xiaomeng just got out of school, and she might be back soon. It wouldn''t be good if she saw us!" Mengting hurriedly explained. "Relax!" Lin Tian laughed, unconcerned, "I''m not doing anything else, just taking a quick shower together... it won''t take long..." Click, click! Just then, the sound of the door unlocking suddenly came from outside. Could it really be such a coincidence? Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat. "Someone''s back!" Lin Tian quickly whispered to Mengting, clumsily putting back on the T-shirt he had just taken off. While putting on his clothes, he hurriedly dashed into the living room. Slap! He plopped down on the sofa. After sitting down, Lin Tian crossed his legs, reached over to the coffee table for an apple from the fruit bowl, and started peeling it as if nothing was wrong. Click! With a soft sound, the door opened. Li Xiaomeng walked in listlessly. Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire Sneaking a glance at Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian couldn''t help but smirk bitterly to himself, muttering, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!" "Xiaomeng, got out of school?" Lin Tian greeted Li Xiaomeng proactively. "Brother-in-law!" Hearing the voice, Li Xiaomeng noticed Lin Tian sitting on the sofa and asked in confusion, "What are you doing at my house? Where''s my cousin?" Before Lin Tian could answer, Li Xiaomeng started looking around. Then, she heard the water running from the bathroom. Li Xiaomeng immediately understood, nodded with a giggle, and said, "I was wondering why you were sitting alone in the living room. My cousin is taking a shower..." As Li Xiaomeng spoke, Lin Tian sneakily glanced towards the bathroom. That glance immediately made Lin Tian feel awkward. The bathroom door wasn''t closed! Really not closed! Previously, when he heard the door open outside, he had instinctively rushed back to the living room. In his haste, he naturally forgot to close the bathroom door. And Mengting, probably too tense as well, had also forgotten about it. Anyway, the bathroom door wasn''t closed! At this moment, Lin Tian felt both embarrassed and anxious. "Xiaomeng, feeling thirsty? Have an apple!" In a rush, Lin Tian hurriedly handed over a half-peeled apple to Li Xiaomeng, hoping to divert her attention. However, Li Xiaomeng completely ignored him, just staring fixedly in the direction of the bathroom. Seeing this, Lin Tian silently withdrew his hand. He knew that what he had feared had happened! Li Xiaomeng had discovered it! "What''s going on? Why is the bathroom door not closed?" Li Xiaomeng said, then turned her head and looked at Lin Tian with a "murderous" expression. Lin Tian''s eyes rolled swiftly, and he immediately calmed down. Smiling at Li Xiaomeng, he explained, "Mengting had just forgotten to bring a change of clothes, I was helping her fetch them... probably forgot to close the door!" Slam! Lin Tian had just finished speaking when the bathroom door closed. Bu Mengting closed it! Li Xiaomeng glanced in the direction of the bathroom, turned her head back, and her gaze fell on Lin Tian''s face again as she snorted, "I think you need some disciplining, huh?" "What''s up? Xiaomeng? Who made you unhappy again?" Lin Tian said, somewhat guiltily. "Don''t you know?" Li Xiaomeng looked down condescendingly at Lin Tian sitting on the sofa, her expression one of "you can''t fool me." "How would I know! Tell me, Xiaomeng, you''re not suggesting the person who upset you is me, are you?" Lin Tian pretended to be calm and joked with a smile. "It is you!" Li Xiaomeng haughtily tilted her chin up. Pointing towards the bathroom, Li Xiaomeng pouted and said, "Do you think I''m a child? That easy to fool? I know all about what you were just doing!" Hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, Lin Tian was at a loss for words. Isn''t thirteen still a child? Lin Tian raised his hand and touched his nose, feigning ignorance, "What were we doing just now? Oh, you mean me bringing clothes to Mengting?" Slap! Li Xiaomeng directly kicked Lin Tian on the shin. Withdrawing her leg, Lin Xiaomeng stood with her hands on her hips and snorted coldly, "Still pretending! It''s been a few days since I last disciplined you, and now you dare to lie right to my face?" "I..." Lin Tian was about to adamantly deny everything when Li Xiaomeng tilted her chin up authoritatively and said, "Unless you want me to tell my parents, uncle Lin, and aunt Shi about this, you know what to do!" Frustrating! Dealing with this clever and peculiar girl really was headache-inducing! Lin Tian internally sighed helplessly! He shook his head and sighed, looking at Li Xiaomeng with hopeful eyes, "I''ll buy you two thousand bags of chips if you keep my secret! How about that?" "Two thousand bags of chips are too cheap! You have to agree to two conditions!" Li Xiaomeng shook her head, waving two fair fingers. "Alright, go ahead," Lin Tian said somewhat helplessly. "First: buy me two thousand, no, three thousand bags of chips!" Li Xiaomeng''s gaze locked onto Lin Tian''s eyes. "No problem!" Lin Tian nodded without hesitation. Buying two thousand bags of chips was the kind of childish demand he had acceded to many times under Li Xiaomeng''s "threats," so he was already used to it. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was no big deal for him! After all, he wasn''t short on money! "Second: teach me the magic to change into a blossoming peach tree!" Hearing this demand, Lin Tian instantly felt a headache. Creating a peach blossom was the effect of Time Powder! There was nothing to teach! And to obtain Time Powder, each use cost him a Supernatural Point! For him, Supernatural Points were extremely precious, and he could only acquire them by completing tasks from the system involving beauties. He didn''t want to waste them carelessly! "I can agree to anything else, but this peach blossom thing, I really can''t teach you!" Lin Tian said with a wry smile, shaking his head. "Why?" Li Xiaomeng asked curiously. Lin Tian straightened up, looking very serious as he bluffed, "Because it''s not actually magic, but a Superpower... um, it''s like the Devil Fruits in ''One Piece,'' only one person can possess it. You get it?" "I see!" Li Xiaomeng nodded in understanding, her eyes rolling around playfully before she said, "Well then, I''ll change my condition!" "Good, go ahead!" Seeing Li Xiaomeng was very straightforward, Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief. Li Xiaomeng giggled, winking as she said, "Then my second condition will be... that you agree to two more conditions!" "Ah? Isn''t that cheating?" Lin Tian immediately widened his eyes. "I see, you need more discipline, right?" Li Xiaomeng waved her little fist, pouting, "I asked you to teach me the magic of changing into a peach blossom because you couldn''t do it! Now you change the condition and claim I''m cheating, aren''t you going back on your word?" Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaomeng with a wry smile, his face full of frustration. This was definitely an endless loop! Could he agree to it? Chapter 241 Too much! "Decided yet? Do you want me to teach you the magic of turning into a peach blossom, or are you going to agree to two more conditions?" Seeing Lin Tian''s distressed look, Li Xiaomeng asked with a mischievous grin. Such harsh conditions, Lin Tian of course wouldn''t agree! If he really agreed, he would surely be eaten alive by this little girl in the future, endlessly threatened by her! He couldn''t agree, not even if his life depended on it! His eyes darting around, Lin Tian quickly came up with an idea. Flashing Li Xiaomeng a smile, he slowly began, "I have a proposal! Although I can''t teach you how to turn into a peach blossom, I can help you transform once when you need it. How does that sound?" "That sounds like a good suggestion!" Li Xiaomeng earnestly agreed, then quickly changed her tone, "But once is too little, at least a hundred times!" At least a hundred times? Upon hearing Li Xiaomeng''s words, Lin Tian almost crashed headfirst onto the sofa! Did she think she was picking cabbages on the street? Transforming once costs one Supernatural Point! A hundred times? He would go insane! Lin Tian, without even thinking, immediately shook his head and refused, "No way! I can only help you transform into a peach blossom once!" "Then¡­ fifty times!" Li Xiaomeng bargained, cutting it straight in half. "Only once!" Lin Tian gave no ground. "Twenty times!" "Once!" "Ten times!" "Once!" "Five times!" "Once!" Slap! Li Xiaomeng slammed her hand down on the coffee table. Lin Tian was startled, nearly biting his tongue, and looked at Li Xiaomeng puzzled, "What''s wrong with you? Why are you hitting the coffee table for no reason?" "I''ve dropped from a hundred to five times, and you haven''t budged an inch!" Li Xiaomeng stood hands on hips, glaring down at Lin Tian, "Who bargains like this?" Uh... it seemed a bit too much! But Supernatural Points are so precious, they really can''t be wasted rashly! Just give in a little bit, only a bit! Lin Tian looked at Li Xiaomeng, hesitated for a moment, and painfully said, "At most twice! If you don''t agree, you can go tell your parents about it!" Only twice? Though miserably few, it would barely do! S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Li Xiaomeng hesitated, saw Lin Tian''s "we might as well break up" demeanor, and nodded in agreement, "Well... okay! Two times then! I''m going back to my room to put away my backpack!" Having said that, Li Xiaomeng bounced back to her room. Accidentally, she had extorted two Supernatural Points from him! Two Supernatural Points, oh! This is really an everlasting regret from a single misstep! Watching Li Xiaomeng leave happily, Lin Tian''s face was full of bitterness as he thought to himself, "Looks like I''ll have to be more careful with this little girl from now on!" ****** The next day was the weekend, but Lin Tian didn''t sleep in. Days ago, he had already made plans with Bu Mengting and He Qianqian to go to the zoo together today. At seven in the morning, Lin Tian woke up. He lay in bed, didn''t even bother to dress, and reached for his smartphone on the bedside table to call He Qianqian. "Hey, Qianqian, are you up yet?" "Not yet..." a lazy voice came through the phone. "Still sleeping? Come on, get up! Didn''t we agree the day before yesterday to go to the zoo today, have you forgotten?" Lin Tian giggled. "Of course I remember, I just wanted to sleep a bit more," after a few words, He Qianqian woke up a bit and joked, "You know, beauty is created in sleep!" Beauty is created in sleep! Huh? Why does that sound a bit off? Lin Tian laughed and said, "That might be true for others! My Qianqian doesn''t need it because I have Anti-aging Water, which works a million times better than sleep!" "That''s also true! But, I still want to sleep a bit more!" "Yo, do you want me to enforce the family law then?" "What family law! You little pervert, always thinking unhealthy thoughts!" an annoyed coo came from He Qianqian over the phone. "A man''s not bad, a woman won''t love him!" Lin Tian cheekily teased. "You''re just a little man!" He Qianqian laughed, emphasizing the "little man" part. "Heh heh, small or not, you know the truth!" Lin Tian cheekily countered, and before He Qianqian could say anything else, he added, "Let''s not talk about this! Get up quickly, Mengting and I will come over and we''ll have breakfast together!" After hanging up on He Qianqian, Lin Tian made a call to Bu Mengting. As soon as the call connected, Lin Tian enthusiastically said, "Mengting, my little wife, are you up? If you''re not, I might have to enforce the family la-..." Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire "Keep it down, Li Xiaomeng is right next to me!" What was intended to be a series of sweet nothings was abruptly cut short by Bu Mengting, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, forcing Lin Tian to swallow his words back down. "Oh, then hurry up and get out of bed. We''ll go back and find Qianqian and have breakfast together!" After stating the purpose of the call plainly, Lin Tian hung up. He put down his phone and got out of bed to wash up. Five minutes later, Lin Tian had finished washing up and sat waiting in the living room. After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Bu Mengting sent a text message. Lin Tian hurriedly got up and quickly went to open the door. Bu Mengting stood charmingly at the doorstep. Lin Tian casually locked the door and cautiously looked across, curiously asking, "Aren''t you and Xiaomeng not in the same room? How come she''s by your side?" "Last night, she insisted on chatting with me. While talking, she fell asleep in my room!" Bu Mengting explained with a smile. "I didn''t wake her up when I called you just now, did I?" "No. She''s heavy on morning drowsiness; she''s sleeping sweetly right now!" Bu Mengting shook her head. "Then I''m relieved!" Lin Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After being hassled by Li Xiaomeng yesterday, he was somewhat fearful of the girl now. Today, he had planned to spend a three-person world with Bu Mengting and He Qianqian and really did not want a third wheel hanging around. ... Around 7:40, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting arrived at the morning market near City No. 2 School. He Qianqian had arrived a bit earlier than the two of them. Even though it was the weekend, at this time, the place was crowded with people having breakfast, with nearly every stand filled with customers. With so many people, seats were hard to come by. Being just a step slow meant losing a seat to someone else, and then you''d have to wait. Lin Tian and his friends waited a moment and finally spotted an available spot. The trio quickly sat down. Bu Mengting on the left, He Qianqian on the right, Lin Tian sat in the middle. After ordering breakfast, the three of them started to eat. First, Bu Mengting affectionately handed Lin Tian a bun, followed by He Qianqian tenderly peeling an egg for him, their affections clear for all to see. Soon, Lin Tian began to feel uncomfortable¡ªthe stares of everyone around him, almost like flashlights, were shooting towards him in an instant. Some were envious, some jealous, and others contemptuous! "He''s so plain-looking!" "Ah, two flowers stuck in cow dung!" "What a pity!" The murmur of voices, neither too loud nor too soft, made no effort to avoid Lin Tian. Lin Tian immediately realized he had incited public anger! With his ordinary looks and medium height of only 176 cm, he was nothing special. Yet he was with two stunning beauties, literally with one on each arm! A blatant show-off! Lin Tian scornfully curled his lips, muttering to himself, "Cut! My charm is something you lot couldn''t understand. Just go on being jealous. I''ll pretend I saw nothing!" As he turned his head casually, Lin Tian suddenly noticed something unusual. A refined-looking man was quietly reaching his hand into the purse of a woman who obviously looked like a city office worker, unaware of his actions. This man was a thief! Lin Tian immediately reacted and was about to stand up to intervene. "Miss, watch your bag!" Suddenly, a bespectacled youth dashed forward before Lin Tian, standing out to warn the woman. As he spoke, the bespectacled youth turned to the refined man, the thief, and snorted coldly, "Stealing in broad daylight?" At that moment, the thief was holding an iPhone, clearly having just stolen it and not yet hidden away. "Ah? My phone!" The woman, seeing her phone, paused for a moment and swiftly snatched it back from the thief''s hand. The thief remained incredibly calm, without any sign of nervousness. With an "unexpected" expression, the thief, looking at the bespectacled youth, "smiled wryly" and said, "Stealing? How could that be! I just found this phone on the ground..." "Nonsense!" The bespectacled youth abruptly cut the thief off. Pointing at the victim, the bespectacled youth declared confidently, "I clearly saw your hand going into this lady''s purse!" "Young man, you must be seeing things! I was by the side all along; this brother really did find it on the ground!" A woman in her thirties spoke up to defend the thief. "Yeah! Young man, you just want to impress this lady by fabricating some theft story, right?" Another man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, jumped out. "Ah, the moral decay these days! To woo a girl, he actually falsely accuses someone of theft!" A third person chimed in to criticize. No doubt, these people were all in it together! But these individuals jumping out first to publicly distort the truth and falsely accuse the bespectacled youth, had effectively embarrassed and discredited a well-meaning young man. Seeing the bespectacled youth turning red and unable to speak, those unaware bystanders immediately began murmuring. "It''s so shameful, falsely accusing someone!" "Yes, completely shameless! And here I thought he was a good person at first!" "Chasing a girl doesn''t need to go to such lengths!" "That''s too much!" Realizing his good intentions were misunderstood by everyone, the bespectacled youth became frantic, his voice rising as he argued, "You''re talking nonsense! This phone was definitely stolen by him; I saw him put his hand into this lady''s purse." He pointed at the girl and continued, "If you don''t believe it, you can come and check this lady''s purse; the zipper was clearly opened..." Chapter 242 Really Asking for a Beating! "Are you ever fucking done!" Without waiting for the bespectacled young man to finish, the thief suddenly erupted, loudly interrupting him, while his fist swung toward him. Smack! The thief''s fist landed heavily on the bespectacled young man''s face. The bespectacled young man''s body swayed; he stumbled and took three or four steps back, barely stabilizing himself. That punch was really fierce! Clasping his face, the bespectacled young man looked at the thief in disbelief and stuttered, "You dare hit me? You steal and yet dare to lay hands on someone?" "I think you''re asking for it!" Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire The thief swung his hand again, giving the bespectacled young man another hard punch. Smack! This punch landed on the bespectacled young man''s nose! Spurt! Two streams of blood slowly flowed down from the bespectacled young man''s nostrils. Glaring at the bespectacled young man, the thief''s face filled with "rage" as he snorted, "Just to curry favor with others, you repeatedly frame me. Don''t you have any shame?" "So shameless!" "Exposed and still desperately framing!" "Exactly, aren''t you embarrassed?" A series of disdainful accusations echoed around, all directing their arrows at the bespectacled young man. Needless to say, those loudest voices definitely belonged to the thief''s accomplices! Of course, there were also some spectators who, misled by the thief and his accomplices, cast disapproving and contemptuous glances at the bespectacled young man. "Who is really shameless? Who lacks any sense of decency?" the bespectacled young man glared at the thief, his chest heaving dramatically, practically steaming with rage. Kindly catching a thief, yet ending up as the target of public accusation! Is there no justice? Is there? The anger in the bespectacled young man''s heart surged rapidly! At this moment, he also fully realized that most of those speaking out were definitely accomplices of the thief. They smeared him deliberately to help the thief clear his name! The bespectacled young man, wiping a smear of blood from his nose, pointed at the thief and then swiped at a few who were shouting the loudest and yelled, "Don''t you think I know? You''re all in cahoots! All thieves!" Silence! Everything around fell quiet! So quiet, you could almost hear the pounding of everyone''s hearts! Not everyone is so easily fooled! In fact, when the thief first started to explain, many had already seen through the truth, understanding that what the bespectacled young man said was real. Yet, no one was willing to stand up and speak for the bespectacled young man. It''s not my fight, hang me out to dry! Especially after seeing a few people immediately jump out in support of the thief, several who were originally planning to come forward and vouch for the bespectacled young man also instantly backed down. They''re just ordinary people, no one is willing to endure the vengeance of the thief''s gang! Nor can anyone withstand it! At this moment, seeing that the bespectacled young man did not back down and publicly pointed out those defending voices as also being thieves, many secretly sweated for him. "Such an honest man!" "Just lacks social experience, too straightforward!" "Such a pity!" The thief and his accomplices couldn''t hear the thoughts of the crowd, but the bespectacled young man''s accusations effectively stripped them bare. Instantly, their faces changed! Angry! "Are you fucking tired of living? I speak some harsh truths and you dare frame me too?" The 27- or 28-year-old man cursed angrily and charged at the bespectacled young man. Smack! The man kicked the bespectacled young man hard. Thump! The bespectacled young man fell onto his buttocks on the ground, covering his stomach with his left hand, pointing at the man who kicked him with his right hand, his mouth trembling, unable to utter a word. "You accuse me of being a thief over and over again, if I don''t beat the shit out of you, I''m no man!" The thief cursed as he joined in, kicking and punching the bespectacled young man. No one around dared to make a sound to stop the beating of the bespectacled young man by the thief and his accomplice. Even the girl whose things were stolen didn''t dare to speak! She just stood there, pale-faced, biting her lips, too afraid to move, watching the bespectacled young man getting beaten. "Qianqian, call the police!" Seeing the bespectacled young man being beaten by the thief and his accomplice, Lin Tian couldn''t sit still any longer, turned his head and whispered to He Qianqian. After speaking, Lin Tian casually picked up a bun and smashed it forcefully at the thief. Smack! The bun hit the thief right on the nose. The thief staggered! He never expected someone would dare to throw something at him! Feeling two streams of warmth flowing from his nostrils, he reached out to touch it, and his half-palm was immediately stained red with blood. "Which motherfucker isn''t afraid to die? Who dares to throw something at me? Come out here right now!" The thief instantly flew into a rage, his sinister gaze searching through the crowd. And the accomplice who had been helping the thief beat the bespectacled young man also stopped. The two stood together, arrogantly surveying the crowd around them. "It''s me!" With a calm response, Lin Tian pushed through the onlookers and went straight up to the thief, his gaze icy as he stared at the two men. The crowd around who were just watching were amazed! No one expected that under these circumstances, someone would dare to stand up for the bespectacled young man and dare to throw something at the thief. All eyes on Lin Tian were filled with shock. But Lin Tian, as if nothing had happened, ignored the surprise and awe of the crowd, his gaze coldly fixed on the thief and a few of his accomplices. "Dare to throw something at me? Are you fucking tired of living?" As the thief cursed loudly, he lunged directly at Lin Tian. Lin Tian didn''t say a word, he just raised his hand and slapped him. Smack! The slap landed heavily on the thief''s face! The thief spun like a top, made two full turns, and fell on his butt. Covering his painfully smacked cheek, the thief looked at Lin Tian in disbelief, and exclaimed, "You... you dared to hit me?" "Being a thief is already annoying enough, and you curse like a sailor, you really deserved a beating!" Lin Tian glanced at the dazed thief and coldly dropped a remark. After speaking, Lin Tian turned his head and looked towards the thief''s accomplice. The accomplice couldn''t help but take a step back, looking at Lin Tian with a fierce but nervous expression and said, "What do you want to do? This has nothing to do with you, you better not..." "''Better not'' my ass! Maintaining social harmony is everyone''s responsibility!" Lin Tian scoffed disdainfully and suddenly shot a kick. Smack! Lin Tian kicked the accomplice in the stomach. Thump! S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The accomplice flew backward, crashing heavily three meters away. Lin Tian didn''t pay any more attention to the accomplice, his gaze sweeping through the crowd and landing on two other people who were supporting the thief, he scoffed, "Just because you outnumber others, you think you can twist the truth and falsely accuse people?" Lin Tian''s gaze was like two cold, gleaming swords, chilling to the bone. The two men hiding in the crowd unconsciously lowered their heads. They said nothing and quietly moved backward. "Trying to run now? In your dreams!" Lin Tian sneered, and his body suddenly burst into action, dashing swiftly into the crowd. Chapter 243 There are conditions! "Sanpao, stop lying there! Run!" Seeing Lin Tian charging towards the crowd to capture two other accomplices hidden among them, Heipi quickly called out to the one Lin Tian had kicked away. "Right, we need to run!" Sanpao was stunned for a moment before he held his belly, struggling to get up and prepare to flee. Today was a complete disaster! At the moment, preserving oneself was the most critical; escaping was paramount, and having someone to report back to the boss was essential. We must run! Having been in the game for several years, Sanpao understood this principle clearly. From the corner of his eye, Lin Tian noticed the movement of Heipi and Sanpao, and seeing their apparent intention to escape, he couldn''t help but sneer secretly. Just now, framing a good guy, hitting people so fiercely, so arrogantly! Now that the situation looks grim, they think of running? Too late! Lin Tian''s rush towards the crowd paused slightly, and he turned his head sharply and shouted fiercely, "Whoever dares to run, I will break his hands on the spot!" What''s most important to a thief? Naturally, it''s their hands! Every thief practices skills with their hands. If someone''s hands are crippled, even if the wounds heal, the agility will definitely not be as good as before, making it hard to continue in this line of work. Thinking about his future, Sanpao hesitated for a moment, then dared not make any sudden moves. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Heipi, however, turned a deaf ear to Lin Tian''s threat. Seeing Sanpao stop in his tracks again, Heipi was taken aback and once again urged him, "Sanpao, what are you dazing for? Run quick!" Having said that, Heipi dashed towards the crowd. In the opposite direction to Lin Tian! "Unaware of imminent death!" Seeing Heipi ignore his words and even attempting to escape, Lin Tian scoffed coldly, but his pace quickened. Whoosh! Lin Tian suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed one of Heipi''s accomplices. Turning his head to look at Heipi rushing towards the edge of the crowd, a slight smile appeared on Lin Tian''s face as he forcefully exerted pressure with his hand! He forcibly flung Heipi''s accomplice he''d just grabbed toward Heipi himself. Whoosh! The guy flew over the heads of the crowd like a human cannonball. Then, he crashed into Heipi''s back. Thud! The two men fell heavily to the ground. It was a hard fall, leaving them both dazed and confused. Especially Heipi, who was already hit hard enough, fell with his accomplice on top of him, almost causing him to pass out from the pain. "Dared to ignore my words, truly begging for death!" Lin Tian scoffed coldly and turned around, charging in another direction. Thud! Within three seconds, another figure was thrown into the crowd. Lin Tian walked slowly into the crowd, his face stern as he came up to Heipi, sneering, "You just said you wanted to run? Why aren''t you running now?" Having finished speaking, Lin Tian then stomped toward Heipi''s left hand. Crack! The sound of bone breaking echoed. "Ah!" A second later, Heipi let out a scream as distressing as the slaughter of a pig. Without a doubt, his left hand was thoroughly crippled by Lin Tian! But Lin Tian did not stop there; he raised his foot again. Crack! Another sound of breaking bone. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire "Ah!" Heipi let out another agonizing scream and then fainted. Needless to say, his right hand was also ruined! Gazing at the fainted Heipi, Lin Tian withdrew his foot, pursed his lips, and said, "I said before, whoever dares to run, I will cripple his hands! Since you took my words as wind past your ears, you must pay the price!" So domineering! The crowd around, watching the drama unfold, were all stunned by Lin Tian. Despite Lin Tian''s actions being somewhat cruel, not a single person felt sympathy for Heipi; in fact, everyone felt an inward cheer for Lin Tian. Unable to be heroes themselves, they yearned for someone who could step up! This is human nature! Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Lin Tian walked briskly over and helped up the bespectacled young man who had been beaten up by Heipi and Sanpao earlier. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Upon rising, the bespectacled young man quickly expressed his gratitude to Lin Tian. "No need for thanks! Maintaining social harmony is everyone''s responsibility!" Lin Tian said cheerfully with a wave, maintaining an unconcerned demeanor. At that moment, the girl who had been robbed approached. Clearly, she came over to thank them! "Thank you so much for just now!" The girl looked at Lin Tian and the bespectacled young man, her face filled with gratitude. "Don''t mention it! It was a small effort!" Lin Tian chuckled and accepted graciously. The girl turned to the bespectacled young man again, bowing deeply and apologetically saying, "I''m so sorry you got hit because of me! I was actually about to stand up and explain the situation, but seeing that the thief had accomplices, and they were so fierce, I just..." "No need to explain, I understand!" The bespectacled young man wiped his nosebleed, smiling, "As a girl, standing up wouldn''t have helped much. If those bad guys had targeted you because of it, you would have had more trouble later!" The girl, struck by the accuracy of the young man''s thoughts, shyly nodded. After a slight pause, the girl, with a blushing face, said, "Anyway, thank you! Also, I''ll take care of all your medical expenses!" "No need! It''s just a nosebleed, a minor injury, it''s nothing serious!" the bespectacled young man dismissively waved his hand. "How can that be? The kick you took earlier was not light; it''s still better to go to the hospital for a check-up!" the girl insisted. "It really is just a minor injury, no need for a hospital!" "You must go!" "No need!" "You must!" Watching the bespectacled young man and the girl''s "sweet talk," Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit exasperated. Is this what looking into each other''s eyes looks like? Does it have to be this fast? "Humph! Don''t be so smug, you''ll see what''s coming for you!" the lone woman among the thief''s accomplices suddenly snorted coldly. Lin Tian immediately snapped back to reality and turned his head. Glaring at the woman, Lin Tian coldly said, "What? Think I wouldn''t dare to hit you because you''re a woman? Let me tell you, I even frighten myself when I get angry!" Intimidated by Lin Tian''s fierce gaze, the woman unconsciously grew a bit fearful. She shrank back and dared not say another word! "Ouch!" Just then, the black-skinned thief, whose hands had been disabled by Lin Tian, weakly cried out as he gradually regained consciousness. He glanced at his twisted hands and his eyes nearly spewed fire. With his hands disabled, his life was essentially ruined! Furiously glowering at Lin Tian, the black-skinned thief shouted as if he were mad, "Bastard, you disabled my hands! Just wait and see, someone will teach you a lesson soon, and you''ll know what happens when you offend us..." "Someone will teach me a lesson soon? It looks like you still have other accomplices," Lin Tian said, pausing slightly and looking at the black-skinned thief with an almost smiling gaze. Suddenly, Lin Tian remembered a news story he had seen a few days ago. He instantly realized! The people like the black-skinned thief were the members of that brazen gang of thieves mentioned in the news, known for their frequent crimes in the city. With this in mind, Lin Tian''s smile faded, and his gaze swept coldly over the black-skinned man and his accomplices, he snorted, "Don''t worry, I''ll soon reunite all of you!" "Make way, please! Excuse me, everyone make way!" Accompanied by a sharp voice, several police officers parted the crowd and quickly approached. The leader was Chen Yixuan! Seeing Chen Yixuan, clad in a police uniform and looking dashing, Lin Tian''s lips unconsciously curved up in a faint smile. An old acquaintance, indeed! As the police appeared, the onlookers immediately dispersed. The scene was left with just the four thieves, Lin Tian, He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, the bespectacled young man and the girl whose phone had been stolen, and the newly arrived Chen Yixuan and other police officers. "Beauty, we meet again! It seems we''re really fated to bump into each other!" Seeing Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian cheerfully approached to greet her. "Is it you?" Chen Yixuan saw Lin Tian but was taken aback. "Of course, it''s me!" Lin Tian chuckled and pointed at the four thieves, saying, "I''ve caught all four thieves for you." Not mentioning the instances when Lin Tian had taken advantage of her, Chen Yixuan had interfaced with Lin Tian on several occasions and had come to a conclusion: Whenever Lin Tian was present at a crime scene, the criminals were definitely unlucky! Chen Yixuan swept her gaze over the four thieves and noticed that the black-skinned man''s palms were bloody and twisted out of shape. "Did you do this to his hands?" Chen Yixuan asked Lin Tian with a wry smile. "Correct!" Lin Tian nodded and explained with a chuckle, "This guy was caught stealing, and he teamed up with his accomplices to beat someone up, so I taught him a lesson!" "This lesson¡­" Chen Yixuan sighed softly and shook her head, her sentence trailing off and remaining unfinished. Then, she instructed her subordinates to handcuff and take away the four thieves. "What''s the matter? Do you think I went too far?" Seeing Chen Yixuan''s hesitant expression, Lin Tian asked with a smile. "No! Not at all!" Chen Yixuan shook her head and sighed, "There''s been this gang of thieves recently, very brazen, committing multiple crimes and even causing injuries. The higher-ups have repeatedly said that we need to quickly take down this gang..." As Chen Yixuan spoke, an electronic synthesized voice suddenly rang in Lin Tian''s mind, "Mission: Fulfill Chen Yixuan''s wish by capturing all members of the gang of thieves. Mission reward: Two Supernatural Points." A mission, it was a mission! Lin Tian hadn''t expected a mission to come his way at this moment. Earlier, when the black-skinned thief had threatened him, he had been considering discussing with Chen Yixuan about taking down the gang of thieves in one fell swoop. Now, the system had directly issued a mission. Not only could he wipe out the gang of thieves in one go, resolving future troubles, but he could also earn two Supernatural Points! This was indeed a windfall! Lin Tian was ecstatic. Pointing at the four thieves being loaded into the police van, he said to Chen Yixuan, "These four should be the members of that gang of thieves you were just talking about. Beauty, do you want me to help you find the others?" "Really? That would be great!" Hearing Lin Tian offer to help, Chen Yixuan instantly looked excited. Others might not know, but Chen Yixuan was well aware that although Lin Tian was rather lecherous and liked to take advantage of her, he was also very mysterious and quite magical. Chapter 244 I guarantee! "What are your conditions? Just name them!" Chen Yixuan was already used to Lin Tian''s slick talk and responded with a slight smile, posing as if ready to comply. Just name them? If only he really could name them freely! Lin Tian chuckled bitterly in his heart, with He Qianqian and Bu Mengting right beside him. With the two of them present, what conditions could he possibly suggest? If he did suggest anything, it would probably cause an uproar! Lin Tian waved his hand and said cheerily, "Then, let''s keep it as usual. Once we catch the other members of the thief gang, you''ll treat me to a grand feast! And I mean a real feast, not just street food!" "No problem!" Chen Yixuan smiled and nodded. Lin Tian didn''t waste any more words and went straight to the food stall where they had eaten before. Subsequently, he took out three one-yuan coins from his pocket, held them in his palm, and started muttering to himself, initiating the divination before tossing the coins onto the table. Clatter, clatter, clatter! The three coins spun rapidly on the table. Lin Tian stared intently at the spinning coins, not even blinking. A moment later, the coins stopped. S§×ar?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The moment the coins halted, a surge of information flooded into Lin Tian''s mind. Lin Tian grinned slightly and waved to Chen Yixuan, "Beauty, get some paper and a pen! I''ll write down the information about the other members of the thief gang for you!" Chen Yixuan turned and quickly fetched paper and a pen. Lin Tian took the paper and pen and scribbled furiously. After he finished, he handed the paper and pen back to Chen Yixuan. "What''s this about? Divination?" Chen Yixuan took the paper and pen, looking baffled at Lin Tian. "Yes! It''s divination!" Lin Tian nodded affirmatively. "You know how to do divination? You''re not just joking with me, are you?" Chen Yixuan was visibly surprised, her beautiful eyes piercing into Lin Tian as if trying to see right through him. "Do I look like I''m joking with you?" "Very much so! And I think you now, compared to those swindlers under the bridge, are like they were cast from the same mold!" Hearing Chen Yixuan''s words, Lin Tian almost collapsed onto the table. Very much so! Swindlers! Cast from the same mold! Lin Tian was extremely frustrated and extended his hand towards Chen Yixuan, "Since you don''t believe me, give it back to me. Pretend I never said anything, and you can go search on your own!" "Not giving it back!" Even though Chen Yixuan didn''t quite believe in divination, she quickly moved her hand behind her back, refusing to return it to Lin Tian. Having dealt with him multiple times, she knew well the mystique of Lin Tian. Although it sounded far-fetched, making it hard to believe, what if it were true? Then she would have missed the opportunity! An opportunity to catch all the members of the thief gang in one go! With her hand behind her back, Chen Yixuan faced Lin Tian and pressed, "Are you sure this can lead us to the other members of the thief gang?" "One hundred percent sure!" Lin Tian nodded, pointed at Chen Yixuan''s hand hidden behind her, and said confidently, "Just follow the information I wrote on the paper to nab them, and not one will slip through the net!" Before Chen Yixuan could reply, Lin Tian added, "If you still have doubts, I suggest you call Director Zhong. He will tell you what to do!" "Back to Director Zhong? He''s already been promoted, now he''s Minister Zhong!" Chen Yixuan pouted, pointing out Lin Tian''s mistake. "I know! I''m just used to calling him Director Zhong," Lin Tian replied nonchalantly with a smile. After saying that, Lin Tian signaled to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting to leave. They had only walked a few steps when Lin Tian suddenly stopped. Turning his head to look at Chen Yixuan, who was making a phone call, Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Oh, and a reminder! When you go to make the arrests, make sure you have enough people there to prevent anyone from escaping!" "No need for your reminder!" Chen Yixuan waved her hand impatiently. Both sides hurt! He Qianqian and Bu Mengting both acted at the same time, each pinching one of his sides. They had wanted to pinch Lin Tian ever since he began his slick talk with Chen Yixuan, but they had refrained from doing so in front of her. Now, they no longer needed to hold back! Indeed, He Qianqian and Bu Mengting simultaneously ceased their actions. Grinding her teeth, Bu Mengting harshly said, "You philanderer! Spill it, what''s the unspeakable relationship you have with that police officer?" "Absolutely none!" Lin Tian quickly denied, shaking his head like a rattle drum. Of course, he was blatantly lying. He did fancy Chen Yixuan a bit and had even taken advantage of her more than once. But now, in front of He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, he had to vehemently deny it! Previously, Lin Tian had dedicated a great deal of effort to win over both women, finally achieving his dream of having them both, and he couldn''t risk messing up now! If he was going to mess up, it had to be behind their backs! It must be behind their backs! "No?" Bu Mengting snorted coldly, her face full of disbelief as she pouted, "If there''s no relationship, why would you go out of your way to help catch thieves for her?" "I just want to maintain social harmony!" Lin Tian replied with a bitter smile. Before Bu Mengting could rebut, Lin Tian continued, "You all saw just now how arrogant these thieves were, right? Caught stealing and they even fought back, openly assaulting people! If we let them go on like this, who knows what will happen!" "That''s true! These thieves are indeed detestable, utterly lawless!" Bu Mengting nodded vigorously in agreement. "Exactly!" Lin Tian nodded, speaking with righteous indignation, "If we don''t bring them to justice, who knows, one day they might target you too! We must catch them all!" Saying this, Lin Tian reached for He Qianqian''s waist and pleaded with a flattering face, "Big wife Qianqian, you agree, don''t you?" "Yes!" He Qianqian nodded emphatically. At that moment, a taxi with its vacancy light on drove by. Lin Tian quickly hailed it and said with a smile to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, "The taxi''s here! Let''s not stand around and waste time, let''s head to the zoo early!" The two women nodded and got into the car together. Upon entering the taxi, Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally made it through safely! He was almost dead tired! However, Lin Tian''s celebration was a bit premature! The matter wasn''t over yet! Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire No sooner had the taxi started moving than He Qianqian, half-smiling, said, "But I heard you telling that officer ''just like before''. What did you mean by that?" "Yeah! Come clean, do you often meet up?" Bu Mengting, like a little lioness, reached for Lin Tian''s waist again. Since clarifying their relationship with Lin Tian, He Qianqian and Bu Mengting had resigned themselves to the situation. They both liked Lin Tian very much and had accepted each other''s presence. But women, no matter how open-minded, have their limits! They had agreed to the trio relationship, but they didn''t want anyone else joining! So they were on high alert! "You''ve got it all wrong! Listen to me, it was like this..." Lin Tian, having no choice, had to "honestly" explain the situation between him and Chen Yixuan to the two women. Like catching a Class-A wanted criminal or cracking down on a human trafficking ring, and so on, he detailed everything after a bit of embellishment. But there were many things he didn''t mention at all! He would rather die than mention them! Thus, amidst Lin Tian''s emotive recounting, a hero who repeatedly helped the police solve significant cases without seeking any return was instantly born. After Lin Tian finished talking, they had arrived at the zoo! The three got out of the car, and Lin Tian paid the fare. Bu Mengting puffed her cheeks, playfully punched Lin Tian, and cooed, "This time it''s okay! Next time, if that Officer Chen needs your help, you have to tell me and Sister Qianqian in advance, and only proceed if we agree!" "Okay, I promise!" Lin Tian agreed without hesitation. Just a bit of prior reporting, right? No big deal! As long as they don''t forbid his contact with Chen Yixuan, there would always be opportunities in the future! Lin Tian felt incredibly smug, holding He Qianqian''s hand with his left and Bu Mengting''s with his right, as they all cheerfully entered the zoo. Speaking of the zoo, Lin Tian had been here a few times before. But back then, Lin Tian had always come with his family. Bringing girlfriends was a first for Lin Tian. And it was one-to-two at that! Most men, you could say nine out of ten, dream of being surrounded by women, enjoying everyone''s favor. But enjoying everyone''s favor is not easy! Leaving other things aside, mainly facing other people''s strange looks is a challenge. Upon entering the zoo, Lin Tian found himself the center of attention! Eager eyes all around shot glances at Lin Tian, filled with envy, jealousy, and even disdain from moral guardians. If looks could kill, Lin Tian would have been reduced to mince. Fortunately, Lin Tian had a thick skin, and both He Qianqian and Bu Mengting had grown accustomed to being watched, so they still had a lot of fun. They walked and played along the way. Stopping and snapping plenty of photos. "It''s been a long time since I''ve had as much fun as today!" Leaning on the railing, watching the zebras leisurely within the enclosure, He Qianqian suddenly laughed and remarked sentimentally. Happiness doesn''t depend on what you do or where you are! It depends on who you''re with! Lin Tian cheerfully handed her a drink, winked at He Qianqian, and said in a teasing tone, "A long time? How long? Weren''t you happy last Saturday?" "Last Saturday?" He Qianqian was momentarily stunned. Immediately after, she remembered that day they had been at a small inn outside Wu''an University, engaging in a playful threesome, wildly oblivious to their surroundings. Remembering this, a blush crept over He Qianqian''s face. She pinched Lin Tian irritably and spat, "You little pervert! Never learning good things, always thinking about all sorts of nonsense!" Chapter 245 Run, Girl! "How is this called not learning well?" Lin Tian argued indignantly, "Confucius said: ''Food and sex are human nature!'' Even Confucius couldn''t avoid vulgarity, so how can I, such a common person, avoid it?" "You''re just talking nonsense! You got not only the meaning wrong but also the source!" He Qianqian laughed. "I got it wrong?" Lin Tian was taken aback. "Wrong!" "Really?" He Qianqian nodded and explained with a smile, "This quote is from Zi Gao! ''Food'' refers to likes; ''sex'' refers to beauty. It means that liking beautiful things is natural." After hearing He Qianqian''s explanation, Lin Tian was immensely embarrassed. He had gotten both the meaning and the author wrong! This mistake was truly embarrassing! "Claiming to be a top scorer in college entrance exam, yet you got this wrong!" Bu Mengting teased with a smile. Lin Tian felt very awkward, touching his nose and looking around. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into! Seeing something fun not too far away, Lin Tian quickly pointed in that direction and said to change the subject, "There''s an elephant-riding experience over there, let''s go play!" The elephant-riding experience was a new attraction that the zoo had just opened. Lin Tian had suggested to come to the zoo with He Qianqian and Bu Mengting precisely because he had heard about this new attraction from his dorm mate Feng Jiabao and wanted to bring them for the experience. "Elephant riding? Hurry up! Let''s go check it out!" Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting immediately became interested and started running towards it, dragging both He Qianqian and Lin Tian with her. "Why are you running so fast? No one''s going to snatch it from you!" He Qianqian said with a wry smile. Bu Mengting cutely stuck out her tongue, and said somewhat sheepishly, "I know no one''s going to snatch it! But I just want to ride the elephant sooner!" "You really like riding elephants that much? When we have a long vacation, I''ll take you to Thailand! We''ll have plenty of fun!" Lin Tian laughed. "That''s a promise!" As they spoke, the three arrived at the elephant riding experience area. There were indeed quite a few people wanting to ride the elephants. After paying, even then, they had to queue! Lin Tian paid, got a number ticket, and led He Qianqian and Bu Mengting to the waiting area, chatting while they waited. It wasn''t long before their number was called. A majestic-looking elephant, on command from the staff with specific hand signals, knelt down like a docile kitten. With guidance from the staff, the three of them took their seats on the soft couch on the elephant''s back. "Wow! This is amazing!" No sooner had the elephant stood up than Bu Mengting couldn''t help but raise her hands high, waving them vigorously and cheering loudly. The staff beside them were startled and quickly gestured to her to be quiet. "What, I can''t cheer?" Bu Mengting asked, curious. The staff quickly explained, "Loud cheers might startle the elephant. If the elephant gets frightened, the consequences would be unimaginable!" These weren''t empty words! Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. An adult male Asian elephant weighs at least around 4,500 to 5,000 kilograms. With its tremendous weight and huge size, should it go berserk, a single stomp could turn a living human into a mushy pulp in an instant. "I got it!" After hearing the staff''s explanation, Bu Mengting gave an embarrassed smile and obediently put down her hands. Even though they couldn''t cheer, Lin Tian and his friends still had a great time. After all, they had only ever seen elephants before and had never ridden one, so today was a first, naturally feeling both fresh and curious. However, things always turn out unexpectedly! As Lin Tian and his friends were having a great time, an elephant nearby, for some unknown reason, got frightened and went berserk! Thump thump thump! The rampaging elephant''s footsteps on the ground were like an earthquake. Everyone in the experience area was dumbfounded! The tourists scrambled to take cover, afraid that if they were careless, they would become souls under the huge elephant''s iron feet. Even if they weren''t stepped on, a poke from the tusks was unbearable. It would undoubtedly be a through-and-through chilling pierce by the tusk! Everyone was running for their lives. But there were exceptions! A girl around seventeen or eighteen years old, probably petrified by the rampaging elephant, was just standing there dazed, not moving an inch. Thump thump thump! The crazed elephant, with its long tusks, was charging towards the girl. "Hey, run!" "Get out of the way, child!" "Run!" People nearby couldn''t help but yell at the girl. But the girl seemed as if she didn''t hear them at all. Still stupidly standing there unmoved! "Oh no! There''s going to be trouble!" Seeing this, Lin Tian''s heart skipped a beat, and he leaped down from the elephant he was riding. "Lin Tian, don''t go! It''s too dangerous!" Bu Mengting urgently tried to stop him. He Qianqian also followed, shouting, "Don''t go! It''s too late!" "Don''t worry, I won''t get hurt!" Lin Tian didn''t look back as he threw out a sentence, his whole body as fast as lightning, sprinting toward the dazed girl. Five meters! Three meters! One meter! Just as the elephant''s tusk was about to reach the girl, Lin Tian, like an arrow released from a bow, threw himself forward, embracing the girl and narrowly avoiding the gut-wrenching danger. The two of them took advantage of the momentum to roll on the spot, rolling to a distance of five or six meters! Lin Tian slowly exhaled a breath. But he did not relax! A distance of five or six meters¡ªthe elephant could charge over in just a few steps; it was only a temporary escape from danger, not at all safe. "This won''t do! If this elephant is allowed to rampage, someone will inevitably be unable to dodge in time! I must stop it!" Lin Tian pondered in his heart, then let go of the girl and charged towards the elephant. Seeing the girl rescued by Lin Tian, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. But in the blink of an eye, they all saw Lin Tian rush towards the elephant. At this sight, everyone was stunned! "What''s happening?" "Has that young man gone crazy?" "Is he seeking death?" All the onlookers couldn''t bear to watch any longer and closed their eyes. To dare rush towards an elephant with bare hands? That was simply courting death! At this moment, the only thought in Lin Tian''s mind was to stop the rampaging elephant; he had no time to pay attention to his surroundings nor the leisure to do so. Whoosh! Lin Tian sprinted to the back of the elephant and reached out his hand as fast as lightning. The elephant''s tail landed in Lin Tian''s hand. Immediately after, Lin Tian moved to the right rear of the elephant, grabbed the elephant''s tail with both hands, and with all his might, yanked it fiercely. Thump! The elephant fell heavily to the ground, kicking up dust. Hearing the sound, everyone simultaneously opened their eyes. Again, they were dumbfounded by what they saw! To take down an elephant with bare hands? Is this even humanly possible? Just then, a staff member nearby suddenly shouted, "Young man, please hold on for another half a minute, the tranquilizer gun is almost here!" Hold on for another half a minute? Hold on for half a minute? Half a minute? Instantly, Lin Tian felt an urge to drag that guy over and throw him under the elephant''s feet to be trampled mercilessly. Hold on my ass! Do you think I am Salted Egg Superman or Superman? This is an elephant, not a chicken! Despite being extremely irritated, Lin Tian did not protest, but simply stood vigilantly next to the elephant, ready to take it down again at any moment. The elephant struggled to get up a few times but was about to stand upright again. Lin Tian did not dare to take it lightly and decisively made his move once again! Thump! The elephant fell once more, stirring up dust. But this time, the elephant had learned its lesson and kept its tail flailing wildly, giving Lin Tian no chance to grab it again. Just then, the voice of that annoying staff member rang out again, "Young man, the tranquilizer gun is here! You''d better move away quickly!" Without a word, Lin Tian quickly picked up the girl and retreated to a safe distance. Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Three tranquilizer darts hit the elephant without fail. The dosage of the tranquilizer must have been large! After being hit, the elephant began to sway around twenty seconds later, struggling weakly for a while before collapsing. Thump! A cloud of dust rose from the ground. The shouting staff member rushed to Lin Tian''s side first thing, excitedly grabbed his hand, and shook it vigorously, "Young man, I''m really grateful to you! If it weren''t for you, there would have been casualties today..." "No need to thank me!" Lin Tian said with a wry smile, shaking his head as he struggled to free his hand. "But I must thank you!" That guy, as if he had practiced joint locks, once again grabbed Lin Tian''s hand accurately and shook it vigorously, "Young man, you are really amazing. I''ve never seen anyone take down an elephant with their bare hands before..." Take down my ass! Lin Tian immediately felt an urge to give the guy a thorough thrashing. And he knew if he let this staff member go on, he would definitely make the headlines in Wu''an news tomorrow and become the center of attention. He had to get away quickly! "Please! I don''t want to be in the headlines tomorrow, nor do I want to be the center of attention!" Lin Tian said helplessly, shaking his head as he pulled away his hand and turned to leave. The staff member was taken aback for a moment before chasing after him, "Young man, can you leave some contact information? Later our leader will personally come to thank you..." "I''ve already said, no thanks! I just hope you don''t let something like today happen again!" Lin Tian waved his hand, intending to leave the experience area. "Lin Tian, are you hurt?" He Qianqian came to Lin Tian''s side. Without caring about the others nearby, she anxiously grabbed Lin Tian''s hand and looked him up and down, bombarding him with questions. "You idiot! Always showing off!" Bu Mengting stepped forward and gave Lin Tian a punch, her eyes red as she said, "What would Qianqian and I do if you got hurt?" "All right, I won''t worry you again in the future!" Lin Tian said with a smile, sweeping his hand around, "Let''s go! There are quite a few people watching us here!" At that moment, the girl Lin Tian had saved approached. Looking at Lin Tian, the girl gratefully said, "My name is Zhang Ya! Thank you for saving me just now! If it hadn''t been for you, by now I surely would have..." "No need to thank me!" Lin Tian waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Ya, and smiled, "But remember, next time you''re in danger, make sure to run away; don''t be foolish and stand there frozen!" Having said this, Lin Tian turned around and left, taking He Qianqian and Bu Mengting with him. Chapter 246 Enchanted by You "Hey, wait up!" Just as Lin Tian was about to leave with the two girls in his arms, Zhang Ya became anxious and ran in front of the trio, shouting loudly. The trio of Lin Tian were all somewhat baffled. "Do you still need something?" "I, I want to be your girlfriend!" Suddenly, his waist was struck, and this time it really hurt. Zhang Ya, although you are very beautiful, as you can see, I already have two wives. I can''t be your boyfriend anymore." Enduring the pain in his waist, Lin Tian tried hard to bear it, squeezing a blissful smile on his face, hugging both He Qianqian and Bu Mengting in his arms. The two girls snorted coldly and gave Lin Tian a glance! "What? They''re both your wives?" Watching the trio''s actions, Zhang Ya''s eyes widened. "Yes. Sorry, we have other things to do and we must leave." Lin Tian, holding onto his wives, passed by Zhang Ya. She watched their retreating figures, feeling frustrated and clenching her fists tightly: "Lin Tian, I won''t give up, I must be your girlfriend. You... belong only to me!" ... sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Lin Tian, you really have some charm, buddy." "Exactly, even that young girl is charmed by you." He Qianqian and Bu Mengting both said sourly. "Of course, if I, Lin Tian, didn''t have any charm, how could you two have fallen for me?" "Get over yourself!" The two women said in unison, Lin Tian, watching the two women getting jealous over him, felt extremely proud and suddenly had a thrilling idea. "My dearest wives, there was a bit of a situation at the zoo and we didn''t really have fun. How about we go for a stroll in the park?" "Sounds good, let''s clear our minds." "Then let''s go." The park was quieter than the zoo, and Lin Tian deliberately led He Qianqian and Bu Mengting to a less crowded area. "Come this way, look how nice the scenery is here." Lin Tian brought He Qianqian and Bu Mengting to a deserted pavilion and sat down with both women inside. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire "What scenery?" He Qianqian actually wanted to go take photos by the stone sculptures, but it was too crowded over there. "It''s so boring here, why not let''s go boating instead?" "My beloved wives, there''s nobody here. How about we play some adult games?" "Hey, you little rascal, this is a park, don''t mess around." He Qianqian''s cheeks reddened as she held back Lin Tian''s wandering hands while Bu Mengting also restrained his hands. "Lin Tian, behave yourself. We haven''t even fully dealt with the issue with the female cop, and now there''s Zhang Ya. I see you, always getting distracted by pretty ladies." "Isn''t this just the perfect opportunity to apologize to my precious wives? Look at the charming scenery, the sky as our cover and the earth as our bed. Let''s really relax." "You scumbag, there are so many people around; aren''t you ashamed? Mengting, quickly pull this rascal away." He Qianqian pushed hard against Lin Tian with both hands, Bu Mengting also came to help. If Lin Tian really intended to force the issue, not even twenty more women could stop him. However, he didn''t want to coerce the two women, just take the opportunity to take advantage. "You little rascal, let go, someone is coming." "Qianqian, who are you trying to fool?" Lin Tian didn''t believe it at first, but then Bu Mengting slapped his head and Lin Tian turned to see someone really was coming. "What a buzzkill!" As someone approached, Lin Tian naturally stopped; otherwise, fooling around with the two women would only benefit the spectators. "Wow, lucky guy, you''ve got two beautiful women today!" Five men approached, all bald, each with tattoos on their heads, clearly looking like trouble. The lead bald guy, the most muscular, couldn''t take his eyes off He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. "Hey beautiful, coming to the park for fun?" The muscular bald guy grinned and sidled up to Bu Mengting, the other four immediately encircled the pavilion. "Lin Tian, I''m really not having fun here, let''s go boating." Bu Mengting leaned disgustingly close to Lin Tian, who cooperatively wrapped his arm around her slim waist and spoke assertively. "Buddy, no matter how beautiful the lady is, she''s my woman." "Oh? So, she''s your woman, huh? Alright then." The bald guy seemed easygoing and moved to another side, approaching He Qianqian. "This beauty, always being a third wheel isn''t fun. How about I keep you company and we talk about life?" Who could have known He Qianqian would just roll her eyes at him, then turn and hug Lin Tian. "Sorry, buddy. This lady is mine as well." Watching Lin Tian confidently hug one beauty in each arm, the muscular bald guy''s expression hardened. "You da****** dare to make a fool of me? With that small frame of yours, managing one woman is already good enough. Be smart and hand over one to let the brothers have some fun, otherwise, I''m taking both women today." As the muscular bald guy spoke, the other four baldies stepped forward, blocking the retreat pathway of Lin Tian and his group. The few bald men looked menacing, yet the trio of Lin Tian seemed unconcerned. "Lin Tian, if you get rid of these thugs, I''ll reward you later." These men disgusted He Qianqian! Not to be outdone, Bu Mengting, hanging onto Lin Tian''s arm, acted coquettishly. "If you do it well, I''ll reward you too." Reward? What kind of reward? Lin Tian immediately became excited, secretly thinking about the good times ahead while his eyes were fixed on the muscular bald guy. "Did you hear that? My wives want me to take care of you. Are you guys going to leave on your own, or shall I make you?" Chapter 247 Riding a Bicycle "Kid, what are you talking about? You want to fight until we roll? It''s ridiculous, guys, let''s go. Get rid of this kid, and these two women will be ours." The burly bald man shouted, and several bald men rushed up at the same time. Lin Tian, holding the two women, seemed petrified. But when the burly bald man charged up close, he suddenly kicked, sending the burly bald man flying out of the pavilion. Seeing this, the other bald men immediately dared not advance. What a joke, with the burly bald man''s physique, if not three hundred pounds, it must have been at least two hundred fifty pounds. But this kid, sitting still and casually kicking the burly bald man out of the pavilion, what kind of strength was that? "What are you dazing at? Am I asking you to roll or are you rolling on your own?" "We''ll roll on our own!" The bald men were quite perceptive, knowing they were no match, and immediately treated Lin Tian with respect. They turned and were ready to leave! "Stop! I told you to roll, not to walk away! What, can''t you understand Chinese now?" Upon hearing this, the bald men were immediately furious, but remembering Lin Tian''s terrifying strength, they still cowered. One by one, they lay on the ground and slowly rolled out. "Haha, these people are really funny!" Bu Mengting giggled non-stop, with Lin Tian around, indeed no one could bully her. "Hahaha, big and small wives have returned, let''s go home!" S~ea??h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The small boat had just reached the shore when He Qianqian received a phone call. "Lin Tian, you play with Mengting, I need to go back to school for a while." "Qianqian, big wife, what''s happened?" "It''s nothing serious, just a meeting. You guys have fun, I''m heading back." After saying that, He Qianqian left. "Big bad wolf, what naughty thoughts are you having now?" "Let''s not play anymore, shall we go home and play?" "What are you looking at behind me?" "Go to hell, you! Hey, there''s a tandem bicycle ahead. Let''s rent one and ride it!" Since going to university, Lin Tian hadn''t ridden a bicycle for a long time. Seeing these bicycles made him recall the days when he used to ride to school with Bu Mengting on the back. "Sure, but let''s ride the singles, yeah? I''ll carry you, just like before." "No, let''s ride the tandem. When we ride single, you always try to take advantage of me." Bu Mengting didn''t fall for it, Lin Tian always found a way to be fresh with her whenever he carried her on the bicycle. Lin Tian chuckled. "Mengting, little wife, I''ve taken all the advantages I could from you. Do I really need to ride a bicycle to do that? I carry you so you won''t get tired." "I don''t care, I want to ride a tandem." Although Bu Mengting felt sweet inside hearing Lin Tian didn''t want her to get tired, today she wanted to experience riding a tandem bicycle. That feeling of two people collaborating felt just like a married couple living life, and Bu Mengting really wanted to experience it. "Okay, okay. Then let''s ride the tandem. Who am I to refuse the one I love so much." Soon after completing the rental procedures, the two climbed onto the bicycle. Lin Tian in front, Bu Mengting at the back. "Lin Tian, can you handle it? Should I go in front?" "What do you mean, can I handle it? It''s clearly you who can''t keep up with my pace, okay? Focus, listen to my command, let''s put in effort together." The two were riding a tandem bicycle for the first time, wobbling along the way which looked quite dangerous. "Beep beep!" Just then, a loud honking sound suddenly came. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire A pure white BMW car pulled up next to them, driving at a well-controlled speed, matching pace next to Lin Tian and Bu Mengting. "Hey! Beauty. What''s so good about riding a bicycle? Come on my BMW, let me take you for a spin!" Zhou Wu hadn''t expected to bump into such a top-notch beauty today. As for Lin Tian in front, Zhou Wu simply ignored him, his eyes fixed on Bu Mengting. "What''s the fun in riding in a BMW? Sitting in a car, you don''t get to feel any wind at all. Riding a bicycle, that''s what I call taking a spin." Bu Mengting didn''t even glance at Zhou Wu, dismissively saying a word. These days, are there still women who wouldn''t smile in a BMW but would rather cry on a bicycle? Zhou Wu thought there must have been a problem with the way he spoke earlier, so he focused his attention on Lin Tian, the man in front. "Hey, brother! With such a top-notch beauty, how can you be riding a bicycle?" Chapter 248 Racing Cars "What''s wrong with a bicycle?" Lin Tian glared at Zhou Wu, instantly seeing him as a good-for-nothing rich kid. Relying on his parents'' money, he looked down on everyone else. What''s wrong with a bicycle? Zhou Wu was left a bit speechless by Lin Tian''s question. "You say what''s wrong with a bicycle? No matter how fast your lousy bicycle goes, can it be faster than my BMW?" Zhou Wu vigorously honked his horn, the BMW car emitting beeping sounds, as he grew increasingly smug. "Beauty, stop hanging out with this stinky brat. Come get in my BMW instead? Let big brother show you what speed and passion are all about." Bu Mengting didn''t even want to pay attention to Zhou Wu, finding him as annoying as a buzzing fly. "Husband, let''s ignore him and go!" "Okay." Lin Tian immediately picked up the pace, not wanting to get entangled with Zhou Wu. But as soon as they sped up, Zhou Wu also accelerated, quickly catching up to the speed of the tandem bicycle. "Hahaha, you guys are too funny, thinking you can shake me off with that broken bicycle? This is a BMW I''m driving!" Zhou Wu''s arrogant demeanor irritated Lin Tian immensely. What''s worse, Bu Mengting was equally miffed. "BMW is amazing, huh? BMW is something special, huh! Watch carefully now, see how I''ll leave your BMW in the dust with this bicycle today." Lin Tian was furious, turning around to speak to Bu Mengting. "Little wife Mengting, tuck your feet in, I''m speeding up." If one person on a tandem bicycle wants to speed up, the other has to match their pace. Lin Tian was planning on accelerating like mad, and he knew Bu Mengting surely couldn''t keep up, so he told her to pull her feet in. "Yo yo yo! What''s the big idea here? You planning to race my BMW with that bicycle? Come on then, let''s race! But let''s get one thing straight, if you lose, the beauty has to ride in my BMW!" Seeing Lin Tian seemingly getting angry made Zhou Wu ecstatic. "Talk about it after you win, ugly freak!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, the tandem bicycle suddenly seemed as if it had an engine installed, shooting forward like a bolt of lightning, its speed relentlessly increasing. Zhou Hu was taken aback for a moment before quickly pressing the gas pedal to chase after them. "Fuck, who the hell are you calling ugly freak!" "Who else but you? A disgusting mess makes a lot of noise!" Lin Tian shouted, furiously pedaling, his speed creating a blur. The speed of the tandem bicycle was getting faster and faster. "Fuck, I can''t believe it, a bicycle outpacing my BMW?" Zhou Wu also hurriedly floored the gas pedal, the BMW closely following Lin Tian''s tandem bicycle. Suddenly, many people noticed a bicycle racing against a BMW. "My god, what am I seeing? A bicycle racing a BMW?" "Pinch me, has the world gone mad?" "I''ll bet the BMW loses for sure!" "Stop kidding, how could a bicycle possibly outpace a BMW?" Lin Tian''s bicycle kept picking up speed, inciting utter disbelief in Zhou Wu. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire He glanced at the speedometer, 120 mph already, was this guy even human? But now wasn''t the time to be shocked, Zhou Wu pressed the gas pedal again. If he couldn''t even beat a bicycle today, how would he ever live it down if others found out? "Husband, go for it, that BMW can''t catch us!" Bu Mengting felt for the first time that a bicycle really could be cooler than a BMW, even if it was a bit uncomfortable to sit on. However, compared to the thrill of overtaking a BMW on a bicycle, these discomforts were nothing. "Hold tight, Mengting, my little wife, I''m going to speed up. This time we''ll completely lose that BMW guy." "OK!" Once again, the bicycle accelerated, and Zhou Wu''s eyes nearly popped out. What the hell kind of bicycle was this? He gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas harder, pushing the speed up to 130. But the bicycle kept getting further away from his line of sight. Damn it, how could it be so fast? Just as Zhou Wu decided to go all out and speed up further, he saw a police car appear in his rearview mirror. With no choice, Zhou Wu had to pull over. Meanwhile, the bicycle had long disappeared from sight. "Officer, I''m a good person. Why are you stopping me?" "A good person? Come on, let''s test for alcohol. Do you know this is the city center? How did you get your license? How fast were you just now? Over 120, right? Do you think this is a highway?" Flooded with questions by the police officer, Zhou Wu immediately caved in. Now wasn''t like the past; traffic management was very strict. He really was speeding, but thankfully he hadn''t been drinking. S~ea??h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Officer, I was wrong. But that bicycle over there was also speeding. It was even faster than me, why didn''t you stop it?" "Are you out of your mind? Bicycles are non-motorized vehicles; there''s no traffic law that says bicycles also have to follow speed limits, is there?" "Fuck!" Zhou Wu was completely baffled. When he thought about it carefully, there really wasn''t any traffic law that said bicycles had to follow speed limits. "Hahaha, a BMW can''t even beat a bicycle! Husband, you are so cool." Watching the BMW get pulled over by the police car and quickly disappear from view, Bu Mengting shouted excitedly. "Mengting, it''s about time. Let''s return the bicycle and go home." "Sure." Lin Tian took Bu Mengting back to the bicycle rental, and the owner of the rental shop seemed very surprised to see Lin Tian. "Are you the guy who raced a BMW on a bicycle?" "Ah, boss, how did you know? Isn''t my husband incredibly cool?" Bu Mengting didn''t expect that the owner had already heard about Lin Tian racing a BMW on a bicycle. The owner took out his phone and waved it. "It''s become the hottest topic in Wu''an today; look, everyone is talking about you guys. By the way, is there any problem with my bicycle?" "No problem, of course no problem. Boss, your bicycles are of really great quality." Lin Tian was quick to flatter the owner. The owner inspected the bicycle and found indeed there were no issues. But he couldn''t wrap his head around how Lin Tian managed to race a BMW on a bicycle. It just seemed too unbelievable. If it wasn''t for the fact that he had rented out the bicycle himself, he would have thought it was fake. "Of course, my bicycles all pass quality inspections." "Boss, you see, after your inspection, there''s nothing wrong with the bicycle, right?" "The bicycle has nothing wrong, but you guys have a problem!" The owner abruptly changed his tone, causing Lin Tian and Bu Mengting to pause. Standing tall, Bu Mengting asked, "What do you mean by that, boss? What do you mean ''people have a problem''? You have to explain that properly." "You''re racing a BMW with a bicycle, don''t you think that''s a problem?" Chapter 249 Spokesperson Lin Tian and Bu Mengting both looked crestfallen, wondering if the boss was looking for trouble. "What exactly do you want, boss? Just spit it out!" "What do I want? You used my bike to race a BMW, which definitely caused a lot of wear and tear on my bike. Although it doesn''t look problematic now, it surely will be later. So, you must do me a favor!" The boss''s words were somewhat unreasonable. There were no problems detected now, but he still wanted to blame Lin Tian and the other person if issues arose later. "You''re being completely unreasonable. Mengting, my dear, let''s go." Lin Tian was getting a bit angry, and it was a good thing the boss spoke politely, otherwise, he was ready to throw a punch. "Hey, hey, you young people, always in such a hurry. Can you let me finish speaking?" The boss quickly grabbed Lin Tian, who glared at him, almost ready to start a fight. Fortunately, the boss reacted quickly and started speaking. "Here''s the deal. I plan to take a photo of you two and make you my bike rental spokespeople!" "Bike rental spokespeople!" Lin Tian was unimpressed, but Bu Mengting was thrilled. After all, she was a girl who was particularly interested in becoming a star. "Exactly, think about it. The two of you raced past a BMW on my bike. What if someone asks about it later and doesn''t believe it? So, I plan to take your photo and display it here." "Sure, sure. We''ll be your spokespeople." Bu Mengting immediately nodded, pulling Lin Tian over for the boss to take their photo. Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant, but seeing Bu Mengting so excited, he couldn''t bring himself to say no. "Come on, give me a smile! Good, just like that! Cheese!" After taking the photo, the boss even handed out two red bills to Lin Tian and Bu Mengting. Initially, Bu Mengting was reluctant to accept it, but when the boss mentioned it was for their endorsement, she happily took it. "Hehe, I''m a spokesperson now too." On their way home, Bu Mengting couldn''t stop giggling. Lin Tian couldn''t understand these women; it was just taking a photo used as an advertisement. Why the excitement? Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire "What do you know? So many people want to be on billboards and can''t. Being a spokesperson, it shows I was born beautiful and charming." "Of course, my dear Mengting, you are the prettiest." "That''s more like it!" Flushed with excitement from Lin Tian''s compliment, Bu Mengting accidentally twisted her foot and lurched forward. Had she fallen, Bu Mengting''s beautiful face would have been marred, or at least scratched. A figure swiftly appeared next to Bu Mengting, a sturdy arm steadying her tender waist. With a strong pull, Bu Mengting was lifted back on her feet. A wave of masculine scent enveloped her, and Bu Mengting found Lin Tian exceptionally handsome today. "Honey, you''re amazing. If it weren''t for you, I''d have been disfigured today." "Still, it''s just being a spokesperson. Look how it got to your head. You''ve been bouncing around all the way, and now your foot''s twisted." Lin Tian held Bu Mengting close, not missing the chance to take advantage of the situation. Bu Mengting''s face turned red, but her brow furrowed. "Honey, be serious. My foot''s twisted, what should we do?" "It''s just a twist, let me rub it for you." Lin Tian found a stone seat, helped Bu Mengting sit down, and then took off her high heels. "It''s swollen so much! I told you to watch where you''re walking. Well, how about that? My big spokesperson." "Okay." Lin Tian was more than happy to keep rubbing; he hadn''t noticed before, but Bu Mengting''s little feet were truly beautiful. Her skin was clear and translucent, with no odor on her feet but a faint fragrance instead. Her ten toes were painted bright red, looking both enchanting and appealing. "It''s getting dark and my foot''s twisted. How are we going to get home?" "Are you silly? With your husband here, are you scared we won''t make it home? Come, I''ll carry you!" Lin Tian stood up, pinched Bu Mengting''s nose, then squatted in front of her. "My queen, mount your steed!" Bu Mengting, amused by Lin Tian, cheerfully climbed onto his back. "Giddy up! Off we go!" Bu Mengting was having so much fun, she seemed to forget about the pain in her foot as she playfully slapped Lin Tian''s shoulders. Lin Tian stood up but didn''t immediately take off. S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "My queen, I''m very fast, so if you don''t want to fall, you better hold on tight." "Hold on tight! Tsk, you rascal, always sneaking touches. Not today!" "My queen, I did warn you." "Quit that and get moving! Giddy up!" Seeing Bu Mengting not cooperating, Lin Tian dashed off suddenly, and Bu Mengting, caught off-guard, threw her head back nearly falling, which scared her into grabbing Lin Tian''s neck tightly, pressing her soft body against his back. "You rascal, always bullying me." "My queen, you can''t do this. Wanting the horse to run but not letting it graze. How is the horse supposed to move?" "Fine, I''ll let you graze!" Bu Mengting pinched him hard. Lin Tian howled in pain and sped towards their home. "Your uncle''s family isn''t home?" "They''re often away." "Then with your foot twisted, I must stay to take care of you." Lin Tian looked at Bu Mengting with a mischievous grin. "My foot is like this, and you''re still thinking of mischief." Seeing that mischievous smile on Lin Tian''s face, Bu Mengting immediately knew he was up to no good again. "I''ll check it for you!" Chapter 250 Bathing Together Bu Mengting''s ankle had twisted, so she definitely needed help taking a shower. "How should I shower?" Bu Mengting blushed, burying her face entirely into her chest. Lin Tian suddenly realized and looked at Bu Mengting with a mischievous smile. For some reason, Bu Mengting felt a sudden sadness. Lin Tian quickly hugged Bu Mengting. "Mengting my little wife, what''s wrong?" "Today, that Zhang Ya, she held your hand for so long, you dare say your heart didn''t flutter? That woman''s figure isn''t bad either, right?" "Didn''t I reject her right then? With you and Qianqian my big wife, I have enough." "Oh please, I know you too well. You say nice things, but you only rejected her because I and Qianqian were around. If we weren''t, you definitely would have taken her to a hotel room." "Mengting my little wife, how can you think of your husband like that? These thoughts of yours are not good." "Hmph, I''m already being conservative in my thoughts. Now, tell me, what''s going on with that policewoman?" "Which policewoman?" Lin Tian intended to play dumb. But Bu Mengting clearly wasn''t buying it. "You know which one. Chen Yixuan. Humph, talking about some ''old rules,'' you''d better tell me honestly what those ''old rules'' are all about." "Oh her? It''s nothing. I helped her catch a thief, and she''ll be commended for it when she goes back. All these will count as her merits. It''ll all help her with promotions and such in the future. So you tell me, doesn''t she owe me a thank you?" "She doesn''t need to thank you all the way to the bed!" "Of course not that far, but treating me to a meal isn''t too much to ask, right?" "Just a meal?" "Just eating" Faced with Bu Mengting''s persistent questioning, Lin Tian stood firm, insisting it was only about sharing a meal. Truth be told, he wasn''t completely lying; he had taken some liberties with that female officer Chen Yixuan, but nothing substantial had happened. "No matter what, I don''t care, both Qianqian and I are willing to be like this for you. If you dare mess around outside, just see how I''ll deal with you." For the next two days, Lin Tian tried everything to entertain Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, striving to satisfy every demand of the two women. Of course, the rewards the two women gave were very satisfying. After two days, Lin Tian returned to school.

Lin Tao that little rascal was still mysteriously elusive, Feng Jiabao had also vanished, only Guo Rong was in the dorm. "Lin Tian, had enough fun?" "How come you''ve been staying in the dorm the whole time?" "Ah, how can this single dog compare with you? By the way, have you seen the news?" Guo Rong suddenly asked. Lin Tian was startled. "What happened, something big?" It couldn''t be that his bike racing against the BMW made the news, could it? "Big news! Of course, it''s big news! Remember, the notorious thief gang we had before?" "The thief gang?" Lin Tian immediately knew it must be that, with the help of his divination, Chen Yixuan had completely caught all members of the thief gang. However, he deliberately said. "Who got robbed again?" "It''s not about who got robbed, those guys are out of luck, all got arrested. Heh, not a single good one among those thieves, they should''ve been caught sooner. Too bad they can''t be sentenced to death." Guo Rong said with a face full of indignation, as if he thought even the thieves deserved the death penalty. "Catching them is good news. That way, our Wu''an''s safety index will go up a lot." "Of course, it''s good news they got caught, but the big news I''m talking about isn''t that." Guo Rong suddenly became serious, dangling a moderately big teaser. Stay updated with My Virtual Library Empire "Then what is it?" "It''s still about a thief. The thief gang got caught, right? Now a lone thief has popped up. This guy is very skilled and has quite an arrogant air. After stealing, he leaves a note in someone''s bag that says, ''Thief God Luo Li!'' Such an arrogant thief? Lin Tian was also shocked. Shouldn''t thieves be hiding everywhere, scared of being caught? This Luo Li, after stealing, even leaves a note. Does he want the police to catch him or what? "That arrogant? Did the police catch him yet?" Chapter 251 Brazen "No way, that thief is indeed impressive. But no matter how capable, it''s none of our business. Lin Tian, what do you say we go out for dinner tonight? I heard there''s a new barbecue place that opened up near the campus. Shall we try it out?" Guo Rong, the foodie, started talking about food again as he spoke. But then again, it had been a while since the four roommates had gathered together. "Sure, but it''s boring to go with just the two of us. What about the other two?" "Don''t get me started, the boss is only concerned with his own love life, and it seems like Lin Tao is about to be off the market too. That just leaves me." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire "Don''t be so pessimistic, man. You''ve still got me. Alright, let''s go for a feast, my treat." Seeing Guo Rong looking genuinely lonely, Lin Tian decided to be generous. "You''re the best." The moment Guo Rong heard about the big meal, his foodie nature was completely exposed. Most of the consumers at the shops around Wu''an University were students from the university. With the recent opening of a new barbecue restaurant, it was clear that they were targeting the easy money from the students. Lin Tian was paying, so of course, Guo Rong wasn''t going to be polite. He ordered all the meat dishes like skewered R, kidney, and J leg. "Guo Rong, if you want to get a girlfriend soon, I suggest you eat less." "Lin Tian, are you worried about your money?" "I''m really looking out for your best interest." "For me, Guo Rong, I''d rather give up on girls than on good food." Guo Rong''s eyes shone as he stared at the skewered R at the barbecue stand, his saliva uncontrollable. Against such a foodie, Lin Tian was powerless. "Lin Tian, can we sit here?" A sweet and crisp voice rang out. Lin Tian looked up and saw two lovely girls. The Shen sisters, Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran. The one who spoke was Shen Yiran, while Shen Mengyi stood behind with a restrained manner, her gaze at Lin Tian somewhat chilly. Shen Mengyi''s impression of Lin Tian used to be quite good, but after knowing about Lin Tian''s relationship with Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi began to keep her distance subtly. "Sit down, please do! Wow, I never thought I''d get to dine with the campus belle one day." Before Lin Tian could say a word, the chubby Guo Rong took it upon himself to reply. He had just claimed he didn''t need girls as long as he had food. Now, before he even started eating, his attitude changed completely upon seeing the girls. "Sis, you sit over here! Lin Tian, aren''t you trying to chase my sister? Here''s your chance, this meal''s on you!" Shen Yiran was still as straightforward as before. "Yiran, stop talking nonsense. Lin Tian has a girlfriend." Shen Mengyi couldn''t bear to watch anymore. She indeed had feelings for Lin Tian, but ever since she learned that Lin Tian had a girlfriend, she had been trying to maintain a distance from him. "So what if he has a girlfriend? Is she as pretty as my sister? Even if she is, does she have an attractive sister like me? If Lin Tian really became my brother-in-law, he''d have a pretty little aunt like me, and he''d definitely choose my sister as long as he''s not a fool." Shen Yiran, the girl, was as daring as ever in her speech. And when she brought up the topic of a ''little aunt,'' she shot Lin Tian a flirtatious wink, full of teasing. Just as Guo Rong was greedily grabbing a skewered R, he suddenly chimed in. "Shen beauty, what you don''t know is that Bu Mengting also has a sister, Li Xiaomeng. She''s still young, but she''s a real gem of a lolita. Give her a few years, and she''ll be another curvaceous little aunt." Guo Rong wasn''t just talking nonsense; Bu Mengting did have a sister, Li Xiaomeng. Though Li Xiaomeng was young, she was indeed a beauty in the making, and quite the quirky character, having fooled Guo Rong once before. "Really? Sister, looks like you''ve got some serious competition. Why don''t we join forces to snag Lin Tian?" Hearing Shen Yiran''s words, Lin Tian and Shen Mengyi both went dark in the face. Lin Tian turned a cold face towards Guo Rong and shouted. "I think you''re in need of a lesson, aren''t you?" "No, absolutely not, I misspoke. I''ll continue with my skewered R, you guys chat, you chat!" In need of a lesson, that''s Li Xiaomeng''s catchphrase. The thought of the Witch''s prowess made Guo Rong instantly behave. "Lin Tian, tell me the truth, are you going to chase after my sister or not?" Shen Yiran was not easily dismissed and kept pressing the question. Shen Mengyi, for some reason, did not stop her this time. Perhaps she wanted to know Lin Tian''s thoughts as well. "Cough cough, now''s not the time to discuss this. I''ve got something important to tell you guys." On this matter, Lin Tian naturally couldn''t give Shen Yiran an answer. Another one at this point would surely send Lin Tian into a panic. "What''s so important?" Shen Yiran wasn''t ready to let Lin Tian go, but Shen Mengyi immediately took over the conversation, helping Lin Tian out of a tight spot. "Have you guys been following the news lately? The theft situation in WA city is out of control!" Lin Tian brought up what Guo Rong had told him, not just as a distraction. "Yeah, we saw that, but I heard all those thieves were caught by the police, right? There seemed to be quite a few of them; it was like a whole gang." Shen Yiran actually did watch the news. "Then you definitely don''t know, after the burglar gang was caught, another audacious thief popped up." As soon as Guo Rong heard this topic again, he immediately swallowed the roasted R he was eating and joined in. "Audacious? What do you mean by audacious?" Both Shen Yiran and Shen Mengyi were curious about what Guo Rong said. "This thief not only stole people''s things but also left a note, calling himself the ''Thief God.'' You tell me, isn''t that bold? Isn''t it an outright challenge to the police?" "My god, has the thief lost his mind? Is he courting death?" Shen Yiran exclaimed, clearly surprised by the thief''s brazen behavior. "I don''t think it''s courting death, but rather he has extreme confidence in himself. That thief hasn''t been caught yet, has he?" Shen Mengyi was much more composed and sharp-witted compared to Shen Yiran. "Shen, the beautiful, is insightful, indeed the thief has not been caught yet. Moreover, I heard that the police have suffered several losses at the hands of this ''Thief God.''" Guo Rong''s spit flew as he spoke excitedly, thrilled by the rapt attention of the two beauties. "You''ve heard it, this thief is so formidable and rampant. You two beauties must be extra careful in the future?" Lin Tian took the opportunity to remind the two beauties to be vigilant. However, Shen Yiran clearly didn''t appreciate it. "Why should we be careful? He''s just a thief, at most he''ll steal money, steal phones. I never carry much money anyway, why should I be careful?" "Yiran, what kind of way is that to talk?" Before Lin Tian could speak, Shen Mengyi reproached her first. "Lin Tian is reminding us to be careful. With a thief so daring and rampant, who knows what he will steal next. If we encounter him, he might even rob us of our dignity!" "Rob us of our dignity? Ah, what should we do then? Right, Lin Tian, aren''t you very capable? You have to protect me and my sister!" Shen Yiran didn''t seem to know if she was truly afraid or just pretending as she immediately clung to Lin Tian''s arm. The distinct fragrance unique to a young girl and the soft sensation on his arm made Lin Tian also pause for a moment. "Don''t worry, with me here, no one can harm you." Lin Tian patted Shen Yiran''s shoulder, readily promising to take care of them both. "Hmph, who needs your protection. I don''t think the thief will be arrogant for long. The police will definitely catch him soon." Shen Mengyi didn''t seem grateful; mostly she felt some resentment towards Lin Tian for flirting despite having a girlfriend. "The police are the least reliable, I still think Lin Tian is reliable. Right, Lin Tian, I don''t have your phone number. Give it to me quickly. If I ever encounter danger, I must call you, and you have to come protect me as fast as you can." Shen Yiran directly asked for Lin Tian''s phone number. Guo Rong, of course, was just enjoying his food, wanting to chat with Shen, the beautiful, but her cold aura made him lose his confidence. "It''s no fun just eating without drinking something, right?" Having almost finished eating, Shen Yiran, who seemed cheerful, suggested drinking. Guo Rong didn''t mind, Shen Mengyi''s complexion didn''t change, and though she didn''t speak out against it, Guo Rong called the waiter over and ordered a case of beer. Originally, Shen Mengyi wanted to use glasses, but Shen Yiran bit the cap off and started drinking from the bottle, her manner rough and unrefined. Lin Tian had never seen Shen Yiran so unrestrained, but now, with the mood lifted by Shen Yiran, everyone took a bottle and drank straight from it. Drinking alcohol can be greatly influenced by mood. Bad moods and low spirits can lead to overdrinking, and good moods can lead to the same. After the four of them drank together, Guo Rong was the first to fall. The second to go down was Shen Yiran, who talked tough and drank fiercely, but unfortunately, her tolerance was lacking, and she lay her head on the table after three bottles. In contrast, Shen Mengyi''s cheeks were flushed, but her eyes remained clear and bright, her capacity for alcohol surprisingly strong. "I didn''t expect you to have such a good tolerance!" "There''s a lot you don''t expect about me! By the way, how far have you and Bu Mengting gone?" sea??h th§× n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Shen Mengyi, emboldened by the alcohol, asked a question that had been on her mind the most. To say she felt nothing for Lin Tian would definitely be self-deception. Lin Tian''s various tasks had involved her, naturally leaving a profound impression on Shen Mengyi. Still, Shen Mengyi wasn''t a silly admirer; knowing Lin Tian had a girlfriend, she had always deliberately kept her distance. Today, if it weren''t for the alcohol, she definitely would not have asked Lin Tian. "What do you think our progress is?" For some reason, Lin Tian didn''t want to tell the truth. Perhaps it was a common ailment among men¡ªunwilling to admit their relationship with another woman in front of a beauty. Chapter 252 Who is beautiful "I see that you guys are pretty close." Shen Mengyi took another big gulp, perhaps a bit tipsy, as beer spilled from the corner of her mouth, soaking her shirt at the chest, drenching a large area. Her shirt clung tightly to her skin. Lin Tian stared blankly at Shen Mengyi''s chest, thinking to himself, this woman''s assets are even bigger than I anticipated. "Of course, my relationship with her is close. She''s my girlfriend; we''ve done everything that should be done." Shen Mengyi, not sure if she was drunk or pretending not to notice that she was slightly exposed, gazed at Lin Tian with moist eyes. "Which one of us do you think is prettier, Bu Mengting or me?" "Well, Mengting is my girlfriend, so of course, she is prettier. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?" "If, and I''m just saying if, Bu Mengting wasn''t your girlfriend. Who would you say is prettier between her and me?" It was hard to believe that the usually rational Shen Mengyi would ask such a question. But Lin Tian had long had an answer to this kind of question. "Even then, my Mengting would be prettier, although you, Shen, the great beauty, are not bad either. The key point is, I haven''t gotten to know you deeply, so I can''t fully appreciate your beauty." Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire "What do you mean by that? Pretty is pretty, and not pretty is not pretty, why do you need to know someone deeply?" "Ahem, this question, it''s quite philosophical. You and I won''t see eye to eye on this. If it were a guy, I might be able to explain it to him." "Cut the crap, just pretend I''m a guy and spill it." Shen Mengyi didn''t seem to pass out, but she was clearly drunk. Everyone is different when they are drunk. For example, when Guo Rong got drunk, he would turn pale, fall to the ground, and wouldn''t stop talking nonsense. Talking about how he would train you properly, how he would conquer you, and so on. Shen Yiran, on the other hand, would be very quiet, lying motionless on the table. Shen Mengyi was obviously of another type¡ªclear-headed but revealing another side she usually hid. "Alright, since you asked, I''ll tell you. When us guys judge whether a woman is a beauty, we look at many aspects. But generally, there are two main points! First, the face. In that regard, you and Mengting are on par. But the second point requires a deeper understanding, something I have with Mengting but not so much with you, so it''s unclear." "What''s the second point?" "The figure! Mengting''s figure, I have personally assessed with my own hands, absolutely enchanting. I haven''t had the chance to assess your figure, hence I have no say." As Lin Tian spoke, his eyes kept fixed on Shen Mengyi''s chest. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Pervert! Men are all the same, none of them are good." If Shen Mengyi didn''t understand Lin Tian''s implication by now, she would indeed be a fool. After cursing Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi seemed to become somewhat alert, realizing her chest felt cool. Looking down, her pretty face lost its color. Damn Lin Tian, he must have seen it all along but didn''t remind me. "It''s getting late, Lin Tian, we should head back to the dormitory. What should we do about these two drunkards now?" "Of course, one for each of us." "No way, I can''t handle Yiran." It wasn''t that Shen Mengyi couldn''t handle her, but that she herself had had a bit too much to drink. Despite seeming clear-headed, she would likely stagger if she tried to walk. "Well, how about this. There''s a hotel nearby. We could just get a room there and let these two sleep it off?" "Fine." The hotel was close by. Lin Tian carried the fat guy with one hand and supported Shen Yiran with the other, while Shen Mengyi leaned all her weight on Lin Tian. Thankfully, Lin Tian had a superpower. Otherwise, anyone else would have been at a loss for what to do. Upon entering the hotel, the reception was very welcoming. "How many rooms would you like?" "Two rooms." Considering that Guo Rong and Shen Yiran were both drunk and needed someone to look after them, Lin Tian asked for two rooms. Shen Mengyi certainly didn''t object. At this point, overcome by drowsiness, she leaned on Lin Tian, half-asleep and half-awake. Finding the rooms was a struggle, but Lin Tian managed to open one and tossed Guo Rong straight in. "Shen Mengyi, wake up. We''re at the room, your sister is all yours now." Lin Tian patted Shen Mengyi by his side, and Shen Mengyi blinked. "Give me a hand, I can''t lift her." It wasn''t just a matter of lifting; Shen Mengyi could barely stand on her own, she would have fallen over if not for Lin Tian''s support. Having no choice, Lin Tian carried Shen Yiran and supported Shen Mengyi as he opened the other room. First, he tossed Shen Yiran onto the bed, and then cradled Shen Mengyi into bed as well. "Hey, Lin Tian, you, don''t go yet. I want, want to ask you a question." After being carried onto the bed by Lin Tian, Shen Mengyi suddenly grabbed Lin Tian''s arm, her eyes wide open, not showing any sign of drunkenness at all. "What do you want to ask?" "If, if I had met you before Bu Mengting, would I be your girlfriend?" "Shen, the great beauty, you''ve had too much to drink. Go to sleep quickly, we have classes tomorrow." This time, Lin Tian did not answer Shen Mengyi. "Okay, let''s drop that question. Then let me ask you one more, who is prettier, me or Bu Mengting?" "Haven''t I already said before, without personally measuring, I can''t tell who is prettier." "Now I''m giving you a chance to measure. I just want to know the answer." As she spoke, Shen Mengyi grabbed Lin Tian''s hand and pressed it to her chest. However, Lin Tian immediately reacted, wrenching his hand free. "Shen Mengyi you''ve drunk too much, go to sleep quickly." After saying that, he turned and ran. He really ran. If he didn''t run who knew what he might end up doing. Indeed, it was proven that Shen Mengting was indeed a beauty on Bu Mengting''s level, but from Lin Tian''s personal view, Shen Mengting seemed even more capable of igniting his impulses. ** A new day began, and Lin Tian wasn''t actually that interested in going to class, especially since with his superpower he could learn anything quickly. The only reason he still attended like everyone else was to avoid standing out as someone special. Right after finishing a class, Lin Tian''s phone rang. Wasn''t Chen Yixuan supposed to be chasing after that brazen thief? Why come to the school at this time? "Hello? Chen Yixuan, are you coming to treat me to a meal?" The last time, when the gang of thieves was caught, it was actually with Lin Tian''s help that Chen Yixuan managed to catch all members of the theft ring. . "A meal? Okay, I suppose I do owe you a meal. Then I''ll wait for you at the restaurant at the school gate. Come over quickly." "Hehe, I''ll be there in a flash." But after arriving at the place, Lin Tian''s mood immediately took a downturn. Chen Yixuan was still as beautiful as ever, but her complexion today was not too good. And most seriously of all, her arm was wrapped in gauze, seemingly injured. "What happened?" "Sit down, and I''ll tell you all about it slowly." Chen Yixuan was in a really bad mood. Originally, with one fell swoop, she had cut off the gang of thieves, energizing the entire police station, and Chen Yixuan was scheduled to receive a commendation. But the sudden appearance of the ''crafty thief'' caught the police off guard. After several encounters, Chen Yixuan and her team, following clues, finally confronted the ''crafty thief'' face to face. What they didn''t expect was that the thief was not only great at stealing but also good at fighting. If it weren''t for their guns, the encounter could have resulted in heavy casualties. Chen Yixuan was also injured in this incident, her arm nearly twisted off. "What''s the background of this thief?" "We don''t know either, only that his name is Luo Li, something he himself revealed in a note he left after stealing." Speaking of this ''crafty thief,'' Chen Yixuan felt somewhat deflated, she had never seen such a brazen person who had no regard for the police. "That amazing, huh? Then it seems you''re not here to treat me to a meal, are you?" "At times like these, let''s not worry about one or two meals. As long as you help me catch Luo Li, I''ll treat you to your fill." It seems Chen Yixuan was truly outraged this time, any policeman would get angry facing such an audacious thief. "You need my help again? But I haven''t even received my payment from last time." "Ah... I''ll do a divination for you!" Lin Tian quickly changed the subject! Lin Tian didn''t take the task of finding a single person to heart. He took out three coins and without any noticeable movement, the three coins began to spin rapidly on the table like tops. Moments later, Lin Tian was a bit confounded. Staring at the three coins, Lin Tian''s mind went blank. "So, have you divined where that bastard is?" Chen Yixuan clenched her teeth in anger, it seemed that if she knew where Luo Li was, she would go after him immediately, not caring about her injury in the slightest. "No, my divination cannot locate him." Chapter 253 Divination Failure "What? How is that possible? No way. Lin Tian, are you playing me? I let you touch me, let you have a taste. And you actually dare to play me?" Chen Yixuan immediately erupted, she had endured humiliation all for the sake of having Lin Tian help her find Luo Li, right? That brazen thief, every day he wasn''t caught was another slap in the face to the police. Facing the furious Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian was also quite helpless. It wasn''t that he didn''t want to help Chen Yixuan, but he genuinely couldn''t divine the answer. "Chen Yixuan, calm down a bit. My divination isn''t almighty. It''s pretty normal to occasionally get no results, isn''t it?" "Normal my ass. You''re just messing with me." "What''s the rush, just relax. Since I''ve promised to help you this time, I''ll definitely see it through. You go back first, I still have classes to attend. I will come and find you tonight." "Tonight? What exactly do you mean by that, young man?" "What do I mean? Well, helping you this time might require some serious effort on my part. Have you thought about how you''re going to repay me?" Divination failed to work, this Luo Li was not a simple case indeed. S§×arch* The n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What do you want? As long as you help me catch Luo Li, you can do whatever you want, okay?" Chen Yixuan seemed to truly despise Luo Li, not only because she was injured, but also because Luo Li''s existence had put the entire police department in a passive position. "Really, I can do whatever I want? Well then, here''s the thing. My girlfriend isn''t available these days, you know, yin and yang imbalance, it''s easy for things to go wrong. So, why don''t you come and warm my bed, we can adjust the balance a bit?" As Lin Tian spoke, he stared at Chen Yixuan''s chest, appearing like a lecherous, hungry ghost. "Why don''t you go die!" Chen Yixuan finally blew up, delivering a kick directly towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian reacted extremely quickly, conveniently catching Chen Yixuan''s leg and grabbed a handful of it. "Tsk, nice touch. Chen Yixuan, you''ve got quite a figure." "Bastard, let go of me." Chen Yixuan''s face flushed red, it was the first time she had been teased by a man like this. Seeing that Chen Yixuan was really angry, Lin Tian didn''t continue the joke and released his grip. "Chen Yixuan, I''ll be honest with you. This Luo Li is quite tricky. Even my divination can fail, which means he''s not a simple character. So, if I want to catch him, I''m afraid I''ll have to put in a lot of effort, do you understand?" "Understand what?" "What do you mean, understand? I''m putting in a lot of effort to work for you, and you can''t even show a little appreciation? Warming the bed or whatever doesn''t even compare to my efforts, okay?" "If you dare mention it again, believe it or not, I''ll cripple you. Make sure you won''t be able to act like a man anymore." Chen Yixuan stared at Lin Tian''s crotch, seemingly ready to take action at any moment. This made Lin Tian a little nervous, with a chilling sensation down below. A violent female cop is not to be trifled with. "Alright, alright. You''re the tough one. But for this matter, I need to think things through for the long term. You go back for now, give me some time to come up with a plan." "You better hurry it up. This guy is just too arrogant." Chen Yixuan seemed really eager to catch Luo Li. After sending Chen Yixuan off, Lin Tian began to carefully consider Luo Li''s case. With divination being ineffective, this was the first time Lin Tian encountered such an issue since he acquired the ability. After giving it some thought, he felt increasingly that Luo Li wouldn''t be easy to deal with. After returning to school, Lin Tian still couldn''t focus on his classes. And for no other reason than someone had come looking for him again. And it was a knockout beauty. Zhang Ya, for some reason, had actually come to the school to find Lin Tian. Truth be told, Zhang Ya was indeed a beauty, not at all inferior to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. However, matters of the heart can be complicated. "Lin Tian, I came to find you today mainly because you saved me that day, so I''d like to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude," said Zhang Ya excitedly upon seeing Lin Tian. She almost rushed into his embrace, but upon noticing his expression, she stopped herself. Clearly, Zhang Ya had not only a dazzling appearance but also intellect to match her beauty. The saying "beauty without brains" seemed inapplicable to her. "No need, I was just doing what anyone would have done that day, and you already thanked me then." To Lin Tian, Zhang Ya didn''t make much of an impression. In his mind, she was just a beauty, nothing more. "You saved my life; a simple thank you can''t possibly convey my gratitude. Anyway, I insist on treating you to a meal today." Zhang Ya spoke with determination, and Lin Tian had a feeling that if he didn''t agree, it might get troublesome. Initially, Lin Tian had quite a good impression of Zhang Ya, viewing her as a beautiful lady. But now, he suddenly found himself disliking her, thinking she assumed the world should revolve around her just because she''s beautiful? "Sorry, I have to attend class." "Lin Tian, I want to invite you for a meal, and you must agree to it," insisted Zhang Ya. Lin Tian pushed Zhang Ya away, his face looking even more displeased. He couldn''t understand how such a beautiful woman like Zhang Ya could have such a personality. Compared to He Qianqian and Bu Mengting, Zhang Ya was far behind. "You should know that I already have a girlfriend. No, I have wives. Two of them, one big, one small. Stop bothering me. You''re very beautiful, and there are plenty of men chasing after you. There''s no need to bother with me." After Lin Tian finished speaking, he intended to leave. Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Zhang Ya felt an inexplicable sorrow in her heart. She had been a beauty since childhood, and from the time she was in junior high, there had constantly been people writing her love letters, sending flowers, and trying all sorts of ways to pursue her. For the men who tried to please her, Zhang Ya never cared. But that day, when she found herself in danger and Lin Tian stepped forward to save her, everything changed. Zhang Ya felt that the image of a man had appeared in her heart. This feeling was strange, yet it was incredibly real. Zhang Ya was never a passive person. Once she realized she had fallen for Lin Tian, she decided to take the initiative. The day Lin Tian was leaving, she confessed her feelings to him. But the result took Zhang Ya completely by surprise; Lin Tian rejected her. At that time, Zhang Ya felt extremely unwilling to accept it, utterly dejected. After returning home and thinking it over carefully, she thought she had found the key reason. At that time, Lin Tian was accompanied by He Qianqian and Bu Mengting; of course he would reject her. Therefore, with renewed confidence, Zhang Ya came to find Lin Tian again today. There were no other women around today, and she believed Lin Tian certainly would not reject her. But reality was cruel. "Lin Tian, you bastard!" Zhang Ya cursed, but Lin Tian had already walked far away. "Damn man, but don''t think you can escape from the palm of my hand. I, Zhang Ya, will definitely make you fall in love with me." After shaking off Zhang Ya''s entanglement, Lin Tian continued to attend classes. Of course, although physically present in class, his thoughts were all on Luo Li, whose actions kept slipping through his mind. Why had the divination failed? This baffled Lin Tian, who had always had smooth sailing since acquiring his superpowers. This feeling was identical to the one he had encountered with the ghost last time. It seems that in this world, not only does he possess powers beyond ordinary humans. In the afternoon, he ran into Shen Mengyi. The beauty and president of the school broadcasting club seemed to have already forgotten her drunkenness from last night. "Lin Tian, do you have any free time coming up?" "Is there something you need?" Shen Mengyi didn''t bring it up, so of course, Lin Tian wouldn''t mention last night''s incident either. After all, when he was leaving, Shen Mengyi had been quite proactive. If Lin Tian had really had any ideas at that time, he believed Shen Mengyi would have definitely not refused him. "I''ve been planning to organize an event and wanted to invite you to perform magic. I know you are not easily persuaded, so I came to invite you personally." "Sorry, I am very busy recently and probably won''t have time for the event." Lin Tian was not making excuses; because of Chen Yixuan''s case, he had to help out. This was not only for the public good but more importantly, he had to figure out who exactly Luo Li was. Whether there are others in the world with superpowers like himself. "Ah, is that so? Then, never mind." "Then, I''ll be going now." "Wait a minute." As Lin Tian was about to leave, Shen Mengyi suddenly became anxious and called out to him. "What is it?" "About last night, you... you won''t tell anyone else, will you?" It seemed that Shen Mengyi really had drunk too much last night to actively grab Lin Tian''s hand and place it on her chest. After sobering up today, Shen Mengyi was extremely embarrassed. She had been drunk, true, but unlike Shen Yiran, she had been lucid at the time and, after waking up, she still clearly remembered what happened last night. The previous invitation for Lin Tian to perform magic was completely an excuse. "Last night? What about last night? Wasn''t it that we drank merrily, and in the end, I helped the great beauty Shen send her sister back to the dormitory?" "Yes, that''s right. Lin Tian, thank you." Shen Mengyi was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood Lin Tian''s meaning and smiled happily. "You look beautiful when you smile, you should try to smile more often." Experience new stories with My Virtual Library Empire After praising her, Lin Tian returned to his dormitory. After thinking for a long time, Lin Tian still couldn''t find a clue. Faced with an unknown enemy, he had no idea where to begin. In the evening, Chen Yixuan came. Only half a day had passed, but Chen Yixuan seemed even more anxious. "Lin Tian, is your divination still not working?" "Looking at you, it seems something else has happened?" "That Luo Li is too audacious; he has just stolen from another supermarket. The higher-ups are treating this case with utmost importance. If we don''t catch Luo Li soon, we police will have no face left to show." "Don''t worry, there is always a solution to a problem." "Does that mean you have found a way?" Chapter 254 Get Out of the Way Quickly "No, I haven''t even had dinner yet. How can you expect me to run like a horse without letting me graze? Hurry up and let''s find a place to grab a bite." Lin Tian certainly hadn''t thought of a method, he was just trying to comfort Chen Yixuan. A person who is always in a state of anxiety can easily collapse. "I don''t mind treating you to dinner, but only if you help me catch that Luo Li." Chen Yixuan felt relieved upon hearing that Lin Tian had a plan. Just as the two were about to find a restaurant to eat French cuisine, Bu Mengting appeared. "Lin Tian!" Hearing this voice, Lin Tian instinctively paused. Damn, why did Bu Mengting have to show up? Bu Mengting and He Qianqian had their suspicions about the relationship between Lin Tian and Chen Yixuan already, and now with Bu Mengting witnessing this, things did not look too good. "Mengting! Perfect timing. Officer Chen Yixuan wanted to thank me for the help I offered last time by treating me to dinner. Why don''t you join us?" "Sure." If it were any other day, Bu Mengting might have politely declined, but she definitely needed to keep an eye on Chen Yixuan, the policewoman. Lin Tian hadn''t expected Bu Mengting to be so proactive today, knowing that usually, he had to be quite cheeky to enjoy this kind of treatment. "Let''s go, Chen Yixuan." Lin Tian suddenly felt that being caught by Bu Mengting with Chen Yixuan might not be such a bad thing after all. But this time, Lin Tian was clearly too naive. There were restaurants near the school, only a few hundred meters away. But during such a short distance, Lin Tian was attacked by Bu Mengting more than a hundred times. Almost every step he took let him experience the severe consequences of making a woman jealous. Lin Tian did not utter a sound, because when the real pain came, a man must endure and not cry out in pain. At the restaurant, Bu Mengting seemed to have let off enough steam. Or maybe she was afraid Chen Yixuan would notice because she stopped. Chen Yixuan had already noticed Bu Mengting''s little attacks, but she also had a big problem with Lin Tian. As for the guy who had a habit of taking liberties with her, Chen Yixuan certainly did not have any sympathy, and even deliberately slowed down a few steps. As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Yixuan promptly ordered the dishes and then started asking questions. "Lin Tian, what exactly is your plan? Tell me quickly." With Bu Mengting by her side, Chen Yixuan felt it was an opportunity. Lin Tian was at his wit''s end, thinking that he hadn''t actually come up with any plan at all, and it was purely to comfort Chen Yixuan. But now, with Bu Mengting there, if he didn''t speak up, it might lead Bu Mengting to misunderstand that he was deliberately holding back to spend more time with Chen Yixuan. What a mess today''s event turned out to be. "That matter is not urgent, we''re here to dine. Let''s eat first and talk later." "What''s the matter? Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan is treating you to dinner, so stop playing coy and just tell her already." Bu Mengting sure enough chimed in; she didn''t know the process, but she didn''t want to let Lin Tian and Chen Yixuan have extended contact. "It''s actually nothing. Mengting, you know about the especially brazen thief recently, right? I was just thinking of having Lin Tian come up with a plan to catch this Luo Li." "The self-proclaimed God Thief, Luo Li? That thief is so reckless. Lin Tian, share your method with Chen Yixuan, so that scoundrel can''t continue to elude justice." But at that moment, Lin Tian had a blank look on his face because his system had just given him a prompt. "Helping Chen Yiran catch Luo Li will reward you with three Supernatural Points. Failure will cost six Supernatural Points." Does it have to be so harsh? Six points deducted for a failure; he absolutely had to complete this task. At the same time, Lin Tian realized from the three-point reward that this Luo Li was definitely not an easy target. "Lin Tian, what are you spacing out for? Didn''t you say you had a way to help Chen Yixuan?" Bu Mengting saw Lin Tian daydreaming and moved her foot, stepping on him. "Ouch! Mengting, what are you doing?" Lin Tian winced from the pain at his feet and came back to his senses. "Didn''t you have a good plan to help Chen Yixuan catch that thief Luo Li? Spit it out." "What do you know? This method can''t be said out loud, if I say it, then it won''t work." Lin Tian made up a lie on the spot, and both Bu Mengting and Chen Yixuan actually believed it. The various bizarre events that Lin Tian had previously performed were all extraordinary and mysterious. So, both Bu Mengting and Chen Yixuan trusted Lin Tian deeply. "In that case, I won''t ask." Although Bu Mengting felt a little jealous about Lin Tian''s contact with Chen Yixuan, she was still on Lin Tian''s side in her heart. That was also the main reason why Lin Tian could fall for Bu Mengting, a beauty, yet could not take an interest in Zhang Ya. "Then how long do you need to catch this Luo Li?" Bu Mengting might not ask, but Chen Yixuan couldn''t let it go. She was a police officer, and she was very anxious about catching Luo Li. "I don''t know, but don''t worry, I will definitely catch Luo Li for you." For the first time, Lin Tian was also a bit worried. If it had been before, he would have confidently proclaimed that it would take no more than three days, or even that he could catch the person that very day. But this time was different, divination didn''t work on Luo Li, leaving Lin Tian completely without direction. "Alright then, let''s eat first." Having received Lin Tian''s response, Chen Yixuan could not press him further. She was aware of some of Lin Tian''s mysterious methods; otherwise, she wouldn''t have allowed Lin Tian to take his liberties with her on multiple occasions. The meal was not as comfortable as the night before, as Lin Tian had to pay attention to Bu Mengting''s mood from time to time. Fortunately, Bu Mengting seemed normal during the meal. After the meal, it was natural for Chen Yixuan to go back on her own, as Lin Tian had to escort Bu Mengting. "Mengting, how about you don''t go back to the dorm tonight? What do you say we go to a hotel?" "You pervert, you big lecher!" Suddenly, Bu Mengting''s expression changed, and she cursed at Lin Tian. "What''s wrong, Mengting? How have I provoked you again?" "Hmph, aren''t you aware of the good deeds you''ve done yourself? Tell me, who did you go to a hotel with last night?" Last night? My goodness! Lin Tian was suddenly stumped; word of his drinking with Shen Mengyi and her sister had spread so quickly. It was reasonable to think about it, though, since the place where they drank was close to the school at a barbecue restaurant. Shen Mengyi was a prominent figure at the school, and Lin Tian had recently been quite the talk of the school, so it was normal for someone to recognize them. Seeing them drink together and head to a hotel, of course, set off a whirlwind of gossip. "Mengting, don''t you know what kind of person I am? Last night Shen Mengyi and her sister drank too much, and I just helped them to the hotel to get a room. The two sisters slept in one room, what could I possibly do?" "Don''t lie to me. What difference does it make if they are two sisters? Didn''t you get the better of both Qianqian and me?" Ah? Lin Tian gasped internally, as Bu Mengting actually brought up that incident. This luck with women was proving to be difficult to enjoy. "It''s not the same. There was also a drunk buddy in my dorm then, that chubby guy, Guo Rong; you must remember him. I shared a room with him. We weren''t even in the same room, so nothing could have happened." "Really?" Bu Mengting, of course, remembered Guo Rong. Hearing that Lin Tian had shared a room with Guo Rong, she began to believe him a little. "My little wife Mengting, don''t be too narrow-minded. Do you know why men like women with bigger chests? Because they have room for acceptance. If you don''t have the heart to forgive, you won''t be endearing to others." "Oh? So that''s how it is. Then I''ll forgive you, but do you really dislike me?" "No, not at all. I can''t get enough of you. So, my little wife Mengting, about tonight..." Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian finally managed to appease Bu Mengting, but still, she shook her head. "I can''t tonight, I have relatives visiting. I''m not saying more, I''m heading back to the dorm." After saying that, Bu Mengting ran off. Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. Relatives visiting? Ah, what bad luck. With his happiness for the evening gone, Lin Tian felt somewhat dejected. But then he remembered the task of capturing Luo Li and suddenly had a stroke of inspiration, thinking of a good idea. Since divination couldn''t yield results about Luo Li, what if he tried divining about Chen Yixuan? With Chen Yixuan involved in Luo Li''s case, if he could divine some information about her, he might be able to pinpoint Luo Li''s whereabouts. He immediately set about divining and was shocked by the result. "Not good, Chen Yixuan is in danger." After settling the bill and leaving, Chen Yixuan was distracted by thoughts of Luo Li. She had never encountered such a bold and audacious thief during her time as a police officer. She vowed to catch Luo Li, though she knew it would be difficult on her own, placing her hopes instead in Lin Tian, who was a bit sleazy. Strangely enough, despite Chen Yixuan''s temperament and her usual treatment of men like Lin Tian with her fists, it was Lin Tian who managed to take advantage of her every time, and Chen Yixuan never considered putting him in his place. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lost in her thoughts, she wasn''t paying attention to where she was walking. As a result, she found herself at a construction site without noticing the ''Beware of Heavy Objects'' warning signs. This building seemed quite old and was scheduled for demolition and reconstruction. At this time, about half of the building had already been dismantled, and the workers had gone off duty, but there were a few people at the site. Seeing Chen Yixuan walking onto the site with her head down, the people there immediately tried to come over to stop her. However, before they could reach her, someone realized something was wrong. A piece of cement stone hung unsteadily above Chen Yixuan''s head and seemed about to fall. "Young lady, get out of the way!" A few people began to shout urgently but dared not approach any closer. Chen Yixuan, hearing the shouts, started to look around, still unaware that danger had descended upon her. The cement stone above her head shook further and completely fell off, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded. "Run! The stone is falling!" Chapter 255 Explode with One Punch Hearing the shout, Chen Yixuan blankly raised her head, then saw a huge chunk of concrete falling down. For a moment, Chen Yixuan was bewildered, "Where did this huge rock come from?" Then her mind went blank, as she seemed to stand right under the rock. Her mind screamed run, but her legs were rooted to the spot, and she seemed entirely petrified. The few people at the construction site were filled with regret. A beautiful young girl would vanish just like that, and there would probably be some unpleasant consequences for their construction site. "Bang!" With a loud noise, a man''s figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Yixuan, and he punched the giant concrete block. Seeing this, the workers were speechless, punching concrete, what was this madness? But in the next moment, everyone was stunned! The concrete block, under the man''s punch, seemed to turn into tofu dregs, completely shattered into bits spreading in the air. "My God, is that guy Superman?" "Nonsense, we Chinese don''t believe in Superman. He must be a master of innate skill." "I say he''s a celestial being." The surrounding people were abuzz with comments. The person involved, Chen Yixuan, had escaped from death, shaking all over. "Lin Tian, did you save me?" "This isn''t the place to talk, let''s get out of here fast." Just now, Lin Tian''s punch that exploded the huge concrete block had already been witnessed by many. Fortunately, they were unprepared beforehand, otherwise, it would have been troublesome if it had been caught on camera. He quickly disappeared while pulling along the still dazed Chen Yixuan. "Lin Tian, are you Superman? A single punch shattering that huge concrete block?" S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Having regained her composure, Chen Yixuan immediately showed a detective''s sharpness. Lin Tian shrugged helplessly. "This is my secret, so don''t ask about it. As for you, why weren''t you watching where you were going? If it hadn''t been for me, you would have been smashed into a pancake today." "I don''t know what happened, I was just thinking about Luo Li and unconsciously walked there. And of all times, that huge concrete block had to fall right when I was passing by." Talking about this, Chen Yixuan was also extremely frightened. If it hadn''t been for Lin Tian''s appearance, she would really have been turned into a pancake. In that situation, even if her legs hadn''t gone weak from fright, she wouldn''t have been able to escape. Unlucky? A thought suddenly flashed in Lin Tian''s mind. Previously, when he couldn''t divine Luo Li''s whereabouts, he had thought of an idea. By using divination on Chen Yixuan, who had been in contact with Luo Li, he could infer possible locations where Luo Li might appear. He hadn''t expected that divining Chen Yixuan would lead to such danger. Luckily, he had arrived just in time, otherwise, Chen Yixuan would have been tragically lost. Yet these coincidences made Lin Tian feel that something was odd. "Chen Yixuan, I think you might be cursed. Let''s find a place, and I''ll check it for you." "Cursed?" What a joke! Chen Yixuan, an atheist, thoroughly disbelieved in such spooky nonsense. "Lin Tian, stop joking around. I suspect I was just too engrossed in my thoughts." "No joke, just cooperate with me. Otherwise, you might end up losing your life in the next few days." Lin Tian''s serious expression made Chen Yixuan somewhat uncertain. "How do you know it''s a curse?" "Didn''t I tell you I use divination? I couldn''t divine Luo Li, so I thought maybe I could divine you to find clues about Luo Li. To my surprise, when I calculated, I found you were in grave danger." "No wonder you suddenly appeared, you were secretly divining me. But how can you be sure that I am cursed?" Recalling the recent incident, Chen Yixuan was still somewhat frightened. However, she began to believe a bit in Lin Tian''s mention of a curse. "I can''t explain it all at once, just let me check it out for you." "Then tell me, how are you going to check?" In fact, when Lin Tian was divining Chen Yixuan, he had already noticed something unusual. Of course, the system had alerted him. "A curse is not an ordinary thing, and checking it also requires special methods. Now we better find a more secluded place quickly." Chen Yixuan thought for a moment; a secluded place meant going inside a house. Not wanting to go to a hotel with Lin Tian, she took him to her home instead. "Wow, didn''t expect it, you''re quite the rich girl, owning your own house and all." Chen Yixuan''s house was not small, a two-bedroom and one living room apartment. "What rich young lady, this is the house I''m renting. Okay, we shouldn''t be disturbed here, start your inspection." Upon arrival, Lin Tian felt a bit hesitant. "The process of the inspection might be a bit¡­" "A bit what?" "Forget it, I''ll tell you beforehand so you''re prepared. For this inspection, you need to be nude; otherwise, it won''t work." Lin Tian spoke boldly, actually hoping to take this opportunity to feast his eyes. "What? Nude?" Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire Chen Yixuan was immediately stunned upon hearing this. "Lin Tian, you''re not tricking me, are you? Forget it, I don''t think there''s any curse. You just want to take advantage of me." "If you don''t believe it, that''s fine. Ah, no good deed goes unpunished, like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not recognizing a good person. I''m warning you, you''re carrying a curse, you''d better stay at home. But that might not work either; you could choke while eating, drown while bathing¡­" Lin Tian casually mentioned a few examples; Chen Yixuan''s face grew paler. "Stop, stop, stop! Lin Tian, you bastard, if I find out you are lying, you''re dead to me for life." Frightened by Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan finally believed him, mainly because she was terrified by a huge concrete block and because Lin Tian''s divinations had always been very accurate. Lin Tian, with eager eyes, was ready to enjoy the sight of the beautiful woman undressing. But Chen Yixuan instead slipped into the bedroom, locked Lin Tian out, and said she would call him after she undressed. Lin Tian didn''t mind, knowing he would see her sooner or later. "Okay, I''m nude now. You, you can come in." Lin Tian, with gleaming eyes, hurried in, but was slightly disappointed by the scene inside. "Hurry up and inspect. What are you daydreaming about?" "Oh." With that, he cleared his throat. "I''m starting the inspection now." This so-called inspection was actually just having the system scan Chen Yixuan. Soon the system completed its scan, and a grey mass appeared on Chen Yixuan''s body. Lin Tian naturally didn''t know what it was. The system, however, seemed very excited. "Target detected with Supernatural Energy. Would you like to collect it?" Supernatural Energy? How could Chen Yixuan have Supernatural Energy? She''s just a regular police officer. "How is it? Am I cursed or not?" "You are, and it''s pretty severe. It can cause you misfortune continuously for three days; any task might lead to an accident. I''ll try to resolve it now, and you need to cooperate with me fully." To collect this Supernatural Energy, a medium was necessary. Since the system resided within Lin Tian''s body, his body was the best medium. He reached out and placed his hand on Chen Yiran''s shapely buttocks. The person who reacted most strongly was actually Chen Yixuan. "What are you doing? Lin Tian, I asked you to resolve the curse, why are you touching me randomly?" An unusual sensation rose in Chen Yixuan''s heart, odd in that she didn''t lose her temper. She rationalized that Lin Tian was trying to resolve the curse, so she had to cooperate. "Do you think resolving a curse is that easy? Stay still and remember to cooperate with me." Lying on the bed, Chen Yixuan moved slightly. When the Supernatural Energy left her body just now, she felt oddly exhilarated. "Is it, is it done?" The sensation left Chen Yixuan feeling unusually enthusiastic. It was just a small cluster; there was no way it was resolved yet. "Not even close. The curse is extremely powerful, and I''ve just resolved a small part of it. You should feel it now." Even though she wanted to stop, she feared the curse might not be completely clear and might cause incidents like the huge concrete block again. Just then, Lin Tian''s hand moved again, this time to another spot. A long moan escaped Chen Yixuan''s mouth, and Lin Tian suddenly froze. "Are you okay?" "I''m fine, just hurry up." Chapter 256 Breaking the Curse After realizing how sensitive Chen Yixuan was, Lin Tian didn''t dare to act rashly. He had only wanted to take a little advantage, but if he had continued along those lines, he would not have been taking a small advantage at all. Afterwards, Lin Tian earnestly helped Chen Yixuan absorb the heterogeneous energy, and besides trembling, she didn''t make any other strange noises. It was not until the last wisp of heterogeneous energy had completely vanished that Lin Tian realized Chen Yixuan had made no sound because she had been biting her wrist tightly. "It''s done." "Thank you." Chen Yixuan spoke quietly, and Lin Tian''s eyes were involuntarily drawn to her body. After the recent absorption of supernatural energy, Chen Yixuan was like someone who had just undergone strenuous exercise, with a fine layer of sweat all over her body. Unlike the smell of men''s sweat, Chen Yixuan''s perspiration carried a faint fragrance, and her damp body added to her allure. It''s said that women are made of water, and a woman drenched in water is indeed a true beauty. "Aren''t you leaving? I''m going to get dressed." "Ah, oh." S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Only after being shouted at by Chen Yixuan did Lin Tian realize he should make his exit. Looking back three times with each step he took, Lin Tian''s mind was filled with images of Chen Yixuan''s voluptuous and fair body. As a police officer, Chen Yixuan naturally exercised regularly, giving her a more shapely body than the average woman, and her entire presence held a feline wildness. After Lin Tian left, Chen Yixuan quickly put on some clothes and hurried into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of water could be heard trickling from the bathroom. Lin Tian had hoped to catch a glimpse of Chen Yixuan bathing, but she was very vigilant, and the door to the bathroom was firmly shut, denying Lin Tian any chance. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire Listening to the sounds from the shower, the image of Chen Yixuan''s body became vivid in Lin Tian''s mind, causing him great restlessness. If Lin Tian didn''t have matters to discuss with Chen Yixuan, he probably would have left already. "Why haven''t you left yet?" Chen Yixuan''s bath time was short compared to other women''s. After finishing, she stepped out draped in a white bath towel. Seeing that Lin Tian was still there, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. "Although the curse has been removed, I''m still not clear about its source. Chen Yixuan, who have you been in contact with these past few days?" "Who could I have been in contact with? They''re all police officers, and of course, there''s you, this big rascal." The recent help Lin Tian offered to Chen Yixuan in removing the supernatural energy was quite embarrassing for her; it was an ordeal, and Lin Tian took quite a bit of advantage. Now, Chen Yixuan harbored no small amount of resentment towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s brow furrowed tightly; he wasn''t just asking casually. All along, Lin Tian had known only about his own superpower, but now that supernatural energy had appeared in Chen Yixuan''s body, he couldn''t help but take it seriously. Seeing Lin Tian looking so serious and not joking, Chen Yixuan also took on a serious demeanor. After thinking for a while with her head tilted, she finally said. "My life is pretty regular, just home and work every day. Other than colleagues, the outsiders I''ve been in contact with in the past few days¡ª" "Oh, right, Luo Li. We almost caught Luo Li based on clues before. But that guy was very cunning and managed to escape. When I tried to stop Luo Li, I don''t know how he did it, but I fell down and got hurt." Thinking back, the reason Chen Yixuan fell was inexplicable, but she was too busy chasing Luo Li to give it much thought. Now that she thought about it, it was probably during that time that Luo Li had cursed her. "Luo Li?" Lin Tian hadn''t expected that the supernatural energy in Chen Yixuan was manufactured by Luo Li. According to the system''s analysis, the main function of that mass of energy was to cause someone to be unlucky for three consecutive days. According to Chen Yixuan, she was about to catch Luo Li when she suddenly fell and injured her hand. It must have been at that moment that Luo Li used his superpower on Chen Yixuan. No wonder the divination failed to predict anything about Luo Li; it turns out this guy is no ordinary person. Actually being a superpowered individual, possessing a superpower that causes misfortune, is indeed quite a unique ability. Now it made sense why this thief Luo Li was so brazen and bold. After all, an ordinary person suddenly gaining extraordinary abilities would naturally become inflated with pride. Wasn''t Lin Tian cocky a few times himself after receiving the Supernatural Ability System? It was just that Lin Tian managed to control himself well, whereas Luo Li''s ego had inflated a little too much. "Yixuan, I can now confirm that Luo Li is the one who cursed you. I also understand why my divination failed before. This Luo Li is no ordinary person; you have to be careful and cautious when you try to catch him, and it would be best to notify me so I can help you," Being a superpowered individual himself, Lin Tian was well aware of the dangers posed by other superpowered individuals. They were not something that Chen Yixuan and the other police officers could deal with using just guns. Unfortunately, Chen Yixuan clearly didn''t take it to heart; she was somewhat defiant and frustrated. A curse? Next time I encounter Luo Li, I''ll blow his head off with one shot, then see how he curses me. Lin Tian certainly didn''t know what was going on in Chen Yixuan''s mind. He had found something good in the Supernatural Ability System that could ensure Chen Yixuan''s safety. "Yixuan, I have something for you. This thing can very effectively restrain a curse." Chen Yixuan stared at the yellow talisman paper Lin Tian pulled out, thinking to herself, Is this thing really useful? Why does it feel like something from a zombie movie that you stick on a zombie''s forehead? "How do you use this thing?" "You just need to carry it with you. If anyone curses you, the Vajra Talisman will activate automatically to protect you from harm." "You make it sound so mystical, but does it actually work? Should we test it out?" Chen Yixuan was clearly skeptical, but Lin Tian wouldn''t let her test it. Are you kidding me? He had exchanged Supernatural Points for that Vajra Talisman. After getting the Vajra Talisman, Lin Tian had only six Supernatural Points left. It was just enough, in case he failed to capture Luo Li and faced the mission''s penalty. "We can''t test it. I only have this one Vajra Talisman, and if you use it for a test, it''ll be gone." "Then thank you for that." Upon hearing this, Chen Yixuan immediately shelved the idea of testing it and started to think it might actually be a good thing. Otherwise, why would Lin Tian only have one? Rarity makes a thing precious, after all. Having handed over the Vajra Talisman to Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian had nothing more to do. However, he was definitely going to take matters into his own hands when it came to capturing Luo Li. After leaving Chen Yixuan''s home, Lin Tian did not return to school. He called Guo Rong and said he had something to deal with, asking Guo Rong to help him ask for a few days off. Guo Rong assured him there was no need to ask for leave and he would cover for Lin Tian. Lin Tian found a hotel near Chen Yixuan''s home, booked a room, and just as he entered the room, he received a phone call. "Lin Tian, is that you? It''s Zhang Ya." A pleasant voice came through the phone¡ªit was Zhang Ya. Remembering the beautiful girl, Lin Tian felt a headache coming on. Truth be told, Zhang Ya did possess remarkable beauty, even slightly surpassing He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. Unfortunately, Zhang Ya''s self-centered personality put Lin Tian off a bit, and he never felt any attraction toward her. "Zhang Ya, I''ve made it very clear to you, I have a girlfriend. There''s no chance between you and me." "You don''t have to lie to me. If you really didn''t like me, then why did you risk your life to save me that day?" That day at the zoo, Zhang Ya almost lost her life¡ªif not for Lin Tian, she would indeed have gone to another world. It was precisely that incident that made Lin Tian leave a mark in Zhang Ya''s heart. "I did that out of a sense of justice. Even if you were the ugliest creature, I would still have saved you." "Fine, then why did you give me your phone number?" "What kind of logic is that? Didn''t you ask me for my number? I gave it to you out of politeness. What does giving a phone number prove, anyway?" Lin Tian was beginning to find Zhang Ya''s way of thinking stranger by the moment. She actually believed Lin Tian had a thing for her just because he gave her his phone number. "Hmph, don''t lie to me. I know why you''re rejecting me. It''s just because you''re afraid your two girlfriends will get jealous, isn''t it? Let me tell you, Lin Tian, you belong to Zhang Ya. Sooner or later, you''ll realize that you only like me, Zhang Ya, and no one else." After finishing her piece, Zhang Ya hung up the phone directly. Lin Tian shook his head, feeling that this matter would likely become quite troublesome later on. After spending a night in the hotel, Lin Tian got up very early the next morning. He planned to secretly follow Chen Yixuan because it didn''t seem easy for him to encounter Luo Li on his own. Following Chen Yixuan meant the entire police system was helping Lin Tian find Luo Li. As expected, Chen Yixuan also got up early, had breakfast, and then went to work. Lin Tian followed her all the way without her noticing at all. In the past few days, Chen Yixuan and her team had made preparations for dealing with Luo Li. They split into several groups and quietly laid in wait on the streets. Chen Yixuan acted alone, and Lin Tian followed behind, silently cursing Chen Yixuan for her recklessness. Following Chen Yixuan into the downtown area, Lin Tian suddenly noticed that Chen Yixuan seemed a bit uncomfortable, her brow slightly furrowed, her gaze darting around. Lin Tian originally thought Chen Yixuan was sick, but after Chen Yixuan made a couple of rounds, she found a restroom and went inside. So she needed to use the restroom¡ªthat''s what had Lin Tian worried for so long. This type of thing, of course, Lin Tian felt it was not appropriate to follow her inside. But only a few minutes after Chen Yixuan entered, a loud scream suddenly came from inside. Lin Tian immediately rushed in. He had the Invisibility Technique and wasn''t afraid of being discovered. Once inside, he saw Chen Yixuan''s pants pulled down to her ankles, with a pair of underwear embroidered with cartoon characters hanging around her knees. Chapter 257 I am God It was a cockroach''s corpse. It looked like it had been squashed out of shape by Chen Yixuan a long time ago. Women really are strange creatures, actually being afraid of small animals like cockroaches. The thing is, if you''re scared, just scream, but you scream while squashing the cockroach to death. Logically, people who exercise regularly should have great physiques but rough skin. However, Chen Yixuan broke that stereotype, not only did she have a great physique, her skin was also absurdly fair and smooth. When Lin Tian had entered, most of his attention had gone to Chen Yixuan''s thighs. Fortunately, Lin Tian had good self-control and did not act rashly. Chen Yixuan indeed hadn''t noticed Lin Tian''s presence. Just then, Chen Yixuan''s walkie-talkie buzzed. "Luo Li spotted on Yinchuan Road, requesting backup, requesting backup." Luo Li spotted on Yinchuan Road? Chen Yixuan''s color changed, and she immediately rushed toward Yinchuan Road, she was actually nearby and could reach the scene quickly. Hearing that Luo Li had appeared, Lin Tian moved even faster than Chen Yixuan. On one hand, Luo Li was indeed an arrogant thief, and on the other, Lin Tian was on a mission of his own. This mission could not fail. Failure would mean a deduction of six Supernatural Points. Reaching Yinchuan Road as fast as he could, Lin Tian, however, found no trace of Luo Li. That''s when Lin Tian remembered that he actually didn''t know what Luo Li looked like at all. Oh, I should have kept following Chen Yixuan just now. At this time, Chen Yixuan had arrived at the scene based on the information provided by her colleagues. Luo Li was a short man with a pointy face and monkey-like features. However, at that moment, Luo Li was unusually arrogant. A few people were chasing after Luo Li, shouting to catch the thief. Although Luo Li was running, whenever someone blocked his way, he would aggressively charge into them. Strangely enough, despite Luo Li''s small size, even the larger and more robust obstacles could not withstand his charge. "Luo Li, stop! Or I will shoot!" Having already failed to capture Luo Li once, Chen Yixuan was not without ideas. After her first injury, she concluded that Luo Li was no ordinary man, and that extraordinary measures were necessary. Therefore, upon seeing Luo Li, Chen Yixuan decisively pulled out her handgun. "Haha, you think a handgun can hit the Thief God? You trash, waste material. If you can, catch me. Let me tell you, I am the Thief God Luo Li. Hahaha, I''ll continue stealing right in front of you cops." Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire The onlookers hearing Luo Li''s words, one by one, started moving back. Clearly, they were somewhat afraid of Luo Li. "Luo Li, don''t get cocky. You won''t escape today." In the end, Chen Yixuan did not fire her gun, after all, this was a bustling area and firing could have bad repercussions. Furthermore, if Luo Li dodged, the bullet might hit someone else, which could lead to terrible consequences. Realizing Chen Yixuan dared not fire, Luo Li became even more audacious and simply stopped running. "I remember you, girl. I had to leave in a hurry last time, let''s have a good time this time. Tsk, tsk, I just noticed, you''ve got a nice figure, girl." Seeing Chen Yixuan, Luo Li actually stopped. Chen Yixuan sneered, holstered her handgun, and slowly approached Luo Li. "Luo Li, you can''t escape this time!" Seeing the distance close, Chen Yixuan suddenly burst forward, doubling her speed, and kicked out at Luo Li. Who knew that Luo Li would react so quickly? With one hand, he preemptively blocked Chen Yixuan''s attacking left leg. Not only did he block it, he also grabbed and held onto Chen Yixuan''s leg. He indecently grabbed Chen Yixuan''s leg, his face showing an utterly enraptured expression. "Luo Li, don''t even think about escaping today." Chen Yixuan, even more furious, used all her strength to punch towards Luo Li''s face. Who knew Luo Li would just use one hand to block Chen Yixuan''s punch. No, he caught Chen Yixuan''s fist, then swiftly secured both her hands. His hand clenched like a vise, firmly gripping both of Chen Yixuan''s hands. Suddenly, Chen Yixuan was fully restrained by Luo Li. "Tsk, tsk, girl, both your hands are caught. Now, I''ll take the opportunity to feel the sensation of these big white rabbits of yours." Luo Li''s hand slowly moved towards Chen Yixuan''s full bosom, the motion slow, seemingly deliberately letting Chen Yixuan see it. "You''re Luo Li?" For some reason, seeing Luo Li filled Lin Tian with immense excitement. Similarly, when Luo Li saw Lin Tian, his eyes immediately filled with terror, as if Lin Tian was a primordial beast from which he could not escape fast enough. "Who are you?" Luo Li struggled briefly but found he couldn''t free himself from Lin Tian''s grip, becoming even more anxious. "The one here to take care of you." Lin Tian spoke calmly, thankful that he had arrived in the nick of time. Otherwise, he estimated Chen Yixuan would have been severely taken advantage of by Luo Li today. "Just with you!" Luo Li chuckled coldly and suddenly made a move, hurling Chen Yixuan, who was in his arms, at Lin Tian like a hidden weapon. If Lin Tian had dodged at that moment, Chen Yixuan would have certainly fallen hard. Lin Tian quickly made his decision and caught Chen Yixuan. But Luo Li took this opportunity to disappear in the blink of an eye. "Never mind me, go after Luo Li." Immediately embarrassed, she scrambled out of Lin Tian''s arms. She then urged Lin Tian to quickly catch Luo Li. "Don''t worry, he won''t get away." Lin Tian''s original goal was to capture Luo Li, and as long as Luo Li showed himself, he had numerous ways to snag him. Now that Chen Yixuan was okay, Lin Tian immediately chased after Luo Li. Both were extremely fast, with Chen Yixuan and a group of plainclothes police following behind. Soon, they lost sight of the two. "Kid, who are you? I, the Master Thief Luo Li, have I ever troubled you?" "Indeed, you haven''t troubled me, but you have troubled my woman. You dared to harass my woman just now, so of course, I need to teach you a lesson." In passing, Lin Tian referred to Chen Yixuan as his woman. And Luo Li actually believed it. "Luo Li, today you''re done for." Lin Tian fumed, hastening his pace twofold. He quickly caught up with Luo Li, who, seeing that he couldn''t shake off Lin Tian, turned around to fight him head-on. The two were evenly matched in strength. "You''re quite strong!" Lin Tian had the boost from the Supernatural Ability System, yet Luo Li''s strength was in no way inferior to Lin Tian''s. It seemed Luo Li''s superpower wasn''t limited to causing misfortune; he also possessed a superpower similar to the Ox Power Technique. The two exchanged blows, punches and kicks flying. Gradually, Lin Tian still managed to gain the upper hand, having amassed a significant amount of experience since he had acquired the Supernatural Ability System very early on. "Luo Li, meet your end!" Lin Tian delivered a flying kick that landed squarely on Luo Li''s chest. Luo Li spewed a mouthful of fresh blood and was flung backward through the air. "Surrender quietly, and I won''t make you suffer." "Hahaha, dream on. Do you know who I am? I am the Master Thief! I am a god, and you, a mere mortal, think you can capture me? You''re too naive!" The injured Luo Li, it seemed, had lost his mind and began proclaiming himself a god. However, in a sense, possessing superpowers did elevate Luo Li and Lin Tian to a godlike status. Lin Tian took a big step forward, closing in on Luo Li. Yet Luo Li appeared unconcerned, a cold smile playing across his face; Lin Tian understood. Luo Li simply had contempt for him, though he couldn''t figure out why Luo Li was still so confident. If he won''t be cooperative, I will just have to beat him into submission. Lin Tian was no policeman like Chen Yixuan; he was extremely displeased with Luo Li and intended to teach him a lesson. One fist, aimed right at Luo Li''s stomach, blasted forth. If this punch landed, Lin Tian believed Luo Li would definitely vomit out his last meal. Unfortunately, as good as it sounded, the punch missed. "How did this happen?" Lin Tian''s eyes widened as he watched his seemingly guaranteed punch miss its target. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Damn it, could Luo Li also know the Invisibility Technique?" Luo Li had vanished right under Lin Tian''s watch. With no target, the punch naturally missed its mark. Chapter 258 Let Go of Me Upon closer thought, Lin Tian felt it wasn''t Invisibility Technique. Because Invisibility isn''t synonymous with disappearance, and with Lin Tian''s speed just now, had Luo Li turned invisible, his fist should still have been able to hit Luo Li. But that blow had clearly missed. This meant that just now, Luo Li hadn''t used the Invisibility Technique but another superpower. Initially, Lin Tian thought Luo Li possessed only one cursed superpower, but now he realized Luo Li knew at least three superpowers. One, a superpower that causes bad luck for three days; two, similar to Lin Tian''s Ox Power Technique, which can enhance physique and strength; three, a superpower that allows one to instantly move a distance. No wonder this guy was so arrogant¡ªwith that instant move superpower, it indeed wasn''t easy for anyone to catch him. Even Lin Tian, who also possessed superpowers, was at a loss. "Where is Luo Li?" At that moment, Chen Yixuan, followed by plainclothes policemen, caught up. "He ran away." Lin Tian spread his hands, speaking helplessly. You let him get away too?" It seemed Chen Yixuan had very high expectations of Lin Tian, only to be disappointed that even Lin Tian had let him slip through. Lin Tian nodded. "That Luo Li is very tricky and has strange abilities. Chen Yixuan, I warn you, if you encounter Luo Li again, don''t act carelessly on your own. You must contact me immediately and let me deal with him. You really are no match for him." "Understood." Chen Yixuan, having almost been easily outmaneuvered by Luo Li just now, obediently nodded her head. With Luo Li gone, Chen Yixuan''s plainclothes team regrouped and scattered again. Chen Yixuan didn''t leave right away, as Lin Tian mentioned he had something he wanted to discuss with her. The two found a caf¨¦ and ordered two cups of coffee to talk things over slowly. "Chen Yixuan, that Luo Li is very dangerous and vicious. I am currently thinking of ways to deal with him." "Aren''t you supposed to be omnipotent? What''s up? Now that it''s Luo Li, you can''t handle it?" Chen Yixuan wasn''t mocking Lin Tian; it was mainly frustration from Luo Li escaping several times, a frustration that she was now venting on Lin Tian. "What do you mean ''can''t handle''? He was driven away by me. Not like someone nearly got taken advantage of by a mere thief." "What did you just say?" "Nothing, just, you know, drink your coffee." Having spent considerable time with both Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, Lin Tian knew better than to try to reason with women. "You''re right, I am indeed no match for that Luo Li. But this guy is just too arrogant, Lin Tian. You''re the one always full of clever ideas, right? Hurry up and think of a way to capture this Luo Li. I might be able to throw a little something your way." "A little something?" Lin Tian''s eyes immediately lit up, recalling the scene from last night when he helped Chen Yixuan dispel supernatural energy. But as he recalled a serious concern, his expression instantly turned cold. Poor Lin Tian, still lost in his fantasy, subconsciously responded. Realizing something was off, Lin Tian turned to see Chen Yixuan glaring at him, her eyes round in fury, looking murderous. "Lin Tian, if you dare to spy on me, I''ll kill you!" Chen Yixuan, clenching her fists, swung at Lin Tian, who swiftly dodged. "Chen Yixuan, calm down a bit." "Calm down my ass; you better confess to me! Were you also lying about that curse thing yesterday?" Chen Yixuan flew into a rage, dragging up the times Lin Tian had previously taken advantage of her, bursting out all at once today. Truly fighting, Chen Yixuan certainly was no match for Lin Tian. Regrettably, Lin Tian, feeling guilty, was defensively dodging everywhere and ended up in a disarray from being hit by Chen Yixuan. Seeing Chen Yixuan become more frenzied as she fought, Lin Tian knew this wasn''t an option. He reached out to grab Chen Yixuan''s wrist, pulling her hard, and she fell into his arms. "You pervert, let me go!" "Go away! You use divination to calculate this kind of stuff every day. It''s disgusting..." At that moment, Chen Yixuan''s mind went blank, while Lin Tian was feasting to his heart''s content, his hands weren''t idle either¡ªtaking the opportunity to tease her. "You, let me go," she said. Finally, Chen Yixuan regained her senses and pushed Lin Tian away. Her face flushed red and her heart jumped like a small deer. "This is a coffee shop, Officer Chen. Even if you don''t care about your image, at least maintain the image of the police," he chided. "It''s all because of you," she countered. Chen Yixuan''s indignation fizzled out as Lin Tian had stolen her first kiss. "Alright, alright, you were bound to give me some perks sooner or later. Consider this as an advance payment," he teasingly replied. "I said I''d give you perks, but I never agreed to a kiss," she protested. sea??h th§× n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "No worries, I''ll just consider that as your perk. Let''s drop this topic. We should focus on how to catch Luo Li instead," he changed the subject. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire As soon as Luo Li was mentioned, Chen Yixuan didn''t pursue the matter any further. "This Luo Li is quite skilled, particularly proficient in casting curses and also very strong. It''s indeed difficult to catch him; no wonder he''s so arrogant," she noted. Merely mentioning Luo Li made Chen Yixuan frown. It turns out, Chen Yixuan had been bested by Luo Li not once but twice. Glancing at Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan suddenly felt hopeful. Since Lin Tian had already taken a big advantage of her, she might as well make him exert more effort. "Lin Tian, you just took a big advantage of me. Regarding Luo Li, you must help, and you need to catch him quickly," she demanded. "Don''t worry. With Chen the Great Beauty commanding, I''ll give it my all. From our brief confrontation, I''ve pretty much figured out most of Luo Li''s tricks. As long as he doesn''t come up with something new, capturing him will be easy," he assured her. "Really?" she questioned. "Of course, why not make a bet? If I catch Luo Li within three days, how about you warm my bed?" he proposed. Ever since he''d seen Chen Yixuan''s body, this idea was no longer a joke to Lin Tian but a genuine hope. "Get lost! You''ve already taken your perk, don''t get greedy. I know you''re deliberately baiting me into a bet. I''m not falling for it. Just catch Luo Li quickly; I await your good news," she declared. Whether genuinely upset or not, Chen Yixuan walked away after she finished speaking. Lin Tian hurriedly went to pay the bill and ran out to catch up with Chen Yixuan. "Why chase after me instead of catching Luo Li?" she asked. "I wanted to remind you, it''s best not to go out alone recently. Luo Li is more dangerous than your perfume," he cautioned. "Are you worried about me? Aren''t you afraid your girlfriends would get jealous?" she teased. Chen Yixuan''s comment left Lin Tian slightly confused. It seemed Chen Yixuan knew quite a bit about his situation. After all, being a police officer, gathering such intelligence wasn''t too difficult for Chen Yixuan. "Anyway, take care of yourself. I need to figure out how to deal with Luo Li," she said, parting ways. After separating from Chen Yiran, Lin Tian didn''t rush back to school and walked around the streets for a while. Consequently, he encountered Yan Yan performing magic tricks. This magician girl was still showcasing her forte, coin tricks. But her skills had improved, earning applause, and quite a few people even gave her tips. Lin Tianjue figured the guys were probably not tipping for Yan Yan''s magic performance excellence but because she was beautiful. The majority of the tipper were men. Seeing Yan Yan turn her head, Lin Tian immediately lowered his head and quietly moved away. Yan Yan was more bothersome than Zhang Ya; Lin Tian was already upset because of Luo Li and didn''t want to deal with Yan Yan. He leisurely made his way back to school only to bump into Bu Mengting. What surprised Lin Tian was that Bu Mengting was not alone; beside her was a guy. This man was very handsome, tall, and the clothes he wore spoke of a good family background. "Mengting, I fell for you the first time I saw you. You are the goddess of my dreams, I can feel it. We must have been married in a past life. Be my girlfriend, Mengting. I''ll protect you for a lifetime!" he confessed. Before he got close, Lin Tian heard the man''s cheesy declaration. So, he''s trying to steal my girl, and he looks quite capable too. A wave of anger rose inside Lin Tian, yet Bu Mengting directly rejected the man. Chapter 259 Let Her Go Rejected directly by Bu Mengting, the tall boy''s face turned a bit ugly. Lin Tian had thought that this guy would know it was difficult and retreat, but the result took Lin Tian by surprise. "It''s okay, we just met a bit late. In time, you''ll realize who is the man destined for you." Hearing this, Lin Tian couldn''t help but curl his lip, step forward, and directly rub Bu Mengting''s shoulders, looking at the guy and snorting coldly, "This is my wife, who the hell are you to interfere? Get lost!" "Hey! You stop right there!" The boy glanced and showed a look of disdain. "Someone like you doesn''t deserve Mengting. Mengting, you better leave him soon. Just a ''loser'' is all he is!" Hearing this, Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of cold light flashing in his eyes: "Do you believe I can make you crawl away?" "Crawl? Save you? Come on then!" Saying that, the boy suddenly stepped forward, pointing at Lin Tian''s forehead, all arrogance! The boy was quite tall, over one meter eighty, and his body was also strong, giving a very oppressive look! Seeing the finger pointing at his head, Lin Tian''s face turned cold, his hand flickering! Lin Tian suddenly grabbed the boy''s finger and violently twisted it! Crack! "Ah..." Ning Cheng cried out in pain, his hand almost got broken by Lin Tian! Ning Cheng''s face turned ashen, stretching his hand to block Lin Tian''s fist, his right leg kicked out like lightning, hoping to knock Lin Tian down with one blow. Unexpectedly, Lin Tian''s punch was incredibly powerful; he couldn''t stop it with both hands, and Lin Tian struck him in the face. His leg had just been raised, but his body lost its balance, completely deformed his movement, unable to kick Lin Tian. "How can you..." Ning Cheng was about to comment on how strong Lin Tian was, but Lin Tian didn''t give him a chance to speak, knocking Ning Cheng down with three punches and two kicks. "Kid, go back to your mom''s womb and practice more!" Lin Tian had actually held back, or else he would have disabled the guy''s hand in one go! "Hmph ¡ª " Ning Cheng obviously didn''t accept defeat, still wanting to talk tough, but Lin Tian kicked him in the stomach again. The severe pain made Ning Cheng shut up and realize that the current situation was beyond him. After dealing with Ning Cheng, Lin Tian happily left, holding Bu Mengting. "Damn, just because he''s a bit strong, what''s so great about that." Ning Cheng glared at Lin Tian, obviously still resentful towards him. But he didn''t dare to speak out, only resentfully glancing at Lin Tian before leaving in a sorry state! "Ah, my adorable wife Mengting is too charming. I need to think of something, or else someone might snatch her away." Watching Ning Cheng''s disgraced departure, Lin Tian giggled! "You dare! Looks like you need a lesson. Today I''m going to teach you a lesson properly." Upon hearing that, Lin Tian pretended to be angry, pulling Bu Mengting and walking outside the school. Why go outside the school, no need to think with your head to guess. In the beginning, Bu Mengting struggled a bit, but later simply let Lin Tian pull her along. "Lin Tian, I heard you skipped class today?" "I did skip class. I was helping to catch that thief Luo Li. This thief is too audacious; I encountered him today, but he managed to escape." "Humph, went to see that policewoman again." Bu Mengting snorted and stopped walking. "I was helping catch Luo Li, don''t you know how dangerous he is?" "You go to your policewoman then, I''m going back to the dorm." Just as Bu Mengting was about to turn to go back to the dorm, Lin Tian couldn''t let her leave just like that. Quickly hugging Bu Mengting, he started coaxing her with sweet words. "Mengting, my dear wife, don''t you trust me? Look, I rushed back to find you immediately after I was done. You think I ran into you by chance, but I came especially for you." "Still, I need to go back to the dorm." "Don''t mess around; this place is near the school, and there are a lot of people watching. Besides, didn''t I tell you yesterday? I have ''that''. It''s not possible these next few days." Upon hearing this, Lin Tian finally remembered. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Peacefully taking Bu Mengting back to the dorm, the unsatisfied Lin Tian could only return to his own dorm. Halfway there, Lin Tian suddenly received a text message. Initially, when he saw the message was from Zhang Ya, Lin Tian wasn''t planning on looking closely, but the first two words of the message were actually "Help me." Lin Tian quickly opened the text message, looked at the content, his face changed drastically, and he turned and ran out of the campus. Maple Leaf Bar. Following the address given by Zhang Ya, Lin Tian found the place. "Who are you? This private room is already taken. If you want a private room, please find another one," Lin Tian found the private room Zhang Ya had mentioned in the text, but at the doorway stood two waiters, standing like door gods at the entrance. Seeing Lin Tian trying to enter the private room, they reached out and blocked Lin Tian. "Scram!" In the urgency of the situation, Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered with talk. With one kick each, he sent the two waiters tumbling to the ground. Standing outside the door, Lin Tian could faintly hear the voices inside! "Sweetie, just behave and listen, today Scarface will guarantee you a good time!" That was a man''s lecherous laugh! "Scream, scream as loud as you can, no one will come to save you." "Let her go!" Inside the room, a Scarfaced man was pinning Zhang Ya down! Seeing this scene, Lin Tian was furious, his expression turning icy cold. "Kid, who the hell are you? I''m playing with my own woman, what''s it to you?" Looking up, Lin Tian was already upon him. One hand tightly gripped Scarface''s wrist. "I despise scum like you the most!" Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire After saying this, Lin Tian kicked him. Scarface hadn''t expected Lin Tian to be so ruthless and to start hitting without much talk. The kick was totally unexpected and unavoidable. Scarface was sent sprawling to the ground with his face making intimate contact with the floor. "Are you okay?" Zhang Ya seemed to have had some drinks and was slightly dazed. Hearing Lin Tian''s words, she didn''t make a sound but just plunged into Lin Tian''s arms, sobbing loudly. What Lin Tian couldn''t see, however, was the flicker of slyness and triumph in Zhang Ya''s eyes! It seemed she had successfully orchestrated her plot! On the ground, Scarface, who had landed face-first, already had a face marred by scars, and now it was even more bloody and wretched, with blood flowing over the scars, creating a pitiful sight. Seeing Lin Tian helping Zhang Ya get dressed, Scarface thought it was a good opportunity, stealthily reached for a wine bottle beside him and suddenly burst forward. Swinging the wine bottle, he smashed it down on Lin Tian''s head. "Fucking little bastard!" With a ferocious move, but Lin Tian''s reaction was extremely fast, he reached out and caught Scarface''s wrist. With a twist of his hand, the wine bottle fell from Scarface''s hand. Lin Tian caught it smoothly and swung it back at Scarface''s head. "You know how to use a wine bottle? This is how you should use it!" Bang! With that hit, the wine bottle shattered, and Scarface''s head bled just like his face. Then, Lin Tian kicked at Scarface''s stomach. Scarface was sent flying against the wall and then landed on the floor. Even then, Lin Tian wasn''t done with Scarface. He put Zhang Ya on the sofa, then chased after him and stamped on Scarface''s face with his foot. Seeing Lin Tian''s foot descending, Scarface panicked! "Wait! Big brother, wait! I have something to say, I have something to say." As Lin Tian''s shoe sole was about to stamp on his face, Scarface''s voice softened in panic. "Speak quickly, spit it out quickly," "Actually, I never intended to do anything bad today..." However, Zhang Ya on the sofa was anxious. Before Scarface could speak, she hastily said: Lin Tian''s eyes narrowed slightly, a chill flashing in his eyes, "You, I will rid the people of a menace today and cripple your harmful tools." "Big brother, Hero! Please, no? I''ll tell you everything. I''m not really a bad guy, it was this girl, she asked me to act bad," Upon hearing that Lin Tian was going to cripple him, Scarface became terrified and quickly pointed at Zhang Ya and shouted loudly: "It''s her! She''s the one behind all this!" "Hmm?" Hearing this, Lin Tian was taken aback! Chapter 260 You Will Regret This Scar Brother directly took a tote bag from behind the sofa, which was filled with bright red banknotes. Was this entire setup actually orchestrated by Zhang Ya? Lin Tian turned around and looked coldly at Zhang Ya. "Lin Tian, don''t believe these villains. They just want to bully me. This money, probably extorted from others, is definitely not mine." With Zhang Ya saying that, Lin Tian didn''t know whom to believe anymore. Seeing this, Scar Brother immediately became anxious as Lin Tian seemed to believe Zhang Ya''s words. The Lin Tian in front of him was the man who could ruin his life. If Lin Tian was convinced he was lying, his life would be over. "I have proof, and my brothers can vouch for me." The two subordinates Lin Tian had knocked over earlier now crawled in. "Yes, yes, we can testify. This girl, she approached Scar Brother herself. She said she wanted us to play the bad guys because her boyfriend really likes heroes saving beauties." "Lin Tian, you have to believe me. Why would I pay these people to do this? If you hadn''t come, wouldn''t I have walked right into a trap?" Lin Tian inclined to believe Zhang Ya a bit more and coldly said, "Exactly, you are all in this together, who knows if what you''re saying is even true?" "Big Brother, I, I have a video of it. When this girl was talking to our boss, I recorded it, fearing that if the police caught us, I''d have evidence. Once you see the video, you''ll understand everything." Suddenly, a waiter took out a cellphone, claiming to have a video. Zhang Ya suddenly made a move, lunging at the cellphone, seemingly trying to grab it. Lin Tian was quicker than Zhang Ya and got the phone first. "Lin Tian, you have to believe me, they''re all deceiving you." Seeing the phone in Lin Tian''s hands, Zhang Ya''s face looked a bit unnatural. "Of course, I believe you, but I also want to know what exactly is going on." Hearing the commotion, Zhang Ya and Scar Brother began to act. "I''m saying, how coincidental. I kick open the door, and your dress just happens to tear. Zhang Ya, what in the world are you trying to do?" "You bunch of idiots, can''t even act properly. You''re all useless." Seeing her scheme exposed, Zhang Ya cursed at Scar Brother and his men. Then she turned around, glared at Lin Tian, and said arrogantly, "The problem is I don''t like you! And I already have a girlfriend!" Lin Tian, expressionless, touched his nose! After saying that, Zhang Ya looked threateningly at Lin Tian! Zhang Ya''s father, Zhang Tian, is a famous billionaire in Wu''an City, and Zhang Ya had developed a domineering personality from childhood! Whatever she set her sights on, she had to get it! And she wouldn''t allow her things to be shared with others! Ever since Lin Tian had saved her, he had become her ''possession''! Hearing Zhang Ya''s words, Lin Tian frowned and looked at her, a flash of disgust in his eyes! Even considering killing Mengting and Qianqian? Thinking this, a flash of murderous intent crossed Lin Tian''s eyes! Lin Tian, disgusted, pushed Zhang Ya away, having felt there was something off about her character.. Today, she even specifically set up this trap to lure him here. If these thugs hadn''t been intimidated by him, Lin Tian might have been completely fooled by Zhang Ya. Just from her words earlier, if it weren''t for her being a woman, Lin Tian would have crippled her right there! Lin Tian gave Zhang Ya a cold glance and said coldly: "Don''t let me see you in the future, and take back what you just said, or else..." After saying that, Lin Tian snorted coldly and turned to leave the bar. Zhang Ya was so furious that she couldn''t stand it and eventually followed Lin Tian out of the bar. "Lin Tian, stop right there!" Hearing Zhang Ya''s voice, Lin Tian not only didn''t stop, he sped up. As for this woman, Lin Tian planned to stay as far away as possible and never wanted to see Zhang Ya again. Zhang Ya sped up, ran in front of Lin Tian, and stretched out her arms to block his way. "I told you to stop, didn''t you hear me?" "Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" "I am Zhang Ya, the most beautiful woman in the world. Lin Tian, I''m giving you one last chance, do you want to be my boyfriend?" "No need, I don''t need your chance!" Lin Tian attempted to bypass Zhang Ya, but she didn''t move. "You''ll regret this, you definitely will. Listen, Lin Tian, someday, I, Zhang Ya, will make you kneel at my feet, begging me!" Watching Zhang Ya''s crazed expression, Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit scared. This feeling came inexplicably, as even Luo Li, who also had a supernatural ability, had never made Lin Tian feel this way. Zhang Ya was an ordinary woman, so why could she make Lin Tian feel a hint of fear? "Hehe..." S§×ar?h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian sneered and walked away. The next day when he went to class, he heard many people saying that the city was going to host a college swimming competition. Wu''an University was certainly going to participate, but there were only five spots. The school planned to hold a swimming competition internally to select the top five, who would then represent Wu''an University in the Wu''an City college swimming competition. Regarding these matters, Lin Tian was not very enthusiastic. His swimming skills weren''t great; he just knew the dog paddle. However, Guo Rong was very excited, constantly asking about various things related to the swimming competition. "Do you want to participate in the swimming competition?" "No, with this body of mine, wouldn''t participating in a swimming competition be a joke?" "Who says so? Fat people have a natural advantage in swimming. Bigger volume, greater buoyancy." Guo Rong argued. "Come off it, I''m aware of my own limits," said Lin Tian dismissively. "Then why are you so concerned about it?" Guo Rong was infatuated, seemingly already seeing countless girls in swimsuits walking past him. Fatty wasn''t wrong; this swimming competition indeed promised a feast for the eyes. Persuaded by Guo Rong, Lin Tian was somewhat tempted. That evening, all the roommates actually came back to the dormitory. "How did you guys know to come back to the dorm today?" Guo Rong was quite surprised, while Feng Jiabao said with a sly smile. "Isn''t the school holding a swimming competition? We came back to cheer." Looking at the sly smile on his face, no one believed he had come back sincerely to cheer. Probably he had the same idea as Guo Rong, coming back to enjoy the view. Guo Rong looked at Feng Jiabao with disdain. "Boss, you''re really hypocritical. Why can''t you be more straightforward like me? I just want to go see the beauties." Having not seen each other for a few days, the guys had a lot to talk about. Just then, Lin Tian''s phone suddenly rang. "Lin Tian, are you asleep?" Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire "Not yet." Bu Mengting had called him proactively. Could it be that past incident was already settled? "Then come out, I have something to tell you." "Okay." After hanging up, Lin Tian immediately noticed the other three looking at him strangely. "Uh, I''ve got something to take care of. You guys carry on." Saying this, he rushed out of the dormitory. On the sports field, Lin Tian obediently held Bu Mengting''s hand. It wasn''t that Lin Tian didn''t want to take any more advantage, but Bu Mengting told him there were still unresolved issues, so he needed to behave himself. "Mengting dearest, what''s up?" "Do you know about the city hosting a college swimming competition?" Bu Mengting suddenly brought up the college swimming competition, and Lin Tian suddenly had a bad feeling. He obediently nodded, indicating he knew. "I want to participate in the swimming competition." "No, no," Lin Tian immediately shouted, joking. If she swam in front of so many people, his girlfriend could be ogled by everyone, which was not a good deal. "Why not?" Lin Tian was stunned to learn that Bu Mengting wanted to compete for the "Triple-A Student" award. "What''s the benefit of being a Triple-A student?" "You can get a scholarship." Seeing Bu Mengting''s demeanor, she clearly had planned this for a long time. "Then do you have confidence in ranking well?" "Of course, I''m really good in water. You just don''t know. I might not get first place, but I should make it into the top three. By the way, the school will hold a preliminary competition first. You have to come and cheer for me, okay?" Chapter 261 Trash Bu Mengting is Lin Tian''s woman, so naturally, Lin Tian had to go and cheer for her. But the thought of his beautiful little wife Mengting wearing a swimsuit for all those beasts in the school to see made Lin Tian somewhat uncomfortable. After talking with Bu Mengting for a while, Lin Tian received a call from Chen Yixuan. "Whose call is it?" It seemed that women had a natural intuition; she asked with a very bad tone. Lin Tian thought that he definitely couldn''t hide it, so he simply told the truth. "Chen Yixuan''s. I guess it''s probably some progress on the Luo Li case." "She catches thieves, what''s that got to do with you? Are you her leader? Does she have to report to you? Don''t answer it." For some reason, Bu Mengting had a big problem with Chen Yixuan. Initially, when Bu Mengting found out about the relationship between Lin Tian and He Qianqian, she didn''t react as much as she did now. Lin Tianjue thought it was because Bu Mengting understood He Qianqian, but since she didn''t understand Chen Yixuan, she acted this way. "Mengting, my little wife, what if Officer Chen has something really important?" In front of Bu Mengting, Lin Tian didn''t dare to be too affectionate, he simply referred to her as Officer Chen. "I''m sick of you, I''m going back to the dormitory, I need to prepare really well for the selection competition these few days." After watching Bu Mengting go back to her dorm, Lin Tian finally answered Chen Yixuan''s call. "Lin Tian, you bastard! What are you doing? Why aren''t you answering your phone after so long?" "Sorry, Yixuan, I was dealing with a very important matter." "A very important matter? I bet you were rolling around in bed with a woman again." "How did you know? So, do you want to join in?" "Go to hell. Can you be serious for once? Today, Luo Li committed another crime, and although we surrounded him, he still got away." Lin Tian had previously defeated Luo Li, but Luo Li used his superpower of Instant Teleportation to escape. He had thought that the guy would lay low for a while, but unexpectedly, he showed up again so soon. "Yixuan, let me be straight with you, that guy isn''t normal, he has a magical power. You police will never be able to catch him." "Then you need to act fast." "I can''t do anything right now either. That guy has a special ability, he can teleport a certain distance instantly. I almost caught him that day, but he teleported and ran away." "Instantaneous Movement?" Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire The voice of Chen Yixuan on the phone raised by a decibel, obviously stunned by Lin Tian''s words. "Yes, Instantaneous Movement. Otherwise, how could I possibly let him get away? If we don''t find a way to counteract his ability to teleport, there''s no way I can catch him." "So we''re just gonna watch him steal things? No, that guy doesn''t just steal anymore, he''s brazenly started robbing now. I really don''t know what else he''ll do if we let him get away with it." Lin Tian could understand Chen Yixuan''s worries. Lin Tian even felt that Chen Yixuan''s estimate was relatively conservative; a person with superpowers committing crimes would become more twisted and darker. That''s because, with superpowers, the police basically can''t catch him. As for the matter with Luo Li, Lin Tian felt a bit helpless, and in the end, he could only remind Chen Yixuan to be careful. In the swimming hall, as the selection competition approached, the place became increasingly lively. Lin Tian sat on the side, watching Bu Mengting move through the water like a fish, thinking to himself that little wife Mengting looked even more tempting in a swimsuit. "Lin Tian, you''re worthless!" Just as Lin Tian was deeply engrossed, a man suddenly appeared beside him. A deep voice with a husky tone had a unique magnetism. "Who did you just call worthless?" Lin Tian looked up and saw a tall young man with a sunny face and deep, night-sky-like eyes. It was Ning Cheng, the one who confessed to Bu Mengting that day; surprisingly, he dared to appear in front of Lin Tian. "Of course, I''m talking about you, you worthless guy, you only dare to watch others swim from the edge of the pool." sea??h th§× N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Ning Cheng looked down on Lin Tian with contempt, and Lin Tian had to hold back his urge to beat Ning Cheng up again. "Do you know that you''re asking for a beating?" "Hahaha, what else can you do besides showing off your brute strength? This is a swimming hall, a place for swimming. Do you even know how to swim?" "Whether I know how to swim or not, what''s it to you?" Lin Tian gave Ning Cheng a disdainful glance, thinking that kid apparently hasn''t had enough of a beating. "I''ve said it before, you''re not worthy of Mengting, you''re just a brute. If you''re capable, why don''t you compete with me in swimming? Not only will I be number one in the whole school, but I''ll also be number one in the Wu''an City swimming competition. Now you see the gap between us, right?" "Wait until you''ve done it, then say that." "Trash, just watch me perform from the poolside." Ning Cheng said arrogantly and strutted into the changing room. Lin Tian flipped him off and continued to enjoy the graceful figure of Bu Mengting, and of course, occasionally glanced at the other mermaids. Guo Rong was right, this swimming selection competition is indeed a treat. "Wow!" Suddenly, several mermaids in the water stopped and stared wide-eyed at a certain spot on the shore. Lin Tian followed their gaze and saw Ning Cheng, now changed into swimwear. At that moment, Ning Cheng was wearing just swim trunks, his upper body bare. That''s when Lin Tian realized that Ning Cheng was not only tall but very fit as well. The muscles on his body were chiseled, not only did he have perfect pecs, but the eight-pack abs also formed a perfect shape. "So muscular!" "What a hunk!" "Too handsome, I want to be his girlfriend." A group of mermaids all grew eager, and Lin Tian was surprised to find even Bu Mengting sneaking several glances his way. Damn it, it''s just a big build, what''s so impressive about that. After obtaining the Supernatural Ability System, Lin Tian indeed had abilities beyond ordinary people. However, his body hadn''t undergone system training, and his muscles weren''t as perfect as Ning Cheng''s. Appearance-wise, Lin Tian admitted he didn''t have the market appeal like Ning Cheng. "Splash!" Ning Cheng dived into the water, then like a flying fish, swam underwater for over ten meters before surfacing. He stretched his arms and interlocked them, moving with an astonishing speed in the water. "So amazing, his movements are just like the swimmers in the world swimming competitions." "Exactly, so fast. It looks like the first place in our school is definitely his." "He''s practically China''s Phelps." Lin Tian grew even more annoyed as he noticed that Bu Mengting wasn''t just sneaking glances this time, but was staring at Ning Cheng for several minutes. It''s just fast swimming, what''s so great about that. "Ning Cheng! Ning Cheng! Ning Cheng!" Soon, many people in the swimming hall began shouting Gao Yong''s name loudly. Ning Cheng, like a star, waved at everyone from the water, and what annoyed Lin Tian the most was that Ning Cheng even blew Bu Mengting a kiss directly. Many people saw this, and Bu Mengting''s face turned red with embarrassment, probably thinking of Lin Tian watching, she swam directly to the edge and climbed out. Bu Mengting''s swimsuit was chosen by Lin Tian, comparatively conservative, the kind that was one-piece. But a swimsuit is still a swimsuit, even a one-piece would show arms and thighs. Bu Mengting had an excellent figure to begin with, and upon wearing the swimsuit, it was devilishly curvaceous. As she got out, Bu Mengting attracted a lot of attention. A chorus of swallowing sounds arose here and there. However, Bu Mengting made a beeline for Lin Tian, who handed her the large towel he''d prepared beforehand for her to drape over herself. "I didn''t expect that Ning Cheng to be so good at swimming. What are we going to do, Lin Tian? I feel I might not be able to get third place in the city." Witnessing Ning Cheng''s performance, Bu Mengting seemed a bit worried. "He''s good at swimming?" Lin Tian''s point of focus was obviously not in line with Bu Mengting''s. Bu Mengting was taken aback, then covered her mouth and giggled. "Are you jealous? But Ning Cheng really is good, I think he must have gone through specialized training." "Just so-so." "If you''re so unimpressed, why don''t you give it a try?" "Why swim now? I''m not that kind of show-off person, I''ll wait for the selection match. Then I''ll show him what swimming really is." Lin Tian initially hadn''t planned on competing, but seeing his rival Ning Cheng stealing the spotlight annoyed him. He decided to join the competition to eclipse Ning Cheng. "What? You''re going to join the swimming competition?" "Yeah, I want everyone to know, I''m better than Ning Cheng at everything." Lin Tian was clearly provoked by Ning Cheng''s earlier words; it was a man''s showdown. "Then you better hurry up and sign up, I heard the registration deadline is tomorrow." "Ah, then I''m going now." After filling out a few forms, Lin Tian was officially signed up. Coming out, he happened to run into Ning Cheng. "You signed up for the competition?" Ning Cheng was also surprised to see Lin Tian. Facing his rival, Lin Tian certainly couldn''t show any weakness. "Of course. Didn''t you say you were better than me? I''m entering the competition to tell you, you''re not better than me at anything!" "Hahaha, alright then. Let''s see who''s better. Mengting, I''ll show you that your boyfriend is nothing special." Ning Cheng didn''t forget to flaunt his presence in front of Bu Mengting before he left. This disgusting guy, even calling Mengting out. The more Lin Tian thought, the angrier he became, more determined than ever to make Ning Cheng lose face during the selections. "Lin Tian, there''s nothing between me and that Ning Cheng, you''ve always been the most perfect man in my heart. Why don''t you just drop out of the swimming competition?" If Bu Mengting didn''t know that Lin Tian was joining the swimming competition for her by that point, then she really would be brainless. In Bu Mengting''s heart, of course, there was only Lin Tian, no place for Ning Cheng. So she didn''t want Lin Tian to embarrass himself, wanted him to withdraw from the race. "Little wife Mengting, how can you have so little confidence in your man? Have you forgotten that your man can take on two at once?" Lin Tian slapped Bu Mengting''s buttocks with his hand, and with her face blushing red, she glared at Lin Tian before lowering her head and running back to the dormitory. Chapter 262 Too Weak "Lin Tian, are you really going to participate in the swimming selection competition?" When Lin Tian announced he would enter the swimming competition, the other three people in the dorm were all slightly surprised. The group had been together for a while now, and they knew that Lin Tian typically had little interest in such competitions. "Of course, I''m not just going to participate in the swimming competition, I''m going to win first place." "Then we must cheer for you." "I propose we have a pre-competition rally tonight. Let''s all have a big meal together to cheer on Lin Tian." Guo Rong, a true foodie at heart, was the first to think of having a feast. However, this suggestion received support from the others, and the four of them left the university arm in arm. It was the same barbecue stall, though it was no longer just Lin Tian and Guo Rong. The four were enjoying themselves when two beauties showed up. Chen Mengyi and her sister, the presidents of the Broadcasting Club, were quite famous at Wu''an University. "Handsome guys? Can we join you?" Chen Yiran was the one speaking. Lin Tian didn''t expect that going out for barbecue twice would result in running into Chen Mengyi and her sister. Could this be fate? "Certainly, certainly. It''s our honor to be in the company of two beauties." With Feng Jiabao around, Guo Rong didn''t need to stand up and could comfortably remain the foodie he was. Chen Yiran pulled Chen Mengyi down to sit unceremoniously, and made sure to position her sister next to Lin Tian. "You guys seem really lively today. Got any good news?" "Hehe, our dorm''s number one handsome guy, Lin Tian, is going to enter the university swimming selection and aims to get a spot to join the citywide university swimming league." Sear?h the N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Feng Jiabao patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, looking quite optimistic about his chances. "Lin Tian, you''re that amazing? Sister, isn''t your Broadcasting Club hosting the selection competition?" "Actually, I was hoping to ask you guys for help, but now that Lin Tian is competing, I''ll have to ask someone else." It turned out Chen Mengyi and her sister weren''t there by chance; they came looking for them with a purpose. "No way, Chen the Great Beauty. Lin Tian might be in the swimming competition, but the rest of us aren''t. We''re free to help out." Feng Jiabao immediately showed his enthusiasm, knowing the Broadcasting Club was teeming with beauties. "Hey, that''s not right. If I''m competing, shouldn''t you be cheering for me? Are you really choosing beauties over buddies?" "Helping out at the Broadcasting Club, we can cheer you on even more." Under Feng Jiabao''s leadership, Lin Tian was promptly sold out. After eating their fill of barbecue and returning to the dorm, Lin Tian received a call from Bu Mengting. "The selection competition is tomorrow, are the others in your dorm going to cheer for you?" "Ah, them? They probably won''t be cheering for me." "No way, you''re all from the same dorm, that''s so disloyal. The sisters from my dorm are all going to cheer for me. Originally, we were planning a mixer with your dorm. Looks like that''s not happening now." Lin Tian coughed deliberately, then said loudly, "Ah, that''s too bad. I heard your dorm is full of beauties." Feng Jiabao, with his keen ears, overheard and immediately grabbed Lin Tian. "What''s up, Lin Tian?" "It''s nothing, my wife''s dorm is going to cheer for her. I thought you guys would cheer for me too, so they wanted to have a mixer. But since you''re all going to help out at the Broadcasting Club, that probably won''t happen." "No way, we can''t let that chance slip away. I''ve heard that sister-in-law''s dorm is famously filled with beauties." Feng Jiabao was well-informed; he knew all about the beauties on campus. Since Bu Mengting was close to Lin Tian, he had naturally made it his business to know a bit about her dorm, which wasn''t described as a beauty dorm for no reason; all four girls there were like heavenly immortals. "So, are you going to help the Broadcasting Club or cheer for me?" "Of course, we''ll cheer for Tian Ge!" Feng Jiabao shamelessly started calling him ''Bro Tian,'' and Lin Tian gained a new understanding of just how shameless Feng could be. "And what about the Broadcasting Club?" "Ah, don''t worry. With my wide network, it''s easy to find a few replacements. I''ll handle it. Guys, let''s stick to the mixer with our sister-in-law''s dorm." Guo Rong, of course, was all for it, while Lin Tao was indifferent. Read latest chapters at My Virtual Library Empire After a brief discussion, they made their decision. "Mengting, they''ve heard about the mixer and have changed their minds; they said they''re too busy not to mix with you. The power of a beauty''s face is unparalleled." "Alright, let''s do it together tomorrow." Wu''an University''s selection competition had high popularity, but not many competitors. After all, swimming is different from running, basketball, and other sports. It relies heavily on facilities and doesn''t have as broad an audience. The high popularity was all because of the spectators coming to see the beauties. Several leaders of the school took turns speaking, and then with the Broadcasting Club''s hosting, the selection competition began. To Lin Tian''s surprise, there were actually more female competitors than males. All together, there were about thirty to forty participants, split into three groups. The competition was for the 100-meter freestyle swim. Since all the competitors were university students, it wasn''t a formal swimming meet; overall, it was about who could swim fastest, regardless of the stroke used. ``` "Wow, so many beautiful girls!" Feng Jiabao sat next to a beauty and screamed loudly. This beauty was naturally Bu Mengting''s roommate, named Liu Mei. Initially, a few beauties had high hopes for Lin Tian''s roommates after Mengting said Lin Tian was a handsome guy. But their expectations were dashed after seeing them. Apart from Lin Tian, only Lin Tao was somewhat passable. Unfortunately, Lin Tao was already taken and quite aloof. The three beauties naturally turned cold. Even though Feng Jiabao was good at lifting the spirits, the mood remained awkward. Alas, I knew I should''ve gone to the Broadcasting Club instead. Feng Jiabao silently regretted, while Guo Rong didn''t care, happily snacking. Then a beauty named Zhang Guo''er, who seemed to have found common ground with Guo Rong for both being foodies, approached him. "Mengting! Mengting''s up!" Liu Mei suddenly shouted, drawing everyone''s attention to the poolside. "Mengting! Come on! Let''s cheer for Mengting!" Feng Jiabao immediately started shouting, and the others joined in. Bu Mengting waved at them, then took her position. At the poolside, the referee blew the whistle, and everyone dove into the pool. Right from the start, there was a clear divide in skill. Many girls, with no training, splashed around a few times before steadying themselves and swam forward with a dog paddle. Some, propelled by the momentum of their dive, glided underwater like flying fish for a distance before surfacing, already gaining a lead of over ten meters, and then continued to speed forward with freestyle strokes. The pool was fifty meters, meaning a hundred meters required swimming there and back. Mengting took the lead from the start, and after turning around, she left the second place two body lengths behind, easily claiming first place. Of course, since there were many girls, the times were all accounted for. "Mengting is so awesome, she''s definitely first. Look how far she left the second place!" Feng Jiabao excitedly said as if he had won the race himself. The others were also thrilled. With the large number of girls, there was a second round after the first. This time only the top ten were chosen, and ten girls took their positions. The top five in this round would represent Wu''an University at the Wu''an City University Students'' Swimming Competition. Mengting boasted she was a great swimmer, and it was no bluff. Once again, she seized first place, though this time the second place was only half a body length behind her. "Mengting! Mengting!" Feng Jiabao led the cheering, and the others joined in loudly, soon making the entire natatorium erupt. Bu Mengting won the woman''s category in the selection contest and would represent Wu''an University in Wu''an City''s University Students'' Swimming Competition. With the women''s competition over, it was the men''s turn. Overall, there were just over twenty guys, so they were simply split into two groups with the top five selected by time. They all were competing in the second round. "Eh? Why don''t I see Lin Tian?" "He''s probably in the next round." The men''s quality, compared to the women''s, was a bit higher. At least no one just splashed around on the spot after jumping in. Basically, as soon as they were in the water, they surged forward. This time, the competition was fierce compared to the women''s matches, and the whole venue was filled with cheers. Ultimately, a slightly tanned guy won first place by a narrow margin. "Lin Tian, Lin Tian is coming out!" The second round began. Feng Jiabao, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted Lin Tian. "Come on, Lin Tian! Let''s cheer for Lin Tian!" Just as a few people started to shout, a tsunami-like roar erupted in the swimming hall. "Ning Cheng! Ning Cheng! Ning Cheng!" Ning Cheng was like a celebrity, stretching his arms out and waving ceaselessly. Thus, the cheering for Gao Yong became thunderous. Lin Tian watched silently from the side, thinking to himself that he was going to show them up soon and see if they would still be so smug. "This Gao Yong is really popular, huh?" Feng Jiabao''s throat was getting hoarse from shouting, but amid the overwhelming cheers for Gao Yong, there was barely a sound for Lin Tian. "Of course, Ning Cheng is a classic tall, rich, and handsome guy. And I heard he trained with the national swimming team for a while before coming back to university. Look at his physique, so stylish." Liu Mei watched Ning Cheng with starry-eyed fascination. "So what if he''s been to the national team? Our roommate Lin Tian is definitely stronger than him." "Lin Tian? Well, I don''t see much in him, you know? Look at his physique; he can''t compare to Ning Cheng at all. Swimming needs strength, and Lin Tian is just too weak." "Too weak? Do you dare to bet with me? Lin Tian will definitely swim faster than this so-called Ning Cheng." Feng Jiabao lost his temper. He''d been holding it in ever since those few beauties showed a dismissive attitude towards them right from the start. "Fine, let''s bet. How do you want to bet?" "If I lose, I''ll treat you to a big meal. But if you lose, you become my girlfriend." ``` Chapter 263 Leaving You Half a Circle Behind "You''re really playing your cards well, aren''t you? If you lose, all you have to do is treat us to a meal. But if our Mengting loses, she has to be your girlfriend? You''re thinking too highly of yourself!" Sitting next to Guo Rong and munching on snacks, Zhang Guo''er immediately chimed in upon hearing the bet between the two. "Exactly, you''re dreaming. That bet is way too unfair for me." Liu Mei thought about it and also felt it was unfair. "Then what kind of bet do you want to make?" Liu Mei didn''t believe she would lose at all¡ªhow could Lin Tian, a mere stick in the mud, compare with a hunk like Ning Cheng? Just a meal was clearly not enough. Remembering a certain LV bag she had seen while out shopping with her friends, which cost over twenty thousand, she immediately had an idea. "If you lose, you buy me an LV bag." "Sure, no problem. It''s a deal then." Feng Jiabao wasn''t short of money, and more importantly, he had full confidence in Lin Tian. Guo Rong carefully tugged at Feng Jiabao. "Boss, I''ve heard those LV bags are pretty expensive. What if Lin Tian..." "Why are you always boosting others'' morale? Lin Tian is sure to win." Several girls, however, thought Feng Jiabao was just being stubborn with his words. There was no way Lin Tian could outswim Ning Cheng. At the edge of the pool, Ning Cheng heard the thunderous cheers coming from the swimming hall. He became even more proud. He saw Bu Mengting, but she wasn''t shouting his name, and her eyes weren''t on him either. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire Ning Cheng followed Bu Mengting''s gaze and found Lin Tian''s position. Looking at Lin Tian, Ning Cheng''s face showed a hint of arrogance: "I forgot to tell you Lin Tian, but before I started university, I trained with the national swimming team." "So you were kicked out, huh." Ning Cheng intended to intimidate with his revelation, but Lin Tian''s response left him struggling to save face. It took Ning Cheng a while to squeeze out a retort. "Being strong with words is useless." This time, Lin Tian didn''t bother to talk, instead he simply gave Ning Cheng the middle finger. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Take your positions, swimmers, get ready!" The referee loudly reminded the athletes to get ready, and those who had trained assumed a forward-leaning posture. This would shift their center of gravity forward, so when they dived into the water, they could achieve a longer glide. Only Lin Tian stood still, hands crossed over his shoulders, not moving a muscle. "Country bumpkin, I''m going to leave you half a lap behind." Seeing Lin Tian like this, Ning Cheng was convinced Lin Tian had no knowledge of swimming. This time, he was determined to beat Lin Tian in front of Mengting, to show her that he was her true prince. "Whistle¡ª" The whistle blew. Ning Cheng pushed off strongly, his body soaring into the air, like a javelin plunging into the water. Leveraging the diving momentum, his body undulated a few times like a dolphin, shooting forward like a flying fish. His form was perfect, comparable even to world-class swimming champions. However, at this moment, most of the attention in the swimming hall was not on Ning Cheng, but on Lin Tian. Lin Tian''s entry into the water was shockingly outrageous. He, too, dived like a javelin, but he did so standing straight up, jumping stiffly into the water. A colossal splash rose more than a meter high. "Hahaha, Lin Tian is too funny, right? He doesn''t even know how to swim!" Liu Mei couldn''t help but laugh hysterically at Lin Tian''s exaggerated dive. Feng Jiabao''s face darkened. So Lin Tian really couldn''t swim? Now they were in trouble. "Hey, look, Lin Tian''s actually using a doggy paddle. Oh my, can he really swim faster than Ning Cheng with that? Feng, thanks for buying me a bag. That''s so kind of you." Seeing Lin Tian resort to the doggy paddle after diving, Liu Mei felt she was sure to win. Feng Jiabao''s face darkened even more. It wasn''t the money that bothered him, but Lin Tian''s lack of spirit. "Wow, boss, look!" At that moment, the usually snack-loving Guo Rong suddenly dropped his food and stared at the pool with wide eyes. Feng Jiabao followed his gaze and saw a huge splash moving at an incredible speed toward the turning point. If not for the human head in front of the splash, everyone would have thought a speedboat was racing by. Indeed, Lin Tian knew only the doggy paddle, but his body was beyond comparison to ordinary people. Possessing the Ox Power Technique, his legs worked like propellers, creating huge splashes for extraordinary propulsion. He quickly caught up with Ning Cheng and surpassed him. Ning Cheng was swimming freestyle, just a dozen meters from the turning point. He thought that if he maintained his pace, he could reach the finish line before Lin Tian even made it to the turnaround. Suddenly, a huge splash moved rapidly across his vision, and then he saw Lin Tian awkwardly reach the turnaround point, flipping over and giving him a smug smile. "How is this possible? He''s swimming faster than me with a doggy paddle?" While Ning Cheng was dumbstruck, Lin Tian had already completed the turn and, dog paddle engaged, shot off like a speedboat toward the finish line. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" A girl suddenly started shouting loudly¡ªit was Bu Mengting. Earlier, when she had seen Lin Tian''s entry into the water, she too was worried for him, feeling ashamed amidst the surrounding mockery. At this moment, seeing Lin Tian actually take the lead with a doggy paddle, his swimming style akin to a speedboat, stunned everyone in the pool. Bu Mengting immediately jumped up excitedly and shouted Lin Tian''s name out loud. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" Hearing Bu Mengting''s voice, Feng Jiabao finally snapped out of the shock from Lin Tian''s exaggerated swimming method and started to shout along with Bu Mengting. Soon enough, more and more people began to shout Lin Tian''s name loudly. Louder than the cheers for Ning Cheng before. Without any suspense, Lin Tian easily touched the wall first. Meanwhile, Ning Cheng, startled by Lin Tian, even lost his second-place position and came in third. When Ning Cheng climbed out of the pool, Lin Tian pointed his index finger at him and gently wagged it a few times. "You''ve got a long way to go!" Ning Cheng almost slipped back into the pool in frustration. He wanted to say something, but recalling Lin Tian''s exaggerated speed, all he tasted in his mouth was bitterness, unable to utter a word. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" The competition was over, but the cheering in the pool grew louder and louder. Lin Tian spread his arms and waved non-stop, for at this moment, Lin Tian was the hero, Lin Tian was the star! Bu Mengting ran straight over and threw herself into Lin Tian''s arms, without any hesitation. "Lin Tian, you''re really so cool." "Mengting, my little wife, since I''m this cool, shouldn''t you give me some sort of reward?" Bu Mengting''s face turned a slight red, and suddenly she pecked Lin Tian on the face before running away. In the stands, Liu Mei sighed softly watching Lin Tian easily win first place with his doggy paddle. She felt uneasy. As everyone shouted for Lin Tian, she quietly stood up, intending to make a run for it. "Liu Mei? Where are you going?" Feng Jiabao immediately saw through Liu Mei''s intention and blocked her way. "I... my stomach hurts, I need to go to the restroom." "Oh, then you should go." Feng Jiabao graciously stepped aside. "Boss, why did you let her go? She obviously lost the bet and is trying to escape." Guo Rong, munching on snacks, watched Liu Mei''s frantic escape and gave a reminder. "If she runs, she runs. I''m not interested in a woman like that. Come on, let''s go welcome our swimming champion." "Lin Tian, congratulations on becoming the champion of the school''s selection trials." The sports director, Shi Tie, was in charge of this swimming selection. He used to be a swimmer himself but lacked the talent to achieve good results and ended up teaching at Wu''an University. "Thank you, Teacher." "By the way, you know the purpose of these selection trials, right? I hope you can help the school achieve a good ranking in the Wu''an City swimming competition." When Lin Tian first got into the water, Shi Tie took notice and at first thought Lin Tian was shaming Wu''an University. But after Lin Tian showed his incredible speed, Shi Tie immediately changed his mind. If Lin Tian could win the Wu''an City swimming competition, it would reflect well on him as the sports director. "The Wu''an City swimming competition? Is it a lot of trouble?" Lin Tian then remembered the University had organized selection trials to participate in the Wu''an City Collegiate Swimming Competition. He was supposed to help Chen Yixuan catch Luo Li, and if he participated in the swimming competition, he probably wouldn''t have the time to deal with Luo Li. "No trouble, no trouble at all. With your speed, you don''t even need to train. You just have to show up for the event." Shi Tie, who became a sports director without any swim achievements, obviously had some capabilities. He immediately sensed that Lin Tian was the type of person who disliked inconveniences. Usually, the selected students were supposed to undergo organized training. But Shi Tie directly made an exception for Lin Tian, one that required him to only show up for the competition. "What trouble? Lin Tian, you must participate in the competition." At this time, Bu Mengting appeared, having also won the first place in the women''s group of the selection trial. Sensing Lin Tian''s reluctance to participate in the swimming competition, Bu Mengting was naturally unwilling to let it go. "Okay then, I''ll participate. But just to be clear, I don''t have time to train." "No problem." Shi Tie assured Lin Tian, patting his chest. "Lin Tian, are you really that busy that you don''t even have time for training? I get it, are you going to see that policewoman?" "I''ve promised someone to help catch a thief. That thief is really bad, and if we don''t catch him soon, he''ll cause great harm to society." Lin Tian explained to Bu Mengting, who didn''t continue to press the issue and let out a few humphs to let it slide. "Lin Tian, you sly dog! Nicely done!" Feng Jiabao arrived with a few people from the dormitory. Normally, two dormitories should have six people, but only five had come. "Hey? Where''s Meimei?" Noticing that one of her dorm mates was missing, Bu Mengting asked. Chapter 264 Healing Water ``` About Liu Mei''s situation, the two women of course knew what was going on, but were embarrassed to speak about it. After all, at the time they also had little faith in Lin Tian, and their visit to the swimming hall today was actually to cheer on Bu Mengting and Lin Tian. "Oh, she said she had a stomachache." Feng Jiabao brought up Liu Mei''s excuse, when he had made a bet with Liu Mei, he wasn''t really interested in her, he just wanted to vent his anger. Who would''ve thought, this Liu Mei turned out to be so lacking in responsibility, such a sore loser. "Forget it, let''s not bother with her. Let''s go celebrate." Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire Bu Mengting noticed that there was a slight rift between the people in Lin Tian''s dorm and her own sisters, so she didn''t dwell on the Liu Mei matter anymore and suggested they go out to celebrate together. However, the two junior sisters of Bu Mengting both said they weren''t feeling well, and the plan immediately fell through. With her dorm mates feeling unwell, Bu Mengting accompanied them back to the dormitory. Without the girls, the celebration lost its appeal. It was rare for the four of them to get together, so after some discussion, they decided to head to an internet caf¨¦ to game together. In the beginning, the four of them played very happily, but as they played, Lin Tian''s performance began to slip. "Lin Tian, what are you doing, man? You started off so fierce, why''re you so lost now?" Feng Jiabao was the first to notice something was off with Lin Tian. "You guys keep playing, I don''t know why, but I''m feeling a bit restless, like something bad is going to happen." "Stop kidding, you''ve just won the selection competition, that''s a good thing. After a few more days, once you win the championship of the Wu''an City College Swimming Competition, you''ll immediately become a celebrity at Wu''an University." "No, something bad is definitely going to happen. You guys continue, I need to go back to the school." Lin Tian knew he was different from ordinary people¡ªhe had the Supernatural Ability System, and he had once exchanged for a superpower called Foreknowing. Foreknowing wasn''t as potent as being Foreknowing, but as long as it related to Lin Tian, he could somewhat sense it. This feeling of restlessness, it must mean someone related to him might be in trouble. The person closest to Lin Tian at Wu''an University was none other than Bu Mengting. In a rush, Lin Tian headed to Bu Mengting''s dormitory, only to find it empty. "Mengting must be in trouble." Lin Tian took out his phone and dialed Bu Mengting''s number. He thought no one would answer, but someone did. "Hello, are you Lin Tian?" The voice on the phone was that of a girl, but it wasn''t Bu Mengting''s. "Yes, it''s me, Lin Tian. Who are you? Why do you have Mengting''s phone?" "I''m Zhang Guo''er, Mengting''s roommate, we''ve met before. Mengting''s in trouble, she''s in the infirmary, you should come quickly." Zhang Guo''er''s voice trembled, clearly very nervous, very worried. As expected, it was Mengting who was in trouble; Lin Tian hung up the phone and dashed to the infirmary at top speed. There was a crowd around the infirmary, and an ambulance was parked at the door, its lights flashing continuously. An ambulance was there, yet why hadn''t they taken the patient away? Lin Tian felt an inexplicable rush of panic and headed straight for the infirmary. "Mengting, Mengting, what''s wrong with you?" As he called out, Lin Tian charged into the infirmary. Inside the infirmary were the school''s doctor and other doctors in white coats. However, both the school''s doctor and the doctors in white coats looked exceptionally grave, a wave of sadness permeating the room. "Lin Tian, you''re here. Bu Mengting, she, she..." At that moment, a girl saw Lin Tian and began to cry uncontrollably. Lin Tian remembered that voice¡ªit was Zhang Guo''er, who had answered the phone earlier. "What happened to Mengting?" "She, she''s gone. The doctors say there''s no saving her." After Zhang Guo''er finished speaking, she couldn''t hold back anymore and turned her head away, crying. "Impossible, how could Mengting die? You must be mistaken." Lin Tian rushed to the bedside; Bu Mengting lay there, her lips turned black, her face pale. "Calm down, young man. This young lady has stopped breathing; she has passed away." A doctor tried to comfort Lin Tian, but his words only ignited Lin Tian''s rage. "You quacks, you know nothing. Mengting is not dead; get out of my way!" Lin Tian forced his way to Bu Mengting''s side and placed his finger under her nose; indeed, there was no breath. The doctor who had been shouted at by Lin Tian felt a bit indignant. "We may not be very skillful, but we are quite certain when determining life and death. She''s beyond help." Lin Tian''s face darkened, and he didn''t speak, instead plunging his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness! He located the healing potion and immediately exchanged for a bottle! It would cost one Supernatural Point. S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian currently had a total of six Supernatural Points; he had meant to save them in case the mission to capture Luo Li failed, just as a precaution. But now, he didn''t hesitate to exchange for the Healing Water. He opened Bu Mengting''s mouth with his hands, intent on feeding her the Healing Water. ``` At this moment, the doctor from before suddenly stopped Lin Tian. "Hey, what are you doing? She''s already dead!" "You quacks can''t save someone and now you''re stopping me from saving her? Is this how you act as a doctor?" "She''s not breathing anymore; she''s dead. Who knows what that is in your hands?" "If you''re saying she''s dead, then whatever I feed her shouldn''t matter. Just stand aside nicely and watch how I save a person." Given Bu Mengting''s critical condition, Lin Tian couldn''t control his anger at all. The doctor still wanted to stop him, but Lin Tian kicked out and sent the doctor flying. The other medical staff members wanted to come forward and stop Lin Tian, but seeing how ferocious he was, they all stopped. Finally, Lin Tian managed to feed the Healing Potion into Bu Mengting''s mouth. "I''d like to see how you''ll bring someone back to life; a person without a breath, and you think you can just pour some potion in and they''ll live? How na?ve." The doctor, who had been kicked away, got up from the ground, saw Lin Tian feed Bu Mengting the Healing Potion, and let out a sneer. However, knowing the power Lin Tian had, he didn''t dare to get too close anymore, and just stood far back, ready to watch Lin Tian make a fool of himself. "Hey, classmate, that resurrection potion of yours doesn''t seem to work very well." A few minutes later, Bu Mengting on the bed was still looking the same, and the doctor spoke up again. Lin Tian didn''t respond; in fact, he was getting somewhat worried. The Healing Potion could quickly heal someone''s wounds, but it hadn''t been said to be able to bring the dead back to life. Several minutes had passed, and there was no sign of change in Bu Mengting. Could it be that the Healing Potion was useless? "Eh, look, Mengting''s lips are starting to lighten in color." At this time, a crisp voice suddenly rang out as Zhang Guo''er jumped up and pointed at Bu Mengting''s lips, shouting. After Zhang Guo''er''s exclamation, Lin Tian paid attention to Bu Mengting''s lips. When he first came in, Bu Mengting''s lips were black and purplish, and her complexion was as pale as a zombie. Now, the color of the lips was slowly fading, and her complexion didn''t look that pale anymore. Seeing the change in Bu Mengting, even those who didn''t know anything about medicine could tell that Bu Mengting was recovering. "This is impossible!" The doctor Lin Tian had kicked away somehow came back. "She was clearly dead, how could she still be alive?" "Yes, that girl was clearly out of breath just now, this is too miraculous." The other medical staff members also looked utterly bewildered. "You bunch of quacks, all of you get lost." Lin Tian reached out and pushed away the doctor who had crowded in closer. Bu Mengting''s recovery was swift, and at this moment, her lip color had returned to normal, looking rosy red. Her complexion had also returned to normal, with a healthy pinkish hue. "Eh? Where am I? Why are there so many people?" Bu Mengting held her forehead and sat up, opening her eyes. All eyes in the medical room were wide with shock, especially the doctor Lin Tian had kicked away. "This is impossible, it''s just not possible..." Before, they had conducted a comprehensive examination; the girl on the bed had stopped breathing, her pupils had dilated, and she was confirmed dead. However, this guy had fed her some kind of miraculous potion and brought the girl back from the dead. What was in that potion? Divine water? "Mengting, do you remember what happened just now?" From the looks of Mengting, Lin Tian guessed she must have been poisoned, and with a very potent poison at that. He hadn''t been apart from Bu Mengting for long, but in that short span of time, she had stopped breathing. If it weren''t for Lin Tian exchanging Supernatural Points for the Healing Potion, Bu Mengting''s life would have dissipated. "Just now? I was just going back to the dorm with Guo''er and the others; nothing happened." Bu Mengting looked utterly bewildered, apparently really not knowing what had happened. Lin Tian asked Zhang Guo''er, who was by her side, and got the same response. She didn''t know anything either, saying that as they walked, Bu Mengting had suddenly collapsed. How could a perfectly fine person suddenly get poisoned while walking? There must have been someone who had poisoned Bu Mengting, but who could she have possibly offended? Lin Tian took out some coins, and seemingly without any effort, the three coins started spinning like tops. When the coins finally came to a stop, Lin Tian''s expression turned very ugly. The divination hadn''t failed, but the result was truly shocking. It was her! In Lin Tian''s mind, an image of a woman as beautiful as a flower appeared. In the first scene, the woman asked for Lin Tian''s phone number, and Lin Tian refused her in front of He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. The second scene was when Zhang Ya tricked him into the bar and when her plot failed, Lin Tian left, Zhang Ya crazily said, "If you don''t agree to be my man, I''ll kill your two little sweethearts." ............................................................. Chapter 265 Its Really You Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire Through the divination just now, Lin Tian had confirmed that everything that had happened to Bu Mengting was Zhang Ya''s doing. Moreover, this woman was nearby at this moment. "Mengting, how are you feeling now?" "I''m feeling great." Bu Mengting had no idea that she had just taken a trip to Ghost Gate. "Rest well, I have some things to take care of." After comforting Bu Mengting for a bit, Lin Tian left the infirmary. Following the location divined, he hastened towards it. Suddenly, Lin Tian stopped in his tracks and coldly stared at a man and a woman hiding in a corner ahead! The woman was indeed Zhang Ya, the man Lin Tian had never seen before! "Is the job done? Is that woman dead?" In the corner, Zhang Ya asked coldly. Zhang Ya was extremely beautiful with a curvaceous figure, a truly ravishing beauty, but at this moment, Lin Tian looked at her with a chill in his heart! This viper of a woman! By the woman''s side was a muscular man, his body rippling with muscles. "Yes, I''ve taken care of it, that woman won''t survive." "Fang Qiang, you did well. Let''s go find the other one next." "Xiao Ya, I''m willing to do anything for you. Rest easy, even if someone traces it back to me, I won''t rat you out." The muscular man Fang Qiang looked at Zhang Ya with deep affection, but Zhang Ya''s expression remained cold as ice. Hmph, Lin Tian, I told you, you would regret it. After I''ve killed your two little lovers, you''ll be mine. "Let''s go, we need to act quickly, the other one is a teacher." "It was you, after all!" Just at that moment, a figure appeared soundlessly. Lin Tian glared at Zhang Ya, his eyes blazing with fire. "Lin Tian? Have you changed your mind? Are you willing to be my man now?" Seeing Lin Tian, Zhang Ya immediately smiled. Fang Qiang, on the other hand, was grinding his teeth with a crackling sound, clenching his fists tightly as he stared at Lin Tian. "Change my mind? With a heart as venomous as yours, do you think anyone would like you?" "Don''t you insult Zhang Ya. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, the love of all men." Upon hearing Lin Tian insult Zhang Ya, Fang Qiang immediately stepped forward. Looking at Fang Qiang, Lin Tian smirked, a man driven by lust. "Why would you say that about me?" Zhang Ya put on a very aggrieved expression, unaware that Lin Tian already knew about her deeds. "Why did you poison Bu Mengting?" "Heh, it seems you already know. Yes, I was the one who poisoned her. I told you, if you don''t become my man, I will kill your two little lovers. Bu Mengting was just the first, He Qianqian is the second." Zhang Ya openly admitted it, her face twisted grotesquely. "Hahaha, Bu Mengting is dead, daring to compete with me for a man, her only fate was death. Lin Tian, you should feel honored to be fancied by me." "You''re asking for it!!" Although Bu Mengting hadn''t died, Lin Tian''s rage could no longer be contained. He charged straight at Zhang Ya, but Fang Qiang stood in front of her, swinging a fierce punch towards Lin Tian! Zhang Ya had always been Fang Qiang''s goddess; he was willing to do anything for her. Zhang Ya had fallen for Lin Tian, but Lin Tian had the audacity to spurn her. A pair of fists, like hammers, smashed towards Lin Tian. With that momentum, if those fists connected, they could leave a person crippled. Lin Tian caught Fang Qiang''s fists with his hands. "Your affection for this woman has nothing to do with me! But do you know what she just did? She just poisoned my woman, that''s murder. Are you still going to defend her?" Lin Tian narrowed his eyes. "Heh, I forgot to tell you, it was actually me who poisoned your woman." "Die!" Upon hearing Fang Qiang''s words, Lin Tian no longer held back and kicked out. Fast, precise, ruthless! Fang Qiang was muscular and clearly trained, but he was still unable to dodge Lin Tian''s kick and was hit in the abdomen, causing him to furrow his brow and step back. "Such strong power!" Fang Qiang exhaled softly; he had always focused on physical training and never met anyone who could match his strength. Unexpectedly, although Lin Tian looked slim, his strength was formidable. "I know you were bewitched by Zhang Ya to do this. But since you''ve poisoned my woman, I can''t let you off." Moving quickly, Lin Tian, like a leopard, pounced in front of Fang Qiang and drove his knee into Fang Qiang''s stomach. Fang Qiang didn''t have time to react, only managing to slightly sidestep. The knee, being one of the hardest bones in the human body, combined with Lin Tian''s powerful force, hit Fang Qiang''s stomach like a shell. Fang Qiang couldn''t hold on this time and fell to the ground clutching his stomach. "Crack! Crack!" Lin Tian followed up with two more kicks, breaking both of Fang Qiang''s hands. "You poisoned under Zhang Ya''s orders, so I''ll only break your two hands and spare your life." Having said that, Lin Tian turned his head to look at Zhang Ya. Zhang Ya never expected Lin Tian to be so formidable; she had brought Fang Qiang along because she thought he was a good fighter. Yet the seemingly formidable Fang Qiang was quickly taken down by Lin Tian with just a few punches. "Lin Tian, what do you want to do?" Watching Lin Tian slowly walk towards her, Zhang Ya started to feel afraid. "What do you think?" Lin Tian coldly spoke as he reached out and grabbed Zhang Ya by the neck, lifting her with one hand while staring at her coldly! This time, Lin Tian really had murderous intent. If he had arrived at the infirmary any later, Bu Mengting would have truly died. "No, please don''t..." Zhang Ya was scared, and she could feel Lin Tian''s intent to kill. "Now you know fear? When you plotted against Mengting, why didn''t you think to be afraid?" "How can that woman compare to me?" Zhang Ya''s hands were desperately clinging to Lin Tian''s hand, trying to break free from his grasp. But Lin Tian''s grip was as firm as a tiger''s, unmovable and slowly tightening even more. Soon, Zhang Ya''s face turned pale and she could no longer speak. Zhang Ya was on the verge of being choked to death by Lin Tian right then and there. "Lin Tian, if you kill Zhang Ya, you''ll be arrested by the police. What will happen to your woman then?" At that moment, Fang Qiang''s words saved Zhang Ya''s life. That''s right, if he truly killed her, Lin Tian would be wanted by the police. Then what would happen to Bu Mengting and He Qianqian? He released his hand, and it took a while for Zhang Ya to recover. If he had been just a bit slower, she might have been choked to death by Lin Tian. "Ah!" Suddenly, Lin Tian roared and then violently punched a large rock beside him. "Bang!" With a loud noise, the large rock was shattered into pieces by Lin Tian''s punch. "Zhang Ya, if you dare to hurt my woman again, I will definitely kill you." After speaking, Lin Tian turned and walked away. Leaving behind a pale-faced Zhang Ya and Fang Qiang with broken arms, looking at the shattered pieces all over the ground, both of them agape with shock. After dealing with Zhang Ya and Fang Qiang, Lin Tian went back to find Bu Mengting. "Lin Tian, you mean someone poisoned me, and I almost died just now?" Fang Qiang''s poisoning was so covert that Bu Mengting had no recollection of it. Later, when Lin Tian went to settle the score with Zhang Ya, she heard from Guo''er that she had nearly died and was saved by Lin Tian. When Lin Tian returned, he told Bu Mengting that someone had poisoned her. Bu Mengting was utterly shocked. "Who would want to poison me? I haven''t offended anyone, have I?" "I don''t know. But it doesn''t matter. I''m here, little wife Mengting, you can''t die even if you wanted to." Lin Tian didn''t tell Bu Mengting about Zhang Ya, because Bu Mengting was just an ordinary person and only needed to live peacefully and attend university. "Keep boasting. But we still need to clear this up. Otherwise, I won''t even dare to stay in the dormitory." "Then don''t go back to the dormitory tonight. How about we call our big wife Qianqian out and have a good gathering, just the three of us?" Lin Tian had already threatened Zhang Ya and believed she wouldn''t act rashly again. "You, always looking to be naughty, aren''t you?" Hearing Lin Tian''s intention to invite He Qianqian, Bu Mengting instantly guessed Lin Tian''s indecent thoughts. Indeed, Lin Tian intended to call He Qianqian as well, partly because he was worried Zhang Ya might target her. "No, today is mainly to calm your nerves." After giving He Qianqian a call and arranging to meet up, Lin Tian left the small gate with Bu Mengting. It was still the newly opened barbecue restaurant, whose barbecue was really good. "Mengting, Lin Tian said you had an accident today?" He Qianqian arrived and immediately came over to Bu Mengting, asking with concern. Lin Tian had mentioned Bu Mengting''s incident casually while inviting He Qianqian. S§×arch* The N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s nothing, look at me, I''m completely fine." "But I heard from Lin Tian that your situation was particularly dangerous, you stopped breathing." "At the time, I really didn''t understand much either. According to those doctors, it was indeed very dangerous. They all thought I was dead. But then, Lin Tian fed me some potion and I was revived." "What? Lin Tian was the one who saved you?" Upon hearing this, He Qianqian''s eyes lit up and she turned to stare at Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, how did you save Mengting?" "Want to know?" "Tell us." "If you want to know, you''ll have to pay a price. To seek a master''s guidance, one must bring a gift." Lin Tian said, leaning close to He Qianqian, his hand reaching out and touching her plump thigh. "Behave yourself." He Qianqian slapped Lin Tian''s hand and said coquettishly. "You''re getting more and more cheeky, just answer the question." "But now, with two beauties in front of me, my soul is being captivated, my mind isn''t clear anymore, how can I answer your question?" Lin Tian said with a strange laugh as he wrapped his arms around He Qianqian, and this time she didn''t struggle, letting Lin Tian hold her. "This school of yours is too unsafe. Mengting is in school, yet she could be poisoned. Oh right, Lin Tian, don''t you know divination? Have you done a reading for Mengting? Who poisoned her?" He Qianqian, after all, wasn''t a naive young girl like Bu Mengting, she wasn''t that easy to fool. Previously, Lin Tian had already deceived Bu Mengting. Now if he told the truth, Bu Mengting would definitely be upset. He could only continue to lie. "I''ve done the divination. It was a muscle man. I chased after him and already taught him a lesson. He''s just a pervert." Chapter 266 Ancient Sword Three people had a delightful meal, and Lin Tian certainly enjoyed the blessings of all. After eating, Lin Tian directly pulled the two women and ran to a hotel to book a room. "Lin Tian, you know, I still have some things to deal with at school. How about I go back first?" Upon entering the room, He Qianqian started to back out. Although she had now accepted being Lin Tian''s girlfriend along with Bu Mengting, her face was still a bit thin after all, she was Lin Tian''s teacher. "You''re not allowed to leave." Lin Tian, however, was quite domineering and pulled He Qianqian back, then hugged her and started kissing her. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When dealing with He Qianqian, Lin Tian''s strategy was to kiss her intensely, until her mind went blank. Soon He Qianqian was moved, and with a turnaround hug, she and Lin Tian kissed deeply. "Mengting, where are you going?" All of a sudden, Lin Tian called out and Bu Mengting had actually quietly walked towards the door. "Ah, I, I''m going to take a shower. Yes, take a shower." Bu Mengting immediately pulled open the bathroom door and stormed in. "A shower sounds great, the three of us can go together." Lin Tian directly picked up He Qianqian and entered the bathroom together, and that night was destined to be wild. The next morning, Lin Tian woke up with a seductive beauty on each side. "What time is it?" Bu Mengting on the left rubbed her eyes and got up. At this moment, Bu Mengting was naked, with a pair of breasts wobbling enticingly in front of her. Lin Tian casually grabbed a handful. "It''s still early, little wife Mengting, these seem to have grown quite a bit again. My hand can hardly grasp them." "Drop dead, weren''t you tired from last night? I have to go swimming training today, I don''t have time to mess with you." As Bu Mengting was about to get dressed, Lin Tian, of course, wouldn''t let go of the meat that had come to his mouth; he pulled Bu Mengting to him and started their morning exercise. After the poisoning incident, Lin Tian thought about it and decided to accompany Bu Mengting to her swimming training. When parting with He Qianqian, Lin Tian specifically told her to be careful recently. "What is there to be careful about?" "Don''t you know there''s been a rampant thief recently? He steals things and even leaves his name. The police have tried to catch him many times, but haven''t succeeded." "You''re talking about Luo Li, right? Indeed, he has been rampant, but I believe the police will catch him. Evil cannot prevail over good." He Qianqian, holding her fist with full confidence in the police, while Lin Tian did not share her optimism. Luo Li was a superpowered individual, and the police, without a doubt, had no way to catch him. That night, when Lin Tian returned to the dormitory, only the foodie Guo Rong was there. "Lin Tian, do you remember that arrogant thief Luo Li?" "What about him?" "That guy is becoming more and more brazen. Today''s news said that Luo Li, after stealing last night, even murdered a woman." "Murdered?" Lin Tian''s face darkened, and his worst fear had come to pass. Ever since he knew Luo Li was not an ordinary person and possessed superpowers, Lin Tian had been worried that Luo Li''s criminal behavior would become increasingly rampant and dangerous. Yet he had not expected this day to come so soon. "Yeah, that woman was so pitiful. That Luo Li even carved the words ''Thief Luo Li'' on her belly with a dagger. This guy is simply inhumane, those police are so useless." Guo Rong said, his fatty cheeks trembling, clearly furious. "It''s not that the police are incompetent, it''s that Luo Li is too powerful." "No matter how powerful, a single peanut can do the job. I say the police are just too cowardly." Lin Tian did not argue with Guo Rong, as he was very aware that a superpowered individual like Luo Li was not afraid of firearms and other conventional weapons. As Lin Tian was discussing Luo Li with Guo Rong, Chen Yixuan''s call came. "Yixuan, I saw the news today, it seems like Luo Li murdered a woman last night?" "Yes, Luo Li is becoming more and more insane. We must capture him as quickly as possible." As a woman, Chen Yixuan deeply detested Luo Li''s bestial acts, and also felt a strong self-blame. If she could have caught Luo Li earlier, last night''s tragedy would not have occurred. "Yixuan, be careful these days, Luo Li has gone mad. I''m worried, his next target might be you." "Great, I''ll shoot him dead with one bullet." Chen Yixuan was not only unafraid but somewhat excited. Lin Tian regretted warning Chen Yixuan. He needed some time to prepare. Luo Li''s strongest superpower was none other than Instant Teleportation; as long as that was countered, Lin Tian facing Luo Li head-on was no challenge at all. "Calm down, you are no match for him. How about this, don''t go home tonight. Stay at the police station for a night. Tomorrow night, you can go home..." As soon as Luo Li started murdering women, Lin Tian thought that Chen Yixuan, who had been pursuing him, must have already been marked as a target by Luo Li. It''s possible that at this moment, Luo Li was watching Chen Yixuan. Lin Tian needed one day to make preparations, to keep Chen Yixuan busy at the police station for one night, to buy some time. "You''ve been saying you would catch Luo Li, but after preparing for so many days, I''ve not seen any action. You''re not just fooling me again, are you?" "Don''t worry, Yixuan. Trust me this time, we''ll definitely catch Luo Li." Lin Tian said with certainty, he indeed hadn''t deceived Chen Yixuan, as he had found a way to deal with Luo Li in the Supernatural Ability System. The next day, Lin Tian had Guo Rong help him call in sick, which was actually just covering for him. If he got discovered, he would ask for sick leave. This was something Guo Rong often did for Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, where are you off to?" Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire "I''m going to catch Luo Li." "Don''t be full of it, I know what''s going on. You must be off to a date with some girl. I''ve heard that aside from Bu Mengting, you''ve got another woman. You''re quite something, Lin Tian. Bu Mengting is such a beauty, aren''t you worried she''ll find out and say goodbye to you?" Lin Tian told the truth, but Guo Rong thought he was joking. "It''s not a date, I really am going to catch Luo Li. If you don''t believe me, keep an eye on the news. Within three days, Luo Li will definitely be caught." Having said that, he no longer paid attention to Guo Rong and turned to leave the dormitory. What Lin Tian needed to do today was to find an ancient sword as prompted by the Supernatural Ability System. To disrupt Luo Li''s Instant Teleportation, it was necessary to destabilize the space around him. Luo Li''s ability for Instant Teleportation was actually a method of using spatial energy. As long as the space was made unstable, his Instant Teleportation would be rendered ineffective. To find an ancient sword, one naturally went to the antique market. Lin Tian wandered around the antique market for half the day but didn''t find a suitable ancient sword. An ancient sword itself couldn''t affect space. Lin Tian was actually looking for a spell formation from the Supernatural Ability System that could cause spatial vibrations. However, this spell formation had to be engraved on an ancient sword to work. "Sir, are you looking for an ancient sword?" Just as Lin Tian was about to give up hope, suddenly a street vendor pulled him aside. The antique market was a mix of dragons and snakes, hiding experts among the ordinary. Lin Tian didn''t look down on the vendor just because he had a street-side booth. "You have one?" "Yes, but it''s at home. Such items, we generally don''t display out here." "Alright, I''ll come have a look with you." Following the vendor, Lin Tian entered a small alley. The vendor''s house turned out to be an old-fashioned blue-brick, large-tile house, which was a rare sight in Wu''an City. The vendor led Lin Tian into the house and went into an inner room by himself. After a while, he came out holding a long object wrapped in cloth strips. "This ancient sword was collected by my grandfather. In our line of work, we believe in not flaunting our wealth. This is a good item, but our family has always been afraid to sell it." "Oh." The vendor spoke eloquently, but Lin Tian was skeptical. If it was truly valuable, it wouldn''t have waited till now to be sold. But he wasn''t worried about being swindled, for he wouldn''t want anything that the Supernatural Ability System didn''t approve of. Seeing Lin Tian''s indifferent expression, the vendor knew it was useless to talk more and directly unwrapped the cloth, revealing an ancient sword inside. The sword was full of rust, and just from its appearance, it seemed like an artifact from ancient times. "I''ll take this sword, how much is it?" Without even looking carefully, Lin Tian said he''d buy it. Because the moment the sword appeared, the Supernatural Ability System immediately identified it as suitable. "As I just told you, sir, this sword was collected by my grandfather, it''s genuinely a treasured item..." "Enough, just give me a straight price." Lin Tian said impatiently, knowing the vendor was just trying to raise the price. Seeing Lin Tian''s urgency, the vendor immediately spread out his hand, all five fingers extended./p> "Fifty thousand?" The vendor shook his head? "Five hundred thousand?" The vendor still shook his head. "Then I don''t want it." Actually, Lin Tian found even fifty thousand expensive. "Don''t go, I originally planned to sell this sword for five million. However, I haven''t found a suitable buyer. They say a treasured sword belongs to a hero. Seeing you today, sir, with such an impressive appearance, you must be a great hero. I''ll sell it to you for fifty thousand." "I don''t want it." Lin Tian turned around and left, having realized that the vendor was simply making up prices. "How about fifty thousand, I''ll sell it for that. As they say, ''A good horse is common, but a good judge of horses is rare.'' This sword has been buried in obscurity for so long in my possession, never having met someone who understands it. Since you took a liking to it today, sir, it means you''re fated to have it." "Five thousand, not a penny more." "Deal, five thousand it is. Ah, this treasured sword has finally found its master. Let me tell you, young man, it''s only because it''s you, I definitely wouldn''t sell it to anyone else for five thousand." Lin Tian couldn''t be bothered to listen to the vendor''s nonsense. He paid the money, took the ancient sword, and left. A street vendor like this probably hadn''t made a five-thousand-dollar sale in over a decade. The ancient sword was obtained, but he had one final step to complete. That night, after finishing her work, Chen Yixuan changed into casual clothes and headed home alone. There was a short stretch of road near Chen Yixuan''s home that was relatively secluded. As Chen Yixuan reached this stretch, she instinctively tensed up. Trusting her intuition, she felt someone was following her, Looking around, she didn''t spot anyone suspicious. "Officer Chen, long time no see." Chapter 267 You Are Too Naive A voice abruptly emerged behind Chen Yixuan, who immediately turned around and saw the sharp-faced and monkey-cheeked Luo Li. "Luo Li? You''ve really got some nerve, I''ve been worrying about how to catch you, and here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep." Seeing Luo Li, Chen Yixuan was not scared but actually very excited. Luo Li let out a strange chuckle, his eyes scanning Chen Yixuan from head to toe. "Officer Chen, you really are a competent police officer. But, are you sure you can catch me?" "Just surrender peacefully!" In response to Luo Li, Chen Yixuan shot out a kick; having crossed paths with Luo Li several times before, she certainly did not underestimate him. Taking advantage of Luo Li''s unpreparedness, she took initiative. Chen Yixuan attacked Luo Li, who seemed too slow to react. Upon seeing this, the corners of Chen Yixuan''s mouth lifted slightly¡ªan underestimation of women. She added a bit more force to her foot, intending to strike a blow. "You''re being too na?ve." Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire Suddenly, Luo Li spoke, and with a lift of his arm, grabbed Chen Yixuan''s ankle. Chen Yixuan had no idea how Luo Li managed to move so fast. With her ankle seized, Chen Yixuan grew anxious, twisting a few times, she found Luo Li''s grip was like a tiger''s vice, impossible to break free from easily. "Officer Chen, do you know why I wanted to find you tonight?" "I don''t need to know. All I know is that tonight you are definitely going to be captured and brought to justice." Chen Yixuan suddenly stopped struggling, twisted her body, and the other foot soared through the air in a flying kick. She planned to force Luo Li to retreat, to escape from his control. The idea wasn''t bad, but Luo Li suddenly exerted force. Chen Yixuan felt the world spin as she was flung away. "Ah!" She landed miserably on the ground, completely dazed from the fall. "Why go to all this trouble? Officer Chen, you didn''t need to make such a rushed move. I didn''t come to fight with you tonight." "Hmph, cops and robbers stand apart, I have nothing to discuss with you." "No, no. I''m not a robber, I am a god. The one and only god in this world, possessing abilities you cannot even imagine." Luo Li''s previously slouched body was now standing upright, attempting to exude a demeanor that looked down upon the world. However, with his sharp face and monkey cheeks and short stature, not only did he lack any imposing aura, he even seemed a bit ridiculous. "God? Hahaha, then I''ll have to see if your godly might is mightier than my gun." Chen Yixuan, who picked herself up from the ground, took out a handgun directly from her bag. Lin Tian had warned her to be careful, and although she hadn''t taken it to heart, thinking Luo Li would be too busy trying to hide from her to seek her out actively, she still carried a gun on her just in case. Unexpectedly, the gun would prove useful today. With Chen Yixuan''s skills, she indeed was not a match for Luo Li, but Chen Yixuan had a gun. "Foolish! I told you I am a god. Your gun can only deal with ordinary people, how could it possibly work against a god like me?" "Oh? Then I want to see how many bullets your godliness can dodge." Chen Yixuan, tired of the pointless talk, first aimed at Luo Li''s legs, thinking that once hit, Luo Li wouldn''t be able to run away. At that moment, Chen Yixuan was only thinking about bringing Luo Li to justice and didn''t overthink it! Just as Chen Yixuan was about to pull the trigger, Luo Li pointed a finger at Chen Yixuan, and she saw a mass of gray energy shooting towards her at lightning speed. Chen Yixuan had no time to react before the gray energy penetrated her body. She assumed it was some kind of hidden weapon, but there was no unusual feeling in her body. "Playing god!" Chen Yixuan pulled the trigger, confident in her marksmanship, and at such close range, Luo Li had no chance of avoiding it. "Bang!" A gunshot echoed, Luo Li held his arms and stood his ground without moving, yet the shot Chen Yixuan was certain would hit, flew off course. It didn''t miss¡ª it veered off, her bullet not even grazing Luo Li''s clothes, with no idea where it flew off to. "How could this be? I was clearly aiming at his leg!" "Officer Chen, don''t you understand yet? I am a god! How could a god possibly fear your gun?" "God my ass!" Chen Yixuan shouted and repeatedly pulled the trigger. "Bang bang bang..." She emptied the bullets in her handgun, yet Luo Li still hadn''t moved an inch, and not a single bullet had hit him. How could this be? Chen Yixuan was dumbfounded, unable to believe that with her marksmanship, at such a short distance, she couldn''t hit Luo Li. "So, Officer Chen? I told you I am a god, possessing abilities you cannot even imagine. Tonight I came looking for you because I''ve taken a liking to you. If you''re willing to follow me, I can make you a god too." Luo Li''s eyes gleamed as he stared at Chen Yixuan''s full bosom. At first, when Luo Li obtained his superpower, he was very cautious, afraid that others might find out about his abilities. However, after successfully evading the police multiple times with the aid of his superpower. Luo Li grew increasingly arrogant, believing himself to be a god. In his mind, there was no one in this world who could threaten him. With divine powers at his disposal, Luo Li was no longer content with just stealing. He began to have other pursuits, such as women. The day before yesterday, he took advantage of a very beautiful woman. In the past, such a feat was unthinkable for Luo Li. However, the beautiful woman was neither virgin nor obedient. In a rage, he killed her on the spot. After that incident, Luo Li felt he truly was a god, and that if he were to play with women, they had to be of a higher caliber. So, Luo Li quickly set his sights on Chen Yixuan. Chen was not only beautiful, but also a policewoman. If he could have Chen Yixuan, he was sure it would be a tremendous achievement. "Officer Chen, think it over. Not every woman gets the chance to become a god''s consort," he said. "Think over my ass!" Chen Yixuan suddenly realized why she hadn''t been able to hit Luo Li. It was because of the gray energy he had used just now. Lin Tian had told her about it¡ªit was a curse that could bring about extreme misfortune. "Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Defy the will of a god and face divine retribution," Luo Li said. Chen Yixuan did not submit. Luo Li decided to force himself on her, to claim her body first. Then he would demonstrate his divine power in front of her, believing that sooner or later, Chen would follow him. With a swift movement, Luo Li was at Chen Yixuan''s side. Chen Yixuan was no match for Luo Li, and now she had been cursed by him. She wasn''t foolish enough to fight when she knew she had no chance, so she planned to escape. "Take this!" she shouted. She feigned a punch at Luo Li, then turned to run. But she didn''t get far before tripping over something and tumbling to the ground. By the time Chen Yixuan got back on her feet, Luo Li was already standing beside her. "Beautiful Officer Chen, accept divine punishment!" Luo Li exclaimed. Luo Li threw a punch at Chen Yixuan, intending to leave her powerless to resist, after which he could do whatever he wanted. As Luo Li''s fist rushed towards her, there was nothing Chen Yixuan could do. If only Lin Tian were here, she thought. For some reason, she found herself longing for Lin Tian. Unfortunately, she feared she might never see him again. A look of despair crossed Chen Yixuan''s face! Vrrm~! Suddenly, a golden light burst forth from Chen Yixuan''s body. "Eh?" Luo Li exclaimed. His punch didn''t hit Chen Yixuan but struck a shining golden light barrier instead. "What is this?" Luo Li asked. "You call yourself a god? Hahaha, what a joke. You''re nothing but trash trying to be a god," Chen Yixuan said, laughing with joy. She remembered then. This was the golden light talisman Lin Tian had given her. She had no idea it would be this effective. "Before a true god, everything is an illusion," Luo Li said, as if fully embracing his godly role. He kept punching the golden light barrier relentlessly. The golden light talisman was indeed a treasure that could save Chen Yixuan''s life in a critical moment, but under Luo Li''s continuous assault, the light slowly began to fade. "How about that? I told you, I am a god! Officer Chen, you''re lucky. Because tonight, you will become the consort to a god," Luo Li said. As Luo Li finished speaking, the golden light barrier shattered, revealing a rather pale-looking Chen Yixuan. "What, what do you want?" she asked. Facing such a powerful Luo Li, Chen Yixuan felt an emotion she had never experienced before¡ªfear. This was the first time she truly felt terrified. "Don''t be afraid; I won''t hurt you. I just want you to become a god''s woman. You should feel lucky, you should be happy," Luo Li said. "Hmph!!" Suddenly, a noise approached from afar. Luo Li''s hand was mere centimeters from Chen Yixuan''s full bosom. He didn''t want to pay any attention to the sudden disturbance, but the incoming attack that accompanied the noise posed a threat to him. If he proceeded, he likely would be seriously injured by the imminent strike. Luo Li withdrew his hand and quickly retreated. Like a dart, Lin Tian suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yixuan, standing as straight as a javelin, his eyes as deep as the night sky. "Yixuan, are you alright?" he asked. "Lin Tian, it really is you. I''m fine, but this Luo Li is strange; watch out for his curse," Chen Yixuan warned. For some reason, seeing Lin Tian gave Chen Yixuan an inexplicable sense of safety. "Curse? Hahaha, ignorant mortals, you have no idea how dreadful a god can be. Pitiful insects, you should not meddle in the affairs of gods," Luo Li mocked. So what if he had a superpower? He actually considered himself a true god. Lin Tian looked down on Luo Li. In his mind, if Luo Li was a god, then what did that make Lin Tian, with his Supernatural Ability System¡ªthe king of gods, the Divine King? "A god like you? I''ll kill every one I see," Lin Tian declared. S§×ar?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Upon hearing that Luo Li had killed a woman, Lin Tian had already sentenced him to death in his heart. Moreover, now that Luo Li had laid a hand on Chen Yixuan, it only fueled Lin Tian''s fury. Chapter 268 Cant Be Dishonest "What did you say? You want to kill me? You want to kill me, a god?" Luo Li seemed to hear the funniest joke ever and couldn''t stop laughing, holding his belly. "Stop kidding yourself, ant. Today, I, Luo Li, will let you witness the power of a god." As soon as the words left his mouth, Luo Li stretched out his hand and pointed. A cluster of gray energy shot towards Lin Tian. Just like Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian couldn''t dodge the blow. However, when the gray energy burrowed into Lin Tian''s body, a smile spread across his face. "Supernatural Energy detected, fully absorbed." The attack Luo Li had just launched must have been that superpower of his, capable of bringing three days of bad luck. Unfortunately for him, when pitted against Lin Tian, his superpower was completely useless. "Receive the judgment of a god!" Completely unaware that his superpower had no effect on Lin Tian, Luo Li still assumed that Lin Tian, like Chen Yixuan, had fallen into a state of misfortune and charged at him arrogantly. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian had already clashed with Luo Li once before. Last time, Luo Li was defeated by Lin Tian after just a few moves. If Luo Li hadn''t relied on Instant Teleportation to escape, none of these events would have followed. Fighting again, Lin Tian realized that Luo Li''s strength had actually increased since their last encounter. Clearly, Luo Li''s Supernatural Energy was capable of continuous enhancement, a realization that even Lin Tian found unbelievable. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire This time, he absolutely couldn''t let Luo Li escape again. Otherwise, if Luo Li continued to grow stronger, he would be even harder to deal with. "Ant, I must say, your strength is not bad," Luo Li spoke, never having thought that someone as godlike as himself would be evenly matched with a normal person. Finally, he remembered this person was the one who had driven him to use Instant Teleportation last time. "Luo Li, you might be a bit stronger than before. However, in front of me, you still don''t stand a chance." Lin Tian began to exert his full strength, and Luo Li was indeed unable to withstand it, gradually losing ground. Lin Tian found an opening and landed a punch on Luo Li''s chest. Luo Li staggered backwards several steps, his face growing dark. "I must admit, you''re indeed very strong. However, I am a god, and even if you defeat me, you can''t kill me." Luo Li laughed wildly, confident that with Instant Teleportation, Lin Tian couldn''t pose any threat to him. Lin Tian knew Luo Li was planning to flee. Whether he could kill Luo Li or not hinged on this moment. "Do you dare to take my sword?" Lin Tian drew the Ancient Sword he had purchased, fixing his gaze steadfastly on Luo Li. Luo Li, who had been prepared to escape using Instant Teleportation, decided to stay a bit longer after hearing Lin Tian''s challenge. "Take your sword? I can take ten of your strikes without issue. But that sword of yours looks pretty shabby. Do you want me to buy you a better one?" Luo Li almost died laughing at the sight of the Ancient Sword Lin Tian pulled out. The sword''s blade was full of yellow rust, and the edge was somewhat damaged. Lin Tian actually thought he could kill him with such a sword. Was his brain damaged? "Hehe..." Grasping the scabbard tightly, Lin Tian suddenly exerted force with his hand! Clang! A flash of light streaked by, and Luo Li''s eyes bulged, filled with confusion! He slowly looked down to see a hole had mysteriously appeared in his chest, right where his heart should have been, now turned into pieces of flesh. Lin Tian''s sword seemed untouched, just a rust-covered blade now unsheathed with a few drops of steaming, fresh red blood at its tip. Lin Tian''s unique Sword Technique¡ªThrust! "How... how quick that sword is! You actually killed me, a god..." After finishing these words, Luo Li slowly fell, his eyes filled with disbelief. As Luo Li''s consciousness faded, he had only one thought. What sort of sword technique was that, so fast I couldn''t even initiate Instant Teleportation? "Congratulations, Host, for successfully killing Luo Li, completing the mission to capture Luo Li, and earning three Supernatural Points." Hearing the system''s notification, Lin Tian was sure that Luo Li was dead by his hand. "Lin Tian, did you... did you really kill Luo Li?" Chen Yixuan only believed that Lin Tian had killed Luo Li when she saw him fall to the ground. Lin Tian slowly sheathed the Ancient Sword and said coldly. "He was just trash." Luo Li was dead, but it was Lin Tian who had killed him. "Lin Tian, even though Luo Li was a criminal, you shouldn''t have killed him. You should have captured him and let him face justice." After all, Chen Yixuan was a police officer who abided by the law. "If he could be caught, I wouldn''t have had to kill him. This guy has the ability to teleport and could escape anytime. I told you about it last time. Not killing him would have led to greater harm." "But..." Chen Yixuan wanted to say something more but in the end, stopped herself without another word. "Lin Tian, you better leave quickly. Let''s just say I killed this Luo Li." Chen Yixuan wasn''t trying to steal the credit, rather she was worried about the repercussions for Lin Tian if word got out that he had killed Luo Li. As for Chen Yixuan killing Luo Li, there wouldn''t be any issues. Chen Yixuan was a cop; killing Luo Li wouldn''t only be without blame, but could also bring her commendation. "Alright, let''s do it your way." Lin Xu was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed a grey Ability Energy Sphere emerging from Luo Li''s body. "Supernatural Energy Sphere detected, Supernatural Energy Sphere detected..." The system''s prompt sounded and Lin Tian, without a second thought, rushed towards Luo Li''s body. This Supernatural Energy Sphere was definitely something valuable. But by the time Lin Tian reached Luo Li''s body, the grey energy sphere had already flown away. Lin Tian immediately chased after it at his fastest speed, but the energy sphere got faster and faster, and soon Lin Tian lost sight of it. "Such a pity. If I could have gotten that Supernatural Energy Sphere, maybe I would have gained Luo Li''s superpowers, right?" Having not caught the Supernatural Energy Sphere, Lin Tian felt somewhat disappointed. Lin Tian had actually wanted to acquire Luo Li''s superpowers for himself. "What were you just chasing after?" Chen Yixuan had suffered some minor injuries, especially a sprained ankle, so she had no choice but to stay put. "It was nothing. Hey, do you plan to stay here, or do you want me to take you home?" Lin Tian believed Chen Yixuan must have already reported the situation to the police, and the officers were likely on their way. "My foot hurts so much. Take me home, please." From Chen Yixuan''s point of view, staying at the scene would have brought her the most advantage. Lately, Luo Li had become Wu''an City''s most infamous criminal, starting as a petty thief who left notes claiming to be a "Thief God," to just a few days ago, when he killed a woman. It was expected that the police arriving would be accompanied by reporters from major news outlets. With the cred of taking down Luo Li, Chen Yixuan was bound to become a star in the Wu''an police force. But Chen Yixuan gave up on all that; she simply wanted to spend more time with Lin Tian. "Okay, then please hop on, my goddess!" Lin Tian turned his back to Chen Yixuan and crouched down. At that, Chen Yixuan, unable to contain her joy, wrapped her arms around Lin Tian''s neck. "You rascal, behave yourself." "It''s not that I''m being naughty; it''s just that it feels too good to let go." Lin Tian said this and grabbed on even tighter. "Lin Tian, you saved my life again today. How can I ever thank you?" "Yixuan, didn''t we have a deal? I catch Luo Li for you, and you warm my bed for me," Lin Tian teased. "Get lost, I never agreed to warm your bed." Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Chen Yixuan felt inexplicably nervous. Thinking back on all their moments together, she had to admit that Lin Tian was a very impressive man. He had unconsciously left a very clear imprint on her heart. "You can''t go back on your word, can you? Why wait for another day? Let''s settle what you promised tonight," Lin Tian heralded. "Keep dreaming." "That''s not fair." Lin Tian suddenly stopped, and Chen Yixuan rolled her eyes at him. "So what if I am? What are you going to do about it?" "Don''t forget, Yixuan, you need me to carry you home now." "Lin Tian! You, just don''t move around; first get me home." "So, are you still going to be cheeky or not?" "Just carry me home first; who talks about such things in the street?" Thinking it over, Lin Tian decided to listen to Chen Yixuan and carry her home first. However, Lin Tian didn''t walk very fast on the way back. With his pace varying between fast and slow, Chen Yixuan had no choice but to cling tightly to Lin Tian to avoid falling. By the time they arrived at Chen Yixuan''s house, her face had grown incredibly red. Lin Tian placed her on the couch. "No way!" Chen Yixuan reacted quickly, her hand promptly blocking her mouth to ward off Lin Tian''s advance. Chapter 269 I Just Missed You In a luxurious villa, Zhang Ya locked herself alone in a room. On her desk, there was a large photo featuring three people. One man and two women. The man was Lin Tian, and the women were He Qianqian and Bu Mengting. In the photo, the three of them were huddled together, their faces beaming with bright smiles. Zhang Ya''s gaze first focused on Bu Mengting, then shifted to He Qianqian. "Good, you like them, I want them dead!" Zhang Ya became agitated, and from nowhere, she found a small knife and slashed the photo. The first cut was between Lin Tian and Bu Mengting, creating a crack between them. "Hmph, I will definitely divide you." Then another slash went across He Qianqian''s face. "Old woman, you don''t deserve to live in this world." After that, Zhang Ya became more frenzied. The knife slashed again and again, tearing the photo apart with slits everywhere until it finally became pieces. Looking around carefully, it seemed that Zhang Ya had already shredded quite a few such photos. "You two wretched women, I will eventually kill you. And Lin Tian! You blind fool of a man..." But thinking of Lin Tian''s terrifying strength, and how even the strong Fang Qiang was no match for him, Zhang Ya felt a wave of despair wash over her. If only I had strength surpassing Lin Tian''s, I would definitely make him kneel before me and beg. Just then, a grey energy sphere flew in through the window. "What is this filthy thing? The pollution these days is really severe!" Seeing the grey energy sphere, Zhang Ya disgustingly reached out her little hand to cover her mouth, thinking it was some dirty substance. However, the grey energy sphere seemed to have targeted Zhang Ya, rushing straight at her. Zhang Ya hadn''t expected such a thing to occur, and in a split second of astonishment, the grey energy had already pounced on her. A flood of massive information abruptly appeared in Zhang Ya''s mind. "Hahaha, fortune really favors me, Lin Tian, you will regret this, you definitely will..." Zhang Ya''s lips curled up, revealing a chilling smile. "Does it still hurt?" After Lin Tian''s massage, Chen Yixuan''s ankle seemed much better, no longer swollen like a loaf of bread. "It''s not very painful anymore. I didn''t expect that you could even do massages." "Of course, I know much more. Now, I massaged your foot, shouldn''t you make good on your promise?" "What promise? Lin Tian, you already have two women. They both seem to really like you, you better not let them down." Chen Yixuan was now quite flustered. If she said that she felt nothing for Lin Tian, that would definitely be a lie. But if Chen Yixuan were to get involved with Lin Tian right now, she absolutely couldn''t accept it. Thus, Chen Yixuan firmly grasped the fact that Lin Tian already had two women, trying to get him to back off on his own, and further convincing herself not to fall deeper. "Yixuan, Qianqian and Mengting can coexist peacefully. Why can''t you?" If given the chance tonight, he was determined to conquer the policewoman. "You wish. Thinking of having us three as your girlfriends?" However, it was unclear if it was intentional by Chen Yixuan, or if she genuinely hadn''t noticed Lin Tian''s hand. "You''ve taken all the advantage, let''s leave it at that for today." Based on Lin Tian''s experiences, he insisted that he could definitely get with Chen Yixuan tonight. However, he didn''t plan to force Chen Yixuan. "Alright, let''s stop here for today. But remember, you promised to warm my bed. Don''t think you can get out of it, you can''t escape." Lin Tian slowly retracted his hand, and when leaving, suddenly embraced Chen Yixuan and kissed her. "Damn it, Lin Tian, to think he would just take my first kiss like that." Leaving Chen Yixuan''s house, Lin Tian was still relishing that wonderful kiss. He could feel that Chen Yixuan didn''t really resist him. All the way, he kept savoring the wonderful feeling of being with Chen Yixuan. But suddenly, he felt an unexplainable palpitation. Explore stories at My Virtual Library Empire This feeling only occurred the last time Bu Mengting was poisoned. This time, however, the feeling was not as urgent as the last. "What''s happening? Why do I feel this way?" Lin Tian knew that he possessed precognitive abilities, and such a restless feeling wouldn''t just appear out of the blue. It definitely had to do with either him or someone related to him, and it meant that something dangerous was about to happen. He thought carefully, but couldn''t come up with any particular incident. This couldn''t go on, and if he didn''t act, and if He Qianqian and Bu Mengting weren''t together, something might happen that Lin Tian wouldn''t be able to handle. He decided to find a way to have He Qianqian come over and stay for a while. When he returned to the dormitory, Guo Rong hugged Lin Tian in one swoop. "Lin Tian, that Luo Li is dead." "What Luo Li are you talking about?" Seeing Guo Rong''s expression, Lin Tian guessed that the news of Luo Li''s killing had spread. "The one who called himself the ''Theft God,'' Luo Li. Didn''t you see the news today? The police shot him dead." "It was actually me who killed him." Lin Tian said smugly, and Guo Rong looked at him disdainfully. "Lin Tian, oh, Lin Tian, I always thought you were an honest kid. I didn''t think you''d boast too." In this world, telling the truth is always met with disbelief. Of course, Lin Tian didn''t insist on making Guo Rong believe that he had killed Luo Li. His mind was filled with ways to coax He Qianqian into staying over for a while. After thinking about it all night, Lin Tian finally came up with a clumsy plan. In the morning, he called He Qianqian. He chatted with He Qianqian casually at first, asking about her school life and talking about his own affairs. "Qianqian, my big wife, the Wu''an City University Students'' Swimming Competition is about to start, and I''m feeling a bit panicky." "What''s there to panic about? I heard from Mengting that you swim so fast. You left the second-place finisher half a lap behind, what''s there to worry about?" "No, I''m a bit nervous. This is the Wu''an City University Students'' Swimming Competition after all. There will probably be a lot of people watching, right?" "Yo, our Lin Tian is nervous? That''s rare." "I really am nervous, Qianqian, my big wife, you have to help me." "How can I help you? I''m not a counseling center." "You aren''t a counseling center, but you can help me relax. Could you possibly keep me company these few days before the competition?" This was the method Lin Tian came up with. There was silence on the other end of the phone as He Qianqian probably pondered whether or not to come over. "I still have to work, though." "I see, so work is more important to you than I am. Alright, forget I said anything." Lin Tian acted very disappointed, which quickly alarmed He Qianqian. "What are you talking about, Lin Tian? Okay, I''ll come and keep you company, I''ll just take a few days off." He Qianqian finally agreed to take leave and come to keep Lin Tian company. According to Lin Tian''s plan, he wanted He Qianqian to stay for a few days. Once He Qianqian arrived and met up with Lin Tian, he planned to take her to rent a house. "Why do we need to rent a house?" "You aren''t going back today, so we need a place to stay." Although He Qianqian found it strange, she didn''t ask further. Soon, Lin Tian found a nice apartment near Wu''an University. It was a two-bedroom, one-living-room, measuring about eighty square meters. The monthly rent was two thousand, six months would be twelve thousand. This type of apartment required six months'' rent upfront. Lin Tian wasn''t short on money, so he promptly paid and signed the rental agreement. "Lin Tian, you don''t seem nervous at all." After renting the apartment, the two of them moved in directly. He Qianqian always felt there was something unusual about Lin Tian calling her over this time. "That''s because you, my big wife, are here beside me. I told you, you help me relax." "I don''t believe that. Tell me, what do you really want me to do here? You must have some ulterior motive." He Qianqian was not Bu Mengting, she wasn''t so easily fooled. Lin Tian moved closer to He Qianqian, wrapped his arms around her, and then steadied her lips. "Qianqian, my big wife, I''m telling the truth. I just missed you..."

Chapter 270 Embracing Left and Right He Qianqian was most vulnerable to Lin Tian''s kisses; a single kiss would rob He Qianqian of her ability to think logically. An hour later, the two of them clung tightly to each other. "I know you asked me to come over because you must have something else in mind, but I won''t ask. However, I must go back in three days, otherwise it would be hard to explain to the school." "Three days? That should be about right." Lin Tian did not intend to share his restless thoughts with He Qianqian. After all, it was all just his own feelings; whether something would actually happen was not certain. Having settled things with He Qianqian, Lin Tian then called Bu Mengting. The dormitory at school wasn''t safe, and Lin Tian still felt he should have both of his women by his side to feel at ease. "Lin Tian, you rascal, why didn''t you come to class today? Nor attend the swim practice?" Bu Mengting seemed to be at the swimming pool, as Lin Tian could hear the sound of splashing water over the phone. "I was busy today. By the way, Qianqian is here. I''ve rented a place near the school and Qianqian plans to stay here for a couple of days. Hurry over." "Qianqian is here? You''re up to no good again, aren''t you? I''m not falling for that, I won''t come." Upon hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting knew Lin Tian was up to no good again. "I''m giving you twenty minutes. If you don''t show up, I''ll come find you. Then I''ll carry you back naked." Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire "You wouldn''t dare!" Bu Mengting might have spoken fiercely, but after hanging up the phone, she quickly changed out of her swimsuit and rushed to the house Lin Tian had rented. "Eighteen minutes, hehehe, Mengting, my little wife, you better get here or I''ll come to the school to find you." Lin Tian opened the door and wrapped his arms around Bu Mengting. Bu Mengting neither dodged nor could she; she just let Lin Tian hold her. "Humph, who does this? Still saying you would strip me naked and carry me back." Bu Mengting punched Lin Tian lightly on the chest with her little fists, which was about as effective as a tickle, causing Lin Tian to laugh as he lifted Bu Mengting into his arms. "Hehe, now that everyone''s here, today you two are going to help me relax." He Qianqian still felt that Lin Tian was acting unusual today. "What''s the matter, Qianqian?" Bu Mengting, not as observant as He Qianqian, didn''t notice anything strange about Lin Tian. "Today, Lin Tian strangely asked me to come over and even to take a leave. There must be something going on." "What exactly is happening with Lin Tian? Is there anything you can''t tell us?" Upon hearing this, Bu Mengting also felt that Lin Tian was hiding something. "I''m worried you might encounter danger. Mengting, my little wife, you know about it. Didn''t you almost die from being poisoned that day?" "Ah, are you saying that the two of us could still face danger?" The last time Bu Mengting almost died from poisoning, although she wasn''t aware of it at the time, hearing Guo''er describe it later gave her a fright. "I just have this feeling that you might encounter danger. That''s why I asked Qianqian, my big wife, to take leave. I can only feel at ease if you two are by my side." "You rascal, you tricked me before. No way, I need to teach you a lesson." Once He Qianqian understood Lin Tian''s intentions, knowing that Lin Tian was worried about her, being a woman, He Qianqian clearly understood that she needed to help her man relax as much as possible. She climbed on top of Lin Tian, which directly led to another round of chaotic battling among the three of them. "Hello, is that Lin Tian? The swimming competition starts tomorrow, please be at the school gate at eight in the morning. The school''s vehicle will take you to the venue." In the evening, Lin Tian received a phone call. The call was from the sports director Shi Tie, informing Lin Tian to attend the Wu''an City College Students Swimming Competition the next day. Previously, under Bu Mengting''s persuasion, Lin Tian had agreed to Shi Tie, but now with the unforeseen circumstances, Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant to go. However, before he could decide, Shi Tie had already hung up. Shortly after, Bu Mengting''s phone rang as well, unsurprisingly from Shi Tie, also informing her to meet at the school the next morning to take the vehicle to the venue. Bu Mengting agreed immediately and hung up. "Mengting, my little wife, there''s really danger lately. Maybe you shouldn''t go to this swimming competition." "Why shouldn''t I attend? This is a chance to compete for the school''s honor." Bu Mengting didn''t want to miss it, as she had always wanted to participate in the Wu''an City College Students Swimming Competition to help Wu''an University secure a good ranking. "Didn''t I tell you? We might encounter an accident." "Lin Tian, I think you''re being too anxious. Even if there really is some danger, can we avoid it by hiding? You''re our man, both Mengting and I rely on you. No matter what we face, I hope you won''t be afraid." He Qianqian''s words jolted Lin Tian awake. Right, could hiding really help us evade the danger? "Okay, then let''s participate in the swimming competition. But, Qianqian, my ''big wife,'' you must come with us too," he said. Lin Tian was worried that if He Qianqian stayed behind alone, she might end up isolated and something unexpected might happen. "Of course, I have to go to cheer for you and Mengting. I made a mistake by missing out the last school selection competition. This time, I definitely can''t miss it," she replied. The next day, in the morning. The three of them arrived at the school gates together. After the last selection competition, this time ten students from Wu''an University would participate in the Wu''an City University Student Swimming League¡ªfive male and five female. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Among the males, there was one person Lin Tian knew¡ªNing Cheng, who had pursued Bu Mengting. During that selection competition, influenced by Lin Tian, Ning Cheng hadn''t performed well, and though he could have been second, he ended up in third place. However, he still secured a spot in the competition, representing Wu''an University this time too. The school bus was a coach, and with just ten students, it was far from full. Bu Mengting told the sports director, Shi Tie, that He Qianqian was her sister and had specially come to cheer for Bu Mengting. Shi Tie was easy to speak with and agreed to let He Qianqian join them on the bus. Since the last selection competition, where he lost to Lin Tian, Ning Cheng realized he really couldn''t take advantage against Lin Tian. These past few days, he had been very docile and hadn''t bothered Bu Mengting. However, today, he suddenly discovered that Bu Mengting had such a beautiful sister. Bu Mengting was Lin Tian''s, and Ning Cheng couldn''t compete anymore, nor did he dare to. But Bu Mengting''s sister, well, he thought he might give it a try. That He Qianqian seemed even more charming and alluring than Bu Mengting. Upon boarding, Ning Cheng chose a seat close to Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. He planned to find an opportunity to speak a few words with He Qianqian, hoping to get her phone number. What frustrated Ning Cheng was that he sat in front of Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, while some guy shamelessly sat between the two women. With a hand around Bu Mengting on the left and embracing He Qianqian on the right, not only were both his hands busy, but the two women were also giggling, looking blissfully content to be with him. What''s going on? Did Lin Tian just win over both sisters? The surrounding students had also noticed and were looking at Lin Tian differently. Lin Tian, unconcerned about the stares around him, casually embraced the two women. Ning Cheng finally understood that he truly had no grounds to compare with Lin Tian; they weren''t even in the same league. Looking at Lin Tian and then back at himself, Ning Cheng felt a mix of envy and resentment! Soon, they arrived at the competition venue. The venue was the Wu''an City Swimming Gymnasium, which was packed today. There were students from various colleges, as well as many reporters and spectators who had come after hearing about the event. "Isn''t that Director Shi from Wu''an University?" As soon as Lin Tian and the others got off the bus, they saw a tall, thin man grabbing hold of sports director Shi Tie, acting quite familiar with him. However, Shi Tie''s face didn''t show much pleasure. "Director Meng, I don''t recall us being this close," Shi Tie remarked. "Director Shi, you''re being too standoffish. We''ve been dealing with each other for two or three years now. Of course, you''ve always been defeated by me; I guess you hold a grudge against me, which I understand," said Director Meng. After listening for a while, Lin Tian realized this Director Meng was here to mock Shi Tie. It seemed that in the past few years, Wu''an University had consistently been overshadowed by Wu''an Sports University in swimming competitions, and Director Meng was from Wu''an Sports University. "Getting a few wins and you act all high and mighty, don''t you?" Shi Tie had probably held back against Director Meng for a long time and chose not to do so today. "What do you mean ''letting us win a few times''? Director Shi, your Wu''an University isn''t really a match for us, is it? Just stop boasting," retorted Director Meng. Wu''an University might be considered the best university in Wu''an City overall due to its comprehensive quality, but it obviously couldn''t compare with the students from Wu''an Sports University in athletics. This was why Wu''an University had consistently lost the swimming competitions before. But this time, with Lin Tian present, Shi Tie believed they could easily defeat Wu''an Sports University. "Whether I''m boasting or not, you''ll see during the competition. I just hope, Director Meng, that you won''t end up crying then," Shi Tie responded. "Me, cry? Director Shi, you''re really making me laugh," Meng shot back. The two directors were full of animosity, but both were restrained, ultimately parting ways after some harsh words. "As you all saw, our opponents this time are from Wu''an Sports University. This time, we must win," Shi Tie declared, his gaze constantly on Lin Tian. He believed that winning against Wu''an Sports University this time would entirely depend on Lin Tian. Chapter 271 Big Wife "Lin Tian!" Suddenly, someone was calling Lin Tian''s name. Lin Tian looked over and realized it was the other three guys from the dorm. "How come you guys are here?" "We came to cheer you on. You dude, didn''t even notify us in advance." Feng Jiabao ran over, complaining. In the past few days, Lin Tian was worried about Bu Mengting and He Qianqian getting into trouble and stayed with the two women in the rental house all the time. Yesterday, the physical education director notified him by phone, he also didn''t think to tell the guys in the dorm. Who knew, today, the dorm guys all showed up. "Sorry, I forgot." "It''s fine, just win the championship directly later to make our dorm proud. If you don''t win the championship, you have to treat us to dinner as an apology today." "No problem." Just winning a championship? Lin Tian didn''t see what the big deal was. "Lin Tian, dude, what method exactly did you use to pick up two such beauties?" Seeing Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, the two beauties chatting and laughing harmoniously, Guo Rong was incredibly impressed. Hearing Guo Rong, the others all looked toward Lin Tian. Picking up girls, a lot of guys could do it. And there were those who picked up even more girls than Lin Tian. But making one''s own women acknowledge each other''s existence was really badass. "As long as a man is strong enough, let alone two women, even twenty women can get along. Look at the ancient emperors; didn''t they have the three palaces and six courtyards with seventy-two concubines?" Lin Tian chuckled, quite proud of himself. Back then, to make Bu Mengting and He Qianqian accept each other, Lin Tian indeed put in a lot of effort. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire "The situation is different now, oh man, you really are extraordinary." A few people were quite envious of Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, the director is calling us to head over there quickly." "Alright, I''m coming right away." After speaking briefly with the dorm guys, Lin Tian followed them. He quickly caught up to Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, wrapping an arm around each, making others envious. Guo Rong and the others were dumbfounded. "This Lin Tian is really too much. Just Bu Mengting alone isn''t enough; there''s also another beauty on par with Bu Mengting. And the key is, both women actually get along peacefully." Feng Jiabao looked on enviously, thinking if he could ever hook up with two such beauties, it would make his life worthwhile. "Is everyone here? I have something to tell you." This time, the swimming competition was led by the physical education director, Shi Tie, from Wu''an University. The swimming event was actually quite niche, and Wu''an University didn''t put much emphasis on it. Of course, the key was that Wu''an University hadn''t achieved any notable results in swimming before. No results, naturally, meant even less attention. Shi Tie coughed once, adjusting his tone. "Today is the Wu''an University Swimming Competition. Some of you might look down on this swimming competition, but there''s something I need to remind you. If you achieve good results in this competition, it will add points towards your selection as outstanding students and members. It''s the same with other projects." Shi Tie''s words did have some effect; several students'' eyes already lit up. Among them was Bu Mengting, who came specifically for this. "I won''t say much more about encouraging words. Anyway, everyone just do your best. Okay, now follow me, and we can get familiar with the venue in advance." The swimming competition started in the afternoon. This time, Wu''an University arrived at the venue early, mainly to get familiar with the venue. Swimming, unlike running and other track and field events, has higher requirements for the venue. Getting familiar with the venue beforehand greatly helps the athletes perform. When Shi Tie led the students to the changing room, changed into swimwear, and entered the venue, they found that many schools had already arrived early. The organizers'' capabilities were quite good; each school had its designated area. Wu''an University''s area was right next to Wu''an University of Sports, where the tall and skinny Director Meng was instructing the students'' swimming techniques, looking very strict. "You go and try it out quickly too." Because there were many schools, the area allocated to each school wasn''t big. Basically, each school could get one to two lanes. Wu''an University had a total of ten spots, five males and five females, perfectly divided into two sides. Five people on one side. The five people started with the preparatory actions, getting into the water, and then swimming a section. "Hey, isn''t this Wu''an University''s team? This student''s action is not bad at all; quite standard." The speaker was Director Meng. As soon as Wu''an University arrived, he noticed them. Instead of continuing to instruct his students'' swimming techniques, he stood by Wu''an University''s side. Just then, Ning Cheng was getting into the water. This guy couldn''t swim better than Lin Tian, but after all, he had been in the national swimming team, so his movements were very standard. "Hehe, our school''s students are all very amateurish, not comparable to your university''s students." Director Shi was all smiles, thinking that this time, Wu''an University, with Lin Tian and Ning Cheng, wouldn''t look too bad. "Hehehe, so it''s that Ning Cheng who got eliminated by the national team. This loser is just muddling through at Wu''an University." Just then, a muscular, slightly dark-skinned boy walked over. He was wearing swim trunks, his upper body bare, muscles like slabs of steel, looking even more visually impressive than Ning Cheng. "Which school are you from? You''re so impolite." Director Shi was very annoyed by this sudden appearance of the boy. "Director Shi, don''t be angry. Wang Yongqiang is our Sports University''s top student. Yongqiang, how can you talk to Director Shi like that? Come, apologize to Director Shi." Director Meng feigned a reprimand to Wang Yongqiang, who chuckled dismissively. "I''m sorry, Director Shi, I''m a bit straightforward, but I still have to tell the truth. Your Wu''an University is just a bunch of garbage." "Wang Yongqiang! What did you say?" At that moment, Ning Cheng had just finished swimming a lap and came back just in time to hear Wang Yongqiang''s words and immediately walked over. He and Wang Yongqiang had both trained in the national swimming team, the difference being that Ning Cheng had been eliminated, whereas Wang Yongqiang left because he no longer wanted to stay on the team and chose to go to college instead. "I said your Wu''an University is all worthless. Not convinced? Can you swim faster than me?" In the national team, Ning Cheng was never a match for Wang Yongqiang, the gap was not slight. If they really competed, Ning Cheng definitely couldn''t swim faster than Wang Yongqiang. "Indeed, I can''t swim faster than you, but there is someone at Wu''an University who can beat you." It was just Lin Tian''s turn to hit the water, and like the day of the selection competition, he jumped in straight and splashed water high. Suddenly, he attracted the attention of everyone around, and everyone looking towards Wu''an University seemed a bit off. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hahaha, this is your school''s swimmer? Doesn''t even know how to dive properly and still participating in a swimming competition? Calling you garbage is overrating you; you''re even worse than garbage." After speaking, Wang Yongqiang arrogantly returned to the Sports University side, and Director Meng was almost dying of laughter. "Director Shi, if Wu''an University really has no one, just tell me. I''ll lend you a couple of students to keep up appearances. This student swimming dog paddle in a competition is just too embarrassing." Director Shi watched the pool silently, observing Lin Tian swimming slowly with a dog paddle. "Thank you for your kindness. But I still think that our students at Wu''an University are stronger than those from your Sports University." At that moment, Lin Tian was swimming very slowly as he was getting used to the venue. Having seen Lin Tian swim, Director Shi certainly didn''t believe that Lin Tian wouldn''t win the championship. "It seems Director Shi has a lot of confidence in his student. How about this, Director Shi, let''s make a bet. If not a single one of your Wu''an University students makes it into the top three, then I lose. Otherwise, you lose." "We can bet, but it''s no fun if there''s no stake involved. I just wonder what Director Meng plans to bet?" With Lin Tian as their ace, Director Shi was not afraid to bet with Director Meng. Seeing Director Shi''s attitude, Director Meng also felt it odd. Why is this damned stubborn man so confident? But Director Meng was also confident in his own university''s students, especially Wang Yongqiang,who was among the top performers in the national team. However, his aspirations weren''t in swimming, which was why he was a find for the Sports University. "The loser strips naked and runs back to their school." Director Meng shouted out loud, immediately attracting a lot of attention. This was a high-stakes bet, after all, they were both college professors. If they lost and had to run naked back to school, it would not only damage their reputation, but they might also be directly fired by the administration. "Director Meng, you''re playing a bit too big here. Are you sure you want to go this far?" "What? Director Shi, are you scared?" "I am indeed a bit scared, I''m afraid you''ll lose and not follow through on the bet." "We can record a video as proof first. If anyone reneges, just show the video when we meet. It will guarantee embarrassment." Director Meng''s suggestion was good; recording a video was popular these days. If anyone reneged, just post the video on the opposing school''s forum for good effect. "Then I''ll bet with you." Both men re-recorded the video, each keeping a copy. All the people from Wu''an University had seen Lin Tian swim, and their view of Director Meng shifted. They looked at him as if he were a fool! It was unclear whether Director Meng would run naked back to the Sports University or renege when he lost. Lin Tian swam a lap in the water and then climbed out. Upon climbing out, he was pulled aside by Director Shi. "Lin Tian, you must win the championship this time." "Director Shi, the competition is about participation, whether I win the championship or not doesn''t matter." "How can it not matter? Let me tell you, this time you must win the championship." Director Shi explained the bet he had made with Director Meng, and Lin Tian was momentarily speechless. This was playing way too big. Chapter 272 "Now you know, you have to win me a championship. Then, I''ll privately give you a bonus of 10,000 yuan," said Director Shi, who had actually decided to offer Lin Tian a bonus on the sly. 10,000 yuan wasn''t a big temptation for Lin Tian, but considering that Director Shi didn''t even make that much in a month and was now planning to give it out as a reward, Lin Tian had to show some recognition. "I''ll do my best, Director Shi." At that point, Lin Tian had no other choice; he had to win the championship. The students participating in the competition had already swum twice, and it was about time. Director Shi then took the students back to the restrooms. The restrooms for male and female students were separate. After the opening ceremony, the competition would start right away. As soon as Lin Tian walked into the restroom, he heard someone calling him. He turned around only to see two beauties. It was the Shen sisters. Today, the two sisters were dressed very fashionably. The elder sister, Shen Mengyi, wore a mature outfit¡ªa white shirt under a red blazer and a black pencil skirt, dressed like an office lady, which made Shen Mengyi look very confident. Shen Mengyi, on the other hand, was wearing a tight cartoon T-shirt, the Pikachu on it stretched out of shape, which let one imagine how curvy her figure was. Her lower half was clad in white hot pants, drawing attention to her long, pale legs. "Why are you guys here?" Lin Tian and the Shen sisters were sort of acquainted, especially since Shen Yiran always joked with Lin Tian about pursuing her sister, Shen Mengyi. "Today is the Wu''an City University Swimming League, and my sister is the president of the Broadcasting Club, so she definitely had to come for material collection," he explained. Shen Yiran was carefree, exuding youthful vitality. Shen Mengyi was more mature and steady on the other hand. "Lin Tian, your speed during the selection that day was astonishing. It shouldn''t be hard for you to win the championship this time, should it?" If it hadn''t been for that selection day when Shen Mengyi witnessed Lin Tian''s performance, she might not have come at all. Previously, Wu''an University''s swimming competitions were unranked, and such material wouldn''t be used by the Broadcasting Club. But winning a championship would be a different story. "Uh, it should be achievable," said Lin Tian, trying to be modest, but when he thought about his swimming speed, he genuinely believed no one could surpass him. "I knew you were no ordinary person; you are truly strong. But, your looks could use some work; it''d be great if you had a body like Ning Cheng," said Shen Yiran, squeezing Lin Tian''s chest, somewhat disappointed. This was the first time Lin Tian was harassed by a female ruffian; he was caught off guard and Shen Yiran took advantage of the situation. "That''s all just for show, good-looking but not practical," he replied. "True, they''re just pretty faces without substance. But you''re the real deal, Lin Tian. I heard you''ve even gotten yourself two girlfriends." Shen Yiran''s comments were bold, leaving Lin Tian somewhat frustrated as the news about his two girlfriends seemed to have spread quickly. "Heh, how do you know all this?" "Hey, serious question. If my sister and I became your girlfriends, would you be willing to dump your two girlfriends and date us?" she asked. Lin Tian was stunned. What did Shen Yiran mean by that? Shen Mengyi quickly tugged at Shen Yiran. "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Lin Tian, she''s just joking; don''t take it seriously," she said. "What joke? I know you have feelings for Lin Tian. Just tell me, Lin Tian, if we really became your girlfriends, would you be willing to dump your two girlfriends?" Shen Yiran pressed. "Of course not. I have to go now; it looks like the competition is about to start." Although the Shen sisters were both extremely beautiful, asking Lin Tian to give up He Qianqian and Bu Mengting was out of the question for him. Of course, if the Shen sisters were to join in, he might consider it. The opening ceremony was brief, just a formality with a few words from the leaders, and then the competition began. The women''s group was the first to compete. Many people had come today just to watch the women''s group. The organizers'' scheduling was widely praised for this decision. "Go Mengting!" He Qianqian had always been accompanying Bu Mengting, which wasn''t her usual practice. However, since Director Shi highly valued Lin Tian, he naturally turned a blind eye to this. "I''ll definitely aim for the top three," said Bu Mengting, confident in herself. She had trained rigorously after participating in the school''s selection competition. With dozens of universities and about fifty to sixty women competing, it was naturally impossible for them to all compete at once. The organizers divided the competition into six groups, generally ten people each. Bu Mengting was in the third group. The competition began with the first group. When the ten women in swimsuits appeared, the entire venue erupted in cheers. Although not all ten women were beauties, the sight of ten women in swimsuits and their long legs formed a spectacle in itself. The competition among the women was relatively less fierce, and in the first group, one of the women was doing the dog paddle, just like Lin Tian. However, it did not affect everyone''s enthusiasm for cheering her on. This doggy-paddle girl actually has the best figure in this first group. "Wow, look at that doggy-paddle girl, her figure is really hot." "Having a big chest makes a great figure? I prefer the fastest swimmer, look at the pair of big white legs, so long and straight, that''s a real mermaid." There were many spectators below, each with different aesthetic tastes and reasons for watching the competition. Soon it was Bu Mengting''s turn, and she was a bit nervous. In the previous two rounds, there was only one female swimmer whose speed wasn''t slower than hers. But Bu Mengting was also a very confident girl, and as soon as she entered the field, she fully displayed her strength. She easily took first place in her group, then advanced to the finals. According to the rules, the top two from each group advanced, regardless of time. In the final, everyone swam together, ranked directly by their place. "Go Mengting, I think you can definitely make it to the top three." "It''s a bit difficult, there are four or five girls who swim very fast." He Qianqian was very optimistic about Bu Mengting, but Bu Mengting herself knew that this time she probably wouldn''t make it into the top three, and it wasn''t a matter of confidence. There really was a gap in strength. At this moment, Director Meng was very anxious. He hadn''t expected there to be such a strong female swimmer at Wu''an University with the strength to reach the top four. A sudden burst could possibly bring her to third. If Bu Mengting took third, wouldn''t he lose the bet? The girls'' finals had Director Meng''s full attention, he even thought Bu Mengting was Director Shi''s ace. Alas, he was too impulsive back then. He should have just agreed with Director Shi to compare only the male athletes. The girls'' finals began, and as the referee''s whistle blew, twelve girls jumped into the water together. "Tsk tsk, it was worth coming. These girls, you can''t tell normally. Once they put on swimsuits, their figures are still decent." Feng Jiabao''s eyes shone brightly as he watched and howled. Lin Tao sat there more composed, while Guo Rong found he had more in common with Feng Jiabao. "Exactly. But Bu Mengting not only has a pretty face, but her figure is also very hot. Lin Tian is indeed lucky." "Yeah, our Mengting is really something, I think it''s mainly because Lin Tian groomed her well. However, Mengting''s situation doesn''t look very good." "My goodness, how can those girls swim so fast. I feel like I can''t even swim that fast." Bu Mengting directly landed in fourth place, the three girls ahead of her swam with style and even though Bu Mengting tried her best to catch up, she still ended up in fourth place. "Don''t be discouraged, Mengting, you performed very well. It''s just that those people are too strong." He Qianqian quickly went up to comfort Bu Mengting, but Bu Mengting wasn''t as disheartened as expected. However, not making it into the top three was still somewhat disappointing. "Oh man, that scared me. I thought I was going to lose to this little girl for the rest of my life. Thank goodness she got fourth." Director Meng was very happy with the race results. He directly went to the resting area of Wu''an University. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Director Shi, I really didn''t expect you to have scouted such a strong girl. She nearly made it to the top three, but, your luck just isn''t there. Wu''an University still couldn''t get a student into the top three. You better start thinking about which route you''ll take back to school." "Director Meng, the competition isn''t over yet. You should hurry back and cheer on your students, don''t let them get so nervous that their legs go soft and they can''t swim." "Hmph, tough talk. Just wait until the competition is over, then I''ll see how you can keep being tough." Director Meng had intended to find some fault with Director Shi, and if Director Shi had admitted defeat voluntarily and spoken a few good words to him, he might have considered letting Director Shi wear just underwear back to school. Since Director Shi was so ungrateful, he couldn''t even wear underwear. The girls'' competition was over, and next up was the boys'' competition. Similar to the girls'' competition. As it happened, Wang Yongqiang and Ning Cheng ended up in the same group. "Ning Cheng, I''m going to keep you from advancing." Ning Cheng''s ability could also have made a splash in this competition for the top three spots. But since Director Meng had dared to bet with Director Shi, naturally, he already had a strategy. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire He had long known the schedule and grouping situation through the organizing committee. In the group with Ning Cheng and Wang Yongqiang, there was also a student from the Wu''an School of Economics. This student hadn''t been through the national team but was exceptionally good at swimming. In previous competitions, he was basically always in the top three, better than Ning Cheng. With Wang Yongqiang and the student from the School of Economics, Ning Cheng couldn''t advance. Without Ning Cheng, Wu''an University simply couldn''t achieve a top-three result. "Oh." Ning Cheng also saw the boy from the School of Economics and knew he couldn''t advance. "What''s that look for?" Wang Yongqiang and Director Meng alike hadn''t seen the scene they wanted to see. "Wait until the competition is over, then you''ll know why." Ning Cheng suddenly grinned at Wang Yongqiang, only after facing that monster would you truly understand what despair is. Chapter 273 Champion Without any surprises, Ning Cheng failed to qualify and was eliminated from the group stage. "Hehehe, Ning Cheng couldn''t even qualify, I wonder how Wu''an University will compete." Last time, Director Meng went to see Director Shi and got a cold reception, so this time he simply didn''t go. He would wait until the competition ended, then let Director Shi humbly come to ask for his help. After Ning Cheng was eliminated, the remaining male students from Wu''an University were also eliminated one after another. These students, who were not fast swimmers to begin with, combined with the nervousness from the sizable crowd today, failed to perform well, which was one of the reasons. "Have all the students from Wu''an University been eliminated?" Director Meng approached Wang Yongqiang, who thought for a moment with squinted eyes. "Seems like there''s one left, the one who swims dog paddle." "Hahaha, that''s as good as a total wipeout. As soon as that dogpaddler finishes his race, I''ll go look for Director Shi. Hehe, now he''ll have to return to school with nothing to show." "Wu''an University is just a bunch of trash, the students are trash, and so are the teachers. Director Meng, why do you always target that trashy director?" "What do you know? Back when I was young, Shi and I were both eyeing the same woman, but I ended up the tragic one. That woman, ridiculously, followed Shi. This time, I must make Shi look ridiculous, and let that silly woman realize how foolish she was for not choosing me back then." It turns out that Director Meng and Director Shi actually had such a history, no wonder Meng constantly targeted Shi. Quickly, the competition reached the tenth group, and Lin Tian entered the arena. He was the last contestant from Wu''an University; if he were to be eliminated, then not a single person from Wu''an University would make it to the finals. This had never happened in the history of previous swimming competitions, and as the head of the sports delegation, Director Shi would certainly face criticism from the school authorities if he returned with such results. "Go Lin Tian! Go Lin Tian!" This swimming competition had dozens of spectators from Wu''an University, and as soon as they saw Lin Tian appear, they immediately started cheering loudly. Feng Jiabao was the loudest among them. "Hey! This guy seems to have some influence at Wu''an University." Director Meng suddenly felt a bit uneasy. "Don''t worry, Director Meng, how fast can a guy who only knows how to dog paddle swim?" Hearing Wang Yongqiang''s words, Director Meng also felt he was overthinking it. All ten boys took their positions. "Shhh¡ª" The whistle sounded, and all ten boys plunged into the water simultaneously. Lin Tian remained the focus of everyone''s attention, not because his posture was cool but because it was the most shocking. He jumped into the pool straight as a javelin, standing upright. The splash he created was a full two meters high! "Hahaha, that guy is hilarious. Just with the start, he''s probably already ten meters behind everyone else." "Shi is finished this time." Seeing Lin Tian''s performance, Director Meng felt he had the win in the bag. But soon, he widened his eyes in disbelief. Not only him, but all the spectators watching the swimming competition were taken aback. In the pool, a huge splash was moving forward at a very fast pace, the speed and splashing of the water making it seem as if someone had entered the swimming pool with a motorboat. He easily surged to the first place, turned around at the halfway point, and led all the way, comfortably winning first place. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" "Lin Tian!" Under Feng Jiabao and other Wu''an University students'' leadership, more and more people shouted Lin Tian''s name. "This guy actually took first place with dog paddle, and his speed was so fast. I thought for a moment there was a motorboat in the pool." Wang Yongqiang was dumbfounded, his earlier arrogance gone. Director Meng''s face grew even darker; he didn''t need to watch the finals. This kid who swam dog paddle was bound to be first. Who could swim faster than a motorboat? Only this freak, right? The cheering gradually subsided as the preliminaries came to an end. Then came the highlight of the competition, the finals of the men''s swimming race. All the students who entered the finals were already in position. Sitting in the stands, Director Meng''s face was pale, he didn''t even notice when Wang Yongqiang had left. The finals began, and this time, from the start, the swimming hall erupted with cheers as loud as a tsunami. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian! Lin Tian..." There were no surprises in the result, Lin Tian once again dominated and won first place, becoming the champion. When the referee announced the result, the swimming hall erupted with chants for Lin Tian. "Well done, Lin Tian. When we get back to school, I''ll give you a bonus." Director Shi was grinning from ear to ear, he praised Lin Tian and then confidently went looking for the people from Wu''an Sports University. "Where''s your Director Meng?" "He was just here a while ago, don''t know where he went. Do you need something with our Director Meng?" "No, nothing. Just pass a message to Mr. Meng, from now on, he better hide in the Sports University like a good turtle, and not come out to embarrass himself." It seemed that several students from the Sports University knew about the bet between Director Meng and Director Shi. Hearing Director Shi call their Director Meng a turtle, none of them said a word in response. "Lin Tian, you''re so cool, I just knew you''d be first. Geez, you''ve really stolen the spotlight this time. I noticed several beauties in the stands shouting your name; they must have been conquered by you." Feng Jiabao and several dorm mates surrounded Lin Tian, all smiling broadly. He Qianqian and Bu Mengting had also come by; Bu Mengting''s competition had finished early and she had already changed out of her swimsuit. "Lin Tian, you''re really awesome!" "Lin Tian, you really are the best!" The two women stood on either side of Lin Tian, arousing the envy of those around them. "To celebrate my first-place win, let''s have a big feast tonight. I''ll treat everyone!" Lin Tian had won the championship, and Director Shi had promised to give him a private bonus of ten thousand yuan. "Great!" Everyone cheered in unison. Lin Tian was about to enter the changing room to get dressed, while the others waited for him outside. Just as Lin Tian had put on his pants and was about to put on his shirt, a sudden unexplainable palpitation caused him to stop in his tracks. Not only was he uneasy, but his chest also ached, as if his heart was being clenched by someone''s hand, slowly tightening¡ªthe suffocating sensation nearly overwhelmed Lin Tian. "What''s going on? Could it be?" Lin Tian''s face paled slightly, he hurriedly threw on his clothes and rushed out! Lin Tian quickly exited the changing room and saw Feng Jiabao and the others, but He Qianqian and Bu Mengting were nowhere to be seen. Before, the two women had still been with Feng Jiabao and the others. "Lin Tian, if you''re treating us tonight, we must go to the Golden Dragon Hotel." Seeing Lin Tian come out, Feng Jiabao immediately greeted him with a smile. The Golden Dragon Hotel was a high-end restaurant, clearly intending to have a good meal at Lin Tian''s expense. However, Lin Tian''s mind was not on this at the moment, he urgently asked: "Have you seen Bu Mengting and He Qianqian?" "Is He Qianqian that beauty with Bu Mengting? They were just here." Feng Jiabao scratched his head. Before Lin Tian entered the changing room, they were all together. But as soon as Lin Tian went in, Bu Mengting and that beauty had gone aside to talk. After all, that beauty wasn''t well acquainted with Feng Jiabao and the others. "Where?" Lin Tian''s tone changed, and he grabbed Feng Jiabao''s collar. At this moment, Lin Tian''s eyes were filled with violence, scaring Feng Jiabao. He pointed with his index finger in a direction. "They were just over there before." Lin Tian released Feng Jiabao''s collar and darted toward that spot. But there was no sign of Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. "Lin Tian, what happened?" Although Feng Jiabao felt uncomfortable being grabbed by the collar by Lin Tian, he could tell Lin Tian seemed really anxious. "Bu Mengting and He Qianqian are missing, they must be in danger." "It can''t be. They were just here, what danger could there be? Why don''t you try calling them?" As an onlooker, Feng Jiabao''s first thought was to call the two women. Perhaps the women really went to the restroom. However, Lin Tian was certain that something had happened to the women, and that the calls wouldn''t go through. Still holding onto a slim hope, he dialed Bu Mengting''s phone. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. There was no answer. Then he called He Qianqian''s mobile. This time as soon as he called, he heard He Qianqian''s phone ringtone; it was nearby. Following the ringtone, Lin Tian easily found a bag. It was a ladies'' handbag, one Lin Tian was familiar with, as he had bought it for He Qianqian. "This is He Qianqian''s bag. They definitely ran into trouble." Now Feng Jiabao fell silent, the people were missing and the bag was on the ground. Even if they went to the restroom, they wouldn''t leave their bag behind. "Lin Tian, should we call the police?" "No need, I''ll find them." At this point, the competition was over, and the audience had begun to leave; Lin Tian couldn''t determine where Bu Mengting and the others had been taken. Holding He Qianqian''s bag, he found a corner and took out three coins. Without any visible action, the three coins began to spin rapidly like tops. But when the coins stopped, Lin Tian''s frown deepened. "I can''t divine their location." This was the second time the divination had failed. The first time was with Luo Li. Could it be another superpowered individual had appeared and taken Bu Mengting and He Qianqian? With the divination failing, Lin Tian couldn''t find any clues to search for Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. He was extremely anxious. "Damn it, why target Bu Mengting and He Qianqian? Just after taking down Luo Li, another superpowered individual appears? Is this a coincidence?" No, it wasn''t a coincidence. Lin Tian suddenly remembered that when he had killed Luo Li, a gray Ability Energy Sphere had emerged from Luo Li''s body. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire At that time, the Supernatural Ability System had alerted him, but Lin Tian hadn''t been able to catch that Ability Energy Sphere. It was too fast, and Lin Tian couldn''t catch up. Chapter 274 The Choice of Love The Ability Energy Sphere endowed Luo Li with superpowers, thus another Luo Li could be created. But why target He Qianqian and Bu Mengting? Lin Tian always felt like he had pinpointed the crux of the problem, yet some critical clues eluded him. Just as Lin Tian was burning with anxiety, unsure of what to do, his phone rang. Glancing at the incoming call display, it was an unfamiliar number. Could it be¡­ Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian answered the call. "Hello? Who is this?" "Lin Tian, it''s Zhang Ya." Zhang Ya''s voice on the phone was incredibly cold. A sudden thought struck Lin Tian, and the pieces of the puzzle that had been eluding him clicked into place. "It''s you! Is it you, Zhang Ya?" sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You''re quite smart! Yes, it''s me. I have your two women. Tsk tsk, these two women have quite the figures, only slightly worse than mine. No wonder you''re so smitten by them." "Just let them go, do you know that what you''re doing is illegal?" "Hahaha, Lin Tian, have you gone stupid? Last time I had Fang Qiang poison Bu Mengting, and she nearly died. For you, what does breaking the law matter, even killing means nothing." Zhang Ya''s voice was filled with madness, causing Lin Tian to grow even more nervous, fearing she would harm Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. "What the hell do you want?" "You should know what I want? I only want you. There''s nothing I, Zhang Ya, desire that I haven''t obtained. It was so in the past and will be in the future. I will have you." "In your dreams, Zhang Ya you maniac, just release my women." "What will you do if I don''t release them? Right now, apart from shouting loudly, you can''t do anything. Lin Tian, get this straight. Your women are in my hands. Just obey me and do as I say. Otherwise, I will chop up your women right now, one by one." "No, don''t! Alright, I''ll listen to you. Tell me what to do." To stabilize Zhang Ya, Lin Tian had no choice but to go along with her. "If you want to see your two women, come to this place. Remember, don''t bring anyone else. If I see any irrelevant person, I''ll immediately chop up these two ****." Having said that, Zhang Ya hung up the phone. Immediately after, Lin Tian received a text from Zhang Ya, which contained an address. Lin Tian immediately left the swimming center, hailed a cab, and rushed to the address. Arriving at the destination, it turned out to be an abandoned factory. Lin Tian dismissed the driver and entered the factory alone. "Mengting, Qianqian!" No sooner had Lin Tian entered the factory, he saw Bu Mengting and He Qianqian bound up like dumplings, hanging upside down. "Lin Tian!" The two women also saw Lin Tian and called out in unison. As Lin Tian was about to go and rescue the two women, a cold voice interrupted him. "Lin Tian, if you don''t want your two women to die, just stay where you are and don''t move." Zhang Ya appeared, dragging a chair to sit between Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. In Zhang Ya''s hand was a remote control. "Lin Tian, do you know what this remote control is for?" "Zhang Ya, I''m giving you a chance, quickly release my women." Lin Tian genuinely regretted not having killed Zhang Ya when he had the chance. If he had been ruthless back then and killed Zhang Ya, none of this would have happened. "Tsk tsk, Lin Tian, you''re really something. At this time, you still act so tough? No wonder you''re the man I chose, I''m liking you more and more. But too bad, you don''t like me. Let me tell you what this remote control is for." "I''ve already buried lots of explosives here, enough to blow everything here to the sky. And my remote control can detonate these explosives." Zhang Ya waved the remote control in her hand a few times, showing it to Lin Tian. "This is between you and me; let them go. We can talk it out nicely." "How can it be unrelated? If it weren''t for them, how could you possibly not love me, the number-one beauty in the world? If it weren''t for them, we would have been together long ago. They are just stumbling blocks. Lin Tian, what''s so likable about these two **** that they deserve your love?" Zhang Ya yelled hysterically, provoking a cold laugh from Bu Mengting. "Disgusting, do you know what love is?" "Shut your mouth!" Zhang Ya immediately slapped Bu Mengting across the face, the force was so strong that Bu Mengting''s face immediately swelled up. "Mengting!" Seeing Bu Mengting being hit, Lin Tian became anxious and rushed forward a few steps. "Stop right there!" Zhang Ya raised the remote control in her hand and then glared coldly at Lin Tian. "Step back!" "Zhang Ya, if you press that remote control, you''ll also be blown up." "Hahaha, that''s just perfect. I can die with the one I love; this end isn''t so bad. Step back, or I''ll detonate the bomb right now." Zhang Ya had clearly gone insane. Lin Tian thought for a moment and then took two steps back to where he was before. "Good, now I''m in control. Lin Tian, you like these two women, right? Today, I''m going to show you their true colors. These bitches don''t like you at all." As she spoke, Zhang Ya pulled out a gleaming dagger. She walked over to He Qianqian and then cut the ropes binding her hands with the dagger. "Your name is He Qianqian, right?" "Yes, I am He Qianqian. You must be Zhang Ya. I remember you from the zoo; Lin Tian saved you that day. Think about it carefully and don''t do anything foolish. Love cannot be forced." He Qianqian had recognized Zhang Ya from the beginning, but she had never imagined that Zhang Ya could be so crazy. She still planned to persuade Zhang Ya to turn back. "What do you know? If it weren''t for you two cheap women, Lin Tian would definitely like me. I am the most beautiful woman in the world, but you two sluts have bewitched Lin Tian." "Zhang Ya, it''s wrong for you to say that. We are truly in love with Lin Tian." "Hahaha, truly in love?" Zhang Ya burst into crazed laughter and then fixed her eyes on He Qianqian. Zhang Ya''s expression turned even colder as she handed the dagger into He Qianqian''s hand. He Qianqian didn''t understand what Zhang Ya was planning, but she still grasped the dagger. "I have a remote that can detonate the explosives in this factory. If the explosives go off, we will all be blown to smithereens. He Qianqian, if you really love Lin Tian, use this dagger to slash your face now. Otherwise, I''ll detonate the explosives, and we''ll die together." "Qianqian, my wife, don''t listen to her. She''s a maniac. Don''t worry, I have a way, I have a way to save you." Lin Tian, from a distance, became anxious upon hearing this. "What will it be? Will you disfigure yourself or let us all die together? This is a choice of love. If you truly love Lin Tian, disfigure yourself and sacrifice yourself to save Lin Tian''s life." Zhang Ya stared at He Qianqian, rotating the remote control in front of her eyes. "Sister Qianqian, don''t listen to her." Bu Mengting tried to stop He Qianqian, but Zhang Ya immediately slapped her, knocking Bu Mengting unconscious with a single blow. "Make your choice now. I will count to three. If you don''t start disfiguring yourself by the time I reach three, I''ll detonate the explosives. One!" Zhang Ya shouted out loud and watched with excitement as He Qianqian struggled. Hmph, this bitch, how could she possibly disfigure herself for Lin Tian? The fact proves only I love Lin Tian the most. I would do anything for him, even die. Lin Tian belongs to me, Zhang Ya, alone. But what Zhang Ya didn''t expect was, before she could even count to two, He Qianqian had already begun. The dagger in her hand swiftly made a cut across her face. A red mark appeared on He Qianqian''s face, and soon bright red blood began seeping out. "Zhang Ya, let me tell you. I love Lin Tian and I can do anything for him. You don''t understand what love is at all." He Qianqian looked at Zhang Ya, the dagger in her hand making another bloody mark on her face. Tears sparkled in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. However, it seemed like He Qianqian felt no pain as she continued making one cut after another. Soon, He Qianqian''s face was covered with bloody marks, with blood droplets falling to the ground continuously. "Qianqian!" Lin Tian''s eyes turned bloodshot! He felt completely stunned! "Ah!" With a roar, Lin Tian charged forward! "Lin Tian, what are you doing? If you take another step forward, I''ll detonate the bomb." Zhang Ya hadn''t anticipated that He Qianqian would actually disfigure herself, but now she was even more delighted. "Go ahead and detonate it. Today I must kill you." Every vein in Lin Tian''s body began to boil, his eyes turning a deep red. In his vision, every scene was tinged with blood. Suddenly, he moved. Zhang Ya instinctively tried to press the remote, barely beginning to move when a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Lin Tian! He crossed the distance with unbelievable speed, striking the hand holding the remote with a punch. Zhang Ya didn''t have time to react before Lin Tian''s punch hit! Bang! The powerful force instantly blew Zhang Ya''s arm apart! The remote controller dropped with a snap! "Ah!" The severe pain made Zhang Ya scream. "Lin Tian, I will kill you." Having lost one arm, Zhang Ya seemed even more deranged. She started to fight Lin Tian using her two legs and remaining arm. Enraged, Lin Tian struck fiercely, and Zhang Ya couldn''t defend herself. Soon she was hit by Lin Tian with three punches and a kick, knocking her to the ground. Chapter 275 Zhang Ya Escapes "How is that possible, how can you be so strong?" Zhang Ya picked herself up from the ground, her face filled with disbelief. Originally, Zhang Ya thought she had acquired extraordinary abilities, and dealing with Lin Tian would be a piece of cake, completely subduing him under her feet. It was only upon truly clashing with him that she realized things were not as she had imagined. "Zhang Ya, you... you must die today!" In the fight with Zhang Ya, Lin Tian also felt that Zhang Ya indeed had obtained that clump of gray energy, and had become a superpowered individual. No wonder Lin Tian had been unable to divine Bu Mengting and He Qianqian''s whereabouts before. With Lin Tian''s current level of divination, it would fail whenever it involved superpowered individuals. "Hmph, you think you can kill me?" Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire Zhang Ya quickly retreated, keeping a distance from Lin Tian. She looked unwillingly at her arm broken by Lin Tian; the hand still clutched the remote control for the explosives. "You won''t be able to run!" Lin Tian chased after her, throwing out a punch. This punch concentrated all of Lin Tian''s strength; if it hit, Zhang Ya surely wouldn''t be able to withstand it. "Lin Tian, I''ve told you, you belong to me, sooner or later. I will come back!" Zhang Ya also realized that she probably couldn''t escape this punch, so she decisively used Instant Teleportation and vanished on the spot. Bang! Lin Tian''s punch hit the air! "Damn it!" Lin Tian watched as Zhang Ya teleported away, hitting his own chest with a fist, filled with regret. Today he hadn''t brought the Ancient Sword, without unleashing that one sword strike, it was simply impossible to keep Zhang Ya who possessed Instantaneous Movement. "Lin Tian, forget about that crazy woman. Come and check on Qianqian." Bu Mengting had woken up at some point, and upon seeing Lin Tian drive Zhang Ya away, she felt considerably relieved. But when she turned her head and saw He Qianqian''s face covered in blood, her heart immediately tightened. Without needing Bu Mengting to say it, Lin Tian also knew that he couldn''t catch up with Zhang Ya. Turning around, he went back to Bu Mengting and He Qianqian''s side. "Qianqian my dear wife, don''t worry, as long as I''m here, I won''t let anything happen to you." Lin Tian first laid He Qianqian and Bu Mengting down and untied the ropes around them, then he started checking He Qianqian''s injuries. Just now, He Qianqian had slashed her face with a dagger, leaving a dozen cuts. Although none were deep, she had lost quite a lot of blood. Most importantly, there might be scars on her face. For a beauty, that was the most devastating thing. "Lin Tian, you have to find a way to save Qianqian, she..." Bu Mengting began to cry uncontrollably at the sight of He Qianqian''s bloodstained face. Because of Lin Tian, Bu Mengting and He Qianqian had come to accept each other as sisters. He Qianqian, being the older, had taken great care of Bu Mengting. "Mengting my little wife, don''t cry. I have a way." Lin Tian thought of the Healing Water from last time; since it could help Bu Mengting detoxify, it should be able to treat He Qianqian''s injuries. He opened the system''s exchange interface and decisively used a Supernatural Point to exchange for Healing Water. Last time Bu Mengting was poisoned and needed to drink the Healing Water. This time He Qianqian had external injuries, so Lin Tian applied the Healing Water directly to He Qianqian''s face. The moment the Healing Water touched He Qianqian''s face, the wounds on her face quickly healed as if time was reversing, the blood was absorbed back into the wounds, and in the blink of an eye, the beauty of her face was restored and it seemed even smoother and more radiant than before. "My God, Lin Tian, what did you just use? Qianqian''s face has completely recovered." Bu Mengting, on the side, was stunned, and as a woman, she carefully observed that He Qianqian''s skin seemed even better now. Her eyes were filled with eagerness as she looked at Lin Tian. "This is Healing Water. But it''s incredibly rare, that was my last drop." Lin Tian saw the longing in Bu Mengting''s eyes for the Healing Water, but after all, it was exchanged using Supernatural Points. Now that Zhang Ya also had superpowers, Lin Tian had to save all his Supernatural Points to deal with Zhang Yan. "Stingy, I didn''t even ask for it, and you already say there is none left. By the way, Lin Tian, how did Zhang Ya become like this?" Lin Tian never told Bu Mengting that her previous poisoning was orchestrated by Zhang Ya. Even now, Bu Mengting didn''t fully understand the depth of Zhang Ya''s hatred for her and He Qianqian. "That woman has psychological issues. Remember how I saved her at the zoo last time? She asked for my phone number, then she found me several times, claiming she liked me and wanted me to abandon you two to become her boyfriend. Of course, I refused, and out of love-turned-hate, she wanted to kill you and He Qianqian. The poisoning incident before, that was her doing." Lin Tian decided not to keep the truth hidden anymore and laid everything out in the open. After hearing Lin Tian''s words, Bu Mengting''s eyes widened. "Oh my God, Zhang Ya is that crazy. But you, always spreading tender feelings everywhere. This time you''ve drawn out a disaster. But why did Zhang Ya become so powerful all of a sudden, feeling like Superman." This question, Lin Tian didn''t tell Bu Mengting. After all, Bu Mengting was just an ordinary person, and knowing too much would do her no good. Lin Tian feigned ignorance, saying he wasn''t quite clear either, but Zhang Ya was very dangerous, and he couldn''t let her continue to exist. "You want to kill Zhang Ya?" "If I don''t kill her, she will target you. With Zhang Ya''s current strength, you would be absolutely powerless to resist. Against Zhang Ya, you have no chance of fighting back at all." "You''re right. Then hurry up and go, I''ll take Qianqian back home, let''s not report this incident here to the police." Bu Mengting''s arrangements were not wrong, but Lin Tian''s mind was all on He Qianqian now. He was worried that something unexpected might happen to the two women again. He brought Bu Mengting and He Qianqian directly back to the rented house. sea??h th§× novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Where''s Zhang Ya?" Upon returning home, He Qianqian slowly woke up. Her first concern was not her own face but about Zhang Ya. "Zhang Ya was driven away by Lin Tian, Qianqian sis, don''t worry anymore." "Oh, right, my face." After hearing that Zhang Ya had been driven away by Lin Tian, He Qianqian finally had time to think about her face and hurriedly reached out to touch it. But there were no crisscrossing scars as she had imagined, only a face as flawless as white jade, smooth like silk. "How, how did this happen? Wasn''t I, wasn''t I disfigured? Is plastic surgery really that advanced now?" She even thought that Lin Tian had sent her for plastic surgery directly. "Qianqian my main wife, it wasn''t plastic surgery. I used Healing Holy Water to heal your face." After Lin Tian explained, He Qianqian wasn''t as curious as Bu Mengting. She just uttered an "oh" and didn''t ask where Lin Tian''s Healing Holy Water had come from. "Right, why would Zhang Ya do something like that? It''s as if she had gone crazy." Lin Tian explained everything to He Qianqian all over again, just as he had told Bu Mengting before. "To think there are women like that. Lin Tian, what do you plan to do next?" "I need to find Zhang Ya and then kill her." As Lin Tian spoke, his whole body''s aura erupted, emitting waves of killing intent. This was the first time He Qianqian and Bu Mengting had seen Lin Tian like this. "Lin Tian, don''t be like this, you look really scary right now." He Qianqian felt that Lin Tian''s current state was very unusual and offered a word of caution. "Qianqian my main wife, you and Mengting my secondary wife are my women. Since Zhang Ya dared to make a move on you, I will definitely not let her off. Rest assured, I know what I''m doing. I''m going to look for Zhang Ya now; you two stay in the house and don''t move." After finishing, Lin Tian went to another room and took out the Ancient Sword. To deal with Zhang Ya, who could use Instant Teleportation, only this sword could kill her. However, since Lin Tian had taken the two women home, a lot of time had passed, and Zhang Ya had long since fled to some unknown place. In the vast Wu''an City, even with superpowers, Lin Tian couldn''t possibly search every place. Stepping outside, Lin Tian felt the night breeze on his face, and his mind began to clear a bit. He must find someone to help; he definitely couldn''t find Zhang Ya on his own. The first person he thought of was Chen Yixuan, but Lin Tian immediately dismissed the idea. Chen Yixuan''s influence was too small; he needed to find Zhong Guo. Chen Yixuan had said that Zhong Guo had already been promoted to department head. The head of the Public Security Department should be able to mobilize the entire police force of Wu''an City. Zhong Guo had just finished work when a few subordinates tried to persuade him to go out for dinner, but he declined. Having just taken his position as department head, he was not too familiar with personnel matters and took the same approach to all the subordinates trying to curry favor with him¡ªif he could avoid them, he would. Just as he arrived home, Zhong Guo stopped at his front door. "Department Head Zhong, long time no see." "Lin Tian? What made you think to look for me?" Zhong Guo was certainly aware of who Lin Tian was; in his mind, Lin Tian was an extremely mysterious person. "I have an important matter to discuss with Department Head Zhong. Let''s find a place to talk." "Then please come inside and take a seat." Zhong Guo gestured invitingly and let Lin Tian into his home. "Lao Zhong, you''re back?" Right upon entering, a ******** greeted him, who according to her appearance, seemed to be Zhong Guo''s spouse. "Eh, who is this?" "Oh, a friend of mine. We have something to discuss, you go about your business; don''t mind us." Zhong Guo casually replied, pulling Lin Tian into the study and then directly locking the door. "Speak plainly, what''s the matter?" "Department Head Zhong, you should know about a criminal named Luo Li, right?" "Luo Li? Of course. Some time ago, that Luo Li really gave me a headache. If it weren''t for Xiao Chen, I nearly lost my position as department head." Zhong Guo also felt a bit unlucky; having just become the department head, he encountered such a brazen criminal as Luo Li. During the days when Luo Li was on the loose, he was called in for questioning by the city leaders every day and couldn''t hold his head up high. Fortunately, in the end, Luo Li was shot and killed by Chen Yixuan, which ironically turned into a good thing. Not only did Chen Yixuan receive credit, but Zhong Guo himself was praised for strong leadership. These days, Zhong Guo could be described as triumphant, firmly securing his position as department head. "If you know about Luo Li, then you must be aware that Luo Li wasn''t an ordinary person, right?" Chapter 276 Whats there to fear? "Lin Tian, you seem to know quite a bit about Luo Li''s situation." Actually, Zhong Guo only found out that Luo Li wasn''t an ordinary person after Chen Yixuan had shot and killed him. After Luo Li was killed, someone from above actually came specifically to talk to Chen Yixuan. Later, Zhong Guo received the news that Chen Yixuan might be promoted exceptionally, as Luo Li was not an ordinary person but a superpowered individual with a superpower. "Of course, because Luo Li was killed by me." There''s no use beating around the bush. If he wanted Zhong Guo to help, he had to make Zhong Guo realize the danger posed by Zhang Ya. This was the strategy Lin Tian had thought of on his way here. "Oh, I was wondering how little Chen could have possibly killed Luo Li. So it was your doing. But now that Luo Li is dead, are you coming to me to claim credit?" At first, Zhong Guo thought Lin Tian had come to claim credit. But Lin Tian shook his head. Read new adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "I''m not interested in credit. What I''m here to tell you today is something else. When Luo Li died, a grey Ability Energy Sphere flew out of his body. I guessed that must be an Ability Energy Sphere. Whoever gets it will have the same superpower as Luo Li. But unfortunately, I let the Ability Energy Sphere escape. Now someone else has gotten hold of it, and it''s a crazed person¡ªanother Luo Li is about to emerge." Lin Tian had also agonized over whether to tell Zhong Guo about this situation. Since there was a Luo Li, Lin Tian suspected there were probably many more superpowered individuals, especially someone in as high a position as Zhong Guo, who likely knew some secrets. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Another Luo Li? Is what you''re saying true?" After the matter with Luo Li was settled last time, the people from above specifically found Zhong Guo and told him to report immediately if he encountered such a situation again. They would send someone to deal with these superpowered individuals. "Yes, I''m sure of it. She has inherited Luo Li''s superpower and also his recklessness and madness." Lin Tian briefed Zhong Guo on what had just happened. Zhong Guo was shocked to hear that Zhang Ya had filled an abandoned factory with explosives. If the explosives were successfully detonated, he, the head of the police department, would be done for. "So, this Zhang Ya is indeed as dangerous as Luo Li. I must report this immediately and request support." "There''s no need for that now. I''ve already injured Zhang Ya. What I need you to do now, Director Zhong, is to dispatch the police to search for Zhang Ya''s whereabouts. Zhang Ya is too dangerous. Every second she''s alive could bring catastrophic destruction to Wu''an City." "I fully agree with you. Well then, I will report to the higher-ups while dispatching police forces to search for Zhang Ya." Lin Tian nodded. As the head of the police department, Zhong Guo had discovered this matter and had to report it to the higher-ups. "It''s all on you now, Director Zhong. I''ll go out and try my luck. Notify me immediately if you have any news." After Lin Tian left, Zhong Guo also left his house and made several calls to his subordinates on the way. By the time he arrived at the police department, everyone was there and he directly assigned the mission. Soon, the police forces of Wu''an City sprang into action. Lin Tian was wandering casually on the streets, hoping to bump into Zhang Ya by luck. But Lin Tian soon gave up idling about. With no news from Zhong Guo, Lin Tian was getting anxious. He found a secluded place, planning to use divination. Lin Tian''s divination skills were somewhat low-level; when the target was a superpowered individual, his divination was very unlikely to succeed. But Lin Tian was desperate this time. If he didn''t find Zhang Ya soon and she recovered from her injuries, Bu Mengting and He Qianqian would be in danger again. He couldn''t be with the two women all the time, and Zhang Ya had many opportunities to strike. One divination attempt, ineffective. Two attempts, still ineffective. Three attempts, still ineffective. ... Lin Tian didn''t know how many times he had attempted divination; when he once again used a special technique to make the three coins spin, the spin wasn''t as cool as before, wobbling down after a few twists. "Pfft!" A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out, and Lin Tian''s face turned pale as he collapsed to the ground. He clenched his fist tightly and smashed it hard against the ground. "Zhang Ya, I won''t let you off." Though he said this, Lin Tian knew he couldn''t go on. Otherwise, even if he got news of Zhang Ya, with his current state, it was uncertain who would fall when confronting her. After contacting Zhong Guo again, Zhong Guo said he still hadn''t found any trace of Zhang Ya. It seemed that Zhang Ya, knowing Lin Tian wouldn''t let her off, likely used Instantaneous Movement to flee and had been running non-stop, leaving Wu''an City. Otherwise, it was impossible for Zhong Guo to have not even a shred of information. Realizing that it was impossible to find Zhang Ya, Lin Tian didn''t go home but found a hotel to stay in overnight to recover his strength. His forceful use of divination had taken its toll. If he went straight home, he would definitely cause the two women to worry. In the morning, Lin Tian had recovered his spirits. Zhong Guo''s call came in. "How is it? Have you found Zhang Ya?" "We found her, but..." Director Zhong''s tone didn''t seem to carry any good news. "But what?" "The clue we got is that Zhang Ya has already left Wu''an City." "Since you''ve tracked down the clue, you should know where she went, right?" Lin Tian was determined to chase and kill Zhang Ya. "Zhang Ya has already left the country, to be precise, she has left Huaxia." "What? She actually ran off abroad!" Lin Tian was stunned, realizing that if she had fled abroad, he would not be able to continue the pursuit. This Zhang Ya, she was indeed decisive. "Do you know which country she went to?" "We only know it''s in Western Europe, but the specific country is unclear." Western Europe had many countries; it seemed that this was all the information Director Zhong could provide. This time, Zhang Ya truly escaped. But since Zhang Ya was gone, Bu Mengting and He Qianqian should temporarily be safe. "I got it, Director Zhong, thank you very much for your help this time." After exchanging pleasantries with Director Zhong, Lin Tian hung up the phone. Zhang Ya actually fled abroad, it seemed she was aware that Lin Tian would stop at nothing to kill her. She indeed had the foresight. As long as Zhang Ya was alive, Lin Tian couldn''t rest easy, for with her character, once healed, she would definitely return. Next time, Zhang Ya would be even more terrifying, as she would have known Lin Tian''s strength. She definitely wouldn''t face Lin Tian head-on, like this time, but would instead directly target the two women. He must find her before Zhang Ya recovered from her injuries. But when it came to foreign affairs, Lin Tian was entirely clueless. After pondering for a while and coming up with nothing, Lin Tian returned to his rented house. "Lin Tian, have you come back?" Both women had already gotten up, dressed in nightgowns. Bu Mengting opened the door. Standing at the doorway, through her sheer nightgown, Lin Tian could see that Bu Mengting was actually bare underneath. Her ample breasts, unrestrained, swayed enticingly. Lin Tian slipped right in, then closed the door behind him. Subsequently, he reached out, pulling Bu Mengting into his embrace. "Yes, I''m back. Did you sleep well last night?" Lin Tian thought He Qianqian was asleep, so he moved gently. But when he set Bu Mengting down, he noticed He Qianqian''s body tremble for some reason. "Qianqian, my big wife, you''re not being honest. Pretending to sleep¡ªI''ll see how I shall punish you today." Lin Tian tore a cup and pounced directly on He Qianqian. The three of them skipped breakfast and romped until noon. They only got up at midday, dressed, and went out to a restaurant for lunch. "A lot has happened these past few days, but now things are finally winding down. Today we should really relax." "Why are things winding down? Didn''t you take care of Zhang Ya last night?" Bu Mengting lacked He Qianqian''s composure; although He Qianqian had already thought of this, she had not asked Lin Tian about it. But Bu Mengting was different, she hadn''t considered it before, and now when she heard Lin Tian mention winding down, she remembered Zhang Ya''s issue. "No, Zhang Ya escaped." "Ah, so will she come back after she''s healed?" It was a question all three had the answer to. Lin Tian said with certainty, "That crazy woman will definitely come back. And the next time she does, she''ll probably strike at you two directly." This was Lin Tianyi''s greatest concern. He wasn''t afraid of Zhang Ya''s superpower, but he did worry about her targeting his two women. "What''s there to fear? Our man is so powerful, if he could drive away Zhang Ya once, he can do it twice." He Qianqian, out of character, clung to Lin Tian''s waist, expressing her confidence in Lin Tian with her body. "Right, Lin Tian, you can definitely do it. I believe in you too." Bu Mengting also hugged Lin Tian, and he silently resolved in his heart to find and deal with Zhang Ya before she could return. To deal with Zhang Ya, Lin Tian couldn''t afford to be passive; he had to take the initiative. Because he didn''t want to put Bu Mengting and He Qianqian in danger. Chapter 277 Deep Lessons "It''s been so long since the three of us went out together, let''s go shopping." He Qianqian said. Seeing that the two women were somewhat depressed because of Zhang Ya''s situation, Lin Tian suggested they all go shopping together. "I don''t want to go shopping, I want to visit your university. I want to recapture the feelings from my college days, otherwise, I feel like I''m getting old." He Qianqian suddenly proposed to visit Wu''an University. Neither Lin Tian nor Bu Mengting would refuse, and since they lived close to the university, they walked there hand in hand. "This is the Experimental Building." Lin Tian pointed at a red building and introduced it to He Qianqian. Since graduation, He Qianqian had been teaching and didn''t have much time to wander around. Now, walking around the university with Lin Tian and Bu Mengting, she suddenly felt as though she had returned to her college days. "What''s that building over there?" He Qianqian asked, pointing at a white building. "That''s the auditorium where we hold events," Lin Tian replied. After a tour of Wu''an University, He Qianqian said she needed to return to school. When Lin Tian had coaxed He Qianqian into coming here, she had only taken three days off, and it was about time she went back. "Qianqian, don''t go back. I''m worried..." Lin Tian had just started speaking when He Qianqian interrupted him. "Lin Tian, you don''t need to say more. I''m not scared by someone like Zhang Ya. I believe that my man will protect me." Hearing He Qianqian''s words, Lin Tian was instantly silenced. After sending He Qianqian off, Bu Mengting said she also wanted to return to the dormitory, but Lin Tian disagreed. "Mengting, my little wife, what do you mean by this? Qianqian, the big wife, is going back to work at the school. Since we both study at Wu''an University, why are you going back to the dormitory? Isn''t our house right here?" "Uh, I think it''s better if we still stay in the dorms during the school term," Bu Mengting replied before trying to make a run for it. Of course, Lin Tian didn''t give Bu Mengting the opportunity to escape and quickly grabbed hold of her. "Mengting, my little wife, looks like you need a good talking-to. Tonight I''m going to sort you out properly." "Are you still going back to the dormitory or not?" Soon, Bu Mengting gave in and agreed not to return to the dorm. What followed was naturally a passionate night. The next day, Lin Tian and Bu Mengting got back to normal. They attended different classes, so they parted ways. During class, Lin Tian was constantly thinking about how to strike first. If he could contact a foreign intelligence organization, he should be able to locate Zhang Ya effectively. "Lin Tian, what are you thinking about?" Guo Rong noticed Lin Tian was daydreaming in class and nudged him. Guo Rong, looking somewhat lecherous, pointed at a girl in red in the row of seats to the right. Lin Tian glanced over and could only see her backside, which was indeed well-shaped. Especially from their view, they could see the girl''s buttocks, which were full and round. "If you like what you see, take action. What good is it just thinking about it in your head?" "It''s not that I lack confidence, I''m just not you. I''m a foodie, you know. Chasing girls and stuff, I''m really not good at it." Indeed, Guo Rong was a foodie, and he began to attack his stash of snacks again. Maybe Guo Rong wasn''t actually interested in the girl, he just appreciated beautiful women, his true love was undoubtedly the snacks he held in his hands. After class, Lin Tian planned to find Bu Mengting. The incident with Zhang Ya had truly frightened him, and he had to see Bu Mengting whenever he had the time. At that moment, Bu Mengting was indeed having some trouble. Just as she and Guo''er had left the classroom, they were blocked by Ning Cheng. This time Ning Cheng was not alone; he had brought several people with him. Ning Cheng had pursued Bu Mengting quite gentlemanly at first. But having been beaten by Lin Tian and losing even worse in swimming, being eliminated in the group stage of the swimming competition, hit Ning Cheng hard. Thus, he decided to seek revenge against Lin Tian and Bu Mengting. It just so happened that a few of his close buddies had arrived in Wu''an City to hang out with him, and these were his true friends whom he had known since childhood. Each of these buddies was an expert! Ning Cheng planned to use this opportunity to conquer Bu Mengting. "Mengting, please accept this bouquet of roses. I''m giving you just one to say that my love for you is wholehearted. Be my girlfriend, please. Lin Tian isn''t satisfied with just you; he''s got other women too. Staying with him is nothing but suffering. Trust me, leave him and come with me instead. He can''t give you the happiness you deserve." Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Ning Cheng''s buddies stepped aside, enclosing Bu Mengting and Zhang Guo''er in the middle. "Ning Cheng, how many times do I have to tell you, I don''t like you, my boyfriend is Lin Tian. No matter what you say, my boyfriend will always be Lin Tian. Move aside right now, or you''ll regret it when Lin Tian gets here." Bu Mengting slapped away the roses in Ning Cheng''s hand and tried to walk away, pulling Zhang Guo''er with her. "No rush to leave, ladies! The weather''s so nice today, and we friends would like to invite the beauties for a walk to clear your minds." Unexpectedly, Ning Cheng''s men blocked Bu Mengting''s path directly. Their gazes brazenly swept over Bu Mengting and Zhang Guo''er. "What do you think you''re doing? This is a university, if you don''t move aside now, I''m going to call the police." "So what if it''s a university? Can the police control who we love freely? Right, guys?" "Exactly, we''re in love freely, they can''t meddle in this." The men spoke frivolously, some even dared to lay hands on Bu Mengting. sea??h th§× N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Just then, a figure suddenly appeared. "Dare to trouble my woman, you''re looking for death!" Lin Tian slowly retracted his fist, and the moment Bu Mengting saw Lin Tian, her eyes lit up. "Lin Tian, these guys are hooligans, teach them a good lesson." Lin Tian had just arrived when he saw the group of men blocking Bu Mengting and even trying to take advantage of her. He immediately rushed over at top speed and prevented those losers from succeeding. At this moment, Ning Cheng, seeing Lin Tian had arrived, instinctively felt a bit afraid. However, remembering his buddies around him, Ning Cheng regained his courage. Even if Lin Tian was formidable, there was just one of him, and he was surrounded by many brothers, he couldn''t believe they wouldn''t be able to take down just one person. "It''s him, the jerk who hit me last time." "Ning Cheng, you''re such a wimp, to be scared by this wretched stick. Brothers, let''s do it together, beat him up!" Ning Cheng''s buddies immediately surrounded Lin Tian, emboldened by their numbers. But soon, they couldn''t act so arrogantly. Lin Tian, unafraid, faced several of them head-on. Not one of the guys could touch even the hem of Lin Tian''s clothes before they were all laid out by him. Moreover, each of their faces was turned into a pig''s head by Lin Tian, who had deliberately targeted their faces. In the end, only Ning Cheng was left. "Ning Cheng, I really admire you for daring to come after my woman again. This time, I''m going to teach you a memorable lesson." As Lin Tian spoke, he launched a kick, aiming right for Ning Cheng''s crotch. Already quite fearful of Lin Tian, Ning Cheng grew pale at the sight of this kick. Lacking any will to resist, he only thought about how to escape. "Aaah!" With a miserable scream, Ning Cheng still couldn''t escape and Lin Tian''s kick hit him right where it hurt. Lately, the situation with Zhang Ya had left Lin Tian feeling quite frustrated and angry. As Ning Cheng kept provoking Bu Mengting repeatedly, Lin Tian decided to teach Ning Cheng a harsh lesson. "You, you..." "Lin Tian, let me tell you, this isn''t over; I''ll remember you," Ning Cheng said as he left, pompously issuing a few words of defiance, but Lin Tian didn''t care in the slightest. If Ning Cheng really had the guts, he wouldn''t have barked threats; he would have fought then and there. "Lin Tian, you''re so awesome. Mengting, you''re so lucky¡ªI''m so envious of you," Zhang Guo''er said. She had been terrified when surrounded by the men and even had a small indiscretion forced upon her by one of them. Zhang Guo''er also harbored intense hatred towards Ning Cheng and his posse. "Of course! This is my man, Bu Mengting''s man. That Ning Cheng is just too disgusting." Bu Mengting leaned on Lin Tian''s shoulder, feeling inexplicably safe by his side. "Yeah, I used to think Ning Cheng was a tall, rich, and handsome guy, but it turns out he''s only bright on the outside but dark on the inside." Zhang Guo''er grumbled, it seemed that she might have had some thoughts about Ning Cheng before, but now she had clearly seen Ning Cheng''s true colors. Chapter 278 Shadow Night fell, and in the rented house where Lin Tian lived, he stealthily got up, glanced at Bu Mengting who was sound asleep in the bed, and then tiptoed out of the room. Zhang Ya had fled abroad, but Lin Tian knew that to put an end to this situation, Zhang Ya had to disappear from this world. However, to track down Zhang Ya''s whereabouts, the help of some intelligence organizations was necessary. These past few days, Lin Tian had not been idle and had finally found an organization called Shadow. This organization was a global intelligence agency. Shadow dealt with information ranging from investigating affairs to state secrets. As long as you could pay the price, they could even find out what color underwear the First Lady of M country was wearing. But because of this, Shadow also had many enemies, and their leader was called Ghost Shadow. To this day, the world didn''t know whether this "shadow" was male or female, young or old. With Shadow''s capabilities, it shouldn''t be too difficult to locate Zhang Ya. Lin Tian thought this as he followed the information he had received and made his way to an underground casino. This casino, on the surface, was just a casino, but in reality, it was one of Shadow''s branches in Wu''an City. At this moment, the entire underground casino was bustling with noise as gamblers, red-faced and eager, kept their eyes fixed on their chips. As the casino''s owner, A-San should have been partying with a few beauties, but instead, he stood trembling in front of a person wrapped in a black robe with a black cloth covering their face, not daring to breathe too heavily. "A-San, did you hear anything?" The person in the black robe made a listening gesture and suddenly asked. A-San heard the voice of the person in the black robe for the first time, speaking in Mandarin, the voice deep and hoarse. The voice of the person in the black robe must have been altered somehow. Just from the voice alone, A-San couldn''t determine the true age of the person in the black robe. "Ah, what? I only heard the voices of those gamblers upstairs." A-San had run this underground casino for many years, and he prided himself on being able to gauge a person with just a few looks. However, in front of this person in the black robe, he felt an inexplicable pressure and couldn''t begin to guess the person''s true intentions. He had only felt this kind of situation during his student days when facing his teachers. "Yes, the sound of those gamblers gambling, such a marvelous sound." "Ah, yes. Truly marvelous." A-San couldn''t figure out the intentions of the person in the black robe, but he knew how to flatter them. "With the cover of these gamblers, our branch will be very safe. A-San, do you know why I personally came to Wu''an this time?" "I don''t know." A-San shook his head, and the person in the black robe seemed pleased with his response, but they did not intend to reveal their purpose. "It''s best that way. I don''t want others to guess my actions and intentions. This way, I can appear and disappear unpredictably." As the leader of Shadow, Ghost Shadow had been extremely cautious these past few years. Over the years, the information circulated by Shadow had attracted the attention of several major countries, which had even begun actions to eliminate Shadow. Within Shadow, there were voices suggesting that Ghost Shadow should not touch sensitive information. But Ghost Shadow refused. As a global intelligence agency, they believed all information was tradable. No one could stop Shadow. This was their lifelong ideal. Of course, they were also aware of the dangers, which had made them even more secretive over the years. Inside Shadow, there were very few people who had seen Ghost Shadow''s true face, and outsiders didn''t even know who had seen it. Even A-San, the leader of Shadow''s Wu''an branch, didn''t know much about Ghost Shadow. Some said Ghost Shadow was a man, an old man in his seventies or eighties. Some said Ghost Shadow was actually a woman, only seventeen or eighteen years old. Others said Ghost Shadow wasn''t just one person, but several. In short, no one knew Ghost Shadow''s real identity. "The leader is wise." A-San timely delivered another compliment. Ghost Shadow waved their hand, indicating for A-San to stop. S§×arch* The n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Tell me, what''s worth paying attention to in Wu''an City recently?" As an intelligence organization, they were not interested in ordinary news or entertainment gossip. They paid attention to real and valuable intelligence. "Recently, some incidents have occurred in Wu''an City. According to the intelligence we''ve collected, there should be superpowered individuals appearing." Indeed, A-San was just the leader of a small branch of Shadow in Wu''an, and yet he was aware of the existence of superpowered individuals. One could imagine how strong Shadow''s intelligence-gathering ability was. Hearing about the appearance of superpowered individuals, the person in the black robe''s gaze intensified. "Give me the details." "About a month ago, the police station cracked a large gang of thieves. The TV stations and various reports all said that Wu''an City would no longer have thieves. But on the very day the newspapers published the story, a thief named Luo Li appeared. He not only stole things but also left a note..." A-San was reporting the intelligence about Luo Li, including Chen Yixuan''s final killing of Luo Li. "That female police officer managed to kill Luo Li?" Ghost Shadow heard the problem at once. A-San shook his head. "According to the intelligence we''ve collected, we''re over ninety percent sure that it wasn''t Chen Yixuan who killed Luo Li. It should have been a college student named Lin Tian." If Lin Tian had been there, he would have been astonished. When he killed Luo Li, there was clearly no one around. How could A-San conjecture that it was Lin Tian who killed Luo Li? "A college student?" ``` "Lin Tian is very unusual; he''s a notable figure at school and has been displaying lots of abnormal behavior lately. We''re gathering more information on him, and if nothing goes wrong, he should also be a superpowered individual. But do superpowered individuals really exist in this world?" Ghost Shadow was very satisfied with A-San''s performance. "Regardless of whether Lin Tian is a superpowered individual or not, A-San, you need to have someone contact him." "I''ve already made contact with him through certain channels; it seems he also needs our information." "Well done. For such special people, we must first establish a good relationship with them. Then we can obtain more valuable information." Clearly, Ghost Shadow was testing A-San, when suddenly there arose a commotion from the casino. Ghost Shadow, who was highly sensitive to sounds, immediately felt something was wrong. "A-San, did you leak my whereabouts?" "Boss, I have no idea what''s happening. I''m going to check it out right now. If you don''t trust me, you can leave first," A-San replied. A-San had been in the casino for many years, and naturally also noticed that something was off about the noise upstairs. Just as he was about to head up, suddenly the door burst open. Two men in black charged in. "Pfft! Pfft!" The sounds of the silenced pistol hitting objects were extremely soft, and Ghost Shadow and A-San dodged to the side simultaneously. "I believe you now, A-San. Your information gathering is not bad, but your security is way too weak." "Boss, you go first. I''ll hold them off," A-San shouted at Ghost Shadow, taking out a pistol and immediately returning fire at the two men in black. "Hehe, still want to run?" At that moment, a strongman entered the room. The strongman was over two meters tall, with an extremely burly physique, and his arms as thick as an adult''s thighs. "It seems you were well prepared. My Shadow Guards haven''t raised any alarm till now; looks like you''ve completely taken them out, haven''t you?" But Ghost Shadow didn''t seem to be in a hurry to run away. "Truly worthy of the name ''Ghost Shadow.'' Even now, you remain so calm. I admire you for that, but today, I still need to take your head. It''s worth a lot." The strongman stared at Ghost Shadow, his eyes emitting a beast-like, captivating glow. "Try to capture him alive if possible, but if it comes to it, you can open fire." Obviously, the branch in Wu''an City had probably discovered them long ago yet allowed them to exist. They were probably waiting to catch a bigger fish by casting a long line. Now that the big fish had arrived, it was time to close the net. "Pfft! Pfft!" With two sounds, the men in black standing beside the strongman fell to the ground. A-San made a cool gesture with his pistol. "Well done, A-San, nice shooting," Ghost Shadow complimented. Previously, Ghost Shadow had suspected that it was A-San who had betrayed him, but now he fully trusted that A-San hadn''t betrayed him. "Damn it, don''t hold back anymore. Go for Ghost Shadow, dead or alive." At this point, Ghost Shadow and A-San were clearly unable to withstand the onslaught. The people brought by the strongman found their opportunity, knocked them over, and tied them up. The strongman walked over to Ghost Shadow, who was tied up like a rice dumpling. "The legendary leader of the Shadow, nobody knows his true face. Today, I want to see what kind of ghost you really look like?" The strongman reached out to pull off Ghost Shadow''s mask. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire "If I were you, I would stop all your actions immediately," Lin Tian said. Just at that moment, a figure rushed in from outside, the two men in black at the door couldn''t even react before they were sent flying by Lin Fei''s punches. This time, Lin Tian didn''t hold back at all. He took down two men in black with just one move each. On his way in from the outside, he encountered over a dozen men in black and effortlessly took them down. "Kid, do you know what you''re doing?" the strongman asked with a deep voice. "Of course, I do. I didn''t want to interfere today, but I have some matters that require the help of the Shadows. You''re just unlucky," Lin Tian replied. "Well then, don''t blame us for being rude," the strongman said. With the strongman''s order, more and more men in black appeared, surrounding Lin Tian. Some went to attack Lin Tian, while the rest went after Ghost Shadow and A-San. The strongman hadn''t expected Lin Tian to divide his forces, and now he was going to pay a heavy price for that. Lin Tian went full force, truly a case of ''when gods obstruct, slay gods; when Buddhas obstruct, slay Buddhas.'' The pistols on the men in black became useless decorations; at Lin Tian''s speed, nobody could hit him with a gun. Gradually, the strongman began to realize something was amiss and couldn''t help but take action against Lin Tian himself. ``` Chapter 279 Retreat Route The burly man had thought that joining the battle, even if he might not subdue Lin Tian, he would be able to restrain him. However, the reality was extremely brutal, his joining did nothing to stop Lin Tian. Lin Tian, relying on the advantage of speed, first took down all the men in black and only then did he deal with the burly man. The burly man indeed had some skills, but he only lasted a few more moves than the men in black before Lin Tian knocked him over. "Help!" Just then, Ah San and Ghost Shadow were in dire straits, facing over a dozen men in black, both having sustained injuries. Ah San had taken a bullet in the shoulder, while Ghost Shadow had been shot in the thigh. The men in black had cornered the two. Seeing Lin Tian''s bravery, Ah San immediately yelled out for help. "Protect yourselves, I''ll deal with them." Lin Tian charged at the men in black, shouting as he ran. "Your leader is down, do you still want to continue?" When the men in black heard Lin Tian''s words, their attack slowed, and they immediately noticed that the burly man was down, his life hanging by a thread. They had just witnessed Lin Tian''s ghost-like speed, which was simply not something their handguns could contend with. However, they still didn''t retreat but instead rushed crazily toward Ghost Shadow and Ah San. "Seeking death!" Enraged, Lin Tian''s speed doubled, and several of the men in black didn''t even reach Ghost Shadow and Ah San before being knocked down by Lin Tian one by one. After dealing with the last of the men in black, Lin Tian approached Ghost Shadow and Ah San. "Who among you is in charge of the shadow division?" "I, my name is Ah San, I''m in charge here. Lin Tian, are you here for me today?" "You actually know I''m Lin Tian?" Lin Tian was stunned. He had never met this Ah San, yet Ah San had called out his name without hesitation. The intelligence capabilities of the Shadow were indeed exceptional. Lin Tian''s expectations of getting information about Zhang Ya from the Shadow increased. "Recently in Wu''an City, there have been several major events involving you." Ghost Shadow had been silent the whole time, letting Ah San speak for him. "The reputation of the Shadow is well-deserved, but we can''t stay here long, the police should be arriving soon. Let''s change locations to talk." The recent gunfire had likely alerted the authorities who would soon intervene. Lin Tian wanted to discuss matters with the Shadow, naturally without police interference. "Mr. Lin, you are absolutely right, I have a secret passage here that leads to a safe place. Follow me." Ah San had taken a bullet to the shoulder, his entire shoulder soaked in blood, but his face showed no sign of pain, as if the person who took the bullet wasn''t him. He supported Ghost Shadow as they entered a dark room inside. This place seemed to be an underground casino used to monitor the entire casino, with dozens of monitors observing every corner of the casino. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire "This way, please!" Under Ah San''s lead, the three quickly arrived in a lounge. Ah San flipped a switch, then tapped lightly above it. The floor of the lounge suddenly split open to reveal a square entrance, and a staircase twisted down into the dark, unclear below. "Going through this tunnel will take us to a safe place." "Let me help you support him; you''re injured too." Lin Tian saw Ah San still needed to take care of Ghost Shadow, who had an injured leg, and offered to help. But Ah San hesitated, as Ghost Shadow was the leader of the Shadow and his safety was much more critical than Ah San''s life. If possible, Ah San would definitely not entrust Ghost Shadow''s care to someone else. "Mr. Lin, then I''ll trouble you." Ghost Shadow, however, readily agreed, allowing Lin Tian to support him as they descended into the secret passage. Once inside the passage, Ah San felt for the switch and closed the entrance to the tunnel. "Once closed from inside the tunnel, the switches above will be disabled. To open the tunnel entrance, you must exit through this tunnel." Ah San couldn''t help but boast, clearly proud of his design. "It''s a pity, I''m afraid this place won''t be usable anymore," Ah San had been running an underground casino, and now with the shootout, there was no way he could return. However, there wasn''t much disappointment on Ah San''s face. "No matter, the place can be replaced, but the people are what''s most important." This time, by bravely saving Ghost Shadow, Ah San might be able to further advance his position as the head of this division. In reality, the true savior of Ghost Shadow was Lin Tian, but since Lin Tian was not part of the Shadow, most of the credit would fall on Ah San. "By the way, Mr. Lin, you came looking for me for something? You saved my life this time, so please feel free to ask anything." Lin Tian didn''t just say it casually, this time he really saved Ghost Shadow, which equated to saving the entire underworld. Lin Tian didn''t know, that the man who only showed his eyes was the leader of the underworld, Ghost Shadow. He merely felt that this fortuitous rescue of the person in charge of Wu''an''s underworld division meant his negotiation about finding Zhang Ya should now be easier. "Don''t say it like that. I came to the underworld today because I need your help. It''s complicated and can''t be explained in haste. Let''s find a safe place first and tend to your wounds." "Yes, yes, let''s get moving." The tunnel was long, and according to Lin Tian''s feeling, it must have gone directly from the underground casino they had just left, crossed the street, and reached the opposite side. Soon, Lin Tian surprisingly saw an elevator. It was an elevator specifically used for this secret passage. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After getting on the elevator, Ah San pressed a red button inside. The secret passage they had just passed through made a loud bang, as if it had been filled in immediately. "That place is no longer of use, but who would have thought, we haven''t gone far, just across the street." The elevator didn''t go down but went up instead. Soon, it reached the top floor, and when the elevator opened, Lin Tian found himself and the two others had arrived in a luxurious room. "Third Master, what happened?" A beautiful OL dressed in a white shirt and pencil skirt approached. The woman was probably in her mid-twenties, with a curvaceous figure and delicate facial features. "First, tend our injuries." The beautiful woman naturally started by treating Ah San''s wounds. Ah San was about to let her treat Ghost Shadow first, but a look from Ghost Shadow stopped him. Ah San immediately understood that Ghost Shadow didn''t want others to know his identity and wanted Ah San to take charge here. The beautiful woman seemed to have been professionally trained. She took out a small medical kit, grabbed a small knife, cut open Ah San''s clothes first, and then directly removed the bullet. Her technique was extremely professional, and Ah San didn''t utter a sound during the entire process. "Hurry and treat him too, see if you can save his leg." A few minutes later, Ah San''s shoulder was bandaged, and he immediately ordered the beautiful woman to tend to Ghost Shadow''s gunshot wound on his leg. Compared to the wound on Ah San''s shoulder, the leg wound was easier to treat, and it was bandaged in about ten minutes. "Alright, take care of these things. We might have to stay here for a few days. Don''t let anyone else in." "Yes, Third Master." At this moment, Lin Tian was standing in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, looking through the glass at the opposite side. Sirens flashed from about a dozen police cars, which had completely surrounded the area across the street. People were continuously being escorted out by the police. But who would have thought that the leader of the underground casino was watching them from a location less than two hundred meters away from the scene? "Your escape route is ingeniously designed. I guess no one would expect that you hadn''t gone far but were hiding right here." "You flatter me. In our line of work, the risks are high, and if we aren''t well-prepared, lives are easily lost. By the way, Mr. Lin, what exactly do you need from us?" Since Ghost Shadow had no intention of revealing his identity, Ah San took charge. Lin Tian glanced suspiciously at Ghost Shadow, wondering about his real identity since Ah San hadn''t forgotten to take him along while escaping and seemed to hold great respect for him. He didn''t ponder much, as his involvement with the underworld was solely to obtain information about Zhang Ya through them. "How much information do you underworld have on me, and do you know everything recent that''s related to me?" "The last piece of information about you seemed to be that you were searching for a woman named Zhang Ya." "It''s really the underworld, knowing even that! Truly worthy of the famous intelligence agency!" "It''s not that our capability is strong. That night, the entire Wu''an police force was mobilized¡ªit was such a big fuss, it would be hard not to know." That day, Lin Tian had sought out Zhong Guo, mobilizing all of Wu''an City''s police force, but the results were still grim. "I need to find a person, a very dangerous person; I must find her and kill her." Lin Tian''s expression suddenly turned cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. "Is it Zhang Ya?" "Exactly. I know the rules of the underworld; state your price for the information, but I need detailed intelligence on her whereabouts after she escaped from Wu''an." Ah San remained silent, frowned in thought, secretly glancing at Ghost Shadow. "You saved my life, so our underworld can offer you one service free of charge." Ghost Shadow spoke, his voice still hoarse. Lin Tian was startled and turned to look at Ah San. "Mr. Lin, this gentleman is an important figure in our underworld. He happened to visit me today. We didn''t expect to be ambushed. If it weren''t for you, Mr. Lin, it wouldn''t have been just me; even our underworld''s big shot might have fallen here. This man can fully represent our underworld." Observing this important figure, Lin Tian could sense that although the man was concealed in a robe, the eyes that were visible were bright and authoritative, reflecting the dignity of long-held power. "Then I must thank you. I hope that you can quickly gather the intelligence on Zhang Ya, as she is very important to me. Whatever funds you need, feel free to contact me." "Mr. Lin, as I said earlier, our underworld can provide you this service once for free. Rest assured, I can notify our headquarters right now to start gathering intelligence on Zhang Ya immediately." Chapter 280 Im Responsible This time, Ghost Shadow almost fell, and if it weren''t for Lin Tian''s appearance, he might already have become a corpse, lying opposite. For Ghost Shadow, who always cherishes life, this was an enormous favor from Qi Tian. He could fully afford to pay for the expenses of the investigation into Zhang Ya. Of course, Ghost Shadow''s exposing his identity at this time also meant he intended to build a relationship with Lin Tian. With someone like Lin Tian who possessed mysterious abilities, he was extremely worth engaging by Ghost Shadow. "Then I''ll wait for your good news, I trust you guys, you should have a way to contact me. I have other things to do, so I won''t stay here anymore." Lin Tian had snuck out only while Bu Mengting was asleep. "If you have things to do, go ahead." A Sigh furrowed his brows, but Ghost Shadow had already agreed. A Sigh called over the beautiful woman from before, then instructed her to lead Lin Tian out. "We''re still not completely safe, what if he leaks our whereabouts?" A Sigh leaned in close to Ghost Shadow and asked with concern. "I trust him, with his strength, if he really wanted to harm us, he wouldn''t resort to such schemes; he''d simply come at us directly. A Sigh, contact headquarters immediately, and issue a mission in my name for them to start gathering information on Zhang Ya. Also, classify Lin Tian''s information as S-level and stop selling it externally." "Yes." Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When Lin Tian returned, Bu Mengting was sleeping soundly and had no idea that Lin Tian had gone out. Looking at Bu Mengting''s delicate beauty, Lin Tian silently swore that he must protect his woman well. The incident with Zhang Ya absolutely could not happen again. The next day, Lin Tian was constantly checking his phone during class. He was waiting for a message from Ghost Shadow. It wasn''t until noon that Lin Tian finally received a call, surprisingly, to collect a delivery. Lin Tian could not remember buying anything and thought it must be something sent by Ghost Shadow. He excitedly went to pick up the delivery, then directly ran to the house he rented. The delivery was a small parcel; opening it, he found a stack of photos inside. The only subject was Zhang Ya. There were photos of how Zhang Ya left Wu''an by plane, down to her arrival in Paris, France. The last photo was of Zhang Ya disembarking at London Airport. On the smallest side of the photo was a detailed report. "According to the information we''ve obtained, the target person is currently in England, but the specific location remains unclear. The target person seems to have contacts in England, which increases the difficulty of gathering information." In England, someone was actually meeting up with Zhang Ya. Lin Tian thought that with Ghost Shadow taking action, he would be able to get Zhang Ya''s exact location and deal with her directly. But now knowing only that she was in England, the scope was too broad. Eventually, Lin Tian found a note with a contact number on it. Lin Tian dialed the number provided. "Is this Mr. Lin? I''m A Sigh. We''ve sent you the information on Zhang Ya. But for now, we can only confirm that Zhang Ya is in England; we don''t have her exact location yet. If you can wait a few days, perhaps we can find her." "Alright, I''ll wait for your news." Lin Tian was quite satisfied with Ghost Shadow''s efficiency. He looked at the photo of Zhang Ya. Zhang Ya was a beauty, still very beautiful in the photo despite having an arm cut off by Lin Tian. In the background of the photo, many people were staring at Zhang Ya. "Zhang Ya, you can''t escape." Lin Tian silently burned all the photos, erasing all traces. Before he knew it, the weekend arrived, and Lin Tian wanted to go home to check in. Bu Mengting, of course, agreed since she hadn''t visited her uncle''s home in a long time. The two of them went to Bu Mengting''s uncle''s house first. "You two, after going to college, have you forgotten all about this miss? Especially you, Lin Tian, you seem in need of discipline. Coming to my house and not even bringing chips." At Bu Mengting''s uncle''s place, it turned out that Li Xiaomeng was the only one home. After some time not seeing her, Li Xiaomeng seemed to have grown a bit taller; without even standing up straight, one could see she was developing nicely. However, this girl was still a thoroughbred foodie, immediately asking Lin Tian for chips upon seeing him. "Uh, I forgot. Sorry, I''ll go buy some right now." Lin Tian immediately made a hasty exit, but he didn''t go to buy chips; he went straight home instead. But there was no one at home, neither mom nor dad. He took out his phone and called his mom, and the call was quickly connected. "Mom, what are you guys doing? Why is there nobody at home?" "Lin Tian, you''re back? Ah, your dad''s been hospitalized, of course, nobody''s at home." "Hospitalized? What happened? What illness does Dad have?" Lin Tian thought his dad had come down with some serious illness, but his mom hesitated on the phone, implying it was nothing serious. There had to be something wrong; Lin Tian could even hear his mom''s crying. "I''m on my way." Lin Tian thought for a moment, sent a text message to Bu Mengting, and then hurried to the hospital. At the People''s Hospital, a place Lin Tian had visited several times before. In Lin Cheng''s ward, there were quite a few people. Lin Tian''s mother was sitting by the bed, wiping away tears, while Lin Fang also had swollen eyes from crying, looking at Lin Cheng on the bed. At that moment, Lin Cheng looked pale and colorless. "Doctor, my husband?" Just then, a doctor happened to walk in, and Shi Qing quickly stood up and asked. "Your husband is in critical condition, and if he doesn''t wake up by tonight, I fear it will be very dangerous." "Please save my dad!" Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire Lin Fang grabbed the doctor''s arm and shouted loudly. The doctor slowly withdrew his arm and said expressionlessly, "You all need to stay calm. Right now, there''s not much our hospital can do for the patient." After saying that, the doctor left. "How could this happen?" Something sparkled in Lin Fang''s eyes again, as tears continuously streamed down her cheeks. Upon hearing the doctor''s words, Shi Qing felt her legs go weak, nearly fainting. "Fang''er, don''t be sad, your brother will be here soon." "My brother? That''s right, my brother will definitely have a way." Lin Fang had an almost spell-like confidence in Lin Tian; in her eyes, no problem was too great for her older brother to solve. "Mom, Lin Fang, what''s wrong with Dad?" When Lin Tian arrived at People''s Hospital, he found his father in the intensive care unit, with his mother and Lin Fang looking distraught at his bedside. The situation obviously looked very serious. "Brother, Dad was beaten. It''s very serious now. The doctor said if he doesn''t wake up tonight, Dad could be in danger." As soon as Lin Fang spoke, Lin Tian became furious. His father hadn''t fallen ill, but had been beaten into this condition. He wanted to immediately ask Lin Fang who had done this to their father, but he thought that he should first try to save him. He promptly exchanged for a bottle of Healing Water. At this moment, he only had six Supernatural Points left. "Hey, sir, what are you giving the patient to drink?" Just as Lin Tian was about to give the Healing Water to his father, a nurse shouted and stopped him. "The doctors can''t cure my dad, but I can." Lin Tian tried to push past the nurse, but several doctors quickly rushed in. "Do you know what you''re doing? The patient''s condition is extremely unstable right now. If you recklessly give him something to drink and something happens, who will be responsible?" The doctors were all very clear about Lin Cheng''s condition. At present, Lin Cheng was in a very unstable state; if he could wake up in the evening, then everything could be discussed further. But if he continued to remain unconscious, then there was a likelihood that he might pass away. Of course, at such a time, they couldn''t allow Lin Tian to just give any drink to the patient. "I will take responsibility!" Lin Tian was somewhat agitated, but since the doctors were acting in Lin Cheng''s best interests, he didn''t want to be forceful. "My brother is very capable; he has cured others before. I trust my brother, and since you can''t cure my dad, why not let my brother try?" Lin Fang immediately supported her older brother, having blind trust in Lin Tian. Shi Qing, however, was still unsure about her son''s ability to heal and was conflicted. "I''m sorry, we can''t let you randomly give the patient anything to drink. Once a patient is admitted to the hospital, it''s our responsibility." The doctors still insisted on stopping Lin Tian from saving his father. Lin Tian became anxious and was about to take action to throw out these obstructing doctors when a voice came through. "Let him try." It seemed that the person was a lead physician. When the doctors heard his words, they all stopped. Lin Tian found this doctor faintly familiar! After thinking for a moment, Lin Tian remembered! Previously, when Wang Hong was in this hospital, Lin Tian had saved a child. At that time, a doctor who had tried to stop him was present. This person had seen him! "Would I joke with my father''s life?" Lin Tian fed the Healing Water into Lin Cheng''s mouth! After administering the Healing Water, Lin Tian watched nervously. He then saw his father''s eyelashes twitch slightly before slowly opening his eyes! Upon opening his eyes, Lin Cheng looked confused, gazing at everyone. "Where am I? Lin Tian, why are you back? Lin Fang, why have you been crying?" The doctors all widened their eyes and then surrounded Lin Cheng, starting to check him over with various instruments. Lin Cheng was frightened. "Hey, hey, what are you trying to do? What do you want to do?" The doctors continued their examinations in silence. Soon, all the doctors stopped. "This is amazing, the injuries have healed. This is simply a medical miracle." "Mr. Lin, what did you just feed your father? Do you have any more?" The doctors were eyeing Lin Tian with eagerness, not needing any brainpower to realize that what Lin Tian had just given Lin Cheng was a treasure. Lin Tian spread his hands. "Sorry, that''s my secret. Now, I need to talk to my family about something. Could you give us some privacy, please?" "Oh, then go ahead and talk. We''ll step out." The doctors left somewhat sulkily, but their gaze at Lin Tian had completely changed. After the doctors had left, Lin Tian approached the bedside. "Dad, what happened? How were you beaten like this? If I hadn''t come back, who knows what could have happened." "Ah, let''s not talk about it. Just my bad luck," Lin Cheng clearly didn''t want to discuss it with Lin Tian, which only made Lin Tian want to know more. Chapter 281 I Kneel Before You "How can this be over? Dad, you have to make things clear." Lin Tian continued to press for answers, but Lin Cheng just refused to speak up. "Lin Fang, do you have any idea what happened?" As Lin Cheng remained silent, Lin Tian turned to ask Lin Fang. Lin Fang worshiped Lin Cheng blindly, believing that her older brother could handle anything. "I''m not exactly sure, but I heard that Dad''s car was rear-ended, and then several people leaped out of that car and started beating up on Dad. They almost killed him." "Don''t talk nonsense, Lin Fang." Lin Cheng glared at Lin Fang, but Lin Fang, undeterred, went on to tell all that she knew. "Where are those people now? Didn''t you call the police? Don''t the police care about them?" "I did call the police, but after they arrested those people and asked them a few questions, they just let them go. The police even told me that it was my dad''s fault for parking illegally. They said it was all his responsibility." It seemed those people must be quite influential, as Lin Tian''s expression grew colder. "Where are these people right now?" Just as Lin Fang was about to speak, the door to the ward was suddenly pushed open with force. Several people burst in, their movements swift and practiced, clearly indicating they were trained. After storming in, they lined up on both sides, silently waiting for a young man to walk into the ward. "Who just smashed my car?" The young man shouted arrogantly, and someone beside him immediately stepped forward and pointed at Lin Cheng''s hospital bed. The young man looked over right away. "How are you not dead yet? Fuck, you smashed my brand-new Ferrari. Now, how are we going to settle this?" "You young man, have some sense. I had already pulled over to park when you crashed into me. Now you''re blaming me? What kind of reasoning is that?" Lin Cheng was so angry that he could barely get his words out properly. When he had arrived, he used his turn signal and pulled over to park, but just as he had steadied the car, he heard a loud crash from behind as another vehicle slammed into his. He had intended to get out and confront the driver of the car behind him; however, those in the car had gotten out first and dragged him from his vehicle, beating him mercilessly. If Lin Tian hadn''t returned, Lin Cheng might still be unconscious now. "Your car smashed up my Ferrari, what''s the reasoning behind that? If you don''t pay up today, I''ll fucking kill you." Slap! The young man had just finished speaking when suddenly a slap seemed to come out of nowhere, striking him across the face. Lin Tian had delivered a fierce slap! The young man was stunned, taking a while to understand what had happened. His subordinates were also frozen in shock, seemingly wondering how someone had the guts to slap Li Guan. "You fucking dare to hit me? What are you all waiting for? Get him, kill this trash!" Li Guan, covering his face, backed away while frantically shouting orders. The people Li Guan had brought with him snapped to attention and surrounded Lin Tian. It seemed they were used to beating people up together, working in sync. Their coordination was precise; they attacked Lin Tian simultaneously, without any mishap. "Hmph, a bunch of trash! Today, I''ll cripple your hands first, so you can''t do evil again." Lin Tian was already fuming when he heard the story from Lin Fang. Now, these people had the audacity to come to the hospital and threaten his dad. The men dismissed Lin Tian''s words with contempt, thinking he was bluffing. But when they actually engaged with Lin Tian, two of them were immediately knocked to the ground, followed by Lin Tian rushing over and kicking them twice. With a series of crackling sounds, the arms of those two men were deformed. This shocked the rest of them. Most were Li Guan''s bodyguards, almost equal in skill, normally spending their days executing assaults for Li Guan. Usually, a few punches from them were enough to leave someone half-dead. But today, Lin Tian''s fists had left two of their own half-dead with just a few blows. "Bro, who are you?" One bodyguard tried to feel out Lin Tian''s background, but Lin Tian simply kept attacking without a word, quickly laying all the bodyguards flat on the ground, all with their hands broken. Seeing that his bodyguards were no match for Lin Tian, Li Guan, still nursing his face, thought about fleeing quietly towards the door of the ward. But just as he was about to slip out, Lin Tian blocked his way. "I''m sorry, bro. It''s all my fault, but I didn''t lay a hand on your dad. How about this: I will pay for the medical expenses, and I''ll give your family an additional one million as compensation. What do you say?" Li Guan, pampered from childhood with a life of privilege, always got what he wanted due to his family''s good standing, and had grown into a spoiled brat. But he could see the situation clearly enough now; with his bodyguards down, he certainly was no match for Lin Tian, hence his attempt to concede. "I don''t want your money; I just want you to apologize to my dad. Even if you didn''t hit him, these people were acting under your orders, so you''re implicated. They used their hands, you used your mouth. Apologize in front of my dad with two hundred slaps to your face, and then I''ll let you go." "Slap myself two hundred times? Two hundred?" Li Guan''s voice trembled as he spoke, terrified at the thought of ruining his handsome face with two hundred slaps. Slap! Another resounding slap landed heavily. Li Guan spun around from the force of the slap. "If you''re reluctant to slap yourself, then let me do it for you." "No, no, I''ll do it." The slap immediately made Li Guan realize that if he were to strike it would only disfigure, but if Lin Tian struck, it could be lethal. He slowly walked over to Lin Cheng''s hospital bed, then sincerely bowed to him. Slap, he hit his own face, not daring to hold back for fear that Lin Tianjue would think he wasn''t putting in enough effort and do it himself. "I''m sorry, Mr. Lin, it''s all my fault," he said. Slap! "I''m sorry, Mr. Lin, I shouldn''t have hit your car." Slap! "I''m sorry, I shouldn''t have let the bodyguard hit you." As Lin Cheng watched Li Guan slap his own cheek and apologize to him, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction. However, he knew that Li Guan was no ordinary person and feared that he might cause trouble for Lin Tian in the future, so he wanted to end it quickly. But Lin Tian didn''t agree, and Li Guan had no choice but to properly slap himself two hundred times before it was considered enough. By the time it was over, Li Guan''s face had swollen up like a pig''s head. If his parents were there, they probably wouldn''t recognize him at all. "You''ve performed well, let''s call it a day with this matter for now," Lin Tian said. "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin," Li Guan replied, his mouth deformed and his voice distorted. He tried to say "Young Master Lin," but it all came out sounding like "Spoon Lin." "Brother, you''re amazing," Lin Fang cheered, but Lin Cheng''s expression wasn''t good. He sat up from the hospital bed. "Lin Tian, oh Lin Tian, why were you so impulsive. That guy surnamed Li is definitely not an ordinary person. Someone who drives a Ferrari, how can you just hit him?" "So they can just hit my father anytime? Dad, these people are bullies who prey on the weak. The softer you are, the more they''ll pick on you," Lin Tian disagreed, not believing he had done anything wrong. Lin Cheng didn''t know what to say, but he asked Shi Qing to hurry up with the discharge procedures. He wanted to leave the hospital as soon as possible. The Healing Water had completely cured Lin Cheng, so there really was no need to stay in the hospital anymore. Lin Tian left the hospital room intending to leave when he suddenly heard someone crying in another room. Out of curiosity, Lin Tian walked over. To his surprise, it was someone he knew: last time Shen Mengyi had asked Lin Tian to help a classmate named Wang Hong. At that time, Lin Tian had already exchanged for a Calming Talisman from the system, but the Wang Family thought Lin Tian was a swindler and didn''t give him the chance to heal her. Unexpectedly, Wang Hong was still hospitalized. "What to do? It''s been so many days, and my Honghong has become so thin. If this continues, I''m afraid she won''t last much longer," a middle-aged woman whispered tears by the bedside, apparently Wang Hong''s mother. However, what surprised Lin Tian was that the room didn''t just have Wang Hong''s relatives but also several foreigners. The foreigners had conflicted expressions, repeatedly talking, and nonstop shrugging their shoulders. Lin Tian guessed that the foreigners were probably indicating that they were powerless to help. Remembering his promise to Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian thought for a moment and then pushed open the room door! The Wang Family members had complex expressions when they saw Lin Tian, especially Wang Hong''s grandfather. At that time, Lin Tian had already prepared the Calming Talisman to treat Wang Hong. But the Wang Family, thinking Lin Tian was a charlatan, firmly prevented him from taking action. However, after Lin Tian left, he immediately saved a child whom the doctors had declared beyond saving. They had regretted it at that moment, but due to pride, none of them stopped Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, are you here to save Honghong?" the middle-aged woman asked, the first to speak. She was willing to do anything for her daughter. Actually, she was one of the people who stopped Lin Tian that day. But now she had to swallow her pride and ask for Lin Tian''s help. Lin Tian''s face was expressionless. "No, I just came to look. I want to see what kind of Divine Doctor the Wang Family has found for Wang Hong," he said. "Xiao Lin, don''t hold the grudge against small-minded people like us; please heal our Honghong. She''s tortured every day, look at how skinny she''s gotten. If this keeps up, she probably won''t last many more days. You''re a classmate of Mengyi, right? My Honghong and Mengyi are the best of friends," Wang Hong''s mother said; she was quite persuasive, but Lin Tian looked at the other Wang Family members instead. "Ah, we of the Wang Family have been fools. Little Brother Lin, I was wrong. As long as you can save my granddaughter, I''m willing to kneel before you today," the elderly Wang patriarch said, beginning to kneel to Lin Tian. Lin Tian watched coldly! Watching the Wang patriarch kneel down, Lin Tian finally said after a long time, S~ea??h the ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Stand up, I will help!" Frankly, he hadn''t treated Wang Hong because he''d held a grudge in his heart. Now that he saw the Wang Family seemingly regretful, he decided to intervene. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire The most important thing was that he was helping Shen Mengyi, and besides, Wang Hong herself wasn''t a bad person! Chapter 282 Youre Finished As soon as they heard Lin Tian was here to save Wang Hong, the Wang Family was extremely excited. "Who is he?" A foreigner suddenly spoke up, asking Wang Hong''s mother. When Wang Hong''s mother had invited these foreign experts over, it had taken a lot of work. And these foreigners were very arrogant, acting all high and mighty. In the end, they were helpless with regard to Wang Hong''s illness. "A divine doctor." Wang Hong''s mother said disdainfully. She was already a bit annoyed with these foreigners. Combining incompetence with pretense. "Little Lin, please hurry and save Wang Hong." "I''ll use the same method as last time; you all won''t stop me, will you?" Lin Tian took out the Calming Talisman and had the Wang Family bring over a lighter and a bowl of clean water. Lighting it with the lighter, he let the Calming Talisman burn and kept all the ashes in the bowl of clean water. "What is he doing?" "No idea?" "I know, he''s performing a ritual. He''s a Chinese Taoist. My god, people still believe in this nowadays." It seemed that one of the foreigners was quite clear on Chinese culture, even knowing about Chinese Taoists. "Oh, these Chinese must be out of their minds to believe such methods could cure illness. If a talisman could heal, I might as well pray to God to save this girl¡ªit would be more reliable." "I was thinking the same." The foreigners whispered amongst themselves, completely unconvinced of Lin Tian''s abilities. However, the Wang Family trusted Lin Tian deeply and carefully fed the water with the talisman ash to Wang Hong. Strangely enough, Wang Hong, who had been unconscious all this time, regained a healthy flush to her face shortly after drinking the talisman water, and then she coughed and opened her eyes. "Mom, what happened to me? I feel so weak." "Honghong, you''re awake, you''re finally awake. Little Lin, I can''t thank you enough, you''re our Wang Family''s great benefactor." Wang Hong''s mother was overwhelmed with excitement. The Wang Family saw Lin Tian in a new light, regarding him as a benefactor. The foreigners were wide-eyed. "Oh, my God. He actually brought someone back using methods like these." "Can someone tell me what''s going on here?" "This isn''t scientific!" Lin Tian paid no attention to the foreigners and, after giving the Wang Family some instructions, he left. Sear?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. When he left the hospital, Lin Cheng and the others had long completed the discharge procedures and gone home. Lin Tian thought it over and still decided to buy a huge lot of potato chips at the supermarket. He then quietly knocked on the door of Bu Mengting''s uncle''s house, and the door was opened by Bu Mengting herself. "Lin Tian, something seemed to have happened at your house, is everything alright?" As neighbors, Bu Mengting could hear the noise from the Lin Family. She had wanted to go over and ask, but Li Xiaomeng had kept her busy playing games the whole afternoon. "It''s nothing. How''s Xiaomeng?" Lin Tian brought out the potato chips, which he was supposed to give to Li Xiaomeng as a peace offering. "Xiaomeng''s already asleep, and besides, eating too many snacks isn''t good. You should buy her less junk food from now on." "I had no choice, can''t you see who''s the weaker party here?" Lin Tian shrugged helplessly¡ªwith Li Xiaomeng, he really wasn''t an opponent. "Hmm, so when you face me, you suddenly become the stronger one?" "Hehe, of course, you should know that best. If I weren''t strong, how could I take care of you and Qianqian, my big wife?" Lin Tian put down the potato chips and picked up Bu Mengting. Bu Mengting struggled a few times but could not break free. She let Lin Tian carry her into the bedroom. Lin Tian laughed wickedly, pinning Bu Mengting beneath him. "When did you go into my sister''s room?" The next day, as soon as Lin Tian woke up, he was cornered by Li Xiaomeng. "Xiaomeng, I haven''t dressed yet, can you go outside for a bit?" Li Xiaomeng spoke, intending to lift the covers. Bu Mengting was naked underneath, still sound asleep at the moment. "Xiaomeng, I bought you a lot of potato chips yesterday. If you don''t eat them, I might just finish them all." Seeing that Li Xiaomeng was insistent on lifting the covers, Lin Tian hurriedly played his trump card. "Really? No one is allowed to steal my chips." Li Xiaomeng immediately rushed out to find the potato chips. "Goodness, that was a close call. If Li Xiaomeng had seen, I would have been doomed to suffer at the hands of that little girl in the future." Seizing the opportunity when Li Xiaomeng was out, Lin Tian quickly got up, locked the door, and then got dressed. After getting dressed, Lin Tian found a moment to sneak back to his house. "Bro, where did you stay last night?" Lin Fang caught him red-handed. "At a hotel. Lin Fang, is Dad okay now?" "The doctor said, Dad''s body has completely recovered. Bro, what on earth did you give Dad to drink? It was downright miraculous. Those doctors all say it''s medicine from a fairy." "Heh, that''s a secret. Now that Dad''s fine, I can relax. I''m leaving." "Hey, don''t go, where are you off to?" "None of your business, I obviously have important things to do." Lin Tian pinched Lin Fang''s nose, and Lin Fang pouted, clearly not pleased with Lin Tian''s action. "Hmph, you don''t even take me out to have fun when you come home, what kind of brother are you." Lin Tian, already at the door, paused. "Don''t be mad, I''ll bring you a gift tonight." "Really? If you don''t bring a gift, I''ll never let it go." Lin Tian finally managed to appease Lin Fang and then hurried over to Bu Mengting''s place. Bu Mengting was already up, and Li Xiaomeng was in her room demolishing chips. "Since we''re back after such a long time, why don''t we call Qianqian out and all go out together?" "Sure." Before long, the three of them were out on the street, holding hands. Along the way, countless men looked on enviously at Lin Tian. Either Bu Mengting or He Qianqian, if you took just one of them, would be a top beauty, and now both top beauties were being led by Lin Tian. All people had one thought in mind. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire The good cabbage has been taken by a pig. "Qianqian, my dear, you''re growing prettier and prettier." He Qianqian was trying on clothes, and Lin Tian''s praise made her beam with joy. What woman doesn''t want to be praised for her beauty, especially by the man she likes. "What about me? Lin Tian, how''s this dress on me?" "Tsk tsk, Mengting, my little sweetheart, you''ve turned into a fairy." The three of them bought quite a number of things at once, and when they came out, He Qianqian suddenly remembered there was something else she hadn''t bought yet. "Oh no, I forgot to buy shampoo." "You guys wait here, I''ll go buy it." At this moment, Lin Tian fully demonstrated his gentlemanly demeanor. After figuring out what brand He Qianqian wanted, he immediately ran back to buy the shampoo. No sooner had Lin Tian left than a young man with a somewhat swollen face followed Bu Mengting and He Qianqian. Spotting the two women, his eyes lit up and he approached: "Hello, ladies. My name is Li Guan. May I make your acquaintance?" Li Guan, after being taught a lesson by Lin Tian, was feeling very aggrieved, especially since his bodyguard''s arms had been broken by Lin Tian, leaving him unprotected when he went out. In a foul mood, Li Guan was on the lookout for eye-catching girls, and he unexpectedly stumbled upon two top-notch beauties. "Sorry, but our boyfriend will be back any minute. You''d better stay away from us. Our boyfriend has quite the temper." Bu Mengting, already numb to this kind of harassment, brought up Lin Tian directly. She hoped this guy would take the hint and beat a hasty retreat. Unfortunately, they had encountered Li Guan. "So what if you have boyfriends? Are they as handsome as me? Are they as tall as I am? And most importantly, are they richer than me?" This was Li Guan''s usual tactic, directly showing off the keys to his Ferrari. Most women, upon seeing the Ferrari keys, would immediately get into the car with Li Guan. But He Qianqian and Bu Mengting acted as if they hadn''t seen it at all. Li Guan felt that these two women didn''t fail to notice; they just didn''t recognize that these were the keys to a Ferrari. "These are the keys to my Ferrari, my beauty queens. How about honoring me with a ride?" "No need, our boyfriend is back. Be careful." Bu Mengting hated Li Guan''s blatant display of wealth, and it happened just as Lin Tian was coming back with a bottle of shampoo in hand. "Pfft, where''s your boyfriend? I''ll offer two million for him to get lost. I don''t believe there''s anything in this world that can''t be solved with money." But as he turned around, he faced someone money couldn''t fix. Lin Tian was also puzzled, this guy looked like the one who had a dispute with Dad. "Lin Tian, you''re finally here. This guy''s been pestering us, trying to take us for a ride in his Ferrari." Bu Mengting''s words left Li Guan unable to escape his tragic fate. "Great, you again. I spared you once before, and now you dare to harass my women." This time Lin Tian didn''t wait for Li Guan to plead for mercy; he went straight to his side and after a few slaps, Li Guan saw stars shooting in the sky. This assault left Li Guan in a sorry state, but it also awakened his fighting spirit. "Lin Tian, how dare you hit me, you''re finished. I''m telling you, this isn''t over today. And also, the matter of your dad damaging my Ferrari last time, we''ll settle it all." The guy still had some sense left; he ran while talking, and by the time he finished, he was far away. Lin Tian didn''t bother to chase someone who only knew how to talk big. Chapter 283 Spider-Man? "Are you both alright?" Lin Tian turned around and asked the two women with concern, and both Bu Mengting and He Qianqian shook their heads. "Of course we''re fine. Lin Tian, you''re really amazing. That guy was like a mouse seeing a cat the moment he saw you." Compared to He Qianqian''s maturity, Bu Mengting was quite pure and lively. She even forgot about just being harassed by Li Guan. "That trash just needs to be taught a lesson." "Lin Tian, I heard that Li Guan said something about settling a score with you. Did you know him before?" It was He Qianqian who was paying attention and seemed to notice that Li Guan had some previous grievances with Lin Tian. "Oh, this guy is the one who crashed into my dad''s car and then beat up my dad. I gave him a beating yesterday, and yet he dared to provoke you guys today. If you hadn''t been here, I would''ve made him bleed." "He beat up your dad? How is uncle now? Is it serious?" He Qianqian asked with a face full of concern, and Bu Mengting also started to worry. "Serious? How could it not be serious? If I had been any later to the hospital, my dad might have been gone. He doesn''t have to come looking for me; I still have to settle the score with him." Both times, Lin Tian had family around, so after dealing with Li Guan, he let him run off. "That guy seemed to have some backing. Be careful." He Qianqian reminded him, but Lin Tian didn''t care at all. "I don''t care who he is. If he dares to touch my family, I''ll make him pay. Next time I see him, I''ll break one of his legs for sure." He Qianqian and Bu Mengting both urged Lin Tian not to be impulsive. If Lin Tian hurt someone and got locked up, what would they do as Lin Tian''s women? "Let''s not talk about that now. I''ve bought the shampoo. Let''s go back." "Go back where?" Bu Mengting suddenly asked. Lin Tian was startled; sure, now there were three of them. Bu Mengting lived at her uncle''s place, but if He Qianqian was brought along too, what would people think? "How about going to Qianqian''s dorm?" "No way." He Qianqian immediately shook her head. Lin Tian was her student, and those teachers living in the dorm knew each other. If people saw her with Lin Tian and word got out, He Qianqian wouldn''t be able to stay at school. "Let''s just go to a hotel." He Qianqian knew Lin Tian wouldn''t let her go tonight and suggested going to a hotel initiative. Lin Tian immediately agreed, as he knew He Qianqian cared about her reputation and was worried about being gossiped about by other teachers and students. He made a quick call home to ask about the situation there. After taking the Healing Water Lin Tian gave, Lin Cheng had almost fully recovered. After telling his family he wouldn''t come home that night, they didn''t ask any more questions. "Lin Tian, you''ve been so irritable lately. Always wanting to break someone''s leg, if you won''t think about yourself, think about me and Mengting, won''t you?" After a passionate moment, He Qianqian lay on Lin Tian''s chest, whispering in his ear. Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire Bu Mengting, on the other hand, didn''t think Lin Tian was wrong at all. "Sister Qianqian, didn''t you see how outrageous that Li Guan was? I think what Lin Tian did was right. To deal with people like that, you have to use your fists to teach them a lesson." "Exactly, Mengting''s got it right. Whoever dares to bully Lin Tian''s women, I''ll show them what I''m capable of." Lin Tian gave Bu Mengting''s little bottom a pat as a reward. Seeing Lin Tian and Bu Mengting''s attitude, He Qianqian knew that saying more would be futile. But she always felt this was not good; too much rigidity can lead to breakage. "Be careful then. That Li Guan seems like a vengeful person; he definitely won''t let it go easily." "I''m afraid he won''t come after me. If he provokes me again, I''m not going to finish this without breaking one of his legs," Lin Tian said dominantly, and Bu Mengting immediately planted a kiss on him. The wonderful night always passes quickly, and early the next morning, Lin Tian woke up first and went out to buy breakfast.

But as he just reached the hotel entrance, Lin Tian suddenly felt an unsettling premonition. Atop the building opposite the hotel, Yin Ye lay quietly with a sniper rifle at the ready, his crosshairs trained on the hotel entrance. Yin Ye was an extremely formidable assassin, most proficient with a sniper rifle. Ever since he was a child, he had a fondness for guns, and he joined the mercenaries as he grew up, with his favorite being the sniper rifle. The feeling of making a headshot from a thousand miles away, leaving the enemy clueless about how he died, was mesmerizing to him. This time, his target was a college student. According to the information, this college student had taken his high school teacher and female classmate to a hotel last night. Lucky with the ladies, that kid, wait till you step out the door, and I blow your head off¡ªyour expression will be priceless. Yin Ye had been lying in wait for over an hour. For that entire hour, like a rock, he hadn''t moved a muscle. Patience is paramount for an accomplished sniper, and endurance comes second. Without patience, you cannot wait for the prey to appear; without endurance, even if the prey appears, you won''t be in the right state to kill it. Yin Ye had both patience and endurance, and over an hour''s wait didn''t decrease his readiness in the slightest. As long as Lin Tian dared to come out of the hotel, he believed he could definitely take him out with a headshot. Hey! The target seems to be coming out! Yin Ye saw a pair of shoes through the scope, shoes that were identical to the ones the target wore when checking into the hotel last night. Yin Ye was always very confident in his memory. His mind was highly focused, and his finger rested on the trigger. The target stopped, but Yin Ye''s expression remained unchanged. The target came out, and in Yin Ye''s scope appeared the target''s calves, thighs, waist, shoulders, head! "Now is the moment!" Yin Ye pulled the trigger, aiming the scope at Lin Tian''s face, wanting to see the expression of the college student as he was assassinated. However, to Yin Ye''s surprise, the target in the scope didn''t move at all, yet his bullet had missed. This is impossible! Yin Ye had great faith in his shooting skills and couldn''t believe he could miss at this distance. Yet the target in the scope was indeed not hit, and a hint of panic rose in Yin Ye''s heart as if he was encountering a ghost in broad daylight. Of course, assassins never believe in ghosts or gods. The first shot missed, not to worry, Yin Ye adjusted his position, ready to take the second shot. Although the first shot had already caused a commotion among the crowd, his target hadn''t run back into the hotel. He still had a chance! This time, Yin Ye was completely focused on Lin Tian. However, his shot missed again, and he saw Lin Tian dodge the bullet like a specter and then return to his original spot, with the whole move so quick it was as if he hadn''t moved at all. This was also why the first shot missed despite Yin Ye clearly seeing Lin Tian hadn''t moved; his bullet simply hadn''t hit its mark. "My god, are there really such skilled people?" After seeing it clearly, Yin Ye''s heart felt even more shocked. "Damn it!" At this time, Lin Tian was furious. The assassin''s second bullet had been dodged, but it had grazed the head of a little boy and lodged into the wall. This mercenary was far too rampant. Lin Tian turned his head toward the assassin''s location, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips. "F*ck, so brazen!" Yin Ye was also provoked by Lin Tian. He admitted that Lin Tian''s reaction speed and dodging abilities exceeded his expectations, but he had absolute trust in his sniper rifle. As long as the rifle was in Yin Ye''s hands, even if facing a god, he would not be afraid. "Hey, what is he trying to do?" Lin Tian''s figure suddenly disappeared from the scope. A flicker of panic touched even Yin Ye''s cold heart. He swung his sniper rifle around, unable to locate Lin Tian. For a sniper, losing sight of the target was a major taboo. Otherwise, standard snipers wouldn''t operate in pairs, with one shooting and the other observing. Yin Ye always worked alone and now lacked an observer to help locate where Lin Tian had run off to. Removing his eye from the scope, he scanned the area and found Lin Tian. Lin Tian was already clinging to a building, scaling it like Spider-Man. He had no tools in hand, yet his movements were agile, leaping up a level at a time, and he clung to the building as if magnetically. In just a short moment, he had already climbed over a dozen floors. A crowd had gathered below, all watching Lin Tian. "Superman!" "F*ck, Spider-Man." "That''s awesome!" But seeing Lin Tian''s actions, Yin Ye''s face turned even more ominously dark. "Damn it!" Yin Ye immediately understood that Lin Tian intended to climb up to find him. He quickly adjusted the direction of his sniper rifle and found Lin Tian again in the scope. Lin Tian was climbing rapidly, making it very difficult for Yin Ye to aim. He fired several shots in succession, none hitting Lin Tian, who was nearing the rooftop. "F*ck, is that Superman or what?" Yin Ye spat, packed up his sniper rifle, and decided to take flight. With Lin Tian''s speed, he would soon reach the rooftop. The mission was clearly a failure. Yin Ye took out the tools he had prepared earlier and began to make his descent. But just as he had secured his safety rope and was about to jump down, a strong hand held down his shoulder. "Where are you..." Lin Tian had only uttered three words when the assassin Yin Ye suddenly pulled out a glimmering dagger and stabbed it towards his abdomen. With Lin Tian''s current strength, it was impossible for Yin Ye to land the strike. His body unmoved, he struck like lightning and grabbed Yin Ye''s wrist. The gleaming dagger, after piercing through Lin Tian''s clothes, came to a halt on his skin, unable to advance any further. "You''re really not playing fair!" Lin Tian''s voice carried a hint of coldness. Chapter 284 Honored Guest Yin Ye''s wrist felt as if it was clamped by a tiger''s vice, completely incapable of breaking free. However, he still had his legs, and was about to lift his leg to give Lin Tianyi a kick. Before he could do so, Lin Tianyi made his move first, putting in just a little effort with his hand, Yin Ye felt a whirlwind around him, and he was directly thrown to the ground by Lin Tianyi. The disparity in strength between the two was enormous. Yin Ye had never imagined that he, a professional assassin, wouldn''t last a single move against a university student. "Who are you, why do you want to kill me?" After subduing Yin Ye, Lin Tian began to interrogate him. Having experienced Lin Tian''s strength, Yin Ye had a clear understanding but bit his lip tightly, appearing not to surrender that easily. "Good, it looks like you''re a very tough man. However, in this situation, I''m not very fond of you. I''ll only give you one chance to tell me who sent you to kill me, or else, I''ll send you to Thailand." Lin Tian''s words turned Yin Ye''s face pale with dread. No need to be so ruthless. Before he could decide whether to compromise, Lin Tian''s foot had already lifted. "I''ll talk, it was Li Guan who sent me to kill you." "Li Guan? That guy must be tired of living." While Lin Tian was considering how to deal with the assassin, a group of police officers had already rushed to the rooftop. "Mr. Lin, are you alright?" The arriving officers seemed to have met Lin Tian before. Lin Tian gestured with his hand to show he was fine. Thinking that he had already obtained the information he wanted, the assassin was now of no importance to Lin Tian. "I''m fine. This assassin has been subdued by me; you can come over and handcuff him." Soon, two officers rushed over and handcuffed the assassin. The officer who had spoken with Lin Tian drew close to him. "Mr. Lin, you are incredible. Without you, this vicious assassin might have harmed many lives." "His target was me. Don''t report about me in the media, this incident should be credited to the police for capturing a dangerous assassin." Lin Tian did not wish for fame, so he readily handed over the credit he had gained. The officer immediately beamed with joy. As the team leader, his achievements were secure. Perhaps, he could even climb further up the ranks because of this merit. "No problem, Mr. Lin, we''ll make sure not to reveal any information about you. However, the way you climbed up the building was so cool, I''m afraid many people have already recorded videos, and I can''t do anything about that." The way Lin Tian ascended the building was akin to a Chinese version of Spider-Man and Superman. The police were also rushing to the building, but they were all astonished by Lin Tian''s feat. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s okay, as long as you say you haven''t seen me, they won''t know who I am." Finishing his words, Lin Tian descended the stairs directly. By the time he returned to the hotel, he overheard Bu Mengting and He Qianqian talking. "My God, they were saying someone climbed up to the rooftop like Spider-Man." "I heard about it too. Is that guy even human? They say there was an assassin on the rooftop of the building opposite, and this person went to catch the assassin. He''s incredible." "What''s so incredible about that? I think our Lin Tian is even more formidable." Bu Mengting clearly believed Lin Tian to be more powerful. "Who''s more formidable than me?" At this moment, Lin Tian entered the room, and Bu Mengting immediately rushed over to him. "Just now, someone went up to the rooftop like Spider-Man to catch a baddie; it was so cool. Did you see? Wait, that''s not right, the clothes that person was wearing really resemble yours." "Lin Tian, that assassin was after you." Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire Compared to Bu Mengting''s delayed realization, He Qianqian knew the person who had climbed up the building was definitely Lin Tian the moment he came back to the room. Lin Tian actually had no intention of telling the two women about the assassin. But now that He Qianqian had asked, he did not intend to hide it anymore. "Yes, he indeed came for me. It was the assassin hired by Li Guan I mentioned yesterday." "I told you yesterday not to be so impulsive. Alas, once you provoke these large family scions, it can be very difficult to shake them off." He Qianqian''s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and Bu Mengting did not praise Lin Tian''s capabilities as she had the day before. Today''s assassin had been caught by Lin Tian, but in the future, there would still be an endless stream of assassins coming. This could disrupt their peace and sleep. "What''s there to be afraid of? I''m going to find Li Guan today. He dares to hire an assassin to go after me." "Don''t be impulsive, Lin Tian." Realizing Lin Tian might be planning to settle the score with Li Guan, He Qianqian grabbed his arm. "I won''t be impulsive, but anyone who wants me, Lin Tian, dead, I''ll make sure they understand what fear means." After consoling the two women a bit, Lin Tian left. He followed the address A''san had given him and arrived at a mahjong parlor. It was unclear if A''san was indeed a gambler; the last time he had set up a branch of Ghost Shadow under a casino. This time, the meeting place with Lin Tian was also a mahjong parlor. Lin Tian needed Ghost Shadow''s help, so he went to look for A''san. "Who are you looking for?" When Lin Tian arrived at the mahjong parlor, two men at the door stopped him. "Just coming in to play a bit." Before coming here, I didn''t give Asan a heads-up, so Lin Tian planned to sneak in first and figure things out later. Those two men sized up Lin Tian with a glance, seemingly puzzled. "Can you afford to play?" "Don''t underestimate me!" Lin Tian took out his bank card and threw it to one of the men. "Go swipe this and see if I''m short on cash." Suddenly, Lin Tian''s bold move made the two men uncertain. This type of generosity was usually a sign of a high roller. If they offended a VIP, their jobs would be at risk. So, the man didn''t actually go to swipe the bank card, but instead returned it to Lin Tian respectfully. "Sir, please don''t be angry. It''s just that we''ve been running tight checks recently. One of our other locations was raided not long ago." Lin Tian didn''t make any noise; he had been involved in that incident too, after all. Once inside, Lin Tian found that the scale of this card room was quite inferior to the underground casino he''d been to before. There were only five or six mahjong tables and three people playing Fight the Landlord, a real card room indeed. But Lin Tian knew that Asan was hiding here, clearly not considering this place as just a simple card room. "These games are too small. Is there anywhere to play bigger?" Lin Tian approached a woman who was exchanging chips. This woman was around thirty, fairly voluptuous, heavily made-up, and particularly flirtatious. Her clothes were tight. Moreover, her chest revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin and a deep cleavage. "Handsome, if you want to play big, you have to show some capital." The woman gave Lin Tian a coquettish smile. Honestly, if it weren''t for the heavy makeup, she might still pass for a seductive beauty. "No problem, take a look for yourself." Lin Tian handed his bank card over to the woman, and as she took it, she scratched Lin Tian''s palm with her fingers. An overt flirtation indeed, but luckily the women at Lin Tian''s home were far more exceptional than this one, so he remained indifferent. The woman swiped the bank card and covered her red lips, seemingly surprised. After returning the bank card to Lin Tian, she held his card with both hands. "Sir, please head inside to play." The woman signalled to a chubby man sitting idly by, who then got up, leading Lin Tian through a small door inside. After opening the small door, there was a long corridor. Lin Tian felt this passage was similar to the secret tunnel Asan had led him through while escaping last time. It seemed that if something happened at the front, this corridor would become an escape route. At the end of the corridor, there was another small door. The chubby man opened the door, and Lin Tian followed into what seemed to be a hotel room. Then the chubby man led Lin Tian into a room. The room''s furnishings were very luxurious. In the room there was a large gambling table with four people already gambling. Besides the four gamblers, there was a croupier and two men in black, likely the casino''s security. "A new young fellow? Come on, hurry up to the table, we haven''t started yet." "Don''t let me disturb you; you play at your leisure. I''m here looking for someone." Lin Tian waved his hand dismissively as he didn''t have the mind to play. If he were to gamble, these people would likely lose everything and go home broke tonight. "Who are you?" As Lin Tian spoke, the two security men and the chubby man who had brought him there became anxious. The chubby man quickly moved forward two steps and then turned around to stare at Lin Tian. The two security guards reached into their jackets as if they were ready to draw guns. "Don''t get worked up; I''m here to find Asan. I''m a good friend of his." Lin Tian now somewhat regretted not informing Asan in advance. However, the chubby man and two guards clearly recognized the name Asan. "You know Asan? What''s your name?" "I''m Lin Tian. Just tell him my name, and he''ll know." The chubby man immediately took out his phone to report the situation, and quickly, there was a response. "Mr. Lin, this was really a misunderstanding. Come with me. I''ll take you to Asan." "Thanks for the trouble." "No trouble at all. Mr. Lin, you are an honored guest. If you had revealed your identity earlier, our Asan would definitely have come to greet you personally." After all, Lin Tian had saved Ghost Shadow, and although he had used up the favor with the Shadow to get information on Zhang Ya for free, Ghost Shadow had instructed Asan to befriend Lin Tian before he left. Asan had been trying to figure out how to get close to Lin Tian these past few days, and here Lin Tian had come to him on his own initiative. "Oh, Mr. Lin, you should have given me a heads-up before coming. There was almost a serious misunderstanding just now." "Asan, that was my fault this time. I came in a rush because it was an emergency." "What happened?" "I''ve got into trouble with a guy named Li Guan. This guy actually hired an assassin to kill me. I need to find him today and show him not to mess with me." "Li Guan?" Hearing Lin Tian''s words, Asan''s expression turned somber, as if he knew who Li Guan was. Chapter 285 Youre Awesome "How do you know this Li Guan?" Lin Tian immediately noticed A-San''s expression, and A-San nodded solemnly. "As soon as Li Guan arrived in Wu''an, we began to closely monitor him. He is a scion of the Li Family, one of the four major families in the Capital City." The four major families of the Capital City? Lin Tian had never heard of these matters before, but seeing A-San''s expression, he knew that Li Guan''s family was extremely formidable. Yet Lin Tian didn''t care about that. Li Guan had already angered Lin Tian twice, and also dared to hire an assassin to deal with him. Lin Tian was definitely going to settle accounts with Li Guan, and he also had to find Li Guan. Otherwise, if the assassins kept coming, Lin Tian couldn''t constantly live in fear every day. Had it not been for his precognitive ability alerting him earlier today, Lin Tian might have died without even knowing how. "I need to know where this Li Guan is now." "Are you sure you want this information?" A-San didn''t immediately give Lin Tian the intelligence he wanted; instead, he asked another cautious question. "Of course." Lin Tian said with certainty. A-San''s brow furrowed deeply, seeming to be struggling with the decision. In the end, A-San decided to first ask for instructions from the higher-ups of the Shadow organization. In fact, he went to ask Ghost Shadow for instructions, and after explaining the situation to Ghost Shadow, Ghost Shadow burst into laughter. "Give him the information." "Won''t this offend the Li Family? Hmph, Li Guan, that useless fool, dares to provoke Lin Tian. He''s courting death. You just take care of the information, the rest isn''t your concern." With Ghost Shadow''s support, A-San immediately provided Lin Tian with all the information regarding Li Guan with great satisfaction. After receiving the information about Li Guan, Lin Tian casually looked it over. "By the way, is there any further news about Zhang Ya?" "No. It seems Zhang Ya must have someone in England helping her. Since going to England, she has not shown herself again. We''ve spent a significant amount of manpower and resources, but we''ve found no trace of her." Compared to the four major families of the Capital City, Lin Tian was more concerned about Zhang Ya. After all, Zhang Ya was someone who possessed a Supernatural Energy Sphere, just like Lin Tian, both of whom had superpowers. "I hope the Shadows can step up their efforts in searching for Zhang Ya. I will cover all expenses. This woman is too important to me." "Mr. Lin, we have not neglected your wishes. This mission is issued by the higher-ups of our Shadows and is considered an S-level task, which has a higher priority than other tasks. However, after all, it''s in England, and Zhang Ya clearly has someone there to receive her." A-San''s explanation only added to Lin Tian''s frustration. With each passing day, Zhang Ya''s wounds would heal further. If Zhang Ya''s wounds healed and she quietly returned, then Lin Tian''s women would be in great danger. "I''m sorry, I''m just too anxious. Continue with your work. Remember to notify me as soon as you have news." "Don''t worry, you saved one of the high-ranking members of our Shadows; you''re a friend of the Shadows." While Lin Tian sought information from the Shadows, Li Guan was in a luxurious villa, enjoying a close massage from two beautiful women. These two women, with graceful figures, were wearing thin gauze, semi-transparent. Under the sheer gauze, their bodies teased the imagination, more alluring than being completely bare. Li Guan, with one hand continually squeezing the thigh of one of the women, said, "Tsk tsk, these two babes are freaking top-notch. Can look, can touch, can ride, and they look exactly alike. The key is they serve so well. Zhang Dongbin, you''re good at this." Li Guan was taking advantage of the situation, while simultaneously enjoying the massage from the two women, thoroughly enjoying himself. "Haha, these are the cream of the crop I found. Imported from Southern Myanmar. They have been trained since childhood, very obedient and well-behaved. If it weren''t for Young Master Li''s visit, I wouldn''t have wanted to let anyone else have them," said a common-looking young man who was leering at the private parts of the two women, drooling incessantly. This was the Zhang Dongbin mentioned by Li Guan. "Damn it, these past few days have been such bad luck for me. But luckily, I met you, Xiao Bin. Don''t be so polite, Xiao Bin. These two girls, come lie down with me. I''ve got something to tell you." "Ah, this, is that really okay?" "What''s not okay about it? You''ve played with these women before. What''s our relationship, my brother? Let''s play together." S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Then thank you, Young Master Li!" Zhang Dongbin had been itching to join in and immediately came over, hugging one of the women and started kissing her voraciously. "What''s the rush, Xiao Bin? I''m asking you. Is that assassin you hired reliable or not?" After being humiliated by Lin Tian twice, Li Guan was almost ready to head back to the Capital City. However, Zhang Dongbin stopped him, plying Li Guan with food and drink, and even bringing two top-notch girls for Li Guan. Only then did Li Guan decide not to rush back to the Capital City. Then Li Guan told Zhang Dongbin about being bullied, and upon hearing it, Zhang Dongbin couldn''t accept that Young Master Li had been beaten. He immediately found an assassin and recommended him to Li Guan, who then instructed the assassin to get rid of Lin Tian. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire Don''t be fooled by his fling with the twins; he was still obsessing over Lin Tian''s two women in his heart. Although the twins were also top-notch, they felt like two warm toys to him, completely lacking the thrill of conquest. His mind was still fixated on Lin Tian''s two women, unable to shake them off. Once Lin Tian was killed, Li Guan planned to go after those two women. By then, with Young Master Li''s methods, he didn''t believe the women wouldn''t submit to him. "Young Master Li, what are you talking about? Yin Ye is the most formidable subordinate I''ve come across in recent years. You haven''t seen this kid''s marksmanship; it''s out of this world, it can shock the heavens and move the ghosts and gods." Zhang Dongbin is the eldest son of the Zhang Family in Wu''an City, a dominant family there. However, nationwide, the Zhang Family is nothing special. In comparison with Li Guan from the Capital City''s Li Family, Zhang Dongbin, the eldest son of the Zhang Family, is even less significant. When Zhang Dongbin learned that Li Guan had arrived in Wu''an, he used various channels to ingratiate himself with Li Guan, hoping to foster a connection with the Li Family in the Capital City. "How formidable is he?" Li Guan, intrigued by Zhang Dongbin''s praise of the assassin, became interested himself. "Young Master Li, do you know why he''s called Yin Ye?" "No idea." "Then let me tell you about the origins of Yin Ye." According to Zhang Dongbin, Yin Ye used to be in a mercenary troupe in South Africa. Their mercenary troupe had a long history, said to have even participated in the Iraq war, with a very systematic training program for mercenaries. Yin Ye became a mercenary through such training. The battle that made Yin Ye famous was one of the most legendary recent fights in the mercenary world. At the time, Yin Ye''s mercenaries were on an international mission. They were targeted by another mercenary troupe that bore a grudge against theirs and got wind of their whereabouts. The hostile mercenary troupe sent three times as many men as Yin Ye''s, aiming to annihilate them. All of them top-tier mercenaries, the battle was one-sided from the start. The mercenary troupe Yin Ye rode with quickly lost members, leaving only two people in the end: Yin Ye and his spotter. Together, the pair inflicted significant casualties on the enemy. The leader of the enemy mercenaries, after weighing the pros and cons, decided to retreat. But Yin Ye and his spotter, seeking revenge for their brothers, pursued them relentlessly. Overnight, they managed to leave all of the enemy dead in the jungle. Since that battle, Yin Ye was known as the Envoy of the Grim Reaper. "Damn, this assassin is that powerful? Lin Tian''s as good as dead then." "Certainly, I bet Lin Tian won''t even know how he died. With Yin Ye the assassin, that''s a perk; you die swiftly and depart cleanly." "What''s going on?" Zhang Dongbin''s face turned pale as he recognized the man flung into the room as one of his own bodyguards. Li Guan also stopped what he was doing, shoving the woman beneath him aside and hiding behind her. Having heard Zhang Dongbin describe Yin Ye, he felt a bit of dread towards the sharpshooter, figuring it was better to stay hidden for now. "Report, Young Master Zhang. Someone''s broken in outside. They''re here for... Young Master Li..." A bodyguard rushed in from outside, reporting to Zhang Dongbin. Zhang Dongbin''s face went pale¡ªhad Yin Ye failed? "Zhang Dongbin, weren''t you bragging about how amazing your assassin is? What''s the situation now? Lin Tian''s found his way here, where''s your hitman?" As soon as Li Guan heard this, he knew it had to be Lin Tian¡ªno one else would dare approach Young Master Li in such a manner. Zhang Dongbin was relatively calm. "Muster all our men at once and take this guy down for me. Someone dares to intrude on my turf; I will make sure he doesn''t leave alive. Tell them, whoever takes down that guy outside will get a reward of ten million." "Yes, Young Master Zhang." Upon hearing about the ten million rewards, the bodyguard''s eyes filled with greed, clearly tempted by the bounty. Soon after, the sound of gunfire erupted outside. "Young Master Li, there''s no need to panic. Let''s continue our competition; who knows, our game might not yet be over by the time they''ve dealt with him outside." "How can I be in the mood for that now? I need to get ready." Unlike the composed Zhang Dongbin, Li Guan dressed hastily, ready to flee at a moment''s notice. This Li Guan is truly useless. Zhang Dongbin felt a touch of disdain watching Li Guan fumble around, though he didn''t show it on his face. "Ah, Young Master Li, there''s really no need to panic. In Wu''an City, nobody dares make trouble on Zhang Dongbin''s ground." Zhang Dongbin appeared extremely arrogant! "Is that so?" Just as Zhang Dongbin finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly erupted! Lin Tian slowly walked in! Chapter 286 Breaking Both Legs "Who are you? Where are my men?" Zhang Dongbin saw a very young man walking in, immediately stood up, hands on hips, looking very imposing. Unlike Zhang Dongbin, Li Guan''s face turned pale at the sight of Lin Tian, and his legs began to tremble. "By appearing here, your men are obviously done for. What''s on your mind, asking such an obvious question, you really are a moron. Was that idiot assassin sent by you today?" Lin Tian took steps forward, and Li Guan, terrified, was too scared to run away. Zhang Dongbin also showed some fear, but he was not very scared. "Hmph, you''ve got some skills. How about this, work as my bodyguard for an annual salary of a billion. What do you think?" Knowing how formidable Lin Tian was, Zhang Dongbin immediately tried to buy him off with money. "Who are you to interfere? This doesn''t concern you, I''m here for Li Guan. Wait your turn if you want to die!" Lin Tian said with a cold smile, turning his head to Li Guan, sneering: "Li Guan, you''ve got some nerve to hire an assassin to kill me. How are we going to settle this?" "You dare ignore me? Go to hell!" Zhang Dongbin, ignored by Lin Tian who headed straight for Li Guan, was very angry. He wasn''t panicked at first because he had hidden a handgun inside his clothes. With the handgun, Zhang Dongbin was not afraid of Lin Tian at all. He just needed to find an opportunity to discreetly end Lin Tian''s life. As Lin Tian stared at Li Guan and took steps towards him, Zhang Dongbin thought his opportunity had come. He pulled out his handgun, aimed and fired, a series of actions that seemed to happen in the blink of an eye. In an instant, the dark muzzle was pointed at Lin Tian! Seeing that Lin Tian did not dodge, Zhang Dongbin laughed heartily. "No matter how skillful you are, you still can''t stop my peanut-sized bullet. Li Shao, it''s all clear now." Zhang Dongbin thought he had killed Lin Tian with a single shot, but when he turned to look at Li Guan, he found Li Guan looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Li Shao, what is that look in your eyes..." Before he could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his jaw and his body lightened, as he was punched into the air by Lin Tian, then fell hard, almost dead. After dealing with all the obstacles, Lin Tian set his sights on Li Guan. "Li Shao, here we meet again, how are you doing?" "I, I''m alright. By the way, Lin Shao, these are two beauties prepared for you. These women are not just for show. What are you two doing standing around? Hurry and take care of Lin Shao." Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire Li Guan knew he was no match for Lin Tian, even escaping in front of Lin Tian was a luxury. If only he had known, he would have returned to Capital City today. That Zhang Dongbin really screwed him over. The two women, without any dissatisfaction, directly approached Lin Tian. Lin Tian was taken aback, not expecting Li Guan to resort to using a beauty trap. He raised his hands and knocked the two women unconscious with two slaps. "Li Guan, you hit my father, I didn''t have time then and you ran off. Then you dared to flirt with my woman, I was busy with my own affairs and you got away again. But you dared to hire an assassin to kill me first? Today I''m going to break your legs to teach you a lesson." Lin Tian walked towards Li Guan, deliberately stepping heavily so that each step echoed ominously, like the approaching sound of the Grim Reaper. "Lin Shao, please spare me. The things today were all incited by Zhang Dongbin. The assassin was sent by him. I was planning to return to Capital City today." Li Guan didn''t even need Lin Tian to force him, he readily betrayed Zhang Dongbin. "Hmm, looks like I need to break another person''s legs too." Saying this, Lin Tian stepped forcefully on Li Guan''s legs. Crack! Crack! With two sounds, Li Guan felt as if his legs no longer belonged to him. Looking at his deformed legs, Li Guan''s mouth was filled with bitterness. Just as Zhang Dongbin was coming to his senses, he saw Lin Tian approaching him. "What do you want? I tell you, I am from the Zhang Family." "Is the Zhang Family so great? Since you dared to send an assassin after me, then you should be prepared for my wrath." Crack! Crack! With two sounds, Zhang Dongbin cried out in agony, his screams miserable. "Zhang Shao, remember my name, my name is Lin Tian." Lin Tian made sure Zhang Dongbin saw his face, then left him and approached Li Guan. By now, Li Guan''s legs had been crushed by Lin Tian, his eyes void of life. "Li Shao, do you still want to keep playing? Do you still want my father to compensate you?" "I, I, surrender." Li Guan was born into a prominent family and knew very well the principle of preserving one''s resources to ensure future prosperity. Having broken legs was not a problem as long as he was alive; Li Guan would have his day to turn things around. However, it remained to be seen whether Li Guan could survive the immediate circumstances. "It''s good that you''re obedient. If you dare to send assassins to kill me again, I won''t be so polite." Being from a major family in Capital City, Lin Tian did not recklessly kill Li Guan. He just broke his legs. He got the information from Third Master that Li Guan was indeed from one of the four major families in Capital City, the Li family, but he wasn''t highly regarded by the senior members of the group. However, Third Master warned Lin Xu that giving a lesson was fine, but under no circumstances should he take Li Guan''s life, as it would drive the entire Li family mad. "Remember this, don''t let me see you again," he warned. Leaving those words behind, Lin Tian immediately left. It took a long while after Lin Tian had left for Li Guan to crawl up from the ground. After dealing with Li Guan, Lin Tian headed straight home. He Qianqian had already returned to school, but Bu Mengting was still at her uncle''s house. Lin Tian directly knocked on the door, but it was not Bu Mengting who answered. "Lin Tian, what are you doing knocking on my door so late? Are you up to no good?" Li Xiaomeng stood with her hands on her hips, full of authority. Having just broken the legs of Li Guan and Zhang Dongbin, Lin Tian somehow felt a tremor in his legs when facing Li Xiaomeng. "Xiaomeng, where''s your sister?" "Why should I tell you? You didn''t even buy me chips." Loving chips that much, Lin Tian thought for a moment, then turned around and rushed to the supermarket to buy a big bag of chips. Seeing the chips, Li Xiaomeng opened the door very satisfied. "Really, have no manners at all. Do I have to hint before you figure it out? My sister is inside, do whatever you want. Just don''t disturb me while I''m eating." With the chips, Li Xiaomeng''s resistance levels dropped to zero. After dismissing Li Xiaomeng, Lin Tian entered Bu Mengting''s bedroom. Bu Mengting was nestled in her blankets, playing with her phone. "Mengting, my little wife, your man is here. Aren''t you going to welcome me?" "Why should I welcome you? You disappear all day. Do you know, Qianqian and I were worried sick about you." While Lin Tian was seeking Third Master, Bu Mengting and He Qianqian had called him numerous times. To avoid distractions, Lin Tian simply turned off his phone. Bu Mengting and He Qianqian, of course, were extremely worried, continually calling. Finally, when Lin Tian sorted things out, he returned the calls to the two women. He Qianqian seemed a bit upset and went straight back to school. Bu Mengting was also a bit annoyed and stayed in her blankets unmoving. "I''m sorry, my little wife Mengting, I really had something to take care of today." "So what if you had something? You even turned off your phone. How dare you? Don''t come looking for me." Bu Mengting turned over, twisting her face to the other side. "Get out!" "I''m not leaving, not only am I not leaving, I''m also going to¡­" "You, let go!" Bu Mengting tried to appear threatening, but Lin Tian was simply not intimidated. "Don''t be mad, little wife Mengting. Today, I actually went to take revenge for you and your big wife Qianqian." "What revenge did you take for us?" When Bu Mengting heard this, she stopped struggling, thinking that she was going to be overwhelmed by Lin Tian anyway. "Do you remember Li Guan who harassed you yesterday?" "Ah, you really went to see him? Didn''t Qianqian tell you, he has a powerful background, you should have just put up with him if you could." "I couldn''t stand it. This morning he sent an assassin to kill me. What if he harmed you two?" sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Then, did you, did you kill him?" Feeling the tremors in Bu Mengting''s body, Lin Tian knew she was extremely worried about him. "No, as you said, his background is indeed substantial. I didn''t want to provoke his family, so I spared his life, but I''ve broken his legs. This lesson should keep him in line for a while." Lin Tian spoke lightly, but Bu Mengting knew that it must have been dangerously risky. "Ah, you broke his legs; he probably won''t let this go easily. But, I don''t care about that. Lin Tian, well done. That guy deserved to have his legs broken. No matter what, I''m always on your side." Chapter 287 Kiss Wonderful times always pass quickly, and soon it was daylight. Today Lin Tian and Bu Mengting had to return to school for classes. Before leaving, Lin Tian went home to make sure his dad was alright. "Lin Tian, come over here. I have something to tell you." Seeing Lin Tian was about to leave, Lin Cheng called him over. Lin Cheng''s expression was not very good, and Lin Fang originally wanted to listen in, but his mom pulled her away. "Dad, what is it?" "Lin Tian, I know you''ve grown up, and you have your own thoughts on many things. That''s good, and I''ve been looking forward to this day. The only thing I want to tell you today is, before you do anything, think of your dad, your mom, and your sister." "Dad, what are you talking about?" Lin Tian felt a bit wronged; wasn''t he always thinking about his family? "I''m speaking Chinese. I know that whatever I say now, you won''t listen, just be careful yourself." Obviously, Lin Cheng was angry because Lin Tian hadn''t listened to him at the hospital that day. What the elder meant was for Lin Tian to endure more and avoid messing with people who shouldn''t be provoked, which could lead to trouble. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire Lin Tian somewhat disagreed, as he now possessed the Supernatural Ability System. Even the Li Family of Capital City didn''t scare him. He hadn''t gone after Li Guan, and that was already showing a lot of respect to the Li Family. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "If there''s nothing else, I''m going to school." Lin Tian realized that there was a generational gap between him and his father, or perhaps this was the price of growing up. Father and son were over twenty years apart, and they grew up in different environments, so a generation gap was inevitable. Bu Mengting said she was going to meet some classmates and had already gone to school first. Just as Lin Tian was about to hail a taxi, a car proactively approached him as he reached the roadside. And it was no ordinary car, but a police car. "Where to? Get in!" The driver was Chen Yixuan. Since the last time Lin Tian had helped Chen Yixuan take care of Luo Li, it had been a long time since he had seen Chen Yixuan. Chen Yixuan was still in her police uniform, standing tall and straight, with a very stern expression and not smiling. Lin Tian didn''t hesitate and got into the passenger seat right away. "Officer Chen, isn''t this using public resources for personal use?" "What? You want to report me?" "Of course, I won''t report you. I''m just worried about passersby reporting you. Then getting it turned into a video and posted online. ''Female cop keeps a boy toy, police car escorts boy toy.'' This title should go viral, right?" Chen Yixuan burst into laughter at Lin Tian''s words. "Go viral your big silly head. You''ve been pretty busy lately, what are you working on?" "Of course, I''m busy. There are things people promised to do that haven''t been done, I''m busy finding people to help me collect the debt." Lin Tian deliberately put on a pitiful look, which made Chen Yixuan blush. "When you helped me catch Luo Li, I never promised you anything. It was always you talking to yourself." "When people want to wriggle out of a deal, they can always find a thousand excuses." "You! Never mind, I, as an adult, will not fuss over minor issues. Lin Tian, there is something I need to ask you." Chen Yixuan clearly didn''t greet Lin Tian out of boredom. "What is it?" "What happened between you and Zhang Ya? That day, all the police in Wu''an were searching for Zhang Ya. It was a direct order from Director Zhong. What''s your involvement in this?" My involvement was, of course, that I tasked Director Zhong with assisting me in catching Zhang Ya. Of course, Lin Tian had no plans of telling Chen Yixuan that. "Nothing much." "Impossible, I''ve investigated Zhang Ya. Zhang Ya''s family is wealthy, controlling over a dozen multinational companies. They have branches in over a dozen countries. Someone like that wouldn''t be targeted by Director Zhong without solid reasons." In this era of economic development, the status of businessmen is sometimes even higher than some officials. Especially a business dynasty like Zhang Ya''s, Director Zhong wouldn''t move against Zhang Ya without sufficient reason. "It''s complicated, I can''t explain it all right now, but Zhang Ya is extremely dangerous." "Extremely dangerous? How dangerous?" "Why so many questions? Isn''t Zhang Ya already on the run? Do you have any information about her? What''s the matter? If there''s nothing, I''m getting out of the car. Just by riding with you, you''re nagging endlessly." "Alright, I won''t ask about Zhang Ya anymore. I came to find you today to investigate something that happened yesterday." Chen Yixuan took out a file bag and tossed it to Lin Tian. "Take a look!" Lin Tian took the file bag and read through the materials inside. It was all about the Assassin Yin Ye, detailing his place of birth, date of birth, and when he joined a mercenary corps. It also listed all the battles he had participated in, how many enemies he had killed, and whether he had been injured; everything was meticulously recorded. Looking through these materials, Lin Tian felt like he had followed in Yin Ye''s footsteps and experienced everything that had happened to Yin Ye. "There''s nothing interesting to look at, even the most splendid achievements only reflect past glories." "What I want to know is why did you provoke this god of death?" That was Chen Yixuan''s true intention, but Lin Tian kept silent. "I''m not sure. He''s an assassin, so obviously someone hired him." "You''re not worried at all! Someone has hired an assassin against you, and you don''t want to know who''s behind it?" Lin Tian certainly wanted to know, and he had already gotten the answer from the assassin. "Did you manage to get anything out of him?" "No, this assassin has very strong mental fortitude, we tried various methods but couldn''t persuade him." It turned out that Chen Yixuan had hit a setback at Yin Ye, hence she thought of seeking out Lin Tian. "It seems this assassin is quite tough." "You definitely know who ordered it, why won''t you say it." Chen Yixuan''s intuition was sharp, and combined with her years of solving cases in the police force, her logical thinking was exceptionally strong. "Sorry, but I don''t think I''m your criminal, Officer Chen. I need to attend class now, so I won''t disturb you anymore." Lin Tian wanted to get out of the car, but Chen Yixuan had locked the doors. "If you don''t tell me today, you can forget about getting out of the car." Chen Yixuan had clearly set this up beforehand¡ªshe invited Lin Tian into the car, then locked the door; if Lin Tian didn''t talk, she wouldn''t let him out. So she''s resorting to this kind of tactic, Lin Tian touched his nose and then suddenly gave Chen Yixuan a smirking stare. "So Officer Chen, you''re specially here to repay a favor today?" "What repay a favor?" "If you aren''t here to warm my bed, then why did you lock the car doors?" "What are you talking about? Lin Tian, if you talk nonsense again, I''ll tear your mouth apart. Now tell me honestly, who is behind that assassin." "I really don''t know." "Have you offended anyone recently?" It looked like Chen Yixuan was determined to get to the bottom of this. "If I tell you, you have to reward me." "What sort of reward do you want?" "Kiss me once, then I''ll tell." Lin Tian was still brooding over Chen Yixuan not warming his bed, seizing the chance to take a little advantage of her. Of course, Chen Yixuan probably wouldn''t agree. Chen Yixuan bit her lip, looked around to ensure nobody was paying attention, then suddenly leaned over and kissed Lin Tian on the face. It was like a dragonfly skimming the water, grazing then immediately departing. "I kissed you, hurry up and tell me." "That counts as a kiss? I didn''t feel anything at all." "Regardless, I''ve kissed you, hurry up and tell me." "Alright, you police should be able to figure it out. It was Li Guan." Lin Tian was skeptical that the police department didn''t know about the conflict between Li Guan and his father. "Li Guan? I understand, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly. No matter who it is, ordering someone to kill is committing a crime." At that moment, Chen Yixuan brimmed with heroic spirit, her aura stern, looking like she was ready to dive deeply into this case. Lin Tian thought it would be best if Chen Yixuan didn''t get involved. After getting her answer, Chen Yixuan didn''t take Lin Tian to school but dropped him halfway and left. "Hey, that''s not nice, it''s hard to catch a cab from here." Chen Yixuan completely ignored Lin Tian''s shouts and drove off. Lin Tian was sure this woman was retaliating because he had made her kiss him. Women really hold grudges over trivial matters, it was just a kiss after all. Alas, now he was doomed to walk to school. There were no buses on this road, and taxis rarely came. "Lin Tian, are you walking to school?" Today was definitely Lin Tian''s day for charming encounters; having just gotten off the police woman''s car, he then bumped into the campus beauty. Shen Mengyi was driving a red BMW, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. "Ah, let''s not talk about it, a woman left me stranded on the road." "Left by someone? Haha, serves you right, that''s what you get for being flirtatious. If it were me, I''d have kicked you out long ago." "That''s not right, Beauty Shen. You just invited me into your car! Are you not bringing me in to do something meaningful?" "Of course, we are doing something. Let''s go to school and attend class, that''s the most meaningful thing. Study hard, make progress every day." Shen Mengyi laughed and drove fast while Lin Tian wore an irritated look. "I mean something else meaningful." "We can talk about that another day, today we must first do this meaningful thing well." True to the president of the Broadcasting Club, Lin Tian suddenly found himself at a loss. He thought for a moment, then decided to close his eyes and rest. "Hey, you''re with a beauty and you can still sleep? Am I that uncharming?" "It''s not about lacking charm, you''re just too beautiful. I''m afraid if I look a few more times, I might lose control and do something crazy." "Really? What kind of crazy things would you do? Tell me." "Crazy things, how could I tell you that? Once I go crazy, I definitely won''t remember anything. Though, I should be able to remember Shen Mengyi." Chapter 288 Outdoor Activities Laughing and chatting with Shen Mengyi all the way to school, Lin Tianxia got out of the car and seemed to catch a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing in a flash. When he looked over, that person was already gone. Lin Tian didn''t pay it much attention and told Shen Mengyi he was heading to class. After the morning classes were over, Bu Mengting came looking for him. "Mengting, my little wifey, how come you''ve missed me again after just one morning apart?" Seeing Bu Mengting, Lin Tian immediately perked up. "Yes, I''ve missed you. Tell me, how exactly did you come to school this morning?" However, Bu Mengting''s face was somewhat cold at the time. This morning? Lin Tian was originally riding in Chen Yixuan''s police car but got dumped halfway and ended up in Shen Mengyi''s car. "This morning I took the bus to school." He couldn''t tell Bu Mengting about either woman. "Hmph, just keep on lying to me, then." Bu Mengting was clearly very upset and turned to leave. Lin Tian immediately ran up to stop her. "Mengting, my little wifey, what''s this all about? We were fine, so why are you suddenly upset?" "You lied to me. You clearly got a ride to school this morning with Shen Mengyi." Continue your story on My Virtual Library Empire "How, how did you find out?" "If you don''t want people to know, don''t do it." Bu Mengting pushed Lin Tian away, trying to leave, but he held her back. "Mengting, my little wifey, I didn''t mean to lie to you. And let me tell you, no woman of Lin Tian''s is going to escape from my side." "Let go of me. Go find your Shen Mengyi." "Even if Shen Mengyi needs to be found, my little wifey Mengting, I won''t let go. Hehe, with such big breasts, can''t you be a little more open-minded?" "Screw you, it''s because you keep lying to me." Bu Mengting stopped pretending; she had known all along that a man as impressive as Lin Tian would surely have more than one or two women. Her previous display of emotions in front of Lin Tian was simply to get him to pay more attention to her. "Don''t be mad. I''ll treat you to barbecue tonight." Lin Tian sweet-talked Bu Mengting with a few more words until he finally cheered her up. The figure he saw in the morning must have been Bu Mengting''s roommate, Zhang Guo''er. No wonder it looked familiar; Lin Tian had met Zhang Guo''er several times before. To think she snitched on him stealthily, but fortunately, my little wifey Mengting is unwaveringly devoted to me. After the afternoon classes, Lin Tian went to the library. He hadn''t attended classes properly for a while, so, seizing this rare moment of peace, he planned to truly experience campus life. The library was quite busy, but everyone was quiet. The occasional rustling of books and a few louder voices were immediately met with stares from others. It seems like a great atmosphere for reading. Lin Tian casually picked up a book and sat down, only to have someone sit beside him the moment he did. Accompanied by a whiff of fragrance, Lin Tian faintly felt it was familiar. Turning his head, he saw Shen Mengyi with a book, sitting next to him. "What a coincidence!" Lin Tian greeted her, only to be met with a glaring stare from Shen Mengyi. Seeing that Lin Tian was puzzled, Shen Mengyi took out a pen and wrote a message on a slip of paper. "You''re not allowed to speak loudly in the library." Quite amusing, it reminded Lin Tian of the days in high school when they passed notes under the teacher''s nose while lectures were going on. He snatched the paper and pen from Shen Mengyi''s hands and penned a response. "If we can''t speak loudly, can we still touch each other?" "Get lost, just read your book properly." "With such a beautiful girl right beside me, how can I possibly focus on a book?" In school, Shen Mengyi was of course wearing hot pants. Which made Lin Tian a bit thirsty. "This is the library, you need to get your mind right and read. Beauty is found within the pages of books." "In ancient times, people turned to books because they had not seen beauty like yours. Now that I have such beauty beside me, why should I bother with books? Wouldn''t that be a waste of energy?" "It looks like I won''t be able to read tonight. Let''s go for a walk, so we don''t disturb the other students." Lin Tian was just about to retort, how was he disturbing other students. But Shen Mengyi had already packed up her things, ready to leave. When Lin Tian stood up, he realized that he indeed had distracted quite a few students around him. His and Shen Mengyi''s, the famous president of the Broadcasting Club, little note-passing in the library was bound to draw other students'' eyes. "I initially wanted to dive into the book for beautiful prose, but the beauty leaped out of the pages to find me." Once outside the library, Lin Tian pretended to complain. Listening to him, Shen Mengyi''s face turned slightly red. "So you mean to say it was me who came looking for you?" "Isn''t that the case? I was already seated when you came to sit down. Don''t deny it." "Alright, let''s just say that''s true. Actually, I really did have something to talk to you about." "See, I told you that you came to me." "Let''s take a walk around the track." It was already dark. If they stood at the library entrance, the two of them would be an obvious target. The track had an advantage - no lights. From a distance, one would only see two people without knowing who they were. "Sure, let''s head to the track." Lin Tian and Shen Mengyi had walked half a lap around the track when Lin Tian spotted a nice spot and pulled Shen Mengyi over. "How about this place? We can just lie on the grass and look up at the stars!" Lin Tian lay down first, stretching out his body to form the character ''big''. All of a sudden, Lin Tian got up, supporting himself with his hands, and looked around. "Did you hear something?" Shen Mengyi had just finished speaking when they heard a strange sound. It was like someone immensely enjoying themselves yet trying hard to suppress their voice. "Mengyi, look!" Lin Tian''s voice became unconsciously soft, as he hugged Shen Mengyi''s slim waist from behind and pointed toward the small grove in front of them. Shen Mengyi frowned a little at Lin Tian''s audacity, but she was more curious about what Lin Tian had seen. "Ah!" Shen Mengyi immediately realized what it was and quickly covered her mouth to avoid shouting out and creating an awkward situation. Turning to look at Lin Tian, who was still watching intently, even the hand wrapped around her waist was getting restless. For some reason, Shen Mengyi directly twisted Lin Tian''s waist with her hand. "Ouch! Why did you twist me?" Lin Tian didn''t want to disturb the couple ahead, so he kept his voice down. "Who told you to be a pervert? What are you looking at? Let''s get out of here." "That''s it, we''re leaving?" Lin Tian felt slightly regretful; he had wanted to observe a bit more. "You men are all lecherous." "How is that lecherous? Don''t you plan to ever get married? Never engage in such activities for your whole life?" Lin Tian retorted, and Shen Mengyi found it an unreasonable argument she couldn''t refute honestly. After all, women do get married, and once married, naturally, they would engage in such acts. No one can avoid it. "Disgusting. I don''t want to go for a walk anymore, I''ll just tell you what it is. The school is planning to organize an outdoor activity soon. Are you going or not?" "Outdoor activity?" "Yes, everyone brings food and drinks, and we go to the mountains or the forest for a barbecue." As soon as Shen Mengyi uttered these words, Lin Tian cracked a smile. A prompt appeared in the system. Randomly triggered mission: accompany Shen Mengyi to the forest for an experience. The reward for completion is a Superpower Point, with no penalty for failure. Although there was no penalty, for Lin Tian, the opportunity to earn Supernatural Points was not something he was willing to pass up. Not to mention accompanying a beauty on an outing. "If a beauty wants me to go, then of course I''ll go. Can''t let Shen the Beauty down." "Who wants you to go?" "Take it or leave it, I''ve told you anyway." After saying that, Shen Mengyi wanted to head back to her dormitory¡ªor rather, escape back to her dormitory as quickly as possible, away from Lin Tian. But in her rush, things were bound to go awry. In her haste to turn around, Shen Mengyi lost her balance. The uneven ground and a pothole worked against her, and she was about to fall. "Ah!" Shen Mengyi let out a cry, and immediately, a figure appeared by her side, strong arms swiftly enveloping her in a tight embrace. "Are you okay?" Lin Tian''s voice suddenly turned deep and magnetic, etching itself into Shen Mengyi''s heart. Her mind went blank as she stared into Lin Tian''s face, thinking how wonderful it would be to always be held like this. But since Shen Mengyi didn''t respond for a long time, Lin Tian thought she might have been injured. Sear?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hey, where does it hurt? Let me see." "I''m fine, I wasn''t hurt." Shen Mengyi finally snapped out of it, her cheeks blushing, and she wormed her way out of Lin Tian''s arms, embarrassed. "About that outdoor activity, if you want to join, give me a call. I¡ªI''m going back to the dorm now." Having said that, Shen Mengyi left Lin Tian as if fleeing and ran towards her dormitory. Chapter 289 Still Want Freedom? "Why do I always feel like Shen Mengyi is running away?" Watching the panicked Shen Mengyi run towards the dorm, Lin Tian always felt something was amiss. However, recalling their recent close encounter, Lin Tian''s hand seemed to still retain a faint delicate fragrance. When Lin Tian returned to the dorm, Guo Rong was eating, while Feng Jiabao and Lin Tao were playing on the computer. "Lin Tian, why are you back so late? Oh yes, I just heard someone say you were passing notes with the beautiful president of the Broadcasting Club in the library. Look at you, coming up with new tricks for flirting, even using notes to express affection. Publicly displaying affection in the library, huh!" Seeing Lin Tian return, Feng Jiabao immediately teased him a few sentences. Lin Tian hadn''t expected that the incident at the library had already been known by his roommates. "What affection are we showing? The beautiful president approached me because she had something to discuss." "What did she want to discuss with you?" Feng Jiabao was clearly unconvinced, turning his head and even pulled in another person to verify. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Guo Rong, what do you think?" "A woman looking for a man, what else could it be about." This foodie couldn''t even keep his mouth shut with snacks, Lin Tian had no choice but to explain everything. Explore new worlds at My Virtual Library Empire Upon hearing Lin Tian mention that the school was organizing an outdoor activity to explore the forest, everyone showed interest. "Hey, outdoor activities are quite popular these days. Let''s go together." "Exactly, we could make our own stove, light a fire, and try out the primitive lifestyle of men plowing and women weaving." Feng Jiabao''s imagination was always rich; he even thought of men plowing and women weaving, which was unmatched. The usually indifferent Lin Tao also showed great interest this time. "Lin Tian, hurry and call Shen the Great Beauty to ask if we can bring a few more people. I''ve heard that there are quite a few beauties in the Broadcasting Club." Feng Jiabao clearly had ulterior motives, and Guo Rong was very eager as well. "I see you guys don''t really want to experience life in the forest but rather want to chase after beauties in the woods." "Hehe, you thought of that too, which means you''re also interested. How about it, Lin Tian, help us ask." "What''s there to ask about? If we''re going, let''s go together. It''s a school-organized activity, aren''t you guys students of the school?" Lin Tian outright agreed, and Feng Jiabao immediately gave him a thumbs up. "Lin Tian, you''re really awesome, buddy." The guys started discussing what to bring for the outing. Feng Jiabao suggested bringing tents to spend the night in the mountains. Guo Rong thought that they should bring more ingredients, otherwise, they might starve in the forest. Lin Tao thought they should bring some items for self-defense, just in case they encountered any danger in the forest. The three of them discussed heatedly, and Lin Tian didn''t join in. He figured that since it was a school-organized affair, he''d let the organizers worry about such things. For example, the great beauty Shen Mengyi. The three roommates excitedly discussed it for most of the night, while Lin Tian thought about Zhang Ya. Even with all its resources, Dark Shadow couldn''t accurately pinpoint Zhang Ya, which meant her foothold in England must be very solid. It had been many days now, Zhang Ya''s injuries should have mostly healed by now. It was another normal day, and Lin Tian got up early to attend classes, seemingly returning to the life of an ordinary college student. Surprisingly, Bu Mengting invited him to have lunch together at noon. In the school, this was the first time Bu Mengting had ever invited Lin Tian. Time, that thing, when you want it to speed up, it goes very slowly. And when you want it to slow down, it rushes by. At that moment, Lin Tian felt like one minute was as long as a day. Finally, the class ended. "Mengting, my little wifey!" Lin Tian rushed out of class and went early to Bu Mengting''s classroom. He happened to see Bu Mengting coming out of the classroom. With Bu Mengting was Guo''er, who had reported Lin Tian the day before. Seeing Lin Tian, Guo''er seemed to say a few words to Bu Mengting then stormed off angrily. "Be careful in school." Bu Mengting moved to break free but Lin Tian''s strength was not something she could escape from. She struggled for a moment but still couldn''t escape Lin Tian''s embrace. Lin Tian''s domineering words made Bu Mengting no longer feel shy, and she let Lin Tian hold her as they entered the cafeteria. "Lin Tian, I heard that last night you were passing notes filled with feelings to Shen Mengyi in the library, and then both of you ran off to that small grove by the school''s sports field. Not long after, the beautiful Shen Mengyi ran back to the dormitory with her face all flushed. Can you tell me, what did you and the beautiful Shen do last night?" It seemed last night at the library had indeed incited jealousy. Such a small incident had blown up into something huge. Lin Tian tightened his grip, hugging Bu Mengting even closer. "Little wife Mengting, don''t worry. If I were looking for other women, I would definitely report to you first. As for Shen Mengyi, she did have something to ask me last night." "She, a beauty and president of the Broadcasting Club, asked you for what?" "The school is planning to organize an outdoor activity soon, going into the forest to experience life. She wanted me to participate." "Outdoor activity? So, did you accept her invitation and participate?" "Why not participate? It''s so boring having classes at school all the time. Going to the forest to experience it will also help train my wilderness survival skills." "Good, then I''m also participating." Bu Mengting suddenly announced loudly that she too wanted to participate in the outdoor activity. "You too?" "Of course, why not?" Bu Mengting pouted, looking at Lin Tian. If Lin Tian said no, he was going to pay. "Of course it''s fine." "You''re wise. Okay, I''m full now, and you wanted to prove to the whole world that I''m your woman, right? I''ll give you a chance." Bu Mengting seemed to be having a lot of fun today, in a very good mood. "What chance?" "Carrying me back to the dormitory!" "Sure!" Lin Tian quickly squatted down in front of Bu Mengting. Feeling the softness against his back, Lin Tian felt secretly thrilled. Lin Tian carried Bu Mengting out of the cafeteria, and just as they were leaving, he suddenly paused. "Lin Tian, can''t you carry properly!" "No way, that''s too boring." Lin Tian was not in a hurry, hands behind his head, following from a distance. Bu Mengting''s anger rose as she saw Lin Tian''s behavior, thinking to walk faster to make Lin Tian anxious. She had just picked up speed when she was blocked by a tall figure. The figure spoke to Bu Mengting with imperfect Chinese. "Sorry, I don''t know you. Please move out of the way." "Hear me out, from the first moment I saw you, I was taken by you...." Jack was about to deliver a heartfelt confession, but at that moment Lin Tian rushed over and kicked Jack. The kick landed on Jack''s stomach, making him step back several steps. "Who are you? Why did you kick me?" Jack was caught off guard by Lin Tian''s kick, and was very angry. "She is my woman, and you were harassing her. Should I not kick you?" "Your woman? Oh? You Chinese really don''t have any concept of freedom. She isn''t your woman; she is free. I like her, pursuing her is my freedom too." Jack''s Chinese was not fluent, but his message was very clear. "I''ll freedom your face!" Lin Tian directly slapped Jack across the face. "Want freedom now?" "You''re challenging me, today I''m going to show you what I''m made of." The dazed Jack surprisingly adopted a boxer''s stance, his feet moving constantly, somewhat impressively. "I''m going to beat you till you cry!" Chapter 290 Make You Cry Jack threw a punch at Lin Tian''s head with great speed and power. Before coming to China, Jack had learned boxing for a while and had great confidence in his skills. However, Lin Tian neither dodged nor evaded, and directly countered with a punch to Jack''s fist. The two fists met squarely. "Ow¡ª" Jacks let out a scream, clutching his hand with his other one, which wouldn''t stop trembling. My God, was this man''s fist made of steel? Why did it feel like hitting a steel plate? Jack''s hand was slightly injured in an instant, and this was the result even after Lin Tian had held back a little. "You want to make me cry? Then today, I must make you cry!" Lin Tian grabbed Jack''s blond hair and raised his hand to deliver another slap. "Jack? Remember, under your feet, this is Huaxia." This slap was even more powerful than the previous one, nearly flipping Jack over. Jack''s forehead was seeing stars. "Still want your freedom?" Another slap followed, and blood began to trickle from the corner of Jack''s mouth. After a dozen consecutive slaps, Jack''s face had swollen up like a pig''s head. "Better watch your step next time!" After dealing with Jack, Lin Tian left with his arm around Bu Mengting who, before leaving, made a point of stepping on Jack with her high heel. S§×arch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Mengting, my little wife, is becoming more and more violent. In a super luxurious hospital room lay two men with both arms wrapped in bandages and suspended in the air, yet there was look of enjoyment on their faces. Rich people, even when hospitalized, lived in luxury. On the beds of the two patients... Upon closer inspection, the two women dressed as nurses looked exactly alike. They were twins. The two patients on the hospital beds were naturally Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin. Lin Tian had broken both of their hands, and then left. Both of their families were wealthy, so they were quickly admitted to the best hospital, treated by the best doctors, and underwent the best surgeries. Miraculously, all four of their arms were saved. "Wenbin, you didn''t waste your money on these two girls, they are truly top-notch. If it weren''t for these two, I really can''t imagine how I''d get through my time in this hospital. This is practically like being in jail." "Don''t worry, Master Li. As long as you are in Wu''an City, I guarantee you won''t be bored. But, Master Li, that guy that day ruined both our hands, and I just can''t swallow this insult." It was originally Wenbin who volunteered to help Li Guan get revenge, sending Yin Ye to kill Lin Tian. The result was that they incurred Lin Tian''s wrath, and Lin Tian came knocking. None of their bodyguards could stop Lin Tian. "You have to swallow it even if you can''t, do you think you can beat that freak?" Li Guan cast a sideways glance at Wenbin, which essentially means talk about adding insult to injury. That Wenbin, always speaking of things that are far from pleasant. Zhang Wenbin, rendered speechless by Li Guan''s comment, fell silent. That''s right, seeking revenge wasn''t the problem, the key was who could subdue Lin Tian! "This guy is too strong, it''s like he''s cheating. But, I think since he''s alone, if we gather more people and set up an ambush, we should be able to make him fall hard." Zhang Wenbin clearly hadn''t learned his lesson; his hands hadn''t even recovered, and he was already eager to settle accounts with Lin Tian. Li Guan was not optimistic about Wenbin''s proposition. It was following Wenbin''s suggestion last time that they had sent an assassin, and that assassin ended up betraying both him and Wenbin. "Enough with your lousy ideas. By the way, what about that awesome assassin you recommended last time? Turned around and sold us out. I heard some cop is on this case now, trying to get the assassin to testify against us? Wenbin, shouldn''t you be putting more thought into this matter?" "Don''t worry, that assassin only leaked some information as a compromise with Lin Tian. Those cops will definitely get nowhere with him." "I don''t want to hear what''s impossible; I just want to know, when will that guy be unable to testify in court?" Li Guan''s hysterical roar made Zhang Wenbin inexplicably nervous. "What are you suggesting, Master Li?" To be honest, Yin Ye had been with Zhang Wenbin for almost three years, making a lot of money for Wenbin, and Wenbin had developed some affection for Yin Ye. However, it was clear that Li Guan intended to silence the assassin. "We can''t keep this assassin. I don''t want to be caught holding the bag when I get out." The influence of the Li Family in Capital City was enormous. Situations like Li Guan''s could usually be handled with just a word from someone in the Li Family. But Li Guan didn''t want to do that. Asking for help from someone in the family would only show that he couldn''t handle his own affairs. "Yes, Master Li. That assassin won''t survive tonight," Wenbin said. "Good, I told you to collect information on Lin Tian, did you get it?" "Ah, don''t even mention it. I tried to buy Lin Tian''s information from the Dark Net, but they said they couldn''t offer anything on him. I did some digging myself, and Lin Tian seems like a regular person, parents doing some small business. But Lin Tian suddenly exhibited extraordinary abilities just before the college entrance exam..." Zhang Wenbin recited the information he had gathered through various channels. "Shadow doesn''t provide his information¡ªcould this guy also be with Shadow?" Li Guan''s brows furrowed, thinking Lin Tian seemed quite extraordinary. Zhang Wenbin had thought of this before and even asked Shadow''s people about it. "It shouldn''t be. I''ve asked them. They said Lin Tian''s information is classified as S-level, and Shadow would never sell out any intel about Lin Tian." "Interesting. Wenbin, listen to me, be patient for a few days. We''ll properly heal up in the hospital these few days, live peacefully for a bit. I''ve already devised a strategy to deal with Lin Tian." Hearing Li Guan say this, Zhang Wenbin immediately became excited. "So you had a plan all along, Li Shao, when do we act? I must stomp hard on Lin Tian, no, I want to kick him to pieces." Li Guan glanced sideways at Zhang Wenbin. He thought to himself that Zhang Wenbin was someone without determination, not fit for big endeavors. However, the women he brought were indeed not bad. "Don''t worry, when it''s time to deal with Lin Tian, I''ll definitely bring you along." "It''s not that I''m being nosy, Li Shao, but may I ask what does your friend do? Lin Tian is very formidable. According to Yin Ye, this Lin Tian seems to have some magical abilities." Zhang Wenbin was clearly not reassured; the harsh lesson from last time made him fully aware that there are always bigger fish. "So what if he does? Do you know who my friends are?" "Who are they?" "Demons!" "What''s a demon?" Zhang Wenbin, obviously never having heard of demons, was immediately baffled. "The Demons are one of the top five mercenary corps in the world. Don''t underestimate the Demons; this organization is extremely vicious. Once they take action, I guarantee Lin Tian will die a very ugly death." "Sounds very formidable, then I shall look forward to seeing Li Dashao''s performance." "Rest assured, this time we''ll definitely handle Lin Tian. And it seems Lin Tian has two women. Once Lin Tian is dead, his women, we''ll take one each!" "Sounds good." Meanwhile, Lin Tian was unaware that Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin, whose hands he had broken, were still plotting how to deal with him. He had just finished his class when he was summoned by Feng Jiabao and a few others. Unexpectedly, Bu Mengting was there, too. "I heard from Feng Jiabao that you guys plan to buy some tents and stuff today. I want to come along." Logically, buying tents was typically the grunt work. Lin Tian was somewhat reluctant to have Bu Mengting do this kind of work, but she insisted on joining. The group left the school grounds, bound for a tent purchase with great fanfare. With so many people, they needed to bring several tents. "Lin Tian, why don''t you and Bu Mengting share one?" Feng Jiabao was the financial supervisor for this purchasing plan. All the purchases were recorded by Feng Jiabao. "Sure." Bu Mengting was hesitant, but Li Tian agreed without hesitation. "Then we''ll just buy three tents." Beyond tents, they also procured some sleeping bags and moisture-proof mats. Guo Rong, a foodie at heart, was always thinking about food, and due to his insistence, they bought quite a bit of snacks. After they finished purchasing, everyone was laden with big and small packages. Of course, except for Bu Mengting, whose share Lin Tian carried. Lin Tian easily carried the items, not showing any strain even while carrying double the load. Just as the group finished shopping and was about to return to the school, someone blocked their way. The ones blocking Lin Tian and the others were a group of foreign students, including Black and White people, and a few who looked quite similar to the Chinese. Jack''s face was swollen like bread at the moment, yet he wore a very happy smile. This time, he brought more than twenty people to encircle Lin Tian. The number of foreign students with Jack was nearly three times the size of Lin Tian''s group. "Who are you people? Why are you stopping us?" Feng Jiabao stepped forward. "What do we want? Look, one of you tough guys dared to hit me. Do you think you can bully me because I''m a foreigner? Let me tell you, you can''t. These are all foreigners. Let''s see if you can still bully us." Jack''s Chinese was not good, but he was quite shrewd. Right off the bat, he charged Lin Tian''s group with targeting them because they were foreign students. Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire With such an accusation, if any mishaps occurred, they could position themselves as the disadvantaged group, seeking more support for their side. Chapter 291 Black-skinned Pig Lin Tian and his group, including Bu Mengting, were merely five people, while Jack''s group of international students numbered over twenty. Among them were three or four black students, exceptionally tall and muscular, their muscles solid like reinforced concrete, their dark skin shining under the sunlight. "What''s happening, Lin Tian?" The international students were targeting Lin Tian, but no one in the dorm retreated; they all stood in front of Lin Tian. Seeing the concerned expression on Feng Jiabao''s face, Lin Tian also felt somewhat touched. "That foreigner harassed Mengting, so I beat him up. No worries, I''ll beat him again this time." Just as Lin Tian was about to make a move and deal with the group of foreigners, Feng Jiabao unexpectedly stepped in front of him. "Lin Tian, why are you trying to show off? Today, with our brothers here, no one dares to touch anyone from our dorm." "The boss is right, today we''ll kill these foreign devils." Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire Guo Rong, usually obsessed with food, also rarely showed a hint of fierceness. Lin Tian really wanted to say that even if twenty more of these foreigners came, they''d be trash, and there was no need for anyone to worry about him. However, the other three didn''t seem to be listening; they stood firmly in front of him and Bu Mengting. "Hey, Jack. These yellow monkeys, they seem like they want to fight back! This should be fun, otherwise my fists will have nowhere to go." A muscular black guy laughed at Jack. This guy was huge, standing there like a human pillar. His name was Johnson, and he was the leader among these foreign students. "Who are you calling a yellow monkey, you black pig? Come out, I''m going to thrash you!" Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was about to explode with anger and was about to beat up this black guy, but Lin Tao jumped out ahead of him, confronting the black guy head-on. The term "black pig" not only made Johnson glare but also caused the other black students to look on disapprovingly. "Yellow monkey, you''re looking for death!" Johnson''s fists crackled ominously as he clenched them. Lin Tao wasn''t afraid at all. "Black pig, if you chicken out, kneel down and apologize, and I''ll let you off this time." Typically silent, Lin Tao exploded today. Feng Jiabao and Guo Rong screamed in excitement. "Black pig, just kneel down!" Seeing the situation, Lin Tian thought about it and decided not to make his move just yet. He let Lin Tao be the hero this time. He had previously taught Lin Tao the Sword Dao, and he was curious how well Lin Tao had grasped it lately. Though fighting this black pig should not pose any problem. "Yellow monkey, you''ve angered me." Johnson could no longer hold back, and he directly stepped forward, charging at Lin Tao. This guy was so big that his running was almost like walking, but each step he took caused a dull sound. "This black pig is quite strong, I wonder if Lin Tao can withstand him." Guo Rong was a little worried. "What are you afraid of, Lin Tao has even beaten the Sword Dao beauty; being strong doesn''t make any difference, Lin Tao will handle it. And if not, we''ll all rush up together and pound that black pig." Feng Jiabao was pretty good at boosting morale. While they were talking, Lin Tao and Johnson had already collided. Indeed, they crashed into each other. Facing the intimidating Johnson, Lin Tao did not choose to dodge; instead, he met him head-on. "Bang!" Johnson didn''t budge, while Lin Tao was forced back five steps. Although Lin Tao moved back five steps, a smile appeared on his face. "Not bad, you''ve got some strength." Then, his speed suddenly increased, and before Johnson could react, he landed a punch on Johnson''s abdomen. However, the punch felt like it had hit wild pig skin; Johnson remained unmoved, as if Lin Tao''s punch wasn''t even hitting him. "Yellow monkey, you can really jump around, but you''re just too weak." Johnson laughed loudly; his hands, large like cattail fans, swatted towards Lin Tao. This time Lin Tao was much more agile, and the two were like a super heavyweight boxer versus a lighter-weight boxer in a fight. Lin Tao could use his nimble movement technique to keep landing hits on Johnson, who relied solely on his physique to bear it all without any trouble. But if Lin Tao were truly hit even once by Johnson, he might not be able to stand up again. After a while of fighting, Lin Tao had left a few footprints on Johnson''s body, but Johnson was unaffected. "Yellow monkey, show some guts and don''t run!" Johnson shouted loudly, but Lin Tao still managed to dodge his attack. Lin Tao hadn''t expected Johnson to be so tough; anyone else would have been defeated by now. It''s frustrating, this situation is not working; he can''t cause any damage to Johnson at all. "Yellow monkey, is jumping around all you can do?" "Johnson, hurry and slap this yellow monkey dead, my head is getting dizzy from watching him jump around." The group of foreign students kept taunting Lin Tao. "A bunch of idiots, clearly Lin Tao has the upper hand, and they still think that black pig is all that." Feng Jiabao muttered under his breath; he also wanted to shout loudly to support Lin Tao, but there were too many opponents, and his voice simply couldn''t have any effect. "But actually, Lin Tao really can''t threaten that black pig," Guo Rong said, more pessimistically. Lin Tian had been watching for a while, noticing that Lin Tao hadn''t fully integrated the Sword Dao, just using boxing and kicking techniques to fight Johnson. "Lin Tao, use the Sword Dao already!" "I want to, but I don''t have a sword in my hand." Lin Tao was extremely frustrated; his entire skill set revolved around the sword, and now empty-handed, he felt extremely stifled in combat. "Who says you don''t have a sword? It seems you haven''t fully understood the Sword Dao. The sword, a weapon, anything that can serve as a weapon can serve as a sword." "What do you mean?" Lin Tao asked, and in a moment of distraction, nearly got punched by Johnson. As he dodged Johnson''s punch, all the Sword Dao experiences that Lin Tian had taught him before flashed through his mind. A flash of enlightenment sparkled in Lin Tao''s mind. "Right, anything that can serve as a weapon can be my sword." He suddenly stopped, and looked coldly at Johnson. "Black-skinned pig, I''m done playing with you, I''ll take you down now!" Lin Tao relaxed his fists, transforming them into palms; he would use his palms as his sword. "All you do is talk big, my punch will knock you down." Seeing Lin Tao stopping, Johnson thought it was his chance and hurled his fist at Lin Tao. The punch was fast and powerful, generating a whistling sound from sheer physical force. Facing this punch, Lin Tao didn''t move; he retracted his palms, and the Sword Dao taught to him by Lin Tian appeared in his mind. "Lin Tao, run!" "Damn, has Lin Tao gone insane? Fighting head-on with the black-skinned pig?" Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao immediately grew anxious, shouting to remind Lin Tao. Lin Tian, however, wore a slight smile; Lin Tao had won this time. "Hahaha, yellow-skinned monkey, out of energy to jump now, aren''t you?" Johnson''s fist smashed towards Lin Tao''s chest, and it was about to hit him. Suddenly, Lin Tao opened his eyes, a piercing gaze causing a chill in Johnson''s heart. He didn''t know why, but suddenly, he felt fear in his heart, but at this moment, he trusted his fist more. His iron fist was about to destroy everything about this Huaxia man. Lin Tao''s palm moved, or rather, Lin Tao''s sword was drawn. In that instant, his palm became a sword, and the speed of this sword surpassed the ultimate speed that human eyes could catch, stabbing precisely below Johnson''s ribcage. It was too fast. So fast that nobody reacted until it seemed like Lin Tao''s palm had always been under Johnson''s ribcage. "Haha, yellow-skinned monkey, your attack had no effect on me." Johnson said, just as he was about to continue his unfinished punch, suddenly yelped and stepped back three paces, clutching his ribcage, shouting incessantly. "Demon Art, you used Demon Art." In the instant Lin Tao hit him, a mysterious force entered his body directly, like a long sword piercing Johnson''s ribcage, tearing the skin and lodging into the bone. S~ea??h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But Lin Tao was clearly using his palm. Intense pain made Johnson slightly embarrassed and even more furious. "What are you all standing around for? Get them all, kill these yellow-skinned monkeys. Fuck!" The black-skinned pig cursed, and the other foreign students immediately rushed forward en masse. On this side, Lin Tian and his group, of course, wouldn''t just watch Lin Tao; they also charged forward. What made Lin Tian wryly smile was that Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao were surprisingly fast. "You two protect Mengting, leave these trash to me." Lin Tian had to quickly overtake the two, Lin Tao knew Sword Dao and going first wasn''t an issue. Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao were ordinary people, fewer against many, they were bound to be at a disadvantage. "Jack! You''ve got guts, daring to provoke me again, I''ll leave you with a lasting impression." As Lin Tian spoke, he charged into the crowd. With the foundation of his Ox Power Technique, these foreign students were like sheep, and Lin Tian was a lion charging into the flock. Any punch could knock down a foreign student, even the stronger black men were flipped with a single kick. In the blink of an eye, all the foreign students were beaten down by Lin Tian. The only one left able to move was Johnson, still fighting Lin Tao. "Jack, we meet again!" Having cleaned up the trash, Lin Xu set his sights on Jack. Jack, already pale from being Caucasian, seemed to turn even whiter. "You can''t hit me, you''re bullying a foreigner. I''m going to call the police!" Facing Lin Tian alone, Jack felt a fear emanating from his very bones. "Go ahead and call them, and while you''re at it, make sure to mention that you''ve broken your leg." "My leg is clearly not broken." Jack had just finished speaking when he realized what was happening. Lin Tian''s kick landed on Jack''s thigh, with a crack, his leg deformed, spilling a large pool of blood. "Ah!" Jack screamed and fainted. Chapter 292 Kidnappers Johnson saw his man instantly flipped over by someone from the opposite side, and Jack''s thigh was even kicked broken. His eyes were about to burst, thinking that this person in front of him actually wasn''t the strongest one on the other side. "Black Pig, it''s time for us to have a result!" The success of that strike greatly boosted Lin Tao''s confidence, and his understanding of Sword Dao had reached a higher level. He once again gathered his palms, then sprinted to accelerate towards Johnson. A fierce look appeared on Johnson''s face. Today, they were in trouble, but there was still something Johnson could do: to defeat the person in front of him. His fist tightened again, his vision contained only one person, Lin Tao. "Die!" Johnson''s fist struck out, carrying all his body''s strength. Lin Tao also drew out his palm, which looked very slow, just like Tai Chi. But in reality, if someone had the same eye power as Lin Tian, they could see that Lin Tao''s speed was so fast that it created illusions, piercing out countless times in an instant. "Ah!" Even Johnson couldn''t withstand the rapid, continuous strikes to his chest, and his huge body fell back, spouting a mouthful of fresh blood. "You two are unrealistically strong like non-humans!" Guo Rong was a bit frustrated, just as he was considering whether to take on two or five. Just during that moment of hesitation, the fight had ended. "Tsk tsk, with you two, won''t our dormitory sweep across Wu''an University?" A few people huddled together in high spirits. "We better run." After Guo Rong calmed down from his excitement, he suggested fleeing. "Right, right. This foreigner had his leg kicked broken by Lin Tian, if we call the police, it''s going to be a big issue. It might even lead to us being expelled from school. The school leaders, each of them treats foreigners like gods." "Then we definitely can''t run." Lin Tian, however, did not agree with fleeing. "Let''s hurry up and leave. One of the foreign students who came with them seems to have already called the police. He didn''t come over just now; he was hiding on the sidelines." The usually silent Lin Tao also spoke. "Come on, let''s go." "We can''t leave, we need to stay here. They provoked us first, so we were acting in self-defense. I trust the police will definitely be fair." In fact, Lin Tian wanted to set the record straight, stating it as foreign students, taking advantage of their numbers to bully others, were injured after being counterattacked by a few Wu''an University students. If Lin Tian didn''t leave, the others certainly wouldn''t either. "Mengting, did you videotape it just now?" "I did, right after you told me, I started recording." Right when Lin Tao was fighting Johnson, Lin Tian had asked Bu Mengting to start recording. The purpose was to keep evidence. A few minutes later, the police cars showed up. Such a quick response must be because a foreigner had reported the incident. Anything involving foreign students always makes the police tense. If handled improperly, it could become a major diplomatic issue. "Who reported the case just now?" a diligent police officer jumped down from the car. The other officers quickly surrounded the scene. "It was me!" At that moment, a male student who had been hiding in the distance jumped out, claiming he had called the police. The police had already secured the scene, with the only people standing being Lin Tian and his group. The situation seemed very clear. "What happened?" The diligent police officer went about his duties, as the foreign student began presenting his identity. "I am a Japanese student, Hiroshima Jiro, and this incident was all because these Wu''an University students, relying on their martial prowess, bullied us foreign students." So it turned out to be a Japanese. The diligent officer''s eyebrows twitched when Hiroshima Jiro mentioned he was Japanese. "Just the five of you bullied your group of more than twenty?" "Uh, although it seems illogical, this is the truth." "Not necessarily, stay here to cooperate with the investigation, and I''ll go inquire further." The diligent officer directly asked his colleagues to question the Japanese student, while he approached Lin Tian and the others. Seeing the group, the officer first raised his thumb. "Regardless of who''s right or wrong, you guys knocked these foreigners down; I must give you praise for that! Well done! Now, who''s going to tell me, what exactly happened just now?" "Just now, those foreigners were trying to mess with us, but we ended up beating them up. That''s pretty much what happened." Feng Jiabao spoke first, sensing that the officer seemed easy to talk to; he felt that there might truly be no trouble this time. "Oh? Why would they come and trouble you out of the blue?" It was then apparent that this diligent officer, despite admiring Lin Tian and his group, was still a principled cop. "Earlier, one of these foreigners harassed my girlfriend. It was that guy whose leg I broke. I had already beaten him up once, but this time he brought so many people, thinking they could definitely cripple me. Unfortunately, it ended up being him who was crippled." Lin Tian spoke with an expressionless face and, although his tone was flat, it made everyone feel extremely annoyed. Such a damn show-off. "Alright, I''ve basically gotten the gist of things, but these are all international students, so it''s not that simple to just wrap things up. You probably still need to come with us to the police station." Lin Tian and his group had no objections, just as they were about to follow the police into the police car. Another police car arrived. Chen Yixuan got out. "Squad Leader Chen!" With several merits under her belt, Chen Yixuan had now become the head of the detective squad. If it weren''t for her age, she might have directly become a deputy chief of a branch. "What''s going on?" "Here''s the thing..." The capable police officer relayed the details of the situation he had just learned to Chen Yixuan. Chen Yixuan nodded and approached Lin Tian. "Can''t you go easy when you strike? You were initially in the right, but then you broke that foreign devil''s leg, and now it''s a bit complicated." "What''s there to complicate? He started it." Bu Mengting had long held a grudge against Officer Chen Yixuan and immediately took out a video she had recorded to show to Chen Yixuan. After watching it, Chen Yixuan immediately showed a hint of joy. "If that''s the case, then it''s easy to handle. Bring all these kidnappers back with me." Suddenly, Chen Yixuan commanded the police to arrest all the international students who had just got up off the ground. "Now with evidence showing, you were gathering to cause trouble and attempted to kidnap five Wu''an University students. Take them all back." How did it turn into being kidnappers? Several people were a bit stunned. Chen Yixuan then winked at Lin Tian. "Yes, they are kidnappers. They tried to kidnap us. Luckily, we knew some self-defense, or they would have succeeded." Suddenly, an incident that was merely about college students fighting turned into foreign students gathering to cause trouble and kidnap Wu''an University students, only to be overpowered by Wu''an University students who knew self-defense. Chen Yixuan set the tone for the case, and the media that followed reported it as such. No one was fixating on Jack''s leg being broken by Lin Tian anymore; a bunch of kidnappers, lucky not to be killed, just a broken leg, considered themselves lucky. Lin Tian and his friends just recorded a statement at the police station and then left. "Tsk, tsk, it really helps to know people in high places. Lin Tian, that beautiful policewoman seems to have a thing for you." As soon as he stepped out, Feng Jiabao immediately gave Lin Tian a teasing smile. Who knew Lin Tian didn''t respond, and Bu Mengting pinched him hard on his waist. "This policewoman clearly framed and trapped us." "Hey, hey, Bu Mengting, it''s wrong of you to say that. That beautiful policewoman just helped us. I think it should be called ''marital aid kung fu.'' She instantly shifted the blame. Such a beautiful move. No matter how things end up, at least no one will pursue the matter of Lin Tian breaking Jack''s leg." S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Feng Jiabao analyzed everything logically, and the others agreed one after another. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire That left Bu Mengting a bit embarrassed. "You guys, any little favor, and you forget who you are. I''m going back to the dorm." "Don''t, Mengting darling, don''t be mad." Lin Tian tried to catch her, but Bu Mengting sped up and he couldn''t catch up; she ran off into the distance. "You guys, was that on purpose? Even if the beautiful policewoman and I had a thing, couldn''t you wait to say it, or say it when Bu Mengting wasn''t around?" "I just wanted to see Lin Tian''s way with women, to see how you juggle several stunning women. I believe the day for the beautiful policewoman and Bu Mengting to get along is coming soon." Feng Jiabao was always stirring up trouble, but Lin Tian didn''t hold it against him. "Bu Mengting is really angry; you guys help me follow her and escort her back to school." "You''re not coming, and you want us to follow? We''re not Bu Mengting''s men," Feng Jiabao was the first to protest. "You''re still talking; wasn''t it you who caused this mess? Bu Mengting is annoyed with me now, seeing me would only make her angrier. Hurry up, help out." Eventually, they agreed to help and followed Bu Mengting back to school. Lin Tian stayed where he was, and before long, the police station closed. Chen Yixuan came out in her uniform, which looked distinctly unique on her. Sinuous figure unmistakable, exquisite features, combined with a bit of heroic spirit. "Yixuan! Over here!" Lin Tian called out to Chen Yixuan and waved. Chen Yixuan looked around, spotted Lin Tian, and immediately walked over to him. "Why didn''t you go back to school?" "You helped me out so much today; of course, I have to show some gratitude. Did you think I was like you, promising to warm my bed, but then just stringing me along?" "Who''s stringing you along? I just helped you once, so let''s consider this time as compensation for the last. We''re even now." Chapter 293 I Just Want to Repay the Kindness "What do you mean by ''settled''? Let me tell you, Yixuan, being dishonest is your own business, but I won''t stoop to that level. You''ve helped me a lot this time, so tonight, I plan to warm your bed. I''m just that kind of person who repays favors." Lin Tian spoke with determination, as if he would repay the favor whether you wanted him to or not. Chen Yixuan''s eyes widened in disbelief. "Lin Tian, you wish! Who repays a favor like that? Want to warm my bed? I definitely don''t want that kind of favor from you." After saying this, she turned around and walked away, quite hastily, it seemed she was flustered. Who would have thought that after just a few steps, Lin Tian grabbed her. "What are you doing?" "I''m here to repay my debt today, and you''re not getting away!" "I, I really don''t need you to warm my bed." "Who said anything about warming beds to repay a favor? Yixuan, don''t get the wrong idea. I wanted to invite you to dinner." Wasn''t that what you said? Chen Yixuan internally criticized him, but dared not say another word. What if she provoked Lin Tian, and he insisted on warming her bed as a favor? She let Lin Tian lead her into a very elegantly decorated restaurant. "Yixuan, to thank you, I want to treat you to a meal today. Since I''m treating, you get to order. Here''s the menu!" Rarely, Lin Tian exhibited some gentlemanly behavior, and Chen Yixuan pursed her lips, just glad he wasn''t offering to warm her bed. She wasn''t fussy about food. The kinds of meat that ordinary girls didn''t like, Chen Yixuan didn''t mind at all. According to her, meat contains a lot of fat that can provide the body with more energy, and should be eaten more. Luckily, she kept up with her exercises, maintaining a good figure, otherwise, she would have easily become overweight. "Yixuan, I toast to you. If it weren''t for you today, I would have been in trouble." As soon as the food was served, Lin Tian picked up a glass of wine to toast Chen Yixuan. Chen Yixuan was driving, so she didn''t dare to drink alcohol, but she picked up a drink to reciprocate the gesture. "No need to be so formal. You''ve helped me so much in the past, this is just my way of returning the favor." "No way, that won''t do. What we had before were transactions. You can be dishonest and forget, but I can''t. Anyway, this time you helped me, so I''m treating you to a meal, and we''re not using past matters to settle it." Lin Tian gulped down his glass of wine in one go. Chen Yixuan gave Lin Tian an annoyed glance but said nothing more. "Have you found out where Zhang Ya is?" "No, I only know she went to England, but I don''t know her exact location." Mentioning Zhang Ya made Lin Tian''s mood turn gloomy. As long as Zhang Ya was alive, he couldn''t rest easy. Seeing Lin Tian''s expression, Chen Yixuan couldn''t help but sigh internally. "Did that Zhang Ya inherit Luo Li''s powers?" This was something Chen Yixuan deduced from various clues. Especially the way Lin Tian was determined to kill Zhang Ya, Chen Yixuan felt that Zhang Ya must not be an ordinary woman anymore. "How did you know about that?" Lin Tian was taken aback; he hadn''t told anyone about this. "The way you want her dead shows she''s no ordinary person and has become a danger to you. It''s unfortunate that my guess was right. Was a big part of the reason you messed with Zhang Ya because you killed Luo Li for me?" This guess of Zhang Ya inheriting Luo Li''s powers made Chen Yixuan feel a strange guilt towards Lin Tian. She thought that Zhang Ya was attacking Lin Tian solely because he had killed Luo Li, and Zhang Ya was seeking revenge for Luo Li. "Luo Li and Zhang Ya have nothing to do with each other. You can''t connect these two things. Zhang Ya hates me." "What? They''re not related? You''re not lying to me, right? From what you''re saying, did you and Zhang Ya have grievances before?" Chen Yixuan thought Lin Tian was saying this just to make her feel better. Lin Tian''s enmity with Zhang Ya wasn''t because of Luo Li. "Not only do I not have grievances with Zhang Ya, but I also saved her once at a zoo. Ah, all of this started from the time I saved her. If only I''d known, I really shouldn''t have saved her then." "It sounds like there''s quite a story there. Lin Tian, tell me more about it," Chen Yixuan said, her interest piqued as she looked at Lin Tian eagerly. Lin Tian actually wanted to share this story with someone else; he was curious about others'' opinions on how he dealt with Zhang Ya. So he started from the zoo incident, going all the way to when he blew up Zhang Ya''s arm and she fled to England. "So, your relentless pursuit of Zhang Ya is understandable. If she returns, she might immediately target the women close to you." "That''s exactly what I''m worried about. With Zhang Ya''s current strength, Mengting and Qianqian have no chance of resisting." Lin Tian looked somewhat helpless. Even the shadows couldn''t locate Zhang Ya; it seemed they could only wait for her to show up herself. But Zhang Ya showing up also meant that her injuries were fully healed. "Who can you blame but yourself, you heartbreaker? Even though you had a woman, you still flirted everywhere. This is your karma." At this moment, Chen Yixuan didn''t forget to take a jab at Lin Tian, laughing heartily. "I clearly rejected her; I just felt Zhang Ya had a bad personality back then. Who knew she would be so extreme." "Typical spoiled princess attitude, the precious daughter of the Zhang Family who always got whatever she wanted from childhood. How could she let a man she fancies slip away?" As a policeman, he hit the nail on the head right away. "Yixuan, do you have any good strategies to protect my two women? I can''t be with them every day, and even if I were willing, they wouldn''t agree. They have their own lives." "For now, I don''t have any good strategies. If there were one, it would be to find Zhang Ya sooner and nip the danger in the bud." This idea coincided perfectly with Lin Tian''s earlier thoughts, but unfortunately, not even a shadow could locate Zhang Ya, so the chance to implement this plan was lost. "Too bad we can''t find Zhang Ya''s location." "Don''t think too much about it. Since you managed to save Mengting and Qianqian from Zhang Ya''s grasp, you can surely save them a second time. Come on, let''s hurry up and eat; the food is getting cold." Chen Yixuan consoled Lin Tian a few words, and Lin Tian also knew that simply worrying was useless. "Do you want me to take you back to school?" After dinner, Chen Yixuan drove her car over. "Never mind, I want to walk alone." In truth, Lin Tian was afraid that someone would see him on his way back to school and tell Bu Mengting. Mengting, his little wife, wasn''t really angry; she was just pretending to create an opportunity for Lin Tian to meet Chen Yixuan alone. "Alright then, take your time walking back." Chen Yixuan was a carefree person; when Lin Tian refused to ride with her, she didn''t fret and just drove home. The first thing Lin Tian did when he got back to school was to call Bu Mengting. "Mengting, my little wife, I am back." "Back or not, I couldn''t care less. Is there anything else, or should I hang up?" Bu Mengting''s voice sounded firm, but Lin Tian knew she wasn''t really angry. If she were, she probably wouldn''t have picked up the call at all. "There is, of course. And it''s extremely important; it involves my life." "What is it? Lin Tian, what''s wrong with you?" Bu Mengting immediately became anxious. S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "It''s nothing; don''t worry. You need to remain calm. Now, do what I tell you." "Just tell me what I have to do!" Bu Mengting instantly became tense. "Okay, change into something nice right now and come to the school playground." "Oh, alright. Wait, how does this relate to your life?" Bu Mengting suddenly became alert, sensing something was off. "Of course it''s related. No time to explain now, just hurry over. If you''re late, you might not see me anymore." Lin Tian ended the call abruptly. Soon, Bu Mengting rushed out of her dormitory and ran all the way to the playground. By that time, it was already dark, and many places on the playground were pitch black and invisible. "Lin Tian? Lin Tian! Lin Tian, where are you?" Bu Mengting walked while calling out. Suddenly, a breeze blew from behind, and Bu Mengting felt someone embrace her from the back. Just as she thought about resisting and screaming, she immediately smelled a familiar masculine scent. "Lin Tian, are you trying to scare me to death? What life-threatening issue could possibly make you lure me out here!" Bu Mengting pinched Lin Tian''s waist, and Lin Tian immediately pretended to be in a lot of pain. "Stop twisting, it hurts, hurts, hurts!" Seeing Lin Tian seemingly in real pain, Bu Mengting let go of her grip, yet she still spoke sternly. "See if you''ll still go around flirting with that policewoman." "What do you mean by flirting? That incident this afternoon, she just helped me out. She helped solve a big problem, so of course, I had to show some gratitude. Besides, this whole incident was actually caused by you; technically, you should be the one thanking her properly," Lin Tian retorted. Bu Mengting was momentarily stunned; how had this incident involved her? "It was clearly you guys who fought and disturbed the police. What does that have to do with me?" "How can it not be related? It''s very much related. Let me explain it to you. Why did Jack and I start fighting in the first place?" "Uh¡­" Bu Mengting suddenly found herself at a loss for words; Jack and Lin Tian had fought because of her. Back then, Jack had been pestering Bu Mengting, and Lin Tian had shown up to teach Jack a lesson. That was the beginning of everything.

Let''s not talk about this anymore. If there''s nothing else, I''m going back to my dorm." "Don''t rush off. I told you, it''s about an important matter concerning my life!" "Well, spit it out then." "Here''s the thing. I just did a reading for myself, and if I don''t have a beautiful woman with me tonight, I might face a bloody disaster. Mengting, my little wife, as Qianqian isn''t around, you''re the only one who can save me from this calamity." Chapter 294 The Guest I Invited "Big liar! I''m going back to the dorm." As soon as Bu Mengting heard this, she knew she had been tricked by Lin Tian again, and turned to run. The easy prey before him, Lin Tian couldn''t possibly let it go. With a lunge, he rushed in front of Bu Mengting, embraced her, and then kissed her fiercely. Soon, Bu Mengting melted into a puddle, her mind filled only with thoughts of Lin Tian, nothing else. "Mengting, my little wife, don''t go back to the dorm today." "Mmm." Bu Mengting quietly agreed, and the two of them did not return to their dorms that night. The next day, the eagerly anticipated outdoor event finally began. Lin Tian''s dorm gang, brought out the tents and other living supplies they had already purchased. What Lin Tian and his friends hadn''t expected was that several women from Bu Mengting''s dormitory also came along with her. This included Liu Mei, who had lost a bet to Feng Jiabao last time at the swimming pool. Guo Rong, with sharp eyes, spotted Liu Mei, who was trying to remain inconspicuous. "Boss, the chick you won in the bet last time is also here. This time you have a good chance, why not just go for it?" The fact that Guo Rong remembered this event is rare, as Liu Mei''s dejected escape last time was still vivid in his memory. "Which Liu Mei?" Lin Tian was unaware of the bet and thought it was a girl Feng Jiabao had flirted with. "Humph, what does it matter if she''s here? I, Feng Jiabao, really don''t fancy this woman. Later, let''s not bring up what happened last time." As they were speaking, the girls had all come over. Bu Mengting felt a bit embarrassed; she had mentioned participating in the outdoor activity today, but her dorm mates insisted on coming along. "Lin Tian, they said they want to come along too." "Let''s all go, the more the merrier." With so many people around, Lin Tian of course had to back Bu Mengting up. The women immediately began praising Bu Mengting profusely for her influence, as if they were basking in her glory. The school bus arrived, and Feng Jiabao and a few others began to load their stuff onto it. "Excuse me, what are you doing? I haven''t seen you before." There were only the driver and a spectacled male student on the bus. When the male student saw Feng Jiabao calling the driver to open the luggage compartment, he stepped in front of them. "Oh, we''ve not seen you either. We''re here to participate in the school-organized outdoor event. You must be participating too, right? Let me introduce myself, my name is Feng Jiabao. Take care of each other on the road!" Feng Jiabao was hearty and warm toward people, but the male student was quite aloof. "I indeed am participating in the outdoor activity, but most of the participants this time are members of the Broadcasting Club. You aren''t members of the Broadcasting Club, are you? I have never seen you before." Broadcasting Club members? Feng Jiabao and his group were a bit confused, but they also knew that Lin Tian was invited by the club president, Shen Mengyi, so they were still confident. "We certainly aren''t members of your Broadcasting Club, but we were invited by your beautiful president, Shen Mengyi." When it came to being invited by Shen Mengyi, Feng Jiabao''s face showed pride. The male student''s expression changed, unable to hide his surprise that they were invited by the president. But the president had clearly said she had invited only one person; could it be she had remembered incorrectly? "Could you wait a moment? I''ll check with the president." The spectacled man was Li Ming, responsible for organizing this event. The bus was arranged by him, and he was meticulous in his duties. Now, with so many people wanting to join, the two buses he had arranged wouldn''t be enough. Feng Jiabao sensed something was amiss and went to relay the situation to Lin Tian. "Oh man, we were definitely a bit wrong here. That day, Shen Mengyi only mentioned inviting me to the activity, never said that it was open to the whole school. It seems like this is a Broadcasting Club event." "Ah, what do we do now? Mengting, how can your boyfriend be so unreliable?" The one who spoke up was Liu Mei. "Liu Mei, have you forgotten you''re supposed to be my girlfriend now?" Feng Jiabao hadn''t planned to bring this up, but Liu Mei always loved causing trouble and even had the nerve to call Lin Tian unreliable; he couldn''t tolerate it. "You!" Seeing it was Feng Jiabao, Liu Mei immediately kept quiet. Indeed, she was at fault last time for sneaking away after losing the bet. But to actually become Feng Jiabao''s girlfriend was absolutely out of the question for her. She had worked hard to get into university and dressed up every day for what? Wasn''t it to find a tall, rich, and handsome boyfriend? While Feng Jiabao was fairly tall, he wasn''t handsome at all. "Fine then, those who don''t want to go can leave now. I''m not forcing anyone. Those who want to stay, stay. Rest assured, we''re definitely able to participate in the activity today." Lin Tian was not worried; he believed Shen Mengyi would not let him down. Soon, Shen Mengyi arrived, accompanied by her sister, Shen Yiran. "Lin Tian, why did you bring so many people?" Honestly, Shen Mengyi had not expected Lin Tian to bring people from two dorms; she had only invited him. Perhaps she hadn''t made that clear? "Er, when I told them, they all said they wanted to come." Lin Tian also felt somewhat embarrassed, but now that everyone was there, he couldn''t just participate in the activity alone. He had already decided, either everyone would go together, or no one would go. Shen Mengyi frowned slightly, but quickly provided a solution. "Alright then, let''s all go. But, you have to agree to one condition." "What condition?" "You''ll find out when the time comes; get on the bus for now." Under Shen Mengyi''s approval, Lin Tian and his friends boarded the bus. Li Ming approached Shen Mengyi, saying the bus might not have enough seats. "No worries, I''ll drive and follow along, bringing a few students with me. Aren''t you driving as well, Li Ming? You can take a few boys." "Alright then. By the way, Mengyi, who exactly are these people? It''s a Broadcasting Club only event, why did you invite them?" "They''re guests I invited, and they all have unique skills." This outdoor activity was actually sponsored by a live streaming platform. Reality shows were popular now, and the Broadcasting Club was collaborating with this live streaming platform to create a college survival program. Though it was labeled a survival adventure, it was really just a gimmick¡ªas the survival skills of modern-day college students were practically non-existent. After Lin Tian and his group boarded, most of the Broadcasting Club members also arrived. Overall, there were somewhat more female members in the Broadcasting Club. Especially on the bus Lin Tian and his dorm mates were on, aside from them, the rest were mostly girls from the Broadcasting Club. The few male members of the Broadcasting Club went on another bus. After checking everyone''s attendance, Li Ming started the bus. This time, they were heading to a place called Dog Tail Hill, a three-hour drive from Wu''an City. Dog Tail Hill was relatively untouched and hadn''t been developed into a tourist spot. Plus, there was a county-level city nearby Dog Tail Hill, so they wouldn''t have to worry about cell service. After all, this time, they were collaborating with a live streaming platform. "I am a girl, a pretty girl..." Sitting on a bus can be pretty boring, so the Broadcasting Club''s girls started singing spontaneously. Being part of the Broadcasting Club, they naturally had beautiful voices and sang quite well. "This trip really wasn''t a waste, all these pretty girls. No, we should sing too, to attract the attention of the beauties. Maybe we''ll end up not single by the time we return." The only thing that could make food lover Guo Rong give up food was beautiful women. "Whenever I sing, the beauties all run away. Let''s just not. It''s enough to appreciate the girls singing." Feng Jiabao had the grace to know himself well. There was no need to mention Lin Tao; the guy stayed still as soon as he got on the bus, observing quietly without moving a muscle. Lin Tian, on the other hand, was openly showcasing his love with Bu Mengting. Ah, it looks like I''m the only one left to sing. "South Mountain South..." Guo Rong was rather straightforward¡ªif he wanted to sing, he sang out loud. As soon as he started, his voice overpowered the voices of the girls. But that was just loudness¡ªhis singing skills were truly not that great. "Fatso, can you shut up, please?" "It''s awful, how can you sing so terribly? Did your family even make you?" The girls from the Broadcasting Club immediately began to demean and laugh at him. This group of sharp-tongued girls quickly made Guo Rong too bashful to continue singing. "Hey, fatso, you guys just sit quietly and listen to the music, okay? Don''t create noise." Being despised by the girls completely sabotaged Guo Rong''s plan to attract attention. "What do you mean creating noise? I think you just don''t appreciate it. Listen carefully to how we sing." Seeing Guo Rong''s distress, Lin Tian couldn''t help but stand up and start singing. He sang the same song, South Mountain South. With the Ox Power Technique to control his vocal cords, his voice rang out melodiously and beautifully, just like the original singer. As soon as he began, everyone on the bus fell silent. Many even involuntarily started humming along with Lin Tian. "How come I feel this guy sings even better than the original?" "Do you think so too? I thought there was something wrong with my ears, but this guy really sings beautifully, and he''s so handsome too." "Ah, what a pity. It seems he already has a girlfriend." A group of girls whispered among themselves about Lin Tian. "Mengting, I had no idea your man was a singing god." Wang Du was Bu Mengting''s roommate, and she had also cheered on during the last swimming competition. Although this girl was quite reserved and seldom spoke, she was undeniably beautiful. "Of course, why else would he be Bu Mengting''s man?" Bu Mengting felt delighted inside. After the song South Mountain South ended, many people were still left longing for more. "One more song, one more song!" Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire "Another one, another one!" The girls began to shout loudly, and Lin Tian moved closer to Bu Mengting. "Mengting my little wife, what do you think, should I sing another one?" This immediately made everyone notice Bu Mengting, who giggled and said. "Sing them another song." Lin Tian nodded, stood up, and prepared to sing another song. But suddenly, the bus jerked and then came to a stop.

"Why has the bus stopped?" "Have we arrived?" At that moment, all the students stood up, as it was clear the bus didn''t stop normally. "We''re not there yet, but the bus has gotten stuck in a mud pit. Could some of you boys get off and help push?" The driver called out to Lin Tian and the other boys since they were the only males on the bus. Lin Tian and the others got off the bus and saw the rear wheels sunk into a large puddle. "Fatty, it''s your time to shine. Quick, lift the bus out." "Come on, boys!" A group of girls cheered them on, but Feng Jiabao and his friends didn''t look too pleased. Lifting the bus out of the mire wasn''t easy with so many students still on board. "Everyone off the bus, or they won''t be able to push it." The driver, quite experienced, told the girls to get off too. "No need, the ground is all muck. You ladies would dirty your shoes. Stay on the bus, don''t come down." Lin Tian suddenly waved his hand, telling the girls not to disembark. Indeed, the ground around the bus was no place to step. If they got off, the girls'' shoes and socks would get dirty. "Young man, don''t be cocky. You''d do well just to get it out empty, let alone with so many people on board. You can''t lift it." The driver thought Lin Tian was taking it too far, trying to show off. Feng Jiabao and his friends kept their eyes on Lin Tian, who just shrugged. "Everyone step back, let me do it alone." Lin Tian walked over to the side of the bus, everyone watching him. "You think you can lift this bus on your own? Alright, go ahead." The driver believed that even if the boys collectively tried to lift the empty bus, they''d fail to get it out. After all, the bus was stuck near the water puddle, surrounded by sludge, and it was hard to exert any force. "Lin Tian, you can do it!" Bu Mengting suddenly shouted, and Feng Jiabao and his friends immediately remembered Lin Tian''s impressive swim meet record. They also began shouting. "Lin Tian, you can do it!" Lin Tian positioned himself at the rear of the bus, found a solid spot to grip. He squatted down in a horse stance, then tensed his arms and shouted loudly. "Lift!" The bus was slowly lifted. Lin Tian, endowed with the Ox Power Technique, possessed immense strength and lifted the bus, including the nearly twenty female students on it. "Wow, that''s amazing!" "So manly, I want to be his girlfriend." "So strong." The girls immediately turned starry-eyed, each dreaming if only their boyfriends could be that impressive. The driver was utterly stunned, his mouth agape in an O shape. Once Lin Tian moved the bus onto the road, he let go, patted the mud off his body, and flashed a charming smile. "Lifting a bus doesn''t seem to be that difficult after all." "Young man, you''re impressive. Alright, hurry up and get on the bus, we''re almost there." The driver gave Lin Tian a thumbs up, urging him and the others to quickly board the bus. In a luxurious villa, two men with casts on their arms sat on a sofa. In front of them lay two beautiful women. "Master Li, are those Demon mercenary group people really as formidable as the legends say?" Zhang Wenbin had some knowledge about the Mercenary World, but he was only exposed to the lesser-known mercenary teams. Teams like the Demon mercenary group, ranked in the top five, were just rumors to him before. "They''re arriving soon, you''ll see for yourself. But be careful what you say, I''ve heard they have a bad temper." "I know, the Demon mercenary group is ranked fifth in the entire Mercenary World, known for their love of killing. I heard that just one of them could take out a whole platoon of regular troops." Compared to the Demon mercenary group, the Yin Ye that Zhang Wenbin had contacted before was nothing to mention. "Rumors might be exaggerated, but a great reputation doesn''t come from nowhere. It shouldn''t be far off. This time, I want to see how Lin Tian will die." Li Guan said through clenched teeth, suddenly grabbing the woman''s head below him and speeding up. At that moment, two off-road vehicles drove into the villa. The cars stopped, and a thin man resembling a monkey was the first to jump out. "Haha, another mission." "Monkey, keep it cool, I heard this time''s employer is a major client, the kind we can''t afford to offend." The second to disembark was a very handsome young man with a sunny smile, quite charming. "Can''t afford to offend, then we won''t offend." At that moment, the first vehicle suddenly rose briefly, as a rough-looking, burly man stepped out. This man''s build was comparable to a grizzly bear, like a brutal beast of a person. The other vehicle was occupied by two people. A cold-looking man wearing glasses and a flamboyantly dressed woman. "Everyone, make a good impression; this boss is a wealthy man. If we do a good job, he said he will reward us." "I like the tycoons!" The rowdy man said in a booming voice. A group of five people entered the villa. At this moment, Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had just pulled up their pants. "Young Master Li, the people from the Demon mercenaries are here." A middle-aged man, resembling a butler, walked in and announced. "Let them in." Li Guan tidied himself up and straightened his appearance. Soon, five people came in. Li Guan''s first glance was at the flamboyantly dressed woman, whose figure was explosive, with full breasts, perky buttocks, and straight legs. She was the type to elicit a reaction at first sight. But thinking of the rumors about the Demon mercenary group, he immediately suppressed his desires earnestly. "Which one of you is Young Master Li?" The Monkey began to shout as soon as he entered. This fellow was thin, yet his voice was surprisingly loud. Li Guan immediately stood up. "I am indeed. You must be from the Demon mercenary group, right?" "Correct, Young Master Li. Whatever you need, just command us." The man in glasses seemed to have some status among the group of five, silencing the others the moment he spoke. "Here''s the thing, I have a very capable rival. Previously, I hired an assassin to kill him. But he not only caught the assassin but also found me. Look at my hands; they are his handiwork." "Tsk tsk, Young Master Li, you really have bad luck. When hiring assassins, you must look for professionals." The Monkey said indifferently. "Exactly! The previous assassin was too unprofessional, and even I ended up suffering. But can you all show me a trick or two?" This time, Li Guan was cautious, afraid of hiring unreliable folks and getting tortured by Lin Tian again, who would then come knocking on his door. Upon hearing Li Guan''s words, all five people laughed. "Monkey, show us one." Suddenly, the man with glasses commanded, and the thin man flicked his hand, sending a cold gleam flashing past Li Guan''s face. A hair-like thin bloodline appeared instantly on Li Guan''s cheek! It scared Li Guan into a cold sweat. "What do you mean by this?" "I was too abrupt. There was a fly buzzing around Young Master Li, and I couldn''t help but give it a slash." The Monkey said nonchalantly while Li Guan''s face expressed disbelief. Using a flying dagger to hit a fly, for real? He turned around and found the flying dagger that had flashed past his face. At that moment, the dagger was stuck in the wall, with just the tip embedded. A fly''s corpse was right by the blade''s point. The control this person had over the flying dagger was just too exaggerated. It was hard enough to hit a fly with a flying dagger, but now, not only had he hit the fly, he had also pinned it to the wall. It required not only accuracy but also extreme control over the force. "Amazing! Amazing! Worthy of the Demon mercenary group." Zhang Wenbin immediately clapped and cheered loudly, although Li Guan felt a bit uncomfortable inside since the Monkey had thrown a flying dagger at him. Although it was for a demonstration, Li Guan still felt uncomfortable. However, to take down Lin Tian, he endured it. "It seems I''ve found the right people this time. This is your target, named Lin Tian. She should currently be with her school''s Broadcasting Club at Dog Tail Mountain for some wilderness survival challenge." "A wilderness survival challenge? Haha, how interesting! Cobra, how about we turn this into a grand hunting event this time?" The handsome man spoke in a gentle voice, making him seem approachable and relaxed, even though he was proposing something sinister. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Hmm, that''s a good suggestion. Young Master Li, we''ll take the job. According to our rules, you must first transfer half of the deposit into our account." "No problem." Li Guan immediately transferred the money, and the mercenaries beamed with joy. "Three days from now, wait for good news. Alright, let''s set off!" "Wow, this man is so handsome! Capture him alive; I like him," said the voluptuous woman. Everyone was startled not so much by her tone, which wasn''t particularly menacing, but because the woman''s voice was unmistakably male. Plus, he was purposely putting on a coquettish voice, giving everyone the creeps. Turned out, the woman was actually a transvestite. Ugh, Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin both felt a stomach discomfort as if something surged up. When they first saw the transvestite, they inevitably had some fantasized thoughts, and now knowing she was a transvestite, both felt somewhat nauseous. "I wish you success upon your departure." Li Guan persevered in completing these few sentences, then immediately ran to the bathroom to vomit. Soon the SUVs started up again, and the five people drove in two cars towards Dog Tail Mountain. In the following car, the transvestite was driving, while the man with glasses stared at Lin Tian''s photo without speaking for a long time. "Cobra, you seem quite afraid of this target?" The transvestite couldn''t help but ask, and Cobra adjusted his glasses. "This person is not simple, but we are here to kill, not for a one-on-one fight." "You always think things through. But could you spare me a taste? He really is too perfect." "Cut it out, look for a man after the task is completed, then you can find anyone you like. Now is not the time!" Chapter 296 Group Competition "The air here is really nice. Sis, how many days are we going to stay here?" Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran had already arrived earlier. To coordinate with the live broadcast platform, they had to park the car at the foot of the mountain and then hike up. "At least three days, I guess. Strange, how come they haven''t arrived yet?" "The speed of the bus is naturally slow. Shall we go up the mountain first?" "Let''s wait for them." After all, Shen Mengyi was the club president. If it wasn''t for Lin Tian bringing so many people at the last minute, she might have opted to take the bus with the club members. "Hmph, I think you''re just waiting for Lin Tian. Sis, he already has two women. What are you still daydreaming about?" "What nonsense are you talking about? I invited Lin Tian to join the program because I''m worried about accidents. After all, this isn''t the city, it''s the middle of nowhere. With that guy Lin Tian around, there''s nothing to fear." Just thinking about Lin Tian''s tall figure made Shen Mengyi''s mind wander for a moment. "Hey, look, they''re coming." In the distance, two buses slowly made their way towards them. Soon, everyone got off the buses, and the luggage was taken down. The buses, of course, weren''t going to stay; after dropping off people and things, they left. "Members of the Broadcasting Club, my fellow roommates? After a long journey, we have finally arrived at Dog Tail Hill. Now, let''s pick up our things and head up the mountain!" Shen Mengyi had a real sense of leadership; with just a few words, she immediately boosted everyone''s morale. Everyone started the climb, carrying their own belongings. While Dog Tail Hill wasn''t very high, several of the boys began to struggle halfway up the mountain. They were carrying a lot of tents and food, while the girls naturally had their backpacks and carried lighter things. But each boy was carrying quite a bit of stuff. That''s when the drawbacks of the stronger Yin and weaker Yang became apparent. "Oh, when are we going to get there?" Guo Rong was the first to give up. He was a foodie, and while he might not lack strength, he definitely couldn''t handle carrying a heavy load uphill. "We''re almost there. Guo Rong, if you can''t carry it anymore, give it to me!" Lin Tian noticed Guo Rong was flagging and took it upon himself to relieve Guo Rong of his load. Without the burden, Guo Rong was exhausted but still managed to keep up with the group. After a while, Feng Jiabao also began to falter. Lin Tian didn''t say a word and took on Feng Jiabao''s belongings as well. At this point, the male club members of the Broadcasting Club were in a tough spot. Under Li Ming''s lead, they were slowing down more and more. "Damn, who''s that guy? He''s carrying three people''s stuff!" "Strongman, right? If only we had a strongman to carry my stuff too. Li Ming, I can''t go on, let''s rest for a bit." Li Ming saw Lin Tian and his group in the distance and could only sigh and signal for his people to stop and rest for a while. The girls at the front had already reached mid-hill, which was the designated campsite. Not only was there a small lake, but also a forest. This forest was the target area for this outdoor activity. "Everyone, keep it up! We''re already here!" Shen Mengyi had been leading the way and after arriving, realizing that the boys with heavy loads still hadn''t made it up, she shouted some encouragement. Then she saw Lin Tian coming over by himself, carrying a pile of things. By Lin Tian''s side, Guo Rong and Feng Jiabao had their hands empty. Lin Tian had wanted to take the stuff carried by Lin Tao too, but Lin Tao seemed unwilling and kept carrying it, following right behind Lin Tian. Lin Tian was slow to arrive precisely because he was accommodating Lin Tao''s pace. "My goodness, that powerful Hercules doesn''t seem to be affected at all by carrying so much stuff while walking?" "Yeah, if I could be his girlfriend, I''d be super happy to death." A few girls whispered among themselves, all thinking Lin Tian was very manly. "Where should I put these?" Most of the things Lin Tian carried were actually for the Broadcasting Club. Their own stuff was only a small part of it. It was lucky that Lin Tian brought those few boys; otherwise, it would have been troublesome for the girls to move all the stuff from the foot of the mountain to midway up. "Here, put them here. We''re going to camp here tonight." Shen Mengyi waved her hand by the lakeside. She had chosen a spot very close to the lake. S§×ar?h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. It was near a water source and suitable for camping. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire After putting down the load, Lin Tian simply started to help set up tents. By the time they had erected seven or eight tents, Li Ming, leading the male club members of the Broadcasting Club, finally climbed to the destination with difficulty. The guys arrived, dumped their stuff, and promptly lay flat on the ground to rest. Shen Mengyi was busier, directly taking on the role of a female broadcaster. Actually, the live broadcast had started as soon as they reached the destination. As she introduced the features of Dog Tail Hill to the viewers, she also explained the plan for the outdoor survival challenge. Articulate and with a sweet voice, as soon as the live stream started, it received a lot of attention from netizens. "Wu''an University is not bad, huh! When will our school organize such an event?" "Tsk tsk, is the female host from Wu''an University as well? What''s her phone number? What about her WeChat?" "Are you really going to live here for three days? What will you eat?" "There''s a prop team, so don''t worry about food. But I''m thinking, with so many girls staying in this place for three days, the mosquitoes on the mountain are in for a treat." Netizens left comments one after another, and it was apparent that this live streaming event had successfully captured the attention of people from all walks of life. After Lin Tian had helped Li Ming and his group set up the tents, Shen Mengyi gathered everyone together. "According to the statistics by classmate Li Ming, this time our Broadcasting Club has a total of 32 people. Including the special guests I invited, we have forty people in total. There are ten males and thirty females. Since this activity is sponsored by the live-streaming platform, we need to make it interesting. I''ve divided everyone into five groups, each with two males and six females. Let''s see which group has the strongest wilderness survival ability, and the final winner will receive a prize of ten thousand yuan from the live-streaming platform." The prize money wasn''t very high, but it was just for the show''s effect. With the competition, there would naturally be sustained interest. The grouping was quickly completed. As the president of the Broadcasting Club, Shen Mengyi naturally chose to be in a group with her special guest Lin Tian. Shen Yiran, of course, was in the same group with her sister. Along with Bu Mengting, there were now four people in their group. Lin Tian thought about it and added Guo Rong to this group. Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao were assigned to other groups. Bu Mengting pulled in Zhang Guo''er, with whom she had a noticeably deeper relationship in the dorm. Shen Mengyi picked two more girls from the club members to join. That made the group complete with eight people. "Alright, now that the grouping is done. Everyone come up with a name for your group, and then report back to me." The names came out quickly. To align with the show, Shen Mengyi named her own group the Dream Girls Team. Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao''s group was called the Forest Treasure Hunters. Li Ming''s group was named the Dog Tail Mountain Commando. The remaining two groups were respectively called the Dog Tail Mountain Mushroom Pickers and the Dog Tail Mountain Fish Touchers. After the naming was completed, Shen Mengyi brought forward the female host from the live streaming platform, as she herself took on the role of the captain for the Dream Girls Team. "Now our camp is set up. But the biggest problem we''re facing next is food. We will have to live here for more than three days. If we don''t find food, we will starve. Let''s start with the first segment, searching for ingredients. Each team will search for ingredients independently. Before it gets dark, return to the camp and rankings will be determined based on each team''s harvest. First place gets five points, second place four points. And so on, with fifth place getting one point. These points will be used to determine the champion of the competition." The platform''s female host briefly explained the rules. Then, with her command, all five teams set off. Li Ming''s three Broadcasting Club teams had a clear division of labor. The Mushroom Pickers headed deep into the forest. The Fish Touchers went directly towards the lake. The Commando also entered the forest, but presumably not to look for mushrooms. It seemed that the Broadcasting Club had done a lot of preparation before coming. Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao thought about it and decided to follow the Fish Touchers towards the lake. "Lin Tian, where shall we look for ingredients?" Since Shen Mengyi had invited Lin Tian, she naturally planned to rely on him for the wilderness survival this time. "Let''s head into the woods," Lin Tian decided after pondering, and led the Dream Girl Squad into the forest. This forest may be halfway up the mountain, but it actually covers quite a large area. The three teams that entered the woods probably wouldn''t have much chance of running into one another. Lin Tian took out three coins and began to use divination. "President, what is Lin Tian doing?" Among the other two girls in the group, one was named Bai Ruolan and the other Liu Fangfang. The one asking was Bai Ruolan. This girl, true to her name, had very fair skin and dressed simply, with no makeup on her face. Pale as a lily, like an orchid, was Bai Ruolan. "I''m not sure, Lin Tian, what are you doing?" "Oh, I''m divining which direction to go in so we can gather more food ingredients." Divination? The girls all grew curious. Following the results of Lin Tian''s divination, he pointed north. The Dream Girl Squad then headed north. Along the way, no food was discovered, or maybe the group just didn''t recognize it, possibly passing by many edible things. "Look, that tree is full of fruit, and they seem edible!" Suddenly, Liu Fangfang shouted, and everyone immediately looked in the direction she was pointing. Indeed, on a nameless large tree, there were many fruits dangling from the branches. However, the tree was extremely tall, and the fruit-bearing branches were near the top of the canopy. "It''s so high, how can we pick the fruit? Should we throw stones at them?" Since Guo Rong had joined the activity, food had naturally become a priority. For a foodie like her, seeing food at this moment truly elevated her intelligence. "Don''t use stones, they''ll probably get smashed from falling from that height. I''ll go up and pick them!" Lin Tian volunteered bravely and quickly climbed the tree. Chapter 297 Wild Fruits "Wow, Lin Tian is so incredible." A group of women watched as Lin Tian climbed the tree like a monkey, easily reaching a high point. However, the hardest part was yet to come. Lin Tian was standing on a tree branch at this point, and the wild fruits were at the tips of the branches. If he wanted to collect the fruit, he had to continue stepping on the branches to go higher. But these branches were quite thin and would have difficulty supporting a person''s weight. "Lin Tian, if it''s too difficult, you should come down. Safety first." Shen Mengyi was somewhat worried; she was essentially in charge of this activity. If something were to happen, she would not be able to shirk responsibility. "Lin Tian, you''re the best!" Contrary to Shen Mengyi, Bu Mengting shouted a cheer of encouragement. Bu Mengting had spent quite a bit of time with Lin Tian, and Lin Tian always seemed to create miracles. He wouldn''t do something if he wasn''t sure of it. Lin Tian gave a slight smile to the people below, revealing a sunshine-like grin. Then, he stepped forward cautiously, much to the surprise of those below; the branches didn''t even bend under Lin Tian''s weight. Of course, this was because Lin Tian used the Flying Technique. In fact, Lin Tian could''ve directly stepped on the fruit, but that would have been too shocking. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. After easily picking a dozen fruits, Lin Tian climbed down. "Lin Tian, have you practiced Qinggong? How did those thin branches not bend when you stepped on them?" Shen Yiran rushed over and asked with a look of admiration. "That''s right, it''s Qinggong." Lin Tian was, of course, happy to play dumb¡ªa delightful misunderstanding. However, this led to some trouble as well. "Lin Tian, I want to learn Qinggong too. Let me be your apprentice, will you teach me please?" Lin Tian was immediately stumped by Shen Yiran''s words. What he had used just now was not any Qinggong, but the Flying Technique, which he exchanged from the Supernatural Ability System. Definitely not Qinggong. How could he possibly teach Shen Yiran Qinggong? "Ahem, this skill must be learned from a young age, your body is already fully grown, so it''s impossible for you to learn now. There are still plenty of fruits on the tree, I''ll go and pick them." Lin Tian made an excuse and quickly climbed back up the tree. After a few back and forth trips, all the fruits on the tree had been collected. Lin Tian intentionally left a few large ones with a deep color behind. Counting them, there were exactly four. Lin Tian gave one to Bu Mengting, one to Shen Mengyi, and one was snatched away by Shen Yiran. The last one he ate himself. "What are these fruits called? They taste sour and sweet, kind of like plums." "Who knows? They''re wild fruits from the mountains; I''ve never seen them before." "Who cares? As long as they''re delicious." "Save some to take back; we need to count the points later." Shen Mengyi noticed that everyone was enjoying them a bit too much and gave a reminder. "Why the rush? There''s still plenty of time. Let''s eat more to gain energy. Maybe we''ll find even better food later." Lin Tian felt that they could enjoy the fruits now to replenish their energy. Today, until the evening, they could only eat the food they found themselves. This wilderness survival activity was a bit artificial due to the presence of a props team. But during the day, in accordance with the live streaming platform''s requirements, they still had to eat the food they found themselves as much as possible. Having walked such a long distance, everyone was also a bit thirsty. Around fifty or sixty fruits picked from the tree were all shared and finished by the group. "It seems we''ve had a good start. Are you all rested? Let''s continue!" The Dream Girl Squad''s direction was still the one Lin Tian had previously chosen. The fifty or sixty wild fruits also sufficiently proved the effectiveness of Lin Tian''s divination; moving in this direction was bound to yield rewards. "Did you guys hear something?" After walking a few hundred meters further, Liu Fangfang suddenly called out. Everyone listened carefully and indeed heard the sound of trickling water. "It sounds like flowing water. Could there be a stream ahead?" Where there is a water source, it usually means more food. This is also why the Fishing Team and Lin Tao had directly headed for the lake. However, compared to a lake, a mountain stream is better suited for college students seeking food. The lake is too large, with many fish, but they are hard to catch. The stream has fewer fish, but they are easier to catch. "Hurry up, everyone, there might be a stream ahead. Whether we can have fish for dinner tonight depends on this." Shen Mengyi took the lead, cheering everyone on. Under the guidance of Shen Mengyi, the Dream Girl Squad quickened their pace and soon found a stream. "Wow, look, there are really fish. Let''s go catch them!" A few girls saw the fish in the river and immediately took off their shoes and socks to rush in and catch them. The water in the stream wasn''t deep; standing in it would probably just come up over their ankles. "Come on, let''s go catch some fish too." Bu Mengting became interested as well and pulled Lin Tian into the water. Guo Rong, the foodie, at this moment, was quite clever; he pretended to be all dazed and silly and sidled up to the quiet Bai Ruolan. "Ah, the fish swim away so fast; how can we catch them like this?" Shen Yiran had already tried twice and both times, the fish had slipped away. Frustrated, she stomped in the water a few times. It was Shen Mengyi, however, who remained completely focused on a fish just a step in front of her. "This time, see where you can run!" Suddenly, Shen Mengyi made her move. The fish seemed not to react in time, Shen Mengyi''s hands had already entered the water, but it hadn''t started to flee yet. Just when Shen Mengyi thought she had caught the fish, the fish''s tail slapped the water, and like an arrow released from a bow, it swiftly swam away. The speed of that fish was too fast. "Wow! Lin Tian, you''re amazing!" Just after several of the girls had failed in their attempts, a crisp and pleasant voice rang out. Bu Mengting was grinning from ear to ear, holding a fish that wouldn''t stop thrashing its tail. The fish was about as wide as a palm and over twenty centimeters long, so it was not a small fish anymore. This was the fish Lin Tian had just caught! "Mengting, take the fish to the shore and find a bag to put it in." "Okay." Bu Mengting carefully brought the fish to the shore, and all the girls were envious. "Lin Tian, come here. Help me catch one too!" Shen Yiran stood with her hands on her hips, full of command, and yelled at Lin Tian. Lin Tian suddenly thrust his hand into the water and then pulled out a fish that was slightly smaller than the one before. "Come here, I''ve caught another one." The stream wasn''t deep, and with the boost of the Ox Power Technique, Lin Tian''s reflexes and speed of action were very fast. Any fish daring to lurk near Lin Tian were bound to be caught. Shen Yiran ran over happily, contentedly holding the fish as she got ashore. Soon enough, with Lin Tian''s help, each of the girls managed to catch three or four fish each. The haul of ingredients they now had was quite respectable. "With so many fish, our Dream Girls Team is bound to be the champions tonight." Shen Yiran said with pride on her face as if she was the one who caught all the fish. "Hey, sister, why aren''t you coming up yet?" "I haven''t caught any fish yet." "Why don''t you let Lin Tian help you catch one!" "No, today I have to catch a fish myself." Shen Mengyi''s stubbornness kicked in; she was the type who had to do well in anything she undertook. Otherwise, she wouldn''t have been able to become president of the Broadcasting Club in her sophomore year, a position usually held by juniors. Lin Tian had already caught a fish and was about to call Shen Mengyi over. Upon hearing her words, he simply loosened his grip, allowing the fish to swim away. "Ah!" Suddenly, Shen Mengyi screamed, then plunged straight into the stream. The incident happened so suddenly that Lin Tian didn''t have time to react, and they were quite far apart. He rushed over immediately and picked Shen Mengyi up. At that moment, Shen Mengyi''s complexion was pale, and her lips were turning purple, it seemed that she had been poisoned. "A snake, there''s a snake!" Shen Mengyi''s consciousness was a bit blurry by then, indicating the snake''s venom was not mild. Lin Tian quickly brought Shen Mengyi to the shore, placing her on the grass by the waterside. Only then did he notice two distinct puncture wounds on Shen Mengyi''s left ankle. "Mengyi has been bitten by a snake, who can help her suck out the poison?" The snake venom was potent; if it wasn''t sucked out quickly, Shen Mengyi''s life would be in danger. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire But when the other girls heard Shen Mengyi was poisoned, all their faces turned pale with fear. "Lin Tian, will the person sucking out the poison get poisoned too?" Bu Mengting wanted to help, but was afraid of being poisoned herself, so she hesitated. Lin Tian thought that was indeed a possibility. "Forget it, I''ll do it." He positioned Shen Mengyi''s body, then grabbed her left foot. Shen Mengyi''s foot was small and exquisite, with delicate white toes and nails painted a gemstone-like pink. In ancient times, a beautiful woman''s foot was referred to as a ''jade foot'', and Lin Tian thought Shen Mengyi''s foot qualified. It appeared smooth and translucent, gleaming with a jade-like luster. The only flaw was the two puncture wounds on the ankle, which were turning slightly black. There was no more time to waste; he had to suck out the poison. Lin Tian bent down, bringing his mouth close to Shen Mengyi''s ankle. He opened his mouth and gave a fierce suck; a fishy-tasting blood entered his mouth. Lin Tian''s tongue tingled slightly, which meant the venom was indeed present. He was very careful, controlling the poisoned blood before tilting his head to spit it out. The blood he spat out was black, clearly indicating strong toxicity. Lin Tian sucked repeatedly, mouthful by mouthful. After about thirty times, when the blood he drew became fresh and red, he stopped. "Ah, Lin Tian, what, what are you doing?" With the poison sucked out, Shen Mengyi was out of danger. She opened her eyes and saw Lin Tian holding her foot, his mouth still pressed to her ankle. This pervert, did he have a foot fetish? But with so many people watching, to do this seemed a bit excessive. Shouldn''t an acolyte of such pleasures seek privacy? Shen Mengyi quickly withdrew her foot, watching Lin Tian with a wary expression. "I was saving your life!" Lin Tian appeared quite aggrieved. Chapter 298 Wild Boar Attack "Help, what help? You were clearly just..." Bullying, the three words Shen Mengyi didn''t say. Her relationship with Lin Tian was actually quite complicated, and even if Lin Tian took some advantage of her, Shen Mengyi wouldn''t really be angry. What she couldn''t figure out was how Lin Tian could lick her foot in front of the other students. Wasn''t that too perverted? "Sis, you don''t remember? Just now you were catching fish in the river, and not only did you not catch any, but you were also bitten by a snake. If it weren''t for Lin Tian sucking out the poison for you, you''d probably be dead by now." Shen Yiran stood up to speak for Lin Tian. "Exactly, I was kind enough to save you, and you mistook me for a bully. Shen Mengyi, so this is what I, Lin Tian, am in your heart?" "Ah, I''m sorry, I was just completely blanked out and didn''t know anything. I, I was really bitten by a snake?" Shen Mengyi immediately patted her forehead, vaguely remembering that she had been bitten by a snake, and then her mind went blank. "Look at the wound on your ankle for yourself!" Lin Tian pointed out the wound on Shen Mengyi''s foot irritably, and she immediately knew she had misjudged him. "I''m sorry for misunderstanding you. It looks like we''ve caught enough fish, and since there are snakes in the river, let''s head back now." With so many fish, they should be able to score quite a few points in the ingredient gathering segment. The key point was that Shen Mengyi''s foot had been bitten by a snake, which would make it difficult to move further in. Shen Mengyi herself was very influential, and several girls agreed, so Lin Tian certainly didn''t insist. A few people put on their shoes then turned around and headed back. "Be careful!" Lin Tian suddenly shouted, then quickly embraced a girl and rushed to the side. Out of the bushes, a wild boar the size of a calf emerged, its long tusks like curved knives glinting coldly. Had Lin Tian been any slower, the girl in his arms would probably have met her demise. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire "Aren''t you going to let go of me?" Shen Yiran''s face turned red with embarrassment. Even though she was usually forthright and openly flirted with Lin Tian, claiming boldly that she and her sister both wanted to be Lin Tian''s women, in reality, she had never been in a relationship before¡ªa typical virgin. Now being held like this by Lin Tian, a surge of masculine vigor rushed into her small nose. It made Shen Yiran''s body heat up slightly, giving her an unusual feeling. However, since all the classmates were nearby, Shen Yiran pushed Lin Tian a little, asking him to let go. "Stop messing around; it''s very dangerous. This boar is so big, how did it get that way?" When Lin Tian said this, Shen Yiran noticed a calf-sized wild boar was shaking its head to complete a turn in front of a tree. The boar that had been preparing to charge at Shen Yiran had been saved by Lin Tian, and the swift boar hit a tree directly. The boar seemed unharmed, its tusks still frightening. Meanwhile, a large patch of tree bark was crushed on impact. "Such a big wild boar, everyone be careful. Lin Tian, what should we do now?" Shen Mengyi was somewhat panicked. She had just been bitten by a snake, and now a boar had appeared; there were indeed many dangers in this forest. But, she was relatively calm, loudly reassuring her classmates to keep them from panicking. Finally, she asked Lin Tian what to do. "Everyone form a circle and shout loudly. Don''t look at the boar''s size; it''s actually quite timid. Seeing so many of us, it will feel threatened. If we scatter, they will pick us off one by one. So everyone must stick together and definitely not act alone. As for this boar, leave it to me." Lin Tian''s eyes fixed on the boar, full of fighting spirit. Shen Mengyi quickly gathered the students together, and the foodie Guo Rong volunteered to stand at the front. "I''m bigger with more fat, so even if the boar hits me, I probably won''t be hurt." The willingness to step up at a critical moment left an impression in the girls'' hearts. "Good on you, Guo Rong. We''re all counting on you." Bu Mengting didn''t go to Lin Tian; she knew that at this time she would be a burden. Standing with everyone, not distracting Lin Tian, was the best help she could offer him. "Don''t worry, I''m an MT!" "Hahaha..." The group laughed, and the wild boar in front of them didn''t seem so scary anymore. "Huff!" The wild boar suddenly let out a loud snort, then began pawing the ground with its hind legs¡ªa clear prelude to a charge. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Come on!" Lin Tian was not to be outdone, spreading his legs apart, pointing at the boar, and gesturing to it with a coaxing finger. Whether the boar understood Lin Tian''s challenge or its patience had run out was unclear. The boar charged, its limbs flying, its round body rumbling towards them like a small tank. As it picked up speed, several of the girls turned pale. "Don''t be afraid, I''m here, the boar won''t hurt you!" Lin Tian let out a shout, extended his arms, and charged toward the wild boar. The strongest attack of this wild boar was probably this charge. If he could withstand the boar''s charge, then the boar would be easy to handle. As all the girls were behind him, Lin Tian could not retreat; he decided to face the wild boar head-on and repel it. Standing still, his focus intensified. The running speed of the wild boar suddenly slowed down. From its previous extreme speed, Lin Tian could now catch the boar''s silhouette. Very soon, Lin Tian noticed in his field of vision that the boar''s image grew increasingly ferocious, yet its movements seemed like a video playing over a poor internet connection. A single motion could be broken down into several segments. In the eyes of onlookers, Lin Tian stood motionless, as if frozen in fear by the wild boar. In reality, Lin Tian was silently gathering strength. When the boar entered his range of attack, Lin Tian suddenly erupted, stepping forward with a lunge, and struck out fiercely with both hands. Man and boar collided, Lin Tian''s hands precisely grasping the most lethal weapons of the boar, its two tusks. "Lin Tian, go for it, Lin Tian, you''re the best!" Bu Mengting, upon seeing Lin Tian grab the boar''s tusks in one go, felt thrilled by his robust silhouette and immediately cheered him on. The other girls did not expect that such a large wild boar could be stopped by Lin Tian with his bare hands. At that moment, Lin Tian was wrestling with the boar. It must be said, the boar''s strength was indeed massive, probably ten times stronger than a calf of the same size. But the boar had chosen the wrong opponent, for Lin Tian had cultivated the Ox Power Technique and was a true strongman. The boar, with its tusks grasped by Lin Tian, realized no matter how desperately it struggled, it could not escape from this man''s hands. The boar''s hind hooves kept digging at the ground, but no matter how much it struggled, its tusks could not break free from Lin Tian''s grip; in fact, it found it difficult to even budge. Before long, it seemed the boar had exhausted its strength. Lin Tian exerted force with his hands and directly flipped the boar over. Then he mounted the boar''s belly, one hand holding the tusk, the other smacking the boar''s head with a fierce punch. The boar''s head tilted, and it was a goner. "Lin Tian! Lin Tian! Lin Tian..." Each member of the Dream Girls Team couldn''t help but cheer for Lin Tian. Lin Tian, meanwhile, got off the boar''s body and started to smile at the boar. So this wild boar was the good thing Lin Tian had divined; with this boar, the first place for the Dream Girls Team in tonight''s ingredient gathering was secure. "What are you grinning at?" Bu Mengting rushed over, throwing herself into Lin Tian''s arms, expecting to have a wonderful *** as in the ending of an American blockbuster. Who knew Lin Tian was actually smiling foolishly at a wild boar, leaving Bu Mengting not knowing what to say. "I''m smiling at this wild boar. Look at its size, our team is definitely going to be first tonight in gathering ingredients." "Yeah, you''re right, Lin Tian. With such a big wild boar, our team is definitely going to be first." Shen Yiran ran over, taking pictures of the boar with her phone non-stop. The other girls finally reacted and started posing and taking pictures around the boar. "Make sure not to upload the photos yet, this is our trump card. Let''s first bring back the fish, and when they''ve all presented their ingredients, we''ll drag out the wild boar. It''ll definitely blow their minds." The astute Shen Mengyi immediately conjured up a dramatic face-slapping scene, surely it would be great for the show. "Got it, Club President." Several girls, naturally looking up to Shen Mengyi''s lead, stored the photos in their albums, planning to upload them to their spaces right after the scoring was over. "But President, such a big wild boar, how do we bring it back?" Bai Ruolan was quieter by nature, yet her thinking was agile, always considering what others overlooked. "Yeah, exactly, how do we bring back such a big wild boar?" Guo Rong immediately echoed her, the two had interacted well while catching fish. It seemed that this time Guo Rong had found his target. "Leave the boar to me, I''ll carry it back." Lin Tian went beside the boar, grabbed it with both hands, and hoisted it onto his shoulder. Then, carrying the boar on his shoulders, he took the lead and began heading back. Shen Mengyi originally wanted Lin Tian to carry her back because she had been bitten by a snake. Now, for the sake of the wild boar, she still gritted her teeth and insisted on walking with the team. Fortunately, the snake venom had already been sucked out by Lin Tian; it was just two extra holes, after all. As night fell, the people from the five teams gradually returned to camp. As per the original agreement, they had to be back at camp before dark. "The Mushroom Team sure lives up to its name, finding so many mushrooms?" "The Fish-Touching Team isn''t doing too badly either, catching so many fish!" "The Assault Team actually caught three wild rabbits and five wild chickens. My goodness, they must have won the ingredient gathering challenge!" The Broadcasting Club''s three teams performed unexpectedly well. Lin Tao and Feng Jiabao''s Forest Treasure Hunting Team felt rather awkward with just a few fish and a dozen mushrooms. Chapter 299 Five Points Secured Find adventures on My Virtual Library Empire The live streaming platform''s crew didn''t follow the five teams during their ingredient gathering process, because it involved hunting wild rabbits, which couldn''t be broadcast. So, the people from the live streaming platform were all waiting at the camp for the five teams to return. "Four teams are back now. The three teams from Dogtail Mountain did well, but the Forest Treasure Hunting Team seems to have had a bad time. It looks like they put all their energy into treasure hunting," The female host''s presenting style was witty and humorous, which caused the students to burst into laughter, also easing the awkwardness for Lin Tao''s team. "Now, only the Dream Girls Team hasn''t returned yet. Given the current situation, the Dogtail Mountain Assault Team is very likely to win this ingredient collection competition." As the female host commented, a cheer went up among the crowd. The members of the Dream Girls Team had returned, but Lin Tian was not seen among the crowd. According to Shen Mengyi''s plan, Lin Tian was hiding in the woods, waiting for a text from Shen Mengyi before he could appear carrying a wild boar. "Dream Girls Team, where are your collected ingredients?" "Here are the ingredients we collected." A group of beautiful women brought out a bag full of fish. Their haul was comparable to the Fishing Team, but it was probably much less than the Assault Team''s. "President Mengyi, it looks like we''re going to win the championship!" Li Ming was beaming with a smile. Coming from a well-off family, he had gone hunting in the mountains with his grandfather and father since he was young and had even learned Hunting Technique from an old hunter in the mountains. For Li Ming, being in the forest felt like being at home. Actually, Li Ming was quite capable, and his reason for joining the Broadcasting Club was simple: because of Shen Mengyi. However, Shen Mengyi didn''t seem to have much interest in Li Ming, but that hadn''t discouraged him. In fact, he was the mastermind behind this outdoor activity. The live streaming platform had been paid off by Li Ming. In essence, this activity was orchestrated by Li Ming to impress a girl. The results so far were quite good¡ªLi Ming''s team had bagged so many small animals, and of course, it was all Li Ming''s doing. The only pity was that Shen Mengyi wasn''t in his team. However, that wasn''t important. What mattered was that Li Ming might beat Shen Mengyi this time. Knowing how competitive Shen Mengyi was, Li Ming figured that defeating her once would surely make a lasting impression on her. "Oh? You guys did great? Managed to hunt that many small animals?" "These were all hunted by Li Ming; we just helped collect them," Several team members couldn''t help but speak up, naturally with some having been persuaded by Li Ming''s benefits to speak up. "That''s quite impressive." Shen Mengyi was expressionless, but inside she was bursting with joy. Hehe, just wait and see how I make you eat your words. She stealthily sent a text to Lin Tian with just one digit: 1. Upon receiving the message, Lin Tian started making his way to the camp while carrying a wild boar. "The Dream Girls Team''s haul isn''t small, but it''s probably still less compared to the Assault Team. It looks like the champions of the first ingredient gathering phase has been determined, and the champions are..." Just as the female host was about to announce the Assault Team as champions, Shen Mengyi suddenly shouted. "Shen Mengyi, do you have any objections?" "Absolutely, the champions should be us, the Dream Girls Team." "Ahem, although you are the president of the Broadcasting Club, you can''t just mess around, right? The results are clear; the Assault Team obviously collected more ingredients. This is live, and many people are watching." The female host was somewhat embarrassed, thinking Shen Mengyi was going to resort to drastic measures just to claim the championship. The other students were also skeptical about Shen Mengyi''s actions. "I know, but haven''t you noticed that our Dream Girls Team is missing one person?" Hearing Shen Mengyi''s words, other students then realized that the Dream Girls Team was indeed one member short. "Shen Mengyi, what do you mean?" "What I mean is, we still have ingredients in the hands of the last team member. Now, he has returned with the ingredients. Please give him a warm welcome!" Shen Mengyi pointed in Lin Tian''s direction, and both the female host and the cameraperson turned to look. The cameraman immediately directed the camera over there. Under the dim night, Lin Tian was seen stepping out of the forest, carrying a wild boar the size of a young calf, step by step towards the camp. The dark night sky served as a natural backdrop, with the young man carrying a wild boar emerging from the forest. The massive size of the wild boar and the faint smile on the young man''s face left a deep impression on those who saw. "My goodness! Such a huge boar! I need to take a photo!" Several quick-reacting girls had already started using their phones, while the girls from the Dream Girls Team were busy uploading photos they had already taken. Needless to say, they snapped a few more of the current moment. Indeed, the sight of Lin Tian carrying the wild boar from the forest towards the camp was absolutely breathtaking. By the time Lin Tian had brought the wild boar into the camp, the entire camp was buzzing. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. This huge wild boar should be enough to feed everyone for two days. "We thought the Assault Team would win the first phase of the championship, but now there''s been a slight surprise. If my eyes do not deceive me, the Dream Girls Team has hunted a large wild boar. Therefore, the winners of the first phase should be the Dream Girls Team! This time, there should be no objections, right!" "No!" With such a large wild boar, who could possibly object? Shen Mengyi was very happy because she had directed this face-slapping play herself. Li Ming looked at the wild boar and Lin Tian, inexplicably feeling a bit gloomy. Why did everything go awry whenever Lin Tian showed up? Li Ming had calculated well that morning on the bus. There would be one or two students who couldn''t fit, and then he could invite Shen Mengyi to sit in his car. Unexpectedly, Lin Tian brought so many people along, directly causing Li Ming''s plan to fall apart. Shen Mengyi not only had to drive a few students herself, but she also made Li Ming drive some too. Now, when Li Ming should have been the center of attention, he found himself overshadowed by Lin Tian and the wild boar once again. Looking at the few hares and pheasants on his side, then at Lin Tian and that wild boar. Li Ming was at a loss for words. The first round of the ingredient gathering competition ended, with the Dream Girls Team in first place scoring five points. The second place went to Dog Tail Mountain Assault Team with four points, and the third place to Dog Tail Mountain Slackers with three points. Fourth place, Dog Tail Mountain Mushroom Team, scored two points. Last was the Forest Treasure Hunt Team, with only one point. After the announcement of the previous round''s scores, the beautiful hostess began to announce the content of the second segment. "The second round of the competition involves processing the ingredients. However, these ingredients can only be those collected by the teams in the first segment. We will see who can prepare the tastiest dish from these ingredients, and they will be the winner," she said. In simple terms, the second segment was essentially a continuation of the first. Turning the collected ingredients into food was also an important part of survival in the wilderness. It involved not only the handling of ingredients but also the challenge of cooking in the wild. Upon the hostess finishing, each team immediately got busy. The Forest Treasure Hunt Team had it relatively easy, preparing just a few fish and mushrooms. Without much thought, they decided on making fish soup. They all brought cooking gear, but there was still one problem to solve. There was no stove. The Dream Girls Team also faced this problem. "Who knows how to build a stove? We can''t cook anything without a stove!" someone exclaimed. Shen Mengyi also felt overwhelmed, as she hadn''t considered this issue before coming. "Sis, look at Li Ming, my goodness, he''s so professional. He managed to build a stove so quickly. And it seems their team brought back quite a lot of firewood when they returned. They were well prepared," Shen Yiran pointed out. Guided by Shen Yiran''s remark, Shen Mengyi noticed the situation with the Dog Tail Mountain Assault Team. Under Li Ming''s leadership, they quickly constructed a stove. Once the stove was ready, Li Ming took a few people to handle the hare and pheasant, leaving two to start the fire and boil the water. Everything was orderly. This Li Ming had hidden his skills well before. "Lin Tian, what do we do now?" Shen Mengyi had run out of ideas, but she had a backup. She went straight to Lin Tian to see what he had in mind. "Everyone go gather firewood; we''re going to roast wild boar tonight," Lin Tian said. "Roasting wild boar! That''s a great idea. Even if we made a stove, with the poor conditions here, it''s hard to control the heat and really bring out a delicious dish. But roasting should make it quite tasty," she reflected. Shen Mengyi immediately organized the others to gather firewood. Bu Mengting didn''t go this time; instead, she stayed with Lin Tian to clean the wild boar and assist him. They naturally brought knives. The wild boar''s skin was very thick, and ordinary people might not be able to cut through it with a knife. But Lin Tian was not an ordinary person; he easily skinned the boar. Lin Tian calculated a bit and decided to roast a quarter of it for today, which should be enough. Even if other teams wanted to try it, there should be enough. He cut off one hind leg and some of the boar''s butt flesh. By the time he was nearly done, Shen Mengyi and her group had returned. Each of the six people carried a small bundle of firewood. Lin Tian made a rack and then used two sturdy sticks to string up the freshly cut leg and butt meat, placing it over the fire to roast. "Come on, let me do the roasting," said Guo Rong, stepping forward. Lin Tian wasn''t very adept at barbecuing himself, and thinking of Guo Rong''s fondness for food, he was likely not unfamiliar with barbecuing, so he handed the task over to Guo Rong completely. Guo Rong was well-prepared, pulling out a bag with seven or eight different seasoning packets inside it. As he roasted, he sprinkled these seasonings on the wild boar meat. Before long, a savory aroma wafted through the air, causing many people to audibly swallow their saliva. "Not bad, Guo Rong! You foodie, you''ve got some skills after all." Chapter 300 or the First The results of the second round were quite clear. Except for the Dream Girls Team, who grilled meat, the other teams almost exclusively made clear mushroom soup or meat broth. Even though Li Ming''s team made a special broth, everyone agreed that the Dream Girls Team''s roasted wild boar meat was the most delightful food of the evening. "Mm, this wild boar meat has a great texture, and the barbecue technique is also good. I give it a ten!" The beautiful host on the stage also forgot about maintaining her figure, grabbing a piece of wild boar meat and devouring it vigorously. Lin Tian grilled quite a bit, so basically everyone at the campsite could have a few bites. "Ah, I might as well have not come to this outdoor activity. Lin Tian, why didn''t you bring me along, and chose to bring Guo Rong instead?" Feng Jiabao complained while eating the roasted wild boar meat. "Because you don''t know how to grill wild boar meat." Lin Tian took a bite of wild boar meat, very satisfied with Guo Rong''s barbecue skills in his heart. If one didn''t know how to grill wild boar meat, they really didn''t. Feng Jiabao felt even more dejected when he suddenly noticed that food lover Guo Rong was flirting with a girl. Tsk tsk, this food lover sure gained a lot this time. After the second part of the competition ended, Dream Girls Team led with ten points by a wide margin. Continuing this trend, winning the championship shouldn''t be a problem for them. Everyone naturally slept in tents at night. Lin Tian wanted to share a tent with Bu Mengting, but the conditions didn''t allow it. He had to share a tent with Guo Rong instead. After everyone had entered their tents, Lin Tian crawled out of his tent. "Lin Tian, where are you going?" "It''s too early, I can''t sleep. I''m going for a walk." Soon, two figures, one after the other, crawled into the woods. "Mengting my little wife, I''ve missed you so much." "What''s up?" "I can''t stand it, I need to take a bath first." Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire "A bath? Here? Aren''t you afraid of being seen?" "The lake is pretty big. If we go further, they definitely won''t see us. Right, walk a bit further, there''s a cluster of bushes there. I''ll hide behind it to bathe." It seemed Bu Mengting had planned this early on. "Aren''t you afraid of something in the water?" "That''s why I asked you to come out. With you here, I''m not afraid of anything." Bu Mengting shot Lin Tian a seductive smile, and suddenly Lin Tian felt that this girl was getting shrewder. Bu Mengting dressed conservatively today. After all, being outdoors, she feared sunburn and insect bites¡ªwearing more was no harm. "Turn around, no peeking!" When Bu Mengting noticed Lin Tian drooling over her chest, she pointed at him, telling him to turn his head. "I''m not peeking. We''re practically an old couple, I should watch openly." "Who''s your old wife? Shameless." Bu Mengting laughed and cursed, no longer fussing about whether Lin Tian looked or not. When the first rays of dawn shined into the woods in the early morning, people in the campsite were already up. As the organizer of this event, Shen Mengyi was the first to crawl out of her tent. She had shared the tent with Shen Yiran last night. Gradually, all the students woke up. After a simple wash, they were ready to start another day of outdoor living. "Good morning, students! After yesterday''s two rounds, the Dream Girls Team is currently in the lead with ten points. The rest of the teams, you need to work hard. Today''s competition involves building your own houses." The female host announced today''s event as everyone woke up. Using materials found on-site to build one''s house in the forest. This was somewhat challenging, considering everyone only had simple tools like daggers. Of course, the live streaming platform wouldn''t actually make everyone live in the houses they built. It was a competition stage to see who could build the most attractive and sturdy house. The first to take action was still Li Ming''s team; although they were currently in second place, they had always been the runners-up and now had eight points. They were only two points behind the Dream Girls Team. "Humph, I''ve been prepared for this stage for a long time." Li Ming snorted coldly and started to move with his team members. The other teams were a bit chaotic, with some suggesting one approach and others another. The Dream Girls Team did not start to act immediately. Shen Mengyi once again approached Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, how do you think we should build our house?" "First we should collect materials for building the house. Mengyi, you lead the girls to gather longer branches. I''ll go with Guo Rong to find some thinner trees." To build a house, sturdy pillars and beams were essential. Ordinary branches would definitely not suffice; they needed to be at least as thick as an arm. Lin Tian, along with Guo Rong, quickly gathered enough materials. "Let''s head back and start constructing the main structure." S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian, carrying nearly ten logs as thick as arms, still looked relaxed, which made Guo Rong quite envious. "Lin Tian, you''re really strong. I wish I had your strength." "With your physique, if you train properly, you might even be stronger than me." "I can''t keep it up." When Lin Tian and Guo Rong returned, most of the other teams had already started building their houses. Li Ming was the fastest; he chose a relatively level terrain where the wooden house he was constructing seemed very sturdy. "That boy from the Broadcasting Club seems to have designs on Shen Mengyi, the president of the Broadcasting Club." Guo Rong quickly stated the obvious truth. "Let them be. However, the kid''s house-building skills are quite impressive. If we want to win, we''ll need to think outside the box." Lin Tian also noticed Li Ming and saw that the house Li Ming was building was very stable and that its main structure conformed remarkably to architectural principles. It appeared that Li Ming had definitely done similar things before, so everything was organized and methodical. "What kind of trick are you thinking of?" Guo Rong''s eyes lit up, looking expectantly at Lin Tian. "Let''s build a treehouse. As long as it''s sturdy enough, it will surely be the safest of all houses. After all, living in a tree greatly reduces the level of danger." "Lin Tian, I have a question." "What''s your question, speak!" "I don''t know how to build a treehouse; do you know how to build one?" Guo Rong always liked to tell the truth, regardless of whether it hurt others or not. Lin Tian indeed had never built a treehouse before, but everything has its first time. He was still very confident in himself. The first step was finding suitable forks, which was easy since the forest had all kinds of trees. Lin Tian found one tree with an early bifurcation nearby. The first wave of branches from this tree divided into three large limbs. The junction of the three limbs could definitely support a wooden house. Lin Tian thought about it and immediately climbed up, getting materials handed to him by Guo Rong. They quickly constructed a simple outline. When Shen Mengyi returned with the branches she had gathered, Lin Tian had already used up all the wood he and Guo Rong had collected. "Why did you build the house in a tree?" Shen Mengyi was taken aback when she saw Lin Tian had built the house in a tree, suddenly worried that Lin Tian might feel defeated since he wasn''t adept at building houses and had simply given up. "Yes, but don''t you think our house''s location has already won at the starting line?" Lin Tian had thoroughly considered the idea of the treehouse. "The problem is how we are going to build this treehouse. It seems that this little stuff here isn''t enough to construct a house. Team members, put the materials in the storage and the rest of you, follow me." Since Lin Tian insisted on making a treehouse, Shen Mengyi didn''t say much. After all, she had mostly followed Lin Tian''s ideas for this outdoor activity. This time was no exception, and she fully supported Lin Tian. "Don''t worry, I guarantee that we will still be first in this stage." Chapter 301 Savage Building a treehouse was certainly no whimsical idea of Lin Tian''s. Looking at Li Ming, he must have been well-prepared. If he tried to build just an ordinary house like Li Ming, it definitely wouldn''t be as good as Li Ming''s. So why not try something different and build a house directly in the trees? Building a house in a tree certainly wasn''t easy. However, Lin Tian thought about it and felt with his Ox Power Technique and Levitation Technique, building a treehouse wouldn''t be much different from building one on the ground. "Li Ming, look at the Dream Girls Team. They''re going to build a house in the tree." The members of Li Ming''s Dog Tail Hill Assault Team were essentially his lackeys, and they had all made certain preparations before the event. sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have been pressing so closely on the Dream Girls Team in the first two rounds. In fact, if Lin Tian hadn''t shown up, Li Ming''s plan was to do these things alone with Shen Mengyi, and there would be no competition. It was Lin Tian''s appearance that made Li Ming change his plans mid-way and led to the current competition. The intention was to show Shen Mengyi how outstanding Li Ming was, but after two rounds, it seemed that Lin Tian, not Li Ming, might be the one who impressed. This competition was a spur-of-the-moment idea, the last of three segments thought up by the planners of the live streaming platform. This treehouse construction was the last segment. It wasn''t that the planning team was incompetent, but rather that Li Ming had prepared just these three events. Once these were played out, even if you, as a planner, come up with a fourth event, you''d have to be able to stand out to make it count. Therefore, Li Ming''s objective now was quite straightforward, to stand out as much as possible in the last event and get Shen Mengyi to notice him. Li Ming might seem rather ordinary, but he was truly from a major family. He believed in planning before acting. Once at a disadvantage, he wouldn''t rush; as long as there was a gain, that was enough. "It seems that Lin Tian already knows that he definitely can''t surpass us by building a house like ours." Li Ming had only interacted with Lin Tian during this event, but Lin Tian had already caused him considerable loss. Last night, he had already sent people to investigate Lin Tian thoroughly and realized more and more that Lin Tian was no simple character. "Building a house in a tree is definitely harder than on the ground. Are they giving up on this segment?" "No, for us, building in a tree may be harder than on the ground. But for some people, the difficulty might be the same. Moreover, even if the quality and stability of a house built in a tree are a bit lacking, it will score higher than a house on the ground." With Lin Tian''s detailed information at hand, Li Ming immediately guessed Lin Tian''s plan. "So, this time the first place is going to go to that Lin Tian again? What''s the point of us working so hard? Why not just casually give it a go?" "How can we do that? If we do something, we must do it the best we can. What others do is not our concern." This time, Lin Tian''s emergence had indeed disrupted Li Ming''s arrangements, but Li Ming wouldn''t waver because of this. Instead, it ignited Li Ming''s competitive spirit. Lin Tian, you may have won this time, but next time I''ll be even more prepared. "Wow! Lin Tian and Guo Rong really built a house in the tree, that''s amazing!" When Shen Mengyi returned with the Dream Girls Team for the second time. Lin Tian and Guo Rong had already constructed the main framework of the house. The house was in the tree, but around the tree, four pillars had also been erected as supports. Then, they used the place where the tree''s branches forked in the middle as the core to construct the main body of the house. The rest was just a matter of adding some thicker branches to fill it out. By noon, all the teams'' houses had begun to take shape. The Dog Tail Hill Assault Team''s house was mostly complete; from the outside, it already looked presentable. The Dog Tail Hill Mushroom Team and the Slacking Team had managed to erect their houses, but from the looks of it, they were more like sheds. The Forest Treasure Hunt Team had so far only set up four pillars, and there was a significant disagreement within the team about what type of house to build. Lin Tao thought they should build a steady, stable house, while Feng Jiabao believed that since they were already last, they might as well just throw up any sort of shed. Looking at them, it seemed unlikely that they''d manage to create anything substantial by nightfall. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire Meanwhile, the Dream Girls Team had already completed the east and south sides of their treehouse. By evening, the treehouse would surely take shape. Just as the students were energetically building their houses, on the other side of Dog Tail Hill, two SUVs pulled up. Five burly men got out of the cars. The Super Mercenary Corps had arrived! "Do we really need such a big fuss over a college student? I could just go straight to that kid, punch his head to a pulp, and we''d have the job done." One of the men, shaggy-haired and covered with thick body hair like a savage, grunted out his suggestion! This guy wasn''t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he was strong. The others remained silent, since they all had Lin Tian''s details. The target of this operation obviously wasn''t just some simple college student. Yin Ye''s failure and capture were seen as a disgrace by Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin, who regarded Yin Ye as trash. In reality, Yin Ye had been on the radar of the Super Mercenary Corps for years, and half a month ago, the Super Mercenary Corps had even sent someone to assess Yin Ye with the intention of recruiting him. They never expected him to fall into Lin Tian''s hands. "Savage, it looks like you can handle this mission on your own, right? Maybe we won''t come along after all. You just go kill that Lin Tian and bring back his head," The man wearing glasses seemed to highly approve of Savage''s words, and the latter looked quite pleased with himself. "Boss, you guys wait here; I''ll be back in a jiffy," Savage, full of excitement, darted into the Weasel Hills, leaving the others somewhat puzzled. "Can Savage really take down that Lin Tian?" An old man with a face covered in scars spoke up. This person was actually the handsome young man who had previously appeared; his name was Ghost Face. He was extremely adept at disguising himself. Almost every time he appeared, he presented himself in a different guise. Even within the Devil Mercenary Corps, no one knew what Ghost Face''s real face looked like. "Of course, it''s impossible. But Savage is a witless guy; he only believes in the power of his fists. Letting him try isn''t a bad idea. Monkey, follow him discreetly. If there''s a chance, help Savage kill Lin Tian. If there isn''t, get Savage and retreat immediately," The man with glasses was the leader of this squad, known to the others as Cobra. He had an extremely high IQ and belonged to the brainiac level. Almost no one had ever seen Cobra take action; he was only responsible for devising strategies. "Mengyi, the wood you guys found is too thin; the most crucial part of the treehouse is the base. The twigs you found won''t do. I''ll go find some sturdy stuff myself. You keep building. Stay safe," The treehouse was nearly built, but Lin Tian noticed a major issue¡ªthe base of the treehouse, when built with twigs, was unstable. Lin Tian decided to find some slightly thinner tree trunks to use directly for the base, which would make it very sturdy. Of course, this task was left to Lin Tian. The others probably couldn''t chop down even two trees in half a day, let alone carry them. "All right, you sure you can handle it alone? Should we get Guo Rong to help you?" "No need. Let Guo Rong keep helping you guys here," Lin Tian looked at Guo Rong, who was being bossed around by Bai Ruolan, and thought to himself that there was only so much he could do to help his brother; the rest was up to him. "How about I help you out?" Bu Mengting became interested, but Lin Tian still declined. He possessed a superpower, and if he went alone, he would save a lot of time. In the end, Lin Tian ventured alone into the depths of the forest, where he would encounter other students searching for wood near the edge. Only by going deeper could Lin Tian release his powers. However, just as he had parted ways with Shen Mengyi and the others and had not yet ventured deep into the forest, he was stopped by someone. A tall man stood in his way, dressed in a short jacket with a belt for trousers. He looked like a farmer from the mountains, but Lin Tian knew this man was definitely not some mere tiller of the soil. "Are you Lin Tian?" Savage quickly located his target, but looking at Lin Tian''s slender arms and legs, Savage felt his enthusiasm wane. This target looked so weak, with no apparent fighting ability. "Yes, and you are?" "I''m Savage. I''m here to kill you. Hahaha! Die!" Savage shouted and charged toward Lin Tian. With his tall frame and long legs, Savage''s strides were faster than a regular person running, and he quickly reached Lin Tian''s side. Swinging his hand as big as a fan-leaf, Savage slapped toward Lin Tian. Lin Tian, intending to gauge Savage''s strength, put up his hand to block. Their bodies both shook from the impact, yet neither of them stepped back. This guy is pretty strong to match up with me, even with my Ox Power Technique? Lin Tian was immensely surprised that someone''s physical strength could match his own when enhanced by the Ox Power Technique. "Hey, you''re pretty strong. But that''s even better; it would be boring to always dominate." For the first time, Savage encountered an enemy whose strength was not far from his own, which immediately triggered his ferocity. He kept throwing palm strikes at Lin Tian, who didn''t dodge but took him on head-to-head. Savage relied on his innate Divine Power, while Lin Tian relied on the Ox Power Technique. Each punch Savage threw diminished his strength slightly, and after a few punches, his force began to diminish. Lin Tian, on the other hand, maintained his peak condition. Soon, Savage could no longer withstand the fight and received a punch to the chest from Lin Tian, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. "If you don''t want to die, then tell me who sent you," Lin Tian said coldly, having a rough idea of who it could be. Still, he wanted to get the answer from Savage''s own mouth. "Why should I tell you? It was my boss who sent me to kill you..." As soon as Savage finished speaking, Lin Tian almost laughed; this guy was too straightforward. But he was also dangerous, and Lin Tian decided to disable Savage first. However, just as Lin Tian was about to act, he suddenly sensed a hint of danger. A cold gleam shot toward him¡ªa silver flying dagger! The flying dagger came silently, piercing through the air. "Another one?" Lin Tian quickly sidestepped to avoid it. Chapter 302 There Are Bugs After dodging the Flying Dagger, there were no more attacks. Lin Tian turned around and found that the Savage he had just seen had disappeared. Two assassins? These guys really are like lingering spirits. It seems I need to find Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin when I get back, these two are relentless. With the appearance of the assassins, Lin Tian had a feeling that something unexpected might happen this time. He quickly sped up the chopping of wood and soon had gathered over thirty logs, each as thick as the mouth of a bowl. With these logs, their cabin would definitely be very sturdy. Lin Tian himself bound the thirty logs with ropes he had made and carried them on his shoulder back to build the treehouse. In a cave on Dog Tail Hill, Cobra, Ghost Face, and Monster were playing cards. "Boss, I''m no match for him, I''ve embarrassed you." The voice of the Savage came in, sounding quite dejected. Since his debut, the Savage had lost to others many times, but no one could match his strength. However, in the last few days, the Savage had encountered Lin Tian, whose strength was not inferior, and crucially, his stamina was better than the Savage''s. "Is this guy really that formidable?" "I don''t know, but his strength is the same as mine, and he has really good stamina. He''s no ordinary person." The Savage always spoke bluntly, but he was also the most honest. Cobra adjusted his glasses and then looked at the Monkey. "Monkey, what do you think?" "He''s strong. He and the Savage didn''t seem to use their full strength. When I ambushed him, he reacted very quickly and easily dodged my attack. I couldn''t find a chance to ambush him." The Monkey fiddled with the Flying Dagger, and the usually lively him was unusually quiet at this time. "It seems that this Lin Tian really does possess some incredible abilities as the data suggested. We need to plan carefully if we want to complete this mission." With the final log placed, the Dream Girls Team''s treehouse was finally completed. Although it wasn''t very aesthetically pleasing, it was built upon a tree and was extremely stable. All eight members of the Dream Girls Team climbed into the treehouse, which still held up well. The other teams'' houses were almost finished as well. The female live-stream host began rating the houses. Starting from the weakest, the Forest Treasure Hunting Team, they ended up with a simple shelter. It was just a pillar in the middle with three logs slanting against it, covered with small branches with leaves. "The Forest Treasure Hunting Team has always been at the bottom of the scoring, and after seeing their house, I think their position is truly justified. The people in this team have no wilderness survival experience at all, they''re just tourists." The female host didn''t hold back her criticism, but thankfully the members of the Forest Team were optimistic. Next were the Mushroom Team and the Fish Touching Team, whose abilities seemed to be similar to the Forest Treasure Hunting Team. They also looked like sheds, but theirs had four support columns and were relatively spacious. They were definitely slightly better than the Forest Treasure Hunting Team''s effort. The Mushroom Team''s house wasn''t as sturdy as the Fish Touching Team''s. The bottom three rankings hadn''t changed much. It was still the Forest Treasure Hunting Team at the bottom, followed by the Mushroom Team, and then the Fish Touching Team slightly ahead. The houses that now held the most suspense were those of the Dog Tail Mountain Commando Team led by Li Ming, and the Dream Girls Team. Li Ming''s house was solidly built and even had a table inside, which earned the appreciation of the female live-stream host. "This house is very well built, practically move-in ready!" The host''s style greatly appealed to the online audience, many of whom admired the house and left comments about keeping the house for themselves to come and visit. "Now that we''ve seen the four teams'' houses, so far, the Dog Tail Mountain Commando Team''s house is the best. We still have yet to see the Dream Girls Team''s house, the team that has always led in points. What kind of surprise can they bring us this time?" The host skillfully captured the viewers'' attention, and everyone was eager to see what the Dream Girls Team had created. The group arrived at the base of the Dream Girls Team''s treehouse. "Wow! The Dream Girls Team, being the top-ranked team, actually built a treehouse. Not to mention anything else, just being able to construct a treehouse is already amazing. Now, let''s go up and take a look inside." The host climbed up to the treehouse with the camera crew and discovered that the space inside was surprisingly large. In the middle of the treehouse, there was also a wooden table. There was a circle of simple wooden stools around it. "It seems the Dream Girls Team truly deserves their reputation. With such a treehouse, wouldn''t you want to live here?" The third segment of the competition concluded, and the Dream Girls Team naturally came in first again, scoring five points. After them were the Dog Tail Mountain Commando Team, the Fish Touching Team, the Fish Bone Team, and the Forest Treasure Hunting Team. The final results came out, and the Dream Girls Team, through their own efforts, had finally won the championship. The award would be given upon their return. The champion''s prize was ten thousand yuan, divided among eight people, making it a bit over a thousand each. The contest ended just like that, leaving the students feeling a bit unsatisfied, as they had initially been told they would spend three to five days in the forest. It was only the second day, and the contest was already over. They didn''t know that there was originally no contest in this activity. It was entirely Li Ming''s impromptu idea to hold a contest when he realized that Lin Tian was getting all the attention, and of course, Li Ming had no reason to let the contest continue any further. The competition had ended, but the students hadn''t left. Some suggested staying overnight in the constructed houses. Lin Tian had an uneasy feeling, as the killers had already come after him, although he had managed to fend them off for now. But he believed the killers would come back. He found an opportunity to pull Shen Mengyi into the woods. "Why, why did you bring me here?" The two hid in the bushes, with a hint of secrecy as if they were having an affair. Shen Mengyi hadn''t resisted until Lin Tian stopped, then she pretended to explode on purpose. "There''s something important I need to tell you, this forest is very dangerous. I think it''s better to end this activity early," Lin Tian didn''t plan to tell Shen Mengyi about the assassin encounter. He just wanted to end the activity early. "Why?" Shen Mengyi asked curiously. "Don''t ask why, just listen to me. Remember our first day here, when we encountered a wild boar? If it weren''t for me, something bad would have happened that day. Now with so many people staying here, what if more wild boars show up? I alone can''t handle them all." "But we''ve already decided to stay here for one night. It wouldn''t be right for me to change the decision now. How about this, first thing tomorrow morning, I will announce the end of the activity and take everyone back," she suggested. Speaking of wild boars, Shen Mengyi also got a bit scared. It would not be good if something really happened. Lin Tian was very dissatisfied with Shen Mengyi''s response. He meant they should go back now, to end the activity. He was worried the killers would harm the innocent. "Ah!" Suddenly, Shen Mengyi screamed and threw herself into Lin Tian''s arms. Shen Mengyi''s arms wrapped around Lin Tian''s neck and her legs around his waist, clinging to him tightly like an octopus. At that moment, she didn''t care about anything else but hugged Li Tian tightly, her body slightly trembling. "A bug, a big bug." It was unexpected that Shen Mengyi, the famous president of Wu''an University''s Broadcasting Club, would be afraid of bugs. Lin Tian looked where Shen Mengyi was pointing and saw a big caterpillar crawling on the ground. "Don''t be afraid, that bug can''t kill anyone." Lin Tian comforted her softly and patted her back a few times. But Shen Mengyi was unreceptive, her body shaking even more, which made things really difficult for Lin Tian. The physical posture between the two was already quite suggestive. For a while, Lin Tian even stopped comforting Shen Mengyi, too indulgent to move. It took a long time for Shen Mengyi to calm down, her face flushed. She probably realized something was off. Once she stopped, she ended up sitting right on Lin Tian''s lap. Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire What to do? On one side was the big caterpillar, and on the other was Lin Tian''s disgusting stick. The beautiful president of the Broadcasting Club was now flustered. "Lin, Lin Tian?" "What is it?" "You, you stop poking me with your stick." "It''s not me poking you, it''s you pressing down on it." Lin Tian felt wronged, since it was Shen Mengyi who had thrown herself at him, how could she blame him now? Shen Mengyi felt a strange sensation brewing within her, and she had a vague premonition that if things continued this way, something might happen. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "You, you get rid of that bug quickly!" "Oh." Although reluctant, Lin Tian still kicked the bug away. "There, I''ve kicked the bug away." After dealing with it, Lin Tian immediately sought credit from Shen Mengyi. Unexpectedly, Shen Mengyi was still frowning. "The bug is gone, why are you still holding on so tight?" "Uh, I didn''t notice, I didn''t realize." Lin Tian quickly loosened his grip, and Shen Mengyi struggled to get off his body. After getting up, her face was burning red. She secretly glanced at Lin Tian''s crotch and thought to herself that this guy''s stick was really not small, wondering how Bu Mengting could handle it. After thinking, she felt something was off. What was she daydreaming about? As Lin Tian and Shen Mengyi secretly hid in the bushes, a male student also sneaked into another bush at that moment. He had just come out to relieve himself and then heard a panting sound. From a distance, he saw a woman with half-undressed clothes lying on the grass. ..................................................................... Chapter 303 Someone is Missing When Lin Tian and Shen Mengyi returned to the front of the treehouse from the bushes, the flush on Shen Mengyi''s face hadn''t faded. "What did you two go off to do?" Shen Yiran blocked Lin Tian and Shen Mengyi, looking at them suspiciously as if they were up to something. Lin Tian didn''t mind much, but Shen Mengyi couldn''t hold back her pride and glared at Shen Yiran. "None of your business, you brat. Go do whatever you need to do." She dragged Shen Yiran up into the treehouse. Standing in the same spot, Lin Tian was still watching Shen Mengyi when someone suddenly pinched his waist, a surge of pain snapping Lin Tian back to reality. "Mengting, what are you doing?" "What am I doing? Own up, did you take down the beautiful president of the Broadcasting Club?" Bu Mengting looked like she was ready to accuse him, but her way of questioning was way too aggressive. Lin Tian didn''t know how to respond. "You, when I''m not around for just a moment, you''re already flirting around. Hmph!" Angry, Bu Mengting ignored Lin Tian and tried to climb into the treehouse. Suddenly, Lin Tian grabbed Bu Mengting. "Let go of me!" "Mengting, be careful tonight." For some reason, Lin Tian felt increasingly restless, his ability to foresee danger allowing him to sense some impending threat. Bu Mengting was taken aback, not understanding why Lin Tian would suddenly say that. "What''s wrong?" "When I was cutting wood earlier, I encountered two assassins. They should have been after me, but I managed to fend them off. I''m worried they might strike tonight. I had tried to convince Shen Mengyi to take everyone back tonight, but she didn''t agree." The last time Lin Tian encountered an assassin, Bu Mengting and He Qianqian were in the hotel. Although they didn''t see what happened, they understood it must have been extremely dangerous. "Where did these assassins come from anyway? Wasn''t the one from before caught?" "As long as there''s money, there are plenty of assassins. The concern now is that if the assassins can''t get to me, they''ll target ordinary people." "That shouldn''t be the case, I''ve heard assassins are very professional." Bu Mengting naively said. "Who told you that, that assassins have professional ethics?" "The novels, where the assassins are really handsome and often save the damsel in distress." Lin Tian held his forehead, thinking that Bu Mengting must have been reading novels on the internet. She actually believed assassins had professional ethics. Real assassins, they would stop at nothing to complete their mission. "Mengting, something''s definitely going to happen tonight, you better stick with me." "Really, something will happen?" Bu Mengting noticed that Lin Tian wasn''t joking and immediately tensed up. "Definitely, maybe it''s already happened." Li Ming and several other students were seen running toward the treehouse, although they should have been sleeping and resting in their self-made shelters tonight. The students looked anxious, but Li Ming seemed quite composed. "Is the president here?" "In the treehouse." S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Lin Tian, watching the few people approaching, felt his premonition growing stronger. He couldn''t help but grab Bu Mengting''s hand. "What''s wrong?" Just as Shen Mengyi, who had just climbed into the treehouse, poked her head out, she had been eavesdropping on Lin Tian and Bu Mengting''s conversation. Naturally, she heard the others coming. A male student standing next to Li Ming immediately spoke up. "During dinner, we didn''t see Huang Lisheng from our team, and we thought he went to relieve himself, so we didn''t bother. But it''s been almost an hour since dinner, and everyone''s getting ready to sleep, but Huang Lisheng still hasn''t returned. We went out for a search but couldn''t find him." The student speaking was a member of the Mushroom Team from Dog Tail Hill, probably meaning Huang Lisheng was too. "How can you have no sense of organization and discipline? Didn''t you tell your members the rules? Didn''t I say beforehand that everyone should avoid going out alone at night? You must be back at the camp by nine o''clock, did you not tell them that?" After hearing Lin Tian''s words, Shen Mengyi worried for him while also feeling like Lin Tian''s earlier proposition was right. She was about to gather everyone to announce an early end to this event when the incident happened. "We did tell them, that Huang Lisheng is usually very well-behaved and obedient, but we just don''t know where he has gone." "Didn''t you call him?" "That''s why we''re worried, because we can''t get through to his phone." Knowing that the location was remote, everyone had brought a power bank, so it wasn''t an issue of phones running out of charge. If his phone was unreachable, it might truly be a serious matter. "Let''s go, we''ll search together." Shen Mengyi immediately came down from the treehouse. As the president of the Broadcasting Club and person in charge of this activity, a student had gone missing, and it was her responsibility to find him and bring him back. Lin Tian felt that something was peculiar about the situation and became even more concerned that Shen Mengyi might be putting herself in danger. "Mengyi, the situation is unclear, I suggest you should all evacuate immediately, leave this place. I''ll stay behind to search for Huang Lisheng." "No, I brought them here, and when we leave, I must take everyone back with me." At this point, Shen Mengyi showed her decisive side. Indeed, she became the president of the Broadcasting Club due to her stubbornness. ``` "When searching for people, try not to scatter. There should be at least ten people per group." Shen Mengyi didn''t oppose this suggestion, considering what Lin Tian had mentioned, there might be an assassin nearby. Moreover, there were also ferocious beasts in the forest, so the search party couldn''t be too small. Soon, everyone gathered together, and Shen Mengyi stood in the middle to briefly explain the situation. "Huang Lisheng is missing now, and we have to find him. We have about forty people here, and we will divide into four search and rescue teams, each with ten people. The remaining few can join any team they wish. Each team, choose a leader." This time Shen Mengyi didn''t continue to stay with Lin Tian; she decided to lead a team herself. Li Ming led a team, and Lin Tao volunteered to lead another. Lin Tian also led a team. All the students got involved, which Lin Tian didn''t object to because staying at the camp might be even more dangerous due to the possible attacks from assassins. "Alright, everyone set out. If you find the person, call and inform each other immediately. Also, everyone in each team, pay attention to keep up with the group and don''t get separated from the team." Those from the livestreaming platforms also joined the search teams along with the students. Lin Tian kept holding Bu Mengting''s hand because he knew that if the assassin was after him, then Bu Mengting would likely be the assassin''s primary target. "Huang Lisheng! Huang Lisheng!" The calls rose and fell across the forest, and soon the four teams branched out. As time went on, the likelihood of something bad having happened to Huang Lisheng grew. Although most people didn''t want Huang Lisheng to face any harm, almost everyone was convinced that he probably had already encountered trouble. "What is that over there?" Just then, a crisp voice with a hint of a tremble pointed to a spot ahead and exclaimed. This person was Liu Fangfang, who had joined Lin Tian''s team after witnessing his bravery earlier. Liu Fangfang was looking pale, biting her lip tightly, as if she had seen something. "Fangfang, what did you see?" Bai Ruolan had a good relationship with Liu Fangfang and approached her. "Just ahead, I... I think I saw someone." Upon hearing Liu Fangfang''s words, everyone immediately ran forward. Lin Tian suddenly realized something was wrong and sped up, rushing forward, worried he was too late. "Ahh¡ª" Several girls suddenly screamed, their voices especially piercing in the wilderness of the forest. "Everybody, stay calm. Hold each other''s hands. I''ll go check it out." Lin Tian calmed everyone down and then went ahead to investigate the situation. In the grass lay a person, or rather, half a person. The person''s limbs had been violently torn off, and now, in the bushes, there was only the torso. Not far from the body was a head and one hand; the rest of the legs and the other hand were missing. "Does anyone recognize Huang Lisheng?" Although Lin Tian might have encountered Huang Lisheng before, he still didn''t have much of an impression of the guy. A girl weakly raised her hand. "Come and help me see if this is Huang Lisheng." The girl seemed somewhat traumatized, trembling uncontrollably as if she hadn''t heard me speak. "Calm down. It''s just a dead person. What''s there to be afraid of?" With a sharp shout from Lin Tian, the group was shocked into silence, and the girl regained some composure, walking shakily over to Lin Tian. Lin Tian used his foot to straighten the head on the ground. "Look carefully, is this Huang Lisheng?" "It is, it''s him. Wuu, Huang Lisheng is dead!" The girl took a few glances and confirmed it was Huang Lisheng. She was already timid, and now, having seen a corpse, especially that of her dismembered classmate, the girls were all frightened. Meanwhile, Lin Tian quickly took out his phone to contact Shen Mengyi. But the call didn''t go through after several attempts. Something''s not right! Lin Tian suddenly had an ominous premonition. From the beginning, it seemed he had been led by the nose. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire Shen Mengyi was definitely in trouble. He hurriedly contacted the other two team leaders, telling them that Huang Lisheng had been found but was dead and dismembered. He instructed them to immediately return to camp with their teams. After hanging up, Lin Tian hesitated. Bu Mengting was by his side, but Shen Mengyi was clearly in trouble. If he went to save Shen Mengyi, he worried that something might happen to Bu Mengting in his absence. Damn these beasts. Lin Tian cursed under his breath and ultimately decided to go rescue Shen Mengyi. "Mengting, you guys need to head back to camp right away and find Lin Tao. Stay with Lin Tao and the others. I need to take care of something." Lin Tao had received Lin Tian''s Sword Dao inheritance and should be able to handle things for a while. "Go quickly. I''ll be careful on my own." Bu Mengting understood Lin Tian and patted his shoulder comfortingly. She had been by Lin Tian''s side and naturally knew that Lin Tian''s call to Shen Mengyi hadn''t gone through. ``` Chapter 304 Go Die "I''m coming too!" Just as Lin Tian was about to leave the team to search for Shen Mengyi alone, Shen Yiran suddenly followed him. When they were splitting up, Mengting did keep something to herself. Knowing how capable Lin Tian was, she let Yiran follow Lin Tian. "What are you doing?" "I heard everything. You just tried calling my sister and couldn''t get through. Something must have happened to her." Read chapters at My Virtual Library Empire Yiran had also heard that Lin Tian''s call to Shen Mengyi hadn''t gone through and was naturally very anxious. After all, there was a living example¡ªHuang Lisheng went missing and couldn''t be reached by phone either. "Yiran, listen to me. If I take you with me, it might take a lot longer. And every minute we delay, your sister is in more danger. Do you understand?" Lin Tian tried to persuade him. If he could bring someone along, Lin Tian would definitely take Bu Mengting. After hearing what Lin Tian said, Yiran hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Alright, I won''t go. But Lin Tian, you promise me that you''ll bring my sister back alive." "I promise you, I will bring your sister back." Lin Tian patted Yiran on the shoulder and then quickly turned toward the direction where Shen Mengyi''s team had been searching. He moved so fast that in the blink of an eye, he was gone, and no one knew how he did it. "No wonder Lin Tian couldn''t take me. If he really had, it really would have delayed us." Seeing how fast Lin Tian was, Yiran felt relieved but grew even more worried about his sister. "Let''s hurry back to the camp!" With Lin Tian gone, Guo Rong was the only male left. He felt a great pressure, but at this time, if he didn''t step forward, the group of girls would be even more panicked. Damn it! Lin Tian quickly found the trail of Shen Mengyi''s team, but what he found was a girl''s corpse. Could Shen Mengyi have also encountered trouble? No, that couldn''t be. These people came for me, and whatever they do, their final target must be me. Lin Tian steadied his mind and then took out three coins. It was time to use divination. The divination that didn''t work on Zhang Ya might now be useful. The three coins spun like tops, and soon, Lin Tian had the result he wanted. Shen Mengyi hadn''t died. She was in that direction. The results of the divination were about what Lin Tian had expected. Shen Mengyi wasn''t dead; she was taken hostage. The assassins'' target was still Lin Tian. Following the direction provided by the divination, Lin Tian sped up. Soon, Lin Tian discovered a cave. "Why did you take so long to come here? You''re much later than we expected." In the cave, a tall man and a skinny man sat beside a campfire eating roasted rabbit. In the corner, a voluptuous figure was tied up with ropes¡ªit was none other than Shen Mengyi. "So it''s really you! Since you''re here to kill me, why not come directly for me? What''s the point in killing these ordinary people?" Lin Tian slowly walked inside. Now that he had found the people, he naturally wasn''t afraid. "You''d better stop there; otherwise, I''ll end this girl with one slash. Tsk, tsk, look at this skin¡ªso tender you could squeeze water out of it. It''d be a shame if she got stabbed to death by me!" She Mengyi''s dagger hovered over Shen Mengyi''s chest a few times, and Lin Tian dared not move forward. "What do you guys want?" "We don''t want anything else; we just want your life." "Haha, do you think you can make me surrender my life just by holding a hostage? I''d rather watch you kill her and then kill all of you to avenge her." The main thing Lin Tian cared about was Shen Mengyi; otherwise, he really didn''t care about these two people in front of him. The monkey chuckled slyly a few times. "I know just a woman isn''t enough to make you hand over your life. But we have a hostage, so you have to play by our rules." "How do you want to play?" "Simple. Defeat the Savage, and we''ll release the hostage." The monkey gave the Savage a signal, and Savage stepped in front of Lin Tian. "You''re no match for me; haven''t we fought before?" Looking at the Savage before him, Lin Tian didn''t make a move. "We fought, but not to the death. Gah gah, now, let me show you the complete version of the Savage!" The Savage let out a wild cry and charged at Lin Tian. Lin Tian was already familiar with the Savage''s moves. This brute, other than being abnormally strong, had nothing else to worry about. "Eh!" As their arms clashed, Lin Tian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm. "Heh heh, this time, I''ve brought equipment." The Savage chuckled menacingly and continued to hammer punches at Lin Tian. With the equipment on, the Savage was enhanced all over, and Lin Tian seemed a bit flustered. Of course, it was all an act by Lin Tian; in reality, he had the strength to instantly take down the Savage. However, he was focused on Shen Mengyi and the monkey. After all, his purpose today was to save Shen Mengyi, not to fight with the Savage. Lin Tian engaged the Savage briefly, and after a few exchanges, Lin Tian pretended to slip up and was hit by a palm from the Savage, which conveniently sent him flying toward Shen Mengyi and the monkey. "Die!" Lin Tian suddenly turned and unleashed a terrifying strike, targeting the monkey beside Shen Mengyi. As long as the monkey was dealt with, then Shen Mengyi would definitely no longer be in danger. The monkey had not expected that Lin Tian, after fighting to the death with Savage, would still be distracted. Caught off guard, he had no way to respond. He immediately released Shen Mengyi and swiftly retreated backwards. Lin Tian drove the monkey away and, without pursuing him, turned around to untie the ropes binding Shen Mengyi. "Mengyi, are you alright?" "Now is not the time for tender words!" Savage charged over, slapping a palm as big as a fan towards Lin Tian. At the same time, a Flying Dagger zipped through the air, its cold gleam flashing. Facing the combined attack of two men, Lin Tian was not flustered, but suddenly a warning flashed in his mind. "You die!" The Shen Mengyi beside him suddenly pulled out a dagger and slashed at Lin Tian''s neck. Lin Tian did not hesitate to kick Shen Mengyi away, then using the momentum, he quickly moved to where the monkey was. This time, Lin Tian did not give the monkey any chance and killed him with two punches. "You are not Shen Mengyi!" After dealing with the monkey, Lin Tian then turned to face Savage and "Shen Mengyi." "Shen Mengyi" chuckled twice. "How did you know I am not Shen Mengyi? My Face-changing Technique is unmatched anywhere in the world; no one should be able to see through it." Ghost Face''s voice was hoarse and rugged, probably his original voice. "No matter how well you disguise, you are not Shen Mengyi, and you will never become Shen Mengyi." Shen Mengyi had a stubborn streak that was not seen in this Ghost Face disguised as Shen Mengyi. Moreover, when he had untied the ropes off Ghost Face just now, Lin Tian noticed that this Shen Mengyi''s figure differed significantly from the real Shen Mengyi. Combined with the internal warning, he kept his suspicions about Ghost Face. "It''s a pity. Such an exquisite setup yet it couldn''t kill you. It looks like our plan will fail tonight." Ghost Face''s combat ability was actually even worse than the monkey''s; now that his identity was exposed, and the monkey was killed by Lin Tian, they clearly had no chance left. "Humph, tell me who sent you guys here, and I might spare your lives." Lin Tian knew these people were assassins, so he wasn''t particularly hateful; he hated more the person behind the scenes. "Do you think we are the amateur assassins you caught before? We are from the Demon Mercenaries, prepare to die!" Savage suddenly bellowed and rushed towards Lin Tian. Dealing with Savage, Lin Tian had already planned ahead. He easily dodged Savage''s attack, landing a punch on Savage''s head. Savage screamed painfully, and Lin Tian''s second punch followed, not giving Savage any chance to breathe. The big man had considerable strength, but he was too clumsy. Dealing with such a guy was all about speed. Though Lin Tian hadn''t been using his full power, he now unleashed his full potential. Savage couldn''t dodge or block in time and was beaten down by Lin Tian, punch after punch, until he collapsed without a breath, obviously dead. "Now only you are left!" Lin Tian turned to the Ghost Face disguised as Shen Mengyi and slowly walked towards him. "Hold on, if you kill me, you''ll never find this girl named Shen Mengyi." Knowing he was no match for Lin Tian, Ghost Face immediately threw out his last trump card. However, Lin Tian clearly did not fall for it. "I just want to know who sent you to kill me. Also, are there any more accomplices?" Lin Tian moved step by step towards Ghost Face, who hesitated slightly. Before Ghost Face could decide, Lin Tian suddenly moved, appearing in front of him and grabbing his neck. "Speak fast, who sent you to kill me." Lin Tian slowly tightened his grip, and Ghost Face couldn''t bear the slow approach to death and quickly said, "It was Li Guan, young master Li." Ghost Face''s skills were weak, mainly focusing on the Face-changing Technique. Once it was seen through, he immediately became useless. "Do you have any more accomplices?" Lin Tian concluded that neither Ghost Face, Savage, nor the monkey were of extraordinary intelligence. It was impossible for the three of them to craft such a sophisticated murder plot alone. This murder plot started with Huang Lisheng''s disappearance, made Lin Tian and his companions split up, and then kidnapped Shen Mengyi. In the end, Ghost Face disguised as Shen Mengyi, combined with Savage''s strength and the monkey''s Flying Dagger, aimed to kill Lin Tian. If Lin Tian did not have divination and foresight, this time he might have really been doomed. "Yes, there are two more people, one is our boss, Cobra. There''s also Yanyan, a transgender, but dressed up as a woman he looks very beautiful. I''ve told you everything, now let me go!" Ghost Face''s words made Lin Tian''s heart sink, realizing that two more assassins had yet to show themselves. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. With a stronger grip, Ghost Face breathed his last. "Li Guan, you are truly seeking death, so I''ll fulfill your wish." Chapter 305 There are two more There are two more assassins, damn, Bu Mengting and the others are in danger. Lin Tianyi became anxious immediately, but no matter how anxious he was, he had to rescue Shen Mengyi first. The reason Lin Tian had just eliminated Ghost Face was that he had divined Shen Mengyi''s location and didn''t need any survivors for information. These assassins were so ferocious that the other students were likely in danger, so of course, Lin Tian wouldn''t let them go. She was leading a group of students out to look for people, but not long after they had separated from Lin Tian and the others, they encountered two people. One was very tall and big, like a Savage. The other was short, like a dwarf. But these two were extremely brutal. As soon as they saw Shen Mengyi and the others, they started killing without saying a word. The Savage could kill a person with a single punch, and the dwarf hopped around like a monkey, throwing a Flying Dagger each time. In almost an instant, the students following Shen Mengyi were lying in a pool of blood, their fate unknown. At that moment, Shen Mengyi thought she was doomed, but the two didn''t kill her. "Hehehe, beauty, you must be surprised. But watch carefully, there''s more to be surprised about. You''re still alive because our target this time is related to you. You need to serve as a good bait. Of course, it would be even better if you could join us." The person who looked identical to Shen Mengyi spoke with a man''s voice. "Hmph, how could I possibly join you, just let me go." "No, you will. Don''t believe me? Watch." The fake Shen Mengyi put on Shen Mengyi''s coat and then eerily shrank in height to closely resemble her. Then Shen Mengyi saw that the impersonator''s figure became similar to hers, and even more shockingly, the voice was also imitated very well. "This world is too boring; everyone must die! How do you like my voice?" The fake Shen Mengyi boasted to Shen Mengyi, looking very pleased with itself. Shen Mengyi was at a loss for words. "You''re going to kill Lin Tian, kill the person you like the most." In the end, they threw Shen Mengyi into a cave and tied up her limbs. The words the fake Shen Mengyi said before leaving made Shen Mengyi tremble with fright. On the one hand, she was hoping Lin Tian could come to save her; on the other hand, she hoped he wouldn''t come. She didn''t know how much time had passed while lost in her frantic thoughts when sounds came from the cave. "Kereng kereng..." The sound of rolling stones; it felt like someone was coming this way by the sound of it. Could it be those three assassins? Shen Mengyi involuntarily shrank her shoulders. Why even think about this now? I probably won''t escape with my life today. The sound grew closer, and Shen Mengyi grew more and more nervous. What would the assassins do to her? Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire God, save me! Lin Tian, come and save me! No, don''t. The thought of the fake Shen Mengyi made her heart clench again. "Mengyi!" S§×arch* The N?velFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Suddenly, a warm voice rose in the darkness, almost shining; as it spread, the light followed, and the entire cave seemed to brighten. Shen Mengyi stupidly looked towards the source of the light, a tall figure was the source, a familiar face -- it was Lin Tian. "Lin Tian, are you, are you alright?" "Of course I''m alright, but you..." "Lin Tian, you, you haven''t encountered those assassins? Those assassins are very vicious; they killed many of my sisters. Oh, and one dressed in my clothes pretended to be me. You didn''t run into her, did you?" She couldn''t believe that if Lin Tian truly encountered the impostor Shen Mengyi, what would happen. Now Lin Tian was standing alive in front of Shen Mengyi, so the impostor must not have encountered Lin Tian, right? "I did, and I''ve killed her. I could tell at a glance she was a fake." "Ah, you, how did you know she was fake?" "What''s there to see? Don''t you have any gentlemanly demeanor? Hurry up and take off your clothes for me." Now Shen Mengyi''s coat had been taken away! Lin Tian was wearing a white T-shirt, and when he heard Shen Mengyi''s words, he immediately took off the T-shirt and handed it to Shen Mengyi. Lin Tian was left feeling thirsty and his tongue dry, while Shen Mengyi couldn''t help but stealthily gaze at Lin Tian''s upper body. He did look rather manly. "Mengyi, we need to hurry and meet up with the others. I just interrogated those assassins, and there are two that got away. I''m worried the others might be in danger. The injured classmates¡ªI''ve already moved them to a safe place!" Upon arrival, Lin Tian had seen the injured classmates and had used a bottle of Healing Water to treat them. In fact, Lin Tian was burning with anxiety; he had roughly guessed the assassins'' plan. They had first taken Huang Lisheng, making everyone split up to search for him, and then they decisively attacked Shen Mengyi. Creating a fake Shen Mengyi to work in tandem with the Savage and the Monkey, they aimed to kill Lin Tian. Except their plan hadn''t worked, and instead, the three of them were killed by Lin Tian. But the other two assassins weren''t there. Perhaps their real target was Bu Mengting. After all, Bu Mengting was truly Lin Tian''s woman. Could it be that these assassins had targeted Bu Mengting from the beginning? Shen Mengyi was just a diversion, of course, if Lin Tian had been killed by the three assassins, that would have been best. This assassin organization was formidable indeed, setting up events one after the other. Lin Tian, even with divination, could only follow behind, barely escaping with his life. "Then let''s hurry." Shen Mengyi understood the seriousness of the situation. She had seen the assassins'' strength before, and knew that aside from Lin Tian, no one else could even think about fighting back, lacking even the means to defend themselves. "I have to carry you. We''ll move faster that way." Lin Tian said this and didn''t wait for Shen Mengyi to agree. He picked her up and, with a swift motion, dashed out of the cave. They moved as fast as lightning, and Shen Mengyi had never imagined a person could run so fast. "Is there still no news from Lin Tian?" At this moment, Lin Tao and Li Ming, leading their team, had joined up with Bu Mengting''s group. With about thirty people coming together from three different teams, they had gained some courage. "No, we''ve also lost contact with Shen Mengyi''s team. What should we do now?" At this point, probably only Lin Tao, Li Ming, and Bu Mengting had any real influence among the students. The three of them gathered to discuss strategies. "What did Lin Tian say when he left?" Lin Tao asked, and Bu Mengting repeated the words Lin Tian had said before leaving. "He told me that the enemies this time were not something we ordinary students could withstand, and that we should leave the forest as soon as possible and head back to the original campsite." "How can we do that? Huang Lisheng hasn''t been found yet, and Mengyi''s whole search squad has gone missing. We should search for them." If it had been up to Li Ming''s usual personality, he definitely would''ve led the remaining people to cross the river immediately. As a scion of a wealthy family, how could he recklessly put himself in danger? However, he was truly worried about Shen Mengyi, which is why he wanted to search for her, disregarding his own life or death in the process. "I disagree with searching for them. We were searching for people just now, and that''s why Shen Mengyi ended up missing. According to Bu Mengting, we''re up against an international assassin organization now. I want to ask, who here is confident they can overcome these merciless mercenaries? Right now, we must all stay here and wait for Lin Tian to return." Although Lin Tao had been taught the Sword Dao by Lin Tian, he had only ever sparred with students. He had no real experience in life-or-death combat. Faced with an assassin, Lin Tao didn''t know what his odds of winning would be. For everyone''s safety, Lin Tao still thought it was better for everyone to stay together. Li Ming really wanted to search for Shen Mengyi, but seeing the lack of enthusiasm from the others, he didn''t bring it up again. He could only hope that Lin Tian would save Shen Mengyi in time. At this point, many students didn''t know what to do. Upon hearing the call from the three leaders, they all followed them back to the campsite. Huang Lisheng''s disappearance weighed heavily on all the students. Especially since Shen Mengyi''s entire search squad was now also missing and out of reach. "What on earth has happened?" A student stood up, and Bu Mengting immediately explained the situation. "It seems an assassin team has targeted us. Huang Lisheng was severely injured by the assassin group. These assassins are very evil and extremely savage, so I hope that no one acts alone. We''ve already called the police, and they are on their way here. Until then, let''s all stay here together and make sure not to be alone, providing the assassins no chance to exploit." Upon hearing Bu Mengting''s words, all the students were unsettled¡ªprofessional assassins. Didn''t that mean everyone was in danger! "Quick, look, there''s someone coming over there!"................................................ Chapter 306 Hero Saves the Beauty Everyone tensed up, and Lin Tao moved to the front. "Don''t be afraid, everyone. We outnumber them, and the more afraid we are, the crazier those assassins will get." This Lin Tao is quite talented, Li Ming thought to himself as he watched, not seeming to be very tense at all. Hearing Lin Tao''s words, the students felt they had a pillar to lean on. Although still scared, they were much calmer than before. "Hey, why is that person naked and carrying someone, running so fast?" "Looks like it''s Lin Tian." "Who is he carrying? My God, it''s the club president. Why is she wearing Lin Tian''s clothes? The two of them?" For a moment, people''s minds raced with wild speculations. "Are you all okay?" Lin Tian stopped with Shen Mengyi in his arms, who, for some reason, just let Lin Tian carry her and didn''t get down. "Quick, carry me into the tent." After all, Shen Mengyi was only wearing a T-shirt of Lin Tian''s, with her long white legs exposed. Fortunately, it was night, so people couldn''t see very clearly. S§×ar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But even so, some people were feeling very uncomfortable about the situation. Li Ming watched as Lin Tian carried Shen Mengyi into the tent, his eyes practically shooting out flames. Damn, I''ve been pursuing her for so long and haven''t even touched her hand, and this kid has already progressed to this stage with Shen Mengyi. Lin Tian had seen that Bu Mengting was unharmed, which is why he listened to Shen Mengyi''s request to take her into the tent. "Your clothes!" As soon as she entered the tent, Shen Mengyi took off Lin Tian''s T-shirt and threw it back to him, but this ended up giving Lin Tian quite an eyeful. However, he had already seen it before, and Shen Mengyi probably thought so too. "Put on your clothes and get out quickly. There are still two assassins hiding in the dark; it''s still very dangerous here." "Alright, I know." Lin Tian backed out of the tent. "Lin Tian, did you take a bite out of the beautiful club president?" Bu Mengting asked with a hint of sourness, looking at Lin Tian, who just spread his hands. "What time is it now? I don''t have the mind for that. Do you realize that in Shen Mengyi''s team, only she is left unharmed? Everyone else is seriously injured. These assassins are truly crazy. I won''t let them get away with it." "They are all seriously injured! How come Shen Mengyi is uninjured?" Continue reading at My Virtual Library Empire Bu Mengting exclaimed in shock. She knew that if this news got out, it could cause widespread panic. Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders, looking somewhat helpless. "Because their target is me. Shen Mengyi has some connection to me; they needed to use her as bait, which is why they left her alive." "Ah, no wonder you told me to be careful when you left. It wasn''t because you were afraid that the assassin would come after me." "Of course. But what puzzles me is why the assassin, having had such a good opportunity, didn''t make a move on you. I''ve been thinking about a lot of possibilities on my way back to the camp, but this calm situation still baffles me." "Are you still hoping I''d be in trouble?" Bu Mengting gave Lin Tian a sideways glance, and he kept silent. He was still pondering the situation with the two assassins. Considering the previous layout of the assassin, the mastermind that Lin Tian had not beaten to death must still be out there. It didn''t make sense that they''d miss such a good opportunity to kidnap Bu Mengting. Unless there was a better opportunity. "Everyone, quiet down for a moment. I have something important to tell you all." Shen Mengyi had already changed her clothes. At that time, no students had entered their tents; they had all gathered together. Hearing Shen Mengyi''s voice, all the students quieted down. "Our rescue team didn''t find Huang Lisheng, but we encountered the assassins. They killed everyone except me. These assassins are brutal and utterly heartless. If not for student Lin Tian, I might already be dead. Now everyone don''t panic, and try not to stray too far from student Lin Tian." She was clearly treating Lin Tian as a bodyguard. The other students heard this and were scared out of their wits, no longer in the mood for playfulness they had earlier. "Club president, are we just going to wait here then?" A girl asked timidly. "Of course not; we''ve already called the police. The police are on their way here. Once the police arrive, we''ll be safe." "I hope the police get here quickly." A few girls clumped together, and those who recognized students from Shen Mengyi''s team began to sob loudly. Shen Mengyi could only proceed to comfort them one by one. Lin Tian, however, remained vigilant, constantly looking around for the last two assassins. Could it be that those two assassins really got scared and dared not show up? This outcome annoyed Lin Tian greatly because if the two assassins really ran away, it was very likely they would inform Li Guan, who in turn might immediately flee. Of course, it was also possible they wouldn''t inform anyone, considering they''d hardly have the nerve to go back after failing their mission. "Lin Tian! Come here for a moment; I need to ask you something." Suddenly, Li Ming waved at Lin Tian from a distance. Lin Tian remembered Li Ming, who had blocked them from getting on the bus. He spoke irritably. "If you have something to ask me, come over yourself. I don''t like to run errands." "Alright, I''ll come over." Li Ming was also very annoyed inside. He, a member of the prominent Li Family, was actually being humiliated by an ordinary university student. It really irked him. "If you have something to say, then say it quickly. I''ve got a ton of things to take care of over here." "There are too many people here. Can we find a place with fewer people?" He glanced around at the crowd and tentatively asked. Lin Tian didn''t even lift his head, and directly refused. Right now, he had to keep Bu Mengting always within his line of sight, otherwise if she was kidnapped by the assassins, that would be really uncomfortable for him. "I''m asking you, why was Shen Mengyi wearing your clothes just now? Where are her clothes?" Seeing Lin Tian was impervious to his words, Li Ming simply started questioning him right there. Although he hadn''t openly pursued Shen Mengyi, many people in the Broadcasting Club had already noticed his interest in her. His questioning of Lin Tian immediately had many people pricking up their ears. Even though the threat of the assassin hadn''t been resolved, it did not stop everyone''s flaming gossip. "Her clothes were torn by the assassin, so naturally, she wore mine. What, was she supposed to come back naked?" "Assassin? You mean her clothes were torn by an assassin? Did the assassin... " For some reason, Li Ming suddenly couldn''t continue. What if Shen Mengyi had been taken advantage of by the assassin? For a moment, Li Ming hesitated. "With me there, how could that possibly happen?" Lin Tian said confidently, seeing the look on Li Ming''s face, he could guess that Li Ming was interested in Shen Mengyi and was here to accuse him. He wasn''t fond of Li Ming to begin with, and now that Li Ming actually wanted to meddle with Shen Mengyi, Lin Tian was even more displeased. "Oh, it seems the police have arrived." Li Ming wanted to say something to Lin Tian, but the flashing lights in the distance announced the arrival of the police. Since the call had been quite clear, they were likely facing a very dangerous assassin this time, so even the armed police had been deployed. They directly sealed off the area and arranged for special vehicles to take the students back to the university. Most of the remaining matter was now unrelated to the majority of the students. Lin Tian saw Chen Yixuan, but he had to stick with Bu Mengting to go back, just in case, so he didn''t go to see Chen Yixuan and returned to the university with the other students instead. When they arrived back at the university, everything was calm, completely different from what Lin Tian had expected. Logically speaking, since two assassins were still at large, they should have gone immediately to catch Bu Mengting. But they hadn''t, which Lin Tian hadn''t anticipated. Then, he thought the assassins might be waiting at the university for Bu Mengting, yet still no signs of disturbance occurred. He always felt that the man who had devised the sequence of traps was not so easy to deal with, and that there must be more to come. "Mengting, how about you don''t sleep in the dorm tonight?" "I can''t do that today. Guo''er is terrified; I need to go back and keep her company." Guo''er had joined this event because Bu Mengting had asked her to. After all that had happened, the typically timid Guo''er was horribly frightened. Bu Mengting felt guilty, thinking that if it weren''t for her dragging Guo''er to the event, she wouldn''t be in her current state. "Okay then, who could resist such a kind little wife like my Mengting? I''m going out for a bit. Oh, stay alert at all times, I''ve got a feeling those assassins won''t give up so easily." "Don''t worry, I won''t leave the dorm." Watching Bu Mengting enter the dorm building, Lin Tian still felt something was off. Deciding that he couldn''t be passive, now that he knew Li Guan was the real mastermind, he had no intention of letting Li Guan off the hook. He might as well find Li Guan right now. The more he thought about it, the better this plan seemed to Lin Tian, so he decided to make a move. Li Guan belonged to the Dragon Family of Capital City. Lin Tian had actually already spared him once before, but now that Li Guan had once again sent an assassin, it was tantamount to seeking death. This time, Lin Tian was determined to kill Li Guan; otherwise, being followed by these assassins would be incredibly annoying, even though they couldn''t kill Lin Tian. Just as he reached the mouth of an alley, he suddenly saw a voluptuous woman being dragged into a small box by a man with his hand over her mouth. What''s with the world these days, with such things happening all the time. Without much thought, since Lin Tian had witnessed it, he decided to lend a hand. "Hey, let go of that woman. You better scram." Lin Tian folded his arms, eyeing the man''s hand that was covering the girl''s mouth. "What''s it to you? Run along, kid, go play wherever you like. Don''t try to mess with my good time. If you fancy this woman, join us. I''ll take the first turn; you take the second." The sleazy man''s voice was dark, and his face was full of impatience. Blocked by Lin Tian, he was ready to get Lin Tian involved in his misdeeds. "Disgusting! Just my luck that I was feeling itchy for some action today!" Lin Tian leaped to the man''s side in one swift step, and before the man could react, he grabbed the man''s wrist. The woman, seeing a potential rescue, struggled out of the man''s grasp. "Handsome, thank you for saving me!" Chapter 307 Double Kill The woman was dressed in a red dress, with a full chest, a slender waist, and ample buttocks, clearly a woman of exceptional quality. At the moment, she was burying herself in Lin Tian''s arms, probably terrified. However, a sense of alarm suddenly arose in Lin Tian''s heart, and he reached out to block the woman''s body, but her hands were quick to act. She held a syringe in her hand and jabbed it into Lin Tian''s body. Although Lin Tian''s hand blocked the woman''s body, it also happened to grab onto the woman''s chest, only to find it was hard and seemingly fake. Lin Tian remembered, before he killed Ghost Face, the information Ghost Face had told him. Among the remaining two assassins, one was named Savage, a transvestite dressed even more beautifully than a woman. "Savage? I''m not seeking you out, yet you dare to come out and court death?" Lin Tian roared furiously as he charged towards the transvestite, but a dark shadow dashed out from an oblique angle, the same man who had held the woman hostage earlier. Lin Tian reacted very quickly, sidestepping the man''s attack, and upon closer examination, the man had an ordinary face, wore glasses, and had profound eyes. "Lin Tian, you''ve been injected with the latest developed muscle atrophy agent by M Country, let''s see how many minutes you can last." The man laughed wildly, and when his attack missed, he immediately retreated, standing together with the transvestite. It has to be said, these two standing together did give off a kind of perfectly matched vibe. "Cobra, this guy is really strong, he scared me to death." Savage''s voice was very coquettish, indeed more womanly than a woman, and at this moment, she leaned directly on Cobra''s shoulder. Clearly, the relationship between the two was not so simple. "Don''t worry, he''s been drugged and won''t last ten minutes. We just need to drag this out until the drug takes effect." Cobra was extremely steady, for this strike he had sacrificed three members to get this one chance to kill. Originally, he could have had the chance to act against Bu Mengting, but he gave that up and left Dongweishan Mountain with Savage, getting back to Wu''an City early. They waited near the school, waiting for Lin Tian to come out, ready to stage a drama of a hero saving the beauty. "Haha, great hero, if you die this time. Being a hero is not easy, be a bad guy in your next life!" Cobra laughed wildly, now that Lin Tian was drugged, no one could save him. This assassination mission was once again to be completed amid Cobra''s meticulous planning. He was best at using strategy, leading targets step by step into the plot he had set. S§×arch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Do you know why I didn''t capture Bu Mengting? Because Savage and his group attempted a similar strategy once before, and since it didn''t work, it definitely wouldn''t work a second time. So, I brought Savage to Wu''an waiting for you. When you returned to the school, your tense nerves immediately relaxed, and that was our time to strike." Everything did seem perfect indeed, even Lin Tian with his precognitive ability only came to his senses at the very last moment. Just as Cobra said, once he had escorted Bu Mengting into the dormitory, he let his guard down. Only to have Savage inject the muscle atrophy agent into his body. Lin Tian was already feeling that his body seemed to be undergoing changes, the drug was indeed domineering. Watching the two assassins eyeing him hungrily, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and spent a Supernatural Point to obtain Healing Water. Earlier, upon returning to school with Shen Mengyi and the others, he had earned some Supernatural Points. Unexpectedly, he had to use them just after obtaining them. His Supernatural Points remained at six. As soon as he exchanged for the Healing Water, Lin Tian immediately consumed it, and all the changes in his body instantly disappeared. However, Lin Tian continued to pretend he was in great pain, and finally, he even started rolling on the ground. "Cobra, let me chop off his head. Just now, this guy dared to grab my chest when he captured me." Suddenly, Savage started acting coquettishly to Cobra, and Cobra nodded his head. "Alright, chop quickly. After this job, maybe we can retire." Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire Savage sashayed towards Lin Tian, and somehow, a sharp boning knife appeared in her hand, its blade emitting a ghostly cold light. "Die!" Savage thrust the knife towards Lin Tian''s neck, but Lin Tian suddenly leaped up, grabbed Savage''s wrist, and with tremendous strength, turned the knife around and plunged it into Savage''s own body. "Ah!" Savage screamed in agony, and as Lin Tian controlled her wrist, grasping the sharp knife, he stabbed violently at her until she stopped moving. "How could you be alright? Weren''t you injected with the muscle atrophy agent by Savage?" Cobra''s eyes widened in shock as he stared at Lin Tian, paying no mind even as Savage''s limp body fell to the ground. "Hmph! No matter how clever your schemes, they are useless against a formidable enemy. Now, meet your end!" Lin Tian charged at Cobra like a cheetah, but surprisingly, Cobra''s movements were quick, and he kept up a good fight with Lin Tian. His strength was almost as great as Savage''s, and his agility was even better than that of a monkey. Cobra truly deserved to be the leader, having such strong abilities. "Lin Tian, I was only hired to kill you. There''s no point in us fighting to the death, how about we strike a deal?" Cobra, while parrying Lin Tian''s assaults, began to negotiate with him. "What''s there to negotiate with you?" "Of course, I do. I know where Li Guan is and I even know his plans for the next few steps. Now that my mission has failed and all my men have been killed by you, I guess I''m not going to have an easy time in the assassin world anymore. So, how about I join forces with you to take down Li Guan?" Lin Tian had never expected that after the failure of his mission, Cobra would choose to team up with his target to take on the employer. This really piqued his interest. It would be easy for him to kill Li Guan, but the problem lay in dealing with the aftermath. However, if Cobra did it, it would be much simpler. "How can I trust you?" "By the fact that I now know you want to kill Li Guan." This guy was indeed good at calculating. Lin Tian thought about it and felt that this was not a bad idea. "Alright then, I count to three, and we both back off at the same time." Lin Tian suggested, and Cobra gave a small nod. The two of them counted to three together, and Lin Tian took a step back. But instead of backing off, Cobra lunged at him with a dagger, and with his other hand, he swiftly threw a gleaming Flying Dagger straight at Lin Tian''s forehead. "You dare to play me?" "Only blame yourself for being too naive. It''s a pity that I still can''t hurt you this way. It seems I have to bite the dust in your hands today. But I won''t give you the chance to kill me." As the fight intensified, Cobra started to struggle. "Heh heh heh, today you have no choice, and you won''t be able to run away." Recalling how he was just played by Cobra, Lin Tian felt extremely annoyed. With increased force, Lin Tian struck a palm blow to Cobra''s chest. Spouting a mouthful of blood, Cobra staggered back to the wall. "Hahaha, I told you I wouldn''t let you kill me. Only I can kill myself." With a loud shout, Cobra suddenly stabbed the sharp knife into his chest, and blood splattered out. He really was a madman, choosing suicide to deny Lin Tian the chance to kill him. Once Lin Tian confirmed that both Cobra and the others were dead, he vanished into the night. The assassins were all dead, but the mastermind was still at large. Inside a luxurious villa, Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin were having a great time. "Damn, these two chicks are seriously hot. Zhang Wenbin, you did a good job with this one." The two of them were evidently still playing with twin sisters. Although their hands were in casts, it didn''t stop them from having their fun. The two men lay side by side on the bed, with the twin beauties writhing on top of them, like valiant female knights. "Li Shao, is that Lin Tian definitely dead by now?" "Judging by the time, there should be news soon. Let''s enjoy ourselves all night and wait for the good news. I want to be the first to receive the good news from the Devil Mercenary Corps." After Li Guan was sure that the Devil Mercenary Corps had made their move, he and Zhang Wenbin were discharged from the hospital. However, they didn''t dare to wander around and hid in the villa, playing crazy with the twins every day. "Hahaha, that Lin Tian, daring to offend Li Shao is simply courting death. Now his body will rot in the wilderness, and then we can take over his woman." Talking about Lin Tian''s woman, Zhang Wenbin couldn''t help but fantasize a bit more. She was no less exceptional than the twins, and importantly, it would give them a sense of conquest. The twins were great in all respects, but they didn''t offer that same feeling of conquest. "Even if you were dead, I wouldn''t take your women." Suddenly, a cold voice rang out from the darkness, and a figure walked out from the shadows. When Lin Tian''s figure emerged from the dark, both Zhang Wenbin and Li Guan instantly felt an inexplicable sense of fear. "Lin Tian, how are you not dead!" "Heh heh heh, how could I die before dealing with you?" Lin Tian sneered and reached out to grab Li Guan''s neck. "Who gave you the courage to send someone after me? I spared you last time, and you still haven''t learned your lesson. Since that''s the case, I think your head''s no longer of any use. I''ll collect my harvest." Li Guan was paralyzed the moment Lin Tian grabbed his neck, and as the pressure in Lin Tian''s hand slowly increased, a vague fear arose in his heart. "Don''t kill me, please..." Li Guan begged for mercy again, but this time, Lin Tian had no intention of letting him go. "Lin Tian, you can''t kill Li Shao. Otherwise, if you offend the Li Family of Capital City, you''re finished." Zhang Wenbin tried to help, but Lin Tian slapped him across the face, causing Zhang Wenbin''s head to spin three times before he collapsed to the ground, silent. "You two fools, I was kind enough to let you go once. Since you''re both so unappreciative, I''ll grant your wish, go to hell!" Chapter 308 He Qianqian is in Trouble Wu''an City police had been extremely busy these past few days, as there was an incident involving Wu''an University students who went out on a trip, requiring a large deployment of armed police. Despite dispatching a large number of officers, by the time they reached Dogtail Mountain, the only work left for the police was to help collect bodies. Most of the assassins had been killed by Lin Tian, and the students were severely injured, with several still in comas. The bodies of three assassins killed by Lin Tian were also found. Chen Yixuan had visited the scene and, after asking about the situation, speculated that it might have been Lin Tian who killed the assassins. Just as the police had returned the students to the university, they received a tip that another murder had occurred near Wu''an University. This time, a man and a woman had died, and it was easy to find their information. They were also from the Demon Mercenary Group. The Wu''an City police department quickly released the news of the Demon Mercenary Group''s entry into the country. In Huaxia, all mercenary forces are strictly forbidden from entering. This stirred up a hornet''s nest, and higher-ups immediately dispatched agents to thoroughly investigate the matter. Before anyone arrived, the police station received a suicide note. Li Guan of the Li Family and Zhang Wenbin of the Zhang Family confessed that they had hired the Demon Mercenary Group, intending only to kill Lin Tian, but they unintentionally involved innocent students, so they chose to commit suicide as an apology. Lin Tian''s move was very clever; he killed people from both the Zhang and Li Families and made it so that neither family dared to speak out. After all, the affair involving the Demon Mercenary Group was taken very seriously by the higher-ups. Although hiring mercenaries for murders is commonplace among large families, it becomes a serious issue once it reaches the public eye and evidence is found. As Lin Tian had predicted, neither family dared to investigate whether Li Guan''s and Zhang Wenbin''s deaths were suicides. They silently swallowed this bitter pill, but of course, they were definitely not going to let Lin Tian off the hook. Anyone with a bit of sense knew that this was Lin Tian''s doing. But nobody dared to come forward and say it was Lin Tian. Not only would that offend Lin Tian, but it would also offend both the Zhang and Li Families. In essence, no one dared to move against Lin Tian openly at this critical moment. "Lin Tian, come out. I need to talk to you." Chen Yixuan had called Lin Tian''s number, furious, believing that what Lin Tian did was a complete mistrust of the police and of her. Lin Tian originally had no intention of bothering with Chen Yixuan, but since the incident, Wu''an University had tightened its security, particularly watching over each dorm closely, especially the girls'' dormitory. This situation troubled Lin Tian, as he found no opportunity to sleep with Bu Mengting. With Chen Yixuan calling, he thought it over and decided to meet with her, to flirt with the beautiful police officer. The two arranged to meet in a caf¨¦, opting for a private room. As a police officer, Chen Yixuan did not want others to see her having coffee with a university student. "Lin Tian, have you become addicted to killing? Those assassins you killed, I can overlook, but why did you go after those two degenerates from the Li Family and Zhang Family?" Chen Yixuan was not advocating for those two; she was concerned about Lin Tian. She felt Lin Tian didn''t need to ruin his life over two degenerates. Lin Tian, however, did not appreciate Chen Yixuan''s kindness. He felt that since Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had dared hire assassins to kill him, he had every right to kill those two. Lin Tian had been extremely angry before and had restrained himself twice. Eventually, he realized that he couldn''t bear with such people. "You should know the grudges I have with those two. Last time, I broke both of their hands, but what then? These guys only got worse. If I don''t kill them, should I let them continue to harm others?" "I know, but they should have been dealt with by us, the police," Chen Yixuan said earnestly. "Left to the police? Tell me, to whom? To you? Can you guarantee they won''t be released the day after they''re jailed? Can Director Zhong guarantee that? I don''t trust any police officer with this," Lin Tian said openly. Those two had complicated identities and profound backgrounds. Even Director Zhong might not dare to arrest them. "But you shouldn''t take matters into your own hands. Are those two degenerates worth it?" After mulling it over for a while and unable to fault Lin Tian''s words, Chen Yixuan finally spoke her mind. "They are just two scoundrels. You are different; you still have a bright future ahead of you." "If everyone is careful about their own feathers, then who will deal with these people? Are we waiting for fate to take its course?" Lin Tian suddenly raised his voice, and Chen Yixuan stared at him, speechless. "Then, you, be careful. Those two families certainly won''t let this go easily, and I, I might not be able to help much." Lin Tian of course knew that Chen Yixuan was just a junior police officer, facing two powerful families who might not even listen to Director Zhong. "Who says you can''t help? Actually, you can be of a lot of help." "Really? What do you want me to do?" Chen Yixuan really wanted to help Lin Tian, her decision to become a police officer was driven by her sense of justice. However, upon actually becoming one, she realized everything was not as she had thought. "Well, you know, I might soon face retaliation from the two major families. Perhaps tomorrow, I''ll be lying dead in the streets. So, shouldn''t you take care of that thing you promised me before?" Lin Tian stared at the fullness of Chen Yixuan''s chest, and chuckled slyly. Today, Chen Yixuan met Lin Tian and didn''t wear her police uniform, just a white T-shirt and matching hot shorts. The already stunning Chen Yixuan put on this combination, which was simply too tempting for words. "You, you really are something. One second I thought you were a hero, and the next you reveal your true colors. I have something else to handle, I''m leaving first." Chen Yixuan paid her bill and ran off in a panic, while Lin Tian stared at Chen Yixuan''s long white legs, feeling his temperature rise. This beautiful policewoman hadn''t shown a preference for wearing hot shorts and T-shirts before; her clothes used to cover everything. Why had she decided to wear these two pieces today? It was incredibly enticing. After Chen Yixuan had left, Lin Tian, having nothing better to do, thought about going to find Shen Mengyi. Shen Mengyi was not staying on campus; she had been in a terrible mood these past few days. She had organized this event herself, but it turned into a disaster. Nine students were killed, leaving Shen Mengyi feeling extremely guilty. Upon returning, she immediately resigned her presidency of the Broadcasting Club. Even though no one blamed her, she blamed herself. Suddenly, the phone rang. "Hello, what''s Mengyi doing?" "Nothing much, just spacing out at home." "Spacing out? Why not come out, and I''ll walk around with you." "I don''t feel like going out. Every time I step outside, I think of those injured students." Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire "What does their injury have to do with you?" Lin Tian was somewhat puzzled. "How does it not concern me? If it weren''t for the outdoor activity I organized, all this wouldn''t have happened. Also, you told me to lead the students away, but I stubbornly insisted that everyone stay to search for Huang Lisheng." So, this was what was causing Shen Mengyi to feel guilty. At the time, Lin Tian had indeed suggested that she evacuate the students first. But Shen Mengyi felt she couldn''t abandon her peers and instead organized a search and rescue team, resulting in many students getting severely injured. She believed it was her poor leadership that caused so many students to be killed. "This has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you the truth; those assassins were after me. If there''s any connection, it''s with me. Even if you hadn''t organized the students to search for Huang Lisheng, those assassins would have found another way." Lin Tian explained for a long time, but Shen Mengyi still wouldn''t listen, stubbornly believing she was the cause of everyone getting hurt. Oh, this woman was stubborn. Lin Tian was extremely frustrated, and despite all his efforts, Shen Mengyi remained unmoved. In the end, she even hung up on Lin Tian, saying she needed to think things over. What is there to think about, it''s clearly Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin''s fault. Lin Tian was furious, wishing he could drag Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin back from the Underworld and kill them again. That evening, Lin Tian, as usual, called Bu Mengting, and after some casual chatting, Bu Mengting suddenly suggested that Lin Tian should find time to see He Qianqian. Usually, He Qianqian would not let Lin Tian visit her at school. She''s a teacher, and Lin Tian was her former student. Being seen by others might not leave a good impression. "Why would you think of asking me to see Qianqian, my wife? She doesn''t even want me coming to see her." "Just sneak in and see her." "Why should I sneak in to see her?" If Lin Tian went to see He Qianqian, it wouldn''t be without rekindling some of their affection. Sneaking around just isn''t Lin Tian''s style. Bu Mengting paused, then finally spoke. "Actually, it''s because Sister Qianqian told me that there''s a man who has been aggressively pursuing her lately. In the past, this sort of thing has happened, and Sister Qianqian always handled it well. But this time, this man seems to have a complicated background and is quite menacing. Sister Qianqian is a bit scared." What, someone dares to harass my wife Qianqian? Lin Tian''s head heated up, and his fists clenched. "Then why didn''t Qianqian just tell me directly?" "You don''t know Sister Qianqian; didn''t she tell you she didn''t want you going to school? If she breaks the rule this time, you won''t listen to her in the future. But she probably feels very threatened this time, so she purposely told me, letting me mention it to you."

I''ll go check it out tomorrow and see who dares to compete with me, Lin Tian, for a man." The next day, Lin Tian took the day off, skipped classes, and went straight to his former high school. He Qianqian was still teaching there. Lin Tian sat in a small shop opposite the school. The shop had a few pool tables; he used to play pool there when he was bored. Today, there were also a few people playing. Lin Tian just watched them play................................ Chapter 309 Disbanding the Army "Wanna play a round, buddy?" A guy with a buzz cut approached Lin Tian, who was idle, looking to pair up for a game. "I''m not that good, just watching is fine." "You guys are always posing. Twenty bucks a round, are you in or not?" As soon as Lin Tian heard this, he knew he had encountered a gambler. At the pool hall, it''s common for solo players who can''t find a partner to look for an opponent to play a game with them. Some people play for the table fee, losing means paying up just a few bucks. Others play big, betting ten or twenty a game. They''re mostly local thugs, the kind without a decent job. "I came here to meet someone today," Lin Tian wasn''t really in the mood to play; he wasn''t feeling too well either. "Come on, if you''re not playing, then don''t sit here. This is a pool hall, why would you come here if you''re not going to play?" Lin Tian still didn''t agree, so the buzz cut guy pulled out a pack of cigarettes and gestured to the stand owner. The owner came over, and the buzz cut guy handed him a cigarette. Then he said to the owner. "Look at this guy sitting here not playing pool; I think this kid has bad intentions, probably here to cause trouble. How about I help you kick him out?" "Brother Niu, why bother with such small fry? I can handle it," said the owner, who had just accepted a cigarette from Brother Niu and naturally sided with him. "Hey, bro. If you''re not going to play, could you give up your seat?" Lin Tian was already in a bad mood, and seeing Brother Niu and the owner playing good cop, bad cop right in front of him made him feel even worse. "Let''s play then, brother. I didn''t agree to play with you earlier because twenty was just too low for me. I don''t play for anything less than a hundred. Are you game?" Lin Tian pulled out a red bill directly from his pocket. "Well I''ll be, a hundred bucks scares Brother Niu to death? Fine, let''s go for a hundred." Brother Niu also took out his wallet and slammed it on the table, thick with what appeared to be a couple thousand bucks. When word got out that someone was playing for a hundred, the entire pool hall buzzed with excitement. It''s not always high-skill matches that draw crowds; sometimes, the audience comes for the excitement. The pool hall often featured games with numbered balls on smaller tables. Usually, it''s just two players hitting balls of different sizes, finishing off with the black eight-ball, and sinking the eight-ball would mean victory. The owner set the balls, and the two began their game. "Go ahead, bro, I''ll let you start first," Brother Niu, who hadn''t finished his smoke, generously let Lin Tian take the first shot. "You said it, don''t regret it later," Lin Tian said without hesitation, found himself a straight cue stick, wiped the tip, and placed the white ball on the left side. That was his old habit, believing starting from the left side would bring good luck. Lin Tian''s skills in pool had always been decent. Now, with the Ox Power Technique enhancing his abilities, he believed he was no less skilled than a world champion in pool. He gripped the cue stick, the Ox Power Technique flowing through the entire stick, making it seem like an extension of his arm. Suddenly, he moved his arm and broke. "Thud!" The white ball blasted towards the numbered balls like a bomb. Lin Tian''s shot was exceptionally powerful. Breaking from the left, Lin Tian had a spot that guaranteed at least two balls would sink. Even before, his success rate was 80%, and now with the Ox Power Technique, he figured it was a sure thing. Indeed, he didn''t disappoint himself ¨C the balls scattered, and three went in straight away. Numbers 15, 11, and 3. According to the rules, Lin Tian could choose between solids and stripes. He evaluated the situation on the table and chose solids. The 15 and 11 balls were placed back on their spots. Choosing solids was strategic because Lin Tian noticed that the solid balls were either near the pockets or in easy-to-hit spots. His pool skills were good, particularly his aim. His main issue was getting the cue ball to the desired position after each shot, a challenge due to not grasping the right way to apply force. Now, with the Ox Power Technique, he no longer had to worry about applying force. The cue ball went exactly where he wanted it to. "Bang! Bang! Bang..." After a series of sounds, all the solid balls had been dispatched into the pockets by Lin Tian, leaving the black eight-ball at the lip of the pocket. "Brother Niu, thanks for the game!" Lin Tian called out to the already stunned Brother Niu, then gently pushed, and the eight-ball dropped into the pocket. Everyone around was dumbfounded ¨C they were used to seeing snooker on TV, where international masters occasionally managed a break and run. But in real life, seeing someone pot three or four balls in succession was already the hallmark of a pro. And here was Lin Tian clearing the table in one go ¨C a feat not even international masters could guarantee. "Looks like you lost, Brother Niu." "Uh, ah, okay. Here, this is your hundred bucks." Brother Niu was also stunned. Lin Tian had expected him to cheat or call for backup. Instead, Brother Niu quickly handed over a hundred bucks and even volunteered to play another round. That made Lin Tian feel a bit awkward now. After witnessing Lin Tian''s skill, why would Brother Niu go again? It''s like giving money away, isn''t it? He didn''t say anything; maybe Brother Niu was really good, too? ``` Brother Ox took his shot, but luck wasn''t on his side, not a single ball went in. Lin Tian didn''t give Brother Ox a chance, sinking a striped ball first, choosing his own score, and then finishing the game in one more stroke. "Impressive, very impressive!" Brother Ox took out another hundred yuan and handed it to Lin Tian. "Bro, I really didn''t recognize a great man when I saw one just now. What''s your name? I''m called A Niu, I''ve got some local fame around here. Everyone calls me Brother Ox." "I''m Lin Tian, I used to go to school around here." Seeing that A Niu was in a good mood, Lin Tian chatted with him a bit more. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Noticing that Lin Tian seemed easy to talk to, A Niu asked him for a favor. "What kind of favor do you need?" "Help me play in a long-table pool competition. To be frank, I, A Niu, am something of a name on this street." A Niu raised his own thumb and then looked somewhat dejected. "But last month, a bunch of tough guys showed up. Knowing I love playing pool, they set me up for a game. I ended up losing control of the street next door to them." Once I realized something was off, I stopped playing with them. But a loss is a loss; I conceded that street. Only to find out that these guys, not content with just that street, keep scheming to take over my territory here. "Through another pool game?" "Right." "I''m not free today." Lin Tian was here today for He Qianqian''s sake; he didn''t have time to help someone he just met to play pool. "No worries, we haven''t set a date for the match yet. To be honest, I don''t really want to play pool with them. This is my last stand, and if they want it, I''m going to make them pay a high price." "Alright then, we''ll get in touch when I''m available." Lin Tian thought that after he dealt with He Qianqian''s matter, he might be able to help A Niu out. Most importantly, if he got on good terms with A Niu, then He Qianqian would have someone to look after her in the future. After leaving his number with A Niu, Lin Tian left. School had let out, and Lin Tian also spotted He Qianqian. But he didn''t rush over, just watching her from afar. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire He Qianqian seemed to be in a bad mood, looking around fearfully every so often as she walked. Then Lin Tian saw two people following closely behind He Qianqian, quite brazenly shadowing her every move. Lin Tian followed them as well. He Qianqian planned to have lunch; the cafeteria was too crowded, so she usually dined at a nearby small restaurant. However, today, she clearly felt she was being followed and wanted to turn back, but seeing the two burly men behind her, she didn''t dare to retreat. Feeling hesitant and uneasy, she arrived at a restaurant. "Teacher He, we meet again!" Just as He Qianqian ordered a bowl of noodles, a man sat down opposite her. This man wore flashy, multicolored clothes and big shorts. With slightly dark skin and three scars on his face, he looked like a thug. "I''m sorry, I don''t want to see you, and I have a boyfriend now." Seeing this man, He Qianqian''s face turned pale. "Hehehe, you have a man now? Where is your man? I haven''t seen him around," said Jie Jun arrogantly, scanning the surroundings. Anyone who made eye contact with him instinctively stepped back. He Qianqian felt a bitter frustration. She had encountered Jie Jun while shopping one day. At that time, Jie Jun harassed her for her phone number and address. He Qianqian rejected him outright and did not continue shopping; instead, she ran straight back to school. Now with Lin Tian not by her side, she felt a bit panicked. "Her man is right here!" Suddenly, a voice rang out; Lin Tian sat down beside He Qianqian, wrapping his arm around her slim waist. He Qianqian was startled, wondering when a man had appeared beside her. Upon a closer look, to her surprise and warmth of heart, it was the very person she had longed for. She immediately threw herself onto Lin Tian. At that moment, she didn''t care what others might think or say; she just wanted to be a damsel in distress, leaning on Lin Tian forever. "Where the hell did you pop up from, kid?" Jie Jun was still exuding his threatening aura, and when he turned his head, he was shocked to find the woman he fancied in another man''s embrace. Moreover, this man looked rather youthful, probably not even twenty. "Where the hell did you pop up from?" Lin Tian stared coldly at Jie Jun, returning the same question to him without altering a word. "Hahaha, interesting. I''m Jie Jun, and it''s been many years since I''ve met someone who dares to be so cocky in front of me. Tell me, do you want to leave here without your arms today, or without your legs?" Jie Jun grabbed a dagger from his bag, its blade shining coldly and clearly very sharp. The bystanders, seeing this, couldn''t help but retreat a few steps. The owner, who was about to step in and mediate, turned around and hustled back into the kitchen. "Brother, I''m a bit greedy. I''d like to keep both my arms and my legs, really." ``` Chapter 310 Cooperation "You''re f*cking asking for it!" The moment he spoke, Jie Jun was enraged. In his heart, he had long considered He Qianqian his woman. He violently slammed his foot onto the table and thrust the dagger in his hand straight towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian had already been furious these past few days due to the issues with the Devil Mercenary Group. The murder of Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had only intensified his killing aura. Before the dagger could reach him, Lin Tian kicked out quickly, sending Jie Jun flying backward with preemptive force. Jie Jun never expected Lin Tian to be so fierce, and taken off guard, his dagger flew out of his grasp. Lin Tian caught the dagger midair and followed Jie Jun like a shadow. As soon as Jie Jun hit the ground, Lin Tian thrust the dagger into his arm. "This arm''s too fragile, it''s no use to me. Let''s see how this leg holds up!" With that, another stab of the dagger landed on Jie Jun''s thigh. Jie Jun was tough, having been stabbed in both the arm and thigh by Lin Tian, yet he didn''t utter a sound, just clenched his teeth and glared at Lin Tian. "Brother, not bad at all. But you''ve wounded me today. Your woman''s going to be in danger in this area." "What you''re saying is, I should take your life as well." "Heh heh heh, ruthless. I like it. We''re both men, let''s skip the nonsense. I wasn''t prepared today. How about this? In three days, I''ll set a place. We''ll settle this matter, okay?" Jie Jun didn''t even glance at his wounded arm and leg, but his defiant spirit indeed made an impression on Lin Tian. Killing Jie Jun would be as easy as turning his hand, but there was the fear that Jie Jun had subordinates who might target He Qianqian if they got the chance. "Fine, you set the place in three days." The two exchanged phone numbers, and Jie Jun limped away. Even as he bled with every step, he remained utterly silent. "Lin Tian, why have you become so violent?" He Qianqian hadn''t been able to react when Lin Tian made his move. By the time she realized what was happening, Jie Jun had already been stabbed twice by Lin Tian. "What, you think issues like this can be settled peacefully? If I don''t show him who''s boss, will you ever feel safe being a teacher?" Lin Tian was unconcerned, the incidents involving Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had deeply affected him. He felt you couldn''t show mercy to such people. "Why be so fierce?" He Qianqian didn''t understand why Lin Tian was being so harsh today. She had been stressed enough by Jie Jun these past few days, and now Lin Tian was speaking harshly to her as well. "I wasn''t being fierce, I was just trying to reason with you. You''ve seen what Jie Jun is like. I stabbed him twice, and he didn''t even frown. He''s capable of anything." "You''re right, okay? I was wrong. I''m leaving." Lin Tian was so wrapped up in himself he forgot a cardinal rule: never try to reason with a woman. Seeing that Lin Tian wasn''t listening to her, He Qianqian stopped talking and turned to leave. Lin Tian quickly followed after her. Without He Qianqian, he''d be sleeping alone tonight. "Qianqian, my dear wife, why are you upset? Don''t go." Instead of stopping when she heard him, He Qianqian walked even faster. Lin Tian hurriedly chased after her and embraced He Qianqian. "What are you doing? Who do you think you are? Stop messing around." He Qianqian pushed Lin Tian away, pretending not to recognize him. "Naughty boy, that''s enough. There are too many people around." Lin Tian, of course, got the message and carried He Qianqian straight into a hotel to check in. On the outskirts of Wu''an, there was a sprawling estate. Underground at the estate, a unique duel was taking place. Nobody knew that beneath the estate there was such an expansive space, resembling a boxing arena. Spectators filled the seats on all sides, and the central area, surrounded by wire mesh, was where two individuals were fighting. Both fighters were brutally aggressive, their faces fierce. Soon, one of them, having received several heavy blows, started falling behind. The other seized the opportunity to chase his advantage. The losing fighter, now with virtually no chance, began scrambling around, but he couldn''t escape¡ªthe wire mesh was all around him. Eventually, he was beaten to death by his opponent. "Nice!" "Awesome!" A roar of applause like a tsunami came from the surrounding crowd. This was the underground fighting ring, where every fight was a battle to the death. However, most people weren''t there to watch the fights; they were there to gamble on the outcomes. Most believed that only in a fight to the death could the truth emerge, minimizing the chance of cheating. The winners celebrated jubilantly, chanting the name of the victor. Jie Jun sat in a room with a glum expression. "Brother Jun, who did this? Just tell the brothers, we''ll go and smash him into pieces." A chubby man in a black T-shirt sat next to Jie Jun. Discover hidden content at My Virtual Library Empire "No need, this is my own business. It''s a matter between men. Did you get the person I asked you to buy from the Siberian Training Camp?" "Brother Jun, Black Wolf''s price is too high. How about we switch to someone else?" the chubby man said, his face changing, obviously troubled. "You must get me Black Wolf, and he has to be in Wu''an within three days," Jie Jun said in a low voice. Upon hearing this, the chubby man immediately nodded. "Yes, Brother Jun. I will definitely take care of it." "Also, make an announcement that someone wants to challenge Black Wolf. Charge a higher price for the tickets. Also, prepare a hundred guns for me, and a hundred men. Get it done within three days as well." "Yes, Brother Jun." After arranging everything, the chubby man left. A woman in a white coat pushed the door and entered. "Brother Jun, your wound shouldn''t undergo strenuous exercise." "Shouldn''t, means it still can be done. Cut the crap and come over here." "Lin Tian, you''re really going?" On the street, Lin Tian was out shopping with He Qianqian. He had just received a call from Jie Jun, asking him to meet the next day. He Qianqian was worried Jie Jun might have some scheme up his sleeve and expressed her concerns to Lin Tian with apprehension. "Of course I''m going. How can I be at ease leaving you here as a teacher if I don''t deal with this guy?" "I always feel that there''s more to Jie Jun. Previously, a teacher at our school, after confronting Jie Jun for pestering me, ended up in the hospital the next day with broken legs. After being discharged, he moved away. I''ve heard that Jie Jun has extensive influence." "So what if he has great influence? If someone dares to trouble Lin Tian''s woman, I must teach him a lesson." Lin Tian had a plan in mind to put an end to Jie Jun and his cronies for good. He had already been in touch with Chen Yixuan a couple of days ago. This Jie Jun had a file in the police station. It seemed he was an important figure in an underground force. The police had been letting it slide, not taking action in hopes of drawing out the person behind the scenes. However, the outcome wasn''t very good, and recently they had also intended to take down Jie Jun. This was the perfect time for Lin Tian, who sought out Chen Yixuan, and they hit it off right away. Lin Tian transformed overnight into an informant for the police force. Chen Yixuan even gave Lin Tian a mission. To find the Bai Family''s missing daughter, who was kidnapped by this underground force. The Bai Family was another major dynasty in Capital City, and their daughter had been kidnapped by this group. That''s what made the police decide to move against Jie Jun. After comforting He Qianqian, Lin Tian secretly met with Chen Yixuan. "Lin Tian, Jie Jun has already started taking action. He''s mobilized a lot of his underlings. I estimate he''s already prepared a trap for you." "Don''t worry. With Jie Jun alone, he won''t stand a chance to harm me," Lin Tian said with confidence. Chen Yixuan also had a certain level of faith in Lin Tian. This time she sought him out, actually to get Lin Tian to try his best to find Ms. Bai. Chen Yixuan handed a photo to Lin Tian. Taking it, he glanced at it and noticed that this heiress of the Bai Family was indeed very beautiful. "If I see her, I''ll definitely be able to get her out." "It''s not about seeing her, you have to go look for her. Lin Tian, you may not realize the importance of this matter. We''ve been watching Jie Jun for a long time. We suspect he''s connected to a certain criminal gang. If it wasn''t for the Bai Family getting involved this time, we would''ve waited a bit longer before making a move on him." Upon hearing this, Lin Tian knew that Chen Yixuan was probably just passing on a message. He couldn''t understand these upper echelons, who were willing to tolerate the criminals right in front of them for the sake of catching the ones behind the scenes. "You people, failing to remove evil when it''s in your grasp, I just don''t get how you think." "I didn''t understand it before either, but now I get it a little. People like Jie Jun, you kill ten of them and twenty more will pop up. Only by finding the people behind them can this issue be truly resolved." Chen Yixuan''s words gave Lin Tian some insight, but he didn''t need to rack his brain over these issues. "Alright, but this time around, my main goal is to take care of Jie Jun. As for Bai Xiaoluo, if I see her, I''ll bring her out. If I don''t, there''s nothing I can do." "Lin Tian, why can''t you understand? You''ve already offended the Li Family, and here''s such a good opportunity. Why don''t you grasp it?" Chen Yixuan gave Lin Tian a stern look, which he found a little confusing. How was this matter related to the Li Family again? Sear?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "What opportunity?" "The Bai Family''s strength is nearly equal to the Li Family''s. If you establish a connection with the Bai Family this time, the Li Family will have to think twice before making a move on you." After Chen Yixuan finished explaining, Lin Tian realized she meant for him to save Bai Xiaoluo and then establish good relations with the Bai Family. This was indeed a good idea; those powerful dynasties were deeply rooted and would probably not act personally against Lin Tian. "Well then, I''ll do my best to look for her. But I can''t guarantee I''ll find her, as my main objective is still to deal with Jie Jun." Chen Yixuan was satisfied with Lin Tian''s reply. Clearly, he had taken the matter to heart.
